Sounds like she'd be a better fit running the George Noory page

Maybe there should be a separate "Diagnose Noory" thread. 

In addition to the diagnoses already listed by others, I'd add Oedipus complex to his list of pathologies.  Here is a man in his 60s who claims he still confers with his mother regarding the show each night.  He wants to keep a late-night show G rated so it does not offend her.  He claims a late-night show that used to explore all facets of the bizarre is now a "family show."  He plays music from his mother's glory days.  He seems to have no cultural knowledge of what was popular music for his generation; he is stuck in his mother's cultural milieu.  From his own stories, we know he had problems gaining his father's approval, but his mother was always there supporting him.  It is rather depressing to think that a man in his 60s still requires the approval of his mother and seeks it out at the detriment of his listeners.

Unless these are more creepy lies where he's trying to make himself out to be the good caring son.  I don't buy it.  Are we really supposed to think his mother - what is she, 90 - has been stayihg up until 5am listening to this dreck live all these years, then calling to go over it?  Isn't that what he claims.

George recently proclaimed he is (just now) getting into Bob Dylan.

My guess is now that a couple months have passed, if someone stopped him on the street today he wouldn't know who Dylan is.

      But it's such a touching story of redemption and his becoming a humble servant for the Lord. His humility is awe inspiring.

         That aside...I see the Ravens pulling a 23-21 upset at Foxboro sunday night. Wind chill is supposed to be about 15 degrees at game time.

I'm not sure what's the most obnoxious part of the Ray Lewis saga this year, probably the pre and post game dancing - if that's what it's called.  Just awful, the guy has zero moves.  Which means his next stop will be Dancing with the Stars. 

Then there's Peyton Manning (one of the '2 brothers in the NFL' from an Ian Punnett skit of the same name).  Really glad both Manning teams are out, I just get tired of the handful of players that are so overexposed during the year on the sports shows.


Peyton and Ray and 2 garbage cans:

Still going back and forth, but it is most definitely Tommy doing the corresponding as he's just sent a reply that says "He just signed for 5 more years."


Please Art.....

It seems like over the years George has 'just signed extensions for X number of years' about a zillion times.  If he were to be believed, another 5 years would have him hosting until around 2135, which is about when the Hawaii studio is scheduled to come on line.

Just more nonsense and self-delusion from the Nooron.

... Noory mentioning how he would give anything to have a career like Casey Kasem, the king of mainstream Top 40 AM cheeseball radio.  Maybe that's what he'd rather be doing...

George would give anything to be famous, to be a star - doing anything.  The one thing he won't do is put in effort - he either just doesn't believe it matters or realizes it wouldn't matter in his case.

Tangled Web George Noory Expands His Reach as King of All Paranormal Media
By Richard Horgan on December 24, 2012 12:45 PM

Shuttling back and forth between LA and St. Louis, George Noory is a very busy man...



It's interesting every time someone writes an article about George Noory, it's filled with comments about how 'busy' he is, or mentions his 'provacative' interview style, or talks about him as an 'investigator'.  Almost as if George is writing the article, or that the person that did write it did nothing more than interview George and write the resposes he got.  It's always such shoddy journalism.  That George is on when most people are sleeping benefits him much. 

Like the lady guesting last night, people would just assume anyone in the industry for 10 years is putting in effort and is up to the job.

Even at PremRat, Tommy is busy screening calls and everyone else is home asleep - I wonder if anyone there has ever actually listened to the show for more than a segment or two.

... I don't know how or where to begin.  Last night Noory said that we were going to enjoy another "Classic Coast to Coast" program with Linda   Stasi.  Linda has written a novel that includes the story of Veronica's Veil.  More intriguing, however, was her six year investigation into the veil and the intriguing, mysterious, unexplainable occurrences she experienced while on that six year "journey".I was looking forward to, as George characterized it, "Another Classic Coast to Coast"......he expounded by saying, "This program will be riveting!"    
What in God's name happened to Noory? ...

We've heard this before from George.  Obvioulsy he isn't tinterested in ancient religious relics - well, actually, he isn't interested about ANY of the old Coast to Coast topics, he clearly lied about all that to get the show in the first place.

I'm thinking about his show with the Shroud of Turin.   As soom as the show begins, out of his mouth live on national radio he's talking about the Shroud of Urine.  George and Tommy HAVE to have joked about the 'Shroud of Urine' all day, maybe for days ahead of the show, in order for that to happen.

Just pathetic.  And according to George, anyone that doesn't like it is just a hater - well, because he's just such a great broadcaster.

Quote from: Sardondi on January 16, 2013, 10:40:48 AM
George "Special Voice Machine" Noory just gave us one more example of the fact that he just doesn't understand how people think and feel. Whether or not he agrees with someone, he owes all guests (and callers) a modicum of courtesy and professionalism; after all, he asked them to appear and speak. For him to have an author on to talk about a book, but then to abruptly change gears and go in to some kind of 60's drive-time DJ doing cornball "funny" routine is just bizarre. And to keep up the silly denial that he was "teasing" is an incredibly rude and aggressive act.   

I'm convinced George Noory has a personality disorder which makes it difficult for him to "get" people - something along the lines of narcissism, maybe with a little sociopathy thrown in. It would account for much of the weirdness that is George, from his bizarre choices and inappropriate attitudes to his unexpected and rude remarks which he doesn't seem to intend. He simply does not understand normal people and what goes on in their heads and hearts.

Of course he has learned from other humans, and he mimics what he has seen and heard, so he generally knows how to act. And so he often does a good job concealing the fact he doesn't emotionally connect with a particular situation or interaction, and doesn't really understand why a person would act a certain way. George is borg.

George is always talking about various 'friends' that he has, but a person with friends learns over time how to function around people.  I doubt very much that George has these friends.

What is so unusual is that a person with non-existant talent, looks, personality, or brains could get opportunity after opportunity - people backing him in the restaurant and other business ventures, geting the Coast show, his earlier TV shows and  now the GiamTV gig.  He must have an amazing agent and be able to act human in short bursts of a few hours in meetings here and there. 

Quote from: ShayP on January 16, 2013, 08:40:57 AM
I couldn't listen to the whole show.  George thinks he's cute when he plays these "pranks" but he's just a bully.  He wants to be the show.  He wants the attention to be on him...

This is what George means when he says something along the lines that 'the show is serious but sometimes we're just having fun'.  He probably thinks this voice stunt is something comparable to the deep devilish voice Art sometimes used when JC called.  Which makes this another classic show.

If we hadn't before, we learned all we needed to know about George's his ability to view how he is perceived when he started 'barking' like a dog at John Hogue on the first GaiamTV episode - and included it on the trailer clip.

It's annoying when someone posts something about George, then ends it with "but he's a nice guy".

No he isn't.  And it's almost a given that he's even more of a jerk when it's a female guest.

Weren't there posts awhile back - about mid-Dec - that George had said something about having spoken to Art about a couple of projects?

I wonder if the projects were that GaiaTV garbage, and the 10 years Anniversary Show.  And the answers were 'no' and 'no'.

I was listening to an Ian show on the funklbaldy stream today and noticed he got punked a couple of times ala the "Cheeses of Nazareth" bit.  It got me thinking it would be funny as hell if people called in on non-George nights and said "F Noory" at the end of the call, ala late-90s Stern.

I remember that show  The guy called in with that sad little pun thinking Ian would like it, and Ian acted like it was not funny at all and that it was beneath him even to have had to listen to it. 

Problem is, it exactly mirrored Ian's level of dumb aggravating (non) humor and he sounded like he was just irked that he hadn't thought of it himself more than anything else.  I bet Ian has used that 'Cheeses of Nazarath' line around the office and at parties a million times since then, as if he'd been the one to come up with it.

... We all know Hoaxie is a narcissist, and it makes me wonder what he's like behind the scenes...

In order to not perhaps jinx a return by Art Bell, I've managed to supress an urge to post a list of guests I hope he never has on again.  It would include nearly all of Art's guests that George Noory managed to have on more than a couple times.  If Art were interested, I'm sure he could find threads here discussing guests during the Noory era.

George enjoys demonstrating his laziness and incompetence, and encourages people to comment about his performance.

Quote from: Stranger929 on January 14, 2013, 05:02:23 AM
He used to claim, when he first started hosting, that he had never had a drink/adult beverage in his life.  I remember hearing that multiple times in conversations with callers and every time I'd say to myself 'this guy is a lying sack of shit'. Now he talks openly about drinking.

Quote from: Mind Flayer Monk on January 14, 2013, 04:26:18 AM

...In the Kurt Vonnegut story Harrison Bergeron, every time Harrison's father has an intelligent thought, a loud noise is broadcast through an earpiece to disrupt his thoughts. Ian’s tinnitus seems to be having an analogous effect. Not even a mild challenge to the guest, no insight. And when you are a naturally annoying person like Ian, you have to have some gadfly in you to make the interview interesting. 

The callers were uninteresting and as Coast to Coast slipped into Agenda 21 AM, the ear buzzer didn’t work and Ian was able to put forth a challenge.  Ian used to be the sane guy in the asylum, but he has been given the Premiere Networks equivocation shock treatment and is a shell of his former self.

Maybe all those years of acting all exasperated that anyone would complain about the wonderful George Noory, and belittling or bullying any caller that dared suggest the show had changed - for the worse - blew up in his face this week.

I've had enough of the Ray Lewis worship.

I think it's weird that John just said that Art always would say "something's going on"? I don't remember Art saying that, like Noory does. Maybe I'm bias.

Maybe this is the first step in the world forgetting George Noory was ever on the air

Quote from: Sardondi on January 12, 2013, 05:08:38 AM
It is like a law of physics: if George somehow lucks out and a guest or caller happens, just happens to strike on something interesting, something which make us sit up and listen, so that we all know the what the next question should be, what it must be....unfailingly that is when George will kill the interview dead with an inane or massively irrelevant comment or question, or drop the call. It's not that he just doesn't pull interesting stuff out, he actually kills every chance for fascination which might possibly exist. Uncanny.

This is George's largest crime.  It is often diagnosed as 'slow-witted' or 'not fast on his feet' or just plain dumb, but George is cat quick when it comes to ensuring anything interesting or thought provoking is strangled immediately..

Quote from: UFO Fill on January 09, 2013, 05:51:12 AM
... That raises the question, in my mind, does there need to be a strong middle class to revolt?

In warfare there is power and there is will.  Power is troops, training, tanks and guns, command and control.  As long as both sides have will, they will continue on.  The side with the power doesn't always win if the other side can retain will and hold out.  See Viet Nam vs the US, Afganistan vs the Russians, the Taliban vs the US, India vs Britain, etc.  It's why Iraq and Afganistan were always lost causes.

If hope is taken away from one side, they will lose will and soon give up.  The mistake the Israelis continue to make is giving the Palestinians hope - peace offers, land, money, Gaza, self limiting rules of engagement - why should the P's quit now.  When people say the Palestinians or others have no hope so they reseort to terrorism, that is not correct - they resort to terrorism because they do have hope (and will) but little other power.

So your answer is there needs to be hope (and will) to revolt.  To check this theory, review details of other current and past Revolutions

PS - This is why it's so dangerous giving in to the demands of Muslims immigrating to the West - they have the will, appeasement gives them hope (while we see it as being 'inclusive').  And by the way, soft on crime in dealing with criminals works the same way.

Quote from: somatic hypermutation on January 11, 2013, 07:21:07 AM
I immediately did the trick of reading the statement in the "voice" of the person (e.g. read this as if Art was speaking it).

To a guy who has listened to Art for hours every week for 20 years, I can say it sounds right.  The cadence, style, word choice all fit as if it is Art himself...

My thoughts as well.  In addition to cadence, style, etc, the issues he chose to address, the overall tone, and the tone on individual items all seem right.

It answers most of the questions and hangs together as a statement. If one were to attempt to read it from Art's perspective, based on what he's said over the years, these seem like the items of the most interest to him, and the way they are addressed rings true.  If this is a fake, it's a very very good one. 


addresses what a person would in retrospect think are the most important issues to AB himself,
