Topic: George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Paper*Boy]

I thought I heard him say he's going back to LA after this weekend, then shortly after that, he'll go to Hawaii....

How many times over several years now has he said it's almost done and he's going in a month or so?
 
Even if he does go to Hawaii and manages to fit a show or two into his busy schedule, pretty sure it's just going to be from an existing studio of an affiliate. 

[ZombiePoppa]

how much thought does go into selecting bumper music?

I'd say none. I decent host would play tracks that kinda, maybe had a little something to do with the interview taking place. Or something that would set the mood. Not this Noory tool.

I thought I heard him say he's going back to LA after this weekend, then shortly after that, he'll go to Hawaii....

Ordinarily I'd think that if George said that, and if Premiere (or whoever the hell owns C2C now) was committed enough to him to actually build him a studio in Hawaii, then we were screwed and George was in it forever.

But even if all that is true, it means nothing. Because radio/tv can build a zillion studios and that expense/commitment is negligible in comparison to the show itself. If the suits change their minds about the C2C host, the fact that they've just built an expensive studio or even that they might have an eleventy-zillion year contract with George mean nothing. If they think the brand is being hurt they'll be willing to jettison everyone...except themselves.

I came across this article some time ago and saved it in my Noory Rumors folder.  Anyway, it mentions that George said he has a "radio-studio hook-up at a residence in Hawaii."

So, he has a house in Hawaii?  If so, I don't think he has ever said anything about it on the air. On the other hand, if he doesn't actually own property there, does this mean he will be broadcasting from someone else's house in Hawaii?  Or in GeorgeSpeak, perhaps a "residence" is George's term for the word "affiliate."

Maybe this should be in the "Has George Ever Told a Lie" thread.

[Gassy Man]

Humble George strikes again.  "A few years back, wanting to hone my corporate skills, I took a job at a MAJOR public relations firm.....between my EXECUTIVE broadcasting jobs....."
How about this George?  "When I couldn't get a job in broadcasting, I worked at a local PR firm."  Then he rambles into a story about Wilt Chamberlain and his cat....trouble is, there was no story.  Just a chance to name drop.

What was even better is when he interrupted the veterinarian in the middle of explaining something germane to tell a lame joke.  And I thought the show was supposed to have been about how cats are psychic . . . I don't remember that topic being discussed much if at all.  It was mostly the vet's bio, his plugging his books, and some lame banter interrupted by open lines; snore.

In addition to tonight and last Friday, looks like Noory is taking off next week's Friday show as well - at least 3 Fridays in a row:

Megacatastrophes & Open Lines
Date:    04-27-12
Host:    John B. Wells
Guests:    David Darling, Open Lines

Filling in for George, John B. Wells is joined by British astronomer Dr. David Darling for a discussion about the strange ways the world could end. Could it be an asteroid hurtling toward us from outer space, or a super-volcano covering the Earth under a cloud of ash? Open Lines follow in the latter half.

If only we make it through the first two hours.  I only have enough E-foods until Monday.

Yes and at the end of the segment the bumper music was "The Year of the Cat", clever, oh so clever.  It was puuurrrrrfect.

One of the worst segments they've had in a long time. 

[Morgus]

Funny how Noory who obviously preferred dogs to cats, kept trying to steer the conversations in the first hour last night more to stories about dogs than cats...

[Maxwell]

From last night.

Veterinarian:  I remember when I first heard about a dog that could detect cancer, and you think, how could they possibly detect cancer?  Well, there's a smell, there's chemical markers that float up off the surface of a melanoma, and the same thing with prostate and colorectal cancer.  They're actually smelling a chemical marker and they do it with unbelievable accuracy, the ones that are trained to do it.

George:  My favorite dogs are Siberian Huskies and Labradors.

haha, Noory just heard the word "dog" and responded to that...

I'm satisfied that George is, quite literally, the stupidest man in radio today. But he might have the lowest IQ of any host of a national radio program in the history oif the medium.

[Paper*Boy]

Yet another display of show prep, general knowledge, interest in the topic, and the courtesy of listening when the guests are speaking.

[Morgus]

and after Noory's comment he and the guest got into a totally off topic discussion of those dog breeds extreme shedding problems.
Noory - the topic was supposed to be about cats, not dogs...

He has mentioned a few times that he has a "dear friend" in Hawaii.  He refers to the friend as "she."  So maybe the network is helping him with his romantic situation?

Trying to wade through the stomach churning crap to get to the last sentence was painful!  That link should come with a disclaimer.  That is an interesting quote about a residence.  Now I just cannot quite figure out why he keeps talking about this studio...

Noory's dogs must think he is one huge melanoma!

I find it disturbing that when I find articles discussing GN or C2C, there is always someone commenting on how great GN is.  They even sometimes say something about Art being ok, but GN is wonderful.  WTF!  These commentators are obviously PremRad stooges or people that are a quart low and have nothing else to do.  I suspect the former.  It just seems to me that GN is being propped up to be something that he is obviously not.  It's like some dark-ops, evil political campaign to prop up a manchurian candidate.  I won't say it's a conspiracy to destroy the show.  More likely just the results of people that don't care or understand what that special something was in Art's show.

Anyway, GN sucks.

George still lives in Art Bell's shadow.  Someone on his staff noticed people used to like to hear Art talk about his cats once in awhile and told George to do the same, so we get stories about Casey the dog, about George walking out on dates with beautiful women that didn't like animals, George giving pets to friends, etc. 
 
George is bored, only half listening.  He heard 'dog' and remembered his cue to talk about his love for dogs.  My guess is the only time he likes dogs is when they are in a cage and being teased.

that started some years back when Noory's top sponsor was dog food maker Purina...

[Sardondi]

Ah, just got through with Somewhere in Time and now I'm about to listen to the 2004 Ghost To Ghost presently on Art Stream. Even though George is blessedly nowhere around a live mic tonight, I'd much rather listen to an Art G2G than that wretched "numbers lady". What number is this show for her? Is she in to triple digits yet?

...Even though George is blessedly nowhere around a live mic tonight, I'd much rather listen to an Art G2G than that wretched "numbers lady". What number is this show for her? Is she in to triple digits yet?

The following is a blurb from Numbers Lady Glynis McCants' Web site at http://www.numberslady.com/bio.cfm:

"Glynis is a recurring guest on Coast-To-Coast AM radio with George Noory, where she averages no less than three million hits on her website after each radio appearance. Why such a massive response? Because listeners cannot get over Glynis' exceptional speed and accuracy. One of her specialties is predicting whether a celebrity couple will sizzle or fizzle as time goes on. When she does live readings, SHE DOES NOT MISS."

Three million hits on her Web site after each C2C guesting over the radio?  3,000,000 really?   Seriously?    


Incidentally, at the Charitybuzz site's Dinner-with-Noory auction bid, a certain EnkiArcheology has upped the bidding to date with a $1,600 bid.  The next minimum bid is now $1,850.00.  WOW! 

But for this?
  Whether the bidder is male or female, it's still yuck!   

[aldousburbank]

George Asshat Noory, the downer cow of national radio hosts.  Hoof and Mouth disease for your nighttime listening pleasure.  Pink slime for the ears.  Thanks Premiere, aka ClearChannel, aka the social control feed trough, aka the Monsanto Terminator Gene of the public airwaves. 

There. I feel a bit better now.

How long did you laugh when you heard those words spoken?  I would think that hearing that out of the blue would have resulted in a fit of laughter lasting many hours...

[texaskdog]

Imagine the tour bus...

If it broke down, LMH would run around outside interviewing people who saw it break down, asking them to speculate on why.  Of course, she would draw no conclusions.

Wow, that's an impressive amount of spam. I'm thinking  2,999,980 Viagra invitations to increase some very 'special numbers'.

The distinction was so stark and perfect that I just belly-laughed. Today my stomach muscles are even sore. 15 years ago Art looked into the future and just nailed it.

[thefamilyghost]

I turned on C2C just now and within 10 seconds heard possibly the DUMBEST thing Noory has ever said..

Guest: Well you know, what they're teaching the schools is all wrong

GN (interrupting) YEAH they're teaching them Darwinism! (with sort of a vocal scowl during while pronouncing 'darwinism')

Guest: Well I mean they're teaching them organic chemistry like theres one molecule unique to life on Earth

GN: YOU KNOW I believe in creationism!


...


Seriously...Noory is so stupid...so ignorant...it makes me want to pull my hair out. And whoever's on as his guest is a moron as well. FUCK.
