George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Yep Noory again dumped a guest as usual without any warning, explanation, or anything.
After the bottom of the hour commercial break he came back with one of his regulars, Joshua P. Warren, without even mentioning the earlier guest after that or even saying goodby to him.
They probably just hung up on the poor guy...

At one point the guest must have used a bad word and Noory hit his delay button to keep it from getting on the air, but he did sound angry telling the guest "you can't use that word!"
That was probably his death knell from "G-rated" Noory...

I was blocked out of this site for 24 hours, apparently due to maintenance (maybe my cache needed to be cleared out).  That's okay, but I've forgotten how agonizing it is to sit through a couple hours of Coast without this support group.  The Noory moments were as densely packed as I've heard them last night, and I kept trying to come here to type or read something.  I eventually lost the stream  and never tried to reacquire it so I didn't know the guest had been booted.

Regarding Morgus' comment, after Noory's little scolding the guest came back with something like "okay, it scared the SHOOT out of me then."  He had already qualified the fact that he was trying to express the thoughts he had as a child during his encounter and that was the reason for his language.  Earlier I had noticed the guest apologizing several times, sounding mildly annoyed, for no apparent reason.  One time he said something to the effect of "sorry, excuse me for saying 'you know'".  It was hard to tell whether he was correcting himself on his own, or if he was receiving some off-air coaching from Noory.  If Noory is telling people how they should speak off the air, it adds a whole new dynamic to his abysmal hosting abilities.

It's the sad truth we all know about why Noory is such a poor host.  He's more concerned about managing the format rather than having any interest in the content.

One thing I don't understand, and it happened again during that buh-zarre transition to Joshua Warren. Jorch said something like "In a moment we're going live to Puerto Rico and Joshua P. Warren to talk about the chupacabra." Aren't all his shows "live"? Or...are some of his interviews pre-taped?

George won't let Ian say the full title of his book because it includes the word "pissed."  George tells people what words they can and can't use on the air - and then promotes ALEX JONES, one of the most obscene human beings to ever walk the earth, a man who has made a career from the death, suffering, maiming and grieving of thousands of innocent men, women and children.  What Jones DOES is more obscene than the vocabulary of a drunken sailor.

Clueless George likes and respects Alex Jones.  If Jones showed up at my front door I would order him off my property.  The man gives obscene a whole new meaning.

Noory just got into a long interruptive tale of his life in Detroit and all the jobs he had back then in the 60's and 70's...

[Immy]

I cannot BELIEVE how rudely earthquake guy Jim Berkland was treated by the Nooron tonite. Just as he was making a fascinating point about June 23rd's potential for activity, Jorch cut him off. I doubt he got 60 seconds of airtime. And all this to go to some guy talking about winning at slot machines. Effing ridiculous! This is the extreme low of lows for c2c. I was so pissed I fired off an apology email to Jim at his website. It was so sad because Jim even started off asking if Jorch had forgotten about him. I may have turned a corner where Jorch is no longer just a buffoon, I genuinely despise him. 

[Morgus]

now Noory is playing one his fav's "Luck be a Lady" by Frank Sinatra.
i bet he will sing his own rendition of that song at his upcoming Vancouver event later this month...

[SnapT]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  A guy gets lucky playing slot machines, and that's C2C material? 

Though the part where George GUFFAWS while the guy talks about racial profiling is hilarious.

Pre-taped. And boring. Warren is interesting though. Loved when he sent George a Rober the Doll.

[Morgus]

Noory's guest right now is in Hawaii, so of course Noory brings up his new studio located near him...

[Meanandnasty]

that's the one where he keeps the cardboard dog and the blowup girlfriend.

[Scully]

Noory again just mentioned his "studios" in Kona, Hawaii, which he says he will be using "soon."  The studio has now expanded to an unnamed multiple.  :   

[Agent : Orange]

In terms of interviewing and radio skill I put George somewhere between a hammer and a ham sandwhich.

Now that really does piss me off. Berkland is a fine guest, real and authentic. He has taken a different road when it comes to earthquake forcasting, and it seems not only logical, but it appears to be working. His track record is pretty impressive. Jorch just doesnt like guests who are credible and upfront. Makes him look bad because he hasnt a clue on the subject. He can BS his way thru the other crap because nobody really gives a damn. Curse you noory...pinheaded imbecile...

George does not use the language well, and this is another example of him away from his cue cards and ad libbing. 

In this case he doesn't quite get when it's appropriate to tell the audience whether the next segment is 'live', or realize that's going to be the assumption unless told otherwise.

It also suggests more of the program is recorded ahead of time than we may realize.  It certainly tells us George will try to inflate his and the show's image and importance - as in 'the next segment is live, isn't that cool!'

like Noory's improper use of the word 'classic'

That's a good point PB. He thinks it adds urgency in a "breaking news" kind of way, but we know it's a buzzword for "guest dumping time".  :

Ain't it the damn truth, Abby!!!  :

        Noory hates the intelligent sane populace...

I believe that is the segment of the population that Noory refers to as his haters.  It could be that there is a mutual hatred?

[WOTR]

I can't imagine how having a pawn broker on could  be entertaining or interesting. And its not even a real pawn broker, its one of those idiots from that "reality" show Hardcore Pawn.

Riveting radio..

But hardcore pawn can probably use a bit of free publicity and Noory will be able to use some new cue cards shuffled in with the old.
How did you start in this business?
Tell me about your book er, rather, show.
Do you have a website?
What is the most unusual item somebody has pawned? (guaranteed that he asks that.)
Do people ever pawn haunted items?   (perhaps I am just hoping that he remembers that coast can include the paranormal.)


Besides, there should be some stores of human misery for him as pawnshops sometime cater to those with habits and those nearly broke and loosing everything.  Perhaps a good story of somebody who had to sell their wedding ring and wheel chair to pay for their terminally ill child's treatment?  He can snicker smugly asking if they had to crawl to the bus and then offer that he would certainly have offered to help pay the bill as that is just the kind of upstanding, caring citizen that he is (so long as he can just pay lip service and tell us that he would have helped without actually having to do so...)

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

For some reason, I was thinking about George's standard question regarding how much better Einstein would have been with computers.  For a few moments, it occurred to me George might be a genius.  I have studied some undergraduate physics and read about Einstein's life and have often thought about how absurd this question is.  But the true genius of it isn't merely that it's absurd, it's just how absurd it is and how many buttons it would press for a physicist. 

A simple answer for such a question cannot suffice.  There are layers upon layers of explanation necessary to even approach a satisfactory answer to such a question in order to explain it to a deceptively simple mind like George's.  George only needs to ask a few such questions and he can take most of the night off.  He doesn't even have to listen to the answer because he knows nothing compelling can come from it.

I thought George was a genius for a moment, but then I listened to a few more minutes of him screwing everything up and realized what a sucker I had been.

Bravo, George.  Bravo.

You've got Jorch down pat, WOTR! Kudos.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  A guy gets lucky playing slot machines, and that's C2C material? 

     I thought slot man Ernest Cobb was great.  It was refreshing to hear some street smart, karma fearing, stripped down, don't even bother to ask me dumb questions, sincerity.  Yeah, it ain't traditional c2c material, but George beats the life out of the regular fare like he did with Michael Salla, who was pushing the "aliens are everywhere and we've been secretly talking to them for years" thing.  It took George an hour to ask him "where are they from?"  An hour to get to the "where" part of the story?  Really?  At one point Salla's phone line dropped.  Here was George's ad-lib: "O.K.  Tommy, see if you can get him back.  Michael Salla...he's written a lot of books...with pages...in Hawaii...studio...studio...I have one there...one day...we'll...my brain stopped working...Tommy?...Tommy?"
 

cool

I thought this guest was pretty good too. At first I wondered why he was on C2C, and then I learned he had magical control over the old one-armed bandit. He's on the right show.

You mean Toronto, Morgus?  Ah yes, 'Ol Dead Eyes belting out his fav's, with the rest of the Toronto Rodent Pack driving the crowd wild.  :

More incomprehensible sophistry tonight from a guy who it seems should know better:

"Meyer is developing a more fundamental argument for intelligent design that is based not on a single feature like the bacterial flagellum, but rather on a pervasive feature of all living systems. Alongside matter and energy Dr, Meyer hows that there is a third fundamental entity in the universe needed for life: information."

David Wilcock with a Cambridge education, I'm thinking.

[VtaGeezer]

Yep Noory again dumped a guest as usual without any warning, explanation, or anything.

Probably not even the decency to tell the guest that their segment was over.  That's Noory's way.  Just leaves them hanging on a dead phone line, wondering how a news/commercial break can last so long.   He does it to any who demonstrate that they're not going to let him pigeon-hole them and to those who express disagreement with any of his stated positions.

Ahh well. At least it's something NEW. I also enjoy listening to people who genuinely believe their own BS. The sincerity is refreshing on a show packed to the rafters with self-aware snake oil.

Jorch's third grade question of the day (on Charles Darwin): "Where did he get these things, anyway?" 

His feeble brain couldn't even muster the word "theories."

[popple]

Did Jorch ask Josh to contact the spirit of the dead squirrel from under his bed? Sorry, I fell asleep around the time he told his guest he couldn't say something.
