Listener comments!
	10:03pm chresti: Hi Sam and breathing horse castles!
	10:03pm Sam Segal: Chresti! Thanks for inhaling and exhaling with us this evening.
	10:04pm headcleaner: Can you bring horses on the SI ferry?
	10:04pm TDK60: Hi Sam.
	10:05pm Sam Segal: Only one way to find out, headcleaner!
	10:06pm Sam Segal: Happy Almost-Thursday, TDK!
	10:06pm Hi: Pie walks and says to himself, gall it’s been a while Layouts looking cooler than ever.
	10:06pm Constantly Choking: Out the gates with a banger! Hello castle inhalers
	10:07pm Sam Segal: Hi, Hi-Pie!
	10:07pm Sam Segal: Glad you're digging the fuzzy, scuzzy psych, CC!
	10:10pm Hi: Castle inhalers, classic.
	10:10pm chresti: It's nice to have a nyce bank.
	10:12pm Constantly Choking: one of the online listings has it as "my evilness"
	10:14pm Sam Segal: "My Evilness" is way more badass, so let's go with that.
	🥁 10:16pm WR: Hello Sam and drummer streamers, be right back after I heat up this can of beans and warm a few tortillas.
	10:18pm Pie: God asks me “Have you ever seen yourself?” My response- “not very well”
	10:18pm Sam Segal: Welcome, WR! Black beans, corn tortillas? Pinto beans, flower tortillas? Some other wild culinary creation I cannot even conceive of?
	10:22pm Sam Segal: Another one of God's classic humdingers. I relate to your answer, Pie!
	10:25pm Constantly Choking: "humdinger" should come back
	10:26pm Sam Segal: If You Lose Your Horse: the official sponsor of the word "humdinger."
	10:27pm Pie: “Gall I need to eat, but I don’t want to gain weight. Maybe I’ll just eat myself” Get it? Because I’m pie. Lol enough of this and on a serious note I might have a sandwich and some hummus or some sort snack - actually no wait I have that pasta. Thanks everyone!
	10:28pm Sam Segal: Happy pasta eating, Pie!
	10:31pm Constantly Choking: every song so good !
	10:32pm Sam Segal: I'm glad you think so, CC. I like em too!
	10:33pm I k e: I can dig it! And any of you punk-ass fools rolling up into Sam's grill better stand back! ...wait, there are no punk-ass fools, are there? I played myself!
	10:33pm Pie: It’d be funny if they had Stevie Griffin name a Tom Cruise movie and he named Grease
	10:35pm Sam Segal: Ike! Thank you for standing up on my behalf. While there are no punk-ass fools here now, you never know if some might show up later. Maybe now they will know they aren't welcome here!
	10:38pm Pie: OR.. they knew the whole time and that’s why they never show/showed up. As in the words of me a food, “some mistakes are meant to be”
	10:43pm Constantly Choking: Hey Sam, do you ever get anxious about your shows? I would be a nervous wreck before every single show, and after for that matter.
	10:44pm zzz: Guy + Christian. this is wild! ahoy-hoy DJ SS, and all
	10:45pm Pie: Happens to me all the time. Classic case of cart before the horse.
	10:47pm Pie: I was really thinking Hanni would also be a jazz pianist. Don’t know why.
	10:50pm headcleaner: I'm also having pasta tonite - strictly speaking soba, but with regular italian pasta sauce (works surprisingly well)
	10:51pm Pie: He teach ya anything?
	10:54pm chresti: I see somebody else because the last one was not good.
	10:54pm rw: Good evening!
	🥁 10:54pm WR: black beans with carrots and cheese on top with corn tortillas. Almost on the table.
	10:54pm chresti: Hi rw!
	10:55pm Sam Segal: Welcome, rw and zzz!
	10:55pm rw: Yo chresti!
	10:55pm headcleaner: There are different kinds of "deep cleaning": One is regular prophylaxis, which doesn't cost much and should probably be done at least 2x a year. Then there are certain deeper kinds, whose names escape me, and which could perhaps be a form of pick-pocketing. Bottom line, if it's not the regular prophylaxis, then ask for them what the justification is, and then ... chew on it for a bit
	10:56pm I k e: BWAHAHAHA great Seinfeld impression. But I probably just like it because I don't get Seinfeld at all and I always thought his show was a punk-ass fool parade.
	10:57pm I k e: I almost never go to the dentist. I am always suspicious that they're all punk-ass fools who are ripping me off! Prophylaxis, really? Is that totally necessary? I've got a nice electric toothbrush, isn't that good enough? (Fuck our health care system.)
	10:58pm Constantly Choking: yes dude!
	10:58pm Sam Segal: @CC: It's a good question. I don't usually get nervous, because I've been doing a weekly radio show pretty consistently since I was a sophomore in high school, so it is sort of second nature to me at this point. I do get nervous if I am ever going to interview someone or have a co-host (as I have during the marathon a few times over the years). It also helps that I am usually broadcasting from the comfort of my own apartment.
	10:58pm Pie: Punk ass food parade if you ask me. When I go to the dentist, I know what I’m getting. Prophylaxis. And maybe my permanent retainer put back in, might also need an Invisalign’s before hand.
	10:58pm zzz: anti-dentites, the lot of you
	10:59pm Sam Segal: Hahaha, speaking of Seinfeld, zzz!
	10:59pm rw: Red beans with brown rice here. Cheese and pico de gallo on top with flour tortillas and corn tortilla chips. WR and I are in the same zone. Hey Sam!
	11:00pm headcleaner: Even Presidents gotta floss, Ike. So no, just brushing isn't enough. As for prophylaxis being strictly 'necessary', I don't actually know, but again it's not expensive, and the difference (before/after) is quite noticeable, in terms of all-around grodiness in those parts, I find
	11:00pm I k e: Oh I definitely floss. I floss a lot.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: greetings Sam, breathing castles
	11:02pm headcleaner: BTW I've been seeing a good dentist, non-pick-pocketing, reasonably priced, in the Gramercy Park area -- if anyone wants a referral, drop me a message via my profile page + I'll get back to you
	11:02pm Sam Segal: The deeper reason I am suspicious of my dentist is that they recently recommended a gum surgery that would cost me $10,000 out-of-pocket. I have a bit of a gum recession issue, but I seriously doubt I am in bad enough shape to justify a ten-grand surgery!
	11:03pm Pie: (Slowly stand up and does the black power symbol)
	11:03pm Pie: *Stand(s)
	11:03pm Sam Segal: @headcleaner, I will actually follow up with you on that. Thank you!
	11:04pm Sam Segal: Howdy, hello, and welcome, Coel!
	11:04pm headcleaner: I always get 2nd and 3rd opinions for anything in that price category, Sam -- and for that matter anything painful-sounding and/or invasive. I've actually been around the block dental-care wise + will be happy to share my recs with you
	11:05pm Sam Segal: Very much appreciated, headcleaner.
	11:06pm headcleaner: not your usual samba, by any stretch
	11:06pm chresti: We have a friend that had all his teeth pulled out rather than pay $$$$$ for dental work.
	11:06pm Sam Segal: WR, I finally found your samba!
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: Sam, my mother just got taken for a $10,000 ride. she was 85 years old when the process started (87 now). i guess her dentist figured he better move on it.
	11:07pm Sam Segal: Wow, Chresti, we really do live in a stupid and cruel country.
	11:08pm Sam Segal: I'm sorry to hear that, coel. Due to my midwestern naivete, I never realized until recently that there are so many crook dentists out there!
	11:08pm headcleaner: sad to hear your friend took that route, chresti. teeth are mega-important - not just for obvious reasons, but for the whole digestive + immune system. that's why I don't she crocodile tears about the 20k or so bill for some work I've had done recently.
	11:08pm Sam Segal: Not to disparage the profession, if any of you work in the dental field!
	🥁 11:09pm WR: thanks Sam, i wondered where I had left it.
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: most doctors... auto mechanics, internet companies, publishers, pharmaceutical companies. . . . .
	11:10pm I k e: Hot take: the 90s sitcom totem pole: Early Simpsons (brilliant) > Red Dwarf (awesomely weird British sci-fi comedy) > Futurama (good) > ummm maybe Just Shoot Me and Drew Carey (OK) > Seinfeld (overrated) > Friends (wildly overrated) > all the garbage that came on in the protected timeslots after Seinfeld and Friends, except Just Shoot Me. I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i've thought about moving to a civilized country.
	11:11pm headcleaner: And to everyone within the sound of my voice: There are these things known as "teaching schools", that can be a life-saver to anyone needing dental work but short on cash. They don't generally advertise, and the bureaucracy can be a minor nightmare to deal with -- but they can save your financial skin (as well as your teeth), if you wind up in a bad spot. Specifically here in Gotham we have NYU Langone -- again, they're not fun to deal with at the bureaucracy level -- but they will get the job done (and done quite well) at a reasonable cost.
	11:11pm Chris Farrell 🥧: 🌎
	11:12pm I k e: @coel, Canada won't accept most of us. They probably think we're punks, or fools, or maybe fool-ass punks.
	11:13pm Sam Segal: @Ike, I confess, I am a lover of the sitcom "Seinfeld," less of a fan of Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up. But I'd like to nominate The Larry Sanders Show for inclusion toward the top of your list.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: i think one probably gets better care at a school than an established office, generally. they're trying harder, the knowledge is fresh, and there's always an experienced dentist watching over.
	11:13pm iҜ乇: @headcleaner, thanks, good tip! @Sam, I've always meant to watch that, and maybe I'll finally do it now that I have HBOMax, assuming it's on there.
	11:14pm Constantly Choking: Canada has you guys beat for general healthcare, but unless you have insurance you still have to pay out of pocket for dental here...though by the sounds of it, it's not as predatory and exploitative.....
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: Ike, ironically i am none of those. i'm a punkass fool.
	11:14pm Sam Segal: @Ike, I'm pretty sure it is on HBO Max.
	11:15pm Chris Farrell 🥧: Talked a foundation about my UBI project today. #dreams
	11:15pm Sam Segal: Part of me wonders if some dental providers are trying to make up for income they lost during the worst stage of the pandemic, when nobody was going in for routine care or more expensive surgeries.
	11:16pm iҜ乇: @CC, are there Americans constantly trying to catfish you Canadians on dating apps so they can get married and move up there for that famous general healthcare? If not, there will be.
	11:17pm headcleaner: coel∅ - the care I got at NYU Langone was quite good in fact - but at a certain other local school (which I won't name), where I also generally got good care... I had someone give me a spurious recommendation to pull out an incisor (that's one of your very front teeth!) when it definitely did not need to be (i.e. the student dentist was dead wrong on that one). So you have to keep your eyes open and get 2nd recs for anything that sounds iffy and or ... painful
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: one strategy i use that may or may not work is when i go to a new dentist the first thing i say is "i wont be getting any root canals so don't tell me if you think about recommending one." so far (and i go to a different dentist every time i go to one) i've never had crazy shit recommended, despite vertical abrasion, never flossing, and my roots growing into my sinuses and my jaw.
	11:19pm Constantly Choking: @Ike Are you implying when AtlantaGal69 proposed to me she had ulterior motives?
	11:19pm doctorjazz: Dolphy, good timing on my part. Hi Sam and Riders!
	11:21pm Chris Farrell 🥧: “Well down at the bottom of that lazy old river, down where the reeds and the catfish play.”- Towns Van Zandt’s song “The Catfish Song” #dating from a guy who doesn’t like the system using a hashtag to relate to the kids
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: headcleaner yeah it's always possible. - but then last winter an experienced dentist in a busy office with other healthcare providers dropped the adhesive down my throat - and presumably never knew, despite my intense gagging. so, aside from poisoning me (i did get seriously ill a few weeks later...maybe related, maybe not) the filling came out within hours.
	11:24pm headcleaner: coel∅ - then again, sometimes you just need a root canal
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: there are times a root canal makes sense but it's rare. they like doing them. lots of money. it's like c-section delivery in that way.
	11:27pm iҜ乇: @CC LOL LOL... watch out for SyracuseHotBeeyatch420 and DetroitWhamBam4U as well!
	11:29pm Sam Segal: Welcome, Jazz Doctor!
	11:30pm headcleaner: I think the scams to watch our for are stuff like invis-align (straightening) and aggressive whitening techniques (where they bring you down to a whiteness level way below the medium). (Not that invis-align is intrinsically a scam, just that ... ya probably don't really need it)
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: hey dr. j! one of the Good doctors! (at least, i'd put money on that)
	11:32pm Constantly Choking: Ike my heart is breaking....at least I know M0scowM1lf loves me for me
	11:34pm iҜ乇: @CC, someday I'll meet the Moscow MILF of my dreams. Maybe I'll go on the NBC series MILF Island to find her. Yes, I know MILF Island was a joke on 30 Rock and not a real show, but it's coming sooner or later, just you wait.
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: yeah i was quite surprised when i was being drilled to see the dentists last time around and so many of the questions were about whiteness, straightness, my smile, my breath... i's like " i don't give a crap, i just want to be able to chew food for as many years as possible"
	11:35pm iҜ乇: (I'm so proud of myself that I managed to tie together the subjects of Canadian health care and sitcoms in one comment! I'm not a punk-ass fool after all!)
	11:36pm Pie: All my digital antics will be blamed on Spencer and Jones. Any success of adulation or grandiosity will taken 💯 by Chris Farrell and everything else will be left to fantasy. - The last will and testament of Hopkins High School
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: nah Ike that wont disqualify you!
	11:38pm doctorjazz: Also really like Uri Caine!
	11:40pm Sam Segal: He's great! That album is all compositions by Polish pianist Władysław Szpilman (famous nowadays as the subject of the Polanski film "The Pianist").
	11:44pm doctorjazz: Have to check that out!
	11:46pm Pie: I’ll Google it. Last comment for the night out of symbolic gesture.
	11:47pm ifny: @Sam Segal - delectable show as per usual! Thank you for playing all the hits...er....hitting all the plays! I look forward to listening to the whole hitting thing from the archive to savour it all over again.
	11:48pm headcleaner: nice work, Sam. I had an iffy day today so these past 2 hours have made for an agreeable wind-down
	11:49pm Sam Segal: Thanks for hitting "Post comment" on that kind comment, ifny!
	11:50pm doctorjazz: In and out, meditation time, will listen to what I missed tomorrow. Thanks, Sam!
	11:50pm Sam Segal: @headcleaner, always happy to provide a bit of balm at the end of the day...been a bit of a long one for me too. Thanks again for all the dental advice as well.
	11:51pm ifny: You're welcome Sam! It was easy, just a few fingers working together in solidarity.
	11:51pm Sam Segal: Enjoy the breathing and sitting, Doc!
	11:51pm ifny: Reading the comment board backscroll. I say a WFMU dating app is long overdue. Think of all the whirlwind health care romances it would spawn!
	11:52pm zzz: this (enough time) is a nice track
	11:54pm ifny: "Woof <3 Moo" - is that a terrible name for a killer app? Or "True Woof 4 Moo"?
	🥁 11:54pm WR: I thought this is the WFMU dating app...
	11:54pm ifny: @W R fair point.
	11:55pm Constantly Choking: Thanks so much Sam, always a musical ride of the utmost quality! I'm gonna finish a painting in the next hour or so, something that only happens once a month or less, so I'm grateful for the soundtrack to my final nitpicks. <3 everyone, see you on Plentyoffishbutnohorses.com
	11:59pm rw: Thank you Sam. Dreamy.
	12:02am coelacanth∅: Thanks Sam!
	12:02am zzz: thanks for the show tonight!
	12:03am coelacanth∅: lambda sond reminds me i haven't seen LambdaCalculus in quite some time...
	🥁 12:03am WR: Thank you Sam and streamer dreamers.
	12:05am Pie: Them hangovers, I tell ya. Thank god it’s morning, a new day, got a clean bill of health and oh look I have an appointment.
	12:15am chresti: Thanks Sam!

	11:02pm Sam Segal: The deeper reason I am suspicious of my dentist is that they recently recommended a gum surgery that would cost me $10,000 out-of-pocket. I have a bit of a gum recession issue, but I seriously doubt I am in bad enough shape to justify a ten-grand surgery!
	11:03pm Pie: (Slowly stand up and does the black power symbol)
	11:03pm Pie: *Stand(s)
	11:03pm Sam Segal: @headcleaner, I will actually follow up with you on that. Thank you!
	11:04pm Sam Segal: Howdy, hello, and welcome, Coel!
	11:04pm headcleaner: I always get 2nd and 3rd opinions for anything in that price category, Sam -- and for that matter anything painful-sounding and/or invasive. I've actually been around the block dental-care wise + will be happy to share my recs with you
	11:05pm Sam Segal: Very much appreciated, headcleaner.
	11:06pm headcleaner: not your usual samba, by any stretch
	11:06pm chresti: We have a friend that had all his teeth pulled out rather than pay $$$$$ for dental work.
	11:06pm Sam Segal: WR, I finally found your samba!
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: Sam, my mother just got taken for a $10,000 ride. she was 85 years old when the process started (87 now). i guess her dentist figured he better move on it.
	11:07pm Sam Segal: Wow, Chresti, we really do live in a stupid and cruel country.
	11:08pm Sam Segal: I'm sorry to hear that, coel. Due to my midwestern naivete, I never realized until recently that there are so many crook dentists out there!
	11:08pm headcleaner: sad to hear your friend took that route, chresti. teeth are mega-important - not just for obvious reasons, but for the whole digestive + immune system. that's why I don't she crocodile tears about the 20k or so bill for some work I've had done recently.
	11:08pm Sam Segal: Not to disparage the profession, if any of you work in the dental field!
	🥁 11:09pm WR: thanks Sam, i wondered where I had left it.
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: most doctors... auto mechanics, internet companies, publishers, pharmaceutical companies. . . . .
	11:10pm I k e: Hot take: the 90s sitcom totem pole: Early Simpsons (brilliant) > Red Dwarf (awesomely weird British sci-fi comedy) > Futurama (good) > ummm maybe Just Shoot Me and Drew Carey (OK) > Seinfeld (overrated) > Friends (wildly overrated) > all the garbage that came on in the protected timeslots after Seinfeld and Friends, except Just Shoot Me. I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i've thought about moving to a civilized country.
	11:11pm headcleaner: And to everyone within the sound of my voice: There are these things known as "teaching schools", that can be a life-saver to anyone needing dental work but short on cash. They don't generally advertise, and the bureaucracy can be a minor nightmare to deal with -- but they can save your financial skin (as well as your teeth), if you wind up in a bad spot. Specifically here in Gotham we have NYU Langone -- again, they're not fun to deal with at the bureaucracy level -- but they will get the job done (and done quite well) at a reasonable cost.
	11:11pm Chris Farrell 🥧: 🌎
	11:12pm I k e: @coel, Canada won't accept most of us. They probably think we're punks, or fools, or maybe fool-ass punks.
	11:13pm Sam Segal: @Ike, I confess, I am a lover of the sitcom "Seinfeld," less of a fan of Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up. But I'd like to nominate The Larry Sanders Show for inclusion toward the top of your list.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: i think one probably gets better care at a school than an established office, generally. they're trying harder, the knowledge is fresh, and there's always an experienced dentist watching over.
	11:13pm iҜ乇: @headcleaner, thanks, good tip! @Sam, I've always meant to watch that, and maybe I'll finally do it now that I have HBOMax, assuming it's on there.
	11:14pm Constantly Choking: Canada has you guys beat for general healthcare, but unless you have insurance you still have to pay out of pocket for dental here...though by the sounds of it, it's not as predatory and exploitative.....
	11:14pm coelacanth∅: Ike, ironically i am none of those. i'm a punkass fool.
	11:14pm Sam Segal: @Ike, I'm pretty sure it is on HBO Max.
	11:15pm Chris Farrell 🥧: Talked a foundation about my UBI project today. #dreams
	11:15pm Sam Segal: Part of me wonders if some dental providers are trying to make up for income they lost during the worst stage of the pandemic, when nobody was going in for routine care or more expensive surgeries.
	11:16pm iҜ乇: @CC, are there Americans constantly trying to catfish you Canadians on dating apps so they can get married and move up there for that famous general healthcare? If not, there will be.
	11:17pm headcleaner: coel∅ - the care I got at NYU Langone was quite good in fact - but at a certain other local school (which I won't name), where I also generally got good care... I had someone give me a spurious recommendation to pull out an incisor (that's one of your very front teeth!) when it definitely did not need to be (i.e. the student dentist was dead wrong on that one). So you have to keep your eyes open and get 2nd recs for anything that sounds iffy and or ... painful
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: one strategy i use that may or may not work is when i go to a new dentist the first thing i say is "i wont be getting any root canals so don't tell me if you think about recommending one." so far (and i go to a different dentist every time i go to one) i've never had crazy shit recommended, despite vertical abrasion, never flossing, and my roots growing into my sinuses and my jaw.
	11:19pm Constantly Choking: @Ike Are you implying when AtlantaGal69 proposed to me she had ulterior motives?
	11:19pm doctorjazz: Dolphy, good timing on my part. Hi Sam and Riders!
	11:21pm Chris Farrell 🥧: “Well down at the bottom of that lazy old river, down where the reeds and the catfish play.”- Towns Van Zandt’s song “The Catfish Song” #dating from a guy who doesn’t like the system using a hashtag to relate to the kids
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: headcleaner yeah it's always possible. - but then last winter an experienced dentist in a busy office with other healthcare providers dropped the adhesive down my throat - and presumably never knew, despite my intense gagging. so, aside from poisoning me (i did get seriously ill a few weeks later...maybe related, maybe not) the filling came out within hours.
	11:24pm headcleaner: coel∅ - then again, sometimes you just need a root canal
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: there are times a root canal makes sense but it's rare. they like doing them. lots of money. it's like c-section delivery in that way.
	11:27pm iҜ乇: @CC LOL LOL... watch out for SyracuseHotBeeyatch420 and DetroitWhamBam4U as well!
	11:29pm Sam Segal: Welcome, Jazz Doctor!
	11:30pm headcleaner: I think the scams to watch our for are stuff like invis-align (straightening) and aggressive whitening techniques (where they bring you down to a whiteness level way below the medium). (Not that invis-align is intrinsically a scam, just that ... ya probably don't really need it)
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: hey dr. j! one of the Good doctors! (at least, i'd put money on that)
	11:32pm Constantly Choking: Ike my heart is breaking....at least I know M0scowM1lf loves me for me
	11:34pm iҜ乇: @CC, someday I'll meet the Moscow MILF of my dreams. Maybe I'll go on the NBC series MILF Island to find her. Yes, I know MILF Island was a joke on 30 Rock and not a real show, but it's coming sooner or later, just you wait.
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: yeah i was quite surprised when i was being drilled to see the dentists last time around and so many of the questions were about whiteness, straightness, my smile, my breath... i's like " i don't give a crap, i just want to be able to chew food for as many years as possible"
	11:35pm iҜ乇: (I'm so proud of myself that I managed to tie together the subjects of Canadian health care and sitcoms in one comment! I'm not a punk-ass fool after all!)
	11:36pm Pie: All my digital antics will be blamed on Spencer and Jones. Any success of adulation or grandiosity will taken 💯 by Chris Farrell and everything else will be left to fantasy. - The last will and testament of Hopkins High School
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: nah Ike that wont disqualify you!
	11:38pm doctorjazz: Also really like Uri Caine!
	11:40pm Sam Segal: He's great! That album is all compositions by Polish pianist Władysław Szpilman (famous nowadays as the subject of the Polanski film "The Pianist").
	11:44pm doctorjazz: Have to check that out!
	11:46pm Pie: I’ll Google it. Last comment for the night out of symbolic gesture.
	11:47pm ifny: @Sam Segal - delectable show as per usual! Thank you for playing all the hits...er....hitting all the plays! I look forward to listening to the whole hitting thing from the archive to savour it all over again.
	11:48pm headcleaner: nice work, Sam. I had an iffy day today so these past 2 hours have made for an agreeable wind-down
	11:49pm Sam Segal: Thanks for hitting "Post comment" on that kind comment, ifny!
	11:50pm doctorjazz: In and out, meditation time, will listen to what I missed tomorrow. Thanks, Sam!
	11:50pm Sam Segal: @headcleaner, always happy to provide a bit of balm at the end of the day...been a bit of a long one for me too. Thanks again for all the dental advice as well.
	11:51pm ifny: You're welcome Sam! It was easy, just a few fingers working together in solidarity.
	11:51pm Sam Segal: Enjoy the breathing and sitting, Doc!
	11:51pm ifny: Reading the comment board backscroll. I say a WFMU dating app is long overdue. Think of all the whirlwind health care romances it would spawn!
	11:52pm zzz: this (enough time) is a nice track
	11:54pm ifny: "Woof <3 Moo" - is that a terrible name for a killer app? Or "True Woof 4 Moo"?
	🥁 11:54pm WR: I thought this is the WFMU dating app...
	11:54pm ifny: @W R fair point.
	11:55pm Constantly Choking: Thanks so much Sam, always a musical ride of the utmost quality! I'm gonna finish a painting in the next hour or so, something that only happens once a month or less, so I'm grateful for the soundtrack to my final nitpicks. <3 everyone, see you on Plentyoffishbutnohorses.com
	11:59pm rw: Thank you Sam. Dreamy.
	12:02am coelacanth∅: Thanks Sam!
	12:02am zzz: thanks for the show tonight!
	12:03am coelacanth∅: lambda sond reminds me i haven't seen LambdaCalculus in quite some time...
	🥁 12:03am WR: Thank you Sam and streamer dreamers.
	12:05am Pie: Them hangovers, I tell ya. Thank god it’s morning, a new day, got a clean bill of health and oh look I have an appointment.
	12:15am chresti: Thanks Sam!
