Midnight In The Desert

[paladin1991]

I'm optimistic that Heather's show will take off for real tonight. If it doesn't, I can only conclude that her heart really isn't in it and that she's just been spinning her wheels and jerking people around for the last 6 weeks.

But if that's the case.  What is she to do?  I understood fm early on that ART was the big financial backer for her position.  Somehow, I got the impression that she was bringing in 10 grand a month as a check. Was that not correct?  Seems to me that she has to be on tonight.  The show has to go on or there will be no financial revenue for her.

Your capture shows Vara at his weakest.  The tell is that 'Heather will take back the night.'   And save his BS LNM.

He seems awful determined! lol

He seems awful determined! lol

He is obsessed...clearly a nerve has been struck.

I used to think George Noory was bad, that he didn't have the aptitude, skills, or basic body of knowledge of the world around him to be a nationally syndicated talk show host.  He doesn't even speak the language well.  It was inexplicable that he held onto his job, and that PremRat seemed quite happy with him.

The gap in talent and listenability between Noory and Heather is far greater than gap in talent and listenability between Art Bell and George Noory.

You can tell that he has lost interest in his position over the years. I still don't dislike the guy, I just wish he'd get back to shadow people and black-eyed children and all that...

Well she doesn't have to be a talk radio host. She managed to survive her first 40ish years doing other jobs. But I think she'll be on tonight.

She should be able to easily secure somewhere between 500-1000 subscribers and eke out a living, which will be a drastic pay cut from $100k-ish (if that's really what Art was paying her HOLY SHIT) but still doable. Maybe she can grow that subscription base over time, though it seems unlikely from within the self-obsessed echo chamber black hole of LNM Radio Network.

Sorry for me having to ask...  I've searched BG for additional links to the 50-second clip of Vara's racist remarks about Airyn.

The video was killed on Vimeo.

I'm not sure that Karen knows about this and I thought she should, obviously to tell/protect Airyn...

As Charlie Daniels once said:
"Watch 'im folks, cause he's a fairly dangerous man."

Search my posts, I don't have too many.

Alas, it is not fake: Heather has been putting her emotional fragility on display like some sort of hideously swollen baboon's arse for the past 2.5 years. 



Give a listen to the first audio clip (dating from c. 11/16) in this post:

http://bellgab.com/index.php?topic=9159.msg966134#msg966134

Then listen to this one (dating from roughly a year later):

http://bellgab.com/index.php?topic=9159.msg1206306#msg1206306

Are those clips indicative of a host who is capable of taking the rough with the smooth?  A host that can make a point without making an enemy?  What do you think?

I know what I think: that Heather has spent her entire adult life driving around a little girl's emotional outlook in a big girl's body and her quest to become a "radio personality" has only served to make this even more painfully apparent.  How else to explain the first part of the last sentence in this screenshot (which comes courtesy of Faustina via Grifynne's "the story so far" post of the 10th inst.):




Good God, Heather: Art has been helping you for the past two-and-one-half years.  What, exactly, was left for him to do for you at this point?  Adopt you?  Was there ever going to be a time when you were going to let go of the man's pantleg?  It sure doesn't sound like it.

(And, yes, I understand that there was [allegedly] friction between Keith and Heather long before Heather got the chop.  However, making professional relationships work is what adults do.)

One thing I do not understand (and am not even going to attempt to at this point) is: how is getting minute-by-minute updates from Paul and Ella on the state of their/their dog's bowels in some way preferable to, say, working as a greeter at the Pahrump Walmart?  I'm serious: attempting to appeal to the Paul-and-Ella demographic for a living is better than working an anonymous job where no one expects you to give a toss about them?  Really?

Heather seems hell bent on driving what little remains of her micro-celebrity right into the ground.  I am hoping that an 11th-hour outbreak of Good Sense will (somehow) occur and she will finally come to terms with the fact that she is simply too self-conscious for a job that depends on her being able to step outside herself and empathise with others, if only for a time. 

(Perhaps wishing for Good Sense to ultimately prevail in this trainwreck is what they mean when they talk about "hope triumphing over experience"?) 

It was Heaters comment to bash the host, then her stupid ass Vulture comment that got me out of lurking mode.  Ironic, it was Vara BS in 2016 that got me to consider coming out of lurking then.

Wow, so there is SOME good in you after all....

In direct contrast to her bellgabian (Redacted) personality.

[Metron2267]

Ask him to show you the photos of his legs.. Deeeeliiiiiccious.

Why don't you fuck off out of here forever, traitor?


"Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
And go down to Marble Art Station.
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.
Chances will be taken, that's for sure.
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
That some people call manly footwear."

You have no "friends" you treasonous limey sot - you are subhuman FILTH!

[Metron2267]

The thing is, SV can carry it off so well he could pass easily.

Gte the FUCK out of MY nation, you limey Cal Trans DMV leech piece of shit!

[Metron2267]

The only thing I can compare her to - as a total amateur with zero experience being given this position - is players from the sports world being given spots broadcasting games or on a sports talk show when their playing days are behind them.

Sound analogy.

Peter principle in action.

They are mostly all terrible starting out, some drop out and some of the others improve fairly quickly.  It's surprising how well some of them do after a few months. 

Heather stinks.  She's absolutely horrible, and simply doesn't have the aptitude for the job.  No matter what Art Bell said, and no matter what Art Bell said ''people he respected in the industry'' said.  No matter how much she wants to do it.  Wanting to do it and being willing to put in the hard work are often enough, but not for this particular job.

She improved, whether you se it or not, she did improve.

Was it enough?

Likely no.

Will it save her or Vara's slow-mo train wreck?

I honestly doubt it.

But I wish her the best regardless.

That's what sentient beings would do.

[Yorkshire pud]

Gte tahe FUCK out of MY nation, you limey Cal Trans DMV leech piece of shit!

Please come and say that to my face big boy... PLEASE. 

[Nobody]

I would just like to say that they're wasting their time and they're never going to get anywhere with this and they're not good enough and I vow to destroy them.

Tell the truth: Did you manage to get all of that out without corpsing?  Or did you do that thing where you run out of the room immediately after you've finished so it looks like you're "leading the charge," but you're really only running so as to find somewhere to collapse in laughter where your minions won't see you?

(Asking for an evil mastermind friend.)

What a shame you didn't dribble down your whore mother's legs  instead of cursing this world with your scum sucking presence!

Perhaps. Where do you fit in with sentient? Roughly?

[Metron2267]

I can accommodate your wishes any old time you want to party.

Limey socialist leeches need not speak, ever again.

Praise Santa Liberace.

Stop grovelling, limey serf.

Will you bring your dad? His dad? Your mum? Your blanky?
