O coolz

Crank Some Frank !!!!

hi richard! welcome

i love that song! featured in medium cool

LOng Live Haskell Wexler (R.I.P.)

yes, liz!

Have not seen Dave in a while. Some good conversations with him. Used to run into him all the time at "The Bar" (aka J&Ps in Hope)

i am a big ashby fan, they had a long coolab, as you know

collab

I haven’t shown Hattie Medium Cool yet, but I showed her Days of Heaven a couple weeks ago. I was like APPRECIATE THAT CINEMATOGRAPHY, CHILD! She liked it but not the MANY close-ups of locusts

x-ray spex!!

Love Hal Ashby. Waiting to show her Harold & Maude soon. I remember and loved your Ashby doc interview!

HeyOoo, Stevie P !

LOVE DAYS OF HEAVEN! Sorry I’m late in reading that 😆 (working at the moment)

i have to see days of heaven again. Brooke adams, love

Hola, senor ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ

brooke adams -- 70s it girl

loved her in invasion of the body snatchers

BAUHAUS 🖤

Brooke Adams is in 2 of my favorite movies: Days of Heaven & Allison Anders’ Gas, Food, Lodging !

pod people ?

love gas, food, lodging and mi vida loca, too (tho she is not in that but it is anders)

Give me and Terrence Malick 🙌 excellent cinematography

yeah, me too

Special appearance by DJ LizBot! 🤖

Harold and Maude is probly my fave of all time. Saw it at about 10 11 yrs age. Newtown theater a cool old school joint in Bucks Co. Early 1980s. Mom said i HAD to see it. Dropped me off and then... hooked. Watched it 20+ more times on cable in the years just after. Thanks mom!

so sweet. great memory.

yes, mr. m! lizbot is the BEST.

#Facts

Typo? @Brian D. Pretty sure he meant 1880’s.

Gas, Food, Lodging ❤️

haha, mr. m... and yes love gas, food, lodging

WEEN❣️

i am with you, mr. m:)

Can you say that word at noon o’clock ???

yes i believe i can...

Oooh, which Donovan song?!

what are the seven words???????

i did in the studio when he came to the studio... so...

hurdy gurdy, lizbot

Nice!

george carlin!

I’ll just look it up, no need to add them to the chat 😃

I remember seeing Dave with Ween on local cable access tv (the Nothing Really Show) in 1997. He was new to band. The post Andrew Weiss era began. That was a fun show. They had pale white / grey make up on. Claude had a big mask & had to really scream loud for his vocal parts on Final Alarm.

gotcha...i did watch the depressing film lenny again not too long ago

ha song title is actually smile at me again/ kk went to oxford too

haha, love that story, bri

yes, mark! i will play from when he was in studio a little later on

My band played on the show the month before. That show was great for the local Bucks Co bands. Ween was huge and probably the biggest band they had on there

Saw Donovan at the Tin Angel 20 years ago and got a photo with him on ye olde disposable camera, which the old Rite Aid that used to be on 15th & Locust LOST...had some epic Halloween party photos on it too. Never got over that one! At least I brought all my Donovan records (swiped from my parents’ collection, ha!) and he signed them all!

beautiful and heartbreaking story as well, lizbot!

nice, bri d! love local access programming

Dave's resume is crazy!

I watched that show Bri!

I love digging through youtybe for cable access performances.

but I caught that one live

Yeah ha. It was structured like a network late night tv talk show. Intro music, monologue, guests, musical guest etc. John Heitzenrater was the host.

hey colin! welcome

i will look up on the youtube:)

I haven't seen it since the air date. Looks like I got a Friday night "concert" to re-attend.

good idea

Look up the Ween show at Warrington Roller Rink from mid 90s on you tube. Good time

I was there irl! actually my first ween show

whoa!!

Chris Harford mention! Everybody go check out Chris's music. What a catalog of songs ...

Yo, heard you're talking about Ween

yes, i agree...chris was my first interview/performance on the station. great guy

hi, fr1day!!

Dave Double Dip Dreiwitz bass man interview right now fr1dayaft...

Yeah it's a good one!

(My WPRB chat is sporadic because I'm working. Blame The Man)

thanks for listening!

Ha!

just cleared my meeting schedule, joining the fun

i am about to offend liz bot next... i dis donald fagen haha

not really a dis...

oops! thick is a brick is a whole album haha

Bursting Out live has some funny stage patter moments.

Yep. Living in the Past rec in NJ. Also... in 5/4 time

hi tom!!

Haha, I might be playing Living In the Past tonight, if I get to it (it’s late in the playlist and Readie & I talk a lot!)

Ha i tied Dave for that

you guys are so sophisticated with your movies. I'm a Crocodile Dundee guy myself

nice, liz!

hi ookla!!!

cool, bri!

Dissed Fagan! Well I never! (No, I’ve heard he’s a jerk)

hey, lay off donald fagen!

hahaha i said i knew i was pushing some buttons

Leon Redone had Donald beat.... i think Leon didn't listen to anything pre 1920. . Ha

liz you've done a fagen show, right? i do like some steely dan songs... it was just an interview I heard

whoa, bri

I like the Dan, but I Fagan’s public persona is a bit music snob! He’s also very tongue in cheek, though. He & Becker had a very funny blog 15/20 years ago, around the time of the famed Yacht Rock series of joke videos!

I exaggerate... but Leon did feature the early 20th century music mostly

Erica, I played a tribute for Walter Becker when he died Labor Day weekend a few years back

But yes, I also whip out the Dan occasionally!

Maybe Idiot Wind from Blood on Tracks? Aaron busted that one out before

that was it! right:). it was. agreat show, liz

oooh, nice, bri!

And George met Walter Becker at the Columbus Circle Wholefoods and told him to “Surf and/or die!”

haha, nice! "you guys are so sophisticated with your movies. I'm a Crocodile Dundee guy myself" ookla. i like electric cowboy! so there

super cool, liz

ha lizbot i remember that tribute show / it was fantastic- weren’t u near Bard when he died ?

Croc D is ok by me. But it's not quite Priscilla Queen of the Desert....

@Mark- Yes! I was attending my husband’s cousins’ wedding up there that Labor Day weekend. Listened to Steely Dan alllll weekend! drive home was brutal in the LB returning traffic through Nyc. You have a great memory!

hot sauce shop guy in town said Ween is playing with Les Claypool (resch from last year)

cool

I was there too, and saw Walter Becker in the Wholefoods hot bar and said to G “that is one VERY Walter Becker-looking guy!” and George said that IS WB, and I’m gonna talk to him! Becker was super friendly during short chat and seemed to appreciate George knew his solo stuff (Surf & Or Die is a solo song of his related to his time living in Maui!)

suh-weet

DJ Esoterica, very nice interview! Looking forward to the music!

haha the reason i remember is becuz a woman who went to Bard got me to really understand & appreciate steely dan / I think they are under appreciated

thx!

She kept her child clean, on Buckingham Green!

love DJE interviews

awww thanks so much

yes!

She kept her child clean, on Buckingham Green!

Mickey solo Dean Ween Band w Dave opening up for Primus in Asbury Pk about 5 - 6 yrs ago was lots o fun.

@Mark - My Old School was about Bard AND that song they wrote about the Moonies out there!

@Mark- Barrytown! Moonies galore in the 60s & 70s

sounds soooo fun, bri! "Mickey solo Dean Ween Band w Dave opening up for Primus in Asbury Pk about 5 - 6 yrs ago was lots o fun"

Did someone just mention Susie’s Hot Shop?! Buncha Ween fans there!

Ookla the Mok - Are you referring to Susie’s Hot Shop?

haha i love the song Barry town & it’s moonie theme

Whoa this Notekillers rocks

Suzie’s Hot Shoppppe, rather. Home of the Boognish, evidently

@lizbot Chevy chase played w band at bard for a bit !

I drive by Buckingham Green on my way to the pool. Shopping centet right near the Byoak Farm a practice space Ween was using circa Mollusk mid late 90s. Site of where Aaron previewed me & some others a new song on my mandolin he borrowed for a minute. Just sitting on the stoop of the farm house. It turned out to be Ocean Man. Told that story here before but retold for fund drive!

Yeah, that was a KILLER Notekillers track. Have seen them a handful of times

yes LizBot!

Brian D, my living room sofa is from a Craigslist person located in Buckingham! I was like, it’s fated to be!

Holicong Mountain visible across the street!

Just Food in Buckingham Green is fantastic

@Brian D, that’s amazing! I love Ocean Man, it pops into my head frequently! I’d love to be at that house in LBI when they recorded The Mollusk!

Ookla, I gotta get back to Buckingham. I need to do a Bucks excursion this spring. I was out there way more when I was regularly driving to the station

3 bits 🪙🪙🪙 for Brian D’s reTelling of Tales for the pledge drive!!

J&Ps would put a 6pack holder of hot sauces from Susie's out on the tables. I remember Susie's in the old small location on S Main. Sampled many hot sauces!

i will check that out, ookla (just food)

i remember susie's, too!

Eso: Just Food has the most amazing kale salad

RADIOHEAD 🤎

i need that! #kale

yes, mr. m!

deets of the kale salad

i love singing this! hey newsflash! next week! sonic booom sing-a-long!

booom BLOOM

Ba-LOOOOOM!!

on zoom ?

The pool behind the hotel on 202 is a good hang. Clarion. Bar. Chill. Nice scenery out back there. Can't wait til they open!

anyone watch this? I have it lined up 4 tonight: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11394468/

SONIC SingSongAlong BLOOOOM

On my watch list ookla

go gos doce was pretty good, few times I wish there was more detail but pretty comprhensive

Hail all ye Bloomers! <3 <3 <3 Watts' words remind me of that Eric Gaffney era Sebadoh song off what? 'The Freed Weed'? 'The Freed Man'? entitled 'True Hardcore'. It's one of my favorite manifestoes to this day.

LOVE Zevon

I Love This song !

Read Kathy Valentine's book. Pretty good.

Hold me tighter

yes! me, too, tom! one of my faves!!

there's a great video of GG Allin covering this song on an acoustic guitar

This is So Cal classic. One of Warren 's best ya

will check out, bri! can't keep with your reading speed. still need to crack open shakey haha

yes!

Haven’t heard High & Dry in a long time. Had a pretty intense fan phase around 1995-98 and got the band to sign my copy of that and a buncha singles and early stuff. In a shiny silver marker, purdy! I guess when Radiohead was all huge from OK Computer I coulda sold it for $$$

pioneer chicken stand

Just about finished Johnny Rotten "No ... No..." etc book. Good read. Lots o diff views / interviews from other characters in the story getting their take on things

Dave D band Instant Death (and Instant Folk Death) was great. Before everybody had a duo band. RIP Scotty Byrne.

this is great version/ relistened awhile back when one of the sonic Bloom interviews segued into this one

yes he will talk about instant death (and scotty). r.i.p.

fun fact : dave d played w donovan!

whoa... i forgot that

@Mark, nice! Not to be confused with Donovan’s friend “Gypsy Dave”

Great music book I recommend if I can make a recommendation is How Music Got Free. I'm about 2/3 through it now. About the creation of the mp3/online piracy and how it affected physical media, etc.

thx! fr1day! i'll look it up

He dispelled the myth of who hurdy gurdy man drummer was !

sound is good no?? wprb studio rocks!

Awesome sound :)

i agree

There's an awesome sound goin' down

Such a treat! I am so impressed. :-)

So pretty!

nice!

Fr1day... ditto. Loved that How Music Got Free book. Just read 2nd time.

i love this song!

💀🔨

Also mentioned b4 I Want My MTV. Great read for music fans

donovan told him drummer was not bonham but actually clem catini session drummer who I hadn’t heard of before this interview

yes, mr. m

who’s this song by ?

@mark, apparently Gypsy Dave died in 2019. Gyp Mills, also known as Gypsy Dave, English sculptor and songwriter, died June 18, 2019 . Interesting about Clem Catini. Gotta look for that interview

Ah yes when Donovan invented Led Zep. Some say Alan Holdsworth was lead gtr on Hurdy Gurdy. Or Alan Parker....

scott byrne, instant death

hurdy gurdy cameo soon

Gibby & Bholes version so great

yeah to go deeper clem catini was very close to being the zep drummer - it’s interesting story :)

yes on both counts, bri and mark

fantastic hurdy drop into this !

wow 6 degrees. I was looking @ J&P's website. see 'benefit for joe rose'. I just got a tattoo at his shop last week. Had no idea who he was.

Bippity boppity hat time....

Cool, Dana! there's a great video of GG Allin covering this song on an acoustic guitar

Teresa: I will check this out... "Hail all ye Bloomers! <3 <3 <3 Watts' words remind me of that Eric Gaffney era Sebadoh song off what? 'The Freed Weed'? 'The Freed Man'? entitled 'True Hardcore'. It's one of my favorite manifestoes to this day."

yes, ookla...was that a recent jnp post?

hal parker was guitarist on hurdy gurdy not jimmy page as rumored/ john paul Jones tho was on record

Yes JPJ claims it was Parker. There's an interview get Eso....JPJ

will do

last month according to their website

no matter who played on that song it is THE BEST

one of those songs i've loved since i was a kid that reassures me that my musical instincts have almost always been pretty darn good

harrys hot dog / no one puts ketchup on a hot dog :)

ill be at John and Peters. 10 min walk for me :)

good cause, ookla.

man, haven't been to J&P's in so long. love playing there, always a fun time

true, mark! from the dirty harry soundatrck

haha i was at J&P last weekend / it’s a great place & has nice patio

hi commie! welcome. i agree

Carpet the 🐈 reminds me of one of my favorite parts in the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary where she thinks carpets are pets for one’s car! R.I.P. Beverly Cleary. Carpet the Cat is a great cat name

true, mark... lotsa good times there

hell yes KK.

awww, liz

Hey Commie!

this bootlet is worth a look: https://www.amazon.com/Record-Plant-april-Kristofferson-Friends/dp/B072ZC87PH

Wow, special appearance by DJ CommieFrancis! CF!

i will check it out! im lucky I archive these chats!

Saw Robyn Hitchcock perform his Dirty Harry ode at John and Peter's in 2008. "A Man's Got To Know His Limitations Briggs". An Eso fave on the show here

yes, commie in the house!!! woot

Don’t tempt me to play another Donovanathon, cuz once to start playing those records I can’t stop!

DJ Dana!!

Right channel...

go to J&P just for the pictures on wall: Robyn tiny tim etc

Dana K in one ear, Esoterica in the other. FTW

haha liz! yes i tempt/challenge you!

totallly

in one ear and out the other:)

I still feel weird about slipping Robyn Hitchcock a drawing of a cake labeled “cake”. I thought he’d appreciate my favorite NY Chinatown pastry- an odd little chocolate cake labeled “cake” in icing. I think he was just confused but he has just so many songs about food, and something he said during his show for the Ole Tarantula tour reminded me of this cake and I drew it during the show and gave it to him when he was briefly at the mercy table

Haha

haha lizbot yes one leads to another / jennifer juniper!!

Hattie keeps swiping my PRB shirts! Spreading PRB fandom to the youth!

I talked Robyn 's ears off post show on stage at J&Ps. He was drenched in sweat 2 shirt changes ago. He was gracious and distracted but answered my questions & heard my comnents...ha

good book from last year was by jennifer Boyd / mick fleet wood wife / she was song title inspiration for jennifer juniper- Donovan was infatuated w her

you folks are youngins, been listening to PRB since the mid 80's

no worries, lizbot! i went up to robyn just after our chat on WPRB (of course a phone interview, mind you) and said hi, I'm esoterica and he seems nonplussed. BTW (personal pet peeve! "nonplussed does not mean "unfazed haha" though now merriam-webster has amended the def to included the "wrong" def!

plus she’s a fascinating woman / it’s a great book

another pet peeve dangling parentheses! haha bad eso

Ha! King’s Hwy. I know that Acme. Lots of memories driving around there listening to PRB in the early 90s. That was a great Atom & His Package show!

Moi nonplus

wonderful tom!!

haha word & grammar lessons too :)

you are a haddonfield woman!

yup...

Haha, our ACMe was a 1600s Hicksite (Edward Hicks who painted The Peaceable Kingdom founded the Hicksite Quakers) Friends Meeting House that got bulldozed in the 70s to make an Acme!! No wonder Haddonfield got all uptight about preservation after that. JK, they were always uptight!

Another Boyd book music related... Joe Boyd's White Bicycles Making Music in the 1960s

LOVE Dana’s story about that teacher. I always remember the few super special teachers who really got me

dana was cracking m eup

me, too. @lisbot

chatters: when did u first start listening to prb? Mine during Bowie memorial week when he passed RIP :(

haha LiZBOT

the edits ❤️

yeah, mr. m

Mid to late 1980s

lmao i appreciate you leaving all of our bloopers in

yo, you made me laugh so hard. ward said it was cute and awkward!

SLEATER-KINNEY❣️

It was around 2001, in the wake of 9-11, and we had recently moved to Pennington, NJ, in June, from Brooklyn. The local NPR was beating the drum of support for conflicts in the Middle East. Depressed and fed up, I turned to 103.3 and Art Andrews was playing a Chrome song! My eldest son who is autistic was about 5 at the time. But his favorite band was Chrome (because I listened to it a lot) and he turned to the radio, his eyes got all big, and he murmurred "Chrome" reverently. Hooked I was!

@teresa, that's amazing!

NICE 💝 @TeresaPeacock!

Love that story, Teresa!

great story Teresa/ i think my first song was wailing wall from low : never expected to hear it on the radio that’s what hooked me

Ooooo, 'Wailing Wall'! Lovely memory, Mark! <3

so glad for these setlists you guys post. I knew you played Love last week and i was able to confirm it haha

Forever Changes has been in my car for months now

me, too! ookla

haha E plays game theory version which is fantastic:)

man i listened to that freedom of choice comp that the tiny lights song was on incessantly as a teen

neat, commie!

there are definitely some songs i heard first on that comp, including the one elvis costello song i like

game theory coming up

when i heard who you were interviewing my first thought was that song on that comp

nice...

I want "Nuttier than a squirrel turd" as my epitaph. LOL. That's dark, I know...

haha

Funny PRB memory was hearing 2 djs cracking themselves up by playing a silly song from a Strawberry Shortcake kids LP. Strawberry Rap. The djs would break in and "answer " Strawberry's vocals to "... sing strawww- Strawberry Rap!..." (djs cut the sound and shout STRAWBERRY RAP! in stoner laugh style) and turn on song audio again.... lather rinse repeat. Well a month or so later maybe longer that song i noticed again was a PRB Station ID for the ages!

perfect! bri i love that

Awwwwwwwww! ❤️

YES!! WPRB IS HOME

I heard those guys do that while driving in the snow. We left work early due to the snow. Going through the snow covered roads and cracking up with them to the Strawberry madness

so true, liz

haha, bri

haha there’s a great alice cooper painting in newtown gallery:) done by local artist

yes! thx for sending to me... but out of my price range haha

I could rap a berry rap when i was only five. Very hip very cool very very jive....

lol

is he saying smoke ganja water? lol

@Brian D- haha! 🍓 rap was one of the ealier IDs I remember playing on PRB

There's a Banjarmasin on the right....

Ha I wish we could get a station id compilation/ there’s a few i really miss

I was just thinking today of how I would love to hear an hours-long montage of all the station IDs. I love the faux Sid Vicious one, for example.

Ooooh, I like that idea, Teresa

yes!

to all of it!

yeah sids is pretty great

I like the one about the thin mittens....

prb where the records smell like baby

Peas... fish fingers... you're losing your heads!

and fish fingers? Doo-doo-dat-dat

hey, it's my song!

Erica’s word!

Jetty Factorial told us in chat that is her on thr Orson Welles fish fingers doing tthe vocalizations

the Crazy one that always preceded readie playing ogden nut

I MISS finger fingers! It’s Orson Welles for Findus Foods “Findus freeze the fish at sea and then add a crumb crisp,,mmmm, crumb crisp coating”

She was imitating the drum break on Big Stars Sept Gurls

Scott Miller forever

yes, @danak! i so love

agreed on scott miller & i remember fiormer dj robin introduce me to game theory:)

The full Orson Welles advert voice over takes are a classic in "stars get angry". Where's Mrs Rogers? One more word out of you and you go! I take direction from one person... under protest!

wasn't amelia playing them allthe time?

great show w perfect Friday morning sound

Amelia’s show was named Real Nighttime

yes! she has a real nighttime tattoo!

We’ve Only Just Begun! 80 more years!

I remember Amelia show / distinct sound

THE CARPENTERS ❤️💔♥️

yes, mr. m...love paul williams version, too

well, he wrote this.

The one with the mash up of punk and the reporter asking "Excuse me president Reagan?"

nobody drives better than wprb

DJ Esoterica 💖

Paul Williams was on Love Boat and Fantasy Island every other week. What a writer. He turned up in that Billy Bob T as the down and out lawyer show

hi, connor!

I had to go out in the car, the Bloommobile. Loving this show!

aw thx, mr. m! and thanks, connor. glad you're here

i give him credit for writing it and all but i can't hear this song without missing karen's vocals

totally true, commie

awww thx, stevie

it would be great if it wasn't also sung by THE GREATEST SINGER EVER

YES "Paul Williams was on Love Boat and Fantasy Island every other week. What a writer. He turned up in that Billy Bob T as the down and out lawyer show"

Wasn't it used in a bank advert at first? Carps/ Paul W song

Yes! CornFutures!

Brian D knows good television too

yes karen carpenter is also corn futures approved

wow. didn't know that

Yeeeooo peoples! Eso & DK at the helm with other DJ luminaries!

i ship danaterica

it was a great interview he gave a lot of insight into musicians & nostalgia play / very interesting

wow rachel

Mr m... I had tix to see SLEATER-KINNEY at the Mann last august. Hoping they reschedule

I’m busy that day

Ditto

Bonnie Raitt told funny story on stage about Sippie Wallace (writer of Let Me Be Your Blender I Can Whip Chop And Puree). Sippie was getting older and suggested Bonnie come record with her and "bring your drums". Bonnie wondered if Sippie had her confused with Karen Carpenter

Had tickets to that Wire show but got too spooked to go.

This was 2017!

Stevie, Wilco and Sleater Kinney at the Mann was rescheduled for same weekend this year. If you kept your ticket it is good still

It is same date of month. On a Saturday this year. Was going to be a Sunday last year

Thought you were talking about last year’s!

I think the two shows I was most depressed to miss last year were Kraftwerk at the Mann and the Dexys Midnight Runners cover band fronted by Ted Leo that was supposed to happen on St Patrick’s Day

this an esoterica crate play ?

yes!

Thanks Bri

Great debut songs from debut lps for 500 Alex.....

Dave section?

That Kraftwerk show! Yeah, that stung. I had gotten tickets to more shows than usual shortly before the pandemic :(

me too ! Lotta good keswick got canceled late March into april

I bought four tickets to that Kraftwerk show, three of them for my friends that had July and August birthdays! At least it was a nice bit of extra cash when I got it refunded

Oh yeah

ah man Altamont. Reminds me of all the Pagan's I see in New Hope lately

oh, really? ookla? didn;t see them

California song!

🖤💀

Oh man, I’ve been hanging in here so much today, enjoying the show so much, I realize I gotta scramble to finish a few last-minute things for my show! Great show today, Erica!!

💰💰💰

when it gets warmer they show up in groups of 30-40. crazy to see.

Always think of the dead milkmen lyric 'Sha-Na-Na... stabbed that guy at Altamont'

hopefully ween doesn’t hire pagans as security for their NH shows :)

Yeah!

Sing along y'all!

Esoterica 🎤🎶🎶

BLACK FRANCIS 🖤

˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚

what a jam

i was really bummed that the undertones got cancelled. especially cause they were playing an absurd number of philly area shows

also shopping. and bikini kill which is rescheduled for november fingers crossed

oh yeah, commie. saw jeff mangum in asbury for ATP

2010?

Undertones would be so fun to see!

i saw nmh a lot "back in thee day"

i'd still love to see them whenever but i'm kind of glad i saw them without everyone in the audience singing along to every word of every song

ann frank inspired

I remember how N Hope traffic regulations would change though the years. For long time they allowed multiple bikes (motor) per parking space. Then in 90s they did not -they made it 1 vehicle per space even for bikes. Then they flipped back...

less well known northern irish band protex

(attn bo)

were supposed to play in early 2020 but i think they couldn't get in the country

that was pre pandemic. sorry for saying that in so many separate posts derg

well i think it might have been during the pandemic but we didn't know it yet

Yeah, wanted to see Undertones, dammit

the biker lobby is a powerful voice in the new hope borough council

Pizza!

Haha!

Back roads!

i just audibly gasped at the hoagie thing

Now I want blueberries.

As a Philly native I recently had the best hoagie I've had in a while and was very surprised. It was massive

This corn fed Wisconsin grown woman has to disagree hard on the corn. The blueberries are delicious.

from where, dude

*delco accent* is a hoagie a vegetable

lol

Ha, it is. And get this, the fresh grocer on broad stretch. Who knew? My neighbor hooked it up with the tip

It's a full meal Connor

Broad street*

Like it was heavy, to make it retail price would have been like 20+

NJ is pretty but I'm feeling some highway one vibes... speaking of newhope river road could suffice

@dude : where for the hoagie?

i heard Hogback Deli is really good..and HUGE

nothing like those neighbor hot tips

thx so much for stopping by!

For sure Connor, and I've been there shopping since it opened, word of mouth is key

Throwing that on the list...or wait what was that place near Newtown someone recommended?

really makes you think, community is so important. which is why its so important to donate to wprb.

this place by my work has amazing cheesesteakes: https://jaysjoint215.com/

peaches does nice version of this one

oh yeah, love peaches, but is it safe for airplay!?

This one mark https://maps.app.goo.gl/z33vyJLrQv8id7hp8 ... kinda random for a hoagie destination, but if you're near by..

Raised by a Jersey Mom who made homemade blueberry ice cream in the Pineys while camp counseler at Matolleonequay! Jersey Moms & blueberries for the win!

That's it ookla

of course everything by peaches 🍑 should be :)

what about the muffaletta?!?

That's pure jersey right there

philly would lose their collective mind if a publication named teh fresh grocer on broad as the best hoagie in the city lol

Dude ookla mentioned this earlier in chat...O Ookla the Mok1:05 PM Just Food in Buckingham Green is fantastic

they had good sandwiches as well. Man this diet is making me dream about bad food

thanks dude! Gonna stop by the dude’s cool coffee shop one a these days

Jetty on the Rocks mom was a councellor at the same Pine Barrens camp and my mom! Moms of WPRB and moms of moms of WPRB! This was Pineys in the late 50s/early 60s
