George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Uncle Duke]

I seem to recall some tv series and the movie "The Cable Guy" in which the premise was, basically, a child who was raised only on tv and so all source of reference (like with Norry) are from film and tv programs. The series and that movie though was intentionally funny and better scripted. 

I'm sure if it was the Detroit childhood per se but more likely the child snatching and killing story. Norry really perked up and engaged when "3 men in a white van with a bat" were kidnapping kids and the case was never solved. Norry even claimed "he had a feeling" and put the story first on air- despite the station manager admonishments that "we don't do missing children" stories. But it turned out Norry's "instincts" were right and that gang of kidnappers was never caught and all local news started carrying the story.

That's the premise of "Being There."

That's the premise of "Being There."

Indeed. Great movie. "I like to watch." Haha. The show I was trying to recall was "Dream On" which was a HBO show in the early 90s. Apparently there was also a pilot in 1989 called "What's Alan Watching?" in which the premise is a guy who views everything through tv. So Norry's concept/problem is not a new idea. Just more poorly done.

Also a frequent Simpsons reference as Homer often mistakes old TV shows with the actual memories of his life.

Noory's regular callers are getting thru again right now, here is Corny...

George loves the open lines, most of the Sad Pack got in last night, most of them giving shut outs to each other, it's become a family according to George, a family where every member's age has surpassed their IQ. He can't even carry on a fresh conversation with his regular callers, it's groundhog day, he has the exact same conversation with each of them he's had 50 times before. Some lady called in and her contribution was telling us she lived on the border of Alabama and she enjoys Annie from Alabamy, well surprise surprise, George had Annie on another line and had the two old bats talk to each other -  it was as awkward and painful as a colonoscopy and lasted all of 30 seconds, poor Annie didn't get her own call in because George cut her off lol he explained that he didn't know how to work the equipment.

Typical Noory, Cornelius called in, George asked him about his hospital bills and assured ol' Corny that he was going to help him with those bills. Of course Noory didn't mean he was actually to pay Corny's bills himself or a part of them. Ol' George told Corny to talk to his producer and she'd set up a GoFundMe for him and George would give people the link to it on air. What a shmuck. IF that GoFundMe does happen I'll be real interested to see if Noory contributes anything. He likes to brag about giving random homeless people 20 bucks, let's see if he gives Corny a few hundred bucks.

The average age of Coast listeners is even older than I thought. Barry told George he's 77 and another caller told his story about encountering a UFO in 1950 when he was in the 12th grade - 17 in 1950 would make him 87.

And of course George put a ribbon on another masterpiece of radio dreck by slipping out the door with 20 minutes left in the show as an interview with a rock drummer I've heard several times before played out the remainder of the show.

I don't think it's possible for a human being to do as bad a job at his job than Noory does at his.

Ha!  Thanks for the summary of last night’s unintentionally funny, slow-mo train wreck.  Jorch should dedicate his next up, soon-to-be-cancelled, live event “invasion” to Corny.  Then when it’s cancelled, Jorch can sigh and remark to Tommee on-air about how it was going to be for Corny, too.  “So sad, Tommee!  Oh, well we tried.  Next up, Annie in Alabama...”  :

It's sooo awkward. The "actors" sound embarrassed to be in it.

If I could find a magazine/site that would print it, and assuming I had a means of contacting/interviewing them, I'd do an article on the "The Regular Callers of Coast to Coast AM."  Who I would write about and to what level of detail would obviously be a function of word count and number of them that would talk to me, but getting the likes of Annie, Corny, Mike, Thomas, et.al. to talk shouldn't be a problem.  I already have an outline in my mind.

I noted George saying he was going to meet Mike next week in Boulder.  Remember a few weeks back Barry let slip George was considered hiring Mike for some job on his TV show.  Could be a big announcement in the coming weeks.  On the plus side, if he's on the payroll he might be permitted to call in on C2C.

Although she didn't discuss it specifically last night, Louise has talked about meeting her soulmates from previous lives.  She's talked most about finding Mark Antony, I think the guy was a tennis pro in CA.  That got me thinking, if you are a guy and some reasonably attractive woman tells you you are her forever lover from thousands of years ago, would you put up with the crazy for the sex that would inevitably come with such a situation?

I listened to Knapp last night, both guests were true crime/mobster subjects. Just so nice to hear an imbecile free night of Coast. What Noory has done to the show is an abomination, the wall to wall  quack medicine salesmen  and  woo peddling housewives is Noory's legacy.

I have no doubt Art Bell's last words as he lay dying on the floor were 'I can't fucking believe that no talent piece of shit George Noory is going to outlive m.............'

That has a ding to it, Norry and the Sad Pack, instead of a Rat Pack.

I so enjoyed George Knapp this weekend, especially the crime stories on Saturday night. 

[CronkitesGhost]

George tells his guest that he also had an Out of Body Experience when he was 11 years old and it changed and shaped his future. So it would seem he's blaming his OBE for making him the idiot he became.

Ha!  So Jorch was having OBE’s and reading “Chariots of the Gods?” years before it was published.  Sure you were, Jorch.

[CronkitesGhost]

Shit I wasn't paying attention but Walt Da Atheist pissed off George again. I presume he started up again with the Jews - George snapped at him 'We're not talking about that - stay on the beam old timer' and gone. not sure if 'old timer' was the exact term, it was 'old *something*.

The second guest is a complete sham, good natured old guy, but he's a fraud, not even good pseudo-science. George introduced him as a university professor - lol as the guy went along with his biographical history his impressive academic credentials amount to teaching English as a Second Language in China - a job that doesn't even require a college degree I don't think.

I've heard his OBE story a few times - he was floating above his bed watching himself below. probably a made up story to give him some street cred with the paranormal crowd.

Walt this time was talking about blacks being too paranoid over slavery ancestors, he referred to Eddie Murphy being successful by spoofing slavery.
Noory cut him off and said "thats not what we are talking about tonight, stay on topic old boy!"

I don't find it plausible that Snoory was actually paying attention. I bet it was an audio cart drop-in from Central Command Authority.

[Juan]

During one particularly boring caller I wondered how about how awful the callers who don’t make it past Tommee Must be.

I wasn't paying much attention so missed this. Was mowing and sorting out some stuff in the garage but usually Walt's voice perks me up because he always will grumble about something and especially after his "desse Joos" comments with Norry, so I wonder if iHate Radio edits the show before they put it out on Insider replay/podcast? I'm not an Insider but I guess 'sources' are because they don't have commercials or bumpers.

Of course, Art used to talk about his OBE, in enough detail to make it seem believable.  Snorge is rarely believable with his usual BS stories.  It reminds me of when he first took over Coast and was trying to push how he was such a great cat lover, no doubt because Art was so into his cats.  Then he started pedaling the story about a pet dog, conveniently when one of his sponsors was Purina dog food. :  Snorge is such a shameless fraud, he makes used car salesmen look great.

Actually, I think Tommy is screening out bright, articulate callers ( as few as they may be) because he knows George could not handle them... the same way George cuts off interesting callers, and lets the boring idiots drone on. Thomas is the highest level of "genius" George can converse with.

Didn't it come after his death his UFO sighting story was phony?

Wow, look who's suddenly hazy and mysteriously uninformed about certain kinds of details all of a sudden.

You're way more adorable than my real uncle was. He wasn't related to me either. Do you drive around in a Cadillac with a go-cup filled with some kind of iced beverage? I'm just curious. I'm not asking for a friend.

Nothing that mysterious Jack, I pretty much gave up on BellGab for a while both after Bell left MitD and his death due to all the unsavory stuff being posted here.  I checked a few threads every so often, but avoided the feeding frenzy for the most part. There was a lot I missed, but I thought I remembered reading somewhere after his death it came out some of his more noteworthy C2C calls/guests/stories were scams/shams.  Simply asking if anyone remembers if his UFO sighting was one of those.

And no, I drive a Hyundai with a diet Cherry Pepsi in cans being the drink of choice.

[At the stroke of midnight]

A charlatan 2fer tonight. Will skip first guest, but the second might provide a laugh or two.
