Courtney will have a very special in-studio guest on tonight's program. You will meet this guest during the first mic break. You will be surprised and charmed!
Avatar 12:52pm
Davee:

Is the guest Irwin C.?
Avatar 2:55pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

You mean the Irwin C. who used to DJ on WFMU back in the 1990s? No, he hasn't been seen around the Codger's yard for quite some time. It is unlikely you will correctly guess Courtney's visitor this evening.
  3:03pm
Listener Robert:

Is it R. Crumb? That'd really be something.
Avatar 3:28pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney and Crumb had a spat years ago and are not on speaking terms. Crumb doesn't like any music after 1932, while Courtney acknowledges the value of recordings up to 1948.
Avatar 3:30pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Also, there was a scandalous incident involving Crumb alone in Sophie Tucker's dressing room while Courtney left briefly to pick up some Chinese takeout. Again, Crumb was ALONE—Sophie wasn't even present—yet the incident shocked everyone who learned about it.
