George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Maxwell]

Where's the "Word Of The Day" poster?  Because here's a new one:  hemorratumostroke.

[coaster]

sNoory was challenging the numbers broad to say "Mish Shedlock" ten times quickly.

What riveting radio...sorry I missed that.

[Neil]

I haven't listened to c2c since Dec because my Dr. says I need to keep my stress level and blood pressure down, and when I tune in tonight on the off, off, off chance that  GN might try to clean up his act due to some rumblings of a new show by Art. Guess not

{click off the radio}

I don't think George really cares, at this point.  He mailed it in a long time ago.  If he cared in the least, he'd see what people were saying on this site and others, and try to correct and clean up some of his glaring issues.  If he just did SOME show prep, and use his brain, he could be a much better host, even if he never came close to Art Bell or even Knapp.  Instead, it's just the same stuff, over and over. 

It feels like he screws off all day, comes in 5 minutes before show time, asks for the guest's name and the prepared questions, and goes with it.  There are very FEW guys in the radio industry that could do what Art can/could, but there are literally thousands that could do what Noory does, on a nightly basis.  That kind of says it all. 

Noory is living off the Coast to Coast name, and the built-in fan base, and he should thank his lucky stars for that. 

Prediction #1 for Art Bell's new show, for 2014...George Noory will not make it through his new contract, and neither will Coast to Coast AM.  Got that down Art?

The numbers lady is the most repetitive guest ever, same schtick, EXACTLY the same schtick

[CrabbyOld Bat]

Snorge introduced the first caller as "Joseph" from "Ass-tabula, Ohio."

Too bad the guys's name was GERALD and he was from AsHtabula.

Snorge finishes the call with, "Good luck, Joe."

Good grief.

Ha yeah Numbers Lady tried to correct him and he still didn't get it.  Not only can he not talk, but can't listen either.

I, the Alphabet Lady, see that Snorge's letters spell out IDIOT EXTRAORDINAIRE tonight.

[michio]

Another abiotic oil crap-fest is scheduled, because we know what Simple George believes, even if it flies in the face of common sense, science, and hard facts, is much more important than telling people what's really going on and giving them useful information.  So goes The George Noory Show, hosted by a self-important, never wrong narcissist.

[jinwicked]

No spent well has ever refilled itself, so I do not even understand the point of arguing about where oil comes from.

Noory comments about the biggest book he's ever seen, not read. Then makes comments about the pictures.

[coaster]

Something I've been working on tonight. -

[zeebo]

This guest basically just said that the entire Earth's surface has been surveyed for oil.  I have no idea if this is true, but wouldn't a rational follow-up question from George be "Really? Even the remotest areas like Antarctica, and the deepest parts of the ocean - even the friggin' Marianas Trench?". 

Instead as usual we just got a pass onto the next question on the trusty old checklist.

[zeebo]

Something I've been working on tonight. -

"What, me Noory?"

[WOTR]

I get what you're saying, but the Cafe Marrakesh and Oasis Bar?  With a theme that 'revolves around a fictional Englishman named Col. William Berry, who opened a restaurant following an exciting secret mission to marrakesh'?

And it flopped?  There is just something hilariously Noorish about it.

I think everybody is missing the main point in the article about how typically Noory the whole thing is.  The thing flopped (weather it was traffic issues or a dumb idea.)  But Noory is telling the interviewer how little effort he put into the thing.  The only way that there could be more parallels between his restaurant and Coast would be if he said how much prep time he put in prior to opening the doors each night.
It was a different lifestyle. It was part-time for me; it wasn’t my career.
And then we are supposed to be shocked that a venture that the guy put no heart, no soul and no effort into did not fly?  Usually if you put that little effort into something (making it part time and calling sitting at the end of your own bar drinking for free a lifestyle) it may not do so well...  On the other hand, he has done the same thing with Coast and has made a decade long career out of killing somebody else s show.  Perhaps he should have bought an already established business and spent years ruining its good name rather than putting money into a start-up?

[coaster]

I dont see why so many people are surprised that the show is shit now. Art knew who was replacing him. he knew that noory was no good. Didnt Art even say once that he didnt want someone as good as he was taking over the show?

[valdez]

"Feb."

...Simple George is unable to say "February"...

     No reason to have "numbers lady," Glynis McCants, on for the one billionth time, but what the heck, it ain't like there are new mysteries to uncover in this grand universe.  For an environmentalist, Richard Heinburg was reserved and thoughtful, and not a raving psycho like they can be sometimes.  Mitch Battros sounded so heart broken about his kid.  Brutal stuff.
    Memo to George:  I'm from Brooklyn, where mangling the English language is not only good sport, it's a rite of passage.  I got three jobs, one of which involves managing a restaurant filled with employees from far and strange places, and I've heard them do things to to the English language that would make your skin crawl off your bones and go running off into the woods screaming, and never...never have I heard anybody say "Feb" when referring to the second month of the year.  Never.  The reason it's written in front of you as "Feb" is because it is an acceptable abbreviation in written form.  You ain't suppose to say it.  Twice.  You dolt.

I heard Noory bring up Mitch's daughter on air, and I actually thought it was tacky. Mitch Batros sounded emotional and all Noory could say is "prayer for the girl" and "the little girl" ... And used Battros being upset to segway into the weather.. it was weird and creepy.

Holy shit coaster you got my Alfred E.Snoory beat there... love the hair n stache. 


I got to the call-ins and just had to bail.  I'm so sick of the numbers lady and her shit.  It sounds like she's just making random shit up and inserting numbers. 
"Well your birth number is a (insert random number) and your name makes you a (insert random number) so that would mean that with today being a (insert random number) you should probly work on (insert random aspect of personal life.)"  except the bitch somehow has charts n shit so that the numbers ARE actually assigned in some crazy way.  I'll get my personal insights the old fashioned way, tossing chicken bones in dirt.

That word of the day had me laughing and wondering where our word of the day guy was too.

Another attempt at humor from the nooron with his Mish Shedlock challenge... yeah we know thats a hard one for you George why didnt you give her a good word to say 10 times fast like..

Faruhwaary?
Feeebieweeebie?
Frappylappy?
Ferbiefurry?
ahem... FEB.

Can't say Febby weeby without thinking of this one from vulvaria on youtube

Skype Me It's February with George Noory!

[Sardondi]

If it's made it into his subconscious, I forecast a higher-than-normal verbal tic rate.

I think you're on to something.

[MV/Liberace!]

i don't recall art saying that, but good point.  we always make the assumption art would want the best possible replacement, but i see no logic in him (or any radio personality) wanting that.  it does nothing for his ego or his brand.  it's bad business.  if you are leaving a show, there's no upside to a replacement host who is better than you.  if i were art, i would probably have been concerned noory was TOO GOOD and would have found someone even dumber.

[Sardondi]

'... Actually, I wanted to start with kind of a funny local angle. So apparently you once had a restaurant in Brentwood, where our office isâ€"Café Marrakesh and Oasis Bar? I did. Back in 1986, in addition to all the stuff I was doing in broadcasting and communications, I had the grand idea to open up a restaurant. And it lasted whole year. [Laughs.] It was a different lifestyle. It was part-time for me; it wasn’t my career. But I had a great time. And it was really busy. I’ll tell you what happenedâ€"when they started widening Brentwood for the Galleria? It killed me. Because that was our only access to valet parking, and it just wiped us out...'

Translation: "I didn't know anything at all about the restaurant or bar business, and I wasn't even interested in it...so I opened up a bar and restaurant. I took no part in it, had no idea what I was doing. And it tanked. Bad luck, right?"

I remember Art saying "he gets it". I think Art either was glad handing per some radio protocol. Or he did believe noory had some potential. I don't think Art was (or is, for that matter) worried about another being better than him. I do think he was ready to leave, had enough money, a new life, a new place to keep him busy. From my point of view, I think Art wanted C2C to continue to be a thriving show. He could always lay claim to being the originator of something stellar. Instead he has to qualify how good the show was before even starting to inform that C2C was his baby.

And I didn't really give a shit about my investors and partners.  Like I always say - use someone elses money.

Geoge sure seems like someone that wants desperately to be rich and well known - it doesn't really matter doing what - and is persistant in finding people that allow him to talk his way into different ventures where he hopes to rely on others doing the work.  Having no discernable talent or skill, he's either decided effort on his part isn't going to accomplish a thing, or he just refuses to put in the work. 

For example, how hard would it have been to address a few of the things so many people have complained about during these past 10 years?  But he's done absolutely nothing to improve - just the opposite.  Really have to wonder why.

I think this as well.  From his comments I'd say because he did want it to thrive:

"...There was a time that I did not want to compete with Coast because I had no wish to destroy what I built, Premiere has almost managed to change my mind about that..."

George has stunk it up to the point Art knows it's hopeless.  If Art isn't PO'ed, he at least must be saddened.

"He gets it."  I always thought Art meant the Snorge figured out real early that those in power care ONLY for the bottom line.  Hense, the info-mercial "guests" who pop up quite frequently.   

[NoMoreNoory]

Is it possible George is genuinely rattled by Art's announcement? He seemed even more than usually appalling last night. Some of his atrocities have already been catalogued, but the first hour was quite breathless.
The 'hemmeratoomerastroke' that afflicted Ariel Sharon has been posted: can anyone find and post the clip of him trying to wrap the forked tongue around the name of the retiring Secretary Of State? It seemed to come out as Hilurrr Clinn'nnn (11:35 on YouTube). And, btw, the discussion of Hillary's ageing over four years in post - including his description of her now as 'horrible' - was just disgusting. Introducing Richard Heinberg, he managed to somehow turn the title of his book which is, quite simply The End Of Growth, into an extraordinary combination of nonsense that sounded like 'Energy Over Developmenanananandelusion Of Growth'.
Mitch Battros' daughter just made the skin crawl and is best passed over in silence, but how about the point at which he carefully read out The Numbers Lady's phone number on air? Glynis mumbled something away from her phone. George did his annoyed 'Where did you go?' thing and Glynis told him she was just putting a Do Not Disturb on the number he had just read out on the air. What would he be thinking doing that? Sheer unprofessionalism.
Why is he suddenly obssessed with Ariel Sharon and his comma toes? Glynis actually corrected his pronunciation, which prompted sNoory to try to correct her pronunciation of Sharon's name. Nothing to do with pronunciation, in fact, just one of Doughboy's ludicrous accents which just involved rolling every available 'r'.
Was Glynis screwing with George? From early on, she seemed to be deliberately pausing every time he mumbled a non sequitur while she was talking. When he offered Sharon's birth date as 'Feb' 26, she asked him to repeat it, which he did, but she came back with 'What was that first bit?'. He did manage to spit a February out in response to that, but resorted to the short form shortly afterwards when informing us that he has a 'major speech' to deliver in the 'second week of Feb'. Major speech? From a man who can't pronounce the months of the year? Who does he think he is, anyway, with his major speeches? The fucking President?
The call from Joe who was Gerald was great. Noory still saying 'Good luck, Joe' at the end of the call, which led Glynis to correct him. It just seemed to go on and on and on.
Also claimed that calls are unscreened! 'We find out where you're calling from, but we don't screen you.'


It was a never-ending stream of incompetence, creepiness and hilarity at a quite extraordinary level, even by his miserable standards.


Conclude your talks soon, Art, and put us out of our misery. GEORGE NOORY SUCKS

I think he does too.  After all, he built a brand--the show wasn't just about him.  I don't see him as the type who would simply build something up in order to cash out later on. He probably thought Noory would be a "good enough" replacement in no danger of eclipsing him.  That would effectively allow him to stop caring about the show as such and just enjoy his retirement.  I wonder if all the nitpicking we do on these forums has helped fuel his discontent over the state of things now.

Ziznak beat ya to the chase on this one. Check out the photoshop thread. You get an A for effort though...What me snoory?

[ufogadfly]

I missed the beginning of the show... and now I'm physically holding myself back from turning this crap off... somebody PLEASE shut Gylnnis McCUNTS up... she's so damn annoying

What's REALLY frightening is the thought that she may actually believe this crap.

MADLY HANDSOME

[PB the Deplorable]

With George telling people that asked about Art that 'he's winding down, folks', I wonder how much that piised Art off.   To me that was shocking for George to talk about Art like he he was off in a home somewhere.

Typical Noory classlessness, poor use of the language, and unaware of how his comments are percieved.
