Aaaand we're back! Greetings my morning friends/all day friends/radio comrades

Good morning Pup. Waiting to board a fairy to an Californian island right now

WestCoast TAndy! New character mod unlocked

How's the west coast weather faring today

This song is actually pretty appropriate for waiting to board a ferry

Cold as heck, there was a freeze warning when I woke up 3 hours ago. I may lose signal tho and apparently T-Mobile has nothing on the island so I'll be stuck lol

Sounds like a layering day then! If I'm seeing a cold and overcast day it's wool time

I just saw it's like 65 and raining there at home today, lucky.

Or wool blends, I'm open to options.. 100% wool can get super uncomfortable

Yeah its pretty nice over here on the east this morning

Speaking of wool blends and overcast mornings, Brown's Beach Jackets are still a personal grail of mine for thrifting/vintage

If you find one at a Goodwill, go buy a lottery ticket after

I need to go thrifting again when I go home. My last good find was the radio I have in my bedroom

GM Pup and TAndy!

It is kinda of springy of Zelda forest settlements like Kokiri Forest and Ordon Village

I can totally see that vision Ossy! GM DSM!

And Ossy!

Which island TAndy?

Hello DSM

Catalina, DSM. good morning everyone

The site of the famed wine mixer?

I thought it might be. I lived and worked on the Two Harbors (smoler) side of that island for 4 months. It was equal parts excellent and hell.

Tourist hell?

Tourist Hell and the Voidoids

I know nothing about Catalina island besides bison burgers and a mountain that takes a day to hike up to

Co worker hell, tourists were OK

Oh yeesh, sorry to hear that!

Haven't been to CA, but see so many beautiful places via TV and Google. Plus nature landscapes like the mountains

Yessir it is beautiful out here. Was pouring rain two days ago, snow capped mountains in the distance.

Incredible snorkeling and nature tho. There are buffalo there! Natalie Wood "drowned" there too.

Lovely Habitat Enrichment, especially the apex scary residents: cougars! :)

good to see Not Not Fun still putting stuff out

Buffalo/Bison are a majestic site to see and Wild Horses

Indeed Ossy. The wild horses on Assateague Island are so crazy to see

Off we go, possibly bye everyone :(

Scary Mountain Goats, another fascinating site, and Bighorn Sheep too!

Bighorn Shrimp

See ya, Tan

Enjoy the adventure TAndy!

xylobison

Good luck on the journey TAndy

And Big Goat Yak scallops

Grizzly Clams 🥶

lol Ossy

Loving the music this morning Pup

LOOOL to Wolf Crabs!!!!!

XYLOPRAWN >:)

With Wario Garlic 💛🌟🟡🧄

https://media.tenor.com/4f26C_e7wCgAAAAd/mario-strikers-battle-league-wario.gif

thank you thank you DSM 🤠

Wario Garlic breath is probably more effective than melatonin to go to sleep, that'd knock you right out

This track goes. Also I'm rocking the Flat Circle Radio shirt, I forgot about that!

Oh hey! Reppin' the ol stompin grounds out West, appreciate the footwork you're putting in

Man this beat makes me want to start juking

I wonder what it would've been like to see this live in japan in 1981

Probably still, I'm sure they still had cabaret laws around that time no?

Also one of the samples they use in this track sounds like the meme of the guy going "AAAUUUGH"

Hmmm I'm not too familiar with japan's cabaret laws actually

Though I've seen enough anime to know that host and hostess clubs have quite a storied history

"Dance is forbidden in nightclubs with dancefloors smaller than 66 square meters, or nightclubs that operate after 1am (midnight in some areas). While this rule has been mostly ignored for 50 years, arous 2011 it started to be enforced by the police in Osaka, Fukuoka and Tokyo."

Wild! I wonder what spurned the change in 2011

Surprised to hear that New York has the same deal going on too, results in expensive license fees

That's pretty surprising to hear, probably similarly ignored by venues/small clubs

If I went to Japan Tokyo would definitely be cool to see, but personally I would want to go to more remote/countryside/seashore/hot spring areas

Nah it's pretty strict actually. One of my favorite clubs closed down possibly for that reason years ago

Oh wow, well hey always some surprise lurking in each new day lol

RIP Cielo 3

Praise the clubs with proper sound systems

Pup for earlier - That's why Wario is a smelly scary guy, lmao. Shameless to do his stinky breath attack with girls like Peach, Pauline, Rosalina, Zelda etc around LMAO

From what I've learned about Hyrulian diets from playing Breath of the Wild, I can imagine Zelda could compete with Wario for having Wild Breath 🥴

I want to go to that snow monkey natural springs and resort in Nagano

Japan, the life and somewhere I'll love to go. The land of Akira Toriyama.

This is nice

A hot spring just sounds incredible, my body needs that relaxation

Thanks Brian! Welcome :)

Bringing the "Positive Vibes" today

Interesting to know, then again Zelda can be stinky in being kidnapped and royal duties, especially her gloved hands, sometimes. Some smash bros forum had this weird funny topic of what Smash characters are scented like, as Link has dirt, bloody sweaty scents of slaying numerous monsters and venturing lmao

These vibes are Puptastic 💯

Wario best matched against the smelly witch from Banjo Kazooie, Gruntilda 💚

Hi Christine

Thanks Christine! 😎

Oh man I can definitely see a Wario x Gruntilda battle

Yes, really enjoying this music

Is she playable in Smash Brothers yet? That would be an interesting character to add

Thanks Rob :)

I somehow still have signal on this boat

WPRB will always find you

Probably rocking it from the international space station as we speak

KAKAROT

Your signal lasted this long for you to join in on the WPRB ID haha

Hell yeah

We're halfway to the island too so maybe T-Mobile did up their game

The spring like weather is over 9000, indeed

Err, 4/10 of the way

Hey DJ Pup 🐶, Ossy 💚, West Coast TAndy 😎, Rob 🦅, Brian 📚 , & DSM 🍩 !

Hey Christine!

Have a wonderful trip @TAndy!

Pup - She's not in the Smashverse yet, but I think Gruntilda is a sticker or a spirit. Great for a fact, Sora is in it!

Do you think there will be another Smash on Switch? Or maybe they'll wait until the next console

Hey Christine! 🍩 😊

Though I did hear the Nintendo Switch has officially outsold the PS2 for most console sales

I can see Gruntilda giving insulting feedback on the players like some of Chi Chi's commentaries on DBZ Budokai Tenkachi series

I say no more smash, the dev team went above and beyond for this game and deserves some good rest

*no more switch smash

Uh oh losing bars

Devs deserve rest, this is true

"If its sleepy outside, they're sleepy too - let the devs sleep"

Oh this one's going to be a rabbit hole song

Very true, they had a long run. The least people can do to make downloadable hack mods to add to Smah Ultimate like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro

Spyro would be a fun character to play as

There's like three different versions with different lengths on YouTube lol

Also interesting if they made a Smash Bros Cinematic Universe

17, 14, and 3

Dude a smash cartoon movie or TV/Streaming special would be lit.

And Rayman too

Maybe the fans should ask Nintendo and Illumination to try that if the Mario movie does exceptionally well

I am curious to see how that Mario movie goes... I would almost want to see it in Japanese with subtitles after hearing Chris Pratt's Mario

The French dub of the movie seems to have a good Mario too

Some college schoolmates of mine, made Smash Hack characters and randomly joined in, chose Pichu Bros and was killing everyone, when it came to their final smash, Discharge, that instantly almost kills everyone, LOOOOL

LMAO hearing about smash mods is always hilarious

I love the mods where people add Mr. Krabs and Dio

Is Dio's finisher the Holy Diver?

They laughed when I chose Pichu against the big leagues, til the Discharge Final Smash LMAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOO

Yeah the little mouse is no joke

People made Kermit, Deadpool, Shrek and Courage Cowardly Dog for that hack LMAO. And some of character named Dat Boi

My go-to's were Peach and Samus, it got harder to follow as the character list expanded into Mortal Kombat sized territory

I saw Kermit and Skrek too. Pretty sure someone added Peter Griffin with Meg as a weapon and Joe as a assist

Raichu needs shocking love in Smash, since Pikachu and Pichu are regulars

I think I saw Griffin there and I think a Homer Simpson was there

From what I've seen in the 2000s, Brawl is the best

With the Sonic reveal and Lucario added

Oh yeah Lucario is also a personal fave

Also you were right this is one HELL of a track

Yeah this track just keeps going and going

I could never get into smash myself, too much meta

I have been tempted to buy the Metroid Prime remaster for Switch... loved playing it on Gamecube (sidenote from Smash tangent)

In fact I'd say this track is pretty Abnormal™ 😎

For as much as I love guitar, hearing a prog band fronted with saxophone is very refreshing

Wake me up when there's a prog band led by sousaphone

The only band in recent memory thats used sousaphones is the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble out of Chicago

Tan - There was actuslly kinda a Smash Bros anime, with Kid Icarus and Zelda, to promote Palutena and Dark Pit. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eFv7pLRSMaY

That's not only possible, here in WPRB it's probable.

Didn't know they made that animation Ossy thats cool

WPRB - making the possible probable since 1940

Snacktime Philly uses a Sousaphone, but they may not get too proggy.

I like that slogan, DJ Pup!

A Christine x Pup collaboration haha

I know right, Pup? Also the fact Zelda itself had a cartoon series, based on the 1986 game.

The tv series is very interesting haha

Link sounds like Aladdin there, LOOOL. "Well, excuse me, Princess!"

I also hear some Han Solo when I see that quote

And some of Yamcha

I feel like Yamcha drew a pretty short straw from the Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball Z changeover - Krillin too

I agree, TAndy.

Jimmy Smack gettin' it!

Finally I have signal again

Howdy Dave! and welcome back TAndy

Good morning DTO!

Hey

I'll be waking up at the crack of dawn again tomorrow so I may be able to catch your show

On west coast? Might miss most of it.

Nah I'll be waking up at around the start of the show

Maybe

Too damn early imo

It is but my friends fam wants to go to a camping area up in the mountains so I'll probably tag along. I don't know how MrM does it

That's an adventurous fun

Thank you for the show!

Cool show

Thanks for tuning in! :)

Island today, mountains tomorrow, TAndy making me itchy to get outside!

Thanks PuP! Great jams.

Breathtaking show and chat, have greats of mushroom hyrule smashing fun!

Thank you for the puptastic show, DJ Pup ✨️

>:) possibly the desert too. Have a good day everyone! Might pop in and out of Esotericas chat

Be good to yourselves- Readie!

Thanks everyone :) Stay safe out there and enjoy the week!

@ DJ Pup (host) Another awesome show! And I'm really enjoying this Astrud Gilberto-style finisher from Cots ...

That Cots EP is one of my favorites from the year so far! Dynamic and rich but also subtle in such a sweet way
