Apple Watch Moon Phase Feature and Secret Moon Base Claims
A clip from Macbreak Weekly features Leo Laporte using the Apple Watch moon phase complication to mock Adam Curry's theories about secret lunar bases. Laporte jokes that the watch proves there is no US military base on the dark side of the moon, while Curry retorts that any base would actually be Israeli.
A discussion regarding being "banned" from the TWiT network reveals that Leo Laporte allegedly felt the show was being taken "off the rails" and away from advertiser-friendly content. The ban was purportedly triggered by a refusal to accept the official story of the moon landing. Other community updates include encouraging listeners to get their ham radio licenses and acknowledging the "1776" comic.
