	8:08pm Becky: Professionalism!
	8:08pm BH: Floyd Cramer made it all the way to "Class of 74 and 75" in that series of albums. 74-75 includes tracks like "Sunshine on my Shoulders" and "Time in a Bottle". Something about 1976 did not motivate him to do another "Class of" album
	♥ 8:08pm Doug in JC: It wouldn't be WFMU with it
	8:08pm RabidRabbit: Good time of day to all:)
	♥ 8:08pm Doug in JC: @Uncle Michael does this link work? pbs.twimg.com...
	♥ 8:09pm Mr. Fine Wine: Surprise endings on semi-familiar or unfamiliar records: bane of DJs
	♥ 8:09pm Uncle Michael: Galveston: My all-time #1 single.
	♥ 8:10pm PigeonsAndRust: Not too often do Clay and Becky play the same song the same day...and it's one of my all-time favorites. Yay!
	8:10pm Becky: The worst is the fake surprise ending, and then you start the next record and it comes back.
	8:10pm Becky: Wow, really? Yeah, this record is so great.
	8:10pm P-90: Genius writing, arrangement, production
	♥ 8:10pm Little Danny: Haha
	♥ 8:10pm Uncle Michael: YES, Doug! That's great. They look just like the ones in my yard...but 50% more!
	♥ 8:11pm Matt Fiveash: That happens every time I play Born To Run! I always forget!
	8:11pm BH: "Galveston".. the #1 single of the 60s according to Galveston-area radio stations
	8:11pm P-90: Famous 6-string bass solo
	♥ 8:11pm Doug in JC: @uncle michael Thanks! They're completely ridiculous to watch
	♥ 8:11pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Let's go honky tonkin'
	🎸 ♥ 8:12pm ultradamno: Say, it's National Flower Day, so if you have Yellow Rose of Texas or something on hand.
	♥ 8:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Becky and pals. This reminds me I'm supposed to write a parody version of this and call it "Garbage Man" for Matt Warwick.
	♥ 8:12pm Handy Haversack: Clay played "Galveston" ... I think that was today? Days are real.
	🎸 ♥ 8:12pm ultradamno: What? The Cramps song isn't good enough?
	♥ 8:13pm PigeonsAndRust: Clay talked over the bass solo and it's been bugging me all day, so this was necessary
	♥ 8:13pm Little Danny: Huh. Charmingly awkward title/chorus. "Who in the heck... Gave you permission... To date another guy?"
	8:13pm The Butterman: Handy, that was this morning. You’re right.
	♥ 8:13pm Uncle Michael: Mine are almost impossible to see now that the trees are leafed-out. But I'm looking forward to watching hunting lessons.
	♥ 8:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Cute fuzzy birds - red tail hawks? Hi Uncle Michael, Handy, Becky
	8:14pm BH: "Guys, we can't sing a chorus of 'Who the hell gave you permission'"
	8:14pm Richard S: The correct response to "Who in the Heck" is "You Don't Own Me".
	8:14pm P-90: Clay should know better, but he does a top-forty drive-time flavored thing, so it’s kinda forgivable (kinda)
	8:15pm Becky: Hear, hear, Richard.
	♥ 8:15pm Handy Haversack: Doug, those chicks are riDONKulous. Amazing. Hey, SC Lizzie! Nice to see you!
	🎸 ♥ 8:15pm ultradamno: The doo-woppieness of that put The Cookies' Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby) back in my head where it's been since Monday when Robin Crutchfield played it elsewhere.
	♥ 8:16pm Matt Fiveash: Becky was that the same Caps that do the bonkers instro (with screaming) "Red Headed Flea"? Sounds like it could be...
	8:17pm Richard S: Anyone else snapping their fingers?
	♥ 8:17pm Handy Haversack: In honor of WednesdayFMU, Kate and I have decided to play heads-up poker -- also known as "shuffling."
	♥ 8:18pm Doug in JC: This makes me want to move
	♥ 8:18pm listener 126464: Hi Becky, thanks, cheers everybody.
	8:19pm BH: Floyd Cramer should have had a boom back in the days when MIDI files were trendy on the internet. Don't even have to change anything for it to sound like a MIDI
	8:20pm BH: I am not saying that in a harsh way, for the record
	8:20pm Becky: @Fiveash Could be! The other side of this is a crazy instro called "Octavian"
	8:21pm Becky: This is the cheeriest song about shipping out I know.
	🎸 ♥ 8:21pm ultradamno: As a term of endearment 'my little thingamajiggy" doesn't really roll right off the tongue.
	8:22pm BH: Korea, much more rhymeable than Vietnam.
	8:23pm Richard S: "...There we ate the living...."????
	8:23pm P-90: He sounds oddly happy to be saying goodbye to Maria
	🎸 ♥ 8:23pm ultradamno: Goodbye lambs I'm off to Vietnam?
	8:24pm BH: "Goodbye Mom, I'm off to Vietnam" is much less romantic
	🎸 ♥ 8:25pm ultradamno: Ma'am would rhyme better, but sounds even more distant.
	8:25pm BH: P-90: there wasn't even a war going on, he's skipping town to go to South Korea
	♥ 8:25pm Doug in JC: Who wouldn't at this point?
	8:27pm Ira: Looking forward to the next song by Norm Cash!
	♥ 8:27pm Doug in JC: "Goodbye Hon"? I guess if you had to
	♥ 8:27pm Bootsie: Wow, I need to hear more from that Bobby Cash!
	8:27pm JakeGould: Hello Becky… And fellow Honkies.
	8:28pm Becky: Okay, Ira, just because you said that, I'm skipping backwards to play a Norm Cash record.
	♥ 8:28pm Uncle Michael: Becky, Franlie Laine's "Rose, Rose, I love You", his first single for Columbia... b-side to "Jezebel" is practically giddy with leaving a gal behind.
	♥ 8:29pm Little Danny: Ahhh. Ernie Chaffin's Sun sides.
	♥ 8:29pm Matt Fiveash: These Ernie Chaffin Sun sides are so cool...
	8:30pm Becky: I wasn't kidding!
	♥ 8:30pm Matt Fiveash: Whoa Little Danny looks like we showed up to the party wearing the same outfit! Haha
	8:31pm Becky: This song is kind of a bop, to paraphrase the youth
	♥ 8:31pm Little Danny: Haha! ❤️❤️❤️
	♥ 8:32pm loveless: No, the youths say, "it slaps".
	♥ 8:34pm Mr. Fine Wine: Stormin' Norman!
	♥ 8:35pm Handy Haversack: See, for me, a bop is something you come from, like a battle, and subsequently don't want your hair messed up.
	8:35pm Joe B: Norm was one of the last players to not wear a batting helmet
	8:35pm Becky: Norm Cash's single was indeed recorded in Windsor. Obviously.
	8:35pm BartFargo: We’re all the better for Ira’s suggestion, joke or no!
	♥ 8:36pm steveo: Good evening! Glad to be listening!
	♥ 8:36pm Little Danny: I wonder if Mr. Fine Wine has ever done a show of singing/musical athletes?
	8:37pm Richard S: LOL @Handy!
	♥ 8:37pm Little Danny: I reckon it'd be possible to put together 60 minutes of athlete-sung honky-tonk, too
	♥ 8:37pm Mr. Fine Wine: If I'm not mistaken, one cannot travel between Detroit and Windsor currently. Which is insane. It's like a five-minute drive. It's Brooklyn to Manhattan. (Though once you get to the Windsor side, the accents are different!)
	♥ 8:38pm Handy Haversack: And the streets are so clean!
	🎸 ♥ 8:38pm ultradamno: Would this show or his have a deeper bench of selections to choose from for athletic music?
	♥ 8:38pm Mr. Fine Wine: True dat, HH.
	8:38pm Joe B: it'd be close
	♥ 8:38pm Little Danny: I suspect soul and R&B had more athlete cameos
	♥ 8:39pm Handy Haversack: Oof, there's Bernie Williams ...
	8:39pm Richard S: Singing Athletes sounds like a job for the World's Worst Records Show (on Sheena's Jungle Room - Wed @ 2 pm)
	♥ 8:40pm Little Danny: I picked up this half-decent singing Dodger 45 a coupla months ago: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:40pm Mr. Fine Wine: Danny: No. I guess it would consist of...Cassius Clay, Lee Maye, Meadowlark Lemon, Emile Griffith, Willie Horton...Problem is, I'm not sure how great it would be. Will ponder further.
	♥ 8:40pm PigeonsAndRust: Another favorite! Been looking for a nice 78 of this for a while
	♥ 8:40pm Mr. Fine Wine: Oh yeah! Maury Wills!
	8:41pm JakeGould: Speaking of Sun records, the sunset here in Brooklyn is very bright orange. Sailor’s delight! Ditto for the rest of us.
	♥ 8:41pm Little Danny: Possibly my fave early rock 'n' roll hit, "The Fool." Best echo, best vocal, best guitar, best lyrics.
	8:41pm Joe B: Rosey Grier
	♥ 8:41pm Matt Fiveash: What about recording stars who came close to the big leagues or showed serious promise? Charley Pride and Rod Stewart come to mind...
	8:41pm Becky: Willie Mays has a good one!
	♥ 8:41pm Little Danny: Roosevelt Grier c'mon now
	♥ 8:42pm Mr. Fine Wine: Oh yeah, Joe! Good (needle)point.
	♥ 8:42pm Little Danny: Or what Joe B. said
	8:42pm Joe B: Country - ex-Cincinnati Bengal Mike Reid
	8:42pm Becky: oh man good call
	♥ 8:42pm Matt Fiveash: Arthur Lee Maye!
	♥ 8:42pm PigeonsAndRust: Hm, I did not know that "The Fool" was written by Lee Hazelwood...or that Sanford Clark is still alive!
	8:42pm P-90: Are we forgetting Rosie Grier’s Beautiful People? (On purpose?)
	♥ 8:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dandy Don Meredith?
	♥ 8:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Handy I just spied your bop comment and laughed aloud
	8:43pm Joe B: and Terry Bradshaw! though not sure anyone would want to play that one
	♥ 8:43pm Matt Fiveash: Thank god Joe B is here when this topic comes up!
	8:43pm P-90: Shoulda known Joe B would mention Rosie first... Why do I bother?
	♥ 8:43pm Little Danny: Not too mention all those who first came from semi-pro careers. Lotsa boxers in the mix.
	8:44pm Becky: I have a Jerry Jeff Walker record ABOUT Nolan Ryan!
	8:44pm BH: The former Ron Artest released some songs (I don't know how much work would need to be done to play them on the radio, but...)
	8:44pm Joe B: that is a great one
	♥ 8:45pm Bootsie: Did anyone else hear just that as "jungle of SEMEN"?? :-D
	🎸 ♥ 8:45pm ultradamno: But Terry looks sincere about it www.45cat.com...
	♥ 8:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: We have a record with jazz drumming where someone just calls out the names of Oakland A's in an excited tone
	♥ 8:45pm Bootsie: @pigeons and rust, me too neither!
	♥ 8:46pm Mr. Fine Wine: A show about sports would be easier (and better?) than a show by pro athletes.
	♥ 8:46pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Lizzie, that's awesome.
	8:46pm Becky: @Lizzie that sounds awesome
	8:47pm JakeGould: Rosie Greer is a treasure.
	8:47pm Becky: My countryman Pau Gasol sings. I can't in good faith recommend it though.
	♥ 8:47pm Mr. Fine Wine: Whoa, this is beautiful.
	🎸 ♥ 8:47pm ultradamno: If you live next to tributary named Devil River you can't really complain when it takes your baby, it's what it does.
	♥ 8:48pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, you knew the deal when you went for cheap housing.
	♥ 8:48pm Mr. Fine Wine: Is it CALLED that, though? Or is that just his characterization of it?
	8:48pm JakeGould: What kinda crappy parent are you if your baby gets swept away by a river?
	8:49pm pTristan: what da heck does Pau Gasol sing and does Mark join in on harmony?
	8:49pm BH: "I never suspected my baby would fall off of Mount Satan..."
	🎸 ♥ 8:49pm ultradamno: Hard to say, there's cities named Hell so it being an official name isn't out of the question.
	♥ 8:49pm Matt Fiveash: Where's Gaylord? He'd be able to help contribute to this sudden burst of sports/Music crossover fandom
	♥ 8:50pm Mr. Fine Wine: The mascot of French Lick, Indiana, is the devil.
	♥ 8:50pm PigeonsAndRust: Apparently there's a Devil's River in Texas (where else?)
	8:50pm JakeGould: @Matt: Probably taking one of his luxuriating baths he is wont to do.
	🎸 ♥ 8:50pm ultradamno: Home of the pluto water, so it's appropriate.
	♥ 8:50pm Handy Haversack: Clearly one who didn't Devil-proof the house, Jake. Do FMU DJs ever talk about what their walk-up songs would be if they were MLB players? Because it comes up a LOT on my softball team.
	8:51pm Becky: I have a suspicion Collay is of Louisianan descent.
	♥ 8:51pm Bootsie: @Becky nice enunciation ;-)
	8:52pm Becky: that was for you bootsie
	🎸 ♥ 8:52pm ultradamno: Speaking of which www.tripadvisor.com...
	8:52pm JakeGould: Rents? Down? NYC? Hahahah! Seriously, this city is a dead zone in some parts.
	♥ 8:52pm Matt Fiveash: Mr FW: Larry Bird is the devil?
	8:53pm Becky: @Jake I have heard of buildings where this is true!! And I imagine in the fall when kids don't come to NYC for college there will be an impact..
	♥ 8:54pm Mr. Fine Wine: Well, yes, MF. But also I just know that when my parents and I vacationed there in the early '70s I ended up with a stuffed-animal Satan.
	♥ 8:54pm Uncle Michael: Handy, I'd walk up to the Sanford & Son theme.
	♥ 8:54pm Handy Haversack: Oooo, nice one, UM.
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm ultradamno: Another French Lick pluto water devil digital.library.in.gov...
	♥ 8:55pm Mr. Fine Wine: Rockford Files theme.
	8:55pm JakeGould: @Becky: I work for a major university in NYC and that is all the talk is about… The Fall of 2020 and what will that be like. Registration is normal if not a bit higher than previous falls… But what if people are just accepting, decide they don’t want to come to NYC in the middle of a pandemic and just sacrifice their deposits?
	♥ 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Oh, damn -- time flies when you're losing at poker and loving the show! Thanks, Becky! Thanks, Skeleton Scott! Nice hanging out, Tonks!
	8:56pm Richard S: I'd walk to the Get Smart theme anytime....
	🎸 ♥ 8:56pm ultradamno: Apparently the devil wore boxer briefs in 1910
	♥ 8:56pm Little Danny: Great show Becky, thanks!
	8:56pm Becky: @Jake plus foreign students may not be able to get visas!
	♥ 8:56pm PigeonsAndRust: "Have Gun Will Travel" theme.
	8:56pm Richard S: Hope to tune in next week! Until then, stay sane and healthy!
	8:57pm JakeGould: @Becky: Yeah, that too.
	♥ 8:57pm listener 126464: Thank you Becky!
	♥ 8:57pm Handy Haversack: "Sick Bed of Cuchchulainn"!
	♥ 8:58pm PigeonsAndRust: ...the stopwatch from Sixty Minutes. Ah well. Thanks Becky fer a great show!
	♥ 8:59pm radioronan: Looking forward to the D-List. Thanks Becky! Thanks Skeleton Crew!
	♥ 8:59pm McGroovey: Great show tonight, Becky!
	9:00pm P-90: Thanks, Becky!
	♥ 9:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Fantastic show, Becky! Thanks!
	9:01pm JakeGould: Thanks!

	🎸 ♥ 8:21pm ultradamno: As a term of endearment 'my little thingamajiggy" doesn't really roll right off the tongue.
	8:22pm BH: Korea, much more rhymeable than Vietnam.
	8:23pm Richard S: "...There we ate the living...."????
	8:23pm P-90: He sounds oddly happy to be saying goodbye to Maria
	🎸 ♥ 8:23pm ultradamno: Goodbye lambs I'm off to Vietnam?
	8:24pm BH: "Goodbye Mom, I'm off to Vietnam" is much less romantic
	🎸 ♥ 8:25pm ultradamno: Ma'am would rhyme better, but sounds even more distant.
	8:25pm BH: P-90: there wasn't even a war going on, he's skipping town to go to South Korea
	♥ 8:25pm Doug in JC: Who wouldn't at this point?
	8:27pm Ira: Looking forward to the next song by Norm Cash!
	♥ 8:27pm Doug in JC: "Goodbye Hon"? I guess if you had to
	♥ 8:27pm Bootsie: Wow, I need to hear more from that Bobby Cash!
	8:27pm JakeGould: Hello Becky… And fellow Honkies.
	8:28pm Becky: Okay, Ira, just because you said that, I'm skipping backwards to play a Norm Cash record.
	♥ 8:28pm Uncle Michael: Becky, Franlie Laine's "Rose, Rose, I love You", his first single for Columbia... b-side to "Jezebel" is practically giddy with leaving a gal behind.
	♥ 8:29pm Little Danny: Ahhh. Ernie Chaffin's Sun sides.
	♥ 8:29pm Matt Fiveash: These Ernie Chaffin Sun sides are so cool...
	8:30pm Becky: I wasn't kidding!
	♥ 8:30pm Matt Fiveash: Whoa Little Danny looks like we showed up to the party wearing the same outfit! Haha
	8:31pm Becky: This song is kind of a bop, to paraphrase the youth
	♥ 8:31pm Little Danny: Haha! ❤️❤️❤️
	♥ 8:32pm loveless: No, the youths say, "it slaps".
	♥ 8:34pm Mr. Fine Wine: Stormin' Norman!
	♥ 8:35pm Handy Haversack: See, for me, a bop is something you come from, like a battle, and subsequently don't want your hair messed up.
	8:35pm Joe B: Norm was one of the last players to not wear a batting helmet
	8:35pm Becky: Norm Cash's single was indeed recorded in Windsor. Obviously.
	8:35pm BartFargo: We’re all the better for Ira’s suggestion, joke or no!
	♥ 8:36pm steveo: Good evening! Glad to be listening!
	♥ 8:36pm Little Danny: I wonder if Mr. Fine Wine has ever done a show of singing/musical athletes?
	8:37pm Richard S: LOL @Handy!
	♥ 8:37pm Little Danny: I reckon it'd be possible to put together 60 minutes of athlete-sung honky-tonk, too
	♥ 8:37pm Mr. Fine Wine: If I'm not mistaken, one cannot travel between Detroit and Windsor currently. Which is insane. It's like a five-minute drive. It's Brooklyn to Manhattan. (Though once you get to the Windsor side, the accents are different!)
	♥ 8:38pm Handy Haversack: And the streets are so clean!
	🎸 ♥ 8:38pm ultradamno: Would this show or his have a deeper bench of selections to choose from for athletic music?
	♥ 8:38pm Mr. Fine Wine: True dat, HH.
	8:38pm Joe B: it'd be close
	♥ 8:38pm Little Danny: I suspect soul and R&B had more athlete cameos
	♥ 8:39pm Handy Haversack: Oof, there's Bernie Williams ...
	8:39pm Richard S: Singing Athletes sounds like a job for the World's Worst Records Show (on Sheena's Jungle Room - Wed @ 2 pm)
	♥ 8:40pm Little Danny: I picked up this half-decent singing Dodger 45 a coupla months ago: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:40pm Mr. Fine Wine: Danny: No. I guess it would consist of...Cassius Clay, Lee Maye, Meadowlark Lemon, Emile Griffith, Willie Horton...Problem is, I'm not sure how great it would be. Will ponder further.
	♥ 8:40pm PigeonsAndRust: Another favorite! Been looking for a nice 78 of this for a while
	♥ 8:40pm Mr. Fine Wine: Oh yeah! Maury Wills!
	8:41pm JakeGould: Speaking of Sun records, the sunset here in Brooklyn is very bright orange. Sailor’s delight! Ditto for the rest of us.
	♥ 8:41pm Little Danny: Possibly my fave early rock 'n' roll hit, "The Fool." Best echo, best vocal, best guitar, best lyrics.
	8:41pm Joe B: Rosey Grier
	♥ 8:41pm Matt Fiveash: What about recording stars who came close to the big leagues or showed serious promise? Charley Pride and Rod Stewart come to mind...
	8:41pm Becky: Willie Mays has a good one!
	♥ 8:41pm Little Danny: Roosevelt Grier c'mon now
	♥ 8:42pm Mr. Fine Wine: Oh yeah, Joe! Good (needle)point.
	♥ 8:42pm Little Danny: Or what Joe B. said
	8:42pm Joe B: Country - ex-Cincinnati Bengal Mike Reid
	8:42pm Becky: oh man good call
	♥ 8:42pm Matt Fiveash: Arthur Lee Maye!
	♥ 8:42pm PigeonsAndRust: Hm, I did not know that "The Fool" was written by Lee Hazelwood...or that Sanford Clark is still alive!
	8:42pm P-90: Are we forgetting Rosie Grier’s Beautiful People? (On purpose?)
	♥ 8:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dandy Don Meredith?
	♥ 8:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Handy I just spied your bop comment and laughed aloud
	8:43pm Joe B: and Terry Bradshaw! though not sure anyone would want to play that one
	♥ 8:43pm Matt Fiveash: Thank god Joe B is here when this topic comes up!
	8:43pm P-90: Shoulda known Joe B would mention Rosie first... Why do I bother?
	♥ 8:43pm Little Danny: Not too mention all those who first came from semi-pro careers. Lotsa boxers in the mix.
	8:44pm Becky: I have a Jerry Jeff Walker record ABOUT Nolan Ryan!
	8:44pm BH: The former Ron Artest released some songs (I don't know how much work would need to be done to play them on the radio, but...)
	8:44pm Joe B: that is a great one
	♥ 8:45pm Bootsie: Did anyone else hear just that as "jungle of SEMEN"?? :-D
	🎸 ♥ 8:45pm ultradamno: But Terry looks sincere about it www.45cat.com...
	♥ 8:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: We have a record with jazz drumming where someone just calls out the names of Oakland A's in an excited tone
	♥ 8:45pm Bootsie: @pigeons and rust, me too neither!
	♥ 8:46pm Mr. Fine Wine: A show about sports would be easier (and better?) than a show by pro athletes.
	♥ 8:46pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Lizzie, that's awesome.
	8:46pm Becky: @Lizzie that sounds awesome
	8:47pm JakeGould: Rosie Greer is a treasure.
	8:47pm Becky: My countryman Pau Gasol sings. I can't in good faith recommend it though.
	♥ 8:47pm Mr. Fine Wine: Whoa, this is beautiful.
	🎸 ♥ 8:47pm ultradamno: If you live next to tributary named Devil River you can't really complain when it takes your baby, it's what it does.
	♥ 8:48pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, you knew the deal when you went for cheap housing.
	♥ 8:48pm Mr. Fine Wine: Is it CALLED that, though? Or is that just his characterization of it?
	8:48pm JakeGould: What kinda crappy parent are you if your baby gets swept away by a river?
	8:49pm pTristan: what da heck does Pau Gasol sing and does Mark join in on harmony?
	8:49pm BH: "I never suspected my baby would fall off of Mount Satan..."
	🎸 ♥ 8:49pm ultradamno: Hard to say, there's cities named Hell so it being an official name isn't out of the question.
	♥ 8:49pm Matt Fiveash: Where's Gaylord? He'd be able to help contribute to this sudden burst of sports/Music crossover fandom
	♥ 8:50pm Mr. Fine Wine: The mascot of French Lick, Indiana, is the devil.
	♥ 8:50pm PigeonsAndRust: Apparently there's a Devil's River in Texas (where else?)
	8:50pm JakeGould: @Matt: Probably taking one of his luxuriating baths he is wont to do.
	🎸 ♥ 8:50pm ultradamno: Home of the pluto water, so it's appropriate.
	♥ 8:50pm Handy Haversack: Clearly one who didn't Devil-proof the house, Jake. Do FMU DJs ever talk about what their walk-up songs would be if they were MLB players? Because it comes up a LOT on my softball team.
	8:51pm Becky: I have a suspicion Collay is of Louisianan descent.
	♥ 8:51pm Bootsie: @Becky nice enunciation ;-)
	8:52pm Becky: that was for you bootsie
	🎸 ♥ 8:52pm ultradamno: Speaking of which www.tripadvisor.com...
	8:52pm JakeGould: Rents? Down? NYC? Hahahah! Seriously, this city is a dead zone in some parts.
	♥ 8:52pm Matt Fiveash: Mr FW: Larry Bird is the devil?
	8:53pm Becky: @Jake I have heard of buildings where this is true!! And I imagine in the fall when kids don't come to NYC for college there will be an impact..
	♥ 8:54pm Mr. Fine Wine: Well, yes, MF. But also I just know that when my parents and I vacationed there in the early '70s I ended up with a stuffed-animal Satan.
	♥ 8:54pm Uncle Michael: Handy, I'd walk up to the Sanford & Son theme.
	♥ 8:54pm Handy Haversack: Oooo, nice one, UM.
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm ultradamno: Another French Lick pluto water devil digital.library.in.gov...
	♥ 8:55pm Mr. Fine Wine: Rockford Files theme.
	8:55pm JakeGould: @Becky: I work for a major university in NYC and that is all the talk is about… The Fall of 2020 and what will that be like. Registration is normal if not a bit higher than previous falls… But what if people are just accepting, decide they don’t want to come to NYC in the middle of a pandemic and just sacrifice their deposits?
	♥ 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Oh, damn -- time flies when you're losing at poker and loving the show! Thanks, Becky! Thanks, Skeleton Scott! Nice hanging out, Tonks!
	8:56pm Richard S: I'd walk to the Get Smart theme anytime....
	🎸 ♥ 8:56pm ultradamno: Apparently the devil wore boxer briefs in 1910
	♥ 8:56pm Little Danny: Great show Becky, thanks!
	8:56pm Becky: @Jake plus foreign students may not be able to get visas!
	♥ 8:56pm PigeonsAndRust: "Have Gun Will Travel" theme.
	8:56pm Richard S: Hope to tune in next week! Until then, stay sane and healthy!
	8:57pm JakeGould: @Becky: Yeah, that too.
	♥ 8:57pm listener 126464: Thank you Becky!
	♥ 8:57pm Handy Haversack: "Sick Bed of Cuchchulainn"!
	♥ 8:58pm PigeonsAndRust: ...the stopwatch from Sixty Minutes. Ah well. Thanks Becky fer a great show!
	♥ 8:59pm radioronan: Looking forward to the D-List. Thanks Becky! Thanks Skeleton Crew!
	♥ 8:59pm McGroovey: Great show tonight, Becky!
	9:00pm P-90: Thanks, Becky!
	♥ 9:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Fantastic show, Becky! Thanks!
