Well, I didn't expect this show to air again, but CJ needed an emergency fill-in so here we are.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 3:08:14 PM
So we get to hear Joe Frank + the Glenn Miller Singers again.
Rofflestomp 3:08:50 PM
A door closes, another opens for sure.
Mike Lupica (host) 3:09:10 PM
Yes, in about two hours and 45 minutes!
Rofflestomp 3:09:44 PM
Replays are solid history.
Mike Lupica (host) 3:11:58 PM
Re-inspection reveals all the tics and moles.
Rofflestomp 3:13:38 PM
ǝʌɐꓷ, I just want your alarm clock secrets!
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 3:14:43 PM
I'm not understanding. what secrets?
Rofflestomp 3:17:34 PM
Oh, you know, you AM warrior! You catch the cool stuff. Spill dude... JK
Mike Lupica (host) 3:19:05 PM
Like we say in my house, DTO gets America to work on time.
Rofflestomp 3:21:16 PM
Seriously, when I hear OTD, I do wake up once I know he is on. Fridays are a great morning to be alive.
Rofflestomp 3:22:27 PM
For those that have ears and all that...
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 3:26:20 PM
Thanks, Rofflestomp. It's good to hear positive feedback
Rofflestomp 3:28:39 PM
Fuck man, I have sniped so many tunes from your show it's insane. I love my playlist from WPRB! Thanks for positive quality of life enrichment all the way!
Rofflestomp 3:31:04 PM
You too Mike. Fucking quality! Just thanks.
Rofflestomp 3:32:09 PM
Sorry for the foul mouth kids.
Mike Lupica (host) 3:32:13 PM
Thanks Rofflestomp. I was a late-blooming C student.
Rofflestomp 3:34:03 PM
Oh my goodness, a C student is the one who buys a wing for the University!.
Rofflestomp 3:35:59 PM
YOU have done this dude! IMHO!
Ambrose Hughes 3:38:55 PM
Yo Mike on a Saturday?! Guess CJ's train derailed, hope he's OK.
Rofflestomp 3:39:05 PM
Teardrop Explodes, so Prince Rupert's drop!
Mike Lupica (host) 3:40:38 PM
Hey Ambrose, it's a re-up of Wednesday's show. Hopefully CJ will be back next week.
Mike Lupica (host) 3:42:35 PM
Also, I am for real drifting in and out of sleep right now -- three mile run this morning, then two hours of yard work, followed by training session for a new DJ at the Barge and a giant plate of Mexican food. So.... sleepy....
Mike Lupica (host) 3:43:31 PM
Although, I'm sure there is some well-documented clinical danger to falling asleep while Jad Fair hollers about Bells through my laptop speaker.
Rofflestomp 3:45:22 PM
Wow, I walked over to buy a BLT sandwich and considered it a good work out. lol.
Rofflestomp 3:49:25 PM
My girlfriend is Chinese and they do the siesta thing. there too. Who knew? Not me.
Ambrose Hughes 3:50:07 PM
@Mike, nice work 👍+ you're on again @3AM tomorrow morning!
Mike Lupica (host) 4:00:42 PM
Gotta make sure that's a different one -- I don't this one needs to air a THIRD time!
Mike Lupica (host) 4:01:05 PM
Also, I nominate thuis Strongboi song for THEE pop song of the sumer.
Mike Lupica (host) 4:01:09 PM
*summer
Rofflestomp 4:02:35 PM
It does say beach time in it's way.
Rofflestomp 4:11:26 PM
This is good stuff. Restring and wire your guitars till your fingers bleed love. Perhaps I gotta do that in Haiku. Hmm...
Rofflestomp 4:13:48 PM
Oh shit, Love this song unreserved.
Mike Lupica (host) 4:24:15 PM
A couple of days old, but an important anniversary in WPRB's history here: https://c.im/@mlupica/110861689758860798
Mike Lupica (host) 4:30:31 PM
Hahaha!
Rofflestomp 4:30:36 PM
Oh shit! Should work for Captain Ahab though!
Rofflestomp 4:31:24 PM
Sorry for the shit spelling redact.
Rofflestomp 4:40:46 PM
Damn Mike, You knock essay stuff outta the park on your regular shows too. Really love that shit. Just love the the fun and connections. Brilliant! Okay, out for me. Thanks.
Ambrose Hughes 4:47:24 PM

Ambrose Hughes 4:58:28 PM
