Boys, boys, boys.

Can't we just get a ruler and settle this like men?

Wimmin dunno how to use science.

Never sell Art!  In-N-Out Burger, Flying J's and Love's Truck Stops to name a few are all privately owned! All who I may say are probably Art Bell Fans!

Excellent point! And if you've learned nothing else from this thread today, it should be this quote: "Greed kills creativity."

It takes years to learn valuable lessons, and if you climb back in the ring or pick up the pen or put on the phones again, you have to choose one side of the see-saw.

I hope Five Guys is on that list of independents.

I usually never butt in when two people are arguing. And I won't now. None of my business. Carry on.

[paladin1991]

Hey, if that's what you choose to believe, against my word and against verifiable posts, by all means. But "lol jealous hatur" is gnoory level shit, MV.

Hey MV, Hey Bateman.  I come in here to rub shoulders with my bro's and sisters, share a few yucks, chew the fat, give and take and pontificate, you know, and talk a bit with ART FUCKING BELL... and you two fucks are harshing my mellow.

I'm gonna go pour myself a Scotch and fire up a see-gar.  I am that distressed over the discord between two of my bro's.   

ETA:  Bitches.

Thanks for posting the Queen live at Wembley, Coaster.  I'm going to disappear into that for awhile.

[paladin1991]

Better watch all this infighting. Uncle George will see it and come in and get the hose out and kick some ass. I don't think any of us wants to see that. Especially the hose part.

Yeah, if that's what you call the little fella.

Brilliant right? They were great.

And you call yourself a fan.

The correct quote is "it's dark in here".

Anyway, I agree with all of this. Noory's only problem (as far as I'm concerned) is that he happened to inherit the mic from The Greatest American Broadcaster of All Time. Tough act to follow. He's done what he could with what he was given. I'm not into it, but I don't hate the man for it. It's like hating a bicycle because it isn't the space shuttle. He's a guy who isn't nearly as good as the guy who's the best ever.

...

No, it's like warning others about a bicycle that is in disrepair and unsafe to ride, and no one can be bothered to fix it.

I keep waiting for Art to post...

I don't know about Jazmunda but I know I'll be wetting the bed tonight.

That is why God invented adult diapers?

[paladin1991]

usually it is.  could you tell me again which radio station you fetch coffee at?  i usually have to be informed of something 1200 times before it sinks in.

Hi, my name is lonevoice, but you can call me "tonight"

[SciFiAuthor]

No that's not true, I love them, BUT I think I have a fear of building a Network that somebody wants to buy and promises not to change.

I saw a picture of a big poop truck and on the back they had a sign that said "filled with Political promises"

True, money and greed do ruin everything, but I have to wonder about the callers. The truly strange and compelling ones might come only from radio listeners. Speaking from experience, for example, you had a huge secret popularity among defense contractors back in the day. Your show was more often than not the water cooler talk at at least one major defense contractor. There were Air Force generals listening to your show. Most of the callers claiming a defense background seemed suspicious to me, but occasionally one of them would ring true. It was spooky as hell when that would happen. Pure radio magic. But I would be concerned that those kinds of callers might not surface so much on a solely streaming model.

You know, when I was in 8th grade, all my friends mothers called me their favorite bike.

What time?  But I need time to finish my Scotch, right?

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Someone post that picture of grandpa Simpson going into and out of the bar.

[Skunk Ape]

You know, the words I posted, instead of the smiley. Which if you don't like, you should probably remove from your forum.

I love the infomercial about the magic hose. Like it is that friggin' hard to wash your car that you would get tied up in the hose like it was some anaconda and go falling with your buckets, brushes, and soap. If you are that inept that take it to a car wash or even one of those ones at the gas station.
I agree about no co-host, not because I any feeling against (redacted) , or anyone else, but because I don't think it works as well as Art. Maybe as a guest host, weekend, or fill-in host if she has talent etc? Sure, I have no problem with that. Or as a guest even if she has reports, investigations, or whatever.  I also suggest Bateman, Howard Hughes, and Knapp (if he could be allowed) and maybe even JBW (on limited occasion) as a weekend or guest host. But keep the main show Art Bell plus callers and guests I say. My 2 cents.....not that it matters. Art, run the show how you want, I'm sure it will be great.

[LadyFish]

Just wanted to thank you all publicly for the many IM birthday wishes. I do appreciate it.
And to AB best to you on your new endeavor. Leave some room for me! LOL

How does one IM Dave?

It is my experience in life that one sends best wishes & is overly nice,  right before they stab you in the back.

Does this mean you are breaking up with me Lonevoice?   

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

NO U R

Yeah, my life's a mess, but I didn't go into a career where I'm responsible for influencing the thoughts and opinions of millions of people.  If I had, I'd try to be more accountable for the things I broadcast, the people I gave a voice, and I would better prepare & research the things I opined on than we are currently hearing on the present C2C machine.  I certainly wouldn't finger an innocent man as a domestic terrorist so I could get the 'scoop' or call for the firing of a person over an issue I knew nothing about, or make statements regarding policy I didn't understand.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled MV vs Bateman.

Yup if anything having the show on radio will bring out some whackadoos and characters. Hopefully it doesn't get to zany and sternesque though.

I'm curious, does the setup Art had in the Philippines still work? Could he do his show remotely?  Let's say, if Art takes a trip to the Mediterranean  and had a layover in Rome and he meets the Pope - would his equipment be able to broadcast an exclusive live interview with the Pope? Or, can he just broadcast from the Philippines?
