George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Jorch Einstein]

Darn tootin'.   If he were just a mediocre host that would be one thing.  Taking advantage of his audience's ignorance, passing off hokum as 'education,' not knowing when to step down, and making harmful judgement about what he says and broadcasts is another.

Heh heh. Remember when he said he thought Coast listeners should be given some kind of "degree" for all the knowledge they acquire by listening to the show? Yeah, a degree in moronic bullshit.

We should give gn a degree . . . the 3rd degree for all the falsehoods he's spewed over the years!

[Morgus]

Being a 'nice guy' would include actually listening to a caller or guest.  It' rude to guests and listeners to not prepare for a show.  A nice guy wouldn't delight in searching the internet for stories of dead and injured kids and animals.  Etc, etc

George would rather do things for show, like pay for Falkies glasses and talk about setting up charities than actually be a good guy

Sometimes Noory offers old books for free to callers (that he received for free from guests) if they answer a trivia question correctly...

Or worse if they sing. Recall that night of suckage that featured a contest of callers singing of Auld Lang Syne. Riveting radio.

[nextgen.fm]

That's a skill?

I hate asshole DJ's who think it's clever to yap over start of the tune until the lyrics start.  Always the most insipid of drivel, in their cool radio guy voice.  We have one station here that does it with  Every.  Single.  Song.   There are times in the middle of the tunes where there are no lyrics, why not start talking during that too?

If George isn't doing that with the bumpers yet, then that would be an easy way for him to suck more

i've heard Art do it, but it sounded good

He probably got that idea from Rush.

Call him Caitlin.  The newest member of Paranormal Date.

Whichever country where he's not fAcing fraud charges?

the second guest might be interesting but hey I've been let down before

[Juan Cena]

the second guest might be interesting but hey I've been let down before

We're stuck with political stuff on the "non-political" Coast is Toast till then.

[akwilly]

I don't have the radio on becouse if I wanted that kinda news i'd freakin watch cnn. c2c can't seem to do enough politics and natural medicine shows

[akwilly]

speaking of politics that David Politis should run for office. Man that guy can go on and on without really answering a question

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

the second guest might be interesting but hey I've been let down before

George switched it up tonight and will only have the first guest for the first hour, like it used to be.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

George is onto his old worn out questions about police shootings and the power grid, whatever those two things have to do with the original topic.

[Dateline]

I heard all of this on Friday, while they were voting on the bills, on Rush and Hannity as I was traveling for work.  Rinse, repeat and turn off the radio.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

"A lot of people are saying 'how did Spieberg come up with the name Jurassic?'"

Yeah, this isn't going to be a total waste of three hours.

[akwilly]

"A lot of people are saying 'how did Spieberg come up with the name Jurassic?'"

Yeah, this isn't going to be a total waste of three hours.

Ok now I'm going have to turn the radio back on

[Morgus]

"A lot of people are saying 'how did Spieberg come up with the name Jurassic?'"

Yeah, this isn't going to be a total waste of three hours.

Noory apparently isn't even aware that Jurassic Park was a book before the movie...

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I'm glad this guy is bitch slapping Noory with knowledge.  I wish I thought some of it would sink in.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

I'm glad this guy is bitch slapping Noory with knowledge.  I wish I thought some of it would sink in.

I like how Peter Ward sets George up for the bitch slap with "It's just like you said before George...You were right George when you said..."

[UFQuack]

Check the photoshop thread.

It's Jor-ass-ic!

[Corona Kitty]

Did i miss another classic coast to coast am?

[Izintit?]

Books are anathema to George so that is not surprising.

[NoMoreNoory]

"A lot of people are saying 'how did Spieberg come up with the name Jurassic?'"

Yeah, this isn't going to be a total waste of three hours.

Did he actually say that?!!

Jorch's fumbling was in peak form last night. Actual science seems to cause him to dig deep into his stack of 2nd grade index cards. Worst of the night was his classhic way of asking "How did life come to rely on oxygen?"

"How did we become oxygen...livers?" 

Yes, he said "livers". As in, things that live and breathe. I try, really try, to think that a 65-year-old man, who's the host of a national radio show, can't be this stupid, can't have this poor a grasp of the English language. But night after night, something makes me cringe.

The nature of this show requires an intelligent, inquisitive and skeptical mind. Jorch has all but three of those qualities. And the more I expose myself to it, the sadder I feel when I think of what Art's legacy could've been up to this point. Can you imagine the the moments of the last 10+ years we'd be lauding as true classics instead of this nightly clown show? You know something...I can't imagine it. Because before Art I couldn't have wrapped my mind around a concept like Mel's Hole, or predicted a rogue plane flight into Area 51.

Instead, the faux emperor has no brain, Tommy and the corporate suits enable and enrich, and we laugh and point. Art's return can't come soon enough because I'm not sure I can stand this much longer.

Few shows better illuminate Noory's shortcomings than last night's with guest Peter Ward, a highly credentialed yet down-to-earth multi-discipline scientist.  Noory ruined what could have been a stellar show with nonstop displays of ignorance and butchery of the language. It sounded like a 2nd grader was interviewing the guy.  What a waste.

George adopts that faux second grader tone whenever he talks to serious scientists. It`s his way of,again, being lazy . He doesn`t realize or doesn`t care how condescending it is to listeners. GNS
