George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ItsOver]

Premrat wouldn't dare re-brand C2C. They are not stupid, a lot of the lissners would want to know what happened to C2C, and demand to know who the hell this Jorge Noorie guy was in place of C2C.
Much like the radio program directors reply about that Dave Noorie guy.

yes - Noory after 10 years should be his own man and break from Art Bell completely.
different show name, no more Art Bell bumper music, format, etc

I had the same thought as Morgus and R. Hinkley, too.  "I'm not Art" knows he's not Art, claims he has to do a different kind of show to keep his PremRat master happy, so why not just call the show what it is, "Jorch's Nightly Romper Room Suckfest" or something similar?  No, PremRat would rather try to continue to try to superficially ride on the past success of what Art created rather than live "the trooth."  "Trust me... this Yugo really is a Mercedes because it's got thuh same name!!!  We've made it even better!"

It's all about the bucks and the bottom line.  No need for a quality product as long as the dark master can clear a sufficient number of dollars.  The irony of these type of situations is that if the corporate suits and Jorch-type sycophants weren't so adverse to true creativity, afraid of their own shadows, and slaves to bean-counting accountants and analysts, they could be overwhelmed with profit.  Is it any wonder Art bailed on this corporate Borg? 

[Mind Flayer Monk]

This guy will have fat Tommy listen to Art's show and try to steal everything.  I forsee the coming disaster.......for Jorge!

We have to start a thread to document this, because its going to happen.

Anyone else think Barry Eaton sounded like JohnB Wells when he does his 'British' (but sounds Australian) accent?


I am using firefoox and also have the pages at the bottom problem.

Poor Dave had to say Eukanuba AND salmonella last night.

I think I broke the forum last night, so that's why the page numbers are not displaying. I will try to get this fixed later today.

I had to watch the preseason football game last night and missed the all the postings. I want to see the photoshop head comment but can't scroll back. I trust it will be fixed soon.

Hey,,,,one month from today fellow BellGabbers!
I look forward to commenting on the new Art Bell show and be done with GNS.
That will be a joyous day indeed.

[WildCard]

Is this thread broken? Can't seem to click on any older pages (want to go back to about 1033) without all but the most recent simply... disappearing? What gives? traffic?

I'm having the same issue with firefox and safari.

It's a good, succinct post from Ziznak.  I believe he was trying to be accommodating with "I'm not Art" but he wanted to reassure us it wasn't going to stop him from displaying his clever photoshop techniques. 

Yes!  The second coming will soon be here!  Hallehuja! 

I'll pray for forgiveness for my momentary sacrilege. 

[NoMoreNoory]

I listened to an hour of the Barry Eaton interview, and I thought George was less prickish than usual.  When a woman named Jackie called in recounting her hardships and struggles in life, George let her tell her story.  Barry was supportive.  George asked why some people have hard times in their lives. However, after reading Valdez's summation, it's same old, same old. Same old stupid questions, comments and recycled bumper music that's over 40 years old and played into the ground.  This guy will have fat Tommy listen to Art's show and try to steal everything.  I forsee the coming disaster.......for Jorge!

Didn't hear much of last night's show, but I did hear that call. It was a harrowing roll call of personal tragedies from Jackie, who was getting more and more upset. Any professional host would have broken in to engage her in conversation and try to calm her down. Not Noory. He let her go and go and go, then lobbed a soft question about being 'tested' to his guest who responded with a bunch of inane platitudes ('I can tell you're getting stronger'), and on they went. We never heard from Jackie again. It was horrible. It upsets me terribly when Noory treats difficult calls from distressed listeners like this. He just displays a complete lack of empathy, compassion and simple humanity when he does it, which is often. But give him a tale of a mangled baby and he's all over it, because these are - what did he say here the other night? - 'real tragedies that need to be told' or some such crap.
I am genuinely baffled that some here are still pursuing the chimera that Noory might improve from being on here (assuming it's him at all). He is, quite simply, the single worst broadcaster I have ever clapped ears on. You can't improve on utter incompetence. You can't 'up your game' when you have no ability in that game. Whatever his motives for popping up on this thread may be, you may rest assured it has nothing to do with listening or self-improvement. Ignore him along with the trolls would be my advice.
Meanwhile, I'm finding I have to get up earlier and earlier every day just to allow time to catch up with the thread!

[ponyboysunset]

Yeah post your dam statistics dave. No one has seen you awesome ratings. Lets see them

Couldn't agree more. Prove it! I am not getting on the he's trying band wagon, I'm just not. And as far as not wanting to be duped, I'm not, and wasn't from the beginning.

Be civil, absoluetly. But question someone's motives, you betcha. I am amazed at the willingness of people to listen to this guy because all of a sudden he is posting here and promises some results.
Where was he years ago if he really cared what anyone thought? Also what about all of you who have interacted with this guy through email and the lack of response? Or hostile reponse? Oh, right and the still not addressing of direct criticisims. I could go on, but I won't. While I wish no harm on anyone, I don't believe for one minute this guy is how is appears to be. It is simply to stop people from posting about the suckiness. It took all the focus off of what this thread is really about.

Thanks for your time, I will now get off of my soapbox.

I agree with you. He's not here for our help in making him better. I honestly can't believe anyone would buy that story. It's rather sophomoric and shallow. Hell, he had exactly what he says he is here for given to him and what does he do? Bails.
I compare it to some stranger knocking at some old lady's door to use the bathroom, and the old lady gets a surprise when she finds the stranger pilfering thru her underwear drawer.

That's the issue I was trying to tie in one time with what disorder someone would have to have to be that out of touch with emotion and your fellow man.  I too have listened to the poor folks who have called in and spilled their life out on national radio, often crying and clearly in need of counseling (I'm not saying that in a bashing way), only to be met by someone, Dave, who either has clearly never exxhperienced hardship in his life and/or just is utterly incapable of the human qualities so well listed above by nomorenoory.

And yes, catching up on here is killing my productivity, but then documenting and following the Dave is just too darn fun to miss.

I think mv's new avatar broke my eyes and my will to live. 

On the plus side, it's certainly a deterrent for thinking about extra helpings.

Are the eyes covered on MV's avatar because it could be someone we all know and love?

[ItsOver]

Why would a SANE jilted bride want to take in a slow-talking phony after being ignored and called a "hater" for all these years?  We're not "I'm not Art's" audience so we're not going to fall for a couple of creepy advances.

[Roy Hinkley]

yes - Noory after 10 years should be his own man and break from Art Bell completely.

You'd think for someone as "solid" as Dave, it would be time to take off the training wheels after TEN freaking years and go on your own - time to fly solo Dave and get off Art's coattails.

That's not "I'm not Art's" style, Roy.  He needs to hide under mommy PremRat's skirt.  It's been really clear from the start why Art bailed on PremRat.  "I'm not Art" "gets" the corporate PremRat game.  Art is "I'm not Dave."

I have some special bumper music to go along with that


The Chiffons - sweet talking guy

[Roy Hinkley]

success basically equals ratings.


I think if George could make the same income selling electric food dehydrators on late-nite infomercials he would do it with the same amount of enthusiasm.  In other words I don't think he really cares that deeply about the topics on C2C (as evidenced by his remarks to the effect that "it's all just entertainment"), instead he just wants enough of an audience to keep the gig going.  In fact he apparently only came here for some suggestions of possible "tweaks" he could do, rather than real structural reforms that we all know are needed.  Well sorry but that's like attempting to tweak a pizza roll into a fine pasta dinner - can't be done.

So for me it's back to making fun of the show as my ongoing form of peaceful protest against suckitude and waiting patiently until the Master returneth in Sept.

Great post.  It nails Dave's complete disdain and contempt he has for his lisssners. 

As I said before, he'd sell his mother if he thought he could make a buck - ya' know for a needy lissner and all.

Hahaha  .  Is there a "slow-witted" wolf version?

Excellent point.  I forgot Dave had such shtrong Mommy issues - he has merely replaced one for another and wants mommy PremRat to tell him what to do. 

P.S. I'm liking the "I'm not Dave" moniker - it may just shtick.

[MV/Liberace!]

i have fixed the page number issue.  let me know if you find anything else wrong.

search is broken at the moment.  marc knight was right.  the google custom search sucked, so i decided to roll back to the built in search, only to find it's messed up.  i'll get that figured out.

[MV/Liberace!]

Maybe MV, or the MudKing will be kind enough to send you an app they have in development.

It's called FireFlub.

firefub will revolutionize how you use the web.

[Roy Hinkley]

Thanks Maxwell.  Sorry, I had no right to ask you to keep doing this but it's appreciated.

Regarding the audio clips, yes VERY much appreciated!

Sometimes it's so difficult to find them when you have the full show, and then its nice just to have a clip and not the whole show.

Don't forget the paternal induced trauma he suffered as a youth, when his daddy decided to do "The Hamster Stomp."   

[Roy Hinkley]

Paper*Boy, you have given me the inspiration for two new theories.

1.  The Bumbling Detective Theory:

Hiring Dave was one of those attempts to destroy something that actually had the exact opposite effect.  In other words, someone wanted to ruin C2C, for some unknown reason, so they hired an Inspector Clouseau character to single-handedly deshtroy it.  In his bumbling way, in a Bizarro-world way, just the opposite happened because the audience had been so dumbed-down, it did not work.  The powers that be said, "Hmmm, okay, let's just leave it alone for now."

2.  The Johnny Bravo Theory:

They just needed a warm body.  PremRat was simply looking for the cheapest seat-warmer they could find to be a corporate yes-man.  Why was Dave hired - "The suit fit."

I'm seeing a Eye-Pad here, I just don't know how to do that yet!
