Podcast Call In

November 27, 2007 10:11 AM

Podcast call-in! For the next 48 hours, call [phone] to leave a message for this week's podcast (try to keep it to less than a minute long). We'll pick 5-10 of the best ones, play them on the show and answer any questions.

Was Cortex able to finish the donut?

Cool. What sort of message are we suppose to leave? Questions about the site? Political statements? Random ramblings?
posted by patr1ck at 10:34 AM on November 27, 2007

Yes.

I believe, patr1ck, that we are supposed to sing show tunes.

Usually people call with questions. I guess we're expanding that to "messages" If you've already called in before, we may go with other people's questions first.

Also, jonson? * makes fingers rubbing together gesture *

I think we should all call in singing Jingle Rock Bell.

Okay, okay! I can take a hint.

Should I shout out my userid string before elucidating hallucinatory prophesy, or would that be redundant?

Yes.

And now...a dramatic reading of a real break up letter from a real person.

Prepare for 300 calls of "Why did my post get deleted?"

Dear Admin,

There are too many subsites these days. Please eliminate three.

PS, I am not a crank.

Hey, prostyle, you trying to elbow in on my gig?

Also, is it Ma240;owie or Ma254;owie?

Dear MeFi Podcast,
I never thought this would happen to me...

I don't think there are any digits in his handle, boo_radley.

So, MetaFilter, what are you wearing right now?

I bet you're wearing really tight jeans, aren't you? I knew it. I can just imagine that great big bulge in front getting tighter and tighter. Why don't you take off your pants?

There, that's better.

OHMIGOD, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FISH!?!?!?!

Mister_A: Yeah, those should be a thorn and an eth.

This question is for mathowie: quonsar was your sock puppet, wasn't he? Why'd you kill him off?
posted by anotherpanacea at 2:27 PM on November 27, 2007

Pfft. Y'all are so lazy.

I keep telling you: you call me.
posted by koeselitz at 2:56 PM on November 27, 2007

Yah, first time long time… I have you guys tuned in all day. I love the music, but I’m wondering if you would play some Air Supply every once in a while. Thanks.

Thanks for taking my call.

Hi, wow, I'm excited to get through... um, I noticed you've played some Air Supply lately, could you not do that anymore? I'll hang up and listen. Thanks.

Of all the phones in the world that I would not like to answer, yours is number one, Number One.
posted by Cranberry at 5:05 PM on November 27, 2007

I called and asked a question. I hope it was ok to include some shoutouts in the question.

I want to hear everyone's voices!
That is all.

maryh: some of them are here (mecha wiki link, yes, yours truly is among them and I sing)
posted by jonmc at 6:21 PM on November 27, 2007

Is it just me, or are all the audioblog links on the Mecha Wiki borked?
posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 7:06 PM on November 27, 2007 [1 favorite]

Nope, it's me too.
posted by chrismear at 7:38 PM on November 27, 2007

I mean, they're borked for me too. It's been that way for a while, I believe.
posted by chrismear at 7:38 PM on November 27, 2007

Matt, I'm afraid you're being upstaged by Carson Daly, who returns to his talk show nobody watches next week in spite of the writers' strike and distributed to friends, family and non-writer staffers a voice mail number where they could leave messages with jokes he could use in a 'bit'... The Smoking Gun got it and so it's now up on the Web...

Hey, guys, did you hear that James Brown died?
posted by Eideteker at 8:53 PM on November 27, 2007

Carson Daly signs his emails "great,"? That's kind of interesting, actually.

True fact: cortex signs his emails "greater".
