George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

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 thought they had stopped running that commercial after we complained about it last time.  I guess not.

[WildCard]

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

Excellent. I don't envy your position. We want to believe.

I hope the debate happens but, if Bara weasels out, you win by default.

Is there a link to a download/listen?

It's replaying right now on DM. Stuart Robbins NOW.

It was last night's "Fade to Black". wr250 will upload it.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

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.

"conceivedinmotelroom.com"  Sleep where God created a new life!  There might even be some of his magical ingredients left in the sheets which will imbue the new occupant with untold life-giving energies (or Syphilis).

Thanks.  I think that in a REASONABLE conversation, it all comes down to what threshold you have for the level of evidnece.  With Mike, if he's cornered, he just insults you. It seemed like Jimmy wasn't too keen on the debate idea, though, but I felt the need to explain what had gone on.

I never knew my father, and mom always claimed he'd been killed in Korea (in a car accident, not the war).  Then, right before she died, she finally admitted that he was a Motel 6 bedspread from somewhere around Lubbock.  If I'm ever down there, I may look him up and beat the stuffing out of him.

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.

Yep, you won`t see Zimmy for awhile.

...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.

If Jorch wants someone to buy into pretty much any random theory why doesn't he just bring Hoagie back?

[zeebo]

....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....

Yes I totally picked up on that.  He was pretty good at it too. 

There should be an alternative to Twit of the Week, called Champ of the Week - someone who can navigate diplomatically and intellectually all of George's interviewing errata.

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

At one point after Zimmerman said something, Jorch exclaimed like an excited little kid, "Isn't science great?"   :

[expat]

That'd be a shame. I thought he was great -- best guest for ages.

[Morgus]

At one point after Zimmerman said something, Jorch exclaimed like an excited little kid, "Isn't science great?"   :

Noory learned all his extensive science knowledge from watching the 60's TV show "Mr. Wizard" as a kid. 

[zeebo]

... "Isn't science great?" 

Maybe George can commission a new work from Ufo Phil:  "Hooray for Science!".

[ItsOver]

Noory learned all his extensive science knowledge from watching the 60's TV show "Mr. Wizard" as a kid. 

Hahaha.  I thought it was from watching "Soupy Sales" and your namesake "Morgus." )  Jorch just gets physics. Jorch = Suckage to the power of infinity.

Noory's Arecibo message that will be beamed into space is up for us all to vomit to. The thought of this guy representing humanity is like something straight out of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Or maybe it'll bring them in,  for our radio crimes.

Actually that was pretty good (apart from Noory's implied suggestion that these signals travel instantaneously).  Did he come up with that himself?

That is how babies are made right?

Well, Michael Jackson's son, Blanket, seems to have been named for his biological father.

That's hilarious!  It reminds me of this--

Right after a stroll thru the cabbage patch.  Right Jorch?  Jorch gets biology.

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

It really is pathetic. Only the paranoid and superstitious would bother with that. And they pay? They must be giving away ad time on Coast these days.

He should have stuck with 'How are Yeeewwww?'

"From the City of Angels, on the Planet of Earth ... Hello, how are yeeeewww and good evening, whatever star system you're in.  Here's what's happeneen here in our local solar system .... A new report out today on salt...."

They'll be so bored they'll just "switch off the station" like so many others.

You have to wonder how many people even think about that when they're buying a house.  It seems like they're starting with a minuscule market niche, and are using ham-fisted scare tactics to try to drum up more business.  Hard to believe they'll be around very long.

I commented on this when they first started running these, probably about 2 weeks ago. I consider it an example of modern Americans squeamishness about death, and somebody capitalizing on it. People need to grow up. My hunch is that if your dwelling is more than 50 years old, the chances are pretty good that somebody died there, especially if you count the entire premises, the outbuildings and so forth. If your dwelling is more than 100 years old( I'm thinking if some places on the historic homes tours in Everett and Snohomish) the chances are very good of at least one birth and one death. Modern people have become so detached from this stuff--that's what's unhealthy.

I first heard it the other night and it cracked me up, especially the warning about how buying a house without knowing somebody had died there could cost you thousands of dollars.  I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how that could happen unless you bought the house as is with a bloody mess from a recent suicide, and you had to pay professionals to clean it up.

Maybe they think the popularity of the ridiculous ghostbuster shows has created a market for their dubious services, but even if that's true, it's unlikely that the demographic that watches those shows will ever be able to afford the sign up fee, let alone buy a house.  We're talking the Jerry Springer, Honey Boo Boo, morbidly obese nightmares from MV's pantheon of grotesque avatars cruising Wal-Mart in their scooter chairs demographic.  You can only get rich off those people by selling them empty fat and sodium-rich calories and diet soda.  Anything else is a fool's errand.
