Listener comments!
	3:00pm Wild Neil: PEACE All!
	3:01pm Irwin: Sorry, all, no Sabu today. Had to postpone.
	3:02pm Wild Neil: "...the rapelike aggressiveness of Coca-Cola"....lol!
	👻 3:02pm rrg: Play some Sabu anyway.
	👻 3:03pm rrg: I meant to say please.
	3:03pm TehBadDr: Does that mean we get some Joe Frank?
	3:03pm Michael 98145: greetings, fans of prolific artists
	👻 3:04pm Alison Porchnik: Writing in from my new office. In this new non-cavelike space, it's like I'm listening to a totally 'nother radio show.
	3:04pm Irwin: Will explain the alternatives first mic break.
	3:06pm Sem Chumbo: Hi, Irwin, Chusidians, and the like-minded. Loved Memoirs of an Amnesiac. Funny guy even hopped up on, what was it, chloral hydrate? Thanks for that memory, IC.
	3:07pm Irwin: That's where the quote originates. Currently reading.
	👻 3:09pm Listening Out There: Hoffman's Antique Barn...you must be confusing this with Sun Ra's house in Philly...
	3:13pm I am The Upsetter: Hi all!
	3:14pm TehBadDr: Brand Flakes is more like it!
	3:15pm Laura L: Sorry to hear Sabu has to postpone--well, it just means we can continue to looking forward to his visit. Sincerely, Pollyanna
	3:16pm Itzall Ablurr: What? NO Sabú?!? Hope he's doing alright and will re-schedule.
	👻 3:17pm Listening Out There: Time to make a cassette for Sabu, eh?
	3:18pm TehBadDr: Was looking forward to Sabu, old timey guys like that with local flavor are a hoot!
	3:19pm dug: go irwin :-D
	👻 3:19pm Alison Porchnik: Irwin has an iron will. When it comes to alkyhol, he's like Stalin.
	3:21pm Laura L: When I purchased the new Bran Flakes, I was temporarily stumped after payment when I went to download it and saw "Help Me." I thought, no, I don't want help, I want to download! Oh.... right! LOL.
	3:25pm Laura L: AP--did you change jobs or trade in the cave for a better space?
	👻 3:31pm Alison Porchnik: Both - same building, same floor. Different office, boss, work. Less vernal and interesting view but more natural light.
	3:36pm Laura L: AP--congratulations!
	3:37pm Dominick: always good to hear Monk
	3:40pm Irwin: Alison also renounced Judaism and became a Rosicrucian.
	3:43pm Parq: I had a rosicrucian for dinner last night. Four pounder from Maine. Mmm!
	3:43pm cat: i renounced liberation
	3:46pm cat: all 4 paws on the floor
	3:48pm berbo: The Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose is pretty cool.
	3:51pm thatpatsmith: Could be on the Zombies' Odyssey & Oracle
	3:52pm The Oscar: @thatpatsmith I was just about to say, if you'd put a gun to my head and asked me who did this song, I'd have probably said the Zombies. Knew the song from Nuggets, but never knew who it was-- great stuff.
	3:53pm Laura L: Thanks for finding a less-known and pea-pickin'-culiar tune with Glen Campbell.
	3:55pm upsetter5001: If you like that Sagittarius cut The first Millennium LP is also pretty great too. No Glen Campbell (RIP) on it.
	3:57pm TehBadDr: All Jazzy up in here!
	3:57pm The Oscar: I think my favorite oddities to come out of the Campbell/Usher/Boettcher axis are the "Mr. Gasser" albums they made for (with?) Big Daddy Roth.
	3:58pm stinky cheese finga: ok guis this is fuggin gnarlyy. the drums are hurting me internally (some kind of hemorrhaging)
	4:04pm Marshall Stacks: I stayed up late so many times listening to Shep on WOR.
	4:06pm flashbazbo: Shep was the "Angel headed hipster" in kerouacs on the road
	4:06pm Itzall Ablurr: "BUMPUSSES!!!"
	4:08pm Michael 98145: thank you, thank you for the Shep. really brings back memories.
	4:09pm V Priceless: that's some Chicagah accent
	4:11pm jan: 6L6 tubes, Raytheon! I'm old enough to remember this tech talk! Are there other listeners who know this arcana?
	4:12pm Marshall Stacks: Hohman, Indiana. Which you won't find on any map.
	👻 4:12pm chris: hi there. 'toobz' is my word of the day, i think.
	4:14pm Michael 98145: tubes?! of course; remember going to the hardware or drugstore and testing them on the device?
	4:15pm Itzall Ablurr: Dear jan, yes. My father-in-law operated a TV repair shop in NJ for decades and the place was full of tubes of all makes. I still have a box of them just because I think they're cool looking.
	4:18pm Michael 98145: { heh, "the behind side of new york city" }
	4:19pm Jeff: @jan et al: Why yes, I'm listening to Irwin and Shep right now through a gizmo which uses 6BZ7 triodes in its voltage-amplification stage. Interestingly, these are being used for audio-frequency amplification even though they were apparently originally designed for RF.
	4:20pm middlebun: 10:15-11:00, after the news, on WOR 710
	4:21pm Michael 98145: rebroadcast shortly thereafter on KRAB-fm
	4:21pm TehBadDr: This Shepard stuff is great! Thanx Irwin!
	4:22pm Jeff: Instead of saying toobz, though, I'm charmed by the name preferred by our chums across the Atlantic: "thermionic valves." It actually describes what they do really well.
	4:23pm Fuzzy: 6L6, 12AX7,EL34,5Y3...love the smell of old tube machines (radio, guitar amp, etc.)
	4:24pm Fuzzy: I miss my old boatanchor shortwave rigs (Hammarlund, National)
	4:26pm Henry: scott farkas!
	4:28pm jan: @jeff- Listening through Sonos... radio reception of WFMU was always so noisy in Manhattan. What a boon internet broadcast is for hearing WFMU- here in it's natural FM range and well outside and at any time, too! @itzall Ablurr- wish that we could take a field trip to the TV repair store. Those were wonderful places- long gone.
	4:30pm Parq: The hamster one is one of the best Shep stories I've ever heard, and that's going some.
	4:31pm Irwin: One more Shep -- and it's about RADIO (not tubes). Great one, with cheap sound effects.
	4:32pm Irwin: Shep never had much of a prop budget.
	4:33pm Michael 98145: all the magic of radio
	4:35pm Itzall Ablurr: Jan, I concur. I always loved going to his shop with all of the arcane tools and technology.
	4:35pm Parq: Anybody else have or heard this album? I borrowed it from a friend. One great army-era story, and a lot of small bits, some good and some not so much. www.discogs.com...
	4:37pm Marshall Stacks: The Internet Archive has a collection of Jean Shepherd recordings. archive.org...
	👻 4:37pm chris: hbd, Sabu! long may you reign.
	4:40pm Michael 98145: ''Jean Parker Shepherd, Jr.'' (July 26, 1921 – October 16, 1999)
	4:47pm Jeff: Love the inside radio talk.
	4:52pm Jeff: Directly to his larnix.
	4:52pm steveo: are you real, Irwin?
	4:52pm Michael 98145: - everything in this world is phony -
	4:55pm steveo: One of the biggest reasons I left Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phonies. That's all. They were coming in the goddam window.
	4:57pm Michael 98145: thanks, rrg !!!
	👻 4:58pm Listening Out There: "A Christmas Story"
	4:59pm Michael 98145: and they have NO idea who wrote it
	5:04pm Rory: Let's rise with The Fall
	5:04pm Rory: The fall of the 21st Century.
	5:16pm ultradamno: Great Barry Adamson tune!
	5:21pm Michael 98145: Loved Magazine -- especially live
	5:24pm Rory: According to the time zones I'm one hour behind those in the east. So in a way I'm commenting from the past like now and now and now!
	5:25pm Dean: One of my one-night-stand insta-bands c.1979 was Goddamn Tractor. We played a party, made it through an improvised tune drawing lyrics (in French) from Sartre's autobiography, Les Mots, then proceeded to our cover of "Motorcade," midway through which the cops arrived.
	5:28pm TehBadDr: Rory, are you time tripping again? I can always tell when you've been time tripping!
	5:30pm Rory: I'd just like to add that I'm 100% sober and I'm always time tripping...
	5:34pm Irwin: Happy Birthday, the great Sab!
	5:35pm Laura L: I remember it like yesterday and I wasn't even in Jersey City in 1962! Happy Birthday Sabu!!
	5:35pm Itzall Ablurr: Today? I am running under "da pumps" in honor of Mr. Ferretti's birthday. Get well soon, Sabú.
	👻 5:42pm Mark the Sardine: Great show today, Irwin
	5:47pm Michael 98145: Really. Thanks again, Irwin.
	10:54am mb: Keep pushin' Hoboken Jack!!
