George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[WOTR]

I almost made it through half an hour before I realized that George was on.  I heard him complaining about the Florida woman not sharing her money without it really registering (he seems to be fixated.) When the guest told George that he is just like Johnny Carson when he hosts his internet show I started laughing.  Yes, George is just like Johnny and has this great interaction with his live audience according to the guest.


I can only imagine him stumbling into the studio and walking up the isle with Frank Sinatra playing while he tries for some high 5s from the 20 studio audience members.  I think it is time to listen to something else the Johnny... Er, I mean George.

What's that, George? Where did Edward Leedskalnin take the secret of Coral Castle?  To his bedside?  His deathbed?

[Morgus]

Tonight Noory is pushing for 1500 listeners to 'like' him on Facebook, he says he needs to reach some 'plateau'
What could that be all about?

[Immy]

WTF?? The best thing to call this (in addition to natural stupidity) is stunted stream of consciousness. And it happens a LOT! He's truly a mid-level functionial moron.

[Juan]

Later on, George said he needed only 1300 more people to "follow" him on Facebook.

Don't even think about escaping my grasp

whoa that really looks like a rug hes wearing

Why are they so bad about posting the Friday Night 1st half guest?  It's always TBA on the site until just before the show.  The type of person that appears on Coast usually isn't the type hitting the clubs on a Friday Night, so shouldn't it be easy to find any one of thousands of authors looking to hype an eBook?

Has Noory become toxic?  Maybe authors are turning him down left and right, so all he has left are the regulars.  Soon he'll be forced to bring in The Numbers Lady and LA Marzulli on a weekly basis.  It's already pretty close to that now!

That's a great question, Gay.

Noory certainly is a nasty/nice personality and has probably alienated more than a few guests with his penchant for asking the same three same questions over and over again in a single segment. Any self-respecting C2C guest, and I suppose there have been one or two, who survived Noory never wants to come back, no matter what small spike it gives their e-book on Amazon.

The "Numbers Lady"    told George to ignore "THE HATERS".   

WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED!!!!   

Also, did anyone notice that Noory started to really fall apart during the Coral Castle interview?  He was literally like, well.......doing his usual.....repeating questions and commenting with:  That's so true (which, by the way he is saying again regularly.......he backed off of those true, truly, that's so true, for a while)

But, he was even stranger and more bizarre than usual..... for about two segments of the second interview.....and then, he kind of snapped out of it.     and was his regular simplistic self the last half hour.

As usual, George threw the guest off by breaking his train of thought with vague questions like "tell me more about this guy" and asking about things the guest had already discussed at length.   Examples are George asking about the 'tripod devices' and the Fibonacci sequence after earlier lengthy descriptions

"Tell me more about this guy" threw the guest because it interrupted him from discussing some interesting aspect of Coral Castle, and he wasn't really sure who George meant since it came out of the blue.  Also, the guest had already pretty much exhausted his knowledge on 'this guy' by then.   It certainly looked like George had run out of things to ask and was in the middle of his lunch.

Eight hours of show prep?  I doubt he does eight minutes.

An open letter to George Noory:

George, we know situational intelligence isn't your strong suit and that you work better from prepared questions, but we are all starved for intelligent interaction with the guest.  Please, you must make interviewing an active process!  You can't multi-task!  It will do the program a world of good if you can write notes while your guests are speaking.  You don't ever have to read the notes.  They don't even have to be legible.  But this will keep you in the conversation and allow you to pick up on key points in the guest's arguments.  Thus presenting -- you know -- a conversation instead of a bunch of random pre-programmed questions. 

We don't need you to do eight hours of show prep.  We don't care how much more you know than the guest, or how smart you were as a child.  We just need you to engage the guest, facilitate his discussion, and keep the flow of the conversation going by picking up on his talking points.  Flow, George.  Please for the love of Coast stop staring at your email and take notes if you can't do it any other way. 

[MV/Liberace!]

...the Knoxville, TN  FM station that has carried Coast for years dropped it along with whatever else they used to run.  The have a new format of all country music. Yee haw!

yay... because there aren't enough stations playing country music. 


radio is so dead.

Noory apparently can't ignore us, he is always mentioning and complaining to guests about "the haters out there" 

[Gay]

yay... because there aren't enough stations playing country music

Not to mention smart phones, iPods, laptops, tablets.

As usual, George threw the guest off by breaking his train of thought with vague questions like "tell me more about this guy" and asking about things the guest had already discussed at length. 

I'd say Noory is both very insecure and a narcissisit so he's compelled to step on his guests frequently lest the audience forgets whose show it is.

I can pretty much tell you what GN's response to this communique would be:

"get uh lif, u loser"

I occasionally take a look at the C2C website, if for nothing else to get a good laugh.  I see 'ol Jorch is on the road again this weekend, stumbling around Chicago.  I'm still laughing at the description of Jorch's "mission" in Chicago.

"June 7-9, 2013
Health Freedom Expo
Chicago
Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center
On Saturday, June 8th, at 4pm, George Noory searches for new discoveries in natural health with esteemed panel members."

"searches for new discoveries in natural health?"  Hahahaha.... a guy who was brutally assaulted by pizza roll?  There's something other than Carnivora and turmeric?

The description on the Expo site expands the nonsense even further. 

Lecture Title: George Noory Panel
Time and Date: 4:00 PM to 5:45 PM Saturday, June 8, 2013
Room: Utopia AB
Lecture Description: George Noory Investigates! Famed radio host of Coast to Coast, searches for new discoveries in natural health with his esteemed panel members.

It's a "lecture" with the "George Noory Panel."  Not only is curious Jorch searching, he's also investigating!

That's a great question, Gay.

Any self-respecting C2C guest, and I suppose there have been one or two, who survived Noory never wants to come back, no matter what small spike it gives their e-book on Amazon.

How many times would a guest come back after being summarily dumped during a break?  Could we assume some potential guests would do some research on their own and decide not to go on George's show in the first place?  Does word of his suckage get around?

Do book sales even spike anymore for a guest?

I hope not.

There was a guest not long ago who was on Colbert shortly before Coast.  I wonder if the Coast slide would negate the Colbert bump.

[BattyBrooke]

On Sunday night, after months of not tuning in, I turned on what used to be my favorite radio show of all time. I am not exaggerating when I say that the moment I turned the show on the first thing I heard was Noory saying this to the guest (Matthew Petti - Apocalypse & Metaphysics) - "Are you even hearing my questions?! Stay on track!". Noory was dead serious and said it with such a nasty, crotchety tone. It was embarassing to listen to. He obviously hates his job, the callers and now even the guests. Next time you bother to tune in, if you listen for it, you will hear an underlying tone of hostility sprinkled with irritation when you hear him speak to guests or callers. Not for the ads he reads/recites for the advertisers though. He's genuinely gung ho about those, which is no surprsie since it is painfully clear he is only on Coast for a paycheck. Period.

[PB the Deplorable]

...  it is painfully clear he is only on Coast for a paycheck. Period.

Yes, having to be on the air late in the evening certainly cuts into all that dating George does. 

Perhaps he'd be more enthusiastic if they paid him daily instead of every 2 weeks.

[VtaGeezer]

He's genuinely gung ho about those, which is no surprsie since it is painfully clear he is only on Coast for a paycheck. Period.

He considers himself to be a big time celebrity too. Ha!

[Morgus]

Noory has another ghost guest for the first 2 hours tonight, before open lines.
Bet he will skip out early and play a rerun of some old open lines for the last half hour though...

[Morgus]

Lots of callers during open lines tonight are still wishing Noory a Happy Birthday, nearly a week late.
Noory's screeners must be urging the callers to do that I bet...

[Immy]

Another classic Noory "not paying attention" screw-up.

Guest Tim Weisberg was telling him how a woman kept a haunted doll in a Tupperware container in her closet for 25 years. When she eventually sent it to Tim, it started acting up again. Ol' Jorch told him he should've kept it in the Tupperware container, to which Tim said "Well, she didn't send me the container, just the doll."

LOL, what a moron!

[Immy]

Another gem I thought I misheard from early in Tim's interview, when Jorchie tried to use "fraught":

"Tim, you live in an area froth with paranormal activity..." 

[Juan]

George was promoing Saturday's show when "Johnny" Wells hosts Alex Jones.
"Alex is attending the Bilderberg Conference in England, provided they let him into anything."

George almost had a little chuckle in his voice.  Was he attempting sarcasm rather than idiocy?  I did stop for a second and picture Jones, yelling through his bull horn, sitting at the conference table.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

I caught the show tonight and actually liked it. I thought the guest was pretty good and the callers were decent too. The stories reminded me of that old Friday the 13th tv show where they had to gather up all those lost evil paranormal objects.
