1:10pm Pedro in Arlington:

Mack - If you're reading this, that episode will trigger asthma attacks across the land. More reason to don a mask, even at home alone watching the internet. Hope you can cut a deal with Rex. Maybe that can be another video.

1:15pm Greg from ZONE 5:

I that a euphemism?

1:16pm common:

Why?

1:16pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Google cricket in your ear and you get a lot of stuff about tinnitus

1:16pm Rex:

Greg- Have you ever been cricketed?

1:17pm Choggie:

Ewwww. BBQ and English muffin' ain't no mix!! That's like meatloaf and pancakes

1:17pm DjLorraine:

We have Cricket phones down here.

1:17pm Andres:

Not a dis track per se but perhaps a jab at The Crickets?

1:17pm James Larkin:

Yeah Pedro I watched that video last night!👍🏻🎸

1:18pm egould310:

I put a cricket in my ear one time. And one time I ate a green plastic army man. Both times I got to go to the hospital.

🌮

1:21pm Mailman Tom:

Beverly Owen was an original cast member of the Munsters. She was on the cover of Monster World #2, dated January 1965.

1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

egould - sounds like a mash of 50s SciFi & a Terry Gilliam cartoon (ok if soldier gets the bug)...

1:22pm DjLorraine:

“Loss weight being foolish“ move it, stagger, stomp - Go

1:22pm kpx:

@Choggie: I know, I was just trying to make a compromise.@ j j j : that's exactly when I have, and a lot of times it drives me crazy.@jn34282: those are the ones that I grew up on.

1:25pm eliH14:

1:40pm Choggie:

"Drop pound after pound with ground round!"

1:41pm Handy Haversack:

I'm on a tatters of jive diet.

1:42pm eliH14:

LSD and moonshine are low-calorie, right?

🌮

1:42pm Mailman Tom:

How can anyone object to Ragtime music?

1:43pm egould310:

Moonshine and LSD; it’s a murder trip!

1:43pm blammer_ghast:

bang that hillbilly boogie

1:45pm egould310:

“You’ll be thin as a rake if you just eat steak!”

1:46pm davefromtoronto:

LSD and moonshine aren't low calorie but the subsequent murder trip will burn it all off.

1:46pm Juke Joint Jonny:

This got both R and B in quantity

1:49pm Rex:

Agreed. Capital letter "R" and "B"...

1:50pm Rex:

Premier smut!!

1:51pm McGroovey:

1:54pm Rex:

David! Come slum with us!

1:54pm Handy Haversack:

Greetings, David! We saved you tatters of jive and boogie-woogie.

1:55pm Don F.:

The 2 Marilyns will always be debated. Wonderful Beverly was in the series.

1:56pm Listener Robert:

Was the bomb in the dream in "The Cave" or was the dream long AFTER a bomb came down in the waking world?

1:56pm David in London:

Thanks Handy, they’ll go perfectly with the mince pie and mulled wine I’m having!

1:57pm Rex:

Don - Yes, the Two Marilyn Debate is right up there with the Two Darren dichotomy...

1:57pm Little Danny:

Hey Rex, hey all!

1:59pm Little Danny:

Wow this Johnny Fuller is a groove!

1:59pm Kpx:

Eat enough steak, and you'll be looking like a snake.

2:10pm Handy Haversack:

I'm making my version of pigs in a blanket today. Fake "sausage" cooked with onions and spices and then baked in Pillsbury Crescent Rolls with a kalamata olive and a piece of smoked mozzarella in each. Dipped in spicy(!) tomato sauce I made yesterday.

2:10pm Little Danny:

That sounds sooo good HH

2:10pm David in London:

He’s got a lovely singing voice.

2:10pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Inside dope: the booze this year will knock your Xmas sock off the mantle.

2:10pm Andres:

Anyone have the recipe for Crater Soda? It sounds effective for what ails you.

2:11pm Choggie:

Sounds tasty Haversack....loves me my Kalamata olive oil....green gold that

2:11pm kpx:

I do believe death took care of that?

2:11pm a polished polish lady:

Sounds perfect for a gloomy day Handy

2:12pm Handy Haversack:

I was going to make it for Tgiving, Little Danny, but we had more than enough. So I saved it for today.

2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...don't know if moonshine is LoCal - but if yer car run outta gas it could get you home...

2:12pm Choggie:

For a second i thot this cut was Bobby Fuller Four, 'Magic Touch'

2:13pm OnTheTrain:

2:13pm Greg from ZONE 5:

YES! One of my favorite garage jams…

2:13pm dale:

2:15pm egould310:

Good news, everybody. The store had vodka. Sippin’ a vodka oj, gettin’ real dumb with some lunkhead rock n roll. Thanks, Rex!

2:17pm Choggie:

Mean Mean-Jean and Twinkie Lee had a scratch-fight complete with hair-pullin an' bra-snappin'!

2:17pm David in London:

June ‘Boom Boom’ Wilkinson is welcome to drop in whenever she’s passing.

🌮

2:19pm Hubig Pie:

Take the Louis Prima Parkway to get to the Walmart supercenter in NOLA east

2:20pm Greg from ZONE 5:

WHOA WHOA let's get back to this "topless watusi"…

2:20pm Choggie:

One of my cousins was Louis Prima's gf before his 2nd wife....she was from port Arthur

2:24pm davefromtoronto:

my IQ just went AWOL...

2:25pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Swinging!

2:25pm kpx:

@Choggie: Two fimales goin at it is commonly known as a cat fight!

2:25pm Juke Joint Jonny:

You GOT to dig flutes.

2:26pm Andres:

I'm hep! I'm hep!

2:27pm jn34282:

@kpx me too with English muffins

2:28pm Ken From Hyde Park:

In case our friend with something new fails to appear, we would call that a No-Show Brow.

2:29pm egould310:

No war.
No hate.
No brow.

2:30pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Boooooooooo

2:30pm Handy Haversack:

Minor leagues really taking it on the chin from antilabor ownership. MLB is showing its colors. I love the sport but hate the league.

2:31pm ?:

who says I'm not a high brow?

2:31pm Greg from ZONE 5:

A rat never forgets.

2:31pm Pedro in Arlington:

Gonna be a whole lotta minor league ball clubs leaving this mortal coil. Yet for some reason, the Jets still exist.

2:33pm jn34282:

@pedro yeah the jets suck

2:33pm TVP:

At least the Somerset Patriots got the AA affiliation out of all this garbage.

2:34pm Rex:

MLB is unilaterally dropping 43 teams from affiliated baseball! It's a stiff middle finger to small towns everywhere...

2:35pm ?:

Is it the guy from car 54 that says:
"I'm not a high brow, I'm not a low brow" ?????

2:36pm Rex:

Joe E Ross is the man's name...

2:36pm kpx:

I hope the miners Aren't one of them.

🌮

2:37pm Hubig Pie:

Nola minor league team is The Babycakes, with a king cake babydoll as it's mascot

2:38pm Handy Haversack:

That middle finger will reach the majors soon enough. We will see a much less talented group of players, no stars, no meaningful free agency, just a churn of young players who never have the chance to find their skills. Thanks, MLB.

2:38pm Pedro in Arlington:

In defense of the Jets, at least they haven't lost this fall as often as the owner of New Jersey Generals.

2:38pm Rex:

KPX- Sussex County is an independent league team...they're free from the wrath of Major League Baseball

🌮

2:42pm Mailman Tom:

I picture someone being chased around by a Chinese cook wielding a meat cleaver whenever I hear this song

2:43pm kpx:

Phew !

2:43pm Rex:

Racially insensitive rock for the holiday season!

2:44pm Choggie:

There used to be a giys channel on YT called Cowgirl Catfights

My fav. Is the epic throwdown between Brigitte Bardot and Claudia Cardinale in the spaghetti western, Les Petroleuses

2:45pm Choggie:

...incidentally, the sexiest western ever filmed

2:46pm David in London:

I basically just slip into unconsciousness any time I see Claudia Cardinale.

2:47pm Listener Robert:

I guess on Dec. 26 you could have all the ingredients pre-arranged and make the cocktail on the air. Not much different from a set of records, come to think of it.

2:48pm egould310:

Yeah. Claudia Cardinale va va vooom!

2:49pm Choggie:

She was like 17 when she won a beuty contest and was lit upon by 3 millionaires who tried to bag her...Cardinale was the hottest of the hotties. She's aged well...Hot and sweaty in Fitzcaraldo with Creepy-sexyman Klaus Kinski

2:50pm radioronan:

Thanks Rex...thanks skeletons..until next time

2:50pm Choggie:

....hehehehe, and raped by Henry Fonda in that one Leone flick! Grubby bastard! I hated him for that!!

2:51pm b k:

I'm sad about the loss of the NY-Penn League in general and at St. George in particular, looking like an Atlantic League team will be the new ballpark tenant with hopefully a better ownership than the last couple of owners there!

2:51pm Handy Haversack:

Thanks, Rex! Another necessary browless recentering!

Be well, lunkheads.

2:52pm Choggie:

You Da Man Rex
WOOF WOOF!

2:52pm Don F.:

@ Rex - at least the show didn't install a 'fake Shemp'.

2:53pm Rex:

BK - I'm with you on that! Hopefully a new ownership group can do something with that amazing ballpark! Best views in baseball!

2:53pm kpx:

To keep trim, a steady diet of slim Jim's.

2:54pm a polished polish lady:

Bye fools! Thanks Rex!

2:54pm Handy Haversack:

And the Coney Island-Staten Island Ferry Series were a blast!

2:55pm P-90:

The dreaded “waning moments of the program...”
Thanks Rex!

2:55pm spodiodi:

thanks, Rex!
thanks, Ruth!
cheerio no-brows

2:55pm Rex:

Bye all! See yines (as the say in Pittsburgh)!

2:56pm P-90:

Also: Thanks, Ruth!

2:56pm DjLorraine:

Bye for now. Thanks to Rex and crew

2:56pm Andres:

Thanks, Rex! Leaving my brow off for the rest of the day, more comfortable that way.

2:57pm egould310:

Thanxrex!

2:58pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Thanks, Rex & Ruth! A blast as always.

2:58pm David in London:

Thanks Rex.
Later everyone, don’t chicken out.
