	6:57am Badger of Shame: A badger can dig itself into a hole in 90 seconds! Or at least that's what I was taught growing up. Came from the "badger state", so there was a lot of pro-badger sentiment floating around
	6:57am Robm: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:55 thanks will read it later
	😼 ♥ 6:59am pgalub: ↳ Amanda @6:50 Thanks Amanda! It was fun to do!
	♥ 7:00am Barrie_: One evening last fall I saw a badger at my local park! It was waddling very noisily through the leaves towards its underground home. The weirdest thing is that it was being followed by a curious cat! The cat then sat on a rock and watched the badger go underground. It was delightful
	♥ 7:01am Amanda: ↳ Barrie_ @7:00 Awww <3
	♥ 7:01am the Hurston moor-elf: Jim's "I hope the bears all stay safe out there" was a major "damn, I love this station so much!" moment for me. This show made almost no sense to me when I first heard it, now it's a highlight of my weekend. Love you two.
	7:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Wolves, the largest wild dog.
	♥ 7:06am john_zilla: this a wild song
	♥ 7:10am TDK60: Badgers dig techno.
	7:14am Colleen: Dig it!
	♥ 7:17am the Hurston moor-elf: Noooo! He's called Bucky The Badger. I iived in WI for 9 years and he's an inescapable part of the cultural landscape. A pugnacious, anthropomorphic badger deity.
	♥ 7:18am the Hurston moor-elf: Yo TDK!
	7:18am Badger of Shame: The UW mascot is Bucky Badger
	♥ 7:18am TDK60: Hiya Badger Hurston moor-elf! (I saw an article about walker/camper advocates trying to keep it real in your locale!)

	7:21am bobobobob plasticland: Paul.McCartney owns the rights to On Wisconsin
	7:27am Fred and Alan: Good morning everyone Fred and Alan
	7:27am Toothgrinder Tom: Robin Leach - he was into Succession before Succession.
	7:29am but bobob plasticland: on Wisconsin owned by McCartney is the fight song
	7:30am Toothgrinder Tom: Don’t forget ‘Pink Lady.’
	7:32am Jeff from Fernandina: You guys are totally nuts! I so like waking up on Saturdays to hear you guys rap on various subjects. And by the way, Jim The Poet is putty in your hands Amanda. Ply him as you will. Cheers, Jeffrey
	♥ 7:33am Jim the Poet: I am also frequently doughy
	♥ 7:34am Amanda: ↳ Jeff from Fernandina @7:32 This is so kind, Jeff, just what we want to hear after a rambling mic break! Although you really shouldn't encourage us...
	7:37am Jeff from Fernandina: Don’t be too doughy, you might be fodder for Clays new show, “Bake and Wake”.
	7:48am Toothgrinder Tom: Wasn’t Senator Joe McCarthy (‘I have here in my hand a list …’) from Wisconsin?
	7:48am melinda: Morning friends
	♥ 7:51am Strandlund: Good Morning Amanda, Jim and all the animals oiut there, both good and bad...The cats say, "Hi," too!!
	♥ 7:51am Amanda: Hi melinda and every animal and person listening!
	♥ 7:51am luka: gm animals
	♥ 7:55am love2laf: Good morning Amanda & Jim, always enjoy waking on a Saturday with Bad Animals. Erin the kitteh decided to pull all the clothes off the shelf onto the floor while I was sleeping, so I had Bad Animal thoughts early! She's just stressed about the intruders who came into her house, bringing a washer and dryer. Good morning Fred & Alan and all the WFMU folk up and listening.
	7:56am Fred and Alan: ↳ Strandlund @7:51 Good morning Strandlund Fred and Alan
	7:56am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @7:55 Good morning Love 2 LAf Fred and Alan
	♥ 7:56am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:27 Good morning to Fred and Alan!! If you work today...I hope all the animals are good animals!!
	7:58am Fred and Alan: ↳ Strandlund @7:56 Its nice to dream Strandlund Don't hurt yourself today doing house and yard work
	7:59am Toothgrinder Tom: God I loathe pickle ball, I don’t even know why.
	7:59am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @7:55 Good luck with the new appliances
	8:01am melinda: I can barely normal-whistle
	♥ 8:01am dale: morning. slept very hard and late. squeakers got some treats at 2 am so that must have sated him for a while.
	♥ 8:01am TDK60: I like Bob Dylan but his whistle is kind of scratchy.
	♥ 8:02am love2laf: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:59 Thank you Fred & Alan, fingers crossed that all goes smoothly, and I can do laundry like regular people again! Much love to you both and also wishing you to get only good animals this weekend.
	8:03am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @8:02 Love 2 Laf We love you and only want the best for you
	♥ 8:05am TDK60: Oh, I can do sound through a grass blade. It doesn't sound like a whistle though; it sounds like a scream. It would be helpful if you're lost in the woods and need to get attention for help. That is, if there's grass around.
	♥ 8:06am StringOFperils: The dog ha had his buttered rye toast and I am having my coffee and glitchcore. All is right with the world. For a a 100 yard radius at least. It must be that far. I dunno. good morning anyway.
	♥ 8:06am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:58 I'll try my best...I have to get a haircut and will probably get hurt doing that.
	8:07am Fred and Alan: The animals all had their firework holiday scaring every dog and cat. Now they are on to the next holiday. Nothing stops them
	8:09am Fred and Alan: ↳ Strandlund @8:06 Be careful whatever you do. Years ago our dad wanted to help the barber when the sheet fell off and he reached down off the barbers chair and picked it up for the barber, He had such a muscular strain after that for being helpful
	♥ 8:11am TDK60: Good morning, Fred and Alan. I had a barber once that drank too much booze! Once, he nipped me on the ear. I decided to grow my hair long after that.
	♥ 8:11am sydnius: ↳ Fred and Alan @8:09 no good need goes unpunished! Good morning Fred and Alan!
	♥ 8:12am StringOFperils: The world is rife with peril.
	♥ 8:12am sydnius: ↳ sydnius @8:11 er deed ☺️
	8:13am Fred and Alan: ↳ TDK60 @8:11 Hello TDK60 Have a good weekend love from Fred and Alan
	8:13am Fred and Alan: ↳ sydnius @8:11 Hello Sydnius Love from Fred and Alan
	♥ 8:20am dale: shepard's song by strawbs is lovely. has nothing to do with sheep though.
	♥ 8:21am sydnius: harmlessly passing the time
	♥ 8:22am dday: Here's my two favorite birdies singing acapella ..of course. My love Mef Gannon & her singing partner of 30 years , the late Angela Adams. "Remember To Be Dancing" www.youtube.com...
	8:23am Juli: It's ze bad animals!
	♥ 8:24am dday: ↳ Steiner @6:02 Morning..how's the lyme treatment going? Feeling any better?
	♥ 8:28am dday: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:55 There are coyote all over my area near Shohola,PA. I've seen several that did not make it across busy Interstae 84 . I saw one run across the road, when coming home around 1AM last week on NJ Rt. 517 near Allamuchy,NJ. There's a wolf preserve in NJ, Lakota Wolf Preserve in Columbia, NJ lakotawolf.com
	8:29am yippie: I would also recommend enjoying firefly squid
	♥ 8:30am dday: ↳ TDK60 @7:10 you can sing "Bucky..Baaadger" to the tune of Hendrix's "Dolly Dagger" :)
	8:30am melinda: I now can’t remember if I saw fireflies when in Maine but they’re all over here in Asheville, it’s great. One night I stepped outside and saw a light flashing in the sky, thought it was aircraft. But then there were more and I realized it had to be bugs.
	♥ 8:34am Strandlund: We have a ravine behind us and the fireflies are numerous and beautiful!!
	♥ 8:35am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "Jojo" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" What a sweetheart!!
	♥ 8:37am dale: always love some danielle dax!
	♥ 8:38am dale: petsmart could have used this in a commercial.
	♥ 8:38am Amanda: ↳ Strandlund @8:35 So fond of these sweet senior kitties. She must be very resourceful to have survived outdoors for this long.
	♥ 8:40am dday: ↳ Song: "Jojo" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" Jojo looks sad. Someone needs to adopt & love him up
	8:41am Toothgrinder Tom: My son really wants a cat (it seems to bring the sensitive side of him out). But both he and his mom are allergic.
	♥ 8:42am Strandlund: ↳ Amanda @8:38 All of our cats have been rescues from our backyard. They couldn't be sweeter...We love them all!!
	8:44am Toothgrinder Tom: Jim’s voice is so low and baritone-y I can hear him from upstairs when my radio is on softly downstairs - those low frequencies just cut through the clutter.
	😼 ♥ 8:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, vertebrates!
	♥ 8:52am Amanda: GOOD MORNING
	♥ 8:53am dale: jim's version of the scream - BEST one of his illustrations yet!
	♥ 8:54am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Eco-Anxiety" by "Mari Dangerfield" Huh, me too. Thanks, Amanda & Jim!
	♥ 8:54am dday: ↳ Amanda @6:33 All 3 of the cats that have lived here since 2012 were backyard/barn rescues. Kitty Boy Floyd ( I renamed him from Domino /Stinky) was found in a barn at my parents house in Montague,NJ. We took him in when my Mom passed away in 2012. Squeezle McLoveMuffin wandered up to my front door screen ato check out Kitty Boy floyd around Memeorial Day 2018 & never left. DellaBella (aka Squirt) was captured at about 4 mos old back on April 13th 2022. It was abit traumatic for him at first but now he's loving every minute with us & his pal Squeezle.
	♥ 8:54am john_zilla: great show!!! thank you Amanda and Jim
	♥ 8:54am StringOFperils: I saved a miniature Yorkshire terrier's life a few summers ago, one dark evening, while fireworks were exploding everywhere in all the little parks and schoolyards. Skyrockets and Roman candles whooshed and boomed loudly. I was on my bicycle in traffic, when I spied an animal on the other side of the road, running at top speed, past the vegetable stands and flowers that were still out under dark awnings, and in and out and through all the legs that walked and strutted in all directions on the sidewalk, to an fro, like a forest of moving trees. The little tiny dog ran as fast as a big dog; I could see immediately that it was absolutely terrified! No one cared. No one saw. But I began to follow, peddling faster and faster! I had to make my way across to it at the next opportunity, maybe the next intersection at this rate! We were on opposite sides of two lanes of heavy traffic, with cars parked here and there along the curb lanes. The little dog flickered in and out, light and dark, kaboom kaboom!! Its speed was outstripping mine, and I was on a bike going downhill; it got past the next intersection, and it kept going and going! It was a really cute little dog. By the time we were over 3 long city blocks south, the little doge began to veer off the busy sidewalk and into the traffic. It looped outward in between and, seemingly, under and through the moving cars, more than once, unsure of how to escape or which way to go. I cringed, again and again, exclaiming, "Oh, no!!" Eventually it began to slow somewhat, and I saw my chance to get across to where it ran up into an doorway-alcove in front of a furniture store that was closed for the night, running tiny circles in a blind corner, from which there was no escape, other than to face the traffic or the hoards of indifferent people, rapidly moving north and south, whose giant boots might crush it underfoot, indifferently and blindly in the descending dark. I wheeled to the curb and a break in the traffic flow made it possible to rush across 4 lanes and roll up to the alcove. There, the poofiest little terrier twitched around in desperation and terror. It had a little pink ribbon tied in a bow on top of its head. I leaned the bike on a post and approached it. It ran but I grabbed it; it was so small. It tried to calm it with my voice but the city behind me was loud! The little dog's heart seemed about to explode. It pounded in its chest. I feared it would not survive even this. I was able to hold it in one hand, if I held it to my chest, and in this way I was able to ride, so we got on my bike and I took the next left, away from the main drag and into the leafy darkness of my neighbourhood streets, past the trees and under the lights. A group of adolescents saw us, and laughed derisively to see the funny man on his old bike who clutched such a foo-foo little ornament of a dog with a pink ribbon in its top-knot. I felt silly, but more than that, I felt terrible for the dog. It squirmed and writhed, and whimpered, and its heart never stopped beating like industrial dance music. I got it home and brought it in and it ran to a remote corner at the back of the house where there's a sliding glass door to a garden. It had a tag on its collar, with a phone number. I called it. A woman answered, and I told her that I had her dog, and asked her to please come and get it. She seemed confused, and asked where. It came out that I was in downtown Toronto, and she was somewhere in Mexico! And also, that the dog was living with her boyfriend, who was here. So she put me in touch with him, and he eventually found me, around 11 o'clock at night. The poor little dog. Her boyfriend was a young guy, with dreads. He'd been in a park, about half a mile north of my place, and a mile north of where I caught the dog. He seemed nonchalant, and looking down and seeing that he still had no leash with him, I something like, "Dude, your dog is absolutely terrified of fireworks; he/she's really lucky to be alive, she was in traffic." He just said thanks, and didn't seem to think about it much. But the trembling and shaking dog was happy to see someone familiar, and so the two turned and disappeared out into the night. I hope he acquired a leash...and maybe a little more empathy.
	♥ 8:55am love2laf: Thank you Amanda & Jim for all you to for the animals, and for us listeners. Have a great weekend everyone.
	♥ 8:56am dday: ↳ dday @8:54 Kitty Boy Floyd passed away in Jan. 2020 one day before what would've been my Mom's birthday. DrellaBella is my little black cats correct name not DellaBella
	8:58am P-90: Thanks guys, love you
	♥ 8:58am dale: will have to play fogelberg's weekend in new england in honor.
	♥ 8:58am Dano59: Natalie has a new album - it came out in April. 'Keep Your Courage' here's a podcast with her talking about one of her songs. songexploder.net...
	♥ 8:58am Amanda: Thanks to you all! You are amazing listeners. Talk to you next week.
	8:59am Listener Robert: Yay!
	5:27pm Miranda: "My babies a star!" said while smoking a cigarette channelling Teri Shields.
	5:29pm Miranda: ↳ Amanda @6:33 I need to tell you about my story of adopting loverly.

She's just stressed about the intruders who came into her house, bringing a washer and dryer. Good morning Fred & Alan and all the WFMU folk up and listening.
	7:56am Fred and Alan: ↳ Strandlund @7:51 Good morning Strandlund Fred and Alan
	7:56am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @7:55 Good morning Love 2 LAf Fred and Alan
	♥ 7:56am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:27 Good morning to Fred and Alan!! If you work today...I hope all the animals are good animals!!
	7:58am Fred and Alan: ↳ Strandlund @7:56 Its nice to dream Strandlund Don't hurt yourself today doing house and yard work
	7:59am Toothgrinder Tom: God I loathe pickle ball, I don’t even know why.
	7:59am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @7:55 Good luck with the new appliances
	8:01am melinda: I can barely normal-whistle
	♥ 8:01am dale: morning. slept very hard and late. squeakers got some treats at 2 am so that must have sated him for a while.
	♥ 8:01am TDK60: I like Bob Dylan but his whistle is kind of scratchy.
	♥ 8:02am love2laf: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:59 Thank you Fred & Alan, fingers crossed that all goes smoothly, and I can do laundry like regular people again! Much love to you both and also wishing you to get only good animals this weekend.
	8:03am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @8:02 Love 2 Laf We love you and only want the best for you
	♥ 8:05am TDK60: Oh, I can do sound through a grass blade. It doesn't sound like a whistle though; it sounds like a scream. It would be helpful if you're lost in the woods and need to get attention for help. That is, if there's grass around.
	♥ 8:06am StringOFperils: The dog ha had his buttered rye toast and I am having my coffee and glitchcore. All is right with the world. For a a 100 yard radius at least. It must be that far. I dunno. good morning anyway.
	♥ 8:06am Strandlund: ↳ Fred and Alan @7:58 I'll try my best...I have to get a haircut and will probably get hurt doing that.
	8:07am Fred and Alan: The animals all had their firework holiday scaring every dog and cat. Now they are on to the next holiday. Nothing stops them
	8:09am Fred and Alan: ↳ Strandlund @8:06 Be careful whatever you do. Years ago our dad wanted to help the barber when the sheet fell off and he reached down off the barbers chair and picked it up for the barber, He had such a muscular strain after that for being helpful
	♥ 8:11am TDK60: Good morning, Fred and Alan. I had a barber once that drank too much booze! Once, he nipped me on the ear. I decided to grow my hair long after that.
	♥ 8:11am sydnius: ↳ Fred and Alan @8:09 no good need goes unpunished! Good morning Fred and Alan!
	♥ 8:12am StringOFperils: The world is rife with peril.

	♥ 8:28am dday: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:55 There are coyote all over my area near Shohola,PA. I've seen several that did not make it across busy Interstae 84 . I saw one run across the road, when coming home around 1AM last week on NJ Rt. 517 near Allamuchy,NJ. There's a wolf preserve in NJ, Lakota Wolf Preserve in Columbia, NJ lakotawolf.com
	8:29am yippie: I would also recommend enjoying firefly squid
	♥ 8:30am dday: ↳ TDK60 @7:10 you can sing "Bucky..Baaadger" to the tune of Hendrix's "Dolly Dagger" :)
	8:30am melinda: I now can’t remember if I saw fireflies when in Maine but they’re all over here in Asheville, it’s great. One night I stepped outside and saw a light flashing in the sky, thought it was aircraft. But then there were more and I realized it had to be bugs.
	♥ 8:34am Strandlund: We have a ravine behind us and the fireflies are numerous and beautiful!!
	♥ 8:35am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "Jojo" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" What a sweetheart!!
	♥ 8:37am dale: always love some danielle dax!
	♥ 8:38am dale: petsmart could have used this in a commercial.
	♥ 8:38am Amanda: ↳ Strandlund @8:35 So fond of these sweet senior kitties. She must be very resourceful to have survived outdoors for this long.
	♥ 8:40am dday: ↳ Song: "Jojo" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" Jojo looks sad. Someone needs to adopt & love him up
	8:41am Toothgrinder Tom: My son really wants a cat (it seems to bring the sensitive side of him out). But both he and his mom are allergic.
	♥ 8:42am Strandlund: ↳ Amanda @8:38 All of our cats have been rescues from our backyard. They couldn't be sweeter...We love them all!!
	8:44am Toothgrinder Tom: Jim’s voice is so low and baritone-y I can hear him from upstairs when my radio is on softly downstairs - those low frequencies just cut through the clutter.
	😼 ♥ 8:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, vertebrates!
	♥ 8:52am Amanda: GOOD MORNING
	♥ 8:53am dale: jim's version of the scream - BEST one of his illustrations yet!
	♥ 8:54am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Eco-Anxiety" by "Mari Dangerfield" Huh, me too. Thanks, Amanda & Jim!
	♥ 8:54am dday: ↳ Amanda @6:33 All 3 of the cats that have lived here since 2012 were backyard/barn rescues. Kitty Boy Floyd ( I renamed him from Domino /Stinky) was found in a barn at my parents house in Montague,NJ. We took him in when my Mom passed away in 2012. Squeezle McLoveMuffin wandered up to my front door screen ato check out Kitty Boy floyd around Memeorial Day 2018 & never left. DellaBella (aka Squirt) was captured at about 4 mos old back on April 13th 2022. It was abit traumatic for him at first but now he's loving every minute with us & his pal Squeezle.
	♥ 8:54am john_zilla: great show!!! thank you Amanda and Jim
	♥ 8:54am StringOFperils: I saved a miniature Yorkshire terrier's life a few summers ago, one dark evening, while fireworks were exploding everywhere in all the little parks and schoolyards. Skyrockets and Roman candles whooshed and boomed loudly. I was on my bicycle in traffic, when I spied an animal on the other side of the road, running at top speed, past the vegetable stands and flowers that were still out under dark awnings, and in and out and through all the legs that walked and strutted in all directions on the sidewalk, to an fro, like a forest of moving trees. The little tiny dog ran as fast as a big dog; I could see immediately that it was absolutely terrified! No one cared. No one saw. But I began to follow, peddling faster and faster! I had to make my way across to it at the next opportunity, maybe the next intersection at this rate! We were on opposite sides of two lanes of heavy traffic, with cars parked here and there along the curb lanes. The little dog flickered in and out, light and dark, kaboom kaboom!! Its speed was outstripping mine, and I was on a bike going downhill; it got past the next intersection, and it kept going and going! It was a really cute little dog. By the time we were over 3 long city blocks south, the little doge began to veer off the busy sidewalk and into the traffic. It looped outward in between and, seemingly, under and through the moving cars, more than once, unsure of how to escape or which way to go. I cringed, again and again, exclaiming, "Oh, no!!" Eventually it began to slow somewhat, and I saw my chance to get across to where it ran up into an doorway-alcove in front of a furniture store that was closed for the night, running tiny circles in a blind corner, from which there was no escape, other than to face the traffic or the hoards of indifferent people, rapidly moving north and south, whose giant boots might crush it underfoot, indifferently and blindly in the descending dark. I wheeled to the curb and a break in the traffic flow made it possible to rush across 4 lanes and roll up to the alcove. There, the poofiest little terrier twitched around in desperation and terror. It had a little pink ribbon tied in a bow on top of its head. I leaned the bike on a post and approached it. It ran but I grabbed it; it was so small. It tried to calm it with my voice but the city behind me was loud! The little dog's heart seemed about to explode. It pounded in its chest. I feared it would not survive even this. I was able to hold it in one hand, if I held it to my chest, and in this way I was able to ride, so we got on my bike and I took the next left, away from the main drag and into the leafy darkness of my neighbourhood streets, past the trees and under the lights. A group of adolescents saw us, and laughed derisively to see the funny man on his old bike who clutched such a foo-foo little ornament of a dog with a pink ribbon in its top-knot. I felt silly, but more than that, I felt terrible for the dog. It squirmed and writhed, and whimpered, and its heart never stopped beating like industrial dance music. I got it home and brought it in and it ran to a remote corner at the back of the house where there's a sliding glass door to a garden. It had a tag on its collar, with a phone number. I called it. A woman answered, and I told her that I had her dog, and asked her to please come and get it. She seemed confused, and asked where. It came out that I was in downtown Toronto, and she was somewhere in Mexico! And also, that the dog was living with her boyfriend, who was here. So she put me in touch with him, and he eventually found me, around 11 o'clock at night. The poor little dog. Her boyfriend was a young guy, with dreads. He'd been in a park, about half a mile north of my place, and a mile north of where I caught the dog. He seemed nonchalant, and looking down and seeing that he still had no leash with him, I something like, "Dude, your dog is absolutely terrified of fireworks; he/she's really lucky to be alive, she was in traffic." He just said thanks, and didn't seem to think about it much. But the trembling and shaking dog was happy to see someone familiar, and so the two turned and disappeared out into the night. I hope he acquired a leash...and maybe a little more empathy.
	♥ 8:55am love2laf: Thank you Amanda & Jim for all you to for the animals, and for us listeners. Have a great weekend everyone.
