Reports suggest Missouri AG Andrew Bailey may be a candidate to replace Kash Patel as FBI Director. The conversation shifts to a critique of the "Podcast Industrial Complex" and the Podcast Movement conference in Dallas. One host recounts being "blackballed" from the industry for refusing to pay for a keynote speaking slot, leading to the creation of an "unconference" alternative.

The show's format evolved from a casual conversation to a structured mockery of mainstream media, aided by jingles produced by Jeff Smith. The hosts argue that their show provides a service for busy professionals, such as those at Goldman Sachs, who do not have the time to dig through news stories to find hidden connections or media deceptions. They emphasize that they are entertaining themselves while providing valuable analysis.

### Ron Paul Mojo, Media Groupthink in Campaign Coverage

- **Episode:** [367: Hats of State](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/367-hats-of-state.md)
- **Published:** 2011-12-22
- **Time:** 29:05–33:06
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/367-hats-of-state/chapter/ron-paul-mojo-media-groupthink-in-campaign-coverage.md

Mainstream media outlets have adopted the word "mojo" to describe the momentum of various 2012 presidential candidates, including Ron Paul. Analysts observe a pattern of "groupthink" where news organizations mock Paul's libertarian views on Medicare and drug legalization while simultaneously acknowledging his dedicated "army" of young supporters. The repetitive use of specific buzzwords across different networks is highlighted as evidence of a coordinated media narrative.
