Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

Tonight was  a waste. Gov. admits to there being an Area 51 and Snoory spends what...five or ten minutes on it with Whitley Streibler?...

     Agreed.  A roundtable would have been cool.  Whitley Strieber   is a nice guy, and I'm sorry the aliens took him to town, and that his wife is ill, but what was the point?  Oh yeah, he's selling a book.  And what happened to George's plan to give books away to anyone who could guess the tv theme songs?  It kind of just fizzled into a creepy nostalgia trip.  Even the stories from the "people who died" were dull.  During the "alien aborted baby" call things seem to get real, and there was a moment when I held my breath thinking George was really going to dig into this, but then he let it go.  Towards the end of the show a caller mentioned something called  "Awake" (never saw it or heard of it) and George confused it with the movie "Awakenings," where a bunch of catatonic patients snap out of their stonelike state and came alive, only to revert back to it.  As slight and imperceptible as it was, George was better this week, but his default state is the warm fuzzy coma that he's been in all these years.  All this while the Compendium becomes rattled and divisive.  Play the ufo song (I was thinking he'd ditch it - ditch it, George).  The end of the week is here.  Take a rest.  Let Wells' wordy meanderings soothe your suspicious revolutionary souls.  Coastgab rocks.


Unity!  Vigilance!  Compendium!

I actually feel the last few post have been more respectful of Dave.

I am confused.  Is everyone now in love with George because he gifted us with his presence bestowing promises of improvement?  I listened to Thursday's show and I heard no evidence of change.  Plus, I do not think he intends on changing. 

I am not going to go all "Paranormal Whore" on George, which incidentally sounded moronic, but am not going to kiss his ass either.  I was/am a faithful listener and feel even more used/abused by his attempts at reconciliation. 

Okay, George, you are a wonderful guy.  I don't know you but to listen to you is to love you.  You make me feel like I am your best friend.  You are akin to my father, mother, sister, brother, priest and rabbi.  You care about people more than anyone I know-- You are the quintessential  "people person."  The glass is half empty without you.  Please, please forgive me for being so hateful.  I lack your grace.  Please allow me to continue paying money to listen to you and learn.   I am still a child and I need your wisdom to grow.  Amen

I personally will be civil when asking him a question or making a comment to him directly because I'm glad he's here and may even draw out an interesting response.  I don't quite get the need to trash the guy for showing up, he already knows what we think of his performance over the last 10 long years.

Will still post regarding his terrible hosting and interviewing skills, and wonder at his odd personal quirks and all the rest, as before.

Isn't it at least a little bit funny that George himself is contributing to the George Noory Sucks thread?

Holy Comingle!!!!!!  I have been reading, but not actively posting for over a week.  Now, the thread is downright giddy.  As Noory, might say in Sinatra terms, like a bunch of bobbysockers.  Not, my generation.


Now, for next weeks festivities, there will be wholesome refreshments served during business, Coast to Coast hours, cookies, Twinkees, many, many Twinkees and lots of fruits. . .. Guess where the fruits are at.

Is this the George Noory Sucks thread?

George has always sucked ..... that's a given.
This thread is sucking badly ..... leagues of latent George Noory worshipers 'showing their colors' now.

George? came onto this thread, said virtually nothing about his mediocre/lackluster performance, and captured the hearts of the weak.  George is strong, you are pathetic .....

You know who you are ...... check yourselves for the symptoms of terminal suckage.  Ass-kissing, boot-licking, excuse-making, Pizza Roll eating ......

George has won your pathetic hearts!

Tommy, being large boned is not a sin.  My grandmother was large boned.  Her 7 grandchildren could hug her all at once without touching one another.  I remember her sitting on the toilet, smoking those camels, and reading Redbook.  Tommy, you are OK!

Strieber went on to say that the images taken during the landing of "The Mars Rover" (presumably he means Curiosity) were "airbrushed by NASA" to remove certain features that were supposed to be secret.

Well, first -- the NASA image library has been all-digital for at least five years. There probably isn't a single airbrush in the place. And second -- how would he know that? If seekrit features have been concealed, he won't have seen them.

Were you not aware that Whitley got a TS SCI from one of those guys that came to his hotel room?  Its not really trick-rolling if you get something out of it.

Streiber, "Ann, Ann, these young men keep coming to my hotel room when I am getting ready to go to bed.  I have  to listen to their nonsense.  I stay up all night with them.  I have no choice.  The charge on the VISA bill was for something else entirely..."

bmcintyre

Does anyone remember a couple of months ago when Whitley went on a rant about how the aliens took advantage of him anally and when he decided to make money from the experience by writing a book, he became persona non grata to the publishing world?  People thought he was gay?!

He was upset; I was wringing my hands listening to him.  Those bastards.  Wow, until he brought it up in such detail, I never thought about him being gay before. 

Then, someone reminded me that he has multiple homes; writes successful screen plays; and gets published all of the time.

Creative, critical thinking is lucrative.  I am so stupid.

Please George, let me write your copy.

Hi George,

Welcome. Whatever the reason is for coming here to interact with the members of this forum at this particular time I am not going to waste my time to debate if it is out of genuineness or selfishness (business wise). I think that path would lead this whole discussion no where, except in circles. What I wanted to do is provide you with my feedback. So here are just a few that come to mind,


    I'd like for you (and/or staff) to come up with better probing questions to ask guests. Please don't just ask questions A through Z and call it a show and feel good about it. You are given a decent amount of time on C2C to really dig into certain subject matters, don't squander that.
    Tell Tommy, or whoever is producing, to maybe not be in your ear so much so that you can actually concentrate on what the guest or callers are talking about. Thus allowing you the freedom to follow up with further questions to delve deeper into the subject matter, instead of skimming the surface.
    Do away with providing the guest with possible questions or allowing them to give you possible questions to ask them. Just tell them the topics you will try to cover during their interview. An example I'd like to mention is the whole Ian Punnet and Maurice Cotterell situation, http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2007/08/19 , where Ian refused to go through those list of predetermined questions. Instead Ian just wanted to have a conversation and allow that to dictate where it led. But Maurice did not want to comply with that because obviously he was under the assumption Ian would follow the list of questions he submitted in order to allow him to basically give a presentation instead of a radio interview. Therefore Ian kicked him from the show after just an hour. You had Maurice back on less than 2 months later, http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2007/10/02 . I actually enjoy listening to Maurice and his theories, because they make me think, but would much rather hear a discussion between the host and guest on a radio show than a monologue from the guest who thinks they are in a lecture hall giving a presentation.
    Don't let a guest go off on a spiel and then not be expected to back up their claims or provide evidence. Challenge them when needed. There are far too many snake oil salesmen in the paranormal genre who just want the notoriety and they'll say anything to sell their books or promote their projects. I'm not asking you to jump down the guest's throats or behave in a rude manner. Just be more discerning and inquisitive.


I used to listen to every single show of Coast for many years, up until the end of 2011. Nowadays I use a lot more discernment in which Coast shows I'll listen to. Why? Well as you know there are many radio shows, internet shows, and podcasts out there that cover the same topics C2C does. I simply have discovered other hosts who I personally think do a better job at interviewing the guests and diving deeper into the certain subject matters than what you do majority of the nights. Most of the time you just skim the surface and we listeners hear no new information that we haven't heard before. Nearly everyone says George, you seem to be a nice guy. But I'm not going to listen to Coast because you are nice or pleasant to have a conversation with off the air. I want an in-depth interview where the host is engaged in the topic and is also engaging their self. Some people have issues with some of the topics you now cover more frequently than ever, such as politics and health related shows. I don't mind those because if I am not interested I just won't listen, it is that simple. I'm not forced to sit through interviews where I feel I am not hearing anything new or being challenged intellectually. Nowadays I have many alternative shows to listen to that I do not rely on C2C anymore as my sole source of paranormal information.

I could probably write a lot more but I'm starting to ramble, if not already, and just would like for you to take into consideration the points I made as constructive criticism from a paranormal radio junkie. Everything may be running smoothly at C2C with regards to ratings, affiliates etc. But quite honestly you are doing a disservice to listeners, old and new, to not try and improve. Even though you've been a part of broadcasting for decades and have accolades for directing and what not, you can always learn something and improve upon existing skill sets. George I think if you really take into consideration the many critiques you will read and really try to just tweak things here and there then you can really nail it! But as of now there are just too many times where I wonder where your head is at during the show. Some of it is just cringe worthy and I know you can do better.

Take it easy.

In other words, listen to the guests when they are speaking, and ask follow up questions.  For the whole show.

Whatever else you are doing during the show, stop - wait for a commercial break, or have someone else do it.  A distracted, unprepared host sucks more than they need to, and makes the show unlistenable.

I'm not sure why that is so hard to understand

Sorry, I'm obviously not an English major :P just Math and Statistics. I disliked English and only took the 2 prerequisite introductory English courses that were needed while in University. In my opinion my country of Canada has a real under developed elementary and high school educational system. Comparisons of exams given back even in the early 1900's would make most folks' heads spin nowadays. A few years ago, one of my summer jobs was at a local museum which was originally an old school. I got to view some of the exams that were given back in the 20's and there is no doubt today's society is being dumbed down by our educational systems. Look at me for example...  ;) Anyways, let's get back to George.

In regards to the recent call in's.  Good work getting on the air guys... how about some female gabbers make some calls.  That mistaken SR71 call was HILARIOUS!! rainbow plus signs and pin pricks of time?? everybody should listen to that call it had me rolling.  The actual SR71 call was really good as well although he basically just made a really good point in regard to the Roswell crash.  I never thought of it that way man, good work.  Its similar to other theories that imply government created flaps would look like ufo's to its own citizens while looking like secret weapons/technology to other countries. 

hehe captain George was it? captain Noory? kinda giggled there as well.

Great post, HB. I just have one small nit to pick since I'm the one who keeps bringing up health related shows. It's not the health shows per se I object to, it's the dissemination of so-called cures for cancer and other serious diseases, like the baking soda or statin 'cures' that I object to. That's where alternate health crosses into dangerous territory. Last night Noory gave a shout out to the hospital that's treating his sister for their innovative, state of the art care. That's a step in the right direction, in my opinion. I sincerely wish the best for his sister and hope her treatment is successful.

Most of the time you just skim the surface and we listeners hear no new information that we haven't heard before. Nearly everyone says George, you seem to be a nice guy. But I'm not going to listen to Coast because you are nice or pleasant to have a conversation with off the air. I want an in-depth interview where the host is engaged in the topic and is also engaging their self. Some people have issues with some of the topics you now cover more frequently than ever, such as politics and health related shows. I don't mind those because if I am not interested I just won't listen, it is that simple. I'm not forced to sit through interviews where I feel I am not hearing anything new or being challenged intellectually. Nowadays I have many alternative shows to listen to that I do not rely on C2C anymore as my sole source of paranormal information.

I could probably write a lot more but I'm starting to ramble, if not already, and just would like for you to take into consideration the points I made as constructive criticism from a paranormal radio junkie. Everything may be running smoothly at C2C with regards to ratings, affiliates etc. But quite honestly you are doing a disservice to listeners, old and new, to not try and improve. Even though you've been a part of broadcasting for decades and have accolades for directing and what not, you can always learn something and improve upon existing skill sets. George I think if you really take into consideration the many critiques you will read and really try to just tweak things here and there then you can really nail it! But as of now there are just too many times where I wonder where your head is at during the show. Some of it is just cringe worthy and I know you can do better.

Take it easy.

Hi HumanBeing,
  Thanks for all the super suggestions. I love it. I printed them all out so that I can wipe my ass with them. HAW HAW HAW.

I used to have a grudging respect for you people here but now you have shown yourself to be a bunch of star-struck pussies. I show up here with some bullshit and you fall all over yourselves buying my crap about improving the show. HAW HAW HAW. And you people think I'M the dumb one?

Let me explain something to you idiots. I have spent the last 10 years DUMBING DOWN the show so that the only people who will listen and call in are truck drivers, fry cooks and cat ladies with double-digit I.Q.s. Why? Because I'm a lazy, worn-out, very poorly read,  greedy, no-talent old fucker who wants to get by with the least amount of effort. I'm not interested in any of this stuff I put on the show. I knew in the beginning that I wasn't right for this show that millions of listeners cared about but I took the job anyway because I only care about myself. See what a selfish bastard I am?

So I have developed what I like to call the Noory method. No show prep, ever. Have someone else write down all questions on 5x7s. Most questions being interchangeable from one guest to the next. Same boring guests over and over again. Lots of guests with nebulous topics (numbers lady, Nigel Fanthorpe etc...) that have no right or wrong opinions which makes it easier for me to hide my stupidity and lack of knowledge. Never listen to what the guest is saying ( I'm usually scratching my balls and day-dreaming while the guest is droning on and on. (Mmm, Waffle House after the show). When a guest finishes speaking I deceitfully say something that makes me sound like I already knew what they were talking about. Like, "No doubt about that", "Indeed", "You got that right", "So true, so very true" etc.. Repeating a phrase 3 times slowly to make myself sound weighty. Also, it's very important to cut off the rare interesting caller and when the guest responds to the caller with a follow-up, I lie and say the caller hung-up. Any in depth discussion could cause me to have to do work. Ya gotta understand that I am 63 years old and I  hardly know anything, so I have to do all I can to cover this up. Fer Fuck's Sake, I can barely pronounce words and stuff.

The name of the game is selling junk to idiots. Why would we want intelligent people to listen to the show? Haven't you heard the callers always praising me? They are too stupid to know any better. That's the Coast to Coast audience we want. "Improve" the show? I have "improved" the show. Get with it, simpleton.

I'm going to start my own thread here titled, "The George Noory Sucks Thread Posters Suck" because it now appears that you people are the morons.
