George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[NoMoreNoory]

Joorch says people who eat too much salt 'die more'. So get on the low sodium diet now, folks, and die just a little bit.

[yumyumtree]

"Some possible legislators."

The shouting New Yorker is tonight's guest . He'll be shouting into his phone and bringing the doom porn. 

[zeebo]

Did Bob "Don't Call Me Dylan" Zimmerman have any good space news tonite?  I was being bugged during his segment and sometimes he's got interesting items.

Listening to Noory every night is like the proverbial death of a thousand cuts.

Joorch completely flipped off by Zimmerman! He runs his Insulate The Grid campaign by the guest, and Zimmerman just completely thumbed his nose at it. Not at all worried about it, he says. In fact, he goes on, the main mystery with the sun 'today' is its complete lack of activity. The Idiot thought he meant today literally. Zimmerman slightly irritatedly says he means over the last decade. Just dismisses the idea there's likely to be a problem and anyway, he says, when a solar flare caused a power outage in Quebec, it seemed to him the grid coped with it. Joorch was saved by the bumper music, and made no comment on Zimmerman's dismissal of his new pet theory.

Haha oh I'm sorry I missed that.

How glorious was that?     

[UFQuack]

No more fucking money to congress on the grid Jorch!!! That's why everyone pays a GD electric bill! That should already be taken care of through private industry. If the grid goes down, they'll just have to work hard to get it going again just like locals do when a storm takes out your electricity, end of story.

Hearing that would have almost made listening tonight worth the mental drain.

But later on in the show Noory did get Zimmerman to agree they should insulate the grid in case of a terrorist EMP strike however. Noory must have talked him off the air during a break to get him to agree to that...

Also during calls for Zimmerman a lady claimed on a past show he talked about the global warming "hoax"
Now the second half guest however is talking about mass extinction of animals due to the ongoing global warming and Noory isn't disagreeing with him, a flip flop?

Wtf this guy was just starting to explain an interesting genetic experiment at Scripps Institute, and George just cuts him off before commercials, blurting out "Wow amazing - when we get back I wanna talk about <something else>."

I tuned in for a few moments just in time to hear that.  I could not believe that George would not even bother to make the slightest attempt to defend "his" theory and position when it is a cuase that he is sooo passionate about.  Then I recalled that he would never want to challenge a guest on the air for fear that he would look like the buffoon he is.

I returned to the kitchen later to hear George ask a guest if animals that we all love like... elephants and tigers could be in danger of becoming extinct.  Now, I do not claim to be a biologist- but from the age of 5 when I first visited the zoo and my parents read the placard in front of the elephant exhibit I knew the answer to that.  Anyhow, the guest answers and George gasps like it was unbelievable, tragic and he had no clue.  The phoniest reaction and display of concern possible.  Only George would attempt it (probably hoping that his audience has an average IQ of 20 and might buy into this.)

The man is infuriating and I put down the knife, rinsed my hands, walked over to the radio and did what I should have done before going in to make supper- changed the station.

Neorge said something about Jesse Ventura thinking Fidel Castro was a hero...

I know it is a little late- but thanks for the explanation and the answer.

Thanks for noticing - George spends 8 hours of show prep a day working on this kind of foolishness for thuh lissners

One of the many things I love about Jorch.  His sincerity. 

I'll bet Zimmerman will be placed on petty Jorch's "haterz" list after Zimmerman crapped on Jorch's latest pet project.  That was good for a chuckle.

[astroguy]

Stuart Robbins/astroguy is talking about Bara on the Jimmy.
Trying to schedule a debate since the C2C debate never happened.

So ... what'd ya think of my call?

[Yorkshire pud]

Is there a link to a download/listen?

[nooryisawesome]

George should really try to do more open lines.
The declining listnership means he can't get running out the same bullshit day in and day out.

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Did anyone else hear the commercial for this company the other night?  It's like Carfax, except for houses, and they will find out if anyone died in a house you're interested in buying.  Seriously.    

Move over Alex Jones survival seeds, because C2C just hit a new low with this sponsor.

I've heard the "died" commercial several times.  It makes Ty Bollinger seem classy.

Maybe I'm just hopelessly naive and out of touch, but it's hard to believe there's a significant market for that information.  I doubt that the question even crosses the minds of most house hunters.

I wonder if the next one will be drownedinmotelswimmingpools.com.

If you cast your mind back, you tried to get a register set up that listed elevator shafts that people had accidentally walked into when the elevator was between floors. shaftedshafts.net wasn't it?

These are the reasons I have a hard time being a regular listener. They don't even make an effort to hide it. An astute show producer would avoid booking guests who contradict one another on the same show. It would be much more interesting if they put the guests on at the same time to debate one another. A skilled interviewer would be aware when the guest was getting into really interesting material- but we all know we can't expect that from George. These are key elements for good radio, which is not what C2C is about these days. 

[ItsOver]

Premrad should retitle C2C to "Snooring with Snoory."

Actually I think he did ask something like that upon return from the commercial.  I was pretty tired so I might be getting interview segments mixed up.  The funny thing was, I think it was the first question the guest answered without pause.  After most of Noory's other questions, there were long gaps of dead air while the guest tried to process the stupidity or awkward timing of the question (ie/ guest had just addressed it) and then find an answer that didn't make George look bad.

At some point near the end of the interview George made his standard claim "I find science fascinating," but he had clearly been bored throughout the interview, asking pre-written questions without much regard for the answers.
