George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Guest:  "The climate changes regularly but we're the cause of this one"
*some other stuff in between*
George:  "It's a cycle, isn't it?"

[NoMoreNoory]

Joorch trying to maintain a serious conversation with this guy should be entertaining. I talk to my dog a lot, and I tell him I know he understands English.

[Rico999]

I, for one, am looking forward to listening to this next interview.  At least I would be if I thought George would have any interesting questions.

The guests, some of them anyway, are the only reason left to listen to the program.  When a good guest is scheduled all you can hope for is that Dave doesn't ask too many cringe-worthy or stupid questions.  You know by heart what the 3x5 cards contain, so that's a given. Don't even think about followups, either -- he missed that part of "J" school.....

That's precisely the reason why Noory's Linda Moulton Howe interviews are his best shows. 

These "interviews" have become such a joke, it would be better for everyone if Noory changes the format of Coast so that the guests present an uninterrupted two-three hour lecture, followed by listener calls in the last hour.

yep.

What are we? 10 minutes in? Dave is drowning not waving already. Someone put an alarm call in to Fanthorpe, if he hasn't been up all night with the UK election results (very depressing). Failing that, did Joshua P hit the sack yet?

He's definitely flailing.

[NoMoreNoory]

Joorch says, of Isaac Newton, 'What would he be doing today.....' and I added, almost in unison with him, '....if he had a computer'.
Genuinely pathetic.

YES TOMMEEE

I DO expect to hear a good show every night, way to lower expectations!

Did you all hear the news?

Confirmed: We wil be live on Shortwave Mon-Fri on WTWW 5.085. Heard Nationwide and beyond, now that should be fun.

People will be ditching The George Noory Show in droves come July, and the mustachioed moron will be no more.

Aarrgh I take two weeks off from c2c then tune into tonite's second half, as the guest sounds interesting, and oh dear what an embarrassment of an interview.  Truly awful.  Did he somehow get worse in the last few weeks?  Is it just that my tolerance is down?  I mean I'm sitting here shaking my head in disbelief at these kinds idiotic, rehashed questions ....

Do you wonder how did it all start?  Will we ever get that answer?

What's new in physics that Einstein didn't know?

Did an apple really fall on Newton's head?

What would Hawking and Einstein talk about?

What could Newton have done with our modern electronics?

When i look up at the moon and sun i wonder why everything just doesn't fall down.

Thirteen billion years is just a spec of time, isn't it?
Guest:  Um ... well, yeah compared to infinity.

If I were a guest, I think I would become audibly annoyed with most of the questions.

Actually, I think he got better.

WTF!!!   He really asked that?  Just when you think Jorch couldn't get any dumber, he asks this.

No way, he really asked that?  I've only half been listening, wow just wow.

I figured once Art made his announcement tonight George's brain went into a complete meltdown.

[zeebo]

I mean seriously, this is my main frustration with this friggin doofus.  You get a decent guest, obviously with a lot of deep knowledge about a deep subject, and it's just friggin frittered away as usual.  So much cool info to be mined for the listener, and instead, we get the same old tired trite questions and vacant ramblings. 

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

WTF!!!   He really asked that?  Just when you think Jorch couldn't get any dumber, he asks this.

It wasn't quite that direct.  He started off with this vague notion of gravity and the Moon, mentioned that he was talking about people who were astronomy novices, threw some things in the middle, hemmed and hawed, and then came up with the clincher at the end about the Moon and Sun falling down.  Somewhere in there he lost the train of thought between his original premise and the conclusion to the question.  Or maybe he didn't.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

George and his freaking hypothetical questions:

"What would happen if the grid went down?"

"Did you know that if the grid went down nine out of ten people would die?"

"Where will we be in 500 years?"

"What would happen if you took someone from thousands of years ago and put them in modern society?"

"Would Newton be like a genius today?"

Technical Guest:  "uh, yeah.  Sure."

[zeebo]

Actually, I think he got better.

Thanks GFP and, oh dear - it's possible.  I'm quite discombobulated after not listening for awhile, and getting those jarring Noory blatherings like "What about Darwin, how important was he?" before jumping to some totally unrelated question from the ol' 3x5 quiver.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Now he's setting up an interview with Steven Hawking.

Please, George, do that during your office hours between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m..

It wasn't a quote, but a very close paraphrase.  I distinctly remember him saying something like "forget about gravity" before asking the falling Moon question.  Any streamlink members care to give us the verbatim exchange when it becomes available?

[trostol]

i missed the first hour of this guest cause i had to turn Dave off when talking to the first guest as it was just...a topic HE should not cover..now i hear him asking a dumb question about talking to Hawking

Oh, I wasn't faulting your description.  That was the gist of his question and he did start it that way.  I was just giving George the benefit of the doubt that maybe he got lost somewhere between the beginning and the end.

[21st Century Man]

Could you imagine the dumb questions Noory would ask Hawking?

"Stephen, is the Earth flat? It looks flat to me."

"Stephen, do you remember that old Twilight Zone episode, To Serve Man?  Do you think the aliens really want to eat us?"

"Stephen, how does it feel to be disabled?"

To which Hawking should reply.  "Well I've been through a lot but I'm still not as handicapped as you are, George.  At least I have a functioning brain."

Imho it's not so much the exact phrasing, it's the silly childish spirit in which it was asked that makes it facepalmable.  I mean he's talking to a guy who writes books with Hawking about deep and profound ideas.  It's like a little kid asking a grandmaster chess player why the funny bishop guy looks like that.
