Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

No
No

  All right.  Dave plays "Boston" and "Kansas."  I guess Thuh Haters at least make good music recommendations.  Even though it's probably Boston's most well known song, "More Than a Feeling" will always be a favorite of mine.  I've got an old interview somebody did with Scholz where he talks about how "Walk Away Renee," a classic from The Left Banke, was an inspiration for "More Than a Feeling."  Art really should consider getting Scholz on his show.  Scholz will probably be doing another tour with the band next year, with the release of a new album, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind the opportunity for a little additional PR.

I'd also recommend adding "Peace of Mind" to their Boston selections, if they don't already have it on their rotation.  Also add the non-Boston selection of "A Day Late and a Dollar Short," too. 

Back to my "Praise Be,  Art's Coming Back" celebration.   ;D

Didn't think he'd do it, but yeah, got both my Boston and Kansas - I think Dave likes me - LOL

Just "spit ballin'" here.  I wonder how many folks will drop their "Coast Insiders" account in favour of Art Bell's Sirus XM membership, depending on whether or not they can afford only one account?

I think time is a factor as well.  Even if C2C was decent, I could not afford to listen every night for seven or eight hours of radio.  For me it's only one show, and that's going to be Dark Matter.

Flipper must have put in a good word for you Roy when he was having a smoke after his "happy dance" with Dave.  ;)

Yeah, I bet that's the most action Dave's seen in years!

Hahaha...I guess we don't have to ask Dave "how was your weekend?"  ;D

On a side note, Flipper went on to suffer severe, life-long depression after discovering he had had his way with terrestrial talk show host Dave Noorie.  Flip was quoted as saying, "I've scrubbed and I've scrubbed, but I just feel so dirty."

Well, I'm slathered up with Grecian Formula, the pizza rolls are at a comfortable 640 degrees, and from that .gif you can see I had a good day. Everyone is Noortastic this evening, I trust?

Bateman, add "Art Retires Again, Fuck! Drink. Call Jorch." later in the month.

I think we might get a few random "Hope yewwr all well" posts but it seems for the most part George is done interacting with us.

It's a shame it's so short lived, I wanted to see it last at least two months. Real change happens after two months of consistent effort.

I'm thinking he has a different computer situation. He said he's in St. Louis last night. I'll bet he's probably watching but not logged in, and someone will eventually say something that gets his goat and he breaks down and logs on. I maintain that I think there's more here than just simple PR or corporate motives. I think we're useful, sort of like an unbiased soundboard. I think he also wants to keep his enemies close. I'd certainly find that useful, especially if I was facing a probable drop in Coast Insider subscriptions, which is what I think the real threat is from Art's new show.

I don't think this train wreck is over. If Premiere keeps airing Art's Somewhere in Time shows while he's on the air with the new show, we could see some great stuff. I'm personally hoping for Art to use one of George's Elvis songs as bumper music.

It's 11:11 here, gotta go get my marching orders from the NWO.

I think it just comes down to media people and sensationalism. George is an old news director, he's trained in determining what stories will resonate the most with an audience. If the majority of your audience are parents, for example, dead baby stories go a long way with TSL.

You *are* persistent; I'll give you that. You really do know your talking points. You could be a politician or a pundit. ;) On a serious note, I'm not referring to just the news at the start of the show. I'm talking about comments, questions, asides, and strangely long pauses that take place throughout the show. They're weird, and no other host shares his fixation and obsession with such horrible stuff. Like I previously said, he might not even realize what huge turn-offs the dead baby references are. That's all I'll say on the subject, and you may have the last word. 8)

George and crew got/are getting exactly what they wanted. They have created a Pavlovian mindset with some. If he doesn't show up at the expected time or if he doesn't  show up at all, it  actually appears to matter to some.

Well, I think it falls into three categories in order of how much it happens: 1. Misunderstanding 2. Lying 3. Something else . . .

There are certainly quite a few something else's out there. There's a weird one up on Art's site right now about some Russian hikers that disappeared in the 50's. I dug in further than the article, and it's definitely very odd specifically due to radioactivity found in the hiker's clothing.

We're on the same page there. As a compliment to George, I have to admire his endurance when he interviews tons of guests whose tales fit the first two slots in your post. That has to be exhausting. Not all of the abductions and channellings can be true, and some of the claims are so outlandish that "outlandish" is too weak of a word to categorize them.

The Dyatlov Pass story is one of the best, and it definitely fits into the third category. The Travis Walton story does too. I share your doubts on most of the abduction claims, but he and his co-workers all passed polygraph tests, and their claims stayed consistent. It's the gold standard.

I wouldn't make it very far in politics. Think "Fun things for the emperor" taxes and an army of cloned Noories oppressing everyone.

The last word shall be hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

It's George "Flipper" Noory telling dead guppy tales.

That would be the satellite division. If last night's guest is correct, they'll beam the info into your brain.

You would be the last one I would point that finger at! I accept your rescindition, well, you know what I mean 8)
