This. Steve please consider getting your head checked.

One of the few instances you can say that and have it not come across as rather insulting.

[Étouffée]

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

Downright poignant the way Art sort of in-a-flash-point reflected on the significance of this night in his 70 years.

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.

I'm glad you are ok.

[chefist]

This. Steve please consider getting your head checked.

Now that I think about it you aren't suppose to sleep after head trauma... Better get it checked STEVE!

[bateman]

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

Ugh. Yeah, I guess I better.

[Catsmile]

This. Steve please consider getting your head checked.

Yeah Jaz thinks you should get your head checked, even more so nao.

[jazmunda]

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

You really should consider using a passcode to access the thing keeping your coq pics safe. Unless of course you want them to get out.

[trostol]

Ugh. Yeah, I guess I better.

better safe then sorry...

[nbirnes]

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

One was to be able to announce, for real, that we are not alone.

The dangers of sleeping while concussed is a common misconception.  I think a study came out that said it was not dangerous.

[jazmunda]

Yeah Jaz thinks you should get your head checked, even more so nao.

Oh yeah. I forgot that he just got kicked in the head. He should definitely get it checked now.

[Scorch]

1,000 If I'm fast enough, ya!

[lonevoice]

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

You know he must be when he signs off with "from coast to coast", but you could barely tell.  He's got nerves of steel.

[Scorch]

Thanks for post-blocking me Jazz :p

You are supposed to rest after a concussion for perhaps the next day, anyway, but I'm not sure about sleep.

Yes. Is there a doctor in the thread? What about headaches? Aspirin? Worries.

Oh that's good...he should still go just as a precaution...

[coaster]

Ugh. Yeah, I guess I better.

There ya go. I'm sure you're fine, but might as well right?

[Sean92008]

Hey, good one.  His show is dark tonight as he's busy "upgrading" his equipment...

Yeah, upgrading his equipment... 

Steroid shot?

Penis implant?

Shooting at Art's studio?

[Scorch]

Here's something at least:

He'z not called Jaz The Destroyer for nothing. 

[Scorch]

He'z not called Jaz The Destroyer for nothing.

I luv U guyz.

[GeoNemesis]

Sweet! I was able to call into the show, get my questions asked, and suffer no ridicule on here!

Between Bateman's mugging (sorry to hear about that, btw), the shots fired at Art's compound, and then folks complaining about Michelle calling in again (really?) I escaped scorn!

[coaster]

http://www.webmd.com/first-aid/concussion-treatment

I'm terrified of webmd. I go to the site with a cold and end up thinking I have aids or cancer or something.

[popple]

WHY ARE PEOPLE ATTACKING OUR FAVOURITE HOSTS TONIGHT?!?!!?!? 

[Lt.Uhura]

You are supposed to rest after a concussion for perhaps the next day, anyway, but I'm not sure about sleep.

No aspirin.  Have someone wake you in an hour or two to check on you.  Any altered level of conciousness/confusion, nausea/vomiting, go to the ER

[AppealPlay]

Damn, what a messed up night.  Someone shoots at Art's house and bateman gets mugged.

I hope you're okay, bateman.  I agree with the other guys.  You should probably go get your head checked out just to be safe.  Maybe file a police report, too.

Take care everyone.

Someone also gave Rose a flu so she can't do her show tonight.

[Étouffée]

Ugh. Yeah, I guess I better.

Good.  You're a night-owl, anyway.  What else were you planning  to do this morning?

(Edited for sense.  Hi, Bateman!)
