High Noon with George Hook.

JJayoo · 07-12-2016 01:15PM

George knows how to work the system, has it in his contract that he receives a % of every 30cent message that people send in.

Talk sh1te = more txts= more monies for Mr Hook

Ah he is a serious pro... His comments yesterday on cycling, 30 km/h speed limits, Eric Bristow, tagging criminals etc were all clear as day intended to generate controversy or appeal to the masses. Either way people are going to text in to the show.

All for 30c a pop

Newstalk seem to have gone the outrage route in the new shake up. It would be funny if George was on commission for every outraged post or text/tweet recorded:D

like I said, who stands to profit from the 30c it costs the sender of each outraged text???

George on about Parliament privilege. Has taken him a while to come to Denis's defence. Seems like they were rehearsing a big piece about the abuses of said privilege. I came in late to this and havent heard them mention the O'Brien case yet. The lack of mention of his case seems very deliberate

Vorenus400 · 09-12-2016 01:39PM

I feel bad for the poor dietician on now. Not a thing of what she is saying is getting through to George. He read/heard somewhere that bread was bad for you therefore 'all' scientists say bread is bad. She is blue in the face talking bout non scientists making bogus claims in newspapers but George isnt understanding a word of it

It's one of the staples of tabloid journalism.

"A recent study said..."

It's up there with "A source close to XXXXXXX said...."

Birneybau · 14-12-2016 01:47PM

I'd love to have whatever the book woman is on, sounds likes she's constantly on the brink of laughter.

"Hits the high notes" ? Lead item is on standing up for the national anthem :pac:

Turned off after five minutes today. Couldn't be arsed struggling through his stream of consciousness rambling that's based on a cursory scan of random headlines.

evolving_doors · 16-12-2016 06:38PM

Is there any alternative programme at the same time?

George ain't that bad, he speaks his mind, admits his bias and isn't afraid to change his mind!

I think you must have slept it out and tuned in to D'Arcy at 3pm?

Grolschevik · 09-01-2017 01:59PM

He just said that they'd have to fumigate the studio after Richard Boyd Barrett was in...

A Shaved Duck? · 09-01-2017 02:06PM

Hook still lording it over people with his lucky guess that trump would win..

Vorenus400 · 09-01-2017 02:14PM

Hooks new line is that we shouldnt criticise the democratically elected Trump. he then proceeds to call Obama a coward. Serious amount of double think needed to listen to george

George has been criticizing Obama since 2009 because he didn't like Obama's inauguration speech. In recent years he has been referring to Obama as the worst US president in american history. Now, according to George, no one outside the US can criticize Trump because he was democratically elected and should just butt out. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

It's the way that he spouts utter bile & then pretends to be friendly uncle George with some of the guests. I find it incredible that people are so willing to accept what he says. He is like Trump & he now, like a lot of America, just dismisses all the abhorrent things that Trump said.

A chip off the auld Vincent Browne method of broadcasting?

Not something I like or would listen to/watch.

Does George still discuss his knob and bollocks issues in excruciating levels of detail?

Makes a change from his itchy scrotum.

Funny how he didn't mention his opinion of Obama during his interview with the American Ambassador.

Vorenus400 · 10-01-2017 02:24PM

He is as bad as some of the 2fm djs always banging on about twitter. He always insists that he gets lots of abuse on twitter but I cant find it usually. the only time a few people mentioned him was on his anti cervical cancer vaccine period. The show is designed to get people angry and outraged but even this page on boards has very little traffic. It reminds me of some of those crappy articles in the indo or the sun where they report on tweets or pad out a piece by giving the twitter reaction.

Discodog · 11-01-2017 12:01AM

Just in case people think that I was exaggerating he did discuss his prostrate problem on air with the doctor. He questioned why incontinence products, like the one's available for women, weren't available for men. He said that he would use such products for his "leakage" problems.

Discodog · 11-01-2017 02:38PM

I think that someone has had a word in his ear. He's just covered Obama, Apollo House & Muslims without going on a rant.

foxtrot101 · 11-01-2017 11:28PM

I enjoyed the John Simpson interview. George was desperately trying to get Simpson to agree with him on anything about Trump, but was resisted at every turn. The only thing he managed was a half-hearted concession that if there was another 9-11 type attack, Trump's reaction to it might boost his approval ratings. That's something to look forward to:rolleyes:.

Basically Simpson thinks Trump is going to be hopeless, which left George sounding very deflated at the end.

High Noon with George Hook.
