George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[MV/Liberace!]

40 seconds...huh. I remember when Art was manning the phones..even without a screener all he had was five seconds, I believe. And that was mostly to bloop out people's first names. One of these nights...I'm gonna give it a shot.

good luck to you, sir... and keep us posted on how it goes.  i'd be interested to hear.


and welcome to the forums, bro.

GN is from my hometown :/ and when he first took over, I swear I remember that at first he claimed he was Italian.

My husband and I looked at each other like, Noory from Dearborn Heights =  Italian "riiiiiiight........"

heh heh, yeah, that would generate a chuckle or two from me, too.

This would explain the cheesy leather jacket he seems to be quite fond of.

I see sphincter-head is hosting tonight's show with a guest that is an "expert" on the Mayan Calendar. I'm takin' odds that Einstein mentions the movie "2012" out of the blue at least twice.

[robey1129]

Please...if I hear that abominable, cacophonous caterwaul that sphincter-head considers a song on Friday night....I think I'll shit the bed.

are you referring to the ufo phil dreck?

[robey1129]

yea...that's it. Just the fact that piss for brains plays that tune weekly tells me the guy has the mental capabilities of someone who belongs in a playpen. When he plays it, the paint on the walls in my house starts cracking. My cats run for the door.

shite.  i had no idea it was being played weekly.  i enjoy witnessing a train wreck as much as the next guy; i've got to start listening to this show more often.

About a year and a half ago, someone who used to sit in as a host from time to time on C2C sent an email to a friend of mine.  A LENGTHY email.  During this year and a half, some developments have occurred, some things have been said publicly by this person, and the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, with regard to this person's feelings about George Noory and the state of C2C today.  Therefore, we thought this would be an appropriate time to share it with you.  It's a real gem.

Many apologies for not seeing this sooner-- still recovering from the flu/pneumonia.

I will hold you to your word about not sharing my thoughts-- or at the very least not sharing them unless you run across attribution that doesn't lead back to me.  Too many people inside the industry would know from whence most of this comes.  Not sure how much you know about the inner workings of radio, so if I expound of points obvious to you, forgive me.

Randy Michaels at Jacor wanted a syndication division,  He ultimately bought Premiere...

i never actually clarified this, but i think most people connected the dots on their own.  this email was, in fact, written by rollye james.  she sure is a gem.

[MV/Liberace!]

i spent several hours tonight doing some general pruning and cleanup all over this place.  there are still many many hours to go.


one of the most noticeable things i did was to combine the zillions of poorly populated anti-noory threads into one mega super thread.  if you take the time, you'll find tons of gems you didn't know existed.

[robey1129]

Is it me....or was tonight's show about a whole lot of nothing. I can't remember getting a definitive point or answer about what the fuck this woman is supposed to be an expert in. At least I now know I have "Alien" intelligence in me. Oh....you do to!!!  But for someone in touch with alien races, she did not know any more that a homeless teenager hangin' out at Haight and Asbury. And, of course, puss brains did little to put any substance to the ordeal. I listen on my way home from work (swing shift). Gee.....I wonder if Sean Hannity is on at that time?

it's clear the show's operating context is now decidedly steeped more in entertainment than science, logic, or fact.  art bell had his share of bullshitters on the show over the years, but the difference is that he (with few exceptions... cough... ed dames... cough...) challenged and prodded them to the point of humiliation if they couldn't back up their claims.

Yeah, Barbara Hand Clow was pretty much all over the place talking about 2012, and babbling about 9 dimensions, and about how something cataclysmic is supposed to happen this summer.  Whatever.
     George did manage to ask this question of David Blume:  "what if the oil {spilling in the gulf} was endless, and it just kept gushing until the end of time?"
     Well then, assuming our planet survives the sun's supernova, which would occur way before the end of time, and assuming we are haven't frozen to death, and assuming a big ass asteroid hasn't slammed the shit out of us, and assuming the cockroaches haven't retaken the planet, and...

did george make mention of the movie 2012?  i believe it was expected he would inevitably do so... multiple times.

   UFO investigator Kevin Randall said that the reason there isn't massive flood of UFO pictures and videos in this age where everyone carries a camera is because the aliens ain't visiting us as much as they use to.  I suppose that's as good of an excuse as any.  Greg Hunter was on in the first hour to talk about the Israeli incident, of which there is plenty of video footage showing the psycho peace Nazis beating the crap out of the Israeli soldiers, and yet the world is wondering why 10 of these terrorist loving idiots were killed?  Huh?  It's like some mass anti-semitic hypnosis is taking over the planet, and common sense and decency are the enemy.

The following is a list of documented George Noory quotes. Known as "Nooryisms"... these non sequitur quips and half-witted, meandering ramblings serve only to exacerbate my feelings of disappointment over what has happened since Noory took over Coast to Coast AM. If you happen to know of others and you can document when they occurred, please post them in a reply to this topic.

Hi MV.
I'm not new but I am recent, so I thought I'd better start catching up on this thread.


I could feel my brain starting to turn to tapioca with each nooryism I read.  Then I read the one about the baby and that's where I stopped.  How appalling!  It made me sick.


George Noory SUCKS!!!

heh heh, yeah, that one is my favorite, for sure.

Recently I was cleaning out an old suitcase and mercifully came across a few dozen cassettes of old C2C shows I had recorded from circa 1999-2001 (you know, back when Art skippered a legitimate talk show). I have been listening to these over the past few days and the more I listened, something became apparent. When Art was host, his shows had a certain continuum about them. Art lived our collective psyches' search for the truth and it came through in his shows. His shows still resonate.
George Noory doesn't give a shit. He punches a time clock. It seems that his deceptively calm voice has bamboozled some into thinking he does. I suspect most of these individuals never have heard Art's shows.
I used to listen to C2C because it was much more than a radio show. It beamed into my soul.
Nowadays, I give it a listen for a laugh or two. It is certainly at times mesmerizing in its awfulness.

agreed.


and if you ever convert any of those cassettes to mp3, please consider shooting them over to me.  i'm always looking to increase the stream's library.

     David Sereda talking mostly about the sun, and our position in the galaxy, and how it affects the earth with earthquakes and all that, but he also talked about harmonics and mathematical infinities, and how all the matter that exist in our universe is here because of some math discrepancy.  I think.  Maybe.  George didn't ask too many questions, so I guess he understood it all.

I am new to this site and am absolutely thrilled to have found it. I thought perhaps I was the only one who wanted to pull my hair out due
to GN's lack of interviewing skills and his apparent inability to correct himself when he messes up a word. I mean, we're all guilty of botching up
a word while speaking, but if you do, don't you normally correct yourself before continuing on? Not George. He's either oblivious to the error or
thinks his audience is not worth the correction, which is just plain rude.

Then there are the times when a caller is telling an interesting story, rather than asking a logical question, he will come up with some
impertinent question, or even worse, just blurts out some dismissive comment and hangs up on them before getting more details which
I would like to hear.

I am also sick and tired of hearing of his travel between St. Louis and Los Angeles. Who the f*** cares? Why does he think that we
are interested in his travel schedule? Does he think that we're all impressed by this? Is he trying to convey that he is so indespensable
that the broadcasting company will accommodate him wherever he goes?

I absolutely cringe when callers praise GN and go on and on about what a wonderful host he is and he acts all humble. All I can say
is that these people have very low expectations and a high tolerance for mediocre broadcasting/interviewing skills. I sometimes wonder
if the call screener asks the callers to embellish their accolades.

I finally got smart and bought one of those CC Witness radios so that I can fast forward through the long commercial breaks and through
George's incoherent ramblings and only listen to what I consider to be interesting and informative (which seems to be less and less to
tell you the truth).

I hope that someday soon GN will be replaced by either George Knapp or Ian. At times I feel that a trained chimp would be an improvement.

It is beyond me why his contract continues to be renewed year after year.

snoors is king of the non sequitur.

st. louis is probably one of the dumpiest cities in north america.  i wouldn't brag about commuting in/out of that shit hole.  as a matter of fact, i'd want to pretend i'd never lived/worked/slept/eaten there and erase it from my past.

I sometimes wonder if the call screener asks the callers to embellish their accolades.

this definitely happens in radio.  i don't know if snoors has such a system in place, but hosts like mancow are notorious for screeners who coach the callers suck the host's genitals.

just download the show from bittorrent.  it's faster and easier.

i've come to accept the fact that it's not going to happen.

Happy freakin' birthday George....now retire, already!!!!
I swear to Christ, I almost drove my car into the center divide when Noordo said tonight that he pledged to come in on the holidays because he knew there was so many "lonely people out there".
So what, now....not only are they lonely...but they're bored out of their fuckin' minds and lonely. The suicide rate probably spikes.
I wonder if he gets goosepumps whenever he tells everyone what a great guy he is?

[GuerrillaUnReal]

It hasn't been mentioned before I don't think. But there's one man who to me is almost a dead ringer for The Big Nooron.



Only problem, there isn't a comedian there to ridicule him for laughs.
