I pull up a random show every day when I go walk, mostly from the 1990s back when Art was on the rise and hitting mainstream. It's funny I'll start to notice patterns with the themes of banter that Art has with regular guests, just like tropes in a TV show or movie series.

Whenever that gasbag Hoagland is on, I can't help but smirk when Hoagland starts going off about some super secret source or random email he received that happened at the same time some world event occurred and how its no coincidence. Then Art and Richard yuck it up for a bit and lay it on heavy with aggrandizing act about his show being the cutting edge because the 'mainstream' won't cover it, and Art leaning into it a bit until Hoagland sucks every bit of air out of the show with his righteous scientific trailblazer complex and crackpot pseudo-intellectualism.

Gotta love it, I nearly break out laughing when I hear him name drop Carl Sagan too, like they were buds on a first name basis. Never seen so much gasbag entitled elitism for a guy who spent an entire life out of pretending to be a scientist and so much mileage out of a simple suggestion box entry on what to be included with the Voyager probes and being a glorified intern for Cronkite.
