I reckon some people really do believe all the guff. You need your Bullshit Filters on when listening to C2C, i have found of late that I have to trawl through a lot of shows before I find one I listen to all the way through. What date was the show with Ian Punnett where Quayle had a hissy fit? I would love to hear that.

Apr 19 2008
I just listened to that - awesome! Needless to say, none of Quayle's doom and gloom prediction came to pass.

His unfortunate apology  is on Apr 25 2008.

I swear it seems like Quayle pops a bunch of opiates before he gets on the line. He NEVER stops talking

Wrong poison. He sounds like he *needs* opiates, not that anyone should use them for recreational purposes.

Being an ex-Wild Thing, it sounds to me like he snorts up two HUGE lines of crystal meth before getting on the air.  And this isn't even much of an exaggeration of a speculation:  I would bet pretty good money that he does just that.

You picked the right poison when it comes to a drug that will make someone incessantly blabber with no interruption whatsoever. Let it be noted that I'm not saying that Quayle partakes in amphetamines or uppers of any kind. I doubt that he takes hallucinogens, which one could be forgiven for suspecting of somebody who once saw a gigantic Christ in his room. It could be that he just drinks a pot of coffee, chased with Red Bull, before each show.

I didn't believe the story but I could see how many people might have... I was really into it regardless.

I heard a great Art Bell show that I've never heard nor have I seen mentioned here.  Some South African military guy was spinning a tale about being involved in the shooting down of a UFO.  It was shot down with a "LASER BEAM" on a Mirage jet.  Then while transporting the downed UFO and it's passengers one of the Aliens woke up only to be beaten to death by a soldier with the butt of his rifle.  Apparently the US was immediately involved taking this UFO and its pilots to area 51.  The guest made a point to express his support of Bob Lazaar and his reports regarding whats stored in area 51.

Laser beam on a Mirage?  Interesting story but that's a new one on me.

Don't know if they're C2C listeners, but Sherri Tenpenny and her ilk may have a lot to answer for.

They probably think its a government plant, set there to undermine their fight for truth.

If it's a good guest, I buy into it 100%. At least until the end of the show. Same as if I'm watching a good movie or TV show. When the show's over, reality returns. That's one of the reasons I hate Dave. He's so bad some nights that he destroys that ability to believe and enjoy.

Just don't forget the way back home.  McKenna always fascinated me.  I can't say if I bought it or not cuz I didn't get it but was fascinated.  The show is like a movie.  My approach too.

Remote viewed this situation and all I'm picking up is some cough syrup, No Doz, and a butt plug.

That was my Saturday night, too.

I found that exact shopping list left in my cart last weekend.

I think people basically operate at the level of fear (of deprivation) and satiation (seek pleasure). Over this core is a thin veneer of civility, reason and logical thinking. But the majority are not capable of abstract thought, cannot exceed a 12-yr old mentality and cannot read above a 6th grade level.
   Consequently people are, en masse, vulnerable to suggestion (because we are primarily xenophobic  and prone to violence).
   So its not surprising to see case after case of conspiracy theory spawning and spreading like virii. Human nature.

That's a pretty darn concise explanation of things, tarbaby...  at the risk of sounding like a composition instructor (which I, in fact, am), I'd love more detail and some examples to develop and illustrate your points.  My understanding is that people who go for conspiracy theories tend to feel socially powerless.  Being in on the conspiracy is a way to separate themselves from everybody else; they think they have some inside knowledge that sort of levels the playing field.

C2C has had one or two people that have written research books on this topic. Can't remember their exact names, but I am sure it is searchable.

I guarantee you that there are many many people that buy into a lot of his guests.   The only radio preacher worth listening to is Bob Larson, and that's just for the entertainment factor.   But, sadly, my father was sucked into him and sent him thousands of dollars.   Religion is for suckers, and anything new age is too.

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on May 19, 2013, 07:40:04 AMIf you think about it, there isn't that big a leap from some multi millionaire evangelist on TV wanting you to tap in your card number, and some pseudo science charlatan on the radio, pushing his/her latest book/ dvd/ conference/ cruise

+1

The problem is that C2C mixes some normal guests in with quacks.  This, unfortunately, gives the quacks legitimacy.   Most listeners aren't going to google any of this to fact check and believe it all.

If you listen to c2c, you deserve what you get.

C2C could really be a big sociology experiment. 

Nooray and sons are gonna present their findings to the WHO later this year, and find out how many listeners are actually up to the task of being able to separate reality from fiction.

Why People Believe Weird Things by Michael Shermer, and there are two other books-I will let you know when I remember them.
