George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[HorrorReporter]

Tonight I could actually picture George beating his hairy chest as he said with his usual arrogance that C2C is so successful because he listens to what others are saying and doesn't interrupt. :

he doesnt interrupt bc he doesnt pay attention

[Quinn]

he doesnt interrupt bc he doesnt pay attention

Unless there's some way he can use what the guest said to talk about himself.

[valdez]

i am revolted by the Noory era, each night gets worse.. tonight a relatively interesting guest, Frank De Marco sounded confused and frustrated with Noory's odd on air behavior

    FranK De Marco sounded a lot like Hoagland, and I didn't catch the part where he explained the "guys upstairs" concept, and since George never bothers to summarize stuff (Ian does it periodically throughout a show-thank you, Ian) I never really caught on.  I did like the way De Marco didn't let George get away with lazy questions and statements, and, when George gave an example of synchronicity, De Marco pointed out that it wasn't.  I think, based upon the number of times he said, "that's a good point too",  that George was lost.

   A number of you guys alluded to this ad,  and I hadn't seen it until this morning.  Unbelievable.  Un-friggin'-believable.

[Treading Water]

Oooooooooo, makes me want to loosen up my Adblock settings......................

Ummmm, errrrrrrr, ahhhhhhhh....................Nope, never mind.

[HorrorReporter]

He looks like Groucho Marx

[Roger]

Do you guys remember when they dug GN up out of that hole in Iraq? Then
he got hung? C'MON! Now look at 'im! He's healthier than ever! You GOTTA
buy that product! How hard can it be to . . just . . dial . . the
number! Place yer order! Place yer order now! Doesn't matter how bad
you've been, or how dead you've been! You can still be all you can be
and you can also store up foods like he did in that hole! E-food direct!
and be immortal too! Don't worry about tomorrow and also worry about
tomorrow right now! Both! Have no fear and feel all the fear in the world
right now! Both! Now, who wants to see SCREEM XXIV with George!

Er, wait: that IS a Ren and Stimpy cartoon. Or was it Square-Bob Sponge-pants
5: The Horror.

[Roger]

Please place question marks (?) where appropriate.

PS: why are we talking about yesterdays trash? It's already at the dump.

[Coasted2astop]

Thanks for taking that screen cap, bmd88. The ad is long gone now. I thought it was my ad block but turn that off and still can't see it ..

Nevermind..still there. See it in Opera. Thanks anyway. Nothing gets past you guys. I can't listen anymore..to him anyway.

I have to imagine the folks at the c2c office were a little squeamish with these photos.

It also can pass as a rogaine ad

I wonder of he takes off the toup to exercise

I can't imagine anyone saw them..that mattered.

Rogaine works.  AARP, Geritol, Fruit-Of-the-Loom Tees, Lady Clairol all decent campaign options for this

Old Spice, Ageless Male, Help-I-Cant-Get-Up necklace, shamanistic beads and all depilatories...

They had a new website which was pretty goodlooking.  Then they added a banner ad right at the top, which was so defacing I emailed Lex and complained.  Then they added a second under the title and a third block to the right.  SO GET READY FOR THIS:  The front page will be six ads and six pictures of George.  The content will be in the footer. 

And George will end up not being able to make any personal appearances because of 1) the gut and 2)obvious toupee being so very yankable.  Wait- maybe that already happened...

I liked the new site too..the old one was getting stale,anyway. But I like green.. I don't think Noory was a fixture in the header at first either, during Lex's beta stage. He's not in mine either as I even adblocked the image on the left too. All black up there..why it took my third browser to find the ads, lol.

Makes you wonder what exactly is the C2C moneymaker? Is it the website with all the flashy ads? Or the fan's favorite radio show supreme, hosted by the great one-and-only. .? Or none of these; the show is dying.

I took a couple years off and have listened recently and it is different, completely from what Art did, and not the same as he did either. Basically the show now is one big ad from what I can tell. Maybe it always was, even with Bell, but we didn't notice. Now, it is very obvious.

[fysisist]

... and I seriously doubt it's his massive chest. The man is shameless hack.

The only thing that is gonna get bigger is that obnoxious mustache.

[JustOneFix]

It's my belief between the ad heavy website and what I assume to be guests buying time on C2C, shows the real story.

That story is:

Noron has ran the show into the ground and they are grasping at straws to keep it afloat. Perhaps they need to have all those ads on the home page to raise capital so they can pay the callers. Whatever the real story is, C2C is in a world of shit and Premiere is doing everything they can to keep that under wraps.

I'm on another Coast forum where one of our members called in a couple of weeks ago and IMMEDIATELY got on.  She was so shocked she posted, "What should I say??"  I resisted the temptation to suggest she ask why they have so few callers anymore.

I simple must comment about Noory saying he doesn't interrupt. DOESN'T INTERRUPT?  Oh, please--  What about

...that's my birthday!

...my aunt used to live near there and I visited her many times!

...you know I went to dental school

...the alien grabbed your right foot?  I HAVE A RIGHT FOOT TOO!  Always have.  Since I was a little boy out on the deck looking at the stars through my telescrope.  You know, that telescrope was the beginning.....

and he hijacks the conversation!!!!!!  Takes it completely in another direction.  If I've heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times--haven't you?

Yes, absolutely.  And very often if not usually, he talks right over the guest because he can't wait to get his inane and generally pointless comments in.  He's one of those people that you meet at a party or some social event, doesn't listen to what you are saying, wants to one-up you on every point, and loves to name-drop.  In other words, in every conversation he engages in, it's all about him. 

[HorrorReporter]

"I don't interrupt callers"

[b_dubb]

i believe that if i am insincere enough and unprofessional enough and a sufficiently big kissass ... that a giant wave of cash will roll up to my front door and ask if it can deposit itself in my bank account.  so to that effect i'd like to urge you all to work at home while you eat e-foods direct and listen to my shitty radio show on a c-crane radio

signed ... george 'fake fuck' noory

also ... noory sucks

[George49]

I am looking forward to the day when George Slurry is replaced. What is he doing on the air still anyway? He is a self-absorbed, overpaid pencil pushin peddler..such as his work at home schemes, P90x program.  Coast to Coast needs a fresh, committed guy behind the mic instead of this superficial clown who chooses the same boring, tired topics.  The thing about Noory is even if you see the C2C schedule and it looks remotely interesting Noory finds away to make it boring for the audience.  This guy only cares about himself and his image more than making the show high quality.

[fysisist]

Let's face it, C2C with GN is geared to the mentality of your average 12 yr. old.  The retard Noory has found his place ala the Peter Principle.  He has risen to his level of incompetence. The show is not even a parody of its former self.  I only listen to it now to scoff and berate. 

[Roger]

At least twice that guest last night
did a pretty fair job of brush-off gn's pat 'fill-in-dead-air-time-here'
formulaic rejoinders.  That guy was fairly agile.
At one point the idiotic gn got a pointed rebuke, near the end of the
show, where the guest simply said what gn had said was - - in effect
- - idiotic or rediculous!

I don't know what the guy was talking about, but for those rejoinders
to gn he deserves some props.

Speaking of desperate attempts to rake in more dough, "Talking to the Dead," the new book George claims to have written with Rosemary Ellen Guiley is already available for pre-order at Amazon, even though its publish date is not until October.

Check out the cover. GEORGE NOORY in huge caps.  Down below in smaller print, Rosemary Ellen Guiley.

Has anyone heard George talk about how hard he's been working on this book? I've heard him mention it was in the works, but never in the self-sacrificing way that is his wont any time he can say he's serving the Coast audience.

It should of been titled  "Talking to the BRAIN Dead".  I'm sure thats how most of his guests feel after one of his interviews.
Will he never go away.
Maybe if its a bestseller he will write a sequel and conduct the interviews in person.

     A "split show" is what I think he calls it.  Peter Ward in the first half talking about life and space.  He thinks we should skip Mars as a destination and send folks to Titan, the Saturn moon.  I love it.  Recently, Neil Armstong wrote a letter (along with James Lovell and Eugene Cernan) criticizing the President's plans for NASA, calling it "devastating".  It got little attention.  Nurse Joyce Riley on the horrors inflicked on our soldiers by the government, and to hear her tell it you'd think the VA administration was being run by Joseph Mengele.

[HorrorReporter]

During the 'split show'
Peter Ward explained how sea levels rose 15 feet before in the past

George: That's not bad, is it?
'at that time they didn't have the airports!'

Ugh...

Ugggh, I could have gone my whole life without seeing this.

Use P90X for all your saggy armpit needs.

[JustOneFix]

I'm not sure why they even used Noron's photo. He's not 'ripped' or anything. He looks alot like the guy that cleans the driver's lounge at your local Flying J truck stop.

Add this gem to the list:  Ocean level rising?  George asks "What about our drinking water?"  Peter paused since the question suggests that George thinks our drinking water comes from the ocean?  So he replies, "We don't have many desalinization plants now, George..."  Instead of clarifying his question, George just asks another one.  He asks the guest invited to speak on mass extinctions to explain how matter came into existence without intelligent design.  He pressed and pressed, trying to get the scientist to admit First Cause.  This is the reason they cannot get decent guests any more on Coast. They come prepared to discuss their area of expertise and George hijacks the thread into a religious discussion. 

Please note that George ended that discussion with a critical generalization condemning most scientists as being fixed in their opinions and rigid.  By this time, as a listener, I was angry and rigid. Peter handled it very well, although his subsequent fawning was off-putting. 

He suggested that George himself was the most accurate source of scientific information "putting everything together in one place."  He said that listeners could come to Coast and here all sides and find shows with the experts on both sides of any question.  I felt like he must have been coached during the break.  George followed up with "just come to the site and search in the archives for the subject you are interested in.  It's all there."

My sweet behind it's "all there."

Anagrammy

Why doesn't he clarify questions so the audience can feel satisfied?  I don't think he can tell when a subject has been exhausted.  He doesn't have a feel for the natural flow of conversation and cannot speak naturally without a script.  George has kept this entire forum going with the non sequiters

I thought I was going to have some kind of attack when the guest referred to George as the end-all be-all source of reference. These guests are apparently hand-picked to know nothing of Noory except what they've been fed by the producers.

Points go to Noory, though, for adroitly redirecting the caller elsewhere than himself for information of any type whatsoever.
