George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[aldousburbank]

Oh he's got opinions. Mostly about BellGabberz.
See The Santa Cruz Event tm video for some examples.

[Humilia Lepus Foramen]

That is true but it is very tough for new acts to get established and they get no promotion unless they fall into traditional dance/rap/country categories.  New Rock 'n' Roll gets no airplay in Atlanta unless they cross over into Top 40.

Rock started to lose its way sometime last decade when burgeoning hordes of hipsters made bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Silversun Pickups popular, thus ushering in an era of emo/indie/emasculated "rock" music that bears little resemblance to past eras of rock.  I know others will say the decline began long before this, and they might be right, but I'm too young to remember much before the late 90's/early 00's.  These days more often than not I prefer silence to all the noise, err I mean music, that seems to be so popular on the radio. 

[NoMoreNoory]

I am really getting sick of Noory not having an opinion on ANYTHING. I know, he`ll say it`s because he wants the guest`s perspective out there but it`s because he`s afraid as hell of losing any of his shrinking audience. Responses like "It`s possible", "praw-bab-ly" , and the always annoying " You could be right"  get more grating every time I hear them. And I only listen a couple of nights a week! George and his head full of pus needs to go back to calling himself the "Chickenhawk" (or whatever the hell it was) on small market radio.

I think so, too

[136 or 142]

perhaps the Vatican and Jesuits are actually controlling the Jade Helm business and they're going to make Catholics of us all by force before the mother ship arrives!

Oh for Heaven's sake. Can't you keep anything secret?

[136 or 142]

I think so, too

Absolutely.

[albrecht]

I enjoyed the two "evangelicals" blathering on about the Vatican, Jesuit astronomers, Apache lore, and Sedona anomalies.  Except for Noory's silly questions, it could have been one of Art Bell's shows from the late 90's; full of half-truth psuedo-science drivel. I can't wait to hear Quayle elaborate tonight; perhaps the Vatican and Jesuits are actually controlling the Jade Helm business and they're going to make Catholics of us all by force before the mother ship arrives!

You must have intercepted one of Obama's couriers on his way back to the Vatican.  By the way, didn't some wacko guest (maybe Qualye himself or was it RCH) who claimed there was some secret message sent via the Obamas to the Pope because they gave him a carrot and this related, somehow to prophecy and the Chinese space mission?

While I agree that Noory's cue card responses are annoying, it's not really his job to have an opinion. Like Art Bell, He lets the guest speak his mind, and it's up to the listener to form an opinion. But Noory goes about it all wrong. Instead of being impartial, he agrees with everything. That's whats annoying. And it doesn't work. Its a shame that he had an opportunity to learn from Art, and instead of carefully listening and learning, he took the wheel and drove the show into the first mailbox he saw.
That's just Noory being Noory I suppose..

Spot on. It is a very, very rare night when Norry will disagree with someone- and usually he will agree with two contradictory positions even in the same show!  Also, he tries to make it "all about him" way too often to be a good interviewer.
I have another theory about the source of the awful "split-show" format. With the commercials, his asides, and the split-show (meaning more introductions/recaps of the guests) it cuts down on time available of callers. I think Norry is running out of people actually calling the show.

You folks on the West Coast are lucky.  I start listening at night and just drift off.

Art would actually conversate. If he had a differing opinion from a guest he would gently state it and move on. George just holds up the white flag.

Usually, though another good thing about Art is sometimes with guests, more frequently with rude or accusative callers, he would get mean and dish it right back out. He would argue if a caller said something bad against him or rude. Or a guest clearly lied or was trying to bilk money out of people obviously. Norry might drop a guest, or screened caller, but do it is a wimpy way. ('Bad connection', 'oh we lost him', or cut to Lionel or Warren who must be on speed-dial.)

The main reason George keeps to the split format is LAZINESS. He probably gets plenty of relevant,good questions e-mailed,texted etc. to him from knowledgeable listeners on the subject discussed.He can coast (pun intended) on his ass whereas on a single subject show the listeners questions stop coming in so he`s left exposed for the uninformed idiot he is.

That was 22nd April 2014, Hoagland's return after 6 months off the air. He was blathering complete nonsense about the Chinese lunar rover and made the connection to Obama's gift of carrot seeds to the Pope. The Chinese lunar rover is nicknamed Jade Rabbit. "And what do rabbits eat?" asked Hoagland conspiratorially. Noory didn't even laugh.

I read that in Hoagland's voice. Made me laugh.

Ha, yes.   Hoagie has that weird, almost valley girl-like rising intonation as he attempts to make something mundane appear mysterious and/or conspiratorial.  What a character.

If you can't not like George, then who can't you not like?

[Beelzebubbelah]

Shows pretty interesting tonight. I've always been fascinated with the Anasazi Indians and the parallel universe theory.  I first read about it, in of all places, a couple of Louis L'amour Westerns when I was a kid.  I later wrote a short story for college, UGA, based on the legends.  Got an A+ on it.  The professor set me aside and told me I should write.  I didn't take her up on it though I played around with the idea for a little bit.  I'm too impatient to be a writer.  I wrote a couple of horror western stories. One of them was called The Wind.  Wind being a metaphor for the Grim Reaper aka Death.  It was very atmospheric. The wind blowing through the canyons and if you listened close enough you would hear the screams of the damned.

==================================================================
'Allo!
Still with you am i.
Thought the guest was pushing the idea that he'd somehow become trusted by the red folks(not commies)to be let in on the secrets of the ancient peoples there before the modern-ish era.
He got much of his factoids pretty comic-book-ish and wrong.
It seems that he'd never looked at the infamous mythified accounts that started with the journey through the"7 Cities Of Cibola"given by shipwrecked sailor named NN. 'Cabeza_de_Vaca".
OR the account in the newspaper in the early 20th.C.E.V.that recounted an drift boater whom said he'd found an lost city of giant warriors on the wall of the grand canyon...and it was being looted,err,studied,by reputable archaologists from the east coast.
Both these stories seem much better attested to than anything this guest had claimed to research via his informants among the tribes.
Suggests he's pushing some subtle agenda of another,or that he's incompetent,or both...

Has George started sucking yet?

Has George started sucking yet?

Yes.

DAVE Shaving in his 20's....

I think it would look better if he had the half-stache and half-beard on opposite sides.  Very stylish.  I guess he was going for the incognito look.  The cops see his left side, then he turns his head and they don't know where he went.

[21st Century Man]

Yes.

You think this sucks.  Wait until Tuesday when Lee Cigar joins Jorch as a guest. I kid you not.

[HorrorRetro]

The upcoming segment tonight is surviving abuse. How uplifting.  : How is this a C2C topic? Getting through an hour with Jorch is surviving abuse.

[Corona Kitty]

Interesting topic... Abuse.......






Waiting for the jokes.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Maybe that's how he's going to fire her.  George always knows how deliver that kind of news with compassion.

[Nick el Ass]

A split show on child abuse (George loves stories about dead babies,) and conspiracies with Steve "don't call me Dan" Quayle. This show is getting even more shitty by the second.

[bateman]

I miss Major Ed Damien.

[trostol]

gotta wonder, though i know the answer, if anyone of this..group in the studio looks at the topics and combos they have together and goes WTF are we thinking

Thanks! I recall that now.  Even Norry was perplexed with RCH but that association was more bizarre than most! I'm not listening tonight but wonder if "Jade Rabbit" will be tied (maybe by a multiplier of 19.5) to "Jade Helm?" And, I have to admit though , why would one a head of State give carrot seeds to the Pope (or anyone except a neighbor, farmer, or someone who asked give same? Sort of weird, I know I'd bitch and say at least bring a bottle of decent wine for dinner if you visit.)

I'm wondering if Jorch is going to make a comment about the abuse he gets on the internet.  It all comes back to him.
