Hawaii Five-O Bad Science and The Jester

John C. Dvorak critiques the "disgusting" lack of realism in the television show *Hawaii Five-O*, specifically regarding tire tread identification and a 105-year-old spy. The discussion shifts to "The Jester," an alleged intelligence asset on Twitter who is promoting an AI-powered unrest predictor. The hosts suspect the predictor is actually a native advertisement for IBM Watson and the show *Mr. Robot*.
