The 4/20 stoner doom releases this year were rad
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:13:50 PM
They were indeed! Maybe next time my show falls on 4/20 i should just wait to see what comes out that morning and hastily put together a last minute show

Jon Solomon 6:36:23 PM
Consensus at dinner is that this terrific track has an unexpected “here we come a wassailing” sensibility.
TAndy 6:37:14 PM
Oh my god I forgot I saw this image macro earlier, gonna show Flex on Thursday too: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/467333126255804418/971178501686308864/1651582603858.jpg
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:38:33 PM
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:38:36 PM
lol Jon I had to look that up
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:38:54 PM
TAndy I love it! Will put that as the header next week
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:39:08 PM
I make that face frequently during Flex & Ahab shows
TAndy 6:39:08 PM
>:)
TAndy 6:39:24 PM
I can't find the post in Soupposting so I can't credit the individual who put it together :(
Teresa Yes I Did!nate 6:40:01 PM
@Jon -- Spot on again! I hear that too! Either that, or "Summer is a-Coming in / loudly sing 'CUCKOO'!"
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:40:15 PM
Just remembered I met the Soup Nazi this last weekend in Parsippany LOL
TAndy 6:41:14 PM
Omfg
TAndy 6:41:24 PM
Does he pride himself in that role or is he tired of all the jokes?
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:42:26 PM
He was nice, it was brief. Crowded horror/tv/gen x nostalgia convention
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:42:51 PM
I shamefully am not very versed in Seinfeldia
TAndy 6:43:21 PM
I'm also sad to say that it's a show that I love and appreciate but there are still many quotes and references that I don't understand
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:43:33 PM
Wassail used to be a beer @jonsol
TAndy 6:43:34 PM
Same with the Simpsons but my God the writing on early Simpsons is so rapid fired
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:44:06 PM
I love rapid fire

We're cruisin like Al Pacino
TAndy 6:47:44 PM
This song makes me want to do something
TAndy 6:48:05 PM
It makes me want to imitate a mythological creature known for its ill behavior
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:48:38 PM
the mighty Swampus?
TAndy 6:48:49 PM
😈
TAndy 6:49:36 PM
Still getting some stuttering pops on FM... Sounds like something up with audio latency.
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:51:58 PM
I'll check out the stream from my phone
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:52:14 PM
hmm yeah I see what you mean
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:52:19 PM
SIGH
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:52:45 PM
any FM listeners can report back whether it's the stream or the source (i.e. me)?
TAndy 6:53:11 PM
I'm on FM and I still hear it
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:53:34 PM
oh no!
TAndy 6:53:55 PM
I was listening on stream at ShopRite and heard it all the same. It's not detracting much but it's a bit more noticable than record groove pops and crackles
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:54:05 PM
I'm listening in my head via my fillings
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:54:32 PM
the only thing ive changed is using a focusrite now, i hope that's not the cause, will play around after the show and investigate
TAndy 6:55:42 PM
I'm not sure how that would make any impact aside from an audio driver? If it's driver related you would hear it on your end outside of the stream
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:56:02 PM
that shouldnt affect the music since it's only a change to my mic setup not the source of my music
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:56:13 PM
yeah same
Guelo 6:57:23 PM
yeah hearing it... i dunno why but ive grown to distrust focusrites...
TAndy 6:57:26 PM
If that's the case then maybe it could be something related to the program you're using to stream the music
TAndy 6:57:48 PM
You could compare the settings you're using to the settings any other DJ may be using with a similar setup as yours
Captain Pledgehab (host) 6:58:32 PM
Yeah i'll investigate, maybe next week go back to my old setup and see if that fixes things
jimbeaux 6:58:39 PM
Ready to Anatolianerd out!
TAndy 6:58:57 PM
Or maybe even something related to bitrate. I'm pretty sure the station streams at 96k since that is what VLC reports when I look at the stream info.
TAndy 6:59:05 PM
And yes I am READY to get Anatolian
Matthew Snopenhauer 7:21:09 PM
Let's Get (Anatolian)
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:26:17 PM
funky time
Brian D 7:29:20 PM
Loving this
jimbeaux 7:30:19 PM
A jaunty one!
Jon Solomon 7:30:29 PM
Sitting on the couch reading a graphic novel with this show as the soundtrack = perfect!
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:32:16 PM
Love that seal of approval
TAndy 7:33:49 PM
whatcha reading there Jon
richard lyons 7:34:04 PM
Wonderful show!!!
TAndy 7:34:09 PM
I'm a bit less cultured and am watching a Subaru BRZ review haha
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:34:17 PM
Thank you Richard!
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:35:39 PM
This track isn't the best recording and there are a few skips that can't be helped
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:35:51 PM
Not an issue of the stream
Jon Solomon 7:37:13 PM
Reading a book called Tunnels. Well, I was. Raced right though it and left it for the kid to enjoy next!
TAndy 7:38:04 PM
By Rutu Modan? Just looked it ip

Jon Solomon 7:40:11 PM
Yes. A friend who reviews comics liked it a bunch so I checked it out. May get another one of her books next!
TAndy 7:41:53 PM
I should get back to reading at some point....
TAndy 7:42:13 PM
I'll start off easy with some Simpsons comics lol
TAndy 7:45:21 PM
I really wish I understood the lyrics to these bops
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:46:45 PM
I'll translate some! Was planning to anyway for the paper
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:46:57 PM
The story of karacaoglan cannot be told in one show
jimbeaux 7:57:39 PM
forgot to yelll...SELDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
jimbeaux 7:58:06 PM
TY cap'n!💥💥💥
TAndy 7:58:11 PM
Thank you for the show tonight Captain!
Matthew Snopenhauer 7:58:35 PM
Good show. Nice chewy middle.
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:58:53 PM
Thanks team!
richard lyons 7:59:09 PM
YES! Thank you Captain!
Captain Pledgehab (host) 7:59:12 PM
Jimbeaux I knew you were yelling on my behalf in the background
