What happened to banning the bastard?

Hey there asto. Are you about to resume some shows?

Hoping for September 01.  I have been out of town pretty much literally one out of every 4 days this summer, and my usual busy with work.

For those newbies who are unfamiliar with the Accutron, here's a briefing on the fatal shortsomings of Hoagland's thinking.

What, not citing my lengthy trestise?  I’m hurt!

Do you mean when he was on KGRA and his "Game changer network"? I agree though, the same bumpers every night, the goofy gimmicks and mostly "questionable" guests that are all out to sell something. Plus his own homebrewed scams like the UFO door on Mt. Adams at ECETI all delivered from his overgrown FM Jock personality.  I've nicknamed him "Greasy Jimmy."

Paranormal and UFO talk radio is basically dead. I listen more for specific guests and the host and network is an afterthought.

Don’t forget the Malibu Underwater Base!

Yeah, this is a rerun, after 5+ minutes of music.

Every time Keith breathes, I think he's going to have a heart attack.

On purpose?

btw loved your series of podcasts on Hale Bop. Listened to it several times. Hope that makes up for the snark

Thanks.

Thought it was gypsies tramps and thieves.

I was literally just listening to some Cher during the break.

The image of the planet Mars is screwed up. Olympus Mons looks like a crater not a volcano. The light and shadows are not correct. They don't match the direction of of light hitting the planet. Weird.

Common problem in any digital terrain model rendering, or how you present data in a paper.  Sun should be coming from 315°, such that highlights are NW and shadows are SE for maximum understanding by the most people.

Apparently it would seem Hoagland was right again... It was a scam letter to try to pilfer his systematic research , there's considerable certainty they were anticipating to run down to the nearest university and claim it for their own if they found anything meritorious... your just upset Hoagland saw through the scam...

This demonstrates you have no idea how academic research works nor standards in any reputable research environment.

I just unmuted, sounds like he's live.

Have a funnel cake and a soft pretzel for me.  Oh yeah, and an Italian ice.  Maybe some fresh cut fries.  And an assortment of sandwiches.  That should do it.  Plus have fun!   

The sister"-in-law" is against all that.  We're packing lunches.  Though I'm allowed on Tuesday to make soft pretzels with the "nephew" since we'll have a few hours downtime and I figure the shaping would be something he'll enjoy.

Okay, setting my recorder for 5 hours, going to bed.  Going to an amusement park with "in-laws" (quotes because I'm not actually married) tomorrow, including an 8-year-old "nephew."  Gonna take a lot of energy.

Thanks!  Uncle Hoagie not a complete nut.

Even complete nuts can have brief moments of lucidity.

I was asked whether what Richard claimed about crater-based model ages is correct, and technically it is:  We assume a model chronology (# craters per time) and base ages on counts versus that chronology.  The chronology is based on radiometric dates from Apollo samples.  If the cratering rate is significantly different within the asteroid belt or on another body in the solar system, then the moon-based model would not apply, and the ages would be wrong.  This is why in published work the ages should always be stated as "model ages" because they require that chronology model.

In astrophysics, this is done, too, such that people will refer to the z-shift (redshift) of a distant object and then use a model for the expansion of the universe to give the physical distance.  We do the same thing in craters, reporting the crater spatial density and then the model-based age.

Of course, Richard would like to change things by factors of millions or billions with crater-based ages, which is incredibly unlikely given what we know about things in the solar system.

LOL! Just finished practicing my talk, unmuted the stream, and "yes, we need money."  : :

Damn, just checked the ComicCon schedule, there's someone in the room before me.  Meaning I won't get extra time to setup and test equipment. Grrrr.

Crater boy!  The lady last night was questioning crater dating and would love to have had your instant rebuttal.

Hey -- if you know someone with the audio and can hook me up, I'll provide that rebuttal forthwith.

This is really boring. I'm working on my talk for ComicCon instead.

Okay, if he's live, is it the guy talking about launching his own satellite?  Or am I listening to a wrong stream again?

Glad it's a rerun, I'll actually be able to get the audio since I'm babysitting it for at least another hour.

Am I listening to a wrong stream?  All I hear is muzak?

Can someone direct me to a stream of the show that is decent?  The kiyq.org player keeps hiccuping which destroys my recording of the program after I go to sleep and can't babysit it.

That in mind ... anyone happen to record last night's, and last weekend's they want to share?

I drifted in and out as usual, but it sounded like half of his theories came from interpreting his own dreams.  I often have weird dreams myself so perhaps I should get in on this cottage industry.

Make sure you have some special Colorado-style brownies first.

Dear sweet bullshit of craziness, Batman!  I've listened to a mere 10 minutes of Wilcock from last night and it's just idiocy.  Nothing he says makes any sense whatsoever.

More like the dude you got to deal with- after the big-haired lady loudly chewing gum at the desk on the phone with her friends gossiping who finally acknowledges you and accepts your payment- when you got your truck towed because the fucking city or establishment really WANTS you to drive home after a few beers and that lost revenue from a DWI they try to get back on the back-end.

Not that you're speaking from experience here ...

I usually do that after a night of pub crawling and I spot an unsuspecting woman.

I was in drag that night and did not appreciate it.

Richard, only you are the ones who seek out interviews, popping out of dark alleys saying "I'm here!!"

Listening in after working out (yes, time for this guy to get in a non-round shape).  Hoagland has been saying "this is the year of disclosure" for literally 17+ years.  Stephen Basset, pretty much the same.  Each for different reasons, each are equally unbelievable.

Damn!  Missed the first half.  Anyone recording?
