Announcer: This is Loudspeaker.

[Song: "Bird Tutorial" by Sidney Gish]

Cheyenne: Good evening, D.C. It’s Tuesday and you know what that means. It’s time for me, Cheyenne Midej, “The Jersey Devil” to my friends, certain specific enemies, and also Great Aunt Maleficent Midej (hi, Aunt Millie) to join you for the Vibe. And we’ve got a great show for you today now that we’ve got all our technical issues sorted out. God, you should have heard my producer going to town on the phone with the construction company and the building owners and the city zoning office! It was pretty great.

That funny little tune we kicked things off with was "Bird Tutorial" by Sidney Gish, and our next little number I’d like to dedicate to our lovely boss, the WMSC station head who’s on vacation in Savannah this week. Here’s "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." It’s fine. He doesn’t listen to the show. Also, he’s in Georgia!

[Song: "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band]

[Song: "Duck Eat Duck World" by Destroy Boys]

[Song: "Like Stone" by Matt Berry]

[Song: "The Frankenstep" by Matt Duncan]

Cheyenne: That was The Charlie Daniels Band with "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," Destroy Boys with "Duck Eat Duck World," Matt Berry with "Like Stone," and Matt Duncan with "The Frankenstep."

Things have been kind of quiet for me this week so I figured I’d open up the phones for some advice from your friendly neighborhood DJ. So while we jam out some more, give me your troubles, listeners. Let’s see if I can help. I mean, I probably can’t make things worse, right? Right?

[Song: "Things Still Left to Say" by Mal Blum]

[Song: "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd]

[Song: "Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)" by KIDS SEE GHOSTS feat. Ty Dolla $ign]

[Song: "Americano" by The Brian Setzer Orchestra]

Cheyenne: You just heard Mal Blum with "Things Still Left to Say," The Weeknd with "Save Your Tears," Kids See Ghosts featuring Ty Dolla $ign with "Freeee (Ghost Town, Part 2)" and "Americano" by The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

So we got a few interesting calls to start with, although I’m sorry to Leonard - I don’t know much about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - and Hawk, I think you just need to accept that you can’t always choose what becomes your public brand. Or be more careful about what you say is, quote, “just a thought experiment” and “definitely not a sex thing.”

Let’s take some calls and listen to some more tunes.

[Song: "Point / Counterpoint" by Streetlight Manifesto]

[Song: "Hold Tight" by PROJECT BEXX]

[Song: "Cytoplasm" by The Doozers]

[Song: "Tongues" by Joywave feat. Kopps]

Cheyenne: That was "Point / Counterpoint" by Streetlight Manifesto, "Hold Tight" by PROJECT BEXX, "Cytoplasm" by The Doozers, and "Tongues" by Joywave and Kopps.

So we got a call from someone who only identified themselves as a long-time listener, first-time caller, who said they’ve been having a hard time dealing with a new coworker who isn’t taking their job seriously. And yeah, I can see how that’d be frustrating. It reminds me of this one time back when I was working as a… (fades out)

[Staticky whooshing]

[Song: "Friends on the Other Side" by Keith David]

Cheyenne (continuing): ...and that really made all the difference. I hope that helps smooth things out between you and your coworker, caller. And I hope your time here in the Vibe has helped smooth out your day because we’re just about all done here, folks. As always, this has been Cheyenne Midej, your Jersey Devil, sending you on your way with "All Star" as performed by Fauxny, Kevin Gonring, and 3GI. ‘Night, D.C. Stay safe out there.
