Paracast Bonked! Oo-er!

Skilled Investigator
Lame-brain presenter, Jesse Randolph of UFOnaut Radio "fame", "bonked" the Paracast this week!

Eight minutes in, here's what he said,

"The Paracast guys, Gene Steinberg and David Benamean (!) - good guys, they seem like they're really interested in the subject - they've been bashing some people pretty heavy that have been on this show - I really think they might need to chill out a little bit. Take a little chill pill, Paracast guys. I think that, y'know, I heard the interview they did with Paola Harris and I don't necessarily know that it was warrented. They hit on her pretty, pretty hard. So just wanted to throw that out there Paracast guys if you're listenin'. Y'know what, we're gonna give you a little bonk tonight (sound of Randolph honking his horn). Maybe you can relax, take it easy on some of these folks, y'know, they're out there tryin' to do good work."


Yeah, Paracast guys. Stop bein' beastly to Greer, Harris, Meier, Romanek....

Mmmm, that chill pill is starting to kick in, Jesse. Critical faculties slipping away. Happy thoughts taking over. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
haha - oh dear

Anyone who consistantly presents unsubstantiated claims as fact either need to provide proof or prepare themselves for some tough quesions.

As for pills, ive got three of em here a red one, a blue one and one which is small triangular and pale blue.....
 
LOL. Sometimes the difference in terminology between UK and US English can lead to some pretty funny outcomes. In the UK if you bonk someone - you have sex with them :eek:.

Hey, maybe Jesse Randolph really, REALLY does like Gene and David then? ::)
 
Paola Harris was one of the worst guests they have ever had. She should be a politician! I have never heard so much convoluted double-speak in my life. She made no sense. Why would you put up a picture that was not related to your topic at all (UFOs in Chicago and her lecture) unless you were deliberately trying to mislead people? Me thinks she likes to travel and chat with people and little else.

This is where it all goes wrong, they aren't doing good work. They are muddying the water... in fact Paola's gone one step further, she took a whopping great dump in the water... and now there's a big floater in it.

I think i'm going to name it Clifford...

It usually means the same thing in the US! Another weird thing he wrote was
"They hit on her pretty, pretty hard"
I confess that I haven't listened to that show, but I am fairly certain Gene and David didn't "hit on" Paola Harris "pretty hard".

For kicks, I tried imagine them hitting on her, and I can kinda hear David doing it but no way can I hear Gene acting like that! :p
 
Well, I thought you might all like to know that I just got done talking with Jesse from UFOnaut Radio, who educated me about their "big picture", which is all about generating maximum commercial potential for their show. He doesn't want to take any sides, he's just presenting the info, and letting the audience make up their own minds. ::)

Great. Just what the subject needs; another neutral UFO show too frightened to hold an opinion in case its "commercial interests" are jeopardised. And all under the guise of letting the audience "make up its own minds".

Maybe that's your new slogan, Gene, David:
The Paracast - At least We've Got the Balls to Tell You What We Think

Hope yer honked Randoplh's horn, David. Hard.
 
ah pills..........

i take viagra and prozac at the same time..........

that way if i dont get one.....i dont give one

:D
 
If these guys chilled it would be one boring show. I prefer the in your face attitude because, damn it, it's about time someone call these frauds out!
 
I agree, it would be one, boring show if they were completely chilled out.

At the same time though.......I mean, I LIKE that they're so blunt and all, but....I don't know.....sometimes the whole tone comes off as so......bitter or something

.....I guess it SHOULD be what with so many crackpots in society and everything....yet.....

Arrrrgh. *sigh*
 
For the record...

David called me out of the blue at work the other day on my cell phone. I'd never spoken to him before. After interrogating me about my show and insulting Los Angeles in general, his cell phone apparently "died" and he never called back...

Arrogance is how this society stops from progressing. Talking the time to listen to folks and process the information is a much better route in my opinion.

As far as being "commercial'. I have made NO money from my show thus far. Can The Paracast say the same???

It's true that I hope to some day, is something wrong with that?

Our show is live , not a podcast which gives all you blog posters and chat room kids a real forum to speak to people like Stan Romanek, etc. If you have a question or comment then feel free to call in every Sunday night at 7pm PST. We don't screen kids! Don't be so anti-social and call in:)

As for the Paracast, we obvious have different philosophies on the way we conduct our respective programs as well as the way we talk to people in general. I respect the right to be different, but I choose to follow in the path of the great Art Bell that gave everyone a voice with grace and let the viewer decide.

I can't speak to David's conversation with you, as I wasn't there.

But let's talk about some of our your comments:

Having been in this field for a long, long time, the hour has long since past where we can give all viewpoints, however illogical, equal weight and simply let the listener decide. Basically, the UFO field has gone nowhere in 60 years, and things must change.

Sorry you don't feel that our community and our show aren't real, but The Paracast is distributed by two methods.

First, it's streamed live over the Internet, which does give us the capability of doing live interviews and even take phone calls, on a limited basis, and it is something that we might consider in the future, if we do more than a single show a week. But we would want to upgrade our network system to more flexibly handle the phone calls — and the equipment to do it right, from such manufacturers as Comrex and others, is rather costly. We'd also have to greatly expand our server capacity to support more simultaneous listeners under these circumstances, and that would increase our hosting and bandwidth expenses by an order of magnitude.

All episodes can also be freely downloaded at the convenience of the listeners, and they can listen when they want, not on any specific schedule. This is really the wave of the future, and you'll notice that a significant portion of even network TV fare is time-shifted via a DVR or downloadable version (such as via Apple iTunes). In addition, we offer an on-demand feed on our site, which is just a click away.

And, no, we aren't making any massive amounts of money here. We do receive donations and payments from advertisers, but, after expenses, there's little to nothing left, except for perhaps a meal at the local fast food joint.

Have a nice life.

Based on what I read on these forums, and listening to our callouts on Jesse's show, I did indeed get in touch with him - to specifically explain why we "raked Paola Harris over the coals." I contrasted our interview style to his, and asked him about the Stan Romanek interview I was listening to on his show (he was not aware of the existence or role of Clay Gordon, the guy who made Stan and the rest of the dupes in this "case" sign secrecy agreements) - I suppose that for some people, asking any kind of questions is the equivalent of "interrogation".

My insults of Los Angeles amounted to me telling Jesse, after I learned he lived in LA, that I always considered it nothing more than a rest stop between San Fran and Tijuana. I feel no differently now than I did a dozen years ago.

And my cordless phone battery did indeed give out, no big mystery. I suppose folks living in Los Angeles all assume that every human on planet Earth owns a cel phone. For the record, I do not.

So Jesse, go ahead and forge a path in the spirit of the "great Art Bell" for all I care - the world needs more ego-inflated, child-abandoning, ridiculously young bride-snatching, hoax-promoting twits, good to see someone is up to the task.
