Listener comments!

  3:02pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hey Irwin!
Diggin' the Jim Flora--I know you've dug him for a while!
  3:03pm
Mussel:

I'm feeling so isolated, sitting here on a cermaic plate...
  3:05pm
Customer:

Then let me down you with an elegant hand gesture.
  3:07pm
Mussel:

Covered in hot brine...wait, that Customer, what's he doing? He's not rescuing me, OH NO HELP!
(echoes, fades)
  3:08pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Gentlemen, I Neglected to Inform You You Will Not Be Getting Paid"..Sounds like one of Irwin's previous show titles.
  3:12pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I am discovering plot holes
  3:14pm
Garrison Keillor:

This is a better story than I ever told!!
  3:15pm
still b/p:

Had to get my Kindle realigned when I was going too fast and hit a major plot hole.
  3:16pm
das:

Sounds like a Scott Thompson's Buddy Cole character
  3:17pm
Brass Knuckles:

That is the worst Irwin impersonation I've ever heard.
  3:18pm
Garrison Keillor:

Can anyone recommend a great 'shroom pizza!
  3:18pm
Matt from Springfield:

b/p: If you shake that Kindle too hard, the words move around and you get a story like that one.
  3:20pm
Dan and Joel:

Have you heard our new ad with a hard-rock music bed? No shit! We are now TOTALLY "WITH IT" and have our eyes on Flo's demo!
  3:21pm
Garrison Keillor:

Is that Eddie and Flo?
  3:21pm
Flo:

Yeah, well just remember, neither one of you can be within 300 yds of me. Judge's orders.
  3:22pm
Dan and Joel:

We heard that certain assholes were going around saying we were stale and out of date and way past worn out. FUCK THAT SHIT.
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, this is all from the same Brian Protheroe track? This is most remarkable...
  3:23pm
Dan and Joel:

@Flo: Can you give us an example, BITCH.
  3:23pm
Garrison Keillor:

Damn the cops are here again. They must have smelled the weed. I will tell them I was cooking with arugula. Be right back. Brought to you by the Ketchup Council.
  3:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

And Dan and Joel, it sounds like they're in an action movie!

Dan: This is Dan Tullis! And I just blasted...
Joe: YOUR - HEAD! (fire machine guns)
  3:27pm
Dan and Joel:

@Matt: You got it, dude. Massive blockbuster Hollywood movie upcoming, with us as the standard black-white cop partners.
  3:28pm
Dan and Joel:

Go ahead, give the DJ a widgie.
  3:29pm
Samuel L. Jackson & John Malkovich:

The competition's fierce for those most prized roles, so we're working hard for the audition.
  3:29pm
Garrison Keillor:

Front or back widgie?
  3:30pm
Pseudonyms:

Seems everyone prefers to chat using us today instead of their usual monikers.
  3:31pm
Sue D. Nimm:

Huh?
  3:31pm
Garrison Keillor:

Hey I am a Lutheran and Norwegian-American, so I am honest and love fish.
  3:31pm
Characters:

@Pseudonyms: Ever occur to you they may be using US, to express themselves creatively?? Gawd, you're such a jerk!
  3:32pm
G:

Creativity? Who dat?
  3:32pm
Dictionary:

@Garrison: You've already contributed "Lake Wobegon syndrome" to us, just retire already!
  3:33pm
Pseudoku:

Yeah, puzzling.
  3:33pm
Garrison Keillor:

is this Gordon Gecko from the the Belligerent Ladies? I can't retire The New Yorker wont take any of my stories either.
  3:36pm
G:

There are rules! Don't use a name of someone who remotely might really post on FMU.
  3:37pm
Dan B From Upstate:

There are rules?
  3:38pm
Walter Sobchak:

This is not nam, there are rules.
  3:38pm
G:

Customs. Common sense (if you got it, smoke it)
  3:38pm
John Allen Paulos, WSJ:

Technically, of course, almost everybody can be above average; in fact, almost everybody has two arms, which is slightly more than the average number of arms.
  3:38pm
Dan B From Upstate:

I mean aside from the unstated but widely accepted "don't be a dick."
  3:39pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

well, you can be a dick, but you have to have a certain panache to do it right.
  3:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

This is an interesting Harry Nilsson, never heard this one before.
  3:39pm
Peter O'Toole:

Despite what my name would indicate, I am no dick.
  3:40pm
abby:

this is from the movie, 'the point.'
  3:40pm
Your DJ Types:

What about logical incongruences? Like me appearing on the page of a DJ who never uses me?
  3:40pm
G:

@Matt: Sacrcasm will get you everywhere.
  3:41pm
Ratso Rizzo:

Not one of Harry's finest
  3:41pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this was also used for promoting a poorly designed mid-70s Dodge
  3:41pm
still b/p:

Is that the same version Harry had in Top 40 rotation in the early 70s? Seems different.
  3:42pm
Ratso:

KEY, I'M POSTIN' HEAH!!!!
  3:42pm
Carmichael:

Nilsson's song was very contextual. If you saw The Point, you'd understand it more, and probably appreciate it just as more.
  3:42pm
Ted Nugent:

Now, let me tell you about MY arrow.
  3:43pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks abby! I've heard the unusual narrations from The Point before, but not any of the regular songs.

@G: No sarcasm, I actually like certain Harry Nilsson songs.
  3:43pm
Harry Nilsson:

I admit that Arrow song sucked
  3:43pm
Brass Knuckles:

Regarding this song/band, is there a term called "safe rock?"
  3:44pm
John Lennon:

Yeah, Harry, who knew.
  3:44pm
Dustin Hoffman:

Matt from S'field, that song is from a Nilsson piece that became a movie I voiced called "The Point". Wikipedia says that contractual problems arose with my voice-tracks, and all later versions of the movie use a different actor.
  3:44pm
Harry Nilsson:

John you had a few clunkers too. But your fans won't admit that.
  3:45pm
Carmichael:

There was a pretty good tribute album a few years back, For the Love of Harry. Randy Newman, The Roches, Adrian Belew, Joe Ely, etc ... Fred Schneider does a kick-ass rock version of Lime in the Coconut.
  3:46pm
Harry Nilsson:

So did Flip Wilson
  3:46pm
G:

@Matt: Sorry, I assumed sarcasm because it's a native language on comments boards, and in addition that Me and My Arrow song was heavily, heavily played when it was on the charts!
  3:46pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Dustin: Didn't know you did the narrations, then again I might have heard the different actor's voice--have to check that out.
  3:46pm
Ringo:

The Nilsson doc is pretty good and well worth your time and it's streaming on Netflix.
  3:46pm
You know my name:

Look up the number.
  3:47pm
John Lennon's toilet (Net worth $35,000,000)):

Yer full of it
  3:47pm
Frank Zappa:

So who wants to hear Rat Tomago?
  3:48pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

y'ins is outta control
  3:48pm
G:

My, aren't we energetic this afternoon. All-day rain in NYC is keeping people inside off the streets and at computers, perhaps.
  3:48pm
Noddy Holder:

Hellooooo everybody!!!!
  3:50pm
Frank Zappa:

You need the secret decoder ring to figure out the track numbers.
  3:50pm
John Lennon:

Frank Zappa stole Rat Tomago from my album Live in NY.
  3:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: You're right about the 'native language' part; however I'm 26 and never heard the original when it was overplayed.
  3:51pm
Sysiphus:

There is no safe rock.
  3:51pm
Decoder Ring:

Drink more Ovaltine
  3:51pm
Frank Zappa:

No you and Yoko with Phil Spector, stole King Kong from me. I made that mistake to invite you on stage.
  3:52pm
Marshall McLuhan:

Using pseudonyms taken from names of deceased celebrities is acceptable to the rules, as it immediately indicates a conceptual joke.
  3:52pm
Carmichael:

Another hour or so of this banter, and everyone will suddenly peter out and vanish.
  3:52pm
Woody Allen:

You nothing about Marshall McLuhan
  3:53pm
Woody Allen:

Hey Hoagy chill out
  3:53pm
Yoko Ono:

Frank, you are scumbag
  3:53pm
still b/p:

The moniker is the message.
  3:54pm
Mark Zuckerberg:

This is why I think it's best people are only allowed one identity on the web.
  3:54pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Don't fall for that "if you ain't part of the solution, you're part of the problem" crap. Objective observers fulfill a vital role. Don't bow to peer pressure.
  3:54pm
Facebook:

Many people have multiple accounts.
  3:55pm
Frank Zappa:

Well I do give you credit for accelerating the Beatles demise. Kudos
  3:56pm
Jimmy Carl Black:

I'm the indian of the group
  3:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Mark: Cited as one reason you prevailed over MySpace--an .edu email was required (including when I joined), so there were less joke and alias pages. But what about now? It's slowly going to become less controlled over time.
  3:56pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Sounds like Fountains of Wayne don't fear the reaper.
  3:57pm
Chaos:

Come to the dark side!
  3:57pm
Netflix:

We are fixing our recent mistakes! You can now stream from our combined music and movie service. Special this week: Three Coins in the Fountains of Wayne
  3:58pm
Pools of Ho Ho Kus:

I wish our band was as successful as the Fountains
  3:59pm
Napster:

Spare any change for a cup of starbuck?
  4:01pm
Septic Tanks of JC:

@Pools: YOU have problems?
  4:01pm
Justin Bond as Kiki LuRaine:

I've done a nifty version of "Coconuts" too. Irwin's played it. Just saying.
  4:01pm
Owen WIlson:

Hey is Woody still here? I need my paycheck.
  4:02pm

  4:04pm

  4:05pm

  4:11pm

  4:12pm
das:

Can somebody explain to me the significance of Mimi in the lyrics of Amanda?
  4:12pm
Billy Ocean:

Wow, Old Hickory I think the party starts now!
  4:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

@das: When Amanda sings as "Amanda", she calls the character "Mimi Cookie".
  4:14pm
Tom Scholz:

Yes and I wrote a song about her
  4:15pm
Owen Wilson:

What kind of orange background is that? I want to say it's Tangelo, but it could be a Mardigras Gold.
  4:16pm
Martha Stewart:

Pumpkin!
  4:16pm
New Jersey State Color Authority:

It's either West Orange or East Orange.
  4:16pm
Harry Belafonte:

  4:23pm
Hip Hep C:

Hey are you trying to get rid of me?
  4:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

@JCJ: Interesting, never knew about the website. No problems with me, but Virginia (Ashburn) is running at 93, so I seem to be one of the luckier ones.
  4:25pm

Love your show Irwin. Are you ever going to broadcast on Second Life? I know the web is slow, but that is no excuse.
  4:30pm
jaycjay:

@Irwin, the FAQ on the site explains it all as well or better than I could:
http://www.internettrafficreport.com/faq.htm
  4:34pm
1994:

Is it still funny to yell "Skynryd" at concerts?
  4:35pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

People are still doing that, even at noise shows. it's so un-funny it's ridic.
  4:35pm
Walter Cronkite:

Don't ask me.
  4:36pm
jaycjay:

Never heard anyone yell "Skynyrd" at a concert. It was actually "Free Bird!" But in any case, no. Not funny.
  4:37pm
1974:

What about the fake arrow through the head, that's still funny right?
  4:37pm
Robert Plant:

How abot Stairway? Do you remember laughter?
  4:39pm
Old HIckory:

oh hi Billy

how you burning baby girl?
  4:39pm
Groupie:

No, but I remember a mudshark.
  4:39pm
Wayne:

No "Stairway"? De-nied!
  4:40pm
1974:

I remember the pet rock
  4:40pm
Robert Plant:

Well Wayne, you can take those fountains and . . .
  4:41pm
Frank Zappa:

Yes that mudshark of your mythology
  4:43pm
Tech Guy:

Throw the printer out the window or down a stairwell. That ALWAYS solves the problem.
  4:44pm
Robert Plant:

Stairway to Printing
  4:45pm
Skynyrd:

Some of us are dead. Is that enough to qualify for automatic irony?
  4:45pm
AnAnonymousParty:

@Irwin, my car's not running right, could you come over and beat the crap out of it? Or at least send it a threatening email?
  4:45pm
Matt from Springfield:

Feel like a man for a change? I thought you only "Feel Like A Woman" when you're with Kenny G.
  4:45pm
Brass Knuckles:

Like my old NES when the game wasn't working. Take out the cartridge, blow violently into it, stick it back in, then slam the top of the console a few times.
  4:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

With technology it often depends on the person. I've found that being nice to machines doesn't work, and for me hitting machines with physical violence also doesn't.

Instead what I found works is to use mental cruelty on them--say how worthless and expendable they are, openly fantasize about their replacement--and usually they lose the will to resist.
  4:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Brass K: Ah, fond memories! I can still mime that action--(hit the center eject panel, pull cartridge out, point towards my face, purse my lips and blow real hard at the metal shape on the bottom). Ah...
  4:51pm
My Cat:

Pay attention to me stat! Or else I will lie down on the ihgfurghphnerjard

Hey did you see me on SNL with Foster the People. Screw Pat Metheny!
  4:53pm
Pat Metheny:

What did I do?

Kenny G:

You are a hater! Google your rant about me.
  4:56pm
Kenny G:

Ooops I am sorry. I think you were right Pat.
  4:58pm
Pat Metheny:

Admitting you have a problem IS the first step.
  5:00pm
Zamfir:

Pretending to be Kenny G. is just lame.
  5:01pm
The Other Kenny G:

So, which one AM I?
  5:03pm
Slim Whitman:

I agree with Zamfir
  5:06pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Ooh, that's weird. I live in Worden. I'll bet I know that guy.

  5:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: Have you ever played the trash-talking songs by Wilmouth towards Roaring Lion (and vice versa) back to back?
  5:11pm
Irwin:

@Matt: those are called picongs (war songs). Great stuff.
  5:16pm
Hey . . .:

How about some Mohammed Rafi?Jaan Pehechaan Ho for instance
  5:16pm
Zorn Rules:

Kate Bush? Jane Siberry? Never heard of this of this person, but it sounds great.

Ken From Hyde Park:

Tomorrow is our 15th wedding anniversary. Should we celebrate by going to the WFMU meet-up at Maxwell's tomorrow? Do you think my wife would enjoy that?
  5:30pm
Aaron Neville's Mole:

I'll take credit.
  5:30pm

Yeah, an alto Kate Bush.

You should make a donation instead of getting a gift. Classy.
The gift that keeps on giving.

awesome. sam phillips is great. it helps that jay bellerose is easily the best drummer going.

American Pear Marketing Board:

We'd love to hear from you. Are you planning on growing a pear?

Please kill me.

  5:56pm

Yes, great show today Irwin! Have a good night!

Use a pear to beat that Epsom printer! You'll feel like you got a pear!
