George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[NoMoreNoory]

When he wrapped up her interview, he described her book as 'brilliant', clearly implying he had read it, yet failed to make a single reference to the contents while talking to Ms Newitz, clearly demonstrating that he hadn't so much as skimmed it during the 8 hour show prep. Lying hypocrite.
Two hours, or even a whole show, of her with Knapp or Ian would have been fascinating, but in the hands of Noory, it just crumbled away to dust as The Idiot once again demonstrated his basic inability to conduct an intelligent interview. Quite pathetic.

[ItsOver]

He just said he's bought his one year old granddaughter a box of plastic insects.  Who buys one year olds bugs as a present?.... 

Geesh...Jorch would have a hard time even fitting in with The Munsters.  :

[expat]

Noory banned Sylvia Browne when she made a wrong prediction about miners years ago.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a prediction as such. After the false report that they were all alive, she said "I knew they'd be found." Then when the report was sadly corrected she claimed to have been perfectly right because they WERE found -- just not alive.

Fuller version here.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Yes, but they undoubtedly get a cut of the money brought in just like any book seller and they probably collect a small referral fee for any traffic they send her way.  You do not really expect them to put their money where their mouth is, do you?


I caught Geroges rant at the beginning before killing the radio tonight.  I just kept wondering if she got a speaking engagement that he was trying for or what she did to upset him so much.  I cannot imagine that George (who keeps Hoagland as his science adviser and gives a platform to any medical quack who contacts him)  is really that outraged that a psychic was wrong.  Could it be that she refused to co-author (write) his next book with (for) him?  Did she refuse to be a last minute guest when another had cancelled or tell an audience at an event that George really is not a nice person?  What we witnessed was something that was personal for George.

A show about exposing coverups and holding people's feet to the fire with no integrity of its own.  How pathetic.

As I alluded to before, I think every sham host, conspiracy theororist, and pseudo-science needs one shining instance of apparent morality to make them look legit.  By the accounts, even Noory knew Brown's deception was so obvious on that program that his audience wouldn't let her get away with such fraudulent behaviour.  She therefore became his scapegoat, allowing him to say "see, look what an outstanding bastion of accountable broadcasting I am.  No fraud on this show will go unchallenged!"

No George, no not much.  Just nearly every other show you've done and nearly every other guest you've promoted.

not to mention the many other psychics and remote-viewer Major Ed Dames, who all have made many more wrong predictions but Noory keeps having back on the show often...

... and not to mention the greatest fraud of all, somebody who tries to pass himself off as a competent radio host... Jorch Nooree.

What's JB Wells' head shot doing on the Noory thread?

[VtaGeezer]

Thought Newetz in the first hour was interesting, but her contribution was rapidly erased by Donderi's dull rehash of tired old UFO material and Noory's dreadful insipidness that combined to turn last night into yet another snorer.

Donderi was slow and methodical, but I really appreciated the way he strictly adhered to facts he could verify and called George out whenever he tried to make speculations that he wasn't qualified to make.  This may be tired old stuff, but based on that interview, Donderi is one of the few UFO authors I'd actually be willing to read.

yeah it was refreshing to hear a guest continue to answer "I don't know or can't confirm" for all Noory's and caller typical speculative questions.

I agree completely. Yes, a bit of a re-hash but it's refreshing to hear a guest talking about UFOs without going into a lot of speculation and personal beliefs.
I've only listened to the first two-thirds or so of the interview, but Donderi is an expert on human visual perception and memory and so far disGeorge has yet to ask a question about how that relates to UFO sightings. What a joke.

[WOTR]

How many times has Fitz been on Coast?  She was still unaware of Georgies bad, bad producer who seems to occasionally dump the caller as soon as the question has been asked (that was Geroges explanation of why callers get dumped, was it not).  I loved haring her ask the caller if they were calling form California.  George comes back with a quick response that the caller was from California.  Just once I would like to hear a caller come back on to answer the guests question.  At least this time Jorch could provide the answer rather than tell us that the caller is unexpectedly gone.

That is it- another show called in and wrapped up.  Not horrible, but nothing stellar.  Jorge really has taken to just following the script and I am trying to recall why I did not turn the radio off when I woke up from my nap...

George said he had an OBE at age 11.  Then he read a book about it.
First, I don't remember hearing that story before.
Second, I thought the first book he read was "Chariot of the Gods" which was not published until he was 18.

[valdez]

     George counters Johnny B.'s "dope show" with his very own "fish oil segment" with Brian Peskin.  Turns out the stuff may not be good for you. Catherine Austin Fitts listens to comrade George mumble something about "the haves and the have nots" for the umpteenth time, and George also informed her that this was "an interactive show, so we'll be taking some calls."  Because before, when he just took calls, it was laziness, but now it's interactive.  See how that works?  Bob Peterson's personality must have had an out-of-body experience and never came back.  George revealed to the world that "it's very difficult to time travel."  And a pain in the ass, too.

[fleming]

Noory said regarding the world situation that we need to strap ourselves in tightly for the ride...Catherine Fitts said that we should be amused!  What a breath of fresh air she is after hearing all about paranormals, OBEs, shadow ppl, and UFOs.

Jorch just makes up a lot as he goes.  That's why we keep hearing the same stories but they're always a little bit different and customized for each situation.  I think he's done that throughout his life in a sorry attempt to hold peoples' attention.

[El Kragen]

I listened to a little bit of Brian Peskin segment last night. I wasn't really buying what he was selling but he sounded like a decent enough guy who really wanted to get his message out. sNoory was his usual uninterested self. He crossed over into asshole territory though trying to cut the guest off in order to get to those all important calls. He tried once but Peskin kept on point talking about the issues. Then George cut him off and actually said "Well anyways, East of the Rockies..." Blowing off what the guy was saying in a completely rude and unprofessional manner.

There was a point where the guest was trying to say something about how Fish Oil affected diabetics.  I was hoping to hear a little more about that, but of course George f'd that up, because he was paying no attention and was only concerned about getting a bunch of callers on.

Omega-3 fatty acids increase insulin sensitivity, which helps to lower blood sugar levels. In the long term, this reduces insulin resistance, lowering blood sugar levels.

Onan, what's your take on statins?  Are they good or bad?

Onan, what's your take on statins?  Are they good or bad?

It's a bit out of my specialty, but taking a statin, for cholesterol management I am assuming, has some conditions. Taking a statin increases one's chances of diabetes by about 10 percent. there is also sigificant concern for how one's liver tolerates a statin. Taking a low dose aspirin decreases your chance of a fatal heart attack by about 40% (IIRC); adding a statin adds another 5% cushion. If one is healthy enough to walk 2 miles a day I would suggest that... but I am not a doctor and I don't play one on tv. I am not comfortable with the side effects of statins... unless there are previous cardiac complications. If so then by all means consider taking them. Again listen to your health care providers because they most likely know more about your ongoing health than I ever will.

Peskin, though focused on "fish oil", made a frontal assault on the overuse of supplements based on hype-driven "studies" and the word of self-appointed health "experts" like Noory.  By the tone of Noory's voice I could tell he was agitated and upset that the credibility one of his C2C staples was being eroded before his eyes.  I think he was also seriously scared by Peskin of the damage to his own health from downing megadoses of omega-3. Peskin may never be back on C2C; his only hope for a return comes from not mentioning tumeric

Mr. Peskin was primarily talking about the deleterious effects of excessive doses of DHA and its oxidization in the high temperature environment of the body.  He was speaking against fish oils, reporting they caused damage.  I haven't yet found his claims about fish oils with regard to diabetes except that he suggests they either provide no cardiovascular benefit or actually increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetic women.  In any case as he was clearly not about to support fish oils as being beneficial for diabetes.

Well, I think he is wrong... I would bet money on it. But I don't keep up with all the studies. I give two strikes against his credibility just talking with noory. I give another two strikes against because he seems to be going against what I think is current medical practice (which can be complicated and misconstrued). Personally I wouldn't take any medical advice from anyone on late night radio.


For instance... high temperature environment of the body... huh? I dunno... I smell quack. mileage may vary.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Most every guest I check out on weeknight Coast indeed turns out to be discredited or I can discredit myself.  The worst are the ones who fool me for an entire program into thinking they are making a good case, only to find their credentials are falsified and their claims are all unsupported and bogus.  I beat myself on the head a few times over those ones, worried about my intellectual decline.  So, I must agree that using 'interviewed by Noory' as a measure against the credibility of a guest isn't just an idle insult.. it is in fact a legitimate metric.

What's your take on the increase of dementia and the increased number of RXs for statins? Any correlation with the reduced level of cholesterol in the body affecting the functioning of brain, which needs cholesterol?  On a personal level, I've seen a pretty dramatic effect on my father-in-law's mental functioning after he started atorvastatin (Lipitor).  Could be a coincidence, but I'm not so sure.

This is a really complicated question. Statins do more than decreasing cholesterol they also have some anti-inflamatory effect. So... as people age their memories are sometimes affected. Some studies say that roughly 10 percent of people over 65 have some amount of dementia. I would agree. Dementias however are not all the same beast. So... the short of it as one ages there is more likely the use of statins and there is also an increase of dementia.


This site may give you some answers or at least help ask better questions to you doctor (not saying your question wasn't a good one).

The C2C website is playing-up it's new St. Louis FM station.

"Coast to Coast is happy to announce our new affiliate in St. Louis, FM NewsTalk 97.1, now carrying the show live from 12a-4am."

Hey, Jorch, what happened with your old "Nighthawk"  :  AM home station? Why did you get kicked-off that station months ago?  Is your new St. Louie station one of the hamster-powered ones?
