Listener comments!
	6:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: First! Just kidding. That’s pathetic. I’m just excited because I finished work a bit early and can slack off now. PS: Trivia Q with prize for you smarties in the 4th quarter tonight.
	6:53pm David in California: Hello, Becky! Was it you who commented once that they didn't know of any bread recipe in which ground bones was an ingredient?
	6:54pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yes! And I think I may mention it again! Maybe bones are a good source of calcium?
	6:54pm Becky Ebenkamp: I just love magic beans tho.
	6:55pm David in California: I didn't realize giants were so nutrition conscious.
	6:55pm Becky Ebenkamp: That’s how they get so big & strong!
	6:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: Either that or they feast on… Magic Beans.
	6:57pm David in California: The Magic Beans would be particularly popular with the vegan giants.

	🍭 7:03pm Elaine-a-la: The East Coast E.
	7:03pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, from Seinfeld!
	7:04pm Jolly Green Giant: y'all behave...don't make me come down there!
	7:04pm Woo: Just potato salad MOM WHIG? What else? I will soon have beanstalks in my yard. Hope the rabbits don't like beanstalks.
	🍭 7:04pm Elaine-a-la: You got it Becky!
	🍭 7:04pm MOM WHIG: Woo leftover salmon from the other nite & broccoli too
	7:05pm Becky Ebenkamp: I was just going to impose a dance section to this show, but you can sit it out, Elaine. ; )
	7:05pm Woo: Great meal MOM WHIG. This Devo album sounds as fresh as it did 40 plus years ago.
	🍭 7:05pm Aitch: This DEVO on of my very fave records ever
	🍭 7:06pm Elaine-a-la: Whew! Thanx!!
	7:06pm Woo: Eno did an amazing job producing Devo
	7:07pm Mr Fab: Hi Becky! Devo, eh? Wildly expanding the definition of bubble gum here! Were you at that big Rose Bowl show the other night?
	7:07pm Becky Ebenkamp: Devo was a funny one for me. I went from absolute hate upon hearing their first song (Come Back, Jonee) to the second.
	7:08pm Becky Ebenkamp: And Girl U Want is a perfect classic pop song.
	7:09pm Motobro: Hi Bevcky, great rocking Devo track. Hi Mom, Woo, R Dub, et al.
	🍭 7:09pm MOM WHIG: Hey there Mr Fab
	7:09pm The Leather Boy: zoom zoom!
	🍭 7:10pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you Moto hi there Leather Boy
	7:10pm izzy: I was very confused seeing Devo on SNL knowing nothing about them at the time!
	7:10pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hey, Mr. Fab! My def is a little broad. I consider power pop, glam, cartoon music and stuff that has a connection to gum (like songwriters) My mission is to show people who “hate bubblegum” that they are soaking in it like Palmolive.
	7:10pm Becky Ebenkamp: Is that YOU, Milan?!
	🍭 7:10pm MOM WHIG: izzy is here to - hello
	7:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hard to recognize with so many names ; )
	7:11pm izzy: Or are these "OD"s or is that term retired?
	7:11pm Woo: I don't understand people who "hate bubblegum". I feel bad for them.
	7:12pm izzy: Hey Mom and all.
	7:12pm Androu B.: Hi, Becky, Mom Whig, Mr. Fab, & all the Bubblegum Boppers out there! I've got the perfect name for that cat: Sonny (after Sonny Crockett, natch)! And glad to hear you've come around to Devo, Becky! For years they've been fighting the good fight against the forces that put all free-thinkers to unjust shame.
	7:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: I’m a bubblegum OG.
	🍭 7:13pm MOM WHIG: Thanks for coming androu
	7:14pm Woo: I heard Indian Giver the other day and thought that would not fly today. But it's such a great song. Indian Lake by the Cowsills too, not because of the lyrics but the whooping.
	7:14pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi Androu! I saw Jerry Casals do a pretty outrageous novelty act singing Devo songs to uke and vibes.
	7:15pm Becky Ebenkamp: You will hear those songs here. I see them as placed in the right context.
	7:16pm Woo: Exactly Becky. I don't think they were badly intended. Just the times.
	7:16pm izzy: I have avoided spinning Indian Giver in the recent past...
	7:17pm Androu B.: @Woo Fyi, The Sugarhill Gang's "Apache" is still heard in stadiums everywhere, so that should tell you something about that issue.
	7:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: The way I see it, I am not misappropriating or making fun of other races. I am making fun of people who thought it was OK to do that !
	7:17pm izzy: I'll have to listen to Indian Lake more closely. Love the tune, tho.
	7:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: “First they came for the racist baseball teams…”
	7:18pm Motobro: Nice evening to be working in the driveway and listening away.
	7:18pm Androu B.: Howdy, Motobro!
	7:18pm The Friendly Clown: hey, happy birthday Joe!
	7:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: I cannot not spin the Sweet
	7:19pm Woo: I think the former Redskins should have kept Washington Football Team as their name.
	7:20pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, whew. We have gotten lucky on both the giant and clown fronts tonight…
	7:20pm izzy: I just got back from the Cleveland Guardians game.
	7:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: Izzy, tell that person Joe is real! You remember him from the old chat room!
	7:21pm Mr Fab: PLEASE tell me there are recordings of Jerry Casales’ uke and vibes act!
	7:22pm izzy: Poppa Joe IS real. I saw him on the short-lived video chat. Maybe you need to hook THAT back up!
	7:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, I’m sure there are recordings. It was from the Tiki Oasis when Jeffrey Epstein killed himself
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: Man, I loved the video chat! Pet Day!
	7:24pm izzy: It didn't last too long, did it?
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Jerry Casale thing sounds like it would be kitschy crap, but was actually good.
	7:25pm izzy: 5 or 6 times?
	7:25pm Thee Mystery Gyrl: Hey Hey everyone!
	7:25pm Kelly K: Just remembered there's a song 'Bubblegum' from the Nacho Libre soundtrack. Probably more in the tex-mex novelty realm, which is not a big realm!
	7:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi Kelly! That sounds familiar! Maybe mariachi?
	🍭 7:26pm MOM WHIG: Hi TMG & Kelly K
	7:26pm Androu B.: @Woo - Since you bring up the subject, I can suggest a solution for the Kansas City Chiefs if they become the next ones to be called out: Keep the name, but change the logo from an arrowhead to a fireman's hat with a hook & ladder behind it.
	7:26pm Richard Whig: hey we've all had dates like this!
	7:26pm Mr Fab: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself at Tiki Oasis?! That must have been quite a show.
	7:26pm Thee Mystery Gyrl: Nice Bo vibes!
	7:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Izzy, for six months or so I think. But it broke one out of four weeks.
	7:27pm Becky Ebenkamp: That’s redundant!
	🍭 7:27pm MOM WHIG: Woo on that one too
	7:27pm Woo: Problem solved Androu!
	7:27pm izzy: Good Kinks!
	7:28pm Becky Ebenkamp: ; ) Charlottesville happened at Tiki O too. And they were carrying tiki torches. We have great luck.
	7:28pm Kelly K: Anything form the KInks VGPS is pure gold! Thanks Becky!!
	7:28pm Becky Ebenkamp: Mike Viola sang this at the Wild Honey Kinks trib.
	7:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: Perfect for him. He screwed up a bit but they prob deleted for the YT.
	7:29pm Mr Fab: Johnny Thunders should have recorded a song called “The Kinks.”
	7:29pm izzy: That would have been cool to see!
	7:30pm Becky Ebenkamp: Does anyone know if he took his moniker from that?
	7:30pm Woo: Johnny had his hands full trading insults with the Sex Pistols, some of whom he then had play on So Alone.
	7:31pm izzy: Hmmm. Says Tommy James in the small print of this one.
	7:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Upcoming creatures include monkeys and killer rats. Look out for them in the chat!
	7:31pm Mike Sin: Great track by the Kinks. And there was a "Johnny Thunder" floating around at the time or shortly thereafter with that great version of "I'm Alive"
	7:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Jinx!
	7:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Mike, according to his website, he’s still out there somewhere!
	7:33pm Woo: OK I clicky starred the kids.
	7:33pm Cali4nyaStreamin': jumping rope a little late
	7:34pm izzy: Sounds like a Ben sighting coming up!
	7:34pm Becky Ebenkamp: These was clearly East Coast rhymes. The West Coast ones I grew up with were entirely different.
	7:34pm Kelly K: Yes - that 'Bubblegum' song is a mariachi/texmex kinda tune! it's fun, just thought of it out of the blue! Good show Becky!
	7:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: I may have it bc I think I looked it up. Thanks!
	🍭 7:35pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here Mike
	7:35pm Androu B.: Oh wow, the ZOOM kids! That brings back some childhood memories!
	7:36pm Milkies: 😭
	7:36pm Becky Ebenkamp: Androu, was it? I have a couple of Zoom records… I should make sure I’m not mixing it up with my Folkways recording. I think Zoom has an “Ipsaleenee” song.
	7:36pm Woo: Would John Lennon love this version of Walrus? I think yes.
	7:36pm David in California: I wish that Paul Frees had followed up singing Hey Jude as Peter Lorre with Peter Lorre singing Ben.
	7:37pm Androu B.: I'm suddenly reminded of Irwin Chusid's home made tapes from his childhood.
	7:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: Please play this (Walrus by children) at my funeral.
	7:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: David! Me too!
	7:38pm izzy: Peter Lorre doing Ben would rule!
	7:38pm Skinny Robbie: Tommy James and the Shondells released "I'm Alive" on LP Dec. 1968, while the Johnny Thunders 45 was released March 1969.
	7:38pm Skinny Robbie: I mean Thunder
	🍭 7:38pm MOM WHIG: Hi Skinny R
	7:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: I don’t know those, Androu. Irwin is an old pal of mine from NY days.
	7:38pm izzy: Thanks for the info, Skinny!
	7:39pm Skinny Robbie: Hey Mom and all the rest of you gummers
	7:39pm Motobro: This is some trippy shit. And goofing on me through th speakers. One channel totally different…
	7:39pm Mr Fab: I am now imagining Peter Lorre doing “Ben.” Sounds great in my imagination.
	7:39pm Woo: Will Irwin ever return to the airwaves? He's the one who got me listening to FMU.
	7:40pm Becky Ebenkamp: My Knight in Shining Armor ; ) Hi, Robbie!
	7:40pm Motobro: Woo, your Old Pal Irwin… I hear ya; he has been on for at least 35 years.
	7:40pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, wait, I got that backwards?
	7:40pm Skinny Robbie: Hello, my dear queen of bubblegum! :-)
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: I saw 1968 for Johnny!
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: My source was the Bible. What was your guys?
	7:41pm robin banks: Hi Becky! You rule!!
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ducking…
	🍭 7:42pm MOM WHIG: HI ROBIN BANKS
	7:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: Robin!!! Hi!
	7:43pm Mr Fab: Woo: rumor has it that Irwin and the Old Codger are never seen in the same room at the same time…
	7:43pm Skinny Robbie: I thought Thunder was still on Diamond Records in 1968 (source: the Quran)
	7:43pm Woo: 20 years ago I was doing some college radio (long past my college days) and Irwin was a guest once. Talking Jandek and other things.
	7:43pm Androu B.: @Woo - Irwin fills in for Jesse Jarnow every once in a while. Cross your fingers & tune in. He comes up when you least expect it.
	7:44pm Skinny Robbie: First hear for me on this track...just KILLER!
	7:44pm Becky Ebenkamp: A nine year old!
	7:44pm izzy: Bruce Gary play the drum fill?
	7:45pm Becky Ebenkamp: Good guess, Izzy!
	7:45pm izzy: Good CT!
	7:45pm Skinny Robbie: Speaking of Robin...
	7:45pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Robin Zander's voice is gone
	7:46pm Becky Ebenkamp: If no one else gets it I’ll send you the prize as if you were a Millennial and it were a participation trophy.
	7:46pm Becky Ebenkamp: Not here!
	7:46pm izzy: CT's opening for Rod Stewart here. Weird combo...
	7:46pm Milkies: Bun E?
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
	7:47pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Bun E. Carlos is gone sadly
	7:47pm Androu B.: Yeah, Cheap Trick today (the surviving members) are just mere shells of what they used to be.
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: Rick Nielsen. Is my hero. Hope I spelled that right.
	7:47pm Skinny Robbie: I missed the question...
	7:47pm Woo: odd combo there izzy. Saw Rod on Bill Maher the other night. He looks great and seems to be enjoying life.
	7:48pm izzy: I'll just say Hal Blaine then!
	🍭 7:48pm MOM WHIG: Hi Cali4
	7:48pm Cali4nyaStreamin': we are all getting older by the minute
	7:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, who played the drums (opening, at least) on Mark’s track?
	7:48pm Skinny Robbie: I disagree about Robin & CT, they're still putting out good records.
	7:48pm izzy: Heard Rod was on. I may sneak to that gig and weasel in somehow.
	7:49pm Cali4nyaStreamin': music was good at one time; and here on WFMU
	7:49pm Skinny Robbie: Hal Blaine?
	7:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: Good strategic guess, Izzy. Got about 80% of the market covered there
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: East Coast
	7:50pm izzy: Then I'll say Dennis Wilson.
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: Robin, got any DJ gigs coming up?
	7:50pm izzy: Gary Chester.
	7:51pm izzy: Ron Dante.
	7:51pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ooh, getting closer… ps: I’ll change the TJ info. I knew he wrote it but had bad info on the Johnny got there first part.
	7:52pm izzy: Tommy Ramone
	7:52pm Becky Ebenkamp: OK, only 100 guesses per person. Thanks you guys, this is cheering me up.
	7:52pm Eric R: having fun guessing what the question is!
	7:52pm Androu B.: I will admit, though, that Rick is still one of the most extraordinary guitarists in rock history, band not just because of the fact that he owns some of the world's most exceptional collections of axes around, including, of course, his well-known 5-neck bass.
	7:53pm Becky Ebenkamp: Story about that in the Mark interview when I get around to run ing it, too. Hoping it will be next week.
	7:53pm izzy: Best bridge EVER!
	7:54pm Skinny Robbie: Sandy Nelson?
	7:55pm izzy: Eric's gotta leave the plastic surgery alone, tho!
	7:55pm Eric R: I'm guessing the question involves a drummer. Somebody help me out here.
	🍭 7:55pm MOM WHIG: Becky - time is almost gone for us here at the Bubblegum Exceptional Show - thanks for allowing us into your WORLD! Hey there Eric
	7:55pm Woo: Thanks for a wonderful show Becky!
	7:56pm Kelly K: Thanks for the welcome MomWhig! Have a great week!
	7:56pm David in California: Pete Best? Thank you, Becky! I've enjoyed the show!
	7:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: CT played a very small venue here several years ago and I had that figured out. The day of the show, Domenic was an hour late getting home and primped like a girl, making us another hour late. I caught zero Rick guitar picks and had to be satisfied standing behind a pack of frat boys.
	7:57pm Androu B.: Thanx for another fun show, Beckers!
	7:57pm Becky Ebenkamp: I’m over it now tho
	7:57pm Milkies: Thanks for going all the way
	7:58pm Becky Ebenkamp: Bye, you pretty people! Thanks for stopping by tonite. Be sure to stick around for the headliner…
	7:58pm izzy: We're the frat boys there to hear "The Flame"?
	7:58pm Skinny Robbie: I had a Rick pick I caught at a show from their tour between the first LP and In Color. Then lost it. Not over it.
	7:59pm izzy: Think I still have a Rick pick here somewhere.
	7:59pm Skinny Robbie: Delightful show, Becky.
	7:59pm Becky Ebenkamp: I caught one at the L.A. Colusseum ; )
	8:00pm Becky Ebenkamp: Why doesn’t autocorrect catch that?
	8:00pm izzy: I don't think there's AC in the chat.
	8:19pm robin banks: Rippin tunes!!

	7:12pm Androu B.: Hi, Becky, Mom Whig, Mr. Fab, & all the Bubblegum Boppers out there! I've got the perfect name for that cat: Sonny (after Sonny Crockett, natch)! And glad to hear you've come around to Devo, Becky! For years they've been fighting the good fight against the forces that put all free-thinkers to unjust shame.
	7:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: I’m a bubblegum OG.
	🍭 7:13pm MOM WHIG: Thanks for coming androu
	7:14pm Woo: I heard Indian Giver the other day and thought that would not fly today. But it's such a great song. Indian Lake by the Cowsills too, not because of the lyrics but the whooping.
	7:14pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi Androu! I saw Jerry Casals do a pretty outrageous novelty act singing Devo songs to uke and vibes.
	7:15pm Becky Ebenkamp: You will hear those songs here. I see them as placed in the right context.
	7:16pm Woo: Exactly Becky. I don't think they were badly intended. Just the times.
	7:16pm izzy: I have avoided spinning Indian Giver in the recent past...
	7:17pm Androu B.: @Woo Fyi, The Sugarhill Gang's "Apache" is still heard in stadiums everywhere, so that should tell you something about that issue.
	7:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: The way I see it, I am not misappropriating or making fun of other races. I am making fun of people who thought it was OK to do that !
	7:17pm izzy: I'll have to listen to Indian Lake more closely. Love the tune, tho.
	7:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: “First they came for the racist baseball teams…”
	7:18pm Motobro: Nice evening to be working in the driveway and listening away.
	7:18pm Androu B.: Howdy, Motobro!
	7:18pm The Friendly Clown: hey, happy birthday Joe!
	7:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: I cannot not spin the Sweet
	7:19pm Woo: I think the former Redskins should have kept Washington Football Team as their name.
	7:20pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, whew. We have gotten lucky on both the giant and clown fronts tonight…
	7:20pm izzy: I just got back from the Cleveland Guardians game.
	7:21pm Becky Ebenkamp: Izzy, tell that person Joe is real! You remember him from the old chat room!
	7:21pm Mr Fab: PLEASE tell me there are recordings of Jerry Casales’ uke and vibes act!
	7:22pm izzy: Poppa Joe IS real. I saw him on the short-lived video chat. Maybe you need to hook THAT back up!
	7:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, I’m sure there are recordings. It was from the Tiki Oasis when Jeffrey Epstein killed himself
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: Man, I loved the video chat! Pet Day!
	7:24pm izzy: It didn't last too long, did it?
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: The Jerry Casale thing sounds like it would be kitschy crap, but was actually good.
	7:25pm izzy: 5 or 6 times?
	7:25pm Thee Mystery Gyrl: Hey Hey everyone!
	7:25pm Kelly K: Just remembered there's a song 'Bubblegum' from the Nacho Libre soundtrack. Probably more in the tex-mex novelty realm, which is not a big realm!
	7:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi Kelly! That sounds familiar! Maybe mariachi?
	🍭 7:26pm MOM WHIG: Hi TMG & Kelly K
	7:26pm Androu B.: @Woo - Since you bring up the subject, I can suggest a solution for the Kansas City Chiefs if they become the next ones to be called out: Keep the name, but change the logo from an arrowhead to a fireman's hat with a hook & ladder behind it.
	7:26pm Richard Whig: hey we've all had dates like this!
	7:26pm Mr Fab: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself at Tiki Oasis?! That must have been quite a show.
	7:26pm Thee Mystery Gyrl: Nice Bo vibes!
	7:26pm Becky Ebenkamp: Izzy, for six months or so I think. But it broke one out of four weeks.
	7:27pm Becky Ebenkamp: That’s redundant!
	🍭 7:27pm MOM WHIG: Woo on that one too
	7:27pm Woo: Problem solved Androu!
	7:27pm izzy: Good Kinks!
	7:28pm Becky Ebenkamp: ; ) Charlottesville happened at Tiki O too. And they were carrying tiki torches. We have great luck.
	7:28pm Kelly K: Anything form the KInks VGPS is pure gold! Thanks Becky!!
	7:28pm Becky Ebenkamp: Mike Viola sang this at the Wild Honey Kinks trib.
	7:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: Perfect for him. He screwed up a bit but they prob deleted for the YT.
	7:29pm Mr Fab: Johnny Thunders should have recorded a song called “The Kinks.”
	7:29pm izzy: That would have been cool to see!
	7:30pm Becky Ebenkamp: Does anyone know if he took his moniker from that?
	7:30pm Woo: Johnny had his hands full trading insults with the Sex Pistols, some of whom he then had play on So Alone.
	7:31pm izzy: Hmmm. Says Tommy James in the small print of this one.
	7:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Upcoming creatures include monkeys and killer rats. Look out for them in the chat!
	7:31pm Mike Sin: Great track by the Kinks. And there was a "Johnny Thunder" floating around at the time or shortly thereafter with that great version of "I'm Alive"
	7:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Jinx!
	7:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Mike, according to his website, he’s still out there somewhere!
	7:33pm Woo: OK I clicky starred the kids.
	7:33pm Cali4nyaStreamin': jumping rope a little late
	7:34pm izzy: Sounds like a Ben sighting coming up!
	7:34pm Becky Ebenkamp: These was clearly East Coast rhymes. The West Coast ones I grew up with were entirely different.
	7:34pm Kelly K: Yes - that 'Bubblegum' song is a mariachi/texmex kinda tune! it's fun, just thought of it out of the blue! Good show Becky!
	7:35pm Becky Ebenkamp: I may have it bc I think I looked it up. Thanks!
	🍭 7:35pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here Mike
	7:35pm Androu B.: Oh wow, the ZOOM kids! That brings back some childhood memories!
	7:36pm Milkies: 😭
	7:36pm Becky Ebenkamp: Androu, was it? I have a couple of Zoom records… I should make sure I’m not mixing it up with my Folkways recording. I think Zoom has an “Ipsaleenee” song.
	7:36pm Woo: Would John Lennon love this version of Walrus? I think yes.
	7:36pm David in California: I wish that Paul Frees had followed up singing Hey Jude as Peter Lorre with Peter Lorre singing Ben.
	7:37pm Androu B.: I'm suddenly reminded of Irwin Chusid's home made tapes from his childhood.
	7:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: Please play this (Walrus by children) at my funeral.
	7:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: David! Me too!
	7:38pm izzy: Peter Lorre doing Ben would rule!
	7:38pm Skinny Robbie: Tommy James and the Shondells released "I'm Alive" on LP Dec. 1968, while the Johnny Thunders 45 was released March 1969.
	7:38pm Skinny Robbie: I mean Thunder
	🍭 7:38pm MOM WHIG: Hi Skinny R
	7:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: I don’t know those, Androu. Irwin is an old pal of mine from NY days.
	7:38pm izzy: Thanks for the info, Skinny!
	7:39pm Skinny Robbie: Hey Mom and all the rest of you gummers
	7:39pm Motobro: This is some trippy shit. And goofing on me through th speakers. One channel totally different…
	7:39pm Mr Fab: I am now imagining Peter Lorre doing “Ben.” Sounds great in my imagination.
	7:39pm Woo: Will Irwin ever return to the airwaves? He's the one who got me listening to FMU.
	7:40pm Becky Ebenkamp: My Knight in Shining Armor ; ) Hi, Robbie!
	7:40pm Motobro: Woo, your Old Pal Irwin… I hear ya; he has been on for at least 35 years.
	7:40pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, wait, I got that backwards?
	7:40pm Skinny Robbie: Hello, my dear queen of bubblegum! :-)
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: I saw 1968 for Johnny!
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: My source was the Bible. What was your guys?
	7:41pm robin banks: Hi Becky! You rule!!
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ducking…
	🍭 7:42pm MOM WHIG: HI ROBIN BANKS
	7:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: Robin!!! Hi!
	7:43pm Mr Fab: Woo: rumor has it that Irwin and the Old Codger are never seen in the same room at the same time…
	7:43pm Skinny Robbie: I thought Thunder was still on Diamond Records in 1968 (source: the Quran)
	7:43pm Woo: 20 years ago I was doing some college radio (long past my college days) and Irwin was a guest once. Talking Jandek and other things.
	7:43pm Androu B.: @Woo - Irwin fills in for Jesse Jarnow every once in a while. Cross your fingers & tune in. He comes up when you least expect it.
	7:44pm Skinny Robbie: First hear for me on this track...just KILLER!
	7:44pm Becky Ebenkamp: A nine year old!
	7:44pm izzy: Bruce Gary play the drum fill?
	7:45pm Becky Ebenkamp: Good guess, Izzy!
	7:45pm izzy: Good CT!
	7:45pm Skinny Robbie: Speaking of Robin...
	7:45pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Robin Zander's voice is gone
	7:46pm Becky Ebenkamp: If no one else gets it I’ll send you the prize as if you were a Millennial and it were a participation trophy.
	7:46pm Becky Ebenkamp: Not here!
	7:46pm izzy: CT's opening for Rod Stewart here. Weird combo...
	7:46pm Milkies: Bun E?
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
	7:47pm Cali4nyaStreamin': Bun E. Carlos is gone sadly
	7:47pm Androu B.: Yeah, Cheap Trick today (the surviving members) are just mere shells of what they used to be.
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: Rick Nielsen. Is my hero. Hope I spelled that right.
	7:47pm Skinny Robbie: I missed the question...
	7:47pm Woo: odd combo there izzy. Saw Rod on Bill Maher the other night. He looks great and seems to be enjoying life.
	7:48pm izzy: I'll just say Hal Blaine then!
	🍭 7:48pm MOM WHIG: Hi Cali4
	7:48pm Cali4nyaStreamin': we are all getting older by the minute
	7:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, who played the drums (opening, at least) on Mark’s track?
	7:48pm Skinny Robbie: I disagree about Robin & CT, they're still putting out good records.
	7:48pm izzy: Heard Rod was on. I may sneak to that gig and weasel in somehow.
	7:49pm Cali4nyaStreamin': music was good at one time; and here on WFMU
	7:49pm Skinny Robbie: Hal Blaine?
	7:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: Good strategic guess, Izzy. Got about 80% of the market covered there
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: East Coast
	7:50pm izzy: Then I'll say Dennis Wilson.
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: Robin, got any DJ gigs coming up?
	7:50pm izzy: Gary Chester.
	7:51pm izzy: Ron Dante.
	7:51pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ooh, getting closer… ps: I’ll change the TJ info. I knew he wrote it but had bad info on the Johnny got there first part.
	7:52pm izzy: Tommy Ramone
	7:52pm Becky Ebenkamp: OK, only 100 guesses per person. Thanks you guys, this is cheering me up.
	7:52pm Eric R: having fun guessing what the question is!
	7:52pm Androu B.: I will admit, though, that Rick is still one of the most extraordinary guitarists in rock history, band not just because of the fact that he owns some of the world's most exceptional collections of axes around, including, of course, his well-known 5-neck bass.
	7:53pm Becky Ebenkamp: Story about that in the Mark interview when I get around to run ing it, too. Hoping it will be next week.
	7:53pm izzy: Best bridge EVER!
	7:54pm Skinny Robbie: Sandy Nelson?
	7:55pm izzy: Eric's gotta leave the plastic surgery alone, tho!
	7:55pm Eric R: I'm guessing the question involves a drummer. Somebody help me out here.
	🍭 7:55pm MOM WHIG: Becky - time is almost gone for us here at the Bubblegum Exceptional Show - thanks for allowing us into your WORLD! Hey there Eric
	7:55pm Woo: Thanks for a wonderful show Becky!
	7:56pm Kelly K: Thanks for the welcome MomWhig! Have a great week!
	7:56pm David in California: Pete Best? Thank you, Becky! I've enjoyed the show!
	7:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: CT played a very small venue here several years ago and I had that figured out. The day of the show, Domenic was an hour late getting home and primped like a girl, making us another hour late. I caught zero Rick guitar picks and had to be satisfied standing behind a pack of frat boys.
	7:57pm Androu B.: Thanx for another fun show, Beckers!
	7:57pm Becky Ebenkamp: I’m over it now tho
	7:57pm Milkies: Thanks for going all the way
	7:58pm Becky Ebenkamp: Bye, you pretty people! Thanks for stopping by tonite. Be sure to stick around for the headliner…
	7:58pm izzy: We're the frat boys there to hear "The Flame"?
	7:58pm Skinny Robbie: I had a Rick pick I caught at a show from their tour between the first LP and In Color. Then lost it. Not over it.
	7:59pm izzy: Think I still have a Rick pick here somewhere.
	7:59pm Skinny Robbie: Delightful show, Becky.
	7:59pm Becky Ebenkamp: I caught one at the L.A. Colusseum ; )
	8:00pm Becky Ebenkamp: Why doesn’t autocorrect catch that?
	8:00pm izzy: I don't think there's AC in the chat.
	8:19pm robin banks: Rippin tunes!!
