Glad I was here for this moment, I remember some of you fondly.  Some of you I simply would care not to remember.  But I'm crawling back under my rock now.  May peace follow you all.

I know this is going to sound absolutely corny, but listening to this feed makes me feel like I'm listening to the first moon landing.  And I mean that in the absolute best terms.  And my patience is rewarded.

Access through Safari on iOS has been flawless.  Fast buff and no drops or flutters.

How can you tell?

I used to do a scanner feed, this is 5 by 5.

I'd say Art has to have pretty thick skin if he keeps coming back to face the lower vibrational beings that sometimes occupy the writing space here. :o

Roswells Art, hope you can swing this and make it work.  It doesn't seem like a solution is unreachable.  There are some prohibitive media exec dinosaurs over there at Sirius XM who must be very uncomfortable with this temporary proposal but hopefully they have a brilliant bean counter somewhere that can say, "Wait, this might actually work out for us long term if we can look past that bottom line paywall comfort zone for just a moment."  And of course, there will be Pareto charts galore, which will make the media exec dinosaurs smile and giggle with delight though they know not what they mean.

Best wishes sir, whatever the outcome.

Lionel is a storyteller and I think I would add that he is a good one.  His campfire style stories are enjoyable and I don't mind listening to them while I'm drifting off.  He's not one of those hang on the edge of your seat guests, but then these days those kinds of guests are rare as a purple unicorn.  What I like best about Lionel is that his stories usually limit the opportunity for George to talk.  That is refreshing.

do they have a component where they test for abilities while drunk off your ass?  cause most of the open line calls sound like they came from an open bar somewhere

That's probably the rumpus room in George's basement.   :P

so do you have to be a complete kiss ass when you call?  is that the only way you can get on air?  cause everyone is basically a total suck ass

It's by application only.  If your application is flattering and filled with typos and bad grammar you have a better chance.  If selected, you do a meet and greet with George and Tommy first.  You must read George compliments off of little flashcards for fifteen minutes without choking on your coffee and roll.  If you don't stutter or express an original idea or opinion they tell you that you will be placed on the certified callers list.  You must pay for the coffee and rolls.

How nice, I get Art and Evelyn on my birthday.  It's a pairing that always makes for an interesting show!

Seems like a perfectly rationale response.  I have more to add, but I'm in a hurry to get back to my WoW!

It's sad when an astronaut needs to wear a name tag. Seems insulting to me.



He probably stole it off one of the tables.  If he's going to wear it, he needs to learn how to fold it and wear it properly.  It looks like he stuffed someones unmentionables in his shirt pocket as he was stumbling out of a East St. Louis BYOB strip joint.

Patent question for the night, "What do you think of this [insert name of any country] situation Jeff?"

George - "Did I miss something?"

I can't help but to think that George is banking on an abundance of brilliance from this guest to help make him seem a little less dull.  Here are some questions that we can expect not to hear Mr. Potato Head asking Nyquist to answer.

"Jeff, in your weekly column titled 'The Post-American Apocalypse' you wrote "We have not taken seriously Joseph Schumpeter?s joke that modern capitalism is merely the decaying form of Feudalism."  Isn't there more truth in the statement than there is intended comedy?

"In that same article you hinted at globalism and expressed doubt over the possibility of cultures to meld easily under hopes of economic stability.  Do you think that progress towards globalism by governments before the people are willing will ultimately lead to the failure of more than global economists schemes.  Could this actually spark a larger fire, one of a rebirth by blood you spoke of?

In this weeks article on your website you wrote, "We look around today and see two faiths locked in mortal combat."  You see those two faiths as socialism and capitalism.  I read into that as you seeing the Republicans as the capitalists and the Democrats as the socialists.  I don't see the real battle as one in regards of economic policy.  Isn't there more danger in overlooking and underplaying a real problem that is unregarded by either party; that being extreme reliance on debt by our ever growing government?

I'm not a huge fan overall.  A lot of friends of Newfoundland descent in high school would continuously tout it's merits.  I decided to try one a little while ago when I saw it on the daily specials board.  Awesome, but I think the place, the method, and the medium of frying made the sandwich.  Other then home, (which is rare because we almost never have bologna in this house),  I wouldn't eat it anywhere else besides Sandra's.  Unless I was in Bologna (in which case it would fried mortadella) or Newfoundland.

Now you are talking!  I used to live a couple blocks from an Italian deli.  There were no $5 dollar subs, but who cares when the bread is fresh baked (never frozen) and the meat and cheeses did not taste or resemble petroleum byproducts.

We have two Subway franchises nearby but no Quiznos.  I patronize the Subway on occasion out of desperation of wanting a quick fix to basic hunger.  Neither appear to be culinary delights in my book.  Fried bologna sounds curious, but good.

The internet movement that is anti-Noory, this site included, has made this guy so insecure. You think he would admit to poor questioning? Or making the effort to "assess" his damage?

Sadly, as the listening thinkers leave the audience there is no shortage of listless lemmings to follow George over the cliff.  If one is not made to suffer his own consequences he can never improve upon himself.

nboy... to an extent, i think that the same people about whom you're concerned are the same people about whom i vented in my "upward inflections" thread:
http://coastgab.com/index.php/topic,1304.0.html

Probably showing my age here, but upward inflection sounds like Valley Girl Redux.  "Narrative sentences were often spoken as though they were questions using a high rising terminal."

George to guest who has an English accent:

"You sound like my friend Lionel Fanthorpe. Do you know Lionel Fanthorpe?"

Lionel just happens to have a English (leaning on the Scottish side) accent. Gawd George. Do you get out enough? If George was on BBC "Do you know Lionel Fanthorpe?"

OMG, I was looking at your writing style and you put spaces between your words just like Isaac Asimov.  Do you know Isaac Asimov?

Noory is a complete buffoon!  And I refer that strongly to the second division of the definition.  "a gross and usually ill educated or stupid person"

Know what?  Given that the guy is on 5 nights a week (dammit) I woudnt midntht so much if he FUCKING LISTEN TO THE ANSWERS and MODIFY his line of questioning based on said answers.  But noooooooooooooo . .

Guest:  I have evidence the is a secret military base, perhaps of non-terrestrial origin, under Antarctica.

George: AMAZING, now, speaking of the fertile crescent. . . .

He doesn't listen Tommy just pulls a string to make him talk.  Like a Raggedy Andy doll you just can't control what pops out of the puppets mouth.

I've never heard him comment, but he had the Streamlink message board shut down because people were expressing their opinions.
