good morning friends!

BRUV

Hey MrMal!!!

Just, MrM - bruv 😡

MrM sir yes sir 🫡

SUP BROS

THAT 💀

TAllyHO TAndy

Brooooo

Loungey crunchy noisy

I think it's about time to spark up

I endorse

anyone drinking a good coffee rn i need one

tell me about your cup

I just have Folgers Columbian, basic stuff

not basic! All-American.

You're just a patriot

@ Methuselah Mouse (host) Well, as it turns out ... I'm just this monring drinking THE FIRST CUPS of coffee from my spiffy new coffee maker (the last one died last week after some 20 years of service). My blend is just straight forward bowl & basket (Shoprite budget brand) hazelnut. With stevia sweetener and fat-free milk. Mmmmm ...

Oh wow!

It's all about the comfort

I stand by loving like burnt diner coffee

Plus heaping helpings of the 'PRB shows fill in the r_est and Brotalitarianism! :-))

But maybe only when I'm exhausted

We're the best wake-up treat

I make a pour over with fresh ground Blue Bottle coffee beans usually around 8am or so

... for additional full-tone flavor!

blue bottle is delish

their NOLA >>> Small World Coffee NOLA

Aw Richard, sorry to hear about the old coffee maker! I usually prefer chock full o' nuts NY roast. But ShopRite didn't have it

Rt. 1 Diner in Lawrence, next to Dominic's, has some EXCELLENT coffee despite being a diner

Yeah some diners have surprisingly good coffee

my hot take

i hate any hazelnut/french vanilla/caramel flavor

love a vanilla or maple coffee but that's the only flavor i'll take

Vanilla is the only flavor I like

https://www.tiktok.com/@poptrashmuseum/video/7213844040268205355

this video is burned into my brain

My son goes to school at Univ of DE. Little Goat Coffee has a house made vanilla syrup that is great

Love the name

I need to explore the coffee scene outside of Princeton downtown more (bc Princeton coffee kills my wallet)

But I love Sakrid Coffee and Rojo's Roastery

I think Small World is better that Rojo's. Still haven't tried Sakrid

Sakrid is fine but kinda basic

It's hard because Small World is the best atmosphere

But I think Rojos and Sakrid both have better tasting coffee

Kafe Ojala in the trenton farmers market is really good imo

Ok wait I heard it's awesome

coffee is unique and the farmers market as a whole is a vibe

I haven't been

Now that I have a friend with a car... must check it out

if u go, get the ojala latte. i dont remember whats in it but its yummy

thanks for the rec!

what do folks think about matcha

a fan

I think the small world matcha is like candy it's so good but $7 is INSANE

i agreeee

such a small portion for $7, when i can go across the street to junbi, pay that much but recieve a bigger portion

yeah I only get it when someone else is buying

but I think about it Often.

i like the matcha at wawa when its hot

wawa has matcha????

Good morning Methuselah Mouse & all 🍵 I love getting a matcha milk tea @ Junbi whenever I'm in Princeton. I didn't know Wawa had matcha. Whoa!

they do!!

i prefer it hot at wawa because the powder gets mixed in well. If i get it cold, it tastes too milky imo

Good morning Christine!!

I will have to try it! Pizza, matcha...what's next for Wawa? Sushi? 🍣 🤔

Hmmm Wawa has really expanded

Right???

A bit LONG of a drive but Death of the Fox Brewery in West Deptford not only has some neat brews, but their fresh ground and served coffee was so good, I drank it black.

Awesome name for a coffee shop wow

oh my god do not get me started on the downfall of wawa

They have a cinnamon toast crunch stout too, tasted like the cereal in milk exactly

https://www.deathofthefoxbrewing.com

TAndy, we need to hear your take on Wawa. Also, that brewery sounds great. 🦊

Oh wow

Tandy rant for us

Wawa used to be good. Now it sucks, because of their aggressive expansion. Their pizza is worst than 7-11 pizza, subs aren't as good...

Their expansion out to Ohio and further out west will be a further detriment

what do you think of panera pizza

Wawa may be trying and failing to be all things to all people

DJ MethuselahMouse! Great selections! Cheers!

thanks MrM

I've honestly never had anything from Panera, never really stood out as a place to go imo

See ya MrM!

Panera is like hospital food ish

You leaving, TAndy? BuhBye!

I thought you were leaving with the Cheers LOL

I raise my glass of water to ya

Cheers! 🍕

Good morning @ MrM 💀, Boo 👻

Quick Chek gets bonus points for having better subs, and fresh order breakfast sandwiches. Heritage's down south is the best hoagie place bar NONE in NJ. They're only a Gloucester thing, though.

Heritage's?

Hi, ChristineBoo! 👋 👻

have u been to buckees ?

Yep, very small locally owned and ran deli/coffee convenience store in Gloucester County. All of their fresh food is locally produced or purchased, and they sell local made milk in glass bottles.

I wanna go to Buccees so bad

im talking too much

DriveThru Panera is delicious!

me too

the bread at panera is good..

Type more messages gotdamn it Bruvs

just don't drink their lemonade

yikes

Lemonade that kills you <3

that better be a band name next year

Lemonade That Kills; I like it.

Can't wait for their tour with Royale With Cheese

SO TRUE

what’s 😭 in 😭 the 😭 lemon 😭 ade 😭

260 mg of caffeine

They should have not offered unlimited refills with that drink, 260mg is numerous cups of coffee and is only 40mg lower than the most caffeinated energy drinks sold in cans

wait oh my god its actually 390mg in the larger serving holy shit

they started putting the lemonades behind the counter in some places

😳

with the cigarettes and condoms

Yeah, offering it self serve with no warning, only tiny nutritional facts under the name, was extremely dangerous.

People gonna die

imagine if a kid goes and refills their cup with it. also two people already did, one was a teenager iirc

in the app they offer a "warning" but i don't think thats enough

⚠️ yikes

Caffeine is the world's most widely used psychoactive drug and -- in high doses -- it can be a dangrous stimulant, especially for anyone with underlying cardiac issues. Very tragic case.

i am trying to cut back

was drinkig too much coffee

I've managed to avoid energy drinks for nearly 2 months, and coffee only sparingly

Caffeine has a quarter life of 10 to 12 hours

1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣1️⃣❣️

Totally Tubular❣️

now it's nineteen nineghtie aeight

Sub Pop ❤️

vibey

sounds like something i'd hear in a level select menu from that time lol

someone is going through caffeine withdrawal

|:)

I saw the Plimsouls open for Josie Cotton Saturday night at Salty's, courtesy of WPRB.

Right! Fun Timez, David Shortell!

#WPRB TicketWinner#

OOOoooo

so jealous

@David, lucky! How was the show?

@MrM 💀, you were busy that day, I heard.

so busy. the day before and also the day after. whew 😎

gonna head off chat but keeping it locked with my radio. thanks for the show, dj mm!!

thanks for coming, Tandy!

CHeers, TAndy!

‘Twas a fine evening, though low advance ticket sales meant they played in the smallest of the bar’s three music spaces (and Kurt Baker canceled). Josie played guitar for a song or two. “Secret Agent Man” was on the set list. She closed with “Sheena is a Punk Rocker”. As for the Plimsouls, they played the Equals’ “I’m So Excited” (Afterwards, I showed their frontman my phone video of Derv Gordon singing it at Monty Hall six years ago) and closed with the Moving Sidewalks’ “99th Floor”.

Wow!

Sounds intimate at the very least

XTC❣️

@David, that sounds fantastic. You were up close & personal.

THIS! These Vibes are IMMACULATE

Hahaha happy to play it then

X̐̈T̐̈C̐̈ ✨️

🔫🔫💚

le disko is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day lol

not to talk about beverages again, but has anyone had the chai from small world

Thanks DJ Methuselah Mouse

"have you had our chai before?"

Thanks for coming, Rob!

@Em "Le Disko" is burned into my brain already

i ask because i haven't met anyone who likes it yet..

🪩 🎊 🛼 💎🎸 🎧 🎛 ✨️✅️

Cheers, DJ Methuselah 🐭!

O, K Records‼️

🆗️

🆒

Take good care, ChristineBoo! 👋👻

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Ears!

Well done. DJ MethuselahMouse!
