George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Sardondi]

Jeeeeezus this is mind-numbing.... Linda Moulton Howe, with her grating old lady voice, endlessly rambles on about her important research of "booming sounds" and other such nonsense. Meanwhile, George sits back and sifts through his belly hair for remnants of lunch. Some really stellar radio, no doubt about it.

..and George, for the 2783'd consecutive show, tells us, "there's somethin' really weird goin' on out there!"

LMH has never made an appearance that she has not made it sound as if humanity, if not the entire earth and all on it, is on the cusp of complete destruction...caused by man of course. *sigh* If only the nasty virus of humanity wasn't here to infect and sicken the earth, and upset Gaia's perfect balance, then we'd all be happy, and we could gambol with the elves and unicorns in the cotton-candy fields by the pink lemonade stream...assuming that by "we" we mean bugs and worms.

There is far more that we don't know about our own planet than we do, and IMO it's risky to make sweeping pronouncements until we have a solid understand of the basic forces earth is subject to. It might take centuries to understand some phenomena, and I am extremely leery of anyone who declares that such and such figures of such and such thing prove that such and such is happening and we must do this drastic thing now or we'll all die. One of our biggest problems in modern society is the disposability of data and the loss of social memory, so that we don't take time to remember (or can't) how many similar claims of disaster have been made in the last 3 centuries. It's certainly not limited to "olden days" either, when they were wrong - it's stuff from just a few years ago. It's happening now too, because it's simply human nature to go off half-cocked. 

I'm not talking ignoring common sense. But when The Usual Suspects of Doom are preaching and we're feeling panicked and ready to stampede, that's a sign to slow down and be deliberate. One test is to stand the proposition on it's head and see if you'd still agree the evidence is sufficient to prove the claim as reversed. Often this is enough to give us pause...and maybe identify some of our biases in the process.

 Have to leave now to go to a training day and get hit with a TAZER and get pepper sprayed. But when it is over George Noory will still suck

[aldousburbank]

Chuck Norris is powerless against George Noory's suckage.

[b_dubb]

there's so much awesome material here for April Fools Day pranks. hmmmmm ... what end of days scenario to exploit for AFD hilarity?

George Noory's power is his Suckage.  No human can defeat it.

He's trying to identify them on Wikipedia.

This made me think of last April fools when George Noory began his interview with Linda Moulton Howe telling her she was fired.
She believed him and actually sounded like it took 10 years off her life.
Then he mumbled "Abfril fhoolsh"

She'd lose all financial ability to maintain her web site that gets visited 1.7 times a month.

I went back and listen ed to the March 2 show "A Skeptic's Perspective" with Guy Harrison and George was just an embarrassment to listen to.  Practically the whole interview was George asking the same type of question over and over again. The guest seemed pretty laid back and didn't seemed phased by Simple George's repetitive questions. After all this time George still doesn't grasp that you can't use "appeal to authority".  Every time he has a skeptic on he throws out "my dear friend" Edgar Mitchell says ... and HE"S AN ASTRONAUT!!!! That's gotta count for sumthin, right? The reponse is always the same but Simple George just lets it slip through his ears.

also for the first time I actually heard him pronounce open as "Ompen" lol

Georgie's attempts at "building support for an argument" operate on the same principle as mass-spam e-mail ads: it costs nothing to throw out the net, and a single catch is priceless.   The negative responses are dismissed; even a tepid "well, maybe..." is taken as vindication, and bolsters Georgie for another year's worth of dead-horse beating.
A good example of where he does this is in anything to do with "Planet X / Annunaki / Anything To Do With Z. Sitchin."   No matter how many times Michael Heiser (or anyone else) totally debunks Sitchin, Georgie keeps plugging away.   On the other hand, any news of any kind of anomaly in the solar system makes Georgie speculate, and nearly beg guests to support his speculation, that "it might be Planet X, huh?  Ya never knauw!"
AND-- the very fact that the Team keep booking guests who consistently debunk Georgie on the same tired points indicate that THEY AREN'T LISTENING!

Tangentially related, and regarding "appeals to authority:"  Art Bell always amused/s me when he conflated / inflated / inducted "authorities" for his arguments.   The best and most consistent example was when Michio Kaku would muse off-the-cuff on something --THEN-- that would be transformed by Art during subsequent conversations with other guests into an authoritative and categorical "our best theoretical physicists believe (x,y,z)..."   It happened a lot.

He's trying to fit his car keys in his belly button.

[meanmug247]

maybe George's lack of brain function is the result of a stroke? we need to get this man to a hospital!

If you listen closely, you can hear the pencil he rolls back and forth on the desk.

[PB the Deplorable]

Noory sounds angry right now - asking his guest how he can find these terrible people posting hateful things on a website.
He must be reading this thread again?...

Find them?  Is that a threat, or does he think he's going to sue?


Judge:  'Your cross examination, counselor'

Defense Attorney:  'Thank you Your Honor.  Mr Noory in the eight plus years of hosting Coast to Coast AM, can you please give the court a few examples of some intelligent questions and insightfull comments you've made over the years on the show?'

Carnovora......take it and you, too, can be like Ronald Reagan!  "We thank you very much!"  OMG....that recorded commercial is driving  me to drink more than I already do!

Seems like Noory started right off with open lines tonight and has gotten several callers referencing George Knapp's show from last Sunday about strange disappearances.
Noory's pre-scheduled vampiric guest didn't show up or what? 

[Morgus]

Darn it - Noory is hosting Sunday night and its April 1st.
That means he will be again playing his dumb April Fool's jokes on unsuspecting callers... 

[Morgus]

Noory has another stupid special call-in line he calls the "outrageous line"
Gone are the good old days of the excellent special lines for area 51 whistleblowers and time travelers...

[Hugo Fitch]

Sure looks as if the VampYre Subculture expert didn't show up. George can't stop blathering on about the lottery in the meantime. "Can you imagine someone winning $600 million? Their...their (his word) life would change instantly!", that retard just mused.

Really, George? No shit. Is this what the fuck they pay you for?

[Morgus]

And its even no good if we hope that  Noory wins the millions in order to give up his c2c hosting job.
He said on the air he would keep on hosting even if he won...

[Morgus]

Sounds to me like Noory is already playing a big early April Fool's joke on the entire audience tonight... 

[sleeplessinca]

I love how callers keep commenting on George Knapp's good show over the weekend.  Snoorey can't stand how everyone likes the other hosts' work better.  He has finally shut that down with an exasperated  declaration that serial killers are hiding out in the parks and picking off unsuspecting visitors.  It's not aliens, so there.

[Zelig]

Caller:  You can't get 18 contrails over one intersection...

George:  Something strange is afoot...

Maybe we will get an update on the T Rex baby!  Some of the dimmer callers asked about it for months last year.  Noory would say something like, “I recall that show; it was on April 1st.”  The caller still didn’t get  it.  Could this be part of the reason Snoory is still on the air?  As dumb as he is, many of the listeners are dumber.
