20150803 - Stephen Bassett/Merrill Cook - Disclosure - Live Chat Thread

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

Yep, that was me.  I am obsessed with RCH's show at this point.  I am drawn against my will to listen to his trainwreck.

The BRAAPening is real.

Some clarification for the record. I did not cancel my appearance with Art Bell on Midnight in the Desert on Monday evening. Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell was the first talk show I interviewed with back in early 1997 - one of a couple dozen I did during his tenure. I would never stand up Art Bell. There was a Skype issue. I fixed the problem and was ready to go at 12:07. Art's new producer got a bit flustered. I sat waiting for thirty minutes to go on. I was told I would be Skype called and not to call in, but I have no record on my Skype for any missed calls. Only after I recalled the producer was I told I would not be on. It is possible Art had the wrong Skype handle. Let's face it, the Internet is not like making a phone call in 1970 - a lot of complex technology and computers on each end..........That said, I regret the foul up and apologize to Art and his listeners for the missed interview. Hopefully, another segment can be scheduled for the near future

Reading everyone's posts about salvia has me thinking either you're all full of shit OR I'm dead inside because I got the *best* salvia here in Los Angeles more than once & nothing happened. At all.

I'm probably dead inside.

To be fair, I tried the "60x" extract - strong as hell, interesting to compare with other hallucinogens, but absolutely nothing pleasant/euphoric about it.

[Jackstar]

but absolutely nothing pleasant/euphoric about it.

Taking salvia divinorium and expecting pleasure and/or euphoria is like getting a divorce and expecting to get another wife.

[QuantumMystics]

Where's the beef?

[aldousburbank]

Taking salvia divinorium and expecting pleasure and/or euphoria is like getting a divorce and expecting to get another wife.

Or like jumping out of a plane to dry your hair.

Which is why I prefer disassociative anaesthetics

Are we using this for Weidner/Friedman tonight?

Would help to actually research before you start doing random drugs. Salvia is documented to be more dysphoric than anything, so it does not make sense to use it for pleasure and the trips can be terrifying as well.

Guess we do.....

[chefist]

there is a Weidner/Friedman thread but it is not turned on yet...

[QuantumMystics]

Trump likes immigrants, don't buy into the bologna about him not liking immigrants, it maybe all lies.

Well, oh kay.

That is such Bullshit, I started calling Bassett 10 Minutes before the Hour and kept calling. He had been checked out on Skype and it was working fine earlier, but he did not answer, more then that I called his Emergency back up number prior till the top of the hour and got voicemail twice as did Heather. By the time it was 20 minutes after the hour I gave up and went to open lines. My opinion, and that's all it is because I can not know where he was, is that nobody was there or if he was there he was not paying attention. His Skype showed away. There is not much a Talk Host can do except go on with the show, which I did.

Theme music for how Google and Facebook get to rip off 20 somethings from all across the world and use them up for wages that no self respecting sys op would tolerate.....

[lonevoice]

there is a Weidner/Friedman thread but it is not turned on yet...

I just started a temporary thread until MV gets here.  He can then delete the thread, merge them, or just ban me for impudence.

The thread for this morning's show is still locked.  Bummer.

Pardon me for using words to describe something. Well done for knowing stuff.

If you are the real Stephen Basset, thank you for coming here to tell us what happened. Have you contacted Art directly to explain it to him?

This show is the absolute tits. I'll need to listen to the first hour tomorrow when it's uploaded for Time Travelers because every 30 seconds or so the previous 5-10 seconds would repeat.

Oh, dear.  Sorry that it was so confusing.
