Just the arthritis in my hands Buddy that makes me a bad typist. I should run everything through a spell checker, but I often get lazy.

Arthritis and laziness aside the Governator Guy works for me. It's very entertaining.

Suggestion, post future episodes at Adgabbers so we can enjoy them here too. We have enough problems getting people to come here on a regular basis, much less remembering to go to www.lexy.com

Thanks for the thumbs up Buddy. I can't post these to other sites unfortunately. This is content I create under contract exclusively for Lexy.com It takes a couple of seconds to join Lexy and follow Governator Guy (or anything you want to follow). Then when something new gets posted you get an auto alert and a one click into Lexy.

Hi J:

Hey, great character you've got there! I could see building a campaign around that guy, Kalifornya and nationally.

How are you going to sell / license him? Do you go to the sales department at radio stations with something like that? Or get some ink in the media trades?

Have you thought about personifying the character with an illustration?

Have you thought about exploring some 15 / 30 & 60 sec takes?

Cordially,

Steve

Steve,

Thanks for taking a listen. I'm kind of amazed with the several thousand people on here that you're the only one.

Actually I have an exclusive contract with Lexy.com to write and perform these. They have an agreement with www.4info.com and people can listen via either 4info's or Lexy's channels. I expect this will all grow and expand over the next few months.

The guys at Lexy are pretty sharp and if and when any interest along the lines of extending the character/ scope to radio or tv or even online advertising or if cartoon network wants to turn it into a toon, I think we're up for anything.

I am considering taking a couple of these and getting an illustrator to make them into Flash, just to see what happens, but it will probably not be for a while based on existing contractual agreements. Lexy is strictly an audio based system that has numerous channels for sports, news, satire, technology, etc. www.lexy.com

J - I suspect there's a market for ready-to-run characters as rich and deep as der gubernator dude. Best of luck.

Who is your favourite politician?

Tomato,
I suppose it might be Jimmy Carter, although I'm certainly not crazy about everything the man does. For many reasons, Carter was essentially ineffectual as President of the U.S., but since his departure from office he has been able to accomplish quite a bit, mostly domestically and some abroad. I wouldn't however say I am much of a fan of any politician, although there are numerous countries that I am politically ignorant of and others that as an American I only receive a distilized, homogenized picture of. There seemsto be an overall lack of respect for holders of political office, which is inexcusable.

I am not certain if the American people realize just how wrong it was for WIlson to call President Obama a liar in the middle of Obama's speech. This isn't an expression of free speech or opinion, but a complete breakdown of a system that not only shouldn't allow for such things, but should carry severe penalties for such actions.

It is entirely different to make statements in the press or public after the fact or in private during. Obviously we understand issues facing bi-partisan assmeblies. and the fact that every person on the planet seemsto have some sort of personal agenda these days.

If you ask me, the biggest problem facing all nations these days is the general disrespect we have for one another.

I'm not sure if as Governator Guy, I do anything but provide some strange form of entertainment. There is certainly no attempt to speak for any group or groups. Mostly it simply reflects bizarre ramblings either my own or those I have heard someone else express.

When we lose the right to be different,
we lose the privilege to be free.

Thank you for your nice words and thoughts. ^_^
