A couple of weeks ago, I posted a comment that a radio broadcast where we can all get together and actually hear each other talk would be a great idea. I said “all I need is an off-the-hook co-host” and Angie immediately jumped on it! We’ve since opened an account called “The Crawdad Crew” and here we are; about to have our first live broadcast!
We’ve already had a successful test broadcast to get used to the interface and check out our chemistry, which is off the charts btw… I had hoped to include a video with some clips from our conversation, but my sound editing app was upgraded mercilessly, and the new format makes it almost impossible to isolate selections unless you’re Einstein. Its currently 7:30 am here in NYC and I started working with it at 4am. No dice – sorry folks. But the Blogtalk Radio interface is perfectly working as you’ll see later today.
- SHOWTIME: 3:00 pm Eastern, Noon Pacific
- OUR PANEL: Angie, Lola, Dandy Tiger and Me
- TOPICS: Media Bias, latest Wikileaks revelations, and anything that the Sunday Talk Shows are lying about this week (or as we call it, “The Stephanopoulae Report”)
Its simple to use – follow this link to listen from your PC, tablet or phone. Once your’e there, you’ll have the opportunity to start a free guest account, which will also let you in to our live chat room. I suggest that option for those of you who are too shy to speak on the air because Lola will be monitoring it like a hawk so she can communicate your questions to the panel. If you’d rather not set up an account, simply call in to the number provided.
You can also leave your suggestions for additional topics in your comments below, which we will add as time permits. The broadcast is scheduled to last for 2 hours in the event caller traffic is high or our panel is particularly mouthy (entirely possible 😀 ).
Hope to hear from you later! (call in and shoot your mouth off at (929) 477-1796 )
This is an open thread
Saw this and thought of you VM 😉 How would you handle this book store customer?
“I can order it for you.” Perfect!
😀
She even looks like Kathy Bates.
I hope that was performance art.
Can’t wait for the show ! Today, I will just concentrate on being able to listen in, Break a Leg !
Anyway I can tease you into calling in? 🙂
I’m excited to hear you all. I won’t be around today, but I’ll listen to the podcast latter on. (There will be a way to do that, right?)
Thanks, and yes there is a way to do that. Just go to this link and you can listen to the archived podcast
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thecrawdadcrew/2016/08/14/right-outta-the-gate
Thanks. I’ll hear you all later tonite.
Break a leg! 😉💕
A million thanks. It was great to listen to everyone.
From what I understand, this happened because cops killed a black thug pointing a stolen gun at them? Obama’s world of hating whitey 😦
I’m sure Trump is to blame for this riot. If only he were not running, everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
“They” are also blaming Trump for the Imam who got snuffed in Queens yesterday. According to some of my (Hillary supporting) neighbors I ran into at the corner store this morning, they’re already talking about “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. I suggested he also is suspected of colluding with Benedict Arnold in the 18th century, and one of them said “That’s probably next…”
At least some people are beginning to catch on
Wasn’t the suspect described as Hispanic? There aren’t any Hispanic Trump supporters according to polls so I cry foul.
😆
Yes, all the witnesses describe the suspect as Hispanic.
That’s the chink in the armor of the blame Trump hysteria.
Funny how when a killer yells Allah Akbar we’re told not to jump to conclusions as to motive but these MoFos went right to “BLAME TRUMP!!”
Here’s the guy they’re looking for. Looks more like a Muslim than a Trump 😉
The artist had to go to a lot of effort to draw THAT nose. Looks Arabic to me.
First thing I noticed too. My dd’s hispanic relatives have much wider nostrils and less “hook”.
Yeah, I’m unaware of any ethnicity other than Arab which has that narrow hooked nose.
Oh yeah! that guy totally looks like a typical Trump supporter.
FOX just had coverage of the Alderman calling for more violence. WTF is going on around here??? Can law enforcement NOT arrest an elected official for refusing to obey the law and inciting public danger??? or is this all part of the “Summer of Rage” to attempt martial law to keep Okie-Dokey in the WH?!
It was a gun with 23 rounds, per a report I heard on the news this morning.
I’d bet that if he killed 2 or 3 LEOs, these thugs would still call the shooting by MPD, “brutality”.
This morning, there was a report of a sniper on a rooftop in one of the south side neighborhoods. When the CPD went up to the roof, they found 2 bullet-proof vests and a black hood, along with a stand for the gun. (And it looked like a rifle was in the stand. But that wasn’t said. It was what I thought I saw.)
WaPo article on the RedState Gathering. What a bunch of Debbie Downers, I missed nothing. Tried following #RSG16 on twitter, just a bunch of Beck fans. Ugh.
Perfect! 😀
That’s my favorite song in the movie. Cracks me up every time.
😀
I hope they all come down with food poisoning.
From your lips…
Shorter RSG16: grubby peasants have taken the party from us. We need Trump to lose so we can take it back again. Then we can have a party with only us, free of all the peasants.
🙂
Or as the guy in Germany said recently: the problem isn’t the elites. The problem is the people.
Hysterical, delusional losers cry on each other’s shoulders.
I noticed WaPo was able to find the one lone Trump supporter who attended 🙂
Will your show be archived?
Yes it will. I would also like you to consider being a guest host in the future when the future of public education is a topic. You’ve had a lot to say about that, and have shown insight that I think would be valuable and informative to many people who are otherwise under informed on the possibilities. (begging you to say yes…)
The link to the archived podcast is

Thanks, I just got home from volunteering. Although I guess I could have called in and sent OBOTHILLBOT heads spinning but I was having enough trouble with those same idiots giving out personal information on our adoption counselors, bringing cats to show that had not be cleared for adoption by out vet , and pushing applications on people as if we were having a fire sale (we do not push – all foster all volunteer – no need to try and move cats ASAP as once they are in our system they have a foster home until placed).
Could use a couple of your kitties for about a year. Recent smokey conditions from the forest fire next door have been pushing field mice (and rats) into our garage. Our real tuff guard dog just sniffs at ’em and leaves ’em alone.
Doing my part to spread The Goos Word 🙂 (see what I did there?) Thanks Geoff !
What’s sauce for the goos is sauce for th gande.
Thanks Denise! ❤ ❤ ❤
All the networks should be covering this. Stop the damned Trump bashing and let the people see what’s really going on!
Peaceful protesting is allowed.
Rioting and burning, Blocking roads is a crime. 👿
Please pray for Donald Trump. If you’re not a praying person, say one anyway. It’s worth a try.
NOW is something I’ll be throwing out there today as well. I commented on it months ago, when identifying NeverTrumpers as Bush Republicans. GHWB resurrected Woodrow Wilson/Winston Churchill’s idea when he took office. Ironic that it is still considered a “conspiracy theory” despite these facts:
SHIT! – HATE autocorrect! *NWO* not NOW. Damn….
If you have (edit) following the date on your entry, click on it to correct your auto correct “corrections” . I hate auto correct. It reminds me of #NeverTrump and HRC people who think they know better than everyone else. Grrrrrrr
Dora,
Who is Michael Delauzon? I see his tweets, but know nothing about him.
I googled him and got his Twitter account which has nothing to identify or describe him.
All I know about him is that he’s a member of the NRA and a Trump supporter. His name is often included among the retweets, which is where I found it. He sometimes has valuable information.
love this ❤
Stole it and posted to my FB page. 😀
Anthony I’m delighted you have started a new BTR radio show for the crew here. I attended and supported your old show, and also the one Lola had a few months back. I’ve been hoping some kind of show would get scheduled soon. And now you have Angie, my fave kickass ranter? And DT too? Pure bliss!
It figures this show I’ve been waiting and waiting for is scheduled for this afternoon, the only day in weeks I have to be somewhere. Our eldest daughter-in-law and her sisters are hosting a baby shower for our (my hubby’s) eldest grandson & fiance for our FIRST great-grandchild, due in Nov. My hubs is so tickled he decided to come along and take me shopping for gifts a couple of days ago, how precious is that.
It starts at 1pm plus a half hour drive back home, I’m sure I’ll miss the show. But I’ll listen to the podcast when I get back. I’ll miss the interaction in the chatroom though, which is always fun. I’ll gladly call in on your next show. Best Election Evah! I can’t stop laughing after having lost my sense of humor for the past 7 years…
I’m delighted to hear this, Shez! Although I’m not sure about doing a weekly broadcast, I’m looking forward to kicking it off today. It has to be compatible with my and Angie’s schedules, as well as the schedules of guest co-hosts.
At this juncture, my idea is to treat it like a circuit party, and give a few days to a week’s notice on when the next show will be. It could be on a weekday evening, or a weekend day. Maybe a couple of times a month, or weekly, or maybe even a couple times a week, all at different times and on different days. Who knows? Its all up in the air, and frequency will be determined by both live attendance as well as archived listens.
I totally LOVE our panel, and glad to hear your feedback about us! Should we re-name it to “Loose Cannons-R-Us”? 😀
Also – Congratulations on the (coming) new addition!
something good happened in Baltimore last night.

She’s “Obama’s Brain” as Karl Rove was to Dubbya. Vile, slithering POS.

Police seemed woefully unprepared for the riots last night despite twitter fury raging all afternoon. Sounds like Baltimore when ValJar pretty much told their mayor to tell the police to stand down ? Nobama involved then either. Why Hillary’s getting the full blame for Benghazi and we still don’t know where Obama was that night.
we still don’t know where Obama was that night.
For some reason, I thought he was resting up for a fundraiser in Las Vegas the next day and just went back to bed after they told him about the attack. Am I misremembering that?
What I heard was “he was in the White House”.

Milwaukee burns: Four buildings and a police car are set on fire as violent protests erupt after cops shoot and kill armed man during chase
The Milwaukee County sheriff is asking for help from the National Guard after violence broke out in Milwaukee in response to a police shooting.
Sheriff David Clarke said Sunday that a repeat of the previous night’s violence on the city’s north side cannot be allowed.
He says he has consulted with Governor Scott Walker.

They should invite the Seattle riot bike police over. You should have seen those guys harass the Anarchists from Oregon on May Day! It was great TV. They chased them around for hours until they collapsed. Of course it was about 75 degrees out and that is enough to cause heat stroke in people from Seattle and Portland especially if they are wearing black.
That was fun! 😊
I know! I don’t think it is really clear from that clip but what the bike cops did was herd the trouble makers around at a pace that was too fast for a man on foot, the women dropped out early on and they herded the guys to the Costco parking lot after running them around for a few hours. Obviously the punks aren’t in very good shape so they ended up stripping down to their boxers so they wouldn’t be wearing black and sitting on the curb dehydrated and exhausted and sick looking. Then two cops would break off and stand there staring at the punks.
Pussies!
Heh… thanks.
What taw said. I smiled nearly all the way through. I guess I’m a sadist at heart.
(Given the right circumstances.) 😊
Hey y’all. About to go into our second hour!
Glad I stopped by, informative and interesting conversation…and fun.
It was a real treat to hear your voice and our perspective. I really enjoyed it!
It was great talking to you!
Thanks, Cisco! I really appreciate your call – and hearing your voice was great!
I got back earlier than expected so I tuned in for the last several minutes. It sounded like a lively discussion was going on. Sadly, the show ended soon after I tuned in.
Congratulations to all!!
a very good show. hope you will have many more of them. I enjoyed listening
SHV (commenting below) wants you to be a regular caller! A star is born 🙂
Thanks for calling in – you are a hoot, and I look forward to next time

Fun show. Thanks for the invite.
You’re coming back. Like it or not!
Totally agree. He was great! Him & Angie both.
Awesome hearing your voice, Dandy
🙂
That really was excellent. it flowed well, very spontaneous, and the time flew by.
Thanks!
Thanks! Still worried about having to watch your language? 😀 😀 😀
Imagine the proverbial curmudgeonly old uncle retired from the Navy. Imagine him after having drank a pot of coffee and talking about the religion of peace building a muslim church down the street, or the need to recognize his white privelege. That’d be about what I’d sound like.
Sorry I missed most of the show. Unexpected company. Did catch the closing the remarks.
Thanks to Angie, Lola and Dandy for making that show so much fun! If I’m to believe the comments in chat, we kinda killed it 😀
I hope so.
It was fun.
I missed the first 30 minutes. I had sound when you started (new desktop, Win10, ugh), then it disappeared. Could not get sound on my ipad, but finally did on my iphone! Could not see live chat on those two, but could see it on desktop! but, could not sign on to chat. Oh well, hope I can work it all out for the next one! You guys were great, thanks for doing that. Since I heard your voices, I will now read your comments in your voice 😉.
You can listen to the archived version to get the first 30 minutes. Lola dropped an F-bomb immediately lol
Yes, doing that now! Thanks.
Can I listen to the whole thing now?
Yes!
Hi Anthony, I went back to listen to the archived show and had to leave after the first 30+ minutes. When I returned to the site, I couldn’t resume where I left off. Is there a trick to this? I thought that first half hour was fun, but I want to hear the remaining show without having to repeat. Is there a trick to do this? Or do I have to listen to everything at once?
P.s. I loved the nearly hour (beginning and end segments) that I heard.
Yes. Once the page loads and the broadcast starts, you can pause (at the top of the page) and let the podcast load. Then just click about where you think you’d like to be in the broadcast (like the red line at the bottom of a video feed) and pick up from there.
Hope that helped!
I’ll try that and see. I’m think I failed to hit pause before I left the page.
Thanks so much.
And thank you for doing the show. It was terrific – at least what I heard . . . 😉
ARCHIVED VERSION IS AVAILABLE FOR LISTENING NOW FOR ANYONE WHO MISSED THE LIVE SHOW!
Thanks again to everyone! ❤
Just started the “replay” and having Helenk3 on is terrific, hopefully she will be a regular on future shows.
thank you.
Lola Angie Dandy and Anthony 💜💜💜💜!!!
That was fun, and you all have great radio voices! I’ve been too busy to comment these days, but I was able to prepare dinner while listening. Can’t wait til next time. Maybe I’ll be brave and even call in!
Do it! Glad you enjoyed it! We all had a blast!
Someone just messaged me and asked why I picked such a weird looking avatar for the show. I let it go back and forth for a little while before telling them its an actual pic of me that I “cartoon-ized” 😀
😀 The show was great, and I enjoyed hearing each commenter’s voice.
Been listening while doing some computer work – but it has cut off a couple times with the storms so its taking a while. Everyone sounds great. Yes, Anthony has a wonderful radio voice. It reminds me of radio before it was all bought out by media giants and everyone starting yelling.
I have to say – it is also good to hear people say just how maddening and creepy everything has become. I often feel like I am the lonely petunia in the onion patch surrounded by people who never question their blind allegiance to a single group. It seems so few realize something is off and the consequences are potentially far worse than imagined.
By the way, I liked the gravatar. Not strange at all. Just looked like a photo that had been rendered using visual effects in draw or photo program.
Media STILL calling the rioters, “protesters”
Amazing since the videos show the destruction of buildings.
That’s ridiculous. They are Anarchists!
Hillary has a new LGBT ad out with women kissing and everything. Must be on damage control patrol after Orlando shooter dad showed up at her rally. This is why Obama made sure the Muslim looking people in the crowd were out of camera range back in 2008.
What the LGBT community must remember on Election Day is that Hillary wants to increase the number of muslims into the US by 500% more than Obama.
The people that would toss them off of buildings, unless there’s a rope or knife nearby.
exactly!!! 😡
Go Gary Johnson, right? I do get the libertarian movement, but they suck worse than the DemGOP duopoly. He just supported BLM. Crikesy!
Pandering bitch.
They’d have two men kissing if they didn’t hate all men. 🙂
😀 😀 😀
Maybe I am a prude but I really do not want to see actors doing choreographed fake kissing scenes in a political ad regardless of sexuality or the inability to identify your own gender. This is not a HBO ratings game.
I SO enjoyed that show!! Thank so much to everyone who put it together, and participated. I haven’t laughed like that in a long time! I will try and make every one, they are too good to miss. Makes me long for a Crawdad get together. Can you see us all seated at a long picnic table having crabs and beer? 💜💜💜
Just say when, Swannie 🙂 I just laughed my ass off listening to the playback. We all just winged it, and the time flew by. Thanks again for calling in; you and all the other callers sure helped make it fun!
Just started listening. Anthony, you have such a great voice! You could do voice acting or audio books.
Thanks, VM! Hook me up 😀
Come on down!!! Anthony!!

Interesting article allegedly written by someone within the Trump campaign:
Money quote:

GREAT FUN. Great job by all so glad a listened. A little hard to hear.
I have to get a better Microphone — mine had problems cutting out on me. ;-(
Its cause you were cheating :-)! Seriously, I got a Logitech c920. Any headset approved for Skype will give you excellent sound quality
actually it was the volume. I tried on kindle and laptop with it all the way up. Fine with headset but I needed to listen for phone. Its probably blog.i
I teach online, and when I’m in real time with students, I use a wireless headset with a mic. It means I can stir the pot on the stove while I’m listening and talking.
great multitasking. 😀
Gave you the wrong specs – my headset is Plantronics Audio 665. The Logitech c920 is my external camera.
BlogTalk Radio says that a wired headset is preferred to bluetooth (if you can stand being tethered, I guess), because their interface could easily drop a bluetooth connection, and that would be the end of your broadcast.
Bluetooth is great if you’re multitasking, but stirring the pot on the stove can be easily heard by your listeners. Yesterday’s broadcast featured fast ‘n furious typing and other household noises that were a bit distracting to me at times while speaking on the air, but magnified enormously on playback.
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/08/tea-party-pacs-ideas-death-214164
this is a must read.
who killed the tea party
It begs the question, are there ANY honest and trustworthy people in politics?
There’s a lot of merit to that article, although I do think it implies that the Federal government was right when the IRS blocked the creation of Tea Party groups. The advantage with Trump is that he only wants donations to his campaign and the RNC.
Force a Christian to bake a cake, but assault Trump supporters and refuse service in a restaurant because of Trump hats?????????

So, out of nowhere, this NeverTrump starts trolling me on twitter. Look at the stupid logic of these morons. I’m starting with my tweet, that he trolled (warning, bad language):
https://twitter.com/TheAngieNC2/status/76500689977154433
I’m in moderation — too many links, I think.
So Nate Silver is once again predicting DOOM for Trump & actually trolled him with this tweet:
I decided to remind him of his track record on Trump:

Listening to the podcast this morning and I’m really enjoying it. Thank you so much for doing this! I look forward to your next show.
Thank you!
https://sharylattkisson.com/clinton-lead-over-trump-shrinks-to-margin-of-error-bloomberg-poll/
But this notable trend isn’t reflected in the Bloomberg write-up here. Instead, the reporter chose to use the poll numbers that look better for Clinton: ones that added in “leaners.” What are leaners? Respondents who were first asked who they’d vote for, then answered they didn’t plan to vote or didn’t know who they’d vote for, and then were pressed to pick a candidate they were leaning toward, anyway. This is how Bloomberg got to the 6-point spread cited in its headline…double the actual spread of 3%.
Hello? Testing. One, Two, Three, Four.
I’m in the dungeon too.
I don’t see anyone in the dungeon
Musta escaped. I sent em a cake with a nail file in it. nnnn 😆
LOL
I can handle “Trump is a blowhard”. “Trump is too unpredictable.” “Trump shoots his mouth off too much to be president.” I can even agree with some of that. I’m just sick of the stupidity that Trump is the second coming of Hitler. The guy is a free market capitalist. He opened the doors to blacks and Hispanics in Palm Beach when everyone else shunned them. His grandchildren are Orthodox Jews. His ideas about vetting Muslims before we let them move here is far less radical than what FDR, the great Democratic destroyer of Hitler’s empire, did to the Japanese. When Obama attracted yuuuuge crowds, he was the Light Bringer. Mom said my biggest flaw is I don’t “suffer fools”. I don’t see it as a flaw.
I don’t either. 😉
😀
Next she will be saying, ‘What Trump said’ 😆
Perhaps she could find some of his old Macy’s line on ebay to complete the transition..
Even with my aids, I have a problem hearing.

Some people believe that George Schwartz – AKA Soros – escaped from the Nazis. He didn’t escape. He was actually one of them.
