Topic: George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[robey1129]

Instead of backing advertisements for "disaster food", maybe Snoory should start peddling mattresses so his listeners can get a good night's sleep when he is on. Morticians and funeral homes don't normally have to advertise so he couldn't do that...for all the people that are bored "stiff"!

[NightOwl]

Not sure, but i think i heard he sunk some of his own funds in the disaster foods company(or ya'll knew that and i'm behind the
times), but are people really going to care to have gourmet meals when the world is on fire around them? or when their kids are floating
off yonder? i think a rowboat stocked with cans of tuna would suffice too.

[Strel]

Maybe it's just me, but when Art had control of Coast I don't seem to remember being constantly bombarded with advertising, or at least not to the extent that Coast listeners are 'enjoying' these days.

When George is on, it's an endless assembly line of product selling;  e-foods, gold selling, income at home, save the children, cc-radio, insurance companies....  And that's without his relentless plugs for the website, the newsletter, the I phone Apps, streaming mp3s, coast merchandise, as well as the guests DVD's and website...  Oh, and Noory mentioning his own name 50 times a nite on top of it all...

It is very distracting and irritating.

I remember Art Bell doing interviews and playing cool music.  I don't remember being spammed with commercials thru 3/4 of the show.


Times have changed.

or he could market a sponge set so listeners can easily soak up the blood after the nightly anal raping they receive via AM radio.

Dr. Kaku is on c2c tonight. It is always fun hearing Snoory strain to keep up with this guy. I wonder what movie he'll mention tonight?

[b_dubb]

Dr. Kaku ... have you seen my friend James Cameron's latest movie ... ASSSVATAR?

Oh  how i wish I didn't believe this happened.

[robey1129]

Well...the asshole certainly set the tone with that opening little bullshit of a story to let us all know what a nice fuckin' guy he is. Shit like that makes me wanna throttle that freakin' worm.

[robin]

Off topic from Dr. Kaku:  I just read the Rollye James e-mail explaining the backstory.  It's weird that there are people who actually think Noory is a good host.  I heard Art the other night (with Evelyn Paglini).  How refreshing and fun that was to listen to.
 
Last week there was a guy on the show talking about the Titanic.  Noory said "That thing was HUGE!".  Interjecting at the most inappropriate time and saying something ridiculous as usual.  Not only is that a stupid interjection, but the weirdest part is that the guest wasn't even talking about the ship's size.  Then a few minutes later he said "I can't imagine the PANIC that must have been going on!"  Talk about Captain Obvious.  What a dolt.  He reminds me of a fifth grader trying to host a show.

HA!  It is funny to listen to that silly ass try to keep up with Kaku.  It's embarrassing and makes me cringe sometimes.

"ya gotta watch what yer doing, they just keep going" (snoory referring to treadmills) heard @12:45, tonight's show -snooryism

Ha! That's sooo Noory.  What a tard.

HAHA, as opposed to the treadmills that randomly stop... you know... so that you can get a good workout.  what a dummy.

[robey1129]

Here's some highlights that Snoory had to contribute to different topics during what he termed a "discussion" with Dr. Kaku:
 
Time travel: "How exciting would that be, Michio?"
Dark matter: "Yay Dark Matter!"
Invisibility: "Now, we are not talking about the invisibility that an artist can paint on canvas....?" (Huh?)
Teleportation: "Have you seen the movie "The Fly?"
Cloning: "If you downloaded all your memories into a chip and then downloaded that into a clone of you...you would probably think that you were you."
Intergalactic travel: "How amazing would that be, Michio?"
Terraforming: "Huh?"
Invisibility: "The applications of that would be absolutely unbelievable!"
Multiverses: "Now are they connected together like a bunch of bubbles?"
 
And...at one point, towards the end of the "discussion", I heard Dr. Kaku say to Snoory: "Hello.....are you there?"

     I had no idea the UN has an Office of Outer Space Affairs ( I'd like to get a t-shirt).  Rush talked about it this morning, and George mentioned it last night.  The person in charge is a lady named Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, and she will be in charge of meeting any aliens on first contact.  I'm sure she's a swell gal, and probably keeps a tidy office, but I don't know her from adam, and don't trust her worth a lick, and as far as I'm concerned the person who should be greeting any freaky aleins is Dick Cheney, who'll be laying out a few "welcome to earth"  ground rules, such as:
     1.  No way we're gonna be trying to understand any blah blah gibberish space language.  Here's an American dictionary.  Learn it.
     2.  No way we're gonna try and pronounce any blah blah crazy alien names.  Tom, Dick, or Harry will do just fine.  Take your pick.
     3.  The earth landing fee is 50 quatrillion bucks payable to the US treasury.  Goodbye deficit.
     4.  You're here to be cute and cuddly and give us tons of new technology.  Anything else gets your heads blown off.
                                                                                   * * *

    Michio Kaku said dark matter may be a reflection of real matter in another dimension, and he came perilously close to explaining quantum entanglement so that a slob like me could understand it.  Cool.  I think I'm gonna pick up one of his books.
     George is an idiot.

noory should be a drive time dj somewhere.  member of a morning zoo crew.  that's the type of broadcaster he seems to be.  goofy.  empty.  and willing to do anything to keep that check coming.

Valdez, you say some of the funniest shit.  That last post had me smiling pretty big.  You have an interesting mind.

     Interesting only in comparison to the mysterious void that is George Noory.  Thanks, Robin.

Listening to George because the show is such a train-wreck was entertaining for a while, but last night's show was the final straw for me.  What was amusing before has reached total absurdity on every level...


George and his buddy Hoagland deeming NASA employees either totally naive and controlled or all privy to a massive conspiracy is just too much.  Oh and lest we forget the moon Phobos is in reality a giant leftover 'death star' orbiting Mars.  As always his irrefutable proof is "I've looked at the data..."

Apparently an unbelievably arrogant, uneducated pseudo-scientist  is the only man in the world capable of interpreting NASA photographs...  He kept saying everyone 'got it wrong'.




Ok Mr. Hoagland.  Here's your medication, open up.  Come and lie down for a while.  Yes, we know Darth Vader is real, and C3P0's head is stuck on the moon.  Now just lie down;  oh look, your friend with the dead crow glued to his head has come to visit...

Maybe I overlooked it this morning, it is early and coffee has not reactivated the brain cells, but what happened to the "George Rocks Thread?"  Equal time is needed.  Was it cancelled due to lack of contributions?

No, MV has merged all the threads pertaining to each host.  George is all George, Knapp is Knapp, Art, Art and Ian, Ian.  Things had gotten a bit messy.  But I, too, feel like something has been lost on the specific spins (pro/con is the primary one)  -- though I'm not sure what the options would have been.

[Strel]

I'll say something nice about the guy.


He doesn't have a criminal record.  As far as I know.

no, that's not what happened with the pro-noory thread. 


it's simply been moved to the archives.  it has received so little participation that it seemed the thread's mere existence was a an unintended statement unto its self.

i've always thought Hoagland was bat shit crazy.  he strikes me as the sort of guy who would live in this immaculately clean house/apartment/condo/whatever but one day ... while walking through a room ... he notices that one of the books on his coffee table is slight skewed and then spends the rest of the day rearranging the room so that everything in it is perfectly parallel or perpendicular to everything else in the room

hoagland and noory together is just a colossal asshat feedback loop.  they're both mental

[Strel]

Hahaha, that's very well said, and oh so true!   


Last night's show set a new low water mark for Coast, with both men talking over / interrupting each other almost the entire time.  When Hoags invariably started down the 'Hyperdimensional' path, I turned it off.

     I enjoyed last night's show.  I thought Richard was at the top of his game.  What annoyed me was George telling Col. Tony Shaffer, while he was relating some story about Afghanistan, that it was going "over the heads" of his listeners.  It was rude to the quest, and condescending to his audience. 

[Strel]

I guess I'm jaded because I really used to enjoy RCH segments, I'd look forward to when he was on.  I didn't agree with his notion of artifacts on Mars, etc... but he was entertaining to listen to.  My opinion changed when he began to describe everyone working for NASA as out of touch or conspiratorial.  I remember one show when he said that NASA would either cut off or switch to pre-recorded tape before any images came back from satellites.  Even George didn't accept that.

The fact that's he's now saying that every celestial body from our moon out to the edge of the galaxy is 'strewn' with relics and ancient ruins (and the Gov. is hiding it all) is just too much...  He also seems very angry that real scientists and engineers won't take his ideas seriously.

[robey1129]

If anything goes over anyone's head....it's just about anything with substance going through Snoory's....like a fart through an outhouse down in the 'holler'!

"If you downloaded all your memories into a chip and then downloaded  that into a clone of you...you would probably think that you were you."

[valdez]

    LMH talked about bed bugs for most of her segment, about how they are making a comeback, and how nothing can kill them except extreme heat (as in nuclear weapons, which I'm completely OK with, before those little boogers start heading down to my part of town) and at the top of the last hour George is suddenly a spokeperson for some product that will absolutely positively kill...bedbugs!  Huh?  What?  Am I hallucinating?  I know George will sell anything, I know producer Tom is useless, but isn't there an ethics department somewhere over there?  And you would think, if George really believed in this product, that he would have mentioned it to Linda while she was going on and on about how the little bastards were immune to everything, say something like, "you know, Linda, there is a product that will kill those bed bugs.  It's called..."  But no.  George didn't say anything about this product during the actual interview.  I suppose they didn't pay him enough.
