| This is the Gabcast, a podcast about BellGab.com. | |
| Call the show now at 623-242-CAST. | |
| That's 623-242-2278. | |
| Now, shut up, sit down, and listen to the damn show. | |
| Hey, everybody. | |
| This is the Gabcast. | |
| Welcome to the show. | |
| I'm Eddie Dean. | |
| We've got Onin B Dub with us tonight. | |
| What's going on, guys? | |
| Not much, man. | |
| Just a slow night in Podcast Land. | |
| Yep. | |
| It is. | |
| I'm trying to figure out why I can't hear this music anymore. | |
| Turn your ears on. | |
| There we go. | |
| There we go. | |
| Okay. | |
| I pushed the right buttons. | |
| I couldn't tell it because it sounded like the music just completely cut out and the feeder was still up. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Oh, boy. | |
| It's starting off great tonight. | |
| Welcome to the Gabcast, everybody, a podcast about the universe at bellgab.com. | |
| If you guys would like to participate and call a show tonight, the number is 623-242-2278. | |
| Again, that's 623-242-CAST. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| I played the Bowie song Changes in the intro because I think that is applicable in the Bellgab world and the Gabcast world because we are going through changes here. | |
| And it just feels kind of strange. | |
| It feels weird. | |
| Things are kind of in flux at Bellgab as far as I can see, or from my perspective anyway. | |
| Are you guys noticing that too, B-Dub or Onin? | |
| This is a phenomenon that has been with us since the dawn of the internet. | |
| This is website puberty. | |
| It's nothing to be alarmed about. | |
| You're just going to notice that the tone is going to deepen. | |
| It's going to get a little bit more huskier. | |
| Also, the website is going to start to grow hair everywhere. | |
| Ooh. | |
| Will the voice change too? | |
| Yes. | |
| Like Bobby Brady and when his voice changed. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So are we going to write a song about that too? | |
| About growing up on Bellgab? | |
| God. | |
| I only hope we can do that. | |
| It would be a perfect world. | |
| No, we do need callers tonight, though, to explain a couple of things that are going on. | |
| Because I think at least the three of us are clueless as to some of the changes that happened with, well, okay, we're clueless in a lot of areas. | |
| But. | |
| In particular, I'd like to know a little bit more about what's going on with Bella Haven and some other juicy tidbits we'll get to in a little while. | |
| Well, what I understand is Bella Haven is no more, I believe. | |
| And people can call in and correct me about that. | |
| But I thought that it's just, it's done. | |
| And I've got to say, doing a show five nights a week at midnight for two hours, that's got to be taxing. | |
| I couldn't do that. | |
| There's no way. | |
| There's absolutely no way that I'd be able to do that. | |
| I can't answer it because, well, I couldn't either. | |
| Unless you wanted to hear snoring. | |
| Right. | |
| And sometimes even Onin falls asleep on the Gabcast, and we start fairly early in Pacific. | |
| That's on a good night. | |
| Yeah. | |
| With any luck at all, I fall asleep. | |
| Yeah, that's true. | |
| That's when you're the most entertaining, Onin. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, fine. | |
| I like you guys too. | |
| The only problem with that scenario is that What we really want to be able to do is when you fall asleep, come over to your house and like put your hand in a bowl of warm water. | |
| That's how I go to sleep, my friend. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Does that even work? | |
| I don't know, but I want to find out and I want to own into being my guinea pig. | |
| Well, let me put it to you this way: I have no clue, but when I've been partying with people and somebody's passed out on the couch, my thought has not been, hey, I need a bowl of warm water. | |
| Because they probably pissed themselves anyway from just drinking all night and passing out on the couch. | |
| I can't speak to that. | |
| I have thrown up while I've been sleeping, but never peed. | |
| Actually, I wasn't asleep. | |
| I woke up long enough to throw up, then went back to being passed out. | |
| That is the worst, man. | |
| That was being passed out drunk and then blowing chunks, and you just don't, you're so drunk, you don't even really care. | |
| And you just lay it. | |
| You just lay in it. | |
| Wow. | |
| You guys. | |
| That's bad. | |
| I've never been that drunk. | |
| Holy shit. | |
| Come on, B. Dub. | |
| You know what I'm saying? | |
| John Bonham. | |
| That's John Bonham charlie. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| You're still an amateur. | |
| What can I tell you? | |
| I guess. | |
| Good lord. | |
| You know, I can't even drink red wine anymore because when I was a teenager, a buddy of mine worked at Denny's. | |
| He was a cook at Denny's, and he snuck out this big gallon jug of, I don't know what kind of wine it was, but it was red wine from Denny's. | |
| Yeah, I think that's where he got it. | |
| And he brought it over to my house and we tried to polish off the whole thing. | |
| I don't think we did, but we put a big dent in that thing. | |
| And maybe about three hours later, I'm asleep and I just started blowing chunks. | |
| And that's the worst kind, too, because it's just red, and you don't know if you're bleeding internally because it's just red. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Welcome to the Cabcast, everybody. | |
| I hope you finished dinner. | |
| Or maybe if you haven't started dinner yet, then maybe you can have a nice glass of red wine with it. | |
| We're going to be talking more about puking in a little while, but first, anybody have any diarrhea? | |
| We're back to our roots. | |
| We have to wait for Jazz Moon to come back from his holiday to tell us about his poop stories. | |
| If he has any boop stories or ass fountain stories from over there, he has been gone. | |
| I mean, every once in a while there's a pop-up, but not for days. | |
| I haven't seen him posting ever. | |
| Go ahead, B-W. | |
| So, what's his deal? | |
| Is he on vacation or something? | |
| Yeah, he's on vacation. | |
| He went to France. | |
| Yeah, he went to France for the entire month, I believe, of August. | |
| Or my friend the millionaire. | |
| Yeah, who gets to do that in America? | |
| No one. | |
| George Bush. | |
| Actually, he can't leave the country because they'd throw his ass in jail. | |
| They'd arrest him in Germany. | |
| Yeah. | |
| My wife and I were talking about going to France, and then we looked at our bank account and said, probably not this year. | |
| You know, eating snails in a nice little cafe in a street in France, there has to be some digestive issues to come about from that. | |
| There has to be. | |
| I've only had, I had S-Car go once. | |
| And Eddie, you probably know about it. | |
| Maybe I've even told you this story. | |
| It was at the Compass Room. | |
| Oh, yeah, here in Phoenix. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And so I went there and it was on the menu. | |
| I said, I'll try it. | |
| So it came out and it's just a plate of grayish-brown little pieces of, I guess, that are snails. | |
| So I put my fork in one to pick it up. | |
| And I kid you not, there's a hair attached. | |
| And they all come up. | |
| Like, you know how you used to string popcorn? | |
| Well, maybe you didn't. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But that's how they came up. | |
| And I was like, I don't think so. | |
| They were all attached by a long string. | |
| By a long piece of hair. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So I complained to the waitress, and the way she made it up to me was she gave me a bottle of beer. | |
| Like, it's not quite enough. | |
| So that's not the way they're supposed to come out on your plate. | |
| I don't believe so, no. | |
| I mean, still alive. | |
| Chefist is in the audience. | |
| Maybe he can tell us. | |
| What's the proper way to cook snails, Cheffist? | |
| 623-242-2278. | |
| I'm happy to say I've never eaten one snail cooked or raw. | |
| I guess you don't eat raw snails, do you? | |
| I think the right way to eat a snail is to throw it in the trash and then go order a pizza. | |
| I like how you think. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, we used to dump salt on slugs out on the driveway and just watch them thrill up. | |
| But you didn't eat them. | |
| No, no. | |
| But we salted them, you know, so if we did want to eat them, they were, you know, properly seasoned, I suppose. | |
| Ah. | |
| Well, there's that. | |
| So what other changes? | |
| I mean, of course, if you guys have noticed, Redacted is not here tonight, and it is unknown if she will come back to the Gabcast or if I suspect that her new job with art is hella busy, probably seven days a week. | |
| Well, she probably has a non-compete clause. | |
| I don't think that they would make her Santa Claus. | |
| That's my joke. | |
| It's a joke. | |
| It's just a good one. | |
| If she were here, we'd ask her questions about the show, and her response would be, I can't comment on that. | |
| And that would just go on for an hour and a half. | |
| And eventually she'd be like, well, I have to go. | |
| I have a job. | |
| Bye. | |
| And that would be the entire gabcast. | |
| Well, we don't always have to talk about our bell stuff, though, do we? | |
| I mean, there's a lot of times that we don't even talk about it. | |
| Although we have, you know, a lot since the 20th of last month. | |
| But we have a caller here. | |
| Let's get back to this. | |
| Hello, you're on the air. | |
| What's your name? | |
| It's Cheffist. | |
| What's up, guys? | |
| What's up, man? | |
| Hey, man. | |
| Hey, question about S. Cargo and snails. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So snails are a land mollusk. | |
| So just like a clam or an oyster or a mussel, you would prepare them much in the same way. | |
| And they have a very similar texture and taste. | |
| So generally, they're chopped up, sauteed with garlic and herbs and butter and some breadcrumbs. | |
| And then you toast it under a salamander, and then you eat it like that. | |
| And if I was to put one next, let's just say I made what I would call, let's say, an oyster's Rockefeller, and I made an oyster Rockefeller with a land snail. | |
| You would not know the difference. | |
| See, I'm not a huge oyster person, so. | |
| Yeah, then you probably wouldn't like it. | |
| But, you know, snails can also be prepared just like fried oysters. | |
| So you can bread them and fry them. | |
| Well, if we've learned anything from the state ferrets, you can pretty much bread and fry anything. | |
| That's true. | |
| I only eat oysters raw. | |
| Yeah, me too. | |
| Yeah, my oysters raw are with lime juice and a dash of Tabasco. | |
| Yep, that's it. | |
| You got it. | |
| You guys are crazy, man. | |
| I don't know how you can eat something the consistency of snot. | |
| There's a theory out there among scientists that it was actually mollusks that helped us expand the size of our brain because they were very easy protein to catch and eat. | |
| So, unlike wild animals, that was very, you know, in terms of risk management, you didn't want to have to go out and hunt these large animals that could kill you. | |
| So, humans started eating all these mollusks. | |
| They can just go out on the beach there and tidal pools and be able to catch them and simply eat them. | |
| Just collect them. | |
| Yeah, that's it. | |
| So, there are some that are scientists theorizing that that's really what helped us evolve. | |
| You know, once I went to this nightclub, I'm still not eating the damn thing. | |
| Easy food. | |
| What was that, B-W? | |
| Uh, once I went to this nightclub and this person came up to me and they said, Do you want some mollusk? | |
| Except they weren't saying mollusk, they were saying molly. | |
| I don't remember what happened after that. | |
| They found you were bad. | |
| Is Molly slimy? | |
| No, no, is Molly is a pill, or is it like blotter, or how does how is that served, Mr. B? | |
| I believe it's a pill. | |
| I've never actually done Molly. | |
| Um, yeah, I haven't trust something that someone cooked up in their bathtub. | |
| Hey, man, you want to try some molly? | |
| I scraped it off my tub, man. | |
| I cooked it in my carpet. | |
| Yeah, I don't know how to do Molly. | |
| Sounds like a fun time. | |
| So, um, speaking of molly, did Jackstar get banned? | |
| Yeah, yeah, is that breaking news? | |
| It is now, yeah, because I haven't read the forum in a couple hours. | |
| So, uh, tell us about that, Chefus. | |
| Do you know any details about that? | |
| Or is it posted? | |
| Yeah, it was on this morning. | |
| I, you know, someone had made a comment. | |
| He was meaty pie and said, well, it's 9 a.m. and you already have 70 posts this morning. | |
| 90. | |
| Or 90 posts. | |
| And then I think it was Chandler's dad or something, Chandler, something or other. | |
| You know, he had made a comment about, you know, him being rather annoying across many, many different threads. | |
| And then MV posted it's been taken care of. | |
| Wow. | |
| Dumb, dumb, dumb. | |
| The banana. | |
| And then someone wrote, you know, hell's hammerhand falls upon head or something like that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, so what do we think was the chemical cocktail that was driving Jackstar's behavior? | |
| You think it was meth or was he just drinking too much coffee? | |
| No, he's a tweaker. | |
| Some sort of an upper. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Illicit upper, I would say. | |
| Yeah, I can just go by the fact that it seemed there was not much sleep involved. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, Jesus, if you look at his posts, you know, whatever time of day or night you go to Belgab, you see in the recent post history, you see his name next to a huge majority of all the posts. | |
| I mean, he was posting everywhere all the time at all hours of the day and night. | |
| I mean, where do you find time to sleep when you're doing that? | |
| Hey, man, don't discomput. | |
| Oh, he loves Belgab so much. | |
| It just seems like he was falling into a pattern that he was in exactly the same place six months ago before he got banned last time. | |
| Back when he got out of rehab. | |
| And when he came back, he was fine. | |
| He was funny. | |
| He wasn't insulting people just for the thrill of it. | |
| I don't know why he tended to insult people. | |
| Maybe he's, you know, he's a genius and his humor is above mine, but I certainly didn't see a lot of humor in some of his posts. | |
| I did in some of them. | |
| You know, when he first came back, he was fine. | |
| He was doing great. | |
| I think he's pretty well read, and I think he is pretty smart. | |
| But he's awfully cryptic. | |
| And if you really want to get your message out to people, cryptic's kind of fun, but it doesn't really align people with you. | |
| I don't know. | |
| He's not here to defend people. | |
| He called in quite a bit on Bella Haven. | |
| Did he? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I think he was. | |
| I just had him on for extended periods of time. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So how did that go? | |
| Was he kind of scatterbrained or was he focused? | |
| Or was it crazy? | |
| Because I don't think I've ever heard him call into Bella Haven. | |
| Well, I took it as a function of what percent of the time you can understand what he was saying. | |
| So I would understand 40% of what he was saying. | |
| At least you thought so. | |
| Yeah, and I could have been wrong, exactly. | |
| You know, because a lot of times his posts were nothing but a bunch of graphics. | |
| And, you know, it's really hard to get the full intent unless you're in the same mindset. | |
| Wasn't it Lone Voice that posted she was able to crack the Jackstar code early on when he was unbanned this last time where she was kind of describing what his posts meant? | |
| You know, because he'd have a picture and then he'd have a sentence and then he'd have a gif or something. | |
| I missed that. | |
| And Lone Voice said, well, yeah, of course, it's obviously this. | |
| And I can't remember what it was, but it was spot on. | |
| So there's some deeper message there. | |
| But I mean, Lone Voice ain't no slouch. | |
| No, she's not. | |
| Who's got time to look into the deeper message of Jackstar? | |
| I certainly. | |
| So is Lone Voice Cassandra, though? | |
| That's the other big mystery hanging out there. | |
| Is she actually Elvira? | |
| I think she is. | |
| Yeah, because she mentions being on the red carpet and all this and that. | |
| Wouldn't that be fun? | |
| Wouldn't that be fun? | |
| I would love to have a conversation with Lone Voice on the Gabcast. | |
| And I don't think she's ever called us before or called the spec sheet or called. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Did she call into the Bella Haven? | |
| No, I think that voice would give it away if she called into something, if she wanted to, you know, keep her identity hidden. | |
| Right. | |
| That's a good point. | |
| That's a good point. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I saw a kind of a documentary on her on Cassandra. | |
| On Lone Voice? | |
| Yeah, it was on Lone Voice. | |
| On Elvira and Cassandra years and years and years ago. | |
| It was pretty interesting. | |
| I mean, it really just kind of showed the transformation from Cassandra the person to the character of Elvira. | |
| I was amazed. | |
| Yeah, because Cassandra is nothing like her character, Elvira. | |
| Not really, no. | |
| If I remember. | |
| She was actually pretty genius at the time because you didn't see a lot of attractive women in Hollywood being able to pull off comedy or weren't even given an opportunity to family in comedic roles. | |
| And she did it all on her own. | |
| And visual, too. | |
| You know, visual comedy. | |
| These are boobs. | |
| Well, those boobs were absolutely visual, my friend. | |
| Yes, they were. | |
| Oh, boy. | |
| I just remember the feeling the first time I ever tuned in to that show. | |
| Oh, boy. | |
| I think I was a teenager. | |
| I was. | |
| Are my pants getting smaller? | |
| I am confused. | |
| I feel all tingly and worn. | |
| What is this? | |
| I recorded it on my VHS, by the way. | |
| Well, I hope you send me some of those. | |
| She did a late-night TV show for a long time where she hosted scary movies. | |
| Yeah, that was the one where she, yeah, she did like the Second City version. | |
| And yeah, she did an excellent job. | |
| Yeah, I didn't. | |
| That's the show that I was referencing. | |
| She just played like bad horror movies or B movies. | |
| And, you know, in between the breaks, she'd make fun of them or talk about them or do skits or something. | |
| So Sheffist. | |
| She was doing the Mystery Science Theater 3000 long before that even. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, Sheffist, what do you know about what happened to precipitate all the problems at Bella Haven? | |
| Well, I think what happened was, and I don't know the inside story at all, but from what I gathered of just reading and that is, you know, there may have been the show had some level of expectation that maybe wasn't agreed upon before it started, whatever that means. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And also, I think it's just a very, very taxing and difficult time to have a show from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. Eastern time when you're living on the East Coast. | |
| I think that would be incredibly difficult to pull off. | |
| Yeah, I agree with that. | |
| Because you had to listen to art, right? | |
| You had to listen to art all three hours, and then you come on with your show. | |
| And yeah, that's pretty difficult. | |
| Yeah. | |
| What I noticed, and I didn't frequent that thread all that much, but I guess somebody got in the chat room during one of the shows and got really offensive. | |
| Yeah, that happened towards the end, right? | |
| There were some, well, basically what I heard, there were like three or four folks from the Falky thread that got on there, and some people had gotten upset with what they posted. | |
| And I wasn't, I was asleep that night. | |
| I didn't see it, and I didn't know that the chat was archivable. | |
| Someone said they had archived it. | |
| But evidently, there were some people trolling on there that really upset a lot of people. | |
| And the problem was they couldn't get booted, I think, or banned fast enough. | |
| And so it just kept going on and on and on. | |
| And it kind of upset the whole tone of the show that night. | |
| And that's in the chat room you're talking about, right? | |
| Not in their own. | |
| Yeah, no, the chat room. | |
| Yeah, the chat room. | |
| Right. | |
| And then I did read there was some kind of difference between I don't want to air dirty laundry here, but I'm just, it seemed like a lot of people really liked the show. | |
| So for it to just be gone kind of surprised me because I thought it was actually gaining quite a bit of popularity. | |
| It certainly seemed to be, yeah. | |
| I mean, there was a lot of activity in that thread, and a lot of people were talking very positively about that show on that thread. | |
| Right. | |
| Not only was there a lot of activity, but everybody liked it. | |
| There wasn't anybody who was really going in there. | |
| You know, I didn't read every post, so I don't know, but it seemed like it was popular all around. | |
| It didn't seem like there was any detractors at all. | |
| Well, any podcast thread that gets, what is it, 80 pages now, 85, 90 pages, closing in 100 pages, that gets that many pages in, what, a month, four weeks, five weeks? | |
| Then, yeah, that's pretty popular. | |
| I mean, most of the podcast threads on Bellgab don't have that many pages, and they've been around for years, or at least that thread has been. | |
| Well, you know, so here's Rosegirl made a comment here in chat. | |
| She said, I quit. | |
| That's what happened. | |
| Yeah, and I'm not asking for reasons. | |
| Well, I guess I am, but it really wasn't meant. | |
| I don't want to dig up any dirt or cause anybody any hard feelings. | |
| I was just, okay, the hours were killing. | |
| Well, it just seemed like a really popular show, and I was surprised to see something with so much momentum all of a sudden just stop. | |
| And that's my only comment. | |
| So. | |
| Yeah, it was a good show. | |
| And I would listen to it on SoundCloud the next day, pretty much. | |
| And I would listen to it the next day. | |
| And they had a lot of great content. | |
| And the callers were really, really good, mainly Bill Gabbards that might not have called other shows, like even this one. | |
| And it's great to hear their input, just because some people are a little intimidated, definitely. | |
| Yeah, I get that. | |
| Yeah, about speaking in public. | |
| Speaking for myself, I'm on this show every once in a while, and I'm comfortable with it. | |
| But I got to tell you, if I were going to call another show, I'd be as nervous as shit. | |
| So I get that. | |
| So anyway, that was all I had to say about it. | |
| Yeah, it's a natural tendency to feel that way. | |
| I personally, I've been public speaking for many, many years in my industry. | |
| So to be able to talk in front of people is pretty natural at this point. | |
| Not necessarily on a radio show or a telephone. | |
| That's a little more. | |
| Actually, for me, I find that more intimidating than speaking in front of an audience of people. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, that's the number one fear is speaking in a public place or speaking to an audience, calling into the radio. | |
| And that at least you get eyes on you, which is kind of a method of nonverbal communication, which as a public speaker, you can feed off of that. | |
| But on a radio show, you have nothing, right? | |
| Maybe in a chat room, you have a little something, but in just speaking and not hearing anything back, I mean, that is a talent. | |
| And to speak ad nauseum, that is an amazing talent. | |
| You know, how can someone like Art, who doesn't just speak ad nauseum, even though he could, or someone like a Rush Limbaugh, I'm not talking about politics, but just to be able to talk for three hours and get enough people interested in it day after day after day, that's an amazing gift. | |
| Yeah, it's definitely a new, a different skill set. | |
| Thanks, Shepis. | |
| Somebody Escargo recipes. | |
| Yeah, I'll cook it sometime. | |
| Never. | |
| You're on the air, man. | |
| Hello. | |
| This is Eddie Dean. | |
| I know who this is. | |
| Oh, you know who I am. | |
| Yeah, I recognize your voice. | |
| You're Michael, right? | |
| Yes. | |
| And you used to post on Bell Gab under the handle. | |
| What was your handle? | |
| E-I-E-I-O. | |
| E-I-E-I-O. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's right. | |
| Why aren't you posting now? | |
| Well, part of it. | |
| We already went through that last time, Owen. | |
| So what's on your mind, sir? | |
| Sorry. | |
| Sorry. | |
| Well, you know, I'm sorry that Redacted didn't come back, but, you know, I understand her new responsibilities. | |
| And, you know, I'm talking with a bunch of guys now. | |
| I know, isn't that depressing? | |
| Oh, I'm just giving you a hard time, man. | |
| You know, it's not that depressing. | |
| My goodness. | |
| It is a sausage fest, or as a cat smile says in the chat room, it's a cock fest. | |
| Oh, well, I don't know. | |
| I'm disturbing Michael. | |
| How do you respond to that? | |
| I know. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I think I'm on with Onin and Jazmunda. | |
| B-Dub is here. | |
| Jazz Munda is on holiday in France. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Oh. | |
| Well, he's looking for new cocks. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Shopping for French cocks. | |
| Whatever. | |
| You know, you know, the thing about it, you know, the reason I'm calling is that I think Art Bell's show tonight is going to be very, very interesting. | |
| Who's the guest? | |
| Oh, gosh. | |
| Who is the guest? | |
| He's in a slotomer. | |
| Someone with an attention span. | |
| Oh, Seth. | |
| Seth Showstack? | |
| Shellstack. | |
| Okay. | |
| That should be a good show. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That should be a really good show. | |
| But, you know, the reason I'm calling you guys is, you know, I wanted to get your feedback. | |
| You know, in case I on what? | |
| You know, pardon me? | |
| Feedback on what? | |
| Back online. | |
| Like, what was your, what did you want to get our feedback about? | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Well, I had a theory, or I have a theory that I came up with a very, very long time ago. | |
| You know, back in the early days of, you know, the days I used to listen to Art Bell. | |
| And it was about, you know, what causes sunspots. | |
| You know, I thought about that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And I was wondering if you guys have any idea what causes sunspots. | |
| You know, now that there's an astronomer, you know, a very highly educated one going to be on the show tonight. | |
| I like those science shows. | |
| Onin or B.W. You want to take a stab at that? | |
| What causes sunspots? | |
| Sunspots? | |
| Are sunspots like kind of like a solar acne? | |
| Are they like sun pimples? | |
| I don't. | |
| I think it's an electromagnetic phenomenon, isn't it? | |
| They're storms, I believe. | |
| I don't know. | |
| They're relatively small areas on the sun of lower temperature. | |
| You need. | |
| I remember as a kid looking at them through a telescope with a special filter. | |
| What causes them? | |
| I don't know, maybe old age. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Cast my chat room says they're magnetic storms, and I tend to agree. | |
| I think that might be simplifying it. | |
| But I mean, I'm not a scientist, so I thought it was electromagnetic or some sort of an issue like that. | |
| They're, you know, storms. | |
| I thought my old age joke was funny. | |
| Maybe it's like a kind of solar diarrhea. | |
| Hmm. | |
| That's interesting, sir. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, I have a sir. | |
| Do you have any solar emodium trouble? | |
| So what's your theory, Mike? | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Here goes. | |
| And this is, you know, hopefully, you know, something that's going to be interesting to Chef Showstack tonight. | |
| You know, because, you know, I want to hear his opinion. | |
| You know, he's supposedly very educated. | |
| And, you know, so far I haven't gotten anything that's even close to what, you know, seems most likely. | |
| And I, you know, I kind of gathered together, you know, stuff that I remember from, you know, growing up and looking at the sky. | |
| And, you know, I didn't have no telescope or nothing. | |
| And, you know, there were all kinds of shooting stars. | |
| And, you know, I don't know if it was a, you know, you know, a particular period when shooting stars were going on. | |
| But, you know, you know, I was looking at sunspots and, you know, what's causing them. | |
| And, you know, everything that I've heard so far doesn't make any sense. | |
| A lot of that stuff doesn't make a lot of sense. | |
| You know, I think we were talking about this last week or the week before is, you know, when you get into some of these deeper scientific theories and explanations, it's difficult to understand them sometimes because you don't have some of the basic building blocks of knowledge to get you to that certain area or to understand some of the explanations that some of these science guys give you, especially on Art Bell or, you know, when you're reading it on Wikipedia or whatever. | |
| But, you know, there's tons of information out there about sunspots on the internet, Mike. | |
| And I would suggest that maybe go look some of that stuff up. | |
| Or I'd also suggest maybe call into Art Bell tonight and ask Seth that yourself. | |
| Or go to Wikipedia. | |
| You know, I wanted to get my theory across tonight. | |
| You know, well, maybe I shouldn't do that right now. | |
| You know, it's very, very simple. | |
| Okay. | |
| Your theory about sunspots is already going to be guys want to pardon me? | |
| No, I was just saying, what's your theory about sunspots? | |
| Oh, what causes them? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I think I can do that. | |
| It's very simple. | |
| Hit us with it. | |
| You know, it's magnet or, you know, what is it? | |
| It's gravity that's causing them. | |
| Okay. | |
| And, you know, I've seen the sky at night when I was growing up. | |
| And, you know, I've seen some stuff that's very credible from the Hubble telescope. | |
| Right. | |
| You know, it's way out there. | |
| And that would be this conversation, yes. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And, well, anyway. | |
| All right, man. | |
| We appreciate the call. | |
| And I hope that you call into Art. | |
| And I hope you get your answer on what sunspots are. | |
| But we appreciate the call, man. | |
| Yeah, I'll be listening tomorrow on my way to work. | |
| So get it in. | |
| You don't listen live. | |
| It's because probably it's pretty late out there on the East Coast for you, isn't it? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, it starts at midnight. | |
| And I get up around four, so not a good idea to start listening at midnight. | |
| No, no. | |
| But, you know, the other news this week is Art now has an RSS feed announced last night. | |
| Yep. | |
| Well, I'm sorry. | |
| But if he doesn't get a one-quicky button app that I can put on my phone, I'm canceling. | |
| I'll teach him. | |
| But do you guys use Beyond Post or Beyond Pod or any podcatchers like that to download, automatically download the podcast that you listen to? | |
| I use the native Apple podcast application. | |
| It's pretty simple. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I've never used any podcatcher at all. | |
| Really? | |
| Not ever once. | |
| I just go and download them myself. | |
| I have lots of time to go and download all these podcasts. | |
| Aren't you just the house? | |
| Well, that's true. | |
| You're basically shut-in. | |
| So I have plenty of time to go. | |
| Why do you even have a phone? | |
| I mean, really. | |
| I have friends on the internet. | |
| And you are not one of them now. | |
| Knocking you off my Facebook page. | |
| If you guys want to be a part of the show tonight, the number is 623-242-2278. | |
| You know, I have the number in front of me from our old podcast or the old Gabcast, the 602 number, and I need to just throw that away because every time I say the number on air, I'm looking at that, but I'm saying the correct number that people can use to call in. | |
| You are talented, sir. | |
| It's burned into my brain. | |
| I truly mean that. | |
| I've never given out the phone number once because I can't remember it. | |
| And it's at the top of the chat scene. | |
| So I'm like, if you can't get it from there, I can't help you. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I don't know. | |
| I'm good that way. | |
| And I never even realized that it is at the top of the chat, isn't it? | |
| Yeah. | |
| But no, I think it's a good idea. | |
| It's just I'm too scatterbrained to ever think about doing it. | |
| So good for you. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| You're welcome. | |
| As far as the podcast stuff, I've been just using my phone, going to his website, clicking on one link that leads to another link that finally leads to where the files are at and just playing it from there. | |
| And then when the first file dies or finishes, I'm driving down the road at 70 miles an hour. | |
| I'm like, well, I guess I'm done until I stop. | |
| Because you can't set your podcast player to automatic play so it automatically selects the next track. | |
| So you don't have to click the forward. | |
| Well, yes, I could do that. | |
| Yes. | |
| No. | |
| I don't even know what you're talking about. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So basically, Onan in this context is Fred Flintstone, and we are the Jetsons. | |
| Yes, I think that works out well. | |
| He just needs something he can hit with a hammer and it will just work. | |
| So he's more like Bam Bam. | |
| Like I told you guys before the show started, I listened to a podcast called What the Fuck by Mark Marin. | |
| And all I got to do is click the button and I got a show. | |
| You know, I need it that simple. | |
| I don't know how else to say it. | |
| Well, it's now much more simple to get to Hard Bell's program. | |
| It's almost that easy now. | |
| When it is that easy, I'll be able to do it. | |
| All right. | |
| Do you guys usually download the podcast? | |
| I guess you do if you're using an RSS feed. | |
| Because I mean, I don't know why I would want to stream online. | |
| I mean, I'm just, I like to be able to download a file, listen to it offline or whenever the hell I want, you know, put it on an MP3 player and listen to it in the car or, you know, whatever. | |
| Is that your guys' experience as well? | |
| Well, prior to the invention of this RSS feed with our Bell, the Midnight in the Desert show, I was listening here and there. | |
| I wasn't really Listening on the phone. | |
| But now that I've got this RSS feed, I'm just like filling my phone up with our bell. | |
| And that's a good thing. | |
| Okay, I'm going to continue down this road. | |
| Everybody's going to laugh at me. | |
| But I've downloaded a few shows. | |
| And I'd rather just stream them because it's my belief that when I download them, I have an extra file on my phone. | |
| I'm like, I don't know how to delete that shit. | |
| Well, so our own, if you were to use the Apple podcast player, you just find the actually delete them automatically for you once you've listened to them. | |
| Or you can just swipe it and it'll come up with a red delete button and you just hit the red delete button. | |
| Bam. | |
| Yeah, I'll get right on that. | |
| Okay. | |
| That was like a tech support call right there. | |
| At some point, I'll just get a new phone. | |
| You know, it's really that simple. | |
| Speaking of tech support, I recorded this. | |
| You know, I get telemarketing calls all the time at my home phone number, even though I'm on the national do not call list. | |
| My number's been out there, and I've provided that home phone number to, you know, those discount cards at the grocery store and things like that. | |
| You know, it's been out there for 15 years. | |
| So my number is on deep in the telemarketers list that they use and they sell to other telemarketers. | |
| So I get these calls all the time. | |
| And I was able to record this one from it's a it's another scam, a Windows virus scam. | |
| And I was able to record it and use the George Nori soundboard. | |
| So would you guys like to hear that? | |
| I would. | |
| Yes. | |
| I would. | |
| All right. | |
| So here we go. | |
| Can I speak with the mid-owner of the computer? | |
| Yeah, hold on a second. | |
| Hey, hey, George, get on the phone, buddy. | |
| It's about the computer. | |
| How are you? | |
| Hello? | |
| Can I speak with the main owner of the computer? | |
| Ah, yes. | |
| Okay, let me tell you, sir, I'm calling you from the technical department of the Windows to let you inform you that. | |
| So we're going to disconnect your computer today, okay? | |
| Coming up tonight, we're going to be looking at them. | |
| Okay? | |
| It is bizarre, to say the least. | |
| Sorry? | |
| You've got to do something. | |
| Can I speak with the owner of the computer? | |
| How are you? | |
| This is David Hampson calling you from the Microsoft Windows, okay? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I'm calling you for the Microsoft computer. | |
| We are calling you today to let you inform you that we are going to disconnect your operating system, okay? | |
| Okay. | |
| So that's the reason we are calling you today to let you inform you that we're going to disconnect your computer because your computer got infected by some online infection, okay? | |
| Jeez. | |
| Yes. | |
| If you have to save your computer, then you need to be in front of your computer, then I can able to help you out. | |
| I think you're right. | |
| Okay? | |
| You've got to do something. | |
| You need to be in front of your computer. | |
| That's a good question. | |
| Your computer's turned on? | |
| Yeah. | |
| What can you see in your computer screen? | |
| Yep. | |
| There's no question about it. | |
| Sorry? | |
| And I cannot comprehend all this happening. | |
| What about you? | |
| What can you see in your computer screen? | |
| You've got to do something. | |
| You never know. | |
| Euck! | |
| Euck! | |
| Kind of creepy, isn't it? | |
| Hello, are you still there, sir? | |
| Oh, George, huh? | |
| Oh, too bad. | |
| I just love it. | |
| I don't know why I get such a kick out of just messing with those dickheads who call me all the time. | |
| It is so great. | |
| I just love it. | |
| And I love how the tone of the call changes in midway through the call where you can hear. | |
| He's getting so frustrated. | |
| Good one, man. | |
| Good one. | |
| I love it. | |
| Well done. | |
| Thank you, Zah. | |
| So if you guys would like to comment on anything in the Bell Gab universe tonight, you guys can give us a call at 623-242-2278. | |
| You guys have any comments about anything at all? | |
| I think we're begging. | |
| Well, we're not really begging, but I mean, you know, I don't know what the next topic is that we can talk about. | |
| I don't know. | |
| guys have anything that you would you would like to talk about have we thoroughly go ahead Let's talk about chili. | |
| Chili, okay. | |
| Chili. | |
| Cincinnati chili is an abomination. | |
| I don't know if anyone's ever tried it, but it is fucking disgusting. | |
| Yeah, it's not chili. | |
| It's not. | |
| It's like the stuff Wendy's used to sell that they called chili. | |
| It was like, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| Well, that was actually quasi-edible. | |
| This is something else. | |
| It's just wrong. | |
| It's all kinds of wrong. | |
| Eddie, have you ever had Cincinnati style chili? | |
| Did you even realize that existed? | |
| I don't know exactly what Cincinnati-style chili would be. | |
| Can you give us some insight on is it, does it have beans? | |
| Does it have meat? | |
| Is it spicy? | |
| Is it not? | |
| It is. | |
| I had some once about 20 years ago. | |
| It had spices in it that just shouldn't belong in chili. | |
| Chefist is saying here that Cincinnati chili has cinnamon in it. | |
| Yuck. | |
| It has cinnamon and also you'll serve it over spaghetti typically. | |
| Really? | |
| Yeah. | |
| It's basically like if you were completely broke, it's what you would just slap together from all the crap in your fridge for dinner. | |
| Right. | |
| Somehow. | |
| That's what my dad used to do when we were kids. | |
| He'd just throw together whatever we had the past three nights in a casserole dish and throw in a can of Lipton's cream of mushroom soup and that's dinner. | |
| All right, eat this. | |
| I'm going to go smoke a cigarette. | |
| There you go, kids. | |
| Have fun. | |
| But no, I've never had Cincinnati chili, but cinnamon, I don't know. | |
| Does that give it kind of a sweet taste or just kind of a spicy cinnamon-y taste? | |
| It is. | |
| It's just, it's wrong. | |
| I tried it once a while back. | |
| It's like Greek, and it's got Greek spices and like Mediterranean spices in it, and it's got cinnamon. | |
| I've never had it. | |
| Yeah, I prefer Hormel chili in the can. | |
| It also has turmeric. | |
| Chris Sheffist is saying in the chat. | |
| Does it really? | |
| People who eat Skyline or Cincinnati style chili will live forever because of the turmeric. | |
| Well, somebody says that it is a magic drug. | |
| It cures everything. | |
| I was not quick on the draw there. | |
| Indeed. | |
| Okay, so I have another prank call if you guys would like to listen to that. | |
| I see that the Bateman is in the chat room. | |
| And when I did this call, I didn't realize what I was doing. | |
| But after I listened back to the recording, I realized that I was kind of maybe borrowing Bateman's character, Mary Ann, for this impression. | |
| So this is kind of inspired by Bateman's Marianne. | |
| And I like to think that this lady is maybe Marianne's sister out there somewhere. | |
| So here it is. | |
| Electric bill. | |
| Now, this is a tip to help you reduce your electric bill by 50% or more. | |
| And for you to qualify. | |
| Hello, do you hear me? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Hello? | |
| And in order for you to qualify for this program, ma'am, you must have the average electric bill, $150 or more. | |
| Now, do you spend over $150 or are you spending under for your electricity bill, ma'am? | |
| Pesos? | |
| Huh? | |
| Pesos? | |
| Pesos. | |
| What's your highest electricity bill for the summer, ma'am? | |
| Don't get cross with me, young man. | |
| I don't understand what you're saying. | |
| Oh, I'm so sorry. | |
| Who is this? | |
| Is this my grandson? | |
| No, ma'am. | |
| Philly. | |
| No, ma'am. | |
| Philly, I miss you. | |
| Won't you come visit, Grandma? | |
| This is not Philly, ma'am. | |
| Is this Irving? | |
| Hello? | |
| Is this Irving? | |
| No, ma'am. | |
| This is Paul from that Arizona Green Energy Saving Program. | |
| Paul? | |
| I don't know, Paul. | |
| I know. | |
| Well, I'm trying to help you reduce your electric bill, ma'am, by 50% or more. | |
| Oh, that's nice. | |
| I hope you have luck with that. | |
| Hello? | |
| Billy? | |
| Can I talk to Billy again, please? | |
| Huh? | |
| What have you done with my grandson? | |
| Put Billy back on the phone, please. | |
| There's no Billy, ma'am. | |
| This is only Paul, ma'am. | |
| Oh, why am I talking to you? | |
| This is to help you save or reduce on your electricity bill, ma'am. | |
| Oh, I don't have electricity. | |
| They cut that off months ago. | |
| Oh, you're on solar, ma'am? | |
| No, I have no electricity. | |
| You have no electricity? | |
| No. | |
| So how do you watch TV and stuff? | |
| I don't watch that devil box. | |
| Oh, you don't watch that devil box? | |
| So you're not interested in solar, ma'am? | |
| Solar for what? | |
| I have sun. | |
| I opened the shades when I want it to be light. | |
| Well, I'm just all. | |
| How are you, ma'am? | |
| Where are you? | |
| Can I talk to Billy again, please? | |
| There's no Billy, ma'am. | |
| Oh. | |
| You have a nice day and a wonderful day, okay? | |
| Where's Billy? | |
| All right, bye. | |
| Nice. | |
| Are you laughing at an elderly woman who's actually a dude? | |
| Yeah, that's good. | |
| So I'm going to hell. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, we knew that beforehand. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But I'm really going to hell. | |
| I'm going to the deeper levels of hell, I believe. | |
| Yeah, you're not going to hell for trolling telemarketers, though. | |
| Yeah, that'll probably raise you up a level in St. Peter's. | |
| That'll actually help me in hell. | |
| You're getting points for this. | |
| They're like, you know, St. Peter or whoever is manning the Pearly Gates right now is going, that Eddie Dean character, he's a real cut up. | |
| I like you. | |
| He's a real cut-up, that Eddie Dean character. | |
| What if I don't believe in that? | |
| Well, then you're fucked. | |
| Then I'm really, then that's why I'm going to hell because I don't believe in heaven. | |
| Okay. | |
| So you believe in hell, but not heaven. | |
| Is that how it works? | |
| No, I don't believe in either, really. | |
| Oh, well, then you probably won't go to either place. | |
| Oh, good. | |
| I mean. | |
| So you go where you believe? | |
| Well, I don't know. | |
| It just seems to me that if I didn't know that France was there, I would never try to buy a ticket. | |
| In the afterlife, I believe I will go to France and boom, you're there. | |
| See? | |
| And bang chicks. | |
| What's that? | |
| When I die, I'm going to go to France and bang hot Russian chicks. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That'll be awesome. | |
| You can get that right now on the website. | |
| Oh, really? | |
| I'm sure a couple hundred bucks, man, and you'll be ready. | |
| Do you have that address? | |
| Yeah, it's hotrussianbabes.com. | |
| You can't miss it. | |
| What's with all the dating ads on Bellgab? | |
| I see them all the time. | |
| Do you guys tell me that you guys see all these Russian and Ukrainian and Asian dating sites? | |
| Yeah, I've seen that. | |
| Yeah, I'm guessing it's partly because of the paranormal dating site that George started. | |
| People are posting about. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I just think they pay money to get on a website. | |
| And I mean, I guess there might be some interest because I don't get any of that because my wife is buying a crap ton of furniture and housing decorations. | |
| So the only ads I get are from overstock.com or from some blind company. | |
| I wish I was getting hot Russian babes. | |
| So you're not getting any of those ads that I'm getting, huh? | |
| You're not getting any paranormal date ads or anything? | |
| Well, you know, I only see them when I'm on my phone because I have that ad block on my computer. | |
| So, you know, now that I say that, I don't know because my wife doesn't use my phone to order shit. | |
| So I don't know. | |
| I got nothing. | |
| I got no clue. | |
| Jag off. | |
| That's all. | |
| By the way, that's a new clip. | |
| Jag off that Jamal from Belgab sent to me. | |
| And I haven't. | |
| He sent that like six weeks ago, and I haven't been able to use it. | |
| So shout out to Jamal from Belgab. | |
| Thanks. | |
| I haven't seen him post in a while. | |
| He admitted that he was a lurker, mostly a lurker. | |
| Who are we talking about? | |
| I can't pronounce his last name, or actually, I can't remember what his last name is. | |
| But his name is Jamal or Jamal from Belgab. | |
| Jamal something. | |
| I don't know what that is. | |
| Is that his username? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, I've got it here somewhere. | |
| He PM'd me. | |
| And his avatar is interesting. | |
| Yeah, is the dude from that movie. | |
| That one movie that one guy is in. | |
| That one guy, yeah. | |
| That Owen lacks. | |
| Jamal Abinani. | |
| And he told me, he might not want me to tell you this. | |
| Oh, screw it. | |
| I'm going to tell you anyway. | |
| If I can find it. | |
| Jag off. | |
| Yeah, that's me. | |
| That's my new favorite clip. | |
| He says most people think it's some Middle Eastern name, but actually It's French for something, but I'll be damned if I can find his PM to tell me. | |
| I think he said he lifted that from Coast to Coast when George was introducing a Jag officer. | |
| So he just cut off the sir part at the end, and we get jag off. | |
| Jagoff. | |
| That's pretty clever. | |
| It's just nice. | |
| Fringing brilliant. | |
| Here it is. | |
| P.S. My screen name is French for my penis hurts. | |
| Nice. | |
| That's awesome. | |
| That's clever as hell. | |
| Yeah, I agree. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| There's something wrong with my mouth. | |
| So that's what we're reduced to: I'm just going to play the George Nori soundboard for the rest of the show, unless you guys. | |
| Oh, you know what? | |
| There's this clip that I wanted to play that's pretty funny. | |
| Well, you put a wig on and glasses, you're going to look like producer Tom then. | |
| You don't want to do that. | |
| Is anybody else losing interest in what George says? | |
| Because I noticed his George Nori sucks thread has moved to a crawl. | |
| Hey, are you saying that you see a time in the near future when the soundboard will no longer be hysterical? | |
| No, that will always be. | |
| A key tool. | |
| We'll always have the soundboard. | |
| My friends always have that. | |
| It's just the real George Nori will have less and less impact. | |
| I mean, you know, when you stop and think about it, there's only so many words in the English language. | |
| And, you know, okay, granted, he can mispronounce most of them, but at some point you run out of different variations on what to say. | |
| And he said just about every dumb thing you can think of. | |
| You know, to be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to the George Norrie Sucks thread or Coast to Coast for the most part. | |
| And from what you're saying, it appears that the rest of Belgab hasn't really been either. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Now that there's another program, another program that really blows his program out of the water. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I think some people still do subscribe to his show. | |
| Surprises me that they would, but. | |
| Well, those are probably people that suffer from mental health disorders and live in group homes. | |
| Separation, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. | |
| Yeah, there you go. | |
| I'm not giving up my security for anything. | |
| So I guess we kind of started talking about this at the beginning of the show, and I don't know if we actually even discussed it all that much. | |
| But the changes at Belgab, it just seems like, and granted, Belgab is going to change bit by bit every single day, but it just seems like it's different for some reason. | |
| Like it has a different vibe, different mood, and just kind of like a dark undertone for some reason. | |
| It's because there's like 300 new people and 50 of them are people with borderline personality disorders who are just going around trying to make people miserable. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I think, I don't know. | |
| I mean, it's always changing. | |
| Well, but there is, you know, and it might just be numbers, but Bellgab of four years ago is a significantly different animal than it is today. | |
| I don't know what that means. | |
| I don't know how I can really explain it. | |
| I think the conversations were a little friendlier. | |
| There were a lot of interesting topics, and that seems to have died down. | |
| I don't know how to peg it any closer than that. | |
| You think that might even out while once people kind of get used to art being back and kind of the new shininess wears off of Art's new program? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I really think that there is a much larger population of people. | |
| And what used to be a couple of people discussing a subject now, there's so many people jumping in. | |
| And I got to admit, I'm pretty bad at this myself, of just going in and tossing in a snarky little comment and then moving on, never really considering that I might be sabotaging a conversation that starts. | |
| You're part of the problem. | |
| I'm part of the problem. | |
| Yeah, that's it. | |
| Maybe I am the problem. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Yeah, I don't know either. | |
| It just, and it could be me. | |
| I mean, it could be just that, you know, my perception is a little bit differently. | |
| And I'm not saying that it's worse or it's terrible or, you know, I'm storming out the door because of it. | |
| It's just different. | |
| You know, just has a different tone, a different feel. | |
| And I was just wondering if you guys, if you guys noticed that too. | |
| That's all. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Or maybe I'm noticing something a little bit different. | |
| I don't know. | |
| But yeah, I get a different feel when I log in. | |
| Are you guys participating in the live threads? | |
| Not really, because I'm usually asleep when that happens. | |
| Right. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Because you guys both have both on the East Coast time. | |
| Yeah, and we have like real jobs. | |
| Right. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And I don't know. | |
| When I listen to an Art Bell show, I usually get engaged in it. | |
| But I think this show is better in production value or quality or something, or just the energy. | |
| I think it's better than the one that was on Sirius. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| But I had a lot more motivation to stay up for the Sirius shows. | |
| And I had a very similar job at that time to what I've got now. | |
| Oh, but that was a difference. | |
| I only had to work. | |
| I only worked three days a week then. | |
| So there was that. | |
| So, I don't know. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| The show does feel different. | |
| It feels better. | |
| It feels smoother. | |
| It feels like there's a lot more energy. | |
| Art seems to be having a great time doing what he loves doing. | |
| And I hope that continues because, you know, it might be just because the show is so new and he's still, you know, he hasn't really hit the grind yet or hit the wall, so to speak. | |
| But I really hope that continues, man. | |
| And speaking of the live threads, too, there's a lot of really great new posters in there. | |
| There's a couple guys or one guy in particular, and I can't remember his name, but he posts these most amazing GIFs during the live in the live threads. | |
| And they're hilarious. | |
| They're really great. | |
| And I hope that, you know, three years or five years or whatever it is, once art decides to wind down this show, I hope these people stick around and not just abandon ship like most everybody did after SiriusXM show a couple years ago. | |
| Yeah, a lot of people did kind of walk away. | |
| I was pretty disappointed at that time too. | |
| I was so angry I went out and bought the website, the web domain, artballsucks.com. | |
| Well, that was money well spent. | |
| Yeah, really. | |
| And you actually, didn't she actually use that to promote his return? | |
| Yes, I did. | |
| Well, another thing that I, another clip, I guess this is a clip show tonight. | |
| I was listening to one of those Sirius XM shows, and it was from October 1st, and Richard C. Hoagland was on the show. | |
| And this is the clip where Art first mentions Bellgab being vaguely lovable. | |
| So I thought that might be interesting for you guys to listen to if you didn't, people out there that are listening that didn't hear this clip. | |
| And it's the reason why Bell Gabbers refer to Bellgab as vaguely lovable now. | |
| I think this is the origin of that comment. | |
| Bell Gab is a site. | |
| B-E-L-L-G-A-B. | |
| Bellgab. | |
| Actually, there are a bunch of very vicious critics and only vaguely lovable, but it's pretty cool. | |
| And so if you get a chance, you know, go to Google, put in Belgab and go take a look. | |
| It's a, you know, a site where people, I don't know what they do there. | |
| Anyway, they do it. | |
| I love that. | |
| I don't know what they do there, but they do it. | |
| Indeed, Mr. Bell. | |
| We do it. | |
| We do it damn well, too, so how dare you? | |
| We do it all the time. | |
| Yeah. | |
| If you're Jackstar. | |
| Well, apparently not anymore. | |
| Nope. | |
| Not anymore. | |
| All right. | |
| So this is last call, everybody. | |
| If you guys would like to call up and be a part of the show, the number 623-242-2278. | |
| You can also Skype call us by typing in the .gabcast. | |
| So last call, everybody, before we wind this sucker down. | |
| Anything else you guys want to talk about that we haven't covered tonight? | |
| I'm really glad we were able to talk about Chile. | |
| Oh, yeah, me too. | |
| It was good to get together and talk about Chili. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well. | |
| And S Cargo. | |
| And Escargo. | |
| And we got a recipe, too. | |
| We got a recipe for Phlegm. | |
| Just the way I like it. | |
| Yes. | |
| Yeah, you can barbecue that on a pizza stone. | |
| Very tasty. | |
| Yeah. | |
| No wonder no one wants to call in. | |
| Oh, shit, we're fucking dying. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Well, like I said, you know, the show is changing. | |
| You know, Redacted is no longer here. | |
| And you know what? | |
| I suspect that she will call in at some time to say hi and maybe talk, tell us a little bit about what she's doing now. | |
| Mash, she's moved on to better. | |
| She hates us. | |
| She's trying to put this behind her. | |
| We're a bad memory that she wants to walk away from. | |
| And I don't blame her. | |
| No. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Of course. | |
| We wish her well, of course. | |
| But yeah. | |
| So I thought that that was worth a mention anyway. | |
| I mean, we really, we started talking about it, and then I think I took a call and we really didn't even finish talking about it. | |
| So is White Crow banned? | |
| No. | |
| No, he posted just the other day. | |
| Or just today, I believe I saw. | |
| He requested like a glossy 8x10 photograph of Redacted. | |
| Well, so did I. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, just weird. | |
| That was weird. | |
| Creeper, creeper. | |
| And here. | |
| I think sometimes people are funny in their own way and it doesn't translate well to text or other people. | |
| Or, you know, I don't know what to say about that. | |
| You're on the internet. | |
| You're going to get things said to you that you might not understand or like. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, if he's not sending cockpicks, he's still on the good side of the line. | |
| Well, I don't know. | |
| Eddie Dean, you're the one that checks the emails. | |
| He's sending cockpits to the gabcast. | |
| I don't have access to that anymore. | |
| I haven't checked that email in forever. | |
| You'd have to ask. | |
| I have to ask MV. | |
| Another change. | |
| Another change. | |
| Someone's going to be doing a football show. | |
| Someone special. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I feel creepy even promoting it or trying to mention it on this show for some reason. | |
| I don't know why. | |
| That's shame-based. | |
| Because I'm guilt-ridden. | |
| And I should be, goddammit. | |
| You are the worst version. | |
| No, it just feels it feels creepy. | |
| I deserve bad things. | |
| I really am. | |
| If you guys would know what the thoughts are in my head, you wouldn't be saying the nice things you say. | |
| Yeah, we'd be like, we need to get a restraining order against this guy. | |
| That which is most personal is most general, sir. | |
| Okay. | |
| So apparently we've scared off the listeners, and nobody wants to call. | |
| Which is just the way I like it. | |
| And things just got weird. | |
| So, you know, it's full circle. | |
| It really is full circle. | |
| This is just like the first gab cast that we've done together. | |
| I like it. | |
| I didn't think it got weird. | |
| Just that last part. | |
| I just feel weird, just that last part. | |
| Well, I want to keep you in the weird. | |
| So tell me more about this football show. | |
| Well, it's a podcast that me and Curtis decided to do together on Saturday nights about NFL football. | |
| And we've got a football pool, a pick'em pool that people can sign up to and play along with us during the season. | |
| And it should be a lot of fun, man. | |
| I'm really excited about it. | |
| Can you send us glossies? | |
| I will send you glossies of Brett Favre. | |
| That's what I wanted. | |
| That's what I wanted. | |
| Are you a football fan? | |
| Do you have a favorite football team there owning? | |
| No. | |
| You lost me. | |
| I was like, fuck, football show. | |
| Fuck football. | |
| I think a lot of people are liking that, but yeah, I won't be there. | |
| I got to say that I'm pretty surprised that there are a few football fans are coming out of the, coming out of the woodwork at Bellgab. | |
| I thought that that was a taboo subject, or at least not very popular one. | |
| Every football thread that I saw that was posted on Bellgab in the past couple years has died a quick death. | |
| No, everybody at work is talking about football. | |
| I mean, oh my God. | |
| I don't get it. | |
| I've never held a fascination for sports, especially pro sports. | |
| But a lot of people do. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You're on the air. | |
| We've got one last call. | |
| I'm so happy football's back. | |
| Yeah, man. | |
| I missed, I so much missed watching that beautiful soccer ball go through the net. | |
| Soccer ball. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So you talked about this, Chefist? | |
| No, it's Saucy. | |
| Hey, guys. | |
| Hey, man. | |
| How are you guys doing? | |
| See, it's just dead tonight, man. | |
| That joke just bombed. | |
| I know. | |
| You know what? | |
| Does somebody have a gun? | |
| Can we put everybody out of this misery? | |
| I do have this. | |
| There we go. | |
| Crickets. | |
| So what's up, Saucy? | |
| No, you know, not much. | |
| I'm looking forward to your football show, honestly. | |
| Good. | |
| Thanks, man. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I think a lot of people are. | |
| I think a lot of people are. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Please don't take my sour note and take it as the whole world. | |
| No, just me. | |
| You know, Art Bell's probably going to be interested in that because he's a huge football nerd. | |
| Yeah, he loves, yeah, he loves football. | |
| Wow, so the uh, so it's pretty genius then, yeah, yeah, man. | |
| You seized the moment, sir. | |
| You, you were you're gonna have you're gonna be on the dark matter digital network and everything. | |
| Oh, let's not go that far. | |
| Yeah, it's about paranormal, unless we talk about football conspiracy. | |
| Haunted jockstraps with Eddie Dean. | |
| Haunted locker rooms. | |
| We'll be doing this Sunday wrap-up on the frozen tundra. | |
| Eddie. | |
| Yes. | |
| Do you guys want guests for that show? | |
| I don't think we're going to be doing guests. | |
| I don't know. | |
| It might morph into something that it's, you know, it might change, but right now we're just going to be maybe, you know, talking about NFL news, talking about the matchups each week and what we think is interesting in the football world. | |
| And, you know, I'm going to talk about the football show. | |
| Really? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| So, you know, if you ever, you know, want like an analyst or somebody, I can't get like big name people, but I do have an interesting little phone book full of names. | |
| Really? | |
| That I could throw your way. | |
| So you're a bookie is what you're telling us. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, right. | |
| No, no, I used to produce a local ESPN radio football show. | |
| Did you really? | |
| That's cool. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| So, yeah, I got some peeps I could throw your way. | |
| Wow. | |
| I will keep that in mind. | |
| But I really plan on it being that expert type of thing. | |
| You know, it's just kind of a fan from a fan's perspective is kind of what the angle that we're taking. | |
| I'm not going to get anybody your way if you embarrassed me. | |
| Anyway, so yeah. | |
| I think you should bring on like old grizzled like ex-football players, but like guys who played but like were never huge and they just bitch and moan. | |
| Bitch and moan about. | |
| Hey, I'm not done. | |
| Oh, sorry. | |
| Basically, cripples. | |
| By the way, you should always do the show in that female voice you were doing earlier when you said, oh, football. | |
| Oh, did you like that, Saucy? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Did that make you hilarious? | |
| Did that make you tingle in certain areas? | |
| In the neither regions. | |
| In the nether regions? | |
| But no, seriously, I do have a funny Dick Butkus story. | |
| Speaking of nether. | |
| That's funny just in and of itself. | |
| Just that guy's Dick Butkus. | |
| So I'll have to call in when your show starts. | |
| Cool, man. | |
| Yeah, I would welcome. | |
| We're going to take live calls and all that. | |
| I don't know if He Butkus is dead or not. | |
| Is he Saucy? | |
| Go ahead. | |
| When I spoke to him, he was very much alive. | |
| He scared the living. | |
| Can I say crap? | |
| Yeah, scared the living crap out of me. | |
| No. | |
| Yeah. | |
| What is. | |
| Yeah, he was quite the interesting character. | |
| Oh, he's a big dude, too, man. | |
| I mean, you would not make fun of his name in front of that guy. | |
| I mean, wasn't he a lineman or a defensive back or something? | |
| He was a linebacker. | |
| Linebacker. | |
| He was like one of the best linebackers of all time. | |
| Yeah. | |
| From the Bears, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| He was as mean as it comes. | |
| But nobody cares about this stuff on the Gabcast. | |
| All right. | |
| Double Bears. | |
| Double Bears. | |
| All right, Saucy. | |
| Thanks for the call, man. | |
| All right, Jen. | |
| Thanks, man. | |
| Don't interrupt me again. | |
| Do you have a Dick Buttus story? | |
| No, I don't have any Butkus story. | |
| I'd be fucking angry, just ready to go anytime. | |
| If my name is Dick Butkus, it's like the boy named Sue. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, how much grief are you going to catch because your name is Dick Butkus? | |
| Well, maybe that's why he got to be the professional football player. | |
| That's exactly what I'm saying. | |
| That's why I'm catching up with me. | |
| All right. | |
| So, well, maybe if you hadn't been talking in circles, we would have gotten there sooner. | |
| Don't interrupt me, sir. | |
| Don't interrupt me. | |
| No. | |
| Yeah, that's why he likes to hit people. | |
| I'm fairly certain. | |
| Because all the kids that used to make fun of him until he got bigger. | |
| All that rage. | |
| Yeah, you might want to stay away from that. | |
| Excuse me, that's Richard, sir. | |
| Don't you ever call me Dick. | |
| Dick is my dad's name. | |
| Oh, I hear the magic music that makes the pain stop. | |
| It's making this pain stop. | |
| That's what we're here for, ladies and gentlemen, to make the Gabcast pain stop. | |
| Well, we appreciate everybody listening tonight. | |
| I appreciate B-Dub and Onin. | |
| Good job, you guys. | |
| A lot of fun. | |
| Thanks, everybody, for being there. | |
| Thanks, everybody in the chat room, and thanks, everybody who called in. | |
| We appreciate it. | |
| I'm Eddie Dean, and we will see you next time, everybody. | |
| Good night. Good night. | |
| I keep all rated and we'll do it live. |
