Topic: George Noory Sucks! -- The Definitive Compendium

[Galaga]

I think I got it.

Maybe George Noory is the real-life David Brent / Michael Scott of radioland. Consider this from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Scott_(The_Office)):

"Michael holds inflated views of himself and considers himself an office comedian, but his attempts at humor tend to fail. Often, he says things that are inappropriate, offensive or unwittingly mean in the hopes of getting a laugh. He lacks maturity and self-awareness, has few friends and is quite lonely, made worse because his efforts to make friends with people usually backfire. Michael will resort to any means possible to make himself the center of attention and often takes credit for the successes of others. His subordinates, with the exception of Dwight Schrute (Tom Danheiser), think of him as inept and several of them remark that they get their work done whenever Michael is distracted or away.

Michael wasn't always an incompetent employee at Dunder Mifflin. Before he was promoted to regional manager, he was a great salesman, able to relate well with clients and use his personable attitude to his advantage. However, his promotion put him into a position above his level of competence, making him an embodiment of the Peter Principle."

And on the Peter Principle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle):

"The principle holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. Eventually they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their "level of incompetence"), and there they remain, being unable to earn further promotions. Peter's Corollary states that "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out their duties" and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence." "Managing upward" is the concept of a subordinate finding ways to subtly "manage" superiors in order to limit the damage that they end up doing."

Although, the article goes on to say, "This principle can be modeled and has theoretical validity for simulations. However, there has been no large-scale statistical verification of the Peter Principle, and most evidence given for the axiom is intended to be humorous and is usually anecdotal."

I think Noory provides sufficient empirical evidence to validate the theory.

     I didn't catch Hoagland.  I'm sure he was brilliant. Joshua P. Warren is headed to Transylvania.  That's cool.  Linda Moutlon Howe should do her nights without Noory.  He adds nothing to her presentations.  That picture she posted on the c2c website of a ufo (a part of it) is very cool.  More talk about that NDAA law, and those evil Monsantos folks.  I guess George doesn't think we need to hear the other side of any of these issues.  I'm growing weary of that.
 

cool

 

[HorrorReporter]

I'd like to see Joshua Warren host a show.. I think he'd be really fun

[11angeleyes11]

At one time, not too many years ago and he still might, Joshua P. hosted a weekend paranormal show that was syndicated by Premiere.

[HorrorReporter]

Cool .. Love to hear him on a regular basis besides just his. 'paranormal moment' (a title that makes no sense)

[Morgus]

Looks like Noory is taking another unexpected Friday night off tonight, giving us another 3-day Noory-Free weekend.
Didn't he take off Friday just a couple weeks ago, plus his holiday week off?
Why not give Fridays regularly to another host Noory and just be done with it? 

[HorrorReporter]

Simone tonight during open lines may be decent... Chemtrails though..? Ugh

Don't cry crocodile tears.  You will be able to make up missing time with Noory.  He will be back to host extra days when he picks up the first Friday in Feb.  Good Times!

[Paper*Boy]

He knows he sucks, so he's afraid to be away for long too often.  So he takes Friday's off here and there to use up vacation days.
 
Probably out investigating something paranormal, like... how to make it rain in Vegas..

[VtaGeezer]

... Chemtrails though..? Ugh

Indeed.  You'd think maybe C2C producers could find something new in the universe.  Am I the only one who wonders why C2C just keeps recycling the same tired old stuff from Art B's early C2C topics in the 90s; chemtrails, HAARP, Hoagland, Quayle, et al for  15 f-ing years.  If they ever lost Bell's original guest roster, Noory would have only his medical quacks and off-shift counter staff from the Sedona New Age Center.

Is there nothing new out there?  Are there no discoveries? No new mysteries uncovered by archaeology?  How about the rumors of Templars in ancient America.  The Minnesota Runestone? What happened to the undersea anamoly found off Cuba a few years ago?  Noory's C2C is so grim, so desolate, so immersed in "spiritual" self-pity.  The producers are outrageously lazy and keep feeding us the same warmed-over porridge.  C2C has been on autopilot since Noory came aboard.   Please C2C...find something new to present..it's a big world.

         I've said it before, you can watch random episodes of "In Search Of" from 1977 and be more in-tune than you would be from listening to a year's worth of C2C in 2012. Premiere and Noory don't care, their "product" is like an assembly line, "Paranormal for Dummies" with starfucking and hammerhead politics thrown into the mix. Those rare nights where the show is remotely interesting is due to some cosmic fluke, and bet your last dollar that Noory ain't there.

... Chemtrails though..? Ugh

Is it me, or is C2C in the Noory Reich becoming more a show about fear mongering over current events and conspiracy theories, with a little new age spirituality thrown in for sweetening? As opposed to that good old pulpy richness of the paranormal/weird that is. Seems like it to me, especially since George now sees it as his mission to "educate" his audience. Ye gods and little fishes, the irony of that concept!

I personally prefer my escapist trash 100% pure, since I already spend a lot of time every day immersed in current events/political issues. Look, I don't come to C2C at 2:00-effing-a.m. to pick up insider info on what's "really going on in the world", especially from someone who just happens to be peddling a book they say I must buy if I don't want my family to die an agonizing, tortured death from catastrophic shortages of food/fuel/gold/silver/oxygen/land/medicine that we'll be facing when the earthquakes/asteroids/pole shift/tornadoes/floods/radiation/Bilderberger takeover/HAARP fallout/food additives finally hit us next month and the black helicopters begin to fly us to reincarnation camps in the desert.

Gimme the real garbage, the totally useless escapist fare about ghosties and ghoulies and monsters. But other than the UFO staple I see less and less of that kind of stuff in program descriptions.

Edit: Ah, it looks like Eddie Coyle addressed this before I got back to posting.

[BobGrau]

If they ever lost Bell's original guest roster, Noory would have only his medical quacks and off-shift counter staff from the Sedona New Age Center.

this seems to be the eventual goal.

Is there a thread for PremRad whistleblowers? there should be.

[Citizen5510]

Hi everyone I thought I should introduce myself, I'm not really the best communicator but I decided to join because the members here give me so much joy..I lmfao every time I stop in to see who's chatting and what they are saying always makes me laugh..very witty, smart group of people..so it's a little intimidating anyway Snoory does suck..on the up side I love the fineartstream..and am thankful for it..it gets harder every night to listen to C2C, I rarely do anymore..Where oh where is Art??

Hooooray!  I might just tune in tonight!

Oh wow, I wish he would.  What a splendid suggestion.

I SOOOOOO AGREEEEE!!!!  We can turn on ANY radio or television program to learn about economics, politics, health issues, etc...etc.....

I WANT THE STRANGE, THE UNUSUAL, THE BIZARRE, THE UNCONVENTIONAL......COAST SHOULD BE UNIQUE....NOT A REPEAT OF WHAT WE HEAR ALL DAY LONG!

[Nebraska888]

I'm with you guys!!!  Can't wait for a Noory free Friday!!!  Woohoo!!!!

[Nebraska888]

Absolutely!  I enjoy Joshua!  Lisa Lyons might just need a few emails suggesting we hear more from him. 

[jinwicked]

Simone tonight during open lines may be decent... Chemtrails though..? Ugh

Usually I cannot take the stupid, but I had to turn this off because the guest is literally making me fall asleep.

[valdez]

Hi everyone I thought I should introduce myself, I'm not really the best communicator but I decided to join because the members here give me so much joy..

     Welcome, Citizen.  Your communication skills are excellent.  Post often.

Is there nothing new out there? Are there no discoveries? No new mysteries uncovered by archaeology? How about the rumors of Templars in ancient America. The Minnesota Runestone? What happened to the undersea anamoly found off Cuba a few years ago?...C2C has been on autopilot since Noory came aboard. Please C2C...find something new to present..it's a big world.

 
     Or those alleged alien bodies found in Africa recently.  Or that giant creepy hell-like hole that formed in South America a while back.  Even if they don't all check out, just put Noory on a friggin' plane to somewhere other than California.
   
.

...Chemtrails though..? Ugh

...the guest is literally making me fall asleep.

     No shit.  That Clifford Carnicom was a bore.  Some guy called in and asked Simone to play the ufo phil song at the end of the show "like Noory does every Friday."  To Simone's credit, he didn't. 

[BobGrau]

reincarnation camps in the desert.

beautiful.

That would require effort.  George has made it clear around the office that no effort is to be put into the show.

[Morgus]

that dumb caller just had to be noory himself or one of his stooges... 

[HorrorReporter]

I'm pretty happy UFO Phil was tabled for the night... Too bad it's not for good

[11angeleyes11]

that dumb caller just had to be noory himself or one of his stooges... 

Spot on!  My thoughts exactly.  I love a caller who enjoys fine orchestration.   That's the Coast Friday last call symphony selection at the end of the week. 

[High Strangeness]

"And in other news... the sole source of suckage was identified today..."

[General Johnson Jameson]

I'm pretty happy UFO Phil was tabled for the night... Too bad it's not for good

Would be nice if the original JC kicked UFO Phil's ass & just got it over with.

[Sardondi]

...reincarnation camps in the desert.

beautiful.

Heh. Yeah, and I'm uncool enough to admit I was laughing like a s.o.b. picturing what that would be like.

that dumb caller just had to be noory himself or one of his stooges... 

Just a post-AB noob self-identifying as one of the rubes whose very marrow Noory will suck dry.



Now, I think I'll listen to the last hour of Art on a Somewhere In Time with Dannion Brinkley. Ahhhhhh.

[VtaGeezer]

For what it's worth, GN included Art Bell in his sign-off the other night; Weds IIRC. I thought he had stopped that.  I don't often make it all the way to sign off.

nah, he didn't stop it. he has mentioned Art Bell in the sign off most of the time for a long time that I've noticed.
Noory did recently add John B. Wells to his sign off list recently however...
