SPEAKER_04 0:00

Yeah what have to do before the early meeting to one and all. This is Eddie Positive and Wyalita and we are bringing to you live from the River West From the River West Radio on the perfectly perfectly dusty street of center. Mother's Musical Diaries with Andy and Wyolita. And uh no, we've got a hard new phone line for you, folks. And uh you can call or text the show at 414-812-uh 1730. That's 414-812-1730. It's a great year for the for the Wasmania Auropunctata. Uh, or the electric ant. I'm just gonna go with the electric ant and this. This this little this little critter is known for its painful, really painful sting. And uh, quote, seemingly out of proportion to its size, end quote. But I mean, I have to say that for an animal one million times smaller than another, any registration of pain or feeling by the larger animal from a sting or bite from the extraordinarily smaller one is out of proportion. I'm just saying, uh, if that makes any sense, uh, not sure if I'm being clear. Anywho! As it goes, we start every show with a diary entry from mother, and then at some point we play a song from our musical archives, and finally we end each show with mother, breathing closely, then entering my room to impart wisdom that offers a good, deep sleep. And that's the way we start the show, that's the way we end it, and that's the way we like to do it. But first, a diary entry from mother. Uh while I put up the wrong lever. Ha ha! I've been out for two weeks, mother lovers, and I just grabbed the wrong lever. And first, a diary entry from mother. Yeah, it's like that. Last weekend, I took Andy and Larry to a new and somewhat fancy restaurant in town called Captain Joe's Fish and Squall. As we entered, there was a huge aquarium with a single lobster in it. The sad creature was standing on its hind legs and its claws stretched upward, lightly bouncing up and down. What's worse is that he had a yellow bow tacked to his head. Andy about lost his mind and begged me to save him, to take him home for release. I had to explain that we were more than 1,000 miles from the ocean. So, no, we couldn't save him. But we could refuse to order lobster or fish or scallops or mussels, which left us with creamed corn and mashed potatoes and Texas toast. Not bad.

SPEAKER_08 3:12

A little slice of toast. In the buttons, you got it, not a whole lot. You got it, but I'm not in the mouth, you feel that home, that's in the bed. Right next to my home. And if I get the best, that's all the best. It's the best of the back. Oh, bitch, that's a bad, that's the foul, that's not a chance, that's the top. It's what I'm doing. I'll put it on the home.

SPEAKER_04 5:52

Oh, wow, that was Paul Wingfield with a whole pot of jelly for a little slice of toast. Uh, which that followed a memorable memory from Captain Joe's fish and squall. I remember that, Mother. The waiters, I'm pretty sure the waiters they'd be walking around yelling, yeah, be warned, meaty, there's a squall coming. So get ready, just swapped the poop dick. And I re I remember that, mother, and and I also remember that poorly destined lobster. Uh what mother didn't tell you is that she never explained why the lobster needed to go to the ocean. And uh she doesn't she uh what mother also doesn't know is that I went back and bought that little fella, and I put him in the pond over on Cloman Way. And of course, uh years later I found out what salt water was, and you can imagine how well I slept the next few months. Not well, that's what I'm trying to say. Uh but anyway, milk split under the bridge. And I I want to return to that last song by Paul Wingfield. And that's a that's a catchy tune that really deserves a revival. And um I kind of hatched a plan. I was like, I wonder if maybe Wes Anderson could play it in one of his one of his movies, and that would really bring some attention to that song. Like maybe there's a little kid who's going through puberty and he can't understand why the girls don't like him, and then he sings this song uh that we just heard at a middle school talent festival, and everyone just goes crazy, but it's uh but it's all sort of a dream because in reality everyone thinks the song is kind of stupid except for him, but uh because he's actually he's really super he has super great taste in music, and he's just surrounded by morons. He's like a phoenix alone in the sun, so to speak. And uh well, at any rate, uh I wanna I wanna call a special guest from Turkey Foot, uh Pennsylvania, who told me about this song. Go ahead and call that. Uh you got the phone there, there we go. Yeah, okay. Now I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go ahead and I'm just gonna patch that through and see if we've got Tony from Turkey Foot on the line. And uh Tony, are you there? I'm here. That's the hell. This the phone system is working just well, so that's Tony from Turkey Foot. Listen, I wanted to call you because you you're the one that hit me up to this great song about the the the the the jelly and the toast and whatnot, and I was wondering what you uh why you like that song.

SPEAKER_05 8:17

You know, there's not a lot of uh breakfast anthems out there. Uh, I can't think of another one. It it really filled a niche that that no other songs do. You wake up in the morning, you hear it right away, you you play it any time of the day, but I I think it's it's great to have uh a song that's meant for breakfast.

SPEAKER_04 8:36

That's a serious wisdom coming all the way across the the the land from Pennsylvania and uh t you know I I heard uh we had a little text exchange and you said you had an impersonation. Is this something I was supposed to introduce, or are you just gonna surprise me with it?

SPEAKER_05 8:50

Well, well, I was hoping you could I i it's not the normal kind, I just make one sound and you have to guess. You have to guess who I'm impersonating.

SPEAKER_04 8:58

Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 8:59

And I got a couple because they're fast, okay? Okay, you're a Milwaukee, right? You're a Milwaukee. Yes, sir. Okay, the first one's the softball, because you're from Milwaukee. You ready?

SPEAKER_04 9:09

Yep, baby, okay.

SPEAKER_05 9:17

Okay. Okay, we're gonna get a little harder. You ready for the next one? Okay, okay. Ready?

SPEAKER_04 9:40

This is like rolling hard. Can you start over again?

SPEAKER_05 9:43

Wow. Wow.

SPEAKER_04 9:46

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Princess Bride, the guy from the Princess Bride. Jennifer Coolidge that is Jennifer Poolidge.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

She's in a lot of movies, she's really funny. You just look her up.

SPEAKER_04 10:01

Listen, you got one more. You got you got one more. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So, what do you call these?

SPEAKER_05 10:06

Like one syllable uh one sounding this is new. I'm workshopping it. This is the first time anybody's heard this idea.

SPEAKER_04 10:15

Hey, well, Wiley is uh Wiley's got a big grin, so you're doing good.

unknown 10:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 10:21

I gotta do two more. Two more, please. Yep. Okay, here we go. You ready?

SPEAKER_04 10:26

Yep. Uh oh boy, I'm at a loss here. What do you got? Uh one more. That little Korean fellow, Jin Jung. That guy that's on the the guy that's on the masked singers control.

SPEAKER_05 10:45

It's probably the phone's not doing us any favors. That was share. That was share.

SPEAKER_04 10:49

Oh yeah. When I hear when I when I think about share, I think about that digital auto correct thing.

SPEAKER_05 10:55

Oh, no, this is pre-auto-tuned share. Okay, last one, I'll make it an easy one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:03

Uh Prince.

SPEAKER_05 11:05

Little John.

SPEAKER_04 11:06

Uh-huh. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. Not bad. I wonder, can you maybe workshop that around the house and then we can call you again in a couple weeks?

SPEAKER_05 11:15

Yeah, I'll try to come up with some more. Uh uh, I'll try to come up with some some more.

SPEAKER_04 11:19

Yeah, okay. Just before we uh uh uh part ways here, Tony from Turkey Foot, how did I do with my guessing? What'd you think?

SPEAKER_05 11:27

Oh, I was I I couldn't have imagined it would go there.

SPEAKER_04 11:31

Okay, that all right. Tony from Turkey Foot, thanks for calling. Actually, I called him. What the heck am I even singing? He got me all screwed up with his one-syllable stinking uh pronunciation uh thingies, and uh there we go. Thank you. Okay, listen, and uh he I gotta tell you that Tony from Turkey Foot, he's the one that told me about that song. And my only quibble is that uh that what that once it's toast, it's not a slice. Okay, Mr. Wingfield. You can't have a slice of toast. You could have a slice of bread. Uh but once it's toast, all right, it's it's it it's a piece of toast, please. That's my kind of music. Uh Wilita's too. Uh we love that album by Pa Libio Miorga.

unknown 14:46

Ha ha!

SPEAKER_04 14:47

Uh the whole darn thing from cover to cover. What a blast. Uh that song was called uh Moniquita Blanca, uh, which translates to let's check on that, Wilita.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

Moniquita Blanca. Can you do that again? Moniquita Blanca.

SPEAKER_04 15:05

Yeah, well that's not the pronunciation, uh, but Moniquita Blanca tr translutes to little white doll. And uh no, I wouldn't have thought that because it sounds more like, well, I mean, if if it's a doll, then it's a doll with a with a with like a broken eye or something, or maybe the side of its cheek is smashed in. And uh there's just too much drama in that song to just be a little white doll. And I think we agree on that one, Mother Lovers here in Mother's Musical Diaries with Andy and Wylita. 104.1 FMWXRW, the live show with all vinyl records all the time, right, Wyolita?

unknown 15:42

Woo!

SPEAKER_04 15:43

Yes, Wylita agrees. And uh Polibio was super he was super prolific, and so much so that he had to release a bunch of stuff under pseudonyms like the horny Honduran and uh loopy Lucille. Uh, but I'm not sure. Uh I just sort of made those up. But uh because research and research and development stinks here, or Sergei would say search develop. Search develop. Okay, but uh the pseudonym thing is true, I promise. And uh looks like we have a we might have another call there, Wiley. Uh the phone is just blown off the hook, I'll tell you what. Let's go ahead there. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna punch that one through. Okay, we got plenty of time uh for for for calls on mother's musical diaries. Call her, what the heck you got there for me? Me and the boys were just listening to you down at the station and just say that rootin' for you.

SPEAKER_03 16:46

We just love you showing you make us so proud over here in Nina. You know what you're saying, Handy.

SPEAKER_04 16:51

Uh, for a woman What the hell are you rooting for? You just make us so proud over here in Nina. Make it in the big time. We hear ya. We hear you. We got listeners, we got listeners here at the station and then hearing you got listeners off the way at the moment. Uh no, uh no, I don't. And what is what what the heck are you coming about for real McKenney? Well, Andy, we think you we think you got a bit off course with that story about the lobster. That made everyone sad. I can't help me police force going into the theater of law enforcement with tears in their eyes, Andy. Hang up, Wiley. Hang up, hang up, hang up, hang up. Yeah, okay, I can't have police force going into the theater of law enforcement with tears in their eyes. Okay, good clamber. What a load of baloney. Listen, Officer McKinney, I do what I want with my show, and that's why people like it. Did you hear that there's a little worm that lives under the rug and he talks? And what? And now he's an intern? In other words, he works for free. Okay, and the show made you sad. Well, too bad. Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm doubling down, McKigney. I'm gonna play a sad, sad song. I'm telling you it's so sad. You better get your you better get your tissues out there, big boy.

SPEAKER_03 18:24

I told you so.

SPEAKER_04 25:42

Holy clamor, that was Bill Evans. P E A C P E A C E P I E C E from 1958. And I don't want to go too far into the woods, but uh when we had to put down Burger Time, we played this song for my cell phone. Just sitting there on the rug with a little guy as the life just slowly passed out his body. And uh me and Waylita, and I think you agree, but we uh we uh we believe that life uh life life ought to be valued in every way. That's what we that's what we say, mother lovers. Life ought to be valued in every way. And of course, music is an expression of life, an indication that we're alive and in communion with the cosmos, which is the ultimate intelligence. And uh thinking of Burger Time made me realize that we haven't, you know, we haven't, we really haven't heard from the lads in a while. There they are, Lemonhead, Godzilla, Golden Boy One, and Golden Boy Two. We love you so much. One and all, yeah, it's so good to see you. You might uh yeah, you love this next song. Oh, yes, come here, you know. What are you rolling around for? Did you hear that sad song? Yeah, but this next song is by the precocious five-year-old singer and organist Lucky Peterson. When you hear that organ voice, it's gets you gotta know what's coming out of a five-year-old. Yes, lemonhead, yes, it is. He's only five and he needs candy. Well, yes, he does. I just listen, yeah, you're gonna you love look at you. Yeah, I know, I know you love this song, especially when he starts smacking his lips. The telly chill, and the double dough, girl can, good old candy, I need daddy, but all candy, I need that, and I'll go, and a lolly ball, and I'll go in, get all candy Holy cow, that was good old candy. Fine and dandy, mister Fine and dandy indeed, Mr. Peterson. Boy, the kitty's sure like that one, I'll tell you that much, it gets them all hungry and what have ya. And I like it too, but it sort of upsets Wylita, that song. Wylita always gets so worried when little Lucky starts screaming, and I sort of get it. He does sort of sound like he's getting his hand crushed in a vice. Uh, but uh well, well, even so, that song got my tummy just a rumblin'. Uh just got my tummy rumbling, mother lovers, and I think it's time for the long-awaited uh Andy's Chip and Drink Taste Testing. Wait, no, that's Andy's Chip and Drink Taste No, no, Andy's chip and drink taste taste tasting. Yeah, that's what it is. I apologize. Uh uh Andy's chip and drink taste tasting. That's it. Okay, this is a new copyrighted feature, and you're gonna love it. Who doesn't love to hear food and drink sampled on live radio? I know, I sure do. So here it goes, and the whole idea is that I can that I try various chip and drink combinations that I can then recommend to you, my listeners, for your next party or family event. Okay, let's get started. Let's there we go. Okay. Okay, the first pairing mixes East and West. As so many good experiences do, such as the Wizard of Oz, of course. Yes, indeed, the Wizard of Oz. Okay, uh first we have a bag of What do we got here? We got a bag of hot garlic shrimp chips, uh, who one reviewer noted, quote, found these in Harris Teeter on the International Isle. They are fishy smelling, and I don't care for the taste either. End quote. Well, not too helpful, but I remain steadfast in my resolve, mother lovers. Okay, you gotta pair the hot garlic shrimp shrimp chips with a Riesling from Bavaria that has notes of petroleum with high minerality. And uh I have no idea what that's supposed to be, but here we go. Okay, so first I'm just gonna I'm gonna open up that chip bag. You gotta get the chips open. Come on. Come on. Open Okay, got the chips open. Okay, and now I'm just gonna. Uh, there we go. I'm just gonna pour the wine. Okay. And I'm just gonna pour the wine over here. Uh boy, those chips sure smell good, though. I love garlic. Just pour a little glass of wine. Oh, that's a good smelling Riesling, and it's right. It does have kind of petroleum over notes. Okay, here we go, mother lovers. And here's the chip here for him. Let's start with the garlic chip. Yeah, it's kinda yeah, it's kinda fishy. Yeah, that's a little fishy tasting, but uh I'm not I don't mind so much. Let's see how this wine goes with it. It's gonna swirl it around. Nope. No. I don't like that at all. Uh the the patrol nope. Okay, so uh this that's the value of this, mother lover. Now you know that uh I wouldn't pair garlic shrimp chips with uh this particular wreathling. Okay, so now let's try this next one here. We're gonna switch that we're gonna switch up the drink. It's uh the and the chip. Okay, let's start with the chip. And the chip is uh called a naughty naughty tomato chips. Okay. No, I feel I feel so dirty. Okay, I'm gonna get kind of excited with this one. Okay, we're gonna we're gonna switch up with the drink too. It's uh naughty uh tomato chips with the wait for it, buttermilk on ice with a dash of salt and pepper. And um Wellita, we're gonna. I'm just gonna uh get that going here. Yeah, I'm gonna get the buttermilk going. And there's uh I think yeah. Can you get me that bottle of buttermilk? Yeah, see, yeah. Get me that butter of Yeah, it's right behind Wormy. Hey, Wormie, you can't have any. Eggno. There we go. Uh, yeah, it's okay. No, I'm just gonna put some ice in there. Keep playing it, yeah. I'm gonna put some ice in that cup. Should Yeah. There we go. Perfect. Yep, and now wait a little more ice, yeah, just like that. Now I'm just gonna give it a little shake. Yep. And while I'm doing that, I'm gonna have a try one of these naughty tomato chips. Mmm, that's a good tomato. I mean, that's a good, yeah. I got that drink all shaken up, and I got the naughty chips in my mouth. Now I'm gonna take a little drink of that water, that buttermilk. Just put a little salt in there, and then a little pepper. Okay, this is the way they do it. Here we go. Oh, that's awful. Don't ever Don't ever. I don't even know if I'd ever drink that buttermilk ice with salt and pepper on its own. The chips were just fine. What the heck is that? Apparently this is the big deal in the South, this whole buttermilk stuff. Good lord, that was awful. That was Waylita, what are you doing to me? Boogaloo Jones was a real stunner there, folks. You gotta check out Boogaloo Jones. He's a guitarist of the highest ranking, hands down, I just love it so much. And it got me thinking about a calendar. A jazz calendar, yes, indeed. Yes, calendar, yes. Indeed. Ha ha ha! Okay, yeah, it has been a few weeks uh since we last checked out the jazz calendar, so let's just get to it. And what do we have? Uh let's see. I'm I'm tired up because I was doing some air guitar there. And uh, I'm just uh thumbing through the calendar here. Okay, no, not that. Okay, Mel Goodman's jazz and geometry. Nope, yeah, okay, no. Uh, the Brigadier General Child's Orange Chicken, three guns to loot. I thought that I can't recommend the jazz pretty muted in that show. Okay, uh, here's one. Okay, here we go. Cameron's electric lip ensemble. Hot stuff right there. Cameron's electric lip ensemble at the I Hope Eternal Fire Cafe Pancake Shelter and Out. Okay, that's 12 unit on April 11th and. And uh bring canned fruit if possible. Okay. Uh that's what the note says there. One more time with the lovers. Uh froti with my full rec uh recommendation. Cameron's electric lip ensemble at the I Hope Eternal Fire Cafe Pancake Shelter and House. Okay, 12 noon on April 11th. Uh, bring canned fruit if possible. Uh, you know what else is not possible, but probable? Yes, that's right. It's if thickets, and why not? Uh, each show I'll read up short passage from my unpublished memoir titled The Diarrhea Foundos in Me, which will be illustrated by Walita. And each show will get a little deeper into the story. Last week, little Andy dreamed about Bilbo, the monkey who kept feeding him ice cream sandwiches over and over. What could possibly happen next? Okay, let's see. With the diarrhea foundos in me. July 29th. Found us and I took a walk to the little green store to get some soda. Every day is new here. And I'm free to go wherever I want, just like at home. Foundos' rear end is red and irritated, and he keeps stopping to lick at it. To lick at it. I never tell him what to do, so we sit together for as long as he needs. Dutchy joined us and told me that Rick got caught last night looking into Lewin's window. No one mentioned this at breakfast. We decided that maybe Rick needed a taste of his own medicine, and that we go look into his window. Foundos got excited and agreed. And then really went at his rear. Aunt Carrie planted a beautiful hosta along the fence. Love that sound. Hey, we were really rocking in here, right, Wailita? Yes, yes, we were. And uh And that was a real conversion of all sorts of Western stuff. It's a Malaysian this or that. And I'm gonna take out my cough drop. Ha ha! Conversion of all sorts of Western stuff in some Malaysian this or that. And that's what our research team, uh uh research and novel team, that's what they sent me, and uh and uh okay, listen, we gotta we have we we gotta fire these knuckleheads uh while Waylita. Um because uh they are they are uh Yeah, they're just not doing their job. And that's all they're sending me, uh uh a real conversion of all all sorts of Western stuff and some Malaysian this or that. Okay, mother lovers. My rant was really meant for live radio, should have kept that to myself. But uh how about I guess we ought to take a call. And uh I see the phone lines just go just lighting up the late afternoon sky. Let's take a let's take that call. Well, don't you think they're while there it is. Yeah, and I'm just gonna punch that in. We don't have a lot of time here, caller, so what do you got? And that uh that uh I wanted to uh wanted to call about that. Uh what did you say that uh that uh lobster? I wanted to uh I wanted to call about that because uh that there's uh there's a seafood place uh near my house called Shig of Fish and uh that uh what you said uh is uh true and that uh there's that uh there's a lobster who uh who used basically uh stands and the um the tank and he uh stands there and doesn't have a small interesting house. You just mentioned one two at a place called um fish and shack and uh that uh there's uh three tanks, and I know that uh you said that uh that there was only one tank, but uh yes, Eric, uh you said that. Yep, yep, you said that. Okay, was there something else? Well, yes, uh you brought up in in uh your program uh that uh you said that um that uh you didn't uh know what an ocean uh and uh what an ocean was, and then I I just thought I I just thought that Eric, Eric, uh it's not that I uh I didn't know what an ocean was, I knew what an ocean was. I just didn't know that lobsters can only live in oceans because of the salinity. I was just a little kid. There is uh technically that uh that uh there is a a uh freshwater lobster that uh it's uh it's uh it that uh doesn't need soap uh because uh that uh it lives in freshwater. So I was thinking that uh but I but I'm gonna guess that that you're that you're what you're talking about is a crayfish, not a lobster. There's a big difference there. And uh but that uh you might be right, but uh but not about that, but I'd uh I'd have to check and uh that uh to be sure, but uh that does that does sound right to me. Thank you, Eric. Yeah, really. Wow, really great stuff there from here. Thanks for calling, Eric. Uh that was uh that was a side road to say the least, and uh what's what's that, Pierre? What'd you say? He sounds a very smart for me, yeah. Uh yeah, okay, Pierre. Pierre said he sounded really smart. Yeah, he sounded very buttoned up, as they say. Uh so let's loosen up the show, uh Wiley. What do you got there? Uh yeah, let's let's play that on Mother's Musical Diaries with Andy and Wylita live on 104.1 FMWXRW River West Radio. Time to loosen up the buttons there, Eric. Let's go.

Got low at the top and high at the bottom. In fact, I don't see how we ever get without him. Now there's a place down the street. They call a chippin' in. Let's walk on down there, baby. That's where the fun begins. But let me check you just one more time. You know you sent me, baby. Let's go on in here. Now, suck it to me. You know it's getting good to me now. Ah, shut up.

SPEAKER_04 55:53

Oh yeah, boy, the one and only Slim Harpo. And mother lovers, if you don't have any Slim Harpo in your record collection, you uh you better get on that, because I'd say your your record collection is deficient. And uh just looking at a text message here, someone texted uh 414-812-1730, and they said uh this is from hashtag uh Wacko. I think it's supposed to be spelled Wacko, but it's hashtag Wacko. And they said, uh, I am a little disappointed uh with Tony from Turkey Foot that he did not know that there is another excellent breakfast anthem, comma, dot dot dot smiley face, Starfish and Coffee by Prince. Ooh, oh you know, actually I stand corrected, hashtag wacko. That's pretty, that's pretty darn good. And we got another text message in here. Mother Lover, you can text too at 414-812-1730. Text or call anytime. And this person says, uh, okay, wow, wow, wow. The third wow has three W's. And uh wow, wow, wow. Uh that taste tasting was gross. And uh listen, you don't know the half of it, because you just got in your ears. Alright, fella, I got it in my mouth. I still can't get rid of that taste. And uh that's what I'm gonna be working on all night. I would imagine getting rid of that taste, and dead blasted buttermilk with salt and pepper is awful. That's that's one reason why the salt the salt continues to suffer and uh, it looks like I hear mother there.

SPEAKER_02 58:00

Andy, don't be fooled by the naysayers, Andy. Life is a mosquito and a stone, a rope, and a phone.

SPEAKER_04 58:13

Oh, mother! Thank you so much for coming into my room and telling me that again, because I forgot, I very forgot, and uh so good to hear from uh. And you know who else is good to hear from? I'll tell you what. J-E-R-R-Y-H-A-H-N-G-R-H. I love it.

Have a great rest of your day.
