Four and Twenty: Ken's show

Listener comments!

🚽

6:14am -Ken:

Good morning my friends! Anybody got a title for last week's show?

6:14am cory:

morning kens and non-kens

6:15am cory:

"The Anti-Barenaked Ladies Show"?

🚽

6:16am -Ken:

uhhhhh no.

6:17am cory:

eh, worth a shot.

🚽

6:21am -Ken:

The Jodorowsky GIF is the biggest one yet. Maybe it will crash the website even before the show starts.

6:33am cory:

i really dig the watercolour

6:35am cory:

okay, off to work. hopefully the wifi is working today

🚽

6:35am -Ken:

off to work?!

6:37am cory:

the life of a chef is a glamorous one

6:53am Mark S:

hey it's 420 yo

🚽

6:56am -Ken:

Yeah - any 420 requests?

7:01am Mark S:

Black Sabbath - “Sweet Leaf”

7:04am Mark S:

Neil Young - "Roll Another Number (For the Road)"

7:17am FœFœ (:

Morning, Ken, cory, Mark S!

I'd like to kindly request political commentary about Trump's comeback, Nicholas Miglio's 'Hurray for the USA' to celebrate it, the customary Vinyl recap, the talking Egg GIF and the return of the squeaky chair.

🚽

7:47am AnAnonymousParty:

Howdy from the cloudy central mid-west area, y'all.

7:59am Jack:

Ken, if you were to play some of the music that Nachum plays, maybe some of his listeners would stay on to hear your show. Play some Lipa Schmeltzer.

🚽

8:07am -Ken:

The American Lipa Schmeltzer, or the British Lipa Schmeltzer?

8:23am Marcel M:

Woah... that Jodorowski clip tho. Can feel his anger like what.

Morning Ken and Co.

8:25am sphere:

good morning people - i figured it out! <snap snap>

8:26am sphere:

how to get on the comments early, that is.

8:28am Marcel M:

Shit, Ken, Sphere got in... you gotta send out another badge.

8:28am Listener Robert:

I got rid of Edge by rolling back Win 10 to Windows 8.1 .

8:29am Cliff:

Good morning everyone, I've been lurking but now I'm awake enough to type stuff

🚽

8:33am Ken From Hyde Park:

I heard Drumpf did pretty well yesterday. Lots of registered Democrats purged from voter rolls apparently dented Bernie's numbers in Brooklyn, reports say.

8:33am Cliff:

And Jodorowsky didn't break my favorites page, but he is making my laptop's fans spin up!

8:34am Marcel M:

Jodorowski for prez

8:36am Cliff:

There were two people when I went to vote who could not be found on the list, despite how much they insisted they were supposed to be there...

8:37am Torbjørn:

Morning, Ken and non-Kens. Tongue-in-cheek jazz-rock outfit Cloroform has released a new album, "Grrr", which might be worth a listen. I was at their show last weekend, and when they played "This is a hit", I was reminded that it might be a good fit for this show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaaBeVH5XB4. As for 420 references, one could play the whole of Sleep - Dopesmoker. Might even make time for both a bathroom break and an apple !

8:38am FœFœ (:

My favourite Jodorowski anecdote is when he declared himself being the founder of the analmancy, the art of reading the anus which required the subjects to sit in a photocopy machine and print a copy of their buttholes. Some crazy fans took that for serious and promptly send him photocopies of their buttocks hoping Alejandro will reveal them something.

Having said that I hope is now your favourite Jodorowski anecdote as well.

8:41am Listener Robert:

I associate 4/20 with WFMU because of driving in Branch Brook Park during cherry blossom time with WFMU on. When WFMU wasn't on, it was because we were in Dr. Hill's car & listening to the news about the Okla. City bombing.

🚽

8:41am Ken From Hyde Park:

Presenting a list of 4/20 songs: www.billboard.com...

8:43am Listener Robert:

That was NOT a request of "Cherry Blossom Time", however.

8:43am FœFœ (:

I predict Bernie Sanders' resented Democrats are going vote for Trump and eventually take him to the White House in their attempt to prevent a Hillary presidency.

You heard it here first.

8:43am Marcel M:

Ken, if you played Dopesmoker in its entirety you'd be the coolest dopesmoker in town. But you could also just play Dragonaut by Sleep for a nice 420 shoutout.

8:47am Cliff:

FœFœ, I like your fœcal Jodorowsky anecdote, brings new light to that bit in The Holy Mountain

8:48am Listener Robert:

Also, don't interpret my remark as a request of "Oklahoma". If someone recorded Don Meinshausen's version with the lyrics about the Okla. City bombing, though, be my guest.

8:51am sphere:

evidently Cannibal Corpse did a song called "Blunted At Birth." haven't heard it yet but i am quite curious....

8:51am Marcel M:

You could also play I'm Straight by Modern Lovers to really throw it int he stoner's faces.

8:52am sphere:

sorry, i was looking at a T-shirt for "Cannabis Corpse." my bad.

8:53am Listener Robert:

Oklahoma, where the sound blast comes sweeping down the plain
And the broken glass is up to my ass, and the rubble keeps slowing down my crane;
Oklahoma, where each night my honey lamb & I
Sit alone & talk, & watch like a hawk for the Ryder trucks coming by.
Now we don't want your guns to be banned,
But in case you have something else planned,
That's when we say, "I wish you'd go away."
We're saying, "Please stop bombing Oklahoma, Oklahoma KOed."

8:55am Wild Neil:

@Ken-I SECOND Marcels suggestion for I'm Straight. Perfect for 4/20. Maybe also Okie From Muskogee by Merl Haggard? ("We don't take LSD in Texas" or something....)

8:56am FœFœ (:

I have another Jodorowski anecdote you might also like, Cliff.

John Lennon and George Harrison were big Jodorowski fans and friends as well. Anyway, the latter wanted to take a role in the Holy Mountain but then he later backpedaled when the scene he was supposed to film required him to show his butthole next to an hippopotamus. Jodorowski replied Harrison: 'You need to overcome your ego and show your anus'.

8:56am Aaron in Minneapolis:

What movie is that carousel gif from?

8:56am Listener Robert:

Wow, Okie from Muskogee thematically touches BOTH pot & the OK City bombing. A 4/20 1-2 punch!

8:58am Wild Neil:

Hey, I'm not just another ignorant Catholic Pro-Life Right Wingnut.

8:59am Listener Robert:

See if Cheri Pi is out there & can suggest something that references cherry blossoms, other than "Cherry Blossom Time".

9:00am SeanG:

Morning Ken and folks!

9:01am cory@work:

high again

9:01am Marcel M:

Well I guess I'll have to light up earlier than normal today. Its not much earlier tho... don't worry.

9:02am w41:

Is Ooh Vah La by Ween a 420 request? If so, can you play it? There's no FCC-prohibited words I promise Ken!

9:02am Listener Robert:

Anyway, kids...STAY AWAY from Windows 10.

9:02am doctorjazz:

Wow, way behind on the comments board at 9:02.

9:03am Wild Neil:

PEACE everybody. Back in the 80's everyday was 420...and if I ever get cancer you better bet edibles are in my diet, legal or not. I hear Chemo sometimes isn't so clear cut....

9:04am Cliff:

Haha FœFœ, that's a good one! I'll remember that line the next time someone tries to talk to me about "transcending the ego"

9:04am Listener Robert:

I know, that man will try to push Win 10 on you, but just say no.

9:05am annie:

damn i didn't take a deep enough breath for that second roll..

9:05am Marcel M:

I couldn't get my mother to smoke while she was going through Chemo... My sister and I tried but she just refused. Still feel like it would have helped her (she is alive and well FYI).

9:06am Marcel M:

YESSSS!!!!!!

9:07am sphere:

OMG!

9:07am Marcel M:

He layered like 20 guitar tracks for this record.

9:07am Wild Neil:

This song was in the Broken Flowers (with Bill Murray) movie soundtrack. Pretty heavy...

9:07am Polyus:

Dare you to play the whole thing.

9:08am Listener Robert:

I know, Edge seems at 1st like it's sharp, but then you'll find there are many things you can't do while you're on it. And then one day your brain just freezes up & the world stands still, and you wonder why you went there.

9:09am MD:

Good Morning my band of Merry Pranksters!
Remember....IT AIN'T OVET 'TIL IT'S OVER...XOXO!!!

9:10am Barney Grubbs:

added a tetrahydrocannibol structure to organic chemistry slides lecture this morning

9:11am Cliff:

Listener Robert, is Win10 really that bad? I've got it on a machine I don't use very much...

9:11am MD:

it's da cannibol you gotta worry about!

9:13am Marcel M:

Oh no... I think my brain finally fucking broke..

9:13am Listener Robert:

Seriously, Cliff, I can't say Win 10 is that bad per se, but the browser it comes with, Edge, is pretty awful -- although I'm not sure whether it was Edge or Win 10 that was finally responsible for the jam in disc R/W traffic. I didn't try another browser with it. I rolled back to Win 8.1 & am using MSIE.

9:13am coelacanth:

goo morning Ken and all

9:14am FœFœ (:

Oh, people!

Everybody knows Windows is like a Door's Greatest Hits album. Made for housewives and little girls. Get yourself Linux!

9:15am w41:

You must be kidding, freebsd is where it's at

9:16am FœFœ (:

If I'm not mistaken the Happy FLowers tune was played by the US Army to torture peope in the Iraq war.

9:16am Listener Robert:

I was a Linux user, but Windows came pre-installed on this laptop that I don't own, and I was afraid to make it dual-boot because it didn't come with Windows install'n media, nor a removable disc drive to reinstall it, in case I messed up the partitioning.

9:17am Cliff:

Oh ok, I don't even bother with MS browsers, I put Opera on my Win10 machine. And I'd love to be using *nix but there aren't any drivers for the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive :(

9:17am Chris:

Mr. Freddy Jack - "Tijuana Grass" (Gold Standard Records)

9:18am coelacanth:

haha! dopesmoker just sat and chilled through the whole meltdown!

9:18am Marcel M:

My friend is a Linksys user. I was always like, dude you also need a computer... not just a router.

🚽

9:18am Ken From Hyde Park:

Watching some cartoons right about now sounds like a pretty good idea.

9:19am Listener Robert:

Marcel, do you get free Wi-Fi off your friend's Linksys?

9:20am tomasz.:

morning Ken and friends! happy 20/4!

9:20am Marcel M:

No he bogarts it with a password...

9:21am Brendan:

I found an excellent browser called Goat.

9:22am Listener Robert:

Too bad, Marcel. The neighborhood used to use Linksys from somebody across the street who kept a chicken (that crossed the road to get to the other side when somebody put out chicken feed) and got his back shaved in the upstairs window.

🚽

9:23am Webhamster Henry:

I run three or four browsers all the time so I can quarantine the cookies. The old WFMU site could be read with Lynx.

9:24am Marcel M:

Wow thats what this is... I couldn't figure it out. Jesus...

9:24am tomasz.:

why on earth are we talking about browsers on Weed Day

9:25am Brendan:

Goat loves to browse on weed.

9:25am coelacanth:

i let someone wipe my xp out (years ago) for linux. with no support that i could comprehend. it was like having my hands tied up. after trying and giving up for over a year i gave up and reinstalled xp. (only WITHOUT all the "virus protection") and it still works now. but it's very slow, as it always was; & big, and loud.

9:26am Andrew Waterloo:

It's kind of funny that whenever Metallica turn distortion off they only know the A chord.

9:26am steveo:

Browsers are helping come down off that Cartoons song.

9:26am Cliff:

Well I was talking about virtual reality, which becomes more "immersive" (as the kids like to call it) with weed

9:26am bobdoesthings:

hello

9:26am SeanG:

LOUTALLICA

🚽

9:26am -Ken:

Hi Bob!

9:27am Wild Neil:

@Tomasz....dude....I forget...what? What was the question again? *cough*

9:27am Listener Robert:

I'm trying to remember if I ever visited WFMU's site when I used to dial in to a shell to use its Lynx. I was told the compression was enough to stream WFMU audio over an audio modem cx, but didn't want to tie up my phone line.

9:27am coelacanth:

my main now is a snowleopard macbook...but it's failing big time now. i'm willing to try linux again but i don't think i can use it in a macbook.

9:29am tomasz.:

@Wild Neil: question? i asked a question? whoa

9:29am P-90:

@Aaron in Minneapolis: the carousel gif is from the climactic scene in Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train" (1951, adapted from Patricia Highsmith's novel), in which the operator of a merry-go-round at an amusement park is accidently shot during the pursuit of a murderer, and it spins wildly out of control, to the distress of many of the adult passengers on the ride, and the delight of one or two kids who think it's the coolest thing ever.

🚽

9:29am -Ken:

Marcel, walk any good dogs lately?

9:29am FœFœ (:

I officially declared "Junior Dad" has passed the test of time with high honours.

9:31am Listener Robert:

P-90, is that what they parodied in the concluding episode of "Due South"?

9:31am bobdoesthings:

whoa it IS weed day.. I forgot that was a thing. I picked a good day to take off! so much for my plans for the day....

9:32am FœFœ (:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSERS SHOUTERS!!!

9:33am Marcel M:

@Ken: Indeed! And I shall be again later. I got Poodles, labs, pitbulls... mostly mutts, which I prefer.

9:33am coelacanth:

...and i played sweetleaf on the jukebox at the bar last night, having not considered herb day.

9:34am Lizardner Dave:

Please tell me there will be a Vinyl season finale recap.

🚽

9:34am Webhamster Henry:

@Robert, before WFMU was streaming, there was a phone number set up as an experiment (and forgotten) at Bell Labs that you could call to hear WFMU.

9:34am sphere:

@Marcel - Mutts are easier to handle?

9:34am bobdoesthings:

@marcel do I know some of these sexy mutts you speak of?

9:34am Cliff:

And yesterday was Bicycle Day. I forgot about that one.

9:34am Marcel M:

@Shepere - No, I just have a soft spot for them and usually find them the cutest.

9:34am Wild Neil:

@Tomasz-Are you Polish? My wife was born in Podlasie, and studied and lived in Lublin...

9:34am coelacanth:

what are they chanting in there? we have a right to know...

9:34am Marcel M:

@Bob: Of course!

9:35am tomasz.:

awww. i love all dogs equally but labs slightly more than the others

9:35am Brendan:

Thought that chanting was the RNC

9:36am tomasz.:

Neil, nah, i'm British tbh. not nearly as interesting. i've been rocking this spelling for so long i can't remember why now

9:36am Michele:

Hey guys!

9:37am Wild Neil:

Torture is not cool.

9:37am tomasz.:

hiya Michele!

🚽

9:37am Webhamster Henry:

Footnotes for Ken's mic break:
blog.wfmu.org...

9:38am Mark S:

The season finale!

9:38am MD:

one day at a time my friend...

9:38am Sam:

Ken, if you're panicky, you need to smoke MORE.

9:38am Roberto:

Vinyl recap YES! Best part of the show, and better than the show itself could ever hope to be.

9:38am Marcel M:

Ken, did you follow me around and do a field recording?

9:38am tomasz.:

dog music!!

9:39am Marcel M:

Wow this is great!

9:39am Laura L:

Friend of mine in L.A. would play Happy Flowers very, very loud to torment bad noisy neighbors who tormented her. Effective.

9:39am Sean from Bridgeport:

I am paniky that this is the last Vinyl recap for awhile.

9:40am MD:

I love these lyrics..."I want a treat...I wanna go out!"

9:41am FœFœ (:

Is this free-range dog music? Because I only listen to happy dogs music.

9:41am Sam:

What would Bach have composed if he could have sampled dogs?

9:41am dei xhrist:

Oh Kenneth, how I have missed your Kermit like voice now that I have a job where I can't peanut gallery all Wednesday morning. But as my closest co-worker is out, let the confusing audio distractions fly!

9:41am Mark S:

don't forget "A ride in the car? YEAH I want to go for a ride in the car!"

9:42am Sam:

FoeFoe, I think those are the Luftwaffe Glee Club dogs

9:45am Listener Robert:

This one reminds me: Isn't it cute how NJT mimics that bell clanging electronically in their "engine" puller car?

9:45am Lizardner Dave:

"Hey, how do you spell Gourmandizers". Almost threw a brick through my TV. Can't wait for season 2.

9:46am bobdoesthings:

Ken - what's today's 4/20 S7D gonna be about?

9:46am FœFœ (:

I once read the Nazis tried to train dogs to talk, read and spell to win WW2.

9:47am Cliff:

Hey I remember hearing this song somewhere....

9:48am Marcel M:

Oh man this song is so awesome.

9:49am Sam:

If dogs could talk they'd probably speak German. Or French.

9:49am Marcel M:

I think I'll have to buy this LP.

🚽

9:51am AnAnonymousParty:

I can only image what it would be like if my dog could talk. "Can we go outside and play ball? Can we? Can we? I know where there's a racket ball under the deck. I can go get it? Can we go ride in the car? I love to ride in the car. I didn't chew up your shoe, I think I saw your wife with it behind the garage. Oh look, a squirrel. Let's get it!"

🚽

9:54am -Ken:

Bob, Andy Breckmanman want to learn how to make a viral video and that is the topic for SSD tonight. So I want everybody to call up and say that the surefire way to make a video go viral is to INCLUDE FERRETS.

9:54am bobdoesthings:

when I was a youngster I would imagine a world where dogs tranformed into people with developed human personalities and tried to imagine what their individual characteristics would be if they were indeed human..like the last dog we had.. I imagined we would have been very tall, a bit dismissive, kinda sarcastic, with a bit of a quarky side where he'd make faces and stuff.

9:55am Marcel M:

I think if my cat could talk he would still just say meow.

9:55am Andrew Waterloo:

you really can imagine a dog just rambling all day long and then suddenly falling asleep.

9:55am Marcel M:

But like in a human voice. Meow.

9:55am Brendan:

Hi Ken,
Fantastic sounds today.

9:56am Marcel M:

@Bob: you just described your adult self.

9:56am Dan B From Upstate:

Ken, I enjoyed your questions in yesterday's Andy Breckman Reddit AMA. Pretty much the only thing that disappointed me about his AMA is that his reddit username wasn't AndyBreckmanMan

9:56am bobdoesthings:

@ken - oh of course ferrets!

@marcel I agree.. then he'd go find that egg! (he loves that egg!)

9:57am bobdoesthings:

@Marcel - oh shit! you're right

🚽

9:57am Webhamster Henry:

SSD: maybe a 15 minute talk with Internet Time Wasting Expert Kenny G could help with the viral video show?

🚽

9:58am AnAnonymousParty:

Nah, cats would be, "Let me out. Nope, now let me in. No that's not right either, let me back out. Oops, now I want back in. Hmmm, no, let me out after all. Hey, what's that?" Licks left rear knee for 5 minutes.

🚽

9:58am -Ken:

Henry, maybe. If it included ferrets, perhaps.

10:01am sphere:

note to self: start Rent-A-Ferret service.

🚽

10:02am -Ken:

Lately it just feels like every other viral video includes ferrets.

10:02am coelacanth:

if i personify dogs i end up not liking certain breeds, like goldens, for their selfishness,greediness, and gluttony. i try to not do that.

10:03am Mark S:

My cat would say "eat eat eat food food food NOW!"

10:04am Marcel M:

White Noise, awesome

10:05am common:

yes!

10:05am FœFœ (:

I thought Seven Second Delay already went viral. But in a T-cell Lymphoma virus kind of sense. That is, a virus having a latency of 20 to 30 years.

10:06am Listener Robert:

Fred the Cat around here would A any Q, "Yeah!"

10:06am coelacanth:

oh no, that gif!...clowns freak me out!

10:07am Andrew Waterloo:

@coelcanth: weird, I've always thought of Goldens as the volunteer kindergarten teachers assistant.

10:09am Listener Robert:

It appears the Swag For Life logo is "A" in Morse.

10:10am sphere:

my cat would use context to chat: "me me ME (near bowl) me ME ME (near toy) me me ME!" (in lap)

10:10am Ĩkє:

They fired the showrunner, so are you *sure* you know what'll happen in season 2?

10:11am coelacanth:

Andrew - they're generally very good with children, and not likely to get violent, so yeah...i like your analogy. i wouldn't want my child in-between a golden retriever and a chunk of bread though!

10:11am Sam:

Maybe ferrets infected with the Zika virus? Cover Andy with peanut butter and let them loose on him?

10:12am Michele:

Love the Vinyl recap!

10:12am Listener Robert:

Oh. The larger version makes clear it's a radio w antenna, big knob, & linear dial. On the comments it just looks like ".-"

10:12am Okasa:

I hope Ken and all Ken's Krew enjoy a happy April 20th, which has absolutely no special significance beyond being a normal Wed morning, as far as I know.

10:13am common:

wow! writing!

10:13am Dan B From Upstate:

I hope this segment gets spun off into it's own podcast like simpsons time.

10:14am FœFœ (:

Richie Finestra is more like a time traveler than music producer. He's always there to witness every musical milestone coming out of the late 20th century.

10:14am MD:

And the Cops are on Dope/Coke too!!

10:14am Mark S:

The F word? You mean flounce furiously?

10:15am Mark S:

IT"S CBGBs!

10:15am Marcel M:

hahahhahahhahahahhahahhahah

10:15am bobdoesthings:

oh man vinyl recaps!

10:15am tomasz.:

CBGBs? omfg!

10:16am MD:

aren't we all glad that in 100years we will all be gone!?!?

10:17am sphere:

these recaps have been the highlight of my week.

10:17am MD:

Oh My F&%KIN Unisex God! (OMFUG)

10:18am Billy London:

Phew! I almost missed the vinyl recap!

10:18am Polyus:

I saw the mock CBGB bathroom at the MoMA Punk exhibit a few years ago, and I can say this show is historically accurate!

10:19am Wild Neil:

@Polyus-my God it was the WORST bathroom in the Western Hemisphere.

🚽

10:19am Webhamster Henry:

CBGB's incarnation, 2016:
gothamist.com...

10:22am Ike:

I've never seen this godawful-sounding show. Now that I've heard the recap, I retract my previous comment. Even a new showrunner probably can't help. Especially if Mick Jagger is not-so-secretly really in charge anyway.

10:23am JP from KC:

NOOO! I missed the Vinyl recap?! Damn. Looks like I'll have to get caught up in the archives.

10:24am tomasz.:

this is great

10:24am Sam:

You didn't miss anything. A bunch of dudes did coke, invented disco, had a threeway, and opened a club. Stuff like that.

🚽

10:25am -Ken:

Oh! And I totally forgot the part where Richie engages in two minutes of name dropping, mentioning Alsion Steele, Carol Miller, Lester Bangs, Pat St John, Jimmy Fink, Scott Muni and on and on. Two minutes!

10:26am Polyus:

@Neil - kidding aside, I was not as horrified by the real thing as I thought I would be. I saw some really, really disgusting things when I used to tour though. Sinks full of vomit from the night before, clouds of flies, that sort of thing.

10:26am FœFœ (:

My favourite Vinyl's recap so far was from last week when, according to our narrator Ken, Richie Finestra and friends invented disco.

10:26am Dan B From Upstate:

I picture Ken watching this show and just laughing throughout the entire thing at how awful (and borderline pretentious) it is.

10:29am Andrew Waterloo:

Surely they've kept pushing that pretentiousness over the borderline

10:29am Blix:

Should petition Ken's observation..."Vinyl" to be re-titled "How Cool Is That?!?" for season 2. Of the so many little scenes that epitomize Vinyl's oeuvre and ethos, the one of grown men giddily spray painting cursewords to moronic cheers is perhaps the best metaphor for the whole series.

10:30am Mark S:

Was Vin Scelsa mentioned? If not I bet Vin is still pouting.

10:31am Marcel M:

Yr Killin' it Kenneth

10:32am Okasa:

I don't know many of the gifs, but the dancing around the bonfire gif is from Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress.

10:32am bobdoesthings:

OH MY GOD.... I cleaned my bong out last night with rubbing alcohol.. and I just dumped the rubbing alcohol out and washed it out in my sink.... and couldnt figure out why it still smells... the pipe underneath the sink is poorly assembled and all the rubbing alchol bong water poured out udner my sink. :( bad start to my 4/20

10:35am Sam:

Bobdoesthings - it's good that you discovered your sink is leaking though.

🚽

10:36am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'll bet "Vinyl on Broadway" would be a sell-out theater production. Can someone get on that?

🚽

10:37am -Ken:

Bob, best thing to do now is just burn down the house.

10:37am bobdoesthings:

@sam - mmeehh.. nah I knew they weren't setup well and have had them jiggle out of place before. Told landlord months ago to no avail.

10:37am JP from KC:

Poor bob. That'll learn ya. Next time dump that shit in the toilet.

10:37am Mark S:

That's what Richie F would do

10:40am Marcel M:

I thought this was William Shatner

10:40am Sam:

Spray it all over your landlord's door.

10:40am JP from KC:

Sweet Jesus. This is glorious. I must have it.

10:41am Cliff:

Iggy and Shatner should do a spoken-word collab if they haven't already

10:42am Sam:

I'd like to hear a rap battle between Shatner and Morgan Freeman.

10:43am βrian:

Too bad that's not the Blind Pig he popped into.

10:43am Cliff:

Did Iggy ever cover Bohemian Rhapsody?

10:44am Polyus:

Young Gods, heck yeah.

10:45am JP from KC:

A damn fine 4/20 show you've got going today, Ken!

10:45am βrian:

"Qui m'a planté son dard" ?

10:47am Wild Neil:

@Polyus-I was a taxi driver for one day in Buffalo. Hanging out in a McDonalds parking lot [on the East Side of Buffalo] in the shade I was invaded by a couple of junkies. Also, the McDonalds urinal had poop in it. Yuk! The East Side is not the best part of Buffalo....kinda like the South Bronx in the 80's...

10:48am Listener Robert:

Qu'est-ce qu'un dard?

10:49am βrian:

Ceçi n'est pas un dard.

10:52am bobdoesthings:

if anyone needed an update.. I cleaned everything out under my sink and all is well in my world.

10:53am sphere:

glad to hear bob. maybe a little incense wouldn't hurt at this point. :)

🚽

10:53am Ken From Hyde Park:

For planning purposes, the next time 4/20 is a Wednesday will be in 2022.

10:54am Sam:

Until the next time you use the sink!

10:54am Mark S:

Tres bien bobdoesthings

10:54am Cliff:

bobdoesthings, I had my sink leak like that once. I learned the hard way not to use a bucket taller than the pipes to catch the drip...

10:55am Sam:

Bob, my theory is that making a mess is good, because then you clean, which you probably needed to do anyway. I spilled wine all over my floor, and now my floor looks better than it has in a while.

10:55am bobdoesthings:

thanks all,

@cliff - I might have to go bucket shopping! good idea, Thanks

10:56am bobdoesthings:

@sam - hahaha did you intentionally spill the wine thinking "You know this floor should get mopped"

10:56am Sam:

Subconsciously.

10:58am tomasz.:

oh my god

10:58am Cliff:

I never want to hear this again.

10:58am Mark S:

The Donald is celebrating 420

10:58am Mark the Sardine:

We're gonna need a "Jeff Goldblum slowed down" chaser.

🚽

10:59am Webhamster Henry:

Wow he sounds really Trumpy this way!

10:59am tomasz.:

President Someone's Drunken Grandpa

10:59am Andrew Waterloo:

I had study a Youtube video for french class and the guy sounded very drunk at 50% speed.

10:59am Listener Robert:

The point is that alcohol found a leak that wasn't obvious with water.

11:00am jamesie:

genuine LOLs! Trump

11:00am bobdoesthings:

hahahahahahahah this is amazing... and scary

11:00am βrian:

Hey, Ukraine had an Orange Revolution. He should love them just for that.

11:00am Sam:

He sounds like a drunk wiseguy. "Deeze fuuuuuckin' guuuys!"

11:00am sphere:

Listening to this makes my eyes feel red.

11:00am KP:

This is the way he always sounds, at least to me.

11:00am JP from KC:

@Mark the Sardine: YAAASS!

11:01am FœFœ (:

Very good point, Listener Robert. The benefits of alcohol.

11:01am Listener Robert:

We used to just use analog tape to produce a drunk sound by slowing it by that factor, but apparently the drunk effect still works if it's digitally pitch corrected.

11:02am bobdoesthings:

@listener robert - indeed, thanks fellow 'bob'.

11:02am jamesie:

genuine LOLs!!

11:02am Bill W:

Are Bronwyn and Jim going to be armed?

🚽

11:02am Webhamster Henry:

Sportsy Talk is the closest thing to a news show on WFMU!

11:03am Sam:

I get my news from Glen Jones and X-ray.

11:03am MD:

Sportsy Taulk Goes GOP!!!! YESSSS!!!
That will be great!!!

11:03am Cliff:

If they can get in that'll be one of the best Sportsy Talk episodes ever!

11:04am βrian:

You should get Clay in on that team.

11:04am Cliff:

And yeah, Gwenno! Really need to get this album.

11:04am Mark the Sardine:

@JP from KC, here's the classic "drunk Jeff Goldblum" - www.youtube.com...

11:08am JP from KC:

Holy shit, Mark! I'm about to piss myself. "You're the creator of... You're the purveyor of..." Priceless!

11:09am Cliff:

I just switched my charity on smile.amazon.com to Auricle Communications, I think it's about time I ordered some rekkids...

11:10am Drugas:

Puff Puff fellow Ken tokers ... hey hey, hey hey marijuana marijuana, hey hey

11:10am βrian:

Is that furry guy man-spreading?

11:10am FœFœ (:

Great GIFfery as usual, Ken.

Does anyone here remember the pre-GIF times when Ken used to put a video for each of the songs played in the playlist?

11:14am Brendan:

Thanks Ken havent heard Joy Wellboy since you rotated it awhile back. My wife hated her voice saying she sounded drunk, to which I said 'exactly'.Beautiful controlled voice, like drunk style kung fu. And now Dva . You are the man.

🚽

11:14am -Ken:

Good point Brian. He is. I wonder what Andy Breckman's position is on man spreading...

11:15am DJ_Guy:

Happy holiblaze peerless leader!

🚽

11:15am -Ken:

Thank you Guy!

11:16am Lewis:

Is that Wesley Willis doing the crate digging?

11:18am Marcel M:

This Camera Obscura song takes me back to working at Tower on Rt. 17. We played this constantly when it came out.

11:19am Uncle Michael:

It's gorgeous.

11:22am Cliff:

Camera Obscura got played on college radio all the time in Ithaca when I was living there....much happier times *sigh*

11:22am courtneynoir:

Waving my lighter in the air at work ...

11:22am P-90:

Irma Thomas classes up any playlist. No matter how (ahem) flawlessly classy it may already be...

11:23am Sam:

There are a lot of Cliffs in Ithaca.

11:23am JP from KC:

Ahoy, Uncle Michael! Ready to see the Cubbies trounce the Shitbirds again?

11:23am Ike:

Black Mirror is a great show but it's a BBC show.

11:24am Sam:

The Czech Republic should modernize a little and become the Debit Card Republic.

🚽

11:24am Marshall Stacks:

The Czech Republic has a new official nickname: Czechia.
www.economist.com...

11:24am Ike:

NOT a BBC show, I meant... dammit. NOT.

🚽

11:24am Ken From Hyde Park:

Clay Pigeon has no shortage of material for his Dusty Show tomorrow. Between the primary election and 4/20 activities, there is much to chose from. Here is his Bernie Sanders show that didn't air last Thursday. www.wfmu.org...

11:25am Cliff:

Yes Sam, but they call them gorges there. Hence the t-shirt, "Ithaca is Gorges". (One year at the Ithaca Fest parade, I saw a gal in the Chainsaw Marching Band wearing a t-shirt that said, "Vagina is Gorges", ha!)

11:25am Wild Neil:

My wife said the Czech republic is the most atheistic place she ever saw...and there were lots of whores.

11:26am Mark S:

The old record fair space was kinda lacking in the area of air

11:26am courtneynoir:

I FINALLY get up the Northeast and the dang Record Fair is a week before my trip :(

🚽

11:27am Webhamster Henry:

They want the Unofficial English name to be "Czechia", so it fits on posters and Tschochkes (Czechskes?) more easily. In German , Czechoslovakia used to be "die Tschechei", which was a lot easier on the tongue (if you can already do "ch").

🚽

11:28am AnAnonymousParty:

George's gorge in Georgia's gorgeous, I hear.

11:28am Brendan:

Sounds great -how much is a 1 way ticket to Chech

11:28am Ike:

It was Channel 4; now it's a Netflix exclusive. 12 new episodes in the works!

11:28am Sam:

As long as they're changing their name, why not sell the naming rights and just become Pepsistan.

11:29am Cliff:

I just tell people I'm moving to Bohemia in the summer, and when they go "Huh?!", I start singing, "Is this the real life...or is it just fantasy......"

🚽

11:29am Ken From Hyde Park:

So ... people from Czechia are called Czechers?

11:29am βrian:

Why not just "Czech-R"?

11:30am JP from KC:

@Webhamster Henry: I laughed way harder at "Czechskes" than I should have. I thank you.

11:31am FœFœ (:

What about Czech Rephublic?

11:32am Dave in Vermont:

Hoping for Paul Reubens to play Ted Cruz in sketch comedy or a biopic.

🚽

11:32am Webhamster Henry:

@JP I gotta million of 'em!

11:33am Murakami Whywolf:

I got here late; could anyone give me a URI to that Jodorowsky image? Thanks.

🚽

11:34am -Ken:

Here you go Murakami: blogfiles.wfmu.org...

11:35am Cliff:

Supposedly in (The) Czech(ia) (Republic) you can have in your possesion up to 15 grams of pot, 5 hits of LSD, and/or 10 grams of cocaine without getting arrested.

🚽

11:35am -Ken:

Hey Murakami, what a great idea! I should post links to all the TOO BIG GIFS

11:37am P-90:

Isn't "Czechia" so close to "Chechnya" that it could cause confusion? Also, didn't they already shorten their name, from "Szpellczech Republic" or something?

11:37am βrian:

Will Ted ever find that bogel for his glotch?

🚽

11:38am -Ken:

Here are a fwe more:

11:38am Cliff:

Bwaahahahaha, "Szpellczech"

11:38am Murakami Whywolf:

I was about to ask that of you; very considerate, S.M. Ken.

11:39am bobdoesthings:

I get spellcheck when I spell Szpellczech

11:40am FœFœ (:

P-90

Yeah. They were once the Czhekurszpell Republic

11:40am Murakami Whywolf:

Why not post them at the top, in the main frame? Easier for people to play catch-up early on.

11:41am bobdoesthings:

Is the Szpellczech Republic filled with grammar nazis??

11:41am βrian:

He *seems* Czech, but does he pass the SmellCzech?

11:41am Murakami Whywolf:

Nothing makes you love Seattle like playing North Carolina.

11:41am Cliff:

You mean the Szmellczech

11:42am βrian:

Just submit @bob. You'll be glad you did, and your prose will shine.

11:43am Murakami Whywolf:

@bobdoesthings
Only the Szúdénlánd. (Attempting Magyar spelling for it.)

11:44am Ike:

Was that a song about the Pulitzer-winning New Yorker article about the inevitable earthquake that will destroy the Pacific Northwest?!? Cool. That's so topical of Tacocat.

🚽

11:46am -Ken:

True Ike! Tacocat should spend some time watching tsunami videos on YouTube if they want a preview of the good times.

11:46am Cliff:

And then there was the short-lived Szpiekundszpell Suzerainty

11:47am Listener Robert:

Cliff, you mean the Schmechczeck.

11:47am Dan B From Upstate:

As a Slovak, I'll just sit back and enjoy all of the jokes made about my former countrymen in the Czech Republic.

11:47am JP from KC:

I am rapidly falling in love with Heron Oblivion.

11:48am bobdoesthings:

article @Ike speaks of -- www.newyorker.com...

11:48am Dr Rummick:

I just want to say, 'Good luck, and we are all counting on you'

11:48am Marcel M:

Psyched for this Heron Oblivion show at Monty.

@Bob: you should get at ticket.

11:49am Mark S:

keep in mind that the New Yorker article in question is what they call a "longread"

11:50am bobdoesthings:

@marcel - ahh perhaps i shall.

11:51am Nick S.:

So you did check out Guerilla Toss! I love em.

11:52am P-90:

@bobdoesthings: the Szpellczech Republic isn't full of grammar Nazis, it was full of grammar Commies. May seem like no big difference to you and me, but don't get them started on the subject...

11:53am Mike East:

@bobdoesthings, thanks for the link...I think I missed that one.

11:53am bobdoesthings:

@p-90 - hahaha

@mike east - dont thank me, thank @Ike. I just did the google

11:54am krissy b:

What a 4/20 treat

11:54am Ĩkє:

Thanks @Bob. I meant to post that link but I was too busy monopolizing the market on audiobooks and such.

11:55am Cliff:

Thanks for the show today Ken, it's giving me lots of good ideas for my rekkid-buying spree

11:55am Mike East:

oh yeah, thanks @ike.
still, thanks, @bobdoesthings...I wouldn't have googled myself cuz I'm lazy like that.

11:56am 1ke:

Also, New Yorker TV critic Emily Nussbaum won a Pulitzer for her epic takedown of Vinyl. Well, not specifically for that article but I'm sure it didn't hurt. All her work is excellent.

11:58am P-90:

And that New Yorker article an the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault is a brilliant, quick and easy read, highly reccommended; because it tells you all about something important, and is a Hell of an example of how to tell all about something important.

11:58am tomasz.:

great show today Ken

11:58am FœFœ (:

SCHLAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMPPPPPEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIITTTTTTZZZZZZIIIIIIGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

By the way, Schlammpeitziger is pronounced:

SCHLAMM as in Scam
PEIT as in Peter
Tziger as in Tiger

So basically is like saying Scam-Peter-Tiger

I know this for sure because I did a German basic course in 1998.

11:59am bobdoesthings:

thanks Ken, great show! happy weed day or whtever.

11:59am JP from KC:

Superb show, Ken! Can't wait to get over to the archives and hear everything I missed before I got in.

11:59am Ike:

www.newyorker.com...

11:59am bobdoesthings:

let's NOT forget the super volcanoe in yellowstone that will supposedly destroy more than half the global population.. (definitely all of america)

11:59am James:

OMG Ken you're playing 'Sailing By'- i fall asleep listening to that every night on radio 4 in the UK

12:00pm FœFœ (:

Thanks, Ken! Fantasticz szhow! Till next episode!

12:00pm Mike East:
