so... george reads a few news stories at the beginning, takes a few calls from some half-wits who started listening to the show in 2006 and have no idea wtf they've missed, and then brings on a guest who provides him with a list of questions which he dutifully reads for the next 3 hours.  this requires 8 hours of fucking showprep?  is he kidding me?
this MUST be true.

Yep, to hear him say it.

But I believe him and Tommy take that long just to piece together the shows with repeat guess.  I've listened and sometimes I swear faintly remembering his guess say the same exact thing.  It was like that with the psychic who had the weird white hair -- I forgot his name.  Y'all know who I'm talking about, he plays Vegas and looks like a white haired Elvis.

I remembered during the show the psychic was talking about Lacey Peterson's disappearance just before they found her body and he was helping Lacey's father.  It was another one of those stupid George Noory times when he failed to ask the next logical question that everyone else would have asked, which would have been did Peterson really murder Lacey and how did he do it.

But nooooooo, the idiot again switched the subject altogether then I remembered having the same reaction to the same subject with this same psychic.    George and Tommy had simply rebroadcasted an earlier show only interjecting up to date information in the first hour along with old snipets of open lines.

This is the reason for the 8 hour prep.  They did this with another frequent guest.

They're probably pressing the tape and skipping out trying to pick up some old chicks or retreating to a hotel together after falling in a uh.....what did he call it....a swimming pool and getting soaking wet? lol

P.S.  I would wager that he also tapes some segments of the first hour too.

I used to sometimes frequent the GLP before it was shut down and just before it was  given a death sentence I pointed out how one of you know who's shows sounded very familiar.   Well one member pointed out that it was against FCC rules to rebroadcast without first announcing on the radio as such.

During the call-in segment of the show I remembered some of the calls and questions.  Then as I suspected there was GN saying we were only a few days away from April 19th, but we were in the month of May.  I went to C2C's website and nowhere was it indicated a rebroadcast of any part of the show.   The following night listing the prior night's show in the last sentence there it said "first hour open lines rebroadcast of April whatever, 2006 or 7" (sorry I'm getting old and my memory sometimes goes on vacation).

I don't listen to his show much anymore (thank God) but sometimes do when I'm feeling depressed and need a laugh.  I do remember another show having the same qualities.

Seems the dynamic duo might be rebroadcasting shows with repeat guest along with open line callers.  This is the reason for that 8 hour prep GN talks about.  I guess it takes that long to snip and tape shows together.

You even gotta laugh when they included all those callers giving G a compliment.

Now did the GLP shutdown the thread because they were warned before not to keep count of the thread in competition to another GLP or did it shut down because this little secret was out?

ev... unfortunately, it goes beyond this.  he has for the last couple years used a screener even while in pahrump.  the only exception to this (in pahrump) was during open lines.

about a year and a half ago i heard a caller ask art why he is using a screener, and art replied that he has always used a screener for guests.  this is bullshit and i don't know why art said it.  i REALLY wish i could find the audio of this exchange.  he seemed to be suggesting that during all of those years he was running the show, the only thing not screened was open lines.  anybody have any idea wtf he said this for?

I believe it's true, Art always had a call screener.  I can remember the old days of Bell and he'd mention her name.   Although the screening was different than these days.  His call screener was there to make sure people called in on the correct lines like East of the Rockies, West of the Rockies, and his special call in line.  His call screener would also make sure you asked a question pertinent to the topic.

Snoory's call screener asks word for word the exact question to be asked  and I think to give an opportunity to dump the call.   As it appears it looks like the screener doesn't care if crazy people call or if they're all over the place regarding subject.

LOL

I don't want to get ahead of myself but I'm waiting with bated breath to hear something good.

I went to the FF site just to browse around and get past information.  I was happy to find that Art Bell had posted within the past few days.  I was wondering what he was doing with his life now.  It's maybe just me hoping for something better than what we've been receiving, I don't know but I read something in those lines he wrote.  I don't know it may be nothing and I don't want to get my hopes up too high.  But I'm tired of not having another option.  I would be happy to have another option even if it weren't the return of Art Bell, at least someone with half a brain to compete with the moron that's on now.  I would welcome even listening to a internet show with the same concepts.



Hope I'm not breaking any board "laws" by posting this link.  But I think others would be happy to read Art's own words too.

OOPS!  I did break a board "law".  Sorry, didn't mean to do it.  I just read the board rules and wasn't aware that this particular site was a no-no.  Oh well, maybe others can figure out how to get there.  Again, I'm sorry.

We understand this sort of work but Snorry didn't.  He thought in terms of them going to a regular 9 to 5.  He asked if Cheney would go back to Haliburton.  Snorry's thinking is they'll be clocking in on a job working for someone else. 

These people who held high positions especially past presidents work in whatever their passions are and not a boss.  Snorry couldn't wrap his pea brain around this.

I also want to add, I listen to the show now-a-days and I want to cry.  It's torture trying to listen to him.  He's everything Art isn't.   Wish there was another option out there with the same content and level Art used to bring. 

Art had people on the show that crossed all sectors, whether it had a religious edge, science, paranormal, political conspiracies, history, space, weather and on and on he covered the gambit.  He wasn't afraid to tackle the most brain twisting subjects.  He knew how to ask questions of the most highly educated guest as to make someone like me understand without a problem.

Snorry asks questions on the level of a grammar school student and his callers reflect the same level.  Art's callers not only asked pertinent questions but while doing so shown they fully understood the guest and reflected their intelligence in the question they asked.

Oh how I hate this show now.  I guess the only reason I continue to tune in is in the hope I'll hear another voice hosting regularly from here on out.  A good voice with a brain attached to it.

I agree with you. 

I don't profess to be the smartest person in the world and I know I'm not but I got some smarts.  

It's quite apparent that he really can't follow all that well.  I think some of the guest go waaaaayyyyy over his head.  He's yet to ask a complex question.  I'm surprised at some of the questions he ask.

As for the calls, I get ticked off when he doesn't converse with a caller further when the caller has an interesting story but he lets the crazy stupid ones stay on the lines for days.

Everything is habitual for him, he doesn't have an original thought in his head or way of doing things.

No, what had to be the worst was last night.  Snorry asked the financial lady (sorry I can't remember her name) in regards to the what Bush, Chaney, Paulson would do once they leave office.  I couldn't believe he asked the question.  I was embarrassed for him.  This woman must have been thinking what an idiot.

Snorry asked what type of job would they do once they left.  She had to explain to the dummy that these people have lots of money, Paulson probably about 80 million in a Swiss account and that they aren't concerned about working.  She told them these people are content to just use their money in the market and/or use their money through friends to acquire more money.

Now this, in my opinion, had to be the stupidest question Snorry has ever asked.  It was so childlike.

I have a prediction!

George might be there for a little while but I truly believe Art will be back in full form.

Something tells me that Art will lead his come back to compete with that Snorry.  I believe Art is staging a come back now and is only gathering capital and waiting for that non-compete contract to expire which if I'm not mistaken will be this month October 23, 2008.

There is no way this C2C can continue on with so many people not liking the show how it is now.  I called in for a show weeks ago on a topic that was interesting.  I got through right away.  This let me know Snorry was lying about the ratings.  I always tried to call and get through when Art was heading the show and NEVER was I able to get through not even on the 100th try the lines were so busy.  It won't be long before Premiere will be forced to do something.

As for Art, knowing how Art get itchy about working.  I would be happy if he only worked most of the year then take off for summers.  He could have guest host that would take over for a week rotating with our favorite guest host and maybe a few favorite guest (except that Hoagland...he's another self-promotion arse).

What say you?

I really think Air[head]ry tries to sound like the late Johnny Carson.  I remember Johnny Carson sounding a lot like this, with extending and over exaggerating s's.

As I said before and believe Airry is possibly a narcissist.  Narcissist copy others quite a bit.  Maybe somewhere along the way Airry may have idolized Carson and decided to pick up his manner of speech.

FYI:  I believe it was said after Carson's death that he and McMahon drank during the show which may be the reason Carson a lot of times seemed to slur.  Remember they always had those cups on the set which I think they were the first talk show to always have them.

I would agree with you and I'll go further.  I believe George Noory to be a narcissist.  I've encounter enough of them in my life to suspect.  Narcissist exploit and use people particularly those weaker people who are more vulnerable, no surprise he would prey on crazy women calling the show and thinking it's o'k.  Although he isn't limited to just women, he seems to enjoy keeping the madness going with all crazy people calling the show and wasting time with them.

The amount of times he speaks about himself.  The fact he constantly wants this nice guy image to be shown.  The way he always says he was in the Navy for 9 years, making you believe it was full service for all those 9 years, and I believed him until I googled him and brought up Wiki.  He's was in the reserves for 9 years, I've never heard him say Navy Reserves on C2C.

And how many times will I hear when he does the advertising for the dog food him speak about how he gave a friend a dog and pays for it's care?  The friend who is nearly destitute who lives alone and has no one.

I'm also surprised at how he never gives Art Bell his real props.  Yeah, he mentioned Art Bell during the time of Art's award but he did little more than that.  I think maybe an hour dedicated to Art maybe?  If it were me I'd be kissing Art's butt if for the simple fact that he enabled me to get this phat job.  Noooo, Noory speaks of his childhood days of reading a few sci-fi books, looking at old sci-fi movies, and using a telescope as something akin to Bell's experience and knowledge.  He's always referring to his childhood, St. Louis days and that aunt of his that he seems to think every expert has heard of and read her book over the turn of the century.  I really think George is resentful and maybe a little jealous of Art's popularity and how so many love Art.  This is maybe one of the reason's I think Noory has changed so much about the show.

But all and all Noory wants to project this image of him being a shining knight in armour.
