George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[michio]

I think we should make a collected effort to email the quality guests after each show and apologize for Jorch's typically terrible interview. The replies should be pretty entertaining.

I did that for Bill Nye when he had to endure the blatant stupidity of the Nooron (Aug. 29, 2012).  I didn't email him but left a comment on his website as an apology for humankind.

[Scully]

... George (hypothetical conversation): "Doctor, who do you believe God really is?"

hypothetical guest:  "In fact George, we've just found conclusive evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the universe is a computer game and God is a 13 year old boy named Dwain.  Let me explain...

George (oblivioius):  "Well that's exactly right.  First time caller you're on the air..."

Are you SURE this is a hypothetical situation?? You've described Simple George's interviewing *style* to a T! 

[valdez]

...we've already had a reference to the Jetsons

Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell is a highly fascinating guest!

Interesting guest...

GN just said he felt the brain wasn't necessary.

I think we should make a collected effort to email the quality guests after each show and apologize for Jorch's typically terrible interview...

     I like Glynis McCants, but if you've heard one "numbers lady show," you've heard them all. Dr. Dianne Hennacy Powell was ready to take the ESP conversation to the next level, alas she was foiled by el Snooro who will have none of that.  When Powell and a caller were having a damn good discussion about how the development of language had adversely affected natural human intuition George blurted out, "you know, they're starting to put chips in people's brains." And the "Jetsons" comment was his attempt to steer the subject away from Star Trek because, I believe, George doesn't know Star Trek.  Sending an email to decent guest expressing  thanks and apologies is a good idea.  In a tease for tomorrow's show George said of Micheal Cremo - "he believes the human race existed for hundreds of millions of years...and he backs it up with some incredible stories..." Eh, stories are nice, but don't we back things up with facts?  Sometimes? 

[stevesh]

Eh, stories are nice, but don't we back things up with facts?

Currently, in the world of C2c, stories are facts. The dipshit with the moronic tale about taping his druggie neighbor's antics and making hundreds of millions of dollars sellling the tapes has gotten on the air four times.

[Juan]

A caller to the Numbers Lady was spelling his name - Y-I - etc.
Glynis - "In this name, the "i" is the first vowel.  When a "Y" comes before a vowel, the second letter is the vowel."
George - "And sometimes Y"
Glynis - "Yes."
George - "You're taking me back to English class.  Ha, ha, ha.  I'm not sure I passed, though."

George Noory sucks.

[ItsOver]

I think noorys set is cheesier than Mervs. Kind of has a public access TV flavor, eh?

I think we can rest assured Noory's set sets the bar for cheesiness.  I'm sure not even Kramer would be interested in it.

[Falkie2013]

Snoory's so cheesy that Kraft is thinking of suing for defamation.

[ItsOver]

GN just said he felt the brain wasn't necessary.

Of course.  Only Jorch would believe this might not present a problem.

[ItsOver]

Snoory's so cheesy that Kraft is thinking of suing for defamation.

Welcome to the Noory residence.

[ufogadfly]

And why wouldnt he? He's been operating...nah. Its too easy. I wont waste your time by stating the obvious.

Yeah, I think we all had to stop ourselves from commenting on that one.

[ufogadfly]

     ...In a tease for tomorrow's show George said of Micheal Cremo - "he believes the human race existed for hundreds of millions of years...and he backs it up with some incredible stories..." Eh, stories are nice, but don't we back things up with facts?  Sometimes?

Lets chalk that one up to disGeorge, especially his overuse of the adjective, "incredible." I've read Cremo's book, interviewed him and heard him several times. He presents many facts that are difficult if not impossible to explain.

[PortlandDangler]

Just trying to keep some perspective.

Good call. It's easy for us to say things here we would never say face-to-face. George Noory is just one man and we are all free to make and have our own opinions. I don't wish harm on him. It's a fucking radio show that "used" to be good. Nothing more nothing less. Well maybe less.  The interesting issue: The Network...allowing him to remain host after countless flub-up's and IMHO "bad, boring radio."

Yet...he is still host. Scoreboard: Noory 10 years - Unhappy listeners 0.

In the words of Eleanor Rosevelt "meh"

George Noory sucks.

She asked him too think of a name with Y as the first vowel and he said Loyd. Kept insisting Loyd actually, before she blatantly had to tell him, George O is a vowel so Y isn't the the first vowel. This came before what you described UFO, not sure if you heard it or not.
George Noory's show shouldn't be called Beyond Belief, it should be called Beyond Fucking Stupid!

IF you're not a shill for Snoory, or Snoory or Tommy then you're both clueless and hopeless, just like the caller who called in last night and said :

" I don't KNOW if I'm hooked but after listening to you for 8 months, that's what I am. " 

Put a hook in his mouth and drag him off.

As for not saying it to Snoory's face, if I get an opportunity to do so at an event I will have absolutely NO compunction in doing so and will.

I'm waiting to see the further guest list at either Conspiracy Con or the local UFO Conference. If Snoory shows up at both and either allows q & a sessions, I am going to confront him AND see if some local paper or news outlet would want to do a story on how MANY disaffected and unhappy listeners there really are out there. I'm certain it might interest them.

One thing for certain. If he continues to lose stations, eventually HE will be gone.

In radio, it's about 2 things. Ratings and ad revenue.

That's why the mega owners are getting rid of local talent who've been around for years and going to syndicated shows like Hannity, Rush and the like. It's cheaper for them and they don't care about content.

That's why the new owner of the 2 former ABC stations in the Bay Area have gutted both KSFO and KGO in recent months.

Though some of the talk show hosts have come back most of them haven't. And KGO trying to go all news again doesn't have a chance against KCBS. Jim Dunbar, the morning news powerhouse is long gone and there's no one comparable to take his place.

[Falkie2013]

Lets chalk that one up to disGeorge, especially his overuse of the adjective, "incredible." I've read Cremo's book, interviewed him and heard him several times. He presents many facts that are difficult if not impossible to explain.

I'm not certain what word to use in place of " incredible " but to Snoorge everything is " incredible " while he is either skeptical or doesn't care to confront guests who are obviously full of it.

Of course, when one is full of it all ready one has no basis for comparison to tell if someone else's assertions and claims are bullshit either.

There are 2 definitions for incredible in my American College Dictionary.

One is :

So implausible as to elicit disbelief.

and

Astonishing, which is defined as :

Great surprise or amazement, a marvel.

Snoory uses little of the first definition and thinks almost everything is a marvel.

By the way, I just saw a great word which may describe Snoory.

Marplot - A stupid, officious meddler whose interference compromises an undertaking. ( after a character in a play by Susannah Centlivre ).

Somehow its another descriptive noun that fits Snoory to a T.

Collect them all.

Remember when Gomer Pyle used to use Shazam when he was amazed at something.

Snoory is the Gomer Pyle of radio.

Or maybe closer to Goober.


Jim Nabors - Shazam! - 1965

It was a mark of his talent that Nabors could play a buffoon one moment and sing incredibly the next.

Unlike Snoory, Nabors had comedic and singing talent and could easily switch from one to another effortlessly.

The above is an example of his comedic singing voice.

When he's doing serious singing he's damned near perfect.

Last time I listened to the show was two plus years ago. I'm doing my part. Shill...haha. Are you serious? So having a civil discourse makes me clueless, and or a shill? Guess that makes you a fool. I agree Noory needs to be ousted but it ain't going to happen anytime soon. When you call him out to his face, please post the video for all of us would you please? Thanks.

[NoMoreNoory]

Even by his own standards, he was beyond embarrassing last night. Quite what he thinks is going on with autistic savants is beyond me, but those famed 8 hours of prep clearly did not involve any research on the subject. Apart from the 'the brain is not a necessity' nonsense noted above, he was repeatedly making utterly brainless questions. In addition to telepathy, he asked if they could 'move things with their minds' or whether they could do remote gruviewing. Each dumbass enquiry was greeted with a pained pause and a 'Noooo.' He also asked 'Do savants bang their heads to become one?'
When a caller asked about Stephen Wiltshire, the conversation moved on between guest and caller before George, fresh from Google, offered 'They call him the human camera, don't they?' before later offering the profound insight that 'It's like he has a photograph in his mind. I guess that's why they call him the human camera.'
He banged on and on about a savant in France who's created an imaginary city, which SNoory seemed to find utterly incredible, as though Tolkien, CS Lewis et al counted for nothing.
Throw in 'Science is always resistant to everything', and it was one of those shows that made you want to reach into the airwaves and rip his idiot head clean off his shoulders and shove it up his ass.
Dianne should certainly be the recipient of a collective Coastgab apology.

I will if someone will loan me a video camera or an Ipad/Iphone.  And I may have quoted from the wrong person, for which I apologize if I did.


However, to act as if Noory can do no wrong on the air or in his public pronouncements, speeches, interviews or writings is being a fool.


The man is an incompetent and has a proven track record for being an incompetent, a fool and a buffoon.


If someone can't see that despite all the evidence, then to me they're in a similar category as the late UFO skeptics Phil Klass and Donald Menzel.


The evidence was there and they were either too blind to see it or were deliberatly engaging in a campaign of disinformation.


But in Noory's case, there can be NO defense for him unless he's a master at playing the fool for 10 years and somehow I really doubt that.

[ItsOver]

... He also asked 'Do savants bang their heads to become one?'....

No, Jorch, but they'll bang their heads if they're forced to listen to you.  :

[ItsOver]

I wonder if there are some PremRat interns who are doing the cue cards for Jorch and they've got a contest going to determine the dumbest question Jorch will read on the air.  They must be pretty dumbfounded by now.

[WOTR]

Eh, stories are nice, but don't we back things up with facts?  Sometimes?

I have noticed words like facts and proof being tossed around a lot lately.  It seems that nobody ever questions them once they are proclaimed as facts.  The fact that we, as humans have a desire to posses gold is proof that we were genetically engineered by the annunaki- who presently rule the Illuminati throught their representative president Obama- to be their slave miners.  Georges response to such an outrageous claim is 'exactly- no doubt about it Mr. guest.'

I think we should make a collected effort to email the quality guests after each show and apologize for Jorch's typically terrible interview. The replies should be pretty entertaining.

I really like this idea.

George Noory redefines sucking

I've never thought George was actually stupid.  No matter how hard he tried to appear so.  Lazy, yes.  Dumb, yes.  Ignorant of so many things, yes.  Unable to think in his feet, of course. 

These kind of questions and comments - either whatever brain disease he has is getting worse, or he hates his job so much he can hardly bear it.   Either way, when he is ultimately fired it's going to be such a releif for him.  He'd quit now, but this is the most moeny he's ever going to make, and the closest to fame he'll ever be.  No one is even going to consider him for gigs like commentary on Ancient Aliens or a 'TV show' like Beyond Fucking Belief unless he is the current host of C2C, and he knows it.  There are not going to be any other jobs in radio or TV for him after this.

Attitude is everything George.  Take a few weeks off, come back and start putting some effort and thought into the shopw, start trying to find something of interest in every guest, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and who knows, it could become at least tolerable again.

[PB the Deplorable]

I think we should make a collected effort to email the quality guests after each show and apologize for Jorch's typically terrible interview. The replies should be pretty entertaining.

We could do a before and after - let them know ahead of time what to expect, then commiserate with them after.  Telling potential guests the truth, let them know it wasn't just an off night.  George himself has already done much to drain his pool of guests.

[ChewMouse]

let them know ahead of time what to expect

Now that is a wickedly good idea.

[popple]

A caller to the Numbers Lady was spelling his name - Y-I - etc.
Glynis - "In this name, the "i" is the first vowel.  When a "Y" comes before a vowel, the second letter is the vowel."
George - "And sometimes Y"
Glynis - "Yes."
George - "You're taking me back to English class.  Ha, ha, ha.  I'm not sure I passed, though."

George Noory sucks.

Did they move him ahead anyways just because he would be making the rest of the class dumber?

[Falkie2013]

No, they moved the school AND all the students and didn't tell Snoory where the new one was and left him there all alone.


It scarred him for life.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Who said anything about him doing no wrong?  I think I and the other poster have made it clear we don't think he is a competent host.  But this is exactly what I don't want to become... someone who is so wrapped up in my hatred and opinion I can't accept anything but black and white adherence to my belief system, or am completely blind to anyone who might admit the possibiilty that someone, Noory in this case, is not 100% bad and 100% evil.   I'm not a shill.  I'm a Canadian (I know what shill means but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say).  Something tells me you're a Tea Party Republican.  Sorry, I tried to keep this light and reasonable but obviously that was not an effective approach.

If you need to completely detest someone, direct it at a true fraud like Hoagland, Leer, or Quayle, and not just a fool host.

[coaster]

Noory is not an evil man. Hes just a nitwit and he has no respect for his job. However, I do think hes bright enough that if put a little bit more effort into the show, he would become a better host.

[Meanandnasty]

I could listen to him at first.  He was not Art, but who could be.  I find that as he has done more events and other shows that he has just become more slovenly with Coast and that is just totally disgusting. I guess fame does that to someone.  A lost cause.

Snoory uses little of the first definition and thinks almost everything is a marvel.

The fact that he always uses it to mean "amazing" or "astonishing" was my point. That and the fact that he apparently doesn't know another word to substitute for it. As I've said before (at the risk of making an excuse for him), maybe it's because his background is in television which is notorious for dumbing down everything.
