Desert Cruising Wed Jan 25 with Captain Ahab on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Oh look who’s here 6️⃣6️⃣6️⃣😈

sneaking into chat early eh??

No. You. What. No.

yes HI!

okey dokey away we go

Welcome back!

thanks! I am back in more ways than one

weird for my show to actually be at 3pm

I was in a large boxy superlative titled tech appliance music store once and a customer waited in the line , gave the checkout person a cd, there was much back n forth, staring at the tag, questions then... they scanned the bar code... and the price total was as indicated on the price tag: $0.00. Customer win

lol.

Where can one see this Earth documentary??

(Looks like it will be at festival(s) soon.)

https://www.evenhellhasitsheroes.com/screenings/

yeah we'll see! hopefully they screen nearby

Since it is an Earth documentary I assume it is narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

Pretty sure that is required by English law.

ALTIN GÜN 💚

Altin Gün just nailing it

Sir David Attenborough voice is engrained in the memory. Loved those "turn out the lights, start the projector or tv vcr school days"

This would mash up well with Heaven and Hell,

The moon is just the sun at night. A thief is just a lie in flight.

sludgey

The. Bass. It. Shall. Be. Low . And. Fuzz. So.

low and slow for a grey chilly day

ive got my storage cube parked outside the building and am not looking forward to lugging all my stuff up

but this kind of music will help

I always thought Dio sang the hell out of lyrics that didn't make much sense.

Appreciated the effort though.

Chelsea Handler thought so too Brian.

Totally . Schtick over substance. It worked

Showbiz

Maybe some of your metal minions are close by in MA to help Cap.

lol

Ahab Crew assemble!

Ahhhhh yesss...very psyched for the new Rotor.

Nightmares, thunder, dreams, rainbows, time, religious associated themes, crying out/ shouting.. all in the Dio stew ingredients

Queeg Queeg, Ashteego and....

Forgot the name of the third harpooner

Cap, I have someone up your way (former WPRB person) I think you should meet. Typing this now so I remember to connect you later...

What is a Holy Diver?

Eddie... pretty sure it was Eddie

thanks Jon! look forward to it

No, Eddie made the cheesesteaks

That dude last in line.

Hmm leap of faith kinda reference i would guess

This year I plan to go visit Medford and maybe Melville's house too, gotta fulfill my Ahab identity credentials

Deep that holy diving subject... so deep

Now that is cool!

Medfid. Medfaahd

Stay away from that preacher.

lol

Tel him you're after Icky Moe.

Not Medford, NEW BEDFORD

lol they sound the same

You thought you were back in Joisey.

i was confus

The holy diving is one thing... then he's off on jungle animals, cats large and small... jewels ... Ronnie gonna Ronnie

The whaling museum in New Bedford has a room (?) dedicated to a former WPRB DJ who died far too young.

really? who?

Yahmith. Bedfid. Chemsfid.

Maybe Dio had a turn on the Pequod.

Ben Powell. Quick research shows it might be an internship there in his name. He was a high school DJ and his dad was a DJ who used to have the time slot you / I are in for many years.

Addled hus mind.

https://obits.nj.com/us/obituaries/trenton/name/benjamin-powell-obituary?id=13953757

Wow. Cool info there

Why did they honor him in this way?

I believe he and his family spent a lot of time up in that corner of the country.

really interesting, sad, but even more of a reason to go visit

Oh, so his family endowed an internship in his name...I had a friend whose family did something like this.

The address line in that obit includes the words "Johnny Cake Hill". Now THAT is a New England address.

This is a sound and a half here Ahab

speaking of accents, I made the hilarious/horrifying discovery over the weekend before i flew back that the way my husband pronounces Car Key and Khaki is identical

I'd expect that is vital information that should be disclosed much earlier.

lol, too late now the ink is dry!

Like saying "water" then switching to woooder a couple years later.

Spent a summer in Boston and one of the local grad students had the gall to say I talked funny.

LOL

the accents here are something else, truly

When you can't find the implement to start your vehicle and are wearing casual pants things are going to get wonderfully confusing.

The former head of my dept and the main admin lady were both from Medford so whenever they were in the room together Medfordese dominated

lol Jon I had to ask him three times to explain before I realized he was saying khaki

Yesterday I added a new word to my vocab...I learned waht a Bubbler is.

It's where I'd get some wooder in Massachusetts

Ya the British pronunciation of khaki is odd at first kaw-kee

throat warbler mangrove

Whoah!

they also pronounce lieutenant as Lef-tenant

which is just

what

there are no Fs!

Now if someone could just explain why my mom says "warshing machine."

Ya. Trying to aprrox the French pronunciation but going on a lieut turn there

Doesn't that have something to do with Norman influence on Britisg English!

Funny.

perhaps, does it have an F sound in French??

My grandmother from western Pa def said warsh

No it does not Ahab but i could see then morphing from the French to adding an f sound maybe

She's from Perth Amboy!

Have learned moments ago this is called "The intrusive R."

A 7th grade evil nun once told one of us to go to the office to ask for a rubber. We had no clue what she meant, laughed out loud and incurred her torturous wroth.

James always has a bit of 'penny dropped' moment whenever I point these things out

yeah Jon, he says Lawr and Order

Indiar and China

That Sabbath Bloody Sabbath riff gets another homage

he was shocked when I pointed it out

I maintain that Philadelphia is the birthplace of the nation; therefore we speak correct American English and it's everyone else who has an accent.

Now that's a sentiment I can support Bud.

A cousin Sheilar from Lon Guy Land studying lawr

Right on, Bud.

So if you'se will excuse me, I'm gonna sit on my stoop and have a drink of wooder.

RIght there in da shtreet.

Ya the final added "r" is to make it easier going between a word that ends in a vowel to a next word that starts with a vowel . To avoid that loss of breath glottal stop

But then... to take it too far... people started adding that final r sound even when it wasn't needed

when the Rs go too far

Royt deer een da shtreet

Someone always has to take it too far and spoil it for everybody.

I like how you say it Bri

Day took eet too farrr and den droave dere Tayota crosst da Tyconee bridge and gone dee-own da shee-ore

It's funny how I talk at work and how I tawk at home.

I'm pretty much unable to turn off my "Philly brogue"

Wouldn't work out if I switched it up.

Ohhh no. That is not how i say it ha. 54 years in Phila area but the accent escaped me. Probably due to mom from Chicago area and dad from Western Pa

With great difficulty I can force myself to say "wahter", but it's uncomfortable.

That will do it Brian. I know someone from Mass. who has no N.E. accent whatsoever. Her father is Canadian.

Accents are wonderful! As much as it's fun to tease sometimes, how boring would it be if we all spoke the same

One of the smartest guys I know has a thicker Philly accent than I do. He males no effort to change it.

Agreed, Cap.

Then there's the children who say "oh i can't even hear my parent's accent..." k

I do think that, in the circles i traverse, my accent has been a source of disrespect.

Just finally binged all of The Wire. 20 years late to party. They only had a select few actors do the Bawlmer (Baltimore) accent. Some were actors born in Philly i noticed. . They could get it easy. Dominic West made no attempt. I could hear his British vowels creeping in there from time to time

My wife and I watched "Mare of Easttown" together. To her ear, everyone was speaking neutral, unaccented English :)

Real "Mississippi Queen" guitar tone on this one.

Just watched that too. They made a good attempt. Maybe overdid the "o" s. But they never got the dee-own and other things. Like loyk. Mondee Tuesdee etc.. oh well

Before the show ends, I want to thank both the music and the chat today. It's been a gloomy day that seeped into my psyche today. I didn't think I'd participate in the chat today. But the show put me in a good and effudsive mood. Thanks Cap, and everyone!

When this first came on I thought it was Mississippi Queen!

I'm from

aww Mike I'm so glad!

though I'm sorry you were down

I think my all-time favorite minor celebrity interaction was seeing Leslie West at the gastroenterologist.

I'm from Chicago, lived in Philly a while back was mercillessy taunted for my pronunciation of 'roof' and 'air conditioning'

Now that's funny!

I ran into Pete Rose on the Phlly subway. Shocked that he was riding public transportation.

It also took me a while to figure out what "wudder ice" was. We call it a slushy

Straight outta the 70s tone def

Slushies are from 7-11

For some reason I always think Leslie West was English, and I'm always re-surprised that he spent most of his life on the East Coast of the US.

How much you wanna bet that Pete Rose is still gambling on baseball (sorry not sorry)

Eyetalian wooder ice

Also, Tasty Cakes were brand new. Hostess rules here

I'll bet he has himself on a dead pool.

Ok, that's funny! What does he get if he wins?

riff engages the stankface

Leslie is Long Guy Land to the max (was RIP). He used to lapse into the Porky Pig exaggerated stutter effect in interviews ... uh-ba-dee-ba-duh-ba-dee-ba-duh.. what..

He gets into the Halll of fame

Did someone say Netherlands

there he is!

ooooh. This is good! Good show, Captain!

Matt was lurking. but probably headbanging

Headbangin in the snow

frozen wooder?

That Earth doco looks intriguing

We just made a sheet pan cake of Kandy Kakes peanut butter chocolate topped yellow cake. Wayyyyy better than Tasty makes it I must say. They replaced flavor with preservatives n stuff long ago

Holy guacamole Brian D 😋

Usually do half and half Kandy Kakes half homemade Krimpets but we ran out of butterscotch chips to melt

Those lil butterscotch bastards are addictive

That's a Philly jawn Brian. Gotta try it myself.

Oooh I like this

We found some great chocolate chips/ discs that are better at room temp for that topping. They melt great. Then when they chill the choc isn't like tooth shattering. Good stuff

I had a store bought actual Tasty Cake krimpet few years ago. Boo. No flavor at all. Just like eating air

Krimpets need to be properly aged before eating. At least a year.

Blast beats!

It would be interesting if there were an independent bakery that made Tastycake knock-oofs, without calling them Tastycakes.

3/$1 Tastycake oatmeal raisin bars were many a breakfast for me on the way to school growing up.

If they had been called "cookie bars" then like they are now instead of "breakfast bars"...

Haven't had one of those in a while. They were great.

Space slug! Little known Star Wars ep VI character: Ghoel, a philosophical space slug who tries to lick C3PO's head

Often have a "protein bar" for lunch - usually rushed for time. It's a candy bar!

Plus when making them at home you get to put a THICK layer on top! Sheesh they cheap out with a paper thin layer of icing now (aka icening in Philly speak)

Show is too short. We need an Ahabathon.

ICENING 🧁

Jimmies or sprinkles?

Iceninged Earth

Jimmies forevah

HA

Matt dropping a Ghoel reference in the chat like it was nothing!

haha "jimmies" all the way

You got it Jon 😂🤣

Can't wait to hear a band called Exogorth on Desert Cruising.

"sprinkles" meant something else whan I was a small child...

Exogorth rules

OMG, I'm worried about catching diabetes just reading the chat.

A1C, down with Rebelsus

Lol Roff. You can beat the beetus!

Great show, Captain!

Thanks for the great tunes, Captain!

Thanks for the tunes Capt'n. Just right for the cooking hour. :)

Another Grand Show! Thanks, DJ Captain Ahab!

Wonderful afternoon!

Dystopium! Welcome back Ahab

thanks all!

Another treat for all of us. Thanks, Cap.

catch you next week

Solly up next, dont touch the dial unless you wanna lose that finger

Great one Ahab
