update: evidently, Oliver Willis emailed Bill with a new number a couple hours before the show. But Bill was getting ready for the broadcast and didn’t get ODub’s email until AFTER the show ended.
Oliver didn’t cc: the email to me, nor did he try to call Rightalk.
So there you have it. I phoned Oliver (he clearly doesn’t much like me) to make sure we were both on the same page about what happened, and I gave him an open invitation to appear any time he’d like.

update 2: Just wanted to note that the website for Rob the Hobbit guy is http://www.ourhobbithole.com.
OUR. Not “R.” Or “Are.”
It’s an interesting site, particularly for you Tolkien fiends. Check it out when you get a chance if haven’t done so already.
Just for shits and giggles, I went over to Ollie’s site, and unless I missed it, he has made no mention of any scheduled appearance on your show.
It’s like he doesn’t want his readers to listen or something. Could that be it? Every other blogger I read posts about media appearances.
Maybe you should ask him about it.
Just wanted to get the e-mail reply goin. Got nuthin to say. Yet.
Ollie:
During high school, at what point did you give up de-hitching the wedgies you undoubtably got on an hourly basis and simply leave said fabric in place?
Bonus Round:
“Like kryptonite to stupid”; inasmuch as kryptonite only had an effect on Superman, are you saying that your blog is as ineffective as a made-up element or that you snoozed through the part in english classes where they discussed similes, metaphors, puns, etc? Or was it an error in punctuation and understanding homophones: “Like krytonite, too stupid”?
What the hell is up with that Yanni crap they’re playing?
Spam word “least” as in, “At least upgrade to Kenny G or something!”
Jeff’s a very new age type of guy?
I wonder how long they can keep this up?
Whoa with the scary voices. I”m so not jazzed. Lay off the expresso beans.
Can’t call in, but I’ll throw this out for general comment:
Much has been made of the support for the Iraq war from formerly communist countries. But another comparison stands out: the march of 1 million people in Lebannon (out of a population of only 3.5 million) versus the march in Spain after 3/11/2004. One was a march to demand independence, one was a march signalling their desire for servitude.
Okay, this is hilarious. You guys are nuts.
Live Blogging –
Okay —- it’s punched up.
Unfortunately, the timbre of their voices is nearly identical.
It’s like Lewis and Lewis instead of Martin and Lewis … if Lewis were semi-retarded.
Too loud? I was diggin’ it…
Charles is figuring a way out as they speak.
Houston, we have a problem ….
….. clipping
… two minutes in
…. vamping until ready
… maybe
Thank god that is over
BAM! Kewl.
Okay, Charles sounds like Martin.
So we’ve got Martin-Martin and Dean
that last point made no sense.
Sorry. Lewis-Lewis-Martin

Doctrinal Liberalism
Whoa there, we’re responsible for our own comments? That’s CRAZY talk.
Emeril’s people called. They want their “BAM” back.
Jeff (or Bill) asks Brian William’s like questions — lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg set up
to his credit, he’s staying quiet during the answer
The two need to identify themselves before question- or one needs to have his nuts punched prior to going on air
They’re commenting about the show over at LGF. I don’t think many of them understand humor
Yeah, it’s hard to tell our hosts apart.
Charles Johnson sounds like just like Eichmann
Jimmy Eichmann, a guy that lives down the street
The Ell Gee Effies are a very serious lot.
China hellooooo
Sorry, that made no sense.
Oh oh, the feed’s rebuffering a lot..
DId anyone else lose the signal just now?
Lost it 3 times so far.
Seems stable again.
Yeah, I did
I had to kill and restart my media player to get reconnected…
yes, a couple of times
Uh Yup, humor impaired. Didn’t want to stay there to long. Might get the smile sucked of my face.
Yeah – the feed dropped a while back
this part of the interview seems to have hit its stride.
Good flow at the moment.
I’m guessing Oliver will have some effect on that
Tommy Davidson from In Living Color just called and he wants his “BAM” back too…
“LFG?” He got his own acronym wrong. Bad blogger! Bad!
bad sign – Charles called his site LFG ..
bad sign or cryptic link to secret alternate site
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
LFG was deliberate.
Oog the caveman just sent a smoke signal. He wants his “BAM” back as well.
Commercial Break –
* Panty Liners
* Incontinence Products
sounds about right
I am dying to know what this whole lizard thing is about….
Didn’t BAM! belong to David Allen Grier?
Break 1 : Good so far guys… Liked the intro with the car salesmen voices.. Guest is interesting..
I wonder if the drop outs are because of the traffic. It would be pretty neat if Jeff and Bill had to many live listeners. Well kinda.
One word:
BAM!!
I think the lizard thing is an inside joke based on a lefty putdown that likened Charles’ audience to reptiles. I reserve the right to be terribly wrong, however.
Lizard: Cold-blooded, scaly. Typical Republican.
The lizard thing, and why LFG was deliberate.
I spend my life in the dark, apparently.
Jeff and Bill really need to live blog their own show.
Jeff: “Bill won’t shut up. He stepped on my line”
Bill: “Jeff’s too fucking erudite for this crowd”
Bill: “Blah Blah Blah Blah”
Jeff: “Bite me”
and so forth
Shinobi,
Go to LGF. The lizard thing is defined.
I’ve figured out the LIttle Green Footballs – lizardoid connection!
LGF is a reference to footballs made of leather from lizards.
Fred Flinstone’s kid just called and he wants both of his ”Bam Bams” back…
Inside Baseball / Ace of Spades.
Now if we can get an Allah plug, it’ll be totally insider
That would be sooooo cool to get Allah on the show.
I’m calling in right now…
That would be Barney Rubble’s kid. Fred’s kid is Pebbles.
Thanks guys. Me Smart
Uhhhh, Uhhhhh, Right Wing Sparkle!
RightwingSparkle does NOT speak on my behalf
I thought Jeff’s car voice was teh suX0r

The interviewers sounds kinda lefty to me…
From LGF LOL!!!
Maybe that caller was Allah, considering he was so OUTRAGED.
And here’s Little Green Footballs secrets, REVEALED!
will you callers please work in your comment name when you call.. e.g. Jake (Alpha Baboon) from Seattle..
Thansk.. I’d like to know who I’m hearing…
Thank you, dorkafork. You’re a prince among utensils.
IIRC some crackpot lefty blogger took a run at LGF and repeatedly refered to it as LFG. The lizardoids ran with it an made a joke of it. C&F even joined the fun.
That was weird,
(I was Keith in Louisville, BTW, asking about Google news)
While on hold waiting to talk on the air you can hear the soundbooth conversation during the break. Apparently, our boys gave out the wrong number on air. There was… um.. strong language used.
Still, they’re doing a great job.
I meant Fred’s son in law.. Pebbles and BamBam married in the last spin off of that old show, didnt they?
Turing word: Peace
As in: Peace Out…
I would like to point out that I think the Lizardoids are nutz.
I love that they just talked about weed. I’m going to smoke a bowl in their honor when I get home.
Drugs – they’re bad.
Guitar talk. Best Guitarist of All Time:
The obvious answer is ‘The Guy from Kingston Trio’
There’s some not very nice people over at LGF. I don’t think they smile very much. Know what I mean?
Suuuure you did, A.B.
Bumper, but you have to admit, it was scary…
I behaved sooo well. I really didn’t want to, but I know this is important to Jeff, so I took the high road…
No mentions of strap ons and hard nipples. I restrained myself.
Yeah, we need a cool nick name, we are way more fun than they are. Therefore we must have a cooler nickname.
They aren’t going to get to O-dub. Not enough time.
I wonder if OW crapped out
Sparkle: your question was out of the box and good. But it was obvious that you wanted to ask something less ‘ordinary’.
We could be the L-triptophans.
Or something like that.
Wow!! Time is flyin’.
hahaha ok..ya got me..I screwed up… How could I forget who’s kid was who’s ?
I don’t hate the music all that much this time around–maybe I’m just getting used to it, but the sound quality seems better.
Sexy voice, Sparkle. That was indeed a treat!
Oh boy here we go. “Group Name”. This is gonna be fun to watch. Good call in RWS. That’s why I’m not gonna call in, I have a hard time disconnecting my mouth.
Protein Shakers
Aminos
Second set of commericals –
The theme music is sort of an ‘NFL Films meets Lifetime, Television for Women’ mash-up.
Aminos. There you go.
Preston..lol! Actually I have a cold!!
Oliver must have accidentally sat on his phone.
Didn’t trash Ollie too bad… leaving the door open for the future. Good.
Did OW crap out ? Doesnt matter.. if he did then they’ll eat his lunch in the blogs…
Turing word: length
As in: The spongey length of the 8” Cut Gay Porn Cock of Lies.. (its been awhile since anyones said it)
Aminos… very cool
Though triptophan is probably my favorite protein.
Way to make stuff up, Goldstein. I gave Ardolino the number to contact me at.
Hobbit Holes –
In ‘Merica, we call them Titan Silos.
Maybe, MX missile bases
A.B. : you could forget cuz maybe you have a life or something.
Is it a protein?
PW minion names- how about Protoids??? Aminos????
Underground house construction is far from a new concept..
gail –
While I was on hold I heard the booth call up Oliver’s office. But I was on the air before the call was picked up.
Jeff and Bill were saying things like, “Oliver’s gonna bail on us anyway.”
Apparently, the notion of a toll free number escapes Oliver.
Or Media Matters does not allow outside calls.
Underground Homes are great because they are so energy efficient, that’s why I live in a basement apartment. (Or so I tell myself)
Kadnine/Keith: sounds like you got to see far too many things in your trip ‘behind the curtain’… Beware
