00:09 Mo Facts with Adam Curry for April 13th, 2022, episode number 79 and class is back in session. I'm Adam Curry coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country and time once again to spin the wheel of topics from here to Northern Virginia. Please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. Mo Facts. How you doing, Adam? I'm good, man. I'm in the groove, as you can tell. I mean, the Janet groove. Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, throwing down. This is interesting. This is a very main, to me, a very mainstream top 40 track era you've chosen for the opening of this show. It is, but it's appropriate. Oh, okay. Interesting. Once you see what the topic is.
00:49 Because, you know, whenever I think of Janet Jackson, I think Miss Jackson, if you're nasty. Yes. How you feeling, Mo? Because we had to, it was, man, we had a weird scheduling bunch of conflicts. You had horrible allergies when we were scheduled for two weeks ago. I did. And it was to the point where I thought it would take away from the show quality. So I hit you. I was like, I don't think I'm going to be able to record today. And I think it's these damn cherry blossom trees. Which are beautiful. Let's be honest. The cherry blossoms.
01:27 Which are from Japan. Yes. Yeah, I forgot about that. That's true. And it's so interesting because the Japanese tourists will come into DC to photograph the cherry blossoms. Is it a bioweapon? Here you go. Payback. This is for Pearl Harbor. No, because the reason why I say that in jest, but it's a known fact. If you move to Virginia, and people have told me this, you're going to get allergies. And I think it's a lot due to the cherry blossoms because I lived one state over in North Carolina all my life. Well, you know, when I got here, it's just, they're terrible when they start to bloom. That's interesting because the same thing, when you move to Austin, everybody says, oh, next year, you're going to get allergies, which happened to me, and I've had allergies for 12 years now.
02:16 Mold is the one that hits me, but we have cedar fever here real bad. People go nuts with that. And how are you? Yeah, I almost died from a heat stroke. No, I'm good. So, of course, you know, we didn't do the show on the Wednesday. I have no agenda on Thursday, and we were leaving Friday morning early. And we just got into this quagmire of flight cancellation after flight cancellation after flight cancellation. Wound up just out of despair going to Florida for a few days. So I'm more tired now than I was before we left. But, you know, and then I got sick for a day, you know, out in the heat, not drinking enough water.
03:01 So I don't know. And now I'm back. You know, we've got Phoebe the dog here by my foot. It's a beautiful day in Texas. I'm like, yeah, why did I even want to leave anyway? This is what a beautiful, charmed life I lead. And how's the voice? The voice is almost 100%. Thank you for asking. So long COVID is still with me because I need to use that for when I forget things. I'm sorry, darling, I have long COVID. I can't believe I forgot that again. Sounds promising. I'm telling you, it's a good one. Brain fog, brain fog, brain fog. What can I say? So, yeah, it's all good. It's all good. Now, the voice is almost 100%. And we're moving into springtime here. So everything is green and exploding.
03:45 And, you know, baby snakes are slithering. So it's a good time. Oh, yes. So I guess I'm back. Your voice is back. Yes, sir. I'm back with another bag. So I guess we can go ahead and... All right, let me crank it up. Round and round it goes. The wheel of topics. Where it stops, nobody knows. Of course, Mo knows because he put together another excellent episode for us. The topic for episode 79 of Mo Facts with Adam Curry is... Pedophile. Okay, let's just barge right in the door with that, shall we? Holy crap. Okay. We're going to need a trigger warning. Yes, hold on. Trigger warning. Trigger warning. Oh, my. Trigger warning.
