	11:15am Chud: And here I thought Aphex Twin was guest-hosting
	♥ 11:15am jpuva: Mike, the music is sounding fine, but when you speak it is coming over totally garbled.
	♥ 11:15am Listener Baby: Let us know you are okay, Baby. Did someone break in, and take over?
	♥ 11:16am Pedro in Arlington: The good news is the new mouse doesn't click.
	11:16am nutley lee: couldn't understand anything in last mike break, something very wrong!! music all fab
	11:16am Listener Robert: Today I feel like turning on a local oscillator to reconstitute your single sideband at the mic breaks -- but then I remember, this is FM!
	♥ 11:16am Frank In Queens: I thought my DAC was giving me issues!
	11:16am Sid: If someone hijacked the show, they have great taste.
	11:17am George F.: I'm listening via the app and that mic break was broken for me too
	♥ 11:17am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Greetings, Michael and fellow mutants! (and everyone else)
	11:17am prudy: awesome cover...hope to see los straitjackets soon...
	♥ 11:17am listener 126464: it wasn't Carmen from South Park?
	♥ 11:17am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Are we experiencing a robot takeover?
	11:18am Listener Robert: It doesn't really sound that much like SSB, more like a torn speaker cone would.
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Hey, GST! So nice to see you!

	♥ 11:19am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Hey, Handy, great to see you, too!

	11:23am paul: All Men Are Liars by Los Straitjackets
	11:23am Joe B: hey Michael and everyone
	11:23am clarke: james W - YOU WERE TOTALLY RIGHT!! EC's new album is GREAT!!
	11:24am clarke: you called the news dept
	♥ 11:26am Gaylord Fields: I don’t think Jim Ford is singing about pralines.
	11:29am Dennis Diken: Go Mikey!
	♥ 11:30am Squints In Plymouth: Strong with the Tony Joe White force, this one is.
	♥ 11:30am Frank In Queens: Does that mean you made the muffins this weekend?
	11:31am clarke: gas is much cheaper in da souf!!
	11:32am Farmer Rye in Santa Cruz: hey everyone
	♥ 11:32am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Gaylord, Ace, Frank, Handy, 126464, Uncle, Baby, everybody everybody!
	♥ 11:32am Hoboken Jack: Dennis!
	♥ 11:33am Listener Baby: Hi Jack!
	11:33am adam: my mother loved when Chauncey Howell spoke Yiddish
	♥ 11:33am Frank In Queens: Hi Jack!
	11:33am clarke: this one in my all-time 10
	♥ 11:34am Your Ace From Exchange Place: Hiya Jack!
	11:34am God: hello it's me!
	♥ 11:34am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Nice to see you! Oof, we are having a rough Saturday over here. Nice to have a place with friends to fall back on.
	♥ 11:34am Uncle Michael: The thing that saves this song, after the horrific "stupid/fun" couplet, is the protagonist admitting that he has no woman, either.
	11:34am clarke: hunt & tony sales supposedly on this - but, methinks this one is all Todd
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: Yeah, it's a bit of an O Henry ending.
	♥ 11:35am Listener Baby: And hello Joe B!! I've become a huge fan. A long time coming, but Three Chord Monte is a giant part of my life.
	♥ 11:35am Gaylord Fields: @UM: A rare song that ends with a punchline (see also: Chuck Berry’s “Memphis”)
	11:36am clarke: or Dear Dad by chuck
	♥ 11:36am Listener Baby: Good morning to the great Gaylord.
	11:36am JakeGould: Hello Michael! Oh wow! Chauncey Howell! There’s this Twitter thread about boring celebrity encounters and he’s one of them for me: I was a teen in the 1980s, walking down the boardwalk and listening to some tape on my Sanyo walkman knock off and I see the one and only Chauncy Howell, walking out of a public beach restroom on the beach around Coney Island Avenue and the boardwalk. Struggling to walk in the sand, and adjusting himself after doing his business.
	♥ 11:36am Hoboken Jack: Baby, welcome to the Monte Mob (not a thing)! Hello Joe!!
	♥ 11:37am listener 126464: Hi Jack!
	♥ 11:37am Hughie Considine: @Jake, sweet Chauncey sighting. Indeed he was a real New Yorker. I'd see him around often.
	11:37am Farmer Rye in Santa Cruz: i wonder if this is before or after paul died ?!
	♥ 11:38am myron feld: Definitely Bernard Purdie on drums.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: "Deface the Music" is a great companion piece to The Rutles.
	11:39am clarke: i can agree with that, only because The Rutles are GREAT!!
	11:39am Sid: Saw the Deface The Music tour. Faithful performances (no pun intended).
	♥ 11:39am Uncle Michael: In the kitchen this morning. I just made rib rub for tomorrow, white sauce for tonight's halal cart chicken...and next, the marinade for the chicken.
	11:39am scott: You should check out the Todd/Utopia "covers" on side 2 of the 'Faithful' album.
	♥ 11:39am Squints In Plymouth: "Love me do (man)."
	11:40am JakeGould: Here he is with Sue Simmons. media.gettyimages.com...
	♥ 11:41am myron feld: Anyone seen the new Juniper video? I have and it's pretty ephing great: bigtakeover.com...
	♥ 11:41am Listener Baby: Agree Myron. Check it out!!
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: Sue Simmons provided one of the great hot-mic moments before they became commonplace.
	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: @Scott, yes. Amazing version of "Rain" especially.
	11:42am JakeGould: Yup! youtu.be...
	♥ 11:43am Handy Haversack: OK. Gotta go to the pharmacy. What a day.
	11:43am clarke: i never could make it through all of Breakfast Club
	♥ 11:43am Hughie Considine: Oh man, thanks Jake. She was PISSSED!
	♥ 11:44am Hughie Considine: @Clarke, that's too bad. When they all get naked at the end was my favorite part.
	♥ 11:44am Gaylord Fields: Baby!
	11:44am clarke: and then the wedding scene after
	11:45am Rick A.: Junior Brown used to play City Winery very often. His invented half steel guitar and regular guitar is called "guit steel". He had a regular gig at a club called The Continental in Austin on Sunday nights. He is great live. However, as Michael says, he tends to play the same songs the same way at each show. They are great songs. So it works.
	♥ 11:46am Hughie Considine: Pretty hard to do the spoken word thing in pop music. The Blue Aeroplanes attempted it.
	11:46am JakeGould: @Hughie: She really hated that boat.
	♥ 11:46am Michael Shelley: Hi ALL
	11:47am clarke: and they came and they came and they came
	♥ 11:47am Squints In Plymouth: When does he get to the part about their being no flying cars?
	♥ 11:47am Squints In Plymouth: There. D'oh.
	♥ 11:47am Gaylord Fields: Saw Junior Brown with Buddy Miles as his drummer once, which afforded an excuse for Junior to channel Hendrix on his guit-steel!
	11:48am paul: When/why did they add LTD to their name?
	♥ 11:49am Michael Shelley: The Checkmates Jr.
	♥ 11:49am Pedro in Arlington: I can't get "Sticking with my Henry" out of my head, great video, and my 18-year-old and I easily concede the title of coolest father-daughter combo out there.
	♥ 11:49am Gaylord Fields: Checkmates UK
	11:50am clarke: The Checkmates LLC
	11:50am Rick A.: Buddy Miles played on Brown's album "Long Walk BAck". That album ends with Hendrixian surf medley with some explosive guitar solos.
	♥ 11:51am Hubig Pie: Checkmates DBA
	11:52am clarke: crumpets, ooh la la!!
	11:52am JakeGould: The Checkmates and Sons
	11:52am clarke: Crumpets, Ltd
	♥ 11:52am Gaylord Fields: @paul: Discogs lists dozens of bands named Checkmates or with thatbword in their name. That’s your why.
	11:53am JakeGould: Crumpets and Stuff
	11:53am ?: @PedroinArlington Thank you so much!! You are too kind.
	11:53am paul: @Gaylord, thanks.
	♥ 11:53am Hoboken Jack: The Checkmate AKA
	11:54am Joe B: The Canadian Checkmates LTD
	♥ 11:54am spodiodi: twice the love, and half the money
	♥ 11:56am spodiodi: hi Michael Shelley,! hi everyone. good saturday on you
	11:57am JakeGould: The Checkmates U.K.
	11:57am clarke: they said i won!! them.
	12:00pm ?: van the man as a live front guy both a shoegazer and appeared to be mad at the audience?;>
	12:01pm Joe B: yeah Jack!
	♥ 12:01pm Hoboken Jack: Hey that me!
	12:01pm johnk77: ? is i and i
	♥ 12:01pm spodiodi: pic looks delicious, Michael
	♥ 12:02pm Hughie Considine: Well done, @HJ!
	12:02pm clarke: dang!! now i'm hungry!!
	12:02pm johnk77: very good show and very good food styling
	12:03pm JakeGould: Enjoy that sandwich.
	♥ 12:04pm listener 126464: please pass the homemade burger buns
	12:04pm Jett: I'll stick with real thing! I love Beef!
	♥ 12:05pm Hubig Pie: That hamburger sandwich needs a french fry garniture
	♥ 12:05pm Hughie Considine: Recalls the fadeout of Ray Charles's "Them That Got" -- "I need a hamburger -- a hot dog woudn't be too bad..."
	12:05pm Listener Robert: I find it a lot easier to make pizza. Somehow when I pile up the dough thick enough to make a roll or loaf, the baking results aren't as good.
	12:05pm paul: Like Amos & Andy, but not funny.
	♥ 12:06pm Hoboken Jack: I had my first ever beyond burger this week (never let it be said that I pass up free food) and it was... ok. I won't rush to have another but, if meat vanishes, I'm glad to know that chemical concoction is out there.
	♥ 12:06pm WoodsOfNH: The veggie burgers made by The Herbivorous Butcher are also pretty good. Actually, everything we've ever bought from them has been pretty good.
	♥ 12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you HC!
	♥ 12:07pm Frank In Queens: Tempeh tacos here in Queens tonight.
	♥ 12:07pm myron feld: I'm old enough to remember White Castle burgers @ $.08 each.
	♥ 12:08pm Michael Shelley: I remember when gas was 49 cents or so
	12:08pm Baby: English band Baby. Think they are big in Germany
	♥ 12:08pm Hoboken Jack: The Mergers sound like they've been working in a coalmine.
	♥ 12:09pm Hubig Pie: Gonna try my hand at homemade pita to go with tomorrow's kofta meshweya
	12:10pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Michael, same here not a big meat consumer. Beyond Burger are awesome, worth the extra occational $! Gardein brand are decent too.
	♥ 12:12pm WoodsOfNH: I've been down to just the occasional piece of fish for about a dozen years. Actually, that's turned into mostly shellfish. Having oysters tonight. I hope I don't stab myself.
	♥ 12:13pm spodiodi: good luck, woods
	♥ 12:14pm Gaylord Fields: I rate Impossible Burger as my favorite. Beyond will do, and Lighthouse is a step down from that but still OK.
	♥ 12:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Ha ha! An old college pal of my sweetie was one of the main scientists developing the Impossible Burger. Fascinating project. (i haven't tried it yet)
	♥ 12:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): (the college was CalTech, BTW)
	12:17pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Gaylord! Seen the the Impossible Burger, will give it try.
	♥ 12:18pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): another engaging and entertaining interview! yay!
	12:21pm johnk77: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/29/arts/music/bobby-digital-dixon-dead.html obit for ja producer produced dem bow for shabba ranks riddim used heavily for much reggaeton & recent pop
	♥ 12:22pm Gaylord Fields: Ochre Ogre: It’s been available in stores only relatively recently as compared to the others. To my palate, it lives in the uncanny valley of fake meat.
	♥ 12:25pm Michael Shelley: @Gaylord - where do you get the Impossible retail?
	♥ 12:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hey everyone sorry I’m late
	12:32pm Ochre Ogre: Gaylord- Ah okay, now I'm really curious. Was a vegetarian for 10 yrs except fish. I broke with a mad craving for a cheeseburger, with cheddar. Never American cheese, might as well eat yellow vinyl!
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: I'm old school veg, so Amy's California Burgers are still my fave. But I do enjoy the new generation of burgers too, with Beyond being my preference. Beyond Sausage was on sale this week, so we picked up a package of those even though Field Roast and Tofurkey are our preference.
	♥ 12:34pm Handy Haversack: Hey, everyone, back in action. Hey, SC Lizzie, spodiodi. We had Beyond Sausage in my "sausage" and peppers with broccoli rabe this week. Good stuff!
	♥ 12:35pm Michael Shelley: Milton Berle - no comment
	♥ 12:37pm Handy Haversack: We use Field Roast as a staple. Most of our dishes have one kind or another in it. I sure wish they weren't individually wrapped in plastic, though.
	♥ 12:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael: They’re not too widely distributed, but you can find them at Fairway. Evidently, Wegmans also carries them.
	♥ 12:39pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: Field Roast wins for its frankfurters, though the plastic casings are a bit of a hassle.
	12:40pm Ochre Ogre: @Handy You struck a nerve, one of my faves with Orecchiette, garlic and olive oil.
	♥ 12:42pm spodiodi: Handy -- we relied on that as a staple for years in much the same way -- put a little in everything
	12:42pm mike east: Recently tried “no evil” “sausage and it wins over the field roast because my 4 yr old will eat it
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: @OO: Which? Broc. rabe? We love it. I just use a ton of garlic, a good bit of crushed red pepper, a little black pepper, a little salt and kind of steam it in the olive oil. Man, I come here for the number-one hits, but I stay for the vegetarian chit-chat! You all rock!
	♥ 12:44pm spodiodi: now, we eat way less processed stuff (field roast needs NO SALT) 8/
	12:44pm Doug in JC: We’re not high budget. We’re not low budget. We’re something new
	12:45pm Ochre Ogre: Gaylord, True that. Field Roast Mexican Chipotle for some spice are the bomb!
	♥ 12:46pm Gaylord Fields: As terrible as the world is these days, we do live in the Golden Age of Fake Meat.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Truth, Gaylord.
	♥ 12:48pm Brian C.: I feel a little guilty because I had bacon this morning, but dang! it was tasty
	♥ 12:50pm Gaylord Fields: To change the subject (to the radio show), Sonny’s Checkmate bandmate the late Sweet Louie was a regular judge on The Gong Show.
	♥ 12:50pm spodiodi: The Gong Show <3
	♥ 12:51pm Michael Shelley: Had SOYRIZO brand soy chorizo burritos this week - potato,cheese, sour cream, soyrizo. Excellent!
	12:51pm Ochre Ogre: @Handy Yes, I will often use some fresh sage, sausage and sage are in love, "l-u-v"... NY Dolls.
	♥ 12:52pm Frank In Queens: @gaylord: The Golden Age of Non-Dairy Cheese as well. To me, the breakthroughs made on that front are way bigger than on the fake meat front.
	♥ 12:52pm Handy Haversack: What do you recommend, Frank?
	♥ 12:53pm Michael Shelley: GAYLORD good find! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:55pm spodiodi: i emceed a Battle of the Bands in college as Chuck Barris :-B
	12:55pm Joe B: great as always Michael, thanks
	♥ 12:55pm spodiodi: nice interview, Michael & Sonny Charles
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Only caught the second half of the interview, but another stellar talk, Michael. What a service you provide. Thanks.
	♥ 12:56pm spodiodi: thank you!
	12:56pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm johnk77: great work skywalker ranch located marin county california usa
	12:57pm Ross T.: Your interviews are always a great treat -- this guy was humble and grounded. Nice to listen.
	♥ 12:58pm Richard: Super interesting interview. Great details about a varied career.
	♥ 12:58pm Frank In Queens: @Handy: Chao is very good along with Violife. Follow Your Heart and Daiya as well. They've all stepped up there game within the last decade.
	♥ 12:58pm Gaylord Fields: @Frank: Even five years ago, non-dairy cheese was a big step down. Even though I'm technically not vegan, I now incorporate non-dairy cheeses in my diet as much as the dairy stuff.
	12:59pm Joe B: damn, gong show connection. didn't see that coming
	♥ 12:59pm McGroovey: Leif is totally into this.
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: @Gaylord, it really is astounding!
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: Another fantastic show Michael! Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!
	1:01pm Ross T.: Rocky Pamplin!
	1:01pm Ochre Ogre: Gaylord, hear ya tomorrow
	♥ 1:02pm Michael Shelley: THANKS ALL!

	♥ 11:34am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Nice to see you! Oof, we are having a rough Saturday over here. Nice to have a place with friends to fall back on.
	♥ 11:34am Uncle Michael: The thing that saves this song, after the horrific "stupid/fun" couplet, is the protagonist admitting that he has no woman, either.
	11:34am clarke: hunt & tony sales supposedly on this - but, methinks this one is all Todd
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: Yeah, it's a bit of an O Henry ending.
	♥ 11:35am Listener Baby: And hello Joe B!! I've become a huge fan. A long time coming, but Three Chord Monte is a giant part of my life.
	♥ 11:35am Gaylord Fields: @UM: A rare song that ends with a punchline (see also: Chuck Berry’s “Memphis”)
	11:36am clarke: or Dear Dad by chuck
	♥ 11:36am Listener Baby: Good morning to the great Gaylord.
	11:36am JakeGould: Hello Michael! Oh wow! Chauncey Howell! There’s this Twitter thread about boring celebrity encounters and he’s one of them for me: I was a teen in the 1980s, walking down the boardwalk and listening to some tape on my Sanyo walkman knock off and I see the one and only Chauncy Howell, walking out of a public beach restroom on the beach around Coney Island Avenue and the boardwalk. Struggling to walk in the sand, and adjusting himself after doing his business.
	♥ 11:36am Hoboken Jack: Baby, welcome to the Monte Mob (not a thing)! Hello Joe!!
	♥ 11:37am listener 126464: Hi Jack!
	♥ 11:37am Hughie Considine: @Jake, sweet Chauncey sighting. Indeed he was a real New Yorker. I'd see him around often.
	11:37am Farmer Rye in Santa Cruz: i wonder if this is before or after paul died ?!
	♥ 11:38am myron feld: Definitely Bernard Purdie on drums.
	♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: "Deface the Music" is a great companion piece to The Rutles.
	11:39am clarke: i can agree with that, only because The Rutles are GREAT!!
	11:39am Sid: Saw the Deface The Music tour. Faithful performances (no pun intended).
	♥ 11:39am Uncle Michael: In the kitchen this morning. I just made rib rub for tomorrow, white sauce for tonight's halal cart chicken...and next, the marinade for the chicken.
	11:39am scott: You should check out the Todd/Utopia "covers" on side 2 of the 'Faithful' album.
	♥ 11:39am Squints In Plymouth: "Love me do (man)."
	11:40am JakeGould: Here he is with Sue Simmons. media.gettyimages.com...
	♥ 11:41am myron feld: Anyone seen the new Juniper video? I have and it's pretty ephing great: bigtakeover.com...
	♥ 11:41am Listener Baby: Agree Myron. Check it out!!
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: Sue Simmons provided one of the great hot-mic moments before they became commonplace.
	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: @Scott, yes. Amazing version of "Rain" especially.
	11:42am JakeGould: Yup! youtu.be...
	♥ 11:43am Handy Haversack: OK. Gotta go to the pharmacy. What a day.
	11:43am clarke: i never could make it through all of Breakfast Club
	♥ 11:43am Hughie Considine: Oh man, thanks Jake. She was PISSSED!
	♥ 11:44am Hughie Considine: @Clarke, that's too bad. When they all get naked at the end was my favorite part.
	♥ 11:44am Gaylord Fields: Baby!
	11:44am clarke: and then the wedding scene after
	11:45am Rick A.: Junior Brown used to play City Winery very often. His invented half steel guitar and regular guitar is called "guit steel". He had a regular gig at a club called The Continental in Austin on Sunday nights. He is great live. However, as Michael says, he tends to play the same songs the same way at each show. They are great songs. So it works.
	♥ 11:46am Hughie Considine: Pretty hard to do the spoken word thing in pop music. The Blue Aeroplanes attempted it.
	11:46am JakeGould: @Hughie: She really hated that boat.
	♥ 11:46am Michael Shelley: Hi ALL
	11:47am clarke: and they came and they came and they came
	♥ 11:47am Squints In Plymouth: When does he get to the part about their being no flying cars?
	♥ 11:47am Squints In Plymouth: There. D'oh.
	♥ 11:47am Gaylord Fields: Saw Junior Brown with Buddy Miles as his drummer once, which afforded an excuse for Junior to channel Hendrix on his guit-steel!
	11:48am paul: When/why did they add LTD to their name?
	♥ 11:49am Michael Shelley: The Checkmates Jr.
	♥ 11:49am Pedro in Arlington: I can't get "Sticking with my Henry" out of my head, great video, and my 18-year-old and I easily concede the title of coolest father-daughter combo out there.
	♥ 11:49am Gaylord Fields: Checkmates UK
	11:50am clarke: The Checkmates LLC
	11:50am Rick A.: Buddy Miles played on Brown's album "Long Walk BAck". That album ends with Hendrixian surf medley with some explosive guitar solos.
	♥ 11:51am Hubig Pie: Checkmates DBA
	11:52am clarke: crumpets, ooh la la!!
	11:52am JakeGould: The Checkmates and Sons
	11:52am clarke: Crumpets, Ltd
	♥ 11:52am Gaylord Fields: @paul: Discogs lists dozens of bands named Checkmates or with thatbword in their name. That’s your why.
	11:53am JakeGould: Crumpets and Stuff
	11:53am ?: @PedroinArlington Thank you so much!! You are too kind.
	11:53am paul: @Gaylord, thanks.
	♥ 11:53am Hoboken Jack: The Checkmate AKA
	11:54am Joe B: The Canadian Checkmates LTD
	♥ 11:54am spodiodi: twice the love, and half the money
	♥ 11:56am spodiodi: hi Michael Shelley,! hi everyone. good saturday on you
	11:57am JakeGould: The Checkmates U.K.
	11:57am clarke: they said i won!! them.
	12:00pm ?: van the man as a live front guy both a shoegazer and appeared to be mad at the audience?;>
	12:01pm Joe B: yeah Jack!
	♥ 12:01pm Hoboken Jack: Hey that me!
	12:01pm johnk77: ? is i and i
	♥ 12:01pm spodiodi: pic looks delicious, Michael
	♥ 12:02pm Hughie Considine: Well done, @HJ!
	12:02pm clarke: dang!! now i'm hungry!!
	12:02pm johnk77: very good show and very good food styling
	12:03pm JakeGould: Enjoy that sandwich.
	♥ 12:04pm listener 126464: please pass the homemade burger buns
	12:04pm Jett: I'll stick with real thing! I love Beef!
	♥ 12:05pm Hubig Pie: That hamburger sandwich needs a french fry garniture
	♥ 12:05pm Hughie Considine: Recalls the fadeout of Ray Charles's "Them That Got" -- "I need a hamburger -- a hot dog woudn't be too bad..."
	12:05pm Listener Robert: I find it a lot easier to make pizza. Somehow when I pile up the dough thick enough to make a roll or loaf, the baking results aren't as good.
	12:05pm paul: Like Amos & Andy, but not funny.
	♥ 12:06pm Hoboken Jack: I had my first ever beyond burger this week (never let it be said that I pass up free food) and it was... ok. I won't rush to have another but, if meat vanishes, I'm glad to know that chemical concoction is out there.
	♥ 12:06pm WoodsOfNH: The veggie burgers made by The Herbivorous Butcher are also pretty good. Actually, everything we've ever bought from them has been pretty good.
	♥ 12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you HC!
	♥ 12:07pm Frank In Queens: Tempeh tacos here in Queens tonight.
	♥ 12:07pm myron feld: I'm old enough to remember White Castle burgers @ $.08 each.
	♥ 12:08pm Michael Shelley: I remember when gas was 49 cents or so
	12:08pm Baby: English band Baby. Think they are big in Germany
	♥ 12:08pm Hoboken Jack: The Mergers sound like they've been working in a coalmine.
	♥ 12:09pm Hubig Pie: Gonna try my hand at homemade pita to go with tomorrow's kofta meshweya
	12:10pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Michael, same here not a big meat consumer. Beyond Burger are awesome, worth the extra occational $! Gardein brand are decent too.
	♥ 12:12pm WoodsOfNH: I've been down to just the occasional piece of fish for about a dozen years. Actually, that's turned into mostly shellfish. Having oysters tonight. I hope I don't stab myself.
	♥ 12:13pm spodiodi: good luck, woods
	♥ 12:14pm Gaylord Fields: I rate Impossible Burger as my favorite. Beyond will do, and Lighthouse is a step down from that but still OK.
	♥ 12:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Ha ha! An old college pal of my sweetie was one of the main scientists developing the Impossible Burger. Fascinating project. (i haven't tried it yet)
	♥ 12:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): (the college was CalTech, BTW)
	12:17pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Gaylord! Seen the the Impossible Burger, will give it try.
	♥ 12:18pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): another engaging and entertaining interview! yay!
	12:21pm johnk77: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/29/arts/music/bobby-digital-dixon-dead.html obit for ja producer produced dem bow for shabba ranks riddim used heavily for much reggaeton & recent pop
	♥ 12:22pm Gaylord Fields: Ochre Ogre: It’s been available in stores only relatively recently as compared to the others. To my palate, it lives in the uncanny valley of fake meat.
	♥ 12:25pm Michael Shelley: @Gaylord - where do you get the Impossible retail?
	♥ 12:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hey everyone sorry I’m late
	12:32pm Ochre Ogre: Gaylord- Ah okay, now I'm really curious. Was a vegetarian for 10 yrs except fish. I broke with a mad craving for a cheeseburger, with cheddar. Never American cheese, might as well eat yellow vinyl!
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: I'm old school veg, so Amy's California Burgers are still my fave. But I do enjoy the new generation of burgers too, with Beyond being my preference. Beyond Sausage was on sale this week, so we picked up a package of those even though Field Roast and Tofurkey are our preference.
	♥ 12:34pm Handy Haversack: Hey, everyone, back in action. Hey, SC Lizzie, spodiodi. We had Beyond Sausage in my "sausage" and peppers with broccoli rabe this week. Good stuff!
	♥ 12:35pm Michael Shelley: Milton Berle - no comment
	♥ 12:37pm Handy Haversack: We use Field Roast as a staple. Most of our dishes have one kind or another in it. I sure wish they weren't individually wrapped in plastic, though.
	♥ 12:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael: They’re not too widely distributed, but you can find them at Fairway. Evidently, Wegmans also carries them.
	♥ 12:39pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: Field Roast wins for its frankfurters, though the plastic casings are a bit of a hassle.
	12:40pm Ochre Ogre: @Handy You struck a nerve, one of my faves with Orecchiette, garlic and olive oil.
	♥ 12:42pm spodiodi: Handy -- we relied on that as a staple for years in much the same way -- put a little in everything
	12:42pm mike east: Recently tried “no evil” “sausage and it wins over the field roast because my 4 yr old will eat it
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: @OO: Which? Broc. rabe? We love it. I just use a ton of garlic, a good bit of crushed red pepper, a little black pepper, a little salt and kind of steam it in the olive oil. Man, I come here for the number-one hits, but I stay for the vegetarian chit-chat! You all rock!
	♥ 12:44pm spodiodi: now, we eat way less processed stuff (field roast needs NO SALT) 8/
	12:44pm Doug in JC: We’re not high budget. We’re not low budget. We’re something new
	12:45pm Ochre Ogre: Gaylord, True that. Field Roast Mexican Chipotle for some spice are the bomb!
	♥ 12:46pm Gaylord Fields: As terrible as the world is these days, we do live in the Golden Age of Fake Meat.
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Truth, Gaylord.
	♥ 12:48pm Brian C.: I feel a little guilty because I had bacon this morning, but dang! it was tasty
	♥ 12:50pm Gaylord Fields: To change the subject (to the radio show), Sonny’s Checkmate bandmate the late Sweet Louie was a regular judge on The Gong Show.
	♥ 12:50pm spodiodi: The Gong Show <3
	♥ 12:51pm Michael Shelley: Had SOYRIZO brand soy chorizo burritos this week - potato,cheese, sour cream, soyrizo. Excellent!
	12:51pm Ochre Ogre: @Handy Yes, I will often use some fresh sage, sausage and sage are in love, "l-u-v"... NY Dolls.
	♥ 12:52pm Frank In Queens: @gaylord: The Golden Age of Non-Dairy Cheese as well. To me, the breakthroughs made on that front are way bigger than on the fake meat front.
	♥ 12:52pm Handy Haversack: What do you recommend, Frank?
	♥ 12:53pm Michael Shelley: GAYLORD good find! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:55pm spodiodi: i emceed a Battle of the Bands in college as Chuck Barris :-B
	12:55pm Joe B: great as always Michael, thanks
	♥ 12:55pm spodiodi: nice interview, Michael & Sonny Charles
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Only caught the second half of the interview, but another stellar talk, Michael. What a service you provide. Thanks.
	♥ 12:56pm spodiodi: thank you!
	12:56pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm johnk77: great work skywalker ranch located marin county california usa
	12:57pm Ross T.: Your interviews are always a great treat -- this guy was humble and grounded. Nice to listen.
	♥ 12:58pm Richard: Super interesting interview. Great details about a varied career.
	♥ 12:58pm Frank In Queens: @Handy: Chao is very good along with Violife. Follow Your Heart and Daiya as well. They've all stepped up there game within the last decade.
	♥ 12:58pm Gaylord Fields: @Frank: Even five years ago, non-dairy cheese was a big step down. Even though I'm technically not vegan, I now incorporate non-dairy cheeses in my diet as much as the dairy stuff.
	12:59pm Joe B: damn, gong show connection. didn't see that coming
	♥ 12:59pm McGroovey: Leif is totally into this.
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: @Gaylord, it really is astounding!
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: Another fantastic show Michael! Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!
	1:01pm Ross T.: Rocky Pamplin!
