Lurk, positive the announcers were Ustream folks. Seamonkey it should be and not sure why it was marked private. Will let you know if I find out anything.

My ex always parked his Harley in the living room. Right inside the front door, lol.

Um, guess I didn't realize indoor living room Harley parking was an, um, thing LOL. Live and learn, who am I to judge. I found it hysterical that Phil did it. But I do notice you said "ex" Frog. :-)

Yankee, whoever those 2 were, they need IMHO to be doing something other than being in front of cameras. Given the number of trained pro's on staff, hope Discovery uses their own people in the future. But since they were kind enough to broadcast it, I won't complain too much. But I did mute those 2 almost the entire time they were on and just turned on the sound for the Memorial, and the panels, which were awesome. I hope those of you that missed it get to see them!

One of the most interesting things that was mentioned a few times was how grateful Phil was for mail, and how often he would just pick up the phone and call those that wrote him (ok who here wishes they wrote...raises hand!!. And I don't do fan mail EVER!)

I think I figured out why so many adore this show, including myself. It's one of the few reality shows with REAL PEOPLE. And we see their flaws and their good sides...but none have agents, and none are wannabee's. Wish TV producers would take note!

I come bearing presents. While it's not the full video, here is a link to a 10 min highlight clip of Capt Phil's memorial;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zraFMStrA-U

And no clue how they know, or if it's accurate, but folks in the YouTube comments are saying with certainty that Discovery is going to air it as a special in July. But if so, that might make sense why they pulled it from the web site. Well least here is a small piece of it!

I'd advise going to watch it ASAP, because if they really do plan to air it, they might pull this clip. Although I personally think it would only make everyone want to see it more!

There will be a Captain Phil memorial show this summer. However, it will not be the entire memorial uncut, so it has nothing to do with the UStream. The show's producers were there filming for themselves.

Hey Yank, if you don't mind my asking, how do you know this stuff? Do you have anything to do with the show? (If so would LOVE to hear stories etc).

And if that's the case, I hope they put the full memorial back up for folks that missed it...it was wonderful, as was both panels, esp the Capt one. Nice to hear there will be a Capt Phil special. He was so special so he deserves one!

Lurk, my job does allow me to know a lot about a lot of the shows discussed here, but if I want to keep my job, I can only share info that's public. BUT... happy to do so when it can provide clarity or answer questions that people may have! (BTW, the back of my head is in that KOMO video very very briefly LOL)

Ah got it Yank...and of course will respect it. Will look forward to what you can tell us when you can tell us. I'm sure it's frustrating to know more than you can say sometimes (so if you slip don't worry about it hehehe). And nice briefly seeing your hair too, not that I'd know which head is yours LOL

BTW one thing I meant to mention about that link I posted for the Memorial highlights. It showed stuff that wasn't on the Memorial, so even if you caught it, it's worth seeing IMHO.

(And Lurk, you're right on the frustrating part. Sometimes when there's a lot of speculation going on in a thread and I know the backstory, it's really really really hard to just stay out of it since I consider folks here my friends. But I love being able to pay my bills even more. LOL)

FYI the Ustream videos will go back up - they're being edited to take out the dead space.

Anyone see yesterday's show? I am speechless at how they did the "Jake switch." I don't think I could have done that. Well, that was just nuts! And the conversation between Captains Keith and Jonathan. Interesting! All in all, it was a good episode!

PS - I just love to hear Mike Rowe talk!

It was so scary watching them switch the two Jakes. I also thought the fighting between Jake and Josh and Keith and Jonathon was sad. I really don't believe Keith tried to poach Jonathon's crew member. Keith looked shocked when he said that. I think it was probably like what Phil said to Jake A. "You could work for me anytime" I think that crew member was and is a trouble maker. I am sure people will disagree with me. lol

Pashine, I'm with you on the Mike Rowe love. I'm from the same general area he's from, and sure wished I had run into him years ago! I love this guy and his voice is fantastic. I first saw him on QVC many years ago, it was about 200am, and he had put a piece of wire through an ice cube on a neck form on the desk, when the camera came on him with the display, he cracked a half smile and said "Maybe they'll buy anything" !! or something like that, I couldn't believe it. I don't know if he was fired or left on his own, but he never took the job very seriously. I loved his humor and everything about him. He sings beautifully. Very likeable guy.

lol Jgalt! I would have loved to see that! I learned that he and I are the same age - in fact, I am only 4 days older than him! What a hunk!

Whether or not Keith tried to poach someone from the Time Bandit, it is always sad when people can't put differences aside and just get along. Gut then, I don't know the whole store or their history, only what they choose to show on TV.

I missed part of the show this week (and many of the earlier episodes too, bad blue! lol) so would someone tell me why Russell was fired from the Wizard and the Kodiak? I'm one of those that always liked Russell, and wonder what the problems between him and his captains are.

I didn't watch last night's show, but Russell worked for Jonathan/Time Bandit for years before they let him go. As I remember it, Keith poached him shortly before the end of last season. It seemed to me that Jonathan and Andy always thought the joke would be on whoever hired Russell - that it was no big loss for the Time Bandit.

Jonathan fired Russ and Keith hired him. I don't think they have ever said why he isn't on the Wizard anymore. The Kodiak let him go because they didn't catch enough crab and had to let a crew member go. Last hired first fired.

Jonathan called Keith and asked him if he had any vacancies on the Wizard after he let Russell go, so Keith didn't poach Russell.

But I do think the joke was whomever ended up with him...Russell didn't prove himself to be a really hard worker, but he sured loved the camera!

Yeah, poaching was the wrong word (I knew that Jonathan had let Russell go - but the word "poaching" seemed cool at the time of posting). But the joke was on Keith for hiring Russell.

But I fine it pretty funny that they got a little pissy when they found out that he got picked up by Kodiak. You fired him, get over it. What do you want to do, ruin his career? Anyway, the captain of the Kodiak didn't have a problem with Russell at all, it seemed like he was doing pretty good.

I thought that Jonathon's son was wanting to come back to work and they had to let someone go from the Time Bandit. What seemed to have not bothered them for years was suddenly good excuses to let him go without the guilt.

I don't think Keith was head hunting at all. And I agree with Lazylu with the other guy stirring the pot going to Jon and Andy with that.

I think Jonathan has become a character. The press has always labeled him as the "Rouge" "bandit" "bad boy". I have felt him changing and hamming for the cameras for a while now. The confrontation with Keith was stupid and nothing but him trying to be a tough guy. And what was up with him and the gun last night?

He was my favorite, but now I don't even like to watch him anymore.
