David Jacobs? back so soon?
I hope its a mistake. Jacobs is crazy and completely unbelievable. Don't quite understand why he gets so much apparent respect and homage by Art.

Yes. Jethro Tull & ELP also.

I still listen, I have hope. dwindling hope but hope nonetheless. Hoaxland can be a hoot, we all know right?
right?

A person can receive 99 positive comments about themselves, yet they will always remember the 1 negative comment.
I enjoy Art. I have no reason to disbelieve him. I allow him the benefit of the doubt regarding his claims. However, nothing OBLIGATES myself, or anyone else to agree with him if they choose not to do so. I sincerely hope Art would agree.
***DISCLAIMER*** - Slander and/or liable, obviously, is not a behavior I am endorsing.

I don't think he realized when he made that commercial that calling Hoaxland a personal friend would not be a plus.
Quote from: TigerLily on November 20, 2015, 03:18:16 PM
I've never listened to him but he seems to have a strong following. Is he paranormal, etc? If so, I vote for Hughes taped or Bateman live
Quote from: SredniVashtar on November 18, 2015, 02:18:07 PMNot to mention his self assured know it all dismissal of people that dont agree with him. That lady that called in about Travis Walton is a case in point. She made good points, Art couldnt or didnt want to comprehend what she said. I did, she was clear as a bell on Walton. I suppose it comes with age. I shouldnt be so harsh because I do the same thing. It is just a different Art Bell this time around, some better, some worse. I still love him though.
I don't remember Art's audio obsession as being quite so bad back in the day. He used to grumble about crappy cellphones now and again, but it has become a tic with him now, cutting off callers quite ruthlessly if there is even a fairly small glitch on the line. Perhaps it's my imagination, but whenever I hear a caller on Skype it will almost certainly be a bad call, with the caller droning on about nothing for too long and Art not cutting them off fast enough, seemingly because he just likes the quality of the audio. There's some east coast type who keeps getting on, and I haven't heard him make one decent point yet. Perhaps the callers were always pretty useless, but it seems to have got worse on the new show.
Quote from: Demontooth on November 18, 2015, 12:00:33 PMOnly ground to a halt because an issue was made of it. Makes me wonder how Art survives on 75 meter ssb
It brought the show to a grinding halt. Skype calls usually do too. I'd ditch it for listeners.
Quote from: jazmunda on November 16, 2015, 06:05:28 PMOh, the double reverse, wink/nod thing. hmm
I think MichaelfromVA, and correct me if I'm wrong MVA, meant that it was bizarre because it wasn't bizarre.
Quote from: MichaelFromVA on November 16, 2015, 04:46:37 PMBizarre, seriously? I think its a great idea. Jacobs was bizarre, bordering on stupid. A professional cave diver is anything but bizarre.
That's a bizarre guest. I wonder why Art chose her. Hmm...will have to listen and see how he works his magic with her.

Here's one that gets me every time he mentions it…
I love how everyone asks him if he's seen this or read this or heard this etc. nearly every time, his answer sound something like "I just don't have the time because the show is taking up all of my time etc. "
That answer always confounds me. How in the fuck can a two hour show about nothing most nights take up all of his waking hours? I guess there is certainly some preparation or behind the scenes planning going on but Jesus fucking Christ the show isn't produced well enough to demand that kind of time from someone. I work in an extremely high stress environment. You'll just have to take my word for it but I'm used to juggling about 20 projects simultaneously as well as a family and I still have time to watch porn and post bullshit on this website . Richard claiming that he doesn't have any time for anything except for this lackluster podcast is an insult to people who work .
Quote from: malachi.martini on November 09, 2015, 05:40:59 PMExcellent point. He is an asshole. He can't seem to help himself, him and his broke ass accutron watch. How can anyone make a career from a broken watch? I honestly feel sorry for him, and his physics.... whatever the hell that is. I listened to the show where he was going to explain it, didn't happen.
If Hoagland puts on good show, how much does it really matter if he's an asshole?
Quote from: Auslandia on November 04, 2015, 06:23:03 AMYes, I agree. Appears to be his Achilles heel. His own overblown opinion of himself wont allow for the possibility that he is hallucinating when he sees structures in rock piles. I wonder about the other guys that are going along with all this. At some point you would think sanity would take hold.
I've been flip flopping around the idea that he's actually intelligent (past interviews prove it) but he now has to maintain this Mars crap because it was his bread & butter for so long. Even if that is true, it's pretty reprehensible.
Quote from: trostol on November 04, 2015, 03:53:13 AMBasically anyone with a functional brain would riot against Hoagland. It is too bad really. I have always hated him, but then got sucked into listeining to him. Shockingly, he has done a few decent interviews, but..... his arrogance and his constant pull of "the physics" out of his torsion field ass is beyond sickening.
has to be more then just us at Bellgab that has rioted against him

Wow, I'm surprised a (mostly) intelligent bunch like this one keeps beating on Leo. Not that he doesn't deserve some of it. But calling the guy mentally ill and listing all his symptoms, based solely on some internet posts, is a hasty generalization. On top of that the incessant chant of "the guy doesn't know how to pronounce anything" is a bit of a stretch. Really not fact but personal opinions of liking his delivery style or not. IMO a Toemato vs. Tamato argument.
In short the hyperbole is way over the top. (But isn't it always that way on Bellgab?) Art has clarified his point of view succinctly so there are no misunderstandings. Therefore I vote on moving the conversation along to something more constructive.
Speaking of which Art, how about Rich Little as the news guy?
Quote from: norland2424 on October 04, 2015, 05:47:25 AMGlad Leo is gone. The man couldnt pronounce common words correctly. He belongs on a second rate show like C2C, where mediocrity is celebrated.
You need to catch up, he has ranted that Art has ripped him off and alot of other stupid shit.
Quote from: Scully on October 02, 2015, 03:52:57 AM
Reading back a few pages, I see proof positive that there are different strokes for different folks. I loved tonight's show!
Boy, you guys are hard to please. Wait til Art gets enough of the constant criticism and throws in the towel. That's when there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. :
Quote from: b_dubb on September 24, 2015, 09:17:44 AMI am not responding past this. You apparently cant read.
Disease. Ignorant. Please explain how it was that you came to be the sole arbiter of truth and wisdom? Did you respond to an ad on Craigslist? Mail in a coupon from a box of cereal?
Quote from: b_dubb on September 23, 2015, 09:09:17 PM
Disease? Interesting word choice.
Every NDE I've read through include details that clearly indicate a dream reality. Streets of gold. Angelic beings. The caller who said Jesus and her Grandpa were trying to send her back to her body. These are obvious components of a dream state.
Quote from: b_dubb on September 23, 2015, 08:45:26 AMSeriously, that's all you got? What alternative explanation....oh, wait, you mean the one that has already been thouroughly studied and debunked? All combiinations of anesthetics, causes of trauma, etc have no correlation with NDE.
You're the one getting emotional. I offered an alternate explanation. Believe what you want.
