who, between him, Hoagie and Noory..would win in a tables, ladders and chairs match?

I am interested in who would win in a Chutes and Ladders match, for my pArt.

Chutes & Ladders

[Khameleon808]

I said I would do the Gab Cast and I will, however if it is filled with people attacking my Family or truly foul stuff I won't be there long. I hope this can be done in a adult way and I hope that is not to much to ask. I don't mind hard questions but I do ask that people be civil.

Art

My questions will be tethered to the subject of your Art Bell themed pinball machine that doesnt exist yet.   

JK, I'm sure it will be a question that has to do with a past show or something fun and unrelated to the drama.  Will be lookin forward to it.  Thx for posting a headsup.

REAL STORY ! 

There was a radio host in not distant past,
but his latest radio-shtick did not really last.

He went off his rocker, and saw, a stalker
stalker was stalking him every night ..he got distressed and paranoid
but he didn't know how to avoid
stalker was getting closer and closer,
poor radio host was loosing his mind
stalker was there, right there.. inside !

And paranoia bloomed all around, but stalker was nowhere to be found
radio host came with genius plan, he will resign,..get off the air
and ex-sex worker will get his chair.

But she was a total , total disaster, not even close to great old Master
she was so brutal with her lack of class, people were saying,
she give him her ass - over the phone,
and he got horny,..and give her His throne.

This a story of radio glory that is so corny, ..how old guy blew it because he got ..horny !


And now "you know the rest of the story" 

Brilliant!

hey art

heres a warm up  thanks  i would love a response 

heres some questions i would ask


starting like this        hey Art thanks for being here     so whats going these days in Art Bell's head ?
           to     so it has been over 6 weeks this time around since you have been on the air  what has that been like ?

If you could redo any choices you made in your life what would they be ?   

but truly the important one   did you see X FILES   what do you think ?

[Sean92008]

She has a good voice for it. So what if she made a living doing it for awhile. Who the fuck are you to judge?

Once she took the job, the target was placed squarely on her back...  and I don't perceive it as judging as much as it is "making fun of..."

Just like that Southern Nevada Baptist Pastor's wife, who did porn...  Her father-in-law runs the church organization too...  Lots-o-fun with pointing out the fact.  Not judgment.  She could do donkeys in Tijuana for all I care, if she weren't in a high-profile position.  Once you step up, fire away!

[Mr. Fidget]

Time to move on. I enjoyed your shows and appearances (you were a heck of a co-host/host for that one) it is in the past. Move on and be well. And keep on Fidgeting.
ps: read some Solzhenitsyn, (and others) he has some good stuff to say with regard to your, at least as you perceive currently, situation with regard to society, 'the man', possessions, etc.

I'll just "sprout wings" and move on. That's it, nothing to see here. Art's professional malfeasance be damned, I'll go get a regular job! Nope, that's not how it's gonna happen. I appreciate the sentiment, but there are "larger than appear in the rear view mirror" issues here. Be glad it's not your problem, I don't begrudge your assessment.

[Jackstar]

as much as it is "making fun of..."

Anyone who thinks that shit is "fun" is a complete idiot.

I think that, for the most part, Art, those who really supported you intellectually have given up on you.  Your loyalists are more emotionally attached and are in denial that you jumped the shark...  and the shark won.  Those emotional hangers on are who you appreciate.  Unhealthy as it is, they're all that's left for you.

You appealed to open-minded people who were up late, not fucking idiots, although you may have attracted a few loonies along the way.

Radio is a powerful tool and you owned it.    Operative tense:  PAST.

The difference is the pastor's wife was a pastor's wife.
But really who gives a flyin fuck

I wouldn't worry. MV is a reasonable guy and I think he'll keep things civil.

I don't think this thread is much of a barometer for the upcoming show.  Lately it's slumped to the lowest common denominator because trolls, headcases and shills have rendered it unreadable.  Lots of intelligent folks are looking forward to a lively discussion; they just don't see any point posting in the midst of this dreck.

wanted to say how gracious and incredible it is of you for doing the Gabcast this week -its going to be GREAT SHOW.  I know it will be a fun interview and enjoyable for everyone listening.  MV will do an awesome and very respectful  job.  Once again thanks so much for doing this.

If HW's appearance is any indicator of ass-kissery...  I don't see too much hope for AB's episode...  Maybe MV will pull a Sgt. Friday and be really JTFM with him.

Perfectly understandable. Hopefully folks will keep it classy. But no promises, the interwebs have made people more mean, or at least, brought it out, though there are lots of decent folks out there also. Look forward to the show.

I haven't heard the HW GabCast, but it would be foolish to conflate the two.  Art's a seasoned pro with a ton of experience to talk about; some people may disagree with his perspectives but he's always a class act and interesting to listen to.

[BettyO417]

Thanks again Art.

I agree with Gravity, Art. I believe MV understands the dynamics involved with the podcast. What would the point be in having you on if only to shred you and your family? Don't forget most of us here at Bellgab were involved in the Blitz for your return. Remember to sort the wheat from the chaff. Yes, we're ready to hear some type of decision on your return etc, etc. Other than that I think any other point is moot.

Ya man, Ive been gone for a while.  Tryin to get caught up on all this stuff.  Listening to the Jan 18th ep right now. Crazy shit. And last I heard Art wasnt comin back here.  So this is all pretty dramatic. 
Hoping the universe works this shit out.   But I will say that If i can get a call in, it will be totally civil and not even pertaining to this negative stuff. 

And I know some posters here wanna categorize the listeners into certain extreme groups. But understand there are some of us that are just "lost fans" in radio limbo that wanna hear interesting guests and voices while we work, and do other things.   I'm not a blind fan of anything other than moving forward.   


Speakin of which, Ive noticed other certain posters have re-emerged that haven't moved forward in life either. It's sad and I'm just keepin my naive fingers crossed that everyone can enjoy what we once did again.

I won't be calling, frankly can't, and am not trying to be any more of a problem for you. I just need to have another thing to point at than "He blacklisted me, and never looked back". If you can acknowledge the validity of the massive legal quagmire I navigated, admit it was a contributory factor that you revealed all my designs when I asked you not to, we're golden.
   I assume you looked at the docs when they were up, and saw that there really was a conspiracy to frame me, and I (after 3 years) proved it.

I just need a counterbalance to the 17 year blacklisting, to have my dignity back.

It's hard to fathom you couldn't/can't understand that.

[Sean92008]

I haven't heard the HW GabCast, but it would be foolish to conflate the two.  Art's a seasoned pro with a ton of experience to talk about; some people may disagree with his perspectives but he's always a class act and interesting to listen to.

I highly recommend a listen.  It wasn't HW kissing ass, it was the "panelists."  Maybe placating the guest to keep access in the future.  Keeping access to what, I do not know. 

Some folk just expect celebrities' shit not to stink.  Some folk don't think that celebrities shit at all.  As for me, I think AB's shit, when he has a BM, is probably pretty ripe.  All those back problems from that fall probably got him on opioids that constipate him up (causing even more back problems, mind you) then, all the crap to unclog the clog, add in viagara and pancit, adobo and anything from a casino or WalMart and you've got one massively smelly turd.  Porter Ranch would be amateur hour compared to a BM in the WC with AB.

See - this is the kind of juvenile bullshit that makes this thread reek.  Grow the fuck up dude; you sound like a maladjusted 13-year-old boy.  /click

Ah, for a normal person to not understand might be justifiably hard to fathom...  When you're dealing with someone who is a one-way train, you will find all the bodies on that one set of tracks.  Art's got the money and probably doesn't truly care but may say things to move the chattel out of his way without further confrontation.

There's been a lot of speculation that AB might have a tough time relating to common people.  That manifests in many ways...

That crutch is old and wobbly.  Resort to attack because I analogized the groupie experience to bowel movements?  I speak in parables because I suspect you wouldn't understand otherwise. 

Must be an ABFB.

The phone call threat came just before I went on air and I mentioned it to Heather but did not call the Police because I have had so many phone and email threats over the Years and learned that the Police always tell you people who talk do not do things and frankly I thought it was just some kid who heard all the on air stuff and wanted to pile on.

That's one of the things I was wondering about.  I just don't know how much work it takes to find your unlisted phone number, but I suppose someone who poses no bodily threat might still be motivated enough to find out.

I did sift through the messages but saw more fighting than questions.

Hey, man, it's the Internet.  Thanks for finding mine.

As for the Stalker,

Cool, he rates an initial capital!

we have a pretty darn good idea who it is but not enough proof to make a arrest or even say.

Which you also said even before the last incident, from which I infer that that event (including what you could make out of his shouting voice) did not change your opinion on the matter.  If we play "hot or cold" about this, are we likely to get clues from you?  Or would public knowledge of clues compromise your position?  What the heck, I'll throw some out:

Do you think The Stalker is aware of MITD as such?
Is it someone some of us are likely to have heard of?
Is it someone you've known for a long time?
Legit, charlatan, deluded, or crazy?  (Stock BellGab question re C2C & MITD interviewees.)

I hope you don't mind my writing in such a light tone about a matter affecting your family's safety, but even with all the practice you've had at keeping the equivalent of a poker face, I bet you chortled a little on reading that last question.

[ge30542]

hey, that could be my real question to Art Bell.

Art are you considering to buy back that radio station in Pahrump you used to own,
and give it to Heather ? , since she is doing such a GREAT JOB  

Art knows Rush, and has fixed it so that Heather will fill in for Rush frequently.

[TigerLily]

Hey Art. Happy Fourth Anniversary as a Bellgabster.  Still think we're vaguely loveable?

[Mr. Fidget]

   For the gabbers that want Art around, I'm glad my quest was not so offensive that he left for good. Since he left after I ramped up my latest push for acquiescence to absolution, I did feel a bit of a bully.
   I still have hope that my 20 year study will conclude, "all's well that ends well". Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes, and mercy has a greater value than money. If it's any consolation Art, we are all, by the nature of self preservation... selfish. You are not the only shill for advertisers, all commercial radio hosts are, that's the game... and I know you know that.
