I refuse to believe anyone named their cat Retard.

Good for people with short attentions on a Friday night.  It was true vintage Art on the lighter side, which people seem to have forgotten.  There were some good and weird stories that will stick in my mind a lot longer than the geriatric-medicine guy the night before.

fun show me n my gurl laughed a lot

I met the real Mr Ed and his trainer when I was a kid; we had a family friend who was on the show

Call in a story about hot pizza rolls...

You're a genius. Wish I'd thought of this.

Who was the dbag who called in and repeated the conjoin twin story?

Could he really talk?
(Sorry had to pull a Norry like question.)

I've heard worse names. Watch "Dambusters" as one example (find an uneditted copy of the great, inspirational movie.) Good dog, but a name that most and especially Obama would hate (unless used by a rapper or one of his core-constituencies.)

....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?"

I was mildly curious as to the truthiness of the stories and .... ah ok, so yeah I didn't really care.  But I still thought it was an amusing show.   

[SciFiAuthor]

Fun show, just like the old days when Art would do a truth or trash line but now new and improved with a jury.

[marialindell]

good show.. so glad Art's back!

[the_peeve]

I think the next truth or trash will be better. The first of anything can be a bit rough. I thought it got better as the night progressed.

I had one who became "Shitty Kitty."  My bandmates and girlfriends all thought that was a riot that I dared named her that AND didn't mind saying it out loud.

I'm glad I never bothered to find out what Skype is...

It really does seem to suck. I can't believe Art is sold on it and won't just go with phones as his first line of commo. I mean the crumby siriusxm commo pissed him off and this stinks. Maybe it's just my connection?  But he does seem to have problems with the skype??? I am confused. I just hope he stays and doesn't let this discourage him as Art's, or as Jaz says..."Ott" , this is the best radio he has ever done! On par with the 90's but without all the network nonsense and commercials.

[Herbn-Legend]

We call our cat Shitty Kitty all the time lol. Partly because he's a dick, and partly because of his huge poops.

Skype is fantastic technology...  when used right.  That's the key thing right there, "when used right".  Like all things computer, it all starts with a clean machine, with an updated BIOS/UEFI/Firmware, the latest drivers.  Your configuration needs to be correct, and you need a good, solid connection, good hardware (headset & mic) etc.

No software will work well on a crappy machine.  PERIOD.

My late wife named our 1 eyed tuxedo girl by calling me from the other room, "Hey your cats trippin" so the name Trippin stuck... best names are told to us by our pets

You had me convinced when you used his real name.
It was a good story.

Thankyou

Goddamnit!!!

Ive had this song in my head for two weeks!!

youve re-awakened the earworm.

You want to talk earworms?  Because of Bell's use of Abba, today I've had "Waterloo" stuck in my head.  It's not an unpleasant tune, but it's such a silly song whose only saving graces are the pleasant tune & its being funny because so silly lyric-wise.
