Art retires. Comes back. Guy spooks Art. Art quits. MITD becomes a show for bellgabbers to call in to the host until Keith says fuck it. DMDN disappears.
The end.
Weird ride. Feel nauseous.

Bottom line up front (BLUF as we call it), Art has been claiming that someone or a group of people are harassing him by doing things such as shooting at his house and now himself. And now his wife has made him stop doing the show citing safety concerns.

There have now been several incidents where Art has cancelled shows because of potential shootings, and in one case this occurred while he was on-air. There have also been several claims made by Art that he has received threats both over the phone and via email that he should stop or else. The typical threats people like that make.

The most recent event occurred a few days ago, Art said that he was walking to his radio shack when he has shot at, or as he said it could have just been fireworks. After that his wife and daughter were so freaked out by what he thought had happened that his wife told him the radio show had to end.

Friday afternoon the show appeared to be good to go and then all of a sudden Art said he was done, now and forever. Heather the producer was thrown into the hot seat and had to somehow do the show at the last minute. Then Art called in and basically did the show anyway.

And that’s where we are now.
