Holly in NC:

Hi Joe & all! Desperately trying to listen on new phone (finally, reluctantly retired vintage flip phone) but connection & app wonky at moment.

Joe, DID listen to your show from 2 weeks back whilst walking dogs today, that was wonderful. OK, off to try to listen to *this* show, cross your fingers.

Well, there was this: www.buzzfeed.com...
  1:21am
Destroit:

Love the Olympics. Struggle with the coverage, but it's always a great fall back watch on the TV.
  1:26am
Droll:

JMcG, Whoa -- I have to say the fact there's 43 images leans much more towards terrifying than hilarious. Clown-like makeup seals the deal for me. Images 30-31 must represent some fetish from daytime TV I'm not familiar with.
  1:26am
Holly in NC:

Love Olympics, even NBC couldn't wreck the greatness of the athletes
  1:28am
Holly in NC:

Did y'all see the diver faces? Don't have URL handy, sorry

Droll, you're a good man & deserve a drink ...
  2:12am
