Wed. 3/11/09 3:03pm From: Pearly Sweets

Whoo boy! Wednesdays. How 'bout it!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:03pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:05pm From: stingy d

yo dudes. what's shakin

Wed. 3/11/09 3:05pm From: Pearly Sweets

I kept waiting for M' to break through the glass and just start attacking.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:07pm From: goodie!

goodie.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:07pm From: 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?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:08pm From: 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!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:08pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:08pm From: Sean Daily

Seventh comment! Woo hoo!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:09pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:11pm From: Pearly Sweets

But, Irwin, is there a grand prize to tell the people about?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:12pm From: Sean Daily

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

Wed. 3/11/09 3:13pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:14pm From: Cecile

ZOMG, how much do I have to pledge to get this.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:15pm From: Liz B.

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

Wed. 3/11/09 3:16pm From: Cecile

Done and done!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:16pm From: Sean Daily

That was a real coup getting Beelzebub and his court to cover Spinal Tap, Irwin.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:17pm From: Listener 26705

Is this autotune?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:18pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:22pm From: BSI

great leaping locust-balls, this Shodder Grayson thing is the meaning of life thus far! Magnifique!!!!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:24pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Is it Shodder Grayson or Shouter Grayson?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:24pm From: The Man

Fine, walk away from my commercial stations. Two more naive listeners will replace you!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:24pm From: Pearl Sweets

Kenny G's show made me scat earlier.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:25pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:26pm From: Parq

Pearl, you mean like shoop-shooby-shooby or like run screaming from the room?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:27pm From: 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!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:27pm From: Pearly Sweets

There was a little bit of both around half way in.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:27pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:27pm From: Sean Daily

Cthonic week 2...?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:28pm From: kurt

What's the grand prize & how much??

Wed. 3/11/09 3:28pm From: Marshall Stacks

Tom Baker is not just the Doctor. He's the MAN.
An inspiration to all curmudgeons.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:29pm From: Baba B

Wow, is it last week again already?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:29pm From: still b/p

Does the yelling Irwin sound like Gene Wilder?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:29pm From: Cecile

Stop yelling. GIve me that CD, Irwin.
Give. It. To. Me.
Give it.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:30pm From: ?

Bring back bob! More Freakouts!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:30pm From: Lou

a good rationalization gets everyone through the day

Wed. 3/11/09 3:31pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Who let Jim Cramer in here?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:31pm From: BSI

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

Wed. 3/11/09 3:31pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:33pm From: JoeSteele

Crazy Irwin is remarkably entertaining.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:36pm From: still b/p

Does Fred Speck's Camp Combo singing sound like Tom Lehrer and Bert & Ernie?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:40pm From: Cecile

conjure, mynah bird, cockatoo

Wed. 3/11/09 3:41pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I think I'd rather have my parakeet listen to the Tom Baker rant.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:41pm From: BSI

Flying robot! Fire colon detox!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:44pm From: Parq

Still b/p, is this a multiple choice question?

Wed. 3/11/09 3:48pm From: still b/p

No, I think they'z all soundin' off in thar t' once. What a camp 'at was.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:55pm From: The Man

I have focus groups for questions like that.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:55pm From: The Man

If you don't pledge, I win!

Wed. 3/11/09 3:57pm From: 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'.

Wed. 3/11/09 3:57pm From: annie

i love liz berg

Wed. 3/11/09 4:00pm From: BSI

YOU CALL THIS FOOD?!??! ... is the best one yet.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:00pm From: Listener 26705

With the parrot disc under his belt, Irwin can now audition for all of the Gilbert Gottfried roles.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:01pm From: Cecile

Moodog book for me!

Kenny and Irwin CD! Gimme! Gimme!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:02pm From: Pearly Sweets

I was laughing a bit too hard for my good at work just a moment ago.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:02pm From: Sam

Liz may have the most charming voice on WFMU!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:03pm From: annie

whenever i hear it i smile..

Wed. 3/11/09 4:04pm From: Liz B.

Aw shucks, thanks guys!

Get in the running for the Moondog book/CD for a pledge of $15 or more!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:06pm From: Cecile

Here's a phrase for your parrot:
Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme Gimme Prize.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:10pm From: Sean Daily

Yay! Fried Sandwich!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:12pm From: Jess

I kind of want a fried sandwich now...

Wed. 3/11/09 4:13pm From: Parq

The roots of the Dusty Show . . .

Wed. 3/11/09 4:13pm From: Sean Daily

AND ZIP YOUR DAMN FLY, DUDE!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:13pm From: Cecile

You should teach a parrot to ask for another fried sandwich.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:14pm From: JoeSteele

They should come up with a simlar track about making a pledge.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:14pm From: Laura L

Corn weenies for breakfast, fried sandwich for lunch!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:16pm From: Cecile

Is that a booster antenna in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?

Wed. 3/11/09 4:19pm From: 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....

Wed. 3/11/09 4:19pm From: Pearly Sweets

Irwin, try your Yoko Ono to clean your throat out real nice.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:19pm From: Cecile

dammit.
I never win nuthin.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:20pm From: urgh

Irwin is like a party poker pop up when waiting for the download link

Wed. 3/11/09 4:21pm From: mike

davros?! enemy of tom baker?!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:22pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:23pm From: Jess

You should be proud, Irwin. it is a thing of beauty.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:23pm From: Talent Mgmt. Associates

Try this: "Leave Britney alooooone!"

Wed. 3/11/09 4:24pm From: Pearly Sweets

Where's my gift, jerk?

Wed. 3/11/09 4:25pm From: Cecile

PLEASE! GIMME A PRIZE! PLEASE!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:27pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I'd like to hear the Tom Baker thing again with "Exterminate!" shouted over it.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:28pm From: Sweet Pearls

You call this FOOOD?!?

Wed. 3/11/09 4:29pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:30pm From: 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!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:30pm From: Cecile

I think of you as a human shield between Bob and 7-second Delay, Irwin

Wed. 3/11/09 4:30pm From: The Man

If Irwin gives up, I win! Bwah Ha Ha!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:31pm From: stingy d

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

Wed. 3/11/09 4:32pm From: The Man

Fear my lawyers!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:33pm From: Pearly Sweets

Your dead air is better than their..."Fresh Air"!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:34pm From: annie

i'm tellin terry gross what you said!!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:34pm From: still p/s

Gross is right!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:37pm From: Sean Daily

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

DJ BOB TAKES OVER!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:37pm From: Pearly Sweets

Whoa... everything went silent!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:37pm From: BSI

whoa..... void.......

Wed. 3/11/09 4:37pm From: stingy d

Wed. 3/11/09 4:38pm From: Jess

Oh no, it's The Man!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:38pm From: 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!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:38pm From: annie

i thought it was part of the show

Wed. 3/11/09 4:40pm From: stingy d

Wed. 3/11/09 4:41pm From: Bas, NL

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.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:41pm From: Jess

Creeeeeeeepy. Irwin, don't do that again!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:42pm From: BSI

Bridge!
Report, number one...

Wed. 3/11/09 4:42pm From: Kenzo

My tech opinion: That was very peaceful.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:43pm From: The Man

That was air that could have been filled with money making advertisements.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:43pm From: Malcontent Misfit

Grumble Grumble Grumble!

Wed. 3/11/09 4:44pm From: Malkin

Where's my tent?

Wed. 3/11/09 4:46pm From: Budgie

Where's my gift, Jerk?

Wed. 3/11/09 4:47pm From: The Man

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

Wed. 3/11/09 4:50pm From: Budgie

Where's my gift, jerk?

Wed. 3/11/09 4:50pm From: still b/p

Yo...who dat gettin' eminent in my domain fifteen minutes ago?

Wed. 3/11/09 4:53pm From: Purrrlee Sweeps

Guilty as charged.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:54pm From: Liz B.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:55pm From: still b/p

Penalty: pledge mo' pledge mo'.

Wed. 3/11/09 4:55pm From: jack palance

Wed. 3/11/09 4:59pm From: dc pat

this sounds like wayne hancock

Wed. 3/11/09 5:00pm From: annie

i love this... soo funny

Wed. 3/11/09 5:01pm From: dc pat

or some one related to Hank I

Wed. 3/11/09 5:01pm From: Cecile

dangdangdangdang

Wed. 3/11/09 5:01pm From: stingy d

this sounds like ed schrader

Wed. 3/11/09 5:02pm From: Ike

So "Pills I Took" was really by Hank Williams III? Seriously? I'm startled. That was great.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:02pm From: Sean Daily

I was going to say Nick the Bard, stingy.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:03pm From: Cecile

you have to cover that Ron Griffin song at the Sinfonia some year

Wed. 3/11/09 5:06pm From: dc pat

Ike: yeah I wasn't expecting Hank III...MAYbe Hank IV...

Wed. 3/11/09 5:09pm From: Kyle

I remember hearing Bongwater sample this J&H productions

Wed. 3/11/09 5:10pm From: Cecile

see why I usually pre-pledge? see? see?

Wed. 3/11/09 5:12pm From: Cecile

I pledged

Wed. 3/11/09 5:12pm From: eveley

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

Wed. 3/11/09 5:12pm From: Marshall Stacks

I pledged. What about the rest of you work-avoiders?

Wed. 3/11/09 5:12pm From: annie

i'm tacking on more friday morning!!!

Wed. 3/11/09 5:16pm From: tombom

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

Wed. 3/11/09 5:18pm From: eveley

tombom: I have absolutely no cash available before next month and no cc :(

Wed. 3/11/09 5:19pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:19pm From: 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

Wed. 3/11/09 5:23pm From: Budgie

Where's my gift, Jerk?

Wed. 3/11/09 5:25pm From: 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.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:26pm From: Budgie

You Call This Food?!

Wed. 3/11/09 5:27pm From: Budgie

Where's my gift, Jerk?

Are you STILL Awake?!

Wed. 3/11/09 5:33pm From: Budgie

Help! This crazy bitch turned me into a budgie!

Wed. 3/11/09 5:34pm From: Budgy Sweets

Wed. 3/11/09 5:35pm From: Budgie

Where's my gift, Jerk?

Wed. 3/11/09 5:35pm From: Liz B.

Pledge $15 to get in the running for either the Moog DVD or the 2006 Muriel's Treasure CD.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:37pm From: Budgie

Wed. 3/11/09 5:40pm From: annie

one thin wafer...

Wed. 3/11/09 5:41pm From: Pearly Sweets

whoosh... there goes the air.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:42pm From: Pearly Sweets

More yellin! Add reverb! Play bird music for birds by birds!

Wed. 3/11/09 5:42pm From: dc pat

kill the budgie. You know, that brings up a point: it's amazing how generally well behaved we are on the comments.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:43pm From: dc pat

outside of singy of course...

Wed. 3/11/09 5:44pm From: Singy Sweets

Tell me about it!

Wed. 3/11/09 5:45pm From: dc singy

I like singy d... he should change his name..

Wed. 3/11/09 5:47pm From: Pearly Sweets

I'm counting down to the end of work along with the end of Irwin's show. It will be both a very happy and a very sad moment.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:49pm From: Pearly Sweets

It seems like when the bird cd came back the calls started pouring in! YES MORE YELLING, ADD REVERB! Bring the party for the last ten minutes! Samoan Fa'ataupati!!!!

Wed. 3/11/09 5:51pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I said I'd do it again, and I did.

Wed. 3/11/09 5:53pm From: Ismael

Wed. 3/11/09 5:55pm From: Parq

I dig the "please" mixed into this. Could you try harder to do it on the one and three?

Wed. 3/11/09 5:55pm From: Budgie

Hail Satan!

One final word: I hate you all.

Work. Buy Stuff. Repeat untill dead.

Wed. 3/11/09 6:02pm From: mike

it's soak time!

Sun. 3/15/09 3:25pm From: 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

Sun. 3/15/09 3:37pm From: 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.

Tue. 3/17/09 12:06am From: 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...
