Tonight's C2C, a critical evaluation... without personal attacks, and insults.

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Indeed!
This could be great for locating new soundboard clips.
However, be carefull with the amount of time you spend listening to George Mr. Fidget. Moderation sir.
For the  SB, I've primary focused on the older shows (2005-2009) I have from my stream link days.

I'm looking for good examples, or similar variations, of these classic phrases: "Could it  be a portal?" "could it be angels?"

He had a few gems last night, and I was wondering if you were recording it for soundboard bites.  The one I remember was "That's some story!" which would be a good one to spring on future phone scammers.

[Mr. Fidget]

   I would speculate that the easiest way to get these soundboard clips is the "Tunein Radio" app. The pro version (just a couple bucks) both records, and has a 10 second rewind that can be repeatedly pressed for further rewind. Collecting them that way would be elementary my dear gabbers.
   If my phone was not bottom of the barrel, I'd do it. I imagine somewhere within the BG legion there is a better equipped gabber.

ps. Every time I write, type, or say "app" my stomach turns. The app'ification of computer programs... "applications" seems to me somehow a wrong turn for humanity. I should have gone to onan'd'onagain's annoy thread. I'm still waiting for his acknowledgement of my point by point counter of his personal attack upon my "state of mind" before he even exists... as far as I'm concerned.

pps. Nothing wrong with eating a little "crow" when it's properly prepared. "Catharsis?"

ppps. I submit this quote for BG consideration from early in "his" BG career:
« on: November 10, 2010, 05:59:29 AM »
Well at any given moment in someone's day I could probably make a case for mental incompetence. I am a forensic psychiatric nurse... trust me I could.

pppps. Man up "dude."

I wasn't recording the show, unfortunately, or fortunately I don't listen anymore. I appreciate your suggestion however. It might be worth paying for 1 month of stream link to download as many shows as I can. I have so many isolated clips already, I can see this getting out of hand by trying to use too many. I still want more though! heh heh.
It will take some work to be able to quickly locate the right one during a conversation. On my SB, I have 6 GN banks, each bank has 21 clips loaded.  I probably have at least 50 more clips waiting to be categorized and loaded. It can be overwhelming!

[Mr. Fidget]

10:23 you're everywhere
10:23 you know I like Bob and went out to lunch with him once and he did admit to me. The special on the alien autopsy was not real and so that kind of tainted me about this because when I was watching this...

10:25 it was high drama
10:25 you made a mistake you

George goes on to state that he doesn't interject the people stop talking...

10:30 well let's talk about the space on ancient aliens on Mars just ahead...

(A bit rough... so it goes...)

[Mr. Fidget]

It sounds overwhelming, but all your hard work is worth it, because you've struck comedy gold!  Have you considered making a clip of GN interviewing himself?  It goes without saying that it would inflict prolonged, excruciating butt hurt, but if you have the time and inclination, you could have a lot of fun with that.

[WOTR]

    One way to help would be selecting quotes and isolating, clipping, and then serving them up for the soundboard.    

There are two major problems with the idea.  The first is that I have no idea how to do this... The second (and larger) problem is that I have pretty much stopped listening.  I only catch bits and pieces when I forget to turn the radio off or change stations.

It has been over a year since I have purposely subjected myself to George night after night, and I cannot start again just for brief, amusing clips of a grown man mumbling, mispronouncing and mangling the English language.

[Mr. Fidget]

There are two major problems with the idea.

I suggested that before I knew Eddie was drowning in clips already, so I guess it would just be overwhelming anyway.
mf
ps. It's the thought that counts.

[Mr. Fidget]

It can be overwhelming!

   You are a brave man, and the world is better for it. I can just close the thread... you have the whole thing on your hard drive... defrag often.

mf

ps. Yes defraging has no practical value nowadays, but if you think of it as a digital placebo, or hard drive therapy... you could perhaps save the poor little platter &/or ssd from some painful indexing... think "charitable busy work."

It has been considered. I think Jaz suggested it a few months ago, but it hasn't happened yet. Since the GN SB is gaining popularity, possibly growing beyond our control, i think I need to dedicate some time to create more SB bits.

[Kelt]

This was pretty awesome from open lines back in may.

Caller: [Talking about a guy she was speaking to, about an accident the guy had been in] "That very same day, he said, at a crossroad he was hit by a car real hard, and he went flying into a telephone post."

GN: "Did it kill him?"

[Mr. Fidget]

   No transcription tonight, I am not going to listen to four hours of fearmongering hype. It's just wrong in so many ways. They don't call it "programming" for no reason.
   Check out the accidental truth on the Tonight's Show page:

Geopolitcal Round-up/ Economic Crisis
Thu 07-24
First Half: Analyst of geopolitics and foreign policy, Craig Hulet, comments on the situations in Ukraine and Israel, and other current events.

2nd Half: Author and ex-banker John Truman Wolfe is the editor/publisher of The Hard Truth magazine. He'll discuss the state of the US and world economies, and why some economists think the situation is more fragile than in 2007, and what you can do to protect yourself and your family from the next crisis by design.

mf

[WOTR]

   No transcription tonight, I am not going to listen to four hours of fearmongering hype.

I will not listen either... But I can help with the transcription if you would like.

...Upcoming economic collapse....
... Buy gold and silver...
...Worse than the great depression...
...I have a concealed carry permit...
...Go to my website to get prepared...
...Gold and Silver, George...
...Conspiracy.... International bankers...
...The Fed...
...Your loved ones...
...The next big war...
...Industrial military complex...


That is all that my psychic side could pick up in a short time.

***Edit.  I almost forgot- "what got you interested in this?"

[Mr. Fidget]

Tonight's second guest:
Glad to be here.
George:
Me too.

   A conversationalist would have had a thoughtful reply. A rote knee jerk response, like that, shows one's lack of basic "listen/respond" awareness. That is analytically not the kind of caliber of host America deserves from the legacy of Art Bell.
   Nothing personal George, you need to get a silent keyboard, or stop smacking the keys to go to your next message. It creates audio spikes, and is a great example of why you need a producer who will guide your show to higher levels. It should never have gone unnoticed for one show, let alone until today. Ipad, membrane, laser... a silent keyboard.
   When you have a powerhouse like this guest, television writer and historian Marc Cushman, you really need to let him drive the interview. I've heard you interrupt this powerhouse guest who is both well spoken and very informed, several times.
   My advice: Listen and learn. Ask him for a good speech coach reference, and learn not to speak with a blocked nose, with a nasal sound, for proper articulation.
   Work to rise to the level of Art's position you inherited, and get as much help as you can handle. You can afford it, it's a write-off, and most importantly the listeners deserve the best you can offer, not the least you can squeak by with.

Again nothing personal,
raise the level of your "on air" game.

Hi fidget I'm listening too!

He has so much great info to share

Great guest loving it

And yes you are right!

I noticed that too when he greeted him!

[Mr. Fidget]

George: American Idol when it came out it was truly a phenomenon?

Guest: Not really...

Where did that question come from?

Minutes earlier at about 1:38 am pst. this dialog occurred:

Guest: Yeah it does, I wish that show <chuckle> [George interjected: yeaugh] was around now I wish they would put that on ME-TV, those sound fascinating.

George: They too, me too... now when you look where tv is headed today...

Context George... speak with relevance to that which was just said.

"They too," and why you said that is another kettle of difficult fish entirely.

I have no idea what you should do about that, it's non sequitur.

I had to re-listen to it ten times to verify exactly what I have transcribed here.


non se·qui·tur
ˌnän ˈsekwitər/
noun: non sequitur;
plural noun: non sequiturs;
noun: nonsequitur;
plural noun: nonsequiturs

A conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.

Origin
Latin, literally ‘it does not follow.’

[Mr. Fidget]

   I just had a realization, Coast to Coast AM, does not have "open lines" anymore. That term is a misnomer, Art had "open lines," that were unscreened, thus "open."
   What it is now is "curated lines," at best... and that does not take into account the "purported voice actors" that I do not know for certain are utilized. I have read that, and if it is true, it strikes me as a form of "false advertising." Since it is entertainment, that is likely not illegal or anything, but it is "perception manipulation."

   How about "controled lines, guarded lines, blocked lines, manipulated lines, or delayed lines?"

C2C has lost Art's spontaneity.

[PB the Deplorable]

It's all that and worse.

Tommy seems to make sure no one will ask a question or make a comment beyond George's ability.  Everything at Coast is about protecting George.

Please try sometime. I would love to hear how George would handle a legitimate old Art caller (and sorta guest) and Fidgets. Though you might have to mention some other topic to get through screener and I would not mention Art whilst talking to George. I think Fidgets would be safe however and would likely confuse him immensely. Would be funny.

   George just used the anchor phrase "the holiday season is now here" as he went into an ad. This was most likely an embedded subliminal command. The emphasis was on "now... here," which to the mind is also interpreted as "now HEAR." This brings the attention focus of the listener directly to the begining of the advertisement. Most likley it would have an effect on the drowzy, or otherwise non-alpha state (sleeping, etc.) brain. I think this tactic may have been intentional.
   It was the first time I've noticed that one, it's like a nice sales presentation... followed with "by now you see what a great value this is."

There the command was "Buy now."

I wouldn't put it past C2C to use neurolinguistic programming, although I don't think it has been shown to be effective.

[Mr. Fidget]

   Back when Coast to Coast was in its heyday, in a time of a national weather emergency Art Bell would open the lines for the people effected. There are undoubtedly right now many people without power, in the cold listening to radios. Their real-life situation would be riveting drama. I don't think they're concerned about milk, and its effect on diabetes.
   George could use his platform as a national service to ease people in great turmoil. I guess he doesn't remember how Art Bell worked on the air. It's an opportunity for a great show, just fading away.
