Listener comments!
	12:06am Greg Mottola: Question for Ira: Can I become a licensed massage therapist at Back School?
	12:07am opurt: Good evening from the overly-hot west coast.
	12:15am Jedley: Watching AOC break down party politics to 25000 youngsters on Instagram live is an amazing antidote to cynicism but a relatively poor aural companion to the Ira the K program. Hi everyone!
	12:16am Ira: Didn't get to pay any attention to the convention tonight, but Michelle Obama took care of that for me last night. So inspiring!
	12:17am Chop Scott: Thanks for being here Ira.
	12:18am Ira: It's a pleasure, as always.
	12:21am Bob: Jerry!
	12:22am Ira: @Bob: That's where I heard this song first!
	12:22am Hoboken Jack: Hello bobby soxers and sobbing boxers!
	12:23am gregory g: wonderful set Ira and thank you for the introduction to The Conqueroo!
	12:23am BH: I suspect night 2 was sort of a slight lull compared to the other 3 nights. Unless you loved the roll call videos from the states/territories
	12:24am DktrFaustus: Ahoy!
	12:24am Somm Ben: Yar matey
	12:24am DktrFaustus: Yaarr!
	12:32am gregory g: As a NYS certified ENL teacher I can attest that Regents are unfortunately still given a whole lot of weight . Students can't graduate without passing a bunch. Problematic .
	12:33am Ira: Are Regents a New York thing, or are they inflicted all over the country?
	12:34am Mike W: rip Regent Philbin
	12:36am Mike W: So glad to have this show to counter my sagging mid-week spirits
	12:36am Somm Ben: I don't remember Regents going to school in New Jersey.
	12:36am BH: From being in the midwest, the one NY educational thing I remember is that the birthday cutoff is a bit different (which I only found out about through the assorted student or two who ended up starting school in NY and moving to the midwest) For whatever reason, it's still a struggle to get the stream to come up on TuneIn/etc
	12:36am Hoboken Jack: Enjoyed that Prine track a lot even though it was threatening to become Pancho and Lefty at any moment.
	12:37am gregory g: A New York thing ( from New York Board of Regents) but I believe other states have their own standardized tests required for graduation
	12:37am Jedley: Yeah each state had its own special way of torturing children with Scan-tron
	12:39am Jedley: They need to update this album to include the new style of propulsion: news.mit.edu...
	12:43am Ira: Does Newton's law of motion STILL apply?
	12:48am Mike W: I’m so over Newton
	12:58am Jedley: Newton is over if you want it. Check out the article all, pretty mindblowing stuff
	12:59am Rick G: White Shadow? I miss Coolidge and Salami and the gang!
	12:59am Somm Ben: Just went on a Wikipedia deep dive on Cosmic Rays, whoa...
	1:00am Dungaroos Kipawah: Coolidge! Salami! Thorpe!! Where y’at?!
	1:04am Mike W: I also liked the White Shadow program
	1:04am John L: Thorpe and Salami have pretty good careers directing some good episodic TV. Not sure what happened to Coolidge after he went on to St. Elsewhere.
	1:06am Ira: And Nathan Cook was an excellent $20,000 Pyramid player.
	1:07am Timo: So used to hearing Watt do this BOC.
	1:14am Jedley: Gosh the studio really changed the story from the book to the song...
	1:15am Ira: I know! Hollywood gets all the blame for tampering with artists' work, but really Kingston is no different.
	1:15am Mike W: Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but as inflation surged in the 1970s I feel like I remember it being $35,000 Pyramid for like a week
	1:18am Ira: That might have been the week you were in Australia. Exchange rate.
	1:23am Mike W: late night radiooooooo
	1:25am sam pocker: "after failing to buy a sandwich on credit from a local blue-collar delicatessen, he walks to Hawthorne Municipal Airport, steals a small Cessna 210 aircraft and flies into the desert" ... I feel like this is kind of normal now.
	1:26am Hoboken Jack: Hi Sam Pocker
	1:27am sam pocker: Hi Labor Day Weekend Jack
	1:27am rw: Singing along here. Not sure if you can hear me.
	1:29am Hoboken Jack: You must be referring to my vocal sample on the EDM smash "Labor Day Weekend Miami."
	1:30am Jedley:
	1:30am sam pocker: I hope he interviews Mr. Weatherbee in the next hour.
	1:32am Hoboken Jack: "I don't want to put words in your mouth." Ira for the win!
	1:33am Jedley: Here for this insightful content in podcast form
	1:35am Mike W: gutsy interview imo
	1:55am Ajay: Morning Ira. Loving the show. Punk rock changed my life too!
	1:55am Somm Ben: Hell yeah on the Minutemen
	1:56am Timo: Fuckin corndogs
	1:57am Timo: Scientist rock
	2:04am rw: That’s Gaylord?
	2:04am Jedley: Gaylord makes me wanna skip 8th period and smoke behind the gym
	2:11am DL in LA: Yay for Pat + Ornette!
	2:21am Timo: Ira, you're missing Julie Christie on TCM.
	2:22am Ira: I probably shouldn't ask this question, but . . . what movie?
	2:24am Mark G: Is the Tom Lehrer part going to be on the test???
	2:26am Ira: If so, be glad I didn't play The Elements.
	2:27am Timo: Julie as Mrs. Miller
	2:30am mariano: Hey I'm here, just working ;)
	2:31am Somm Ben: No recess?
	2:36am Ira: I'm afraid recess was cancelled to make way for the interview w/Miss Othmar.
	2:39am Somm Ben: Acceptable
	2:46am Mark G: Thankfully McCabe's double whiskey and raw egg concoction has not found it's way back via the old-timey cocktail resurgence
	2:49am Jedley: Maybe people just had to take a break from the show to consult with their counsel about their implication after your run-in with the fuzz on last week's show
	2:50am Somm Ben: @Mark G - bet that cocktail would would if you threw some citrus and sugar in with the egg and whiskey. Shake strongly.
	2:51am Mike tp: Staples begin to moan
	2:51am Somm Ben: O.G. Whiskey sour
	2:51am Ira: Having dabbled in that cocktail (not a long story, but nevertheless not telling it), I agree it's worth missing.
	2:55am Timo: Mrs. M smokin an old timey ceegar makes me want to dabble in the evil weed, tabacky.
	2:57am Timo: Another nice version of Wild Mountain Thyme by White Antelope.
	3:00am harktheumpire: Was that a bass vi solo just now?
	3:00am Somm Ben: Thanks for the set, Ira
	3:01am Ira: Sorry, I wasn't listening. End of the show!
