George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ZombiePoppa]

George was have a pleasant conversation with mobster guy. Mobster guy said earlier in the show that he'd been shot in the back, but the second after he said those words Simple George was more interested in talking about Corvettes or whatever car talk had been going on at the time.

I heard that, caused me to shout at the radio. Typical Noory. The idiot simply cannot conduct a decent interview.

[valdez]

...There aren't enough faces; there aren't enough palms...

Crap, I wish it was Knapp interviewing this ex-mobster...

...It may have made for an interesting few minutes to hear more about mob guy's dance with death and the dirty rat that shot him. But a stack of 3x5 cards were waiting to be read. The show must go on unimpeded by interesting stories...

     Sir Charles Shults III talking about fossils on Mars, and when I got home I checked out the pictures and they pretty much looked like what he said they looked like as opposed to seeing "wild man" Hoagland's pictures and wondering what the heck is he smoking.  Sir Charles is one of c2c best guest and not even George can screw up his segments.  Guest talking about mob stuff should also be a sure bet, but George is one tenacious critter and managed to side track Salvatore Polisi at every turn.  All you have to do is let these guys talk and good radio will ensue.   "Did you ever hear of any stories about guys that have been hit, shot, or killed?"  Shut up, George.  Just shut up.  I was surprised George didn't lecture Polisi after using the word "bitch."  Maybe not too surprised.
     In spite of all that, this may have been one of George's best shows this year, which I suppose ain't saying much considering how low the bar is set.
 

Polisi

can use the word "bitch" anytime he wants

[ZombiePoppa]

"Did you ever hear of any stories about guys that have been hit, shot, or killed?"

I had a nice laugh when I heard him ask that... What a dork.

Exactly... that's my biggest beef with Noory.  He is not active listening.  And your example also includes the fact that it came right after a callers question about gun control back in the mob days as well as a question about mob corruption versus govt corruption.  Within seconds,  George moved the topic to cars based on whatever keywords that clicked in his mind.  If he was active listening and was a professional host, he would have maintained a mental note that the guest hasn't answered the callers questions yet and he would purposely return the guest back to answering the caller's question.  That's the number 1 reason I hate George, because 90% of responses go off track.

The Shults interview was amazingly good.  sNoory asked a good question, and Shults answered it.  sNoory asked another on topic question, and Shults answered it. And so on - no Corvettes.  I think Shults prepared the questions for sNoory to ask, and sNoory simply read the cards.  It's the only explanation I have.

[Jasmine]

sNoory just said "All-heimers" - I haven't heard that one before.  How creative.

I once heard him say "imcomprehensable". George should follow up his mind-blowing "Worker in the Light" with his own dictionary.

[ItsOver]

Crap, I wish it was Knapp interviewing this ex-mobster.  But, no, it's Noory, so we get "Was Elvis a good guy?" and "Did you travel much with the mob?"

Hahahaha.... .  "Did you travel much with the mob?"  What, like riding around in a Cadillac, wondering where Guido and Tony were taking you and hoping it didn't have anything to do with a shovel?   :  Noory's staff must have a lot of fun thinking up relevant, "cutting-edge" questions that illustrate Noory's incredible depth.  :

[DAE]

I don't listen much these days so it didn't click right away when I heard the new voice-over guy giving out the phone numbers.  It clicked last night.  Gosh... he sounds so ordinary, the voice-over guy.  Coast can't seem to break out of the 'being average' box.   Even Knap would have been a better voice-over guy with his deep/distinct voice.

[ItsOver]

"Coast to Coast with Jorch Noory"........may as well be "Wonder Bread with Mr. Rogers," if they were still around.  :

[Immy]

Given his appalling interview skills, has a caller ever come to Jorch's rescue and asked a guest a relevant follow-up question? He drops the ball so often I imagine someone must have attempted it.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

It's official. I would have most definitely hopped into bed with Stalin in 1902...what a sexy pussycat! And...let me see him again in 1915...yes, let it go on record I would have slept with Stalin in 1915. Indeed, "hipster" is the word! I would have lay back and thought of communist Russia as fireworks exploded over the Kremlin. I would have sacrificed my virtue for my comrades back on the collective farm in the Ukraine bread basket. Yes, Yes, SOVIET!

Grrrooooooowwwwwwwwl

But then, after a fight, Stalin would have decided to kill you so no man could have you again. He sends his evil assassin to your apartment to kill you-coincidentally at the time you are about to take a bath. The plan is foiled as the young American reporter you met at the American Social Club a few days ago has also come to your apartment to apologize for his drunken comments.  After the fist fight, the American reporter recognizes this man as an assassin that has killed other American reporters. The only way to save you is to smuggle you out of Russia on the Orient Express to Vladivostok, and from there Japan.

Do you mean John B Wells? I don't think Knapp has a very deep voice.

Jorch seems to cut-off a lot of callers, especially if they show any capability beyond Jorch.  In other words, a lot of his callers.

That's one of the aggravating things.  Jorch bounces around so much with his off-the-wall questions and rarely seems to latch on to any potentially interesting caller and see where it all goes.   The bizarre thing is when he does latch onto a caller, it's usually something most people would think is either pretty lame or somewhat on the sickly strange side.

I wonder why Coast doesn't use Wells for the voice-over guy?  If Wells was kept to the script and not allowed to add his dope-induced digressions and references to "The Mothership"  :, it's actually something he'd be appropriate for.

I agree with the voice-over work.  That's what he does as a career.  C2C is his second job and I think Premier intended to get him into the mix based on his old rock 'n roll radio dj days. Hence the accents, the 'mothership' schtick, stoner act, etc.
I think JBW wants to replace Noory.  I hear him take subtle shots at Noory and drop hints here and there.  Premier is giving him just a little freedom right now.

I like JBW even though he irritates me at times.  Then again, nearly every host does.  Noory is the worst...ANYWAY...

My gut tells me JBW will be involved a lot after the new year. Probably in a bigger host role in addition to doing the voice-over.  Just a hunch on my part.

Or 'Were any kids ever interested in the mob'?

...No, never George. Lol.

[MV/Liberace!]

fucking fuuuuck.

[thefamilyghost]

Jorch just loves to ask black-or-white type questions.

Is _______ good?
Do you think _________ is bad?
Did you ever do bad things?
What about _____, was he a good guy?

Jorch, are you the epitome of suck?

[Morgus]

I bet Noory will have the Number's Lady on for a bit tonight to comment on the special numeric significance of today's date:
12-12-12

[DAE]

Oops, yes I meant John B Wells.   Sorry, all those hosts look a like.   

[MV/Liberace!]

racist.

That sounds right up Jorch's alley.  I can see him asking her "... and what about next year?  2013?  Just think 13-13-13!!!"  :

[jinwicked]

This showed up in my Facebook advertisements today. How do they know??? :tinfoil hat:

[ItsOver]

There are "no coincidences."   I love it.  "Mainstream media won't touch this stuff......."  You mean like Jorge?   

[Juan]

I bet Noory will have the Number's Lady on for a bit tonight to comment on the special numeric significance of today's date:
12-12-12

Which is the same as 3-3-3 which adds up to 9 while sNoory's number is a 7, and he carries in his wallet a piece of paper with the number 8 on it.
There are no coincidences.

[ItsOver]

Of course Jorch is still seeing that blasted "11" everywhere he goes, too.  "Oh, my gosh......12-1=11..... 11-11-11!!!!!  Folks, dare ish no coincidences!!!"

[Morgus]

have you noticed that Noory seems to take the title from some older show and add "with George Noory" to the end?
Noory seems to think that changes the title enough?
There used to be another old TV show named "Beyond Belief" before and of course he did that with "Coast to Coast AM" too also adding "with George Noory" 

[Jasmine]

hmmmm now I'm all interested in Jazzys SCHtalin seduction... so how would you approach this man of schteel and melt his metal heart??

Is he still talking about that? - there for awhile it seemed like he must have lost that cue card
