Jerky sayings John B. Wells uses to try and sound oh so cool...?

[Jocko Johnson]

Johnny B. I think just makes up these jerky sayings trying to make it sound like he is a real hip dude...I can't stand the guys show topics so after giving him a few months of a listen I bailed out on him like jorch.

Here's a few of the things he says over, and over that give me "the douche chills" & are very like C2C:
"Go and make yourself a proper cup of tea, we'll be right back."

"Tell us just like taking a shot-gun blast out the back door."

"Just between us and a few million of our very close friends, ha, ha."

"Jambawhambaa."

Ok who's next...?

[Falkie2013]

I like the one about the tea though I wonder what is an improper cup of tea.

[McPhallus]

Don't forget the feigned British accent and the defensive self-pleading against those who dare to criticize his whole approach of insisting everything is a conspiracy.  For sheer pretense, he's worse than Noory.

[Jocko Johnson]

Yep...u r correct.
One nite a couple three wks ago...he had some tech difficulties.  Lost the call and said he had to go off the prem rat fed thru the studio and go thru his isdn computer hook up. Got his guest back on air and the guest sounded the same...but wellsey boy sounded totally flat and all of a sudden had a regular voice! No booming bass!? He must pump it thru some gizzmo to try and sound like the voice of God...what a frigging phony!

I am sure his is proper everyone else's is not...he has a bunch of nit wit "idiot-isms" I can't think of right now...need the bellgabbers help so we can form a list of his suckage as well!

That's funny, I was wondering how much of that voice is processing.

[conbrio]

personally I can't stand the prick almost as much as snoory, don't listen to him.

One more gem from son of Frankenstein. .." welcome to the bridge of the mothership that is coast to coast am...comm. wells sitting in for capt and c.o. jorch snoory as he takes a much deserved day off."   Blah...belch...barf bag please forthwith!

Cometh the hour or some shit. I can't stand Wells. Too pompous and he thinks everything is a conspiracy.

YES EXCELLENT!!!! Go to the head of the class, you get a gold star.
He is a true douchebag...dave and him r good buds...ha ha!

[ItsOver]

Cometh the hour, cometh the crap.  Oh, yeah, that's definitely one that's an eye roller.  Where does PremRat come up with these idiots?  Do they purposely seek the bottom of the barrel for some reason?  You could pay minimum wage and get hosts better than Wells and Noory.  There are college radio station hosts that sound better than the duo of dunces.   PremRat has got to have some kind of suckage requirement.  How Knapp manages to keep his few nights a month is beyond me.  PremRat must have forgotten about him. 

[urbie88]

I always thought Art's intro was classy. When I heard "from the high desert of the great American southwest...." It always felt right. Like a favorite pair of slippers.

When Noory started by apeing the intro with His take on the intro  it was like those favorite slippers developed a hole.

When Wells booms in with his cometh the hour cometh the mothership it's like those slippers were set on fire while still on my feet.

The big exception is George Knapp. I like his intro. But he's classy.

[ItsOver]

Art just sounded natural and right when he did his intro.  Noory sounds like the class dunce, while Wells sounds like the class slacker, just waiting to skip class and hang out with some dope smoking friends.  I don't mind Knapp's intro too much but I'll have to admit it sounds a bit stilted to me.  I cut Knapp a lot of slack on his dry delivery, though, since it's obvious he does put some effort into his shows and tries to do a professional job.

[retired41]

I'm getting mad I don't know about you.

[retired41]

wells is like a old junkie who just can't get a fix.

[ItsOver]

I've got him on in the background but the volume is so low, I just hear this low rumbling sound coming from my speakers.  It's like a white noise generator, heavy on the electronically enhanced bass.

Yep I always have to turn down the bass knob when wells is on 

[Designx]

Most likely a right wing fundamentalist terrorist

[retired41]

we will go into that some other time.

[retired41]

I can't say here now but we'll go into that some other time. and I have 3000 albums. plain crazy man.

[Gd5150]

Wells is cool. It's a shame coast to coast has gotten so boring.

[Designx]

He plays some good music. Enjoy the Zero 7 and Air songs he plays along with some of the old Trip Hop songs. I guess that's one thing nice to say about Wells otherwise I'm not much of a fan of most of the subject matter he has on his programs.

[Jnthn932]

Wells gets a bad rap. Yeah, he's a dick. Yeah, he's arrogant at times. Yeah, he's a crazy conspiracy theorist. He's also engaged and knowledgable about HIS topics. For whatever reason the people who call in when he's on seem to be of higher intellect than the morons that call Dave. How long has he been hosting coast anyway?

[Jocko Johnson]

They have to keep the supporting on air guys worse or equal to dave...or he will look bad.

Bingo!

[Jocko Johnson]

In the very beginning he seemed to have potential.  I wanted so very badly for him to be good and like him...but he quickly went off the rails trying instead of doing a good job opted for the alex jonesing type sky is falling shock jock crap. Jones could be right sometimes but he just goes about it sooo wrong. Over the years he has ah...hmmm  "embellished" to the point that he is now a complete joke and his msg is way lost. AJ..."just google it it's right there." Right...google it right to all his sites! And we all know if it's on the net it's the truth!  Wells does the same by just agreeing with the most absurd crap.
Another wellsyism when he has a nut job just going on and on..."don't let me stop you. You just go ahead...I m just gonna listen...you just talk." Then he interrupts every ten seconds,  as well you can never get a good flow or back and forth since you only get 12-14-16 minutes content before 15-18 minutes of commercials. Just un-listen-able!

Too long.

[ItsOver]

... How long has he been hosting coast anyway?

I recall him showing-up in December of 2011 for Saturday nights.

Same here.  With all the electronic enhancements, he's got a good voice, no doubt.  It didn't take long, though, to see that's all there is to him.  I was really hoping he was going to be a decent host and potentially a replacement for The Nooron.  A few "mothership" and "proper tea" references were enough to illustrate there was no hope.
