Humor, apparently, is in the eye of the beholder.
Houston could hear everything they were saying, at least when they were on the frontside of the Moon. While on the backside...well they did report the things that were really interesting when they swung back around. The things that they made offhand comments about, no reason to. And if you read the entire transcript you'll see that the astronauts themselves weren't very concerned about them either, aside from throwing a few light comments at each other.
There is a strange light down there.
Is it a bonfire ?
It might be campfire.

Just to add to Phage's confusion, check out who's looking at alien moon bases with Farouk here:

But...but... Egyptian.
But...but...Nixon ('s brother).
But...glass ceiling. Low Earth orbit.
My God you broke phage he's in a logic loop. Quick get the paddles. It's very dangerous to try to follow the logic when it doesn't exist.... I think this is why they have to wear the tin foil hats I'm almost sure this prevents a melt down.

Maybe there was no hype as they were already privy to the fact that there were people on the moon mining and camping out

dragonridr said that I broke phage's logic loop. That is a wonderful way to express the fact that I am winning by linking Farouk to Richard Nixon.
Do either of you understand the implications or are you being purposefully naive?
Farouk was the secretary of the landing site selection committee. He didn't get there without Ed Nixon helping him along.

I think a lot of it is just that.
I also think the campfire reference relates to astronauts who took part in Earth Orbit missions claiming to be able to see campfires in remote desert areas (something that's possible but I think is unlikely).

Look at the transcript, do you see how Conrad was confused about what button to push? It takes the Apollo 12 crew a total of 14 SECONDS to find the right button.
I'll leave this up for you to decide for yourself, OP. Did these highly trained military jet fighter pilots suddenly forget how to use the phonetic alphabet? The transcript shows they did forget... and that is a Red Flag for Apollo.
The Apollo Defenders in this thread do not want you to know how Farouk was hired, who hired him or how it happened that he was just a simple, Egyptian born geologist who answered a help wanted ad in a geology magazine, who then skyrocketed to the position of Secretary of the Landing Site Selection committee.
