Topic: George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[coastfan]

Agreed. Noori is a complete bore. Can't even make Ed Dames interesting and entertaining like Art could.

However, the Antikythera Mechanism show was hosted by Ian Punnet, intereviewing Jo Marchant, author of Decoding the Heavens.  Anyway, the device actually is something of an anomaly in history. Nothing else even as remotely advanced has ever turned up from the ancient world. So in a way, it is unique. We just don't know what knowledge it was based on.

(Unless I missed the Noory interview.)

[Recovering Noorholic]

Tonight, concluding Tim Ball's appearance discussing climategate, Noory capped the interview with an erudite:

They know that fear makes people scared.

WTF?!

     Yeah.  Classic George.  Later in the show a couple of astrologers (Linda Schurman and Jeff Harman) came on to tell us how we can plan our weddings, home purchases, trips to the gas station, and bowel movements around our astrological charts.
     I think I'll just play it by ear.
     

[valdez]

     George takes a lesson from the Punnet playbook and ditches the usual C2C fare to get into the gritty with George Harrell, Jerry Vairo, and A.J. Benza talking about the Mafia.  From the Kennedy assassination, to George Noory's interesting connection to Jimmy Hoffa, and all the other fun stuff that go along with la cosa nostra.  Cool show.
     Last hour:  Roswell.  Boring.

[MABUSE]

Sitchin...Zacky the Wonder Poodle...The Tricky Dick Hoaxland of linguistics and ancient history and a Class A Tw*t of the first water.  It goes without saying that in Nuri's pantheon of pathetic paragons of prevarication he is sephiric. 

I recall the old joke retold about Nuri: How can you tell he is lying? His lips are moving.

I herewith present Mabuse's Postulate to the foregoing law:  If a guest is a beloved idol, worshipped by Nuri as a profound life-influence, then said guest is either:
1) a brazen fraud
2) batshit crazy
3) an ubershill or
4) some combination of 1-3.     

Go in peace, the rant is ended

words fail me, I am simply out of invective at this point other than to make the following serious inquiry:
 
Does that award carry more or less critical weight that the Nuri regional-boobie-prize-Emmys or the Hoaxland misappropriated Angstrom thingum? 
 
How many high colonic box tops do I have to save to get one?
 
Does it come with a magic Sumerian/Akkadian de-coder ring so I can interpret dead languages?
 
If only Leni Riefenstahl had been there, we could have had a real masterpiece--Triumph of the Shill!

It took me about six months after I first became aware of the show, to "go sour" on Snoory.The show just wasn't that interesting even though I was interested in the topics.It was like Howie Mandell had been cast as the sheriff in a remake of the movie "High Noon".It just didn't work for me.I don't listen to the show if Snoory is hosting...period.It's that painful for me.

[EvB]

This may have been beneath even Leni.

Long ago - eighteen months ago - when van-city was just a quiet and sleepy lumberjack town, before it became a quiet and sleepy lumberjack town hosting a  folksy rendition of the Olympics, I attended a Noory engagement at some Reno-esque casino there.

During this engagement, in a packed theater, Noory introduced the GM of the local Canadian affiliate who mentioned C2CAM was the only live talk show on in Vancouver during its time slot. Also, each Noory entrance was accompanied by a standing ovation.

Monopoly + Sycophancy = C2C under Noory

(One other thing I noticed, having never seen an assemblage of C2CAM "fans" in one place before, was the demographic:
- 1/3 people who looked like they'd just crawled out of the bayou, which I expected [how they ended up in Canada I have no idea]
- 1/3 senior citizens, which I expected
- 1/3 frat boys, which I didn't expect [I don't mean that to be derisive, I was in a fraternity myself, but you know what I mean] )

[valdez]

     Did we need another show about lucid dreaming?  Haven't all of George's questions on this subject been answered by the dime-a-dozen guest he's had on to talk about this?  Did we learn anything new here?
     Last hour was about Oscar, the Cat of Death.  Cats of death are always interesting. 

[EvB]

I suppose they are more interesting than dead cats.

[11angeleyes11]

It depends:
 
Do dead cats reincarnate?
Do dead cats go to the light?
Are dead cats chased by dead dogs?
Do you see the ghost of dead cats?
Is the sound in the background that off a dead cat purring or the static on the AM dial because the radio reception is bad?
 
See, that are some of the interesting things about dead cats.  The list is just a summary and is not meant to be all-inclusive.  It reflects the thoughts of the poster, and is subject to revision by all interested parties and dead cats.
 

[EvB]

I stand corrected!

[11angeleyes11]

I stand corrected!

LOL!  Cute pic!
 
I listened last nite and it was an interesting story. 

[valdez]

     During the news segment George had someone on talking about the Fair Tax.  Cool.  It's a plan that should be given some thought.  Then a 911 Truther came on to talk about that stuff.  Not so cool.  Truthers are nuts.
     It was an emotional introduction for Glenn Kimball, who needs a liver transplant or he will die, but he didn't want anyone to feel sorry for him.  He seems to be some sort of an archaeologist, and spoke about DNA, and the origins of life, and Jesus, and, according to him, the Ark of the Covenant is located in...Arkansas.  Get it?  Ark.  Arkansas?  He was serious about it.
     Joshua P. Warren in the last hour talking about those secret noisy tape recordings that are not really tapes, but wires that contain sounds, given to some kid by his dad who worked for an intelligence agency fifty years ago, and they might have something important on them, or something, but what I want to know is why do they call his segment the "Joshua P. Warren Paranormal Moment"?  First of all, its not a moment, its an entire hour.  Second of all, he doesn't always talk about paranormal things.  Third of all, the whole C2C thing is mainly paranormal, so why single out one guy?
     If George had a real producer, as oppose to the "yes man/coffee maker" he has now, these things would have been thought out, and perhaps a better name for the segment would be found.  Something like the "Warren Report" that doesn't limit him in subject, and has that cool double ententre conspiracy feel to it.
     

[MV]

911 "truthers"... oh boy.  fun, fun, fun.

[MV]

- 1/3 frat boys, which I didn't expect [I don't mean that to be derisive, I was in a fraternity myself, but you know what I mean] )

no offense taken even if derision WAS intended.  actually, i hope there was derision.  i'm pro derision. 

[valdez]

     You can't go wrong with a Twilight Zone show with Marc Zicree.  I was getting a little tired of hearing George say, "that's a classic!" every time a certain episode was mentioned.  Yeah.  That's why we're still talking about them.  Because they are classic.  I had no idea there were 187 episodes.  I thought there were less.  Like 39.  No.  That's The Honeymooners.
     George was talking about a NightLine spot on him that will air soon, and a piece in the L.A.Times that will come out this sunday.  I still haven't read the Atlantic article on him.  Need to do that.
     Here's an exchange that occurred during open lines:
     GN:  "Sharon, from California, good morning."
     Caller:  "It's Sharie, George, not Sharon."
     GN:  "It is what it is."
     Caller:  "And I'm from Oregon."
     GN:  "Oh.  I must have hit the wrong button."
     Caller:  "Can I tell you my story anyway?"
     GN: "No."
     And George put her back on hold and took another call.  Beside his rudeness to the caller, there's something else about it that bugs me, but I can't put my finger on it.

[The Bodach]

 

Did anyone else find this odd from last night's broadcast?  Just grabbed it via audacity, turned to wav. file and found an upload site.  Not sure if there is a better way to share clips.  I promise it's not a virus. 

http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/196632/02-19-2010-wav.html

Have to to wait 20 seconds to download.  Btw, if anyone knows of a better clip upload site, let me know. 

He took a call from a woman named Sharry, accidentally, and was just...I'm not sure what the word is.  I mean, I thought he was joking with her, but that wasn't the case.  "It is what it is."  Is it just me, or did anyone else feel a little uncomfortable here.  Chill, George.  Not her fault you took the wrong line.

OH wow, I didn't even read this, just wanted to post the clip.  I see I'm not alone on this one.  I mean WOW, George.  Take it easy!  Even to the next caller's "Happy 2010", he responds "Let's hope so".  I don't know, it was just an excruciatingly cynical couple of exchanges. 

Quite odd. 

Does George hate his job?

[Recovering Noorholic]

That clip was awesome. I can't stand George but there's something about the completely flippant way he was like "Sherry, Sharie - whatever" that was top drawer.

Didn't Sharie know she was talking to George Fuckin' Noory?! You don't correct Big G.

     Between James Norman and Joseph Meyer there doesn't seem to be a lot to look forward to.  The markets will crash.  Banks will close.  Cash and gold will rule.  The dead will eat the brains of the living.  This stuff is wearing me out.  What happened to the hope?  Why are we getting the exact opposite?

Hope allows people to feel they might have some control or freedom of choice--(like NOT listening to this drivel or being swayed by it).  That is EXACTLY what is NOT wanted.  Despair and desperation breed the best, most captive market:  "George, tell us what to do?  Tell us where to buy gold and seeds and LED lights!"  THAT is what they are aiming at, implementation of the famous Orwell quote: If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
If they can keep their cattle, er…umm--LISTENERS, in a variable state of terrorized catatonia wherein whatever the Gilded Turd is shilling is the panacea du jour and it sells, they can make up for falling listenership with higher marketing revenue.  It is slowly evolving into what many of us feared: a 4 hour "infomercial" for the fruit-bat fringe.  It also says volumes about the cynical hypocrisy of "Mr. Lightworker" himself that he perpetuates this mindless, paralyzing terror.

     So angels need spaceships to travel because why?  And exactly how many caller's questions did you answer with "buy my CD and find out"?  Thank you, Ken Kline, for a very convoluted interview.  Heavy on the bible.  Hold the facts.
     Next guest was Robert Piccioni talking about the extreme odds against the formation of life, and the miracle that it truly is.  Speaking of convolution, here is a question posed by George to Mr. Piccioni: "I'll bet it wouldn't surprise you if, in the future, they develop a telescope that could see cities on other planets in the galaxy.  Would it?  You wouldn't be surprised to see life on other planets, Right?" 
     Was the question about the telescope, or was it about (even though he had already answered it ten times) life on other worlds?
     Absolutely.

haha, this got a chuckle outta me.

[Ghost to Ghost]

1) George Noory, Halloween, 2003
2) George Noory with his grandson
3) George Noory in 1979, leading his own private country

Has this ever been addressed on-air? How does a man go from dictator, to Tron enthusiast, to late night radio talk show host? I smell conspiracy.

Well, I confess I am usually pretty well pissed out of my skull on the rare occassions I ever listen to him any more...AND IT DOESN'T HELP ONE BIT!

     Something about Susan Miller's voice that I could have listened to her talk all night about astrology, and planets, and zodiac stuff, and anything else that might pop into her head.
    LMH had a cool story about Lion Fish, and how they're originally from the south pacific, and Americans get them for their aquariums, because they are very pretty, and then, after these creatures have eaten everything in the fish tank, they get thrown away into the ocean, where they got no enemies, because their enemies all live in the south pacific, and every three weeks they lay 30,000 eggs, and they eat anything they can fit in their mouths, and they are presently taking over the Caribbean, and they can grow to the size of a small SUV, and nothing can stop them, and ...
     I made up the part about the SUV.  But they are becoming a problem, and now they must be killed.

[EvB]

But they are becoming a problem, and now they must be killed.

I can think of a few people I feel that way about.
