Lolabelle Pancake:

Tonight's show is going to be so good that it's possible a dozen or more WFMU disc jockeys will resign when they realize how pitiful and puny their programs sound compared to Courtney's. Also, Gus AND Euneeda Bodenheim will discuss new consumer product-based economic partnerships. (Or commercials, as they're euphemistically called.)
  3:01pm
Listener Robert:

I wouldn't say that about the main channel in the 6 PM hour, Ms. Pancake.

On Monday, we get the Music of Breath Control.
Tuesday, The Music of Mind Control.
Wednesday, Andy's argument for birth control.
Thursday, the case for age control.
Friday, total lack of control.
Saturday, lack of border controls.
Sunday,,,well, uh...Therese.
  3:06pm
Listener Robert:

D'oooooh! I was off by an hour on Mondays, referring to "Vocal Fry". Well, Mark Hurst's always on about some kind of controls.

Thursday 6pm is about bladder control.

Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney is proud that he still has full bladder control. He boasts about it often!
  4:04pm
Listener Robert:

Sounds like Mr. Edison may need to help keep Flabbio on the air today. He says it's been "grim and unpleasant", contrasting it with what he supposes to be his usual standards.

Earl Hines rocks!

When I was a kid, my parents had a friend whose first name was Hines, and I thought they must be related. My dad was a jazz nut, so yes, I knew who Earl Hines was.

I had a teacher named Mrs Wallace, and I figured she was related to George Wallace. She wasn't.

Maybe Henry Wallace instead
