Great to be back on the radio and to be with you all on this Wednesday evening.

Pell Mell toil and trouble. Ethel and Fred Betty and Barney Rubble

Brian! Glad you're first to check in.

Clock out time! Chiro adjust time countdown less than 30.... ahhhh

Outstanding on both fronts.

And a breathe o that sunny air for a bit

... much too chic to be bereft... great line i never tire of hearing in the Rub's intro song there

Gotta queue up For Your Consideration. Home for Purim....

The ALL-PURIM SHOW has sadly been postponed until 5783.

Headed to Lipkins Castor Avenue tomorrow for my Hamantaschen

Fingertips must banged up from shelling all those pistachios

Thankfully pre-shelled.

Hello @Fr1 and Patrick!

Hello Jon.How can their be 3 New Jersey teams I'm the NCAA tournament and not one is named Princeton

Billy Joel stuck in my head from the supermarket, Jon Solomon take me away!

Cool. This reminds me of Mattiel. She of Keep the Change and boiler suit video a few yrs back

Patrick, the short answer is defense > offense on Sunday morning.

Could have been four NJ teams in NCAAs for the first time since...1991?

Commie Francis, I hope I can help with that! For all our sakes!

They would have made it if your Dad was still coaching.

Yeah, he wasn't even in the gym / country at the time. Could have used him but Yale's gameplan was masterful and Azar Swain is a Bad Man.

Everyone well tonight? Microwaves all set to the proper times?

That Bodega song is available NINE different languages!

I love mastering the low to medium power microwave cook optimum setting. Scientific as this: choose 3 or 4 power (30 or 40 %) and then press a time of the same 3 digits in a row. 3:33. 1:11. 4:44. Heh. Don't burn and ruin good food on high!

2 days in a row windows down moonroof open going to drive now

Travel safe! Hands at 10 and 2!

Is it available in Esperanto.?just found an old how to speak Esperanto book at parents house.interesting language

Alas, not yet.

"El es di" he is god in Esperanto. Sounds like a certain low ph 3 letter deal (or Ellis Dee etc) ha

Hello Jon what is up? Haven't been able to listen to PRB for a few days and this is definitely soothing

Learned that from the great Philly fun fun fun EDO .What a show they would put on back in the 90s.

I'll both soothe and jar tonight.

Might have to tune out for the jar, streaming from post op recovery room tonight

Girlfriend, not me.

Just heading back from the zoo, Meyer inspected every garage can and communed with the tiger

But we are both enjoying at the moment

GIZZ ME, YOU FOOL! 💋💋💋

Hope they're doing as well as possible, DSM.

A soothing jar of salve to soothe though a sieve

Krista, good day for the zoo?

Zoos not Zoos, I say (as of right now).

We also got chicken fingers at Love Honey, so delicious, from Quest Love's list of food in Philly

Quality Wednesday!

Beautiful and perfect day at the zoo!! Weather was wonderful and sunny, all 3 children who went enjoyed themselves. Oh and I got to use the "I'll wait outside with the baby" to avoid seeing the cobras

Heard a Castilian speaking Spanish person once say the word that sounded like "tthh-ohh " (soft th like thin). I'm thinking thhh-ohh... hmmm. What is that.? Oh! A "zoo"! Of course

Thanks Jon, been waiting 6 months for this surgery, it went well. The nurse thanked us for being 'cultured' when they heard this playing lol

Congratulations, DSM! Hoping for a speedy and comfortable recovery for you

I'll echo Krista's sentiments and please make sure to be polite when the nurse tries to give you a copy of their demo.

Thanks Krista! It's my gf who had the surgery, but I will pass along the well wishes, I'm just ordering as much food on insuraces dime as possible for f-ing us around so much.

haha, I'd love to hear all demos tbh. KXLU used to have, maybe still has a show called demo listen, it was great.

Would they "test drive" demos live on the air??

Yeah, the whole theme was send them demo's and they'd play them, the stuff that I suppose usually gets rejected, would there get loved

all demos all the time

Incredible. Risky, but incredible.

If I forget to put on the next track, you can 100% blame the hypnotic nature of the animated .gif in the playlist.

It was LA so the demos were pretty legit tbh

Hey y’all!

@DSM add me to the list of well-wishers!

Hey Addie!

Good late afternoon / early evening, Addie!

So glorious to be listening while the sun is still up!

Thanks! Appreciate it Addie and she says 'thanks everybody that's so sweet'

I read the house passed or proposed a bill to keep it in 'sane' light hours forevermore? True?

I don't do shout outs but if you want me to surprise her next mic break with some well wishes I bet I can. All I need is a name!

True, DSM!

Hey Jon, That'd be great. Her name is Chelsea. Thanks!

On it soon!

@Addie, so is it all complete or does it need another level of voting?

👨‍🍳♥️📻 this is meatloaf esque

Hey Jon, hey old West Philly chum Addie and everyone else too. Just tuning in

Love a good sci fi dance party!

Hello Sebastian. I owe you an email. Waiting on calendar confirmation!

Chef! Dennis!

Hey Jon!

A Wet Leg cover!?

Indeed.

Hey Chef, I’m making a sausage calabrese tonight. Any recommendations?

Iced-Shank-esque

Iced-Shankious for sure

Yesssss. THOU needs to cover this!

thanks, Jon! Does Wet Leg have any other songs? It doesn't really matter but I imagine them like the Fabulous Stains only having the song "Waste of Time" and still being amazing

anyone see them at Undie Arts the other night?

I was at the show. Had an excellent time. The show was super fun.

Thanks, Pat!

Great pics, Pat, btw!

Curse you, sportsball Team B.

thank, but MJ & Chris really nailed the Wet Leg pics.

Sebastian, if you haven't heard "Wet Dream," I'd say it's their best

Good evening everyone :)

Sprints is fantastic! KPC played "Modern Job" a few months ago and I've been hooked on them ever since.

@fr1dayafternoon yeah don't forget the sausage. did that once and oh boy, talk about an angry customer 👨‍🍳

"too small to be a plane" brings up a lot of UFO results

Hey Sebastian! Hope all’s well!

Thanks Jon!

what channel has competitive corn hole?

hey Addie! Yes things are good all things considered. I hope you and the fam are doing well!

ESPC

CornTV

Cobcast Sports

BBC (Bean Bag Channel)

this breakdown was unexpected, or are we in the next song?

I learned a lot about professional cornhole, which I described as "curling for people who dip" if memory serves.

@patrick "Too small to be a plane" brings up an existential examination of how big does a flying nanobot need to be to *become* a plane

ok it IS the next song. I thought this was still the Chats for a moment...

Hey TAndy!

midwesterner here can confirm re: cornhole

To REALLY make cornhole like curling, they'd use balloons and fans

and how big till it's not a nanobot? this is quite a conundrum

independent breweries legally need to have cornhole available to patrons I believe? So it would seem?

One of the people who won the "mixed" title was 14 and has been competing for a year.

Chats songs ain't long!

Hey Chef, appreciate that piece of advice. Glad I wasn’t in the restaurant to see the scene that night!

What I'm saying is if each of you dedicated your life to corn hole for the next 52 weeks, we might see you competing on ESPNews.

Howdy Jon!

Ambrose, welcome to the party already in progress.

@Jon, sounding good!😊

We dived the whole Wet Leg 5 or 6 videography the other day. They are so fun. They have pre re leased about 6 songs so far in advance of the full lp

I heard the whole record when I was in Boston, is good.

@Jon, John Tobias played The Chats today too, Struck By Lightning is already a favorite!👍

They're sweet and short, perfect for the radio (says the guy playing a 35 minute rumination presently).

@Jon, this is very pretty.

Greetings from the first backyard grilling of 2022, me-edition!

@patrick "it's a zen thing .... like 'how many babies fit in a tire?'"

WPRB Chat Competetitive Corn Hole/Recipe Sharing team

... lightning struck itself!

I'm in. However, I must warn you my fellow teammates that high end corn hole bags are very expensive.

washers not as much

Whatcha grilling, Mary?

That’s been my problem all this time, faulty bean bags.

Friends have a washer court oasis in the back woods. And other awesome wonderland things back there. Big Halloween parties wow

Lots of veggies: zucchini, peppers, shiitake, onions, in a soy sauce glaze, and some chicken. Inside is some coconut rice.

Wait, what is a washer court?

Sounds excellent, Mary.

Is a washer court for quoits?

Like horseshoes?

https://goneoutdoors.com/specifications-building-washer-pit-game-6632515.html

Hey Jon, thanks for introducing this song. I love these long form kinds of jams

Washers as in little metal discs with a hole in them. 3-4 inches. Hardware store items. But no doubt there are probably "official" ha ha washers for lots of $. Small wooden raised box "goal" with slight angle surface w astroturf coat or not and a pipe "golf hole"in middle. Pitch the washers (3 count) into or near hole etc

TAndy, I've decided to limit myself to one Tuluum Shimmering track a month max.

Ahhh... just entered the car wash at the peak here!!

Run of the mill standard issue car wash flute solo here.

"High end corn hole bags" sounds like really old expensive society escorts

Thought it was washer count at first, which sounds like a thing you would do after opening something from Ikea.

Brian, how bad is the line? Yesterday mine was so busy it wrapped out to the entrance, past the long straightaway intended to control traffic. Last time I went in a crowd I was trapped for half an hour

I'll be getting my real wash during Sara's show in about 14 hours ;)

Top o' the Wednesday to all!

Speaking of wash, I hope you have serious moisturizer available in your household, @Jon. If everyone really does wash their hands as long as that! 🧼🫧

Also, hello! 👋

Now their "court" per se is this carefully crafted area w wood chips, bamboo arches, v shape wood beam ends, outdoor lighting, bamboo stick borders, magnet stick "picker uppers", hand painted washers galore etc etc

Homemade grilled chicken Caesar salad - a day late, I know

Roffle and Christine and Randy hello!

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and the person I made the appointment with told me it was doctor's orders I wear green tomorrow. Unexpected pressure to follow through!

Brian that sounds amazing. Christine, I've been washing my hands since this track began. Is that...bad?

Wow, thank you for that track.

@Jon, is there a green WPRB t-shirt in yourcollection? 👕

Thanks for checking in, Matt. You're quite welcome. Link to download in the playlist should you require.

Heya Jon, that takes make sure you getting all your greens to a whole 'nother level.

Christine, I have my The Fall & Oates shirt in green so I set it aside when putting laundry away this morning.

It is my only appointment of the day so I guess I'm doing it.

@Christine it's gotta be a fluorescent green shirt, no doubt about it.

Full disclosure: my daughter goes to Rutgers, so I'm pulling for them vs Norte Dame

It's as if Tom Verlaine were playing ala Fripp. :)

I too am rooting for Rutgers tonight. One of my wife's many alma maters. There's a former Yale player I like on ND but not enough to change my mind.

I'd like all three NJ teams to do well but I could see them going 0-3 swiftly.

My grandpop went to Michigan (GO BLUE) so I have NO LOVE for South Bend

My dislike for Notre Dame football is well documented (sorry Jeff if you're looking at the chat tonight).

"Rudy was Offsides"

Notre Dame bashing on Saint Patricks Eve.What blasphemy!

I changed my bracket last minute to take Michigan over CSU because the computer probability for that game overtook my heart / gut.

My car got hit during a cross country drive in South Bend, So no love for Notre Dame just because.

This track may summon MrMalcontent 💀

That would be a welcome development.

I don’t know how these djs can spin and chat at the same time. Very impressive. I could not keep up this morning. Just read Brian’s and Unoclay’s comments now.

John, I have become very good at tabbing between the chat and my DJ app.

But sometimes I do get lost!

I try and keep all my browser windows a smaller size than the playlist and I put the playlist as far left as possible if that makes sense.

Calling MrM... 💀💀💀💀

Summon Mr. M. Chant his name if you have to.

This track is sort of a kindred spirit to Tuluum Shimmering, didn't consider when putting the show together.

It really is. I added both to my sleepy time playlist on YouTube anyway :)

Very nice.

My work-wife is ND alum, so it's gonna be a tough couple days

We have sunset 🌇 in Bucks County.

I’ll see what I can do. Thanks

Simply thinking of recording 9+ bands again for a single night of radio makes me rather tired.

Think I accidentally omitted Pan American from my back-announcing!

When's the entire show long bongripper jam session

Someday, we will have The Two Song Show.

I heard a great 70+ minute track today in fact...

The Two Song Show could be a gem! Depending on what the two songs were.

We'll see if I am bold enough to try one week.

When I was able to find out what The Longest Song on Bandcamp was, the tune was basically a 2.5 hour guitar solo. I think I faded it up / down during mic breaks that night. Has since been removed from their site...

Another winner for dinner over here - Mushroom Pasta Stir Fry.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022121-mushroom-pasta-stir-fry

Have long wanted to do a three song radio show with two really long songs at the front and end, with "I'm James Dean" by Government Issue (which is 20 seconds long) in the middle.

The Two Song show is how you end up a classical symphonies guy.

I know that guy.

It does seem slightly familiar—he might even do a marathon.

Mike, I think I told you about how once I was doing a live band on WNUR and we were up against a hard stop of a basketball broadcast.

I was really upset / worried when they said at 7:59:30 "we have one more song!"

The song that followed was two seconds in length.

I laughed.

Nice, I was about to ask if that was the time you engineered Assuck for WNUR.

Stereo 103, that's what it is!

Happy gallivanting, @Jon! We'll be in good hands with Pethie next week.

Alt-Tab toggle or cycle between browsers, windows, programs etc. Ctrl-Tab toggle or cycle tabs in same browser. Usually. Easy navigation. Leave the mouse have its cheese

Mushroom pasta stir fry does sound good. Man, I’m gonna have to break down and look at a NYTimes recipe subscription.

Mary, we use it no joke 3-5 times a week.

Mike, let the record show the band was Skin Graft recording artist Mama Tick.

Also, you're missing like 60 umlauts.

Guys! I'm hearing the dulcet chimes of an ice cream truck float in the open window. First time since last year! 🎶 Who wants ice cream?!

Re: Long songs - Chris Butler (from The Waitresses) released a song in 1996 called "The Devil Glitch". The long version runs close to 69 minutes.

Any good, Bill?

It's very Chris Butler.

I'd have a Toasted Almond Bar, please.

Choco Taco for me.

Also, I love Chris Butler!

Chocolate eclair!

I have only had bad experiences at the Vince Lombardi Service Area. Like total jinxed, haunted experiences. Cars breaking down, future wives puking, the works.

When I was a kid, I was all about the Mickey Mouse Bar from Jack&Jill, which I’m sure were sued into oblivion.

@Jon, I'll check, but the closest they might have is a pre-packaged cone with peanuts.

Save for a Choco Taco I ate there at 3:00 am.

The long version of "The Devil Glitch" includes parts by numerous guests. It's fun.

That was a very positive experience. Also the most recent time I had a Choco Taco. 2011.

@Mary, I got you! They do have a chocolate eclair ice cream on a stick.

@Mike, Choco Tacos are truly a delight, aren't they? I get one at Wawa every now and then. 🌮

They have any of those WWE Cookie Sandwiches?

Yes, Choco-Tacos rule. Can't say I've had one in 20+ years, but the memories are gold.

Speaking of ice cream, the Auralnauts take on The Book of Boba Fett is very, very ice cream heavy! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi34wA-ajZc

You must all eat a Choco Taco before the equinox!

You can stand a Choco-Taco on its end during the equinox.

But only in a dark bathroom and you have to look at the Choco Taco in the mirror.

whatta tight jam!

I will eat a Choco Taco at the Equinox Fitness in Paramus. Hope that suffices.

That is acceptable.

Glad we could work this out amicably.

How's the flux capacitor on that ice cream truck? They have the old school choco eclairs with the actual chocolate candy bar on the inside? Not that furry fuzz freezer burnt choc "ice-ed cream" Mr Burns. And do they have Screwballs cup o water ice rock hard with the even rock harder gumball whose outside dye has melted into the dayglo orange/yellow ice? I'll have those. Thank you.

If you say Choco Taco 3X in the mirror.... ooo... if you pernounciate the word Philly style as "meer-owe" then even more ooo's

Anyone here know the Aussie band Ice cream Hands?

And... and .... and the bottom of the Screwball water ice with the thick 1/2 inch of gravity sunk sugar crystal syrupy ice... mmmmmm

Great show Jon, thank you!

Ya Jon. Aces. Love it!

TY Jon!

Aces Ahoy!
