Topic: List Noory's Preferred Callers

[Jethro Capone]

Noory's callers (especially on Friday nights) have changed since many of us found the show. There was a time when there were many great calls about flying saucers and scary monsters, and some of the ghost stories kept you on the edge of your seat. How things have changed! I'll list a few of the present preferred callers, and you can add your own.

1.The Flatterers:
These callers, some of whom believe what they say, obviously are given preferential treatment, and they go to the head of the call line (a good way to get through the triple-screening process?). They praise Noory to the high heavens in an over-the-top manner, and he pretends to downplay it, although he lets them flatter him as much as they want. Some of their compliments sound as genuine as a three-dollar bill.
Caller Voice: George, you're the best talk show host ever, a combination of Einstein and Ghandi, and I credit you with helping save the world."

2:The Fanatics:
They also get preferential treatment, and there must be some kind of quota system for this type of caller. They often are the last caller of the night, and they insist that (the subject of the night) is really a demon, which makes you question why they even listen to the show. They are absolutely convinced that they're right, will not even listen to other views, and they often quote long verses of the Bible to "prove" their point.
Caller Voice: "The Bible says that ETs [or Bigfoot, ghosts, psychics, etc.] iz demons, and anybody who don't agree is blind and deceived."

3.The Regulars:
You recognize them by name or voice, and it seems like they get on the air several times a month. This proves that the rules of don't apply to them for some reason (some people think that they work for Prem Rad). I noticed that a Brooklyn woman seems to get on the air as much as Blair, from Arizona.
Caller Voice: "This is Annie, from Alabama, and I wanna talk about my new patent."

4. The "Depresser":
This type of caller likely is on the air more than any other type these days, sucking the life out of the room with their sad tales of woe. They're like depressing relatives that you dread to talk to at family reunions. Their calls are, more or less, just lists of personal tragedies such as life-changing injuries and terminal illnesses.
Caller Voice: "I saw my mother's ghost at the foot of my bed one night five minutes after she died from cancer, and she warned me that my alcoholic brother would soon perish in a car crash, and this on the heels of my dream that forecast the death of my drug-addicted sister whose son tragically...."

I guess you could call him a regular:  "Bill" from West Hartford, Conn.  He used to start with "I'm an amateur astronomer", last time it was "amateur scientist."  Then he always states that he's an atheist.  GIVE THIS GUY SOME VALIUM !  I know he admits to being bi-polar, or ADD, 
or OCD, or something, but his meds aren't working.  We all know he doesn't believe in God, that's his right, but why does he continually get past the call screeners in order to tell us?  He's a broken record, which I'm told is the most apt description of someone with OCD.  Too bad for his impairment, but keep him off the air until he has something new to say.

old Bill has called in regularly for many years, starting with Art Bell in the 90s.
yeah he always says the same stuff at the start about being an atheist and an amateur astronomer. everyone already knows that Bill - from your last 100 call ins!
I swear he has called in at least 3 times this past week alone. Isn't there a rule about only one call per month?

I recall years ago he admitted he has never had a date with a woman (he said he was in his early 50s I think) and Noory offered to set him up with a female c2c listener.
no wonder he was concerned about his rights to watch porn videos and magazines in his call last night.
he is an ultra liberal too and is always in fear of the republicans taking power - he referred to that as well last night.
funny how when they last controlled both senate, congress, and presidency under Bush they didn't ban porn though.

  Hearing Noory's callers nightly is tantamount to being a FBI profiler at Quantico. You can identify and classify what type of mental defective is on the phone almost immediately. They all sound potentially dangerous, I envision Squeaky Fromme for many of the female callers and many of the male callers sound like they're calling a Memphis all night radio show in 1965 to rail against "Martin Lucifer Coon and all them outside agitators from Jew York City"...

       With Art's show is was benign kooks. With Noory, it's malignant psychos.

I almost think this is a troll post. I am not sure if the complaint is the guy is an atheist,  obsessive compulsive, of if he gets too much air time. I have never heard him so hard to say.


On his atheism, well OCD is more readily treated than delusional behavior is. If it weren't for the delusion of god being so prevalent it would be treated with psychotropics. As for OCD, it is more of a set of coping skills used to reduce stress. Many times the behaviors are not specifically apparent or observably redundant.


Repetitive speech is more related to Asperger syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Bipolar disorder does have some amount of delusional behavior with intrusive repetitive thoughts that can present in speech but I do not get the feeling it is what may be going on here.


As to keeping off the air till he has something new to say... say that about noory and it is manna from heaven (notice how I went biblical there).


Listening to noory and expecting cogent, intelligent listeners is probably more mentally ill than the caller being complained about.

[TaoOfLuxLisbon]

Bill's definitely got issues. He froths at the mouth about religion in an unhealthy manner, and I'm an agnostic. Quite frankly I'm surprised George is that receptive to him.

Don't forget "The Stoners". These are usually people who claim they "just discovered" the show......and sound totally whacked out of their gourd on pot. They ask George questions about shadow people and sleep paralysis in such reverent tones like he is a friggin expert. Face it, the show and it's combination of whacked out subjects and George's ignorance is perfect for someone high on Friday night.

"The Paul-ites" are also coming along on the outside, I suppose they are close to the "Fanatics". They bring up Ron Paul CONSTANTLY. One called Ian a few weeks ago during his superhero show with Depak Chopra's son and started shitting up a good show by calling old Ron a superhero. I thought Ian humored this poor soul a little too long, and seemed to piss him off when he dared to suggest if all superheros have fatal flaws, what is Paul's? Well, that didn't fit into this guy's agenda, so of course he had no good answer other than "He didn't try hard enough last election".

It could be, since the host is the energy Dracula. He "vuntz" to suck your soul.

He called last night. He panicked over the prospect of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party confiscating his stache of precious pornography when they gain power. He said that the Republicans would ban smut. You'll recall how Ronald Reagan put Hugh Hefner in prison for life while members of the Moral Majority raided Bob Guccione's penthouse in the middle of the night. Bill demonstrates that radical atheists can be just as annoying as religious fanatics. He and the Born Again trucker (add him to the list) should have a debate on one of Ian's shows. Brother Michael Dimond could be there too. I would actually pay to hear that one.

     Obviously, you've intentionally overlooked the assassination attempt of Larry Flynt! That occurred on March 6,1978 -smack dab in the middle of the...Carter Administration...uh,never mind.

You gotta wonder if some of the callers took the brown acid at Woodstock. Speaking of Squeaky, one of the preferred callers, likely around Fromme's age, sounds like she had a few bummers in her time. She sounds like the embodiment of the Age of Aquarius and New Age bromides. She doesn't call as much as she did in the past. I couldn't tell you her name if my next incarnation depended on it. She sounds a bit like Marilyn Monroe, if that rings a bell. In fact, I think that she appeared on the old Howard Stern TV show. She reminded me of one of the characters (the bleached blonde with a little-girl voice) on "Cheers".

That's a good addition to the list. In fact, Noory might even agree that a good portion of the callers are "drunk and delusional". It seemed like half the callers last night called from Willie Nelson's tour bus. I got a contact high just from hearing them.

Joseph Paul Franklin was the White supremacist culprit. He tried to murder Flynt because he featured interracial couples in his material.

     I KNOW EXACTLY who you're talking about. I'm jogging my memory to recall her name,(it was some new age moniker) but she appeared on his WWOR show in 1991 and the last time I recall hearing her was probably June,1993. Total whacko, she'd be roughly 70 if she's alive.

    Ahh...you're as sick as me. Franklin,who killed about 20 during his 1976-1980 spree, is one of those relatively anonymous serial killers who are totally under the radar in terms of infamy, but if you read about what he did, it's stunning. The fuckin movie portrayed him as a 50 year old,but he was about 28 at the time.

   And I'll absolutely take responsibility for a thread about Noory's callers "devolving" into serial killer talk.

Franklin Voice: "Who do I gotta kill to get a little recognition in here?"

Yeah, I'm going to Heck. Franklin was one of the rare breeds who killed outside of his race. The Zebra Killers faded into obscurity too.

I'm gonna try to recall the name of that actress on "Cheers". She married Carla's ex on the show. She and Eddy(?) starred in a short-lived spinoff. The title was Eddy's surname.

     Jean Kasem. Wife of "The American Top 40" host...later star of the "Tortellis" in 1987.

     The Zebra killers...Islamic terrorism but unacknowledged as such. The "Death Angels" were all Nation of Islam members, the legal defense for them was funded from the Chicago HQ. Shoosh, we're not supposed to even know about it...

    Oh..that nut on Stern..her name was Croix.

Thanks for the info! I thought that it might be "The Tortellis". Yeah, I got a blurred mental image of Croix and Kasem when that preferred caller was on the air. She was quite a character.

As synchronicity would have it, I just saw a commercial for "To Catch A Serial Killer". Both the Zebra Killers and Yahweh Ben Yahweh don't appear on many Top Ten lists. It's part of a larger trend (enough said). The latter was honored in his city BTW.

Howard Stern WackPack member: Croy
Croy is arguably one of the wackiest Wack Packers. She has riveted Stern fans since 1994 with her astounding claims that Ronald Reagan and Fidel Castro stole her blueprints for a "nuclear incubation" project she was working on. Croy, who is always decked out in glitter, feathers and fur, once got completely naked in the studio for a "Frankenstein Makeover" contest.

    Oh Dear Lord...well, I guess she isn't dead. That's why I stopped gambling. Wow. I'd forgotten her nude Makeover appearance that must have been about 12 years ago...yuck. I recall Jackie the Jokeman screaming when she removed her robe. It was hysterical.

    Remember the Hollywood maxim "all serial killers must be like Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs" or Kevin Spacey in "Seven". Of course,no ACTUAL killers are like that, but hey I'm carping. That's why "Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer" blows those films away,IMO.

      Jean Kasem...another reason I prefer brunettes.

Good find! I *think* that she was one of Noory's preferred callers. The personality and the voice match. The stuff about Castro sounds like something that she would say. She might have even mentioned that story on Coast. Maybe she'll do us a solid, and call the show tonight. I hope that she's alive and healthy, in any event. She was one of a kind.

Yep, they didn't fit the, er, profile. I really liked "Silence", but "Henry" bothered and disturbed me on a deeper level. There was a frightening immediacy to it. It was almost like a real series of filmed events. The *real* story of Lucas was even worse. His childhood was the stuff of nightmares. The abuse and neglect were off the charts. It would have been more surprising if he did *not* grow up to be a serial murderer.

     The scary thing....Ottis Toole's upbringing and depravity actually exceeded Lucas!

     Saw "Henry" in a theater packed with 7 people the weekend the Gulf War began(Jan 18,1991) the movie hit me like a ton of bricks. The realism, the spartan film making. I liked "Silence", which I saw 2 months later,but the Hollywood ending annoyed me. I prefer a bloody suitcase on the interstate as a finale...

[Jethro Capone]

I'll add "The Meanderer" to the list. This is the caller who rambles about *some*thing (we're not quite sure what) in an incoherent and incongruous fashion. Noory seldom stops, and sometimes encourages, their meandering, although he often cuts off reasonable callers just as they're getting to the best part of their calls.

Caller Voice: "I dreamed the craft, and my cousin then, but we ran with Bob who saw the Bigfoot back on the road and we sure did ha ha ha ha (Noory laughs with him) and we never played with ouija boards again."

I shudder to think what Toole's childhood was like. You gotta wonder how Lucas and Toole would have turned out if they had better childhoods. There's likely some kind of X factor, in certain genes, that gets a jump-start from the wrong kind of environment (if that makes sense). So many people had horrid childhoods without turning into homicidal monsters. 

[General Johnson Jameson]

Even though I don't listen to Noory, I have to put up with his dumbass on commercials when listening to Art Somewhere in Time. Although I have listened to this wannabe muffdiver before.
I have always envisioned his ideal caller being a woman in her late 40's, with a colony of cats living inside her house. Carton of Pall Malls on the coffee table, and absolutely no sex in her life. She probably works the evening shift down at the gas & go in the Mexican part of town. If anyone that listens to Noory regularly enough to be able to identify and remember callers, if this woman matches a description, feel free to note it.

     Toole's grandmother and mother had him cross-dressing and "Devil worshipping" by age 8. Add the 65 IQ and you have a true menace on your hands. Nature or nurture, he was screwed either way.

That's a great specific description. The carton of Pall Malls put it over the top. There's no doubt that it fits at least a few of his callers, and it's likely that said callers call him "Georgy". I can hear one or two callers in my mind right now.

You can't get away from Noory when you listen to Coast. They play his ads during Knapp's show and Punnett's show too. Maybe he wants to make sure that we don't forget about him. No matter the reason, it just reminds us of how much better the other hosts are.
