George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Dateline]

First Linda Howe quit c2c, now Jimmy Church, who is next?
Meanwhile Norway keeps going well past retirement age... 

My first thoughts are that Norry just inked another long-term contract for five more years, until he is seventy-five.  Jimmy Church realized that seat will never be held by anyone other than Norry during his lifetime.  Jimmy, I believe is in his mid-fifties now. 

[K_Dubb]

Maybe Norway told Jimmy he was finally going to hang it up and PremRat was going with someone other than Yimmy as Norway’s replacement.  Call me a dreamer.

If that is indeed the case, the only acceptable replacement is Michael Decon.  I know that is not his ambition but I am sure they can sweeten the offer to the point where he will consider it.  He has a fresh range of topics that, in their way, will pleasantly unnerve Noory's audience the way Art's did back when I first heard him.  More to the point, of all hosts I have heard, he is the true heir to Art in the things that matter to me:  a calm, reassuring presence very much in command of his own show, but using that authority to sit back and let the guest unwind his tale, the very best sort of interlocutor.  You are never sure where he stands on what he is hearing, much like Art.  My guess is he listens with the same wry smile I do, but simple binary questions like believe/don't believe that occupy the dull and unimaginative vanish in search of a compelling story.  Most importantly, I want to hear him tell me about the benefits of dietary fiber late every night in his sexy bedroom voice as I cuddle with my body pillow.  I am the kind of chump who will buy whatever he is selling -- I still have half a bag of chaga in the cupboard somewhere.

I think he should inherit the Hawaiian studio and I will move there to serve as his live-in producer, question-proposer a la Fat Tommee, personal chef, workout buddy and totally platonic masseur.  There will be two weeks of glorious shows on the Solutrean and Kurgan Hypotheses, the Athabascan Migration, Babylonian ritual baking, Migration-period burial practices, and Pre-Columbian links between Polynesia and South America until he actually invites a local wahine over one night for a post-show cooling dip and I chase them around the pool in a jealous fury, armed with a pastry bag of hot nougat, and he has to get a restraining order.

I always wondered, well not really but did wonder about it once, why Grandma clarified butter and what the heck that meant! A quick google says also that the great children's story so fondly recalled by all in these times is when Little Black Sambo got the tigers to his, that is the tigers, whirlwind exhaustion made ghee- not butter- which is clarified butter, of an Indian variety! And that was why the pancakes were so good. (Though I like sour cream on pancakes, not butter or ghee.)

ps: a Mandela effect but I swear I recall at some point Sambo was riding the Tiger(s) and that is why maybe the great Ronnie James put 'ride the tiger' into Holy Diver. Jump! Jump!

I do remember a picture in the book of him riding the tiger and his little red slippers were on the tiger's ears.

Agreed. With Syrett still on for guest hosting and good callers. And YOU as guest host on for the already contracted "health" MLM shows- you can discuss dairy issues, poor fat-content of US dairy products (and associated conspiracies thereof) and, worse, the fat-content of many US citizens! Maybe you can even get Doc Wallet to explain why eggs are ok but no oils but his stance on suet, tallow, or lard? And the conspiracy of using vegetable oils versus animal fats.

And you need to ensure "Bill from Madison" get a full show on his Finn-Urghic theorizing.

i couldn't log on to this site for a week, my anti-virus and browsers were detecting malware/viruses.

so what's wrong with Cornelius? i heard some caller say they were praying for him.

This is by far my most favorite post, to be honest I would take the gig.

Noory's childlike mind is awe inspiring - his guest's shtick is we are entering a mini Ice Age. Noory as usual in his attempt to be a good interviewer just blurts out random things his reptilian brain connects to 'ice age' so Jorch tells the guest that 'they recently discovered a frozen woolly mammoth in Siberia fully intact and gosh he even had food in his mouth. How fast can an ice age happen?'

lol he literally thinks because this woolly mammoth was found with food in its mouth that the planet instantly went into a deep freeze while the mammoth was enjoying lunch  - that's his mind, he was no doubt thinking about the Batman villain Mr. Freeze who could instantly freeze anything.

This was my favorite place for breakfast, back in the late 70’s.





Great pancakes.

I remember those, are there any still around? I loved family restaurants on family vacations - Howard Johnson's was my favorite. In fact the only part of family vacations I liked was the driving part, the rest stop restaurants and picking out a motel with a pool. Had no interest in visiting tourist attractions, just leave me at the pool with money for the vending machines, enjoy wherever you're going.

“The chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 1981.[2] All locations except for the first in Santa Barbara either closed outright, or were renamed after being purchased, effectively ending the chain's existence.

Battistone's grandson, restaurateur Chad Stevens, owns the only remaining restaurant in Santa Barbara which continued business under the Sambo's name until 2020.[16] In late May 2020, George Floyd protests against racism in the United States began in cities across the United States, including Santa Barbara. A petition drive asked the owner to change the name of Sambo's. In June 2020, the name on the original Sambo's sign was temporarily changed to the motto "☮ & LOVE" (where "☮" is the Unicode symbol for "peace," U+262E).[17][18][19] In July 2020, the restaurant was officially renamed to "Chad's".

In 1979, Sambo's had 1,117 outlets in 47 American states.”  per Wiki.

I'm hungry for pancakes, and Doc Wallet will be drooling over those enticing eggs.

[ItsOver]

Sambo’s pancakes were the best, especially the silver dollar ones.  Here’s another article, fondly reminiscing about the institution, including a pancake recipe.

I met the future ex Mrs. C while working at Sambo's one summer. It was pretty fun, they had great coffee too. Ground the beans fresh for each pot.

Imagining every orange cylinder splitting open as a large lime green preying mantis emerges from each.

Regarding Church's exit...

I hope they all jump ship, forcing Noory to work every night.

That would be a hoot.

George would panic, insisting they BETTER FIND SOMEBODY FAST.

"biscuit and baking mix"  this should be more detailed! K_dubb and pate will no doubt have a solution to this.

I like how the Sambo's name originated not intended to piggyback on the classic children's story. Back when America was great and entrepreneurs recognized opportunity!

"Chad's?" No thanks. Who the F would go to place named that?

Oh no I don't have his commanding presence behind the mic!  For that type of show I would sit close by (very close by) writing incredibly astute questions on small pieces of paper which I would then secrete about my person, and their retrieval (with much suppressed laughter and muting of microphones) would be our standard method of communication.

But YES put out an APB for Bill!  None of this schplitshow nonsense; that would be a four-hour extravaganza!  If he has at last heard the trumpet of Vainamoinnen we will get an actor, or I could play him in a pinch.

Ha!  “Chad’s” says it all.  Bye, Sambo’s!  You are missed!

No Jimmy Church?  Has Heather Wade been added to the rotation roster yet? 

[albrecht]

The intro to last's nights program was amazingly weird. Or least it struck me as so when trimming some of trees. A shout-out, as Norway would call it, to Tommee's mom who is dead? Or not, it wasn't clear. And then some weird mispronunciations.
The Iceman who camests also was talking about South Africa being attached and then just Africa to the Americas and "electronic horses?" I might have misheard this. Bizarre. A ramp jump at the Continental Divide? Corrected to the San Andreas Fault. Myat (sp?) talk about magnetic versus  physical poles....riveting.

[klaatu2]

I believe they were marking Tommee's mother's 100th birthday, but I believe she is no longer living.

I thought Jimmy Church was the obvious heir to Noory. With him gone there is no obvious replacement.
Noory is taking more time off as he ages.

I think cutting church might have been a cost saving move by Premier too possibly. Lots of companies are cost cutting with Covid.

I’d assume Syrett is next in line?

I always assumed it was Knapp next.

Knapp is not available as a regular weekday host, he already has a regular TV job.

Oh okay, I wasn't aware if he was still full time at KLAS. I have zero issues with Syrett taking over.

[Morgus]

The guest just told Norway that he has an incredible charisma and could run for President!

Tommy just reported that regular caller Barry in South Carolina had a stroke..

[Camazotz Automat]

Mosquitoes.

Again.

Absolutely fascinating late night talk radio.

Hellooooooooooo, Netflix.

The voice of calm ended the show with some reassuring words

'Folks it's going to be a tough battle, tougher than you know - but we're going to win this'

whaaa? I thought it was just the seasonal flu?

Ol' buddy ol' friend of mine Barry suffered what sounds like a major stroke BUT Noory didn't deem Barry's life important enough to lead a group intention prayer for Barry. You know those group intention prayers have an 80% success rate as George often tells his audience.

oh well, I'll send up a prayer for Barry on my own.
