George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[PortlandDangler]

Not a word.

I'm shocked. I thought that he would have resigned live @10:05 PST.

Thanks!  If I had known Premiere wanted it taken down, I'd have grabbed it.

somebody has it.  somebody will post it again eventually.

[ziznak]

did he just cut this guy off while he was mentioning byaaand bleef to take a call? came off a bit weird to me... I figured George would be all over a chance to plug his show.  Maybe he can only mention it so many times or theres some sort of rules about how often he plugs it?

Is it me or does it seem like Timothy Green Beckley has been a bit terse with some of Noory's interjections tonight?

Tangled Web George Noory Expands His Reach as King of All Paranormal Media
By Richard Horgan on December 24, 2012 12:45 PM

Shuttling back and forth between LA and St. Louis, George Noory is a very busy man...



It's interesting every time someone writes an article about George Noory, it's filled with comments about how 'busy' he is, or mentions his 'provacative' interview style, or talks about him as an 'investigator'.  Almost as if George is writing the article, or that the person that did write it did nothing more than interview George and write the resposes he got.  It's always such shoddy journalism.  That George is on when most people are sleeping benefits him much. 

Like the lady guesting last night, people would just assume anyone in the industry for 10 years is putting in effort and is up to the job.

Even at PremRat, Tommy is busy screening calls and everyone else is home asleep - I wonder if anyone there has ever actually listened to the show for more than a segment or two.

Tangled Web George Noory Expands His Reach as King of All Paranormal Media By Richard Horgan on December 24, 2012 12:45 PM


Tangled Web, indeed, "... when we practice to deceive."   :

[Sardondi]

      For those of you who watched "The Sopranos", Linda Stasi was the inspiration for the loud mouthed Lorraine in season 5. Stasi had complained in her New York Post column in 2002 that the show lacked action(violence) so David Chase created a character in response...who was violently killed. And it's aftermath, Mob boss Johhny Sack mentioned how she got what she deserved, "whack this one, whack that one, there's never enough blood for Lorraine". Pretty clever way of fucking with the critics.

         Ok, back to George Noory sucking.

*Quick thread detour* - That scene, of Lorraine Calluzzo's murder, was disturbing to me, principally because the loud-mouthed, shit-stirring, slut bookie of the Lupertazzi family was played by Patti D'Arbanville. As the scene in The Sopranos went, the nude, sadly thick-bodied and definitely un-sexy Lorraine was reduced in the final instant of her life to scuttling away from her murderers on all fours, begging pathetically...and uselessly...for her life.

It bothered me for Patti D'Arbanville to be shown like that. In the 70's Patti D'Arbanville was somebody in the music world. She was rock royalty, primarily as Cat Stevens's longtime gf. Hell she was Cat's damn muse, at least the nearest thing to it (well, this was in the days before Cat became Yusuf Islam, back when he still permitted his gf/wife to speak and/or show her face in public). Plus she was actor Don Johnson's gf, in between marriages to Melanie Griffith, and during his white-hot Miami Vice days.

The deal about Patti D was that she was incredibly, amazingly, unbelievably lovely, but not in that big-haired, massive black eyeliner, super-slut groupie way. She was instead ultra sophisticated, full of the grace and self-assurance that made you want to stand back and just watch her walk. Stevens himself was so smitten with her that he wrote the massive hit "Wild World" about/to/for her, as well as the less-popular but eponymous "Lady D'Arbanville".

So to turn on The Sopranos and see that thick-bodied, pasty-colored frog squatting and scrambling on the floor begging for her life....it hurt me for Patti D'Arbanville for the world to see what the years had done to her. It happens to us all, but it shouldn't happen to some. And to see her squat, waist-less body so ravaged by the 30 years which passed between the time she was memorialized by one of the world's greatest singer-songwriters was difficult.

End Zeta-talk.

Sardondi, love your entire post, but I've just got to point out that Noory never did say he was "teasing" the guest.  At least that would have been an effort to mitigate his boorishness.  Instead he insisted to the bitter end that he was completely innocent of any pretension.  :

You are absolutely right. I thoughtlessly misused quotation marks in "teasing" to draw attention to the ridiculousness of what I thought was Noory's obvious intention. But I instead charged him with a quote, and he didn't say that, so I need to make it clear. Sorry, I got lazy and tired and stupid.

Now, back to standing watch over what we all silently and secretly hope could be the first cracks in George Noory's dyke. And if the previous sentence is not a gift direct from the straight-line gods, I don't know what is.

[NoMoreNoory]

E-Mail away folks!! We've gotten 4 responses so far and he's clearly rattled! Will post everything tomorrow, but I suggest striking while the Snoron's hot!!

ah man I can't wait to read em!!

on the patti D stuff.  I had no clue who she was until I started to look around earlier on imdb and wikipedia to see who played that bitch from the sopranos.  I remember when she got whacked and found it pretty disturbing but in light of her willingness to suck all of the dicks in the room when she was first threatened I think she got what she had cumming.

[NoMoreNoory]

Still going back and forth, but it is most definitely Tommy doing the corresponding as he's just sent a reply that says "He just signed for 5 more years."


Please Art.....

I hate for my first post to be a rant but I'm guessing that's nothing new here

I just ranted away in my first post a few days ago, after being inspired by someone who ranted previous to me in theirs, so yep I'm thinking it's a common pattern.  I suspect many here have feelings like yours that have simmered for a long time until some tipping point event pushes us into breaking our online silence and ripping away.  For me, it was the exasperating 10-year anniversary show that finally sent me over the edge.

[mombird3]

I hope he is not here for five more years. Maybe it was a bluff?

[Falkie2013]

A sudden thought.


What if everything is like one of those Twilight Zone episodes that Snoory loves so much and everything for the last 10 years is a dream ?


Art never left, Snoory never took over, Ramona never died and 9/11 never happened.


The alternative history ideas are seemingly endless.


And we could have a new program for Snoory to appear on.

Sorry mombird3, I bet he is there 5 more years at least. Premiere does not care about how good or bad George is, just that he makes them money.  His constant push for Coast insiders and his small (exceedingly poorly trained and slavishly loyal) staff also makes them money as Art had a bigger staff, offsite broadcast facilities, Art had standards he held them to, etc.  In the end, this is not about quality, the listeners only matter as much as they have to listen.

What Premiere does not get is that they have no competition in overnight, none.  As soon as someone does compete with this crap they will lose listeners in droves.  They do not see this, only the long term ratings success that Coast is, and I am sure they write off the listener deterioration to industry trends.  They are wrong, Art needs to prove that to them.

[zeebo]

to abruptly change gears and go in to some kind of 60's drive-time DJ doing cornball "funny" routine is just bizarre

Sometime recently, I think it might have been the dreaded 10-yr. anniv. show, I seem to remember Noory mentioning how he would give anything to have a career like Casey Kasem, the king of mainstream Top 40 AM cheeseball radio.  Maybe that's what he'd rather be doing, instead of discussing interesting and cerebral topics on Coast - ya know playing number one hits along with  wacky sound effects and goofball skits.  This reverence for the great C.K. might also explain why Noory has zero creativity when it comes to his bumper music, always playing some obvious, overplayed song, with emphasis on those played-to-death "golden oldies".

[Falkie2013]

And Jorch had better be careful.

zeebo-

George did try to play interesting bumper music once. It was so bad his staff, that slavishly loyal staff that tells him how smart he is daily, told him it sucked.  That is how terrible it was. George still told them they were wrong and insisted on a listener poll through email or FAST BLAST or something.  George lost big time, listeners hated his bumper music choices. 

George, as out of touch with listeners as he ever was.

... Noory mentioning how he would give anything to have a career like Casey Kasem, the king of mainstream Top 40 AM cheeseball radio.  Maybe that's what he'd rather be doing...

George would give anything to be famous, to be a star - doing anything.  The one thing he won't do is put in effort - he either just doesn't believe it matters or realizes it wouldn't matter in his case.

[Eddie Coyle]

Art never left, Snoory never took over, Ramona never died and 9/11 never happened.

         One of these things doesn't belong with the others. I think it could qualify as question 1 on a Wonderlic type of examination.

I still find the absolute proof of Noory's laziness was his re-playing the Morgus bit at the end of Friday show for months, maybe even a year, so he could leave and start drinking early.

It seems like over the years George has 'just signed extensions for X number of years' about a zillion times.  If he were to be believed, another 5 years would have him hosting until around 2135, which is about when the Hawaii studio is scheduled to come on line.

Just more nonsense and self-delusion from the Nooron.

Why does this not surprise me?  He strikes me as the kind of guy who, when in a restaurant, is so overwhelmed by the choices, so lazy and incurious,  that he just always picks the "Most Popular Dish" as proclaimed in the menu, and thereafter, regardless of it's quality, always declares how great it was.  Perhaps years of failures like this brief foray into different music has led him to just go with whatever society has deemed as "Number One", so that way he can always be safe.

Just for shits and giggles does anybody recall the Noory bumper tracks?

I'm sure if it was up to George, he would replace the bumper music with Carnavora commercials - restricting music to his renditions of Elvis. I do wonder when George performs Elvis live if he also includes the gyrating pelvis.

[zeebo]

Just for shits and giggles does anybody recall the Noory bumper tracks?

I don't know any of that 50's stuff, since I'm not into the whole doo-wap, shoobie-doo-wa stuff  But I know for awhile he kept playing Your Song by Elton John, which illustrates my earlier point about always picking the hit songs.  Others would be Dancing Queen by Abba and Sounds of Silence by Simon/Garfunkel.  I'm not saying these aren't good songs, but I mean  could you pick more obvious choices from any of those artists?  It's like George, they have other cool songs, some of which might actually be appropriate for the topic at hand if you actually cared and had any taste in music whatsoever. 

Edit: Sorry I thought you just meant the generic "Noory" tracks which I guess are just picked by his team.  I never heard the ones he picked himself, but I'm definitely curious how bad they were.

[somatichypermutation]

Just for shits and giggles does anybody recall the Noory bumper tracks?

I do not, it was kind of new age and unlistenable.

It was so bad I got out of bed to vote against it.

[PB the Deplorable]

George recently proclaimed he is (just now) getting into Bob Dylan.

My guess is now that a couple months have passed, if someone stopped him on the street today he wouldn't know who Dylan is.
