Despite that pic being taken from a more flattering angle ear-wise, those extrusions still border on being simulacra of melting Salvador Dali clocks.

The ears of Larry David on the skull of Dondi.

He's a clueless buffoon. 

Just like former Styper vocalist cum ~Funagelica~ Ted Cruz, who fancies himself a great debater, speaker, leader, moral compass, etc who will invoke separation of church and state at the drop of a tax quill, but uses religion as a lynch pin of progression to ascend a political ladder of complete inadequacy.

Purging.

Mr. Cruz, second from left.  Isaiah 53:5 indeed!

HAHAHAHA


Ha!  You're right, Cam.  Dondi!



I always thought that was one creepy, weird cartoon.  The original Black Eyed Child.  :o

Actually, the Gabcast has been handed over to me.  I will be hosting a show every third Thursday of every other month and the show can additionally be heard at CBSsportsline.com.  To participate in the show, please post your phone number here in this thread, and I will call you when we're ready to go to the phones.  Please stay on topic and please be ready to answer your phone promptly, again, that's every third Thursday of every other month.
Great.  This is even better than turbo mode.

Obviously with hair like that, I'd be fapping to my own reflection.
Yep.  19.5 times a day, of course.

Again, I don't really understand what the alleged fapping was all about in the first place. I mean, do people actually fap to Art's photo?  It's all really ridiculous.
For me, it's all about the hair.

I wonder how much Manning got paid for that. I cringed after he mentioned budweiser.  Can't the NFL go two seconds without having to advertise something? It's one big corporate circlejerk. I was glad that they decided to throw a bit of football inbetween all of the commercials though. That was nice.
All the commercials really turn me off football, both pro and college.  The Super Bowl is the worst.  Crap, parties so people can watch commercials?  Talk about brain washed.

MV actually turned over the GabCast to themudking so he could concentrate on school and the Radio Trainwreck. He made an exception for the episode with Art Bell. Themudking is back in charge of the GabCast.

Might not hear MV on the GabCast unless Hoagland's stalker finds the Donate button.
Thanks.  I thought he'd turned over the GabCast, except for important events, and BellGab to you.

No, not 'recap'. Ballgrabbing nuzzlefest would be nearer the mark. I expect the highlight will be when Jaz announces that he has finally completed that false beard made from Art's pubes, the one that he has so laboriously knitted over the past few years. The best caller will also receive the Art mask (slightly stained) he makes his wife wear at gunpoint in bed. As for the rest, a New York eunuch, a female impersonator, and a soulless firecrotch. Let the good times roll.  ::)
LOL.  MV will be attending school, watching the X-Files, and/or changing diapers, I presume.

From reading the comments yesterday, it sounded like this show was going to be one huge disappointment. Although a lot of questions went unanswered, I think it was a bit more revealing than many people realised. First of all, it would have been uncomfortable and unfair to do any sort of interview that didn't give Art all the respect in the world for being such a great broadcaster. I have been listening to a few old Art shows recently, and he was peerless at what he did. They also, however, show that there crept in a certain lack of enthusiasam once he 'retired' back in the '90s, and I don't think he every really recaptured the glory days. Turning the GabCast into some sort of adversarial showdown would have done the man a disservice, because it's just a radio show, and it would have been out of place. But this was still an opportunity for Art to clear a few things up for his listeners.

When it came to the 'stalker' question I think you needed to read between the lines. Now that we have had the chance to hear him recount it, event by event, I don't think it's hard to see that he is using it as an excuse to stay off the air. The first 'event' could have been anything. If those shots were meant to be aimed at the house the 'stalker' must have the worst aim in the world. If they were meant to intimdate then they ought to have been seen by Art, which they weren't. It makes no sense, and the most obvious conclusion is that his neighbour got confused. It sounds like there was a lot of stuff going on that night, and she could have got caught up in the general hysteria along with Art. The second 'event' seems more credible until you remember that this was the man who also considered shooting a 'shadow person' in his home a few months before. Finally, the third 'event' has become a bit garbled with the telling. Art has forgotten that he told us that he heard a voice from the darkness telling him 'you were...', but that sounds like it has been dropped from the story now. Again, it could have been anything. It's a handy story because it's open-ended and doesn't have to rely on evidence. At the same time there is nothing whatsoever to back up his claim. If you think you have been shot at then you don't equivocate and say it might have been a firecracker. It was ironic that he later said that his reason for believing Bob Lazar was because his story never changed. You can believe Art's story, if you want; but I hope that the short bus has comfortable seating, because you are going to be riding it for a long time.

Art said he thinks he knows who it is, but didn't want to take out a restraining order. His reasoning was that it 'could make things worse'. How could it be worse when he has been driven from the airwaves because he fears for the safety of himself and his family? He later went on to say that the 'stalker' must be 'crazy'. So he refuses to do anything to prevent an insane person who is threatening the lives of his family, because it might make things worse? The reason that there has never been another incident is clearly because there doesn't need to be. There's no reason to believe that staying off the air is connected with his safety at all. All you need to do is look at Art's behaviour â€" not listen to his words â€" to see how seriously he is taking this 'stalker'. I don't think MV needed to bang the table over this, it was enough to leave the more intelligent listeners to figure it out for themselves.

I was disappointed in the whole Heather discussion (if you can call it that) but not surprised. I don't think you need to start by saying how wonderful you think she is, even if you believe it to be true (which I hope he doesn't). I wish someone would tell me why there is a code of silence around her (or 'Sister Heather of the Perpetual Meltdown', as she is known in the convent). The way some people talk about her I expect her to start turning water into wine pretty soon. I never found out how a total novice can be Art's 'first choice'. Art knows what it takes to succeed in broadcasting but he hands the show off to a total amateur. What. The. Fuck? I wish MV had asked why someone so inexperienced is also saddled with running the board and being her own producer. Couldn't Art dig into his jeans and get her some support if he's that keen for her to succeed? I thought Art's aside that 'she's done some good shows' was quite revealing. She's been doing this for two months, and the best he can say is that she's done 'some' good shows? How many, and which ones? The only way people talk about St Heather is polite euphemism. 'She's doing a great job under the circumstances' means that she's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. 'Heather's getting better' sounds like the sort of thing you say about a child in a remedial class. I took MV's comment that she could get a job on lots of radio stations to mean that 'there are lots of shitty broadcasters out there, and she isn't the worst'.   

Art said he wanted fellow BellGabbers to give Heather advice. Perhaps Bateman? I might suggest something along the lines of 'you are in the wrong job'. Putting Heather behind a mic long enough does not automatically turn her into a tolerable broadcaster, any more than attaching wheels and pedals to my grandmother transforms her into a bicycle. The fact is, even when she did the GabCast she wasn't very memorable, but it wasn't worth pointing out. When you regularly do a show with someone like b_dubb (who seemed to make it a point of professional pride to fuck a goat every single show) then anyone is going to look good in comparison. You could stick Terri Schiavo in there under those circumstances and she'd look like Rush Limbaugh. Yet, Art never had any doubts that this woman â€" totally inexperienced â€" could take over a show in an area of broadcasting that is notoriously difficult to make interesting these days. Preferred above someone like Howard Hughes, who has been doing that sort of show off and on for nearly two decades. If you can't get Art to answer those questions then you failed to do a proper job. You never know, he may have made a good stab at telling us what we are missing. Instead, all we got was that 'despite what you may have heard, she's doing a great job'. In other words, 'the audience doesn't like her, but I do. So there!'

I think the overall tone of the show was that Art's over it but he doesn't want to say it in so many words. There's no point criticising the man, but I wish he'd be a little straighter with the listeners and stop treating us like babies. He was also being disingenous about the show - saying that she should make it her own - if Heather needs all the bumper music to be pre-approved. The only reason that most people are continuing their subscriptions is simple inertia at the moment. If Art categorically stated that he was done with the show then we would see a sharp drop. He knows this, but is being duplicitous. This isn't adult behaviour. Neither is it smart to claim that Heather is 'carrying the network' in a dig at Hoagland. If Art announced tomorrow that he was quitting for good we'd soon see how capable Heather is of carrying anything. Art sounded lucid but he has also shown some deplorable judgement over the last months. Having the lunatic Leo Ashcraft fouling the airwaves with his news segment shows us that Art's sense of what is good on the air is defective these days, to say the least. His fussiness over basically irrelevant details like sub-optimal audio quality is another example of the way that his priorities have become skewed over the years. He was always a bit of an audio nut but this has developed into a neurosis.

So, we learned that Art's reason for staying off the air is, at best, thin. But we never found out why a total amateur is good enough to follow a broadcast legend. If he'd been challenged on this then he might have been able to put up a good case. But he wasn't, so we are none the wiser. As it is, I don't think many people would have been encouraged to retain their subscriptions, let along bring in new ones. It's not mean-spirited to ask these question, and it doesn't have to come across in a bad way, so it was an opportunity lost.
A very good assessment, SV.  I enjoyed listening to the cast.  Your analysis is similar to mine.

It could of been handled SO much better agreed. But MV is not going to ever host MITD. Ever.

Nice thoughts though. :)
I'd be surprised if MV has any interest in hosting MITD.  Frankly, at this stage, I'd be surprised any quality host would be interested in MITD.  Both Hughes and Warner weren't and I can certainly understand why.

I think MV is exceptional as a show host.  I look forward to his GabCast and would love to hear him in anything he deems worthy.  I know he's going to school, in addition to his regular job, plus his family committments.  He's a busy man.  He'll have to speak for his future plans and desires, of course.

It was an interesting Gabcast last night, but we all have to realize MITD was Art's show and now it's dead. Stick a fork in it already!
Time to rename the show  :-*"Mizz Heather's Parlor" :-* It took a long time for Art to reach the the pinnacle he had. You just have to give Heather about 10 years to get it all down to a science that ART reached. I was there in the Late 80's in Vegas when Art was broadcasting from the Union Plaza. I was patrolling the High Desert on the outskirts of Vegas in my little Jeep CJ-5. He had his hit's and misses a lot back then. You just can't wave a Magic Radio Wand over Heather's head and turn her into a female clone of Art. No insult to Heather but who would you want doing Heart Surgery on you, the seasoned doctor, or the new intern whose only done it on a simulator?
LOL.    "Come on in boys.  Set yourself down and have a cold one."



The next time I fly commercial, I'll be sure to ask the pilot if he's a BellGabber.  I know that's all it takes to be a great pilot.

I agree. Believe it or not, I listen to all three hours of Rush every day, even though I'm not necessarily his target demographic. The man is a master of his craft, and nothing makes that more evident than every afternoon, Rush ends and Hannity begins. Hannity is the Noory of political talk radio.

Guys like Art and Limbaugh are extremely rare.
Yes, sir.  Rush and Art both appear to be rare "naturals."  And, yes, when Hannity comes, off goes the AM.  Too much like Clyde again with long, never-stopping-for-a-breath rants.  I'm just surprised a profit-driven operation such as Premrad hasn't put in apparent effort to find a talent for the night.  Over ten years of Noory?  WTF?

Thanks again for your work, NXOEED.  Really intriguing "Art" work.
