WE ARE LIVE

AHOY

Here we go!

I am not so much so Ahab, but thanks for the inclusion.

RIP

Bah! :)

We bringing the noise

DOOM SQUARED

WE HUNT THE ALBINO SEABEAST

I see your doom squared, and cube it, Ahab

And then there was math

Laser (eye) focus on the riffs today.

That made me bang my head, alone, at my desk.

Lol Jason

WPRB Hypnotic Cheese fake tattoos, stickers n pins will give you laser eyes as well

I had my college journey in Laser/Electro Optics. Eyes will burn.

Cheers Doom squared. Bring the fuzz!

Keep wprb burning like a pennsylvania mine fire

lol @Matt

Caledonia !!!!

My wprb bottle opener is still a virgin since I dont drink LOL. I should buy a bottle o pop.

Excuse me, Centralia !!!

I've opened quite a bit with the wprb bottle opener now and it holds up! Paint job is solid

Nebula 😍 (fu manchu tends to get all the attention)

@Mätt, I have the bottle openers too. I just don't do those kind of parties anymore. That are cool, but I surly do not need another. lol

Matt - my son thought the bottle opener was cool, so I gave it to him to take to college

Lol Roff 🍻

Rob F excellent move #cooldad

Sounds like the bottle opener is popular. It gets regular use here.

"family heirloom bong"

I don't want to give away the beach towel though

My WPRB bottle opener is hanging reverently on a hook in the kitchen, next to the bottle opener that I actually use. It'll be passed down for generations.

I think the heirloom thing is about right Mätt.

Rob F keep the towel, a la Hitchhiker Guide to Universe

NICE BUD

Towel? Oh yea. Looking forward to that!

INTO THE VOID!

WE BLASTIN OFF

Into the Void 👨‍🚀👩‍🚀🛰️

Vibrating in low C# from here on out... synapses realigned

One of the first albums I ever had. This was quite good for so many reasons.

Iommic rubber band bends..(t.m.)

This riff

Master of Reality lp!

This riff is banned in 39 countries

Due to its high levels of thc, radiation, and evil

I think my copy is a Dutch pressing. Embossed/ raised lettering. That clear coat had been peeling off for decades

Nice Roff! ⏺️

BRIAN D DAMN YOU. DUTCH PRESSING 🤯

This riff is played with vice grips

Brian's copy is extra stoney

It's brillient and restricted unto it's own right. It's really very, very good.

This riff killed a flu strain in 1972

I don't really know or care about pressings in diff countries... i bought it in the 80s from one o the used record stores. Probably Positively Records. Cheap 4-5 bucks ha

Crazy Eddie LOL Brian D

I just noticed right away when I bought it some 30 - 40 yrs ago that the lp cover was really thin

Electric Wizards will need to convert to Solar by 2030

DUNWICH MAN DUNWICH (dwarf hides behind Stonehenge)

LOLOLOLOL Jason

SUN WIZARD

Crazy Eddie! His prices are INSANE!

Love me some dunwich horrors

Bendy shiny thin cardboard, white on inside. Not like the pulpy grade card stock usually on lp covers in the 70s 80s

I bought Rush CARESS OF FUCKING STEEL at Crazy Eddie

Good stuff Brian D, I am jelly

Manhattan Dreams

Witchcult Today sounds like a magazine

Did everyone save their LPs from back in the day, or did they get donated in one way or another?

Lost in the flood Jäsön.

My fave Sabbath item was the sheet music book. Lo fi grey/ black/ white cover with some shattered glass logo. And funny lyric substitutions to clean things up ha (.. would you like to see the pipe on the end of a rope.. was one of them... another was: "smokin and trampin' is all that you do...).

I would 100% subscribe to witchcult today

@Roffle Arrrgghh...

Lol Flex, I'll send a representative by to subscribe you

Get me that sweet discount

Brian D WHAT!! A socially-scrubbed Sabb tab book?!

SMOKIN AND TRAMPIN

@Jäsön, so many floods in my life. I just know that I am here now. And I can download shit for days. :)

For stating power chords above the measure instead of say "A5" or 'A 5th" they typed "A" with a 3 that had a slash over it. "THIRDS BE BANNED HERE IN SABBATH LAND! NO THIRD SHALL RING"

YOU SHALT NOT PASS WITH THAT DEMON CHORD FINGERING

Well you know.. pipe at the end of a rope.. for the stoners in the shower that just can't wait! Only $19.95! Call now.....

Dropping a third is so Irish. lol

Dropping a third with Irish accent ha! NOT FCC APPROVED (see Tin Lizzy pronunciation)

Major Airwaves and General Frequency

restraining yourself from disintegrating with those laser eyes.

Witchcult Today is the new Rolling Stone

Good riffs always border on evil

Funeral Dirges!

20-minute funeral dirge epics rule

Nebula indeed doesn't get enough love! More funeral dirges!

No Dirge Purge

20 minute funeral dirges give listeners time to find their wallets to donate!

Nae Dirgis Walpurgis

That's right - bring the love, pledgers! Cheers, Cap'n + Flex!

I did genuinely get a little excited when I heard nebula

What's Matt's home address?

666 , obviously

Brian D speaking in tongues! Let loose brother!

Lol DSM

Lol Jen

Those tattoos and the beach towel = HOT SUMMER

100% resting funeral dirge face

HOT SUMERIAN NIGHTS

Nice to have these guys both.

Haaaaaaa Colin

If the dog licks these off, will it die?

🎂 hb Solly! 🏆

I play funeral dirges, too, but a different sort. Loved the Nebula

Tattoos that is. Not the rest of the burrito.

hey Jen!

Loving the show today as always -- even better with Flex L onboard! What a pledge show!

Had Busse Woods on in the car today, this time of year is AK for me

Hiya!!

🤘🏻

I didn't realize there was new acid king out so this is exciting!

Ahab make sure Flex checks out Eagle Twin. Get violent with him if need be, it's for his own good 🦅🦅

Sludge Desert Cruising

So who is where now. Are you watching rowing crews on the Charles River in Cambridge or on the Schuylkill? lol

Flex is at my apt next to the Charles! I join him tomorrow night

Sgt Sunshine !! Officer Friendly

Nice! Hope the weather up there is nice too!

I miss you guys being metal bookends.

Old Wednesdays of course.

Flex I finally watched RZ's Halloween remake and dare say kinda liked it 🔪

We were just talking about that season! Wild programming days

It was too much for the airwaves to handle

There's some good qualities from that movie! Def not my favorite but I do like some of the choices

I hated the second one though

I remember disliking the RZ Halloween when it came out, but I'd be interested to revisit it again

https://media.tenor.com/QLRfVx1VuhwAAAAC/vegeta-ssbe.gif

Watched "Evil Toons" on FreeVee the other night, was silly stoopid fun

I have it on me list DSM LOL

Evil Chunes

Cursed blips starting again

Nice Matt! It was better than I thought it would be

play this at my funeral plz

HERE WE GO

LIFT OFF WE HAVE LIFT OFF

OMG

This is like Chong playing Black Sabbath at 78 rpm

Al Cisneros sounds like a fukn 👽

OMG it's like when you find a burned cd under your car seat and stick it in LOL

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

The percussion is doing code

I bet people are calling the police rn lolololol

It's amazing how there is no "wrong" speed for 'Dopesmoker'

We zooming through the riff filled lands

Good point Teresa

Throat singing Monk Cisneros

It has a nice waltz-y quality at 900% speed.

Lol Brian D

Pike solos at 900%

Feels like a ritual song

WHAT

EDM SMOKER bit there in middle

whoa unexpected that Chinese banjo sounding part

Am shook

Jeez Mätt, Sometimes I wish people would call the police. But whatever. Safe and sound, so let's rip.

Chinese witch playing banjo

FCC on line two Ahab.

Chinese witch! LOL My girlfriend is Chinese, I will keep that one in the wallet. :)

Speedsmoker

I love how they played this sans warning

LOLOLOLOL DSM

I'm trying to catch up on the first half of the show, playing it at 20x

Lol Roff ✊

IT IS NOW CANON. (gavel bangs)

No, that's not the FCC! That's Esoterica at the drive-thru window mike at KFC. [riffing on yesterday's Wilbo/Esoterica team-up]

That was like the death spice train in that Mandolorian episode.

Slowsmoker?

Dopesmoker at 1/8 speed!

MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE SMOKER

Just tuned in.DJ flex Luther and captain Ahab what a treat!

Ha!

IYKYK

I am shaking after Speedsmoker

I just called my lawyer

I just took all my money out of the bank

LOLOLOLOL DSM

@Mätt, She is a world class geneticist. Sometimes bossy as fuck too! Total witch stuff. lol

Just needed my inhaler after Dopesmoker900

Lol Roff, I was once married to a sassy Filipina for a long while ✊

Thanx Anonymous !

OMG, Asian don't play silly shit at all. LOL

Thanx Eric! Or Erik in viking

PLODGE

🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Sveden loves the fuzz pedal

omg bud 1/8 speed :O

From Örebro, Sweden

ÖreBRO, bro

Dopesmoker does not exist in time it seems

Lol Roff. Outside spacetime

I remember when Dopesmoker came out, it was confusing to me. Is the band name Sleep or the album name? Small ads in the back of music rags

It was advertised strangely so it took awhile to develop cult following

I feel for the drummer of the cover band. Institutional.

Yob 💓

This song belongs on the second Voyager satellite golden record

Vol. 2

I'm a bigger fan of our raw heart but this album does rule

Oh my bad misread your message thought you said this album but this song

So funny that this roar comes from a lil hippylooking dude in Yob. Like DJ Ahab, softspoken but plays roaring music

I find it normal when I am not at the end of the world but can only see it from here to misread things. Kinda fun.

This YOB track is so heavy -- sooooo great!!!

Yob take no prisoners

Adrift on the Ocean like Chris Elliott in Cabin Boy

Just got word that Dopesmoker900 exploded my kidney stones, so thank you wprb

Thesis: medical uses of doom music

you can donate the money you would have spent at the doctors :)

If yall are lookin for something funny, check out Matt Pike Hunts Bigfoot on youtube, it's gold 🦍

Pike takes his cryptids seriously & reverentially

And it kicks in!

We were somewhere outside Barstow

🌵

There is a roller coaster that helps with kidney stones; https://www.livescience.com/56261-kidney-stones-roller-coaster.html

Hey yer not one of them fancy lads are you? (Cabin Boy)

Oh chit DSM that's awesome 🎢

Haaa Brian D. Broth must be a fancy word for chum.

the mighty Monolord

https://youtu.be/mW8QdoPzD_U

Dave does the cameo greatness

Cabin Boy is one of the greatest films

Ann Magnuson of Bongwater ! 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️

I def need to revisit Cabin Boy

Cabin Boy is metal

Whoa that was a fasssst 2 hours! Thanks Ahab and Flex! See(hear) ya tomorrow!

420. Play the hacky sack Aqua Teen ID LOLOL

Maybe I'll finally watch "Evil Bong" tomorrow

I started 420 a day early

EVIL BONG

DSM I think there is a whole Evil Bong franchise, a saga

beach towel also functions perfectly as a work place cape.

Towelwhip the beach nerds with a wprb towel

Oh man, even better Matt! My fave horror is the endless franchise kind for real!

ARGHHH! Just got here and show's over!

Towelwhip JAWS with a wprb towel 🦈

Great show! Thick slabs of desert beef. Seeya all 4/20

😊⭐

Thank you all, we love you!

Thanks for tuning in y'all!!!
