Topic: Leaf Blowers

NPR reports on record COVID-19 cases in states without mask mandates, including Tulsa County, Oklahoma. The hosts also mock NPR's lifestyle segments, such as an in-depth investigation into the negative health effects of leaf blowers and the history of the American lawn. They characterize the network's content as negative and disconnected from the needs of daily commuters.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 605 of the No Agenda show from Austin, Texas, and Northern Silicon Valley. They discuss the annoyance of morning leaf blowers, comparing the workers to Soviet-era "babushkas" who move dirt around without accomplishing anything. The hosts prepare to dive into the day's media analysis, referencing political figures like Obama, Clinton, and the Koch brothers.
