	12:05am Jed: A bit evocative of Pram!
	12:06am BH: it's been a rough year for Albert Brooks with Brooks Brothers filing for bankruptcy and all
	12:06am mariano: Ira, Scott, midniters.
	12:08am Ira: Only figured out at the last minute that today (July 22) is Albert Brooks's birthday, so no Jacques drop-ins, I'm afraid. Please keep listening anyway.
	12:11am Chop Scott: I'm a happy listener--thanks for being on the air Ira!
	12:11am Jed: I'll play Defending Your Life over your whole set to add an extra layer of observance.
	12:13am Hoboken Jack: I'll make the requisite "you know his real name is Albert Einstein" and "you know his brother was Super Dave" comments. Passing the savings onto you fine people.
	12:16am Ira: Their scene together in Modern Romance is in my brain all the time. Take the box, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.
	12:19am Rich in Washington: The Gun Club summoned me. Hello everyone!
	12:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay ! Do not get enuff GunClubs.
	12:20am BH: not sure what it says about the 2018-19 seasons that the empty stadium exhibitions for my team weren't all that weird to watch today and yesterday (I'll consider Tuesday to be "today" until I go to sleep)
	12:22am Roberto: Ahoya Oyrah!
	12:22am Ira: As a long-time Mets fan, I've seen empty stadiums before. It's a better look than the fake crowd.
	12:22am sufferwords: North Valley represent JLP Rob Ritter peace
	12:23am BH: the fake noise wasn't too obvious in the games I was watching, so maybe their TV mix was just right, or they figured they didn't need to make it too loud when they scored a run while down 15-5
	12:24am Ira: Apologies in advance if I miscue a song. I've got something in my eye, and it's annoying and distracting.
	12:25am Ken From Hyde Park: A nice glass of Iriash whiskey for Albert Brooks! Hi, all!
	12:29am BH: I hear the people who are really mad about MLB players taking a knee have pledged to not attend any games this season. (I'm sure this joke was already made on Twitter)
	12:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Bluh, the gag is supposed to be "Iraish whiskey." Talk about bad eyes.
	12:30am Scott Williams: Cueing up "A Star is Bought" for later's Albert b'day tribute
	12:33am Hoboken Jack: No home is complete without an eye wash station. Hello Ira, Scott, Nate, HP Ken, all.
	12:36am Roberto: Yep, I realized all that last year upon Bob Einstein's passing. Mind = buh-lown.

	12:45am chaos_in_la_la: *28
	12:46am Roberto: He should have sued the other Albert Einstein to change his name.

	12:51am sufferwords: solid hat tip
	12:52am Mike W: late night radio
	12:54am Joe B: Greetings Ira and everyone
	12:55am Mike W: Those cardboard cutouts of baseball fans aren’t even looking at their phones
	12:55am Ira: Then they don't even look realistic.
	12:56am Joe B: assuming the ones at Dodger Stadium will leave in the seventh inning
	1:00am chaos_in_la_la: its only 9:59 has the seventh inning even happened yet? I haven't even spit my peanut shells on the seat in front of me yet
	1:04am Scott Williams: Thanks for the spin, Ira! I'm glad Darren's running a little late
	1:06am Mike W: exactly @Ira, I just find the whole thing a little hard to believe. Fans sitting attentively and quietly? I just don’t know if that’s ever been anyone’s experience. @Joe B they have to, they got there in the 3rd inning and the parking meter on their cardboard cutout of a car is about to run out
	1:06am sufferwords: Emmitt
	1:07am Ira: Emitt
	1:07am Mike W: Mr. Rhodes

	1:17am mariano: Wow Scott, I didn't know you were in Fairport Convention! ;) Ok, I might've read the set list wrong at first... Hello Abu Dhabi.
	1:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Actually know a fiddler played Irish Trad weekly @ the local pub back when that sort of thing happened in the Olden World had been in Fairport @ some point. Said they 'didn't know what to do with him' - so not illustrious apparently...
	1:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...received information - could be cutout news - but he's fairly accomplished & they made the circuit for decades...
	1:35am mariano: RevRabbit: I'm picturing him as the older horn player in The Commitments, the one with all the stories about playing with Sam Cooke, etc.
	1:35am Misha Sib: Greetings from Omsk, Russia to everybody in the world listening to this groovie radio
	1:35am sufferwords: Great set/ Vox Pop probably never made it out of LA - possibly frisco

	1:41am Misha Sib: @Ira ok, it's "Gorodki"
	1:44am Misha Sib: @Ira Actually it doesn't mean "small towns", gorodki is a Russian traditional game, something like bowling
	1:47am mariano: Interesting, Misha.
	1:53am Rich in Washington: Now I wanna make a T-bone steak.
	1:54am Rich in Washington: Hound Dog Taylor's Gimme Back My Wig would just dovetail, huh?
	1:55am Joe B: thought the T-Bones were gonna be next!

	2:11am Hubig Pie: Yessir I like this track
	2:14am Joe B: Concetta!
	2:16am Joe B: Wish she had made more records in this style. or even a second one.
