Oh wow, write these things down John Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
and Sunday June 3 2018. This is your award winning combination
media assassination episode 1039. This is no agenda running
on fumes
but you're ready to rock and broadcasting live from the
Capitol the drone Star state here in downtown Austin Tejas in
the studio in the morning, everybody. Curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm proud to announce I've
added to my collection of every version of Louie Louie ever
recorded. I'm John C. Dvorak, Raglan Buzzkill.
Back in the saddle, but a rough morning. I've added
since you didn't care to ask the 1965 version of Louie Louie by
the Sonics as a Tacoma based Garage Band proto punk.
I'm so happy this will really complete your your collage.
Oh, no, no, no, I still have yet to get to see the Deion salon
salines version.
Celine Dion? Is
that what you're saying? silanis Celine Dion? Yes. And also
there's there's apparently a version by Steve Martin. I
haven't heard.
Hey, did you see that Steve Martin? Martin Short. They did.
That was pretty good. Okay, I liked it. was kind
of like two guys on stage. Yeah. Well, really working together
that might make
it a lot of money. Thank you, Netflix, you know that you know
how that meeting went? Hey, we want you guys on stage is
millions of dollars.
Okay. Let's just do our separate acts again.
So we got in late last night, due to thank you United Airlines
messing it up as usual. And I had a little problem this
morning, as I we were pretty much OTG for the week, which
means you know, the the iPhone is has been off. And certainly
all the location services, everything was turned off. And
I've discovered that unlike the old feature phones, your time
does not update if you have the location services turned off in
your privacy settings. Meaning I woke up an hour later and didn't
realize it until like 830, which only get which really cut into
my prep time.
Do you ever think of using like a plugin alarm clock or
something that winds up and has a big dial on it? And we're
Belen? The top?
I have now?
Definitely. And to add insult to injury? We had no we only had
decaf
in the house. That was rough.
But why did you have decaf at all?
You know that's like you have it if someone asked for it, and
it's way in the back of the pantry.
Because give them a lecture about the residue hexane that
may be in decaf. Well, so not
only it's not only am I not woke, I'm probably poisoned.
What is what is that hexene stuff. What is that?
Well, how do you get there? How did they get the caffeine out of
the coffee was two ways. Okay? One is hexane extraction, I
believe that use hexane and I don't believe that for a minute
that is not residual hexane in the in the leftover coffee.
What is hexane doesn't sound is a is
a gas that's actually a liquid, very highly volatile liquid that
can be used as to flash off things that it's done. It's used
to extract or most if you don't buy your olive oil and these
other things expeller normal or compressed or or expeller
extracted they use hexane a lot of times to to give you this tea
boil so
you can you can you can clean like your your dentures with it.
Or is it I would
say hexane I don't know. But I'll tell you this that you cook
with these oils is fine. They hexane gets slashed off in the
pan. But if you use it for salad dressing should never use you
should only use a expeller or a or a crushed pressed oil for
salad dressing. Because you know what the know what's
more life saving tips from your no agenda show right here,
ladies and gentlemen. And then of course, you know, I haven't
touched the production machine for a week. And it says yeah,
okay, we're really tired of waiting for you. There's just,
there's no more way
out machines have to expect some attention. Yeah,
there's no way out curry, this time for your update. And this
was a big one.
It took a good hour and a half. That's too long for an update
that makes no sense.
I have no idea how these updates. I'm assuming they are
they have to patch a lot of things within the OS and make
sure the OS keeps running. So it so there's like huge pieces of
code that have to be a wholesale pulled out and new stuff dropped
in and then reattached.
Yeah, yeah, something
like that. But Forget all that. I want to give you John on
Charles Dvorak, a slow and well deserved clap. Very, very, very
you played the longest Gambit game ever played on this show?
Yeah. And I didn't catch it at first. In fact, I thought you
were just being really nice guy.
Not that you weren't. But
Dan and I both noticed on the previous show the previous live
show 1037. You said something new and we were both kind of
touched by it in a way.
I have a clip. So I got corrected by one of our
producers who was snotty and says that now he says Fisker did
a first date ever use Danny Fisker ideas that did Tesla they
use this Hans character, who's still there was the designer and
I've been looking into it. And I haven't made I have to now do an
interview with Fisker to find out what the scenario is now
they did part company before the s came out.
Do you think you can do that before Thursday since we know
wishful thinking? We're doing a best off on Thursday.
We're doing our last thing is Adam has to do something on
Thursday. And we have one Ramsay Cain best of left.
So when both Tina and I heard that, and we talked about it was
nice, you know, it's like no, not Adam gone on vacation. He
was like, oh, Adams got to do some things within your
business. Just just leave it as be. And I had to go back and
listen to the clip but and I heard your brain work and
because I know how you are a little bit now after a decade.
You had this whole elopement in Vegas plan from the get go
didn't show. You had the newsletter in your head. I mean,
total
genius. Low pop to it.
A lot of these things just come naturally.
To talent. You mean? Yes, of course. It was so good at this.
So we're I'll tell you a little bit about what we did. And we're
on vacation all sudden we get all these messages like oh my
gosh, congratulations. That's so great. You're loping that's
good. And then the newsletter comes out with Elvis pictures
like wow. I mean, this is why you donate you donate to see
this genius was very, very I even got a note from one of our
AFGE producers, Day of G as a meal speak for Afghanistan. And
he said, Ah, I know how this works. You're on your way over
here. You didn't want anyone to know you were traveling. I can't
wait to see you like oh shit. Good idea. And when we go to
Afghanistan, I'm sure we probably won't announce it
loudly upfront, but yeah, that's not what's happening. So just
take a bow there for a second John, that was really good.
Thank you. That was very, very good.
Does that mean that is the longest you've ever done
anything that near where the longest
time period? Well, it wasn't like
I don't know. It wasn't as premeditated as you might
imagine. But it was, it was an obvious thing to to suggest
because in fact, if you had I actually believed it was a
possibility. I wasn't insincere. Because I know you you're like,
you know. Let's go to Vegas and get married by Elvis. Yeah,
I can see but this this girl's a little different. I think she
deserves better than Vegas and I
think she might get a kick out so no like that.
No, no, no, no. But I do want to
explain a little bit that you're selling her short there. No,
no, no, no, no, no. I do want to explain a little bit now. We
realized that neither of us had had a meal on the beach do
absolutely nothing. Drink sit in the sun vacation for 20 years
and yeah, that's because you got like yeah divorces you know
there's all kinds of stuff that's gone on in our lives.
Tons of travel and and and great things we've done. We've met
people all over the world, but there's always been like meetups
or families or something going on always pretty much a show we
rarely take a show off when when we travel. And Deena being the
Chief Marketing Officer of the Ronald McDonald House charities
of central Texas deals with a lot of Central Texas, she works
weekends, you know, they have all these donor events. Bryan
College Station is within their realm. So she travels there a
lot and this is shitty ass road to go back and forth. And so
she's busy. She has, you know, they don't always get to take
holidays at the house because you know, they have to someone
has to be the house manager so you choose you can get
Thanksgiving off but not Christmas Day, and it's all the
stuff. So this week came up was available for her, like, let's
go. And we found there was a new hotel and I'm not a fan of
vacationing in Mexico for just a whole bunch of reasons. One of
them being that they seem to roofie people and kill them with
alcohol. So I am not so sure. Anyway, there's a new hotel that
opened up in Cabo San Jose, which is kind of the, the quiet
part of Cabos. And it's the viceroy. And because they had
just opened up for a week, but they weren't done with
construction. They had these incredible deals, like, this is
fantastic. Let's go here. And it was, it was, there was no one
there. The only people really who were there were professional
hotel reviewers walking around, wearing high heels in business
suits are walking around the pool with a camera like, Gee, I
wonder what you're doing here. It may be they were working for
Yelp. You know, there's a guy douchebag with a drone during
air doing aerial photography of the place. And, and then, of
course, you also want to have great shots of the hotel. So
there was a photographer with models, I'm doing air quotes,
models, who are all addicted completely addicted models. To
their phones, I should say, I observed, each one of them had
the 45 second phone check, no matter what they were doing,
sitting at the pool.
I just want to mention that ever since you've mentioned this,
I've been looking around more and more. Yeah, and yes, women
are walking around holding their phone all the time. Mm hmm. And
then
every 40 It's about 45 seconds, they'll turn it over. Now it's
much funnier when you're at a resort and they're already kind
of in model mode. So they're doing selfies everywhere that's
in the pool and twirl around and twirl a little to the left. Do
the duck lips not this one like look check, pinch zoom, rotate
NAD delete new one. It's the I got more on that later. But so
we're you know, we're just enjoying this place. It was you
know, it was basically a beta test. And I'll get given
example. The first night we had dinner and I said all let's have
a two dirty martinis with three olives. Okay, great. And after
five, six minutes, guy goes back to Korea. Very bad news. To
what? We can't find the key to the cabinet that has the olives,
like okay, this is this is gonna be fun, that we're just in the
sun sitting drinking. And because we were so decompressed
there's a lot of things that I learned and came to mind. Maybe
I just had some revelations which I'd like
to share with you. So OTG we were
really didn't take stuff down to the beach of course when we came
back you know around three, four in the afternoon catch up on a
little bit of news the head to head satellite slash cable very
strange schedule. We had like Seattle television local
stations. But the the news networks were I don't know what
how their schedule work but you get like, you know, Rachel
Maddow had midnight. I think I caught Morning Joe wants at 6am
and pretty much all you would see a Stephanie rule on MSNBC
and she's very annoying. And then he of course we'd maybe
there's a we caught a Tucker we watched a little bit of dawn,
but then the social nets. And I check into the face bag. In the
minute I hit it. And I looked at Twitter and I'd looked at no
agenda social media just looking at news articles. The minute I
hit the face bag on my browser, I don't have the app on my phone
anymore. My browser, boom. Right away. I started getting emails
in Spanish. Just before for one after another they start coming
in because you know, the minute you go on face bag, like Oh,
even though my location services are turned off, which doesn't
allow my clock to reset, but it was enough to tell you know all
of the affiliated me the companies who have my data
through face bag that I was in Mexico. So I start getting a
Bill Maher would call it spick and span I guess. So there's
really nothing left for me to look on face bag anymore. So
kind of the no agenda group. And this place has become so toxic.
I mean, he can back that up. She was in there. I
mean, he's always in the face back group. Sir.
Are you still there, John? He's still alive.
Yeah, I'm gone. She she actually said that. She's just there to
keep tabs on you.
Well, she won't have to do that anymore. Because I'm sitting
there thinking I really want to figure this out. Why do these
people do this in the no agenda group? Why do they insist
horrible things to being said? Yeah, and And a couple things
came to mind quite well, it's, it's irrelevant for the moment
just for the moment. What hit me was the social networks, develop
their own culture, they develop a being a kind of a DNA of their
own. And I think it's impossible to change it. If you recall or
cut or cut was a Google project they wanted to put together a
social network I think they bought it actually.
I believe they started it could be
they started it but this is around the time of MySpace and
MySpace was everyone's Oh, my space is where you got to be.
And of course MySpace did go it does happen. These things do go
away. And what happened with orchid or K UT? Is it the the
DNA of that social network became transsexuals in Brazil
and whatever no matter what they tried short of kicking them off.
They couldn't change what that social network was, whatever
became of it. Do you know?
I think Google finally shut it down with after a little bit
after some when they started Google Plus. Yeah, that's right.
Google Plus sign
no buzz buzz, I think was buzz first. Remember that Google Buzz
No,
that no, but buzz was not really a competitor. It was but I know
what they said or cut down during the Google Plus era.
Another fine social network that didn't work because it's it's
odd. You can't really place your finger on it and you can't
really control it despite face bag. ad after ad I keep seeing
the same ad. Facebook was a place to find friends. But then
the fake news came in and it got old scary and woohoo. We hit
Facebook are going to make your life beautiful again. Have you
seen this ad?
We didn't we put it on the show. We might have we might
have. So I you know and I said I would really like to figure out
what's going on with these people why they're so mad about
us. And I said no, you
can probably you probably look the ad up on your face book. And
we can play it's only 30 seconds. Good ad in terms of eye
roller.
Let me see. sleazebag ad I should have prepared it for you.
I'm sorry. Ah, damn it. Okay, that will say you
did your discussion.
Yeah, that will take another hour from my machine machine to
unlock. Okay. So I you know, but regardless, you can't fix face
bag. I mean, you might be able to find out what's going on with
some people in one particular group. Because you know, but you
can't really because it's face bag there's so much going on.
There's so many things that are that are you know, controlling
people's behavior. It's just it's a weird thing. So I said
I'll do the only thing that I can do and I deactivated
my account. What Yeah, I did
I thought you case you were on that account to keep track of
the your daughter
know that she when she noticed that I disappeared. She said Ah,
finally I can get rid of this face bag. I was only on it for
you. She said that. Yes. Yes, she did. That she's on
Instagram, which is still a face bag property of course. But
anyway, so um, I didn't delete it because I still want to
download everything I have. But it's deactivated and I do not I
can quit. I do not plan on going by can I do not plan on going
back? But I still remember I'm relaxed. We're OTG we're
chillin, we're like, let me go see what's going on over there.
The
Reddit group. Maybe I can learn something there. Now,
let me tell you about the Reddit we have a subreddit or we don't
there's a subreddit on Reddit.
And all the no agenda haters.
Yeah, well, not entirely. And I do want to talk about my
experiences not
something else. I'm sorry.
So there's a holes there for sure. And some people just mean
and hateful. But there's also clearly very smart people who
are extremely angry about our show since Trump got elected.
Yeah, they're a bunch of Hillary supporters I have
I have a theory I've developed a little theory and because I say
let me just tell you what happened. So first of all, I
like the challenge of trying to figure out why someone is so
incredibly pissed you know I do this we did it with no agenda
forums, which eventually blew up and it always blows up in the
end
because no it's not it's unhealthy. Ah,
you're getting to my point I'm gonna get there. Now I
visualized Reddit itself is kind of like a greasy slimy slug with
barbed sticking out of it you want to look at it you got to be
careful you got to I poked it a little bit you know lifted up
its tail smell this but and like, this is what but really
read it. Let's be honest. It's just a shitty common board with
with like some simulated democracy. You've got my odds
you've got super mods, you've got reddit gold upvotes
downvotes. But as a new user, because I registered as Adam
curry 2018 Now I had no account. You post something and it shows
up, but no, no, that's not how it works. You have to understand
with Reddit, it's you enter a form of shadow banning, because
apparently, I was caught in the spam filter. So my posts were
showing up for me like a bozo filter, but not showing up for
anybody else. So I gave up. I guess what I didn't know. I
mean, people aren't responding. I'll screw you, then I don't
care. And then I get a note from a mod supermodel. I don't know
what's different in a mod and a supermodel.
Supermodel supervisors is supervisory if supervising
modifiers are modified,
or something like that. Something like that. And oh, no,
you need to verify. Verify. Everyone here is anonymous. I
have to verify. You have to tweet me. Like, I can tweet. I
said, Hey, how about this show? 138 is one hour and 58 minutes
and 30 seconds long. And it hasn't aired yet. No one knows
the length. So that's me now wasn't good enough. Anyway, fine
line?
I don't know. That's good enough.
No, it wasn't good enough.
So I followed the supermom, I didn't. I didn't tweet him. I
followed him. Tada, you followed me. Okay, believe it. And you
know, what I posted was like, I'm happy to answer a couple of
questions. But the unless you can tell me you've donated or
you've supported us in the past, and then you're now you're all
turned off and angry at us. I'm not going to engage with you to
do that was all pissed off. Now, as as I'm reading through this
and interacting, it hit me. So here, here's what changed in the
past two years, not us, not us. The media changed. We were
reporting on a media that was fawning over the president is up
his butt loves him. Nothing could go wrong. Best thing ever,
that we've always really reported on the media. Now, the
media has flipped 180 degrees and hate the President's guts.
Yes, it's two different guys, but it's still the president.
So this is what changed. Now,
what I've come to recognize is that no agenda is very healthy
for a lot of people, they tell us this, they send us and this
is a big reason of why we do the show. I think we could probably
make a lot more money doing other projects doing other
things. But my age and yours, perhaps it's like, you know,
hey, people were doing something good, apparently, because they
tell us so. Yeah. But this is true for an amount of people,
which doesn't seem to be as large as the group that actually
helps them with their health. It has the exact opposite effect
and is affecting their health dramatically.
Oh, I believe that for I believe that there's no doubt about
it. But I hadn't considered that the same show. could hurt
people.
It's be universities balance.
Right. But this so the people who for whatever reason, don't
like the President or whatever their issue is, I guess that's
it. They you know, we have these and you've changed you. If
Melania if, if Michelle Obama had tweeted out if she hadn't
been seen, you would have said she's getting our sex change
operation. Like probably. Maybe, but look at what the media is
excoriating the First Lady this time around. So we respond to
the media. That's what we've always done. So suddenly, I
don't think this is an immediate change. We didn't realize
nothing that we can do or will do, quite honestly, to make
these people happy. And I said, Please, I really, really hope
just get lost. I really hope you stop listening, because this is
really bad for your health. You must stop listening.
I would agree with that.
So oh, by the way, just back to your original premise of the
elopement. One of the reasons I was very happy to be with the
keeper for a full week just 24/7 just her and I together no
distractions no shows no work, no donor events. I really wanted
to figure out what the I needed I want to propose to her in a
really fantastic way and it helped because I figured it out.
So that's that was part of the reason and I'm obviously not
going to tell you on the show but now I have my now I know
what I'm gonna do. We're common law married anyway,
according to this pretty accurate then they almost nailed
it. Yeah. And I'll be honest, I there was a consideration
although the It was not, it was considered not to go to Vegas.
But yeah, I was like, Oh yeah,
I'm gonna kneel in the sand in front of the moon, like, Oh,
please, I can do better than that. I can do better than that.
I know. I can do better. Yeah. No, no. It's not going to be
Elvis. So. So that that part is, you got pretty close. Anyway, I
had a number of rep revelations. It was very, very good for my
for my brain. And I want to thank our our dude named Ben
producers, but it does, it's worth mentioning how incredibly
cool. Our system is just take this into consideration. I was
thinking, Ah, I need to find the clip where John said, Adam has
something else to do on Thursday. So I know it's in, in
Episode 1037. But where we said that I don't know. So I go to my
buddy Claude walk there. And in Australia, who has been working
on the no agenda transcript project, and he has output it's
pretty I mean, it's still not great, because it's just not
great. No, AI hasn't gotten there yet. And I think he's
using either Amazon or Google's transcription service. But I was
able to search for this. And I found exactly where you said
that, that looked like you said it there. And it had a link to
the no agenda player, which is a completely different project
from a complete different dude named Ben, click
right into it. It comes out.
I mean, this is mind boggling to me that we have now connected
these things, with completely disparate projects, all open
source, beautiful. And also, by the way, big shout out to Dave
Jones, who created the freedom controller without a doubt, the
most awe inspiring podcast workflow production tool, and I
finally figured out how it will be useful for more people than
just me building this thing for seven years, like probably
hoping one day Oh, I'll make money off of this. Yeah, well,
maybe I have an idea. And maybe the money will. I certainly know
how more people be able to use it.
That's yeah, well, he could use the money for doing all that
work.
Yes. And most of all,
coming home last night. I hadn't smoked weed in a week. Boy,
this stuff is good for me. Because the minute I smoked a
joint and all everything fell into place. I had all these
things I knew exactly. This is actually when I really figured
out what you had done. So it's a magic flower and I'm all for it.
And thank you Ramsey Kane, for collecting some of the great
best of no agenda bits. And us being able to turn that into a
Best of Show for for my big unplug, unplugged week. And here
we are now on episode 1039 and ready for a new show.
Read Well that'll conclude today's show.
Come on, man.
So do you wanted me to tell you what happened while you were
gone? Since you have no idea?
I do know a few ideas. I know that women are angry to other
women that calling each other the C word. This is apparently
really important. Roseanne is did something racist. Okay.
blamed it on Andy and the funniest line of all, of course,
when Sanofi tweeted to her saying yes. Racism is not one of
the side effects, which of course was the stupidest thing
they could ever do. Because now everybody's talking about the
actual side effects of Ambien. What an idiot.
sleepwalking. Bath, like, like, like Roseanne did. Yeah.
And buying stuff on Amazon without you realizing it in the
middle of the night. We've had lots of people tell us we're
weird side effects.
So how dumb are those guys? Like cheese? Get it together? Yeah.
All right. Well,
let's talk a little bit about Roseanne, because I think that I
have some thoughts on this. I think it's worth discussing
really, because I do think that I tell you why. Because I think
a lot of it is the I think a lot of it's being glossed over I
mean, the real hatred of Trump. Well, I'll just put it that way
by ABC was born out. And I want to mention something before they
go on. Well, we really, really like to have the show. And then
we have two clips. I don't have a live to close. But let's start
with this discussion. The Roseanne, this was on P I
believe this was on news hour. And they're talking about some
of the details. This was the first number one show ABC has
had for over 20 years
was racist. There's no mincing around that. And what she said
was offensive and apparently was something that people at Disney
and ABC could not excuse in any way.
But what's so shocking is this was the biggest show they had
they were just touting it at the upfront weeks ago. Could there
have have been any other path and the one they chose today in
terms of canceling the show.
I think when you have the number one show on TV, the internal
conversation at some point has to involve someone saying to
someone else, can we keep the number one show on TV?
Apparently there was no way out for them as far as they could
tell. But this is something that has been a huge bragging right
for ABC Roseanne introduced disney abc executive Ben
Sherwood at the company's upfront presentation two weeks
ago, they bragged that this was the first time in 24 years that
ABC had had the number one show on television. They bragged
about the ratings for the premiere, which were something
just otherworldly compared to what we see in broadcast these
days. So you have to imagine that this was really the the
outcome of last resort for ABC.
But could there have been any way for them to continue this
show without Roseanne and keep a good thing going
creatively that probably would have been really difficult, you
would have had to have gotten stars John Goodman and Sara
Gilbert, as well as Laurie Metcalf and the rest of the cast
to
just sign off. Okay.
I want to get a couple of things. I was thinking about
this. And you did they did have the number one show and it's
rare for ABC to do that. They're the number traditionally the
number three network even though they're number two, nowadays
because NBC so bad, can
I can I give you my quick two thoughts because it may tie in,
that's all I have once pleased, they did not want to deal with
advertiser Fallout possibly to they had a complete Disney
complete shit movie come out. And I'm thinking that they
probably were happy in a perverted way that you know, the
distraction of this over Hey, your movie kind of failed for
what you put into it. This the Star Wars movie?
Yes. Solo. Yeah. I think there's an element of that. But I think
generally speaking ABC wanted, you wanted to have nothing to do
with this whole market. They don't like the Republicans. They
don't like the public present. And I don't and I believe
they're buying Fox including Fox Television. Fox News.
I believe Fox News is going to be stuck with the with the
Murdochs. Okay, but didn't you just finish? It's a Hollywood
thing you're going to Hollywood for Why are you putting this
Roseanne show on? Don't you know it's counterproductive? This is
not helping what we're trying to do, which is impeach Trump. Why
are you guys doing this? And I believe that peer group
pressure, despite the fact this one show and it makes money for
the shareholders, that peer group pressure forced him to do
this. And the reason I say that is because of the Tim Allen
show, right, which was overlooked into discussion.
Yeah, Tim Allen had a profitable show on ABC. And for no apparent
reason. Yeah, you're right. I took it off the air because it
was again at Republican Trump oriented show. It was no
different than Roseanne is audience.
Right? Right. So the hatred is so vast, so deep. So it's deeply
ingrained in their DNA.
These executives don't care about the shareholders, which
they should they only care about what the reaction is amongst
their peers, which is the car which is the Rob Reiner and I
said, Carl, Rob, Rob Reiner reaction, which is why are you
doing this? Why are you putting a show like this on you know,
this guy, Trump is a terrible person. He likes to grab
pussies. You can't put a show like this on a get what can't
you find a way to get this off the air? But it's our number one
show for the last 24 years. We haven't had a number one show.
What difference does it make? Is that all it's about is just you
you want to number one show so you're going to sacrifice your
Iraq democracy, our democracy.
Yeah, you're gonna ruin our democracy with this stupid show.
And so Off it goes, because they had an out then the out was this
and it would have worked. You want to keep this show on the
air. you suspend Roseanne for six months without pay.
Yeah, that would have worked. It would
have worked Yeah, that would have but the but the hatred goes
beyond that. It goes beyond the shareholders. They're
gonna consider that this was their out. This was their exit
strategy. They were getting grief by their fellow by the
peers in Hollywood. They're getting grief by everybody that
works there. In fact, when you hear the long report, which is
on ABC, where they discuss some of this depicts the crew and the
staff except for John Goodman seemed to have turned on
Roseanne by tweeting very nasty things about her. Yeah. And that
the whole operation was a renegade group they didn't want
so
that's, I think you're spot on with that. I have nothing to
argue against it and even nuttier just one of the I mean,
if it's really true, the rumors that they're now trying to
reboot the show around Sara Gilbert. Are you insane? mean do
you know nothing about how television works that was that
was that's not going to fly
no it's not going to fly that but they at least they can say
they tried to do something instead of what they could have
done which was put the show on hiatus suspend Roseanne for six
months all poor were is actually just one tweet I mean God but
it's okay so they could have saved the show but they did not
want to save this show and Sara Gilbert is an anti Trumper and
be just fine doing a show but let's listen to the long report.
This is too long you have to break it up here and there. This
is the from ABC that the network that did it. It's got a lot of
nasty little stuff in there. And this was the report that they
gave us
I did we begin with the firestorm surrounding Roseanne
Barr and her racist tweet that comedian firing back on Twitter
today blaming her words on Ambien maker of Ambien was not
having it. And there were other tweets the actress whose show
has now been canceled by ABC taking aim at some of her co
stars who called her words reprehensible tonight with the
president is now tweeting in the wake of the Roseanne uproar and
the White House was Pressed on why in his own tweet, the
President did not address what Roseanne said. ABC is Machop and
leading us off again tonight.
Fewer than 24 hours after Roseanne Barr's racist tweet
that led to her show being canceled was deplorable.
Comparing President Obama's former top aide to an ape
Roseanne was back on Twitter now blaming that tweet on a sleeping
pill. It was two in the morning and I was Ambien tweeting went
too far, the maker of Ambien firing back while all
pharmaceutical treatments have side effects. Racism is not a
known side effect.
Have we actually discussed the side effects of Ambien recently?
Not recently, but we have discussed them it's Sleepwalking
is every noticeable horror
it's more than that. It's a habit here. It is rapid
heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite,
impaired vision, slow breathing rates, muscle cramps, allergic
reactions, memory loss, inability to concentrate,
disorientation, emotional blunting,
does that emotional wanting
depression and or suicidal thoughts? anxiety, insomnia.
That's interesting side effects of Ambien is insomnia. Okay,
great drug nightmares, sedation, confusion, dizziness,
aggression, addiction and withdrawal which can be life
threatening. Yeah, I'm not saying that this is I don't even
know she was on Ambien. But come on. Ambien is not a good
product.
Is that a product you want to take? But today
even after trying to blame Ambien, how can
my nighttime meds kick and I'm legally dead till 7am
Roseanne did retweeting images of characters from Planet of the
Apes with Valerie Jarrett's image next to them. Tonight,
President Trump who celebrated Roseanne before
even looking at Roseanne I called her yesterday look at her
ratings looked at her ratings,
so far not condemned. Her racist words said the president
tweeting about Disney CEO Bob Iger, head of ABCs parent
company after Iger, Cole Jarrett personally, to apologize for
Roseanne is racist tweet. And this morning the President
tweeting he never called President Donald J. Trump to
apologize for the horrible statements made and said about
me on ABC. Maybe I just didn't get the call, ignoring Rosen's
words completely. And when pressed on this today, the White
House at first complained of a double standard for eventually
saying no one is defending Roseanne
President simply calling out the media bias. No one's defending
what she said.
Roseanne firing off more than 200 tweets since losing her
show. Vowing to leave Twitter
Another side effect of her Ambien Hayes was that she said
I'm gonna go on Joe Rogan podcast. Yeah, until then until
she woke up 10 canceled, canceled on it
said Roseanne firing before you go on. So I just got the best
check out of Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, one of the largest
corporations in the world, personally calling Valerie
Jarrett to apologize. What is he?
Well, first of all, she's on she's on his speed dial. So
that's not a big deal. That's probably
that's beside the point. But what is the what does he have to
apologize for? I'm wondering, I mean, I'm asking you, what does
Bob Iger have to apologize for?
He wants to stay in good graces of Jared and Obama who was you
know, Obama is going to be an important shoe business guy with
his new Barry and Mike production company. So I don't
know it's it's it's more virtue signaling. He maybe didn't even
call or just say just say I called her. Yeah, well, that
could and I don't know if you saw the next day. Oh, I have no
clips from it but MSN BC had a live forum. And then on the
panel, Al Sharpton, Valerie Jarrett, who else was on the
panel. Diversity I was just all hate y'all hate against white
people. And Valerie Jarrett. This is like take this as a
learning moment. Okay, fine. Anyone we continue have more
than 200
tweets since losing her show. And vowing to leave Twitter even
turning on some of her co stars writing to actor Michael
Fishman, who called her tweet, reprehensible. You throw me
under the bus nice to Sara Gilbert, who called a comment
abhorrent? She replied. Wow, unreal.
It's been all over the map with it. I wish she had just said I'm
sorry. Or like you know, Valerie Jarrett said that this could be
a learning moment. And tonight
the executive producer of the show, David Kaplan telling the
Hollywood Reporter, he and the writers had just return to work
on the next season. It was the first day back stunned by
Roseanne tweet, and now many of them out of a job. Even so
this is another great 100 A show got canceled in Hollywood
everyone's boo boo boo. Where's everyone complaining about the
Allen show everyone out of a job? I didn't hear that.
Did you? No,
no never heard anything. It was just very kept very quiet. And
as an aside, Roseanne is a moron. This is stupid. If you do
these things, their reaction. Kaplan probably a racist to say
it.
The reaction was universal disgust, adding we were
horrified by it. We also knew what it meant for the show. When
it came to racism. There was no longer any way to accept what
she was saying. Tonight. Roseanne saying I feel bad for
POTUS. He goes through this every single day. And even today
as she retweeted that Planet of the Apes image next to Valerie
Jarrett. Roseanne Barr still insisting She's no bigot. I'm
not a racist. I never was, and never will be.
Yeah, they would have been smarter if she said Valerie
Jarrett is a lizard. Yeah, there would be no calls. There'll be
no calls back and forth. Like oh shit, they're onto us. Hey, you
got to stick with the lizard. The lizard? Which lizards a
possibility? Yeah.
Oh my goodness. But then it got conflated with Samantha Bee. And
the bee. Yeah, the Samantha Bee thing was like I thought it was.
Yeah, it's to me. It's like she had a clip of it. Because
I finally found one. It wasn't censored and it's not even it's
not even interesting.
But it became like this comparison. All of a sudden,
it's like what and then in the meantime, you've got Joy Reid,
who demonstrably and now admittedly has tweeted, I posted
incredibly racist things. homophobic, conspiratorial,
I mean, do you know they start bringing this stuff out of her
being a homophobe, and then you start reading some of the other
stuff. She seems like a right winger in sheep's clothing.
I was gonna say, but reading like, you know, she was all she
liked. 911 Change Alex Jones.
She was a truther. Yeah, she liked Alex Jones. If she
gets kicked out at MSNBC and one of us dies she's in. I mean, she
could be on the show easily.
Wow, what a faker. She must be and we're bringing what happened
with Ed Schultz. When Schultz was on MSNBC. He was a
Republican hater. He went through the screeds that were
just like phenomenal. Yeah, and then he goes to RT and the next
thing you know, he's an Obama critic, you know, and the
thing is that with this hate and it's the same that's in the in
the in the slimy slug Reddit group in the hate comes out with
curse words. It comes like Keith Olbermann, I guess has been
rehired at ESPN. And, and he's just tweeting MF this MF that
you MF that MF this. And Smith. I didn't clip anything either.
But you know, she also insinuated that, you know,
there's incest between Ivanka and Trump and her father. Yeah,
absolutely. Yeah, we're just like, wow. And so it comes out
with these words, which, you know, the See you next Tuesday,
which is just something you don't A man doesn't say to a
woman, but women don't like it when they say it to each other
either. And that's in the US. Because in the UK, it's a whole
it's like they say that to each other people use the C word all
the time. So you know, words have different meanings in
different contexts in different countries. But don't say bloody
in the UK, they lose their shit if you say that. So let's just a
word. So I really don't care. But the whole thing is just it
wasn't funny. Where was that? Where was the humor in it? Then
now maybe it's just not my humor. Maybe Maybe other people
think it's hilarious that she said that it's possible.
It was sarcastic. But that's just like roll. political humor
is always going to piss somebody off, doesn't it? Isn't that kind
of how it works?
Well, especially Yes, yes. It's always done that
and us being a comedy show. We know it's you're never gonna
make everybody
happy. But anyway,
the whole thing was a was a charade, as far as I'm concerned
with the Roseanne getting out as to when they could have saved
the show, but they, they definitely did not want that
show. They were embarrassed by it. And they were probably
really even more embarrassed by the ratings that got because it
was telling them I mean, if you're a programmer, and you're
seeing this ratings on this, this kind of right wing, it's
not even that right wing, it's pretty middle of the road show
that was about white middle class, getting all this
attention when you're doing all this alternative stuff. You
know, it's never coming in first or second even right, but you
got you know, the monitor family you got the gay couple they've
stereotype which I think is offensive, by the way. Yeah. And
they have all these other kinds of crazy shows. Off the bow
blackish funny
blackish is, to me, it's
hilarious. It's a very funny show very well written. It's got
some good people working there. But at the same but it's this,
these are okay. This other show is it was it was making them
look like they were idiots because anybody, they could have
done more stuff like this. And they did have Tim Allen and they
got rid of him. So they're not even interested in ratings.
They're interested in virtue signaling with these shows,
yeah.
Above the shareholders above income above pure profit.
That's an interesting way to run a business.
And face bag is doing the same thing face bag is gonna run into
exactly the same trouble.
Whatever at some point, at some point, people start to walk
away. Here I have this one home on
Facebook holds a much anticipated shareholders meeting
on Thursday an annual event that normally lionized his boss, Mark
Zuckerberg. But this year, six shareholder proposals could
wrest control from Zuckerberg, the proposals include one share
one vote, the setting up of an oversight committee, and a
report on how Facebook is tackling gender inequality.
Facebook opposes all six proposals.
That's gonna be fun. I like the one share one vote. That's a
problem.
Which is the way it should be because you have no
control as a shareholder, you can't even organize because of
the
Google came up with this crazy version of the shareholder ship.
It actually gives you zero votes. Essentially, it's
useless. And yeah, yeah. Oh, you don't even share in profits
because they don't have dividends. Right? You bacon, all
human humans will be at the crap table. Hopefully the price of
the stock keeps going up, because that's the only thing
supporting Well,
it seems to be seems to be doing okay. Although, although reports
everywhere, that millennials are leaving the face bag that it's
57 plus, now I look up the numbers. And it's it's not easy
to extract. But somewhere between 10 and 23% of face bags,
overall revenue comes from Instagram. That was a very smart
acquisition. And I think Instagram is also a much happier
place complete mind control, but it's a much happier place.
Because there's not a lot of discourse in the comments. It's
just look, look at me, I'm so great. Look at my food. It's
lovely. Look at my dogs. Beautiful. Right? There's
a single line of commentary, pretty much yes, not a lot of
back and forth that goes on. Because once you make your posts
about the picture, you're you're done. You don't go back, but
it's pretty
telling if even me
if I can't leave the
face bag, because there's no value not even enough value for
the show. That's telling me I would like I left the Apple
platform. I think I'm just one guy but I think I think identify
trends reasonably well.
Then your identifying trends I think you're creating.
There was one other thing that I that I caught, which, which was
just funny to me. Again, showing the complete hatred and vitriol,
I told you earlier that on one of the few things I kept seeing
when we watch the anything on the on the TV on vacation was
Stephanie rule. And she is this really?
I have to look at her I'm gonna have to go look her up on the
Yes. Are you are you as I've been? I don't be the face
doesn't come to mind on Bing.
Bing Bing it are you ah, Stephanie Stephanie rule. And
she, she's just so annoying. Everything that comes out of her
mouth is hate. And there was a jobs report that came out that
although view and I always say yeah, great unemployment. 3.8%.
Because I guess another point 2% became bombs and are no longer
counted. You know, let's see the use six numbers change. Let's
see. I think that did I hear you say on the HM plug that they had
gotten somewhat better. The actual participation rate
numbers. Yeah, they should have Yeah, I think so. Did you find
still you're noticing this with the shadow stats numbers are
actually improving? I mean, that's, yeah, okay. I'm looking
at this woman's but I don't know that I've ever seen her ever.
You're not missing much. Well, I had that may be true, she must
have been in some odd hours. She
said she's on after Morning Joe says,
I wouldn't. I'm not, I'm not going to start my day off
looking at them as well I do
this, you know, I do this. This is my this is my beats. You
know,
it's called weight loss. It's
called. It's called job is what I do is what I do for the show.
Anyway, we have a jobs number of which I think the the New York
Times said, we're out of words how good this report is. And
okay, I didn't. Sounds good. It sounds like double what we would
expect. I think 150,000 is what you need to do really, to stay
even stay ahead of the game. So not even double, but it was a
good report. And here's her response, I
completely understand why the economy is a win for the
President. But to send this tweet out one hour before it
becomes public. The lockup around this number couldn't be
taken more seriously in Washington and Wall Street. So
the security around these numbers is incredible. Where
Amon just was in the lockup, I've been there before. I've
been there with Amon before they take away your cell phone, they
put you in a room, you're allowed to look at the numbers,
you don't have any access to the internet. If I were to before
830, text my wife and say the job numbers look good. I think
I'm going to be home late. I would never work in financial
journalism. Again, these numbers are so tightly guarded because
it's not just a top line number. It's all of this detail about
different industries that are tradable. And if you can get
that information early, of course, then you can make a
decision in financial markets in
the late the President gets that number the night before it's
never seen a president. I reached out to the SEC this
morning saying Hey, boys and girls, you care about this. And
they're declining to comment. This is quite a big deal. I
mean, at 721 right after he put the tweet out, we didn't see any
price action change. But we saw volume change so to people
Homegoing. Who cares? The President is excited about it.
He wanted people to look ahead. I understand that sentiment, but
the President is also taking action that could impact trading
millions, possibly billions of dollars. No,
of course didn't change any prices. As you noted.
Let me finish let me finish the sequence. I know what you want
to say probably. This was all over the news. Here's CNN is
John King.
It's not I get Larry Kudlow works for the President, Larry
Kudlow worked for a another president, pre Twitter, Ronald
Reagan. Go back and look. He says it's routine. I dare you go
back and look, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush, Barack Obama find a President of the United
States talking about tweeting about communicating about the
unemployment report before it came out. I dare you.
Okay, Derek accepted. President Barack Obama
226,000. Tomorrow, we're expecting another dismal jobs
report on top of the 2.6 million jobs that we lost last year.
We I'm sorry. That sounds like he just explained the the jobs
numbers in a press conference before the jobs numbers.
sort of sounds like to me, it was very specific. So Trump was
not was nonspecific. He just said I'm looking forward to
Well, we
know we obviously it was telegraphing let's not bullshit
about that. I
mean, it's true. I think you can say that. But it wasn't
technically as bad as what Obama did. That they don't they will
not bring that above Obama had real numbers. He said some
actual
action. And this was a different situation, because it was the
the great recession, the worst financial crisis since the Great
Depression. But he
did communicate the numbers. So don't tell me funny
with these other guys, too. These guys are just on these
shows lying through their teeth. Yeah.
What is this? What are these flip flops? Why do you have
John, why did you bring Fleetwood Mac?
Tell you what, I'll play that Fleetwood Mac, but I do have a
job. Okay, clip two. All right. Oh, that's why I was sorry.
Okay. Yeah. Because there's a word there says jobs. Whereas
this was this was the PBS news hour take of this thing. And I
thought it had, it was pretty objective.
A remarkable moment. Neil, I want to turn to some, I guess,
controversy today. The President himself tweeted this morning at
7:21am. This was a little more than an hour before these
numbers came out. And I'm going to quote he said, looking
forward to seeing the unemployed employment numbers at 830. This
morning. This has caused quite a stir among economists why?
Yeah, so these numbers that takes weeks to prepare them, but
they're kept under lock and key. It's a very sensitive thing
because they move markets, the dollar, the bond market, the
stock market all swing dramatically when these numbers
are released. So they're kept very confidential. You know,
locked doors not not spread widely, the President does get,
get a chance to learn about them the evening before. The problem
is if if this becomes routine, if the president kind of tips
his hand or hints about what's to come, it could be very
destabilizing to markets. And the idea that there wouldn't be
this kind of predictable 8:30am at exactly the the everybody
gets the numbers at the same time knows exactly how to
interpret them. But we want that predictability, especially if we
find ourselves in a crisis or recession when when these
numbers really markets turn on every every decimal point.
And there's even some there even some critics out there who say
the president broke the law when he did this.
Is there is there a law? Is there an actual law? I don't
think I think there's I don't think there's a law. Is there a
law
that I know of? They just, you know, it's just an SEC Rule
about one thing or another. He can say whatever he wants, he
could get to things tonight for an announcement himself if he
wanted to, he
can pardon? Martha Stewart. Yeah, this guy's got some power.
somebody
out there who's saying the President broke the law, when he
did this? What what is the rule? Well, the rule is that we don't
see any government agencies talk about the numbers at all an hour
around the numbers. And I think that's really important is
because I work with the National Association for Business
Economics, the statistics committee, I work with these
institutions. And part of the reason for keeping that sort of
timeframe out there not having advanced information, all the
reasons that Neil suggested are absolutely true. But also very
important is the integrity and credibility of the data. The
data gets politicized. Once it comes out, there's just you
know, no matter who's going to be running, if it's a bad
number, people are winning against that person, they're
going to talk about bad number, if it's a good number, they're
going to tell it it's a good number. In take credit for it,
it gets politicized, but defeat this idea that the data is
somehow influenced by an administration, any
administration is something you want to really stay away from.
So the credibility and integrity of the data and the institutions
that produce it are also being coming under question when this
is done. And I think that's incredibly important, because we
already see all these conspiracy theories. And I'll tell you, I
spent a lot of time with these statisticians. You gotta drink
when you're with them, because they're really that nerdy.
Yeah, yeah. All right. But do have statistician stuff for
later.
But whenever you talk, yeah, okay. Now Fleetwood Mac is was a
special put on P. N, PBS are local KQED. And I've noticed
this for a while they do these, you know, donation drives. Yeah.
And they use these stooges. And they because if you go to
Seattle, and watch their station, there's the same
people. And they're always referring to the number at the
bottom of your screen. Yeah. And what bugs me and I'm gonna play
a couple clips, there's a couple of things. There's a bunch of
things that bugged me about this thing, because I clipped three
little clips, to play the first one, Fleetwood Mac one. Now,
I was thrilled, just as I'm sure you are remembering the feelings
you had you remember the music, but more importantly, you
remember the passion each member brings to the songs, I think one
of the things that makes the band so popular, is that you can
relate to them as people.
Well, that is so true. And I think they are just like all of
us, has a story for the band, and maybe also for you, maybe
it's your personal experience of loss, love. Or maybe the
struggle of a problem, as Lindsey Buckingham reveals
during little demons, which is coming up later in the program,
whatever your connection, it's real, and it's genuine.
And the other thing that's real and genuine, is the fact that
part of the mission of this station is to showcase your
favorite artists or performers know that it is your generous
support over the years that makes all of this possible.
Well, if
you've already made that call, or click on support, or if
you've already become a sustaining contributor, we can't
thank you enough. Now, if not, it's not too late to join the
celebration. You do that by going online or calling the
number at the bottom of the screen, do it now. Remember, the
programs you count on really do count on you for support.
Now, I'm extremely annoyed by the number at the bottom of the
screen bit. And I'll tell you why. In fact, but before I tell
you why, let's play the second part of this clip, where they
had the head honcho woman of PBS comes on and has a pitch and she
has a new term by the way, for donors who subscribe which was
sustainers they made it annoying
instead of sustaining donation and sustainers sustainers.
Before we play it, I will agree that whenever I hear Fleetwood
Mac it also reminds me of my cocaine fueled heyday. I mean,
yes, it's a real people reminds me of this
was backstage with it with that group once Oh, yeah. How was
that? It was very uncomfortable. I mean, I did a couple of guys
were talking to the luckily this was the version of the band that
had to had Dave Mason. Uh huh. And, and I was a big Dave Mason
fan because sometime in the late 60s He did a soul Little album
that I thought was pretty dynamite. And but it was like
this, you know this like being with a bunch of strange. These
are not like you and me
when I Mick Fleetwood had brought the band back together
briefly in the mid almost late 80s, mid 80s. And it was
without, I think it was without Lindsey Buckingham, or, yeah,
Lindsey Buckingham was here. Maybe Maybe Christine, Christine
McVie, wasn't it? But I quit too. But I remember talking to
Mick Fleetwood doing an interview that one of the the I
had two big gaps in my career. This was the Fleetwood Mac one,
where I said, So Lindsey Buckingham, is she going to be
on the tour this year? The other one, the other one, the other
gaff, just while we're on it. The other gap was when I was
interviewing Jermaine Jackson, who had a song with PS Dora when
the rain begins to fall from some movie soundtrack. And, and
of course, I said, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Michael Jackson. You know, it's one of those cringe worthy
moments to do that. Alright, your second clip? Hello, I'm
Paula Kerger president of PBS. Thanks to your support, this
station is able to present stimulating science shows award
winning children's programs, sweeping drama and

I'm just getting in from the troll room that PBS has a
sustainer Learning Center website.
Really? Yeah.
It's stainer
pbs.org/sustainer/home The baby they're
going with this statehood. Here's what bothers me about
these things in particular. Have you ever watched like the
evening news and your local station in Austin or anywhere?
You have a cut to Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon who they usually
throw it to him from the news. Hey, Jimmy, who's going to be on
the show tonight a bill you actually know who to talk to
called a promo? It's a promo Hey, Bill, we Yeah, we're gonna
have so and so and so and so. And we'll back to you at the
we're here. We're rehearsing. We're getting ready in Studio
15. And we can't wait to have Miley Cyrus on again. Yes, back
to you take
send us a little 10 second hit, they do it for like, I don't
know, 100 or 200 stations as part of the whole routine. It's
not like you know, something crazy. These people cannot even
do that much. They will put so little effort out that they will
not that woman from PBS could have easily been cut a special
segments that he's mentioning, it's KQED or KC, whatever. A
little bit. Yeah. There's no localization whatsoever, because
it's too much work. These people are also rolling in dough, not
that I'm you know, you're gonna just say that. Yeah. But it's
just I find it offensive, that they look at the number at the
bottom of your screen, then whatever that stupid number is
used at and then again, give money to whoever it is you're
giving it to? We don't know. Right? extremely annoying.
Well, that's because it has, obviously because it has to go
through the local affiliate to the local affiliate gets credit
for it. And but yeah, I mean, it's it's low rent operation. We
there could
have been it what does it take to make a special 10? Second, I
agree. In particular, if you do it on Fallon, they can do it
anywhere. And if
if you have all this money to create all these groundbreaking
documentaries, and what was the other term about drama, sweeping
drama, sweeping, sweeping, sweeping drama said that it's
about cleaning women, do you have 10? Do you have 10 bucks to
do a live cut in for your local station. I agree. I agree with
you.
But here's the bonus and dislike not sure what this is about.
We're about to go back to this incredible concert in just a
moment. But in case you aren't familiar with the way PBS works,
this station is supported in large part by you and people all
across your community. And those contributions are what keep the
shows on the air. So if you're liking this show, perhaps you're
loving it, make a contribution now.
Wow. Write these things down. Josh. You're liking this show.
Perhaps you're loving it, baby. Yeah, perhaps
you're loving it. Make a contribution. Now. It's an
amazing partnership that's worked since day one. And we
would love to have you Do your part to keep
what works since day one. How about the actual commercials you
play?
They play commercials on PBS?
Yeah, no, they do its work
sincerely. No, I'm not working that well, no
since day one. And we would love to have you do your part to keep
that partnership going. Concerts like this one would simply not
be possible. Without the ongoing support from the viewers like
you. It breaks down to just pennies a day. But it adds up to
a lifetime of learning, education and entertainment for
everyone in our community. Thank you.
Barney, I think of Fleetwood Mac. And I immediately think of
PBS, every one of you who have been with us for a number of
years, you are keeping the music history alive by watching and
supporting this PBS station. And you think
about all of you out there who never heard of Fleetwood Mac
until you are watching this show. And we want you to know
that you can make the difference. Go online, or call
the number on your screen.
Even less than I love ups, especially our local station is
shooed, using that word, all rock and roll until just a few
years ago. I mean it was like during the 60s and 70s when
there was like a local revolution in San Francisco.
Bands like Jefferson Airplane in the Grateful Dead.
They just didn't they paid no attention to he refused to
play this stuff because it was beneath them because they only
played classical stuff. So this is nonsense. I just I'm sickened
by
it. Well, you know, of course this always have they use this.
They cut these deals pure commercial deals because what
they're doing is promoting Fleetwood Mac's tour if
Fleetwood Mac is touring and so they cut a deal. And the dealers
will give you all this promotion. We're going to buy
that and I know if they still do with the DVDs. I may have DVDs.
Yes. Yeah. It's not like Fleetwood Mac gets paid when
this plays on PBS. I mean there's royalties there's public
rights and there's the Performing Rights there's all
kinds of money coming in. So it's a commercial deal, which is
fine. Typically though, they usually get someone from the
band in to talk about it and you didn't see any of that was a no
no the bands come in there too stoned.
Good catch, good catch. And I think we have learned something
that I certainly want to use the sustainer and remember if you
liked the show, you just might love it and a great time now to
thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C
resi stands for See you next Tuesday. Devorah
and the morning Mr. Adam curry also in the morning all ships
and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water all
the dames knights out there
yes in the morning to the troll room had no agenda stream.com
doing a great job there. Good to see most of you there. Also in
the morning to tungsten Tom. And I went back because we we we
prepped for the best of show we did our what are called wrap
arounds that we do in the beginning the middle of the end
of a Best of Show. And I found a piece of artwork which was in
the Evergreen section. The number I mean we're up to 11,000
pieces of art now I think 11,000 the 300 something this lot this
was in this I think this was in the three hundreds, three
hundreds.
This is how sometimes we will look for stuff in the past.
Because there's gold. Yeah, gold mining.
Yes. And we're not talking red gold people. We're talking real
gold. And we appreciate that tungsten Tom if he's still a
listener, as as well as all of the artists who contribute to
our album art is one of the great differences. The great
differentiators of the no agenda show is we have fresh album
artwork for every single episode. If you like no agenda,
you'll love it. For the for the artwork. I'm working on
practicing.
This years now.
No agenda rt generator.com Our value from our value model works
a little differently. We we just tell you, Hey, did you like
anything you heard? Did it? Did it? Did you get any value? Did
it make you feel good that it did you learn something and put
a value on it, send it to us and that's what people do. And we
appreciate that and anyone over 200 becomes an automatic
Associate Executive Producer over 300 per episode automatic
executive producer just like Hollywood, we'd like to thank
them in a separate segment more at the beginning of the show.
And that's where we are now.
We also this is just going to be a little long today because we
had this is for two shows. Right?
The best Arbogast Thank you Ramsey came
to show 38 and 39 I believe.
Yeah, yes. 38 and 39. Correct.
So let's thank these people, one after the other starting with
Dave of food asoto. In Gladstone, Missouri 38338 To be
an executive producer. My apologies for being confused on
the 10th 37 donation day I am of course a solid 30. Ater and want
you both to keep casting in the course we still have the ongoing
38 cent thing where you put 38 cents at the end of a donation
means you like to show 37 cents.
Well, just like it's like you want it to continue. You think
why not get done? You have its usefulness?
Yeah, yeah. The question was, Is it past his usefulness? So we
haven't had to mention two things. One, comic strip blogger
sent me a DM saying, hey, people aren't going to donate and add
37 cents to say the social so show sucks, because they already
don't like to show they're not gonna give you any money. You
guys are self selecting. And so I said, well, thanks for
pointing out the obvious. Yeah. And I said, which I think are
good. But yes, da. We're not going to get a lot of you know,
we're not going to definitely going to get no $1,000.37 cent
donation.
Because what it does, what it does is it does open up a canvas
and combo a conversation and people tell us why they like it
or and we've gotten a lot of notes of people who think things
could be better or different. And some hate mail. Got some of
that? Yeah,
but we get some it was useful. Yeah. I don't have the totals
up. Bring them up on a Thursday show or the with them. Yeah,
Thursday. My apologies for being confused. I want it both I want
you both keep casting your pod on casting your pod until
episode 333. Right, I predict you will be simultaneously
struck by falling pieces of that Tesla they shot into space a few
months ago, permanently terminating the show. Neither of
you will feel any pain. And we producers will dawn black
armbands for the ritual year of mourning and then move on to
with our lives or something like that. acquired some goat karma

who wrote in who nonnamous is over insulting him. He says,
Hey, I read the note or I read the email over again, it said
add 37 cents, as opposed to just putting that three seven at the
end of the donation, which
is what I owe because he came up with a whole different number.
And he just because he wanted
to donate double nickels on the dime, so it'd be 5547. All
right, well, and so we're supposed but then we can't
extract all these numbers because maybe wanted to donate
5055 12 And then dad 37 Is 30 I don't know. So it was he's
adamant about this guy.
Well, he he's ant fucking on the numbers. I gotta hand it to
him. And go. What's that in Dutch

been a liberal. I was a fan of Bernie and very disappointed
when Trump won Charlie after the election I asked a question at
dinner party about why we went to Iraq and it was hitting the
mouth that changed my life. I have not missed an episode since
I haven't gone back to Episode 426 To learn about pipelines and
took it upon myself to go back to the day Trump nominated
nominated to our E live the whole election to relive the
whole election. From my newfound perspective, I particularly
loved episode 777 Make a note with the discussion of Gog and
Magog. I remember that
wow. I have to go listen to
the price of this donation alone. Not to go back listen to
that myself. My family thinks I'm obsessed my kids say I'm say

just about all my Facebook friends and are you with my
fabulous dementia B mother every day. She has only watched the
Food Food Network's Since Trump one that she can't cope, isn't

spreadsheet looks like it looks like the same note. So Andrew
Grasso, I still have to read that was not Andrew Grasso. This
was Andy Cantrell. Sorry, that was a mystery. I
see. I see what happened now. Yes, I do. Do you still need me
to look for Grasso? Yes, apparently,
so it'd be AGR and that is email. Let's
see. grassa.
Sorry about that. Sorry about that. Andy.
I don't think
let me see. No, I do not have a grasp. Oh, sorry.
Was it just AGR it's not Grasso? AGR? Yeah, he's got his email
address there is

just wondering as you well maybe ask our producers a question.
This is other social net called steam it Ste MIT and so the way
that works is people pay you money for posts. Then I guess
you fill up a wallet and then if you'd like something you click
on a like and then it sends you know part a couple of pennies to
the person who posted that someone is posting our shows and
making about 30 bucks a show
interesting yeah. Oh, oh, well, that's very creative.
Again, I want to mention Andy Cantrell was the one with the
Aussie dollars

the jingle was by request I do have a clip from my my backyard.
Austin, Texas six
o'clock years of talk about how East Austin is changing
confirmed. New research out of the University of Texas shows
it's already changed one of
the big headlines a neighborhood that now has more dogs than
children.
We will play basketball on the street, riding our bikes on the
street. We were a family so the neighborhood was a family.
That's how Erica Jasper remembers growing up in East
Austin in the 1970s. But she's seen evidence of UT researchers
findings that children or more accurately, families are
disappearing.
We don't see kids anymore. We'll see kids out on the street when
I see kids playing basketball.
When you say it right off. It kind of seems like almost an
attack at the newcomers. You know, eccentric dog owners, but
it's not that at all. It's just just the severe lack of
children. Dogs.
What people are most concerned about is they are worried that
the playgrounds of East Austin will become dog parks which will
be irreversible. Yeah,
and, and dogs poop all over the place. By the way. Have
you noticed? Yeah,
yeah, you're peeing in your elevator? I understand. Yeah.
I mean, I'm I'm toning down the the reports because it's
obvious. We've, you know, we've shown that it's true. Here's now
it's again, identify set. The trend, as you would say, is now
everyone is aware that we are gentrifying East Austin with
dogs. Very odd. The the real problem there he is. The real
problem is of course, affordable housing in Austin, which is
going away of San Francisco and most of California yay. Yeah,
unaffordable, unaffordable here in Austin. It's really
I was looking at as I was doing because I brought up this issue
with the cheap properties in parts of Pennsylvania and the
little splotches around the state. And I was looking at
something interesting because I was Mount Carmel, I think of
some of these other places where you get in buy a house for 25
grand. Most of the houses for sale and they sell between
25,000 and maybe 100. Maybe they're all small square
footage, and it's like every house in the whole town is a hot
1200 square foot. You can't buy a 1200s up there. Yes, there's
one or two here and there, there's these they would be
called cottages in the San Francisco Bay area. But most of
these places most places got a lot of square feet. Very rarely
1000 or 1200. I think that maybe that would be some part of a
solution is to make a lot smaller and build some smaller
cottages so people can get started tiny home buying process
tiny homes. Well, tiny homes is really small. But I mean,
there's needs to be some way because anyone who has a
property game you Rach it. I have the analyzer.
I have the answer.
That former New York banker told me what he's doing in Austin. He
has he has acreage that he purchased several years ago in
East Austin out what is it towards Ben White Boulevard I
think are that East East East Austin. And he is going to he's
going to build dorms.
Not for students. Just dorms. For people.
Not a bad idea. I would say this. That has potential, but
it's kind of sad. Well, it's like building this. Yeah, well,
you can always repurpose them as prisons.
It was Who says it's not the same. It is after all East
Austin.
The only thing you could do was just lock the doors. And I was I
purchased not a bad idea.
I think he's gonna make a killing his banker by after all.
Yeah. I purchased a copy of the Financial Times Weekend Edition
while you're waiting at the airport in Houston for our
flight back to Austin. And I was looking at the you know, they
have that weekend edition. I have all the real estate prices.
Now in New York. I thought New York real estate prices had
really collapsed. Not that I know of. So I thought that
people were leaving and they couldn't, you know, didn't No
one wants to buy anymore. But I saw a studio apartment. studio
apartment. I think it was 750 square feet for $1.8 million.
How many square feet 750
Cheese Where are we going?
Yeah, no kidding.
All right, let's let's shift gears here for a second. This is
not so much something to deconstruct while maybe a world
deconstruction I didn't get around to playing the this
couple shows ago. clip about Ireland now passing a new law to
allow abortions, which has been something that's been verboten
in Ireland forever. And so that passed and now we have Argentina
hundreds
of women have protested against Argentina strict anti abortion
laws outside the country's Congress building. On June 13.
The Congress will vote on whether to relax the law and
allow women to terminate their fetus in the first 14 weeks of
pregnancy. It would also allow termination if there were
serious fetal abnormalities, or if the woman had been raped or
her life was in danger. At the moment abortion can only be
legally performed if there's a threat to the woman's life or
she's been raped
so there you go. The New World Order plan is working. Kill your
babies everywhere it's pretty interesting.
He'll kill all babies
Did I did I hear a report what a report somewhere
song in that there's a song and it was it was maybe a song by
The Stranglers?
I know it's mother song killed for peace. No.
Okay, then thing is
that kill all your babies. Is that
something there's,
you'd think a disc jockey like myself would know exactly what
that was
just thinking. Do some more lyrics.
Yeah, you should definitely do some more. Let's do some more
lyrics.
Italy. This is,
again, very interesting what's happening in Italy, as it looks
like they now have formed a cabinet. And with a
parliamentary system, you know, unless you win the majority of
the votes, you have to form a coalition with other parties.
And so the five star which used to be the comedian's party,
Beppe Grillo, has now formed a government says formed a
government with two parties.
I realize you're not joking. No, I'm not joking.
They formed a government. Well, Becky Grillo is no longer the
lead guy. They got the you know, the handsome young, young 30
year old who said, You know what, will form the coalition. I
don't have to be Prime Minister, the Minister of Economic
Development, but they brought in two parties they've hated
traditionally. One being the, the far right one being the far
left. And somehow that's going to work seems like a non starter
to me. I mean, I've seen it fail in the Netherlands time and time
again. They, they call it the a pink coalition. So it's red and
blue kind of combined. And here's a report which I thought
was interesting on the topic. The recent
political turmoil has unsettled financial markets, and analysts
say there is still turbulent times ahead. As Italy enters
uncharted territory, in particular, that government is
likely to face difficult relations with Brussels.
In this government of populist demagogues Euroskeptic and anti
immigrant will hold and we will now find out what it means to
have the first real Trump like government in one of Europe's
biggest economies will
like the Trump like government, okay, it's not even close.
They go against Europe or will they come down? Will they engage
in radical economic policies that blow a hole in please
finances, or will they be more pragmatic and the fact that
Paolo Savona, the controversial anti Euro economist who was
blocked by the President of Italy from becoming Treasury
Minister has now been shifted over and slept through the back
door and as European affairs minister is like an insult to
Europe. Vona has talked about leaving the euro as a Plan B
leaving the single currency. Now that may not happen and Italy
will stay in the single currency. But they've also
promised over 100 billion euros of spending plans. Right now the
markets financial markets have calmed after being spooked and
worried about Italy, and after an Italian debunked sell off but
if a new government gives indications it's really going to
be Great a flat tax that drives a hole for the budget and
creates a deficit of 50 billion euros a year. Or if they try to
undo pension reform that cost 200 billion euros. If they do
these kinds of irresponsible things, the financial markets
will come in the ratings agencies will downgrade Italy
debt to junk bond status and at that point not even married
Draghi. And his quantitative easing can save Italy if they
get D graded to downgraded to junk bond status.
That was the EU falling off the cliff. This is pretty
significant. This the the Italian problem I think is much
bigger than we realize.
But this is we have a similar problem going on in Spain.
Yes. Also with the government teetering because they kicked
out the word that they kick out the prime minister for it was
number 33 In the report somewhere on
that there was some corruption or something involved but yeah,
socialists have taken over Spain is extreme has if you go and
really started to go there and you're actually hanging around
with people, including no agenda listeners, you find is a lot of
really hardcore socialists that would love to run the country
and I think they're taking over the place and it's gonna be
interesting to see how they do. Well regardless,
it seems like globally the slaves are revolting, they know
they may be misguided
whatever was so much and
what I mean I think was talking to someone
take the vote away from him you don't have to worry about well
you know so here's here's why I like maraca is in all these
countries they can they'll do exactly that they'll take the
vote away Shut up there was no good do over and they can get
angry and you know, we've seen in the UK in the 70s the the
North came down with you know basic really with pitchforks and
torches for real and we're in the streets and we're screaming
but you know, as long as the Second Amendment remains intact
in the United States that won't happen that's what that's why
they want the guns gone is this is our final defense mechanism
they know Don't piss off the Americans because they bring
something different to the party
yeah you can do a lot more damage with a with a weapons
than you can with a bump stock new the bump stock that you can
with a pitchfork a bump stock bump stock you get 3d print them
that and then maybe we should have a quick Convo about the
tariffs. I think I have a pooper clip about the tariffs you know
is this No, no, this is from your own news about the about
the new imposed steel and aluminum tariffs.
Donald Trump is slapping tariffs on EU steel and aluminium
imports kicking the block where it hurts. The move is now
sparking
Where does it hurt really when you kick them? Is that supposed
to be a kick in the balls? Comment or? No, I'm trying to be
funny. They're your own news Donald
Trump is slapping tariffs on EU steel and aluminium imports
kicking the block where it hurts. The move is now sparking
warnings that it could destroy Europe steel industry, but
prices could drop by up to 40%. Confirmation of the tariffs came
to the European Commission president during his speech
expected. In a statement, John Claude Juncker said the tariffs
are protectionism pure and simple. While the EU trade
commissioner added this is not the way we do business. In a
tweet EU Parliament group leader Manfred Weber's said we will not
accept this highly regrettable decision without reacting and
that means there will be extra duties on American imports into
the EU. It spells uncertainty for businesses on both sides of
the Atlantic, including Europe steel sector,
we need to take safeguard measures for the EU we are at
the front door of a trade war. Therefore we have to continue
discussions negotiations with the US that has to be done on
political level because the European Commission is also
planning as rebalancing measures. So it's not only about
safeguards,
the steel industry is big business in the EU. It directly
employs 320,000 people producing 170 million tons of steel every
year. But more than 500 production sites, the US is the
second biggest export destination after Turkey. 4.9
million tonnes of steel went there last year. US imports like
jeans and Harley Davidsons have been earmarked for the EU
retaliation. Brussels will also now trigger a dispute settlement
case at the World Trade Organization saying America is
going against agreed international rules. All this
amid a worldwide gloss of steel and aluminium largely blamed on
excess production in China.
There is a much broader issue and much bigger issue that the
administration in Washington is aware of. And that's the
distortions in the Chinese economy that needs to be
addressed. If those issues are going to be addressed, the
United States will need to have the EU as an ally. And to be
getting into a quarrel with the EU at the same time that we have
a much bigger issue is tactically I would say wrong and
strategically wrong,
the US as it doesn't want a trade war, but it's difficult to
see that now being averted.
So I'm not very well schooled in all of this. And I'll kind of
give you my impression, and you can help me out. It appears that
we were trying to negotiate with everybody, but certainly the EU
over the tariffs. And I guess we didn't have any tariffs on steel
and aluminum imports.
I don't think we did. But as you don't know, because the stories
are never that. They don't give us a lie. Nation,
I did actually put it in the show notes. I did go to the
house that fit us.org.gov or some there's a website for the
import trade. And there's somebody responsible for it. And
you can like there's a lot of things we have import duties on
wax is a big one. I remember this when I wanted to I saw the
price of candles in the United States like holy crap, this is a
bag of tea light candles is you know, 10 bucks. That's like one
buck in Europe. So there's no there's some protectionism going
on there. And the cotton and there's a bunch of things, but
probably not on steel and aluminum. And I guess we were in
a negotiation conversation, and it just dragged on. And then
Trump said, Okay, it's, I'm tired of waiting, and here you
go, boom, here's your tax. And I don't know, did they not expect
him to follow through seems to follow through and a lot of
other promises that he makes,
as is the thing they're starting to note that was listening to a
bunch of these PBS guys going on and on about well, why is he
doing this? Well, it's one of his promises. Yeah. And the
thing is, is promises that he put out on the campaign trail
with I don't know, maybe one or two exceptions. I don't know
what they are. He is got a checklist and I guess he was it
says he's an amateur politician. Really. He actually I think
believes that if he promised something on the campaign trail
that he has to deliver it as president this crazy, nobody
else thinks that way. I love the quote from otherwise we'd be out
of you know, Obama, take it to the bank. We wouldn't you know,
it would be closed down Guantanamo.
Take that to the bank. I love the quote from July 1, the
Mexicans will have an election. And according to polling the
left wing populists Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is
known as AMLO. He might become the new the new leader of
Mexico, and he has apparently slammed Mexico's slammed. I
mean, really. This from Financial Times, I might add,
slammed Mexico's current government as weak and
criticized his decision to retaliate rapidly against this
week's us tariffs as short sighted quote. If we fall into
the trap of responding An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth,
we're going to be one eyed and toothless.
Joe, I'd never heard that one.
That's a good phrase from the CHE
old very old.
Have you ever heard? Here's just a phrase from the chaise Have
you ever heard don't tear my sign never know my parents.
There was some book in the it's got to be the 70s the some self
help book my parents were big into that a lot a lot of good
did they they taught us this the book that talked about everybody
wakes up in the morning and they have a sign near like a sign on
like a protest sign on on a stick. But the sign says I'm me
I'm happy or whatever the the goofy word was. And throughout
the day, people tear at your sign vo they grasp away and
hence the phrase Hey man, don't tear my sign. And I just grew up
with that and I wondered if anyone else had ever heard that?
I guess you haven't
I never heard it. I do know there was a lot of the self
affirmation they were color is my parachute that kind of stuff.
People did that. But I'm talking about people putting little post
it notes your great little notes all over the place that just
tell you the how great you are and for people who are obviously
so you know, depressed I guess as they're walking around, they
have to Oh, God. Oh, the science says I'm great. I've worked it
this morning. I'm gonna keep that I'm great.
I'm gonna keep using that. Hey man, don't tear my sign. Just
you know, I've also come across a very effective something new
and this really works. tried it out once or twice. Here's a
situation, someone cuts you off in traffic. What do most people
do? You flip
them off? Right?
Not necessarily.
Let's say that's one way to show your aggravation with this
point. It's always risky.
Here's what I am now doing.
For whatever reason, if someone says something and you want to
flip them off, instead of flipping them off, you give them
a thumbs down. And it really confuses people. Because they're
like, wait, and actually, it feels worse to them like that,
you know, because you know, then now with the Facebook, like the
thumbs up, give them a thumbs down. You have to say anything,
just give them a Facebook meme, but it's in reverse. So you give
them a thumbs down and people go oh, shit, what?
Oh, it try it. I'd love to hear back from Pat like the
idea. I think it's a good idea. It's thumbs down to California
when I flip you over there. Shoot you. Taxes too. Yeah, but
giving a thumbs down is not grounds for
shooting. No. And it's kind of like, oh, I would be kind of
baffling. But I'm bad. Because you give me a thumbs down. Oh,
man, you give me thumbs down. I'm hurt. I'm triggered ball.
Yeah, I want to thank Jessie for that. He's a he's a bicyclist
in. In Austin. He has to use the thumbs down a lot. And he says
it really works because if you flip someone off on a bike in
Texas, you're dead.
They will run you over your ditch. You
got an F 150 on your butt. I mean, you're done. But the
thumbs down confuses them. Like it's like a brain freeze
somehow,
but like yeah, like it two
phases ignore these sorts of things. Yeah. So I was watching
Kimmel. Some, you know, he did one of those on the street
things and this one I thought was pretty revealing. And in
that same time, you knew we know that they go out and ask 20
people a question and you know, they take the one guy was a
complete idiot now. But that's the way you do this. This bit
where you go on the street and yeah, something stupid. But this
one had way too many complete idiots. It seems to me that it
did clip us a little long. But Kimmo took a went on the street
and just asked people
to name a book.
If I said you wait, I say datum Name a book. Okay.
You want me to name one? Yeah. Lost connections.
I would say if somebody asked me to, in a way say War and Peace.
Oh, okay. That's Yes. heady, but okay. I wouldn't
budge brothers care.
My late two years. The book, my most recent book is automate the
boring stuff with Python. So yeah, I've read books.
And, ya know, nerds came up with this. This is what we ended up
with on the Los Angeles streets. It's
you wonder with all these, the streaming and the apps and the
games are people still reading books, you remember books,
things from Oprah's club. So according to a recent study from
the Pew Research Center, almost one in four Americans has not
read a book in the past year. That actually seems high to me.
I bet it's even fewer than that. So to find out this afternoon,
we sent a team out to the street to ask pedestrians to name a
book. Any book. Could be the Bible. Could be 50 shades.
I love how people are already laughing because they know they
can't name a book. This is gray gray.
All he wanted to know is can you name a book and here's how that
way
can you name a book? Oh yeah can you name a book No. Can you read
my book right folks? Yeah, that's a book. The Lion King
movie. You read the book The Lion King think Oh, man. Can we
cut this and do it again? Can you name a book? A book any
book? The Jungle Book. Got a book is it is it close
to magazines count. No, those wouldn't be books.
That's correct.
I can name Moby Dick. That's an artist he wrote a book called
course. I liked that book. Goby stick was the author. Yes, the
book was course. Yes. This was a lot When you read probably Dr.
Seuss Dr. Seuss, Dr. Seuss, Dr. Seuss maybe. Like 12 years.
I'm drawing a blank books. Sorry. I am totally blanking out
on books. What do you do for a living?
I was a librarian
you deserve it for that Wow. Wow.
That's what I thought it was a little. I mean, yeah, you can
get you can make fun of course, but this was out of control.
There was way too many people. I mean, I'm sure most people had
an answer, but the number of people that didn't have an
answer was just astonishing to me. I mean,
if you ask any no agenda producer, there's only one
correct answer
by iron Rand. I guess so.
Wow. That is pretty bad. It's pretty pretty bad.
So we have an election going on here in California and this all
Democrats running and we have
to explain something because from what I understand you have
some odd rule in California, where it will be the top two
contenders
regardless of party this is called a circus or Scott some
specific name circuses. Right. But that would rule is during
the primaries, you can have Republicans libertarians,
Democrats, the top two vote getters are the two people put
on the ballot. It could be two Republicans which is rare, but
it can happen in Southern California or could be two
Democrats. The it should be two Democrats for governor. Rush so
they so they're going they're trying to get the guys leading
is this kind of a slick operator Gavin Newsom. Yeah, my voice I
met the guy.
Wasn't he Mayor of San Francisco,
Mayor of San Francisco. Now he's Lieutenant Governor something
and he very slick. He's like a young treat Williams he gay? No,
no, he's the one who was married to Guilfoyle.
Oh, right. Right. Same now he's
very dissimilar.
So yeah, he's gay. Okay. Gotcha. All right,
buddy, but he has he's married to some other baby. And, you
know, he still wears you know, he still hasn't gotten the word.
He's
got the open shirt,
open shirt, no t shirt, just an open shirt down to the third
button or something. He's a and he's got that a baby, baby. So
he's got this he's looks like you know, and he's got the hair
the whole class a huge he's a classic douche and but he's a
political animal, a political game. So he's leading the pack.
But so they got they're going after him with these with these
anti Newsom ads, and they're very good. And if you look down
the list of who's promoting these, the anti Gavin ads is the
top name you see. And there's Reed Hastings.
Oh, from Netflix. Yeah. Hmm.
So Reed Hastings is going after Newsom and he's got the, you
know, he's kind of Hollywood. Because he you know, they
produce all these things. He can call the
anybody you can call Kevin Spacey in a heartbeat.
He could call anybody and say, Hey, Harvey Weinstein, so so
these are very slick. And there's a bunch of them. I'm
gonna play this one. There's a couple there's about three, but
this one here is just excellent. We
all know guys like Gavin, boasting over selling his
achievements, making false claims as lieutenant governor.
He skipped many of his duties, saying the job was so dull. He
only shows up to work at the state capitol like one day a
week tops the same Gavin who is Mayor split town during a
massive oil spill and jetted off to Hawaii. Gavin's not going to
work as governor.
By the way, this is what people don't realize what this is a
very subtle brainwashing tool. The way it starts off, we all
know guys like Gavin boasting, making claims that this they're
associating him with Trump. Ah,
the beginning of
this thing you can play the beginning again, I want to hear
this is a reference to Trump as especially works in California,
but then say now, I want to mention this. Everybody running
in California for anything is an anti Trump ad. Oh, the next
superintendent of schools. I don't want to we're gonna fight
Trump and he's just hatred of schools, or we're gonna fight
Trump and everybody's going on and on about fighting Trump. But
nobody has the skills I mean, when you watch these ads, you
go, you running against Trump, what is Your problem, and but
nobody has the skills to do what the Reed Hastings group has done
here, which is Association just subconsciously. Let's hear it
again.
We all know guys like Gavin boasting over selling his
achievements, making false claims as lieutenant governor.
He skipped.
Wow, that is great. And Hastings is a Democrat as far as I know.
Well, he doesn't Yeah, he wants to mayor of Los Angeles, this
other guy, this Latino guy to win, realize it's over whatever
time is for this guy can't remember his name, some long
name, but that he's Yeah, he's just yeah, he's a Democrat. But
he doesn't want Gavin Newsom. He wants the other guy. Right,
right. Right. And he's pulling this stunt in it is watching
these ads, and I'm just good in awe of the way they've
structured them to, to get to you now. It's like, oh, yeah,
we'll go like I think it's Trump is his name, isn't it? We hate
California.
I'd love for you to bring more of those. I'd love to hear more.
It's your beat.
Okay, I know, there's a couple of diseases at least one more
good one. And then I'll look for others. All right.
There was a fabulous Ted pill moment, the other day. Because
this war on cash, yes. The War on Cash continues. How's that
working out for you, Sweden. The visa payment network went down.
I'm sorry, there was a glitch. And although we did get an
explanation, a hardware failure. Yeah, that sounds reasonable. If
you're running the visa payment network, and your hardware
breaks, ever here, backup failover, all that stuff. So
clearly, someone deployed some patch, which broke a lot of
stuff. And in the end, you know, I started getting text messages,
people like holy shit, you got to see what's going on. And I
just, you know, search for the hashtag visa. And I think the
actual hashtag was hashtag pound visa down. And I mean, in the
UK, this happened on a Friday bank holiday, I might point out
we've always been promised the bank holiday is when Armageddon
would strike, it came back off and they fixed it. I'm sure it's
a backlog. But the problems people had. The biggest problem
with the by far is were shopkeepers and people at, you
know, supermarkets who just could not process payment. And
people would yell at them. And they were, you know, cursing and
yelling, and, you know, throwing stuff and grabbing things hadn't
paid for and just leaving, you're not doing it right. And,
you know, people who had to had drinks and food and then
couldn't pay for people trying to get medication for their
ailing grandmother who couldn't get the medication. I mean, it
was a real problem. And, you know, this is I think, just a
taste of things to come. Thank you, Professor Ted for teaching
us the book, industrial society and its future another fine tome
you might want to read. And I was surprised at how the
response you know, people are really like, How can this be?
How can this happen?
And it was all over Europe. Sweden was the worst.
The Netherlands go to cashless this is your problem. And then
you
know, oh, just go to the ATM. Well, how long were the lines?
They were long. There were long lines and an ATM runs out of
monies. He couldn't get any cash and it was for the weekend. I
mean, if this is not a dire Warren, and it's not like as a
lot of reporting on it here. I mean, I went looking on the
YouTubes to find this. This is a gripe of mine. Man, you if you
go look for a video of a news report. You'll get it just in
the YouTubes he's saying yeah, Visa down something like that.
It gives you his whole slew of videos and they're all from Fox
and NBC and all these online operations and not a single one
of them is an actual news report. It's just a video I hate
these videos with the with just text or worse a computer voice
reading the story. What is wrong with
that come from? I don't know people put these things up with
a computer voice Can't they talk and have a mic and
somehow they the the game the SEO to such a degree that it's
the top 100 is just all of these videos with words with music or
you know with words on the screen or with music just music?
I hate it I hate what's the point when you get the computer
voice to read you know, it's completely useless for the show.
Obviously, my biggest gripe about it, but holy moly, and I
have a clip here. This is of a UK millennial in a shop and says
about 50 seconds long
and just listen to him. Not
understanding what happened.
The Cardinals See, they don't they don't work on With our
friends from Liverpool Street, their core machines also the
work. What happens is, it goes in this says, receiving from
receiving from the server, of course, and then it says it
doesn't work. So it tries to reconnect a few times. And then
it says, not authorized. Of course, it's not the customers
card that is not rice. It's just chooses to say this wrong. And
so we say it doesn't work, we say you can try it still if you
don't, if you like. But then we try and get them to cash. Only a
few customers, they can't they don't want to pay cash because
they haven't trained to catch your stolen.
We don't know what the problem is.
We assume probably it's servers with software. We don't know
when it will end. Yeah, we don't know much about what's going
on. I know is the server or something now the internet have
to continue to work and, and, and I realized a couple things.
When the personal computer revolution started, we were
promised something, we were promised that you would be able
to have the power of a computer, in your home on your desk, and
you will be able to have it do things for you. Just creating
things that automates it. This is actually interesting that I
had that book with me on vacation to automate the boring
stuff with Python. Because if you learn how to do at least one
programming language, you can actually make almost any modern
day computer do things for you. But it does require learning a
language. And what I realized is the idea of you know, the Girl
Scouts or, you know, what's happening in Chicago, teaching
our children to code is on one hand really good because
children learn how to code but what are they learning? And, and
the realization was in education, we have nobody in
Washington, in aid, I'm just talking about America. But I
could say it's pretty broad across all governments who
understand how computers work, and we have no advocates.
Where's the open source advocate in Washington? Who is the person
that is on the education board or in the committee saying, But
Richard Stallman? Well know what it's, well, that would be one
extreme. But the other extreme is Bill Gates knows Let's have
him run the program. Or Cisco knows let's have them run the
program. Google knows let's have them run the program neath them
and all yet well, and all we Yes, it is. But they're dumb,
and morons. And what they what they're missing is that we are
teaching these children to be coding slaves, for the platform
for your apps and all this crap that have really brought us down
to a dumb level of computer usage. No app that you get today
does exactly what you want it to do. You could actually create
some program that does on your computer exactly what you want
it to do. But that's not what they're being taught. They're
being taught stupid app skills that will be great if they put
you into the factory at Google or the factory at face bag. And
we really need to have some advocates on where maybe, maybe
there is I just never see a report about it. And now Richard
Stallman is not the he's not advice I'm not advocating for,
for what he Free Software, what he's talking about, although I
think is his ideals are genuine. And it's an important part. But
just you know, we need to basics basic understanding so children
can actually harness the power of the computers and yes, even
the stupid phones are carrying around incessantly to do stuff
to do stuff that's productive and forward thinking and not
just part of the slave app. Slave pipeline. Display.
Beef. Yes. B's pet peeve of the day that you go, falling on deaf
ears as
as usual, falling on deaf ears. Yes,
exactly. It's just
bound to note good from Dave Bosman donate $20 237 cents and
his scores he's 37 means he doesn't want us to continue, but
I don't think that's what he really wants. I got to but I got
about busted and get laughing when you guys were trying to
figure out the last show what crab picking is I believe one of
you said it would be where you choose the best crabs out of a
net or trap I don't know that he said that. I think this would be
crab choosing. I grew up on the coast. My father often put out
crab pots.
Let's it let's just back it up for one second. This came out of
the combo. That there were not enough H to be visa as
apparently for cheap labor to come in to these places where
they have crab pickers which is a high it's to high skill I
think it's very it's it's hard work. It's not poorly paid is my
understanding. But there was no one else who wants to do the
job. And yeah
bullcrap. I grew up on the coast and my father often put out crab
pots, which were wired traps, he caught crabs using a fish head,
and a roach hotel kind of entrance. After we boiled the
crabs, you broke open the bottle, the bodies, removed the
guts and started crab picking, which involves pulling out very
small pieces of crab meat out of very small chambers. You have to
consistently break up the crab body to get to the very small
pieces crab of crab meat, it's a pain in the ass and that's why
no one in this country wants to do it. A few months and I've
gotten to this note from other people saying that's what it is.
It's just picking crab like nobody wants to do it. Okay,
sure they got work I apparently or they'd rather be homeless. A
few months ago, my friend who owns a Cessna 182 Hey, my
favorite is actually a privacy story. Does he want me not to
read it? No, I think he just wants you just as a privacy
story. When he that's for you, Adam. He picked me up in my
house in his car, and he drove me to the airport where he flew
us to Hilton Head South Carolina. He filed an IFR flight
plan with the FAA where he declared two souls on board. in
Hilton Head his wife picked us up in her car and drove us to an
apartment she had rented in her name. Over the weekend. We went
out to eat a few times and I've always paid cash. I never used
my credit card to trip home was the same in reverse her car to
the airport plane back no mention to my name to the FAA
and his car back to my home.
This there's the first time I'd visit Hilton Head and two weeks
later, I started receiving junk mail from timeshare properties.
Yes, I had my iPhone with me and yes, I have the Facebook app.
Creepy.
Okay. This was another one of my rev revelations. Here's what you
must at all times do if you've ever been to the mall. What you
need to do is turn off your Wi Fi when you're out of your house
and I'll explain why. If you ever been to the mall we have
that here in Texas. I've seen it in New Jersey, they have this
outfit. It's called some name. It's like Tommy Wi Fi or
something where Pete Weiss like some guy's name, and you can get
free Wi Fi in the mall. And like oh, this is great. I've got free
Wi Fi and you connect to it and I don't know if if you have to
put your name and information in there but you connect the
beaconing systems within retail become so sophisticated that if
you are in the toothpaste aisle with your iPhone, you are likely
to get crest ads later on somewhere because it they
triangulate your Wi Fi right down to where you are in the
aisle. And that's what's happening. You're at a timeshare
guaranteed there were some Wi Fi beacon that was snooping around
there's somebody we've got his his iPhone ID can we connect
that to face bag or some one of the one of the other millions of
trackers out there. And that's how you're going to get these
ads. I think that is really what is going on. And a lot of this
is Wi Fi so you got to keep your Wi
Fi off. And he finishes with thank you for everything you
guys do. I cannot begin to tell you how much your podcast means
to me even though I put the 37 cents on means to me I hope I
can thank you in person someday but if not, please know there

We love to sustain love the
sustainers and if you'd like to show you might love the show.
And I picked up one from under 50 from Sir Schumi mercenary of
the race tracker wanting to share. Night combat pays off. I
just donated 3338 to thank you for the good karma that I got
from becoming a knight I donated previously to gain karma for
winning races in the Pirelli World Challenge. And our shop
just took part in our first Pirelli World Challenge race at
Lime Rock Park and Connecticut I actually drove there once. I
think I got my starting license there but MTV days, and we
stormed pole position Turks took first on race one and third on
race two due to mechanical setback our odds at best were
for a top 10 finish. But somehow we managed to beat some of the
best GT four cars in the country to get the top spot. I can't
help but think this is in no small part due to no agenda
karma. I have included a few pics of our car, which is
gorgeous. I don't see any. No agenda. Stickers I
sent him a note back asking him to put a new agenda sticker
somewhere on the car. He says
I've included a few pics of our car there's a mandatory series
sponsor that we have to have on all the cars it's none other
than the pew pew guys themselves CrowdStrike
who aren't going to know agenda sticker right?
Right under those aren't the pew pew guys, but we hate them just
as much. Yeah, definitely put it underneath there. If anyone's
interested to see our performance it airs on CBS
Sports June 6 at 9pm Eastern Time, or just search the
YouTubes for World Challenge round five or six GTS class
thank you again. Hopefully more good results to come from Road
America. Thank you for your Kertzer shoo me, mercenary the
racetrack. Thank you very much. And we love that we've always
had a large contingent of producers in racing teams. We've
got the motorcycle racing, we have the no agenda racing. I
don't know what happened to those guys. I think this is a
different class though. The GTS cars. That's a real sort of
unfamiliar with the class is one of those s CC a I'm sure.
Yeah. But they're curious. There's short that like little
short LeMans cars kind of what they look like I like him. It's
nice.
It's fun to drive. Yeah,
exactly. Come to Austin to Kota Circuit of the Americas. Let's
drive. Some notes here from Eric the show. Well, there's no
agenda meet up June 8 in Chattanooga. Contact at Tom
Novak on no agenda. social.com aka Tom rad Tom Manav. And we
look forward to that and I, again, I'm going to reiterate my
pledge for a Texas meet up very soon in the Austin area. And
thank you all again. We've got some jobs, karma and of course,

And we look forward to the support we can get for
Thursday's program as we come back with more deconstruction.
Let's see.
Where you go on, I want to go I do want to read a note that
refers to the some earlier points that you are making
regarding or one of our guys was making regarding listening in.
This is from Keith, Ray, and John and Adam. First of all in
the morning. I haven't written for a while I've been devoted
listeners this to Thursday, I had an experience in the car
yesterday while listening to Audible. And why it may just be
an incredible coincidence, it might be something very
disturbing. I had my cars and kids in the car and I decided to
start listening to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthur's Court. In the early part of the chapter one when the
Yankee finds himself back in time meaning the night for the
first time, he explains that he is from Hartford, Connecticut.
And of course the night says he has never heard of such a place.
Now for the weird part. Within five to 10 seconds of the word,
Hartford, Connecticut being spoken. I get a call from a
telemarketer from Hartford, Connecticut. I cannot remember
what they were selling me as I mistakenly hung up before
getting details. I did go back and check my Verizon bills. I
have no other calls from Connecticut this last 12 months.
And I live in New Orleans by the way. Maybe it's nothing but
maybe the cross pollination advertising is even further
along than I thought.
Hmm, yeah, there you go. Well,
they're listening people,
the solution is to go OTG off the grid. And I'm working now on
publishing a document that will help you with this to some
degree. But CNBC, and I'm sure this is just to me, I you know,
they it's all about stock stuff. But they've had a number of
interviews regarding smartphone addiction. And I have two clips
here which I'd like to share. Yeah, this is I have a follow up
clip. Yeah. And they have this, of course, is something I've
been looking at you now have also seen this, you've witnessed
certain in particular women really have the addiction that
this first one is, well, we already have. We saw that the
Googles came out and they were coming up with your digital
wellness. So you can see what apps you use too much.
Buddies think of this as a tether. Well, oh, that's a very
commanding walk around my folding my phones that well, I'm
talking to the women out there who do this. Don't you think
this is like a tether just like you're a slave, you must be have
a thing around your neck and a long leash? Well,
addiction is a serious problem. You can be addicted to gambling,
You can be addicted to drugs, You can be addicted to many
things. And this is I truly believe in addiction. I think
Silicon Valley, the tech companies know this, and they
may not have set out to to make it that way. But they certainly
discovered it. And we actually have a clip in a minute from a
former Google Design ethicist,
will actually then I think my clip should play first. Okay,
which one is it? This is using kids. I'll
bet. Yeah, I think so. Maybe
you can take a look at how they're dealing with their kids.
In Silicon Valley devices are an essential part of daily life.
But many of the tech Titans creating these products choose
to power down when they leave the office. Following industry
giants like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, who restricted their own
kids access to technology at home. Pierre Laurent has worked
for companies including Microsoft and Intel. He says the
tech industry designs products to hook users. Do you think the
average parent is aware of that danger? No, I don't think the
parents are aware of that Pierre and his wife Monica became
concerned that their three children would miss out on real
life experiences while on their devices. Researchers are still
learning more about how technology affects kids. But
some early studies of heavy tech users show potential links to a
rise in teen suicide rates, addiction anxiety and loss of
social skills. None of the three children played video games or
watch TV, and they didn't get cell phones until they were
teenagers. Their 13 year old daughter Maya spends her free
time knitting and playing in the backyard. Do you ever miss
technology?
Really? No. The only thing I might miss technology for is
listening to music or an audio book, every parent is really
struggling with how to reap the benefits of technology while
minimizing some of the risks.
Caroline Nora is the senior parenting editor for Common
Sense Media, a nonprofit that studies the effect of media and
technology on kids. They recommend paying close attention
to kids demeanor, while using their devices, and creating a
schedule with guidelines on the types of tech activities they
can do. And for how long for Monica and Pierre The hope is
that a tech Free Childhood will lead to more balance later in
life.
Young children need to grow in a different environment that
hasn't have that much technology
in it. Jamie Lucas, CBS News, Silicon Valley.
Yes, spot on as we were traveling, you know, you you got
some downtime at the airport, and you're just observing. And
you'll see parents to shut their kids up here. Take the iPad
here, take my phone. And you can have all this hoity toity we're
going to let me watch what our kids are doing. But actually,
the old adage holds true in this one, we need an updated version
of this bleep doing shows full I can tell Come on. She's not full
brush shit. That's the wrong one. Damn, it failed. What we
need is I learned it by watching you. Okay, that's what we need.
Because what's happening is the children are watching your
behavior. And they're emulating that it was actually very funny.
Clip you played.
I don't know. It was wrong. It was wrong. It was very. So we're
at the beach and I Okay, let me take a selfie because I've got
the Nokia E 71. It has a 3.2 whopping 3.2 megapixel camera
when you want to need when you want to take a selfie, yet hold
it reversed because there's no front facing camera, there's
actually a little mirror, one of those, like a little bulbous
type thing, so you can just see what you have in the shot. But
it's uh, you know what? I'm talking about a little mirror?
Yeah,
pretty much a mirror. Yeah. So it's Yeah, but it's looking at
the screen somehow. It's
not looking at the screen. Yeah, you're just you're actually
looking at a mirror. There's a mirror on the back of the phone
next to the camera, a very tiny, bulbous piece of shiny metal.
And you use that to see okay, I'm kind of in the shot. I see
you. And then I saw the pictures Take my hand at the Tina. And
the first thing she does is she tries to pinch and zoom on the
screen. Like, no, that really won't work.
Doesn't work on half to smartphones half the time
either. Oh,
that's true. That's true. But this addiction is a is a growing
problem. And Apple I guess has their Worldwide Developers
Conference. Is that today's this weekend or Monday, I don't know
exactly when and and they will be coming out. So we're the
Google's have their digital wellness, Apple will be bringing
you digital health
today, Apple and others with smartwatches. They're tracking
every step how we sleep. You know, if we're our heartbeats,
and those things we understand,
I might point out, I might point out this guy is an app
developer. So he's, he's definitely we are we're, we have
to be careful, we have to help out. But listen to how all the
money really is
collected really well with the technology. And these companies
reflect that information to us to live a bit better physical
life, they have all the data. And Apple is at the core of this
and so does Google who across all the platforms understand our
digital lives, and they should be able to give us back a pretty
detailed but not overly detailed view of a day in the life of
this.
I love that pretty detailed but not too detailed. It's pretty
detailed. Just a little just give us a little bit please oh
please overlords,
a user. So what are your physical habits? What are your
digital habits so they you can then see it and then understand
if you're doing what you want to do? Or if you need to adjust
something?
I'm in favor of us having the same data on ourselves that the
companies have on us certainly, but it seems like their solution
is also part of the problem. Should we be relying on
technology to tell us when we've had too much technology? Or do
we need to just sort of physically put the phone down
when we get home and talk to the kids and actually physically put
the thing away without technology telling us we need
to I think it's I think it's a matter of personal choice and
family choice. And so there's different ways of dealing with
these this situation. You know, if people decide they want to
always have devices at the table around at the family table, so
be it you know, I'm you know, I'm not going to be I'm not
going to go Tipper Gore here on this, but at the same time we
need to have the tools so that our families and our
individuals, right to be able to, you know, maintain and
monitor what's going on and and try to strike the right balance.
And so yes, I do think that in certain times, the devices
should go away. And other times the devices should be there,
because they're powerful tools. We cannot, we don't have the
tools to control our environment today. And if you're an addict,
the best thing you can do is get out of the environment. But
these tools are very powerful and very important for education
for our work lives or livelihoods, as well as for
doing transactions and living in the world. So we need to be able
to wrest control back to the users so they can decide what
they want to do with their lives and what their families
Yeah, good luck with that. And I think the key of that was, yeah,
we should have the same have your drug dealer help you get
off the drugs? I'm sure that's gonna work really well. This
clip is from that we've played clips from the Common Sense
Media guys before I think the main guy is Jim Steyer. He's,
he's an apple investor. And one of his group is Tristan Harris,
who was this former design ethicist at Google. And this is
a little longer clip, but they start off with the with the and
I guess there's three different bills now being proposed in
California to stop the addiction, which really, you
need to take a whole different tack tact, I think, to stop
someone who's addicted to something, and the first day,
and the first thing they want is, the bots need to be labeled,
you need to know if you're conversing with a bot on social
network. And from there, it gets into some of these addiction
issues.
So if we need this to be an honest, it's about the public
square the integrity of the public square, the idea is to
clearly label just like Blade Runner, right? You don't want
human impersonation where you're think you're talking to a human
being, but it's actually a robot, and he could be a robot,
you need to be able to actually clearly label that he's a robot,
if he is one. And there are three, there's really three
pieces of legislation. The bot bill in California is
transparency and democracy. So you can tell that this message
was sent to you by a bot based in Russia or whatever that
should be required everywhere. Number two, research.
Whose job is it to verify that there are humans on the platform
and that the robots are correct company? Because in the past,
okay, it's the past companies, Facebook, just waiting for
whoever's quoting,
nope, that vote. That's baloney. We will not accept that. And the
law is written so that they are held responsible for identifying
that the Markey bill is a research bill, hey, we're
conducting the biggest social experiment in real time on our
kids and on ourselves when it comes to cell phone addiction,
and behavior, and there's no research. So that's just a basic
research bill. That should have been done years ago, but it
needs to be done. The third major piece of legislation we
have is a bill that would regulate the internet of things,
you know, talking Barbie, your toaster that takes your data,
that's Alexa, Google Home, all these devices in your home in
your kitchen, that are sucking up your data that should be
made, so that the public has the ability to decide what data they
give up, and to have control and express consent over how they
give up that data. Those are the beginning of a thoughtful,
common sense regulation of this area. Look, that tech companies
provide great benefits to society, when used appropriately
and wisely. But there are real downsides. And everybody in your
audience knows that because they're addicted to their
phones, and concerned about some of the fallout. So what we're
calling for is a more balanced approach. And there is a role
for common sense legislation and regulation. When it comes to the
broader tech industry.
Tristan is somebody who used to work at Google somebody who's a
Silicon Valley insider, why are you taking this position? Now?
I actually genuinely view this as an existential threat.
There's a long explanation why but I've been raising these
issues at Google since 2013, when I made a presentation about
basically how we as Google have a moral responsibility in
shaping what a billion people's attention where it goes, right?
And right shape people's life, and you're shaping their
thoughts and thoughts precede action. So you're really shaping
society, you're shaping culture, you're shaping whether people
have the relationships they would have intended to have,
whether they sleep or not, you're shaping elections,
there's an entire set of consequences when you shape
people's attention through design. And I was calling
attention to the fact that we have these cognitive biases, and
the technology is often exploiting how our minds work.
And so we have to get ahead of this because we've seen that the
incentives of tech companies which are to maximize attention
are not the same as what we need in our public square democracy.
In fact, they're fundamentally misaligned, we have to get very
serious that advertising is misaligned with democracy when
it comes to technology
platforms. So two things about this
one is that you know, the the of the dream, the promise of you're
gonna get the right ad at the right time that's tailored for
you that besides the fact that that really hasn't happened,
unless, of course, you know, you're you're being spied on and
you visit a condo place and all of a sudden you get in your
timeshare ads. I just lost my train of thought, Oh, yes. The
ads that we receive aren't just an ad that says, hey, buy this
product. The ads themselves are filled with tracking, which is
you know, you can get the Washington Whopper Whopper
Whopper, which I don't read anymore because of the paywall
of screw up. I don't care. It's hard to get the news, it's hard
to scrape it to have you can buy a subscription, you could have
different subscriptions. So like, oh, well, we'll give you
an ad that has no third party trackers. So you're paying for
it, you get an ad, which is okay, you get a newspaper, you
get an ad, but the ad is tracking you now, that I think
is a basic problem and that needs to be addressed. Well, I
think that's what brave addresses
it does. It certainly does. And I love the brave browser for
that very reason. But here is my I discovered a like big
discovery. But I read something on vacation and it freaked me
out. Amazon is now going into the advertising business. In
fact, without us knowing it, they already do a billion
dollars a quarter in advertising. This is I now am
I'm a little freaked out because the profile Amazon has on me.
Besides having all my payment information, being able to get
my credit card details from Equifax, whoever else will have
a visa directly, I don't know, to understand my purchase
behavior, which all you really need is the credit card
statement to know what someone does. But they know what I buy
on Amazon. They know what movies I watch on Amazon Prime. They
know if I listened to Audible. They know what books I read. Now
that they've bought the whole foods, they know what I eat. And
now they're going into advertising. Fuck these guys. No
way. I'm out. I'm out of this. I gotta go to cash. And I can't
but
they've been they've been advertising for as far as I can
tell yours didn't know this. But they do a search. It always says
sponsored products and they have two or three
budgets. But they're they're going to do an ad network if
they're not already. So not just stuff to buy on Amazon. But you
can go to them because they have complete profiles on everybody
very
detailed. extremely detailed. This is a big problem. I can't
be a part of that. Give up on it.
I'm going to That's what I'm saying. Of course I'm going to
give up on it. And what should be in the book.
Now I want to say somebody that last clip you played, okay.
First of all, I think it'd be begins with just like Blade
Runner, which immediately tells me this guy's an idiot
they mentioned
his bots. Yeah, we got to do something about them. i By the
way, got one of those calls again. I wish I had to record it
because I was but I was upstairs
of the robot girl. And
this is not as good as the original robot girl I've heard
but this was okay. And I asked her she was a bot and she says
Oh, you get some bogus excuse that what she said, kinda and
then she I said, Well, you're a bot. I said when I said the
second time that she just hung up on me. Ah, so I gotta
remember not to do that. Anyway. What I'll do instead is ask
personal questions. What do you look like what are you wearing?
Hey, Baby,
what are you wearing? Bought? So
this guy with this bot thing he said I think it's just he says
it somebody did kind of mention how you enforce this. How
important is it that so some bot girl calls me up on a phone or
I'm I'm got one of those most of them tech companies have these
Hi, I'm your automated you know helper. I don't see this being
any sort of a big deal ever and then you have enforcement who's
going to enforce it? You're gonna get it set up of an agency
to have bought cops are you going to do and then what
penalties there's no penalties the whole thing is bullcrap.
Find some males to bitch about.
Well, of course. Yeah, that's that.
That's what that was. I just put that in there because it kind of
led into everything. But yeah, of course it's bull crap. I
mean, for all I know you're a bot. I don't know if I'm talking
to a real person. I
could be a bot. I will hang up if you do have being a bot. Hey,
John,
what are you wearing?
Hey. Anyway, so when I say OTG that's what this is about. We
have to give up the phones. And my my going OTG was not so much
about it was about addiction, really. And I realized that, you
know, all these little pings and blips and blobs and stuff
popping up and it's just, it's just impossible when you have a
phone that won't do that for you and you can look all you want
but it's not going to you're not going to give you the latest
update and that That is how you break addiction. You've got to
quit, you got to go cold turkey, you got to go all the way. And
that is just another one of our life saving tips here at the no
agenda show. And for Thursday, I have some get to it today, I got
some info on the Puerto Rico deaths that I want to discuss,
like at a short short clip, you want to do that I'm
playing the end of show music, you want to play the clip, it's
very short.
Which one says Puerto
Rico did deaths?
Well, if we're going to do that, then I have to do the one I said
I'm just saying I'm going to
see what you said. What? A 10 second clip you could actually
play with the outro. But
no, but let's do this on Thursday. Okay, and then we'll
play your 10 second clip on Thursday.
Now I do have I want to talk on my Thursday show I want to talk
to about the NoCo and negotiations are on again off
