I remember when George Snoory first appeared on C2C as a replacement for Art on week nights. I remember being disappointed with him as a host but thinking his apparent dim-wittedness and inability to speak english at times was due to nervousness about being handed this prime hosting gig. He certainly had some big shoes to fill. I decided to give him a chance. He would surely improve given a little time to find his bearings... I mean, wouldn't anyone?
He didn't. I remember tuning in when he had guests on that I really liked... and then only being able to stand about 30 minutes of Snoory's inane questions before I had to turn it off. The last straw was when he had a guest on talking about native american spirituality and prophecy (I think anyway, this was years ago. It wasn't Red Elk or any of the heavy hitters.). The guest spoke in a monotone and was dull as dishwater. Snoory didn't even try to make this guy sound the least bit interesting. The guest droned on and on about 'malovent' spirits. Malovent? I suppose he meant malevolent but GN never called him on it. Unfortunately 'malovent' was apparently this guest's favorite word. i thought perhaps GN was too polite to say anything to him on the air and would give him a heads-up during the first commercial break, but no. He was back with his malovents in the next segment and I had to turn my radio off before I smashed it into tiny bits with a hammer. I never listened to Snoory again.
I've been working on a project lately that has kept me up nights. I needed something to listen to and I was thrilled to find some old Art Bell shows online. I have been curious about OBEs lately and I listened to all Art's shows I could find on the subject. It was such fun listening to Art again and I felt like I actually learned something. I came to the end of the AB OBE shows and I still had some late nights ahead of me... so, God help me, I went over to the dark side.
I listened to Snoors with William Buhlman, Robert Bruce, and all the usual suspects... I knew the GN shows would suck but I thought I could handle it. I should have known better.
GN is unable to engage in conversation with any guest. He can only pepper them with questions that sound like they were written by a child. There is no curiosity, no interest in the subject at hand and he barely seems to listen to anything any guest has to say. Many times a guest will speak at length about something and when he has finished Snoory will ask him a question THAT HAS JUST BEEN ANSWERED. Buhlman in particular began many of his replies (after a pause) with , "Again..." and proceeded to recap the info for poor dimwitted George.
I began to notice a pattern. GN has a list of questions about OBEs that he uses again and again with EVERY guest he has on the topic. I imagine this list is hand written in large printing with a #2 pencil on wide-lined notebook paper with the occasional letter reversed. It is dog-eared and smuded with turmeric. There are doodles of angels, portals and a naked Linda Moulton Howe in the margins. I began to suspect that he asks these same questions to every guest IN THE SAME ORDER but I couldn't possibly listen to those shows again to make sure. There isn't enough whiskey in this entire world....
I also managed to (barely) get through the GN with Carol Bowman about reincarnation. I'm going to quote a post from Spikegirl from the 'George Noory Quotes from Vandeven' thread:
"From the mouths of morons:
Noory: "Has a child ever been reincarnated to the point where he was possesed, that they lost who the little kid might have been?"- from interview with Carol Bowman, April 7, 2008 about reincarnation
Later in the same interview:
Snoory: "When I was very young, Carol, and I'm talking 11, 12, or 13 years old, I believed in reincarnation and I'm gonna ask you a 2 fold question here. I believed in reincarnation and I also believed that we would continue to reincarnate until we reached perfection. Having been raised a Catholic, ah, you know I believe in the Heaven and hell theory. Don't know quite what they are, but I believed that perfection was heaven and I always did, at a younger age, and I kept saying to myself, OK you just keep coming back and each time you do, you get better and better and better. And I used to tell myself, I'd say "the mere fact George, little 12 year old, that you are even thinking about this tells me that you've reached a certain level that you may not be coming back much more."
Carol:"You wish George."
Snoory is an attention whore and continued to fish for compliments, however. A few minutes later in the interview he said: "How could a little 11 or 12 year old boy, even think about what I was thinking about?"
Carol: "Because it's true."
Sorry, George. No ass kissing for you that night."
This was so pathetic it was just beyond belief. I had to rewind it to make sure he really said what he said. His ignorance and arrogance is simply stunning! George, you are a master of suckitude. You are beyond sucking on a mere national radio show. You're capable of so much more than that. Leave the show immediately and start your own miserable crack-brained cult. Take your idiot fanbase with you and move to a secret compound somewhere where you can have your ass kissed daily and we'll never have to hear your pathetic trainwreck of a radio show again.
Thanks for letting me vent.
I've enjoyed reading this forum. It's good to know I'm not the only 'creep' out there who CAN"T STAND Snoory.
