NOORY INCOMPETENCE EXAMPLES

[Lunger]

....For example, he'll interrupt a long spiel by the guest and say, "About three years ago I was in St. Louis and took a break from the eight hours a day I spend in show prep, and I walked out to look at the night sky and get some air.  I saw a haze around the moon and thought of the biblical prophecy about the moon turning red, like the red algae you described.  There's no such thing as coincidences!

.....

Anagrammy

That should be on that idiot Noory's tombstone, because it describes him perfectly.  I am still scratching my head over his satatement about Bigfoot, "Since the orgins of human-kind there have been sightings of Yeti, Bigfoot....."

Wait, What?

[Scully]

I have been noticing an increase in parenthetical self-references inserted awkwardly when a guest is speaking ... This derails the momentum of the guest.  My thought is that Noory is sensitive about not being part of a conversation, even if it's an inappropriate or jarring interruption.

Anagrammy

Me too, Ana.  I was really struck just last night by George starting off by telling his first guest that he was born just one state away from him.  "Don't you just LOVE the Midwest?" George chirped. The guest indulged him with small talk for a few minutes, then started talking about what he had come on to talk about.  George broke in to bring him back to the subject of where they both live now (at least part time) -- Los Angeles. And on  and on ...

I understand the premise of establishing a rapport with another, but, as usual, George's responses just seem way out of whack.  I would honestly suspect some kind of brain disease if I hadn't listened to the video of George as a guest on Alex Jones' show recently, where he seemed totally engaged and on his toes.  I think he's just completely out of his element on C2C, and after almost 8 years, he's just bored silly. And we're suffering for free, while he's getting paid to be miserable. 

[anagrammy]

Wait, What?  Lunger--that's perfect.  I can't tell you how many times I look up from what I'm doing and say, "Wait, what?" when Noory is speaking.

This is a kernel of Noory incompetence that is difficult to describe because if you notice, each of the sentences is perfectly ok standing alone.  They are just goofy when placed together.

Didn't somebody do a study once about people whose right and left brains didn't communicate.  And if I remember correctly, this was the result.  The left brain delivered the factual statements but their congruency was off because the right brain wasn't connecting them into a logical flow with a point that made sense.

Last Monday the caller said, "The Hebrew Book of Matthew was discovered in the 1980's and analyzed.  What happened with that."

Noory:  "We'll find out about the Hebrew Bible of Matthew after the break."

I just joined this forum and in fact, after a solid 15 years on the internet, this is the very first forum I have ever joined! As you might be able to guess this particular topic is near to my heart. Like everyone else I'm sure, I was once a happy, tired but very entertained radio listener. Then George Noory came and ruined my primary form of entertainment with an idiocy that has to be historic in the radio host vocation. Where once there was a steady stream of un-screened crazy callers, wonderful interjections, interesting guests with a host to get the best from them, great stories to keep you up thinking and many a warming "indeed", there now is a mouth breathing moron who would be better suited with a lifelong career as a seventh grader. I have been deeply saddened for years with my loss and but for my search for Art's original show archives (oh how I wish I had saved those when I had the chance) I would not have found the streaming internet shows and this forum. Thank you all! I was amazed at reading this thread because my good friend and I have been exchanging nearly the exact same sentiments for years. It's good to know we are not alone. So, I guess, what I mean to say is, my name is Ted and I...I am an Art Bells fan and I find George Noory a weak methadone replacement INDEED!

Hi Ted,

Welcome to CoastGab!  As my children say, "Mom finally found her peeps on a board."  For me, the pleasure of Coast has been replaced by the pleasure of documenting the trainwreck of Noory with smart, sassy friends.  Great first post!

This is an example of an amateurish attempt by Noory to accomplish a natural segue:

TAYLOR:   ...so when I came back, I didn't know how I got there (out of body experience).

NOORY:  Let's see how we got to West Florida, hello NAME......

Anagrammy, have you taken a look at some of the older posts in the 'Definitive Compendium' thread?

I doubt that many people have read the whole thing, since it's three years old and hundreds of pages long.


I was browsing it a while back, and I found that starting around page nine, a user named Meegle posted tons of excerpts of Noory goof ups. It looks like for a while, he would listen to the show each night and transcribe the "highlights" of George's incompetence.

It might be useful for the database you're building.

Thanks, Digitech, I actually have in mind for the next time I catch a cold and have to spend a day in bed, I thought, I'll go through the entire Compendium.  You saved me some time, though, so now I know it is definitely worthwhile, there's lots of gold flakes and nuggets in the Nooryism stream. 

So what happened to the poster, did he just disappear?

[George sucks]

Bravo, just found this thread. An effort to prove that George is incompetent... vs. hyper-critical ranting. Which has to be done. Otherwise we would die. The guy is a cheese grater on the brain. But it's nice to see focused effort at getting him gone. Going to repost the link in the GNS thread.

There was mentioned, speech therapy and backwards speech analysis. I swear he was getting some therapy a year or so ago. You could hear it in his syntax. Slowing down to speak so he wouldn't fumble so much.

He did have a backwards speech person on as a guest. And this person did actually record George and decipher some of his speech. The guest said he found a line where George said "I don't believe in UFO's", "but they make me money". No joke. George laughed and went to the break. Hope someone else remembers it.

Welcome, georgesucks.  What we are doing here is collecting examples.  While we have many reported incidents, we lack dates and guests' names.  I've asked the loyal listeners to help me out on this because I am posting to an excel sheet.  The project may die because I have little help. 

You do have to provide examples, and be specific.  We know the producer is looking for specific examples, so listing even minor ones contributes to the aggregate.  Do 15 minor pronunciation errors constitute ample cause for termination?  Probably not, but coupled with one or two huge ones, it adds to the category of "Unprofessional." 

Keep in mind, we mean him no harmness and some of his mind-bogglers are too subtle to actually document, like the stringing together of his famous canned responses, "Amazing and Too Many to Count" which sound ok when printed like that, but when placed in context, like a person talking about her persistent scars following her abduction, MAKE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

If this doesn't work, we could always chip in and have him outplaced by an agency, maybe filling in for Glenn Beck on TV?  He could take a crash course on eyerolling and crying on cue, give him a blackboard and 25 writers and there you go....

Just let us have Coast back before it's too late.

Last night during Snoory's "News cast" he mispronounced Yuri Gargarin's name as "Your-o Gurgurgian"
This was the only fuckup I captured before I fell asleep- but I'm sure there will be more tonight.

George keeps interrupting the guests with ridiculous insertions of himself.  I am not sure what to call it--self-aggrandizement?  I'm open to suggestions.  I was going to ignore it, but this is increasing.  It goes like this.

Guest:   The nuclear reactor in Simi Valley had a severe incident in the 50's and it was covered up.

George: That's near our office in Los Angeles!

Guest:   Yes...(clearly derailed since they didn't have an office in Los Angeles in the 50's so what's the point?)

Suggestions welcome, and thanks for your help Just One Fix.  It is a big job tallying all the incompetence single handedly!!!  I could use a team...like volunteers for first hour, second hour, etc.  I keep falling asleep or becoming so agitated I can't continue.  LOL!

On April 11th, Alex Jones was cut off.  He came back, there was brief speculation about the government being responsible and indicated that these disconnections happen at key moments, to break his thought train.  He wanted to get right back to Harold Camping's prediction of Doomsday on May 21st.  So he asked Noory directly, "George, what's your take on that?" 

George:  (awkward pause)  Something's afoot, that's for sure.

I guess that would be "repetitive" but it strikes me that the refusal to give an opinion is an opinion.  George is not afraid to say that demons are real "we all know that."  So why won't he comment on Harold Camping's prediction?  What would Art have done? (WWAD)

I suspect Noory's lack of intellect is a desired attribute by his bosses. (It more than explains the products he's willing to endorse.)   While we're waiting for the senseless to come to our senses (because clearly they're lost on their own), might I suggest we take the most glaring (and repetitive) Nooryisms and form them into a bingo card?  I'm sure we'd have hourly winners.  First one to get five up, down or across can yell "idiot," "moron" or whatever soothes their agitated soul.  The prize would be just getting through the show intact.

George probably gets distracted, wondering if he has enough changes of clothes to last until May 21.  Those socks and underwear he's wearing on Doomsday may have to last for a while.  Also, can he avoid mowing his lawn that long without getting a warning from the homeowners association?
And of course Doomsday couldn't come at a worse time for Alex.  He's got a new CD (End of America #38) and it predicts the end will come late in the year.  Maybe he should re-pitch #37.  Or rename #38 "End of Heaven."  Afterall, it is reasonable to assume that all of the late Rothchilds and Rockefellers have reorganized the Federal Reserve and New World Order in heaven.  They are chipping and taking everyone's guns at the Pearly Gates.
And WWAD?  Write down the dates and say, "Next caller."

Richard Dolan, UFO investigator

Dolan:  He said the ship was placed on alert because a seaman reported a bearded man walked right through the bulkhead and warned that the ship would blow up tomorrow.  We discovered the worse leak in the history of the Navy.

Noory:  How do you get the documents, Richard?

APPROPRIATE QUESTION:

Do the analysts think he was a time traveler?
Did he look human, or like a hybrid, or a reptilian?
Did he say anything else?
Did he walk back out or just disappear- where did he go after making that statement.
Was it telepathic or verbal?
What was he wearing?

Noory for supposedly being a newsman in his former career(not the current career of destroying radio shows), should know better than to ask how the man got the documents. Maybe one of us should call in to C2C and ask Noory, "It's my understanding from the safe commercial that you have a vast amount of files, where did you get those files?" Noory would hang up and go to a commercial break most likely.

I see this as one of the many occasions where George attempts to show that he's no fool -- he knows the score -- at the expense of the guest's story, and once again he trips on his own hind leg.

Please tell me someone is documenting George's vomit inducing responses on open lines. My lithium addled mind is unable to comprehend this onslaught of buffoonery. He truly is in classic inept form.  Have to go. Must remove all sharp objects in my house. Must hurry!

Anagrammy - (not sure how to use quote function yet) Believe me, I have absorbed every  thread from its origin. I am relatively new and certainly will contribute.  Listening to the radio live,  I find myself in a perpetual stupor listening to Noory, a horrid paralysis which prohibits pen to paper. Any recommendations on how to quash Noory's I.Q debilitating spell. My D&D experience is useless against this creature's curse. Please, in need of suggestions! Cannot endure any more harmness!                   Sorry if post is a mess. You know what has happened.

To protect your own metal health, there are some precautions to be taken.  Just like never looking at the sun except through smoked glass during an eclipse...

Always be doing something else while listening to Noory, i.e., only use peripheral hearing
Keep notebook handy.

People have become suicidal when exposed to Nooryisms directly, without protection.  And I know I don't have to tell you never to listen to Coast right after hearing Art on Somewhere in Time.  There have been suicides...

George used to be so thin skinned he probably read everything posted about himself on the internet instead of preparing for the show.  Imagine being the person who inspired some of the best jokes and parodies of the Internet Age.  Eight years later he is punch drunk and has no where to go.  He didn't have to be the biggest failure in radio, but he chose to be a lazy shill who dummed down Art's great experiment right here at the beginning of  a renaissance.  The renaissance will continue without him and the people who look to him for enlightment.  George, in he meantime, has been reduced to waiting and hoping for one shining moment to justify his career at Coast.  The would likely be the hope of  something bad  happening on the Winter Solstice next year.

For the rest of us it has been a fun adventure and education.  We all made a lot of new friends who gather here and keep the torch safe and fed.  The renaissance will not die here.  It is alive and growing, and we already see the torchs of like minds on the horizon.  We don't need another hero, but one will arrive in due time because the network knows that communities like ours soon may no need one.
