When I worked as a pastry chef apprentice my boss would listen to Art Bell when we went in at 1-2 AM to start baking muffins and shit for the complimentary Continental breakfast at the resort/condo complex/assisted living place I worked at.
Served 200-300 people a day off-season. 1000+ on season.
If I had not messed up my mixing shoulder working chocolate and the like I'd still be baking. It feels good to feed people.
Coast to Coast just isn't the same without Art Bell. Listening to that show on late night rides between towns was a big part of working on the road.
I tried listening to it a few years back, the host was George Noory I think, and it just sounded like any other chud AM radio show. Real disappointing.
I used to get a kick out of George Noory. Like it doesn't matter how deranged or ludicrous something is, he will have the exact same tone and inflection.
