Alisyn in the Greenroom

2012

ALISYN IN THE GREENROOM:

Did you hear us talking this morning about the end of the world? It wasn’t a FOX News Alert, rather a theory held by thousands of people worldwide that the Apocalypse is coming and the year will by 2012. Some say a polar reversal that year will cause devastating earthquakes, massive tidal waves and volcanic eruptions. Their belief is based on the ancient Mayan cyclical calendar which expires (with catastrophic consequences) in 2012. The ancient Egyptians viewed 2012 as a watershed year as well. And so does NASA, which predicts a sharp increase in solar activity like sunspots and flares that will cause electrical havoc in 2012. So here’s the question: if the world were really to end in 4 years, what would you do differently today?

P.S. — I’m still have some problems with wordpress. It won’t let me respond to any of your comments. I’ll keep trying! Stay tuned. I see some great responses.

Good morning Ms. Alisyn,

I don’t see a reason to change a thing. For one if you reverse your entire life around dying and then it doesn’t happen you’ve lost so much.

I’m happy with my life right now so making changes doesn’t make any sense to me.

If only 1461 days left, note to Fox and Friends Wardrobe: THAT red dress for Ali every one of them.

Note to Ali: the workouts on the quads working!

You must be confusing me with someone who goes to the gym.

 
 
Comment by DogOnCrack

The best advice I can give is to make your peace with God.
Then again, 2012 may witness the second coming.
Call me crazy if you like.
Most people do.

Comment by pogger

What would I do different or change if the world was coming to an end? I honestly do not know Alisyn…while I have made my share of mistakes they have been mine, I had a good life, lots of friends, a family that loves me, In the end the only thing I think I would change Alisyn is me. I would try to be a better person.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

That would be tough pogger.

 
 
Comment by Pat in Minnesota

Hey Alisyn,

If I new the world was going to end in 2012, I’d spend a week or 2 on a Caribbean island, then I’d go blow all my money in Vegas for a week or 2, then I’d go meet you! My 3 goals to a complete life!

But wait, you’re only up to 4 weeks. You’ve got another 204 to kill.

 
 
Comment by Salvatore

Good Morning Alisyn,
why change anything, what would you do different anyways? I dont believe in that theory, I think God would let us know whats going on, if that was to happen, God would show us the way.

Good Morning everyone

Comment by mark d

if the world is going to end in 4 years, the only thing anyone can do is to prepare for the afterlife.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

And eat a lot more ice cream.

I would not change a thing, you live life with honor and no regret! My kids are my ebveryhting and my family is my world. Although Ali you do make the world stop with your beauty! The red dress is amazing.

 
Comment by Rich in MI

Good morning… my first time in here.

I have heard the polar (magnetic) swap theory, and that apparently has happened in the distant past before, so it’s not so out there.

The calendar thing seemed to my brief and incomplete investigation to be more of an end of a cycle rather than end of the world, and like our own year 2000 computer problems, the Mayans may have just figured someone else would calculate more later on.

I have also heard of the Earth and the rest of our solar system moving across the galactic ecliptic, the plane through the center of the galaxy and roughly in the center of all of the ‘arms’ of said galaxy. By itself that had some potential mysterious effects, supposedly, or, there is another theory that our galactic center is active in the radio or other EM range similar to galaxies we can see elsewhere with great streams of energy spreading out for thousands of light years. The theory I saw stated that we would have to deal with one of those ‘beams’, which, if true, would be somewhat destructive. Thing is, I have only seen that sort of thing emanating from the ‘poles’ of a galaxy elsewhere, perpendicular to the galactic plane.

To actually answer your question… I don’t think it will happen, or it won’t be from any of the above mentioned sources, if it does. My life is balanced between ups and downs and I don’t think I’ll change it on account of potential world end chatter. If one wants to improve their take on (and attitude about) life, there is already good advice: dance like no one’s watching, sing like you’re in the shower, love like THERE’S NO TOMORROW… something like that. The world might not end in 4 years, two days, 100,000 years, whatever. But for some, THEIR world ends abruptly in an accident, sudden health issue, etc.

Comment by Luis

Well, putting a positive spin on the “End of the World,” we would not have to listen to “celebrity divorce” stories ad nauseum, and focus on what is truly important, like getting our econocmy back on track, reducing the national debt, concentrating on issues here at home like homelessness, poverty and family values……………

That may be asking a bit much though. Not as good for ratings………………..;)

Comment by william thomas

Alisyn,
Is there a reason the fox news girls hate men who like lower extremities. one time you brought it up in a segment about how if you get a pedicure it makes woman look skinnier and ur co host called us weird and strange when u told the camera to focus in. Why are we weird? why are we strange? would love to know! I love the show and no matter what it will always be a part of the morning routine!

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

Um, William, what are you talking about? You’re making the apocalypic theories sound a lot more sane.

 
 
Comment by Marshall

Yes, no doubt that it will happen! 10:33am, 04/01/2012

How many times have we heard similar predictions and then sit around all day waiting for the spaceships to arrive and then nothing…….. :?

Alisyn,

This is off subject – I did not know where else to type. (My very first blog).

You mentioned this mornin about Military Women and Wedding Dresses. I would like to know who to call, etc.

I have a neice in the Military getting married in the Fall and is just now deciding on her Wedding Dress.

Thanks, Glenda

The person to contact is Heidi Janson who owns the Bridal Stock Exchange Boutique in Seabrook, New Hampshire

For future reference it is Que Sera Sera. We wouldn’t want to upset Obama with a bad interpretation. lol

 
Comment by Gini

Alysin,

You look beautiful in red today..we do love the judge, so am very glad to see him still on. Must obama for work, however, the 401k shouldn’t be tapped. It is there for retirement, and if allowed to be just used, at impulse, we are in a lot of trouble. One can access these funds IF they NEED them…other wise, of course, it should be left completely alone, and guarded as well…the obvious, of course, one should be totally INFORMED about their 401k, i.e. what it is, and how it works for them.
Good morning to allllllll my fellow fans here in this most wonderful place to be. The desk top seems to be working…sometimes anyway! ~~smile~~
The End of the World? Haven’t they made a few movies along that line? For those who have read “the book”, this is not a conundrum…for those who have not? Well, I guess they will be where they are and I will be where I am, at THE END…but, we for sure don’t know when that is. I would agree with….one day at a time, as it might be your last, and have nothing to do with THE END…:)

 
Comment by Lloyd S Derbyshire

Gidday Alisyn.

Your question sounds similar to David Bowies song FIVE YEARS from THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS (1972):

“News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying”

So far I haven’t seen enough of that so maybe somebody is lying :-)

Anyway all we can ever do is live in the now . . . now and at the hour of our death.

Dear Alisyn…if Marshall is correct, then I won’t have to pay my taxes in 2012…At least once that will happen while I am living…kind of.

Comment by Barbara in Pensacola, FL

Good Morning Alisyn: Not a thing would I do differently. I spend all my spare time now with my 4 grandchildren and my kids. I don’t believe that someone can predict the future (sure they can try). I think most of it is to get a reaction from the public. People should just stay living in the present and enjoy each day.

 
Comment by Sherrie in Michigan

Morning, I wouldn’ change anything, we just go along one day at a time and enjoy!! Let us all be smart and vote for McCain in 08, after listening to New on OReily last night and his stand on drilling maybe he should be McCain’s vice president, what do you guys think??????

EVEN A FAR LEFT PERSON OR DEMOCRAT.

 
Comment by Eileen

Good morning Alysin and all the bloggers..old and new.

If you are a believer, this would not worry you one little bit. I agree with Dog. We are the only species that knows we will eventually die.

If I remember correctly, that was also supposed to happen when we switched to the year 2000? Still waiting.

morning chas-hope you day goes well today.

Alisyn,
I would not change a thing…I have children that are my entire world…a wife that most men would kill to be with and a job that most are envious of…if the world were going to end i would spend every second I could with them adn I would of course make sure that I get my F&F fix every single morning. Alisyn ur beauty captivates ur audience and the red dress today is simply exquisite! Ali you asked me the other day how much I love Pantyhose cuz I made a statement about how u seem to be the only one who seems to wear them on fox n e more, not that its often and never happens in the summer. Do i love them? Yeah I do! They make a lady look professional! Do they look good on you? Yes! That was the only thing i was getting at silly girl!

Iwould not change a thing if the world were to end. I have the best children in the world, a wife most men would kill to have, and a job most are envious to have…the only thing i would change is u accussing me of liking pantyhose so much! HEHE…Do you remember lastweek asking me that? Why would you think that?I jsut like the way they look

 
Comment by marshall g.

busted at 2012-
were these predictions made by the ancient mayans, egyptians, nostradamos and al gore?

 
Comment by Liz K

Wouldn’t it be interesting if your question were asked on something like the Huffington Post? I wonder how their answers would differ.
It sounds like most of us on your blog know exactly how to prepare for the end, or should I say beginning?

 
Comment by Dallas Cowboy

Alisyn:

I’m disappointed that I won’t get to read any of your pithy responses ;-)

The only thing I would do differently if I new the precise time of the end of the world is to stop saving and to indulge all my dreams (on credit, of course).

Seriously, I agree with william thomas about living a good life, there is no need to change anything I am doing if I new the world would end.

AND…you look great in that red dress this morning.

Have a great day.

 
Comment by Jim _TN

Good Morning Alisyn, Chas, Sal and everyone else.

The first thing I want to do on that infamous day in 2012 is report live with Geraldo Revera. (I figure it’s going to be like the Al Capone vault. You’re a crazy SOB Geraldo but I still love ya!) I can hear him now, “Here we are, Jim and I, live atop such and such building, Jim with the moustach he grew to match mine, and me, reminicing about the life that I have had the pleasure of living. I never thought I would be spending possibly the last day on earth with this guy, this veteran, this family man, on top of this building.”

“Me either Geraldo, and is my wife pissed.”

There isn’t much I would change in my life. Like everyone I go through the ying and yang of life trying to balance the positive witht he negative.

If there were something that I would want to do before then, if I knew for sure the end was coming, I would take a my family around the world for the next 4 years. I would pull them out of school and and ask all 6 of them where they want to go and take them there.

 
Comment by Julie Greissinger

FYI. The Shag is the South Carolina State dance. I know you are laughing at my e-mail address.

What was the name of the radio guy who trashed John McCain this morning and what station and city?

As I said yesterday in e-mail to Fox and Friends, John McCain is Irish. Ever hear of the fighting Irish? How do I know? I am Irish. I get angry when I see injustices, such as the over spending by our Congress and Senate. John McCain has been fighting the spending by the Senate thieves for years. He has a right to be angry.

 
Comment by Jay

how funny was that after show with the king…HILLARIOUS…Dungy is such a solid human being…and I am a Patriots fan…but what a nice man!

 
Comment by Doug, Michigan

I see no reason to change a thing. I do the best I can do now and have a wonderful family that I care for and that cares for me. If I could do better I would do it if the world were ending or not. I dont believe the creator would only let the ancient Egyptians know about such a plan.

 
Comment by Pat

Good morning alisyn

you looked very good in that red dress today red is definitely your color but then again i dont think i have ever seen you not look good

regarding the end of the world if we live every day to the fullest and follow the golden rule, we will be ready whenever the world ends i would definitley like my family to be around me if that were going to happen and to make sure they all knew how wonderful they have made my life and how very much i love them all

Comment by Gwen in Mississippi

I put little stock in what is said by those who say they can predict the end of the world. My Bible says “not even the angels in heaven know the hour”. Besides, we live moment to moment anyway. The best I can say is to live your life as if it’s your last moment. Then, you’ll have no regrets. But–that’s harder to do than to say.

Last week I said that the Mike from Air American was an idiot. I now must apologize to idiots everywhere. That guy is so below idiot that it’s unreal. Thanks to Doocy for wrapping him up short when he got on McCain about his temper. I can tolerate many of the Democrat pundits; but that guy makes me so angry that I may throw something heavy at my tv. Now, now–I must settle down and control my temper. It’s not good for my blood pressure to be in the danger zone so early in the morning.

Have a blessed day!

Comment by bhawknine

Speaking of a Fox News Alert, this morning on the first hour, the story of the nut climbing the NY Times Building last night was promoted as a Fox News Alert with the usual urgency of a major story. This was not a Fox News Alert story, save it for something important, not of some Bin Laden expert, climbing the NY Times Building. Fox is buying into this guys PR, they are smarter than that.

Love the show!

Alisyn,
In response to your apocalypic theories being more sane than me. You once did a segment on drawing atention to ur feet by painting ur toes u will look skinnier. ur co host who is no longer with fox freaked and called viewrs who liked feet weird and strange and donot bring them out right now and dont make them happy. i was just wondering if the woman of fox loathes us weird guys when we dont bother anyone! Are they bothersome and are we weird? thanks and keep up the good work!

 
Comment by Mike Malone

If I knew the world was going to end in 4yrs I would like to travel and see some of the exotic and historical places on the Earth. The natural beauty that this planet has to offer.
I certainly would want to visit with friends that live far away.

But all of that would require leaving family behind and as others said, family is the most important.

Of course I am still waiting for Y2K to end the world? It will happen!! It is just running a little late. LOL

Maybe I should spend that four years building a ‘way back machine’ then I could go back in time and do all the things I would like too. (Like go to dinner with Alisyn before she met her husband. :) )

It would help with mortgage payments!! Wasn’t there a group that thought the mother ship was coming down to get them on New Year’s Eve 2000?

Marshall-did you catch Patti Ann (aka the porcelain goddess) on Redeye last night? I was up with a sick kid and caught a little of it. It’s good to be a man!

Remember, I’m still a guy…..

 
Comment by C. Smith

Hi Aliysn….Just had to laugh at Bill Clinton’s remarks on John McCain possibly not being in his right mind due to him being a POW…So, what was Clinton’s excuse when he lost it with his outbursts and stupid remarks when his wife was running?…What a joke…

 
Comment by A.M.

First on my list of things to do before the year 2012 would be to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world— (Skydiving or driving a really fast car doesn’t thrill me at all) Also on my list would be to laugh so hard that I cry. And last on my list of things to do would be to hold that most beautiful girl in the world.

Okay, not all original but, gee, who here will contend?

Hey Luis and Alisyn, Thanks, I just crossed one off my list…LOL

 
Comment by Cat

Well if the end of the world is coming in 4 years then I guess NASA can send out a marker or a plutonium powered beacon or something like a Voyager space craft with all of man kinds history on it to let aliens from other worlds know that we were once here.

 
Comment by Joe Rossman

First of all, different people and groups have been predicting apocalypse almost since the dawn of creation. We are told in scripture that no man knows the day or the hour.

But arguendo; If I knew for sure that the end were coming in 2012, the only thing I do differently is that I would take my retirement fund and spend it in ways that would benefit as many people as I possibly could. In addition to giving to charities, I would spend some of the funds in ways that would allow me to build a closer relationship with my family and friends. Not from the view of buying the relationship, but rather enabling a closer relationship such as planning a vacation with them. And if I knew that, I would not tell anyone that I knew.

 
Comment by Cecil Russell

So we don’t have to worry about getting out of debt, our health, our Kid’s debt and health, Job’s, Iran, Iraq, Obama, the Weather, what anyone else thinks about anything, Gas prices, redecorating, Mowing the grass, being fat or skinny, our hair ETC.
So I guess we get to enjoy life for the rest of our time, Is that not what we were supposed to do anyway?

Comment by Gary Watchorn

I am a Christian so I only go by what the bible says about the end of this age. We are in the sixth dispensation of time since the beginning of creation with the climaxing of this age resulting in the return of “instead of Christ” anti Christ and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Yashewa the Christ coming to this earth to set up a 1,000 year reign of teaching before the White Throne judgment. This earth will be here for all of eternity as the bible tells us in Revelation that the full God head will be bring his throne here to earth, so wherever God is that is where heaven will be. The rudiments or all evil will be burned up with fire as our God is a consuming fire (Heb. 12:29). The false Christ or anti Christ comes here to this earth before our Lord to deceive the whole world and its religious system that he is the true Messiah coming to set-up a world wide revival. All those that have not the seal of Gods truth in their brain or forehead will believe that he is the true Messiah and will worship him from there hearts. He appears at the 6th seal, 6th trump, and 6th vial (666) our Lord appears at the 7th seal, 7th trump, and 7th vial. The number seven is spiritual completeness. The war of Armageddon and Hamengog occur at the 7th trump, the war of Armageddon is to cleanse Jerusalem the last time because the false Christ stands in Jerusalem claiming to be God which is an abomination to our Father. The war of Hamengog is agains IRAN & RUSSIA and its allies that come against US & Canada which is the House of Israel (10 tribes) but our Father reigns hail stones down that weigh up to 180 lbs. so the US & Canada do not have to lift one weapon against them. The nation of Israel that is in their homeland today is the two tribes of Judah. In Ezekial 37: 16-17 it says that at the end of this age or dispensation of time that the two houses of Israel will again become one stick.
Eze 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
Eze 37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

This earth will be here for all eternity so we need not waste our time worrying about the coming Apocalypse, what they need to worry about is their soul and if they have accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. I John 1:9, If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Since people are basically biblical illiterate today they are not aware of biblical prophesies. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

 
Comment by Zim

Alisyn,

I would try to be a better person. I would need all that time to correct my life.

On lighter note…. I think you should change the pointy shoes you’ve been wearing. They aren’t flattering on TV. They probably look great in person, but TV makes things look bigger…just the shoes.. Love the show. You ladies and guys are great.

 
Comment by Carlos Martinez

you should be as righteous today as you plan to be then! The real question, to help yourself determine what is important to yourself is: what would you miss the most? Your answer will determine who you are.
If you’re going to miss items over people and relationships, 4 yrs won’t help you unless you see the light before then.
I can’t tell you that I believe in this “end of the world” scare, but I put my faith and life/soul into Gods hands at all times.
Man has been predicting the end through every era. We can’t even correctly predict earthquakes, tornados, or other natural disasters but we’re to believe all of the sudden that although they can’t get this other stuff right, they’ve successfully pinned down the end of time! HOGWASH!
I’m not afraid of death, I’m afraid of wasting any valuable time thinking about the inevitable, death.
Don’t worry so much about 4 yrs from now, keep in mind that: Today is a gift and tomorrow is promised to no-one!
That’s why I’m always a good guy!

 
Comment by Jim Parker

I’m 75 so I’m more interested in making sure I MAKE IT to 2012. I’m also fully convinced that
this inconspicuous piece of dirt we call Earth is not the summation of THE GRAND PLAN OF THE
UNIVERSE. I’m concerned with doing the best I can for all I can and to adhere to the basic rule
of first aid..DO NO HARM!! ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE!! Jim Parker Brandon Florida

 
Comment by Carlos Martinez

I agree with you Jim,
here is something I reflect on whenever I have to deal with something:

God grant me the serenity to accept those things I cannot change
The courage to change those I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Patti Ann was good on Red Eye last night, wasn’t she? She and Alisyn are always wonderful guests on the show. And both are women that make a man thank the good Lord above for making us guys!

 
 
Comment by Frank Corby

I believe the Bible quotes, “No one knows the Day or the Hour”. I would take that to mean the Mayans as well as the Egyptians. That being the case, I’m going to go on living each day as I normally would.

 
Comment by Dallas Cowboy

Gary –

Lighten up a little. This wasn’t meant to be a deep philisophical question. It was for fun.

Besides, you need to brush up on how to interpret prophetic scriptures anyway.

 
Comment by aceone29

Hi Alisyn, I received this article on my reader after 2 minutes of posting and tried to post to del.icio.us and my browser went mad, maybe just one of those things? Anyway this Mayan calendar was explained to me many years ago by a a teacher of meditation and he really believed it. That was nearly 18 years ago and now we have only 4 years left or not, maybe l should have headed his warning.Keep up the good work.

 
Comment by John

2012 won’t be the end of the world. The Bible tells us that it will have to last at least 1007 years. If Christ came at the rapture today, that would begin the tribulation for 7 years. Then Christ comes back to earth and sets up His kingdom for 1000 years. After that the earth is distroyed and we get a new heavens & earth.
Those things that are mentioned might happen in the tribulation, for tragic things happen to the earth & people during those 7 years.
Don’t worry about it, just be ready. Trust Christ alone for your salvation.
He is able to forgive your sins and give that gift of eternal life!
He will take you out – rapture – before all of the tribulation things begin!

Comment by texascarlos

so why did time end for the Mayans so much earlier? No one can second guess the future, no matter how they spin it! Hindsight is 20/20 and the charlatans prey on those that can’t figure that out. Like a modern day “force”, they manipulate the facts.
All these people claiming to know the secrets of the world and they can’t guess the lotto numbers.
For me, please, send in the clowns!

True story …. I had a friend years ago (we’ll call her Millie so she remains anonymous). During the many years I knew Millie, I never heard her say a bad word about anybody or anything. Sweet, loving, accepting, and forgiving. Goodness, the dear woman was a saint.

On the day of her funeral, her lawyer returned to his office and removed a large envelope from the safe. In it were 120 sealed, addressed, stamped envelopes waiting to be mailed …. and inside each was a letter beginning with, “For years I’ve wanted to tell you what I really think …. ” and BOY DID SHE!

I hadn’t thought of that for years. Thanks for jogging my brain. I think I’d mail my letters a little early. LOL

 

WHY WOULD ANY ONE CLOUD THE GLORY OF LIFE AND ALL OF ITS’ MIRACLES THAT SURROUND EACH AND EVERYONE OF US, WITH WORRYING ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN — 4 YEARS FROM NOW?

AS I HAVE GROWN OLDER, HOPEFULLY I HAVE GROWN WISER AND WILLING TO AMEND MY WAYS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED SOMEONE HURT OR ANGER. AS I GROW OLDER, I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE ABOUT WHO I AM AND WHAT I HAVE COME TO THIS LIFE WITH AND THE GOOD THAT I WILL LEAVE FOR THOSE THAT FOLLOW.

START TODAY, EVERY DAY. LIVE LIFE TO ITS’ FULLEST. LIVE LIKE THERE IS NO MOMENT BUT THE PRESENT. WE ARE ALL HERE TO DO A JOB, TO LEARN A LESSON, TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE. WE ARE ALL GOING TO LEAVE THIS EARTH AT SOME POINT IN TIME AND COMPLETE OUR JOURNEY ‘HOME.’ THE RIDE HAS STARTED AND IT IS WORTH ENJOYING, EVERY MOMENT, EVERY PART OF IT.

I personally dont think thw world is going to end, but with all the chaos happening around the world, not to mention we live in a post 9/11 world. I think its safe to say the world isnt as peaceful as it used to be. But you hear about these Apocalyptic theories a lot, it reminds me of those Weekly World News publications.

I remember when Y2K was getting closer, everybody was so worried that entire cities would be left in the dark, not to mention computers were going to go haywire. But look, we pulled through it just fine.

But if the world were able to end, i would probably live life to the fullest. Cherish each and every day that you have with your friends and family. Gain enough knowledge and wisdom so you will be better of in the future.

I would also do every aspirations known to man. Maybe travel the world, go bungee jumping, go on a cruise ship, etc.

It would be like that movie with Jack Nicholson, “The Bucket List”.

A great movie, that teaches us that you are never too old or young to chase your dreams.

Hey JT-

Its the same kind of people who think aliens exist and what happened in Roswell was more than a military weather ballon experiment.

Patti Ann did a fabulous job as always on Red Eye. She could consider hosting the show sometime if Greg ever goes on vacation again.

I noticed we havent seen much of Julie Banderas on the show lately. I wonder why?

 
Comment by Brad

I wonder if that guy who scaled the NY Times building has any relationship to Mike Malone, one of our finest posters here on the blog? Its so, that guy is very talented, he should enter one of those tree climbing contests, like his brother :)

 
Comment by Larry Huff

I would spend more time with my wife. That would most likely make it the longest four years of my life!!!

I would put more emphasis on experiencing all there is to experience rather than work and plan for the future.

 
Comment by timdub70

Well, way back in the 990s they were predicting that the world would end in 1000, so this isn’t nowhere near new. I don’t think anyone would predict what would happen in the year 10,000.

 
Comment by DogOnCrack

Brad, you’re a Red Eye fan?
Send me an email at AOL.
I have something that might interest you.

 
Comment by Cindy M

Gary – you definately need to remember that there are several different views on end times –

Dispensational Pre-Millennialism
Historic Pre-Millennialism
Post-Milliannialism
A-Millennialism

Each of the views mentioned above is drived from a praticular interpetation of Revelation20.

As a christian myself I don’t want your interpretation of the Bible as the only christian view on this subject – as you see there are several.

I agree with Dallas Cowboy – this is just for fun – any Bible believing Christian knows that not even the angels know when Jesus will return and this world as we know it will end.

 
Comment by Brad

Hey Dog on Crack-

I am a Red Eye fan, i usually try and catch it whenever i can, if i fall asleep, i usually set my VCR so i can watch it the next day.

I cant seem to locate your email address, is it on your websaite/blog? Maybe you can post whatever you wanted to show me here, if its not a problem.

 
 
Comment by Mike Malone

Thanks Brad, but as far as I know that guy is no kin. The only thing I am interested in scaling is some trout the next time I go fishing.

I think the reason Julie hasn’t been on Red Eye in the last couple of weeks is she has been on vacation. I bet we will see her back on next week, or the week after. She is one of their best guests too.

OT: Great to see Ted Kennedy back on the floor of congress.

He has always been the ying to the Conservatives yang, yet he will work with them when he thinks it’s best for the country.

I don’t often agree with his ideas, but I understand his worth..(He keeps the balance)

Welcome back Ted, and get well.

 
Comment by Marshall

I don’t know if the world is going to end, but it sure has been in slow motion since lunch! zzzzzzzzzz

I did wake in the middle of the night and caught a little of Red Eye. As always, Patti was lookin’ good! When will Alisyn be back on to reveal more *bleeps*? :D

 
Comment by Mihael Lilly

Hmmm, what would I do differently if the world ended in 2012 per the Mayans and, of course, the end of the Nostradomus quatrains? Since I don’t really know what would cause the end of the world as I know it, I guess I wouldn’t prepare for it in any manner differently than I do when I go to bed at night and wake up the next morning. I’ll keep crossing streets, drinking water, eating that which I consider to be food, and doing my daily routine until the earth shattering event were to happen.

What else could I do? It’s not like planning for an event of nature. How could I plan for an earth shatterng catastrophe? I guess I’ll just have to take my chances. I’m sure I’ll welcome in the 2012 new year the same as I did for the year 2000.

 
Comment by George

2012 by whose calculation? It would seem that 2012 would not exist as a date for the Egyptian and Mayan cultures as they were before the birth of Christ. How could they have an AD year?

 
Comment by Mike Malone

I suspect Alisyn won’t be back on Red Eye until August. She is bound to take some vacation time and that often is in July for a couple of weeks as she finds a beach to enjoy and unwind on.

I know I for one am looking forward to Alisyn returning on Red Eye. I hear Patti Ann will be on Red Eye again soon, maybe next week even.

 
Comment by Lee

In response to the Ali’s comments about the prophesy of the world ending in 2012, why get hysterical and crazy and change your lifestyle. Live each day as the best kind of person you can be to your loved ones, others, and to yourself. Believe in God’s Will and hope, strength, and courage will be your steadying support. The Lord’s prayer says “Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven”. Be a good citizen, be the best kind of person you can be to yourself and to others. Pope John said “wait for the Lord with: moral courage; and, physical courage; and, stout heartedness; and, without fear. To be not afraid”. That’s what I think we should all do!

God Bless America; God Bless our Troops; God Bless Sen. McCain

Comment by Dennis

I am stocking up for supplies at 2012Supplies.com. Even if nothing happens in 2012 at all, the average family should be prepared for a disaster. To say that anyone is immune from a disaster or global cataclysm is foolish. Look what happened to normal Americans with Katrina and the Midwest floods, let alone other global disasters. There is nothing wrong with being ready for the unthinkable. Would I move to a mountain cave? No. Would I make sure I am able to care for my family in a disaster? Yes. Be smart…be ready.

Comment by Paula LSMO

I wouldn’t do anything different because I don’t believe the world is going to end in 4 years. Heck, I’m still waiting on the ice age that in the 70’s as a high school student I was told would come by the end of the century and we would all freeze to death. The end of the century has come and gone and it’s still 81 humid degrees here in the Kansas City metro area at 8:24 pm cdt. Not quite freezing ;-)

 
Comment by Sean

Good evening Crew.

Didn’t make it to this thread until now. Hope everyone had a good day.
Not too worried about predictions from the Mayans but I do find the exercise fun. I would spend as much time with my wife and three kids. I would be sad that I didn’t get to see my kids mature into adults and move on into their own lives, to see what they become. I would take comfort in being with them in the afterlife w/ JC.

Best Rgds,

Sean

 
Comment by Ruth

Father God knows when the end times are. That’s good enough for me. Knowing Him and walking my days with His guidance, love and protection are how I live now and He will keep me all the way Home. This world is not my home. I’m a 90 year old, so anxious to move on.

 
Comment by pamela ferreira

Nostradamas, the Bible codes and some Native American tribes also believed that 2012 is the end of the world. The end as we know it now, at least. There isn’t much we can do to stop it if it’s some major natural cataclysm, except prepare to survive, if possible. Our ancestors have gone through horrible things and we can too.

 
Comment by Mike Chimeri

I’m sorry I didn’t make it to this thread until now, too. I remember when I was in 7th grade, there was discussion among some students (not me) that the world would be coming to an end at some such time on some such day. This was in 1994. There will always be someone or some group predicting the end of the world will come at a given time or in a given year, and it’ll always end up wrong.
Hopefully, I haven’t jinxed the world by saying that. :D

 
Comment by Louis

2012- That’s the year Hillary is elected president. The end is near.

Red Eye is like the end of the world but with more screaming midgets. If Alisyn were the Apocalyptic horse, Greg would ride her in the green room.

 
Comment by Louis

Dog, For old guys like me 2012 might be the second coming. You know you’re getting old when the alarm clock goes off before you do.

 
Comment by Julie Burgos

I don’t believe we can possibly know for certain when the world will come to an end. The Bible does offer us certain “signs” that we’re to look for. In 1 Thessalonians 5:2 we’re told, “for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.” Mathew25:13 says,
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh”. I believe that God’s Word has offered us enough information so that we can be prepared, yet certainly not enough information for us to become arrogant.
So whether it happens in 2012 or not, this is truly something that we should not dwell upon. In the grand scheme of things our lives here on earth are basically done and over with in a blink of an eye, when compared to the dawn of the world…and the creation and mankind. Simply speaking, our focus should be on living each day we’re given as though it may be our last. It’s easy to fall into living a life of complacency…but imagine all the good that could be done if we each welcomed, appreciated and lived each and every day, like there may be no tomorrow.

 
Comment by Mike Malone

Mike Chimeri,

The world did come to an end in 1994. The problem is there wasn’t a Fox News Channel back then so there was no FOX NEWS ALERT about it, so none of us know it. Ain’t ignorance bliss?! :)

 
Comment by Mike Malone

A.M. said
“First on my list of things to do before the year 2012 would be to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world—” ….. “And last on my list of things to do would be to hold that most beautiful girl in the world.”

A.M.

Don’t you think Alisyn and Patti Ann’s husbands might object to those plans? But if they don’t object I have first dibs on the kissing and holding! :)

 
Comment by Brad

VCR’s arent really out of style. They come in handy when a person wants to record thier favorite programs and dont want to take the trouble of setting up some other bulky equipment.

I am sure a lot of people on this blog still have their VCRs. Take Marshall, Mike Malone, Sean, Gini, and others. Ask them and i am sure they will tell you the same thing.

Alisyn probably has several of them in her house :) Who knows?

 
Comment by Brad

No problem, Mike M.

I didnt know you fished, i bet you regularly catch a ton of fish, maybe enough so you can sell it for a profit? Or maybe you can appear on one of those ESPN outdoor programs? Hey, it could very well happen.

What terrible memories, i couldnt imagine how it was like back in the day without FNC.

I wonder what the world would be like today, if Rupert Murdoch got together and created the most fair and balanced cable news channel years ago?

Hey April-

I have heard a similar story about a famous person who waited until he passed away until saying all kinds of nasty stuff to his friends and peers. Apparently that was what happened when the late great Gerald Ford passed away.

I really like that Coast to Coast AM radio show. Its on the local FoxNews Radio affliate where i live. The show was much better when Art Bell used to be a regular host, now he only does it on the weekend from the Phillipines.

Three things about those sunspots:

1. They are a pest.

2. They do seem to be more frequent.

3. They can make you miss pieces of your soap opera.

How can one cope?

The World will end sooner if McCain becomes President because he will be the cause of World War III. Then the whole world will ne nuked to death.

 
Comment by chas

Or EricL, the world, or at least the US could end because Obama gets elected, pulls out of Iraq and the middle east goes to war, no oil, no economy here and terrorist blow up half the Country while out on bail for terror related charges.

And to fix it all we raise the tax rate.

Well, it’s just as likely as what you said.

 
Comment by DogOnCrack

EricL, your rhetoric sounds familiar.
Do I know you?

 
Comment by EricL

No, i don’t think that could happen because we have great security people protecting us here, we could get oil from other sources if we had to.

Comment by Jay Meadors

Hi Alisyn,

I believe that the Bible says that nobody will know when the end comes and I believe that included the mayans. I suppose that the key is to live as though you were going to meet God within your next breath, and enjoy your life.

A person who spends his/her life worrying about dying, forgets to live.

If your heart is in the right place, and you have been forgiven for your transgressions – then it won’t matter much. After all, the ending is the same – just may not come when we expect it.

…..but it wouldn’t hurt to sharpen the axe, check your tent for leaks, and stock up on jerky and canned foods!!!

no chas the point didn’t go over my head, the topic is The End of the World, not just the US. And MetalGirl1, it is familiar because it is what the MAJORITY of America is saying. This we be verified November 12th 2008 ! If ya luv yo Mama, vote Obama !

 
Comment by EricL

when was the Middle East not at war ?

 
Comment by Brad

It seems to me like this “EricL” character is a hard core supporter of BHO. Why doesnt he go and join his other fellow left wingers at those other liberal networks. There is a site for those channels. Please spare us the badmouthing and go over there imediately.

 
Comment by Brad

You make some good points Doug-

I really like canned foods, they come in handy whenever there is an emergency. I even heard its a whole lot healthier than fresh foods, because most of the nutrients are already stored inside, when its being packaged.

 
Comment by Robert

If the world ends on Dec 21st,2012 then at that point it will be too late to do anything different…doing something different would have prevented the End. You all just dont get it. You wasted your time with selfish worldly persuits and didnt care about the end then so…why now?
How many of you actually studied and lived THE WORD instead of lip service and rhetoric? If you cared at all youd study the many words of God…and not just any one religion. The search for truth is not limited by mans control and need to dominate.
Christ IS the Son of the Living God and even the Bible Codes translated from the ancient Hebrew Torah have admitted that Jesus is the true Messiah…not to well publicized so start looking into it . Whats wrong with you people? Try Bible Code Digest dot com for the Rabbis that discovered this code…then get ready for Judgement.

 
Comment by Gwen

ALL of this information came out in the early 90’s…in a book called FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS by Graham Hancock.

It is a great book that outlines the beliefs of the polar shift. Why people are just now getting around to looking into it is beyond me.

There are many archeologists and other scientists that say that G. Hancock is a phoney and a charlatan, but that might just be because he was published, and they weren’t.

The book is well worth reading.

 
Comment by Gwen

If I knew that in 4 years the world would really truly end for human existence, I think I would try to find a way to survive whatever catastrophe might happen. Dig a deep hole, build a floating device, etc.

All of our days are numbered anyway, disaster or no disaster. We just have no idea when. We aren’t immortal.

 
Comment by Mitch Sanderson

When thinking about the “end of the world” I always notice the many massive earthquakes, war and all the talk and threat of war also. Saber rattling in the Middle East with Iran and Israel makes me particularly nervous.

 
Comment by Rich

It’s not what I’d do but rather what I would eat. There would be no food off limits. My daily Apocalypse menu for the next four years would include cannoli, spumoni, cherries jubilee, baked ziti, lasagna, fried dough, funnel cakes, sausage & peppers, cheese ravioli, warm Italian bread & butter, veal cutlets, trans fat fried onion rings (the real kind) and a Jaimocha milk shake machine installed in my kitchen. I may go out as a blimp but I’ll be a happy blimp!
