From the southeast Asian capital city of the Philippines, Manila, I bid you all.

Good day.

Good morning.

Good afternoon.

Good evening, as a case may be.

And welcome to yet another edition, my third this week, of Coast to Coast, AM.

It is my honor and privilege escorting you throughout the weekend.

I'm Art Bell.

And this is the

radio program of its genre, whether it be conspiracy theories or, well, the paranormal or the

Abbey Normal, and that's what I call the World News, Ab Abby Normal, and we'll get to that here in a moment.

A couple of things.

Today was an interesting, a very interesting day in a lot of ways.

I normally do not spring out of bed and plunge into the Philippine sunshine, and oh, we have it out there in spades today, I'll tell you what.

A lot of sunshine out there and but today um Aaron went and got uh her partials uh put back on you know she's got a bridge coming and she's got a partial and it came out when she was eating

so she had to go quickly back over and get it put in and so I I met her at, we have pancake house here, so I met her at pancake house close by,

which requires about a quarter mile walk in the Philippine sun.

And well, I'll tell you what, boy, spring out of bed, leave a nice air-conditioned environment,

stroll into about, I don't know, 90 degrees and 100% humidity, and

that hits you hard.

That really is a different kind of way to wake up.

And so that began my day to day, and I met her over there, and we had breakfast.
