George Noory explained on Coast to Coast last night (yes, I get Streamlink. Shoot me now) that he has NOT invited Sylvia Browne back since she screwed up the Sago mine disaster. He said he was nearly in tears at the news that they were all dead except one, he had to announce it, AND THEN, he had Sylvia there, who had JUST GIVEN a bad prediction that they would all be alive as well. He said he just thinks she is fake, and if he ever does have her on again, he will take her to task on that and on the Missouri boy who was supposed to be dead but is very much alive. He said he probably will not have her back on, though.
 
It's not like that was the only evidence, George is quite late to the party!
 
Well, better late than never. I believe this show was in January of 2006. I remember listening to it and thinking, "She really screwed up, live"...after getting over the shock that the miners were dead.

George Noory, really and truly, seems to be an ethical guy. Woo woo, yeah, but not in it for evil. He seems sincere. So I take it as a good sign that he wants to distance himself from Browne.

It is not the only evidence, but it is strong, simple, and unequivocal evidence of Sylvia being a chalatan and a fraud who is always ready to prey on the emotionally troubled and uneducated. She tries to wriggle out of accusations that she is making things up, but this instance is so clear and damning that there is no rationalization that can account for it.
 
You just don't appreciate the marvel that is Sylvia. The amazing thing is that a bulldog in a bad wig can make predictions at all, it's not about whether they come out true. How do they give her the appearance of speaking? I heard if you put peanut butter on the roof of their mouths they'll look like they're talking.

Unless you can stay up all night in an environment where you can listen one has to get access to the Woo so we can keep up on it. I'll be able to start listening more often next week, but I wasn't aware of this rift so you provided me a service. :)

Coast to Coast can have Ed Dames, Cryptozoologists, crazy callers and all that, but I really do wish they'd sever ties immediately with people who are preying on the weak, not just the weak minded.

It is on the Wednesday night show, in the first hour. It was a decent first hour, actually. He talked to someone about Michael Vick taking an 8 hour "Be kind to animals" class and then has a call in about Browne at some point. I admit to half-listening until then. There is another psychic sort he has also broken ties with, but I didn't recognize the name. I DO believe that Noory does not wish to prey on people, and has some ethical base. Most of what he talks about is just silliness anyway, and no one is harmed. (Meaning he isn't hawking anything or selling potions, etc.) Thanks for not shooting me over the Streamlink. It drives my husband nuts..."How can you listen to that??"
 
I wonder how she attends to personal maintenance in spite of those claws?

Maybe she has some sort of body servant?

Now, there's a job.

She has a team of groomers who clip her fur, clean the mites out of her ears, and give her a flea dip once a week. If she is a good girl for the process, she earns a Snausage.

Someone's going to have to get a lot more personal at once or twice a day (think 'throne').

Ick.

Ewwwwwww.....that's a disturbing image.:eye-poppi I don't think she would appear on Noory's show again anyway, being proven to be wrong on the air probably gave her heart worms, if she has one.

I do not think THAT is a major issue. Plenty of females have long finger nails (either real or fake). They do not have enough money to employ someone to do this job for them.

Me too. I think he's a melange of woo lite and a guy hosting a radio show. To put it most succintly, these crazy ideas and folks are out there and if they don't get some sort of public voice they'll go underground and harder for us skeptics to keep track of. At least on Coast to Coast we have it concentrated and from one source. And while I think Art is a little more cynically woo (no that wasn't dissonance) I still really enjoy hearing him when he's back on weekends.

I don't foray into "enemy" territory like I used to but that's the best way to familiarize yourself with what their claiming and to counter it. These days I mostly do it with Creationists and to a lesser extent Conservative media but I like to keep up with the paranormalist woo so being able to listen to C2C again will make me happy.

If you don't mind a request, when you hear anything that warrents discussion here, could you post it to this thread? Of course if something warrents a new thread start it, but this would be a nice dish and discuss home base.
 
Well this is really too disgusting to be explained, but as people keep talking about it, you simply get a lot of extra TP and roll it into a ball. You clutch one end of the ball with the pads of your fingers.
