But they always have turkey sandwiches on whole grain bread.

Who knew we were just a pizza roll away from a new host.

There was a warning on the back of the box.  OMG

Am I really hearing this story?  What a rube.

I am beginning to wonder if Noory's absence is a cliffhanger stunt to generate interest in the show.  If he comes back with a wild story that he was abducted, we will know.  There is still not an affiliate in Chicago carrying the show. 

I hadn't listened to WLS regularly for a while.  I turned it on yesterday and was astounded by the number of public service announcements that were being played during commercial breaks on the morning drive show.  The regular host, Don Wade, a beloved curmudgeon, has been off the air for several weeks after being diagnosed with brain cancer.  I'm not sure if the lack of advertisers was due to the fill-in hosts or if Cumulus is not doing well with the changes that they've made.

Consoling an ill friend, I typed this message to her, just several minutes ago, but caught it before hitting SEND:

"I hope your bronchitits abates soon."

Was it a slip or simply a typo?

I thought it might make an interesting topic, whether with personal experiences or reports of Noory (or whomever) revealing the Mundus Subterraneus.

(For the record, I honestly only meant to express my empathy for the condition of her tronchial bubes. - Cam)

Dude, you totally want to play with her boobies.

I expected My week with Marilyn to be a horrible movie.  It was difficult to envision Michelle Williams as a blonde bombshell.  There were no other new releases in at Redbox so I rented it and was pleasantly surprised that she is one hell of an actress.

Comcast On Demand has a National Geographic series called Amish: Out of Order.  I expected it to make me angry, but it was actually one of the best documentaries that I've ever watched.  I grew up near Amish country in Indiana close to where the Devil's Playground episode was filmed.  Many people have a misconception that the Amish are clean-living, pious saints who shun the outside world in favor of pursuing righteousness.  I was thrilled to see that this documentary series captured some truth about a cult that is just as pointless as any other.  To me they are smelly, inbred assholes who run brutal puppy mills and leave a trail road apples in their wake.

Tony Youn creeps me out a bit because he does plastic surgery on Asian people who want to look Caucasian . . . there's a limit to what seems rational -- lightening or darkening hair or even color contacts doesn't seem off the wall.  But people who want to change their appearance that much are suffering from something far worse than just the standard issues of beauty . . . and this guy makes a buck off of their hang ups.

That is actually a very common procedure.  I don't understand it, but I've known several women who have had it done. 

I like how you think, Morgus

yep, just like the other Noory fan boards he promotes on the air.
here is another one, same type of group of Noorites every night:

Does it make me a bad person that I want to go terrorize them by saying horrible and dirty things just until I get banned? 

Can we designate a spy from here with the user name GNSTDC?  (for George Noory Sucks the Definitive Compendium)

I checked it out and they're just a bunch of nerdy robots with nothing to say.

Earlier today, I ate something which left me in despair - severe abdominal pain, in need of bowel evacuation. Possible remedy was a bottle of cherry-flavored Mg Citrate; but instead I happened upon the following post by Albanne from TheNighthawkNation, which worked in short-order:

;)Whoever wrote that has lost their mind!  Hal, your little guy on the toilet capped things off.  That was hilarious.

George hasn't hosted open lines since the kiddie porn call.  This Friday Wells is hosting.  I don't believe in coincidences.

No station in Chicago, the #3 radio market in the US, carries C2C? No station in Dallas, the #5 radio market, carries it either? Now, I'm certain there are stations outside the literal Chicago and Dallas markets where residents of those cities can hear C2C. Still, this is stunning news.

Have podcasts/online listening destroyed radio as we knew it? Or is there somethin' goin' on out there with C2C? Myvote is there is something going on with C2C's programming, and the game of musical hosts that's been played the last couple of months is evidence of it. Someone really thinks the problem isn't George Noory? Well, that's possible only if he 1) has no input into guests and topics, and 2) has had guests thrust upon him against his will. And I don't think that's possible. I think people have just finally had their fill of the Incompetence of Simple George.

Toppling a huge radio show which has little direct competition, and has a large and loyal audience, is like turning an aircraft carrier: it takes a long time after an action for the result to be seen. For example, how long did it take each of us to abandon C2C in frustration? And a lot of folks here haven't even done that yet!

George, I think the the chickens are coming home to roost.

I believe that Coast will be on WGN in Chicago soon.  The market is too large and there are too many talk stations that would be happy to get the Rush/C2C package.  I placing my bets on WGN because it is a 50,000 watt Clear Channel station who currently has no big names to speak of.  They are conservative talk nobodies.   

I actually think that Coast will be ok.  Cumulus acquires only medium-to large markets.  The competition is nipping at each other's heels.  If one station dumps Rush there will be a competitor to go after his show and if they get Rush they get C2C.  It's up to the Premiere sales team. 

According to the C2C website they still have 546 stations.  A handful of those are repeaters, but it is still a decent number. 

The sad thing though this is that I don't think it will affect George's position at all.  The fault will lay on Rush, not George.

It is like any other remote, unpopulated state with very little sun.  Drugs are the quickest and cheapest way out of town.

My visions of Maple trees, L.L. Bean sweaters and campfires are starting to evaporate.

It has become a fucking nuthouse full of stoners making money by selling to other stoners.

"Not only does Vermont lead the nation in marijuana use, its 18- to 25-year-old residents are among the most likely in the country to have used cocaine or other illicit drugs in the past year, according to a federal report released Thursday.

The findings come as no surprise to health officials in the state, who say Vermont perennially ranks near the top in per-capita use of alcohol and narcotics..."

Do you think things would improve if you didn't have medical marijuana or was it bad before that passed?

Quote from: M. Knight on April 15, 2012, 05:28:26 PM

Jesus, sounds like you are describing the entire state of Vermont.  Proper English will get you immediately branded as gay, and having an ability to read above 3rd grade will get you hounded out of town by hoards of toothless drug addicts and drunks.

That's interesting.  As a midwesterner, I view New England as being a tony and affluent part of the country.  Obviously, I've never been there.  My travels to the northeast have only been to Boston & Philly. 

Is Vermont special for some reason?  Is there a liberal welfare system?

Quote from: Sardondi on April 13, 2012, 06:16:17 AM
Hmmm. To quote somebody, "There's somethin' goin' on out there, that's for sure."

I wonder if George remembers how it was he got the C2C gig: they brought him on once, and then again a month or so later, and then he filled in on weekends for a month, and then...

Rob Simone tries to hard to have the voice of God.  I don't care for his delivery.

Question:

Should the call screener be brought into this discussion for allowing the caller to reach Noory in the first place?

But for the sake of argument, suppose the screener knew the score and still allowed the call go to Noory.

I considered this.  I've listened to countless hours of talk radio and have never heard this nonsense on any other show.  Maybe the screener was bored that night and wanted to see just how far George's understanding nature goes. 

George could have dumped the call as soon as he said what he was convicted of and claimed they lost connection.  Of course, George would have to be quick on the uptake to pull that off within the ten seconds or so of delay.  Nevermind. 

Quote from: Usagi on April 09, 2012, 11:39:38 PM

Next, they'll stop playing "Chase" at the beginning.  That way, they can not only disfigure the face and desecrate the corpse of my favorite show nightly, but violently destroy the dental records on top of it.  Ah well.

[Where's the "Ross Mitchell left so he can go announce on Art's secret new show" theory?]

On a side note here, what is with "Dancing Queen" being played constantly as bumper music?  When did that start?

Quote from: Sardondi on April 08, 2012, 11:27:01 PM
About an hour ago I wrote a (totally futile) email to Premiere's public relations address, making this very point. I said I had noticed a trend to what passes for "serious" topics at C2C, with Noory having many more "fear porn" guests like Alex "Slavery Is Upon Us And There's Nothing We Can Do" Jones. I said IMO that was useless, since people have never come to C2C to get their news - they come for paranormal, UFO, weird, spooky, goofy, silly stuff that is escapist.

Well said. 

Quote from: analog kid on April 08, 2012, 09:39:18 PM
I'm quite world weary enough without delving into this subject matter on C2C. Do believe I'd skip that one, if I still listened to George. It's like the deluge of murder entertainment on cable - I'd rather just not know about these things.

Quote from: tmock00 on April 08, 2012, 09:52:02 PM
I heard this show as well, and just when I thought Coast to Coast couldn't possibly sink any lower, George proved me wrong.

I have a legitimate question for everyone here:  Why would George want to do a show with a convicted internet pedophile as a guest?  I just can't wrap my mind around it.

The interest in speaking to him again bothered me.  I don't want to know!  It doesn't feel like a Coast to Coast topic to me.  C2C should be more X-Files and less evening news.

The part of the conversation that really bothered me was "I'm not talking about people who go out and murder people and stuff like that obviously, but I really want people that when they finally get out of prison to get their lives together -  to get rehabilitated."

Many times murder is justifiable.  Kiddie porn and child molesting is something that you can never argue was acceptable or a misunderstanding.   He was too much of a pussy to stick to his guns that he didn't believe that child molesters could be rehabilitated because he was on the telephone with one.  What an asshole. 

Who screened that call?  Is Tommy-boy just fucking with him now? 

Quote from: Sardondi on April 08, 2012, 08:37:23 PM
I have some experience in this area, having been a state and federal prosecutor for over 25 years, and also having had experience as a defense attorney.

Are they, generally speaking, validated by attention?  What do you think would motivate this guy to call up a radio show and confess to his perversion?

Quote from: WOTR on April 08, 2012, 03:44:31 PM
I am happy to say that I missed it.  Please tell me you are exaggerating things?  That useless waste of space is fawning over, and asking a fucking pedophile for contact information?  If he were an actual journalist or had a shred of decency I would expect that the upcoming show he wants to do would cast kiddie porn guy in a bad light.  Instead, being as he does not want coast to be confrontational I expect him to give the guy an hour to explain the advantages of preferring relationships with kids over adults.  Perhaps he is hoping to swap pictures and stories with they guy?

Have I mentioned I hate George  (and he sucks.)

Sadly, Sir, I am not exaggerating things.  My thought was that this guy should be stoned to death outside the courthouse.  He's a sicko.  I felt dirty typing this.  Ugh!

I can't post it to You Tube, but here is the transcript.....



Call starts around 13:51.  Jay in Hamden?, CT



Jay it's your turn on Coast to Coast, Hi Jay

Hey George it's a pleasure to speak with you. I'm a former inmate in CT prison and that's where I learned about your show and I have to say on behalf of all CT inmates listening to C2C has helped us get through many long nights in prison, so thank you very much for that.

You're welcome.  We get lots of letters, I - I get personal letters from inmates who are in prisons all around this country and I hope all of you the best and that you're able, when you get out, if you get out that you can rehabilitate yourself and go on and have a great life

Yeah, and that's exactly what I've been trying to do and I guess one thing that's encouraging me to call you tonight is George you are a very open minded person and that's something that you should be commended for.  I guess I've heard you talk about prisoners before and correct me if I'm wrong but overall you believe that most prisoners can be rehabilitated

YES

But you don't believe that internet pedophiles can be rehabilitated.  Is that correct?

Uh, well, I didn't get into the specifics of internet - I just said pedophiles.

Just pedophiles, ok.  

Yeah, I have a very difficult time thinking they can be rehabilitated. 

Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about today because George, unfortunately, I do fall into that category. 

HE SHOULD HAVE DUMPED THE CALL AT THIS POINT!

What did you do?  Can I ask you?

Yeah, I had some illegal images on my computer - child pornography - and I've had some other issues too, but I'm not going to go into that, detail about them.  I have not molested anybody but nonetheless I am in the child predator category.  

Do you think, Jay, that you were capable of molesting someone?  A child?

You know, I'm definitely, I'll always, be capable of that and that's part of the treatment process.

Sure.  When you were growing up, as a kid, as a young man, as a boy, did you get molested?

I was not molested, no.

You were not.  What was the trigger that got you into this area?  Something had to have happened.

What happened was, well there are different triggers to my offense nature, however, I can tell you that I dealt with deviant thoughts and fantasies since my early teen years and unfortunately I chose to make bad decisions and not manage those in proper ways.  Which unfortunately led me to chose to break the law. 

Would you say that you had a pretty good upbringing as a kid or a bad one?

I had a very good upbringing. My parents are the most loving wonderful people on the face of this earth.  They believe in unconditional love and that is something that I believe in as well.  I guess what the biggest point that I want to say too is that first of all this does not justify my behavior or anybody else's behavior but with that being said there are two sides to every story.  As far as the type of things that I've had to go through in my life and the difficulties - and the bad decisions that I've made because of these difficulties in my own life.

Well, there's no question about that, Jay and I hope that one day you prove me wrong in terms of my thoughts about that, uh, because I really want prisoners, you know I'm not talking about people who go out and murder people and stuff like that obviously, but I really people that when they finally get out of prison to get their lives together -  to get rehabilitated.  I've got a friend of mine.  He's a security guy in St. Louis - great guy - he would watch over people at clubs and stuff, make sure everybody was ok but he had some priors when he was a young person growing up in the inner city.  You know, nobody dealt him a great hand and so he had priors and apparently he had a gun - he wasn't supposed to.  He had it in his house and apparently somebody called the police on him when they saw him breaking into his car HIS CAR.  He was trying to get into it, I guess, and the police came and said what are you doing and they arrested him.  He said this is my car.  Well, they somehow went to his house and found the gun, realized that he was not supposed to be carrying one and the poor guy gets seven years in a federal institution for this.

Oh, the amount of time that's given for all kinds of crimes, and let me tell you when I was in prison, I've heard so many stories like that and it does, it blows my mind and finally we have a governor here in CT who is trying to avoid that because not only are people going to jail for situations like that but there's also people who are getting their probation violated for all kinds of things where they should not be violated - they should be reprimanded and given another chance and because of the budget issues that we're having in CT which I think is true of every state in the union, you know, they have to cut it down because it costs a fortune to take care of us whether we're in for life or whether we're in for a couple of years. 

In your particular case, do you think you can win - that you can defeat this, these demons within yourself?

The way I look at it is I try to compare myself to someone who battles alcoholism.  There's no magic pill that can stop alcoholism although there are medicines that can suppress the urges and in my situation it's very similar.  There's no magic cure and I'm aware of that but I'm also aware that my activities are against the law for a good reason - because I've hurt people, not just the victims that I've created but also my family, my friends, everybody has been hurt by my situation.

Were people shocked when this happened to you, when you got arrested?

Oh they were shocked, and actually, I'm glad you brought that up because I have had a lot of friends that are still supporting now that they know about my situation.  However, they are supportive, but one of the things they said was we didn't think you were like that.  That's kind of my whole point because George, let me tell you there are a lot of people like me.  I have a college degree but unfortunately for one reason or another I have these temptations and these urges. 

All right Jay, I want you to hold on because I want to get your number, if it's ok with you - I may want to do a much more in-depth program with you and some other people about this, but prove me wrong, friend, prove me wrong on this...I hope you do.

Have any of you listened to Friday's open lines?  During the first part of hour 3 George gets a call from someone who says he did time for kiddie porn.  George asked him lots of questions and was courteous to him.  Before the call was over he asked to put him on hold because he wanted to get his number for "a future show."  WHAT THUH FUUUUUCK??

If you can figure out how to take a really long time to say that exact same thing, can I be your agent?

I head for the hills the minute I hear:

Dames was completely useless when he volunteered to help find the old man that went missing in Nevada. The missing persons case was discussed on a Knapp hosted show and then a week later there's Dames with an update. A useless update. What a dick

Sylvia Brown was ousted for a similar faux pas.  It has always bothered me that a busted prediction was the reason that she wasn't allowed back on George's show.  I understand that it was emotionally charged, but it seems like an overreaction when compared to all of the other failed prophets.
