I like the unique warning: may cause drowsiness, so limit your activities to preparing for bed.
Sounds like you could be brushing your teeth and suddenly pass out face first into the sink. This stuff is so going to get pulled and then appear on the 1800BadDrug ads. My favorite is still the old Zelnorm ad that warned of diarrhea with fainting. Sign me up!

Here's an interesting comment from a Cleveland Plain Dealer article on the drug this commercial is pushing, "Turner says she is in no rush to try Hetlioz.

“I’m a little afraid of the medication,” she said. “I’ve been reading some of the side effects.”

Among the side effects reported are headache, nightmares or unusual dreams, and drowsiness.

Had the pill been around back in 2006, Turner said she probably would have been one of the first ones to try it out.

“But living with this for so long, it doesn’t behoove me to use the drug at this point,” she said."

It sounds like another situation where the cure can be worse than the malady it's meant to treat.  Or where the financial interest of the pharmaceutical company may trump the potential benefit of the drug.  Vanda certainly seems to have no shortage of funds for radio ads.

New age bull crap tonight. Part of Noory's health and well-being conversion of Coast.

New Age BS, quackery, and snake oil.  Just what we need. : The Age of Aquarius?  No, The Shameless Age of Noory Suckage.

What is with this Non-24 commercial?  It seems to be playing during every break now, sometimes back-to-back.  The current ad with the guy is clearly a blasted pharmaceutical ad.  The first one with the lady almost seemed like public service announcement.

I'll be studying the backside of my eyelids.

Girl in a Brooklyn bar: "what do you think about fracking?"

Literally nothing relevant/related preceded that. STFU, faux intellectual uber liberal hipster, please, I'm trying to enjoy my booze

I would have responded by asking her what she thought about another "F" word, if for no other reason than to piss her off.

I'd rather hear "Muskrat Love" played continuously for four hours than hear UFO Phil's crap played once.

E=MC**2, F=MA, and George Noory=Sucks.

Jar Jar, bet he tastes like chicken on the barbie.

I really, really hope somebody found out.  That would be the only possible way to enjoy that abomination.  Well, other than witnessing multiple Jar Jar waterboardings, prior to the BBQ.

Yes, it's a Snoory Super Sunday Suckfest with the Screeching Submerging artists.  Thanks Jorch, for ruining the first Sunday of the month!

This thread should be retitled to "George Noory Sucks and is a Big Fat Liar!"

Hahaha, Snooron The Moron strikes again.  I'm surprised he didn't confuse the flight with the Titanic and speculate "they may not have had enough lifeboats."  Next he'll be telling everybody the plane may have hit a really tall iceberg. :

An absolutely breathtaking view of the Milkyway as seen from Mars

I'm glad we're not seeing it from Uranus.

With regard to ratings, Leslie Moonvies of CBS (husband of plastic surgery addict Julie Chen) made some interesting statements about late night TV.  He says ratings are no longer important because late night TV is not as profitable as it used to be.  I think this applies to Coast.  With sNoory, Cheap Channel gets cheap programming for their stations.  sNoory, regardless of what we think of him, puts out a consistent product and shows up every night.  He seems to be a corporate toady, so he probably gets along in management meetings, too. I suspect Cheap Channel doesn't care about the loss of 7-million listeners a week.  Coast is still on top overnight and doesn't cost much, which is probably good enough for Cheap Channel.

Wouldn't it be even cheaper to run old Art Bell shows every night of the week?  It's good enough for Saturday.  Old "Lone Ranger" reruns every night would be better than Jorch.  Or just run white noise, interspersed with Non-24 commercials.

Excellent!  Jorch should continue to suck it to the bottom.

Valdez is coming.    And he looks a lot like Burt Lancaster

Bring it.  I realize Burt is apropo but I always thought Lee Marvin was more appropiate.  Nobody does the cig hanging from the lip better.  Well, other than Bogie.

Where's Valdez?  I miss  the excellent recaps of Jorch's nightly disaster.  Has Jorch become too much for even Valdez to tolerate?  If so, welcome to the  ever-growing crowd. 

To make matters worse, it's the first of the month again.  Won't this Sunday night be grand. :

This is poetry.

Thank you.  We all have our demons.  I feel fortunate to have my nirvana.

No, it's not over.  Not quite yet.  A beautiful, crisp night is back.  One of the last before the oppressive heat and humidity of Summer begins creeping in.  I thought it wise not to miss the opportunity to savor this cool night and enjoy.  Tonight it's a smooth, peppery cabernet for removing the edge of the day.  Just a sliver of the Moon has risen above the western horizon, with a few cotton candy cirrus clouds gently floating by.  Relax, and merge with the night.

Lucky you.  My local station aired some kind of dreck called "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory."

He's got em, I can't remember what for though.

They must be for when he was serving in "McHale's Navy."

Be sure to tune in Friday not for a kid you not:

Unconventional Healing & Yoga with Brad Willis

Hahaha, geesh.  Pitiful.  UFO Phil will be the perfect closing act.

Quote from: michio on April 29, 2014, 06:17:38 AM
That's what I thought he had said, "MALLware." Once again the master butcher chops the English language into shreds. Someone should read the news to sNoory out loud before he reads the news for the show. Preferably it should be someone with a command of the English language instead of a rookie who's learning how to pronounce new words.

English, sNooron, do you speak it?

Jorch should just turn over the show to one of his book writers.  It can be "Coast to Coast AM with Jorch Noory,   by Somebody Else."  Jorch can continue to do what he does best during the show.  Keep his mouth shut and catch-up on his sleep.

Speaking of Knapp's first hour guest tonight and the topic of geoengineering, I had a weird experience while out on a walk today.

There were some plains flying overhead leaving a contrail-there were something like five I could see-with maybe 3 or 4 miles between them, flying south to north. I walked directly under at least one of the plane's paths.  When I came home I had some kind of strange itching and small hives, like I was having an allergic reaction. The hives disappeared after 2 hours.  No idea where that came from. I was considering rubbing tumeric on them.

Were you consuming massive doses of Carnivora?  Sounds like your immune system was over modulating.

Quote from: Paper*Boy on April 28, 2014, 12:49:10 AM

George is an artist and often makes unique and creative choices.

I can hear Jorch's mother saying this to explain little Jorchie's behavior to his poor teachers.  Can you imagine being one of Jorch's teachers?  What a frustrating experience that must have been.  After watching poor performance through the year, regardless of your best efforts, and, finally, hopeless resignation, with a final evaluation of "Jorch, YOU SUCK!"

Knapp did OK, considering the guest, who was constantly digressing and wandering all over the place.  The guest sounded like an escapee from the Edith and Archie Bunker Memorial Rest Home.  Of course, it would have been just the usual disaster of a show if Noory had been the host.

FortRock just cued up Love Train.


Love Train - The O' Jays

The "caps lock" version, of course.

Quote from: albrecht on April 26, 2014, 07:11:20 PM
There have been several shows on it with various theories (Indonesia vs South America seems to be the consensus.) As long as it is new information, new evidence, or a new theory, than I like the shows. Especially if Knapp is going to do it because he will ask pertinent questions. Ian had a good one on it also as I recall. 

I'm just glad Nooron The Moron isn't doing the show.  Can you imagine his usual line of non-questions?  "Did Hitler escape through a portal?"  "Did angels help him?" "What was with all those duck stepping soldiers?  What was that all about?"  "Was Adolf a mean baby?"  :

I just have OTA service too, and watch a lot of MeTV and Antenna TV, but both are subchannels of the local affiliates. If the affiliates have to shut down, so will the subchannels.

I appear to be fortunate in my area.  For the large part, the locals I watch don't seem to have any connection to the big affiliates, other than they carry the decent old programming the big guys used to show.  Me-TV in my area is broadcast by a local independent.

Quote from: area51drone on April 25, 2014, 02:04:55 PM
If they (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOXl) really did pull their programming from the OTA stations, they will be replaced by other companies that are hungry for the wide audience, and they'll the new big broadcasters and the old ones will turn the way of A&E, etc, and see their numbers fall significantly.

I'm just using OTA now and rarely watch the major outfits, such as ABC, etc.  I'm watching the local stations which air things like Me TV, GET TV, THIS, etc., mainly the outfits which are broadcasting older shows and movies.  The major networks could go blow-up and disappear for all I care.  Even the local affiliates for the majors seem to have turned into versions of a never-ending "Entertainment Tonight" or worse,  even the local news.  They make the National Enquirer look like The Wall Street Journal.

Hey don't dis slathering oneself down with Tri-Calm bro!

I understand it works wonders "if you're miserable and itchy in your own skin!"  I'm not sure how well it works if you're in somebody else's skin.
