The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

From the land of sky blue waters... Comes the taste that refreshes. Hell of a marketing campaign.

Oddly enough they sell Hamm's in the HEB stores here, wait for it.... but only the stores in the 'nice' neighborhoods? Not in other parts of town. Why? I don't know. It is weird. Older customers who remember the jingle? But only found in the rich area of town stores. Others, no, at least that I've seen. Same deal with Schlitz in Houston. Find it in stores on Memorial Parkway but not in stores elsewhere. 
ps: another interesting tidbit:
"William Hamm, Jr. was kidnapped in Saint Paul by the Barker-Karpis Gang in the 1930s. The subsequent investigation by the FBI employed the first attempt at raising latent fingerprints from paper ransom notes"

Cool, I don't drink, so I've never noticed, but as a kid in Chicago I believe they advertised on both the Cubs and Blackhawks on WGN.

Do they still make Old Style?

Yes they do
Old Milwaukee was just on sale here @ $8.46 for a 30 box too (Hunter's special) That's cheap.
Most 30 packs are$14.00 - $19.00

It goes in phases. I like cheap beer sometimes and I'm in good company--though not when hipsters take up the brand! (Interestingly a lot of the regional, or traditional, cheap beers have been often bought up and produced under license by various entities; not at the local breweries. Oly, Rainer, Lonestar, PBR, Falstaff, Hamm's, Pearl, Old Bohemian, Stagg, Old Style, etc.)
Remember this bear? Rainer should've used in a marketing campaign but didn't, oddly?

(One WOULDA thunk the bear would've gone for a Hamm's?  )

36 ??
That bear was a light-weight pussy.
Figures. It was a Washington bear. Probably used to 3.2 beer.
No self respecting Wisconsin bear would pass out on a measly 36 cans.

Hipsters drink Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Shit.  We used to drink that in Little League.  Under the bleachers.  Before practice.

Holy shit! I wish we had that deal down here. Especially because the Swedish bikini team parachutes down into your deer blind when you are drinking OM. Our hunter specials approach nothing to that price point, even for the 'hunter edition' cans of Lonestar Busch, etc. The only OM I see on the shelves here is the non-alcoholic kind- which I've always speculated about. Why does this product exist? So the recovering drunk can taste the swill and remind himself not to drink? Some kind of aversion therapy?

Tros, thanks for posting what is on tonight's show (Nov 23). I've gone from downloading a lot of RCH's shows at first to just about none of them for the last several weeks (and I think I'll be deleting unheard the Morningstar one if I downloaded it -- can't recall -- it's on other computer). Bell, too has had a lot of --IMO-- duds lately, but fewer. So if RCH doesn't make a better effort by the 30th, I'm unlikely to renew. Maybe that's why it takes until nearly show time to announce guests -- maybe RCH only needs 8 minutes of show prep rather than GN's 8 (wasted) hours. Announce late in the day and it will be too late for subscribers to cancel!

It's not like I've been sitting back complaining about his shows. I wrote to him early last week -- and he replied! Briefly. I had plenty of suggestions of topics I'd like to see him cover. Maybe I shouldn't have said "Rense is the only one who covers these things at this time..." Maybe I made RCH jealous (though they are on at different times, they are both broadcast via the internet, and Rense is an angry vegan while RCH... isn't, I guess).

Maybe RCH is uninterested in the extinction-level events I suggest he cover. I wish I had here emailed excuse for not doing so, something about wanting to be scientific. I think I replied that I didn't want anything about Niburu or UFO driving evil bigfeet with fricken lasers on their heads (or I should have put it that way), I want to know more about Fukushima, Hanford, what's happening outside St. Louis, and that kind of thing. (Actually, I read enenews.com, so I know a lot, but his listeners may not know a thing!)  Shouldn't somebody with a national radio show -- other than Jeff Rense, I mean -- be talking about it and have knowledgeable guests (who don't poo-poo it like Obama and Big Energy and Big Bankers do)? Maybe Bell will talk about it with Micho Kaku tonight, as Kaku has in the past voiced great concern about Fukushima... and maybe RCH is just too old to worry about it. I mean, he's six years older than me, fer gawd's sake! That's ancient!

Oh, well, I'll save $5 a month and search YouTube for the latest from Radchick.

i really thing RCH's issue is he cant get any one but his friends cause either everyone that is "legit" is onto his crap or word got around about how he treated his first producer or..Scott just sucks as a producer and cant get any one or RCH is just letting his ego run the show and only wants people that agree with him

as for Art...its not a fault of his or the producer..some of the guests just havent been overly interesting or would be better in a format where you re seeing pictures or video..and the doom and gloom gets a lil tired after a while..tonight should be interesting but MK i am a lil..wary of .l.like NGT he is a lil too pop science lately

[expat]

Don't forget, folks --- in the sweepstakes for "death of this show" I've got Wednesday as the last non-repeat.

Never figured you for an optimist

[Auslandia]

His show with the Giza power plant guy was alright.  Chris Dunn or something?  Anyway it was pretty good and that's coming from someone who's done a fair share of bitching about RCH.  The only weird part was his ISIS comment.  He said it at the end of the show too.  I mean, I don't think any of its members call it that.  It's just one of a couple of acronyms for the English translation of some Arabic stuff.  I'm not sure why he was talking about them usurping the Egyptian Isis.  Anyway it was an alright show

[Ciardelo]

He's looking very foolish (er?) by continuing his attempts to link the Goddess Isis with the modern English translation of an Arabic title. Equally foolish is his assertions that Paris was named for Isis. I guess he's gone "all in" on it and we know he can't back down but I wish he would just let that shit die.

He fancies himself as the educator of the Millennials but we can quickly fact-check his erroneous statements. That's a far cry from seeing condos on Mars, we can't quickly (as yet) fact-check that.  He needs to stick with telling us how phones worked before the internet.

What he doesn't seem to understand is that millenials aren't listening.  And they'll fact check his ass before they ever decide to listen which will never come to pass after they fact check his ass lol.

Ha! Yeah, when yer right, yer right. He must have some one fan that wrote in praising him though as many times as he's mentioned it. You know last show he actually said "the audience doesn't know anything." He needs to work on his phrasing the pompous ass.

[Auslandia]

We're all armchair critics and it does take balls to put your ideas out there...even if they're dumb ones.

I must admit wondering about the ISIS stuff before I heard Clyde Lewis (and then years later RCH) mention it. But I love the British Museum and various old religions/cults stuff. I don't think there is a 'connection/conspiracy' but find it interesting. Also how RCH is seizing on it.

Um wasn't that supposed to be like at most once a week?  Show's kinda feeling like a guy with a microphone wandering through a bus station.

[Morgus]

Last week's open lines changed when a last minute guest was added.
Other open lines nights were taken over by Scott the producer talking a lot.
The one totally open lines night recently was the one with lots of prank calls, wonder if Hoagie will allow that ever again?
