Midnight In The Desert

[bellNwhistle]

Yup--last night with the further having to explain shit is just getting out of hand.

Art put Heather in the chair and she shouldn't have to be spending her time trying to explain anything to the shitposters. Nobody is going to converted or convinced by it.

Now we can spend the next few days talking about Art's shitpost about BellGab? Really? Thanks Art! You da Man!

And this is what I was referring to earlier when I apparently quoted "Dave" Noory.  The more they continue with it, the harder it will be for fans to move the hell on already.   If he's done and gone, then let's just deal with it.

I'm telling you guys, they need to give her a co-host and a call screener.  In the same studio or not, whatever it takes.

Co-host, as I wrote upthread, would change the character of the show, which would be a last resort.  However, a call screener would not change the character of the show as far as listeners are concerned, and would considerably ease the m.c.'s job.

Art Bell apparently liked going bare in terms of call screeners.  He was not alone in that preference among phone-in talk show hosts, but definitely a minority.  But just because he was comfortable that way doesn't mean Heather needs to be -- or needs to start out being.  Ms. Wade, I doubt many listeners will consider you less of a man if you employ a screener, and I doubt your employers will either, or will balk at the expense.

[Robert]

Art could be the call screener. He wouldn't have to go to his studio to do that.

I thought about that, but I doubt that both he & the callers would be able to restrain themselves enough to avoid just having their conversation off-air, skipping the audience.

Art also has decades of work in radio under his belt that Heather doesn't. His style of radio developed through years of experience in an industry that was still evolving in his heyday.

Well, Art grabbed [redacted] from our side of the rabbit hole to his. Maybe she could do the same.

Juan Cena, stop trying to scare people with your scary luchador avatar, Juan Cena...Merry Christmas also.

These are the facts:

1)  Listening to AB reply (pot show) on www.KABC.com
2)  Listening to AB's bowel movements after being fed Exlax in a box of highly-addictive chocolates is more interesting than Dave.
3)  The above two take priority over listening to HW. 

Merry X-Man.

[Sean92008]

I missed the entire show tonight- but it is great to hear how it is going.  Those are some pretty certain statements for somebody whose evidence is that "everyone reaches their level of mediocrity in an organization, then stays there."  Seems that usually people are given more than a couple of weeks before they are pronounced to have reached the peak of their mediocrity and declared failures.

Eh, the show's toast.  There's no moving forward, why bother.  She'll never do this again, why bother to shine.  (Sorry, forgot how I originally worded it, search my old posts for a more eloquently-worded eulogy.)

Just had a thought.  AB keeps doing this shit and he'll run out of show names for his next comeback.

Very Merry Christmas to all the MITD listeners!!!!

Merry Christmas to all the shit slingers, defenders, and especially Merry Christmas to Heather.

Oh, you missed a roller coaster of turds, then. I'd consider yourself lucky to have missed this pain train.

Besides, It has been two weeks already. Never said she was a failure, either, just that she hadn't improved. Nor did I say she was mediocre, but that I think she apparently reached her peak. It could appear to mean that if you're not familiar with the idiom. The organization being Dark Matter, her show isn't really any better or worse than most of the others.

But yeah, she's done, she won't get much better. That last show was horrible. She kept to one topic and kept raping it beyond anyhow get worthwhile that could be said; worse, she strung it out for three hours. Even the idiot guest was reaching for shit to make up beyond his scripted bullshit. Her mock amazement at everything is a little trite, too. I had the chance to listen to a station carrying MitD and it was a replay of AB. If you need "evidence" to go along with an opinion, I'd say that works well enough.

[bellNwhistle]

Last night we listened to her show with the levitation guy, before falling to sleep.  WOW, who was that guy?? He sounded like someone right off of BellGab. 

[bellNwhistle]

Hey Ciardelo.  I'm sorry you have nerve issues.. I can somewhat relate. Take care of yourself and Merry Christmas!

[trostol]

merry cthulhumas to all!!!!!!

study in red for heather with best regards

[Jackstar]

I don't understand how I'm supposed to suggest that Heather interview Bob Newhart.

Should I be using a sigil? Think about it. That interview would be the bomb. Somebody make this happen expediently. I'm relinquishing all my rights on this deal.

That would be a wasted effort.  Save it for someone better suited to interview him

What'd be meta-comical would be to air only Heather's side of the convers'n.

If someone had the technical skills, even Art might get in on it. The whole alternate reality thing is irresistable.

[The Kraken]

Time to pretend Art is still on.

Art may even have trouble on that one.  Newhart is s pretty one of a kind dude.

Well, it's no secret that Kevin smith likes to smoke pot and is very open about it. As you can tell from his story, Morrison also likes to imbibe. I'm sure they had a great time together
