	11:08am TDK60: Hi Dennis D. It was a Soupy Sales revue at the old Paramount Theater on Times Square. Also, Erma Franklin, The Hollies, etc. Oh, Soupy did "Do The Mouse" -his dance smash hit. The Hullabaloos had long hair for 1965!
	11:08am disgraceddavefromtoronto: i can't believe i got blacklisted from my 2nd favourite show! i'm so ashamed...
	11:08am clarke: BABY !! it's a Golden mawnin'!
	11:09am Listener Baby: Baby.. Good?
	11:09am McGroovey: Oh, now you're sending me into a Jim-Ford-obsessive streak. I haven't pulled him out in a while. ... (That sounds like a double entendre.)
	11:09am Gordon FM: Golden indeed. It's just Clarlkin with GOLD.
	11:10am spodiodi: good morning, Michael Shelley and #1 people!
	11:10am MFlynn: Been waiting all morning for this! Hi Michael!! And hi Jack!!!!!
	11:10am Gordon FM: *Clarklin' that is
	11:10am clarke: trying to figure out what's that in the background in that coaster photo - on the floor?
	11:11am Listener Baby: I hope I’m the only one about to have a crew grind concrete in the house, first thing in the morning. Luckily, I have a place to hide.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: "Cornbread is something people eat a lot in songs." Nods sagely. Yo, spodi! Hey, McGroovey, clarke!
	11:12am Hoboken Jack: Hey-ho Dennis, MFlynn, Spodes, dirty McGroove. Dang I love that Cyclones song.
	11:12am spodiodi: Landline!
	11:12am clarke: HH! assume it is stormy on east coast? sunny in noir'lens
	11:12am Robbie White: Boston Market gives you cornbread with your chicken platter
	11:12am spodiodi: hihi, Jack!
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Jack, I ordered that jangle comp, but it has not yet arrived, consarnit! clarke, yeah, it's a gale! Sideways rain. Supposed to end this afternoon and then start getting cold.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: The weather is shit up here Clarke.
	11:13am McGroovey: And ugh... I put the Strum & Thrum CD version in my Bandcamp cart, but didn't pull the trigger, and it sold out, so I put the LP version in my cart and didn't pull the trigger, and it sold out. So now I've saved $30 or $40, but I have no Strum or Thrum.
	11:14am TDK60: Yeah, those old theater reviews. Each act would have about 10 or 15 minutes.
	11:14am clarke: we sent you that from down here frank
	11:14am Dean: Capers?
	11:14am paul: no tomato?
	11:14am Frank In Queens: Yeah, thanks for that!
	11:15am bbxtina: Hello just poppin in to say hi from Montreal, town of the TRUE bagel
	11:15am Frank In Queens: Actually, it doesn't really matter. I pretty much spend all day Saturday listening to FMU anyway.
	11:15am Dean: Used to be a joint in suburban LA County that did a wonderful bagel and smoked salmon.
	11:15am lily: sounds like montreal bagels to me ... yum
	11:15am Handy Haversack: Kate likes it with just tomato and onion. Frank, I take some comfort in the knowledge that Boston is getting it much worse than us.
	11:15am spodiodi: haha bbx
	11:15am Dennis Diken: @TDK60 - were Little Richard and Shirley Ellis also on that bill? The Exciters?
	11:16am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:16am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1 hitters.
	11:16am steveo: good morning. the clicky-star I just added is not only for this song, but also for the little bagel chat preceding
	11:17am clarke: a nor'easter is not TOO bad until it is a snowfilled one
	11:17am McGroovey: Le pretzel, le bagel : c'est un continuum.
	11:17am spodiodi: hi GregfZ5, Cooh, steveo
	11:17am Frank In Queens: I think NYC will be spared the snow. Surrounding areas, not so much.
	11:18am clarke: i used to be a caper
	11:18am WaffleMix: Whole wheat everything
	11:18am bbxtina: Yesss yess everythingbagel with cream cheese and bacon
	11:18am Handy Haversack: The gang's all here! And now I have to do the dishes. Oh, life.
	11:18am WaffleMix: Capers are a bit extra
	11:18am clarke: now THAT place gets the brunt of the nor'easter!
	11:19am spodiodi: the great muppet caper for me, please
	11:19am steveo: i may head down to the cemetery to see if it's snowing at the higher elevations
	11:19am Gordon FM: right with you on bagel choices, Michael. Sesame first, then Errthing. But I'd still knosh on a bialy before a bagel any day.
	11:19am steveo: hi spod
	11:20am WaffleMix: Omg reminds me of whole wheat pecan waffles
	11:21am lilith: poppyseed bagels with butter and swiss cheese...
	11:21am McGroovey: It's oh so merry, in the cemetery, [something something something something] toooombstoness What's that song?... Oh, Eugene Chadbourne... Not really a Michael Shelley-appropriate artist.
	11:21am clarke: a bit off topic, but the first time my band hit nyc, i stood in line at an east side deli and naively ordered a Nish (with the K silent, ha ha)....
	11:22am myron feld: Born and bred NYer here, and I never thought anything could top a NYC bagel. Then I went to Montreal....oh my.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: It's Christmas decoration day! But first, more coffee and radio.
	11:22am Hoboken Jack: McGroove, why not buy the digital version on Bandcamp? Over the coming months I'll photocopy the booklet and liner notes for you. Actually I just looked at the label site and you can pre-order the vinyl re-press: www.omnianmusicgroup.com...
	11:22am Hughie Considine: There's a great and easy recipe for homemade baglels on Boing Boing that I've been using for years since I moved to NC, where there are no great bagels.
	11:22am clarke: ... the guy behind the counter dryly chuckles. he says "hey nick, dis guy wants a fuggin' Nish!"
	11:22am WaffleMix: Hmm I am one of those no good pizza or bagels outside NYC/NJ
	11:23am Frank Zaatar: Bagels aren't really Israeli. In Israel they use the word for a wide ring of bread which is actually a Palestinian snack. If you go to Brick Lane in London you get a small, soft "beigel."
	11:24am Grey Poupon: Bagel? What's a Bagel?
	11:24am Hoboken Jack: Hey there Greg!
	11:24am clarke: americans corrupt ever'thang
	11:25am Frank In Queens: I don't believe I've had a bagel in the year 2020.
	11:25am clarke: i know i haven't
	11:25am spodiodi: same here, Frank In Queens
	11:25am Frank In Queens: I really only have bagels a few times a year anyway, but 2020 hasn't really afforded me the opportunity to have any.
	11:26am Rockfish: Long live the Q!
	11:26am Hughie Considine: Bialys are where it's at though. The bialy moment is yet to come, but I have faith.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: Clarke, based on your location, that's perfectly acceptable. Play to your area's strengths!
	11:27am clarke: 2o2o corrupts ever'thang too
	11:27am McGroovey: Oh, that preorder was on Bandcamp yesterday also... Guess I better hurry and pull that trigger.
	11:27am TDK60: Dennis D. They were on the bill. But I forget if they were there that day. I forget! (Could I forget Little Richard?!) Maybe I was only there for part of it. Maybe each act didn't play every day. But is has been a while since then.....
	11:27am Mister Dobalina: There is a bagel spot on University Place in nYc that on Monday's after 3pm, the bagels are 55¢.
	11:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Jack!
	11:28am Pedro in Arlington: Yes to bagels from Montreal, home of those other fine Jewish exports Cohen and Shatner.
	11:28am clarke: there IS a philly style deli in new orleans - not bad, but i wouldn't try a bagel there.
	11:28am McGroovey: It's just that I have to watch my money because I bid on a guitar neck on eBay, and I was expecting to lose, but now it seems like I'm going to win.
	11:28am clarke: JUPE!!!
	11:29am McGroovey: I lived near the Bagel Hole for a whole in the nineties. I don't really remember it, but I do remember that I could buy bagels there.
	11:30am jt: Really miss the original 'Ess-A -Bagel' on 21st and 1st..was THE destination Bagel spot for many for decades.. they moved and are still okay btw..
	11:30am clarke: ok you guys have made me hungry.
	11:30am Dean: There's a Montreal-style deli here in Berkeley, but no bagels. They smoke their own brisket.
	11:31am Peter from Dover NJ: Now you've got me totally jonesing for a bagel and a schmeer. Great show.
	11:31am myron feld: Most bagels everywhere are just oversized bread pieces now, but Utopia Bagels in Queens is still great.
	11:31am TDK60: Dennis D. There is an article one can search online about the Soupy S. revues.
	11:31am clarke: i am NOT fed up
	11:31am Frank In Queens: Artisan bagels sound like a goddamn nightmare.
	11:31am WaffleMix: Sounds like a reason to go to Montreal- never been...
	11:32am clarke: it's the water, frank!!
	11:32am myron feld: @WaffleMix: truly fabulous small bagels in MTL. And the chocolate babka at Cheskie's is the best I ever had.
	11:32am jt: I have heard very good things about. those "bagels from Montreal"... been meaning to get up there...
	11:32am Handy Haversack: Dishes are done, dudes. This is the first day in a long time when I am basically unstructured time all day! No freelance work, no poker game, no appointments of any kind. Just me and time! Well, also Kate once she gets back from band practice. I barely know what to do with myself! And not a bagel in sight.
	11:33am Mister Dobalina: H&H bagels on the upper west, had the yummiest blueberry bagels, especially when they fresh & piping hot.
	11:33am McGroovey: I love bialys: better than bagels. There's nowhere near me to buy them, sadly. There was somewhere in Brooklyn where I used to get them, and later the Wegmans near my house in Rochester had them, but I don't live in Brooklyn or Rochester anymore.
	11:33am Michael in Montclair: Hopefully, sometime after this storm of a pandemic passes, I hope to make a pilgrimmage from NJ to Montreal for a St-Viateur vs. Fairmount bagel taste test.
	11:33am Hoboken Jack: Frank, I've likely had more bagels in 2020 than in any other year.
	11:34am Michael Shelley: and pizza
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Mmmmm, bialys. Kossars Hot Bialys for $0.35 ea. in the early nineties definitely contributed to my survival at the time.
	11:34am Biba McLurex: SE corner of 2nd Ave & 43rd, Chelsea Bagels. They have egg bagels, even.
	11:34am Frank Zaatar: @Pedro, +1 on Montreal bagels. You can get a pretty good approximation at Black Seed in NYC.
	11:35am Corey: Bagel Hole is my wife's favorite. My vote is for Absolute on the UWS. Securing a late night bagel was my first move when I visited Montreal last year. Did not disappoint.
	11:35am McGroovey: My wife went and bought bagels this morning. I'm delaying taking mine to type and type. And I need to make my coffee without which etc etc
	11:35am clarke: assuming that this is a neighborhood thang? everyone staying local?
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Jack, I bet. There's just no bagel joints in this part of Queens.
	11:35am WaffleMix: @myron good vegetarian scene? Sounds like some diary kosher which is good for me.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Baker's Dozen in Greenpoint is pretty good, bagelwise. Not H&H quality, but quite good.
	11:36am clarke: i forgot about the horns in Bright Lights
	11:36am TDK60: Never knew about Montreal bagels. You can learn stuff on the WFMU board. I have been to Absolute Bagels on the Upper West Side.
	11:36am WaffleMix: Think I'm putting together my first post- Covid trip!
	11:36am Frank In Queens: WaffleMix, MTL has an ace veggie/vegan scene. Check out Aux Vivre!
	11:37am MFlynn: I haven’t found a decent bagel out here in Reading, PA.
	11:37am TDK60: Forgot to mention, The Hollies were fab at the Paramount!
	11:37am clarke: bobby elliot? one of the greatest!!
	11:37am daytona madison: glendale bagels in queens— easily the best in nyc
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Very much looking forward to the Bobby Elliot interview.
	11:38am clarke: i think dave barry plays on some hollies hits
	11:38am xtrakrispy: I live by Kossar’s and get my bagels and bialys here often They have gone up and down over the last few years but are currently on an upswing. The bialys are great, the bagels better than most.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Glendale Bagels is just a BIT out of the way for me.
	11:38am Frank Zaatar: @MFlynn--no but don't you get pretzels at Wawa?
	11:39am egould310: Nailed the bongo feet perfectly.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: I feel like I have heard about some family drama with Kossar's over the last decade or so, xtrakrispy? But I owe that place a lot for keeping my going!
	11:39am WaffleMix: I'll bet Montreal has some great waffles too
	11:40am xtrakrispy: I’m a BIG fan of the Montreal bagel and consider them superior in many ways to the NY style. Black Seed Bagels do a VERY good Montreal style here in NYC and have multiple locations.
	11:40am daytona madison: utopia bagels is always very disappointing to me
	11:40am bbxtina: For a small fee of your unwavering devotion, I will mail ya’ll Montreal bagels. I just can’t guarantee how much mole will have grown on them by the time they reach you. I mailed a loaf of bread to my Philly friend this summer and it had arms and legs by the time it got to her.
	11:41am bbxtina: But it’s winter now, so it’s like free refrigeration
	11:41am Pedro in Arlington: Proof that Canadians are quite smart and more than capable of fantastic bagels: they're keeping the border closed. Also, Jackie Robinson broke the pro color barrier first with the Montreal Royals. And Bob Dylan's incredible houndstooth suit for the 66 tour was made in Toronto.
	11:41am TDK60: Hey Handy, down in Kings County.
	11:42am xtrakrispy: Hey Handy. Yeah, word is there has been a lot of turnover with ownership. Not sure of the exact dynamics but I can attest to the bagels going downhill in 2018-19 and getting much better in 2019-to date.
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Reelin' In The Years has a fantastic Hollies DVD, for those interested.
	11:42am Michael in Montclair: @xtrakrispy, I've heard about Black Seed Bagels and want to try out their bagels. One of the co-founders/co-owners is a native Montrealler who is the former owner of the Mile End Deli, a MTL-style deli in Brooklyn.
	11:43am Gabagool: Shoutout to Northern NJ bagels as the best bagels. Change my mind canada.
	11:43am xtrakrispy: I also love that there is Bialystoker Street here in my ‘hood. Word is that was where the guy who stoked the fire for the wood fire oven that cooked the bialys.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: TDK60, \\ //_. How fares your insular city of the Manhattoes, girdled round by wharves like Indian isles by coral reefs? xtrakrispy, the continuity and ability to talk about the place in 2020 after first going there in 1993 makes the city feel like a cozy small town sometimes!
	11:43am clarke: you're flatting dear!
	11:44am jt: + on Kossars Hot Bialys.. that place is special. I was in the other day.. after a long absence..since it's in Manhattan & I live on the other side of the bridge in Bklyn hadn't been there since March, keeping it all very local. I was Happy to say: "Three Bialys please" As the woman handed me the bag she said, "Two more fell in the bag.." and only charged me for the 3, Ah, Manhattan, I've missed you....
	11:44am Frank In Queens: www.discogs.com...
	11:44am Handy Haversack: Hell yeah, @jt.
	11:45am JG: MAn I want a bialy now
	11:46am JG: Makin do w a homemade waffle
	11:46am Montmaster J: There was a place in Carroll Gardens near the train station-on Smith...that was a total hole in the wall but they had the best bagels......probably long gone.
	11:48am kpf: When I lived in south slope in the 90s the bagel hole was the absolute best. And I went to kossars the other day for a bialy and was so disappointed! They've really gone down in quality (and up in price)
	11:48am Cat: Patsy, the pride of Winchester, Virginia. Diggin the show, Michael. Seasons greetings.
	11:49am yetibob: Montreal bagels don't impress me. NYC has the best. In chicago Steingold's deli has the best ones I've had
	11:49am McGroovey: Oh, there was a great bagel place I used to go to when I lived in Carroll Gardens. Maybe that's the place,
	11:50am yetibob: there's also a place in Miami that advertises they use water trucked in from NYC. great bagels
	11:50am Mister Dobalina: I'm confused, who's kissin' who?
	11:50am Gordon FM: don't ship moles in the mail, kids.
	11:50am McGroovey: That was @montmaster j. Comments are rolling fast.
	11:50am Pedro in Arlington: Handy and McGroovey and jt speak the truth: A good bialy kicks arse and hasn't been co-opted by supermarkets, Dunkin and spellcheck. But those guys in FoW's "New Routine" should have finished their bagels.
	11:51am clarke: thought patsy cline was from Frederick, MD?
	11:51am Montmaster J: It was right near the Carroll St Station on Smith....I don't think it even had a sign....but this was way back....80s....I am getting old.
	11:52am Brian in Charlottesville: I believe she was from Winchester, VA.
	11:52am McGroovey: Well, Wegmans is a super market, but they usually get things right. Most stores have a bakery. Some stores have an excellent, wide-ranging bakery.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: I was completely content with my bowl of Cheerios for breakfast until this show started....
	11:52am Handy Haversack: YB, last time I was in Chicago was with two NYC friends. We were walking, hmm, just north of the river maybe around Wabash? And we saw a deli with a sign called NYC Bagels or something similar. My friend Manny stops dead still and says, "Now that just pisses me off! That's our thing! Find your own thing, Chicago!" Then we went to a bar. True. Story.
	11:52am yetibob: hey Handy, I'm at the brewhouse making a porter. will send you a pic in a bit
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Nice, YB!
	11:53am yetibob: HH: The NYC Bagel place is just OK. But the employees are super nice
	11:53am Montmaster J: Speaking of Carroll Gardens our host used to live near Cammareri bakery....they had good stuff!
	11:54am Dean: Looks like there is still (at least a year ago) a Line Bagels in that Carroll Gardens neighborhood: https://goo.gl/maps/JySn5oy9oduPKjyy7
	11:54am S_Rah: Homemade bagels!!!!!? What? I’m making them right now lol
	11:54am yetibob: if you show up near closing time and they just give them away ... order 6 and get 18
	11:55am Pedro in Arlington: Patsy Cline, definitely from Winchester, VA and you can stop by her grave heading into town. Sadly she was not at all the pride of the place, having a reputation that now is nothing but sexist and irrelevant.
	11:55am spodiodi: open tambourine mic? seems loud
	11:55am yetibob: which is generous but what do you do with 18 bagels?
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Head to the undercity under the hotels there and distribute?
	11:55am S_Rah: My sis moved to Chicago and started making her own when she couldn’t find any good ones. I’ve made soft pretzels and tortillas from scratch and decided today to ask for her bagel recipe. 3-6 more minutes in the oven and fingers crossed . WFMU always with the mind reading xoxoxoxo
	11:56am Mister Dobalina: 14th street Union Square can be quiet the madhouse!
	11:56am JG: Carrol Gardens has the world's best pizza(really), Carroll and Henry. Lucali. Usually an hour or two hour wait for one of there 10 tables. Wood burning ovens. Homemade pepperoni. Unbelievable sauce and crust. If you can wait to get in, try it. Its serious pizza. Lucali
	11:56am TDK60: Was just on 14th St. yesterday. Not as many humans as the Before days. But still, had to walk round Union Square. There was a farmers market.
	11:56am ChrisB.: Michael, you just sent my wife out of the house in search of a bagel and lox.
	11:56am Gordon FM: Montmaster, I think it was Bergen Bagels in Carroll Gardens, no?
	11:57am McGroovey: Yeah, we have three decent bagel places near us: #1 in Guttenberg, #2 in Edgewater, #3 in Fort Lee--numbered by proximity, not quality, but they're all good. My wife goes, not me, so I'm the beggar, not the chooser.
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: Don't go back to Rockville, Michael.
	11:57am Listener Robert: OK, I had to jump on after Mr. Shelley called my attention to someone's comment here. Making bagels at home might not be that hard, but hard enough that it takes more doing to get right than most baking. At least from my attempts, results were only so-so and I haven't wanted to spend the effort to get reliably good at it. Is there a shortcut?
	11:58am McGroovey: There was a great little store that made fresh pasta and sauce. Hmmmmm that was good.
	11:58am phat: To this day I'm bummed Sylvain Sylvain canceled the show he was supposed to play here in Lincoln years ago. Canceled that tour, I think.
	11:59am Gordon FM: Bergen Bagels has been there forever
	11:59am TDK60: Do they eat bagels in Winchester, Virginia?
	11:59am Pedro in Arlington: Skokie for bagels in Chicagoland.
	11:59am McGroovey: My son makes bagels occasionally. He got them right on the first try. He's crazy-careful about following recipes. I'm more of an improviser.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: There was a bar around the corner from us for years, a real local's boozer, called the Mark Bar (2003-2015 maybe? 2016?), and on Sundays they would get a big bag of bagels and put out a spread and free copy of the paper. And those community bagels at a local bar are some of the best, at least in the glow of memory. Man, I miss that bar. $3 pints, dart board, pool table, and you could bring the dog.
	12:00pm yetibob: s_rah: your sister might like Steingold's
	12:00pm Montmaster J: Hi Gordon...Could be...all I remember is that it was a tiny place right near the Carroll stop...and it was a mess...youl could see the bagels being made...
	12:01pm clarke: i guess patsy cline lived in Frederick when she got married
	12:01pm Listener Robert: Especially not worth the effort when I can get good ones around here. it was more a matter of seeing I could do it. Not like pizza, which I quickly came to like homemade better than what I can buy, just because my taste in pizza is different from most people's.
	12:01pm Pedro in Arlington: Bethesda for bagels in our nation's capital.
	12:01pm Juke Joint Jonny: Lot a soul under that cheap looking rug
	12:03pm JSF: Michael - look up the word Artesian and see what it means.
	12:04pm Tyler H: note: "artisan" is not pronounced like "artesian"
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, dba in the East Village used to do the bagel thing on Sundays as well. I've had a couple of Boddington's breakfasts there in years past.
	12:04pm JSF: there is another word starting with A that you're thinking of.. hint - it begins 'art' too
	12:04pm yetibob: @pedro: yeah skokie is good but too far from here. you don't have to go that far for a good bagel
	12:04pm Dean: They do say bagel making is all about the water...
	12:04pm TDK60: Yeah, Junior Wells! Same blueds generation as Buddy Guy. I think I recall a duo LP they did.
	12:05pm clarke: they toured together quite often tdk
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Frank, yeah, I know dba. Or knew, at least. Greenpoint has almost entirely run out of affordable bars. Or you know, had. I have no clue what's going to be left standing. Coming soon: Nine banks.
	12:06pm clarke: but junior was a generation before buddy
	12:06pm Dean: In Los Angeles during the punk years, late '70s, the de rigueur stop on the trip home from a show was Brooklyn Bagel shop: https://www.brooklynbagella.com/
	12:06pm suzyhotrod: Hello, Michael Shelley! Just checking in to say thanks for Saturday “morning” music. I decadently just got up. If anyone has water questions, the NYC shocker is our amazing water comes from many different sources in upstate watersheds that each have their own flavor. BAM! NYC factoid delivered.
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: Nine MORE banks...
	12:07pm TDK60: Thanks clarke! Older than Guy. I can learn stuff here.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Ah, love this EC track! A real ear worm for me. @suzy: you can even paddle around on some of them!
	12:07pm xtrakrispy: @TDK60 The USQ farmers markets is one of the best I’ve been anywhere in the world and I travel to Italy and France often. I do almost all of my shopping there. I know the names of most of my farmers be they meat, fish, veg or fruit. THe rule is they must be no more than 150 miles from NYC (depending on which direction).
	12:08pm Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Suzy! I visited the great big reservoir up there and I can vouch for its crystal-clear-mountain-ness.
	12:09pm xtrakrispy: @suzy I had every intention of going to Ottos the other night but the weather kept me in. Next time for sure.
	12:09pm Gordon FM: aaah Montmaster - maybe it was Line Bagels. Bergen is further down but not sure if Line was there back then. I was there in the 90s
	12:10pm clarke: they had to close when you moved away!
	12:11pm suzyhotrod: I dropped my hard hat into the Ashokan Reservoir once. A helpful person retrieved it thankfully. Hey, Greg! @xtrakrispy: With rain the bar can only seat a few people with safe social distance so next time I hope for a first Friday January polar bear gathering at the outdoor seating
	12:12pm Rex: This was proudly played on Bay Area oldies radio!
	12:12pm clarke: my all-time number one number one
	12:13pm Moammar: Them bongos!
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: Oh, jeez, we have not been to Otto's in a long while. Sigh. I put a small bit of cider in the Ashokan when paddling around on it. Have been waiting to taste it in a glass of water here, but, you know. It's a big reservoir!
	12:13pm TDK60: I do recall this bein' on the Top 40 radio, played a lot. (Byrds meets Dylan in the garage. Love too?)
	12:13pm LP Stevenson: Love this. So cocky yet so cucky
	12:13pm clarke: this pressing sounds a bit 'off'??
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: OK, MS, I'm going to cut my hair. Play sharp tunes!
	12:14pm McGroovey: Oh, I haven't made cornbread in a while...
	12:14pm Tim: Indeed, from San Jose.Played my Junior Prom. Only knew about 10 songs...sang Hey Little Girl 3 times. Why not?
	12:14pm Gordon FM: I did not eat a lot of bagels until I became a tourist again. I ate chinatown lo-mein and pizza.
	12:15pm Pedro in Arlington: Best onion rings in Jersey: Holsten's in Bloomfield, as far as Tony is concerned.
	12:15pm goes211: @Michael...careful, you'll be talking about Taylor Ham before you know it!
	12:16pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Pedro: Far be it from me to contradict Tony, but that's a bunch of hooey. Holsten's onion rings pale in comparison to Rutt's Hutt.
	12:16pm Lizardner Dave !: Yeah I guess steak and eggs has replaced ham and eggs probably because the cuts of beef diners use for the steak are now cheaper than pork.
	12:16pm Hubig Pie: Grits 'n' gravy , dammit !
	12:17pm TDK60: xtrakrispy at 12:07. Yeah, that's a great farmer market. Also, a similar one is up by the Museum of Natural History, on Sundays. I have some farmer pals from up the Hudson.
	12:18pm Juke Joint Jonny: I don't think that lady should be in the service industry
	12:18pm Gordon FM: oh, and Maria's pork buns from Chinatown
	12:19pm ?: I bought "Little Girl" at Two Guys in Woodbridge, NJ (same day I got Yesterday...And Today). it was one of my major air drum records when I was 9. in 2000 Jimmy Babjak backed up Sal Valentino and Ron Meagher of The Beau Brummels at Cavestomp in NYC. The Syndicate Of Sound were also on the bill and I got chummy with original drummer John Duckworth. he watched our set from the wings and later paid me one of the biggest compliments I ever received: "hey, I can tell you're a skilled drummer but you played that set like you were 17!" coming from him, that was huge!
	12:20pm spodiodi: Two Guys ftw
	12:21pm McGroovey: I have to figure out where to buy a Christmas tree without getting ripped off.
	12:22pm clarke: nebraska
	12:22pm Dean: Line Bagels evidently used to be F Line Bagels. Same address. Fifteen years ago MTA sued F Line for trademark infringement.
	12:24pm McGroovey: @? I read that (twice) as "... Two Guys yesterday...", and I got confused. I don't shop in Woodbridge very often (Woodbridge Wegmans, mostly), but
	12:24pm P-90: Tidbit about Booker T’s recollection re: the drums at Stax, one of those little factoids that’s genuinely fascinating.
	12:24pm S_Rah: @yetibob thank you yes I sent her the name Ps my bagels were great . Though they looked raw but tasted just fine mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
	12:25pm Greg from ZONE 5: QUEERS! Always takes me back to my days as an unsuccessful punk.
	12:25pm Gordon FM: @Dean Interesting!!!
	12:25pm Dennis Diken: that was me as "?", thought I was signed in. thanks for the shout out earlier Mikey. the other word that totally applies to drummers like Bobby Elliot and Ringo is "classy"
	12:25pm suzyhotrod: Gotta run! Thanks for playing the Queers. Joe is a softee and I love his cute love songs.
	12:26pm clarke: she gets her kicks in stepney not in knightsbridge any more
	12:29pm Stephen: Michael, you should have played ATCQ’s Ham and Eggs!
	12:29pm clarke: there may not be 'drums' but there is some brushes or sticks on a guitar case or something
	12:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: Ooh! Good call, Stephen. They're high in cholesterol.
	12:30pm Juke Joint Jonny: The stereo on this Everly thing is bonkers
	12:30pm TDK60: The drummer sounds like he's playin' a dictionary or maybe a thinner book.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: A story as old as time, this.
	12:31pm Juke Joint Jonny: Memphis Tennessee is pretty compelling at half speed
	12:31pm clarke: i got a decent sound out of a brooklyn phone book once
	12:34pm Moammar: "Leaving Here" is more honored abroad than its homeland. Great tune.
	12:34pm Jimmy Wipper: The original #MeToo song.
	12:34pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Doesn't get any better than "Leavin' Here". First version I heard was The Birds.
	12:35pm clarke: ehhhhh WHIPPPPAAAAAH!!!
	12:36pm Jimmy Wipper: Ehhhhhh Clarkeeeeeeeee!
	12:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Woke up late, sorry! Glad to be here and COVETING that crow glass.
	12:37pm WaffleMix: Hmm sweet jersey corn
	12:37pm McGroovey: "broken phone book" : good name for a band, or at least a song.
	12:38pm kpx: a memory of a song was triggered by the Hullabaloos, I'm a gonna love you. it sounded like a Buddy Holly song covered by someone I can't remember. only remember the melody and a few words of the lyrics that may be in the title. they were something like - my baby dove - or my turtle dove - or something with the word dove in it. it's sparse, but that's all I have to go on
	12:38pm WaffleMix: I blame Mike for the food focus
	12:38pm Frank Zaatar: Dirty Looks! Talk about your #1 hits. For my money the most underrated band of all time.
	12:38pm Moammar: The bongos are en fuego this Saturday.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Everything about the Everlys : Thee Best TwoPart Harmony obviously - the model for everyone to come (crept only Brian Wilson with many parts from The Lettermen) - but also Class A indispensable Songs (Beaudliue or however it's misspelled & Bryant - & originals too) - & the Arranging & Playing as well (adore those jumbo Gibson acoustics with the pickups - & so clearly did The Beatles ... even the way they'd hold them vertical @ one o'clock indeed whilst singing...)
	12:40pm Michael in Montclair: The sound effects on that Dirty Looks track made me feel like shouting 'Yabba-Dabba-Do!'
	12:40pm Mikey_b: Dirty Looks - Pride and Joy of Staten Island
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How many Everlys tracks had Buddy's Crickets? You are so on the way to The Beatles @ that rate...
	12:42pm clarke: the everly's used SO many side-men - different configurations - almost every song.
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Blood Harmony' of relatives - with the Louvins as predecessors: Cocaine & Rhinestones episode on that...
	12:43pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great show! Will put it on in the car as we drive to the tree farm. As long as there aren't too many yokels milling around without masks, we'll find ourselves a tree. Take care all!
	12:43pm Dean: The most redundant song is The Fall's "Repetition."
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: Corey, if I were there, I'd say to go to our property and take your pick. We have 18,000!
	12:44pm Greg from ZONE 5: Most redundant song ever? I refer you to "Please Don't Go" by KWS.
	12:45pm clarke: we not doing MovieTime this week?
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Back at the keyboard and catching up -- was the Caravelles the unused tune from the Cinderella movie?
	12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: Along the lines of the drums at Stax staying set like that for years, Booker T. was often commuting to Memphis on weekends while attending University of Indiana. All I did during college was drink beer.
	12:45pm prudy: is this song about Angela Davis? (jailed in 70s)
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @clarke: & the playing is usually so great !
	12:46pm Corey: @Handy That'd be sweet!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: prudy, that's an excellent question. Really sounds like it could be.
	12:48pm clarke: i saw the new film Let Him Go - it is good! surprisingly. i have a new-found respect for costner.
	12:48pm Montmaster J: Anybody see "Mank"?
	12:49pm clarke: whats ManK?
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: We continue rewatching The Sopranos, and we watched the Zappa doc. last night. If you love Freaks and Geeks (as I do!), check out the ep. of the Netflix documentary series Culture Shock. Not a dry eye.
	12:50pm Montmaster J: It's about the writing of Citizen Kane....Mank is Mankiewicz-who wrote the screenplay. I think it just came out on Netflix
	12:50pm goes211: Undeclared is a wonderful show by Apatow also! Music by Pixies guitarist Santiago.
	12:50pm Hoboken Jack: Huge fan of the Freaks and geeks when I belatedly got around to it. The semi follow-up Undeclared also worth your time.
	12:51pm clarke: oh wow - will check that!! his nephew does a great job on TCM
	12:51pm Tim In SF: Freaks and Geeks was fun. All those young kids turned out to have a career. I remember the jewish kid says "I got voted to be treasurer and I didn't even run for the office."
	12:51pm Dean: "A county judge was shot one day, but she was 3000 miles away..." Sounds like Angela Davis's case to me. Years later, when I was in law school, I worked with one of Angela's defense attorneys. Great guy.
	12:51pm Jimmy Wipper: Funny I was just looking up Mank because a friend said it was great. I hope it's as good as it sounds. Freaks and Geeks is fantastic!
	12:52pm Gordon FM: peace out
	12:52pm Montmaster J: Yes, we love Ben and TCM.
	12:52pm clarke: l8r dude
	12:52pm Hoboken Jack: I actually saw both Let Him Go and Mank in the theater here in Hoboken. Neither great but both real solid. Learned a lot from Mank.
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: @Tim in SF, the ep. of Cultureshock asserts that they all had careers because Apatow went to bat for all of them after F&G was canceled. It's a good story. Another blazer, MS! What an excellent way to spend two hours, and excellent company to spend the time with! Thanks! And thanks, Ruth! Be well, all. See youse soon.
	12:53pm DG: Great to see someone mention Utopia here! We're like a mile or 2 away & just had some this AM. Oversized, tasty (although it sometimes depends when you get there...bought these late afternoon yesterday & they're still good). I'm not a NYC bagel snob, have had good ones in Austin, San Francisco, etc. I think the water is a factor (& having bakers with the proper ethnic or geographic, um, experience....)
	12:53pm clarke: as far as NEW films go - very good!
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: Nice VU cover
	12:54pm McGroovey: The tuned cowbells are excellent.
	12:54pm JSF: @suzyhotrod have you walked on the new ashokan rail trail? really beautiful!
	12:54pm Morgan: wow i thought this was lou reed
	12:55pm clarke: fine stuff, here. my favorite all-time song was in there...
	12:55pm jn34282: Hello fellow listeners
	12:55pm Juke Joint Jonny: This is a great track. That said, no one wants to hear any cowbell on a Sunday morning
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: Not even the cows do, JJJ.
	12:55pm clarke: except in starkville, MS
	12:56pm Morgan: it works
	12:56pm Creature Boy: Freaks and Geeks pilot seems to be a shameless rip off of the My So Called Life pilot! Carbon copy
	12:56pm TDK60: Thanks for the hits, DJ Michael.
	12:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Michael Shelley! nice one thanks, Ruth!
	12:56pm radioronan: Thanks Michael.. thanks skeleton crew!
	12:57pm Juke Joint Jonny: Just not in the mooooood (The cows)
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...call me anything cept late for a fix...
	12:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks Michael and Ruth and bagels!
	12:57pm clarke: all righty all righty - ever get the feeling you've been bageled?
	12:57pm kpx: Oh well, guess I'm never gonna know. good show. Bye!.
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY MS
	12:58pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, Michael!
	12:58pm CalZone!: Bagels in BKLN!
	12:59pm DG: And yes, totally agree on Freaks&Geeks, a show I missed when it was first on (I think they kept switching the times or something) & discovered on ABC Family (which makes me think some eps. may have been "edited" a bit). As someone who sent to jr. & High school around the same time as the show (well, late '70s) it's heartbreakingly accuate (of course Apatow grew up on L.I., as I did). And the person who cast it, with actors who looked like kids instead of models, is a genius. Some funny guest stars too (Joel Hodgson from MST3K, etc).
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: A bagelicious show Michael!
	12:59pm Dean: Revo: Scooby Doo singing "Jocko Homo"?
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd Rather Kiss The Bangles...
	1:00pm Michael Shelley: THAnks aLL!!!!

	11:09am Listener Baby: Baby.. Good?
	11:09am McGroovey: Oh, now you're sending me into a Jim-Ford-obsessive streak. I haven't pulled him out in a while. ... (That sounds like a double entendre.)
	11:09am Gordon FM: Golden indeed. It's just Clarlkin with GOLD.
	11:10am spodiodi: good morning, Michael Shelley and #1 people!
	11:10am MFlynn: Been waiting all morning for this! Hi Michael!! And hi Jack!!!!!
	11:10am Gordon FM: *Clarklin' that is

	11:11am Listener Baby: I hope I’m the only one about to have a crew grind concrete in the house, first thing in the morning. Luckily, I have a place to hide.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: "Cornbread is something people eat a lot in songs." Nods sagely. Yo, spodi! Hey, McGroovey, clarke!
	11:12am Hoboken Jack: Hey-ho Dennis, MFlynn, Spodes, dirty McGroove. Dang I love that Cyclones song.
	11:12am spodiodi: Landline!
	11:12am clarke: HH! assume it is stormy on east coast? sunny in noir'lens
	11:12am Robbie White: Boston Market gives you cornbread with your chicken platter
	11:12am spodiodi: hihi, Jack!
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Jack, I ordered that jangle comp, but it has not yet arrived, consarnit! clarke, yeah, it's a gale! Sideways rain. Supposed to end this afternoon and then start getting cold.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: The weather is shit up here Clarke.
	11:13am McGroovey: And ugh... I put the Strum & Thrum CD version in my Bandcamp cart, but didn't pull the trigger, and it sold out, so I put the LP version in my cart and didn't pull the trigger, and it sold out. So now I've saved $30 or $40, but I have no Strum or Thrum.
	11:14am TDK60: Yeah, those old theater reviews. Each act would have about 10 or 15 minutes.
	11:14am clarke: we sent you that from down here frank
	11:14am Dean: Capers?
	11:14am paul: no tomato?
	11:14am Frank In Queens: Yeah, thanks for that!
	11:15am bbxtina: Hello just poppin in to say hi from Montreal, town of the TRUE bagel
	11:15am Frank In Queens: Actually, it doesn't really matter. I pretty much spend all day Saturday listening to FMU anyway.
	11:15am Dean: Used to be a joint in suburban LA County that did a wonderful bagel and smoked salmon.
	11:15am lily: sounds like montreal bagels to me ... yum
	11:15am Handy Haversack: Kate likes it with just tomato and onion. Frank, I take some comfort in the knowledge that Boston is getting it much worse than us.
	11:15am spodiodi: haha bbx
	11:15am Dennis Diken: @TDK60 - were Little Richard and Shirley Ellis also on that bill? The Exciters?
	11:16am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all!
	11:16am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1 hitters.
	11:16am steveo: good morning. the clicky-star I just added is not only for this song, but also for the little bagel chat preceding
	11:17am clarke: a nor'easter is not TOO bad until it is a snowfilled one
	11:17am McGroovey: Le pretzel, le bagel : c'est un continuum.
	11:17am spodiodi: hi GregfZ5, Cooh, steveo
	11:17am Frank In Queens: I think NYC will be spared the snow. Surrounding areas, not so much.
	11:18am clarke: i used to be a caper
	11:18am WaffleMix: Whole wheat everything
	11:18am bbxtina: Yesss yess everythingbagel with cream cheese and bacon
	11:18am Handy Haversack: The gang's all here! And now I have to do the dishes. Oh, life.
	11:18am WaffleMix: Capers are a bit extra
	11:18am clarke: now THAT place gets the brunt of the nor'easter!
	11:19am spodiodi: the great muppet caper for me, please
	11:19am steveo: i may head down to the cemetery to see if it's snowing at the higher elevations
	11:19am Gordon FM: right with you on bagel choices, Michael. Sesame first, then Errthing. But I'd still knosh on a bialy before a bagel any day.
	11:19am steveo: hi spod
	11:20am WaffleMix: Omg reminds me of whole wheat pecan waffles
	11:21am lilith: poppyseed bagels with butter and swiss cheese...
	11:21am McGroovey: It's oh so merry, in the cemetery, [something something something something] toooombstoness What's that song?... Oh, Eugene Chadbourne... Not really a Michael Shelley-appropriate artist.
	11:21am clarke: a bit off topic, but the first time my band hit nyc, i stood in line at an east side deli and naively ordered a Nish (with the K silent, ha ha)....
	11:22am myron feld: Born and bred NYer here, and I never thought anything could top a NYC bagel. Then I went to Montreal....oh my.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: It's Christmas decoration day! But first, more coffee and radio.
	11:22am Hoboken Jack: McGroove, why not buy the digital version on Bandcamp? Over the coming months I'll photocopy the booklet and liner notes for you. Actually I just looked at the label site and you can pre-order the vinyl re-press: www.omnianmusicgroup.com...
	11:22am Hughie Considine: There's a great and easy recipe for homemade baglels on Boing Boing that I've been using for years since I moved to NC, where there are no great bagels.
	11:22am clarke: ... the guy behind the counter dryly chuckles. he says "hey nick, dis guy wants a fuggin' Nish!"
	11:22am WaffleMix: Hmm I am one of those no good pizza or bagels outside NYC/NJ
	11:23am Frank Zaatar: Bagels aren't really Israeli. In Israel they use the word for a wide ring of bread which is actually a Palestinian snack. If you go to Brick Lane in London you get a small, soft "beigel."
	11:24am Grey Poupon: Bagel? What's a Bagel?
	11:24am Hoboken Jack: Hey there Greg!
	11:24am clarke: americans corrupt ever'thang
	11:25am Frank In Queens: I don't believe I've had a bagel in the year 2020.
	11:25am clarke: i know i haven't
	11:25am spodiodi: same here, Frank In Queens
	11:25am Frank In Queens: I really only have bagels a few times a year anyway, but 2020 hasn't really afforded me the opportunity to have any.
	11:26am Rockfish: Long live the Q!
	11:26am Hughie Considine: Bialys are where it's at though. The bialy moment is yet to come, but I have faith.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: Clarke, based on your location, that's perfectly acceptable. Play to your area's strengths!
	11:27am clarke: 2o2o corrupts ever'thang too
	11:27am McGroovey: Oh, that preorder was on Bandcamp yesterday also... Guess I better hurry and pull that trigger.
	11:27am TDK60: Dennis D. They were on the bill. But I forget if they were there that day. I forget! (Could I forget Little Richard?!) Maybe I was only there for part of it. Maybe each act didn't play every day. But is has been a while since then.....
	11:27am Mister Dobalina: There is a bagel spot on University Place in nYc that on Monday's after 3pm, the bagels are 55¢.
	11:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Jack!
	11:28am Pedro in Arlington: Yes to bagels from Montreal, home of those other fine Jewish exports Cohen and Shatner.
	11:28am clarke: there IS a philly style deli in new orleans - not bad, but i wouldn't try a bagel there.
	11:28am McGroovey: It's just that I have to watch my money because I bid on a guitar neck on eBay, and I was expecting to lose, but now it seems like I'm going to win.
	11:28am clarke: JUPE!!!
	11:29am McGroovey: I lived near the Bagel Hole for a whole in the nineties. I don't really remember it, but I do remember that I could buy bagels there.
	11:30am jt: Really miss the original 'Ess-A -Bagel' on 21st and 1st..was THE destination Bagel spot for many for decades.. they moved and are still okay btw..
	11:30am clarke: ok you guys have made me hungry.
	11:30am Dean: There's a Montreal-style deli here in Berkeley, but no bagels. They smoke their own brisket.
	11:31am Peter from Dover NJ: Now you've got me totally jonesing for a bagel and a schmeer. Great show.
	11:31am myron feld: Most bagels everywhere are just oversized bread pieces now, but Utopia Bagels in Queens is still great.
	11:31am TDK60: Dennis D. There is an article one can search online about the Soupy S. revues.
	11:31am clarke: i am NOT fed up
	11:31am Frank In Queens: Artisan bagels sound like a goddamn nightmare.
	11:31am WaffleMix: Sounds like a reason to go to Montreal- never been...
	11:32am clarke: it's the water, frank!!
	11:32am myron feld: @WaffleMix: truly fabulous small bagels in MTL. And the chocolate babka at Cheskie's is the best I ever had.
	11:32am jt: I have heard very good things about. those "bagels from Montreal"... been meaning to get up there...
	11:32am Handy Haversack: Dishes are done, dudes. This is the first day in a long time when I am basically unstructured time all day! No freelance work, no poker game, no appointments of any kind. Just me and time! Well, also Kate once she gets back from band practice. I barely know what to do with myself! And not a bagel in sight.
	11:33am Mister Dobalina: H&H bagels on the upper west, had the yummiest blueberry bagels, especially when they fresh & piping hot.
	11:33am McGroovey: I love bialys: better than bagels. There's nowhere near me to buy them, sadly. There was somewhere in Brooklyn where I used to get them, and later the Wegmans near my house in Rochester had them, but I don't live in Brooklyn or Rochester anymore.
	11:33am Michael in Montclair: Hopefully, sometime after this storm of a pandemic passes, I hope to make a pilgrimmage from NJ to Montreal for a St-Viateur vs. Fairmount bagel taste test.
	11:33am Hoboken Jack: Frank, I've likely had more bagels in 2020 than in any other year.
	11:34am Michael Shelley: and pizza
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Mmmmm, bialys. Kossars Hot Bialys for $0.35 ea. in the early nineties definitely contributed to my survival at the time.
	11:34am Biba McLurex: SE corner of 2nd Ave & 43rd, Chelsea Bagels. They have egg bagels, even.
	11:34am Frank Zaatar: @Pedro, +1 on Montreal bagels. You can get a pretty good approximation at Black Seed in NYC.
	11:35am Corey: Bagel Hole is my wife's favorite. My vote is for Absolute on the UWS. Securing a late night bagel was my first move when I visited Montreal last year. Did not disappoint.
	11:35am McGroovey: My wife went and bought bagels this morning. I'm delaying taking mine to type and type. And I need to make my coffee without which etc etc
	11:35am clarke: assuming that this is a neighborhood thang? everyone staying local?
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Jack, I bet. There's just no bagel joints in this part of Queens.
	11:35am WaffleMix: @myron good vegetarian scene? Sounds like some diary kosher which is good for me.
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Baker's Dozen in Greenpoint is pretty good, bagelwise. Not H&H quality, but quite good.
	11:36am clarke: i forgot about the horns in Bright Lights
	11:36am TDK60: Never knew about Montreal bagels. You can learn stuff on the WFMU board. I have been to Absolute Bagels on the Upper West Side.
	11:36am WaffleMix: Think I'm putting together my first post- Covid trip!
	11:36am Frank In Queens: WaffleMix, MTL has an ace veggie/vegan scene. Check out Aux Vivre!
	11:37am MFlynn: I haven’t found a decent bagel out here in Reading, PA.
	11:37am TDK60: Forgot to mention, The Hollies were fab at the Paramount!
	11:37am clarke: bobby elliot? one of the greatest!!
	11:37am daytona madison: glendale bagels in queens— easily the best in nyc
	11:37am Frank In Queens: Very much looking forward to the Bobby Elliot interview.
	11:38am clarke: i think dave barry plays on some hollies hits
	11:38am xtrakrispy: I live by Kossar’s and get my bagels and bialys here often They have gone up and down over the last few years but are currently on an upswing. The bialys are great, the bagels better than most.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Glendale Bagels is just a BIT out of the way for me.
	11:38am Frank Zaatar: @MFlynn--no but don't you get pretzels at Wawa?
	11:39am egould310: Nailed the bongo feet perfectly.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: I feel like I have heard about some family drama with Kossar's over the last decade or so, xtrakrispy? But I owe that place a lot for keeping my going!
	11:39am WaffleMix: I'll bet Montreal has some great waffles too
	11:40am xtrakrispy: I’m a BIG fan of the Montreal bagel and consider them superior in many ways to the NY style. Black Seed Bagels do a VERY good Montreal style here in NYC and have multiple locations.
	11:40am daytona madison: utopia bagels is always very disappointing to me
	11:40am bbxtina: For a small fee of your unwavering devotion, I will mail ya’ll Montreal bagels. I just can’t guarantee how much mole will have grown on them by the time they reach you. I mailed a loaf of bread to my Philly friend this summer and it had arms and legs by the time it got to her.
	11:41am bbxtina: But it’s winter now, so it’s like free refrigeration
	11:41am Pedro in Arlington: Proof that Canadians are quite smart and more than capable of fantastic bagels: they're keeping the border closed. Also, Jackie Robinson broke the pro color barrier first with the Montreal Royals. And Bob Dylan's incredible houndstooth suit for the 66 tour was made in Toronto.
	11:41am TDK60: Hey Handy, down in Kings County.
	11:42am xtrakrispy: Hey Handy. Yeah, word is there has been a lot of turnover with ownership. Not sure of the exact dynamics but I can attest to the bagels going downhill in 2018-19 and getting much better in 2019-to date.
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Reelin' In The Years has a fantastic Hollies DVD, for those interested.
	11:42am Michael in Montclair: @xtrakrispy, I've heard about Black Seed Bagels and want to try out their bagels. One of the co-founders/co-owners is a native Montrealler who is the former owner of the Mile End Deli, a MTL-style deli in Brooklyn.
	11:43am Gabagool: Shoutout to Northern NJ bagels as the best bagels. Change my mind canada.
	11:43am xtrakrispy: I also love that there is Bialystoker Street here in my ‘hood. Word is that was where the guy who stoked the fire for the wood fire oven that cooked the bialys.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: TDK60, \\ //_. How fares your insular city of the Manhattoes, girdled round by wharves like Indian isles by coral reefs? xtrakrispy, the continuity and ability to talk about the place in 2020 after first going there in 1993 makes the city feel like a cozy small town sometimes!
	11:43am clarke: you're flatting dear!
	11:44am jt: + on Kossars Hot Bialys.. that place is special. I was in the other day.. after a long absence..since it's in Manhattan & I live on the other side of the bridge in Bklyn hadn't been there since March, keeping it all very local. I was Happy to say: "Three Bialys please" As the woman handed me the bag she said, "Two more fell in the bag.." and only charged me for the 3, Ah, Manhattan, I've missed you....
	11:44am Frank In Queens: www.discogs.com...
	11:44am Handy Haversack: Hell yeah, @jt.
	11:45am JG: MAn I want a bialy now
	11:46am JG: Makin do w a homemade waffle
	11:46am Montmaster J: There was a place in Carroll Gardens near the train station-on Smith...that was a total hole in the wall but they had the best bagels......probably long gone.
	11:48am kpf: When I lived in south slope in the 90s the bagel hole was the absolute best. And I went to kossars the other day for a bialy and was so disappointed! They've really gone down in quality (and up in price)
	11:48am Cat: Patsy, the pride of Winchester, Virginia. Diggin the show, Michael. Seasons greetings.
	11:49am yetibob: Montreal bagels don't impress me. NYC has the best. In chicago Steingold's deli has the best ones I've had
	11:49am McGroovey: Oh, there was a great bagel place I used to go to when I lived in Carroll Gardens. Maybe that's the place,
	11:50am yetibob: there's also a place in Miami that advertises they use water trucked in from NYC. great bagels
	11:50am Mister Dobalina: I'm confused, who's kissin' who?
	11:50am Gordon FM: don't ship moles in the mail, kids.
	11:50am McGroovey: That was @montmaster j. Comments are rolling fast.
	11:50am Pedro in Arlington: Handy and McGroovey and jt speak the truth: A good bialy kicks arse and hasn't been co-opted by supermarkets, Dunkin and spellcheck. But those guys in FoW's "New Routine" should have finished their bagels.
	11:51am clarke: thought patsy cline was from Frederick, MD?
	11:51am Montmaster J: It was right near the Carroll St Station on Smith....I don't think it even had a sign....but this was way back....80s....I am getting old.
	11:52am Brian in Charlottesville: I believe she was from Winchester, VA.
	11:52am McGroovey: Well, Wegmans is a super market, but they usually get things right. Most stores have a bakery. Some stores have an excellent, wide-ranging bakery.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: I was completely content with my bowl of Cheerios for breakfast until this show started....
	11:52am Handy Haversack: YB, last time I was in Chicago was with two NYC friends. We were walking, hmm, just north of the river maybe around Wabash? And we saw a deli with a sign called NYC Bagels or something similar. My friend Manny stops dead still and says, "Now that just pisses me off! That's our thing! Find your own thing, Chicago!" Then we went to a bar. True. Story.
	11:52am yetibob: hey Handy, I'm at the brewhouse making a porter. will send you a pic in a bit
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Nice, YB!
	11:53am yetibob: HH: The NYC Bagel place is just OK. But the employees are super nice
	11:53am Montmaster J: Speaking of Carroll Gardens our host used to live near Cammareri bakery....they had good stuff!
	11:54am Dean: Looks like there is still (at least a year ago) a Line Bagels in that Carroll Gardens neighborhood: https://goo.gl/maps/JySn5oy9oduPKjyy7
	11:54am S_Rah: Homemade bagels!!!!!? What? I’m making them right now lol
	11:54am yetibob: if you show up near closing time and they just give them away ... order 6 and get 18
	11:55am Pedro in Arlington: Patsy Cline, definitely from Winchester, VA and you can stop by her grave heading into town. Sadly she was not at all the pride of the place, having a reputation that now is nothing but sexist and irrelevant.
	11:55am spodiodi: open tambourine mic? seems loud
	11:55am yetibob: which is generous but what do you do with 18 bagels?
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Head to the undercity under the hotels there and distribute?
	11:55am S_Rah: My sis moved to Chicago and started making her own when she couldn’t find any good ones. I’ve made soft pretzels and tortillas from scratch and decided today to ask for her bagel recipe. 3-6 more minutes in the oven and fingers crossed . WFMU always with the mind reading xoxoxoxo
	11:56am Mister Dobalina: 14th street Union Square can be quiet the madhouse!
	11:56am JG: Carrol Gardens has the world's best pizza(really), Carroll and Henry. Lucali. Usually an hour or two hour wait for one of there 10 tables. Wood burning ovens. Homemade pepperoni. Unbelievable sauce and crust. If you can wait to get in, try it. Its serious pizza. Lucali
	11:56am TDK60: Was just on 14th St. yesterday. Not as many humans as the Before days. But still, had to walk round Union Square. There was a farmers market.
	11:56am ChrisB.: Michael, you just sent my wife out of the house in search of a bagel and lox.
	11:56am Gordon FM: Montmaster, I think it was Bergen Bagels in Carroll Gardens, no?
	11:57am McGroovey: Yeah, we have three decent bagel places near us: #1 in Guttenberg, #2 in Edgewater, #3 in Fort Lee--numbered by proximity, not quality, but they're all good. My wife goes, not me, so I'm the beggar, not the chooser.
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: Don't go back to Rockville, Michael.
	11:57am Listener Robert: OK, I had to jump on after Mr. Shelley called my attention to someone's comment here. Making bagels at home might not be that hard, but hard enough that it takes more doing to get right than most baking. At least from my attempts, results were only so-so and I haven't wanted to spend the effort to get reliably good at it. Is there a shortcut?
	11:58am McGroovey: There was a great little store that made fresh pasta and sauce. Hmmmmm that was good.
	11:58am phat: To this day I'm bummed Sylvain Sylvain canceled the show he was supposed to play here in Lincoln years ago. Canceled that tour, I think.
	11:59am Gordon FM: Bergen Bagels has been there forever
	11:59am TDK60: Do they eat bagels in Winchester, Virginia?
	11:59am Pedro in Arlington: Skokie for bagels in Chicagoland.
	11:59am McGroovey: My son makes bagels occasionally. He got them right on the first try. He's crazy-careful about following recipes. I'm more of an improviser.
	11:59am Handy Haversack: There was a bar around the corner from us for years, a real local's boozer, called the Mark Bar (2003-2015 maybe? 2016?), and on Sundays they would get a big bag of bagels and put out a spread and free copy of the paper. And those community bagels at a local bar are some of the best, at least in the glow of memory. Man, I miss that bar. $3 pints, dart board, pool table, and you could bring the dog.
	12:00pm yetibob: s_rah: your sister might like Steingold's
	12:00pm Montmaster J: Hi Gordon...Could be...all I remember is that it was a tiny place right near the Carroll stop...and it was a mess...youl could see the bagels being made...
	12:01pm clarke: i guess patsy cline lived in Frederick when she got married
	12:01pm Listener Robert: Especially not worth the effort when I can get good ones around here. it was more a matter of seeing I could do it. Not like pizza, which I quickly came to like homemade better than what I can buy, just because my taste in pizza is different from most people's.
	12:01pm Pedro in Arlington: Bethesda for bagels in our nation's capital.
	12:01pm Juke Joint Jonny: Lot a soul under that cheap looking rug
	12:03pm JSF: Michael - look up the word Artesian and see what it means.
	12:04pm Tyler H: note: "artisan" is not pronounced like "artesian"
	12:04pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, dba in the East Village used to do the bagel thing on Sundays as well. I've had a couple of Boddington's breakfasts there in years past.
	12:04pm JSF: there is another word starting with A that you're thinking of.. hint - it begins 'art' too
	12:04pm yetibob: @pedro: yeah skokie is good but too far from here. you don't have to go that far for a good bagel
	12:04pm Dean: They do say bagel making is all about the water...
	12:04pm TDK60: Yeah, Junior Wells! Same blueds generation as Buddy Guy. I think I recall a duo LP they did.
	12:05pm clarke: they toured together quite often tdk
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Frank, yeah, I know dba. Or knew, at least. Greenpoint has almost entirely run out of affordable bars. Or you know, had. I have no clue what's going to be left standing. Coming soon: Nine banks.
	12:06pm clarke: but junior was a generation before buddy
	12:06pm Dean: In Los Angeles during the punk years, late '70s, the de rigueur stop on the trip home from a show was Brooklyn Bagel shop: https://www.brooklynbagella.com/
	12:06pm suzyhotrod: Hello, Michael Shelley! Just checking in to say thanks for Saturday “morning” music. I decadently just got up. If anyone has water questions, the NYC shocker is our amazing water comes from many different sources in upstate watersheds that each have their own flavor. BAM! NYC factoid delivered.
	12:07pm Frank In Queens: Nine MORE banks...
	12:07pm TDK60: Thanks clarke! Older than Guy. I can learn stuff here.
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: Ah, love this EC track! A real ear worm for me. @suzy: you can even paddle around on some of them!
	12:07pm xtrakrispy: @TDK60 The USQ farmers markets is one of the best I’ve been anywhere in the world and I travel to Italy and France often. I do almost all of my shopping there. I know the names of most of my farmers be they meat, fish, veg or fruit. THe rule is they must be no more than 150 miles from NYC (depending on which direction).
	12:08pm Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Suzy! I visited the great big reservoir up there and I can vouch for its crystal-clear-mountain-ness.
	12:09pm xtrakrispy: @suzy I had every intention of going to Ottos the other night but the weather kept me in. Next time for sure.
	12:09pm Gordon FM: aaah Montmaster - maybe it was Line Bagels. Bergen is further down but not sure if Line was there back then. I was there in the 90s
	12:10pm clarke: they had to close when you moved away!
	12:11pm suzyhotrod: I dropped my hard hat into the Ashokan Reservoir once. A helpful person retrieved it thankfully. Hey, Greg! @xtrakrispy: With rain the bar can only seat a few people with safe social distance so next time I hope for a first Friday January polar bear gathering at the outdoor seating
	12:12pm Rex: This was proudly played on Bay Area oldies radio!
	12:12pm clarke: my all-time number one number one
	12:13pm Moammar: Them bongos!
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: Oh, jeez, we have not been to Otto's in a long while. Sigh. I put a small bit of cider in the Ashokan when paddling around on it. Have been waiting to taste it in a glass of water here, but, you know. It's a big reservoir!
	12:13pm TDK60: I do recall this bein' on the Top 40 radio, played a lot. (Byrds meets Dylan in the garage. Love too?)
	12:13pm LP Stevenson: Love this. So cocky yet so cucky
	12:13pm clarke: this pressing sounds a bit 'off'??
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: OK, MS, I'm going to cut my hair. Play sharp tunes!
	12:14pm McGroovey: Oh, I haven't made cornbread in a while...
	12:14pm Tim: Indeed, from San Jose.Played my Junior Prom. Only knew about 10 songs...sang Hey Little Girl 3 times. Why not?
	12:14pm Gordon FM: I did not eat a lot of bagels until I became a tourist again. I ate chinatown lo-mein and pizza.
	12:15pm Pedro in Arlington: Best onion rings in Jersey: Holsten's in Bloomfield, as far as Tony is concerned.
	12:15pm goes211: @Michael...careful, you'll be talking about Taylor Ham before you know it!
	12:16pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Pedro: Far be it from me to contradict Tony, but that's a bunch of hooey. Holsten's onion rings pale in comparison to Rutt's Hutt.
	12:16pm Lizardner Dave !: Yeah I guess steak and eggs has replaced ham and eggs probably because the cuts of beef diners use for the steak are now cheaper than pork.
	12:16pm Hubig Pie: Grits 'n' gravy , dammit !
	12:17pm TDK60: xtrakrispy at 12:07. Yeah, that's a great farmer market. Also, a similar one is up by the Museum of Natural History, on Sundays. I have some farmer pals from up the Hudson.
	12:18pm Juke Joint Jonny: I don't think that lady should be in the service industry
	12:18pm Gordon FM: oh, and Maria's pork buns from Chinatown
	12:19pm ?: I bought "Little Girl" at Two Guys in Woodbridge, NJ (same day I got Yesterday...And Today). it was one of my major air drum records when I was 9. in 2000 Jimmy Babjak backed up Sal Valentino and Ron Meagher of The Beau Brummels at Cavestomp in NYC. The Syndicate Of Sound were also on the bill and I got chummy with original drummer John Duckworth. he watched our set from the wings and later paid me one of the biggest compliments I ever received: "hey, I can tell you're a skilled drummer but you played that set like you were 17!" coming from him, that was huge!
	12:20pm spodiodi: Two Guys ftw
	12:21pm McGroovey: I have to figure out where to buy a Christmas tree without getting ripped off.
	12:22pm clarke: nebraska
	12:22pm Dean: Line Bagels evidently used to be F Line Bagels. Same address. Fifteen years ago MTA sued F Line for trademark infringement.
	12:24pm McGroovey: @? I read that (twice) as "... Two Guys yesterday...", and I got confused. I don't shop in Woodbridge very often (Woodbridge Wegmans, mostly), but
	12:24pm P-90: Tidbit about Booker T’s recollection re: the drums at Stax, one of those little factoids that’s genuinely fascinating.
	12:24pm S_Rah: @yetibob thank you yes I sent her the name Ps my bagels were great . Though they looked raw but tasted just fine mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
	12:25pm Greg from ZONE 5: QUEERS! Always takes me back to my days as an unsuccessful punk.
	12:25pm Gordon FM: @Dean Interesting!!!
	12:25pm Dennis Diken: that was me as "?", thought I was signed in. thanks for the shout out earlier Mikey. the other word that totally applies to drummers like Bobby Elliot and Ringo is "classy"
	12:25pm suzyhotrod: Gotta run! Thanks for playing the Queers. Joe is a softee and I love his cute love songs.
	12:26pm clarke: she gets her kicks in stepney not in knightsbridge any more
	12:29pm Stephen: Michael, you should have played ATCQ’s Ham and Eggs!
	12:29pm clarke: there may not be 'drums' but there is some brushes or sticks on a guitar case or something
	12:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: Ooh! Good call, Stephen. They're high in cholesterol.
	12:30pm Juke Joint Jonny: The stereo on this Everly thing is bonkers
	12:30pm TDK60: The drummer sounds like he's playin' a dictionary or maybe a thinner book.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: A story as old as time, this.
	12:31pm Juke Joint Jonny: Memphis Tennessee is pretty compelling at half speed
	12:31pm clarke: i got a decent sound out of a brooklyn phone book once
	12:34pm Moammar: "Leaving Here" is more honored abroad than its homeland. Great tune.
	12:34pm Jimmy Wipper: The original #MeToo song.
	12:34pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Doesn't get any better than "Leavin' Here". First version I heard was The Birds.
	12:35pm clarke: ehhhhh WHIPPPPAAAAAH!!!
	12:36pm Jimmy Wipper: Ehhhhhh Clarkeeeeeeeee!
	12:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Woke up late, sorry! Glad to be here and COVETING that crow glass.
	12:37pm WaffleMix: Hmm sweet jersey corn
	12:37pm McGroovey: "broken phone book" : good name for a band, or at least a song.
	12:38pm kpx: a memory of a song was triggered by the Hullabaloos, I'm a gonna love you. it sounded like a Buddy Holly song covered by someone I can't remember. only remember the melody and a few words of the lyrics that may be in the title. they were something like - my baby dove - or my turtle dove - or something with the word dove in it. it's sparse, but that's all I have to go on
	12:38pm WaffleMix: I blame Mike for the food focus
	12:38pm Frank Zaatar: Dirty Looks! Talk about your #1 hits. For my money the most underrated band of all time.
	12:38pm Moammar: The bongos are en fuego this Saturday.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Everything about the Everlys : Thee Best TwoPart Harmony obviously - the model for everyone to come (crept only Brian Wilson with many parts from The Lettermen) - but also Class A indispensable Songs (Beaudliue or however it's misspelled & Bryant - & originals too) - & the Arranging & Playing as well (adore those jumbo Gibson acoustics with the pickups - & so clearly did The Beatles ... even the way they'd hold them vertical @ one o'clock indeed whilst singing...)
	12:40pm Michael in Montclair: The sound effects on that Dirty Looks track made me feel like shouting 'Yabba-Dabba-Do!'
	12:40pm Mikey_b: Dirty Looks - Pride and Joy of Staten Island
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How many Everlys tracks had Buddy's Crickets? You are so on the way to The Beatles @ that rate...
	12:42pm clarke: the everly's used SO many side-men - different configurations - almost every song.
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Blood Harmony' of relatives - with the Louvins as predecessors: Cocaine & Rhinestones episode on that...
	12:43pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great show! Will put it on in the car as we drive to the tree farm. As long as there aren't too many yokels milling around without masks, we'll find ourselves a tree. Take care all!
	12:43pm Dean: The most redundant song is The Fall's "Repetition."
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: Corey, if I were there, I'd say to go to our property and take your pick. We have 18,000!
	12:44pm Greg from ZONE 5: Most redundant song ever? I refer you to "Please Don't Go" by KWS.
	12:45pm clarke: we not doing MovieTime this week?
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Back at the keyboard and catching up -- was the Caravelles the unused tune from the Cinderella movie?
	12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: Along the lines of the drums at Stax staying set like that for years, Booker T. was often commuting to Memphis on weekends while attending University of Indiana. All I did during college was drink beer.
	12:45pm prudy: is this song about Angela Davis? (jailed in 70s)
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @clarke: & the playing is usually so great !
	12:46pm Corey: @Handy That'd be sweet!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: prudy, that's an excellent question. Really sounds like it could be.
	12:48pm clarke: i saw the new film Let Him Go - it is good! surprisingly. i have a new-found respect for costner.
	12:48pm Montmaster J: Anybody see "Mank"?
	12:49pm clarke: whats ManK?
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: We continue rewatching The Sopranos, and we watched the Zappa doc. last night. If you love Freaks and Geeks (as I do!), check out the ep. of the Netflix documentary series Culture Shock. Not a dry eye.
	12:50pm Montmaster J: It's about the writing of Citizen Kane....Mank is Mankiewicz-who wrote the screenplay. I think it just came out on Netflix
	12:50pm goes211: Undeclared is a wonderful show by Apatow also! Music by Pixies guitarist Santiago.
	12:50pm Hoboken Jack: Huge fan of the Freaks and geeks when I belatedly got around to it. The semi follow-up Undeclared also worth your time.
	12:51pm clarke: oh wow - will check that!! his nephew does a great job on TCM
	12:51pm Tim In SF: Freaks and Geeks was fun. All those young kids turned out to have a career. I remember the jewish kid says "I got voted to be treasurer and I didn't even run for the office."
	12:51pm Dean: "A county judge was shot one day, but she was 3000 miles away..." Sounds like Angela Davis's case to me. Years later, when I was in law school, I worked with one of Angela's defense attorneys. Great guy.
	12:51pm Jimmy Wipper: Funny I was just looking up Mank because a friend said it was great. I hope it's as good as it sounds. Freaks and Geeks is fantastic!
	12:52pm Gordon FM: peace out
	12:52pm Montmaster J: Yes, we love Ben and TCM.
	12:52pm clarke: l8r dude
	12:52pm Hoboken Jack: I actually saw both Let Him Go and Mank in the theater here in Hoboken. Neither great but both real solid. Learned a lot from Mank.
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: @Tim in SF, the ep. of Cultureshock asserts that they all had careers because Apatow went to bat for all of them after F&G was canceled. It's a good story. Another blazer, MS! What an excellent way to spend two hours, and excellent company to spend the time with! Thanks! And thanks, Ruth! Be well, all. See youse soon.
	12:53pm DG: Great to see someone mention Utopia here! We're like a mile or 2 away & just had some this AM. Oversized, tasty (although it sometimes depends when you get there...bought these late afternoon yesterday & they're still good). I'm not a NYC bagel snob, have had good ones in Austin, San Francisco, etc. I think the water is a factor (& having bakers with the proper ethnic or geographic, um, experience....)
	12:53pm clarke: as far as NEW films go - very good!
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: Nice VU cover
	12:54pm McGroovey: The tuned cowbells are excellent.
	12:54pm JSF: @suzyhotrod have you walked on the new ashokan rail trail? really beautiful!
	12:54pm Morgan: wow i thought this was lou reed
	12:55pm clarke: fine stuff, here. my favorite all-time song was in there...
	12:55pm jn34282: Hello fellow listeners
	12:55pm Juke Joint Jonny: This is a great track. That said, no one wants to hear any cowbell on a Sunday morning
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: Not even the cows do, JJJ.
	12:55pm clarke: except in starkville, MS
	12:56pm Morgan: it works
	12:56pm Creature Boy: Freaks and Geeks pilot seems to be a shameless rip off of the My So Called Life pilot! Carbon copy
	12:56pm TDK60: Thanks for the hits, DJ Michael.
	12:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Michael Shelley! nice one thanks, Ruth!
	12:56pm radioronan: Thanks Michael.. thanks skeleton crew!
	12:57pm Juke Joint Jonny: Just not in the mooooood (The cows)
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...call me anything cept late for a fix...
	12:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks Michael and Ruth and bagels!
	12:57pm clarke: all righty all righty - ever get the feeling you've been bageled?
	12:57pm kpx: Oh well, guess I'm never gonna know. good show. Bye!.
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY MS
	12:58pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, Michael!
	12:58pm CalZone!: Bagels in BKLN!
	12:59pm DG: And yes, totally agree on Freaks&Geeks, a show I missed when it was first on (I think they kept switching the times or something) & discovered on ABC Family (which makes me think some eps. may have been "edited" a bit). As someone who sent to jr. & High school around the same time as the show (well, late '70s) it's heartbreakingly accuate (of course Apatow grew up on L.I., as I did). And the person who cast it, with actors who looked like kids instead of models, is a genius. Some funny guest stars too (Joel Hodgson from MST3K, etc).
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: A bagelicious show Michael!
	12:59pm Dean: Revo: Scooby Doo singing "Jocko Homo"?
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd Rather Kiss The Bangles...
	1:00pm Michael Shelley: THAnks aLL!!!!
