	12:07am Chop Scott: Yip Yip indeed...Cheers Joe!
	12:08am Joe McG: Hey, 12539! Hey, Chop Scott! Hope you are all wearing it well tonight.
	12:09am Matt from Springfield: Beautiful--an electronic German mid 70s paradise! Good evenin' there, Joe and Jeff and Scott and 12539!!
	12:09am Chop Scott: My ears are fine, thanks...
	👻 12:09am 12539: A little old fashioned but that's all right.
	12:11am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Anybody read the Rod Stewart bio? During the marathon, Listener Tim told me it was worth a look.
	12:13am Matt from Springfield: Ah, good initiative, Joe! I see that you, Ike, DCE and Cheri Pi already favorited this during Fabio's show--good of ya to bring it over here! And Happy Easter everyone!!
	12:13am Matt from Springfield: Never heard of Rod's, is it an autobio?
	12:14am Minnesota Jeff: I assume the Rod Stewart Bio it reads like a Harlequin Romance novel, but the "Hunk" looks like a wrinkly old Aunt?
	12:15am Joe McG: @Matt: Keeping tabs, I see! Yes, it's Rod'a, apparently. @MJ: I'm sure it has more action than the Pete Townshend bio!
	12:16am Chop Scott: I was in an elevator at my job with Rod S. a few years ago---very nice suit, but he was wearing slippers. Collects 19th Cent. paintings. Hunting dogs and horses. ?
	12:17am Matt from Springfield: Slippers. To more easily move from one bed to another...
	12:17am Joe McG: @Chop Scott: Ha ha! Slippers must be for a fast, quiet getaway out ladies' windows!
	12:18am Minnesota Jeff: Is the Townshend bio any good, despite lack of sheet-shaking?
	12:18am G: Slip Slidin' a Rod...
	12:19am Chop Scott: Made we think that he really doesn't walk much past limo to door. I respect that.
	12:19am Matt from Springfield: @Jeff: At least Pete's should have a lot of string-shredding and finger-bleeding.
	12:19am G: and internet research.
	12:21am Joe McG: The Pete bio is kind of frustrating. He doesn't dwell so much on music as on boating and his various neuroses.
	👻 12:25am Ken From Hyde Park: What's on the sound agenda tonight? Sounds like it's a robot dance party.
	12:25am Joe McG: He does, BTW, get to go to bed with a lot of women. Just not as many as Keith or John.
	12:25am Minnesota Jeff: Boating? Is he a Yachtsman like Bob Seger?
	12:26am Matt from Springfield: Row-but Dance Party!!!
	12:27am Matt from Springfield: Yum! Thai iced tea!
	12:27am Julie at the compound: Happy creepy bunny day!
	12:28am Joe McG: @Matt: Liz B. pioneered the robot dance party, but I like to horn in once in a while.
	12:28am Joe McG: @MJ: Oh yeah, he's super into it! Keeps buying bigger and better boats. Hey, Julie!
	12:33am I X Key!: Row, row, row your robot
	12:34am fleep: Evening, Joe, star for the Krausend track
	12:34am Matt from Springfield: Happy creepy vampire bat bunny day, Julie!
	12:35am Joe McG: Of course, there's this: www.buzzfeed.com...
	12:36am Julie at the compound: The bats tried to hide easter eggs, but since they were in the ceiling and high corners they kept falling and breaking
	12:36am Joe McG: Hey, fleep! Track of the week on WFMU! Hey, I X Key! Row-bot at sea, warning signals high.
	12:41am Matt from Springfield: These Bajas only get more Bitchin as the song goes on!
	12:42am Joe McG: @Matt: I love this track very deeply. I hate this group's name deeply also.
	12:44am Joe McG: They must have used it since "Dead Milkmen" was already taken.
	12:45am Matt from Springfield: Krausened almost sounds like it would be more appropos as the group name! Or else, call themselves something like "Sunset Everywhere".
	12:45am Mike Sin: OK - just arrived home. I ready for Joe to roll this as I prepare by booze-filled chocolate bunnies for my Easter basket. Sounds smooth and sweet so far, joe McG.
	12:47am Julie: @Mike you act like you don't indulge in booze-filled chocolate bunnies EVERY day. You don't fool me, MISTER
	12:49am Matt from Springfield: Hey Mike! Can I stop by your pantry sometime?! ;)
	12:50am Matt from Springfield: Nice way to start our Sundays, every Sunday!
	12:52am Joe McG: Hey, Mike Sin! Swell fill-in today for Terre T! Everybody check out Mike's archive!
	12:54am Matt from Springfield: I sure will--love Mike's shows!
	12:56am ?: Hello Joe & all other friends! Be with you soon once I make dinner. "Make" = putting a bunch of good stuff on a huge rimmed plate , filling water & wine glasses, scootching cats to side & getting in bed. And for anyone who has a sense of humor, my Easter tradition (NSFW), my hero Bill Hicks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6_sr_t8Hbg
	12:59am Holly in NC: Dang! I am "?". Comment unrelated to music being played, food, wine, cats, Bill Hicks, you probably knew
	12:59am Joe McG: Holly, you're so quizzical!
	12:59am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Haven't clicked on that yet, but I'm betting that's about how a goldfish should leave Lincoln Logs in your sock drawer on Easter in Australia! :)
	1:00am Holly in NC: @Matt -yes :-)
	1:04am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: One of his best! @Joe: Bla BLA! Excellent assortment of creative Brit postpunk in this block!
	1:12am Holly in NC: yay Ooga Boogas
	1:13am dknight23: 'Mats are one of my faves. Interesting cover. Follow w/ new track from new ep?
	1:13am Matt from Springfield: This one is familiar--I've heard "I Will Dare" somewhere before.
	1:14am Joe McG: @dknight23: That would've been a great idea! Wish I had thought of it!
	1:14am Matt from Springfield: Ah, dknight answered that for me! Thanks!
	1:16am Holly in NC: @Matt - Me too! Can't quite place... ;-) [actually my lp beat to f*ck, & will never re-place (ha) ]
	1:20am Holly in NC: Joe!!! I LOVE this Dancing Hoods lp! And you are probably 1 of 3 people I know who bought the lp in the 80s, way, way before Sparklehorse came to be.
	1:21am Holly in NC: And I'm 1 of the other 2
	1:21am Joe McG: @Holly: Unfortunately for Mark L., only about 3 people bought it. But I like both of their albums!
	1:23am kevin g: Gahhhh I love the Softies so much. Seeing them play last April was an absolute highlight of my year. A label called "Lost Sound" has just put out a couple new Rose Melberg records which I wholly intend to pick up as soon as the second one is available again.
	1:24am Joe McG: @keving: I saw some video of that! How nice that they played that reunion.
	1:27am Matt from Springfield: Fantastic Something...is Something Fantastic!!
	1:32am Mark from Montclair: Nice to hear "Karen" Thanks - brings me back...
	1:33am Joe McG: No prob, Mark! Love that song.
	1:33am Nick: Hello! This Status Quo song is one of my favorite 60s psych songs...very underrated.
	1:34am Matt from Springfield: A Sin-worthy psych out!
	1:34am Nick: I think I even have this 45. haha
	1:35am Joe McG: Hey, Nick! I agree, I think a lot of their early material is really underrated. Right up there with Honeybus!
	1:37am Matt from Springfield: Another suitably baroqueish pop single from The Toys! And YES Honeybus! I know you're a fan of them, Joe!
	1:38am I X Key!: Alright, after a wee run to the moon & back... cheers!
	1:38am Nick: I haven't heard much Honeybus...I'll have to really check them out. Thanks.
	1:39am I X Key!: -- With a lovely soundtrack thanks to Joe McGasko--
	1:40am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, I X Key!
	1:43am Joe McG: @Nick: I think you'll dig Honeybus. Check out their album "A Story."
	1:43am Holly in NC: I X Key! - Did you get the info I emailed you?
	1:45am I X Key!: Yes, thank you very much! Did I forget to get back to yuo? Hm!
	1:45am I X Key!: Creasy greens!!
	1:46am I X Key!: the ethnic grocer is like North St. here! On North St there are all kinds of different ethnic grocers! It's awesome!
	1:48am Matt from Springfield: Aww, GO Wilson! Nice tribute to those departed greats of Soul! @IXK: Ethnic grocers rock!
	1:50am dknight23: This is an incredible record!
	1:54am Joe McG: I agree with dknight23!
	1:54am Nick: Joe, I'm curious (since I'm really into your random 45 segments) - did you buy any of these 45s as a teen or were these all bought once you were older?
	1:56am Joe McG: @Nick: Most of them when I was older, but I have a few from a long time ago. I was an LP guy until I was in my 20s! Then I went single crazy.
	1:57am Nick: haha Cool! I can completely understand.
	1:57am Holly in NC: I X Key! - mad at myself for missing farmer's mkt this am, given weathed forecast may have been last of creasy greens. Bright side means strawberries & asparagus in near future!
	1:59am Joe McG: @Nick: I used to think LPs were a better deal: more tunes for your money!
	1:59am Holly in NC: Every time I hear Flirtations, I marvel at northern soul perfection.
	1:59am dknight23: I remember the Deram label.
	2:00am Nick: Holly, yeah me too!
	2:01am I X Key!: @H wowie zowie yum all up! In New Zealand I saw a bus with an asparagus ad all over it once! Strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges!
	2:02am dknight23: Holly, I've been to the Raleigh farmer's mkt - it is amazing. Wish we had something similar here.
	2:05am I X Key!: haven't seen fiddleheads in the supermarket yet, but it'll also be fiddlehead season soon! always excited about fiddleheads!
	2:11am Holly in NC: @dknight - where are you? Raleigh mkt actually lot of trucked in & conventionally raised produce , products & animals, so one must be VERY wary. Durham & Carrboro both truly local & mostly best practices. Raleigh does have some great vendors, you just need to find them.
	2:13am Holly in NC: I miss fiddleheads! LL Bean canned don't cut it
	2:16am Joe McG: I don't know what a fiddlehead is. Sounds like somebody who likes Fairport Convention concerts.
	2:20am dknight23: I'm in W'burg, Va., but my brother lives in Knightdale. We went @ Xmas, so I bought winter leaf-y and root veggies. I was pleased w/ my haul. Clean & fresh.
	2:21am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Fern sprout, which come to think of it, also sounds like somebody who likes Fairport Convention concerts.
	2:21am KP: Hi, Joe. Just getting in from moving sidewalks.
	2:22am Joe McG: How did they sound, KP?
	2:22am Holly in NC: Joe - heh. A very delicious wild fern that's hard to find as foragers need to know what they're doing - close relatives ate toxic - actually fiddleheads themselves can make you ill if not prepped correctly. But they're wonderful. A New England treat, esp up north in Maine
	2:22am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Fiddlehead = fern sprout, that is.
	2:22am I X Key!: ahahahahah! @Joe ferns early in their season that haven't opened up yet!
	2:24am I X Key!: Is North Korea's URL REALLY korea-dpr.com? It doesn't even have a TLD?
	2:26am Joe McG: Thanks for filling me in on the ferns, folks.
	2:32am KP: It was not what I expected, even though I have the set that came out. Gibbons is the only guitar player and only singer. The other guys don't even sing backup. If it was billed as a billy gibbons solo show I would not have gone. That said, he's an exciting performer and we were right at the stage.
	2:33am Joe McG: @KP: That's cool. In his interview with Joe Belock, he said the other guys have kept playing all along. Were they tight?
	2:33am Holly in NC: A gentleman by the name of Thomas Denver Jonnson does an excellent version of 'To Live is to Fly', and I know nothing else about him
	2:34am Holly in NC: @KP are you glad you went?
	2:37am KP: They were fine. Very basic. The bass was mostly root notes similar to ZZ top. The organ was good but kind of loud (I hate organ except Manzarek). The drummer was quiet. Some of their songs were kind of epic but it was all Gibbons.
	2:39am Holly in NC: Joe, I'm loving Bobb & Kidds, never heard before!
	2:40am Holly in NC: aaaahhh!
	2:43am KP: Where are you, Bobbie Gentry!
	2:44am Nick: What happened to the Kevin Ayers song you were going to play ;-) Now that you're onto the religious set, you could play Ayer's "Singing A Song In The Morning (Religious Experience)".
	2:45am Holly in NC: @KP not even, say, in background on 'Help You Ann'?
	2:47am I X Key!: Can you get creasy greens year-round like pickled or dried or something, or only fresh in season?
	2:48am Joe McG: @Nick: I play Kevin every time. He's my bed music!
	2:51am Nick: @Joe - Yes, I hear you! This song is hilarious, with the Midnight Cowboy riff.
	2:54am Nick: It just occurred to me that the mini-series The Bible - which I haven't seen, but which I've heard a lot of people talking about - was broadcast to coincide with Easter.
	2:55am Holly in NC: Creasy greens fresh only - they're like watercress (except not) ;-). But you could cook & freeze, like any other green. My freezer is too full of chicken bones, shrimp shells, galangal, & chia seeds. And bacon. And lard. Oh, freezer.
	2:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening everybody! Have a great Sunday and a great week!
	2:56am Nick: Thanks for another great show!
	2:58am I X Key!: Chia seeds kept in the freezer? Should they be kept in the freezer? Our galangal is in the fridge

	👻 12:09am 12539: A little old fashioned but that's all right.
	12:11am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Anybody read the Rod Stewart bio? During the marathon, Listener Tim told me it was worth a look.
	12:13am Matt from Springfield: Ah, good initiative, Joe! I see that you, Ike, DCE and Cheri Pi already favorited this during Fabio's show--good of ya to bring it over here! And Happy Easter everyone!!
	12:13am Matt from Springfield: Never heard of Rod's, is it an autobio?
	12:14am Minnesota Jeff: I assume the Rod Stewart Bio it reads like a Harlequin Romance novel, but the "Hunk" looks like a wrinkly old Aunt?
	12:15am Joe McG: @Matt: Keeping tabs, I see! Yes, it's Rod'a, apparently. @MJ: I'm sure it has more action than the Pete Townshend bio!
	12:16am Chop Scott: I was in an elevator at my job with Rod S. a few years ago---very nice suit, but he was wearing slippers. Collects 19th Cent. paintings. Hunting dogs and horses. ?
	12:17am Matt from Springfield: Slippers. To more easily move from one bed to another...
	12:17am Joe McG: @Chop Scott: Ha ha! Slippers must be for a fast, quiet getaway out ladies' windows!
	12:18am Minnesota Jeff: Is the Townshend bio any good, despite lack of sheet-shaking?
	12:18am G: Slip Slidin' a Rod...
	12:19am Chop Scott: Made we think that he really doesn't walk much past limo to door. I respect that.
	12:19am Matt from Springfield: @Jeff: At least Pete's should have a lot of string-shredding and finger-bleeding.
	12:19am G: and internet research.
	12:21am Joe McG: The Pete bio is kind of frustrating. He doesn't dwell so much on music as on boating and his various neuroses.
	👻 12:25am Ken From Hyde Park: What's on the sound agenda tonight? Sounds like it's a robot dance party.
	12:25am Joe McG: He does, BTW, get to go to bed with a lot of women. Just not as many as Keith or John.
	12:25am Minnesota Jeff: Boating? Is he a Yachtsman like Bob Seger?
	12:26am Matt from Springfield: Row-but Dance Party!!!

	12:27am Julie at the compound: Happy creepy bunny day!
	12:28am Joe McG: @Matt: Liz B. pioneered the robot dance party, but I like to horn in once in a while.
	12:28am Joe McG: @MJ: Oh yeah, he's super into it! Keeps buying bigger and better boats. Hey, Julie!
	12:33am I X Key!: Row, row, row your robot

	12:34am Matt from Springfield: Happy creepy vampire bat bunny day, Julie!
	12:35am Joe McG: Of course, there's this: www.buzzfeed.com...
	12:36am Julie at the compound: The bats tried to hide easter eggs, but since they were in the ceiling and high corners they kept falling and breaking
	12:36am Joe McG: Hey, fleep! Track of the week on WFMU! Hey, I X Key! Row-bot at sea, warning signals high.

"Make" = putting a bunch of good stuff on a huge rimmed plate , filling water & wine glasses, scootching cats to side & getting in bed. And for anyone who has a sense of humor, my Easter tradition (NSFW), my hero Bill Hicks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6_sr_t8Hbg
	12:59am Holly in NC: Dang! I am "?". Comment unrelated to music being played, food, wine, cats, Bill Hicks, you probably knew
	12:59am Joe McG: Holly, you're so quizzical!
	12:59am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Haven't clicked on that yet, but I'm betting that's about how a goldfish should leave Lincoln Logs in your sock drawer on Easter in Australia! :)
	1:00am Holly in NC: @Matt -yes :-)
	1:04am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: One of his best! @Joe: Bla BLA! Excellent assortment of creative Brit postpunk in this block!
	1:12am Holly in NC: yay Ooga Boogas
	1:13am dknight23: 'Mats are one of my faves. Interesting cover. Follow w/ new track from new ep?
	1:13am Matt from Springfield: This one is familiar--I've heard "I Will Dare" somewhere before.
	1:14am Joe McG: @dknight23: That would've been a great idea! Wish I had thought of it!
	1:14am Matt from Springfield: Ah, dknight answered that for me! Thanks!
	1:16am Holly in NC: @Matt - Me too! Can't quite place... ;-) [actually my lp beat to f*ck, & will never re-place (ha) ]
	1:20am Holly in NC: Joe!!! I LOVE this Dancing Hoods lp! And you are probably 1 of 3 people I know who bought the lp in the 80s, way, way before Sparklehorse came to be.
	1:21am Holly in NC: And I'm 1 of the other 2
	1:21am Joe McG: @Holly: Unfortunately for Mark L., only about 3 people bought it. But I like both of their albums!
	1:23am kevin g: Gahhhh I love the Softies so much. Seeing them play last April was an absolute highlight of my year. A label called "Lost Sound" has just put out a couple new Rose Melberg records which I wholly intend to pick up as soon as the second one is available again.
	1:24am Joe McG: @keving: I saw some video of that! How nice that they played that reunion.
	1:27am Matt from Springfield: Fantastic Something...is Something Fantastic!!
	1:32am Mark from Montclair: Nice to hear "Karen" Thanks - brings me back...
	1:33am Joe McG: No prob, Mark! Love that song.
	1:33am Nick: Hello! This Status Quo song is one of my favorite 60s psych songs...very underrated.
	1:34am Matt from Springfield: A Sin-worthy psych out!
	1:34am Nick: I think I even have this 45. haha
	1:35am Joe McG: Hey, Nick! I agree, I think a lot of their early material is really underrated. Right up there with Honeybus!
	1:37am Matt from Springfield: Another suitably baroqueish pop single from The Toys! And YES Honeybus! I know you're a fan of them, Joe!
	1:38am I X Key!: Alright, after a wee run to the moon & back... cheers!
	1:38am Nick: I haven't heard much Honeybus...I'll have to really check them out. Thanks.
	1:39am I X Key!: -- With a lovely soundtrack thanks to Joe McGasko--
	1:40am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, I X Key!
	1:43am Joe McG: @Nick: I think you'll dig Honeybus. Check out their album "A Story."
	1:43am Holly in NC: I X Key! - Did you get the info I emailed you?
	1:45am I X Key!: Yes, thank you very much! Did I forget to get back to yuo? Hm!
	1:45am I X Key!: Creasy greens!!
	1:46am I X Key!: the ethnic grocer is like North St. here! On North St there are all kinds of different ethnic grocers! It's awesome!
	1:48am Matt from Springfield: Aww, GO Wilson! Nice tribute to those departed greats of Soul! @IXK: Ethnic grocers rock!
	1:50am dknight23: This is an incredible record!
	1:54am Joe McG: I agree with dknight23!
	1:54am Nick: Joe, I'm curious (since I'm really into your random 45 segments) - did you buy any of these 45s as a teen or were these all bought once you were older?
	1:56am Joe McG: @Nick: Most of them when I was older, but I have a few from a long time ago. I was an LP guy until I was in my 20s! Then I went single crazy.
	1:57am Nick: haha Cool! I can completely understand.
	1:57am Holly in NC: I X Key! - mad at myself for missing farmer's mkt this am, given weathed forecast may have been last of creasy greens. Bright side means strawberries & asparagus in near future!
	1:59am Joe McG: @Nick: I used to think LPs were a better deal: more tunes for your money!
	1:59am Holly in NC: Every time I hear Flirtations, I marvel at northern soul perfection.
	1:59am dknight23: I remember the Deram label.
	2:00am Nick: Holly, yeah me too!
	2:01am I X Key!: @H wowie zowie yum all up! In New Zealand I saw a bus with an asparagus ad all over it once! Strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges!
	2:02am dknight23: Holly, I've been to the Raleigh farmer's mkt - it is amazing. Wish we had something similar here.
	2:05am I X Key!: haven't seen fiddleheads in the supermarket yet, but it'll also be fiddlehead season soon! always excited about fiddleheads!
	2:11am Holly in NC: @dknight - where are you? Raleigh mkt actually lot of trucked in & conventionally raised produce , products & animals, so one must be VERY wary. Durham & Carrboro both truly local & mostly best practices. Raleigh does have some great vendors, you just need to find them.
	2:13am Holly in NC: I miss fiddleheads! LL Bean canned don't cut it
	2:16am Joe McG: I don't know what a fiddlehead is. Sounds like somebody who likes Fairport Convention concerts.
	2:20am dknight23: I'm in W'burg, Va., but my brother lives in Knightdale. We went @ Xmas, so I bought winter leaf-y and root veggies. I was pleased w/ my haul. Clean & fresh.
	2:21am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Fern sprout, which come to think of it, also sounds like somebody who likes Fairport Convention concerts.
	2:21am KP: Hi, Joe. Just getting in from moving sidewalks.
	2:22am Joe McG: How did they sound, KP?
	2:22am Holly in NC: Joe - heh. A very delicious wild fern that's hard to find as foragers need to know what they're doing - close relatives ate toxic - actually fiddleheads themselves can make you ill if not prepped correctly. But they're wonderful. A New England treat, esp up north in Maine
	2:22am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Fiddlehead = fern sprout, that is.
	2:22am I X Key!: ahahahahah! @Joe ferns early in their season that haven't opened up yet!
	2:24am I X Key!: Is North Korea's URL REALLY korea-dpr.com? It doesn't even have a TLD?
	2:26am Joe McG: Thanks for filling me in on the ferns, folks.
	2:32am KP: It was not what I expected, even though I have the set that came out. Gibbons is the only guitar player and only singer. The other guys don't even sing backup. If it was billed as a billy gibbons solo show I would not have gone. That said, he's an exciting performer and we were right at the stage.
	2:33am Joe McG: @KP: That's cool. In his interview with Joe Belock, he said the other guys have kept playing all along. Were they tight?
	2:33am Holly in NC: A gentleman by the name of Thomas Denver Jonnson does an excellent version of 'To Live is to Fly', and I know nothing else about him
	2:34am Holly in NC: @KP are you glad you went?
	2:37am KP: They were fine. Very basic. The bass was mostly root notes similar to ZZ top. The organ was good but kind of loud (I hate organ except Manzarek). The drummer was quiet. Some of their songs were kind of epic but it was all Gibbons.
	2:39am Holly in NC: Joe, I'm loving Bobb & Kidds, never heard before!
	2:40am Holly in NC: aaaahhh!
	2:43am KP: Where are you, Bobbie Gentry!
	2:44am Nick: What happened to the Kevin Ayers song you were going to play ;-) Now that you're onto the religious set, you could play Ayer's "Singing A Song In The Morning (Religious Experience)".
	2:45am Holly in NC: @KP not even, say, in background on 'Help You Ann'?
	2:47am I X Key!: Can you get creasy greens year-round like pickled or dried or something, or only fresh in season?
	2:48am Joe McG: @Nick: I play Kevin every time. He's my bed music!
	2:51am Nick: @Joe - Yes, I hear you! This song is hilarious, with the Midnight Cowboy riff.
	2:54am Nick: It just occurred to me that the mini-series The Bible - which I haven't seen, but which I've heard a lot of people talking about - was broadcast to coincide with Easter.
	2:55am Holly in NC: Creasy greens fresh only - they're like watercress (except not) ;-). But you could cook & freeze, like any other green. My freezer is too full of chicken bones, shrimp shells, galangal, & chia seeds. And bacon. And lard. Oh, freezer.
	2:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening everybody! Have a great Sunday and a great week!
	2:56am Nick: Thanks for another great show!
	2:58am I X Key!: Chia seeds kept in the freezer? Should they be kept in the freezer? Our galangal is in the fridge
