Greetings and Salutations!

Hi, DJ MikeLupica!!

Aye that giant purple face is jawning out

Hi!!

ZOINKS IT’S ZORK

Wait what? I was asleep dreaming of tacos

What's due tomorrow? Pretentious tacos?

Sriracha TACOS!!

Is a fish taco shaped like a fish???

Wait, this HotGoss

Mike write a Netflix show please would watch 10/10

German Choco Taco?

choco taco

yes

Leaflet tacos!🤔

I'll have what Mike's having

GUNG HOoooooo!!!!!

Man I loved Gung Ho, that movie surely has not aged well

I honestly luv Michael Keaton

@Mr.M💀, excellent!

right, yes, exactly Michael Keaton, the core is good

Hi Mike. I have the Kongos album.

What kind of milk? Hemp milk? Almond?

MR MOM ❤️‍🔥

Hello Mike! Hello Free formers!

👏👏👏

And there'll be no dopey xenophobia and sexism...

Point my What, Where?!

mr mom is perfect and has aged well. I mean I haven't seen in two decades, but I'm confident

Just bought me a brand new Blu-ray of MrMom 🤣

Wow, DJ MikeLupica! Excellent stuffs! Well done!

¡¡¡ROCK!!!!!

YO YO PITCREW. I SEE YOU ALL DRESSED FOR THE EVENT. NICE.

Yes, all black to blend in with the audience like a video crew

Hey DJ Mike, hello Pit Crew in the Listener Lounge™! Did somebody say Choco Taco?

I hear the Reigning Sound are breaking up. Remember when they performed on your old show 20 years ago, Mike? Joe Belock rebroadcast that session on his own program two days ago.

https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/116578

David, I did hear that just the other day. Very sad, and yes, I do remember -- a great night! Very sweet guys.

Also, please don't ever say "20 years ago"...

That said, thanks for the reminder. Next long song I play, I'm gonna run inside and go grab the Reigning Sound LP.

Also, this past Saturday, DJ Todd-o-phonic Todd dedicated Blue Öyster Cult’s “Then Came The Last Days of May” to George Pelecanos, because George played that track when he was a guest on your program in 2006.

https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/20049

Jeez, glad I left some legacy!

Reigning Sound reigns on!🎵🎶🎸

Good evening DJ Mike and everyone. Loooving this track!

It hit me

Howdy Bo and Li Maria... Reigning Sound LP retrieved from cold storage! (For later.)

wootwoot!

@Mike😊👍

my people

ELASTICA 💟

Hello from the Schuylkill Expressway, driving home from the Flower Show!

Hey Mary! Glad you tuned in!

Hands on wheel! Be safe, MaryJones!

ON AIR light engaged?!?

It’s spotty so far across the river from Roxborough, but we’ll make it work—once we hit the Blue Route it’ll be fine.

Don’t worry, Dennis is driving.

I promise to only play crappy stuff until then!

We appreciate that

@DJ MikeLupica

Cheers, Mary and Dennis!

Hey Li Maria, Mary & Dennis 👋 @Mary, how was the Flower Show?

@Mike, what was that you had on playing in the background at the start of the show?

Hi Mike Lupica and fellow chatters!

That was the (looped) intro to the John Kongos song, Ambrose!

Yo Danosaur.

Hi, Danosaur!

MrM!!

@Mike, Ah!

@Christine the Flower Show was great—we spent about five hours. Very sweaty, but it was gorgeous, and I got some good ideas for my own garden. But this year is yarrow, foxgloves, thyme, and echinacea,

Big this year not But

KnottButtttt

About to hit the road myself, pizza for dinner then work 😎

@Mary, that sounds awesome, except for the sweaty hot part. But it's outside now, so I guess that may happen.

LOL

Yeah, I hope some day they go back to having it in March at the convention center, but in the meantime, I’ll take June at FDR, despite the heat.

THIS IS MAH JAM 😎

Same tho

BUSH 💖

KATE 💝

‘Running Up That Hill’ ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

MrM you forgot EMI, 1985 ❤️‍🔥💝

LOL

In a dark time with few bright spots, the Kate Bush revival is a bright light.

Profound, and true.

DOOPEE TIME

Also that AfM album is hotttt

Isn't it always Doopee time?

📧Ⓜ️ℹ️ 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣5️⃣ 💜♥️

🌵 @DSM

PWND

TAndy, what kind of pizza tonight?

🖤💀

Jam after jam AFTER JAM

This set is wild...

lol is cactus emoji low key the middle finger?

🤣

@DSM See for yourself! https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/688883706492223615/986794547902300220/PXL_20220616_004848535.NIGHT.jpg

oh hawt damn! thicc bois! very nice TAndy, enjoy

Here in the NW Philly suburbs, we ar shaving some crazy bleed through from other stations, so Sanford and Son is mixing with Bob Marley and some autotuned thing.

I found out some good news recently: Arlo Parks is coming to Philly on 9/6; Franklin Music Hall.

“Are having” not shaving

Boom!

I’m coming, Elizabeth!

@TAndy, is that Detroit or gramdma pizza? Want.

Ooh, Arlo Parks is really good.

@Christine Grandma! One for now the rest for later, they're bigger than I thought LOL

Hey, @Danösaur 👋

@Christine, PRB should really just have you do upcoming gig announcements for us.

Me thinks he bought 4 🍕🍕🍕🍕

Hi Christine!

Had Detroit pizza at Buddies when I was back there recently and it is very good.

Are there any NJ spots that make Detroit style aside from Lil C's?

@DJ Mike, I would happily volunteer for that task! I was very happy to hear that Arlo Parks' Collapsed in Sunbeams tour was coming to Philly. 🌻 Also, TV Priest will be playing PhilaMOCA on 7/27.

🗿🐒🐒

It's too early to go monkey mode MrM

NEVER

I woke up like this

Wait I'm thinking of goblin mode. Never mind me!

Goblin Mode started during Filmscape with DJ Esoterica! 👹

@Tandy...jerrys on south broad has good gramma/bklyn pie. Along with tomato pie!

If we're talking pizza, @TAndy, you are Trenton native, right? What's the name of that pizza joint (might be in Ewing or Hamilton) that's near Mercer County Park and has these weird, revolving pizza ovens? They do a mustard pie there that I would do bad things in the name of.

I went full gobblin' mode on my dinner just now

HeeHeeHee @Danosaur!!

@Mike I don't know about revolving ovens but I know Papa's makes mustard pies. Used to be based out of Roebling & Chambers in the Burg but moved to Robbinsville some time ago. If near Mercer Park though it could be De Lorenzos next to where AMC 24 used to be.

Tandy is spot on.

Alas, time for 2 hours of work meetings. [TAndy melts into a miserable pile of secrets]

🤐

Nah, I know both of those joints. This is a shack in some strip mall and I would actually call it better than both DeLorenzos and Papas. I'll ping Solomon and get back to ya, I'm sure he knows!

Papa's (and his son when open inside Risoldi grocery) is the only mustard pie i know

Mamma Rosa's in Hamilton just closed recently after 30 yrs. That was my local go-to

A strip mall..... Hmmm

Mustard pizza sounds...interesting? Is it a Trenton thing, do you know?

It seems to be a Trenton thing. Never had it but I need to try it someday!

Howdy everyone!

Hey Rob!

Hi Rob!

Hi Ambrose and TAndy!

Ron walks in just as I am playing the Georgia Satellites... I will never hear the end of this.

Rob, not Ron.

Ya gotta. Papa's is, at 110 yrs, oldest continuously family-owned pizza restaurant in nation.

Mike, I like this song!!

And I see that I missed John Kongos and my fave Elastica song. Dang-a-rama!!

Hi Rob!

@Mike, haven't heard this in yonks!😲

I think I'll check out Georgia Satellites tomorrow

Hi Christine!

Columbia House "club" cassette

Hi Rob!

Had some burners on it!

Hi Danósaur!

Just don't play that other song.

jimbeaux, what other song are you referring to?

Mike uttered it...

Yo Rob

Just trying to keep it out of my spongy brain :)

@jimbeaux, ah, I see. I remember that song. I'll listen to it tomorrow too.

Hey DSM!

Also need to try a mustard pie, is it good? Sounds bonkers

I do recommend trying caramelized onions on vanilla ice cream tho, materialized after a long night of drinking but I've tried it again since and it holds up.

I like Abbie from Mars's song about cats/kittens biting

Oooh, sounds good. I make garlic ice cream.

Abbie from Mars needs to collaborate with Earth Girl Helen Brown

garlic raw or roasted? need to try

Roasted, touch of lemon juice.

that sounds delicious

Terry Allen *heart emoji*

Solomon reports: Pizza place with the weird ovens and amazing mustard pie is called.... Joey's!

ok you summoned JFC.

Good info; will try it sometime. 🍕

I've found mustard pie to be like peanut butter whiskey in that it is delicious but you will hate yourself for liking it.

Ooh, I remember this from the b-day show. was hoping you'd play it again!

I am OBSESSED with this song, have been spinning it all week!

I'm a sucker for this kind of song

And Hi, Christine--was away from the chat for a while

you must tithe

Hi Li Maria! 👋

Joey's! That js Jon and Mike I'll hit them up soon

Oh, Joey's on Whitehorse! Never had the mustard pie from there but went to get regular pizza with a friend some years ago, it was pretty good.

Gonna get a mustard pie this week. Joey's or Papa's?

I believe Papa's has a shrine to Kellyanne Conway, so ... allow that to inform your decision as you will.

Papas is usually extremely busy, and downtown Robbinsville is a drive and a bottleneck, so dinner plans for that would be tricky. Don't want a pizza to sweat out cold in the car driving home

Lost my appetite.

oh my Joey's it is

Joey's is like 10 minutes away for me so maybe Joey's.

Classico Tomato Pies (in West Windsor) also does a formidable mustard pie. And as I'm sure I've said here before, their Mumbai Pie is 10/10.

Corleone's on S. Olden is my top spot though, best pizza around. Varsity's on 206 in Lawrence is a close second.

not sure I've heard of the Mumbai Pie, but I am intrigued. Maybe I'll be going there for a mustard and Mumbai

H A I L U

That Abronia was great! Reminded me a bit of The Comet Is Coming

This Hailu is so smooth... love it.

All these places are about 25 miles away tho so I should prob wait til I have other business near them what with gas prices n shizzz

Abronia record is real good! Reminds me of Sun City Girls in some parts.

@Mike, totally agree!

Hailu always calms me

Here we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ooh, Os Mutantes!

yes ML :)

DU HAST wait wrong song

Who's got the Underberg Belt?!

Heino! Sagenhaft!

THIS SET HAS GONE INTA-NASHA-NAL

@DSM, I want one. Or two.

I scored a 10 on that quiz. Blasphemy

I also mocked up a "TAndy is listening to WPRB in a Red Robin in CA. What's your excuse?" bumper sticker.

Haha! A nice variation on the "Keep honking!" series

lololol

I saw a bumper sticker about two weeks ago that just said: "If you don't like Thin Lizzy, Fuck You"

Direct! I like it.

Part of me was kinda hoping it was Ambrose's car.

I forgot what I was doing week 2 7in CA during Mike's show oops

Frankie!

And His Fabulous Witch Fingers!

Oh yeah I was wearing my WPRB shirt at a beach in San Diego

I can't believe i missed heino

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's possible there will be more Heino, Commie.

I mean, it's ALWAYS possible in this house.

I vote more Heino

"Keep honking! I'm listening to 'Hast du Money' by Heino on WPRB"

sure ill go for more heino

All the heinos in the Haus say ja

Hahahaha

These bumper stickers need to become a reality.

Would donate to receive heino bumper sticker

Herman from Mars!

JAM ALERT

Played this on my ape show!

I didn't have any Underberg, but I found some Fernet Branca that's doing the job

Goodnight Rob!

G'night, Rob!

See ya, Rob!

May the Georgia Satellites soundtrack your dreams!

🍑 🛰

G'night Rob!

It's about time we heard King Kong's side of the story.

Hahaha

Christine the emoji Queen!😄

That King Kong song had a very Sparks-like feel to it.

I'm sure Ron and Russel would be thrilled with the association!

Sky Saxon, send me to hell.

noice

Saw Sky Saxon @ Asbury Lanes once, still had it!

Funny, I saw Satan at Asbury Lanes once, and he still had it too!

This set 👹 💯
