George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[General Johnson Jameson]

LOLOLOLOL HAHAHAHAHA
Noory, you fucking dumbass.
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na
Hey-hey-hey..GooooooodByeeeee

     Kathy Baker's near death story was interesting, right up until George decided to ask questions.  Allowing "J.C." to interact with callers was a disaster, those folks had stories to tell.  The whole "guy with the NASA safe" thing was weird.  George cuts him off, says nothing to the listeners, and goes directly to the dumb, overplayed, "Morgus gets hit in the face" bit.  Huh?  What happened?  I guess Truth Seeker will bring us the truth unless...well...maybe not so much.  Worst show ever?  Depends.  Play the ufo phil song, he left out the back door.

I like to entertain  myself with the idea that he is picked up by the disc and is whisked away until Sunday.  It is just too unworldly reading all of the comments. 

[Lovely Bones]

What happened to the caller opening up the safe from NASA or whatever?  Just as he's opening it, it suddenly cuts to the pre-recorded Morgus bit.

I was totally lost on that, too.  Thought maybe I fell asleep and missed the safe opening. 

[Lovely Bones]

Worst. Show. Ever.

Shows about NDEs are always boring - all the experiences are pretty much the same.

Who could tell if this woman's story was boring or like all the rest?  That freaking excuse for a radio talk show host kept interrupting her narrative every 2.5 seconds with non sequiturs. 

I wanted to gag the fool.

You obviously haven't seen the evidence that links Noory to the price-gouging in the horsecock markets.

[General Johnson Jameson]

Now I am going to try to pick out paid actors vs. callers.  JC would be the first actor and the nervous garbage (and really poor script) on the safe guy tells me that he had at least two actors on tonight.  There were several callers going on about how great George is and giving him the perfect lead in to "I'm just here to bring out the truth" garbage that may well have been scripted. 

No shit? You think they are sneaking in paid actors to call in during open lines? I don't listen to King AssHat anymore so I cannot give an educated opinion on this. Although I am not surprised if they are hiring people to call into the show.

[stevesh]

I'm pretty sure the safe contained a lock of George Noory's gray hair, a tape of Ian Punnett's exclusive interview with D.B. Cooper and George Knapp's dignity.  How can a classy guy like Knapp continue to associate himself with this train wreck ?

[General Johnson Jameson]

Betcha he was like "there were dildos in the safe." And Noory couldn't handle a prank. I think Dan's calls drove him nuts.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Noory walking out the door and such. I bet you are right and somebody did make him pissy.

[Frys Girl]

I've never heard a radio host go on and on about how successful and great he or she is without some sinister reason behind it. George Noory must be really insecure. He is the mainstream media, whether he likes it or not. He doesn't advertise anything special. E foods direct can be replaced by cereal and gummy bears: things I can buy at the grocery store. Screw this show. Coast to Coast AM sucks. 'Cept for Ian and Knapp.

[TaoOfLuxLisbon]

Ian stopped phoning in after his little rambling incident a year or so ago. George couldn't give a shit what he does on his show.

[MrGreen]

Last night I got into bed about 11:15pm Pacific time and turned on coast.  It only took about 30 seconds for me to change the dial.  Noory is so bad it's amazing.  IMO Knapp should be the 5 day a week host.  He has better topics and does a better job as a host.  Most nights now I only listen to coast for a few minutes so I can get angry and blast GN, then I change it over to Ron and Fez since the replay is in the same time slot.  Ron Bennington has more talent and more knowledge in one finger then GN could ever come close to on his best night.  GN sucks...it's just that simple.  Knapp is the best and Ian is very good. How the weakest host got the most shows is beyond me.  Tonights show should be very good though with Ian. This is what C2C is about. Not the fear inducing BS that Noory spits out.

[Sidsel Roine]

Another thing that annoyed me about Friday's show was when a personal friend of George called in and they chatted for 6 or 7 minutes. Banal stuff about the granddaughter, he bought George tickets to a Lions game and are they gonna go this year. It was like listening to a private phone call between two friends. As far as entertaining radio goes, it was just death on-air.

I pick my wife up from work at 4:30 in the morning, so that 30 minutes or so is my Noory time. And Noory time is just as terrible as it sounds.

[Sidsel Roine]

And I will take this moment to post my Noory-isms:

1. Interviewing an astronomer type, of course I don't remember the guest names with George because I find a large majority of GN's shows to be interchangeably bland and forgettable. Anyway, George is asking this sharp guy about the solar system and drops this beauty on him:

"Could our sun....be dying?"

Not the dumbest question in the world, but the way George voiced it made it sound childish and ignorant. The guest paused for a long moment, and just said, "No." Whether he went into any more detail than that I don't remember, but he just shot it down with a flat negative.

2. I believe this was a show on Secret Societies. George and the guest are going through their rigmarole, and somehow Charles Manson comes up. The guest starts to elaborate on something about Manson and George just breaks in and interrupts, stumbling over his words.

"Now guest, I knew a prison guard who was in the prison with Manson, and he told me that this Manson guy was just CRAZY!"

Really George? Charles Manson was crazy? That was totally worth you talking over the guest to drop that startling revelation on the audience. It was like he found a topic that he had some second-hand knowledge of and couldn't wait to use it to appear in the know. Poor interviewing skills.

Noory IS an idiot, but...

I don't think he's THAT dumb, though every time I say this, I'm left wondering. In all seriousness, you must remember that he's asking "Canned" questions. Some of the questions he probably already knows the answers to, some of the questions he might not. I think what gets us all about Snoory is that he's a little too good at playing dumb not to be dumb. He does say some VERY stupid things that aren't scripted, so he's an idiot, but I think some of the Q/A stuff you have to remind yourself he's simply dramatizing.

[Scully]

... It was like he found a topic that he had some second-hand knowledge of and couldn't wait to use it to appear in the know. Poor interviewing skills.

I'm sure you've noticed that that happens all the time with George.  I've often wondered what kind of super-fast connection he has so Tommy can Google stuff a guest or caller has mentioned and flash it out to Doofus, who can't wait for them to finish their thought before he spits out important stuff like, "That happened in 1959, didn't it?"

If there were an award for Most Irritating Radio Interviewer in the World, there is absolutely no doubt who would ring that bell every year ...

Right up to reading last night that others no longer believed that JC was the original I had never given it much thought.  The combination of Georges "fake surprise", knowing that it was a replacement and knowing Coast is a Premiere show (Premiere having the fake caller service) has made me wonder.  I guess that after Premiere accidentally leaked that they have that service it has made me question political "call in" talk shows... why not C2C as well?  JC came from somewhere... if he is not the original, he has to be a paid actor.  If he is a paid actor, why not use others when convenient?  I can not think of a better way to entrench how good you are, how thoughtful you are and how your life long pursuit of the truth is all that matters than having a caller or two each night call to say exactly that.

The information "evidence" you found linking Preimere to a paid caller service just flat-out puts it past the point of speculation and conjecture and into the fervent reality slap in the face part of the chart.
How shady is that? For Preimere to have a service like that.
Now, whenever I hear those bullshit commercials where Noory is presented as the airwaves truth seeker/giver, I'm mixed emotions, somewhere between laughing my ass off and ripping the heads off small animals Pissed Off.

     Speaking of Zombies....I went and checked out the FF2 and Into Infinity for some possible insight (suspecting that they may have a direct line and /or members connected to the show) on the "NASA Safe Dump/Morgus Replay Incident" Friday night.  Their reaction?  Basically, "hey, it's Morgus!  Classic!"  One member (Into Infinity) who wasn't all that thrilled was asked to "...get in a jolly mood and enjoy Morgus."  Yeah.  If it ain't zombie time over there, it's "invasion of the body snatchers" for sure.


 

"C'mon....we've got to get to Coastgab before it's too late!"

Comes the dawn ... 

Color us "guilty," to an extent, at any rate.  We paid DanDan (well, Michael opened his wallet) to let Coast audiences know that Coastgab.com exists. 

I guess we didn't increase traffic here after that mention, but we got the mention. 

**Disclaimer: I know this isn't the same thing as paid callers, and even if it were, it wouldn't be a defense of Noory or PremRat. 

[George Drooly]

Another typically Nooronic verbal somersault from Friday's (?) show: "child pedophile". Eh?

The lack of traffic is probably due to the lack of listeners.

[punkinpie]

I just listened to the podcast.  The guy said "It's Howard Stern's BEEEEEEEEP (penis)"  Then you hear George say "Dump it." 

People care less about Howard Stern now than George, so I'm not sure what would possess someone to waste a golden opportunity to fuck with George with HS nonsense.

[fabucat]

I have been witnessing it for 10 years.  But i have never thought JC was for real..was not sure Art was in on it, but just knew he was a crank caller he could play with.  I even thought when i first heard him phil hendrie might be behind him.  Maybe as an inside joke with art.  But now when JC calls sNoory its not the least bit entertaining and clearly preplanned.  Would not be surprised many callers are paid and scripted.  This show is such a fraud.

Around 2006, "J.C." started harassing liberal talkers on Air America.  Randi Rhodes unfortunately couldn't handle it.  Hippie Thom Hartmann just rolled with it and Stephanie Miller really *loved* it.  There was a rumor on liberal message boards that J.C. was actually King of the Hill & Beavis & Butthead creator Mike Judge.  Judge did some of the voices on King of the Hill and B&B, and I personally detected a similarity.  The difference between Randi and the lib-talkers who *got* J.C. was that Hartmann and Steph are regular fans of C2C or at least have admitted to listening to it, lol.

[fabucat]

You know this JC is a fake.

And this is a new low tonight -- Noory trying to make people with sad stories about death talk to the JC character.  Now I've heard it all. 

I now realize the reason I still listen to C2C.  It's the same reason I watch Vietnamese State Television and revel in a soap opera about the Cong during the war, especially the scene when low-level party leaders eat dog during their secret meeting.  (I digress).

I love it when there's a train wreck on mass media.  That latest J.C. stunt was one of the best train wrecks evar.  So unintentionally hilarious that I really DID lol. 

I'm done with mourning the fact that GN isn't Art.  I might as well laugh.

But Art, what the f*ck are you waiting for?

[General Johnson Jameson]

Noory could never handle the first J.C. No way, not gonna happen.
Also thanks to the member that provided the information regarding the NASA box.

I suspect the original JC is Jim Ward, now Stephanie Miller's voice guy. He does an excellent Granny Clampitt, and various preacher-men, with strong overtones of JC.
