John B. Wells

[yumyumtree]

Please don't call Wells a right winger He's a no- winger. Some conspiracy nuts, like Alex Jones and the LaRouche people aren't on the spectrum.
As far as nicknames go, there was a Seinfeld episode in which George wanted his co-workers to call him "T-bone", but they ended up calling him Koko. You can't force those things.

[RedMichael]

He definitely appeals to the extreme right side more than other sides though. I don't think this is legit though, I think he intentionally panders to the side to a good extent.

He is just a slacker, plain and simple. He has no knowledge of these subjects other than what he can google during a show.

[awake]

I could actually somewhat enjoy Wells.........BUT HIS RIGHT WING EXTREMIST, GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACIES, FEAR MONGERING, "GRAB YER' GUNS, BOYS" HIDDEN GOVERNMENT AGENDAS programs have driven me AWAY from my radio on Saturday nights.   

I listen to SOMEWHERE IN TIME on Saturdays from 8 to midnight......then, unless Wells has a topic that is of interest (which RARELY happens).......it's TV or sleep.     

You're right on the money.

Wells had no experience doing talk radio before Coast. People were willing to give him a chance. But he never improved, in fact he has gotten more extreme with his crazy political agendas.

Tons of new posts since I logged in a few hours ago and none for John B. Wells, who is currently hosting.  Pretty telling.

Yeah here's one

WELLS sucks too.

[Nucky Nolan]

I can do without the doom and gloom. I also can do without callers' lengthy sermons. That said, he's much better than Noory. To me, there's absolutely no comparison.

I like John B most of the time. I like his voice and general attitude. And he doesn't slaughter the English language. Don't like him so much when he gets too political.
For me, he's a welcome change from Dave.

Now that Ian is gone, I normally only listen to C2C when either John B or George Knapp are hosting.

So I'm serving my time in the trenches tonight under a non stop barrage from ol johnny b.  WTF is wrong with him?  The guest spent 15 minutes explaining prayer and the two types.  Goal oriented "god please make him stop" and then the other one... shit i can't remember what it was called either but it would go something like "god please help me deal with him he won't fucking stop."  So goal oriented and like general plea for help.  At the end of this first hour Johnny B asks the guest WHAT prayer IS... you just talked about it for an hour.

I've also noticed Johnny B "fat breathing."  Thats when somebody is totally at rest and not making any noise or talking but you can clearly hear them breathing.  Fat people do it I'm sorry but its just true. Don't they have noise gates as well as tons of compression on their voices these "broadcasters?"  Does he have the mic head IN his mouth due to some phallic obsession... oral compulsion.... cocksucking desires? 

ORAL FIXATION thats what i was trying to type.... thanks freud.

Did he mention Art's new show at all?

[Nucky Nolan]

I must be in the minority here. Wells doesn't get under my skin, although his verbal detours can be vexing. He's improved in that regard.

(Not) John Wells: "It's like my dad used to say, no, let's shoot this out the back door, (sigh) I don't know, I recall my sensei once told me that..., hang this on the clothesline...."

[Morgus]

Did he mention Art's new show at all?

no, of course not.
but a caller in the first hour (open lines) did briefly.

Why some folks don't hear it that way, I'll never know.  I'm wit ya, Nebraska.

Nucky, I agree with you.  I enjoy the timbre of John's baritone, and I love his bumper music, and when he's not doing Conspiracy Jamboree, he's kind of enjoyable.  His guest tonight seems to be absolutely delighted with John and the show (although, I doubt this guest does a lot of shows...I don't think he gets out much...but he's warmed up after 2 hours!). He's made some charming eccentric segues from praying over yeast to our listening to music being a quantum experience to tons of movie references.  I'm kind of happy for the old guy.  I wish Wells could just lay off the politics...he has managed to not drag the nice old guest into that morass.  However, you might have caught a promo for c2c about 40 minutes ago, and the first word mentioned was "Conspiracies".  Somebody pray for us!  

There never was a better time for the return of Art!  

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Is John B. researching the guest's book, reading it aloud, for the first time while on the air?

[karios8]

That's what it sounded like to me.

[IartC2C]

If George Bush, George Noory and Barry White had a kid, he'd be Wells.

He's not the reactionary that some seem to think that he is. My guess is that few libertarians see him that way. On the other hand, I get why some of his comments bug people. If I was the producer, I might go light on politics and religion. Those subjects almost always alienate some people. I'd rather stick to the bread and butter that built Coast, the alternative topics that didn't cater to the Left or the Right. Frankly, a lot of this just has to do with whose ox is being gored. Let the daytime political pundits attack our sacred cows. All of that aside, he's a much better host than Noory. Like you, I dig his vibe, sans ideology, which is great for regular shows. He should take over Friday nights since he's more suited for open lines than Noory is. He does surprisingly well with some paranormal and traditional topics too.

WoW!  That's scary.  The guy gives me a migraine.  Tonight already began as a complete and utter disaster.  It's insane, what comes out of his mouth when something does.  He and Noory are utterely discombobulated idiots.

I feel like the guy just isn't putting in the prep work. He is like that guy you drive truck with and when you get to the drop off, he just talks to the customer, agreeing with everything they say, and you do all the unloading. And you also drove the truck.

[Nucky Nolan]

Calm down

Take your own advice. I'm far from scary.

He's not my favorite host. Next to Dave Noory, he sounds like Art Bell.

I agree 100% but would u go with paranoid?  People r so fucking strange on "blogs."  If you could have seen and heard me when I commented on your scary post u would have found me laughing hysterically and holding my crotch so as not to wet myself.  A big smile would have ensued.  Get it?

I'm lost...how does holding your crotch prevent you from wetting yourself? By wetting do you mean urinating or cutting yourself with a knife?

Stop stalking me strange one.  Oedipus this too.  I believe I live in a damn free country still, at this moment anyway.  And when a female pinches her crotch, crosses her legs, squeezes her outer genitalia between her thighs it can stop her from PEEING o' scary one.  You r inflaming my Wells induced migraine.

BTW: that was my final acknowledgement of your stalking.  I can not however promise I will never quote u again.
