	4:07pm laurapanic: It is actually summer here, but we are having a very cold summer. I should be at the beach but it is only 20c (68F), and I am still wearing lots of layers. I love summer, so I am mad.
	4:08pm Mike Rogers: And why go out? You just wind up coming home anyway?
	4:08pm Mike Rogers: &8 is kind of chilly... Especially for the beach!
	4:08pm mochy: The room is heated, isn't it?
	4:08pm Mike Rogers: Yes, the room is heated, but I am a cheapskate and turn it all the way down.
	4:09pm Mike Rogers: I mean "68 is kind of chilly" See? My fingers are frozen!

	4:14pm Shineman: Yes it's Wisconsin
	4:16pm mochy: Thanks.mike-san, don't let your body cool down..
	4:16pm Shineman: This is trippy
	4:17pm Mike Rogers: Shineman san! That's way below freezing!!!!
	4:17pm Chris Ianuzzi: I like this
	4:17pm Mike Rogers: Is there good fishing in Wisconsin? I dream of fishing!
	4:17pm Shineman: Next week the teens
	4:19pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Chris, that was Ken Nishkawa. He is my best friend and we make movies together!
	4:19pm Shineman: Oh yeah mostly up north though
	4:19pm Mike Rogers: Shineman, do you go ice fishing?
	4:20pm Chris Ianuzzi: Great Stuff. I've heard him before on here
	4:20pm Mike Rogers: Next week, the teens? Is that a concert or a bad weather report??? Ha! Ha! Ha!
	4:21pm Mike Rogers: Chris san, Ken made my soundtrack for the Yoko Ono movie. It is almost done. Weird music!
	4:21pm Shineman: I fact we have 4 huge lakes around the city
	4:21pm Chris Ianuzzi: :) a pop
	4:21pm Shineman: I used to
	4:22pm Mike Rogers: You are so lucky, Shineman san!
	4:22pm Chris Ianuzzi: I am curious, How did you make a Yoko Ono movie?
	4:22pm Mike Rogers: All the good fishing places in Japan are owned by the local fishing collective, if they catch you fishing in their areas, they're brining an ass kicking along with them
	4:23pm Shineman: I wouldn't eat the fish here
	4:23pm Mike Rogers: Shineman, why? Pollution?
	4:23pm Chris Ianuzzi: :)
	4:24pm Shineman: We used to go to Canada to fish
	4:24pm Mike Rogers: Chris san, I think starting a movie is extremely difficult. Finishing a movie is even more difficult, getting it screened at a film festival is a miracle.
	4:24pm MK: OMG THIS SYNTH BOWIE COVER IS GIVING ME LIFE
	4:25pm Chris Ianuzzi: I can imagine
	4:25pm Mike Rogers: I went to Canada when I was a little boy to fish. Great memories. Thanks dad!
	4:25pm Mike Rogers: MK san! Welcome! good morning!
	4:26pm Mike Rogers: I miss Bowie a lot!
	4:26pm Shineman: Yes and farmers over fertal8 and the lakes get a poison algae
	4:27pm Mike Rogers: That's a tragedy.... Chemicals everywhere!
	4:28pm Mike Rogers: Really Chris san, just finishing a movie is a good way to learn patience.
	4:29pm Chris Ianuzzi: I had just intr0duced Bowie's music to my daughter and we were listening to the last album all the weekend before... we were shocked when the news came through
	4:29pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. I was shocked. I cried.
	4:29pm Shineman: My Dad loves to fish would take me out a 5 in the morning and we would be out till noon,never liked it then but I was like 7
	4:30pm Chris Ianuzzi: We drove past where his apartment was to see all the people and stufff collected
	4:30pm Mike Rogers: My daughter called me and she was crying and she said, "I thought aliens didn't die!"
	4:31pm Mike Rogers: I had always loved fishing... Not really into hunting though.
	4:31pm Chris Ianuzzi: Makes me want to cry now
	4:31pm Mike Rogers: Chris san! Did you take photos?
	4:32pm Chris Ianuzzi: no, I did not do
	4:32pm Mike Rogers: Shineman, you know the difference between a relies man and a spiritual man? A religious man goes to church and day dreams about fishing. A spiritual man goes fishing and wonder "Why?"
	4:33pm Chris Ianuzzi: probably should have
	4:35pm Shineman: Just saw a video of the Dinah show with Iggy Pop and Bowie was playing piano it was cooler then I would have thought
	4:35pm Mike Rogers: I mean, "Shineman, you know the difference between a religious man and a spiritual man? A religious man goes to church and day dreams about fishing. A spiritual man goes fishing and wonder "Why?"
	4:36pm Mike Rogers: Shineman san! I cut school that day just to watch that TV show!!!
	4:36pm Shineman: Oh I get it today a great meditation but at 7 it was too much
	4:37pm Mike Rogers: It's OK. You have photos in your mind, Chris san. Those are probably better anyway...
	4:39pm Mike Rogers: I wonder where Sheena is? She hasn't been showing up recently! Maybe the time isn't convenient.
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, I go fishing and of course, I want to catch a fish.... But as I get older, it's just good to be in the great outdoors.
	4:41pm Chris Ianuzzi: Ye, My first year in New York and saw him at The Mudd club and The Nursery Wild Times
	4:42pm Shineman: I need to tàke my grandkids they want to fish
	4:42pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Chris san! That would be so cool!
	4:43pm Mike Rogers: Shinean san, YES! Take them and make memories they will keep for a lifetime!
	4:43pm Chris Ianuzzi: I was in shock. NY was very different way back.
	4:44pm Mike Rogers: How different?
	4:45pm Mike Rogers: Japan has changed, but society hasn't changed so much in these 40 years.... The cities have changed, new buildings, new businesses, but basically the same excepting lots more foreigners.
	4:46pm Shineman: I have to get them to want to fish with a cane pole they want a rod and reel
	4:46pm Mike Rogers: When we had the Fukushima disaster there was no looting.
	4:47pm Mike Rogers: Tell then they have to basic train first and grandpa taught you with a pole so that's how they have to do it! ;)
	4:47pm Chris Ianuzzi: It was normal to see famous musicians and local rock and rollers hanging out. The Nursery was a mix of strippers getting off work. Rock stars. Saturday Night live people. Belushi smoking a cigar nearly knocked me over
	4:48pm Chris Ianuzzi: Drinking age was 18 too Clubs had a wide variety
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: that day is over now, Chris? Is it because of crime?
	4:49pm Mike Rogers: I would love to meet Belushi in a restaurant too!
	4:49pm Shineman: That's cool Chris I would have to stop myself or I would be like a school girl no offense
	4:50pm Chris Ianuzzi: I don't know New York scene has The Hells Angels and they had there own rules
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, me too, Shineman san! I can't even imagine being in the same place with Bowie and Belushi!!!!
	4:51pm Mike Rogers: The Hells Angels keep the peace don't they?
	4:51pm Chris Ianuzzi: I should say "had" I don't know what really exists of that
	4:51pm Mike Rogers: That is similar to Japan, the Yakuza used to keep the peace... But they are basically gone now.
	4:52pm Mike Rogers: The Yakuza has rules and they didn't fuck with regular people. I thought they were good.
	4:53pm Chris Ianuzzi: ...Well There was behavior laws If it was crossed then I don't think so peaceful
	4:54pm Mike Rogers: Chris san, don't the biker gangs only fight with each other? In Japan, the gangs only fight with each other. Never fight with regular people.
	4:55pm Chris Ianuzzi: I saw some ugly scenes where people fcked with them and learned
	4:56pm Mike Rogers: Regular people? What are they stupid?
	4:56pm Chris Ianuzzi: some people want to test to feel cool. usually drunk
	4:56pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, the Yakuza are obvious by their hair and the way they act (super polite) and dress.
	4:57pm Chris Ianuzzi: Don't they have Tattoos?
	4:58pm Chris Ianuzzi: I don't know what the dress is
	4:58pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, but they usually don't really expose them in a public place.
	4:59pm Mike Rogers: They wear kind of old fashioned suits. Well not really old fashioned, but they look different.
	5:01pm Chris Ianuzzi: sounds almost a Mafia.. but Yakuza is a Japanese Mafia ?
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: The Yakuza were one reason why Japanese neighborhoods are so safe
	5:02pm elmoweber: Hey Mike san, hey guys! Sorry I can't hang out today. Work, work, work!!! Have a great show!!
	5:02pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, a Japanese Mafia. But as a rule, they never messed with regular people and left us alone... Especially left foreigners alone.
	5:02pm Chris Ianuzzi: yes, Little Italy is very safe. Hells Angels had a clubhouse and street in NYC that was super safe
	5:03pm Mike Rogers: Super polite！Kind of like Clint Eastwood polite. Kinda scary
	5:03pm Chris Ianuzzi: :)
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: So what happened to the Hell's Angels?
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: Howdy Elmo san! You are coming up in about 20 minutes!
	5:06pm Chris Ianuzzi: They got bought out an moved out of Manhattan. There were mostly Viet Nam vets and kind of old now
	5:07pm Mike Rogers: Ah? Vietnam Vets? Makes sense. Cool guys.
	5:08pm Mike Rogers: They had a rough time. I knew a few vets. Kind of messed up from what they had to go through...
	5:09pm Mike Rogers: I would have ran away to Canada instead of going to a war with people who hadn't done anything to me.
	5:10pm Chris Ianuzzi: People that lived in a different reality and did not want to join the way outside of that
	5:11pm Shineman: My blood pressure would have kept me out
	5:11pm Chris Ianuzzi: I am lucky to have missed all of that
	5:11pm Mike Rogers: Well, my mom was Japanese and so, EXTREMELY antiwar.
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: The Japanese are not pissed off at Americans. They are still pissed off at their government for getting them into a big assed war!
	5:12pm Chris Ianuzzi: I saw that you are interviewing a guy from Blondie? They used to go to The Nursery
	5:13pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. Clem Burke is Blondies drummer. I hadn't met him in 44 years!!!!
	5:14pm Mike Rogers: He is a nice quiet guy! Not crazy wild at all.
	5:14pm Shineman: Love Blondie I was really surprised when I learned that most of their hits were covers.
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. Blondie were Fab. Do you guys know who Rodney Bingenheimer is?
	5:16pm Chris Ianuzzi: I moved to NY just as Blondie, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, Ramones had really gone over the top. There was a vibrant scene that they left
	5:16pm Shineman: No Mike-san
	5:18pm Chris Ianuzzi: I know now who Rodney Bingenheimer is
	5:19pm Chris Ianuzzi: Television was great!
	5:20pm Shineman: I'm on a phone don't leave me guessing
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: Rodney is arguably the most famous DJ in the world (most famous in L.A.) I was his assistant in 1980 until early 1982. He introduced me to everyone!
	5:20pm Chris Ianuzzi: Wow!!!
	5:21pm Shineman: What station
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: Rodney was on KROQ. But now on Sirius XM.
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: He is credited for breaking almost all the bands we have been talking about!
	5:22pm Chris Ianuzzi: Being an assistant is great. I served as Suzanne Ciani assistant at the same time. then I worked recording for commercials from that
	5:24pm Chris Ianuzzi: I met so many people and had so many experiences being around her
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: At that time, I never thought how legendary that time was. It just never occurred to me.
	5:26pm Chris Ianuzzi: Mike, Do you still have contact with Rodney?
	5:26pm Mike Rogers: Yes. I am his curator now!
	5:27pm Chris Ianuzzi: I didn't know either.
	5:27pm Mike Rogers: Suzanne Ciani is way cool!
	5:28pm Chris Ianuzzi: Yes, I was in school and read about her in a Contemporary Keyboard Mag. I thought thats it!. I am going to move to New York, be her assistant a use her studio.
	5:29pm Mike Rogers: So, now I am curator, so I got a job raise after 42 years! ;)
	5:29pm Chris Ianuzzi: I did! It took a year or so
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: Chris san, do you have music you want me to send to Rodney?
	5:30pm Chris Ianuzzi: After 42 year!! :)
	5:31pm Chris Ianuzzi: I don't know, lets think about that
	5:33pm Chris Ianuzzi: This is really Great!
	5:34pm Chris Ianuzzi: Suzanne gave me some great opportunities
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: That's really good! Life is funny that way!
	5:36pm mochy: そろそろ仕事入ります。ありがとうございました
	5:38pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! 頑張ってください！ゆっくりうんてんしてね！
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: ”read about her in a Contemporary Keyboard Mag. I thought thats it!. I am going to move to New York, be her assistant a use her studio.” See? It's simple as eating Cake! Ha! Ha! Ha!
	5:40pm mochy: ありがとうございます
	5:40pm Chris Ianuzzi: HAHAHAAH
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: I asked Rodney if I could be his assistant (no assistant's got paid) and he said "Sure!" I was so shocked!
	5:41pm Chris Ianuzzi: There are more stories :)
	5:41pm Mike Rogers: Oh do tell!
	5:42pm Chris Ianuzzi: :0 some other time
	5:44pm Mike Rogers: Ok. I got one. So I has to answer the door when guests came. Ramones, Blondie, tons of bands. One day the light above the studio went off and that meant someone was at the door. I one to answer the door and there was some guy who looked like my dad! I was totally rude to him, "What do you want?" It was Phil Spector!
	5:44pm Chris Ianuzzi: Thanks for playing Edge of the Earth!!!
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: Thank you, Chris san!
	5:45pm Chris Ianuzzi: Funny!
	5:46pm Mike Rogers: Hey, I have an excuse. I was a suburban boy, I didn't even know who Phil Spector was.
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: I didn't realize I was being rude until they said on air, "The Beatles!"
	5:53pm Chris Ianuzzi: I like that Elmo!
	5:53pm Shineman: Ouch
	5:54pm Mike Rogers: I am just an idiot sometimes.
	5:56pm Shineman: Great show Mike-san!
	5:57pm Chris Ianuzzi: Great Show.. Have a great day!
	5:57pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Shineman san! It was fun chatting with you. I envy you that you have grandkids that you can take fishing! Take them and make dreams to last a lifetime!!!!

	4:22pm Mike Rogers: You are so lucky, Shineman san!
	4:22pm Chris Ianuzzi: I am curious, How did you make a Yoko Ono movie?
	4:22pm Mike Rogers: All the good fishing places in Japan are owned by the local fishing collective, if they catch you fishing in their areas, they're brining an ass kicking along with them
	4:23pm Shineman: I wouldn't eat the fish here
	4:23pm Mike Rogers: Shineman, why? Pollution?
	4:23pm Chris Ianuzzi: :)
	4:24pm Shineman: We used to go to Canada to fish
	4:24pm Mike Rogers: Chris san, I think starting a movie is extremely difficult. Finishing a movie is even more difficult, getting it screened at a film festival is a miracle.
	4:24pm MK: OMG THIS SYNTH BOWIE COVER IS GIVING ME LIFE
	4:25pm Chris Ianuzzi: I can imagine
	4:25pm Mike Rogers: I went to Canada when I was a little boy to fish. Great memories. Thanks dad!
	4:25pm Mike Rogers: MK san! Welcome! good morning!
	4:26pm Mike Rogers: I miss Bowie a lot!
	4:26pm Shineman: Yes and farmers over fertal8 and the lakes get a poison algae
	4:27pm Mike Rogers: That's a tragedy.... Chemicals everywhere!
	4:28pm Mike Rogers: Really Chris san, just finishing a movie is a good way to learn patience.
	4:29pm Chris Ianuzzi: I had just intr0duced Bowie's music to my daughter and we were listening to the last album all the weekend before... we were shocked when the news came through
	4:29pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. I was shocked. I cried.
	4:29pm Shineman: My Dad loves to fish would take me out a 5 in the morning and we would be out till noon,never liked it then but I was like 7
	4:30pm Chris Ianuzzi: We drove past where his apartment was to see all the people and stufff collected
	4:30pm Mike Rogers: My daughter called me and she was crying and she said, "I thought aliens didn't die!"
	4:31pm Mike Rogers: I had always loved fishing... Not really into hunting though.
	4:31pm Chris Ianuzzi: Makes me want to cry now
	4:31pm Mike Rogers: Chris san! Did you take photos?
	4:32pm Chris Ianuzzi: no, I did not do
	4:32pm Mike Rogers: Shineman, you know the difference between a relies man and a spiritual man? A religious man goes to church and day dreams about fishing. A spiritual man goes fishing and wonder "Why?"
	4:33pm Chris Ianuzzi: probably should have
	4:35pm Shineman: Just saw a video of the Dinah show with Iggy Pop and Bowie was playing piano it was cooler then I would have thought
	4:35pm Mike Rogers: I mean, "Shineman, you know the difference between a religious man and a spiritual man? A religious man goes to church and day dreams about fishing. A spiritual man goes fishing and wonder "Why?"
	4:36pm Mike Rogers: Shineman san! I cut school that day just to watch that TV show!!!
	4:36pm Shineman: Oh I get it today a great meditation but at 7 it was too much
	4:37pm Mike Rogers: It's OK. You have photos in your mind, Chris san. Those are probably better anyway...
	4:39pm Mike Rogers: I wonder where Sheena is? She hasn't been showing up recently! Maybe the time isn't convenient.
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, I go fishing and of course, I want to catch a fish.... But as I get older, it's just good to be in the great outdoors.
	4:41pm Chris Ianuzzi: Ye, My first year in New York and saw him at The Mudd club and The Nursery Wild Times
	4:42pm Shineman: I need to tàke my grandkids they want to fish
	4:42pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Chris san! That would be so cool!
	4:43pm Mike Rogers: Shinean san, YES! Take them and make memories they will keep for a lifetime!
	4:43pm Chris Ianuzzi: I was in shock. NY was very different way back.
	4:44pm Mike Rogers: How different?
	4:45pm Mike Rogers: Japan has changed, but society hasn't changed so much in these 40 years.... The cities have changed, new buildings, new businesses, but basically the same excepting lots more foreigners.
	4:46pm Shineman: I have to get them to want to fish with a cane pole they want a rod and reel
	4:46pm Mike Rogers: When we had the Fukushima disaster there was no looting.
	4:47pm Mike Rogers: Tell then they have to basic train first and grandpa taught you with a pole so that's how they have to do it! ;)
	4:47pm Chris Ianuzzi: It was normal to see famous musicians and local rock and rollers hanging out. The Nursery was a mix of strippers getting off work. Rock stars. Saturday Night live people. Belushi smoking a cigar nearly knocked me over
	4:48pm Chris Ianuzzi: Drinking age was 18 too Clubs had a wide variety
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: that day is over now, Chris? Is it because of crime?
	4:49pm Mike Rogers: I would love to meet Belushi in a restaurant too!
	4:49pm Shineman: That's cool Chris I would have to stop myself or I would be like a school girl no offense
	4:50pm Chris Ianuzzi: I don't know New York scene has The Hells Angels and they had there own rules
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, me too, Shineman san! I can't even imagine being in the same place with Bowie and Belushi!!!!
	4:51pm Mike Rogers: The Hells Angels keep the peace don't they?
	4:51pm Chris Ianuzzi: I should say "had" I don't know what really exists of that
	4:51pm Mike Rogers: That is similar to Japan, the Yakuza used to keep the peace... But they are basically gone now.
	4:52pm Mike Rogers: The Yakuza has rules and they didn't fuck with regular people. I thought they were good.
	4:53pm Chris Ianuzzi: ...Well There was behavior laws If it was crossed then I don't think so peaceful
	4:54pm Mike Rogers: Chris san, don't the biker gangs only fight with each other? In Japan, the gangs only fight with each other. Never fight with regular people.
	4:55pm Chris Ianuzzi: I saw some ugly scenes where people fcked with them and learned
	4:56pm Mike Rogers: Regular people? What are they stupid?
	4:56pm Chris Ianuzzi: some people want to test to feel cool. usually drunk
	4:56pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, the Yakuza are obvious by their hair and the way they act (super polite) and dress.
	4:57pm Chris Ianuzzi: Don't they have Tattoos?
	4:58pm Chris Ianuzzi: I don't know what the dress is
	4:58pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, but they usually don't really expose them in a public place.
	4:59pm Mike Rogers: They wear kind of old fashioned suits. Well not really old fashioned, but they look different.
	5:01pm Chris Ianuzzi: sounds almost a Mafia.. but Yakuza is a Japanese Mafia ?
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: The Yakuza were one reason why Japanese neighborhoods are so safe
	5:02pm elmoweber: Hey Mike san, hey guys! Sorry I can't hang out today. Work, work, work!!! Have a great show!!
	5:02pm Mike Rogers: Yeah, a Japanese Mafia. But as a rule, they never messed with regular people and left us alone... Especially left foreigners alone.
	5:02pm Chris Ianuzzi: yes, Little Italy is very safe. Hells Angels had a clubhouse and street in NYC that was super safe
	5:03pm Mike Rogers: Super polite！Kind of like Clint Eastwood polite. Kinda scary
	5:03pm Chris Ianuzzi: :)
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: So what happened to the Hell's Angels?
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: Howdy Elmo san! You are coming up in about 20 minutes!
	5:06pm Chris Ianuzzi: They got bought out an moved out of Manhattan. There were mostly Viet Nam vets and kind of old now
	5:07pm Mike Rogers: Ah? Vietnam Vets? Makes sense. Cool guys.
	5:08pm Mike Rogers: They had a rough time. I knew a few vets. Kind of messed up from what they had to go through...
	5:09pm Mike Rogers: I would have ran away to Canada instead of going to a war with people who hadn't done anything to me.
	5:10pm Chris Ianuzzi: People that lived in a different reality and did not want to join the way outside of that
	5:11pm Shineman: My blood pressure would have kept me out
	5:11pm Chris Ianuzzi: I am lucky to have missed all of that
	5:11pm Mike Rogers: Well, my mom was Japanese and so, EXTREMELY antiwar.
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: The Japanese are not pissed off at Americans. They are still pissed off at their government for getting them into a big assed war!
	5:12pm Chris Ianuzzi: I saw that you are interviewing a guy from Blondie? They used to go to The Nursery
	5:13pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. Clem Burke is Blondies drummer. I hadn't met him in 44 years!!!!
	5:14pm Mike Rogers: He is a nice quiet guy! Not crazy wild at all.
	5:14pm Shineman: Love Blondie I was really surprised when I learned that most of their hits were covers.
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. Blondie were Fab. Do you guys know who Rodney Bingenheimer is?
	5:16pm Chris Ianuzzi: I moved to NY just as Blondie, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, Ramones had really gone over the top. There was a vibrant scene that they left
	5:16pm Shineman: No Mike-san
	5:18pm Chris Ianuzzi: I know now who Rodney Bingenheimer is
	5:19pm Chris Ianuzzi: Television was great!
	5:20pm Shineman: I'm on a phone don't leave me guessing
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: Rodney is arguably the most famous DJ in the world (most famous in L.A.) I was his assistant in 1980 until early 1982. He introduced me to everyone!
	5:20pm Chris Ianuzzi: Wow!!!

	5:22pm Mike Rogers: Rodney was on KROQ. But now on Sirius XM.
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: He is credited for breaking almost all the bands we have been talking about!
	5:22pm Chris Ianuzzi: Being an assistant is great. I served as Suzanne Ciani assistant at the same time. then I worked recording for commercials from that
	5:24pm Chris Ianuzzi: I met so many people and had so many experiences being around her
	5:25pm Mike Rogers: At that time, I never thought how legendary that time was. It just never occurred to me.

	5:26pm Mike Rogers: Yes. I am his curator now!
	5:27pm Chris Ianuzzi: I didn't know either.

	5:33pm Chris Ianuzzi: This is really Great!

	5:45pm Mike Rogers: Thank you, Chris san!
	5:45pm Chris Ianuzzi: Funny!
	5:46pm Mike Rogers: Hey, I have an excuse. I was a suburban boy, I didn't even know who Phil Spector was.

	5:53pm Chris Ianuzzi: I like that Elmo!
	5:53pm Shineman: Ouch
