Still reeling from the final show. Great to hear your voice again!!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:09:26 PM
eyyyy I miss you all! So nice to be back on the air
Captain Ahab (host) 3:09:40 PM
I was nervous I would forget how this all works
Captain Ahab (host) 3:09:50 PM
but it's like riding a bike
Captain Ahab (host) 3:09:54 PM
CUE MUSIC
Parrscream 3:10:30 PM
New Slomosa! You got me into their previous album on your show! So excited for this new album now!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:10:45 PM
Hell yeah!
Debbie Fullerton 3:11:02 PM
The Captain's back! I am ready to Cruise the Desert this afternoon \m/
Captain Ahab (host) 3:11:24 PM
hey Debbie! so nice of you to stop by
Debbie Fullerton 3:13:52 PM
I actually saw your name on the sub sheet last night so I immediately put an alarm on my phone :D
Captain Ahab (host) 3:13:59 PM
Jon you have a new profile pic! What is this
Captain Ahab (host) 3:14:13 PM
so much has changed
Captain Ahab (host) 3:14:25 PM
awwww thanks Debbie
Mike Tropiano 3:14:45 PM
Quelle surprise! Happy I tuned in today.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:15:06 PM
hey Mike!
Ossy 3:15:06 PM
Hi return of the desert ahab
Captain Ahab (host) 3:15:13 PM
ahoy Ossy
Mike Tropiano 3:17:40 PM
Yo Cap and all ye mateys.
Ossy 3:19:49 PM
aaargggh - mr krabs
Mike Tropiano 3:19:50 PM
I'm working from home today 9midterms due next week). Otherwise, I wouldn't have tuned in. At my new job (full time yay!) the walls are thin and I know, even when I keep it down, everyone knows me as "that music guy". At least there's one other person who has similar taste.
Ossy 3:20:26 PM
awesome stuff!!!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:20:35 PM
oof grading! but yay job!
Ossy 3:20:50 PM
ah that time of midterms, the academic life
Mike Tropiano 3:21:32 PM
Drudgery and torture, with AI written drolleries on top.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:22:59 PM
yeeeep.
Mike Tropiano 3:24:23 PM
In many ways, I am a "black sheep" at work, which is a big reason why this Pequod felt so welcoming.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:24:51 PM
all aboard
Travis in MST 3:26:22 PM
Welcome back Ahab! I miss the Monday morning metal!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:26:43 PM
hey Travis! I do too <3
Captain Ahab (host) 3:27:24 PM
even on break I get stress dreams about hosting a radio show though, it's wild
Captain Ahab (host) 3:27:52 PM
Just last week I dreamt that I was trying to host my show while at a baseball game (???) using the public wifi
Captain Ahab (host) 3:28:28 PM
I think it's the dissertation stress just creeping into the other parts of my brain though
Mike Tropiano 3:28:36 PM
What would Freud say?
Mike Tropiano 3:28:57 PM
That's astute analysis.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:29:39 PM
something about the phallic nature of baseball bats I reckon
Mike Tropiano 3:30:10 PM
Sometimes a bat is just a bat.
Mike Tropiano 3:30:42 PM
And bats hit balls.
Mike Tropiano 3:31:09 PM
Maybe a bat is never just a bat, then.
Colin 3:32:59 PM
So glad i'm actually in my office and able to catch the subbin show!!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:33:12 PM
hey Colin! good to see you
Colin 3:34:40 PM
i turned up the desk stereo so anybody close to my office gets to hear the show too.... and they will all thank me later
Mike Tropiano 3:35:48 PM
Colin, could we move our offices next to each other/ My immediate neighbor (an extremely nice person who is a friend) has Taylor Swift posters on her door.
Colin 3:38:32 PM
I believe Swifties would love desert cruising. Scene unity is the only way!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:42:53 PM
the more the merrier me thinks
Colin 3:44:34 PM
scuttlebutt is that mrs swift is shredder on the guitar..
Mike Tropiano 3:46:00 PM
Would that shredder be a chief of the flying v?
Mike Tropiano 4:01:20 PM
My office mate has placed life-sized human anatomy posters on either side of our door. She doesn't suspect how fitting that is to the space. I call him Milo (cause he's goin to colleg).
.Fräncis 4:02:10 PM
WOOHOO Nice to hear you back Capt. Miss Ahab
Joe Christinzio 4:03:35 PM
I miss this show so much! Always made for an awesome, high volume drive home.
Jon Solomon 4:03:36 PM
Andy Zaltzman is on the new season of Taskmaster.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:06:34 PM
interesting! I've watched a bit of british taskmaster, but I gravitate more towards the kiwis, dunno what that says about my taste in humor
Captain Ahab (host) 4:06:53 PM
hi Francis! And Joe!
Rob from Maryland 🦅 4:09:54 PM
Hello Captain
Captain Ahab (host) 4:11:26 PM
hi Rob!
Colin 4:16:06 PM
lol to both mike T. I love when people are unknowingly punking it up a bit
Travis in MST 4:17:50 PM
Any Bongshitter on today's playlist?
Captain Ahab (host) 4:20:40 PM
lol nah, keeping it kosher
Colin 4:24:51 PM
New Goat! 😍
Mike Tropiano 4:24:53 PM
Sounds a bit Anatolian with the jangly guitar and beat.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:25:44 PM
agreed! I can never resist Goat when they put out new music
Mike Tropiano 4:29:28 PM
Damn, I LOVE this music!
christopher thacher 4:41:21 PM
Mike...agreed!!
Ossy 4:41:58 PM
So sludegy diabolical delightful
Brian D 4:51:49 PM
This was just right today. Good to hear the 'hab back in action. Great selections! Cruise on...
Mike Tropiano 4:52:34 PM
Hey Cap'n, any idea when, and at what time, you;d start cruising out of WESU?
Captain Ahab (host) 4:56:26 PM
Gonna do my DJ training Spring semester, so hopefully I can start in the summer
Mike Tropiano 4:57:10 PM
You'll be busy with the day job!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:57:14 PM
Very excited! They are keen for me to join so I'm really looking forward to it
Mike Tropiano 4:57:24 PM
Great!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:57:27 PM
Oh I know but I gotta have something to distract me from the AI essays
Mike Tropiano 4:57:55 PM
Hear ya, I'm neck deep right now.
Ossy 4:58:13 PM
TFS Broly - THAT'S HOT 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Mike Tropiano 4:58:16 PM
I will keep my anteannae on lookout.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:59:34 PM
beep boop beep i will broadcast direct to the brainwaves
Mike Tropiano 4:59:47 PM
If it's not being intrusive, I would like to have a read of the thesis, if ti is going to be available to the public.
Mike Tropiano 5:00:05 PM
I stick the antenna into my skin.
Captain Ahab (host) 5:00:22 PM
shoot me an email at desertcruising@gmail.com, Matt Sabbath wants to zoom in to my defense too!
Mike Tropiano 5:00:53 PM
Will do!
Captain Ahab (host) 5:00:54 PM

Mike Tropiano 5:01:11 PM
Peace and love!
