Noodle Gun Targets, Paw Patrol and Howard Stern
The "Noodle Gun" of cancel culture has targeted various entities, including the cartoon Paw Patrol for featuring a police dog and Howard Stern for past use of blackface. Other targets include John Cleese's Fawlty Towers and a Berkeley College of Music apology for allowing police to use their restrooms.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak, Medicated Pete, New Jersey Mexican Party
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session, with Curry reporting from New Jersey near the Garden State outlet mall. Curry describes attending an annual Mexican party hosted by Jack Ponti, where he met Medicated Pete from the Howard Stern Show. The two discussed their shared experiences with Tourette syndrome and the potential effects of medical marijuana on the condition.
Media's Role in Disqualifying Candidates and Class Divisions
The hosts and Matt Taibbi discuss how the media historically "disqualified" candidates like Howard Dean and Gary Hart for minor gaffes or scandals. Taibbi reflects on the class divisions between "sanctimoniously smug" coastal elites and "flyover America." The hosts note that No Agenda listeners were not surprised by the Trump phenomenon because they track these cultural shifts.
Senator Tom Cotton is identified as a protégé of neoconservative Bill Kristol, who is reportedly promoting Cotton as a potential vice-presidential candidate. The hosts discuss rumors regarding Cotton's personal life, including allegations from "Brian the Gay Crusader" about Cotton being spotted at a D.C. gay bar and appearing on the app Grindr. They speculate that the Democratic party may use these allegations as a "Trojan Horse" to disrupt Republican voter support during a future campaign.
E. Howard Hunt Confession, JFK Conspiracy Theories
Jesse Ventura discusses the deathbed confession of Watergate figure E. Howard Hunt, who allegedly admitted to involvement in the JFK assassination. The hosts explore the lack of mainstream media coverage regarding Hunt's claims and his son St. John Hunt's efforts to publicize the story.
The 1996 Australian gun buyback program, led by Prime Minister John Howard, is reviewed. The government levied a special tax to fund the purchase of 700,000 firearms following the Port Arthur massacre. While proponents claim the reform ended mass shootings, the hosts question the long-term cultural impact and the "de-balling" of the Australian national spirit.
The hosts reconcile after their earlier argument regarding the Howard Stern interview. One host apologizes for the oversight in not mentioning their company, Mevio, and explains the pressure of the live interview format. They prepare to play the full Jon Stewart montage for their radio affiliates.
