	12:04pm Erica from Cranford: Hi, Prof. :)
	12:04pm spacecadet: is this an ASMR show now
	12:04pm egould: Ahh yes. Now I remember the concept. At first I was like, “Where the hell is Pseu Braun?!?” Hi Pseu. I’m jumping in the shower, so let’s lather up!
	12:04pm bluecharlie: Just a little soap please, don't want to get to dry...🫧
	12:05pm Jeezuseffinchrist: mm cornnuts
	12:05pm misty: Tingles}}}}}
	12:05pm Orthofrancis: Is Pseu eating Saltines or something?
	12:05pm BVP: Bubble wrap rap?
	12:05pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Erica from Cranford @12:04 hi erica!
	12:05pm Dan from Delco: This freaked my wife out. She just walked in to it, and thought one of the cats was stuck in a drawer.
	12:06pm prof.fuzz: this takes me back to that time we all thought the planet was being invaded my martians...
	12:06pm Oli: Getting all lathered up in Berlin!
	12:06pm Jeezuseffinchrist: free form indeed. welp, I'm gonna check on WKDU

	12:07pm misty: {{{{{{Just put on my headphones }}}}}
	12:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: "I'll wash your mouth out with soap!" 🧼 Didn't have to tell me twice.
	12:07pm Panther: This is fantastic
	12:07pm Erica from Cranford: ↳ Dan from Delco @12:05 LOL
	12:08pm Spankyflop: I remember there was a TV show called "No Soap Radio" that lasted 5 episodes in 1982. en.wikipedia.org...
	12:08pm PaulRobeson1923: Hi Hi Hi
	12:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I don't think this is the soap cutting woman but you never know
	12:09pm swivs: Came back to my apartment and thought my speaker had died. Then the crunching started in and everything is fine now, perfectly fine.
	12:10pm Niko, Copenhagen: Soap Opera?
	12:10pm -жеи: It sounds like they are carving styrofoam
	12:11pm Webhamster Henry: Soap bars going steady.
	12:11pm UFOspecialist: Reminds me of when Ken and Andy were only broadcasting to me only. Everyone else got Almond Brothers.
	12:11pm BerkeleyGuy: Songs for swinging soap bars
	12:11pm Niko, Copenhagen: A radio with soap can give some hope
	12:12pm Niko, Copenhagen: when the whole world says "nope" try with Pseu and some soap
	12:13pm Niko, Copenhagen: Should I stop or continue with my soap poems?
	12:13pm Dances with Moomins: No soap radio!
	12:15pm sydnius: salt peanuts salt peanuts
	12:15pm Susan: Irish spring?
	12:16pm Mi-rgod: Mipseuphonia!
	12:16pm Niko, Copenhagen: I wonder, if I died, if my wife would miss WFMU? Lets say she found a new guy who listened to some mainstream pop music. Would she like: "I miss Niko, he was a more sophisticated man with a more sophisticated taste". Or would she be like: "what a relief - normal music, finally.... "
	12:16pm Niko, Copenhagen: - be like
	12:17pm UFOspecialist: ↳ Niko, Copenhagen @12:16 I think about this all the freakin' time"!
	12:17pm sydnius: ↳ Niko, Copenhagen @12:16 what’s amusing me is Pseu is usually safe for me. She loves the R&R. Ambient, environmental, and ASMR would not be in her top 10.
	12:18pm Niko, Copenhagen: ↳ UFOspecialist @12:17 Ha ha. Great. Im not the only one...
	12:18pm xtrakrispy: It takes a certain type of person to commit these sounds to vinyl. It takes another type to play it. Still, it takes another, to play it on the air. No judgement.
	12:19pm nathan: this is going to be my new go-to broadcast when people ask why i'm a pledger
	12:19pm chuck friendly: At one point I thought my computer was on fire for a good 17 seconds
	12:19pm pgalub: Soapy hooks for days!
	12:20pm Travisano66: I hope someone's going to use all that soap.
	12:20pm UFOspecialist: ↳ Niko, Copenhagen @12:18 my gateway drug was listening to Hearty White while cooking dinner. 2011 or 2012 living in Brooklyn, all the windows open during the dead of winter. Hearty blasting out the windows. Wife telling me to turn this weird stuff off. Now she is hooked all these years later.
	12:23pm Steve Mussolini: I get a call like this every once in a while from someone’s pocket. I have to listen to it all
	12:23pm UFOspecialist: Townes Van Zandt has a song about bubbles.
	12:24pm Niko, Copenhagen: ↳ UFOspecialist @12:20 I have Serious Moonlite Sonatas on here every Sunday morning (Danish time) and my son always has this one friend up who lives two apartments below. Shes always like: what is this!? And I'm like pranking them and hiding the radio in the room where they play...
	12:25pm Slaz: What the f Pseu? What are we listening to?
	12:25pm pwrmnstr: musique concrete - hellz yerrrrrrrrrr
	12:26pm Marie in Queens: Is this cleaning out, my dirty, filthy mind? I have to admit, the sounds are growing on me (like foam) but I don't understand what is being done to/with the soap...
	12:27pm Rob from Bermuda: Sue, just tuning in now. Am I not hearing correctly, or are you pretending to be Lawrence Welk, “and break a those bubbles!”
	12:27pm pwrmnstr: it's being gently massaged with a contact mic
	12:27pm Rob from Bermuda: Sorry Pseu. Autocorrect
	12:27pm Gainstager Liquid: I guess this is where we are at
	12:27pm L Clay: Too commercial
	12:27pm Gainstager Liquid: it doesn't feel quite binaural
	12:27pm Adi br: Dang it Marie ! You did it again
	12:28pm woj: pstrength through failure.
	12:28pm rf: F. had a soap collection and very thin ears
	12:28pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Adi br @12:27 wha', who me?
	12:28pm Faux Jean: Pseu’s thing with a sud?
	12:28pm Jack McGuire: Damned skippy I'll pledge for this!
	12:29pm rsj: fundraising technique to rival kenny G
	12:29pm Daniel Donuts: I can’t take it much longer…. I’m giving it all I’ve got
	12:30pm Marie in Queens: there's something about the frequencies and timing--like it is registering in some kind of pattern that makes my brain want to yawn
	12:30pm UFOspecialist: Better than NPR...
	12:31pm rf: Field recording from SoapCon 2023
	12:31pm the serpent: This isn’t annoying at all
	12:32pm DjLorraine: "Do the freshen up!"
	12:32pm Steve Mussolini: I need another 2.5 hours of this pleez
	12:32pm RevWaldo: Think I'll chew on some tinfoil while listening to this.
	12:33pm BVP: My shrooms kicked in.
	12:33pm Marie in Queens: I think David Lynch would prolly like this
	12:35pm timinoak: More Kermit please.
	12:35pm RevWaldo: media.tenor.com...
	12:36pm LouFancy: This is what I imagine military psyops plays over loudspeakers. I switched to headphones so I can enjoy it fully.
	12:37pm timinoak: That is a tuba in that Dial commercial. I approve.
	12:37pm SeaCreature: I’ll be sure to use Dial before the endless trek to the knockdown center
	12:37pm Jerry: Hello Pseu, Are you responsible for the open mike noise we’re hearing on your program? While I love your show, i may have to turn the radio dial.
	12:39pm Marie in Queens: these ads really are like brainwashing...
	12:39pm timinoak: That potato chip eating sound needs tuba.
	12:39pm egould: ‘Bubble Bath’ by Muncie Girls ‘If You Must’ by Del the Funky Homosapien (not suitable for terrestrial radio airplay)
	12:40pm Trey: You rule. Coffee is at Marlboro today. I MISS YOU! You rule
	12:40pm Magenta: The cleanest show on radio so far.
	12:40pm campground: I'm getting so much work done
	12:40pm Listener Robert: Bill Z. Bub's not doing his Dum-Dum act (which he did just a couple weeks ago), so I get to indulge my foam loving. Here's my friend Nadine using my formula bath foam -- web.archive.org...
	12:40pm egould: More tuba.
	12:41pm timinoak: Jesus, the commercials in the 70s... I have thought that some of my last thoughts will be someone cutting a can with a ginsu knife or cutting open a bar of Irish Spring. Or hanging from a beam with glue. No kidding,. Always there.
	12:41pm SeaCreature: Can we get some Palmolive? You’re soaking in it!
	12:41pm Rocky Mountain Harry: Hey kids! Just remember... "...no matter how bad it gets."
	12:43pm SeaCreature: ↳ egould @12:40 It’s 99 and 44/100% pure!
	12:43pm timinoak: ↳ egould @12:40 Right.
	12:43pm DjLorraine: (Foaming agent)
	12:44pm Listener Robert: My friend Don here can't believe the commercials are for art's sake. He figures either somebody's making money off them or you're playing them as incentive to the audience to provide something better.
	12:44pm egould: Hey wait! The last commercial was playing up the “cream” angle. This one is denigrating cream. What gives?
	12:45pm LouFancy: Ivory soap ordered a pumpkin latte today, it's basic... like you!
	12:45pm DjLorraine: What even was cold cream?
	12:46pm timinoak: There it is. My people.
	12:47pm Miketp: just showered...listening .hi pseu & friends.
	12:47pm egould: ↳ timinoak @12:43 Played tuba in high school marching band. So, I’m a little biased. That reminds me; I should go on Reverb and buy a tuba. I’m sure my wife will enjoy that.
	12:48pm Listener Robert: ↳ DjLorraine @12:45 Cold cream is called that because it's an oil-in-water emulsion, so it feels cold on skin because the water is open to evaporation. Typically it's made from beeswax, sodium silicate, and mineral oil. The beeswax is partly saponified by the silicate.
	12:48pm listener 126464: There's a man in my bathtub!
	12:48pm timinoak: ↳ egould @12:47 That's awesome! Yes.
	12:50pm Steve Mussolini: Soap soap soap! What a scam. Haven't used it in years. https://www.efolio.soton.ac.uk/blog/sg1d14/files/2015/02/mythologies.pdf
	12:51pm egould: You’re soaking in it.
	12:51pm SeaCreature: Thanks, Madge!
	12:52pm rsj: palmolive cleaned our bong in college, been a true believer ever since
	12:52pm DjLorraine: ↳ Listener Robert @12:48 Thanks. As a child i had to use it to take off stage makeup.I felt soothing and then greasy. I don't even wear makeup these days.
	12:54pm Listener Robert: ↳ Listener Robert @12:48 Darn, Wikipedia says I'm wrong. It's water-in-oil, and the saponifying agent is borax, not sodium silicate.
	12:54pm egould: $40 dollars at the manicurist, and she’s got my hand soaking in dish soap? The f~{k out of here with that s#!t.
	12:54pm rf: Basic like Ivory
	12:55pm Listener Robert: I used cold cream to remove stage makeup too. Ivory soap wouldn't do it.
	12:56pm woj: gonna play this archive and the shemp meditation tape at the same time tonight when i go to sleep...
	12:57pm rf: My brain is 110% washed
	12:57pm Editor B: OMGAG! "Wash your hands, Roger" — I'd forgotten all about this one
	12:57pm egould: Stop touching yourself, Roger.
	12:57pm Listener Robert: ↳ egould @12:54 That ad was based on actual practice. Manicurists would soften cuticles with soap water. Tiring of dissolving soap, they turned to the liquid they had handy - dish detergent.
	12:58pm attis: Roger's going to snap.
	12:58pm The Butterman: 1. Camay, all over heads, toes, arms, and elbows. 2. Skin so oily, makes it hard to ask for a date.
	12:58pm LouFancy: I can't tell if the ASMR is fading in and out or if my brain is just randomly filtering it out at times
	12:58pm egould: ↳ Listener Robert @12:57 Thank you, Robert. You’ve been exceptionally informative today. :-)
	12:58pm DjLorraine: Just not the original molten rock
	1:00pm Bonnie Prince Jamie: I already miss Roger
	1:01pm Jim: Is someone covering for Pseu today?
	1:02pm Andres: Dream Warriors!!
	1:03pm Listener Robert: ↳ egould @12:58 Did you like my adult bubble bath model, or did you prefer the Low children?
	1:05pm egould: ↳ Listener Robert @1:03 I liked the saponifying, actually.
	1:06pm TacoThursday: Nope. I’m out.
	1:08pm egould: ↳ TacoThursday @1:06 Quitters never win, winners never quit.
	1:08pm The Oscar: I don't know what everyone's talking about-- all I'm hearing is the Allman Brothers.
	1:09pm egould: My husband, some hotshot!
	1:09pm campground: ↳ Listener Robert @12:54 So, it's mayonnaise
	1:09pm woj: calgon, calgoff
	1:09pm Andres: I am reminded of when Kenny G was on the air. His show was my colleagues least favourite although none of them ever asked me to turn it off.
	1:10pm xtrakrispy: I presume bubble stations are not required to do a legal station ID?
	1:10pm prTaz: aaaghhh I have Misophonia and the sound is killing me! :(
	1:13pm egould: The “ring around ya’ colla’!” finally cracked my wife up.
	1:13pm Steve Mussolini: Maybe the station ID was embedded in the bubbles?
	1:15pm rf: regularlarly
	1:15pm timinoak: Someone wrote earlier, "better than NPR." I'm not sure of the context. But I'm going to repeat it here.
	1:15pm rf: ↳ timinoak @1:15 NPR pledge drives
	1:16pm LouFancy: There was a station ID, Pseu whispered it
	1:16pm popchop: I like it
	1:16pm Steve Mussolini: 99 44/100 Pure. The rest is nuclear waste.
	1:16pm SSS: 11/25ths
	1:18pm Listener: So is crunchy clean the theme till 3?
	1:19pm egould: ↳ Listener @1:18 Yes. Strap in.
	1:19pm Steve Mussolini: More hooks per minute than any other show previously
	1:20pm Magenta: Gotta say, as ASMR goes, I prefer this to the ones where they're talking really close to the mic and you can hear their saliva.
	1:20pm listener 126464: I didn't use my antperspirant today, and I may not use it tomorrow.
	1:20pm egould: Grease is the word.
	1:25pm Listener: Is Pseu even DJing this?
	1:25pm rob: The soap cutting is just the scalpel peeling back layers of my brain to put the old soap ads in
	1:26pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ rob @1:25 Is the soap cutting back???
	1:27pm 80sZuulScully: Oh my goodness. I just saw the more info. Three hours of Pseu's favorite ASMR...
	1:28pm Erica from Cranford: Hysterically refreshing!
	1:28pm PaulRobeson1923: Wow
	1:29pm 80sZuulScully: What was it like putting this playlist together
	1:29pm PaulRobeson1923: Soap
	1:30pm 80sZuulScully: I feel like this playlist is a very bold decision on Pseu's part and also I'm a little horrified. What is someone's brain like after listening to three hours of soap carving?
	1:30pm Bonnie Prince Jamie: Sop
	1:31pm RevWaldo: i.imgur.com...
	1:32pm 80sZuulScully: This is some kind of unexpected sonic experience, for sure
	1:33pm Roberto: When I was a young'n, these bloody Irish Spring commercials had me and my friends trying to talk with an Irish accent.
	1:34pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ RevWaldo @1:31 “Man is made of wicked gouts of blood”
	1:34pm 80sZuulScully: This is so weird and different and cool but now I feel like I'm caught in some tornado of soap carving...I'm going to take a break and come back
	1:35pm egould: You gotta’ wash yo’ ass!
	1:36pm dyljax: Is this art?
	1:38pm listener 126464: Your face my sink.
	1:38pm Mup Mahoy: This is how you fund raise?
	1:39pm timinoak: I'd like to think that is a recording of the sound that Hearty's time machine generates inside while it's trucking through time and space.
	1:40pm DjLorraine: We had Dial soap growing up.
	1:42pm timinoak: for some reason, I can see clearly now the rains are gone song is picking up in my noggin. Excellent. Love it.
	1:44pm egould: ↳ DjLorraine @1:40 I came from a Dove family. Now, I’m solidly an Alba Botanica guy. We’re a liquid soap on scrubber type of household.
	1:44pm timinoak: And entire generation programmed by businesses that paid for our entertainment.
	1:46pm SSS: .44 in decimal inches
	1:46pm prof.fuzz: ivory soap here, cuz eff the elephants and walruses!
	1:49pm timinoak: Now imagine the effectiveness of the fox message repetition.
	1:49pm egould: Ancient Chinese secret, huhh?!?
	1:49pm Magenta: ↳ DjLorraine @1:40 I use the yellow Dial soap for tattoo aftercare. It's really good for that and I love the smell.
	1:50pm Evan from Westfield: ↳ Magenta @1:49 that is the soap my artist recommended ten years ago and I haven't switched back since!
	1:51pm Dooba Jackson: Why soap?
	1:51pm bobobob plasticland: PSEU....your Gittin kinda wild today Huh ...loljaja
	1:53pm Steve from Dunwoody: Is this meant to give Joe McG's stinky singles from Monday a run for their money?!
	1:59pm Jack McGuire: Pledge til it squirts. Like Soft Soap©.
	1:59pm DjLorraine: I heard the original fomula Basic H is no longer available. My Dad drank a bottle to show how natural it is for the human body. He later admitted he will never do that again.
	2:00pm egould: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:59 Soft soap was revolutionary. Minds blown.
	2:03pm Steve from Dunwoody: Well, I just pledged and I feel cleaner already!
	2:04pm egould: I freaking love the ‘South Pacific’ soundtrack.
	2:05pm noahcarraker: love this show today
	2:05pm Erica from Cranford: Didn't Bucci do a show where he washed his face for an hour?
	2:11pm zopa: wtf is going on?!
	2:12pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ zopa @2:11 Gettin’ clean, baby
	2:13pm egould: ↳ noahcarraker @2:05 Splishin’ and a splashin’!
	2:13pm Roberto: Best station ID evah.
	2:14pm DjLorraine: ↳ Erica from Cranford @2:05 Aug 1, 2023
	2:15pm Panther: It’s shows like this that prove without a doubt that WFMU is the greatest radio station ever. If you listen and don’t make SOME KIND of contribution, you really need to look at that.
	2:15pm egould: ↳ Song: "wash up" by "bridget kearney" This is real nice.
	2:16pm bk845: "You got soap cutting ASMR in my Thing With A Hook!"
	2:16pm bk845: "You got Thing With A Hook in my soap cutting ASMR!"
	2:20pm zopa: @panther. agree to disagree. (respectfully)
	2:24pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: Positive Pseuland. this is one the Best shows I've heard out of you...Wow!!I'm Enthralled
	2:24pm bobob Plasticland: now Berthas big bubble Butt nice
	2:25pm Eddy Mudchucks: SOunds like their is a issue on station I thought it was radio on my end but when I check online stream mad static scratch
	2:26pm Eddy Mudchucks: everyone likes a fat ass
	2:26pm bobobobob: Erica...even that didn't help Buccci face
	2:27pm sydnius: ↳ Dan from Delco @12:05 Release that feline!
	2:28pm PaulRobeson1923: @Eddy: have tried this one? pledge.wfmu.org... if U cannot this time Around, that is OK baby
	2:29pm PaulRobeson1923: Radiant Beauty W F M U
	2:33pm Eddy Mudchucks: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @2:28 lmfao you have no idea how much back n forth in our office regarding the collective pleage , its happening soon
	2:34pm Brendan: Like Dawn ™️ dish soap, washing crude oil off waterfowl, this removes all of the earthly stressors.
	2:35pm PaulRobeson1923: SOAP it’s good for the blood
	2:36pm egould: And creams your skin…
	2:36pm rf: ↳ Eddy Mudchucks @2:33 That's fun!
	2:37pm The Butterman: Personally, I would have done a smell show but I’ll take this. I fell asleep around 1:09 and was in and out for a hour. I feel weird now.
	2:38pm Juli: Good Afternoon!
	2:39pm Eddy Mudchucks: We go hard on the WFMU from pigeon till work day is over except when "Champions League" is on jajaja
	2:42pm traven: I wonder if Fred and Alan have been listening in?
	2:43pm Juli: Yeah not a fan of this song either lol But I ain't mad
	2:43pm The Butterman: See, smellivision works - I smell some shit, someone better use Dial!
	2:44pm DjLorraine: My anticipation of Pseu's full voice (next week) has got me excited.
	2:45pm Magenta: Scott's got a tough act to follow this week, that's for sure.
	2:45pm DjLorraine: ↳ traven @2:42 Maybe it's just a slicer and wrappers.
	2:45pm Listener Robert: ↳ DjLorraine @1:59 The diarrhea must've been epic! I must admit that in an attempt to develop edible soap for an entrepreneur I swallowed just 10 grams of sucrose laurate -- and it was worse than for a colonoscopy prep.
	2:46pm rf: ↳ Juli @2:43 Cheers Juli! FWIW every music teacher I've ever had has shat on Depeche Mode
	2:46pm Juli: ↳ rf @2:46 Awe:::}
	2:47pm sydnius: ↳ rf @2:46 Even Vince?
	2:49pm rf: ↳ sydnius @2:47 Good question. Think it's more of a blanket hatred of depeche mode at peak popularity, so Vince is excused.
	2:50pm ?: what are all thoe crunchy noises
	2:51pm ?: is that intentional?
	2:51pm Daniel Donuts: ? Be glad you haven’t been here for the last 3 hours
	2:51pm Brick City Dirty Jersey: How can any one dance themselves clean with constantly checking antenna on a station thats haRD ENOUGH TO GET IN on a good had
	2:51pm rf: ↳ rf @2:49 But I wonder who the music teachers will poop on once the current generation of music teacher retires?
	2:52pm egould: Thanks Pseu. It’s been a wonderful morning of noise and noisy weirdness. Stay strange. And the rest of you weirdos; keep your hamstrings stretched!
	2:52pm sydnius: cool, I’m present company
	2:52pm Josh: What are those terrible noises? Cracking and popping
	2:53pm Feldy: My girlfriend has Misophonia so this would drive her insane
	2:53pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "dance yrself clean" by "lcd soundsystem" There's a YouTuber who makes the apparatus and instead of commercial foam fluid (which I tried my bubble mix tor as well), made his own liquid COCONUT SOAP for foam dancing. That shit's STRONG, you really could dance yourself clean with it, but you'd better strip your clothes and rinse yourself after.
	2:53pm rf: ↳ Feldy @2:53 Miss O'Phonia would be a great drag name
	2:54pm woj: this is gonna be a helluva back announce.
	2:56pm rsj: sonic soap seems to have the opposite effect
	2:57pm Andres: Gonna have to cue up a soap carving vid later. Thanks, Pseu!
	2:57pm sydnius: I see you are a sailor…
	2:58pm Vinny: So you want money for this??
	2:58pm The Butterman: Super Funtime awesome show, Pseu. Congratulations on all your success. You smell terrific!
	2:58pm egould: ↳ Vinny @2:58 Yes. Pledge now.
	2:59pm common: what insanity is this?
	2:59pm Feldy: ↳ rf @2:53 LOL
	2:59pm SeaCreature: This show beat clay’s relentless boomerisms to a bubbly pulp!
	12:27am Fred and Alan: ↳ traven @2:42 No we didn't listen was at work
	3:35pm paul: This show needed Blue Soap by Associates

	12:04pm bluecharlie: Just a little soap please, don't want to get to dry...🫧

	12:05pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Erica from Cranford @12:04 hi erica!
	12:05pm Dan from Delco: This freaked my wife out. She just walked in to it, and thought one of the cats was stuck in a drawer.
	12:06pm prof.fuzz: this takes me back to that time we all thought the planet was being invaded my martians...
	12:06pm Oli: Getting all lathered up in Berlin!
	12:06pm Jeezuseffinchrist: free form indeed. welp, I'm gonna check on WKDU

	12:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: "I'll wash your mouth out with soap!" 🧼 Didn't have to tell me twice.
	12:07pm Panther: This is fantastic
	12:07pm Erica from Cranford: ↳ Dan from Delco @12:05 LOL
	12:08pm Spankyflop: I remember there was a TV show called "No Soap Radio" that lasted 5 episodes in 1982. en.wikipedia.org...
	12:08pm PaulRobeson1923: Hi Hi Hi
	12:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I don't think this is the soap cutting woman but you never know
	12:09pm swivs: Came back to my apartment and thought my speaker had died. Then the crunching started in and everything is fine now, perfectly fine.
	12:10pm Niko, Copenhagen: Soap Opera?
	12:10pm -жеи: It sounds like they are carving styrofoam
	12:11pm Webhamster Henry: Soap bars going steady.
	12:11pm UFOspecialist: Reminds me of when Ken and Andy were only broadcasting to me only. Everyone else got Almond Brothers.
	12:11pm BerkeleyGuy: Songs for swinging soap bars
	12:11pm Niko, Copenhagen: A radio with soap can give some hope
	12:12pm Niko, Copenhagen: when the whole world says "nope" try with Pseu and some soap
	12:13pm Niko, Copenhagen: Should I stop or continue with my soap poems?
	12:13pm Dances with Moomins: No soap radio!
	12:15pm sydnius: salt peanuts salt peanuts
	12:15pm Susan: Irish spring?
	12:16pm Mi-rgod: Mipseuphonia!
	12:16pm Niko, Copenhagen: I wonder, if I died, if my wife would miss WFMU? Lets say she found a new guy who listened to some mainstream pop music. Would she like: "I miss Niko, he was a more sophisticated man with a more sophisticated taste". Or would she be like: "what a relief - normal music, finally.... "
	12:16pm Niko, Copenhagen: - be like
	12:17pm UFOspecialist: ↳ Niko, Copenhagen @12:16 I think about this all the freakin' time"!
	12:17pm sydnius: ↳ Niko, Copenhagen @12:16 what’s amusing me is Pseu is usually safe for me. She loves the R&R. Ambient, environmental, and ASMR would not be in her top 10.
	12:18pm Niko, Copenhagen: ↳ UFOspecialist @12:17 Ha ha. Great. Im not the only one...
	12:18pm xtrakrispy: It takes a certain type of person to commit these sounds to vinyl. It takes another type to play it. Still, it takes another, to play it on the air. No judgement.
	12:19pm nathan: this is going to be my new go-to broadcast when people ask why i'm a pledger
	12:19pm chuck friendly: At one point I thought my computer was on fire for a good 17 seconds
	12:19pm pgalub: Soapy hooks for days!
	12:20pm Travisano66: I hope someone's going to use all that soap.
	12:20pm UFOspecialist: ↳ Niko, Copenhagen @12:18 my gateway drug was listening to Hearty White while cooking dinner. 2011 or 2012 living in Brooklyn, all the windows open during the dead of winter. Hearty blasting out the windows. Wife telling me to turn this weird stuff off. Now she is hooked all these years later.
	12:23pm Steve Mussolini: I get a call like this every once in a while from someone’s pocket. I have to listen to it all
	12:23pm UFOspecialist: Townes Van Zandt has a song about bubbles.
	12:24pm Niko, Copenhagen: ↳ UFOspecialist @12:20 I have Serious Moonlite Sonatas on here every Sunday morning (Danish time) and my son always has this one friend up who lives two apartments below. Shes always like: what is this!? And I'm like pranking them and hiding the radio in the room where they play...
	12:25pm Slaz: What the f Pseu? What are we listening to?
	12:25pm pwrmnstr: musique concrete - hellz yerrrrrrrrrr
	12:26pm Marie in Queens: Is this cleaning out, my dirty, filthy mind? I have to admit, the sounds are growing on me (like foam) but I don't understand what is being done to/with the soap...
	12:27pm Rob from Bermuda: Sue, just tuning in now. Am I not hearing correctly, or are you pretending to be Lawrence Welk, “and break a those bubbles!”
	12:27pm pwrmnstr: it's being gently massaged with a contact mic
	12:27pm Rob from Bermuda: Sorry Pseu. Autocorrect
	12:27pm Gainstager Liquid: I guess this is where we are at
	12:27pm L Clay: Too commercial
	12:27pm Gainstager Liquid: it doesn't feel quite binaural
	12:27pm Adi br: Dang it Marie ! You did it again
	12:28pm woj: pstrength through failure.
	12:28pm rf: F. had a soap collection and very thin ears
	12:28pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Adi br @12:27 wha', who me?
	12:28pm Faux Jean: Pseu’s thing with a sud?
	12:28pm Jack McGuire: Damned skippy I'll pledge for this!
	12:29pm rsj: fundraising technique to rival kenny G
	12:29pm Daniel Donuts: I can’t take it much longer…. I’m giving it all I’ve got
	12:30pm Marie in Queens: there's something about the frequencies and timing--like it is registering in some kind of pattern that makes my brain want to yawn
	12:30pm UFOspecialist: Better than NPR...
	12:31pm rf: Field recording from SoapCon 2023
	12:31pm the serpent: This isn’t annoying at all
	12:32pm DjLorraine: "Do the freshen up!"
	12:32pm Steve Mussolini: I need another 2.5 hours of this pleez
	12:32pm RevWaldo: Think I'll chew on some tinfoil while listening to this.
	12:33pm BVP: My shrooms kicked in.
	12:33pm Marie in Queens: I think David Lynch would prolly like this
	12:35pm timinoak: More Kermit please.
	12:35pm RevWaldo: media.tenor.com...
	12:36pm LouFancy: This is what I imagine military psyops plays over loudspeakers. I switched to headphones so I can enjoy it fully.
	12:37pm timinoak: That is a tuba in that Dial commercial. I approve.
	12:37pm SeaCreature: I’ll be sure to use Dial before the endless trek to the knockdown center
	12:37pm Jerry: Hello Pseu, Are you responsible for the open mike noise we’re hearing on your program? While I love your show, i may have to turn the radio dial.
	12:39pm Marie in Queens: these ads really are like brainwashing...
	12:39pm timinoak: That potato chip eating sound needs tuba.
	12:39pm egould: ‘Bubble Bath’ by Muncie Girls ‘If You Must’ by Del the Funky Homosapien (not suitable for terrestrial radio airplay)
	12:40pm Trey: You rule. Coffee is at Marlboro today. I MISS YOU! You rule
	12:40pm Magenta: The cleanest show on radio so far.
	12:40pm campground: I'm getting so much work done
	12:40pm Listener Robert: Bill Z. Bub's not doing his Dum-Dum act (which he did just a couple weeks ago), so I get to indulge my foam loving. Here's my friend Nadine using my formula bath foam -- web.archive.org...
	12:40pm egould: More tuba.
	12:41pm timinoak: Jesus, the commercials in the 70s... I have thought that some of my last thoughts will be someone cutting a can with a ginsu knife or cutting open a bar of Irish Spring. Or hanging from a beam with glue. No kidding,. Always there.
	12:41pm SeaCreature: Can we get some Palmolive? You’re soaking in it!
	12:41pm Rocky Mountain Harry: Hey kids! Just remember... "...no matter how bad it gets."
	12:43pm SeaCreature: ↳ egould @12:40 It’s 99 and 44/100% pure!
	12:43pm timinoak: ↳ egould @12:40 Right.
	12:43pm DjLorraine: (Foaming agent)
	12:44pm Listener Robert: My friend Don here can't believe the commercials are for art's sake. He figures either somebody's making money off them or you're playing them as incentive to the audience to provide something better.
	12:44pm egould: Hey wait! The last commercial was playing up the “cream” angle. This one is denigrating cream. What gives?
	12:45pm LouFancy: Ivory soap ordered a pumpkin latte today, it's basic... like you!
	12:45pm DjLorraine: What even was cold cream?
	12:46pm timinoak: There it is. My people.
	12:47pm Miketp: just showered...listening .hi pseu & friends.
	12:47pm egould: ↳ timinoak @12:43 Played tuba in high school marching band. So, I’m a little biased. That reminds me; I should go on Reverb and buy a tuba. I’m sure my wife will enjoy that.
	12:48pm Listener Robert: ↳ DjLorraine @12:45 Cold cream is called that because it's an oil-in-water emulsion, so it feels cold on skin because the water is open to evaporation. Typically it's made from beeswax, sodium silicate, and mineral oil. The beeswax is partly saponified by the silicate.
	12:48pm listener 126464: There's a man in my bathtub!
	12:48pm timinoak: ↳ egould @12:47 That's awesome! Yes.
	12:50pm Steve Mussolini: Soap soap soap! What a scam. Haven't used it in years. https://www.efolio.soton.ac.uk/blog/sg1d14/files/2015/02/mythologies.pdf
	12:51pm egould: You’re soaking in it.
	12:51pm SeaCreature: Thanks, Madge!
	12:52pm rsj: palmolive cleaned our bong in college, been a true believer ever since
	12:52pm DjLorraine: ↳ Listener Robert @12:48 Thanks. As a child i had to use it to take off stage makeup.I felt soothing and then greasy. I don't even wear makeup these days.
	12:54pm Listener Robert: ↳ Listener Robert @12:48 Darn, Wikipedia says I'm wrong. It's water-in-oil, and the saponifying agent is borax, not sodium silicate.
	12:54pm egould: $40 dollars at the manicurist, and she’s got my hand soaking in dish soap? The f~{k out of here with that s#!t.
	12:54pm rf: Basic like Ivory
	12:55pm Listener Robert: I used cold cream to remove stage makeup too. Ivory soap wouldn't do it.
	12:56pm woj: gonna play this archive and the shemp meditation tape at the same time tonight when i go to sleep...
	12:57pm rf: My brain is 110% washed
	12:57pm Editor B: OMGAG! "Wash your hands, Roger" — I'd forgotten all about this one
	12:57pm egould: Stop touching yourself, Roger.
	12:57pm Listener Robert: ↳ egould @12:54 That ad was based on actual practice. Manicurists would soften cuticles with soap water. Tiring of dissolving soap, they turned to the liquid they had handy - dish detergent.
	12:58pm attis: Roger's going to snap.
	12:58pm The Butterman: 1. Camay, all over heads, toes, arms, and elbows. 2. Skin so oily, makes it hard to ask for a date.
	12:58pm LouFancy: I can't tell if the ASMR is fading in and out or if my brain is just randomly filtering it out at times
	12:58pm egould: ↳ Listener Robert @12:57 Thank you, Robert. You’ve been exceptionally informative today. :-)
	12:58pm DjLorraine: Just not the original molten rock
	1:00pm Bonnie Prince Jamie: I already miss Roger
	1:01pm Jim: Is someone covering for Pseu today?
	1:02pm Andres: Dream Warriors!!
	1:03pm Listener Robert: ↳ egould @12:58 Did you like my adult bubble bath model, or did you prefer the Low children?
	1:05pm egould: ↳ Listener Robert @1:03 I liked the saponifying, actually.
	1:06pm TacoThursday: Nope. I’m out.
	1:08pm egould: ↳ TacoThursday @1:06 Quitters never win, winners never quit.
	1:08pm The Oscar: I don't know what everyone's talking about-- all I'm hearing is the Allman Brothers.
	1:09pm egould: My husband, some hotshot!
	1:09pm campground: ↳ Listener Robert @12:54 So, it's mayonnaise
	1:09pm woj: calgon, calgoff
	1:09pm Andres: I am reminded of when Kenny G was on the air. His show was my colleagues least favourite although none of them ever asked me to turn it off.
	1:10pm xtrakrispy: I presume bubble stations are not required to do a legal station ID?
	1:10pm prTaz: aaaghhh I have Misophonia and the sound is killing me! :(
	1:13pm egould: The “ring around ya’ colla’!” finally cracked my wife up.
	1:13pm Steve Mussolini: Maybe the station ID was embedded in the bubbles?
	1:15pm rf: regularlarly
	1:15pm timinoak: Someone wrote earlier, "better than NPR." I'm not sure of the context. But I'm going to repeat it here.
	1:15pm rf: ↳ timinoak @1:15 NPR pledge drives
	1:16pm LouFancy: There was a station ID, Pseu whispered it
	1:16pm popchop: I like it
	1:16pm Steve Mussolini: 99 44/100 Pure. The rest is nuclear waste.
	1:16pm SSS: 11/25ths
	1:18pm Listener: So is crunchy clean the theme till 3?
	1:19pm egould: ↳ Listener @1:18 Yes. Strap in.
	1:19pm Steve Mussolini: More hooks per minute than any other show previously
	1:20pm Magenta: Gotta say, as ASMR goes, I prefer this to the ones where they're talking really close to the mic and you can hear their saliva.
	1:20pm listener 126464: I didn't use my antperspirant today, and I may not use it tomorrow.
	1:20pm egould: Grease is the word.
	1:25pm Listener: Is Pseu even DJing this?
	1:25pm rob: The soap cutting is just the scalpel peeling back layers of my brain to put the old soap ads in
	1:26pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ rob @1:25 Is the soap cutting back???
	1:27pm 80sZuulScully: Oh my goodness. I just saw the more info. Three hours of Pseu's favorite ASMR...
	1:28pm Erica from Cranford: Hysterically refreshing!
	1:28pm PaulRobeson1923: Wow
	1:29pm 80sZuulScully: What was it like putting this playlist together
	1:29pm PaulRobeson1923: Soap
	1:30pm 80sZuulScully: I feel like this playlist is a very bold decision on Pseu's part and also I'm a little horrified. What is someone's brain like after listening to three hours of soap carving?
	1:30pm Bonnie Prince Jamie: Sop
	1:31pm RevWaldo: i.imgur.com...
	1:32pm 80sZuulScully: This is some kind of unexpected sonic experience, for sure
	1:33pm Roberto: When I was a young'n, these bloody Irish Spring commercials had me and my friends trying to talk with an Irish accent.
	1:34pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ RevWaldo @1:31 “Man is made of wicked gouts of blood”
	1:34pm 80sZuulScully: This is so weird and different and cool but now I feel like I'm caught in some tornado of soap carving...I'm going to take a break and come back
	1:35pm egould: You gotta’ wash yo’ ass!
	1:36pm dyljax: Is this art?
	1:38pm listener 126464: Your face my sink.
	1:38pm Mup Mahoy: This is how you fund raise?
	1:39pm timinoak: I'd like to think that is a recording of the sound that Hearty's time machine generates inside while it's trucking through time and space.
	1:40pm DjLorraine: We had Dial soap growing up.
	1:42pm timinoak: for some reason, I can see clearly now the rains are gone song is picking up in my noggin. Excellent. Love it.
	1:44pm egould: ↳ DjLorraine @1:40 I came from a Dove family. Now, I’m solidly an Alba Botanica guy. We’re a liquid soap on scrubber type of household.
	1:44pm timinoak: And entire generation programmed by businesses that paid for our entertainment.
	1:46pm SSS: .44 in decimal inches
	1:46pm prof.fuzz: ivory soap here, cuz eff the elephants and walruses!
	1:49pm timinoak: Now imagine the effectiveness of the fox message repetition.
	1:49pm egould: Ancient Chinese secret, huhh?!?
	1:49pm Magenta: ↳ DjLorraine @1:40 I use the yellow Dial soap for tattoo aftercare. It's really good for that and I love the smell.
	1:50pm Evan from Westfield: ↳ Magenta @1:49 that is the soap my artist recommended ten years ago and I haven't switched back since!
	1:51pm Dooba Jackson: Why soap?
	1:51pm bobobob plasticland: PSEU....your Gittin kinda wild today Huh ...loljaja
	1:53pm Steve from Dunwoody: Is this meant to give Joe McG's stinky singles from Monday a run for their money?!
	1:59pm Jack McGuire: Pledge til it squirts. Like Soft Soap©.
	1:59pm DjLorraine: I heard the original fomula Basic H is no longer available. My Dad drank a bottle to show how natural it is for the human body. He later admitted he will never do that again.
	2:00pm egould: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:59 Soft soap was revolutionary. Minds blown.
	2:03pm Steve from Dunwoody: Well, I just pledged and I feel cleaner already!
	2:04pm egould: I freaking love the ‘South Pacific’ soundtrack.
	2:05pm noahcarraker: love this show today
	2:05pm Erica from Cranford: Didn't Bucci do a show where he washed his face for an hour?
	2:11pm zopa: wtf is going on?!
	2:12pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ zopa @2:11 Gettin’ clean, baby
	2:13pm egould: ↳ noahcarraker @2:05 Splishin’ and a splashin’!
	2:13pm Roberto: Best station ID evah.
	2:14pm DjLorraine: ↳ Erica from Cranford @2:05 Aug 1, 2023
	2:15pm Panther: It’s shows like this that prove without a doubt that WFMU is the greatest radio station ever. If you listen and don’t make SOME KIND of contribution, you really need to look at that.
	2:15pm egould: ↳ Song: "wash up" by "bridget kearney" This is real nice.
	2:16pm bk845: "You got soap cutting ASMR in my Thing With A Hook!"
	2:16pm bk845: "You got Thing With A Hook in my soap cutting ASMR!"
	2:20pm zopa: @panther. agree to disagree. (respectfully)
	2:24pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: Positive Pseuland. this is one the Best shows I've heard out of you...Wow!!I'm Enthralled
	2:24pm bobob Plasticland: now Berthas big bubble Butt nice

	2:26pm Eddy Mudchucks: everyone likes a fat ass
	2:26pm bobobobob: Erica...even that didn't help Buccci face
	2:27pm sydnius: ↳ Dan from Delco @12:05 Release that feline!
	2:28pm PaulRobeson1923: @Eddy: have tried this one? pledge.wfmu.org... if U cannot this time Around, that is OK baby
	2:29pm PaulRobeson1923: Radiant Beauty W F M U
	2:33pm Eddy Mudchucks: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @2:28 lmfao you have no idea how much back n forth in our office regarding the collective pleage , its happening soon
	2:34pm Brendan: Like Dawn ™️ dish soap, washing crude oil off waterfowl, this removes all of the earthly stressors.
	2:35pm PaulRobeson1923: SOAP it’s good for the blood
	2:36pm egould: And creams your skin…
	2:36pm rf: ↳ Eddy Mudchucks @2:33 That's fun!
	2:37pm The Butterman: Personally, I would have done a smell show but I’ll take this. I fell asleep around 1:09 and was in and out for a hour. I feel weird now.
	2:38pm Juli: Good Afternoon!
	2:39pm Eddy Mudchucks: We go hard on the WFMU from pigeon till work day is over except when "Champions League" is on jajaja
	2:42pm traven: I wonder if Fred and Alan have been listening in?
	2:43pm Juli: Yeah not a fan of this song either lol But I ain't mad
	2:43pm The Butterman: See, smellivision works - I smell some shit, someone better use Dial!
	2:44pm DjLorraine: My anticipation of Pseu's full voice (next week) has got me excited.
	2:45pm Magenta: Scott's got a tough act to follow this week, that's for sure.
	2:45pm DjLorraine: ↳ traven @2:42 Maybe it's just a slicer and wrappers.
	2:45pm Listener Robert: ↳ DjLorraine @1:59 The diarrhea must've been epic! I must admit that in an attempt to develop edible soap for an entrepreneur I swallowed just 10 grams of sucrose laurate -- and it was worse than for a colonoscopy prep.
	2:46pm rf: ↳ Juli @2:43 Cheers Juli! FWIW every music teacher I've ever had has shat on Depeche Mode
	2:46pm Juli: ↳ rf @2:46 Awe:::}
	2:47pm sydnius: ↳ rf @2:46 Even Vince?
	2:49pm rf: ↳ sydnius @2:47 Good question. Think it's more of a blanket hatred of depeche mode at peak popularity, so Vince is excused.
	2:50pm ?: what are all thoe crunchy noises
	2:51pm ?: is that intentional?
	2:51pm Daniel Donuts: ? Be glad you haven’t been here for the last 3 hours
	2:51pm Brick City Dirty Jersey: How can any one dance themselves clean with constantly checking antenna on a station thats haRD ENOUGH TO GET IN on a good had
	2:51pm rf: ↳ rf @2:49 But I wonder who the music teachers will poop on once the current generation of music teacher retires?
	2:52pm egould: Thanks Pseu. It’s been a wonderful morning of noise and noisy weirdness. Stay strange. And the rest of you weirdos; keep your hamstrings stretched!
	2:52pm sydnius: cool, I’m present company
	2:52pm Josh: What are those terrible noises? Cracking and popping
	2:53pm Feldy: My girlfriend has Misophonia so this would drive her insane
	2:53pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "dance yrself clean" by "lcd soundsystem" There's a YouTuber who makes the apparatus and instead of commercial foam fluid (which I tried my bubble mix tor as well), made his own liquid COCONUT SOAP for foam dancing. That shit's STRONG, you really could dance yourself clean with it, but you'd better strip your clothes and rinse yourself after.
	2:53pm rf: ↳ Feldy @2:53 Miss O'Phonia would be a great drag name
	2:54pm woj: this is gonna be a helluva back announce.
	2:56pm rsj: sonic soap seems to have the opposite effect
	2:57pm Andres: Gonna have to cue up a soap carving vid later. Thanks, Pseu!
	2:57pm sydnius: I see you are a sailor…
	2:58pm Vinny: So you want money for this??
	2:58pm The Butterman: Super Funtime awesome show, Pseu. Congratulations on all your success. You smell terrific!
	2:58pm egould: ↳ Vinny @2:58 Yes. Pledge now.
	2:59pm common: what insanity is this?
	2:59pm Feldy: ↳ rf @2:53 LOL
	2:59pm SeaCreature: This show beat clay’s relentless boomerisms to a bubbly pulp!
	12:27am Fred and Alan: ↳ traven @2:42 No we didn't listen was at work
	3:35pm paul: This show needed Blue Soap by Associates
