George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[PB the Deplorable]

George says in the morning when he wakes up, he messages Dan with the bumper music he wants for that day's show...

Good ol' George.  He used to defensively insist someone else chose the bumper music.

Maybe if a caller likes it, he picked it, and if a caller doesn't like it, someone else chooses it?

[PB the Deplorable]

It always seems funny to me that I can talk for hours on Skype with fewer issues than Noory has every freaking show.

You don't have Lex as your IT guy

[Morgus]

Very interesting how when one of Noory's frequent fav guests like tonight have real phone line problems he manages to keep going with them for the full 3 hours.
But other unlucky guests get dumped after less than an hour with less or no real phone problems?

[Major Ed Damien]

George just described the imminent arrival of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve as "truly unbelievable."

Hey, Noory!

I know you read this message board.

Check this out:

We could stick your brain in a fucking gnat's fanny, and it would still rattle. 

And the gnat would probably fly backwards.

I mean it.

George is a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a doofus.

I don't know, I tried saying I'm a "Watcher" and that didn't work out.

Haha we've got this magazine called LA Weekly that's full of that kind of stuff down here.

Way up in a clown's rectum.

[Major Ed Damien]

Did the first moronic Bible-expert truck driver just say that Australia was mentioned in the Old Testament?

[Major Ed Damien]

I have been laughing at this show for years but still can't tell you what the Nephalim are.

And don't even start with the Annunaki.

[Major Ed Damien]

Time to ask, "What's your passion, L.A.?"

[m]

eventually he said it was because he is taking friday off and wouldn't want us to miss open lines
  true story
even though i see they are still scheduled with Syrett so obvious bullshit

there is a lot of hate here which I don't support. I do support making G aware that he needs to do research. that he dumps intelligent guests because HE can't ask an informed question is ridiculous. I'll never forget how he dumped Amit Goswami and blamed it on the phone - I was truly horrified.

[nooryisawesome]

George is really obsessed with the audio quality of his guest's phones -- even if there isn't that much of a problem with it.

I disagree my friend. Noory just uses it as an excuse to dump people. Ever notice during open lines a connection will be so bad you can not even hear it and he doesn't even notice.

[Major Ed Damien]

If George Noory is going to be considered a radio talk show host, then I'm just going to have to be considered a "hater."

Sorry.

He's a person of sub-average intelligence with zero curiosity about the world around him.

And, George, that doesn't mean you served on a sub.

[WallyBert]

I wonder if claiming I am a nephilim will help me meet women.

Only if you can show six fingers.

that's fine - I just wanted to take up for me that's all...

I keep thinking he can improve - I mean didn't Art choose him???

[Major Ed Damien]

The funny thing is, I can imagine Shi'ites in Iran having goofy conversations like tonight's offering.

[Major Ed Damien]

Time for another Shi'ite Baptist trucker to call in with some Revelations rube-speak.

[m]

y'all are funny

[Major Ed Damien]

I've got a lesbian friend who could get real interested in these six-figured creatures they're talking about tonight.

[136 or 142]

Clear Channel did. Art had nothing to do with George being hired.  Apparently though, Art approved based on George having hosted a paranormal radio show in St. Louis.

[m]

wow. what's he saying now...

[Major Ed Damien]

Tonight's guest was "right up there with Steven Quayle.  Pretty dramatic," said George.

I wonder if George even knows what "dramatic" means.

It's just another example of his weird relationship with the English language.

More like "right out there."

some (like G and Co.) call it hate
we call it the truth

[Major Ed Damien]

You just know some of those six-fingered creatures had to have seven due to a mistake made by nature.

[PB the Deplorable]

True.  George doesn't give a shit about anything else, why would he care about some phone issue no one else can even hear.

All it's ever been is an excuse to dump a guest

[m]

funny!

YA - I guess not hate...I'm just glad I can talk about this stuff.

[Major Ed Damien]

I think I figured out George's odd language problem.

He was raised in a family where English was a second language.  They were from Egypt (or Lebanon), I believe.

Later in life, not reading enough books in English -- due to his intellectually incurious habits -- made him speak somewhat like his immigrant relatives.  Much better, of course, but still not exactly the way we'd speak it.  Odd constructions will eventually become apparent to a native English speaker.

For example, George will describe things as "dramatic" when nobody you know would use that word for what they were trying to say.  He will use the word "also" and then add "as well" at the end -- even though it's redundant.

See, a guy like Henry Kissinger -- born and raised in Germany -- can speak sparkling English, although with a thick accent, because his deep, deep reading in English corrected any usage problems.

George, though, is still sounding somewhat like the old country because he never really liked to read.

It's a theory.

[Major Ed Damien]

P.S.

This also explains George's zero-familiarity and disinterest with the books written by nearly all of his guests, except for the most cursory of examinations into them made grudgingly by him or his largely ignorant staff.

He once mentioned giving away guest-written books that had accumulated in his studio.  "We gave away piles of 'em," he said, as if he were talking about firewood or canned goods he'd never dream of eating.  No serious book-lover would simply give away all the treasure like that, let alone treat it like a nuisance.

I'll bet if you were in George's house, you'd be astonished at how few books you'd find.  The ones you might see would be coffee-table volumes used primarily for decoration and, of course, a Bible somewhere out of moral necessity.  He recently referred to the Bible as his "favorite" book, which is often a non-reader's favorite unread book.
