George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

The two men also discussed the difficulty in seeing Nature Spirits. Valentine explained they are made of a very light material called 'etheric matter' that is almost transparent to the human eye. Initially, it took years for us to develop a way to see them, von Lahr said. Now, we teach people to use their eyes differently and they can usually see Nature Spirits within 40 minutes to an hour, remarking that most will only see outlines at first. With practice, however, these creatures can be seen in bright color and form, Valentine added.

Punnett made this a fun show, despite all bullshit detectors bursting into flame.

But noory? God help the insomniacs of this world.

I'm all for encountering the little-folk of the forests, but I just wanna hang out for fun, not to like, make myself smarter.

You don't have to go to the forests. Those guys talked about how gnomes like to help out in Starbucks and stuff.

[Birdie]

I read a book about how to see faeries (it was a gift). From what I can remember, if you build a little house of natural objects like vines and twigs, they will come hang out. They appreciate it if leave out a small bowl of clean water every night so they can wash their babies. If you look through a stone or piece of wood with a naturally worn, perfectly round hole, you will be able to see them. If your house is messy, they get worked up and hide things. Mmmhmmm.
The book was beautifully illustrated and I did enjoy the various classifications and descriptions of the different types of little people, like brownies, sprites, green men, etc. It covered many countries and cultures and included origin stories, so that was fun to read.
Oh, and just in case anyone is currently dealing with a faerie infestation, stay away from the human sized ones. They are bad and will kidnap you (which kinda sounds like fun to me, so use your discretion, I suppose).
I would love it if it were true. It would be cool to have some little guys hanging around to play with the cats and weed my garden for me.

...Monday looks like horrible schlock:
Jorch and two mediums discuss how to communicate with faeries, pixies and gnomes. Really? And, tapping into other dimensions/energies to enhance our intelligence. Yeesh.

Hopefully Noory will dress up in his leprechaun outfit and eat some green pizza rolls.

LOL   You ought to call in. Tommy would put you right through IF you also say George is a great sage and host.

Streamlink cancelled. I've been a member for years but I just can't abide this stupid man any longer. He's like the layman's layman. He has an unbelievable ability of somehow completely GETTING IN THE WAY of an interview. So many times I've been listening to a guest and hoping Gee-orge wouldn't ruin the flow by injecting some inane, stupid-ass comment; yet he does it ALL THE TIME. The best interviews on C2C are where the guest steers the conversation themselves... on talk radio this is NOT how it's meant to work.

All (and I mean all) the other hosts on C2C are better than him... I even enjoyed Katherine Albrecht at Christmas. He's attracted an audience of imbeciles over the last few years, just listen to the callers these days.

He's not engaged and he's not ENGAGING. I have nothing against him as a person per-se, but he should have quit this gig ages ago. He's burnt out with it. The only time I've heard him get enthusiastic about something is when he's speaking about a pedestrian topic unrelated to the paranormal.

I've just recently started listening to a podcast called Mysterious Universe (far superior to this pap) and noticed that even though the hosts are ENGAGING and GREAT I kept kind of 'zoning out' while listening. It was kind of frustrating then I realised why - I've been listening to George for so long I've become a passive and unengaged listener as sometimes C2C only served as background noise and more often than not I would fall asleep listening to this shit. In short the current C2C's greatest strength is as a sleep remedy and should be marketed as such.

Great post! All of us here feel your pain. It`s amazing to listen to the callers from Art`s Somewhere in Time show  and compare them to the Noorons of George.

so is this sarcasm?

Not to speak for Birdie, but one can enjoy the fantasy without confusing it with reality.  A few years ago, I saw the film "A Fairy Tale"; about two young English girls who captured fairies in a picture that created a wave of public controversy. Thoroughly enjoyable...as is the fairy art of the art nouveau period; but they don't make me go looking for faeries in the hedge.  One of the huge differences between Bell and Noory is you could "hear" the twinkle in Art's voice (and Ian's) when such things were the topic, while Noory treats them with a sterile matter-of-factness that's not only patronizing, but erases all charm.

Exactly. Especially the difference between the way Art and Ian handled the subject matter as compared to the way Jorch does. Charmless is a perfect description for him.
After reading again what I typed, I would catergorize my sentence about human sized faeries as irony rather than sarcasm.
I stopped smoking pot around the time I graduated from college, about 15 years ago, but my new yard has a lovely perennial garden. I am looking forward to adding many annuals, herbs and veggies this spring.

He's bored and boring

Hmm and they are just the right height to help you find that elusive power outlet for your laptop.

This does seem true to me.  I guess over the years the audience has synced up with Noory's low expectations of the show.

I had to have The Venture Brothers explained to me and then had to watch the first season in order.  Once I did that, I found the show fucking hilarious.  Always thought they should do a charity to help the current problems with the monarch butterfly population.

Hey guys if we're lucky tonite we'll get some more of George's legendary Irish accent (as heard recently on that weird promo).

Joorch reports that Michael Trudeau has been jailed for exaggerating claims of weight loss in his books and infomercials. No mention of Trudeau's past appearances on Coast.....

There isn't enough money to bury John Leer?....moving on...tell me about that missing plane Whitley....WTF?

[b_dubb]

Using a national radio show to beg for money. Disgraceful

[Mels-hole1984]

Its what we've come to expect...All hail the dear leader.

[Gassy Man]

George, you have a professional pilot on.  Just do your usual thing and shut up and let the guest talk.  Must you keep interrupting with your "that's right" and similar idiotic comments when you obviously don't know anything about the subject?

Hahaha! Classic Jorchisms, if we had a thumbs vote on the forum I'd have given your comment thumbs up instead of having to do these maniacal requotings which push push push the board into in insane inane lengthy scroll of shizzle drizzle.
