Good morning! It's me I'm here it's me. The temperature and light in the Factory of Hope are ideal and I'm having some mint green tea. These children enjoying a nice breakfast pate in the mountains reminds me of the part in spellbound when Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman are having a picnic in the mountains and he ask her if she'd like ham or liverwurst and she rapturously replies LIVERWURST

No liverwurst for me, thanks.
TAndy 10:09:10 AM
Heya Krista
Commie Francis (host) 10:10:09 AM
me neither although i do like the pate genre (non meat version)
Commie Francis (host) 10:10:21 AM
like i'll have some tartex
Commie Francis (host) 10:10:43 AM
also hi krista how is you BABY
Krista KristaKrista 10:16:58 AM
She slept through the night last night, blessedly. Right now she is also having a little snooze. She can smile now and make a cooing sound when she sees me or the cats
iamthelabhras 10:17:29 AM
Liverwurst!
Commie Francis (host) 10:17:30 AM
my sister had to isolate from her baby for over a week due to covid and he came back to her weaned and sleeping through the night
Commie Francis (host) 10:17:34 AM
LIVERWURST
Krista KristaKrista 10:19:26 AM
I like pate on bahn mi, that's about it. I don't think Rivka will continue sleeping through the night nor is that a regular experience for a 2 month old baby but it was nice. I had to isolate from Sunny when I had COVID last time, it was hard
Commie Francis (host) 10:20:13 AM
yeah it's sort of a bonus but i wouldn't say it was worth it
iamthelabhras 10:21:07 AM
What's up people? Good to "see" everyone, etc. Esp you @Krista! Been too long. Hello!
TAndy 10:21:44 AM

Shout to Henry Kissinger.
iamthelabhras 10:33:39 AM
Shout out to Henry Kissinger. My bad.
Commie Francis (host) 10:34:05 AM
byeeeeeeeeeeee henry
Commie Francis (host) 10:34:59 AM
that reminds me of something
iamthelabhras 10:36:57 AM
A buddy of mine threw a little shindig to celebrate the life of Shane MacGowan & the passing of Henry Kissinger. Both of their faces were on the invite, just above the phrase "EVERYBODY GETS BOMBED" in all caps. I thought it was genius.
Commie Francis (host) 10:39:12 AM
ha!
Brian D 10:45:01 AM
The Fall "Hit the North" would be a good'n for Fri
Commie Francis (host) 10:45:34 AM
oh yeah for sure!
Brian D 10:48:13 AM
And Bee-attle George "Only a Northern Song". Must have heard that first in the animated Yellow Submarine movie. Loved stumbling into that on public TV channel late night. Usually during fund drives
Brian D 10:48:57 AM
Look I've got a 'ole in me pocket
iamthelabhras 10:50:19 AM

Good morning from hot chocolate land!
Commie Francis (host) 11:01:51 AM
morning Rob! hot chocolate sounds like a good idea right now!
Commie Francis (host) 11:02:04 AM
lahbras i will check that out after the show! love that song
Rob from snowy Maryland 11:07:22 AM
LIFE!! I know it has its ups and downs
Commie Francis (host) 11:08:29 AM
LIFE
Rob from snowy Maryland 11:11:02 AM
Commie, on back to back nights at the old 9:30 Club I saw Flipper and Tru Fax & the Insaniacs. I guarantee I was the only non-employee there for both nights
Commie Francis (host) 11:11:44 AM
dang!! how did the bands play under those circumstances? i love seeing a band absolutely going for it to no one
Commie Francis (host) 11:11:58 AM
i think it's in another state of mind there's a video of minor threat doing that
Rob from snowy Maryland 11:17:44 AM
Commie: Oh, there were lots of people there each night. I was trying to say that I was surely the only audience member who saw both Flipper and Tru Fax on those consecutive nights b/c I think most fans of one band wouldn't have been super fans of the other.
Rob from snowy Maryland 11:18:08 AM
and go Minor Threat!
Commie Francis (host) 11:18:10 AM
ohhhh i see
Rob from snowy Maryland 11:50:08 AM
Grape juice!
Rob from snowy Maryland 11:53:24 AM
Kim Thompson (of The Delta 72) according to wikipedia
Rob from snowy Maryland 11:53:58 AM

Commie Francis (host) 11:55:10 AM

Commie Francis (host) 11:55:22 AM

Rob from snowy Maryland 11:55:45 AM
Commie, we both enjoyed your show this morning, thanks! "See" you Friday, hopefully
Commie Francis (host) 11:55:56 AM
