	8:05pm mariano: Hey Becky, Crew, everyone!
	8:05pm P-90: In distinguished company on this board tonight I see.
	8:06pm Colleen: I've been enjoying this show so much Becky... This totally is my Dad!... well... in a Merl Haggard way... not that my Moms a drunken waitress!
	8:06pm Gaylord Fields: Becky, I'm looking forward to next week's hourlong musical tribute to teetotalers.
	8:06pm Colleen: That I was aware of...
	👻 8:07pm Mr. Fine Wine: Oh, I didn't do much, Gaylord!
	8:07pm ultradamno: He's starting to undercut his regretful sentiment.
	8:07pm Gaylord Fields: @MFW: Becky set you up, and you knocked it back.
	👻 8:07pm Handy Haversack: Two songs about drinking?! That has to empty the well! Hey, ultradamno!
	8:08pm ultradamno: Hiya Handy!
	👻 8:09pm Handy Haversack: Oh, yes. Kate has played at Freddy's several times. Love that place. Sigh. Becky, another band that has played there that you might like a lot is Big High Hills --digital album free on Bandcamp.
	8:09pm Becky: The expression "gettin' tight" has gone out of favor, it seems.
	8:10pm Miles: It was this "Hangovers" LP that introduced me to Jean Sheppard . it seemed like a musical revelation to me
	👻 8:10pm Handy Haversack: It's always a Chandler novel someplace ...
	8:10pm mariano: Yeah, "gettin' tight," and also using "stoned" to mean drunk.
	8:11pm ultradamno: Along with the variant 'tight as a tick'
	8:12pm Becky: Jean Shepard was one of the all-time greats. I could listen to her forever.
	8:14pm JakeGould: Oh Becky! What a crap day and week it has been for me personally and the world. Thank you for sharing this audio drink. clink
	8:15pm Becky: Sorry to hear that, JG. Hope this can be a small salvo.
	8:15pm mr_donutsu: Stompin Tom!!!
	8:17pm mr_donutsu: He brought a board with him on stage as to not wear a whole in it - with his trademark heel stomp.
	8:17pm JakeGould: Indeed it is as I stare at the moon, Jupiter (to the left) and Saturn (further to the left and down). To this music and the stars!
	8:21pm McGroovey: Man. Good thing I didn't have any sharp tools or I wasn't on a high ledge during that Wanda Jackson song, or I might not have been able to type this comment. Kinda sad.
	8:21pm Scott Williams: Dammit, almost 5 hours til shift change and I can toss one back with y'all
	👻 8:22pm Mr. Fine Wine: Love that expression, "get drunk and be somebody." Really sums up a certain phenomenon quite eloquently.
	8:23pm johnzor: that's it Im done... my demons won. gonna drown my sorrow in ice cream
	8:24pm ultradamno: 'I'm for everything that's wet' That is one highly quotable song.
	8:24pm Doug in JC: @Handy "eating while we listen ... " <<< wrong choice buddy
	👻 8:24pm Handy Haversack: I have more demons where that came from.
	👻 8:25pm Handy Haversack: Don't worry, Doug! Swiftly corrected!
	8:25pm Doug in JC: Cheers!
	8:25pm JakeGould: Getting drunk and being somebody is really some puritanical thinking right there. Enjoy yourself without a drink! Be amazing with a few drinks!
	8:27pm Gaylord Fields: Yes!
	8:27pm Becky: <3 Gaylord
	8:28pm Gaylord Fields: <3 Becky <3 CR
	8:28pm Jason from Houston: ꒰˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩ ꒱♡ ♡ ♡

	8:29pm JakeGould: @Jason: Show me some booze themed ASCMOJI.
	8:30pm slugluv1313: Willie Nelson?? DRINGKING?!?!

	8:30pm Colleen: It's amazing how I forgot I knew these lyrics....
	8:31pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	👻 8:31pm Handy Haversack: I'm scared too, slugluv! Kate's waiting for the happy drinking songs ... Colleen!!!!
	8:31pm Jason from Houston: Let me see... It may look bad. Hahaha...
	8:31pm ultradamno: @slug one does get the cottenmouth
	8:32pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey there slugluv!
	8:33pm slugluv1313: hahahhahhahaha @ Handy and @ultradamno
	8:33pm mr_donutsu: A good dad would take his kids with him to the tavern.
	8:34pm slugluv1313: hi Pauly! how is Clifton today? now i wanna be getting liquored up with my Grandma :)
	👻 8:35pm Handy Haversack: Kate notes that it's usually in the second verse that these songs take an even darker turn.
	8:35pm Pauly from Clifton: mr_donutsu...my Dad would! The owner would set me up with pork rinds and a Pepsi! Ah, the good old days!
	8:36pm slugluv1313: @ mr_donutsu -- oh i know soooo many who grew up in families where the parents would send the kids to the tavern next door, down the street, etc. for whatever
	8:37pm JakeGould: @MrFineWine: Crap day. Crap week. This show is good. Yours too!
	8:37pm Sketch: I'm drinking a cape may brewing city to shore iipa and making some dank fucking pork chops and baked potatoes
	8:37pm Pauly from Clifton: slugluv, Alls well, thanks! I hear ya! Grandparents were always the best.
	8:37pm mr_donutsu: Pork Rinds and brined sausages FTW!!!
	👻 8:38pm Mr. Fine Wine: May things improve, JakeGould!
	8:38pm Sketch: I've also got a fat spliff for after dinner and my wife's doing her hair
	8:38pm Doug in JC: @Sketch I had a city to shore with dinner!
	8:38pm Jason from Houston: °༚°༚ ⌯(･＿．)ノ
	8:39pm JakeGould: Indeed! Hope you are doing good too.
	8:39pm Becky: Are dank fucking pork chops good or bad? I'm not good with new adjectives.
	8:39pm slugluv1313: @ JakeGould -- sending positive vibes (WITHOUT the "New Age" barf element)
	8:40pm JakeGould: Dan Fuh King’s pork chops are amazing. Tell him “That Jew Jake” sent you.
	8:41pm mr_donutsu: Oh man, this one or his version of Little Old Wine Drinker Me?
	8:41pm Sketch: Dank as fuck is good as fuck
	8:41pm Dave the Spazz: Fake Dean !
	8:42pm Sketch: I go straight to the butcher and I say give me your dankest meat for my coffee grind rub
	8:42pm Sketch: There's nothing like meat on a cast iron grill and sad drunk country
	8:43pm Becky: Fake Deano doing Deano faking drunk
	8:43pm Ian: hi Becky can you do a Freddy's shout out so I can impress my friends lol thanks.
	8:43pm Sketch: Becky I'm friends with Rata so you know I take my food seriously
	👻 8:43pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, JLW, you are taking dark turns.
	8:43pm JakeGould: I don’t thing “dank” should be used to describe food or drink. That’s nasty.
	8:43pm Becky: Ha!!! @Sketch I miss Rata. is sucks
	👻 8:45pm Mr. Fine Wine: Is sucks indeed!
	8:45pm slugluv1313: awww man just remembered The Top O'The Hill Tavern -- in Bridgewater, NJ when i was in high school -- everyone went there b/c it was like the ONE place that did not card anyone (EXCEPT me! i was 18, and the ONLY one in my group who was legal) (yeah the drinking age was 18 back then) -- total honky tonk vibe, i still remember the band, complete with red and gold spangled outfits, huge cowboy hats, etc.
	👻 8:47pm Handy Haversack: Stop me if you've heard this one: A bunch of drunk, crying listeners stumble into EFD's disco dance party ... I keep reading out the title and saying, "This one might be positive!" And Kate keeps pointing out the moment when I become quite wrong. Well, more wine for me!
	8:47pm Sketch: Is very sucks
	8:47pm JakeGould: Shout out to all the drunks sitting in makeshift plywood boxes sitting in parking spaces all over NYC. Getting drunk while getting bus fumes in the face. Risking a car accident knocking them — and the box — to the curb.
	8:48pm Sketch: The show is great as always! Loving it
	8:48pm Becky: Wow JG that lightened the mood
	8:49pm JakeGould: Hey! I respect the reality.
	8:49pm JakeGould: I hope they make the best of it. Genuinely. I mean this is reality now.
	8:51pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱♡BLUE CORN WHISKY♡꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	8:52pm Pauly from Clifton: @slugluv, that tavern sounds cool! I can't believe there were (are?) places like that in Central Jersey,
	👻 8:52pm Handy Haversack: Oh no! Make time stretch. If only there were some sort of wonder drug that promises the world and bring us all of that and more ... Well, cheers, Becky and all! The cause of and solution to. Thanks, Becky, Scott, WFMU!
	8:52pm JakeGould: Now that is nice, Jason! Thank you! Here’s a drink! I will step back six feet and sanitize my hands and put my mask back on.
	8:54pm Jason from Houston: Ahhh! Thank you, Jake. Cheers to you.
	8:56pm ultradamno: Frusterated!
	8:57pm Jason from Houston: I tied the garbage/recycling bins to the fence and brought in my plants and brooms. Time for a drink.
	👻 8:57pm Handy Haversack: Batten down, Jason -- and good luck!
	8:58pm Becky: God, Webb Pierce is good.
	👻 8:58pm Handy Haversack: Oh, yeah.
	8:59pm slugluv1313: @ Pauly -- Top Of The Hill is still there! still with live music (although does not look like the same type i experienced when i was a teenager) -- but family owned for decades! Bridgewater is WAY different from when i grew up in the area, so i am glad they are still there :)
	8:59pm Jason from Houston: Thank you. I feel okay about where I am just southwest of downtown. I worry about Beaumont to Lake Charles. :(((((
	8:59pm BH: Having listened to some songs from a Webb Pierce/Willie Nelson duet album makes me think that "In the Jailhouse Now" is a better duet song than "There Stands the Glass"
	8:59pm ultradamno: I think it's in the book Lawless that it's said "moonshine" is something only northerners say.
	9:00pm Jason from Houston: GAH. THIS IS THE SONG.
	9:00pm slugluv1313: take care, Jason!!!
	9:01pm JakeGould: Thanks Becky!
	9:01pm mariano: Thanks Becky!
	9:01pm Pauly from Clifton: @slugluv, nice when stuff sticks around! @Jason, all the best! Be well all! Thanks, Becky, Scott!
	👻 9:01pm Handy Haversack: Hell of a last shot, Becky. Be well, all!
	9:01pm loveless: From drunk to disco, I go.
	9:01pm slugluv1313: fantastic, Becky -- thanks so much!
	9:01pm Jason from Houston: Thank you.
	9:02pm Jason from Houston: Thank you, DJ Becky!
