The new c2cam website schedule for this weekend and next week indicates we get a 3-day Noory Free weekend.
But instead of Noory taking off Friday, this time he is taking off Monday...

Hopefully a job interview.

This is from August 2007.. I still think the problem was that MISS TEEN USA was listening too much to Noory's ten minute news intro nightly

I had the same problem with these Youtube links and then figured out it was because for some reason I was getting "https" urls as opposed to plain "http".  Don't know what the purpose of encrypting a youtube link would be but anyway if you drop the "s" in the url it should work.

Last night's interview with Jesse Ventura reminded me of those staged train wrecks that were popular in the 1930s.  When Jesse responded to the allegation that he belonged to a white supremacist club, he said that being a biker is a lifestyle and race is irrelevant. A minute later he said The Mongols was founded because the Hell's Angels didn't allow Mexicans to join.  Later, he mentioned getting ready to go back off the grid for awhile to escape the drones that are spying on him.  What the heck is the point of going off the grid if you're going to periodically pop back on to give interviews?  That makes no sense whatsoever.

George's big face palm moment came when Jesse was complaining about being harassed for some reason and George suddenly asked him out of the clear blue if he ever met Vince McMahon.  Um, yeah, because Jesse only worked for him for about fifteen years.  And his response to the "Run, Jesse, Run" guy (who seemed to be channeling the deranged spirit of Wild Man Fischer) was downright surreal.  It sounded like he was giving serious consideration to recruiting submerged artists to form a backup band so he could perform on the campaign trail if Jesse runs for president.  And how he got from there to ZZ Top can only be an indication that his synapses were shorting out and just making random connections.  Unbeleefable.

The Governor's stories about the effects of coumadin gave me the shivers. A cardiologist tried to put me on the stuff (it's rat poison, basically) and I refused it. Glad now.

Jesse to Jorch: "well, if you were in the real Navy, George..." Classic.

You can tell George is pissed after a comment like that when he changes the subject or goes to commercial without saying some mindless thing like "well, that's exactly right" or "that's true too."  He was pretty quick to bypass that comment last night.  Then again he's constantly jumping around without any sort of flow so maybe I misrepresent.

Almost forgot about when GN asked Jesse if pro wrestling is fake and if the winners are predetermined.  I was surprised Jesse actually indulged him by answering him seriously instead of making a snide remark about his unfathomable ignorance.  Maybe Jesse's getting desperate for air time and didn't want to antagonize George for fear of not being invited back.

I couldn't believe the interview sunk to that level after George couldn't come up with anymore questions or comments about the lawsuit he wasn't going to talk about.  George sounded like a ten year old "You don't really punch each other do you?  It's all fake right?"  And surprisingly, like you say, Ventura induldged him.  When George concluded by saying "People just tuning in are saying 'what the heck are they doing, talking about wrestling?'" I'm pretty sure Jesse was thinking the same thing.  But the part I'm posting about is when Ventura said Pro Wrestling should be an Olympic sport because it's a performance like figure skating.  That's wrong on so many levels.

I couldn't decide if he was serious about adding pro wrestling to the Olympics or if he was just yanking George's chain.  It's hard to tell with him sometimes.  Of course, you could almost hear the marbles rattling as George nodded vigorously and went right along with the idea.

That's true.  I guess it's kind of reminiscent of the banter Ventura and Vince McMahon would have back and forth, but McMahon was a better straight man.

Absolutely!  I occasionally watched the WWF back then and Jesse's comments always cracked me up.  I read that he was pro wrestling's first "heel" commentator, and he was definitely very good at it.  Always loved his garish outfits and crazy shades, too.  Too bad he's slid off the rails, because it sounds like he was a pretty good governor, and he seemed to have a lot of common sense and practical ideas for improving his state.

Yeah, it was sort of hard to tell. My impression was, and is, from any wrestlers I've seen interviewed is that although outcome is "fake" the actual matches are very real, even though punches are pulled, their bodies take a real beating. And sometimes, especially in pre-WWF consolidation days things went "off script." I was thinking his point was saying that the moves and choreography is just as athletic and artistic as some of those more nebulous Olympic sports where judges determine based on style, etc because there is no "winner" clearly determined by play unlike most sports.

I miss the old wrasslin' which as Jesse pointed out was very stereotypical and often ethnically based. I see it on tv these days occasionally and I'm shocked. Men beating up women, and story-lines more like domestic disputes, etc. And there is not good/evil as much. Certainly they have been successful with the packaging, fireworks, and presentation but give me the old AWA, NWA, etc any day.

There's no question that pro wrestlers are tremendous athletes, and the punishment their bodies take is mind boggling.  After Dennis Rodman appeared in a couple of matches several years ago, he said he was so sore he could barely move for a couple of days, and he was in tremendous physical condition at the time.  It's truly amazing how many of them keep going into their forties and fifties.

That's how roller derby used to be too. I remember my grandma and mom taking us to matches when we were little kids, and there was this guy who would come out with a cane and beat the crap out of the women.  Bizarre family entertainment back then.

You were very wise to avoid that poison coumadin.
My dad was put on it for years and it eventually caused calcification of a heart valve.
He had to get a replacement heart valve operation at age 92 and unfortunately passed away 6 months after that due to complications from a stroke when they did a patch operation procedure on the heart valve.
There have been apparently alternatives to coumadin for many years, so avoid it if possible due to the longterm side effects.

No medicine is without risk.

Yes coumadin does cause calcification to heart valves.

Sometimes, well most if not all the time, medicines are a choice between two evils... the disease process or side effects.

In the case of an anticoagulant, I would rather risk calcification than a stroke or a pulmonary embolism. And those two conditions are quite common with a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.

I am not sure what diagnoses were given, but choosing not to take a medication due to the medication having other alternative uses, might be a bit short sighted. Or not, everyone gets to choose the ride they take.

Yep as for Noory's detachment it's hard to tell if it's intentional or from disinterest or sheer cluelessness.

I think last night he was getting a little mad at Jesse because he wouldn't agree with Jorch on every single subject and that "real Navy" comment hit home. Like him or not, Jesse didn't just do the C2C guest deal where you agree with whatever inanity Norry says and tow-the-lie with the questionable political opinions George states as facts.

[yumyumtree]

I wonder if it's possible that Jesse took steroids during his wrestling days and it had long term effects on his personality and thought processes. I'm going out on a limb, just guessing. I don't even know if steroids can have permanent effects, much less if he used them. But I know that some pro football players died relatively young of heart disease, etc. and that was rumored to be the reason. There was also a high profile murder in our area where Roid rage was a factor. Maybe the guy was still tsking them, though.

Maybe it's like marijuana and alcohol--some people get lucky and don't have permanent long term effects, but others don't.

Clown dolls and possessed mirrors on deck tonight. Woo-hoo.
