Hey, everybody.
Welcome to the GabCast 2.0.
Podcast about Bellgab.com.
Tonight we have Jazz Munda and Mud King has Mr. Curtis Thornton has decided to join us tonight.
Hey, what's going on?
What's up, man?
Oh, nothing much on my side, trying to stay warm.
That's what I hear.
It's kind of cold back there, isn't it?
It is.
I can't think of a time in recent history where we've had wind chills as cold as it's going to be the next couple nights.
I heard the number negative 40 thrown around, and that just doesn't happen in Indiana.
It's so funny because every time the country or that side of the country goes into the deep freeze in the winter in January or December, I'm in Phoenix and it's like 68 degrees.
I think it's going to be 70 tomorrow.
I mean, we don't have to worry about shit like that.
But you know what?
Look me up in July or August, and you can be the one bragging that it's 80 degrees there when it's, I don't know, 118 here.
Yeah, I almost moved to Scottsdale at one point, and when I went out to do the interview and I go to get into the car, the person who was meeting me at the airport, he said, no, don't touch the dashboard.
Don't touch anything.
I'm like, why?
So because it's so hot, I forgot to put the screen in the window.
I'm like, you know, I think I can deal.
I hate cold and I hate snow, but I don't want to get like second-degree burns just by getting into my car.
Yeah, that's what it's like.
I mean, your door handles, if you have black metal door handles and it's in the direct sun, you can burn the shit out of your hand.
Serious, like first-degree burns.
I'm a ginger.
I burn too easy.
I can't deal with that.
I'm getting the sunburn just thinking about it.
And your partner, Mr. Ginger MV, is on the line.
What's up, Michael?
Hey, can you hear me?
We can hear you.
Yeah, I'm all sick as shit, and I'm calling in from my cell phone.
Hi.
I hear that your hair actually hurts.
It does.
My eyeballs hurt.
My hair hurts.
My face hurts.
Fuck you.
Well, thanks for the call.
Does your vagina hurt as well?
It feels great, actually, but it is.
It's a tinge of the sandy thing, I will say.
I figured it was the constant tickling that took care of that.
Shows off to a little bit.
I didn't get that.
Sorry.
Curtis, it's been a long time since we did a spec sheet episode, and I would really love to do another one, but in my current state, it's probably not possible.
We made it through the holiday slog, which is our probably biggest excuse, I guess, for not doing any shows.
And now that's over with, and I've got the HIV, so it's really working out.
Well, I passed that to you.
I didn't know it was transmittable over the internet, but I guess I did pass that to you.
Sorry about it.
You need to fess up.
You've been doing more than talking on the phone.
You had to be swapping spit or something.
Well, let's just say I've got to pay the power bill somehow.
So I am a working man.
So no spec sheet tomorrow night.
No, but you want to do one later in the week, Curtis?
Yeah, that works.
Just get in touch with me and let's do it.
You know, you guys have about 25 listeners right now.
Really?
Yeah, that's more than Curtis and I ever get, like, just live as we're doing the show, at least the last few times I've checked.
Isn't that right, Curtis?
Yes.
Usually our live isn't nearly as good, at least the last few shows.
Our show sucks.
These guys have lightning in the bottle.
That's why I'm just latching on to them for one episode since you're not going to step up and do an episode.
Well, Michael, you voluntarily left the Gabcast.
And thank God I did.
Life improved by about 700% for me after I did that.
It's been wonderful.
That's good.
I think you guys are doing a stellar job of running this show.
Every episode is just, and I know I called in like two weeks ago and said the same thing.
So I'm beginning to sound like, oh, shit.
I'm beginning to sound like a talk show stalker caller.
But it is working out really nicely.
That's why you have 25 listeners right now.
That's awesome in the chat room.
Well, Michael, I wanted to say you're my favorite poster on Bell Gab.
Right after you've actually been posting quite a bit lately, MV.
I mean, not since you've been sick, but around the holidays, you've been getting in there where you otherwise would not be.
Well, you know what?
I think I kind of have generated sort of a fuck it attitude.
I just, I don't know, man.
The forum's in a kind of a, like psychologically not a very good place right now.
I'm sorry about that.
That's all my thoughts.
Well, I would be more inclined to accept an apology from Jasmunda than you.
He has a history there.
I think it's getting better, though, Michael.
I mean over the holiday, I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to as slowing down.
I just mean the overall tenor of things, the overall vibe I'm getting from the way people are posting and what they're saying.
And it just seems like psychologically the forum's not in a good place right now.
And this is statistically the most depressing day of the year, the first work day after the holidays.
There's that coupled with just the whole art bell slog.
And I don't know, man.
Do you guys think he's coming back or not?
Definitely not.
I think that he believes that he wants to come back, but the reality after September 2015 rolls around or maybe a couple months before that, I think the reality will set in where he's probably not going to come back.
I think that's really the only thing that's going to change things is if he comes back and delivers a consistent show that people are interested in and want to talk about.
But I mean, on the current trajectory, I don't know.
I just find it to be kind of a depressing enterprise, frankly.
And so I guess that's why I've been posting more because I just have an I don't give a shit attitude.
That's why I usually don't open my mouth because I'm afraid of what people are going to think about what I have to say on there.
But yeah, I just kind of have a piss on this attitude right now.
Maybe it's because I'm sick.
I'm dying of the HIV.
I'm using any number of assorted sponges in order to absorb the seepage on an hourly basis.
And so maybe that's why I feel the way I do.
I don't know.
Make sure to save the seepage.
You need to use that later on for facial cream.
I was thinking even though it wasn't.
I use it to supplement the glue on the back of postage stamps.
That works too.
Mbe, can I ask you what how are your do you get a lot of the people reporting posts to the moderator?
Do you get a lot of well?
Not recently as much as used to be the case.
I mean, that's really slowed down.
But the reason it's slowed down primarily is because of a corresponding slowdown in traffic.
I mean, it has really just fallen off of a cliff in some ways.
It really has.
It's hard.
It's just the way it is.
For me, it was hard to find the enthusiasm to come back after the whole Arpell letdown and then the explosion after that in the quits thread.
Beginning of December, I was kind of going, I just don't have the same enthusiasm as before.
You know, the first thing, the last thing I ever did during the day would be log on to Bell Gab and check the quits thread or check a couple other threads.
But beginning in December, it's like, man, I just don't have the enthusiasm to do it anymore.
But it's starting to come back, though.
For me, anyway.
I'd be lying if I said I don't completely understand what you're saying because I concur.
I mean, I'm glad it's coming back for you.
It's all about me.
It is.
Me, Dean.
I mean, my throat is ground beef.
I've got to go.
You guys have fun.
See ya.
Later, bud.
It would have been epic if you had just hung that up right before he said, got to go.
That would have been cool.
If I would have been quicker on the mute button, I would have.
You're on the air.
What's up, Falky?
Hey, Falky.
We're not taking phone calls at the present.
Oh, I thought you're sorry about that.
I'm out in the street, but I didn't want to miss you guys.
I'm kidding.
What's the temperature on the street?
Hold on a sec.
I can't do that.
Hold on.
Okay.
You don't have to answer for that?
You just have to estimate.
You don't need to get an official Bureau of Meteorology.
You don't have to use your iPhone text or your temperature to gauge on your iPhone.
You asked me.
Is it cold?
Kind of colder.
Man, this is the coldest ever.
On a faulty scale of one to 10, what's the temperature?
One being extremely cold, 10 being Arizona in the summer.
It's mild.
Mild internal temperature, that's all another deal entirely, but it's mild.
He's freezing his ass off in the Midwest somewhere.
Could you do a nudie run?
That's a good way toilet.
You want to tell me, Call me?
I'll let you guys go.
Have fun.
I got to get my breakfast here and go get some ice cream for my throat and go back to the house and listen to the rest of this.
Did you make it to the doctor?
I mean, this is.
No, the phone company woke me up and told me they couldn't send me my iPhone because they had to identify me.
I've never seen 18 key for 10 years.
Most ridiculous thing I ever heard of.
Who's your provider?
I'm trying to get off this crappy Verizon phone to keep dropping my calls all of them.
So I ordered a new phone.
Trust me, Verizon's caused me all kinds of trouble, too.
Verizon's caused me all kinds of trouble, too.
More in the podcast realm than anything, but I completely understand.
I would switch from them.
Well, we get calls that are dropped eight times in one call.
It's time to go.
And I have asthma aside from current problems.
I need a phone that works in case God forgets.
There's always rifle things.
I thought you were in perfect health, Falki.
Hell no.
Well, hey, is there going to be a video tonight?
When I was cloning, I'll immediately order the 20-year-old George Clooney model.
But until then, this is not the body I expect to have.
Hey, Falki.
I heard a rumor that you're actually bart L. Hell no.
If there were Bardell in front of me, I'd be with that my cane.
Are you really that angry with him, Faulky?
Yeah.
Partly on principle.
We're supposed to be a community of people with a common interest.
You don't dump on other posters.
I dump on Nori because it's fun, and I point out his foibles.
But for the most part, Norrie's a poster.
Except for Jasmunda, it's a running gag.
Yeah, that's like.
Well, Jasmunda needs that.
He's fed.
Jazz Munda knows why I'm doing it.
We've talked it in boxes.
He's a deep dark secret of all Australians, but there's that secret base inside of Ayers Rock, and I can't talk about that.
They would kill me if I revealed the secret, but we know about it.
Falky, don't you interested, though?
Sorry, I didn't mean to catch you.
No, go ahead, Curtis.
Go ahead.
Well, what I want to know, Falky, is you know the whole idea of internet trolls and all of that.
Where do the trolls go?
If they don't go to a forum like Bell Gab just to post on whatever anyone who throws their stuff out there, where do trolls come from and where should they post?
I have a period they hibernate till spring.
Yeah.
There's a bridge in Seattle.
They actually have a concrete troll under the bridge that they made artwork out of.
And this is where all trolls live.
They don't just sit there in that.
They're on the bus.
When you go on the bus somewhere, they're in stores.
They walk up to you.
And then there's no escape.
So are people proselytizers?
There's no escape from them people either.
Are people trolls all the time, or can they turn into a troll and then turn back into a person?
I think it's something deep inside their psyche, and they just can't help themselves, part of because they're, excuse me, Language, they're assholes and there's no cure for it, but and mean-spirited.
Falky, can't you see that some of the things that you're being criticized for might be correct?
I'm not saying all the things, and I'm not saying that it's not become mean-spirited.
But don't you think that some of it is probably true and that might be a good idea?
Sorry, didn't you tell you?
People are making assumptions about me without ever going to me directly and asking me what are you doing and why you're doing it.
Did you afford that same thing to George Norrie, though?
Did you afford that same courtesy to George?
I point out George's foibles because I can't believe it.
It's not if it were one night or a couple of times, but I would listen to man.
He made a big deal about this is my 11th year.
I would listen to the man, not every night, because there's some nights I listen for as little as 30 seconds.
He says something really stupid and I turn off the radio.
But listen to that for 10 years.
It's like it's like being in the Lenoir Hilton.
Why do you continue to?
10 years of being tortured.
Why do you continue to?
There's nothing else to listen to in the middle of the night either.
Faulky, Jazz has a question for you.
Go ahead, Jazz.
No, he answered the question.
I asked him why he still listens to George.
Oh.
Well, at 10 o'clock at night, first of all, I'm used to it.
I go in the kitchen.
My radio is above the shelf, the cabinet next to my coffee maker.
I usually go under it either make some meat or politicians.
I turn on the radio.
Well, let's see what George is talking about tonight.
Usually it starts out with some weather story, then a creepy kid story that goes on from there.
But I listened to see if he has any interesting guests, but he so turns the interviews into and you know the difference between George and Art is night and day, and that's why I was so shocked that Art didn't stick with it.
I mean, he could have done something and walked off in six months or a year and said, Look, either you fix this or else the next six weeks.
But I would have never got I would have never done that thing anyway.
I would have done what people suggested, start doing it in canine streaming.
Fulky, are you not having somebody put you in bondage for two years?
Fulky, are you seriously going to retain a lawyer to go after these copyright issues, or you were just kidding around, right?
Under the law, anything I post online is copyrighted already without registering it.
But to ascribe a Jew to put it out of the video, to have me look like I'm giving the Nazi salute is beyond insulting, or that I'm doing the other thing, which only mentioned you're all aware of what it is.
Those are my intellectual property.
How are you going to go after these people?
How are you going to identify who they actually are?
There's enough tech-savvy people who can find out how they're getting onto sites.
Believe me, I know enough of those people.
If Jobs were alive and I still had a car, I'd drive down to Apple.
Now, did you actually know Steve Jobs or Paul Water?
I could find some hackers to do it in 30 seconds if I had the time and took the effort and still had a damn car.
So, you know, all the internet memes that come out for famous people who have copyrights, too.
Do you think that they feel the same way that they have to go out and protect it, or is this just the spirit of the internet?
And well, I'll give you that.
One of my videos, I quoted something from an editorial by Steve Forbes.
I got flagged by YouTube, and Forbes publishes sent me an email, and I'm trying to get the rights to use what I quote unquote now because I like Forbes magazine.
No, wait a minute.
This was on YouTube.
They're protecting their rights, but that's okay.
But if I want to protect mine, I'm, I guess, looked upon as evil or money-grubbing or whatever you want to call it.
I don't think anyone thinks that.
I just want to understand where you're coming from on it to get a better grasp of.
If I'm looking foolish in my own videos, that's one thing.
But to take your time to edit something to make me look like I'm doing something that I'm not, I use hand gestures.
But do you really think that Falky?
Do you really think threatening to sue somebody is really going to help, or is that just going to generate more fodder for the haters of Falki?
There seems to be, it seems to be growing.
Well, do you expect me to sit here and just see one more one insulting post after another and just, oh, that's okay.
You can just make me look like an ass.
I think you give them a lot of ammunition by some of the things that you post, Falkie.
Yeah, I think you're feeding them.
I don't think you mean to.
With respect to the vine.
And I'm thinking of doing that again because every time I say something in defense of myself, the trolls come out like things out of Starship Troopers.
Yeah, because you're giving them more material.
Well, you tell the defenders.
Bellgab should be fun.
It shouldn't be full of trolls.
Ever since Art quit, it's like somebody opened up a trapdoor and all the demons from hell came up.
And in this case, they're internet trolls.
Do you remember what I've got?
I would find it pretty.
Say that again, Curtis.
Would say, remember, even Art Bell described Bell Gab as vaguely lovable, which implies well.
I don't consider trolls to be, they may be vague, but I certainly don't consider them to be lovable.
Well, I'm just saying, I mean, he acknowledged early on the fact that Bell Gab isn't a place to expect everybody to come together and have a Wiccan coven picnic.
It's just not going to happen.
No, I just think I look at it differently than most.
I think that when you have a common interest, which is the paranormal and Art Bell, that we're almost like a family, or at least we should be.
Yeah, but there's always assholes in the fact that I'm probably naive in that respect, but I try to treat people for the most part how I like to be treated.
Nori, notwithstanding.
And I've tried to notice I'm not doing Nori videos every five seconds either.
I just think that Faulky does not have any reason popular as anything else they do.
Yeah, go ahead.
If you're going to put yourself out there, you're going to expect this.
I mean, look what Nori has to endure from Bell Gab, either rightly or wrongly, if it's in jest, if it's mockery, or if it's satire.
He has to endure a lot, and a lot of it is really funny.
But you're putting yourself out there.
You're trying to, as you say, monetize yourself with your YouTube videos and the guy from Pittsburgh trademarking.
You're going to expect that.
That's going to happen, Faulky.
You need to get.
Hold on a second.
You need to get a little thicker skin because if this thing does take off, if this thing does take off, it's going to get even worse.
My name, my handle, my video content, and trademark it as their own.
I don't know what you think about that.
Yeah, the thing is that Bar L is an ally with little Chris.
I saw you post about Little Chris and him.
You put those two guys together, two people together.
What is it that makes Bar L and Little Chris connected?
Hold on.
You guys are talking over each other.
I know.
It was that Verizon phone.
It is.
Curtis, go ahead and ask your question again.
Okay, Falky, can you hear me?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Okay, my question is: you've brought up several times in the musing thread about Little Chris and Bar L being connected, and you've had some internal messages they've sent to you, you've posted and made available.
What is it that you think, what's their connection, and why are you so angry at Little Chris, too?
I don't know the full story.
You and Little Chris were friends at one point.
Little Chris has literally said to me that he, she, or it will trademark the name Falky, the name George Senda, and will basically rip off my content, create websites on their own, and market the content as their own.
Do you think maybe that they were just poking at you?
I mean, what value would they were just trying to get under your skin?
You let them do that.
Man, trust me, that is a threat.
And I have to protect what are my property rights.
Well, you do realize that if you really went to court, you've been posting, you can show a copyright from a certain point.
You don't have to go.
Hold on, guys.
You guys are both talking over each other again.
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, you would already have won a battle in court.
You wouldn't have to go to the extremes of being worried that you are.
I think you're stressed out about something you don't need to be.
Bar L and Little Chris, again, if they're the bad guys and all of this and they've taken it to another level of something that's just uncomfortable for everybody, then they'll show themselves for that.
And if you should just do what you do, like when I first talked to you about the general musings thread, have fun, do your thing, don't stress about the other people.
There's always going to be haters.
Sorry, go ahead.
I was trying to do, but they won't let me.
They won't let me.
The people that dope, there are a certain percentage of people.
I don't care what I could, what I would do.
I could be dancing with the stars for God's sake, Mike Kane, or talking to doing an interview with Nori or Art Bell or William Burns or Nancy Burns or someone else in the paranormal field.
I've talked to Sam Freeman over the phone.
Cost me a small fortune.
It's expensive to call Nova Scotia.
I got to bill them.
Jaw dropped.
But they're not going to like anything I do.
I don't care what it is.
That's the attitude you have to take.
Did you say you were going to be on Dancing with the Stars?
I was being facetious.
I would love to see a video of that.
Me too.
Let's free Faulky, get him on Dancing with the Stars.
That's the new campaign.
It seems to me, Faulky, you're really good.
I'd have to find my leg brace, which is somewhere in my apartment.
By the way, two days ago.
I'll get you a leg brace.
If that's what it's going to take, I will send one to you.
This is what I'm talking about.
I mean, I should clean up my about half my bedroom and then peeled over from the effort.
So I'm still not exactly up far.
I'm across from the liquor store now.
I'm going to go get some ice cream when I'm done with this phone call.
It seems like you're always cleaning.
You're always cleaning something, or you intend to clean something.
Well, part of the problem is everyone, my glasses fall off.
One clean reason why I can't clean anything.
I'll leave the match.
I will hobble over there, get my glasses on, and they'll start.
Then you'll see a big change in that apartment.
I'll be able to see what the hell I'm doing.
You know, I've walked in the walls because I can't see where I'm going right now.
Hey, Faulky.
Yeah.
Can you hear us?
Jazz was trying to talk.
Falky, you've often mentioned about your girlfriend and your girlfriend's girlfriend, who I'm assuming is just a friend.
You've often mentioned that they're going to come and clean your apartment.
What's the story with that?
I know when I lived at home, my mom always made me clean my own room.
I think Falky's sorry there.
I think Falki just got hit by a truck.
No, no, 98X just went by.
I'm sitting one of the bus routes is here.
I'm downtown.
I'm about four blocks from my house.
Did you?
Faulky, did you hear Jazz's question?
I heard part of it.
Yeah, what's the deal with the girlfriend, your girlfriend, and your girlfriend's girlfriend?
I get physically tired anymore because of my kneecap and my breathing issues.
I can't do everything I would like to do.
And after I stand too long, my knee swallows up fluid.
I can't hold any weight on.
That's why I need help.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Otherwise, I do a lot of it myself.
And I, you know, I went through a whole bookshelf the other night, moved part of it to one room, part of it to the other room to set up the bedroom for eventually posting videos from my bedroom.
And if once I get antibiotics and get over this thing, I'll knock the bedroom out in a couple of days and move the computer in the bedroom.
And then you won't see my, we won't be seeing my videos from my living room and my bed and the blankets covering the stuff in the chair because I'm too tired to put it away.
Are you going to fix the mirror image on the videos too?
That's my big one complaining.
I can't read what's behind it.
Yes.
What program do you use to do it?
Let's get technical for a moment.
This is the spectrum.
Yeah, sorry.
I got to get my rocks on here.
Falky with the reaction.
Hold on, Falkie.
Falky.
Falky, hold on.
Falky, hold on a second.
The CBs, okay?
I'll say over when I'm done.
So what program are you going to have to kick your videos over?
It's never easy.
He didn't hear you.
Yeah.
Damn it.
I almost wanted to hand the phone over to the next person besides.
Yeah.
It sounded like he just time traveled.
Yeah, I think he's in the sense from the old paper, Pete.
Don't stay in the dark alleys for us.
It may not be worth it.
Okay, so what program do you use?
For your videos.
Falky?
Is he gone?
I think he's gone.
Uh-oh, I just heard something drop.
Was that you?
Yeah, that was me.
I'm playing with my daughter's toys and it just fell over the clock.
So we're that interesting, huh, that you need to play with little Mr. Pony or whatever it is, my pink pony.
I didn't think it was that funny, but I was just thinking of him being a brony.
I got the giggles from the Falky call anyway.
I think he's gone.
Yeah, do you ever think maybe like I don't know if you guys are comic book geeks at all or superhero movies?
Hell no.
Okay, well, he seems like he would be the guy who starts off mild-mannered, but becomes the villain at the end of some classic story.
Just to be pushed over the edge.
Yeah, you know, he wanted to do right.
He kept trying, trying, but the world kept pushing him.
And he didn't become Batman.
He became the Joker.
That could happen.
I mean, he seems like he's pretty thin-skinned.
He lets these people get to him.
So, I mean, I hope he doesn't have any rifles.
I know that's a bad joke, but I mean, he can push somebody over the edge pretty easily when you're stressed as much as Falky sounds like he is.
Well, the thing is, it was mentioned in the chat room that he has a great voice.
I think the general mentioned that, and he does.
If he could get coherent in his thought process and deliver him, his voice is so much better than mine.
I wish I could communicate with that.
I don't know.
He just has a cadence, I guess, to him.
Yeah, the tone of his voice is pretty good, and he's got kind of a low grumble, which is, I mean, good for radio, but yeah, you're right.
He needs to focus a little bit more.
I think the thing that bugs me about Falky is the strange tangents that he goes on.
On the phone, I guess this is really the first time that I talked to him.
No, I guess he called in with all this too, but on the phone and on the forum.
I mean, he seems to want to share personal things about himself that I would never in a million years even think about sharing that with anybody.
I mean, with strangers, you know?
Yeah, that's the main problem.
People are taking those things and running with it and making it into a joke.
So if he didn't give everyone that ammunition and all those little personal tidbits about himself, he would find that these people aren't attacking him as a result.
Yeah, if you don't want to get attacked, give yourself a lower profile.
It's pretty simple.
The whole idea about to start that conversation off, he seemed to be so confused about what it means to have a forum like what Bellgab is.
It's designed to be a place where trolls can show up.
We're going to self-regulate and call them out for what they are.
But at the same time, anyone can say anything about anyone.
That's why you go to Bellgab.
Yeah.
And there seems to be a backlash against some of the trolls, too.
There's a few people that are standing up for Falky, which it's self-equaling itself.
It is.
That's the thing.
It's self-policing.
The nice thing about it, I thought, is he does his thing.
He creates a higher profile.
So he's going to start drawing fire from people.
And over time, the people are going to take it too far because in everything that's ever happened, it reaches that tipping point.
And then it'll sway back the other direction and Falky will win.
He just has to have a thick enough skin to get through it.
Because right now is that critical moment where before I saw him as a figure that posted everything you mentioned earlier about rambling and going off topic.
I saw him as that guy and it was frustrating because I wanted to read the Art Bell thread and I didn't want to go through all these different unrelated items.
He used to post entire full articles instead of posting links.
That's one thing that really frustrated me, especially in some of the live threads.
He'd show up and he'd start posting pages and pages of an article he thought that everybody should read.
And he got some backlash.
And that's where Bart Ell's parody of him has taken off.
And it was funny in the beginning.
Yeah, it was hilarious.
It's turned very mean-spirited now.
But the thing is, the question I think is why did it turn mean-spirited?
Did Bart L do that?
Or did they just get to the point of like, hey, I'm having some fun here, and this isn't truly, he has no idea who he or she has no idea who Falky really is.
And they just get to be the point where, you know, if you don't get this, then forget it.
I'm just, I'm going to flip the switch.
Or was that their plan all along was to progressively get worse until they get Falky to quit?
No, I think just because Falki was getting angry, he didn't just let it let it go.
He would attack.
Yeah, it's snowballed.
Yeah.
It's just so weird to me to think, like, I used to post videos on YouTube, and they were dumb videos of me.
I have all kinds of weird eating issues.
And ginger hair, too.
Well, yeah, that's something I'm still working with.
I haven't come to terms with it.
I still cry at night before I go to sleep.
But we'll get through what the doctor says.
It's a combination of pills.
I'm talking to Falki.
But I would post those videos.
And again, they were dumb.
I knew that from the beginning, but they were just fun for me.
And I would get all kinds of nasty comments.
People told me, hey, why don't you eat a bullet?
And I didn't take that personal.
I didn't go trying to, I mean, I did, but I didn't take it personal to the point of, I'm going to go seek this person out, tell them that they're messing with my brand.
You have to know what you're doing and just accept it for what it is.
If you're going to be out there, you're going to get, you're going to take fire from people.
I think Bart Ell just doesn't know when to quit.
I think he believes he's still having a lot of fun with it.
And some of the things that he does still are funny, but it's a certain point where it's just to make an analogy, it's like you hijack a short yellow bus and beat up all the retards inside.
I mean, it's just, that's probably a bad analogy, but that's what it feels like it is.
It's like this, you just beat the guy over the head, and now you're kicking him and shanking the bloody corpse on the floor.
Right.
You know?
That's a bloody corpse he's trying to fight back.
He doesn't know its name.
Which it should fall, you know, fighting.
Threatening to sue.
I'm going to sue you on the thing.
That's the problem is what he's doing isn't wrong.
It's just the way he goes about doing it is the problem.
Or I guess most of us see things that there's a way to fight back on this and see a way to win.
Or there's just start throwing punches around as you're on the ground being bludgeoned to death.
And there's really no, there's no escape plan.
The only really good way to do this is walk away or start ignoring.
If it gets to him that bad and he can't help himself but to reply and give them more ammunition, he needs to put him on ignore or completely leave Bellgab for a period of time until he can cool off and get a better perspective.
Yeah, unscreened caller in the chat room said the trolling didn't start with the thread, said someone at Bellgab Sucks made a falky thread and it was really nasty.
If that's where it started, then he should have written it off for what it was in the very beginning and not let that get to him on Belgab.
Yeah, I mean, Curtis, you started that thread, but I don't think it was in a mean-spirited way, was it?
No, it wasn't.
No, well, that's the thing, too, is that he got upset with me because I said self-promotion and it was completely in jest.
It was a friendly comment that someone could have made the same post about me, any of you guys, Michael, about being able to self-promote.
It wasn't a specific knock at Falky.
I kept trying to tell him that you want to turn this site into your blog, but you can't do that inside all these other threads.
You need to do it this way.
And I'm not telling you not to do it.
And I'm not coming in as an admin.
I don't do that.
All I do is try to keep the site running from a technical point of view.
I'm not trying to moderate him in any way.
So it was frustrating that he would take it so personal.
I think that the spirit of it was completely giving him a chance to say what he wanted to.
I hate the fact that now it's become a place for his haters to attack him, but that kind of shows the content stands on its own, I guess.
Yeah, it does.
You know, I don't mean to derail the conversation here, Jazz.
I know you have something to say, but I haven't even given out the phone numbers for the freaking show yet.
If you guys want to call into the show tonight, the number is 602-399-7131.
Again, that's 602-399-7131.
Give us a call.
Let us know what you think about this.
Go ahead, Jazz.
Yeah, I was just going to, I was actually, when I was speaking to Falky, I was going to ask him if he was angry at Curtis for starting that thread.
Yeah, no, I'm not interested too.
You know, at first I thought it was a goof, but I can understand where you're coming from.
And I also thought it was an attempt to try to maybe lure Falky into one area of Belgab, which I thought was rather brilliant.
Yeah, I mean, again, you have to have fun with it, too.
I mean, I did want to get him to understand, here's the right place to do with, do what you want to do.
I'm, as a member of the forum, trying to, you know, help you a little bit.
And at the same time, I'm going to poke fun because I would expect someone to poke fun at me, too.
Yeah.
And I forget now exactly what he had said, but something about Star Trek.
And I didn't even understand some of the references he made.
So I just kind of let it go at that point.
I figured the thread would either live or die.
And that's why I say I feel bad for him on a personal level that he's taken so much fire for it.
But again, I stand by the fact that the content is what it is.
Falky had a chance to do what he wants.
In there, he's getting a lot of attacks from people.
He doesn't like it.
Getting a lot of attention, too.
And attention.
He's getting what, if he would think about it, he's getting exactly what he wants.
That's why, Jesimund, I was glad you brought up Bardell and him being similar for a while, because it would have been a perfect play if he had become Bar El and Falky and attacked himself because it created a lot of it was one of the most interesting things happening on the site for a while.
You couldn't script it any better if that was the case.
Yeah, that would be brilliant, but I don't know if Falky could pull that off.
Yeah, well, wouldn't it be awesome, though, if he was fooling all of us?
The fact that we're talking about him still, he's already won.
Yeah, that's right.
This whole show has been about this pretty much.
Yeah.
You know, and it's really the only thread that's been very interesting, you know, that's held my attention for more than a couple days is that thread.
It's almost like a train wreck now, though.
Yeah, well, I hated, I made that thread, and then I went away for the holidays.
I didn't get to see it again for a while.
I came back expecting, like most threads that I create, that they would be, you know, it died a quick death.
And then I saw that multiple pages like, oh, what's this mean?
It has a life of its own now.
Yeah.
Is that the first thread that you've created that's been that popular?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
This is the most popular for me.
Usually I just come in, like.
I post a lot more now than I used to, but I was always a longtime lurker.
I would make one comment to other people's threads or comments, but that was the first that has become this successful.
So see, anybody can do it.
I was looking up behavioral research studies on the internet about member interactions in forums such as ours, and I found some interesting data.
I couldn't understand all of it because it was all way over my pay grade.
But 90% in a forum such as ours where there's participation, 90% of the people are lurkers and they never post.
So there's 90% of people on Bellgab never post.
Yeah, 9%.
Isn't it amazing?
I know.
9% post occasionally and only 1% are very active posters.
And of those, they're the most opinionated.
Of course, you know, if you have an opinion, you're going to jump on and start posting.
Right.
But we don't know what 90% of the people think that read the forum, that read bellgab.com on a regular basis.
Oh, yeah.
That just fucking blew my mind for some reason.
I don't know why.
I don't know if I'm just being obtuse and dense, but that was kind of weird.
Go ahead.
Where did that research come from?
I don't know.
I didn't quote the plays that it came from.
I think it was some university.
It was a university study, and it had all the data.
And the researchers took six months and they looked at one site.
I don't know what that site was.
And they posted all the research and they talked to some of the people and they made observations and all that stuff.
Is Falki a graduate of this university?
I'm pretty sure he's.
Is that University of Phoenix?
No, it was not University of Phoenix.
It was some university in the East, I think.
I don't know.
Yeah.
But I mean, I play Harvard.
For some reason, this thing is really interesting to me.
I'd like to find maybe a behavioral research psychologist or something, because I guess this is, from what I read, this is a pretty hot topic for people because they have all the data right there in front of them.
All they have to do is look at it and read it.
I mean, the public forums, they can figure out or they can study different behaviors and how people react to anger and trolling and flaming and all that stuff.
I'd like to have somebody on that knows what they're talking about so we could ask them a couple questions.
Well, I think it would be funny too is to grab, especially the hosts of Gabcast 2.0, take your posting behaviors, because I always think it's interesting to look at myself and see the hours that I post most often and what threads and see, kind of create some kind of scale that talks about what you do on Bellgab.
Just as far as a time and a time reference?
Well, time and topic.
Oh, topical, okay.
Yeah, I don't think you have to get into the specifics of each post, but I would love to see, compare different, especially for you guys on the podcast, to see who posts on the politics thread and what time of day do you post in it.
Not at all what you're actually posting.
Yeah.
But it'd be kind of funny to see because there's the paranormal side of Bell Gab, because that site can be whatever you want it to be.
There's the just have an argument for argument's sake.
Politics.
There's politics.
Yeah, all of that.
I mean, you can go there and have several different experiences.
I always think it's funny when people from the politics threads happen to post in the paranormal or podcasting threads.
They're like, you know, I normally don't go over here, but I saw this and couldn't help but say something.
If you've got that insider active users, what about that other 90%?
Where do they spend their time?
I'm always looking for the porn thread, but I can never seem to find it.
That's a secret thread.
Oh, that's a secret thread?
I don't have to get into that yet.
You have to get invited.
Yeah, there's a password for it.
I haven't got it yet, but I hope to someday.
Well, who has that password then?
Is it just Jasmunda?
You have to supply a cockpeak because that's the only caveat.
I've submitted five already.
Yeah, and they were all different people.
They weren't mine.
I took them.
I was there.
We're not accepting Ginger cockpeaks at the moment.
Yeah, that's just weird.
Well, you know, actually, have you seen the movie Dogma?
Oh, yeah.
That's one of my favorite movies.
Alan Rickman playing an angel in it and having no parts down below.
That's what gingers are too.
So I actually have to pay people $25 to take a pic of them to send to you.
Like a Kendall down there, huh?
Exactly.
I have two kids, but I don't know how that happened.
Immaculate Conception.
Wow.
I keep asking my wife.
Does your wife have red hair as well?
No, she doesn't.
Oh, no, we don't let two.
Gingers pair up.
Well, this is crazy because I have an older sister who has red hair.
Excuse me.
And she's married to a redhead.
And when I was younger, she's eight years older than me.
And when she got married, I'd go travel around with them.
And people would think she's my mom and I'm their son.
I'm like, there's absolutely no way I'm marrying a redhead.
Too much of that weird experience.
It's doomed me somehow.
I've heard a redheaded son.
If you guys want to call into the show tonight, the number is 602-399-7131.
Again, that's 602-399-7131.
Anybody in the chat room want to call in and say, hey, give us a call before we shut her down tonight.
We're going to shut her down.
Shut her down.
So, Curtis, you being a moderator or administrator of the site, have you ever had to delete posts?
I've never deleted a post, but I have asked people not to continue using multiple users posting.
You're kind of doing the back and forth themselves.
Does that happen a lot?
People extremely regular occurrence, but and the only time I've ever done that type of moderation on the site is if Michael's away, like when he was in Morocco.
For the most part, all I do is try to stick to the technical stuff.
I like the kind of Wild West approach that he takes to it.
So I always try to be when I get the reported posts or anything like that that looks like it should be deleted.
I wait to see if the person's going to figure this out on their own because I think if you post something that's just completely against common logic, you're going to figure that out pretty quickly by the other people posting on the forum.
So I don't do that.
Against common logic, there's a lot of falky posts like that.
That's the wrong word to use.
Because really, I don't believe in set.
Curtis, you're cutting out there, buddy.
Oh, am I?
Any better?
No, it's actually getting worse.
Hold on.
Oh, tell me about that.
You're on the air.
The cold is finally getting to you, Curtis.
Hello, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi.
This is West of the Rockies giving it a call again.
What's up?
Listening to the show and enjoying it as always.
And I guess I'm one of those people who doesn't quite get the whole falky general musings thread.
I can see it started out as funny, and now I agree with you guys.
It just seems like a mean-spirited mess.
Seems like you came in kind of late with that, Wes, because I didn't see you post until just, I think, today or yesterday.
I think I posted it back.
I'm like about what, page 15?
What's it up to now?
About 23 or so?
Yeah, something like that.
But yeah, I guess I just kind of missed the whole point of the thread, really.
I don't know.
Sometimes I feel like I'm sort of playing, you know, Uncle Joe and trying to urge everybody to be a little more congenial with each other, a little more tolerant.
A little more civil.
I don't know.
Maybe that gets to be a pain in the ass.
What's your opinion of the creation of it?
And do you think that creating that thread in itself was the beginning of the contributing factor to him being piled on?
Was it unfair to create it, I guess, would be a simpler question to ask?
No, I don't think I would say that.
You know, I don't think it was mean-spirited to begin with.
And you never know.
I mean, I've started threads, and sometimes they go for less than a page.
Sometimes they go on for eight or ten pages.
I just think it took on a life of its own.
And I'm kind of for a little while, I was one of those who was just kind of watching the train wreck and couldn't step away.
And now I just, what I need to do is police myself and just stop logging into that particular thread because it just kind of annoys me at this point.
Yeah.
Well, I think that's, to me, that's where that thread was going to be helpful because I hated spread across multiple threads.
Consolidating it to one location ultimately ends up creating a magnifying glass for it for certain people.
But at the same time, the rest of users don't have to go there, like you just said.
You can skip that thread.
That's sort of like the politics thread.
It's a bare knuckles thread, and you can get beat up and you can get offended by each other.
But I keep wandering back.
Can't say no to it.
Yeah, I see you in the politics thread quite a little bit there, West of the Rockies.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know how you can handle it.
I mean, I would not be able to handle some of the insults, especially the quick Carl guy.
He seems to be there all the time.
He seems to be a pretty nasty fellow.
You know, when he first joined up, I sent a general public message saying, hey, welcome aboard.
You have an interesting new perspective here.
But I think he just isn't really able to see far beyond his own perspective.
He'll say from time to time that, you know, in politics, it goes both ways and both sides do it.
But he seems to only recognize, you know, the evil, horrible Obama socialist, liberal Marxist side of things, as he would call it.
Yeah, I guess it's not fair for me to say that he is a nasty person because I don't really know him.
Some of the replies that I've seen against him or some of the replies to what he says have been pretty nasty.
And well, I think they're calling him all sorts of names.
But yeah, it just one of the posters that stood out as always being in the political threads and having an opposing opinion or an opinion from the far right or Tea Party.
I'm not sure exactly what affiliation he's with.
Yeah, you know, I don't know how he would self-identify, and you're absolutely right.
I mean, he gets hit pretty brutally.
I mean, people, some of the insults get pretty juvenile and just way too personal, I think.
You know, I don't always agree with Paperboy, but I think the guy does really well in trying to, oh, for the most part, you know, keep a congenial voice, you know, be kind of polite to each other, you know, respect other points of view.
And obviously he doesn't agree with him, and I don't agree with most of his views, but somehow we're able to stay polite to each other.
I wish I could see a little more of that, but I guess I'm being, what do they call it, a concern troll when I'm worried about everyone else getting along.
Well, I think it takes a whole other level you have to get to before troll gets attached to you.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, you're good.
Thanks, man.
You are on the air.
This is Bardell, right?
From the chat room calling in?
No, it's not.
That would be cool, though.
I'd like to talk to that guy just to hear his voice and see.
You know, I don't know.
I admit this, but when he first started doing his parodies very early on, like in the first or second page, or maybe it was third or fourth page, I don't care.
Or I don't know.
I sent him a PM saying, hey, what you're doing is funny because I was laughing my ass off at these parodies.
They were spot on to Falki.
I mean, if you were to compare Falky's writing to his, they were undistinguishable or indistinguishable.
I agree.
Yeah, that's the thing I thought was funny because, again, I saw all of that well after the fact.
And so I just tried to catch up with it.
And I start reading.
I'm like, this is pretty wild that he has these two accounts he's using.
It took me multiple pages before I realized this is actually making fun of him.
And then I was like, that's even better.
I love it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's one of those things where maybe he got drunk on his own positive feedback.
He's the anti-falky in every way.
He is.
Aldous Burbank has tried to call in, but the connection is not there.
So I think he's stuck in an airport somewhere in Phoenix.
That's a story in itself.
Aldous, if you can hear us, call back in the number 602.
Well, he knows the number.
Anybody else want to call in?
The number is 602-399-7131.
We might go for another five or ten minutes or so.
So if you want to say anything, you want to call us, talk to us, let us know how you feel about the forum, bellgab.com.
Yeah, so Curtis, I asked you before about being an admin.
And the reason I asked that is just because I can't stand spelling mistakes.
I've always wanted to be able to change, to fix someone's error because I know myself, it's so easy.
You can write on your phone.
It's very easy to make a spelling mistake.
And after that hour grace period has passed, you're forever left with incorrect spelling.
And it just kills me to see.
And I just want to be a moderator sometimes just to fix poor people's mistakes.
It would say the things you have to do to become a moderator, I still am not comfortable talking about it.
I know there's a special place in hell for me, but man.
I won't abuse my power.
I won't ban anyone.
I just want to fix spelling.
Just give me that access to fix someone's spelling.
You want to fix other people's spellings or fix your spellings?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Just other people.
Isn't that that time period, though, that you can edit?
Isn't that really fun?
I mean, when you think about it, yeah, people complain saying they want to that extended out or indefinite, all those different things.
I think it's awesome that longer than other forums.
Jazz, you're cutting.
Your volume is really low, Jazz.
Are you up on that mic?
I am now.
There you go.
He's drifting towards the pool.
He's ready to.
Yeah, he's ready to go.
I'm looking at outside the balcony now.
It's very you're on the air.
What's up, guys?
Brock, it's beat up.
What happened, man?
You're supposed to join us tonight.
Yeah, well, we don't have any internet here in Ohio.
You are in the middle of the deep freeze, right?
Yeah, it's like 40 blocks right now.
Damn.
Isn't that crazy?
That shouldn't be happening in the Midwest, or at least this area of the world.
Don't go outside.
You might die.
Seriously.
That's what they're telling people.
Wow.
Yeah, they said within minutes exposed skin, you could have frostbite not even realizing.
Is 40 below?
Is that the wind chill?
Is that the windshield be dubbed?
40 below?
Yeah, that's like with the windshield.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's like negative five or something without.
Oh, only negative five?
Come on.
You pussy?
I think the high today was two.
God.
Fucking crazy.
I can't stand it.
I got to go back to the south.
How long is that storm supposed to be?
Probably till Thursday, maybe.
Then it's going to warm up.
Really?
The crazy thing is it was like 40 degrees in raining yesterday.
Which is normal, right?
Well, no, that was a little warm.
Oh, that's a little warm.
Okay.
That was warm.
And so, like, in the span of 12 hours, it dropped like 80 degrees.
Wow.
Seemingly.
It's crazy.
It makes me wonder.
Think about Art's book, Coming Global from Superstar.
That's a great book.
Oh, The Flash Freezing and all that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's the only movie I'll ever see people actually being chased by ice.
Yeah.
So I don't know what you guys want to talk about.
Hey, let's talk.
Jazz, you said you, oh, we already did that, didn't we?
Yeah.
Never mind.
I think I can edit that part out of the podcast.
Nope, there's an hour limit to it after that.
You can't edit anything.
It's still within the hour, though.
I think it'll be okay.
T-Door, it's back in time.
Do you think tonight's conversation has left Falke in a better or worse position than he was prior to tonight's podcast?
It's so hard to tell, really.
I think if he was standing in front of a bus stop before the conversation, I think he's standing in front of a bus stop after it, too.
I don't think anything changed in his world.
He's had so many different opportunities.
People have had given him constructive criticism that have not been mean-spirited in the least, trying to help the guy, and he hasn't taken the advice for some reason.
I don't know.
I don't understand that mindset.
It's his brand.
Well, but not just the brand, but as a person, you know, I just he's he's getting advice on how to better himself.
I mean, I don't know if it's he doesn't understand like social cues or personal relationship.
I don't know what the right word is, but it just it's baffling.
Yeah, he blocked me on the board, on the forum.
I love seeing your post too, knowing that that's happened.
I don't even remember being that vicious to him.
I just, I think I made like one or two smart ass remarks, and then it was like, oh, you're banned.
Beat up's an asshole.
Yeah.
Whatever.
It happens pretty quick.
The funny thing is, I haven't actually ever watched any of his videos because I just frankly don't care.
I'm not interested in listening to that.
I've got a lot of things going on right now.
It would be to sit there and watch someone in their apartment rant about anything.
Wouldn't it be fun if it was actually Cassie when this is all that he's he's hacked into somebody's camera that's doing Skype conversations and dubbed over his own voice?
Well, that would be clever, but I don't know if that's a good idea.
You're giving way too much credit.
But I think you're right.
I think that what started as like kind of a joke is spiraled out of control.
Now that musings, general musings thread has just gone insane.
It's full-on apoplectic.
It's almost getting to the point of the quits thread in its heyday.
Well, maybe not that fucking crazy, but it's far worse.
It's far worse.
Yes, that's right.
Well, because there's no point.
Everyone has come together for something that we don't really understand what the end goal is.
It's not like we want to hear art come back to a coast to coast or something.
That's a really good point.
What the fuck is the end game?
Is the end game just to humiliate Falky?
Is that what it is?
Or is it to make, what is it, Bart L to make him feel better about himself?
I don't understand.
Well, the only person who can answer that question is Falky.
What's his end game?
Why on the forum?
Because with any of our end games, it's to have a conversation.
If you're not willing to have a conversation that includes criticism, then what is your end game?
That's very true.
You're on the air.
Hey, guys.
How's it going?
Keep talking.
Aldous.
I think the pilot was about to tell me to shut off my phone, guys.
Aldous, can you hear us?
Please turn your radio down.
Yeah, please turn down the airport loudspeaker.
Yeah.
Is that a TSA check they're doing on you?
I made it through, guys.
Don't worry.
Good.
Ask for them to do it without the glove.
It's a way better.
Oh, yeah.
Are you doing a full cavity search while you're going through?
That'll be later tonight.
Oh, that's later on for fun.
Exactly.
I don't know what it is about B-dub and Aldous, but they always seem to end up together in the same conversation on my Skype screen.
Oh, isn't that cute?
We're brothers, man.
Brothers in weed.
Caller, turn your internet off.
Hey, goes.
I really got to check it out tonight.
We're about to take off, but it was nice talking to me a little quick.
Maybe next week we'll chat, all right?
All right, man.
Thanks, Aldis.
Later, bud.
Now, when he says take off, does he actually mean literally on the plane?
No, he's just going to get high.
Okay, I just wanted to make sure I understood.
He's just going to go get high.
That's all.
I wonder what he does.
I mean, he's pretty open about smoking weed a lot.
Wonder what he does when he gets on an airplane.
Maybe that's why he only or he hesitates to travel on airplanes and he prefers to go on trains.
That's a good question.
I guess that's a good question for him next time.
Yeah.
On the next Gabcast 2.0.
You guys got anything else?
I had B-dub's channel muted.
B-Dub, are you there?
I'm still here, man.
Do you have anything else?
I was about to end the show, but we can keep going for a couple minutes if you want.
Well, I was going to say about Falki is the thing that annoyed me about Falki was that he would come into a thread and post a bunch of crap that was totally irrelevant.
And he'd post a lot of it.
Yeah, continuously.
And seemingly, it was like he was trying to turn the forum into his own blog.
His own thing.
Called Tumblr.
Yeah.
That was pretty irritating.
And now it's like here we are on the Gabcast talking about him.
Yeah, we pretty much talked about him the entire show, didn't we?
Yeah.
He's pretty much wildly successful in terms of like making everything about him.
Yeah.
That's the genius in all of it.
I was really trying to hesitate to talk the whole show about this.
Go ahead.
I think we needed to get it out of the way.
It's out there.
It's there.
So it needed to be discussed, and we probably won't discuss it anymore.
But we definitely have a photo for the podcast.
I know what I'm going to submit to you, Eddie.
It's definitely going to be awesome.
You know how we always are scouring the internet for the perfect photo to accompany the podcast downcast.
I've got one.
Jazz, I hear that the spec sheet is not on tomorrow night.
Maybe we can do a show tomorrow night and talk exclusively about Falky again.
Can I join you on that?
Yeah, you can.
That would be awesome.
I'm so excited.
Michael was posting that we had over 40 listeners at one stage.
So Falky equals ratings.
I haven't looked at the chat room at all, and I was trying to do my best to do the radio show and incorporate what people are saying in the chat room into the radio show.
And it's almost impossible because I am not a multitasker by any means.
I've been doing my best for you to incorporate it.
Yeah.
Hopefully I. You have been.
That's my one purpose in life is to be the conduit for the chat room.
I'm no longer a sidekick.
I'm a chat room.
You're a chat room monitor.
Yeah.
You get to wear like an armband and a little plastic, what is it called?
Right, yeah.
A little plastic badge.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Finally, I've stepped up.
You've made the big time.
You can monetize yourself now, finally.
Realize there's no going up from this point.
It's only down.
That's how I became a moderator.
Anything else, you guys?
The only thing I was going to ask is, and maybe this is taking it way off topic for the end, but Dark Matter Radio Network.
Have you guys been listening to it the last few weeks?
Not one bit.
Not one bit.
I haven't been listening at all.
If it's not art, it's not art.
That's what I wonder.
I've been going over to the thread to see if it kept, because I want to see that succeed, if it's going to succeed.
I was interested in what the general thought is.
I do listen to some shows that are on Dark Matter Radio Network, but I don't present through.
DMRN.
Okay.
I go directly to The Unexplained with Howard Hughes to listen to that show.
I don't go to Dark Matter.
And I sort of feel bad a bit because I know that if that's not a success, which I don't think it will be anyway, then he's never going to come back.
Yeah.
I feel bad that I'm contributing to him not coming back.
I think you're actually contributing to him getting what he wanted, which was to say, well, you know, that didn't succeed.
So let's go ahead and close the book on this.
So you're helping him out.
You're still on the.
I know.
The destroyer.
When are you going to guess for the 20th floor balcony?
Record it for Falky, though, because he wants to put it on his YouTube channel.
There you go.
When are you going to guess be on one of his videos?
I can see a split screen, you and him talking.
As long as I'm a mirror image, then that's the only way I'll go on there.
So wouldn't you be upside down?
Not like inverted, but you'd be upside down since you're in Australia.
I want to be upside down and inverted at the same time.
Wow.
I think he can make that happen.
Falky is a dream maker.
And I also want to be, what's that filter they put on the black and white?
No, not black or the negative filter.
No, not CPI, negative, you know where it's like.
Positive filter, man.
Be positive.
Don't be so pessimistic, man.
Do we have any more tips for Falky for how we can improve the videos?
The part of me that wants to be a good person wants to say, Falky, call into the next spec sheet so we can help you.
The part of me that's a realistic human says the spec sheet no longer exists, so don't even worry about it.
Surely you could type into Google fix mirror image.
And somebody did.
And it's on the Falky thread.
I think he's a Mac user.
I mean, you can't get much easier than making a video on a Mac.
It actually takes care of.
People can go in and make photo books that you click a button and give them your credit card and they ship it to you.
Yeah.
You can do anything.
I've done it.
I mean, it's so easy.
It's all you got to do is go in the settings, the video settings, in whatever video programmer you're using, Falky, and unclick the mirror.
Yeah, it's your checkbox.
Easy.
Checkbox.
That's it.
Yeah, it's cool.
But now what Falky is doing, he's removing all the things in the backdrop with text on it so you can't tell that it's mirrored.
Right.
No, I've got a tip for him.
Maybe he should print those out backwards.
No, you could turn them backwards and then backlight them with a really strong backlight and then you can see the words backwards, but it will be reversed like a mirror image and everything will be perfect.
Couldn't he just put a mirror on the other like in front of the camera and then record himself through the mirror?
That's a good idea.
A selfie.
A selfie, yes.
Yes.
A mirror selfies.
Falky selfies, yeah.
Very, very creative.
Are you a producer?
You must be.
I think we're onto something.
Well, I didn't want to talk about it because of the non-compete I signed with Vandeva Enterprises, but I really do think that Falky Enterprises is going somewhere.
Again, Falky is a dream maker.
That's right.
And Curtis, I'll have your check ready, cut for you by the end of the show, which is...
I have another tip for him.
He should possibly tie his hands behind his back, and therefore no one can take animated GIFs of him.
Masturbating.
That's a good idea.
Or anything else, but you could still do the tinfoil hat thing.
He should sell those.
I'd buy one.
I'd buy a tinfoil hat made by Falky.
He could trademark it.
The guy from Pittsburgh tinfoil hat.
Yeah, it'd be great.
He could probably get Art to even wear one.
What do you think Art thinks of that guy?
He's probably seen something related to him.
Oh, he would have gotten many emails from Falki, I'm sure.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure he's one of thousands of.
If there's 90% of people not posting on headcast, it's 99.
This has been...
Are you guys done?
I'm about done.
Yep.
Yeah.
I'm done.
Do we have a choice?
Yeah, no, because I started the music.
I started the music like 20 minutes ago.
You guys don't even hear it.
You can't dig a clue?
No, I'm kidding.
Can you guys hear the music?
What music?
Okay.
But music, yeah.
You guys are fucking with me again.
I like to say yes to questions without knowing what you're really asking.
I usually say no because I get in a lot less trouble.
Yes.
Yes.
This has been the Gabcast 2.0.

That's cool.
All right, guys.
We will see you next time.
Oh, and the music just ended.
Damn it.
This is such a professional show.
I'm trying to fucking end it and I can't.
The music ends.
Okay, let me start all over again.
This has been the gad cast.
No, that's it.
We're done.
