23:00:47 – David Loftus : https://www.patreon.com/posts/48381096
23:01:12 – Tricia : oh hell yes!!! This was the first song I sang as a kid. We were at church and it was Xmas and the minister said it was time to sing Joy to the World, and 2 year old me belted out “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog”
23:02:29 – Rebecca Stamm : Thanks for that link David!
23:02:33 – Rebecca Stamm : Super curious to read
23:04:29 – Rebecca Stamm : Gawd this song is perf for you
23:05:59 – kasey : im curious adam, the electrical outlet over your left shoulder…. is that the corner the “fireplace” was in?
23:07:58 – Adam Baker : Yes. That outlet is above the ex-fireplace. Lord knows where we’d have stuck the davenport, if I were still there.
23:08:17 – kasey : davenport… are you 100 years old?
23:08:38 – Adam Baker : you should see his collection of sweater vests
23:08:49 – Adam Baker : and cardigans
23:09:02 – Adam Baker : I may also own a pocket watch.
23:09:03 – David Loftus : I hope you got rid of the pipes at least.
23:09:04 – kasey : do they have the reinforced elbows like Mr Rogers??
23:09:07 – Angie Schauer : With leather elbow protection?
23:10:06 – Adam Baker : *Kick IT Rebecca!!!

23:10:29 – Toby Loftus : Six
23:10:33 – Angie Schauer : The Six
23:10:39 – kasey : if you have an Alexa device, that outlet would be perfect for it… They have “wall mounts” that plug into the outlet and allow Alexa to rest inside it flush against the wall
23:11:11 – Angie Schauer : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_(musical)
23:12:45 – Adam Baker : I could not find either of my corduroy jackets. We’re not completely unpacked, yet.
