	12:06pm skrapshak: Aw, no Pseu's theme song today? LOL. I kid. Have fun Pseu and friends!
	12:06pm Strandlund: I didn't expect my theme song today...
	12:11pm mariano: I lucked out and got to see Herb Alpert and Lani Hall at the Carlyle in 2014. Dude was 80 at the time and still putting on a hell of a show.
	12:11pm love2laf: My father adored this Herb Alpert album, cheers Pseu for bringing some wonderful memories alive with this. Hello to all the fellow hook-ers here.

	12:15pm Annette: Hi Pseu!
	12:15pm ChrisB.: Just saw Herb & Lani this summer. They were great!
	12:16pm Matt in NJ: Yachtober
	12:16pm -жеи: Wow, I haven't hear "Breezin'" in centuries.
	12:17pm JG: a segue for the ages - breezin to sanford and son. Bravo
	12:17pm WFMU listener WADE: theme song of my childhood.
	12:19pm mariano: ChrisB: Wow, good to know they're still out there doing their thing!
	12:21pm wind: Thank you for playing Superman! It’s my son’s father’s birthday and it was so nice to hear his favorite theme. 🙏🏾
	12:22pm ledzeppelinsucks: I saw Circle Jerks about 8 times on the last tour. At each show Keith Morris started with a rambling tribute to Herp Albert and the TJ Brass, followed by a history about the Circle Jerks getting screwed down from a fat record contract offer.
	12:22pm wind: This is existing Pseu!
	12:23pm wind: Hi everyone ♥️
	12:24pm Miss G: Ah, I was looking forward to them yelling at the mics the whole show!
	12:24pm McGroovey: This was the music that several Central & Western NY stations played when I was a teenager: WVOR-FM, Rochester ("The Voice of Rochester. The Music of Your Life"); WSYR-FM, Syracuse. WSYR-AM played a mixture of this, and country-western, and talk. Then, when I was about 16, WSYR-FM changed to album rock: Boston, Styx, Black Sabbath (mostly Dio-era), etc. You didn't ask, but I told you anyway.
	12:25pm HyperDose: One of the guests sounds like Larry David with a thicker accent and that's awesome.
	12:26pm Listener Sean In Long Valley NJ: the bridge and tunnel migration..I know it well.
	12:26pm Miss G: I love Pseu's stories and so I'm looking forward to her pals' stories!
	12:27pm Marie: What a great opening set--only on FMU. I can't believe how much I enjoyed "breezin'"
	12:29pm AS from MP: maybe more closely, Larry David doing Bernie Sanders
	12:30pm Yes: this is wonderful
	12:30pm PaulRobeson1922: Hii
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: This cheese story is hitting home. This guy did the right thing with the paper.
	12:31pm dave wuz here: uncle freddie's dead?!
	12:32pm HyperDose: Every mom and pop deli I visited always took care of me and treated me like family. Extended that same courtesy to every patron when I managed a gourmet deli & cheese shoppe.
	12:32pm TimSF: Pseu: This is exciting. Don't know if I've ever heard you laugh before. Is that possible? I'm relatively new listener to this station; three-ish years...every Thursday. Really enjoying this interview.
	12:33pm luka: all customers can go to hell.
	12:33pm Miss G: This show can be called "Pseu's Stories From Central" You can give a new name to Central Jersy, like "SoHo" etc
	12:33pm Marie: They are counting the slices very closely at the corporate chains. Workers will get in trouble if they give more.
	12:33pm Hank from Wormburner: Please. I MUST see a photo of these guys!
	12:34pm Jack McGuire: Love these guys!
	12:35pm Krys O.: We can't blow their cover by seeing them. These behind the scenes deli stories are highly confidential.
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: When this guy says 'cut the baloney,' he means it.
	12:37pm ledzeppelinsucks: Sounds great. I can get a Pastrami in sourdough inside and a half and half in the parking lot. Maybe a nickel bag for dessert, except the taped over post it note inside says 'Sorry, No Cash Back'.
	12:37pm Miss G: Happy? "Let's not go that faw!" Yeah I needed this today! Too much saccharine fake Southern hospitality lately for me.
	12:37pm HyperDose: @Marie If you frequent the big chains you have to ask for "double meat" which of course incurs an extra charge for two more slices (divided in half diagonally so it looks like more)
	12:38pm Marie: Hey Hyperdose, yeah, it's truly sick. And it is prolly not actually 100% real meat. I don't actually go to them. I tried a few--ick
	12:38pm Mike Sin: I'm sorry if I run into somebody who is green in color, I'm getting concerned!
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: I'd love to hear a version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Voices of Old People" only with these guys doing the talking.
	12:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: Toxic Avenger was green.
	12:39pm Slamtonio: also known as the 'can I see your Spaldeen' con. Count on it getting 'roofed'.
	12:39pm efd: was not expecting a casual Androcles and the Lion reference on today's show, and yet here we are
	12:41pm Marie: Best sandwich I ever had was fresh turkey with provolone on fresh Gonnella bread with Hellman's Mayo and hot giardinera peppers, plus lettuce--from an old school Italian deli in Chicago. (I predict this post will set of a major sandwich discussion @)).
	12:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello. There was a dude in my vicinity, from Cyprus as I recall, and his skin was kind of green / olive. He died in his 40s and had some health issues in his days.
	12:41pm cuspidor: these guys need a show right away.
	12:42pm Marie: In terms of sandwhiches (my preferred spelling), I believe tomatoes on a sandwich are like an unpredictable ticking time bomb
	12:42pm Krys O.: We need Alan and Fred once a month at least.
	12:42pm Jason from Houston: I am soooooo hungry, Marie. Thanks. LOL
	12:42pm listener 126464: tv party tonight
	12:43pm -жеи: Here is Andy Breckmanman's account of "Hot to Trot:" www.wfmu.org...
	12:43pm Krys O.: Alan & Fred vs The Skanks of the World
	12:44pm luka: oh shit key change!!
	12:44pm Marie: @Jason--hee hee hee--me too, I must start planning my next meal. I rarely eat meat now but I always get one of those sandwhiches when I go back to Chicago
	12:44pm Roberto: I always find myself humming the A Team theme in times of trouble.
	12:44pm James in ATL: Really enjoying the conversation! Thank you Alan and Fred and Pseu!
	12:45pm HyperDose: If you're ever in Bayonne and want to splurge, Charlie at Benanti's deli hooks it up. Fresh and imported everything. Real deal homemade meatballs like you wouldn't believe. My go-to is capicola, salami, fresh mozz, and basil on semolina doused in oil and balsamic.
	12:45pm Krys O.: I would never have been able to identify this as the A-Team theme. It sounds like production music for a local news broadcast in Wisconsin.
	12:45pm katharsis: Hello pseu and all. Out here listening. Healing my eyeball.
	12:45pm luka: @Marie what deli?? was it Bari, i miss Bari
	12:45pm love2laf: I'm not afraid of hell, I've worked retail. Having worked at a butcher shop with a deli, I can relate to all these stories, especially the pride in doing the job right, and the customers who do appreciate it. Thanks Alan & Fred, and Sue for this excellent free form show!
	12:45pm Krys O.: This is my jam! I watched Gomer Pyle reruns in the 70s.
	12:46pm steveo: Adoring your selections today. Also enjoyed the interview. I worked for several years in the grocery store when I was younger; many wonderful folks there
	12:47pm love2laf: @katharsis heal well, eyeballs are delicate things to care for.
	12:48pm Roberto: When I find myself in times of trouble Father Hannibal comes to me
	12:49pm Marie: @Hyperdose, that sounds so good. @Luka, Fontano's Subs by UIC was the original one now they have one on Michigan Ave by the Art Institute. There might also be one in the 'burbs. I'm not sure if I've been to Bari's...
	12:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: I want to get hopped up.
	12:50pm (Murakami Whywolf))): I'm pretty sure that the "Munsters" theme is what in klezmer music is called a 'freilach'; just think if those high notes were played by a clarinet. (It's also surf music, but surf also has Near Eastern influence from Dick "Dale" Monsour.)
	12:50pm Marie: http://fontanossub.com---the soups are incredible too
	12:51pm ledzeppelinsucks: Yonkers, home of UL or Consumer Report crash labs for cars and the abandoned Cornell U green houses, and the subway car repair center.
	12:51pm katharsis: @love2laf thank you. Professionals are involved. adding in adjunct and alternative
	12:52pm HyperDose: @Marie A good soup is hard to find!
	12:53pm luka: “in the house”
	12:53pm ledzeppelinsucks: Chocolate is poison for dogs is a lie started by dog biscuit companies. Rice kills birds is a lie started by bird seed companies. Bird seed tossed at weddings was a great marketing scam.
	12:54pm tookitookibird: protect these men from harm forever. they are treasures.
	12:56pm Miss G: That Jack Russell could sense that Freddy and Allen might give him some chocolate.
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: Speaking of horses, there is a strong note of Arnold Horshack in the intonations of these fellas, as voiced by the late Ron Palillo.
	12:57pm eastvanhalen: @hyperdose - I don't expect ever to be in Bayonne, but because pretty much everything these days is stuff I never expected, I'm filing that bit of information, ty
	12:57pm Psit!: Listening from Athens, Greece. Such interesting stories these guys!
	12:58pm Miss G: One cracked rib alone can keep you up all night from pain, for months. . .so, wow.
	12:59pm Krys O.: @Hughie: Kotter was set in Brooklyn.
	1:00pm Krys O.: Walker tennis balls are manufactured by different medical supply companies.
	1:00pm Krys O.: You can DIY them this way: www.instructables.com...
	1:01pm Krys O.: Tennis balls are already hollow.
	1:01pm Andres: eastvanhalen: How'd the election go? Not much change in my Ontario burg.
	1:02pm Hughie Considine: It was, @Krys O, but I figure every actor came up with their own approximation of a Brooklyn accent. Travolta and Robert Hegyes were from NJ, Palillo was from CT...
	1:03pm Krys O.: I remember Checkout!
	1:03pm HyperDose: @eastvanhalen If there's a better chance of you being in NYC at some point, Pisillo's is a most necessary pilgrimage pisillopanini.com
	1:05pm Krys O.: At least the commercial for the show. It was in a montage for Turnin' USA, the USA cable channel's promotion in the 80s. My ex's recorded the song on that promo. It was an approximation of Surfin' USA. LOL!
	1:05pm Miss G: "Is there romance in this show?" "No. Naw." LOL
	1:08pm JetLee: Love these guys!
	1:10pm ledzeppelinsucks: You followed Willard Scott's instructions and went out and made it a great day.
	1:15pm Roberto: I've often wondered why walkers don't come with tennis balls pre-installed. I've never seen one that hasn't been retrofitted with them.
	1:16pm ledzeppelinsucks: I worked at the Canandaigua VA nut house for an IT project. After about 4 days I was absorbing the meds and was laughing a lot.
	1:18pm Miss G: OK I can't tell the story, but let me tell you that letters, the old fashioned kind, it really works, my story does indeed involve deli workers being laid off.
	1:20pm Marie: @Hyperdose, above--true dat!
	1:20pm RevWaldo: For standing up to trouble There's no one better Than the man with the typewriter Known as Johnny Letter They call him Johnny Letter!
	1:22pm RevWaldo: @Miss G - that they do Protip - writing to a higher up in a big company, be nice, and send it registered return receipt.
	1:25pm Krys O.: A show with Alan and Fred would surpass the popularity of NPR's Car Talk, I'd wager.
	1:28pm TimSF: @Krys O. Good point. Probably just reruns these days, right? One of the guys died, I think. Good memories (Sunday mornings for me)
	1:30pm TimSF: "a left foot mama". At least it's not like Eugene Levy on Best in Show: He had two left feet.
	1:35pm wendy del formaggio: Wait. Hold up. I just tuned in. What’s going on? This is great.
	1:37pm Faux Jean: The diphthongs!
	1:38pm Krys O.: Hey, Wendy! It's great. You have to check out the archive when it's up.
	1:39pm wendy del formaggio: Krys O.: Hi! Yes, I plan on doing so. I’m intrigued. I love stories. I also love pastrami.
	1:42pm HyperDose: Dr. Pastrami would be such a good Halloween costume
	1:42pm timurf: My favorite WFMU guests yet!
	1:43pm wind: What a lovely show♥️
	1:44pm KWilde: Love these guys
	1:45pm HyperDose: I adore these two menschen. Thank you for having them on.
	1:45pm wendy del formaggio: Can these guys get their own show on FMU?
	1:49pm Wind: Pseu! Is This really your last show???
	1:49pm eastvanhalen: Hi. So sometimes I watch figure skating, might as well cop to it. When you watch figure skating, there are some things that you cannot ever listen to again because there was just...one free skate too many. No shade to our excellent guest hosts.
	1:51pm Wind: @1:39 wendy del formaggio you definitely have to check out the archives! I will too. I missed a lot of the show😎
	1:51pm eastvanhalen: on the other hand, more people should skate to this
	1:52pm Steve O: Great show
	1:52pm West Trenton Vinny: crossed over into the astral plane, show making my day - and, is Ewing distinguishable from West Trenton in the panel's opinion?
	1:53pm Choggie: I LOVE Shirley Basset!!
	1:53pm Steve O: My friend James would have loved this episode
	1:53pm Steve O: Rip James
	1:54pm Choggie: If you've never heard it go and listen to the Liquidator, bassey did a theme song for a crappy spy movie it is awesome
	1:54pm Beast of Boonton: Pseu's thing with a scratch
	1:54pm eastvanhalen: It's ok Pseu, we don't know what we're doing the other half of the time
	1:56pm lazy rider: These guys still own a deli ?
	1:58pm cuspidor: KenFriedman please give them a show
	1:59pm Roberto: They could host the reboot of Shut up, Weirdo.
	1:59pm Theo: These two menschen are wunnerful. Thanks for having them on as special/secret guests.
	2:00pm HyperDose: Well said, who cares! Just be a decent person.
	2:01pm Roberto: HAHA TWO FOR ONE!
	2:02pm eastvanhalen: Everything about this show is awesome.
	2:02pm wind: Twofer!😎 nice one Pseu 🙏🏾
	2:03pm Roberto: Although I prefer Weird Al's "You Don't Take Your Showers."
	2:03pm Rick A: Hi Pseu and All, Alan and Fred are everyday heroes, confronting the disgusting bigotry and blandness of our fraught existence. This might be Pseu's hookiest of hook shows.
	2:04pm San Pedro Girl: Hi Pseu and fellow Hookers. Fred and Alan definitely need their own show. Thanks for sharing them with us.
	2:04pm JetBoy of Astoria: Good day Pseu and all
	2:04pm JetBoy of Astoria: I brought flowers till the end. Didn’t matter.
	2:05pm Androu B.: Hi, Pseu & Hooksters! Since you played the theme from "Frasier", it just so happens Kelsey Grammar was in town to cheer on Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team @ Shi Stadium this past Saturday!
	2:05pm steveo: whaydaminute was that a love song about not singing love songs???
	2:07pm HyperDose: oh my god, Pseu 😂
	2:08pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Pseu and hookers! Ha, Seinfeld
	2:08pm Androu B.: @steveo - If you recall, Macca and his Wings band also sang one about that same subject, anumber called "Silly Love Songs", I believe it was called.
	2:09pm wind: Pseu how do you do it? T’is magical 🥰
	2:09pm Ochre Ogre: Right, just be a decent person. although, stay woke as fk, the level of anti-Semitism is really becoming alarming.
	2:09pm steveo: love subversion, always a hit
	2:13pm Roberto: All he left you was a loan? Good luck to him getting it back!
	2:15pm Tone Crawford: Hi Pseu and all! the perfection of this show.. endless larffs love and smiles ....Allen and Freddy are treasures !! thank you so much .. oh, and Blondie ta boot ! : ))

	2:24pm Ellen Levitt: Pseu, I'm from Brooklyn. PLEASE ask these guys where they went for Jr HS and HS. Also PLEASE ask them which synagogue they attended
	2:24pm lazy rider: @KG, Bernie Sanders- Brooklyn
	2:25pm Ellen Levitt: In particular ask them if they went to the synagogue on Linden Blvd or Kevelson? Did they go to Canarsie HS?
	2:28pm Ochre Ogre: lazy rider- Exactly, you beat me to it, Midwood/Flatbush.
	2:28pm wind: This gives a new meaning to the notion that “most” people are basically good at the “core”.
	2:29pm Krys O.: One of my sisters lived in Flatbush in the 70s. She went to nursing school at LIU.
	2:29pm Roberto: These guys kind of remind me of my late father-in-law but from Brooklyn instead of the Bronx.

	2:33pm WO Town Wick: That was gold Pseu and a reminder of the exceptional wonder of free-form. What a show.
	2:34pm love2laf: Would Alan & Fred please come back for active pledge time Pseu? I think the three of you would break donation records. Special prizes could be people writing in questions for stories about fill-in-the-blank. Thank you, all three, for this special show!
	2:34pm Ochre Ogre: WO- Ditto, so entertaining!

	2:42pm wendy del formaggio: All these tv themes are making me want to curl up on the couch under a blanket, like I’m 9 years old again. I’m not complaining.
	2:43pm paddy in matawan: We're expectin' ya!
	2:43pm West Trenton Vinny: Radio in its highest form, "Dallas" in the afternoon, and wait... oh... it's... YES!!!
	2:43pm paddy in matawan: This was my first favorite TV show as a young young man.

	2:44pm Krys O.: Jack's still around, Androu.
	2:46pm Androu B.: Oh, I guess that must've been a rumor someone started. Good to know he's still around. Maybe they've hired him for that new LB cruise that's running now.
	2:48pm Ochre Ogre: Just checked WIKI, didn't know Bernie, Ruth B Ginsburg and Chuck Schumer all went to James Madison High School in Sheepshead Bay.

	2:52pm listener 126464: Great show Pseu, Alan & Fred!
	2:52pm Patrick S.: This show was amazing. What a treat.
	2:53pm TimSF: Thank you Pseu what great show you gave us. Really funny and enjoyable.
	2:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu, Alan, and Fred! It's been a monumental show! Well done!
	2:53pm radioronan: This was fantastic...Thanks Alan, Fred and Pseu!
	2:53pm paddy in matawan: oh im using that line. I just let out a spoiler by accident about Clerks III and felt so bad. I edited it out the next day and hopefully minimized damage .
	2:53pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Between the two of them, I think there's at least one 'Teddy' from "Bob's Burgers".
	2:53pm WFMU listener WADE: the doctors are paid and billed to insurance differently. Nurses are billed to the insurance under the same expense code as the bed, food, housing and not by the actual work they do. just fyi. so we are seen as an expense that can be reduced - like less expensive sheets or equipment. great show! thanks for the RN appreciation.
	2:53pm Roberto: I hate when they don't laugh.
	2:55pm toronto WFMU fan: Best afternoon of radio EVER. These are the stories we need, pure unfiltered life told hilariously
	2:55pm McGroovey: Great guys! It was great to hear their stories. I've had blue-collar and white-collar jobs. The low-paying jobs I had were a lot more work than the high-paying ones, and less secure, no matter how good I was or how hard I worked.
	2:56pm Annette: Thanks so much Pseu and fellow Brooklynite guests
	2:56pm Jack McGuire: Wonderful show! Thanks all 3!
	2:57pm winston legthigh: thanks alan, fred, pseu. that was big fun!
	2:57pm paddy in matawan: Thanks everone! Love!
	2:57pm Androu B.: Thanks, Pseu! Alan & Fred soud like great guys. I agree with everyone else. These guys need to have a regular show here on the Woof-Moo!
	2:58pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Pseu, Alan and Fred!
	2:58pm wendy del formaggio: Thanks Pseu! ❤️

	12:06pm swivs: "You've got me? Who's got you?!"
	12:06pm HyperDose: Good afternoon, Lady Braun!
	12:06pm skrapshak: Aw, no Pseu's theme song today? LOL. I kid. Have fun Pseu and friends!
	12:06pm Strandlund: I didn't expect my theme song today...
	12:11pm mariano: I lucked out and got to see Herb Alpert and Lani Hall at the Carlyle in 2014. Dude was 80 at the time and still putting on a hell of a show.
	12:11pm love2laf: My father adored this Herb Alpert album, cheers Pseu for bringing some wonderful memories alive with this. Hello to all the fellow hook-ers here.
	12:13pm Don S: aaawwwww Pseu, you're taking me back. i'm not sure back WHERE, but we're going.
	12:13pm Krys O.: Good afternoon!
	12:14pm eastvanhalen: Well, what have we here?
	12:15pm Yes: we swimmin
	12:15pm Annette: Hi Pseu!
	12:15pm ChrisB.: Just saw Herb & Lani this summer. They were great!
	12:16pm Matt in NJ: Yachtober
	12:16pm -жеи: Wow, I haven't hear "Breezin'" in centuries.
	12:17pm JG: a segue for the ages - breezin to sanford and son. Bravo
	12:17pm WFMU listener WADE: theme song of my childhood.
	12:19pm mariano: ChrisB: Wow, good to know they're still out there doing their thing!
	12:21pm wind: Thank you for playing Superman! It’s my son’s father’s birthday and it was so nice to hear his favorite theme. 🙏🏾
	12:22pm ledzeppelinsucks: I saw Circle Jerks about 8 times on the last tour. At each show Keith Morris started with a rambling tribute to Herp Albert and the TJ Brass, followed by a history about the Circle Jerks getting screwed down from a fat record contract offer.
	12:22pm wind: This is existing Pseu!
	12:23pm wind: Hi everyone ♥️
	12:24pm Miss G: Ah, I was looking forward to them yelling at the mics the whole show!
	12:24pm McGroovey: This was the music that several Central & Western NY stations played when I was a teenager: WVOR-FM, Rochester ("The Voice of Rochester. The Music of Your Life"); WSYR-FM, Syracuse. WSYR-AM played a mixture of this, and country-western, and talk. Then, when I was about 16, WSYR-FM changed to album rock: Boston, Styx, Black Sabbath (mostly Dio-era), etc. You didn't ask, but I told you anyway.
	12:25pm HyperDose: One of the guests sounds like Larry David with a thicker accent and that's awesome.
	12:26pm Listener Sean In Long Valley NJ: the bridge and tunnel migration..I know it well.
	12:26pm Miss G: I love Pseu's stories and so I'm looking forward to her pals' stories!
	12:27pm Marie: What a great opening set--only on FMU. I can't believe how much I enjoyed "breezin'"
	12:29pm AS from MP: maybe more closely, Larry David doing Bernie Sanders
	12:30pm Yes: this is wonderful
	12:30pm PaulRobeson1922: Hii
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: This cheese story is hitting home. This guy did the right thing with the paper.
	12:31pm dave wuz here: uncle freddie's dead?!
	12:32pm HyperDose: Every mom and pop deli I visited always took care of me and treated me like family. Extended that same courtesy to every patron when I managed a gourmet deli & cheese shoppe.
	12:32pm TimSF: Pseu: This is exciting. Don't know if I've ever heard you laugh before. Is that possible? I'm relatively new listener to this station; three-ish years...every Thursday. Really enjoying this interview.
	12:33pm luka: all customers can go to hell.
	12:33pm Miss G: This show can be called "Pseu's Stories From Central" You can give a new name to Central Jersy, like "SoHo" etc
	12:33pm Marie: They are counting the slices very closely at the corporate chains. Workers will get in trouble if they give more.
	12:33pm Hank from Wormburner: Please. I MUST see a photo of these guys!
	12:34pm Jack McGuire: Love these guys!
	12:35pm Krys O.: We can't blow their cover by seeing them. These behind the scenes deli stories are highly confidential.
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: When this guy says 'cut the baloney,' he means it.
	12:37pm ledzeppelinsucks: Sounds great. I can get a Pastrami in sourdough inside and a half and half in the parking lot. Maybe a nickel bag for dessert, except the taped over post it note inside says 'Sorry, No Cash Back'.
	12:37pm Miss G: Happy? "Let's not go that faw!" Yeah I needed this today! Too much saccharine fake Southern hospitality lately for me.
	12:37pm HyperDose: @Marie If you frequent the big chains you have to ask for "double meat" which of course incurs an extra charge for two more slices (divided in half diagonally so it looks like more)
	12:38pm Marie: Hey Hyperdose, yeah, it's truly sick. And it is prolly not actually 100% real meat. I don't actually go to them. I tried a few--ick
	12:38pm Mike Sin: I'm sorry if I run into somebody who is green in color, I'm getting concerned!
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: I'd love to hear a version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Voices of Old People" only with these guys doing the talking.
	12:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: Toxic Avenger was green.
	12:39pm Slamtonio: also known as the 'can I see your Spaldeen' con. Count on it getting 'roofed'.
	12:39pm efd: was not expecting a casual Androcles and the Lion reference on today's show, and yet here we are
	12:41pm Marie: Best sandwich I ever had was fresh turkey with provolone on fresh Gonnella bread with Hellman's Mayo and hot giardinera peppers, plus lettuce--from an old school Italian deli in Chicago. (I predict this post will set of a major sandwich discussion @)).
	12:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello. There was a dude in my vicinity, from Cyprus as I recall, and his skin was kind of green / olive. He died in his 40s and had some health issues in his days.
	12:41pm cuspidor: these guys need a show right away.
	12:42pm Marie: In terms of sandwhiches (my preferred spelling), I believe tomatoes on a sandwich are like an unpredictable ticking time bomb
	12:42pm Krys O.: We need Alan and Fred once a month at least.
	12:42pm Jason from Houston: I am soooooo hungry, Marie. Thanks. LOL
	12:42pm listener 126464: tv party tonight
	12:43pm -жеи: Here is Andy Breckmanman's account of "Hot to Trot:" www.wfmu.org...
	12:43pm Krys O.: Alan & Fred vs The Skanks of the World
	12:44pm luka: oh shit key change!!
	12:44pm Marie: @Jason--hee hee hee--me too, I must start planning my next meal. I rarely eat meat now but I always get one of those sandwhiches when I go back to Chicago
	12:44pm Roberto: I always find myself humming the A Team theme in times of trouble.
	12:44pm James in ATL: Really enjoying the conversation! Thank you Alan and Fred and Pseu!
	12:45pm HyperDose: If you're ever in Bayonne and want to splurge, Charlie at Benanti's deli hooks it up. Fresh and imported everything. Real deal homemade meatballs like you wouldn't believe. My go-to is capicola, salami, fresh mozz, and basil on semolina doused in oil and balsamic.
	12:45pm Krys O.: I would never have been able to identify this as the A-Team theme. It sounds like production music for a local news broadcast in Wisconsin.
	12:45pm katharsis: Hello pseu and all. Out here listening. Healing my eyeball.
	12:45pm luka: @Marie what deli?? was it Bari, i miss Bari
	12:45pm love2laf: I'm not afraid of hell, I've worked retail. Having worked at a butcher shop with a deli, I can relate to all these stories, especially the pride in doing the job right, and the customers who do appreciate it. Thanks Alan & Fred, and Sue for this excellent free form show!
	12:45pm Krys O.: This is my jam! I watched Gomer Pyle reruns in the 70s.
	12:46pm steveo: Adoring your selections today. Also enjoyed the interview. I worked for several years in the grocery store when I was younger; many wonderful folks there
	12:47pm love2laf: @katharsis heal well, eyeballs are delicate things to care for.
	12:48pm Roberto: When I find myself in times of trouble Father Hannibal comes to me
	12:49pm Marie: @Hyperdose, that sounds so good. @Luka, Fontano's Subs by UIC was the original one now they have one on Michigan Ave by the Art Institute. There might also be one in the 'burbs. I'm not sure if I've been to Bari's...
	12:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: I want to get hopped up.
	12:50pm (Murakami Whywolf))): I'm pretty sure that the "Munsters" theme is what in klezmer music is called a 'freilach'; just think if those high notes were played by a clarinet. (It's also surf music, but surf also has Near Eastern influence from Dick "Dale" Monsour.)
	12:50pm Marie: http://fontanossub.com---the soups are incredible too
	12:51pm ledzeppelinsucks: Yonkers, home of UL or Consumer Report crash labs for cars and the abandoned Cornell U green houses, and the subway car repair center.
	12:51pm katharsis: @love2laf thank you. Professionals are involved. adding in adjunct and alternative
	12:52pm HyperDose: @Marie A good soup is hard to find!
	12:53pm luka: “in the house”
	12:53pm ledzeppelinsucks: Chocolate is poison for dogs is a lie started by dog biscuit companies. Rice kills birds is a lie started by bird seed companies. Bird seed tossed at weddings was a great marketing scam.
	12:54pm tookitookibird: protect these men from harm forever. they are treasures.
	12:56pm Miss G: That Jack Russell could sense that Freddy and Allen might give him some chocolate.
	12:57pm Hughie Considine: Speaking of horses, there is a strong note of Arnold Horshack in the intonations of these fellas, as voiced by the late Ron Palillo.
	12:57pm eastvanhalen: @hyperdose - I don't expect ever to be in Bayonne, but because pretty much everything these days is stuff I never expected, I'm filing that bit of information, ty
	12:57pm Psit!: Listening from Athens, Greece. Such interesting stories these guys!
	12:58pm Miss G: One cracked rib alone can keep you up all night from pain, for months. . .so, wow.
	12:59pm Krys O.: @Hughie: Kotter was set in Brooklyn.
	1:00pm Krys O.: Walker tennis balls are manufactured by different medical supply companies.
	1:00pm Krys O.: You can DIY them this way: www.instructables.com...
	1:01pm Krys O.: Tennis balls are already hollow.
	1:01pm Andres: eastvanhalen: How'd the election go? Not much change in my Ontario burg.
	1:02pm Hughie Considine: It was, @Krys O, but I figure every actor came up with their own approximation of a Brooklyn accent. Travolta and Robert Hegyes were from NJ, Palillo was from CT...
	1:03pm Krys O.: I remember Checkout!
	1:03pm HyperDose: @eastvanhalen If there's a better chance of you being in NYC at some point, Pisillo's is a most necessary pilgrimage pisillopanini.com
	1:05pm Krys O.: At least the commercial for the show. It was in a montage for Turnin' USA, the USA cable channel's promotion in the 80s. My ex's recorded the song on that promo. It was an approximation of Surfin' USA. LOL!
	1:05pm Miss G: "Is there romance in this show?" "No. Naw." LOL
	1:08pm JetLee: Love these guys!
	1:10pm ledzeppelinsucks: You followed Willard Scott's instructions and went out and made it a great day.
	1:15pm Roberto: I've often wondered why walkers don't come with tennis balls pre-installed. I've never seen one that hasn't been retrofitted with them.
	1:16pm ledzeppelinsucks: I worked at the Canandaigua VA nut house for an IT project. After about 4 days I was absorbing the meds and was laughing a lot.
	1:18pm Miss G: OK I can't tell the story, but let me tell you that letters, the old fashioned kind, it really works, my story does indeed involve deli workers being laid off.
	1:20pm Marie: @Hyperdose, above--true dat!
	1:20pm RevWaldo: For standing up to trouble There's no one better Than the man with the typewriter Known as Johnny Letter They call him Johnny Letter!
	1:22pm RevWaldo: @Miss G - that they do Protip - writing to a higher up in a big company, be nice, and send it registered return receipt.
	1:25pm Krys O.: A show with Alan and Fred would surpass the popularity of NPR's Car Talk, I'd wager.
	1:28pm TimSF: @Krys O. Good point. Probably just reruns these days, right? One of the guys died, I think. Good memories (Sunday mornings for me)
	1:30pm TimSF: "a left foot mama". At least it's not like Eugene Levy on Best in Show: He had two left feet.
	1:35pm wendy del formaggio: Wait. Hold up. I just tuned in. What’s going on? This is great.
	1:37pm Faux Jean: The diphthongs!
	1:38pm Krys O.: Hey, Wendy! It's great. You have to check out the archive when it's up.
	1:39pm wendy del formaggio: Krys O.: Hi! Yes, I plan on doing so. I’m intrigued. I love stories. I also love pastrami.
	1:42pm HyperDose: Dr. Pastrami would be such a good Halloween costume
	1:42pm timurf: My favorite WFMU guests yet!
	1:43pm wind: What a lovely show♥️
	1:44pm KWilde: Love these guys
	1:45pm HyperDose: I adore these two menschen. Thank you for having them on.
	1:45pm wendy del formaggio: Can these guys get their own show on FMU?
	1:49pm Wind: Pseu! Is This really your last show???
	1:49pm eastvanhalen: Hi. So sometimes I watch figure skating, might as well cop to it. When you watch figure skating, there are some things that you cannot ever listen to again because there was just...one free skate too many. No shade to our excellent guest hosts.
	1:51pm Wind: @1:39 wendy del formaggio you definitely have to check out the archives! I will too. I missed a lot of the show😎
	1:51pm eastvanhalen: on the other hand, more people should skate to this
	1:52pm Steve O: Great show
	1:52pm West Trenton Vinny: crossed over into the astral plane, show making my day - and, is Ewing distinguishable from West Trenton in the panel's opinion?
	1:53pm Choggie: I LOVE Shirley Basset!!
	1:53pm Steve O: My friend James would have loved this episode
	1:53pm Steve O: Rip James
	1:54pm Choggie: If you've never heard it go and listen to the Liquidator, bassey did a theme song for a crappy spy movie it is awesome
	1:54pm Beast of Boonton: Pseu's thing with a scratch
	1:54pm eastvanhalen: It's ok Pseu, we don't know what we're doing the other half of the time
	1:56pm lazy rider: These guys still own a deli ?
	1:58pm cuspidor: KenFriedman please give them a show
	1:59pm Roberto: They could host the reboot of Shut up, Weirdo.
	1:59pm Theo: These two menschen are wunnerful. Thanks for having them on as special/secret guests.
	2:00pm HyperDose: Well said, who cares! Just be a decent person.
	2:01pm Roberto: HAHA TWO FOR ONE!
	2:02pm eastvanhalen: Everything about this show is awesome.
	2:02pm wind: Twofer!😎 nice one Pseu 🙏🏾
	2:03pm Roberto: Although I prefer Weird Al's "You Don't Take Your Showers."
	2:03pm Rick A: Hi Pseu and All, Alan and Fred are everyday heroes, confronting the disgusting bigotry and blandness of our fraught existence. This might be Pseu's hookiest of hook shows.
	2:04pm San Pedro Girl: Hi Pseu and fellow Hookers. Fred and Alan definitely need their own show. Thanks for sharing them with us.
	2:04pm JetBoy of Astoria: Good day Pseu and all
	2:04pm JetBoy of Astoria: I brought flowers till the end. Didn’t matter.
	2:05pm Androu B.: Hi, Pseu & Hooksters! Since you played the theme from "Frasier", it just so happens Kelsey Grammar was in town to cheer on Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team @ Shi Stadium this past Saturday!
	2:05pm steveo: whaydaminute was that a love song about not singing love songs???
	2:07pm HyperDose: oh my god, Pseu 😂
	2:08pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Pseu and hookers! Ha, Seinfeld
	2:08pm Androu B.: @steveo - If you recall, Macca and his Wings band also sang one about that same subject, anumber called "Silly Love Songs", I believe it was called.
	2:09pm wind: Pseu how do you do it? T’is magical 🥰
	2:09pm Ochre Ogre: Right, just be a decent person. although, stay woke as fk, the level of anti-Semitism is really becoming alarming.
	2:09pm steveo: love subversion, always a hit
	2:13pm Roberto: All he left you was a loan? Good luck to him getting it back!
	2:15pm Tone Crawford: Hi Pseu and all! the perfection of this show.. endless larffs love and smiles ....Allen and Freddy are treasures !! thank you so much .. oh, and Blondie ta boot ! : ))

	2:22pm Miss g: I lost you all on the drive but wanted to thank you Pseuand Alan and Fred, for making me laugh before a couple of stressful hours
	2:24pm Ellen Levitt: Pseu, I'm from Brooklyn. PLEASE ask these guys where they went for Jr HS and HS. Also PLEASE ask them which synagogue they attended
	2:24pm lazy rider: @KG, Bernie Sanders- Brooklyn
	2:25pm Ellen Levitt: In particular ask them if they went to the synagogue on Linden Blvd or Kevelson? Did they go to Canarsie HS?
	2:28pm Ochre Ogre: lazy rider- Exactly, you beat me to it, Midwood/Flatbush.
	2:28pm wind: This gives a new meaning to the notion that “most” people are basically good at the “core”.
	2:29pm Krys O.: One of my sisters lived in Flatbush in the 70s. She went to nursing school at LIU.
	2:29pm Roberto: These guys kind of remind me of my late father-in-law but from Brooklyn instead of the Bronx.
	2:31pm wind: lazy rider! Yes! To Dinner At Andy’s with Alan, Fred and Ken!
	2:32pm cuspidor: Pseu please bring them back! Best thing since DIFM
	2:32pm Theo: I can see these two grooving to this in studio A
	2:33pm WO Town Wick: That was gold Pseu and a reminder of the exceptional wonder of free-form. What a show.
	2:34pm love2laf: Would Alan & Fred please come back for active pledge time Pseu? I think the three of you would break donation records. Special prizes could be people writing in questions for stories about fill-in-the-blank. Thank you, all three, for this special show!
	2:34pm Ochre Ogre: WO- Ditto, so entertaining!
	2:34pm Androu B.: Suddenly this is turning into a 3-hour edition of Morricone Island, lol!

	2:39pm Roberto: OMG Hart to Hart!
	2:39pm Krys O.: Lionel Stander!
	2:39pm Theo: Wish we heard THAT discussion on air!
	2:39pm paddy in matawan: MOIDAH
	2:40pm Krys O.: This really takes me back to my youth watching these shows with my pop. Well, not Dallas.
	2:40pm Crosby in KC: DALLAS!!
	2:41pm SSS: Is the station being held hostage, and the play list is a cry for help?!??!!!
	2:41pm wind: Dallas!!!
	2:41pm People Like Us: ha ha ha
	2:41pm People Like Us: Wonder Woman please
	2:42pm Hunterian: 🖤❤️
	2:42pm SSS: Not that I don't dig it. Things were so simple when madness was only broadcast.
	2:42pm wendy del formaggio: All these tv themes are making me want to curl up on the couch under a blanket, like I’m 9 years old again. I’m not complaining.
	2:43pm paddy in matawan: We're expectin' ya!
	2:43pm West Trenton Vinny: Radio in its highest form, "Dallas" in the afternoon, and wait... oh... it's... YES!!!
	2:43pm paddy in matawan: This was my first favorite TV show as a young young man.
	2:43pm Theo: De plane de plane!
	2:44pm winston legthigh: hi pseu, tv fans.
	2:44pm wendy del formaggio: And now I want to take a boat to Puerto Vallarta. Love Boat was ALWAYS going to effin Puerto Vallarta.
	2:44pm tak: rewatched "Isaac's Aegean Affair" the other night. I have a cutout of Isaac at work to it was fun seeing a coworker have some fun
	2:44pm Androu B.: RIP Jack Jones
	2:44pm HyperDose: Praise be to Pseu for having these stalwart members of the community on. Bravo!
	2:44pm tak: so*
	2:44pm Krys O.: Jack's still around, Androu.
	2:46pm Androu B.: Oh, I guess that must've been a rumor someone started. Good to know he's still around. Maybe they've hired him for that new LB cruise that's running now.
	2:48pm Ochre Ogre: Just checked WIKI, didn't know Bernie, Ruth B Ginsburg and Chuck Schumer all went to James Madison High School in Sheepshead Bay.
	2:51pm Annette: Good old Sheepshead Bay* my hometown except I went to Sheepshead Bay high school
	2:52pm listener 126464: Great show Pseu, Alan & Fred!
	2:52pm Patrick S.: This show was amazing. What a treat.
	2:53pm TimSF: Thank you Pseu what great show you gave us. Really funny and enjoyable.
	2:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu, Alan, and Fred! It's been a monumental show! Well done!
	2:53pm radioronan: This was fantastic...Thanks Alan, Fred and Pseu!
	2:53pm paddy in matawan: oh im using that line. I just let out a spoiler by accident about Clerks III and felt so bad. I edited it out the next day and hopefully minimized damage .
	2:53pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Between the two of them, I think there's at least one 'Teddy' from "Bob's Burgers".
	2:53pm WFMU listener WADE: the doctors are paid and billed to insurance differently. Nurses are billed to the insurance under the same expense code as the bed, food, housing and not by the actual work they do. just fyi. so we are seen as an expense that can be reduced - like less expensive sheets or equipment. great show! thanks for the RN appreciation.
	2:53pm Roberto: I hate when they don't laugh.
	2:55pm toronto WFMU fan: Best afternoon of radio EVER. These are the stories we need, pure unfiltered life told hilariously
	2:55pm McGroovey: Great guys! It was great to hear their stories. I've had blue-collar and white-collar jobs. The low-paying jobs I had were a lot more work than the high-paying ones, and less secure, no matter how good I was or how hard I worked.
	2:56pm Annette: Thanks so much Pseu and fellow Brooklynite guests
	2:56pm Jack McGuire: Wonderful show! Thanks all 3!
	2:57pm winston legthigh: thanks alan, fred, pseu. that was big fun!
	2:57pm paddy in matawan: Thanks everone! Love!

	2:58pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Pseu, Alan and Fred!
