Celente is one of George's regulars the mention of whose name sends me screaming into the bushes.

JohnnieB · « **Reply #91 on:** January 09, 2012, 10:15:55 AM »

I dunno, Celente doesn't annoy me half as much as others such as Quayle or the freakin' Numbers Lady ("2 + 2 = 4 x 3 =12 + 7 = 19 - 10 = 9, so yes, you're definitely a nine, George!"), or Linda Mouldy How who desperately needs to gargle with something, pronto. But what kills me about Celente is his forever warning about the impending crash of the American dollar. He then goes on to state (correct me here if I'm wrong) that people need to either invest in gold or silver, or withdraw their money from the banks and find a safe place to keep their moola. Uh...if the dollar is going to crash to less than zero, what's the point of hoarding it?

Segway: I know this doesn't really belong here, but another Coast to Coast peeve of mine are the guests (and Georgie Boy) who, for the past several years have been claiming the NWO's evil wish to reduce the world's population to half a billion. I've heard this time and time again, and still I wait forever in line at the drive-thru and can't find a decent place to park at the mall.

Look, on the one hand, at least Rob Simone can articulate and form coherent sentences, but I find him very bland and vanilla...he's a low frequency vibe kind of guy, and it can put you to sleep. He just doesn't seem to have a lot of passion or energy when he conducts interviews. What a contrast...Simone and Celente! LOL! One with low blood sugar levels and one ingested tranquilizer; one who has consumed three cans of Red Bull and one Starbucks coffee prior to air time!

I thought Rob did a good job during his last hosting assignment. He's different than the other hosts and since his appearances are rare, it takes a bit of adjustment. But, IMO, he was fine.

Rob Simone puts me to sleep. He needs to grow a third nutsack. He sounds so sheepish I want to punch him in the face. They should cut his ears off and give them to Ian.

I don't think Rob Simone's that bad.

I think he does better than Ian Punnett does. And he's not as much a ham as George Knapp is. I had hoped that the producers would have made Simone the replacement for the time slots vacated by Ian's pullout. Simone knows how to ask intelligent questions and run a good interview. He somehow gives me that satisfactory feeling after a show that Art Bell used to. I think there's ground for improvement and development with Simone.

Poor Simone, his thread becomes a spam target.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and the site, so my apologies as I'm sure this question has been answered before, but my net connection is brutally slow right now for some reason so searching for answers is going to take forever.

I must admit, I like Rob Simone. But did he get fired? Did he quit? I haven't heard him in a couple of months. Anyone know what happened to him?

Morgus · « **Reply #98 on:** April 02, 2012, 06:27:59 PM »

There is already a pinned "Rob Simone" thread in this section, you might want to read the many posts there for more info on him.
Simone isn't a regular c2c host, he has some local radio show someplace and just fills one night sometimes when Noory is on a vacation like at the end of the year.
So no firing/quitting/disappearing - just wait a few months since there are other fill-in hosts that tend to get used first before him.

Decent show tonight with RS.
One of the first nights in a while I didn't turn the show off midway through and just listen to the "Fine Art" Art Bell stream.

What a relief it is!!!

Morgus · « **Reply #101 on:** April 14, 2012, 04:10:09 AM »

Simone got a lot of Noory's frequent callers during open lines tonight.
Old Bill the atheist amateur astronomer even called in to remind everybody he is an athiest.
A bunch of callers called in to refer to guests from earlier in the week that were on with Noory, and several were the usual religious nuts complaining that guests talk about their new age ideas without mentioning Jesus...

I turned it on half way through the show and it is nice to to have my intelligence insulted every few minutes. Between Noory and Wells, I have had a hard time listening to more than an hour at a stretch lately.

I think you may have forgot to place a "NOT" somewhere.

It was nice to hear him tonight.

stevesh · « **Reply #104 on:** April 14, 2012, 04:54:22 AM »

Even Noory being MIA couldn't save C2C last night. Simone is OK, but the first two hours starred some guy with some 'theory of everything' that he couldn't begin to articulate. Shades of David Wilcock. And isn't it possible to have a guest on C2C, just once, who doesn't feel the need to babble on about Jesus ?

The callers to Open Lines were worse than usual (which is saying something). Boring, blithering idiots and two of them obviously drunk. Can't someone train the C2C producers to recognize a drunk and keep him/her off the air ?

Well...That is what listening to Noory for too many nights in a row results in; my IQ has been lowered to a point where I start missing words and mispronounce things.

(Fine, my missing the word may not be Noory related.)

George didn't even host last night yet people are still blaming him for a crappy show hahahaha

I would say 3 drunks and 1 that was doped up on downers.

Vatar · « **Reply #108 on:** April 14, 2012, 07:56:12 AM »

I think the real problem is that when someone was whipping up a batch of C2C they accidentally poured the whole bottle of pseudo-science instead of just a dash. Analogous to this would be the quirky college professor who teaches a modern conspiracies class and starts to believe the crap he is teaching. Slowly people are going to stop registering for the class the crazier he gets.

Now on topic I really like Rob Simone he has a a great voice for radio unlike snoory and he seems to ask the right questions of the guests. As other people have mentioned previously he is one of the only hosts that doesn't cause me to turn the radio off.

Lovely Bones · « **Reply #109 on:** April 14, 2012, 10:14:20 AM »

I missed Simone last night, but I'll add my general impression of him: he goes down smoothly (which is more than I can say for the current "ship's crew," as per Wells), although I have yet to feel the excitement I've sometimes felt with Knapp and Ian.

Of course, we've had only a small sample of Simone, so perhaps that's not fair.

Either which way, I'd take him over the current rotation of 3 any day.

margoloo · « **Reply #110 on:** April 14, 2012, 11:53:56 AM »

I just don't get how Rob Simone got this job. He is boring beyond belief. Sounds like a teenager trying to impress. Years spent studying all these strange phenomena? Please. He is 16 years old.
I'm sure he is a nice enough kid, but he just doesn't have the intellect or gravitas to carry a show like this. I am also sick of C2C turning into a Come to Jesus forum. I find myself unable to finish listening to most shows, due to utter boredom.

Take your word for that. On the show, he's a little too laid back for me - reminds me of the bear in the old Sugar Crisp TV commercials.

Was the guy who didn't want to ramble on about religion even though he was, drunk?

CANNOT make it through his shows. Perhaps it's his prepubescent voice, dull topics, or his scheduled guests--or ALL the above. His enthusiasm for the show appears to be there, I'll give him credit, but I'm disappointed each and every time he fills in for Snoory. I'm getting to the point I'd rather hear a 'Best of C2C' rebroadcast or perhaps dead air.

By "goes down smoothly" I meant as in "I don't leap out of bed ready to punch him in the face" as I do with Snooron.

All things are relative, I guess, when it comes to C2C hosts.

And I'll be honest. I ditched his fill-in show this week to listen to a replay of Ian from 2006 discussing the Black Dahlia case.

ZombiePoppa · « **Reply #117 on:** April 15, 2012, 03:20:18 PM »

I think Rob's okay. His voice is a little to NPR-y for me, but it seems like he actually pays attention to the guest and has follow-up questions or comments that are a little more substantive than "that's true" or "something strange is happening, that's for sure".

wvghost · « **Reply #118 on:** April 21, 2012, 03:14:39 AM »

I think Rob is pretty good. A lot better than Noory.

He asks decent questions and keeps the show moving along well.

Glad to hear similar positive feedback about Simone from others. I had previously commented (« Reply #95 on: March 08, 2012, 04:47:21 AM ») as follows:
