Oakland Zoo Gondola Glitch, Clip of the Day
A "digital glitch" caused visitors at the Oakland Zoo to be suspended in Swiss-made, state-of-the-art gondolas for 30 minutes. The hosts highlight the irony of a high-tech failure occurring in the heart of Silicon Valley. They play a "glitch" themed song and award the report a "borderline clip of the day" for its repetitive use of the word.
Venice canals have reportedly drained to mud, leaving gondolas stranded in sludge. Despite the visual nature of the event, mainstream media coverage remains sparse, with only the Daily Mail and The Sun providing reports. Speculation suggests the lack of coverage stems from the event contradicting global warming narratives regarding rising sea levels, though some reports attribute the low water levels to historic low tides and lunar cycles.
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program from FEMA Region 6 and Northern Silicon Valley. They observe rail cars and soybean gondolas stacking up near Dvorak's location. The hosts prepare to discuss the upcoming six-week cycle and recent news clips.
