Santa himself came to visit Bob that night, and told him that he shouldn't choose - he should do both at once. That night, the core of the Santa Sabbath discography was conceived."

Success! We are LIVE!

HAPPY HANUKKAH!!

Hooray for more live radio!

Happppppppy hanukkah !!!! woop woop

Wow, what a journey!

Got the audio working with two minutes to spare and then had a mono / stereo issue that caused the first song to have no vocals the first time through!

Meyer has been OBSESSED with this song!!

It is absurdly good. A new Hanukkah classic.

do u know what happened with the first issue? and that second issue sounds bizarre

Oops, looks like you didn't do that thing you have to do to make our comments visible in the chat.

Thanks, Bud!

omg speaking of a puppy for Hanukkah, we might get a cat for Christmas. animals for all

The first issue was that the password WAS correct but the old user name had saved.

The second issue was insert vs. line on my board.

A full on cat or a kitten? Do you have a specific cat in mind? Long hair? Short hair? Orange? Tuxedo?

WHAT WILL YOU NAME THE CAT?!?!

short hair ! no specific cat in mind, gotta discuss more with los parents, I was thinking we should adopt a cat because I assume theyre adopted less than kittens but idk.! it is in the works

ive been looking on Petfinder lol. im not entirely sure if you can visit shelters now but that'd be cool if we do end up getting one lol

great question, jon. my mom loves pets with very human names like Craig or Tina. we'll see about that hahaha

I heard someone on a podcast say earlier this very morning that all pet names should be one syllable.

hahaha. why? cus they sound better? or easier for the pets

Because when they get out and you have to run around calling for them it is much easier to say!

I had an old boss with a dog named "grandma" and when the dog got out there he was in the middle of a busy street yelling "GRANDMA! GRANDMA!"

oh noooo hahahah

Thanks to ML and Dante for the assist in getting the show properly sent into your ears. Was a moment there where it seemed unlikely!

There are so many kittens! Old kitties are nice because you know what they are like in advance. Kittens are fun because they're kittens!

yes exactly! thats the other reason why an older cat would be better, so we know what they're like in advance. but yes there are also so many kittens. ahhh !

and also, kittens ! so cute

do you accept cash app??

Meyer offered up a furry smarty candy from under the couch, I'll send it to the PO box

Wow, this is a very different experience than my last 32 Wednesdays!

Adopt! Adopt! Adopt a pet!

THE HANUKKAH YOU DESERVE.

Thank you, Meyer. That sounds delicious.

Dreidel Kennedys

yes yes ofc adopt

We just heard a live over zoom version of this song from the Workers Circle Yiddish School "latke palooza" kinder club program yesterday!

I believe the band that just finished has an actual rabbi in the mix.

Yes, all sets this show *are* eight songs long...

Happy Hannukah Jon! Any chance next year (hopefully in normal times by then) you will do a show/set at Johnny Brendas in Philly before Christmas like you did a few years ago?? I was there and it was awesome! Thanks.

I'll probably do something somewhere if it is safe to do so. Last year I DJ'd a craft fair at Fleisher Art Memorial for pre-Xmas and it was super fun!

Happy Hanukkah!

Sounds great!

Happy Hanukkah Jon!

Thanks, Pat. All those pre-show live tests and it still almost didn't work as intended!

Was very stressful and also almost undone by something very small. Sheesh.

the lowly krill

(i missed whatever the small thing really was.)

This remains the only version of Little Drummer Boy I can bear

Had a little bit of the updated login info saved wrong to push audio properly. I guess that's why you go live 10 minutes early, to make sure! A re-run aired for 90 seconds and then I was able to get onto the transmitter (figuratively).

The lowly krill indeed.

Lowly but pesky!

Baleen maintenance is key

I'm digging the 8-song-long sets

Hey, Betsy!

hello! happy hannukah! happy snowstorm!

This is good soup radio.

Need power to hold for 90 more minutes, after that do your worst storm (within reason)!

Crazy 8s! Crazy rhythms! Hello!

I can't believe I missed LA Guns!!

LA Guns is nine seconds long!

So it was hard to not miss!

Hahaha

I say "THEY ARE CANDLES!" year-round.

Hey DJ Jon *waves* 👋 Fun show tonight!

LOL "They are CANDLES!"

Glad to have you back in the chat, CD!

Happy Hannukah! ❄❄❄

There is some nice fluffy snow outside! We are eating brats and cabbage! So cozy.

Oh lovely. One minor thing I don't like about my home is the lack of a good view of snow coming down when it is dark out. Back patio light is helping a bit though!

I keep having to go out front for the best view.

A little sleety at present, was fluffy a second ago.

live candle lighting is good radio

(and I've heard both radio magic tricks and radio puppetry)

HH Jon

HH!

So glad you do this & the marathon each year. I think this year is my 23rd or 24th year for the marathon!

Thanks! Can't imagine not doing it!

shakin' my tookis to the Glenn Crytzer Orchestra!

Nice. Shake away!

Here is our menorah in action - https://www.instagram.com/p/CI4MRsvD-cF/

nice pic!

Thanks. Glad I cropped out my thumb from this one!

where the latkes?

are

In general? We made ours two nights ago, let me see if I can get one defrosted in time for my next mic break (though I am full of black bean soup).

Is this Shrimper? I forget

Close. The Goblins, same tape as Shrimper recording artist The Moutain Goats though (hope I don't run out of time before that one)...

does playing a song tonight mean the song cannot be played again during the 25 hr marathon?

Anybody else think this singer sounds a little like Jon?

It does not necessarily.

Who says it isn't?!

Well, save the band.

Seriously, please hold me to adding an hour to this show next year. It is time and I've got enough music to do it successfully (and then some).

Also, next year Hanukkah begins on Sunday, November 28?!?!

that's enough to do two marathons with adequate recovery time in between

Seriously!

Glad I looked it up NOW.

thanksgiving bam! hannukah. i like having a year to prepare for that.

also i do love this Sharon Jones tune.

Lovely Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. 💗 And YES to a 4-hour marathon in 2021!

Who knows, perhaps I'll find enough material to make it five but hopefully I'm back at WPRB and all is well next Hanukkah!

I'll drink (tea) to that!

Mango seltzer on this end, but same.

Your the best...simply the best.

yay mango seltzer!

That's very nice of you to say, Mike.

Brian D ... did you like that Jorma live stream?

this track is great

Going to end up with at least 11 songs I meant to play tonight. Even with the four minutes (probably less) I lost up top, there's plenty left over for 2021!

Story of my life, can’t wait till X Mass!

great show, Jon

Great show Jon! Can't wait for the 24 hour Holiday Show this year! Happy Hannukkah! Happy Holidays!

Thanks Jon. Time for me to switch to a Richard Thompson streaming live show!

Thank you, DJ Jon! Can't wait for 12/24!

Brian D will check it out, if I can locate it.

great hanukah show! thanks!

Thanks everyone! Until 12/24!

already looking forward to the 4-hr version next year

Well, still a couple more tracks tonight...

Bye!
