George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[zeebo]

George recently proclaimed he is (just now) getting into Bob Dylan.

My guess is now that a couple months have passed, if someone stopped him on the street today he wouldn't know who Dylan is.

The Dylan line "Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is" seems appropriate for Noory.

[Doomed]

E-mail away:
George,
If you really cared about the show the way you say you do, then why screw around with the guests? Linda Stasi is a very nice lady who told an interesting story. She was credible, accomodating, and she treated you with more respect than you deserve. To spoof her with a fake voice and then deny it it is below the line.
One can only wonder how you treat guests when they come to your home. Do serve stale pizza rolls and make them stare down your gullet while rehashing your roasted throat story?
Are they greeted with a water balloon to the kisser? Do you kick their dog or thump little junior on the head with your shoe? No? Then why in hell would you treat one of your guests on the air so badly?? Grow up for crying out loud!

The deal about Patti D was that she was incredibly, amazingly, unbelievably lovely, but not in that big-haired, massive black eyeliner, super-slut groupie way. She was instead ultra sophisticated, full of the grace and self-assurance that made you want to stand back and just watch her walk.

Yes to all of that.  I wasn't so shocked at her appearance because I had seen her a few years previously acting in a friend's soap opera, I think The Guiding Light.  I was very surprised to see her in such a role, and to see what she looked like.

[valdez]

Not a word.

E-Mail away folks!! We've gotten 4 responses so far and he's clearly rattled

     Even the worst talk show host you can think of, from whatever political spectrum, would have started off tonight's show with an apology to Mrs. Staci, and an open invitation to come back and plug whatever she wanted.  Just from this thread alone he and his staff must have gotten a dozen or so emails (I don't know Art's email...is it still artbell@mindspring?  I just want Art to listen to that segment.  Just listen to it.) on his behavior, and I read comments from a bunch of folks on the c2c facebook thing, and even a zombie over at "into infinity," who voiced their displeasure at George's moronic antic.  Nothing from George.  Not a word.  He's on another level for sure.  Maybe there is something wrong with his head.  He was all serious tonight doing the ufo thing with Timothy Green Beckley and Norio Hayakawa.  He even introduced a new sponsor.  Something that, when taken, will fix up your prostrate, and on his last prostrate exam his doctor told him, "you're in great shape!"  Eh, doc, you're looking at the wrong end.
 

"...but don't take my word for it.  I've got the doctor here

tonight and he'll tell you what kind of fabulous shape my

prostrates in, and then we'll take your calls.  I want to hear

your stories about your prostrate..."

[ziznak]

yeah the mindspring account is still live.  I forget who the gabber was that recently e-mailed him but somewhere in the last week or so in the "art bell quits coast" thread you can find it mentioned.  I find it weird that Art still has his mindspring account yet I still use an Aol account from FOREVER ago.

Fun With Joorch and Tommy (and font sizes! I apologise for all the  things littering this - it's actually an improvement on my first attempt. Anyway, you get the gist) As this correspondence involved three time zones, I've standardised everything to EST.

[size=78%]The hope that we might hear Knapp or Simone introducing the show, indicating that Joorch had been placed on gardening leave, proving vain and any mention of Tuesday night's events being unforthcoming, I set the ball rolling with this at 1:41am:[/size]


Going to apologise for last night?
Of course you won't. All bullies are cowards, right?


To my great surprise, I got this reply from Snoory - or at least from his email address - at 1:59am:


[/size]Bullies are you -----losing it?


I wonder if anyone can re-punctuate that to reconcile it to the English language? Back I went at 2:07am:


[/size]Typically, your response makes no sense.[/size]
[/size]Do you deny your behaviour last night was that of a bully? Asking Linda if she thought she was possessed? Repeatedly lying to her when she was clearly upset by your pathetic prank. You tell me how you would describe it?


And followed it up with this at 2:14am:


[/size]You see, George, there are only two explanations for what went on last night. Either you believe it was a harmless prank, or you insist the voice was not yours and was genuinely the voice of Jesus or some other disembodied entity invading the airwaves. Which is it to be?
I think you owe your listeners a comment on it, to say the very least.



Which produced this reply at 2:59am:


[/size]Or the third someone else did it while I was speaking..ever think of that?


My response to that. 3:08am:


[/size]Oh, is that what you're claiming? Well now, it would have to have been someone else in your studio which would make you still complicit in what happened. And I know who suggested to Linda that she might be possessed. And when a caller correctly identified the comment as 'Linda, why did you write this book?', I also know who said to Linda 'Answer the question, then'. And that would be you. How about you take responsibility for what happened on your show and in your name?


Silence.
Meanwhile, back at 2:41am, the other half of the tag team that is NoMoreNoory went straight for the jugular:


[/size]The writing is on the wall Noory. More specifically, it's on the web. ALL OVER the web. The numerous sites devoted to you and to your absolutely embarrassingly poor excuse for a show. The garbage that spews forth from your mealy mouth night after night is mind boggling. Haters? Really? Are you 12? Quite the opposite sir. We have all united. Brought together to lament. We miss our beloved Coast to Coast. You have murdered it. You are inarticulate. You lack any perceivable interviewing skills. You are devoid of any natural curiosity. The exact same questions night after night. The stumbling and bumbling over the simplest of words. Your feeble attempts at jokes at others expenses. Your palpable disdain for your listeners. Your obvious lack of show prep. Your continuous disrespect for your guests. Your mindless non-sequiturs. It goes on and on. Are we really losers that live in our parents basements? Art is among us. He has posted on the boards. Will you say the same about him now? Have you been rattled sir?
Remember the young man that called you from the college campus? He told you that they had an auditorium of students that gathered to listen to you nightly? Nearly 200 of them if I remember correctly. He told you that you made them laugh. Because you're quick and witty George? No. Because you're a fool and a joke.
I suppose the joke is on us though, because night after night, without trying, you lazily and carelessly rake in your paycheck and laugh all the way to the bank.
The topic of karma comes up on Coast from time to time. For your sake George, you need to pray it doesn't exist.

Yours in continual disgust,


The hilarious reply to that came in at 2:58am:
[/size]
[/size]You seem unhappy in life......


3:13am:


[/size]That's the best you can do? Really? How very predictable of you. Such an infantile declaration. Based on what George? Or is it Tommy doing the corresponding?
Try as you might sir, and despite your obvious obliviousness, I suspect you know it all to be true. Carry on and keep digging your own hole. At some point, the higher ups at Premiere will be forced to take action.


16 minutes later, the reply that suggested that Tommy may have been responsible for all the replies:
[/size]
[/size]He just signed for 5 more years


3:34am:


[/size]So the feckless one actually IS incapable of composing his own responses. I must thank you for all of the laughs this evening. You two make a lovely, albeit dysfunctional couple.



Silence..........

[valdez]

yeah the mindspring account is still live.

     I just wrote him.

Fun With Joorch and Tommy...

     Wow.  This was a battle.  A battle won by NoMoreNoory.  Excellent.

[Juan]

Let me throw in possible Aspergers syndrome (high-functioning on the autism scale) as a possible cause of Noory's continous bizarre behavior.  With Asperger's one has to learn how to react in basic social situations, because it is not instinctual as it is to most of us.  That's a huge over-simplification on my part, but jes sayin' ...

I've thought this over, and I don't believe that's it.  I have Asperger's and had to work very hard to learn to function in broadcasting.  I had to learn how to interview, I had to learn how to understand people's feelings.  I was able to do this, I think, because broadcasting was one of my interests.  Thus, using Asperger's as a tool, I became an expert.

Folks with Asperger's have "interests."  Try to talk to an Aspie and you'll find out more than you ever wanted to know about whatever that person's interest is.  Don't mention black and white photographic printing paper around me (I make my own), or the fine technical points of slide operation on a trombone (I've played professionally), or the varieties of Remington Noiseless typewriters (I have more than a dozen).

sNoory has displayed none of the Asperger's trait of "interests" - and becoming an expert in anything.  Well, maybe he's interested in buffoonery. He's certainly expert in that.

[Falkie2013]

I find old typewriters interesting, but try to find a typewriter repair person nowadays.


And at least one fellow with Asperger's tried to delve into NASA's UFO secrets for the rest of us.


But Snoory is just plain DUMB, with NO disease to give him an excuse for it.


If he DID have some kind of disease he'd talk about it for months.


And here's how I feel when I've heard his crappy bumper music.


Here's a picture of the first King of Paranormal radio, Long John Nebel.

My unprofessional opinion is that Noory is either a narcissist or sociopath, or both.  I read that these people can be aware of other people's feelings; they just don't give a damn if they hurt the person or not.  Sort of the squash the fly theory.


A friend's son has Asperger's and he's a great guy.  A bit reserved, but his interests range from  classic rock of the 60s to vegetarian cooking.  He taught English for a couple of years in Africa.  Don't see a bit of Noory in him. 

[ItsOver]

It's simple.  Jorch has Nooryitis.  Fortunately, he's the only known case in history.  Unfortunately, there is no cure.  The best approach is to quarantine Noory and isolate him from humanity.

[Juan]

Jorch has Nooryitis.

That's it.

[HorrorRetro]

Maybe there should be a separate "Diagnose Noory" thread. 

In addition to the diagnoses already listed by others, I'd add Oedipus complex to his list of pathologies.  Here is a man in his 60s who claims he still confers with his mother regarding the show each night.  He wants to keep a late-night show G rated so it does not offend her.  He claims a late-night show that used to explore all facets of the bizarre is now a "family show."  He plays music from his mother's glory days.  He seems to have no cultural knowledge of what was popular music for his generation; he is stuck in his mother's cultural milieu.  From his own stories, we know he had problems gaining his father's approval, but his mother was always there supporting him.  It is rather depressing to think that a man in his 60s still requires the approval of his mother and seeks it out at the detriment of his listeners.

[san miguel]

Does anyone have a link to that YouTube clip of Noory psychically guessing a caller's occupation--then getting busted when she says she just told that to the screener?  I think I followed it from a forum post here.

It was from May 12, 2005.  It's been scrubbed from the internet.  Audio clips of it were on Youtube, but they were taken down citing 'copyright infringement.'   It's interesting that there are about a million other clips that don't get taken down, just that one.  Every time it pops back up, it gets taken down.

Thanks!  If I had known Premiere wanted it taken down, I'd have grabbed it.

That clip was mine. After 5 years on Youtube and over 110,000 views, I was surprised to see it taken down a few weeks ago. That was the first time it had been "scrubbed."

Premiere claimed copyright infringement, but it was clearly covered under the Fair Use doctrine. Youtube takes these videos down without even checking them. In order to get it back up, I need to submit all my personal info to Premiere (via Youtube), then Premiere decides if they want to pursue legal action. It's all b.s.

I'll try to find the file and upload it to Daily Motion when I get a chance. I'll then post the link here so anyone can download it, so it stays "out there." I'd love to see someone put it back on Youtube -- someone who wants to pick a fight with Premiere, so to speak.

Jorch has Nooryitis. 

Or maybe Nooryopathy.

You're right on, I agree with you completely.  Noory has yet to make the separation from his 80+ mother.

Unless these are more creepy lies where he's trying to make himself out to be the good caring son.  I don't buy it.  Are we really supposed to think his mother - what is she, 90 - has been stayihg up until 5am listening to this dreck live all these years, then calling to go over it?  Isn't that what he claims.

[Albedo]

That was brilliantly done.

If George really is signed on for 5 more years (which wouldn't surprise me) we will have to quit wishing for Art to take over (which I don't think he would). Art needs a new show.

Since I haven't paid much attention to Coast over the last 2 years has anyone noticed a drop in prominent or famous/serious guests that used to appear? Honestly if I was someone on the level of Dr. Michio Kaku I would have dropped going to the show by now.

Speaking of bumper music when Art used to host he would sort of meld with the bumper music. What do I mean? Well here you have this host in the middle of the desert. He is taking you on a "ride" in the middle of the night. Art's voice, which I can't really describe but you all know, lends it this hypnotic quality. You can almost see the smoke filled room you're sitting in and Art's having a conversation with you. It's hard to describe in the end but it wasn't just the bumper music he used but his personality, voice and location that made it all the better. It almost made Art as mysterious and interesting as the things he was discussing.

I could have sworn multiple times Snoory said he never listened to the C2C shows that he hosts. I'm thinking his mother was some lie he manufactured because he needed to sound like he tries to improve himself and the show.

That's also a possibility.  Again, it would illustrate how he lacks any social skills if he's telling the world he's conferring with his mother regarding how to do the show.  Either way, if he does it or he just pretends to do it, something is definitely off in his mental processing.

[Morgus]

Last night at the start of the show, Noory was name-dropping another celebrity encounter he recently had and tied it all into a commercial for a new sponsor of business cards.
Noory claimed he bumped into actor Michael Nouri (who starred in the 80's movie Flashdance) who has had a recurring role on top-rated CBS TV show NCIS as Ziva's father until he was killed off last week.
Noory discussed with Michael how many people think they are related since their last names sounds the same...

[UnscreenedCaller]

Dear Joorge,


You know how many people think you're related to Michael Nouri or any sentient being for that matter? Exactly the square root of squat. That's how many.


Sincerely,
Long Time Hater

He had Lawrence Krauss on a few months ago and managed to make an ass of himself once again. Granted, for old Joorge it's never a stretch.

Heard on the Paracast from the 1/16 podcast this month :



" Hi this is Don Ecker and you are tuned into the Paracast & let me tell you what, you're gonna hear stuff here that you probably won't  hear any place else.

  Hear that, George Snoory ? "

ROFL !

I didn't like the fact that they ran an ad for a place in Argentina where you get to kill cougars as " sport " though.

Proof George is a sociopath(?), he did almost (or actually did) kill someone:

Around 2005 or 2006 he had a husband and wife come to St. Louis with him from LA.  The guy had someone serious health issue, but they worshiped George.  George, while in St. Louis, took a guy with serious mobility issues to a mall or something, and George left them behind while he sped ahead to do something important (everything George does in important).  The husband fell way behind George.  He tried to climb steps behind George, as George did not stop to help but sped ahead.  After climbing the steps, the guy fell, flat on his face and did very serious medical damage to his face and spine.  He was hospitalized in St. Louis and has a surgery there, I think to his spine.  He had a terrible time.  I think he was partially or fully paralyzed.  He was finally shipped back to LA.  I am not sure if he died or not or whether he ever healed.

George's comments on air felt so disconnected, so unreal to any blame he had in this guy's plight that I stopped listening to Coast on George nights.  George said all this on the air.

Anywhere else remember this?  What happened to the guy?  Didn't Goerge's thoughts at the time show a strange, inhuman disconnect?

[McPhallus]

Ecker is a good host, and his show dates back to the early C2C days.  It's too bad he never got syndicated.  What scares me off from the Paracast is the fact that they play a slew of ads every three minutes.

I guess something has to pay your bills when you can't get a real radio gig.

Wow. They just had Hilly Rose do a promo on there.

A blast from the past. I used to listen to him on KNEW and he was into ufo's and the paranormal back then.

The suits that own radio stations keep firing hosts that people know and love. It's rough out there in AM radio right now.

The ad that gets me that they're running is the one for " fake tv " for $ 34.95. Why not just leave a tv on and save $ 35 ?

Anywhere else remember this?  What happened to the guy?  Didn't Goerge's thoughts at the time show a strange, inhuman disconnect?

Wasn't this for a Thanksgiving dinner, with George running and skipping ahead of the guy.  First off, why wasn't George having dinner with his grown children and their families on Thanksgiving - isn't that why he needs to go back to St Louis all the time?  I wonder who goes to a mall for Thanksgivig, but lots of people go out to eat and it's possible some ok restaurant was attached to a mall somewhere.  Why would George be running ahead of his dinner companions, and why would they feel the need to keep up?

From time to time, George would have an update on the guy - 'he's dooin' ok, still can't sit up or eat though'.  Once George bragged about how he gave the guy an iPod.

Then, as with Casey the Dog, Maritza, the studio in Hawaii, all the various TV shows he claims to have been asked to do and be working on, the time he chased down a guy and held him for the cops in a 'dine and dash', the times he's cured cancer, and so many other stories and people, one day George just quit mentioning him, just another lost or cancelled 3x5 cue card.

I think it's safe to say the guy never existed, but George needed an imaginary friend to have Thanksgiving Dinner with and to show how generous he is with his ill and injured friends.  Again, either way...
