	3:33pm Jon: Every time I hear Gus Bodenheim on here I remember the time you played his commercial for "Hardly Hamster" lol. I thought that was very funny 8-)

	3:36pm P-90: Nanook Goldstein Esq did my cousin Guido’s divorce

	👻 3:43pm Gregosaurus: I, for one, am ready for the onslaught of GusTube™
	👻 3:44pm Dan S: ↳ Paul with a P @3:39 I have an ex-girlfriend who attended that college. I think she said that back then it was still a branch of Hofstra. Or was it Adelphi? My memory fades.
	3:44pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Paul with a P @3:40 Nice looking buildings but nobody around’
	3:45pm Paul with a P: ↳ Dan S @3:44 it was dowling college, and as far as i know was its own entity--HEY WAIT DID YOU DATE MY SISTER?!
	3:45pm Hubig Pie: Has the Stairway to Hoboken been replaced with a funicular?
	👻 3:49pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:45 Stairway to Hoboken is my favorite song by Zinc Dirigible
	👻 3:49pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:45 Sorta. I think that's where the elevator to the light rail is now.
	3:51pm Irwin: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:45 I'm trying to figure out where those stairsteps were. And what's there now.
	3:52pm HyperDose: Hot set, Irwin! Not surprising because memory foam retains heat 🔥
	👻 3:52pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Irwin @3:51 Actually, I'm wrong. They're at the bottom of PP Rd. (near 1st st) Tho the replaced them with only 95 steel steps.
	👻 3:53pm Gregosaurus: www.nj.com...
	3:54pm dave miss: Anybody talking about how much Steve Albini hated Steely Dan?
	3:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @3:49 Love Zinc Dirigible! Had their song "Superfluous Amount of Lust" stuck in my head the other day. HI Irwin and Chusidim!
	3:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ dave miss @3:54 Man's taste was impeccable.
	3:55pm robin: there are more than 95! i think its 97. next time you are there, count again for fun
	👻 3:56pm Dan S: ↳ Paul with a P @3:45 No. BTW, I found this about Dowling's history: "In January 1963, Adelphi purchased the former William K. Vanderbilt estate in Oakdale. Adelphi spun the campus off in 1968 as Dowling College, named after city planner and philanthropist Robert W. Dowling, who provided an endowment of over $3 million."
	👻 3:56pm winston legthigh: ↳ Irwin @3:51 are those the stairs from the steven's parking lot on frank sinatra drive to the babbio center?
	3:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:53 Wow, thanks! Good bit of local geography/history/image identification, and a mystery solved! The "Franklin Avenue Steps" - two decades and $1 mill for 95 steps. So each of those steps is worth about $10,000. (Hope people don't snatch them and resell them..)
	👻 3:58pm Dan S: I'm thinking we should start a Gus Bodenheim For President campaign. Here's a campaign slogan: "Gus Bodenheim. He tells it like it is. You just don't have the vocabulary to understand it."
	3:59pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Obliteration" by "Magic Fig" PROGTASTIC!
	3:59pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @3:59 Sorry, didn't mean to shout.
	4:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:59 "PROGTASMIC", even!
	4:03pm spodiodi: greetings, Irwin and all
	4:04pm PaulRobeson1924: You made a great choice, Mr.Irwin
	4:04pm Pol Pot: Could someone please explain Gus Bodenheim? Is he an actor?
	👻 4:04pm rrg: 100 Steps: www.hobokengirl.com...
	4:04pm Matt from Springfield: Evokes "1,001 Arabian Nights" tales to me - "Magic Fig".
	4:04pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:58 All the money went into those twin landings. Think of the $$$'s saved if they would have just built a straight shot.
	4:05pm Mister Dobalina: I love figs! Thanks to the Italian immigrant population that was here in my hood, generations ago. I thank them.
	👻 4:06pm winston legthigh: gus is casting venom straight into your earballs.
	4:06pm spodiodi: there's been a woman selling figs (i think from her yard) for years by the Glen Park Bart station in san francisco. so there's that idea
	4:07pm James Douglas: Gus and RFK Jr too. Explains a lot.
	4:07pm Matt from Springfield: I've heard of earworms but that's too much!
	👻 4:07pm βrian: An earworm unattended can plant itself more deeply.
	4:08pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ James Douglas @4:07 IKR
	4:08pm peter: Robert Kennedy claimed today that they found a worm in his brain
	4:08pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:04 Or just build the funicular - Salzburg has a nice gravity-based one they could replicate.
	👻 4:08pm rrg: Fig and pear jam. I'm not a shill or a toady or a sycophant, merely a satisfied consumer. www.uptontea.com...
	4:10pm Asheville Jon: Irwin: got my "Slouching Towards Bodenheim" the other day. Thanks for putting that together.
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: Though I wonder if Gus would cooperate with the Smithsonian in at least cataloguing his brain's contents. Facts or myths, they're a treasure trove of narrative.
	4:11pm Mister Dobalina: Someone call the Jazz police, 'cause this track is dangerously good !
	4:11pm Laura L: ↳ rrg @4:08 And Irwin makes a delicious fig jam in fig season--little known, but it's a fact!
	👻 4:12pm Dan S: ↳ peter @4:08 Perhaps The Worm Ouroboros.
	4:12pm Listener Robert: I gather from this that Mr. Bodenheim wisely rejects the Sly Weasel "bourbon" they supply gratis to the OC, as well as the Glen Passaic that seems to turn up at the station.
	4:12pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:10 Gus has a well-furnished brain.
	4:13pm Keith in Vermont: ↳ dave miss @3:54 He sure did! I like Steve. And I like Steely Dan. It's all good by me.
	👻 4:13pm rrg: ↳ Laura L @4:11 Yes! I've had some. I turned to this when that ran out.
	4:14pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Have You Met Miss Jones?" by "Enrique Ibarguren T... I was gonna guess this was Just Friends..glad I didn't
	4:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Green Chimneys" by "Randy Weinstein" Sounded like Toots Thielemans on harmonica there.
	4:18pm Fredericks: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:15 A little meatier than Toots to my ear. Toots always struck me as having a thin tone. If thin is the right word.
	4:19pm Irwin: ↳ Fredericks @4:18 Toots is no Huey Lewis.
	👻 4:20pm G: Made it. Was grocery shopping last hour. Would have preferred early morning for that, but too many moving parts today. It’s 93 and humid in New Orleans — no fun schlepping groceries around.
	4:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol 2, Ep 11" by "... Scotch prose!! Any prose is Scotch prose with the right beverage...
	4:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol 2, Ep 11" by "... Grand to come home to this.
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: Johnson railed to Boswell that there was only one tree in all of Scotland, so you'd think Dad could have learned the name.
	4:23pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Koto Song" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" A little belated tribute. 5/4 is Dave Brubeck Remembrance Day.
	4:24pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:58 I used to live in the Heights and took those steps to the 2nd Street light rail regularly. My commute involved a Jersey City -> Hoboken -> Jersey City shuffle
	4:24pm Fredericks: ↳ Irwin @4:19 Or Little Walter.
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:21 Wylcome, 'andy! Prepping a single malt for this? (Though it's now getting too humid for an afternoon Scotch.)
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol 2, Ep 11" by "... ol' gus got nothing on the worldly treasure that is Ivor Cutler
	4:24pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Koto Song" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" Now my day begins
	4:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Ben in Newark @4:24 Over, under, around, and through places?
	4:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:24 For some reason, I'm about to make a sauce. But some sort of cooling concoction is going to have to accompany.
	👻 4:26pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:25 It's good pina colada weather
	4:26pm jan: Koto song- Jazz- I could go for this. And that Ivor Culter piece, not suitable for multitasking. had to stop work, which I hadn't done for Gus, and so could not comprehend. Great show today!
	4:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @4:26 Would love to get caught in the rain right now.
	4:28pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:24 On the plus side, Gus is still around and making new material. I ought to see the full Magical Mystery Tour movie - wasn't Ivor Cutler the bus driver in that? And HEYA!
	4:28pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Irwin!
	4:28pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:25 yup, the only thing missing from the commute was crossing a body of water
	4:28pm Irwin: ↳ jan @4:26 Hola, Jan. Thanks for sticking around for 40+ years.
	👻 4:30pm DjLorraine: Q: since Olivia is on vacation who handles incoming new music? My composer friend just had one performed on utube new music concert. They perform his bizarre creations. Maybe more of Bryce style. He said his percussion quartet is more audience friendly. I asked for a sample of his work. He asked if the station accepts WAV or FLAC. One of them is on mp3 format.
	4:31pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Irwin @4:23 "Take" twenty four, for Dave B.
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:28 yes sadly Ivor has shuffled on from this mortal coil. yes DO see magical mystery tour! it's a great movie. expectedly over the heads of most critics at the time; maybe still?
	4:31pm Laura L: ↳ jan @4:26 I know the phenomenon--got to stop working for the spoken word works; varying degrees of success in stopping.
	4:32pm jan: ↳ Irwin @4:28 where else could I find musical teats so sweat and nourishing?
	4:33pm Irwin: ↳ jan @4:32 You want me to correct that to "treats"? I have that administrative power.
	4:33pm jan: ↳ Laura L @4:31 would you be the Laura L artist?
	4:33pm Irwin: ↳ jan @4:33 Book designer. Yes, she's an artist.
	👻 4:34pm DjLorraine: 8 years ago someone performed one of his pieces in that sound silo.
	👻 4:34pm DjLorraine: I'm not saying it's for everyone
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @4:33 never met a musical teat i didn't like
	4:35pm love2laf: ↳ DjLorraine @4:30 Last I heard intern Myrial (sorry, likely spelling wrong) is Interim Music Director. I don't have the last email from Olivia or Ken with the announcement, so I don't know if they even shared her email.
	4:35pm jan: ↳ Irwin @4:33 Oh, then not the Laura L, I had in mind.
	4:35pm Laura L: The one and the same. And you're Jan the photographer.
	4:36pm Laura L: Ah a different Laura L!
	4:38pm Matt from Springfield: THEE Ike!!
	4:38pm jan: ↳ Laura L @4:35 I am. and I was thinking of a L L photographer. And speaking of not being able to work during the program, the listener comments board stalls all work, and I most often don't read for that reason.
	👻 4:39pm winston legthigh: way to go michael, ken, ike, scott, and max!
	👻 4:39pm DjLorraine: ↳ love2laf @4:35 Thank you
	4:40pm Ochre Ogre: In the '100 Steps' photo, is there an antique robot on left section, or is it something hanging from a wire?
	4:40pm Ike: It’s me! (There is another Ike, who posts as Ike-O, if I recall correctly, but I’m regular-flavor Ike.)
	4:40pm Laura L: ↳ jan @4:38 Know just what you mean--and got to get back into a big art catalogue now.
	4:42pm jan: ↳ Laura L @4:40 Now yah got me wondering about that catalog, but I've got to get back to, video editing.
	4:42pm love2laf: ↳ Ike @4:40 Thank you Ike, and all the volunteers, love that one of you lovely people will be packing my swag <3
	4:45pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Ike @4:40 Ike Prime, in the FMU cinematic universe
	4:47pm Jason T: Alice Cooper singing Sister Anne? Did MC5 cover it? Did Alice? The internet is so enshittified I can't get an answer, it's all shit.
	👻 4:48pm DjLorraine: ↳ Ike @4:40 But did your cat ever hint to where carrot cake is hidden?
	4:49pm Irwin: ↳ Jason T @4:47 MC5 song, covered by local boy Alice.
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:40 i was wondering about the orb of Light on the staircase
	4:50pm Various Julius: I just noticed that the photo credit on the 100 Steps photo says "Jetsey City", which is kind of cool
	4:53pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:49 Yeah that too, they had photoshop back then, or it's a floating street light.
	👻 4:55pm DjLorraine: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:49 I was also wondering about the orb and what or who in on the steps. We mostly have wooden telephone poles here except for the fancy areas. 3rd world metropolis in the hurricane zone.
	👻 4:55pm winston legthigh: thanks irwin and all, have a gussed day!
	4:56pm Irwin: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:53 In prior centuries it was called "Quark."
	4:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Down for Double" by "Buddy Rich" And whaddaya know, there's drumming on this..
	4:58pm Lisa H.: Nobody has mentioned the obvious: ectoplasm
	4:59pm Ochre Ogre: Or, maybe a it's Marcel Duchamp sculpture descending installation.
	4:59pm Irwin: ↳ Lisa H. @4:58 Have we met? Where's Alison?
	4:59pm Yes: =)
	5:01pm Tom: Sam Ash closing after 100 years.
	👻 5:01pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:58 My old neighborhood. I used to live at PPR & Observer Hwy.
	5:01pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Heaven Must Have Sent You" by "Bonnie Pointer" There's so much going on in this arrangement. So many great details.
	5:02pm JohnnyR: I heard Irwin was going teats out with the musical selections today.
	👻 5:03pm Karl: ↳ Irwin @5:01 TIL about motown.com via this write up of this Bonnie Pointer single: classic.motown.com...
	5:03pm Irwin: ↳ JohnnyR @5:02 Two cheers for manboobs.
	5:05pm love2laf: ↳ Irwin @5:03 Three cheers for those with an extra nipple!
	5:05pm Ochre Ogre: Everybody clap!
	5:05pm JohnnyR: Don't be superfluous!
	5:08pm jack jones: I was lurking Erwin's comment board when I found out Steve Albini was dead
	5:09pm Handy Haversack: OK, sauce is on the burble, and I am outside with you and a Hemingway daiquiri. I made a double (well, a triple) and saved half for K8 ... for now ...
	5:11pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ jack jones @5:08 oh wow, I've been listening and enjoying while slammed at work. I'm so surprised to hear that about S. Albini
	5:12pm ?: ↳ Patrick Mahomes @3:18 better now that you have it, or the long drives are better than it?
	👻 5:12pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:09 This basement life I am currently living is unacceptable. First of all, we have no Hemingway daiquiris here. Second--and perhaps most important--we have neither grapefruits nor grapefruit juice. I have to get my life together.
	5:12pm Peteski: the cold sleep itself was dreamless
	5:13pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Stick With Me" by "The Knickerbockers" Another song by The Knickerbockers - Jersey City's own.
	5:14pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Stick With Me" by "The Knickerbockers" This sure sounded like The Knickerbockers from the kitchen.
	5:14pm JohnnyR: Beatlesque though they were
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:13 I learned it from a Beware of the Blog post, or somewhere from here years ago. It said they were a JC band, named for "Knickerbocker Ave."
	5:15pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:09 Anything like a Fredo daiquiri? Drink a couple of those and you get diarrhea of the mouth.
	5:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @5:12 There is help out there for people in your circumstances. Remember, you're not alone.
	5:15pm JohnnyR: ↳ Peteski @5:12 Yo, Peteski! Howzzit going!
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @5:15 He was bangin' cocktail waitresses two at a time!
	5:17pm melinda: howdy Irwin and all
	5:17pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:16 And Johnny Ola knew all the Havana hotspots like the back of his hand.
	👻 5:19pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:15 Handy Haversack, Life/Cocktail Coach
	5:21pm Peteski: ↳ JohnnyR @5:15 yo
	5:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @5:19 We're gonna two reps of Corn and Oils, cool down with a Katetail, and really delve into this basement thing.
	5:24pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:09 When do you expect Radio to contribute to the cocktail shift? I know it never worked out with the cats (they drink it all then sleep it off)
	5:25pm JohnnyR: ↳ Peteski @5:21 I noticed one of Aron Wiesenfeld pieces on Ken's show this morning, highlighted on your incomparable site, thisisnthappiness.com Shine on you crazy diamond
	👻 5:25pm DjLorraine: ↳ love2laf @5:05 Mine is so tiny and covered by the bikini bust line. No areola or tissue. But medically identified when I was a child. TMI
	5:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @5:24 Seriously. They really stuck it to me in the collective bargaining. Hopefully he's good for a free drink or two from charmed bartenders once he's street legal!
	5:28pm JohnnyR: ↳ DjLorraine @5:25 You truly are a special person. Familiar with X-Tra Nipple by Ass Ponys? One of my favorite jams: youtu.be...
	5:29pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:26 You should make cats your next collective bargaining leaders
	5:31pm Feldy: The people demand GUS
	5:31pm Hubig Pie: I imagined it was jazz segue to a Gus break.
	5:32pm Hubig Pie: Bob Ross's cabins were always in disrepair.
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: NO EGRETS!
	5:33pm coelacanth∅: the image of gus "touching up one's suite" is indeed a vile one.
	5:33pm love2laf: ↳ DjLorraine @5:25 Well since we're sharing, I've got 2 outputs on each kidney, genetic anomaly to be embraced! Cheers everyone time to cocktail, kitteh, and cook with human.
	5:33pm fred: ↳ Peteski @5:21 Nice stuff, bookmarked
	5:34pm JohnnyR: Bob Ross was no Thomas Kinkade, thank God
	5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Egrets and Earworms" by "Gus Bodenheim" ❤ Cloth-eared Neanderthal.
	5:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @5:33 I have an extra bone in each ankle!

	5:35pm spodiodi: amazing this song has been stuck in my head the past few day, including this morning
	5:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Egrets and Earworms" by "Gus Bodenheim" "How Deep Is Your Perversion", by Gus B.
	5:37pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:35 you should donate them to someone that has too few
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ JohnnyR @5:35 I love that as a society we have finally realized that there's no reason to confine oneself to just ONE tramp stamp. Palimpsest, people!
	5:38pm coelacanth∅: i have ribs visible below my ribcage, but i don't think it's genetic
	5:38pm Hubig Pie: Our Man Flint ringtone. I had that on my phone and it drove my wife crazy. Changed to a benign ding.
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:37 Oh, I'm on the registry.
	5:38pm Ochre Ogre: Heron Oblivion white Gus will need to do four coats using Glidden.
	5:38pm KWilde: Haven’t heard Drink Me in awhile. Probably heard them first on Irwin’s show
	5:38pm spodiodi: have birthmarks that were part of my gills
	5:39pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Egrets and Earworms" by "Gus Bodenheim" Did that ring tone mean Mr. Bodenheim has replaced Mr. Flint?

	3:51pm Irwin: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:45 I'm trying to figure out where those stairsteps were. And what's there now.
	3:52pm HyperDose: Hot set, Irwin! Not surprising because memory foam retains heat 🔥
	👻 3:52pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Irwin @3:51 Actually, I'm wrong. They're at the bottom of PP Rd. (near 1st st) Tho the replaced them with only 95 steel steps.
	👻 3:53pm Gregosaurus: www.nj.com...
	3:54pm dave miss: Anybody talking about how much Steve Albini hated Steely Dan?

	3:55pm robin: there are more than 95! i think its 97. next time you are there, count again for fun
	👻 3:56pm Dan S: ↳ Paul with a P @3:45 No. BTW, I found this about Dowling's history: "In January 1963, Adelphi purchased the former William K. Vanderbilt estate in Oakdale. Adelphi spun the campus off in 1968 as Dowling College, named after city planner and philanthropist Robert W. Dowling, who provided an endowment of over $3 million."
	👻 3:56pm winston legthigh: ↳ Irwin @3:51 are those the stairs from the steven's parking lot on frank sinatra drive to the babbio center?
	3:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:53 Wow, thanks! Good bit of local geography/history/image identification, and a mystery solved! The "Franklin Avenue Steps" - two decades and $1 mill for 95 steps. So each of those steps is worth about $10,000. (Hope people don't snatch them and resell them..)
	👻 3:58pm Dan S: I'm thinking we should start a Gus Bodenheim For President campaign. Here's a campaign slogan: "Gus Bodenheim. He tells it like it is. You just don't have the vocabulary to understand it."
	3:59pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Obliteration" by "Magic Fig" PROGTASTIC!
	3:59pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @3:59 Sorry, didn't mean to shout.
	4:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:59 "PROGTASMIC", even!
	4:03pm spodiodi: greetings, Irwin and all
	4:04pm PaulRobeson1924: You made a great choice, Mr.Irwin
	4:04pm Pol Pot: Could someone please explain Gus Bodenheim? Is he an actor?
	👻 4:04pm rrg: 100 Steps: www.hobokengirl.com...
	4:04pm Matt from Springfield: Evokes "1,001 Arabian Nights" tales to me - "Magic Fig".
	4:04pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:58 All the money went into those twin landings. Think of the $$$'s saved if they would have just built a straight shot.
	4:05pm Mister Dobalina: I love figs! Thanks to the Italian immigrant population that was here in my hood, generations ago. I thank them.
	👻 4:06pm winston legthigh: gus is casting venom straight into your earballs.
	4:06pm spodiodi: there's been a woman selling figs (i think from her yard) for years by the Glen Park Bart station in san francisco. so there's that idea
	4:07pm James Douglas: Gus and RFK Jr too. Explains a lot.
	4:07pm Matt from Springfield: I've heard of earworms but that's too much!
	👻 4:07pm βrian: An earworm unattended can plant itself more deeply.
	4:08pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ James Douglas @4:07 IKR
	4:08pm peter: Robert Kennedy claimed today that they found a worm in his brain
	4:08pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:04 Or just build the funicular - Salzburg has a nice gravity-based one they could replicate.
	👻 4:08pm rrg: Fig and pear jam. I'm not a shill or a toady or a sycophant, merely a satisfied consumer. www.uptontea.com...
	4:10pm Asheville Jon: Irwin: got my "Slouching Towards Bodenheim" the other day. Thanks for putting that together.
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: Though I wonder if Gus would cooperate with the Smithsonian in at least cataloguing his brain's contents. Facts or myths, they're a treasure trove of narrative.
	4:11pm Mister Dobalina: Someone call the Jazz police, 'cause this track is dangerously good !
	4:11pm Laura L: ↳ rrg @4:08 And Irwin makes a delicious fig jam in fig season--little known, but it's a fact!
	👻 4:12pm Dan S: ↳ peter @4:08 Perhaps The Worm Ouroboros.
	4:12pm Listener Robert: I gather from this that Mr. Bodenheim wisely rejects the Sly Weasel "bourbon" they supply gratis to the OC, as well as the Glen Passaic that seems to turn up at the station.
	4:12pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:10 Gus has a well-furnished brain.
	4:13pm Keith in Vermont: ↳ dave miss @3:54 He sure did! I like Steve. And I like Steely Dan. It's all good by me.
	👻 4:13pm rrg: ↳ Laura L @4:11 Yes! I've had some. I turned to this when that ran out.
	4:14pm Tommy in Neversink: ↳ Song: "Have You Met Miss Jones?" by "Enrique Ibarguren T... I was gonna guess this was Just Friends..glad I didn't
	4:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Green Chimneys" by "Randy Weinstein" Sounded like Toots Thielemans on harmonica there.
	4:18pm Fredericks: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:15 A little meatier than Toots to my ear. Toots always struck me as having a thin tone. If thin is the right word.
	4:19pm Irwin: ↳ Fredericks @4:18 Toots is no Huey Lewis.
	👻 4:20pm G: Made it. Was grocery shopping last hour. Would have preferred early morning for that, but too many moving parts today. It’s 93 and humid in New Orleans — no fun schlepping groceries around.
	4:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol 2, Ep 11" by "... Scotch prose!! Any prose is Scotch prose with the right beverage...
	4:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol 2, Ep 11" by "... Grand to come home to this.
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: Johnson railed to Boswell that there was only one tree in all of Scotland, so you'd think Dad could have learned the name.
	4:23pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Koto Song" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" A little belated tribute. 5/4 is Dave Brubeck Remembrance Day.
	4:24pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:58 I used to live in the Heights and took those steps to the 2nd Street light rail regularly. My commute involved a Jersey City -> Hoboken -> Jersey City shuffle
	4:24pm Fredericks: ↳ Irwin @4:19 Or Little Walter.
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:21 Wylcome, 'andy! Prepping a single malt for this? (Though it's now getting too humid for an afternoon Scotch.)
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol 2, Ep 11" by "... ol' gus got nothing on the worldly treasure that is Ivor Cutler
	4:24pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Koto Song" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" Now my day begins
	4:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Ben in Newark @4:24 Over, under, around, and through places?
	4:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:24 For some reason, I'm about to make a sauce. But some sort of cooling concoction is going to have to accompany.
	👻 4:26pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:25 It's good pina colada weather
	4:26pm jan: Koto song- Jazz- I could go for this. And that Ivor Culter piece, not suitable for multitasking. had to stop work, which I hadn't done for Gus, and so could not comprehend. Great show today!
	4:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @4:26 Would love to get caught in the rain right now.
	4:28pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:24 On the plus side, Gus is still around and making new material. I ought to see the full Magical Mystery Tour movie - wasn't Ivor Cutler the bus driver in that? And HEYA!
	4:28pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Irwin!
	4:28pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:25 yup, the only thing missing from the commute was crossing a body of water
	4:28pm Irwin: ↳ jan @4:26 Hola, Jan. Thanks for sticking around for 40+ years.
	👻 4:30pm DjLorraine: Q: since Olivia is on vacation who handles incoming new music? My composer friend just had one performed on utube new music concert. They perform his bizarre creations. Maybe more of Bryce style. He said his percussion quartet is more audience friendly. I asked for a sample of his work. He asked if the station accepts WAV or FLAC. One of them is on mp3 format.
	4:31pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Irwin @4:23 "Take" twenty four, for Dave B.
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:28 yes sadly Ivor has shuffled on from this mortal coil. yes DO see magical mystery tour! it's a great movie. expectedly over the heads of most critics at the time; maybe still?
	4:31pm Laura L: ↳ jan @4:26 I know the phenomenon--got to stop working for the spoken word works; varying degrees of success in stopping.
	4:32pm jan: ↳ Irwin @4:28 where else could I find musical teats so sweat and nourishing?
	4:33pm Irwin: ↳ jan @4:32 You want me to correct that to "treats"? I have that administrative power.
	4:33pm jan: ↳ Laura L @4:31 would you be the Laura L artist?
	4:33pm Irwin: ↳ jan @4:33 Book designer. Yes, she's an artist.
	👻 4:34pm DjLorraine: 8 years ago someone performed one of his pieces in that sound silo.
	👻 4:34pm DjLorraine: I'm not saying it's for everyone
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @4:33 never met a musical teat i didn't like
	4:35pm love2laf: ↳ DjLorraine @4:30 Last I heard intern Myrial (sorry, likely spelling wrong) is Interim Music Director. I don't have the last email from Olivia or Ken with the announcement, so I don't know if they even shared her email.
	4:35pm jan: ↳ Irwin @4:33 Oh, then not the Laura L, I had in mind.
	4:35pm Laura L: The one and the same. And you're Jan the photographer.
	4:36pm Laura L: Ah a different Laura L!
	4:38pm Matt from Springfield: THEE Ike!!
	4:38pm jan: ↳ Laura L @4:35 I am. and I was thinking of a L L photographer. And speaking of not being able to work during the program, the listener comments board stalls all work, and I most often don't read for that reason.
	👻 4:39pm winston legthigh: way to go michael, ken, ike, scott, and max!
	👻 4:39pm DjLorraine: ↳ love2laf @4:35 Thank you
	4:40pm Ochre Ogre: In the '100 Steps' photo, is there an antique robot on left section, or is it something hanging from a wire?
	4:40pm Ike: It’s me! (There is another Ike, who posts as Ike-O, if I recall correctly, but I’m regular-flavor Ike.)
	4:40pm Laura L: ↳ jan @4:38 Know just what you mean--and got to get back into a big art catalogue now.
	4:42pm jan: ↳ Laura L @4:40 Now yah got me wondering about that catalog, but I've got to get back to, video editing.
	4:42pm love2laf: ↳ Ike @4:40 Thank you Ike, and all the volunteers, love that one of you lovely people will be packing my swag <3
	4:45pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Ike @4:40 Ike Prime, in the FMU cinematic universe
	4:47pm Jason T: Alice Cooper singing Sister Anne? Did MC5 cover it? Did Alice? The internet is so enshittified I can't get an answer, it's all shit.
	👻 4:48pm DjLorraine: ↳ Ike @4:40 But did your cat ever hint to where carrot cake is hidden?
	4:49pm Irwin: ↳ Jason T @4:47 MC5 song, covered by local boy Alice.
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:40 i was wondering about the orb of Light on the staircase
	4:50pm Various Julius: I just noticed that the photo credit on the 100 Steps photo says "Jetsey City", which is kind of cool
	4:53pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:49 Yeah that too, they had photoshop back then, or it's a floating street light.
	👻 4:55pm DjLorraine: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:49 I was also wondering about the orb and what or who in on the steps. We mostly have wooden telephone poles here except for the fancy areas. 3rd world metropolis in the hurricane zone.
