Reporting for duty! I had my hair done earlier today. It really looks great under my radio hat.

Lolabelle Pancake:

Today Courtney will explain what I mean when I say that he is "credentialed in certain modalities." That's fancy talk for "He's good at what he does."

Hi, Laura. I don't think Irwin posted that comment. Rumor has it that his WFMU account was hacked and taken over by a Russian bot.

Miss Pancake is always raring to go here, hours ahead of time. Mayde her boyfriend is at work all day. Or maybe she's widowed.
Avatar 5:55pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

That photo is from 2012. Courtney will not go back there. They were enjoying his "nostalga" records until he dropped the needle on a certain Lucille Bogan platter. Suddenly they were throwing cheap produce at him. He got hit in the face with a rutabaga.

Fabio is droning on. Or I mean his music is...

I thought that was a malfunctioning test of the Emergency Alert System.

Lolabelle, at least a rootabaga isn't as messy as a cabbage roll would have been.

Yes, Buttermanboy, this is your request!

Imz special! It’s not easy to get on Courtney’s good side. I musta done sumptin right!

Oh I’ve been donating for 20 years

Lolabelle Pancake:

Keep donating. "For the children," of course.

Fabios Pennsylvania Lawyer:

Fabio has tithed all of his FMU salary to Black Lives Matter. Just cause you have a problem with it, that's not his fault.
Avatar 6:16pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney says: Black Platters Matter!

Lothianman:

Give you a moment of freedom and you revert right back

Liar! Courtney said "All platters matter"

This will not go away

Weren't The Platters way later than Courtney's music-listening period?

Not all, only the ten inches, anything more is a waste, is the motto.

Listener Robert:

At 78 RPM, you know the centrifugal force that'd be produced on the outer portion of a larger than 10" record?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:21pm
G:

I heard Courtney claims he's over ten inches of centripetal force.
Avatar 6:22pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney just instructed me that I'm "not allowed to go there."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:24pm
G:

Who told O.C. about the recent-vintage phrase "don't go there"? And got him to start using it?
Avatar 6:24pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney is very hep to modern lingo!

O.C. is O.G., yo.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:25pm

Courtney keeps up. Don't mistake his preferences for ignorance of what's what.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:26pm
coelacanth∅:

but Lucille Bogan probably would go there
Avatar 6:26pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney picks up new terminology by listening closely to what people say. He insists, "You need to study languaging. It's how you word. Once you learn how to sentence, you can speech."

Isn't this soundtrack what they now call "World Music"?
  6:35pm
Listener Robert:

The Frog's Wikipedia entry shows him co-starring with a very obvious Mickey Mouse rip-off.

wendy del formaggio:

@Ultradamno: Thank you! The terms are (almost) always made very clear in the beginning. What’s the problem with that?

Thank you, Lolabelle! I had a feeling Courtney was just pretending to have morals.
  6:44pm
wendy del formaggio:

@G: Thank you, but no Constitution is needed for this transaction.

The Butterman:

Uhhhhh Courtney, I think the station moved. Haven’t you noticed no one else is there at the old studio?

Looking constipated has been known to elicit sympathy though. Which is how some persist in incorrect pouting.
