Coast To Coast AM with Rich Berra

[sean92008]

A very decent night for Rich Berra. Good guests and good sound quality. Spontaneous conversation with little or any use of pre-arranged cue card questions. And a good control of the sad sack caller parade.

Yet, I still screamed at the radio when he was talking over the guest! God fucking damn it, let the fucking guy with the knowledge talk!

Yeah, I've been listening to this guest. Dude is sharp and he's not some snake oil salesman. In fact, I'm getting the feeling that some of that snake oil might cause more problems...¾

Berra did a better job with the second guest. Too much talking over Ashton Forbes! An interview with the Orbs Dude requires intelligence and finesse.

Researcher of secret underground and underwater bases and tunnels, Richard Sauder, joins guest host Rich Berra (email) for a discussion of secret hidden bunkers and cities for the uber wealthy and elite that are all over the world. He’ll report on recent revelations made by a former George H.W. Bush administration official who confirmed more than $21 trillion was spent to build underground tunnels in the event of an "extinction event." Followed by Open Lines in the latter half.

Rich Berra kept his guest Richard Sauder on for the full 4hrs instead of open lines.
Though some sad packers still got thru including Cornelius.

Back around the time DMDN was hitting its stride, Jimmy Church had Sauder on his "Fade to Black" show.  Despite him having been brought on to talk underground bases, he was all over the map with crazed stream of consciousness rants. He was an absolute train wreck, sounded like a paranoid psychotic gone off his meds.  He steamrolled Church, he had trouble even getting a word in edgewise. Sauder was a first rate dick.  I could be wrong, but I think Church gave him the boot early.

There was a lively discussion of that show the next day on Bellgab.  That was back in the honeymoon period of DMDN/Church when he was not only very popular among the BG masses, but routinely posted on his thread and chatted with us.  As I recall, he was not amused.  I also think the Sauder appearance was the "jump the shark" show for Church/FTD for some of us.  That was about the time he insinuating Bell had hand picked him to "fill in" and "keep his seat warm" until his non-compete expired.  Bell denied even having known/met him. The ridiculous "Malibu undersea base" story wasn't far behind, soon to be followed by his stint as a C2C rent-a-host.  Church went from Bellgab favorite to forum whipping boy in pretty short order.

Did Thomas call at all last night? Thomas would have had so many opportunities for a great question. The guy had, what, five or six books to sell? I didn't listen a lot, but any guy sounding like an old Indian elder with knowledge of the white man's world is intriguing for some reason it's like hearing a woman talk about CVT transmissions. It's just kind of out of place feeling.

I did hear the part where Rich kind of talked about holding him over for the open lines part of the show and then made it sound like he forgot to mention all the books earlier and that might have been the reason why he held them over. I don't know I just kind of read that into the comment five other books, I'm presuming that that was six books he was promoting then.

I like Rich although I had issues with him early on because he talked over people a lot. He used to work on a morning zoo. He was part of a really nutty show where talking over each other was part of the energy.

Rich Berra did reveal last night that he used to work in San Diego at the KGB radio station.

Let's just say this, I listened to radio a lot and I never listened to Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw. Chainsaw was kind of that stereotypical sports guy with a big fake voice and talked fast.  He tried to stretch that bit into other media, I don't think he was successful. But they were big in San Diego.

I had no idea they made movies, so Rich might have been part of that...

As a completely useless bit of trivia... There was a dentist office pretty close to the old KGB studios. It was at that dentist office that I last saw Scott Weiland. It was a strange coincidence, I was visiting a former bandmate who was working at the Social Security office nearby when I just kind of was standing there and he walked right up. Now, both of them are dead... Must be a harbinger.

Berra had an interesting choice for who he would like to see play Noory in the supposedly upcoming Art Bell movie ... Tom Selleck. Yowzah!

My thought about that comment:  Brown-nosing suck-up.

I would hope the movie would be only about Art Bell in the years BEFORE Noory appeared!

Who is the call screener tonight? A few actual good calls in the first segment, significantly, Fred from Colorado. He sounded like Art's mysterious old friend who was a regular caller for Heather. She always wanted to do an entire show with him. He would always decline saying he had too much classified information.

Regular caller Cornelius got in near the end of the show last night and again mentioned he is unable to change his clothes or socks for over a year. He thinks he has the syndrome that Celine Dion has.

Is Celine Dion a felon?
