so nice to listen to Coast and not feel like you've done brain damage to yourself by listening. Ian had a National Geographic editor/writer/Egyptologist/archaeologist lady on as his guest, they hopped from subject to subject and place to place, an interesting conversation between 2 intelligent people. Now had Noory had this woman on it would have been a conversation between an intelligent person and an imbecile. He'd have come to numerous awkward pauses and blurted out non-sequiturs vaguely related 'Ann we had the late Zechariah Sitchin on the show several times. Did you know him?' 'Do you believe extra-terrestrials built the pyramds?' 'Have you ever heard of evil spirits being released when the archaeology people open up a secret door like in Indiana Jones or something like that?'
whoa, Walt da Atheist on fire tonight, just called in on open lines. Last night he told the guest who believes in an afterlife that religion/God is just 'an ape beating his chest, we have created a mighty god in our own image. Now he just told Ian 'Yaweh is a hypocritical ogre, a mass murderer.' Ian enjoys Walt so calmly replied telling him there's a difference between the Divine and the God Walt was describing. Theological babble. Walt wasn't given the opportunity to rebut.
Or, even maybe Norry would ask about crystal skulls:
Norry: All excited, "Have you heard or seen the crystal skulls?" "I have seen them personally."
The Guest: "I have studied them in Egyptian lore, but I have not witnessed their power in my presence."
Norry: "Did you know that I have a crystal skull?"
The Guest: "No, tell me about this so that I can share it with my colleagues."
Norry: "It is in my head, my skull, The Woo Lady I had on last night told me that my skull was crystalized and cracked."
The Guest: In utter fascination, "Ahhhh, that explains a lot."
