(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: I CALLED "COAST TO COAST AM" AFTER 1 A.M. ON APRIL 17TH WHEN PEGGY LA CERRA, AUTHOR OF THE ORIGIN OF MINDS, WAS THE GUEST. AFTER HEARING THE RINGING TONES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, MY CALL WAS CONNECTED AND I COULD HEAR PROMOS.)
P: . . . the next step in the fight against Saddam Hussein. Find out on the next "Coast to Coast AM."
P: When it all hits the fan, at least there might be a cup of coffee waiting for George on the other side.
G: (promo) What if there's some huge asteroid that might come rolling in, in a few months? Is that possible that that hasn't been found yet?
C: (promo) I predict it won't happen and if I'm wrong, you know, I'll buy you a cup of coffee if it does happen.
G: (promo) If you're wrong, we won't be around to collect.
C: (promo) If we get wiped out, at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that I owe you a cup of coffee.
G: (promo) Have you ever wanted to just disappear? Well you may think that's an impossible idea but there are people who have claimed to have simply slipped out of this dimension for brief periods of time. And it's not just one or two cases, you may have done it yourself. Well find out in the April issue of the After Dark Newsletter and you may want to disappear after you read about alternative combat as well. We've had jet liners used against us. How about insects and other pathogens as weapons, hmm? Plus my editorial on defining moments in my life. Call write now to subscribe by calling (gives number). And for only $39.95 you'll get 14 issues for the price of 12. The toll-free number again is (gives number). Or subscribe online at coasttocoastam.com. It's easier than ever right there on the home page. You can't miss it. If it's dark it must be after dark. Call right now . . .
Whooo oh I just wanted you to comfort me When I called you late last night you see I was falling into love Yes, I was crashing into love Oh of all the words you sang to me About life, the truth and being free Yeah you sang to me Oh how you sang to me Girl, I live for how you make me feel So I question all this being real Because I'm not afraid to love For the first time I'm not afraid to love Oh this day seems made for you and me And you showed me what life needs to be Yeah you sang to me Oh you sang to me . . .
("You Sang To Me" performed by Mark Anthony)

G: That's Mark Anthony, by the way, singing that song. I think he is so talented. He really is doing a great job. Tomorrow night on my next "Coast to Coast," my guest will be professor Michio Kaku and we will be talking about all things that the professor is a genius at: hyperspace, time warps, parallel universes, time travel. It will be my first time talking with professor Kaku so even I am looking forward to this one. That will be on our next "Coast to Coast." Hey, don't forget the After Dark Newsletter. You know, if you run around the house tomorrow morning and count up all the magazine — magazines that you have purchased during the year, you'll find out that if you bought the After Dark Newsletter you'd save money and you'd be happier.

Just call them and say, "I just heard about this on 'Coast to Coast.'" (gives number twice) And also you can order it online by going to coasttocoastam.com.
(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: COMMERCIALS WERE FOLLOWED BY CALLERS AND A SCREENER CAME ONTO THE LINE AFTER ALMOST 15 MINUTES HAD ELAPSED SINCE THE CONNECTION OF MY CALL.)
S: "Coast to Coast." What's your name?
Q: Hi. Mark.
S: Hi, Mark. Where are you calling from?
Q: From Canoga Park.
S: What do you want to say tonight, Mike — Mark. Sorry. ("O")
Q: Oh just wanted to see what Peggy thinks about when you listen to speakers how you'll hear the word 'no' sometimes in the middle of their sentence. It's almost like their — their brains are like transmitting devices. ("AND") This seems to be like the Cosmic Mind being heard.
S: You hear 'no' and what?
Q: In the middle of someone's sentence.
S: When they're talking to you?
Q: Right.
S: Are they —
Q: Well no when —
S: Are they —
Q: — when — when —
S: Are they physically saying no?
Q: No, I'm talking about when you go to, like, a lecture.
S: Right.
Q: And the person is speaking and sometimes in the middle of their sentence they'll say the word 'no.'
S: Yeah.
Q: So I would just like to see what — what her idea of the mechanism here. I mean she has talked about different kinds of mind. I guess —
S: Hold on one second.
G: . . . You're on "Coast to Coast." Hi there.
J: Yikes. Hi, this is Jocelyn in Torrence calling. Thanks, George and — and —
G: Sure.
J: — Dr. La Cerra, I wanted to ask you if you had a theory or if you —
S: Hey, Mark, hold on and make sure your radio's off.
Q: Okay.
S: Okay? Thanks.
(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: THE SHOW ENDED WITHOUT GEORGE NOORY GOING TO MY CALL. I DECIDED TO CALL THE FOLLOWING EVENING, STILL APRIL 17TH, DURING THE 10 P.M. TO 11 P.M. 'OPEN LINES' PORTION OF THE SHOW. I USED THE WILD CARD LINE, WHICH FOR ME IS A LOCAL CALL.)
S: "Coast to Coast AM." What's your name?
Q: Hi, this is Mark.
S: Hi, Mark. Where are you calling from?
Q: I'm calling from Canoga Park.
S: Okay Mark, what do you want to say tonight?
Q: I wanted to refer to a comment George made last night about the mind being "something out there."
S: Uh-huh?
Q: And tie that in with Electronic Voice Phenomena based on my own experiences in the —
S: Okay, sir, hold on and make sure your radio is off, please.
Q: It's off.
(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: MY LINE WAS IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED BUT IT TOOK ME MORE THAN A HALF MINUTE TO REALIZE IT SO THEN I PRESSED THE REDIAL BUTTON. I FIRST HEARD A BUSY SIGNAL BUT THE NEXT TIME I DIALED THE CALL WENT THROUGH.)
S: "Coast to Coast AM." What's your name?
Q: Hi, yeah, it's Mark.
S: Hi, Mark. Where are you calling from?
Q: Canoga Park.
S: Oh, is this the Mark I just talked to?
Q: Uh-huh.
S: I'm sorry. You know what? We're having some trouble tonight. Hang on, okay?
Q: Okay.
S: Sorry if it cuts you off. If it does, you'll just have to call me back.
Q: Okay, thank you.
S: Hang on. Hang on.
(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: MY LINE WAS IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED AGAIN YET I WAITED 15 SECONDS JUST IN CASE BEFORE REDIALING, THIS TIME USING THE WEST OF THE ROCKIES LINE.)
S: "Coast AM." What's your name?
Q: Oh hi. I thought I would try this line. It's Mark.
S: Oh hi, Mark. Okay, let's see if this one works . . .
G: . . . "upstairs. There's no way for her to get down to the basement without going down the stairs. George, how did this happen?" (line disconnected)
(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: I REDIALED AND HEARD A BUSY SIGNAL. THEN I REDIALED AND HEARD THE RINGING TONES YET THERE WAS NO ANSWER UNTIL —)
V: Your party is not answering. Please —
(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: I REDIALED YET THE BUSY SIGNAL KEPT BEING HEARD. ON MY SIXTH ATTEMPT THE RINGING TONES CAME ON AGAIN BUT AGAIN I HEARD THE AUTOMATED VOICE.)
V: Your —
(TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: JUST AS BEFORE, I REDIALED AND HEARD A BUSY SIGNAL. THEN I REDIALED AND HEARD THE RINGING TONES YET THERE WAS NO ANSWER RIGHT AWAY SO I REDIALED AND AGAIN GOT A BUSY SIGNAL.)
Q: (speaking into tape recorder) Well I'm obviously being screened but there's more than one way to achieve your goal so I'm going to send Mr. Noory an Email message.
( . . . )
Q: So my Email is addressed to george@coasttocoastam.com. The subject is:
Subject: I'm Being Screened Again - Remember God Put You In This Position For A ReasonDate: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 22:36:45 -0400From: Mark Russell Bell <markrussellbell@earthlink.net>Organization: http://testament.orgTo: george@coasttocoastam.com
Love,
Mark
Q: And the message is just "Love, Mark." ("AND MAR")
( . . . )
Q: So it's Thursday the 17th and I listened to the first hour of the show last night — the one that I was screened from. And I must say it was a punishment of sorts for those participating in the show; therefore, I wouldn't think to share any of it with you except maybe a word. There is a certain horror going on over there at the corporate headquarters of the program. Apparently, about an hour before the show a woman had jumped from the roof of the building, around a couple dozen stories high, and George said he could see the body just about three windows over from where he was looking, on the street below. The first caller was on the wild card line. Well here ("IT") — this is how it ended. It was a ghost story and this was the punchline.
F: . . . bababooey . . .
Q: So that's what they got. There were some other inane calls, not that George seemed to notice. So, this whole business of screening calls has resulted in a very tedious program. Again, Michio Kaku is the guest — who says the same thing time after time. I don't know when or if George saw my Email. I taped the first hour of Michio's interview and I'll listen to it later but I don't think it will be very revealing. George did — did mention that Art was going to fill in for him on Friday night.
( . . . )
Q: I've been thinking some more about that lie the screener told me about having technical difficulties the night I was screened three times. And isn't it so that where dishonesty is concerned — and also agendas or spin control for that matter — not telling the truth about something is always a sign that something is wrong.
P: . . . the next step in the fight against Saddam Hussein. Find out on the next "Coast to Coast AM."
