UPDATE 7.03.07 I Was Kicked Off Coast
Now that I've finally heard the broadcast I want to turn the tables and critique myself. I've heard that I say "ya know" too much and that I giggle too much.
Ya know what? I think that's right. I'll work on both. Maybe with the giggling I sounded like a fraud to him. Maybe I need to share in the blame for getting the boot. God I hate when that happens.
Here's what's really weird though: It doesn't sound as bad as it felt at the time. I knew it was going horribly wrong from the get-go and emailed people to that effect. I felt like he wasn't listening or interested. Hearing it back now, it doesn't sound like that in but a few spots. Of course I'd truncated my memory to harp on those spots, so hearing them spread out over the course of the interview, they seem minor now AND YET ultimately I was right because I did get the boot.
It's strange. He must have been seething, as I was writhing, for his own reasons, but you'd never know it listening to it. Or do you? Can you tell I'm dying inside the whole time? No, right? Cuz I'm all bubbly. Perhaps he was going through the same thing. Obviously, because he hung up.
So I don't know what to think now except that even if the above is true, he did just disconnect me a half hour or so into Hopkins' interview, which is always going to be a ridiculously unprofessional, cruel move. And odder still, given that his writing partner and I are business partners on the Culture of Contact festival project.
Huh.
Whelp, that's my attempt to keep being as honest as possible. Let me know what you think. Am I mountaining a molehill here? Am I wimping out? Did it not sound as bad to the outside world as it did to us because we know how to keep going with our poker-voices while our stomachs burn new ulcers?
Do let me know.
Meanwhile, here's the footage of the EEG while I let the mystery energy do its thing:

For those of you wondering where that big revelation was last night, it never happened. What did happen was a half-assed interview with a preoccupied host. I think. I'm guessing. I have to guess because nobody from "Coast To Coast AM" has bothered to call to apologize for mistreating me last night.
I don't make it a habit to write about my radio interviews because I've been on well over a hundred shows and am pretty much ready for anything good or bad. I was not ready for this, not at all. Coast is different from other shows. It's the "holy grail" show every peddler of paranormal wears prays to get onto because it has such a huge following. Naturally I expected to be treated with at least the same respect other shows give and most certainly expected the host to be engaged in the conversation enough to not ask silly, unrelated questions. I expected the host to...you know...know how to host, since this is the top dog radio show. I expected too much.
I was told before we went live that I'd be on for 3 hours. Budd Hopkins would join the conversation and then in the last half hour, we'd be joined by Stephen Bassett. Austensibly, we'd be promoting the Culture of Contact multimedia UFO festival taking place next weekend, June 22-24th, in New York City, not unlike how I did just now. Unlike just now, we never got to it.
The interview started off okay, although he kept calling me "Jerry." I didn't want to get off on the wrong foot by correcting him so I didn't. He asked me about this energy I've had inside me since 2001. Great. I have a big revelation to make about that, might as well get into it right away. I start talking about it, making it clear its origins do not lie with abductions. I'm building my story the way one does when trying to tell it and in the middle he suddenly says something like, "So what do you say to the millions of people around the world who have had the same experience?"
And I reply something like, "Uuuuh, I don't know. I don't know of any. Are there? I haven't heard of this before."
And he says, yes there are--chased by--"Okay, so that's your abduction experiences...."
And I say no, it's not my abduction experiences. Remember the whole first half where I told how this energy came about? Yeah, that's what we were talking about, George. At least that cleared up for me where the "millions of people around the world" idea came in: he meant millions of abductees. Fine. Little miscommunication. Happens, right?
So he asks me to talk about my abductions, which leaves the energy subject in the dust. I don't mind awkwardly switching topics because we've got 3 hours to play with. Now here's where it becomes a Monty Python routine. I explain in great detail this craft my mother and I saw years ago: round object, porthole windows, self-luminescent green, bright lights, spinning silently in a stationary position in the sky. This leads to a conversation about my early abductions. His eventual response was so completely odd I almost laughed. He said "How do you know you weren't dreaming?"
I went back to that craft and said that wasn't a dream. We were driving. Saw it with my mom. Wide awake. Like Tyson, he knocked me out with this exchange (and it's not an exact quote; I don't have a transcript. If someone does, give it to me. I'd love to act it out on Paracast with Dave Biedny)....
George: "But you don't know what it was you saw."
Jeremy: "No. It was a UFO. It was unidentified. I can't say what it was but I can say what it wasn't: It wasn't a plane, a helicopter, a blimp--so you tell me what it was."
George: "Could it have been an angel?"
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt! The show came to a screeching halt.
Jeremy: "A what? What do you mean? I just described a round craft, porthole windows...How would that be an angel?"
George: "You seem sure it was aliens. What if it was angelic beings?"
Jeremy: "Angelic beings? That need a ship to fly around in?"
I seriously thought he was joking. He wasn't. I'm laughing now, thinking about it. I'm picturing a clueless Will Ferrell lost in conversation asking me that.
Next up, I tried to dowse the fire by explaining the only hypnosis session I've ever had wherein I believe (although don't know) that I was suggested to not remember it or ask about it by the therapist. I base this on the fact that the therapist offered me free therapy after the session but we never discussed what I said and it hadn't dawned on me to ask in the ten years since then, until a different radio show host asked me why I never asked.
George's response? "Why did you just tell me that?"
Jeremy: "What do you mean?"
George: "I thought at the end of the story you were going to reveal all your alien abductions that came out under hypnosis."
Jeremy: "Uh, no. That wasn't the point of the story."
Then I try to recap the highlights for him...then, "Yeah. Sorry that was so anti-climactic for you, George."
Soon thereafter we went to commercial where I emailed several listeners asking if it's me or is he completely disinterested in what I have to say? But it doesn't matter, right? We've got three hours, right? I'll win him back....
Budd Hopkins comes on next. I'm dying to jump in and ask questions but he deserves his time without me getting in the way. Toward the end I finally chime in: "Can I ask Budd a question?" No response. "Hello? Am I...on?" No response. I've been muted from the dialogue. It's okay, though, because I've got over 2 hours to play with. He'll get back to me after commercial bre--
Oops.
My phone line got cut off. Must have disconnected. I hustle to find that emergency callback number. I speak to the producer.
Jeremy: "Hi, it's Jeremy Vaeni. We must have gotten disconnected."
Producer: "No, actually George hung up. He decided to 'go loose' with the rest of the show and just take calls. He does that from time to time."
Jeremy: "Oh. So that's it, then?"
Producer: "That's it."
Jeremy: "Huh. Okay, bye."
And for the remainder of the program, Steve Bassett talked about disclosure and, thank Christ, got a plug in there for the festival--the reason I set up the show in the first place.
Ridiculous.
George Noory, everyone tells me you're a good guy, a nice guy. Good guy or not, last night you were a professional assclown.
Here's what really bugs me: before the interview one of the producers wanted to make sure I had a landline phone. If not, she recommended that I book a hotel room for the interview. Can you imagine booking a hotel room in New York City--at least $300--to be cut off without a peep? Incredible. Somehow I don't think this would have happened had Art Bell been interviewing. But whatever. Live and learn.
At least he seemed engaged when talking to Hopkins & Bassett, asked appropriate questions, etc. It wasn't a total loss. I just think Noory doesn't know me and doesn't prepare before the show and you add the two together, you get a guy who isn't going to interview well with new people. So that's that.
Oh, and what was my big revelation you might be wondering?
You know that energy in my body I keep blabbing about? Well I finally hooked up to an EEG, which monitors brain wave activity.
Beta Waves = normal wakeful everyday function
Alpha Waves = the state of quiet time, meditation, and calm.
Theta Waves = drowsiness, like when you're about to fall asleep or when you daydream.
Delta Waves = Stages 3-4 of deep sleep.
The right hemisphere of the brain controls creativity, sensitivity, and holistic (and spatial) thinking.
The left hemisphere of the brain coontrols logical/rational thinking.
I believed going into this that when I stepped aside and let this energy do its thing, my brain would go alpha-wave dominant (as happens with meditators) and the right brain would be spiking on the graph. I've been calling this a meditation energy. I was wrong. Here's what we found....
At first, the running graph of my left hemisphere starts to spike. Every now and then the right hemisphere spikes. About ten minutes into my doing what my roommate said was "kung fu energy harnessing poses," both hemispheres spike off the chart and remain that way for the remainder of the session. We have this on tape; it's startling.
Now, what were my brain waves doing? Ready for this?--the dominant waves were theta and then delta. That's right, the wave that indicates deep, dreamless sleep became the dominant wave in my brain as I pranced around the room with my eyes wide open.
So what does this prove? It proves I'm not lying, not delusional and--suprisingly to me--not meditating.
Masahiro Kahata, the gentleman who administered the test, believes I'm either being possessed or somehow being transfered information by an outside agency. He said that by the time I finished I was using 10% more of my brain than when I started and that there was no coherence while in that hightened state of mind (which is also unusual). He's not seen delta go dominant in anyone except meditators, but it's always in conjunction with them closing their eyes and going into a R.E.M. state while seated.
In other words, this is a REAL ANOMALY.
Sorry you didn't get to hear this last night. I'm toying with the idea of putting the video footage of our session on the net via youtube. If you have an interest in seeing it let me know. If enough people respond, I'll do it. Just be forwarned: watching a fat white guy in a bad haircut doing martial arts in an altered state is probably scarier than the implications of these results.
Ya know what? I think that's right. I'll work on both. Maybe with the giggling I sounded like a fraud to him. Maybe I need to share in the blame for getting the boot. God I hate when that happens.
Here's what's really weird though: It doesn't sound as bad as it felt at the time. I knew it was going horribly wrong from the get-go and emailed people to that effect.

Fascinating insight into the behind the scenes @ Coast to Coast.
I applaud your honesty.
If you ever make it back on C2C, just remember to make 2 or 3 vague, but obviously wrong, predictions about the future. You'll be a Coast fixture in no time.
I suppose this little tet-a-tet means we won't be seeing the Vaeni & Noory three legged race team @ this year's UFO Magazine company picnic.

That's hysterical. Saddly true, but hysterical.
An apology would be welcome. I don't expect it. If he ever wants to team up for the three legged race, I'm still in. I know he's a hard worker...in the light and so we'd probably levitate to the finish line and take the gold.
Reply to this
The whole thing was unbelievable to me, but that part about how they just left you on the line without telling you anything and then just hanging up on you, it really takes the cake. Then they don't even have the balls to give you a real excuse? Eh, fuck them.
Reply to this
What woud the excuse have been?
"Hi, Jerry? George here. I'm cutting you loose during break. You said you saw a car; I think it was a clown."
"A clown?"
"A clown."
"But it's a car."
"Okay, a clown car."
"But it was a Lexus. What would clowns need with a car?"
"They can fit 40 of 'em in the one seat there and make it to the circus on time. I don't know. Just a theory."
"Very good, George. Well, bye then."
"Vroom!"

Jeremy, whew, I thought I was going crazy. I thought "cool, he'll be back" and .. er, no. You weren't.
Our local station that carries C2C airs it during the 2nd hour -- for some assine reason. So I didn't hear any of the beginning, but did hear the part where George asked you about the angel. I did a huge "WTF?!" when he asked that.
No matter, hey, you were on C2C!!!!!!
About your brain waves and all -- extremely interesting. And in the context of all this UFO, abduction stuff -- more so.

Hey Jer! so sorry it didn't turn out as it should have but we r very thankful that u posted this blog to inform us- and I would LOVE to see that video on YouTube!!! Ur interview experience makes me wonder what other great tidbits we have missed out on!
May the force be with you! hehe
Reply to this
Wow Jeremy I have to commend you for your honesty and telling everyone what happened. That is the most unprofessional thing I have EVER heard in regards to the way they treated you.
I worked in radio as a producer for three years and I would never even of considered treating a guest that way. You just don't do it not only is it fucking mean and rude as hell but it is just unprofessional. Word gets around about stuff like that but I guess when you are really the only paranormal radio show (and that I hope will change soon enough) on nationally you can do that to people but it still doesn't make it right.
After a guest was on I would not only call them and thank them after the show but MAIL (yes U.S. postal service) a thank you letter and or if they only had email send them a thank you note that way.
Either way thanks for sharing what happened, it sheds some light into what it is really like behind the scenes.
Jeremy good luck with every thing!
Thanks,
Ross

Hi Jeremy. I was listening to it live, almost falling asleep when I heard George say the word "angel" and I almost sat up in bed saying Whaaaaaaat?? Wasn't Jeremy talking about a UFO sighting?! All I could think was that George must have been absent totally and didn't hear a word you said.
How unforgivably rude of him.Then hanging up to boot!
Tsk.
Reply to this
Hey Jeremy,
I can't believe they did that to you! Missed the latter part of the show last night and didn't realize that's what happened.
Maybe there was a miscommunication..or George didn't realize you had two, completely different anomalies to share? Either way, cutting you off like that is just not cool at all.
About the brainwave stuff: that waking delta-wave experience is the holy grail of a lot of the "hemisync" type programs out there.
People spend hundreds on brainwave 'entrainment' cds trying to achieve the state that you're going into automatically. That's pretty miraculous in itself, man. So, keep us updated on what happens!
Reply to this
Is that right? Tell me more. Why do they try to achieve this? What's it about?
Reply to this
Noory is a fool and is ruining Coast. He needs to get the ax! He is such a phony and if the subject matter is not totally childish and irrelevant than he cannot understand his guest. During shows he's too busy looking for glory on forum sites to listen and talk to his guests. Please try again to get on the program but ONLY with Art or Ian. M-F Coast is worthless because of that "host". You have a VERY interesting story to tell and it could be a fascinating interview if done by Art. It would be fitting for Coast.
Reply to this
Here's the deal.
If you want a complete interview, with a host that will go along with the subject and allow the guest to paint their own picture, find a way to get on with Art. Noory is a corporate seat warmer, who has no clue about the subjects covered on Coast. Therefor, he has little idea how to conduct a proper conversation with guests such as yourself. It is a shame that you had to suffer the embarrassment of getting the boot. You show a lot of class for putting it out there for all to see.
Hang in there. Noory is on borrowed time.
Reply to this
Dude that sucks.
I suppose folk only want to hear stuff that they have heard a hundred times before, shame on you for having something interesting to share.
You have got to do the YouTube video so we can all see you doing your Jedi voodoo jazz thing.
Seriously though, are there any after effects of this energy, psychic abilities, telekinesis, improved cognition, spatial awareness or anything else unusual that could possibly be related?

I will be posting it on youtube this week. Thanks everyone for your support.
I went through a period of clair-audio, a period of remote-viewing-like (or maybe it was, in fact, remote viewing) visions, had a monumental I AM experience where I saw and was the creation of all (is it possible to say that with no ego?). and was possessed--that's right, possessed by something that looked like a gargoyle (I could see it superimposed over my skin and feel its feelings. It was basking in the glow of being alive for the few moments it had through me). I've also been shown around what I can only describe as a dojo in some afterlife world by Asian people. Hanging on the walls were portraits of that creature that possessed me.
All of that sounds incredibly schizo and yet it unfolded as a process of awakening the body and the...whatever else ther eis. Mind? Soul? I don't know.
As for long-lasting effects, I now see more in daily life. I see energies in the atmosphere: white wisps, dots of light zipping around, black energies zipping around, and every now and then red ldots of light. They appear to be intelligent in the same way insects or perhaps amoeba are. I mean they aren't sentient beings but they are living energies. That's my sense of them, anyway.
I also saw a ball of light about the size of a giant marble, just smaller than a golf ball, while in that "meditative" state. It sauntered through my closed window. Hovered. And left the same way it came. Myu impression was that it was more intelligent than the other light forms described and could sense someone had entered its field of vision. It came into my room, saw it was me, "shrugged" and wandered away.
It's also clear to me now that chakras are real and important. I don't know in what way they are important--in fact, I don't know if they are a mechanism that we cannot detect or if they are the ductless glands we all have being reactivated--but I know they're important and real. I know this because a lot of what this energy does when I sit and allow it to do its thing is slap outlines on my body from "chakra to chakra" and do pressure point maneuvers around them. I can feel unusual sensations in proximity but I don't actually know what they are for. I know Buddhists and Hindus have whole theories and systems mapped out around chakras but until I experience it I can't endorse it.
What else? Well for the last 3 years I've felt "displaced" in my body. How to describe? Hmmmm...the first time this happened I was working on a shitty VH1 show (go figure) called "True Spin." I was in the bathroom and suddenly felt my sense of self moving up in my body. I mean from head to toe. I thought I was going to leave my body. I didn't. I haven't. But that feeling of being superimposed within the body and kind of moving around in here is nearly constant now. I don't know what that's about either.
There's other stuff but that's good for now, yeah?
Reply to this
WOW! I really wish the other guests on Coast to Coast had a chance to hear about your experiences and comment on them. Let us know when you post on YouTube! Thanks Jeremy. Your life sounds ultimately fascinating!

Well that's the joke of it for me. My life does sound fascinating on paper until you realize there's 365 days in a year and the fascinating stuff covers maybe a few weeks of that total. The rest is, like, couch potato time
I will let you know when it goes up on youtube. In the meantime, I'm dropping the price of my DVD from $19.95 to $13.95. I really want people to see this.

Jeremy...
No, you were NOT a "guest" on C2C -- you were a victim of "The Monday-through-Friday Night Time Radio Train Wreck", with the mad-man conductor of death, Noory....
Your experience is not uncommon in the Bizarro World of Noory. He is a terrible interviewer -- does not LISTEN to what GUESTS say, and show prep must be non-existence.
I hope you can get a Saturday or Sunday night show with Art at some point, and present your story and the UFO Festival properly.
I wish you the best and greatly appreciate your sharing your story on your blog -- the more people who express this truth, the sooner PreRad will find a NEW, EXPERIENCED, TALENTED M-F host to save the reputation of the show and relieve the misery of guests and listeners.

So sorry for the treatment you got from Noory, I don't listen to him so I missed the interview, if that is what you call it. Sad what has happened to week day Coast, time for a change and hope it will be soon.

Jeremy (or should I say "Jerry"?) --
Good Lord, I can't believe it, yet I can believe it. In reflecting on the whole "scene," it seems apparent to me that Art Bell and other interviewers wind up thinking more in terms of playing to their perceptions of what the audience wants than trying to go after real answers to the phenomena (whatever phenomena they're dealing with at the moment). Which is the money angle, not the "truth" angle (so to speak).
I remember there was a kid show host back in the 50's that made an unfortunate comment while "live" when he didn't think he was live, about how much he hated dealing with "the little bastards" or something to that effect. Maybe George will make a similar mistake at some point, and the truth will be plain for all to see.
You have too much of value to offer to get dragged down by the stupid side of the UFO community -- the merchants, the debunker/skeptics and the just plain gullible. I can't believe that there's only a handful of folks that can appreciate what you do.
Keep fighting. We're with ya.

I'm not surprised by Noory's lackluster interviewing techniques. I quit listening to him a few months back. Too many inane comments, and it's obvious he does not pay attention to the guests. In my opinion, he's an utter moron. My pug puppy probably has a higher IQ than George. At the very least, he's far more entertaining.
Reply to this
What happened to you Jeremy is sad , but is happening more and more on Coast to Coast AM. It has been proven that George surfs the web while the guest is talking.Or is busy packing boxes with his beloved book . Which by the way you must know is not getting very good reviews on AMAZON. In fact it hurt George bad enough he suggests to his guests to put in a good reviews for his book on Amazon then he will let them back on the show.
The biggest problem is that the guest is left to carry the show. Thats not how it should be. The host should have enough talent to sit at a table with any one and do his best. I want to note that as of last night there was a NEW guest host named JOHN B WELLS . This guy is like a young Art Bell. He has talent to talk to his guest and allow freedom and self confidence to those that call in. Jeremy and anyone reading this blog would do best by contacting Premier Radios Kraig Kitchen or Coast To coasts producer Lisa Lyon that John B Wells Should be the week day host. If John takes over if the fans work together Jeremy you can finally be allowed your time on national radio.

Don't take it personally. George's ratings are dying, he's threatening to sue forums for speaking negative of him, and he's been kicking more guests lately than Art Bell EVER did.
This strikes me as a man, whose career is tanking. So, I'm sure he is stressed out, and not paying attention--plus, be bungles interviews ALL the time. Maybe you confused him so much, he got mad, and bounced you because he was jealous..
In other words.. Try to get on with Art next time. Art has the brain cells to carry an intelligent convo with his guests.

I wish I could say I'm surprised but I've heard GN do this to many guests. Thank you so much for putting this on the blog so everyone can see what happens behind the scenes. Don't expect an apology cos it isn't gonna happen. However Coast listeners are sorry that happened to you. The trouble is you have a real story. GN only likes to hear from frauds like Sylvia Browne or dr. Turi. Good luck.

It's not you, it's not you, it's not you! I still listen occasionally to George's interviews (sometimes gritting my teeth) to try to hear the guest. If he keeps this up - and I am afraid he will - all the good guests are going to be gone.
Sorry you had such a frustrating experience - just know that it's not you. It's him. And millions of people heard it.

Doesn't surprise me a all either. It actually HURTS to listen to Coast as I work at night... I desperately HOPE that NOORY is Gone Soon!!! John Wells would be a Great replacement... I did hear HIM last night.

I'm so sorry about what happened to you. I, also, almost jumped out of my seat when George asked if it could have been an angel. It didn't make sense and I thought I had drifted off to sleep and missed something. I wish I could have heard your entire story.
Reply to this
I heard Noory's "angel" question, and it
immediately struck me as a complete non-sequitor, but totally in keeping with Noory's poor interviewing skills, which are built on the twin attrbiutes of not listening to the guests and not being smart enough to hold an engaging conversation.
Reply to this
Nothing much else to say that everyone hasn't said already. Noory's an egotistical bonehead.
Do all these experiences above stem from the abductions? Can't wait to hear you on The Paracast with people who know how to interview.
Reply to this
The energy thing doesn't stem from abductions. It began the moment I really, deep down GOT what Jiddu Krishnamurti was saying in all of his talks, which is basically this: There is no path to Truth because Truth is timeless and paths involves time. Truth is the unknown and you can't reach it with the known, with thought. So if there is such a thing as Truth, to experience it (or more appropriately, for it to become you) one must do away with all thought, which includes the thinker, with no motivation in mind, not even to find Truth. Just shut up for the sake of shutting up, basically, because the ego/brain will never figure this out. You cannot solve this so stop trying.
This is not the same as giving yourself over to a higher power. You're not giving over your self, the self is giving up. Egoic suicide. How can you give your self over to anything? Who is doing the giving?
So I got it--deep down, not just rationally--really got it and in that moment disolved into the moment and this energy welled up, or came in, causing my head to spin (not like the Exorcist movie; like when you're exercising) and also causing me to slip a disk in my back. From then on, this energy has been with me wanting to express itself and "I" hold it back like a dam.
A few people have suggested it's kundalini energy and having read up on it, it does sound related. But some instances don't fit into that. For instance, months prior to the following instance, I'd ruled out possession, thinking this is the body's natural language when we step aside and let it speak. Like instinct. But one fine day while letting it do its thing in my bedroom, I ended up squatting, resting my elbow on my knee and realized my hand was gesturing in a way that looked conversational. Looked like I was talking to someone, though my mouth wasn't moving. My body stood up, did a series of bows, and then it felt as if someone walked through me. It was actually very cinematic in that it was this icye chill you see expressed in ghost movies. This was around the time I was having visions of Asian people and being show around a dojo in some other dimension.
So not alien-born but alien-related. I've had a couple of experiences where they have either manipulated this energy or somehow been involved with it. So they're aware of it and quite possibly have been waiting for me to "realize" it for (or as?) myself.
Krishnamurti's other main point was that no one can do this for you; you have to see this for yourself as it's an individual process. So I don't think aliens or anybody can make this happen--not in a lasting, meaningful way--because it's you who have to clear out the psychological baggage enough to even see what I'm talking about and then go, 'Oh. I get it. I will never get it.' In such a way that the "I," recognizing itself as an illusion, a barrier to Truth, then disappears.
The sucky thing is, Krishnamurti never said what comes next. He just said, "Do it and find out." So I'm reporting on the what's next I guess.

Long Time Coast Listener here. I don't believe any of the stuff on Coast, except the science or possibly some near future sci . Mostly its just entertainment to me. That said, I couldn't figure out why George acted like he was pissed off at your for accepting his offer to appear.

Interesting description of the energy flows in your body and the EEG results. No coherence usually means unconsciousness.
Noory has repeatedly proved that he's an idiot. I hope C2C gives you air time with a real interviewer.
Reply to this
Wow, I didn't know that's what coherence was. Masahiro is from Japan so it's incredibly hard to follow what he's saying a lot of the time. Huh. Unconscious and yet I'm fully conscious at all times. How is that possible?
By the way, folks, I am not editing these comments. So if you think I'm the assclown and Noory's the angel, by all means write in. I'm posting everything.
Reply to this
i'm just sorry that you had to learn about noory's shortcomings the hard way, jeremy, you deserve better as a guest. it amazes me that he could even be on the radio, much less such a huge show as c2c. i've emailed them (again) to let them know how disapppointed i am and that noory should be fired for being such a douschebag (sorry to drop such technical terms on you). you've handled it with more grace than i would be able to muster. i'll be watching youtube for the video! i'd also like to ask you (along with everyone else) to try the show again with art or ian or the new 'guest host' (whom i really believe and pray is being groomed to take noory's job). thanks again for the info, and sorry for the treatment!

Thanks for being proactive. I dunno how well it would go over me calling in for Art or Ian. But if you all wanna do a write-in campaign on my behalf I'd probably cry myself to sleep with angelic (that's right) tears of joy.

Welcome to Coast to Coast weeknights, Jeremy! Tonight's show, as always, will be incompetently hosted with pride by George Noory, the master of malapropisms, mixed metaphors, mispronunciations, and the ever popular non sequitur! Be amazed as George, no matter what the subject, interrupts his guests to ask, "Are you afraid of clowns?", "Could it have been a shadow person?", and "Are you sure it wasn't an angel?" All hail the mighty Premier Radio, diversity advocate extraordinaire, for having the breathtaking courage to give a mentally handicapped person his very own nationally syndicated radio show! *tooting the horn on the clown car*

Hey Sweet Pea,
Like the others, I extend my sympathy for the way you were treated, but wasn't surprised. I've been studying Noory's behavior for several years now & his treatment of you was par for the course, although I must say he rose to the pinnacles of fucktardedness with you the other night. There's something deeply wrong with that man, as well as his associates. Check out my blog if you'd like a few laughs at his expense - you certainly deserve them. Feel free to email me, too, I have other information to share.
Good luck to ya - it's good to see you're not letting that cretin drag you down. He's a bottom feeder, plain and simple.

PS- He may threaten to sue you - if he does, remember he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. Let him do it - it will be good publicity for you.

I've always been a fan of the word "fucktard." I've never seen it used as "fucktardedness." I wish more people would, it's got to be up there with "douche-baggery" as a laugh-inducer.

I forgot to add. On Jan 28th 2006 I was cut off by C2C Live as an Open Lines caller. That happens all the time. But just one problem the guest knew me and C2C did not have that clue. After my short 1st story on my rock n roll mystery.
I was about to ask R. Gary Patterson his thoughts on The Doors' "Riders On The Storm" and the mess we are in now in the continuous storm in the Middle East. This Doors mention was in my intro.
I just about got to say, "And now the question to Gary about.....and zip I was gone. I was not a happy trucker.
Ian did not cut the line, C2C did. I had talked to Ian before and when you close you still hear the show as you hang up. Rant over and I enjoyed the eye opener above.
Good Luck! Not cool radio when listeners wonder what's going on with a host's odd questions

Wow, this is shocking to me. I keep expecting to get torn a new one by Noory fans. Where are all the Noory fans?! Or at least some good ol' fashioned backlash in the key of, "Stop whining! Ooooh poor you, you got hung up on...waaaah!"
I'm starting to actually feel bad for Noory.
I tried to upload the footage to my computer last night but failed. I don't know why. If I can't figure it out by Thursday I'll give it to an editor friend who can do it and it'll be up by the weekend.

You are in good company Jeremy.
Some time ago, noory tossed William Henry off the show as well. He had to eat crow on that one, I assure you. Hopefully he will get his ducks in a row and apologise to you too.
Your story is fascinating and deserves to be heard.
Reply to this
Sadly, you are seeing what we listeners have seen as a trend for the last few years regarding Noory's poor conduct.
Noory refuses to hold assistant producer Tommy accountable for rude unprofessional emails to listeners.
Noory refuses to answer the allegations that his Sci-Fi Channel special was not a pilot but rather paid programming.
Noory ceased to be the nighthawk and became the pigeon once he was given creative control of the show.
Either Noory is doing all of this with full knowledge of what he is doing or handlers are feeding him misinformation.
Regardless, listeners and program directors are growing tired of his antics, and things must change or the show is going to start loosing market share.
Reply to this
This was not surprising. Snoory does this all the time. I can't even count on two hands and two feet how many guests he's dumped just this year because his head was in fantasy land and not paying attention to the guest.
The angel thing aint new either. He throws that out there with the open line callers all the time. UFO sightings, ghosts, or anything else paranormal in nature is either a religious experience or the person is on drugs or drunk.
PremRad has been trying to steer C2C into more of a conservatively mainstream show every since they tapped George as the worthy successor to Art. I think they want him to fit in line with the rest of the daytime programming. If you look at the average type of show since George took over about half or more of them are Bible-thumper shows or at least religion themed. Why do you think he "doesn't believe in coincidences"? It's because he thinks everything is God's plan. Nothing wrong with that it's just I don't think C2C is the place to be holding a sermon.
Oh, and why you were baffled by the questions Snoory was asking? You're right he doesn't prep. Those questions are all scripted for him. That's why there's no rhyme or reason to the flow and direction of them.

Wow the amount of responses are really amazing. I really am starting to think that the Noor has lost all of his fans on the internet at least. Keep it up Jeremy!

Jeremy, I am so glad you posted your experience here. I downloaded the interview to load to CD to save/listen to in my car (standard procedure - I'm an interview packrat) but George did such a bizarre job that I just deleted it. Your website (which I reviewed prior to the show) was very refreshing - honest "crude" talk from a real guy!! I have never heard George screw up so completely since Gary Renard was on, and George blew up at one point, saying that he hadn't understood anything Gary said for the last 20 minutes (Gary is a world famous metaphysics teacher of A COURSE IN MIRACLES). Gary was then dumped. Gary wrote about this in his book YOUR IMMORTAL REALITY, so it shocked him too! Your big mistake was that you didn't attribute your energy surges to demonic possession by the anti-Christ, and tie your abductions into End Times prophecy. George just eats up that doom & gloom fundie religious stuff like a hog at the trough! Thanks again for being a real guy.

Hi Jeremy,
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you on C2C. I can no longer tolerate George on C2C, so I didn't hear it live. I'm not sure if anyone else has picked up on this, but it's the main reason I can no longer listen to George: Too many Christian themed shows and guests talking about Jesus, hell, angels and how everything in the bible is the truth and the sole word of God. This is the biggest difference between George and Art. Art had an open mind, and while it is no secret Art believes in Jesus and the Christian God, he always managed to have an open mind and explore other beliefs and ideas..not so with George. I can literally feel George cringe on the air when someone tries to take the conversation in a direction that is not "christiancentric", and that makes for a very bad interview. I would like to remind everyone that Art still holds much power over what C2C airs and who is on it, after all it is his baby, so please email Art DIRECTLY at artbell@mindspring.com and tell him about this and send him a link to this page. Art needs to know these things, as I am sure he doesn't want the show that made him what he is today to go down in a ball of flames. I just don't think he is aware of how bad and widespread this problem with George is, especially since people are so happy he is on the weekends (like myself) that they don't mention this to him for lack of time or excitement to be speaking to the big kahuna. So email him today folks, lets not put this off anymore. I hate seeing the show I loved so much go down like this. Jeremy, email Art and try to get on the air with him, he will treat you with the respect you deserve. Take care!

PJ who wrote email Art Bell and let him know what happened, you need to stop already. Is Art, Georges mom. Lets all go and tell on George Noory that he is not doing what we want him to do. Quit your crying already PJ. You sound like Arts boyfriend. Why dont you call Noory and tell him that, you know why cause he would PIMP SLAP you!!

I heard your interview. He was rude to you from the start. I'm glad to hear that other people noticed this too. Perhaps you should have rambled incoherently about end times and read random passages from the Bible that had no connection to what you were saying. You would have been given the floor with no interruptions unless the inane J.C. called while you were talking.

Jeremy,
J.C. is some bible thumping nut case who calls in to C2C and tells everyone they are going to hell and such, but he sounds so ridiculous with this animated voice, Art and the audience usually just laughs their head off to him. By the way Jeremy, have you tried contacting Art to see if you can do an interview with him?
Reply to this
Thanks for the info. Nah, I haven't tried Art yet. I'll wait until I have something juicy to share. It might be in poor form to go running to Art after George booted me.
By the way, good to see at least one person in a forum is now defining a guest getting treated poorly as "The Vaeni Treatment."
Can we pretty please turn my last name into a verb? From now on can getting shafted by the host of any show be called, "Vaenied?" That would be hysterical. Please spread this around the internets.

He's a guy who calls in every other show, OBVIOUSLY pretending to be a religious fanatic. His act was kinda' funny at one time. It just gets on my nerves now, especially when it disrupts the flow of the show.

Jeremy,
Since Art just retired today to spend time with his family (again, but he says this time it's official) it probably wouldn't help you to tell him anyway, although he did say he will fill in when needed. My main point was to let the big wigs their know how unhappy we are with George..but no big whoop, I'm not going to listen at all now that Art is gone, so basically it's Whitley Strieber's UnknownCountry.com now for my weekly online show listening. And to those who love George, enjoy getting your almost daily fill of ridiculous bible prophesy till you burst...lol. Nothing like enlightened listeners, huh? =)
Good luck to ya Jeremy.

Sorry but I don't buy any of this. I think your interview really sucked and probably the reason you were cut off is because of that fact plus your phone kept beeping. You were jumping all over the place and guess what Art would have had NONE of that nonsense. I just listened to it and I had a really hard time following what the hell you were talking about and I was listening intently.
Your support here comes from disgruntled C2C listeners who took over the boards on streamlink.
Amazingly these people had no comment whatsoever on the C2C boards whilst you were being interviewed.
I feel for you because I get nervous too and get tongue tied but this really is cut and dried to me.
I am sure this comment will not be displayed ( big surprise ) because you want to feel like it wasn't your fault but I really think in this case it was.

I am a member of streamlink, although I rarely if ever post there. I don't see any other streamlink members posting here except for Tim Binnall. Though I admit I might not know them since I don't frequent streamlink boards.
I was listening over streamlink and didn't hear Jeremy's phone beep once. Besides that it was Noory who kept jumping all over and changing subjects, not Jeremy. Listen carefully and see how Noory goes from talking about one thing to asking a question that has nothing at all to do with it.
Reply to this
These posts are all so true.. I find the biggest conspiracy theory is why George has been allowed to ruin this show during the week. Now that Art is gone I might seriously cancel my streamlink. I like listening to the guests, but I really can't listen to this moron any more..Hopefully they'll get someone good to replace Art or get rid of Noory.I heard that interview and felt something was going really wrong there. George is a retarded jackass, thats it.
Reply to this
I'm sure I'm not the only old time C2C listener who remembers the good'ole days when Streamlink was free. And I'm sure I'm also not the only one who is still pissed they started charging for it. Clear Chanel makes so much profit it's offensive to me the BS reason they gave as to why they started charging for their streamlink. They are trying to squeeze every single cent out of listeners, and are doing a fine job of it. Thanks Jeremy for the paracast link, I'll have to check them out. Let's just hope whomever they find to replace Art on the weekends is tolerable. Of course at this point, anyone is better than Snoory..um..Noory..lol.
Reply to this
Guess I haven't heard George ask about angels as often as I've heard something like, "Golly, gee, you do believe in demons?" He practically writhes with the thought of EVIL. Makes me want to puke, but I just have to hear some interviews because the guests are too good to pass up even if the interviewer is awful and the interview skewed with such nonsense.
I hope Ian takes over Art's spot and have suggested it to producers. He can follow a subject to it's conclusion and will veer from a script of questions, they all probably get from producers, when the guest makes a provocative statement.
What gets me is George is the only one who announces all the supporting Coast message boards. For the most part, if one visits those boards he will find a lot of criticism of George! Talk about self-defeating.
I felt you got the shaft because George, ultimately, can't grasp anything less than the obvious and new vistas of information are simply lost on him. It is kind of sad and infuriating too.
Thanks SO MUCH for the paracast link!

Thanks for your willingness to tell it like it is. At best, what happened was very unprofessional. Worse case, the emerging personality of someone ill prepared for the task of doing an interview, keeping things flowing in a smooth way, and not going all over the place with no direction at all..
Sadly, I hear more and more of this behavior on the show, guest and callers being cut off in mid sentence, only for the host to go off on a totally different tangent. Sorry it happened to you as well.

Just want to chime in and add my feelings of frustration with George Noory. I remember the interview being discussed, among many others I've seethed at -- and wondered HOW and WHY can this idiot Noory be allowed such a position in broadcasting when he is so inarticulate, has such a poor command of grammar and of the English language in general? - Not to mention his lack of manners and sophistication, his inability to comprehend what is being said by his guests, and most annoying, his repeated use of the word INCREDIBLE! Someone should get him a thesaurus to show him there are other adjectives that can be used! He loves to throw the word EVIL around as well. The man is so one-dimensional it's depressing. Well, thank you for letting me vent, and I'm actually happy to find so many others who feel the same way. (Thought I was the only one!) - Gabrielle

That's really too bad you got booted by George. Sometimes he is really dense. I often yell at the radio when he asks really retarded questions of guests.
Now to your delta waves. Actually this is very normal for a peron at your level of development.
You need to spend some time studying the writings of Ken Wilber. He is an advanced meditator who can instantly enter delta. His mind has adapted itself to becoming one with the universal consciousness which all people return to in deep dreamless sleep.
When your energy ramps up you are simply connecting with this primal mind and it's energy. The fact that your brain responds by going into delta is scientific physical proof of a spiritual principle.
The goal of all mediators is to be in delta all the time. Wilber is such a person. If he wore a eeg on his head daily you would see that delta is always there.

Thanks for the info. Actually I've read a good number of Wilber's books. I'm a big fan, but I didn't know that about delta. Why is delta the goal if alpha is the meditative state?

I was eagerly listening to your C2C interview and was all psyched to hear your story ... then George went "off-the-walls bonkers" and gave you the boot! In my opinion, George was a total turd, asking STUPID, IRRELEVANT questions that were so disconnected and condescending that it shocked me ... not really though cause I think he's a fraud anyway.
George is a passive-aggressive who hides his little back-stabbing tendencies behind an "oh what a humble, meek, nice-guy I am" facade.
Other guests kiss his @ss to be on the C2C show, simply to get their message out -- that's just the name of the game. But Noory doesn't fool me one bit. He's out to feather his own bed on the coat-tails of authentic GIANTS, like Art Bell.
But he is a 2nd-rate hack. He is a name-dropping whore, and capable of any and all low-life doings to pander to the typical percentage (20% -- maybe?) of the low-life listeners.
The Ouija-Board fiasco is one notorious example of how low he'd go and how overtly ambitious he is, regardless of the millions of "children" (pre-teens and teens) who would be listening and mimicking his STUPIDLY-IRRESPONSIBLE actions. The thought of doing such a thing -- putting vulnerable and innocently-naive young-ones at risk!
I wrote him a scathing e-mail on that one myself, prophesying that he and C2C would disappear into oblivion if he went through with it. Apparently, he chickened out at the absolute last minute -- thank heaven!
Anyway, you have nothing to be ashamed of for Noory's stupid character-flaws! His ego is so infused with his own hot-air that he believes his own press. Anyone got a pin?
If I were you, and if ever you were to attempt C2C again, I'd aim for Ian Punnet's program. At least he's an intellectual and an educated host, nor does he pretend to be something he's not (like Noory does-- a phony psychic! Plus, Noory is a "fear-monger" of the worst kind, stirring up fear where none exists!).
Punnet has a great sense of humor and injects "puns" which I enjoy -- though sometimes a wee distracting at times, but it seems to be his only flaw. Having a sense of humor, for me, is an added benefit of listening to his programs. Plus, he tends to get more serious guests in his line-up, which after seeing your youtube video clip, raises some very important questions regarding your brain-wave spikes in the Delta realm. I'm very curious to learn more about your movements and what it all means.
I really wanted to hear your story, though, and am glad to have connected to your site and got the C2C-low-down here, via Whitley Strieber's web page, which linked me. Maybe you could get some exposure there in an interview. I'd still like to hear your complete UFO/ET story though on air, as I'm sure others would too.
Keep on the path, though, cause there are dark-forces that don't want information such as you are presenting to become public knowledge.
Sincerely,
VJ Greene

I just came across your article. George Noory is so self absorbed it makes me sick. It takes a really interesting guest for me to listen to c2c now. I used to listen all the time. When their is an interesting guest like yourself on George cuts him off. Its like hes on prescription drugs. Sometimes he gets it. Sometimes ( most times ) he don't.

Thanks for the support. Hope I can provide a show more to your liking.

Jeremy,
I didn’t hear the show that night but I found your blog by “accident”. It’s not a surprise. I met him (Noory) in person in Seattle and he has a darkness in his aura that is uncomfortable. ..it’s black.
He will NEVER be Art Bell.
Once all of this stuff starts being more common knowledge among listeners and the ratings go south, they’ll can him.
The radio business is about bringing in revenue.
The reason why C2C is so popular is that people are looking for answers to the odd surprises the universe presents them with.
Sorry this happened to you but it’s my sense it happened to you because you’re real. Personally I think they’re trying to destroy what Art Created by having a prominent volume of fakes on the show and the more fake the host is, the more Noory kisses their ass.
Ever here how he interjects sometimes in mid sentence with some hosts how he is such great friends with them, that they’re bosom pals and buddies, which the Coat audience doesn’t need to know.
It just feels slimy to me when he does this and it’s very telling when he finds it necessary to cling to the laurels of his guests that way.
My prediction is that Art Will be back sometime early next year while C2C restructures. It’s my feeling that Ian Punnet will take the lead. They’ll can the program director under new management and it will cascade from there.
But really, how hard would it be to have an FM program on at the same time covering similar subjects but by a more interesting host?
The program material sells itself.

It's odd timing that you're writing this now because last Thursday I received my first in a string of emails from one of the producers of Coast that started off on semi-friendly terms but soon became hostile (I believe on his part.)
Weird in that I haven't heard from Coast in all this time--I was on 3 months ago--but now they're calling me...expecting an apology!!!!
Hysterical.
So when I saw that I had new comments I thought, 'Oh no. I get it. I'm not apologizing for some mythical crime against the Worker In The Light's producer, and now he's going to call all his buddies and tell them to leave nasty comments about me to see if I post them.'
Not to be.
And so I'm actually quite thankful for your comment.
Listen, the hubris of these assholes is astounding. I'll just say that right out of the gate. If I can post their emails you will see what I mean and come to your own conclusions. I'm going to look into the legality of posting our email exchange. Part of me believes that he's purposely trying to get me to post it (knowing that I'd do such a thing) so that they can sue me.
Too conspiratorial?
Why are they contacting me now? Why do they care? I'm a tiny voice in the noise ithat is ufology. So I--or probably you, the people who continue to comment negatively toward their show--must have some power, some influence over them that we don't know about.
Everybody on here, just know that they are reading all of this. I mean all of it, that much is clear too. And for whatever reason, they care.

When George first started years ago, he took a lot of the load off of Art. The test guest hosts were not working out well at that time. Bell had a lot on his plate, was getting burned out, and the interviews were faltering. Now, George has clearly reached that state. I suppose a conspiracy theorist might blame the increasing failure of George to some surreptitious interventionist that is trying to shut down the dissemination of useful information on Coast. So far, it's working beautifully.
You may notice GN can't string three sentences together without using the phrase "I mean." I suppose at some point he'll ramp up the use of other teenager expressions, such as "like" and "you know." During one show I heard him refer to himself as a professional broadcaster. Seems to me that warming a seat does not make one a professional, no more than publishing an inane book makes one an accomplished writer.
The other night GN had on a guest who I had not previously heard of, physicist Tom Campbell, who was there to talk about his experiences exploring different realms of consciousness. This guest has written a trilogy of books that rank highly in Amazon. What to me could have been a fascinating interview was nothing more than GN trying to kill time with useless topical questions, such as "What do you think of Einstein," and "What would you say to Jesus if you met him in your travels through other realms?" Those are right up there with the usual "How did you get interested in this? Was it something in your childhood?" and "What do you think of the year 2012?"
GN may be either surfing, instant messaging, or reading fast blasts. Whatever is the problem, it's obvious he's not engaged in the guest and has not been with any guest for several years. I've heard many a guest go into detail about the guest's research and theory behind it, only to have GN ask in the next half hour, "so tell me about your research." To get any focused attention from George you need to be a caller on the wildcard line and ramble at length about disjointed nonsense. But then, perhaps that's the only wavelength George understands.
I always record the show and listen to it later. I'm not sure how anyone can stand George without fast forwarding through the foolishness and lame commercials George breathlessly reads. A week or so ago Ian explained how guests are asked to submit a list of pertinent questions to the CTC producers before the show. The questions are a tool to elicit the most probing and insightful thoughts from the guest. It's obvious the George is getting his questions from the work the guest has done, and not prepping himself. He never seems to keep track of what question has been asked, since he sometimes asks varients of the same question more than once.
Reply to this
George is completely incapable of asking a followup question. So what is George's value add? He reads questions that the guest has submitted. He asks stock questions of every guest. He reads the news in the first half hour. But then, it's the same news that everyone has been hearing about all day. As a rule of thumb, you can skip the first half hour. However, you don't want to skip the second half hour: Even though he's been discredited on Coast To Coast during an interview with one of the architects of the government Remote Viewing black project, Major Head Games might come on to blather. Or you'll miss Richard Hoagland making up stuff as he goes along. And you'll miss George sucking up to them both.
CoastToCoastAM is an institution, of which George is only the current host. It's bigger than George. The producers and Premiere Radio are doing a disservice to the brand by keeping George in the chair full time. George should be moved to a once or twice a week host, with other guests taking over the other days (please God, not mindless yappy retro-happy Rollye James). Another option would be for hosts to be on one week, off the next week or two. That would keep the hosts from getting burned out, and also let them know that they if they coast on Coast, they're replaceable. Whatever happens, it's clear that the current format with George is failing.

I don’t think there is anything conspiratorial about a radio program that needs a news program director and has veered its course away from public interest. We are the ones interested in this kind of stuff, not them. But they don’t seem to get that.
Cost 2 Coast AM is not George, or Tom, or Ian or all the rest of them. Coast 2 Coast AM is us; it’s our hope for something better and our desire to know who we are and why we are here. Coast is our passion to connect to that which is hidden beneath the surface of a vast ocean that undulates within the human psyche. And more, what it can tell us about the cumbersome physicality we have to haul around. We tend to feel so small in the universe. But we’re really not.
If you want to post the emails, post them. I don’t think they’re trying to bait you for a law suit; they’re just an unconscious corporate entity which means they're thoughtless.(The Peter Principal is very likely in play here) I wouldn’t read more into it than is actually there. You’ll only be making an investment into the wounding they gifted you with out of their own stupidity. Let it heal. You are more than your pain.
What interests me in particular actually, is that they have been giving rather robust plugs on air to a website that is actually somewhat better than theirs. I think it’s www.abovetopsecret.com . The owners of this website could very likely launch their very own paranormal radio show on the AM dial. The Market is wide open for it. After all there is only one paranormal radio show spawning discontent among its listeners. If they were able to convince enough of the right sponsors to get on board they could do it effective immediately.
ATS may have them a little worried, hence the ass kissing.

That's very elegant; thank you for that. I will say that I don't have a wound (that I know of...I could be repressing). It's actually inspiring me to forge onward with this stuff. Between these emails and the sheer psychosis I witnessed at the X-Conference last weekend the picture is clear: There's a new, lucid era of ufology coming to the fore and the outdated, irrelevant (and often insane) players know this.
Reply to this
I'm afraid that too many who rely on the insane part of the UFO field for their bread and butter will always be around. The trick is not to get into the infighting and, in fact, rise above it or one just becomes part of the problem rather than the solution.
That said, I hope Coast producers understand how really ridiculous George Noory is. He seems to have gotten his interviewing techniques from Howdy Doody. George and I are the same age so I can say this with some qualification that youngsters will never know.
Wish I could have been at the X-Conference.
Reply to this
I remember the show and wondered what happened as your story was still unfolding. It's not surprising that the whole interview is not on the C2C streamlink; they've only listed a portion of it and not the sections you've quoted. From the little I heard, George seemed unusually upset with you.
I think that he may have thought you were making fun of the UFO contact with your giggling; however, it came across to me that you were nervous about telling your story.
It's too bad that the show doesn't have the same luster as it did for years; I won't blame George totally as he is only the "voice" of the show. I do know from my work as a business consultant that you are only as good as your employees; their performance and professionalism definitely affect the product.
If I were you, I'd just stop wasting time on a negative situation. It's bad for your health and psyche. Keeping a focus on C2C, George & Tom will divert you from the path you should be moving toward.
As for me, it would be interesting to hear the whole story and I'll look for another of your radio appearances to hear it. I've been looking for other shows to listen to because I'm getting tired of hearing Ed Dames talk about how they haven't quite pinpointed a location, pre-written Q&As straight from a publicist, plugs about books, and the phrase "there's no such thing as a coincidence".

Thanks for your comments, Elena. I have moved on. (Although I can't say the same for them since their producer was emailing me recently.) It's the thread that won't die, though, and I find that fascinating. I get emails from people asking me not to post their comments, but they just had to tell me....and emails too long for the authors to post themselves. In fact, here's one now....
Jeremy,
I heard the C to C interview and also felt it go wrong from
the beginning. "Was that suspicion in old George's tone?
Suspicion -- when he's never been suspicious of the three
million halfwits he's interviewed for the last five or so
years -- not even the guy who thinks he's a horse?" Sho
nuff.
So what? So you don't agonize, here's a story of exquisite
personal embarrassment much worse than yours, well, given
that you are possibly one of three people George Noorey hasn't
found credible enough to be interviewed on Coast To Coast.
I'm a teacher. What's my subject? Who gives a rat's ass?
Why wouldn't you? You wouldn't because I'm also crippled.
Confused? Read on. You'll see how this fits together.
Through the connections of a friend of the family and for
hundreds and hundreds of dollars, I managed to get an
appointment to see the third foremost fucking, quack surgeon
in the US, specializing in the fourth and fifth vertebrate
of the lower lumbar region of the spine. My back is
completely fucked. Was, and is. And for hundreds and
hundreds of dollars more, I flew off to University Hospital
in Madison, WI., for my visit.
The bastard was getting paid by the second, and I could see
oceans of dollars, and all the excruciating things I have to
do as a teacher to get them, floating before me as the
abused little medical women took the MRI. I sit back in the
torturous, plastic-form-fit chair (five bucks in Costco's
office furniture section) in his office and wait.
In walks his medical highness, smirking like Bush at his
very worst and dumbest. He had that Bush, 'bouncing on the
balls of his feet' look that just made you want to slap him.
"You have, Mr. Weber, an old injury."
(Yes, doctor sociopath.yes, doctor Royal, Medical
Motherfucker. Yes. Tell me something I don't know.) and I
wait.
"If you look to the bottom section of the lower,
mid-thoracic group of vertebrate on the image, you can see
that everything is fine."
(Right, you son of a bitch! I came in at great expense for
you to examine every inch of me that seems just fine, but
please, PLEASE don't look at one inch of me that might need
medical attention. I have money to burn and yacht payments
to which to contribute!)
"Down here, toward the lower lumbar region, we can count the
vertebrate and the discs between them. And notice the color
on the image. Disc material between L1, is white. L2,
white. L3, white. But L4 and 5, they're black. You have
what we call, black disc disease," he says.a big, toothy
grin.
"Well, doc, put me on the program."
"There isn't one."
(Well, then give me whatever untested, dangerous,
profit-producing, shareholder-pleasing pharmaceutical you're
pimping this month and probably taking yourself.)
"But there is a new drug."
(Now you're talking.)
"Non-narcotic."
(Shit!)
"The only side effect is it causes your mouth to be slightly
dry."
(Yeah, screw the medical practice, but I'll bet you're an
expert on dry-mouth, doc.)
"Thanks, doc." Hundreds and hundreds of dollars later, I
fly home.
I have a class the next day. It's a new term - first day of
class. I water down my hair, put on my spiffy, hundred
dollar suit, pop one of my new, wonder pills, and stride
importantly into class. (More like a hobble. I hobble.on
good days.) There sit 40 of America's finest 18 year olds
in various states of stinking hungoverness.
"Class, before I begin, I'd like to apologize in advance. I
have a painful condition for which I am taking a new,
non-narcotic drug. The side effect is a slightly dry mouth,
so I will be sipping water throughout the period."
Some bleary-eyed inebriate from the front row asks, "What's
your painful condition, Mr. Weber?"
"I have black disc disease," and I stress the "black disc"
part of my explanation, my tongue popping out the D. Have
you ever had that dry, upper lip that gets hung up on your
front teeth while trying to smile, making you look the
phantom of the opera? This was much worse. Yep, I told 40,
18 year olds I had Black DICK disease. Hearing my mistake,
I yell, "NO, DISC, DISC!" Too late.
The class hits the floor. Paint comes off the walls. The
black kid in the front row says, "Don't worry about it, Mr.
Weber, man, I got that same damn thing."
Half the inebriates were swallowing their tongues in
hilarity, and the other half were horrified.
"Mr. Weber.is that like.Chlamydia?
"Oh, no, honey. I would love to have Chlamydia. I pray for
syphilis. What I have is so damn bad you can't even
pronounce the name, so they try to make it sound better by
calling it BLACK DICK disease!"
That's why it doesn't matter what subject I teach. I begin
by telling everyone I have black dick disease, and that's
really quite enough. It's sort of like a White House Press
briefing where they ask Bush about his plan for anything.
Who gives a shit that he doesn't have one.nobody listens to
the answer anyway. And I'm still crippled.
The next day was tough, though. "Mister Weber, you so
funny. I told my momma what you said."
"Oh, good, good. Tell Grammie, too. I wouldn't want her to
miss anything."
See, now? That's much worse than being thrown off C to C.
I had to go back the next day and try to regain my
credibility. And it took four years.until every last one of
the little bastards quit or had graduated.
Best,
Bill

Wow, glad I found this. I was searching for the first hour Budd Hopkins interview from the other night since I missed it.
I'll pile on because I have MAJOR PROBLEMS with GEORGE NOORY hosting C2C. I have hated how he's run the show into the ground for years!!! He can't read the news without tripping over his tongue and continually mis-speaking words without correcting is how he starts the first ten minutes of every show. He's got George Bush-like skills with the English language (seriously).
He asks the same questions of every guest. i.e. - What was your most memorable experience? What was your scariest encounter? Anyone can ask these and they are meaningless. He never asks a follow-up on a previous question. He never probes deeper than the first question then goes on to ask the guest if they ever saw the movie 'Contact' or some other movie with no bearing on the subject. By the way, he glommed onto 'Contact' when he first started only because Art mentioned it a few times. Back then he constantly referred to Art as 'the Master' (what a kiss-ass (I like Art by the way)).
I remember the interview with you by the way. I picked up on his ridiculous angel questions. He does crap like this to so many guests it's shameful. He also asks dumb questions on things a guest thoroughly covered in a previous hour, only to be reminded by the guest when they mention that they spent the first hour laying it out. He's done it with big name guests who are really on their game too.
George Noory can't even say a complete sentence, because he's forgotten his original point half way through. So then he stumbles with a completely disjointed remark. One gets the feeling that he is surfing online porn when his remarks have nothing to do with what his guest is talking about.
Lately he doesn't make such a big point of "no coincidences". Seems like he backed off that about a year ago when Art made a point to say on the weekend that "of course there are coincidences"
Then he backed off his 2012 retirement. He needs to be forcibly retired.
George Noory is scared stiff of a political opinion of any kind. Art wasn't afraid to air his opinions and made no bones about it. I'm listening to the show now, and George is basically apologizing to a caller for Alex Jones and Sean David Morton for having political views. What a wuss. This show began as a political-op show.
He uses open lines all the damn time because he is too lazy to do real interviews. Open lines seriously pisses me off. It's utter tripe. Then we get to hear Noory try to flirt with some dumb chick with a southern drawl for 10 minutes on a call where you can tell he just wants to know what she's wearing.
If anyone from the network reads this, what I'm basically saying is, fire George Noory! He's dumbed down the show beyond belief and made it trash. If you look around on the net, the only problem with the show you will see people talking about is George Noory. He's a dummy and he's boring.
Fire George Noory!

George Noory simply has to go otherwise Coast to Coast will crash and burn - - -
George Noory? I say - SHUT UP STUPID!, you're a 100% dumb ass freaking idiot - and BOO!
My squat can run a show better than Short Changed - I mean George Noory. Where do such worthless brainless empty headed marvels come from anyway?
Noory is always throwing his guests off balance. It ALWAYS the same shallow bull from Noory - like: The guest comes across with some seriously thoughtful interesting remarks then DUMB ASS from the shallows comes up with his STUPID REMARK like - "maybe the Grays are Bigfoot's uncles" or something else just as freaking stupid!
Everybody on this planet and probably well beyond knows that George Noory SUCKS so why don't the Coast To Coast players just grab him by his hair and run the jackass right out through the front window?
Probably something to do with a contract agreement or maybe Art Bell has the jerk there so the show doesn't get more popular - "good thinking Art".
The only reason I turn Coast To Coast on anymore is to find out if somebody other than Mr. Freak Show Noory happens to be running the show but even that's a trap of sorts so now I mostly rely on finding who the host is from the Coast to Coast web site - so I don't have to listen to a single word from the imbecile - it's got so bad that I can't even stand the sound of his yap-yap-yap-yap- yap- yap -yap never says anything interesting bark-bark-bark-bark-bark-bark-bark Mars Attacks voice!
Go Eat Scat Noory - You Totally SUCK! -bark-bark-bark-bark - - - JUST LEAVE!

I really hope that somehow one of the producers for Coast To Coast will figure out that Coast is really tanking as far as quality goes.
What used to be a great show under Art Bell has turned into a forum for George Noory's ineptitude, inane comments and phony sounding voice.
Noory truely is the George W. Bush of talk radio.
Reply to this
Here's the text of an e-mail I sent to Noory in Feb. 'o6, under the subject "Replace George Noory." Someone replied in GN's name citing high audience stats. Go figure:
The smartest talk-radio listeners in the world used to tune in Coast To Coast AM. (Just look at the literate quality of the lowest ratings on RateItAll.) So, why does the show have the world's dumbest host?
OK...Art Bell is a once-in-a-generation genius; he'll never be equaled. But George doesn't even come close! Here are some reasons: George asks his brilliant guests dull questions that often sound like non sequiturs: "Do you believe it's the anichrist?" He uses 'yes-no' closed-end questions that show his failure of imagination to penetrate and reveal an expert's depth of knowledge. Finally, George frequently shifts the guest out of the spotlight and takes his place; the substitution is a bad deal for listeners, many of whom give up a night's sleep for a few hours of Coast. Want proof? George uses a recurring phrase, "I've always believed...". Now the topic is not about the guest, it's about the host! (By the way, whether George has "always" believed anything doesn't matter. Who cares?)
Judging from the lowest RateItAll ratings for George, smart Coast listeners build up a sleep surplus during the week so they can stay up on the weekend and hear Art Bell. Just the sound of that rumbling baritone promises a rewarding trade-off. On the other hand, if you read the highest ratings, you'll see further evidence of the dumbing down of Coast's weekday audience.
Look, as a Coast listener, if all you've ever known is George Noory, he might sound OK because you don't know what you missed. For us veterans, however, the Coast well has run dry and we miss the water!

Thanks, Alan. It's good to see Noory's fans finally decided to come out and defend him. Oh...wait a minute...it's months later and no--that STILL HASN'T HAPPENED.
Very odd.

THANK GOD FOR THIS THREAD! I thought it was me. I quit listening to C2C for the reasons listed above. I do turn it on occasionally to see if there is a guest on that will be interesting enough to lead me to endure George. I really like Ian and listen to his shows on weekends. I missed your interview but that's no surprise since it was a George night.

Many hours ago, as I was listening to some fairly recent podcasts of coast to coast, I started typing Noory into my Google search bar, at the top of my browser. I'm not even sure now, what I was even trying look up at the time. Anyway, the Google suggestions just happen to kick in, and of course one of the top ones is "Noory Sucks".
I thought to myself, "He sure does, let's see why everyone else thinks so." So I hit enter and found the god like productions link. Around 21 pages in, and many hours of reading later, I run into the link for your website. Where I find, and read your story about Noory.
I do kind of remember listening to that in the past. Sounds like you were a victim of that damned "floating format". I can hardly stand listening to him for his middle 2 hours (that are usually less than 80 minutes, via streamlink).
I had actually stopped listening to him not long after that for many months, for how he was treating his callers. Even sent him a fastblast telling him, that he should be ashamed. I'd listen to the other hosts. Then recently, and streamlink autorenewing on me. I figured I better try to listen to some of his crap. Maybe there'd be some kind of info I could salvage from his shows.
If he asks you on again, please tell him you want Ian. Anyway, good luck with what you do.

Oooooh I wouldn't worry about him asking me on again. I think hell might freeze over first.

Is it just me or does George let opportunities for great questions go right by? I'll be driving and the guest claims something incredible and I'll shout out loud "Ask about.....!" .....SIGH..... What do I hear? Another lame general comment or question that was said in different verbage earlier. He won't stand up to and challenge his guests either. He agrees with everybody adding "Exactly", "Right" or "I was about to say..." as if he knows 10% of what the guest does. And what's with George himself doing so many commercials? Just because you're hearing his voice on a commercial doesn't mean it's part of the show, as they seem to think this eases the 15 minute breaks at the top and bottom of each hour. And then just to come back to the show at 37 past the hour so they can go back to another GN commericial for Tahiti Village, gold investing, or so we can hear that irritating guy saying "fixmyouse.servicemagic.com" 9 times on XM radio. AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! Oh, and why does GN rush a guest off as the break approcahes, only to play 60 seconds of bumper music I hate? Give that minute to the guests! We need more meat and less fat. Trim this show down! Start with the host!

Hello,
I have had to shake my head and say "what on earth!" "Many Times" when listening to George Noory.
I had held in a "Very Unique" one of a kind shadow person story for over 35 years.I made arraignments through the producers to call in and at last tell the story to the Coast 2 Coast listeners.
"Every" one of my friends and family was tuned in.George could not grasp a small point I was making about goose bumps in the very beginning of my story and cut me off.
The next caller had been drinking, (this was obvious),and George let him go on and on.That drunk caller was given
"a lot" of air time,to the point where there were awkward silences,an honest waste of the listeners time.
I was "very embarrassed" as all of my friends and family were listening.
The following day one of my friends,a policeman who often works nights,said
"don't worry about it,George Noory is a real dumb ass"
I had noticed he was not the sharpest tool in the shed,but had never heard anyone say it out loud.
My story remains un-told.
I wish there was another radio program with similar subject matter as I would like to tell this story before I pass away.
The way I was treated as a caller is one thing,the way you were treated as a guest is unforgivable.
I feel your pain.
