Did not expect to see a doctor today. But such is our lives.
Roffled Feathers 3:03:41 PM
Hi Ahab!
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:03:50 PM
Howdy!
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:04:00 PM
Nice to see the gang assembled
Roffled Feathers 3:06:09 PM
Definitely gangland shit going on.

Gotta remember to add O.G. to title 🤩
Mike Tropiano 3:06:56 PM
The Doctor bangs even when she ventures out of her wheelhouse. CREAM!
Roffled Feathers 3:10:51 PM
Crossroads is where the deal is made for sure. For all of us.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:11:33 PM
Goal is 700 recurring donors and projections have WPRB under 100 recurring donors from that benchmark!
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:11:46 PM
Wow! So close
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:11:51 PM
Fab news
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:13:21 PM
pledge.wprb.com, as they say.
Roffled Feathers 3:19:21 PM
This station is a phenomenon. Much shall be said.
Mochi Studios 3:19:47 PM
My kid is singing along. Apparently Lana del Rey did a cover.
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:20:11 PM
she did!
Bud Burroughs 3:22:42 PM
Mmmmm, this playlist keeps getting better!
Jason _ 3:23:13 PM
Do we still refer to this as "classic rock" or am I dating myself?
Mike Tropiano 3:25:23 PM
Seeds of Doom
Mochi Studios 3:27:27 PM
Black light posters and roach clips with feathers attached
Mike Tropiano 3:31:09 PM
Expected the usual Desert fare today, but this is a welcome diversion.
christopher thacher 3:32:25 PM
Greetings doctor and happy Friday.
Jason _ 3:36:52 PM
lol...not your typical format.
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:37:25 PM
I FORGOT TO THANK ANONYMOUS AND DEB
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:37:32 PM

Doctor Ahab (host) 3:37:43 PM

Doctor Ahab (host) 3:38:38 PM
you will be thanked on air!
Roffled Feathers 3:39:59 PM
Thank goodness it's not even close to that typical realm.
Kenneth Dotsey 3:42:11 PM
so good to have gotten home in time to find this down to earth great music today
Mike Tropiano 3:42:50 PM
All this is making me feel so high schoolish, when I discovered and revelled to his, what was to me, new and freeing.
Doctor Ahab (host) 3:43:43 PM
awww Mike
Kenneth Dotsey 3:52:28 PM
high School was the dream No responsibilties and Begging Mom for a few dollars to buy albums was fun
Roffled Feathers 3:54:53 PM
Mom bought me a Beatles album to shut me up. lol
Mike Tropiano 3:55:58 PM
My mom got me Get the Knack one Christmas.
Mike Tropiano 3:56:43 PM
Vangelis.
christopher thacher 3:56:49 PM
That song was boss
Roffled Feathers 4:01:30 PM
I also remember that picture of you there Doc. Very cool by any yardstick.
Doctor Ahab (host) 4:02:46 PM
I think the river bed must have changed a bit in the intervening 55 years, didn't seem possible to recreate that exact perspective without going into the water
Roffled Feathers 4:03:06 PM
Maybe my favorite Uriah Heep song for sure.
Roffled Feathers 4:06:27 PM
@Doc, Well everything does tend to change. Pain in the ass, and quite welcome as well. That's a mixed bag for sure.
Mike Tropiano 4:08:39 PM
I'm a frequent PRB proselytizer. A PRB hat is something I've wanted for a long time and would help me spreading the joy. So, Ima gonna up my monthly almsgiving. Gotta contact the powers that be, coz I suspect one of my loving neighbors helped themselves to the premium of the last fundraiser. If I see a PRB shirt in my neighborhood I'm getting medieval Scandanavian.
Roffled Feathers 4:11:33 PM
@Mike, I have gotten compliments on the streets for my t-shirts. Smart people are really out there.
Doctor Ahab (host) 4:13:36 PM
That's so sad about your premiums Mike!
Doctor Ahab (host) 4:13:56 PM
Have you written listener services? they may have extras
Roffled Feathers 4:18:03 PM
I would like to think those thievery people would catch on fire if they put it on though. Just sayin'
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 4:21:51 PM
Mike feel free to contact me personally and I can look into your past premiums being MIA.
Mike Tropiano 4:21:52 PM
I only just recently realized I didn't get the swag, and then didn't want to negate my donation by havin a repeat package. I will have to maybe arrange an alternate address for future. I do want the hat!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 4:22:25 PM
You can up your pledge amount at any time at http://pledge.wprb.com/recurringupdater. I hope that helps.
Mike Tropiano 4:23:14 PM
Thanks Jon.
Mike Tropiano 4:23:51 PM
I'm going to start collecting shipping boxes from work and leaving them on my front steps.
Roffled Feathers 4:24:36 PM
Listener Services Director? LOL.. So many hats Jon.
Mike Tropiano 4:24:41 PM
This wasn't the first time this has happened in this city of no otherly love.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 4:25:17 PM
Listener Services can be reached via lsd@wprb.com. That's a different person from me but they're quite helpful.
Roffled Feathers 4:28:30 PM
Ah. Still funny. Had no idea that was even a thing. Can I complain about the weather? I really have lots of issues day to day.
David Shortell 4:34:26 PM
This is obviously a different Deadbeats than the group who sang "Kill the Hippies".
Mike Tropiano 4:36:45 PM
Monsters of Doom
Roffled Feathers 4:37:21 PM
Killing Hippies is tantamount to suicide for me.
•ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ•💀 4:40:24 PM
Another EXCELLENT Show from DJ Dr Captain Ahab Esq O.G.‼️ Here to hear every track‼️
Doctor Ahab (host) 4:40:37 PM

Mike Tropiano 4:40:51 PM
There's that think that eats almost all hippies...
Mike Tropiano 4:41:28 PM
'cept for one, and I reckon Jerry Garcia gave it agita.
Roffled Feathers 4:42:08 PM
We all eat ourselves Mike. One way or another.
Mike Tropiano 4:42:33 PM
Can't talk right now, mouth full.
Roffled Feathers 4:43:08 PM
Chew
Mike Tropiano 4:46:31 PM
Is it ok to brine a hippie? Chef Emeril needs to chime in.
christopher thacher 4:47:56 PM
Killer show Dr... Mike, brine and broil.
Roffled Feathers 4:48:16 PM
Thanks Captain! Nice to see you around and about. Gotta go do stuff. Have a great until next time.
