	3:25pm Jett: I like that jingle @Todd-o-phonic Todd
	3:25pm David in London: Grooving here in Londinium to the cool, cool sounds that I wanna hear. Hello all.
	3:26pm morphe': Simon is now humming TOM o Phonic!!! TOM o Phonic!!! Should I correct him???? I think no.....
	3:27pm Space cowboy: @todd and the serious jams your playing get us through
	3:27pm Jett: @morphe' Oh you mean @Joe McG's favorite.
	3:29pm Jett: @Todd-o-phonic Todd Do whatever floats your boat Christmas or not.
	3:29pm morphe': Jett - I do not get the reference???? I am down with Joe McG, but truly found FMU in 1980-1 looking for Evan at NYU...
	3:29pm myron feld: Tell it, Todd!
	3:30pm Bob: Stick to the music. At least it's something you know about.
	3:30pm Joe B: no snow in the forecast yet the snowflakes have arrived
	3:31pm Motobro: The will of the people? What’s color got to do with it? Manipulation is not good no matter where it comes from.
	3:31pm MFlynn: Right on Todd!!!
	3:31pm Kpx: you use a net, I just use a little spray.
	3:31pm Kpx: you use a net, I just use a little spray.
	3:32pm Jett: @morphe' I guess you didn't know how "Hotel California" by The Eagles is @JoeMcG 's absolute favorite! (sic)
	3:32pm kpx: testing testing, my texts don't seem to be sending.
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: Ha, good one, Joe B!
	3:33pm Jett: @Joe B I guess we gotta deal with whatever they send us.
	3:33pm JohnEBGood: Black is Beautiful. But black is not a color. Neither is white.
	3:34pm kpx: ignore the double text I'm having technical difficulties .
	3:34pm Jett: My supercool bud, Palmyra Delran!
	3:35pm medson: Hi TPOT and everyone.
	3:36pm Hyperskee: Love ya Todd ..my absolut fav...with Jonesy and Suzie Michael .. Many more....but stop the liberal nonsense...I can almost bet it'll comeback to kick many of us in the ass.....the threat isn't internal ..it's our ENEMIES....frickn A ...we need a pitbull ..not a poodle...SMDH..
	3:36pm Matt Clarke: Good afternoon, Todd! Mincemeat pies are in the oven and the tunes are cranked loud.
	3:36pm morphe': Jett - I love and respect Joe McG so I'll imagine you are joking???? If no, I will still love and respect Joe McG because we all have our "pitfalls". Bagpipes(Handy's too), Jaques Brelle, bad Nederlands Polks shite????, etc...
	👻 3:37pm Hoboken Jack: Pow Pow Ho Ho Pow! Hi TOPT, Ruth, Joe, Tim, Greg, Tom, Frank, Dennis, Spodi, MFlynn, Handy, Medson Man, all. Grandpa Bob, who let you on the computer again? I'll be in to change you in a second.
	3:37pm Peter: WFMU has always been left leaning/progressive besides a few DJs & JMAM. It's good to have at least one station like that when most of radio is dominated by radical right wing people.
	3:37pm rich the greeb: I’m sure I’m late to the party but Abbadabbadoo, great job last night!
	3:37pm elkeno: still cannot almost fathom how Coco fits the bill with both Greg Cartwright & the New pornographers. Cool cool cool.
	3:38pm Ruth Booth: JACK!
	3:38pm Monica C: My sentiments exactly, Coco.
	3:38pm Handy Haversack: Bagpipes are a feature, not a bug, morph! Yo, Jack!
	3:39pm Joe B: @Peter - yes, radio is dominated by right wing radicals, yet things are pretty mild on FMU. but a 45-second comment triggers the crybabies like Bob and hyperskee
	👻 3:39pm Hoboken Jack: MVP Matt, happy holidays!
	3:39pm morphe': ps.Erratta: Handy's/Kate's Bagpipe should not be included in ironic texts. Bagpipe is a hound to be reconded with - unless there is precipitation or the barometer is heading below 1000...
	3:40pm Matt Clarke: Jack!! How ya doin? Happy Holidays to you, my friend. Hope I see ya in 2021
	3:40pm morphe': Handy - I was already correcting my mistake as you were writing...
	👻 3:40pm Hoboken Jack: Hyperskeevy
	3:41pm Jett: @morphe' I think @JoeMcG is a great guy also. It's an on going joke at the station about Hotel California. I'm sure others will hip you to it.
	3:42pm Handy Haversack: He'll always forgive you, morph. We did twice back and forth across the Pulaski Bridge today, both of us in our winter jackets. Cost us a little Michael Shelley and a little Rex, but the light and movement felt good.
	3:42pm elkeno: :)
	3:43pm Stewball: Reigning Sound rocks!!!!
	3:43pm bob Dublon: man are u ever correct..this is the orig drummer from the band Plasticland Fabulon Triptometer Midnight records .that btw also contained my roommate at the time Brian Ritchie .(v femmes )your interviews are exquisite btw..give me a mailing address and I'll send you one my hand made corona19/j.hendrix ...x mas cards keep it up dude your great...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	👻 3:47pm Hoboken Jack: A nice Bandcamp pickup for me was an odds and sods collection of Fred "Saturday Looks Good" Thomas.
	3:48pm Bob: Funny, Joe B immediately fills the stereotype of a Leftist be resorting to nane calling. Well, not really resorting, because it's their go-to, 1st thing. Eh, whatever.
	3:48pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hoboken Jack: do you think every "odds and sods collection" is better than "Odds and Sods"?
	3:49pm listener 126464: Great job last night Todd, cheers everybody! Hello Hoboken Jack!
	3:49pm KlausVonB: I’m late too with this, but good to see another familiar face last night w/ YLT at the Greene Space.
	3:50pm listener 126464: I think Fred Thomas is part of Failed Flowers now.
	3:50pm Joe B: just following the lead set by your hero, the name-calling president
	3:50pm HyperDose: Great selections today Todd! The fights are about to start, so going to have to catch the rest on the archive. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! Turn it up!!!
	3:51pm listener 126464: America changed our password today.
	3:51pm johnk77: i remember the reducers being really good live was that the 80s?
	3:51pm Hyperskee: No Hoboken Jack ...not at all ....
	3:51pm Joe B: Bob's feelings are hurt because he supports overthrowng elections and installing a dictator. Sad.
	3:51pm Listener Bop Monroe: even tho it's not there yet, this is a GREAT first hour Mr. TOPT!!!! Rave on!
	3:52pm Hyperskee: Difference of opinion.....but as much American 🇺🇸 as the next guy.....stop the nonsense
	3:53pm Joe B: I agree Hyper - trump should stop the nonsense and admit he lost
	3:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @johnk77: I think they continued into the 90's, but the Reducers heyday such as it was came in the 80's.
	3:55pm Hyperskee: Yes...Joe B ..enough.....but current leadership is not the answer either......sad to say
	3:55pm JohnEBGood: Pulaski Skyway connects Newark to Jersey City. It's not the GG Bridge but it's cool.
	3:56pm Hyperskee: Hey Joe B ...you an amazing dj ...keep up the great work ...love ya man
	3:59pm Handy Haversack: I'm accomplishing nothing today! I went for a walk, fed the birds, bought some books, but I keep just listening to the tunes and staring at nothing. I guess I'm not used to having time to chill anymore! But very glad to be doing nothing will YOU all.
	3:59pm Jett: Did you mention Soupy? He has a cool Christmas record.
	4:00pm RobinSays: Thanx Todd for soothing my Christmas blues by playing wonderfully witty rock 'n' roll holiday songs.
	4:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @RobinSays: You're welcome! @Handy Haversack: No card game?!!? What books did you buy?
	4:02pm sufferwords: I’m a zillion percent fuck christmas but though the sun shines through my open window, Los Angeles in full weather gift mode, i’m forced to ‘shelter in place’ because all the hyper xmas people haven’t been following the protocols as strictly as I have, that said thanks Todd for your deep dive into the only part of xmas worth a shit, the boss tunes
	4:03pm Matt Clarke: Todd is our superstar
	4:04pm myron feld: Suspiciously Roy Woodian saxes in here.....
	4:06pm Dennis Diken: Thanks for the shout out young Todd!
	4:07pm Handy Haversack: Every other week for poker, Todd! Hoping for a Boxing Day reversal after busting out last week. I was ahead, ahead, ahead ... and then behind.

	4:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Handy Haversack: All that and Slade too!
	4:11pm Peter: Nice. These are mostly fiction Handy? Have you read the authors before? I'm upstate at my parent's place for the winter; surrounded by hundreds of dusty old out of print books that my grandparents left. Will keep me occupied.
	4:11pm Richard Whig: digging the x-o-phonic Xmas tunes!

	4:16pm kpx: gonna jump off now, still gonna be listening. thx for the tunage.
	4:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I did not Joe! Thanks for sharing the bit of info with my listeners and me. Do you know what era Who?

	4:16pm Richard Whig: hope everyone's holidays are mighty!
	4:17pm efd: This Pilot Christmas song is great, and also I'm a little mad that I didn't already know about it!
	4:18pm Handy Haversack: And Kate's home from band practice, yay!
	4:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Looking forward to the piece on listening habits of NFL Coaching Greats!
	4:18pm Joe B: @Todd - guessing classic rock era. He apparently was moved that they chose to play behind blue eyes while playing a video montage when he returned to Chicago in January with the Panthers
	4:18pm efd: I am a big fan of the band-reworks-their-big-hit-as-a-Christmas-song genre
	4:18pm davefromtoronto: pilot must have had bills to pay...
	4:19pm Joe B: @efd - expecting you to be taking care of a segue with this one
	4:19pm Joe B: @frank - time to lace 'em up!
	4:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: Beating you to the punch like Mary Wells!

	4:21pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good Todd O’!

	4:22pm Joe B: @efd - ha! hopefully the renegades are working on 13 Presents
	4:23pm Jett: @efd referencing BTO.
	4:23pm Matt Clarke: O O O Ozembic
	4:24pm Victrola Tom: Go Pack Go!
	4:24pm efd: @Joe B if only!!
	👻 4:24pm Frank In Queens: Tooooooonnnnnnnssssssss!!!!!!!!
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: I just described the Pilot song to Kate, and she seems dubious. You can probably go back to Svengoolie at halftime, Todd, when the Packers are up by 35.
	👻 4:25pm Frank In Queens: Yes, I will certainly be watching. At least until Bob's show starts anyway.
	4:26pm Michael Shelley: We're baking cookies and listening. Great show, as always!
	4:27pm Joe B: so cool of them to record that set for you TOPT
	4:27pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Handy Haversack: You would think, but this is exactly the type of game they phone it in for and wind up in trouble.
	4:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: Agreed! They phoned it in but it was still great...works better for them than The Packers!
	4:29pm Victrola Tom: No tail piping tonight!
	4:33pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Thanks sweetheart. You took me to that John Cale show for a Christmas present a few years ago. That was one great gift! Love you.

	4:34pm DjLorraine: Thanks for saving and sharing that Cribs Live Christmas song
	4:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @DjLorraine: You're welcome! @Frank In Queens: Yes, BAM!
	👻 4:38pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, wonderful show that was.
	4:40pm ChrisB.: I'm telling you, this has been one very FMU Christmas today!
	4:43pm Christina Low: Superb taste, that chap.
	4:44pm Sissophonic Cheryl: @Frank In Queens, it was a magical night. All time fave.
	4:48pm Bootsie: I like this one!
	4:49pm Bootsie: I don't recall ever before hearing of The Sha La Das
	4:49pm Mr C: Todd..I just want to wish you and Sisaphonic a safe, healthy and soul Christmas this year. Next year this time let's have love in the air and no Proud Boys anywhere. Keep on brother!
	4:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Bootsie: They are part of the extended Daptone Records family.
	4:51pm Handy Haversack: I'm dreaming of a Christmas-o-phonic! (I meant to post 15 mins. ago when you said you were subbing for Clay. I got distracted! But don't worry. The Sidecars are made and resting, briefly, on Michael Shelley Show Coasters!)
	4:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Mr C: Right back at you Joe and I like the way you think!!!
	4:51pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Right back to you, Mr C!
	4:52pm Anthony S.: My favorite Xmas song EVER. Thanks Todd.

	4:53pm Bootsie: Thanks Todd!
	4:57pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Between last night w YLT & today’s show, I feel like the seasonal spirit has been resurrected for me. Both welcome & bright lights in the midst of all the rest. Grazie, grazie
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: Hey, wishes for peaceful days and warm hearts sent your way, Dungaroos K, from both of us up here in Greenpoint. Hell, from the dog, too. I'm sure he'd send them if he knew you!
	5:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dungaroos Kipawah: The socks are in the mail!
	5:01pm Jett: Hello, Merry Christmas to you. @DjLorraine. 🎅

	5:03pm davefromtoronto: aren't there any christmas rawk tunes that are trashing the season? i don't want nativity i want negativity!
	5:06pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Wailers Don’t Believe in Christmas is one for the party poopers!
	5:06pm Jett: Honky Tonk Man or the Unpredictable Johnny Rodz or maybe Baron Michel Scicluna.
	5:07pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Ooops! Sonics D’uh

	5:10pm listener 126464: what I want, what I really really want for christmas
	👻 5:10pm Frank In Queens: I'll take death....
	5:10pm efd: anything that gets Chris Butler paid is okay in my book!
	5:10pm Bootsie: This displeases me.
	5:10pm Matt Clarke: Eugene says thank you for the Spice, Todd
	5:11pm SammyC: I think Michael Shelly said it best
	5:11pm sufferwords: sorry - getting off on Spice Girls
	5:11pm ?: Geri H. is now known as Old Spice.

	5:11pm Gerry from Miami: @davefromtoronto. Yes, indeed, gg allin has a wonderfully profane version of "The 12 Days of Christmas." Catch it on YouTube.
	5:11pm SammyC: there are no covers that are equal

	5:14pm Corey: Hello Todd and listeners! Late to the party, but made it in time for the Spice Girls!
	5:15pm Jett: If he starts running out, he'll slip in Ray Conniff or Mitch Miller.
	5:15pm Handy Haversack: Your luck is strong, Corey!
	5:15pm Gerry from Miami: TOPT, Roy Wood and Wizzard should have been massive, just like his previous band, the Move. Pop music just ain't fair!!
	5:16pm Matt Clarke: We should be so lucky, Jett
	5:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gerry from Miami: They were pretty massive in the UK for a bit...

	5:36pm Christina Low: One of the best Christmas songs. Could almost be shoegaze.
	5:39pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Todd we actually did- it was the first year in as long as I can remember that Josh (husband) was home all 8 nights- he usually travels a lot. How about you? Handy Spice girls???

	3:29pm morphe': Jett - I do not get the reference???? I am down with Joe McG, but truly found FMU in 1980-1 looking for Evan at NYU...
	3:29pm myron feld: Tell it, Todd!
	3:30pm Bob: Stick to the music. At least it's something you know about.
	3:30pm Joe B: no snow in the forecast yet the snowflakes have arrived
	3:31pm Motobro: The will of the people? What’s color got to do with it? Manipulation is not good no matter where it comes from.
	3:31pm MFlynn: Right on Todd!!!
	3:31pm Kpx: you use a net, I just use a little spray.
	3:31pm Kpx: you use a net, I just use a little spray.
	3:32pm Jett: @morphe' I guess you didn't know how "Hotel California" by The Eagles is @JoeMcG 's absolute favorite! (sic)
	3:32pm kpx: testing testing, my texts don't seem to be sending.
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: Ha, good one, Joe B!
	3:33pm Jett: @Joe B I guess we gotta deal with whatever they send us.
	3:33pm JohnEBGood: Black is Beautiful. But black is not a color. Neither is white.

	3:34pm Jett: My supercool bud, Palmyra Delran!
	3:35pm medson: Hi TPOT and everyone.
	3:36pm Hyperskee: Love ya Todd ..my absolut fav...with Jonesy and Suzie Michael .. Many more....but stop the liberal nonsense...I can almost bet it'll comeback to kick many of us in the ass.....the threat isn't internal ..it's our ENEMIES....frickn A ...we need a pitbull ..not a poodle...SMDH..
	3:36pm Matt Clarke: Good afternoon, Todd! Mincemeat pies are in the oven and the tunes are cranked loud.
	3:36pm morphe': Jett - I love and respect Joe McG so I'll imagine you are joking???? If no, I will still love and respect Joe McG because we all have our "pitfalls". Bagpipes(Handy's too), Jaques Brelle, bad Nederlands Polks shite????, etc...
	👻 3:37pm Hoboken Jack: Pow Pow Ho Ho Pow! Hi TOPT, Ruth, Joe, Tim, Greg, Tom, Frank, Dennis, Spodi, MFlynn, Handy, Medson Man, all. Grandpa Bob, who let you on the computer again? I'll be in to change you in a second.
	3:37pm Peter: WFMU has always been left leaning/progressive besides a few DJs & JMAM. It's good to have at least one station like that when most of radio is dominated by radical right wing people.
	3:37pm rich the greeb: I’m sure I’m late to the party but Abbadabbadoo, great job last night!
	3:37pm elkeno: still cannot almost fathom how Coco fits the bill with both Greg Cartwright & the New pornographers. Cool cool cool.
	3:38pm Ruth Booth: JACK!
	3:38pm Monica C: My sentiments exactly, Coco.
	3:38pm Handy Haversack: Bagpipes are a feature, not a bug, morph! Yo, Jack!
	3:39pm Joe B: @Peter - yes, radio is dominated by right wing radicals, yet things are pretty mild on FMU. but a 45-second comment triggers the crybabies like Bob and hyperskee
	👻 3:39pm Hoboken Jack: MVP Matt, happy holidays!
	3:39pm morphe': ps.Erratta: Handy's/Kate's Bagpipe should not be included in ironic texts. Bagpipe is a hound to be reconded with - unless there is precipitation or the barometer is heading below 1000...
	3:40pm Matt Clarke: Jack!! How ya doin? Happy Holidays to you, my friend. Hope I see ya in 2021
	3:40pm morphe': Handy - I was already correcting my mistake as you were writing...
	👻 3:40pm Hoboken Jack: Hyperskeevy
	3:41pm Jett: @morphe' I think @JoeMcG is a great guy also. It's an on going joke at the station about Hotel California. I'm sure others will hip you to it.
	3:42pm Handy Haversack: He'll always forgive you, morph. We did twice back and forth across the Pulaski Bridge today, both of us in our winter jackets. Cost us a little Michael Shelley and a little Rex, but the light and movement felt good.
	3:42pm elkeno: :)
	3:43pm Stewball: Reigning Sound rocks!!!!
	3:43pm bob Dublon: man are u ever correct..this is the orig drummer from the band Plasticland Fabulon Triptometer Midnight records .that btw also contained my roommate at the time Brian Ritchie .(v femmes )your interviews are exquisite btw..give me a mailing address and I'll send you one my hand made corona19/j.hendrix ...x mas cards keep it up dude your great...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	👻 3:47pm Hoboken Jack: A nice Bandcamp pickup for me was an odds and sods collection of Fred "Saturday Looks Good" Thomas.
	3:48pm Bob: Funny, Joe B immediately fills the stereotype of a Leftist be resorting to nane calling. Well, not really resorting, because it's their go-to, 1st thing. Eh, whatever.
	3:48pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hoboken Jack: do you think every "odds and sods collection" is better than "Odds and Sods"?
	3:49pm listener 126464: Great job last night Todd, cheers everybody! Hello Hoboken Jack!
	3:49pm KlausVonB: I’m late too with this, but good to see another familiar face last night w/ YLT at the Greene Space.
	3:50pm listener 126464: I think Fred Thomas is part of Failed Flowers now.
	3:50pm Joe B: just following the lead set by your hero, the name-calling president
	3:50pm HyperDose: Great selections today Todd! The fights are about to start, so going to have to catch the rest on the archive. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! Turn it up!!!
	3:51pm listener 126464: America changed our password today.
	3:51pm johnk77: i remember the reducers being really good live was that the 80s?
	3:51pm Hyperskee: No Hoboken Jack ...not at all ....
	3:51pm Joe B: Bob's feelings are hurt because he supports overthrowng elections and installing a dictator. Sad.
	3:51pm Listener Bop Monroe: even tho it's not there yet, this is a GREAT first hour Mr. TOPT!!!! Rave on!
	3:52pm Hyperskee: Difference of opinion.....but as much American 🇺🇸 as the next guy.....stop the nonsense
	3:53pm Joe B: I agree Hyper - trump should stop the nonsense and admit he lost
	3:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @johnk77: I think they continued into the 90's, but the Reducers heyday such as it was came in the 80's.
	3:55pm Hyperskee: Yes...Joe B ..enough.....but current leadership is not the answer either......sad to say
	3:55pm JohnEBGood: Pulaski Skyway connects Newark to Jersey City. It's not the GG Bridge but it's cool.
	3:56pm Hyperskee: Hey Joe B ...you an amazing dj ...keep up the great work ...love ya man
	3:59pm Handy Haversack: I'm accomplishing nothing today! I went for a walk, fed the birds, bought some books, but I keep just listening to the tunes and staring at nothing. I guess I'm not used to having time to chill anymore! But very glad to be doing nothing will YOU all.
	3:59pm Jett: Did you mention Soupy? He has a cool Christmas record.
	4:00pm RobinSays: Thanx Todd for soothing my Christmas blues by playing wonderfully witty rock 'n' roll holiday songs.
	4:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @RobinSays: You're welcome! @Handy Haversack: No card game?!!? What books did you buy?
	4:02pm sufferwords: I’m a zillion percent fuck christmas but though the sun shines through my open window, Los Angeles in full weather gift mode, i’m forced to ‘shelter in place’ because all the hyper xmas people haven’t been following the protocols as strictly as I have, that said thanks Todd for your deep dive into the only part of xmas worth a shit, the boss tunes
	4:03pm Matt Clarke: Todd is our superstar
	4:04pm myron feld: Suspiciously Roy Woodian saxes in here.....
	4:06pm Dennis Diken: Thanks for the shout out young Todd!

	4:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I did not Joe! Thanks for sharing the bit of info with my listeners and me. Do you know what era Who?
	👻 4:16pm Frank In Queens: @Joe B, seems like work will be picking up for you in about a month!
	4:16pm Richard Whig: hope everyone's holidays are mighty!
	4:17pm efd: This Pilot Christmas song is great, and also I'm a little mad that I didn't already know about it!
	4:18pm Handy Haversack: And Kate's home from band practice, yay!
	4:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Looking forward to the piece on listening habits of NFL Coaching Greats!
	4:18pm Joe B: @Todd - guessing classic rock era. He apparently was moved that they chose to play behind blue eyes while playing a video montage when he returned to Chicago in January with the Panthers
	4:18pm efd: I am a big fan of the band-reworks-their-big-hit-as-a-Christmas-song genre
	4:18pm davefromtoronto: pilot must have had bills to pay...
	4:19pm Joe B: @efd - expecting you to be taking care of a segue with this one
	4:19pm Joe B: @frank - time to lace 'em up!
	4:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: Beating you to the punch like Mary Wells!
	👻 4:20pm Frank In Queens: @Joe B - Thank fuck!
	4:20pm JohnEBGood: Everyone On The Moon.
	4:21pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good Todd O’!
	4:21pm Matt Clarke: Better Believe We Got Snow

	👻 4:24pm Frank In Queens: Tooooooonnnnnnnssssssss!!!!!!!!
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: I just described the Pilot song to Kate, and she seems dubious. You can probably go back to Svengoolie at halftime, Todd, when the Packers are up by 35.
	👻 4:25pm Frank In Queens: Yes, I will certainly be watching. At least until Bob's show starts anyway.
	4:26pm Michael Shelley: We're baking cookies and listening. Great show, as always!
	4:27pm Joe B: so cool of them to record that set for you TOPT
	4:27pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Handy Haversack: You would think, but this is exactly the type of game they phone it in for and wind up in trouble.

	4:29pm Victrola Tom: No tail piping tonight!

	4:51pm Handy Haversack: I'm dreaming of a Christmas-o-phonic! (I meant to post 15 mins. ago when you said you were subbing for Clay. I got distracted! But don't worry. The Sidecars are made and resting, briefly, on Michael Shelley Show Coasters!)

	4:57pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Between last night w YLT & today’s show, I feel like the seasonal spirit has been resurrected for me. Both welcome & bright lights in the midst of all the rest. Grazie, grazie
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: Hey, wishes for peaceful days and warm hearts sent your way, Dungaroos K, from both of us up here in Greenpoint. Hell, from the dog, too. I'm sure he'd send them if he knew you!

	5:10pm efd: anything that gets Chris Butler paid is okay in my book!
	5:10pm Bootsie: This displeases me.
	5:10pm Matt Clarke: Eugene says thank you for the Spice, Todd
	5:11pm SammyC: I think Michael Shelly said it best

	5:15pm Handy Haversack: Your luck is strong, Corey!
	5:15pm Gerry from Miami: TOPT, Roy Wood and Wizzard should have been massive, just like his previous band, the Move. Pop music just ain't fair!!
