Executive Producer Donations, De-douching and Karma
A series of high-value donations are acknowledged, including $1,000 from Janice Hall and an anonymous donor seeking "moving karma." Listeners are "de-douched" upon their first contribution, and various forms of "karma" are distributed. The segment reinforces the value-for-value model, thanking producers for their financial support following the newsletter technical failure.
Dave LaDouche, Aftermath Film and Reverend Manning
A donation from Dave LaDouche promotes the film "Aftermath" starring Anthony Michael Hall. The segment includes audio clips from Reverend Manning and Al Sharpton, used as part of the show's recurring soundboard elements.
The hosts discuss the film *Aftermath*, starring Anthony Michael Hall and Chris Penn, which was promoted by a donor. Dvorak also gives a glowing review of the movie *Birdman*, starring Michael Keaton, calling it "astonishingly entertaining" and suggesting that anyone who doesn't like it is "soulless."
A No Agenda producer announces the release of the film Aftermath, featuring the final performance of Chris Penn alongside Tony Danza and Michael Anthony Hall. The movie is described as a gritty exploration of human devolution influenced by money and power, drawing comparisons to Reservoir Dogs.
Michael Zelina, MTV 30th Anniversary Exclusion
Producer Michael Zelina re-ups his knighthood, prompting a discussion about Adam Curry's legacy at MTV as the network's 30th anniversary approaches on August 1st. Curry notes that he is effectively "persona non grata" at the network and expects to be erased from their historical retrospectives, specifically regarding the Headbangers Ball. The hosts joke about Curry's exclusion from official music history despite his significant role in early cable music television.
The show acknowledges financial support from producers, including the establishment of the "278 Club" for donors contributing that specific dollar amount. Several listeners have forwarded domain names like justtakemuyedicine.com and ratoutyourbuddy.com to the show's website. There is a discussion regarding whether these redirects help or hurt "Google juice" and search engine optimization for the program.
Fast Food Chains and War Profiteering in Afghanistan
The hosts discuss the presence of American fast-food chains like Burger King, Pizza Hut, and Orange Julius on military bases in Bagram and Kandahar. They reference a blog post by Sergeant Major Michael Hall regarding the removal of these "non-essential luxuries" to prioritize combat resupply. The discussion frames these concessions as evidence of corporate war profiteering.
