	11:02am clarke: HEY nowwww!
	11:03am P-90: It’s “Mike” Shelley!
	11:03am Squints: Not my favorite JoJo number every single minute, but certainly often enough. And absoLUTEly a Number One Hit.
	11:04am clarke: it is INDEED time to pick The Single Of The Summer!!!~ every SINGLE minute!
	11:05am Michael Shelley: I remember Jonathan closed shows with a LONG version of this for a while... always killer.
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Happy Saturday, Michael and all the Shelle Gamers!
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Hey, I recognize those sidecars -- and the dog in the background!
	11:06am clarke: my criteria for Single Of The Summer: a newly released original in summer (or late spring) . this means no covers or re-ish's.
	11:06am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! @Handy Sweet coasters!
	11:07am Handy Haversack: They've done yeoman's service, Corey -- and so has the Three Chord Monte beer koozie!
	11:07am clarke: i'll have two haversacks - water backs
	11:08am Handy Haversack: You got it, clarke.
	11:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Bagpipe!
	11:08am Frank In Queens: Handy is bartending!
	11:09am Michael Shelley: Handy does not practice portion control
	11:10am clarke: my runner-up is GBV's I Think I Had It - I Think I Have It Again -- but, it came out very late in the summer. therefore... the WINNER is... Juniper - Dragon Coaster!!!!
	11:10am Handy Haversack: I just control up, Michael.
	11:11am goyim in the am: Jonathan is now of that age where two songs in a row have me checking the news in panic.
	11:11am P-90: “inviting chaotic sloppiness” describes that vibe perfectly
	11:12am steveo: here for the hits (hi)
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Ha, @goyim in the am, two DJs played a Bryan Ferry song this week, and the rumors started flying!
	11:12am clarke: @goyim - they ARE dropping like flies, sadly
	11:14am clarke: ain't no flies on me, signed: juke joint johnny
	11:14am Squints: I don't worry about it so much on WFMU, given the themed nature of a lot of the shows. There's usually a reason and it's not always that.
	11:15am Frank In Queens: God don't want me yet, man. God don't want me yet.
	11:17am clarke: there is no god
	11:19am clarke: the man said TURN IT UP!!
	11:21am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Ko Molina!
	11:22am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I got my coasters this week. Debating whether to use them or frame them.
	11:23am clarke: i know she's not around to answer these questions, but: is Dragon Coaster one o'them double-meaning songs? i mean is there a MS coaster with a dragon on it??
	11:23am Handy Haversack: Frank, I got some vegan cheese on your rec. and have started having it on sandwiches. So far, so good! I haven't melted it yet.
	11:24am Frank In Queens: Nice Handy! Which brand did you go with?
	11:25am Michael Shelley: THANKS, Gio - and thanks Greg & Scotty for the boss designs!
	11:25am Hubig Pie: Blu Danube Waltz ? Also Sprach Zarathustra ?
	11:25am clarke: february seems realistic, to me
	11:26am Hubig Pie: Blue
	11:27am Handy Haversack: Now I can't remember, Frank, but it rang a bell as one you recommended. One-syllable name? A presliced variety. Kate saw an article today that there's a venue in Manhattan with indoor music -- acts are masked and 20' from audience, who are masked and also separated. No alcohol.
	11:27am Frank In Queens: Violife?
	11:27am Uncle Michael: More Kenny Vaughn guitar, please!
	11:27am clarke: that sounds really absurd
	11:28am Uncle Michael: *Vaughan
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Wait one syllable, not one word. Chao?
	11:28am clarke: ah asst prod is HERE!!
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Sidecar: Brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice; 3:2:1. When staying in is the new going out! Chao, yeah, Frank, that's it.
	11:30am clarke: THIS ain't yer regular Coasters
	11:31am Squints: Wow. Clearly latter-day, but when the did the Coastahs make THIS? Good GOD, y'all.
	11:31am steveo: i never heard this version? kids today, sheesh
	11:31am steveo: flute solo!
	11:32am Sean: FLUTE SOLO!!!
	11:32am Squints: I was waiting on the Eric Burdon monologue.
	11:33am steveo:
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Love Dog Day Afternoon. My buddy Jay's mom is in one of the crowd shots!
	11:35am clarke: oh now we are doing MovieTime?!??
	11:35am Ken in Fort Worth: You mean queso-y
	11:35am steveo: handy you got more degrees than kevin bacon :)
	11:36am Frank In Queens: Dog Day is great. When Pacino was good.
	11:36am clarke: whooo-aahhhhh!!!
	11:36am Hughie Considine: John Cazale's performance was one for the ages.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: I love the Detectorists. One of the sweetest shows ever. As an audience of people devoted to an odd passion, you will love this show. This is a love song to people who have an obsession. Sound like anyone we know? This show is lovely.
	11:36am Uncle Michael: Detectorists is one of the best series I've ever seen.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Word, Uncle Michael!
	11:38am clarke: sounds like one might have to have the britbox to view this?
	11:38am Squints: RI PBS affiliate carried Detectorists a few years ago. They fellas weren't misanthropic so much as misandifferent. I feel that. Social interaction can be enjoyable for me. But it's always work.
	11:38am clarke: also - very john cale vocals here
	11:38am Uncle Michael: Michael, you and I are new the TWO DJs that have played this song.
	11:40am Mister Dobalina: I can't believe I'm this late the M.S. extravaganza.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: Two class acts!
	11:40am Frank In Queens: A very sparse viewing week for me because of way too many hockey games. A Fish Called Wanda and reruns of Laverne and Shirley.
	11:40am Handy Haversack: @Squints, exactly. So focused on the loved object -- detecting -- that regular human interaction is secondary. As a nerd with multiple fields of obsession, I totally understand where they are coming from.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: UM - maybe it was YOU who recommended it??? If so, thanks!
	11:41am clarke: instead of The Way Back i would recommend The Way Way Back - brilliant Film. i haven't seen wanda in a long time - but imagine it would hold up well.
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Finished rewatching season 2 of The Wire last night. There are no happy endings in the world we have allowed to be built. "Business. Always business." -- The Greek
	11:42am lukavino: this Sugar Stems is twisting my wig.
	11:42am Squints: I like being out and about. My chief contribution tends to be to not and grin a little dopily.
	11:42am Michael Shelley: The Wire - better than Sopranos!
	11:42am Squints: Er, to nod and grin dopily.
	11:42am clarke: how's the hockey shaping up frank? (sorry if this is a cruel question - i don't know much about the hockey)
	11:43am Squints: I've heard a great many Wire records. The singers feature no sopranos whatsover.
	11:44am clarke: methinks artist and song have been misplaced
	11:44am Frank In Queens: Lousy week, clarke. Isles blew a 3-1 series lead and were forced to Game 7 which is tonight. I'd rather be watching the 4K mastering of Flash Gordon this evening, BUT NOOOOOO!!!!
	11:45am clarke: well - theres still hope
	11:45am Squints: Buster Crabbe in 4K remastering would be something.
	11:46am clarke: nothing wrong a little game seven excitement, tho.
	11:46am Uncle Michael: If I did, Michael...you're welcome.
	11:46am steveo: this song is why i kiss everyone as soon as possible
	11:46am Frank In Queens: True, and all will be forgiven if they win. But it's really a win-win for me. If the Isles win, they make it to the Conference Finals for the first time in 27 years. If they lose, I don't have to watch this goddamm team again for months!
	11:47am clarke: i believe norman petty produced that Cords tune?
	11:48am clarke: i never had a dog in this race, but i pull for ya. what is on the Above/Low menu for game night?
	11:49am Frank In Queens: It's Greek Week in the "From Queens" household. Tonight is Fava Bean Sausages cooked in tomatoes and white win. Served with greens, of course.
	11:49am clarke: this is THE BESTEST!!
	11:50am Frank In Queens: *wine
	11:50am clarke: anthony hopkins droppin' by?
	11:51am Frank In Queens: You never can tell these days.
	11:51am clarke: 55555
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Chris was fantastic that night.
	11:53am clarke: hillman is great in my book - many find him to be a dick, but he is just frank (excuse pun, frank)
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Don't worry clarke, I've been called a dick before.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Sounds good, Frank! We had taco night last night. I had some seitan and Field Roast that I hoarded early that need to be used up, so there's left over fillings that I am going to have under eggs pretty damn soon here. Fun story: I went from a small liberal arts college quite close to here to a large midwestern state school for an MFA. When I was walking around looking for restaurant work the first week, I saw signs announcing the upcoming Greek Week. I was so excited at the idea that a community that large could get that excited about performances of Sophocles and Aristophanes ... I'm slow. But I get there. Sometimes.
	11:54am clarke: AND you have been called The New Hillman, before too!!
	11:55am MAL: the sweetheart of the rodeo tour last year was as good as it gets
	11:55am paul: If you only put one E in Merle, you're walking on the fighting side of me.
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Nice! We had tacos on Thursday night. Real simple; just beans and quinoa with fresh pico. Side of sauteed kale, of course.
	11:56am clarke: she's buying a vowel - takes a second!
	11:58am winston legthigh: hiya handy! pretty beat up from bourbon right now but will be watchin handy at 1:10 post time.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: Regarding Greek Week/Frat nonsense: My freshman year at Queens College, some guy came up to me asking if I wanted to "rush". Not knowing the lingo, I thought he was asking me something about the band Rush, who I am a fan of and who I might have very well been wearing a t-shirt of on that day, which prompted him to have to explain to me just what the hell he was talking about.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Here's a MS-board-relevant-adjacent question: Are people still maintaining large grocery stockpiles and additionally trying to get to the stores less frequently? Or has shopping been normalized enough that no one is stressing about that anymore? winston! I'm putting a spiritual $5 WPS on my namesake, and boxed exactas with the two favorites. Let me know how I do! Ha, Frank, excellent. You get what I'm saying. Kate still can't believe how ignorant I was.
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: I promptly declined the offer.
	12:01pm clarke: a little of both for us - i have a supply of canned goods and hurricane prep stuff, but am going to grocery pretty regularly, too.
	12:01pm James in ATL: Ready for the good news for NRBQ fans in the new schedule!
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: I go out once a week for food and Christina does the same. That covers us week to week and we buy a little extra for the stockpile we're building for what we feel will be the inevitable sequel to the March lockdown.
	12:02pm clarke: i must concur frank - nothing's 'over'
	12:02pm Vt Knit Girl: Sent sent an email with a photo of the coasters.
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: However, I have had to make exceptions for unexpected beer runs.
	12:03pm clarke: those aren't coasters!!!!
	12:05pm ?: I work with a guy who tells us from time to time about his ex girlfriend, who kept all of her 'toys' in a hatbox.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Can't go wrong with a well-done Frank.
	12:06pm clarke: a well-done Frank!
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: The men don't know, but the little girls....well, they don't know either.
	12:07pm clarke: all of the girls like to dance, but only some of the guys do
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: NO ONE would have been smoking anything but tobacco in a club back then.
	12:09pm phat: Hatbox girls are a perennial bar phenomenon, with different names over the years.
	12:11pm phat: Chicks
	12:11pm Pedro in Arlington: The Wire was solid, especially it's use of Baltimore, but had frequent cop show cliches. There are only a handful of weak moments/episodes of The Sopranos.
	12:12pm clarke: anyone (else) catch the Lemon Twigs on the seth myers show this past week - they were GREAT, but i sat thru literally 7 mins of commercials to get to their performance!
	12:13pm clarke: (i am usually prone to exaggeration, but not in this case!)
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Just went out front, and I cannot remember the last time I saw this many parking spots open on our block. I guess everyone is gone for the weekend. It's nuts. Parking spots are worth more than toilet paper around here!
	12:15pm clarke: maybe you are omega-sack man
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: they have made Tv impossible to watch
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: clarke, it's not impossible! I'm gonna go ahead and start shedding inhibitions on spec!
	12:16pm clarke: yeah - i rarely am watching late-night TV but i want my 7 mins back!!
	12:17pm clarke: ha ha ha - go for it HH!!
	12:18pm clarke: this song has always been brilliance!!
	12:18pm steveo: the girls turn into gnomes, iirc
	12:18pm Hubig Pie: Brian Wilson on the TV last nite along with James Brown dancing on one leg
	12:18pm clarke: any luck finding info on mark eric?
	12:19pm clarke: oh yeah - tami show was on tcm
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Isn't this a Steve Stanley reissue? He could probably steer you to the guy.
	12:19pm steveo: i watched an episode of "love it or leave it" on HGTV; they almost always love it, btw
	12:20pm clarke: i have a good interview idea for ya: Elliott Easton
	12:20pm paul: This is as Beach Boys as it gets.
	12:20pm steveo: and i'm scheming to get a free trial of some kind of streaming service if and when my team makes it to the mlb playoffs
	12:21pm Ross T.: I gotta say pretty much with any Beach Boy/Brian Wilson homage -- Explorers Club, High Llama, Tradewinds even -- I'm in.
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: I have reached out on FB... no answer from Elliot
	12:21pm clarke: dang dang dang!
	12:22pm steveo: a child i nthe next room is approximating one-note samba on the keyboard, to add to the Heap
	12:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Looks like the Johnny Cash show airing tonight will feature The Monkees and Joni Mitchell.
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: steveo, everybody's team gonna make it to mlb playoffs, cept mine of course.
	12:23pm steveo: sorry hubig, you can borrow my team if you like
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: steveo, remember, everyone makes the playoffs this year -- even the Marlins. I'll warn you that MLB.TV will not show you local games. So if you are a Yankees or Mets fan, you'll find your teams' games blacked out. Because it is still 1950.
	12:23pm clarke: we'll never get to the world series, sadly, i don't think
	12:24pm Hackensack Slim: Songs the Church Keys taught us.
	12:25pm clarke: for free sports stream: StopStream (a lot of pop-ups, but get ad-block plus and don't give up)
	12:26pm steveo: i'm conveniently not a yankees or mets fan so i can get most of the games for a nominal annual fee
	12:26pm Squints: Gimme dat Beach Baby ding.
	12:26pm Rex: I know this guy!
	12:26pm steveo: it is dumb that it's still a monopoly for "cable" tv
	12:27pm clarke: REALLY? no one has a Single Of This Summer submission? c'mon gang!
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: clarke, also usagoals dot com. Same warnings.
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: The estate of Jean Sibelius sued the writers of the First Class single for copyright infringement. Don't mess with Sibelius!
	12:28pm paul: Why make a cover version that's almost a copy of the original?
	12:28pm efd: Logged in on my phone just to say I am bowled over by this version of “Beach Baby” every time I hear it.
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Because he can.
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: Because it often sells more.
	12:29pm steveo: they say you can also use a proxy server to relay blacked out games, but i've not bothered with that (i also enjoy the radio broadcasts, go figure)
	12:29pm steveo: @paul because the record company owns the royalties on the original
	12:29pm Ross T.: I'm guessing there's a Tony Burrows interview floating around here somewhere....
	12:31pm steveo: (oh i didn't read very carefully @paul -- get me rewrite!)
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: I think I gonna jump on the Padres bandwagon
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: I'm getting there....
	12:33pm clarke: barbers do NOT f'in listen!!
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: My wife's haircutting skills have drastically improved since March.
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: This is the longest my hair has been since I was in my 20s.
	12:34pm scott: We have all been given opportunities to expand our skillset.
	12:34pm paul: @steveo, you had me wondering. :)
	12:34pm Cooh John: My best haircuts were by my mom for my first 24 years.
	12:34pm Hams: my barber gave me a mullet last week. had to have my mom fix it up.
	12:34pm Listener Scott: I just buzzed it all off. Probably saved a $100 since March.
	12:35pm Rich from Red Hook: Stick with the Ma-ber
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: I've only listened to a couple of games this season. I just have trouble revving up my enthusiasm this year. Maybe the playoffs will do it? But a season this short, a playoff field that broad -- I don't know that I can root for chance and hazard. And I find MLB the megacorporation even more disappointing than usual this year in its megacorporate choices.
	12:36pm Mister Dobalina: My haircut costs $10 and looks good too.
	12:37pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I got a nice haircut this morning. Still no razor for the neck clean-up, though, and that's the best part.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: Been buzzing it all off every few weeks since ... 1994?
	12:37pm steveo: counterpoint: chance and hazard can be fun
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: & if you want to get really frugal, you can go to the place that is training people to get their haircut license. Student barbers?
	12:37pm steveo: the free man on 2nd for extra innings is pretty bonkers, for example
	12:38pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Handy I've been pretty committed to the baseball this year. As usual, I guess. Although, it's not the same, for sure.
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Acknowledged, steveo -- that's what the NFL is for, though! I hear you, I hear you. I just haven't found the get-up-and-go yet.
	12:38pm clarke: true - hope Baby is ok. was last week.
	12:38pm steveo: i'm not judging :)
	12:38pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Anybody watching hockey?
	12:39pm clarke: frank
	12:40pm paul: Yes. Go Bolts!
	12:41pm scott: You bees buzzing, you alerted me to Pseu way back, cross-pollination is healthy.
	12:42pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Does the lack of fans dampen your enthusiasm?
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: I firmly believe that Pseu's Thing with a Hook would please most fans of the Michael Shelley show. Thursdays at noon.
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: @Geoffrey in Ottawa, NY Rangers fan here. I have never been so happy to lose in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It got us the first overall pick and Alexis Lafreniere.
	12:43pm Squints: I'm happy enough that for the 26th season in a row, no team from Canada will win Lord Stanley's cup. And nor will one until the league rights the wrong and returns the NHL to Quebec City like it did for Winnipeg.
	12:43pm paul: You asking me, Geoffrey? If so, yes.
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: Geoffrey, not in the slightest. I don't even notice and not because of the piped in crowd noise.
	12:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Last two haircuts were this past June and before that last December. Have not shaved since March. I realize I have a ways to go to catch up to Dave Sewelson.
	12:44pm Squints: Diggin' hard this Rationals ditty.
	12:44pm Ross T.: Agree on Thing with a Hook, Hughie -- top shelf FMU.
	12:45pm Ross T.: Bongo Feet! I can go now.
	12:45pm clarke: dang this sounds like manfred mann - with bongo feet!
	12:45pm Tim In SF: Speaking of haircuts and barbershops, ever wonder why the red, white and blue cylinder (sometimes rotating) came to represent barbershops?
	12:45pm Moammar: Feet don't fail me now!
	12:45pm KWilde: Flintstone!
	12:46pm scott: Sweeney Todd?
	12:46pm Moammar: @TimInSf: Arteries, veins and bandages, right?
	12:47pm swk: Loving the guitar in this song
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: @me, Geoffrey? No. It's MLB's cack-handed responses to COVID, the naked money grabbing of the owners at the risk of the lives not just of players but of the much more working-class clubhouse and grounds personnel. MLB proves again and again it will do the least possible to safeguard lives or take a stand against injustice as long as the cash keeps flowing. Its antilabor positions toward its own employees and product and the minor leagues just depresses me. I love the game. I hate the league. Usually once the games start up I can get over it enough to get enthused. This year, less so.
	12:48pm paul: How much to have a bagel, lox and cream cheese delivered to Florida? (I tip well.)
	12:49pm scott: Hand that man a hockey stick, get in the game dude.
	12:49pm DeemerDave: Love Sniff n' the Tears! Thanks Michael!
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: Maimi has good deli food
	12:49pm Ross T.: I wonder if Sniff has been playing the oldies circuit with a back up band of 20-somethings.
	12:50pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Alvy--Ottawa Senators should have had that pick. What a racket.
	12:50pm Squints: "Mr. Sniff requests your presence backstage."
	12:50pm paul: You're right, Michael. But i'm in Tarpon Springs.
	12:50pm clarke: ross - i just saw Tommy James with the "new" shondells on pbs - tommy was GREAT - backing band not so cool
	12:50pm Tim In SF: @Moammar, haha...at one point in time the majority couldn't read "barbershop" (i.e. were illiterate) but they could identify that rotating red white and blue sign. Still around after all these centuries.
	12:51pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Handy You'll get no argument from me re the league, but I am glad they're playing ball this year. Don't you think the NFL is even worse? They're proceeding as though everything is normal.
	12:51pm Cooh John: My theme song back in the day playing euchre with the guys. BTW, me and my Jenny just celebrated 36 years together.
	12:52pm paul: Even Broward County has good delis, but not Pinellas.
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: @Geoff, no doubt. Total fix. The guy controlling the ping pong balls looked right at the machine when he hit the button. But don't worry, Lafreniere will be a good player, but he's not a generational talent like Crosby or McDavid were.
	12:52pm Squints: @clarke, I wonder if those were the guys he had playing with him doing the melody tents two summers ago. I thought the band was fine. I was a little abashed not to have known TJ had written "Tighter, Tighter."
	12:53pm scott: This songs fits well with 'You Make me Crazy' by Utopia.
	12:53pm Alvy Singer: @ Geoffrey--That racket has set the Pittsburgh Penguins up quite nicely dating back to Mario Lemieux.
	12:53pm Frank Zaatar: I saw the VH1 episode: "As the Tears thought about striking out on their own, Sniff began his long descent into a nightmare of drugs."
	12:53pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Alvy I was surprised the Pens didn't end up with the first pick.
	12:54pm clarke: i don't know - was the keyboard player wildly dancing badly around?
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: @Geoffrey -- I do! The NBA is the only league that I think has even made meaningful efforts at any sort of responsibility. Keep in mind: I know absolutely nothing about hockey. The closest I come if loving Letterkenny.
	12:54pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Frank Ottawa needs an attendance boost and A.L. might have provided that.
	12:55pm Squints: Not that I recall, clarke. But a rotating stage in the tent dinna give the band a lot of room.
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: The first thing the Sens need is a new owner. The new owners have done wonders for the Isles!
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: Whoa dang, look at the time! Thanks, Michael! This totally reasonably sized drink's for you! Thanks, Ruth! Be well, all. Glad to see you for another Saturday.
	12:56pm paul: Tampa Bay wins the Stanley Cup, World Series and Super Bowl. You heard it here first.
	12:56pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Handy NBA and NHL have both done well in that regard, I think. For what it's worth, I'm glad the Canadian gov't told the Blue Jays they couldn't play here. Political decision or not, it sure seemed like the right one especially as the season began.
	12:56pm Alvy Singer: @ Geoffrey Or why not just gift him to the Maple Leafs. Half of their payroll is dedicated to 4 skill players. Look who is left in the playoffs and there is no top heavy skill team left.
	12:56pm clarke: tommy sure looks like a mutant, but he was rocking a grand Jazzmaster - through twin stereo fenders
	12:57pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Frank No question and given the acrimony locally toward the current owner, you've gotta figure it's coming.
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: @Paul, this might finally be the year for this Lightning team. Especially if you draw Philly in the Conference Final.
	12:57pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Paul Not that far-fetched.
	12:57pm scott: How could so harmony and chaos exist in one mind, missing Emitt.

	12:58pm radioronan: Thanks Michael.. thanks skeletons..
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: @Alvy, if the #1 prospect was a defenseman, then Toronto would've been gifted the pick. They don't need more scoring, they need to keep the puck out of their net.

	11:06am Handy Haversack: Hey, I recognize those sidecars -- and the dog in the background!
	11:06am clarke: my criteria for Single Of The Summer: a newly released original in summer (or late spring) . this means no covers or re-ish's.
	11:06am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! @Handy Sweet coasters!
	11:07am Handy Haversack: They've done yeoman's service, Corey -- and so has the Three Chord Monte beer koozie!
	11:07am clarke: i'll have two haversacks - water backs
	11:08am Handy Haversack: You got it, clarke.
	11:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Bagpipe!
	11:08am Frank In Queens: Handy is bartending!
	11:09am Michael Shelley: Handy does not practice portion control
	11:10am clarke: my runner-up is GBV's I Think I Had It - I Think I Have It Again -- but, it came out very late in the summer. therefore... the WINNER is... Juniper - Dragon Coaster!!!!
	11:10am Handy Haversack: I just control up, Michael.
	11:11am goyim in the am: Jonathan is now of that age where two songs in a row have me checking the news in panic.
	11:11am P-90: “inviting chaotic sloppiness” describes that vibe perfectly
	11:12am steveo: here for the hits (hi)
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Ha, @goyim in the am, two DJs played a Bryan Ferry song this week, and the rumors started flying!
	11:12am clarke: @goyim - they ARE dropping like flies, sadly
	11:14am clarke: ain't no flies on me, signed: juke joint johnny
	11:14am Squints: I don't worry about it so much on WFMU, given the themed nature of a lot of the shows. There's usually a reason and it's not always that.
	11:15am Frank In Queens: God don't want me yet, man. God don't want me yet.
	11:17am clarke: there is no god
	11:19am clarke: the man said TURN IT UP!!
	11:21am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Ko Molina!
	11:22am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I got my coasters this week. Debating whether to use them or frame them.
	11:23am clarke: i know she's not around to answer these questions, but: is Dragon Coaster one o'them double-meaning songs? i mean is there a MS coaster with a dragon on it??
	11:23am Handy Haversack: Frank, I got some vegan cheese on your rec. and have started having it on sandwiches. So far, so good! I haven't melted it yet.
	11:24am Frank In Queens: Nice Handy! Which brand did you go with?
	11:25am Michael Shelley: THANKS, Gio - and thanks Greg & Scotty for the boss designs!
	11:25am Hubig Pie: Blu Danube Waltz ? Also Sprach Zarathustra ?
	11:25am clarke: february seems realistic, to me
	11:26am Hubig Pie: Blue
	11:27am Handy Haversack: Now I can't remember, Frank, but it rang a bell as one you recommended. One-syllable name? A presliced variety. Kate saw an article today that there's a venue in Manhattan with indoor music -- acts are masked and 20' from audience, who are masked and also separated. No alcohol.
	11:27am Frank In Queens: Violife?
	11:27am Uncle Michael: More Kenny Vaughn guitar, please!
	11:27am clarke: that sounds really absurd
	11:28am Uncle Michael: *Vaughan
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Wait one syllable, not one word. Chao?
	11:28am clarke: ah asst prod is HERE!!
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Sidecar: Brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice; 3:2:1. When staying in is the new going out! Chao, yeah, Frank, that's it.
	11:30am clarke: THIS ain't yer regular Coasters
	11:31am Squints: Wow. Clearly latter-day, but when the did the Coastahs make THIS? Good GOD, y'all.
	11:31am steveo: i never heard this version? kids today, sheesh
	11:31am steveo: flute solo!
	11:32am Sean: FLUTE SOLO!!!
	11:32am Squints: I was waiting on the Eric Burdon monologue.
	11:33am steveo:
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Love Dog Day Afternoon. My buddy Jay's mom is in one of the crowd shots!
	11:35am clarke: oh now we are doing MovieTime?!??
	11:35am Ken in Fort Worth: You mean queso-y
	11:35am steveo: handy you got more degrees than kevin bacon :)
	11:36am Frank In Queens: Dog Day is great. When Pacino was good.
	11:36am clarke: whooo-aahhhhh!!!
	11:36am Hughie Considine: John Cazale's performance was one for the ages.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: I love the Detectorists. One of the sweetest shows ever. As an audience of people devoted to an odd passion, you will love this show. This is a love song to people who have an obsession. Sound like anyone we know? This show is lovely.
	11:36am Uncle Michael: Detectorists is one of the best series I've ever seen.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Word, Uncle Michael!
	11:38am clarke: sounds like one might have to have the britbox to view this?
	11:38am Squints: RI PBS affiliate carried Detectorists a few years ago. They fellas weren't misanthropic so much as misandifferent. I feel that. Social interaction can be enjoyable for me. But it's always work.
	11:38am clarke: also - very john cale vocals here
	11:38am Uncle Michael: Michael, you and I are new the TWO DJs that have played this song.
	11:40am Mister Dobalina: I can't believe I'm this late the M.S. extravaganza.
	11:40am Michael Shelley: Two class acts!
	11:40am Frank In Queens: A very sparse viewing week for me because of way too many hockey games. A Fish Called Wanda and reruns of Laverne and Shirley.
	11:40am Handy Haversack: @Squints, exactly. So focused on the loved object -- detecting -- that regular human interaction is secondary. As a nerd with multiple fields of obsession, I totally understand where they are coming from.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: UM - maybe it was YOU who recommended it??? If so, thanks!
	11:41am clarke: instead of The Way Back i would recommend The Way Way Back - brilliant Film. i haven't seen wanda in a long time - but imagine it would hold up well.
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Finished rewatching season 2 of The Wire last night. There are no happy endings in the world we have allowed to be built. "Business. Always business." -- The Greek
	11:42am lukavino: this Sugar Stems is twisting my wig.
	11:42am Squints: I like being out and about. My chief contribution tends to be to not and grin a little dopily.
	11:42am Michael Shelley: The Wire - better than Sopranos!
	11:42am Squints: Er, to nod and grin dopily.
	11:42am clarke: how's the hockey shaping up frank? (sorry if this is a cruel question - i don't know much about the hockey)
	11:43am Squints: I've heard a great many Wire records. The singers feature no sopranos whatsover.
	11:44am clarke: methinks artist and song have been misplaced
	11:44am Frank In Queens: Lousy week, clarke. Isles blew a 3-1 series lead and were forced to Game 7 which is tonight. I'd rather be watching the 4K mastering of Flash Gordon this evening, BUT NOOOOOO!!!!
	11:45am clarke: well - theres still hope
	11:45am Squints: Buster Crabbe in 4K remastering would be something.
	11:46am clarke: nothing wrong a little game seven excitement, tho.
	11:46am Uncle Michael: If I did, Michael...you're welcome.
	11:46am steveo: this song is why i kiss everyone as soon as possible
	11:46am Frank In Queens: True, and all will be forgiven if they win. But it's really a win-win for me. If the Isles win, they make it to the Conference Finals for the first time in 27 years. If they lose, I don't have to watch this goddamm team again for months!
	11:47am clarke: i believe norman petty produced that Cords tune?
	11:48am clarke: i never had a dog in this race, but i pull for ya. what is on the Above/Low menu for game night?
	11:49am Frank In Queens: It's Greek Week in the "From Queens" household. Tonight is Fava Bean Sausages cooked in tomatoes and white win. Served with greens, of course.
	11:49am clarke: this is THE BESTEST!!
	11:50am Frank In Queens: *wine
	11:50am clarke: anthony hopkins droppin' by?
	11:51am Frank In Queens: You never can tell these days.
	11:51am clarke: 55555
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Chris was fantastic that night.
	11:53am clarke: hillman is great in my book - many find him to be a dick, but he is just frank (excuse pun, frank)
	11:54am Frank In Queens: Don't worry clarke, I've been called a dick before.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Sounds good, Frank! We had taco night last night. I had some seitan and Field Roast that I hoarded early that need to be used up, so there's left over fillings that I am going to have under eggs pretty damn soon here. Fun story: I went from a small liberal arts college quite close to here to a large midwestern state school for an MFA. When I was walking around looking for restaurant work the first week, I saw signs announcing the upcoming Greek Week. I was so excited at the idea that a community that large could get that excited about performances of Sophocles and Aristophanes ... I'm slow. But I get there. Sometimes.
	11:54am clarke: AND you have been called The New Hillman, before too!!
	11:55am MAL: the sweetheart of the rodeo tour last year was as good as it gets
	11:55am paul: If you only put one E in Merle, you're walking on the fighting side of me.
	11:56am Frank In Queens: Nice! We had tacos on Thursday night. Real simple; just beans and quinoa with fresh pico. Side of sauteed kale, of course.
	11:56am clarke: she's buying a vowel - takes a second!
	11:58am winston legthigh: hiya handy! pretty beat up from bourbon right now but will be watchin handy at 1:10 post time.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: Regarding Greek Week/Frat nonsense: My freshman year at Queens College, some guy came up to me asking if I wanted to "rush". Not knowing the lingo, I thought he was asking me something about the band Rush, who I am a fan of and who I might have very well been wearing a t-shirt of on that day, which prompted him to have to explain to me just what the hell he was talking about.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: Here's a MS-board-relevant-adjacent question: Are people still maintaining large grocery stockpiles and additionally trying to get to the stores less frequently? Or has shopping been normalized enough that no one is stressing about that anymore? winston! I'm putting a spiritual $5 WPS on my namesake, and boxed exactas with the two favorites. Let me know how I do! Ha, Frank, excellent. You get what I'm saying. Kate still can't believe how ignorant I was.
	12:00pm Frank In Queens: I promptly declined the offer.
	12:01pm clarke: a little of both for us - i have a supply of canned goods and hurricane prep stuff, but am going to grocery pretty regularly, too.
	12:01pm James in ATL: Ready for the good news for NRBQ fans in the new schedule!
	12:01pm Frank In Queens: I go out once a week for food and Christina does the same. That covers us week to week and we buy a little extra for the stockpile we're building for what we feel will be the inevitable sequel to the March lockdown.
	12:02pm clarke: i must concur frank - nothing's 'over'
	12:02pm Vt Knit Girl: Sent sent an email with a photo of the coasters.
	12:02pm Frank In Queens: However, I have had to make exceptions for unexpected beer runs.
	12:03pm clarke: those aren't coasters!!!!
	12:05pm ?: I work with a guy who tells us from time to time about his ex girlfriend, who kept all of her 'toys' in a hatbox.
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: Can't go wrong with a well-done Frank.
	12:06pm clarke: a well-done Frank!
	12:06pm Frank In Queens: The men don't know, but the little girls....well, they don't know either.
	12:07pm clarke: all of the girls like to dance, but only some of the guys do
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: NO ONE would have been smoking anything but tobacco in a club back then.
	12:09pm phat: Hatbox girls are a perennial bar phenomenon, with different names over the years.
	12:11pm phat: Chicks
	12:11pm Pedro in Arlington: The Wire was solid, especially it's use of Baltimore, but had frequent cop show cliches. There are only a handful of weak moments/episodes of The Sopranos.
	12:12pm clarke: anyone (else) catch the Lemon Twigs on the seth myers show this past week - they were GREAT, but i sat thru literally 7 mins of commercials to get to their performance!
	12:13pm clarke: (i am usually prone to exaggeration, but not in this case!)
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Just went out front, and I cannot remember the last time I saw this many parking spots open on our block. I guess everyone is gone for the weekend. It's nuts. Parking spots are worth more than toilet paper around here!
	12:15pm clarke: maybe you are omega-sack man
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: they have made Tv impossible to watch
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: clarke, it's not impossible! I'm gonna go ahead and start shedding inhibitions on spec!
	12:16pm clarke: yeah - i rarely am watching late-night TV but i want my 7 mins back!!
	12:17pm clarke: ha ha ha - go for it HH!!
	12:18pm clarke: this song has always been brilliance!!
	12:18pm steveo: the girls turn into gnomes, iirc
	12:18pm Hubig Pie: Brian Wilson on the TV last nite along with James Brown dancing on one leg
	12:18pm clarke: any luck finding info on mark eric?
	12:19pm clarke: oh yeah - tami show was on tcm
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Isn't this a Steve Stanley reissue? He could probably steer you to the guy.
	12:19pm steveo: i watched an episode of "love it or leave it" on HGTV; they almost always love it, btw
	12:20pm clarke: i have a good interview idea for ya: Elliott Easton
	12:20pm paul: This is as Beach Boys as it gets.
	12:20pm steveo: and i'm scheming to get a free trial of some kind of streaming service if and when my team makes it to the mlb playoffs
	12:21pm Ross T.: I gotta say pretty much with any Beach Boy/Brian Wilson homage -- Explorers Club, High Llama, Tradewinds even -- I'm in.
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: I have reached out on FB... no answer from Elliot
	12:21pm clarke: dang dang dang!
	12:22pm steveo: a child i nthe next room is approximating one-note samba on the keyboard, to add to the Heap
	12:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Looks like the Johnny Cash show airing tonight will feature The Monkees and Joni Mitchell.
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: steveo, everybody's team gonna make it to mlb playoffs, cept mine of course.
	12:23pm steveo: sorry hubig, you can borrow my team if you like
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: steveo, remember, everyone makes the playoffs this year -- even the Marlins. I'll warn you that MLB.TV will not show you local games. So if you are a Yankees or Mets fan, you'll find your teams' games blacked out. Because it is still 1950.
	12:23pm clarke: we'll never get to the world series, sadly, i don't think
	12:24pm Hackensack Slim: Songs the Church Keys taught us.
	12:25pm clarke: for free sports stream: StopStream (a lot of pop-ups, but get ad-block plus and don't give up)
	12:26pm steveo: i'm conveniently not a yankees or mets fan so i can get most of the games for a nominal annual fee
	12:26pm Squints: Gimme dat Beach Baby ding.
	12:26pm Rex: I know this guy!
	12:26pm steveo: it is dumb that it's still a monopoly for "cable" tv
	12:27pm clarke: REALLY? no one has a Single Of This Summer submission? c'mon gang!
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: clarke, also usagoals dot com. Same warnings.
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: The estate of Jean Sibelius sued the writers of the First Class single for copyright infringement. Don't mess with Sibelius!
	12:28pm paul: Why make a cover version that's almost a copy of the original?
	12:28pm efd: Logged in on my phone just to say I am bowled over by this version of “Beach Baby” every time I hear it.
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: Because he can.
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: Because it often sells more.
	12:29pm steveo: they say you can also use a proxy server to relay blacked out games, but i've not bothered with that (i also enjoy the radio broadcasts, go figure)
	12:29pm steveo: @paul because the record company owns the royalties on the original
	12:29pm Ross T.: I'm guessing there's a Tony Burrows interview floating around here somewhere....
	12:31pm steveo: (oh i didn't read very carefully @paul -- get me rewrite!)
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: I think I gonna jump on the Padres bandwagon
	12:33pm Frank In Queens: I'm getting there....
	12:33pm clarke: barbers do NOT f'in listen!!
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: My wife's haircutting skills have drastically improved since March.
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: This is the longest my hair has been since I was in my 20s.
	12:34pm scott: We have all been given opportunities to expand our skillset.
	12:34pm paul: @steveo, you had me wondering. :)
	12:34pm Cooh John: My best haircuts were by my mom for my first 24 years.
	12:34pm Hams: my barber gave me a mullet last week. had to have my mom fix it up.
	12:34pm Listener Scott: I just buzzed it all off. Probably saved a $100 since March.
	12:35pm Rich from Red Hook: Stick with the Ma-ber
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: I've only listened to a couple of games this season. I just have trouble revving up my enthusiasm this year. Maybe the playoffs will do it? But a season this short, a playoff field that broad -- I don't know that I can root for chance and hazard. And I find MLB the megacorporation even more disappointing than usual this year in its megacorporate choices.
	12:36pm Mister Dobalina: My haircut costs $10 and looks good too.
	12:37pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I got a nice haircut this morning. Still no razor for the neck clean-up, though, and that's the best part.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: Been buzzing it all off every few weeks since ... 1994?
	12:37pm steveo: counterpoint: chance and hazard can be fun
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: & if you want to get really frugal, you can go to the place that is training people to get their haircut license. Student barbers?
	12:37pm steveo: the free man on 2nd for extra innings is pretty bonkers, for example
	12:38pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Handy I've been pretty committed to the baseball this year. As usual, I guess. Although, it's not the same, for sure.
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Acknowledged, steveo -- that's what the NFL is for, though! I hear you, I hear you. I just haven't found the get-up-and-go yet.
	12:38pm clarke: true - hope Baby is ok. was last week.
	12:38pm steveo: i'm not judging :)
	12:38pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Anybody watching hockey?
	12:39pm clarke: frank
	12:40pm paul: Yes. Go Bolts!
	12:41pm scott: You bees buzzing, you alerted me to Pseu way back, cross-pollination is healthy.
	12:42pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Does the lack of fans dampen your enthusiasm?
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: I firmly believe that Pseu's Thing with a Hook would please most fans of the Michael Shelley show. Thursdays at noon.
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: @Geoffrey in Ottawa, NY Rangers fan here. I have never been so happy to lose in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It got us the first overall pick and Alexis Lafreniere.
	12:43pm Squints: I'm happy enough that for the 26th season in a row, no team from Canada will win Lord Stanley's cup. And nor will one until the league rights the wrong and returns the NHL to Quebec City like it did for Winnipeg.
	12:43pm paul: You asking me, Geoffrey? If so, yes.
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: Geoffrey, not in the slightest. I don't even notice and not because of the piped in crowd noise.
	12:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Last two haircuts were this past June and before that last December. Have not shaved since March. I realize I have a ways to go to catch up to Dave Sewelson.
	12:44pm Squints: Diggin' hard this Rationals ditty.
	12:44pm Ross T.: Agree on Thing with a Hook, Hughie -- top shelf FMU.
	12:45pm Ross T.: Bongo Feet! I can go now.
	12:45pm clarke: dang this sounds like manfred mann - with bongo feet!
	12:45pm Tim In SF: Speaking of haircuts and barbershops, ever wonder why the red, white and blue cylinder (sometimes rotating) came to represent barbershops?
	12:45pm Moammar: Feet don't fail me now!
	12:45pm KWilde: Flintstone!
	12:46pm scott: Sweeney Todd?
	12:46pm Moammar: @TimInSf: Arteries, veins and bandages, right?
	12:47pm swk: Loving the guitar in this song
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: @me, Geoffrey? No. It's MLB's cack-handed responses to COVID, the naked money grabbing of the owners at the risk of the lives not just of players but of the much more working-class clubhouse and grounds personnel. MLB proves again and again it will do the least possible to safeguard lives or take a stand against injustice as long as the cash keeps flowing. Its antilabor positions toward its own employees and product and the minor leagues just depresses me. I love the game. I hate the league. Usually once the games start up I can get over it enough to get enthused. This year, less so.
	12:48pm paul: How much to have a bagel, lox and cream cheese delivered to Florida? (I tip well.)
	12:49pm scott: Hand that man a hockey stick, get in the game dude.
	12:49pm DeemerDave: Love Sniff n' the Tears! Thanks Michael!
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: Maimi has good deli food
	12:49pm Ross T.: I wonder if Sniff has been playing the oldies circuit with a back up band of 20-somethings.
	12:50pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Alvy--Ottawa Senators should have had that pick. What a racket.
	12:50pm Squints: "Mr. Sniff requests your presence backstage."
	12:50pm paul: You're right, Michael. But i'm in Tarpon Springs.
	12:50pm clarke: ross - i just saw Tommy James with the "new" shondells on pbs - tommy was GREAT - backing band not so cool
	12:50pm Tim In SF: @Moammar, haha...at one point in time the majority couldn't read "barbershop" (i.e. were illiterate) but they could identify that rotating red white and blue sign. Still around after all these centuries.
	12:51pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Handy You'll get no argument from me re the league, but I am glad they're playing ball this year. Don't you think the NFL is even worse? They're proceeding as though everything is normal.
	12:51pm Cooh John: My theme song back in the day playing euchre with the guys. BTW, me and my Jenny just celebrated 36 years together.
	12:52pm paul: Even Broward County has good delis, but not Pinellas.
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: @Geoff, no doubt. Total fix. The guy controlling the ping pong balls looked right at the machine when he hit the button. But don't worry, Lafreniere will be a good player, but he's not a generational talent like Crosby or McDavid were.
	12:52pm Squints: @clarke, I wonder if those were the guys he had playing with him doing the melody tents two summers ago. I thought the band was fine. I was a little abashed not to have known TJ had written "Tighter, Tighter."
	12:53pm scott: This songs fits well with 'You Make me Crazy' by Utopia.
	12:53pm Alvy Singer: @ Geoffrey--That racket has set the Pittsburgh Penguins up quite nicely dating back to Mario Lemieux.
	12:53pm Frank Zaatar: I saw the VH1 episode: "As the Tears thought about striking out on their own, Sniff began his long descent into a nightmare of drugs."
	12:53pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Alvy I was surprised the Pens didn't end up with the first pick.
	12:54pm clarke: i don't know - was the keyboard player wildly dancing badly around?
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: @Geoffrey -- I do! The NBA is the only league that I think has even made meaningful efforts at any sort of responsibility. Keep in mind: I know absolutely nothing about hockey. The closest I come if loving Letterkenny.
	12:54pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Frank Ottawa needs an attendance boost and A.L. might have provided that.
	12:55pm Squints: Not that I recall, clarke. But a rotating stage in the tent dinna give the band a lot of room.
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: The first thing the Sens need is a new owner. The new owners have done wonders for the Isles!
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: Whoa dang, look at the time! Thanks, Michael! This totally reasonably sized drink's for you! Thanks, Ruth! Be well, all. Glad to see you for another Saturday.
	12:56pm paul: Tampa Bay wins the Stanley Cup, World Series and Super Bowl. You heard it here first.
	12:56pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Handy NBA and NHL have both done well in that regard, I think. For what it's worth, I'm glad the Canadian gov't told the Blue Jays they couldn't play here. Political decision or not, it sure seemed like the right one especially as the season began.
	12:56pm Alvy Singer: @ Geoffrey Or why not just gift him to the Maple Leafs. Half of their payroll is dedicated to 4 skill players. Look who is left in the playoffs and there is no top heavy skill team left.
	12:56pm clarke: tommy sure looks like a mutant, but he was rocking a grand Jazzmaster - through twin stereo fenders
	12:57pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Frank No question and given the acrimony locally toward the current owner, you've gotta figure it's coming.
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: @Paul, this might finally be the year for this Lightning team. Especially if you draw Philly in the Conference Final.
	12:57pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Paul Not that far-fetched.
	12:57pm scott: How could so harmony and chaos exist in one mind, missing Emitt.
	12:57pm Alvy Singer: @ Geoffrey--For your sake I hope Melnyk doesn't destroy what is left of a passionate fan base.
	12:58pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hello hockey fans.
	12:58pm radioronan: Thanks Michael.. thanks skeletons..
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: @Alvy, if the #1 prospect was a defenseman, then Toronto would've been gifted the pick. They don't need more scoring, they need to keep the puck out of their net.
	12:58pm clarke: RIP emmitt - fine show here AGAIN. danke - one month til The Rocktobah!!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: I buy it, @paul!
	12:58pm paul: It really could happen.
	12:58pm Squints: Ohhhhhh, lady!
	12:58pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Alvy A lot will depend on the draft, I'd assume.
	12:59pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Thanks, Michael. Have a great day, everyone!
	12:59pm paul: Peace. Stay safe.
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! Fun chatting with everyone today. Let's Go Isles!
	1:00pm Ross T.: Thanks Michael. Now back to work on my Sniff bio,
	1:00pm Cooh John: CKLW!
	1:01pm Michael Shelley: THANKS ALL FOR HANGING IN!
