Hoagie's awesome, the batshit crazier he and his guests get the better, it is like tuning into Dick Cavett on PBS in the 70s while on acid.
There's nothing a guest could bring to the show that Hoagie won't get totally behind because he has the unique ability to make anything part of 'the model!' There are no bounds to his beliefs, he has a 'science' of his own invention that makes everything that exists, has existed, everything that happens, has happened evidence of or a result of his crazy Theory of Everything.
Tonight I've learned the Statue of Liberty often called 'Lady Liberty', is a cross dressing man, Midras, an ancient Persian god who became the subject of a major cult around the Middle East, Mediterranean and Roman Empire. Somehow Hoagie and his guest are weaving this Midras mythology into the recent harrowing news story that gripped the world of the 12 Thai boys and their coach trapped in a cave and the attempts to rescue them.
Here's one Hoagie Highlight from that discussion 'OH MY GOD! 12 boys times 2 plus the 25 year old coach, 25, rescued with 174 days left in the year! 1 plus 7 plus 4 what do you get? 12! Folks this isn't numerology (um, yes it is you kook), it's the resonance of the torsion field!'
'When all you have is a hammer every problem is a nail', Hoagie's hammer is this unfalsifiable 'torsion field physics' he's invented.
I find Hoagie to be as relaxing as alcohol or any sedating medication. Not weed, weed does not relax me at all, agitates me.
