# Wrong Puberty > Streaming infrastructure buckles under the Super Bowl as the Department of Government Efficiency uncovers systemic reconciliation failures within the United States Treasury Department. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1737 - **Published:** 2025-02-09 - **Length:** 3h 24m - **People:** [Adam Curry](https://search.noagendashow.net/person/adam-curry.md) (host), [John C Dvorak](https://search.noagendashow.net/person/john-c-dvorak.md) (host) - **Topics:** [DOGE](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/doge.md), [USAID](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/usaid.md), Super Bowl LIX, [COBOL](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cobol.md), [DeepSeek](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/deepseek.md), [Nippon Steel](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/nippon-steel.md), [DEI](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/dei.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1737-wrong-puberty ## About this episode YouTube TV subscribers faced widespread technical failures during Super Bowl LIX as the 4K streaming feed collapsed under massive concurrent demand, leaving viewers with error messages instead of the game. The infrastructure breakdown highlights the persistent limitations of digital streaming compared to traditional over-the-air signals. Meanwhile, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues its aggressive restructuring of federal agencies, sparking a media firestorm over staffer nicknames and the vetting of young appointees like Akash Bhola. Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway of the Pivot podcast issued a public call for local authorities to arrest DOGE staffers for trespassing, while Wired Editor-in-Chief Katie Drummond published an investigation into alleged Russian domain links within Elon Musk's team. At the Treasury Department, DOGE analysts reportedly extracted the entire 2023-2024 payment database to expose a lack of modern reconciliation processes. These efforts coincide with a federal judge blocking the dismantling of USAID, an agency now under fire for spending $241 million on transgender research in mice and rats. Further reports indicate that aging COBOL legacy systems at the IRS may cause significant delays for 2025 tax refunds as the administration attempts to replace retiring programmers with AI-assisted coding. DeepSeek AI provided a moment of levity by hallucinating a claim that Adam Sandler invented podcasting in the 1920s, while the NFL faced criticism from The View for replacing social justice end zone stencils with a Choose Love message. The episode features original artwork by Tantaniel and a series of audio reports from producer meetups in North Idaho and Washington state. The show concludes with the Black Magic Elon mix, satirizing the media's reaction to the ongoing federal budget cuts. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

COBOL Legacy Systems, IRS Refund Delay Predictions (22:55–27:38) Technical experts warn that federal agencies like the Treasury and IRS rely on aging COBOL legacy systems maintained by "graybeard" programmers who are now retiring. There are concerns that DOGE's attempt to modernize these systems using AI-assisted coding will fail because large language models are not trained on COBOL. This technical friction could lead to significant delays in processing 2025 tax refunds.

Wired Magazine Investigation, Russian Domain Name Allegations (32:53–38:32) Wired Editor-in-Chief Katie Drummond detailed an investigation into a DOGE staffer's background, citing the registration of ".ru" domain names and the use of Telegram as "red flags." The report also alleged the staffer had links to firms hiring "black hat" hackers. Critics argue these connections are common in the tech industry and do not constitute proof of being a Russian asset.

Treasury Department Reconciliation Failure, Data Republican Website (38:32–46:51) Antonio Gracias revealed on the All In podcast that the U.S. Treasury Department lacks a modern reconciliation process, meaning payments are often made without verifying if services were rendered. DOGE staffers reportedly "sucked down" the entire 2023-2024 Treasury database before being blocked by court orders. This data is now being analyzed and published on sites like DataRepublican.com to expose government spending patterns.

USAID Ideological Spending, Transgender Projects Overseas (1:08:54–1:14:41) The Trump administration released a list of USAID expenditures deemed "insane," including funding for a transgender opera in Colombia and DEI musicals in Ireland. Analysis suggests these programs are not merely ideological but are used as tools of psychological warfare to mobilize fringe groups and create opposition movements in foreign countries. This strategy is compared to the domestic use of "Trans Lives Matter" and DEI initiatives.

Corporate DEI Retreat, Walmart and Google Policy Changes (1:19:40–1:24:35) Major corporations including Walmart, Google, Disney, and JPMorgan Chase are reportedly backing away from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) targets in their annual reports. While some companies are making public announcements, others are quietly scrubbing DEI language to avoid political and legal backlash. Political strategists like David Axelrod have warned the Democratic Party that focusing on these issues may be alienating the broader electorate.

Make Europe Great Again, South Africa Aid Freeze (1:36:20–1:38:51) Right-wing leaders in Europe, including Viktor Orban and Marine Le Pen, gathered in Spain under the "Make Europe Great Again" (MEGA) banner. Simultaneously, President Trump signed an executive order halting aid to South Africa, citing human rights violations against the white minority. The move, dubbed "MANGA" (Make Africa News Great Again) by the hosts, signals a shift in U.S. diplomatic priorities toward traditional allies and specific human rights concerns.

Solari Report, Digital Control Grid Warnings (1:44:27–1:50:01) Catherine Austin Fitz's Solari Report warns that the Trump administration is rapidly implementing a "digital control grid." The report alleges that initiatives like DOGE, Stargate data centers, and the promotion of Bitcoin are precursors to a social credit system and the Internet of Bodies. While some of these claims are viewed as alarmist, they reflect deep skepticism among certain "extreme right" factions regarding the new administration's tech policies.

Super Bowl Food Economics, Chicken Wing Abundance (2:29:12–2:33:15) Despite soaring egg prices caused by avian flu, chicken wing prices remained relatively stable for Super Bowl LIX. The USDA reports that "broiler" chickens raised for meat were less affected by the virus than egg-laying hens. Consequently, Americans were expected to consume 1.5 billion wings during the game, while some restaurants were forced to ration eggs or add surcharges.

Super Bowl LIX Predictions, Trump vs. Taylor Swift (2:37:56–2:42:44) The hosts predict a Philadelphia Eagles victory over the Kansas City Chiefs based on political symbolism rather than athletic stats. The game is framed as a proxy battle between President Trump (attending the game) and Taylor Swift (associated with the Chiefs). The theory suggests the NFL "system" will favor the Eagles to avoid a celebratory moment for Swift that could be perceived as a slight to the President.

Religious Symbolism in Football, Mahomes and Hurts (2:42:45–2:46:53) Both Super Bowl quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, are noted for their public expressions of Christian faith. However, the hosts argue that the "Satanic" influence surrounding Taylor Swift's association with the Chiefs will lead to their defeat.

Scott Horton on Jared Kushner, Israel-Palestine Policy (2:51:42–2:57:15) Libertarian author Scott Horton claims that Jared Kushner's close personal ties to Benjamin Netanyahu, including Netanyahu reportedly sleeping in Kushner's childhood bed, compromise U.S. Middle East policy. Horton argues that Trump's "America First" stance is at odds with his "Zionist" advisors. The hosts counter this by suggesting the U.S. intelligence apparatus ultimately controls the relationship with Israel.

Bob Woodward Quote Fabrication, Sergei Lavrov Dispute (2:57:16–3:01:24) Scott Horton alleges that veteran journalist Bob Woodward fabricated or severely distorted a quote from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his latest book. By comparing Woodward's text to OSCE transcripts from December 2021, Horton claims the meaning of Lavrov's "playing with fire" comment was reversed to suit a pro-war narrative. The hosts cite this as further evidence of Woodward's long-standing ties to naval intelligence.
