George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[General Johnson Jameson]

'amiable doofus'

Despite my previous post, your description of Noory there is my all-time favorite. Pegged his personna perfectly 

[b_dubb]

yeah but amiable goofus is an act.  that's not the real george. he's fake.  100% astroturf.  especially the hairpiece

Hilo, the Big Island itself, was pretty sleepy and laid back when I was there once to visit a friend.  Not near as many tourists as, say, Maui, semi-rural.  It's been awhile, maybe it's not like that anymore.  If not, a creepy lounge person like George, someone that likes flashing lights, 'gaming', driving around thinking he's a big shot, is going to be bored there.  It doesn't have Maui's night life, not a lot of people around like Honolulu.  And no matter where he goes or what he does, he can't get away from being dumb lazy, boring George Noory.

Unforunately, Hawaii is a yearly business trip for me (and it is vastly, vastly overrated). Sad to say, but Hilo has followed the rest of Hawaii in the slow march to overpopulation.  Still way behind Honolulu, but you see signs of big problems in the future.   

I can imagine George finding a niche there, somewhere between the city folk that would make fun of him mercilessly and the rural types who wouldn't know him from the local exterminator.  He could be found trolling the beaches, proudly wearing his colorful "I'm the guy on the radio." t-shirt.  By night, he breaks out the corduroy blazer and takes his irresistable game to the old folks casinos.

Did anyone hear George last night talk about dunking some bully underwater?  To me it sounded like he was just making the shit up as he went.  Thank god for the coastgab stream.

Yeah, in response to the story I wrote that I wished he would hire a better fiction writer to base his life on.  After more time to consider my position, I am uncertain if that would help.  I think he would still fail in the delivery...

Tonight's guest has to be thrilled to be talking to a host like George.  George stated that he has "talked to him about breaking, computer type issues" in the past.  A world class hacker must cringe when the host only knows that there are "computer type issues" to discuss.   I think I will try to stick out the interview for 10 minutes before I turn it off and return to math puzzles for the remainder of the evening.

Aargh, either Noory took interviewing lessons or the guest has the ability to overcome poor interviewing.  I would not say it scored a "10", but I have found it interesting...

     Hacker guy, Kevin Mitnick, was interesting enough to almost rise above George's lame attempts to finish his sentences and thoughts, his interuptions, and dumb statements like, "computers seem to be growing" in popularity.  George also wondered if sometime in the future "it will be possible for someone to check their bank account [online] and it [the money] will be gone?"   It's already happening, George, and yeah, this computer fad sure does seem to be growing.  Do you live in a cave?  Do you listen to you shows sometimes?  Whatever.  Robert Zimmerman (I expected Battros) on the earthquake, and the miserable Craig Hulet on Libya.

Only managed to catch about five minutes of the show tonight (Tuesday) but even so was privileged to hear a typical Noory botch of the mother tongue. Reporting on a stabbing, The Nooron says the victim was stabbed "repeatedly" and "multiple times" -- really, George? The man has a gift: possibly dentures made from horse teeth.

lol..I signed on to post this. "stabbed repeatedly, multiple times" = Snoory trying to ad lib to make the news seem fresh and not read word for word off the computer screen.

He asked Dr Mallet something like, "if I'm here in St Louis, which is 2 hrs ahead of LA, is that time travel?"  I would have suggested to him that if it is, everybody west of the eastern time zone would be rich because they could accurately predict the stock market.  But I think it just shows how very limited GSnore's view of the world really is.  Not to mention that he is a complete numbnuts.

LOL.  Yeah, I'd imagine Ron had a silent chuckle after Noory thought up his brain fart.

Here's the exact quote with the relevant parts.

August 15, 2011 time travel discussion hosted by 'science lover' George Noory, speaking with physics professor Ron Mallett. Quoted verbatim.

GN: "If I'm in the midwest doing shows out of St. Louis, Ron, I'm two hours ahead of California time.  Theoretically, am I time traveling into the future when you're two hours ahead of a different time zone?"

RM: "No. Time zones are just...that is sort of an arbitrary designation. Ah...that's not really time travel at all"

Ron went on to politely and patiently school Noory about the thing they'd been discussing for many minutes before, and a topic George has discussed numerous times with other scientists and should be well-versed in.  But hey, that's 3x5 Noory for you.

Can't remember the former guest he was talking about, but this reminded me of the time Nooron repeatedly said "... and he was stabbed to death in the leg and remains in critical condition."

Aloha, I lived in Kona as well as outside of Pahoa, which is near Hilo.  Hilo is still very sleepy town, and don't see how GN could ever fit in there.  If a Tsunami hits, hopefully he can report live from Hilo Bay, edging ever further out into the ocean as the tide recedes prior to the big wave, sweeping GN away into the night...

I got annoyed last night during the first hour when the guest was talking about the damage a quake could do to buildings in the St. Loius and Chicago area. I wanted to hear what the guest had to say but mid sentence GN cuts him off and says "What would happen to the arch in St. Louis?" He could have just asked that after the guest was done talking, but no he cuts him off and askes then starts taking more calls and never gets back to letting the guest finish his thought.  Jerk. It seems GN hates taking calls because it means people might as questions he does not care about.

It was so funny last week though when they had a guest on about the economy and someone called up asking what to do about gold because she has been told to buy it and sell it.  GN jumped right in and said "we say buy buy buy, just so everyone knows where we stand on it." Well no shit George, you say that every hour every night.  The guest then says that the gold bubble will break and it is not a good long term investment.  George, knowing he would have lost the debate, quickly moved on and didn't bring it up the rest of the night.  Usually he goes out of his way to get a guest to talk about how great gold is and how everyone should own it. We know that is his agenda. I wonder if that guest will ever be allowed back on the show.  I sent GN an email a few weeks back with several points explaining why gold sucks as an investment, explaining why people should sell it and not buy it. He of course never reponded.

Noory: What percentage of people use computers?
Kevin Mitnick: Gee I don't know George but computers are pervasive throughout society.

Noory drove me nuts last night constantly interrupting Mitnick's answers to his questions.

[Frys Girl]

George Noory's grandson was mentioned on Monday night. He said "Congrats to my son and his wife Kristin." He called the kid "little tiny bowling ball." LMAO. When he said "Charlotte" I thought he said "Charmin." LOL Noory pronounce your words. You suck

He needs to start using Charmin.  His microphone is getting crusty.

He could be found trolling the beaches, proudly wearing his colorful "I'm the guy on the radio." t-shirt.  By night, he breaks out the corduroy blazer and takes his irresistable game to the old folks casinos.

I suspect he'll be wearing his black wife-beater, and everyone will be asking him if he is the guy from the P90X ads.

Ferkin' George.  He says he doesn't prepare so that he can think about what the guest says at the same time his audience does.  He wants the show to be more like a friendly barbershop chat than an interview.  Somewhere along the way he's heard enough other hosts proclaim a show to be theirs, so he thinks that means he can interrupt and say whatever stupid thought enters his mind.

So a lazy unprepared doofus just kicking back, jumping from topic to topic, saying whatever comes to mind, George can't quite grasp why no one listens anymore.  Can't be him, must be that the paranormal just doesn't draw ratings.

So when George started to notice 'the paranormal' wasn't drawing ratings on his show and switched over to selling fear, snake oil, and half baked ideas, I wonder how much the ratings have improved.  What, oh, they haven't?


And where is Ian on all this?  'Coast to Coast hasn't changed a bit, Coast to Coast is always changing, I don't listen to the other host's shows, did he threaten the hoover did he not put away the dishes'...

Another Noory revelation: "Kevin, did technology make it easier to be successful at what you did?".  Let's see... computer hacker.... technology.... computers.... hey, wait a minute.... BINGO!

[beachcomber]

George at the beach:

After spending all day walking along the beach, he realized to his dismay that none of the ladies were looking at him. So he asked another guy for advice.
"Well, some guys that have had that problem solved it in this way. Get a potato and jam in down inside  your swimsuit. I guarantee you'll get noticed then."

George did as he was told, but now as he strolled on the beach, the girls all just giggled when he walked past smiling at them.

"I don't get it", he said to his friend the next time he saw him. "I put that potato in my swimsuit and the women just laughed at me! What am I doing wrong?"

"Well", his friend said, "...most guys put the potato down the front of their swimsuit".

Unforunately, Hawaii is a yearly business trip for me (and it is vastly, vastly overrated). Sad to say, but Hilo has followed the rest of Hawaii in the slow march to overpopulation.  Still way behind Honolulu, but you see signs of big problems in the future.

The guest was very entertaining in spite of Noory's convivial suckitude.  And now we know what George finds truly humorous ... high school pranks.

For just his thoughtless interruptions to this guest's interesting stories, George deserves removal of his forked little tongue.   

[rolindos]

Another Noory revelation: "Kevin, did technology make it easier to be successful at what you did?".  Let's see... computer hacker.... technology.... computers.... hey, wait a minute.... BINGO!

I couldn't believe GN said that, it's like asking a mechanic if he needed cars to be successful at what he does.

[kingdomofsigh]

I suspect he'll be wearing his black wife-beater, and everyone will be asking him if he is the guy from the P90X ads.

Overheard beach conversation:

"I didn't really enjoy the Beatles until they had Jimmy Nichols step in as their drummer. Ringo was a bit too "far-out" for my tastes…"

"Oh and remember How great The Dukes of Hazzard was once Bo and Luke's cousins Coy and Vance took over? I got such a hoot out of those guys…"

[PB the Deplorable]

George Noory's grandson was mentioned on Monday night. He said "Congrats to my son and his wife Kristin." He called the kid "little tiny bowling ball." LMAO...

I'd probably be more inclined to describe a Noory offspring as more of a brick than a bowling ball.  Maybe one of the other kids has that nickname already.

But George knows how much a children love to be scared out of their wits, and the younger they are the more they like it.  Hopefully he'll have some surprises lined up to terrorize the new baby with next time he goes to St Louis.. pretty sure he won't forget the other grandchildren and will have some scary stuff lined up to terrify them with too..

[Frys Girl]

Remember when Conan O'Brien took clips of Walker Texas Ranger to expose the ridiculousness of that show? I wish Conan would do this with Coast to Coast AM. Noory would finally stop talking so much BS about being a celebrity.

Aloha my friend!  Yes, my comment on Hilo may betray my nostalgic tendencies.  I saw signs that the area might have a busier future, but it was nowhere near the bustle of the main cities. 

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure George would fit in anywhere.

 

[MrGreen]

GN is such a tool.  Only a few minutes into the show and he is pushing his fear mongering agenda and having a guest talk about a huge quake hitting California before the end of the year.  He is basically doing the same thing cable news shows do...beat people over the head with fear and sell products to make them feel better about it.  Keep them afraid and they will consume.  GN sucks ass

[Scully]

Wednesday night Noory and John Kachuba wrestled each other for 3 hours over angels and demons.  Noory was wearing colors for both entities.  Kachuba insisted on at least considering a less theological explanation for ghosts.

Got to hear precious little about the guest's extensive ghost-hunting experiences, since he was otherwise distracted by the grunting Noory.

Kachuba, an intelligent and genial guest repeatedly struggled to remind Noory that he had already answered his questions at length earlier in the match.

Some of the callers had great ghost stories, though.
