George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Ben Shockley]

...GN readily agrees with anything a guest or caller has to say, regardless of how ridiculous their opinion might be.

At the risk of seeming like I'm showing the slightest bit of empathy toward ol' Tangle Tongue, I'd like to see someone put a serious effort toward a forensic psychological analysis of Noory.
That apparent mania about avoiding ANY disagreement, never asking for follow-up or the slightest apposition, basically avoiding real give-and-take of conversation --basically avoiding anything that would connote that the guest is anything other than the greatest thing since sliced bread and utters only and always The Last Word on whatever topic-- bespeaks to me a traumatic fear of confrontation that (I would bet) suggests a lot about Georgie's upbringing: that some authority figure in that house would brook absolutely no disagreement on anything, and "disagreement" was defined very arbitrarily.
In other words, Georgie seems like someone who learned early how to conversationally walk on eggshells.   More evidence of that seems to lie in his dumb-ass interjections: they seem on whole to be real "fluffy" and (of course) non-probing, as if trying to be innocuous enough to not seem like interruptions-- allowing him to keep up the "patter" while still being non-confrontational.   Like the vocal behavior of someone in a really short-fused potentially violent atmosphere, trying to provide enough of a presence to be "entertaining" but not enough of a presence to be "a target."

Of course, maybe he's just a blithering idiot.   "6" vs. "half dozen"   HOO KNAUWS?

During my news career, I noticed that many reporters seemed to not remember what they had reported on only a day or two before.  They would file a story presenting a position on one day, and a few days later, file a story presenting the opposite view without mentioning the first story.  I'd question the reporter and learn the reporter had no real memory of the earlier story.

I was always amazed.

Maybe sNoorty suffers the same affliction.

            It's just part of a job to them. No emotional investment. Like asking a mail carrier "remember that department store circular you delivered last week?" or to a gas station worker "remember that oil change you performed on a '97 Saturn?"

I think I may have been engaging in some cognitive dissonance. Well, of course I have. I mean related to C2C: I have been ignoring the fact that I am still a "Coast Insider", or whatever it's called.

The benefit I was most interested in when I signed up was the archives. For the last 3-4 years they've been promising access to archives of the entire show regardless of date; but availability is still limited IIRC to only the most recent 3 years. I've used it less and less, to the point I can't remember having accessed an archived show, even from the night before, more than 1-2 times in the past 6 months. I'm wasting money.

So I finally cancelled Insider. But I don't get a prorated return of subscription fee. Rather, I can access it until April, 2013. So I guess at least I'll be able to go back and find the show from when the world was destroyed on 12/21/12.

No wonder GN is always on about monthly subscriber goals...he has to make up for the torrent of defections. Sardondi, your extension will no doubt be considered a sale, so one more bead on your abacus Georgie.

Noory to the women being interviewed advocating growing food in your back yard.  "Can you grow a candy bar, I don't think so".  If delivered correctly it could have been a funny comment but since George has no sense of fun it came off as it was presented, stupid!

Noory's question to the GMO interview.  "Will frozen corn be genetically modified, which is what I will be having on Thanksgiving"  WTF .... He had been interviewing her for over an hour and he comes out with packaged frozen corn question. Hope he knows to thaw it out and heat it up. Coast To Toast!

[ziznak]

nothing like hungry man turkey dinner for thanksgiving lol... good eats snoore boy

Stumbled across this page http://eternian.wordpress.com/tag/george-noory/ as i was looking for GN related things. It's an example of how GN readily agrees with anything a guest or caller has to say, regardless of how ridiculous their opinion might be.

theres some questionable content on that site you linked.

[coaster]

No kidding. And "chosenbygrace" is a member here. The kid is a train wreck mentally.

I didn't read anything on that site, I just noticed a photo that was posted there. Thats the last time I'll click on any links.

         I made it as far as "Calvinist perspective" on that site.

I don't necessarily agree with every thing on that site, but the entry on Noory is spot on.  Nice summary of Noory's many faults.

I was just referencing one piece on there, I don't even know what the rest of the site is about. Came up in Google.

Yeh, I read that as well. When you have two nuts, and one correctly evaluates the other, it can mean only one thing. Noory was the other. Congrats to noory. He is the bigger nut!

It could bring atheists and fundamentalists together. As I earlier said, there was a reference to the supposed miracle at Fatima. Noory agreed with the guest's claim that the "sun" was really the mother ship. He knew this because the sun would have "burned up" the people if it got too darn close.

Tonight's show:


Mermaids & Angels

Metaphysician and spiritual psychologist, Doreen Virtue, will discuss the truth about Mermaids and their connection to the star Sirius, as well as her work with the Archangel Michael and the mysteries of the Indigo children.

Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?! Aside from Knapp and maybe Ian, this show is toast. And fuck Art Bell for selling out to these frauds.

[Juan]

Don't be so quick to condemn.  This show sounds as though it has amusement potential.  At least filled with opportunities for sNoorisms.

Wow. Talk about synchronicity! It was just this morning, as I was brewing the coffee and ordering Twinkies off eBay, that I let out a frustrated sigh, then turned to my husband and expressed how I wished I knew the truth about mermaids and their connection to the star Sirius! And then I see this! Noory is so right...there are no koinshidenshes. It's like I was tapped into, somehow connected, to the C2C mainshtreem konshishnus or something. My brain was shtreemlinked.

Well, I'd better get back to brewing my Stanley's coffee, or else he'll become very angry with me.

Another member mentioned this a while back, and I concur and will reiterate - George Noory comes across as a man who possesses absolutely no interest in the world around him. Zero. Nothing. He's a lethal combination of both sheer ignorance and extreme apathy. He completely lacks any semblance of genuine curiosity, a quality most humans are born with. And if he had any (curiosity), he doesn't have the intelligence to identify the pertinent questions that need to be asked and addressed. He is totally incapable of sound articulation. He is all form and no substance, which, sadly, is the ideal host persona for the C2C audience of 2012. Like George, a large percentage of the listening audience has the attention span of an eight year old child. Their minds are of the sort that recall the pill popping, large screen television zombie viewers that inhabit Ray Bradbury's chilling world in "Fahrenheit 451". The executives and producers of the show are in essence reminiscent of Bradbury's "firemen" in the book; they figuratively "burned the books" re show content to reflect what is truly out there in listening land...an empty hinterland devoid of depth and curiosity.

To seek is arduous; to be well fed with an array of light appetizers that don't provide food for thought is more to the majority's taste. The audience (again most, not all) don't wish for in-depth analysis and profound, thought-provoking discourse; the simpletons simply demand, and get, entertaining sound bites of the most innocuous kind that do not require them to think. The audience and Noory are suitably matched. Thus you have the man in the host chair who gives the audience what they want....air time.

“With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be.”
- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Or is it the chicken rather than the egg ? Noory has been the host for nearly ten years. Is it possible that those of us who see him for the nitwit that he is have deliberately been winnowed out of the C2C audience by his incompetence, leaving Premiere's desired demographic ? Could Premiere have intentionally destroyed C2C by deploying the Neutron Noory bomb, knowing that those listeners like us would never fall for the work-at-home scams and high-commission gold frauds, or buy the worthless snake oil 'remedies', all of which constitute 90+% of C2C advertising ?

Indeed, I don't believe for one second that the powers-that-be at Premiere are all imbeciles. They did their homework rather well re demographic market research. Albeit, granted, taking a good look around at what constitutes high numbers does not require excessive toil and sweat. They knew there were more fish to be hauled into the net by eradicating our particular demographic. C2C's current template matches Alex Jones' format and site re "doomsday" and, as you so succinctly stated, "snake oil remedies" which perhaps recall the roaming preachers and healers of the 1930's. Sadly, it's the sign of the times which is lit up with blazing coloured Vegas strip style neon. C2C offers up a veritable buffet laden with empty calories and far too many carbs.

No doubt about it.  Tonight's show has the makings of a "Noory classic."    Mermaids + Angels + Noory = LOL.  Throw in the Numbers Nut Lady and you have the perfect Nooron train wreck of laughter.

I only wish I'd been here RT to get the 100% caffeinated effect. Thanks for the lulz Jazzy.

But on a more somber note...

For decades people tried to jam the square peg of Bradbury's cautionary tale into their favorite political round hole - they said it was a tale about fascism, communism, crazed vegans (okay, that last not to my knowledge). But Bradbury later made clear he was telling us to be wary of those who feared intellectuals and wanted to silence and marginalize them. You know, like our entire popular culture. And Blinko.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...the only thing missing from abysmal Noory's abysmal C2C is a laugh track.

With Noory setting in "The Mother-of-all-Ships," what is really needed is something like a radio-version MST3K rendition of C2C.  Joel Hodgson and his bots, with a running commentary of the Nooron and his circus.  Doing what they did best, turning trash into comedic treasure.

Even as a very young child, George would tell anyone who would listen that the best coffee was mountain grown.

and now the husband would only beat his wife when he absolutely had a good excuse.  thanks folgers

what's sad is that this guy's behavior was tame compared to the shit that was really happening to women of that day.  in SOME cases anyway
