The GabCast (A podcast about BellGab)

[eddie dean]

All joking aside, no, I am not more important than any other person.  Kind of bummed that I came across that way.

You haven't. If people are making unfair judgement about your character or motivations, they are dead wrong! I'm not blowing smoke when I say imo, you always come across as cool, funny and humbled at the opportunity you have with Art.
Excited yes! Entitled and pompous,  no!
Don't let a few douchebag asshats get you down Redacted

[MV/Liberace!]

"Who the hell do you think you are?!?" kind of hate mail.

"Who do you think you are" for what?

The harder I get kicked, so much the harder I shall rock...

"Who do you think you are" for what?

For being honest.  You asked if I had ever thought about being on the air with Art.  Yeah, I thought about it, sure.  Ever think that would happen in reality?  No. 

Happy about it?  Yes.  Better than anyone?  No.  Will I put on my Sunday best and behave?  Yes. 

[jazmunda]

"Who the hell do you think you are?!?" kind of hate mail.

I measure my success by the amount of hate mail I receive. Fortunately most of it contains coq pics and horse porn so it's not all bad.

[nbirnes]

We shall embroider this for the break room at Bella-Haven, which is itself modeled on the stencils and gym lockers on Firefly.

[eddie dean]

Rock on!!

[SaucyRossy]

For being honest.  You asked if I had ever thought about being on the air with Art.  Yeah, I thought about it, sure.  Ever think that would happen in reality?  No. 

Happy about it?  Yes.  Better than anyone?  No.  Will I put on my Sunday best and behave?  Yes.

I thought that was the honest answer!

I mean shit, if anyone is a fan of Art and has a desire to be on air and at some point didn't dream or imagine they'd be on the air with Art then you aren't dreaming. Maybe common people don't know what it's like to have major life goals, and also have those goals fulfilled. Probably why you're getting all of this misdirected hate mail.

People, if you are mad at Redacted for any reason relating to her at some point possibly being on the air with Art. Know this, you only have yourself to hate. She put herself out there, she worked towards her goals, and has put efforts into it. You either haven't or haven't worked hard enough, so don't hate redacted, rightfully hate yourself for not trying to reach your own goals and dreams and then  go fuck yourself, maybe you'll feel better about yourself afterwards.

You might have to investigate that yourself to know for sure.  All joking aside, no, I am not more important than any other person.  Kind of bummed that I came across that way.

You didn't.

Art Fucking Bell thinks you come across on the radio so well that he's planning to have you co-host some segments with him, something he's *never* done before in over 30 years as a professional broadcaster.  A man in the National Radio Hall of Fame fergawdsakes.  Who ya gonna believe about how you sound on the radio?  Some anonymous goobers on the internet...or Art Fucking Bell? 

[Heather Wade]

Ok, guys.  Next time I get weird... just tell me to go put on some Zeppelin.

[nbirnes]

Need more brownies. Made in that brownie segmented thing that they sell on TV.

[SaucyRossy]

Oh man, what I'd give for a good "special" brownie right now.

you're about to be appearing on a minimum of 16 radio stations with thousands of internet listeners on top of it.  one of those goddamned stations isn't even in this country.  my point is that the vast, overwhelming majority of people listening to you will have no idea about this forum's existence, let alone the butthurt contained within or the nasty letters some might have sent you.  many of them will never have even heard art previously.  the bellgab universe's drama around your inclusion doesn't matter AT ALL... so don't let any of it psych you out.  just dive in head first and enjoy the opportunity you've wisely decided to take.  it's the same opportunity anyone else would have taken, given the chance.  you shouldn't have to apologize for it, and to hell with anyone who thinks you should.

Ever long for the simple days of moon colonization?

I read this in your drunken rant voice.  Was hesitant, but now glad to have laid these cards on the table.  All is well.

[TheMan WhoFell ToEarth]

I couldn't be happier for you, Redacted. I think if Art wants to try some new things out, you're a great choice. You know the subject matter and it's obvious from the Gabcast you get really excited talking about it. Get it gurlfrand.

I think some people have the conception that you would be a constant thing, but it seems more to me that it would be something Art mighty do sparingly, just when it fit/made sense. It's something we've never really had Art do, I find the idea interesting.

[Jackstar]

"Who the hell do you think you are?!?" kind of hate mail.

Now you know you've made it.

Is that Felchie, again?  Miserable bastard.

He's no longer an Art Bell fan, so I don't think he'd be concerned either way.

"...whenever possible, put on side 1 of Led Zeppelin IV."

Confession: I wrote those horrible emails to (Redacted) because I hate it when people do well, especially my friends. That's normal and healthy right? And I certainly don't trust Art to know what he's doing. I mean that's why we're all tingling up our legs waiting for July 20 right?

[Richard Groyper]

Dearest (Redacted),

The opinion that I'm about to share is in no way a personal attack on you, or your on-air personality...

In my opinion, if it were up to ME I would prefer Art hosting by himself. However, I'm fairly open-minded and I don't see the harm in a "project". The things I notice most about your GabCast interactions are... speaking monotone & slowly enough to notice, interrupting while a caller is still speaking so both voices become garbled, mostly I can't hear passion flowing.  I'm sure you have a TON of passion for the craft! Basically (in my honest opinion) what I'm hearing from you on the GabCast is a woman with potential, yet plays it safe with the "cool kid" attitude. I feel a bit guilty for generalizing your entire body of work. My opinion could be the minority and it's only one.

Good luck

Banned.

[Yorkshire pud]

Good luck Redacted; All you can do, is your best, no-one can ask more from you. Set your stall out, set a high standard and be self critical, always. But most of all, enjoy it, don't take the knocks 'home'; accept the compliments and remember; it's only one person on the other end listening, to imagine 1000's is scary! 

[Richard Groyper]

Banned.

Meh.

[bateman]

Banned.

Well that wasn't as much fun as yesterday's constipation-induced psychotic break.

[Richard Groyper]

I guess the whole "co-host" thing isn't what it's been made out to be. Reading prior posts... minimal involvement at most/if that.

I heard (Redacted) is getting a studio in Hawaii.

I thought we agreed not to discuss this. You owe me a drink. Holmes.
