George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[PB the Deplorable]

I'm a big Seinfeld fan and I've just discovered Curb Your Enthusiasm (never had HBO before GoT!), which is the perfect compliment to the show.  Man, Larry is awesome.

My husband and I have a theory that we can immediately determine if we'll like someone based on whether they were a Friends or a Seinfeld fan.  Friends partisans get ditched immediately.

I agree with you 100%.  I wish they'd show more Curb Your Enthusiasm reruns because there are a lot I haven't seen

I have been tuning into c2c less and less but last night Jim Bell intrigued me enough to give a listen.   While Bell was speaking, the insight did prove to be interesting but the long, long breaks ruined any continuity.  I remember back when Art Bell hosted and if a guest was asked a question and their response was "that's a long story", Art would answer back with a statement such as "this is radio, we have lots of time, please proceed with your story".  To me that was one of the magic elements that made "The Art Bell Show" so addictive.  Now c2c is nothing but promotion and selling product.  Does any one on the blog have a break down of the time spent on content and dialog within one hour of broadcast of c2c now compared to say the year 2000?  c2c = commercial2commercial!

I think George likes hanging out in LA, giving speeches, and making friends with movie stars like Pat Boone.  (I have been going to Mysterious Universe now, thanks to the advice from someone here.) 

I miss the guy from eastern Connecticut, the amateur astronomer, who used to call in.  Guess he, like others that were good, got knocked off. 

I found this blog recently.  Glad I am not the only one who finds George an absolute dumbass.

Art, the dumbass ate your baby!!!!

A very easy going Jim bell on the wonders of space.  I didn't know there are other "dwarf " planets beyond Pluto.  Namely (I just looked it up), Eris, Ceres, Haumea, and Makemake(?).

I love cool stuff about space.  I want to hear more cool stuff about space. 

Well, that or turmeric.  Or pizza rolls.  Or coincidences.  Or horrible maimings, poisonings, train derailments, and other tragic events.  Yeah forget space, would much rather hear about all that great stuff that Noory loves.

[MV/Liberace!]

Seinfeld got good after season 4. Curb is brilliant.

i say beginning with season 3.

Joooorchy. In reference to Seinfeld's grumbling of Newman's name, and how happy we are to hear him.

[NoMoreNoory]

Right at the last minute, the C2C website manages to change TBA to Joshua P Warren on the Bermuda Triangle (although we'll be back there on Monday). I wandered onto Warren's website to encounter one of the most appalling pieces of con-artistry I've ever seen. His block of wood with 1970s hi-fi knobs attached called The Wishing Machine. Yours for just $195!

Joorch is amazed that it's really quite warm in America at the moment and has to get Bitch Mattress on to discuss it.
IT'S FUCKING SUMMER, YOU DOLT. IT GETS HOT!!
And of course Joorch won't let Bitch go without getting out the violin and the begging bowl for another sob story about his back trouble.
And we've had 'The Boston Strangular' (sic) and a nonsensical reading of a fracking story which included sNoory saying 'short of' when he meant 'short for'.
And for this you get a lifetime contract? I'm losing my mind.

[SheilaVG]

And why does no one help him?

[NoMoreNoory]

Apologies for three in a row, but I have to note how appropriate it is* that immediately after Noory's contract announcement, we've hit 911.
'What's your emergency?'
'Sanity! I need sanity urgently!!'


* You know, I don't believe in coincidences. Everything happens for a reason

[SheilaVG]

So I tuned into the show late last night just to put myself to sleep and some guy was saying something about an announcement George made. Even if I had Streamlink right now I couldn't bring myself to listen to an old show of George's - yuck. Does anyone know what the announcement was? If it's  not that he's retiring, is it that he's at least cutting back? Gosh I hope so.

And why does no one help him?

[Designx]

My goodness the weather is so hot the earth is sweating.

Just the opposite. The announcement details are at the c2cam website with a link to a PremRat press release from last week.
Noory announced he has signed a new long, long term extended contract to keep hosting c2cam for years to come - he said out to when men land on Mars....

Art may have been on to something with all his climate change shows.

The current guest explained a recent sighting that was in the sky... Jorchy acted so amazed and said did it look dead? The guest had to reitterate that it was an entity in the sky... Quite nicely played to save Jorchy.

[coaster]

His contract runs out sometime around the death of our sun. Noory will be broadcasting his bullshit long after we are dead and gone. So exciting..

[Cloudtreker]

George is, without a doubt, the most egocentric, self aggrandizing radio host on the air. His delusions of intelligence are laughable. It continues to baffle me, that the lemmings that follow him, look on him, and his mis-informed opinions and statements of fact, are seen as some kind of great knowledge and wisdom. I fully expect him to interview a member of the flat earth society at some time, and have him fully agree that the earth is truly flat. When on the rare occasion George has a real scientific authority on, he's completely lost. He's only at home when his guests are self appointed authorities, such as Joshua P. Warren. (A high school grad, who's found his niche in so called "scientific studies", that can only be viewed as money making scams.

In tonight's news segment, George had

-an item on the "Boston strangular"
-a report on fracking, which is "short of" hydraulic fracturing
-an explanation that "stem cells can become from" any part of the body
-three "of courses" in a span of ten seconds

This man just signed a long-term contract.  Enjoy your weekend!

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Tonight's open lines question is something about not sleeping well.
I'm just going to take a wild guess, but many of us (me included) don't really do lots of sleeping.
Or we seek out times when it is easy to be alone (like late at night when everyone is sleeping).


Hmmm, a caller complaining about her glaucoma surgery ruining her sleep:


CALLER: I need to get in touch with Dr Roger Lier, I have some implants
GEORGE: His web address is
CALLER: Don't give me that web stuff, I have no computer. I am blind.

Please tell me you're joking. Amateur Astronomer, Atheist and Asshole Bill from West Hartford gets on the air multiple times a week.

Just think how lazy and bad Jorch is going to be in the future, since he think's he's got job security.   This thread should be topping 1000 pages in no time at all.  "Warp speed suckage, Ensign Danheiser!  Take the Mothership where others fear tread!"  commands Capt. Nooron.

[valdez]

And why does no one help him?

...'Sanity!

...egocentric, self aggrandizing...laughable...lost....

...something about not sleeping well...

     Just when Mitch Battros was getting started in detailing his woes (I feel sorry for the guy) George cuts him off, promises to get him in touch with one of his witch doctor friends, and adds, "anything we can do to help, just let us know."  Just don't let us know all that much, 'cause you only got 45 seconds.  I think Joshua P. Warren's "wishing box" video is great.  Theres something so pure and simple and brutally capitalistic about it.  Richard C., and even Battros, could learn something from him.  We want more than theories, and predictions, and fancy words; we want stuff, made of wood, with knobs, lots and lots of inexplicable knobs.  George reminded us again that he will be on the air for a "very looong time."  Oh ye gods of hubris' mighty fall, where art thou?  A caller suggested that George's sleeping problem may lie in an abundance of suppressed "sexual energy."  No comment from el hombre del amore'.  And at the end of the program, five minutes to the end to be exact, in the mist of some mumblings, George says, "...in a few moments we'll surprise you with our good friend, ufo phil."  Surprise us?  With ufo phil?  On a Friday night?  A surprise?  What is wrong with this man?

"'My name is George Noory, radio king of kings:
  Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
  Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
  Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
  The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Ah, yes.  I believe Noory may be first step on the path to Charlton's dismay.

Brought to you by the same people who brought you the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Joorch is from Detroit!! Hey wait a minute...

[VtaGeezer]

We got in late last night, so I listened to most of the final hour open lines, something I don't do much anymore.  Jeez, what a
depressing parade of losers using the insomnia topic as an excuse to tell their pathetic stories.  I dislike the expression "human debris", but in this case it truly fit.  The surprising thing was Noory's indifference, and at times veiled cruelty, to pathetic people with psychological  issues who should have been let down gently by the screener instead of being aired in Noory's Late Night Freak Show.

[Morgus]

And at the end of the program, five minutes to the end to be exact, in the mist of some mumblings, George says, "...in a few moments we'll surprise you with our good friend, ufo phil."  Surprise us?  With ufo phil?  On a Friday night?  A surprise?  What is wrong with this man? 

Yeah the surprise would be with NO UFO Phil song, like happens when Noory mercifully sometimes takes a Friday night off... 

[Morgus]

"... We finally really did it."

"you bastard (Noory) - you blew it up! damn you, damn you to hell"

"you cut out his brain, you damn dirty ape!"

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

A number of callers phoned in last night crediting their insomnia to months-long stretches in the military where they were frequently only able to get as little as two hours of sleep a night.  They would say things along the lines of 'George, you were in the Navy.  You know what it's like' or 'You can't get much sleep deployed on a ship.  You know what that's like' to which he would mumble agreement. 

To the best of my understanding George didn't go through basic training, instead being recruited by some sort of presidential program, and only served weekends at an office as a Naval Reserve.  I may not have the details exactly right, but still it's another case of George taking undue credit and being too timid or dishonest to set the record straight.

I can no longer listen to those open lines either.  Recently some woman called in who was inconsolable over the loss of a family member.  She was heartbroken and was trying to reach out, to anyone who'd listen.  Noory tossed her a few platitudes, then rushed her off the air.  And I'm thinking this poor grieving lady needs to be calling a real Help line, where she can speak privately to an actual professional, not broadcasting her grief nationwide to an indifferent oaf mumbling nonsense back at her.
