Listener comments!

  3:03pm
Pearly Sweets:

Whoo boy! Wednesdays. How 'bout it!
  3:03pm
Cecile:

Gah, Irwin, Kenny was more irritating not being Kenny than he was being Kenny.
And who is Gordon? You? Or Clay Pigeon

It's Wednesday. It's business time.
  3:05pm
stingy d:

yo dudes. what's shakin
  3:05pm
Pearly Sweets:

I kept waiting for M' to break through the glass and just start attacking.
  3:07pm
goodie!:

goodie.
  3:07pm
Parq:

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that people were calling and revoking pledges made during Ken's show. Just saying. Speaking of Ken's show, I was swamped all morning and missed it. Who won The Boy?
  3:08pm
Pearly Sweets:

Every second of Bob's showing was like a nail in the ear. But, much like acupuncture, these little nails helped to cure every aliment in my body. I am now healed and ready to provide back breaking labor to WFMU!
  3:08pm
Cecile:

Some douche named "Bob" kidnapped Kenny's show. Turns out he was a criminal named Office Carlo. It sounds less interesting than it seems.
  3:08pm
Sean Daily:

Seventh comment! Woo hoo!
  3:09pm
Ike:

Hilariously, Maria said that if we don't support the FMU, then everything will end up sounding like K-Rock. Good funny ironic joke by her: In a few minutes, K-Rock will die.

Good riddance K-Schlock. Die painfully.
  3:11pm
Pearly Sweets:

But, Irwin, is there a grand prize to tell the people about?
  3:12pm
Sean Daily:

Songs in the wrong sequence? Sounds like we're still on Kenny G's show after all...
  3:13pm
Ike:

Wow, I am garbled today. "The FMU?!" Ha.

Hey folks, you can pledge now and pay later! Don't wait for your paycheck to come in! Also, winning a prize is easier NOW before the weekend rush.
  3:14pm
Cecile:

ZOMG, how much do I have to pledge to get this.
  3:15pm
Liz B.:

Pledge $15 or more to get in the running for Kenny G. and Irwin's "Behaving Badly" CD
  3:16pm
Cecile:

Done and done!
  3:16pm
Sean Daily:

That was a real coup getting Beelzebub and his court to cover Spinal Tap, Irwin.
  3:17pm
Listener 26705:

Is this autotune?
  3:18pm
Parq:

Ike it's cold comfort seeing K-Rock die. It will switch to something else equally awful, and sooner or later, someone else will do what K-Rock was doing. The battle for commercial radio is lost; the only thing left is to walk away from it.
  3:22pm
BSI:

great leaping locust-balls, this Shodder Grayson thing is the meaning of life thus far! Magnifique!!!!
  3:24pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Is it Shodder Grayson or Shouter Grayson?
  3:24pm
The Man:

Fine, walk away from my commercial stations. Two more naive listeners will replace you!
  3:24pm
Pearl Sweets:

Kenny G's show made me scat earlier.
  3:25pm
Cecile:

I think you should just give me the CD because I'm the only one who truly understands Kenny, even though he likes boys.
  3:26pm
Parq:

Pearl, you mean like shoop-shooby-shooby or like run screaming from the room?
  3:27pm
Ike:

Oh yes, Parq, I walked away from commercial radio long ago. Now I'm just laughing from the sidelines and throwing stale greasy popcorn and moldering bon mots.

Hey it's Tom Baker from Doctor Who! HA!
  3:27pm
Pearly Sweets:

There was a little bit of both around half way in.
  3:27pm
mike:

this is almost as good as the time the BBC had a tom baker soundalike prank call all of the old doctors who, including tom baker.
  3:27pm
Sean Daily:

Cthonic week 2...?
  3:28pm
kurt:

What's the grand prize & how much??
  3:28pm
Marshall Stacks:

Tom Baker is not just the Doctor. He's the MAN.
An inspiration to all curmudgeons.
  3:29pm
Baba B:

Wow, is it last week again already?
  3:29pm
still b/p:

Does the yelling Irwin sound like Gene Wilder?
  3:29pm
Cecile:

Stop yelling. GIve me that CD, Irwin.
Give. It. To. Me.
Give it.
  3:30pm
?:

Bring back bob! More Freakouts!
  3:30pm
Lou:

a good rationalization gets everyone through the day
  3:31pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Who let Jim Cramer in here?
  3:31pm
BSI:

we MUST have a screaming-irwin + Shodder Grayson marathon show. With Liz present, to administer sedatives when necessary.
  3:31pm
Parq:

This is only going to spin further out of control during SSD. I can't wait to hear Rupture try to pull everything back on track at 7.
  3:33pm
JoeSteele:

Crazy Irwin is remarkably entertaining.
  3:36pm
still b/p:

Does Fred Speck's Camp Combo singing sound like Tom Lehrer and Bert & Ernie?
  3:40pm
Cecile:

conjure, mynah bird, cockatoo
  3:41pm
AnAnonymousParty:

I think I'd rather have my parakeet listen to the Tom Baker rant.
  3:41pm
BSI:

Flying robot! Fire colon detox!
  3:44pm
Parq:

Still b/p, is this a multiple choice question?
  3:48pm
still b/p:

No, I think they'z all soundin' off in thar t' once. What a camp 'at was.
  3:55pm
The Man:

I have focus groups for questions like that.
  3:55pm
The Man:

If you don't pledge, I win!
  3:57pm
AnAnonymousParty:

I remember when Kenny G used to yell and make noise and Irwin used to play music. Looks like the times, they are a-changin'.
  3:57pm
annie:

i love liz berg
  4:00pm
BSI:

YOU CALL THIS FOOD?!??! ... is the best one yet.
  4:00pm
Listener 26705:

With the parrot disc under his belt, Irwin can now audition for all of the Gilbert Gottfried roles.
  4:01pm
Cecile:

Moodog book for me!

Kenny and Irwin CD! Gimme! Gimme!
  4:02pm
Pearly Sweets:

I was laughing a bit too hard for my good at work just a moment ago.
  4:02pm
Sam:

Liz may have the most charming voice on WFMU!
  4:03pm
annie:

whenever i hear it i smile..
  4:04pm
Liz B.:

Aw shucks, thanks guys!

Get in the running for the Moondog book/CD for a pledge of $15 or more!
  4:06pm
Cecile:

Here's a phrase for your parrot:
Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme Prize.
  4:10pm
Sean Daily:

Yay! Fried Sandwich!
  4:12pm
Jess:

I kind of want a fried sandwich now...
  4:13pm
Parq:

The roots of the Dusty Show . . .
  4:13pm
Sean Daily:

AND ZIP YOUR DAMN FLY, DUDE!
  4:13pm
Cecile:

You should teach a parrot to ask for another fried sandwich.
  4:14pm
JoeSteele:

They should come up with a simlar track about making a pledge.
  4:14pm
Laura L:

Corn weenies for breakfast, fried sandwich for lunch!
  4:16pm
Cecile:

Is that a booster antenna in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
  4:19pm
BSI:

try alternate-nostril cupcakes.
you'll feel better.
i mean, assuming the xanax has run out.
...i have pledged, hence the free medical advice....
  4:19pm
Pearly Sweets:

Irwin, try your Yoko Ono to clean your throat out real nice.
  4:19pm
Cecile:

dammit.
I never win nuthin.
  4:20pm
urgh:

Irwin is like a party poker pop up when waiting for the download link
  4:21pm
mike:

davros?! enemy of tom baker?!
  4:22pm
Laura L:

Bwaaa haaa haaa, it's worked, you think I'm sane! Hey, what about the request I put in with my pledge? Huh? Your voice should be in perfect condition for the hairball right now.
  4:23pm
Jess:

You should be proud, Irwin. it is a thing of beauty.
  4:23pm
Talent Mgmt. Associates:

Try this: "Leave Britney alooooone!"
  4:24pm
Pearly Sweets:

Where's my gift, jerk?
  4:25pm
Cecile:

PLEASE! GIMME A PRIZE! PLEASE!
  4:27pm
AnAnonymousParty:

I'd like to hear the Tom Baker thing again with "Exterminate!" shouted over it.
  4:28pm
Sweet Pearls:

You call this FOOOD?!?
  4:29pm
Ike:

Yeah Mike, that was surreal. If Davros pledged, then surely the Supreme Dalek, the Special Weapons Dalek, some Cybermen, the Ood, the Satan Pit, and Lalla Ward could pledge.

Or at least they could put together a booster from some old spaceship parts.
  4:30pm
BSI:

J&H Productions might be able to release that parrot training CD, and promote it, with gusto. The most dynamic parrot talkin's ever being gave!
  4:30pm
Cecile:

I think of you as a human shield between Bob and 7-second Delay, Irwin
  4:30pm
The Man:

If Irwin gives up, I win! Bwah Ha Ha!
  4:31pm
stingy d:

damn man... it was so hard o try to sleep through all this nonsense that i decided to just wake up.

Your dead air is better than their..."Fresh Air"!
  4:34pm

  4:34pm

Gross is right!
  4:37pm
Sean Daily:

Oh God, you know what happens if Irwin leaves...

DJ BOB TAKES OVER!
  4:37pm
Pearly Sweets:

Whoa... everything went silent!
  4:37pm
BSI:

whoa..... void.......
  4:37pm
stingy d:

wha happen?
  4:38pm
Jess:

Oh no, it's The Man!
  4:38pm
Pearly Sweets:

The best part was the last thing said was Liz's "Irwin, get back here" then silence. THAT MUST BE WHAT IT'LL BE LIKE IF WE DON'T DONATE!
  4:38pm
annie:

i thought it was part of the show
  4:40pm

Who?

Right, that doctor.

Who?

Right.

Who?

Yes.

Who's on television?

Has been for years.

Who's the doctor on TV?

Yes.

When the theme show plays, who comes out?

Usually, sometimes it's his assistant.

Who's assistant?

Yes.

etc. etc.
  4:41pm
Jess:

Creeeeeeeepy. Irwin, don't do that again!
  4:42pm
BSI:

Bridge!
Report, number one...
  4:42pm
Kenzo:

My tech opinion: That was very peaceful.
  4:43pm
The Man:

That was air that could have been filled with money making advertisements.
  4:43pm
Malcontent Misfit:

Grumble Grumble Grumble!
  4:44pm
Malkin:

Where's my tent?
  4:46pm
Budgie:

Where's my gift, Jerk?
  4:47pm

What am I saying? This WHOLE STATION is air that could be filled with money making advertisements. What a waste!
  4:50pm

  5:01pm

  5:01pm

dangdangdangdang
  5:01pm
stingy d:

this sounds like ed schrader
  5:02pm
Ike:

So "Pills I Took" was really by Hank Williams III? Seriously? I'm startled. That was great.
  5:02pm
Sean Daily:

I was going to say Nick the Bard, stingy.
  5:03pm
Cecile:

you have to cover that Ron Griffin song at the Sinfonia some year
  5:06pm
dc pat:

Ike: yeah I wasn't expecting Hank III...MAYbe Hank IV...
  5:09pm
Kyle:

I remember hearing Bongwater sample this J&H productions
  5:10pm
Cecile:

see why I usually pre-pledge? see? see?
  5:12pm
Cecile:

I pledged
  5:12pm
eveley:

I love the J&H track :v I'm so sad for not being able to pladge before the marathon is over :(
  5:12pm
Marshall Stacks:

I pledged. What about the rest of you work-avoiders?
  5:12pm
annie:

i'm tacking on more friday morning!!!
  5:16pm
tombom:

eveley: can't you pledge now and pay later or something? not sure
  5:18pm
eveley:

tombom: I have absolutely no cash available before next month and no cc :(
  5:19pm
Sean Daily:

So someone actually approves Kenny G's show before it goes on the air. They know what's going to happen, but they still let it happen. That's... kind of frightening, actually.
  5:19pm
tombom:

there's a "no credit card and no paypal, bill me later" option on the pledge page. not sure how it works or whatever but
  5:23pm
Budgie:

Where's my gift, Jerk?
  5:25pm
Ike:

Yes, Eveley, choose "bill me later" and then pay when you can. Or if you call 1-800-989-9368, they won't even let you pay now, even if you could, because they won't take CC over the phone.
  5:26pm
Budgie:

You Call This Food?!

Tell me about it!
  5:45pm

One final word: I hate you all.

Work. Buy Stuff. Repeat untill dead.
  6:02pm
mike:

it's soak time!
  3:25pm
Clark Barr:

Wow, I didn't know Irwin was such a fan of "The World's Greatest Sinner"! Nice to see him honor Timothy Carey with all those Please Please Please Please Pleases! See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shc6o8BG_Es
  3:37pm
Irwin:

Clark, you are the only one who noticed the similarity. You are absolutely correct -- the inflection is from the film. Having seen it twice, I could never get that pathetic plea out of my head.
  12:06am
Clark Barr:

Thanks, Irwin!

The first time I saw The World's Greatest Sinner was when I was in college, over 35(!) years ago and the print was heavily censored. Turner Classic Movies showed it uncut several months ago and watching it again 35 years later was just a weird experience. Makes me start thinking of other "movies you had to see" while in college such as Harold and Maude, King of Hearts, Pink Flamingos and Eraserhead...

But seeing Timothy Carey dressed in a gold lame Elvis suit doing a tacky homage to James Brown and seeing how inept he was in trying to swing the mike as he yelled the Please Please, especially since he had half a dozen Maceo wannabees blowing the sax and nobody had the cape--well, that surely is a film one must see to appreciate. Sadly it's not out on DVD...
