	8:00pm Krys O.: WR: It' won't be conventional in any way. :)
	👻 8:00pm Mr Fab: merry Krys-mas, all!
	8:01pm Krys O.: Speaking of googly eyes. Check out the Xmas Gourd. My dad loved that thing.
	8:02pm HyperDose: Been waiting for this show for a full 24hrs!!!
	8:03pm Scott67: G'day Krys & Wiggleworthy! 👍😎👣🐾🎶📻🌏
	8:03pm Krys O.: Hello, all!
	8:03pm spodiodi: aloHOHOha, Krys O! wigglaz!
	8:04pm Feldy: Did James brown improvise these lyrics
	8:05pm Krys O.: @Feldy: James Brown's Xmas albums are my favorite. Of course he improvised.
	8:07pm steveo: Ahoy!
	8:08pm Feldy: I love it! and the Pee Wee lead-in
	8:08pm Krys O.: Hay-o!
	8:10pm steveo: Yaho(o)!
	👻 8:10pm austinrich: I have one "holiday" tune for my show, but my "xmas" show is next week.
	8:10pm Otis: Big Fresh, Yes!
	👻 8:11pm Mr Fab: Quite the Beach Boy pastiche there.
	👻 8:13pm austinrich: Can't go wrong with People Like Us.
	8:14pm Krys O.: That's the truth, Austin. @Mr. Fab: Big Fresh are big Beach Boys fans.
	👻 8:16pm austinrich: One of my favorite interviews I did was with Vicki for my old podcast. She's so much fun, and it's contagious.
	👻 8:16pm austinrich: Ooooo! The new toys are here!
	8:16pm Scott67: Did someone say Land Rover!? 👍😎💕
	8:16pm Krys O.: I second that.
	8:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: It slices! It dices! It wiggles! Hello!
	8:17pm Krys O.: Howdy!
	8:17pm HyperDose: @Scott I thought you lived in a VW bus by the river, not a Land Rover
	👻 8:18pm austinrich: For me, in Oregon, it wasn't Christmas until the holiday themed Tom Peterson's commercials came on. (He sold home appliances in PDX.) Tom's commercials were ridiculous and great, and always featured some holiday music in the background. I found a bunch a few years ago on YouTube.
	👻 8:18pm Mr Fab: Austin, Sheena's is squatting on the old People Like Us reruns channel.
	8:19pm Scott67: The VW Van was then mate. My Land Rover is home away from home now. 👍😎🌄
	👻 8:19pm austinrich: That totally make's sense. Did this start out as the place for her Slow Radio Project?
	8:20pm Krys O.: It was Do or DIY.
	👻 8:20pm Mr Fab: first, it was reruns of her "Do or DIY" show, then her "Radio Boredcast" project.
	8:21pm Krys O.: Ah, right.
	👻 8:21pm austinrich: Boredcast, that was it!
	👻 8:22pm austinrich: Well, I hope PLU doesn't mind the squatters. We're just here to play some records and hang out. Hope that's cool?
	👻 8:23pm Mr Fab: I guess she's ok with it - she did a guest mix for us last year.
	👻 8:24pm austinrich: We promise not to break any windows or destroy the plumbing. But we might re-paint here and there?
	8:31pm steveo: Our parents had it easy. My kids don't watch TV and don't ask for much.... Yay, happy solstice. Just one more week to go.
	8:31pm Krys O.: Can't wait!
	👻 8:32pm austinrich: Great show, @Krys! I'm still getting sorted for mine, and this is a great soundtrack.
	8:32pm Krys O.: Thanks kindly, Austin. Much obliged.
	8:38pm spodiodi: Bill Murray FTW!
	👻 8:38pm Mr Fab: every year i get kinda perturbed that no one plays songs about winter after xmas, even as winter is only just beginning. "Jingle Bells," "Winter Wonderland," etc - they're not about Christmas!
	8:38pm spodiodi: have always loved K-K-K-Katy
	👻 8:39pm WR: Kris, the Ralph Carney Bandcamp link got munged. ralphcarney.bandcamp.com...
	👻 8:41pm austinrich: I used to do "winter" shows in Feb, but I often forget.
	8:42pm Krys O.: Thanks, WR. It was an html error. Fixed it.
	👻 8:44pm austinrich: "Wiggle It. Just a Little Bit." Wiggle Room Slogan.
	👻 8:45pm austinrich: Bob & Ray AND Firesign in the same show? This is like something from one of my cut-ups.
	8:46pm Krys O.: B&R and FT loomed large in my childhood being raised by older hippie siblings.
	8:47pm Krys O.: I ran home from school to listen to Bob & Ray on WOR in the 70s. I wrote to them and got an autographed photo of The Two & Only in return.
	👻 8:48pm austinrich: That's so cool! I found them in thrift stores, record hunting while friends were looking for clothes (or something similar). But they seemed like magical discoveries.
	👻 8:49pm Mr Fab: that was Barry White for K-Mart.
	👻 8:50pm WR: I heard a bit from the Bob & Ray records but haven't ever searched out any air checks. That clip you played seemed more lively than what I recall from listening to their records, but I was a young punk then....
	8:51pm David in California: I was introduced to B&R by a high school drama teacher who liked to re-enact Slow Talkers of America.
	8:51pm spodiodi: i'm so blue light special
	👻 8:52pm austinrich: Somehow, you make the Kmart Christmas tape eerie.
	8:52pm Krys O.: @WR: Their radio shows were edgy and surreal, yet they could appealed to my parents.
	8:52pm Krys O.: We had Korvettes in my hometown. I think K-mart came in when that closed.
	👻 8:53pm austinrich: I was always blown away that there were four (or more!) characters, and there were just two of them doing the voices. And often they would improvise, too! So wild. I remember when Don Joyce did a whole show of Bob and Ray I felt vindicated in liking them.
	8:54pm Krys O.: I had books of the scripts and their voices were in my head while reading.
	8:55pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): You may experience a momentary commenting delay just now...
	8:55pm Krys O.: Okeedokes.
	8:56pm spodiodi: fun show! thanks, Krys O!
	8:56pm Scott67: Thanks for dropping in Krys! ✌😎🌷
	👻 8:59pm Mr Fab: Simply had a wonderful christmas show, have a holly jolly one, Krys.
	8:59pm HyperDose: Thanks for another wild adventure, Krys!
	8:59pm Scott67: Thanks for dropping in Krys! ✌😎🌷
	8:59pm spodiodi: love the Xmas Gourd!
	8:59pm steveo: Lotsa fun, thanks for the show!
	8:59pm Otis: Cheers and thanks for the magical holiday moments this evening Krys!
	9:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Krys. Fun!
	9:00pm AndrewBunny: Well, hallllooooo Austin!
	👻 9:00pm WR: Fun episode Krys, thank you! I must say, I have found that "Xmas Gourd" beast disturbing. Will report back if I have any nightmares referencing it. Thank you!
	9:00pm Krys O.: Thanks for tuning in and commenting!
	9:00pm Four Dimensional: Hey
	9:03pm AndrewBunny: Holidays, salad days, and even moldy mayonnaise.
	9:33pm AndrewBunny: Great ambience here, Austin!
