Repeat Offenders (aka Chronic Callers)

[haloedorchid]

Has anyone ever noticed how there are a few people who call in repeatedly to the show?

The main guy who stands out for me is named Bob, or Bill, or some other exceedingly common name that escapes me.  I've heard him several times both when Ian and George host the show.  He always starts off on a tirade about how he and his wife had to take in his daughter's "two little girls" because the parents decided to abandon them.  He throws that in no matter what the issue he's calling about.. like he feels he deserves props on an internationally broadcasted show for doing a stand-up thing. 

Then I noticed that Craig the truck driver from Colorado called back on a recent program.  The first time he was on is when he started off the phone call by berating George Noory and telling him how much he sucks compared to Ian Punnett.  He may have had a few points there but his method of delivery of the criticism was too childish to take seriously.  But I love George's lame response after he dumped him:  "You, my friend, should learn some manners."

There was also another guy who recently called about allegedly having information about the 9/11 attacks because he worked for Osama bin Laden as some kind of a contractor.  He said bin Laden divulged information to him, but never explained WHY or why he (the caller) didn't go to the authorities before or right after the attack.  I don't think this guy called Coast to Coast numerous times, but I listen to a lot of talk radio and he has definitely been making the rounds on some other circuits. 

It's common knowledge that a lot of people who call in the show suffer some sort of a mental or personality disorder, but the people who keep calling and rehashing the same psychobabble are in a completely delusional league of their own....

hehe - yeah, I've noticed.  Though I gotta say Noory creeped me out recently when a women admitted to having called 2 or three weeks previously - "We have a 30 day rule you know"  Says Snoory. I had this funny feeling he was getting off on lorind it over this woman - who - from the sound of her voice, may have been elderly.  Then, just as I was about to dismiss that idea as my own notion, and no more - Snory said, in this finger-wagging voice that made my skin crawl "Tommy, Do Your JOB!"

Good LORD!

I noticed that when Art had his prediction shows, he had a lot of callers calling in from Canada. I remember when Art was hosting on a regular basis, he always had many callers from Canada. The few times that I have listened to Snoory, it seems like no one from Canada calls him. It seems that all of Canada has turned of Snoory. Ian can barely get callers from the U.S. to call him. He was urging people to call tonight as he had several open lines. Pathetic.

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, he said he was thrown in jail (for something he didn't do?) the night before 9/11 and no one believed him when he tried to tell the guards about the impending attack. It was pretty silly.
