George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Scully]

This has been said before, but what really bothers me about the Nooron is when an intelligent guest or caller just made a multi-dimensional, intellectual point that begs for elaboration or an incisive response, and old "cue card" simply says "that's true, now let's go to commercial".  He should just say nothing and start the pink viagra commercial immediately after the guest or caller speaks.  It would be less disturbing to the sophisticated listener.

And just let me reiterate the same thing.

Haha, I love it when he does that. I believe it was during last night's show, when a guest made an interesting and thought-provoking comment about how the CIA was involved in the assassination. George sensed it was a good time to cut in and said 'That's exactly right. Ok, when we come back we'll take your calls...'

Guess George knows what really happened, since he loves to confirm everything...'Right!' 'You are so right!' 'Absolutely!' ..

     Lloyd Pye is still trying to raise 2 million dollars for a DNA test on some skull he found somewhere to prove it's alien origin.  And what was all that talk about "coneheads"?  Really?  Although I like Linda Moulton Howe, I was kind of distracted, and I tuned out through much of her segment, but I regained my focus during the last hour where some guy called in about a ufo he saw, and her questions to the caller were those of a serious, professional, paranormal researcher.  Another guy called in talking about atoms, and magnetic fields, and George said, "well, that's going to take some time to answer, and we've got six calls waiting, and Linda, I don't thing you're going to be able to..."  And  Linda cut George off and proceeded to deal with the guy's question in a knowledgeable, respectful, and sincere manner.  She can have George's job tomorrow.

Remarkable that the scientific outlook for the most fundamental factor influencing the world's environment and economy is discussed only in the depth of the night. Literal Mouldy Cow presented both sides of the current scientific discussion of the likely strength of the current and next sun cycle.
Her discussion of von Däniken's latest book was also of interest; von Däniken declined to take part, possibly because at age 78 he doesn't wish to pass his remaining hours in the company of the Snooron, and sent a Belgian representative.

Now, someone who loves it when he does that has permanent Noory ass breath.

After six or eight years of Boory, I doubt there is a sophisticated listener left.

     Lloyd Pye is still trying to raise 2 million dollars for a DNA test on some skull he found somewhere to prove it's alien origin.  And what was all that talk about "coneheads"?  Really?

Noory probably thought Pye was talking about the old Saturday Night Live 'Coneheads'

As long as the guy had a von Daniken-like accent, that's all that matters. 

[fysisist]

     Lloyd Pye is still trying to raise 2 million dollars for a DNA test on some skull he found somewhere to prove it's alien origin.

Lloyd Pye is on, what?, every 6 or 8 months with that same old pitch about the "Star Child".  And he's always just short of the funding needed for this or that definitive test.  Sure, I buy all that, Lloyd.  As a matter of fact, the entire C2C guest lineup essentially rotates through a 3 - 6 month cycle.  Further evidence that listening to Jorch kills brain cells.

$2 Million???  More like $50K for the tests, $1.95M for...ummm...overhead.

Does a mention of von Daniken still prompt George to start talking about how he 'devoured' Chariot's of the Gods as a child - years before the book came out in 1968?

Interesting that he 'devoured' that one, then apparently never read another, certainly none von Daniken has written since George has been hosting.

[fysisist]

I was gonna' wait to see if General Johnson Jameson would say it, but I can't hold out:

The only thing Noory has devoured is a homeless man's c*ck. 

... although I think the General would state it more eloquently than that.

[Morgus]

Pye said last night the lower prices are only for "fresh" DNA  not "ancient" DNA - the latter demands a premium price.
Odd that Noory didn't offer the idea for his listeners to each donate $1 instead of trying to find one billionaire to donate it all...

[b_dubb]

what difference would $1 make?  and why should George's mom be compelled to sacrifice for the benefit of a bullshit guest?

[Morgus]

Noory did it again tonight - cutting a guest short and going to open lines.
Tonight he cut main guest John Michael Greer down to two hours and went to a final hour with open lines and 'miracle' stories...
I notice Noory tends to do this with guests who end up professing a belief opposite of that of Noory's main ideas.
Tonight's guest confessed he believes in peak oil, totally opposite of Noory's wacko abiotic oil theory. So soon after the guest commented on that Noory went to callers an hour early, a coincidence?

[valdez]

    John Micheal Greer on how the world will not end.  George, who lives for end times, defended his beliefs, and all those clairvoyants of the past he's always raving about. Actually, George never defends anything he's "convinced" about.  Dr. Patricia Ariadne on...I'm not sure...very sweet lady, though. A bit distracted. Happy Thanksgiving, Coastgabbers!

Last open lines gave us a caller who had 6 DUIs and said he didn't have the bravery to commit suicide. Oh 'those open lines!'

And yes.. This call gets through even with call screeners...?

And, HorrorReporter, let us not forget the the caller who learned a Life Lesson when he had a blackout during a drunken binge.  The one whose wallet and cell phone were returned the next day . . . and funny thing, he didn't even remember losing them!    He did, however, remember stumbling home with his pants down around his ankles and his "old lady" letting him in and being so worried that she called the ambulance when she saw his bloody face. 

His life lesson?  He got sober.  For a couple weeks, anyway, till--he admitted freely--he "got stupid again." 

Sheesh.  This is George's audience. 

[b_dubb]

classy stuff.  if george had any sense he'd tell them to seek treatment.  i'm sure he didn't

In Radioland, not George's World, last night at midnight began the Thanksgiving holiday.  All salaried call screener's, not George of course, are on holiday.  A fill-in perhaps?

This is something else to give Thanksgiving for, regular calls screeners at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.

....I'd imagine lots in the audience 'understood' what this DUI expert had to say. Nothing paranormal about the pants dropping.. no need to get Linda Moulton Howe on the case, or even that solar flare dude who sounds like the new JC. No, not a need at all.

Those open lines...........

[Frys Girl]

I listened a bit and couldn't get any idea of what the subject was. George Noory was reading questions off of a card that had nothing to do with the guest's answers. it was terrible. The guest said something cool about end times mythos having origin in the Zoroastrian tradition! WOW. Awesome. George didn't know what that was or who Zoroaster was.... so no follow up. Would be nice to ask and admit ignorance so the audience can learn too. idiot. Coast to Coast AM is a joke.

I never really noticed, but how often do George Knapp and Ian Punnett cut guests loose early?  Or Art Bell?

Noory's bloated staff is supposed to be doing show prep, including speaking with the guest ahead of time to deternime the show premise and topics, and whether the guest is right for the program and can interesting on the radio in general.  Then to prepare a few questions to get things started or for when a certain topic is exhausted.  The guest usually suggests a few questions as well. 

There shouldn't be this constant miscommunication about how long a guest is going to be on, but George either breezes through his cue cards then runs out utterly refusing to have a real conversation, or gets bored, or doesn't want his pet theories to be contradicted.

To me, this amount of guest dumping is just another example of the complete failure of George Noory.


And by the way, does he still insist that he's just the host, the one bringing different view points to the show, just looking for thuh trooth, and that we don't know what he really thinks about any of this?  Really George?

[El Kragen]

I wonder if George will do tonight what he did last Thanksgiving and have on someone to talk about what temperature you should cook the turkey and how to properly handle leftovers?

Classic Coast to Coast!

Maybe we should expect some. . .recipes!.   Turkey casserole is just what the audience ordered. 

[Morgus]

Close, here is what is scheduled for tonight from the c2c website:

Thu 11-24
In the first half, fourth generation Texas farmer, Eric Herm, will discuss how the Thanksgiving turkey you just ate was probably fed with GMO corn, and how the emergence of 'frankenfarming' will probably send the cost of food soaring while it poisons delicate ecosystems. He'll share what it will take to ensure bountiful, healthy harvests in the future.

It's even worse. I've contacted guests whom has Noory has treated that way.  Seems he doesn't even give them the courtesy of an explanation or apology; he just never comes back after a break, nor does a producer or the screener.  They're just left listening to a dead phone.

[VtaGeezer]

I never really noticed, but how often do George Knapp and Ian Punnett cut guests loose early?  Or Art Bell?

I cant' recall instances where Punnett or Knapp cut an interview short (not saying there aren't any), but Bell did it occasionally and made no mystery of it it to the audience.  I seem to recall a time or two when Art B actually told the guest he was "...leaving it there, ...bye."

What a miraculous and heart warming story it was. Noory attracts some of the best callers.    I'd like to ask Georgie a couple of questions.  How do the obviously inebriated callers get through, and how do the same callers (some regularly inebriated) get through time after time when other callers on their first call say they've been trying for YEARS to be on C2CAM.  It's a mystery wrapped in a Nooryfied Tommy inside a one neuron Noory.
