George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Nucky Nolan]

type of guy that I don't think the public is really ready for!

Well, that much is true.

(Not) George Noory: "I'm an acquired taste, like vinegar ice cream."

[Morgus]

That frequent annoying caller Bill from West Hartford, Conn (the amateur atheist astronomer) got on the air yet again just now asking more questions about Mars. He gets on almost every week lately...

[EnterDragon]

Yeah, that caller is on the payroll for sure.

[Morgus]

Tonight Noory cut another guest short, the interesting first guest on space/Mars was cut down to one hour and he expanded the second (boring) guest to 3 hours.
The second guest is now talking about Oprah Winfrey and Noory is name-dropping like crazy with Detroit TV people he worked with.

[Morgus]

Noory just told his guest about his recent mouth-burning incident.
I bet he will do that almost every night now...

[Maxwell]

George:  "John has had two near-death experiences disguised as near-death experiences at the age of 19 and 27."

[WOTR]

I just have not been able to take much coast lately, so I have not been around.  I tried a couple weeks ago with Wells and nearly tossed the radio through the wall.  A few nights ago I tuned in to hear that Noory had burned his mouth and thought to myself that he should really open a line dedicated to those who have tasted food that was too hot.  Of course, he did not do that... but the calls came in one after another relating the woes of a burned mouth and offering their sympathies for his mouth.  George talked in falsetto to his caller and I turned him off shortly thereafter.

Now I am here tonight and hear Noory schlepping for some cancer treatment and ask myself why I bother...  I opened up a text book for HVAC technicians instead to try to learn something useful.  Perhaps later this week I can try again?

I did notice that George seems to manage to work in the fact that, hero that he is, he will be hosting all through the Christmas season this year out of kindness to losers without a life.  Does he ever get sick of believing that the world will end without him?  My new years prediction (early) is that George will mention this fact no fewer than three times a week on average until the new year... If I can make it through on the prediction show I expect a big DING! to be uttered by the moron...

I was listening to the old shows on Fine Art tonight and Bill from West Hartford called Art.  He stated that he was an atheist and Art told him "I have told you to quit identifying yourself as such when you call.  I do not care nor does it matter what your beliefs are nor does it matter what my personal beliefs are."  Handled much differently than Snoory.

By the way, my avatar is a picture of Art dressed up as the Millennium Master that I took from his web site and have saved.

wish Noory would deal with 'ole Bill the same way.

Art's year 2000 Millennium Master getup was great, I remember seeing him on his old live video cam back then.
The "MM" had a double meaning, standing for Millennium Master, and also the roman numerals for 2000.

[Juan]

sNoory's guest, John St. Augustine, talked about his video streaming camera and implied that he was the first.  We all know that the folks who developed the technology worked with Art. 

Did sNoory point that out?  Of course not.  He sucks.

Maybe it's a portal?

So far the only station I'm picking up Clyde Lewis on is WRVA 1140 Richmond, Va.   I get the one hour (midnight to one a.m.) before CTC.  So far I like what I hear... time will tell.    I'm hoping I continue to like it and hope to see/hear the whole show... hoping one of the stations I pick up with a decent signal sign Clyde up.   Just have to wait and see.   I find myself tuning away from CTC more and more.   I can't believe I've hung around this long... I had hopes Premiere would replace Noory.

Premier radio has picked Clyde up, and he has varying hours in different markets. My guess is Premier is keeping an eye on him as a possible replacement for either Noory or maybe they're going to revamp the entire C2C show. But I've been begging for that for a decade or more and no joy. But I am happy to actually get FIVE hours of Clyde through KXL at this link; http://www.kxl.com/pages/ground_zero
and his show is archived commercial free for free the next day at this same link. It's a very sweet deal!
Clyde used to open for Art Bell many years ago, but he had a couple of very nasty bouts with cancer that seems to have put the kaboosh on his career for years. I found him again a few years back doing a midnight show out of Portland on Sunday nights, which was worth staying up for:)
Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it, and I just wanted to let my old buddies over here know about it.

I thought george just signed a new contract about a year ago?

Bill is on waaayyy to much and is entitled to do so.  I'd handle him the way Art did.  Noory is an asshole.  That being said...

I knew of Noory before I learned of Art Bell when I first listened to C2C 5+years ago.  I then started to find and listen to past Art Bell shows.  I learned quickly that he has balls and took ownership as the host of a show that he created and to me didn't have an agenda.

Noory just wants to kiss ass and sell mugs with his face on and pretend he is a giving, wise person, who has empathy for all. Clearly he is a fake and a hypocrite.  I believe he'd shit on a coworker just to get a step up the ladder.  I imagine him just being the worst person in the office.  He seems to be self-absorbed.  His psycothapy intrigues me.  ANYWAY...sorry for the rant....

It took me a couple years to catch on to his bit.  I still love C2C.  Like I've read here before....I will repeat the words of others....I hate George Noory.

[ShayP]

Oh...did anyone catch Noory stating he gave a loan to an 'ol Navy buddy who called him up the other day?  Said he didn't expect it back....then philosophised how he didn't expect it back and just wanted to awaken him to the problems that put him in his situation...yada yada yada.  I have heard that spiel at LEAST twice a year.  Noory is so fucking delusional with his stories....and, if I may add, his shitty idea of humor.

[ItsOver]

He can always be bought out by PremRat.  A few packs of pizza rolls should do it. 

There may also be something similar to an "ethics" clause.  For grins, let's call it an "idiot" clause.  PremRat could let him go if they deem him an idiot, just to keep their options open all the time.  I'm sure PremRat's attorneys are much better than The Nooron. 

[PortlandDangler]

Norry needs to make a public apology for the last 10 years. Then jump out a window.

Have the ratings dropped over the last 2-3 years? That's the way to be rid of him.

What a sanctimonious prick. IF it's true, and I have serious doubts, Noory, with his history of not paying his own bills and having numerous lawsuits and judgments against him, has no business preaching to anyone else about money issues. 

People who give charity and then make a big deal about it make me sick.  You give to others for the sake of the others, not for garnering praise and sympathy for your good deed. 

[ShayP]

I am listening to the Nov 30th podcast.  Noory just stated again that there is a 30 day rule where people can't call in and got on this guy who managed to make it through twice this month.  What a fucking douche!  There are numerous callers who get on weekly...aside from atheist astronomer Bill.  I'm convinced that Noory doesn't really know what he says.  It is maddening!

Had I been the so-called "friend" in that story, and had I been listening to the show, I would've immediately declared GN's loan a gift and marked it off my debit page. Seems a fitting payback for having GN talk me down on the air.

[ItsOver]

Once again, all the roads of suckage lead to The Least, The Worst, The Nooron.

Yeah, no kidding.  That guy must have been mortified to hear his personal story spewed over the air for all to hear.

[driton]

I havent listened since the pizza roll show, but came across a good gauge of what george snoory has done to the show.

Back in 1998, Art had 22 million listeners on around 300 stations.
Today, George has  3 - 4.5 million listeners on 560 stations.

I rarely email my complaints to any show or business.  Nonetheless, I did sign on to C2C.  I am an "Insider" by the way. LOL!  Anyway, only once before now did I email C2C.  That was in regards to the JBW convo with Stan Johnson.  Well, I have tried a few times today to email Noory and they are not going through.  Maybe there's a filter?  My JBW email went through just fine. I assure you all that I have a very good computer and a very good internet provider.  I'll try again.  Not that I'd make a difference but here is what I wrote to Noory:

Hello George.

I have heard you say many, many times that there is a 30 day rule where callers can only get on the show once per month.  Yet I hear numerous callers get on several times a month. Sometimes per week. Atheist Astronomer Bill for instance. Regardless....I have been listening for 5 years and have learned to recognize the cadence and stories of callers, and I've come to realize your "rule" is fraudulent and arbitrary.

Quite frankly it is insulting to loyal listeners and subscribers....AND potential callers. Then again your audience is so big and the ratings so high you can only handle so many callers at a time.  Oh wait. That's ironic.

I'll continue to listen, and continue to look forward to the same recycled callers and hypocritical spiel.

coast is a joke.  but somehow we're like flies drawn to shit. sooo .... there's that

Haha!  In the words of Noory.....So true, so true.

[PortlandDangler]

Great email. You know he clicked DELETE the second he read the critical info.

[PortlandDangler]

Haha!  In the words of Noory.....So true, so true.

Coast to coast is our "portal".

'An old Navy buddy'.  George was in the Naval Reserves and had a desk job in DC.

Once again Geeoge tells a personal story attempting to make himself look lke the person he'd like to be, but as always it just doesn't quite ring true and makes him sound creepy.

Navy buddy.  What a laugh.  Anyone else out there giving money to people you worked in an office with 25 years ago?

Thanks for your service, George.
