George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Scully]

I'm listening to George absolutely butcher tonight's interview with the near-death experiencer.  She has a fascinating story -- if only GN would let her tell it.  This is one time I'm listening to get the name of her book, because I really want to know what happened to her, and it ain't gonna happen tonight.

George has just asked her twice if her psychic abilities were enhanced after her NDE.  She had already told him once, so now she's told him 3 times.

Best question so far

GN: "If you had gone to hell, what would that be like?"

Guest:  "Well, I don't know.  I didn't go there."

[Morgus]

yeah noory always has to butt in with his own fractured ideas of hell.
he took over the conversation and steered it toward his own desire for there to be a hell for burning people he chooses to go there.
there is no hell george, other than the one you create on the air... 

[Scully]

So George is "interviewing" some lady with a near death experience and launches into his usual non sequitur style of questioning -- she is as literal as an accountant, so she is offering a lot of short-clipped dull answers, and that is throwing him.  So then he starts blathering about forgiving people who commit horrible acts of violence against loved ones and encourages callers for the guest to share their opinion on the topic!  WTF??  Of course the callers are the usual gang of inarticulates.

That's because she's already realized she's talking to a fool who cuts her off at the most dramatic moments of her story, and never remembers after the breaks what she was talking about. 

[Morgus]

now noory is wasting time telling his life story of his childhood.
its all about him, not the guest's story... 
we get it george, you don't have to keep telling how you always want revenge, with no compassion or forgiveness.
what a sicko

[Gassy Man]

After badgering the guest and callers about hypothetical "what would you do if someone murdered your kids?" bullshit questions, George had the tables turned on him about what he would do if one of his parents beat him -- AND THEN ANSWERED HE COULDN'T ANSWER A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION BECAUSE HE'D NEVER HAD THAT EXPERIENCE!

Un-flipping-believable.  And now he's babbling about severed feet in Canada.

Right, Morgus.  I have also heard him on numerous other occasions brag about his inability to be compassionate with someone who has done him serious wrong.  He seems to really want people to know about that part of him.

Also, Morgus you're my witness that George has just said his father was "a middle-class worker for the Ford Motor Company."  I've often heard others say that his father was a dentist and that George was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.  The story I've heard GN tell is that, for whatever reason, George's father wanted HIM to be a dentist.

noory can't handle having the tables turned on him, but he expects the guests to do it.

[SnapT]

Is this the worst Noory interview ever?  I think it may be.

When he started going on and on about how awesome his still-alive parents were after the guest revealed that her now-dead father abused her all her life, I was reminded of a scene from the movie DUE DATE where Robert Downey Jr reveals that his father walked out on him as a child, and Zach Galafanakis begins laughing insanely, saying something like "MY dad would never do that! He LOVED me!"

thats what i have always heard noory say, his father worked for Ford for decades and would never sell his stock.
His parents wanted him to be a dentist he has said many times.
Noory disappointed his parents when he dropped his pre-med college classes without telling them in advance when he switched to broadcasting classes.
They probably wanted a doctor and a lawyer in the family and tried to plan their children's careers for them?

[Gassy Man]

Bah, I think I am going to bed . . . what a crappy show.

[Morgus]

Noory probably needs to use depends, but won't admit it.
He claimed he threw them out.
Probably sent to him by a listener who heard him complain so often about his prostrate.

More people shit their pants than you think. Being serious here, it happens for various reasons, farting too hard, having to take a big shit and not being able to get to a toilet quickly enough, having a bad case of "The Runs", NO ONE is going to convince me that Snoory hasn't shit his pants at least once while sitting on his ass interviewing a guest. You know he must fart and stink up the studio something fierce.

True story, I once knew a girl who was absolutely GORGEOUS, she had done Penthouse, just hot. She told me a story one time where she was driving and had a stomach ache and shit her pants while driving. Hilarious story, but it just goes to show, it happens to EVERYONE.

[PB the Deplorable]

This sounds like a great night for George to work in the story of how his father stomped and killed the baby hampsters with his bare feet.  Tommy's looking around now for that cue card.

What a weird creepy family.

[Morgus]

This JC calling in now sounds like a fake one.
Not the same voice of the JC that called into Art Bell years ago.
I think when Noory took over years ago, he hired a fake JC impersonator that he could access and control.

You know this JC is a fake.

And this is a new low tonight -- Noory trying to make people with sad stories about death talk to the JC character.  Now I've heard it all. 

[Sidsel Roine]

I'm listening to J.C. on the air with George right now, and the whole thing is so phony, a word that sums up my feeling for Noory's C2C. Contrived and phony. It was probably that way with Art too, but it was so much more entertaining back then.

Early on, George said he had asked Art how to handle JC (I wonder what Art thought about that?)

Quite revealing, this guy with 'life long' broadcasting experience didn't know how to handle JC - or by extension, any caller not tightly screened - and was too lazy and lacking to even go back and listen to a few JC calls with Art to figure it out for himself.

I think it is correct to assume this 'JC', and most if not all the other callers, are paid actors.

[KMKMKM]

i'm not sure, it's the same quick and witty humor I remember.  Real or fake, that was probably the most entertained I've been by coast to coast AM this year.

I feel like if George was behind these JC calls they would be much more tame.  I remember a couple of years ago George had to kick JC off for racial slurs, and making fun of someones dead family member doesn't seem like something they would set up.

[Morgus]

As predicted, Noory cut out early in this last half hour tonight.
This is a replay portion from years ago - I recall this call in with Morgus before.
Noory didn't fool anybody, he split already.

[SnapT]

What happened to the caller opening up the safe from NASA or whatever?  Just as he's opening it, it suddenly cuts to the pre-recorded Morgus bit.

[KMKMKM]

wow that's an all-time low for Noory.  Did he really just try to pull an 'area 51 caller'-esque show cut off?  What a pathetic excuse to leave early.  How hard is it to find a host for Friday nights that can actually host an entire show?  Noory-hosted Friday night open lines have essentially turned into a three hour show.

Does George still claim to be the hardest working person in radio (I got an email responce once from Lisa Lyin sayng that)?

Does he still speak of putting in 8 hours of show prep every day (or is that claim too absurd even for George these days)?

I wonder why he would do all that just to dump the guest and take off on Fridays?  He never really says.

Now that you bring it up- I wonder how many of Georges "callers" are paid actors from Premiere (they do have a service to provide their hosts with "talent" in the form of "spontaneous" callers.  JC probably has been replaced with an actor and I would not be surprised to find that many of his callers were paid.  I am just listening to JC now... I like that George prefaced the call with the words "I wonder what this could be about?" (as though he had no idea at all.)  This JC does not sound like the original.  The inflection in his voice and the words he stresses sound to be "off" though the vocabulary is about right.

Premiere had a scandal a year ago where they posted on their website “Premiere On Call is our new custom caller service... We supply voice talent to take/make your on-air calls, improvise your scenes or deliver your scripts. Using our simple online booking tool, specify the kind of voice you need, and we’ll get your the right person fast. Unless you request it, you won’t hear that same voice again for at least two months, ensuring the authenticity of your programming for avid listeners.”

It sounds like a service George might subscribe to in order to make open lines just a little easier and to prevent the stress of having to actually use unscripted callers (even after they are screened.)

Worst. Show. Ever.

Shows about NDEs are always boring - all the experiences are pretty much the same. If you've heard one NDE story, you've heard them all (except for that girl who supposedly went to hell, which sounded like a lie to me).

The alleged J. C. was definitely not the original, and the guy wasn't actor enough to pull off the impersonation, which went on way too long.

The 'cliffhanger' about the guy opening the safe was also obviously a set up and was beneath Premiere and C2C and its producers, if not Noory.

If Noory has to take time off every Friday, could they at least rerun something more interesting than the stupidity of the insipid Dr. Morgus ?

Unless the majority of the C2C audience are mouth-breathing morons, it looks like we're witnessing the beginning of the end of a once-great program.

[WOTR]

Worst. Show. Ever.

It seems like every one that I catch beginning to end is worse than the last... Now I am going to try to pick out paid actors vs. callers.  JC would be the first actor and the nervous garbage (and really poor script) on the safe guy tells me that he had at least two actors on tonight.  There were several callers going on about how great George is and giving him the perfect lead in to "I'm just here to bring out the truth" garbage that may well have been scripted. 

Finally, is it just me, or is this the first time in forever that some velvet morning has been played as bumper music?  It was just mentioned on the board, now it was played and a caller even commented on it...  Have I just been missing the episodes where it is played?

[Frys Girl]

"get you the most truth possible." Nothing could be further from the truth. George Noory is just there to sell his crappy products: freeze dried beef straganov and french fries.




I noticed that George was going on about having "a full, live show on Labor Day," as if he is really making a major accomplishment. It's an overnight show George. Get over yourself.




I also noticed that he said "Ian will be here tomorrow night and I'll be here Sunday night to discuss bla bla bla." No mention of Ian's topic. I don't think these two men discuss anything anymore. I bet you Ian hates George Noory.

[Frys Girl]

Did anyone else hear the woman who said angels taught her friend yoga? Art could really respond to these kooks while still enabling them to continue with their BS. George just consoles them.

     Kathy Baker's near death story was interesting, right up until George decided to ask questions.  Allowing "J.C." to interact with callers was a disaster, those folks had stories to tell.  The whole "guy with the NASA safe" thing was weird.  George cuts him off, says nothing to the listeners, and goes directly to the dumb, overplayed, "Morgus gets hit in the face" bit.  Huh?  What happened?  I guess Truth Seeker will bring us the truth unless...well...maybe not so much.  Worst show ever?  Depends.  Play the ufo phil song, he left out the back door.

Betcha he was like "there were dildos in the safe." And Noory couldn't handle a prank. I think Dan's calls drove him nuts.

[Wahnfried]

I bet you Ian hates George Noory.

I think you're absolutely right. Have you noticed how they "fight" over Capt. Kelly Sweeney?

I agree that last night's MAY be the worst ever. I'm hearing the fake JC interview on the replay. What a complete train wreck.
