00:00 Boomer equals winner. Looking for our share of some USAID and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas. Capital of the drone star state In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where there's nothing better than pickled cauliflower...I'm John C. DuBois It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Can always count on a food tip at the top of the show
00:39 Indeed. Pickled cauliflower. Do you pickle it yourself? No doubt! No, I don't actually pick my own turnips but it don't do the cauliflower. You pickle your own turnips?! Oh pickled turnips are the best. Okay very nice. Hey John this was hands-down The worst television week in American broadcast history. I know, and these networks decided to actually interrupt their own programming and put this debate on TV so you had to go find a station that was showing something that he could watch. And the shows were boring! Yesterday was particularly bad
01:28 The whole impeachment hearings which just dragged on, although nicely back timed by Chairman Schiff into the 8 o'clock news hour. He did that perfectly so the pre-debate shows could start everywhere Oh my god! And then the snooze fest of a debate It's like, this is so wrong. This is ruining television and even the debate just for a second This format if we can just talk as executives this format is wrong it's not a debate It's a bunch of news models asking questions to each candidate What was the deal with four women and no men? I think that was an obvious statement
02:14 But that didn't bother me that much. It bothered me? You know, it's like these candidates...it's dumb! You just you get a 45 seconds to follow up answer questions and they just ask different questions of everybody and once in awhile there's a little bit of interaction but if you want this to succeed if you want people to care we have to have the candidates do some challenges you know like three-legged race or build a bike together as a team That now that would be a good show. That's what I want us That's where I'll see some leadership, but no just the same put Gordon Ramsay in front of the gas Have him cooking exactly it cook off chopped You're off you've been and maybe do a diary room Where the can is well? I really didn't like what Tulsi did to me that was just not so nice But okay all soldier on mean this with this is how you do a show
03:11 And they still got the music and dum-dum-dum, the debate. No one cares! This is not how people watch video anymore Just my opinion but God I mean spice it up a bit If only they would give us a little bit of control over the production of this show It would be so much better Everybody would be watching Well, and it's the trend. You know we got comedians running to show that you guys have to go through a labyrinth of punching bags and things hitting them and swinging... American gladiator or American ninja! There is one that is better than that called knocked out or punch out. Oh yeah, and its really violent because those big padded things hit you pretty hard they knock you over. Yeah, they knock into your drink. Now with those guy going through that would be great That would be good exactly
04:06 Exactly. So where do you want? I think we should just start with this television week so we can get through it and maybe we'll do it in order of appearance starting with the continuation of the hearings. Well, okay, I'll tell you what I have. I have no clips from the hearings because Because I'm going to take a look at the transcripts do some analysis of the end of the days and things like that And then maybe important may be have something for Sunday. Although, I doubt it important analysis There's no important analysis So I do all my clips are from the debates and there's just a couple just a ridiculed them two people that were there although I do have the Tulsi
