Official "Guy James Show" thread Please keep kicked
Hello again. Thanks for the huge listener numbers last week. Largest audience we've ever had except for the week after the election.

We're going to have a lively program tonight. Dr. Max Sawicky, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute will be our guest. He is an expert on the Federal Budget, Federal tax policy, and Sate and local tax spending issues, Public finance, and Privatization. What he doesn't know about the Social Security issue isn't worth knowing.

He has worked in the Office of State and Local Finance of the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S.Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. He also serves on the at-large national board of the Americans for Democratic Action.

You may call with questions for him if you like. He'll be on at 7:30 Eastern time.

We're going to roast a couple of Democrats who voted with Gonzalas and Rice. One of them is my own Senator, Bill Nelson who refused an invitation to appear on the show tonight. I'll work for the defeat of any Democrat who backed those two.

Call in at 1-888-602-7500, 7501, 7502, 7503, 7504 or listen live at www.theguyjamesshow.com

Be there or be square!
Guy

Pure pandering to the radical Miami Cuban-American factions. :puke:

I've missed Guy every Saturday since the time change...
...but NOT TODAY, BAY-BEE!

:toast:

Man, have I missed this show. White Rose is great, but I have a serious "Guy James Live" Jones.

3. A bit early today!
White Rose will be recording, though I will not be here, having agreed to babysit for my little nephew.

If you haven't been to White Rose in a while, stop on by. Major changes brewing!

9. We're up and running
The feed still sounds a bit "grainy" I can't get them to fix it properly. Too many Republicans around here:)

We'll start the show at 7pm Hey guys, how about lots of calls this evening. We're experiencing something weird with the show. Our listenership is way up and our calls are way down. Doesn't make sense. The syndication people love to hear lots of calls. It shows them the host is exciting the listeners and they like that a lot.

10. Of course the host is "exciting"; and, you tell them I told you so...
I prefer the word "stimulating", but, I am not about to argue the symantics!

11. guess who has a NEW WEBSITE?
well, in progress... LOTS of content to get in yet but you'll get the 'feel' for it.... esp. in the STORE and WRITING sections. the GRAPHIC DESIGN is really important so, I'm still edited and formatting that area... but soon, soon...

no peeking, except during newsbreaks! ;-)

Nostamj's NEW Website!

15. Sounds like a gain mismatch.
The gain is way too high ahead of the compressor, I think.

Clipping.

19. I'm going to "play" with the recording tomorrow
I have an array of filters here that might improve matters, but which are far more likely to make things worse, so I'd never cut them in live.

26. Hi everyone!
Checking in reasonably early, and glad to report that I can hear the show today. My low volume last week turned out to be thanks to my son, who reset the sound system when he visited for a couple of days, so he could stay up late on my computer without waking me up.

I've got it loud, but not clear; some static. But great to be here, and able to "hear."


:hi:

28. How big was the audience?
How do you measure the size the audience? By web-streaming hits? How do you know how many are listening on radio? Don't get to involved in answering I am only curious.

I reduced the lower tones and raised the higher frequencies a bit on my end. The caller's voice seems better.

39. Plus the American people pay these media pundits indirectly...
by purchasing the products and services during the commercial time. And, some of them make "buku bucks"!

41. The problem is the belief systems of some of these people...
Edited on Sat Feb-05-05 09:35 PM by coreystone
are so entrenched in the sands of comfort, and, the denial that the realization of what is going on in this country is wrong, is a greater threat to their personna than what they are suffering than what they are experiencing as a result of drinking the 'kool aid'!!!

43. Great Show!
My Senator Bill Nelson didn't disappoint me, I would have bet he would vote with the Repukes!

We need Dems with backbones (and balls!)

Something good about Bush?? He and his cronys are the best spinmeisters I've ever seen!!!
