George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

No
No

This thread sure as hell went downhill... fast.  Yick.  It's enough to make me want to listen to Noory in order to post something about, I don't know... how he sucks.  It used to be hundreds of solid pages that I would have been proud for a PremRad executive to stumble upon.  Recently... not so much.


I really miss Valdez.


[Edit:  I shouldn't be so negative.  It'll turn back around... eventually. :) ]

I wouldn't say it went downhill at all. It was an interesting topic of discussion. As for the PremRad execs, well, this particular thread is well over 450 pages, and if they haven't clued in about Noory yet, then it's obvious they're apathetic to our delightful hate/hate relationship we have with the man.

Besides, perhaps the people here at times need to take a break from the perpetual Noory hate-on every now and then and simply have a good old fashioned coffee klatch.

The CoastGabbers meet to delve into the pain of love and sex. Life is a bitch. Discuss.  ;)

I haven't seen this on here anywhere, but a guest--Marrs I think--said something like he knows it has been a tough year for George, and that he is going through a lot work-wise deciding if he wants to continue when his contract is up soon. Hopefully Noory has been telling others that he might not continue on C2C when his contract ends.

I don't believe it for a second, but plleeeeaaaasssseee let it be true.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that guest was "psychic" Joseph Jacobs...the man who, when provided with callers' dates of birth, asks them - a few seconds later - how old they are? And of course, Snoory has to, once again, remind the audience his father passed away. Don't get me wrong - it's hard to lose one's parent - but Snoory is a narcissist to the extreme, and uses any incident or tragedy to focus the light on himself. 

As for Jacobs, what a crock of shit he is. Generic "readings" of callers. I just rolled my eyes when the one male caller told Jacobs he was considering surgery due to his serious weight problem, and Jacobs replied, "I feel that this year you need to focus on health issues." Noory's response: "Wow."

Jacobs also throws out the most innocuous "predictions", such as, "George, I feel that November of this year there will be transportation problems in the U.S." George never ONCE asked Jacobs to elaborate on that or ANY of the lame ass crap that spewed out of his mouth.

As for Snoory's "work-wise deciding", the man doesn't allot even three seconds to thinking about his job. Once on the air, it's obvious the Detroit Lobotomobile (loved that, by the way) just sits there, googling around whilst asking his cue card questions.

You're exempt from having to pull any weight for awhile since you were key to seeing to it that the_wanderer (was that his name?) has been banned!

I think you lot are subconciously trying to process the trauma of your 'relationship' with noory... think about it, we're like battered wives who don't know when to quit... ok, battered partners... even though I stopped 'sleeping with' noory months ago he still dominates my life... must be the tumeric.

Ha!  ;D

Ah, the fixer uppers.  Look at the human condition here.  Are many not trying to fix George and make him not suck?

Nah . . . we want him gone and someone competent at the mike. 

There's no "fix" for Simple George.

Words cannot even possibly begin to convey...

Noory: "Depending then on the angle then of an asteroid, could it hit the ocean and skip off like a rock and go flying somewhere else?"

I need to contact a battered listener's shelter in my area. Yet no matter how they try to help, I just know I will return to my Georgie Porgie. I'm a girl who just can't say no.

I can relate.  The thing about KFI I don't like (late-night, because I wouldn't even think of listening to their daytime line-up) is how their newsreaders are apparently told to be sarcastic with the news-- like they are just too cool to be reading that stuff; like they don't understand why they have to be reading that mundane crap about non-Ellay mortals;  -- surely some of you have noticed it.
The thing I don't understand is how so many people who are smart enough and interested enough to find a forum like this are simultaneously ignorant of how to listen to "Coast" online (or by using the phone technology you mentioned) AND -- more importantly-- how to do so (and download shows) without paying the goons who employ Noory.

Yes, but the entire state of California pretty much has the same attitude.  The reason I listen to KFI is I like TCJ and the Dark Secret Place show.  On Fridays, Conway and Steckler are on, which is generally pretty amusing. 

It is surprising how little mention there is here about the various ways to stream audio via internet and mobile access.  Maybe Coast Gab members are closet Luddites?  Beats me.

I'm a loud and proud Luddite. "Ned Ludd" is my patron saint. Things weren't meant to be easy and streamlined. It's unnatural.

Grimace

Oh dear, my favorite Noory moment of last night was the Ptolemy Tompkins interview when they were having a back and forth about ouija boards,

Tompkins, "No its kind of more like going to Penn Station at one in the morning."
Noory, "*Noron chuckle* Which isn't safe."

Uh...? Other than not being crush-loaded with commuters and having to put up with the occasional gaggle of drunks (which I used to be a part of plenty of times) and a few vagrants who will approach you for an awkward conversation - it is a perfectly safe public place. Then again, this was "ship's captain" George Noory talking. He probably pictures the place like one of the subway stations in the Warriors, if he's even seen that or knows what city its in.

"The ODDS are, you could have a problem."  ;D :o

Heh. Perfect.

It's George's idea of important cinema verite', a true story ripped straight from today's headlines. He's almost certain that it was members of either The Lizzies or the Baseball Furies who came very close to almost thinking about attempting to plan to conspire to kidnap him in Mexico.

I'd typify the relationship more as a hate-ridicule-laugh relationship with Noory.

sNoory gave sole credit for writing "The Coming Global Superstorm" to Whitley last night.
If he's that stupid, he sucks.  If he intentionally left out Art, he sucks.

Noory is sometimes ...well, purposely dumb.

Yeah, but that would only stop him from replicating himself.  We need something that will shut him up.

When George Noory came on the air
Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her radio forty whacks
When she again heard his voice with the rising sun
She gave her computer forty-one

Morgus

Anyone catch Noory's tirade against those he calls 'haters' near the end of the show last night?
He told the guest that they are people without a life and use aliases to hide their true identity to avoid being sued for their slanderous postings about him all over the internet. :o
