just turn off the radio and save yourselves the discomfort

" that would be really cool "

" I still can't figure out how you create something from nothing. "( vis a vis the Big Bang - I guess Snoory doesn't consider G*d as the culprit ).

Of course there are other universes other than the ones we can see perhaps on the other side of the edge of our universe. Chemicals and gasses formed stars and planets. What's so hard to fathom about that ? For all we know a type 6 or 7 civilization created everything as a huge science project for their version of high school.

I turned on the program to hear the guy talk about NASA. I don't think his hopes have a chance in this anti spending, anti tech, luddite, low information voter atmosphere, but I do agree with Jerry Pournelle that we need to go back to the moon, build a moonbase and mine the asteroids. Particularly before some of them wind up squashing us all into pulp.

And what's with Snoory always mentioning that he knows Pournelle ? I've known Jerry for years ( on a peripheral basis ). We've sat together at cons and drank beers and sung folk songs, and I've asked him about science questions periodically, but we're not close friends, though I do admire the hell out of him and have his books on my bookshelves.

Snoory talks about him as if they're buddies or something.

He has a great blog though and if you want to read interesting commentary on politics, science and the like, go check it out sometime.

Here's one of the topics brought up with disturbing implications.

Is Obama afraid of the American people revolting ? What does the DHS need with light tanks ?

Famous singers and such have talked about the shortage of available ammo. Recently various government agencies have been buying up everything in sight.


Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks to Go With Their 1.6 Billion Bullet Stockpile

Which raises the question of why?  Has the Congress gone mad, or does it not know of these expenditures? Given the cuts due to sequestration, it would seem to me that equipping a Praetorian Guard capable of governing without the consent of the governed might not be so urgent as, say, Air Traffic Controllers or even TSA airport safety officers. According to this article â€" and I am not at all familiar with the web site â€"  this is a force more suitable to suppression and intimidation of popular resistance than one designed to overcome any easily foreseen terrorist threat.  Perhaps someone knows more about this?

George is having trouble keeping up with Dr. Tyson, even though there's been very little science discussed.  He keeps missing the point and bringing up completely irrelevant observations.  Tyson mentions Pan Am and Howard Johnson's in the movie 2001.  George:  "Howard Johnson's is still around.  They had great ice cream."  Tyson talks about how everyone knows the names of the early astronauts, like Buzz Aldrin.  George:  "He's 83, by the way.  He's a toughie!"

Oh my head!!!!!  There is no way Noory is understanding anything this guest is saying. 

" so what do you think is on the other side of a black hole? ". He's like an 6 yr old... How the hell does he come up with the thoughts he spurts?  I'm just going to say it, he's a retard.  No question!  Maybe it would be better to feel sorry for him.

What do you think is on the other side of a black hole ?


Snoory's brain or what's left of it.


I hadn't heard the first hour until now. He had Robert Davi on and made a point of mentioning that Davi saw him and said " Oh, my G*d. It's George Noory ! "or words to that effect.


Will this guy ever stop name dropping to prop up his ego ?


Davi played a real asswipe in License to Kill but we would have never heard this crap from Art Bell though he did talk about his appearance on Dark Skies, though at least it definitely dealt with UFOs and the paranormal.




Now he's ( Davi ) a singer. More power to him but why does Snoory continually have Hollywood types on a show that was famous for the cutting edge and the paranormal.


Does Snoory somehow feed off these people by sucking off their fame energies ?


We never would have heard a Debbie Reynolds or a Pat Boone on Art's C2C, though he did have Crystal Gayle on and Willie Nelson, but at least they had a tie into the show through the bumper music and Midnight In the Desert.


I wonder if Art ever did that Chupacabra film he mentioned he was going to me in when he did TAOT.

Now sNoory has the callers doing it.  Robert Davi was talking about a role in which he would have a girlfriend.  He was telling that the studio brought over 17-models for him to choose from and was beginning to describe how he chose, and he just got the word "kiss" out, when the caller interrupted and asked him how he liked his role as a villain in a Bond movie.

George Noory sucks and is like a zombie virus spreading to the audience.

     Actor Robert Davi called Frank Sinatra's influence on American music "Picaso-esque."  I like the term, but what did he mean by it?  I could have missed it. but I don't think George followed up on that.  George and Davi seem to be "a thing" these days.  I think it might have something to do with the "lounge singer" that lurks deep within George's soul.  Based on the sample of his music played tonight, Davi sucks, and his version of "Summer Wind" (one great tune) is a nightmare.  Neil DeGrassi Tyson has learned to dance around George's idiocy and always makes for a good segment.  George should be ashamed that the callers had infinitely better questions than his tired lame observations.  I didn't know that black holes, at the end of their lives, give back the energy they consume.  Something for me to check out on youtube.  Did you hear George defend his belief that not only have aliens visited earth, but they also genetically spawned the human race?  No.  You didn't hear that because George knows to keep his trap shut when adults are in the room.

I know, the caller totally cut off Davi just like George would do.  And I wanted to hear about how he chose his co-star and who it was.  I think he started to say Talisa Soto, but it still would have been an interesting story - way to handle the flow of the show George.

He does not understand the three dimensional nature of space?  Did he really say that?  They teach this stuff in 6th grade.

Yeah, George has what I have only been able to label as "Idiot Tourette's".  This is when he doesn't blurt out profanity, but stupid-ass remarks to his guests.

[Ph.D. guest] ... black holes...blah, blah, dark matter...blah, blah, movie 2001 relevant to the story...

[intelligence quotient-challenged host]  [acting as Rain Man] ""Howard Johnson's is still around.  They had great ice cream." 

[Dr. Michio Kaku] .... quarks, yada yada, black holes... space matter..... space time continuum....
[Rain George]      .... Isn't it neat how shtars (stars for us) twinkle at night?

[Dr. Michio Kaku] .... sighs and bangs his prize-winning head against his monitor...

It seems way to many of his callers have a script and a want to "drive" the conversation down a particular path.  Really takes any spontaneity or thought out of the show.

I actually know 6-year-olds who have the curiosity and focus to have asked more probing questions that That Idiot Noory!

I would have to go with retarded.  Noory is clinically retarded.

It's more that Tyson himself will simply not consider that as a possibility. Such hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty astonishes me. And Tyson sees no inconsistency in positing theories of the beginning of things, and yet categorically rejects the possibility of a creative intelligence. That is faith. Not that he'd have the honesty to admit it.

 

I like Davi; always have. He`s a cool cat and always has a good story or two.

I say to the materialist AND theist/creationist:  "There's more in heaven and earth than dreamt of in your philosophy."  It's premature to make definitive statements on the origin of existence.  What we will know in a few hundred years, assuming humans don't self-destruct, will make our current theories similar to a primitive's understanding of thunder, i.e., Thor is pounding on his anvil in heaven. 

There's a link to a little video ad for Noory's Internet 'TV show' by guest Marla Martenson. What is there about a Hollywood dating service operator that's Beyond Belief ? Another Noory project goes down in flames.

Yet another show tonight about the Anunnaki and their creation of humans from hominids already on Earth. Whose agenda is this ? Is there any intelligent person who believes this nonsense ?

Being a helpful soul, and a bit of a space buff, I sent this to George:

QuoteAldrin is correct in claiming that his was the first voice heard from the surface of the Moon. However, it was not "Tranquility Base here..." It was the techy stuff:

"Okay, engine stop. ACA - out of detent. Mode(s) control - both auto. Descent engine command override off. Engine arm - off. 413 is in."

Only then did Armstrong voice the more famous words.

I think "Beyond Belief' is already a failure.  sNoory wanted 10,000 people to sign up before he starts his charity to needy listeners scam.  He said he already has 1,500, WOW. 


With nothing better to do, I calculated (correct my math if wrong) that if only 1,500 people signed up out of the 3 million weekly listeners once alleged on C2C website, it would mean that only .05% of the audience wasted their money on sNoory's internet show.  The audience is dumb, but not that stupid. 

Tyson handled Noory's inane dumbness well. His role as a science apostle to the media gives him plenty of practice with airhead interviewers.[size=78%] [/size]

Yes.  Great way to put what I was thinking the entire time, which was, what does this guy think when Nimrod Noory jizzes after every sentence the guest gets out.  Is he struggling as in he needs to work harder at perhaps over talking the retard as if I was sensing this, but alas, you are correct.  He handled Nim like a 6th grader, a giggle here, a delicate 3rd grade description to Nim's question there.

'I' was the one sensing, feeling and getting annoyed for the guest!  One of the reasons I skip so many shows.  Noorys ejaculations give me a headache.

I smell a familiar flower....

Perfectly put

I'd like to personally warn Noory of something, not because I wouldn't take great pleasure in his next incident, but because I really don't want to hear him talk about it:

I am surprised he even got that many. The show has nothing at all to differentiate it from its radio counterpart.  Noory might be looking to transition to daytime TV.  Coast already has all the blandness of an Orca Windbag.

Noory would be perfect in a soap opera.  He's already great at saying the same stupid things over and over which I believe is the number 1 skill requirement to get on one.  Granted number 2 is being comely, but they do use the occasional homely person.

I'd agree, but MV has already yelled at us about that. 

In Hollywood, he is described as uncommonly handsome.

I hate to admit I listened to a Snoory show, but am I imagining things that in hour 3, the second hour of the interview with Josh Gates, 25+ minutes in (without commercials), that Gates said "We don't fuck around with them?" meaning the victims in his new new show?  I listened closely, and now it seems Gates softened the "k," but it still sounds like one of the dirty seven words to me.


Not to be the moral policy, or anything.


Gorgeous George, of course, didn't seem to catch it.  He was prepping the next question on his cue card.

Just more evidence of how oblivious he is to all that surrounds him.  Art would have caught that.
