HELLO HELLO! Thank you for tuning in to SECRETS & SPIES special drive show!!! PLEDGE.WPRB.COM !

Woot woot! Hello Lizbot and Readie!

Day is made!

Addie! Hello!

Rofflestomp!! Excellent!

Good evening to you too, Roffle!

Addie & Roffle!!!!

HOMBRE SECRETO!

Hi snow melt Addie

Bienvenidos, Brian D!

Hi all!

how's this for SNEK content, Addie?! SNAKEfinger!

Gorgeous snow-free day here today, roffle!

HISS HISS!!

Hi Brian D for Donor! I looove rolling the "r"s in that song title!

Hi Amy!

@Hi Amy Apledgedly Lee!! Thanks for coming by for secrets & spies!

pledge.wprb.com

@Addie - Nice! I HOPE the sneks are doing a synchronized sneaky dance to this!

We can do it! 10 pledges for DoublePlusGood today!

"This beat is joyful like jailbreaks / The whole world is anti United Snakes" - The Coup

They are swaying suavely!

Addie, are you pro united snakes?

Hi George! haha, awesome lyric! So sneaky and snekky

Gosh, cone of silence people! Top secret channel! No commercials allowed!

Okay, just the true supporters,not the riffraff.

@Addie - Now only top-hats and monocles could improve that swaying snekky image in my head!

Hi Readie- your presence makes it official - it’s party time!

sublime vocals here!

Yes, Amy - you speak the TRUTH!!

haha, a little hot on that segue!

"Petra hatin'" -- Auric Goldfinger

@Rofflestomp@Dough Noir - I got my tin foil hat on. The cone of truth,

@George - har! Petra was not hatin' on Shirley Bassey with that a-capella cover! au contraire!

I needed to hear the FALL rn!

George! Hippest guy! How is the venturing sir?

@Readie - no WPRB without The Fall!

Hey George! great to see you!

hi lizbot & readie!

Great playlist so far! Let’s go Readie and Lizbot!!

Hi Andrew!

*furtively looks over shoulder, “we have to find out who’s been talking. And then maybe have some cannolis”

Hi Andrew Gary's Got a Donor!!

Esoterica!

Thanks, Esoterica! Glad you're here!

Secretly, throughout the world, there are battles taking place. These conflicts are between vast and powerful organizations. Innocents, like the President of the United States and the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, are simply not aware of their positions as pawns in these great underworld battles.

ESO-T! glad you are HERE!!

@George - I am imagining battles under the earth between hoards of insects vying for planet domination.

CHUD

Sure thing! This community is powerful.

@Readie - Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground DJs!!!

YOU GOT IT LIZBOT!

@Esoterica - Feeling the love! Wish I could've gone into yr show's chat today!

In this kind of battle only two kinds of warriors can have an effect. Martial artists (including ninjas) who tap into mystic powers, and secret agents equipped with all manner of super-scientific apparatus. The global conflict is the setting for Ninjas & Superspies.

@Esoterica - I heard you and dana had a great time!

It was an Epic show!

We had fun! It was goofiness all around. Taking a page of readie’s book and sang!

When it comes to the game of international espionage, the most powerful advantage isn’t a gun, a car, or even a cybernetic implant. It’s the character’s agency.

@George, they are all irrelevant in terms of the almighty dollar. Give it it another hundred years. Matters not. They will still be the only money changes to lend you money to buy a house for 30 years with interest.

Agencies come in all sizes, ranging from the one-man outfit over the corner laundromat to worldwide organizations of international importance.

@George Korein - oooooooh, NOW I know to what you refer! If any of you hippos can't handle this ninja stuff...[Several hippo left the room]

@Esoterica - Glad to hear it! I wish I'd heard the singing!

Dana K & ESO-T did a duet - Proud of you 2!

@George - Don't make me play Where In the World Is Carmen SanDiego next!!

@Readie, that was a fun show.

[those hippos were wise and knew themselves]

Indeed, Roffle!

Hypnotizing George!.

Greetings all, I can't miss this party!

The camera eyeball can focus, adjust, and “snap” pictures with the muscles around the eyesocket.

Hey Number 6, Of COURSE YOU had to be here!

Greetings, Number 6...Oooooh, do I have something for YOU in a little bit!....Get your penny-farthing at the ready

Oh goody!

The statues have roving eyes.

ormally the eyeball is fitted to handle 48 exposures before reloading. Requires special film ($40 per roll), but, in a pinch, it’s possible to cut normal 35mm film down to the right size. It’s a good imitation of a normal eye, passing even a close inspection 95% of the time.

I love that I change hands to get to #6! Apropos.

@Rofflestomp - ready your oversized chess pieces

The retinal image eyeball is designed for one and only one purpose: to get around retinal camera security devices.

A “foolproof” way of checking identities is to photograph a person’s retina. A person’s retina is just as unique as a finger print and far more difficult to fake. Of course, with this eyeball attachment, fooling the retina camera is simple.

Thanks, Readie!

Oh My Gosh. Digital is so much cheaper and less time consuming than a dark room!

Sounds like we have some eyeballs to….borrow.

In addition, the character can use the eyeball to photograph the retina of any other cooperative, captured, or unconscious character. Just pop out the eyeball, put it in front of the other character’s eye, “snap” the image, and pop it back in. The eye is set up to “remember” 24 different retina patterns. The eyeball looks real, fooling careful observers 96% of the time.

@Lizbot, My bigger chess pieces are just a psychological ploy.

Rover will get any chess pieces that don't comply.

Marvin is my hero!

The container system eyeball is a general purpose hiding place with only one “control”.

It can open up the iris to release its content.

Can be used to hold powders, liquids, gas, or any relatively small object.

Readie!

Removed from the socket, it can be opened by unscrewing along the orb’s equator.

My first wprb was done tonik Thurs nights. I was scanning and I heard punk rock. Holy cow!

It’s fairly realistic, fooling people about 75% of the time.

sugar!!!!!!

Removed from the socket it a 180 degree roll

Who needs dopamine when you have Lizbot?

Auntie Penultimate. Uncle Secondtolast.

Yes, Bri!

Hello Rob!

Not the last thing ever. All good.

Here's to Don Tonik!!!!

Hi Sugar Sidious! Don Tonic was on right after me in the old studio! He used to always have Desmond Dekker songs on hand

Oh, it's me Tyler B I got a new name during Mike lupecias shoe

Hi Rob Pullan - Haha, thank you!

OK! Sugar Tee BEE

@Rofflestomp@DOUGH nOir - Marvin and his many many cats rules!

Ohhhh that's so sweet! My friends and I would gather around the radio in the porch to hear his show and Chester's

Cousin First. (In Spanish, literally)

@George - You're reminding me of the bond movie with the eye scanner and Kim Basinger playing Bond girl "Domino"...I think Never Say Never Again , the remake of Thunderball. Freaky eyescan tech in it freaked me out as a kid

Totally WIRED

I must have caught your show beforehand a few times because I fondly remember hearing Laurie Anderson for the first time before dons show and it dawning on me: "oh, this is like, an actually cool radio station"

@Brian D for Donor - haha, Step-Niece Thrice-Removed Last Place

I had never heard Laurie Anderson before, I think it was "only an expert" someone had played

@Sugar Sidious - Hi Tyler B!! Lupecias!

I 'member that one off Connery return in early 80s. Barbara Carrera as the evil love / hate interest.

Hahahah Chester spoke only in caps lock

haha, WHOOPS!

Augustus GLWoops

Hi Liz and Patty Butter Frizzle Readie!

Hi Ossy!!!

Lol that was a special treat!

@Sugar Sidious - CHESTER SPOKE IN E R G DRINK & FALL SONGS!

You know it, Sugar!

That pledge drive when Chester got the goal and Jon S shaved his head!

Hahaha the energy drinks. We were a twi faction listening group and I was team Don tonight all day

Aw man that sounds so fun!

Hi all! Die spies!

@Sugar Sidious / Tyler B - It was ++good then Don Tonic, then Chester for a few seasons. I was there when Chester shaved part of his head on air during ye olde drive of yesteryear

Hi Dennnissons!

Yes Lizbot- we were on the phone bank that night, right??? And I had his mom on the phone at the time!!!!

@Dennnisons - I look forward to The Lost Boys MVM episode tonight or tomorrow! I only JUST recently saw it and THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. it is RIDICULOUS!

@Lizbot I have only a few Fakebookers that I follow. Marvin has been there with his cats for over a decade. I just have so much respect. I even went to his Venti Dita with Jennifer Castellano back in the day. Jennifer is hysterical. What a brain!

GET READY NUMBER 6! Hop on yr penny farthing!

Omg I feel so stupid for avoiding it. Lost Boys is so fun!

I am not a number, I am a free agent!

NUMBA 6!

INFORMATIONNNNN

Hey Lizbot & Readie!!

Latex on the way!

Hey Christine!

@Brian D - "Augustus GLWoops"- ha!

You are, Number 6!

Who does numba 2 work for?????

That would be telling!

I would be a time travel guinea pig for the chance to hear some of those old shows

@Sugar Sidious / Tyler B - Nice! I LOVE Laurie Anderson, and yeah, sounds like that was on my show if before Don. She is awesome live as well. She came to our studio while teaching in town!

—————O (ball coming for you, number 6!)

Hi Christine!!! WATCH OUT! ROVER is upon you!

Mission Impossible was one of my fav shows back in the day.

@Dennnisons - For real! The entire reason I avoided it for years was because someone told me about that rice/bug scene and it skeeved me out enough to avoid it for decades! I love their silly cave hideout!

@Number 6 - I'm glad you were tuned in for that!

Mine as well, #6

AAAAIIIIIIIIIGHHHHH!!!! 🫧 Rover!!!

GMTA.

*glub glub glub*

@Ossy - Patty Butter Frizzle Readie operated by Lizbotics!

@lizbot I cheered when the Corey’s met! It felt like 3 fun movies in one!

@Ossy - Or maybe Patty Butter Frizzle is Lizbot's secret fuel?!

At night time there will be black and brown rovers, you won't see them until it's too late!

I’m filling out a report at work right now and almost signed it Dennnisons.

Is Ossy in the house?? I don't see you smooooth butter Os?!

@Brian D - Never Say Never Again AND Thunderball were both kinda weak, but the OLD Connery bit was mildly funny. The main scene I remember is him flipping samples of his own old man urine at a henchman in the beginning of the movie when the Brit Secret Service makes him go to that spa or whatever!

Lol. @Dennisons - a mystery for them to solve!

I see you Readiejackson, with a flashlight bright like Patty's crystal clean white teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Christine! ❤️

OSSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smoothly in the house!

Secret Service, the guys with the big guns or are the just glad to see ya.

@Denissons- Sign it "Resigned"!

@Number 6 - Oh NO! I have never ethought of dark rovers!

Hello Lizbot & Readie Righteous!

I was listening in the car. Loving the show.

Hi Stevie!!! Welcome to the party!

btw, that guy, number 6? nah, he's not a man. he's a number, number 6.

Golden records hunt like the Midas Touch by Midnight Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Just letting you all know that I've been to The Village and run around pretending to be chased by Rovers .....

KABLAM

And for those who don't know, The Village is where Number 6 woke up after being gassed and the rest is history .....

@Rob... how much fun would it be to take a bunch of weather balloons there?

I was at the Spy Museum awhile ago, pretty cool place.

@ Stevie. I'm guessing that people have done that. It's a readily accessible place and it still looks like it did in the 60s series.

❤️💛💚 totally! https://www.google.com/search?q=+totally+spies&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjRnp_eh8v-AhWvJGIAHcIiCFMQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=+totally+spies&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIHCAAQigUQQzILCAAQgAQQsQMQgwEyBwgAEIoFEEMyCAgAEIAEELEDMggIABCABBCxAzIECAAQAzILCAAQgAQQsQMQgwEyBwgAEIoFEEMyBwgAEIoFEEMyBQgAEIAEUABYAGDbAWgAcAB4AIABX4gBX5IBATGYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=ePBKZNGCE6_JiLMPwsWgmAU&bih=817&biw=987

It's 6 of 1 PM.

LIZBOT AAAND READIE?!????? BAAAAAM!!!!!

skeeBAMM!!

SLUGGO

@ Number 6. You should check out the "Secret Bunker" near to Jodrell Bank observatory.

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️📻

Chef is here BAMALAM!! Thank you, CHEF!

THANK YOU CHEF! BAM-a-LAM (mmm, tangy)

Hi Stevie mo-do pledge!!

@Number 6 - whoa! WHERE was the aforementioned spy museum???!

In DC they have a CIA Spy Museum, but you need security clearance to get into that one.

@Number 6 - I love oddball museums like that!

Wash DC!

Chef makes a burger do tricks!

Number 6 played the Nightcrawlers earlier today (?). I'm a convert.

@Rob Pullen - "Secret Bunker", you say?

The Nightcrawlers go back to the 80s some time.

It used to be secret but now there is a big brown historically info sign posting to it.

THanks, Stevie! I love the idea of traveling by weather balloon, in practice I know it has proven deadly. Imagine floating up tethered to a buncha Rovers from The Prisoner!

https://www.spymuseum.org/

@ Number 6. I think that's what got me into the track. I then had to google the heck out of them and find everything I could by them.

Spy, spy on you... Spy, spy on you (to the tune of dayenu)

@Dennnisons - I love bunch the young kid crime-solving gang and the moody teen vampires in that movie, with their cooooool motorcycling on the beach at night waysss...the ONLY person I kinda feel bad for is the mom. Man, she gets a raw deal!

Double agent? What about... a *triple agent*???

There was a movie that came out a long time ago called "Triple Cross".

@George - triple creme camembert électrique! Prog spies

@Number 6 - thanks! Roadtrip!

So... triple (agent, cross)... it all comes back to A-OK in the end?

If you don't play spymaster (Jerry's kids or la peste version) then i will!!!

sort of like swappping the poison (wine, tea) when the other person isn't looking?

@George - If he had brought us all the spies....Dayenu, it would have been enough!

HI Commie!!

three times lucky

Hi Liz!!

@Lizbot- I was thinking Roadtrip!! (Great minds...)

Commie!

There's a reggae song named I Spy by Lila Ike 🧡

@Commie Francis - Prob won't have time for half the songs I got at the ready, and no time to dig that one up during drive show most likely, but good suggestion!

@Ossy - Nice! There will be, if I have time to fit it in, at least one reggae/ska spy song!

@Stevie mo-do p-ledge - or that ninja move that never seems to work out in any movie that uses it where a spy drips poison down a string into a sleeping person's mouth, but they always turn their head at the last second!

@liz sorry stepped away from the chat, yeah, female characters did not seem to be a concern of Schumaker in that film.

And the Totally Spies theme song, if any is familiar with that throwback Kim Possible like cartoon!

@COmmie - Belfast Gypsies are coming up! I seem to recall you talking them up before!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjas_%26_Superspies

Johnny Rivers- Secret Agent Man would be a good one.

@Dennnisons - I guess being a mom I related more to the Diane Wiest character than I would have as a kid, for sure, but man, can't she just catch a break! Can't she just meet a nice dude and not be a pawn for a buncha lousy teens?!

FEELIES FOREVER! RIGHTFULLY should've WON last night! DOZE the dozer!

Yes Feelies!!

haha, I knew Killdozer would wins Jon's showdown, but man, I gotta rep for jersey!

@Liz... yeah, the baddies waste tons of perfectly good poison with the thread trick

Killdozer’s cover of Janet Jackson’s Nasty I think swayed the masses.

@Number 6 - I do love his version, but I got a few covers on hand for tonight

I missed it but when I saw the title in recent playlists, I knew it had to be Killdozer.

@Amy - YUP, I mean they def win in the audacity department! but I can't forgive them for that Unbelievable cover!

Defeat Skynet too.

For me it’s always the Feelies.

KILLDOZER

TEAM DOZER 💥💥💥

Today is the anniversary of the furnace party in philly

Do Attend

Hi Kris

Hi Krista!! OMG! THAT was in my old neighborhood of Fairmount!

Hi Ossy. I don't have my voice back entirely yet but I can lie on my bed and listen to lizbot's show

Hey Lizbot!!

Hi Krista!!!!

@Krista - George & I still quote that mystery flyer! I love that the guy DID attend, as did a ton of other people! That filled my heart with Philly love!

Hi Stephen!!! I WISH I'd had a moment to tell you - I listened to and love your new single!

HI jimboodonoroo!!! Haha, you make a compelling case!

Yes, so do Matt and I. The anniversary party is going on this year, too, I believe. All the food that you've eaten since sixth grade

Pushing bike ride time. Have a lovely night all.

Jimboodonoroo!!!!

@Number 6 - T2 scarred me, but I still love that movie regardless. the playground scene is forever seared into my brain like so many melting skeletons

YAYYY thank you!! I just got the CD album in the mail yesterday. I'll hit you up for your shipping address on FB and send you a slew.

Hi Readie!

Krista - Great to hear, take it easy back, so you can feel better soon!

@Rofflestomp@Dough Noir - Thank you so much! Have a great bike ride!

@Krista - oh my god that is awesome! I love that they're still doing it!

Cheer Trick!

Gosh, gotta hang out now for the prog section. Thanks LizBot!

Any covers of Hall & Oates Private Eyes?

@Stephen Bluhm - Amazing! I cannot wait! You have been working on it so hard for so long! Did you emit squeaks or smile ear to ear when you first held the album in yr hand??

@Brian D - Cheap Accident! Better than a cheap accident, which is not a very nice thing for my birds to experience!

They Might Be Giants "(She Was a) Hotel Detective"

@Number 6 - Good idea, and I'm sure there are some, but I didn't get to that. I have the original here but prob won't fit it in tonight

Cheep accident!

@Brian D - I have that standing by, if I don't run outta time!

THIS BRIDGE IS MADNESS

So much great music, so little time!

It's about to resolve itself...

to quote Chef Emeril: BAAAAM!

Sounds similar to fire themed boss music in Zelda Ocarina of Time 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Indeed, I am doning my jacket.

whew!

The bellhop is funky! The dumb waiter's a monkey!... why don'tcha . Check her out... my little Hotel Detective!

I reference Terminator & T2 almost daily (& how us humans have learned nothing!). That being said, Terminator is a great love story.

Any interesting covers of Bette Davis Eyes?

Devo does good covers.

I never heard this cover. I'm diggin it!

@Ossy - I have GOT to listen to more of that Ocarina of Time soundtrack! You have compared it to a lot of good music! I was in Pittsburgh last summer visiting a friend and happened to be there during the annual furry convention and a dude was playing an ocarina by the waterfront near the convention center and said he started playing ocarina cuz of Zelda!

@Number 6 - Truth

@Roffle... one more thing... where do you ride? I'm a SRT bum

Roff musta left the building

burma!

@Stevie - Love the metallic crescendos in the background of Devo's cover

@ANdrew - Yes! LOVE them! Saw them in Coney Island at Siren Fest nearly 20 years ago!

just got to fishtown to see fcked up play at johnny brenda's. thanks for making 95 south tolerable!

i saw MOB at the first unitarian church in 2008 and it was bangin!

@Andrew Gary's Got a Donor - Happy to be of service!!

@Andrew - Nice! MOB is so good live!

Bonsoir, WPRB! ResidentFrenchie here. Lisbot and Readie Righteous - la musique est trop cool ce soir! Let me know if you're playing any French songs and need help with the pronunciation.

@Stevie - Roffle had to get on their bike and RIDE (in the words of Freddie Mercury)

Je kiffe (J'adore) Patty Hearst de Stereo Total!

Hi ResidentFrenchie!! Will do! Merci!

Hi Frenchie! Bienvenue!

Lizbot, hahaha actually i almost feel like the hardest part is in front of me. trying to figure out a proper release plan while i wait for the vinyl to come back. i know there's a big audience for the music out there. wish i could find a manager

@Liz... I'm always looking for cyclists to do rides from Conshohocken out to Audubon and back on the Schuylkill River Trail, my normal after work ride

Spy vs Spy makes me think of the John Zorn Ornette Coleman album but that prob doesn't fit in this show.

Liz - Nice nice, Liz! Zelda does have countless lovely songs. Bani Bop's Bani played some Zelda songs on her show, as well Milky Way!

Readie, a Bebe Neuwirth mother, Liz!

as they say in france... wee wee

@ Liz…long hours at work..loved that Hombre Secreto led off the show!!

Espionne russe ("Russian Spy") de Joseph Edgar = de la classe

Bonjour- Luminere the Candle voice 💛☀️🔥🕯

Ring tone quality ya

TAKE A LOOK AT THESE CLAMPS

Speaking of ringtones, today I saw a video of a cat playing the iphone ringtone. I did not know a cat was behind that ubiquitous ringtone

@Brian D - I need to start one of those ringtone companies where ppl pay me for chipper tap-bell tones!

Hi Stephen & Carlos!

I would like to announce that in honor of the 📻 cat shirt and in response to my fleeting whim, there now exists cat.wprb.com

Visit today!

Thanks to Jon Solomon for spending his precious time on this

@Ossy - aha, you quite effectively put Jerry Orbach doing a French accent in my head!

@Commie Francis - WHOA

Don't forget #wprbpets #wprbcats

@Commie--OHHHH my rods and cones are fired UP!

Hi Carlos!!! I was just going on mic when you popped into the chat, but I see you!

@Carlos - Love that Plugz version!

*looks at these hands.. waits for further instruction

@jimboodonoroo - get yr #wprbpets! and make 'em dance!

Liz - LOOOOOL. Speaking of him, seen the ABC Beauty and Beast play in December 2022? Paige O Hara made a cameo as a villager!

@Brian D - Looks at these clamps...wishes they could play bass like that!

@Stevie - hmmmm, industrious kitty!

everybody look atcher clamps!

@Stephen - oh man, I bet that's daunting!

Mentioned b4 in chat but there was brief period back 20 years ago when David Lynch was selling crazy ring tones. One was him yelling "GREAT JUMPING GEORGE! "over n over

Thank you, ResidentFrenchie for your French tutelage and your pledge!

Play bass with vice grips ! Me'(t)l. With Halford-esque glott'l stop

IT ISN'T ME WHO'S GONNA LEAVE!

PYOW!

Liz have you ever seen the video of Russ doing this at karaoke?

I found a site that has real bird calls. I downloaded a bunch of them and use them as ringtones.

Stevie, what site is that?

And, this town isn't big enough for both of us!

Hi Rob from DonorMaryland!

Well, hey there, Rob!

I love talking back to the birds. Get some ok imitations here & there. Fun to try

@COmmie - OH MY GOD, WHAT?! NO! I NEED SEE THAT THE MOMENT I GET OFF AIR

Hi Readie and Lizbot!

@Brian D for Donor - no, don't Glottal stop, put us over the top!

@Rob... I forget. Just google bird calls.

@Brian D - JK, I know you already have!

I love when I imitate a Barred Owl and it calls right back

@Brian D - My birds love talking back to me

Thanks, stevie!

It sounds like she's saying I'm no manaateeeee

@Rob from DonorMaryland - I got a screech owl living behind my shed!

The only downside is... when you're outside and a bluejay, for example, caws, and that's your ringtone

@Lizbot- did you see the NYT article where the parrots were calling each other on iPads?

I've been faked out by nature more than once

I love making ring tones in Audacity... did some good ones years back. But i never get calls ha except for 3 people maybe once in a while. So they become notification tones. But then again i always turn my notifications volume off... then i use them for alarm tones... then i just turn off the.....

I rarely get calls. And when I do, I ignore them unless I'm expecting them or they're from a family member

So I use bird calls for my alarms.

Wood Thrush is the most annoying, so I use it for my last-chance-saloon wake up alarm

I always think of the power couple of Jane Wiedlin and Russell Mael dating when I hear this song1

Can somebody please mix in the fat Albert HEY HEY HEY into this song?

@Carlos - ha!

that's my code!

I’m glad my neighbors don’t think like me. If I saw my neighbor outside birdwatching as often as I do, I’d start playing non-resident bird calls to mess with them.

Amy.

@Lizbot, how cool. Maybe it will keep the catbird away!

Hey everyone! Hey Lizbot! So glad I got to hear some of the show tonight. I for home from my son's soccer tryouts just in time to catch some of the show!

Aw, Wood Thrush songs are nice, imho

Hi Parrscream!!!

Wrens never cease to amaze me. So loud for such a small bird.

@Rob - I hope so! I haven't seen that little dude yet!

@Rob, the wood thrush call I have on my phone is "compelling" at 530 in the morning

I agree, Amy, that wrens are Really Loud

@stevie, it would be quite compelling at 530! Especially outside my window

@Parrscream - I'm so glad you got a chance to tune in!

Glad you made it, Parrscream!

beeps and boops galore!

@lizbot - ME TOO! Usually I am home on Thursdays listening in my garage but the town scheduled travel soccer tryouts tonight so I was dreaming of what songs I was missing on DoublePlusGood while I was out on the fields. :'-)

Hi Readie! Thanks so much!

@Stevie - Birdsong is maybe one of the only alarms I can't get angry at!

11 pledges!

Just 4 more!

@Liz... I love em.

@Parrscream - Out there in the fields, dreaming of WPRB! I'm glad you made it in time! Good luck to yr son on his tryouts!

Thanks Lizbot! <3

Just need 2 more!

@Readie - !!! WE CAN DO IT, FOLKS!

Petra!

@Liz & Rob: I used to use the Tui birdsong to wake up. I might go back to that one

@Stevie - Bird calls straight up lower my stress! I can't imagine life without em!

haha, I guess Rockwell WOULD be worried about the IRS!

Thank you Rob!

HEE HEE

Rescue farm down the road adopted some peacocks last year. They built a nice partially tarp covered fenced-in area for them. For the first week the main cry sounded like "LEMME OUT! LEMMEE OUT! " Then they acclimated.

Synthesis me like Space Lady

I heard some peacocks once. Yikes!

When I lived in manayunk, one of my neighbors had chickens. Roosters start crowing not at sunrise... but at about 330 AM

@Ossy - ALWAYS & FOREVER! Space Lady is a goddess!

Love Space Lady!

Their other call was not far off from the Bob Wills Western Swing "Ahh-Haaa" exclamation

Hidden Cameras!

@Brian D - oh man, they have some weird calls. I love watching the males shake out their tail feathers, esp when they first start shaking! Looks so silly!

Liz and Readie - Took a walk on a silver chilly day, one time, while playing Space Lady!!

Also goddess like Blossom Dearie 🌸

One more!!! We have our penultimate pledge!

That pearlescent rainbow oiled feather color they have when the bright sunlight hits it

Who will be our goal-making pledger????? It's a mystery!!!!

@Ossy - Got in one reggae/ska Spy Vs Spy of many!

@Readie - I WILL TAP THOSE BELLS SO FRIGGIN HARD! come on FIFTEEN!

RING DEM BELLS!!!!

WE DID IT!

Has Selecta Jerry magically appeared in the studio? (In an appropriate cloud of DUB vapor)

Sound the alarm, ring the alarm - Tenor Saw!!!!

@Oss... I heart Blossom Dearie

Airhorn !!

Glad to see my request/suggestion of DEVO’s version/rewrite of PJ Privy’s Secret Agent Man made the list!

Wesley!!

@stevie, the Tui's song is quite varied

Great show y'all ! Way to go DJs & pledgers!

Thanks Brian D!

Peacocks, on the other hand ...

Thanks, Brian D!

Super duper spytastic show!

@Wesley - Naturally! I couldn't not play DEVO!

Thanks Stevie!!

@Lizbot, thanks for the show tonight! We both enjoyed it a lot.

Philadelphia trivia- this John Barry piece was used for the closing music for I believe it was Channel 6’s tv news. Perhaps before the “Move Closer To Your World” music?

We are all Greg and the Greg is within us and the airwaves sparkle with our WPRB mindmelds.

Great show, the MSD shows good numbers all the way.

@Rob - Thank you! And I will let you know if that catbird shows his face!

Stay fiery butter frizzle, Readie like Mario's Superstar ex girlfriend, Pauline ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥🔥❤🔥❤https://media.tenor.com/ORls8FPD17sAAAAC/super-mario-mario.gif

@Jimboodonoroo - Feel the Gregness!

Thanks Number 6!!

@Wesley - oh whoa! Really?!

That's Awesome, Ossy! Thanks!!

P.J. Privy?! Really, Autocorrect? (It’s P.J. Proby)

Stevie - Blossom Dearie, truly an angelic soul like Minnie Riperton, Teena Marie and Deniece Williams!

@Wesley - no selecta yet!

@Lizbot - ask your parents. I’m closer to their age than yours.

I hope that the catbird goes somewhere else this summer, Lizbot!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! NEXT WEEK DOUBLEPLUSGOOD WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY 5-8 FOR ONE WEEK ONLY!

Os, Always True To You by Blossom Dearie is one of my all time favorite tunes
