I hear Frys Girl has one picked out for ya!

Anyone get a hint as to what Ian's announcement was?

Anyone get a hint as to what Ian's announcement was?

I just saw his Tweet, too.

I didn't guess, but I hope it's that Art is doing the New Years show this year. That would be my best guess. Or Ian is doing it. That seems more likely.

[Mel(apostrophe)s Hole]

No.

Now must wait until Saturday?

"Ian Punnett: It always goes by so quick. Remember, a bit of an announcement this Saturday night, first hour. The guest will be talking about government agencies that are putting GPS devices on cars and then . . . "

(Am a chagrined Streamlink member, but used the membership to pop over to the transcript from last night to see if he revealed anything.)

Love George's haters here! 

[Abraham Lincoln]

Here's Ian's Tweet from about an hour ago:

"@deaconpunnett
Ian Punnett
Remember, I have an officially sanctioned C2C announcement in the first hour this Sat. night. I won't tell you "warmer" but any guesses?"

[11angeleyes11]

Honestly, Abe, Ian like you cannot tell a lie.  I pray that the Deacon will be performing hosting duties on New Year's Eve.  It is after all New Year's Eve when he will be hosting.  It is his regularly scheduled night because New Year's Eve this year is on a Saturday night. 

[General Johnson Jameson]

Honestly, Abe, Ian like you cannot tell a lie.  I pray that the Deacon will be performing hosting duties on New Year's Eve.

You honestly don't believe that do you? There are some pretty whacked out "Deacons" in this World. There is nothing about Ian Pooonit's face or deameanor that tells me he is an honest, Godly man. He has the look of a woodchuck in bad need of Rogaine.

[Mel(apostrophe)s Hole]

Yes, Ian has a few more grey cells than Whorge, but he doesn't value his guests any more than George does. Eee-yon (Isn't there an open line regular who calls him this? Makes me laugh every time.) merely waits for a pause in the conversation so that he can insert his lame jokes. One of many examples: I loved listening to Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince some time back (I know, I know...they're entertaining to me), but cringed every time Ian leapt in with his weak attempts at wordplay. Just like Snore-on's, Ian's guests laugh uncomfortably and try to discreetly pick up the thread...

He does seem more at ease and isn't trying quite so hard to impress everyone with his Deaconship, though, he does drag its tired carcass out and drop it in a guest's lap if he feels they don't fully appreciate the fact that he's a Divinitatis Doctor.

It seemed revealing when he used to talk about his older brother to whom he apparently looks up. He always sounded like the kid brother who was trying to measure up in big bro's eyes.

He seems to have weathered his health challenges this year with good humor. I often forget that he suffers from tinnitus. It must be maddening.

[Paper*Boy]

Maybe he's finally coming out.  Or getting out.

[Agent : Orange]

Something tells me this announcement means Ian's days are numbered. But maybe it will turn out to be a positive thing.

[Silent]

I listened to this past Saturday's show two nights ago and I don't think this announcement has anything to do with Ian leaving.  Somewhere either at the end or beginning of an hour he brought up this announcement and used the words fun and big.  Unless he's having a big going away party maybe.

I try to stay off the conspiracy wagon BUT the last several times Art came out of retirement Ian was the one to make the announcement, something he was particularly proud of.  I don't think that's what is going on here but I'll admit that was my first thought when he started touting this announcement.  Mainly because of the history involved.

[Agent : Orange]

Interesting and good to know. I haven't had the chance to listen on weekends for the past few months so I'm glad to hear it isn't an announcement about Wells taking over.

[stevesh]

the last several times Art came out of retirement Ian was the one to make the announcement

Your lips to God's ear.

[Paper*Boy]

Maybe he's announcing George's entry into the Radio Hall of Fame.

[TaoOfLuxLisbon]

He said "It'll be fun" last week.....so I assume it's nothing bad like he's leaving.

Considering his guest is about GPS tracking......I wouldn't be shocked if Ian is introducing his own personal GPS tracking app so you can know where he is at all times. Seriously, between that and his Twitter talk, guy is a total geek. But I like him.

To all forum viewers,

I have two different issues to address.

1st:  After joining, I have spent time looking over this website.  You all seem to have one thing in common. . .You do not like the present state of C2C.  Mostly, you all seem to hate the hosts and how they conduct the shows business.  I read this all the time, "Art Bell is the greatest ever. . . George sucks...  Ian sucks..."  Almost everyone on this site has something bad to say about C2C. (Not everyone. Most everyone.)

But despite that, it seems everyone keeps listening to the program.  Your days seem to be filled with how much you dislike the radio show and everything about it. You all pat yourselves on the back regarding how witty and insulting you can be.  Sorry, that side of the website I can live without.  I do not think it adds anything to my life. I do like open opinions and mindedness. (is that even a word, mindedness?  Sounds like something George would have said. You all seem to think he says the darnest things.)     

I will agree that Art Bell was good in his day.  But he has chosen to leave C2C and live the good life outside of the USA.  Why?  I have listened to many of his past programs and I do think he was a better host than George.  But come on people. . .lets move on.  Bell left the show years ago.  Art also had his own problems and quirks.  (Which were quite strange in themselves)   Far different from George's quirks.  All I am trying to say is all people are different. George will never be Art.  Art will never be Ian. . .That's it.  Lets get over it.

2nd: My last rant (it is tied to the first rant, in an abscure way). . .  I think many of you know this, but you need to hear it again.   
C2C is only a "product".  A product of money making, money loving con artist that will sell you anything.  They have George as the host because he will do anything they ask.  George is a "go along boy".
Art was not.

Most, (if not all) of these guests that are on the show are only selling their own crap and issues.  Crap and issues that they can then sell to the people that listen to the program.  Their crap & issues, (books & ideas) are all "widget's".  (widget: A self created item of minimal use.)
In marketing, the best way to sell something is to create, (make up) a demand for the product you want to sell.  Even if that demand was never there before.  All you have to do is make something up so that people will think they need it.   That type of capitalism has been going on far to long.  I love free enterprize.  I love new ideas.  I love the good ol'USA.  But, We the people are beginning to find it hard to believe anything we are told any more.   We are mislead into thinking the "crap & issues" we are told, should be important to us.  Only to find out later it was only important because someone has a new book to sell. 

One of the only reasons I listen to C2C, is because I find it fascinating that people will "buy" into just about anything they are told.  The entire program, from its commercials to many of it's guests,  are nothing but Money loving, Money grubbing twisters of the truth.  They will say and do anything to make money.  These lovers of money have turned the people of this country into mindless cattle.  I for one do not like what they have done.  You can still make money in this country by not lying to everyone.

I look forward to all of your responses.  I can't wait to read what everyone has to say.  Defend yourselves people.  I just slapped you into reality.

now he has posted the same tirade in at least 4 separate threads.
isn't there a forum rule about excessive cross-posting?
thats a technique used by trolls to attempt to disrupt threads I've noticed, a coincidence?

i only listen to the show during the weekend when noory does not host.  i realized a while back that practically all of noory's shows are straight up terrible

To all forum viewers,

I have two different issues to address . . . I just slapped you into reality.

Well, here's a slap into reality:  If you were one of my students, you'd get a failing grade.  You've managed to blunder with several logical fallacies -- straw man, for instance -- under the guise of argument.

On the first point, you should take your own advice and move on if you can live without reading the criticism on this page.  People here do love C2C, and what those who criticize it lament is its decline. 

On your second point . . . well, I'm not entirely sure what your second point was about.

If it was about people selling things, there is an obvious line between marketing and hucksterism, and I don't believe everyone on C2C is "lying" entirely or even partially or even regularly simply to sell things to people. 

Once again, if you are troubled by this, why don't you take your own advice and switch to something else?  Ordinarily, I wouldn't advise that, but you offered this obvious solution.

Noory just reported on the upcoming holiday c2c schedule and mentioned Ian will be hosting the annual New Year's Eve show.
He may have just let the cat out of the bag in regards to Ian's announcement tomorrow...
