Is there a site, here or elsewhere, where folks live blog the shows? I'd love to catch some of these gems as they happen

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

One guy did it almost nightly for a few weeks, and he went mad. He Wandered out into the desert with some oil paints and a Johnny Cash t-shirt on and we haven't seen him since.

Michael Vandeven tried to do a live commentary simulcast on the Coastgab stream but it gave him an ice-cream headache and he gave up after 10 minutes.

So, no not really. You could try in a new thread here, but I'm warning you that it doesn't appear to be good for your health.

Ian Punnett is obviously telling his barber to give him the Alex Jones cut. Is it just me or does he look like Alex Jones these days?

Yeah, both Ian and Alex have a Flowbee.

Does anyone recently remember Ian talking to Noory and Ian was completely sleep deprived?!? OMG it was hilarious, he was talking complete giberish and Noory cut him off PDQ. He was still more entertaining than "Snoory"! LOL

I think Ian's OK, but he's sort of like a half-douche too. It's great when he calls idiots out, but sometimes his logic is off and he calls people out for things he probably shouldn't. He has a great radio name... Ian Punnett. Sounds very distinguished!

Ian laughed about it and said "since last night, the theories have been plentiful and entertaining, but I was just really tired, nothing interesting really." lol Ian. Sure....... haha. Glad he was OK.

Ian looks like a young William Windham.

That was right around the time Mel Gibson's girlfriend recorded him drunk calling and being an ass.

For some reason Ian needed to bring up that call, compare it to his, and declare himself a much better person than Mel Gibson. He did this several times over several nights.

Deacon Punnett puffed out his chest and called Gibson on the racist portion of the rant, said it would never even occur to him to say anything like that just 'maybe if someone was holding a gun to his kids head'. Seriously. Not long after, Friar Punnett was making ethnic jokes of his own 'what was the Welsh Roswell incident? - it was just like the one here, only cheaper'.

Yeah, not a big Ian fan somehow.

I thought he was having a stroke or TIA. I still think it could have been a TIA. Happened to an even younger person I know when he was driving and talking gibberish to people on his cell phone..when he arrived at his girlfriends house she took him straight to the ER but it cleared up soon after with no real treatment..and they can be a warning for a more serious stroke later. BUt maybe it was just sleep...if IAN drank alcohol we could blame that.

I laughed so hard I nearly shit my pants. It was just hilarious to hear it. You can still hear it on YouTube here:

http://youtu.be/dGhkUdNfvnc

He's such a fucking tool. I couldn't help but think he must have been up all night wired for sound and completely out of it and George pulled rank on his ass and made him call in "for the team" and Ian never wanted to in the first place but had to, LOL.

As I said, his logic is a bit skewed at times but his tool factor makes up for it in spades.

Good stuff, this thread CAN NEVER let him live that shit down, LOL.

Agree, you could tell that George wasn't listening or has heard/seen him in that state before, LOL. George is SUCH a tool, his moments are even funnier because they come with full consciousness.

You KNOW he reads his own thread on here too, I refuse to believe he doesn't. He probably has a secret account and posts among the group. The sign of a true D-list celebrity, LOL.

GSD · « **Reply #1603 on:** August 20, 2011, 02:44:18 AM »

Anybody else think that Ian looks like he might be polishing George's knob? He looks VERY envious of George in photos and such, almost like he's star struck. Someone needs to Photoshop something together and post it, so fucking hilarious.

Ian following up with David Elkington on the metal books found in Jordan, theCodices, and how they just might date back biblical times. Then, Soros tool, malcontent, ne'er-do-well, and propagandist, Russ Baker, complaining about the lack of consistency and common sense behind the Bin Ladin raid. Paul Bishop on police interrogations, and how you should always look a cop in the eye when you're lying to him. Ian says he plan on doing a show with Spinal Tap megastar, Harry Shear, as co-host. Interesting. Lots of ELO music tonight. I use to own "Out of the Blue" back in the seventies. I really dug it back then, maybe I still do.

I did like the way Ian nailed Russ Baker on one of his "points."

"Now wait a minute," Ian said, "Where did you get that from?"

Baker hemed and hawed.... Ian pressed him, and pointed out that there were inconsistencies in what Baker was claiming.

Would Noory have EVER done that?

It never would have crossed his mind. Noory doesn't believe in inconsistencies.

I'll usually listen if it's on, I'm just sick of his too-mainstream shows, general news devoted to 3 hours, and religion (bashing). The only religion show I enjoyed was his scientology show, only because I don't think a lot of us understood the truth about that cult. But authors of nothing of general interest, also boring.

the rest of the time, I'll listen to a bit, then move on if it's a boring topic and find some art bell repeats online somewhere. I miss his cryptid shows and stuff like that, seems like now he's going more for the verifyable news not being covered nationwide elsewhere segment.

The out there stuff made the show entertaining, and got it it's listener's...we can hear about the "normal" stuff the other 20 hours a day.

Quote from: Spikegirl on April 06, 2008, 07:37:15 PM

I like Ian and agree that he can do an intelligent show. He asks questions that are relevant and calls his guests out on anything that catches his BS detector. It did take me a few months to get used to him, I have to admit. In the beginning, I felt he was too goofy and was trying too hard to be funny. I have gotten used to him now and compared to Noory, is a pleasure to listen to. His guests as of late have not been very interesting, however. Still, he manages to do a good interview and at least I get to hear two grown ups having a discourse. Something that is not possible on Coast Monday through Friday. I also enjoyed Rollye, while she was there and am in heaven when that sexy voiced John Welles fills in once in a very blue moon.

Hey man!

Disappointing many, Ian reschedules the "zombie show" and focuses on hurricane Irene instead. Weatherman John Coleman doesn't know what the big deal is. Howard Bloom can't be too careful. Captain Kelly Sweeney advises all ships to get out of port. Stan Dayo...eh...I forgot what he was talking about, and astrologer Mark Lerner said that Saturn began a new 30 year cycle (the time it takes to orbit the sun) this morning, and he suggest we all begin anew as well. Thank you, Saturn, and good luck. Ian continues to battle "Osama on Ice" conspiracist, and how come whenever anyone talks to Deacon Punnett about religion it usually winds up getting ugly? Oh, well.

I have been wondering if this is the same guest who did the fictional zombie apocalypse show a couple of years ago? That one is on my "top ten" list of most disliked shows.

I only heard a short "snippet" from last night, and it was a religious caller. I was actually pretty pround of Ian holding her feet to the fire. It was good to hear him demand proof of her claim that the earthquake and hurricane and signs from God that we need to support Israel more. She was unable to explain why this earthquake and hurricane were signs, but did state that not all were. I think he even would have been forced to accept a ridiculous reasons such as "I had a vision", but this caller could not even offer that- she could only state that it must be a sign and rambled about the bible and the ancient past.

I know that he does mention his past pretty regular in regards to religion... however, he seems less willing than George to let the complete nut jobs espouse their views unchallenged. Callers like this making it on the air on a very regular basis make me doubt that Art will be back on C2C. The core audience has changed and he would no longer stand a chance with the caller the "new" main host has attracted.

That guest was Max Brooks, author of "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z".

That show is in my top ten best. How come you didn't like it?

I can answer that -- unlike most C2C topics, the whole zombie thing is entirely rooted in fiction as they gloss over the real issues of zombies (in Haiti, etc.) and instead go to a bunch of nerdy speculation on the fictional movie types . . . it's like dweebs spending hours debating about the efficacy of Star Wars, a four-hour tech manual blab about something that isn't even remotely plausible. One can't even approach it as folklore. So for Ian to devote so much time to it is just stupid. He should save that zealousness for the next time he goes to a comic book convention.

that's the thing about zombies. the only way something like that would work is if MAGIC were involved. and since we're all grown ups .... yawn

if the brain is dead - no running. no higher brain functions to create prey hunting strategies. no plausible scientific explanation for it. now if there was a super virulent / weaponized form of rabies ... well ... kiss your ass goodbye. cause that would be UGLY. like "28 Days Later"

Stan Dayo...eh...I forgot what he was talking about

Stan Deyo told some more about the information he learned from the Hopi.
He said from them and other sources, the sun will be heating up dramatically in the next few years possibly 2012-2013.
It will get so hot and burn areas on the earth forcing people to live underground for a period of time.
He mentioned other stars when they have burned about half of their hydrogen fuel (like our sun is now at that point) can suddenly act different and even swell up.
This all sounds like it tracks with Major Ed Dames' "solar kill shot" scenario, where he saw in the future survivors living underground like in lava tubes and the only food source was green algae.

Poll

What do you listen to when you can't take C2C anymore?
