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

[Morgus]

I dub last night's show: "OSOM II - The Wrath of BellGab"

Not bad, but you can't discount the 4chan soundboards. Hoaxland likes to go onandon about us Bellgabbers, but the circle of disdain for RCH spans many forums and Twitter hashtags.

[coaster]

That's OK coaster, I'll graciously accept your ifpology. It's the second-best ifpology I've heard today. 

Hey, at least someone got it. I was trying to pull a Hoagland.

I remember when you coined that phrase.

The big Dick was never comfortable taking phone calls in the first place.

He should just do a prerecorded show and then stream it.  What kind of intelligent calls does he really think he will get in his time slot?

Of course when he decides to that, it will be totally his idea.

The kind that have extensive knowledge of the torsion field and hyperdimensional physics?

[Morgus]

Near the end of last night's show, Hoagland mentioned the model number of his (and possibly Art's) headset:
I found it on Amazon for $199, its a Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset with Dynamic Boom Mic:

Is that a wind screen or a pop filter?

I'm a little over an hour into the Club 19.5 archive. Seems to be edited with the Art Bell references taken out except when Hoaxland talked about how Art asked him to follow him on DM. I didn't hear the thing about how Bellgab has all the archives either but maybe I missed it. Surprisingly, no "mega dildos" seem to remain in the official archive--I thought perhaps they might stay in since Dick thanked the caller for them. For a man so interested in "full disclosure" it seems the rules are different when it comes to his show.

Bwah!  I forgot about the "mega dildos"!  And RCH kept saying "thank you" -- didn't he? 

[Morgus]

Who was one of the last callers last night, Patricia who complained to Hoagie about his "useless eaters" statement from last week?
Is she a bellgabber?

[GravitySucks]

The kind that have extensive knowledge of the torsion field and hyperdimensional physics?

Yeah, both of them.

I have a hunch it was, but won't suggest it in order to preserve the anonymity of the Bellgabber.  Then again I could be completely wrong.

Ha! Those crazy 4chan kids! Hoaxland had to dump sooo many calls last night. He was even being dickish to legit callers. One guy called about zero point energy and Hoaxland still was a dick to him because he was so rattled.

No one wants to be made a fool of, and Dick was on high fool alert.

I doubt he got the message.

The ifpology was pathetic, but maybe it is truly the best he can do. I don't know how much longer I can hang on hoping he'll be the Dick Cavette type we've seen him do. Last night he was stripped of much of his pretense and preening. His lashes out to Bellgab while funny were really kind of sad. it wasn't only Bellgabbers trolling him--I don't think he knows that.

A pre-recorded, controlled and edited show might be all that's left for him given his skill-set. He doesn't have the temperament or integrity to remain consistent on a live show. He can't keep his stories straight and has a pathetic tendency to try to get the "upper hand" even in a casual conversation. An edited show would perhaps reduce the less attractive aspects of his interview "style."

[FLLFlash]

Here ya go.

If you can follow instructions you're all set. If you can't follow instructions borrow the neighbor's 8 year old.

[Faustina]

He complained that now he's having to pay $1000/mo for bandwidth, and that people who fall asleep leaving their devices connected are "useless eaters" stealing his bandwidth. Those of us in this forum with a little tech savvy doubt very much that the bandwidth is being metered that closely -- it's more likely a fixed fee, so his point is nonsense anyway.

He referred to bellgab as "the peanut gallery" and generally dissed us.

Whew!  Man.  Smdh....  Probably not a great idea, to disrespect your listeners.

[Ciardelo]

Speaking of live shows. I would pay $5 a month to join "Dark City Denizens" Come on bateman, we need more bateman!

i think most of us are sticking around for the inevitable implosion or his return to Dick Cavett mode...meanwhile

I've been thinking about doing just that.

The only reason I am still around is our group. I wish we would've found something else honestly.

i looked..from what i can see there is nothing else live at that hour..or even replayed from earlier in the day that would interest the majority of us

[astroguy]

FLLFlash posted some DL instructions, if anyone's interested you can PM me for my version.  Audio only cut out once for just under 15 seconds at 22:45 which was the transition between callers so you don't miss much.  Otherwise no stream issues.

I'm betting on the inevitable implosion...which we are listening to nightly.

His return to Dick Cavett mode...meanwhile...would require sincere apologies to Rossy and the core Bellgab fanclub...SINCERE being the key word...and we know that ain't gonna happen.

Whom the gods would destroy...they make narcissistically egotistical.

By the way...that music video was kick-ass

[Mild Bill]

Those that tried got cut off quick. He even lied about his own book to cut someone off. The only one who didn't get cut off was the caller named Patricia at the end of the show.

If you couldn't have fun with last nights show you might not have a soul. Do people really always expect a 100% serious show from a guy who interviews Dumbledore cosplayers and thinks there is an ocean liner on Mars? Thinks that Star Wars is a true story? It's a show that airs at 3 AM for a lot of people.

This thread is a nonsensical farce. We have running jokes about Shay being a gimp, me being a Sith Lord (this one is obviously true though!), Trostol loving an awful song, Barfly's nakedness and hookers, LISA, Ace Frehley, Rick Steves, my Birthday, MMMM and so on. I mean Braaps was a thing as was  a telephone ringing at the start of the show!

So, honestly, people outside the group who come in to whine at us I just feel sorry for. Let your hair down and have fun for once in your life.

When Rossy was scheduling interesting guests...Hoaxland was in Dick Cavett mode...and the regulars were groovin'...this thread was more than fun...it was a joy to be a part of! 

[FLLFlash]

Well if you do check it out, let us know.

I braved out exploring the PM spam from last night and it was nothing more than an invitation to join another forum that follows Art and a few other somewhat related things. Very little activity - puny compared to bellgab. I have no idea what a "contributor status" amounts to. I suspect not a lot.

mrQ's account here was set up just to spam us. No forum posts have ever been made by that user.

It appears safe. I'm going to pass. Were they to offer me "Benevolent Dictator" status I might reconsider.
