	7:57pm Krys O.: Howdy, all! Pardon my indulgence, but I wanted to share the music I loved from the early days of Sesame Street.
	7:58pm Krys O.: Indeed he was.
	8:00pm HyperDose: Ready to wiggle with you, Krys and Austin!
	8:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi, Krys, folks!

	👻 8:01pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Mr. Fab and Aitch!
	8:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Krys, indulge away. Sesame Street was awesome! As was the Electric Company. And Zoom.

	👻 8:03pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Scott67! Wow. I'm having serious flashbacks to my youth. Thanks Krys O!
	8:03pm Krys O.: Hello, Aitch and Scott!
	8:04pm Hoboken Jack: Go go Krys O!!
	8:04pm Pauly from Clifton: G'day, Scott! I hope your Wednesday is not as cold and rainy as it is here in DC on Tuesday night. Love the avatar!
	8:04pm Webhamster Henry: We all love Trash.
	8:05pm Krys O.: Hey, Jack and Henry!
	8:05pm Kat in Chicago: Roosevelt Franklin!
	8:05pm Pauly from Clifton: Roosevelt Franklin was the coolest.
	8:05pm Krys O.: Hi, Kat!
	8:06pm Kat in Chicago: Hi, Krys!
	8:06pm David in California: Pauly, fellow Electric Company fan here. I enjoyed hearing Tom Lehrer sing "Silent E".
	👻 8:07pm Austin Rich: Tom Lehrer is the best.
	8:08pm Krys O.: Oh, yeah. I loved Electric Company too. PBS was funky.
	👻 8:09pm Austin Rich: We didn't realize how good we had it! I was doing some child care, and the kids shows on now are awful. I used played re-runs on OG Sesame Street & Mr. Rogers, and told the Kid the TV was broken.
	8:10pm Krys O.: Ha! Austin that's great.
	8:10pm HyperDose: Come on Grover, give us some soul!
	👻 8:10pm Mr Fab: I certainly appreciated the music a lot more when I got older. Never owned a Sesame St album til I was in my 20s.
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: "Bubble Guppies." As near as I could figure, it was a show that taught kids how they needed to go shopping for clothes. (Which was the plot of most episodes, for some reason.)
	8:12pm Krys O.: @Austin: I can't help but think of the band Bubble Puppy who had the underground hit, Hot Smoke & Sassafras.
	8:12pm Kat in Chicago: Brought to you by... CAPITALISM! Sounds awful, Austin.
	8:12pm Webhamster Henry: "It's ... the ... Plumber! I've come to fix the sink!:
	8:12pm Krys O.: LOl! Yes, Henry! I used to do that skit for my mom to make her laugh.
	8:13pm Krys O.: Lena just kills me no matter what she does.
	8:14pm Webhamster Henry: I heard Mabel Mercer doing "It's Not Easy Being Green"
	8:14pm David in California: I also liked "Happy birthday, Miss Jones. You sure have nice...bones" "Well, that was certainly different."
	8:14pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Scott67 and HyperDose!
	👻 8:14pm Mr Fab: I was grateful for "Yo Gabba Gabba" when Li'l Fab was a toddler. Brought to you by Amoeba Records clerk, DJ Lance Rock.
	8:15pm Scott67: G'day Pauly, mild day here mate 20 Celsius. Thanks, I miss TRASH CULT so much, I drew my own TRASH COPY version of the Logo yesterday. Then put it up to remind me, while TRASH CULT Store is closed, I should be getting the Show sorted out. 👍😎🍻💨🌞🍺
	8:15pm Krys O.: Hello, David in California.
	👻 8:15pm Mr Fab: I saw Ray Charles sing "Bein' Green" at the Hollywood Bowl. Wasn't expecting that.
	👻 8:16pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I've heard Yo Gabba Gabba was gold. I need to look at that the next time I'm childsitting.
	8:17pm David in California: Hello, Krys O. I'm enjoying the show.
	8:17pm HyperDose: Good evening, Hoboken Jack™!
	8:18pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hi, Krys O.! Thanks for taking us on a tour of Sesame Street!!! Hey, folx!
	8:18pm HyperDose: @Austin Yo Gabba Gabba had cool musical guests like this: www.youtube.com...
	8:19pm Krys O.: Hey, Baba xxx
	👻 8:19pm Mr Fab: and art lessons by Mark Mothersbaugh
	8:19pm Scott67: G'day Austin, sorry I was eating! 👍😎
	8:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Saw that amazing doc "Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street" and it bleeeeewwwwww my miyeeeeend!
	8:20pm Krys O.: Need to see that, Baba. Thanks for the tip.
	8:20pm Scott67: G'day Jack! 👍😎
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: Ha! I never realized this as a kid, but they are the same song!
	8:21pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Joe Raposo is basically responsible for almost every song I've ever loved
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: He's like the Wesley Willis of Sesame Street.
	8:22pm Aitch: Sesame St probably the first thing that made me want to visit NYC. Confirmed later by CBGB bands.
	8:23pm Krys O.: And Raposo would appear in skits too. He was married to a local NYC TV film critic, Pat Collins.
	👻 8:23pm Austin Rich: I don't think I ever knew who he was, but now I realize how influential he was on me! I feel like these songs are in my DNA.
	👻 8:24pm Mr Fab: hey Baba! Wasn't familiar with that film, but of course, now gotta see it. I did see a museum exhibit about Jim Henson and that was def a mind-blower. Such an imagination. Too bad his space-age disco was never realized.
	👻 8:25pm Austin Rich: Oh yeah, I wanna see that Sesame Street doc! One of these days...
	👻 8:26pm Austin Rich: My old gay roommate used to ask me, "What do you do with a fruit," and I now realize what he was referencing!
	8:26pm Webhamster Henry: Raposo also composed songs for a version of Brecht's A Man's A Man with Eric Bentley, available on Folkways. folkways.si.edu...
	8:26pm Kat in Chicago: Craving a nectarine now!
	8:27pm Krys O.: Frank Oz came into the record store I worked at in the 80s. I heard his voice before I saw him. I was so dumbfounded that I couldn't speak. I didn't normally get that way with anyone else I encountered. This was entirely different.
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: It would be hard to not recognize Frank Oz by his voice. Ken Kesey came into my old bookstore in the early 90's, and I didn't recognize him until I asked for ID, as he was paying with a check. (Our policy then was to check ID.) Then I felt a little silly.
	👻 8:29pm Mr Fab: Which of his characters did he sound like, Krys? I was like that when Gary Owens came into a record store. I recognized his voice from across the room before I saw him.
	8:29pm Krys O.: Oof, Austin.
	👻 8:29pm Austin Rich: You met Gary Owens, Mr. Fab? I'm Pretty jealous.
	8:30pm Krys O.: He sounded first and foremost like Grover.
	8:30pm Webhamster Henry: This episode of "Wiggle Room" is brought to you by the letter "O'.
	8:30pm Krys O.: Tee hee, Henry!
	8:31pm HyperDose: Great mic break!
	👻 8:32pm Austin Rich: I'm super in love with this episode, Krys O! Well done.
	👻 8:32pm Mr Fab: He really sounded like Grover?! Haha, would not have expected anyone to actually sound like that.
	8:32pm Krys O.: Thanks, HD. My older hipper siblings recognized Rosko's voice from the radio.
	8:33pm Krys O.: Grover being low-key and soft spoken.
	8:34pm Krys O.: That's so kind of you, Austin. I'm humbled.
	8:34pm Aitch: Love Grover.
	8:34pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi, David in California! Sorry...finishing up cooking. Like Krys said, "PBS was funky". A main source of entertainment being a latchkey kid.
	👻 8:34pm Austin Rich: In my defense (re: Mr. Kesey), while I worked in a bookstore, I don't think I'd ever seen what he looked like. And he seemed amused that some kid who was no more than 20 didn't immediately recognize him, and then started getting excited. He was a local in Eugene, so I think I was the last to meet him in person.
	8:35pm HyperDose: What's cookin, Pauly?
	👻 8:36pm Austin Rich: True story: my wife and I used the Italian version of "Mahna nah" as our exit music at our wedding.
	8:37pm HyperDose: These are the kind of nonsensical songs I sing in my head
	8:37pm Krys O.: Wunnerful, Austin.
	8:37pm Pauly from Clifton: Finishing a lentil soup and deconstructed stuffed cabbage as I don't have my mother's patience of making a tight "gołąbek".
	8:39pm Krys O.: Yup, they're labor intensive, Pauly. I used to help my mom.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: I Love Ken.
	8:40pm Krys O.: Yeah, Ken Nordine seemed like he was going to last forever.
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: I mean, he really did try.
	8:41pm HyperDose: Of all the lunch meats HAM? The disrespect!
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: I need to get back to re-listening to all of his old radio shows. They were truly magical.
	8:41pm Aitch: steamed ham?
	8:42pm Webhamster Henry: @Austin wearing your Levis.
	8:43pm Obadiah Baird: Hello all.
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you, Obadiah!
	8:45pm Webhamster Henry: I was a little old for it, but I had younger brothers and loved the weird animation.
	8:45pm Krys O.: Hello, Obadiah!
	👻 8:46pm Austin Rich: I'm a big younger, too, so to me Telly is the new monster.
	8:46pm Krys O.: I understand that, Henry.
	8:47pm HyperDose: Good evening, Obadiah!
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: I forgot how cool that weird electronic music on "three."
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: electronic music was on...
	8:48pm Obadiah Baird: I remember when nobody believed Snuffaluffagus existed and they all thought big bird made him up, that seemed like a delineating event when he became concensus reality.
	8:49pm Krys O.: My parents watched Sesame Street when they took care of my nephew in the early 80s. Elmo was their favorite character. In fact, my parents named a pet rooster Elmo.
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I don't know about this "he's real" stuff. Snuffy was Bird's imaginary friend.
	8:49pm Krys O.: True, Obadiah. It was a sea change in perception.
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: that was a good doc film, about the voice actor who basically created Elmo. Tragic, tho.
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: I haven't seen it yet, Mr. Fab. Maybe I need to do a double feature, with that and "Street Gang."
	8:51pm Webhamster Henry: Ken Nordine and blorpy synths: great combo.
	8:52pm Webhamster Henry: There's also "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story"
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I forgot about that Caroll Spinney movie, too. That would be a long day, but you could marathon it.
	8:54pm Krys O.: I believe there is a Jim Henson doc in the works.
	8:54pm Schnall: I just had my farewell zoom with one of the two crews I’ve been working with at Sesame this evening; this show’s bringing up all sorts of feels.
	8:55pm Krys O.: WOW, Schnall!
	8:55pm Schnall: I just had my farewell zoom with one of the two crews I’ve been working with at Sesame this evening; this show’s bringing up all sorts of feels.
	8:56pm Krys O.: Ron Howard is working on the Henson documentary.
	8:56pm HyperDose: This is making my rose petal covered apricot filled nougat treat from the Turkish market even more enjoyable
	8:57pm David in California: Thank you, Krys O.
	👻 8:57pm Austin Rich: This has been a great Wiggle this week, Krys! Thanks!
	8:57pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks so much, Krys! What a sensational show!
	8:57pm Kat in Chicago: Wonderful, Krys!
	8:57pm HyperDose: omg there's nuts too. I believe they symbolize all of the hidden treats that were sprinkled throughout the show. Thanks, Krys. Pleasure as always. :)
	👻 8:58pm Mr Fab: WONDERFUL show, thanks Krys!
	8:58pm Scott67: Thanks Krys! ✌😎🌷
	8:58pm Webhamster Henry: That was fun! And: EDUCATIONAL!
	8:58pm drowsy: Thanks for the show!
	8:58pm Krys O.: Thank you, everyone! I'm so glad you were all so kind to be here. Here's the link to Mid-Valley Mutations next: wfmu.org...
	👻 8:59pm Mr Fab: I feeling pretty good on my numbers now.
	8:59pm Webhamster Henry: I do 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,dek,ell.

	8:41pm Aitch: steamed ham?
	8:42pm Webhamster Henry: @Austin wearing your Levis.
	8:43pm Obadiah Baird: Hello all.
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you, Obadiah!
	8:45pm Webhamster Henry: I was a little old for it, but I had younger brothers and loved the weird animation.
	8:45pm Krys O.: Hello, Obadiah!
	👻 8:46pm Austin Rich: I'm a big younger, too, so to me Telly is the new monster.
	8:46pm Krys O.: I understand that, Henry.
	8:47pm HyperDose: Good evening, Obadiah!
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: I forgot how cool that weird electronic music on "three."
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: electronic music was on...
	8:48pm Obadiah Baird: I remember when nobody believed Snuffaluffagus existed and they all thought big bird made him up, that seemed like a delineating event when he became concensus reality.
	8:49pm Krys O.: My parents watched Sesame Street when they took care of my nephew in the early 80s. Elmo was their favorite character. In fact, my parents named a pet rooster Elmo.
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I don't know about this "he's real" stuff. Snuffy was Bird's imaginary friend.
	8:49pm Krys O.: True, Obadiah. It was a sea change in perception.
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: that was a good doc film, about the voice actor who basically created Elmo. Tragic, tho.
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: I haven't seen it yet, Mr. Fab. Maybe I need to do a double feature, with that and "Street Gang."
	8:51pm Webhamster Henry: Ken Nordine and blorpy synths: great combo.
	8:52pm Webhamster Henry: There's also "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story"
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I forgot about that Caroll Spinney movie, too. That would be a long day, but you could marathon it.
	8:54pm Krys O.: I believe there is a Jim Henson doc in the works.
	8:54pm Schnall: I just had my farewell zoom with one of the two crews I’ve been working with at Sesame this evening; this show’s bringing up all sorts of feels.

	8:55pm Schnall: I just had my farewell zoom with one of the two crews I’ve been working with at Sesame this evening; this show’s bringing up all sorts of feels.
