	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Afternoon, Krys and all the Coasters.
	1:00pm Krys O.: Hi, Handy!!
	👻 1:01pm fred: Hello Krys and all. Just back from christmas shopping... I hate this time of the year
	1:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hello krys and people...
	1:01pm Krys O.: Hello, fred! I'm with you on that. Looking for it to be over.
	👻 1:02pm Ciggy: Hi Krys O.
	1:02pm Krys O.: Howdy, tom tom!
	1:02pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Krys and everyone!
	1:03pm tom tom the pipers son: seizures grittings...
	1:03pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ fred @1:01 totally the same overhere... don't expect a christmas special from me...
	1:03pm Krys O.: Cheers, Jan! Hi, Ciggy!
	👻 1:03pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:00 Hey handy! What's on the cocktail menu today (meaning are you going on a supply run soon?)
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:01 I was hoping and was pretty confident your show would be a respite from holiday music. I know, I know, all these DJs only have one chance a year for all these holiday records they have. But oof. It's too much for this shriveled dark heart.
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:03 I'm low on Suze and Yellow Chartreuse! So something's got to give soon. Also light rum. And vodka. Could probably use more rye as well.
	1:05pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 I bristle at most Xmas music. I will have a special next week that is off the beaten track.
	1:05pm Krys O.: I personally like to listen to Polish koledy (carols) on the 24th. That's pretty much it.
	👻 1:06pm fred: ↳ Song: "Soul Hoedown" by "Al Kooper" Fox should do a review of "The Landlord". She doesn't need to watch it to make it a horror movie, just tell what the word means to her
	👻 1:08pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Krys O and all you thrillriders! Just finished putting up my Christmas decorations outside (perfect day for it) and now I’m settling down with a couple of slices of cold pizza and a root beer. Life is good!
	1:08pm Krys O.: Hi, Paul! That sounds great.
	1:09pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:06 Right! I followed her saga.
	1:10pm Krys O.: Ashby's film was very prescient about the gentrification of Brooklyn.
	1:10pm tom tom the pipers son: @krys: about halfway through 'sound of the city' which you recommended a while back, chock full of info, especially on labels, which as basis for a history, takes the mystery out of music making a bit, my one small criticism...
	👻 1:11pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 Sometimes there are sales in the holiday-to-giving-up window...
	1:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:10 tcm shows 'the landlord' quite a bit...is that where you saw it?
	1:13pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:10 I can understand that. My take on it was it was a huge lesson in the history of the record business. Another educating source in that respect is the Both Sides Now website: www.bsnpubs.com...
	1:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Love Theme" by "Al Kooper" this is a nice one
	1:14pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:13 Yes, I pretty much just watch TCM. I DVR things that I can't watch live.
	1:15pm HyperDose: Afternoon, Krys!
	1:15pm Krys O.: I was privileged to see Al Kooper twice at the old B.B. Kings in Manhattan. He is a musical genius and funny as hell.
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: greetings Krys and rollers, coasters
	1:15pm Krys O.: Hello, HyperDose!
	👻 1:16pm Ciggy: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 I enjoyed Maggie Hertz's holiday program from last year. A particular favorite that freaked out some of my family at our Christmas Eve dinner (There were crows cawing in the background) several tracks by Dan Gibson, in particular, Tchaikovsky - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - Solitudes - Christmas Classics.
	1:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Ciggy @1:16 Maggie's show yesterday was a treat too.
	1:17pm Krys O.: Hi, coelacanth∅!
	👻 1:18pm fred: Maggie's show is great. Too bad I miss almost half commuting
	1:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:14 i have a backlog of 'foreign' films dvr-ed, just watched the damned by visconti, couldn't quite follow the nazi history, but it was monumental, apparently fassbinder's favorite film
	1:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:13 thanks for that link, it looks comprehensive
	👻 1:21pm fred: ↳ fred @1:18 I saw a dance show two days ago called "Maggie the Cat", so of course I thought of her and told her. I didn't think of looking for a video though (not sure there's one, but I suck at searching for vids)
	👻 1:21pm yerfriendpaul: In college, I got a chance to see Cab Calloway perform with his band in Hartford at a free summer outdoor show. I loved it
	👻 1:21pm WR: Hi Krys, have been listening.
	1:22pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:21 Wow!!
	1:22pm Krys O.: Howdy, WR!
	👻 1:23pm yerfriendpaul: The Nicolas Brothers (older then, but fantastic) also performed during the show
	1:23pm tom tom the pipers son: cab calloway appears as some sort of lithe creature in a fleischer cartoon
	1:24pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:23 Holy smokes! I would plotz if I saw that live.
	1:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:23 i second what krys said
	👻 1:25pm WR: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Faith Lyles" by "Chris & Cab Callo... Great interview, funny and poignant.
	👻 1:26pm yerfriendpaul: On top of that, it was a hot sunny day and a guy was walking around the area selling cans of beer. I credit that day as the “most satisfying/delicious beer I’ve ever had” day. Everything was perfect!
	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:23 In a Betty Boop cartoon. I have a whole set of Betty Boop cartoons on VHS masters.
	👻 1:26pm fred: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Faith Lyles" by "Chris & Cab Callo... She wasn't asked why she spells her first name weird
	1:27pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:26 Ha!
	1:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:26 ah, you still have apparatus for vhs?
	1:29pm spodiodi: greetings, Krys O! . been listening for a little while and enjoying. and hello to all
	1:30pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:28 Not at the moment, but I'm keeping a bunch of them. At one time there were approximately more than a 1000 in the collection.
	1:30pm Krys O.: Hello, spodiodi!
	1:30pm tom tom the pipers son: wow...
	👻 1:31pm yerfriendpaul: Side by Side has a special meaning for me. I have a recording of my Mom singing it with her good friend when she was in high school
	1:31pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:31 Sweet!
	1:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Faith Lyles" by "Chris & Cab Callo... My dad worked at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta at around the same time as that interview.
	1:38pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:38 I remember you shared your dad's interesting history, Handy.
	👻 1:39pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:38 Did he do something with Cab?
	1:41pm Robm: afternoon krys o and fellow rollor coasters
	1:41pm Krys O.: Hello, Robm!
	1:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:39 He might have served him ... can't remember his ever mentioning it, though. He certainly would have known who he was.
	1:45pm Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:42 hello handy going to listen to scotts show later?
	1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: was there some 'cultural' discussion about cartoon animals not wearing paints which was 'serious', or was this just some sort of running joke that was in the air?
	👻 1:45pm yerfriendpaul: That theme song has a very “Love Will Keep Us Together” vibe
	👻 1:45pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:42 Even if he did, it wasn't the highlight of his career, so it was just a customer thing, if it happened
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:45 Well, records from that era are spotty at best.
	1:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 somewhat recently...
	👻 1:49pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 WFMU is a place for all records, spotty included (though some spots require FBI clearance before cleaning)
	1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:48 I think it's been a subject of consternation for a long time.
	1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: maybe was thinking of this... Candace Owens Pitches A Fit Over Minnie Mouse Wearing ... HuffPost Jan 28, 2022 — Right-wing pundit Candace Owens recently expressed outrage that Disney cartoon character Minnie Mouse would dare wear a pantsuit. It threatens ...
	1:57pm Jim Price: The "Doo Dah". Hey Krys!
	1:57pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 Sheesh. Owens gets paid to manufacture outrage.
	1:57pm Krys O.: Hello, Jim!!
	1:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 pls ignore link
	2:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:57 it's like some perversion of cultural criticism from the left
	2:00pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:58 I fixed it.
	2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: thx
	2:02pm chresti: Hi Krys and coasters!
	2:03pm Krys O.: Howdy, chresti!
	2:03pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Hi Krys and all
	2:04pm Sem: Hello, Krys, rollers, coasters, end tables, all.
	2:04pm Krys O.: Hello, Sem!
	2:05pm Krys O.: Hey, Oleh!!
	2:05pm doctorjazz: Hi, Krys, Free-Formers and Coasters!
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ah future beach boys and future rutle
	2:05pm Krys O.: Hi, doctorjazz!
	2:06pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 Correct!
	2:07pm Handy Haversack: Afternoon, Sem.
	👻 2:09pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:07 Booze run done, or just planned?
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:09 Just planned. Gotta get some work done.
	2:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:09 How's K8 doing?
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ doctorjazz @2:11 Well, still struggling with all of it. Got a letter today that the insurance is denying the in-patient admission to the hospital. So now that has to be dealt with.
	2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Argh! Hope this gets sorted out.
	2:21pm Sem: ↳ fred @2:09 Good day to you, Handy!
	2:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Would think it's an orthopedist domain. Likely physical therapy and/or mri for possible surgical issue (from my totally outside, lack-of-first-hand-knowledge position).
	👻 2:21pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Denied? How is that an option for insurance! I do know, but single payer is the way to go guys
	2:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 did not know your significant other was in hospital....well wishes....insurance denial.... is there legal recourse?
	2:24pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Handy, you might already be aware of health advocacy, but here is a good link: www.cssny.org...
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:23 I guess first we send an appeal to the insurance company. Then the state AG has a help line. Thank you, Krys!!
	2:25pm Krys O.: I used health advocates years ago on behalf of my ex. Best of luck to you and K8.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: The crazy thing is the denial letter says, "Your provider should not bill you for the cost of services you received. If you receive a bill from your doctor or facility that is associated with this admission request, call the number on your health plan ID card." But that just strikes me as impossible.
	2:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 Try the Health Advocacy link above before wasting your energy.
	2:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 maybe that shows insurance company is acting in bad faith and expecting hospital to swallow cost...?
	2:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:29 There's good info there. Thanks, Krys.
	2:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:31 Insurance companies ONLY act in bad faith.
	👻 2:32pm fred: I once had surgery early one year, everything lined up. Except my helpful "union" reps signed on to an insurer switch but kept it quiet. That cost me a lot. told them and they just said they got a lot of designer glasses out of it
	2:32pm Robm: this is why i love the accu, the people there try to help heach other out and know all kinds of good information
	2:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 You do need to appeal, often thaty will sort things out. (there's a financial incentive for Insurance companies to deny even if it should be approved. It's a bit like the old "mail in rebates" offered on some items to get you to buy it at a sale price. They know a large percentage of people just won't get around to mailing it in, and they keep the full price. Similarly, denials that could be appealed often aren't (people don't get around to it for whatever reason), saving money for the insurance company (and they lose little if you appeal and they have to approve, just money they would have spent anyway). System sucks, of course.
	2:35pm Dan S: I often wonder how many people our health insurance "system" makes sick from aggravation, frustration, and worry. Could it be a case of your having both primary and secondary insurance and it's not clear which insurance is responsible? That's happened to me.
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ Dan S @2:35 Hi, Dan S. I'm sorry to hear that. It's a terrible situation.
	2:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:32 you wouldn't punch somebody in the face wearing glasses? ... well designer glasses are another matter
	2:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ doctorjazz @2:34 Yeah ... I'm just not sure how to get a letter of support from the doctors in the ER or the hospital.
	2:39pm Dan S: ↳ Krys O. @2:36 Thanks. One thing I've learned about those surprise bills is DON'T PAY THEM. At least not right away. Make them work for the money. They might well have made an error on their end.
	2:40pm Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 handy there are a couple of nurses you should reach out too, that are on the accu, one of them is reagan, maybe she can help?
	2:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 (and, really, if insurance denies it, it should be the hospital's responsibility, not yours, if the ER docs decided admission was needed, correctly or not. But that doesn't always help, hospital may try to pass it on to you. But, they might be worth involving, since they are responsible for the admission decision. )
	2:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Dan S @2:39 Absolutely! There is often an issue with diagnosis code errors.
	2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:40 (A hospital Social Worker may be hslpful...)
	👻 2:41pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 It's worth finding out, if only to not get away with it. I'm sure you know people who know. Your experience could be a teaching moment: It can happen to you, and we'll have your back
	2:43pm Robm: ↳ doctorjazz @2:41 doc they maybe overworked and would not give handy the attention he deserves
	2:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Krys O and coast office!
	2:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ doctorjazz @2:40 I'm so mystified by the statement that we "should not" be getting a bill from the provider. Seems like boilerplate that should have been removed.
	2:43pm Robm: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:43 hey ken
	2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:41 They are also beholden somewhat to their employers. Community Health Advocates are beholden to their clients.
	2:44pm Krys O.: Hi, Ken!
	2:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 Hopefully that means it's between them and the hospital.
	2:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Robm @2:43 Hi, Robm.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:47 It is hospital staff (the ER docs) that admit patients, no one cam admt themselves.
	👻 2:48pm fred: I'll quit arguing, wishing you happy holidays and a better year next time (one can hope)
	2:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Like It Is" by "Yusef Lateef" Nice Yusef Latif! (Doug Schuldkind's guru)
	2:50pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Krys! Happy Holidays to all!
	2:50pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:48 Of course. The bean counters at the insurance company look any diagnosis codes. If a digit is off, they deny. Things like this can be corrected, but it takes someone to stay on top of it.
	2:51pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:50 Thank you, doctorjazz! Glad you're here. Take care.
	2:51pm tom tom the pipers son: thank you krys...
	2:51pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:48 Thanks so much, fred. All the best to you too.
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for the tips, doctorjazz. Enjoy the day.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Krys O. @2:50 Definitely the case-and the codes can be mystifying. Most diagnoses have many code options, and hitting the wrong one on an electronic medical record drop down is easy to do.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:51 You too, hope it all goes well!
	2:52pm spodiodi: thank you, Krys!
	👻 2:53pm fred: ↳ doctorjazz @2:49 Does that make him a Guru Guru to this show? Though I don't think Doug was in that band
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Krys, for the music and pointers -- and the respite from holiday cheer!
	2:53pm Krys O.: I'm feeling down, folks. Trying not to spiral downward, but my boss's father who hired me 25 years ago at my job is going into hospice. It's hard.
	2:54pm Debbie Davenport: I've really been loving your show today Krys O.!
	2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Piccola Ballerina" by "Gianni Fallabrino" i think this is as seasonal as you'll get and i'm fine w/ that
	2:54pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Thanks Krys. Not always available for real time listen on Sats, but glad this worked out. Hope to see you all soon!
	2:54pm Krys O.: Hi, Debbie! Thanks! And thanks, everyone! xxxooo
	2:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 So sorry, Krys, hang in there, that stuff is indeed hard.
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Krys!
	👻 2:54pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you, Krys! Love your show!
	2:54pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 oh shit krys my condolences to you and your boss
	2:55pm Krys O.: Note: I will be alone on Xmas with my kitties. I'll be okay.
	2:55pm HyperDose: Many thanks, Krys!
	👻 2:55pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 Just reading this. So sorry, Krys.
	2:55pm tom tom the pipers son: sorry your down, go for a walk, its nice out...;)
	2:56pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "If You're Alone This Christmas It's Probably Your... Oh, it's definitely my fault. No denying that! Anyway, thanks for the show, Krys!
	2:56pm doctorjazz: Been in COVID isolation all week (not entirely voluntary). manageable, but a bit crazy-making)
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "If You're Alone This Christmas It's Probably Your... Great song title...
	2:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @2:56 the title has a sparks-y ring to it
	2:58pm chresti: Thanks Krys! Merry holidays to you and the kitties!
	2:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 Sorry to hear that news, Krys. Hoping for the best. Life is not easy sometimes.
	2:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 So sorry to hear, Krys. Sympathy and solidarity.
	2:59pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:58 Agree
	2:59pm Sem: ^what Ken said. Be well, Krys.
	2:59pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "If You're Alone This Christmas It's Probably Your... This kind of reminds me of Beck's "Nobody's fault but my own."
	3:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:56 But has me posting on the boards much more...
	👻 3:00pm fred: Krys, you're here. That's a tribute to everyone who helped
	3:01pm spodiodi: Krys, hope things go smoothly as possible for him. my mom just lost one of her longest/best friends. i know it's not easy
	👻 3:01pm WR: Thank you! Krys!

	1:05pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 I bristle at most Xmas music. I will have a special next week that is off the beaten track.
	1:05pm Krys O.: I personally like to listen to Polish koledy (carols) on the 24th. That's pretty much it.
	👻 1:06pm fred: ↳ Song: "Soul Hoedown" by "Al Kooper" Fox should do a review of "The Landlord". She doesn't need to watch it to make it a horror movie, just tell what the word means to her
	👻 1:08pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Krys O and all you thrillriders! Just finished putting up my Christmas decorations outside (perfect day for it) and now I’m settling down with a couple of slices of cold pizza and a root beer. Life is good!
	1:08pm Krys O.: Hi, Paul! That sounds great.
	1:09pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:06 Right! I followed her saga.
	1:10pm Krys O.: Ashby's film was very prescient about the gentrification of Brooklyn.
	1:10pm tom tom the pipers son: @krys: about halfway through 'sound of the city' which you recommended a while back, chock full of info, especially on labels, which as basis for a history, takes the mystery out of music making a bit, my one small criticism...
	👻 1:11pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 Sometimes there are sales in the holiday-to-giving-up window...
	1:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:10 tcm shows 'the landlord' quite a bit...is that where you saw it?
	1:13pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:10 I can understand that. My take on it was it was a huge lesson in the history of the record business. Another educating source in that respect is the Both Sides Now website: www.bsnpubs.com...
	1:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Love Theme" by "Al Kooper" this is a nice one
	1:14pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:13 Yes, I pretty much just watch TCM. I DVR things that I can't watch live.
	1:15pm HyperDose: Afternoon, Krys!
	1:15pm Krys O.: I was privileged to see Al Kooper twice at the old B.B. Kings in Manhattan. He is a musical genius and funny as hell.
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: greetings Krys and rollers, coasters
	1:15pm Krys O.: Hello, HyperDose!
	👻 1:16pm Ciggy: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 I enjoyed Maggie Hertz's holiday program from last year. A particular favorite that freaked out some of my family at our Christmas Eve dinner (There were crows cawing in the background) several tracks by Dan Gibson, in particular, Tchaikovsky - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - Solitudes - Christmas Classics.
	1:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Ciggy @1:16 Maggie's show yesterday was a treat too.
	1:17pm Krys O.: Hi, coelacanth∅!
	👻 1:18pm fred: Maggie's show is great. Too bad I miss almost half commuting
	1:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:14 i have a backlog of 'foreign' films dvr-ed, just watched the damned by visconti, couldn't quite follow the nazi history, but it was monumental, apparently fassbinder's favorite film
	1:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:13 thanks for that link, it looks comprehensive
	👻 1:21pm fred: ↳ fred @1:18 I saw a dance show two days ago called "Maggie the Cat", so of course I thought of her and told her. I didn't think of looking for a video though (not sure there's one, but I suck at searching for vids)
	👻 1:21pm yerfriendpaul: In college, I got a chance to see Cab Calloway perform with his band in Hartford at a free summer outdoor show. I loved it
	👻 1:21pm WR: Hi Krys, have been listening.
	1:22pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:21 Wow!!
	1:22pm Krys O.: Howdy, WR!
	👻 1:23pm yerfriendpaul: The Nicolas Brothers (older then, but fantastic) also performed during the show
	1:23pm tom tom the pipers son: cab calloway appears as some sort of lithe creature in a fleischer cartoon
	1:24pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:23 Holy smokes! I would plotz if I saw that live.
	1:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:23 i second what krys said
	👻 1:25pm WR: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Faith Lyles" by "Chris & Cab Callo... Great interview, funny and poignant.
	👻 1:26pm yerfriendpaul: On top of that, it was a hot sunny day and a guy was walking around the area selling cans of beer. I credit that day as the “most satisfying/delicious beer I’ve ever had” day. Everything was perfect!
	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:23 In a Betty Boop cartoon. I have a whole set of Betty Boop cartoons on VHS masters.
	👻 1:26pm fred: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Faith Lyles" by "Chris & Cab Callo... She wasn't asked why she spells her first name weird
	1:27pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:26 Ha!
	1:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:26 ah, you still have apparatus for vhs?
	1:29pm spodiodi: greetings, Krys O! . been listening for a little while and enjoying. and hello to all
	1:30pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:28 Not at the moment, but I'm keeping a bunch of them. At one time there were approximately more than a 1000 in the collection.
	1:30pm Krys O.: Hello, spodiodi!
	1:30pm tom tom the pipers son: wow...
	👻 1:31pm yerfriendpaul: Side by Side has a special meaning for me. I have a recording of my Mom singing it with her good friend when she was in high school
	1:31pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:31 Sweet!
	1:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Faith Lyles" by "Chris & Cab Callo... My dad worked at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta at around the same time as that interview.
	1:38pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:38 I remember you shared your dad's interesting history, Handy.
	👻 1:39pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:38 Did he do something with Cab?
	1:41pm Robm: afternoon krys o and fellow rollor coasters
	1:41pm Krys O.: Hello, Robm!
	1:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:39 He might have served him ... can't remember his ever mentioning it, though. He certainly would have known who he was.
	1:45pm Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:42 hello handy going to listen to scotts show later?
	1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: was there some 'cultural' discussion about cartoon animals not wearing paints which was 'serious', or was this just some sort of running joke that was in the air?
	👻 1:45pm yerfriendpaul: That theme song has a very “Love Will Keep Us Together” vibe
	👻 1:45pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:42 Even if he did, it wasn't the highlight of his career, so it was just a customer thing, if it happened
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:45 Well, records from that era are spotty at best.
	1:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 somewhat recently...
	👻 1:49pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 WFMU is a place for all records, spotty included (though some spots require FBI clearance before cleaning)
	1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:48 I think it's been a subject of consternation for a long time.
	1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: maybe was thinking of this... Candace Owens Pitches A Fit Over Minnie Mouse Wearing ... HuffPost Jan 28, 2022 — Right-wing pundit Candace Owens recently expressed outrage that Disney cartoon character Minnie Mouse would dare wear a pantsuit. It threatens ...
	1:57pm Jim Price: The "Doo Dah". Hey Krys!
	1:57pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 Sheesh. Owens gets paid to manufacture outrage.
	1:57pm Krys O.: Hello, Jim!!
	1:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 pls ignore link
	2:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:57 it's like some perversion of cultural criticism from the left
	2:00pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:58 I fixed it.
	2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: thx
	2:02pm chresti: Hi Krys and coasters!
	2:03pm Krys O.: Howdy, chresti!
	2:03pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Hi Krys and all
	2:04pm Sem: Hello, Krys, rollers, coasters, end tables, all.
	2:04pm Krys O.: Hello, Sem!
	2:05pm Krys O.: Hey, Oleh!!
	2:05pm doctorjazz: Hi, Krys, Free-Formers and Coasters!
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ah future beach boys and future rutle
	2:05pm Krys O.: Hi, doctorjazz!
	2:06pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 Correct!
	2:07pm Handy Haversack: Afternoon, Sem.
	👻 2:09pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:07 Booze run done, or just planned?
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:09 Just planned. Gotta get some work done.
	2:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:09 How's K8 doing?
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ doctorjazz @2:11 Well, still struggling with all of it. Got a letter today that the insurance is denying the in-patient admission to the hospital. So now that has to be dealt with.
	2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Argh! Hope this gets sorted out.
	2:21pm Sem: ↳ fred @2:09 Good day to you, Handy!
	2:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Would think it's an orthopedist domain. Likely physical therapy and/or mri for possible surgical issue (from my totally outside, lack-of-first-hand-knowledge position).
	👻 2:21pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Denied? How is that an option for insurance! I do know, but single payer is the way to go guys
	2:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 did not know your significant other was in hospital....well wishes....insurance denial.... is there legal recourse?
	2:24pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 Handy, you might already be aware of health advocacy, but here is a good link: www.cssny.org...
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:23 I guess first we send an appeal to the insurance company. Then the state AG has a help line. Thank you, Krys!!
	2:25pm Krys O.: I used health advocates years ago on behalf of my ex. Best of luck to you and K8.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: The crazy thing is the denial letter says, "Your provider should not bill you for the cost of services you received. If you receive a bill from your doctor or facility that is associated with this admission request, call the number on your health plan ID card." But that just strikes me as impossible.
	2:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 Try the Health Advocacy link above before wasting your energy.
	2:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 maybe that shows insurance company is acting in bad faith and expecting hospital to swallow cost...?
	2:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:29 There's good info there. Thanks, Krys.
	2:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:31 Insurance companies ONLY act in bad faith.
	👻 2:32pm fred: I once had surgery early one year, everything lined up. Except my helpful "union" reps signed on to an insurer switch but kept it quiet. That cost me a lot. told them and they just said they got a lot of designer glasses out of it
	2:32pm Robm: this is why i love the accu, the people there try to help heach other out and know all kinds of good information
	2:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 You do need to appeal, often thaty will sort things out. (there's a financial incentive for Insurance companies to deny even if it should be approved. It's a bit like the old "mail in rebates" offered on some items to get you to buy it at a sale price. They know a large percentage of people just won't get around to mailing it in, and they keep the full price. Similarly, denials that could be appealed often aren't (people don't get around to it for whatever reason), saving money for the insurance company (and they lose little if you appeal and they have to approve, just money they would have spent anyway). System sucks, of course.
	2:35pm Dan S: I often wonder how many people our health insurance "system" makes sick from aggravation, frustration, and worry. Could it be a case of your having both primary and secondary insurance and it's not clear which insurance is responsible? That's happened to me.
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ Dan S @2:35 Hi, Dan S. I'm sorry to hear that. It's a terrible situation.
	2:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:32 you wouldn't punch somebody in the face wearing glasses? ... well designer glasses are another matter
	2:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ doctorjazz @2:34 Yeah ... I'm just not sure how to get a letter of support from the doctors in the ER or the hospital.
	2:39pm Dan S: ↳ Krys O. @2:36 Thanks. One thing I've learned about those surprise bills is DON'T PAY THEM. At least not right away. Make them work for the money. They might well have made an error on their end.
	2:40pm Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 handy there are a couple of nurses you should reach out too, that are on the accu, one of them is reagan, maybe she can help?
	2:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 (and, really, if insurance denies it, it should be the hospital's responsibility, not yours, if the ER docs decided admission was needed, correctly or not. But that doesn't always help, hospital may try to pass it on to you. But, they might be worth involving, since they are responsible for the admission decision. )
	2:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Dan S @2:39 Absolutely! There is often an issue with diagnosis code errors.
	2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:40 (A hospital Social Worker may be hslpful...)
	👻 2:41pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 It's worth finding out, if only to not get away with it. I'm sure you know people who know. Your experience could be a teaching moment: It can happen to you, and we'll have your back
	2:43pm Robm: ↳ doctorjazz @2:41 doc they maybe overworked and would not give handy the attention he deserves
	2:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Krys O and coast office!
	2:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ doctorjazz @2:40 I'm so mystified by the statement that we "should not" be getting a bill from the provider. Seems like boilerplate that should have been removed.
	2:43pm Robm: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:43 hey ken
	2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:41 They are also beholden somewhat to their employers. Community Health Advocates are beholden to their clients.
	2:44pm Krys O.: Hi, Ken!
	2:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:43 Hopefully that means it's between them and the hospital.
	2:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Robm @2:43 Hi, Robm.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:47 It is hospital staff (the ER docs) that admit patients, no one cam admt themselves.
	👻 2:48pm fred: I'll quit arguing, wishing you happy holidays and a better year next time (one can hope)
	2:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Like It Is" by "Yusef Lateef" Nice Yusef Latif! (Doug Schuldkind's guru)
	2:50pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Krys! Happy Holidays to all!
	2:50pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:48 Of course. The bean counters at the insurance company look any diagnosis codes. If a digit is off, they deny. Things like this can be corrected, but it takes someone to stay on top of it.
	2:51pm Krys O.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:50 Thank you, doctorjazz! Glad you're here. Take care.
	2:51pm tom tom the pipers son: thank you krys...
	2:51pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:48 Thanks so much, fred. All the best to you too.
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for the tips, doctorjazz. Enjoy the day.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Krys O. @2:50 Definitely the case-and the codes can be mystifying. Most diagnoses have many code options, and hitting the wrong one on an electronic medical record drop down is easy to do.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:51 You too, hope it all goes well!
	2:52pm spodiodi: thank you, Krys!
	👻 2:53pm fred: ↳ doctorjazz @2:49 Does that make him a Guru Guru to this show? Though I don't think Doug was in that band
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Krys, for the music and pointers -- and the respite from holiday cheer!
	2:53pm Krys O.: I'm feeling down, folks. Trying not to spiral downward, but my boss's father who hired me 25 years ago at my job is going into hospice. It's hard.
	2:54pm Debbie Davenport: I've really been loving your show today Krys O.!
	2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Piccola Ballerina" by "Gianni Fallabrino" i think this is as seasonal as you'll get and i'm fine w/ that
	2:54pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Thanks Krys. Not always available for real time listen on Sats, but glad this worked out. Hope to see you all soon!
	2:54pm Krys O.: Hi, Debbie! Thanks! And thanks, everyone! xxxooo
	2:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 So sorry, Krys, hang in there, that stuff is indeed hard.
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Krys!
	👻 2:54pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you, Krys! Love your show!
	2:54pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 oh shit krys my condolences to you and your boss
	2:55pm Krys O.: Note: I will be alone on Xmas with my kitties. I'll be okay.
	2:55pm HyperDose: Many thanks, Krys!
	👻 2:55pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 Just reading this. So sorry, Krys.
	2:55pm tom tom the pipers son: sorry your down, go for a walk, its nice out...;)
	2:56pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "If You're Alone This Christmas It's Probably Your... Oh, it's definitely my fault. No denying that! Anyway, thanks for the show, Krys!
	2:56pm doctorjazz: Been in COVID isolation all week (not entirely voluntary). manageable, but a bit crazy-making)
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "If You're Alone This Christmas It's Probably Your... Great song title...
	2:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @2:56 the title has a sparks-y ring to it
	2:58pm chresti: Thanks Krys! Merry holidays to you and the kitties!
	2:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 Sorry to hear that news, Krys. Hoping for the best. Life is not easy sometimes.
	2:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:53 So sorry to hear, Krys. Sympathy and solidarity.
	2:59pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:58 Agree
	2:59pm Sem: ^what Ken said. Be well, Krys.
	2:59pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "If You're Alone This Christmas It's Probably Your... This kind of reminds me of Beck's "Nobody's fault but my own."
	3:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:56 But has me posting on the boards much more...
	👻 3:00pm fred: Krys, you're here. That's a tribute to everyone who helped
	3:01pm spodiodi: Krys, hope things go smoothly as possible for him. my mom just lost one of her longest/best friends. i know it's not easy
	👻 3:01pm WR: Thank you! Krys!
