Tyler B.
12:17:13 PM
It was everything you'd expect and more. A great day in the evening. And no surprise to see and hear how many lives Pierre touched. I met him once and stayed impressed ever since, as well.
Readie Righteous (host)
12:18:35 PM
@Tyler B- that is so great to hear! What a legend - for Philly & beyond...
Readie Righteous (host)
12:19:06 PM
It's cool that you met him1 I would've been quite star-struck!
Tyler B.
12:21:09 PM
Worked at his house a few times! Once we were lucky enough to catch him right on time, ten minutes late on the way out to be on air hahaha
Readie Righteous (host)
12:23:28 PM
Cool, Tyler B! He was such a huge presence on-air and off...how cool to have been Pierre-adjacent!
addie🐍🐍🐍plum
12:28:36 PM

Readie Righteous (host)
12:29:19 PM

12:30:02 PM
The work of a DJ is so important ;) Jealous of Addie's open bar party. No such luck at TCNJ
Readie Righteous (host)
12:31:47 PM
Bike R- lovely words about DJs! I fell in love with radio through the many AM DJs I grew up listening to...
Readie Righteous (host)
12:34:51 PM
I hadn't realized how dark the lyrics to this WITCH song are! 😲

Afternoon, Readie! Not saying ‘good’ afternoon cause it’s a cold, dreary, ugly winter day here in Green Bay. Struggling to get used to this after 3 weeks of long, warm summer days. But at least we have Recherche to cheer us up!
Tyler B.
1:52:06 PM
I'm doing the multiple radio thing!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:52:10 PM
Hey Jeff! So happy to be of service ! Yeah- what a shock to the system from summer down under to Green Bay!! Just in time for the start of winter officially!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:53:28 PM
@Tyler B- good! it works for almost any song really, but especially Lindstrom's...drummer boy! that delay is mesmerizing!!! woohoo!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:54:22 PM
streaming vs FM broadcast...it's a revelation
Readie Righteous (host)
1:55:33 PM
@Jeff - was the homestead buried in snow when you returned?
Jeff Langan
2:00:11 PM
Not buried, maybe 6”. And fortunately my neighbor cleared our driveway for us so we didn’t have to trudge through it to get into the house.
Readie Righteous (host)
2:02:19 PM
Wow, Jeff - lovely neighbor! really nice...someone of my neighbors, don't know who it was - cleaned off my car after we got 7+ inches recently...here's to helpful neighbors!
Pengy
2:05:03 PM
Just started tuning in; the snow has really started to thaw; and it's actually, dare i say it...kind of nice out?
Readie Righteous (host)
2:06:19 PM
Hi Pengy! I noticed that on the way in - it's about 49 degrees rn!
Jeff Langan
2:07:01 PM
I’ll second that!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:07:16 PM
look out for melting overhead icicles!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:08:06 PM
I went to the lyberry (sic) yesterday, and an icecold drop of water plopped right in my eye!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:08:25 PM
as I walked in the door!
Pengy
2:12:36 PM
Only one more week til Christmas everyone haha
Bike R
2:21:15 PM

Pengy
2:37:21 PM
I'm reading along from a transcript as he's just going and this is amazing.
Readie Righteous (host)
2:38:03 PM

Jeff Langan
2:47:22 PM
Feeling my eyelids getting heavy, Readie, so I’m going to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year before I drift off! And a Happy Holidays to everyone!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:48:51 PM
