Hi

[Robert]

Enjoying Dave's show but listening to it on my phone while I do some other work.  Came on just to say hi. Dave seemed unaware that Harold actually worked on the SCTV show when it first started.  He was on it from '76 to '79 when it was a half hour show.

Lot of people have forgotten that.  My friend Bob insisted I was wrong that Moe Green was stn. mgr., & that Guy Caballero was only a voice on the phone -- or not even a voice, just acknowledged by Green -- until the end of that season.  That was funny stuff, Ramis's sudden groveling into a phone.

That was the joke when Ramis came back years later to guest as board chairman Crazy Legs Hirschfeld, so Caballero had to answer to him.  I don't think many viewers got that, though.

Don't fear change.

BTW, TV is chock full of jokes that most viewers don't know enough to get.  Sometimes they're truly inside jokes in that you need personal knowledge, but usu. they're just based on something relatively obscure.  Many yrs. ago I started noticing all the 23s & 17s on TV, esp. commercials.  Later I'd be watching a Smallville episode the 2nd or 3rd time & crack up; I probably wouldn't've known to look for such stuff had Gough & Millar not done the Shanghai movies.

Does this mean you will embrace pie?

I will feature pie for 15 days in a row if they meet my hostage demands.
Oh, I mean if they change the start time.

I was all set for some live Friday Dave. 

btw, what are you doing out in the garden in the middle of the night? And why are there bees?

My humble little town has a lot of agriculture nearby.  There's been killer bee attacks on human and dogs.  My hedges, while flowering (is that the right use?) Make an audible buzz at 15 feet, there's so many bees.  I don't mind working on other plants but, lately, wasps and bees that buzz differently freak me out.  Heck, a couple of weeks ago, I was landed on by three bees and didn't freak but just calmed down a little.

Let's get this.  On one hand, Mr. Schrader was recently heard shilling for DMDN subscriptions, saying if you're in the Eastern time zone, go to bed already & listen on archive.  OTOH, is that their best biz model?  What radio network has their flagship program on the overnight?  Overnight's where you put the Not Ready For Prime Time Players.  Although DMDN does carry lots of other fine programs, usu. w a panel format, MITD is one of their best.

Good point.  It would drop Vara's numbers down to minivan capacity numbers if they were to shift the start time.

If it was to start earlier then more people would have a chance to, at least, catch the first hour.  As it stands now they may not have a chance to hear any of it and not know how much better MITD3 is.

If they are stuck on the time slot then I would put the first hour up for free the next day. Anything to get more people to be able to give it a chance.

Keith should also leave YouTube snippets.

If they are stuck on the time slot

The time slot's the "legacy" Ms. Wade's supposedly referencing.  It's a legacy in the bad sense, the sort of thing that holds back progress.  Art Bell had "Dreamland" occupying an earlier time, so he was more or less stuck.

I left the ‘open lines’ pity party and am back here listening to the voice of sanity.

As usual, Barthur Ell, Marketing Genius, is absolutely correct. Yes! Start the show at 10 pm Eastern! Yeah! Praise Bart Ell!

Another great show, even if it was on Memorex.

Enjoyable guests, host kicks ass, has a sense of humor, has a public life, doesn't fucking cry/whine/go drama on us.

[Belles]

Good job, Dave.  I didn't think the last guest would be very interesting,  but I enjoyed him

Occasionally guests would zone out during an interview and take the opportunity to catch up on email or play Freecell. One time Noory caught a guest jerkin' the gherkin. It was very embarassing

How did that apprehension go?  Was it all innuendo, or was there a confrontation?  Did he dump him asap?  Who was it?  They were never on again, right?

Ee gads.  Some killer swarm bees somewhere were attracted to the breath, the exhalation of humans.

Wasn't the 7pm pacific start what was originally planned as a gratuitous yield for C2C and so Dave could keep better hours? The last person I pointed to MITD earlier this week loved the show and fell asleep an hour into it.

[Sean92008]

Do you offer psychological counseling? I know of someone who wouldn't accept anybody other than a Radio-speaking counselor...

Should I call you "Dr. Barthur Ell, PhD"

As for the earlier start time, why not a one-hour teaser replay? Maybe an hour of Art?  Extra ads pushing people to the Time Traveler accounts...  The puppy dog sale...

Yes and the time is right to make it happen.
