*snarf*

[Catshrink]

8. This is the best part:

"They want a government
that's weak and can't protect us.
For President
they want that nincompoop from Texas."

[Frank_Person]

12. Stream sounds so much better!

[prolesunited]

13. Sounds awesome!

Hi, Guy and Michael :hi:

[La_Serpiente]

14. Where is Mike Malloy?

Ahhhhhh

[nostamj]

17. hot damn!

I wrote to Malloy last night (along with a bunch of others) to call in for his first show on the new location.

damn the TECH PROBLEMS!!!

[prolesunited]

20. Well, you certainly know now

That you have some pull. :-)

Stuff happens. What are you going to do? Maybe they'll still get through.

[nostamj]

24. if MM remembers ME

it's because of OUR collaboration on FWIW.

he had it linked on his website and wrote a very nice note when you first put it out...

[prolesunited]

15. Mike Malloy

What a welcome and way to start.

[Frank_Person]

18. RE Website down

Our host is Hostcentric. I can't say I recommend them. Archives and website are intermittent.

[americanstranger]

21. I'm on hold now....

Phone glitch. Ain't technology grand?

-as

[nostamj]

23. thanks for trying!

he had Malloy and lost the call :grr:

[americanstranger]

25. I'm hanging on, buddy.

When he picked me up, I could hear him but he couldn't hear me.

And I'm hearing Dr. Dean on hold. Ewwwwwwwww.....

-as

[nostamj]

43. that dialog was WELL worth waiting for!

terrific call! (not that that is a surprise!)

[nostamj]

22. still no calls...........

damn damn damn

guy gave me a local number, but I don't know if that would work or if he wants it posted.

Michael???????? are you watching ????

is it only the toll-free that's not working?

[JanMichael]

31. Is the toll free number working yet?

Just curious. The have an engineer here now

[nostamj]

32. dunno but you've got Don Waller (americanstranger)

on hold.........

[Mika]

26. Do rightwingnut shows have such problems?

Is it my imagination.. or is this the way not to introduce a (lefty) show to a vastly larger Florida audience?

Why wasn't this checked out in advance?

Its downright embarrassing.

[Misinformed01]

27. Well, now you know. Only Liberals have technical/computer

problems in America.

[Judi Lynn]

28. Question to any DU listerner. Who's on the phone to Guy James?

I stepped out of the room during the commercial and got back too late to hear his name.

Thanks.

I'm sure they'll get this fixed soon.

[americanstranger]

29. me.

On interminable hold....

-as

[prolesunited]

34. There you go!

Thanks for hanging in there. I was looking forward to hearing you.

[soup]

47. oh, dear.

heard just the beginning of your call, then lost the feed. :-(

on edit: -frustrating- just got it back - had to reopen the player.

[americanstranger]

49. That was at the -first- bar.

We swung over to the West Side and hit a bar and had a dozen or so pitchers after you departed.

Damn, that was a fun night.

[prolesunited]

46. Hi, Jeff!

Sound great

[soup]

48. there's no fence to sit on.

good comment on swing voters, janmichael. It just struck me how true that is right now.

[Judi Lynn]

50. Wow! A milestone moment!

Both a repeat letter writer, COMBINED with threats! "Republican Love" has been kicked "up a notch."

Wooo Hooooo! :bounce:

On edit:

Exquisite music background! Perfect.

[soup]

51. love this segment.

Those letters are absolutely hilarious in a terrifying sort of way.

[soup]

phrase of the week LOL

[hayu_lol]

54. Got the new website design early this morning...

Are people still having trouble? Its about 5pm...EST.

[soup]

http://pointers.audiovideoweb.com/asxfiles-live/njwinlive7534.asx

[Judi Lynn]

56. Try this, hayu_lol

LaSerpiente (from SoCalDem's earlier post) posted in in post #4. I couldn't get the website, and this link zipped me right to the source:

http://pointers.audiovideoweb.com/asxfiles-live/njwinlive7534.asx

Good luck.

[hayu_lol]

61. Judi...

Thanks for the link...but with that one, I get bumped off the net completely for some reason.
Cant access his homepage either on the original link.
Probably have to wait till next week when they get whatever gremlins are in the new setup--out of the system.

[Judi Lynn]

77. Good luck, hayu_lol

Won't be right until we know you're getting Guy James, too.

http://www.theguyjamesshow.com/

His home page is up again. New design, looks great.

We'll be pulling for ha.

[JanMichael]

53. Malloy should be on the show at 10 after 5.

Yippee!

[JanMichael]

71. Trying his home number...

...so far just the voice mail...We'll keep calling.

Sorry guys.

[nostamj]

57. it's AWD!!!!

go Jeff!!!!!

[Catshrink]

58. Sounds great -- he's making some good points.

Uniter -- good in Europe in the 30's & 40's!

Hasn't united but divided.... united the world against us.

As for the fund raiser on DU -- is Andy from WA involved? Jeff didn't name him.

[nostamj]

65. no, this is for CONGRESSIONAL candidates only

I did the banner ad.

[AWD]

68. Yes, you did!

And it's a damn fine banner. DU will get a look at the artwork in 2 days!

You need to teach me how to move the bulldozer along the line....or build a bunch more with the dozer in different areas

[nostamj]

72. if YOU want to move the dozer

you need the photoshop file and need to know how to work with LAYERS.

i send you a 'flattened' image. you CAN'T really change that.

call me or i'll call you after the show

[AWD]

79. Going out to dinner with friends....

...but you can call me anyway. Cell phone, ya know?

Yeah, I can move it with the layers...just gimme a quick schooling. I have PhotoShop 7.0 (8.0 won't install).

[Catshrink]

75. Thanks for the info...

Wish someone here from DU was running.

[AWD]

67. FEC laws....

...prohibit a state candidate (Andy) from participating in a joint fundraiser with federal candidates (me, Vince, Charlie)

But I will personally donate to Andy, and I hope Cince and Charlie will. We cannot legally use the funds from this upcoming fundraiser, but Andy will not suffer from the DUers For Congress effort.

[Catshrink]

76. Got it. You sounded great, Jeff.

Good work....

[Judi Lynn]

59. Hey, is the current caller, Kathy, also prolesunited?

Also, great call from AWD. Interesting to learn Guy James knows his opponent. It's been great following news of his campaign, and political goals.

[prolesunited]

60. Nope

Sharon from Chicago :D

[Judi Lynn]

62. Thanks, prolesunited. I was way off. n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

63. Kathy from Cambridge was Me

:hi:

[Catshrink]

64. You sounded great, RR.

This really is DU radio, isn't it?

[Judi Lynn]

66. Ditto. Great call, again.! n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

70. Thanks, I always get nervous on the radio

[Catshrink]

74. You didn't sound nervous -- you sounded wonderful.

[AWD]

78. RR is everywhere

...or so I'm told. Jonnyblitz says that Rational Rose can be found EVERYWHERE.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

83. Yup, i'm omnipresent

:-)

I was in Rome last week...jonny's still in Amsterdam, the bastid.

[LWolf]

69. Checking in just in time for the end of the show.

My link to the site didn't work, but La Serpiente's link got me on.

[nostamj]

73. that's prolesunited (sharon)

on now!

[prolesunited]

80. That was fun!

:hi:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

84. Good call, Sharon!

:hi:

[prolesunited]

86. Thanks!

Guess which thread was my inspiration. ;-)

[Catshrink]

81. Love to hear the Wal-Mart bashing...

pay their employees a livable wage! No kidding. $14,000 vs. the heirs' billions. Something isn't right here.

[Judi Lynn]

82. Thanks, nostamj! n/t

[eleny]

85. Congratulations guys!

[prolesunited]

87. Great show!

Congrats on your debut at the new station. :toast:

[LWolf]

88. Good last half hour.

I'm glad I made it home in time.

I appreciated the discussion about living wage, Walmart, etc.

:yourock:

[BeachBuckeye]

89. My apologies!

I'm terribly sorry for the technical snafu's we experienced today. We looked forward for some time now to starting off with a real bang at the new station. Not being a techie, I still don't completely understand what went wrong but they apologized profusely and promised to correct it by next week. So then I get home and find out that many of you had trouble logging on to www.theguyjamesshow.com So I call the web-hosting company and the trouble lies with the domain register company who did not put thru the automatic renewal. I haven't been able to contact our excellent web-master, Frank but I'll bet he has pulled his hair out over this. Well, anyway, I'll get it corrected tomorrow or know the reason why. Thanks for your understanding and continued support.

Guy

[nostamj]

90. you (and michael) pulled it together

the DNC guy was good, but, the extended dialog with americanstranger/don waller really put things in motion.

that was just a great exchange!

from there, you just sailed! hope those 'ears' stayed tuned long enough to hear what they needed to hear

[JanMichael]

92. All of the DU callers did GREAT!

Don was simply awesome with his media knowledge. You and Prolesunited were both sharp as hell great callers. Rational Rose was splended too.

Almost forgot AWD with his campaign news!

Anyway you all were a tremendous help!

[nostamj]

93. i'm pretty sure ALL of who all us enjoy

talking to you and guy

you make it so easy.

[americanstranger]

94. It was a pleasure.

Glad I finally got to talk with you guys. Easiest segment of radio I've ever done. ;)

-as

[JanMichael]

95. Hey! I'm listening to your call right now!

Great call.

[JanMichael]

91. Shit happens I suppose.

Either way though the show took off after the station people fixed their problems.

I think it was an exceptional show even with the technical troubles.
