Good morning! Let's start a vegetable revolution!

Mornin' Dan! Nice couple openers.

I vote for sea cucumbers!

Hey Bo! That would certainly make for a fascinating revolution

Nice. Clean. Nice

Great stuff here! Television!

Maybe my favorite Television song? It's just kind of perfect in every way

Agree and concur.

stream cut out to funk

Oh crap music!

Actually good ol fm cut out to funk that is

Back on ok

Yer back!

Off again... funk music

😖

Looks like the stream might be down?

Looks like we're having an internet problem at the transmitter. Sorry y'all

I'll keep you posted on what's going on as soon as I know more

On the horn with our engineer right now,

Update: Unknown internet conectivity issue at the transmitter. Engineer is calling Comcast, I'm heading out to the Xmitter now to at least get Doom Funk off the air. Dan, I'll be driving so won''t be able to update the chat, but I'll text you with any relevant updates. Be on standby in case things come back by themselves. Sorry about this, everyone.

Thanks, Mike!

I've always wondered, how does this affect the rebroadcast of your show?

Good question! In this case, I think it's probably gonna nuke it, but I think we'll worry about that once we get signal going again

I'm still technically playing music for myself, but I don't think it makes any sense to rebroadcast me saying "can you hear me?" a bunch of times to the void

I mean it's at like 2am right? Could still be fun

Whoa, I think I"m back?

Are you hearing funky drummer or saxophones and moaning?

Yup, I hear you in the stream

the latter

Back on FM now!

🐷🐷🐷🐷🐽🐽🐽

This record is so good

Ha the funk drum fill fit right in there

Probably actually kinda worked?

A blip ...

Persistent blip at that.... on off on as Burma said . All good

Funk again....

Sigh

I'm blaming Comcast for today

It's definitely on them!

I don't love Verizon, but my job and my house have both had a lot less issues with them than Comcast

Hey folks, I'm at the chat but can't hear PRB in here. Are we still getting Doom Funk?

[chat=transmitter shack]

Sorry, yes -- at the shack. Dan, are you connected?

Still getting errors

OK -- I'm gonna try putting something else on while we work on this. Stand by.

This will only work on FM, not the streams, but one thing at a time...

Still funk

On fm that is

Stand by. Dan may be coming back momentarily.

OK, should be a different set of drums

Yup! Bells n whistles

Fm is Dan now

You are back!

Folks, as we work on these problems, know that Dan Buskirk's show should be consistently fine on FM. Streams may be another story.

Thanks for bearing with us as we sort all these weird connectivity problems out. The internet is amazing, but also annoying as hell

Thanks all! Mingus sounding great

Hello from the transmitter! https://flic.kr/p/2ohVKNg
