George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Morgus]

lol...Beltzer finally shut down a sNoory interruption

good for him, Beltzer sounds so intelligent and witty, in total contrast to Noory's stupid side comments and attempts to interrupt...

[GluttonForPunishment]

Does anyone know the bumper music that just played?   

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Who's being interviewed here?  Noory or Belzer?  I'm starting to get confused.

[Morgus]

Noory is even more interruptive tonight I think because his guest Beltzer is sitting next to him in the studio compared to other guests calling in on the phone.
At least tonight Noory can't blame (or cause) phone problems with the guest at some point...

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Does anyone know the bumper music that just played?

I think they played Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult a little while ago.  Is that the one you meant?

[morphiaflow]

I just hate that another celeb I genuinely like seems to be sympathetic to the Noory/Jones cause. Not that I'll dislike Belzer for it or anything. "The Groove Tube" alone will forever cement him in the comedy firmament. Still, hate the taint...

[WOTR]

       Even Noory doesn't deserve that fate.

         But...ok, who's hiding the gun in the bathroom for me?

Too clean... I will stash a shot piece of piano wire and a couple lengths of wood to help with leverage.  Trust me- you will feel better with the garrote than a gun.


So, I see that Reddit has apologized both publicly and privately to the family of Sunil Tripathi (the Brown university student) for their mistake.  It would be nice if George even bothered to acknowledge his mistake.

[sleeplessinca]

This could have been such a good interview except all of Snoorey's looka-me-isms.  Could someone tell him to STFU?  So what, he had everything figured out at 13. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We've heard.  Everyone is impressed.  Now interview your guest, Snoorz.  Anyone catch Snoorey's sneaky self promotion of his dopey internet show?  So lame.  That was a good question when someone asked who exactly is being interviewed.



BTW, whatever happened to Snoorey's campaign to help the children?  He seems to have forgotten about his Martissa that he used to be so proud of.  She's probably out in Billy Mummy's cornfield with the Golden Retriever.

George's interview style:  Mimic the guest.  Agree with everything.  Thinks it makes him sound "smart" to the guest. 

Hey, how about Richard Belzer as the new host?  The guy DOES get it!

I just recently listened to the Phillip Carlo interviews.  After that watched on YouTube the three interviews HBO did with Richard Kuklinski.  He's got a story about a guy that stopped to piss outside of a bar.... this post reminded me of that....

[Rico999]

Well, first thing out of Snoory's mouth was that he spent nine years in the Navy - go figure...

Nine years in the RESERVES!  No sea duty either.  Believe me if he did, he'd talk it up.  "I was on the USS ____ " and he'd tell you all about his cruises, etc. 

And he went in the Navy just when everyone (including me) was getting out!  They were offering huge reenlistment bonuses with few takers.   No one was going into the service in the late Vietnam years unless they HAD to.

At that time they were accepting for OCS anyone with a pulse and an English degree.   Even a schlump from Detroit named Noory.

He was probably rejected for regular Navy.  Oh, and why do just nine years?  Why not go for 20 and make rank -- LCDR at least -- and get that pension money?   I'll bet he got passed over for promotion twice and had to leave because of it....

George (sounding very excited):  "You wrote a book about Elvis?"


Uh...not exactly

You forgot about interrupting as often as possible to show you already knew everything he was going to say.  Sadly I think Belzer is a bit busy to do this gig.  Maybe as a guest host? 


Oh brother.Now Snoory is bragging about interviewing Jimmy Hoffa before he disappeared.

... Oh brother.Now Snoory is bragging about interviewing Jimmy Hoffa before he disappeared.

George seems to have a lot of stories about things that can't be easily disproven.

I think Belzer would make a great guest host.

We've begged for sNoory to become engaged with his guests, and tonight we heard he's even more of a disaster when he does.  Obviously, with the guest in the studio, George couldn't Google and surf the net, watch Internet porn, or whatever he does when he drifts away.  Instead, he showed us what an asshat he can be with all that interrupting, talking over the guest, trying to show he knew everything. What a disaster.

And his story about his English teacher coming into the classroom crying after having seen Walter Cronkite report President Kennedy's death- I highly doubt that story.  His teacher would have been in the classroom, not off somewhere watching television.  At the time, televisions were not common in schools.  In my school, by about 10-minutes after the assassination, they were piping the radio news broadcast through the school intercom.  A large part of the delay was waiting for the old tube amplifiers to warm up.

I was in the third grade in Cody, Wyoming. It was lunch time. We had just returned to class after lunch recess. the teacher entered the room and tearfully told us the president had been killed. TV's may have been rare but radios were common. There was no playing of the radio over the PA system. Just a teary eyed school teacher telling us to go home early.


Richard Belzer is to comedy as Lou Reed is to rock. Although Belzer leans favorably towards the liberal. He also has a penchant for conspiracies as many polemists do.

[WOTR]

Was it my imagination or did Noory start talking about the recent bombings by saying that he thought that it was just the two misguided brothers and not a conspiracy.  Two minutes later he starts agreeing with the guest and a minute after that he tells us that he believes that the brothers might have been mules (or some such word...) who were carrying bombs somebody else made.


Does he have NO convictions, NO opinion that is not handed to him?  Can he not keep his well thought out position for more than 30 seconds if somebody disagrees with him?  No wonder he knew everything as a child- he just incorporates EVERY opinion of every person he has ever talked to and decided that he held that opinion at the time- even if it was for 30 seconds before it changed again.  As of now, he believes that the brothers acted alone and as agents for somebody else within one evening.  In 20 years he will regale us with the story of his knowing from the moment it happened that it was somebody else pulling the strings (unless, of course, his guest disagrees with that position.)


Perhaps rather than stating his belief before asking the guests opinion he should just ask upfront what the guest believes so he knows what to claim as his opinions and beliefs in these cases.  What a spineless, useless, empty vessel our Jorch is...

"Beeyond Beeleef".....did he also mention his "Presidential appointment."  :   Noory would chase Cliff Clavin away from a bar.

[ItsOver]

LMH is on tonight for her monthly appearance.  Maybe she'll get some good Noory "slap down" moments.  At least Noory can catch-up on his sleep while she drones on about "high strangeness."

YES! I was yelling at the radio when he flip-flopped. And he did flip-flop, hard... As soon as Belzer said he smelled a conspiracy, George suddenly did, too. What a douche. What a horrible, horrible douche.

Richard Belzer did get it last night. And he took over the show because of how weak Noory is as a host, a  radio personality, and a human being.


I didn't realize Belzer would be as good as he was, and I tuned in late. So I may go back and listen to the full interview. Though when I was listening, Belzer was handling callers and thanking them for phoning in, conversing well, telling one caller "what is your question." .. You know. Like a host would.
Meanwhile Noory was trying to be loud when he would repeat the last two words of every sentence Belzer said. At one point Noory said that Belzer's book is now zooming up the Amazon top ten list. Belzer said, maybe sarcastically, 'because of you,' or something like that. i was half sleeping at that point.


If Art would have been interviewing Belzer, this would have been another classic.
With Noory,  he will not make it a classic because in doing so he will forever be remembered as the mumbling moustache with a really smart person.

Early oh George used to get all huffy and insist 'you (the listeners) don't know what I think'.  Meaning he just brought the guests on and let them have their say without challenging them because 'the show isn't about yellin' an' screamin' '.  He nearly always seemed to agree with the guest, and maybe in his mind he was just trying to be polite and provide a forum (giving him the benefit of the doubt for a moment).

But later... either he's gotten much lazier, cares even less now than ever, has given up completely on providing a quality show, or his brain disease is much more advanced, but at some point it bacame clear he didn't really know much about anything and wasn't interested in learning.  So it was whoever he talked to or whatever he heard last.

Add in  a massive ego and we get juxtaposed statements like 'I just get physics', and 'I think there might be other solar systems out there'.

Last week a few idiots - Barney Frank, Adam Carolla, and Bob Woodward, to name a few - decided the Boston bombing 'wasn't that big a deal'.  Right afterwards along comes George Noory to tell us 3 dead and 180 wounded was insufficient carnage for him to count as terrorism.

But like what they say about the weather in some places - if you don't like George's opinion on something, just wait a few minutes.

The only constant is if you disagree with him, you're a 'hater'.

[b_dubb]

Noory is a low functioning baboon. Low functioning. It's a stain on America that this fool has a paid job

[sleeplessinca]

If nothing else, having a smart, in-studio guest seems to have charged this thread back up when it was losing steam. 

[Girlthulhu]

Did you guys catch Jorch asking the first guest if he'd feel comfortable leaving an infant with one of the SEAL dogs? I thought that the guest's response was very good (something along the lines of "Don't ever put a dog in a situation like that."), but Jorch was probably disappointed by the lack of mangled baby stories.

Richard Belzer was great. Political leanings aside, he was an excellent guest because he was intelligent, articulate, and funny. He has a zeal for conspiracies, and agree with them or not, Belzer's obvious enthusiasm and extensive knowledge really made for a good show. Unfortunately, Jorch absolutely could not allow that to happen.

Seriously, how is he still on the air at this point? He practically had a "classic" show handed to him on a silver platter, and he still managed to make it marginally listenable. It's like he's actively trying to fuck up Coast as much as humanly possible. Maybe it's a conspiracy.

[Juan]

I think my favorite Belzer moment was when a caller was droning on with a long story, and the caller said "I'll get to the point quickly."  And Belzer replied, "No, you won't."  And of course the caller did not.

[sleeplessinca]

Yeah - the baby question was a follow up to the Seal saying how the human Seals could be warriors one minute and gentle and loving the next - that being having a wide range of behavior appropriate to the moment. 


Where did Snoory take it?  Leave a baby with a dog. You knew about quantum mechanics and cosmology at 5 and you don't know that?


It was right up there with having the dogs jump with their own parachutes.  It's very interesting learning how they would jump with the dogs but that was absurd.  He knew the JFK assassination was an inside job but I guess he couldn't quite figure out an intelligent way to probe the point.


How do they keep resigning the idiot?

[MV/Liberace!]

YES! I was yelling at the radio when he flip-flopped. And he did flip-flop, hard... As soon as Belzer said he smelled a conspiracy, George suddenly did, too. What a douche. What a horrible, horrible douche.

i really do hope george reads this forum.

[UnscreenedCaller]

i really do hope george reads this forum.

All things considered including Noory's intelligence and his involvement with his own show,  it'd be more likely that Tommy reads the forum to him while warming up his pizza rolls.


It's moments like last night with Weathervane Jorch that I realize how much better tube show would be without him. Belter proved the point. Jorch should apply for the position of second banana to one of his conspiracy show flunkies  like Jones and let someone with functioning brain cells take over C2C.
