George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[karios8]

George doesn't seem to know much about anything.

He stopped listening decades ago

He stopped listening because he didn't understand what was going on either way.

[Bmassie]

mel torme's gotta be 108 by now.

The velvet frogs not even a 100 at this point, Robert Mitchum is about to hit 100 soon

[norrykilledc2c]

For a guy who is supposed to give predictions, he sucks at it.
Generally Houge spends an hour not even giving predictions, and then the other hour being a vague as possible and claming hits on former vague, "predictions"...

Don't forget his made-up pronunciations of foreign places. God he's a douche.

[DanTSX]

The minutes and minutes of show prep must take a hideous toll.

Cuts into boozing time

[DanTSX]

Noory just promoted his videocast show "Beyond Bullief" and said "always only go for shows you can try out free first"
Was that a hidden dig at John B Wells pay venture without a free trial period?

Nobody will be taking him up on the offer for beyond belief for free

[Gassy Man]

George just pulled one of his standard bonehead maneuvers.  His guest, some nobody whose name I didn't bother to get, asked George if he'd heard something about Facebook.  At first, George answered no, so when the guy started to explain what it was -- for both George and the audience -- George suddenly yelled that he did remember and talked right over the guy.  Now, I have no idea what the guy was going to say or the connection to what he was talking about.  I don't think George even realizes anymore there is, in fact, an audience and that he's not having a one-on-one conversation with some poor individual he's back into a corner at Sizzler.

[Birdie]

Wow! Hogue was really stepping out on a limb there, predicting a terror attack will happen somewhere in Russia other than Sochi. Where on Earth did he come up with that idea? Couldn't be every news station in the US and probably Europe saying the same thing, could it?

[zeebo]

The minutes and minutes of show prep must take a hideous toll.

Yeah the minutes and minutes just keep piling up until they're virtually like a staggering fifteen minutes.

[ZHero]

I've lost count of how many times Houge has shamelessly plugged his books.  It's like one long
Infomercial for his crap.  The radio is in the OFF position. I'm going to sleep. Nite Bellgab.

[21st Century Man]

Hogue pisses me off.  He keeps saying that the Republican Party needs to moderate and go towards the center.  That's the problem with the party.  They are in the center and are doing nothing to halt  and reverse the intrusion of govt. into our lives.  The Party needs to move back to the right and stand for some solid principles.  If they don't, they are going to lose this voter come 2016.   Also Hogue insists that Islam is not the danger that some perceive it to be.  Maybe its not but the radicals are the ones who seem to be in charge and they want to take over the west.  Look at freaking Europe, Hogue.  And then Hogue spouts his inane climate change nonsense.

[zeebo]

...Which leads me to my next question: Are we supposed to use the Noory Sucks Compendium as a live thread or should an on-going live or nightly thread have been created?

My opinion is that with Dark Matter it was great to have unique live threads since there was so much specific interest in each show apart from general Art Bell topics, whereas this thread is fine as a frothing catch-all stew of meaty general comments, chunky live observations, spicy rants, and brothy ramblings since the whole of Noory content is likewise a formless swirling mish-mash.

[21st Century Man]

So I guess the -2 degrees Fahrenheit that we had in Georgia last week was due to man-made global war....errr I mean climate change.  Put a sock in it, Hogue.

[21st Century Man]

Speaking of Samson option,  I wish Hogue or someone would cut off that gnarly beard.

[21st Century Man]

And Noory doesn't have the guts to challenge Hogue regarding global warming.  Not that GN has the intellect to present a cogent argument but still..

[norrykilledc2c]

That's Amazing!

[michio]

That's Amazing!

I know.  There was sNoory being all high and mighty, saying "they" want to take the program in a different direction from mothership ejected FUKUWells. Now here's the nice guy sNooron saying he'll be talking about FUKUshima again.  Remember, to be an upstanding member of the Coast Insider Club, believe what Georgie's said but don't pay attention to what he does after he's said it.

[George Drooly]

Fascinating! What will become of history's after birth?

Noory would probably choke on it

[George Drooly]

George does that a lot. Obviously the pause/delay is him looking it up online and then blurting out his "remembered familiarity" with whatever it is...

[NoMoreNoory]

Joorch and Hogue turn to discussion of the prophecies of Matthias Sternberger.

George: He made a lot of very accurate predictions, didn't he?
Hogue: Uncanny.
George: He's dead now, right?
Hogue: He was born in 1753

Those hours of show prep pay off for George yet again

[NoMoreNoory]

And has anyone spotted the howler in the ad Snoory is running for Vermont Teddy Bears? Apparently, if you 'Bear-gram her at the office' the object of your affections' co-workers will think you're 'the greatest guy on the planet'. He runs through a few options:

Exercise your right to romantic freedom with the Right To Bear Hugs Bear
Make Valentine's Day sizzle with the I Love You More Than Bacon Bear
Crazy for her? Send the Nuts For You Bear
And finally….
Or express your underlying love with the Zombie Love Bear.

I was a bit puzzled by this last pun. Underlying? It simply didn't make any sense. Perhaps it just means underlying as in lying under the ground until awakened, as zombies do. But what exactly is underlying love? Then I realised……surely this should be 'undying love'? Now that makes sense, doesn't it?

The thing with this is that I first heard it a couple of nights ago and laughed it off as mush-mouthing, assuming he was reading it live in the studio. But last night the ad ran again. Identical. So he, and Tommy and other staff are hearing this go out without spotting it. It was pre-recorded. There was a sound engineer/editor involved maybe. And what about the client and/or ad agency? Aren't they listening? Unless I've got this completely wrong, it strikes me as about as shoddy and amateurish as you can get.

[yumyumtree]

I don't know, but Vermont Teddy Bear has always had silly ads, and IMO, a silly product. But different strokes for different folks. Valentines season is always good for this sort of thing. The other night Michael Savage did an ad for Sherries Berries, while also acknowledging that he is not a fan of either chocolate or sugar.

Men in my life know that I'm not a a teddy bear girl, or a Pajamagram girl( I wear long nighties), but more of a fifth of sour mash bourbon girl.

I imagine sooner or later they will do something about it, but listening to the show probably is t a high priority for them. It probably was supposed to be "undying". I think they just get ads on a whole bunch of radio shows at once. Remember ancestry.com? Those ads were on EVERY show.

... George: He's dead now, right?

Hogue: He was born in 1753...

... And finally….
Or express your underlying love with the Zombie Love Bear.

I was a bit puzzled by this last pun. Underlying? It simply didn't make any sense... Then I realised……surely this should be 'undying love'?..

George won't let anyone out-Suck him on his own show. 

When the guest is John Hogue, that's not easy.

[FallenSeraph]

I just couldn't listen to a John Hogue bookfomercial so I dipped into my precious stash of Ambien during Ground Zero and knocked myself out to spare myself.

Sounds like it was a blast, though!

In other news, damn, I want one of these.

[attachimg=1]

If I had 80 spare bucks lying around, I'd buy one just to express my UNDERLYING love for myself.

SHEEEEEZUS, GEORGE. He's insulting zombie-lovers everywhere.

Thanks for my laugh for the day.  You can't get anything past Jorchy. 

[karios8]

GN: You know, I met Christopher Columbus one time at a steakhouse. He said he listens to the show!

[wr250]

GN: You know, I met Christopher Columbus one time at a steakhouse. He said he listens to the show!

but the real question is:
does he listen to  the spec sheet and/or gabcast?

[ItsOver]

I shouldn't be so hard on Jorchy.  Wasn't his good buddy Pat Boone born around 1753?

[coaster]

George: He made a lot of very accurate predictions, didn't he?
Hogue: Uncanny.
George: He's dead now, right?
Hogue: He was born in 1753

I think its time for another Nooryism video.

[ItsOver]

I think its time for another Nooryism video.

Good idea.  There's more than enough material to exceed the run times of "Dr. Zhivago" and "Gone With the Wind" combined.  Plus enough left over for sequels.
