George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Marc.Knight]

George is starting to mix in 2 hour long infomercials disguised as his show.  His recent "show" with Dr. Joel Wallach was a classic example with George announcing Dr. Joel Wallach's 800 number every few minutes and directing listeners to the (veterinarian's) web sites.  A new low point.

[Zetaspeak]

Oh great, Steve Quayle is on again tonight. The guest with a preview that always sounds cool but then quickly turns into bible thumbing/political crap.

[albrecht]

Yeah, then Jorch should play Holy Diver and explain to everyone whether or not the line "ride the tiger" is in reference to a book by Julius Evola. Or he could just play Dio's old band Elf, instead.

Speaking of which, not that Norry would've ever heard of him, the stock-photo used by Julius Evola, to me, looks suspiciously like the comedian/actor Sascha Baron Cohen. Actually a show about Evola would be interesting but no way it could be handled by Norry and even other hosts would have some difficulty. The open-line callers would be hilarious though!

I'm a few days behind, because I didn't have time to log in on Sun. or Mon.

But, if anything Wallach was even worse than the last time I heard him.  No wonder Art is distancing himself from coast now.

Again, he was talking so fast that he wasn't enunciating clearly.  Is he on something or is it ill-fitting false teeth? (That's something my mother blamed for a range of problems, when in reality, sometimes the people were probably drunk or something)

Like Marjory Wildcraft, Wallach seems to have these all-or-nothing views.  He tiold George that the reason he didn't die when he went off supplements was that there were residual amounts of supplements in his body.  Did anybody understand what he was trying to say about stove ashes?  And the business of doctors having a life expectancy of 56?  Huh?  This means that for every one who lives to 76, another one has to die at 36.  Either he pulled the figure out of his ass or he's including all people with doctorate degrees, not just MDs.  What's this about moldy bread?  Thrift shops and food banks do not hand out moldy bread, not around here anyway.  Sometimes it may be only 24 hours from molding if you don't use or freeze it, but it won't be moldy when they give it to you, certainly not as moldy as he says. As far as these people in Costa Rica having long life expectancies--maybe they do, though it's the first I've heard of it.  Has it occurred to him that it may be due to other factors?

I turned off last night's guest a little before 11.  I did google him and some kind of Obama-identity theft conspiracy theory comes up.  Maybe it's a different Stephen Sindoni. I always smell a rat when somebody talks about American Indian shamans.  According to the helpful people at NAFPS(new Age Frauds and Plastic Shamans)the term "shaman" is only correctly applied to people in Siberia.  People who apply it to American Indians probably don't know what they're talking about and anybody outside of Siberia who bills themselves as a shaman is bullshitting.

Actually, there isn't anything against charity in practiced objectivism if the motivation and choice is their own and pure.

And RUSH was never a rote adherent to Rand.  (Is anyone ever really?).  They adopted elements to their lives and wrote some music exploring the idea, but it was never their ethos.

Rand is best adopted and understood by applying elements to your life, and a wake up call to your own potential, desires, and motivations.    Attempting to apply strict objectivism is just an autistic circle jerk.  Rand had to be extreme in her views to get her point across and provide an intellectual anchor.

If you need proof of this, read The Passion of Ayn Rand by Barbara Branden or check out the nearest objectivist and see how happy their personal life is.

If you took out the term circle jerk, this would be a good way for Rand-loving political candidates to answer questions from the media.

[yumyumtree]

coast to coast is like the women in my town. they are ugly and terrrible but they are all I've go so I don't complain to much, and Art is like a hottie that just keeps teasing me.

Do you live in Everett?

[Jorch Einstein]

Oh joyous day! Ayn Rand fans now have a presidential candidate in the form of Rand Paul, whose pappy done named him after that famous hyprocrite/objectivist Ayn Rand. Too bad he ain't got a snowball's chance in hell of winning anything. And by the way, his hair looks like an even dumber rug than Jorch's, except that it's real. Fancy that, a guy who styles his hair to look like a rug. I wonder if Rand Paul will pick the Aqua Buddha as his running mate. The colllege years were heady days for Rand Paul, listening to Rush and pontificating about the Aqua Buddha.

I'm not sure if this is your point, but I agree with you that not everything should be political.  For example, I was reading an old ABC News Story today that Scott Baio endorsed Scott Walker and the liberals on the board were mostly all saying "This guy is no longer a celebrity."  Do you really need to bash Scott Baio?

I don't agree with his politics, but I'm aware he is still at least a bit of a celebrity as he had a fair size role on Arrested Development, and, he was very funny on the show.

Of course, I was sadly one of a handful of people who watched that show.

Yes, Arrested Development was one of the few sitcoms I enjoyed before I stopped watching TV. I'm sorry I missed Baio's appearance.

Rand Paul would have to put in some real effort to be a worse President than all the Jackasses before him in the last 100 years.

[yumyumtree]

I must have gone to sleep before Wallach made the comment about GLBT.  But it doesn't surprise me.  Is that "Guests Most Likely to be Mentally Ill" thread handy?

[rzr1911]

Ron Paul>Rand Paul

I'd love Jesse Ventura as President.
Pretty unlikely though that the US public would vote for a guy who'd work for them though.
I love his brown Tigerstripes Camo.

yes but what about ventura/noory tag team for the pres/vice ?

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

yes but what about ventura/noory tag team for the pres/vice ?

Noory already expectantly asked Ventura who he would choose for Vice-President.  When Ventura mentioned another name, Noory clearly felt dejected like a bride who just saw the groom run screaming out of the chapel.

[rzr1911]

yes but what about ventura/noory tag team for the pres/vice ?

Noory agrees with everybody, even if it contradicts what he said 5 minutes ago,
so I'd prefer the Ventura/Howard Stern ticket.
President should at least come with _some_ backbone.

howard contradicts with everybody, even himself from 5 minutes ago.

[Jorch Einstein]

Didn't Jorch say at one time he was thinking of running for president? I was sure hoping he'd throw his wig into the race.

[PaulAtreides]

Why is Snoory called Dave?

[nbirnes]

Didn't Jorch say at one time he was thinking of running for president? I was sure hoping he'd throw his wig into the race.

You do know what he'd do to the bellgabbers if he were president, right? And he knows where you live.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Didn't Jorch say at one time he was thinking of running for president? I was sure hoping he'd throw his wig into the race.

Hence, my name

[nbirnes]

Hence, my name

Yeah, but isn't he supposed to be Lance Davenport in the future?

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Yeah, but isn't he supposed to be Lance Davenport in the future?

In the future, VandelezGab member LoneSingularity sends a quantumly entangled cryptic message to a local interplanetary microwave station middle manager, who then mistakenly identifies Lance Davenport as "Georgie Davenpart," and the name sticks because it's so ridiculous.

[albrecht]

According to the dentist-cum-hypnotherapist Goldberg Norry is going to be a radio host, via holograms, in the future and will be named "Dexter Monterey" (sometimes also spelled "Monterrey.")

It helps to get your coast goggles on before the show, that's what I do.

MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

[Route 66]

I may have been half asleep last night when a caller was describing a camping trip, I think on Mt Shasta, with several Native Americans, who performed a late night ritual.  Suddenly a very bright light  appeared, beneath some rocks.  George blurted out "Ball plasma.  It was ball plasma!"  The guest contradicted him, suggesting that it was more likely a supernatural occurance, but of course George doubled down on "ball plasma," and disconnected the caller. Now I've heard of ball lightning, which is pretty rare and usually happens during a storm.  I've heard of plasma balls, which can be purchased commercially (even owned one once) at a Spenser's type store .  I'll be danged if I've know what "ball plasma" is.....

But, but. The "Lance" was there for a reason. The Lance was the whole damn point.

Dexter Monterrey just sounds sort of sleazy. I have an old photo from the early internets that I want to share. If someone can deep-dig the metadata for a screengrab, the date of the photo might be ascertained. Still, I do think it might be from the future, and this might be Dexter, who is posing as the Real Lance.

I wish someone would throw his wig out of a car

You don't want to know what "ball plasma" is but it might be related to recent guest Preston Nichols with hostess Connie Willis who talked about a guy masturbating and it became a "glowing orb" in addition to other craziness.

I noticed the past week or so that Norry has tried to challenge guests- if they aren't a part of his supplement sideline gig. Doesn't do a good job but seems to be trying. He basically said "prepping," or growing your own food, wouldn't save anyone last week to a guest who was all about growing your own food and survival. And last night insisted, even contrary to the obviously more 'rational' explanation of a supernatural entity, that is was some physical phenomena ("ball plasma"- I think he meant to say ball lightning.) He also insisted that he "hoped" a psychic's prediction wasn't true when she said ISIS would not come here to commit terrorism. Then back-tracked hilariously. He is trying...the hopeful Art return scared him a bit, I think.

Thanks for the reply!

Baio played the supremely competent lawyer Bob Loblaw (pronounced as blah blah blah) in the last season or so of the show. He replaced the supremely incompetent lawyer ("If you aren't aware something is illegal, it isn't a crime.") Barry Zuckerkorn played by Henry Winkler as the Bluth's attorney.

Great show! Although the Netflix-only run wasn't as good, even that had its moments. It was proof you can still have a good tv show on network television, but proof also about the American public, alas. I don't blame them because most programming sucks so bad- why try to watch a new show? Download or rent something, put on MeTV or RetroTV or read a book (or put on U7.) At least it died out before it was stale or bad and was able to be resurrected for another quick run due to some popular support via Netflix.
