WFMU: Old Codger with Courtney T. Edison: Playlist from March 25, 2021

Listener comments!
	3:07pm Lolabelle Pancake: It has been a whirlwind week for the Old Codger! He will detail his doings on tonight's show. He wants to thank all the listeners who pledged to his show during the fundraiser, but particularly those who sent their donations directly to Courtney in the form of cash-stuffed envelopes. He told me to say that his gratitude is boundless. (Of course it isn't, but he feels you deserve a timeworn platitude.)
	3:45pm Pierre Delecto: I suffer from adverbial hypersensitivity. It's a painful affliction. It literally makes my head explode.
	4:58pm rrg: I hope Courtney got my money! I asked him to write back to me so I could be sure it arrived safely (it was a LOT of money) but I haven't heard.
	5:51pm ultradamno: Fablio is playing something right now called "Suite For Broken Sex". I don't know what message he's trying send about his junk, but he should keep it to himself.
	6:00pm Lolabelle Pancake: I hope there were no children listening. Probably just broken down hippies.
	6:01pm HyperDose: @Lolabelle We're mostly latchkey kids. Spare a nickel, ma'am?
	6:02pm JBoogie: smells like mothballs in here
	6:02pm Lolabelle Pancake: Mamie Smith would never sing about "broken sex." She would sing about a "handyman" who would fix it up good.
	6:03pm ultradamno: Sounds like Tampa Red's woman is up to some monkey business
	6:03pm Lolabelle Pancake: Any song Courtney plays with "monkey" in the title is about sex.
	6:04pm dale: that's not the codger in that photo is it? i would have thought he'd have much more blacklung.
	6:04pm HyperDose: Sounds like more of a Sophie Tucker number
	6:04pm Lolabelle Pancake: Rrreggie: Courtney received your check. His only complaint was that it had too few zeroes.
	6:11pm Lolabelle Pancake: If Gaylord is listening, Courtney is elated that you brokered the introduction with BTB. He's going to send you a case of Sly Weasel Non-Alcoholic Bourbon.
	6:12pm HyperDose: When will the identity of Satan's bicycle messenger be revealed?
	6:17pm Iiiiiiiike: If you didn’t already know the “unmasked form” of the OC, that last mic break would have given it away if you’ve been paying attention and know your DJs.
	6:18pm JBoogie: It's Jeff Conklin?
	6:18pm Lolabelle Pancake: There is a sticker on the back of the photo that says: "A chest X-ray in progress at Dr. Maxime Menard's radiology department at the Cochin hospital in Paris, circa 1914. Menard would later lose his finger to side effects from operating the X-ray machine."
	6:18pm paddy in matawan: LOVE Mild and Bitter!
	6:18pm JBoogie: jk i missed the mic break. miss ya Jeff
	6:19pm northguineahills: fascinating, Lolabelle!
	6:19pm rrg: They don't have mild and bitter in Matawan.
	6:20pm dale: it's good that menard is safe behind those wood panels.
	6:20pm Iiiiiii.e: @JB, LOL, as if he has any sense of humor
	6:20pm JBoogie: that was sorta my joke
	6:21pm Iiiiieeee: Oops, duh. WHOOSH
	6:22pm D Rok (in brooklyn): Good evening, folks. Hello Lolabelle.
	6:23pm JBoogie: I mailed you a box of raisins, Courtney. Did you get them?
	6:28pm dale: is this the automatic problematic? or the manual version...
	6:28pm Lolabelle Pancake: They both require batteries (not included—that's your first problem).
	6:29pm Iiiiieeee: That Delbarton “colic horn” sound effect was almost sumptuously evocative of the losing horn noise on The Price Is Right.
	6:29pm Rick from SC: I don’t want one of those
	6:31pm G: Many of the lyricists this week are heavily focused on personal problems. Is that because Ken asked for happy sets this week? "lol"
	6:32pm ultradamno: A fancy lithium battery or will a spud deliver sufficient charge?
	6:32pm dale: i'll have to hook one up to the aeromotor windmill. was gonna listen to edgar bergan on the crosley farm radio but he's not very good since he died.
	6:35pm rrg: Ventriloquism on the radio was never very good.
	6:37pm Lolabelle Pancake: Nor is nudity.
	6:38pm G: Some people have the right looks for radio.
	6:38pm Lolabelle Pancake: There was a WFMU disc jockey named Kenneth Goldensmith who supposedly always did his show naked.
	6:39pm dale: oh, when rubbers could be said and no one tittered.
	6:39pm G: oh, when tittered could be said and no one giggled.
	6:39pm dale: i thought kenny g wore a codpiece and one of those opera helmets with the horns.
	6:40pm KWilde: I was wondering why his show was called Anal Magic
	6:41pm Folsom: So was Jessica Walter way too young for the Codger? Same amount of wit though.
	6:43pm ultradamno: She could sing www.youtube.com...
	6:43pm Listener Robert: I think you're confusing Kenny G with Moondog. And I don't mean the goat.
	6:44pm G: Flip never got the breaks that Mickey did.
	6:45pm Lolabelle Pancake: There is little dialogue in the Flip features because he had trouble remembering his lines.
	6:46pm G: He should have read from a big binder. Like at a press conference.
	6:46pm D Rok (in brooklyn): I'm pretty sure I've seen this one.
	6:49pm wendy del formaggio: I tuned in late, but just in time for...Flip the Frog!
	6:53pm G: I'm Betting on Etting.
	6:53pm dale: flip the frog also had the studio caterers on edge because they cooked the snails and served with butter and he just wanted them live.
	6:54pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney is trying to get his hands on the 10-hr "lost" Flip the Frog film directed by Erich von Stroheim.
	6:54pm G: There's probably a copy under someone's bed in Italy.
	6:54pm dale: the one fritz lang abandoned? with the robotic frog?
	6:57pm Lolabelle Pancake: Von Stroheim was such a stickler for accuracy. He insisted during the entire filming that Flip perform as a quadruped. It was difficult for Flip, who was accustomed to bipedal roles.
	6:57pm G: What ever happened to typecasting?
	6:58pm ultradamno: Didn't he do a DW Griffith one once described as "amphibian history written with lightning"?
	6:58pm D Rok (in brooklyn): I can't blame Flip. I'm a bipedal-phile myself.
	6:58pm dale: bipedal or no - his sexual predilictions are no one's business.
	6:59pm ultradamno: I think it may have contained denials of the events of The Frog Cried
	6:59pm radioronan: Thanks Codger.. Lolabelle & gang! Thanks skeletons!
	7:00pm dale: thanks lolabelle andthe codger. stay away from g men if they show up on your lawn.
	7:00pm KWilde: Thanks Codger - stay well!
	7:00pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Lolabelle! I just crashed my car in order to stop to take on this appreciation.
	7:01pm HyperDose: Someone flipped Flip the Frog!
	7:01pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Courtney!
