NEWFLASH: JAMES IS DEAD - NOW OFFICIAL AST RECRUITMENT THREAD

[Forrest]

And with that the ASTization of the FOT is complete, the death knell has been rung.
 

TVD is James

I swear to you I'm not!  Ramsey, help me out here.

See?  Separate people.  (James on left)

Nice birdhouse, twerps.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Yeah, that multiple personality bit was pretty impressive.

In all seriousness, though, some sincere, friendly advice, James?  If you're trying to develop a radio or comedy persona of some kind, trying to imitate Tom and Jon's schtick, or (inexplicably) one of the handful of truly loony Best Show callers, is probably not the way to go.  Trust me on this.  Because - assuming that this is the case, and you are not suffering from actual mental illness - someday you will either succeed at this persona or give the idea  up, and you will look back at this misadventure and feel the kind of humiliation that crushes your soul just a little bit.  This feeling will never go away.

[Poughkeepsie]

It was never really anything I set out to do, just sort of happened. The podcast/site thing was a swan song.

All the same good advice.

James was a failed experiment that should have never come to fruition.

I'm just going to go back to listening.

maybe a little impersonating tom in the chat though

leave the bits to the pros

leave the bits to the pros

Or develop your own bits.   Let's not forget, the Kid has been honing his game for the better part of a decade.

We actually did one.  I'm not sure if Poughkeepsie will forgive me putting this up, but:

ugh, I'm already regretting putting that link up.  Just look at the purdy layout.  Don't listen to the friggin things.  And if you do, feel free to flame us.  We deserve it

Did I miss something? Was James from AST?

No offense, TVD, but the key word in that sentence was "develop."  Doing two podcasts isn't the same thing as doing a broadcast radio show for something like 8 years.  Believe me, I've written some truly embarrassing crap, but thankfully none of it ever made it over any kind of airwaves.

it's all we could stand to do.

I can't say for sure, Swiss, but my guess would be yes. It's a great place to learn how to be both unfunny and a dick.





(They do put out some decent records, though. I'll give them that.)

[Miss]

It's a little off putting that some of you think that because someone is obnoxious or unfunny or a dick, they automatically have to be from AST. There are quite a few great FOT's that post on AST as well, and while we know you're not directly talking to us, it still gets old. I know we've all had this conversation before, but how much more do we have to prove ourselves? A troll is a troll, regardless of where they came from first. We don't want trolls on AST either.

I really love both sites, and a lot of people from both sites, and it just sucks to feel like you guys may consider all of us inconsiderate assholes. I'm not trying to cause drama by any means - that's the last thing I want.

 That sir, was funny.

 Here's the thing I don't get about the AST members* who post here: The fact that isn't you that some of us don't like about that board. It's the raging douchenozzles (who in all fairness seem ubiquitous in online forums) over there who probably bother you as well (they are the reason I only lurk there on occasion). I can't think of an AST member who I've had any issue with on this board, unless James'd came from there. So really, it isn't you.

 One love.


















*I called you members.

stan, you lurk over there to read the negative parts of the board? just to see the trolls and few jerky people? seeking out the negative aspects of AST?

if that's the case, awesome.

 I wish I was that creepy, but no. There's loads of great information on AST, but if I posted there I would just end up endlessly typing in anger. I choose to not do so.
