	9:23pm ♪Kɛ: Every once in a while, a little freckle of Tourette's sneaks into my brain. This seems like the most appropriate comments section to let it rip: BUTTS! Butts butts butts butts butts butts butts BUTTSBUTTSBUTTS. OK, I'm done. Thanks.
	9:24pm cabroncito: LOL! the deep state...
	9:25pm Marie: yeah, Sportsy Talk was fun. Bronwyn, get your butt back to fmu and Jim.

	9:30pm Jim the Poet: I think i saw Lubed Butts open for Aztec Camera
	9:31pm Old Dave: Jim, I have had a very hard time picking a favorite poet in my 60 years. Besides yourself, and Virgil, who do you say we need to read in 2020?

	9:32pm Jim the Poet: Well Amiri Baraka is coming up next. Maybe him!

	9:34pm Marie: I gotta say, I love Seamus Heaney and Mary Oliver
	9:35pm Jim the Poet: Joe Biden quotes Seamus Heaney all the time. Seamus was a cool guy.
	🌮 9:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jim! You're broadcasting remotely (not at the station)? Are you taking phone calls tonight?
	9:38pm Jim the Poet: We're trying to run a phone line from the Station downtown to my apartment but we're still a mile short with cords. Hopefully soon!
	9:39pm Old Dave: I am for learning their work, thanks Marie! Oliver seems familiar, and yes about Biden. Isn't it nice he can read?
	9:39pm Marie: I like that about Joe B. (unusual for politicians these days, to quote poetry)
	9:40pm Marie: @Old Dave--really, man!!! :>)
	9:43pm Jim the Poet: Trump reads this horrifying poem called The Scorpion sometimes at his rallies
	9:44pm Jim the Poet: Oops I guess it is called The Snake medium.com...

	9:47pm Jim the Poet: I think I'm thinking of a Star Trek Voyager episode

	10:06pm tracy in LA: Great tunes to dance and cook to!
	10:07pm swivs: Stashu and I are in a basement too! We are now basement buddies. It is the mystery of the dance.
	10:07pm Jim the Poet: Hey Swivs

	10:25pm mariano: Yeah chresti (and Franco), hope y'all are breathing ok out there.
	10:26pm Be Now Homeboy: I read there is haze in the air here in NJ from the fires. Could this be?
	10:26pm chresti: Thanks mariano, Franco's at his mom's house in La Puente.
	10:26pm mariano: Who else is in Cali... Carmichael, right?
	10:27pm chresti: Yeah, spodi,...
	10:28pm chresti: Carmichael is by Sacramento.
	10:29pm ParUbi: this hits the spot
	10:31pm mariano: At his mom's house? Has he been grounded again? ;) ParUbi: yeah, this is some beautiful noise.
	10:32pm Danne D: whoa it's Jim the Poet!
	10:32pm Jim the Poet: Hey Danne!
	10:33pm chresti: He went to bake a pie with plums and peaches.
	10:34pm Danne D: @Be Now Homeboy - not unthinkable. I remember one year there was a smoky smell in the air for a few days that was mysterious - turned out to be huge fires in Canada
	10:34pm slugluv1313: greetings, Jim the Poet and Skeletons and Everyone! what a cool surprise! been listening while working on a bunch of stuff @ chresti -- yes, been thinking about you and Franco, WFMUers in California (and Oregon, and Washington) and hoping y'all are okay @ mariano -- unfortunately trump is in CA today -- ugh and yes, this Kevin Drumm is PERFECT! so soothing to my frazzled nerves :)
	10:35pm chresti: And hang out, he's got the place to himself and loves it.
	10:35pm Be Now Homeboy: Danne D - thats amazing to me. Goes to show just how bad the west coast is burning :(
	10:35pm Jim the Poet: HEY SL
	10:36pm chresti: Oh yeah that orange idiot was here.
	10:36pm chresti: Hi slug!
	10:36pm mariano: Mmmm, peach pie!
	10:37pm slugluv1313: @ chresti -- i am so sorry -- the most ineffective, useless wind-bag on the planet :( i am so jealous of Franco's pie baking talents!!!
	10:37pm Danne D: Wow not the first time it's happened - I looked it up to see if it was true and found an article about the 2018 fires - may have to do with where the jet stream is at at any given point in time
	10:38pm Mike Lindgren: what is this madness Jim
	10:39pm Jim the Poet: Hey Mike
	10:41pm slugluv1313: @ Be Here Homeboy -- growing up in NJ, there were always jokes about NJ's crappy polluted air . . . so it is like there is ALWAYS a haze in the air . . . but, it has been exceptionally breezy today, would not be a bit surprised if we are also feeling the effects of the fires
	10:41pm Handy Haversack: brainiac is also Sacramento-ish.
	10:43pm tracy in LA: Peach and plum pie...
	10:44pm slugluv1313: @ chresti -- oops that reads weird, i am so sorry that the orange idiot was in California today
	10:45pm MikeLindgren: ooh this one is trippy!
	10:47pm tracy in LA: Poor gov newsom had to meet with him. Yuk
	10:52pm Danne D: I wanna go to an arcade now
	10:53pm Be Now Homeboy: lol Danne .. I know I want to play Atari or a cool pinball machine
	10:54pm Jim the Poet: Danne always beats me at NBA JAM
	10:54pm Danne D: HE'S ON FIRE!!!
	10:56pm mariano: Be Now Homeboy: Twilight Zone! Haven't played that pinball table in years, would be cool to find one.
	10:56pm tracy in LA: Air hockey!
	10:57pm Danne D: If you're in NJ, Marino Silverball Museum is Asbury Park has that one and a ton more from many decades
	10:57pm chresti: Ha, Gavin: uh, 45% of land belongs to the federal govt., when orange blister suggested the fires were caused by mis-management of the forests in CA
	10:59pm Danne D: Everyone has a crush on Michele
	11:00pm Jim the Poet: It's true
	11:00pm chresti: Franco does @Danne
	11:03pm chresti: That's my go to bed que, Jim, got to head to bed, still listening to this great show, thanks!
	11:03pm chresti: cue
	11:04pm slugluv1313: Q-Bert! i loved playing that but would always deliberately LOSE because i loved the sound Q-Bert made at his demise :) there was an arcade in Hoboken (called Mr. Big's, i think?) when i moved here in 1981 -- it had every game imaginable, pinball machines too, iirc -- so i was there a LOT
	11:05pm slugluv1313: good night, chresti!
	11:06pm Danne D: Shorty's Coney Island in Seattle is a great place for pinball :) has about a dozen or so machines
	11:06pm Danne D: G'night chresti :)
	11:06pm Jim the Poet: Thanks Chresti!
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Jim and Poetry fans
	11:09pm Danne D: Kat :D
	11:10pm Jim the Poet: Hey DJ Kat!
	11:10pm Kat in Chicago: Danne! It's been a minute!
	11:11pm Danne D: That it has :) Happy to see you :)
	11:13pm Be Now Homeboy: the pinball museum in asbury is pretty awesome if its still there
	11:13pm ♪Kɛ: Some of the Q*Bert arcade machines made a rattling THUNK when you died, so I always imagined some of them had a big ball inside that they dropped to make that noise. The truth is less romantic, per arcade-museum.com: "The... cabinets include a knocker solenoid that activates whenever a character falls off the pyramid. The effect creates a rather loud knock inside the cabinet.... The solenoid is the same type that was used in many older pinball machines to indicate that a free game had been awarded."
	11:15pm Be Now Homeboy: who didn't love haring hat knock sound you knew something good happened
	11:18pm Danne D: THOCK
	11:23pm moontana: wow, bruce andrews! how 'bout some p. inman or alan davies.
	11:24pm ?: Your Playlist is a colorblind test. Might want to change the font & background colors.
	11:25pm Danne D: whoa
	11:25pm Jim the Poet: Better??
	11:25pm mb: Ask and ye shall receive
	11:26pm Kat in Chicago: Just when I was getting used to highlighting everything so I could read it, haha
	11:27pm Danne D: now you can highlight everything so you can't read it :)
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: I like this better than Sufjan
	11:35pm Jim the Poet: Now I can't stop changing all the colors
	11:35pm Be Now Homeboy: my room just light up yellow ;)
	11:36pm Danne D: Now I suddenly have to pee
	11:36pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:36pm Jim the Poet: Was Night Mode better?
	11:39pm Be Now Homeboy: I loved the yellow
	11:40pm Kat in Chicago: Ouch
	11:41pm Be Now Homeboy: lol I love it the gifs pop
	11:41pm Kat in Chicago: I kind of like it tbh
	11:46pm tracy in LA: Still dancin
	11:47pm mariano: It's like the Sleaford Mods' vaudeville cousins predecessors.
	11:47pm devlawn: this song is good regardless of the lighting.
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: I always forget that a British "fruit machine" does not in fact dispense fruit.
	11:51pm Jim the Poet: Too bad!
	11:52pm Kat in Chicago: I have seen orange-dispensing machines in the Montreal subway, however.
	11:55pm Jim the Poet: Thanks, everyone! Stay tuned for Zoe B!
	11:56pm devlawn: no thank you
	11:57pm Jim the Poet: Thanks to Scott and the Skeleton Crew!

	10:37pm Danne D: Wow not the first time it's happened - I looked it up to see if it was true and found an article about the 2018 fires - may have to do with where the jet stream is at at any given point in time
	10:38pm Mike Lindgren: what is this madness Jim
	10:39pm Jim the Poet: Hey Mike
	10:41pm slugluv1313: @ Be Here Homeboy -- growing up in NJ, there were always jokes about NJ's crappy polluted air . . . so it is like there is ALWAYS a haze in the air . . . but, it has been exceptionally breezy today, would not be a bit surprised if we are also feeling the effects of the fires
	10:41pm Handy Haversack: brainiac is also Sacramento-ish.
	10:43pm tracy in LA: Peach and plum pie...

	11:10pm Jim the Poet: Hey DJ Kat!
	11:10pm Kat in Chicago: Danne! It's been a minute!
	11:11pm Danne D: That it has :) Happy to see you :)
	11:13pm Be Now Homeboy: the pinball museum in asbury is pretty awesome if its still there
	11:13pm ♪Kɛ: Some of the Q*Bert arcade machines made a rattling THUNK when you died, so I always imagined some of them had a big ball inside that they dropped to make that noise. The truth is less romantic, per arcade-museum.com: "The... cabinets include a knocker solenoid that activates whenever a character falls off the pyramid. The effect creates a rather loud knock inside the cabinet.... The solenoid is the same type that was used in many older pinball machines to indicate that a free game had been awarded."
	11:15pm Be Now Homeboy: who didn't love haring hat knock sound you knew something good happened
	11:18pm Danne D: THOCK
	11:23pm moontana: wow, bruce andrews! how 'bout some p. inman or alan davies.
