George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[PB the Deplorable]

Ever since catching George's "appeal" the other night asking for listeners to subscribe to his piece of shit "Beyawn Baleef" show because as soon as the number of subscribers hits 9,000 he'll "be able" to set up that "foundation" that will allow him to "help needy members of the Coast to Coast family...

... Once we reach 10,000 subscribers (my goal is 50,000), I plan to set up a foundation and help out needy Coast listeners...who write in. It's the honor system but I really want to help. What do you think? ... 

I think this is going to disappear faster than the Coast to Coast 'weight loss' program

-NOORY SUCKS-

No shit? That is beyond amazing. I mean, really. Let me get this straight. Noory wants to set up some sort of welfare system supported by listeners of HIS show, with the recipients being HIS show's listeners with Noory eventually setting himself up to look like some kind of food stamp Jesus? This is the craziest fucking thing I have ever heard! And what are these unfortunate bastards going to be receiving from him? A pallet of survival rations and a fricking McDonalds application?? Fucking unreal.
What do you want to bet that most of the people signing up for this crap are nothing more than the poor people looking to get the odds of his "goal" so the Noory cheese can get on it's way. Probably 90% of any future subscribers are people like^. Not to be a dick, but that is a damn selfish thing to do. Those people don't have the money to spend on stuff like that, hoping to get a prize in the end. Most of them will probably never get on the survival cheese list, and end up with nothing and worse off than they were before. Just my opinion.

[Agent : Orange]

More than anything else, I simply don't get George, or at least the George of recent years.

Being curious and inquiring goes with hosting a paranormal show. I actually believe George is that, yet for some reason can't or won't bring it to bear on the show--something has shut down.  It just doesn't make sense. Early in the show after he took it over, he was engaged and stimulating, if not really outstanding at it.  2004 is when I started listening in earnest. I figured out very soon that I preferred Art Bell, but George was listenable. (shrug)   

Just a random thought, but it might tie in. Early on George pumped the 2012 thing heavily, and in recent years let it dry out quite a bit. Now that the date has come and gone, leaving many guests flat on their faces, has George just given up? Art went through a similar period after 9/11, the shows pre-2001 have a spark and energy that were missing after the event. I think the reason is obvious, after talking about " the future", remote viewing and prophecy for so long he was just put off when none of that stuff helped and it didn't pan out. The show took a significant change in tone after 9/11. Is there an analogous effect occurring with the show now? Of course George has been phoning it in for a long time, but maybe since he has the same roster of guests appearing he's turned a corner on the whole thing in some way?

George appearing on the Coast website in a P90X t-shirt was a laughably stupid and short-sighted promotion. Can you think of a worse spokesman for a fitness program?
The next logical step is getting him to hock karaoke machines.

It also seems that George has really been trying to cash in on this stuff lately, with subscriptions, Beyond Belief and other somesuch. Like maybe the convention circuit is not paying the bills anymore. Have these kinds of weird promotional activities increased in recent years or is it just me?

[CrabbyOld Bat]

Now, that I have George's "intentions" in writing, I fully intend to compose an email to George addressing how this whole thing smells like nothing more than a cheap attempt to take advantage of people's desire to want to "help" others, just so he can sell more subscriptions to his piece of shit "tv show", all with the intent of putting more money in his own greasy pockets...

It's definitely self-serving no matter how you look at it. I don't recall during which C2C show it was*, but Snorge admitted part of the money he gets is going to his kids. I'd say it's safe to assume he's keeping a good chunk for himself as well or else he'd have announced otherwise (just to pat himself on the back even harder).


*Pretty sure it was broadcast shortly (within 2 weeks?) after he initially announced his....er....generous intentions.  :

His kids!?!  His grown up 30 and 40-something kids?

Are they worse in their professions than he is in his, and actually need money?

Oh wait, it's George Noory, the Lyin' King.  This would likely be news to his kids.  Never mind

[CrabbyOld Bat]

I hate to admit it, but for me it's become a kind of dark entertainment.  Listening to the verbal gaffes, dopey responses,  disjointed topic changes, etc. has become a twisted recreation in itself.

Same here. I don't always listen but when I do it's just for laughs -- at him, not with him -- or to send him annoying FastBlasts and such. It's immature, I know, but I'm not ready to grow up.

[CrabbyOld Bat]

My thoughts exactly. But based on the success level of his previous business ventures, I imagine they're just hoping he doesn't lose their entire inheritence (if there is any).

Why would he need to do P90X for as much as a whole week when obviously all he had to do was a little p-shopping to lean up those love handles and tone up those nasty hanging under-guns?

No shit? That is beyond amazing. I mean, really. Let me get this straight. Noory wants to set up some sort of welfare system supported by listeners of HIS show, with the recipients being HIS show's listeners with Noory eventually setting himself up to look like some kind of food stamp Jesus? This is the craziest fucking thing I have ever heard!

Not only is it crazy, but it's about as well thought out as Noory's idea to put that P-90X picture on the C2C Website... I mean, think about it... If George's true motivation/intention/goal in all of this was "to set up a foundation to help members of the coast to coast 'family' who are in need" (because we all know how much St. George just likes to help his fellow members of the human race), what kind of sense would it make for him to ask 9,000 people to pay $10 a month to subscribe to some website, with the rationale that said website would then pay him a small percentage of the revenue generated, which Noory would lead us to believe would then be put into this "foundation" and used to help needy coast to coast listeners, etc. etc. etc.

I mean, does that make ANY fucking sense to anyone but the Nooron? If he REALLY wanted to help people, and that was his true motivation, he could EASILY just set up a non-profit or philanhtropic foundation, and ask those same 9,000 people to make a $10 donation to any such foundation directly. That way you would cut out the middle man (i.e. GaiamTV) and allow the majority money to go towards actually helping people instead of going to fill corporate coffers. But the reason George wouldn't want to do it this way is because if he did, the money would go into some sort of trust account and there would have to be trustees in charge of disbursing funds, aboard of directors, various levels of oversight, required public filings, etc... Which, basically means that at the end of the day, there's nothing in it for Ol' Georgie, so he figures why bother?

My Dad used to say "You can't shine a turd"...  Well Noory is most certainly one big, huge, heaping, stinking, steaming human turd...

-Noory Sucks-               

[WOTR]

I am about to do something very out of character for me... I am about to revoke my last post.  Oh, George still sucked- the guest is still a self serving, money grubbing charlatan.  However, there really is no shame it that when you are on Coast.  He did not say that people should quit their drugs- he did not even claim a cure to cancer.  He simply said that people should go to his site and he would attempt to cure them with his bullshit-fu.  I think of some of the hucksters and crazies that Art had on and figure that even though this guy profits if you buy his system or take his class that he was relatively harmless.  So he cures the world and gives it energy by swinging a .45 on a chain- there are worse things to claim. 

Alright, that was hard and I will have to watch it in the future.  Noory still sucked at the interview and should still grab another couple pizza rolls on the way home tonight.

[Longbow]

Godspeed, Hal. You are one of the good guys.

I do not believe it has anything to do with money. Noory wants whatever path optimizes the amount of attention he gets.

Why only set up a foundation, when he could get people to watch his show AND get praise for being a Good Person?

I wonder if he eventualy figured out most of the stuff talked about on the show was utter bullshit? Mabey he started with the idea that all those phycics and remote viewers would actualy predict something? Mabey one of those disasters would actualy happen? Mabey the Aliens really would show up when they were "suppost too".
If he was a beliver in it at the begining, I wonder if he just burned out and figured out most of it's not real.

[jinwicked]

Astounding insight about Tarot cards from Noory, "It's images. It's images."

[mombird3]

I cannot believe that people would sign up to hear the same old stuff that the C2C show has. Why would I want to pay for it? An utter waste of money for tired and stupid guests and a wanna-be Johnny Carson. He is not any good at it and he looks so fake on the picture of the cheesy set on the show.
As for the charity for coasties, I think George will find a way to pocket the money. Somehow it does not seem legit.

The boys were talking about Ingo Swann's passing and discussed his ill health leading up to his death. George blurted out his declining health was like a "snowball" rolling downhill, while another of the men taken aback by this abrupt lack of respect said he went out gracefully, or words to that effect. The boiling hot pizza rolled tongue knows how to pay homage to the man.   :

There have been a couple of times George decided to 'honor' guests that had died by having 'tribute' shows.  After teasing the show all week to be broadcast on Friday, he basically shoved in a few random tapes from shows they'd been on and checked out.  I really don't know if George is truly this clueless as to what is acceptable in society, or if he just absolutely does not give a hoot no matter what.

I guess Ingo wasn't a regular and thus doesn't rate a tribute show George Noory style.

[valdez]

...I guess Ingo wasn't a regular and thus doesn't rate a tribute show George Noory style.

...The boiling hot pizza rolled tongue knows how to pay homage to the man.   :

     A very crappy tribute (with Paul H. smith and Tom McNear) to Ingo Swann.  I learned nothing about him.  Where was he born?  Did he have kids?  Where did he live?  What's with the weird name?  Basic stuff.  Yet George manages to jam some phone calls into the tribute.  And at the end of the Trish and Rob MacGregor segment on abductions, Rob mentions that there may be 30 million abductees in this country.  That's a big number worthy of some comment and reflection, but George just goes to the next call.  I think this obsession with calls (well documented here at the Compendium) goes beyond laziness.  I think it's a numbers thing.  Perhaps a certain number of calls taken per show earns George a "good boy."  George also said  he's "really learned to appreciate" Bob Dylan.  Can we appreciate him beyond "Blowing in the Wind" ?  There's a lot of other materiel out there, George.  Play it sometime.  And I think tonight is the 50th time this year that George has mentioned his aunt and mentor, Shafica Karagulla.  George, just do a show on her already and get it over with.  You know you want to.

I got a little laugh when petrochemical engineer Noory observed that crude oil was too "sludgy" to go directly into a gas tank.   

[Meanandnasty]

And the company loves him.  He is controllable, draws in nitwits and makes it easy for everyone to slack off.  The people responsible for putting this dipshit at the helm don't have to answer for their slothfulness this way.  They only need so many sheeple buying their shit to do well.


The show is a no brainer for the desperate.  When u do want to tune in for a good guest u can't help but be infuriated at this babbling excuse of a talk show host and therein lies the true shame.  It' a circus with the numbers lady, ufo phil and the many other hack jobs, the ones drawing in the Noory fans.  It's the guests to be be noticed that suffer by having to endure and ignore Goonoory who prem rad does not give a shit about.  How could they if they've hired Goonoory to interview them? 


This Goonoory mofo is their windup toy.  The show isn't about worthiness because somebody as a worthy host may not want to perform like such a shill; it's about the freak show and how much popcorn and elephant ears they can sell!

It's Slacker day at the network!  He has a key windup in his back, he comes in they stick it in his back and wind for twelve hours.    Take it out you don't have a soul.

Spot on. Did you hear him directly cut off Ramon/Raymon the other night when he wanted to tell a story? "Hold off on that and let's take some calls." I've never seen a radio host do that. You're right Valdez, he must have a call quota.

Noory sucks!

Maybe PremRat has implemented that ISO 9000 or whatever-number-it-is-now crap on The Nooron.  "Must take at least 4 calls an hour during guest time.  Special bonus points for slobbering, stupid calls or Noory-provided sound effects during the call."

Noory sucks!

I've never understood the urgency to get to calls.  Except that George isn't prepared and maybe has no more cue cards.  They make it sound like the listeners will get upset if they can't ask questions, but what were the odds of getting through when there is a good host or guest - I have never even tried to call in and was never 'upset' that I didn't get on to ask a question. 

Who cares if Ian or whoever only gets to 5 callers instead of 20 (those 15 people are nothing compared to the total listening audience, why cater to them - and I'd rather have 1 good caller than 20 having just enough time to say 'hi').  With a good host the callers are almost always the worst part of the show.

Even when Art was host, when he had a good guest on I didn't want to hear callers until Art pretty much had every question he had answered.

George is such a hack, alwasy getting it wrong when he tries to emulate Art Bell.

If ever there has been evidence of Noory's narcissism and his stupidity, this is it. What  a hare-brained idea. He hasn't sent 10 minutes thinking through the headaches his ego is about to hand him.

[Stranger929]

I work form home, usually nights since I'm a creative and we tend to do that. So I listen to radio programs continuously as I work. Well I was going through an old sketch book I have here, from 2011, and happened upon a quote I wrote down amongst the mess of sketchings and doodles. I had forgotten about it but apparently I thought it so ludicrous when I heard it that I had to write it down for exactly this purpose! It was from 3/17/2011 and after a little searching I found out that the guest was Michio Kaku. They were talking towards the end of the program I believe and I heard this Nooryism "There could be many multi-verses out there couldn't there?" Well no shit sherlock. I vaguely recall hearing that and thinking this schmuck has a firm grasp on the obvious.

It's always amusing and a bit painful to listen to Snoory interview Michio. You could hear Michio just barely able to contain himself listening to the stupid shit Snoory would say but I have noticed that he learned to quickly talk down to George and take control of the interviews.

After finding that random quote, I had to share with the people that I know feel the same pain I do.

[ShayP]

I just started listening to the podcast from last night's show.  One of the initial guests stated that you can't put crude oil in your car.  We all know that.  Noory responded "Yeah...it's too sludgy."  Fuck me running.
