Helloooo test

For now, sure!

Back for the moment

Wheeeeeeeee!!!

Caught those moves Pethie very nice

I took a Buzzfeed quiz to find out which member of Butt Trumpet I was.

Like Frankenstein's Monster on the laboratory table, the Pit Crew rises!

The lamé-related excitement was too much for Spinitron to bear

@DSM hoorah!

Salutations and Greetings!

Hi, Danosaur!

why did i think i could go back to work for 2 hours on a wed night? FAIL.

well which one were you jon?

Lamé sparkles will heal us and fix Spinitron

Hi MrM!!

Ferk the Werk, and just Twerk! 🕺 🎶

Glad you asked, Commie.

Haha

Zebra Feedback on the Dan Druff cusp.

this JAM Rn aF 🔥❤️‍🔥

I wouldn't say I have a lust for life. It's more of a mild interest.

Gettin it!

Hi Danosaur 💸 🦖

Hi, Christine! 🦉

why is there not pogoing in the Lounge???

ooh the cruise ship song

Hey everyone! Sorry I'm not keeping up with the chat too well right now. Thank god Pethie is here!

I just was dancing!!!

Dang, been a minute since I heard this one!

that sprints was cool and sold out everywherrre

I know when you hypnotize a person you get them to cluck like a chicken so what do you do when you hypnotize a chicken?

much better!

this is the first time i've tuned in to the MikeCam

i feel like a god

YOU ARE A GOD

Danosaur I think you just ask them to sit down for a while

I do suddenly feel like taking a cruise for some reason.

Woo! *Frug* 💃

Shake it loose and let it fall!

iris the omniscient

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY "THIS SONG GIVES HURDY GURDY VIBES" WHEN SUDDENLY

Me too, Iris!!!

Donavan is underrated

This is trippyer than the butthole surfers cover

🍎

Ooh, gettin' sexy on the dance floor now

why do my homework when i can watch mike do the dad shuffle

*dancing with a hypnotized chicken*

HAHAH

I will remember that.

There are 13 people watching the stream. Already more popular than CNN+

This set is so much FUN!🪩💃

Izzat a sample of “Ring my Bell”?

vaguely mario kart theme song energy in this bridge

Good ear, @Pethie

FRUUU gging

Froooging

In any nation

I think I do remember that from a cruise commercial now that ya mention it

Just noticed: the Hurdy Gurdy Man song is not on the playlist.

Yes it was in a cruise commercial and i think also a car commercial

Was that Eartha Kitt doing HG Man??

I'd like to hear it in an IHOP commercial

Roundhouse frug.

Carnival cruises uses the Iggy Pop song

Lol Tim

We will need to verify if Tim is actually Bath Boy.

hands off my tahini in the doom pantry!

Oh! I picked up this Motrik on bandcamp Friday thanks to your show!

@iris yessssssssss

I feel like one of you should have submitted your own Bath Boy cover by now.

Loving that pretty pink vinyl of the Motrik album 💗

argh this spinitron

Kurt!

I never got a chance to say hi to everyone, and DJs Pethie and Mike. Back to back to back work meetings keeping me from chatting much till later

It's baaack

Pethie - next das kaltes eis song?

TAndy, I was looking for you earlier.

These lyrics always get me. The disassociation is unsettling.

Saw your question. You don't need to change ANYTHING if you are a recurring donor. Just keep donating and the swag will keep coming.

@Commie yesssssssssssss pleeeeez!

Hiya TAndy!

@Jon Well, you can always change your name in the chat!

CINDY UND BERT

wooo!!

Ooh, I love this version of this song! 🤘🤘

I've been losing my mind over the first ever reissue of this that is coming out for record store day Europe, 200 copies I will never get it :(

love it when Cindy bites the head off of a bat

LOL

@Jon What about increasing the amount though? I wanna raise to the next level before the drive is over next wek

🤘🏼😈

In that case email lsd@wprb

Oops

Christine, those were your banana peppers on the webcam.

WPRB has LSD??

And let them know, make a new pledge and they will cancel your old one

We do!

Thanks Commie Francis! You all the best, love WPRB

I did the same thing cause i want that BAG

Hello, namesake🍌peppers!

Totally what @Commie said @TAndy. Thank you for your generosity. I'll personally see to it that you get your desired swag.

Hey it's Eddie Vince and the valiants covering the rezillos

Shoulda played rezillos version cause it says "it's a Wednesday evening"

Does anyone remember early 00's webcams

Thoroughly enjoying all these great tunes!! Cheers, DJ MikeLupica and DJ Pethie!!

Looking at one right now DJ Krista

@Krista I still have a 2008 era webcam LOL

Jennycam

JF’NC get a light on the stuff you show the cam!

starlite lounge is bumpin'

I remember there was this guy who was kind of freakily into trains and you could control model trains and lights in his apartment through his webcam

Including when he was sleeping

More shows on here need webcams

Huey Lewis on the harmonica this track. No foolin'!

Nice!

@Mike That's NEWS to me

"tell him i'm vaxxed"? epic misheard lyrics

Haha iris

I’m upping my monthly too because I need yet another BAG

All these stores are nixing their plastic bags next month so we needs bags to hold all that bread
