Clue #72 - Lost Experience Clues Podcast Episode 9, Rachel Blake Italy Post 06, The Call & The Commercial
We are BACK after being SHUTDOWN by Blogger! There is definitely something fishy about The Lost Experience Clues, Inside the Experience AND Lostpedia all going down at the same time! Is it just a coincidence, or is someone trying to silence us?
Podcast 9 Episode: We got episode 9 of our famous podcast coming in loud and unclear! We talk theories, and delve into our "Plot and Payoff Predictions" to spice up an otherwise slow couple of days. It's pretty long again, so be patient...

Rachel Blake - Italy Post 06: Rachel updated her site today and received a phone call from non other than Gidget Girl. Click here and use "RBlake" as the id and "FalseDegree" as the password. Or click here to listen without having to use the id or password.
The Call: Yesterday, Speaker mentioned in his comments that he received a phone call instructing him to watch tonight's re-runs of LOST and today we can confirm what he says because we have also received a phone call! Someone with a heavy accent called in and told us that we definitely need to watch tonight, but didn't specify which episode. When we asked who he was, there was only a click... very mysterious. Luckily, we recorded the conversation and will try to have it on next week's podcast! :)
The Commercial: During the U.S. re-airing of "The 23rd Psalm", the Hanso Foundation ran an advertisement (YouTube link thanks to LHorse007) featuring Thomas Mittlewerk in which he said, "Spirited Debate. It is the cornerstone of our philosophy here at the Hanso Foundation We are reaching out to a better tomorow and that means listening to our critics. Even those who would lob unfounded claims from the darkness. We are confident in our mission. That is why we invite you, talk about us discuss our acomplishments and our continued progress. We are here for you. Thank you and namaste."

yippee new post you guys are great, you fixed it!
Ahh, good to be back!
top 20 yes
i still think he was drinking the blood rather than receiving a transfusion!
So who is going to volunteer to watch the Lost rerun, just to see new commercials??
Are you talking about in US?
ubudes, the loging box has been there for a few days. A few things seem to happening at hansoexposed, but there's not really anything there yet. Kinetic pointed us to this in the old thread
Cuse and Lindelof have podacsted about Zombie Island & Brains......
I agree with tiu brunow... And I think we spoke for everybody outside US
Mick has BIGGER lips LOL
There is something fundamentally wrong with watching a show to see what clues the commercials will lend to the show storyline......This is the beginning of the end!!!!
Thaks I appreciate all efforts to make this avaliable to us.
LHorse007
If Mick and Keith are examples of the Hanso Life Extension Project...KILL ME NOW :)
im probably just going to watch america's got talent, and wait for the commercial to come up on youtube.
usually airs 10 minutes before the end of the episode
Forget Stopping Hanso...Stop Disney!! I am about to bust a blog on Eisner's Arse.
http://www.variety.com/VR1117946640.html
The Mouse House will announce within the next 10 days that it's cutting back on the number of films it makes to around eight per year -- it currently releases around 18 -- and will substantially reduce its workforce. All movies will be Disney-branded, meaning companies like Touchstone could be vastly diminished.
Please watch our commercials so we can hire more Human Services Representatives to lay off the mousekateers

No she says specifically the "Minnesota" Vikings on the vacation blog. Where is Radford Univ.?
Ah- Virginia, such a pretty state.
Hey, all, I'm glad I came back with things jumping around here! I read those Speaker's comments last night about the phone call as he posted them. It's very spooky that all main blogs got the same call, and there were technical problems, too. Coincidence...I think not!
So Rachel's off to Paris after eating some "tacosalad". GidgetGirl is Hugh's mistress and is British. Anybody find Rachel's email?
My DVR is set to Lost tonite, awaiting the EST people to keep up PST people and the rest of world informed!
do you guys think that TPTB are going to tied up all the loose ends we have constructed? I wonder if they read our blogs, and write down all these loose ends that we find.
it was called "the other 48 days."
well the last time I left is when Rachel updated. I am leaving right now to go make a food drop for my kitchen.
So if we're on PST then the east coasters will probably see the commercial by what time PST? I have to be out tonite- just trying to figure out if I want to record or check here/you tube.
Thanks lhorse- that's what I was thinking...
It aint elegant, but it is to the point. Tune out, turn off ABC tonight
http://users.newblog.com/thinbluemime/
Oh! sorry omniscient- should've thanked you too.
Long time observer of the game, but enjoy the conversation in this blog the best.
Isn't Psalm 23 the episode were the producers say we may have saw the monster and didn't know it. Also are we sure the clue is in the commercial and not in the episode??
bigdog: in the episode? What a marketing tool for ABC. They can start making clues out of the episodes, and we'll all have to scramble to by the DVD seasons.
ExperimentalFilm
I completely understand, and it is your choice to watch, as it is my choice not to watch. No bad feelings here, but I detest this marketing direction ABC is taking. And I shudder at any support given to Disney in this marketing campaign. Because if Disney-ABC sees a gain in revenue, and viewer acceptance of this type marketing, you can bet all ya got, they (the networks) will repeat this marketing approach.
Good Night All and Peace!
Yes the 23rd Psalm was definitely one of the episodes that they mentioned that we may have seen the monster but did not realize/recognize it...but what that means I don't know. And whether it will have any impact on the game I don't think so...but now that you've mentioned it, I think I will definitely record the show tonite.
im betting it will be a anti-hanso commercial. it will probably be like one of those attack ad commercials for politicians. and at the bottom in black and white it will say
for more information, visit
hansoexposed.com
what will be really cool is if they have those black and white pictures of thompson, mcintyre and mittlewekr, and have some voiceover talking about all the bad stuff they've been doing.
if we're really lucky, it will lead to another hanso press release.
omniscient: Another clever idea would be to hide easter eggs in the DVD menu system?
Ooooh that would be cool if they spliced something into one of the episodes.
this is obviously a shameless way for abc to keep lost's ratings up for the summer.
but so what? im hooked.
going to watch america's got talent. im hooked on that too. bye.
NoIQ said... *SPOILER*
In Psalm 23, there is no ambiguity about Eko seeing the Monster.
Oh yeah- guess that makes my comment look a little silly...but I had not heard the theory about it being the hallucinations. That's an interesting thought.
word verification: fdmeal
now I'm hungry
NoIQ.. Thanks, Since lostpedia is down couldn't look it up for myself. Nothing else on TV so ill watch anyway. Eko is one of my favorite characters.
what's this "tacosalad" blog?
The episodes are on in less than 45 minutes, I have them scheduled for recording, not sure yet how to upload onto my laptop, but if I can I will do it tomorrow am....later gang...
Glad the site is no longer under robotic control!!!!!!!
im listening to the podcast, and when did rachel say she worked for widmore? did i miss something?
ugh, im not finding this post where she mentions working for widmore. help?
thanks lhorse007, imust read more intently, lol
I have been reading a bit on the numbers forum today and was intrigued that in discussion of tacosalad there there was a mention of a Madrid post. I went to the tacosalad blog a few times when it was up and there were only ever the four locations Rachel has been to (or on her way to), so I don't know what is up with that. Noone there seems to have archived it either. I can't recall what order they appeared in but I have a feeling they were jumbled... I think Copehagen was second (ie third from the top). I remember the dates were all the same and no pictures.
Anyway... I fully expected Rachel to be in all of Act II and that it would be 48 days long. If she's going to Paris now... I find it hard to believe she will remain there for the rest of Act II. A few scenarios: Act II is not 48 days long; Rachel has more destinations ahead of her but they only had 4 on tacosalad; Rachel has more destinations ahead of her but she isn't going to mention them on her cover blog; Rachel is going to stop her blog altogether; Rachel will not be around for all of Act II...
And I few observations I forgot to post earlier. In the phone conversation with gidgetgirl Rachel seems to indicate that "Rachel Blake" is her real name. Also, with the segment of the original phone messages to Hugh's voicemail the first message sounds like the voice of Mittlewerks from Rachel's TWM/PT/mystery woman audio recording, but it sounds to me like he says "Hugh, Thomas..." If the voice is Mittlewerks, why is he refering to himself???
Belly: Check gmail for Ant's reply.
wooohoooo..here we go!!
*keeping eyes peeled*
lhorse: ahhhhhh! is right. I am in Alaska, four hours behind. And I won't be able to stick around here much longer. I'll to to wait and see the commercials myself. I'm starting a new 12-step group: TLEA (the lost experiencers anonymous)
haha, if my sister had her way,i'd join TLEA
I'm watching the frickin' recap in Frapper for those around... and stuck watching the frickin' recap.
watching the rerun ... actually nervous ... i have never felt like a bigger dork! :)
gaaaah!
maybe i need to find a local TLEA meeting.
Potterhead360: My husband will second that. TLEA's motto: One website at a time!
pharma, duh! Thankyou!
You don't feel any pressure, do you, Christy? Eagerly refreshing in Southern Cal!
Pharm: re ABC - Who cares? This is so much fun!
Hope your pen and pencils are poised to take good notes, eastcoasters! Tell us anything before things are uploaded to youtube, etc.
im gonna be relying on you guys if something happens durring "the 23rd psalm" because i must watch my anderson cooper 360, lol
couldn't agree more pharm
Thanks for the update, lhorse007!
Pharma, I'll be in on the South Pacific chapter... I've managed to keep myself reasonably occupied away from the computer for a good portion of the morning... and now here I sit, wearing out my F5 button...
After all this build up it had better not be another ROT string of words!
Your probably right, johanngut! It'll probably be in the last 5 min (like THF commercial).
**** it's 2.30 AM where I live, can't stay up any longer to see what's gonna happen. ah well. Good night.
im still a little ticked that we've heard of these "others" since season 1 yet we still know almost nothing about them
and i miss the old locke. this hatch-obsessed button-pushing locke is sooo much different i miss his blind faith sometimes. there's really no foil to jack anymore
Hi All. Just checking back in... My curious thought - why were the Lost Ninja and Other Girl unaffected by this whole web crashing thing? Does this mean that they are not getting the clues there?
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Half way through first ep and nothing yet...IMHO
skirtz: Most likely because the UK and AU haven't gotten to the end of Season 2 yet,and are not in reruns.
o.k. haven't been on all day -busy at work. but just listened to Rachel's phone call and just turned on the t.v. to watch LOST - assuming no commercial clue yet?
and Oxi - don't know if you are on but you were right about Paris!
The twelve steps to follow as part of TLEA:
1. I admit I am powerless over The Lost Eperience.
2. I have come to believe that a Power (Hanson Foundation?) greater than I could restore my sanity.
3. I have made a decision to turn my life over to Rachel Blake.
4. I have made a moral inventory of the use of office technology to follow TLE.
5. I have admitted to my wife that I am addicted.
6. I have admitted to my coworkers the exact nature of my wrongdoings (got caught f-5ing it)
7. I have humbly asked Speaker to reveal more clues daily.
8. I have made a list of all those on the TLEC blog, and am willing to make amends.
9. I apologize to all on the TLEC blog for lurking for so long.
10. I continue to take a personal inventory of and promptly admit when I cannot stop refreshing.
11. I have sought meditation to improve my conscious contact with Alvar Hanson.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, I have carried the message to other addicts.
Noblelawyer: Not yet. Us PSTers are awaiting your updates!
Thanks, thrasher! Keep us posted!
Cold! That is fantastic!
this is a great refresher. ijust remebered that desmond was there for a few years. why did the dharma initiative stop sending people to ths island? and what happened to the other hatches/people in them?
noble: Amazing what one can come up with while awaiting the next clue.....
Great, Colduphere! I have taken the first step: I admit I am powerless over The Lost EXperience.
Thanks lhorse, I am not that tech savy...I am sure there is a way!!
Great Podcast guys!! I can't beleive I post that much!!! Mostly non-sense, like this....
colduphere, 5 needs adjusting to "significant other" or some other non-specific terminology ;)
wow, I was just away from the computer for 5 mins!
I am also admitting to step 1
eventually these recaps are going to be 3 hours long! i think people should not be allowed to watch the show now if they haven't from the begining, lol. that eliminates recaps and having to endure my 2nd youngest sisters questions, lol
Lavenda: good point ;)
Thrasher: remember, baby steps...
It's getting close to the end of the 1st ep...anything? Bueller?
Hi my name is Scoutpost and I'm an addict.
lol pharm
wouldn't it suck if there wasn't anything in the episode and we all got excited for nothing, and i recorded that woody guthrie doc for nothing? lol
at the EST, we got through one episode. no hanso commercials.
damn.
So, what have we learned?
ABC is pimping out another show where peoples lives intersect...six degrees...whoopie!!!
It might be good, or not...only Lost matters!!!!
lol at least i have nothing else to watch after grey's that i know of
This better NOT be a giant promo for 6 Degrees! They wouldn't dare do that to us, would they?
Well, while we are waiting for our friends on the US East Coast...my 11 month old son Oakley is passed out asleep in his carseat in mom's car, and he it's the most adorable thing ever...
How cute, colduphere!
Ha! Sweet logo Jack Gladney!
I loved mathnet as a kid! Tuesday was my idol. (or was it wednesday?)
Ah more clues... *salivates and walks like a zombie*
jenni: I think he's probably smarter then all of us...I'll be back after a quick nap!
hey guys no clue in est yet. damn
is someone gonna watch ep. 2 for those of us that aren' just in case?
and where did jack score that booze? lol
Just listened to the podcast. Dudes, that wasn't me on that song :D That was my friend Jeff. He covered it. Cheers for playing it though, I'll let him know. Nice theories.
so has anything happened at hanso exposed yet?
did we ever find out why we can't use the PC for anything else?i think the producers will start to hate these recaps, cause it shows all the plott points yet to be concluded
Dad?
LOST
End episode!
argh so we need to wait another hour for the clue. I tried rblake and revelations at the hanso site, but that didnt work either. oh well
hahaha pharm
nothing yet and fist commercial break of 23 psalm
omg its like boston terries gone wild over my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You ESTers are doing a great job! Thanks :)
: )
So no one has seen what happens tonight yet? I'm on the westcoast and I have to watch RockStar Supernova because I like good music instead of friggin american idol. Anyways...
yeah - the six degrees thing had me all riled up, too.
*sigh*
Oh well, gotta go...at least I know that I only have to record 23rd Psalm.
Glad to be back up and running. I can't really be around tonight but will check in later.
We recorded that phone call mentioned on the frontpage and should have it cleaned up for the podcast next week! :)
Waiting for what we've been waiting for...
does anyone know what the latin-looking words mean on the top of lycgy?
Potterhead360: It is Latin for "Let Your Compass Guide You"
word
verification: rrzcar
Here in Central Time we've seen a lot of Chrysler commercials. Every time that crazy professor comes on with his "accent" I think it might be the mysterious caller. Speaking as a marketing person, this little tease has been brilliant...no one is clicking away at the commericals! As a TLEA, it's making me a bit twitchy.
I did ask Dr. Z a question on AskDrZ.com just to see what happens.
Sweets
I tried emailing Dr. Z when that campaign started to ask if he knew where Alvar was. I think I really confused them...no answer!
I hate when my cell phone carrier drops my calls!!!!
Get Cingular!!!
I mean Verizon....oh gorammit!!
i asked the drx, some questions, but nothing. I found myself at the jeep compass site again, where it says let your compass guide you. Has that always been there?
Why did Rachel put that audio with GG on an ABC - LOST site? Maybe she finally realizes there is an island with survivors on it!
oy vey, why do I have a feeling they are leaving the commecial for the end, to keep the ratings up longer....
Maven and Sweetscrapper, that's hilarious. I have to say, from paying such agonizing attention to the ads, I now know how to keep my whites white, what's better than American Idol, and that I need to get a Verizon phone in order to find my way out of a hardware store.
Advertising Gods, we're paying attention! Please reward us with a clue! Or a Rachel Video! Or just say Hanso once, out loud....man, I'm jonesin'...
If there is going to be anything tonight - it's going to be in the last 5 min. That's when the Hanso commercials aired. Don't give up!
i don't know if it's always been there but, on the let your compass guide you website, in between 108 and 144 is the letters/numbers that appear on all dharma items
( DI 9FFTR751)
OMG! COLD! That was so funny (or I completely identify with it.)
Hello, My name is Olerica. I am a TLE addict.
I apologize for being a lurker and that when I do post, it's completely inane.
:o)
e-dude: If that's true, I'm really going to be very upset! I'm hoping they wouldn't stoop so low...
well just wait till the end, and see, dont get gray hair seaching everywebsite that pokes up...if nothing at the end, then look back and search. There is no race here(well maybe there is)
not the compass site, but the DHARMA leter number combo between 108 and 144 ( DI 9FFTR751)
yeah, that too I think johna
jonahadkins: That's been there all along. (The food drop numbers)
Be careful Jonaadkins!! there is a storm trooper behind you!!
May the force be with you!
oh, and I am CST, but no difference as far as when we get clues
i can cut the tension in this room with a knife!!!!!!!!!
Thrasher: LOL!
O..M...G
just went to askdrz.com and typed in alvar hanso in the "search" to submit a question.
It said " The Dr. has nothing to say about that..yet. !!!!!!!!!!!
Half an hour to go!
FYI: The Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers are arguably the oldest--and most ferocious--of all NFL rivalries. (My folks were raised in Cheeseland and I was born in MN...I had a stormy adolescent life).
Thrasher... awesome. Love the light sabers
shellma it says that when u type anything in, i tried lol
MN Writer... where are you? I'm in Eagan.
How do you pronounce TLEA...is it "tee-lee" or "tee-lee-ah"? Just want to be appropriate when I go and seek help.
Does anyone else feel oddly compelled to buy an Infiniti or Chick Fil A...no? never mind...
shellma, he says that about every question he doesnt have an answer to. I asked if apples are red, and I got the same response
Squirles are real Jedi's they keep the world safe!!! LOL
Anyone think it will be a widmore corp commercial?
well...sh*t!!!!
thot i was about to be famous!
ROFLMAO!!!!!
That dr is not very smart,lol
FAST - I think it's more like... T.L.E.A.
Good thinking, Jonah!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give us the clue TPTB
Are you going to beat me with your Jesus stick?? Gotta love Charley.
Oooo! Here's the smoke monster!
At least we got to hear "What are you gonna do...beat me with your Jesus stick?" again. That kills me. Commercial? Please?
Can anyone tell me how long this askdrz.com site has been up?
I totally jumped! My Hubby laughed so loud.
Did you guys see the flashes of people in the smoke? Was that always there? Did I miss it before?
I wonder if it evaluated Eko's life???
olerica--born and raised in Rochester, but now i live in Osaka, Japan.
mikeyp228--okay i'll give you that :)
i have decided to write a poem to kill time....
oh powers that be,
what will the next clue be?
is it a song, or a site, or will it just be on T.V.
oh please let it come soon,
I dont want to wait till the full moon,
tells us now, tell us please,
oh please let us know powers that be.
You know it will mikey!
Pirates, Big Mac, Deodorant, Hostages, local Texas weather....
Clearly a clue...a desparate call for help...if only I could interpret it...
carrie, just rightclick on the screen... scroll down to refreash
Thanks jenni...figures.
I'm always a day late and a dollar short.
carrie: F5 will refresh
Carrie said...
thanks for the reload help.
Thanks from me too. I'm getting old...benn closing blog and opening again.
I'm sure lots will find that very amusing..lol
That's okay, shellma: I did the same thing for a long time before someone straightened me out!
I like it Christine#2
Control-R also works to refresh the page.
thanks noblelawyer ( who is a girl)
<<<*pressing F5*
cant thank enough for that tip!!!
My firefox has a blue two way arrow icon.
jingle bells, hanso smells, like pinetrees in the rain, picking up hoes, like cheerios, and making us insane....
i have the firefox but dont use it. what is the greatness with that browser guys? SHOULD i be using it?
i am making these up as i am typing them.
omg christine rofl!!!!!
Mikey,
Can you drive that thing over and pick us all up? We need a ride to funky town....
I'm all eyes.... though I think it's going to be the commercial just prior to the 'news'
I had Xhibit pimp my firefox
twinkle twinkle little joop , how we laugh when we see you poop
up above the magnetosphere,
dont we wish we had some beer....
hey lets get rachel one of those razr nav phones
its here, its here!!!
tell us tell us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was wrong!!
no clues though.
just mittlework, saying they welcomed critisizm, talk about their work. that is all. no website
holy crap a mittelwerk commercial!!!
Wow, now what do we do?
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
how can we talk about them, if their site is closed
unless...
they're reopening it
SOMEBODY GET THAT ON YOUTUBE STAT!!! I GOTTA SEE THAT AGAIN!!!
NOW WHAT!!
Mittlework in an office like lobby, saying that Hanso welcomes critisizm and people talking about their projects/accomplishments. then ending showing the hanso logo and green screen, but no website address
omg i missed it!
yes panda, he ran into a poine tree when he was younger and his leg fell off..
WTF was with the mittlewerk commercial?!?!?!
So, where are we supposed to throught claims from the darkness at? A message board at abc.com since the commercial was sponsored by ABC,inc.?
What do we do NOW?
hanso website is still down
we are already talking about them. Don't need an invite from Him.
site still down...checking abc for anyhting...
despite no website given, its always good to see the hanso execs in action.
THF site is still shutdown.
Isn't there a Blog for HANSO??
Nothing new on the foundation site. Sound background added.
checking everything for anything...whole bunch of nothing!
What did he tell us? Squat!!! Although he looked younger than the video Rachel had with him
I don't think it merrits its own clues honestly - leave it with the clue that speaker said to watch lost.
that is t.v. makeup thrasher
i really think the commercial was more of a public service announcement, than an advertisement.

Discuss our accomplishments and continued progress. We are here for you. Thank you, and Namaste."
Hmmmm... what accomplishments and progress? Better tomorrows?
Depens on your perspective, right Rachael?
What about hansoexposed.com? Anything there?
off topic- has anyone read Bad Twin and if so, is it worth bying or just getting from the library?
i really think the commercial was more of a public service announcement, than an advertisement.
