Wed. 4/15/09 12:21pm From: Andy B. (SSD/ Go To Hell)

Bet you all are missing my programming now? Oh and Sean Daily - go to hell!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:22pm From: Cecile

I like being bored more than I do angry.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:22pm From: Sean Daily

Well, annie, Chapter 11's about the only chapter most companies on Wall Street know nowadays.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:24pm From: Pearly Sweets

Andy Breckman: I want to see Jim Morrison dead.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:24pm From: Sean Daily

So let me get this straight. HUMANS wrote this?

And Andy B.: ???????

Wed. 4/15/09 12:27pm From: Cecile

He's poking the beehive with a stick. If it is even Andy.

I'm going to lurk until Irwin comes on.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:30pm From: Sean Daily

You say that like poking a beehive with a stick is a bad thing, Cecile.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:31pm From: Cecile

it is if you puff up like a blowfish when you get bitten, Sean.
And the bees are our friends!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:32pm From: Sean Daily

Pass-through entities are what you get if eat too much fiber, aren't they?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:33pm From: gerardo

hola a todos!

hola kenny! - congrats for your qwartz award! ubuweb is a tremendous labor of love!

(never anyone has read the "formulario 22" like this here in Chile)

Wed. 4/15/09 12:34pm From: Cecile

that sounds like an void that needs to be filled, Gerardo.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:35pm From: Sean Daily

Let me guess. Jack Bodganski went completely insane right after he finished recording this.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:35pm From: annie

i was outside did i miss anything?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:36pm From: gerardo

are u suggesting i am the one to approach it , dear cecile?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:36pm From: Doug from DC

Actually, his podcast page for this ends with the note:
As you can see, this project is on hiatus, while the author seeks the guidance of a mental health professional. Check back here for updates as his various medications are adjusted.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:37pm From: annie

ok call me when they get to chapter 11. i'm going outside, turning on the radio to top forty.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:38pm From: Pearly Sweets

Music?! MUSIC?! I am kinda shocked.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:39pm From: Pearly Sweets

It always pays to stick around.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:40pm From: Sean Daily

annie: Dude, dude, you, OMG, you like missed the part where like the guy like went into married taxpayer filing corporate earning singly DUDE IT WAS TEH AWESOME.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:41pm From: annie

Wed. 4/15/09 12:41pm From: Pearly Sweets

Bravo! Bravo!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:43pm From: risky!

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:43pm From: gerardo

is "a small child" the one echoing you, kenny?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:44pm From: dc pat

more like "son or step-son"

Wed. 4/15/09 12:45pm From: Cecile

I am, gerardo!
Maybe you could set it to a catchy beat?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:46pm From: Sean Daily

Sing along, everyone! ONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:47pm From: annie

Kenny G: Giving Back to the Community by Training The New Generation of Radio Dadaists.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:48pm From: Pearly Sweets

We are strong! Heartache to Heartache! We stand!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:50pm From: Polyethelene

Kenny, it might do you well to be singing the laws on child abuse

Wed. 4/15/09 12:50pm From: still b/p

This is better, with the knacky prodigy. That Jack fellow, although he was clear, neutral and not aggressive, made me want to stab and stab like Tommy did to Billy Batts in the trunk of Henry's car. "Die, MF!!!"

Wed. 4/15/09 12:51pm From: Sean Daily

Now you gotta cut loose. Footloose. Kick off your Sunday shoes. Oo wee. Ma Rie. Something that rhymes with "Marie".

Wed. 4/15/09 12:51pm From: another old man

Are you taking requests? I'd love to here Schedule A or perhaps Form 8871- Child Care Credit.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:53pm From: risky!

This is GREAT!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:54pm From: Cecile

Next year - tax code remixes.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:55pm From: Sean Daily

So are we going to get the complete text of the Treaty of Versailles on Armistice Day?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:58pm From: Hues Corp. LLC

So I'd like to know where
You got deductions,
Said you gotta show where
you took deductions..

Wed. 4/15/09 12:59pm From: gerardo

right, i'll take the challenge, cecile!

let's see what can be done - any way, formulario 22 is definitely shorter and includes mainly numbers and columns

tax code remixes = "code weenies"?

"rock the code.."?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:59pm From: risky!

GREAT JOB FINN!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:59pm From: George Harrison

I'm the Taxman, I'm the taaaaaaaax-man

Wed. 4/15/09 12:59pm From: AIG

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wed. 4/15/09 1:00pm From: Cecile

LOL, gerardo!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:00pm From: Sean Daily

So is this how IRS employees talk dirty to each other.

"Oooooo... I've been a NAUGHTY girl. I need a good, HARD AUDIT."

Wed. 4/15/09 1:02pm From: gerardo

thanx, cecile :)

standing ovation for finn!

back in 15 minutes ;)

Wed. 4/15/09 1:03pm From: dc pat

so does Shirley wear black face?

Wed. 4/15/09 1:03pm From: Hues Corp. LLC

"Rock the code, don't rock the code, baby,.."
Yes, thank you, gerardo. Just right.
You'll receive a check for this assistance, which you must declare for the tax year 2009.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:07pm From: just a guy

@dc pat
Yes.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:07pm From: Sean Daily

Tax SEX? "Well, it'll certainly make chartered accountancy more interesting."

Wed. 4/15/09 1:07pm From: chris

Just got back from a tea party. What'd I miss?

Wed. 4/15/09 1:09pm From: Sean Daily

Now this Heathcote Williams letter is how you do a tax revolt, people.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:09pm From: dc pat

just as much of a dick as I thought.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:12pm From: Sean Daily

So... is anybody going to teabag their Congressman today? Anyone? Anyone?

Funny how no one will admit to that in public...

Wed. 4/15/09 1:18pm From: Sean Daily

OMG, OMG, this Coyle & Sharpe job would be TEH AWESOME.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:21pm From: Cecile

*thinking Lenny kayes guitar parts very loudly*

Wed. 4/15/09 1:23pm From: Simon

I thought it was a bit pitchy.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:27pm From: Parq

Oh, thank God, civilization at last! I was out for a while and what do I come back to? Wing covering Abba! Don't tell *me* this isn't worth donating for!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:28pm From: Sean Daily

All I know is that everything on Kenny G's playlist today would sound covered by Rank Sinatra.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:29pm From: Parq

Oh, by the way, unless Kenny's swtched to reading the Bankruptcy Code, you aren't going to be hearing Chapter 11, at least not the one you're thinking of.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:30pm From: Sean Daily

Sound better, that is. G'way, son, yer botherin' me.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:32pm From: Sean Daily

I was gonna call AIG soulless bags of meat just waiting to be torn apart by rabid Rottweillers but, hey, whatever, Kenny.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:33pm From: Cecile

ah, he's reading from old comments. AWESOME

Wed. 4/15/09 1:34pm From: Cecile

Ken's old comments and mic breaks!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:35pm From: AIG

To reiterate: hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wed. 4/15/09 1:37pm From: Parq

Whoa, the resemblance is uncanny! Has anyone ever really -- I mean really -- seen Ken and Kenny together? Diid anyone see "Kenny" in the audience durng Ken's "Mariah Carey from Hell" turn at the 'thon finale?? I thought not.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:38pm From: Tesla Dvah

Vielleicht ist die Zeit ist reif für ein Konkurs-Code / Tax Code mashup...

Wed. 4/15/09 1:38pm From: Pearly Sweets

Hey! I remember this show.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:39pm From: Sean Daily

Well, I don't know if I wanted to do THAT to AIG or shove THAT up THERE, Kenny.

And I'm pretty sure I didn't mention anything about a hamster...

Wed. 4/15/09 1:44pm From: Hugo

Didn't know that Marianne Faithful did one of Heathcote Williams' poems "Why d'ya do it" on "Broken English". Quite a spell-binding performance, though not your typical radio play, I'd think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH6bAMKA5fU

A versatile chap, that Heatcote. He used to write for International Times back in the 70s (and, ahem, for Suck, too) ...

Wed. 4/15/09 1:44pm From: Parq

This is brilliant! It should come with footnotes.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:46pm From: Harvey

Superb

Wed. 4/15/09 1:46pm From: dc pat

this is great, C'MON JOHNNY!!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:48pm From: still b/p

She sounds like Ann Sheridan in The Man Who Came to Dinner.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:49pm From: efd

I'm getting flashbacks of sitting in the old Thalia movie theater.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:49pm From: Sean Daily

So Beelzebub has a devil set aside for her, for her, for HEEEEERRRRRRRRRR?

Wed. 4/15/09 1:51pm From: dc pat

I could listen to this for 3 hours

Wed. 4/15/09 1:54pm From: Parq

Isn't this from 20th Century Blues? Great album! Wish I could have seen her in "Threepenny".

Wed. 4/15/09 1:54pm From: Cecile

I can't believe that record is ten years old. I still play it all the time.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:54pm From: gerardo

i'm back!

how many times does she say the name "johnny" throughout the rant?

did i hear a remix alarm?...

Wed. 4/15/09 1:56pm From: Johnny

Wow, great show

Wed. 4/15/09 1:57pm From: Carmichael

Aaahhh, back in time to hear Marianne. Or is that Paul Williams??

Wed. 4/15/09 1:57pm From: C

ju killt johnny

Wed. 4/15/09 1:59pm From: Carmichael

Good ol' Ed Sanders & crew.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:00pm From: Carmichael

Slum Goddess has long been one of my favorite songs. And Kill for Peace.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:00pm From: dc pat

they always make me feel good Carm... KILL KILL KILL FOR PEACE!!

Wed. 4/15/09 2:03pm From: Pearly Sweets

I came across my 2fer1 josie cotton cd just the other day.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:03pm From: Parq

Ah -- I was literally just typing up a question whether or not this was coming up.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:04pm From: Negator

Johnny hit and run Pauline

Wed. 4/15/09 2:04pm From: Carmichael

National Lampoon's "Lemmings" has a song about Johnny, who was a biker. So my parents hated hi-hiyim ....

Wed. 4/15/09 2:06pm From: Negator

Johnny Angel

Wed. 4/15/09 2:09pm From: Pearly Sweets

I am excited for the Kenny G Keys to the Kingdom archive

Wed. 4/15/09 2:11pm From: Hugo

I got the last one he did which had the Portsmouth Sinfonia. Always wanted their murdering of the classics.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:13pm From: Pearly Sweets

Grandpa?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:18pm From: listener jeff

the apple don't fall far from the tree

Wed. 4/15/09 2:31pm From: AnAnonymousParty

eight is two?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:33pm From: Oscar

No, Ed is. Next year he'll be three.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:33pm From: BSI

Shewt... For many of us, eight was two a LONG, LONG time ago... And I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:34pm From: stingy d

it's official... i broke my hand.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:35pm From: still b/p

how you break him, stingy?

That Capitol Air has a good...beat.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:36pm From: Vicki

watching this show from a train coming back from Newcastle

Wed. 4/15/09 2:36pm From: Sean Daily

Yeah, and how about that time six was nine? All the hippies cut off their hair, and I didn't care. It was WACKY.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:37pm From: bait gulper

Get the the coals dropped off okay, Vicki?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:38pm From: Pearly Sweets

If that is a case, Stingy, I don't mind as long as you replace it. Thanks for coming forward and admitting it.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:39pm From: Vicki

yes, all the seagulls are black now

Wed. 4/15/09 2:41pm From: AnAnonymousParty

My head is all squishy too. No wait, it's my hand. How did I break my hand?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:42pm From: Sean Daily

It's not the webbed fingers, the fur or the claws that worry me about my son. It's the fact that he looks like the milkman.

Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all week.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:43pm From: Vicki

this show looks clever - is it a Kenny clever show?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:43pm From: Pearly Sweets

You ever notice how it seems that Irwin has more fun on Kenny's show than on his own?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:44pm From: Parq

I think Kenny's son is swell, and I want to buy him an ice cream.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:44pm From: Sean Daily

Can you guys get Nathan Explosion to do the Tax Code? That would be so BRUTAL.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:44pm From: BSI

so clever, i believe i've swallowed my tongue in a desperate attempt to retain composure here at work.... gurk!

Wed. 4/15/09 2:45pm From: Vicki

it's always more fun on other people's shows because you don't have the responsibility and you can go home. And if you are really obnoxious you can even get the host thrown off the air by making them say rude words like shit and poo

Wed. 4/15/09 2:48pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Irwin doesn't have to worry about getting his pay docked screwing around on Kenny's show.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:48pm From: BSI

you calls dis FOOD?!?!

Wed. 4/15/09 2:48pm From: Pearly Sweets

Poo!

Wed. 4/15/09 2:48pm From: ?

thanks guys, i'm currently doing my taxes and this is helping so much

Wed. 4/15/09 2:52pm From: nEGATOR

Thanks guys, I just learned I did my taxes wrong per subsection b :(

Wed. 4/15/09 2:52pm From: Sean Daily

It's kind of like School House Rock for the Internal Revenue Code, y'know?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:53pm From: gerardo

"es imposiible, mi cielo, tan separados, viviiir..."

Wed. 4/15/09 2:54pm From: Cecile

I probably missed a bunch, but it's a lovely day in St. Paul

Wed. 4/15/09 2:54pm From: gerardo

vicki! - how's everything going around?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:55pm From: Cecile

Vicki, it is a very clever show, if you are still around.

Wed. 4/15/09 2:55pm From: gerardo

latin tax code has been the menu, cecile

Wed. 4/15/09 2:56pm From: BSI

The floor-show for this is really incredible... six dozen dwarf accountants, scuttling along the floor with adding machines like caffeinated fiddler crabs....

Wed. 4/15/09 2:56pm From: Cecile

nice, gerardo!

Wed. 4/15/09 2:57pm From: jan

who is the abused child accompanying Kenny in his little musical number?

Wed. 4/15/09 2:57pm From: Cecile

Wow, BSI that's a sight!

Wed. 4/15/09 2:58pm From: stingy d

i felt off my bike then i felt asleep on the sidewalking

Wed. 4/15/09 3:00pm From: Parq

Y'know, "six dozen dwarf accountants, scuttling along the floor with adding machines like caffeinated fiddler crabs" would make a good name for -- no it wouldn't, that's ridiculous, never mind.
