In all seriousness if Martins actions led to the serious harm of a dog that is discusting. It would bring me joy to smack the stupid out if a person like that if given the chance. No excusses, that is unacceptable.

I'd like to hear from MArty's good pal *ahem* "donkdowndundied"
Heard your call to the show, Tyde. Glad you did and welcome back.
I just gotta get this off my chest.
I have observed in other posts of mine what I perceive to be a dismissive tone from Druff when he picks up forum callers. Perhaps a sigh or a change in tone that is never confused with pleasure or anticipation. I get that Druff views the radio show and forum as two different and distinct entities. He has spoken of his disinterest in discussing forum threads on the show and why. Two different audiences in his opinion.
I cannot otherwise explain his reaction to callers. It may be borne of years of unpleasant experiences on other shows. Maybe it's just a habit now. A nervous defensive twitch.
Personally, I find the calls from forum members interesting. You read all their stuff but hearing them gives you another read too. Drexel's post about Mumbles makes me think of him as an example. The forum members invest some energy into the community that the passive radio show listeners do not. They deserve a respect that is earned.
Anyway, Tyde calls in. If your attention meter wasn't pegged far right then you're just listening to the show for advice on what to do with A8 suited in middle position or how to get a free buffet.
I am personally thanking my god that Drexel is there. He is excellent at free form unscripted conversation. Where will this lead, I wonder.
Tyde is in a mellow and reflective mood. When Tyde chooses to he can spin some HOF stories and anecdotes. He drops a few references to old school meet ups. Fuck, I think, we are in the zone. He's obviously fresh off a new adventure. This could be hours and hours of gold.
Was there an attempt to make this call brief? An attempt to keep that Chinese wall between forum and radio intact? There wasn't a lot of effort by the hosts to suss out the gold. I kinda felt even Drexel let me down but gave him a pass cause he wasn't on top of his game with his head-ache and all. Didn't feel up to herding Druff in the right direction.
Druff still hadn't covered Amanda Leatherman yet. There was important work yet to be done.
I swear there is a memoir in you kid. Someday, huh? The epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter alone would be pure gold.
Until that day, I look forward to more from you. Thanks.
I don't think I am out of line with my criticism and don't see this as a purely reflexive Druff troll post as sometimes occurs.
My impression is that it with certain forum members he has repeatedly bad experinces with. You can draw yout own conclusions who those forum members are. Because I don't recall having that experience when callng in. And he don't recall him doing so when Adamantium (the guy from Norway?) called in.
Oh, I am quite certain you are wrong about your call. On a percentage basis I know I am way ahead here. Try to remember the date of your first call.
You or I can find the spot in show when your call comes in. The caller is gonna be the last guy to pick up Druffs initial reaction. So I can't fault your memory here.
Adamantium ain't just a random forum caller any more than Drexel. Poor example. His international id alone will trigger an erection.
Also it behooves us to consider at this juncture that Adamantium is a made nigga.
Didn't you make 100 posts or so emphasizing how fucking great the food was in Mexico? Out of literally dozens of excuses to leave mexico you picked the fucking food? Ok, mexicans hate americans. Martin is an american. Get the fuck out of mexico. End of story.
There's a reason you can rent an oceanfront apartment where you were for a few hundo a month. How many gunshots on average a night?
You don't recall starting an entire thread?

Not trolling Todd here at all, but he stated clearly upon launching PFA that the only things he objected to were posting personal information and/or involving family members
That is clearly a crock of shit, because he has taken action (IE: banning certain members like fluffer and myself) just because we were sticking it to him hard.
Again, not a troll post, but Todd has no problem taking action against posters who just happen to rub him the wrong way, or rather back him into a corner.
With that said, thanks for taking my call last night.
I couldn't have put it better, i agree with everything you said. I never had contact with marty, but every time he post im there to read it just because i know it's going to be a great read. It's somewhat Hunter S Thompson ish, and i mean that in a good way.
I also think druff has a awkward approach to interviewing people, it's cringe worthy at times. But i still like the show overall, i will continue to listen, especially when the hit machine calls in.
wordpress is god and mulva was right....say it...go on.
Nailed me
But in my defense of my food remarks, it was more of a general statement than anything.
Yes there are good places to eat, but I missed my franchise food.
La bufadora has some amazing little spots to eat....as does rosarito for that matter.
But IN GENERAL... The food in Mexico sucks. I am still trying to put on the weight I lost over the last 18 months because I'm tortilla'd out.
Like I just said....
Yes there are some great places to eat in Baja...Puerto nuevo for example which is known as 'lobster village' and a haven for tourists who have no problem dropping 35 bucks for dinner
What I was trying to say is that in general the food fucking sucks... There are no franchises. Even the McDonald's and burger King and Carl's Jr are using Mexican quality beef...which is straight up nasty.
I was at a FoodCo last night getting some groceries, and just amazed how vastly superior the quality was in comparison to the low level crap being pawned off on the Mexican populus.
This also rings true for the merchandise at the (ahem) 'Walmart' stores in Rosarito and Ensenada...complete joke.
In closing.....pay Vegas the 500 you owe him you bet welching fat fuck
What happened to the dog and jeep?
Only one I think
For my expired registration and not registering my Grand Cherokee within 90 days in the state of Nevada
I guess my criminal record isn't so squeaky clean after all
Better alert the department of homeland security
Now that your back, just to let you know, someone offered to stake you and Druff as a team in one of the wsop of events. Would be great content.
I could see this being true for sure. Probably a few amazingly good restaurants, but overall lack of diversity and poorer quality groceries. So at first the newness of the good places leaves a great impression. But over time you get burned out on the good places and are missing the variety of options.
The food is great in Puerto Vallarta.
It's always a shithole on Tyde's way out.
Rinse and repeat.
I have recently thought about calling in.
I am pretty much what you see in the forums. Kinda dry, little bit of an edge or prick IRL. Not the sort that would bring the hits as the focus of a call. I get razzed by kids for speaking the Kings English. If I hear Walter White again there is gonna be trouble.
Prolly more suited to a guest host. React and riff during latter half of show. Thought about reaching out to Drexel for an audition.
Sending my wife out to Vegas Friday to check up on kids. I just wasn't feeling it and decided to pass. However a bucket list item is to one day break bread with Drexel. He has a curious mind and can roll from one topic to the next in a fluid way. His dinners with guests must last hours.
He doesn't run so well with guests in Vegas so I gotta cook up some kind of bond I can post.
This or similar might do it.
