	4:52pm Aitch: Ohayo Mike-san and gang

	4:54pm Mike Rogers: Hi Aitch san!!!!!
	4:55pm Mike Rogers: Maybe that JIFF link is wrong?
	4:59pm Scott67: G'day Mike & Mates! 🌏☀️💻🎶☕😎🤙💨☕🌻
	5:00pm mochy: マイクさんおはようございます
	5:00pm Mike Rogers: Hey Scott67 san!
	5:01pm ultradamno: Mr Rogers! Neighbors!
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: Hi Mochy san!
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san!!!!!!
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: Let's rock n roll!
	5:01pm Mr Fab: Hi Mike! Guitar Wolf look like they wanna rumble. Bet they carry switchblades.
	5:02pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, Mr. Fab, these guys look scary... but they are really nice guys (excepting if they are drunk - which is a lot of the time!)
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: I think switchblades might be illegal in Japan! Japan has a thing about weapons with blades.
	5:05pm Mr Fab: I read an interesting article about the Yakuza. It turns out that there IS crime in Japan, but the Yakuza are so ingrained into Japanese society that many times the cops won't go after them. It's just business as usual.
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: I gotta go to the doctor right after this show (again) My regular doctor is sick.
	5:06pm ultradamno: There is even a song about them by Crime themselves
	5:07pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, the Yakuza committee drives, but they leave us regular old folk alone. They only fight with each other.... Very polite gentlemen, actually, but so polite they are scary (think Clint Eastwood polite.)
	5:07pm Mike Rogers: I mean, "commit crimes."
	5:08pm Mike Rogers: Nice radio station you have here... be a real shame if something bad happened to it.. Mr. Fab, my friend...
	5:08pm TARUI: Good Morning,Mike-san.
	5:09pm mochy: 垂井さん、おはようございます
	5:09pm Mike Rogers: Tarui san! Hey!I'm going to play your band today!
	5:09pm Scott67: Massive mid-week gig at TRASH CULT last night. Portland Band, Jenny Don't & The Spurs. Brilliant fun, lovely people, Jenny voted for my T-Shirt Design to. 🍻😎🤙
	5:10pm Mike Rogers: Of course, you, er, "paid" her for her vote, right?
	5:10pm Mr Fab: Haha! Are there Yakuza gangsta rappers?
	5:10pm TARUI: Good Morning, mochy-san.
	5:11pm ultradamno: I think all but one of the Nazareth lineup that recorded Hair Of The Dog are now dead, you may now mess with them.
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: I have never heard of Yakuza Rappers.... Good idea for a band name! Yakuza seem to like Enka music or Eiikichi Yazawa.
	5:13pm ultradamno: I remember when Al Gore started talking about the yakuza the republicans talked like he made it up.
	5:13pm aco: Ohayo gozaimasu, Mike san, Tarui san!
	5:15pm mochy: It seems to be a live in Koenji nearby!
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: I know some Yakuza... I said "I know them" I definitely do not hang out with them.... They aren't exactly "Fishing Buddies" types. My daughter was dating a Yakuza boss type of person.
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: Of course, every family needs a doctor, a lawyer, and a Yakuza.
	5:17pm Mike Rogers: Hi Aco san!!!!!
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: Hey Ultradamno san, Al Gore talked about the Yakuza????
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: But the Yakuza consider themselves outsiders. That's why they won't even bother with us, because we are outsiders too.
	5:19pm ultradamno: Yeah, something to do with their control over trade/imports that kind thing (essentially being a pacific rim cartel)
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: I have never met a Yakuza that wasn't super polite!
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: In Japan's past, the police and the Yakuza came from the same place so the police won't generally mess with the Yakuza either.
	5:21pm ultradamno: Do you know them by looking at their hands?
	5:21pm Mike Rogers: I'll make this short. See? A long time ago, the government got rid of the warlords. Then all these samurai suddenly had no job. So they became Ronin and started roaming the countryside. They began robbing the village people.
	5:22pm TARUI: Good morning, Aco-san. Mike said that he will OnAir the KTB's song on today's his show.
	5:22pm ultradamno: They robbed The Village People....at the YMCA?
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: So, the village people got the young men to start guarding their towns. (This is where Japanese police boxes came from) But you can't work 24 hours a day so....
	5:24pm mochy: そろそろ仕事に入ります！アーカイブ休みの日にじっくり聴きます！
	5:24pm Mike Rogers: These young men started controlling the entertainment business (and they still do today in a big way) dancers, geisha, singers, blah, blah...
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: So different towns handled the situation differently, but the are was the police boxes. And now you know the rest of the story.
	5:26pm Mike Rogers: I mean, they both started with "police boxes"
	5:26pm Mike Rogers: So, you can have a big town where the chief of police is the, say, brother or brother in law of the local Yakuza.
	5:27pm Mike Rogers: Shinjuku got all F'ed up when the Yakuza left. Now it's wild.
	5:27pm Mike Rogers: But, it's still Japan, so not too crazy, but it doesn't feel like Japan.
	5:29pm Mike Rogers: Aitch san! Yeah, if a guy is missing a pinky finger, best to be very polite to him and leave as quietly as you can.
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: I'll bet they had the YMCA a few hundred years ago (different name, but the concept is the same!)
	5:31pm ultradamno: That was me, about the hands. What is that food she has?
	5:32pm ultradamno: Well, they were Macho Men then as now.
	5:32pm Mike Rogers: You mean, the Kissatens? That's a big hamburger.
	5:32pm Scott67: Now I'm craving a burger! Can't imagine why? 🍻😎🤙🍔
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: Yakuza will say very calmly and politely, "You are the one who is going to get hurt."
	5:33pm ultradamno: So that's bun? That's an insane amount of bun.
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: If that happens, best to say "Sorry" and leave.
	5:33pm ultradamno: ...and only a hint of meat
	5:34pm Mike Rogers: Good burgers here in Japan cost well over $12
	5:35pm Scott67: Same here Mike! But my local Fish & chip shop does a rippa for $9.50🍔
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: I have heard that Mac has worm meat in it. In Australia, they have giant worms!!!! Is that true?
	5:36pm ultradamno: Does Japan have a policy on toad licking? Here, the National Park Service is on the record against it people.com...
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: Same as everywhere, I guess, good food comes from Mom & Pop shops, not chain restaurants.
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! I have never heard of that!
	5:37pm Scott67: Hah! It would be the least of my worries eating McShit! I never eat their corporate crap mate.
	5:37pm Mike Rogers: Do people lick the toads to get high?
	5:38pm ultradamno: Yeah, psychedelic excretions
	5:38pm Mike Rogers: Good for you, Scott67 san! Me neither!
	5:39pm Scott67: Get high & die. Cane Toads are highly toxic, they kill thousands of Native Animals & Pets each year.
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: Really? Nah, I don't think they have those Cane Toads here in Japan.
	5:41pm Mike Rogers: I read in a magazine about those Cane Toads. They are not indigenous to Australia. I think I read about that in National Geographic, or was it in People Magazine?
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: Magic Mushroom weren't illegal here until about two years ago. Used to be able to buy them at Shibuya shops
	5:44pm ultradamno: Could have been this article a few years ago about how South Florida is overrun with cane toads, causing concern over whether the toxic environment would harm them people.com...
	5:45pm Scott67: We never had em in Australia either, until they were introduced to "control" Sugar Cane Beetle. Which they don't! They just poison our Wildlife when they eat them.
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: They started getting popular so then the government made Mushrooms Illegal.... What a Buzzkill!
	5:46pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, Scott67, the government to the rescue. Have you read about when Mao in China tried to kill all of the sparrows? Disaster.
	5:47pm Scott67: Man playing with the Natural Balance is always a folly Mike.🌏
	5:51pm chagama: mikeさん皆さんおはようございます。本日休みです。油断してたら先ほど起きました！がははー－
	5:51pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! 頑張って！
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: Hi Chagama san!!!!
	5:53pm chagama: mike師匠お疲れ様です！今から最後まで参加します🎶
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: My friend was telling me how we are killing the earth the other day. I told her, "Nah, the earth ain’t going anywhere. We are！Thaks George Carlin!"
	5:54pm Aitch: Theee Batman!!!
	5:54pm chagama: mochyさんおはようございます！御機嫌な一日を
	5:58pm ultradamno: I like this moth, Creatonotos, Australia has I wouldn't lick it either twitter.com... atargatis.news...
	6:00pm Mike Rogers: Ugh! Disgusting!!!! Maybe in soup it would be fine!
	6:02pm Mike Rogers: In China, when they serve you "Bird's Nest Soup" It is "As advertised!"
	6:05pm Aitch: Weird critter, but not bitey.
	6:07pm Mike Rogers: Ever been to Thailand, Aitch san? Fried food stalls have crawlies. Actually taste pretty good.
	6:08pm Feldy: Hello Mike san!
	6:09pm Mike Rogers: Hi Feldy san!!!
	6:09pm Mike Rogers: Aitch and I are talking about eating bugs.
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, some people eat crickets (and unknowingly eat worms at McDonalds!)
	6:14pm Feldy: I might eat bugs before the stinky tofu. I couldn't get myself to try it in the Taiwan night market
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: Oh, yeah, the stinky Tofu. I can't handle that either....
	6:16pm Mike Rogers: Tofu is bean curd, right? So isn't that kind of "Spolied" so my friend told me the stinky Tofu was totally safe.... But that smell!? Urghhhh!
	6:18pm ultradamno: There's a city in my state, French Lick, that is devoted to the bottling of Pluto Water, which smells like rotten eggs and is a laxative.
	6:19pm Shineman: Indiana
	6:19pm Aitch: About 25 times Mike-san, fave holiday place. Crunched my way through a few insects, like spikey corn chips. Stinky bean curd truly revolting!
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! I'll bet that a good laxative!!!!
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: Shineman san! Welcome! I've been to Indiana before.... But that was like 55 or 60 years ago.
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: They have those giant spiders friend. I haven't had to courage to try those yet! Aitch. I love Thailand too!
	6:21pm ultradamno: "Relief for constipation in 30 to 2 hours" quite a window they allow themselves www.indystar.com...
	6:21pm Aitch: Pigs in outer space is what I always mis-hear
	6:21pm Shineman: Isn't French Lick is?
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: Wow! 30 to 2 hours.... I'd wager that's a mistake... Or honest packaging....
	6:22pm Scott67: I've eaten fried Cricket, Ant & Meal worm. I would do the Meal worm again. An Aussie Woman is making burgers from them now. I'd scoff one!🍔🐛
	6:22pm ultradamno: In Indiana? Yes. Speaking of People Magazine, they've just declared Captain America the sexiest man alive
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: Pigs in Outer Space??? Bwa! Ha! Ha!
	6:23pm Shineman: Great show been listening for 3 weeks
	6:23pm ultradamno: 30 *minutes to 2 hours...a mistake, but on my part
	6:23pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Shineman san!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
	6:24pm Mike Rogers: Captain America isn't even a real guy!!!
	6:24pm Shineman: Used to live in Laporte In Madison WI now
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: Is it cold there, now? Shineman san?
	6:26pm Aitch: What about Homelander from The Boys?
	6:28pm Shineman: Yes now but was warm for Nov. until this week
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: Aitch, I have no idea what you are talking about? What is Homelander? Who are the Boys?
	6:30pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, Shineman, it's gotten kind of cold here in Japan.
	6:30pm chagama: 美空ひばりさんはアメリカで言えば誰に当たるんでしょうか？とにかく日本の永遠の歌姫ですねー
	6:32pm Aitch: TV anti-Superhero show Mike San. Homelander looks like Cpt America, but is a parody of Trump. Very funny, but lots of violence.
	6:32pm Mike Rogers: Chagama san, 誰もあたてない！あったてない
	6:33pm ultradamno: I haven't seen it, it's on Hulu I think. I always liked Aya Cash on You're The Worst though.
	6:34pm ultradamno: Worse, it's on Prime
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: Oh? My wife watches Hulu（I think)
	6:35pm Aitch: Best thing since Preacher finished
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: Is Prime a bad service?
	6:35pm ultradamno: It's Amazon, so yes
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: That last Tv show I actually watched religiously was "X-Files"
	6:36pm ultradamno: Atlanta, Los Espookys and Chucky are the best!
	6:36pm Ted: You can watch "Ghostroads" on Prime for "free," but I don't have Prime.
	6:38pm Mike Rogers: What? For free???? OK. Someone is getting screwed over here.
	6:39pm Mike Rogers: Hi Ted! Thanks for the good news today!Ha! Ha! Ha!
	6:40pm ultradamno: This sounds like Joy Division on 45 rpm
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: I don't like the new "Team" culture of these big companies. The first time some guy referred to me as "Team" I knew I had to quit that company.
	6:41pm Ted: Hi Mike-Prime is $8.99 for streaming video per month. So you might want to contact Bezos.
	6:41pm chagama: つしまみれ、来月ライブ行きます（ようやく）😃🎶
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: I didn't want to be in the team with those morons.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: Bezos would probably say, "Hey! Weren't you a Team member before?" Puke!
	6:42pm ultradamno: Oh, the other best thing on TV this week, no kidding, is Lyle Lovett & His Large Band on Austin City Limits. His 17th appearance on the show, they said, and honestly, a delight. Chris Isaak guests on a Roy Orbison cover.
	6:43pm Mike Rogers: Big corporate culture and this "Team" nonsense gives me the creeps
	6:45pm Mike Rogers: Whose idea was it to start calling a group of people working on a project "Team?"
	6:45pm Aitch: Likely an american
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: For some reason, it really bothered me.
	6:46pm ultradamno: Probably goes back to the 90s or so with team building retreats and excercises
	6:47pm Power Papi: Ghostroads is $1.99 to stream on Prime, but free on Tubi ...with commercials
	6:47pm Aitch: An the word "stakeholder" should only be used in vampire movies
	6:47pm Mike Rogers: The commercials are probably the best part!
	6:48pm Ted: From what I can tell "Ghostroads" can be rented from Amazon in the U.S. A few months ago it was streaming for Prime members. It does appear to now be on Tubi for free with ads.
	6:48pm ultradamno: You know you're blurring the line between workplace and cult when you go camping together and everyone has to walk over hot coals or something like that.
	6:48pm Ted: @Power Papi Thanks! You beat me to the punch!
	6:48pm aco: Katsu Tarui band!
	6:49pm 中島祐一: 朝からトンカツ最高
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: In a few years, when the rights return to me, I'm going to post Ghostroads for free on Youtube! Really. I think in 2 years or so.
	6:50pm Ted: Kanopy might be an option as they feature many international films.
	6:50pm ultradamno: Is this I Got You Babe?
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: What is Kanopy?
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! THAT'S IT! I've been thinking, "What song is this?"
	6:52pm Mike Rogers: The Courettes came to Japan so they released this Japan only 7 inch. Bands do that sort of thing a lot. They sold out their initial pressing of 500 records in two days!
	6:53pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Aco san!
	6:54pm Ted: from wiki: Kanopy is an on-demand streaming video platform for public libraries, colleges and universities that offers films and documentaries. The service is free for users, but content owners and creators are paid on a pay-per-view model by the institution.
	6:54pm Mike Rogers: 中島さん！おはようございます！
	6:54pm ultradamno: It's a rough sell for 7"ers these days, you have to charge so much it doesn't really make sense not to just put out digitally
	6:54pm TARUI: Thanks, Mike! 朝から「Tonkatsu」じゃ、もたれない？中島さん。
	6:54pm Power Papi: Kanopy is awesome! I just watched a great Thai horror film on there, "Shutter"
	6:55pm Scott67: Thanks Mike! 🍻😎🤙💨☕
	6:56pm Mike Rogers: Wow! THanks Ted!!!! I made a documentary a year ”Ghostroads" it is called, "Matsuchiyo - Life of a Geisha" It needs a home! World Premiered at Raindance too!
	6:57pm ultradamno: Oh, Shutter, that takes me back to the glory days of Asia Extreme.
	6:58pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Ultradamno san!
	6:58pm Feldy: Thanks Mike! See ya on YouTube
	6:58pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Scott67 san!
	6:58pm chagama: ではでは！名古屋は今日もいい天気。皆さん良い一日を😊🎶👋👋
	6:58pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Feldy san!
	6:58pm Mike Rogers: Power pay san!!!! Thank you!

	7:00pm Mr Fab: thanx mike!
	7:00pm Mike Rogers: Aitch san! Thanks
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: Ted san! Thanks
	7:01pm Ted: どういたしまして Hope Kanopy works out for you! They are based in San Francisco.
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: Chagama san! Thanks
	7:01pm Mike Rogers: Shineman san! Thanks
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! Thanks
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Scott67 san! Thanks
	7:02pm Mike Rogers: Tarui san! Thanks
	7:03pm Scott67: 🌻
	7:03pm Mike Rogers: Aco san! Thanks

	5:02pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, Mr. Fab, these guys look scary... but they are really nice guys (excepting if they are drunk - which is a lot of the time!)
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: I think switchblades might be illegal in Japan! Japan has a thing about weapons with blades.

	5:09pm Mike Rogers: Tarui san! Hey!I'm going to play your band today!
	5:09pm Scott67: Massive mid-week gig at TRASH CULT last night. Portland Band, Jenny Don't & The Spurs. Brilliant fun, lovely people, Jenny voted for my T-Shirt Design to. 🍻😎🤙
	5:10pm Mike Rogers: Of course, you, er, "paid" her for her vote, right?
	5:10pm Mr Fab: Haha! Are there Yakuza gangsta rappers?
	5:10pm TARUI: Good Morning, mochy-san.
	5:11pm ultradamno: I think all but one of the Nazareth lineup that recorded Hair Of The Dog are now dead, you may now mess with them.
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: I have never heard of Yakuza Rappers.... Good idea for a band name! Yakuza seem to like Enka music or Eiikichi Yazawa.
	5:13pm ultradamno: I remember when Al Gore started talking about the yakuza the republicans talked like he made it up.
	5:13pm aco: Ohayo gozaimasu, Mike san, Tarui san!
	5:15pm mochy: It seems to be a live in Koenji nearby!
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: I know some Yakuza... I said "I know them" I definitely do not hang out with them.... They aren't exactly "Fishing Buddies" types. My daughter was dating a Yakuza boss type of person.
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: Of course, every family needs a doctor, a lawyer, and a Yakuza.
	5:17pm Mike Rogers: Hi Aco san!!!!!
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: Hey Ultradamno san, Al Gore talked about the Yakuza????
	5:18pm Mike Rogers: But the Yakuza consider themselves outsiders. That's why they won't even bother with us, because we are outsiders too.
	5:19pm ultradamno: Yeah, something to do with their control over trade/imports that kind thing (essentially being a pacific rim cartel)
	5:19pm Mike Rogers: I have never met a Yakuza that wasn't super polite!
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: In Japan's past, the police and the Yakuza came from the same place so the police won't generally mess with the Yakuza either.
	5:21pm ultradamno: Do you know them by looking at their hands?
	5:21pm Mike Rogers: I'll make this short. See? A long time ago, the government got rid of the warlords. Then all these samurai suddenly had no job. So they became Ronin and started roaming the countryside. They began robbing the village people.
	5:22pm TARUI: Good morning, Aco-san. Mike said that he will OnAir the KTB's song on today's his show.
	5:22pm ultradamno: They robbed The Village People....at the YMCA?
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: So, the village people got the young men to start guarding their towns. (This is where Japanese police boxes came from) But you can't work 24 hours a day so....
	5:24pm mochy: そろそろ仕事に入ります！アーカイブ休みの日にじっくり聴きます！
	5:24pm Mike Rogers: These young men started controlling the entertainment business (and they still do today in a big way) dancers, geisha, singers, blah, blah...
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: So different towns handled the situation differently, but the are was the police boxes. And now you know the rest of the story.
	5:26pm Mike Rogers: I mean, they both started with "police boxes"
	5:26pm Mike Rogers: So, you can have a big town where the chief of police is the, say, brother or brother in law of the local Yakuza.
	5:27pm Mike Rogers: Shinjuku got all F'ed up when the Yakuza left. Now it's wild.
	5:27pm Mike Rogers: But, it's still Japan, so not too crazy, but it doesn't feel like Japan.
	5:29pm Mike Rogers: Aitch san! Yeah, if a guy is missing a pinky finger, best to be very polite to him and leave as quietly as you can.
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: I'll bet they had the YMCA a few hundred years ago (different name, but the concept is the same!)
	5:31pm ultradamno: That was me, about the hands. What is that food she has?
	5:32pm ultradamno: Well, they were Macho Men then as now.
	5:32pm Mike Rogers: You mean, the Kissatens? That's a big hamburger.
	5:32pm Scott67: Now I'm craving a burger! Can't imagine why? 🍻😎🤙🍔
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: Yakuza will say very calmly and politely, "You are the one who is going to get hurt."
	5:33pm ultradamno: So that's bun? That's an insane amount of bun.
	5:33pm Mike Rogers: If that happens, best to say "Sorry" and leave.
	5:33pm ultradamno: ...and only a hint of meat
	5:34pm Mike Rogers: Good burgers here in Japan cost well over $12
	5:35pm Scott67: Same here Mike! But my local Fish & chip shop does a rippa for $9.50🍔
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: I have heard that Mac has worm meat in it. In Australia, they have giant worms!!!! Is that true?
	5:36pm ultradamno: Does Japan have a policy on toad licking? Here, the National Park Service is on the record against it people.com...
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: Same as everywhere, I guess, good food comes from Mom & Pop shops, not chain restaurants.
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! I have never heard of that!
	5:37pm Scott67: Hah! It would be the least of my worries eating McShit! I never eat their corporate crap mate.
	5:37pm Mike Rogers: Do people lick the toads to get high?
	5:38pm ultradamno: Yeah, psychedelic excretions
	5:38pm Mike Rogers: Good for you, Scott67 san! Me neither!
	5:39pm Scott67: Get high & die. Cane Toads are highly toxic, they kill thousands of Native Animals & Pets each year.
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: Really? Nah, I don't think they have those Cane Toads here in Japan.
	5:41pm Mike Rogers: I read in a magazine about those Cane Toads. They are not indigenous to Australia. I think I read about that in National Geographic, or was it in People Magazine?
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: Magic Mushroom weren't illegal here until about two years ago. Used to be able to buy them at Shibuya shops
	5:44pm ultradamno: Could have been this article a few years ago about how South Florida is overrun with cane toads, causing concern over whether the toxic environment would harm them people.com...
	5:45pm Scott67: We never had em in Australia either, until they were introduced to "control" Sugar Cane Beetle. Which they don't! They just poison our Wildlife when they eat them.
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: They started getting popular so then the government made Mushrooms Illegal.... What a Buzzkill!
	5:46pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, Scott67, the government to the rescue. Have you read about when Mao in China tried to kill all of the sparrows? Disaster.
	5:47pm Scott67: Man playing with the Natural Balance is always a folly Mike.🌏
	5:51pm chagama: mikeさん皆さんおはようございます。本日休みです。油断してたら先ほど起きました！がははー－
	5:51pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! 頑張って！
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: Hi Chagama san!!!!
	5:53pm chagama: mike師匠お疲れ様です！今から最後まで参加します🎶
	5:53pm Mike Rogers: My friend was telling me how we are killing the earth the other day. I told her, "Nah, the earth ain’t going anywhere. We are！Thaks George Carlin!"
	5:54pm Aitch: Theee Batman!!!
	5:54pm chagama: mochyさんおはようございます！御機嫌な一日を
	5:58pm ultradamno: I like this moth, Creatonotos, Australia has I wouldn't lick it either twitter.com... atargatis.news...
	6:00pm Mike Rogers: Ugh! Disgusting!!!! Maybe in soup it would be fine!
	6:02pm Mike Rogers: In China, when they serve you "Bird's Nest Soup" It is "As advertised!"
	6:05pm Aitch: Weird critter, but not bitey.
	6:07pm Mike Rogers: Ever been to Thailand, Aitch san? Fried food stalls have crawlies. Actually taste pretty good.
	6:08pm Feldy: Hello Mike san!
	6:09pm Mike Rogers: Hi Feldy san!!!
	6:09pm Mike Rogers: Aitch and I are talking about eating bugs.
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, some people eat crickets (and unknowingly eat worms at McDonalds!)
	6:14pm Feldy: I might eat bugs before the stinky tofu. I couldn't get myself to try it in the Taiwan night market
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: Oh, yeah, the stinky Tofu. I can't handle that either....
	6:16pm Mike Rogers: Tofu is bean curd, right? So isn't that kind of "Spolied" so my friend told me the stinky Tofu was totally safe.... But that smell!? Urghhhh!
	6:18pm ultradamno: There's a city in my state, French Lick, that is devoted to the bottling of Pluto Water, which smells like rotten eggs and is a laxative.
	6:19pm Shineman: Indiana
	6:19pm Aitch: About 25 times Mike-san, fave holiday place. Crunched my way through a few insects, like spikey corn chips. Stinky bean curd truly revolting!
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! I'll bet that a good laxative!!!!
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: Shineman san! Welcome! I've been to Indiana before.... But that was like 55 or 60 years ago.
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: They have those giant spiders friend. I haven't had to courage to try those yet! Aitch. I love Thailand too!
	6:21pm ultradamno: "Relief for constipation in 30 to 2 hours" quite a window they allow themselves www.indystar.com...
	6:21pm Aitch: Pigs in outer space is what I always mis-hear
	6:21pm Shineman: Isn't French Lick is?
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: Wow! 30 to 2 hours.... I'd wager that's a mistake... Or honest packaging....
	6:22pm Scott67: I've eaten fried Cricket, Ant & Meal worm. I would do the Meal worm again. An Aussie Woman is making burgers from them now. I'd scoff one!🍔🐛
	6:22pm ultradamno: In Indiana? Yes. Speaking of People Magazine, they've just declared Captain America the sexiest man alive
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: Pigs in Outer Space??? Bwa! Ha! Ha!
	6:23pm Shineman: Great show been listening for 3 weeks
	6:23pm ultradamno: 30 *minutes to 2 hours...a mistake, but on my part
	6:23pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Shineman san!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
	6:24pm Mike Rogers: Captain America isn't even a real guy!!!
	6:24pm Shineman: Used to live in Laporte In Madison WI now
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: Is it cold there, now? Shineman san?
	6:26pm Aitch: What about Homelander from The Boys?
	6:28pm Shineman: Yes now but was warm for Nov. until this week
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: Aitch, I have no idea what you are talking about? What is Homelander? Who are the Boys?
	6:30pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, Shineman, it's gotten kind of cold here in Japan.
	6:30pm chagama: 美空ひばりさんはアメリカで言えば誰に当たるんでしょうか？とにかく日本の永遠の歌姫ですねー
	6:32pm Aitch: TV anti-Superhero show Mike San. Homelander looks like Cpt America, but is a parody of Trump. Very funny, but lots of violence.
	6:32pm Mike Rogers: Chagama san, 誰もあたてない！あったてない
	6:33pm ultradamno: I haven't seen it, it's on Hulu I think. I always liked Aya Cash on You're The Worst though.
	6:34pm ultradamno: Worse, it's on Prime
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: Oh? My wife watches Hulu（I think)
	6:35pm Aitch: Best thing since Preacher finished
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: Is Prime a bad service?
	6:35pm ultradamno: It's Amazon, so yes
	6:35pm Mike Rogers: That last Tv show I actually watched religiously was "X-Files"
	6:36pm ultradamno: Atlanta, Los Espookys and Chucky are the best!
	6:36pm Ted: You can watch "Ghostroads" on Prime for "free," but I don't have Prime.
	6:38pm Mike Rogers: What? For free???? OK. Someone is getting screwed over here.
	6:39pm Mike Rogers: Hi Ted! Thanks for the good news today!Ha! Ha! Ha!
	6:40pm ultradamno: This sounds like Joy Division on 45 rpm
	6:41pm Mike Rogers: I don't like the new "Team" culture of these big companies. The first time some guy referred to me as "Team" I knew I had to quit that company.
	6:41pm Ted: Hi Mike-Prime is $8.99 for streaming video per month. So you might want to contact Bezos.
	6:41pm chagama: つしまみれ、来月ライブ行きます（ようやく）😃🎶
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: I didn't want to be in the team with those morons.
	6:42pm Mike Rogers: Bezos would probably say, "Hey! Weren't you a Team member before?" Puke!
	6:42pm ultradamno: Oh, the other best thing on TV this week, no kidding, is Lyle Lovett & His Large Band on Austin City Limits. His 17th appearance on the show, they said, and honestly, a delight. Chris Isaak guests on a Roy Orbison cover.
	6:43pm Mike Rogers: Big corporate culture and this "Team" nonsense gives me the creeps
	6:45pm Mike Rogers: Whose idea was it to start calling a group of people working on a project "Team?"
	6:45pm Aitch: Likely an american
	6:46pm Mike Rogers: For some reason, it really bothered me.
	6:46pm ultradamno: Probably goes back to the 90s or so with team building retreats and excercises
	6:47pm Power Papi: Ghostroads is $1.99 to stream on Prime, but free on Tubi ...with commercials
	6:47pm Aitch: An the word "stakeholder" should only be used in vampire movies
	6:47pm Mike Rogers: The commercials are probably the best part!
	6:48pm Ted: From what I can tell "Ghostroads" can be rented from Amazon in the U.S. A few months ago it was streaming for Prime members. It does appear to now be on Tubi for free with ads.
	6:48pm ultradamno: You know you're blurring the line between workplace and cult when you go camping together and everyone has to walk over hot coals or something like that.
	6:48pm Ted: @Power Papi Thanks! You beat me to the punch!
	6:48pm aco: Katsu Tarui band!
	6:49pm 中島祐一: 朝からトンカツ最高
	6:49pm Mike Rogers: In a few years, when the rights return to me, I'm going to post Ghostroads for free on Youtube! Really. I think in 2 years or so.
	6:50pm Ted: Kanopy might be an option as they feature many international films.
	6:50pm ultradamno: Is this I Got You Babe?
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: What is Kanopy?
	6:51pm Mike Rogers: Ultradamno san! THAT'S IT! I've been thinking, "What song is this?"
	6:52pm Mike Rogers: The Courettes came to Japan so they released this Japan only 7 inch. Bands do that sort of thing a lot. They sold out their initial pressing of 500 records in two days!
	6:53pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Aco san!
	6:54pm Ted: from wiki: Kanopy is an on-demand streaming video platform for public libraries, colleges and universities that offers films and documentaries. The service is free for users, but content owners and creators are paid on a pay-per-view model by the institution.
	6:54pm Mike Rogers: 中島さん！おはようございます！
	6:54pm ultradamno: It's a rough sell for 7"ers these days, you have to charge so much it doesn't really make sense not to just put out digitally
	6:54pm TARUI: Thanks, Mike! 朝から「Tonkatsu」じゃ、もたれない？中島さん。
	6:54pm Power Papi: Kanopy is awesome! I just watched a great Thai horror film on there, "Shutter"
	6:55pm Scott67: Thanks Mike! 🍻😎🤙💨☕
	6:56pm Mike Rogers: Wow! THanks Ted!!!! I made a documentary a year ”Ghostroads" it is called, "Matsuchiyo - Life of a Geisha" It needs a home! World Premiered at Raindance too!
	6:57pm ultradamno: Oh, Shutter, that takes me back to the glory days of Asia Extreme.
	6:58pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Ultradamno san!
	6:58pm Feldy: Thanks Mike! See ya on YouTube
	6:58pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Scott67 san!
