Midnight In The Desert

[Lilith]

I agree with Heather about "The Secret".  I would say it completely misdirects the purpose of life.

The vetting must not be all that intense.

If the vetting were intense there would never be a time traveller on the air.

John Titor, would you consider video taping your departure? What would we expect to be see from the outside perspective?
Earlier in the thread I had said I would be willing to videotape my departure. There are a few technical and logistical problems but I do plan to have it done. (i.e. the videotape recording has static and interference if it's too close to the unit.) At this point, the videotape would be for pure entertainment value. It won't prove one way or another if I'm a time traveler but I feel you deserve just a tad of bread and circuses.

When I approached my grandfather in 1975 it took me quite a while to convince him I was who I said I was. He said something I've never forgotten and I've heard some of you allude to it also. After looking at the unit he turned to me and said, "Either you've escaped from an insane asylum or you're a time traveler. As the weeks went on, it occurred to me that both were just as threatening and dangerous to him and I'm not sure he ever decided which one was worse.

Based on my own experiences on the web and a few comments some of you have made, I suspect Art is growing weary of people claiming to be time travelers for the same reason. As we have discussed, there is really no way to prove it and I would imagine Art is tired of putting himself at risk by entertaining the idea. He does have a responsibility to his listeners and I respect that. I suppose it goes back to the old question you've all asked yourselves. What is proof of time travel?

I bet 15 minutes of commercials come on after you flip to Noory.

As long as they aren't pregnant goat facial soap commercials! lol

Disappointment with Midnight in the Desert. Will not go on Radio again. I don't like being a target and I don't like being part of a popularity contest. How many people remember what they said a decade ago or two decades ago. I really wanted to release some information but wasn't allowed too.

I will release video clips in the future and little else.

In other words: "STFU, video later."

That might be a good excuse if the questions he couldn't remember the answer to weren't "WHAT YEAR WERE YOU BORN?" and "WHAT IS THE US CAPITOL IN THE TIME YOU CAME FROM?"

Not to mention all the times tonight he CONTRADICTED what he wrote in 2001 without explaining why.

If you can't remember the year you were born, c'mon.

[norland2424]

i wonder who the host is?

[trostol]

not a peep any where in the Art kingdom lol

[littlechris]

Can't do Noory. No how, no way. Besides all the commercials. What's worse. Noory or all the commercials?. But I could do my old osom method and listen to Art while posting here.  Yep.

I hear ya. I used to have 66 gigabytes of old Art shows but deleted em after his latest debacle.

Just a little creative vetting would minimally insure that the guest could actually come up with enough material to carry a couple of hours worth of airtime.  When you have to pull info out of them it's probably not gonna go well.

Always wise to have back-up shows on-deck.  I already listened to an old Art show today, so instead will check out HH or Astro-cast, till Hoagie-hour.

I liked Hrothgar's comment.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

i will agree..i cant remember what i said last week lol but she dropped the ball on this..not enough research on the guy before bring him on and she could have continued with 1 on 1 after the fact

By the tone of Heathers voice, it seemed to me that she thought she had him vetted, but when the fraud got on the air, she realized he was a crank. I think she felt bad about it and really didn't know what to do.
At least that's the impression I got.

Are there sites where that can all be downloaded? I listen to the archive stream channel from time to time but show info is hard to come by.

I guess she handled it ok.  I mean she's probably irritated with herself.  It's kind of embarrassing to hype something only to have it flop.

Yeah, look up willy art bell archive. I think his name is willy. Im sure others here know, was a while back.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Art should come on and rescue this show's final hour. That would be epic.

Heather opening a time traveler and real John Titor line now...

[TigerLily]

I usually just use U7

[trostol]

i would totally..not be asking for a time traveler after tonight

[SnapT]

Wrong, look at Andrew D. Basiago.

[Dr. MD MD]

Hey! She's playing along! She must still read Bellgab after all 

[GuerrillaUnReal]

There's tons of old Art shows on Youtube.

[Belles]

Well I picked a bad night to take a nap.  I just caught the end of the interview.  Why do you come on a show and refuse to answer questions?

Why call your listeners rude when they call out a guest?

She doesn't like to talk about someone when they aren't there?

[trostol]

bullshit..you were upset

[Donald Noory]

Doing a heck of a job Brownie.

[Auslandia]

Yep well I'm out.  No interest in listening to a bunch of nothing.

[littlechris]

Yeah they are good too, but do a lot of reruns.

[TigerLily]

I liked Hrothgar's comment.

Succinct. A man of few word

[Taco Bell]

Yeah, I check those out too, was hoping to have them available on a hard drive.

Thanks for the suggestions all!
