Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[aldousburbank]

lol this.  He's a grown ass man that should be able to sleep in the bed he deliberately makes for himself.

Hey now! I'm a grown ass man so...

[zeebo]

Zeebo! The feisty squirrel is back!

haha, yep, just runnin around in circles waiting for any news 

[eddie dean]

Yep. I think it is finally over.

Thanks for trying Art.

Who wants cupcakes?

is there weed in the cupcakes?

[pepsiguy]

He's on the phone with Jimmy Hoffa dude!  The perfect chess move re-grand opening sequence chess move FU George radio interview of all time in which JH reveals the awful truth about GN and his masterminding of the massive JFK coverup. Boom!

(Dear George's niece, don't read this. You're too young too know the unbeleefable truth!)

Do you Spose she googled George Noory sucks, like the rest of us?

[zeebo]

We're all about to pig out, get drunk, and burn down BellGab.  You know.  Just another day.

I don't know if I need my ice cream scoop, my beer mug, or my pitchfork

[Nighthawk]

I wonder how poor casio is feeling right now?

[Krazykatlady]

Yep. I think it is finally over.

Thanks for trying Art.

Everyone here should have a cupcake.  We are entitled to a bit of emotional eating under these circumstances.

Also the Dark Matter On-demand shows now have an expiration date of 3 days listed, so listen to those by this weekend, after that they will be gone...

Huh?  I think most of us have every show on our hard drive already.  :

[Bigfoot]

In other news, Bell's adopted home of the Phillipines might just see the strongest tropical system to ever make landfall today.  Hope all his friends and family over there are safe.  He might just have waaaaaay bigger shit to worry about right now.

[phrodo]

OK - WTF?? The COPS feed has been replaced by a numbers channel?? That's just creepy...

[midnight]

Chocolate Potato Cookies--they just might work.

(I'm like 50 miles behind on this thread.)

They are all over Youtube anyway.

I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I am not overly optimistic, but I do think there is some hope here.

Worse comes to worst, maybe Art threatens legal action actions Sirius (over the dropped streams) and they figure it is cheaper to just let him go instead of fight the case (they really don't have a ton to gain).

However, even if he comes back with only a streaming version, he will not have nearly the number of listeners he had, even on Sirius. If he comes back to Sirius and streams on his site, look at the number of people who already canceled. Look at how much our confidence in him has been rocked.

This is kind of like the girl/boy who would dump you all the time and then try to get back with you. Eventually, you just start to wonder when you are going to break up next.


Pretty soon, some kind of decision will need to be made about tonights show.

Yeah, I've been watching this.  Good thoughts to all in the Philippines and their families.

Heh, if Art sued them he would be in for a major countersuit for breach of contract. He's not winning this one.

She probably gets really terrible Christmas presents like Rosemary Ellen Guiley books & a Streamlink subscription.

[ziznak]

My nipples have gone soft.... sux.

[dan7800]

Oh no! Is that the foreign version of the numbers lady?!

[Bonanza Pilot]

OK - WTF?? The COPS feed has been replaced by a numbers channel?? That's just creepy...

indeed. A creepy Soviet numbers channel.

I'd love to hear a lawyer for Art make a case that when Art signed up for Satellite Radio, the internet radio wasn't up to par. lol

[jazmunda]

I was thinking cyanide.

I have my white sneakers on.

[lonevoice]

damn man I was bummed when HBO canned Carnivale...

All the way up to page 182 now, yay?

Just wanted to commiserate with you for a minute.  Holy damn, Carnviale was a fine show.  Clancy Brown!  I cancelled HBO when they did that, just like I'll cancel SiriusXM if (when) they tell Art he better hire a good contract lawyer cuz he's going to need one.  Damn.

I think it's a recording...in Russian....what do the numbers mean? Anyone know? Might be a secret message to gabbers.

[jazmunda]

Casio's gonna need some tissues.

I hope the numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.

I have to imagine it would cost Sirius (and Art) quite a bit in legal fees to fight the case. Maybe Sirius just would eventually say goodbye to Art and release him to not have to pay those fees.

Just a remote possibility.

Do you have exact change?  Shit's important.

SiriusXM has more money than Art has.
