Listener comments!

🚽

6:19am Ken:

Guten Morgen, elephant seal lovers!

6:59am groucho:

Sealstep! Please let Sealstep be a genre...

7:36am F〓F〓 (:

Buen dia Ken and people!

I'm just going to leave this here:
http://static.echonest.com/donkeystep/

I'll be back in 2 hours.

7:45am groucho:

Oh boy

7:49am jeremy:

No, we're never going to survive unless we get a little crazy.

🚽

8:18am Ken:

Get out. Is the donkeystep real?

🚽

8:19am Ken:

Im not goin' there. I am not a monster. I'm a human being, I bet.

🚽

8:21am Ken:

I could start the show with musical seals, or the jingle cats or whatever. But something says enough is enough and it seems like it knows what it's talking about.

🚽

8:22am cklequ:

How about Alaskan Polar Bear Heater by the Severed Heads? I think i remember some seals in that song... Or something that sounded like seals at least.

8:31am Asheville Jon:

3 hours of The Residents ESKIMO!!!

8:48am People Like Us:

That seal's got a snail on it's head

8:59am Okasa:

A pleasant good morning Ken and all the little Kensketeers.

9:00am fred von helsing:

Brace for genre collision !

9:01am Jeezy:

Why do you get up so early, Ken?! Is it because you have to? Or your body just does it...

9:01am egal:

Kenstep.

9:01am common:

i do love elephant seals.

9:02am northguineahills:

It's been awhile since I've heard Asmus Tietchens....

9:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

🚽

9:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

Will someone think of the penguins?

9:05am Emile:

Disco duckin'

9:08am Following Too Close:

That's a pretty nice blasse there, Bassbestie.

9:10am Sam:

There's a good song I heard called "Girls on Bikes", I don't remember the band name, but that gif makes me think of it.

9:11am glenn:

so this baby seal walks into a club.....

9:11am Jeezy:

I think it's Royce, Sam. Perhaps even heard on this show...

9:12am F〓F〓 (:

I'm back! Where are the donkeys?!

Hey, playlist's not updating?

9:12am mark in the train:

Strangely this sounds better in mono

9:12am Sam:

Cool thanks.

9:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...definitely a narrative emerging...

9:13am Roberto:

My family and I visited the elephant seal birthing ground last December in the San Simeon area. The birth we witnessed lasted about 10 seconds. Then the seagulls lined up for the afterbirth.

🚽

9:13am Ken From Hyde Park:

In nature, nothing goes to waste.

9:14am mark in the train:

The French fries your family dropped ?

🚽

9:14am Ke:

Thanks for the memories Roberto - IO was there, lined up with the seagulls. Good times, good eatin'

9:14am chrizzi in berlin:

the seal shouldn' t eat plastic bags! like this whale did: :( http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2013/11/08/wal-verendet-vor-kueste-weil-er-zu-viele-plastik-abfaelle-geschluckt-hat/

9:15am northguineahills:

That last gif is Ken in 30 years.... after he ingests the essence of the Old Codger.

9:15am Michael:

I like the new Android application so far---I guess I can now remove the handmade Boredcast link from TuneIn.

Now if the mobile application could only show Ken's current animated gif in it I would not need any other applications on this phone....

9:15am trish:

nature in 5 words: "nutrient cycling and energy flow"

9:15am Parq:

Okay, I've decided. I'm changing the name of the album to "Lining Up for the Afterbirth".

9:16am mark in the train:

Only in Germany would a 37 character host name be normal .

9:16am F〓F〓 (:

Ok..There are no donkeys but I can see an ass. Playlist IS definitely updating automatically.

9:19am mark in the train:

http://what-if.xkcd.com

9:20am mark in the train:

Stirring Tea
I was absentmindedly stirring a cup of hot tea, when I got to thinking, "aren't I actually adding kinetic energy into this cup?" I know that stirring does help to cool down the tea, but what if I were to stir it faster? Would I be able to boil a cup of water by stirring?
Will Evans

🚽

9:23am Guido (Cologne):

Honeymoon Killers

9:23am Sam:

By stirring it you're just speeding up the process of entropy that makes the heat leave the tea. You are adding a trivial amount of energy, but that's offset by the fact that you're stimulating the process of heat loss. At least that's my take on it.

9:24am mark in the train:

Read the what-if link

9:24am dale:

hey crew - i was perusing old sears catalogs at wishbookweb and more googling took me to this page with a song written about the male model who had his wang hanging out in the 1975 catalog. enjoy!

www.pitch.com...

9:24am Roberto:

When in Montauk I collect and dispose of any plastic bags I find on the beach so's the sea turtles don't ingest. Evidently they sometimes mistake them for jellyfish. The resulting intestinal obstruction can cause the poor critters to starve to death.

🚽

9:25am Guido (Cologne):

is this Route Nationale 7 on the GIF?

9:26am Jeezy:

Did Ken just F up or did my audio system die?

9:27am Sam:

I'd rather eat a plastic bag than a jellyfish!

9:28am Asheville Jon:

dunkee?

9:28am egal:

Singing Seals are playing Union Hall in December.

9:28am Roberto:

C'mon Ken, play the dunkeys!

9:28am People Like Us:

the seal still has a snail on it's head though

9:29am F〓F〓 (:

Hmm...How suspicious. The donkeystep link is not working. Maybe it was a lame joke from the original poster.

9:29am Cheri Pi:

Comma zero?

9:30am Seal:

What? Oh. Nevermind.

9:30am Sam:

That's a nice pair o' eggs.

9:32am glenn:

man. the 7Os sucked in so many ways. i did notice that the model in the ad for ted williams hunting gear looked a LOT like warren beatty.

9:32am jaw:

best gif show ever

9:33am Okasa:

If Ken wants to show more moped butt gifs, I guess it would be too obvious to play "Life would be oh so sweet, if I were a bicycle seat."

9:34am F〓F〓 (:

As long as you are not a bicycle seat in Sweden.

9:35am SeanG:

Azz Everywhere

🚽

9:35am Guido (Cologne):

The Schlammpeiziger LP-title along with the GIF is a god laugh:
it's a pun on "swinging unit for smoke outlet" altered to "[...] intoxication outled".
I guess this is all by Ken's intention.

9:35am dale:

glenn, i remember them trying to push bodysuts on men back then so the shirt tail stayed in. or else it just felt good.

9:36am Sam:

I'd like to be a seat on the Q train

9:40am Michael:

@People Like Us: Is the snail waving? If so, then what time is it?

9:41am glenn:

i'm not sure which is worse, the man dress or the puke green carpet in the bathroom. honestly, what kind of moron puts carpet in a bathroom?

9:42am People Like Us:

3/4 of course

9:44am bobdoesthings:

what's the gif from for buttress o'kneel track?

🚽

9:45am Ken:

Bob, that's Sissy Spacek from the film "Badlands."

9:45am F〓F〓 (:

bobdoesthings,

I think that's from Badlands. But I'll have to double check on Internet-Movie-Caryn-Base.com

9:46am bobdoesthings:

Cool thanks Ken!!

9:50am Okasa:

I can't wait to see what gif Ken pairs up with the Irving Klaw Trio…

9:50am Okasa:

… oh, that's not what I was expecting. Hmmmm...

9:51am βrian:

Yes, carpet in the bathroom is fundamentally wrong.

9:52am common:

man, my parents had blue shag carpeting in their bathroom when i was a young un. gross and weird.

9:52am Sam:

What about if the top of the toilet seat is covered with carpet? Is that ok?

9:53am Marcel M:

oh man this guy again...

9:54am tim from champaign:

Ken, could you please play the Korean Ken song?

9:54am Sam:

You are very nice and talented and great and you do a good job and you are the general manager because you are awesome and very qualified and your show makes everybody the happiest they can be

9:54am βrian:

@Sam Well, that would be an aesthetic statement. (Until someone fails to see it in the middle of the night.)

9:55am F〓F〓 (:

Hey, don't dis the Joker! He's just being passionate and objective.

9:56am Okasa:

Wow, is that Christoph Waltz?! What the heck is that clip from?

9:56am F〓F〓 (:

Hey, the Zebra song ! Time to call Ken! C'mon..Michelle?

9:57am Spankyflop:

Ken - Speaking of standup comedy, how about some you-tube clips of some of your standup so us listeners from far away can see?

9:57am βrian:

Gah-gah-gif, gah-gah-gif! I've got a shiver.

9:58am tim from champaign:

Ken, are you doing some paperwork in the bathroom?

9:58am AndrewC.:

Why does Ken keep saying dunkey?

9:58am Bryant:

The Donkey Step is a rare but unique dance style. This is only used by the slickest male cats in the club. When the time is right and such a pimp has the spotlight on him, he will begin to tap his right foot and from there on he will prance around in circles jerking his body around like a donkey galloping. This dance style seems to work in nervous moments and makes other males in the club fools while seducing any female watching this manly gallop. (Thanks, Urban Dictionary!)

9:58am slater:

dunkey?

9:59am AndrewC.:

Is that some NJ regional accent? Dunkey?

10:00am F〓F〓 (:

Hold on..How am I supposed to pronounce Donkey?

10:02am KOTJ:

Here's what donkeystep is like for me:
The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist
404 Not Found, or perhaps 401 Not Authorized

10:03am tim from champaign:

O man, I got a great idea for the next fundraiser, Ken!!! You and Andy Breckman can have a charity Donkey Basketball game.

10:04am AndrewC.:

Tim - that is a slam dunkey.

10:05am Roberto:

Lying, not laying. Yeesh.

10:06am tim from champaign:

To pronunce "dunkey" midwestern style, say "DAWN-key" very nasally.

10:06am People Like Us:

if ever there was a time for Zorn and Eye it is now

10:08am People Like Us:

In case you want to know (and I know you want) this is how 'Donkey' sounds for a Spanish speaker: "Donqui"

10:17am Sem Chumbo:

I wake up and all of a sudden it's 1973. What gives?

10:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...okay - now your crazy gifs have crashed my browser
...I am definitely gonna have to rebooty...

10:21am Roberto:

September 21, 1975

10:24am bobdoesthings:

the way this lady sings makes me want to puke.

10:26am fred von helsing:

whoa S.a.B. got erased

10:26am Ike:

Wow, that one got nuked from orbit. Still was not as annoying as S.C. who has been cropping up again in force lately.

10:27am fred von helsing:

Battlestar Kennectica

🚽

10:28am Ken:

Who is S.C., Ike?

10:29am The Guz' Slim Pickins:

Ken, Can you play that AWFUL song that guy made about Andy Breckman...literally the worst song ever created. i almost feel bad for Andy, that's how horrible it is

10:30am dc pat:

Hola. Wie gehts?

10:31am Ike:

The usual, Ken. Everyone's favorite Milan Kundera fan. No wait, not Milan Kundera. Milo Kunik? Miles Cowlick? You know who I mean. Very active on Sunday evening comments among others.

🚽

10:32am Ken:

Oh geez, I know who you're talking about Ike - s/he's posting under the name S.C. now?!

10:34am Marcel M:

Ken do you posses the power to kick people off of here?

10:35am fred von helsing:

"The Fury" (Spielberg, 1978) was based on Ken

10:36am βrian:

Humming birds have twice made me almost leap from a ladder. When you're not expecting them they sound like giant mutant wasps.

10:36am sporting a b:

No I was just being a d.. I realize that . Prob too much coffee and that Phil's chick reminding me of someone,sorry love you all

10:37am PMS:

Is that a pistol in your panties or are you just telling me to back off?

10:37am trish:

Hummingbirds are often compared to helicopters because they can hover. In slo-mo, it looks more like they're 'rowing' the air. Or is it, 'sculling'?

Great gif.

10:37am dc pat:

wow, "a one remove" is one of my favorite tunes ever...

10:38am Ike:

I am almost afraid to invoke the full name, I'm worried it would be like saying "Beetlejuice" out loud. Or "Voldemort." Always shows up for Evan Funk Davies too. Absolutely NOT to be confused with Cheri Pi who is obviously a real person.

10:38am βrian:

And they can go from zero to sixty in a millisecond. It messes with one's sense of reality.

10:41am trish:

Screw the jet-pak, I want an electric hummingbird hover/flight-pak.

10:42am dale:

that's actually a hummingbird moth. they look like flying shrimp and are not birds at all.

10:43am βrian:

Cool. Do they taste like shrimp?

10:43am Skirkie:

Needs more butts.

10:44am Seymour Butts:

I'm on it.

10:44am dc pat:

I was going to say--birds don't have antennae...phew..

10:44am Dave B:

^ up vote Skirkie's comment ^

10:45am northguineahills:

Wouldn't a hummingbird moth have compound eyes?

10:45am dc pat:

I bet they do Brian as shrimp are basically insects anyway.

10:45am dale:

does the german woman packing have an appendectomy scar?

🚽

10:45am Ken:

10:45am slater:

10:45am bobdoesthings:

10:46am tim from champaign:

10:52am F〓F〓 (:

You glance at this beautiful humming thing flying around you in the garden and just when you think is a beautiful humming it turns out to be a moth from hell! They scare the Jesus out of me. It's like those big birds they were once flying low around me under a tree in a tropical area. But they were no birds but flying mokeys from hell! Well, actually they were big bats that look like flying monkeys. Very scary.

HUMMINGBIRDS - i've only seen them twice, and 1 time was in wash sq park, years ago. now i'm wondering if it was a moth. [i heard ken's KICKSTARTER idea for tonight's 7SD. and i just thought of one. now to figure out its (low) cost.]

11:19am tim from champaign:

@jennique - I'm overdue in rewatching it. King Of Comedy is always a top movie for me. In the pre-email days, me and my friend Luke used to make sure we included Rupert Pupkin's name somewhere in the address lines when we'd write letter to each other.

Great show Ken the Station Manager. Thanks

Another superb show, Ken. Your show is the embodiment of what freeform radio is all about. No one in my immediate or extended circle of friends understands (or appreciates) my music aesthetic, but it gives me great comfort in knowing others on this planet do. You are a great station manager
