George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[zeebo]

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

If they're gonna keep letting that fool on, they need to give him like a 10-second time limit to get his question off, forcing him to skip his usual cringe-inducing multi-paragraph preamble of irrelevant citations and background context.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I propose we all write in and ask for Bill the atheist and amateur astronomer to be the first hour guest.  It would be way cool.

yeah 'ole Bill the AAA always has a long complicated multi-part question for guests...

[ItsOver]

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

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

[b_dubb]

if an ape had truly cut out noory's brain that would explain a lot.  actually i think noory may have cut out his own brain.  or part of it

[bmcintyre]

Oh God, I think the callousness is the best part, especially since George constantly reminds us about how he is always live on the holidays for those of us who are alone.  Wasn't he supposed to be giving out money from the sale of his books?  And, how about his friend "Theresa," who wanted to spend more time with her kids so she started working at home from her computer...What about his dear aunt schizophrenia, who was involved with the paranormal and died in the bathtub from electrocution by radio?   I hate it when John Wells calls me his brother and tells me how to make a proper cup of tea.  Fuck off. And, maybe the guy from Conn., is crazy but he is loyal no matter how much George non-dogs him. The numbers lady is of no substance and now the Nostradamus guy has become a prognosticator.  I do like Gerald from Trends but I get tired of George naysaying our Government and the world in general.   Enough...I have vented...thanks..betti

[bmcintyre]

George Noory--so Christ-like!

[ItsOver]

...I hate it when John Wells calls me his brother and tells me how to make a proper cup of tea. 

Wells lost me with this kind of behavior and his inability to structure a proper sentence.  He sounds like a '70s hippie lost in Haight-Ashbury.  Wells, your "Mother Ship" references are juvenile and if Noory is your captain, you'd better know where the lifeboats are located.

[Scully]

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

Art, the dumbass ate your baby!!!! 

Bwahahahahahaha ... 

My own version would be "Art, the dingbat ate your baby!!!!"

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

I do not think that I have seen the comparison between an intellectually bankrupt Jorch and a financially bankrupt Detroit yet.  Somehow it is fitting that Detroit is staring at bankruptcy while Captain Geo. Snoory has signed a new long term contract to keep him broadcasting his mindless drivel for years to come.

[Morgus]

I noticed at the c2cam website the schedule for next Friday has John B. Wells as guest host.
Noory is taking off another Friday this week...

[bmcintyre]

Ah Detroit!!  George rocketed out of Detroit and St. Louis as fast as his little hare lip could take him.  Now, he's hitting the new age circuit, making "dear" friends with the rich and famous, and doing time as a "Walker."  Me thinks he does not handle his finances well.   

This is what I liked about Art.  We used to listen to him in Alaska, way up North in Fairbanks, where it was so dark and cold that champagne froze in mid-pop.   We would listen to Art coming in from the high desert in Pahrump NV late at night, with that sexy "creature of the night" song.  We were all creatures of the night with this one lone guy and his little show about the paranormal.  We actually ran our bedtime around him for years. 

And, then smarmy and patronizing George came and pooped all over it. 

George Knapp is the only one left that sounds like he's had a few cigarettes and an interesting story to tell. 

That is all I ever wanted at night.  That's why I cant criticize Bill from Conn.  He needs good radio too.  Bitte Bette

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

George goes after the haters

Nevermind the Palin bit.  I thought of this episode and thought of George.  This was the only clip I could find.

[bmcintyre]

We love Halcro!!  Please save Alaska!!!!

[bmcintyre]

Sometimes I think that when a guest goes off on a long diatribe, George goes off to sit on the toilet or as I would like to think to "open the portal." His comments afterwards do not make any sense

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.

Having spent a few years in the "Nav" myself, I've always wondered exactly what George did.  He never gets specific, so it's kind of unknown -- although we do know that if he did anything of significance, he'd certainly find a way to bring it into the conversation, right?

Friday's "insomnia" show, I believe,  had a caller who was discussing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and this caller seemed to know something about George's naval service background, stating that "you oughta know something about this George, after all you were a PIO....."

Well yeah, sure, that makes sense.  A "PIO," is short for "Public Information Officer," and is about the lowest officer of importance on any base.  Having been in communications, the PIO's that I knew were always bitching that they were kept out of the loop on the important classified stuff ("We have a need to know everything that goes on around here!"), while being relegated to writing cool articles about the CO or XO at some ribbon-cutting ceremony opening up a new parking lot on the base.

Or keeping that officer who was busted doing something bad in public while intoxicated out of the news....the real sensitive stuff, you understand...

Essentially, the PIO functions as the propaganda officer to make sure the public that lives around the area of the base in question has only good feelings about the base and what it does.  The PIO is the last guy the CO would want to let in on anything really important...

George, with his phony-genial personality and local TV news background was the perfect guy for this job.

You gotta ask yourself, too, why a guy with George's obvious ambition got out of the Navy after 9 years.  I mean, what the hell, only 11 more to 20 and the nice pension, right?  He probably saw himself on the bridge of a carrier or Fast Frigate or something, with silver oak leaves or even eagles on his collar pins.  Nope.  The most likely reason is that he was passed over for promotion several times and after that, they usually ask you to resign. 

[Rico999]

What's up with the panic attacks, George?  Do tell, please!

What a bum.  He tried to pretend that it wasn't him that had them -- telling us (to cover his ass) that he has this good buddy who's a ring announcer who has 'em --  and one of them right in the middle of an announcement for crying out loud!

Now what kind of a "friend" does that, anyway?  Pretty much announces to the whole world that his good buddy -- the ring announcer -- gets panic attacks.  I mean,  if George is on the level about this -- and I'm not sayin' that he is at all -- it probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out who this "buddy" is -- How many ring announcers are there anyway? 

What the hell is THAT??  The guy's probably thinking, damn, what if all these people I know hear about this??  How is this going to affect my future employment as a ring announcer??

In the event the story was true, it was a stupid, rotten thing to do. 

What a creep.

....[George] Pretty much announces to the whole world that his good buddy -- the ring announcer -- gets panic attacks.... 
....it probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out who this "buddy" is.... 

I'm starting to see why George didn't get promoted.

[Meanandnasty]

He did not get promoted this time either.  He is just keeping the ship afloat, like a sandbag tied to your personal boat that you throw  over the side to keep it from drifting while you fish for crappy, uhhhh I mean croppy.

The PIOs were essentially in charge of seeing visiting brass and VIPs got drunk and/or laid to their content...and very discreetly.* The PIOs were PR men, tour guides and pimps.

And I particularly agree that Noory leaving at 9 years in makes absolutely no sense whatsoever other than being passed over as "unpromotable", and thus in essence dismissed. Whether Noory or "Major Ed Dames", nobody quits willingly as a Lt. jg or a major, respectively, unless going immediately to some super sweet deal like an airline pilot's job or marrying the daughter of a Fortune 500 CEO. And as I recall, George kicked around looking for a radio job when he "retired" in his 30's. Or was that when he became a bankrupt restauranteur?   





*In today's Puritan military it sounds as if those are now career-ending offenses, viz. the court-martial of the one-star with the 82nd Airborne for "sodomy and adultery" with a female captain - under his command, of course. It seems particularly unfair since when the law was written way back there that "sodomy" had entirely different connotations. But nooooo, let's not blame the deluge of "adultery" courts on career military officers or the avalanche of cruise-pregnancies occurring on combat ships of the Navy on the policy of women in the military, or ye gods and little fishes, women in combat jobs (another one of those "It's a lie that conservatives are pushing, because we never never never will want combat jobs, no siree Bob!). Yep, only sexists who want to keep women from having fulfilling gender-neutral careers and wonderful self-actualized lives could possibly be opposed to having women not just in the military but in actual combat commands. Yes, only secretly sex-obsessed and hate-filled conservatives would think that just because you separate men and women from their spouses and SOs for as much as 6 months, and then make them work and live with members of the opposite sex in confined conditions closer than a prison, and put them in life-threatening situations in which their lives literally depend on each other, could possibly think sexual relationships might develop which were harmful to the good order and discipline of the military. Everyone knows sex can be ordered to be controlled, right? Because there's no other possible reason to keep women out of the military, is there? Right?....Hello?

Another guest unceremoniously dumped.

[NoMoreNoory]

Welcome back, Joorchie! So good to hear that authoritative voice telling us everything that's going on out there!
Wow!
'Sickos' have planted an explosive device at a 'religion sanctuary' in Brazil. What is that exactly? A place where sick and badly treated religions go to die?
America has the highest 'divortse' rate in the world.
An asteroid the size of a 'football feel' has passed the earth
And what was that thing that has just given birth to a baby in Britain? Multiple rewindings have failed to clarify. It may have been the 'Jujjesh' of Cambridge, but it's hard to tell.
Good to have the early morning belly laughs back, Joorch, Greatest Ever Broadcaster. Thank God you'll be with us for the rest of time.
You don't suck at all, Joorch. Not. At. All.

He wanted to display the talent they mentioned in the contract extension press release

yeah that might be a first time that Noory has dumped a first hour guest.
he couldn't handle just another 20min segment with him so he had to go to crazy open lines callers instead? 

[Roy Hinkley]

So Guy's aura "contraption" is from 1970 and still uses Polaroid or Fuji film - LOL!

[NoMoreNoory]

Joorch discusses the End Times with Moses! And clearly we are, because since Joorch has been back in LA, he's seen four wrecks and three people 'honking at each other'. Carmageddon, folks! Or maybe just the consequence of having Joorch behind the wheel on the freeways again.

I can see that.  George is probably one of those people who's ineptness causes wrecks and chaos all around him, and the few things he actually notices leave him muttering 'idiots.'

Thanks for confirming this one, I was sure that's what I heard but couldn't believe that Lord Noory with his new infinity-year contract could ever say something so dumb and not correct himself.  It's like he's got two left feet, and they're both in his mouth.

[NoMoreNoory]

What a pile of steaming horse turds this disappearing people thing is! Guest's an idiot and Noory is flanneling like crazy. Compare and contrast the brilliant Missing: 411 programmes Knapp did with Dave Paulides.
By the way, have you noticed an awful lot of people are failing to pick avatars lately? Sometheen weeerd is happaneen.
