[Agent : Orange]

...he need only summon that harlot of harlots, Lady Krystal Methina Skullz!

Somewhere in time, Dan Aykroyd just blew a load

According to Steve *Four Quacks* Quayle and the ancient Hindu Sanskrit, Lady Krystal Methina Skullz is a time traveler. Her ancient Hindu name is Zul, which roughly translates into modern English as "dopamine". She wears many masks; in her current incarnation she performs lap and pole dances, yet her true identity is that of eternal guardian. Krystal/Zul's current earthbound mission is that of the secret Gatekeeper of the Coast to Coast Crypt of Very Intelligent Stuff. She has long sought the Keymaster, the one, the only one, who can open the crypt and subsequently send George Noory back...somewhere in time. The opening of the Coast to Coast crypt will then liberate the multitude of frustrated and angry listeners who seek salvation and a return of intelligent repartee on the airwaves.

But, didn't Quackers Quayle also tell Snoory that additional "sandscrits" revealed the fact that Zul/Krystal Skullz also performed at several stag parties for the Nephilim thousands of years ago? It's also recorded in Genesis in the Old Testament, if I'm not mistaken? According to Genesis, the biggest challenge and hurdle for Krystal was trying to haul her ass up and onto the laps of the Nephilim. Those boys liked to party all the time.

 Sadly I only can seemm to date Krystal these days. Bitch keeps ripping me off.
 On another note, we are all agreed? If the apocalyspe happens we all meet in st. Louis under the arch? And sweep house to house for Noory? Can I get an Amen?

[Sardondi]

...that harlot of harlots, Lady Krystal Methina Skullz! She is a dark vixen! She is the devil's daughter!

Actually I'm pretty sure she's the Whore of Babylon,.....Tennessee.

Two Fridays ago, Noory played a "prank" on an apparently hapless caller (or plant). He told the guy that he called the wrong number. The guy replied, "you sound just like George Noory". Noory claimed that, no, he wasn't George Noory. He didn't disguise his voice at all BTW. He then dropped the call, and he went to the next caller. After that, he returned to the "prankee", and he prolonged the hilarious hijinks for a while longer. He did this routine two or so times in the past, but this time might have been the worst. It failed on so many levels. It was like an interlude from Bizarro World or a parallel universe. Who would buy such a poorly executed gag? I hope that some of you also heard this!

[Sunny cloud]

Why doesn't noory just change the show to "Hollywood News"  That is his only interest!  (But I don't think they are interested in the likes of him)  Go home george.  You just don't fit in anywhere.

[sleeplessinca]

You gotta love that wacky George. 

Hardeeharhar.

Such a wit and a racehorse breeder too.  Who knew there could be such a multifaceted guy with such good questions?

[ziznak]

Soooooo tonight's show looked a bit suck filled compared to last night's... have I missed anything?? I'd much rather sit here listening to Art while images of that sexy Krystal dance in my head....

The only thing that has filtered into my 1/4 listening brain is the guest saying 'you can't have robots looking too much like animals, people except them to be metal and shiny.'  Yawn.

Just heard a Noory question. "Why is the government interested in robots?"  Guest: defence, surveillance ... other logical answers. Double Yawn.

Noory just said he wished he bought Apple stock years ago, what robotic co. should he invest in.  Guest: various penny stocks.  (Well, he's not an investment guy.)  I hope I can tune this out soon.

I'm not even going to download this show... ok yeah robots are cool whatever... but not coast "worthy."  Now, Nanobots or something like that I could understand... but robots in general even autonomous is an old topic and boring IMO... thanks for the heads up blossom

[stevesh]

In case anyone here is still on the fence about Noory's suckage, or the extent thereof, I urge you to spend  a few bucks on a month's worth of Streamlink and listen to last night's show.

The guest is a biologist and engineer, whose lab at Vassar is building aquatic robots and using them to model and study how biological evolution may have worked, and may work in the future. Fascinating stuff, and any reasonably intelligent interviewer could have presented three solid hours on just that aspect of the guy's work.

Not Noory. Every question Simple George asked was stupid, meaningless and/or repetitive. Twilight Zone, The Jetsons, even Noory's father's death made an appearance. It was obvious more than once that while the guest was speaking, Noory was frantically searching the Internet for his next non sequitur. Of course, they also had to blabber about the 'speerchul' and whether accepting evolution means we can't believe in god.

The guest did yeoman's duty to overcome Noory's stupidity and managed to make the show worth listening to, but you can almost hear him thinking WTF? at a couple of Noory's idiocies.

A complete clusterfuck of what could have been a great show, and if you can listen to it and still defend Simple George, I feel sorry for you.

blossom missed it. The show wouldn't have been a general show about robots except for Noory's incompetence. See my post above.

[ziznak]

Ya just read it and looked at the coastzone e-newsletter.  The evolution twist is kinda interesting so I may actually check this one out but... earlier when I looked at the C2C site and read the description I was already like ... "meh." On your post tho Stevesh I will give it a shot... If you say that even despite the snooryness it was interesting then yeah i guess im in...

[DangerousBlossom]

I don't disagree.  The guest would have been much better with Ian.  Ian might have gotten all excited about this or that robot and it could have been cute.   He certainly would have asked better questions and moved the discussion to more interesting areas.

I think Ian can be a pompas jackass, but robots bring out his better interviewing skills.

Ian would actually be my choice for next host... that's not saying much looking through our options but as far as being a good host asking the right shit and STAYING ON TOPIC he's much better than snoory's constant biographical references.

George Noory sucks.  If you don't agree, you're a big ol' weenie face.

George: "Tell me...could...could...Rosie the maid from The Jetsons be working in someone's house today, and we just don't know it yet? Somewhere in America? Do we have the technology for Rosie?".

I love it (but don't) when you can actually hear the sound of the keys being banged on George's computer (Let's not bring up the 100 monkeys banging away on keyboards for 100 years = Homer's The Odyssey analogy) as the guest is speaking. Just one of many Noory eye-rolls from me. I mean, how bloody RUDE!

Noory can take his fucking Twilight Zone references and SHOVE THEM UP HIS AMERICAN-LEBANESE ASS! Please pardon my language, but I'm so fucking sick and tired of this severely mentally challenged amoeba and the fucking Rod Serling/Billy Mumy chip that is implanted in his skull. And I'm sick of him interrupting interviews with his own fucking lame life anecdotes.

And yes, as many of us realize, Noory isn't even damn well listening to his guests a large percentage of the time.  I swear I can sense when this Dr. Seuss' Ass in the Hat is just sitting in his studio chair and staring off into space or "googling" around on the net, or conversing in Helen Keller sign language with Tommy through the studio glass window when a guest is speaking. Or, He probably just sits there while the guest is yapping, and stares at the wall.

Another thing that pisses me off to no end is Noory's unexplainable laughter during interviews - he chuckles or laughs at a guest's remark(s) - and the remark(s) were in no way funny at all. Someone could be speaking about cancer and chemotherapy, and George will actually laugh at the topic-related remark!

[Sardondi]

...I think Ian can be a pompas jackass, but robots bring out his better interviewing skills.

I want to like Ian, and in fact listened to a good bit of his Sunday Night show on Streamlink...at least until he started talking over his guest. Because it drives me crazy that he talks over his guests and interrupts them as much as he does. It's like he's doing his interviews as if he was playing Chicken on the highway; but instead of two people driving head on to see who's "chicken" and will swerve out of the way first to prevent an accident, Ian will steamroiller ahead with his constant talking and will not stop. It's always the guest who gives in as the "chicken" and let's Ian have the floor.

And when Ian does this he's usually just restating what the guest has just said. I mean, he's showing us he understands the guest and can synthesize his points well, but it doesn't help me enjoy the show more. It's just Ian showing off. Which is just ego...or being a pompous jackass.

[JohnnieB]

I am no fan of Ian (for the myriad of well founded reasons which others have outlined on  forum) but I will say, ziznak, that if it came down to choosing between George and Ian...God...yeah, I'd take Ian. At least the man can articulate and formulate topic-related questions - a large percentage of the time.

Good analogy, and I completely agree with you. The sad thing is...he's still better than Noory! And damn if that isn't saying something.

I've heard him do this in the past.  He sounds like he thinks he's so clever, while giving the rest of the listeners his radio "wink".  It's the lamest thing I've ever heard and all the worse because you can clearly tell that he thinks he's the biggest turd in the bowl.  It's stomach turning radio at it's worst.

Krystal/Zul's current earthbound mission is that of the secret Gatekeeper of the Coast to Coast Crypt of Very Intelligent Stuff. She has long sought the Keymaster, the one, the only one, who can open the crypt and subsequently send George Noory back...somewhere in time. The opening of the Coast to Coast crypt will then liberate the multitude of frustrated and angry listeners who seek salvation and a return of intelligent repartee on the airwaves.

Coast to Coast Crypt of Very Intelligent Stuff = oxymoron of the day. Noory is the oxymoron of the year. If that crypt is ever opened, me thinks that it will be major lunch bag letdown, like when Geraldo Rivera opened up Al Capone's vault.

I want a new career...I want to be a Coast to Coast on-air radio dance choreographer. I want to choreograph FABULOUS Bob Fosse type dance numbers to match the bumper tunes. The Coast to Coast Dancing Girls and Boys will shock and awe the listening audience.

Nobody was hurt in his prank, but to me that's just mean. A guy waits and waits on hold, and then Noory dicks with him in that childish way that wouldn't be fumy if 5th graders did it, much less adults. 

And then did Noory really drop the caller without ever letting him make his point? If so that's despicable. Certainly disrespectful of his listeners, whom he professes to love so much.

Well the caller either called back or was called back but he did get on the air.
