This is so fucking weird, BellGab went down for me for about 20 minutes like I was hacked. BellGab was the only site I couldn't access. I could get into my account by Proxy but every time I tried to post my browser would die and I wouldn't be able to access the site through that proxy anymore. Things seem to be cool now...

What a weird fucking night.

See.  Art, bateman, you, we all are on their hit list.

Hello Starr. I'm a couple pages behind too.

I'm still trying to catch up lol.  Hi Sandman.

[jazmunda]

What a show? What a night?

I'd like to get this guy back to hear "1 year after".

[Zenman]

I was texting while listening to the show with earbuds, which in hindsight made me the easiest fucking target cause I'm not paying any attention to my surroundings. Looking down at my phone and I see this shadow coming up on me fast, and in a split second I'm like, I'm gonna get tackled. Which is what happened. 3-4 guys, rummaged through my pockets, said they wanted money. Funny thing is, I did have cash on me but they didn't take it...? They got my phone, told me if I looked up that they'd shoot me. Then one kicked me in the side of the head, next thing I heard was tires squealing.

Wow. Sucks bad enough, but definitely could've been worse. Hope they get the MFs.

[norland2424]

I don't understand why people rob others, but what really gets me is, even after they got what they wanted, they still assaulted him. people are just fucking crazy. I am so glad I am normal. Not understanding that shit is a good thing I guess.

im just glad he wasn't shot, that happens more times then you would believe 

[bateman]

You should get it checked out.

Do you have Find My iPhone switched on?

You can track these guys.

Did they just get my message on Skype?

I wiped it from my old iPhone as soon as I got home, no more than 15 minutes later. They had turned off location services, clearly experienced at this sort of thing.

And no, I didn't get your message.

[Noorynoid]

As messed up as this has been, it's also been riveting radio.  I can't stop listening.

Yesssir! I totally agree, great radio!

[coaster]

That was a heartfelt thank you from Art. I'm sure hes still shaken up.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Well I'm scared and horny... anyone else?

[KMKMKM]

Didn't Art mention getting a text along the lines of someone "extremely dangerous" being outside?  Makes me wonder if they know who it was...

[jazmunda]

Apple should make it so you can't turn off location services without inputting a passcode.

you should still get checked and go and ..relax or something..i knew the two times i got mugged i was kind of amped for a while

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Maybe a possibility for the "mega structures"?

I was thinking it could be a brown dwarf system.  I suspect brown dwarfs are more common than stars.

totally agree, and maybe like an option to set off a large amount of electricity to shock the bastards

You might want to get your head checked. some people get hit once and develop a blood clot later. Better safe than sorry.

[starrmtn001]

Yeah, just glad I didn't get knifed or shot.

Wait . . . seriously???  I though you were pulling a BellGab zinger.  God, I'm sorry man.  I hope you are alright!

[maren]

What was Art referring to -- about two things he's wanted to say/do (?) his entire life?  I didn't catch it -- help??

[WOTR]

That was a heartfelt thank you from Art. I'm sure hes still shaken up.

I was just thinking the same thing.  A night like tonight and he still mentions his staff.

[SciFiAuthor]

Well, no question. This was the craziest MITD night ever.

[Spinner]

Oh, my goodness! How terrifying!. 
I hope they didn't hit you too hard. make sure that you take care of any scratches or bruises. Maybe you should get it checked out with a doctor.
I'm soooo glad that you're safe at home now.

My top two favorite radio talk show hosts get threatened on the same night.
What are the odds of that!?

[Catsmile]

Well I'm scared and horny... anyone else?

... Backs slowly away from Quimby

[Scorch]

As Art closed the show, I missed the start, his thanks to all that had anything to do with the show?  WTF?  Where's the shout out to Bellgab and MV specifically?!?!?

[SomeVelvetMorning]

Glad you are ok Art and bateman.  We will see you tomorrow night.

[jazmunda]

This. Steve please consider getting your head checked.

[nudaydawning]

Since I saw it mentioned a few posts back, what episode was it when Art fell down the steps? I looked through the archives and they all looked to be about the same length.

[chefist]

Glad Art, family n Steve are all OK on this strange evening...

Be safe and goodnight folks!

[Noorynoid]

Well I'm scared and horny... anyone else?

Lived through drive-by shootings, learned how to dive to the floor and too old to give a shit about making whoopee....

How about a nice cup of tea?

[QuantumMystics]

I was thinking it could be a brown dwarf system.  I suspect brown dwarfs are more common than stars.

Yeah that seems maybe just as likely or more likely in terms of the size of the light wobble.

[Zenman]

Weird effing night.   

[Lt.Uhura]

My new iPhone. Got home and wiped it from my old one though. Fuckers. Hopefully they didn't get any noodz off it.

Hope you're ok.  Do you have Find iPhone app?  My son found his that way, the thief tried to deny but confronted and outnumbered he gave it back.  These guys sound violent, so maybe it's not worth it.  Kill switch and insurance probably safer.
