00:05 Telecom up, telecom up Mo Facts with Adam Curry for January 18th, 2021. Episode number 57! Oh man it sounds so ominous. Yeah! It's been two weeks a little over that time to talk to my buddy there in Northern Virginia as I'm Adam Curry here in Austin Texas over there the man who knows how to use this silky throat sounds Mr. Mo Facts
00:57 How you doing Adam? I'm doing great Moe. I love this track! It's like 3 6 Mafia tear the club up, which is appropriate Well first of all how you doin man everything good and everything okay there in at the homestead Everything is good Had to take a break from social media Of course I saw that I saw you as saying you were leaving of your own accord Yes Okay, cuz I knew what was coming and we're gonna cover that you know maybe and Just had to back up take a step back Did you stop youtubing and Instagram and everything? Instagram at Twitter only if you want to leave a message or Comment YouTube or email. That's the only two ways right now Right for right now like I said, I might be back in
01:54 You need it for promo and that kind of stuff, but other than that is the cesspool man well you know I have my thoughts on this and absolutely the the idea of the global of You know village square is a dumb idea We're tribal by nature And we should all be hanging out with our own little tribe and with their own little truths in our own little thing Yeah our own bubble And once in a while someone from the other tribe will come over, we'll visit. We might argue we might not you know? We can smoke the peace pipe and there's no reason to everybody being the same thing than trying to convince everybody else they're dumb that's why I like No Agenda Social. You know it's our own tribe. We might have to build a MoFax with Adam Curry social for that very reasoning. Sure sure because my problem with that is
02:46 The things that you don't want to see. Yeah, it creeps in You might be going to one place to do one thing and it's like, oh what is that message? Or Oh what does that comment. And then it takes you down a whole path that you really don't want to go down so I noticed that sounds like let me take a step back because I know they're about the turn ratchet up. Oh yeah, to 10. This one goes to 11 actually Moe right now how to crank this one up. Oh yes beautiful. It's fantastic. I've been waiting for this. I've been prepared for probably ten years
