	🍝 3:47pm karlward: Any chance we're gonna hear some Leenalchi? Because we have plenty of Leenalchiz Whiz for snack time: www.instagram.com...
	3:48pm annette: hello. happy dyngus, all. I assume you are the Olivia who compiled the 2020 cassette MINDFULNESS FOR JERKOFFS. it is a fantastic mind blowing journey. i am amazed by it all and have made no progess whatsoever.
	3:49pm olivia: hahaha Annette. If you've made it that far, I think you are doing pretty well! To realize no progress is to truly progress... or something like that. I am so glad you have listened / enjoyed!
	3:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey sphere!
	4:00pm sphere: :)
	4:00pm queems: hello olivia & all! thanks for the great macrame dyeing music
	4:01pm Handy Haversack: Hello, Olivia, Olivians.
	🍝 4:03pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: "probability is magic" is one hell of a hot take!
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: I hated calculus. I think partly out of attitude problems. I just wanted to edit the literary magazine and smoke cigarettes. Yet now I need to calculate conic sections all the time, and where have my skills all gone?
	4:04pm Food Caboose: Oh man, me too! Loved diff-eq and all the calc I took in HS and college, but prob and stats kicked my ass.
	4:04pm Phillippe Bastille: hey handy
	🍝 4:04pm karlward: And of course there is "Machine Learning: The High Interest Credit Card of Technical Debt" research.google...
	4:04pm headcleaner: probability and stats are as real as math gets! but they are definitely quite "dry" compared to more geometry-oriented topics (like calculus)
	4:04pm frankiespells: statistics is like weather prediction but more....corporate lol I can't help but pretend I'm a teenage girl in NJ when I'm here...
	4:05pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe!
	4:07pm Mennlinn Rebarts: I just love Okinawan music!!!!
	🍝 4:08pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: learn enough about statistics and probability and you can win money gambling. nuff said
	4:08pm steveo: hi Olivia & raviolios; been listening and liking lots
	4:10pm Marie: Hey, I'm just loving the tunes
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: Or at least realize that you are likely to lose money gambling, BBQB JA! (That said, poker was very good to me Sat. afternoon.)
	4:14pm headcleaner: @buffalo: interestingly, most successful poker players have only limited understanding of (formal) probability theory. And many are basically mathematically illiterate / allergic
	4:15pm eºIºk: If anyone wants to start a WFMU commenter poker Zoom group, I’m in. I’m not very good but I’m enthusiastic. Can we all wear those funny green-shaded hats like on Star Trek: TNG?
	🍝 4:16pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: you'd think that would be where most of your knowledge base would come from - understanding the probability of your hand to win, and understanding the mathematically most efficient bet you could make on that hand
	4:16pm steveo: a book that helped me enjoy calculus is "A Tour of the Calculus" by David Berlinski (1995)
	🍝 4:17pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: although the whole 'bluffing' thing throws a huge wrench into playing probabilities too heavily... unlike blackjack
	4:17pm headcleaner: Rather, they get a lot of mileage out of "reading the room" (knowing their opponents, and their gut instincts as to whether they are bluffing in a given moment). And on lengthy personal data trail on how they handled various corner cases in the game (which are fiendishly complex). But it's much more "muscle memory" -based than math-based.
	4:18pm headcleaner: EIK - "not very good, but enthusiastic" is exactly the kind of opponents successful poker players love to have :)
	4:18pm Handy Haversack: The new big thing in poker is game-theory optimal play, which is basically "if you always do the exact right thing for the specific situation, you'll win! Now memorize the following billion combinations." But I think most successful poker players of the last twenty years have a pretty good knowledge of odds and probability. Certainly, you can make it work more in Limit than No Limit. But then, Limit is boring.
	4:20pm milkis: I’m a simple man. I hear Okinawan music in the radio, I turn it up.
	4:21pm Marie: I am not sure why but i love a lot of japanese music an find their culture very interesting. i think partially because they tend to be animists and thus maybe more spiritually oriented? Like everything is alive
	4:21pm coelacanth∅: ^ with milkis on that
	4:23pm joe mulligan: that PAN compilation is all hits! great show today Olivia
	4:25pm headcleaner: Poker is definitely a fascinating game (mathematically and psychologically). But ultimately a huge, festering rabbit hole (in both senses) and in recent years, has become highly developed and professionalized (such that there's now a very considerable learning curve to catch up just not to get creamed... let alone gain lucrative skills in it)
	4:26pm headcleaner: All things considered, I'd rather devote that energy to other pursuits (like learning Japanese)
	🍝 4:28pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @marie thousands of years of taoist / buddhist / shinto influence will have that effect
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: me too, but some folks make a good living playing poker
	4:29pm Micheal: Love this Star Gazing - thanks, Olivia!
	4:30pm Marie: @Josh--yeah, makes sense. Were those dolphins?
	🍝 4:31pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: hell if i know!
	4:31pm Marie: @Josh--maybe I'l start a taoist/buddhist/shinto movement here in the US of A! I could start in New Jersey
	4:34pm Yes: 😎
	🍝 4:35pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @marie hah. if you are actually interested, there are several authentic zen centers in the NYC area, not so sure about Jersey. i don't know much about taoism and shintoism but i would think those have a bit more of a language and culture barrier. most Zen centers these days tend to be run by (white) Americans.
	4:35pm headcleaner: some folks make good living at poker, but (for that to happen) there hast to be a "silent majority" of players who are at best borderline, and most likely steadily losing slightly. As well as a constant stream of "marks" coming into the game and quickly washing out.
	4:38pm Phillippe Bastille: They say if you sit in on a game and can't figure out who the worst player is it is probably you. Or, in my case, it's always me
	4:41pm headcleaner: There was one famous player who wrote about this a few years ago - something to the effect of how the game became a "black hole" to him once he realized how, in order for him to be raking in all that other dough... scores and scores of other (typically lonely men) were running their lives into the ground
	4:45pm headcleaner: One has to remember that, at the end of the day, the game of poker doesn't create -anything- in the form of tangible wealth of utility (and in fact consumes a considerable amount of energy and resources from everyone involved). So in that sense it's even worse than Bitcoin (which at least enables money laundering as a form of "utility")
	4:45pm Krys O: oh those Casiotones...
	4:47pm Marie: Hey Josh, neato and interesting. I actually consider myself more of a Shin Buddhist and really like this temple on the upper west side called the New York Buddhist Church. I like their services, which are also online, and the people are really nice.
	4:49pm Marie: @Josh--bTW, i love your profile
	4:49pm Flint_Jack: great show, Olivia
	4:50pm Tank Top: just bought this cassette after hearing it on Joe's show this morning
	4:50pm Phillippe Bastille: sweet lael neale
	4:50pm Stanley: Hi Olivia. I'm enjoying the music. Also enjoying the chat. Hi Phillippe, headcleaner and Handy. I have an addiction susceptibility, so drugs and gambling are a no-no for me.
	🍝 4:51pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @marie Josh Allen is my hero
	4:53pm Yes: Like this one
	4:55pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey Stanley! I worked in a liquor store and mostly ran the lottery machine for a couple years. Got to see the negative effects of two pretty debilitating addictions. Cured my of any desire to gamble; the other one, not so much
	🍝 4:55pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: that lael neale was nice i think Guy Blakeslee produced it...i remember seeing that guy open for Warpaint years ago and thought he was really good, but he never really caught a break.
	4:56pm Phillippe Bastille: *me not my
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: i know someone who never loses playing poker. he only plays occasionally and maybe that (@4.14) is why. he's not heartless. in fact he's a very nurturing kind of person, a gentle chiropractor, a father and dog lover...
	4:57pm JBoogie: hey Olivia hey evryone
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Stanley!
	4:58pm listener james from westwood: I dig the green!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: hey JB . . . i like the green
	4:58pm steveo: i never lose playing poker; at least not since I stopped playing
	🍝 4:59pm adampsyche: this is nothing compared to the violence that Matt Warwick does to our eyes
	4:59pm JBoogie: green is my favorite color.
	4:59pm coelacanth∅: haha steve right i guess i don't either
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: Quitting is a crucial first step when it comes to longer doing something.
	5:00pm Sean from Iowa: This green only makes me think of the Big Black album Songs About Fucking.
	5:01pm Marie: I am at the end of my rope with the pandemic--if things weren't getting better (eg, if Chump had won).... I would be in a bad way. It is like a sprightly, spring green--I am sure this color exists in nature... hey, is this like the color in Irish Spring soap?
	🍝 5:01pm Krys O.: I like this green. What's the RGB or hex #?
	5:01pm listener 126464: 65% mint
	5:02pm JBoogie: i have now made this green my desktop and screensaver. also, ringtone.
	5:02pm coelacanth∅: it's nucleado; it's limey; it's honeydewish; it's grass toward the base of the stem...
	5:02pm JBoogie: def Big Black green
	5:03pm JBoogie: all the colors to you, Olivia
	5:04pm lpfnrobin: Krys O: adff2f
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: it's green starburst
	5:04pm listener 126464: @ Krys- 191/253/91
	5:05pm Stanley: Phillippe - thanks to an incredibly harsh hangover reaction, I never get drunk despite my enjoyment of fermented and distilled beverages.
	5:05pm Marie: This song is like sprightly springy
	5:05pm coelacanth∅: it's songs about fucking external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	🍝 5:06pm nathan: @Krys, it's rgb(173, 255, 47)
	5:06pm Tank Top: This Matt LaJoie was my go to zen album last year round this time when things were insane in NYC
	🍝 5:07pm nathan: apparently it's "greenyellow" in html. i knew there was a reason it's getting under my skin. a mix of my favorite and least favorite colors...
	5:08pm JBoogie: this green is nice because now I know what it's like to have glaucoma.
	5:10pm headcleaner: @stanley - that's my strategy basically - I've come to intensely dislike being hungover, and that state of being "drunk" that inevitably leads to it. Although I enjoy and respect fermented substances.
	5:10pm coelacanth∅: i don't think it's green yellow; i think it's yellow green (green with extra yellow)
	5:15pm steveo: There's a yellow-green in her hair, but it doesn't seem real enough. It seems like she has just been messing with her hair a little. The green on the back of her neck is an unnatural green that doesn't belong with her yellow hair.
	5:16pm JBoogie: it's almost a You Can't Do That On Television Green, but more bodega green
	5:17pm Phillippe Bastille: @stanley I got my lifetime supply out of the way a few decades early. Gotta leave some for others.
	5:17pm Stanley: headcleaner: you have, similarly, reached a true state of wisdom. In fact, I know my limits down to the milliltre. My limit is set at 100 ml of pure alcohol and of a evening of 'debauchery' I often pull out my (wait for it).... calculator to check on my current level. (There is a 20 ml 'extra' allowed if it's been a long eveing and lots of food has been devoured.
	5:17pm coelacanth∅: out of time and out of here Thank you Olivia! later on, limeys
	5:18pm Handy Haversack: Me Bell rented rotary wall phone green. Later, coela!
	5:18pm Phillippe Bastille: later coel!
	5:18pm Stanley: seeya coela
	5:18pm Handy Haversack: *Ma Bell. Sheesh. Ma Bell rented rotary wall phone green.
	5:21pm Stanley: I find the colour a bit too high-vis for me, so I'm wearing sunglasses.
	5:21pm steveo: perhaps she is green because i heard she has the ill communication
	5:23pm βrian: There's wormwood in that background, and it's going to make you crazy.
	5:23pm headcleaner: I'm flattered that you call it "wisdom", Stanley. For it me it was more like banging my head against a wall enough times to finally realize what I was doing to myself
	🍝 5:24pm karlward: Man I want spring to sound like this, 100%
	5:26pm olivia: Agreed, karlward!
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: The sun has cleared my building and is getting the back, so I brought Radio Ravioli and a drink outside and am enjoying both among the birdsong. The sparrows are getting horny. I think the green is working. Thanks, Olivia, for a great afternoon in the sun.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Thanks guys for leaving me all the booze, especially the IPAs.
	5:30pm headcleaner: Oh IPAs are the worst :)
	5:31pm headcleaner: Like eating a box of twinkies
	5:32pm steveo: spontaneous chair dancing
	5:32pm JBoogie: i think i have a mushroom hangover. this green is really helping
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: If the boat Phillippe sells me isn't full of all the gin and whisky he didn't drink, we're gonna have to have a talk! I think I am somehow managing to drink more this past year, but hangovers have become vanishingly rare and pretty much are always my fault (bad mixing, lack of water). I seem to have leveled up again.
	5:36pm steveo: never had a hangover that wasn't my fault :)
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: Well, steveo, sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well ...
	5:39pm peter in SEA: Such a great show for working in the studio on a sunny spring afternoon in the PNW. Thanks Olivia!
	5:39pm headcleaner: What was weird in my more self-destructive years was how much fellow alcoholics would boast of how much they damaged themselves the previous night (as if they would have run a marathon, or otherwise accomplished something)
	🍝 5:40pm diciassette: Hello I am here to vote for Colombian music and and nukular avocados
	5:41pm steveo: i was shopping for cat towers earlier so now the internet is just covered with ads for 6-story multifamily carpeted cat dwellings and i must say i'm into it...
	5:41pm steveo: you mean, like when you wash your mouth out with soap, Handy (???)
	5:42pm Handy Haversack: It's better than putting more quarters in the swear jar: was cutting into my gin and pledging budgets!
	5:42pm peter in SEA: Lime-Rickey is the color
	5:43pm Marie: I just love this song
	5:46pm headcleaner: jo bisso, the lost prophet
	🍝 5:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Olivia
	5:53pm Stanley: Thanks, Olivia, much appreciated. Gotta hit the hay. See ya pals.
	5:54pm eºIºk: @steveo, if you see any especially great bargains, LMK, my cats are shredding their existing tower completely into vacuum-clogging oblivion....
	🍝 5:56pm Krys O.: My cats have shredded their kitty mondo and it's less than a year old. Teamwork!
	5:56pm olivia: thanks everybody! enjoy the day / week !
	🍝 5:56pm Krys O.: Condo not mondo.
	5:58pm listener 126464: Thank you Olivia!
	5:59pm JBoogie: that ending was very Wesley Willis. didn't expect that. Thank you Olivia!
	6:00pm Marie: Thanks Olivia! Chow everybody
	6:03pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Olivia!
	2:46pm MT: The new L'Rain track is nice... @turrelljames would be a cool guest on a future show!

	4:04pm Handy Haversack: I hated calculus. I think partly out of attitude problems. I just wanted to edit the literary magazine and smoke cigarettes. Yet now I need to calculate conic sections all the time, and where have my skills all gone?
	4:04pm Food Caboose: Oh man, me too! Loved diff-eq and all the calc I took in HS and college, but prob and stats kicked my ass.
	4:04pm Phillippe Bastille: hey handy
	🍝 4:04pm karlward: And of course there is "Machine Learning: The High Interest Credit Card of Technical Debt" research.google...
	4:04pm headcleaner: probability and stats are as real as math gets! but they are definitely quite "dry" compared to more geometry-oriented topics (like calculus)
	4:04pm frankiespells: statistics is like weather prediction but more....corporate lol I can't help but pretend I'm a teenage girl in NJ when I'm here...
	4:05pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe!
	4:07pm Mennlinn Rebarts: I just love Okinawan music!!!!
	🍝 4:08pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: learn enough about statistics and probability and you can win money gambling. nuff said
	4:08pm steveo: hi Olivia & raviolios; been listening and liking lots
	4:10pm Marie: Hey, I'm just loving the tunes
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: Or at least realize that you are likely to lose money gambling, BBQB JA! (That said, poker was very good to me Sat. afternoon.)
	4:14pm headcleaner: @buffalo: interestingly, most successful poker players have only limited understanding of (formal) probability theory. And many are basically mathematically illiterate / allergic
	4:15pm eºIºk: If anyone wants to start a WFMU commenter poker Zoom group, I’m in. I’m not very good but I’m enthusiastic. Can we all wear those funny green-shaded hats like on Star Trek: TNG?
	🍝 4:16pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: you'd think that would be where most of your knowledge base would come from - understanding the probability of your hand to win, and understanding the mathematically most efficient bet you could make on that hand
	4:16pm steveo: a book that helped me enjoy calculus is "A Tour of the Calculus" by David Berlinski (1995)
	🍝 4:17pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: although the whole 'bluffing' thing throws a huge wrench into playing probabilities too heavily... unlike blackjack
	4:17pm headcleaner: Rather, they get a lot of mileage out of "reading the room" (knowing their opponents, and their gut instincts as to whether they are bluffing in a given moment). And on lengthy personal data trail on how they handled various corner cases in the game (which are fiendishly complex). But it's much more "muscle memory" -based than math-based.
	4:18pm headcleaner: EIK - "not very good, but enthusiastic" is exactly the kind of opponents successful poker players love to have :)
	4:18pm Handy Haversack: The new big thing in poker is game-theory optimal play, which is basically "if you always do the exact right thing for the specific situation, you'll win! Now memorize the following billion combinations." But I think most successful poker players of the last twenty years have a pretty good knowledge of odds and probability. Certainly, you can make it work more in Limit than No Limit. But then, Limit is boring.
	4:20pm milkis: I’m a simple man. I hear Okinawan music in the radio, I turn it up.
	4:21pm Marie: I am not sure why but i love a lot of japanese music an find their culture very interesting. i think partially because they tend to be animists and thus maybe more spiritually oriented? Like everything is alive
	4:21pm coelacanth∅: ^ with milkis on that
	4:23pm joe mulligan: that PAN compilation is all hits! great show today Olivia
	4:25pm headcleaner: Poker is definitely a fascinating game (mathematically and psychologically). But ultimately a huge, festering rabbit hole (in both senses) and in recent years, has become highly developed and professionalized (such that there's now a very considerable learning curve to catch up just not to get creamed... let alone gain lucrative skills in it)
	4:26pm headcleaner: All things considered, I'd rather devote that energy to other pursuits (like learning Japanese)
	🍝 4:28pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @marie thousands of years of taoist / buddhist / shinto influence will have that effect
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: me too, but some folks make a good living playing poker
	4:29pm Micheal: Love this Star Gazing - thanks, Olivia!
	4:30pm Marie: @Josh--yeah, makes sense. Were those dolphins?
	🍝 4:31pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: hell if i know!
	4:31pm Marie: @Josh--maybe I'l start a taoist/buddhist/shinto movement here in the US of A! I could start in New Jersey
	4:34pm Yes: 😎
	🍝 4:35pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @marie hah. if you are actually interested, there are several authentic zen centers in the NYC area, not so sure about Jersey. i don't know much about taoism and shintoism but i would think those have a bit more of a language and culture barrier. most Zen centers these days tend to be run by (white) Americans.
	4:35pm headcleaner: some folks make good living at poker, but (for that to happen) there hast to be a "silent majority" of players who are at best borderline, and most likely steadily losing slightly. As well as a constant stream of "marks" coming into the game and quickly washing out.
	4:38pm Phillippe Bastille: They say if you sit in on a game and can't figure out who the worst player is it is probably you. Or, in my case, it's always me
	4:41pm headcleaner: There was one famous player who wrote about this a few years ago - something to the effect of how the game became a "black hole" to him once he realized how, in order for him to be raking in all that other dough... scores and scores of other (typically lonely men) were running their lives into the ground
	4:45pm headcleaner: One has to remember that, at the end of the day, the game of poker doesn't create -anything- in the form of tangible wealth of utility (and in fact consumes a considerable amount of energy and resources from everyone involved). So in that sense it's even worse than Bitcoin (which at least enables money laundering as a form of "utility")
	4:45pm Krys O: oh those Casiotones...
	4:47pm Marie: Hey Josh, neato and interesting. I actually consider myself more of a Shin Buddhist and really like this temple on the upper west side called the New York Buddhist Church. I like their services, which are also online, and the people are really nice.
	4:49pm Marie: @Josh--bTW, i love your profile
	4:49pm Flint_Jack: great show, Olivia
	4:50pm Tank Top: just bought this cassette after hearing it on Joe's show this morning
	4:50pm Phillippe Bastille: sweet lael neale
	4:50pm Stanley: Hi Olivia. I'm enjoying the music. Also enjoying the chat. Hi Phillippe, headcleaner and Handy. I have an addiction susceptibility, so drugs and gambling are a no-no for me.
	🍝 4:51pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @marie Josh Allen is my hero
	4:53pm Yes: Like this one
	4:55pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey Stanley! I worked in a liquor store and mostly ran the lottery machine for a couple years. Got to see the negative effects of two pretty debilitating addictions. Cured my of any desire to gamble; the other one, not so much
	🍝 4:55pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: that lael neale was nice i think Guy Blakeslee produced it...i remember seeing that guy open for Warpaint years ago and thought he was really good, but he never really caught a break.
	4:56pm Phillippe Bastille: *me not my
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: i know someone who never loses playing poker. he only plays occasionally and maybe that (@4.14) is why. he's not heartless. in fact he's a very nurturing kind of person, a gentle chiropractor, a father and dog lover...
	4:57pm JBoogie: hey Olivia hey evryone
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Stanley!
	4:58pm listener james from westwood: I dig the green!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: hey JB . . . i like the green
	4:58pm steveo: i never lose playing poker; at least not since I stopped playing
	🍝 4:59pm adampsyche: this is nothing compared to the violence that Matt Warwick does to our eyes
	4:59pm JBoogie: green is my favorite color.
	4:59pm coelacanth∅: haha steve right i guess i don't either
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: Quitting is a crucial first step when it comes to longer doing something.
	5:00pm Sean from Iowa: This green only makes me think of the Big Black album Songs About Fucking.
	5:01pm Marie: I am at the end of my rope with the pandemic--if things weren't getting better (eg, if Chump had won).... I would be in a bad way. It is like a sprightly, spring green--I am sure this color exists in nature... hey, is this like the color in Irish Spring soap?
	🍝 5:01pm Krys O.: I like this green. What's the RGB or hex #?
	5:01pm listener 126464: 65% mint
	5:02pm JBoogie: i have now made this green my desktop and screensaver. also, ringtone.
	5:02pm coelacanth∅: it's nucleado; it's limey; it's honeydewish; it's grass toward the base of the stem...
	5:02pm JBoogie: def Big Black green
	5:03pm JBoogie: all the colors to you, Olivia
	5:04pm lpfnrobin: Krys O: adff2f
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: it's green starburst
	5:04pm listener 126464: @ Krys- 191/253/91
	5:05pm Stanley: Phillippe - thanks to an incredibly harsh hangover reaction, I never get drunk despite my enjoyment of fermented and distilled beverages.
	5:05pm Marie: This song is like sprightly springy
	5:05pm coelacanth∅: it's songs about fucking external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	🍝 5:06pm nathan: @Krys, it's rgb(173, 255, 47)
	5:06pm Tank Top: This Matt LaJoie was my go to zen album last year round this time when things were insane in NYC
	🍝 5:07pm nathan: apparently it's "greenyellow" in html. i knew there was a reason it's getting under my skin. a mix of my favorite and least favorite colors...
	5:08pm JBoogie: this green is nice because now I know what it's like to have glaucoma.
	5:10pm headcleaner: @stanley - that's my strategy basically - I've come to intensely dislike being hungover, and that state of being "drunk" that inevitably leads to it. Although I enjoy and respect fermented substances.
	5:10pm coelacanth∅: i don't think it's green yellow; i think it's yellow green (green with extra yellow)
	5:15pm steveo: There's a yellow-green in her hair, but it doesn't seem real enough. It seems like she has just been messing with her hair a little. The green on the back of her neck is an unnatural green that doesn't belong with her yellow hair.
	5:16pm JBoogie: it's almost a You Can't Do That On Television Green, but more bodega green
	5:17pm Phillippe Bastille: @stanley I got my lifetime supply out of the way a few decades early. Gotta leave some for others.
	5:17pm Stanley: headcleaner: you have, similarly, reached a true state of wisdom. In fact, I know my limits down to the milliltre. My limit is set at 100 ml of pure alcohol and of a evening of 'debauchery' I often pull out my (wait for it).... calculator to check on my current level. (There is a 20 ml 'extra' allowed if it's been a long eveing and lots of food has been devoured.
	5:17pm coelacanth∅: out of time and out of here Thank you Olivia! later on, limeys
	5:18pm Handy Haversack: Me Bell rented rotary wall phone green. Later, coela!
	5:18pm Phillippe Bastille: later coel!
	5:18pm Stanley: seeya coela
	5:18pm Handy Haversack: *Ma Bell. Sheesh. Ma Bell rented rotary wall phone green.
	5:21pm Stanley: I find the colour a bit too high-vis for me, so I'm wearing sunglasses.
	5:21pm steveo: perhaps she is green because i heard she has the ill communication
	5:23pm βrian: There's wormwood in that background, and it's going to make you crazy.
	5:23pm headcleaner: I'm flattered that you call it "wisdom", Stanley. For it me it was more like banging my head against a wall enough times to finally realize what I was doing to myself
	🍝 5:24pm karlward: Man I want spring to sound like this, 100%
	5:26pm olivia: Agreed, karlward!
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: The sun has cleared my building and is getting the back, so I brought Radio Ravioli and a drink outside and am enjoying both among the birdsong. The sparrows are getting horny. I think the green is working. Thanks, Olivia, for a great afternoon in the sun.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Thanks guys for leaving me all the booze, especially the IPAs.
	5:30pm headcleaner: Oh IPAs are the worst :)
	5:31pm headcleaner: Like eating a box of twinkies
	5:32pm steveo: spontaneous chair dancing
	5:32pm JBoogie: i think i have a mushroom hangover. this green is really helping
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: If the boat Phillippe sells me isn't full of all the gin and whisky he didn't drink, we're gonna have to have a talk! I think I am somehow managing to drink more this past year, but hangovers have become vanishingly rare and pretty much are always my fault (bad mixing, lack of water). I seem to have leveled up again.
	5:36pm steveo: never had a hangover that wasn't my fault :)
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: Well, steveo, sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well ...
	5:39pm peter in SEA: Such a great show for working in the studio on a sunny spring afternoon in the PNW. Thanks Olivia!
	5:39pm headcleaner: What was weird in my more self-destructive years was how much fellow alcoholics would boast of how much they damaged themselves the previous night (as if they would have run a marathon, or otherwise accomplished something)
	🍝 5:40pm diciassette: Hello I am here to vote for Colombian music and and nukular avocados
	5:41pm steveo: i was shopping for cat towers earlier so now the internet is just covered with ads for 6-story multifamily carpeted cat dwellings and i must say i'm into it...
	5:41pm steveo: you mean, like when you wash your mouth out with soap, Handy (???)
	5:42pm Handy Haversack: It's better than putting more quarters in the swear jar: was cutting into my gin and pledging budgets!
	5:42pm peter in SEA: Lime-Rickey is the color
	5:43pm Marie: I just love this song
	5:46pm headcleaner: jo bisso, the lost prophet
	🍝 5:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Olivia
	5:53pm Stanley: Thanks, Olivia, much appreciated. Gotta hit the hay. See ya pals.
	5:54pm eºIºk: @steveo, if you see any especially great bargains, LMK, my cats are shredding their existing tower completely into vacuum-clogging oblivion....
	🍝 5:56pm Krys O.: My cats have shredded their kitty mondo and it's less than a year old. Teamwork!
	5:56pm olivia: thanks everybody! enjoy the day / week !
	🍝 5:56pm Krys O.: Condo not mondo.
	5:58pm listener 126464: Thank you Olivia!
	5:59pm JBoogie: that ending was very Wesley Willis. didn't expect that. Thank you Olivia!
	6:00pm Marie: Thanks Olivia! Chow everybody
	6:03pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Olivia!
	2:46pm MT: The new L'Rain track is nice... @turrelljames would be a cool guest on a future show!
