Hah!

Appears to me like Gene has already disappeared both the posts and Elmo.

He's so modest when it comes to his good works.

No room service ! ! ! ( I had to use 3 exclamation points on that one)

Substandard Wi-Fi !!

House Keeping is an additional service charge!!

Very few amenities.!! (I have to clean up after myself, including any missed rim shots)

Gene needs a better editor or something, cause this selection of calamities it just doesn't move me, the next thing you know our messages will be filled with pictures of toddlers with distended bellies or something that really tugs at the heart strings.

Now if we just have his Rockoids characters dealing with the same sort of circumstances then we might have something there. :somad:

That post is laughable! I wonder if the poster knows who he is dealing with. Steinberg supposedly doesn’t have a pot to pee in and he doesn’t give out money to others. It’s a one way street with him.

Quite frankly his latest email (August 6 2018, a.m.) seems tailor made to outrage his critics. If I thought he had a shred of self-awareness I'd imagine he's trolling the people he calls trolls. But more likely he's inadvertently providing fresh meat by exercising that unbridled sense of entitlement and self pity.

I do love how he thinks the motel should grant him 'leeway' on making payments. I'm certain that would be bad for both of you, Gene. You'd fuck it up and get thrown out, they'd lose the income.

While I don't envy his circumstances it has to be said there are loads of folks who have it well worse than Gene. Part of me wants to see him try being grateful for what he has for a change but of course that wouldn't really cut it in an email attempting to solicit donations.

Have you ever noticed that Steinberg only has cash enough for a couple days stay at the hotel. Somehow he always comes through with the money. I wonder if those sob stories are getting to posters or he actually has enough money to pay all along.

He always has the money,he just doesn't seem to like paying anyone!
The poster on the paracast was actually mocking a historical post from Gene where he promised to share any donations he received with disaster victims.Gene was too slow to realise this at first.

He probably forgot he even said that since it was a lie anyway...

See, that's the problem with running grift for so many years. You have to remember ALLLLLLL the lies....and as he's so fond of reminding us, he is getting up there...must be hard to recall them all....

It really is hard to believe that's not a cunning spoof, a la the Onion or something. He has reached new heights of self-parody. I still halfway wonder if maybe someone hijacked his account. There was some other high grade trolling going on this morning. Man, what a rabbit hole this mess is!

No room service! I'm sure the fuckwit would be ordering room service if it were available. He has to clean up after himself? Holy shit! He's being treated like a commoner! He has to keep paying his room rent, or get out. The nerve of those greedy bastards. It's like they are running a commercial business or something.

Hi,

As I write this, it’s just before 11:00 AM Arizona time, and I have to pay the motel to stay longer — or leave. I asked the front office to give me more time, and they said an hour or two at most.

I’m rushing to raise as much money as I can, so I can stay as long as I can without having to worry about such deadlines.


Can you help?

There is some good news to report: I’m working with an online marketer to totally rebuild The Paracast site and greatly expand marketing. This is a big deal and I have high hopes for this project.

In the meantime, if you can send me a donation, please go to: Send Money, Pay Online or Set Up a Merchant Account - PayPal, login and use the Send to friends and family option. Enter my email address, gene@technightowl.com, and click or tap Next to continue the transaction.

PayPal now has a way to do instant transfers to a bank account for a 1% fee, so it’s the best way to help.

But I can also accept donations through Facebook Messenger and Apple Pay Cash via the Messages app.

If you’re not able to send a donation, feel free to forward this message to someone who might assist.

If you have any questions about my living situation, please let me know.

Peace,

He really can't help himself. It's like an extreme sport for him. He has to see how much extra he can squeeze out of people for free.

You'd need a lot of marketing to sell people complete garbage, particularly garbage which has been tainted by the host's own scamming. That doesn't come cheap and I'm sure you can't buy marketing without paying up front - online marketing in particular - you have to pay in advance.

How has the money for this materialised, given that Gene seems unable to pay his motel bill?

As always it makes no sense unless Gene is lying and spinning us all a line.

No opportunity for begging can be missed and as someone else said previously, once he had put forth the Monday deadline it was clear that Gene would try to milk it as much as possible.

Most motels want you to pay by credit credit card. But wait, Steinberg probably has multiple credit cards tapped out. What motel manager will tell you that you have 1-2 hours to come up with the money? A totally BS story.​
 
I have had quite a lot of experience with motels, on both sides of the counter. Very little of that experience is recent, but I'm sure it's still true that pretty much every motel will have a weekly rate that's quite a bit lower than seven days at the normal rate. Of course, it is necessary to pay for a whole week in advance. I'm sure Gene could do that, and may well be doing that. Either he is too dense to do it that way (after all, it's much, much cheaper yet just to pay your apartment rent and not get tossed out), or he's making up imaginary deadlines to spam us with.

Gotta say, I just don't believe this one. I really have a hard time imagining he doesn't already have the money to pay to stay longer, for one thing. For another, the hotel management is granting him a "an hour or two" to raise the funds...? That seems really, really unlikely to me.

p.s. I didn't get that note from him. Maybe I'm not on his inner circle mailing list... ;)

Steinberg tipped his hand with a previous post. He stated he has been at the motel for 30 days. He certainly had funds for that period of time. He is still driving around in a car and Steinberg and his wife dine out for all their meals. There’s plenty of dough for those items.

IS HE EVEN SERIOUS????

Anyone, ANYONE, with half a brain stem would be able to tell that a marketer will want cash up front! Where's that cash coming from, friends and neighbors? Well, the gullible, I suppose...but that's operating expenses. That shouldn't be coming from friggin' PERSONAL APPEAL DONATIONS!

More, with his contract with GCN, how can he remarket the show? Didn't he sign a contract? I'm sure he did. And I'm not so sure he's not getting at least some form of affiliate pay through the commercials, like a percentage of proceeds from orders placed during his time slot.

Jesus WEPT.
