George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Morgus]

There is only one way to send Premier a message about Noory's suckiness that they'll pay attention to.    Renewing a subscription ISN'T IT.

thats for sure - especially since Noory recently has been promoting the c2c subscription service endlessing on the air and wants to get 3000 new subscribers every month.
Noory will only toot his own horn if more people sign up, he will claim it was his own ads that did it... 

[Oversoul]

I guess i would first try to determine exactly what you are "inside" of.

Lemme guess:  The "black hole" that's Noory's head/brain?

When you view this website, it looks like the first row tickets are sold out.

Probably reserved for speakers/guests/friends and not sold at all.

Well, either George's trailer trash fans have already sprung for all the $72 front row tix (ignoring the $54 tix for rows 2-24, and $42 tix for the back third of the room), or they were all comps as you suggest and he's lying again.... hmmm....

Cremo, Friedman, and Noary.  Assuming they sell any tickets at all, or enough to cover the venue, security, promotion, travel, meals, lodging, and whatever else, I wonder how the rest of the cash will be split up between them.

I wonder if the books these guys wrote will be on sale in the lobby.. I know George has plenty of his left over.

[PB the Deplorable]

So 31 seats in the first row.  Assuming each row has 31 seats, that's 1085 total seats.

Rows 2-24 would contain approx 713 seats.  At $54 each that's about $38,500
Rows 25-35 would have around 341 seats.  At $42, that's another $14,300

$52,800.  On the off chance they sold the Row 1 tix for the $72, add another $2,200.

In the immortal words of George Costanza 'what, are they seeing Sinatra in there'? 

Good luck with all that, George Noory.  Maybe he can just go on permanent tour and leave the radio show to someone with broadcast talent and interest in the subject matter.

I caught a couple minutes of last night's show. George showed off his interviewing skills with great questions like 'What about the multiverse theory?' 'Do you think good will prevail over evil?' 'What's going on out there?'

[Sardondi]

I guess i would first try to determine exactly what you are "inside" of.

The only thing I take advantage of is the archive of Somewhere in Time and Art's shows. (They offer only the last three years, so how many of Art's shows is that? 5?) The rest of it smells like George Noory's asshole. Do I need to say that isn't where I paid to be?

The Suckage, known in scientific circles as simply S-GN12.21.12, is now considered to be a second missing particle that is theoretically faster than the speed of light.  CERN reportedly has remote particle collection units in St. Louis and L.A.. 

Much like the Higgs boson has been called the "God Particle", CERN named S-GN12.21.12 the "Noory Particle", and defined it as "the stupidest thing known to exist in the universe".

[analog kid]

If they have money to throw away, I wish they'd just send it to me.   I promise to call them while under the influence of the recreational chemicals I'd buy with that money, and to be more entertaining and informative in that state than Noory ever dreamed of being.

That does sound like fun.

[Oversoul]

Did anyone catch Noory's blooper earlier tonight when he said "Nature sure wallops a pack."?  Then he immediately corrected himself with "Nature sure packs a wallop."

[MDL5676]

Good ol' Simple George once again graced us all with yet another impressive display of knowledge,unbridled brain power, superior intellect, and Sherlock Holmes-esque powers of deduction in the following exchange with Richard C. Hoagland:

RCH: In fact George, here in New Mexico tonight we are receiving our first significant snowfall this year...

GN: So does that mean it's cold there Richard?? 

Um, YEAH George... Considering the fact that it's S-N-O-W-I-N-G, I'm pretty sure it's "cold there"... Man!! Nothing gets by the Ol' Nighthawk, does it Georgie?? Moron...

-Noory Sucks-

Tonight's show was a classic. Not in this dimension but hopefully in another.  I've learned that an 'earthquake sensitive' is terribly insensitive when it comes to telling us what's causing the noises around the globe. They agreed that "somethin's hapinin" and mother nature doesn't like it.  I've also learned that R.C.H. can talk for hours (maybe days) about absolutely nothing of relevance. Heck, reality getting in the way isn't a problem. He can see what a movie director didn't want anyone but someone like R.C.H. to see but didn't want the average person to see, you see? IOW, R.C.H. can see things that aren't there as long as his soul-mate Robin likes the movie because she's an acid critic on the nitpicking details.  And what motivates R.C.H. is the love of the research. Thanks to his dogged researching skills he doesn't need to make this stuff up.

Haven't you guys figured it out? It's much easier to throw your rotten vegetables from a shorter distance, hence the quick sell for the premium seats. Warm up your pitching arm and enjoy the show.

This is another great nugget from last night's show:

GN:  "We'll be back in a moment, in a second."

I recently got a coast insider / streamlink subscription. I got tired of reading a out all the awesome shows Knapp and Ian were hosting. if I could have just paid for access to the non-Noory shows I would have. Trying to listen to  Nooron host a show is a form of punishment and I'm not a masochist

[Nebraska888]

Noory had many strange mistakes last night.........but, the biggest mistake was having Hoagland go ON AND ON about the movie John Carter.....and even Hoagland's wife saw it twice!  Big deal. 
Richard Hoagland, in his "day" was probably a great scientist (physicist).....but, he has jumped the shark into this strange little reality he's concocted and wants the rest of us to take the Lollipop Cruise along with him.

Shows such as this have become more of a case study in psychology than a discussion of theoretical science.

I wonder why Richard C and Linda Molting aren't going on tour with Noary, Cremo, and Friedman.  Just charge everyone another $25 each, and they can get their fair share of the loot.

Not quite.  Hoagland has no credentials as a scientist of any type.  As far as I know he has some kind of undergrad history degree, so even in his day he was not a scientist or physicist at all.  The only word containing "science" that is applicable is psuedoscientist.  Purveyor of BS is much more accurate.

Stan Friedman is, if nothing else, at least a credible guy, i.e. he does actual research and can make real arguments for his claims.  I hate to seem him associating with these other charlatans and lunatics.  Probably could use the money is my guess.

Nope, not even that. Exiting high school he declared himself a child prodigy and went straight to work at the Springfield science museum.

Once someone referred to RCH as Dr. Hoagland.  He admitted that he has no doctorate in anything, which is the requisite degree for any professional scientific work.  Hoagland claimed that he has a Master's in physics.  That may be true, but I doubt that he had the brain for a rigorous doctoral degree in the hard sciences.  With his illogical, fantasy based thinking, he could never have defended a doctoral thesis.

I sincerely doubt that he has an MS in Physics or any science degree whatsoever from an accredited institution.  If he has a science degree, it's probably from the Mumbai Hyperdimensional College for Girls, or some such.  I have a degree in physics and work as an engineer/analyst.  In my humble opinion, ALL of Hoagland's schtick is pseudo scientific mumbo-jumbo.  It's more likely that he has a pimple on his ass that looks like a face than there is a face on Mars.

Ahh, see, there you go.  RCH is nothing more than a life support system for a bad haircut.

I guess I agree with you.  It was only my recollection of what RCH said.  I just googled him and could find NOTHING about his education; no mention of a degree from anywhere, and no info on whether he even attended college.  What a con artist.

Noory lost all credibility IMO when he said if it were up to him he would have Hoagland head NASA.

I think Cremo and Friedman are interesting people with pleasant manners who present coherent ideas.  I actually would go to hear them talk.  Hoagland has none of the above and, in my opinion, isn't even an entertaining goofball.  He is just annoying.  I would want at least $25 off the ticket price.

[punkinpie]

I listened to the first hour of yesterday's show while I was cooking dinner.  George was on a roll with the "something is going on" theory again with some idiot that claimed to be an earthquake sensitive.


What kind of person walks around telling people that they are an earthquake sensitive?  I want to see a business card with that emblazoned across the bottom.

[b_dubb]

theres something shhhhhtrange going on

nope. people are just tired of your shitty shows

As to Hoagland, in addition he givers off a vibe of an unrestrained narcissist. Just listen to him: his whole shtick is "if only the blind fools had listened to me!". He grossly exaggerates his position, responsibilities and accomplishments at NASA. He puffs his credentials. Somehow he even inflates his minor position at CBS from what was essentially nothing more than a glorified researcher into "Walter Cronkite's space advisor"! He lives for flattery and seems to have no limit to his capacity for listening to it from a Uriah-Heep-like Noory.

He's just downright creepy, and it makes my skin crawl to hear the arrogant ass coo with narcissistic pleasure as Noory buries himself ears-deep in his ass.
