Mimi Dvorak joins the program to reveal a long-held secret regarding John C. Dvorak's actual age and birthplace. Dvorak intentionally misled a Wired Magazine interviewer decades ago to appear younger, a factual error that was later adopted by the New York Times without verification. While public records often cited Los Angeles, Dvorak was actually born in Fresno and was 80 years old at the time of his death, six years older than his public persona suggested.

Curry reiterates the story of Dvorak's "fake" age, noting that John wanted the New York Times called out for their lack of fact-checking. They encourage listeners to view Dvorak's life as a lesson in questioning authority and being a "mensch."

Time Magazine named Sam Altman and Jensen Huang as "Persons of the Year" for their impact on AI.

Girnus describes "AI enablement" as a meaningless metric used to secure board approval and promotions while providing zero actual productivity gains.

Time Magazine released a list of the 100 best podcasts of all time, notably excluding popular shows like the Joe Rogan Experience.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that negotiations are moving in the right direction but refused to disclose specific details. President Trump told Time magazine that Crimea will likely remain with Russia, a position Zelensky rejects as a violation of the Ukrainian constitution. The hosts observe that Zelensky's refusal to concede territory or hold elections creates a stalemate in the peace process.

Time Magazine named Donald Trump its Person of the Year for 2024, a move criticized by Joy Reid, who compared the selection to past winners like Hitler and Stalin. The magazine, owned by Marc Benioff, featured an extensive profile of Trump that some critics found to be largely composed of journalistic speculation.

A report in The Lancet and an article from Time Magazine describe "climate despair" and anxiety among children, suggesting they be involved in policy decisions. The hosts mock seven "coping strategies" for climate distress, which include joining "climate cafes," analyzing personal carbon footprints, and using arts and crafts to regulate emotions. They argue that these psychological effects are the result of teachers and media "terrorizing" the youth with existential threats.

Democracy Now host Amy Goodman is criticized for her framing of a Donald Trump interview in Time Magazine. Goodman claimed Trump "refused to rule out political violence," while the actual quote showed Trump stating that the outcome "depends on the fairness of the election." The hosts argue this is an example of extreme journalistic bias and "predictive programming."

Time Magazine's cover story "If He Wins" outlines Trump's potential second-term plans, including mass deportations using the military.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passes a resolution honoring Taylor Swift's birthday. The hosts discuss Swift's selection as Time Magazine's Person of the Year, noting that Time owner Reid Hoffman is a major Democratic donor. They suggest Swift is being positioned as a political operative for the 2024 election, a theory supported by Kara Swisher's early "prediction."

Time Magazine named Taylor Swift as the 2023 Person of the Year, making her the first woman to appear twice on the cover since the franchise began in 1927. Critics suggest the selection is a calculated move to leverage her influence against Donald Trump or a marketing ploy to increase readership.

A Time Magazine article by Simon Shuster reported that associates of President Zelensky describe him as "delusional" regarding the war effort. The report alleges widespread corruption in Ukraine, with one advisor claiming people are "stealing like there's no tomorrow." Time Magazine, owned by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, is noted for publishing this critical perspective which deviates from standard pro-Ukraine messaging.

### Historical Media Climate Alarms, Failed Predictions

- **Time:** 13:17–16:24

A review of historical headlines from the 1960s and 1970s reveals a pattern of failed environmental predictions by scientists like Paul Ehrlich and major media outlets. Past alarms included a predicted new ice age by the 21st century, the death of the oceans by 1980, and total food rationing in America. These "receipts" from Time Magazine and the Boston Globe are used to illustrate long-term media sensationalism regarding climate.

Parallels are drawn between the current energy crisis and Jimmy Carter's 1979 push for a "solar bank" and the Windfall Profits Act. Time Magazine's recent coverage of "skyscraper lettuce" and "petri dish meat" is critiqued as an attempt to normalize industrial, lab-grown food under the guise of stopping climate change.

A Time Magazine article details a "secret bipartisan campaign" of CEOs and labor leaders that "fortified" the 2020 election. The hosts interpret this "shadow effort" as an admission of a coordinated conspiracy to influence election laws and suppress certain protests.
