I can't say for sure since I fell asleep somewhere during Colonel A's refutation of Lead Investigator B's mentioning on page 19 of declassified Document X-482 that Program XYZ (formerly known as ABC) had found possible evidence corroborating the alleged description of a craft described by ex-CIA official C during interviews held under the moniker IJK but known by insiders as Blue Book Redux that ......... zzzzzzzzzz   

Perfect parody, Zeebo.

Dr. Mac is getting pretty long in the tooth. I'm not sure , but I'm thinkin' he's got to be in his 80's.

I looked it up to see how old he is, because listening to him was torturous to me.  He's 72.  I think he must be in very bad health.  What a shame.  Should have been a great show, but I couldn't get past the guest's droning on.

Oh man, are you in dreamland.

You probably also believe that the Newtown massacre is a hoax (I warn you, careful what you say, I knew some who died there).  Deception?  You are self decieved.  This is not a loonatic fringe thread, let's keep the extreme politics to a minimum, unless you want a fight with a liberal like me who might embarass you.  Alex Jones is a huxter, and if you take him seriously, you are a sucker.  Take the Alex Jones junk to a conspiracy forum where it belongs, spare us.

Best thing Art ever did was show he has a reasoning mind on politics.  I don't agree with much of his stands on things, but he's not histrionic and not an activist, he's not a loon.  I like Art because he's bright enough to realize that there's already way too much politics from the right on the radio as it is.  Centrism and moderacy is what the nation needs.

Laserjock, I've been meaning to tell you that I like you. 

I'm a Knapp fan for sure, but sometimes his topics are just too far from what I look forward to hearing about in the middle of the night.  This is one of those nights.

I'm listening to a rerun of Dreamland from 1995, re various forms of ET's.  Much more interesting than the Beatles. 

Dave Schrader just tried to jokingly calm the guests' nerves by telling them to pretend there's no one listening to them except him and Coast's 15 million listeners.  Wonder who threw him that figure?

Oh lord. More New Age nonsense.  I was looking forward to Jim Harold but we have to listen to this nutcase first.

Me, too, 21, I've been looking forward to Jim Harold all week.  They waited til the very last minute to add the 1st half "whatever."  I haven't bothered to listen to it ... still waiting for mid-show, and something good from Harold.

How much suckier can this bunch of morons make Coast.  Talk about bait and switch.

I tuned it to the last part of the show to try to catch the new morning crew, and now not only does the local station cut off the last hour of the Friday show... but they have a disclaimer at various times during C2C saying the statements made on the show are not those of the station. They have been carrying the show since the 90's, and have never done either before. Yikes.

Verryy interesting ... Maybe someone has been listening to George's medical advice, and complained to the right person ... 

Behold. Art speaketh again tonight:

Mallie fox ruins darkeness radio for me. She throws darkness radio completely off when she appears on the show. I am not sure if it is entirely her fault but Tim and Dave's banter with her is not interesting and creepy.

I wholly concur.  I cannot imagine why anyone would think she is entertaining, and, as you said, she throws the others off, too.  I never listen on Friday nights, which I believe is the only time she's on.

... To be blunt, he strikes me as a Canadian version of Wells. If you give him a few more shows and time I'm pretty sure he'd come around and remove all doubt. ...

This is what I also "hear" happening.  Since his first  innocuous C2C show quite a while back, I've noticed Syrett progress to more of the Noory (wolf in sheep's clothing)/Wells (total maniac) types.

You can bet Noory is coaching him along.

I listened tonight just to see how Syrett did.  I fell asleep soon after the show started, but that may have been my fault.  Woke up at the halfway mark, though, and so got the full effect of the open lines segment.

Syrett is definitely a disciple of Jorch, and it showed tonight.  Not saying he's not bright, but he really likes to get into the conspiracy stuff.  My favorite part was when a caller said he heard Syrett on another show lately talking about the "birther" issues on Obama, and wanted to hear more.  Syrett (a Canadian) seemed quite invested in the need for an American President to be a "natural born citizen" of the U.S.  He's looking for followup information from Sheriff Joe Arapaio on whether Obama's birth certificate was forged and -- even better -- who may have forged it.

Syrett's suggested topic, and the prevailing theme, involved a waitress who served him and who wore a necklace made up of the numbers 666.  He and his wife were both very upset, and he ended up tipping the girl only 5% because of it.  Not surprisingly, this brought out a whole barrelfull of (ahem) interesting callers ... the usual Bible thumpers and others of fixed mindsets, and even one who is of the "Vampire religion."  Syrett's proclivity to Christian beliefs bothered me, even though I'm a Christian myself.  I like my hosts to be objective.  He reminded me of Noory.

Just my opinion, but I was not pleased.

...  I used to say that Wells was the worst that Coast had to offer.  I did not care about the voice- he sucked too much to be able to sit back, relax and listen.  I still have various radio shaped holes in my kitchen walls from some of his shows.  I have a couple from Garr's as well.

I just cannot listen to her crap without getting upset.  Therefore, no Coast for me when she hosts this weekend...

You must be reading my mind.  My feelings exactly.

He was threatening to leave the country if the debt ceiling wasn't raised because he believed failure to do so would result in financial ruin. Yeah, because the Philippines have always been immune to financial trouble.

I'm with you. When I heard this, my immediate reaction was to believe DM wouldn't be long for this world.

The guest was talking about a case in which a man paid another man to kill him, and make it look like a murder for insurance purposes. She laid the whole case out, and good ol' Neorge followed it up by asking "Ok, here is the all important question... why did he do it?" The poor lady didn't skip a beat in saying once again for insurance. Neorge is a buffoon, and if they want to talk about murders then they need to interview him on his ability to kill a once great show with no ramifications.

I heard that, too, and once again wondered if, by some stretch of the imagination, Simple George is really NOT a total moron, then WHAT is it he's doing to make him miss the point of the story so often?

Could it possibly be terminal ADD??? 

Your boss evidently knows very little, but thinks he/she is godlike.  You will be expected to keep him/her believing his/her delusions of grandeur.

May God have mercy on you.

Joorch completely flipped off by Zimmerman! He runs his Insulate The Grid campaign by the guest, and Zimmerman just completely thumbed his nose at it. Not at all worried about it, he says. In fact, he goes on, the main mystery with the sun 'today' is its complete lack of activity. The Idiot thought he meant today literally. Zimmerman slightly irritatedly says he means over the last decade. Just dismisses the idea there's likely to be a problem and anyway, he says, when a solar flare caused a power outage in Quebec, it seemed to him the grid coped with it. Joorch was saved by the bumper music, and made no comment on Zimmerman's dismissal of his new pet theory.

Hearing that would have almost made listening tonight worth the mental drain.

Many tests are time sensitive. Some tests can only be performed in a handful of settings. To fully understand this virus, it needs to be studied in a lab that "can do it all".

I am much more scared of hep A from a food worker.

For me, Onan, you are the Voice of Reason.  Thanks for speaking out.

Ebola is actually only somewhat more contagious than AIDS-at least for now.  It spreads through bodily fluids (not sneezing and coughing like the flu).  It is rampant in Africa mainly due to tribal customs surrounding the burial of the dead.  Many tribes ritually wash the dead and even kiss the person after death.  Unless you have date plans with either of the two infected people, I think you are safe.

Not crazy about bringing them here, but am glad to see we are helping Americans for a change.

Thanks for the info re why these things spread so quickly in other parts of the world, Mike. I have been concerned about the coughing and sneezing thing.

I'm also glad to see us helping Americans for a change, though not thrilled about bringing ebola to our own shores.

We are bringing two infected and very sick health care workers here...why?
I hope Homeland has considered what somebody with bad intentions could do with this.

I wish I didn't see Art's statement as an unintended revelation that, most of the time, he doesn't "truly wish" he were on the air. ... but I do.

After seeing the repugnant nature of Mike Bara through his blogs and those of debunkers from Bell Gab, I thought I would listen to his interview again to see if I could link that, let's say new-agey, voice to the vile persona on the internet.  I didn't listen much the first time around having been put off by the abuse of the title 'engineer' in his introduction and the content of the first few minutes.

In the process I came across this little gem.  Sorry it's a little difficult to read.  I thought I would give everyone who no longer listens the full pleasure of the Noory experience.

[Bara talking about being interviewed]

George Noory:  You know what?  A good interview is when you listen.  Larry King told me that... a long time ago.

Bara:  [sounding incredulous] Eeoohhh

Noory:  He said, uh, you know, listen.  (You know) and I... and.. (you know) sometimes (you know) you stumble into someone or you jump on somebody's sentence.

So (you know) one of the most difficult things about a radio interview, Mike, is... just when you think they've stopped talking, and you don't want to have a lot of dead air on the air?  (You) so you're ready to... you jump in?  (That) They pick up again!  and that's... that's the frustrating part of an interview.  (Nd you know) and some people think 'oh you interrupted him.'  No I didn't interrupt him he stopped!  And then I started but he started again.  So, you know, it sounds that way.

Bara:  [jokingly] Well, see, the problem when you're doing a show with a guy like me is that (uh, you know) occasionally I do stop to breath... and... and that's always a problem.

Noory:  [jokingly] Not very often.  Not very often.  There have been times you've been on the air with me, I have left and gone to the restroom and came back twenty minutes later.  Nd you were still talking.

Bara:  [serious] You know...

Noory:  I'm kidding, I'm kidding

Bara:  [continuing thought] I know that you've done that.  I actually know that you have done that.  I've heard that you have done that and I know it's not with me.

Noory:  That's a joke...

Yes George, you do need to listen.  But you need to listen for content, not for cues.  I think that is the biggest bash against Noory here on the forums.  He doesn't seem to listen to content and doesn't seem able to anticipate or notice when a story has been building to a climax it has yet to reach.  If Noory could just help the interviewee build a narrative, rather than breaking it up with miscellaneous cue-card thoughts and questions, it would be much easier for him and us to follow along.  I hate to say it, but Bara makes a good point when he says sometimes the guest/caller is just pausing for breath.

Thank you for chronicling this exchange so well, GFP.  I was too lazy to post about it myself, but loved hearing Jorch explaining why he so inappropriately interrupts people so regularly. I've often wondered who brainwashed him against leaving one second of dead air. As you say, he's just listening for sound rather than meaning. GNS
