Midnight In The Desert

[Sean92008]

Last thing I want to hear at night is a politically driven show.  One of the reasons why I turned off Coast.

I turned off Coast because too many of the snake oil salesholes mumbled so fast, I felt like I needed hearing aids.  Oh, and, even with a good guest, George's questions would infuriate me because they were so stupid.

Agree with you on Jeff Bellanger.  Well spoken, has energy, very very into Bellian topics (particularly the paranormal).  Not exactly charismatic, but appealing and easy to listen to.

I like the Bellian term. Faustina gets the Wiki credit. It could apply to paranormal topics like the term Fortean. But it could also apply to intrigue and clusterfucks and quitting when you're ahead.

This is so amazing. I owe you a favor for this. What’s your favorite bottle of scotch?

I'm not much of an alcohol connoisseur, so it all pretty much tastes the same to me.  I'll take whatever rot-gut you choose to send out.  Thanks buddy.

Rollye James just gave Heather some sound advice, which probably will fall on deaf ears.

Meaure twice cut once?

[Bluejay]

Looks like we may see two dueling "Midnight in the Desert" shows - though Keith's with a new host starts a week or more before Heather's.

There was some guy. Not sure where based but he was on WOAI which was a blow-torch who had a Jesus call-in show. It really blew me away when I caught it on the radio after a night of drinking years back and having some morning beers by the canoe fixing to go back out again. I couldn't quite "get it." (Later I looked it up and found out the guy wasn't not proclaiming to BE Jesus but sort of a 'what would Jesus do" type of thing.) But, for awhile, I was stunned that some major AM radio (in Texas) would have a guy saying he WAS Jesus on the air, and on a Sunday...)

That's probably the guy out of KFI Los Angeles via syndication.  9 a.m. ET Sundays or something like that.  Successful in other places moreso than SoCal...

[21st Century Man]

It sounds like you're talking about Jesus.

LOL.  It does, doesn't it?

[ItsOver]

And I'm still butthurt about your hanging up on me.

Having your own continent should help make up for it.

Jagermeister. It's fun!

Sound advice.

[SpookyTim]

How about SuperBeets?  Be aware there would have to be a SpookyTimBeets.com.

I love me some beets. Does anyone know if we can mix them with Carnivora and (appropriately cooled) Pizza Rolls to form the ultimate Super Food? And can I then order packets of that mixture to store in case the end of the world comes?

Seriously, if people really bought into everything they hear on that show, they'd be shitting their pants all day, waiting to die.

If Knapp had been able to do a show full time, Art wouldn’t have come out of retirement(s).

Plus, I'm pretty sure Knapp is still too tied up with his investigative reporter job for a local LV television station. 

Micah Hanks is another possibility. 

[K_Dubb]

Haha someone needs to record The Chase on the banjo.  Preferably two of them.  Maybe three?

[Catsmile]

Think that comes from here, kitty.

Learn it.  Know it.  Live it.


Pretty much what MV said on the first Gabast after Art's passing.   Art's gone.  Be yourself.   With the added advice of not getting hung
up on leaving DMDN.   Do your thing and if people like it, they'll find it.

[zeebo]

Well then don't be such a judgy Jesus.

LOL ... this guy, I think we've got a bellgabber.

Yep, Jorch really has insightful questions written down on his 3x5 index cards.  : I didn't like the snake oil guests either.

Send the Clan MacGregor to MV. Send the Ardbeg 10 or Macallans 25 to me via PM. Praise MV!

Did any of you ever see the pre-millennium jesus.com site?  It was this young long haired Jesus looking dude who was willing to sell the domain for 1 mill but in the meantime used it as a means for chicks to come bathe with Jesus. Genius.

THAT was the guy I wanted, years ago. I asked him to come on my show, but he was a minister and said he would never feel comfortable coming on pretending to be Jesus on another show. He said the schtick only really worked for his audience and he thought it would be blasphemous to present himself as Jesus elsewhere. I totally respected his stance. This other guy, Brown, just emailed me out of the blue one day and said "I'm the reincarnated Jesus and I want to come on my show," and I said, "Say no more, fam" and booked the dude for the show right before Christmas. I have a tendency to go full kamikaze radio sometimes when I get a particularly crazy guest proposal.

[MV/Liberace!]

THIS ^^^ is actually good. Praise MV! I hope it gets "radio play." Maybe one of Art's lawyers can negotiate some payola to get this record spun by DJs across the country?

i like your sense of taste.  thank you.

[El Chorro]

Jeff Belanger is one of the funniest people I know. He's one of my best friends and would be a perfect host himself. The problem is, he's too busy to tie himself down to a gig. But he could totally take over for George someday.

There are some peopleâ€"like Belangerâ€"who Noory might consider Coast property, so to speak. So he might have the same reaction even if it's not one of his hosts...anybody with a bio on the C2C website might annoy George (and prompt the kind of call from Keith that led to this discussion).

[Faustina]

I like the Bellian term. Faustina gets the Wiki credit. It could apply to paranormal topics like the term Fortean. But it could also apply to intrigue and clusterfucks and quitting when you're ahead.

Thanks!  An easy moniker for all the topics Art was into.  Could also refer to the main elements of Art's character if one wishes it to.

  The statement Keith posted on the MITD web site today is a work of art (no pun intended).  In three paragraphs he subtly but effectively paid tribute to Art, bid farewell to Heather, and started the countdown for the launch of a new era for MITD. 

  Keith has handled the tragedy of Art’s death and and the unprofessionalism of Heather’s antics with class and dignity.  Well-played.

I fellowship with him each and every Sunday on KFI.

Haha...in that case...whoops.

I think Jeff would definitely entertain an offer, and wouldn't be held to George. And he has his own projects going, with New England Legends, both as a PBS series and a podcast.

Where's your 8x10 on there??

I have to admit somewhat incapacity and so vulnerability at the time but the fake Jesus show struck me, almost  like when you first heard an Art guest or first heard a Phil Hendrie show and weren't sure... "is this real?" Because callers were calling in  "Hello Jesus" and asking about their problems and he, not HE apparently after I got back to civilization and looked the show up, responded with answers etc and I couldn't quite "get" the gig: Did he think he was JC? Did callers? WTF was going on?

[chefist]

$12,500 a year and all the woo woo vitamins sold on the show that you want, ? Ha
