George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[NooryIsADouchebag]

Wow, what a schtrange couple days on here.  For a second, I even considered looking into changing my username because.. haha just kidding.  Jorch still sucks and my username is still valid.  In fact, if that really was Jorch and not one of his minions, he showed he is even more of a d-bag with his desperate and transparent ploy to curry favor with this thread on the very eve of Art's triumphant return.  But whatever.. he will soon be totally irrelevant to anyone with a shred of brain in their skull.

And thanks to all you thread "loyalists" for staying the course with your insightful posts and not succumbing to the Noory apologist invasion!

[nooryisawesome]

I think noory sucks and I like the fact noory is posting here.

[Emt2001]

George Noory STILL sucks!!! Sorry everyone. I needed to get that out

[Partiefiuchter]

[NooryIsADouchebag]

And by the way, I am so confident that Jorch won't significantly change for the better that I hereby officially request MV to change my username to "NooryIsMyHero" in the infinitesimally unlikely event he does.  Seems like a pretty safe bet to me since, soon, there won't be anybody in this thread listening anyway.

Last night I asked "Gnoory" to change his horribly creepy eyeball avatar, and within 20 minutes, he did (it's still creepy).  I later asked him "what he found"  in response to his post  that he had "found something I lost a long long time ago."

No answer.

It seems to be part of the same mystery around Noory's biography. It doesn't seem to exist anywhere, not even on his wiki page. We have certain elements: the degree, working in TV in some sort of editorial role, the Navy years, the failed rancher, the failed restaurateur  etc, but no linear narrative to it that I've ever seen.

Interesting. He is kind of like that character Chance Gardener (Peter Sellers) in the 1979 movie Being There.
Having lived his life as the gardener on a millionaire's estate, Chance (Peter Sellers) knows of the real world only what he has seen on TV. When his benefactor dies, Chance walks aimlessly into the streets of Washington D.C Los Angeles.

Ideally a reason to better himself.
Most likely a box of pizza rolls he forgot about.

The only difference being people actually wanted to listen to Chance.

I even bumped your quote up to see if he'd answer it, but no, he dodged all the questions like that.

Let's see what did Dave lose and then found?

dignity
self esteem
pride
sense of accomplishment
goals
dreams
being a good radio host

Nope, I can't figure it out.

[castimout]

I here he was funny to. Dave is not funny on coast.
Maybe he should use his alter ego ala super man.

He has let that ego swell his head so much ("I'm on Coast to coast now and oh so important") that his brain is starved for oxygen.  YOU still aren't that important George.  You are a radio show host, not a star!!

Clonazapam = Tommy/Lisa/Premrat Intern. One of those

I'm embarrassed that I white-knighted "her" when she first came here. I thought that she was a damsel in distress.

[NooryIsADouchebag]

Can't wait for tonight's show on Enlightened Beans to see how much George has improved.

[Nucky Nolan]

So everyone should hurl abuse at George every time he posts here, because that would make them all adult-like? 

I haven't seen a lot of fawning over George in this thread.  His responses have been civil, and I think those who have engaged with him have been respectfully stating their cases about shortcomings on the show.  What the hell is to be gained by endlessly shouting "YOU SUCK!!!!" into his (virtual) face?

It's good to see a mature adult posting here. Where did they all go?

[Sardondi]

After reading GNoory's posts, I've come to the conclusion that it is not actually him.  When he first began posting, his grammatical style, his use of ellipses, was what we have seen in messages from George.  When someone complained, GNoory suddenly began posting in complete sentences with correct spellings.  I believe the postings are by one of George's minions - probably foisted onto an intern.

Not to mention a man uses all his off-air time hosting a radio show with an audience of a few hundred thousand, to go to a forum viewed by a couple of hundred people who don't like him. I can believe it's a minion/intern but I would really be surprised if it's with his knowledge. Conceivably it's a way to fade some heat (10 years after the horse left the barn), but to do so is simply not in his nature. My guess it's a fan trying to help him. How to account for these supposed "test responses" - I'm not even certain what was done.

All in all the response to the possibility of George Noory posting has been a classic "stampede" where supposition quickly becomes rumor becomes fact becomes foregone conclusion. It smells.

Hello everyone,

I'm typically an archlurker. I like to pass by and see what people are saying about coast, the guests and lately Art's return to broadcasting (very exciting!). I'm one of those thousands of people that would normally not post, mainly for lack of enough hours in the day to maintain an active forum presence. Reading is fast, but posting takes time that I can't ever seem to make. But, you know, when Noory's paying attention it becomes worth making time in hopes of helping to improve the show.

He's asking for constructive criticism, showing a willingness to read (but apparently not play the didgeridoo on air for precisely 36 seconds. I was hoping for that one) and react, and even "kick it up a notch". So, you know, instead of a pummeling the guy with negativity, let's give him what he's asking for.

George,

I have a long history of listening to C2C and you. I started listening to Art in 1995. I live in St. Louis, and well remember the days of the radio "double header" that we were lucky to have. You ushered in the evening as the Nighthawk setting the paranormal/alternative news tone, building up to Art Bell's show. It was great, listeners like me had roughly 8 hours of programming that fit our tastes. As someone that works predominantly at night, I literally built a business and wrote a book with Coast and the Nighthawk running in the background. I also remember the relief you were when Coast declined after Art's retirement and the other host of that period took over (I don't mean to be negative towards him, he'd have made a great sports broadcaster. Not a good fit with C2C though).

But the show became disappointingly lackluster over the years. In one man's opinion, and I hope everyone else gives theirs, the show simply became too "Hollywood mainstream entertainment" and completely lost the "edgy, underground feel" that us night folks loved and Art is so masterful with. Of course, you're not Art, but hey, you were the Nighthawk and he was pretty darned good.

I could be entirely off base, but here are some things that could help:

1. Less fluff. Fewer shows about angels, numerology, and the like and a little more science and edgy topics. For example, if you could interview Snowden or someone like him, you'd have it. Another would be to have Robert Zubrin dig into some of his other books, such as "Merchants of Despair" and explore that subject matter. Art had things like "The Quickening", maybe you could further explore the unnatural negativity that pervades the world these days. You can't even read modern sci fi novels without taking Prozac, I mean, there is a serious problem with the world that's driving us away from exploring space and into a mode of decline because people are becoming conditioned by the media and pop culture to be negative and anti-humanist. Zubrin knows all about that, and I'd love to hear more and more like him.

2. I know you have to keep up ratings and adjust the show for the market you have. But sometimes it's coming across as a bit corporate. Rebrand things as a little more independent from Premiere's influence, and you may get good results especially in light of Art's feud with them.

3. We live in uncertain times. In the 90's we had that feel of never trust the government in shows like Art's, the X-Files, and the like. Now, even with the government showing itself to be way worse than it was in those days, there's gotta be a huge untapped market that doesn't want to hear the usual Republican and Democrat slants. A forum for the non-mainstream views is something Coast could be better at. Heck, interview a communist. Then a libertarian. Have them debate on air, or have a round table. Get some member of a foreign government for a different perspective of US policy and hit them with a UFO question. Go outside the box that coast has built over the last decade in regards to guests.

I'm sure there's more, and I can't wait to hear everyone else's suggestions. I just wanted to see if I could get a ball rolling.

This should be read. It's an excellent post.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt too as I try to do unless they are obvious trouble-makers right out of the gate.

He's probably the genuine article. Why is he doing it? Your guess is as good as mine, but it may be instructive to look at psychological drives that come forth in times of great personal depression and stress. One does uncharacteristic things when one is in such a state of mind. Perhaps that's reading into things too much. If not, it's all the more reason to be civil and cordial to "George Noory" if and when he posts her. There may be imperceptible translations of his responses that are much more important than meet the eye. That was intentionally vague, as his psychological life is none of my business.

He made a Twilight zone reference when asked.  He made some sort of Frackin Horror Stories comment when asked.  He made a shoutout to Roy when asked.  He made a shoutout to Goatsy the cat when asked.  MV had him login with a security code to confirm it was him.  It may still be that someone else was doing the legwork (I doubt it because it was done perfectly in his style of speaking) but for all practical purposes it was definitely George.  He did backflips to gain our trust.  I don't think we can confirm he was associated with the trolling, but it certainly lowers his credibility.

edit:  really, I'm not sure why I'm using 'we' since I am merely a member and a recent one at that.

[Roy Hinkley]

How to account for these supposed "test responses" - I'm not even certain what was done.

There were four solid test responses.  It was done to prove the that "Gnoory" was at the studio, which it did as they were all unmistakable.  I will find my post of the audio clips - please hold.

Oh, and just for fun, "...terror threat that supposedly targeted US Enbanies" at 2:54 LOL!!

Has anyone posted audio to any of this?  I'm not going back there!

Jorch dropped in to say "Hi!"  Lilly came back for awhile but had a hasty departure.  Just think of it like a family reunion.  The important thing remains the same, Art will be back broadcasting soon.
