George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[RecoveringNoorholic]

George just said "I never mention him [Maharishi Mahesh Yogi] on the show because I can't pronounce his name."

[gs2offroad]

George just said "They're all taking Xanax now."
What a goofball!

        What a fool. Doesn't he know that Mandrax is the cool kids drug these days.

Regarding Georgie displaying more ignorance of something ("empath / empathy / empathetic") from the realm he's supposedly been innurustid in all his life:

He's done this a lot; demonstrate an apparent lack of comprehension of words, concepts, or incidents you know damn well he's heard before.  He's indisputably an imbecile.

But the thing that baffles me is how anyone could be that incurious!   To see or hear words and have no idea what they mean --the 5th or 20th or 100th time you see or hear them -- and just be content to let it go?!?!   To be surrounded by data that you don't comprehend and be okay with that?!?!   "Laziness" I can understand.    But this is way beyond that!   To have the precious resources of Information and Knowledge all around you, even in tiny bits, and be so totally disconnected that you won't grab it and take it in -- or even let it in.   AND be content in that utter ignorance.   Folks, I am astonished.

Forget the matter of how he got to be or keeps his job as radio "host."   I can't believe that a person, in any walk of life, can reach his age and general status without somehow having been forced to address and somehow improve such stunningly obvious cognitive shortcomings.   I'm not a psychologist nor psychiatrist nor do I play one on TV, but I think it's firmly beyond joking and speculation that Noory has some serious mental- and/or psychological problems.

Noory keeps using the phrase "wacked out" all the time, he just used it again.
Where did he get that from? It bugs for me some reason...

Noory should look in the mirror to see a real "wacked out" person.

        What a fool. Doesn't he know that Mandrax is the cool kids drug these days.

I used to have a stock bottle of Quaalude: the real stuff, Lemon 714 #5000 made by Lemon.  But I got rid of it because I thought it was a rather silly memento.  (It was the bottle, i.e. the plastic bottle, not the pills.)

It was from when I was working in a pharmacy in San Francisco in a medical building with a doctor who was homosexual and specialized in rectal surgery.  He prescribed it a lot.  It was not a legal problem for him or for us, as obviously certain problems will cause one to have difficulty falling to sleep....

Virtually every other store would only have #100's or maybe #500's -- even in SF.  I should have kept that thing.

[DangerousBlossom]

Another wasted first hour tonight with Noory.
He has some motivational speaker on - like an infomercial...

These shows are the worst!  The guests either promote absurd ideas: Yes, if you are positive enough you can get rid of your CP and never use a wheelchair again!  Or they are obvious and lame (like tonight's guest):  being addicted to alcohol and drugs may hurt your chances in life, it is best to work on one goal at a time, and keep it realistic!  I am pretty tolerant of the trash on c2c, but this makes me want to pull out my hair!

Well, you just helped in providing a verdict for me.Years ago, I worked with a real dandy fop, a Carnaby Street reject(picture an even more effeminate Roddy McDowall) who was always touting his "Mandies" and what a godsend they were. I say "aren't they just 'ludes?" and he'd sheepishly agree. I'm now certain how and where he got them, because Boston has a sizable population living an "alternative lifestyle" and we suspected he was of their ilk and in retrospect I bet he probably procured a doctor like the one you described. Not that there's anything...

Who's the entrepreneur in the group?  I'd like to see:


1. "George Noory Suds" beer steins
2. T-slurs with his most famous non-sequiturs written on them
3. George Noory cue cards with incomprehensible doodles all over them
4. George Noory pens with no ink
5. George Noory base ball caps that are one size fits all, but are always one size too small
6. George Noory calculators with no "=" button
7. George Noory branded computers with no operating system and no way to load one
8. Official "George Noory Socks" made of genuine turmeric
9. George Noory branded hamburger paddies stamped with "Raised in Chernobyl".

Hey, I'm in! How about a car called the Noory... it comes with no steering wheel. Perhaps Nissan could come out with it- the Nissan Noory.... aimless and useless, it simply occupies space and costs a lot of money. Could be the biggest automotive turd since the Yugo.

[Morgus]

Since Noory is taking another Friday night off tomorrow, he cut his guest after two hours tonight and went to open lines for the last hour.
At least we get a 3 day Noory-Free weekend as a gift now... 

[Morgus]

A caller near the end of the show tonight asked Noory about the Hawaii studio he has told about for a long time.
Noory told him that he would open up the studio in May, we shall see...

George just said "I never mention him [Maharishi Mahesh Yogi] on the show because I can't pronounce his name."

Yes... I heard that. If he avoided everything he couldn't pronounce, it would be a pretty silent show. Perhaps he should just go full-time with his "sound effects". How in the WORLD did this dipshit last this long? I was sure he would've been  bounced by the early 2000s, but astonishingly, there he still sits.

Nuggets from last night's show:

"De-salinis-isation" instead of desalination.
 
"If you flap your arms can you move in zero gravity?"

... how about the "Noory Alarm Clock" that aways rings an hour late with Noory's recorded voice: "There are no coincidences...there are no coincidences..."

[expat]

For me, the gem of last night was George and Tommy trading theology:

GN: God may have determined our destiny but we have free will, we can change things.
TD: No, whatever happens, that's what God intended.
GN: OK, pick up your final check tomorrow....

Audience: WTF???

[PortlandDangler]

 Maybe george is being lazy because he is afraid to ask questions and look MORE foolish. So instead he just mails it in doing interviews. I hate the way he deals with callers, and I think he is a terrible host. He seems to me like a plant to sabotage c2c. Why? I have no idea.

[Sardondi]

Exactly the way I feel. It simply flabbergasts me that any human of relatively normal intelligence can be so satisfied with his own blatant ignorance and incompetence. And to have that dullness and general fecklessness exhibited day after day after day, and yet never display the least embarrassment, never to be moved to improve oneself - it is beyond my understanding.

The explanation, in part, might be that he is never challenged by those surrounding him.  That, peppered with his intellectual laziness and a penchant for the mundane make for dull radio.

The network see's it as "if it ain't broke" standpoint. George has been the host for 9 years now...I think we all know he isn't going anywhere unless ratings plummet, or he DIES!

They've collected a different kind of general audience than was found under Art:  uncritical, sheep-minded, undiscerning, less educated... That shift took place over the past 9 years and is deeply embedded now. 

[Ruteger]

Look who we have for POTUS. That should tell you something about the state of affairs here in the USA. Now, if the POTUS gets a second term, say goodbye forever to the America you grew up in. Obama does not scare me - an ignorant electorate does so - very much.

Obviously a post somehow lost and delayed since 2004.

Nor should he.   I doubt if scaring you ranks high on his agenda.

an ignorant electorate [scares me] - very much.

As it should.   Those "Tea Party" rallies were enough to scare (and amuse, and disgust) anybody.


Let the NoorSuck documenting re-commence.

A caller near the end of the show tonight asked Noory about the Hawaii studio he has told about for a long time.
Noory told him that he would open up the studio in May, we shall see...

Thanks for this update, Morgus.  IIRC, Noory started promising himself that studio in Hawaii in January of 2011, saying it would be ready by February or March.  For a while, callers would ask about it, and he would always bump the date another month or two away.  He's lucked out and it's been awhile since he's been called on it ... until now when he amazingly projects it to a couple months away.


I think he went to Hawaii for his yearly one-week vacation back in December, 2010; decided it would be great to go there on "legitimate business" (i.e. a studio waiting for him), and came back spouting that "Thur buildin' me uh studeeo  in Huhwaee!" The problem came when Tommy reminded George that he tells everyone he takes only one week of vacation. Since he takes that vacation the week after Christmas, and there's no real reason to go to Hawaii any other time, George now has a dilemma.


Why he went to Mexico in December, 2011 and escaped us Hater's plot to kidnap him, I have no idea.  He could have gone to Hawaii and used that studio instead ... but that would have been during his one-week vacation.  You see the problem ... :

That sounds exactly right.  Except instead of going, he probably watched a Magnun PI weekend marathon on TV.   One of George's problems is he doesn't retain any memories of his last segment, let alone previous shows.  He always seems surprised when the callers do.

He said he went to a wedding.  Not that he has a track record for honesty.  As far as I'm concerned, he's probably never been to Mexico.

I think you're on to something. I even think Noory sees himself as Tom Selleck - I mean actually looking like Tom Selleck. There's no other explanation for the man and his "guns".

Back in the GLP "Noory Sucks" thread, a few people including me held forth at some length on the Noory-"Magnum" link ("Magnum" rather than Selleck generally).  Both are mustachioed ex-Navy officers from Detroit; take it from there.  I tried making a list of parallels between "Magnum" characters and "Coast" guests and cast; offhand I remember "Dr. Kaku = Lt. Tanaka" and "Steve Quayle = Jonathan Quayle Higgins," stuff like that.
I imagined Noory back circa Winter '80-'81 right after "Magnum" first came on; zipping down the snowy highways and byways of Detroit in a salt-eaten AMC Pacer with the "Magnum" theme-- recorded ambient off TV-- playing from a cassette player on the seat next to him...
Now that it seems that he didn't even go in the Navy until '80-'81, it all makes even more sense!!  He really was trying to BE "Magnum."

[Ben Shockley]

Hey analog, that's pretty cool that you got into his house and got that doctored "self portrait" off his bedroom wall.  Don't get caught, man, but see if you can get back in there for some more mischief!

[Morgus]

Noory's ugly mug appeared again on tonight's new episode of Ancient Aliens.
This time he presumed to be an expert on bigfoot...
