Summary

Being a tech company in Silicon Valley could be bad for your health, and the health of your company. Jason Fried, author of the book, "It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work," joins Nick to explain why, as the CEO of a successful startup, he stays as far away from the tech epicenter as possible. He explains why technology has become more of a hindrance than a solution at the office, and home, when A,I. will really start taking jobs, and how evil Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, and other social networks have become. Fried likens them to cigarette companies two decades ago, where the CEOs were fully aware that they were making something bad for our health and society, but did it anyway.

0:46.5	It's about how technology is making his work like 80, 90,
0:50.3	100 hour weeks and it's total bullshit.
0:52.3	We don't actually have to do that we can turn the
0:54.1	technology off and tell our editors to go away and leave us alone. But afterwards
0:59.9	we're going to talk about a few things in the news. What are those things we're going to talk about, John?

1:14.2	course that Mattis is resigning effective in February it it seems as the

1:25.0	shit is hitting the mother-fucking fan. That should be the title of our episode,
1:29.5	the shit is hitting the mother-fucking fan. And'll well we're going to get to what's going on
