George Noory on SciFi Channel Tonight

Free episodes:

Bobblehead Noory will pull a rabbit from inside of his nostril, and name it Ralph. He will then eat a burrito made of cement, and will pass it through his body, it will emerge shiny and buffed and larger than when it started. Billy Meier will appear in the audience, and Bobblehead N will pull his missing arm out from his ass, and slap it on 'ole Billy, who will then vomit a wedding cake into the mouth of a goat.

Then they'll cut to an Alka Seltzer commercial, Art Bell will be on the phone with his lawyer, and will chew up an entire box of the new bacon-flavored Alka Seltzer. Cut back to Bobblehead, who will swallow a small black woman sitting in the audience. Art Bell steps out from backstage, and throws a frisbee filled with the old cheese-laced Alka snaps, it goes into Bobblehead's mouth and reacts with the remains of the woman in his gullet. Think Mentos/Coke, and you'll get the general picture.

Then Nixon will emerge from a cloud of smoke, pull a scorpion from his pocket, and jam it into Bobblehead's ear. He will then demand that BobbleGeorge return Pat's breasts. The audience will be seriously confused, but when that APPLAUSE light comes on, they'll clap their little hands together and pray for a "Happy Ending".

What else do you need to know? MUST SEE TV.

Someone's jealous.... ;)

Seriously though, I've had the opportunity now to listen to a few eps of C2C and I gotta say there's no possible way these guys actual go along with the guests as much as they let on. I think the general listening audience just doesn't understand what the words "incredible" and "fantastic" actually mean. Given the frequency Bell and Noory use them on the other hand, I'm betting they do know.
 
I almost posted a interview Linda Howe did with "Bobblehead", but thought, nah, I won't make people barf on their keyboard today. I was tired.

Why the name bobblehead David?

I like the name of Fart Hell I came up with for Art. Can't think of anything good for George. Gorge Boring is about it:(
 
I prefer George sNoory or Jorge Boreme. Sci-Fi didn't pick up the show. Notice how they didn't even bother advertising it. Yep. sNoory's got a face made for radio. :p

damn someones jealous of someone else's success.

Uhm, no, someone writes something comedic on the forums of their show, someone else engages in comedy on national television while trying to do a "serious" show. A show which, BTW, has not been picked up.

Would I be thrilled to have the C2C slot on national radio, the resources they command, and the big, fat paycheck? Sure. Would I trade my professional credentials and insanely dynamic, unbelievable life experiences for those of Bobblehead George™? Not a chance. Would I lower myself to doing something like C2C, a cheap, boring shill circus, instead of The Paracast? Dream on!

My humble opinion, it takes a little thicker skin than you'll find on the Paracast for national syndication. Imagine how these forums would look if Gene and Dave had 10,000 Korff's to write about. I shudder to think of how they'd handle the sheer number of crazies and haters George Noory hears from on a daily basis.

It already seems like half of the time the Paracast is just Gene and Dave dog piling on someone in the community they have issues with. If they went national we might never hear them address paranormal topics again! It would all be "This week we have so-and so on to talk about [insert hated target here]."

If they didn't do that, then they would get criticized for being like any other show that doesn't ask harder questions. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Funny, I think they mostly go easy on their guests. Be glad I don't have a show:)

I think they do both . . . ask hard questions and have a slam-fest on people they have issues with. At the risk of sounding hypocritical I have to admit that the slam-fest part is often my favorite. But imagine Gene and David having thousands of targets instead of just a handful. It could tip the entire balance of the show. I just don't think they can ignore the crazy people at a level required of nationally syndicated hosts.

Plus the lawsuits that would ensue from the personal mud-slinging being aired at a national level . . . staggering.

Can you sue people over opinion? More importantly, can you sue people for telling the truth? Calling Sylvia Browne a fraud isn't slander, it's a documented fact!

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm unqualified to answer that.

I would guess that if we reviewed every criticism or mean spirited remark that Gene or Dave have publicly made about another person we could find something where someone could claim character defamation or slander ('Korff must be crazy because his brother is in jail for trying to shoot a cop' comes to mind). Likewise Gene and Dave would be able to sue others for their remarks about them.

There's not much incentive to do so though. Now, if the Paracast has 1/1000th of the audience George Noory does suing might be a more lucrative endeavor.

Just speculation . . . as I said, I'm no lawyer.

Fine so C2C has no credibility. Still a fan because it is entertaining. But why does the host have to make fun of a program that he has no respect for and not just once but it appears to be on a continuous basis. It's obvious there is some jealousy there otherwise you would just mention how crappy the show is and leave it at that. Why worry about what another show does and just worry about what you do. I f they let the kooks on (which they do pretty much everyday) then let them it does not affect this show. There are other paranormal shows out there that do not like it either but have maybe mentioned that fact at least once on thier program and don't mention it on almost every show (maybe i am exaggerating). I have listened to this show a few time and maybe i am missing those shows where they ask the "hard questions" but so far i have not heard much on being thorough with the guests but have heard at times where the guest is gone then they jump all over the guests story saying how much BS was said. You want to be hard hitting then do it while they are there. Tell them straight you story is full of crap and this is why...yada yada.
 
First i would like to second what "Open_Mind2007" had just said with the only exception of the being a "fan" part.

Also i want to add that C2CAM is not all about BS subjects & guests, Actually it does have a lot of shows with credible guests, subjects & entertaining as well...

Just to give some examples...

Michio Kaku - Theoretical Physics
George Carlin, Interview
Douglas Mulhall - Nano Technology
Robert Zubrin - Mars & Space Exploration
Ryan Mathews - Moving From The Fringe "highly recommended"
John Alexander - World War X
Paul Moller - Skycar
Charles Smith - Millitary Technology
Matt Savinar - The Oil Crash
Michael Trudeau - Cashless Society
David Lochbaum - Nuclear Plant Safety
Helen Morrison - Serial Killers
And many others...

You know, It depends on one's taste and what you want to listen to and interested in.

As for hosts, C2CAM had a collection of hosts along the years that many of which were very good "Barbara Simpson, damn it what a great voice she has, Steve Mason, Ian Punnett and for both of these guys i have not listened to them many times as they are not on that much but when ever i did they were very good" And as for Art Bell what ever you got to say about him i liked him very much regardless of what crappy topic he had on "Yes it was entertainment of some sort" and he did some other serious ones and did perform well regardless of the topic at hand.

Again, It depends on what you are looking for at a certain moment.

As for Mr. George Noory, I do not have what so ever excuse for him, Not even an excuse for him just being out there... How come this show ended up into his lap! That will remain a puzzle. I just can not imagine anyone giving him such of a job.

Just wanted to stress on one more thing before loging-out.

You are not what you think you are, And the same goes for your show. And i am sorry to say that.

Have a nice day/night, And hope that by time your show levels up to what you did claim that it is.
 
Openmind: consider what would happen if we attacked a guest within the first few minutes of an interview - it would be a pretty short episode. There is a fine balance between letting the guest state their position, probing the guest to reveal the more subtle and/or ridiculous details of their position or theory, and engaging them in a way that makes for good radio. We believe that our guests should have the chance to either make their points without major interruptions, or hang themselves without our help. If y'all think it's easy to conduct a compelling interview, I invite you to try it sometime.

As far as C2C, I think that everyone should read The Clueless One's blog to see just how great of a host Snoory is:

http://blog.valiens.com/2007/06/15/i-was-kicked-off-coast.aspx

And then there's this insightful comment:

You are not what you think you are, And the same goes for your show. And i am sorry to say that.


Do tell, I'm on eggshells here, what do you think we are, exactly, if we don't know ourselves as well as you know us? Please share! I'm always looking to external sources to understand who and what I am, what would I ever do without the opinions of people I've never met?

:rolleyes:

Alright Mr. Biedny

"You are not what you think you are, And the same goes for your show. And i am sorry to say that."

sarcasm aside...

I will elaborate. "May be i sould have done so in the first post, But it would have taken some extra time to do so" Anyway...

for the "You are not what you think you are"

That does goes for both hosts, You say "We Ask the Hard Question" or something to that end...

Well i am afraid that this is just a matter of your own opinion as i for one do not think so, At all... Hard Questions! "Do you have an example" What Hard Questions?!

If you want to know what members of this board actually think about the "Hard Questions" May be you should create a poll on the board and see how far will it go...

And also there is the guests issue, I was under the impression that you specially Mr. Biedny like... Do a bit of a homework before the interview such as reading the book sometimes if there is a chance, search the subject on the web and stuff like that...

And one time i saw that you guys are having "Sean David Morton" on, At first did not understand how could some people that cliams that they are not every other show out there and how we do ask the questions that no one else dares to ask to all of that slogans for these guys to actually end-up having "Sean David Morton" on, I have to tell you this was surreal, I mean haven't you people like entering the guest's name into a search engine... The guy is a charlatan, And would have taken anyone that much to get to that conclusion. I want you to like replay that episode and then play any Sean David Morton C2CAM show and you will be astonished how come on that event that the two shows were identical, there are no Hard Questions, Reason or nothing just a show like any other show that Mr. Noory would be hosting And may be David does not know the guest but he could had like googled him up, But as far as Gene, I just can not believe that Gene did not have the proper information on Morton's prior to the episode with like a decade, Gene is like listened to lots of shows, Interviewed and communicated with lots and lots of people on the so called "edge", So he had to knew of Morton's prior to the episode.

And still on the guests issue and thier strikingly odd and unusual selection if their is a selection at all.

Forget about having the guy with the skull for a moment, How about Mr. Ritzmann yes Jeff Ritzmann... Have you listened to anything from what the gentleman had to say the first time around!?

I was surprised that you did have that guest on again and yes again, His tales would not even get a slot on C2CAM callers line, What the ... I mean comeon "I was sitting beside a guy that his skin was changing to a reptile like" or "I dont know but i told my wife look at that sphere but she did not see it till i did reposition her and then she saw it" stuff to that effect... I would not care about stuff of that sort even if it was for real whcih is not by the way unless you consider LSD.

You want me to go on!

I did not mean to be rude or anything by "You are not what you think you are, And the same goes for your show" however that was a remark that i meant very well as it is, And i do hope for you "Both hosts" to liveup with your show to the place that you initially did intented to be at not what it eneded up to be at and that is just like any other show under the sun at best.

Have a nice day/night and keep it on, Some people would just not care what they are being served any way...!
 
I agree with casual on at least one thing....What hard questions?...are you talking about this one.."did you need the bathroom"...that would be a question that another host would dare not to ask. Why?.....because no one cares....your supposedly listening to this fascinating abduction account and are hearing all these great wonders of the universe but you want to know if he needed the bathroom.I have heard your show and am still waiting for the hard hitting questions and not to have you guys call someone down after they have hung up.
