George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

No
No

It sounds like I missed a horrible show. A shame really. I could have used a laugh.

...cannot believe I just heard Jorch ask "Is bacon healthy?"

Ooooooh, this is getting testy.  ;D

I'm guessing that's the last we hear of Pete Havilland on C2C....

     I think Havilland was trying to say that he didn't believe in ghost in the same way that he "believes" in God, as in not having the same emotional and spiritual investment that one would have in God.  I think.  Good fun, though.  First time guest can be as flies in George's carefully spun late night web of mediocrity.   Jeff Nelken on the joy of bacon.  George tells a somewhat interesting Fidel Castro story.

haha I was friggin laughing at that so hard - Noory wants cell phone stories and some gal tells her "grandma dropped it in the porta-potty" story ... kinda sums up the level of the show
That porta-potty should call in for George's next secret door show, or work as fill in host so as to reduce the stench.

HOW DARE YEWWWWWW! Gnoory is painting a masterpiece for our ears. ENOUGH OF YOUR REWWWWWD INSULTATING!
Another classhic shew from Jorch.  And I can add bacon to the preferred Jorch diet.  Let's see pizza rolls, Chicago all beef hot dogs (thuh best), turkey samwhiches, salami, a little shrimp cocktail and bacon.  All with tooomeric seasoning, of course.  I think it's safe to say Jorch isn't a vegetarian.  Did Jorch have bacon flavored butter in his cookbook?

I didnt listen to that much of the show last night, though unfortunately I did hear the cell phone porta-potty story. I don't know what kind if story he was looking for, but probably things like cell phones ringing at inappropriate times and places.
I didnt hear the bacon exchange but suspect that George may be on some kind of low-carb diet, paleo, or something. Theyre very fashionable now. Bacon wouldn't technically be paleo because cave men wouldn't have had cured meats, but people fudge a little, and there are other low carb diets that I think do include a lot of bacon.

George microwaves his bacon. WTF. Why should I even know that.

So Jorch finally figured out how to use a microwave or should we prepare ourselves for an exciting tale of Jorch surviving a near brush with death with a nuked bacon strip?

Holy shit I'm a little freaked out right now.

A few hours ago I was kind of bored so decided check to out this website I hadn't visited for like a year. It's called adcrf.org, it's hundreds of personal accounts of people seeing dead relatives. Anyway I only read it for a few minutes, but one story of a military son who died then apparently visited his mother stayed in my mind.

So not much later, I decide to catch up on last nights C2C. Realising the guest sucks, I changed it to hour 3. The first call was from a women who literally described the experience I had just read! It must of been her who wrote it!

So freaky! Coincidence? Don't ask George

I can see from the posts that Jorge was in typical form last night. Years ago, before Art joined our local station, they ran the "CBS Radio Mystery Theatre" show late night. I suspect radio shows like that are ancient history for many of you. I found them on YT and I've got to say that I prefer to hear EG Marshall as a show host, but I'm wacky like that.  :)

If you're interested here's the link:

07 - I Warn You Three Times - CBS Radio Mystery Theater

Oh, yes, CBS Mystery Theater has come up several times before as an example of "when radio was good."  I mentioned it again not too long ago, with the website where you can listen to any of the old shows.  A lot of them are pretty good and most likely all of them are better than Jorch.

Izintit?

 Thank you very much! I`m finally done with George.Listening just for his humorous mistakes is beyond stale and God knows his weak,long winded (must be a prerequisite) guests are nothing but know- little hoaxers trying to make a buck off the desperate and/or shut-ins. Particularly repulsive is that the only time energy-sucker George  seems enthused is when others suffer a tragedy.   GN really S!

Hi ItsOver! I'll have to look up your post for that website. Thank you for posting it. Can't listen to George for very long and a good ghost story is a nice alternative.

Looks like I'm more than a bit late with this, but I listen to the recorded show next day.
Last night's first two hours had to be the worst combined performance by the illustrious host and a guest in a long time, if not ever. But it was alternately so bad it was funny. So many great examples of how DisGeorge often has such a limited command of the language, isn't able to go "deep" and is stymied when things get a bit sketchy. And I guess they don't pre-interview guests before giving them a shot on the air. Holy crap, what a train wreck. In a good way.

I like this guy. He seems annoyed with a lot of Jorch's questions. But that is not the reason I like him - he seems like a no BS investigator with a proper dose of skepticism. Sounds like he really wants to help people and didn't just recently jump on the paranormal investigation money train. The fact he doesn't charge clients makes him legitimate (in my eyes, at least). And I like that he looks for poltergeist manifestation before looking for ghosts. Very smart. The hypnotism thing had me worried at first, but he doesn't seem over the top with it. Wish George Knapp had the interview instead of Jorch....

My previous post notwithstanding, I agree with you, Birdie.

THANK YOU, UFOGADFLY!  I thought that I was the ONLY one to listen to a guest who repeated himself in a jumbled and incoherent manner!  Then Noory would step in and make it worse.  Friday night's first two hours were incomprehensible.  I was laughing so hard that I had to continue to listen to this train wreck.  I thought Noory would SHUT THIS GUEST OFF.....instead, he kept him.  How FRIGGIN' FRUSTRATING that Noory would continue an interview with a guest who has NO CONCEPT of how to relate to listeners....and yet, Noory is quick to shut down an awesome guest because he hears "crackling"....or some other "less than perfect" connection.

GOD HELP ME.   :P

I think the crackling is in his brain.  Years of mustache conditioner fumes have short-circuited his synapses.

I used to listen to CBS Radio Mystery Theatre back in the 70s. Some people I know didnt like it, but I thought that is was pretty high quality. They had some pretty big names performers, Tammy Grimes for example. I seem to remember that Richard Widmark was in some of them too. A lot of the stories were from classic writers. I remember Therese Racquin by Balzac, for example. I still think of some of those, the couple with the foundling baby that never grew, for instance.

yumyumtree

I guess I was mistaken. I looked at a list if CBS Radio Mystery theatre actors and Richard Widmark isn't on it.

Haviland seemed okay at first...then it all went horribly wrong. Horribly, awkwardly, amusingly, wrong. I blame it on George. But I like to blame everything on George.

This is a safe default position.  You can always redirect some blame to others if any compelling evidence ever arises.

Is tonight's guest host that pile of awesome known as George Knapp?  If so, I'd take JB back in a hot NY minute...

Merle and Mozart are the only recording artists whose music makes up over 50+ cds, all of it worth listening to.
