George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[MV/Liberace!]

I doubt very much if Noory lays anything (or anyone) regularly or otherwise, unless the chicks get a look at him in the wife-beater in the P90X ad.

well, i mean... come on... it's a wife beater.  who wouldn't go for that?

There is no question, Snoors has the intelligence of a parakeet.  Oddly though, I was listening to a so-called "classic" show from 2005, and as much as I hate to admit it, it was a different Snoory.  He sounded kinda like a regular guy, didn't bumble around so much, didn't mispronounce every other word, even bordering on average intelligence.  What does it all mean??...

George has always been dumb and lazy.  And, oh yeah, boring. 

Of course when he was just a guest host he did his best, anyone would.  Later, after Art retired - again - and George was named the main host, he was quite concerned about Art Bell coming back.  George worried that Art might want to return and he'd either have to fight to keep the job, or at least have been good enough to still host weekends and fill in.  George figured if he was good enough, perhaps Art wouldn't come back at all.

Moving to LA and taking his kiss-up act to corporate HQ - something Art wouldn't do - was part of the plan to hold on to his job as well.  (And, well, if he became a TV or movie star out in LA, so much the better)

George knew enough back then to do at least some show prep, to appear at least a little interested, to pay some attention and listen to the guests.  Most of Art's guests would still come on with him.  He made a big deal about claiming to be interested in all this stuff since he was a small child.  As time went by, it became more and more clear Art was not coming back full time, George felt more and more comfortable putting in less and less effort... 

And it all worked.  There he sits every night, the worst host to ever foul the radio waves.

Hey Paper*Boy! Your new avatar threw me off. I keep looking for caveman George Noory. Anyway, what was the name of Noory's failed TV show on Discovery Channel? That was a hoot.

Noory's pilot show a few years back was on the SciFi Channel - kinda fitting.
I seem to recall they made only five 1/2 hour episodes and aired them all in one week, that was all.
Each had one guest with Noory and a studio audience. Appeared to be editted heavily, lots of stuff cut out according to George.
I think Noory also did a pay-per-view special around new year's one year, with psychics and remote viewers including Ed Dames.

and, if i recall correctly, not ONE of their predictions came true.

wow... approaching 300 pages of SUCK.

I suspect that George is so concerned with making his voice sound how he thinks someone on the radio should sound that he loses the ability to think and even pronounce words correctly. ironic moronic

And yes that movie Primer kicks ass.  A very intelligent movie, very enjoyable.

I have to agree, when Noory started I don't think he was as overtly dumb as he is now. I actually thought he was a good alternative to Bell b/c I was getting a little tired of him at times. I think it was mostly because of his undying support for the Iraq War and any idiotic conspiracy theory that somebody would pitch about the war, even though I was watching Fox News constantly at the time. I don't think Noory would be any different in the same position now though. Even though Bell was a massive hypocrite he was a great broadcaster, and far more intelligent than this idiot.

I had to go change my shirt and mop up the keyboard after noodlebrain slurped his way over San Fransiscos "Embarkadero". (ph)
I learned two things. If you are going to drink coffee while listening to george, wear a raincoat. Number two...always count on georgie to slaughter at least one word per show. Ah me...what a world.

Oh, THIS!  Although I don't laugh because I'm just SO annoyed when he mispronounces California place names.  Seriously, the guy lives part of the time in California, albeit Southern California, still . . .

Instead of Embarcadero, he said something like "Embarcadio"  and as a person who grew up in the SF Bay area, it irritates me no end.  How come everyone else on the planet can pronounce the word correctly but the Big Snore?

Aaaaaarrrggghhhh!

Remember when George used to talk about the TV deals in the works, details to come later, so many different ones.  They were probably victims of the recession.

Yes, "The Fonz" was supposed to be the producer on a series about real life stories from the callers of C2C.

So......I'm guessing every episode will look like something out of "Hoarders", or the scenes from "That 70's Show" where they all smoke weed.

     George crams four guest into the show: Patrick Lacy and R. Gary Patterson to talk about Elvis, Walter Cruttenden on the possibility that we are part of a binary star system, and the very boring Joseph Selbie on something called the "yugas".  Normally Patterson can save a show, but not tonight.  Folks here have suggested that instead of reading the guest's books, he glances through the chapter headings.  Tonight George didn't even open the books.  With two of his guest he asked questions on the book covers. "What do the pictures mean?"  "What are those words on the cover?"  Really, George?  Is this what we've come to? 

[HorrorReporter]

Last night while reading an ad for the C Crane company, he mocked their website and promised that Coast listeners can 'take it down.' he sounded almost hostile while he made the comments... Could it be that he even dislikes advertisers associated with years of Art Bell?

Booking multiple guests is another sign of his laziness.  No need for a sustained interview and intelligent questioning.

really?  this was a show idea?  yawn.

Rock and roll segments are best left to Ian. 

Noory was born in 1950, meaning that he was in his teens and early 20's during the classic rock era of the late-60's and 70's.  Somehow, I think he was never part of that era.  Maybe he was a social outcast.  I always say that if it weren't for the Vietnam war, it was a great time to be young.  No, I'm not talking about the drugs.

Getting back to Noory's lack of appreciation and basic knowledge of rock n roll, I recall that Noory once played this particular song, and related that when the song first came out, I think in the late 70's, he immediately had to go out and buy it.  What was the song he loved?  "For your eyes only" by Sheena Easton.
What about the Doors, Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, Stones, etc. etc.

sure seems that way.
his taste in music appears to be pre-rock&roll, like Frank Sinatra... 

[fysisist]

No time for a proper hello because I must relate what I heard a few moments ago.  Noory asked his guest, who is a physics professor, if moving from one time zone to another is the same as time travel.  Yes, time travel!  I'm dumbfounded that a grown man, the main host of a national talk radio show that commonly deals with science matters and the like, would waste time asking such a lame and juvenile question.  And Noory claims that he loves science?  What a "HUGE" load of poop that is.  He's anti-science and proud of it.

BTW, his exact quote (I was paraphrasing) would probably fit into the long list of unbelievable 'Nooryisms.'  I expect to add many more as time marches on.

He asked Dr Mallet something like, "if I'm here in St Louis, which is 2 hrs ahead of LA, is that time travel?"  I would have suggested to him that if it is, everybody west of the eastern time zone would be rich because they could accurately predict the stock market.  But I think it just shows how very limited GSnore's view of the world really is.  Not to mention that he is a complete numbnuts.

He said when The Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan, he was disturbed by their long hair. I'm serious.

Georgie Noory was the guy in school who wore boring collared shirts, pocket protectors, walked with his head down while having his books knocked out of his hands.

Classic effects of a sheltered childhood and  the accompanying "nerdism" have no doubt carried into his adult life.     

[fabucat]

True enough!  I had a parakeet many years ago and he was not anybody's fool.  One of his favorite pass times was to swoop in and perch on the edge of your glass of beer and help himself to a little.  Pretty impressive.  And "he" actually turned out to be a "she" when she laid an egg.  I'd like to see Snoors pull any of that off.

I've got a great parakeet story:)  About 100 years ago, when my grandfather first came to the US, he stayed with his older cousins, who were cheap shits.  One thing that his cousins monitored closely was the amount of food my grandfather consumed, which was torture for a strapping 19 year old man.  My grandfather's cousins had a parakeet who would always say, when my grandfather would sneak food out of the icebox, "Stephen!  Don't take that food!"  The parakeet would narc on my grandfather to his cousins about the food theft.  For this reason, I think that a parakeet definitely is smarter than Noory.

I'm pretty hard on George, usually, but give him a break here.  I remember when the Beatles broke and their long hair WAS a scandal to most of middle America.  It's hard to believe these days when old farts have shoulder length hair.  Also, George is the son of immigrant parents, and he grew up in the Midwest, so long hair REALLY must have been a big deal to him.  New age freaks appear with regularity on C2C, so I guarantee that George isn't spooked by long hair these days. 

I know that most of you are diehard conservatives on here.  Perhaps you should ask Rush and Mark Levin what they thought of the Beatles!  To give him credit, I've got a feeling that Hannity is a big Beatles fan, however.

[fabucat]

I know what you mean.  My oldest brother was born in 1950 and me after a few more siblings born in 1960.  I can relate to Ian but somehow Noory is more lawrence welk than wolfman jack.  Perhaps his lebanese parents were very strict and stunted him socially.  Ian clearly knows music from even before his time until the present.  Snoory clearly spent a lot of time alone in his room, but not listening to rock and roll.  Maybe torturing the cat or pulling wings off of flies.

Yep, George is a dog person, lol.  (I've got both, BTW)

No kidding?  I think I'm about a block and half to the right of Scully and about five and a quarter towns to the left of you and the General.  I've agreed and disagreed with all y'all.  But I feel mostly outnumbered myself.
Guess it really is in the eye of the beholder.  Variety, spice, and all that.

I turned out to be a fiscal conservative.  I loved the Beatles when they first came out and I come from the Midwest.  Stereotypes about conservatives are usually false.  I thought the Beatles were cute, especially liked John.  Later I was into Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell.  What kind of music do you think conservatives liked?  Don't you know that rock stars are capitalists par excellence?  Mick Jagger spent one year at the London School of Economics and is a very good businessman.

It does show how our observations are tempered with our biases. It is kind of like recording hits and misses in data collection. For some reason the way we are wired makes us more prone to remember our negative experiences as opposed to our positive ones. I guess biologically it makes sense. A negative experience will kill you not so much the other.

As to your point on being a conservative, I think, just as you had mentioned in another post many of us were probably conservative in some of our daily practices. I would wager you have some liberal leanings yourself.

Perhaps I am wrong here. But the whole aspect of wide open conversation in this forum is certainly more of a liberal leaning than conservative. The fact you give access to all and freely also speaks to a liberal bent.

[MV/Liberace!]

I would wager you have some liberal leanings yourself.

and that would be a sound wager.

[TaoOfLuxLisbon]

If you think you're a conservative because you're still bent out of shape about the Beatles hair, you probably belong in a coffin.
