	1:13am $mall ¢hange: yeah not a massive sports guy but that was a bold and very good move. respect to the Bucks
	1:18am mom billie: hi jim, i'm listening, my kind of music

	1:24am slugluv1313: @ mariano -- cool, glad all is well -- but yeah, last i heard Texas/Louisiana border area getting hit the worst
	1:25am mom billie: we are all good and i will be listening.
	1:26am Mr. Pumpy: $mall ¢hange, let's fuck shit up with space noises!!!
	1:27am slugluv1313: thanks for playing those statements, $mall ¢hange -- just heard a bit about this earlier, not really into sports either, but i am grateful that they took a stand
	1:27am Mr. Pumpy: slug & mariano...how it goes?!
	1:27am slugluv1313: Mr. Pumpy! great to see you here, how the hell are you?
	1:29am BH: I'm guessing NBA twitter has had lots of very productive discussions with people who don't like LeBron for various reasons
	1:29am mariano: Hey Mr. Pumpy! How's tricks?
	1:32am Mr. Pumpy: Good...good. Doing my thing. Learning how to do dialysis at home for pops. Two weeks of classes started this past Monday. Crazy shit.
	1:32am Mr. Pumpy: How are you all?
	1:33am slugluv1313: @mariano -- did my fact-checking homework re: Germans in the DR, not colonization as far as i could find, but Germans (mostly traders) started emigrating there in the 1800s . . . i do not recall what sources i found 20+ years ago when i was driving my Mom around (interwebby was still relatively new, and i did not have a computer at home) -- but i remember us talking about the Polka similarities in Merengue, and where DID all those accordions come from??
	1:34am BH: The Lakers/Clippers voting to not finish the season flipped some people from "LeBron is going all-out to win a title this year" to "LeBron wants to end the season". When you're the best for a long period of time, it can get a little polarizing
	1:36am slugluv1313: @ Mr. Pumpy -- that is phenomenal -- thank you for doing this for your dad
	1:38am Mr. Pumpy: @slug...you are welcome?
	1:38am Mr. Pumpy: Thanks for recognizing!
	1:38am Mr. Pumpy: This track is slamming
	1:40am slugluv1313: hell yeah! even the cats are digging it . . . one of them situated on top of the receiver
	1:43am slugluv1313: @ Mr. Pumpy -- dude, do not underestimate -- a LOT of people would not do this for their dad, or anyone
	1:47am Mr. Pumpy: @slug...thanks. Appreciated!
	1:52am $mall ¢hange: cat approved jazz. what we are going for always haha
	1:52am mariano: Wow, Mr. Pumpy - never knew dialysis was that complicated, your dad's so lucky to have you. slugluv: That's interesting about the DR. Latin America and the Caribbean are a lot more diverse than they're often portrayed.
	1:57am $mall ¢hange: yeah Mr Pumpy props. that is pretty nuts
	1:58am Mr. Pumpy: mariano...there are two types. the blood dialysis done in a hospital or center 3 times a week is tough on the circulatory system and other areas. this type, peritoneal dialysis, is done at home, if you can learn it, and every night. It's challenging...and I hope he can handle it. Easier on the organs and a bit less restrictive as far as diet goes. We should Zoom about it one of these days. Fascinating! ;)
	1:59am Aitch: Very jazzy tonight $mall ¢hange. Not my thing so enjoy when curated so well.
	1:59am Mr. Pumpy: $mall ¢hange:, yes...wacky! Better for the patient on many levels. I'll do it as long as I can manage. 7 days a week at home. Hopefully he'll get involved more.
	2:00am Mr. Pumpy: This set is really doing it for me. Thanks!
	2:02am $mall ¢hange: again info for orgs via WFMU wfmu.org...
	2:04am mariano: Sure thing Mr. P - you can show me the ropes!
	2:06am BH: the jazz is a good soundtrack for anybody watching Weather Channel hurricane coverage tonight
	2:06am Aitch: H, like the letter (that americans rarely pronounce?)
	2:06am slugluv1313: @mariano -- some years ago i was reading about Cuban food, cooking, etc. (but again, totally spacing out on the source!) -- author was talking about the Chinese influence on some of Cuba's regions due to the influx of Chinese workers who were brought over to build the railroads for crap wages -- and i immediately remembered all the "Spanish-American and Chinese" restaurants that used to be here in Hoboken, Jersey City, etc. and in NYC -- lotsa great food, but idiot me did not understand the Chinese/Latin American connection back then (sadly, so many are gone -- like so many other family owned small businesses, gentrification killed them too)
	2:17am BH: Is the experience requirement for this "transitional natiional leader" position as 'realistic' as experience requirements for most job postings? "Must have 3-5 years experience supervising a transitional government"
	2:19am mariano: slugluv: Yeah, there are Chinese all over Latin America. A cousin of mine's wife is Chinese-Honduran. I was sad to see La Caridad closed, glad I got to go there. The main minority in San Pedro Sula, where my family's from, is Palestinian, something like 20%. I grew up eating as much Palestinian as Honduran food. I can't think of a single non-Palestinian family I know down there in which someone isn't married to a Palestinian.
	2:23am $mall ¢hange: the whole interview with Ben Norton is here if ppl are interested www.youtube.com...
	2:25am yippie: nellie loves this jam
	2:28am yippie: also in newark i went to a Chinese taco joynt on market street
	2:31am Mr. Pumpy: Space noises!!!
	2:33am Mr. Pumpy: Cluster/ENO!!! Fuck yes. One of my top 10.
	2:34am $mall ¢hange: all for multi culturalisms but those knock off Chinese taco joints are generally not good haha. since I grew up in cali. slight mexican food snob ;)
	2:36am Mr. Pumpy: you are a snob about small Mexican food?
	2:37am $mall ¢hange: haha. just saying. when I moved to nyc in the early mid 90s, mexican food was Benny's Burritos bad. that bad haha
	2:37am BH: I'll take a bunch of Gen Tso chicken in a burrito to go.
	2:38am Mr. Pumpy: I was riffing on "slight" Mexican food
	2:38am $mall ¢hange: the Korean tacos in LA are pretty legit tho. it can work
	2:38am $mall ¢hange: we just riffin'. conversational improvisation
	2:39am slugluv1313: @ $mall ¢hange -- Benny's Burritos agghhhhhh!!! barfamos & yeah, i remember when all the Chinese taco joints started popping up all over the place -- some ok, some just plain nasty
	2:40am Mr. Pumpy: we be riffin' conprovisational all up in this bivouac!
	2:41am mariano: I read an interesting article years ago on that certain type of NYC taco joint run by Chinese, all with the exact same menu. Something about a tortilla-pressing machine invented in Mexico, then the company franchised to people in China. $mall ¢hange: Yeah, it's crazy how full of Mexican food NYC has become in the last 20-30 years. In the late 90s there was Castro's in Brooklyn, on Myrtle, only legit place I knew of though I'm sure there were others scattered around.
	2:41am yippie: yeah LA has real tacos i rarely eat any in NYC
	2:43am BH: Here in a Missouri suburb, Mexican/Hispanic* food can be pretty authentic, or a place that plays Billy Joel and seems like it's trying to be a 60s Mexican restaurant. (* - Is there a better term for the restaurants that are more pan-Spanish speaking world than Mexican, because some of them are low-key Central American but with various Mexican items too)
	2:43am slugluv1313: speaking of crappy "Mexican" "food" -- a Taco Bell will be opening in Hoboken -- right near the PATH station, where all the bars are (but not really open fully) . . . ugh like we need more projectile vomiting here???
	2:44am slugluv1313: @mariano -- oh right! yeah they all had the same menu!
	2:46am $mall ¢hange: Fresco Tortillas? I think that is the Chinese/Mexican chain. their menu looks like a takeout chinese joint, with the pictures etc. yeah. not good. over the years have discovered Sunset Park, Sunnyside trucks, etc. there is def some legit Mexican in NYC but you have to search for it a lil. lotsa overpriced yuppie joints with a big margarita menu, that you can find
	2:47am slugluv1313: some really awesome Mexican joints in Jersey City Heights -- small places, owned and operated by Mexican families . . . and in West New York, Union City, North Bergen -- a lot of Central and South American restaurants
	2:47am $mall ¢hange: Tacos El Bronco was my late night jam, their truck on 38th and 5th ave in Park Slope was open til 5am. quite a few times after my show would swing by there. btw I learned they closed at 5am the hard way once, drove out there, 5:10am haha
	2:47am BH: If the Google reviews of a place include quite a bit of Spanish, that could be a good sign for authenticity. This method might not work in some metro areas.
	2:49am yippie: a taco truck in brooklyn gave me free alcohol with my food a few cinco de mayos ago
	2:50am mariano: yippie: Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It's like being in the Mission. BH: Latino/x or Hispanic food maybe? In Spanish it's comida latina or comida hispana, sometimes comida típica, but it would sound weird to call it typical food in English lol ("Well that's just typical!"). I love how seemingly every awning on every Puerto-Rican diner in NYC says Spanish food. In New Orleans the main Hispanic food is Honduran/Nicaraguan. Mexican (and Indian) is pretty lacking down here.
	2:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Been listening while the laptop was updating. Thanks for the show, $¢. Take care.
	2:54am yippie: i like delores park more
	2:55am slugluv1313: @ mariano -- hah, yup! "Spanish-American" too
	2:55am mom billie: thanks for a great show
	2:56am mariano: Dolores Park, corner of 20th and Church, was one of my absolute favorite spots in SF. Surreal view of the skyline in the background. Thanks $mall ¢hange and crew, bye everyone!
	2:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Bezos just became the first person worth $200 billion. Lovely.
	2:57am mariano: Hurray for Darren!
	2:59am slugluv1313: thanks so much, $mall ¢hange, skeletons -- fantastic grooves, interviews/statements -- have a great night/day, everyone!
	2:59am Mr. Pumpy: danke! peace and love, all!
	3:19am C in Thailand: Listening to the Grayzone YouTube link... burning people in garbage cabs. They do that to activists in my part of the world, too! OK, here it's mostly oil bins but it's still reassuring to hear about the common customs humanity shares around the world.

	2:33am Mr. Pumpy: Cluster/ENO!!! Fuck yes. One of my top 10.
	2:34am $mall ¢hange: all for multi culturalisms but those knock off Chinese taco joints are generally not good haha. since I grew up in cali. slight mexican food snob ;)
	2:36am Mr. Pumpy: you are a snob about small Mexican food?
	2:37am $mall ¢hange: haha. just saying. when I moved to nyc in the early mid 90s, mexican food was Benny's Burritos bad. that bad haha
	2:37am BH: I'll take a bunch of Gen Tso chicken in a burrito to go.
	2:38am Mr. Pumpy: I was riffing on "slight" Mexican food
	2:38am $mall ¢hange: the Korean tacos in LA are pretty legit tho. it can work
	2:38am $mall ¢hange: we just riffin'. conversational improvisation
	2:39am slugluv1313: @ $mall ¢hange -- Benny's Burritos agghhhhhh!!! barfamos & yeah, i remember when all the Chinese taco joints started popping up all over the place -- some ok, some just plain nasty
	2:40am Mr. Pumpy: we be riffin' conprovisational all up in this bivouac!
	2:41am mariano: I read an interesting article years ago on that certain type of NYC taco joint run by Chinese, all with the exact same menu. Something about a tortilla-pressing machine invented in Mexico, then the company franchised to people in China. $mall ¢hange: Yeah, it's crazy how full of Mexican food NYC has become in the last 20-30 years. In the late 90s there was Castro's in Brooklyn, on Myrtle, only legit place I knew of though I'm sure there were others scattered around.
	2:41am yippie: yeah LA has real tacos i rarely eat any in NYC
	2:43am BH: Here in a Missouri suburb, Mexican/Hispanic* food can be pretty authentic, or a place that plays Billy Joel and seems like it's trying to be a 60s Mexican restaurant. (* - Is there a better term for the restaurants that are more pan-Spanish speaking world than Mexican, because some of them are low-key Central American but with various Mexican items too)
	2:43am slugluv1313: speaking of crappy "Mexican" "food" -- a Taco Bell will be opening in Hoboken -- right near the PATH station, where all the bars are (but not really open fully) . . . ugh like we need more projectile vomiting here???
	2:44am slugluv1313: @mariano -- oh right! yeah they all had the same menu!
	2:46am $mall ¢hange: Fresco Tortillas? I think that is the Chinese/Mexican chain. their menu looks like a takeout chinese joint, with the pictures etc. yeah. not good. over the years have discovered Sunset Park, Sunnyside trucks, etc. there is def some legit Mexican in NYC but you have to search for it a lil. lotsa overpriced yuppie joints with a big margarita menu, that you can find
	2:47am slugluv1313: some really awesome Mexican joints in Jersey City Heights -- small places, owned and operated by Mexican families . . . and in West New York, Union City, North Bergen -- a lot of Central and South American restaurants
	2:47am $mall ¢hange: Tacos El Bronco was my late night jam, their truck on 38th and 5th ave in Park Slope was open til 5am. quite a few times after my show would swing by there. btw I learned they closed at 5am the hard way once, drove out there, 5:10am haha
	2:47am BH: If the Google reviews of a place include quite a bit of Spanish, that could be a good sign for authenticity. This method might not work in some metro areas.
	2:49am yippie: a taco truck in brooklyn gave me free alcohol with my food a few cinco de mayos ago
	2:50am mariano: yippie: Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It's like being in the Mission. BH: Latino/x or Hispanic food maybe? In Spanish it's comida latina or comida hispana, sometimes comida típica, but it would sound weird to call it typical food in English lol ("Well that's just typical!"). I love how seemingly every awning on every Puerto-Rican diner in NYC says Spanish food. In New Orleans the main Hispanic food is Honduran/Nicaraguan. Mexican (and Indian) is pretty lacking down here.
	2:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Been listening while the laptop was updating. Thanks for the show, $¢. Take care.
	2:54am yippie: i like delores park more
	2:55am slugluv1313: @ mariano -- hah, yup! "Spanish-American" too
	2:55am mom billie: thanks for a great show
	2:56am mariano: Dolores Park, corner of 20th and Church, was one of my absolute favorite spots in SF. Surreal view of the skyline in the background. Thanks $mall ¢hange and crew, bye everyone!
	2:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Bezos just became the first person worth $200 billion. Lovely.
	2:57am mariano: Hurray for Darren!
	2:59am slugluv1313: thanks so much, $mall ¢hange, skeletons -- fantastic grooves, interviews/statements -- have a great night/day, everyone!
	2:59am Mr. Pumpy: danke! peace and love, all!
	3:19am C in Thailand: Listening to the Grayzone YouTube link... burning people in garbage cabs. They do that to activists in my part of the world, too! OK, here it's mostly oil bins but it's still reassuring to hear about the common customs humanity shares around the world.
