	6:08am dday: Good Morning. Yesterday 6AM : My love had a giant black bear walk by her just feet away from where she was sitting on the deck having coffee.. Whew!
	6:12am Amanda: Whew is right!
	6:13am dday: Last night, a big fat raccoon was hanging out on the deck rail. Chased him off...the cats were going nuts
	6:14am dave wuz here: my dog has no nose!
	6:16am bootnick: Wasn't gonna comment, because WFMU knows they're great, but then they had to go and play Butthole Surfers while I tend to the garden at sunrise, fairly high on beer and pot.
	6:24am YETI BOB: bootnick - i just got my copy of Paul Leary's "Born Stupid" LP in the mail, haven't spun it yet.
	6:33am bootnick: I'm an animal!!!
	6:33am StringOFperils: Don't get your dander up. I'm allergic
	6:34am bootnick: human cooking over an open fire here in Canada
	6:37am Cooh John: Good morning Jim, Amanda, and manimals everywhere.
	6:43am mick: Pretty clear we just need to import some predators just
	6:46am StringOFperils: The animals that don't belong where they are, are the ones that erase all the other ones, while thinking that they belong there instead, which they do not. I leave it to you to work this out.
	6:47am Doug in MP: Importing predators, what could go wrong?
	6:48am Amanda: @dave wuz here How does he smell????
	6:49am StringOFperils: Weirdest Wire cover ever.
	6:51am Rob from Maryland: @StringOFperils, I totally agree!
	6:53am dday: Flannel shirt morning in Shohola, PA. I'll have to wait to finish my outdoor painting project until it warms up a bit :)
	6:56am Will a Sound Guy: Good morning Amanda, Jim, and all!! Doug, always reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons with the importing of predators...
	7:00am micah: will there be any crotch crickets songs during this pestilence set?
	7:01am mick: You know what the wise old man says: you can’t import too many predators!
	7:01am Jim the Poet: Some of my best friends are crotch crickets
	7:01am StringOFperils: I like this, it kind of reminds me of Eskimo, by The Residents....like a lullaby for bottle-flies
	7:01am alanSixº: whose gonna write the first spotted lanternfly song? or did they already
	7:01am micah: Jim that does not surprise me
	7:02am alanSixº: oh jeez i just looked at the playlist - is "lanternfly" about the invasive ones?
	7:03am alanSixº: mornin jim, amanda, micah, everyone
	7:05am micah: whoa nice reference to jalapeno chips!!
	7:05am dday: Humans have a unique ability to f up nature wherever they tread. An invasive species will eventually go from predator to prey. Let nature work it out.
	7:07am Damselfly: Freya the celebrity walrus is in danger! Everybody tell your Norwegian friends to back off! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62518331
	7:07am HyperDose: Good morning glisteners. Nice to see you amigo Alan!
	7:08am Rob from Maryland: A most excellent poem, Jim!
	7:09am StringOFperils: That fly was a Columbia exchange-student
	7:09am alanSixº: hola HD - yeah jim the poet you really captured the lanternfly buzz
	7:09am Jim the Poet: uh oh
	7:09am Jim the Poet: don't squash me
	7:11am Amanda: Hey to everyone chiming in this morning! You can invade our playlist anytime!
	7:14am HyperDose: Don't know how but I get lantern flies on my balcony all the time. Stuck the vacuum out the door yesterday but it took evasive maneuvers 😑
	7:16am dday: It's like weeds...who decides a plant is a weed ? The lawn & garden police? Just because humans don't like it's presence on their suburban lawns or in their gardens , suddenly it's an invasive species, ready to grow to unbelievable proportions and most likely..EAT US ALIVE ;)
	7:17am dday: The pictures are for their evil Facebook profiles
	7:18am StringOFperils: They should keep them all inside the Statue of Liberty's lantern, to light the way for newcomer insects.
	7:19am dday: Excellent Idea String : a bit about them: Often mistaken for ticks (as babies) or moths (as adults), the spotted lanternfly is neither. Instead, it is known as a “hopper” and grows its wings only in the adult stage.
	7:20am alanSixº: if it extremely throws the ecosystem out of balance due to a lack of predators - so like the deer in essex county are eating all the nature reserves like south mountain reservation and mills reservation because their are no wolves around to keep their population in balance - so like hawks were reintorduced to parts of new jersey to balance the squirrel and chipmunk populations and that worked out well - but yeah no species invades with the effect of us humans so its funny that we get to decide whats "invasive"
	7:21am alanSixº: and i am all for reintroducing wolves to essex county NJ but thats gonna be a hard sell :)
	7:22am Rob from Maryland: Beetles are not bugs. True bugs are in the order Hemiptera (which comprises the old orders Heteroptera and Homoptera). Beetles are in the order Coleoptera.
	7:25am HyperDose: Wolves are the sharks of the land 😍
	7:35am Tusalava: str8 up Moose Facts.
	7:36am micah: nothing worse than bad quebcoise accents
	7:37am StringOFperils: Kinda Cal-Mex Quebecoise
	7:46am TDK60: Saturday greetings.
	7:47am melinda: Morning friends
	7:47am dday: Most of what urban dwellers consider invasive is such because humans have destroyed the habitat they once called home. I'll never forget seeing a deer running down rt 21 in Newark & thinking, poor thing, he's got nowhere to call home anymore
	7:48am YETI BOB: i see lots of rabbits in chicago
	7:49am Strandlund: Good Morning Animals!!
	7:49am alanSixº: yeah dday - there was a bear on south orange avenue in newark a few years ago!
	7:49am HyperDose: wild wolf!
	7:49am alanSixº: it made its way down from south mountain reservation in south orange
	7:50am YETI BOB: "Their numbers have risen dramatically since the 1990s, when Mayor Daley’s various greening projects began to invite more woodland creatures into an urban environment. Drawn by the elevated heat level of the city, rabbits began spreading from parks into grassy areas like expressway ramps, and even made their way into the Loop."
	7:53am dday: @alan: the summer resident (citiots) that come here, leave their garbage all over outside their homes & then complain "there's a bear problem." I can't wait until they leave for the year. So much more peaceful when they are gone (guns, loud music, drunken fighting etc.)
	7:55am dday: as we await the NEXT pandemic..take a look: https://weather.com/news/trending/video/relaxing-video-shows-pool-in-china-packed-with-visitors-and-pool-floats
	7:56am slugluv1313: greetings, Amanda! Jim! been listening, digging (getting ready to head out for kitty sitting ! 🐱🐱) i have noticed Lantern Flies mostly around newer buildings -- last year, all over the side of one of the high rises near the 9th Street light rail station in Hoboken -- and this year, tons of them around that 80 story building near Exchange Place (marketed as "the tallest building in New Jersey") (next day i saw a dude spraying some sort of insecticide, on the trees outside the building too) -- a friend pointed out that maybe the Lantern Flies had laid eggs in some of the construction materials -- ?? but stomping them, killing the Lantern Flies? i just cannot do that -- mainly because my brain completely short-circuits whenever humans refer to another species as "invasive" and "destructive" -- how much damage have we done to Polar Bears, Monarch Butterflies, Bees, etc., all in the name of "progress"? -- and of course if i got caught sabotaging logging equipment, i would be arrested and labeled an "eco-terrorist" 🌱🌿🌲
	7:56am dday: Did this guy just say he was apologizing for pouring gas on his dog!!!!!
	7:57am StringOFperils: Coyotes range near here in downtown Toronto now, but I never see or hear them. Only their work. And they eat someone's pet now and then, so that gets attention. They travel the river valleys, next to the express routes. They're like ghosts.
	7:58am alanSixº: dday at the jersey shore they call the city invaders "bennys" for Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York City
	7:58am dday: They are scoping out the Hoboken high rises for new digs and their eventual take over of NYC :)
	7:59am alanSixº: gotta sign off ill be listening in the yard with the rats and lanternflies - have a good day yalls
	8:00am YETI BOB: I'm familiar with the term "Benny" but never heard that etymology before. Hmmm.
	8:00am HyperDose: Yasss Slug! My building is 5yrs old and they're all over the place. Missy likes to sit in front of the door and "hunt" them haha
	8:02am YETI BOB: Bandcamp says "Letter to my dog" is by IFEEL ifeel.bandcamp.com...
	8:03am YETI BOB: who is from Croatia, it seems
	8:03am dday: There's a local HOA around here (I'm not part of) but I attended a few of their "lake health" meetings. After listening to these clowns go on & on about what algaecide is best to dump in the lake to clear the water from being brownish (especially along the shore where many lakefront owners rake their leaves directly into the lake in fall). I said "why don't people stop raking their leaves into the lake. That will stop the browning as what you see are naturally occurring tanins from leaf decomposition (think tea). They told me I'm not a member so I have to leave. SMFH
	8:04am slugluv1313: @dday -- exactly! my Mom HATED seeing dead deer on the side of the road, and one even died in back of the house because -- hunters 🤬🤬🤬 when i was growing up though, we rarely saw deer -- and yes, the house we lived in was invasive too, but there was a farm behind our "property," and tons of wooded areas . . . until much of it was destroyed in order to build mcmansions
	8:05am JohnEBGood: Happy Saturday WFMU family. Peace ; )
	8:09am slugluv1313: hiya HyperDose! oh yes the cats LOVE them! 😹😹 last year, was cat sitting where the cats had access to a roof garden/deck -- i noticed them eyeballing something but could not figure out what -- until i saw a Lantern Fly walking about
	8:09am YETI BOB: I once rescued a baby bird that fell out of its nest. I put it in a basket in a tree near where I found it, lined with soft cloth. The mother came and rescued it.
	8:09am PigeonsAndRust: Not forcing water on a bird is very important! Birds can't cough, so trying to give it water with an eyedropper will just give it aspirational pneumonia
	8:12am slugluv1313: @dday -- yup! like humans complaining about "wildlife" getting into their trash -- DUH! i grew up in "the sticks" and everyone basically took preventative measures so that would not happen (like not throwing away food, for one thing!)
	8:12am dale: hey now. i've wrapped a few birds that crashed into a window in a warm towel out of the dryer until they've come back around. one was a red bellied woodpecker, neat to hold...
	8:20am Kathleen from JC: Good morning everyone! It’s a lovely crisp morning here. I’m going to enjoy some coffee outside with the cats, squirrels, and birds.
	8:21am slugluv1313: thank you for the bird rescue information!!! Wild Bird Fund (in NYC) and The Raptor Trust (in NJ) have a lot of helpful tips too when i was little, we rescued a baby Robin -- my Dad built a wooden crate for the little guy, my Mom and sister and i fed him earthworms -- TOTALLY drove the cats nuts! 😸😸 . . . we would take him outside, eventually he must have known he was "grown up" enough, and he flew away
	8:22am Jim the Poet: This show is educational af
	8:23am JohnEBGood: NJoy Kathleen.
	8:24am ?: Hello, all! This morning is my chance, finally, to find out what this "Bad Animals" program is about. (Are they really all bad? or are they all really bad?)
	8:25am TDK60: The hippity hop rhythms of the Color Green species makes me think it is of the order Dead Gratefulisis.
	8:26am Listener John from NJ: Don't know why my comment listed my name as " ? " -- strange . . .
	8:27am ryansterlingvirtue: One of my fav pulp songs
	8:28am Listener John from NJ: @ryansterlingvirtue: This is really wonderful, I think.
	8:29am YETI BOB: "Just like a dog" ? - really, Jarvis?
	8:31am StringOFperils: He's a Cocker spaniel
	8:31am David F: The Raptor Trust in NJ is a good resource - Bird Rescue https://theraptortrust.org/
	8:32am HyperDose: This is the jam 🔥
	8:34am StringOFperils: AT the time of ATomic Dog's big single release, I went down into Bay St. Subway station and all these kids had just flash-mobbed it, so the entire station platform was packed with dancers and they had this joint on a really big boom-box blastin'! It was so cool.
	8:35am YETI BOB: David F: I went to school with Chris Soucy who is now Executive Director of Raptor Trust.
	8:35am slugluv1313: Bow Wow Wow Futuristic Bow Wow 🐶🐶🐶 Plainfield, NJ's own 😺😺
	8:37am YETI BOB: wish i could adopt all the kitties
	8:37am YETI BOB: (already got two which is just right)
	8:37am HyperDose: You and me both, YB!
	8:38am slugluv1313: @Yeti Bob -- that is so cool! Raptor Trust is freaking awesome
	8:38am Jim the Poet: I WANT A SNUGGLE PRINCESS
	8:39am YETI BOB: Yeah slugluv I spent a lot of time around the Great Swamp when I was a kid. And played punk rock with Chris.
	8:39am HyperDose: I'm such a sucker for a tuxedo belly and paws 😫💕
	8:39am YETI BOB: those are two cute cats! somebody adopt them right now!
	8:39am melinda: @hyperdose me too
	8:39am slugluv1313: awwww OLIVIA and MICHAEL JACKSON are just too freaking ADORABLE!!! 😻😻
	8:40am Listener John from NJ: These cats 0livia and Michael Jackson sound completely wonderful! If only I could . . .
	8:46am yippie: wanted to say hi to the bad animals, good animals, and all the inbetween animals
	8:49am Jim the Poet: All animals, whether good or bad, are Bad Animals
	8:50am DJ Guin: i am still alive. 🐧 despite HyperDose's best efforts
	8:53am RickB: Good morning, animals!
	8:55am HyperDose: It's not just your jam, Jim. You have to share!
	8:55am Pax: Good morning, good shoe, and goodbye. Later Gators. Gators! Now there is a bad animal for you.
	8:55am TDK60: Gracias, DJ Jim the Poet.
	8:55am StringOFperils: I like this show cuz it's unscented and there's no litter to clean up, no poop to scoop. Thank you Bad ANimals everywhere
	8:57am HyperDose: Thanks Jim and Amanda (even though she totally bailed on us) 😋
	8:59am slugluv1313: awesome show -- thanks so much!!!

	7:57am StringOFperils: Coyotes range near here in downtown Toronto now, but I never see or hear them. Only their work. And they eat someone's pet now and then, so that gets attention. They travel the river valleys, next to the express routes. They're like ghosts.
	7:58am alanSixº: dday at the jersey shore they call the city invaders "bennys" for Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York City
	7:58am dday: They are scoping out the Hoboken high rises for new digs and their eventual take over of NYC :)
	7:59am alanSixº: gotta sign off ill be listening in the yard with the rats and lanternflies - have a good day yalls
	8:00am YETI BOB: I'm familiar with the term "Benny" but never heard that etymology before. Hmmm.
	8:00am HyperDose: Yasss Slug! My building is 5yrs old and they're all over the place. Missy likes to sit in front of the door and "hunt" them haha
	8:02am YETI BOB: Bandcamp says "Letter to my dog" is by IFEEL ifeel.bandcamp.com...
	8:03am YETI BOB: who is from Croatia, it seems
	8:03am dday: There's a local HOA around here (I'm not part of) but I attended a few of their "lake health" meetings. After listening to these clowns go on & on about what algaecide is best to dump in the lake to clear the water from being brownish (especially along the shore where many lakefront owners rake their leaves directly into the lake in fall). I said "why don't people stop raking their leaves into the lake. That will stop the browning as what you see are naturally occurring tanins from leaf decomposition (think tea). They told me I'm not a member so I have to leave. SMFH
	8:04am slugluv1313: @dday -- exactly! my Mom HATED seeing dead deer on the side of the road, and one even died in back of the house because -- hunters 🤬🤬🤬 when i was growing up though, we rarely saw deer -- and yes, the house we lived in was invasive too, but there was a farm behind our "property," and tons of wooded areas . . . until much of it was destroyed in order to build mcmansions
	8:05am JohnEBGood: Happy Saturday WFMU family. Peace ; )
	8:09am slugluv1313: hiya HyperDose! oh yes the cats LOVE them! 😹😹 last year, was cat sitting where the cats had access to a roof garden/deck -- i noticed them eyeballing something but could not figure out what -- until i saw a Lantern Fly walking about
	8:09am YETI BOB: I once rescued a baby bird that fell out of its nest. I put it in a basket in a tree near where I found it, lined with soft cloth. The mother came and rescued it.
	8:09am PigeonsAndRust: Not forcing water on a bird is very important! Birds can't cough, so trying to give it water with an eyedropper will just give it aspirational pneumonia
	8:12am slugluv1313: @dday -- yup! like humans complaining about "wildlife" getting into their trash -- DUH! i grew up in "the sticks" and everyone basically took preventative measures so that would not happen (like not throwing away food, for one thing!)
	8:12am dale: hey now. i've wrapped a few birds that crashed into a window in a warm towel out of the dryer until they've come back around. one was a red bellied woodpecker, neat to hold...
	8:20am Kathleen from JC: Good morning everyone! It’s a lovely crisp morning here. I’m going to enjoy some coffee outside with the cats, squirrels, and birds.
	8:21am slugluv1313: thank you for the bird rescue information!!! Wild Bird Fund (in NYC) and The Raptor Trust (in NJ) have a lot of helpful tips too when i was little, we rescued a baby Robin -- my Dad built a wooden crate for the little guy, my Mom and sister and i fed him earthworms -- TOTALLY drove the cats nuts! 😸😸 . . . we would take him outside, eventually he must have known he was "grown up" enough, and he flew away

	8:34am StringOFperils: AT the time of ATomic Dog's big single release, I went down into Bay St. Subway station and all these kids had just flash-mobbed it, so the entire station platform was packed with dancers and they had this joint on a really big boom-box blastin'! It was so cool.
