George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[bmd88]

For the record, I didn't say anything of the sort. That was your inference. My point was that the guest in question, far from being a serious medical expert, is all over the map concerning the subjects he writes and lectures about.

I'm something of a 911 Truther myself, though of the there-are-a-lot-of-unanswered-questions variety, rather than the Bush-and-Cheney-personally-flew-the-planes-by-remote-control partisan political nutballs.

I think you were trying to tie the two together- to make him look even crazier since he is a "9/11 truther".  That's how it came across.  Anyway, I, too, have my doubts about Bush and Cheney and their involvement - not everyone who does is basing it on politics.  I am far from a liberal.

Maybe listeners should take up the duty of calling in and questioning since George prefers to twiddle his thumbs.

Now that's a solid suggestion - basically fire GS and make it a four hour call in show. The guests can book themselves, call in and have a screener handle the switchboard, cut to commercials, go to breaks, etc. We should do an email campaign to the affiliates giving them the idea of a listener run overnight show. It couldn't be any worse, saves GS salary and might actually be entertaining. Just like Snoory was 'sprung' on us with no notice when Art left - they could just fire his ass and tell the audience, "Good news! It's your show now and here's how it works..." People would love it. They could call in or just email their questions (like Google is doing with tonight's Republican debate). You don't even need an announcer - just use Dragon speech alternating between sexy male and female voices.

I've really got to stop drinking before noon...

Haha!  I love this!  Can't get much worse than Noory- I would actually be intrigued by this.

     I'm running out of adjectives for pinhead Craig P. Hulet, so I won't even try. What astounds me is how George can agree with everything he says, and when he has on neocon, Greg Hunter, George also agrees with everything Hunter says. It simply not possible. One day somebody should call in and run down the list of things George has said "absolutely" and "theres no doubt about it" to. Memo to George and Hulet: I wouldn't call possible Saudi involvement with 911 "shocking". Words have meaning. The Vatican, or Canada, or Clark Howard being behind 911 would be "shocking". The Saudis not so much.
     First guest Richard Heinburg would have us living in communes rather than continue using and exploiting oil, and gas, and any other of our practical God given energy sources. He also said that the American economy was done, and that it couldn't grow anymore, and as an analogy he spoke of hamsters and how after they are born they double in size every few days until they reach maturity....
     Heinburg: "Now imagine if they just continued to grow. After a year they would..."
     George: "-They would be the size of a guinea pig."
     Heinburg: "...They would weight thousands of tons"
     George: "...Yeah."
     Yeah. Well that's true too. Right, George? Whatever.

I actually enjoyed last night's show, though no thanks to George, and not because I agreed with the guests.  Agreed that George is a yes-man to nearly every guest, probably because they pay him to get on.  Hulet said some interesting things, many of them surprising to a lot of conservative listeners, especially the fact that Obama has expanded the "war on terror." This probably made a few right-wing heads explode, as they would prefer to think of Obama as a Kenyan Communist limp-wristed tree-hugging faggot (not even close!).  Yeah, it's sure not shocking that some elements of the Saudi government were most likely supporting those terrorists.  What's shocking is that someone like former Sen. Graham has called for a new investigation.  Sen. Graham, the brother-in-law of former Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham is hardly a crazy outsider.  I don't know how little proof there is that Osama was or was not behind 9/11.  Is a Mafia capo somewhat responsible for the crimes of his soldiers, even if he didn't draw up each and every intricacy of every crime? 

Assuming that you're a big oil fan, unlike Heinberg, or even if you're a realist like me, Saudi Arabia is a really tough case for the US, considering we depend upon them for oil.  Obviously, there are elements in the Saudi government who are our friends and then there are many who are not.  Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is a pressure cooker that's getting ready to explode.  Women, Shi'ites and democracy activists meet in secret and not-so-secret.  The king just bribed all citizens $10,000, just because, lol.  Part of me cheers on these activists, but another part of me just shudders to think how high our gas prices would go if Saudi turned into Syria.  The Libyan uprising was bad enough! 

I digress.  There was a typical Noory trainwreck when Noory asked Heinberg about "solar energy from the sun."  Bwahahahahahahahahah.

Yes, and don't forget about turmeric and cumin.......

I think this might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard Noory say, although that list is 10 miles long.  During the Lyme disease episode (which George repeatedly referred to as "Lyme's disease" even though the guest already told him that it's not named after a person but rather a place), a caller said that she had it and that it made her mad to the point where she felt she needed to have "one of those white things they wrap crazy people with to prevent them from harming others" or something to that effect, OBVIOUSLY referring to straightjackets.  There was a little bit of silence and the woman didn't know what to call it, so George idiotically jumps in and says PADDED CELLS!!!, like he's Mr. Smarty Pants Know-it-All.  I couldn't believe it.  I know George Noory is dumb but even that surpassed my expectations as I expect every 12-year-old with average intelligence knows what a goddamn straightjacket is.  SHEESH

[DangerousBlossom]

"What astounds me is how George can agree with everything he says, and when he has on neocon, Greg Hunter"

Greg Hunter isn't a neocon, he wants the U.S. to wind down its wars in the Middle East and supports Ron Paul.

Of course, George does agree with just about everything every guest says even when it is totally contradictory.  I am glad to have found a board where other people notice this and find it lame or annoying.

[Falkie2013]

There is no part of his show that even comes close to being near as good as Art.

Art on his worst day just had a way of making you want to listen to the next show. He would bring together so many topics and he would find a way to make it exciting.
George is unable to do ANYHTING.. His so called "Round Tables" are attempts to get alot of guests together so he doesn't have to do a show or allow him to ask the same question 5 times etc.

Can George ever be as good as Art? NO!

Can George improve? Yes and the simple way he could improve is if he simply TOOK PART during his interviews, if he listened and made an attempt to be involved in a conversation rather then just read questions prepared for him.

The problem with that is, George is not capable of quick thinking, of doing an interview on the fly. He is lost in a sea of his own minimal talent.

The biggest way Snoory could improve is for him to quit Coast and for the network to beg Art to return.

Like the beleaguered Oakland A's fans Wednesday who chanted :

" Bean Must Go ! "

True Coast fans should now tell the network that Snoory must go.

My cat sleeping is more exciting than Snoory.

I haven't turned on my radio since last weekend, and I still skipped tonight's 1st hour of economic gloom and doom. Loving UFO and strange stuff, though, I tuned in for the 2nd segment.

Turned out to be a battle of the Nitwits, with Guest correcting Host every other sentence, and Host interrupting Guest with what he's just Googled on the off-sentences. They built up quite a rythym.  :

[rangers1919]

Last night Noory was on fire. It would be hard to cram more references to abiotic oil theory into an interview--he even had to double and triple-up on some of his questions. He had a good cadence going with his read directly from index card, get answer, move to next index card while ignoring answer. There were multiple good statements from the guest that could have lead to interesting discussions, but the next card was waiting. The only follow up questions had to do with abiotic oil, and in one case, "How did Saudi Arabia get so much oil?"

Tonight, Robert Chapman, the man who has predicted the full collapse of the U.S. dollar year after year. From my quick Google search I've found him predicting the collapse of the dollar at the end of 2010, in 2009, in 2008, 2007, 2006 (in a decent article citing the housing/stock bubble which was pretty obvious by this time), and 2005 when he predicted hyperinflation. I didn't look any earlier than this, but I can almost guarantee they are there. Gold, silver, gold; make check payable to Robert Chapman, not International Forecaster was a nice touch on one of his sites--seems pretty legit, even though I must say it was one of his more legitimate articles with some decent, but misguided and skewed points.

     Robert Chapman seemed like a nice guy, and not as grating on the ear as others can be, but what are we suppose to do?   The whole economic doom thing is wearing me out.  I expected nothing from Timothy Green Beckley, who's segment was billed as "aliens are demons" something or other, but mostly the guy was all over the place, and he had some cool celebrity ufo stories, which in itself may be a topic worth doing considering the "straight ufo" thing has just about run it's course.
     So Wells is covering tomorrow because George is "on assignment"?  What does that mean?  Who would give an "assignment" to George?

I'm glad some people take the time to fill me in on what I'm missing by not listening anymore.  Sounds like the show has completely derailed under GN 'leadership'

[b_dubb]

why tumeric?  there's a lot of scientific research about how cinnamon can help metabolize sugars - a boon to diabetics.  but has anyone heard it mentioned on  the show?

[fysisist]

who knows?  I think some quack told Noory about turmeric a few years ago.  Turmeric has put the black back in the Noory mustache, by golly, the lead back in the Noory pencil (a very disturbing image).

[Morgus]

noory 'on assignment' must mean he is investigating a local strip club or something? 
noory has been taking fridays off a lot lately, and the fridays he shows up he usually cuts out early in the last hour and sneaks in an old replay instead...

BAhahahahahaha! Coast to Coast has such low quality guests. No quality control whatsoever.

I think he refers to them as "classic" shows.   

[Lovely Bones]

I think he refers to them as "classic" shows.   

I get the impression GN uses "classic shows" to refer to nights when Art Bell would have done the topic (not necessarily invited the guest).  IMO, he's differentiating between the paranormal topics and what he sees as the "new and improved" shows which he, George Snoory, has brought to Coast. 

Excuse me while I puke.

+1

I get the same impression and feeling of nausea when he blurts out "This has all the makings of a CLASSIC Coast to Coast show".

They have a name for that economic gloom & doom of which you speak.  It's called "recession porn."  I'll have to check out old newspapers to see how much "depression porn" there was in the 1930s.  I don't think that I can take much more. 

I'm sorry I fell asleep before the paranormal guest came on.  No matter how moronic George is, there's nothing like a good paranormal guest talking about aliens. 

[fabucat]

BAhahahahahaha! Coast to Coast has such low quality guests. No quality control whatsoever.

C'mon, this isn't CSPAN Washington Journal, lolz, or PBS News Hour.  As if they're going to get the OMB Director (although former OMB Directors Mitch Daniels & Peter Orzag are kinda hawt) or something.  Also, C2C would be really dull if they had "respectable guests" (other than the scientists).  It's bad enough when George becomes Oprah After Dark and has on self-improvement gurus.

[JustOneFix]

Slightly inebriated so all I will say is -------- Fuck Noory! He sucks.

Cut all the bullshit and that's the god damn fact. He Sucks ass with a capital S.

[Frys Girl]

fabucat, recession porn to me means bad quality imaging/cheap cameras. I think it's sad that people are turning to Coast in bad economic times rather than doing things like using wits to start businesses or being creative.


As much as I hate people who depend on the government, I hate it more when people turn to freaks and liars in bad times. George Noory has no expertise in anything. he's not even good at lying and shilling. If you want a fake prophet, go for someone good at least, someone with looks and good taste, not a turmeric snorting pussy fart like Noory.

If I hear him say "this is a family show" one more time, I'm going to call in and cuss him out and tell him I'm turned on by the picture of the cheetoh chasing seagulls on the Coast to Coast AM web site.

[HAL 9000]

not a turmeric snorting pussy fart like Noory.

You say that like that's a bad thing...   though I might agree tumeric snorting might be bad 

[Frys Girl]

You say that like that's a bad thing...   though I might agree tumeric snorting might be bad 

Haha.


Seriously, though. George Noory's on the radio at 3 in the morning and he thinks saying poop is wrong? But he has no problem saying to cancer patients "forego chemo and go for the vitamins and fruits." What a this is reckless!

[Harmness]

Tumeric snorting might be bad 

It really really stings.

[b_dubb]

try snorting wasabi.  if you REALLY want to clear your sinuses .... wasabi

Right.  Just like when they brought out "New Coke" to replace what they then dubbed "Classic Coke."  And we all know how that turned out!

Wait ... maybe there IS hope. 

[Lovely Bones]

OMG Scully, I swear I had this very same "Classic Coke" thought just the other night while I was forced (by insomnia) to listen to Noory. 

As a Coke lover, I hated New Coke.  Then I got my wish.  Let's all click our heels three times and say, "Classic."

Wait, wrong analogy.
