Looking at some of this stuff I kind of wonder why some of you listen to the show at all?
I loved the show when Art was hosting and they would get into some of the more creepy stuff. I used to work late and would listen to the show and on more than one occasion it had me so scared I went around and turned on all the lights in the office.
Now, almost all the topics are mind numbingly dull. It has become a show with a dim witted nincampoop trying to display what he finds interesting. The really low level of intelligence it takes to see through these topics is an indication of how dumb the audience has become. How anyone can find numerology, food, or religion at all interesting has a pretty low threshold for what they'll accept as true. I harp on about crystals. I can't think of one single sentence that would be interesting about crystals. The most interesting thing about them is their geological creation, and thats not interesting at all.
Let's face it... Art used to make things interesting because, regardless of the topic, he approached these topics with an intelligence and the ability to ask questions that an intelligent person would have to have answered to give any credence to the topic. Thus, he could take something you normally would write off as nonsense, and he would force the guest to present evidence that would make it at least possible, in theory.
George doesn't have the intellectual curiosity to consider the logical questions you need to ask about some of these topics. The only way you will get a good show when he is the host is when the topic is interesting enough on its own that hearing the guest speak about it is inherently interesting. George will inevitably bring the topic down to the LCD, and ask the most obvious and stupid questions, many of them the guest will already have answered. You will get maybe a good 45 minutes to an hour at the very best out of a 4 hour show.
Like most everyone else, I wont listen to anything to do with religion. If I wanted to hear this, there are plenty of religious stations that have it on all day long.
Angels just turn into schmaltz. Anything that becomes a sentimental, hallmark hall of fame show is garbage.
on a similar topic, is anyone else pissed about the "prayer list" he has every week? I've talked about it in another thread. I have no problem with people praying, but this just turns it into the 700 club. that's not at all in line with the audience Art was getting... but noory is too stupid to understand that.
i cant remember his name, but he keeps having his guy on, i think he's irish, and the guy is just a terrible radio guest. he was last on to talk about hp lovecraft. i find lovecrarft interesting, and normally, just hearing about the guys life and his work would be something that would be able to overcome noory's ignorance. unfortunately the guys droning, pausing "uhh uhh uhh" delivery made it impossible to listen to him. i turned it off.
honestly, i dont agree with a word that comes out of his mouth, but alex jones is at least a talented broadcaster and can overcome george's dumb questions. He can take one of noory's idiotic queries and spin a 10 minute conspiracy so floridly insane it is actually gripping just seeing where he's going to end up.
but folks, we now have a show that caters to dumb people, and until we get noory out of there, its going to be after that audience. noory really shouldnt be hosting this show. he should be a morning, drive time dj. those shows thrive off of bland pleasantness. people dont want to hear anything challenging or thought provoking in the morning. hey just want a nice pleasant voice to drone along while they are having their coffee and trying to wake up. all you have to do is not be controversial. Art's stock in trade was controversy, or challenging topics, or thought provoking radio. it was a bad mistake and a betrayal of the audience when they brought in this idiot to host a show we all loved.
