I'm a bit surprised that there has been no mention of it (that I know of) from any fellow pirates before now.
For those of you who may have missed it, at the beginning of the show last Sunday, a caller asked Art if he was going to be continuing with the "screened call format" now that he's back in the states. Art's reply was:
"Ummm... I think so... you know, I actually thought about it and I could take unscreened calls, as a matter of fact, the way it's set up now. That didn't occur to me for awhile, but uh... so I might do it... I might do it".
It was kind of confusing because at the beginning he said he thought the screening would continue, but it seemed to me that when he said he might do it at the end of his response, he meant he might go back to unscreened calls. Maybe I got the wrong impression. I would like to know what some of you that heard it think he meant, please!
Then the caller asked, "Is there an advantage to the screened calls and the unscreened calls?"
Art's responded with:
"Ohhh... I don't know. I wonder about that myself. Your odds of getting through are pretty much equal whether its screened or whether its unscreened... uh, either way, I don't know that it makes a gigantic difference."
I don't think the caller meant what the odds of getting through are, when he asked the question, but again, that's just my opinion and I could be wrong. All in all, it sure sounded to me, like Art isn't very enthusiastic about the idea of going back to unscreened calls... a complete turn around from the way he's always felt about it before!
What do you think?
