# Tolerized > A week of geopolitical friction and cultural upheaval sees the White House navigate Iranian missile strikes while Hollywood reels from a scathing Golden Globes monologue. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1206 - **Published:** 2020-01-12 - **Length:** 2h 47m - **Topics:** Tolerized, Flight 752, [Golden Globes](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/golden-globes.md), Borden Bankruptcy, [Starlink](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/starlink.md), Impossible Pork, Drone Swarms - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1206-tolerized ## About this episode President Donald Trump addressed the nation following Iranian missile strikes on US bases in Iraq, an event marked by the President's visible physical strain and the accidental creation of the term "tolerized." The strikes, which targeted facilities in response to the Qasem Soleimani assassination, were preceded by an FAA no-fly zone and reports of advanced warnings provided to General Douglas MacGregor and US intelligence. This geopolitical tension coincides with the tragic crash of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, which Western intelligence suggests was downed by an Iranian missile. Legislative maneuvers saw the White House strip an NDAA amendment that would have blocked funding for such offensive strikes, while Representative Ilhan Omar and Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed for a War Powers Resolution. In the media sphere, Ricky Gervais delivered a polarizing Golden Globes monologue targeting Hollywood's elite, drawing comparisons to Paddy Chayefsky’s 1978 Oscar rebuke. Meanwhile, Nobel economist Paul Krugman faced scrutiny for a bizarre claim regarding a compromised IP address, and Ivanka Trump’s CES keynote on skills-based hiring sparked debate over the necessity of traditional degrees versus innate coding talent. Consumer technology at CES 2020 introduced the Charmin RollBot and Impossible Pork, while mystery drone swarms over Colorado and Nebraska continue to baffle local law enforcement. The dairy industry faces a crisis as Borden Dairy files for bankruptcy, struggling against the rise of plant-based alternatives often labeled as "nut slurry." In a final nod to the digital age, the US Army has officially banned TikTok on government devices due to mounting security concerns regarding data privacy and foreign influence. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Shifting to current events, the hosts claim credit for recent rains in Australia, attributing the weather change to their use of "precision" rain sticks. They acknowledge that some of the rain mistakenly hit Indonesia instead of the fire-ravaged regions.

Australian Arson Arrests and Al Qaeda "Inspire" Magazine (1:58:09–2:03:51) Nearly 200 people have been arrested in Australia for deliberately starting bushfires, leading to speculation that "climate activists" may be committing arson to prove the dangers of global warming. A 2012 report is referenced regarding Al Qaeda's *Inspire* magazine, which provided instructions on starting forest fires as a form of "pyro-terrorism." The hosts argue that the media ignores arson evidence to maintain the climate change narrative.

Shelby County Tennessee Podcast Production Contract (2:03:52–2:06:03) Shelby County commissioners in Tennessee approved a $110,000 annual contract with the Kazukian Network to produce and market county podcasts. One commissioner voted against the deal, noting that local competitors offer similar services for a fraction of the price. The hosts mock the "high-end" marketing language used to justify the expensive government contract.

Family Guy Podcast Parody and Casper Mattress Ads (2:06:04–2:08:20) The animated series *Family Guy* aired a segment parodying the "True Crime" podcast genre, featuring poor sound quality and excessive advertisements for Casper mattresses and MeUndies. The hosts praise the show's accuracy in depicting the current state of podcast monetization. They note that the parody even includes a reference to the "No Agenda" show's donation model.

Podcast Advertising Limits and Pharmaceutical Side Effects (2:08:20–2:11:40) The podcast industry's reliance on a small pool of "direct response" advertisers like Squarespace is viewed as a limitation for long-term growth. To reach the scale of traditional media, podcasts would need to attract pharmaceutical and automotive ad spend, which is currently hindered by "cancel culture." The hosts discuss the psychological impact of constant pharmaceutical ads on television, which they believe can induce the very symptoms they claim to treat.

Second Donation Segment and Black Sock Church (2:11:41–2:17:48) The hosts conduct a second round of donor thank-yous, including Sir Jellyhead and Rene DuPont. A donor from Meppel, Netherlands, prompts a discussion about the "Black Sock Church," a conservative religious sect in the region. Another donor requests "rain stick karma" for the Australian fires, leading to a debate about the ethics of "over-shaking" the weather-altering instruments.

Global No Agenda Meetups and Tune Man Tour (2:17:53–2:21:55) A schedule of upcoming listener meetups is announced, including events in Beirut, Lebanon, and Amman, Jordan, as part of the "Tune Man Tour" by Jesse Coy Nelson. Local meetups are also planned for Austin, Charlotte, Long Island, and New York City. The hosts encourage listeners to organize their own events to foster "non-triggering" conversation among the "No Agenda" community.

Fox News "Post-Humorous" Gaffe and Childhood Mispronunciations (2:21:57–2:23:36) A Fox News reporter mistakenly used the word "post-humorous" instead of "posthumous" when discussing the legacy of Qasem Soleimani. This leads to a lighthearted discussion about common childhood mispronunciations, such as pronouncing "chaos" as "chouse." The hosts reflect on how certain words are difficult to learn through reading alone without hearing them spoken.

Stink Bug Epidemic and Maryland Weather Anomalies (2:23:37–2:26:00) A listener report from Western Maryland describes a massive infestation of brown marmorated stink bugs, which first arrived in the US via Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1998. The report also notes strange weather patterns, including 30-degree temperature swings within hours and high winds. The hosts speculate on whether these anomalies are related to regional weather modification experiments.

CNN Settles Lawsuit with Nick Sandmann (2:26:01–2:26:42) CNN has settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Nick Sandmann, one of the Covington Catholic High School students involved in a viral 2019 incident at the Lincoln Memorial. The hosts express disappointment that the settlement prevents a public discovery process, which might have revealed internal CNN biases. Sandmann continues to pursue legal action against other media outlets including the Washington Post.

Borden Dairy Bankruptcy and "Nut Slurry" Competition (2:26:43–2:28:13) Borden Dairy has become the second major US milk producer to file for bankruptcy, citing the rise of plant-based alternatives. The hosts refer to these products as "nut slurry" and discuss the potential health risks of excessive soy consumption, including hormonal imbalances. They lament the decline of the traditional dairy industry in favor of processed substitutes.

Black News Channel Launch and "Cheddar" News (2:28:14–2:30:54) The Black News Channel (BNC) is set to launch in February to coincide with Black History Month, co-founded by former Republican Congressman J.C. Watts. The hosts compare the new venture to "Cheddar," a millennial-focused news network they find unprofessional. They question whether BNC will offer a unique perspective or follow the standard "Dimension B" media narrative.

Penzey's Spices Gift and Oil Pulling Benefits (2:30:55–2:33:24) The hosts discuss a wedding gift of Penzey's Spices, which includes a large variety of blends and salts. This leads to a conversation about "oil pulling," an ancient dental hygiene practice involving swishing oil in the mouth to remove toxins. One host describes it as a "mouth douche" that can prevent tooth decay and reduce the need for professional dental cleanings.

Mystery Drone Swarms in Colorado and Nebraska (2:33:25–2:35:55) Residents in rural Colorado and Nebraska have reported large swarms of mystery drones with six-foot wingspans flying at night. The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating, but the military and private companies like Amazon have denied responsibility. Theories range from corporate mapping for delivery services to clandestine military exercises.

Elon Musk Starlink Satellites and Tesla Ground Stations (2:35:57–2:39:05) Elon Musk's Starlink project has launched over 180 satellites into low Earth orbit, with plans for a total of 12,000. Astronomers have complained that the satellites' brightness is interfering with scientific observations. Speculation arises that Tesla vehicles may eventually serve as mobile ground stations or downlinks for the Starlink global internet network.
