Intro Song: Constructive Summer - The Hold Steady (:00-1:23)
Outro Song: Same In The End - Sublime (1:36-End)
Let’s get people to come to the blog by restarting some old traditions... QOTW!!!
Question of the week: Why is Dave’s name listed first in the Dave and John Show???
Google Bit: Google Chrome Commercial Spoof - Snooki's Baby Commercial (Barely NSFW)
Great This American Life this week!!!
Why do we vote the way we do??? An idea for fixing the flaws in voting. Also, just let people vote for more than one person!!!
AM 1980 Drinking Game! Take a shot every time Dave says "kids/students" or "burning calories." Also, take a shot every time John says "Idiocracy" or talks about other Podcasts. You'll be taking a lot of shots!
DUI: American PSA’s focus on the ticket you get if you get caught. European focus on the accidents themselves. Is it more effective? Cultural Differences in the Dissuasion of Drunk Driving - The second video shown is graphic and upsetting. If you have any reservations don’t watch it. Don’t search around youtube either!!!
Solution: Why does a phone ring more than once? I like that a text message only rings once!!! MY PHONE IS NOW FIXED!!! I will release, as a new podcast, the ringtone that I now use. It is half a second a ringing followed by a minute of silence.
The iPhone Ringtone
I like: Logitech USB Headset H530. Got it here for $23.00.
ebay.com - anything
amazon.com - anything
monoprice.com - cords and connectors
Burton does it again!!! Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
Toward Mobile Payments
Adam Carolla on Pete Holmes’s “You Made it Weird” podcast
The major thing that irks me about Carolla and keeps me from listening is how he is at once arrogant and “wise,” however most of his wisdom is 1950’s-era male machismo. 1 out of 100 things Carolla says are great, but he says 100 things a minute, so the good gems of truth get lost in things like him bragging about getting paid $35,000 for a night of stand-up comedy. Also, the fact that he calls himself a comedian is at least debatable and at most wrong. He says funny things on a stage, but if Jimmy Kimmel hadn’t “discovered” him, would he have slogged out doing open mics for a decade after getting booted from the Groundlings? He basically said he only “works” so he can buy expensive vintage racecars.

Barry O’Bama Endorses Gay Marriage - The Bible and The Constitution - cherry-picking verses or amendments to suit your hateful needs - disregard Old Testament teachings in some cases but not others, there’s more to the Constitution than gun ownership, and it never explicitly says “Christian nation.” Wikipedia - The Bible and homosexuality.
David Barton and Jon Stewart debate Thomas Jefferson - Jefferson was maybe a religious guy.
The mythical narrative of the persecuted white male, especially in politics
The Inherent Narcissism in Becoming a Parent

Intro Song: Swimming Pools - We Became Actors (:56 - 1:53)
http://www.myspace.com/webecameactors
Outro Song: George and Martha - We Became Actors (:13 - End)
We Became Actors are one of my favorite “new” bands. ( http://webecameactors.com/ ) I heard them on the ‘Minus the Bear’ Pandora station a couple months ago and immediately found them on social media. I have tweeted and facebooked them and gotten responses in regards to using their music. If you guys are listening, keep up the great work and if you need a roadie I can manhandle heavy things and change guitar strings. If/when you play San Diego, let’s hang out!

AM1980.COM - 20 CHARACTERS WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????
Zuckerberg’s hoodie
Gotye “Somebody That I Used to Know” Remixes
Google bit of the week:
- Not All Google Search Results Are Equal
Ted Talk: Eli Pariser: Beware online "filter bubbles"
Million Short!!! Imagine a search engine that simply removed the top 1 million most popular web sites from its index. What would you discover?
Highly religious not as compassionate as non believers says study
“Well, if I’m wrong I was a “good” person, if you’re wrong you’ll go to HELL!!!”
Simply doing things because you feel like an invisible man will punish you if you don’t isn’t the same as being good for goodness sake.
“The single biggest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and deny him with their lifestyle.” - some DC Talk CD
“Gay” marriage, and the ways people use language to make people “the other.”
The Other
Idiocracy
In an election year, there’s nothing more poignant than Idiocracy. People make a false division in their mind between private and public, corporate and government, church and state... they’re all the same! We all worship something (“god,” money, etc), we all buy things, we all benefit from public resources and private, and the government is clearly overrun with corruption. There is no difference between Barack Obama the President and Barack Obama the corporate shill. He’s the CEO of a failing business. And what does Romney do with failing businesses? He milks them of every resource, makes himself even more wealthy, and then fires everyone left over. Ron Paul is the only candidate who makes sense, 90% of the time. It’s that other 10%...
Kickstarter. Should AM1980 beg? - possibly something we can all use.
- comedian tried to use kickstarter to buy kickstarter

Guest Rants - I would like to include guests, but let’s just record them ahead of time. That is what some other shows do and I think the scheduling would be a lot easier. This could be with either one of us, doesn’t have to be together and we could bank some as well. --- Agreed
