The Barge has launched!

woot! hey bri!

so excited to bring my lp cart to that space and get cookin'!

Hi there

Of course there are two pages for the show and I was refreshing the Other one 🤡

wot a looser!

Hi, DJ Esoterica! 🎉

Hi, Mr. M!

hehe i did the same thing for about a half hour

weird i only opened one playlist

I swear the System opens one too ugh

I opened a couple myself, just for fun

hey Esoterica

This one is the Current Playlist so it’s all good 👍

what!? i will try to close. hi dsm!

fight The System!

Don’t bother, DJ Esoterica. Everything is fine

Diggin' this track!

Mornin everyone

goodo! mr. m

Afternoon*

yeah, me, too, pup! hey thx for playing silver jews

good mronin

I'm at The Barge right now, in fact!

morning!

fantastic, jon!

happy passover!

Thank you. A little more data entry and I'm done for the day...

perfect

hey stevie p! how'd you sneak in here? lol

Psst... bookmark this link and hit refresh after a minute or 2 when a new show starts: https://playlists.wprb.com/WPRB/?layout=1

give a data, take a data

thx, bri, for the tip!

Calendar grid method of getting to a show playlist is a coin toss that often works but..

You can also just type or bookmark: wprb.com/chat (that reverts to the above .. layout=1 url etc)

on the app still shows silver jews

Looking forward to The Barge days ahead

for me, or i may be doing something wrong;)

oh me, too, pup!

Hello Nurse!

seeing my buds, too, more room for collab

haha, mr. m!

Goodbye Delayed Reaction

There is an issue with the player not pulling songs in as timely a fashion as it has. I've opened a ticket and it should be solved soon.

Yeah radio re think app stuck on Silver Jews for hours...

what, so dj pup didn't play??

ha!

Esoterica, play the Silver Jews and see if you can un-stuck it!

haha dsm!

Yeah I didn't play that haha

DRY CLEANING❣️

I thought my browser was just being funky, but I guess it was a larger issue

Other stream sites show the Dry Cleaning - Swampy correct up to date data (even a few seconds before track started)

ok, cool, bri, i will proceed accordingly

Main wprb.com site shows up to moment data

sweet, yeah i am monitoring that

refreshing, ha dry cleaning just said

I think Krista played that SJ track

oh yeah loved her toad discussion

i wonder if she recited those fun frog and toad books?

Frog and Toad! Big fan. Huge part of childhood. Comfort books

Love Busse Woods! Always play this album in the early Summer on a long drive

love those books, great humor. you know i may order for my nieces

wow, we are sliding into that summer road trip vibe, great idea, dsm!

Do you pronounce busse boose or bus?

heavy :) :)

afternoons everybodies

yo chris! yo, guelo! good afternoon!

good and heavy

I think it's pronounced throat warbler mangrove

Gouda and chevre-y

nice, gouda idea, bri lol

yum chevre

hmm, not sure the actual correct pronunciation, I've always said it Boose like loose

i just ate a salad with feta, toasted pecans, spring mix, feta, shaved broccoli, yum

cool, dsm, thx

oh I just googled the pronunciation tho, apparently it's said like Bus

That was CRAZY

Laugh out loud at start of each mic break. Thanks.

thanks, mr. m!

sure, i will change up the laugh to a giggle, guffaw, and something high pitched to keep you on your toes lol

Ha! Excellent!

Always good to let new people interested in joining the chat know there is a black gear ⚙️ in which to click on to change username from their Facebook or Google names. Even if only to remove the last name.

Same name

Salt and vinegar, also a big fan of the voodoo chips at wawa

Should we call you… Chris McMustache???

yup, for sure chris

I'm in disguise.

his show

the wobbly record sound for his mic breaks

Yes! Get him to sub for you when necessary!

love him!

i think he works, dang work!

Someone take a day off Right Now! 🤠

Well, he needs a day off too!

I’ll call his boss ☎️

Zapp's brand chips from Louisiana! (orig, Utz bought em out). Voodoo, Cajun Craw-Tators, Hotter-n-Hot Jalapeño, Evil Eye, Bourbon Street Smokey Sweet and other flavors!
