Tis 5 of Punnett and a quick perusal of the Coast to Coast website says that during tonight's SNP, Ian will have, get this, some guy going under the alias "Scott" to tell us about something called a "Man-Dog" that he recently saw. Noory bless you, IP. Looking forward to hearing this oddity.

I expect a pipe mention tonight, for sure, as Ian has some Doctor on to talk about the health benefits of tobacco for the full show guest. Sounds strangely interesting.

Odd. Right before the promo for Tuesday's C2C, some clown came on to say, "Here's your Coast to Coast AM promo for Tuesday." Yeah, thanks.

Here we go ... we're rolling ... Punnett, you're live !

IP is doing a mic check. He asks "Dave" if it sounds good. Odd night, so far. Ian sounds like he's talking through a sock.

Nice, Ian's going to do something irresponsible. Oh, he's hyping to pro-tobacco guy. Geez, I thought IP was going to bring Biscardi back or something.

Crypto-news : Hurricane in Gulf Coast (how is that crypto ?), TX farmer may have found a chupacabra (that's better), Ian kissing Hoagland's posterior, something about a "space boulder". I think I missed a story somewhere in there.

Core of Earth is spinning faster than outside. Ian wants to harness it for energy. Prototype super villain thoughts, Ian.

Throwback to last week's painful first hour relating to the medical industry. Merck is doing something wrong ... again.

More hype for the doctor who is pro-tobacco.

Howard Bloom throwback related to terror arrest in Turkey. Cyberterrorism.

Feds on alert in Kentucky and Tennessee. Aviation fuel stolen. Wow, an "aviation fuel" story on C2C instead of the usual "avian flu", whodathunkit ?

Ian implies Southerners use aviation fuel for BBQ's. Ouch.

Greece being accused of stealing a kidney. Sounds like one of those urban legends you hear about Vegas.

Ah, bird flu story. That's better. More, "it's a matter of if, not when" again. Ugh. The rich get protected in Britain, not the poor. How is that news ?

Lingering story ... Ohio scream. Ah, I remember that. Nice, Ian's going to replay the scream. Damn, scream coming up after the break. Damn you Ian Punnett and your crafty cliffhanger !

COMMERCIAL BREAK

I've not yet received my advance copy of this week's "Grey Matters", but in one of her furtive missives, Lesley hinted that it may be about Biscardi and his implosion over the last week. Don't hold me to that, though. Meanwhile, Lesley's got a veritable library of amazing editions of "Grey Matters" that are just waiting your perusal @ binnallofamerica.com. Go there and check them out. Also, here's Lesley's blog, home of a rapid fire stream of news and musings : http://thedebrisfield.blogspot.com/

END OF BREAK

Here it comes ... the scream. No known origin. The press and police are investigating it.

Yikes. I think I crapped my pants. Seriously, though, I think it is just a bunch of drunken teenagers.

Ian plays it again.

Sounds like Ric Flair after a night at the bar.

Ian reads an e-mail from "Cindy" regarding her experience with "the scream". Ah, it's a segue into "Scott" the "Man-Dog" witness. Can't wait.

Scott is the most honest person Cindy knows. Oh, okay, that kills my doubt.

Man, with dog head, on the side of the road, eating a dead deer. The Man-Dog was making ... the scream ! Dum, dum, dum !

Whoah. Where's "Man-Dog" Scott. Ian just wants to hear from more witnesses. How outrageous, no Scott despite the C2C billing as such. Ugh.

Ian opens up phone lines and some guy calls in to complain about the weather. He has some half-baked idea.

Ian sorta blows him off.

Dude in Ohio has heard the sound. Not Scott, but Brett. He wants to know how someone got it on tape. Good question.

Ian says someone recorded it and sent to a newspaper.

Brett is freaked out by the scream. Ian plays it again. Brett craps his pants (I think).

Ian notes that technology makes it easier to get more data from odd sightings. He expects more in the future. Ian Punnett, modern day Nostradamus.

More hype for pro-tobacco guy. Ian promises to read e-mails about "giant sex". This is too easy for a joke.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

binnall of america : audio, Season One is shaping up to be the groundbreaking, historical, and paradigm shifting series we'd hoped it would become. Beginning September 10th and continuing through the rest of 2005, BoA : Audio, S1 will step behind the curtain on a host of esoteric topics. I've listened to enough esoteric radio, now it is time for some alchemical audio as only BoA can.

9.10.5 : Season Premiere : Jim Marrs (Part 1 of 2)

Be there.

END OF BREAK

I'm still disappointed and confused as to why "Scott" the dude who saw Man-Dog never showed up. I doubt we'll get an explanation for that one. Perhaps this is another salvo in IP's war to take down SNP ? Stay tuned.

Ian relives his prom night with the bumper song "Love is Like Oxygen". Voiceover Guy gives us the numbers

Ian has found "Scott" ! Yes ~! Damn, this has been a mini soap opera in and of itself. Kudos to IP and kudos again.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

END OF BREAK

Ian delivers "Scott" the man who saw "Man-Dog".

Scott didn't hear the infamous scream. This story is falling apart already. Scott went to hear the scream and didn't hear it.

Ian wants details. Is this the source of the scream ?

Scott says "yeah, given the distance". Um, yeah.

Ian's setting the stage for us.

Two lane country road. Black thing on the side of the road. He's about 20 feet away. It looked like an ape with a dog's head. It froze and stared at Scott.

Ian tries to get a bead on what it looked like.

Scott compares it to the werewolf in Van Helsing.

Ian asks him to swear on a stack of bibles that it was a werewolf.

Scott reluctantly does.

Ian says telling people would hurt your social status.

Scott's been listening for 14 years.

Ian understands his ridicule.

Scott says it was eating a deer.

Ian wants to know if it was a deer carcass or a fresh kill. You redneck.

Scott went back and saw the deer all torn open the next morning. He saw a couple of footprints. No description of the footprints.

Ian says "pulling bloody flesh off the carcass". Geez, get a grip Ian.

Scott thinks its smarter to eat deer than people.

Ian wants to know who else he told other than "Cindy"

Scott says he told his dad. About a month ago, his dad thought he saw it too.

Ian asks how it was sitting.

Scott says it was crouched over.

Ian asks for clarification on the color.

Scott goes back to the Van Helsing reference. He says he just watched the movie again so he knew how to describe it. Wow. Okay.

Ian asks if there was a scream.

Scott says no. Maybe it had to do with a full moon.

Ian wants to know what Scott hears in the scream. He plays it again. "Is it too Hollywood to be believed ?"

Scott thinks its a "new werewolf". He calls it "man-dog" because he doesn't want to think its real.

Ian asks if he could "un see" it, would he ? Good question.

Scott says "yeah."

That's it for Scott. Decent, nothing groundbreaking.

E-mail re: JC mentioning Ian last week.

Ian didn't hear it. He mentioned his pantsless joke from last week.

E-mail re: Hurricane Katrina. More bemoaning it's impending damage. Stop depressing me. They want mass mind session to deter the Hurricane. Uh oh. I'm all for it, but it is probably dangerous. A request for a miracle.

Ian says he cannot create a miracle. That shatters my world view. Ian asks for everyone to pray. I'm all for it and will toss in my prayers as well.

E-mail re: mockumentary called "Oil Storm" It predicts oil going up to $100 a barrel.

Ian says FX will probably play the film again.

E-mail re: peakoilclock.com Ugh. More schilling for Peak Oil.

E-mail re: gas strike. That'll work.

E-mail re : Tobacco guest. He wants to know about expanding consciousness via tobacco. Yeah, it's called "weed".

E-mail re: Ian needs to grow a beard.

Ian again says he'll look like a chubby pornstar. He gives the go ahead to "photoshop" his face. Unleashing a torrent of Hot Newz. Good luck to you, Ian.

E-mail re: Ian needing a beard.

2 E-mails from women re: giant sex. "Not enough room" Woman rips on Steve Quayle. 2nd Woman says women love sex. That's news to me. This is getting lurid. Ian needs to wash his mouth out with soap after that one.

Last caller, Ron, in 1981 in Oregon, he heard the scream. He thinks it was Bigfoot. 'Could be.

Ian plays the scream for the 5th time.

Ron says it sorta sounded like that. He gives some details on his scream incident.

Bigfoot sit while they eat, according to Ian. I'd like to see some citation on that factoid.

Bumper music kicking up and Ian's sorta rambling here. Controversial tobacco doctor is next.

Good SNP this week. It was all over the map and more than a little chaotic, but I enjoyed it. No pipe mention, to the best of my knowledge, which is surprising considering the tobacco doctor.

Nice little melodrama over Scott not showing up at first then finally being on. Although all that trouble didn't amount to much. I did enjoy Ian's beating the "scream" soundbite into the ground like a dead horse. Geez, Ian, play it once or twice, 5 times is a little overkill and by then you can figure out that it is drunk teenagers.

All in all, entertaining visit with the man they call Ian.
