X Advertising Glitches, Listener Feedback on Language
The hosts open the show discussing strange advertisements on X (formerly Twitter) promoting butter on ice cream. A listener provides feedback via a donation message, criticizing the use of sanitized language like "bullcrap" and urging the hosts to use natural profanity. The segment establishes the show's value-for-value model and addresses the demographic of the audience.

00:00 Physical activity is now a medical condition. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore Act. It's Sunday August 31st 2025 this is your award winning Kimmel Nation Media assassination episode 1795 This Is No Agenda Working on the holidays And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry and for Northern Silicon Valley where i keep wondering why X or Twitter keeps sending me ads to use butter on ice cream? I'm John C. Dvorak. Wait a minute, so you're getting ads to use butter? Ads?! What is the ad for if it's an ad? I don't click on it. I refuse to click on it! It's stupid! It keeps...it has this little...It's an obvious ad that keeps cropping up. Ooh here's why you should put butter on ice cream
00:55 I'm sure other people have seen this. I don't see any ads on X. Are you paying not to get ads? No, no, I got the blue checkmark just because of my status. So here's what I get on X alright so you know whenever I fire off the bat signal like send out the tweet and boostitude and I slash the x and I whine on the Blue Cry And then I go to X because Darren always has a cute way of retweeting, reposting whatever we call it. So I'll repost his repost and right there is from Crumulent Corpse
01:36 One-liner you make this show my favorite hate listen you insufferable douche John's great though Insufferable douche that's a great line. I've gotten some amazing messages, this is another one From Jeff. Adam, I've been listening to your show every week for at least 10 years and been donating $15 a month for at least ten years with auto pay! You obviously have my full attention if you're this is a true value-for-value person. Yes, so? I finally need to give you this feedback please stop using terms like bullcrap just... I'm the one who does that that's me Just swear and talk like normal people talk
02:24 It is unlikely that young kids are listening to your show. That's not true, we know for a fact that young kids listen to the show, lot of disease! It completely dulls the tone when you sanitize language in that way and it sounds forced and awkward I'm telling ya this guy is friggin nuts Every other podcast out there uses colorful language which is part of the fun of podcasts. John sneaks in an F bomb once in a while and honestly it's refreshing I don't even know why I show up to the show you're just the guy everybody loves you you're the guy that gets to a certain age you get in there yeah be 61 on
