George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ItsOver]

At some point... who cares? Sept 16th is close. Now we can appreciate Noory for his lack of talent. I mean how good would MST3K have been if they only used great movies? OK still would have been better than c2c, but you get my point.

I see no reason to continue with an attempt to get noory to step down. With Art back, why bother? It is like being pissed your 16 inch b/w tv just fritzed; while a 60 inch plasma is being delivered.

After all, we're going to have Jorch until Hoagland lands on Mars or 1000 years.  Whichever comes first.  Who knows how long we'll get to enjoy listening to Art again.  I plan to make the most of it.  C2C can go pound sand for all I care. 

[Roy Hinkley]

How else at that point would we be able to confirm if it were him unless those people asked for some thread/show reference? It would be foolish to get trolled by some imposter for ten pages would it not?

The shout outs I thought were important too.  I did not feel like I had Bieber Fever or whatever its called.  I missed the TZ reference, and then heard the fracking horror shtories one, but I thought, well, he says horror shtories all the time it could just be a coincidence, so I went for the triple and asked for the Roy shout out.  At that point I was convinced.  However, the Goatsy one, while I feel bad for Goatsy, was hilarious.  I thought hey, we're not the joke here, look what we're getting this guy to say on a national freaking radio show just to "make nice" - somebody fricken got a 60-year-old man to bless a cat for crying out loud - you just can't make that crap up!

C2C can go pound sand for all I care.

Exactly.  It's irrelevant for many of us.  The vitriol against other members on this thread has risen to embarrassing levels. Now that we're going to have a real choice, who cares what C2C does?  If they get 200 more affiliates, I don't care.  If they dump Noory and find someone else to host, I still don't care.  C2C ceased to entertain or inform me a decade ago.  I'm just counting down the days until Art is back and hoping for the best.

     The Compendium can handle the drama.  As far as "haters" go a while back I took an unofficial poll on the subject of and the results were (as I recall) about 85% of Gabsters did not hate Norry, 14% did, and 1% were either "dementia afflicted" or straight up "psychos."  The results were immediately published (eh, like Hoagland "publishes" things) and sent to George in an effort to lose the "haters" moniker and get one measly Friday night shout out.  It didn't work then, but time, space, perseverance, and a modicum of decency as resulted in not only a shout out, but visitations  (and chupacabra) as well.
     I don't hate George.

'Haters' is George's word, not something that originated here. 

I'm glad he came and posted, I hope he continues.  He should have been here learning what needed correction years ago.  If the tradeoff is discussing his suckiness pleasantly while he's here, what does that hurt?  Maybe we can get some questions answered that have perplexed some of us over the years.

None of it means anyone no longer thinks he sucks.  And that is the name of the thread - 'George Noory Sucks', not 'We Hate George Noory'.


If anyone wants to hate George it's fine with me, but I don't.   

[Dromox]

I think there's a fundamental difference in thinking that someone is awful at what they do and George is pretty terrible, boring, etc., then actually hating someone.

Shplit show tonight, first hour - flying ass monkeys, followed by those ohhnpen lines...

I was tired of Hoagie long before George Noory showed up.  Same with some of the others like Whitley and Ed Dames

Ya got that right!

Wouldn't it be funny if Black Hole was actually Art Bell?

It would take the feud up to a whole new level.

It sure would lol

Wouldn't it be sad if Black Hole was actually a plant by PremRat to keep the board unfocused for a few more weeks.

I am not sure what would be accomplished by any intervention by PR within this forum. If we are unfocused... what happens? If we are focused?

We may have to start mixing our precious bodily fluids with Jorch's to see who's who.

I would like Dave/George to be apolitical and ask good questions.  I do not want him to ask questions that someone fed to him.  The beauty of the show was the intimacy between the host and listener.  George got greedy and tried to enhance his brand. 

Please George, think about the subject matter, read the book, ask interesting questions.  These are wild/strange people that you are interviewing; please show us that it is worth our time to listen to these people.  They are nice people; give them the courtesy of a good interview. 

Please read your copy a couple of times before airing time. 

Please keep away from sad and maudlin stories about animals/children being hurt. The pain of hearing those stories late at night stays with the listener throughout your entire show. 

No more government going to hell-in-a-handbasket because of the current administration.  It makes it look like someone is paying you to be a mouthpiece for this.   We do not listen to you for this.  If you want to talk about the paranormal et al, please do it but if you want to be a right wing nut, go to the other line and get behind Mark Levine. 

[onan]

I am surprised to see anyone requesting Dave to improve.

Perhaps like trained animals, it is tough to get them to stop doing their tricks.

[UnscreenedCaller]

Good point.  Jorch is the fertilizer that helped the Bell flower bloom again.

When you put it like that, it all makes sense. Thanks for all the manure, Jorch. Keep on spreading it.

When you google George Noory, the first auto-suggestion is "george noory sucks."  When you click on that search, the top results lead you to this very compendium, which is ground zero for the pro-Bell/anti-Noory crowd.

C2C is going to take a huge hit in the ratings next month.  George and Co. are in panic mode.  It's in their great interest to make the GNS thread wither and die, and the double-punch of Art's show and Noory buttering up the lingering haters is how you kill the compendium.

It's strictly damage control.  George isn't suddenly interested in improving his radio skills, and certainly not interested in hanging out, laughing, and drinking beer (his words) with any Coastgabbers.

Also, I believe there are at least a few of Noory's cohorts that recently joined and are posting in this thread.

[bmcintyre]

Oh, I forgot this too. Stop telling us about your Christ-like behavior and then, telling us about your LA friends and soirees that you attended.  Art was a loner.  He was content in his own skin.  Try it out.

[Nucky Nolan]

Absolutely. It could be a prank, but my instinct tells me that it's kosher [George Noory posting here] (or close to it).

I called it, and MV confirmed it. My instinct and intuition rarely fail me. I have two questions for George Noory. That's all.

[Partiefiuchter]

I can't believe this, I hope he comes back, there's still so much to say.

Let's all pray for sweet lil' Goatsy to get better.

Excellent.

Research your news stories properly before air time.
Choose them carefully. What is the point in repeating the stories we've been hearing on every news outlet through the day? Look for the stories relevant to Coast that don't get covered elsewhere.
Write your stories in your own words, don't attempt to paraphrase off the Fox website.
Read your copy aloud several times to make sure it makes sense and is engaging to the listener.
Stop asking the same questions in every interview.
Stop pretending to know everything.
Challenge your guests. Push them. A constant chorus of 'That's right' and 'I think so too' isn't good enough and suggests only that you don't have an opinion.
Stop asking guests where we can buy their books. Bookshops and Amazon and/or their website. We know.
Stop covering the same topics again and again and again. Broaden your palette. Challenge yourself.
Stop telling the same autobiographical stories over and over. It's not about you. It's boring.
Engage with your callers. Don't cut them off so quickly. Let them converse with your guests.
Stop dumping guests and callers with no explanation or attempting to blame it on a poor phone line.
Stop ducking out early on a Friday.
Stop playing UFO Phil. It's an abomination.

I could go on, Gnoory, but that'll do for a start. You want constructive criticism? There it is. And that's not being a hater: it's what I would say to you if I was your producer. I don't believe for a moment you/whoever was here last night in an honest attempt to listen to what we think of you. You have five years and and a thousand pages of reading material on this site to do that. You have treated us with nothing but contempt through all that time, and I doubt that you have any serious intention of listening to us now. You are motivated only by the fear of Art Bell, and how his announcement has lit up every forum and Coast's own FB page in a way that you never managed in ten years.

[Gnoory]

Well I guess Ill just have to prove you wrong.

[bmcintyre]

"You have five years and and a thousand pages of reading material on this site to do that. You have treated us with nothing but contempt through all that time, and I doubt that you have any serious intention of listening to us now."

Georgie. I think the hater is you.

[SnapT]

Well I guess Ill just have to prove you wrong.

THAT'S OUR GEORGE!

(Don't listen to the haters, I like UFO Phil.)

[eddie dean]

Hi George,
can you please address some of the questions that the above poster(Nomorenoory) asked?
specifically about asking a guests a question that they previously answered?

[NoMoreNoory]

Well I guess Ill just have to prove you wrong.

You have a degree in communications? Really? Did they cover basic punctuation?

Well, I guess I'll just have to prove you wrong.

[Gnoory]

Eddie:
The ONLY way I can address this is on the air.............so lets see what I do with them

[Resickened]

Well I guess Ill just have to prove you wrong.

Instead of proving me wrong, could you pay me back all the money for being a Coast Insider member for nearly two years? I recently cancelled a couple months ago because I noticed that you were still taking money from my account when I haven't listened in over a year and forgot what that monthly charge was about. I know you supposedly do all these charitable acts of kindness on air all the time but how about paying back someone who was an avid  listener at one time until you ran the show into the ground with the governmental fear mongering and quack Doctors? Right your wrongs, Dave. No animosity, just pay me back. PM me for my Paypal info and I'll give you my Coast insider e-mail.

[SaucyRossy]

George have you visited fantasticforum2, imaginative worlds lately? Those forums are practically dead. Why do you think that is.

[Partiefiuchter]

Well I guess Ill just have to prove you wrong.

I've enjoyed Coast to Coast a lot the past two years, mainly I enjoyed old episodes with Art and George Knapp's episodes more, but you've had great guests and fun moments.

My only criticism- there was a guest last October I believe, he was telling this amazing story about a blood drinking Celtic king that was buried upside-down after being slain with a sword made of yew wood. You interrupted him with somewhat cheesy vampire jokes, you pretty much cut him off, and it was a true disappointment. I'm looking forward to your shows from now on, because it at least seems like you care what we think, and that Art was right about you being a good guy.


Also, I think I'll give that GaiamTV free trial a go and check out Beyond Belief.

I think you misunderstood my comment "Ill just have to prove you wrong" that meant....the remarks of not caring or trying....

thanks but I would appreciate a answer now. I cannot listen tonight.
are you busy listening to your producer in you headphones and don't hear the guests answer.
I have to tell you that has always bugged me, it really slows down the flow and seem to aggravate some of your guests, and your listeners.
