George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

Were you the "Canadian lady"? She took a few pauses to collect herself, and I thought that she might have been you, trying not to laugh.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

The guest just asked GN "who are they?" and he is probably getting dropped in the second half of the show.

[karios8]

Hey Dave/goons, nobody needs to call and crash the show, you're doing a good job yourself. Your own guest is mocking you.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

It sounds like this was a good guest.  I haven't been listening except to get the impression he's constantly calling George out on his bleefs.

[Nucky Nolan]

I suspect the last caller was a plant,  because he kept referring to the guest as "OUR  guest". he said it more than once.
IDK it just hit me as strange. wouldn't a caller say, YOUR guest  or,  THE guest?

Yeah, that's a weird way to phrase it. There was speculation that Premier uses more plants than a terrarium.

Type George Noory into google images and....



is this all the same person?

Holy... I think I just realized why he wanted that new contract with Premiere. They are supplying him with an unlimited supply of hair dye, and weekly toupée fittings.

[Nucky Nolan]

Type George Noory into google images and....



is this all the same person?

It reminds me of Saddam Hussein's stable of doubles. Noory must use them to divert his many stalkers.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

George (paraphrased):  If you were out in space could you detect the methane gas just coming from livestock or animals?

Guest:  Um... I don't know how you'd do that.

George:  Yeah, I think they have the equipment to do that.

Guest:  Mmm hmmm.  okay.

This sounds like a lot of the exchanges I'm hearing tonight.

[karios8]

Haha he is afraid to ask anymore questions and taking calls already. Also got called out on one more stupid comment. This is actually entertaining hearing him deflated every time he talks.

EDIT Refer to Georgies comment above

[Immy]

Dave seems to have changed his bottom-of-the-hour commercial break to the 45 min mark.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

It looks like Noory dumped his guest an hour early again.

[Morgus]

It looks like Noory dumped his guest an hour early again.

yep I was expecting that since he wasn't getting along with him early on.
now he is going to angel story open lines for the final hour instead.

[Nucky Nolan]

He went to open lines so callers could tell their angel stories. He also shared one of his charitable acts with us again. So much for doing good deeds in private when others can't hear or see them. He sure wants his audience to know what a nice guy he is.

[Morgus]

Noory just revealed his video podcast venture hasn't reached the level of subscribers he had hoped for.
He said they are now about 7700 short (I think initially he hoped for 10,000, so that means only 2300 total?)
At above 10,000 he said he would have started taking some of the profits to give to needy listeners on an honor system.
But since it looks he will never reach that level (the total has actually shrunk since the last time he mentioned it) he now plans on funding the needy listener giveaway deal by himself from his profits from his new long, long term PremRat contract.

He mentioned he once gave Fantastic Forum moderator Spike Mike years ago $500 to help him with something and after that Spike Mike's attitude changed. I recall he used to be anti-Noory and became pro-Noory at one point at the FF, that must have been after Noory's 'bribe' perhaps? But since the FF activity for the nightly show chat dwindled quickly after Noory took over as main host, Spike Mike eventually just disappeared. I did notice however in the past week he reappeared over at the new artbell.com facebook page and posted there looking forward to Art Bell's return...

So Jorch buys friends?

[Morgus]

So Jorch buys friends?

maybe this is Noory's new plan to try to get more c2cam listeners in a future with Art Bell returning soon, by showing his generosity publicly by personally funding a program to help a few needy listeners?

[Roy Hinkley]

So Jorch buys friends?

Who would want to be his friend without being paid?

I kid you not... This is directly from his university web page:

George: "At a young age I figured out that broadcasters are the only people who get others to talk to them," says Noory.

He was just a lonely, pathetic little boy no one would talk to him.  That's why he is continually pushing the Coast "club" - be one of the shpecial people.

I'm shocked... shocked.

So after they pay for George and his guests flights, meals, taxi's etc, and pay whatever expenses for the studio and staff what does that leave?  Financial reports written in red ink? 

... But since it looks he will never reach that level (the total has actually shrunk since the last time he mentioned it) he now plans on funding the needy listener giveaway deal by himself from his profits from his new long, long term PremRat contract...

If the PremRat management is on the fence about pulling the plug, good-guy Noorie's generosity will make the difference?

D) All of the above

Looks like C2C has added an additional 8 minutes (2 extra breaks at 4 minutes each) per hour of advertisements to the show. This pushes the show to something like 2 hours of show and 2 hours of ads in its 4 hour slot.

If he truly was a philanthropist, he would give money to charities, instead of throwing future friends beer money.
edit-So 2300 people actually subscribed to his "show"? A fool and his money...

Well, we know it wouldn't be a charity for badly injured children.

It sounds like the show is an infomercial most nights anyway.  An infomercial with it's own commercial breaks.

Now if the commercial breaks had product placements, Dave would be on to something ("while I tell you about the benefits of stocking up on storable food for the coming apocalypse, I'm having a Pepsi and a Big Mac").

Honestly, it's getting so bad that half the time I don't know whether George is introducing a news segment or leading into a product pitch.  He does a lot of the stuff live as part of his regular broadcast.

That's why Art used that thunderclap.  An idea that was lost on the Snorge.

[George Drooly]

From George's Alma Mater
http://www.udmercy.edu/stay-connected/news-events/newsletters/clae/2009/02/noory/index.htm

"It deals with high strangeness," says Noory. "I interview guests who are hunting for Big Foot or who are ghost hunters.  I want interesting guests and spontaneous conversations," says Noory, who prefers to interview guests on the fly.

"On the fly"? Isn't Tommy in the way down there?

[valdez]

George admits he promotes getting stoned.

... he now plans on funding the needy listener giveaway deal by himself from his profits from his new long, long term PremRat contract....

... Yeah, I think they have the equipment to do that.

     This new "engaged" George can be unsettleling.  Normally, after an exchange like the one he had with futurist, Jerome Glenn,  concerning whether machines exist that can differentiate methane produced by animals, and regular methane (isn't it always organic?), George would usually say, "well, that's true too," instead of standing his ground.  Peter Davenport  wonders why he's getting an increase in the number of ufo reports to his site...now that George is giving him...weekly airtime.  George recounted, once again, his childhood miracle of the firemen that suddenly appeared to him when his apartment caught fire.  Uncanny.  I think George should combine his philanthropic desires with his belief in medical marijuana and buy everyone pot.  See how quick a certain no talent broadcaster stops sucking after you get your next quarter pound in the mail courtesy George Ralph Noory.  Boy howdy.

[nooryisawesome]

You know what's weird is recall Art saying premier offered him a job at anytime time slot he wanted back in January can we assume he was offered coast back as well. I doubt they'd launch a competing show at night.
It's funny this was done before George was given his long long long contract.

[ItsOver]

Come on now no picking on Detroit, noory does enough of that. Also the tigers a rolling and crushed the mistake on the lake (Cleveland) tonight.

I heard CKLW used to play rock but I wasn't alive at the time. I used to like to listen to golden age radio on Sunday nights. They would play Lone Ranger and old radio shows really cool.

No problem here with Detroit.  Well, other than they seem to have a problem with the checkbook and it's the spawning region for Dave Noorie.  CKLW used to be The Station, now it sounds as if it's become another spider hole for Saddam Noory.

So Jorch buys friends?

I'm sure Tommy appreciates the daily case of Twinkies that Jorch puts on his expense account.
