George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Juan Cena]

Agreed, an excellent observation.  If nothing else, just think of the cool bumpers we might hear.

Knapp might even manage to find music from that 60's band that supposedly named themselves after Lovecraft.

[Major Ed Damien]

George correctly identified H.P. Lovecraft as dead.

[zeebo]

Jeez you think George could have prepared by at least reading some dime-store comic book adaptation of a Lovecraft story.  Instead he just picked out another Archie's.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

I think George is already running out of questions. GN doesn't know what a followup question is.

Larry King thinks George doesn't prepare enough.

[zeebo]

Typical Noory show.  It's ostensibly about HP Lovecraft, but before the first break, we're already mired in the legalities of a Sherlock Holmes lawsuit.

[Major Ed Damien]

Somewhere in the universe, H.P. Lovecraft is spinning end-over-end, a sour look on his face, and telling the stars:  "Stomach cancer wasn't as painful as listening to that Noorganism."

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Ah good old Kiplinger. Thanks GN.

Somewhere in the universe, H.P. Lovecraft is spinning end-over-end, a sour look on his face...

Well, now he has Kipling spinning with him.

[zeebo]

And now we're onto Dracula.  I guess HP Lovecraft and AC Doyle together don't warrant more than about thirty minutes airtime.  Let's move along to Bram Stoker.  Oh, and now about Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. At this rate we'll be on to Stephen King in about 10 mins.

[Major Ed Damien]

"Holmes, I dare say this Noory fellow is an illiterate boob."

"Elementary, my dear Watson.  In fact, I believe this species of child-like intelligence is described in America as 'elementary school-level.'"

I'm waiting...dearly waiting...for the guest to ask Jorch what he's read, then watch him dance around the topic.

He learned to read that one the hard way.

Another cool guest, totally wasted on Noory:

"So who's your fave author?"

"Tolkien."

"So how's publishing changed since then?"

[Major Ed Damien]

George only knows DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN from the movies.

It's obvious he somehow got turned off to reading very early on.

And in the words of Mark Twain: 

"Like a cat that has sat on a hot stove, he doesn't even want to sit on a cold one."

This guest will walk away from the Noory interview, frantically calling all his friends to see if they have a spare tab of LSD they wouldn't mind parting with for old time's sake.

I hate it when squirrels are sad.

[zeebo]

Cool that a caller mentioned Robert E. Howard.  Surprisingly, Noory missed it. 

[zeebo]

Noory gets a free pizza roll if he mentions Jules Verne.

[Major Ed Damien]

George:  "When you started writing on these people . . . "

That's right, George.  He wrote all over these "people" with a Sharpie.



George:  "Did Dickens come out before Sherlock Holmes?"

Klinger:  "Not that long before . . .  about 20 years."

George:  "Well, that's not bad."

It happens.  We move on.  We hope for a Knapp show.

[zeebo]

He just asked:  "How do you like writing?"

[Juan Cena]

It happens.  We move on.  We hope for a Knapp show.

If Knapp would agree to the idea, would you support a Kickstarter campaign for a daily Knapp show?

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

He has a day job.  I doubt it would be something he would consider.

Logging in for the rebroadcast, just in time for Jessie "just like a wrestling interview" Ventura. Jessie "as controversy as it was" he and the g-man are made for each other.

[yoego]

In convo w/ George, Jessie asked "what word do they use"... wrong guy to ask. George has the vocabulary of a matchbook cover, on a good day.

[yoego]

Haha, Jessie say's he's a "gwop" in Mexico, a gringo without papers. They had a good "legalize weed" convo.Jessie should host c2c!

Yoego, pulling the late shift, eh?  The first two hours were utterly forgettable, and the second had such potential yet were mostly wasted by typical Noory unpreparedness/mishandling.  Still the guest was interesting enough that some worthwhile details slip through, and a few questions are so dorky that they're entertaining, for all the wrong reasons of course.  Enjoy.

Excellent overview.

He just asked:  "How do you like writing?"

What the hell??? You leave us hanging like that?  I think we all need to know the answer to that profound question.


The silence on the line would have been hilarious if the guest turned the tables and asked the Noron how he liked writing (particularly when we all know that the only writing he does is signing his name to books that others write...)
