George's Appearance on The Spec Sheet (A podcast)

[MV/Liberace!]

hahahahaha, fucking bateman.

[Jocko Johnson]

?? Will the real jorch please stand up? 
So which is it...no strings or does he have conditions?

MV being that he is the superior intelect and one of if not the smartest guy around he'll come try to trick you with his forked tongue to get u to see things his way....

[Jocko Johnson]

Lucky man, he is giving you his permission...ha ha LOL!!

MV, assuming he does come on the cast, you have got to ask him what prompted him to request removal of the thread in such a manner.   After his call, I really felt like he was being straight forward with everyone, but after the email I thought "Holy shit, my lie detector just got Weebered HARD by Noory himself."   I know that it is true, but I just have a hard time accepting the email because he was so believable during the podcast.  Even though you clearly don't enjoy his style as the coast host, you are definitely polite to the guy and I'm looking forward to this show if it happens - it will be an instant classic.

This forum is fair and balanced. It's not our fault that the "George Noory Sucks" thread is 1309 pages longer than the "George Noory is Awesome" thread.

[Meanandnasty]

This forum is indeed fair and balanced.  There is also a "Noory is Awesome" thread.  Maybe as a condition to come on the podcast, that thread should be removed?

Mr. Noory has said on numerous occasions, "I am a Newsman!"  With that journalistic responsibility comes the task of presenting all sides on a viewpoint.  There is also the commentary angle, and the Compendium does that on this forum.

Get the big boy britches on when you come to visit.  Get a Clue, this is no Candyland all of the time. 

I find it disturbing that as an original condition of the interview he attempts to censor those viewpoints and the 1st Amendment rights, and that is the host of Coast?

Those are just some immediate talking points. If he has agreed to come on the podcast with no conditions, then be well with that. 

The invitation to be interviewed should have been looked upon as a compliment that was joyously accepted unconditionally.

Curtis Thornton (themudking) and I do a technology podcast called The Spec Sheet.  Some of you are already aware of this.  On the November 5th show (which you can listen to here), George Noory called in as we spoke about Art's departure from SiriusXM.  During the call, George mentioned he'd like to reappear on the show and take questions from all of you without limitation.  He mentioned a private message he'd sent to me about the matter, but I hadn't read the message at the time he mentioned it.  Well, yesterday I finally got around to reading the message.


It says pretty much what he said it would, with one additional bit.  In order to appear on our show, he wants the George Noory Sucks thread to be removed and replaced with something more "positive."  Again, I say... this guy's got some balls.  Wrecking balls.  The type that take down fortified steel structures.


George, we get it.  You came on the show, you were nice, admitted a few faults, answered a couple of my ill conceived questions, and generally made a couple of friends.  However, I don't see how this changes anything with regard to the ongoing existence of the GNS thread.  It's merely a repository of thoughts and opinions people have expressed about you and/or your show.  Sure, those thoughts and opinions aren't always positive, but based on the name of the thread, one shouldn't expect them to be.  The thread is packed with comedy gold, history, references to long forgotten events, and general brilliance.  Rather than delete it, I'd like to have it professionally printed and sold at B&N.


The GNS thread is what it is.  It sprouted organically, it's responsible for the very existence of this forum, and it's here to stay.  Also, George, you've been posting in that thread for some time now, which as I see things, seems to even further demonstrate the thread's validity.


Godspeed, onward and upward, and don't stop believin'.


Discuss.

The Oates appearance the other month was so beyond douchey and all he said about it was that "it just popped up."

Yeah, let's just all scrub our minds here and erase the reason most people found this forum, through the Google search of 'George Noory sucks.' Oh, but he changed his avatar to a crown so he must be the king of us now right? Oh sweet Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

...or Good Morning America, or The View, or Captain Kangaroo.  It is more like American Gladiator or Survivor for stoned retards.  2 thumbs up!

MV! If you don't cease and desist with the George Noory Is Awesome thread I will absolutely stop scrawling your podcast phone number on gay bar bathroom stall walls. I'm sirius dude!

The obvious question here is what are you doing in gay bathroom stalls? 
Not judging.

[Sardondi]

I don't know if this forum is what you'd call "fair", because I don't know that anyone can really produce something like that and have a place of any real value or even worth visiting. What I can say is that it's not unfair, which is a different thing, and actually more important.

Aldous is searching for more folks for us to hate.  What a trooper!

[Textor]

i've long considered this a possibility, but i suspect there are plenty of attorneys using this forum who would be MORE than happy to represent me at low or no cost in such a situation.

"It is the opinion of this court that the George Noory Sucks thread contains verifiable evidence and is therefore not libel against the plaintiff. The court rules that George Noory DOES Suck, and furthermore the court issues a restraining order against Mr. Noory. Mr. Noory is hereby ordered to stay at least 500 feet away from all broadcasting equipment or be subject to fines or imprisonment."

I just heard the podcast yesterday. So he came on to play nice, but with the agenda that he'd schmooze the guys so they'd get rid of the negative online thread about him? Classic. With all that talk about having a thick skin for this stuff you can still tell it drives him nuts he can't control everything negative said about him online.

Bravo ! Bravo ! Huzzah ! Huzzah !

I don't think he's going to like my Pizza Roll Zone video I sent him either.
Oh, if I only had the recording and video skills of my old school friend Dwight !
He owns a video and audio recording studio in SF.
