I have now heard numerous stories from people saying that Hoagland gives marathon talks. Normally, a lecture on a given topic from an expert might run 1.5 hours (my talks run about an hour), but by then the plug is usually pulled. I find it really weird that he would give these hugely long lectures. Are they all that way? It makes me glad once again that I won't debate him; clearly, he can provide an avalanche of nonsense.
