Are you into horror PW? No wonder you listen to C2C! George is truly horrifying.

Anyhoo, I go to New England every year for Halloween Season. I get to help out with Haunted Overload in New Hampshire. Even though I know all the actors it still scares me. It's an all outdoors haunt.

Yes, I love that stuff.  Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year.

Me too!!! Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I spend more on the Halloween Season than most people spend on xmas.

GEORGE NOORY SUCKS btw

[PB the Deplorable]

Although I think it's BS that George is scared of clowns. I think he's lying. I think he made it up because he's pathological.

Well yeah.  Everything he says about himself seems to have at least an element of a lie.  Made up on the spot, he just blurts it out - or sometimes when he's either 'thinking' about the show, his image, or something just comes to him.  Then he thinks, yeah, that's the image I need to project, and continues with it.  The lies are obvious and he must be real dumb, because he's just so bad at it and appears not to realize it.

Examples:

- 'My date said she hated animals, so I left'.  This one was thought up in advance.

- 'I gave out unicorn figurines to people as a child'.  Just came up with it on the spot during a conversation about unicorns and angels

- The whole 'Navy Guy' thing.  He was in the Reserves, and never set foot on a boat.

- 'The neighborhood kids got me with squirt guns, so my mom doused them with a bucket of water'.  On the spot.

- 'I love animals, everyone should.  It's ok if you can't care for a pet, but you should love animals'.  Thought up as a way to polish his image.

- 'I don't believe in coincidences'.   This one he must have heard somewhere and decided to adopt it.

- 'I was basically born to do this show' or similar comments.  Image.

- The don't like clowns thing.  Heard somewhere and adopted.

- The whole 'Caring about people' thing.  Image.  Subcategories:
      - 'help people when you can'
      - I'm here for you on holidays
      - Maritza
      - Donating book proceeds
      - Mish, Katherine, etc are on the show to help you (not to scare you)

- 'We've taken the show in a whole new direction'.   Image.

- 'The show is growing'.  Image.

- I'm going to run for president'.  On the spot.

- I'm going to work on my knuckleball and try out for the St Louis Cardinals'.  On the spot.


     
     
I'm  sure we can all think of more.  Just reinforcing the point this guy is about as phony as possible.  Can't help but wonder what he is hiding...  One could argue some of it is said in jest, except in all these years he has displayed no sense of humor whatsoever.  Zero.



Disclaimer:  the above, as well as other of my commentary, is my opinion only, and is based on what I've gleaned from listening to his show...

GEORGE NOORY SUCKS btw

I spent most of my life in northern Vermont.  Halloween takes on a different atmosphere in NE.  That reminds me, George Noory Sucks.

[Marc.Knight]

Interesting analysis PB

That is a really good point. I agree I have never noticed noory exhibiting a sense of humor on any level. He has his fake feigned laugh...that makes my skin crawl. That is why this fraud of a man is so pathetic. He can't even laugh at himself.

When a caller or guest says something obviously meant as a joke, or to be funny, George never just starts to chuckle or laugh - he is quiet for a moment, waiting for the guest or caller to laugh, then sure it is something meant to be funny, only then will he jump in with a phony sounding laugh.

And from time to time telling stories meant to be funny - they never are, they just make him sound pathetic.

God he sucks.

Maybe a few courses in Broadcasting.  After some courses in Journalism, after some courses in Science, after some courses in Geography, after a few courses in Public Speaking.  Oh, never mind.

Noory's idea of jokes are at the expense of his callers, making fun of a stammerer, or 'you just missed out on winning a prize'.
Sometimes he'll fumble through a bad read of a tired old joke.
Could be that the grisly child tragedies tickle his funny bone.
One good joke was his PRG award from Stephen Bassett.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.    I love it.   

Seriously..."fraud of a man" covers it quite nicely. Out of all the radio "personalities" (they used to be referred to as "Talent") out there today, noory is the most enigmatic. Why? Because he has no personality. At least not a real one. It may even be deeper than this though. He may even be posing as...a human being (I know...."Gee, ya think?").

George Noory sucks grunt-gravy.


Ph and hey...Smoky, good to see you!

Don't you hate it when he pretends to be a caller on hold, and talks to the current caller?  Like this is in any way funny. 

The other weirdness is asking people their age out of the blue.  I've heard guests take his head off for that, but to no avail.  He said to one guest:  "You're really getting up there...how old are you anyway?"  Numbnuts.

The was a great post back there  P*b....I concur 110%...agree 117% and I love the way you put it all into words.

As far as George taking classes. Forget about it. George cannot learn things like that. He cannot be bothered with such boring tedium. He has corporate legs to hump and important guests/callers to dump. Besides that, he  simply isn't wired for learning such things. George is more of a mimic, and a poor one at that.

The guy's a real laff riot, the real George shines through.

I think he's bored to hell with the show and needs to bond with the callers.  Truck driver?  Where ya driving, what road are you on, how much is gas there?

That's cause he serious gangsta.



(Yes, MSPaint.  )

[Marc.Knight]

His interviews have become tediously formulaic.  What led you up to this?  How many years have to been interested in this? Etc.

[moop]

I've enjoyed this thread and even learned a few things too, like how George likes to eat babies.

Snoory's (non)sense of humor...

Caller: Hi, I'm a little nervous.

Noory: That's a funny name.

Caller: What?

Noory: You have a funny name.

Caller: Umm, ok

Yes. Yes. Yes.

A week ago last Friday night I was driving home and heard him try that 'you just missed out on winning a prize' routine. OMG he is such a piece of shit. 'You just won six-thousand books (it was either three or six thousand I don't recall which)...but you waited too long to claim your prize so I can't give 'em too ya. Ha ha ha. I'm sooory.'

What was sick and weird about it was the caller really didn't seem to know or care WTF George was even talking about and continued to just try and tell his story. WTF kind of radio is this? It's beyond suckage and beyond feeling embarrassed for the butthole as he fumbles and faux pas through the night...night after night.

It's like tripping on acid tainted with strychnine. Reality grinds it's gears while you grind your teeth. Coast has reached the tripping point

But I can't help but wonder when the tipping point will come? I wonder when it will just become too stupid and embarrassing or an exercise in diminishing returns to be on the show or even associated with it?

Hi Moop. Well said...

[Marc.Knight]

I heard the 6000 book thing too.  Really strange.  Noory didn't give a crap what the caller was saying.  The tipping point was when he first opened his mouth in front of a C2C microphone.  I know, change would be excellent.  Any change.

He reminds me of the worst of out-sourced tech support - where the person you get on the other end of the hone just keeps on reading from those 3 x 5 cards NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY.

Gumby I heard that call, Noory sounded like a 6 yr old teasing his little brother who he'd like to punch in the stomach, but mom and the audience is listening, so he can't get away with it and pulls this crap. 

So if he perceives a caller as being somehow weaker than himself he goes after them with this drek?  Sure seems that way, with an old lady, or a stutterer,  .... 

[MABUSE]

Damn!  Surgically precise!
Once, just for the hell of it, I "created" a Noory interview by the simple method of having sampled his standard responses like "Amazing" "Incredible" "2012" "New World Order" etc. etc. etc. and then randomly inserted them into OTHER interviews (Like Nixon-Frost).  The result was virtually impossible to tell from a real Nuri piece.  THAT should tell you something right there. 
I am off to work friends, try and catch up with you later!

(Oh, here is the original "C2C Noory Asshat" graphic for any and all to use as they see fit.  Consider it my special 'book prize' to the caller)

That's George. He is scary. I would imagine if you have to work for him, or he has some level of control over you, you get the Full Noory Effect...

I always hope that someday someone who has either worked under George or with George will come forth and relate their experiences with the hideous vile ogre.

This is probably what to expect when George's shoe-polished hair finally starts thinning...

Premrad might want to run with that idea, if they went with a call center service in Delhi at least we'd have a host that can speak English.

[moop]

It was probably a few weeks ago when a lady called in and the first thing she said was " I have a problem with something you said last night" George said "oh your phone just cut out! The sun is causing all kinds of problems with the phones these days" Next caller...

What an ass he is.

What irks me the most is how almost every caller starts with how wonderful george is and how they love him and he has changed their life. Does the screener make them say that crap or what?
