The hosts lament the decline of April Fool's Day humor, citing "lame" corporate jokes from Google and Open Table's "lickable menus." John C. Dvorak argues that the internet has ruined the timing and believability of traditional hoaxes. They also critique Elon Musk's Tesla Model 3 presentation, comparing it unfavorably to the showmanship of Steve Jobs.

### Austin Restaurant Economy and Deposit Trends

- **Episode:** [787: Climate Deaths](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/787-climate-deaths.md)
- **Published:** 2016-01-03
- **Time:** 1:59:52–2:05:00
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/787-climate-deaths/chapter/austin-restaurant-economy-and-deposit-trends.md

The closure of high-end restaurants in Austin is linked to shifting economic margins and changing consumer behavior. A trend of restaurants requiring non-refundable deposits for reservations, which began in New York and San Francisco, is becoming more common. This is seen as a response to patrons "stiffing" businesses with no-show appointments.

### Coco Restaurant Review, San Francisco Dining

- **Published:** 2009-02-01

A visit to Coco (formerly Bisou) in San Francisco was marred by a poor atmosphere, described as "dank" with a strong odor of cheese. Despite the environment and structural issues with the floor, the food was acceptable, and the hosts shared a bottle of 2003 Pavilion Rouge du Chateau Margaux. The restaurant's booking through OpenTable is noted alongside the company's IPO filing.
