George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Meanandnasty]

Give us a host who does not play hooky.  Another Friday night out skipping the show, and I doubt that he will bring in a doctor's excuse.  Singing and gambling in Canada do not count.

[Gay]

Poor thing, can you imagine being the meat in a Tommy-Georgie sandwich?  It must smell worse than a truck stop men's room.

That smile she has is definitely fake.  And by the looks of it, it's not the only fake thing she's sporting.

And by the way, isn't that picture like the best advertisement against getting fake boobs?  For every decent guy who's attention you might get, there's probably 10 Georges or Tommys who come over to gawk at them.

I just turned on the radio and caught the end of the sentence:

"...a special private cellphone number I'll tell you about in a couple of weeks."


Can someone fill me in on their latest scheme. 


edit: speaking of "the mother of his children". "She got sick and I took care of her, and vice versa.". huh? George was sick?  A cold, brain tumor?  The whole thing came off as strange.  He quickly went to callers when he realized the guest wanted to delve deeper into George's life.

George gets a certain amount of vacation time every year.  Early on he didn't take enough and it built up to the point PremRat forced him to take a few weeks off around year end.  I think this is George's way of using up vacation without really taking time off.

Either he has nowhere to go and nothing to do, or he is terrified someone is going to do a great job filling in for a week or two and end up replacing him.  Probably both.

[WOTR]

WOTR:  I have an in-law who has Asperger's and he displays a few of sNoory's traits, such as an inability to read people or the context of a situation.  Maybe, this is also a symptom of some disorder.  If not AS, WOTR, what do you think sNoory has?

Honestly- I do not know.  He could have Aspergers (yes, it is hard to read people, hard to get non-verbal cues and social situations can be difficult- all things that George may have.)  Having said that, most people that I know who have any form of Autism despise most social situations.  The amount of energy it takes to be around people would just about make Georgies position sound like hell to most of us (yes- it is just personnel experience- but you may want to ask your inlaw if the job would hold any appeal; I suspect he would not want it.)  Attending parades, interacting with the public for a few hours a day, attending dozens of conferences each year where you have to pretend to care about people and networking with people to further your career does not sound like something that I would want. 


Most people do not associate me with somebody with Aspergers when they meet me.  There are a few of us who I know who can pull it off and remain somewhat undetected and we willingly attend SOME social events.  However, the effort it takes to think how you have to respond to every story, statement and joke while trying to concentrate on what needs to be done to show interest in what the person is thinking is multiplies when they are strangers and you are meeting them for the first time. Again, George does not have a good job for this.  Even if you were to think that he is just doing this for the money you have to remember that he was a man who owned a restaurant in his past as well.  I always get the mental image of sleazy George stopping by every table dressed in a jungle get-up and welcoming his guests.  Again- not an occupation for most people with Aspergers.


Anyhow, with all of that said, I am willing to diagnose George as suffering from terminal stupidity.  (One day a hot pizza roll or cold ice cream really will get him...)

His tone was defensive the moment he was asked about the mother of his children, saying he met her in high school.  He opened up a bit about that relationship, but only responded 'no comment' when asked if he had ever had that 'she's the one' moment with anyone.

Does smoking crack with the mayor of Toronto count?

I'm "on the spectrum" as they say, too.  I can see how folks would think sNoory is AS.  But I think something shows he is not - Aspies have interests.  Just ask an Aspie a question about one of his or her interests and you'll hear as much yacking as you'd get from Steve Quayle. I think an Aspie, put in George's position, would learn absolutely everything about the paranormal.  George, obviously, has not done that.  Also, George is obviously a corporate toadie.  I've never known an Aspie who could pull that off.

On to last night.  George did a story on the Washington State bridge collapse.  He got to his regular Bigfoot minute guest, who knew the bridge and the area, so the guest did an update on the bridge.  Later in the show, George was promoting his weekend appearance in Vancouver, and said for people in Seattle to come up to see him, "if you can figure out how to get over that bridge that collapsed."

[Histronic Fop]

Tonight's show was more WTF than usual. And I'd love to hear from the mother of his children -- that woman's gotta have some stories!

[valdez]

...His tone was defensive the moment he was asked about the mother of his children...

...The whole thing came off as strange.  He quickly went to callers when he realized the guest wanted to delve deeper into George's life.

     I suppose Rich Martini came on to talk about the afterlife, but what he had to say about Amelia Earhart was fascinating.  I'm going to check out that video he was talking about.  Yeah, George really didn't want to talk about his wife.  He always gets rattled when a guest asks him questions.  I think he's afraid of coming across like the dope everybody thinks he is, which is probably why he does those "meet and greets" as oppose to something more interactive.  I ran into static during the James McCanny segment.  I'm sure it was riveting.  Did George play that "Tomorrow" song in place of ufo phil (the last hour was his "open lines" since he's going to a "big event" tomorrow which, for some reason, he was vague about, telling us to go to the website if we wanted to know more...what a turd)?

Yes, that's true about my AS brother-in-law, he's always in the corner during family get-togethers, rarely interacting, while sNoory seeks out the spot light.  I guess sNoory doesn't have Asperger's, but he's not a normal guy, whatever his impairment is. 

[sleeplessinca]

I'm not feeling the Aspberger's diagnosis.  There's something off there but I don't know what.


I like the way he says World War One during the Ancestry.com spot.  It's just like my VW made right before the bearings went out or maybe an over loaded washing machine.  Best of all, he does it a bunch of times.

George Noory's "Academy of Truth" mug..? Were George involved in any institution of learning, I would think it would be Derek Zoolander's Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

...Later in the show, George was promoting his weekend appearance in Vancouver, and said for people in Seattle to come up to see him, "if you can figure out how to get over that bridge that collapsed."

Living near Vancouver I caught that too.  It's as if George thinks Vancouver is in some remote never-never land and there's only one winding mountain yellow brick road to get there.

And no, I never saw him as having Asperger's.  My impression of people with Asperger's (and I think my father and perhaps myself may have a mild form) is that they tend to have higher IQ's and laser focus on the details of things that interest them.  Einstein for instance is believed to have had Asperger's which may be how he was able to ignore his relationships and devote himself so well to his studies of physics. 

George just seems to have a limited IQ.  Also, his interview skills and his beliefs tend to suggest poor ability to focus and a lack of attention to detail (unless you have a burnt out light bulb.. then watch out!).  My knowledge on Asperger's and AS is extremely limited so I would defer to others on the board.  Those are just my thoughts.

I don't know how you guys are able to listen to that bastard without losing it. Seriously.
I couldn't do it without having to trade off a portion of my sanity or breaking shit.

Noory apparently takes only one day at a time off for many weeks now (Fridays) as a travel day to get to his frequent event appearances on weekends where he makes extra cash for his 'meet & greets' and selling autographed photos?

Back when Art Bell was the main host in the 1990s, he didn't usually have fill-in hosts when he took off for vacation, typically a week or two at a time. Instead the network would often run "Best of Art Bell" shows, as well as on the weekends.
Funny how the network has never played a "Best of Noory" show in all the past 10 years Noory has been main host, they always get a fill-in host and fill the weekends with other live hosts now...

Noory was probably only thinking of Tommy when the guest asked that...

Morgus, I like this point.
Especially considering how he aptly boasts of being the host longer than Art. So we should have shitloads of BON-BON's (Best of Noary) to pick over according to theory.

Excellent point

I've often thought that Mr. Noory had a dwarfed IQ.  His lack of depth, poor communication skills, and speech abnormalities suggest this.
Combined with the need to be in the spotlight with some really 'off' personal stories ..... not worth wasting time trying to listen anymore.  Done with C2C.

That about sums it up.  I'd add a complete lack of interest in the topics, and a complete lack of interest in improving...

What? George says Bigfoot collapsed it? Playing a Bigfoot Symphony by knocking a log on one of the spans I guess...

I thought you were joking but, sure enough, there IS a C2C "Classic" Kimono. 



I wonder if Tommy wears one as he performs his nightly geisha ritual with Jorch?

Before long they'll have their own cult. Probably with the black Nike's.

It's the Zombie Apocalypse all the government agencies have been preparing for with their F.E.M.A. camps and excessive purchases of ammunition, except instead of zombies it will be throngs of Coast to Coast fans from all 573 hamster powered cells, dressed in white kimonos, eyes glazed over, and ear buds playing the subliminal commands of general George Noory with lieutenants John B. Wells and Alex Jones.

For some reason I was thinking nude under robes, standing in the middle of the road covered in feces doing Hulk Hogan flexes.

Noory uses the word "classic" to describe many of his own shows too, so what would you expect of that robe?

It's even better than that: on the rare occasions when he cuts out early and they replay part of an old show in the last hour, they apparently can't even find an hour somewhere in which he doesn't suck.
