Announcer: The David Pakman Show at www.DavidPakman.com.
David Pakman: Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show, David Pakman here. Louis is here
wearing what he considers to be a lavender shirt. Big discussion before the show about
the color of Louis's shirt, and it's really just the subject of a lot of controversy at
this point.
Louis Motamedi: I would call it lavender.
David: A lot of stuff to talk about. I hate to admit this, but I guess... I was going
to say it was a dream, but I guess it was a nightmare. Shirely Phelps-Roper, a vision
of Shirley Phelps-Roper appeared in a dream of mine last night, Louis; I woke up in a
cold sweat. It was really weird. I think it's because we've been getting some more Shirley
emails recently, related to the whole Anonymous hacking thing. And I don't know.
Louis: What's with the "South Park" sign?
David: I just... somehow she popped up in a dream, and it was one of these situations...
I think the situation was I was at some kind of a public place and she was there, and I
wasn't sure if she'd recognized me, I didn't know if she was going to be angry or blame
me somehow for the fact that Anonymous hacked her website while she was on the show a couple
of months ago. And it was bizarre. It was... I don't know what... it was a disturbing image.
And I woke up, you know, in a cold sweat, and had to... I don't know, I had to just
try to cry myself back to sleep, I guess. I couldn't... I didn't have much of a choice.
Louis: Sounds terrible.
David: We're going to have a progressive talk radio meetup at Netroots Nation. It's going
to be on Thursday, it's actually a week from today as we go for taping... broadcasting
today's show. This is going to be The David Pakman Show, Best of the Left Podcast, our
friend Jay Tomlinson will be there, as well as Sam Seder from The Majority Report, and
also some possible other guest appearances that we're still lining up. This is going
to be at the newsroom. It's just a five-minute walk from the Netroots Nation main conference
area. 9:00 pm until whenever. 990 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Newsroom
is the name of the place.
If you go onto www.DavidPakman.com or onto our Twitter or Facebook pages, you'll see
the Facebook event, you can RSVP, you can put in there that you would like Louis to
show up with a shaved head, or you don't want Louis to show up at all, whatever it is you're
looking to have happen, the Facebook invite is really the place to do it, is it not, Louis?
Louis: I would say so, yeah. Post on the wall there if you have any suggestions.
David: Exactly. Also, a lot of questions about people... people split about whether they...
question about whether I'm growing some kind of a beard or not. And I'm not really, I mean,
I just... when I went on vacation, I didn't take anything to shave with, and now I've
just gotten into that habit. But this is going to go soon. I'm going to be in New York over
the weekend, I have some TV stuff going on. I think I'm just... it's time to start clean,
don't you think?
Louis: I think so. It kind of looks like you put some glue on your face and rolled around
the floor of a barber shop.
David: Yeah. That is... I was considering doing that to improve the look. That would
be an upgrade to what it is I have going on.
Louis: It's got to go.
David: Also, a lot of people asking if Louis is on Twitter. He isn't currently, but I guess
people fascinated by what goes on in Louis's head, so Louis, you should consider getting
on Twitter, maybe @ProducerLouis, if it's not taken.
Louis: I don't know. I'm not a fan of Twitter.
David: Also, questions about what TV director Natan looks like, because we hear his voice
often on the show, but nobody knows what he looks like. I think we need to keep it that
way.
Louis: Yeah.
David: And then it'll become like a, you know, "Seinfeld" thing where you never see Steinbrenner
from the front or something like that.
David: Maybe we'll have like a... take a picture of the back of Natan's head, and that will
be on TV.
Louis: Yeah, I like that idea.
David: The other thing is we're starting up, this is a super-secret project, Louis, I can't
even tell... Louis is the last person to tell about it, actually, but there is something
going on. We've got a joint special secret project going on with Best of the Left Podcast.
If you're interested in being involved, this is an insiders' thing. I can't even say too
much. But if you want to help out The David Pakman Show and Best of the Left Podcast,
send me an email, david@davidpakman.com, and I'll follow up with some details. And I don't...
I'm not even comfortable going further than that right now, Louis, even with you.
Louis: I don't even know anything about this.
