	1:22pm egould310: Juvenile delinquency problem. Something must be done about it. I’m going to drink vodka and orange juice until the whole juvenile delinquency mess is cleared up. That’s something.
	♥ 1:22pm Greg from ZONE 5: I put "Crazy Date" on a mix for my ex once. Maybe that's why I'm still single.
	♥ 1:24pm Bruce S.: Greg I heard your show the other night, you were great

	1:33pm egould310: @Hubig ‘Nipples’
	♥ 1:33pm Bruce S.: Yeah I think thats right, mrs.Jack klugman
	1:34pm Mister Dobalina: Oh no, not the rubber room!
	♥ 1:34pm Greg from ZONE 5: Hey, thanks for listening Bruce!
	1:35pm Mike W.: Feel very seen by this set, thanks from the depths of futile mania
	1:36pm Jack: I thought so. The Klugmans had a weekly card game with my friends parents. We'd come home -really stoned- and they'd be in the living room, VERY intoxicated, playing cards. We'd try to sneak upstairs, but they'd always call us over to "chat", but they were usually so drunk they couldn't see how stoned we were.
	1:38pm Mailman Tom: I have Jack Klugman's autograph
	1:40pm Roberto: Jack and Brett were at my house once.
	1:42pm Roberto: Nope, different Robert Klein.
	1:43pm Mister Dobalina: For the longest time I used to confused Jack Klugman with Walter Matthau & vice versa. I'm such a duffer.
	♥ 1:43pm Bruce S.: @ jack thats a great story, I kinda wish I was there
	♥ 1:43pm McGroovey: The Klugmans only came to our house through the TV. @Handy not going to the station this week. But I think I'll see you Monday, right?
	♥ 1:45pm TonyR: If Brett and Jack came over to my house to play cards with my Mom and Dad, I think there'd be no point in going on. It doesn't get better than that.
	1:45pm Mister Dobalina: Well, just looked out the window & it's start to get scary, dark, cloudy looking.
	♥ 1:45pm SammyC: I was born in 81 but love watching match game. Brett is a gem. Her and Charles Nelson Reilly crack me up
	1:45pm Mister Dobalina: & the wind is starting to pick up. That was your weather report for the tri-state area.
	♥ 1:46pm TonyR: Was lucky to see Brett and Charles as a young, easily infuienced pre-teen. Kisses back atcha, Brett.
	1:46pm Mister Dobalina: What was the game show/ host, who used to kiss all the ladies contestants on the lips?
	1:46pm Hubig Pie: Well that settles it, Imma gonna change my name to Dink Ringo
	1:47pm Jack: Richard Dawson used to kiss all the ladies on The Family Feud.
	♥ 1:47pm SammyC: wasnt that richard dawson who kissed everyone
	1:47pm Dave Miss: Mamma
	1:47pm Hubig Pie: Mister D, Richard Dawson ?
	♥ 1:47pm Bruce S.: Brett Somers, one of the all time great celebreties
	♥ 1:47pm TonyR: Jack and Walter both played Oscar of he Odd Couple, in different media.
	♥ 1:48pm SammyC: and Richard was of course on match game as well
	1:48pm Roberto: Walter never came to my house but I went to his a couple of times.
	1:48pm P-90: Eagerly awaiting “Shantytown Honeymoon The Musical” when Broadway gets back to normal
	1:48pm Mister Dobalina: Gosh, I always found that so weird. All those cooties he was passing around. Yuk.
	♥ 1:49pm Bruce S.: I always thought Richard Dawson was slipping some tongue in those kisses
	♥ 1:49pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I always really enjoyed Jack Klugman in The Twilight Zone. Been fun watching him in The Odd Couple on Decades Network, though I've only seen a few episodes. Been meaning to record a bunch more.
	1:49pm Jack: yuck!
	♥ 1:49pm TonyR: Demon Drink really ruined Dawson's looks.
	♥ 1:50pm TonyR: Is Roberto saying what I think he's saying?
	1:51pm P-90: Klugman did a couple of the best Twilight Zones
	1:51pm Hubig Pie: Did the Pigeon Sisters make any appearances on the TV Odd Couple ?
	♥ 1:52pm TonyR: As a young'un in the 70s, I would stay at Grandma's house on Friday nights because she had a color TV. Lots of Jack Klugman (and Love American Style) in my youth, also.
	1:54pm Mister Dobalina: The demon drink is also a cocktail made of Cranberry juice, mint tea, jameson irish whiskey, & orange.
	♥ 1:54pm Bruce S.: @Rosey enjoy The Odd Couple, one of my top five sitcomes of all friggin time
	♥ 1:55pm TonyR: I didn't understand what was going on with Felix's back as he tried to get in the cab in the opening credits, but I was old enough to find it suspect that he was "married". It's the little things....
	♥ 1:55pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Rosey!
	♥ 1:57pm Bruce S.: I think Felix pulled a muscle getting into that cab
	1:57pm Sylvia's Mother: "Love American Style" marathon on Decades this weekend.
	♥ 1:57pm TonyR: Yeah, but it took me years to figure out what that was.
	♥ 1:57pm TonyR: Felix and the cab, that is.
	♥ 1:58pm TonyR: What did I know of backs at such a tender age?
	1:59pm Mister Dobalina: Could never get enough MoMMa's during this 2 hour tour to nowhere.
	♥ 2:00pm TonyR: We had a falsetto MoMMa this week. Rex is a man of many talents!
	2:00pm Roberto: Felix and the cab, the wonderful wonderful cab.
	♥ 2:00pm Handy Haversack: We have to go out in the horrible world to get a couple of things done. I hope we make it back! Thanks, Rex!
	♥ 2:00pm Bruce S.: I've got to check out Dink Ringo's ouevre
	2:00pm Mister Dobalina: I 2nd that notion.
	♥ 2:01pm TonyR: At 2PM on the elitist East Coast? Please don't. I just walked half a block to drop off the mail and ran back into the AC-cooled comfort. It'll kill you out there.
	♥ 2:03pm Handy Haversack: I have to get some boxes. What a disastro. Summer of DOOM.
	♥ 2:03pm TonyR: Moving?
	♥ 2:04pm TonyR: You can't pick up enough boxes in one day to accommodate moving house.
	♥ 2:05pm TonyR: Bit of a cooldown on Sunday ("only" up to mid-80s in Philly). Procrastinate!!
	2:05pm davefromtoronto: what's the significance of big bill's legs being crossed?
	♥ 2:05pm Bruce S.: Allright Rex, this is great
	♥ 2:07pm TonyR: I bet that "Herbal Sex stimulant" number doesn't work anymore.
	2:07pm davefromtoronto: you know big bill didn't need no seestimulla!
	2:07pm Mister Dobalina: Did anyone catch that #? I'm asking for a friend.
	♥ 2:07pm TonyR: Doesn't matter. No area code.
	♥ 2:08pm TonyR: 7-digit dialing doesn't even work anymore, amirite?
	2:09pm davefromtoronto: the jitterbug from brooklyn is all i need!
	♥ 2:10pm TonyR: "Cool Kind Lover", "Frosty". Is Rex trying to manipulate us away from thinking about the stifling heat?
	2:10pm Mister Dobalina: It does on my rotary phone.
	♥ 2:10pm Bruce S.: 7 digit dialin is gone like the horse and buggy
	♥ 2:11pm TonyR: Hey, keep it clean!! No talk of sex toys like your so-called "rotary phone".
	♥ 2:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: In the 70s, we could dial local numbers using the just the last five digits. What a time saver!
	♥ 2:12pm TonyR: And Three-digit exchanges had NAMES! So songs could be written about them! And we liked it that way.
	♥ 2:13pm Bruce S.: Rotary phones were fun, putting your finger in the hole and dialing ,and waiting for the dial to go back before you dialed again
	2:13pm Mister Dobalina: It's starting to look scary out there. peels the tab off a can of Narragansett light.
	♥ 2:14pm TonyR: And those "party lines"!
	2:15pm pottybear: Long live Blanche Madison
	2:15pm davefromtoronto: i'm so old i remember when there were "party lines" at my cottage.
	2:15pm davefromtoronto: ha tonyR beat me to it!
	2:16pm Mister Dobalina: Well at least Dave wasn't trying to sell you records while dining in the East Village.
	2:16pm Brez: "Party lines" took on a whole new meaning in the 80s!
	♥ 2:17pm TonyR: We're about to hear a recommend from Dave the Spazz under the influence of imminent heatstroke. It's not nice to make fun of the ill!
	2:17pm P-90: I fully support Dave the Spazz’s efforts to be “gettin’ into the management game”
	2:17pm Mailman Tom: Best of luck to Dave the Spazz in his new endeavor
	♥ 2:17pm TonyR: "Wipeout" without guitar. WHY???
	2:17pm Mister Dobalina: I thoroughly enjoy the Rex/Spazz heckling on each others shows. Sheer giggles! Wonder if Dave ever caught that bus?
	2:18pm P-90: Wow maybe Dave finally found that “new sound” he’s been looking for
	♥ 2:19pm Bruce S.: Dave the Spazz- I gotta catch a bus
	♥ 2:19pm Dave the Spazz: The Now Sound
	♥ 2:19pm TonyR: All new sounds are old again.
	2:20pm Dave Miss: Dave’s big suit. Maybe it was really Dave Byrne
	2:20pm Mister Dobalina: Sweaty summer Dave is the best Dave.
	♥ 2:20pm TonyR: Dave needs to rethink suits in this heat. Three words: "Hot Pants Country"!
	♥ 2:21pm DjLorraine: Brett Somers was consistant with her material. I salute her.
	♥ 2:23pm TonyR: "Wipeout" needs guitar, and "Hanky Panky" clearly needs "chick singers".
	♥ 2:23pm Bruce S.: I'd go to see the Singing Jones Family and D D and the Derelicts
	2:24pm Mister Dobalina: Moral of the story, don't ever steal from yo moMMa!
	♥ 2:29pm Bruce S.: This is music
	2:29pm ledzeppelinsucks: Area codes were formulated by the time it took for the rotor to spin. 212 was the highest population and the shortest spin time and 907 was the lowest population and the longest spin.
	♥ 2:31pm Bruce S.: Spin time was an important concept in rotary phone usage
	2:32pm Dave Miss: Sounds like Rex cleaned his bong.
	2:33pm Mister Dobalina: Entertained & educated, FMU chat board is the best!
	2:33pm ?: Certified No Brow here
	♥ 2:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Call 1-8NO-BROW and join the party line already in progress!
	♥ 2:33pm john_zilla: high brow low brow hello from catskills
	2:33pm ledzeppelinsucks: The switch was turned on after 0 or 1 was dialed.
	2:34pm P-90: Man, if Joe E. was still around he’d be HOUNDING Rex for royalties
	2:35pm Mister Dobalina: Or maybe he's boiling water for a few, natural casing, Boars Head, hotdogs.
	2:36pm Brez: Thanks for the Halloween-all-year record, Rex! Coincidentally, I just started making a Halloween costume for my doggie!
	♥ 2:37pm Bruce S.: I think I'll have some hot dogs for lunch after the show- Nathans
	♥ 2:37pm Pedro in Arlington: Are you and the Shelleys doing the Yogi Museum too? Did the museum ever get the stolen Series rings back? And Holstens isn't far. Good food and site of Tony Soprano's last meal.
	2:37pm Brez: @John_Zilla: Glad to know you're rockin' the Catskills with Rex!
	2:37pm ShelbyG: Hola!
	2:39pm ShelbyG: Nice sounds, Rex!
	2:39pm Mister Dobalina: I've been wanting one of those dirty water, hot dogs you they sell at the carts on the street in nYc.
	♥ 2:40pm TonyR: Street cart hot dogs clearly do NOT "answer to a higher authority".
	♥ 2:40pm Bruce S.: I think those dogs are sub sabrette
	2:42pm Mister Dobalina: Let the battle of the hot dawgs begin.
	♥ 2:42pm Bruce S.: Thunder! its coming down folks
	2:42pm ShelbyG: Hebrew Nationals
	♥ 2:45pm dave miss: Everyone's dogs are hawt today
	♥ 2:45pm Bruce S.: Oh this is great
	2:46pm davefromtoronto: flip side of this biscuit is "harpo's ho"
	2:46pm bobob: Milwaukee band Esquires??
	2:48pm ShelbyG: I just had an omelette with fresh farm eggs. Omelettes are goood.
	2:49pm NJ home: I got water come into cracks in my basement where I didn't know I had cracks for water to getinto
	♥ 2:49pm Bruce S.: Shelby I'm glad you have a full stomach
	2:49pm ShelbyG: @NJ: oof, that sucks

	♥ 2:54pm Doug in JC: I just leave my yardstick in the sump pit these days
	♥ 2:54pm Bruce S.: Excellent Shelb, a solid foundation is what it's all about
	2:55pm ShelbyG: @Bruce: for real, tho, it's super challenging to cook for one, I don't like cooking much, so I feel super grown up when I do actually prepare myself food to eat
