Would we have all immediately known that it was Manos Hands of Fate w/o MST3k?

Nope.  ;)

Without even hearing the story, on the basis of the Irish accent alone, I'm saying it's what Robert Anton Wilson referred to as "an Irish truth" -- i.e. made up.

I wonder if there will be a day when Art gets too fed up with Skype and dumps it for open lines and just uses phone lines but keeps Skype for guests.

good job!!!!

Thanks man.
I have been wanting to tell that story to Art on the air for almost 20 years.  It happened in 1992.

I like that he doesn't waste time on stuff we already know.  We get a little paranormal news during the breaks, and that's enough for me.

He really does need Keith to make a web page that describes the do's and don'ts for Skype callers, including how to check your audio levels before calling.

The only slightly rough part was the trouble with Skype conferencing at the beginning.

Art always does a good show.

The whole jury idea was an interesting idea, and I applaud Art's effort, but I didn't like the show. I prefer regular open lines MUCH BETTER. Forcing people to keep stories that are down to earth makes the show uninteresting. 90% of the stories put me to sleep...

I didn't listen at all but I did get rip roaring drunk & urinate on a few trees with my dog.

I would have, I mean come on, Manos is one of the best episodes.

I couldn't get past the first hour of this show. I know that Art wants to try new things, but I hope this doesn't become a regular feature of the show. Maybe if he announced it and gave people a couple of weeks to prepare their stories he could make this work. I'm not sure if this would help much either unless he had them submit their stories for review to weed out the weakest ones. Then have a line for those chosen to present their stories with the understanding that they need to be prepared when they call in. They need to have all their devices turned off and be ready to deliver their spiel in x number of minutes.

Still not sure if this will work. People can lie either way- they can say it's true whether it is or it isn't. I guess the big question would be, "does the listening audience really care?"
