Listener comments!
	6:37pm Krys O.: Hello dere!
	👻 7:51pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	👻 7:51pm Austin Rich: Nancy! I am a big Bushmiller fan. This is off to a good start.
	7:54pm Krys O.: Thanks, Austin. I'm a Nancy fan too. There are some challenging situations on tonight's show. Some cursing. There's a really inspired bit with an incredible actor in their youth.
	👻 7:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @7:54 I am ready! Thanks for the warning.
	8:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya, Krys, gang! Oh boy, this is gonna be great!
	8:01pm Krys O.: Hey, Pauly!
	👻 8:02pm Mr Fab: Hey all, can't wait to dig the many moods of Krys O.
	8:02pm Krys O.: Thanks, Mr. Fab!
	8:06pm HyperDose: Putting in the overtime this week, Krys. We appreciate you!
	8:06pm Feldy: Always the people who can't do the thing who have all the ideas about how it should go
	8:07pm Mxter Baba: I feel like I'm watching a tightwire act!!!
	8:07pm Krys O.: Hi, HyperDose! I'm celery-ied. No overtime.
	8:08pm Krys O.: ↳ Feldy @8:06 Exactly, Feldy! And Murry was a monster.
	8:09pm Krys O.: Murry gets EVERYTHING wrong! LOL!
	8:10pm Feldy: I love Brian's honest plea to just record in a relaxed atmosphere
	8:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Feldy @8:10 Brian has had to deal with Murry's insanity for the longest.
	👻 8:12pm Mr Fab: From what I read, these sessions were a waste. They had to go back later and without dad's interference they were able to cut the actual hit version of the song.
	8:12pm HyperDose: Yayy Helen Mirren!
	8:12pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:12 Indeed!
	👻 8:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Help Me Rhonda session" by "Beach Boys & Murry Wi... I had never heard that before. Damn.
	8:13pm Krys O.: Mirren is 30 years old here.
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby"? Wow.
	8:14pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:13 Oh, it goes on....
	👻 8:15pm Austin Rich: Wow.
	8:25pm HyperDose: This dude is wild
	👻 8:25pm Austin Rich: I think I like Helen Mirren even more now.
	👻 8:26pm Austin Rich: She's fantastic.
	8:26pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:25 If that's even possible. Love her eternally.
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:26 That was amazing. She is truly the best.
	👻 8:30pm WR: ↳ Song: "interviewed by Michael Parkinson" by "Helen Mirren" From Wikipedia, showing more how the press viewed Mirren in 1975. "...Ella in Ben Travers's new farce The Bed Before Yesterday ("Mirren is stirringly voluptuous as the Harlowesque good-time girl": Michael Billington, The Guardian)."
	8:31pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @8:30 Hi, WR! Yup, that was the tabloid mentality of the British press.
	👻 8:32pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Infamous Bus Tapes" by "Buddy Rich and Friends" do you know the dates for these Buddy Rich rants?
	8:33pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @8:32 I remember hearing them in the late 1980s. Could have been early 80s?
	👻 8:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Infamous Bus Tapes" by "Buddy Rich and Friends" I had sort of heard he was a jerk, but damn. Wow.
	8:35pm Krys O.: Ooh, just found this info: Who recorded the Buddy Rich tapes? Pianist Lee Musiker says it was in a spirit of awe and reverence for Rich's wisdom, professionalism and steely command that he originally recorded (surreptitiously with an Aiwa tape recorder stuffed inside a folded up newspaper on his lap) the iconic “Buddy Tapes” between January of 1983 and January of 1985
	8:36pm Krys O.: I preferred Gene Krupa anyway. ;)
	👻 8:39pm WR: ↳ Krys O. @8:35 Jazztimes article on the Rich tapes. jazztimes.com...
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: "It can be..."
	👻 8:41pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Argument Sketch" by "Monty Python" thank you for inserting something lighthearted. Actually the Beach Boys / Murray made me squirm so much I had to stop listening...
	👻 8:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Argument Sketch" by "Monty Python" had this album as a kid. Pretty sure me and my brother could probably reenact the whole sketch by heart.
	8:42pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @8:41 I understand that, WR. It's best to consider that Brian prevailed and Murry was an abject failure. Buddy Rich will always be reviled. : D
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:42 Same boat. I used to know a LOT of Monty Python by heart. These days it's mostly fallen out... but some bits still come to me.
	8:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:42 Same here. I recited the Penguin on the Television sketch word for word at my friend's birthday party as a request. I did the voices too.
	👻 8:46pm Austin Rich: "Yes I can hear you."
	👻 8:46pm WR: ↳ Krys O. @8:44 That sounds fabulous, Krys,
	8:47pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Argue in the Studio" by "The Troggs" This inspired aspects of Spinal Tap.
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: These tapes have their own wiki: en.wikipedia.org...
	8:48pm Krys O.: Reg Presley speaks just like he sings.
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: Maybe I'm not living my best life, but I've never had an argument like this with anyone in my life. Am I not trying hard enough?
	8:51pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:50 It takes a lot of narcissism to get to that point, Austin.
	8:52pm HyperDose: This is one of the most unhinged sessions I've ever heard. Absolutely no direction from the producer
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:51 Hmmmmm. Yeah, I'm not sure if I've got it in me, as much as I love Spinal Tap.
	👻 8:56pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I don't care about drums that much.
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: Ha ha, when this show started, the Troggs tapes was the first thing I thought of. Legendary! This is why (some) bands should not produce themselves.
	8:57pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:57 Correct!
	👻 8:58pm Austin Rich: Great, as usual! Thanks!
	8:58pm HyperDose: ↳ Mr Fab @8:57 No producer? That makes a lot of sense. Would love to hear them encounter a tape jam!
	8:59pm HyperDose: Thanks for the extra scoop of freeform, Krys. Have a lovely evening!
	👻 8:59pm Mr Fab: All that was missing today was the Casey Kasem tapes. But I guess we know those already.
	👻 8:59pm WR: I read a Troggs bio book that had an appendix on The Troggs tapes with full background on the session and transcript of the tape. According to the Wikipedia page Austin linked, there was a producer.
	8:59pm Krys O.: Thanks for listening, everyone!
	👻 8:59pm WR: Thank you, Krys, sweet dreams all y'all.
	9:00pm HyperDose: ↳ WR @8:59 Poor Dennis Berger! I hope he was compensated handsomely
	👻 11:53pm WR: A very memorable episode. Thanks again.
