art bell ▲ ● ▼		I want to take a moment because it's very, very important.
		If you have a smartphone, that's right, if you have a smartphone, it doesn't matter what kind, you know, Apple, Android.
		I'm not so sure about BlackBerry, but I think they probably work.
		Somebody should call with the BlackBerry so I find out.
		It's so easy to call us and sound like a million dollars.
		Now, what do I mean by that?
		Well, if you use Skype on a smartphone, oh my goodness, you really, really, really sound good.
		You sound like you're right here in the studio.
		And so what you say carries more authority, authoriti, when you say it.
		So, here's how you do it.
		You put Skype in your smartphone.
		You just go to the store and get Skype.
		And then once you get it, it is this simple.
		You go to add contact, not to where you dial a number, but to add a contact, a little plus sign in Skype.
		And you add me.
		And how do you do that?
		If you're in North America, America, or Canada, you add me by putting in MITD51.
		That's midnight in the desert, M-I-T-D.
		It's not case sensitive, 51.
		And then I'll be in your contact list, and you can press that and dial me free.
		Now, worldwide, it works the same way.
		The difference is, if you're outside of North America, you put in MITD55.
		Again, you go to add a contact, that's a little plus sign in Skype, and put in MITD55.
		And I'll be in your contact list.
		You can press it, and away we go.
		All right, before we get started, this is going to be a crazy, crazy show tonight.
		This is very serious news, I think.
		North Korea says it is all set for an all-out war against South Korea beginning at 5.30 p.m.
		That'll be 2.30 here in the morning on the West Coast.
		This is a deadline that this idiot in North Korea has set for the South Koreans to stop broadcasting propaganda.
		They've got all these speakers set up, broadcasting all the propaganda into North Korea.
		North Korea is saying if they don't stop, if they don't dismantle the speakers by that time, it is war.
		I mean, war.
		There's already been artillery exchange, that kind of thing.
		I think the North Koreans aimed at the speakers and missed.
		Doesn't say much for their smart weapons, huh?
		Anyway, they missed, and then South Korea fired a whole artillery barrage back at them.
		And now there is this deadline.
		And, you know, this maniac in North Korea, you cannot tell if he's serious, but giving a time deadline sounds serious.
		The U.S. actually suspended the exercises it was doing for a period of time with South Korea because they consider it that serious.
		So, you know, it could be the same old baloney from North Korea, or it could be a war just after I get off the air.
		Hard to say.
		The U.S. stock market took a really, really big hit.
		I think it went about 530 some odd points down.
		It's bad.
		Everybody is worried about China.
		China is driving all of this.
		Now, oil prices, on the other hand, are going down to about 40 bucks a barrel.
		So that's the good news.
		They expect the at-the-pump prices to roughly become two bucks.
		That sounds good, right?
		I don't know about the rest of it, though.
		The Vatican's chief astronomer says he does not believe that we will encounter any intelligent forms of life from outside our own galaxy anytime soon, especially said he, when it's so difficult to encounter intelligent life here on our planet.
		Ah, sense of humor in the Vatican.
		The father said that, or made an admission, actually, that the Bible is not a scientific book.
		This is Father Funes, or Funes, F-U-N-E-S, Funus, I guess.
		Funes, I don't know.
		Anyway, he says, if we look for scientific responses to our questions in the Bible, we are making a mistake.
		Now, when do you hear that from the Vatican?
		My goodness.
		All right, and here's the big one.
		This is going to drive a special line tonight.
		Now, we do have open lines.
		That means, yeah, you know, call about anything.
	I don't care.
	It doesn't matter.
	Anything that you want to talk about is fair game.
	But the Vatican now says that demon possession is at, quoting here, emergency levels.
	Atop Vatican meeting, demon busters and psychiatrists group warned that more and more people were dabbling in black magic, becoming possessed as a result.
	Walter Cascalani, the spokesman for the International Association of Exorcists, which is now holding its first meeting ever at the Holy See, said last night, the practice of the occult, Satanism, and abnormal things is opening the gateway to an extraordinary amount of demonic activity.
	They have never, ever seen anything like it.
	They are saying it is at emergency levels.
	And this will drive my special line tonight.
	Other than open lines and anything you want to talk about, what I want to know is the following.
	Have you made a deal with the devil?
	I really mean that.
	Have you made a deal with the devil?
	And I know a lot of you have.
	Now, I know it's going to be hard to pick up the phone and admit it, but I think many of you Will.
	And if you have made a deal with the devil, how's it going?
	Now, listen to me.
	Contrary to what you may see in the movies, there is not going to be some guy with horns, glowing red eyes coming to see you with a piece of paper to sign.
	Uh-uh-uh-uh.
	It doesn't work that way.
	You can make a deal with the devil by doing it in your head.
	You can say, I want a million dollars, and I am willing to...
	So if you're out there, devil, don't take this seriously.
	I've got my million.
	I'm willing to sacrifice everything, anything, whatever to get there.
	And once you have done that mentally, you have made a deal with the devil.
	You have.
	Believe it.
	It doesn't have to be a signed document.
	This is something you do in your own mind and your own soul.
	And I think that it is irrevocable.
	I think you cannot, once you've made this deal, revoke the deal.
	It's interesting.
	I had this topic up on Facebook, and I got a response before I even went on the air from Gary, who is writing from the Czech Republic.
	And he said, yes, I made a deal with the devil and every spirit of earth and sky for the woman of my dreams.
	That was five years ago, Gary says, and we are more in love than ever.
	We will, but it has cost me everything.
	Tough one.
	He may call in tonight.
	I hope he does.
	Because that's exactly what I'm talking about.
	This is a pact you make in your own mind.
	And again, I don't know this for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's irrevocable.
	Once you've made it, you may get what you wanted, but I don't think you can take the deal back.
	All right, so here's a quick rendition of the numbers, and then away we go.
	Are you ready?
	My public number, the one all of you can use, is Area Code 952-225-5278.
	Again, area code 952-225-5278.
	Put a one in front of that, of course.
	Now, if you have made a deal with the devil, I'm going to give out a number right now, and that is Area Code 575-208-7787.
	Got that?
	Devildoers, have you got that?
	Area code 575-208-7787.
	With all that said, I know it's hard.
	It's really hard.
	Well, there it's ringing again.
	So let's give it a try.
	Let's see what we get.
	You are on here.
	Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		I was actually just wanting to make a comment about something that you had said.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute.
		Wait a minute.
		You're calling that I made a deal with a devil lion.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
unidentified		I can't say it here then.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, you can't.
		Not unless you made it.
		You sound like you might have made a deal, did you?
unidentified		No, no, I didn't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, come on now.
		Come on, you dialed the number.
		You must have made a deal.
		Think back in your life now.
		There was never a time when you said, oh, no matter who it is, I don't care.
		I'll make a deal if I get someone.
unidentified		No, no.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, then I have to ban you from this line.
unidentified		Okay, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're welcome.
		It was a pleasure.
		Let's go to Shane on Skype.
		Hello, Shane.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
unidentified		Thanks for taking my call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You bet.
unidentified		I'm amazed, first of all, how clear it sounds when I'm on hold even on the Skype thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah, I know.
		It's astounding, actually, audio.
		Where are you?
unidentified		I am in Colby, Kansas.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And what are you talking to me on?
unidentified		I'm talking to you on an iPhone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, see, case in point, folks.
unidentified		And I don't even have the iPhone 6 like you've got.
unidentified		I got the iPhone 5S.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, they make good products, sir.
unidentified		Yes, they do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Even if their stock took a giant hit today, by the way.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So did your airplane.
unidentified		Yeah, I saw that.
		But they still make good stuff.
		I wanted to talk to you briefly.
		One of the most fascinating subjects I've come across in my life is Area 51.
		I can't read enough about it.
		And I heard you talking a couple weeks ago on a show about a caller that you had years ago who flew an airplane.
		And I found it on YouTube.
		And I listened to that.
		That's right.
		I've got to say, I think it's real.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, me too.
unidentified		I listened to that thing over and over, and I really think the guy did it.
unidentified		Now, my question is, did you ever hear anything about that guy?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, and I don't like losing listeners that way either.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I really don't.
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I think he probably went down in flames, more or less.
unidentified		Well, yeah, because the government wouldn't say that somebody flew a plane into Area 51.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Look here, I live right next to Area 51.
		I can tell you the signs are very clear.
		Deadly Force is authorized, and they're not kidding.
		They will use it.
unidentified		One more quick thing.
		Well, actually, two quick things.
		One, are you ever going to do a show on Area 51?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure there's no question about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I will, yes, of course.
unidentified		And then my final question, and then I'll let you go, is how close have you actually gotten to Area 51?
unidentified		Like, have you gotten to the mailbox that you see on TV where you can go?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I have been able to.
unidentified		And what did you see when you went there?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The mailbox.
unidentified		But you, I mean, what did you see when you looked out past that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, when you're in Nevada, you see a lot.
		I mean, your line of sight is probably 40 miles to 50 miles to the mountains, you know.
		So no saucers, nothing like that.
		Saw the mailbox.
		Thought about going further and didn't.
		You know, that sign is really effective when it says they will use deadly force, they will.
		And so, you know, you do it and let me know how it goes.
unidentified		I'm not going to do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have a good night, sir.
unidentified		Yeah, you too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See you later.
		All right.
		This is my I Made a Deal with the Devil line.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
		So do I have the real thing here?
		Have you actually at some point made a deal with the devil?
unidentified		Well, I went through a process that I thought was going to do that.
unidentified		I can't tell you with any certainty what degree of success came around from that, but I certainly went through a process and some very scary things happened as a result of that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why did you, most importantly, why did you decide to make the deal?
unidentified		I don't know.
		I guess I was very young at the time and I felt powerless and I felt like maybe this would be an opportunity for me to get out of economic oppression and several other things that I saw as my future at that time.
		I had medical conditions and poverty and I wanted to escape.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I get it.
		So what was your wish at the time?
		You wanted economic prosperity.
		You wanted money.
unidentified		Well, in actuality, I had already done a couple of candle magic things that I had learned by purchasing books at a New Age bookstore for money, and that had kind of worked, and a girl, and that had kind of worked.
		I'd seen some results from doing those repetitive, meditative things around that.
		So the actual request that I had at that time was, I know this is silly, but the ability to levitate another human.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		To levitate not yourself, but another.
unidentified		Correct.
unidentified		If someone were attacking me or if I wanted to, I don't know, coerce someone into doing something that if I could just levitate them off of the ground a little bit or something of that nature to scare them, that that would be sufficient to, you know, other goals.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So are you able to levitate anybody?
unidentified		No, not in any real way.
		I was a professional magician for a while.
		So I don't know to what degree that trickery works.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it sounds to me like you – That probably sealed the deal anyway.
unidentified		Well, what was very strange for me was I had purchased a prop skull made of plastic from a Halloween store or whatever.
		And I had a large black candle that I placed in the top of it.
		And I went through this process.
		I used a communion wafer, but it wasn't a communion wafer that had been blessed or anything.
		It was just something I purchased at a Christian bookstore.
		And I had prepared that and written requests on a piece of paper and burned it over that candle or whatever.
		Very interesting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We're talking about serious ritual here.
unidentified		Yeah, I just made it up.
		I didn't have a book.
		I'm not made up, but I just did it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You got the money.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You got the girl.
unidentified		But during that particular ritual, the candle melted very quickly, went down into the skull, which was made of plastic, and that melted very quickly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Further evidence.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Further evidence, sir, the deal was consummated.
unidentified		Yeah.
		And I was awakened by my parents.
		The room was filled with black smoke from the melting plastic.
		Where you have it?
		At some point, I passed out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds serious.
unidentified		That was my experience.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So when you get down to the big fire, well, how old are you now?
unidentified		I'm 41 now.
unidentified		I was probably around 17 at that time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I see.
		So let's see, another 30 or 40 years easily as yours, maybe even 50.
		And then.
unidentified		Well, no, actually, I have kidney disease now, about 19% kidney function.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So I've got another 10, maybe 20 years, and then.
		Well, okay.
		Listen, I wish there was a way you could, you know, when you meet your.
		What would be the right word?
		You know, normally you would say maker, but I guess your business partner.
		All right.
		Well, thanks for the call.
		I appreciate it.
		Very honest and very straightforward.
		There you have it.
		He cut his deal.
		I told you there'd be people.
		I told you.
		So the deal line, if you made a deal with the devil, it's area code 575-208-7787.
		Let's go here on the phone and say hello there.
		Hello.
		Yes.
unidentified		Hey.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lake Charles, Louisiana.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm just fine.
unidentified		I've been on hold, so I haven't been able to be hearing the show.
unidentified		I've had my radio off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you should be able to hear it on hold.
unidentified		No, it was just, there was nothing on hold.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah, nothing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, wait a minute.
		I'm going to put you on hold, and I'm going to count four.
		And you tell me if you hear me, okay?
		One, two, three, four.
		Did you hear that?
unidentified		Nothing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I beg pardon?
unidentified		Nothing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You did or didn't?
unidentified		I did not hear anything.
unidentified		It's just silence.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man, that's not cool.
		That's not cool.
		You're supposed to be getting program audio when you're on hold.
unidentified		Sure was.
unidentified		There's none at all.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Thank you for informing me.
		Yeah.
		I'll ask the next caller as well.
		What can I do for you?
unidentified		Hey, I just wanted to, first of all, welcome back.
		And I wanted to thank your family for allowing you to come back.
		And I'm sure that's a sacrifice on all your parts.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you're right.
		It is.
		It is.
		And I want to thank my family for it, too.
		They miss me.
		And, you know, doing a radio program takes more than you think it Does.
		People think, ah, you know, three hours.
		Come on, anybody can do that.
		No, it takes preparation.
		Yeah, it takes a lot.
unidentified		Well, we thank them because we get to reap the benefits of having you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
		I wanted to tell you about an experience that happened years ago.
		We saw a craft, per se, in my parents' backyard.
		This was probably 20 years ago.
		In the middle of the night, my sister had gotten up from her room and went through their living room, going to the kitchen, and they had a huge plate glass window.
		And she sees this disc shape, seemingly about two foot in diameter, circular, that seems to be floating.
		I don't know how much time you have.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, not a lot.
		I mean, you've got to get to it.
		So, okay, a disc, as in flying saucer.
unidentified		Seemingly.
		It's seeming to be floating and hovering, going up and down a little bit.
		It's got a green light, and it's foggy.
		It's a foggy night, and the green is illuminating the ground.
		And occasionally, it has a red flash of light on it.
		So we watched it for quite some time.
		My parents got up.
		They watched.
		We tried to take pictures.
		We looked at it.
		My grandfather, who lived about 15 minutes away, my dad called and said, you've got to come see this.
		We drove over, and then it turned into, what do you do?
		Now we're seeing this.
		What do we do with this?
		My grandfather had some friends that worked at the Sheriff's Department, and he decided that we needed to call the law.
		So they came out and got out there with a bullhorn and talked to it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So they're yelling up at a flying saucer with a bullhorn?
unidentified		Please state your business.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute.
		Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.
		You're telling me the cops came out with a bullhorn.
		They're yelling at the saucer to please state your business or what?
unidentified		They just wanted to know what's going on.
unidentified		And let me fast forward because I know you're short on time all the way to the end.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did they draw their guns?
unidentified		No guns were drawn.
unidentified		But by the end, Wildlife and Fisheries was dispatched to remove their mosquito trap that they had placed on my parents' property without permission.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're telling me that's what it was?
unidentified		That's what it turned out to be.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, good lord.
unidentified		Everybody was up all night long.
unidentified		And it was a fun night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure it was.
		All right.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		And the story that I thought went somewhere.
		And can you imagine?
		Come down now or we're going to shoot.
		On my I made a deal with the devil line.
		You're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
		Hey, hey.
		It's Louis from...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You did make a deal with the devil, right?
unidentified		I did make a deal with the devil when I was younger, when I was around 21.
		I'm kind of embarrassed, but...
		I wanted a lot of sex with women.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How's it gone?
unidentified		It went very well.
unidentified		I had sex.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lots and lots of it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Lots of it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You made this deal at what age now?
unidentified		I was 21 years old, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		21?
unidentified		I'm embarrassed to say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no.
		It's all right.
		I understand.
		Sex is a very strong, I guess, compulsion would be the right word.
		And so you basically said, look, you give me all the women or whatever women I want, and I will give you my soul.

		A man hiking near a local suicide spot in rural Queensland has snapped a picture of a shadowy figure that some claim is a ghost.
		The image posted to Toowoomba's Ghost Chasers Facebook page appears to show a bald man with a short beard wearing a red jumper standing among a stack of fallen branches.
		The group claims that a member who goes by Brock David was hiking in a national park near Goombura in rural Queensland when he started to feel as if someone was watching him.
		The ghost hunting group said that while hikers frequent the area, it is a rare sight to see someone dressed in red in the middle of remote bushland.
		Take a look at the photos yourself and let us know what you think.
		Do you see a Bigfoot in red?
		Darkmatternews.
		com A possible drunken spirit?
		Well, maybe.
		There's a bizarre security camera footage that's floating on YouTube right now.
		It's of a ghost that's spotted wandering around an empty bar after closing time, apparently looking for its next drink.
		This eerie apparition appears to float past the table in the center of the camera's frame where it hovers for a few seconds.
		And then just a few moments later, the blurry object just disappears out of shot in one sudden movement.
		This spooky spirit was spotted at the Shaws Bay Hotel in New South Wales, Australia, and the managers of the bar decided to upload the video to their social media site to see what other viewers made of it.
		But while some Facebook viewers were impressed with the ghostly footage, others were not quite so convinced.
		So go ahead, take a look at it yourself and let us know what side of the tracks you are on at DarkMatternews.com.
		Police are seeking clues to the whereabouts of a corpse of a 25-year-old woman stolen from a casket after her funeral at a San Antonio chapel last week.
		Mission Park Funeral Chapel is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to those who took Julie Mott's body sometime between her August 15th funeral and the next day when her corpse was discovered to be missing.
		Regions of the United States that experience dry winters and anticipate lower than average snowfalls have turned to a technology known as cloud seeding.
		This helps maximize precipitation.
		Nevada and Idaho are among 10 states using the 50-year-old technology in hopes of lessening future droughts.
		Cloud seeding works by releasing particles of silver iodide into the atmosphere either by plane or by a ground-based installation in higher altitude.
		The particles give water molecules more to latch onto In existing clouds and can increase precipitation by as much as 10% over the course of a season.
		Cloud seeding, though, cannot create clouds and it only works at temperatures under 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
		The state of California had 13 cloud seeding programs during the 2002-2003 season.
		A 2005 report from the California Department of Water Resources estimated that the cost to fund the precipitation enhancement program would be $177 million through 2030.
		The high cost of cloud seeding has made it the subject of some criticism.
		A 2003 report from the National Academy of Sciences questioned whether cloud seeding is worth the price tag, saying more research needs to be done to prove the technology's effectiveness.
		Nevada's Desert Research Institute is eyeing drones as a potential way to decrease the cost of cloud seeding.
		DRI may soon have the ability to test this technology, as the state was selected as one of the Federal Aviation Administration's six test sites for commercial drones.
		And others have raised concerns about the potential environmental impact of introducing silver iodide into the environment, as the compound does not dissolve in water.
		A 2008 study by the Weather Modification Association compiled years of research on the subject and found no evidence of environmentally harmful effects.
		I'm Leo Ashcraft for Dark Matter News.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And here he is again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Something about girls and souls and stuff like that, right?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
		So I was 21 and I ended up going to the seedy gothic club out in Los Angeles, Hollywood, California.
		And I met this really hot chick.
		She claimed to be a vampire.
		So, I mean, who doesn't want to take a vampire home, right?
		Well, clearly, I mean, all she did was suck.
		So it was just great.
		So I ended up taking her home.
		And when she was at my place.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, remember, you've got to keep your language clear here.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
		Yes, sir, of course.
		I took her home, and she pulled out a vial of blood, and she wanted me to drink some with her.
		So, yeah, that's what I thought.
		And I said, I'd rather drink your blood, and she obliged, and she cut her wrist a little bit, and she let me suck from her wrist, and then she wanted to suck from mine.
		And I had never done that before.
		I was young and didn't really know what to do.
		But I ended up going through with it.
		And just as things kept going.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How old are you now?
unidentified		I'm 38.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		38.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		38.
unidentified		Yes, I'm old now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you still getting women?
unidentified		I mean, surprisingly, yes.
		They just keep throwing themselves at me.
		It never stops.
		I get it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds good.
unidentified		So, I mean, for me, the pact with the devil was the best thing I ever did in my life.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I wonder, how many women, I mean, I'm after only a ballpark figure here, but how many women since you made the pact do you think you've had?
unidentified		Just a guess.
unidentified		Probably, I know it's been over 100.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my goodness.
unidentified		Yeah, it's been over 100.
unidentified		And, you know, the only thing that ever went wrong was just a quick bout of chlamydia, but that got taken care of real quick.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, listen to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A quick bout of chlamydia is going to be nothing compared to what you're headed for, you know?
unidentified		Yeah, well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's not so quick, trust me.
		Chlamydia.
		Yeah, right.
		So this is going to be our night, huh?
		People who have made a deal with the devil.
		Area code 575-208-7787.
		Listen, let's go make that look like a walk in the park.
		Hello there, Skype James, I believe it is.
		I don't even know how to follow that up.
		I don't know how to follow it either.
		Back away from your mic a little.
		You're too loud.
unidentified		No problem.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
unidentified		Well, Artie, it's really good to have you back on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's good to be here.
unidentified		I grew up listening to you late night at 36 now, and I've been listening to you ever since I heard you first on the radio back in my teens.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know what's going to happen to that guy who was just on?
		He's going to get down there, and they're all going to be down there waiting for him.
		And every single one of them is going to be diseased.
unidentified		It's absolutely hysterical.
unidentified		It's a great line for tonight, I think.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And listen, my devil line is ringing off the hook.
unidentified		Yeah, no kidding.
		One quick question.
		The audio, I have to say you and Keith have done a fantastic job.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		It's better than anybody else is doing, be a radio or online, and it just sounds great.
unidentified		So my question was, what type of headset are you using?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is a German headset.
		I really shouldn't go beyond that, but I use a headset mic.
		You know, that way I can move around in here, and I'm always the same distance from the mic, so it doesn't sound weird when I move around.
unidentified		Well, it sounds great.
unidentified		Again, we're just glad to have you back on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you.
unidentified		I do have one quick thing, though.
		Yes, yes.
		I did a little road project out there close to area 50, or excuse me, close to the Roswell incident.
		You know, Roswell's closer to the incident was actually closer to a city called Corona than it is to actually Roswell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you bring back any souvenirs?
unidentified		You know, I went out there, and it has got to be about the calmest place I've ever been.
		It's, you know, there's nobody for miles around.
		The wind blows, and that's about it.
		And it's a very calm, soothing, relaxing place where you can see the stars.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Even the birds don't chirp.
unidentified		No, actually, you don't hear birds.
		You don't hear birds.
		That's because it's really completely dead.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's a dead zone.
unidentified		That is a little truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They have dead zones at sea, and down there, I'm sure they've got one on land.
unidentified		That's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, brother.
unidentified		Appreciate your time, and that you're back on radio.
unidentified		We appreciate it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you so much.
		And, well, whoever it was couldn't hold.
		We had yet another I made a deal with a devil caller.
		And these are serious, you know, really serious.
		As I mentioned at the beginning of the program, it doesn't mean that you have to meet with a horned one.
		It doesn't mean that you have to actually sign a paper.
		It doesn't work that way at all.
		In fact, it's much more of a subtle thing, as you've been hearing from these callers.
		In your own mind, you can do it.
		You can say, look, I want this.
		I want all these women.
		I want all this money, whatever it is you're going to make the deal for.
		And you can seal that deal in your own mind.
		And trust me when I say it is irrevocable.
		So if you've made a deal for women, you might as well, you know, go all out, as it were.
		I don't know about that last caller.
		Too many TV shows.
		Hello there.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hey, hi.
		This is Tom from Florida, and it's Manny Roswell's, and it's a great honor to speak with you.
		Thank you.
		Yeah, I just wanted to bring up, first I wanted to state a comment and then give you an experience I had.
		Okay.
		The comment I have is it goes back to your question of like, if there are time travelers in the future, where are the time travelers?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's a good one.
unidentified		Yeah, I've often thought, I've heard the theory about all these UFOs that have been popping up around the world.
		I strongly believe that it's a very good possibility that could very well be us in the future visiting the past in certain times.
		And even experiences people have with these gray aliens, and they also experience humanoids with the gray aliens.
		It's very possible that the grays could be a form of biological robots that are like the assistants.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know what I think?
		Here's what I think.
		Right now, we're going through a period of intermarriage in America, in the world.
		I mean, you see people married to, well, my wife is Filipino.
		You see people married to Mexicans, to people from South America, Europeans married to Asians.
		We're getting this great mix that's going on, and it's accelerating.
		It's going faster and faster and faster.
		And I think that eventually we'll all be grays.
unidentified		Yeah, that's, and there could be, yeah, I'm just going back to the whole like people experiencing also humanoid climate change.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think we'll all be grays, sir, with somewhat Asian eyes.
		Think about it.
		I mean, if we continue intermarrying the way we're doing, we will be greys with somewhat Asian eyes.
		And I'll leave that thought with you.
unidentified		Yeah, and the atmosphere of the earth could change by then.
		Yeah, I mean, that's evolution.
		That's evolution, that's right.
		Also, the experience I had was in a house I lived in when I was a teenager up in New York.
		I believe it possibly had paranormal activity in it.
		The reason why I say that is I remember one morning I was sleeping in my bed, and my dad was, he'd be getting up to go to work and everything.
		Normally he would come in before he'd leave to say goodbye to me.
		Well, I was laying there and I heard him going in from out of his room to the kitchen and all that.
		And the door, like, I had my eyes closed, but the door to my, it seemed like the door to my room opened because you know how you can sometimes see the, even with your eyes closed, you can see the room brighten up a little bit.
		Sure, sure.
		I got that sensation, and I looked over at the door and I saw a shadowy figure of a man who I thought was my dad.
		I didn't really see features of him.
		And it approached my bed, and here I was waiting for my dad to lean over and say something to me.
		And it was just like it was never there to begin with.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Shadow person.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Shadow person.
unidentified		And what's weird about that is I remember we went away for the summer one year and we had our neighbors watching over the house.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you go under the covers?
unidentified		No, I. What kind of kid are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If you get a shadow person in front of you, you're an unknown being, you always go under the covers.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Everybody knows that.
unidentified		I thought it was my dad.
		I wasn't scared.
		I expected it to be my dad, but it wasn't.
		It was like it wasn't there to begin with.
		Anyway, we went away for the summer, and when we got back, the neighbors, they wanted to tell us something, and their little daughter, I remember her pointing up, her parents said, tell them what you saw.
		And she pointed up at my bedroom window.
		It happened to be my window of our house, and said, I saw an angel looking out at me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		An angel, huh?
unidentified		And yeah, and if you think about it, how would a little kid experience describe something like that?
		You know what I mean?
		It just gave me chills.
		And there were other little things that happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that one's not so bad.
		An angel is good.
		Unlike when I go to this line and I meet somebody who has made a deal with the devil.
		Turn your device down, double dealer.
		Come on.
		Turn it down.
unidentified		I'm really sorry about that, Mr. Bell.
		I'm in the car.
		I'm actually driving from work.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know you're not supposed to be talking and driving, right?
unidentified		It's an absolute honor to talk to you, Mr. Bell.
unidentified		And a couple of days ago, you had...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hold on, hold on, hold on.
		Hold on, hold on, hold on.
		I'm not going to let you go on.
		You've got to listen to me.
		Have you made a deal with the devil?
		No.
		I'm leaving the line.
		If they won't pause to talk.
		He was trying to get a story in, but it obviously wasn't the deal that I'm looking for.
		On Skype, I've got Matt.
		Hello, Matt.
unidentified		Oh, Uber Roswells from New Orleans.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How's New Orleans, by the way?
unidentified		I want to tell you about 10 years ago this week, I was listening to you as Hurricane Katrina approached.
unidentified		I believe you were talking to a friend of yours that worked at a Lake Charles station that you hunted tornadoes with.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that we just went with.
unidentified		Exactly.
		Something I relate very much to the storm just hearing you, I guess, probably a few hours before the storm hit.
		But it's kind of funny that Danny's kicking up out in the Atlantic right now, almost 10 years to the date when Katrina.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Currently category three, but nothing to be concerned about.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's going to run into a wall of dry air and dump a little bit of good rain on Puerto Rico, and that would be about it.
unidentified		Yes.
		Well, that would be a great outcome for everybody.
		I had a question, Art.
		I wanted to know if you were going to have possibly Michio Kaku in the future, one of my favorite guests you've ever had.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, we have a great lineup of guests coming, but, you know, I really can't talk about the guests coming because of reasons that I'm sure you understand.
unidentified		Sure, and I was just curious.
		I've always been a real big fan of Neil DeGrassy Tyson, and I know he's never been on your show.
		And I was wondering, is there a reason for that?
		Or do you have plans to maybe put him onto the show?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I have plans, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But, you know, I can't tell you when, but yes, he's coming.
unidentified		Well, sure.
unidentified		Great to have you back on Art, and thanks for taking my call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for making it.
		And again, if you have made a deal with the devil, then, and while I appreciate your well-wishes and everything, this is only if you made a deal with the devil.
		Otherwise, do not call this number.
		I mean, who knows?
		Think of it this way.
		The devil might be out there right now.
		And if he is, and he knows you're trying to call that line, he might assume you're a candidate for a deal.
		Trying to put you off a little bit.
		So if you made a deal with the devil, it's area code 575-208-7787.
		Special number 575-208-7787, but only if you made a deal with the devil.
		That's all.
		All right, let's go to, I don't know, let's go up here and say, hi, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
		Hey, talk to you, buddy.
		Hey.
		So I want to confirm that while you're on hold, you're definitely not getting any audio from the show.
		So that's probably why you got to.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Man, I so don't get that.
		When I was in a break, I called one of the lines myself, and I was here in the show.
		I don't get it.
unidentified		Interesting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, very interesting.
		How could it be on some lines and not other lines?
		I don't get that.
unidentified		Well, it's a bug.
unidentified		I'm sure you guys will figure it out sooner or later.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it really is.
		Hold on a minute.
		I'm putting you on hold.
		I'm going to count to four.
		One, two, three, four.
		Did you just hear me count to four?
unidentified		No, sir.
unidentified		I did not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		That's why we're all toggling back and forth to make sure we don't miss any of the show while we're on hold.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Got it.
unidentified		So I had a couple of comments about a show you had earlier in the week.
		You had Joe Rogan on, and I caught the tail end of that when he was talking about his sensory deprivation chamber or tank.
		And then you had David Sarita on immediately after that.
		And one wonders if David has his own sensory deprivation tank, because some of that stuff he was spouting off about, I almost pulled the rest of my hair out.
		I can tell you are a bit frustrated too.
		I mean, I don't have much hair to pull out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, nor do I, sir.
		I followed David to a certain point, and some of it I understood, and then he went off a cliff and lost me.
		And I tried to get myself back, but I couldn't.
		And apparently you couldn't either.
		So, yeah, that's the way it goes sometimes.
unidentified		Yeah, I mean, the first, the simplest way to see that there were some flaws in the mathematics he was using when he was discussing the standing wave frequencies around the stars.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And he defined it as the frequency is the speed of light divided by the radius of the star, or basically the circumference of the star, but it boils down to the radius of the star.
		Disregarding the factor of 2 pi.
		So the tones that you played for him, the one for Vega, it was a nice, beautiful tone, but it was a high-pitched tone.
		It was a high-pitched tone.
		Now, you also played a NASA measured tone of our sun.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And it was much, much lower, if you recall.
unidentified		Now, yeah, so if my third-grade math doesn't fail me here on your radio show, wouldn't the star with a larger radius be lower?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		One would think.
		But who am I to judge?
		But yes, I would think.
		And I thought, by the way, for what it's worth, I thought the sun was the best.
		I really liked it.
		I don't know.
		When I heard the sun, it sounded like something baking to me.
		And I mean baking.
		All right, once again, let us pick up the I made a deal with the devil line.
		Hello.
		Hello there.
unidentified		Hello.
		Yes.
		Hey, I made a deal with the devil.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You did?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And how long ago, you sound young.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How long ago did you do this deal?
unidentified		Oh, this is very recently, all right.
unidentified		I'm only 23 years old.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		22.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I'm impressed.
		I think.
		What was it that you wanted out of this deal for yourself?
unidentified		Well, the deal was that I'd give him my soul, but in exchange, he'd have to give his soul to God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that'd be a non-starter.
unidentified		Want to know what he told me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He probably told you to go to hell?
unidentified		He told me to get to heaven out of hell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		come on now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You didn't really make a deal, did you?
unidentified		No, that's all.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're another, yeah, I'm glad you're glad.
		Thank you.
		I do appreciate it.
		But, you know, I want people that made deals.
		Hello there.
		Did you make a deal with the devil?
unidentified		Hello, Ward.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do I have two people here?
unidentified		No, just one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I could have sworn I heard another voice.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Anyway, proceed.
unidentified		I mean, Joe of the Devil, but it's a little different than the other stories that I'm hearing on the radio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's quite all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Everybody has their individual deal, right?
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		Mine was almost to the day 18 years ago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Can you hold on during our break?
		Going back now to our caller.
		Hello there.
		You were telling us you had made a deal with the devil, right?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Anyway, 18 years ago, actually on September 27th, it'll be 18 years.
		I was in the middle of childbirth, and it looked like neither of us were going to make it.
		And I'm not a religious person.
		I just remember as they were, all the medical teams were rallying around and doing everything they could.
		I just said, anyone, you can have whatever you want.
		You can have my soul.
		You can have any part of me.
		Just save this baby.
		And right about then, her heartbeat started picking up and they were able to get to her.
		And as soon as they were able to get to her, she started crying.
		And I will tell you that there's been a lot of I've paid for the last 18 years, believe me.
		But she made it.
		And I don't particularly, I don't know, was it the devil?
		Was it God?
		Everybody can have their own opinion.
		But such I didn't, I just said anyone.
		I believe it was.
		And I believe I will, I have paid, and I believe I will continue to pay.
		But I hope that wasn't too boring of a story for you.
		But I think there's a lot of ways that we make tax with.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, in that case, I mean, it really, even though you didn't specifically make the deal with God in that situation, I'd sort of give you the benefit of the doubt.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're probably all right, but you did specify anybody, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, I didn't care.
		I'm sure you've not been in that situation exactly, but no, I certainly have not.
		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nor do I look forward to it.
unidentified		Anyway, I think you're all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's my pronouncement.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think you're probably okay.
unidentified		Okay, well, I didn't even know who you were until like a week ago.
		Really?
		How did you find my boyfriend, I guess, has been listening to you forever.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I see.
unidentified		And so now every night you, since you came back on, you're played until I fall asleep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I see.
		All right.
		Well, listen.
unidentified		Anyway, I hope I didn't bore your listeners too much.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no, no.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This way, when you pass on, you'll be surprised.
unidentified		Yeah, and not everything in life has to be about sex, just so your listeners know that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there was another caller who thought that it did.
unidentified		Listening for 18 years.
unidentified		I guess you heard that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I did.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		Take care.
		Oh, my goodness.
		Let's go to Tim.
		Hello, Tim.
unidentified		Oh, right.
		Hey, good God.
		I can't believe that girl was talking about no sex.
		Okay, early 90s listener.
		So for the Midnight Gambler, I would like to ask you, would you take a request or would you rather hear a story?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, when you say request, what do you mean?
unidentified		A request asking for somebody or something on your show.
		Or a story.
		Your choice, dealer's choice.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Whichever you feel is more important.
unidentified		Oh, my God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're the caller.
unidentified		You know what?
		I bet you get so many things anyway.
		Okay.
		Here's the story of 444.
		Two of my friends and, oh, I live in Los Angeles.
		So two of my friends were in Los Angeles staying in a high-rise apartment building, stepped out to have a smoke on the balcony, and immediately noticed that there was a gigantic craft hovering over West Los Angeles with the city shimmering under the reflection of the lower half of the craft.
		After this occurred, both of them noticed a very interesting thing, was that the number 444 always came up.
		And we can understand how you could make that happen in your mind, you know.
		But it was very interesting how this strange number 444 kept coming up with them, whether it was page numbers, things like that.
		And after they told me that story, now I know this one, where I think their original one's real, it's a real situation.
		But here's the funny thing about the human mind.
		They told me that story, and then I think I put that into my own mind, because after that story, I started noticing 444.
		You know, I'm like driving by the hamburger place.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but this is just a psychological thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If I talk to you about 11-11, you're going to see it everywhere.
unidentified		Absolutely, but I still think it's kind of a funny story.
		And just before I go, I'd like to say that I really appreciate the hard work that you do.
		I know that it's hard work.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		444, thank you.
		Take care.
		You know, that's such a line of, you know, that's just psychological garbage, I think.
		I'm sorry.
		I know they have people that talk just about numbers, right?
		Numbers people.
		What absolute hogwash.
		Hogwash.
		Hello there.
		You are on our I Made a Deal with the Devil line.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm very well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You really made a deal with the horned one.
unidentified		Yeah, pretty much similar to the other guy you had on that sex thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm sure that this sex thing is very, very common.
		I know that when you're in your early 20s, for example, the hormones are raging, actually, way before that.
		I imagine a lot of 16-year-olds made that deal.
unidentified		It's weird that you have this topic tonight because just yesterday I have subscribed to you on YouTube and I was listening to all your conversations with Father Malachi.
		And it was kind of weird.
		I started thinking about this.
		I haven't thought about it in years, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So how old were you when you made the deal?
unidentified		About 20, 21.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How has it gone since?
unidentified		Well, actually, there was a lot of I've had my share, that's for sure.
		But it's kind of like with a curse, you know, because there was all kinds of, you know, drugs and alcohol health issues.
		Oh, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We got that from the other caller, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So do you, at this point, do you regret the deal or do you look forward to a continued life of debauchery?
unidentified		Well, I'm 60 now, so hopefully I just turned 60.
		So I'm 70.
		Well, yeah, but I'm not knocking it, but yeah, yeah, yeah, so do I. But it's just that I, you know, well, I'm on Social Security now, so, you know, and you're on Social Security at 60?
		Yeah, yeah, I get I was unable to work except years.
		Well, because of, like I said, the mental health issues.
		It's a pressure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, so you're still raging away with the women, eh?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, not really, but it is, well, in that case, then you have only to look forward to payment time.
unidentified		Well, here's the thing.
		Well, here's the thing.
		When I was listening to the, like I said, the thing with Father Malachi.
		Malachi Mart.
		Yes.
		You know, I mean, I am a.
		I was a Catholic.
		I am a.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It doesn't matter.
		You made a deal with the devil.
		Yeah, I know.
		Doesn't matter what you're talking about.
		Irrevocable, sir.
		Irrevocable.
		You hear me?
		Irrevocable.
unidentified		I hope not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
		Irrevocable.
		No, no, no, no.
		No, no, no, no, no.
		You can't, at 60 years old, go back and think about all those women you had, and I know you had many because I can hear it in your voice and not know that you're going to have to carry through with your deal.
unidentified		Well, I'm not going to do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you don't think so, huh?
		All right, fine.
		Well, thank you for the call, and good luck.
		Why would somebody call me with a name like Joe Stalin?
		Joe, hello.
		You're on there on Skype.
		Is your name really Joe Stalin?
		Is this me?
		Are you Joe Stalin?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why does your Skype say Joe Stalin?
unidentified		Well, he's got a good mustache.
		This is such a pleasure to speak to you.
		It sounds like, oh, my goodness.
		I've been listening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me tell you how good the audio is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can hear a dog barking way in the distance.
unidentified		Yeah, and I. I keep telling that dog to be quiet.
		It keeps me up at night.
		No, it really doesn't make you.
		Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		I did make a deal with the devil.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You did?
unidentified		I absolutely did.
unidentified		Oh, by the way, I'm Jared from Salt Lake City.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe I should say, oh, goodness.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When did you make the deal, Jared?
unidentified		Well, I fell in love with a girl.
		I was 24.
		And she was 18.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		And I spent two years with her, and I really screwed up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you lost her?
unidentified		Yeah, I did.
unidentified		I absolutely did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And that's when you cut your deal?
unidentified		Well, not initially.
		You know, I was trying to weigh my options and things like that.
		I was praying, and it wasn't working out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Got it?
unidentified		So I said, okay, I'll do this if I get her back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's the deal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you get her back?
unidentified		I did.
unidentified		I absolutely did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And are you still with her to this very day?
unidentified		No, sir.
		And this is where it gets technical.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's no technicality about it.
		You got her back.
		There was nothing, apparently, in the deal.
		You said you would keep her forever.
unidentified		I don't mean to interrupt you, but there was technicality.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Like what?
unidentified		Because I got her for two years after that.
unidentified		You know, two years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you didn't say forever.
unidentified		I know.
unidentified		But let me tell you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's the way the devil works, see?
		You did get her.
		You got your wish.
unidentified		I did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And then you lost it two years later.
		Tough beans.
		You owe one soul.
unidentified		But the problem is.
		What?
		Is that after that, I became an alcoholic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, that fits me.
unidentified		And I have no ability to sustain a relationship anymore.
		You know what I mean?
		It's not like there's...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, this is the way deals with that guy go down.
unidentified		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You said you wanted her.
		You got her.
		And, you know, nobody said for how long.
		Nobody said how your life would be afterward.
unidentified		I know, and that's why I think if people are making deals with the devil, they need to make specifics.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, absolutely.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it's all about contractual law.
unidentified		I don't even know what that means.
unidentified		You're using the words.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, you need, the way you put it, you need to be specific.
unidentified		Right.
		And I wanted her until I. Yeah, but you needed to say that.
		I know, but that's why I'm on the air right now.
		I'm trying to tell everybody.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Don't do it.
unidentified		No, do it.
unidentified		Just make specific statements.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're not saying don't do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm going to do it.
unidentified		We're going on break, right, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Be specific.
unidentified		I just want to say before we go, I love you with all my heart.
		I'm glad you're on the air.
		You're doing the best you've ever done.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, brother.
		So let's see, what to do.
		Well, back.
		I just can't resist.
		Back to the I Made a Deal line.
		Hello.
unidentified		How's it going, Hank?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's going pretty well.
		You would not be on this line having not made a deal, right?
		So you made a deal with the devil of some sort?
unidentified		I guess you could say of some sort, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am saying that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what sort was it?
unidentified		And yeah.
unidentified		I mean, so and I'm not proud of it either.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand.
		So, I mean, tell us all.
		You might save somebody else's soul if you tell us.
unidentified		So it kind of happened a while ago.
		Okay.
		And I was living with my father and my stepmother.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And I really did not like my stepmother.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Stepmoms really take a bad rap, don't they?
unidentified		You know, that's what I always hear.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you didn't like her?
unidentified		You know, don't want to generalize, but.
		It's fine.
		So, I mean, I prayed and prayed even to God, you know, that just she would go away out of our family's lives.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		That went unanswered.
		I kind of lost faith.
		And, you know, I started praying.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I suppose you were saying things like, what kind of God wouldn't take her away, right?
unidentified		And I didn't mean like, you know, kill her.
unidentified		I just meant, you know, let our family be at peace.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so dare I ask, what happened to stepmom?
unidentified		She's no longer with us.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, again, we have a case of somebody perhaps not being too specific.
unidentified		Me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words.
unidentified		No, I was very specific when I prayed to the devil to take my stepmom's life.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you did pray to take her life?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And how long was it after you did your prayer that she expired?
unidentified		Maybe three or four months.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Pretty fast.
unidentified		It was very soon after.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
unidentified		And it was a car accident, and I was in an accident.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I bet when it happened, you knew right away.
unidentified		I did.
		Yeah, I was shocked.
		I couldn't even...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So this was how long ago, roughly?
unidentified		This is precisely three years ago.
unidentified		It happened right before Christmas, actually.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So how are you feeling about all of it now?
unidentified		Guilty.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Well, at the same time, I'm relieved because I didn't like her.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, right.
		And, well, an apparent success.
		And I don't know.
		This is going to set up a model, I'm afraid, for other people.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		I mean, I don't want to.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have any advice for anybody else who might be considering a deal like the one you did?
unidentified		I mean, it goes back to, you know, be careful what you wish for.
		Even though I got what I wanted, it kind of haunts me.
		And I feel like I'm...
		Well, I mean, this is hard for me to even talk about right now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand.
		But I said kind of.
		I mean, of course it haunts you.
		It's probably something we do every day now.
		Any ideas, any thoughts on what it's going to be like?
		I mean, for you?
unidentified		Going forward?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, going down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		I don't even want to think about that, really.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I wouldn't want to think about it either.
		I did a story, you know, it was a number of years ago.
		This would be such a good life lesson for you if I could possibly find it.
		See, I can actually stand up and walk around in the studio.
		You're hearing me just fine now, right?
unidentified		Yeah, I can hear you loud and clear.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, cool.
		Let me see.
		Do I have time to do this?
		Yes, I do.
		So the Russians, many, many, many, many years ago, actually dug a hole deeper than mankind has ever gone before, and they dropped a microphone in.
		I've got a wire story to back this up that I can't read right now.
		It's in Siberia, actually, to be honest with you.
		They dug a hole.
		And they lowered a microphone down into the hole.
		And here's what they heard.
unidentified		Here's what they heard.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Just give you a little piece of it there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds crowded, huh?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, and I'm not saying that that's what it's going to be like.
		All right, well, listen, thank you very much for the call.
		And all right, let's go to Jason, I believe it is on Skype.
		Hello, Jason.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hey, I'm a big fan.
		Thank you.
		I just wanted to know if you'd seen a movie called, it's a time travel movie called About Time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why doesn't that sound familiar?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The premise?
unidentified		Basically, a family has the ability to time travel, and I guess like when the male turns 18, his dad tells him that he can go back in time.
		Huh.
		It's really good.
		It came out like maybe three years ago or so.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		I really don't think I've seen it.
		And I thought I've seen every time travel movie that was ever out there.
		Apparently not.
unidentified		It's really good.
		It's not super sci-fi.
		It's more like a romantic movie and tells a good story and everything, too.
		So real good movie.
		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there was also another romantic one called Somewhere in Time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know about that, right?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Christopher Reeves, Jane Seymour.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Man, what a movie.
unidentified		Yeah, I haven't seen that in a long time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There's something so utterly, incredibly romantic about the possibility of travel in time.
		I love it.
		I absolutely love it.
		Anyway, I appreciate the call.
unidentified		Also, a guest suggestion.
		Yes.
		I know he has his own show, but are you ever going to have Richard Hoaglin on with you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, sure.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
		You know, the real problem, of course, is that I'm on for three hours, and then Richard follows with two hours after that.
		So if I had him on, he'd be on for a total of five hours.
unidentified		He could probably talk about 24 hours straight.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Richard can do that.
		It's true.
		Have you had an opportunity to sample his show yet?
unidentified		Once or twice.
		So I'm on the East Coast, so that's like 3 a.m.
		I'm about done at that point.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		Well, that's why we have the Richard has a $5 subscription, and he dispenses a very great deal of wisdom and science.
		It's really, actually, quite a good show.
		It's a different Richard Hoagland than you're used to.
		Let me put it that way.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
unidentified		Well, y'all check it back out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, he's, don't get me wrong, still the same Richard Hoagland, but different because he's more relaxed, and it's just really a cool show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Check it out, all right?
unidentified		I will, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, this time it is a break, so.

		A strange volcano-like building spews water instead of lava.
		Its welcoming windows adorned with moss and vines complementing the surrounding trees.
		It looks like the kind of place the blue folk from Avatar might hook up with hobbits and ewoks to go on holiday.
		But this is neither Pandora, Middle Earth, nor the Star Wars forest moon of Indore.
		Deep in southern Chile lies the Montana Magica Lodge, an extraordinary hotel hidden away in the center of a 300,000 acre private nature reserve.
		It might be completely artificial, but the lodge actually erupts every day, sending water running down the outside of the 13-room guest house.
		What makes this Magic Mountain Hotel truly magical is its location.
		The Magic Mountain Retreat in Los Rios is accessible only by foot, and intrepid guests must brave a swinging rope bridge to enter it.
		Located within the Hulo Hulo Private Natural Reserve, the hotel is nestled among the natural world.
		Among the things at the reserve are the Hulo Hulo Falls, Poodu, and the world's smallest deer species in the longest zipline system in South Africa.
		The Magic Mountain Hotel itself is built from local wood and stone, and each of the nine rooms are equipped with modern amenities, large windows to look out at the forest, and each room is named after a different local species of bird.
		Originally a place for friends to stay while they enjoyed the hunting and fishing resources of the Hulu Hulo Reserve, the name is from a favorite book of the owners.
		The story describes a mountain that has magical powers and grants wishes, the Magic Mountain.
		The lodge is indeed a special place.
		Scammers pretending to be employees of Facebook have been contacting people in the paranormal community trying to get them to send money.
		The thieves tell potential victims that they've won a contest and that they have to pay a transfer fee to get their winnings.
		Paranormal enthusiast Chris Mellencon was contacted by someone named Harris Edna of Facebook headquarters.
		Edna claimed to be an online promo agent that works for Facebook.
		The scammer is telling victims to send money grams to Geraldine Evanson in Londonderry, New Hampshire.
		Mellencon suspected that the message was a scam and warned friends on Facebook.
		A list of NASA award grants that fund technologies with the intention of transforming future space exploration has been published.
		And there was one entry that caught the public eye, turning poop, that's right, feces back into food.
		While this idea might sound like, well, total crap, it's going to be an essential obstacle to overcome if we ever want to send humans as far as Mars.
		There's only a limited amount of supplies that can go in a rocket to Mars, and there's already a demand for food, oxygen, and rocket fuel.
		It is an engineering challenge to stuff a spaceship with enough food for roughly nine months for a one-way mission, and longer if the crew plans on coming back home.
		But if the crew could simply pop their poop into some sort of recycling machine and eat the synthetic food that comes out, then this would make space travel much easier.
		It would reduce the amount of food needed to be taken on a voyage and maybe lengthen the time astronauts could stay in space.
		The grant total is $200,000 a year for up to three years.
		The lucky winners that will be making use of this funding to recycle poop back into food are researchers from Clinton University in South Carolina.
		Space travelers might not be so delighted about the thought of consuming their own recycled feces.
		They say that mental repulsion shouldn't be too difficult to overcome, though, since astronauts already drink their own recycled urine.
		But at the moment, we have no idea what the poop food might taste like.
		In the meantime, astronauts have started enjoying ISS grown lettuce, much more palatable.
		I'm Leo Ashcraft, Dark Matter News.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry about the hold, the no show on hold thing, folks.
		We've got so much to do.
		So let me go overseas and say hi to Mark.
unidentified		Yeah, hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Who's been very patiently waiting?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you, Mark?
unidentified		Yeah, hi, Art.
		This is Mark and Byrne.
		Not only did I make a deal with the devil, I made a legally binding contractual agreement with the devil.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's the wrong expression.
unidentified		You were too for 18 years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sneaky.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So it was now an ex-wife.
unidentified		An ex-wife, exactly.
unidentified		And I don't wish that upon anyone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, and actually, the suffering that will go on for possibly the rest of your life will be just as deep and as bad as you might get otherwise.
unidentified		Deep pockets, actually.
		If you want to talk about it.
		Deep, deep pockets, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, how's Switzerland this morning?
unidentified		It's good.
		I'm actually going to do a radio show in 20 minutes on community radio here in Bern.
		Really?
		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Put a plug-in for me.
unidentified		Okay, I will.
unidentified		And it's Radio Raba, Radio Bern, the first two letters from Radio Bern, non-commercial community radio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Burn, baby, burn.
unidentified		Exactly.
unidentified		Thanks, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much, and take care.
		Bern, Switzerland.
		I can't be ignoring the rest of the world, and I tend to sort of do that.
		Sorry about that.
		If you're outside North America and you want to call us, it's so easy.
		Just go to your smartphone, put in Skype, and then make like you're going to add a contact.
		And add us, M-I-T-D55, outside the U.S. and Canada, M-I-T-D55, and then it'll be in your contact list.
		You can just hit it, and you can call us like Raymond has just done from somewhere or another.
		Hi, Raymond.
unidentified		Hi, well, I just wanted to ask, what's your favorite subject?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		My favorite subject?
		You know, I have so many, it's really hard to say, but this devil thing does get me going.
		Maybe there is something there.
		Where are you calling from?
unidentified		I'm actually calling from Edinburgh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Edinburgh?
unidentified		Scotland.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Scotland?
unidentified		Scotland.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I've always, my whole life, I've wanted to go to Scotland.
		I've been close by.
		I've never made it.
		Would I like Scotland?
unidentified		It's a beautiful country.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You haven't made a deal with the devil, have you?
unidentified		I've never made any deals with the devil.
		How wouldn't you do that?
		I've talked to so many people today.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have you heard them?
unidentified		These people that made the deal?
unidentified		No, I don't really know any people that have said to me, like, can I want to make a deal with the devil?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, well, many, many, many.
		I mean, this phone line hasn't stopped.
		I've only got one phone line for people who have made deals with the devil, and it's ringing off the hook.
unidentified		That's crazy, like.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		All these people that have made deals with the devil, can't, because you don't know if you've got to, when you die, if you've got to lose your soul.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah.
unidentified		You know what I mean?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know.
		But people seem to be willing to do it for things like, well, women, sex, money.
		You know, these.
unidentified		And women.
		Sex, money, women, and power.
		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
		Power.
		I forgot power.
		That's a big one.
unidentified		It sure is like.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Want to be king of Scotland?
unidentified		Yeah, something Scotland.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you must have called for some reason that you have not yet enumerated.
unidentified		Honesty Deck and what I phoned for, to be honest.
unidentified		I was just got a phone to ask you what your favourite subject was, but certainly not as time travel kind of either.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Time travel would be up pretty near the high end of the list, but I don't know.
		I'm still exploring subjects, and I think it's going to be a long time before I get done, so I honestly, honestly can't answer that.
		If you forced me into an answer, I would say time travel for now.
		But, you know, we'll see.
unidentified		No problem.
		It was good talking to you.
		Here we are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good talking to you, too.
		Take care.
		That's some accent you've got there, Scotland.
		The cool thing is the worldwide reach that we've got here.
		It's just amazing.
		I mean, anywhere in the world can hear us.
		Now, in Scotland and places, Bern, Switzerland, for example, I think it's morning.
		So people are actually, if they sound a little groggy, you know, it's early morning.
		They're sitting there with their morning coffee or tea or something.
		Anyway, internationally, it's M-I-T-D55 in Skype, and then it's an absolutely free call.
		And here I think we have somebody who has made a deal with the devil.
		Hello?
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		Hi.
		First of all, welcome back or Roswell's to you, my friend.
		Well, thank you.
		Yes, I made a deal with the devil, and things just did not go good.
		No.
		Yes, my three biggest things I wanted was money, power, fame, land, actually four, and I got nothing.
		Actually, the only two things I got was a life supply of Chugga and a Berkeley water filter.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Seriously?
		I mean, you know, this is a liked water filter.
		Well, you know, you're going to need the water, buddy.
		You know, if you made a deal.
unidentified		I'm leaving you at this point.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, God, he's going to definitely need the water, especially for making that call and wasting my time.
		See, it's constant.
		This I made a deal with the devil line is constant.
		The number is Ericode 575-208-7787.
		But I've got so much to do.
		Agent 007, or otherwise Cameron, I think.
		Hi.
unidentified		Oh, hi there.
unidentified		Oh, you kind of got a little bit of feedback.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's because you're not using a headset, Mike.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're just yapping into your computer.
unidentified		I've got a headset, Mike.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, then it's not working.
unidentified		Oh, well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, now let me help you.
		See?
		I might be able to help you, and then I can help everybody.
unidentified		So what you do is you go up to tools.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You see tools?
unidentified		Well, I tested this when I used the...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're sounding a little better now.
unidentified		There, fix the volume.
		That's usually what it is with those.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, good.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Go ahead.
unidentified		First time, or long-time listener, first-time caller.
		No, just kidding.
		Everybody hates that.
		I'm up in northern Idaho, and we're surrounded by fires.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I know.
		Believe me, even here in the desert, by the way, we are our whole sky is full of smoke.
		I mean, it is awful.
		There is so much smoke from the virus here.
unidentified		Well, have you ever heard of the 1910 blow-up?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		Yeah, about 105 years ago today.
		It was actually on the 20th and 21st.
		There's a big cold front, which it's moving in again, and all these little spot fires started up all over the place.
		And all of a sudden, this cold front blew in.
		Hurricane force winds kicked up, and the whole thing burned part of Montana, a lot of Idaho, Lolo Forest, Pondere, and it just torched the whole landscape.
		Looked like something out of Fallout 3.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's bad.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bad, bad.
unidentified		But, yeah, a couple of things.
		First things, if there's any firefighters, I was thinking about writing something.
		If you have any creepy stories about weird things you've seen in the fires, I've kind of wondered if you have any stories.
		And another thing, you're enamored with time travel, aren't you, Ari?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am, yes.
unidentified		Are you into animated things so long as they're actually pretty entertaining and kind of serious?
		Not like Simpsons, but...
		Why?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You want to send me something?
unidentified		Well, I was wondering if you've heard of a show called Stein's Gate that kind of plays off of the John Teeter thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I have not.
unidentified		Yeah, it's based off of a visual novel, but if you have some time, I suggest that you look up the show, and that's Stein's gate, all run together, and between the two words, there's a semicolon, and it's kind of an interesting thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		And also, one more thing before I let you go on stop wasting your time, I want to say hello from X, Paranormal Ward.
		You ought to visit sometime.
		I host the thread every night during your show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, really?
		During the show?
		Okay.
		Well, thank you very much.
		And I certainly appreciate your call.
		Let's go overseas.
		I've been ignoring them.
		I know.
		I'm sorry.
		Matthew, I think it is.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Matthew.
unidentified		Yeah, well, you know, I've been trying to call your, you know, devil line, but that seems to be completely filled up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, no, no.
		Wait a minute, Matthew.
		Where are you?
unidentified		Where am I?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		I am from a small little town, Kingsbury, California.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, Matthew.
		Matthew.
		You're on my international line, so I'm going to have to ask you to call.
		I'm sorry, Matthew.
		Really, I am.
		I have to enforce that.
		If I don't enforce it, everybody breaks that rule.
		So you're going to have to use the 51 line.
		55, MITD55 is, you know, it's for people outside the country, right, in the rest of the world.
		And it's not easy for them to get through, especially through the rush of people calling from North America.
		So that's why we set it up.
		And if I don't enforce it, then they won't be able to get through.
		It's just that simple.
		But I appreciate the sentiment.
		I do.
		Mike, hello there.
		You're on the air.
		Wait a minute, Matthew.
unidentified		Mike?
		Yes, sir.
		How am I sounding?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Great, actually.
unidentified		Oh, good.
		Okay.
		I've got an update on a story that I told you two years ago on Dark Matter about a house I was brought home to from the hospital when I was born.
		Okay.
		Let's see.
		Where should I start?
		Well, my parents lived in a house that was probably possessed by the devil.
		And there was a room upstairs that could be very hot in the winter or in the summer, it could be very, very cold.
		And let's see.
		So they went and got some holy water from my very Catholic grandmother over in Illinois.
		And my mom's mom, my maternal grandmother, went upstairs and sprinkled the holy water on the door.
		And it shook.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The door shook?
unidentified		The door shook, she said.
		Visibly, I mean like, I don't know.
		I was one.
		I don't remember a thing.
		This is just a story I was told by my parents, and I'm pretty sure it's true, because they were freaked out and moved out the next day.
		Well, as an update to that, I'm now in a happy relationship with my girlfriend, and we have a baby, or, well, a three-year-old.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A three-year-old.
unidentified		And she actually told me that she lived in that house.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And everything is fine.
unidentified		Everything is fine now, but the weird thing is, is that when she lived there, because I asked her tonight, I go, when you lived in that house, did you see anything weird?
		And she goes, yeah.
		She goes, we could see Jesus in the wall in the paint.
		And everybody that come over could see Jesus in the paint, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, maybe somebody had a picture of Jesus up and tried to paint over it and didn't succeed.
unidentified		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe it was that or it really was Jesus.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Who knows?
unidentified		It could be.
		Well, hey, thanks for taking my call and Roswell's and Braps from Belgab.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Belgab.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Belgab is a site that follows this program to some degree or another, full of unusual people that I have described as vaguely lovable.
		Sometimes they're fun, sometimes they're mean.
		However, the one observation I would make about Belgab is, for the most part, it has more intelligent users than you will find on most boards.
		That's not to say they don't break out into, you know, like North and South Korea fights occasionally.
		Speaking of that, you're going to want to keep an eye on that tonight.
		It really looks like something is going to happen in the Koreas, or very well may happen.
		It'll be about 2.30 in the morning Pacific time or just a few hours from now.
		So that bear is watching because the idiot in the North has laid down a deadline, and he says either the South Koreans stop with the speakers or he's going to blow them to bits.
		All-out war, he says.
		So you definitely are going to want to keep an eye on that.
		It's pretty scary stuff, frankly.
		We have, what, 35,000 Americans there?
		Serious stuff.
		Hello, Michael.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Sorry?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, extinguish your instrument, please.
		By the way, while he's doing that, if anybody thinks they're going to call up and say a bad word on the air, it doesn't work.
		I've got a seven-second delay, so you're wasting your time.
		Okay.
		You all set?
		You've got to turn it off.
		Michael?
unidentified		I'm trying to call you, but I'm hearing the other broadcast.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Michael, that's because you've got to turn the other broadcast off.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		One comment and a question.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		First comment, I'd like to ask everybody to become a time traveler because you've worked so hard to keep this thing going.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		And my second question, I've always wanted to ask you this for many, many years.
unidentified		When you were in the Union Plaza, you were broadcasting from there, and the – No, my radio is off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can hear it.
unidentified		Anyway, now I can hear you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Union Plaza.
unidentified		At the Union Plaza.
unidentified		At that time, it was run by the Mafia, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wrong.
		Well, look, let me put it this way.
		It was Jackie Gone's Union Plaza.
		I have no idea if the mafia was involved at any point.
		However, let me comment a little bit on the mafia while we're on the subject.
		There are many native Las Vegans, including myself, who remember when a very great deal of Las Vegas was run by the mafia.
		And frankly, it ran a lot better than it does now.
		And by that, I mean there was less crime.
		It wasn't tolerated.
		The price of committing a crime many times could end up being a lump in the desert.
		We had a lot of lumps in the desert as you drive along.
		You'll see a lump here and a lump there.
		Sometimes those are people who cheated in years past.
		So the mafia was not, in totality, a bad thing in terms of Las Vegas.
		Now, since we have become law-like, since we have political correctness in the way the policing of Las Vegas is achieved, well, it's not like the good old days.
		Or maybe I misjudged the good old days.
		I don't know.
		On my I Made a Deal with the Devil line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Yes, this is my first time to call you or hear you.
unidentified		Please tell me what's the correct number for people who did not make a deal with the devil.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, the very fact that you called this line is sort of an ominous thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know what I mean?
unidentified		I've done things before that were immoral.
unidentified		Could I please have your regular phone number?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, you may, but you're always going to have to worry about the fact that you did call this line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So subconsciously, I mean, you haven't made a deal, have you?
unidentified		Well, by the time I got where there was a PIN, I didn't hear the first number because the second number grounded out.
		All right, all right.
		I don't have a SU-TRECK mine.
		I tried to get to the PIN.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I'm going to give you the number.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You ready?
unidentified		Yes, sir, please.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's area code 952.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		225.
unidentified		225.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		5278.
unidentified		5278.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Would you like to let me say something on this line?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
		I mean, I'd like to.
		Believe me, I'd like to, but this is for people who made a deal with the devil.
		So if you want a cop to a deal with the devil, sure, go ahead.
unidentified		Okay, I'll call on the other line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I thought perhaps so.
		Okay, well, all right.
		Now, I've done something.
		Maybe.
		I'm going to have to have some of you help me out.
		I think I may have put myself up on Periscope.
		So I may or may not be on Periscope.
		Now, here's the deal.
		You've got to be attached to my Twitter account.
		And I am Art Bell51.
		Let me repeat that on Twitter.
		I am Art Bell51.
		And if you are attached, then when I go up on Periscope, as I might be right now, hello, hello, hello.
		I didn't even have a chance during the break to get it pointed correctly, so I don't know if anybody can see me.
		Somebody on Periscope or who's on Periscope right now, please go to the wormhole and let me know if I am on or not.
		If not, I'll try and fix it in the next break.
		And if I am on, then welcome to watching the back of my head.
		It must be absolutely fascinating.
		Let's go to our I Made a Deal with the Devil Line.
		Hello.
		Are you there?
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
unidentified		Yes, I'm here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think.
unidentified		I started to make a deal with the devil, but when the great horned one and his minions appeared, as you call it, I chickened out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh.
		Listen, if you called, if you hold on a minute, if you called on the devil and the horned one actually showed up in person with his minions, it's too late.
		That's a deal done.
unidentified		I don't know.
unidentified		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is it you wanted?
unidentified		Well, I don't know if you want to hear what happened or the story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, but when you're making a deal, usually it's because you want something, right?
unidentified		Well, no, it's hard to explain.
		I was just out of the military.
		This was in the mid-80s.
		Okay.
		And I worked in the semiconductors in Northern California, the Bay Area.
		Okay.
		And this new woman at work showed up.
		She was very beautiful, very exotic looking.
		Boss wanted me to train her.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Train her?
unidentified		She started off with equipment, on the computer.
unidentified		We worked in the semiconductors.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trans, yes.
unidentified		And she started grilling me about religions as a whole.
		And then she strangely said, have you ever said the old, if you relinquish your soul to the devil, you'd gain fame and riches?
		She said it really strangely.
		And she asked me if I'd be interested.
		And I was very nervous.
		I just kind of jokingly said, oh, it's something to think about.
		Well, that night, yeah, all hell broke loose.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In what sense?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, were you with her that night?
unidentified		No, no, no, sir.
		Not at all.
		She just threw that one out there, and the shift ended.
		And it was one of those nights where my parents were off on vacation.
		They asked me to house it for them.
		So I was in my old home, in my old room, and somewhere between like 1 in the morning and 4 in the morning, I heard this laughter, just this bizarre, just the weirdest laughter you've ever heard.
		Basically, just like that.
		And so I jumped out of my bed, opened my door, and I noticed every light on in the house.
		And even the oven light was on.
		The oven light.
		And I ran down.
		Yeah, I mean, every light, every light was on.
		I mean, you name it.
		If there was a light involved, it was on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The oven light, sir, was just symbolic for you.
unidentified		It could have been, exactly.
unidentified		And when I ran to the family room on those older TVs, when you shut them off, you know how the colors used to swirl and kind of fade out?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, to a little dot.
unidentified		Yeah, exactly.
		Well, that's where the laughter was coming from.
		And so when I ran in the family room, the TV was just turned off and the laughter stopped.
		Well, I'm a chicken by trade, and I jump at my own shadow, but I wasn't scared at all.
		So I'm thinking someone knew I was there.
		Someone's playing a prank.
		I mean, I'm checking the doors.
		All the doors are locked.
		I'm looking under beds.
		I'm looking in closets.
		I'm looking, you name it.
		My parents used to have little dowels in the windows that could only open the windows like a couple inches.
		I made sure all those were in place.
		Checked the garage.
		Every garage light was on.
		This happened twice.
		The second time, even more laughter.
		There was like seven people laughing.
		Just really laughter.
		Well, the third time it happened, my dad's office door was slamming shut, opening up, slamming shut.
		And I opened my bedroom door just to see it swinging open.
		Every light was on again, and that's when I realized I was being ready to make the deal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What makes you think you didn't make the deal?
		You don't get that kind of attention.
		You don't get that kind of visitor without a deal having gone down.
		Doesn't that worry you?
unidentified		Well, no, because nothing went down yet.
		This lady asked me, which, by the way, she never did show up at work anymore.
		Yeah, but you did say you repeated what she said.
		She said, would I?
		And I said, it's something to think about.
		Well, I think I was being tested.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you were.
unidentified		The question is whether you passed or failed.
unidentified		Well, I told them to leave, and I didn't mean any bit of it, and nothing has ever happened ever since.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's still time left in your life.
unidentified		Let me know how it comes out.
		We'll do Art.
		I appreciate it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thanks, buddy.
		Take care.
		Let's go to, I think, Phoenix on the phone.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
		I'm setting off the line because of the hold.
		Thank you.
		It's Phil from Phoenix.
		It's great to hear you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		You're a visionary.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not a visionary.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not a visionary.
unidentified		Yeah, you are, my friend.
unidentified		It's so interesting that people mention Union Plaza and also Parasite Radio because I listened to you from the 90s and I remember seeing first.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hold on.
		That's awful.
		It's not called Parasite Radio.
		And it's not radio.
		It's video.
		It's Periscope.
unidentified		I know.
		I'm sorry.
		I'm nervous, Art.
		I am too.
		Yeah, I caught by surprise because of the delay on the DM.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They could be offended by that.
unidentified		Yeah, and I sincerely apologize, and Art didn't make the mistake I did.
		But I do want to see your first time in space on the days of 9600 bought on Videotron.
		Whoever knew that we would have that.
		But I really wanted to ask you the question.
		I knew before you got back on the radio that on this show here that you had some problems with the bumper music, how you were going to be able to get it on the right side.
		And what happened there?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, what happened there is we joined as what is called, we found something called a small webcaster model, which allows us at least, I mean, the music is very expensive, but in my case, I just wouldn't do the show without the music.
		I just wouldn't do it.
		So we found a way to do it, and it's called the small webcaster model, and there you have it.
unidentified		Cool.
		Well, I'm a time traveler now to help you support that because all my days between Phoenix and California, when I moved out there, and also listened to you from Union Plaza, AMDXing, it's been a pleasure.
		I'll leave with one last comment.
		The show that you had with Flat World John.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		I'm surprised you didn't have Crackerbox Palace as a bumper song.
		But other than that, I'll leave the line for somebody else.
		We're so glad to have you back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much.
		You know, let me tell you something about that.
		While everybody thought that that was crazy, and it was, the Flat Earth Show has received more comment.
		I don't want to say than anything else we've done, but it absolutely has received just endless comment.
		Not all of it positive, but that's the way radio is.
		A lot of times, what gets people to listen?
		Well, it's something they either love or it's something they hate.
		And a lot of people hated it.
		But you cannot underestimate the passion that these people who believe the earth is flat have.
		I mean, you simply cannot underestimate that passion.
		And these are otherwise bright people.
		So I'm not sorry that I did that program.
		Not at all.
		And in fact, I might do another.
		You never know.
		I'm telling you, the passion is unreal.
		Anyway, let's go to my special, I made a deal with the devil line.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Is this art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you are on the I Made a Deal with the Devil Line.
unidentified		That's awesome.
		You know what?
		I've noticed that there's an absolute lack in women calling tonight.
		Like, we don't make deals with the devil.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, mostly People make deals for you, my dear.
unidentified		Well, you know, I don't think that that happened in my case, but my story is a little bit different.
unidentified		Like, I haven't necessarily made the deal, but I've definitely had the offer more than once.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean you had the offer?
		You mean somebody came and said, Look, I can take care of that for you.
		All you need to do is XYZ?
unidentified		Well, yeah, pretty much.
		That's kind of been it.
		I've had a series of dreams over the last two years or so where this entity has come to me in my dream and basically told me that I can have whatever I want.
		He'll give me whatever I want.
		I just have to be specific, and I just have to either give him my soul or the soul of someone I love.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, see, there was somebody here earlier who said, who had made a deal with the devil, and he said, one of the things you need to be sure of is that you are very specific about what you want.
unidentified		Right.
		Right.
		I heard that caller, and that's absolutely true.
		And it's something that I'm aware of.
		I've practiced witchcraft since I was 13 years old.
		So I'm definitely aware of the specifics.
		Yes.
		You know, and I'm definitely aware that I've probably opened up some energies that I shouldn't have.
		But, you know, you had the priestess from the Church of Satan earlier in the week, and she said something that really struck me that was kind of related.
		And it was that, you know, that kind of thing will drive you to the brink of madness.
		And I can definitely say in the last two years, despite the fact that I haven't really buckled down and said, okay, you can have my soul, and, you know, we're going to do this, it's definitely changed me as a person.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you're obviously teetering, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds like you're very close.
unidentified		It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
		You know, it told me that it would take the soul of somebody that I loved, but to me, that's kind of like, I don't know, like a Freudian slip.
		Like, if I loved that person, I wouldn't give their soul to the devil.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, at least you're not giving your own soul.
		I mean, I know it's selfish, but there's a lot of souls going here and there.
		And so, I mean, if you really want whatever this is, then as long as it's not me.
unidentified		Right.
		I feel it.
		I would never do that, Art.
		I swear.
		I would never do that.
		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, all right.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		But see, really, technically, I should have not let you get away with that.
		Yes, you were teetering on a decision, but you had not yet made one.
		James, on Skype, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, Belgab Roswell's there, Art.
		Well, thank you.
		Just wanted to tell you, I did cut a deal, not going into specifics.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, this must be MV.
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I'm sorry.
unidentified		No.
unidentified		I'm from Ohio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		So you actually did cut a deal.
		Yeah.
unidentified		Anyways, my thing was I grew up in a trailer in the Styx.
		And I wanted to travel the world.
		I also wanted to achieve certain goals militarily and also in law enforcement.
		So I went into the Army at 17.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Went into the Marine Corps at 20.
		Fought in the Gulf War.
		After the Gulf War in Okinawa, I found Jesus.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Was this before or after the deal?
unidentified		After.
		After.
		I was a young kid.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It doesn't work that way.
unidentified		Well, it does, and I'll tell you why.
unidentified		I know it does.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It doesn't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Once you cut a deal, it's irrevocable.
unidentified		You say that, Art, but I do.
		I do.
		And I'll tell you why I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we'll find out at the end, right?
unidentified		Well, I will.
		But what I'm telling you is my experience.
		My experience was I still do what I do overseas.
		I'm still a contractor.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And, you know, I've seen that I'm able to actually affect people in a positive manner.
		Yes.
		And also, you know, it just, it's a total sea change from when I was 22 after the Gulf War.
		And it just, you can tell when the worm has turned, as they say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, yes, but you made a deal.
		That's the worm turning.
		That's the worm turning.
unidentified		I agree with that, but I'm saying that I did it as a minor who did not have full copy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, so you really think that the devil cares about how old were you at the time?
unidentified		Probably around 14.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		14.
unidentified		Yeah.
		And there is something called, you know, even in law, somebody who's a minor and nonsentient, and trust me, I was an ignorant hillbilly.
		There's a big difference.
		And anyways, that's my story.
		It's truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you're sticking to it, right?
unidentified		Well, I'm sticking to it, and I'm telling you, I love your show.
unidentified		But I just wanted to give you a big bellgab Roswell and tell you that you're the man.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, buddy.
unidentified		You take care of it, brother.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, later.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's know.
		Let's go here.
		Let's go outside the country.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It looks like Michelle.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Michelle.
unidentified		So, okay, I'm watching you on the Periscope on my iPhone and listening to you on my iPad.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How cool is that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That is awesome.
unidentified		This is the coolest thing in the world.
unidentified		This is so cool, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is.
unidentified		It is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's an amazing world we live in now.
unidentified		Isn't it just?
		And I love your studio there.
		I remember pictures of your old studio, and it looks so huge, and everything everywhere, and so many machines and everything.
		And this was just seems so simple and easy to use.
		It is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There are parts of it that you can't see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would have to point the camera around, but there are racks of equipment and stuff like that.
unidentified		I've got two things for you.
unidentified		First of all, where'd you get that LED clock on the wall?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's cool.
		Let me give you a good shot of that.
		I love that clock.
unidentified		That is the coolest clock.
unidentified		I'm just watching the video, and I can't stop looking at the clock.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There would be, coming pretty quick, a good, clear shot of it.
unidentified		Ah, yeah, I see.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I actually own three of those in totality.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I love them so much.
unidentified		That's cool.
		That is so cool.
		So I was going to say a story for you.
		When I was a kid, Michelle, you're in.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Japan?
unidentified		Japan.
		Japan, yes.
		Near Fuji.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		Actually going to go climb it next weekend.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're going to climb Fuji?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		So when I was a kid, my dad used to go and he'd have to make deliveries real late at night.
		He was a steel draftsman, and sometimes they'd ask for last-minute changes.
		He'd have to go deliver them real late at night.
		So he'd put me in his truck and off we'd go at, you know, 1-2 in the morning.
		And I would sit there in the truck and wait while he was talking over the plans and everything.
		And he'd be listening to you.
		And, I mean, I'm maybe, you know, 11, 12, that kind of range, listening to you talking about aliens.
		And you used to scare the crap out of me.
		But I loved it.
		And now, you know, listening to you again and then going back and listening to those old shows.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not much has changed.
unidentified		No, you know, in a lot of ways, I don't think it has, really.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
		No.
		You still do the same thing.
unidentified		And so that reminded me, too.
		Guest I wanted to ask you about.
		Sure.
		Do you have any plans to have or know anything about David Politis?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, he's coming.
		You know, I really don't.
		I don't want to give away about guests, but people ask me and I can't resist.
		So yes, he's coming.
		He's coming.
unidentified		Well, he's one of the ones that of all the things that I've heard in all the years I've been listening, his scares the crap out of me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know what?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He may know where some of the people who are admitting to these deals tonight are.
unidentified		No, that's a thought.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's a thought.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Michelle.
unidentified		His really, just because the realism, the fact that it's so verifiable, it's really happening, and he has no idea why it's happening is what makes it so scary.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Would you like to talk to somebody who's made a deal with the devil?
unidentified		Sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Hello there.
		Have you made a deal with the devil?
unidentified		I have.
		I was about 14 years old after my father had passed away.
		And, well, I grew up in kind of a party house and had some crazy role models and whatnot.
		And when I was younger, we went ahead and we started cutting our cells, you know, and our left wrist and drawing the blood out onto a piece of paper.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Now, what we had to do in order to sell our soul to the devil was to go ahead and sign our name in our blood and signing it over to the devil then burning it in our wood stove.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you did that?
unidentified		And of course.
		Where'd you hear that?
		Who told you that?
		It was an old friend of ours we grew up with and partied with.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're talking to Michelle in Japan, just so you understand.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
		Hello.
		Hi.
		Hi, Michelle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, Michelle, go ahead.
		Interview her.
		Let's find out about this.
unidentified		Okay.
		Well, you know, so I grew up, when I was a kid, I went to a Baptist school.
		And I'm very far from that now.
		But when I was a kid, even talking about that kind of stuff was a big no-no.
		I mean, it was drilled into our heads that we were going to go straight to hell, that something horrible was going to happen.
		So did you, what did you think?
		I mean, did you think anything was going to happen?
		Did you have that in your mind at all?
		At the time, I thought it was possible.
		It was right after my dad passed away, and my mom moved out of the house.
		And so it was just me and my brother raising ourselves, and we were teenagers.
		We were a single party house.
		Basically, yeah.
		And actually, two years later, my mother ended up overdosing on medication and passing away as well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, you know, you don't make a deal for nothing.
		So, I mean, what did you want in return for this?
unidentified		Well, I wanted my dad back.
		Well, that didn't exactly happen.
		There's a show that's really popular in Japan about a bunch of alchemists, a couple kids that are alchemists that try to bring their mom back to life using alchemy, which is the one thing you're absolutely prohibited from doing is trying to bring someone back to life.
		And it ends up ruining their life and putting them on a journey to try and fix everything.
		Actually, his brother gets turned into a suit of armor because his soul gets disconnected from his body.
		And they really messed up their lives trying to do that.
		And so it just kind of reminded me of that.
		But that's scary stuff.
		That's the one thing, trying to bring someone back from the dead, man.
		Yeah, well, I didn't know exactly what I was doing.
		I just knew that I was willing to do what I could.
		And we also, like I said, party house, so drinking was involved as well.
		And other people were on drugs.
		So it was a little bit of a crazy thing, but we had some crazy circumstances arise after that.
		We had some Ouija boards brought into my home as well.
		And we moved our hands.
		That thing moved.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my.
unidentified		I don't know how many times.
unidentified		No Ouija boards.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, it's cardboard.
unidentified		And it was moving fully.
unidentified		It was pretty insane.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, it sounds insane.
		Michelle, thank you, and thanks for helping with the interview.
		And so my question to you is, how do you feel now about the fact that, well, your fate is sealed in blood at that time?
unidentified		Well, I, you know, I just live life.
		I don't look at all the negative things that happen and think that that's the reason, you know, but I do, you know, it does go through my mind here and there of, you know, am I cursed?
		I ended up dating a coworker of mine.
		And, well, his son's name was Damien, and his name was Byron.
		And the thing about it was, is it was, it was, I didn't know that he was considered a Satanist.
		He told me he did not believe in, you know, Satan and all this, but I went over to his house and he had, you know, all sorts of Satanist books and a few other weird books.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, listen, I've got a break.
		I've got a break.
		I've got to break here.
unidentified		Okay, well, thank you so much, Arthur.
unidentified		You're very welcome.
leo ashcraft ▲ ● ▼		Dark Matter News.
		I'm Leo Ashcraft.
		The first rainfall to wash over a Tianjin since a series of blasts struck a warehouse in the Binha district last week has sparked a new wave of concern as an unidentified white foam has appeared on the city streets.
		And as the South China Morning Post reports, some have claimed that the rain had burned their skin and lips, which would be consistent with the text message purported to have emanated from the American embassy, which by the way immediately denied its authenticity, advising workers to avoid all contact between their skin and the rain.
		As the rain progressed, an unusual white foam emerged on roads near the blast site.
		A journalist reported feeling burns on the lips and arms after being exposed to the rain.
		As for the official explanation for why the streets in Tianjin are now running white and what might very well be an extremely toxic cyanide-laced foam, Tianjin's Environmental Monitoring Center says it's a normal phenomenon when rain falls and similar things have occurred before.
		And if that explanation wasn't enough for you, consider this.
		There has been a massive fish die-off some six kilometers away from the blast site.
		A separate investigation is underway, but the government says no cyanide was detected in sample water.
		But clearly after the massive blast in Tianjin, something is causing the white foam on the streets, burning of the skin, and massive quantities of fish dying in the sea.

		Inspired partially by science fiction, NASA scientists are seriously considering space elevators as a mass transit system for the next century.
		Does this sound like a sci-fi channel or a chapter out of Arthur C. Clarke's Fountains of Paradise?
		Well, it is a real possibility.
		A space elevator that researchers are considering as a far-out space transportation system for the next century.
		David Smitherman of NASA's Marshall's Advanced Projects Office has compiled plans for such an elevator that could turn science fiction into reality.
		His publication, Space Elevators and Advanced Earth Space Infrastructure to the New Millennium, is based on findings from a space infrastructure conference held at the Marshall Space Flight Center.
		The workshop included scientists and engineers from government and industry representing various fields such as structures, space tethers, materials, and earth space environments.
		A space elevator is essentially a long cable extending from our planet's surface into space with its center of mass at a geostationary Earth orbit, 35,786 kilometers in altitude.
		Electromagnetic vehicles traveling along the cable could serve as a mass transportation system for moving people, payloads, and power between Earth and space.
		The current plans call for a base tower approximately 50 kilometers tall.
		The cable would be tethered to the top.
		To keep the cable structure from tumbling to Earth, it would be attached to a large counterbalance mass beyond geostationary orbit.
		Perhaps an asteroid moved into place for that purpose.
		Four to six elevator tracks would extend up the sides of the tower in cable structure going to platforms at different levels.
		These tracks would allow electromagnetic vehicles to travel at speeds reaching thousands of kilometers per hour.
		During a speech he once gave, someone in the audience asked Arthur C. Clarke when the space elevator would become a reality.
		Clark answered, probably about 50 years after everybody quits laughing.
		He's got a point.
		Once you stop dismissing something as unattainable, then you start working on its development.
		Now, considering this article on science.nasa.gov was written some 16 years ago, I guess the laughing has not stopped yet.
		But when it does, this is going to be an exciting development.
		I'm Leo Ashcraft for Dark Matter News.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, if you've made, as so many have tonight, a deal with the devil, then you're going to want to call us at the following number.
		575-208-7787.
		That's the number.
		You never know.
		Admitting what you've done, confessing as it were, might help.
		I doubt it, but it might.
		Area code 575-208-7787.
		And my, it's been a busy line.
		MJP, it's your turn.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		It's been a while since we've talked on the phone back from the ham fans days and all the rest of that nutty stuff.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Long time ago.
unidentified		Actually, I'm wondering for Halloween, you should do a whole week of open lines, different topics, all night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'm thinking it over what Halloween is going to be on the area.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's going to be something special, that's for darn sure.
unidentified		Oh, yes, definitely.
		I don't know.
		I keep listening to these people saying they've made a deal with the devil, but you know what?
		If they've made a deal, they better get a receipt so they can get their money back when things don't work out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, so far, of those that have called, not much has worked out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, the people have received what they asked for, and usually then things kind of go sideways.
unidentified		Well, you never get what you ask for when you're trying to sell your soul because that's the way it works.
		Nothing will ever go the way you plan.
		The devil is in the details.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So they've said, yes.
		In other words, when you make your deal, at least get the details down.
		In other words, if you ask for a girl, I mean, you'll get her.
		That doesn't mean two years later, you're still going to have her.
unidentified		Well, exactly.
		This is the thing, is people don't really understand all this stuff.
		When it comes to the devil demonic Sauge board, playing with That stuff by yourself.
		I kid you not, that's not a cool thing to do.
		You know, people, you know, really just don't understand what they're getting into because the mind is a very powerful thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is indeed.
		All right.
		Well, thank you for the call.
		We're short on time.
		On my I sold my soul to the devil line.
		You're on.
		Hello.
unidentified		Oh, great.
		Great.
		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So many of you that have sold your soul to the devil sound so cheerful.
unidentified		Well, you know, I would be more cheerful if I actually had been able to successfully sell my soul to the devil.
		I have tried and tried and tried, but nothing works.
		And, you know, honestly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
		No, no, no, no.
		No, no, no, no.
		If you have tried to sell your soul to the devil, you're just buying it.
		You're selling again and again because it gets sold first time around.
unidentified		I see.
unidentified		I don't know if that's really how it works because I have not gained anything other than just like a bigger desire to sell more of my soul.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, what have you asked for?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Surely you didn't dispense with your soul without something in return.
unidentified		Oh, you know, sometimes it's a bigger thing than others.
		You know, it could be like a new car or success in school or, you know, as it so often is with a girl.
		Not that that ever works out.
		But, you know, and no matter what it is, and this is kind of just because I'm an unfortunate person in general.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I hope you went for like a nice U.S. SUV or something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You didn't do it for a small car, compact, right?
unidentified		Oh, no, no.
		I'm not really a hybrid guy.
		See, I'm actually 6'4, so I'm too tall to fit into anything but an SUV, really.
		There you go.
		See, I believe not necessarily.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Can I ask you a question?
unidentified		Do you have a SUV?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, nothing more to say.
unidentified		Okay, then I guess I won.
		Although, thank you, Art, for pointing out how I'm now going to hell.
		Although, something I really want to say is that the way that I understand Christian theology, it kind of sounds like when you go to heaven, you it kills your personality and your emotions and whatever.
		And so to me, it reminds me a lot of a quote from Paradise Lost, and this is a loose paraphrase.
		It's like, it's better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven, you know, where you can at least still feel pain instead of just being numb to everything and being kind of like a mindless slave in heaven.
		I don't know.
		That probably sounds kind of weird, and your viewers are going to.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can tell you're happy with your deal, and I'm happy for you.
		And I hope it's a nice SUV.
		You know, and I hope the passenger seat is filled up with somebody really cool.
		I guess it is.
		Hello there.
		Brenda, I believe it is.
		Somewhere in the world.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Can you hear me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I hear you.
unidentified		Okay.
		I can't.
		So, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		I'm talking from New Zealand.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		New Zealand.
		Okay.
		What you want to do is get good and close to the microphone on your computer.
unidentified		I've got the headset.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, the headset.
		All right.
		You see, I see a picture of Brenda, and I think I hear Brenda in the background, right?
unidentified		Correct.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, okay.
		Well, I'm glad to have you.
		What's up?
unidentified		This whole changing from nice to not nice, an artist called Jackie Ivanko, who's 15, released a video on YouTube yesterday.
		Yes.
		And up until this time, she's been thought of as an angel from another planet and so on because of her beautiful singing.
		She was discovered on AGT in America in the fifth season.
		So she was 10 when she was discovered and she's 15 now.
		And then her brother made the change, like Caitlin Jenna made the change.
		And the video is the song is lovely by itself, but the video conveys her story, so to speak, of the change.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're kind of advertising it now.
unidentified		No, no, no, no, no, I'm not advertising.
		What I'm trying to say is that since the video was released yesterday on YouTube, even long, long-time fans have, because of the transgendered nature of the video, not the song, but the video.
		If you understand.
		I'm with you.
		And so long-time fans have come out on YouTube and saying that she's the devil incarnate, that you're, you know, and so on and so on.
		She's a Catholic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Even Catholics can make bad deals.
unidentified		Yeah, but she's, well, it's just a beautiful video, but at the same time, all of a sudden, fans from all over the world who thought she was an angel and so on, she's now, because of this video, she's being pariah because of the content of the video.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, well, I get it.
		All right, thank you very much.
		All the way from New Zealand.
		Do you know, I think, what is it furthest away that you can really go on Earth?
		Is it New Zealand?
		It's pretty close.
		New Zealand, or perhaps someplace in South Africa from here on the West Coast.
		And really, you can't, if you go any further than roughly that, I think you begin to come back.
		So that kind of gives you an idea of the reach of the show.
		Scott, hello, Scott.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		How's it going?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's going.
unidentified		I sent you an email a moment earlier, about an hour ago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		By the way, anybody who wants to send me an email, it's artbell at artbell.com.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Easy enough.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		And I wasn't sure whether to call on the I Made a Deal line because there was a deal, but it didn't involve my soul.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		whose soul?
unidentified		Well, in 2006, I had occasion to buy a chunk of Pope Benedict XVI's soul.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How do you get that opportunity?
unidentified		Well, it was $15, and at the email I sent, you can see the numbered certificate.
unidentified		And the guy that was behind this was a Luciferian by the name of Aaron C. Donahue.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, how do you know you really had the goods to sell?
unidentified		Well, I don't know.
unidentified		But it sounded like a unique item, one of 666 certificates.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wouldn't you think?
		How many?
		666?
unidentified		Yes.
		You can see the picture.
		It's in the email.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, wouldn't you think that buying a portion or 666 of a Pope's soul would be perhaps a scam?
unidentified		Well, I guess it depends on where you're sitting.
		I mean, I have questions about the existence of, well, I know the Pope exists, former Pope, but I'm not so sure about the good guy up in the sky or the bad guy way down below.
		So it was more of a humorous thing.
		And like I said, how many chances do you get to have a certificate good for one 666?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You have to think, I mean, what if it's real?
		I mean, that's really horrible.
		Now you actually own part of it.
unidentified		I dug it up.
		I'm holding it right now in my hot little hands.
		I hope to get it framed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I bet your hands are hot.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		But I wonder if someone would give me a hassle over framing it, because it is a rather contentious chunk of memorabilia.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure what kind of frame you'd put that in.
unidentified		Something with flames, maybe, or an effect of a fire in Brimstone.
unidentified		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, even having purchased, and I presume you paid the money, right, $16?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did this come from, I don't know, like Nigeria?
unidentified		No, it was, I think it was in California somewhere.
unidentified		Well, Santa Clara.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Figures.
unidentified		And I sent a message to Aaron.
		I kind of fell out of touch with him a while back, letting him know of your new program.
		Oh.
		But I don't know if he's doing media nowadays.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I see.
		Well, thank you.
		And you know what?
		It would sure be fun if you could take a picture of that certificate and email it to me.
		Could you do that?
unidentified		Yeah, I'll scan it and I'll email it at the same address.
		Actually, I don't really have much use for it.
		I'll give it to you for fun.
		No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I just want to see a picture of it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That'll be fine.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You hold on to the certificate and lots of ruck.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		See you later.
		Part of a Pope's soul.
		Hello there.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, hello.
unidentified		Hi.
		I'm sorry.
		Let me take you off the speaker.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, thank you.
unidentified		Sorry about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
		I had a question for you.
		I haven't sold my soul to the devil.
		I was curious.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you want to make a deal?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you want to make a deal now?
unidentified		No, I have no interest in making a deal.
unidentified		I think I have had plenty of sex just being a Catholic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A Catholic entitles you to a lot of sex?
unidentified		Well, I don't know.
unidentified		That's from what I've heard of the other callers selling their souls.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Actually, there are stories about Catholic girls.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know that, of course.
unidentified		This is true.
		But the reason for my call is I wanted to know, down the street from you is the Amagosa Opera House.
		Have you spent any time there?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean isn't a lot of time?
		No, I've been there and buy it many times.
		And I know the story of, you know, it was purchased for that woman.
		It's an amazing romantic story.
unidentified		It is, but it's really haunted, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I have heard that, yes.
unidentified		Yeah, I was just curious if you had ever been there because it's right down the street.
		I stayed there a couple of times.
		And I couldn't get a good night's sleep there.
		I won't stay there anymore because all night long I had something waking me up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Like what?
unidentified		I don't know what it was.
unidentified		It was patting my bed all night, and I would try to ignore it, and then it would shake the bed harder.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was patting your bed?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, like patting it.
unidentified		Like patting it, like, yeah, like patting the bottom of my bed, like trying to wake me up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Heavens.
unidentified		And then it was kind of like gent, whatever it was, was gently pushing my face.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
		You know, I really have to ask, I mean, how does anybody sleep in a bed that something is patting and then their face is touched?
		And then you're going to try to tell me you went back to sleep?
unidentified		No, well, yeah, I tried.
		Well, I thought, you know, it was funny, I was half asleep.
		My girlfriend, a friend of mine, was in that we had two double beds, and she was in there, and she had some strange experiences that night as well.
		And I was, being half asleep, I was just thinking, well, maybe if I ignored, it'll go away.
		And it didn't.
		It was just, it bothered both of us all night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Just sounds like a place I'd like to stay.
unidentified		Yeah, well, you know, it's funny because I know it's right down the street from you, and I thought, you should go check that place out or at least investigate it a little more because there's all kinds of crazy stuff happening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, Area 51 is just down the street, too, and the consequences are probably about the same.
unidentified		No, the government won't shoot you or whatever the threats are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes, they will.
unidentified		No, not in Avogosa, I mean.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, oh, no, out there.
		But Area 51, guaranteed.
		Yes.
		All right, thank you.
		Thank you very much.
		Yes, I'm well aware of the Opera House.
		Hello there, wherever you are.
		You're on the air, I hope.
unidentified		Thank you, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're very welcome.
unidentified		A lot of people want to sell books, and I've heard several people on the air wanting to sell a book and telling people that if we have a massive blackout due to electromagnetic pulls, that it's physically impossible to pump gasoline with no electricity.
unidentified		And I've known all my life that there's such a thing as a hand pump.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There's so many pumps.
		There's not so many hand pumps left anymore.
		If we had a massive EMP go off...
unidentified		These are sold every day and used every day.
		These are hand cranks.
		There's no excuse.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, if an EMP goes off, it's the end.
unidentified		Not if people will do right.
		You need to have this.
		If you've got a gas station, you should have this hand pump.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you selling pumps?
unidentified		No, sir.
		Of course not.
		I would have too much competition because they're so huge companies like the Gempler catalog and northern two.
		I couldn't compete with them.
		Well, you could try.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You have a lot of passion going for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You could sell hand pumps.
unidentified		Anybody can Google hand pump.
		I'm going to get away with going on coast to coast and saying that to millions of people and having people swallow it whole.
		And they were on Ground Zero with the same story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And I went on there and I told them, I said, I've worked at a gas station.
		I know there's a hand pump.
		And they made that out to sound like I was talking about another electric pump for backup.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I let you say it, that's for sure.
		But you know what?
		You're very welcome.
unidentified		You'd have to be an idiot not to know how to adapt one of these for pumping gasoline from a gas station.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, ma'am.
		Thank you very much for your call and for calling Midnight in the Desert.
		Thanks.
		You're very welcome.
		Well, that was quite a night, wasn't it?
		It just astounds me.
		I mean, I sold my soul to the devil line just rang all night long.
		Just all night long.
		It just never let up.
		It's time for my weekend to begin.
		Not making any deals, but, you know, I've been here five days, so now I get the weekend.
		In all the time zones around the world, thank you all very much.
		And all of you have a good weekend.
		And I'll see you Monday.
		Night-night.
unidentified		Night-night.
		Thank you.
		Midnight in the desert, and there's wisdom in the air.
		I've been looking for the answers.
		All my life I found you there.
		As the world we live in, are we beating up the sun?
		Have we lost all intuition?
		Are we running out of time?
		Midnight in the desert.
		And we're listening.
		And we're listening.
