"Gila Monster" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Desert Cruising Wed May 24 with Captain Ahab on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Let us tread the path Black Sabbath laid out

hey hey it is Wednesday!!

I am back from Bisonland

Welcome home!

Bison BC seems in order

Hello, Captain. How are the bison?

Bison are stoney creatures

Geyser = water shooting up from ground. Geezer = bassist in Black Sabbath.

Giza Butler = Sleep song.

Flex is gonna paint the town brown.

JAAW ! Ex-Therapy? Nice

@Jon, that's perfect!

Ha! I tried to search "Ex-Therapy?" and got a bunch of couple's counseling links...

Couples counseling is Big Business (to make a pun)

The band is named after the member name initials

JAWA would have been an amusing alternative

Trademarked & Lucas dont play

lol

What was that sound? Was it a B i s o n ??

bubbling bison

or rather, the sound of gurgling geysers!

I def heard a few that sounded like that

Earth bong

Hey all, I missed Captain's opening break, was there a bison harvested?

A bison flabbing it’s lips

High Leaf recall Warrior Soul

Some bison were definitely harvested in Wyoming. I had an amazing bison egg and cheese bfast sammich

Bisonroll egg & cheese, if you please, on a kaiser bun

HUH - how big are Bison eggs?

I didn't know bison laid eggs!

Cool, cool. Sounds delicious.

lol YoU GuYz

It's 3:15 and I'm still hungry. I could totally eat a bison(-sized) egg and cheese sandwich right now

Chef Emeril hear that? 🛎️

I have had ostrich egg, and also an ostrich burger. Egg was GIANT, but the burger was suporisingly normal sized. Go figure.

Ostrich is good meat. Ornery MFers. I lived by ostriches in CA.

I've had bison burgers and ostrich burgers, both some time ago.

LOL - when I lived by Princeton, I passed a farm w/ Emus. Now I'm in Sonoma, and still have Emus close by. Bison burgers are awesome

My older cousin was an OG Cliff Burton wasteoid & loved playing Joust in ye olde arcade w/ its ostrichback battles

Francis, check out Prairie Sun Studios in Cotati, see if the ostriches are still there. Some desert rock recorded there incidentally (Melvins et al)

Will do, as I work in Santa Rosa.

I like this much more than I expected!

lol Jon

Anyone ever see the flowchart of what to listen by KGTLW look here https://i.redd.it/k7dy0fnnb9x81.jpg

Hey Captain, I have a Turkish question. How would you translate "aman aman"? Someone dubbed that into the classic Muppets Mahna Mahna video.

Also, they're apparently playing Harvard on Friday?!

boston calling!

It's amusing to see KG&TLW performing a song named after an actual lizard

I'm not going bc tickets are kind of spenny if the only bands I'm into are QOTSA and KGLW

Ahhhhhh. Nice. Worried it might be some private thing.

If only they were Harvard's graduation speaker.

but I'm going to stand outside and see if I can hear lol

I'll keep my eyes open for comps.

Gila monsters are badass. I went down the 🐇🐰hole. I love un-tameable creatures.

If Taylor Swift in Philly is any indicator, you will 100% be able to hear.

Didn't they also do Rattlesnake?

I could hear Taylor Swift down here in Maryland!

*just kidding

Rob: aman aman means like "oh man oh man" in some contexts, or also "oh no! oh no!" in like contexts where an accident is about to happen

A friend could hear the show pretty clearly from her house. 1.7 miles from the stadium. Indoors.

wowser

That's pretty far away. I'd probably be upset, and I like Taylor Swift

You know who were meant to play Friday but had to reschedule? The Anatolian Rock legends The Mongols!!

So many people flocked to the stadium to listen from outside the New England venue changed their policies to keep folks away!

how very unlike New England

New England hospitality ayup.

To be fair, Gillette Stadium is comparatively more remote than Lincoln Financial Field.

But...yes.

Francis: yes I love their track rattlesnake!

maybe they'll cycle through all the lizards

and serpents

and slithery things

Rattlesnake is good meat

@Captain, thanks! I asked the Turk on Twitter who retweeted what that word was, and they said it meant "oh my". But Google Translate said "good bye", so I thought I'd ask you. They were comparing the repetition in the video with the ramblings of Devlet B.

can't say I've ever had it

haha good bye is definitely no correct, oh my oh my is also accurate

I've had alligator meat but I don't think I've eaten rattlesnake. I'd love to try it though

I've had all sorts of critters. Rattlesnake and alligator taste like chicken - yep. not too exciting.

@Captain, I wasn't doubting either of you two Turks! But since there was a discrepancy I wanted to ask you. Thanks again!

I got it! Glad I could help

Doubt everything - Hume

Yesssss Yawning Man

@Captain, the final word on my question. Typing "Aman aman" in Google Translate gives me "oh my goodness". I had typed "aman aman". Grrr/Derp

Venus below moon sliver last night in rural NJ, purty cool 🌛

@Rob, huh, kind of weird the capital A made the difference,

Capitalization matters

@Captain, yeah, it's a bit odd

In the film Cube Zero they only get outta the cube prison cuz they realize commas could indicate Cartesian coordinates

Or more specifically x, y, z cube info

@Mattster, that's an interesting plot

How was the Cube re-make Mattster?

Remake 👍 Updated for Japanese fears about their low birth rates, youth mental illness (hikikomori), generational conflict (company men), AI

I had a similar experience many years ago crabbing with my grandparents in the puget sound, I was reading off coordinates to him but read single digits as the just the number (2, not 02) and we nearly lost the floats

commas ended up in the wrong places

we found em in the end!

A wrong hyphen destroyed a million dollar NASA unmanned launch, code was goofed up.

You found the commas?

yeah they were hiding in the bottom of the boat

Wasn't there another NASA mission that was screwed because some set of units was in metric not English or vice versa?

Schools need to teach grammar & not indoctrination

once upon a time I tried getting a minor in comp sci, a missing comma was enough to spend hours debugging code, I did not continue with the minor lol

Hee hee. There are some butterflies called Comma, one of them flies in NJ and MD

There's an X Files episode about a haunted doll pulled up in a lobster trap LOL

And the whole episode is subtext for 90s wave feminism, but episode was written by Stephen King

The comma butterflies get their name because of a white curved line on the underwing, which looks like a comma

Very cool Rob MD

Ahab are you doing Anatolian Hour?

Next week's episode!

@Matt, one of them has a white dot near the 'comma' so it is called a Question Mark

That sounds really cute, gonna look up these butterflies

Love it Rob, cross-disciplinary

they are really beautiful

I'll try to tune in next week, I love the Anatolian hours

@Mattser, and a nerd

Nature studies + English reinforces both 👍🦋

They are beautiful butterflies

That's a great station promo!

The singer Tina Turner has died, I just saw

RIP Tina! She ran Bartertown/Thunderdome!

woah, I just saw the news

RIP

Tina's legs were insured. #fact

JOE DON FUCKING BAKER

Fletch's nemesis

Joe Don Baker = still alive (I checked)

WHEW thank you Jon

Given how today has gone (and the fact that I hadn't refreshed the playlist) I wasn't sure!

Last of the old school badasses

Generalissimo Francisco Franco?

I misread that as John Doe Baker and thought, so that's the X-member's real name?

STAY WITH US JOE DON, YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE

*and the X song "Los Angeles" started playing in my head

Lol Rob

I told you, I'm a nerd! (in specific fields)

nerds rule!

Speaking of not refreshing the playlist often enough, I now see the song called "Joe Don Baker" ...

(loud Booger belch from Revenge of the Nerds)

Joe Don B takes on a pack of feral dogs in one movie and whoops every last one

And he does this without a cellphone

Good for him!

Even better without a cellphone

Vulture Industries, great name

Vulture Industries, Richard B. Cheney speaking.

I enjoyed today's program. Thank you!

Great show, Cap. Front-loaded my schedule to avoid Princeton as much as possible from when I get off the air this evening through Memorial Day!

I enjoyed the show, Captain. Let's hope for good news to accompany the Anatolian hour next week

Thanks Jon! Was wondering how things are going at the barge, must be a bit chaotic now with the crowds

No crowds yet and I think I have a "avoid downtown" route planned should it come to that...

But starting tomorrow it is gonna be a mess!

Thanks Mike!

Ohhh good luck

Thx dude. I texted a friend in Boston to keep an eye out for Boston Calling comps for ya...

Ending with a BANG, leave'em wanting morew.
