C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, July 26, 2026. This is your

4
00:00:09,606 --> 00:00:14,269
award-winning Get More Nation media assassination episode 1889. This is

5
00:00:14,389 --> 00:00:29,389
no agenda. that intro at the moment. Hello, Noah Gendonation.

6
00:00:41,807 --> 00:00:46,230
Hello, Troll Room here live on Sunday the 26th. What

7
00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:49,572
a week it's been. We've been laughing through all of

8
00:00:49,592 --> 00:00:53,675
the tears. I've been on the phone with the entire

9
00:00:53,735 --> 00:00:57,357
Dvorak clan, many people who, of course, knew John. It's

10
00:00:57,598 --> 00:01:02,481
been, the outpouring has just been so amazing. John, I'm

11
00:01:02,541 --> 00:01:05,803
sure, would just love seeing his name trending on X.

12
00:01:06,063 --> 00:01:10,906
What is up with that? Years and years ago have

13
00:01:10,946 --> 00:01:14,209
suddenly reappeared and every single one of you who emailed

14
00:01:14,229 --> 00:01:16,130
me and said, "Hey, I'm sure your email box is

15
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:19,792
blowing up right now." But I'm telling you, yes, it

16
00:01:19,872 --> 00:01:25,116
is overwhelming. Now, on Thursday's show, we gathered John's friends

17
00:01:25,196 --> 00:01:29,639
and family, and we mourned him. We remembered him. We

18
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:32,961
talked about him. We laughed about him. And today it

19
00:01:33,081 --> 00:01:37,764
is the producer's turn. Before I intro what y'all have

20
00:01:37,804 --> 00:01:40,306
put together for him, I want you to know that

21
00:01:40,886 --> 00:01:43,408
right after the next, I think it's about two hours

22
00:01:43,468 --> 00:01:48,611
and 43 minutes, we will be telling you how we're

23
00:01:48,631 --> 00:01:52,974
moving forward with No Agenda, because the show, of course,

24
00:01:53,214 --> 00:01:57,998
just can't stop. Things will change, and there's a lot

25
00:01:58,058 --> 00:02:01,760
of interesting waters to navigate as we move forward. We

26
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:07,024
also have such an outpouring of... respect and love for

27
00:02:07,104 --> 00:02:10,546
John. So we will be reading several hours worth of

28
00:02:10,586 --> 00:02:14,388
donations and I look forward to it because every single,

29
00:02:14,508 --> 00:02:16,970
I know everybody's grieving and I just love to see

30
00:02:17,010 --> 00:02:20,653
how everybody is pouring their hearts out into these notes.

31
00:02:21,733 --> 00:02:24,295
So I had asked if you had a favorite clip

32
00:02:24,355 --> 00:02:26,997
from the show, a favorite bit, anything that you liked,

33
00:02:27,037 --> 00:02:30,879
please send it to me. Wow. So we used Clip

34
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:33,521
Genie. I think it's called Podherd now. Thank you, Sir

35
00:02:33,581 --> 00:02:35,983
Deenonymous. He was beefing up his servers. I have to

36
00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:37,884
say thank you to Void Zero as well on the

37
00:02:37,944 --> 00:02:42,727
last show. He was adding servers, fixing DNS, all kinds

38
00:02:42,787 --> 00:02:44,648
of stuff just to keep everything on the air. It's

39
00:02:44,708 --> 00:02:50,832
wonderful. And so I spent about eight hours yesterday putting

40
00:02:50,873 --> 00:02:56,076
this show together. And. It was amazing. These are your

41
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:59,778
choices. And it was so fun to see how many

42
00:02:59,878 --> 00:03:05,062
people selected similar things, things that I didn't expect. I'd

43
00:03:05,142 --> 00:03:08,404
say 80% of what you guys sent in or selected

44
00:03:08,524 --> 00:03:12,707
on Podherd Clip Genie, I had completely forgotten about. For

45
00:03:12,827 --> 00:03:16,389
instance, I had completely forgotten that John had done tips

46
00:03:16,449 --> 00:03:20,132
of the day since episode 200. They just weren't structured

47
00:03:20,152 --> 00:03:22,373
the way we did them. So it was... It was

48
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:25,756
amazing. And somewhere around three, I usually have a glass

49
00:03:25,816 --> 00:03:28,437
of wine with dinner somewhere around three o'clock. I texted

50
00:03:28,457 --> 00:03:30,719
Tina. I said, I got to break open a bottle.

51
00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:34,581
I was laughing, crying, and I think you'll do the

52
00:03:34,622 --> 00:03:39,285
same. So this is an ode to John. as selected

53
00:03:39,405 --> 00:03:42,807
by No Agenda Nation, by our producers. And I'm so

54
00:03:42,947 --> 00:03:46,209
grateful that you did this. So enjoy this, because this

55
00:03:46,329 --> 00:03:49,271
is coming from you. Blame it on the glitch. And

56
00:03:49,311 --> 00:03:51,653
I did this work in, you know, 10 minutes. It

57
00:03:51,733 --> 00:03:53,674
wasn't that hard to find. Blame it on the glitch.

58
00:03:53,754 --> 00:03:56,176
Yeah, well, reporters don't care. This kind of day. Okay,

59
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:58,137
here's a song idea for some. No, no, no. I

60
00:03:58,237 --> 00:04:00,699
was going to keep going with internal passwords. Well, I'm

61
00:04:00,699 --> 00:04:01,799
not going to interrupt you. I was going to tell

62
00:04:01,799 --> 00:04:05,162
the song idea. I am this song, it's Michael Jackson,

63
00:04:05,282 --> 00:04:07,864
blame it on the boogie to blame it on the

64
00:04:07,924 --> 00:04:10,865
glitch. Give it that you can't fit that in there

65
00:04:11,346 --> 00:04:13,087
I think it could be done It could be blaming

66
00:04:13,107 --> 00:04:17,950
on the buggy Oh, this just sounds too similar. You

67
00:04:18,010 --> 00:04:19,911
have to rewrite some lyrics to get the rhymes right.

68
00:04:19,911 --> 00:04:22,013
I can hear Sir Chris popping another beer as we

69
00:04:22,113 --> 00:04:25,815
speak. Don't blame it on the bad card. Don't blame

70
00:04:25,835 --> 00:04:30,098
it on the blue load. Or thermal overload. Blame it

71
00:04:30,158 --> 00:04:33,320
on the glitch. Don't blame it on the bad card.

72
00:04:33,821 --> 00:04:37,543
Don't blame it on the blue blood. Or thermal overload.

73
00:04:44,568 --> 00:04:46,889
stuff for this show. Like, hey, man, I'm drunk. Don't

74
00:04:46,969 --> 00:04:54,735
worry about me. And I remembered a conversation from, I

75
00:04:54,774 --> 00:04:58,177
was thinking steam engines, I don't think the batteries are

76
00:04:58,177 --> 00:05:03,800
going to work. And we talked about gasifiers, about wood-burning

77
00:05:03,901 --> 00:05:10,605
trucks. 12 years ago, you remember that? Yep. And he's

78
00:05:10,605 --> 00:05:12,846
going to build me one. The gasifier where you burn

79
00:05:12,947 --> 00:05:15,508
wood and it's going to... I think this is appropriate.

80
00:05:15,608 --> 00:05:19,731
And it's going to power my existing generator. If anything...

81
00:05:19,791 --> 00:05:22,913
Oh, I think you should power your truck. Well, and

82
00:05:22,973 --> 00:05:24,894
that was the second thing. I'm not going to wait

83
00:05:25,775 --> 00:05:27,756
to buy a flying car. I'm going to get an

84
00:05:27,896 --> 00:05:32,039
old flatbed Ford that has a tow hitch so I

85
00:05:32,099 --> 00:05:36,742
can drag the burning system behind me and drive with

86
00:05:36,882 --> 00:05:38,944
it. Oh, yeah. This is the way I've always seen

87
00:05:39,004 --> 00:05:42,966
you going out. What do you mean going out? I

88
00:05:43,026 --> 00:05:49,751
don't want to die. I want to drive. Gasification systems

89
00:05:49,911 --> 00:05:52,773
are cool as crap and we have so much wood

90
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:56,175
around here. And you, he told me about a buddy

91
00:05:56,215 --> 00:05:58,096
of his who has actually done this with his truck.

92
00:05:58,937 --> 00:06:01,018
And he says, I can go about 15 miles on

93
00:06:01,078 --> 00:06:04,661
a dead cat. He said you could throw anything in

94
00:06:04,741 --> 00:06:06,602
there. You could throw whatever you want. As long as

95
00:06:06,622 --> 00:06:10,024
it can burn, then you can drive on that. Now,

96
00:06:10,064 --> 00:06:13,346
there was another element to this, which was the quote-unquote

97
00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:17,549
fact-checking. And the fact-checking thing is getting really old and

98
00:06:17,649 --> 00:06:20,091
stale. And one of the things that you, if you

99
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:22,252
notice, you listen to the fact-checking, they really didn't find

100
00:06:22,352 --> 00:06:25,234
a lot of facts that Trump said that were wrong.

101
00:06:25,314 --> 00:06:28,557
They were just kind of questionable or borderline. Or Trump

102
00:06:28,597 --> 00:06:31,639
would say something like 3.9 million, and they said, no,

103
00:06:31,739 --> 00:06:35,341
it was 3.8. 8-5 they're nitpicking about some of these

104
00:06:35,421 --> 00:06:38,783
facts, you know, so they get added to the 25,000

105
00:06:38,963 --> 00:06:42,146
lies I know I'd like to strengthen your argument because

106
00:06:42,486 --> 00:06:45,948
I got a little tired. It's actually more than 16,000

107
00:06:46,028 --> 00:06:48,570
lies this this is the thing this it should be

108
00:06:48,590 --> 00:06:52,813
in the Trump rotation 16,000 lies I went and found

109
00:06:52,893 --> 00:06:55,594
I wanted to find out who has tracked this since

110
00:06:55,675 --> 00:06:59,657
it's such a thing 16,000 16,000 it's the Washington Post

111
00:06:59,697 --> 00:07:02,479
the number they are have tread they have a database

112
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:08,563
And the number is currently 16,241. And of course, it's

113
00:07:08,643 --> 00:07:13,546
not lies. They titled this false or misleading claims. Just

114
00:07:13,566 --> 00:07:15,388
the first page, just to give you an idea of

115
00:07:15,428 --> 00:07:20,111
what's in here. January 18th, 2020, Trump said, I remember

116
00:07:20,151 --> 00:07:23,113
2016, the election, the fake news. They said Trump was

117
00:07:23,153 --> 00:07:26,015
going to have a hard time winning Texas. So that's

118
00:07:26,135 --> 00:07:29,537
one column. That's the false allegation or the lie. On

119
00:07:29,597 --> 00:07:33,520
the right-hand column, they have their debunked statement. Literally one

120
00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:37,722
line. Trump was always going to win Texas easily. So

121
00:07:37,822 --> 00:07:39,884
that's a lie. So what he said there is a

122
00:07:39,924 --> 00:07:43,046
lie because that's their fact check. Trump was always going

123
00:07:43,106 --> 00:07:47,069
to win Texas easily. A couple of others. Before you

124
00:07:47,109 --> 00:07:50,191
go on, and I like this list, I remember when

125
00:07:50,491 --> 00:07:54,113
some people were talking about both Georgia and Texas possibly

126
00:07:54,393 --> 00:07:59,076
switching over. But this is my point. It's very subjective

127
00:07:59,177 --> 00:08:05,321
claims. Read more. Okay, January 18th, 2020. United States has

128
00:08:05,401 --> 00:08:08,263
gained 7 million jobs, unthought of. If I had said

129
00:08:08,343 --> 00:08:10,804
that in the campaign trail, the fake news would have

130
00:08:10,844 --> 00:08:14,547
gone crazy. The rebuttal, because this of course is false,

131
00:08:15,087 --> 00:08:17,829
Trump cites how many jobs have been created since the

132
00:08:17,889 --> 00:08:21,111
election, but not since the beginning of his administration. Ha

133
00:08:21,171 --> 00:08:24,473
ha! We've got him! Since he took office, it was

134
00:08:24,774 --> 00:08:28,896
6.7 million! That's nuts! 7 million is rounding up! Lie!

135
00:08:29,096 --> 00:08:34,680
Lie! The next one, January 18th. The unemployment rate is

136
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:39,443
now 3.5%, the lowest in more than 51 years. The

137
00:08:39,503 --> 00:08:42,705
rebuttal from Washington Post. I have to do the voice.

138
00:08:42,825 --> 00:08:47,729
For some reason, Trump always stretches this claim. Throughout 2018

139
00:08:47,789 --> 00:08:51,031
and 2019, a low of 3.5% unemployment would be the

140
00:08:51,051 --> 00:08:57,815
best in 50 years, not 51! This is the shit

141
00:08:57,855 --> 00:09:01,158
that's at the top of the list, yes. is 50

142
00:09:01,218 --> 00:09:04,860
not 51? And that's what they call a lie? Because

143
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,522
they feel that when he said it, it wasn't a

144
00:09:07,602 --> 00:09:10,344
year that didn't have the exact number, so it really

145
00:09:10,364 --> 00:09:12,985
was the best in 50 years and not 51. That's

146
00:09:13,166 --> 00:09:16,768
one of the lies. You can go through all 16,000

147
00:09:16,868 --> 00:09:21,731
of them. It's stuff like that. It's called ant-fucking. And

148
00:09:21,791 --> 00:09:27,175
it's lame. Although very entertaining to read it. It's crazy.

149
00:09:27,995 --> 00:09:30,697
Well, it just points out the insanity of these people.

150
00:09:31,037 --> 00:09:37,121
It's the Washington Post. The Washington Post is insane. This

151
00:09:37,201 --> 00:09:41,184
all began in the 70s. Oh. Late 70s. I was

152
00:09:41,244 --> 00:09:49,069
very young then, John. This began with a software... entrepreneur

153
00:09:49,129 --> 00:09:54,573
named Seymour Rubenstein. Seymour Rubinstein, who was the purveyor of

154
00:09:54,633 --> 00:09:59,956
WordStar, among other products, had developed a very interesting ironclad

155
00:10:00,059 --> 00:10:03,082
had a licensing agreement. And I've talked to Seymour about

156
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:06,344
this over the years. And he always believed that in

157
00:10:06,484 --> 00:10:09,306
some day in the distant, not too distant future or

158
00:10:09,346 --> 00:10:15,070
distant future, everything would be licensed, including books and television

159
00:10:15,410 --> 00:10:18,932
shows that you watch. So you can't copy them. You

160
00:10:18,992 --> 00:10:22,475
can't because you're licensed it. And maybe you can make

161
00:10:22,535 --> 00:10:24,636
one back up for personal use, which they're always fighting

162
00:10:24,656 --> 00:10:27,879
against that too, by the way. So the idea of

163
00:10:27,899 --> 00:10:31,681
everything being licensed evolved into the shrink wrap license, which

164
00:10:31,761 --> 00:10:35,944
became law. Which is that terms of service license that

165
00:10:35,964 --> 00:10:38,286
when you open up a CD, it used to be

166
00:10:38,366 --> 00:10:41,608
floppies. It's the end user agreement that is on a

167
00:10:41,668 --> 00:10:44,270
piece of paper. When you rip open the package, you

168
00:10:44,350 --> 00:10:47,812
have a read. You have accepted it. Yes, you are

169
00:10:47,832 --> 00:10:53,356
now under contract. a 13 year old kid open it

170
00:10:53,916 --> 00:10:58,039
because they're not bound by these same legal restrictions anyway

171
00:10:58,099 --> 00:11:00,381
like that's going to help an interesting john c devore

172
00:11:00,421 --> 00:11:14,730
act tip This is pretty transparent. Here, play this clip.

173
00:11:14,971 --> 00:11:29,971
Firestorm over the 2,000 ex-DOJs. I got a comment about

174
00:11:30,901 --> 00:11:35,064
this. Long time friend. Now, the this if you remember

175
00:11:35,084 --> 00:11:37,546
about six months, it may even been a year ago.

176
00:11:37,666 --> 00:11:42,589
There was the same 2000 ex-DOJ guys who signed a

177
00:11:42,649 --> 00:11:45,872
petition saying that the president should be, I believe, should

178
00:11:45,932 --> 00:11:48,874
be impeached. And this is just a mailing list. This

179
00:11:48,994 --> 00:11:52,396
is a group of 2000 that was that are all

180
00:11:52,556 --> 00:11:56,919
Democrats. You're right. You're right. So I looked into the

181
00:11:56,959 --> 00:11:59,481
first time it happened, which is the same 2000 guys.

182
00:11:59,521 --> 00:12:01,142
You can look at the list. It's the same people.

183
00:12:01,702 --> 00:12:04,224
I looked into this back then when it happened the

184
00:12:04,264 --> 00:12:06,266
first time. I tracked down two or three of them

185
00:12:06,686 --> 00:12:09,488
and wrote them, emailed them. Maybe I tracked down more

186
00:12:09,488 --> 00:12:11,309
than that, but I only got responses from two or

187
00:12:11,349 --> 00:12:13,430
three of them. Wait, you were trying? So did you

188
00:12:13,731 --> 00:12:17,133
acquire the entire list? The list is available. That's a

189
00:12:17,153 --> 00:12:18,994
hot list, man. The article that ran in Medium is

190
00:12:19,034 --> 00:12:21,276
the same list that they just ran with these people.

191
00:12:21,356 --> 00:12:22,857
John, you know what we can do with this list?

192
00:12:23,017 --> 00:12:25,819
Here, we'll send the email. I saw what you were

193
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:28,861
doing. I was able to turn on your webcam. I

194
00:12:28,981 --> 00:12:33,044
saw what you were watching. me five bitcoin come on

195
00:12:33,104 --> 00:12:34,625
man it's a great list it's a great list to

196
00:12:34,685 --> 00:12:37,207
do that for i don't have the emails it's just

197
00:12:37,267 --> 00:12:40,369
a list of names oh that's a problem yeah so

198
00:12:40,489 --> 00:12:42,790
i had to dig through and dig around and finally

199
00:12:42,850 --> 00:12:44,952
get the emails for maybe five or six of them

200
00:12:44,952 --> 00:12:47,173
because some of them are fame in famous law firms

201
00:12:47,233 --> 00:12:48,634
and you go to the website and there's the guy

202
00:12:49,095 --> 00:12:51,737
and you know xdoj xd it's just it's amazing how

203
00:12:51,777 --> 00:12:55,039
many xdoj people there are in giant law firms yeah

204
00:12:55,579 --> 00:12:57,721
so i sent a bunch of notes out because i

205
00:12:57,901 --> 00:13:00,142
didn't i thought this sounded like a bunch of bull

206
00:13:00,202 --> 00:13:02,084
crap and they're just making you know just putting people's

207
00:13:02,144 --> 00:13:05,286
names down, you know, like petitioners do. But no, they

208
00:13:05,306 --> 00:13:08,028
wrote back, no, no, yeah, no, I write, they were

209
00:13:08,068 --> 00:13:11,530
all irked that I even questioned that they signed onto

210
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:14,092
this thing. And you can tell they're all just a

211
00:13:14,132 --> 00:13:17,534
bunch of either never Trumpers or just Democrats that don't

212
00:13:17,574 --> 00:13:20,256
like Trump. And it's the same group. So this is

213
00:13:20,256 --> 00:13:24,679
gonna crop up every six to nine months. 2,000 ex-DOJs

214
00:13:24,899 --> 00:13:27,761
saying that Trump did the wrong thing. This is bull

215
00:13:27,861 --> 00:13:32,144
crap. And the fact that ABC News of democracy now

216
00:13:32,324 --> 00:13:35,767
just played it straight is just beyond the pale as

217
00:13:35,807 --> 00:13:38,268
far as i'm concerned just bad coverage is that very

218
00:13:38,348 --> 00:13:41,931
well done a good deconstruction i i had forgotten all

219
00:13:42,011 --> 00:13:44,412
about that list that makes so much sense what a

220
00:13:44,452 --> 00:13:48,275
bunch it's hooey it's it's malarkey i say then of

221
00:13:48,335 --> 00:13:50,317
course we have we have a classic a favorite the

222
00:13:50,376 --> 00:13:52,938
pansexual you know what that is the pansexual of course

223
00:13:53,779 --> 00:13:57,521
Yeah, yeah. You'll have sex with an animal. Anything. Anything

224
00:13:57,541 --> 00:14:00,063
goes. Now, what are you going to do? Anyone going

225
00:14:00,063 --> 00:14:03,485
to eat this meatloaf? I had this book and it

226
00:14:03,586 --> 00:14:06,608
reminded me of this. I told people this. I can

227
00:14:07,308 --> 00:14:08,909
look at a guy and tell if he's had a

228
00:14:08,909 --> 00:14:13,873
vasectomy. Really? His face. The face. And I'm not talking

229
00:14:13,873 --> 00:14:15,674
about, you know. Okay, wait a minute. Let me just

230
00:14:15,694 --> 00:14:17,635
get this straight. Let me just get this straight. So

231
00:14:17,755 --> 00:14:20,537
amongst your many talents, and remember, John has worked for

232
00:14:20,677 --> 00:14:24,820
oil companies. He's a master chef. He's a wine connoisseur.

233
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:27,922
He's a technology expert. He used to hand deliver PC

234
00:14:28,122 --> 00:14:32,565
Magazine to all 30,000 subscribers. Bowler, too. Not only that,

235
00:14:32,805 --> 00:14:35,347
but you can tell just by looking at a guy's

236
00:14:35,407 --> 00:14:39,030
face whether he's had a vasectomy or not. Yeah. Okay.

237
00:14:39,130 --> 00:14:41,271
Now, how I got clued into this, Let me back

238
00:14:41,391 --> 00:14:44,053
up a little bit. Oh, please do. I had this.

239
00:14:44,694 --> 00:14:49,857
Oops, ouch. Backed up too far. So I had this

240
00:14:49,917 --> 00:14:52,419
book, and I just irked to no end that I've

241
00:14:52,479 --> 00:14:54,020
lost this book, although I think I might be able

242
00:14:54,020 --> 00:14:56,942
to find it in one of the library searches that

243
00:14:57,062 --> 00:14:59,163
Google and Microsoft are doing. I think it's still around.

244
00:14:59,183 --> 00:15:02,426
It was a book done in the 20s. It was

245
00:15:02,566 --> 00:15:06,829
a book on health. In the 1920s, vasectomies were used

246
00:15:07,169 --> 00:15:10,591
as a way of making people look more youthful It

247
00:15:10,631 --> 00:15:13,913
was actually a, it wasn't for birth control. It was

248
00:15:14,014 --> 00:15:17,636
done, which I, it was done for the purposes of,

249
00:15:18,457 --> 00:15:20,718
like instead of a facelift, you'd get a vasectomy. Really?

250
00:15:21,038 --> 00:15:22,840
And it would make you look younger. And they showed

251
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:26,842
all these pictures in this book. And I looked at

252
00:15:26,862 --> 00:15:28,824
these pictures and I looked at enough of them. And

253
00:15:28,844 --> 00:15:30,845
then I knew enough guys who had vasectomies that I

254
00:15:30,945 --> 00:15:32,146
look at that and I could see what it does.

255
00:15:32,206 --> 00:15:34,347
It makes, for some reason, and it does, you know,

256
00:15:34,427 --> 00:15:35,768
I talk to people about this, well, it says it

257
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,590
makes no sense because all it does is this and

258
00:15:37,630 --> 00:15:40,031
that. How could it do what you're describing? I'm just

259
00:15:40,091 --> 00:15:44,754
saying. In the 20s. vasectomies were used as a youth

260
00:15:45,335 --> 00:15:49,638
serum. People get a vasectomy and they look younger by

261
00:15:49,878 --> 00:15:51,479
a little bit, but in fact they didn't look younger,

262
00:15:51,479 --> 00:15:53,941
they look different. And it makes your face a little

263
00:15:54,041 --> 00:15:58,004
puffier and a little more, it's a little softer. It's

264
00:15:58,024 --> 00:15:59,805
kind of hard to describe, but I'm telling you the

265
00:15:59,865 --> 00:16:03,767
truth. I have seen, and I've actually done this with

266
00:16:03,887 --> 00:16:07,990
friends that have had vasectomies and just without coming, I

267
00:16:08,010 --> 00:16:09,671
say, I just look at them and say, you've had

268
00:16:09,711 --> 00:16:16,056
a vasectomy, right? the time I'm right. Were we in

269
00:16:16,136 --> 00:16:19,238
time with the Zephyr or what? We started the whole

270
00:16:19,318 --> 00:16:22,580
thing just as the Zephyr appeared. It's a 10-car train

271
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,903
too for some reason. I kept seeing these 10 car

272
00:16:26,023 --> 00:16:28,504
trains for the last week and I'm thinking, as I'm

273
00:16:28,644 --> 00:16:30,986
looking at these trains again, why are they 10 cars

274
00:16:31,026 --> 00:16:34,588
all of a sudden? They've always been eight. 1, 2,

275
00:16:34,729 --> 00:16:39,792
3, 4, 5, 6, 8 cars. It's not early. I'm

276
00:16:39,812 --> 00:16:41,813
telling you, I'm hearing it honking, and I think it's

277
00:16:41,853 --> 00:16:43,855
going to... Well, I mean, I can hear the honk

278
00:16:43,995 --> 00:16:49,238
from Amoryville, this horn they got on these things. effort.

279
00:16:49,358 --> 00:16:53,541
Ah, right in time. Perfect. Happy. It's going to be

280
00:16:53,541 --> 00:16:57,604
a good show. And there goes Zephyr right on top.

281
00:16:59,345 --> 00:17:03,388
I mean, the Judy, there goes the step for. This

282
00:17:03,508 --> 00:17:05,550
is Zephyr, by the way, just for your information. All

283
00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:10,673
right. Go on. There goes the zephyr. Oh! Perfect timing.

284
00:17:12,474 --> 00:17:18,258
Zephyr. Thank goodness. There we go. tell you a couple

285
00:17:18,338 --> 00:17:22,521
salt tips okay john c devorex salt tip of the

286
00:17:22,561 --> 00:17:25,643
day the really great salt in the world that just

287
00:17:25,923 --> 00:17:28,885
for some reason has got it just has everything going

288
00:17:28,965 --> 00:17:33,108
for it are these hand uh these things are pulled

289
00:17:33,148 --> 00:17:37,311
by by individuals uh and various salt marshes and it's

290
00:17:37,792 --> 00:17:40,473
it's french and but they do make it here and

291
00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:45,657
there it's called fleur de sel f-l-e-u-r-d-e-s-e-l and this is

292
00:17:45,777 --> 00:17:49,500
it's a it's an standing solid, especially in a salad

293
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,001
or something that maintains its crunchiness and it's just a

294
00:17:52,061 --> 00:17:55,844
fantastic thing. Well, here's, I got my piece of advice.

295
00:17:55,984 --> 00:17:57,985
All right. I've given this advice before. I'm going to

296
00:17:58,025 --> 00:18:01,828
give it again. Most people that will supervise you throughout

297
00:18:01,888 --> 00:18:07,292
your careers are full of crap. And that's the advice.

298
00:18:07,392 --> 00:18:12,275
The more you know. And they tend to, they can

299
00:18:12,355 --> 00:18:15,397
be played, and I don't like to say that you

300
00:18:15,537 --> 00:18:17,539
want to play people, but they can be played by

301
00:18:17,619 --> 00:18:19,680
just going along with whatever they have to say. Do

302
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,802
not be argumentative. And I'll give two examples. I'll give

303
00:18:22,902 --> 00:18:26,465
one example, a good one. Well, actually, I'll give a

304
00:18:26,485 --> 00:18:31,448
number. I'll generalize. Somebody will say, hey, hey, I don't

305
00:18:31,528 --> 00:18:35,351
like the way you're doing this. and you're doing it

306
00:18:35,391 --> 00:18:38,773
whatever way you're doing it and you instead of saying

307
00:18:38,773 --> 00:18:40,654
well i'm doing it for this reason or that reason

308
00:18:40,734 --> 00:18:44,897
or whatever you say Oh, okay, what do you want

309
00:18:44,917 --> 00:18:46,078
me to do? What do you think I should do

310
00:18:46,138 --> 00:18:50,041
better? I'm all ears. Be very attentive. And then they'll

311
00:18:50,061 --> 00:18:52,102
tell you the way they want you to do something.

312
00:18:53,303 --> 00:18:55,284
And then just keep doing it the way you were

313
00:18:55,344 --> 00:18:57,926
doing it because it's the way you do things. Don't

314
00:18:57,966 --> 00:19:02,269
pay any attention to their advice. And within... I don't

315
00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:04,250
know, a few months, they come back to you and

316
00:19:04,250 --> 00:19:07,112
say, so how's that new way of doing things? And

317
00:19:07,172 --> 00:19:10,355
you say, it's great. You were right. And the guy

318
00:19:10,435 --> 00:19:12,976
will say, yep, I've noticed it. You've changed. You're much

319
00:19:13,096 --> 00:19:17,139
better than you were. And that happens all the time

320
00:19:17,219 --> 00:19:21,943
because everybody thinks they're so important. And hello, eight months

321
00:19:22,003 --> 00:19:26,065
ago. This is exactly what has been prognosticated on this

322
00:19:26,145 --> 00:19:30,769
very program, but it became real when Ticketmaster announced it.

323
00:19:31,109 --> 00:19:36,272
Ticketmaster may require vaccine or testing proof to go to

324
00:19:36,312 --> 00:19:41,036
a concert. This sounds like a vaccine certificate becoming almost

325
00:19:41,076 --> 00:19:43,677
like a passport. Yeah, it might only be the beginning.

326
00:19:43,918 --> 00:19:46,539
What? I mean, who could have foreseen this? We had

327
00:19:46,679 --> 00:19:48,941
no... What? It could be almost... It's almost like a

328
00:19:49,001 --> 00:19:56,526
passport. So Ticketmaster plans to have customers use their cell

329
00:19:56,586 --> 00:19:59,168
phones to verify their vaccination

330
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:03,222
In the past 24 to 72 hours, there are different

331
00:20:03,282 --> 00:20:06,764
types of apps and companies out there that track your

332
00:20:06,844 --> 00:20:09,686
health data. So Ticketmaster will use a combination of a

333
00:20:09,886 --> 00:20:12,828
digital ticketing app with a combination of health info firms

334
00:20:12,908 --> 00:20:17,772
like Clear and IBM that tracks your health information. Nice

335
00:20:17,832 --> 00:20:20,614
to see IBM back in the game of putting numbers

336
00:20:20,694 --> 00:20:22,815
on human beings. They haven't done a real job like

337
00:20:22,855 --> 00:20:32,782
this since Nazi Germany. Jew tracing and tracking program. Look

338
00:20:32,842 --> 00:20:36,324
it up, and they're back in the game. We've got

339
00:20:36,364 --> 00:20:39,226
the documents. Look it up. Do your own research. A

340
00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:42,528
master will use a combination of a digital ticketing app

341
00:20:42,709 --> 00:20:45,571
with a combination of health info firms like Clear and

342
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:48,913
IBM that tracks your health information and then coordinate with

343
00:20:48,933 --> 00:20:52,235
testing companies like LabCorp. So Billboard reports a ticket master

344
00:20:52,275 --> 00:20:55,657
will not be able to store this information or be

345
00:20:55,737 --> 00:20:58,700
able to access your entire medical record. But how it

346
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:01,121
works is that concert goers, you will instruct a lab,

347
00:21:01,461 --> 00:21:04,083
send over your test results to their health pass companies

348
00:21:04,383 --> 00:21:07,746
like Clear, like IBM, which would then be verified in

349
00:21:07,786 --> 00:21:10,828
the Ticketmaster app itself. But you can imagine that it's

350
00:21:10,908 --> 00:21:15,091
not just concerts. Think of movies and also sporting events.

351
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:18,333
What about workplaces in the future? Getting on a plane,

352
00:21:18,513 --> 00:21:20,795
going on a cruise, going to work. What about privacy

353
00:21:20,875 --> 00:21:23,356
concerns as well? They say you can't access your medical

354
00:21:23,456 --> 00:21:27,319
records, but is that discrimination? Something's got to give. That's

355
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:30,001
the way it is. That's the way it is? No.

356
00:21:30,001 --> 00:21:34,004
Barney, you big-headed oaf. No, that's not the way it

357
00:21:34,164 --> 00:21:37,326
is. Something's not got to give. Only if people give

358
00:21:37,386 --> 00:21:40,348
into it. And they're gonna. They're gonna. See, I don't

359
00:21:40,408 --> 00:21:44,150
believe this story is anything more than subtle propaganda to

360
00:21:44,391 --> 00:21:48,654
get you to go get vaccinated. Are you crazy? This

361
00:21:48,894 --> 00:21:52,356
is power and control sitting right out there, and they're

362
00:21:52,416 --> 00:21:55,518
gonna go, oh, we're not like that. We're not actually

363
00:21:55,558 --> 00:21:58,700
gonna do it. Please. I didn't say that. What did

364
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,983
you say? The methodology they're using is a threat mechanism.

365
00:22:03,163 --> 00:22:05,805
Yes. To make it sound as though they're going to

366
00:22:05,885 --> 00:22:08,427
do it. Oh, okay. And they make it sound serious,

367
00:22:08,487 --> 00:22:11,449
and probably Varney thinks they are. I mean, who knows?

368
00:22:11,509 --> 00:22:14,651
But the mechanism is to get you to get vaccinated.

369
00:22:15,312 --> 00:22:19,114
Right, and it's working. But they're never going to implement

370
00:22:19,134 --> 00:22:23,077
this bull crap because it costs people money. Okay, okay.

371
00:22:23,237 --> 00:22:26,139
Redbook putting it in right now. I'm tired. I've got

372
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:29,862
to say this. Ticketmaster will not implement this program. Okay.

373
00:22:30,722 --> 00:22:37,967
Ticketmaster. I'm putting it in. Passport. Today is November 12th,

374
00:22:38,147 --> 00:22:44,492
2020. And A-C, yes. J-C-D, no. And I will be

375
00:22:44,552 --> 00:22:48,334
able to read that. It's absolutely going to be implemented.

376
00:22:48,494 --> 00:22:50,916
You'll never be able to read it because it's never

377
00:22:50,956 --> 00:22:52,997
going to happen. All right. It's in the book. It's

378
00:22:53,037 --> 00:22:57,841
fine. We can agree to disagree. No, we can't. We

379
00:22:57,901 --> 00:23:00,723
cannot agree. You're wrong. You're just wrong. You're just wrong.

380
00:23:00,763 --> 00:23:03,364
I disagree with that idea. Yeah, I disagree with you,

381
00:23:03,625 --> 00:23:05,946
period. Why do people keep saying we can agree to

382
00:23:06,026 --> 00:23:09,188
disagree? Well, it's a way of saying fuck you, I

383
00:23:09,288 --> 00:23:14,692
think. Now that you mention it, hoopin' sucker, I'm getting

384
00:23:14,692 --> 00:23:17,394
a little annoyed by the stay safe thing, too. Who

385
00:23:17,494 --> 00:23:22,097
says stay safe? Everybody. You go to the store. Yeah,

386
00:23:22,137 --> 00:23:25,540
in California they do. Oh, that's like stay safe. We

387
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,502
always joke around that when you're out in the field

388
00:23:28,562 --> 00:23:32,264
in the hurricane. Stay safe. Yeah, same thing. It's just

389
00:23:32,304 --> 00:23:34,866
you go to the store and you say, okay, how's

390
00:23:34,966 --> 00:23:39,309
business? Yeah, good. Okay, so long. Stay safe. Stay safe.

391
00:23:40,009 --> 00:23:45,893
Be well. Just say it constantly. Everybody says it. I

392
00:23:46,134 --> 00:23:49,556
said it once. Now this is bad. So I have...

393
00:23:50,697 --> 00:23:53,399
I think I have a good retort because this is

394
00:23:53,479 --> 00:23:56,901
annoying and we need to stop this. Stay safe. So

395
00:23:57,281 --> 00:23:59,803
we'll try it out. I've received the goods. Okay, thank

396
00:23:59,823 --> 00:24:02,605
you very much, John. All right, I'm gone. Oh, well,

397
00:24:02,625 --> 00:24:07,808
stay safe. Yes, under his eye. and then just walk

398
00:24:07,969 --> 00:24:13,292
off. Stay safe under his eye. If someone says stay

399
00:24:13,372 --> 00:24:16,194
safe and you say yes under his eye or under

400
00:24:16,254 --> 00:24:18,215
his watch, maybe that's not under his eye. Isn't that

401
00:24:18,235 --> 00:24:21,678
the one from? You talking about some religious thing? No,

402
00:24:21,798 --> 00:24:26,321
that's from the Handmaiden's Tale. Oh, I say I never

403
00:24:26,421 --> 00:24:35,968
watched that piece of shit. So clearly a failed attempt

404
00:24:36,048 --> 00:24:39,810
here. Okay, I'm sorry. So I would go, okay, let's

405
00:24:39,870 --> 00:24:42,712
do it again. This time you do it. Okay. All

406
00:24:42,712 --> 00:24:47,015
right. Uh, so, okay, I'll see you later, Adam. Yes,

407
00:24:47,175 --> 00:24:57,722
okay, John, and hey, stay safe. With Jesus. *laughs* that

408
00:24:57,883 --> 00:25:01,285
one a lot I like it a lot. And it's

409
00:25:01,645 --> 00:25:03,987
just a good way. And also, it spreads the word

410
00:25:04,047 --> 00:25:05,988
of the Lord. So it's not a bad idea. It's

411
00:25:06,088 --> 00:25:08,630
not a bad idea. It's not somebody's word, but it's

412
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:14,474
definitely a showstopper. It's definitely a showstopper. Okay, well, let

413
00:25:14,494 --> 00:25:18,056
me try another one. Okay. This time, you just say,

414
00:25:18,136 --> 00:25:20,618
say, right? This is the one I think is maybe

415
00:25:20,698 --> 00:25:23,660
better. Okay. All right. Okay, I'll see you later, Adam.

416
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:31,525
All right, stay safe. Go fuck yourself. What did you

417
00:25:31,626 --> 00:25:36,689
have for breakfast? The following jingle contains content about anal

418
00:25:36,769 --> 00:25:40,712
leakage. However, it also provides advice to finding shoes that

419
00:25:40,792 --> 00:25:44,694
match. Listener discretion is advised. But I have heard of,

420
00:25:44,734 --> 00:25:47,256
here's another one. And you can look this one up.

421
00:25:48,077 --> 00:25:50,659
There are these public poopers and there tend to be

422
00:25:50,719 --> 00:26:05,328
mostly women. Public poopers? God. Hey! The stage came. down

423
00:26:05,328 --> 00:26:20,328
in the Skipping and a dumping Leave this stranger Thumpin'

424
00:26:24,041 --> 00:26:39,041
and you Brown stain girl. Here we go. I'm in

425
00:26:39,572 --> 00:26:41,273
Las Vegas with a group of the people from PC

426
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:46,316
Magazine and some PR woman comes up. and sits there

427
00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:50,599
and starts to talk and then uh she leaves and

428
00:26:50,679 --> 00:26:53,461
rushes off And one of the guys, I don't know

429
00:26:53,541 --> 00:26:55,663
how he knows about this, but he said that she

430
00:26:55,723 --> 00:26:59,345
was, she said he knew that she took it. This

431
00:26:59,485 --> 00:27:03,108
is disgusting. And I apologize to the listeners of this

432
00:27:03,168 --> 00:27:06,070
show for bringing this stuff up. But apparently they like

433
00:27:06,150 --> 00:27:08,832
to go and they just poop in their pants in

434
00:27:08,932 --> 00:27:15,356
a crowd. In their pants? Yes. My brown stain girl.

435
00:27:16,277 --> 00:27:19,219
And then they go off somewhere. And some sort of

436
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:34,319
weird perversion and... Done. What does ball in court mean?

437
00:27:47,078 --> 00:27:49,119
That means we are not playing cards, we are playing

438
00:27:49,199 --> 00:27:55,564
basketball. What? Football. Not tennis? Football. Football. There's no football

439
00:27:55,684 --> 00:27:58,666
courts. You know what it means, the ball is in

440
00:27:58,686 --> 00:28:00,487
your court. What does it mean? Well, the ball is

441
00:28:00,507 --> 00:28:02,008
in your court. And why is he using it as

442
00:28:02,088 --> 00:28:05,210
a phrase? Is it an American phrase? Is it an

443
00:28:05,250 --> 00:28:08,713
international phrase? And what court are we talking about? And

444
00:28:08,773 --> 00:28:12,435
she's explaining, it's bull crap. There is no such thing

445
00:28:12,495 --> 00:28:16,378
as a ball in a court. Okay, you're now taking

446
00:28:16,478 --> 00:28:19,460
it. A phrase has always bugged me. Now the ball's

447
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,982
in your court. Clearly it's bugged you. What am I

448
00:28:23,403 --> 00:28:26,105
doing? Get the ball in there, get the ball out

449
00:28:26,125 --> 00:28:28,946
of here. Okay, I'm glad you got that off your

450
00:28:29,006 --> 00:28:32,729
chest after 60 years. About time. Oh, yes, at minimum.

451
00:28:33,650 --> 00:28:36,592
This is very... Minimum. I mean, it's a... Is it

452
00:28:36,692 --> 00:28:38,793
a tennis court we're talking about? It's a sports ball...

453
00:28:38,813 --> 00:28:42,075
Or a basketball court. A sports ball court. Okay, well,

454
00:28:42,135 --> 00:28:44,357
since you are so bugged about it, I'll look it

455
00:28:44,557 --> 00:28:49,320
up. I can look up the... balls in your court

456
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,962
actually look it up and follow up on this yeah

457
00:28:52,062 --> 00:28:54,924
well of course i mean i this the ball is

458
00:28:54,964 --> 00:28:59,707
your origin and meaning okay oh it is yes the

459
00:28:59,827 --> 00:29:04,831
idiom the it's an idiom john The idiom originates from

460
00:29:04,851 --> 00:29:10,034
the sport of... Tennis. Once the tennis ball has been

461
00:29:10,094 --> 00:29:13,337
hit over the net, thus the onus to act, i.e.

462
00:29:13,497 --> 00:29:16,419
play the next shot, switches to the person whose half

463
00:29:16,579 --> 00:29:20,301
of the court contains the ball. Or the ball is

464
00:29:20,402 --> 00:29:22,723
in your half a court, it should be then. It

465
00:29:22,723 --> 00:29:25,845
should be the ball is in your half court. And

466
00:29:25,945 --> 00:29:32,610
by this, I proclaim today. March 13th, ball in your

467
00:29:32,690 --> 00:29:39,815
half of court day. Yusef's Hummus. Okay. It's not bad.

468
00:29:39,855 --> 00:29:43,978
Yousef's Hummus? Where do you get it? Costco? I don't

469
00:29:43,978 --> 00:29:45,158
know where I had it. You know, I have it

470
00:29:45,158 --> 00:29:46,639
in the refrigerator and I don't know where I bought

471
00:29:46,679 --> 00:29:50,622
it. Now the, which says something. But anyway, the people

472
00:29:50,662 --> 00:29:54,184
out there who like hummus probably have discovered, I mean,

473
00:29:54,204 --> 00:29:56,826
if they ever had real hummus in, you know, made

474
00:29:56,926 --> 00:29:58,908
by an old lady in the basement in a Middle

475
00:29:58,968 --> 00:29:59,968
Eastern restaurant in the middle.

476
00:30:44,890 --> 00:30:46,891
them the numbers out of Africa and they're like, yeah,

477
00:30:46,991 --> 00:30:51,154
so what? You know, the ICUs, they're full, they're full.

478
00:30:51,234 --> 00:30:53,116
Oh, wait, stop right there. Can I play you my

479
00:30:53,196 --> 00:30:55,717
clip before you tell us the story? Oh, if it

480
00:30:55,817 --> 00:30:59,660
is pertinent, of course. South Africa. Our correspondent Nomsa Maseko

481
00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:03,323
is in Johannesburg. She told me hospitals are under strain.

482
00:31:03,763 --> 00:31:07,285
They are severely under strain, particularly in two provinces, the

483
00:31:07,325 --> 00:31:11,929
Western Cape and Guadalupe provinces, where hospitals are at full

484
00:31:11,969 --> 00:31:16,532
capacity, some by up to 140 percent. But it's not

485
00:31:16,632 --> 00:31:20,474
just COVID patients that are filling up those beds, but

486
00:31:20,494 --> 00:31:24,277
it's also trauma cases which are fueled by crime and

487
00:31:24,437 --> 00:31:29,080
alcohol and also road traffic accidents. The sale of alcohol

488
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,783
will be banned with immediate effect in South Africa until

489
00:31:32,883 --> 00:31:36,525
the middle of January next year. Yeah, see, it's exactly

490
00:31:36,565 --> 00:31:39,647
what's going on here, only in South Africa you can

491
00:31:39,807 --> 00:31:41,909
see it and it's out in the open because they're

492
00:31:41,909 --> 00:31:45,852
locked up and they're getting hammered and dying. It's not,

493
00:31:46,292 --> 00:31:48,333
you heard it very clearly. It's not just, it's not

494
00:31:48,413 --> 00:31:50,575
COVID. No, no, it's all the other stuff that's going

495
00:31:50,695 --> 00:31:53,077
on. Well, we've had clips from hospitals saying there's no

496
00:31:53,197 --> 00:31:55,598
COVID patients in the place, but be that as it

497
00:31:55,718 --> 00:31:57,279
may. Yeah, back to the lib jabs. There's a phrase

498
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:59,261
I don't want to use again. So I'm getting to

499
00:31:59,301 --> 00:32:01,622
this thing, and then one of them chimes in and

500
00:32:01,622 --> 00:32:04,905
says, this is great. John's going to obviously not take

501
00:32:04,945 --> 00:32:12,490
the, That moves me up one place. What, in podcaster

502
00:32:12,570 --> 00:32:18,054
land? What is he thinking? In the vaccination line. Oh,

503
00:32:18,154 --> 00:32:23,217
my God. That moves me up one place. Sticking with

504
00:32:23,237 --> 00:32:25,519
the ICU beds for a sec. Boots on the ground

505
00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:29,441
breakdown of the constant lack of ICU beds. Anonymous, one

506
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:32,103
of our producers. The change in narrative behind the shortage.

507
00:32:32,143 --> 00:32:37,387
Local hospitals in Richland and Kenwick, Washington, and spat a

508
00:32:37,467 --> 00:32:40,169
few years ago. It was all about who was allowed

509
00:32:40,189 --> 00:32:42,770
to build more beds for their hospital. The long and

510
00:32:42,810 --> 00:32:45,973
short of the lawsuit is that bed counts are controlled

511
00:32:46,253 --> 00:32:49,255
and awarded by the state department of health. And you

512
00:32:49,415 --> 00:32:51,516
just can't get more beds of any type if you

513
00:32:51,656 --> 00:32:53,538
just, cause you want more, there has to be a

514
00:32:53,598 --> 00:32:56,240
proven need in the area and can't take all the

515
00:32:56,260 --> 00:32:59,062
customers a neighboring hospital might have room for. There you

516
00:32:59,082 --> 00:33:01,303
go. So if you slam every media outlet with, we

517
00:33:01,403 --> 00:33:03,885
don't have enough ICU beds, you can get the public

518
00:33:03,985 --> 00:33:06,507
opinion on your side and get more of the highly

519
00:33:06,707 --> 00:33:09,509
profitable beds you would otherwise not be allowed to have.

520
00:33:09,969 --> 00:33:12,411
You can also use pressure from the quote shortage of

521
00:33:12,491 --> 00:33:14,632
beds to say the standards of the Department of Health

522
00:33:14,692 --> 00:33:16,533
are not right and more beds should be allowed because

523
00:33:16,574 --> 00:33:19,295
of the unprecedented times has shown that we're not prepared.

524
00:33:19,455 --> 00:33:23,358
So this is the undertone. Wow, that's a great note.

525
00:33:23,498 --> 00:33:26,220
Isn't that fantastic? That's a great note and it makes

526
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,183
nothing but sense. Yeah, that's the whole reasoning behind the

527
00:33:30,263 --> 00:33:34,686
hospital bed shortage because you can see video from around

528
00:33:34,726 --> 00:33:38,348
the world people outside of the emergency room. no one's

529
00:33:38,388 --> 00:33:41,711
there there's no one inside it's empty now not all

530
00:33:41,791 --> 00:33:47,495
of them but it seems bull crappy but this this

531
00:33:47,755 --> 00:33:50,176
when i hear this it's all about the money yeah

532
00:33:50,176 --> 00:33:52,558
it's all about the moolah yeah it's all the same

533
00:33:52,638 --> 00:33:57,001
sector i just had an idea so you could say

534
00:33:57,301 --> 00:33:59,483
hey hey dvorak you're taking the vaccine and you can

535
00:33:59,563 --> 00:34:03,265
say no i've decided to give up my place for

536
00:34:03,345 --> 00:34:06,007
my friend what's his name fill in the blank lib

537
00:34:06,087 --> 00:34:09,630
joe needs it more than I do. And then the

538
00:34:09,670 --> 00:34:11,031
next time you can see, you can say it about

539
00:34:11,291 --> 00:34:14,553
anybody. No, I really feel that my next door neighbor.

540
00:34:15,293 --> 00:34:17,395
giving up my spot for him. I'll get to the

541
00:34:17,415 --> 00:34:20,677
back of the line. That's the ticket, baby. Have you

542
00:34:20,737 --> 00:34:22,679
taken the vaccine? No, no, no. I'm giving up my

543
00:34:22,779 --> 00:34:24,760
space for someone else who needs it. But I think

544
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,462
it's better. It's more powerful if you specify it. No,

545
00:34:27,602 --> 00:34:30,724
I think that is another one of your little gimmicks.

546
00:34:30,764 --> 00:34:32,365
You've come up with a number of these. I'll give

547
00:34:32,405 --> 00:34:34,987
you that. It's a toolkit. That was like the different

548
00:34:35,007 --> 00:34:37,809
things you can say to the TSA. You remember those

549
00:34:37,949 --> 00:34:40,531
days? Yeah. I can't lift my arms above my head.

550
00:34:41,171 --> 00:34:43,273
There's a bunch of things you can do, but that

551
00:34:43,373 --> 00:34:45,994
is a great one. And that's what I'm That's exactly

552
00:34:46,014 --> 00:34:47,455
what I'm going to say if people ask me what

553
00:34:47,475 --> 00:34:48,896
I'm going to get. No, you know, I think other

554
00:34:48,896 --> 00:34:50,898
people need it more than I do. And you can

555
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:53,900
just say, go ahead, contact him. Because whenever someone hears,

556
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,822
hey, I'm here with Adam Curry. the vaccine is giving

557
00:34:56,902 --> 00:34:59,344
is spot up in line for you. I'm sure most

558
00:34:59,404 --> 00:35:06,909
people. You are a nice man. best things. I'm in

559
00:35:07,029 --> 00:35:11,272
on this one. Okay, good. Noted. Joshua Baxter in Fort

563
00:35:45,435 --> 00:35:51,979
Where's Dutch retard, which is a contradiction in terms. Whoa.

564
00:35:53,581 --> 00:35:59,905
I'm all over. baby pre you know proto tick tock

565
00:36:00,005 --> 00:36:02,146
back in the day called twigs or whatever the hell

566
00:36:02,206 --> 00:36:10,192
it was fine twigs twigs oh man it's a new

567
00:36:10,292 --> 00:36:14,435
video service by Everybody's... Hey, did you post a twig?

568
00:36:14,515 --> 00:36:17,357
Yeah, I posted a twig. I posted a twig and

569
00:36:17,437 --> 00:36:22,560
a branch. And so, uh, it has a bud. There's

570
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:25,822
a thing about eggs. Uh, everyone's noticed the eggs. We

571
00:36:25,862 --> 00:36:29,605
have big egg producer, egg farm catching fire. There's a

572
00:36:32,267 --> 00:36:37,410
people believe that the feed, the chicken feed has changed.

573
00:36:37,450 --> 00:36:40,733
I have no evidence. There's a lot of people talking

574
00:36:40,813 --> 00:36:46,016
about it. I have no evidence. No, there's no Let

575
00:36:46,056 --> 00:36:50,359
me summarize. It goes like this. To put a guy

576
00:36:50,499 --> 00:36:54,882
on YouTube or TikTok, I've been feeding my chickens this

577
00:36:55,062 --> 00:36:59,826
new, this Purina feed and they haven't. A whole year

578
00:36:59,886 --> 00:37:02,708
this chicken hasn't laid an egg. And I got suspicious,

579
00:37:02,748 --> 00:37:05,109
so I changed the feed. And I gave him some

580
00:37:05,149 --> 00:37:07,671
of this and some of that. They're laying every once

581
00:37:07,771 --> 00:37:10,133
a day, just like usual. Which could just be a

582
00:37:10,173 --> 00:37:13,135
change of feed. I mean, I want to believe it,

583
00:37:13,155 --> 00:37:16,017
but I think it gets much better with this report

584
00:37:16,437 --> 00:37:20,300
that is now just circulating. This is from PubMed. It

585
00:37:21,060 --> 00:37:26,003
looks like mainly Chinese researchers, but it's public. I won't

586
00:37:26,043 --> 00:37:30,967
give away the title. It was published January 2021. Abstract.

587
00:37:31,807 --> 00:37:35,910
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide, and there is

588
00:37:35,950 --> 00:37:39,273
an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic.

589
00:37:40,133 --> 00:37:44,176
This study evaluated the potential efficacy of egg yolk and...

590
00:37:45,657 --> 00:37:50,840
as a neutralizing agent against SARS-CoV-2. We investigated the neutralizing

591
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:56,104
effect of anti-spike S1 IG1. egg yolk antibodies on the

592
00:37:56,164 --> 00:38:00,547
SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the

593
00:38:00,627 --> 00:38:05,350
bindings of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2,

594
00:38:05,971 --> 00:38:09,573
which as we know that receptor but people getting sick.

595
00:38:10,054 --> 00:38:14,577
Our results show that the anti-spike S1 egg yolk antibody

596
00:38:14,697 --> 00:38:21,902
showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, various spike protein

597
00:38:22,002 --> 00:38:25,624
mutants, and even SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. It might be a

598
00:38:25,784 --> 00:38:29,487
feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID-19.

599
00:38:30,528 --> 00:38:34,110
Now we've got a conspiracy theory. That is a beauty.

600
00:38:35,551 --> 00:38:39,434
Wow. Now we've got a conspiracy theory. I'm giving you

601
00:38:39,534 --> 00:38:45,338
10 points for that gem. Thank you. Isn't that cool?

602
00:38:45,458 --> 00:38:48,380
And if you need to eat more eggs? Oh, then

603
00:38:48,740 --> 00:38:51,642
get the book. Go download the book for free. Which

604
00:38:51,682 --> 00:38:54,864
is at too many eggs dot com. I want to

605
00:38:54,924 --> 00:38:58,226
mention I was up in Port Angeles. And I want

606
00:38:58,266 --> 00:39:00,508
to just say anyone who's in the Olympic Peninsula ever,

607
00:39:00,528 --> 00:39:02,309
you've got to make a trip out of your way

608
00:39:02,369 --> 00:39:06,272
to go to Nash's Produce and buy these carrots that

609
00:39:06,332 --> 00:39:10,755
he's bred. These carrots are the most astonishing product I've

610
00:39:10,875 --> 00:39:14,577
ever had insofar as a carrot is concerned. the crunch

611
00:39:14,678 --> 00:39:16,679
on these things this is like a carrot that's not

612
00:39:16,739 --> 00:39:23,904
even refrigerated ah come on that's plywood you're cracking there

613
00:39:24,004 --> 00:39:25,805
that's not really it sounds like a piece of wood

614
00:39:25,945 --> 00:39:34,271
listen yeah that sounds good that's an outstanding sweet that

615
00:39:34,351 --> 00:39:37,813
is an outstanding product right there john c devorek anyway

616
00:39:37,833 --> 00:39:45,118
he's known for these carrots That's my food. People who

617
00:39:45,178 --> 00:39:49,601
need the food news. that you learn only on the

618
00:39:49,661 --> 00:39:53,604
No Agenda Show. And, mind you, that impresses the crap

619
00:39:53,684 --> 00:39:55,605
out of people when you lay that smack down on

620
00:39:55,626 --> 00:39:59,328
them. Are you a guzzler? Yes, the wine is good

621
00:39:59,388 --> 00:39:59,548
here.

622
00:40:45,811 --> 00:40:49,233
from this one post-familiar winery up in Arkansas that makes

623
00:40:49,293 --> 00:40:51,855
a good one. By good, I mean you can actually

624
00:40:51,975 --> 00:40:55,717
drink it. You know, they make a really good one

625
00:40:55,838 --> 00:41:01,001
here in Birmingham. I don't think so. It's actually the

626
00:41:01,061 --> 00:41:10,968
size of a large apricot, each grape. Large apricot. Large

627
00:41:11,248 --> 00:41:26,248
apricot. The great Rihanna with her fabulous song "Bitch Better

628
00:41:31,162 --> 00:41:46,162
Give Me My Money" So in the words of my

629
00:41:47,072 --> 00:41:55,218
late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Oh no! Woohoo!

630
00:41:55,418 --> 00:42:10,418
Yeah, everybody! Oh no! MSNBC everybody. Hitman Al Sharpton spells

631
00:42:11,749 --> 00:42:26,749
respect R-E-S-P-I. What? He's getting lunch at Chipotle. The Tortoise

632
00:42:29,742 --> 00:42:38,467
in the race. Kim Kardashian. Siganoi Weaver. you They're all

633
00:42:38,708 --> 00:42:48,154
jitty. R-E-S-P-I-C-T. There's no real conflict. Resist. We must. Resist.

634
00:42:49,675 --> 00:42:58,181
We must. We must. And we will much about that

635
00:42:59,722 --> 00:43:13,872
be committed. Another culinary tip from John C. Dvorak. The

636
00:43:13,932 --> 00:43:15,913
thing that's interesting about PG Tips to me and a

637
00:43:16,053 --> 00:43:17,654
lot of these other teas, and we were talking about

638
00:43:17,914 --> 00:43:20,336
Sainsbury's has a nice, I think it's called Red Label,

639
00:43:21,477 --> 00:43:25,760
which is a competitor, is that the British, when they

640
00:43:25,780 --> 00:43:29,822
were colonizing the world, they did these long-term deals all

641
00:43:29,903 --> 00:43:35,386
over the place for things like... So they essentially have...

642
00:43:36,467 --> 00:43:40,070
The contract is for... tea providers, but they get some

643
00:43:40,090 --> 00:43:41,450
of the best tea in the world because they kind

644
00:43:41,470 --> 00:43:44,412
of locked down these deals permanently back in the 1800s.

645
00:43:44,733 --> 00:43:49,296
Isn't that in some way related to upcoming December 16th

646
00:43:49,736 --> 00:43:54,940
when we commemorate the Boston Tea Party? Yeah, the Boston

647
00:43:55,020 --> 00:43:58,342
Tea Party, if you study enough American history, of course,

648
00:43:58,442 --> 00:44:01,224
this gets pretty peculiar as to why the Boston Tea

649
00:44:01,284 --> 00:44:03,185
Party took place, but they were trying to shove tea

650
00:44:03,225 --> 00:44:05,067
down everybody's throat and they were also stealing it from

651
00:44:05,127 --> 00:44:09,990
China and making them take opium. Really? That was later.

652
00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:23,939
Here, boys, have some opium. Give us the tea. Woke

653
00:44:23,939 --> 00:44:30,984
up this morning singing a new song. Everything has changed.

654
00:44:32,705 --> 00:44:38,709
Walking around the same old world. It's never gonna be

655
00:44:39,010 --> 00:44:45,294
the same. But in my heart and in my mind,

656
00:44:46,235 --> 00:44:52,719
I'll keep you there to stay I'm gonna miss you

657
00:44:52,839 --> 00:44:59,704
in the morning You're always there for me in the

658
00:44:59,704 --> 00:45:14,704
morning. ♪ in you I'm gonna miss you in the

659
00:45:21,579 --> 00:45:23,579
morning ♪ Is there for me in the morning ♪

660
00:45:29,924 --> 00:45:35,148
In the morning Hope to see you someday in the

661
00:45:35,288 --> 00:45:42,913
morning. I'm gonna miss you. You're always there for me.

662
00:45:43,694 --> 00:45:58,023
I hope to see you someday in the morning. Yeah,

663
00:45:58,084 --> 00:46:00,025
well just pay attention to what's going on, people. You'll

664
00:46:00,045 --> 00:46:02,206
see it. That's why Clooney's always looking down and all

665
00:46:02,266 --> 00:46:05,329
embarrassed. Yeah, Clooney doesn't like what he's up to. No,

666
00:46:05,509 --> 00:46:08,911
and he has conscience, but I think he's like, damn,

667
00:46:08,971 --> 00:46:13,294
man, I got the place and... you know, I got

668
00:46:13,474 --> 00:46:16,976
the lake house, I got the babes, you know, like

669
00:46:17,056 --> 00:46:18,998
no one questions my homosexuality. Babes as it were. Yeah.

670
00:46:19,118 --> 00:46:23,981
No one questions my homosexuality. Right. If you want to

671
00:46:24,061 --> 00:46:26,783
see, but he does take a little swipe now and

672
00:46:26,843 --> 00:46:29,425
again. I mean, if you want, but most of those

673
00:46:29,445 --> 00:46:33,508
movies. There's actually a couple of them he's done, and

674
00:46:33,508 --> 00:46:36,450
they're always the art pieces. The American is a good

675
00:46:36,490 --> 00:46:40,813
movie. It's about an assassin. Yes. Very good movie. Syriana.

676
00:46:41,093 --> 00:46:46,156
Yes, and Men Who Speak to Goats. Speak the goats

677
00:46:46,216 --> 00:46:48,918
and then that one that he won. Men and the

678
00:46:48,958 --> 00:46:53,041
goats who look scared next to them. Yes. The other

679
00:46:53,141 --> 00:46:59,786
one is the one that Swinton won the... Which I

680
00:46:59,866 --> 00:47:01,707
think is just, I've watched that, it's one of those

681
00:47:01,707 --> 00:47:04,069
few movies I actually watch if it's on. What was

682
00:47:04,289 --> 00:47:08,071
that? Let me see. Clooney. Is it on Tuesdays on

683
00:47:08,131 --> 00:47:13,995
CBS at 9, 8 central? Filmography. No. It might be.

684
00:47:14,035 --> 00:47:16,577
Let's see what his filmography is. I like The Men

685
00:47:16,617 --> 00:47:18,358
Who Stared Goats. That was a pretty good movie. It

686
00:47:18,398 --> 00:47:21,240
was weird. He does a lot of films. I mean,

687
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:23,482
this guy's just... And there was droning in that, too.

688
00:47:23,542 --> 00:47:27,344
That was kind of cool. Droning movie. Up in the

689
00:47:27,384 --> 00:47:28,745
Air was actually a good film, but it wasn't a

690
00:47:28,845 --> 00:47:31,687
political movie. It was just about a pathetic guy. Michael

691
00:47:31,747 --> 00:47:36,130
Clayton. That's the name of the movie? Yeah. Michael Clayton

692
00:47:36,291 --> 00:47:39,293
is one of the... It's just a great, great film.

693
00:47:41,094 --> 00:47:45,897
in a big law firm. And it is... And it's

694
00:47:45,917 --> 00:47:48,379
got all kinds of creepy stuff going on. It's really,

695
00:47:48,399 --> 00:47:50,440
if you haven't seen Michael Clayton, you have to watch

696
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,223
it. Just rent it, get it on Netflix, whatever. a

697
00:47:54,263 --> 00:47:58,526
very good no agenda movie tip yes that's your no

698
00:47:58,586 --> 00:48:03,089
agenda movie tip of the day well with the passing

699
00:48:03,169 --> 00:48:05,891
of John C. Dvorak I think is only fitting that

700
00:48:06,031 --> 00:48:11,014
I declare July 20 holiday in the honor of John,

701
00:48:11,394 --> 00:48:16,578
the co-creator of the best podcast in the universe. Meanwhile,

702
00:48:16,798 --> 00:48:21,061
back to the news of the day. Now, I don't

703
00:48:21,101 --> 00:48:23,503
know, is this, do we know, has this been verified?

704
00:48:24,323 --> 00:48:26,305
Did he admit to this or has this been just

705
00:48:26,505 --> 00:48:33,229
doctored? Well, trust but verify. I'm pretty sure it was

706
00:48:33,790 --> 00:48:36,792
real. You can't know for sure. I can't know for

707
00:48:36,832 --> 00:48:38,913
sure because I wasn't watching it, so I do not

708
00:48:38,973 --> 00:48:44,577
know. Okay, well, if it was real, he's Mike. this

709
00:48:44,657 --> 00:48:47,999
this is this is the whole point first the clip

710
00:48:48,220 --> 00:48:51,902
of fart gates we have chris matthews msnbc interviewing eric

711
00:48:52,002 --> 00:48:55,605
swalwell uh who just fresh from the uh from the

712
00:48:55,645 --> 00:49:02,229
hearing In the halls of Congress. So far, it's uncontradicted

713
00:49:02,289 --> 00:49:05,151
that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians

714
00:49:05,191 --> 00:49:11,315
to help him cheat an election. So, yes, the analysis

715
00:49:11,415 --> 00:49:15,138
that you started is spot on. I'm just gonna assume

716
00:49:15,178 --> 00:49:20,902
it's real. This is very simple. This is Chris Williams.

717
00:49:21,062 --> 00:49:26,466
What's his name? Matthews. So he asks a question, they

718
00:49:26,586 --> 00:49:29,708
switch to Swalwell, he's sitting on a chair in a

719
00:49:29,768 --> 00:49:35,031
studio. let one rip here for a second. It bounces

720
00:49:35,212 --> 00:49:37,153
off the chair. That's why you could hear it. It

721
00:49:37,233 --> 00:49:43,417
was Matthews. Matthews dealt it. All right, here's the problem

722
00:49:43,417 --> 00:49:49,742
with that. Uh, Swalwell paused. Like he couldn't talk through

723
00:49:49,802 --> 00:49:52,243
the fart. No, no, no. He heard the fart and

724
00:49:52,303 --> 00:49:55,165
it scared him. It was a blast. He was like,

725
00:49:55,245 --> 00:49:58,267
what the hell did you just do? Someone's fart. Okay,

726
00:49:58,467 --> 00:49:59,648
I'm not going to buy that because...

727
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,362
There's no real time here. There's always a lag, and

728
00:50:03,362 --> 00:50:05,003
the lag is long enough that he would have at

729
00:50:05,023 --> 00:50:07,705
least... No, no. I looked at that angle. They have

730
00:50:07,725 --> 00:50:10,867
a hardwired connection between the halls of Congress and the

731
00:50:10,887 --> 00:50:16,311
studios. There's almost zero lag. But it doesn't take away

732
00:50:16,351 --> 00:50:18,392
from the fact that there's no way you can get

733
00:50:18,432 --> 00:50:23,155
that direct sound from flatulence in the halls of Congress

734
00:50:23,856 --> 00:50:26,397
with just a boom mic or even with a lavalier.

735
00:50:26,478 --> 00:50:29,620
But in a studio against the backdrop of a chair.

736
00:50:31,201 --> 00:50:33,542
I mean, especially if it's a leather chair. Yeah, but

737
00:50:33,622 --> 00:50:37,105
he's going to... Okay, well, it's up for debate. But

738
00:50:37,205 --> 00:50:41,027
so far, it appears as though this event was not

739
00:50:41,108 --> 00:50:43,249
a fake. No, this is a real event. And they

740
00:50:43,329 --> 00:50:45,931
call old dudes like that an old fart for a

741
00:50:45,991 --> 00:50:50,934
reason. Come on. It's logical. Old fart. Why is it

742
00:50:50,934 --> 00:50:54,717
an old fart? Because old guys fart. He was Matthews.

743
00:50:54,777 --> 00:50:58,599
And I think it's shameful that he didn't at least

744
00:50:58,699 --> 00:51:06,105
tweet and let Swalwell off the hook. you Okay, and

745
00:51:06,225 --> 00:51:08,706
that's the fart gate. It didn't last long, but man,

746
00:51:08,806 --> 00:51:10,688
it was a nice break in the day, wasn't it?

747
00:51:11,088 --> 00:51:14,310
It was a break. It was a nice little break.

748
00:51:16,311 --> 00:51:18,493
What is the theory of fractals and what really is

749
00:51:18,533 --> 00:51:21,255
their importance? I can't tell you exactly. I can't explain

750
00:51:21,335 --> 00:51:23,496
the theory. I can kind of understand it before I

751
00:51:23,536 --> 00:51:26,859
can explain it. Okay. But it's essentially that everything is

752
00:51:27,359 --> 00:51:32,443
self-iterative in a way that all nature, and it really

753
00:51:32,483 --> 00:51:35,405
refers mostly to nature, it's self-iterative in a way that

754
00:51:35,445 --> 00:51:40,868
you can actually formulate a structure that is mathematically accurate.

755
00:51:41,168 --> 00:51:42,710
Because no one's ever been able to, there's all these

756
00:51:42,769 --> 00:51:46,372
things over time that they said, look, a mountainside, look

757
00:51:46,492 --> 00:51:49,394
at it, crumble down, say, you know, you can't, there's

758
00:51:49,434 --> 00:51:54,458
no math that can explain what you're looking at. Whereas

759
00:51:54,498 --> 00:51:58,941
mathematicians say you can explain everything with math. And fractal

760
00:51:59,061 --> 00:52:01,903
theory says, no, that's not true. You can explain that

761
00:52:01,943 --> 00:52:04,985
with math if you use fractal math. If you look

762
00:52:05,045 --> 00:52:08,307
at the way fractals work, you can explain, you can

763
00:52:08,367 --> 00:52:11,989
actually explain these natural phenomena, things in nature, like a

764
00:52:12,110 --> 00:52:19,675
mountain. with this modeling that this guy's developed. And what

765
00:52:19,915 --> 00:52:22,537
we think of as fractals in the computer business, or

766
00:52:22,737 --> 00:52:26,479
as Mandelbrot's little designs that he makes, where he takes

767
00:52:26,519 --> 00:52:28,281
one of these formulas, puts it in, and it just

768
00:52:28,281 --> 00:52:30,902
starts to iterate and makes this really funky looking thing.

769
00:52:30,942 --> 00:52:34,385
Yeah, that's a screensaver, you mean. Yes, that kind of

770
00:52:34,425 --> 00:52:37,547
thing. It's a screensaver. This whole theory is based on

771
00:52:37,607 --> 00:52:39,688
a screensaver, ladies and gentlemen. I just want you to

772
00:52:39,728 --> 00:52:47,514
know that. And you think in terms of fractals, for

773
00:52:47,594 --> 00:52:50,856
example, the reason, if you don't know this, that if

774
00:52:50,876 --> 00:52:52,737
you look at a cell phone, a mobile phone from

775
00:52:52,757 --> 00:52:54,358
a few years ago, it used to have an antenna.

776
00:52:54,418 --> 00:52:56,840
Some of them would come out. All the antennas now

777
00:52:56,940 --> 00:52:59,502
are fractal antennas, and they're inside the phone because you

778
00:52:59,522 --> 00:53:03,184
don't need an antenna when you have what essentially is

779
00:53:03,204 --> 00:53:06,467
a fractal antenna, which is a bunch of little things.

780
00:53:06,607 --> 00:53:10,950
Which comes down to the energy within the ether, which

781
00:53:11,030 --> 00:53:16,433
I'm sure is a fractal. these same fractal properties and

782
00:53:16,493 --> 00:53:19,616
that's how maybe we're all connected or how everything starts

783
00:53:19,636 --> 00:53:22,938
to come together as we start to understand all that

784
00:53:22,938 --> 00:53:27,561
wireless shit. I'm going to really be saddened when the

785
00:53:27,621 --> 00:53:29,782
new age people get a hold of this theory and

786
00:53:29,802 --> 00:53:35,326
they start to come up with their crackpot analysis. Hold

787
00:53:35,406 --> 00:53:37,768
on, but when technologists get a hold of it and

788
00:53:37,788 --> 00:53:40,210
start to really understand it, it could be very exciting.

789
00:53:40,250 --> 00:53:42,031
We could get some fantastic shit out of this. Well,

790
00:53:42,051 --> 00:53:45,974
that's how we got the fractal antenna. Right. That's exciting.

791
00:53:46,014 --> 00:53:50,356
We improved text messaging. That is a good job. Wait

792
00:53:50,557 --> 00:53:52,958
a minute. That should be another $800 billion on the

793
00:53:53,058 --> 00:53:57,882
bailout, the stimulus package. But to come up with a

794
00:53:57,942 --> 00:54:01,644
good three-sentence explanation of fractals, I think it'd be valuable.

795
00:54:01,644 --> 00:54:06,027
I'm sure there's one out there. I don't have it.

796
00:54:06,287 --> 00:54:11,251
Wait, I'm just recalling. Yes. Yes, it was around episode

797
00:54:11,311 --> 00:54:14,153
200. Okay. It was 202, as a matter of fact.

798
00:54:14,573 --> 00:54:23,479
Roy Pierce, $1,111.00. What? Yeah. Wow. He came in as

799
00:54:23,559 --> 00:54:26,281
an insta-knight. Yeah, I'll say. He asked listeners to watch

800
00:54:26,341 --> 00:54:31,064
the movie President's Analyst. It was thought to be satire

801
00:54:31,144 --> 00:54:33,946
45 years ago, but turned out to be mostly true.

802
00:54:34,767 --> 00:54:39,470
Wow. Who was in this movie? I vaguely remember. I

803
00:54:39,470 --> 00:54:42,292
think this was with the guy who used to play

804
00:54:42,372 --> 00:54:45,834
our man Flint. I'm guessing. Take a look. I'm taking

805
00:54:45,894 --> 00:54:49,797
a look right now. The President's Analyst, 1967, satirical. This

806
00:54:49,897 --> 00:54:53,219
is from the Book of Knowledge. satirical comedy written by

807
00:54:53,339 --> 00:54:57,562
Theodore Flicker, James Coburn. Okay, that's a real, yeah, that's

808
00:54:57,602 --> 00:55:01,605
a real actor. Uh, see, the film's elements of political

809
00:55:01,665 --> 00:55:04,607
satire, science fiction, resembles many of the spy spoofs that

810
00:55:04,667 --> 00:55:07,609
proliferated in the mid-60s in the wake of the James

811
00:55:07,669 --> 00:55:11,772
Bond phenomenon. Yeah, our man Flint. Wow, John, I'll give

812
00:55:11,792 --> 00:55:16,615
you, yeah, that's right. um okay the film's themes include

813
00:55:16,815 --> 00:55:21,098
modern ethics and privacy concerns specifically regarding the intrusion of

814
00:55:21,158 --> 00:55:25,822
the telecom system working with the u.s government into the

815
00:55:25,862 --> 00:55:29,364
private lives of the country's citizens oh my god this

816
00:55:29,464 --> 00:55:31,986
is so on my list yeah you have to watch

817
00:55:32,026 --> 00:55:34,668
i've seen it recently it is very fun and it's

818
00:55:34,728 --> 00:55:38,690
funny it's a funny movie uh although colburn gets on

819
00:55:38,730 --> 00:55:41,512
your nerves because he plays his character it's just a

820
00:55:41,552 --> 00:55:44,014
i don't know well it's also the actually the acting

821
00:55:44,094 --> 00:55:47,076
from the 60s. From the era. Yeah, that's a little

822
00:55:47,436 --> 00:55:49,518
much. Also, the sets are really bright and all the

823
00:55:49,558 --> 00:55:52,119
rest. Okay, cool. Anyway, good. That's our tip of the

824
00:55:52,180 --> 00:55:56,743
day. Now, let's look at some U.S. clampdown that's taking

825
00:55:56,823 --> 00:55:59,885
place. We got Twitter. Twitter kicked off the President of

826
00:55:59,885 --> 00:56:03,087
the United States is making sure you can't post anything

827
00:56:03,167 --> 00:56:08,251
about vaccines or about variants or anything really political or

828
00:56:08,611 --> 00:56:11,513
medical. It just kicked off. I don't have a Facebook

829
00:56:11,573 --> 00:56:14,395
account, but I think it's pretty much the same, what

830
00:56:14,435 --> 00:56:20,039
happened with Instagram. And there's really one place left that

831
00:56:20,119 --> 00:56:23,181
for some reason, you know, they can't control. It's becoming

832
00:56:23,321 --> 00:56:28,784
very, very annoying to those that control the speech. ProPublica

833
00:56:29,285 --> 00:56:33,988
journalist, I say that with emphasis, Lydia DePillis wrote quite

834
00:56:34,028 --> 00:56:37,811
an article about the evilness of podcasting. That's what you

835
00:56:37,851 --> 00:56:41,513
and I do. Yes, yes, podcasting. Because they can't control

836
00:56:41,613 --> 00:56:45,076
it. There is no social control. over what these damn

837
00:56:45,176 --> 00:56:50,539
podcasters are saying. And this is a problem. And Apple

838
00:56:50,659 --> 00:56:53,742
is not being cooperative. So how can it be that

839
00:56:53,882 --> 00:56:57,024
this kind of junk is allowed on Apple's podcast app,

840
00:56:57,104 --> 00:56:59,586
right? But not on Twitter, not on YouTube. What's the

841
00:56:59,646 --> 00:57:02,347
difference here? Yeah, well, in America, we have this policy

842
00:57:02,407 --> 00:57:04,749
where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules

843
00:57:04,849 --> 00:57:08,271
as to what content they will allow. What a crazy

844
00:57:08,391 --> 00:57:11,313
country. Can you believe that, John? We have these weird

845
00:57:11,494 --> 00:57:15,977
rules in America want to do and they're not like

846
00:57:16,077 --> 00:57:19,479
china where this woman clearly takes her cues from or

847
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:22,181
that where the government tells everybody we got rules and

848
00:57:22,241 --> 00:57:25,483
regs yeah well in america we have this policy where

849
00:57:25,523 --> 00:57:27,865
we allow tech platforms to make their own rules as

850
00:57:27,925 --> 00:57:30,627
to what content they will allow and the thing with

851
00:57:30,707 --> 00:57:32,968
podcasts is that it's a little bit different in that

852
00:57:33,629 --> 00:57:37,771
a company like apple can say we just list podcasts

853
00:57:37,852 --> 00:57:40,794
that we essentially run a directory we don't host them

854
00:57:41,294 --> 00:57:44,376
so that content is actually housed somewhere else but we

855
00:57:44,436 --> 00:57:48,219
allow people to access it through our platform. So there's

856
00:57:48,219 --> 00:57:49,900
a little bit of a dodge that they do there.

857
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:54,023
But they do have terms of service that says, here's

858
00:57:54,023 --> 00:57:56,845
what we will and won't allow. It's just very, very

859
00:57:56,965 --> 00:57:59,847
loose. And so a company like YouTube, which is Google,

860
00:58:00,287 --> 00:58:06,011
or Twitter has actually established pretty proactive policies in terms

861
00:58:06,071 --> 00:58:09,173
of election misinformation, which Apple just simply doesn't do at

862
00:58:09,293 --> 00:58:13,136
all. Apple is not doing it right. So, you know,

863
00:58:13,276 --> 00:58:17,639
they're trying to go after Apple. Very, very light touch.

864
00:58:17,939 --> 00:58:20,681
Because, you know, I actually like my iPhone. I don't

865
00:58:20,701 --> 00:58:22,982
want to piss anybody off. I might not get the

866
00:58:23,062 --> 00:58:26,425
new beta. Because that's how these a-holes think. But the

867
00:58:26,505 --> 00:58:29,427
worst part of this, the worst part of this woman

868
00:58:29,507 --> 00:58:32,209
is what comes next. And I'll just say this woman.

869
00:58:32,329 --> 00:58:35,251
I say with disdain. Well, let's back up again and

870
00:58:35,611 --> 00:58:38,853
give us who is this woman again? Lydia DePillis from

871
00:58:38,973 --> 00:58:43,857
ProPublica. Oh, ProPublica person. Yes. person. They get a lot

872
00:58:43,917 --> 00:58:46,238
of air time, the ProPublica people. It's just like a

873
00:58:46,318 --> 00:58:50,521
group of idealist journalists. You'll remember that David Korn launched

874
00:58:50,601 --> 00:58:56,305
the whole PP tape Russian collusion dossier on ProPublica. Okay.

875
00:58:57,226 --> 00:59:01,669
I think that did it. That summarizes everything. So of

876
00:59:01,989 --> 00:59:05,451
all the things that she's about to say... So we

877
00:59:05,551 --> 00:59:10,175
got another situation here where journalists are bitching and moaning

878
00:59:10,215 --> 00:59:15,978
about free speech. journalists that don't like WikiLeaks because it

879
00:59:16,019 --> 00:59:19,021
reveals too many secret documents, which they should be happy

880
00:59:19,081 --> 00:59:22,283
to see. Or they're the same ones as Slammin' Snowden

881
00:59:22,383 --> 00:59:25,285
or the same journalists. I'm thinking of Richard Engel in

882
00:59:25,365 --> 00:59:28,127
this case, who doesn't want to see the release CIA

883
00:59:28,347 --> 00:59:32,930
torture memo. These types of people. So ProPublica is anti,

884
00:59:33,270 --> 00:59:38,174
they're anti-journalists journalists. Nice. Good for them. She is advocating

885
00:59:38,294 --> 00:59:41,836
for shutting down speech that she doesn't agree with. That

886
00:59:41,916 --> 00:59:44,998
is her article and you know to say well Apple

887
00:59:45,038 --> 00:59:47,700
has a dodge here because they're just an index but

888
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,062
they have times the service and I'm following all that

889
00:59:50,762 --> 00:59:53,784
but what blows me away is this journalist who I'm

890
00:59:53,884 --> 00:59:56,886
going to presume is a technology journalist what she says

891
00:59:56,986 --> 00:59:59,948
next is the biggest pile of horse crap

892
01:00:00,460 --> 01:00:03,122
in the world. There's obviously been so much discussion, particularly,

893
01:00:03,142 --> 01:00:05,743
I think you're seeing it on the conservative side, discussion

894
01:00:05,803 --> 01:00:08,865
about cancel culture, deplatforming, right? Where is free speech, etc.

895
01:00:09,526 --> 01:00:11,267
It seems like, as you report, it may just be

896
01:00:11,287 --> 01:00:13,989
a matter of time before there is a buildup of

897
01:00:14,149 --> 01:00:17,972
alternative streaming universes, ones that don't depend on these tech

898
01:00:18,072 --> 01:00:21,574
giants at all. How hard is that, though, to actually

899
01:00:21,594 --> 01:00:23,576
start happening, or how likely is it? Well, at the

900
01:00:23,636 --> 01:00:30,380
moment, it's very difficult. The landscape of tech platforms moment

901
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:35,864
is pretty consolidated and that most people consume content through

902
01:00:36,124 --> 01:00:39,246
means that are supported by companies like Amazon through its

903
01:00:39,326 --> 01:00:42,769
Amazon Web Services product or through Apple through its iPhone

904
01:00:42,889 --> 01:00:45,591
or through Google through its browser. So in order to

905
01:00:45,691 --> 01:00:49,193
build up a tech ecosystem that is free of all

906
01:00:49,253 --> 01:00:53,756
those where you could broadcast whatever content you like, then

907
01:00:54,397 --> 01:00:57,539
it's the kind of infrastructure that doesn't really exist right

908
01:00:57,579 --> 01:01:00,641
now. Sites like Gab are really straining under the weight

909
01:01:00,661 --> 01:01:05,204
of new traffic that they're receiving. So this under-informed, over-socialized

910
01:01:05,384 --> 01:01:09,447
twat is telling us the infrastructure doesn't really exist to

911
01:01:09,507 --> 01:01:12,289
set up alternatives because, you know, you're really beholden to

912
01:01:12,329 --> 01:01:16,512
the App Store and Amazon Web Services. I challenge you

913
01:01:16,672 --> 01:01:20,254
to a debate, punk. This is nonsense. Look at us.

914
01:01:20,474 --> 01:01:23,456
We are literally doing it. There are at least five

915
01:01:23,596 --> 01:01:27,439
major video sources out there now. Thank you. One of

916
01:01:27,479 --> 01:01:32,202
which is noagendatube.com. Noagendatube, which I wouldn't put in the

917
01:01:32,262 --> 01:01:35,344
top five, but it's there. And then there's obviously the

918
01:01:35,425 --> 01:01:38,447
Federated and other chat systems. And then there's things like

919
01:01:38,567 --> 01:01:42,529
signals and telegrams. All these things are out there, which

920
01:01:42,569 --> 01:01:45,952
people are condemning them to. And how about podcastindex.org? which

921
01:01:46,032 --> 01:01:49,134
is talking about podcasting. And then the podcast index, by

922
01:01:49,194 --> 01:01:51,796
the way, which is your baby. You can toot your

923
01:01:51,836 --> 01:01:54,017
own horn, but as far as I'm concerned, I'll toot

924
01:01:54,077 --> 01:01:57,600
it. This is the alternative of alternatives that will prevent

925
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:02,083
the future demise of podcasting. And it's something you recognized

926
01:02:02,143 --> 01:02:04,184
about a year or two ago, probably because of this

927
01:02:04,284 --> 01:02:08,187
show. Of course. And you decided to go ahead with

928
01:02:08,247 --> 01:02:12,870
this podcasting 2.0, which has taken off quite nicely and

929
01:02:12,930 --> 01:02:17,233
eventually will be absorbed into the great ecosystem. She's full

930
01:02:17,293 --> 01:02:21,176
of crap. Go podcasting! But I will say this. The

931
01:02:21,236 --> 01:02:24,498
pathetic thing is that she's got a voice and people

932
01:02:24,558 --> 01:02:28,401
are asking her. Why is she even around? Well, you

933
01:02:28,441 --> 01:02:31,363
know what? She is the new wave. This is the

934
01:02:31,423 --> 01:02:33,664
same type of person who was at the New York

935
01:02:33,724 --> 01:02:37,587
Times. So back to real news, by the way, I

936
01:02:37,687 --> 01:02:42,070
have a complaint. So I go to, I noticed that

937
01:02:42,130 --> 01:02:46,073
I didn't realize that this is an ongoing complaint. I

938
01:02:46,753 --> 01:02:49,395
noticed it the other day. So I'm at Monterey Foods

939
01:02:49,455 --> 01:02:53,698
buying vegetables, which is a green grocer, and it's a

940
01:02:53,718 --> 01:02:58,301
good one. And I'm in there. And, of course, it's

941
01:02:58,781 --> 01:03:01,463
in Berkeley, so it's like at a Berkeley style of

942
01:03:01,563 --> 01:03:04,105
customer. In other words, people that look like they're just

943
01:03:04,165 --> 01:03:11,090
about to die. Were any in the PETA? They're all

944
01:03:11,150 --> 01:03:14,872
in the PETA camp. Many of them, you know. So

945
01:03:14,912 --> 01:03:17,634
they're keeling over. They're holding on to their Zimmer frames.

946
01:03:19,015 --> 01:03:21,157
So that's just like a horrible group. We're going to

947
01:03:21,177 --> 01:03:23,698
get in so much trouble. Every once in a while

948
01:03:23,758 --> 01:03:28,001
I've seen some like a younger woman that maybe just

949
01:03:28,061 --> 01:03:31,664
moved into the area and she goes into Monterey Foods

950
01:03:31,804 --> 01:03:35,126
with her makeup on because she's going shopping and she

951
01:03:35,186 --> 01:03:38,188
feels obliged because maybe she's from the Midwest or Texas

952
01:03:38,809 --> 01:03:42,271
where she feels obliged to actually look presentable in public

953
01:03:42,371 --> 01:03:46,514
as opposed to wearing baggy ass crap and hair with

954
01:03:46,994 --> 01:03:52,418
gobs of goo like dog shit. kind of in it.

955
01:03:52,978 --> 01:03:54,719
I'm telling you, I'm just describing the scene so you

956
01:03:54,739 --> 01:03:56,501
can get a feeling for it. I'm with you. I'm

957
01:03:56,621 --> 01:04:00,603
smelling the dog shit. You see these women that come

958
01:04:00,684 --> 01:04:02,485
in, they're made up, and they walk in and they

959
01:04:02,545 --> 01:04:04,906
take one look around, they stop like they hit a

960
01:04:04,987 --> 01:04:09,009
brick wall right at the entrance. You see them, boom,

961
01:04:09,089 --> 01:04:11,891
they hit this brick wall and then they freeze and

962
01:04:11,931 --> 01:04:13,652
you see their eyes going back and forth and back

963
01:04:13,692 --> 01:04:17,315
and forth and they slowly walk backwards back into the

964
01:04:17,375 --> 01:04:21,878
parking lot. store i have seen it's like going into

965
01:04:21,998 --> 01:04:27,041
a gay bar it's like this isn't right just can

966
01:04:27,041 --> 01:04:29,923
i have my coat back there used to this happened

967
01:04:30,264 --> 01:04:31,645
we had a when i was in i think it

968
01:04:31,685 --> 01:04:34,687
was just uh in college or something we were floating

969
01:04:34,727 --> 01:04:37,409
around doing bar hopping and there used to be this

970
01:04:37,429 --> 01:04:40,230
place i realized it was a gay bar called mike's

971
01:04:40,230 --> 01:04:42,432
i think it was called mike's pool hall hall and

972
01:04:42,432 --> 01:04:44,233
it was in san francisco in the north beach area

973
01:04:44,634 --> 01:04:46,074
and it was like three or four of us we

974
01:04:46,175 --> 01:04:48,136
did that exact same thing we walked in and we

975
01:04:48,236 --> 01:04:50,638
just hit this brick wall. It was just like a

976
01:04:50,798 --> 01:04:54,680
whole, like 500 guys turned around and looked at you.

977
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:59,043
It was like, what? Oh, oops. And then we slowly

978
01:04:59,063 --> 01:05:03,086
walked backwards. Okay. So I'm at the Monterey Foods. And

979
01:05:03,186 --> 01:05:06,949
I'm trying to, you know, check out. And there is,

980
01:05:07,009 --> 01:05:12,072
the line is held up. Because apparently there was some

981
01:05:12,633 --> 01:05:18,056
kind of a middle-aged gray-haired frumpy woman that was grousing

982
01:05:18,577 --> 01:05:22,860
because she had brought her canvas bags and they had

983
01:05:22,980 --> 01:05:28,563
mistakenly packed the vegetables into a sack of normal paper.

984
01:05:28,684 --> 01:05:32,046
Oh, no, the horrors of it. It was, it was.

985
01:05:33,007 --> 01:05:35,488
They had to stop the presses. They had to unpack

986
01:05:35,488 --> 01:05:39,691
the... Let me see your supervisor! They had to unpack

987
01:05:39,831 --> 01:05:44,374
the paper bag as they repacked it into her beat-up

988
01:05:44,534 --> 01:05:47,677
old dirty canvas bags that looked like they hadn't been

989
01:05:47,737 --> 01:05:51,559
washed for like a year at least. And, you know,

990
01:05:51,579 --> 01:05:54,341
so I realized that there's this trend. It's actually died

991
01:05:54,421 --> 01:05:56,863
off a little bit. But there was a trend for

992
01:05:56,943 --> 01:05:59,284
a while where it was cool to have a canvas

993
01:05:59,465 --> 01:06:03,127
bag that you'd drag to the store. And I know

994
01:06:03,187 --> 01:06:05,128
in Europe this is always promoted because they charge you

995
01:06:05,188 --> 01:06:07,630
like a nickel for the bags there. Yeah, they do

996
01:06:07,770 --> 01:06:11,493
it at St. Thanks, Barry. Yeah, well, all throughout France,

997
01:06:11,553 --> 01:06:13,314
I know you have to pay for the bag. It's

998
01:06:13,394 --> 01:06:15,936
kind of like, it's very confusing to people who aren't

999
01:06:15,936 --> 01:06:21,399
used to paying for a bag that costs like 0.001

1000
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,462
cents with a plastic. Oh, yeah. But, okay, whatever. Anyway,

1001
01:06:25,562 --> 01:06:28,064
so, but there was this trend for a while, and

1002
01:06:28,084 --> 01:06:30,185
people were having, and so everyone had these, you know,

1003
01:06:30,266 --> 01:06:34,308
these grimy old canvas bags, which didn't, you know, they

1004
01:06:34,348 --> 01:06:36,470
didn't really hold that much, as a matter of fact.

1005
01:06:37,190 --> 01:06:39,392
And, I don't know, it was just galling to me.

1006
01:06:39,532 --> 01:06:42,314
having to sit there while she was making all these

1007
01:06:42,394 --> 01:06:46,897
demands on the staff. Imagine the base. My favorite debater

1008
01:06:47,157 --> 01:06:50,639
that I saved her clips for last. Amy Klobuchar. Yes.

1009
01:06:50,860 --> 01:06:55,323
I thought she was fantastic. I love Amy Klobuchar. Yeah,

1010
01:06:55,443 --> 01:06:59,786
as a comedian. Let me tell you, if I had

1011
01:06:59,886 --> 01:07:03,248
to choose from any person on that stage, I'd choose

1012
01:07:03,308 --> 01:07:05,429
her. Well, let's listen to a couple of things I

1013
01:07:05,510 --> 01:07:07,471
got from her. For one thing, I've got a pretty

1014
01:07:07,511 --> 01:07:10,013
good ISO. It's even called a pretty good ISO. I

1015
01:07:10,153 --> 01:07:16,157
think that sounds pretty good. No, that's our end of

1016
01:07:16,197 --> 01:07:19,619
show right there. I'm putting it into the slot just

1017
01:07:19,699 --> 01:07:21,981
in case. All right, here. You know, we like to

1018
01:07:21,981 --> 01:07:26,144
talk about people dropping the T. Oh, yeah. This is

1019
01:07:26,264 --> 01:07:29,026
an absolute beauty because I didn't know you could drop

1020
01:07:29,086 --> 01:07:32,948
the T with this word. My Republican opponents have gotten

1021
01:07:33,168 --> 01:07:39,533
out of politics for good. - Potence? Opponent. What was

1022
01:07:39,673 --> 01:07:41,934
that? Let me just show it. She's trying to say

1023
01:07:41,994 --> 01:07:48,339
opponent. My Republican opponent. Opponent. She's dropping a P. She's

1024
01:07:48,379 --> 01:07:53,402
dropping a P-anity. Opponents. My Republican opponents have gotten out

1025
01:07:53,502 --> 01:07:58,306
of politics for good. Yeah, under stress. People do make

1026
01:07:58,386 --> 01:08:02,188
mistakes. Oh, she was shaking like a leaf, as usual.

1027
01:08:02,248 --> 01:08:04,610
No, it wasn't as bad as it has been in

1028
01:08:04,670 --> 01:08:07,212
the past. It wasn't as bad as the first debate,

1029
01:08:07,252 --> 01:08:09,833
but it was bad considering how many she's done of

1030
01:08:09,953 --> 01:08:13,716
these. She's nervous sounding. As an eye twitcher and a

1031
01:08:14,356 --> 01:08:17,098
Tourette's sufferer, it doesn't bother me. I think it makes

1032
01:08:17,118 --> 01:08:20,341
her look interesting. I think worse than that is still

1033
01:08:20,441 --> 01:08:23,503
the schoolboy thing where Bernie's holding his hand up for

1034
01:08:23,563 --> 01:08:25,724
the teacher to call on him, like throughout the entire...

1035
01:08:25,764 --> 01:08:30,648
entire debate. Call on me, teacher. And then Tom Steyer,

1036
01:08:30,728 --> 01:08:33,850
by the way, when he talks, first of all, he

1037
01:08:33,890 --> 01:08:36,211
has a fake smile at the beginning because I guess

1038
01:08:36,231 --> 01:08:38,653
somebody told him, hey, Tom, smile a little bit. So

1039
01:08:38,713 --> 01:08:41,495
he puts on this fake, stupid looking smile and then

1040
01:08:41,535 --> 01:08:43,937
he goes right back into his dour look and then

1041
01:08:44,057 --> 01:08:46,999
he rolls his head in a circle as he talks.

1042
01:08:48,039 --> 01:08:51,922
And it's clockwise and he's rolling his head in a

1043
01:08:52,002 --> 01:08:55,745
circle as he talks and I'm watching him. Whoa. Here's

1044
01:08:55,745 --> 01:08:58,447
Amy talking about her one of her friends whose name

1045
01:08:58,507 --> 01:09:01,349
she can't remember. This is the big gaffe. What what

1046
01:09:01,389 --> 01:09:03,350
do you say to people who who say that a

1047
01:09:03,390 --> 01:09:06,872
woman can't win this election? I hear that when you

1048
01:09:06,932 --> 01:09:10,215
look at the facts. Michigan has a woman governor right

1049
01:09:10,315 --> 01:09:13,897
now and she beat a Republican, Gretchen Whitmer. Kansas has

1050
01:09:14,077 --> 01:09:16,939
a woman governor right now and she beat Chris Kobach.

1051
01:09:17,379 --> 01:09:20,822
And her name is I'm very proud to know her

1052
01:09:21,122 --> 01:09:28,587
and her name is Governor Kelly. Thank you. Yes! Her

1053
01:09:28,667 --> 01:09:34,031
name is... But keep your eye on her! She's got

1054
01:09:34,251 --> 01:09:38,574
something going. And by the way, she also has her

1055
01:09:38,654 --> 01:09:41,436
lipstick on like it's a big square block of lipstick.

1056
01:09:42,116 --> 01:09:44,698
So she looks like a kind of a Nick Parks

1057
01:09:44,778 --> 01:09:48,320
character, you know, Wallace and Gromit. It's just this funny

1058
01:09:48,421 --> 01:09:54,625
look. Well, there you go. Cheap Greek wine. As long

1059
01:09:54,625 --> 01:09:56,846
as it doesn't, you know, the wine that used to

1060
01:09:56,926 --> 01:09:59,848
be. popular or not.

1061
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,520
It was never really popular, it was just kind of

1062
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:05,623
a curiosity that the Greeks supposedly drank, and even though

1063
01:10:05,623 --> 01:10:07,324
I've never run into a Greek that liked this stuff,

1064
01:10:07,385 --> 01:10:12,208
which is Retsina. What's it called? Retsina. Retsina? And I,

1065
01:10:12,768 --> 01:10:14,509
last time I was in Greece, I always make sure

1066
01:10:14,529 --> 01:10:16,571
to have a glass of the best Retsina I can

1067
01:10:16,651 --> 01:10:20,013
find, which is like drinking, I don't know what it

1068
01:10:20,013 --> 01:10:22,515
is. It's the worst product in the world. Essentially what

1069
01:10:22,595 --> 01:10:26,878
it is, is some sort of a wine that harkens

1070
01:10:27,018 --> 01:10:30,700
back to the Greco-Roman times when they, to seal the

1071
01:10:30,820 --> 01:10:35,003
jugs of wine, they used a tree resin. as a

1072
01:10:35,063 --> 01:10:37,905
cork and so the tree resin or they put a

1073
01:10:37,945 --> 01:10:39,707
piece of block of wood in there and put some

1074
01:10:39,827 --> 01:10:43,209
resin but there's resin involved and the resin would always

1075
01:10:43,329 --> 01:10:45,771
leach into the wine and make it taste like tree

1076
01:10:45,891 --> 01:10:48,132
resin so you was like drinking a little bit like

1077
01:10:48,152 --> 01:10:51,515
drinking turpentine and it's just really one of the most

1078
01:10:51,535 --> 01:10:54,156
gosh awful things in the world uh and that's really

1079
01:10:54,216 --> 01:10:59,280
what cheap greek wine is okay just a little little

1080
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,822
lecture for the people they always want more wine information

1081
01:11:01,862 --> 01:11:05,044
yeah Now there's your wine tip of the day. Look

1082
01:11:05,084 --> 01:11:06,825
for some Razzina. They do bring it in the United

1083
01:11:06,865 --> 01:11:09,187
States. You can buy it at a store. It's very

1084
01:11:09,327 --> 01:11:12,249
inexpensive. It's like five bucks a bottle, maybe six. And

1085
01:11:12,309 --> 01:11:14,310
you can try it. Well, it sounds like something not

1086
01:11:14,330 --> 01:11:17,612
to try, actually. Well, you should have it once in

1087
01:11:17,652 --> 01:11:21,675
your life. It's so obvious now. This is a complete

1088
01:11:21,695 --> 01:11:24,677
destabilization of Europe, and we're going to squash them like

1089
01:11:24,697 --> 01:11:27,019
a bug, like a bug under a bomb. Well, ask

1090
01:11:27,019 --> 01:11:33,743
the EU, as our friend Newland said. Oh, goodness. this

1091
01:11:33,823 --> 01:11:38,186
clip and we listen to FDEU. We start to understand

1092
01:11:38,246 --> 01:11:47,733
what might actually be going on. Not everyone understands this

1093
01:11:47,733 --> 01:11:49,494
because they weren't around when we played this the first

1094
01:11:49,534 --> 01:11:54,257
time in 2014. This is when the U.S. was installing

1095
01:11:54,337 --> 01:11:58,800
a new government into Ukraine and Victoria Nuland was caught

1096
01:11:58,900 --> 01:12:03,664
with, well, was recorded at high quality. Very high quality

1097
01:12:03,744 --> 01:12:06,886
by the Russians, obviously. On a phone call where she

1098
01:12:06,946 --> 01:12:09,728
was talking to her compatriot who I think was, was

1099
01:12:09,788 --> 01:12:12,350
he the ambassador at the time? I'm not sure, ambassador.

1100
01:12:12,630 --> 01:12:14,411
Maybe. But they were discussing, you know, oh, who we

1101
01:12:14,411 --> 01:12:16,833
got to put in? Now, Klitsch is no good. We

1102
01:12:16,913 --> 01:12:18,534
got to have that guy in. Yeah, we can have

1103
01:12:18,614 --> 01:12:20,876
Biden come out here and bless the deal. He'll kiss

1104
01:12:20,956 --> 01:12:24,578
the babies. It'll all be good, Biden. Biden. And then

1105
01:12:24,898 --> 01:12:26,299
it was like, well, you know, they're not going to

1106
01:12:26,359 --> 01:12:28,701
like what we're doing, the EU. And then she just

1107
01:12:28,741 --> 01:12:31,843
said that. Fuck the EU. And there you have it.

1108
01:12:31,923 --> 01:12:35,926
With great disdain. Yes. Should we play that clip again?

1109
01:12:35,966 --> 01:12:39,688
What do you think? I think we're in play. We're

1110
01:12:39,728 --> 01:12:44,792
in play. The Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron

1111
01:12:44,872 --> 01:12:48,594
here, especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister.

1112
01:12:48,694 --> 01:12:51,356
And you've seen some of my notes on the troubles

1113
01:12:51,416 --> 01:12:53,198
in the marriage right now. So we're trying to get

1114
01:12:53,198 --> 01:12:55,639
a read really fast on where he is. Listen to

1115
01:12:55,699 --> 01:12:59,602
these terms they use. We're in play. Yeah, like we

1116
01:12:59,662 --> 01:13:01,423
got a little trouble here on the marriage because they're

1117
01:13:01,463 --> 01:13:06,346
just like shotgun wedding. We were fusing everything together, handing

1118
01:13:06,407 --> 01:13:09,389
out cookies. This stuff. But I think your argument to

1119
01:13:09,509 --> 01:13:11,310
him, which you'll need to make, I think that's the

1120
01:13:11,370 --> 01:13:14,132
next phone call we want to set up, is exactly

1121
01:13:14,172 --> 01:13:17,614
the one you made to Yachts. That's Yachts and Yuck,

1122
01:13:17,674 --> 01:13:20,336
who later did become prime minister for a moment. Put

1123
01:13:20,396 --> 01:13:22,277
him on the spot on where he fits in this

1124
01:13:22,297 --> 01:13:24,959
scenario. And I'm very glad he said what he said

1125
01:13:25,039 --> 01:13:29,462
in response. We should also mention that Klitschko is currently

1126
01:13:29,542 --> 01:13:35,006
the mayor. The mayor of Kiev. Kiev. Good. So I

1127
01:13:35,066 --> 01:13:36,967
don't think Klitsch should go into the government. I don't

1128
01:13:36,987 --> 01:13:38,809
think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea.

1129
01:13:38,849 --> 01:13:41,250
Yeah, so I just make it not happen. That's how

1130
01:13:41,370 --> 01:13:45,913
democratically elected countries work. Victoria Nuland says, I don't think

1131
01:13:45,953 --> 01:13:50,997
he should go in, and he doesn't. Yeah, I mean,

1132
01:13:51,017 --> 01:13:55,800
I guess. He's not agreeing, by the way. You think...

1133
01:13:57,742 --> 01:13:59,543
In terms of him not going into the government, just

1134
01:13:59,563 --> 01:14:01,404
let him sort of stay out and do his political

1135
01:14:01,484 --> 01:14:05,707
homework and stuff. I'm just thinking... In terms of sort

1136
01:14:05,727 --> 01:14:08,409
of the process moving ahead, we want to keep the

1137
01:14:08,469 --> 01:14:11,131
moderate Democrats together. The problem is going to be Tony

1138
01:14:11,191 --> 01:14:13,472
Bok and his guys. No Tony Bok. And, you know,

1139
01:14:13,472 --> 01:14:15,794
I'm sure that's part of what Yanukovych is calculating on

1140
01:14:15,894 --> 01:14:19,817
all of this. Yanukovych was, was that the guy they

1141
01:14:19,857 --> 01:14:21,838
were putting in or was the guy was going out?

1142
01:14:22,278 --> 01:14:23,719
I can't remember where Yanukovych was. I think it was

1143
01:14:23,719 --> 01:14:26,101
the guy going out. I think it was going out.

1144
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:29,963
I think Yates is the guy who's got the economic

1145
01:14:30,064 --> 01:14:33,706
experience, the governing experience. He's the guy, you know, what

1146
01:14:33,786 --> 01:14:36,148
he needs is Cleach and Tony Book on the outside.

1147
01:14:36,168 --> 01:14:38,029
He needs to be talking to them four times a

1148
01:14:38,089 --> 01:14:42,512
week. Yeah, she's now actually not just putting people into

1149
01:14:42,572 --> 01:14:47,495
government, but arranging their agenda. Yeah, doing their calendar for

1150
01:14:48,096 --> 01:14:53,880
them. Doing their calendar. Yeah, this is the democratic country

1151
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:59,264
that we're saving for democracy. Democracy. I just think Cleach

1152
01:14:59,364 --> 01:15:02,165
going in, he's going to be at that level working

1153
01:15:02,246 --> 01:15:04,567
for Yatsenyuk. It's just not going to work. No, not

1154
01:15:04,607 --> 01:15:07,289
going to work. No, I agree. What do you think,

1155
01:15:07,329 --> 01:15:11,572
John? Not going to work. Not going to work. Let

1156
01:15:11,572 --> 01:15:14,094
him just do his political homework on the outside. Good.

1157
01:15:14,154 --> 01:15:15,314
Would you want us to try to set up a

1158
01:15:15,374 --> 01:15:19,557
call with him as the next step? My understanding from

1159
01:15:19,657 --> 01:15:22,119
that call, but you tell me, was that the big

1160
01:15:22,199 --> 01:15:24,941
three were going into their own meeting and that Yachts

1161
01:15:24,981 --> 01:15:29,824
was going to offer in that context a three-plus-one conversation

1162
01:15:29,864 --> 01:15:32,826
or three-plus-two with you. Is that not how you understood

1163
01:15:32,886 --> 01:15:35,508
it? No, I think that's what he proposed. But I

1164
01:15:35,588 --> 01:15:38,030
think just knowing the dynamic that's been with them where

1165
01:15:39,391 --> 01:15:41,132
Klitschko has been the top dog, he's going to take

1166
01:15:41,192 --> 01:15:42,993
a while to show up for whatever meeting they've got,

1167
01:15:43,053 --> 01:15:45,035
and he's probably talking to his guys at this point.

1168
01:15:45,135 --> 01:15:48,077
So I think you reaching out directly to him helps.

1169
01:15:48,197 --> 01:15:52,019
with the personality management among the three. This is literally

1170
01:15:52,079 --> 01:15:55,122
how we used to pitch like, you know, Gillette. All

1171
01:15:55,162 --> 01:15:57,563
right, you talk to your guy and I'll talk to

1172
01:15:57,643 --> 01:15:59,625
my guy and you work him from the back end

1173
01:15:59,705 --> 01:16:01,646
and we'll get the big three or maybe three plus

1174
01:16:01,726 --> 01:16:04,048
two. We'll get him into the meeting. We'll pitch him

1175
01:16:04,108 --> 01:16:06,529
with the PowerPoint and we'll be good to go. And

1176
01:16:06,569 --> 01:16:09,391
it gives you also a chance to move fast on

1177
01:16:09,431 --> 01:16:12,533
all this stuff and put us behind it before they

1178
01:16:12,573 --> 01:16:14,775
all sit down and he... Oh yeah, let's move fast

1179
01:16:14,835 --> 01:16:18,557
before they figure out how we've hoodwinked them. He doesn't

1180
01:16:18,578 --> 01:16:21,019
like it. This is good to review. I can see

1181
01:16:21,059 --> 01:16:24,341
there's trolls who have never heard this recording. Well, this

1182
01:16:24,482 --> 01:16:28,464
is in 2014, so it's a bit, it's like nine

1183
01:16:28,524 --> 01:16:32,267
years ago. It is. Okay, good. I'm happy. Why don't

1184
01:16:32,327 --> 01:16:33,888
you reach out to him and see if he wants

1185
01:16:33,968 --> 01:16:36,149
to talk before or after? All right. How do we

1186
01:16:36,230 --> 01:16:38,391
put a bulb on this, Vicki? How do we wrap

1187
01:16:38,451 --> 01:16:41,393
this all up? Okay, we'll do. Thanks. Okay, I've now

1188
01:16:41,453 --> 01:16:44,415
written one more wrinkle for you, Jeff. Oh, wrinkle, wrinkle.

1189
01:16:44,735 --> 01:16:48,258
Stand by, Jeff. I got a wrinkle. Yeah. I can't

1190
01:16:48,258 --> 01:16:49,899
remember if I told you this or if I only

1191
01:16:49,959 --> 01:16:52,841
told Washington this. Yeah, because you're not in the loop

1192
01:16:52,901 --> 01:16:55,062
on everything, Jeff, just so you know. When I talked

1193
01:16:55,082 --> 01:16:58,205
to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name

1194
01:16:58,365 --> 01:17:00,806
for the UN guy, Robert Seri. Did I write you

1195
01:17:00,866 --> 01:17:04,829
that this morning? Yeah, I saw that. He's now gotten

1196
01:17:04,889 --> 01:17:08,131
both Seri and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Seri could

1197
01:17:08,151 --> 01:17:10,533
come in Monday or Tuesday. Oh, that's right. They had

1198
01:17:10,633 --> 01:17:13,535
Ban Ki-moon in on the deal. The Secretary General of

1199
01:17:13,555 --> 01:17:16,017
the UN to, you know, we'll bless the deal. Ban

1200
01:17:16,077 --> 01:17:18,698
Ki-moon will come in. That guy's half dead anyway. He

1201
01:17:18,739 --> 01:17:21,180
just, they didn't even speak English. Just let him mumble.

1202
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,883
Okay. So that would be great, I think, to help

1203
01:17:25,043 --> 01:17:27,304
glue this thing and have the UN help glue it.

1204
01:17:27,364 --> 01:17:30,146
Yeah, have the UN help glue it because that's what's

1205
01:17:30,186 --> 01:17:33,368
good. Glue. Glue it. And, you know, fuck the EU.

1206
01:17:33,569 --> 01:17:36,030
Yeah. There it is. And I think we've got to

1207
01:17:36,130 --> 01:17:39,172
do something to make it stick together. Exactly. Let's just

1208
01:17:39,212 --> 01:17:42,014
go back for a second. So she's saying we'll have

1209
01:17:42,615 --> 01:17:47,979
the UN glue it because clearly the European Union is

1210
01:17:48,038 --> 01:17:50,720
like, what are you guys doing in our backyard? This

1211
01:17:50,820 --> 01:17:53,002
is not so cool. So we're going to have this.

1212
01:17:53,282 --> 01:17:56,384
thing glued for the whole world and fuck you fuck

1213
01:17:56,464 --> 01:17:59,807
you eu if i only told washington this that when

1214
01:17:59,867 --> 01:18:03,209
i talked to jeff feltman wait wait when she said

1215
01:18:03,329 --> 01:18:08,052
fuck the eu i think she was specifically saying we're

1216
01:18:08,072 --> 01:18:09,733
going to have the UN do it and fuck the

1217
01:18:09,913 --> 01:18:14,557
EU meaning we're skipping them and anything that they have

1218
01:18:14,597 --> 01:18:17,979
to say about it. Yeah, because the UN greater than

1219
01:18:18,139 --> 01:18:24,363
sign EU. Your No Agenda show has receipts, people. You

1220
01:18:24,403 --> 01:18:27,485
know, this is so scandalous and it was played up

1221
01:18:28,146 --> 01:18:32,249
zero by the media. Zero? Well, she used an expletive

1222
01:18:32,389 --> 01:18:34,310
on a call, you know, so we can't play the

1223
01:18:34,490 --> 01:18:37,853
expletive because she said a bad word. It's not about

1224
01:18:37,933 --> 01:18:41,555
that, people. Listen to what they're doing. What they did,

1225
01:18:41,595 --> 01:18:47,559
they did it. I did catch a, um... I can't

1226
01:18:47,559 --> 01:18:49,881
say it's native. I think it is native advertising for

1227
01:18:49,941 --> 01:18:52,362
credit cards. But it also has all these sub, there's

1228
01:18:52,382 --> 01:18:55,545
a lot of subtext involved. Again, NBC. And this is

1229
01:18:55,645 --> 01:18:58,647
about just kind of a rundown of the benefits of

1230
01:18:58,747 --> 01:19:01,789
credit card usage. I thought it was, this will be

1231
01:19:01,849 --> 01:19:04,251
my Dvorak tip of the day because there's a lot

1232
01:19:04,291 --> 01:19:06,592
of good information in here. But as I, I've had

1233
01:19:06,632 --> 01:19:08,413
mixed feelings about it running because I believed it was

1234
01:19:08,433 --> 01:19:11,015
a native ad to begin with. And then I don't

1235
01:19:11,015 --> 01:19:13,697
know what the purpose was. And it was also kind

1236
01:19:13,757 --> 01:19:16,879
of promoting the cashless society, which I don't like. I

1237
01:19:17,019 --> 01:19:19,541
thought there was a lot of good information in this

1238
01:19:20,141 --> 01:19:24,424
particular native ad on NBC, which I didn't realize they

1239
01:19:24,504 --> 01:19:27,206
did. All right, everybody, stand by. Right after this clip,

1240
01:19:27,246 --> 01:19:30,929
it will be time for Dvorak's Tip of the Day.

1241
01:19:32,610 --> 01:19:35,272
This is the tip of the day. Here's the tip

1242
01:19:35,352 --> 01:19:38,294
of the day. What you might call the hidden power

1243
01:19:38,394 --> 01:19:41,116
of plastic. Perks and benefits a lot of credit card

1244
01:19:41,156 --> 01:19:44,278
holders don't even know they have. Ways to get refunds,

1245
01:19:44,298 --> 01:19:47,760
get services without any charges, saving you money in the

1246
01:19:47,780 --> 01:19:53,504
process. NBC's JoLynn Kent explains. As you use your credit

1247
01:19:53,524 --> 01:19:56,106
card this holiday season, you should know it may have

1248
01:19:56,166 --> 01:19:58,608
hidden benefits that can save you big money in a

1249
01:19:58,668 --> 01:19:59,028
pinch.

1250
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,321
Scared. I didn't know what to do. When Lauren Bergman's

1251
01:20:02,341 --> 01:20:04,422
car broke down, she called the number on the back

1252
01:20:04,483 --> 01:20:07,284
of her American Express card as a last resort. The

1253
01:20:07,345 --> 01:20:10,306
company sent a tow truck free of charge. I never

1254
01:20:10,346 --> 01:20:12,288
in a million years would have imagined that my credit

1255
01:20:12,328 --> 01:20:14,369
card could do all the things that it could do

1256
01:20:14,910 --> 01:20:17,411
and that they would be my saving grace. And when

1257
01:20:17,471 --> 01:20:20,794
Bergman dropped and shattered her iPhone after her Apple warranty

1258
01:20:20,854 --> 01:20:24,856
was up, her card gave her a 100% refund. Many

1259
01:20:24,916 --> 01:20:30,540
popular credit cards offer these kinds of little-known benefits. 41%

1260
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:35,784
offer extended warranties. 57% provide purchase protection, like reimbursing you

1261
01:20:35,844 --> 01:20:39,707
for items that are lost, stolen, or damaged. 47% give

1262
01:20:39,827 --> 01:20:43,169
price protection, refunding the difference if the price drops on

1263
01:20:43,229 --> 01:20:47,732
an item within four months after purchase. And 26% guarantee

1264
01:20:47,832 --> 01:20:51,234
returns, even when stores don't. You could be missing out

1265
01:20:51,314 --> 01:20:54,096
on hundreds of dollars a year in extra benefits from

1266
01:20:54,136 --> 01:20:58,479
your credit card company. Everything from roadside assistance to paying

1267
01:20:58,519 --> 01:21:03,042
for your hotel flight due to weather-related travel concerns. But

1268
01:21:03,082 --> 01:21:07,025
they don't cover everything. They usually exclude cars, jewelry, medical

1269
01:21:07,085 --> 01:21:09,587
equipment, and computer software. At the end of the day,

1270
01:21:09,627 --> 01:21:11,268
you never know when it could really help you out.

1271
01:21:11,808 --> 01:21:14,650
Experts say call or check online to discover the perks

1272
01:21:14,730 --> 01:21:17,913
that may be hiding in plain sight. Jolene Kent, NBC

1273
01:21:18,073 --> 01:21:22,095
News, New York. Up next tonight... So, that's the tip.

1274
01:21:23,276 --> 01:21:25,298
I think it was a tip, and I remember that

1275
01:21:25,698 --> 01:21:27,899
I think American Express, depending on the card you have,

1276
01:21:28,460 --> 01:21:31,522
would actually cover your extra insurance that you could pay

1277
01:21:31,602 --> 01:21:35,264
for a rental, car rental. By the way, this also

1278
01:21:35,364 --> 01:21:40,668
incorporated fake news, NBC's version of fake news, because that

1279
01:21:40,768 --> 01:21:44,331
woman who was super scared and she realized she gets

1280
01:21:44,371 --> 01:21:46,632
a free tow. She could call a tow truck herself,

1281
01:21:46,732 --> 01:21:49,234
but she gets a free tow from American Express. They

1282
01:21:49,434 --> 01:21:51,816
showed her on the phone in her car. They showed

1283
01:21:51,876 --> 01:21:54,578
the tow truck coming in. And then they showed her

1284
01:21:54,618 --> 01:21:57,580
happy as a clam as the tow truck took her

1285
01:21:57,620 --> 01:21:59,681
car off. Yeah, I would say that's native ad for

1286
01:21:59,741 --> 01:22:02,263
sure. It was a native ad and that was fake

1287
01:22:02,323 --> 01:22:04,384
news. There was no way that this woman had a

1288
01:22:04,484 --> 01:22:06,706
camera crew with her when her car broke down and

1289
01:22:06,726 --> 01:22:09,448
she was so super scared. So what was that? That

1290
01:22:09,488 --> 01:22:13,210
was a reenactment. It did not say reenactment at the

1291
01:22:13,270 --> 01:22:15,252
bottom of the screen. They should just use one of

1292
01:22:15,312 --> 01:22:19,935
our jingles. Which one? And you choose which one you

1293
01:22:19,995 --> 01:22:24,718
want. We got tons of them. Fake news? We got

1294
01:22:24,758 --> 01:22:29,902
tons of fake news. We got anything you want. FAKE

1295
01:22:29,902 --> 01:22:37,327
ME Alright everybody! It's got big news on it. Anyway,

1296
01:22:37,527 --> 01:22:38,928
I just thought I'd throw that out there as a

1297
01:22:39,048 --> 01:22:45,332
tip. More importantly. You bought a pig? Oh, yeah, we

1298
01:22:45,432 --> 01:22:48,574
had a, well, I've gotten, yeah, we bought a pig

1299
01:22:48,634 --> 01:22:52,897
to eat. Yeah, I'd like to hear the story about

1300
01:22:52,917 --> 01:22:54,779
the pig you bought to eat. Did you and Michael

1301
01:22:54,839 --> 01:22:56,800
Butler bought a pig? We split a pig, yeah. You

1302
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,062
split a pig. So how does this process go? Where

1303
01:22:59,082 --> 01:23:00,643
do you, do you go to the pig market, the

1304
01:23:00,683 --> 01:23:02,704
pig store? No, no, we bought this from Future Farmers

1305
01:23:02,744 --> 01:23:05,546
of America auction at the Alameda County Fair. Do they

1306
01:23:05,546 --> 01:23:07,847
have a website? Do you do this online or you

1307
01:23:07,928 --> 01:23:09,208
go there? No, no, you have to go to the

1308
01:23:09,369 --> 01:23:11,270
auction. And you see the pig and you go like,

1309
01:23:11,650 --> 01:23:15,132
you look tasty? Is that how it works? approach was

1310
01:23:15,373 --> 01:23:18,335
low bid low ball every every pig that came up

1311
01:23:18,435 --> 01:23:20,696
until one got through he didn't really want to buy

1312
01:23:20,756 --> 01:23:22,538
the pig is what you're saying no no he wanted

1313
01:23:22,538 --> 01:23:24,259
to buy the pig but he was real strict on

1314
01:23:24,319 --> 01:23:26,660
what he's going to pay okay and even though it's

1315
01:23:26,660 --> 01:23:29,002
like a tax write-off and there's a bunch of what

1316
01:23:29,142 --> 01:23:31,283
wait a minute buying a pig is a tax write-off

1317
01:23:31,323 --> 01:23:33,265
well if you buy a pig at an auction for

1318
01:23:33,525 --> 01:23:36,527
future farmers of america or 4-h at a county fair

1319
01:23:36,967 --> 01:23:40,330
and you pay one cent over the market price of

1320
01:23:40,850 --> 01:23:43,712
hogs and then at that point which you will because

1321
01:23:43,732 --> 01:23:47,234
these pigs are not you get to write off that

1322
01:23:47,274 --> 01:23:49,936
money as a charitable contribution. Because the money goes to

1323
01:23:49,996 --> 01:23:53,279
the kids who get to, you know, it helps them

1324
01:23:53,338 --> 01:23:56,661
to college, to go to school. What kids? The kids

1325
01:23:56,701 --> 01:23:59,303
who raise the pigs. You took a pig from a

1326
01:23:59,343 --> 01:24:02,765
kid? Yeah, and apparently the kid was in tears. Oh,

1327
01:24:03,125 --> 01:24:06,568
no. And Martina was there, Butler's daughter, and she says

1328
01:24:06,608 --> 01:24:08,069
that she doesn't know if she can eat the pig

1329
01:24:08,169 --> 01:24:11,091
named Rosie. Butler, on the other hand, got a picture

1330
01:24:11,131 --> 01:24:13,772
with the pig. And so we got this. By the

1331
01:24:13,792 --> 01:24:18,075
way, the pig is delicious. So, so, so Butler got

1332
01:24:18,376 --> 01:24:22,078
it and the kid, apparently they all do this and

1333
01:24:22,098 --> 01:24:24,119
you have to kind of, I guess, tolerate it. The

1334
01:24:24,260 --> 01:24:27,542
kid, a little 11 year old girl, you know, she's

1335
01:24:27,662 --> 01:24:31,625
in tears. It was her pet pig and you told,

1336
01:24:31,785 --> 01:24:38,589
you took the pig and ate it. Yes. You're such

1337
01:24:38,649 --> 01:24:41,952
a horrible man. You should go back and you should

1338
01:24:41,972 --> 01:24:43,753
go back to the kid and say, here, you want

1339
01:24:43,773 --> 01:24:46,675
some bacon from here? He apologized to her, but the

1340
01:24:47,415 --> 01:24:49,537
pig was raised to be eaten, not to be hanging

1341
01:24:49,577 --> 01:24:55,781
around the house. You're a mean old man. I wasn't

1342
01:24:55,881 --> 01:24:57,782
there. You're a horrible man. It was Butler who was

1343
01:24:57,842 --> 01:25:01,305
the mean old man. Hey, kid, your pig looks delicious.

1344
01:25:01,365 --> 01:25:03,486
Butler wants a picture with the pig. He wants to

1345
01:25:03,526 --> 01:25:06,408
know the name of the pig. So anyway, so we

1346
01:25:06,508 --> 01:25:09,911
went to the butcher, a great butcher out in Manteca.

1347
01:25:10,671 --> 01:25:12,613
Wait, can I ask you? I need to understand the

1348
01:25:12,633 --> 01:25:17,816
process. point alive. Yes. So the pig is like, squee,

1349
01:25:17,876 --> 01:25:21,038
squee, squee, squee, and you take the. So there's a

1350
01:25:21,058 --> 01:25:25,141
kid crying over here. Yeah. There's Butler doing Facebook pictures

1351
01:25:25,161 --> 01:25:27,783
with the pig. Yeah. And you're taking the pig to

1352
01:25:27,883 --> 01:25:34,547
a great butcher. Oh, the butcher's fantastic. Okay. Yeah. Anyway,

1353
01:25:34,588 --> 01:25:38,470
it's a good Portuguese butcher, and they actually make linguiça

1354
01:25:38,971 --> 01:25:40,291
just at the shop. You're going to have to go

1355
01:25:40,311 --> 01:25:43,113
there to get it. So anyway, yeah, so he bought

1356
01:25:43,153 --> 01:25:46,055
a pig, and there was all sorts of processes. I'm

1357
01:25:46,115 --> 01:25:47,977
going to write a little paper on this and sell

1358
01:25:48,037 --> 01:25:51,399
it. Is he doing a meet-up in Yellowstone? That's what

1359
01:25:51,419 --> 01:25:53,821
he wants to know. My wife has always been wanting

1360
01:25:53,861 --> 01:25:55,782
to go and would love to meet him. She has

1361
01:25:55,822 --> 01:25:59,905
a crush on him from the MTV days. I hope

1362
01:25:59,965 --> 01:26:03,347
I don't disappoint in IRL. Well, actually, you look pretty

1363
01:26:03,367 --> 01:26:05,389
much like you did. No, I don't. The hair is

1364
01:26:05,529 --> 01:26:09,151
much shorter. Well, you don't have that ludicrous wig. It

1365
01:26:09,211 --> 01:26:13,774
was not a wig, a-hole. It wasn't a wig. Look

1366
01:26:13,814 --> 01:26:17,557
at your own hair. Just because it's thinning out... Be

1367
01:26:17,637 --> 01:26:20,259
careful, man. Take a look at that hair. It was

1368
01:26:20,859 --> 01:26:23,361
not a wig. This is ridiculous. Now you sound like

1369
01:26:23,421 --> 01:26:25,943
every dickhead who says something about Donald Trump's hair. This

1370
01:26:26,003 --> 01:26:28,624
is how stupid it is. Well, I've never said that.

1371
01:26:28,644 --> 01:26:30,826
With that wig. Well, it looked like a wig to

1372
01:26:30,826 --> 01:26:33,248
me. How about those glasses when you couldn't pull apart

1373
01:26:33,268 --> 01:26:36,790
the stupid PC in the video, Dvorak? You're looking like

1374
01:26:36,890 --> 01:26:40,593
Buggles. Those were the glasses that were avant-garde during that

1375
01:26:40,713 --> 01:26:46,056
era. Avant-garde? How about avant-douche? Here's another big story. This

1376
01:26:46,136 --> 01:26:50,739
is the one on conspiracies. Even apocalyptic. We all crave

1377
01:26:50,860 --> 01:26:53,842
explanations for things we don't understand, so some of us

1378
01:26:53,982 --> 01:26:58,084
fill in the blanks with conspiracy theories. We dug into

1379
01:26:58,164 --> 01:27:02,107
that with Anna Merlin, author of Republic of Lies, American

1380
01:27:02,207 --> 01:27:06,230
Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power. Hey, how

1381
01:27:06,270 --> 01:27:08,051
come we weren't interviewed? What the hell is that? There's

1382
01:27:08,071 --> 01:27:10,833
a whole book. American Conspiracy Theorists. Did you get a

1383
01:27:10,873 --> 01:27:15,496
call? Did you get an email? Memo? Nothing? conspiracy theories

1384
01:27:15,596 --> 01:27:20,220
went from fringe sites, some of them actual disinformation sites,

1385
01:27:20,500 --> 01:27:23,922
to eventually places like Fox News and that's sort of

1386
01:27:24,142 --> 01:27:26,844
where they stopped. And now they have another stop which

1387
01:27:26,864 --> 01:27:30,026
is they go from Fox News to the president or

1388
01:27:30,146 --> 01:27:33,589
from fringe sites like InfoWars straight to the president. Again,

1389
01:27:33,609 --> 01:27:38,492
again, again we're being snubbed. Hello, hello, crackpot here. I'd

1390
01:27:38,532 --> 01:27:42,135
like my props. And this problem continues to get worse

1391
01:27:42,435 --> 01:27:50,240
and worse. psychological extension of all of this Oh, this

1392
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,923
is so good, John. What do you think is really

1393
01:27:55,464 --> 01:27:59,226
happening in the world when it comes from Infowars straight

1394
01:27:59,246 --> 01:28:03,929
to the president? Out of control tinfoil hattery. So one

1395
01:28:04,130 --> 01:28:09,633
thesis is that especially state-backed disinformation sources like the ones

1396
01:28:09,693 --> 01:28:13,436
we've seen in Russia, like the Internet Research Agency, that

1397
01:28:13,576 --> 01:28:17,178
one of their goals is to make the information ecosystem

1398
01:28:17,359 --> 01:28:20,761
so chaotic and so unstable and so unrecognizable reliable that

1399
01:28:20,821 --> 01:28:24,944
people start believing that the actual objective truth is not

1400
01:28:25,024 --> 01:28:28,186
knowable and that they should stop looking for it. Oh,

1401
01:28:28,286 --> 01:28:33,169
success. Wow. Do you believe this? So conspiracies, by the

1402
01:28:33,229 --> 01:28:35,271
way, only right wing. There's never been a left wing

1403
01:28:35,351 --> 01:28:39,554
conspiracy. They're all right wing. Wait, stop. Clip of the

1404
01:28:39,554 --> 01:28:42,436
day for that one. Just definitely clip of the day.

1405
01:28:42,436 --> 01:28:47,099
Clip of the day. And Chiep talks through this whole

1406
01:28:47,179 --> 01:28:51,362
thing. And it all culminated in Fox News. That's right.

1407
01:28:51,502 --> 01:28:54,724
And the other route is from Infowars direct to the

1408
01:28:54,764 --> 01:28:59,527
president. Alex Jones, hotline to Trump. Hey, listen up. Wait

1409
01:28:59,527 --> 01:29:01,829
until you hear my update on Seth Rich. Maybe we

1410
01:29:01,909 --> 01:29:06,412
can get in next year's retrospective. Alright, then let me

1411
01:29:06,472 --> 01:29:19,761
give you a new jingle. War on Chicken. Did some

1412
01:29:19,801 --> 01:29:22,603
guy crank that out right during the show? Hell yeah.

1413
01:29:22,923 --> 01:29:26,406
Hell yeah. That's our audience, man. That's Yellow Jacket. That's

1414
01:29:26,406 --> 01:29:29,848
Yellow Jacket, man. I'm telling you. How awesome is that?

1415
01:29:32,590 --> 01:29:34,471
Well, we've had the war on terror. We've had the

1416
01:29:34,491 --> 01:29:36,592
war on women. I think the war on chicken is

1417
01:29:36,653 --> 01:29:42,016
just about par for the course. Perfect. This is another

01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:00,161
deal, except some of them may be $30, but generally

1435
01:32:00,201 --> 01:32:02,543
speaking, get them for like under $20, is a good

1436
01:32:02,783 --> 01:32:06,526
Beaujolais. And what you want is a, if you can,

1437
01:32:06,766 --> 01:32:08,907

1440
01:32:19,555 --> 01:32:22,677

1441
01:32:22,737 --> 01:32:25,839
into Google and you'll get a wiki page. list them

1442
01:32:25,859 --> 01:32:28,521
off. Those are better. You want Beaujolais Village. It's kind

1443
01:32:28,521 --> 01:32:31,543
of the lowest quality you can get. But the point

1444
01:32:31,623 --> 01:32:37,647
is, 2015, many of the Beaujolais experts believe that 2015

1445
01:32:37,787 --> 01:32:42,470
Beaujolais are the best since the 1940s. And I have

1446
01:32:42,550 --> 01:32:49,135
had expensive ones. I've had cheap ones. Every 2015 Beaujolais

1447
01:32:49,135 --> 01:32:52,257
I've had, from cheap to very expensive, very expensive ones

01:33:09,489 --> 01:33:14,472
day number 666 of our 14 days to flatten the

1454
01:33:14,512 --> 01:33:16,854
curve. Damn it, I screwed it up. You had it.

1455
01:33:16,994 --> 01:33:20,156
But it is day 666. That figures. So this has

1456
01:33:20,196 --> 01:33:22,337
got to be one of those big ones. And on

1457
01:33:22,397 --> 01:33:25,980
this very important day. It's a devilish scam. We receive

1458
01:33:26,660 --> 01:33:29,682
the following headline, which just made my day. There is

1459
01:33:29,762 --> 01:33:34,806
no evidence of pandemic mass formation psychosis, according to Reuters

1460
01:33:34,926 --> 01:33:40,950
and the Associated Press. They would know. you What the

1461
01:33:40,950 --> 01:33:43,312
hell? What is going on? Why would they? That's actually,

1462
01:33:43,412 --> 01:33:46,414
by the way, for them to say that is a

1463
01:33:46,514 --> 01:33:50,116
sign that it exists. It has to be. It has

1464
01:33:50,236 --> 01:33:54,259
to be. The full quote, mass formation psychosis is not

1465
01:33:54,319 --> 01:33:57,021
an academic... Who wrote this? There is no such thing

1466
01:33:57,101 --> 01:34:00,583
as the Associated Press saying anything. Okay. Someone at the

1467
01:34:00,623 --> 01:34:04,626
Associated Press said it on behalf of the Associated Press?

1468
01:34:04,826 --> 01:34:07,728
Yes. Was it approved by the board of directors? What's

1469
01:34:07,808 --> 01:34:11,531
the deal? Well, I believe so, seeing as, well, it's

1470
01:34:11,691 --> 01:34:14,513
Reuters and the Associated Press, and we know that there's

1471
01:34:14,553 --> 01:34:19,296
some Pfizer folks over at Reuters. They've both independently reported

1472
01:34:19,396 --> 01:34:23,519
that. But this was a, as you point out, they

1473
01:34:23,879 --> 01:34:26,561
pulled it together. The full headline is, Mass formation psychosis

1474
01:34:26,621 --> 01:34:30,024
is not an academic term recognized in the field of

1475
01:34:30,044 --> 01:34:34,226
psychology, nor is there evidence of any such phenomenon occurring

1476
01:34:34,286 --> 01:34:39,430
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple experts in crowd psychology have

1477
01:34:39,510 --> 01:34:42,832
told Reuters and the Associated Press. So that's how they

1478
01:34:42,872 --> 01:34:46,715
do it. And then the AP fact check. Mass formation

1479
01:34:46,775 --> 01:34:50,918
psychosis, an unfounded theory spreading online, suggests millions of people

1480
01:34:50,958 --> 01:34:55,041
have been hypnotized into believing mainstream ideas to combat COVID-19.

1481
01:34:55,661 --> 01:34:59,784
Psychology experts say the concept is not supported by evidence.

1482
01:35:00,624 --> 01:35:03,907
See, that's a little different. So they're not discrediting the

1483
01:35:04,107 --> 01:35:07,069
theory. They're saying there's no, this is, by the way,

1484
01:35:07,129 --> 01:35:09,110
this is one of your favorite ways of doing it.

1485
01:35:09,530 --> 01:35:12,793
There's no evidence of. There's no evidence that we would

1486
01:35:12,853 --> 01:35:15,855
like the mouse. Hey, I wasn't going to say that.

1487
01:35:16,195 --> 01:35:19,457
That's what it refers to. Yeah, but there's no evidence.

1488
01:35:20,018 --> 01:35:22,659
And there was no evidence, by the way. Of the

1489
01:35:22,699 --> 01:35:25,681
mouse? Yeah, it just came out. How's there going to

1490
01:35:25,742 --> 01:35:32,046
be any evidence? It's a trick. I see this on

1491
01:35:32,126 --> 01:35:34,127
the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it

1492
01:35:34,167 --> 01:35:37,209
will result in fights breaking out. Because it's just so

1493
01:35:37,349 --> 01:35:40,832
annoying to watch. Guy takes his bag of peanuts and

1494
01:35:40,892 --> 01:35:43,974
he throws a pile of them into his palm of

1495
01:35:44,014 --> 01:35:48,757
his hand and then he makes a fist. around the

1496
01:35:48,817 --> 01:35:51,619
nuts and then he shakes his fist to try to

1497
01:35:51,679 --> 01:35:56,102
bring a nut to the little hole STOP Stop! And

1498
01:35:56,142 --> 01:35:59,004
then he throws a nut in his mouth from his

1499
01:35:59,184 --> 01:36:01,226
fist. Then he does it again. He shakes and throws

1500
01:36:01,286 --> 01:36:04,968
and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to

1501
01:36:05,068 --> 01:36:08,551
watch. Oh, my gosh. It just needed porn music. Your

1502
01:36:08,591 --> 01:36:11,733
description is fabulous. I've got to produce that. There is

1503
01:36:12,333 --> 01:36:14,515
that part of it. You can look at all these

1504
01:36:14,555 --> 01:36:18,297
things as obscene, but that's exactly what you see. This

1505
01:36:18,357 --> 01:36:21,800
guy shaking his fist and popping a peanut. It's nasty.

1506
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:26,103
It's nasty. It's very nasty. I agree. It's nasty. are

1507
01:36:26,123 --> 01:36:28,304
flying we look at each other i'm like i'm gonna

1508
01:36:28,364 --> 01:36:32,787
do it i'm gonna fist him I'm fisting. You fisted.

1509
01:36:32,847 --> 01:36:36,210
I'm fisting. You know, the Shantytown thing did come up

1510
01:36:36,270 --> 01:36:41,853
in the conversation. I'm of the opinion that... You're just

1511
01:36:41,873 --> 01:36:43,815
going to have to bite the bullet in these towns,

1512
01:36:43,835 --> 01:36:47,497
these liberal towns, and let a shanty town crop up.

1513
01:36:50,119 --> 01:36:53,862
It goes on in South America. I don't like your

1514
01:36:54,362 --> 01:36:58,084
idea. I know you don't. Nobody does. But it's the

1515
01:36:58,125 --> 01:37:00,766
most realistic thing you can do. Let's be honest about

1516
01:37:00,766 --> 01:37:03,468
it. But you have shanty towns in multiple cities in

1517
01:37:03,548 --> 01:37:07,951
California, and it hasn't produced any... Where? There's no real

1518
01:37:08,011 --> 01:37:12,054
true shanty town. Every street corner! No, that's not a

1519
01:37:12,254 --> 01:37:16,177
shanty town. Well, okay. I mean, how many... That is

1520
01:37:16,237 --> 01:37:18,558
just a bunch of people hanging around and, you know,

1521
01:37:18,639 --> 01:37:21,621
hanging out with tents. Yeah. No, no. Okay. I'm not

1522
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:24,803
talking about camping, which is what they call it now.

1523
01:37:25,903 --> 01:37:29,966
camping yeah not homeless you're just camping oh yeah just

1524
01:37:29,966 --> 01:37:33,268
people camping yeah no I'm talking about you get a

1525
01:37:33,309 --> 01:37:35,550
couple of acres you put some acres together in an

1526
01:37:35,650 --> 01:37:39,293
area that's really some places you can get water to

1527
01:37:39,973 --> 01:37:44,036
usually a water truck that would work bring it in

1528
01:37:44,156 --> 01:37:45,917
once in a while and you never have their own

1529
01:37:45,997 --> 01:37:50,200
buckets and let that let you build little lean twos

1530
01:37:50,961 --> 01:37:57,505
hmm Well. To have its own government. It's like in

1531
01:37:57,565 --> 01:38:00,467
Brazil in the favelas. They have their own governments. Yeah,

1532
01:38:00,627 --> 01:38:03,649
but that's my point is the favelas are a huge

1533
01:38:03,789 --> 01:38:07,072
issue. Yeah. Well, so would shantytowns. But this is, I

1534
01:38:07,112 --> 01:38:10,014
don't see any other solution. Yeah, but. They can't seem

1535
01:38:10,074 --> 01:38:12,555
to address the problem correctly. So you might as well

1536
01:38:12,575 --> 01:38:15,437
just let it fall into third world style. Well. It

1537
01:38:15,497 --> 01:38:18,920
works outside of Africa. All of these little towns in

1538
01:38:19,020 --> 01:38:23,062
Africa, there's little shantytowns outside the cities. Mazadeo, South America.

1539
01:38:23,503 --> 01:38:28,666
There used to be, Romani encampments all over Europe and,

1540
01:38:28,846 --> 01:38:33,550
you know, similar to a shantytown, they move. I mean,

1541
01:38:33,590 --> 01:38:35,291
you can't do anything about it because they're not doing

1542
01:38:35,331 --> 01:38:39,153
anything about it. Well, it go to a fallback position.

1543
01:38:40,214 --> 01:38:43,516
So what you're saying is designate an area where the

1544
01:38:43,576 --> 01:38:50,081
shanty town can prosper. You make it sound like it's

1545
01:38:50,081 --> 01:38:55,665
a joke. No, no. That's exactly what you're saying. A

1546
01:38:55,745 --> 01:38:59,227
designated place. This is not your idea alone. People are

1547
01:38:59,247 --> 01:39:02,289
saying, hey, make a designated camping ground. Yeah, well, it

1548
01:39:02,369 --> 01:39:04,551
should be a shantytown. A camping ground is no good.

1549
01:39:05,391 --> 01:39:07,172
Those tents are no good. You want, you know, you

1550
01:39:07,252 --> 01:39:09,534
want a shantytown. You want the kind of thing that

1551
01:39:09,574 --> 01:39:12,116
people can go and do reports about. Oh, look at

1552
01:39:12,136 --> 01:39:15,358
these people. They're living like horrible. And then they show

1553
01:39:15,438 --> 01:39:17,880
that. And there's a open sewer. You want an open.

1554
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,762
OK, you could have to design these things. Scott Adams

1555
01:39:20,802 --> 01:39:23,323
has got something like this, but he's more, you know,

1556
01:39:23,363 --> 01:39:25,645
it's not going to be like my thinking. You want

1557
01:39:25,705 --> 01:39:29,428
an open sewer so you can be aghast at the

1558
01:39:29,528 --> 01:39:31,829
open sewer and the turd going down the sewer. You

1559
01:39:31,829 --> 01:39:34,911
know, it's just open. You want kids that are half

1560
01:39:35,031 --> 01:39:38,294
naked. wandering around you all dirty you know sucking their

1561
01:39:38,294 --> 01:39:48,421
thumbs barefoot barefoot barefoot playing with a rusty can Lots

1562
01:39:48,521 --> 01:39:54,885
of dogs barking at everything. We had a quasi shantytown

1563
01:39:55,005 --> 01:39:59,188
here in the East Bay over on the bulb.

1564
01:40:01,340 --> 01:40:04,963
An old ex-garbage dump that's over by Golden Gate Fields

1565
01:40:05,103 --> 01:40:09,166
in Albany. There was this big area that was in

1566
01:40:09,226 --> 01:40:12,488
the very far reaches of this. It's like a peninsula

1567
01:40:12,508 --> 01:40:15,190
that is built of garbage dumps from the 20s and

1568
01:40:15,230 --> 01:40:17,832
30s. So it's green now, and they've got trees, and

1569
01:40:17,852 --> 01:40:20,473
everything's growing on it. But there was a huge shantytown

1570
01:40:20,594 --> 01:40:23,315
out there. It was a genuine one. You couldn't even

1571
01:40:23,375 --> 01:40:25,917
go out to it because there's too many pit bulls

1572
01:40:26,758 --> 01:40:29,319
guarding the place. But it was a shantytown, and they

1573
01:40:29,399 --> 01:40:31,281
let it go for years and years. And they finally

1574
01:40:31,321 --> 01:40:32,922
went in there in the middle of the night and

1575
01:40:32,982 --> 01:40:34,743
tore it down. Well, go back to what else we

1576
01:40:34,823 --> 01:40:36,905
need in the shanty town. I was kind of enjoying

1577
01:40:36,985 --> 01:40:39,386
it. We were at Barefoot Children playing with the rust.

1578
01:40:39,386 --> 01:40:44,450
Barefoot Children, open sewers, a lot of lean-to's. Lean-to's, yes,

1579
01:40:44,550 --> 01:40:47,212
yes, very good. Leftover, you know, that's the kind of

1580
01:40:47,232 --> 01:40:51,094
stuff that you make for kind of a galvanized corrugated

1581
01:40:51,194 --> 01:40:55,457
steel. Yes, very good. Chunks of that and corrugated fiberglass

1582
01:40:55,497 --> 01:40:57,779
that's just got this little curvy thing and then it's

1583
01:40:58,399 --> 01:41:02,702
pounded in. Boat trailer with half a boat on it?

1584
01:41:03,243 --> 01:41:05,244
Oh, there's definitely a bunch of boat trailers with half

1585
01:41:05,344 --> 01:41:09,047
a boat. People living in the boats. Open fires, burn

1586
01:41:09,127 --> 01:41:14,150
barrels everywhere. Especially in the winter. I'm the dentist that

1587
01:41:14,190 --> 01:41:16,572
took the heat for suggesting oral cancer is on the

1588
01:41:16,672 --> 01:41:20,734
rise. Horrible and from HPV virus and oral sex. This

1589
01:41:20,755 --> 01:41:23,937
is a letter we didn't read. I don't remember this.

1590
01:41:24,777 --> 01:41:27,499
I'm done stewing. I would like to congratulate both of

1591
01:41:27,519 --> 01:41:29,581
you for the thousand shows. Okay, it would be good

1592
01:41:29,621 --> 01:41:32,122
to even after I read this. I've learned a lot

1593
01:41:32,142 --> 01:41:34,884
and laughed a lot. Thanks. I read John's one-page editorials

1594
01:41:34,924 --> 01:41:36,926
in PC Magazine going back to my days in college.

1595
01:41:37,366 --> 01:41:39,387
I saw the TV show and the Tech Grouch, all

1596
01:41:39,467 --> 01:41:42,870
great stuff. Oh, Tech Grouch. You and two other people

1597
01:41:42,910 --> 01:41:45,311
watched it. grouch when i heard he was on a

1598
01:41:45,351 --> 01:41:47,313
podcast and jerry pernell was there too i had to

1599
01:41:47,353 --> 01:41:50,115
listen to leo guy made when he's kind of complaining

1600
01:41:50,155 --> 01:41:52,957
here about leo uh when then i found out about

1601
01:41:52,997 --> 01:41:56,459
noah jenna when mtv started i was studying physics i

1602
01:41:56,499 --> 01:41:58,480
would put it on the back as background music and

1603
01:41:58,500 --> 01:42:02,463
thought who would ever want to watch music videos then

1604
01:42:02,643 --> 01:42:05,825
one day i saw the video by robert palmer simply

1605
01:42:06,005 --> 01:42:12,290
irresistible simply irresistible. So there was this guy as a

1606
01:42:12,370 --> 01:42:16,512
sidekick with J.D., Adam Curry. Never heard of him, but

1607
01:42:16,613 --> 01:42:19,935
listening to him was interesting. I miss his treaties on

1608
01:42:20,215 --> 01:42:24,678
aliens on Earth and moon bases. Those shape-shifting Jews are

1609
01:42:24,738 --> 01:42:28,741
space-goers, too. Being Jewish myself, I can attest to it.

1610
01:42:29,341 --> 01:42:34,505
There it is. The Re-Sign and Shape-Shifter. Welcome! As the

1611
01:42:34,685 --> 01:42:39,128
episodes went by, Atlas set the hook and John had

1612
01:42:39,288 --> 01:42:42,630
baited. As I'm now an instantite and a mini baron,

1613
01:42:42,710 --> 01:42:44,892
it sounds a little better. I'd like some jobs, Karma.

1614
01:42:45,012 --> 01:42:49,015
Obamacare has been great for America, but as a small

1615
01:42:49,075 --> 01:42:53,258
business owner, it's gutted the profit for my business. Oh,

1616
01:42:53,358 --> 01:42:57,100
yeah. It's horrible. We keep saying. Yeah. Okay, so the

1617
01:42:57,100 --> 01:42:58,741
only one I couldn't get this story, so I only

1618
01:42:58,761 --> 01:43:00,943
have the teaser for it, but I can explain the

1619
01:43:00,963 --> 01:43:03,605
story. For some reason, I just couldn't get the story.

1620
01:43:03,705 --> 01:43:07,988
But here's the teaser's UK heli payments. Coming up next

1621
01:43:07,988 --> 01:43:10,469
here on Sky News, giving away money to heal a

1622
01:43:10,589 --> 01:43:14,052
sick economy. How so-called helicopter payments could be the cure

1623
01:43:14,712 --> 01:43:19,856
for a global slowdown. helicopter payment what so this is

1624
01:43:19,976 --> 01:43:24,859
in ireland and so these these child literal helicopters the

1625
01:43:24,979 --> 01:43:29,082
big boys no yes and they're throwing bags and bags

1626
01:43:29,202 --> 01:43:32,104
of money out of the shop no no no no

1627
01:43:32,144 --> 01:43:35,166
this is yes i don't understand they can't just they

1628
01:43:35,206 --> 01:43:41,551
can't just land what's going on he's throwing it Here

1629
01:43:41,551 --> 01:43:45,853
I am, ladies and gentlemen, in my stealth helicopter. I

1630
01:43:45,953 --> 01:43:47,395
got to hear that clip again. You need to get

1631
01:43:47,414 --> 01:43:49,356
the whole story. Coming up next here on Sky News,

1632
01:43:49,436 --> 01:43:52,578
giving away money to heal a sick economy. How so-called

1633
01:43:52,638 --> 01:43:56,661
helicopter payments could be the cure for a global slowdown.

1634
01:43:57,081 --> 01:43:59,903
You're full of crap, Dvorak. No, I'm telling you. They're

1635
01:43:59,903 --> 01:44:02,745
throwing bags of money out of the choppers. And it

1636
01:44:02,865 --> 01:44:05,507
almost reminds me of some old movie where the king

1637
01:44:05,587 --> 01:44:08,069
is throwing pennies at the peasants and they're following him.

1638
01:44:08,089 --> 01:44:11,111
And they're all these little boys and girls that are

1639
01:44:11,171 --> 01:44:13,813
waifs. And they're all grabbing the coins and the money

1640
01:44:13,872 --> 01:44:17,155
off the ground. Let's go but they have they haven't

1641
01:44:17,195 --> 01:44:19,536
actually done this yet have this is not occurred They

1642
01:44:19,657 --> 01:44:22,759
showed a video of the chopper throwing money but bags

1643
01:44:22,859 --> 01:44:25,881
of money flying out of the chopper. Yeah This is

1644
01:44:26,021 --> 01:44:28,703
crazy. I'm trying to find this now. I want to

1645
01:44:28,763 --> 01:44:33,886
find some pictures of it Okay, well the memes are

1646
01:44:33,926 --> 01:44:37,088
there there's helicopters with a big piggy bank underneath I

1647
01:44:38,189 --> 01:44:44,293
mean Someone's already working on it. Okay, perfect Helly, helly

1648
01:44:44,413 --> 01:44:49,377
payments. Who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing? I

1649
01:44:49,697 --> 01:44:53,379
don't put anything past these people. But Kress, our producer

1650
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:57,983
from Denmark, says by the 16th of November in Denmark,

1651
01:44:58,283 --> 01:45:00,584
all mink are to be put down due to a

1652
01:45:00,684 --> 01:45:07,369
mutation. The Danish CDC, Statenserumsinstitut. They say they have found

1653
01:45:07,429 --> 01:45:10,551
at least five mutations of the COVID-19 virus. They call

1654
01:45:10,631 --> 01:45:14,234
it Cluster 5. And they say it jumps from mink

1655
01:45:14,374 --> 01:45:17,056
to people. I'm telling you, John, there's some secret here.

1656
01:45:17,736 --> 01:45:20,938
There is something going on with this mink. So they're

1657
01:45:20,958 --> 01:45:26,822
stepping up the test by threefold. for everybody and they

1658
01:45:26,902 --> 01:45:29,564
have to call all of the mink in all of

1659
01:45:29,584 --> 01:45:33,907
Denmark by the 16th. But here's what's interesting. He's heard

1660
01:45:34,007 --> 01:45:38,510
people saying that... Hey, first they come for the ferrets,

1661
01:45:38,991 --> 01:45:42,153
but they may be coming for our pets next. And

1662
01:45:42,213 --> 01:45:45,415
I like this. I like this. Yes, I like it

1663
01:45:45,455 --> 01:45:48,757
a lot. Dogs are people too. They're coming for your

1664
01:45:48,817 --> 01:45:52,680
dogs. They're going to cull your dogs. Well, this makes

1665
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:58,764
my wife's investment in mink coats. Worth it. Well, you

1666
01:45:58,784 --> 01:46:03,327
know what Mimi's been doing for probably 15 years? I

1667
01:46:03,427 --> 01:46:06,569
think she's got maybe five or six of these coats.

1668
01:46:06,910 --> 01:46:10,212
Huh. Uh, and then she does research on him after

1669
01:46:10,272 --> 01:46:14,095
she gets him. Because of the West Coast and its,

1670
01:46:14,575 --> 01:46:19,938
oh, fur thing, you can get a mink coat on

1671
01:46:20,099 --> 01:46:24,221
Craigslist. that happened to be owned by some grandma. She

1672
01:46:24,301 --> 01:46:26,743
bought it in the 30s or 40s from some furrier

1673
01:46:26,823 --> 01:46:30,025
in New York City. And you can get it for

1674
01:46:30,065 --> 01:46:34,709
like 100 bucks. because you don't want to own one.

1675
01:46:35,009 --> 01:46:37,070
And so she's been buying a bunch of these when

1676
01:46:37,130 --> 01:46:38,931
she sees them. She doesn't buy every one, but she's

1677
01:46:38,971 --> 01:46:41,913
bought a number of them. For like a hundred bucks.

1678
01:46:41,974 --> 01:46:44,555
And we do a little research afterwards. And the original

1679
01:46:44,675 --> 01:46:48,678
price of the coat was like eight grand in 1930.

1680
01:46:48,758 --> 01:46:52,641
Oh, yeah. In 1930, it was eight grand. Holy crap.

1681
01:46:52,821 --> 01:46:55,603
That was might as well be an eight, 80,000, if

1682
01:46:55,703 --> 01:47:00,366
not more. So now these coats will be more valuable

1683
01:47:00,746 --> 01:47:05,209
unless they can maintain this hatred of dead animal fur.

1684
01:47:06,310 --> 01:47:07,831
But people out there on the lookout, you should go

1685
01:47:07,971 --> 01:47:10,193
check this out. In certain parts of the country, you're

1686
01:47:10,193 --> 01:47:14,376
going to be able to get these very expensive... coats

1687
01:47:15,016 --> 01:47:18,278
fur coats for next to nothing on craigslist your tip

1688
01:47:18,318 --> 01:47:33,318
of the day This is Nutball00, two nuts on population

1689
01:47:45,357 --> 01:47:54,803
control. contributing to the process under the pretense that they're

1690
01:47:54,803 --> 01:47:58,386
doing a good thing by staying home and raising children.

1691
01:47:58,886 --> 01:48:03,009
We don't need children. If you find yourself pregnant, there

1692
01:48:03,109 --> 01:48:07,091
are options and you can have an abortion. No babies.

1693
01:48:07,252 --> 01:48:11,475
Cut off the baby factors. We have 7.5 billion with

1694
01:48:11,475 --> 01:48:15,297
a B humans on the planet. That's too much. The

1695
01:48:15,497 --> 01:48:20,521
actual ideal amount seems to be under 1 billion. Under

1696
01:48:20,681 --> 01:48:24,764
$1 billion. We have $7.5 billion. No babies. Women who

1697
01:48:25,104 --> 01:48:28,406
have babies and stay home to raise them should not

1698
01:48:28,506 --> 01:48:31,608
be viewed as doing a good thing. That's not a

1699
01:48:31,628 --> 01:48:34,850
good thing. It's completely not what the situation calls for

1700
01:48:34,990 --> 01:48:39,734
at all. I'm sorry. Find another way to contribute and

1701
01:48:39,814 --> 01:48:44,817
be valued. That's not a good way. I'm sorry. Do

1702
01:48:44,877 --> 01:48:47,679
they have a GoFundMe or a Patreon that I can

1703
01:48:47,739 --> 01:48:49,280
contribute to? They don't need it. They make a lot

1704
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,742
of money. They do? How do they make money? I

1705
01:48:51,742 --> 01:48:54,424
believe so. If you check her out, she does a

1706
01:48:54,464 --> 01:48:57,306
lot of healing things, and she's in Washington, D.C., making

1707
01:48:57,386 --> 01:49:02,910
a fortune. Okay. Now... The lifting of the... Two of

1708
01:49:02,930 --> 01:49:04,831
them have their arms in the air, but the younger

1709
01:49:05,031 --> 01:49:09,754
one, who's obviously the mom hates. She had a baby,

1710
01:49:09,814 --> 01:49:12,176
obviously, and this girl, and the girl can't even say

1711
01:49:12,256 --> 01:49:15,058
anything except that's true, that's true, that's true. In fact,

1712
01:49:15,078 --> 01:49:17,179
they even isolated it. I got an ISO of it.

1713
01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:22,183
That's true. That's true. So she's like diamond and silk?

1714
01:49:22,283 --> 01:49:24,504
That's all she does? That's true. She just says that's

1715
01:49:24,584 --> 01:49:28,267
true. That's true. She does say stuff once in a

1716
01:49:28,327 --> 01:49:32,450
while. And when she says something... I'd say 90% of

1717
01:49:32,490 --> 01:49:35,152
the time the old lady shuts her down and says

1718
01:49:35,332 --> 01:49:39,615
no and tells her no. And this was during a

1719
01:49:39,655 --> 01:49:41,976
moment where she explained the arm in the air thing.

1720
01:49:42,296 --> 01:49:46,859
What she's doing is she's pulling the strands of imaginary

1721
01:49:46,980 --> 01:49:53,464
strands of. Anger and fatigue and every bad thing that

1722
01:49:53,484 --> 01:49:55,065
you have, you're pulling it out of your body and

1723
01:49:55,065 --> 01:49:56,986
you're holding it into the air and throwing it away.

1724
01:49:57,827 --> 01:49:59,328
So she's doing that constantly.

1725
01:50:00,039 --> 01:50:01,761
And the old lady does it once in a while,

1726
01:50:01,861 --> 01:50:04,683
too. And when the daughter explained this, the old lady,

1727
01:50:05,363 --> 01:50:07,585
the daughter says, I invite you can all do this

1728
01:50:07,645 --> 01:50:11,807
yourself. You can pull the fatigue and frustrations and the

1729
01:50:11,908 --> 01:50:13,669
things about life out of your body and throw them

1730
01:50:13,669 --> 01:50:15,770
in the air. And the old lady says, no, you

1731
01:50:15,890 --> 01:50:19,073
can't. It's too late for them. I don't know if

1732
01:50:19,092 --> 01:50:22,115
you saw the newsletter after it was finalized. I got

1733
01:50:22,195 --> 01:50:26,217
it from No Agenda Social. This picture of the woman,

1734
01:50:26,498 --> 01:50:31,081
the quote-unquote whistleblower who we spotted as a spook. And

1735
01:50:31,141 --> 01:50:34,343
it's a tweet from her, and she's joined Twitter on

1736
01:50:34,463 --> 01:50:37,305
October 6th, and within a day... She's got a blue

1737
01:50:37,365 --> 01:50:40,707
checkmark. She's got a blue checkmark within a day, and

1738
01:50:40,767 --> 01:50:44,130
she's got already 50,000 followers within a day. If you

1739
01:50:44,210 --> 01:50:47,032
go now, it's like 70 or something. And I just

1740
01:50:47,092 --> 01:50:49,753
keep looking at that, shaking my head, reminding me that

1741
01:50:49,833 --> 01:50:51,575
we did have a clip of one of the women

1742
01:50:51,595 --> 01:50:53,736
who was, I think, one of the disguise experts, somebody

1743
01:50:53,736 --> 01:50:56,138
who worked at the agency for a long time. And

1744
01:50:56,178 --> 01:50:58,139
she said, well, we have a real problem with social

1745
01:50:58,239 --> 01:51:01,521
media because we don't know if it's a tell that

1746
01:51:02,222 --> 01:51:05,484
our people don't have an account. They've never had an

1747
01:51:05,544 --> 01:51:08,826
account. They're not on LinkedIn. They're not on Twitter. They're

1748
01:51:08,846 --> 01:51:12,309
not on Facebook. And she's worried that it's a tell

1749
01:51:12,829 --> 01:51:16,972
that it might indicate that they're intelligence people. A lot

1750
01:51:16,992 --> 01:51:19,234
of them don't even have the same name. real life

1751
01:51:19,834 --> 01:51:23,877
and they use pseudonyms just consistently. Wasn't that, wasn't that,

1752
01:51:24,317 --> 01:51:27,259
that was Kara Swisher. One of the things that the

1753
01:51:27,299 --> 01:51:30,301
organization does, they encourage folks not to have much of

1754
01:51:30,321 --> 01:51:33,103
a virtual presence. And what that resulted in is a

1755
01:51:33,123 --> 01:51:34,944
lot of our folks who had been here for a

1756
01:51:34,984 --> 01:51:38,287
while had no idea how much digital dust was being

1757
01:51:38,387 --> 01:51:41,068
created, how much of a signature it was not to

1758
01:51:41,108 --> 01:51:43,770
have a digital persona. Like if you're not using Facebook

1759
01:51:43,850 --> 01:51:46,672
or Instagram and things like that. Particularly in my business,

1760
01:51:46,752 --> 01:51:50,055
right? It's like, you know, conversations about is that actually

1761
01:51:50,074 --> 01:51:53,257
a tell if you have no digital footprint who are

1762
01:51:53,317 --> 01:51:56,599
you right that's the directorate of digital innovation yours is

1763
01:51:56,659 --> 01:52:01,362
more like the Q branch and she kind of sounds

1764
01:52:01,382 --> 01:52:05,265
a little bit milieu ish Lee like the right you

1765
01:52:05,385 --> 01:52:08,767
think right When I was at the Air Pollution District,

1766
01:52:08,787 --> 01:52:11,009
we had the opportunity. I always, always take seminars. I'm

1767
01:52:11,069 --> 01:52:14,391
a big fan of these things. I took a one-day

1768
01:52:14,551 --> 01:52:21,376
seminar on memo writing. It was called CYA 101? No,

1769
01:52:21,496 --> 01:52:24,238
but you could get your CYA information out of this

1770
01:52:24,278 --> 01:52:26,359
memo writing class. I'll bet. It was a whole day

1771
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:28,521
of how to write a memo, which seems like a

1772
01:52:28,641 --> 01:52:32,744
stupid day off. But no, to this day, I can

1773
01:52:32,844 --> 01:52:35,746
write some of the greatest memos you've ever read. As

1774
01:52:36,506 --> 01:52:39,608
an outside of government writer who's also been trained in

1775
01:52:39,848 --> 01:52:42,290
writing memos. This woman did not know how to write

1776
01:52:42,330 --> 01:52:45,212
this memo properly that she sent out to her email.

1777
01:52:45,212 --> 01:52:46,393
It should have been written in the form of a

1778
01:52:46,433 --> 01:52:50,356
memo. have had all the disclaimers at the beginning about

1779
01:52:50,376 --> 01:52:53,017
how great the vaccination is and how we're not trying

1780
01:52:53,077 --> 01:52:55,259
to do anything she could have had the whole thing

1781
01:52:55,359 --> 01:52:57,621
put together in a package in such a way that

1782
01:52:57,661 --> 01:53:00,823
she would have never gotten any kickback whatsoever in fact

1783
01:53:00,883 --> 01:53:03,705
she would have but would she have achieved anything yes

1784
01:53:03,805 --> 01:53:05,506
she would have been able to continue with it with

1785
01:53:05,566 --> 01:53:07,888
this idea of filling the vars database and what would

1786
01:53:07,928 --> 01:53:09,889
have happened that would be even better if it was

1787
01:53:10,049 --> 01:53:12,891
done correctly it would have been it would have gone

1788
01:53:12,931 --> 01:53:15,593
out like a virus and hit all the other hospitals

1789
01:53:15,613 --> 01:53:18,515
so none of the hospitals would have any indication of

1790
01:53:19,355 --> 01:53:22,518
reporting more or less than the average. Right, right, right.

1791
01:53:22,578 --> 01:53:26,080
It could have worked out, but because she was panicking...

1792
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:30,223
No, no, it's because she wasn't thinking about the organization.

1793
01:53:30,643 --> 01:53:32,945
She's only thinking about patients. She didn't think about... She

1794
01:53:32,945 --> 01:53:35,987
wasn't thinking right. Well, no, she's not thinking right. It's

1795
01:53:36,047 --> 01:53:38,468
a very endearing lady. You can still get the job

1796
01:53:38,568 --> 01:53:41,490
done. You can still get the job done within these

1797
01:53:41,591 --> 01:53:45,373
large organizations correctly and not get the blowback that she

1798
01:53:45,453 --> 01:53:49,256
got and end up with her tittering. Are there some

1799
01:53:49,296 --> 01:53:52,618
other tips you can give the producers when it comes

1800
01:53:52,678 --> 01:53:54,960
to important memo writing? One of the main things about

1801
01:53:55,020 --> 01:53:57,221
memo writing is you always open the memo. For one

1802
01:53:57,221 --> 01:53:59,943
thing, they have to be formally formatted. They have to

1803
01:53:59,963 --> 01:54:02,625
be formatted as a memo. Is that a template in

1804
01:54:02,705 --> 01:54:07,768
Word? I never saw one, but there might be. Okay,

1805
01:54:07,929 --> 01:54:10,670
I'm just saying, this is exit strategy time. There should

1806
01:54:10,690 --> 01:54:14,773
be a no agenda memo template. My only tip is

1807
01:54:14,773 --> 01:54:17,695
going to be the following. The opening of all memos

1808
01:54:17,735 --> 01:54:21,077
has to be extremely complimentary and a kind of a

1809
01:54:21,117 --> 01:54:24,760
rundown of how great everything is. Oh, really? Yeah, you

1810
01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:29,603
open up with how fabulous everything is. And it's usually

1811
01:54:29,663 --> 01:54:33,926
a short three-sentence paragraph, maybe two. And then from there,

1812
01:54:33,946 --> 01:54:37,889
you go on. your grousing. The only memos I ever

1813
01:54:37,929 --> 01:54:43,773
wrote started like this: "To memorialize our conversations." That's the

1814
01:54:43,833 --> 01:54:47,495
boss CYA note. To memorialize our conversation where I told

1815
01:54:47,536 --> 01:54:49,577
you you would no longer be reporting into the VAERS

1816
01:54:49,637 --> 01:54:55,681
database. Actually, technically, a CYA note, which I've done. In

1817
01:54:55,741 --> 01:54:58,183
fact, I saved my job once from doing one, and

1818
01:54:58,243 --> 01:55:04,487
it was on accident. Okay, do tell. A CYA note

1819
01:55:04,647 --> 01:55:08,930
is to point out, constantly be pointing out stuff in

1820
01:55:09,050 --> 01:55:13,693
writing. issues that you have with something that doesn't work

1821
01:55:13,913 --> 01:55:16,735
or something that you didn't get any feedback from someone,

1822
01:55:17,276 --> 01:55:20,658
just little bitty things. And you put a string of

1823
01:55:20,718 --> 01:55:25,261
those out asking for help. And what happened to me

1824
01:55:25,461 --> 01:55:29,604
once was that... I was not, some product that was

1825
01:55:29,644 --> 01:55:33,847
inspecting it when I was an inspector at Trailmobile was

1826
01:55:33,887 --> 01:55:37,069
going out improperly. And it wasn't, because it couldn't be

1827
01:55:37,189 --> 01:55:41,512
fixed. It was unfixable. The design of this product made

1828
01:55:41,592 --> 01:55:45,855
for Pacific Corries or some company. It was a cargo

1829
01:55:45,955 --> 01:55:47,716
container that was made out of fiberglass and it just

1830
01:55:47,777 --> 01:55:50,859
wasn't going to work. And I immediately sent some notes

1831
01:55:50,959 --> 01:55:52,880
in about it and I never got any feedback. It

1832
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:55,802
went on for months until the final inspectors started catching

1833
01:55:55,862 --> 01:55:59,444
these things to the carpet for these things being... Ah,

1834
01:55:59,525 --> 01:56:02,367
you had your memos. I said, well, I sent it.

1835
01:56:02,386 --> 01:56:04,888
Look at this. Yeah, I had my mamos and then

1836
01:56:04,948 --> 01:56:07,170
boom, I was back on the job. It was instant.

1837
01:56:09,191 --> 01:56:12,053
Somebody else got fired. Of course. Someone bit the bullet

1838
01:56:12,053 --> 01:56:19,198
for that one. Oh my. Anyway, so the medical system

1839
01:56:19,398 --> 01:56:24,642
is clearly... commercialized to a degree where the Hippocratic Oath

1840
01:56:24,802 --> 01:56:27,344
is just a part of the responsibility. It's not the

1841
01:56:27,504 --> 01:56:30,806
overarching thing. It's just a part of it. Or what's

1842
01:56:30,866 --> 01:56:34,869
left of the... Corporate responsibilities always supersedes. Say it again,

1843
01:56:34,909 --> 01:56:37,310
what do you want it? Sir Chris Vox. Yeah, at

1844
01:56:37,330 --> 01:56:40,833
the round table? Oh, chips and dip. Chips and dip?

1845
01:56:41,693 --> 01:56:43,234
Done, sir. I thought that was that to round table,

1846
01:56:43,314 --> 01:56:45,016
to be honest about it. It always is, but he

1847
01:56:45,096 --> 01:56:47,898
may want some onion dip. I'll get some onion dip.

1848
01:56:48,058 --> 01:56:51,420
He didn't say onion dip. He's getting onion dip. Well,

1849
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:53,681
you didn't say, I'm going to give people a good,

1850
01:56:54,062 --> 01:56:56,884
uh... He's getting onion dip. If he doesn't specify, he's

1851
01:56:56,984 --> 01:56:59,906
getting what we got in the castle. You get it.

1852
01:56:59,946 --> 01:57:03,048
Here's what you do. I'm just, there's a generalized tip.

1853
01:57:03,228 --> 01:57:04,929
Yes, a tip. There's a couple of these seasonings, one

1854
01:57:04,969 --> 01:57:06,970
made by Badia and the other one made by this

1855
01:57:06,991 --> 01:57:11,514
other Mexican company. But Badia Saison Total, it's a big

1856
01:57:11,574 --> 01:57:14,976
giant seasoning. And it's great for everything. You get it

1857
01:57:14,996 --> 01:57:17,958
at Mexican stores. And you just buy any sour cream

1858
01:57:17,978 --> 01:57:22,221
and you take about two tablespoons of this Badia Saison

1859
01:57:22,341 --> 01:57:25,563
Total and you mix it into the sour cream. Best

1860
01:57:25,803 --> 01:57:32,548
dip ever. Another snack. That was your snack tip of

1861
01:57:32,588 --> 01:57:36,351
the day. It was the guy. Okay, the joke goes

1862
01:57:36,711 --> 01:57:40,433
something like this. A guy is having the, he's got

1863
01:57:40,433 --> 01:57:42,655
hemorrhoids and he's at the doctors and he's having the

1864
01:57:42,735 --> 01:57:46,417
glass rod treatment for the hemorrhoids and it's costing him

1865
01:57:46,858 --> 01:57:49,399
$200 a treatment. He's got to do it a couple

1866
01:57:49,399 --> 01:57:52,101
of times a week and he's getting, it's adding up.

1867
01:57:52,181 --> 01:57:54,503
He's getting kind of sick of it. And he says,

1868
01:57:54,603 --> 01:57:57,845
doc, is there any way that I can, this is

1869
01:57:57,945 --> 01:58:00,587
costing me too much money. Can, can any way I

1870
01:58:00,647 --> 01:58:02,829
can do this at home or is there some, something

1871
01:58:02,909 --> 01:58:05,290
else that we can be done here? And he says,

1872
01:58:05,350 --> 01:58:08,452
yeah, well, okay. The doctor reluctantly says, yeah, but, The

1873
01:58:08,552 --> 01:58:11,334
glass rod's kind of expensive. It's a thousand bucks. Believe

1874
01:58:11,354 --> 01:58:13,576
me, that'll save me money. So he sells him the

1875
01:58:13,596 --> 01:58:15,377
glass rod and takes it home to his wife and

1876
01:58:15,737 --> 01:58:18,339
gonna have her do the treatment. And he says, honey,

1877
01:58:18,359 --> 01:58:20,140
I admitted you're gonna have to do the glass rod

1878
01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:22,762
treatment for my hemorrhoids. And she says, okay, what do

1879
01:58:22,782 --> 01:58:24,303
you want? He says, okay, well, the first thing you

1880
01:58:24,323 --> 01:58:26,044
do is you get the glass rod out. And he

1881
01:58:26,084 --> 01:58:28,666
says, you put your right hand on my right shoulder

1882
01:58:29,106 --> 01:58:32,889
and your left hand on my left shoulder. And why

1883
01:58:32,949 --> 01:58:36,792
that son of a bitch. I'm gonna show my support

1884
01:58:36,852 --> 01:58:39,734
by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who

1885
01:58:39,794 --> 01:58:54,794
could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab You have

1886
01:59:21,422 --> 01:59:26,265
your regular mic? Yeah, nothing's changed. Maybe it's just, maybe

1887
01:59:26,306 --> 01:59:30,949
like a fine wine. I'm kidding, Basie. Basie, you're with

1888
01:59:31,609 --> 01:59:33,851
A. One of the guys in the papers in the

1889
01:59:33,851 --> 01:59:38,534
2000 word, 2000 word, 2000 page document, 2000 plus pages,

1890
01:59:39,274 --> 01:59:43,477
is Marvin Minsky. Big shot at the Media Lab. major,

1891
01:59:43,657 --> 01:59:46,279
major guy. I remember running into him. In fact, he

1892
01:59:46,379 --> 01:59:51,202
personally threw me out of a meeting. Do tell. We

1893
01:59:51,262 --> 01:59:53,904
need to hear this. Tell us first who Marvin Minsky

1894
01:59:54,184 --> 01:59:56,426
is and then how you got kicked out of the

1895
01:59:56,506 --> 01:59:58,788
meeting. One of the famous...

1896
02:00:00,960 --> 02:00:05,923
Artificial intelligence guys from the 80s, the first go-round, and

1897
02:00:05,984 --> 02:00:08,485
maybe even the one before. Every 30 years or so,

1898
02:00:08,545 --> 02:00:12,708
this artificial AI. Didn't he kind of write the book

1899
02:00:12,808 --> 02:00:19,573
on artificial intelligence? He wrote a book. Hey, at least

1900
02:00:19,653 --> 02:00:23,616
he published it. Well, you got me on that. So

1901
02:00:24,356 --> 02:00:29,359
I got invited as a lark. uh by will hurst

1902
02:00:30,620 --> 02:00:34,143
to go into the media lab with the executives of

1903
02:00:34,183 --> 02:00:37,985
the Hearst Corporation who are getting a tour that you

1904
02:00:38,065 --> 02:00:41,588
were you didn't have to sign a non-disclosure uh-huh And

1905
02:00:41,648 --> 02:00:44,590
I was like, Hurst and I were just wandering, we're

1906
02:00:44,610 --> 02:00:46,691
in the kind of just wandering, we're just in the

1907
02:00:46,751 --> 02:00:50,274
group. There's about one, two, three, four, maybe eight, nine

1908
02:00:50,334 --> 02:00:54,657
people. including the CEO and Randy Hurst and all these

1909
02:00:54,717 --> 02:00:56,638
other people. We're going through this thing and we're getting

1910
02:00:56,638 --> 02:00:58,539
to see the dog and pony show that they put

1911
02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:00,381
on, which is where I found out a number of

1912
02:01:00,421 --> 02:01:03,523
interesting things that I used later in certain columns because

1913
02:01:03,583 --> 02:01:07,305
I could. I didn't have to worry about being nondisclosed

1914
02:01:07,385 --> 02:01:09,787
on any of it. And so we're going from meeting

1915
02:01:09,827 --> 02:01:11,528
to meeting where these guys are just full of crap

1916
02:01:11,588 --> 02:01:14,670
and they're showing us everything in the place. Got a

1917
02:01:14,690 --> 02:01:19,474
great tour. And I have a few. ribald comments to

1918
02:01:19,534 --> 02:01:21,355
make and so we go into this final meeting and

1919
02:01:21,355 --> 02:01:25,658
there's minsky in there with uh the guy that's ahead

1920
02:01:25,698 --> 02:01:28,940
at that time whose name is deluding me Vulva's Wired

1921
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:32,262
Magazine. And Minsky sees me. He knows who I am.

1922
02:01:32,282 --> 02:01:36,265
And he says, what's this guy doing here? What's Dvorak

1923
02:01:36,365 --> 02:01:41,829
doing here? Pretty much. This guy. And everybody's looking left

1924
02:01:41,929 --> 02:01:43,810
and right. And I'm sitting there with a stupid smile

1925
02:01:43,910 --> 02:01:50,435
on my face. And they asked me to leave. Yeah.

1926
02:01:50,655 --> 02:01:53,457
Yeah. Yeah. So we'll actually, we'll left with me. The

1927
02:01:53,457 --> 02:01:56,719
two of us left. Oh, that's cool. At least it

1928
02:01:56,759 --> 02:02:01,282
was from what I could tell. Yeah. And so we

1929
02:02:01,402 --> 02:02:03,203
left, we, and it was at the end anyway. So

1930
02:02:03,264 --> 02:02:05,225
who cares? And we went out and did something in

1931
02:02:05,325 --> 02:02:08,047
Boston somewhere. And then as you left, like, that's the

1932
02:02:08,107 --> 02:02:12,590
mouse guy. Hey guys. Thank you again for the best

1933
02:02:12,650 --> 02:02:15,352
podcast in the universe. I have a couple of edibles

1934
02:02:15,372 --> 02:02:19,154
the other day and ended up listening. I ended up

1935
02:02:19,234 --> 02:02:24,698
listening to a recent episode of Brett Weinstein's podcast. Necessary.

1936
02:02:24,698 --> 02:02:27,900
He had to be stoned. He was discussing atrazine and

1937
02:02:27,940 --> 02:02:32,103
frogs, which we talked about 10 years ago. Well, Alex

1938
02:02:32,223 --> 02:02:35,565
Jones told us that it's turning the frogs gay. Well,

1939
02:02:35,606 --> 02:02:37,307
he said it was turning the frogs gay, but I'm

1940
02:02:37,347 --> 02:02:39,108
the one who had the clips from the professor at

1941
02:02:39,188 --> 02:02:44,672
Cal that was discussing atrazine in the water and mentioned

1942
02:02:44,692 --> 02:02:48,334
the possibility. I think I figured, and people should, we

1943
02:02:48,414 --> 02:02:50,396
should look those clips up again. I have them. I

1944
02:02:50,416 --> 02:02:53,238
have them. I have them all. It's a whole series.

1945
02:02:53,238 --> 02:02:55,179
I think I figured that the real reason they want

1946
02:02:55,219 --> 02:03:00,022
us feasting on insects. This hypothesis of how carnivorous frogs

1947
02:03:00,042 --> 02:03:04,545
should be exposed to the herbicide. to the herbicide atrazine.

1948
02:03:05,026 --> 02:03:09,589
It was most likely due to their diet bugs. The

1949
02:03:09,649 --> 02:03:12,451
bugs eat the poison plants, we eat the bugs, and

1950
02:03:12,471 --> 02:03:18,715
the little boy's dick. start to falling off. Yay! Yay!

1951
02:03:19,455 --> 02:03:25,079
Game, set, match. The lizard people win. He's still on

1952
02:03:25,179 --> 02:03:28,962
edibles, it seems to me. Hey, man, for jingles, can

1953
02:03:29,062 --> 02:03:33,145
I get an I Like Bugs, Fauci Wheeze, and Trump

1954
02:03:33,305 --> 02:03:39,109
Space Force? Thanks. So Darren O'Neill brought us this fantastic,

1955
02:03:39,349 --> 02:03:40,770
I liked it a lot. You had an issue with

1956
02:03:40,830 --> 02:03:44,012
it for a specific reason. It was a four-pack of

1957
02:03:44,112 --> 02:03:47,655
Duracell C batteries. I think it would be C. Didn't

1958
02:03:47,675 --> 02:03:51,157
look like C or Ds. And it had the copper

1959
02:03:51,197 --> 02:03:53,839
top look. It had no agenda on it instead of

1960
02:03:54,099 --> 02:03:59,102
Duracell, of course, guaranteed 33 years in storage. It was

1961
02:03:59,883 --> 02:04:03,305
like one of those plastic packs. And it almost didn't

1962
02:04:03,325 --> 02:04:08,109
pass because you hate the actual product. I do, and

1963
02:04:08,129 --> 02:04:12,412
I tell you why. After I found this online guy

1964
02:04:12,472 --> 02:04:15,454
who's a battery nut who turned me on to Allmax

1965
02:04:16,254 --> 02:04:19,196
and Fuji batteries, which is the ones I order now,

1966
02:04:19,236 --> 02:04:23,179
although Allmax are harder to find, but Fuji's have always

1967
02:04:23,199 --> 02:04:27,582
been around. Because every time I buy those Duracells from

1968
02:04:27,702 --> 02:04:31,124
Costco, I put them in some device or other, I

1969
02:04:31,144 --> 02:04:32,905
come back a month later, and they're in there, they're

1970
02:04:32,945 --> 02:04:35,968
exploded, I have to clean out the goo that's in

1971
02:04:36,048 --> 02:04:40,090
there, it's a mess. batteries are garbage. I do not

1972
02:04:40,211 --> 02:04:42,672
like them. And I have photos. I've taken photos. I've

1973
02:04:42,692 --> 02:04:45,754
posted them every once in a while. Duracell batteries don't

1974
02:04:45,814 --> 02:04:49,377
hold up and then they burst. They go to something.

1975
02:04:49,557 --> 02:04:51,998
They burst inside product and you have to clean out

1976
02:04:52,139 --> 02:04:54,200
the mess and hopefully you can still get a good

1977
02:04:54,260 --> 02:04:58,283
connection. I've never had an Allmax battery do that. Ever.

1978
02:04:58,323 --> 02:05:06,849
For years. Allmax. A-L-L-M-A-C-S? Allmax? No. A-L-L-M-A-X. Allmax. Allmax. Never

1979
02:05:06,849 --> 02:05:08,310
heard of the product. Do you have a couple points

1980
02:05:08,370 --> 02:05:15,454
of that? I wish. Allmax. Okay. Allmax from now on

1981
02:05:15,675 --> 02:05:18,396
is the battery of the No Agenda show. Fuji also

1982
02:05:18,437 --> 02:05:21,279
makes a terrific product. I had to go with Fuji

1983
02:05:21,379 --> 02:05:27,663
recently because, Costco, because Amazon stopped carrying the Allmax huge

1984
02:05:27,823 --> 02:05:29,904
pack you could buy for like a few dollars. Oh,

1985
02:05:30,004 --> 02:05:34,267
no. Now I've got this clip. This is another one.

1986
02:05:34,748 --> 02:05:37,710
So he's so hard up Beto is that he went

1987
02:05:37,750 --> 02:05:43,934
to go on Sharpton. Yes. Now I'm going to kind

1988
02:05:44,014 --> 02:05:45,875
of jump to the punchline so I can get this

1989
02:05:45,935 --> 02:05:47,416
out of the way. And then I'm going to play

1990
02:05:47,496 --> 02:05:50,679
the whole Beto clip because I'm not playing, because I

1991
02:05:51,039 --> 02:05:54,301
want this to be, I've created the ISO that everybody's

1992
02:05:54,381 --> 02:06:04,028
all jitty about. list and it goes into the files

1993
02:06:04,088 --> 02:06:06,309
and I'm gonna play I'm gonna do this backwards I'm

1994
02:06:06,309 --> 02:06:08,591
gonna do a back ass word I'm going to play

1995
02:06:08,671 --> 02:06:10,412
the gaff first so we get that out of the

1996
02:06:10,432 --> 02:06:12,714
way and then we can play the sharp the Sharpton

1997
02:06:12,814 --> 02:06:16,356
and Beto actually talking but this is gurgle and Hitler

1998
02:06:16,416 --> 02:06:19,838
Sharpton ISO perhaps he was influenced by gurgle and the

1999
02:06:20,379 --> 02:06:27,203
Third Reich So he says that Trump was influenced by

2000
02:06:27,384 --> 02:06:33,908
Gergel. Gergel. Gergel. Gergel and the Third Reich. Reich, yes,

2001
02:06:34,008 --> 02:06:36,450
the Third Reich. Let's just listen to it again, just

2002
02:06:36,530 --> 02:06:40,012
because it's so beautiful. Perhaps he was influenced by Gergel

2003
02:06:40,112 --> 02:06:42,674
and the Third Reich. I mean, that is the end

2004
02:06:42,774 --> 02:06:46,957
of show, I mean, no doubt, end of show ISO.

2005
02:06:47,517 --> 02:06:50,760
Gergel. So he has this guy. And meanwhile, of course,

2006
02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:52,881
Beto hasn't got the nerve to say, I think you

2007
02:06:52,961 --> 02:06:58,385
mean. Well, careful, I want to make a statement right

2008
02:06:58,425 --> 02:07:01,507
now. Yeah. And this is an, I think we may

2009
02:07:01,527 --> 02:07:04,589
have talked about it previously, in a general American sense,

2010
02:07:05,109 --> 02:07:10,953
there is no R in Goebbels, okay? It's G-O-E-B-B-E-L-S, and

2011
02:07:10,973 --> 02:07:13,155
there's an umlaut in there somewhere. There is an R

2012
02:07:13,315 --> 02:07:17,738
in Goebbels, though. Yes, but even Beto says Goebbels. It's

2013
02:07:17,878 --> 02:07:20,980
not Goebbels. Yeah, Americans tend to say Goebbels. It's stupid.

2014
02:07:21,120 --> 02:07:25,143
It's Goebbels. Goebbels or Goebbels. Goebbels. Goebbels. Goebbels. You might

2015
02:07:25,183 --> 02:07:27,525
as well say Goebbels. I mean, it's just as dumb

2016
02:07:27,665 --> 02:07:32,248
as Goebbels. Well, Washington. But he could have at least

2017
02:07:32,328 --> 02:07:35,190
corrected him in some way. He just let it slide.

2018
02:07:35,210 --> 02:07:36,951
Of course. Because he hasn't got the guts. Nobody has

2019
02:07:37,011 --> 02:07:40,473
the guts to say anything to Sharpton. Oh, yeah. Sharpton's

2020
02:07:40,493 --> 02:07:45,777
an agent of change, man. Release the orb! Say it's

2021
02:07:45,897 --> 02:07:49,880
not so! If you know, you know. He's resorted to

2022
02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:53,562
being an Uber driver. Look at all these boxes. We

2023
02:07:53,863 --> 02:07:58,185
love you. Live! This is an outrage. They're out of

2024
02:07:58,225 --> 02:08:03,229
control. traffic control shut it down hottest day ever on

2025
02:08:03,409 --> 02:08:07,912
earth of all time okay frenchie game set match the

2026
02:08:07,972 --> 02:08:11,414
lizard people win the carbon is you take your pants

2027
02:08:11,515 --> 02:08:15,337
off the public i'm an egg white Last on the

2028
02:08:15,397 --> 02:08:18,719
list is Sir Puck. He's in North Carolina. Flat Rock.

2029
02:08:19,120 --> 02:08:21,681
Imagine somebody, what are we going to name this town,

2030
02:08:21,782 --> 02:08:24,383
Bill? I don't know. It was the first thing you

2031
02:08:24,463 --> 02:08:25,944
see. Let's call it that. You know, that's what the

2032
02:08:25,964 --> 02:08:28,486
Indians do when they name their kids. Oh, there's a

2033
02:08:28,606 --> 02:08:33,650
Flat Rock. I recently got 100% off social media except

2034
02:08:33,790 --> 02:08:36,211
LinkedIn, which is a piece of shit. Which is worse.

2035
02:08:36,431 --> 02:08:40,915
It's like, that's the horrible social media thing. LinkedIn, geez.

2036
02:08:41,335 --> 02:08:42,836
Well, unless you're trying to get a job, but it

2037
02:08:42,876 --> 02:08:45,898
doesn't work for that either. What happens, neither you or

2038
02:08:45,978 --> 02:08:48,460
I know, but the Keeper does, there are a lot

2039
02:08:48,540 --> 02:08:52,582
of dudes who stalk professional women on LinkedIn. It's quite

2040
02:08:52,703 --> 02:08:56,165
annoying. I believe that. I have a story to tell.

2041
02:08:56,905 --> 02:09:03,050
Do tell. I have a fake woman, beautiful, beautiful, that

2042
02:09:03,070 --> 02:09:05,932
is on LinkedIn. Every good story should start with, I

2043
02:09:06,012 --> 02:09:07,813
have a fake woman. That's always a win. I have

2044
02:09:07,813 --> 02:09:10,014
a fake woman, a fake woman, a beautiful fake woman

2045
02:09:10,014 --> 02:09:13,817
that's on LinkedIn. And I posted her up as a,

2046
02:09:13,917 --> 02:09:16,359
you know, with a good background. The whole thing is

2047
02:09:16,419 --> 02:09:19,261
just as a honey trap to see what kind of

2048
02:09:19,321 --> 02:09:22,123
douchebags would come on to her. Oh, this is you.

2049
02:09:22,163 --> 02:09:28,567
You are the fake woman. Yeah. Oh, sweetness. telling you

2050
02:09:29,067 --> 02:09:31,089
now i now i know what you did after you

2051
02:09:31,189 --> 02:09:36,192
left second life now i know where all that So

2052
02:09:37,193 --> 02:09:40,095
it's pretty embarrassing. I can see what she's talking about.

2053
02:09:40,255 --> 02:09:43,257
And it's people I know. I've kept it to myself.

2054
02:09:43,537 --> 02:09:46,099
Really? People you know who have been hitting her up?

2055
02:09:46,099 --> 02:09:48,541
Well, because I managed to link up with her in

2056
02:09:48,621 --> 02:09:51,283
such a way that she got into my network. And

2057
02:09:51,343 --> 02:09:53,624
next thing you know, she's got her own little network

2058
02:09:53,944 --> 02:09:55,826
that's pretty big. It has a lot of my people

2059
02:09:55,926 --> 02:09:58,307
in it. And they're hitting on her. Now, you know

2060
02:09:58,347 --> 02:09:59,628
what you're supposed to do.

2061
02:10:44,970 --> 02:10:47,432
had. So can you please, in your most fatherly tone,

2062
02:10:47,512 --> 02:10:50,954
say, I'm proud of you, kid. I'm proud of you,

2063
02:10:51,174 --> 02:10:56,018
kid. It will give... It will give... I felt that

2064
02:10:56,098 --> 02:10:59,720
even. Now we get to Eli. Eli the coffee guy

2065
02:10:59,720 --> 02:11:05,124
in Bensonville, Illinois. 20602. And he says, John, I love

2066
02:11:05,184 --> 02:11:08,026
the good news segment, but if you ever get rid

2067
02:11:08,106 --> 02:11:10,067
of it, replace it with a tip of the day.

2068
02:11:10,127 --> 02:11:14,150
Yes. Well, that's what we've done. Are you doing a

2069
02:11:14,170 --> 02:11:15,971
tip of the day today? I do have a tip

2070
02:11:16,031 --> 02:11:20,474
of the day. Oh, excellent. Thanks to a great tip

2071
02:11:20,614 --> 02:11:22,456
I heard on the show a few years ago, we

2072
02:11:22,556 --> 02:11:28,300
recently tried a saw turn paired with foie gras. That's

2073
02:11:28,400 --> 02:11:30,441
the combo you want. That's the one. That's the one.

2074
02:11:30,561 --> 02:11:34,084
It always works. It's never a combo I'd normally have

2075
02:11:34,104 --> 02:11:37,666
gone for, but we loved it. In fact, saw turns,

2076
02:11:37,746 --> 02:11:40,168
especially if you have a good one that's just a

2077
02:11:40,228 --> 02:11:43,610
beauty. That's how I got my final and best wife.

2078
02:11:45,932 --> 02:11:52,236
Well, that's another tip. Uh-huh. I'll just say it. So,

2079
02:11:52,336 --> 02:11:55,979
a turn will get you laid. There you go. And,

2080
02:11:56,059 --> 02:11:59,481
ladies and gentlemen, I can be... I'm very proud as

2081
02:11:59,601 --> 02:12:02,763
a white man from the western part of the world

2082
02:12:03,083 --> 02:12:07,506
to let you know that we... are testing this first

2083
02:12:07,606 --> 02:12:16,853
vaccine on humans in Africa. Risk factor zero, baby. Go

2084
02:12:17,033 --> 02:12:21,256
for it. Does anyone see how sick this is? I

2085
02:12:23,237 --> 02:12:29,822
do. Thank you. Thank you. That's right. South Africa. Beautiful.

2086
02:12:29,842 --> 02:12:33,044
106. Let me see. How many are they going to

2087
02:12:33,064 --> 02:12:35,686
do? They're going to do a shitload of them. you

2088
02:12:36,706 --> 02:12:38,027
How many are they going to kill? Do they have

2089
02:12:38,067 --> 02:12:40,469
a number yet? How many are we going to hear

2090
02:12:40,569 --> 02:12:43,111
about? I know there's a lot of Africans looking really

2091
02:12:43,191 --> 02:12:46,133
scared. Uh-oh, here comes Dr. Bill with his syringe again.

2092
02:12:46,493 --> 02:12:48,674
We know what happened last time when he was here

2093
02:12:49,255 --> 02:12:52,397
with his other friend, Bill. Biden's on top of it.

2094
02:12:52,457 --> 02:12:54,378
I do have a clip of Biden ruminating on the

2095
02:12:54,418 --> 02:12:57,520
vaccine. Oh, he's on top of it? I can't wait

2096
02:12:57,560 --> 02:13:00,663
to hear it. When, God willing, we get this vaccine,

2097
02:13:01,443 --> 02:13:07,367
how will it be destroyed? Stop. Stop. Stop now. Stop.

2098
02:13:07,627 --> 02:13:10,549
Stop this show. Let's see. How would you spell that?

2099
02:13:11,110 --> 02:13:17,674
Vaxeline. Okay. Vaxeline.com. Registered. Got it. Nailed it. Nailed it.

2100
02:13:18,095 --> 02:13:21,817
For once. I'm going to hide my contact information for

2101
02:13:21,877 --> 02:13:25,980
an additional $3. Okay. Back to the Vaxeline. When, God

2102
02:13:26,040 --> 02:13:29,783
willing, we get this vaccine, how will it be distributed?

2103
02:13:30,503 --> 02:13:33,425
Where will it go? How will it get there? I

2104
02:13:33,425 --> 02:13:36,767
guarantee that it will be able to... way that all

2105
02:13:36,787 --> 02:13:40,190
Americans can live. all Americans have equal access to it.

2106
02:13:40,830 --> 02:13:43,392
Because the same thing's going to happen. Unless God willing,

2107
02:13:43,432 --> 02:13:48,475
we get a vaccine. Maybe one, if God was great,

2108
02:13:49,316 --> 02:13:53,459
maybe even in the fall. Wait a minute. What did

2109
02:13:53,499 --> 02:13:56,220
he say? First, was he praying to God not to

2110
02:13:56,281 --> 02:13:59,803
have a vaccine? At one point he says, the only

2111
02:13:59,923 --> 02:14:02,505
thing that can save us is getting a vaccine from

2112
02:14:02,585 --> 02:14:04,366
a vaccine. I don't know what he was saying. He's

2113
02:14:04,426 --> 02:14:08,069
a maniac. Right. Oh man, you just nailed it. so

2114
02:14:08,229 --> 02:14:13,732
good if god was great he'd make vaxeline to save

2115
02:14:13,853 --> 02:14:19,516
us from the evil Ladies and gentlemen, the next president

2116
02:14:19,616 --> 02:14:25,340
of the United States of America. Does anyone else see

2117
02:14:25,420 --> 02:14:28,883
that we are a big joke? Guns and Spokes. Guns

2118
02:14:28,963 --> 02:14:31,605
and Spokes on a couple of channels. Yeah, of course.

2119
02:14:31,905 --> 02:14:34,827
Heroes and Icons, I think, is that channel. How about

2120
02:14:35,948 --> 02:14:38,669
Little House on the Prairie? Little House on the Prairie

2121
02:14:38,669 --> 02:14:40,351
is on. I have not seen it. What's that on?

2122
02:14:40,711 --> 02:14:42,232
Where can I find it? I love Little House. I

2123
02:14:42,252 --> 02:14:44,694
can't remember which. It's one of the networks. It's one

2124
02:14:44,754 --> 02:14:48,016
of these. Screwy networks. I love Little House on the

2125
02:14:48,056 --> 02:14:50,037
Prairie. I read those books. I thought that show was

2126
02:14:50,117 --> 02:14:52,439
the worst. I hated Little House on the Prairie. Of

2127
02:14:52,559 --> 02:14:54,020
course you did. And the fact that it's on now

2128
02:14:54,640 --> 02:15:00,684
makes me... it makes me mad it's so stupid no

2129
02:15:00,905 --> 02:15:06,729
it was beautiful if you No. of good books that

2130
02:15:06,789 --> 02:15:11,092
Laura Ingalls wrote. This was really a one-off that we

2131
02:15:11,092 --> 02:15:15,435
could only use for that episode, done by CZ137. It

2132
02:15:15,475 --> 02:15:20,638
was just the best. on its knees bent over with

2133
02:15:20,778 --> 02:15:25,942
a American Standard. Jammed through him from the back with

2134
02:15:25,982 --> 02:15:30,004
blood dripping off the mouthpiece. And I should mention... little

2135
02:15:30,044 --> 02:15:35,748
time in the show with our slide whistles figuring out

2136
02:15:35,768 --> 02:15:37,750
which is the best way to grip it if you

2137
02:15:37,870 --> 02:15:42,713
didn't Somebody threw it. You remembered. All right, now we're...

2138
02:15:43,674 --> 02:15:46,516
Have a really solid grip and you could swing into

2139
02:15:46,556 --> 02:15:52,360
somebody and probably impale them with a slide whistle. So

2140
02:15:52,460 --> 02:15:58,644
you're lucky yours wasn't confiscated. Ain't no rules, there ain't

2141
02:15:58,684 --> 02:16:02,367
no vow. We can even stab a cow. You and

2142
02:16:02,527 --> 02:16:06,389
I will knife them through. Cause every day we pay

2143
02:16:06,469 --> 02:16:10,792
the price with a little sacrifice. Stab until the knife

2144
02:16:10,872 --> 02:16:14,855
pokes The TSA totally should have seen this as a

2145
02:16:14,895 --> 02:16:20,759
deadly weapon since our combo. Gone on to try different

2146
02:16:21,039 --> 02:16:23,781
grips. And I think the best way is you grip

2147
02:16:23,841 --> 02:16:29,285
it with the mouthpiece. And down, put your index finger.

2148
02:16:32,207 --> 02:16:36,650
The time is now for us to be bold 42

2149
02:16:36,710 --> 02:16:41,013
verges do await You don't want to be late Marder

2150
02:16:41,033 --> 02:16:48,338
drums with more than gold See, you got a good

2151
02:16:48,618 --> 02:16:53,922
grip. So it won't slide. Slide down as you're pushing

2152
02:16:54,022 --> 02:16:59,946
it through the bone and flesh. Burnout factor. I'm always

2153
02:16:59,966 --> 02:17:02,287
sad when people are doing a lot. Like Sir Chris

2154
02:17:02,367 --> 02:17:04,849
in Australia. I love the guy. He's doing so much

2155
02:17:04,869 --> 02:17:07,751
good work. Slow down. You don't need to do a

2156
02:17:07,811 --> 02:17:10,373
show, a song for every single show. You're gonna burn

2157
02:17:10,633 --> 02:17:13,415
out. Yeah. He won't listen. I actually did some lyrics

2158
02:17:13,495 --> 02:17:16,457
for him. He won't do those either. Well, you did

2159
02:17:16,477 --> 02:17:18,999
lyrics for him. Yeah, I got a song. I got

2160
02:17:19,059 --> 02:17:20,480
a whole... Anybody who wants to do a song, I

2161
02:17:20,520 --> 02:17:23,041
got lyrics for two songs. Well, because he sent another

2162
02:17:23,122 --> 02:17:24,522
one today, so it might be your song. I don't

2163
02:17:24,522 --> 02:17:29,926
know. I got the feeling that he got my lyrics

2164
02:17:30,006 --> 02:17:33,168
and believe me, the lyrics work. And he said, you

2165
02:17:33,248 --> 02:17:35,190
know, I'd rather write my own lyrics. I'm going to

2166
02:17:35,190 --> 02:17:38,772
write somebody. I'm not your slave. I'm an artist, dammit.

2167
02:17:41,054 --> 02:17:48,539
I do my own material. Yes. Understood. Gotcha. I love

2168
02:17:48,539 --> 02:17:57,745
doing this show. It's crappy. It's a crappy. It's a

2169
02:17:57,925 --> 02:18:00,667
real. It's a crummy oil, we should mention. Yeah, don't

2170
02:18:00,767 --> 02:18:03,969
you have to mix that oil? No, it's not that

2171
02:18:04,049 --> 02:18:10,154
bad. It's pretty bad, though. It's a... heavy sour oil

2172
02:18:10,334 --> 02:18:14,477
that's a typical brent type oil that comes from under

2173
02:18:14,537 --> 02:18:18,599
the water as opposed to land-based oils like west texas

2174
02:18:18,699 --> 02:18:22,642
which is some of the finest oil yes yes black

2175
02:18:22,722 --> 02:18:28,286
gold texas tea i was looking into this by the

2176
02:18:28,306 --> 02:18:30,427
way and the best oil in the world in terms

2177
02:18:30,528 --> 02:18:36,451
of like pure like you pump it diesel fuel you

2178
02:18:36,492 --> 02:18:40,774
can put it in a truck. Where's that? Algerian Saharan

2179
02:18:40,935 --> 02:18:48,540
crude. no sulfur, almost no sulfur, and the API, which

2180
02:18:48,660 --> 02:18:54,084
is the measure of the viscosity, basically, the higher the

2181
02:18:54,164 --> 02:18:58,547
number, the better, is the highest. And it sounds like

2182
02:18:58,727 --> 02:19:01,409
it's very similar to me. It reminds me when I

2183
02:19:01,469 --> 02:19:05,531
was an air pollution inspector in refineries or my thing.

2184
02:19:06,612 --> 02:19:09,414
We had a little refinery that was shuttered some years

2185
02:19:09,514 --> 02:19:12,216
ago called the Pacific Refinery that got some sort of

2186
02:19:12,296 --> 02:19:18,540
Bolivian. that was similar. They didn't even need a desulfurization

2187
02:19:19,161 --> 02:19:24,404
facility at the refinery, which is unbelievable. A little tidbit

2188
02:19:24,424 --> 02:19:26,406
there for you oil and gas guy out there. Yes,

2189
02:19:26,546 --> 02:19:34,351
yes. This is dynamite insight. It's not it. And the

2190
02:19:34,391 --> 02:19:39,575
problem is that everybody is watching two people, Tucker Carlson

2191
02:19:40,375 --> 02:19:46,359
and Laura. And because of that, Republicans in red states

2192
02:19:46,599 --> 02:19:52,383
in the vaccination rates and they are dying and they

2193
02:19:52,443 --> 02:19:55,145
are going to die. You are all going to die.

2194
02:19:55,205 --> 02:19:59,768
This is Dick Durbin, Senator Dick Durbin, talking about this

2195
02:19:59,828 --> 02:19:59,988
very

2196
02:20:00,120 --> 02:20:04,062
issue in the Senate. There are two a host of

2197
02:20:04,162 --> 02:20:08,505
programs on Fox Primetime that can only be characterized as

2198
02:20:08,725 --> 02:20:14,389
anti-vax quacks. I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson and

2199
02:20:14,449 --> 02:20:17,511
Laura Ingraham. And I appreciate him using the official no

2200
02:20:17,591 --> 02:20:24,536
agenda pronunciation of Laura Ingraham. One thing, a quack technically

2201
02:20:24,576 --> 02:20:27,738
refers to a doctor. It's always a doctor. You're not

2202
02:20:27,738 --> 02:20:32,201
a quack. You could be a crackpot or a nutball

2203
02:20:32,322 --> 02:20:34,483
or a number of things, but you're not a quack.

2204
02:20:35,103 --> 02:20:41,228
Quack is a doctor that is a bad doctor. discussed

2205
02:20:41,788 --> 02:20:45,130
a couple months ago, back when the allopaths came in

2206
02:20:45,310 --> 02:20:48,092
and medicine was taken over by the Rockefellers and they

2207
02:20:48,112 --> 02:20:51,154
were trying to cure cancer after that, they were looking

2208
02:20:51,194 --> 02:20:54,397
to cure cancer, there were cancer cures, certainly the one

2209
02:20:54,417 --> 02:20:57,299
that is still operating in Mexico, and those were branded

2210
02:20:57,459 --> 02:21:00,281
by big pharma, I'll just put it that way, as

2211
02:21:00,461 --> 02:21:03,383
quacks. So they're just rolling out the same script. When

2212
02:21:03,383 --> 02:21:07,065
you're against big pharma, not against medicine or against a

2213
02:21:07,265 --> 02:21:10,227
certain policy, then you're a quack, you see. So it's

2214
02:21:10,327 --> 02:21:12,749
the pharma, industry who wrote this for him that's the

2215
02:21:12,789 --> 02:21:15,951
way i deconstructed that's an interpretation i just think it

2216
02:21:16,151 --> 02:21:18,233
just pointing it out that durbin's full of shit but

2217
02:21:18,433 --> 02:21:21,755
uh it's interesting that they would do this this is

2218
02:21:21,815 --> 02:21:24,917
the congress of the united states bitching about a talk

2219
02:21:25,077 --> 02:21:29,220
show host That is really low end. Wait for it.

2220
02:21:29,941 --> 02:21:33,823
I'm referring, of course, to Tucker Carlson. and Laura Ingraham.

2221
02:21:35,204 --> 02:21:39,287
They have been spreading what I consider to be irresponsible

2222
02:21:39,387 --> 02:21:43,050
information about vaccines across America and about the effort of

2223
02:21:43,110 --> 02:21:47,813
this nation to deal with them. Here's the reality. We

2224
02:21:47,873 --> 02:21:51,155
have millions who've died across the world by this vaccine.

2225
02:21:51,215 --> 02:21:54,858
We may never have an accurate... There's just nothing like

2226
02:21:54,938 --> 02:21:57,319
it. This is the best one I've ever gotten. Did

2227
02:21:57,360 --> 02:22:00,141
you hear it? No, say it again. Oh, the switcheroo.

2228
02:22:00,141 --> 02:22:05,765
There's a switcheroo. Here's the reality. We have millions who've

2229
02:22:05,805 --> 02:22:08,867
died across the world by this vaccine. We may never

2230
02:22:08,887 --> 02:22:13,290
have an accurate count. That is the top of the

2231
02:22:13,350 --> 02:22:16,653
list. That is number uno. You can't get any better.

2232
02:22:16,853 --> 02:22:19,354
Truth wants to come out. This is no longer a

2233
02:22:19,395 --> 02:22:23,117
coincidence that this happens. He's reading a piece of paper.

2234
02:22:24,458 --> 02:22:26,539
We have hundreds of thousands who have died in the

2235
02:22:26,579 --> 02:22:30,302
United States. And now it is said repeatedly that those

2236
02:22:30,402 --> 02:22:32,824
who are headed to the hospital with the most serious

2237
02:22:33,264 --> 02:22:40,429
strains of COVID-19, 99.5% of them were not vaccinated. So

2238
02:22:41,690 --> 02:22:44,452
The facts are obvious here. We don't know this. Where's

2239
02:22:44,472 --> 02:22:46,953
that number come from? No, that's the talking point number.

2240
02:22:47,133 --> 02:22:50,316
And as witness... Can I stop you for a second

2241
02:22:50,376 --> 02:22:53,858
and bring up the talking point number? No, no, you

2242
02:22:53,918 --> 02:22:56,300
can't bring up the talking point because then they shut

2243
02:22:56,340 --> 02:23:00,002
you down immediately. No talking points for you. Oh my

2244
02:23:00,062 --> 02:23:03,745
god. That was crazy So, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Stop,

2245
02:23:03,745 --> 02:23:07,747
John. Stop, stop, stop. The minute you said, I'm bringing

2246
02:23:07,808 --> 02:23:10,750
up the talking point, right away you cut off. And

2247
02:23:10,790 --> 02:23:12,631
I'm leaving that in the show this time because I'm

2248
02:23:12,731 --> 02:23:14,872
sick of those guys doing it to us. Could you

2249
02:23:14,912 --> 02:23:17,294
pick it up from the talking point? The talking point

2250
02:23:17,334 --> 02:23:21,177
stems from Fauci, who when asked about the deaths he

2251
02:23:21,317 --> 02:23:23,618
did around about, he did some screwy thing where he

2252
02:23:23,678 --> 02:23:28,522
says 99.5% of all people who died of COVID were

2253
02:23:28,662 --> 02:23:36,067
unvaccinated. referring to the total number of people, the 500,000,

2254
02:23:36,107 --> 02:23:39,149
because recently not too many people have died, vaccinated or

2255
02:23:39,249 --> 02:23:42,491
unvaccinated. It's just a fact. Oh, you mean since the

2256
02:23:42,511 --> 02:23:47,154
beginning of the pandemic, that many people have died unvaccinated

2257
02:23:47,154 --> 02:23:50,336
because there was no vaccine? Yeah. He's counting that as

2258
02:23:50,517 --> 02:23:54,039
part of it? That was the whole scam. It was

2259
02:23:54,119 --> 02:23:57,481
a scam comment. And now Dick Durbin's bringing that number

2260
02:23:57,581 --> 02:24:04,066
in as though today. Oh. I've rethought my position. Oh.

2261
02:24:04,746 --> 02:24:11,711
On Mike Johnson. And I have two clips. Now, what

2262
02:24:11,831 --> 02:24:16,274
was your original position? That the CIA or somebody came

2263
02:24:16,394 --> 02:24:18,516
up to him and said, hey, look at this picture.

2264
02:24:18,536 --> 02:24:25,040
Yeah. What's that in your mouth, you think? Oh, John,

2265
02:24:25,260 --> 02:24:27,582
stop now. This is a family show. It's just a

2266
02:24:27,642 --> 02:24:33,346
family show. It could be eating succotash. Succotash, sure. Dig

2267
02:24:33,426 --> 02:24:37,429
the hole deeper. And now, ladies and gentlemen, first time

2268
02:24:37,489 --> 02:24:42,272

2272
02:24:57,862 --> 02:25:01,505
anything but that that's all we got okay so i'm

2273
02:25:01,585 --> 02:25:04,487
recommending a product all right that people will get a

2274
02:25:04,547 --> 02:25:06,909
kick out of it's an ai product which kind of

2275
02:25:07,489 --> 02:25:09,090
you know you will hate so you don't even shouldn't

2276
02:25:09,110 --> 02:25:12,252
even look at it but it's called 11 it's 11

2277
02:25:12,332 --> 02:25:16,896
labs.io is the URL and they just introduced the sound

2278
02:25:16,996 --> 02:25:21,979
effects section. And this thing has got, what makes it

2279
02:25:22,139 --> 02:25:28,163
fun, this 11 Labs, is the number of hallucinations that

2280
02:25:28,243 --> 02:25:32,046
it creates. Oh, and do you have any examples? I

2281
02:25:32,146 --> 02:25:34,728
do, but first I'm going to play a series of

2282
02:25:34,848 --> 02:25:39,351
douchebag clips. All from the same prompt. This is 11

2283
02:25:39,451 --> 02:25:45,535
Labs. I owe douchebags. Okay, here we go. Yeah, if

2284
02:25:45,575 --> 02:25:51,559
you're a douchebag. Yeah, if you're a douchebag. I don't

2285
02:25:51,659 --> 02:26:00,285
think so! YOU! JUICE BAG! you We finally found a

2286
02:26:00,405 --> 02:26:04,228
use for AI. That's fantastic. So now I want to

2287
02:26:04,308 --> 02:26:09,151
play the non-hallucination clip, which is she says exactly what

2288
02:26:09,211 --> 02:26:10,772
I put in as the prompt, then I'm going to

2289
02:26:10,812 --> 02:26:18,377
play the hallucination. This is non-hallucination clip. No, no, no,

2290
02:26:18,417 --> 02:26:20,599
you're playing the wrong clip. It says non-halluc... The clip

2291
02:26:20,699 --> 02:26:26,183
is titled Non-Hallucination. Sorry. Here we go. End of show,

2292
02:26:26,303 --> 02:26:33,448
you douchebag. Now I don't know what to choose. There's

2293
02:26:33,488 --> 02:26:37,871
only one left. And so, end of show, you douchebag,

2294
02:26:38,071 --> 02:26:40,092
which is in a sexy voice, which I didn't ask

2295
02:26:40,212 --> 02:26:43,254
for. I asked for a person saying, end of show,

2296
02:26:43,495 --> 02:26:46,697
you douchebag. And you also have to put it in

2297
02:26:46,817 --> 02:26:50,920
phonetically because they can't pronounce the actual spelling, douchebag. Oh,

2298
02:26:51,020 --> 02:26:55,623
really? Really? Yeah, really. What kind of AI is that?

2299
02:26:56,143 --> 02:27:00,066
Now you tell me. But it hallucinates so much. Now,

2300
02:27:00,146 --> 02:27:03,148
you just heard that clip. End of show- what is

2301
02:27:03,148 --> 02:27:08,712
it? End of show you douchebag. Here's the hallucination version.

2302
02:27:18,999 --> 02:27:25,283
How did that even come about? I don't understand. I

2303
02:27:25,523 --> 02:27:29,306
could have played, actually the hallucinations are funnier than any

2304
02:27:29,346 --> 02:27:32,468
of the clips, but it's like some of them are

2305
02:27:32,528 --> 02:27:35,430
just so, and there's music, there's a music bed on

2306
02:27:35,470 --> 02:27:39,152
a lot of them. I had one of them, I

2307
02:27:39,212 --> 02:27:43,515
didn't clip it, but I said, it's almost the same

2308
02:27:43,615 --> 02:27:46,798
clip with your douche bag, but it started playing, Papa's

2309
02:27:46,838 --> 02:27:51,521
got a brand new bag riff at the end, this

2310
02:27:51,621 --> 02:27:54,923
music thing. It's unbelievable, but this is a fun product.

2311
02:27:55,083 --> 02:27:57,185
for people to play with. And again, the name of

2312
02:27:57,205 --> 02:27:59,426
the product and the domain where we can find this

2313
02:27:59,606 --> 02:28:03,969
fine product is your tip of the day. 11labs.io. All

2314
02:28:04,029 --> 02:28:07,272
right, everybody. And they've just recently introduced the sound effects.

2315
02:28:07,292 --> 02:28:11,615
So you can do sound effects. All right. Another tip

2316
02:28:11,715 --> 02:28:19,020
from John C. Dvorak. It was just... *sad music* *sad

2317
02:28:19,040 --> 02:28:34,040
music* Believe me. I'm sorry. You are so right. You

2318
02:28:38,313 --> 02:28:43,596
making note on it? Noted. Noted. Noted. Yo Dirty Saudi

2319
02:28:43,676 --> 02:28:53,823
Arabian Ziyad money. Get some Saudi gold. What he says

2320
02:28:53,863 --> 02:29:02,589
he could say. You can mail the... NAMI for the

2321
02:29:02,669 --> 02:29:17,669
treasure. No! No, well, it's not even a color thing,

2322
02:29:32,290 --> 02:29:38,854
I don't think. Donate! You do the accounting, we don't

2323
02:29:38,954 --> 02:29:47,240
do it. You know, I did a column in PC

2324
02:29:47,440 --> 02:29:51,623
Magazine sometime in the 90s, I recall, because I was

2325
02:29:51,663 --> 02:29:55,886
kind of annoyed by the word nerd. Okay. And no

2326
02:29:56,006 --> 02:29:59,008
one had ever done an entomology of the word. And,

2327
02:29:59,388 --> 02:29:59,988
I mean, they did.

2328
02:30:44,870 --> 02:30:48,733
little bitty nerdy looking guy so it made nothing but

2329
02:30:48,793 --> 02:30:50,714
sense to me that this was what the etymology so

2330
02:30:50,794 --> 02:30:52,475
it's a it's a made up word made up by

2331
02:30:52,575 --> 02:30:55,497
dr seuss yeah cool yeah so it's made up by

2332
02:30:55,597 --> 02:30:58,840
dr seuss as a nerd and so i and so

2333
02:30:58,920 --> 02:31:02,942
i confirmed it with seuss and and his assistant and

2334
02:31:03,183 --> 02:31:05,204
geis is his name uh i can't remember his first

2335
02:31:05,264 --> 02:31:08,386
name the writer and he was a pretty old then

2336
02:31:08,526 --> 02:31:11,929
but he he knew he made it up and he

2337
02:31:12,309 --> 02:31:14,170
didn't realize that it was the you know it was

2338
02:31:14,230 --> 02:31:16,872
the formation the word nerd. I wrote all this history

2339
02:31:17,032 --> 02:31:20,855
out. And so then, so I thought it was kind

2340
02:31:20,915 --> 02:31:22,736
of cool that I developed, you know, found out the

2341
02:31:22,916 --> 02:31:25,238
origins of this word. And so then I went, and

2342
02:31:25,538 --> 02:31:27,639
then kind of the kicker to the story is I

2343
02:31:27,799 --> 02:31:32,162
went to the Universal Studios Park in Orlando and they

2344
02:31:32,242 --> 02:31:37,466
had an If I Ran the Zoo exhibit. The nerd

2345
02:31:37,566 --> 02:31:40,668
was not in it. Ah, and so you complained bitterly,

2346
02:31:40,748 --> 02:31:43,770
no doubt. I've always wondered when, you know, when we

2347
02:31:43,850 --> 02:31:46,452
go out to dinner, all these these classy restaurants. I

2348
02:31:46,872 --> 02:31:50,335
was just wondering, together, do we look like you're my

2349
02:31:50,455 --> 02:31:54,438
gay sugar daddy? You know, I don't think so. You

2350
02:31:54,518 --> 02:31:57,680
sure? Yeah, I'm pretty sure, because you can tell. I

2351
02:31:57,760 --> 02:31:59,801
mean, for one thing, I don't think we give off

2352
02:31:59,881 --> 02:32:06,266
any gay vibe. And the other thing is I don't

2353
02:32:06,286 --> 02:32:08,007
think anyone in San Francisco notices one way or the

2354
02:32:08,047 --> 02:32:14,191
other or cares. Because there's a lot of gay couples.

2355
02:32:15,292 --> 02:32:17,253
I don't look like, well, since you're picking up the

2356
02:32:17,313 --> 02:32:22,977
tab, you know, it kind of proves I'm not. But

2357
02:32:23,017 --> 02:32:25,579
you're refining me in life. You're showing me which wine

2358
02:32:25,659 --> 02:32:30,062
to drink. And so I can culture myself, cultivate myself.

2359
02:32:31,062 --> 02:32:32,784
Yeah, but I never really do that. We just buy

2360
02:32:32,904 --> 02:32:38,507
the wine and drink it. you ever explain anything. I'm

2361
02:32:39,208 --> 02:32:42,570
just wondering. You're explaining all the time. We're always talking.

2362
02:32:42,610 --> 02:32:47,514
No, it's mostly I'm just giving you the ridiculous anecdotal

2363
02:32:47,594 --> 02:32:50,015
material about this wine and the winery and where it

2364
02:32:50,075 --> 02:32:53,198
came from. I don't really describe. But that's different than

2365
02:32:53,358 --> 02:32:54,959
what you would do if you were trying to get

2366
02:32:54,979 --> 02:32:58,441
somebody up to speed on their palate. Yeah, but from

2367
02:32:58,461 --> 02:33:01,743
a distance. And then we're always talking about our gadgets.

2368
02:33:02,144 --> 02:33:03,765
I think there's a lot of gayness to us, John.

2369
02:33:03,825 --> 02:33:07,788
I'm sorry. As an outsider, I think we would actually

2370
02:33:07,827 --> 02:33:10,369
register on gaydar. At least we're in the right neighborhood

2371
02:33:10,449 --> 02:33:14,452
for it. Yeah, true. Another thing that's kind of interesting,

2372
02:33:14,592 --> 02:33:16,593
if you can ever find a... We did make a

2373
02:33:16,694 --> 02:33:22,978
clip of Eliza, the comedian, and her comment about it's

2374
02:33:23,018 --> 02:33:25,680
okay to be harassed if the guy's good looking. Eliza

2375
02:33:25,740 --> 02:33:30,323
Schlesinger. Eliza? Eliza, yeah. Eliza is something like it. I

2376
02:33:30,323 --> 02:33:33,825
can't remember her first name. But there was an... where

2377
02:33:33,825 --> 02:33:38,769
we have on the San Francisco... on his football team

2378
02:33:38,849 --> 02:33:43,312
who is a he's like a Clooney-esque good-looking guy tall

2379
02:33:43,432 --> 02:33:47,815
dark and handsome big smile a womanizing type and he

2380
02:33:48,715 --> 02:33:51,938
says to one of the sideline reporters he calls her

2381
02:33:52,038 --> 02:33:57,381
baby and she's just like turns red and she's all

2382
02:33:57,561 --> 02:34:00,784
flustered by it and tweeters are going crazy about this

2383
02:34:00,964 --> 02:34:04,706
but of course nobody calls him out for sexual harassment

2384
02:34:05,227 --> 02:34:08,789
who did this who said this this was Garoppolo, the

2385
02:34:08,989 --> 02:34:12,131
quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, who is by all

2386
02:34:12,211 --> 02:34:17,335
definitions is a good looking tall. handsome quarterback for the

2387
02:34:17,355 --> 02:34:20,597
football team, a football guy, and he would have been

2388
02:34:20,637 --> 02:34:23,379
called out under any other circumstances except for the fact

2389
02:34:23,399 --> 02:34:26,381
that he's good looking and it brings back the old

2390
02:34:26,721 --> 02:34:30,404
Liza Schlesinger bit where, you know, it's okay to be

2391
02:34:30,504 --> 02:34:34,887
sexually harassed if the guy's attractive. Every time it happens,

2392
02:34:34,967 --> 02:34:37,148
it always irks me. I wish I could find that.

2393
02:34:37,328 --> 02:34:39,650
I know you had it, but you either have her

2394
02:34:39,710 --> 02:34:44,053
name wrong or you spelled it wrong. I probably would

2395
02:34:44,053 --> 02:34:47,856
have put L-I-Z-A. Yeah, but you know what I get?

2396
02:34:47,876 --> 02:34:52,839
A million clips with Elizabeth Warren. Oh, maybe it's Eliza.

2397
02:34:53,740 --> 02:34:59,384
Yeah, which doesn't help. Same thing, yeah, Elizabeth Warren. Doesn't

2398
02:34:59,444 --> 02:35:08,170
help much. Uh... is the worst. I'm sorry. Yeah, this

2399
02:35:08,270 --> 02:35:12,152
is it. Let me rephrase that. Being sexually harassed by

2400
02:35:12,232 --> 02:35:21,298
an ugly guy is the worst. There you go. If

2401
02:35:21,359 --> 02:35:25,742
he's hot, it's just plain old flow. No one's ever

2402
02:35:25,742 --> 02:35:27,823
been like, "Get away from me, you model." Like, that's

2403
02:35:27,863 --> 02:35:33,767
fine. I love... That's one of her best. It's so

2404
02:35:33,927 --> 02:35:37,550
true. There's lots of money I can make in sex,

2405
02:35:38,150 --> 02:35:40,792
sex business. I mean, that's easy. I just, I'm not

2406
02:35:40,832 --> 02:35:42,913
interested in being in that business. What do you mean?

2407
02:35:44,795 --> 02:35:46,275
Oh, I see what you mean. You mean being a

2408
02:35:46,376 --> 02:35:51,119
pimp. Would you know that the best online porn guys,

2409
02:35:52,159 --> 02:35:57,943
it's all in Amsterdam. Yeah. In fact, I ran it

2410
02:35:58,164 --> 02:36:01,926
years and years ago. I went through Holland. I was

2411
02:36:02,046 --> 02:36:07,130
at some event. It was an early Boardwatch magazine thing.

2412
02:36:07,150 --> 02:36:08,931
It was in Germany. And I ran into a bunch

2413
02:36:08,971 --> 02:36:10,052
of these guys. And they said, well, you want to

2414
02:36:10,072 --> 02:36:13,834
just take a run over to... and we'll go through

2415
02:36:13,874 --> 02:36:16,256
Belgium and we'll taste some beer and whatever. And we

2416
02:36:16,416 --> 02:36:18,097
got in the car and went over there and we

2417
02:36:18,317 --> 02:36:20,219
stopped and visited a friend of a friend and he

2418
02:36:20,319 --> 02:36:23,421
ran, and this was like in the early 90s, in

2419
02:36:23,461 --> 02:36:26,163
the early 90s before the net was even going, it

2420
02:36:26,203 --> 02:36:29,265
was the old bulletin board scene. And he had this

2421
02:36:29,265 --> 02:36:34,729
nice little... A sex farm with, that's what we call

2422
02:36:34,769 --> 02:36:36,310
them, with like little rooms. And then in the back,

2423
02:36:36,550 --> 02:36:38,291
he said in the back room he had a bunch

2424
02:36:38,351 --> 02:36:41,653
of servers and they were cranking out porn like there

2425
02:36:41,673 --> 02:36:48,118
was no tomorrow. Yeah. And it's socially acceptable to set

2426
02:36:48,178 --> 02:36:51,020
up a business like that. Yeah, and he was cranking

2427
02:36:51,040 --> 02:36:54,982
away. Oh, that's interesting. He was nonchalant about the whole

2428
02:36:55,042 --> 02:36:59,746
thing. And now, ladies and gentlemen, You know what it's

2429
02:36:59,806 --> 02:37:13,835
time for! And sometimes Adam. Hey, man. That's a jingle.

2430
02:37:15,256 --> 02:37:19,019
That's a jingle right there. Thank you, Shwoo. All right,

2431
02:37:19,039 --> 02:37:22,021
what's your tip? I thought you had the tip. No,

2432
02:37:22,101 --> 02:37:24,603
we're going to do a tip-off. You do the tip.

2433
02:37:25,363 --> 02:37:27,905
Then I do a tip. Don't you remember? Okay, I

2434
02:37:28,005 --> 02:37:31,827
got a tip. All right, what's your tip? So this

2435
02:37:31,928 --> 02:37:34,529
is a tip for people who have the habit of

2436
02:37:34,629 --> 02:37:41,554
drinking soda or water or whatever. doshing it with a

2437
02:37:41,634 --> 02:37:47,518
bunch of apple cider vinegar. health benefits, gut health, so

2438
02:37:47,558 --> 02:37:50,420
you don't have a leaky gut, gut health, or losing

2439
02:37:50,540 --> 02:38:01,288
weight. amazon.com and get the Hengstenberg 13 fine herbs flavored

2440
02:38:01,608 --> 02:38:07,512
German vinegar seasoning instead and use that instead of apple

2441
02:38:07,552 --> 02:38:11,675
cider delicious in a in like I'm using it now

2442
02:38:11,715 --> 02:38:14,216
in the Topo Chico you dump a bunch of it

2443
02:38:14,216 --> 02:38:16,758
in like a tablespoon of the vinegar into the water

2444
02:38:16,778 --> 02:38:22,422
and you got something that's refreshing and delicious it's Hengstenberg

2445
02:38:22,482 --> 02:38:25,424
you can look it up by putting herb flavored vinegar

2446
02:38:25,444 --> 02:38:27,085
and you'll find it's a bunch of people that make

2447
02:38:27,145 --> 02:38:31,788
these things all right I have three tips actually for

2448
02:38:31,848 --> 02:38:36,111
my tip tip one three yes tip one Never ever

2449
02:38:36,271 --> 02:38:39,894
ask your wife to help you with the tip. She

2450
02:38:39,974 --> 02:38:41,675
was very mad. She said, you should do your own

2451
02:38:41,735 --> 02:38:49,140
tip. Sending email to me, marked important, puts you to

2452
02:38:49,200 --> 02:38:53,823
the bottom of the list. Do you see this? People

2453
02:38:53,843 --> 02:38:57,486
who send email and then go through the... Trouble of

2454
02:38:57,666 --> 02:39:01,048
marking it important and then even asking for a return

2455
02:39:01,168 --> 02:39:06,412
receipt. Bottom of the list. I haven't had that probably

2456
02:39:06,472 --> 02:39:09,154
for 10 years. Oh, it happens every day. And my

2457
02:39:09,294 --> 02:39:11,676
email program. That's because you never answer your email. I'm

2458
02:39:11,776 --> 02:39:17,019
very. You don't even answer my email. What are you

2459
02:39:17,079 --> 02:39:20,602
talking about? No, because on Thunderbird, which I've been using

2460
02:39:20,802 --> 02:39:25,885
to great success. Thunderbird! Actually, it shows up as red.

2461
02:39:25,925 --> 02:39:28,607
And it's very annoying. So I just delete it right

2462
02:39:28,627 --> 02:39:32,850
now. Oh, I see. Okay, well, that's no good. Finally,

2463
02:39:32,970 --> 02:39:37,133
if you are a fan of making coffee with ground

2464
02:39:37,233 --> 02:39:39,935
coffee, so in a filter or the way I do

2465
02:39:40,055 --> 02:39:45,639

2466
02:39:45,839 --> 02:39:55,205
salt. it not only reduces bitterness, but it also brings

2467
02:39:55,285 --> 02:39:59,028
prosperity to your family. Hmm?

2468
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:01,160
♪ Always quick with his replies ♪ He'd cut through

2469
02:40:01,160 --> 02:40:08,105
Yeah, them some dangerously good tips. John C. Dvorak with

2470
02:40:08,165 --> 02:40:12,148
the tip of the day. He's going to tell us

2471
02:40:12,288 --> 02:40:18,312
what he would do in every possible way. Now, this

2472
02:40:18,412 --> 02:40:23,155
is all alleged. Got it. Microsoft had an account. They

2473
02:40:23,215 --> 02:40:26,538
were big with hookers in the early days. Woo! To

2474
02:40:26,618 --> 02:40:29,900
the point where they had an account with some, and

2475
02:40:29,920 --> 02:40:32,101
this is in the era, where there was a lot

2476
02:40:32,161 --> 02:40:38,726
of hookers. And they had an account at, uh... I

2477
02:40:38,726 --> 02:40:41,448
would say what this era was is probably, I'm trying

2478
02:40:41,468 --> 02:40:43,469
to put the years on it. I'm gonna say it's

2479
02:40:43,529 --> 02:40:49,533
probably... early 80s. Bush presidency. When they were still in

2480
02:40:49,633 --> 02:40:51,555
Bellevue is all I can say, for sure. All right.

2481
02:40:52,335 --> 02:40:56,078
And they had just an open account, and this is

2482
02:40:56,158 --> 02:40:59,100
when Microsoft, everyone had their own private offices. Everybody had

2483
02:40:59,140 --> 02:41:01,601
a private office at Microsoft. So when you visited the

2484
02:41:01,641 --> 02:41:04,744
campus in the early days, it was nobody. It wasn't

2485
02:41:04,804 --> 02:41:07,486
one of these open-air things where everyone felt like a

2486
02:41:07,546 --> 02:41:09,907
drone. It was everyone had every code, everyone who works

2487
02:41:09,927 --> 02:41:11,368
there, wherever you did, you had a private office. You

2488
02:41:11,368 --> 02:41:13,810
could close the door and lock it. And you could

2489
02:41:13,850 --> 02:41:15,371
have a bed in there if you wanted to, if

2490
02:41:15,411 --> 02:41:16,872
you wanted to spend the night, because a lot of,

2491
02:41:17,232 --> 02:41:20,054
Coders like to do that, to just stay there. And

2492
02:41:20,094 --> 02:41:25,157
that was very common in the early days. So they

2493
02:41:25,178 --> 02:41:30,221
had an open account with a whorehouse, and they would

2494
02:41:30,221 --> 02:41:32,242
just go on to the bill. I don't know what

2495
02:41:32,282 --> 02:41:34,264
the petty cash. I have no idea how they wrote

2496
02:41:34,304 --> 02:41:37,866
this off. But any coder that was lonely could get

2497
02:41:37,926 --> 02:41:41,749
some girl to come over to keep them at the

2498
02:41:41,809 --> 02:41:46,912
place coding. Wow. What a great place to work. Yeah,

2499
02:41:47,132 --> 02:41:48,894
but it had to be dynamite. That's why you could

2500
02:41:48,914 --> 02:41:52,096
take a cut and pay to work there. There are

2501
02:41:52,216 --> 02:41:54,157
benefits that are a little more than the free lunch.

2502
02:41:54,377 --> 02:42:02,023
Google. for getting this far. Yes, you too. My good

2503
02:42:02,043 --> 02:42:06,526
sir. Thanks. Not bad at all. I think we've had

2504
02:42:06,606 --> 02:42:08,547
a good run. We've had a good run, John. We

2505
02:42:08,547 --> 02:42:12,670
should just quit while we're ahead. What would I be

2506
02:42:12,770 --> 02:42:19,194
doing if I had actually quit? If the podcast makes

2507
02:42:19,795 --> 02:42:34,795
a fan- *sad music* Still We're kind of to take

2508
02:44:27,302 --> 02:44:36,268

2509
02:44:36,368 --> 02:44:38,709

2510
02:44:38,750 --> 02:44:41,932
what Roswell was all about. And there was contact and

2511
02:44:42,012 --> 02:44:45,614
the governments of the world. We shot him. Shot the

2512
02:44:45,654 --> 02:44:48,516
fucker down. The governments of the world have been in

2513
02:44:48,596 --> 02:44:52,239
contact and they have a deal. They gave us technology.

2514
02:44:52,299 --> 02:44:54,080
We give them babies to eat and blood to drink.

2515
02:44:54,140 --> 02:44:56,782
I mean, come on, you've read these theories. Strawberry ice

2516
02:44:56,862 --> 02:45:00,064
cream is one of the things they like. Really? I

2517
02:45:00,084 --> 02:45:02,346

2536
02:47:40,774 --> 02:47:45,157
this together. It was amazing. I tried to get as

2537
02:47:45,337 --> 02:47:49,079
many people credited in the show notes for today. Not

2538
02:47:49,159 --> 02:47:53,082
everybody did or was able to create an account on

2539
02:47:53,222 --> 02:47:57,225
podher.com. So unfortunately, I couldn't get everybody in there. And

2540
02:47:57,265 --> 02:48:00,467
a special thanks to Dame Jennifer. We had at least

2541
02:48:00,547 --> 02:48:04,330
19 animated No Agenda pieces in there. And it was

2542
02:48:04,490 --> 02:48:08,653
really, really so wonderful just to listen to all of

2543
02:48:08,693 --> 02:48:13,096
that. No agenda does not end. I just want to

2544
02:48:13,156 --> 02:48:16,258
say that up front. What we are going to do

2545
02:48:16,538 --> 02:48:20,481
is we're going to take two weeks off. I'm tired.

2546
02:48:20,721 --> 02:48:23,543
Mimi's tired. Everybody's tired. There's a lot to do. We

2547
02:48:23,623 --> 02:48:27,045
have a funeral and memorial service coming up on August

2548
02:48:27,165 --> 02:48:31,428
8th in Oakland, San Francisco. But in that time, the

2549
02:48:31,508 --> 02:48:35,451
show will continue, and we have found Darren O'Neill and

2550
02:48:35,511 --> 02:48:39,714
Larry Blytner more than willing to take over the show

2551
02:48:39,954 --> 02:48:45,318
for two weeks. To get back to some media deconstruction,

2552
02:48:45,438 --> 02:48:49,280
of course, they will continue to honor John in those

2553
02:48:49,360 --> 02:48:53,643
two weeks. And I will return on the Thursday after

2554
02:48:53,703 --> 02:48:57,386
those two weeks. But things will change. We will probably

2555
02:48:57,466 --> 02:49:00,728
experiment with some different voices. We know that No Agenda

2556
02:49:00,868 --> 02:49:04,451
is just bigger than John and I ever set it

2557
02:49:04,551 --> 02:49:08,353
out to be. And No Agenda Nation is an incredibly

2558
02:49:08,433 --> 02:49:12,876
important community, a global community to me and to everybody.

2559
02:49:13,036 --> 02:49:17,840
else. So nothing is going to stop. We will continue

2560
02:49:18,580 --> 02:49:22,403
in those two weeks. I will continue with Podcasting 2.0

2561
02:49:22,503 --> 02:49:25,185
when we get to do this with Pastor Jimmy as

2562
02:49:25,285 --> 02:49:30,368
part of my own. processing of everything and I look

2563
02:49:30,448 --> 02:49:33,871
forward to look forward to see how the community picks

2564
02:49:33,891 --> 02:49:36,833
this up remember you are producers you're not listeners you

2565
02:49:36,913 --> 02:49:39,114
are just as much a part of this show as

2566
02:49:39,234 --> 02:49:43,557
John and I were Listening to the past two hours

2567
02:49:43,617 --> 02:49:48,000
and 43 minutes, there was a couple of surprising things

2568
02:49:48,080 --> 02:49:51,743
to me. The first one is that the number one

2569
02:49:51,803 --> 02:49:55,385
most favorite ISO was game set match the alien people

2570
02:49:55,465 --> 02:49:59,168
win. I can't even remember how long ago that one

2571
02:49:59,228 --> 02:49:59,648
came up.

2572
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:00,000
- Yeah, we need a little bit more, okay. -

2573
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:00,800
- Yeah, come on, computer boy, make it work. There

2574
02:50:00,800 --> 02:50:04,563
But the most important thing that I learned. is that

2575
02:50:04,663 --> 02:50:08,465
Dana Brunetti is a fraud. What a typical Hollywood guy

2576
02:50:08,605 --> 02:50:13,809
taking credit for someone else's creation. I'm like, what are

2577
02:50:13,849 --> 02:50:16,671
you doing, Brunetti? He didn't create anything. If anything, it

2578
02:50:16,691 --> 02:50:19,052
was Eli the coffee guy, and this thing was going

2579
02:50:19,153 --> 02:50:24,476
on from episode 200. Wait, let me clarify that. We

2580
02:50:24,556 --> 02:50:28,059
were doing the happy news stories and everybody was like,

2581
02:50:28,079 --> 02:50:32,041
oh, brother, let's stop those. And that's when Brunetti told

2582
02:50:32,101 --> 02:50:34,003
John, you need to do the tip of the day,

2583
02:50:34,643 --> 02:50:37,705
calling it back. So it wasn't he came up with

2584
02:50:37,725 --> 02:50:40,707
the idea. He was just urging us to stop doing

2585
02:50:40,727 --> 02:50:43,949
the happy news story. But somehow he forced us to

2586
02:50:44,049 --> 02:50:48,593
create a created by Dana Brunetti credit in the closing

2587
02:50:48,633 --> 02:50:55,317
jingle. because he's magic. JC, are you there? I'm not

2588
02:50:55,377 --> 02:50:58,339
sure that your microphone is connected. Just want to make

2589
02:50:58,379 --> 02:51:00,641
sure that you're there. I'm here. I'm here. Yeah. Are

2590
02:51:00,701 --> 02:51:02,242
you on the right mic? It looks like you're on

2591
02:51:02,282 --> 02:51:04,884
your browser setting. Make sure you're on that snowball or

2592
02:51:04,904 --> 02:51:07,686
that blue thing, whatever you're on. And then we've got

2593
02:51:07,726 --> 02:51:12,969
Brennan here. Hello, Brennan. Hello, Adam. Yes. Yeah. Killer show.

2594
02:51:13,470 --> 02:51:15,211
Really great. Well, I had nothing to do with it.

2595
02:51:15,291 --> 02:51:18,713
I just put it all together. And believe me, there's

2596
02:51:18,773 --> 02:51:21,555
more people are sending more and more clips. I love

2597
02:51:21,635 --> 02:51:24,997
that Sir Chris Wilson just resurrected like a phoenix from

2598
02:51:25,057 --> 02:51:29,320
the ashes. He's been texting me. He's, you know, just

2599
02:51:29,380 --> 02:51:32,142
felt so right to have some of his his his

2600
02:51:32,262 --> 02:51:35,685
end of show mixes in there. But the wealth of

2601
02:51:35,725 --> 02:51:38,907
material as I was going through putting this together, I

2602
02:51:38,987 --> 02:51:43,850
mean, it is. you It is unbelievable the things that

2603
02:51:43,890 --> 02:51:46,692
we went through with As No Agenda Nation together. I

2604
02:51:46,752 --> 02:51:50,675
mean, the COVID clips were blowing my mind. Just the

2605
02:51:50,755 --> 02:51:53,617
stuff that we were seeing and talking about in the

2606
02:51:53,657 --> 02:51:58,880
middle of deplatforming everywhere. I mean, wow, we really, we

2607
02:51:59,021 --> 02:52:03,344
kept each other alive. It was just so wonderful. Yes.

2608
02:52:03,764 --> 02:52:06,486
All of these things. All of us. A lot of

2609
02:52:06,546 --> 02:52:12,390
years, Adam. It was a lot of shows. Yeah. I

2610
02:52:12,470 --> 02:52:17,293
think I calculated it's over 5,000 hours of content that

2611
02:52:17,433 --> 02:52:21,716
we produced. Wow. Okay. That's a lot of hours. I

2612
02:52:21,776 --> 02:52:23,998
don't even know how many years that is. - Clip

2613
02:52:24,078 --> 02:52:29,641
shows forever. - Content from home. - Hold on a

2614
02:52:29,742 --> 02:52:32,403
second, JC. - Let's turn up him. - I wanna

2615
02:52:32,463 --> 02:52:36,006
make sure that, give me some signal, JC. - Hello.

2616
02:52:38,748 --> 02:52:40,169
All right, let me see what else I can do.

2617
02:52:44,071 --> 02:52:51,637
you go. I'll get better. So not even... 30 minutes

2618
02:52:51,717 --> 02:52:58,321
before the plug dropped out of the plug, connected, completely

2619
02:52:58,401 --> 02:53:00,963
shut down my whole system. Oh, of course. Completely making

2620
02:53:01,003 --> 02:53:05,426
me freak out. So thanks, John. I was literally, I

2621
02:53:05,486 --> 02:53:09,409
was, because, you know, I was playing this on VLC

2622
02:53:09,669 --> 02:53:11,370
because I wanted to make sure it wasn't too over

2623
02:53:11,410 --> 02:53:14,192
compressed because some of the sound is already a little

2624
02:53:14,332 --> 02:53:17,694
tricky in some of those older episodes. I was literally

2625
02:53:17,794 --> 02:53:20,536
keeping my hands away from the mouse, away from the

2626
02:53:20,576 --> 02:53:23,939
keyboard. Like, I don't want anything to stop in the

2627
02:53:23,939 --> 02:53:25,760
middle of this. I want to just keep on going

2628
02:53:25,820 --> 02:53:28,462
and praise God it did. I was not letting him

2629
02:53:28,542 --> 02:53:30,043
do any of that. And I think he was probably

2630
02:53:30,103 --> 02:53:31,604
like, no, I'm not going to mess with this. This

2631
02:53:31,684 --> 02:53:34,906
is too good. And I just love that the producers

2632
02:53:34,966 --> 02:53:38,228
put it together. That was really, really, really nice. I

2633
02:53:38,268 --> 02:53:40,990
think we got it. But it was crazy. So many

2634
02:53:41,090 --> 02:53:43,772
people came in with game set match. The alien people

2635
02:53:43,852 --> 02:53:47,434
win. I was like, wow. I had no idea that

2636
02:53:47,475 --> 02:53:51,617
that was such a thing. No idea. So, JC, can

2637
02:53:51,717 --> 02:53:54,019
we hear you yet? I don't know. Can you hear

2638
02:53:54,019 --> 02:53:57,241
me? Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yay! Oh, easy, easy to

2639
02:53:57,241 --> 02:53:59,923
meet me. I just show my support by donating to

2640
02:54:00,163 --> 02:54:02,825
No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do this.

2641
02:54:02,925 --> 02:54:12,632
Oh yeah, that'd be fab. CHILDREN! So no surprise that

2642
02:54:13,813 --> 02:54:16,474
we all mourn in different ways and in Knowage in

2643
02:54:16,534 --> 02:54:21,478
the Nation, we like to mourn and celebrate with donation

2644
02:54:21,578 --> 02:54:26,461
notes. And I have a feeling John would be pretty

2645
02:54:26,661 --> 02:54:30,804
angry about the length of some of these notes. Holy

2646
02:54:31,184 --> 02:54:35,547
mackerel. Holy mackerel. He would be complaining. We're not going

2647
02:54:35,567 --> 02:54:37,829
to do that. We are going to read the notes

2648
02:54:37,889 --> 02:54:41,151
that came in as we promised. Wait, wait, wait. We

2649
02:54:41,211 --> 02:54:43,673
can complain still. Oh, no, we should complain. There's no

2650
02:54:43,773 --> 02:54:48,956
doubt about it. And we stopped at 8888 on the

2651
02:54:48,976 --> 02:54:50,878
last show. We're going to go all the way through

2652
02:54:51,018 --> 02:54:53,459
to the 50s as we always do with the addition,

2653
02:54:53,640 --> 02:54:57,262
I think, from the last show. So everybody who sent

2654
02:54:57,382 --> 02:54:59,924
in a note, we will read your note. Mimi, you

2655
02:54:59,924 --> 02:55:03,526
had something to say? you I have it between now

2656
02:55:03,626 --> 02:55:06,689
and midnight to do this no problem. Yeah, that's kind

2657
02:55:06,749 --> 02:55:09,951
of the amazing thing. Oh, that's a little too loud.

2658
02:55:09,991 --> 02:55:14,394
Oh, no. Sorry about that Yeah, no, it's just me

2659
02:55:14,694 --> 02:55:18,216
I'm getting the sound right here It's better than the

2660
02:55:18,276 --> 02:55:21,379
last show. Holy moly. You know why? Because you got

2661
02:55:21,459 --> 02:55:25,942
headphones. Oh, yeah. Well, I couldn't hear with the... speakers

2662
02:55:26,062 --> 02:55:28,804
on the floor anyway. I don't know how John did

2663
02:55:28,904 --> 02:55:32,666
it. I think he wasn't really listening to you. Sheer

2664
02:55:32,886 --> 02:55:37,690
stubbornness. No, I think meaning has it right. Unwillingness to

2665
02:55:37,750 --> 02:55:41,392
change. He wasn't actually listening to me. That's probably right.

2666
02:55:41,572 --> 02:55:45,755
That's probably closer to the truth. So let's go down

2667
02:55:45,875 --> 02:55:49,138
our list. We start off right off the bat with

2668
02:55:49,218 --> 02:55:52,740
a rubbleizer from Viscount, dude named Jeff, protector of the

2669
02:55:52,800 --> 02:55:59,485
land from Westlake, Ohio. $2,333.33. He says, I've been waiting

2670
02:55:59,525 --> 02:56:02,607
for the right time for a Rub-A-Lizer donation. No better

2671
02:56:02,707 --> 02:56:05,829
time than in honor of JCD. No jingles, no karma,

2672
02:56:06,249 --> 02:56:08,471
in honor of JCD. But yes, sir, you get this.

2673
02:56:19,218 --> 02:56:22,340
And I might as well continue with the next very

2674
02:56:22,400 --> 02:56:26,103
long note from Sir Steve Knight of the Red Heart,

2675
02:56:26,563 --> 02:56:32,187
also 3,333.33. He says, no agenda, family. Seeing the passing

2676
02:56:32,207 --> 02:56:34,889
of John C. Dvorak on the title of show 1888

2677
02:56:34,949 --> 02:56:37,591
made my heart sink. I've never cried for the passing

2678
02:56:37,651 --> 02:56:39,992
of someone I've never met. This, by the way, was

2679
02:56:40,132 --> 02:56:44,355
a general comment people would send me. The impact of

2680
02:56:44,375 --> 02:56:46,897
this show has had on me and so many others

2681
02:56:46,977 --> 02:56:49,619
is evident with the resounding messages that has happened over

2682
02:56:49,679 --> 02:56:53,621
the last week. I'm incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon

2683
02:56:53,641 --> 02:56:56,744
this show thanks to Adam's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast

2684
02:56:57,144 --> 02:57:01,327
in early 2020. Rogan donation. I started listening before my

2685
02:57:01,427 --> 02:57:03,808
daughter was born in March of 2020, and the insight

2686
02:57:03,828 --> 02:57:07,091
the two of you provided helped immensely navigating that first

2687
02:57:07,151 --> 02:57:08,852
year of her life when it seemed like the world

2688
02:57:08,912 --> 02:57:12,674
was turned upside down. I'm beyond appreciative of the service

2689
02:57:12,714 --> 02:57:14,776
that you two have provided, in a time when it's

2690
02:57:14,856 --> 02:57:17,958
rare to converse with anyone outside of your chatbot, you

2691
02:57:18,098 --> 02:57:21,160
two made it enjoyable to listen to two old friends

2692
02:57:21,180 --> 02:57:23,962
discuss the state of the world twice weekly. If I

2693
02:57:24,022 --> 02:57:27,164
can suggest if it's even possible to find any more,

2694
02:57:27,665 --> 02:57:31,227
is an article discussing the higher hand, which explores higher

2695
02:57:31,247 --> 02:57:34,189
and lower planes of spiritual existence. I bring this up

2696
02:57:34,249 --> 02:57:37,411
because having listened to John and heard the overwhelming sentiment

2697
02:57:37,471 --> 02:57:39,553
about his impact on others' lives, that there is no

2698
02:57:39,673 --> 02:57:42,895
doubt that he has transcended this plane of spiritual existence

2699
02:57:44,416 --> 02:57:46,718
This donation brings me to Barron Hood. I would like

2700
02:57:46,798 --> 02:57:51,521
to request the rule of Southwest Lorain County, Ohio, specifically

2701
02:57:51,541 --> 02:57:55,584
the township of Columbia Station. I cannot emphasize how much

2702
02:57:55,624 --> 02:57:58,225
I appreciate the value both Adam and John have provided

2703
02:57:58,245 --> 02:58:00,407
to me over the last six years, six years and

2704
02:58:00,427 --> 02:58:03,949
a half, other than a Bitcoin donation. The Rebelizer donation

2705
02:58:04,049 --> 02:58:07,772
cost me roughly $333.33 when it was purchased in 2018

2706
02:58:07,812 --> 02:58:10,794
to 2019. I wish the value I could provide was

2707
02:58:10,814 --> 02:58:14,356
100x this value, but sadly, I wasn't early enough to

2708
02:58:14,637 --> 02:58:18,259
the hard money revolution. I truly appreciate everything that the

2709
02:58:18,299 --> 02:58:20,781
entire No Agenda crew has done to make this experience

2710
02:58:20,841 --> 02:58:24,423
a possibility because there's nothing else like it. wait to

2711
02:58:24,463 --> 02:58:27,886
get the Rubalizer coin eventually. Yes. I'd also like to

2712
02:58:27,946 --> 02:58:31,988
request John's fisting nuts jingle. For brevity, we're going to

2713
02:58:32,029 --> 02:58:34,710
do some of these longer jingles at the end because

2714
02:58:34,710 --> 02:58:37,212
this will take several hours to get through this note.

2715
02:58:37,913 --> 02:58:40,995
Reverend Manning, we're all going to need a Bitcoin. And

2716
02:58:41,155 --> 02:58:43,837
if possible, a prayer from Adam because I think we're

2717
02:58:43,897 --> 02:58:46,078
all in need of one in times like this. Let

2718
02:58:46,198 --> 02:58:59,427
me give you your Rubalizer first. India. So I do

2719
02:58:59,547 --> 02:59:04,110
want to honor his request. Do we have... Do we

2720
02:59:04,150 --> 02:59:06,772
have Jay nearby to start keeping accounting of all the

2721
02:59:06,992 --> 02:59:11,555
jingles that were owed at the end of this? No,

2722
02:59:11,916 --> 02:59:15,758
Jay's sleeping. Let me... To honor his request of a

2723
02:59:15,838 --> 02:59:22,683
prayer, I will do that. Father God, in Jesus' name,

2724
02:59:22,723 --> 02:59:24,844
we come to you as an entire community, and we

2725
02:59:24,965 --> 02:59:26,806
thank you for the time that we were able to

2726
02:59:26,846 --> 02:59:29,328
spend with John here on this earth. Lord, we ask

2727
02:59:29,428 --> 02:59:31,969
you for grace, and we ask you for the Holy

2728
02:59:32,049 --> 02:59:35,131
Spirit to lift us up during this time. Lift up

2729
02:59:35,172 --> 02:59:37,994
the Dvoraks, lift up the Dukuris, lift up all of

2730
02:59:38,033 --> 02:59:40,315
Noah's generation, Lord. And we pray that you have your

2731
02:59:40,415 --> 02:59:42,517
arms around John, and we pray for this, Lord, in

2732
02:59:42,597 --> 02:59:49,762
your son Jesus' name. Amen. Sir Gatekeeper. To the No

2733
02:59:49,842 --> 02:59:52,623
Agenda family, Sir Gatekeeper here, returning from the fog of

2734
02:59:52,664 --> 02:59:55,105
my life with my deepest and warmest condolences on the

2735
02:59:55,165 --> 02:59:58,387
passing of John C. Dvorak. I've been saving my donation

2736
02:59:58,467 --> 02:59:59,988
for episode 2000, but it fell through.

2745
03:01:13,570 --> 03:01:20,114
cents and asked for a You've been dedouched. I was

2746
03:01:20,154 --> 03:01:22,356
thinking about the show on Thursday morning and saw the

2747
03:01:22,416 --> 03:01:27,059
news. Prayers to all and may lightness find all of

2748
03:01:27,119 --> 03:01:30,021
our hearts. JCD will be missed. Thank you, Adam, Mimi,

2749
03:01:30,061 --> 03:01:32,863
and crew for all you do. Humbly requesting my night

2752
03:01:38,146 --> 03:01:42,329
round table. Respectfully, Warren Crafts, and your jingle of the

2753
03:01:42,429 --> 03:01:47,493
ghostly donate is noted. boy here's one that John would

2754
03:01:47,533 --> 03:01:53,097
hate it's blowing out the spreadsheet Owen K from Tucson

2755
03:01:53,277 --> 03:01:59,801
Arizona 1888 and 88 cents thank you on 7:23 I

2756
03:01:59,801 --> 03:02:02,403
was hoping to enjoy another episode of the best podcast

2757
03:02:02,463 --> 03:02:04,604
in the universe but the feed wasn't showing an update

2758
03:02:04,664 --> 03:02:07,927
as the usual time. Instead, I tuned into We Get

2759
03:02:07,967 --> 03:02:10,028
to Do This and was shocked to hear about John's

2760
03:02:10,088 --> 03:02:12,850
passing. No agenda has been part of my life since

2761
03:02:12,890 --> 03:02:15,832
2008. It has always been something to look forward to

2762
03:02:15,932 --> 03:02:18,834
on Sundays and Thursdays. Having quit TV around the same

2763
03:02:18,894 --> 03:02:21,936
time, it quickly became my main source of news. The

2764
03:02:21,976 --> 03:02:23,998
show has been with me through all kinds of highs

2765
03:02:24,078 --> 03:02:26,219
and lows. I have good memories of tending the grill

2766
03:02:26,259 --> 03:02:28,160
as I cooked Sunday dinner for me and my parents,

2767
03:02:28,581 --> 03:02:31,703
accompanied by you and John discussing the latest news, international

2768
03:02:31,803 --> 03:02:39,228
conflict, disease outbreak, or beauty pageant. There's... Creek. When anything

2769
03:02:39,348 --> 03:02:41,349
major happened in the world, the first thing I'd think

2770
03:02:41,430 --> 03:02:43,071
was, I wonder what John and Adam are going to

2771
03:02:43,131 --> 03:02:45,672
say. I was fully expecting you two would make it

2772
03:02:45,692 --> 03:02:48,594
to 2000 and beyond. Every time either of you hinted

2773
03:02:48,674 --> 03:02:50,936
at ending the show, I thought maybe listeners could donate

2774
03:02:51,056 --> 03:02:53,658
so much money you would be indebted to continue the

2775
03:02:53,718 --> 03:02:57,400
show as our media analysis slaves ad finitum. I love

2776
03:02:57,480 --> 03:03:00,162
John's sense of humor, laughter, and quick wit and followed

2777
03:03:00,202 --> 03:03:03,084
him across the internet from No Agenda to Twit, Cranky

2778
03:03:03,164 --> 03:03:06,166
Geeks, Tech 5, DH Unplugged, and A New Domain. I

2779
03:03:06,286 --> 03:03:09,308
forgot about that one he was the crazy uncle we

2780
03:03:09,509 --> 03:03:11,810
all wish we had with the best stories and funniest

2781
03:03:11,890 --> 03:03:16,253
quips listen to the john stories episode several times adam

2782
03:03:16,293 --> 03:03:19,315
has been remarkable hearing about your faith journey and encouraging

2783
03:03:19,375 --> 03:03:21,677
to me even as a fellow believer i hope your

2784
03:03:21,717 --> 03:03:24,199
walk with christ was meaningful to john and changed his

2785
03:03:24,259 --> 03:03:27,141
heart in some way this is my first real donation

2786
03:03:27,201 --> 03:03:29,582
though i did get my official no agenda challenge coin

2787
03:03:29,662 --> 03:03:34,766
back in 2010. i'll happily take a deduce You've been

2788
03:03:34,926 --> 03:03:39,449
dee-doo- me sir of the middle desert and I'd like

2789
03:03:39,569 --> 03:03:42,951
root beer and soft pretzels at the round table. There

2790
03:03:42,971 --> 03:03:46,174
will never be another John, but I hope no agenda

2791
03:03:46,194 --> 03:03:50,136
continues on in some form. Gitmo Nation media assassinations never

2792
03:03:50,196 --> 03:03:53,078
get old. Praying for all who grieve John's passing, he

2793
03:03:53,138 --> 03:03:56,281
will be so missed. Owen from Tucson. And he has

2794
03:03:56,381 --> 03:03:59,483
a PS, of course. A few months ago, I attempted

2795
03:03:59,523 --> 03:04:01,904
to get AI to generate a picture of John's office

2796
03:04:01,984 --> 03:04:04,126
based on the tidbits of information we have gotten from

2797
03:04:04,186 --> 03:04:07,848
him over the years. Phrase from the chaise, mud flats,

2798
03:04:07,968 --> 03:04:11,871
Redbook, the Tech Archives, piles of cans, noisemakers, spreadsheets that

2799
03:04:11,911 --> 03:04:14,213
won't fit on the screen. And then he sent an

Big Ed the Gas Farmer. As a young 30-year-old man.

2835
03:07:07,771 --> 03:07:10,133
It has become increasingly more relevant to me that we

2836
03:07:10,213 --> 03:07:12,194
stand on the shoulders of giants. May this be a

2837
03:07:12,214 --> 03:07:15,016
quick reminder to young men listening that no effort is

2838
03:07:15,176 --> 03:07:20,500
too sissi- sissi- uh, sissifician. Uh, we must push forward

2839
03:07:20,540 --> 03:07:23,041
to honor these men as giants. Like, push them up

2840
03:07:23,122 --> 03:07:28,125
like rocks? Anyway. Remember our fathers, grandfathers, brothers, friends, and

2841

03:08:05,290 --> 03:08:07,852
been a fan of John since the tech TV days.

2850
03:08:08,933 --> 03:08:11,535
via twit since the beginning. No agenda has accompanied me

2851
03:08:11,615 --> 03:08:14,116
on countless commutes and tens of thousands of miles of

2852
03:08:14,156 --> 03:08:17,178
running. I'll miss my number one favorite grouser. Life is

for you all. To Adam, I'm sorry for the loss

2865
03:09:17,940 --> 03:09:20,422
of your beloved friend and co-host. I've enjoyed hearing about

2866
03:09:20,482 --> 03:09:22,463
your journey with Christ the past few years. I emailed

2867
03:09:22,503 --> 03:09:24,264
you a couple of years ago and you added me

2868
03:09:24,424 --> 03:09:26,946
to your prayer chain. Over the last few months, I've

2869
03:09:26,966 --> 03:09:29,007
been actively going back to church with my wife and

2870
03:09:29,107 --> 03:09:33,691
our youngest son got baptized. before COVID and you all

2871
03:09:33,871 --> 03:09:35,672
really helped me learn to not only listen to what

2872
03:09:35,672 --> 03:09:37,994
people say, but how much they, but how they say

2873
03:09:38,013 --> 03:09:41,016
it. Between No Agenda and MoFax, I've learned so much.

2874
03:09:42,617 --> 03:09:46,099
I've been a douche. went ahead and became an instant

2875
03:09:46,099 --> 03:09:54,945
knight. I'd like to be known as Sir Ginger Bear

2876
03:09:55,145 --> 03:09:59,288

2877
03:09:59,328 --> 03:09:59,928
round table is a...

2878
03:10:00,120 --> 03:10:03,142
Yellow Yellow Zero. John was special. Much like yourself and

2879
03:10:03,162 --> 03:10:05,563
listening to his family pay beautiful tribute to him Friday

2880
03:10:05,623 --> 03:10:09,206
morning was inspiring. Here's my thought on John. In all

2881
03:10:09,226 --> 03:10:10,947
of human history, God blessed us to live at the

2882
03:10:11,007 --> 03:10:13,048
same time as John C. Dvorak. There will never be

2883
03:10:13,108 --> 03:10:16,191
another one. Rest in peace, JCD. Please dedouche me. Sincerest

2884
03:10:16,191 --> 03:10:29,019
condolences. God love life. You've been dedouched. Martin Gidzinski. Gidzinski.

2885
03:10:29,159 --> 03:10:32,041
We're going to take some. All right, take it. Martin

2886
03:10:32,081 --> 03:10:39,026
Gidzynski from Wooddale, Illinois. $1,000. Thank you, Martin Gidzynski, Wooddale,

2887
03:10:39,186 --> 03:10:49,853
Illinois. Please de-douche. You've been de-douched. Jack Hockman from Washington,

2888
03:10:49,974 --> 03:10:54,417
D.C. $1,000. I first wrote to Adam and John 17

2889
03:10:54,477 --> 03:11:03,002
years ago upon discovering my high school's politicization of our

2890
03:11:03,102 --> 03:11:08,086
college entrance exams. John replied, typical BS ruining the country,

2891
03:11:08,826 --> 03:11:12,269
and named me No Agenda's new cultural attaché to the

2892
03:11:12,349 --> 03:11:16,432
educational meniscus. More than half my life I listened to

2893
03:11:16,472 --> 03:11:21,255
John. have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Amen.

2894
03:11:22,996 --> 03:11:31,862
Brandon Mango. $935.66. Heaven is a beautiful place. I was

2895
03:11:31,882 --> 03:11:35,725
there April 1st, 2011. I can't wait to go back.

2896
03:11:36,185 --> 03:11:38,947
It was so beautiful. You are so lucky, man. Sorry

2897
03:11:39,027 --> 03:11:44,191
for your family's loss. Miss you, you old curmudgeon. Sir

2898
03:11:44,251 --> 03:11:50,075
Carl of Cary from Cary, North Carolina. John, with a

2899
03:11:50,315 --> 03:11:55,418
$935.66 donation. John had such an impact on my life

2900
03:11:55,498 --> 03:11:59,721
going back to those early compute years. I've been listening

2901
03:11:59,821 --> 03:12:02,623
since the beginning and I really appreciate what has emerged

2902
03:12:02,683 --> 03:12:05,025
from all the hard work and dedication of John and

2903
03:12:05,125 --> 03:12:08,507
Adam, as well as their families, and No Agenda Nation.

2904
03:12:09,228 --> 03:12:11,669
You are all in my thoughts and prayers, Sir Carl

2905
03:12:11,729 --> 03:12:16,833
of Kerry. Sir Mike and Dame Becky of Cheney. I

2906
03:12:16,893 --> 03:12:20,956
think it's Kinney. Kinney. Yeah, Kinney. We got a pronunciation

2907
03:12:21,016 --> 03:12:26,800
guide from them previously. Kinney in Katy, Texas. With 935

2908
03:12:26,880 --> 03:12:31,343
and 66. Dear No Agenda family, please accept our donation

2909
03:12:31,463 --> 03:12:36,886
of $888.88 plus fees in memory of JCD. This donation

2910
03:12:36,946 --> 03:12:40,069
will make us barren and barreness, but since Gitmo Nation

2911
03:12:40,149 --> 03:12:43,091
is in mourning, we will forestall the ceremony for a

2912
03:12:43,111 --> 03:12:49,515
future time. NJNK, Sir Mike and Dame Becky Kinney. Sir

2913
03:12:49,655 --> 03:12:55,779
Scovey, Grand Duke of the Piedmont, Charlotte, North Carolina, $935.66.

2914
03:12:56,640 --> 03:13:00,683
Adam, Mimi, Dvorak family, and fellow producers, please accept this

2915
03:13:00,703 --> 03:13:08,368
donation of 8.88 plus fees. The sadness is real. The

2916
03:13:08,428 --> 03:13:11,650
sadness is real at Gitmo Nation. And also the outpouring

2917
03:13:11,830 --> 03:13:15,313
of admiration and love for John brings so much joy.

2918
03:13:16,393 --> 03:13:18,875
And the fate of his phone in the drawer comes

2919
03:13:18,955 --> 03:13:28,982
to mind. That device belongs in a technology museum or

2920
03:13:29,022 --> 03:13:32,745
a drawer in a technology museum. Not to be displayed

2921
03:13:32,865 --> 03:13:35,566
in just a boring case, but to be displayed in

2922
03:13:35,606 --> 03:13:39,049
an actual drawer. Same thought. A drawer to be opened

2923
03:13:39,129 --> 03:13:41,410
up to see the device. And when the drawer is

2924
03:13:41,510 --> 03:13:45,773
opened, an audio clip plays of John saying, and I

2925
03:13:46,374 --> 03:13:48,295
so ended up, so I put it up in the

2926
03:13:48,355 --> 03:13:52,198
drawer for a while. Thank you, Jason. For your wonderful

2927
03:13:52,338 --> 03:13:54,900
influence, the world needs more of that. Love and light,

2928
03:13:55,140 --> 03:14:01,824
Sir Scovey, Grand Duke of the Piedmont. Carol Goodman, 888.88.

2929
03:14:02,705 --> 03:14:06,107
ITM Adam, I was saddened to hear about JCD's passing.

2930
03:14:06,628 --> 03:14:09,149
I only discovered no agenda this past year, but he

2931
03:14:09,249 --> 03:14:13,212
quickly became... one of my favorite voices on the show.

2932
03:14:13,272 --> 03:14:16,935
His humor and delivery made every episode better. It's hard

2933
03:14:16,995 --> 03:14:19,717
to imagine the show without him. I also wanted to

2934
03:14:19,797 --> 03:14:22,619
say again how much I appreciate you, Adam, as part

2935
03:14:22,679 --> 03:14:26,321
of my church family and No Agenda. Your voice, perspective,

2936
03:14:26,381 --> 03:14:28,643
and dedication means a lot to so many of us.

2937
03:14:29,283 --> 03:14:31,424
And I'd like to keep hearing No Agenda for years

2938
03:14:31,525 --> 03:14:35,127
to come. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,

2939
03:14:35,167 --> 03:14:37,789
with you, and with everyone who knew and loved him.

2940
03:14:38,289 --> 03:14:41,491
JCD brought so much personality to the show, and he

2941
03:14:41,551 --> 03:14:45,094
will be deeply missed. I'll mostly miss hearing him say,

2942
03:14:46,755 --> 03:14:49,057
as we all say around the house all the time,

2943
03:14:49,637 --> 03:14:52,779
every show. He always made me chuckle, and I hope

2944
03:14:52,819 --> 03:14:55,321
you'll consider turning it into a jingle so his voice

2945
03:14:55,401 --> 03:14:57,923
and spirit can live on in the show. It would

2946
03:14:57,943 --> 03:15:00,104
be a fitting tribute to the joy he brought so

2947
03:15:00,164 --> 03:15:05,087
many. Thank you for everything you and JCD have given

2948
03:15:05,107 --> 03:15:08,930
the audience. Please take care, and again, my deepest condolences.

2949
03:15:09,531 --> 03:15:11,572
God bless you, Adam, and I'm keeping you in my

2950
03:15:11,672 --> 03:15:19,297
prayers. ITM, Carol Goodman, Willow City, Texas. Sir, actually, you

2951
03:15:19,337 --> 03:15:22,639
should read this one, Adam. Yes, Sir Jan, the innkeeper

2952
03:15:22,780 --> 03:15:26,002
of Amsterdam and Sir Giel. I think he came in

2953
03:15:26,102 --> 03:15:30,104
again, 888.88. Dear Adam, what a tragedy. Love to you

2954
03:15:30,205 --> 03:15:32,866
and John's family. We will miss him dearly. We are

2955
03:15:33,227 --> 03:15:36,949
really verdrietig, which means he's really sad. Sir Jan, the

2956
03:15:36,989 --> 03:15:39,351
innkeeper of Amsterdam and Sir Giel from the banks of

2957
03:15:39,371 --> 03:15:43,854
the River Amstel. Lynn Wilson, 888.88. My husband and I

2958
03:15:43,854 --> 03:15:45,615
have been listening to No Agenda for a couple of

2959
03:15:45,635 --> 03:15:47,656
years now. We love it and we will miss hearing

2960
03:15:47,717 --> 03:15:51,779
JCD. Prayers to Adam and John's families. Sarcastic the Nomad,

2961
03:15:51,999 --> 03:15:57,443
Glenmore, Pennsylvania, 888.88. Sincere condolences to the Dvorak family. Adam,

2962
03:15:57,603 --> 03:16:00,765
your monologue on Thursday's show was a touching masterclass in

2963
03:16:00,865 --> 03:16:05,088
broadcasting professionalism. You held it together while the rest of

2964
03:16:05,168 --> 03:16:08,070
Gitmo Nation wept. Rest in peace, JCD. No jingles, no

2965
03:16:08,170 --> 03:16:12,113
karma. Sarcastic the Nomad, Red Knight, and Baron of Chester

2966
03:16:12,173 --> 03:16:17,597
County. Maarten van Ettinger in Lopik in the Netherlands. 888.88.

2967
03:16:18,317 --> 03:16:21,420
Shocked by this sad news, I enjoyed JCD, especially on

2968
03:16:21,500 --> 03:16:24,762
Cranky Geeks. No Agenda saved me during the 24 elections

2969
03:16:25,082 --> 03:16:27,984
when I first tuned in. Forever thankful for No Agenda's

2970
03:16:28,024 --> 03:16:30,826
value. Thank you for celebrating John's life. Rest in peace.

2971
03:16:31,266 --> 03:16:36,290
My condolences. Andrea Gardner, 777. Gutted to hear the man,

2972
03:16:36,330 --> 03:16:38,851
the myth, the legend, John C. Dvorak is no longer

2973
03:16:38,911 --> 03:16:41,653
with us. Hugs to Mimi and his amazing family. Also

2974
03:16:41,733 --> 03:16:44,615
to Adam, Tina, Andrew, and all his friends. Love from

2975
03:16:44,695 --> 03:16:48,658
Black Knight, Sir Kelly, Dame Andrea, and Sir Dallas. and

2976
03:16:48,698 --> 03:16:51,640
producer since 2007 until the end, which we hope is

2977
03:16:51,720 --> 03:16:54,342
never. Thank you for all the fun memories, John. One

2978
03:16:54,342 --> 03:16:57,544
of our favorite JCD quotes is, hold on, this damn

2979
03:16:57,724 --> 03:17:03,988
Twitter fucked me over. A rare F-bomb from me. David

2980
03:17:04,109 --> 03:17:07,951
Makko from Portland, Oregon, 777. Cheers and thank you for

2981
03:17:08,011 --> 03:17:12,754
everything. Yes. Andrea Gardner. That's who I just did. That

2982
03:17:12,774 --> 03:17:14,536
was the one we read. Oh, I'm... Yeah, we've got

2983
03:17:14,536 --> 03:17:18,438
it there. Dame Rachel. It's okay. I'll just sit in

2984
03:17:18,438 --> 03:17:20,740
the corner now. Believe me. John and I went through

2985
03:17:20,740 --> 03:17:26,424
this all the time. Dame Rachel, Covington, Louisiana, $720.26. No

2986
03:17:26,544 --> 03:17:31,727
note. Lyle. Lyle. Lyle, $7.11 and $0.15. Adam, I was

2987
03:17:31,787 --> 03:17:34,009
waiting for Bitcoin to hit $1,000 so I could go

2988
03:17:34,129 --> 03:17:37,571
straight to Instanite. $1,000? Well, I paid $1,000 a long

2989
03:17:37,651 --> 03:17:40,353
time ago. Maybe it meant a million. Ironically, John didn't

2990
03:17:40,373 --> 03:17:42,215
hang around to see that day, which he would have

2991
03:17:42,235 --> 03:17:45,076
groused about, which only feels right for a Bitcoin donation.

2992
03:17:45,497 --> 03:17:47,578
The Noah Jenna Show has been a constant voice in

2993
03:17:47,638 --> 03:17:50,960
an ocean of madness. To not get his worldview twice

2994
03:17:50,980 --> 03:17:52,922
a week will be a real gap in my life.

2995
03:17:53,042 --> 03:17:59,546
Please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. Rub-a-lizer out. It's only

2996
03:17:59,586 --> 03:18:04,690
for rub-a-lizers. Kia kaha? I believe it is. Lyle. Dame

2997
03:18:04,770 --> 03:18:09,753
Lacey from Lake Mills, Wisconsin, 58888. To John, family, and

2998
03:18:09,813 --> 03:18:12,455
friends, my virtual arms are reaching out to embrace you

2999
03:18:12,515 --> 03:18:16,158
during this incredibly difficult time. John was truly an esteemed

3000
03:18:16,238 --> 03:18:19,660
man who remarkably impacted the lives of countless people. His

3001
03:18:19,740 --> 03:18:23,122
losses felt deeply by so many, me included. To show

3002
03:18:23,202 --> 03:18:25,544
the love and admiration I hold for JCD, I offer

3003
03:18:25,604 --> 03:18:28,786
this donation in his honor. This brings my peerage level

3004
03:18:28,866 --> 03:18:31,588
to that of Baroness. May I please hear John once

3005
03:18:31,668 --> 03:18:34,350
again ask for producers to donate in his spooky voice.

3006
03:18:34,370 --> 03:18:36,892
I will play that at the end. Blessings to all.

3007
03:18:36,992 --> 03:18:39,193
Love and light. Thank you for your courage. Dame Lacey,

3008
03:18:39,674 --> 03:18:45,618
Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Tom and Larissa from Georgetown, Texas, 52636.

3009
03:18:46,298 --> 03:18:48,960
To Adam and the Dvorak family, we send you our

3010
03:18:49,040 --> 03:18:52,422
heartfelt condolences on the passing of JCD. We are going

3011
03:18:52,482 --> 03:18:55,485
to miss his grumpiness. May he rest in peace. Sincerely,

3012
03:18:55,885 --> 03:18:58,026
Tom and Larissa. Oh, this is the one I've been

3013
03:18:58,026 --> 03:19:05,231
waiting for. This literally blows out three spreadsheets. But we

3014
03:19:05,331 --> 03:19:08,293
do break for nights here on the show. So Sir

3015
03:19:08,413 --> 03:19:11,776
Knives of the Providence Plantations and Lady Butters of the

3016
03:19:12,156 --> 03:19:18,440
Narragansett Bay sent in $526.36. And whoever is next will

3017
03:19:18,480 --> 03:19:21,642
take it after this one. Adam, Mimi, and all the

3018
03:19:21,682 --> 03:19:24,805
No Agenda family, I had wanted to donate for Thursday's

3019
03:19:24,844 --> 03:19:26,546
show, but I found myself at a bit of a

3020
03:19:26,646 --> 03:19:29,808
loss for what to say. Losing John so suddenly hit

3021
03:19:29,868 --> 03:19:33,290
me harder than I thought possible. When my wife, Lady

3022
03:19:33,370 --> 03:19:35,952
Butters, texted me initially, I couldn't believe it. And as

3023
03:19:35,992 --> 03:19:38,314
so many others have said, I thought it simply had

3024
03:19:38,354 --> 03:19:40,875
to be a ploy for donations. It was a possibility.

3025
03:19:41,736 --> 03:19:45,218
I wish. I rarely hate being so wrong as much

3026
03:19:45,298 --> 03:19:47,440
as I feel now. Myself and Lady Butters have been

3027
03:19:47,460 --> 03:19:50,462
delinquent in donations too long. I hope my $500 plus

3028
03:19:50,502 --> 03:19:52,703
fees can make up for that. And that you humor

3029
03:19:52,744 --> 03:19:57,727
my following on how John has impacted us both. George

3030
03:19:58,107 --> 03:19:59,828
S. Patton once said, it is...

3031
03:20:00,220 --> 03:20:02,381
and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we

3032
03:20:02,421 --> 03:20:06,264
should thank God such men lived. It feels apt. I

3033
03:20:06,344 --> 03:20:08,705
think my first interaction with JCD was as a kid

3034
03:20:08,785 --> 03:20:11,087
in grade school in our shambles of a computer lab

3035
03:20:11,487 --> 03:20:13,749
where they were teaching us to type. And though my

3036
03:20:13,829 --> 03:20:15,990
memory is foggy, I'm pretty sure I remember the voice

3037
03:20:16,070 --> 03:20:19,813
prompting me was none other than JCD himself. Yes, they

3038
03:20:19,973 --> 03:20:23,315
used Dvorak on typing. Was that a real thing, Mimi?

3039
03:20:24,236 --> 03:20:26,818
Absolutely it is. We have one framed on the wall.

3040
03:20:26,958 --> 03:20:29,920
Oh my goodness. I didn't even know about that. Already

3041
03:20:29,960 --> 03:20:32,121
a rather old product by the time I was there

3042
03:20:32,201 --> 03:20:34,883
to teach the kids. I suppose I can understand why

3043
03:20:34,963 --> 03:20:38,546
John may have hesitated to recommend it and seem too

3044
03:20:38,646 --> 03:20:41,368
shy to shy away from talking about it on the

3045
03:20:41,408 --> 03:20:45,050
show. Wow. I didn't know this about Dvorak on typing.

3046
03:20:45,410 --> 03:20:48,413
I need this. I'm a pecker. I need to learn

3047
03:20:48,452 --> 03:20:50,874
how to type. I am now a 38 year old

3048
03:20:50,934 --> 03:20:54,917
computer engineer with nearly two decades experience. I utilized a

3049
03:20:55,017 --> 03:20:59,540
bastardized pick-and-peck method that ended up becoming ingrained in me

3050
03:20:59,640 --> 03:21:02,562
as a kid. But the fundamentals of typing clearly didn't

3051
03:21:02,622 --> 03:21:06,104
stick. John's voice sure did. In high school, I have

3052
03:21:06,165 --> 03:21:08,666
fond memories of seeing John every so often when I

3053
03:21:08,726 --> 03:21:11,268
would catch him on tech TV. I recall him always

3054
03:21:11,348 --> 03:21:13,329
eliciting a chuckle from me when I saw one of

3055
03:21:13,350 --> 03:21:16,151
his hot takes, and I always appreciated his wit. It

3056
03:21:16,211 --> 03:21:17,913
stuck with me. It made me feel like being a

3057
03:21:17,973 --> 03:21:20,754
computer nerd wasn't a stigma, and that there were normal

3058
03:21:20,855 --> 03:21:23,256
folks out there that were also something more than computer

3059
03:21:23,316 --> 03:21:26,518
literate. seemed like he had a solid grasp of Oscar

3060
03:21:26,578 --> 03:21:29,761
Wilde's concept that life is much too important a thing

3061
03:21:29,781 --> 03:21:33,883
ever to talk seriously about it. Fast forward to 2016,

3062
03:21:33,963 --> 03:21:36,966
I distinctly remember I was tremendously hungover sitting on the

3063
03:21:37,006 --> 03:21:40,088
couch and through some freak oddity, my echo speaker fouled

3064
03:21:40,188 --> 03:21:42,169
up what I told it to start playing some random

3065
03:21:42,229 --> 03:21:45,571
podcast. The best podcast in the universe or some such

3066
03:21:45,672 --> 03:21:49,094
thing as they build it. My addled semi-conscious mind didn't

3067
03:21:49,134 --> 03:21:51,616
bother to turn it off and instead I listened. I

3068
03:21:51,676 --> 03:21:54,037
thought I recognized one of the voices I heard. There

3069
03:21:54,077 --> 03:21:56,419
was this overzealous guy who sounded like he had a

3070
03:21:56,479 --> 03:21:58,780
lot of hair, but there was also the other host

3071
03:21:58,841 --> 03:22:02,983
who sounded suspiciously like he had less hair I wasn't

3072
03:22:03,063 --> 03:22:06,125
sharing the hair, but I digress. Oh, man. He sounded

3073
03:22:06,185 --> 03:22:09,428
familiar. It struck me then. Crap. In a hat. That's

3074
03:22:09,528 --> 03:22:12,690
John Dvorak. The same guy who I ignored typing prompts

3075
03:22:12,750 --> 03:22:15,372
from and I thought was amusing a decade prior when

3076
03:22:15,432 --> 03:22:18,054
I caught him on TV. I sat there, slipping in

3077
03:22:18,134 --> 03:22:21,196
and out as I yo-yoed my guts from imbibing far

3078
03:22:21,296 --> 03:22:25,178
too much the prior night and listened. Suddenly enraptured when

3079
03:22:25,318 --> 03:22:28,401
my, at the time, recent wife, Lady Butters, stopped it

3080
03:22:28,561 --> 03:22:30,842
to set a timer for something and I was pissed.

3081
03:22:31,263 --> 03:22:34,045
I realized I had found something remarkable. A huge part

3082
03:22:34,104 --> 03:22:37,727
of that was John. you In the time since no

3083
03:22:37,827 --> 03:22:42,670
agenda has become a weekly staple in our house, countless

3084
03:22:42,750 --> 03:22:45,312
are the Sundays we have sat enjoying brunch after our

3085
03:22:45,332 --> 03:22:48,294
weekly range trips, we call it going to church, listening

3086
03:22:48,334 --> 03:22:51,697
to the live stream, laughing and enjoying JCD's rapier wit

3087
03:22:52,177 --> 03:22:55,399
and sensible takes. Often we would have range buddies over

3088
03:22:55,639 --> 03:22:57,881
after and getting over what they initially thought was a

3089
03:22:57,961 --> 03:23:00,943
cult, they would be laughing and appreciating John's acumen as

3090
03:23:01,003 --> 03:23:04,245
well. Numerous times John would bust out some quip or

3091
03:23:04,305 --> 03:23:07,868
some one-liner that had us laughing Lady Butters would exclaim,

3092
03:23:08,028 --> 03:23:10,930
see, that is why John is my spirit animal. He

3093
03:23:11,010 --> 03:23:13,952
is the best curmudgeon. She had always felt kindred with

3094
03:23:14,032 --> 03:23:16,593
John as a fellow writer. I can't describe how elated

3095
03:23:16,674 --> 03:23:18,615
she was when he saw fit to add her as

3096
03:23:18,655 --> 03:23:22,257
a connection on LinkedIn years back. She was elated and

3097
03:23:22,317 --> 03:23:24,459
wore it as a badge of honor. I truly think

3098
03:23:24,539 --> 03:23:26,921
it was. To be associated in any way with such

3099
03:23:26,921 --> 03:23:30,303
a prolific personality is truly an honor. He was as

3100
03:23:30,383 --> 03:23:33,865
fundamental to her as he has been to me. Rescu-

3101
03:23:36,527 --> 03:23:51,527
What's the word? Resquiat in pace. way to end it,

3102
03:24:08,929 --> 03:24:11,351
but some lines of a song come to mind written

3103
03:24:11,411 --> 03:24:13,652
by Springsteen before he went off the deep end. It

3104
03:24:13,732 --> 03:24:17,195
seems poignant. They say you can't take it with you,

3105
03:24:17,335 --> 03:24:19,676
but I think they're wrong because all I know is

3106
03:24:19,757 --> 03:24:22,018
I woke up this morning and something big was gone.

3107
03:24:22,478 --> 03:24:24,960
Gone into that dark ether where you're still young and

3108
03:24:25,100 --> 03:24:28,102
hard and cold, just like when they built you, brother,

3109
03:24:28,282 --> 03:24:31,004
and broke the mold. Now your death is upon us

3110
03:24:31,104 --> 03:24:33,146
and will return your ashes to the earth, and I

3111
03:24:33,266 --> 03:24:35,747
know you'll take comfort in knowing you've been roundly blessed

3112
03:24:35,827 --> 03:24:38,409
and cursed. But love is a power greater than death,

3113
03:24:38,549 --> 03:24:41,371
just like songs and stories told. And when she built

3114
03:24:41,411 --> 03:24:46,155
you, brother, she broke the mold. boots on the ground

and unmute when you want to? I will do my

03:25:19,317 --> 03:25:21,799
best. Yes, you can. I know you can. It works

3124
03:25:21,859 --> 03:25:26,042
better that way. I only have one computer screen here,

so. Well, the mute is on the clean feed. bright

mute you now then and you can figure it out.

3128
03:25:36,349 --> 03:25:38,991

3142
03:26:36,650 --> 03:26:38,911
heavy, but I feel rich having listened for so long

3143
03:26:38,971 --> 03:26:41,253
and also feel encouraged that Adam will continue the legacy.

3144
03:26:41,713 --> 03:26:46,697

Tierney in Carver, Minnesota, $500. All right. Let me prepare.

3146
03:26:55,463 --> 03:27:00,186
Here you go. All right. Two years ago, my brother,

3147
03:27:00,286 --> 03:27:02,487
Rob, the constitutional lawyer, called me while I was walking

3148
03:27:02,507 --> 03:27:04,489
around the campus of the greatest university on the planet,

3149
03:27:04,529 --> 03:27:08,832
Texas A&M. Whoop! Dropping off our youngest for school, he

3150
03:27:08,872 --> 03:27:11,193
was actually calling to ask for some job search advice

3151
03:27:11,293 --> 03:27:13,255
for a friend, but before he got to that point,

3152
03:27:13,475 --> 03:27:14,876
he had to tell me about how he knew her.

3153
03:27:15,416 --> 03:27:17,538
As it turns out, this story led straight to no

3154
03:27:17,598 --> 03:27:19,879
agenda. Then he asked me, do you remember PC Magazine?

3155
03:27:20,120 --> 03:27:22,361
I laughed. Of course I do. The magazine is partly

3156
03:27:22,401 --> 03:27:25,823
responsible for the entire direction of my career. From there,

3157
03:27:25,863 --> 03:27:28,205
he told me about meeting John and Adam. Before long,

3158
03:27:28,305 --> 03:27:31,527
my smoking hot hillbilly husband and I became devoted no-agenda

3159
03:27:31,727 --> 03:27:34,850
producers-in-waiting. For the past two years, those six hours a

3160
03:27:34,890 --> 03:27:36,891
week have been some of the few moments where the

3161
03:27:37,031 --> 03:27:38,832
noise of the world fades away and the common sense

3162
03:27:38,872 --> 03:27:41,954
returns. When my brother texted this week to tell me

3163
03:27:42,014 --> 03:27:43,836
that John had died, it felt like a punch in

3164
03:27:43,876 --> 03:27:46,337
the gut. I've been following John C. Dvorak's work for

3165
03:27:46,377 --> 03:27:49,019
more than 30 years. From the PC Magazine days, through

3166
03:27:49,039 --> 03:27:51,121
No Agenda, I always assumed there would be time to

3167
03:27:51,141 --> 03:27:54,523
meet him someday. And then suddenly, there wasn't. John had

3168
03:27:54,523 --> 03:27:58,105
a combination of wit, intelligence, skepticism, and delightful cranky charm

3169
03:27:58,145 --> 03:28:00,707
that simply can't be replaced. He taught generations of us

3170
03:28:00,767 --> 03:28:03,689
to question narratives, think independently, and never lose our sense

3171
03:28:03,709 --> 03:28:06,411
of humor while doing it. The donation in John's memory

3172
03:28:06,571 --> 03:28:10,194
is officially our dedouching. I've been telling Tom... Oh, you

3173
03:28:10,334 --> 03:28:14,537
nailed it! You've been dedouched! You nailed it! I... I...

3174
03:28:15,237 --> 03:28:18,399
I... I was delayed, sorry. That's alright. I've been telling

3175
03:28:18,459 --> 03:28:21,301
Tom we should become producers ever since we started listening,

3176
03:28:21,361 --> 03:28:23,142
but life always seemed to get in the way. If

3177
03:28:23,183 --> 03:28:25,524
you realize that's not... I've realized that's not a very

3178
03:28:25,544 --> 03:28:27,786
good excuse. If John's passing has reminded me of anything,

3179
03:28:27,826 --> 03:28:30,808
it's this. Don't wait! Support the things you value. Tell

3180
03:28:30,868 --> 03:28:33,109
people what they mean to you. Make the trip. Give

3181
03:28:33,129 --> 03:28:36,692
the donation. Live the life. Thank you, John, for decades

3182
03:28:36,712 --> 03:28:39,353
of insight, laughter, and perspective. You left the world sharper

3183
03:28:39,373 --> 03:28:44,697
than you found it. Godspeed, John. Rest in peace. Keith

Sirbig Johnson, Poughkeepsie, New York, $500. Dear Adam and Dvorak

3185
03:28:50,901 --> 03:28:54,104
family, been a listener since episode 11. John was the

3186
03:28:54,164 --> 03:29:00,168
best. My deepest condolences. I've heard when... I've heard when

3187
03:29:00,208 --> 03:29:03,090
an office chair squeaks, a podcaster gets his wings. Then

3188
03:29:03,130 --> 03:29:07,273
he had a number of wings. Sort of like biblically

3189
03:29:07,613 --> 03:29:11,475
accurate angel wings. Didn't we skip somebody? No, we didn't.

3190
03:29:12,056 --> 03:29:15,358
No, we skipped nobody. Oh, okay. I'm out of it.

3191
03:29:15,378 --> 03:29:18,560
I'll just go back to being quiet. We're on 41

3192
03:29:18,620 --> 03:29:21,302
now. Okay, thank you. Which is a great name. Great

3193
03:29:21,362 --> 03:29:27,186
name. Coopville, Washington. $500. Deepest condolences from Oak Harbor, Washington.

Laptop lids are half closed and cell phones in the

3195

drawers this week. Anonymous Douchebag in Kentfield, California. $444. Rest

3196
03:29:37,693 --> 03:29:39,955
easy, John. Thank you for many years of great entertainment.

3197
03:29:40,055 --> 03:29:43,097
You are loved and you will be missed. Sir R.

3198
03:29:43,237 --> 03:29:49,321
Daniels. 422.21 cents. I saw the email notification in the

3199
03:29:49,321 --> 03:29:51,703
background while in a virtual meeting and assumed it was

3200
03:29:51,763 --> 03:29:56,506
JCD newsletter clickbait. How wrong was I? I was listening

3201
03:29:56,526 --> 03:29:58,447
to John's last show before hearing the news last week,

3202
03:29:58,528 --> 03:29:59,928
as usual, while working out a remark.

3203
03:30:00,059 --> 03:30:03,942
In my head how to show how this show, these

3204
03:30:04,002 --> 03:30:06,464
guys, have been part of my life for decades. I'm

3205
03:30:06,524 --> 03:30:09,286
53, so Adam on MTV pairing up with a guy

3206
03:30:09,326 --> 03:30:10,987
I had been reading since the 6th grade in PC

3207
03:30:11,127 --> 03:30:14,169
Magazine. I started listening to No Agenda in episode 1.

3208
03:30:15,130 --> 03:30:17,111
I was there from the beginning, hearing about it first

3209
03:30:17,171 --> 03:30:21,634
on Twit. Christian Hartsock, former Project Veritas chief investigative reporter

3210
03:30:21,674 --> 03:30:24,096
and the man behind the Noodle Boy story, called me

3211
03:30:24,156 --> 03:30:27,598
and asked, have you heard the news? Devastated. No jingles,

3212
03:30:27,778 --> 03:30:30,280
just karma. Love you Adam and Tina. Me, me and

3213
03:30:30,400 --> 03:30:32,602
family mean it. I hope you can find ways to

3214
03:30:32,602 --> 03:30:35,203
keep it going. We're here. No agenda nation. Many more

3215
03:30:35,224 --> 03:30:45,611
years. I'll take it away. Yeah. The Cohan's with $421.10.

3216
03:30:46,231 --> 03:30:49,333
Hi, Adam and team. I'm so sorry for your loss.

3217
03:30:49,914 --> 03:30:52,195
In remembrance of John, I thought you might like to

3218
03:30:52,255 --> 03:30:55,097
hear how No Agenda, especially John as a fellow Bay

3219
03:30:55,137 --> 03:30:58,279
Area resident, played a part in our love story. When

3220
03:30:58,319 --> 03:31:01,361
my husband Josh and I started dating during COVID, our

3221
03:31:01,441 --> 03:31:05,424
first real test of compatibility was sharing our favorite podcasts.

3222
03:31:06,385 --> 03:31:13,810
I, a reformed, angry New Yorker, Glass and Renee Brown,

3223
03:31:14,510 --> 03:31:19,234
who told stories of humanity and perseverance. Josh, on the

3224
03:31:19,254 --> 03:31:23,296
other hand, a represented agitator at heart, raised on a

3225
03:31:23,376 --> 03:31:26,338
strict Bay Area diet of good vibes only, listened to

3226
03:31:26,418 --> 03:31:29,501
you, Adam and John, who always seemed to be yelling

3227
03:31:29,560 --> 03:31:33,863
loudly about corruption everywhere. I get it. You can't trust

3228
03:31:33,904 --> 03:31:37,766
anyone. It just wasn't for me. Adam's voice raised my

3229
03:31:37,866 --> 03:31:41,829
cortisol levels. John was slightly easier on the ears. I

3230
03:31:41,949 --> 03:31:44,791
mostly listened just to connect with Josh, with whom I

3231
03:31:44,931 --> 03:31:47,613
was slowly growing to love. Over the years, though, I

3232
03:31:47,693 --> 03:31:51,155
grew to genuinely appreciate the show. Hell, even Adam's voice

3233
03:31:51,195 --> 03:31:53,737
grew on me. But for Josh, this show became a

3234
03:31:53,777 --> 03:31:56,739
significant part of his support system during the hardest period

3235
03:31:56,819 --> 03:32:00,762
in his life. Brutal divorce and custody battle. Stressful career.

3236
03:32:01,903 --> 03:32:05,745
Josh and I come from vastly different worlds. On paper,

3237
03:32:06,145 --> 03:32:09,067
we're not compatible. And our relationship was strained for many

3238
03:32:09,147 --> 03:32:12,470
reasons, but our mutual love and respect grew stronger as

3239
03:32:12,570 --> 03:32:15,932
we learned about each other. And your show was a

3240
03:32:15,952 --> 03:32:20,615
major factor in propelling our relationship forward. Listening, pausing, talking,

3241
03:32:20,675 --> 03:32:23,457
listening again to your voices made us realize that our

3242
03:32:23,517 --> 03:32:27,960
compatibility wasn't in identical backgrounds or viewpoints, but rather in

3243
03:32:28,040 --> 03:32:31,823
our willingness to engage in hard conversations and lovingly challenge

3244
03:32:31,963 --> 03:32:36,406
each other's perceived belief system. And that has become a

3245
03:32:36,426 --> 03:32:39,788
building block in our marriage today. Ira Glass sure as

3246
03:32:39,828 --> 03:32:43,651
hell didn't help us grow as a couple. And for

3247
03:32:43,691 --> 03:32:46,333
that, I am forever grateful. We will miss you, John.

3248
03:32:46,933 --> 03:32:51,136
Adam, you got this. Much love and respect. The Cohands.

James Niddle from Moore, South Carolina with $408.47. RIP JCD.

3250
03:33:00,162 --> 03:33:13,752
F cancer. You've got karma. Robert Roberts from Grants Pass,

3251
03:33:13,972 --> 03:33:19,255
Oregon, with a $388.88 donation. I was first introduced to

3252
03:33:19,335 --> 03:33:22,698
the show by Brian the Drunk Millennial back in 2015.

3253
03:33:22,758 --> 03:33:25,279
He used to say, you have to listen to three

3254
03:33:25,399 --> 03:33:27,601
shows to get into it, and that was true for

3255
03:33:27,641 --> 03:33:32,124
me. I used to only catch drips and drops riding

3256
03:33:32,184 --> 03:33:34,606
in the truck with Brian, but one day I started

3257
03:33:34,706 --> 03:33:37,448
on my own, and then I was hooked. Been here

3258
03:33:37,508 --> 03:33:40,650
ever since, and I'm so thankful. When I saw the

3259
03:33:40,670 --> 03:33:43,492
newsletter title, I thought it was one of John's clever

3260
03:33:43,592 --> 03:33:46,114
ploys. Wow, man. I had missed the newsletter when it

3261
03:33:46,154 --> 03:33:49,816
came out. Yeah, we tricked them all. I had missed

3262
03:33:49,836 --> 03:33:52,178
the newsletter when it came out as I worked a

3263
03:33:52,198 --> 03:33:55,820
long day in the woods out. of service and I

3264
03:33:55,920 --> 03:33:59,363
saw it at 3:30 in the morning while having my

3265
03:33:59,763 --> 03:34:02,405
morning coffee. When I opened it and saw the photo

3266
03:34:02,425 --> 03:34:05,507
of John, that sense of dread welled up and when

3267
03:34:05,547 --> 03:34:08,749
I read them in memoriam, I was gutted. I seldom

3268
03:34:08,829 --> 03:34:11,131
cry, but the rendition of "I'm gonna miss you in

3269
03:34:11,171 --> 03:34:14,393
the morning" last show got me. You two have been

3270
03:34:14,433 --> 03:34:17,695
with me for timber cruising the redwoods, hours of making

3271
03:34:17,755 --> 03:34:23,519
timber and laying out harvests until across California, surveying plantations

3272
03:34:23,579 --> 03:34:37,709
in Oregon, and long drives across the western states. Wow.

3273
03:34:40,371 --> 03:34:55,371
Seedlings. wanted to get there and with this donation I

3274
03:35:00,224 --> 03:35:03,526
finally reached knighthood a day late and a thousand of

3275
03:35:03,646 --> 03:35:06,548
dollars short of what real value for value would be

3276
03:35:07,669 --> 03:35:11,292
I would like to be certain man morning night was

3277
03:35:11,432 --> 03:35:14,874
morning spelt with you. For the roundtable, could you order

3278
03:35:14,994 --> 03:35:18,377
up John's favorite? Y'all have always been in my prayers

3279
03:35:18,397 --> 03:35:21,659
and even more so lately. I'm sorry for the rambling.

3280
03:35:21,799 --> 03:35:23,780
I guess I just don't know how to put all

3281
03:35:23,820 --> 03:35:27,183
of these thoughts and feelings together. In the morning, and

3282
03:35:27,263 --> 03:35:30,965
thank you for your courage, Robert Roberts. Sir Chris and

3283
03:35:31,065 --> 03:35:37,990
Dame Kristen of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. For the $388.88 donation, dear

3284
03:35:38,150 --> 03:35:41,372
Adam, Mimi, and family, Dame Kristen and I are shocked

3285
03:35:41,492 --> 03:35:43,974
and saddened by the news of John's passing. Like so

3286
03:35:44,074 --> 03:35:46,656
many in No Agenda community, we can't believe he's gone.

3287
03:35:47,596 --> 03:35:50,979
We are honored to- We are honored to have been.

3288
03:35:51,799 --> 03:35:54,941
executive producers of the show for over over the years

3289
03:35:55,442 --> 03:35:59,505
going back to 2014. Since we began listening around 2010,

3290
03:35:59,545 --> 03:36:01,826
John has been a regular voice in our lives. He

3291
03:36:01,926 --> 03:36:05,449
changed us to think more critically, question the mainstream media,

3292
03:36:05,489 --> 03:36:08,411
and approach the world with a healthy dose of skepticism

3293
03:36:08,511 --> 03:36:11,593
and humor. When Adam and John came down on opposite

3294
03:36:11,633 --> 03:36:15,876
sides of an issue, those discussions often sparked more spirited

3295
03:36:15,936 --> 03:36:19,778
debate between us as well. Overall, we're just better grounded

3296
03:36:19,858 --> 03:36:23,101
in reality. Our hearts go out to Mimi, the family,

3297
03:36:23,321 --> 03:36:26,703
and everyone close to John. We hope that in days

3298
03:36:26,763 --> 03:36:30,005
ahead, there is some comfort in knowing just how many

3299
03:36:30,065 --> 03:36:33,668
people he touched and lives he influenced. Long live John

3300
03:36:33,708 --> 03:36:36,710
C. Dvorak and long live No Agenda. In the morning,

3301
03:36:36,930 --> 03:36:42,354
Sir Chris and Dame Kristen of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Kirby dude of

03:36:42,534 --> 03:36:49,379
Austin, Texas. With $388.88 donation. Rest in peace, JCD. Spitty

3303
03:36:49,559 --> 03:36:57,944
Fire. From an unknown location for $356.77, CNET introduced me

3304
03:36:58,064 --> 03:37:01,847
to the concept John C. Dvorak. No Agenda presented the

3305
03:37:01,947 --> 03:37:07,131
final rendition of JCD. Long live Buzzkill's insatiable spirit, sending

3306
03:37:07,191 --> 03:37:10,493
much love to his powerhouse family, incredible circle of friends,

3307
03:37:11,173 --> 03:37:17,338
and No Agenda community. Spitty Fire. Shannon McNeil with $350.93.

3308
03:37:18,338 --> 03:37:21,861
I stumbled upon No Agenda in early 2020, and it

3309
03:37:21,901 --> 03:37:24,282
has been nothing short of life-changing for me and my

3310
03:37:24,362 --> 03:37:28,825
family. John Hennis always reminded me of my father-in-law. Me

3311
03:37:28,925 --> 03:37:31,407
too. And I was gutted to hear the news of

3312
03:37:31,467 --> 03:37:38,272
his passing. My sincere condolences. Sending love and light. Jeffrey

3313
03:37:38,512 --> 03:37:45,437
Walsdorf with $350.93 donation and 350 words. And 350 words.

3314
03:37:45,677 --> 03:37:47,318
I actually don't know if I can see this whole

3315
03:37:47,378 --> 03:37:50,420
thing, Adam. Oh, I'll do it. It's too big for

3316
03:37:50,460 --> 03:37:52,502
the spreadsheet. It's blowing out the spreadsheet. I'll do it.

3317
03:37:52,542 --> 03:37:55,424
No problem. Dear Adam, thank you for taking the time

3318
03:37:55,444 --> 03:37:57,385
to read my note on Thursday's show. He's coming back.

3319
03:37:57,625 --> 03:38:00,687
It's 350.93. I was still in a state of shock

3320
03:38:00,747 --> 03:38:02,368
when I wrote it, so it was very brief. After

3321
03:38:02,408 --> 03:38:05,250
hearing so many wonderful notes on episode 1888, I wanted

3322
03:38:05,270 --> 03:38:07,752
to take another shot at it. I first started listening

3323
03:38:07,792 --> 03:38:09,733
to No Agenda back in the COVID days. I was

3324
03:38:09,813 --> 03:38:12,815
confused and frustrated by our response to the virus, as

3325
03:38:12,895 --> 03:38:15,177
it didn't make any sense. me and hearing your takes

3326
03:38:15,257 --> 03:38:17,439
on Rogan convinced me to give the show a listen.

3327
03:38:18,099 --> 03:38:21,541
I finally fell in love with No Agenda. The format

3328
03:38:21,581 --> 03:38:23,603
of the show, the way the news was deconstructed, the

3329
03:38:23,663 --> 03:38:26,745
fun jingles, the whole presentation was amazing and I've been

3330
03:38:26,745 --> 03:38:29,167
a loyal listener since. But I must admit, while I

3331
03:38:29,247 --> 03:38:31,828
came for Adam Curry, I stayed for John T. Dvorak.

3332
03:38:32,569 --> 03:38:34,911
I didn't know about his full career before I started

3333
03:38:34,970 --> 03:38:37,272
listening, but I loved his deep knowledge of tech and

3334
03:38:37,312 --> 03:38:41,155
politics. His snarky comments always made me laugh and his

3335
03:38:41,275 --> 03:38:45,758
fun stories, experiences and insights great to hear. In fact,

3336
03:38:45,838 --> 03:38:48,740
the font of this email is Georgia, one that John

3337
03:38:48,840 --> 03:38:52,422
recommended. Every episode, I look forward to whatever smart-ass comment

3338
03:38:52,482 --> 03:38:55,044
John would have chambered, knowing it would make me smile.

3339
03:38:55,164 --> 03:38:57,366
Thank you so much, Adam, for introducing him to me.

3340
03:38:58,106 --> 03:39:00,688
Whenever I hear some news model or talk show guest

3341
03:39:00,768 --> 03:39:02,749
talk about how horrible it would be in the U.S.

3342
03:39:02,930 --> 03:39:05,731
if the U.S. didn't fund some BS program, I'll hear

3343
03:39:05,892 --> 03:39:10,695
John sarcastically screaming, oh no, in the background. Whenever I

3344
03:39:10,775 --> 03:39:13,717
hear some tech CEO claiming that their new product will

3345
03:39:13,777 --> 03:39:16,659
change the human race forever, I'll think of John saying,

3346
03:39:17,039 --> 03:39:20,441
I'm smelling ketamine. I'll be thinking of John when I

3347
03:39:20,542 --> 03:39:24,945
watch Sumo, wondering if he would be happy that Aokinishi-ki

3348
03:39:25,365 --> 03:39:29,107
has regained his Ozeki title. I think he would be.

3349
03:39:29,708 --> 03:39:32,170
My family and I moved to Osaka, Japan about a

3350
03:39:32,230 --> 03:39:34,831
year and a half ago. Disconnecting from the U.S. corporate

3351
03:39:34,851 --> 03:39:37,533
media and social media in general has shrunk my amygdala

3352
03:39:37,793 --> 03:39:40,875
to the perfect size. Listening to No Agenda regularly would

3353
03:39:40,915 --> 03:39:43,597
get me the real news coming out of the States,

3354
03:39:44,118 --> 03:39:48,020
the media deconstruction continues in some form. I can't think

3355
03:39:48,060 --> 03:39:50,222
of anyone who does it better than you. I will

3356
03:39:50,262 --> 03:39:53,004
be supporting you the entire way. My deepest condolences to

3357
03:39:53,084 --> 03:39:56,066
you, the Dvorak family, and everyone affected by his loss.

3358
03:39:56,126 --> 03:39:58,648
Thank you for the years of insights and laughter. John,

3359
03:39:58,788 --> 03:39:59,988
I wish it could have been me.

3360
03:40:00,020 --> 03:40:07,725
More. Augusto Andreoli, $350.93. Now, ITM Adam, Mimi, everyone, my

3361
03:40:07,785 --> 03:40:11,407
heartfelt condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. Come on,

3362
03:40:11,487 --> 03:40:15,350
JCD, this was not the exit strategy we wanted. Adam,

3363
03:40:15,390 --> 03:40:17,792
your opening monologue brought me to tears. Feels like I

3364
03:40:17,892 --> 03:40:20,654
lost a grandfather. In the past two years, you guys

3365
03:40:20,714 --> 03:40:22,835
have become part of my life with weekly news and

3366
03:40:22,915 --> 03:40:27,438
silly humor. This donation of $333.33 plus fees makes me

3367
03:40:27,518 --> 03:40:31,861
a knight, Sir Britalian. No requests, only the prayers jingle

3368
03:40:31,941 --> 03:40:36,324
for us all. Long live John C. Dvorak. to call

3369
03:40:36,484 --> 03:40:40,207
bull crap on the m5m and he finishes with thank

3370
03:40:40,267 --> 03:40:44,770
you for your courage and i have the The prayers

3371
03:40:44,910 --> 03:40:51,595
jingle for you. Here we go. You've got it. Prayers.

3372
03:40:55,717 --> 03:41:00,781
Russian Card Trick Guy, 35093. Hey, Adabin, everyone. My sincerest

3373
03:41:00,801 --> 03:41:03,263
condolences for the heavy loss of an incredible man. Your

3374
03:41:03,343 --> 03:41:06,084
show and John were an amazing and calming influence throughout

3375
03:41:06,125 --> 03:41:09,547
my life. The stories, the easygoing attitude of this has

3376
03:41:09,647 --> 03:41:13,550
happened before, made the world feel understandable. My wife, who

3377
03:41:13,630 --> 03:41:17,712
occasionally listens, loved John's stories, reactions, and quips to the

3378
03:41:17,772 --> 03:41:19,974
point where she was questioning whether she is truly a

3379
03:41:20,074 --> 03:41:23,116
cranky old man on the inside. It was a pleasure

3380
03:41:23,136 --> 03:41:25,818
to meet John at the Seattle meetup in August 2018.

3381
03:41:26,318 --> 03:41:29,260
On the next show, 1059, he referred to me as

3382
03:41:29,601 --> 03:41:33,283
the Russian card trick guy, which was hilarious. I will

3383
03:41:33,343 --> 03:41:35,364
say it was hard to impress him, even with my

3384
03:41:35,445 --> 03:41:39,027
best close-up material, but that was expected for someone with

3385
03:41:39,067 --> 03:41:44,291
such incredible life experience as JCD. Donating $333.33, magic number,

3386
03:41:44,371 --> 03:41:49,174
plus fees, and would love to be de-douched. You've been

3387
03:41:49,334 --> 03:41:55,078
de-douched. And then he asks for also a baby delivery

3388
03:41:55,198 --> 03:41:58,841
karma, which we have some baby karma for you here.

3389
03:42:01,342 --> 03:42:09,408
You've got... Karma. As my wife and I are having

3390
03:42:09,428 --> 03:42:11,689
our second in November, prayers for all, love and light,

3391
03:42:11,709 --> 03:42:15,112
the Russian card trick guy. Sir Lavish the Red, Concord,

3392
03:42:15,172 --> 03:42:19,014
California, 350.58. We know that's 333 plus fees now. For

3393
03:42:19,054 --> 03:42:21,776
some reason, it's different for everybody. Thank you, Adam, Mimi,

3394
03:42:21,916 --> 03:42:25,138
family. I send in one clip about the wine, clip

3395
03:42:25,178 --> 03:42:28,040
attached, Pinot Grigio. There are many others who sent in

3396
03:42:28,140 --> 03:42:30,162
good clips over the years, and I love them. John

3397
03:42:30,242 --> 03:42:32,744
is a Bay Area legend. Insanely grateful to know him

3398
03:42:32,784 --> 03:42:35,145
and his family. Sir Lavish the Red, and that clip

3399
03:42:35,185 --> 03:42:37,647
will be passed on to Darren and Larry for future

3400
03:42:37,707 --> 03:42:52,707
shows. Sir Lawrence of Dystopia, Oakland, California, 350. Thank you.

3401
03:43:14,032 --> 03:43:16,233
Oh, I'm sure he did. And he didn't share it

3402
03:43:16,253 --> 03:43:19,035
with me. I'm also grateful to have had the opportunity

3403
03:43:19,095 --> 03:43:21,217
to hoist a few drinks with him and the knowage

3404
03:43:21,277 --> 03:43:23,878
in the nation that attended the Northern Silicon Valley meetups.

3405
03:43:23,918 --> 03:43:26,580
I will definitely attend the next meetup at Pizzeria Violetta,

3406
03:43:26,680 --> 03:43:30,643
come hell, high water, or broken elevators. Lastly, what truly

3407
03:43:30,703 --> 03:43:33,085
impressed me about John, in addition to his vast body

3408
03:43:33,165 --> 03:43:35,807
of work and natural talent, was his family that he

3409
03:43:35,927 --> 03:43:38,188
and Mimi have raised. You guys are like the Von

3410
03:43:38,268 --> 03:43:42,031
Trapp family singers. There's a callback. I know that with

3411
03:43:42,071 --> 03:43:44,232
the talent of the Dvorak family, and Adam, the No

3412
03:43:44,312 --> 03:43:47,495
Agenda podcast will carry on. And he wants some mac

3413
03:43:47,595 --> 03:43:50,517
and cheese slaves and ants. Love and light, Sir Lawrence

3414
03:43:50,597 --> 03:43:55,340
of Dystopia, Baron of Maxwell Park, Kilo Oscar 6 Echo

3415
03:43:55,520 --> 03:44:02,345
Juliet Echo. Eric Renaud from Sutton, Massachusetts, 343.75. Godspeed, John.

3416
03:44:02,405 --> 03:44:05,307
He says, you will be missed. The Dalton family, Lockwood,

3417
03:44:05,747 --> 03:44:09,990
Missouri, 343.75. John was a one of a kind. He

3418
03:44:10,030 --> 03:44:11,971
will be deeply missed. Our thoughts go out to his

3419
03:44:11,991 --> 03:44:15,794
family. Regards from the Dalton family. Chris and Leslie of

3420
03:44:15,954 --> 03:44:20,437
Fluffy Bottoms Farm in Driftwood, Texas, 34375. We read the

3421
03:44:20,517 --> 03:44:22,158
news and it hit us like a ton of bricks.

3422
03:44:22,699 --> 03:44:26,401
Episode 1888 was a tough listen. Adam, your opening made

3423
03:44:26,461 --> 03:44:29,003
us cry. The stories and clips were just what we

3424
03:44:29,083 --> 03:44:33,726
needed in this sad, tough time. Others have said this,

3425
03:44:33,806 --> 03:44:36,648
but it's crazy how John impacted all of us and

3426
03:44:36,688 --> 03:44:38,750
we would weep and feel such a huge loss for

3427
03:44:38,809 --> 03:44:41,291
someone that we had never met. We are sending love

3428
03:44:41,331 --> 03:44:45,734
and prayers to Mimi, the family, Adam and Tina, We

3429
03:44:45,814 --> 03:44:48,356
will miss JCD but feel so blessed and lucky to

3430
03:44:48,416 --> 03:44:51,398
have decades of great memories through his writing and podcast.

3431
03:44:51,518 --> 03:44:54,380
Love from Chris and Leslie of Fluffy Bottoms Farm in

3432
03:44:54,440 --> 03:45:00,704
Driftwood, Texas. Grant Shuler in Cincinnati, Ohio, 343.75. I'm so

3433
03:45:00,825 --> 03:45:02,806
glad I was hit in the mouth with this podcast

3434
03:45:02,886 --> 03:45:05,428
and have learned a ton while listening over the past

3435
03:45:05,508 --> 03:45:09,210
six years. Thank you, JCD. You the man, dog. And

3436
03:45:09,250 --> 03:45:13,053
I'll read this one from Sean C. Ryan of Volente,

3437
03:45:13,133 --> 03:45:19,177
Texas. Another war and peace, but... is good. As a

3438
03:45:19,237 --> 03:45:23,520
proud No Agenda show producer and family member coming up

3439
03:45:23,620 --> 03:45:25,682
on a year, I've been struggling with much grief since

3440
03:45:25,742 --> 03:45:28,463
learning of John C. Dvorak's passing earlier this week. God,

3441
03:45:28,864 --> 03:45:32,886
I miss him. His reason, wisdom, biting wit, dry acerbic

3442
03:45:32,986 --> 03:45:39,551
humor, experienced hardened insights, consistent grousing, unbridled skepticism, and curmudgeonly

3443
03:45:39,631 --> 03:45:44,094
demeanor. All those prickly idiosyncrasies, he gracefully filled the role

3444
03:45:44,154 --> 03:45:47,797
of a sensible contrarian, a true grouchy gentleman and scholar.

3445
03:45:48,377 --> 03:45:51,399
My sincere condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with Dvorak and

3446
03:45:51,439 --> 03:45:54,161
Curry families and with the broader No Agenda producer community.

3447
03:45:54,621 --> 03:45:58,144
I consider all of you my first responders. I shackle

3448
03:45:58,224 --> 03:46:00,525
myself to every show and wait each week with bated

3449
03:46:00,605 --> 03:46:03,527
breath for the next episodes. JC and Adam formed a

3450
03:46:03,587 --> 03:46:07,230
duo unmatched in the mainstream media. Their quibbling, banter, and

3451
03:46:07,810 --> 03:46:14,335
jocularity is deliciously entertaining while delivering thought-provoking MSM deconstruction. This

3452
03:46:14,435 --> 03:46:17,037
is why the No Agenda show is the greatest podcast

3453
03:46:17,137 --> 03:46:21,099
in the universe. it going. The news of JCD's passing

3454
03:46:21,279 --> 03:46:24,982
was communicated to me by my 25-year-old Gen Z son,

3455
03:46:25,162 --> 03:46:28,865
my only child, via text on Tuesday. My first thought,

3456
03:46:29,025 --> 03:46:31,486
really my hope, was that it might be some gambit

3457
03:46:31,646 --> 03:46:35,329
and atomism cooked up by JCD to boost donations. I

3458
03:46:35,449 --> 03:46:38,011
so deeply wish that was true. I called my son

3459
03:46:38,091 --> 03:46:40,272
later that day to talk about what this loss meant

3460
03:46:40,292 --> 03:46:42,033
to both of us. He told me that he had

3461
03:46:42,074 --> 03:46:44,755
recently begun listening to every No Agenda episode from the

3462
03:46:44,835 --> 03:46:48,198
very first one, simply because he wanted to be entertained

3463
03:46:48,218 --> 03:46:50,499
in enlightened by the full breadth of the Noah Jenner

3464
03:46:50,519 --> 03:46:53,862
Show podcast in all the varied and sundry episodes. I'm

3465
03:46:53,942 --> 03:46:56,944
truly proud of this fine young lad. At the risk

3466
03:46:57,044 --> 03:47:01,047
of arousing JCD's legendary buzz-killing grousing, I'll add two brief

3467
03:47:01,167 --> 03:47:04,669
personal notes. First, after hearing him and Adam question why

3468
03:47:04,809 --> 03:47:09,472
Texans preferred Keb Paxson over John Cornyn, I emailed John

3469
03:47:09,532 --> 03:47:14,095
with boots-on-the-ground insight explaining why most sensible Texans found Cornyn

3470
03:47:14,215 --> 03:47:17,738
a proven rhino and were willing to accept Paxson's baggage.

3471
03:47:18,078 --> 03:47:25,063
What politician doesn't have some? They shipped... Excuse me. They

3472
03:47:25,143 --> 03:47:28,265
shifted their stance in the next show. Maybe I played

3473
03:47:28,325 --> 03:47:30,987
a small part, maybe not. Either way, it felt like

3474
03:47:30,987 --> 03:47:35,090
a contribution. Second, I recently sent JCD a LinkedIn request,

3475
03:47:35,230 --> 03:47:38,132
half expecting no reply from someone of his stature. He

3476
03:47:38,212 --> 03:47:42,114
accepted on July 16th, 2026, only 10 days before the

3477
03:47:42,174 --> 03:47:45,637
news that now compounds my profound sadness. I had hoped

3478
03:47:45,717 --> 03:47:48,679
and planned to meet JCD in person one day. I

3479
03:47:48,739 --> 03:47:50,240
guess we'll have to wait until I'm on the other

3480
03:47:50,320 --> 03:47:54,863
side of the pearly gates with him. and his lovely

3481
03:47:54,943 --> 03:47:57,485
keeper, Tina, at a no agenda meetup in Fredericksburg last

3482
03:47:57,625 --> 03:48:01,408
April. Rest in peace, John C. Dvorak, JCD. I see

3483
03:48:01,448 --> 03:48:05,430
an M dash there, suspicious. Legendary buzzkill, a good sir.

3484
03:48:05,490 --> 03:48:09,733
He wants an F cancer. With much love and admiration,

3485
03:48:10,134 --> 03:48:13,556
ITM from the Gitmo Nation and beyond, Sean C. Ryan

3486
03:48:13,936 --> 03:48:16,638
of Volente. And I got the F cancer for him.

3487
03:48:21,381 --> 03:48:25,564
You've got karma. JC, you want to take over? Thomas

3488
03:48:25,584 --> 03:48:31,328
Schaefer. Unknown location. $333.80. Thanks for all the times you

3489
03:48:31,448 --> 03:48:34,030
literally made me laugh out loud, not to mention think

3490
03:48:34,090 --> 03:48:37,052
more critically. I've been listening since I finished college in

3491
03:48:37,832 --> 03:48:40,114
09 and knew a day like this would come, but

3492
03:48:40,174 --> 03:48:42,696
not that the hole would be this deep. Rest in

3493
03:48:42,756 --> 03:48:50,241
peace, John. Viscount Dame G Money. $333.33. I feel like

3494
03:48:50,281 --> 03:48:53,083
I've lost my cranky grandpa. My favorite jingle will forever

3495
03:48:53,143 --> 03:48:55,685
be John Grussing about how the only real phone is

3496
03:48:55,725 --> 03:48:58,887
a landline and it's made of Bakelite. Rest in peace,

3497
03:48:58,927 --> 03:49:07,433
JCD. Love is lit. Luca Dusak in Bastanj, Slovenia, I

3498
03:49:07,533 --> 03:49:16,739
suspect. Rest in peace, legend. Andrew O'Donohue, Smeaton. Saskatchewan. Um...

3499
03:49:17,479 --> 03:49:20,381
In the morning from Saskatchewan, Canada. I cannot properly put

3500
03:49:20,422 --> 03:49:23,464
into words how much Adam and John... through No Agenda

3501
03:49:23,524 --> 03:49:25,685
have made a positive impact on my life. I discovered

3502
03:49:25,685 --> 03:49:27,766
No Agenda during COVID, and it played a massive role

3503
03:49:27,827 --> 03:49:30,188
in helping me maintain my sanity while living in Canada,

3504
03:49:30,468 --> 03:49:33,851
where the government went nuts, more so than usual. They

3505
03:49:33,911 --> 03:49:37,133
have been my number one listen ever since. The loss

3506
03:49:37,153 --> 03:49:40,095
of John is certainly painful. I'll miss hearing him twice

3507
03:49:40,095 --> 03:49:43,097
a week. His wit and insight into world affairs complimented

3508
03:49:43,137 --> 03:49:45,919
Adam's so well. I pray that Mimi and family will

3509
03:49:45,959 --> 03:49:47,960
find some measure of comfort during this time of loss.

3510
03:49:48,220 --> 03:49:49,661
Thank you for all that you do to help the

3511
03:49:49,721 --> 03:49:57,567
show. Sincerely, Andrew O'Donoghue Sir Wild Bill, Alexandria, Virginia Yeah.

3512
03:49:58,067 --> 03:49:59,948
Uh, 333?

3513
03:50:00,160 --> 03:50:04,222
33 cents. About John. Temporal separation is temporary. Here's to

3514
03:50:04,322 --> 03:50:06,724
our next meetup with John in eternity. Sir Wild Bill,

3515
03:50:06,784 --> 03:50:09,066
Liberator of California, Red Knight of the Sacred Heart. God

3516
03:50:09,126 --> 03:50:15,330
bless you, John. David Asari, West Hollywood, California. 333.33 cents.

3517
03:50:16,210 --> 03:50:17,832
When I read the news about JCD, I thought it

3518
03:50:17,852 --> 03:50:19,533
was a sick joke because of the lie about his

3519
03:50:19,713 --> 03:50:21,894
age, which I was not aware of. I'll miss him

3520
03:50:21,994 --> 03:50:27,398
so much. No homo. Are you able to read this?

3521
03:50:28,499 --> 03:50:29,680
I can read this one. It's a nice long one.

3522
03:50:30,880 --> 03:50:36,885
Dane Pluma of beautiful Wailea, Hawaii. $333.33. To my No

3523
03:50:36,945 --> 03:50:40,107
Agenda Ohana. When work keeps me from listening live to

3524
03:50:40,147 --> 03:50:43,089
my bi-weekly media deconstruction from the best podcast in the

3525
03:50:43,109 --> 03:50:45,450
universe, I save the entire show for a long walk

3526
03:50:45,531 --> 03:50:47,792
by the sea. It is tempting to cheat and start

3527
03:50:47,872 --> 03:50:50,014
late at night, but No Agenda is best consumed from

3528
03:50:50,054 --> 03:50:53,796
beginning to end, in my personal opinion. So, on the

3529
03:50:53,816 --> 03:50:55,537
first Thursday of the week, I woke up ready for

3530
03:50:55,577 --> 03:50:58,099
my wisdom fix from the voices of my favorite duo.

3531
03:50:58,439 --> 03:51:02,502
Fanny pack secured, I opened fountain. because non-legacy podcast providers

3532
03:51:02,542 --> 03:51:06,665
are superior, and pulled up show 1,888. The title was

3533
03:51:06,765 --> 03:51:09,427
jarring. That seems a little dark even for John, I

3534
03:51:09,487 --> 03:51:11,968
thought. Then I saw the artwork, the candle, the empty

3535
03:51:12,029 --> 03:51:15,571
table, the illuminated microphone, the dates. No, no, no. I

3536
03:51:15,671 --> 03:51:17,712
crumpled to the floor and stared for an ungodly amount

3537
03:51:17,732 --> 03:51:19,714
of time, waiting for my brain to catch up. Like

3538
03:51:19,774 --> 03:51:23,797
many, I hoped it was some macabre trick. Eventually, I

3539
03:51:23,857 --> 03:51:25,798
mustered the courage to hit play. The tone had shifted.

3540
03:51:26,038 --> 03:51:28,720
Something, someone was missing. The tears poured out of me.

3541
03:51:29,300 --> 03:51:31,462
I picked myself up and walked into the sunlight. As

3542
03:51:31,502 --> 03:51:34,044
the voices, stories, jingles, and memories continued, so did I.

3543
03:51:34,684 --> 03:51:37,186
The sky looked brighter. The ocean looked deeper. The world

3544
03:51:37,266 --> 03:51:40,968
felt quieter. John, I could fill pages with what you

3545
03:51:41,028 --> 03:51:44,411
taught me, how hard you made me laugh, and how

3546
03:51:44,451 --> 03:51:46,792
much better I am because of the years spent listening

3547
03:51:46,812 --> 03:51:49,874
to you. Instead, I offer your soaring spirit, your tremendous

3548
03:51:49,934 --> 03:51:53,217
family, Adam and Olive Gitmo Nation, the Hawaiian prayer of

3549
03:51:53,257 --> 03:51:57,900
Ho'oponopono. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I

3550
03:51:57,980 --> 03:51:59,861
love you. The only downer is that I will never

3551
03:51:59,881 --> 03:52:02,663
hear you suffer through the Hawaiian pronunciation, which is identical

3552
03:52:02,723 --> 03:52:05,965
to Spanish. And frankly, you were terrible at it. Adam

3553
03:52:06,005 --> 03:52:08,907
has an excuse, but John, you're from California. In parting,

3554
03:52:08,927 --> 03:52:10,248
I want you to know from the bottom of my

3555
03:52:10,308 --> 03:52:14,371
heart, this is hurting the show. Yours, in past, present,

3556
03:52:14,431 --> 03:52:18,174
and future, Dame Pluma, Protectorate of the Feathered Whales, PhD,

3557
03:52:18,554 --> 03:52:23,337
Wailea, Maui, Hawaii. Hey, JC, I really want to fix

3558
03:52:23,397 --> 03:52:25,699
your audio because it's just bugging the crap out of

3559
03:52:25,739 --> 03:52:27,300
me. Oh, no, what's going on right now? Well, it

3560
03:52:27,300 --> 03:52:29,621
was so good before, but now you have like no

3561
03:52:29,742 --> 03:52:32,563
level and it sounds really indirect. Are you on the

3562
03:52:32,584 --> 03:52:36,366
right mic? You're sure you're on the right one? seeing

3563
03:52:36,406 --> 03:52:38,628
if I just need to reposition it. How's that? Yeah,

3564
03:52:38,668 --> 03:52:41,370
can you turn it up a little bit? Uh, yeah,

3565
03:52:41,530 --> 03:52:45,933
let me try that. Includes your gain, man. How's that?

3566
03:52:47,013 --> 03:52:50,255
Yeah, and I hear like a fan still somewhere. There's

3567
03:52:50,356 --> 03:52:54,999
no fan now. But I could rock the chair some

3568
03:52:55,019 --> 03:52:58,721
more. Yeah, please. That would help. That's better, JC. That's

3569
03:52:58,741 --> 03:53:02,124
better. All right, it's better? Yeah, even a little more

3570
03:53:02,224 --> 03:53:08,008
would be good for me. More. More! More! More! More!

3571
03:53:08,128 --> 03:53:09,989
I want more! Let me see what I get in

3572
03:53:10,029 --> 03:53:13,331
the back of this thing. No, this one kind of

3573
03:53:13,371 --> 03:53:15,473
sucks. I'm going to get one of the microphones from

3574
03:53:16,153 --> 03:53:19,536
the archives and swap it out for next show. Okay,

3575
03:53:19,716 --> 03:53:23,138
good. All right. Well, let me continue while you fix

3576
03:53:23,278 --> 03:53:27,921
that. Corey Baker, Fort Myers, Florida. And JC, mute yourself

3577
03:53:28,001 --> 03:53:29,923
when you're not on so I don't have the background

3578
03:53:29,963 --> 03:53:38,368
noise. Yeah. you all right go Brennan so bossy hey

3579
03:53:38,929 --> 03:53:48,375
it's like he thinks he's in charge We're not AV

3580
03:53:48,395 --> 03:53:51,377
people. People actually listen to these things all the way

3581
03:53:51,457 --> 03:53:53,759
through, so I want them to have the best experiences

3582
03:53:53,879 --> 03:53:58,342
I can give them. Okay. Corey Baker from Fort Myers,

3583
03:53:58,422 --> 03:54:05,147
Florida. $333.33. I've been in a melancholy daze since hearing

3584
03:54:05,167 --> 03:54:08,109
of John's passing. This show has been an anchor in

3585
03:54:08,149 --> 03:54:10,490
my life since 2012, and for that I am eternally

3586
03:54:10,510 --> 03:54:14,573
grateful. Adam and John have gotten me through some of

3587
03:54:14,573 --> 03:54:18,476
the hardest times of my life. I rebuilt our home

3588
03:54:18,756 --> 03:54:22,118
after a hurricane, Ian, with your voices in my ears.

3589
03:54:22,298 --> 03:54:24,820
I lost my father a year ago, and No Agenda

3590
03:54:24,900 --> 03:54:27,542
was there with me for the road trip back to

3591
03:54:27,642 --> 03:54:30,324
our hometown. My heart goes out to the Dvorak and

3592
03:54:30,364 --> 03:54:32,886
Curry families and to the rest of No Agenda Nation.

3593
03:54:33,366 --> 03:54:41,531
RIP JCD. Godspeed. Commodore Corey. Jean-Pierre Codiguil from Sao Paulo,

3594
03:54:42,212 --> 03:54:45,434
Spain. No, it's Brazil. I just don't know any of

3595
03:54:45,434 --> 03:54:50,277
the states in Brazil. In the morning, please de-douche me

3596
03:54:50,578 --> 03:54:53,039
as this is just my second donation since I found

3597
03:54:53,179 --> 03:54:56,582
out the best podcast in the universe through your appearance

3598
03:54:56,802 --> 03:54:59,944
on the Tom Woods Show back in 2020 during the

3599
03:55:00,084 --> 03:55:09,570
COVID craziness. You've been de-douched. Sending condolences to you, Mimi,

3600
03:55:09,731 --> 03:55:12,032
and the No Agenda family on the loss of John.

3601
03:55:12,973 --> 03:55:14,974
Thank you both for everything over the years. Long live

3602
03:55:15,014 --> 03:55:19,677
the show. Sir John of South London from London, which

3603
03:55:19,757 --> 03:55:25,181
is in London in Great Britain. With $333.33, dear Adam,

3604
03:55:25,301 --> 03:55:28,203
Mimi, and the Dvorak clan, I first came across John

3605
03:55:28,483 --> 03:55:32,486
on The Sight, which aired on MSNBC in the mid-90s.

3606
03:55:33,006 --> 03:55:35,708
I've kept track of his various pieces of work, spanning

3607
03:55:35,768 --> 03:55:40,412
PCMag, Cranky Geeks, Twit, and of course, No Agenda. 30

3608
03:55:40,452 --> 03:55:43,153
years is a long time when I look back. changed

3609
03:55:43,273 --> 03:55:46,996
house many a time and even changed nationalities. When I

3610
03:55:47,016 --> 03:55:52,380
received last week's newsletter informing us of JCD's untimely passing

3611
03:55:52,480 --> 03:55:57,183
away, I thought it was his latest and Puppy's ruse.

3612
03:55:58,864 --> 03:56:02,066
Sadly, as I continued reading the email, it was no

3613
03:56:02,186 --> 03:56:04,408
joke. It feels like a part of my life has

3614
03:56:04,448 --> 03:56:07,610
gone away, but I've got the memories to keep JCD

3615
03:56:07,750 --> 03:56:12,253
alive. I will fondly remember JCD's visit to London in

3616
03:56:12,253 --> 03:56:15,656
2017. I've attached a photo to share with you and

3617
03:56:15,676 --> 03:56:18,778
the Dvorak family to boot. Here's one of you when

3618
03:56:19,018 --> 03:56:24,121
you were here in London in 2018. Oh, goodness, yes.

3619
03:56:24,201 --> 03:56:30,386
Oh, my goodness. theme. RIP JCD, you are one of

3620
03:56:30,446 --> 03:56:35,169
a kind, a real cranky, but absolutely endearing gink. With

3621
03:56:35,209 --> 03:56:40,693
the deepest condolences, regards, Sir John of South London. Sir

3622
03:56:40,753 --> 03:56:47,297
Fast Eddie, with no location, with $333.33. This is from

3623
03:56:47,457 --> 03:56:50,499
Alameda. Does he say from Alameda? Where? Right there, in

3624
03:56:50,619 --> 03:56:54,082
Baronet of Alameda. Oh, wow. Oh, Baronet of Alameda, the

3625
03:56:54,162 --> 03:56:57,964
islands. RIP JCD, thank you for all you've given me.

3626
03:56:58,145 --> 03:57:00,746
over the past six years. I will deeply miss our

3627
03:57:00,826 --> 03:57:05,690
meetup conversations about numerology and that kids can't read tape

3628
03:57:05,750 --> 03:57:08,832
measures. The lens you've given me will be a tool

3629
03:57:09,172 --> 03:57:11,073
I use for the rest of my life. I will

3630
03:57:11,093 --> 03:57:13,135
miss you at least twice a week and every time

3631
03:57:13,215 --> 03:57:15,957
I eat nuts on an airplane. I used to carry

3632
03:57:16,037 --> 03:57:18,258
bags of nuts when I traveled just in case I

3633
03:57:18,358 --> 03:57:21,020
sat down next to JCD on a plane. I will

3634
03:57:21,060 --> 03:57:23,962
pray that we finish our conversation about banning peanuts on

3635
03:57:24,042 --> 03:57:27,364
airplanes when we meet again upstairs. A final favor from

3636
03:57:27,384 --> 03:57:30,527
the nation. to create a giant photo collage for the

3637
03:57:30,607 --> 03:57:34,269

3638
03:57:34,749 --> 03:57:38,612

3647
03:58:12,735 --> 03:58:20,421
boobs. Sir Christabal from Dallas, Texas, $333.33. Confession, during times

3648
03:58:20,461 --> 03:58:23,783
of low donations, John never hesitated to call producers out

3649
03:58:23,903 --> 03:58:26,325
on it. Each time my eyes would roll and I'd

3650
03:58:26,365 --> 03:58:30,167
think to myself, here comes JCD whining. What I would

3651
03:58:30,207 --> 03:58:34,290
give to hear his belly aching again. RIP JCDs or

3652
03:58:34,450 --> 03:58:41,435
Cristobal. Michael Rulon, Austin, Texas. $333.33. Sorry to hear about

3653
03:58:41,495 --> 03:58:45,478
JCD. Please share some F-cancer karma with the No Agenda

3654
03:58:45,538 --> 03:58:58,106
Nation. You've got karma. Eddie Sanders from El Bear, Colorado.

3655
03:58:58,487 --> 03:59:02,689
$333.33. I know this letter will find you well. Only

3656
03:59:02,749 --> 03:59:05,832
Bakelite's where you are now. You have been pissing me

3657
03:59:05,952 --> 03:59:09,514
off since the back pages of PC World. Then, years

3658
03:59:09,574 --> 03:59:12,296
later, I found you joyously killing the buzz twice a

3659
03:59:12,356 --> 03:59:16,099
week. Expertly done. Rest knowing you will never have to

3660
03:59:16,239 --> 03:59:19,861
dedouche another. Adam, I am so sorry you are left

3661
03:59:19,901 --> 03:59:23,243
with a burden, but it is time to de-douche high

3662
03:59:23,344 --> 03:59:31,729
test. You've been de-douched. Also, Adam, you will need to

3663
03:59:31,769 --> 03:59:35,172
continue to investigate and report on the oral contents of

3664
03:59:35,192 --> 03:59:39,875
the others. Oh, okay. More... Right. Yeah, what's in your

3665
03:59:39,915 --> 03:59:45,699
mouth? More, more years. What is that? Yak karma, please.

3666
03:59:46,439 --> 03:59:49,021
Oh, yak karma. Hold on a second. Where's my yak

3667
03:59:49,181 --> 03:59:56,466
karma? Here we go. You've got... karma.

3668
04:00:00,120 --> 04:00:03,542
And then this one, it's too big. I'm so sorry.

3669
04:00:03,622 --> 04:00:05,423
No, no, I got it. It's from the Duke of

3670
04:00:05,443 --> 04:00:08,725
the South, Sir Patrick Coble. Happy to read it. Okay.

3671
04:00:09,246 --> 04:00:11,607
Howdy again to the Dvorak clan and Adam. You know,

3672
04:00:11,727 --> 04:00:14,349
Patrick Coble has been such a staple of the show

3673
04:00:14,569 --> 04:00:18,212
and the meetups in particular everywhere around the world. I

3674
04:00:18,292 --> 04:00:20,313
wanted to make sure I sent one last note because

3675
04:00:20,333 --> 04:00:22,775
John always knew people are behind on the newsletters and

3676
04:00:22,835 --> 04:00:25,497
spam monster eats emails, so you have to stretch the

3677
04:00:25,537 --> 04:00:28,239
promos out a bit. Y'all did an amazing job with

3678
04:00:28,239 --> 04:00:31,521
the show 1888. He would be proud of all you

3679
04:00:31,621 --> 04:00:34,183
did to team up and get through everything. And he

3680
04:00:34,203 --> 04:00:36,544
would have had a grin a couple of times with

3681
04:00:37,245 --> 04:00:40,827
all the good things being said about him. No agenda

3682
04:00:40,907 --> 04:00:43,789
and their favorite John moments. I talked to many people

3683
04:00:43,889 --> 04:00:45,671
after and everyone said it was like we were all

3684
04:00:45,731 --> 04:00:48,292
at a celebration of life together with a family and

3685
04:00:48,372 --> 04:00:50,614
feeling like we were part of that family too. But

3686
04:00:50,654 --> 04:00:54,116
when Raven came out of Club 33, I knew it

3687
04:00:54,136 --> 04:00:56,378
was going to be a great show along with some

3688
04:00:56,418 --> 04:00:59,600
of the celebrities. appearances too. Yes, we had billionaires, millionaires,

3689
04:00:59,660 --> 04:01:03,463
and paupers. It was great. After that show, I thought

3690
04:01:03,483 --> 04:01:05,324
about a saying that Adam and I have heard a

3691
04:01:05,384 --> 04:01:07,486
lot in our church circles that was brought out on

3692
04:01:07,505 --> 04:01:09,687
the show a couple times after Adam came back to

3693
04:01:09,747 --> 04:01:13,530
the church. I was never there. There are no coincidences

3694
04:01:13,690 --> 04:01:16,211
in the kingdom. After hearing the last show, I couldn't

3695
04:01:16,231 --> 04:01:18,353
agree with it anymore. We are all here at this

3696
04:01:18,453 --> 04:01:20,654
moment because of a huge series of events in our

3697
04:01:20,775 --> 04:01:23,356
own journeys in our lives. Some roads were longer and

3698
04:01:23,416 --> 04:01:27,719
windier, and the number of bumps varied too, but we

3699
04:01:27,799 --> 04:01:30,941
are here now. The tech that came out over the

3700
04:01:31,022 --> 04:01:33,783
years that John criticized but also loved is a major

3701
04:01:33,843 --> 04:01:36,625
part of what No Agenda Nation is here. Podcasting can

3702
04:01:36,705 --> 04:01:39,968
be attributed to the podfather himself, Adam Curry, not to

3703
04:01:40,008 --> 04:01:43,090
be confused with Adam Carolla, a radio and music nerd

3704
04:01:43,230 --> 04:01:45,371
who was on the internet the same time John was,

3705
04:01:45,451 --> 04:01:49,194
but going after other dreams with websites until he asked

3706
04:01:49,254 --> 04:01:53,097
Dave Weiner to modify RSS architecture so large audio files

3707
04:01:53,517 --> 04:01:55,758
could attach to web feeds. And with the help of

3708
04:01:55,818 --> 04:01:58,700
some other nerds, we now have podcasting. Adam didn't stop

3709
04:01:58,800 --> 04:02:03,123
there. going, decentralizing to protect it from censorship. Who would

3710
04:02:03,143 --> 04:02:05,985
have thought a pirate radio kid turned nerd would help

3711
04:02:06,085 --> 04:02:08,707
come up with podcasting, the exact medium that he would

3712
04:02:08,747 --> 04:02:12,550
meet his best friend turned brother, John C. Dvorak. The

3713
04:02:12,590 --> 04:02:15,872
same technology that John reviewed over the years was used

3714
04:02:15,912 --> 04:02:18,474
to record and stream all those shows all over the

3715
04:02:18,514 --> 04:02:22,116
world. John and Adam are true podcasting superheroes for the

3716
04:02:22,136 --> 04:02:25,038
whole world. Things happen exactly like they were supposed to

3717
04:02:25,098 --> 04:02:28,261
make Noah Gendon Nation happen. There are no coincidences in

3718
04:02:28,341 --> 04:02:31,143
the kingdom. I'm thankful Adam's work with Curry and the

3719
04:02:31,163 --> 04:02:33,184
Keeper and with Pastor Jimmy on We Get to Do

3720
04:02:33,284 --> 04:02:36,546
This and his work to build the Godcaster app is

3721
04:02:36,626 --> 04:02:51,626
bringing more people to the church. Thank you. Sorry, John,

3722
04:03:13,031 --> 04:03:17,074
again, two long notes in a row. Psalm 34, 18.

3723
04:03:17,694 --> 04:03:20,796
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those

3724
04:03:20,876 --> 04:03:26,080
who are crushed in spirit. Thank you, Sir Patrick. Bill

3725
04:03:26,080 --> 04:03:31,123
Defy from San Francisco, California, 33333. Listener since episode one.

3726
04:03:31,544 --> 04:03:37,988
Please accept this de-douching ketchup donation. You've been de-douched. Thank

3727
04:03:38,068 --> 04:03:40,490
you, John, for all the years of wit and wisdom.

3728
04:03:40,570 --> 04:03:43,472
You'll forever be remembered and missed. Condolences to the family

3729
04:03:43,512 --> 04:03:50,637
of ITM forever. Abnonimous from Neoshow, Wisconsin, 33333. Dear Adam

3730
04:03:50,697 --> 04:03:53,439
and Mimi, according to my accounting, I reached knight status

3731
04:03:53,499 --> 04:03:55,500
a couple of months ago and did not realize that

3732
04:03:55,520 --> 04:03:58,902
this donation brings me halfway to baronet. I'm sending you

3733
04:03:59,002 --> 04:04:01,884
all my deepest, most sincere condolences for the sudden loss

3734
04:04:01,944 --> 04:04:05,227
of JCD. My No Agenda journey began after watching Adam

3735
04:04:05,307 --> 04:04:08,289
on JRE during the COVID madness. I listened to one

3736
04:04:08,329 --> 04:04:10,991
episode of No Agenda and I was hooked. I'm thankful

3737
04:04:11,031 --> 04:04:13,612
for the never-ending well of stories and wisdom that John

3738
04:04:13,732 --> 04:04:28,732
shared week after week. Thank you, Adam. Thank you, John.

3739
04:04:36,068 --> 04:04:48,296
M- again. it revolved around an argument between Adam and

3740
04:04:48,356 --> 04:04:52,119
John about recycling content. Oh no! Mommy and Daddy are

3741
04:04:52,159 --> 04:04:55,261
fighting again! Love and light, Adam, Mimi, and the JCD

3742
04:04:55,401 --> 04:04:58,283
family. You are all in my prayers. P.S. I don't

3743
04:04:58,303 --> 04:05:00,945
think I ever received a proper dedouching, so please dedouche

3744
04:05:01,005 --> 04:05:04,747
me. as done moments ago. Please knight me, Sir Ollie,

3745
04:05:04,847 --> 04:05:08,049
of the effervescent quality, asking for the prayers jingle and

3746
04:05:08,110 --> 04:05:11,412
some Costco wine for the round table. It cuts off

3747
04:05:11,492 --> 04:05:13,573
on mine. Is there anything else besides the Costco wine

3748
04:05:13,793 --> 04:05:17,236
on the round table? Is that it? I think we're

3749
04:05:17,236 --> 04:05:24,461
good. Here we go. You've got it. prayers. And there's

3750
04:05:24,521 --> 04:05:27,062
Sir Johnny B. Goode. I haven't heard from him in

3751
04:05:27,102 --> 04:05:30,625
a while. 333.33. Ah, I know who he is. Adam,

3752
04:05:30,685 --> 04:05:33,847
Mimi, and Company. Of course I know who Sir Johnny

3753
04:05:33,927 --> 04:05:36,649
B. Goode is. We continue to feel great sadness about

3754
04:05:36,729 --> 04:05:39,591
JCD's passing. We are sorry for the gaping hole in

3755
04:05:39,651 --> 04:05:42,633
your lives and are praying God's peace, which passes all

3756
04:05:42,793 --> 04:05:46,876
understanding for all y'all. While I contributed to the last

3757
04:05:46,916 --> 04:05:50,078
show, this additional donation is meant to affirm all JCD's

3758
04:05:50,158 --> 04:05:54,501
contributions to our lives these past years, you in the

3759
04:05:54,521 --> 04:05:57,923

3760
04:05:57,984 --> 04:06:00,385

3761
04:06:00,585 --> 04:06:04,628
and one wavering unwavering sir johnny be good enough of

3762
04:06:04,668 --> 04:06:07,950
the rockies aka one of the focus guys thank you

3763
04:06:07,990 --> 04:06:12,954
john Sir Eric is naked, Seattle, Washington, 33333. In the

3764
04:06:13,114 --> 04:06:16,576
morning, OU, I had the pleasure of meeting fellow producers

3765
04:06:16,696 --> 04:06:22,280
at the Snoqualmie Valley Dvorak Remember Meetup in North Bend,

3766
04:06:22,340 --> 04:06:25,462
Washington, Saturday afternoon. We were caught up in sharing our

3767
04:06:25,502 --> 04:06:27,944
stories, how we found No Agenda, and honoring John with

3768
04:06:28,004 --> 04:06:30,866
our favorite quotes and sayings. We neglected to record a

3769
04:06:30,926 --> 04:06:33,488
report we would never have met if not for the

3770
04:06:33,528 --> 04:06:37,110
No Agenda community. Semper Fi, No Agenda family, Sir Eric

3771
04:06:37,190 --> 04:06:43,374
is naked. Barron Sir Goodfellow, Orlando, Florida, 33333. Holy crap

3772
04:06:43,454 --> 04:06:45,836
is all I could say after Wednesday, the newsletter. Adam,

3773
04:06:45,896 --> 04:06:49,138
Mimi, and family, I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. Listening

3774
04:06:49,138 --> 04:06:52,701
to 1888 has helped me formulate a small way how

3775
04:06:52,781 --> 04:06:54,602
I can say thank you for being there during the

3776
04:06:54,622 --> 04:06:58,044
millions of pounds lifted, the thousands of miles run, the

3777
04:06:58,125 --> 04:07:02,007
dozens of countries visited, multiple houses renovated, three kids reared,

3778
04:07:02,067 --> 04:07:06,390
and thankfully only one wife. Listening since 2009, coming from

3779
04:07:06,450 --> 04:07:09,412
Twit and leaving when John did. say this is the

3780
04:07:09,652 --> 04:07:12,214
only podcast I have listened to every week for more

3781
04:07:12,234 --> 04:07:16,677
than 33% of my life. It's for me. It's formed

3782
04:07:16,697 --> 04:07:19,399
my thought and actions and saved my mind more times

3783
04:07:19,419 --> 04:07:22,181
than I can count. The interview John did with Bob

3784
04:07:22,261 --> 04:07:24,923
Heil all those years ago was of tremendous value to

3785
04:07:24,983 --> 04:07:27,364
me and gave me a glimpse of where the industry

3786
04:07:27,444 --> 04:07:30,266
I work in, touring and events, came from. I've always

3787
04:07:30,306 --> 04:07:32,828
remembered that and thought of it fondly. I look forward

3788
04:07:32,868 --> 04:07:35,790
to the next chapter as John's legacy lives on, and

3789
04:07:35,830 --> 04:07:38,312
so my wife can ask, what did the no-agenda folk

3790
04:07:38,372 --> 04:07:41,194
have to say about that whatever thing she saw online?

3791
04:07:41,894 --> 04:07:44,176
This note is too long already, but making shorter didn't

3792
04:07:44,196 --> 04:07:48,859
seem possible. No jingles, no karma. Barron Sir Goodfellow. Adam

3793
04:07:48,919 --> 04:07:52,402
Harper, Savannah, Georgia, 33333. John and Adam, thank you for

3794
04:07:52,441 --> 04:07:55,384
the countless hours of entertainment that you have provided, as

3795
04:07:55,464 --> 04:07:57,745
well as the much-needed sanity you gave us during those

3796
04:07:57,845 --> 04:08:01,047
COVID years. Not sure we would have survived without you.

3797
04:08:01,528 --> 04:08:03,529
John was one of a kind and will be greatly

3798
04:08:03,589 --> 04:08:08,613
missed. I'll get the next one with Manuka Gold. From

3799
04:08:08,633 --> 04:08:11,915
the Manuka Gold family to the entire No Agenda team,

3800
04:08:12,475 --> 04:08:15,858
all weekend we've been talking with our No Agenda customers

3801
04:08:16,238 --> 04:08:18,719
who are feeling this great loss of John, and we

3802
04:08:18,819 --> 04:08:22,402
agree. Thursday's show was so inspiring and positive. Thank you

3803
04:08:22,482 --> 04:08:25,904
for all you do. John finally got around to trying

3804
04:08:25,944 --> 04:08:29,607
the Manuka Gold. He did. And he loved it. He

3805
04:08:29,687 --> 04:08:33,069
was like, oh, this is actually really good. So I

3806
04:08:33,149 --> 04:08:36,552
had to throw that in. Let me, I'll get, I've

3807
04:08:36,572 --> 04:08:39,273
been really quiet, so let me get a few. Sir

3808
04:08:39,353 --> 04:08:46,598
Chris of the Harp Husbands, Streamwood, Illinois. 33333. Dear Adam

3809
04:08:46,839 --> 04:08:50,481
and Mimi, I just learned this morning of John's passing.

3810
04:08:51,021 --> 04:08:53,643
I've been out of the news since I'm caring for

3811
04:08:53,683 --> 04:08:58,126
my 88-year-old mother. She beat John by eight years. I

3812
04:08:58,186 --> 04:09:01,429
have no words. I haven't even finished Sunday's show yet.

3813
04:09:02,169 --> 04:09:06,472
Most sincerely, with the deepest condolences, Chris Keller, Streamwood, Illinois.

3814
04:09:07,032 --> 04:09:10,735
Sir Chris of the Harp Husbands. Baronet Sir Adam of...

3815
04:09:11,615 --> 04:09:19,701
Timreel? Maybe? Tamriel? Tamriel. Tamriel. Derby, Derbyshire, Great Britain. 333

3816
04:09:19,861 --> 04:09:23,223
for JCD. Use this in any way that helps most.

3817
04:09:24,044 --> 04:09:26,906
Well, nothing's going to help him now, but I appreciate

3818
04:09:26,906 --> 04:09:31,069
it. It'll help you. And Adam. Baronet Sir Adam of

3819
04:09:31,349 --> 04:09:40,976
Tamriel. Tamriel. Whatever. Jeremy Meha. Mi eija? Mi hija. Wayne,

3820
04:09:41,076 --> 04:09:44,638
Michigan. In the morning, douche, and that's with a U,

3821
04:09:44,998 --> 04:09:51,543
morning, douchebag removal service is needed. You've been de-douched. Gotta

3822
04:09:51,543 --> 04:09:56,426
remove. Gotta remove. Yep, it's removed. Sadly, it looks like

3823
04:09:56,486 --> 04:09:59,948
John found his exit plan. Our deepest condolences to the...

3824
04:10:00,059 --> 04:10:04,923
Dvorak family and No Agenda community. Sir Dame Donkey Puncher.

3825
04:10:04,963 --> 04:10:12,128
I like that. Yorkville, Illinois. Sir and Dame Donkey Puncher

3826
04:10:12,228 --> 04:10:16,010
here. We really miss John. Our condolences to the Dvoraks,

3827
04:10:16,171 --> 04:10:21,794
Adam and Andrew. Since John can't complain, we can... Yeah,

3828
04:10:21,834 --> 04:10:25,597
yeah. I will squeak. John's chair gently squeaks. Yeah, well,

3829
04:10:25,637 --> 04:10:29,299
it doesn't gently squeak. I've been hearing from everybody. Yes,

3830
04:10:29,740 --> 04:10:33,322
yes. I would have oiled it, but I think people

3831
04:10:33,322 --> 04:10:34,303
would have gotten mad at me. No, no, no, you

3832
04:10:34,383 --> 04:10:38,105
can't do that. I'm gonna pour out some Kirkland Bordeaux

3833
04:10:38,185 --> 04:10:43,849
for my homie. Rest in peace, John. Sir Euchre, Matthews,

3834
04:10:44,010 --> 04:10:47,852
North Carolina. Rest in peace, JCD. Thank you for your

3835
04:10:47,932 --> 04:10:50,774
courage and amazing sense of humor. Your light will be

3836
04:10:50,854 --> 04:10:53,876
missed by us all. God's peace upon the Dvorak and

3837
04:10:53,936 --> 04:10:58,279
Curry families. We love you all. Sir Euchre, Knight of

3838
04:10:58,319 --> 04:11:02,202
the Sandy Ridge. Requesting the short I Got Ants and

3839
04:11:02,302 --> 04:11:05,464
give it up for Raven Jingles. All will be at

3840
04:11:05,504 --> 04:11:07,505
the very end. I'm going to edit all of that

3841
04:11:07,606 --> 04:11:14,610
in later. Okay. Uh. list actually. Sir Kevin of Devon,

3842
04:11:15,051 --> 04:11:17,893
Gig Harbor, Washington. Ah, Gig Harbor, one of my favorite

3843
04:11:17,913 --> 04:11:21,215
places. My journey with No Agenda started with the very

3844
04:11:21,295 --> 04:11:24,257
first episode. I was hooked and stayed for the whole

3845
04:11:24,357 --> 04:11:27,799
amazing adventure. Like many have said, I knew John from

3846
04:11:27,859 --> 04:11:31,262
his columns in PC Magazine and Adam from Headbangers Ball.

3847
04:11:31,882 --> 04:11:34,824
At least, I thought I knew them. From the start,

3848
04:11:34,984 --> 04:11:38,106
No Agenda felt like close friends talking, and I got

3849
04:11:38,106 --> 04:11:40,248
a chance to be part of the group. I learned

3850
04:11:40,288 --> 04:11:55,288
the lingo and my life was forever Hmm. He was

3851
04:12:01,642 --> 04:12:06,045
wrong about OS2. Yeah, no kidding. In Dvorak predicts in

3852
04:12:06,045 --> 04:12:12,009
1995, YouTube channel real boring flips. My ecstasy strategy is

3853
04:12:12,090 --> 04:12:16,493
littered with no agenda John-isms and ITM comments. I get

3854
04:12:16,513 --> 04:12:19,434
to bring great joy. I cherish my emails with John.

3855
04:12:20,055 --> 04:12:23,257
He thoughtfully explained why my idea to give an honorary

3856
04:12:23,337 --> 04:12:26,259
knighthood to Larry King was not good for the show.

3857
04:12:28,000 --> 04:12:31,042
He convinced me that he really did put that IBM

3858
04:12:31,122 --> 04:12:35,566
PS2 computer back together again. No, we don't believe, nobody

3859
04:12:35,646 --> 04:12:40,409
believes that. Nobody believes he put that back together. Yeah,

3860
04:12:40,549 --> 04:12:43,871
probably not. It's been an emotional week, but I can

3861
04:12:43,931 --> 04:12:47,073
lean on the words of Paul in Romans 12, 15.

3862
04:12:47,534 --> 04:12:53,097
Rejoice with those. Rejoice with those rejoice. Mourn with those

3863
04:12:53,157 --> 04:12:55,919
who mourn. I promise I will continue to do both

3864
04:12:55,999 --> 04:12:58,181
for Adam and Andrew, Mimi and the rest of the

3865
04:12:58,221 --> 04:13:01,383
Dvorak family, and all of the No Agenda and DH

3866
04:13:01,463 --> 04:13:06,126
Unplugged Nation. Rest easy, John. Sir Kevin of Devon, Gig

3867
04:13:06,206 --> 04:13:12,591
Harbor, Washington. Sean Smith of Ashland City, Tennessee with $333.

3868
04:13:12,951 --> 04:13:16,353
I've been listening since before show number one, way back

3869
04:13:16,874 --> 04:13:20,896
to the DSC days. In this almost 20 years, I've

3870
04:13:20,936 --> 04:13:24,299
been divorced, remarried, lost both of my parents. Fuck cancer.

3871
04:13:25,720 --> 04:13:29,903
And three legit career changes. One thing has stayed the

3872
04:13:29,943 --> 04:13:33,045
same every week. Twice a week, I heard Adam and

3873
04:13:33,085 --> 04:13:35,987
John's voice. I may have missed a show occasionally, but

3874
04:13:36,027 --> 04:13:39,149
I never stopped listening. Thank you for all these years

3875
04:13:39,209 --> 04:13:42,891
of keeping me informed, curious, and always smiling. And when

3876
04:13:42,931 --> 04:13:45,914
I heard the first notes of On the Seventh Day,

3877
04:13:45,933 --> 04:13:49,636
it was a little bittersweet. On that note, at the

3878
04:13:49,676 --> 04:13:51,918
very end of the song, the piano plays its final

3879
04:13:52,138 --> 04:13:54,900
F major chord and then plays a very soft last

3880
04:13:55,020 --> 04:14:00,784
note, the note A, and that chord and the third

3881
04:14:00,884 --> 04:14:04,926
note in the scale 33. You had us under mind

3882
04:14:05,027 --> 04:14:09,129
control this whole time. Yes, this is the first person

3883
04:14:09,229 --> 04:14:16,434
to ever notice that. Wow. Wow. Incredible. 18 years. Wow.

3884
04:14:19,316 --> 04:14:25,460
Love y'all. Sean, long-time listener and donor. Colin McCarthy with

3885
04:14:25,540 --> 04:14:31,725
333. No location listed. Listening to episode 188, I found

3886
04:14:31,765 --> 04:14:33,786
I was not alone in my grief for a man

3887
04:14:33,846 --> 04:14:37,549
I'd never met, yet felt so connected to, and while

3888
04:14:37,549 --> 04:14:39,910
listening to Mimi talk about the night he passed, I

3889
04:14:39,990 --> 04:14:42,852
started to tear up. I've been listening to No Agenda

3890
04:14:42,932 --> 04:14:47,576
since 2008, after John's many twit appearances. John and Adam

3891
04:14:47,716 --> 04:14:50,377
opened a whole new way of thinking to a 24-year-old

3892
04:14:50,457 --> 04:14:52,919
me who was just trying to figure out what the

3893
04:14:52,979 --> 04:15:07,979
hell I was doing. Nice. to pay for my lunch

3894
04:15:25,001 --> 04:15:29,964
the total was 12.34 that settled it so with this

3895
04:15:30,305 --> 04:15:34,467
i want to become sir load neighbor of night loud

3896

3898
04:15:46,236 --> 04:15:49,598
Cancer Karma for everyone who has fought it or lost

3899
04:15:49,638 --> 04:15:53,701
someone to it? Thank you for your courage, John, Adam,

3900
04:15:53,781 --> 04:15:57,443
Mimi, and the Dvorak clan. P.S. Mimi, I'm excited for

3901
04:15:57,483 --> 04:16:00,705
the downstairs stereo pictures, and I hope you can convince

3902
04:16:00,785 --> 04:16:04,768
the funeral home to release ants in his honor. So,

3903
04:16:04,968 --> 04:16:08,331
Colin, I actually remember seeing all of your checks that

3904
04:16:08,371 --> 04:16:10,992
came through, because I always look at them, and I

3905
04:16:11,072 --> 04:16:14,715
went, ah, I know the name. So, yes, we will

3906
04:16:14,755 --> 04:16:17,217
take pictures. I don't know how fast I'll be. Nag

3907
04:16:17,337 --> 04:16:19,738
me. Please nag me. I'm really good at that. Let

3908
04:16:19,798 --> 04:16:26,543
me give him the F cancer here. you You've got

3909
04:16:26,883 --> 04:16:35,129
karma. Well, we got Commodore Sir Matt Wheeler's Hill of

3910
04:16:35,649 --> 04:16:43,815
Victoria, Australia. Commodore Sir Matt in Melbourne, Viscount of Victoria,

3911
04:16:44,355 --> 04:16:48,158
on the tragic passing of the seer, prognosticator, analysis, and

3912
04:16:48,338 --> 04:16:53,261
legend, John C. Dvorak, a producer since the 40s, mid-2008,

3913
04:16:53,321 --> 04:16:57,384
I think, and episode since 199, I have not missed

3914
04:16:57,444 --> 04:17:00,846
a show in 18 years. It's strange that someone I've

3915
04:17:00,906 --> 04:17:03,988
never met and only communicated with through email could have

3916
04:17:04,029 --> 04:17:07,851
such an impact on my life. and has now left

3917
04:17:07,851 --> 04:17:10,533
a hole. No agenda hit me in the mouth with

3918
04:17:10,893 --> 04:17:13,095
the way you both think about the world and how

3919
04:17:13,135 --> 04:17:15,837
to make sense of the information that is supplied to

3920
04:17:15,977 --> 04:17:19,419
us. Neither of my Thursdays this week will ever be

3921
04:17:19,479 --> 04:17:22,381
the same without his voice, but I am forever grateful

3922
04:17:22,501 --> 04:17:24,943
for his presence in my life. My love to all

3923
04:17:24,963 --> 04:17:27,845
the Dvorak and Curry families, to all of my No

3924
04:17:27,905 --> 04:17:31,627
Agenda family members in mourning. The community he helped build

3925
04:17:31,888 --> 04:17:34,609
will keep his spirit alive for a long time. With

3926
04:17:34,669 --> 04:17:42,215
love, Matt. Dylan Thighs of Valley, Nebraska. My older brother

3927
04:17:42,315 --> 04:17:44,776
Troy got me into the show eight years ago. I

3928
04:17:45,537 --> 04:17:48,359
tried to never miss an episode. I will miss John.

3929
04:17:48,999 --> 04:17:52,642
With this donation, I will reach knighthood. I wish John

3930
04:17:52,702 --> 04:17:57,245
could have knighted me. R.I.P. Love, the Noah Genination. Michael

3931
04:17:57,305 --> 04:18:02,909
Miller with $304.15. We're out of the 333. I feel

3932
04:18:02,949 --> 04:18:05,270
like I've been on a ride for over 18 years

3933
04:18:05,350 --> 04:18:07,732
that I never wanted to end. Although the ride may

3934
04:18:07,812 --> 04:18:11,434
change, I hope it continues. My deepest condolences to the

3935
04:18:11,434 --> 04:18:14,697
Dvorak, Curry, and Horowitz families and to the entire Noah

3936
04:18:14,697 --> 04:18:21,942
Gena nation. to 88, plus $88 in fees. Ashley Slater,

3937
04:18:22,042 --> 04:18:28,766
Elk River, Minnesota. Yes. In the morning, Adam, friends, family,

3938
04:18:28,866 --> 04:18:33,590
and all producers and douchebags, this is a $303.57 donation.

3939
04:18:34,190 --> 04:18:36,492
As I listen to the Thursday show, I choke up

3940
04:18:36,612 --> 04:18:39,013
and smile and laugh at the notes and memories shared.

3941
04:18:39,454 --> 04:18:42,636
What a beautiful tribute to John's spectacular life. We will

3942
04:18:42,656 --> 04:18:46,198
be missed, John. You will be missed, John. I had

3943
04:18:46,258 --> 04:18:48,920
more to say, but the words aren't wording. I'm sure

3944
04:18:48,980 --> 04:18:52,382
John would prefer it that way. Ashley Slater. Ashley, thank

3945
04:18:52,442 --> 04:18:57,626
you. Matt from Arkansas with $300. Sorry to hear that

3946
04:18:57,666 --> 04:19:01,088
John is now a silent key. Condolences and prayers from

3947
04:19:01,148 --> 04:19:04,150
Mimi, Adam, and the rest of the Vorak family. John

3948
04:19:04,210 --> 04:19:10,215
will be missed. 73, Matt. 73s. Yeah. Victor from West

3949
04:19:10,255 --> 04:19:14,538
Hills, California, with a $300 donation. We wanted to send

3950
04:19:14,597 --> 04:19:17,560
our deepest condolences on John's passing. My wife and I

3951
04:19:17,620 --> 04:19:20,682
have been listening to John and Adam for well over

3952
04:19:20,742 --> 04:19:24,364
a decade, and their conversations have genuinely shaped the way

3953
04:19:24,864 --> 04:19:28,407
we think about the world. John's curiosity, wisdom, and perspective

3954
04:19:28,427 --> 04:19:31,949
had a lasting impact on us, even from afar. When

3955
04:19:31,989 --> 04:19:36,072
we heard the news, we couldn't fall asleep that night.

3956
04:19:36,753 --> 04:19:41,496
It was difficult to process. privilege of knowing John personally,

3957
04:19:42,096 --> 04:19:44,938
it truly felt like we had lost someone whose voice

3958
04:19:45,078 --> 04:19:47,440
had been a meaningful part of our lives for many

3959
04:19:47,500 --> 04:19:50,402
years. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.

3960
04:19:50,842 --> 04:19:54,505
We're keeping you, your family, and everyone who loved him

3961
04:19:54,545 --> 04:19:58,127
in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Karma to

3962
04:19:58,167 --> 04:19:59,668
the Dvorak family and Adam.

3963
04:20:02,061 --> 04:20:05,583
Hey JC, did you get a new mic working? Does

3964
04:20:05,583 --> 04:20:10,046
this sound better? Yes! Oh yeah! Woah! Alright! I'm deaf

3965
04:20:10,106 --> 04:20:13,168
now, oh my god! You're out of control, man, you're

3966
04:20:13,168 --> 04:20:21,174
out of control! We just did, uh, just did Matt.

3967
04:20:23,015 --> 04:20:28,259
Yes, I think so. Victor, West Hills, California. Which I

3968
04:20:28,359 --> 04:20:32,882
believe has... At $300, we won a... Can you still

3969
04:20:32,902 --> 04:20:36,524
hear me? Yes. It was Matt's turn, actually. Oh, it's

3970
04:20:36,644 --> 04:20:42,348
Matt's turn. It's Matt's turn. Yeah. Matt... Which Matt? We

3971
04:20:42,408 --> 04:20:47,092
got a couple of Matts. Who's Matt? Wait, what are

3972
04:20:47,092 --> 04:20:52,515
we doing? It was Matthew. Oh, Matthew Nicole. Yes. Oh,

3973
04:20:52,555 --> 04:20:58,559
little Compton. Little seaside Compton. What is that? Rhode Island?

3974
04:20:59,740 --> 04:21:02,442
Where is that? Anyway, $300. I've been a knight for

3975
04:21:02,482 --> 04:21:05,304
a decade. The roundtable won't be the same without JCD,

3976
04:21:05,504 --> 04:21:07,525
but it must go on. Looking forward to whatever comes

3977
04:21:07,525 --> 04:21:10,027
next to keep the roundtable together. Rest in peace, JCD,

3978
04:21:10,247 --> 04:21:18,653
T-Y-F-Y-A-C. Thaumonymous in Amos, Pennsylvania. Dear No Agenda family, Tomonymous

3979
04:21:18,673 --> 04:21:20,314
here. So sorry for the loss of one of the

3980
04:21:20,314 --> 04:21:23,977
greats. I've been listening to No Agenda since show 996.

3981
04:21:24,657 --> 04:21:26,098
I never had the chance to meet John, to shake

3982
04:21:26,118 --> 04:21:27,639
his hand, and certainly never had a dinner with him.

3983
04:21:28,040 --> 04:21:31,062
But it's amazing how someone you never met could literally

3984
04:21:31,222 --> 04:21:33,523
feel like a good friend. That's a testament to how

3985
04:21:33,623 --> 04:21:37,246
unique, true, and unapologetically real JCD was. I found out

3986
04:21:37,266 --> 04:21:39,327
about his passing from a fellow producer, Greg the Welder.

3987
04:21:39,747 --> 04:21:41,369
He called me to tell me the news because he

3988
04:21:41,509 --> 04:21:42,890
thought it would be better if it came from a

3989
04:21:42,970 --> 04:21:45,271
friend than just seeing it on my phone later that

3990
04:21:45,311 --> 04:21:48,093
night. John wasn't just some podcaster. He was a friend

3991
04:21:48,173 --> 04:21:50,575
to me and millions of others in Gitmo Nation. He

3992
04:21:50,635 --> 04:21:53,337
brought great humor, unmatched insight, and bottomless value to all

3993
04:21:53,377 --> 04:21:55,578
of us. Now he's partaking in the great sock hop

3994
04:21:55,638 --> 04:21:58,100
in the sky. Think of the Dvorak and Curry families.

3995
04:21:58,160 --> 04:22:00,041
And for some reason, I can't stop thinking about that

3996
04:22:00,061 --> 04:22:03,684
time John had an encounter with a public pooper. Played

3997
04:22:03,724 --> 04:22:09,348
that. Played it. Played it. Sir Gordon Walton, Austin, Texas,

3998
04:22:09,488 --> 04:22:16,653
$288.88. He is a big-time baron. Mmm. Sir J.C.D., the

3999
04:22:16,693 --> 04:22:18,394
world is a little dimmer without you in it. Gordon

4000
04:22:18,454 --> 04:22:23,097
Walton, Baron of Melam County. Sir Tigger Max, 288.88 cents.

4001
04:22:23,617 --> 04:22:25,999
J.C.D., it's an unfair exit strategy for us, but perhaps

4002
04:22:25,999 --> 04:22:28,240
the final bow and your easy chair was your personal

4003
04:22:28,301 --> 04:22:31,022
choice. You leave us with heavy hearts and wonderful memories.

4004
04:22:32,303 --> 04:22:37,507
ITM bro, sir Tigger Max. Nate Thurman, 288.88. Please accept

4005
04:22:37,527 --> 04:22:40,589
this 288.88 donation in honor of JCD. No note in

4006
04:22:40,649 --> 04:22:43,571
honor of John. But I do request that SpookyJCD donate

4007
04:22:43,651 --> 04:22:46,233
and you slaves can eat mac and cheese. Sending prayers

4008
04:22:46,933 --> 04:22:49,655
and love, Nate Thurman at Frodo the letter in boots

4009
04:22:49,835 --> 04:22:56,560
on X. Sir Dalton Fisher, 288, 88. ITM, Gitmo Nation.

4010
04:22:56,840 --> 04:22:58,521
It's hard to say how much John meant to me.

4011
04:22:58,881 --> 04:23:01,984
Truly my perspective on technology, business, politics, media, and so

4012
04:23:02,064 --> 04:23:04,906
much more was shaped by JCD. I'm 29 years old

4013
04:23:04,966 --> 04:23:06,887
now, and I started listening when I was still in

4014
04:23:06,907 --> 04:23:08,888
high school. That is the math, and that means in

4015
04:23:08,948 --> 04:23:12,170
total, I have spent a total of about 1.4% of

4016
04:23:12,210 --> 04:23:14,532
my entire life with John and Adam in my ears.

4017
04:23:15,633 --> 04:23:17,114
To say John made an impact on me is an

4018
04:23:17,114 --> 04:23:20,016
understatement. Thank you for your prayers, Buzzkill. You and the

4019
04:23:20,016 --> 04:23:23,018
whole Dvorak clan will be in my prayers. For all

4020
04:23:23,098 --> 04:23:25,900
your blue-collar video content needs anywhere in the USA, go

4021
04:23:26,020 --> 04:23:31,324
to fishmultimedia.com. Fishermultimedia.com. John would have wanted this donation to

4022
04:23:31,324 --> 04:23:34,125
be a tax write-off. Godspeed, Sir Dalton Fisher, Commodore of

4023
04:23:34,165 --> 04:23:40,850
Content. Craig Clifford, Uxbridge, Ontario. Craig Clifford, Knights of the

4024
04:23:40,870 --> 04:23:45,914
Rolling Hills of Uxbridge, Ontario. Email to Adam. $288.88. Did

4025
04:23:45,914 --> 04:23:48,976
we get that or not? Let me take a look.

4026
04:23:50,417 --> 04:23:53,479
So Oxbridge is the trail capital of Canada. Well, while

4027
04:23:53,499 --> 04:23:56,721
you look, I can tell people facts. It's 300 kilometers

4028
04:23:56,761 --> 04:23:59,963
of trails for the Oak Ridge Moraine. I do not

4029
04:24:00,023 --> 04:24:04,426
have his email, unfortunately. Sorry. The Anne of Green Gables

4030
04:24:04,586 --> 04:24:10,650
author lived there. Anyway. Sir Preston, Santa Rosa, California. 288?

4031
04:24:10,770 --> 04:24:13,592
88. Words cannot express what I feel, but I have

4032
04:24:13,933 --> 04:24:17,535
to blast some out anyway. I've been a 12-12 a

4033
04:24:17,575 --> 04:24:20,817
month donor since early 2012. I remember watching JCD on

4034
04:24:20,877 --> 04:24:23,759
tech TV in college. I discovered no agenda via twit

4035
04:24:24,079 --> 04:24:28,022
barf emoji. JCD, a snarky take on the bull crap

4036
04:24:28,082 --> 04:24:30,064
that was covered was why I kept turning in, tuning

4037
04:24:30,124 --> 04:24:33,326
in. Luckily, his plugs for the No Agenda show led

4038
04:24:33,366 --> 04:24:35,287
me to the light. Also props to Adam for whipping

4039
04:24:35,347 --> 04:24:38,409
out his piece on the air. That's what got me

4040
04:24:38,569 --> 04:24:44,774
fired from ever being on Twit again. You have kept

4041
04:24:44,854 --> 04:24:48,156
me sane and questioning the M5M crap through so much.

4042
04:24:49,977 --> 04:24:52,099
This donation pushes me across the line to Baron. I

4043
04:24:52,159 --> 04:24:54,200
claim the title of Sir Preston Baron of the Driftless.

4044
04:24:55,001 --> 04:24:56,882
I'm lucky enough to have had the pleasure to meet

4045
04:24:56,922 --> 04:24:59,944
Buzzkill at one of the Sonoma County Wino meetups. Anyone

4046
04:24:59,964 --> 04:25:02,206
that had not had the opportunity but wanted to can

4047
04:25:02,265 --> 04:25:04,327
rest assured JCD was one of those people you meet

4048
04:25:04,387 --> 04:25:06,508
in real life, and they are exactly who you expected

4049
04:25:06,548 --> 04:25:10,151
them to be. A fucking champion. Chapeau, JCD. I'm pouring

4050
04:25:10,211 --> 04:25:15,895
one out for the real Dvorak, Preston. Yair Moore, 288.88.

4051
04:25:16,255 --> 04:25:19,297
Hello, Adam, Mimi, Jay, and the Rorick family. In this

4052
04:25:19,317 --> 04:25:21,338
time of grief, I want to share an unusual story

4053
04:25:21,379 --> 04:25:24,100
about the effect John had on one life. I stumbled

4054
04:25:24,120 --> 04:25:26,942
across a PCMag issue in 2003 when I was 18.

4055
04:25:27,283 --> 04:25:29,864
I started reading and got captivated by John's column. He

4056
04:25:29,904 --> 04:25:32,126
wrote about technology in a way nobody else did, with

4057
04:25:32,146 --> 04:25:35,488
his unique combination of wit, depth, and opinionated independence. From

4058
04:25:35,528 --> 04:25:37,169
that moment on, I knew what I wanted to do.

4059
04:25:37,389 --> 04:25:39,791
I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I followed his

4060
04:25:39,831 --> 04:25:42,153
career for 23 years and was always enlightened by the

4061
04:25:42,153 --> 04:25:44,114
way he took everything in a way that wasn't totally

4062
04:25:44,194 --> 04:25:47,136
serious, but well thought of. His takes on things were

4063
04:25:47,136 --> 04:25:49,718
always original and thought-provoking, and his sense of humor was

4064
04:25:49,738 --> 04:25:53,861
endearing, even when I didn't get the jokes. person in

4065
04:25:53,901 --> 04:25:55,722
my life after my parents. I will miss him dearly.

4066
04:25:55,942 --> 04:25:58,044
Mimi and the family, we will all cherish his memory.

4067
04:25:58,224 --> 04:26:01,066
His mark on the world will outlast us all. All

4068
04:26:01,106 --> 04:26:05,168
of us. Did we find a note? Let me take

4069
04:26:05,208 --> 04:26:07,810
over for a second, JC, because I found the note

4070
04:26:07,870 --> 04:26:10,672
from Craig Clifford that we just missed. Yay. Let's do

4071
04:26:10,752 --> 04:26:14,615
it. Craig Clifford, Knight of the Rolling Hills of Uxbridge,

4072
04:26:14,695 --> 04:26:18,257
Ontario here. Mine sincere condolences to the Dvorak and Currie

4073
04:26:18,277 --> 04:26:21,940
families. JCD touched many through his journey on this earth.

4074
04:26:22,580 --> 04:26:26,383
I'm sure he will be an inspiration up above. Mimi,

4075
04:26:26,543 --> 04:26:29,925
my wife just recently borrowed too many eggs from our

4076
04:26:29,945 --> 04:26:35,169
daughter's-in-law, my keeper. Kathy loves the book. Fridge is full

4077
04:26:35,229 --> 04:26:38,671
of Swiss deviled eggs. Presently, the introduction in the book

4078
04:26:38,771 --> 04:26:41,473
is funny when John pipes up and says, no, stop,

4079
04:26:41,593 --> 04:26:45,596
don't ask her about... Don't ask her about eggs! Maybe

4080
04:26:45,656 --> 04:26:48,938
you could explain more to the listeners about John's comments.

4081
04:26:50,599 --> 04:26:54,222
Get Mo Nation. Listen up. Order Mimi's cookbook. It is

4082
04:26:54,302 --> 04:26:57,864
fabulous. I just ordered our own copy. We will miss

4083
04:26:57,904 --> 04:27:00,906
you, JCD. Kind regards, Craig. I really love the crepe

4084
04:27:00,986 --> 04:27:05,389
recipe in that. Well, thank you. John would always say

4085
04:27:05,430 --> 04:27:08,191
to people, don't get her started. Don't ask her about

4086
04:27:08,231 --> 04:27:12,734
eggs. Please don't. Please, no, no, no. All right, take

4087
04:27:12,774 --> 04:27:15,556
it away, JC. Okay, wherever you are, JC. All right,

4088
04:27:15,736 --> 04:27:20,760
so nobody of New Jersey in Parlin, New Jersey. Um.

4089
04:27:22,601 --> 04:27:25,943
288.80. I wanted to say that Adam's speech at the

4090
04:27:25,943 --> 04:27:30,206
beginning of 1-8-8-8, with John's passing, I feel like I

4091
04:27:30,306 --> 04:27:34,389
have lost another teacher. Adam and John. have taught me

4092
04:27:34,509 --> 04:27:36,351
more about the news than most people. I have lately

4093
04:27:36,391 --> 04:27:38,472
been in a buzzkill mood as a group of friends

4094
04:27:38,512 --> 04:27:41,214
has TDS. There's nothing more fun than using the skills

4095
04:27:41,214 --> 04:27:43,435
I've learned from No Agenda, blasting their narratives in two

4096
04:27:43,495 --> 04:27:45,837
seconds and watching them flip out for a bit. It's

4097
04:27:45,857 --> 04:27:48,419
better than the Trump soap opera. My group of sanity

4098
04:27:48,459 --> 04:27:50,840
in these times has been the New Jersey meetups and

4099
04:27:50,880 --> 04:27:54,643
talking about the news, yes. but about normal everyday stuff.

4100
04:27:55,524 --> 04:27:57,985
I do not know what form the new form the

4101
04:27:58,045 --> 04:27:59,807
show will take, but I will ensure that the quarterly

4102
04:27:59,887 --> 04:28:02,548
Central New Jersey meetups will continue. Anyone wants to be

4103
04:28:02,588 --> 04:28:06,331
added to the email list, please email me at jerseyjamesscott

4104
04:28:06,511 --> 04:28:11,855
at gmail.com. Thank you, everyone. Jersey James, Scott, Sir Nobody

4105
04:28:11,875 --> 04:28:17,759
of New Jersey. Sir Daddycast, Mechanicsville, Virginia. What a cool

4106
04:28:17,839 --> 04:28:20,961
name for a town. Okay, 288. To accompany my 288

4107
04:28:20,981 --> 04:28:23,463
donation in honor of JCD, I was in the group

4108
04:28:23,623 --> 04:28:25,724
who was hoping it wasn't true. A void we can

4109
04:28:25,824 --> 04:28:28,726
never fully fill. John was a special voice when I

4110
04:28:28,846 --> 04:28:31,348
followed since the tech TV days. Missed without a doubt.

4111
04:28:31,488 --> 04:28:34,430
Peace and prayers to the Dvorak family. Sir Diddy... Sir

4112
04:28:34,810 --> 04:28:37,752
Daddycast, Baron of the Center of the Universe. PD Love,

4113
04:28:37,832 --> 04:28:46,739
thedaddycast.com. The Highlands Craigs. Colorado Springs, Colorado. $280. We were

4114
04:28:46,879 --> 04:28:48,980
so saddened to hear about the loss of Uncle John.

4115
04:28:48,980 --> 04:28:50,581
We will greatly miss him and are praying for the

4116
04:28:50,581 --> 04:28:53,643
DeVark family, you, Adam, and Tina, as well as his

4117
04:28:53,723 --> 04:28:57,606
other friends and loved ones. Love, The Highland Craigs. Dame

4118
04:28:57,646 --> 04:29:01,849
Tanya, New York. $269. Good to hear from you, Dame

4119
04:29:01,889 --> 04:29:05,531
Tanya. Wow, just wow. Dame Tanya here, Countess of the

4120
04:29:05,551 --> 04:29:08,193
No Agenda Roundtable. Saddened and shocked by our friend John

4121
04:29:08,233 --> 04:29:10,655
C. Dvorak's passing. I've been reading his columns since the

4122
04:29:10,655 --> 04:29:13,897
1980s, always giggling at his snark, digs, humor, and what

4123
04:29:13,917 --> 04:29:17,219
we now know as trolling. Found him later on Twit,

4124
04:29:17,239 --> 04:29:18,941
which led me to No Agenda, and I started listening

4125
04:29:18,980 --> 04:29:21,923
from episode 34 in June 2008. I went back and

4126
04:29:21,963 --> 04:29:25,825
listened from the start. Even during the period where it

4127
04:29:25,845 --> 04:29:29,388
appeared I was Dame Overboard, I listened to every single

4128
04:29:29,448 --> 04:29:32,009
No Agenda show. From my dose of JCD, and you

4129
04:29:32,049 --> 04:29:34,551
too, Adam, shout out to Cranky Geeks, Tech 5, Tech

4130
04:29:34,651 --> 04:29:37,893
Grouch, and Tech Hippie. Those tie-dye underpants are now a

4131
04:29:37,913 --> 04:29:42,837
collectible. Donation amount for the show I was knighted on,

4132
04:29:42,877 --> 04:29:47,220
episode 169. Bumped it up to 269 for executive producer

4133
04:29:47,260 --> 04:29:49,762
credit. Love you all, and Mimi's appearance through these crises

4134
04:29:49,781 --> 04:29:51,763
make it clear that John had an absolutely wonderful partner

4135
04:29:51,803 --> 04:29:55,565
and soulmate in his life in the morning. Commodore Sir

4136
04:29:55,585 --> 04:29:59,188
Kaz in Brighton, England. Oh, Kaz. Holy crap. Haven't heard

4137
04:29:59,228 --> 04:29:59,888
him in forever.

4138
04:30:02,041 --> 04:30:05,123
Well, it brings in 269. I am grateful for co-emperor

4139
04:30:05,143 --> 04:30:07,605
of the galaxy, John C. Dvorak's invaluable contributions to our

4140
04:30:07,645 --> 04:30:10,547
lives. It was a pleasure meeting John, Mimi, and the

4141
04:30:10,567 --> 04:30:12,588
family at the last London meetup. Oh yeah, I remember

4142
04:30:12,608 --> 04:30:16,431
that. Yeah, yeah, me too. I'm saddened by John's passing,

4143
04:30:16,491 --> 04:30:19,112
but I know he's watching over us from above, providing

4144
04:30:19,153 --> 04:30:21,714
us with a sarcastic yet insightful commentary. He shaped our

4145
04:30:21,754 --> 04:30:24,076
thoughts and will continue to do so for eternity. To

4146
04:30:24,136 --> 04:30:27,098
Mimi, the family, and Adam, we all feel your pain,

4147
04:30:27,158 --> 04:30:29,139
but know John's words touch so many lives. A part

4148
04:30:29,179 --> 04:30:31,521
of John lives on through all of us, readers, listeners,

4149
04:30:31,561 --> 04:30:37,425
fans, and family. Godspeed, John. You'll be deeply missed. Ed

04:30:37,545 --> 04:30:43,369
Warner, 268.78. This donation is my JCD donation. I'll claim

4151
04:30:43,429 --> 04:30:46,851
my knight name as Sir Ten Lee Tripping. I'm very

4152
04:30:46,911 --> 04:30:48,713
sad to realize that I had been a knight a

4153
04:30:48,753 --> 04:30:51,094
few donations ago and could have had a JCD knighting.

4154
04:30:51,935 --> 04:30:53,876
Still, I'm happy to finally be and claim my night

4155
04:30:53,916 --> 04:30:56,398
name. I will truly miss a person I've never met,

4156
04:30:56,538 --> 04:30:58,519
but would call a friend. Even though I was never

4157
04:30:58,539 --> 04:31:01,041
invited to his home, prayers for the Dvoraks, Kurys, and

4158
04:31:01,081 --> 04:31:04,363
everyone in the Nojenta family. Jingles I would like, F-35,

4159
04:31:04,423 --> 04:31:06,625
what in the world, a karma, and prayers, so I

4160
04:31:06,685 --> 04:31:11,768
got everyone covered. and magic mushrooms, and maybe some LSD

4161
04:31:11,949 --> 04:31:13,970
for those that partake at the roundtable. Thank you for

4162
04:31:13,990 --> 04:31:16,131
your attention to this matter. Freshly minted, Sir Ten Lee

4163
04:31:16,231 --> 04:31:23,376
Tripping, Burlington, Washington. ITM. Sir Robbie the Redoer. 263.22 cents.

4164
04:31:24,197 --> 04:31:25,838
I'll miss your stories. I'll miss your jokes. I'll miss

4165
04:31:25,838 --> 04:31:28,640
your references. I'll miss you. Sir Robbie, the Redoer, now

4166
04:31:28,720 --> 04:31:38,887
a Baronet. Brian H. from Wimberley, Texas. Hard to believe

4167
04:31:38,947 --> 04:31:44,070
when it hit me. The 1,888 artwork wasn't some morbid

4168
04:31:44,130 --> 04:31:46,952
play on a hypothetical. Nearly impossible to fathom in the

4169
04:31:46,952 --> 04:31:49,474
moment. Adam, you and John have been a true dynamic

4170
04:31:49,534 --> 04:31:51,495
duo, a chemistry that felt so proper and right that

4171
04:31:51,515 --> 04:31:54,497
the pairings felt unmovable, like a natural order of sorts,

4172
04:31:55,138 --> 04:31:59,261
which should reasonably carry on to perpetuity. It hits hard

4173
04:31:59,541 --> 04:32:01,142
even as a listener who never met John, so I'm

4174
04:32:01,302 --> 04:32:03,764
feeling for all who were blessed to be close, looking

4175
04:32:03,804 --> 04:32:06,206
forward to the great things still to come no agenda

4176
04:32:06,766 --> 04:32:11,329
as John Spirit lives on to the show. David Brine,

4177
04:32:11,589 --> 04:32:16,172
255.55. Thank you, John and his family. Too soon, but

4178
04:32:16,192 --> 04:32:19,074
great impact from Silicon Spin to No Agenda for information

4179
04:32:19,134 --> 04:32:24,018
and fun. Ken of Weinstock, Tucker, Georgia. $253.90, which is

4180
04:32:24,058 --> 04:32:29,401
to say $188.88 plus $65.02. $65.02 is because it always

4181
04:32:29,421 --> 04:32:33,424
reminded JCD of the chip. Yep. Godspeed, JCD and JNK.

4182
04:32:34,745 --> 04:32:38,507
Mike Formanick, $250. I'm a Tom Woods listener who was

4183
04:32:38,588 --> 04:32:40,769
hooked from the start back in 2024. I will miss

4184
04:32:40,809 --> 04:32:45,072
John's encyclopedic knowledge gained from his wide-ranging experiences. I've learned

4185
04:32:45,112 --> 04:32:48,454
quite a bit since which has helped me out in

4186
04:32:48,454 --> 04:32:50,476
the real world more ways than I can count. For

4187
04:32:50,536 --> 04:32:52,697
my night name, I request to be named Sir Michael

4188
04:32:52,737 --> 04:32:56,040
Protector of the Peas. Peas being my daughters, Phoebe and

4189
04:32:56,079 --> 04:33:00,022
Penelope. And for the round table, Vicar Boreal Juniper Gin

4190
04:33:00,082 --> 04:33:06,086
Martinis. No jingles, just a de-douching, please. You've been de-douched.

4191
04:33:09,269 --> 04:33:12,090
Jane Zhang. I'll just jump in. This one's easy. These

4192
04:33:12,110 --> 04:33:13,491
next two are very easy. Let me do two more

4193
04:33:13,491 --> 04:33:16,453
and then I'm done. I need to get these numbers.

4194
04:33:16,594 --> 04:33:20,596
I got to get my numbers up. He's unstoppable. The

4195
04:33:20,636 --> 04:33:24,419
troll room keeps giving me karma. I'm addicted. All right.

4196
04:33:25,239 --> 04:33:28,722
Jane Zhang, 250. RAP, JCD, we will miss you. And

4197
04:33:28,942 --> 04:33:38,929
Allison Stang, Champlin. Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota, 250. No note. Okay,

4198
04:33:39,309 --> 04:33:45,493
Dame Kim. Vacheron, Dear Mimi, Jay, Buzzkill Jr., Adam, and

4199
04:33:45,633 --> 04:33:49,796
all who love JCD. Reading the news about John's passing

4200
04:33:49,856 --> 04:33:52,958
was devastating, and my son and I, he hit me

4201
04:33:52,998 --> 04:33:56,000
in the mouth many years ago, your son's not supposed

4202
04:33:56,020 --> 04:33:59,443
to hit you, are so very sad for all you

4203
04:33:59,543 --> 04:34:02,245
and also for all of you and all of ourselves.

4204
04:34:02,785 --> 04:34:08,409
We'll miss hearing John's incredible voice twice. Okay, read and

4205
04:34:08,589 --> 04:34:11,591
go. I can't talk. We will miss hearing John's incredible

4206
04:34:11,651 --> 04:34:15,313
voice twice weekly deconstruction, his sharp wit, and even his

4207
04:34:15,374 --> 04:34:18,616
occasional grousing very much. He opened our eyes and kept

4208
04:34:18,676 --> 04:34:21,838
our amygdala small, and for that we are forever grateful.

4209
04:34:22,398 --> 04:34:25,440
Please accept our deepest condolences and know that so many

4210
04:34:25,521 --> 04:34:27,962
of us are lifting you up in prayer at this

4211
04:34:28,022 --> 04:34:31,084
very difficult time. Love and light to everyone, and rest

4212
04:34:31,144 --> 04:34:37,108
in peace, JCD. Much love. Damon Edwards from San Francisco,

4213
04:34:37,128 --> 04:34:40,230
California with a $2.50 donation. So long and thanks for

4214
04:34:40,291 --> 04:34:47,596
all the fish. Classic. Classic. Absolutely. Yeah. Kees Hoenig. Kees

4215
04:34:47,696 --> 04:34:51,718
Hoenig. Yeah, the G is like a... I can't do

4216
04:34:51,758 --> 04:34:55,501
that. I can't do the... Yeah, you're good. Kees Hoenig

4217
04:34:55,841 --> 04:34:59,984
from Amsterdam. Um... I'm very sorry for the loss of

4218
04:35:00,004 --> 04:35:04,347
JCD, for you, his family, and frankly, also for ours.

4219
04:35:04,587 --> 04:35:07,189
Me and my wife have been longtime listeners and weekly

4220
04:35:07,249 --> 04:35:11,452
donors for over eight years. Never missed an episode. Your

4221
04:35:11,532 --> 04:35:15,274
show became what watching a Seinfeld episode was before I

4222
04:35:15,354 --> 04:35:18,977
started listening to No Agenda. A healthy dose of hilarious

4223
04:35:19,137 --> 04:35:23,800
relativism of life. John's fearless free thinking was like taking

4224
04:35:23,860 --> 04:35:29,324
Xanax for the years. Calming, a good time. and strangely

4225
04:35:29,404 --> 04:35:33,427
addictive. Living through COVID in Brooklyn, New York, you guys

4226
04:35:33,507 --> 04:35:37,069
were a beacon of common sense while everyone around us

4227
04:35:37,189 --> 04:35:42,173
was going crazy. In Brooklyn, especially. Wow. I know. During

4228
04:35:42,253 --> 04:35:45,835
trying times, my thoughts was I can always listen to

4229
04:35:45,855 --> 04:35:48,017
these guys and check out for a couple of hours.

4230
04:35:48,657 --> 04:35:51,879
I understand now that I never realized the beacon one

4231
04:35:51,939 --> 04:35:55,081
day would not be there anymore. I'm very grateful for

4232
04:35:55,122 --> 04:36:00,465
all those years. And also very sad. JCD's chair stopped

4233
04:36:00,505 --> 04:36:04,488
squeaking. It's not it's not yet. Sorry to burst your

4234
04:36:04,528 --> 04:36:12,814
bubble with love case honey Amsterdam Netherlands Royce Kokami with

4235
04:36:12,874 --> 04:36:19,538
$233.99. Firstly, my condolences to everyone, especially the Dvorak family.

4236
04:36:20,179 --> 04:36:23,601
I donated last minute for the past Thursday show, but

4237
04:36:23,701 --> 04:36:25,662
didn't have time to gather my thoughts and write a

4238
04:36:25,722 --> 04:36:33,988
note. So here's another donation of $222.22 plus fees. Total

4239
04:36:34,248 --> 04:36:40,432
$233.99. I don't remember the exact episode number when I

4240
04:36:40,512 --> 04:36:43,455
started listening, but I know it was shortly after you

4241
04:36:43,515 --> 04:36:48,358
guys started. Around episode five. It was still November 2007.

4242
04:36:48,898 --> 04:36:51,840
It still amazes me that you guys started the show

4243
04:36:52,300 --> 04:36:56,183
in a pre-Obama era America. It was a different world

4244
04:36:56,263 --> 04:36:59,305
back then. I stopped listening to Twit a while ago,

4245
04:36:59,325 --> 04:37:01,727
but some of my favorite episodes were the ones with

4246
04:37:01,767 --> 04:37:05,810
John in them, especially if John and Jolie O'Dell were

4247
04:37:05,850 --> 04:37:11,894
there, both there. they played off each other well. Side

4248
04:37:11,954 --> 04:37:14,155
note, I always thought it was a little cool and

4249
04:37:14,256 --> 04:37:17,558
funny that my friend Chris, who I helped get into

4250
04:37:17,618 --> 04:37:20,019
the show, is born on the same day the show

4251
04:37:20,159 --> 04:37:26,224
started, October 26th. as well as Hillary Clinton. Oh, no.

4252
04:37:26,324 --> 04:37:30,206
I always like to poke fun at him that they're

4253
04:37:30,226 --> 04:37:34,930
cousins. Anyway, thank you for all these years. Same things

4254
04:37:35,270 --> 04:37:37,872
make us laugh. Let me pick up a couple, Brennan.

4255
04:37:37,912 --> 04:37:43,315
It's my turn. Everyone's been talking. Colin Fannin, uh, Matawan.

4256
04:37:44,116 --> 04:37:48,119
Michigan, 233. I was saddened to hear of John's passing

4257
04:37:48,159 --> 04:37:51,441
during Thursday's episode. As a practicing Catholic, I'll be adding

4258
04:37:51,501 --> 04:37:54,563
John to my litany of the faithfully departed and will

4259
04:37:54,603 --> 04:37:57,365
continue praying for him and his family. This donation takes

4260
04:37:57,445 --> 04:37:59,947
me to knighthood. I'm grateful for everything I've learned from

4261
04:37:59,967 --> 04:38:03,589
the podcast over the years, from thought-provoking discussions to movie

4262
04:38:03,649 --> 04:38:07,512
recommendations. But most importantly, I'm not easily rattled or enraged

4263
04:38:07,592 --> 04:38:11,455
by the news. This has been invaluable. Thank you. As

4264
04:38:11,494 --> 04:38:16,798

4265
04:38:16,878 --> 04:38:19,420
people with real constraints. Oh, here we go. I'd like

4266
04:38:19,480 --> 04:38:22,582
to honor John's memory by offering 20% off any coaching

4267
04:38:22,642 --> 04:38:26,425

to offer my value for value meal plans with the

4270
04:38:31,648 --> 04:38:34,911
working with you soon. Yes, Colin, we will. If you

4271
04:38:35,011 --> 04:38:38,073
or someone you care about isn't prioritizing their health, consider

4272
04:38:38,133 --> 04:38:40,895
starting sooner rather than later. If consistency has been a

4273
04:38:40,955 --> 04:38:43,276
challenge or you're not sure where to begin, I'd be

04:38:43,336 --> 04:38:46,338

tragedy. As to the aforementioned squeaky chair in heaven, I

4277
04:39:00,228 --> 04:39:03,270
can see JCD right now drafting a memo. To the

4278
04:39:03,330 --> 04:39:06,972
management! Thanks and love to the Dvorak family for sharing

4279
04:39:07,012 --> 04:39:09,294
this man with us, for all the unseen work in

4280
04:39:09,314 --> 04:39:12,856
the background, because no way a crackpot and or buzzkill

4281
04:39:12,916 --> 04:39:16,179
could have pulled this wonderful thing off all by themselves.

4282
04:39:16,279 --> 04:39:20,682
Much love and all light, Smithers from Virginia. Sir, who's

4283
04:39:20,862 --> 04:39:26,065
Ed? Waterford, Michigan. 222.94. In the morning with prayers. Sir,

4284
04:39:26,145 --> 04:39:41,145
who's Ed? Baronette Matt of Northeast Ohio 222.88. too much,

4285
04:39:58,087 --> 04:39:59,468
asked for an F cancer from my wife.

4286
04:40:00,060 --> 04:40:03,442
Everyone else who was affected by this horrible disease, Baronet

4287
04:40:03,522 --> 04:40:15,870
Matt of Northeast Ohio. You've got karma. Scott North, full

4288
04:40:15,970 --> 04:40:19,953
row of ducks, 222.22. I will miss John's sense of

4289
04:40:20,033 --> 04:40:23,255
humor, life stories, and keen insights, but mostly I will

4290
04:40:23,295 --> 04:40:25,417
miss how much he reminds me of my own father,

4291
04:40:25,757 --> 04:40:28,699
who introduced me to John's work via PC Magazine in

4292
04:40:28,699 --> 04:40:31,401
the early 90s and who passed away several years ago,

4293
04:40:31,921 --> 04:40:33,442
also at the age of 80. I would like to

4294
04:40:33,482 --> 04:40:35,544
honor John with a row of ducks and ask for

4295
04:40:35,584 --> 04:40:38,766
the OTG kind of guy jingle. Yes, it'll be at

4296
04:40:38,786 --> 04:40:43,489
the end. Scott North, Orange County, California. Chaz Straney, Charleston,

4297
04:40:43,769 --> 04:40:47,712
South Carolina. Rove Ducks. Since John's passing, in moments of

4298
04:40:47,792 --> 04:40:50,654
prayer, I am returned to the word courage. To live

4299
04:40:50,694 --> 04:40:53,896
a life the way John lived, hewing always to intellectual

4300
04:40:53,976 --> 04:40:58,119
honesty and questioning everything is truly courageous. What's more, to

4301
04:40:58,179 --> 04:41:00,441
be full of good humor, to love, to laugh with

4302
04:41:00,481 --> 04:41:03,843
others, and to lighten others' loads through their jocularity and

4303
04:41:03,923 --> 04:41:06,925
wit. Second time we've heard that word. To what better

4304
04:41:07,105 --> 04:41:09,667
end can someone give their days? Thank you, John, for

4305
04:41:09,727 --> 04:41:15,591
your courage. God bless you. Chaz. trainee. Sir Sidereel, Bountiful

4306
04:41:15,791 --> 04:41:19,434
Utah, Rove Ducks. Sir Sidereel will wait a while longer

4307
04:41:19,514 --> 04:41:26,238
for a Cranky Geeks revival. Michael Nunley, 222.05. I've been

4308
04:41:26,258 --> 04:41:29,420
a sustaining donor since 2018, but was listening well before

4309
04:41:29,460 --> 04:41:32,803
the pansexual meatloaf, and I passed knighthood some time ago

4310
04:41:32,883 --> 04:41:34,564
and never claimed it, but would like to claim it

4311
04:41:34,584 --> 04:41:37,726
now. I'd like to be knighted Sir Whiskey November. Nothing

4312
04:41:37,766 --> 04:41:40,088
for the round table. I'll just pick off others' plates.

4313
04:41:40,788 --> 04:41:44,751
Being a swing shift worker, I sometimes run a little

4314
04:41:44,771 --> 04:41:48,413
behind on shows, so I listen to 1888 before 1887

4315
04:41:48,493 --> 04:41:52,396
due to the circumstances. Whoever created the opening-closing song in

4316
04:41:52,456 --> 04:41:57,380
the morning, thank you. say. That is the Jeff Smith,

4317
04:41:57,520 --> 04:42:03,364
G-O-F-F Smith in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm about halfway through 1887,

4318
04:42:03,364 --> 04:42:06,646
and it's a beautiful listen. John had full curmudgeon locked

4319
04:42:06,746 --> 04:42:09,027
in out of the gate, complaints about the World Cup

4320
04:42:09,087 --> 04:42:12,570
and donations, dissing on Cleo's name, and having to be

4321
04:42:12,690 --> 04:42:16,072
prodded into congratulating the birth. Also, who else in the

4322
04:42:16,152 --> 04:42:20,235
potosphere could offer any amount of commentary on Swedish jowl

4323
04:42:20,355 --> 04:42:26,299
features or Molotov versus Flambe cocktails? I'm astounded that only

4324
04:42:26,439 --> 04:42:29,461
one producer of show 1888 mentioned one of the funniest

4325
04:42:29,541 --> 04:42:32,443
moments of the last 10 years. I'm assuming someone else

4326
04:42:32,483 --> 04:42:34,245
will send it in today, but I've attached it with

4327
04:42:34,285 --> 04:42:37,287
this note just in case. John, thank you from the

4328
04:42:37,327 --> 04:42:40,349
bottom of my heart for everything. Exit strategy, Adam. Screw

4329
04:42:40,429 --> 04:42:43,231
your freedom. We need you now more than ever. Mimi,

4330
04:42:43,571 --> 04:42:45,672
truly my heart goes out to you and your family

4331
04:42:45,732 --> 04:42:50,936
for your loss. Sincerely, Mike. Juliana Lee, $210.60. I am

4332
04:42:51,056 --> 04:42:53,818
so sad. Sending you all my love. My chest is

4333
04:42:53,898 --> 04:42:56,300
tight with grief, but I know I'll hear his voice

4334
04:42:56,400 --> 04:42:59,282
again when my time here is up. He's the crankiest

4335
04:42:59,442 --> 04:43:03,665
angel in heaven. God bless, JCD. Frank Maloney, Sister Bay,

4336
04:43:03,725 --> 04:43:07,567
Wisconsin, 21060. Adam and John talked me out of the

4337
04:43:07,607 --> 04:43:11,010
Dave Smith and Company Israel doom spiral, and for that,

4338
04:43:11,170 --> 04:43:14,152
I am forever grateful. Rest in peace, John. Thank you

4339
04:43:14,232 --> 04:43:19,636
both. Frank Maloney, Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Samantha Best, Rogers, Arizona,

4340
04:43:20,096 --> 04:43:25,700
Arkansas. Yeah, Arkansas, 210.6, 60 cents. Yesterday, my 15-year-old son

4341
04:43:25,760 --> 04:43:28,061
looked at me with disgust in his eyes and asked,

4342
04:43:28,462 --> 04:43:31,584
are you finally going to donate now? So yes, I

4343
04:43:31,744 --> 04:43:34,366
am. This is long overdue, and I regret that it

4344
04:43:34,386 --> 04:43:36,827
took something of this magnitude to call me to action.

4345
04:43:37,308 --> 04:43:39,929
My husband and I found no agenda during COVID, and

4346
04:43:39,969 --> 04:43:43,232
it legitimized all that we felt during that time. My

4347
04:43:43,292 --> 04:43:45,533
young boys listened with us and loved all the jingles,

4348
04:43:45,573 --> 04:43:48,976
especially Al Sharpton and Goat Karma. Adam, you and John

4349
04:43:49,036 --> 04:43:51,938
have been with us on family vacations, long solo drives,

4350
04:43:51,978 --> 04:43:55,340
drinking coffee on the porch, other parts of our lives.

4351
04:43:55,860 --> 04:43:58,122
I am forever grateful to have found no agenda and

4352
04:43:58,142 --> 04:44:02,004
will sorely miss everything and learning from John, sending hugs

4353
04:44:02,084 --> 04:44:04,866
and positive energy to his family, friends, and all who

4354
04:44:04,966 --> 04:44:09,850
loved him. Jingles, that's true. Al Sharpton, the one with

4355
04:44:10,010 --> 04:44:13,192
Sigourney Weaver. Samantha Best. And you get a dedouching, of

4356
04:44:13,272 --> 04:44:21,157
course. You've been dedouched. Matthew Knows, Nashville, Tennessee, 21060. I'd

4357
04:44:21,198 --> 04:44:23,479
like to send my condolences to the Dvorak and Curry

4358
04:44:23,559 --> 04:44:26,201
families. We'll be praying for you. Thanks to both John

4359
04:44:26,261 --> 04:44:28,863
and Adam for the analysis and entertainment over the years.

4360
04:44:28,963 --> 04:44:31,525
John is truly one of a kind, and he will

4361
04:44:31,605 --> 04:44:37,529
be greatly missed. Sir Clintilius of the Pacific Northwest 20888,

4362
04:44:37,929 --> 04:44:40,291
and he wants that's not a great question, and that's

4363
04:44:40,391 --> 04:44:43,793
true. In the morning, I'm truly grateful for the incredible

4364
04:44:43,813 --> 04:44:46,275
blessing of finding John through Twit and then being able

4365
04:44:46,315 --> 04:44:49,857
to listen to him twice a week since 2015. Words

4366
04:44:49,957 --> 04:44:52,159
cannot express how I feel since I've learned of his

4367
04:44:52,219 --> 04:44:54,920
passing. I felt such a kinship to a man who

4368
04:44:54,940 --> 04:44:57,602
I've never met in person, but I've considered him like

4369
04:44:57,642 --> 04:45:00,264
an uncle or a father. When my father passed in

4370
04:45:00,284 --> 04:45:04,227
November, I still had John for weekly wisdom. double loss.

4371
04:45:04,747 --> 04:45:07,069
There were only three years difference in age and I

4372
04:45:07,149 --> 04:45:08,850
think that is why I took such a liking to

4373
04:45:08,870 --> 04:45:11,652
the way John thought. Fun fact, they are the only

4374
04:45:11,732 --> 04:45:15,815
two men I've ever heard Soy sauce referred to as

4375
04:45:15,975 --> 04:45:20,318
bug juice. I'm a better man having had JCD be

4376
04:45:20,378 --> 04:45:23,020
a part of my life. Buzzkill, you will be sorely

4377
04:45:23,100 --> 04:45:26,002
missed. Rest in peace. My condolences and prayers for the

4378
04:45:26,022 --> 04:45:28,463
Dvoraks, Adam and Andrew, and all of the No Agenda

4379
04:45:28,543 --> 04:45:31,766
family, Sir Clint Hillies of the Pacific Northwest. And there's

4380
04:45:31,806 --> 04:45:34,768
Sir Daniel J. Lewis from Burlington, Kentucky. Nice to hear

4381
04:45:34,808 --> 04:45:39,791
from you, Sir Daniel J. Lewis. 208-88. Dear Noah Jen,

4382
04:45:39,851 --> 04:45:42,233
the family, I was saddened by our loss of John.

4383
04:45:42,733 --> 04:45:45,115
John was among the first voices I ever heard in

4384
04:45:45,215 --> 04:45:49,037
a podcast when I discovered Twit in 2005 after iTunes

4385
04:45:49,137 --> 04:45:54,401
4.9 stole podcasting from Adam. Wink. I must confess that

4386
04:45:54,421 --> 04:45:56,442
I think my opinion was on the wrong side of

4387
04:45:56,462 --> 04:45:59,665
history when Leo kicked John out of Twit. But when

4388
04:45:59,725 --> 04:46:02,226
I later started listening to No Agenda, I realized how

4389
04:46:02,286 --> 04:46:05,749
much I always appreciated John's blunt perspectives and critical thinking.

4390
04:46:06,409 --> 04:46:08,891
Every time I would hear John read messages about Image

4391
04:46:08,971 --> 04:46:11,433
Makers Inc. with a K, I would kick myself for

4392
04:46:11,493 --> 04:46:14,515
not sending him my make good for a past omitted

4393
04:46:14,555 --> 04:46:16,996
donation note. And I kept meaning to send a new

4394
04:46:17,057 --> 04:46:21,039
note to have John read Prompting My New Podcasting Tool,

4395
04:46:21,439 --> 04:46:25,062
but written in the style of Linda Lupac. messages. Although

4396
04:46:25,102 --> 04:46:28,464
I'm a pod speeder, I listened to episode 1888 and

4397
04:46:28,524 --> 04:46:34,288
re-listened to 1887 at one time speed to absorb every

4398
04:46:34,368 --> 04:46:37,230
emotion. Good for you, Daniel J. I also couldn't help

4399
04:46:37,290 --> 04:46:40,933
but chuckle at numerous things John mentioned in 1887 that

4400
04:46:40,933 --> 04:46:44,015
he would probably say were reasons they took him out.

4401
04:46:47,277 --> 04:46:50,019
I'm late sending this report because I struggled over how

4402
04:46:50,079 --> 04:46:51,980
to express what I wanted to say, but I think

4403
04:46:52,080 --> 04:47:07,080
Romans 10, 18 to 13 says it best. But what

4404
04:47:12,614 --> 04:47:27,614
does it say? all who call on him. For everyone

4405
04:47:27,785 --> 04:47:29,886
who calls on the name of the Lord will be

4406
04:47:29,926 --> 04:47:34,849
saved. Faithfully, Sir Daniel J. Lewis, Knight of Podcasting 2.0.

4407
04:47:36,090 --> 04:47:41,214
Sir David Sunder, Pacific Grove, California, 20888. Adam and John.

4408
04:47:42,034 --> 04:47:44,036
I wanted to say I'm sorry for this delayed value

4409
04:47:44,076 --> 04:47:46,337
for value. Things have been crazy lately. My wife and

4410
04:47:46,397 --> 04:47:49,439
I retired early exit strategy and my oldest is going

4411
04:47:49,479 --> 04:47:52,522
away to college in Estonia. I've been meaning to donate

4412
04:47:52,542 --> 04:47:54,023
to let you know how much a show has meant

4413
04:47:54,043 --> 04:47:56,124
to me and my family over the past 15 years

4414
04:47:56,164 --> 04:47:58,766
or so. So hearing of John's passing was like a

4415
04:47:58,826 --> 04:48:01,348
gut punch. I have to say that it hurts more

4416
04:48:01,408 --> 04:48:04,770
than the passing of anyone except close family members. But

4417
04:48:04,790 --> 04:48:06,591
then John has been part of my life for so

4418
04:48:06,691 --> 04:48:08,613
long in one way or the other that it's hard

4419
04:48:08,653 --> 04:48:23,653
to remember when he entered my life. Wow. For that,

4420
04:48:24,984 --> 04:48:29,127
I am thankful to you both and to everyone that

4421
04:48:29,167 --> 04:48:32,809
supported you along the way, family, friends, and producers. I

4422
04:48:32,929 --> 04:48:34,490
don't know what my life would be like if I

4423
04:48:34,590 --> 04:48:36,412
hadn't had you both in it, but I wouldn't be

4424
04:48:36,492 --> 04:48:39,574
as good or as interesting as it has been. Thank

4425
04:48:39,634 --> 04:48:41,975
you for missing my night years ago so that I

4426
04:48:42,035 --> 04:48:44,397
could take on the Black Knight title. I am sorry

4427
04:48:44,457 --> 04:48:47,439
for this long note, John. I've always kept donation notes

4428
04:48:47,539 --> 04:48:49,761
short out of respect, but I had to take this

4429
04:48:49,901 --> 04:48:53,283
opportunity to thank you or I'd regret it forever. John

4430
04:48:53,323 --> 04:48:55,645
and Adam, you have my gratitude. and love mimi and

4431
04:48:55,665 --> 04:48:57,886

there. I'm here. Okay, go ahead. All right. We just

04:49:23,243 --> 04:49:26,546
had... Camille. Camille. We just read Camille, didn't we? No,

4439
04:49:26,626 --> 04:49:29,147
we're doing Camille now. Oh, we're doing Camille now. All

4440
04:49:29,147 --> 04:49:34,811
right. Camille Katani, Iron River. That's in the Michigan U.K.

4441
04:49:35,692 --> 04:49:39,434
Um, 208. Hello, family. I want to make my first

4442
04:49:39,434 --> 04:49:41,916
donation to the No Agenda show. I've been listening since

4443
04:49:41,916 --> 04:49:44,618
2020, which means I've officially been a douchebag until now.

4444
04:49:45,599 --> 04:49:47,160
saddens me that it took the passing of John C.

4445
04:49:47,260 --> 04:49:49,761
Dvorak for me to finally become a producer, but his

4446
04:49:49,801 --> 04:49:51,503
passing has hit me square in the mouth and made

4447
04:49:51,543 --> 04:49:53,924
me realize just how much this podcast has meant to

4448
04:49:53,964 --> 04:49:57,167
me. Please forgive me. The impact No Agenda has had

4449
04:49:57,247 --> 04:49:59,288
on my life, my family, and the people I've shared

4450
04:49:59,308 --> 04:49:59,968
it with is truly...

4451
04:50:00,000 --> 04:50:00,060
- Tosht. - Niywian Cartini, Torrington, Connecticut. I've been listening

4452
04:50:00,060 --> 04:50:03,762
valuable. It's given me peace, encouraged me to question what

4453
04:50:03,802 --> 04:50:05,723
I'm told, and helped me realize that I don't have

4454
04:50:05,723 --> 04:50:11,808
to live in fear. Rest in peace, John C. Dvorak.

4455
04:50:14,489 --> 04:50:18,012
on Shouts Your Name out randomly whenever the opportunity arises.

4456
04:50:18,992 --> 04:50:20,974
When we were contemplating a name for his little brother,

4457
04:50:20,994 --> 04:50:24,036
we were adamant that we should name him John C.

4458
04:50:24,136 --> 04:50:28,219
Dvorak. This show has been part of our homeschooling journey

4459
04:50:28,239 --> 04:50:30,200
and will continue to be, even though this loss will

4460
04:50:30,220 --> 04:50:32,241
leave a hole in our hearts. Adam Curry, I love

4461
04:50:32,281 --> 04:50:34,243
you, I'm praying for you, and I'm proud to support

4462
04:50:34,263 --> 04:50:38,146
the show. God bless. Camille Catani. Yes, let me give

4463
04:50:38,186 --> 04:50:46,791
her a de-douche. You've been de-douched. She also mentions number

4467

John's passing. He will be missed. Mimi, we are praying

4468
04:51:06,104 --> 04:51:08,006
for you and your family. Adam, we are praying for

4469
04:51:08,046 --> 04:51:12,289
you as well. Please de-douche me. Thanks, David. You've been...

4470
04:51:22,796 --> 04:51:26,158
to the show since COVID hit. Since then, I... listening

4471
04:51:26,158 --> 04:51:29,080
to show and I love it. I love JCD's voices

4472
04:51:29,080 --> 04:51:31,782
and I'll miss him even I don't know him. I'm

4473
04:51:31,842 --> 04:51:33,683
shocked to hear his passing. I'm sorry for your loss.

to Adam, Mimi, and all of John's family, my heartfelt

4477
04:51:53,417 --> 04:51:56,159
condolences to all of you. I just don't know, I

4478
04:51:56,219 --> 04:51:58,420
just don't really know how to put things adequately in

4479
04:51:58,460 --> 04:52:00,462
simple words, but I know John was a stickler for,

4480
04:52:01,863 --> 04:52:06,766
try to do it right. Spoiler, he... Well, anyway. Like

4481
04:52:06,846 --> 04:52:09,928
so many others, I first came across JCD on Twit,

4482
04:52:10,008 --> 04:52:11,609
then followed him to Cranky Geeks, and then to No

4483
04:52:11,669 --> 04:52:14,111
Agenda. Through all this time, he has been someone who

4484
04:52:14,171 --> 04:52:16,433
not only informed and entertained me, but influenced the way

4485
04:52:16,492 --> 04:52:18,714
I thought about the world around me. He was always

4486
04:52:18,734 --> 04:52:20,835
a professional curmudgeon, but I always had the sense he

4487
04:52:20,996 --> 04:52:23,938
presented himself that way with a quiet, perhaps even ironic

4488
04:52:24,018 --> 04:52:26,539
smile deep down. I never had the chance to meet

4489
04:52:26,559 --> 04:52:29,281
John in person, although I almost did one time when

4490
04:52:29,321 --> 04:52:32,443
I visited Leo's studio many years ago of twit. John

4491
04:52:32,483 --> 04:52:34,745
was listed as a guest but unfortunately had to pull

4492
04:52:34,805 --> 04:52:36,987
out a short notice. I would have so loved to

4493
04:52:36,987 --> 04:52:40,669
have met him. I've been a Nojenta producer and donor

4494
04:52:40,709 --> 04:52:44,271
since probably episode 70 and John has always been there

4495
04:52:44,331 --> 04:52:46,933
each week like a long time reliable friend. I always

4496
04:52:46,953 --> 04:52:49,555
got a kick out of email from him even if

4497
04:52:49,555 --> 04:52:52,097
he didn't agree with me on whatever topic was whatever

4498
04:52:52,097 --> 04:52:54,658
the topic was well almost especially if he didn't like

4499
04:52:54,699 --> 04:52:57,000
so many in the no agenda family i am heartbroken

4500
04:52:57,020 --> 04:52:59,302
at the news of his passing i am though grateful

4501
04:52:59,342 --> 04:53:01,563
that it was peaceful even more so for the legacy

4502
04:53:03,525 --> 04:53:05,506
I feel as though I've lost a friend. Adam, your

4503
04:53:05,546 --> 04:53:09,929
tribute in episode 1,888 was beautiful. I was in tears.

4504
04:53:10,029 --> 04:53:12,070
Much love and respect to you. Mimi, best wishes to

4505
04:53:12,130 --> 04:53:14,052
you and your loved ones, from my family to yours.

Our thoughts are with you. Rest in peace, John C.

there's been an outpouring of love and loss from everyone

4512
04:53:36,167 --> 04:53:37,888
I've talked to in the no-gender community, whether on the

4513
04:53:37,908 --> 04:53:41,550
phone, on Zoom, or on LinkedIn. It just reemphasizes to

4514
04:53:41,611 --> 04:53:43,992
me what an incredible global family he and Adam created.

4515
04:53:44,372 --> 04:53:45,914
I'm so grateful to be part of it. Rest in

4520
04:54:08,389 --> 04:54:10,790
find a new co-host, they'll have big shoes to fill.

4521
04:54:11,171 --> 04:54:13,292
You can find it. I'd love to hear John's recording

4522
04:54:13,332 --> 04:54:17,475
of Mimi imitating Amy Goodwin. It involves quacking. I'll have

4523
04:54:17,535 --> 04:54:19,196
to look for that. I don't know if I can

4524
04:54:19,296 --> 04:54:24,860
find that easily. Okay. Can you just do it, Amy?

4525
04:54:25,120 --> 04:54:27,422
And Mimi can just do an Amy Goodwin for us?

4526
04:54:27,942 --> 04:54:34,727
Not off the top of my head. Okay. The fans

4527
04:54:34,767 --> 04:54:40,891
can hunt it down. Sean Dowdy, $198.92. Mimi and family,

4528

my heart and condolences go out to you. What a

4529
04:54:42,732 --> 04:54:44,774
loss for those who personally knew and loved him, as

4530
04:54:44,814 --> 04:54:46,995
well as for the rest of the Gitmo Nation. Our

4531

4538
04:55:22,079 --> 04:55:24,260
you all. I've written and erased this ten times now.

4539
04:55:24,481 --> 04:55:26,402
Words are so pointless, yet at times it is more

4540
04:55:26,442 --> 04:55:29,104
pointless yet to try and stop them. This was so

4541
04:55:29,244 --> 04:55:31,565
unexpected and more crushing to me than ever I would

4542
04:55:31,605 --> 04:55:34,367
have imagined. Sometimes you don't know how deeply attached you

4543
04:55:34,488 --> 04:55:37,329
are to someone's wisdoms and perspective, their voice and wit

4544
04:55:37,409 --> 04:55:39,691
until it is suddenly taken away. He was a good

4545
04:55:39,731 --> 04:55:41,933
man who became terrifically important and dear to a lot

4546
04:55:41,933 --> 04:55:44,234
of people. So too are you, Adam, and I believe

4547
04:55:44,274 --> 04:55:46,396
in you and will remain your supporter. This is a

4548
04:55:46,456 --> 04:55:48,637
very special loss for you, and I wish you the

4549
04:55:48,657 --> 04:55:50,859
best in navigating it and coming out the other side

4550
04:55:50,919 --> 04:55:54,721
intact. There's so much more. There is so much more

4551
04:55:54,741 --> 04:55:56,483
that I wish I could do. You certainly are in

4552
04:55:56,523 --> 04:55:58,764
my prayers. Love to you all and peace to all.

for all of you in this time of mourning and

celebration of John. Melting together. He was as authentic as

4566
04:57:28,885 --> 04:57:31,087
they come. And that is true of the show, too.

4567
04:57:31,587 --> 04:57:33,809
No Agenda has led me to become a better, led

4568
04:57:33,869 --> 04:57:36,731
me to be a better professional. importantly, a better friend,

4569
04:57:36,851 --> 04:57:39,753
brother, a better son, husband, and father. Adam, I know

4570
04:57:39,793 --> 04:57:42,215
you meant... will go on in some form. there is

4571
04:57:42,215 --> 04:57:43,916
a way to make John's voice the voice of the

4572
04:57:43,916 --> 04:57:47,118
robot. John was the book of knowledge. I think you're

4573
04:57:47,238 --> 04:57:51,181
hearing, everyone is saying, JC, that they hear a young

4574
04:57:51,461 --> 04:57:56,644
John C. Dvorak in your voice. Oh, absolutely. Yes. Well,

4575
04:57:56,644 --> 04:58:01,107
I've got his vocal cords. Not literally, it's metaphorical. Don't

4576
04:58:01,127 --> 04:58:08,112
get creeped out. Rest in peace, John. Godspeed. Baroness Ladybird,

4577

great a loss. You're in my prayers, and I hope

4582
04:58:31,008 --> 04:58:33,089
you can find some solace in knowing how well John

4583
04:58:33,209 --> 04:58:36,452
was. How well loved John was. Oh, Mrs. Humor and

and prayers to the entire Dvorak and Corolla families. Bastard.

4592
04:59:14,858 --> 04:59:19,441
Okay. I started to try and think of what to

4593
04:59:19,441 --> 04:59:20,141
write, and the first thing I did was I wrote

4594
04:59:20,141 --> 04:59:23,263
a book. There are too many stories and ways inspired,

4595
04:59:23,524 --> 04:59:25,565
angered, or supported me from a distance to try and

4596
04:59:25,605 --> 04:59:28,427
pick just one. But then I realized, John's been giving

4597
04:59:28,447 --> 04:59:29,968
us a tip, just a tip, at the end of

4598
04:59:29,988 --> 04:59:33,470
every show for quite a while. I listen to them

4599
04:59:33,570 --> 04:59:36,272
all. Some are interesting, some are not. Just being honest.

4600
04:59:37,753 --> 04:59:40,135
But if you... John gave a tip about the AA

4601
04:59:40,255 --> 04:59:42,316
rechargeable batteries on Amazon, and I had to have them.

4602
04:59:43,437 --> 04:59:45,999
The way he described them and how they were... disrechargable

4603
04:59:46,019 --> 04:59:47,980
batteries, maybe jump on Amazon and get them while still

4604
04:59:48,000 --> 04:59:49,701
listening to the end of the show. Never used any

4605
04:59:49,722 --> 04:59:52,083
of his tips before. It just seems weird I picked

4606
04:59:52,143 --> 04:59:54,425
now to do something. And now the future, when we

4607
04:59:54,445 --> 04:59:56,866
were spring cleaning or moving or whatever, gotta help the

4608
04:59:56,906 --> 04:59:59,988
person that suggested this 12, old 12 pack of double...

4609
05:00:00,040 --> 05:00:02,941
lay rechargeable batteries should be thrown out. These stupid batteries

4610
05:00:02,941 --> 05:00:04,483
will be used for as long as I can use

4611
05:00:04,523 --> 05:00:06,644
them, but it'll always be in my office as a

4612
05:00:06,644 --> 05:00:09,866
reminder, John. Still can't believe he's gone. Wish he could

4613
05:00:09,886 --> 05:00:12,628
just recharge. We wish we could just recharge him so

4614
05:00:12,708 --> 05:00:14,469
I wouldn't have to miss him, but that's selfish. Oh,

4615
05:00:14,509 --> 05:00:16,751
wow. I'm sure he's resting peacefully and enjoying the outpouring

4616
05:00:16,791 --> 05:00:18,652
of love and support from the greatest family in the

4617

4621
05:00:36,925 --> 05:00:45,971
is that it's... place. You've been dedouched. honor of John's

4622
05:00:45,971 --> 05:00:49,873
favorite number, I donated 188.80 euro plus the fees. Now

4623
05:00:49,914 --> 05:00:53,276
that John's voice is no more part of the best

4624
05:00:53,336 --> 05:00:55,497
podcast in the universe, my Monday and Friday mornings in

4625
05:00:55,537 --> 05:00:57,899
the lowlands won't be the same. I was always eager

4626
05:00:57,919 --> 05:00:59,740
to start listening to a new episode of No Agenda

4627
05:00:59,760 --> 05:01:02,422
and smiling when hearing, usually John's opening sentence. He was

4628
05:01:02,442 --> 05:01:04,824
the best and the funniest. At this moment, I'm on

4629
05:01:04,884 --> 05:01:07,025
holiday in the French Alps with my wife and shocked

4630
05:01:07,405 --> 05:01:09,767
hearing of John's passing. As a sommelier, John would have

4631
05:01:09,847 --> 05:01:12,169
loved the taste of good French wine. Therefore, we raise

4632
05:01:12,249 --> 05:01:13,830
a glass to the memory of John C. Dvorak, where

4633
05:01:13,910 --> 05:01:19,013
the John C. stands for commemoration. Jingles. John's Rosita. I

4634
05:01:19,073 --> 05:01:22,075
have ants. John's spirit donate jingle. One of his best.

4635
05:01:22,516 --> 05:01:27,419
With kind regards, Peter Van Aden. Aden in Friesland. Friesland.

4636
05:01:27,779 --> 05:01:37,626

4637
05:01:38,587 --> 05:01:41,749
Hi Adam, Mimi, and family. My sincerest condolences for the

4638
05:01:41,789 --> 05:01:44,251
loss of JCD. It's the strangest thing to be emotional

4639
05:01:44,271 --> 05:01:45,932
about the passing of somebody you have never met in

4640
05:01:45,972 --> 05:01:48,754
your life. That must mean it was a great person.

4641
05:01:49,014 --> 05:01:50,875
Then again, listening to his voice for six hours a

4642
05:01:50,875 --> 05:01:53,137
week is more than I listen to my wife. So

4643
05:01:53,217 --> 05:01:57,980
maybe it is not so strange after all. We'll be

4644
05:01:58,040 --> 05:02:01,322
greatly missed. Be strong all together. Love and light. Bocca

4645
05:02:01,983 --> 05:02:06,486
over Bosch. That's more than he listened to me. There

4646
05:02:06,486 --> 05:02:12,930
it is. There it is. Dame Slammy. The thing is

4647
05:02:12,970 --> 05:02:17,033
slay me. Dame slay me. Dane Sleamy. Love and blessings

4648
05:02:17,033 --> 05:02:18,814
to the Dvorak and Curry families and all of Gitmo

4649
05:02:18,874 --> 05:02:23,417
Nation. JCD saved lives despite himself. Love is lit. It's

4650
05:02:23,497 --> 05:02:25,679
amazing that I see all these names. I know how

4651
05:02:25,719 --> 05:02:27,800
to pronounce them because these people have been with us

4652
05:02:27,880 --> 05:02:30,282
for years and years and years. I love it. I

4653
05:02:30,422 --> 05:02:34,945
love it. I love it. Sir Slash Doom, Frederick, Colorado.

4654
05:02:35,005 --> 05:02:38,588
198.89. Thanks for everything, JCD. You will be missed, Sir

4655
05:02:38,648 --> 05:02:45,432
Slash Doom. Dame Vigil Annie and Douchebag Hubby. Ha! Okay.

4656
05:02:45,492 --> 05:02:48,875
One nine eight, five cents. To the DeVar Curry No

4657
05:02:48,895 --> 05:02:51,536
Agenda families, I came to No Agenda via John's appearances

4658
05:02:51,596 --> 05:02:54,218
on Twit in 2011, I believe, and became a dame

4659
05:02:54,438 --> 05:02:57,160
on show 1000. This show has been a big part

4660
05:02:57,180 --> 05:02:58,961
of my life for 15 years. It won't be the

4661
05:02:58,981 --> 05:03:01,403
same without John, and it shouldn't be the same because

4662
05:03:01,463 --> 05:03:04,145
John was truly unique. Take comfort in knowing that he

4663
05:03:04,205 --> 05:03:07,227
is fondly remembered by so many. My first Manuka Gold

4664
05:03:07,407 --> 05:03:09,248
order arrived Friday, so I made a toast to John

4665
05:03:09,248 --> 05:03:11,770
with a teaspoon of bee well. Mimi mentioned that John

4666
05:03:11,810 --> 05:03:13,852
had a teaspoon before he passed, so I'm not sure

4667
05:03:13,912 --> 05:03:15,633
if it's a good idea or not, but we'll see.

4668
05:03:18,575 --> 05:03:22,578
It'll be fine. It'll be fine. I've been having it

4669
05:03:22,638 --> 05:03:30,263
for every day since. I'm still here. you Nick and

4670
05:03:30,303 --> 05:03:37,067
Dame Tabitha. 198. We're diminished. Sincere condolences from the Soaps

4671
05:03:37,087 --> 05:03:40,049
family to the Dvorak-Curry-Nojenta families. Now that I know John

4672
05:03:40,090 --> 05:03:41,751
was 80 and the New York Times is a garbage

4673
05:03:41,831 --> 05:03:47,515
rag. Finally he succeeded. Yes, yes, he got it, he

4674
05:03:47,555 --> 05:03:51,137
got it. That means John was 33 years older than

4675
05:03:51,197 --> 05:03:53,999
me. We welcomed No Agenda into our lives six years

4676
05:03:54,019 --> 05:03:56,301
ago, so here's a tribute to John of 6 times

4677
05:03:56,321 --> 05:04:00,563
33, or 198. We'll miss John more than any other

4678
05:04:00,583 --> 05:04:02,845
person we've never met and are so thankful for the

4679
05:04:02,845 --> 05:04:05,167
Thursdays and Sundays we had with him. May the peace

4680
05:04:05,247 --> 05:04:08,429
of the Lord comfort your grieving souls. Love ya. Mean

4681
05:04:08,429 --> 05:04:14,513
it. Nick and Dame Tabitha. Mitchell Rogers, 197.89. My smoking

4682
05:04:14,553 --> 05:04:17,395
hot partner, Shelly, and I have bonded over this show

4683
05:04:17,675 --> 05:04:19,857
for a long time. It'll never be the same. In

4684
05:04:19,917 --> 05:04:26,041
the morning, Mitchell. Two boroughs of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. 188.90

4685
05:04:26,041 --> 05:04:28,643
cents. Hi Adam and the No Agenda team. Rest in

4686
05:04:28,703 --> 05:04:31,404
peace, John. We've lost a great one. Sending prayers to

4687
05:04:31,465 --> 05:04:33,926
the Dvorak family, to Adam, and to the entire No

4688
05:04:33,966 --> 05:04:38,049
Agenda community. I have really enjoyed John's tip of the

4689
05:04:38,049 --> 05:04:40,571
day. Although I'm not a wine drinker, I would routinely

4690
05:04:40,651 --> 05:04:42,592
share the wine tips with my wife in hopes she

4691
05:04:42,612 --> 05:04:44,233
would start listening to the rest of the show, though

4692
05:04:44,253 --> 05:04:47,135
she hasn't caught on yet. I wanted to share a

4693
05:04:47,175 --> 05:04:49,157
personal tip of the day story. I was shopping at

4694
05:04:49,177 --> 05:04:51,138
the grocery store and needed to buy fish sauce for

4695
05:04:51,138 --> 05:04:53,239
a recipe. I was listening to the No Agenda show

4696
05:04:53,299 --> 05:04:55,381
on my headphones while looking for it, and lo and

4697
05:04:55,401 --> 05:04:57,122
behold, John's tip of the day started playing with his

4698
05:04:57,122 --> 05:04:59,524
recommendation for fish sauce, so I knew exactly what to

4699
05:04:59,564 --> 05:05:05,248
buy. Love it. I really appreciate what you guys have

4700
05:05:05,268 --> 05:05:08,430
created and continue to do. Godspeed, John C. Dvorak. Sincerely,

4702
05:05:17,076 --> 05:05:19,557
Rest in peace, John. May God's loving embrace comfort your

4703
05:05:19,597 --> 05:05:22,299
family as well as the No Agenda universe. Your work

4704
05:05:22,359 --> 05:05:25,281
during COVID will always be remembered. Blessings, Randy Wallen, Georgetown,

4705
05:05:25,361 --> 05:05:31,085

4706
05:05:31,305 --> 05:05:37,369
of Atherton, California, $188.90. Dear Meany, Adam, Tina, and the

4707
05:05:37,409 --> 05:05:40,171
No Agenda family. I'm making a donation to Memory of

4708
05:05:40,191 --> 05:05:42,173
John, and I wanted to send along a few words

4709
05:05:42,193 --> 05:05:44,514
with it. I've been a listener for the better part

4710
05:05:44,554 --> 05:05:46,916
of a decade now, but my history with John actually

4711
05:05:46,936 --> 05:05:49,658
goes back much further than that. As a teenager in

4712
05:05:49,698 --> 05:05:53,400
the 1980s heading into my early 20s, I was completely

4713
05:05:53,420 --> 05:05:56,022
absorbed by computers, and a lot of what I taught

4714
05:05:56,062 --> 05:05:59,825
myself came from PC Magazine and the other periodicals of

4715
05:05:59,845 --> 05:06:03,567
the day. John was often the writer with the insider's

4716
05:06:03,727 --> 05:06:08,150
eye, because he'd clearly used the thing and had an

4717
05:06:08,251 --> 05:06:12,193
opinion about it. I read everything he wrote. He was

4718
05:06:12,233 --> 05:06:15,135
part of my education before I ever knew his voice.

4719
05:06:15,936 --> 05:06:18,778
Years later, I rediscovered him on Twit with Leo Laporte.

4720
05:06:19,618 --> 05:06:24,882
Arguing with Nilay Patel. Nilay Patel. Nilay Patel. Messing with

4721
05:06:25,122 --> 05:06:28,764
Leo's newest toys, switching the language on some poor unboxed

4722
05:06:28,805 --> 05:06:31,847
device to Korean or Russian just to watch the gas.

4723
05:06:31,887 --> 05:06:33,808
You know, he did that to my phone. Oh, yeah.

4724
05:06:33,808 --> 05:06:37,350
Of course he did. That's initiation, man. That's part of

4725
05:06:37,410 --> 05:06:41,033
the deal. That's where I first heard about No Agenda.

4726
05:06:41,253 --> 05:06:49,238
And when I tuned in, I got a genuine surprise.

4727
05:06:49,519 --> 05:06:52,060
co-host. The two of them became a real part of

4728
05:06:52,120 --> 05:06:54,962
my life. They were funny, I learned constantly, and I

4729
05:06:55,002 --> 05:06:58,345
loved the irreverence of it all. At a time when

4730
05:06:58,485 --> 05:07:01,667
so much media seemed engineered to keep people anxious, their

4731
05:07:01,747 --> 05:07:04,749
deconstruction of the news brought real clarity. They helped me

4732
05:07:04,789 --> 05:07:13,215
remember to actually think. To ask, who benefits? My listening

4733
05:07:13,295 --> 05:07:16,177
became routine in the best way. I TM'd the fat

4734
05:07:16,237 --> 05:07:19,859
lady singing, washing the car, driving back roads, coffee at

4735
05:07:19,899 --> 05:07:22,941
home on a Sunday morning. Every episode got listened to

4736
05:07:23,081 --> 05:07:25,703
more than once. More nights than I can count. I

4737
05:07:25,783 --> 05:07:28,145
fell asleep to the two of them arguing with each

4738
05:07:28,225 --> 05:07:31,147
other. I never met John and never met Adam either,

4739
05:07:31,167 --> 05:07:34,049
but I feel like I know them. Last Sunday, I

4740
05:07:34,129 --> 05:07:36,691
remember noticing John pause a couple of times, and at

4741
05:07:36,771 --> 05:07:39,873
one point he sounded congested. It took him a while

4742
05:07:39,973 --> 05:07:42,195
to clear his throat, and it bothered me. I wish

4743
05:07:42,295 --> 05:07:44,856
I'd had a way to reach him and just ask

4744
05:07:44,976 --> 05:07:47,278
if he was doing alright. Tell him to check in

4745
05:07:47,358 --> 05:07:51,641
with his cardiologist. That wasn't God's plan, apparently. Mimi, my

4746
05:07:51,741 --> 05:07:55,484
deepest condolences to you and the family. Adam, Tina, I'm

4747
05:07:55,564 --> 05:07:57,625
so sorry for your loss. Get a nation will go

4748
05:07:57,845 --> 05:08:02,688
on. It'll just be different now. God bless. Sir, Dr.

4749
05:08:02,769 --> 05:08:07,152
Jeff. No jingles, no karma for the note. Agenda family.

4750
05:08:07,292 --> 05:08:09,473
No jingles, just karma. Let me give him that. Just

4751
05:08:09,553 --> 05:08:15,717
karma, yes. Yeah, let's give some karma. Karma. Mike V

Berndt from Duluth, Georgia, $188.89 to Adam and John's family.

4755
05:08:32,449 --> 05:08:34,931
Not big on putting myself out in the universe to

4756
05:08:35,011 --> 05:08:37,732
those that I do not really know, but I guess

4757
05:08:37,752 --> 05:08:40,674
your podcast affected me more than I would like to

4758
05:08:40,775 --> 05:08:43,656
admit. I know I'm one of many listeners to reach

4759
05:08:43,757 --> 05:08:47,519
out, but real prayers to Adam and John's family for

4760
05:08:47,579 --> 05:08:50,761
strength and healing in this time of mourning. I'm listening

4761
05:08:50,841 --> 05:08:54,764
to episode 1888, and your courage to share is amazing.

4762
05:08:54,924 --> 05:08:58,026
Thank you for sharing, memories with the no agenda family

4763
05:08:58,106 --> 05:09:01,148
so that everyone can process this loss with you sincerely,

4765
05:09:07,233 --> 05:09:11,616
1-888-9-JINGLES. Heavenly farts, thank you for so much to the

4766
05:09:11,676 --> 05:09:14,698
family that both John and Adam have added to my

4767
05:09:14,778 --> 05:09:17,740
life. John will be greatly missed and always remembered. I

4768
05:09:17,860 --> 05:09:21,062
pray peace and blessings over John and his family. In

4769
05:09:21,222 --> 05:09:27,266
Jesus' name. Sir J. Knight of the Interstate. 1-888-89. My

4770
05:09:27,346 --> 05:09:30,308
deepest condolences to the Dvorak family. I started listening to

4771
05:09:30,348 --> 05:09:33,210
No Agenda after hearing Adam on the Joe Rogan on

4772
05:09:33,290 --> 05:09:37,313
March 4th, 2020. I tuned in to show 1230 and

4773
05:09:37,373 --> 05:09:40,315
I've been hooked ever since. You guys have been the

4774
05:09:40,355 --> 05:09:43,137
bookends of my week. I start my four-day run on

4775
05:09:43,237 --> 05:09:47,540
Sunday and come back home on Thursday. And the best

4776
05:09:47,640 --> 05:09:49,862
show has been with me every mile of the way.

4777
05:09:51,142 --> 05:09:53,224
One of the things that kept me coming back was

4778
05:09:53,804 --> 05:09:57,487
old, cranky guy who was also incredibly witty. Adam was

4779
05:09:57,507 --> 05:09:59,608
the showman, and John was the voice of knowledge.

4780
05:10:00,020 --> 05:10:03,062
I will forever miss JCD, his stories, his deep insights,

4781
05:10:03,262 --> 05:10:10,687
and his unique perspective. You guys came into my... since

4782
05:10:10,687 --> 05:10:16,631
1992 and I think could be filled. I didn't replace

4783
05:10:16,731 --> 05:10:20,894
Rush. I brought me mention and thought and conversation. I

4784
05:10:20,914 --> 05:10:24,276
recently became a Knight on March 13th, 2026, and I'm

4785
05:10:24,296 --> 05:10:26,538
looking forward to the next chapter of the No Agenda

4786
05:10:26,598 --> 05:10:31,701
Show. John's presence can never be replaced, but his legacy

4787
05:10:31,821 --> 05:10:34,703
will live on through the community he helped build. Sir

4788

condolences. Eric in FEMA Region 1-18888. and left. There's going

4790
05:11:13,510 --> 05:11:15,811
to be a big part of that that feels empty

4791
05:11:15,871 --> 05:11:19,354
now without Buzzkill sounding the alarm on bullshit. Saying the

4792
05:11:19,554 --> 05:11:23,957
quiet part out loud. around you both have helped so

4793
05:11:24,037 --> 05:11:39,037
many of us find our own voice Thank you. wealth

4794
05:11:56,259 --> 05:12:00,121
of information. Ride into this sunset easy knowing your exit

4795
05:12:00,121 --> 05:12:04,324
strategy and well. The No Agenda show has helped me

4796
05:12:04,604 --> 05:12:07,126
in so many ways throughout the years, and my heart

4797
05:12:07,186 --> 05:12:09,668
goes out to Mimi, his family, Adam, and the No

4798
05:12:09,748 --> 05:12:13,811
Agenda community. Much love and respect, Eric and FEMA Region

4800
05:12:19,635 --> 05:12:26,960
Tokyo. Anonymous, Bloomington, Minnesota, 18888. I've appreciated what you both

4801
05:12:26,980 --> 05:12:29,301
have done over the years. Very sorry for your loss

4802
05:12:29,842 --> 05:12:39,248
of a great friend. Shepard from Donovan, Missouri. 18888. Dear

4803
05:12:39,328 --> 05:12:42,230
John and Adam, it doesn't feel right to not start

4804
05:12:42,290 --> 05:12:45,232
a donation letter or this note this way. So one

4805
05:12:45,252 --> 05:12:48,975
last time, that's how I'll do it. 2015 was a

4806
05:12:49,075 --> 05:12:51,937
formative year in my life. I graduated college, got married,

4807
05:12:52,277 --> 05:12:54,598
and had my first child. I also found the new

4808
05:12:54,679 --> 05:12:57,901
agenda, so in some way, John has been there as

4809
05:12:57,981 --> 05:13:00,823
my wife, and I created our family and was part

4810
05:13:00,883 --> 05:13:04,285
of it. why I feel quite gutted by his passing.

4811
05:13:05,026 --> 05:13:08,388
My oldest daughter was literally raised with John's voice in

4812
05:13:08,468 --> 05:13:10,790
the background of her life and she feels the same.

4813
05:13:11,150 --> 05:13:15,092
We've cried together. Thank you for all your contributions. You've

4814
05:13:15,133 --> 05:13:20,036
made this the hours. the unseen and heard work, providing

4815
05:13:20,096 --> 05:13:23,558
John with countless stories, opinions, and anecdotes, most of all.

4816
05:13:24,159 --> 05:13:26,480
Thank you for giving your husband and father to us

4817
05:13:26,540 --> 05:13:29,302
for six hours a week. You will be sorely missed.

4818
05:13:29,322 --> 05:13:34,766
I'm Shepard. Sir Brian, the miserable IT guy from Troy,

4819
05:13:35,046 --> 05:13:40,470
Michigan. He did 1-88-88. My deepest condolences to Mimi, the

4820
05:13:40,510 --> 05:13:43,692
entire Dvorak family, and Adam for the loss of the

4821
05:13:43,732 --> 05:13:47,575
legendary JCD. One of my treasured memories is driving John

4822
05:13:47,715 --> 05:13:54,579
around Detroit after the first Michigan meetup in 2014. columns.

4823
05:13:54,980 --> 05:13:58,462
He played it as cool as I could. I played

4824
05:13:58,502 --> 05:14:00,543
it, but played it as cool as I could. We

4825
05:14:00,704 --> 05:14:04,226
talked about No Agenda, Twit, technology, Detroit history, and he

4826
05:14:04,306 --> 05:14:09,850
complained about the cheap car. We visited Michigan Central Station,

4827
05:14:10,290 --> 05:14:13,192
John K. King Rare Bookstore, and a couple of beautiful

4828
05:14:13,292 --> 05:14:16,755
old churches. At the bookstore, he told me to park

4829
05:14:16,995 --> 05:14:19,536
in a no parking zone to be closer to the

4830
05:14:19,636 --> 05:14:22,278
door, and we got a parking ticket on the rental

4831
05:14:22,358 --> 05:14:25,320
car while inside. Let them try to find me, he

4832
05:14:25,400 --> 05:14:28,282
said, while crumpling up the ticket and tossing it in

4833
05:14:28,342 --> 05:14:32,105
the back seat. Classic JCD. Thank you for the memories,

4834
05:14:32,185 --> 05:14:36,568
John. by so many. Sir Brian, the miserable IT guy.

4835

Scott Green from Ajax, Ontario, Canada, $188.88. To the man

4836
05:14:43,513 --> 05:14:46,635

4837
05:14:47,035 --> 05:14:55,901
please accept $188.00. And dedouche me. You've been dedouched. I

4838
05:14:56,141 --> 05:15:01,365
actually have Peter McClay's note for the following $188.88. And

4839
05:15:01,425 --> 05:15:06,488
he says, producer since June 2021 and now seems like

4840
05:15:06,488 --> 05:15:09,871
a good time to complete my knighthood accounting below Jay

4841
05:15:10,151 --> 05:15:12,873
send that send that to me I'll settle for sir

4842
05:15:13,033 --> 05:15:24,341
P Thank you for your courage, John, and may the

4843
05:15:24,501 --> 05:15:39,501
rest of your day be blessed. to meet you. My

4844
05:15:40,131 --> 05:15:42,073
thoughts are with Mimi, the family, and with you, Adam.

4845
05:15:42,133 --> 05:15:44,714
No jingles, no karma. Love is lit. Soon to be,

4846
05:15:45,195 --> 05:15:50,658
Sir Pete. Anonymous, Sacramento, California, 18881. Thank you for your

4847
05:15:50,699 --> 05:15:54,701
service. John C. Dvorak with the C-State. The value of

4848
05:15:54,741 --> 05:15:57,003
a donation would never match the value you brought to

4849
05:15:57,043 --> 05:16:01,526
this world. We are truly grateful. Richard Gardner. It has

4850
05:16:01,546 --> 05:16:03,507
taken me days to finally sit down and write this.

4851
05:16:03,547 --> 05:16:06,329
Learning of John's passing affected me more than I expected.

4852
05:16:06,870 --> 05:16:09,231
My first donation to Know Agenda was back on December

4853
05:16:09,271 --> 05:16:12,153
19, 2010, so I've been listening nearly twice a week

4854
05:16:12,233 --> 05:16:15,235
for nearly 17 years. You both have been such a

4855
05:16:15,255 --> 05:16:16,936
big part of my life for so long that I

4856
05:16:17,037 --> 05:16:20,079
can honestly say John had a tremendous impact on the

4857
05:16:20,139 --> 05:16:23,781
man I have grown into. Our home is stocked. with

4858
05:16:23,841 --> 05:16:27,103
dozens of items he personally recommended over the years, even

4859
05:16:27,123 --> 05:16:29,505
before the tip of the day. They now serve as

4860
05:16:29,565 --> 05:16:32,847
wonderful reminders of John in my daily life. While I

4861
05:16:32,927 --> 05:16:34,408
never made it to a meet-up to see him in

4862
05:16:34,468 --> 05:16:37,110
person, hearing him confidently state that I was definitely from

4863
05:16:37,190 --> 05:16:40,112
New York City, despite my donations coming from parts unknown,

4864
05:16:40,573 --> 05:16:43,254
always brings a smile to my face. There are far

4865
05:16:43,334 --> 05:16:51,740
too many highlights... I fell behind on the show over

4866
05:16:51,780 --> 05:16:54,622
the last few months and was listening at 1.2 times

4867
05:16:54,662 --> 05:16:58,785
speed. backlog. But with this week's news, I immediately reverted

4868
05:16:58,885 --> 05:17:02,908
back to normal speed. I'm taking in every remaining second

4869
05:17:02,988 --> 05:17:05,910
of John's wit and humor, enjoying it for the precious

4870
05:17:05,970 --> 05:17:09,092
commodity it now is. Rest in peace, dear Buzzkill. All

4871
05:17:09,132 --> 05:17:12,915
my love to Adam and the Dvorak family. Jared Collier,

4872
05:17:12,915 --> 05:17:18,839
18880, no note. Mark Brandenburg, 18888. Rest in peace, John.

4873
05:17:18,919 --> 05:17:20,920
Thank you for all the laughs and keeping us sane

4874
05:17:21,000 --> 05:17:24,242
during COVID. Wishing Adam and John's loved ones strength and

4875
05:17:24,282 --> 05:17:30,106
love during this difficult time. Anna Muirhead, 18719. We'll very

4876
05:17:30,186 --> 05:17:33,248
much miss the old curmudgeon. He and Adam C. were

4877
05:17:33,329 --> 05:17:36,671
with us in the car on long trips. giving us

4878
05:17:36,751 --> 05:17:39,693
laughs and keeping us sane, fitting the donation from the

4880
05:17:44,836 --> 05:17:48,619
in the morning to you. Sir Johnny B. I have

4881
05:17:48,719 --> 05:17:51,081
never been so saddened by the news of a passing

4882
05:17:51,161 --> 05:17:54,063
someone I never had the privilege or honor of meeting.

4883
05:17:54,883 --> 05:17:58,025
I will miss John, his email responses that half the

4884
05:17:58,085 --> 05:18:00,347
time were a little dickish if he bothered at all,

4885
05:18:00,927 --> 05:18:04,650
his humor, wit, confrontational attitude towards Adam that spiced things

4886
05:18:04,790 --> 05:18:07,832
up, his obvious love for his family, his good advice

4887
05:18:07,912 --> 05:18:12,215
and tips, his buzzkill attitude, and his I will miss

4888
05:18:12,295 --> 05:18:14,597
this man I never met and still feel like I

4889
05:18:14,697 --> 05:18:17,739
knew a little. I pray for Mimi, JC, Jay, Theo,

4890
05:18:17,939 --> 05:18:20,241
Eric, and the rest of Dvorak's, the Currys, and the

4891
05:18:20,241 --> 05:18:22,282
many people that will carry John in their hearts and

4892
05:18:22,322 --> 05:18:26,965
memories. God bless John. and a family, undoubtedly Sir Johnny

4893

05:18:50,501 --> 05:18:54,484

JCD's passing. The show has provided me with plenty of

4929
05:20:59,520 --> 05:21:02,662
valuable information over the years. I always enjoyed hearing John's

05:21:02,722 --> 05:21:06,325
take on the media and will miss it. Marta van

05:21:24,337 --> 05:21:39,337
like. Oh, we love that place. JCDisms. Finally, my thanks

4936
05:21:58,500 --> 05:22:00,301
to the Night at the Movies for introducing me to

4937
05:22:00,301 --> 05:22:05,265
the show. agenda, house selling karma. Well, I'll give you

4938
05:22:05,285 --> 05:22:10,148
karma. I'll give you a little karma there. You've got

4939
05:22:10,588 --> 05:22:15,832
karma. Carl Schneider, 118.88 cents. I thought we had more

4940
05:22:15,912 --> 05:22:19,915
time. End of an era. Rest in peace, JCD. William

4941
05:22:20,175 --> 05:22:24,678
Montanay, 118.88. John, you will be greatly missed. I know

4942
05:22:24,758 --> 05:22:27,460
you'd want the show to go on as do we

4943
05:22:27,620 --> 05:22:30,102
all, but much like a band that loses a founding

4944
05:22:30,162 --> 05:22:32,263
member no matter how good it may be going forward,

4945
05:22:32,343 --> 05:22:34,545
it will always in some sense be a different band

4946
05:22:34,585 --> 05:22:37,887
with the same name. Rest in peace, Bill Montanay, Mount

4947
05:22:37,947 --> 05:22:42,951
Holly, New Jersey. Christine Phelps, 11692. I'm sending love and

4948
05:22:42,991 --> 05:22:45,512
prayers to John's family and Adam. I'm very sorry for

4949
05:22:45,572 --> 05:22:49,295
his loss. Listening to his stories and kept me company

4950
05:22:49,355 --> 05:22:52,217
whether on the road, at work, or doing dishes. This

4951
05:22:52,297 --> 05:22:55,719
is one of my comfort podcasts, love and light. Chevalier

4952
05:22:55,939 --> 05:23:00,182
Pierre Lamouch, a row of sticks, 1111. John, if they

4953
05:23:00,242 --> 05:23:02,784
are letting you listen to this show... Thank you for

4954
05:23:02,824 --> 05:23:07,247
your courage, Chevalier Pierre Lamouch. Sir James of Norway and

4955
05:23:07,347 --> 05:23:11,410
Riksdag Norway, 10888. In the morning, NOAA Genet family. I've

4956
05:23:11,450 --> 05:23:13,992
been with you guys since episode one, which was published

4957
05:23:14,372 --> 05:23:16,674
a few weeks after I moved to Norway in October.

4958
05:23:18,075 --> 05:23:20,236
The move marked a new chapter in my life and

4959
05:23:20,236 --> 05:23:22,397
I'm grateful to have had you with me almost daily

4960
05:23:22,538 --> 05:23:26,020
ever since. Adam, I loved it when you managed to

4961
05:23:26,080 --> 05:23:29,322
make John laugh, especially the handful of times you really

4962
05:23:29,342 --> 05:23:31,243
caught him off guard and he blurted out a big,

4963
05:23:31,364 --> 05:23:35,947
har! Thanks. Thank you. That's all I really wanted to

4964
05:23:35,987 --> 05:23:39,209
do. Thanks to the Dvorak family for sharing John with

4965
05:23:39,249 --> 05:23:41,250
us for so long. He was wonderful and will be

4966
05:23:41,330 --> 05:23:46,234
sorely missed. Yay, Jesus, Sir James of Norway. Jason Watkins,

4967
05:23:46,234 --> 05:23:49,536
10535. Thanks, John, for the years of insight and for

4968
05:23:49,576 --> 05:23:54,860
the laughs. Rest in peace. And Jeremy Toth, 10648. I

4969
05:23:55,200 --> 05:24:00,644
missed that one. I'll do Drone Dork Will, 105.35. Greetings,

4970
05:24:00,704 --> 05:24:02,865
Podfather. This is hitting me harder than I would have

4971
05:24:02,925 --> 05:24:06,688
expected. The No Agenda Show is away from... listen to

4972
05:24:06,748 --> 05:24:09,810
my grumpy uncles deconstruct the world for me. It makes

4973
05:24:09,850 --> 05:24:11,671
me feel like I'm at the kids' table at a

4974
05:24:11,751 --> 05:24:16,394
family function, overhearing my favorite relatives be themselves, not realizing

4975
05:24:16,434 --> 05:24:19,857
they are influencing the next generation. I miss the times

4976
05:24:19,917 --> 05:24:21,998
of sitting with our elders and hearing them tell us

4977
05:24:22,038 --> 05:24:24,400
stories of their lives. I think this is something that

4978
05:24:24,420 --> 05:24:28,062
the current generation is lacking, and it's sad. That's what

4979
05:24:28,122 --> 05:24:30,244
No Agenda is for me. It's a way for me

4980
05:24:30,364 --> 05:24:33,646
to still pay respect to elders I hold high. and

4981
05:24:33,686 --> 05:24:36,568
high esteem and just listen to them. After all, they

4982
05:24:36,628 --> 05:24:38,850
deserve it. They paved the way for us to live

4983
05:24:38,910 --> 05:24:40,971
as we do today. For better or for worse is

4984
05:24:40,991 --> 05:24:43,833
what I think JCD would input here. I will miss

4985
05:24:43,913 --> 05:24:46,875
JCD to no end. His voice, his curmudgeon takes on

4986
05:24:46,955 --> 05:24:49,997
things, his wacky sound effects, and most of all, his

4987
05:24:50,177 --> 05:24:53,419
audio blunders that irk at him all the time. I

4988
05:24:53,540 --> 05:24:55,921
love you too, boomers. Rest in peace, JCD. I love

4989
05:24:55,961 --> 05:24:58,363
you. You don't have to read this part on the

4990
05:24:58,403 --> 05:25:00,384
air if you don't want to, but I will. Adam,

4991
05:25:00,444 --> 05:25:01,985
hang in there, brother. This has got to be a

4992
05:25:02,005 --> 05:25:04,847
rough time losing your dare friend. podcast partner. I feel

4993
05:25:04,907 --> 05:25:06,649
for you. I'm giving you a giant bear hug in

4994
05:25:06,709 --> 05:25:09,530
my head. He's gazing down upon us, bumping his mic

4995
05:25:09,671 --> 05:25:13,973
and smirking. Mimi, my condolences. John was an amazing and

4996
05:25:14,013 --> 05:25:15,995
we are all lucky to have Marna in our lives.

4997
05:25:16,055 --> 05:25:18,336
We love you on the show and looking forward to

4998
05:25:18,377 --> 05:25:22,159
the next chapter of No Agenda. Okay, can someone else

4999
05:25:22,219 --> 05:25:27,363
take over now? JC, your turn. Oh man, I was

5000
05:25:27,403 --> 05:25:30,525
responding to Troll Room. Where are we? Here we are.

5001
05:25:30,585 --> 05:25:37,610
You're on a troll. Second? 206. 206. All right. All

5002
05:25:37,610 --> 05:25:45,335
right, let me... Uh, Bachtel. Bachtel? Bachtel from Lakeville. $105.35.

5003
05:25:45,335 --> 05:25:48,217
No longer a douchebag. Rest in peace, JCD. Bachtel from

5004
05:25:48,257 --> 05:25:57,984
Lakeville, Minnesota. You've been de-douched. Zachary Johnson, 105.35 cents. I

5005
05:25:58,044 --> 05:26:00,525
found no agenda to be life-changing, and still do. The

5006
05:26:00,585 --> 05:26:02,947
John and Adam combo was perfect. There are few, if

5007
05:26:03,147 --> 05:26:05,048
any, out there with better taste than had John C.

5008
05:26:05,148 --> 05:26:11,513
Dvorak. Peter Lockwood, Richmond, California, 105.35. My wife and I

5009
05:26:11,593 --> 05:26:14,435
are long-term listeners. Over the years, the show has taught

5010
05:26:14,475 --> 05:26:16,576
us how to view the world and media through a

5011
05:26:16,616 --> 05:26:19,058
different lens, and for that, we are forever grateful. John

5012
05:26:19,098 --> 05:26:23,501
was instrumental in that education. He will be missed. Jim

5013
05:26:23,541 --> 05:26:27,984
Warren and Clayton Hyatt, 105.35 cents. We always marveled at

5014
05:26:28,004 --> 05:26:30,426
the breadth of John's knowledge. You'll be missed. Jim Warren

5015
05:26:30,486 --> 05:26:35,409
and Clayton Hyatt. Rocky Thomas, 105.35. As William Shakespeare wrote,

5016
05:26:35,629 --> 05:26:38,951
no legacy is so rich as honesty. Thank you, JCD,

5017
05:26:39,112 --> 05:26:41,593
for your candor and courage. You'll be missed, but your

5018
05:26:41,633 --> 05:26:49,298
impact on others is eternal. Thank you. Edgar Schatz, Beaverton,

5019
05:26:49,359 --> 05:26:53,101
Oregon, 105.35. I may have never met John, but he

5020
05:26:53,161 --> 05:26:56,303
made a lasting impact in my life. you will be

5021
05:26:56,343 --> 05:26:58,805
missed. In many ways, everyone kind of met him. They

5022
05:26:58,905 --> 05:27:06,030
just, he didn't meet them. Yeah, it's true. Marianne Delphia,

5023
05:27:06,090 --> 05:27:13,935
105, 35. No note. Neil Eide, 80. Eide, or one

5024
05:27:13,955 --> 05:27:17,278
of those two. 105, 35. Thank you, John, for the

5025
05:27:17,298 --> 05:27:21,580
insights, tips, jokes, critiques, calm, diversions, and deconstruction you've provided

5026
05:27:21,640 --> 05:27:23,922
to No Agenda community. We miss you and we hope

5027
05:27:23,942 --> 05:27:30,867
you rest in peace. Dean W. Evans, 105.35. Just heard

5028
05:27:30,947 --> 05:27:33,389
via Daily Tech News Show. Sitting here with a whiskey

5029
05:27:33,429 --> 05:27:36,331
and cigar in the UK as I heard... So it's

5030
05:27:36,391 --> 05:27:39,012
now in memory of John. The man will be missed.

5031
05:27:42,014 --> 05:27:48,359
I'm sure dad would ask, what whiskey? What cigar? Yes.

5032
05:27:48,399 --> 05:27:53,822
Exactly right. John Sweeney, 105.35. We all cried when we

5033
05:27:53,883 --> 05:27:56,044
heard the news, but feel blessed by his memory and

5034
05:27:56,104 --> 05:27:58,346
all he's given to the world. A true hearer may

5035
05:27:58,446 --> 05:28:04,750
he rest in peace. Joshua Patter, 105.35. I need to

5036
05:28:04,810 --> 05:28:09,133
know, was John bumping the mic a bit? No. It

5037
05:28:09,173 --> 05:28:13,616
almost certainly wasn't. start as an accident and end up

5038
05:28:13,696 --> 05:28:17,038
as a bit? Love all you guys. It was not

5039
05:28:17,138 --> 05:28:19,540
a bit. He was super annoying with his bumping of

5040
05:28:19,620 --> 05:28:21,601
the mic, which he always said he wasn't doing, but

5041
05:28:21,661 --> 05:28:24,904
he was. He was bumping the mic. I mean, this

5042
05:28:24,964 --> 05:28:27,225
mic stand is about a thousand years old. I think

5043
05:28:27,285 --> 05:28:29,807
it was the first one ever created on Earth. It

5044
05:28:29,887 --> 05:28:34,310
is old and it's filthy. And it's in the way.

5045
05:28:34,350 --> 05:28:37,872
And it leans. It leans. It was made in Rome.

5046
05:28:37,933 --> 05:28:42,996
It's got Latin on it. Yes, there you go. Yeah.

5047
05:28:43,216 --> 05:28:44,997
And it's really hard not to bump it the way

5048
05:28:44,997 --> 05:28:48,079
this room's set up. So there's that. So it wasn't

5049
05:28:48,099 --> 05:28:53,723
a bit. It was just a bit annoying. Yeah. I'll

5050
05:28:53,763 --> 05:28:58,366
keep it up. So, go ahead, JC. Jesse Miller, 105.35.

5051
05:28:59,207 --> 05:29:02,069
No, you didn't finish Joshua Parker. Love you all, you

5052
05:29:02,149 --> 05:29:03,390
guys. Oh, yeah. Love all you guys in the No

5053
05:29:03,390 --> 05:29:08,013
Agenda family. Gonna miss the old coot. Jesse Miller, 105.35.

5054
05:29:08,353 --> 05:29:10,255
This is my second donation over two years of being

5055
05:29:10,315 --> 05:29:12,456
hit in the mouth. Unfortunately, this donation will not make

5056
05:29:12,496 --> 05:29:14,838
JCD less grumpy. But I just wanted to thank you

5057
05:29:14,898 --> 05:29:18,740
guys for your... I've looked forward to each and every

5058
05:29:18,820 --> 05:29:21,943
pod, and I've always enjoyed... I never met the guy,

5059
05:29:22,063 --> 05:29:23,864
but he felt like family, and I'm devastated to see

5060
05:29:23,964 --> 05:29:26,806
John go. My heart goes out to you, Adam, and

5061
05:29:26,926 --> 05:29:29,408
all of John's family and friends. Rest in peace, John.

5062
05:29:29,928 --> 05:29:33,570
Ben Clement, 105.35. Dear John, for decades you have shared

5063
05:29:33,570 --> 05:29:36,773
your witty personality with us. best insights with your tips

5064
05:29:36,813 --> 05:29:39,354
and opinions and even showed how to should sound like.

5065
05:29:39,955 --> 05:29:41,716
Be it on Cranky Geeks, Tech 5, or the No

5066
05:29:41,776 --> 05:29:43,878
Genta Show, just to name a few, you've been a

5067
05:29:43,898 --> 05:29:47,140
true inspiration. safe trip to that big round table up

5068
05:29:47,180 --> 05:29:50,102
there. And that Adam, Mimi, and the rest of your

5069
05:29:50,142 --> 05:29:52,363
family and loved ones will find the strength that they

5070
05:29:52,383 --> 05:29:54,945
will need in these difficult times. I'd like to request

5071
05:29:54,985 --> 05:29:57,887
to turn down your speakers and you've got karma jingle.

5072
05:29:59,668 --> 05:29:59,989
Stephen.

5073
05:30:00,180 --> 05:30:03,442
Steve Brown, 105.35, best tech pundit in history. In an

5074
05:30:03,442 --> 05:30:05,663
industry full of BS, John was the voice of no

5075
05:30:05,763 --> 05:30:11,828
BS. Sir Mama's Boy of the Ark Welders and Dame

5076
05:30:12,288 --> 05:30:16,511
Rosie Posey. 105.35. Dear Mimi and Adam, we are sorry

5077
05:30:16,531 --> 05:30:18,492
to hear about the passing of John. My mom and

5078
05:30:18,612 --> 05:30:21,634
I hope you and the rest of the Dvorak family

5079
05:30:21,834 --> 05:30:24,136
heal with those you hold dear and close to and

5080
05:30:24,176 --> 05:30:25,837
pray that John is resting in peace with the Lord.

5081
05:30:26,177 --> 05:30:28,159
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5082
05:30:28,519 --> 05:30:32,081
Matthew 5.4. It breaks my heart that I'll never get

5083
05:30:32,101 --> 05:30:34,223
to meet the man himself, and it breaks even more

5084
05:30:34,283 --> 05:30:36,845
to hear about what kind of man he was. His

5085
05:30:36,885 --> 05:30:39,466
advice, tip of the day, media deconstructions, along with Adam,

5086
05:30:39,807 --> 05:30:41,688
have helped me keep an open mind in what goes

5087
05:30:41,768 --> 05:30:43,509
on in the world we know, what to watch out

5088
05:30:43,589 --> 05:30:45,871
for with information presented in the news, and as always,

5089
05:30:46,311 --> 05:30:50,794
keep our amigdilas. small with his humor, hot takes, and

5090
05:30:50,834 --> 05:30:53,256
life stories. His deeds, actions, and words will not be

5091
05:30:53,316 --> 05:30:57,038
forgotten. Sincerely with much love and support, Sir Mama Boy

5092
05:30:57,098 --> 05:31:00,181
of the Arc Welders, Paul Lincolns, and Dame Rosie Posey,

5093
05:31:00,361 --> 05:31:03,383
Rose Lincolns. Please do not stop this podcast. It is

5094
05:31:03,423 --> 05:31:08,726
important for all of the reasons above. Mike E. Burnley,

5095
05:31:08,987 --> 05:31:18,253
St. Augustine, Florida. 105.35. No note. Craig Jones, 10535. Instead

5096
05:31:18,313 --> 05:31:20,574
of usual condolences, I wanted to share a memory of

5097
05:31:20,614 --> 05:31:24,357
JCD. In the mid-2010s, as a newly minted no-agenda baronet

5098
05:31:24,437 --> 05:31:27,099
in my mid-20s, I emailed John because I was convinced

5099
05:31:27,159 --> 05:31:29,420
I wanted a career in tech journalism and wanted advice

5100
05:31:29,501 --> 05:31:31,822
on how to break into the industry. Rather than ignore

5101
05:31:31,882 --> 05:31:34,444
my email, which would be understandable given how many emails

5102
05:31:34,484 --> 05:31:37,026
he must have been receiving, he replied. In fact, he

5103
05:31:37,106 --> 05:31:39,027
gave me his number and took the time to talk

5104
05:31:39,087 --> 05:31:42,209
with me. When I called, his advice was simple. Don't

5105
05:31:42,289 --> 05:31:46,812
do it. He said I'd... He said, I'd struggle to

5106
05:31:46,852 --> 05:31:49,894
make a living or find stable work. Soon afterward, many

5107
05:31:50,135 --> 05:31:53,077
major tech blogs, podcasts, and publications folded or downsized, and

5108
05:31:53,097 --> 05:31:56,179
he turned out to be absolutely right. That honest advice

5109
05:31:56,259 --> 05:31:57,940
helped change the course of my life. It led me

5110
05:31:57,980 --> 05:32:00,322
down a different path. One that ultimately brought me a

5111
05:32:00,542 --> 05:32:03,524
beautiful life and a beautiful wife. He may have helped

5112
05:32:03,564 --> 05:32:06,806
saved me from years of hardship. and I've never forgotten

5113
05:32:06,826 --> 05:32:10,328
his kindness or honesty. Rest in peace, John's... JCD. Now

5114
05:32:10,328 --> 05:32:12,370
you can taste wine, cook chili, and deconstruct the media

5115
05:32:12,410 --> 05:32:14,591
and complain about terrible writing all day long. Down here,

5116
05:32:14,671 --> 05:32:23,837
we'll miss you, Buzzkill. Is BT short for something? No?

5117
05:32:25,239 --> 05:32:32,143
Probably "Baronet," Dave. Oh, it could be "Baronet." Dave the

5118
05:32:32,163 --> 05:32:36,126
Reformed and Keeper Melissa. 105.35. I've been a fan of

5119
05:32:36,126 --> 05:32:38,688
JCD since 1995 when he got me with an April

5120
05:32:38,728 --> 05:32:43,791
Fool's article about how two-bit computing would take over. Right.

5121
05:32:45,012 --> 05:32:48,574
I remember that one. That was great. Yeah. Was I

5122
05:32:48,875 --> 05:32:52,537
ever so young? We'll sorely miss John's voice and the

5123
05:32:52,537 --> 05:32:55,139
way he kept our feet on the ground. BT, Dave

5124
05:32:55,179 --> 05:32:58,921
the Reformed, and Keeper Melissa. Sir Sam of Birdforshire, in...

5125
05:33:00,442 --> 05:33:03,765
105.35. I started disliking John for all his negativity in

5126
05:33:03,805 --> 05:33:05,906
Mac user, but have been a no agenda listener since

5127
05:33:05,926 --> 05:33:08,908
the early days. You're missed already, JCD. Hope you're up

5128
05:33:08,928 --> 05:33:12,311
there parting with Raven, Sir Sam of Bedforshire, and the

5129
05:33:12,391 --> 05:33:20,256
great, the river great Oos. Michael Lumpkins, 10534. Thank you,

5130
05:33:20,316 --> 05:33:22,958
John, for the years of incredible analysis, your apparent love

5131
05:33:22,978 --> 05:33:25,099
and commitment to the show, your sharp wit, your sexy

5132
05:33:25,159 --> 05:33:28,261
voice, and more importantly, your courage will be sorely missed.

5133
05:33:28,502 --> 05:33:30,303
Prayers to the Dvoraks, the Currys, and all of No

5134
05:33:30,343 --> 05:33:35,526
Agenda Nation. James Holliday, 10534. Thank you for your courage.

5135
05:33:36,507 --> 05:33:42,191
John Doyle, 104, 17. Yeah. Dear Adam, Mimi, and the

5136
05:33:42,211 --> 05:33:45,273
rest of the Dvorak and Noagenda extended family, in honor

5137
05:33:45,293 --> 05:33:47,475
of the great man himself, I will attempt to be

5138
05:33:47,555 --> 05:33:55,440
brief. Right. Yeah, come on, bud. Get real. First, I

5139
05:33:55,500 --> 05:33:57,501
was hit in the mouth by a Google podcast in

5140
05:33:57,561 --> 05:34:00,303
November of 2020 when in the dark depths of a

5141
05:34:00,363 --> 05:34:04,846
paranoid winter, I searched COVID conspiracies. There, and no agenda

5142
05:34:04,906 --> 05:34:08,089
was the top result. I felt the healing effects on

5143
05:34:08,149 --> 05:34:11,271
my amygdala from the first episode, and this bomb later

5144
05:34:11,651 --> 05:34:15,033
led me to setting up a monthly producer plan, despite

5145
05:34:15,133 --> 05:34:20,417
PayPal apparently deleting all activity prior to 2023. second, please

5146
05:34:20,537 --> 05:34:25,080
call out Google Podcasts as a douchebag, even though it

5147
05:34:25,080 --> 05:34:28,182
is bad. Even though it is bad form to speak

5148
05:34:28,402 --> 05:34:30,864
ill of the dead, no matter how much they deserved

5149
05:34:30,944 --> 05:34:34,807
it. I finally reached knighthood earlier this year, though it

5150
05:34:34,887 --> 05:34:38,489
has remained unclaimed until today. John and Adam have been

5151
05:34:38,509 --> 05:34:43,092
my constant companions on my daily 150-mile round-trip journey to

5152
05:34:43,192 --> 05:34:48,076
work these last five years, and JCD's irascible, sarcastic, deeply

5153
05:34:48,156 --> 05:34:51,918
knowledgeable, and always hilarious commentaries were one half of the

5154
05:34:51,918 --> 05:34:57,282
reasons I would willingly donate 20 hard-earned bucks to a

5155
05:34:57,422 --> 05:35:02,666
comedy podcast, quote unquote. To say I was surprised by

5156
05:35:02,706 --> 05:35:07,209
how sad I was upon hearing about JCD's passing is

5157
05:35:07,289 --> 05:35:10,551
an understatement. To affirm that this is the only podcast

5158
05:35:10,671 --> 05:35:12,913
I donate to is a measure of how much John

5159
05:35:13,013 --> 05:35:16,075
and Adam have meant to me over the years. I

5160
05:35:16,255 --> 05:35:19,757
only wish that my portion of the value for value

5161
05:35:19,878 --> 05:35:23,400
ratio was remotely equal to your side of the equation.

5162
05:35:23,540 --> 05:35:27,763
Please, knight me. Sir, not that John, knight of the

5163
05:35:27,843 --> 05:35:33,807
sweet old-fashioned. ribs from O. Denise and John C. Dvorak's

5164
05:35:33,967 --> 05:35:38,330
favorite Costco Cabernet Sauvignon at the round table. Please, Godspeed,

5165
05:35:38,450 --> 05:35:42,013
JCD, and blessings to all who loved you. He really

5166
05:35:42,073 --> 05:35:47,116
liked the year 2018 on that cab. Okay. Sorted. John

5167
05:35:47,216 --> 05:35:56,042
Doyle. Sorted. Yeah. No longer a douchebag. Indianapolis, Indiana. $103.33.

5168
05:35:56,322 --> 05:36:01,886
Miss you, John. Signed, no longer a douchebag. You've been

5169
05:36:02,046 --> 05:36:10,292
de-douched. Sir 3D from Osaka, Japan. ITM from Osaka to

5170
05:36:10,372 --> 05:36:13,074
JCD. I was barely 10 years old when I started

5171
05:36:13,154 --> 05:36:19,018
reading your PC magazine columns in Finland. I grew up

5172
05:36:19,178 --> 05:36:23,681
with computers with your commentary. Later, my critical thinking solidified

5173
05:36:23,681 --> 05:36:26,703
thanks to you and No Agenda. I learned so many

5174
05:36:26,783 --> 05:36:30,346
things from you like this. One time on the show,

5175
05:36:30,406 --> 05:36:33,928
you said there is a thing called Mission Burrito. I

5176
05:36:34,028 --> 05:36:36,650
finally visited San Francisco in May. and had a mission

5177
05:36:36,710 --> 05:36:39,332
burrito and it was great. No, it was great. Are

5178
05:36:39,392 --> 05:36:44,735
you kidding? It was great. During episode 1328 art critique

5179
05:36:44,815 --> 05:36:47,577
segment, you praised my work and said, this guy is

5180
05:36:47,677 --> 05:36:51,600
very funny. It is a highlight of my design career.

5181
05:36:51,700 --> 05:36:58,525
Thank you, JCD. Sir 3D. Kyle Schaefer, $100.88. John was

5182
05:36:58,605 --> 05:37:02,828
the prodigious prognosticator of all things tech and so much

5183
05:37:02,888 --> 05:37:06,490
more. What an icon. Praying that the peace of Christ,

5184
05:37:06,931 --> 05:37:10,633
which surpasses all understanding, would guard your hearts and minds

5185
05:37:10,673 --> 05:37:16,837
right now. Donnie Norris, Torrance, California. $100. You will be

5186
05:37:16,897 --> 05:37:25,403
Miss JCD, Donnie Norris. Josh West from Fort Worth, Texas.

5187
05:37:25,663 --> 05:37:28,565
$100. Hey, Adam, I'm sorry for your loss. I will

5188
05:37:28,605 --> 05:37:30,707
be praying for the Lord guides you in the right

5189
05:37:30,747 --> 05:37:34,870
direction. John, I followed you since the tech TV days,

5190
05:37:34,970 --> 05:37:38,632
and I still can't believe you're gone. You've felt like

5191
05:37:38,692 --> 05:37:42,755
part of my family for decades. First. I want to

5192
05:37:42,775 --> 05:37:45,697
thank you for your career. Twit and your PC Magazine

5193
05:37:45,757 --> 05:37:48,999
articles were an early inspiration for me. When you were

5194
05:37:49,039 --> 05:37:51,361
no longer a regular on Twit, that was the first

5195
05:37:51,421 --> 05:37:54,423
time I felt a JCD void. Then I got the

5196
05:37:54,463 --> 05:37:57,385
first iPhone at lunch and started using iTunes where I

5197
05:37:57,445 --> 05:38:00,987
could search for podcasts. I still remember my first iTunes

5198
05:38:01,007 --> 05:38:03,709
search, John C. Dvorak. I had to fill the void,

5199
05:38:03,789 --> 05:38:06,971
man. That's when I found the No Agenda podcast and

5200
05:38:07,011 --> 05:38:09,113
my life has never been the same. I've been a

5201
05:38:09,133 --> 05:38:13,496
listener since episode one, pre-mouth hitting. Second, I want to

5202
05:38:13,536 --> 05:38:15,317
thank you for the years of hard work on No

5203
05:38:15,397 --> 05:38:18,039
Agenda. I feel like I knew you, even though we

5204
05:38:18,119 --> 05:38:20,521
never met. I could go on, but I'm trying to

5205
05:38:20,521 --> 05:38:24,904
keep this short. Thanks, bud. The void is real, and

5206
05:38:24,924 --> 05:38:27,165
I'm truly going to miss you. Thank you for the

5207
05:38:27,185 --> 05:38:29,767
huge contributions you made to my life. I'll be praying

5208
05:38:29,827 --> 05:38:32,929
for comfort over your family and direction to the No

5209
05:38:33,009 --> 05:38:39,213
Agenda show. Lucas Deaton from Oakwood, Ohio, $100, no note.

5210
05:38:40,074 --> 05:38:43,676
Josh Sewell, $100. I can never thank you guys enough

5211
05:38:43,717 --> 05:38:46,518
for helping me and my family navigate COVID and all

5212
05:38:46,538 --> 05:38:49,300
the other madness with a clear mind. We salute you,

5213
05:38:49,360 --> 05:38:52,603
JCD. You will be greatly missed. Prayers and love to

5215
05:39:01,248 --> 05:39:05,631
yeah, Johnny from Ogden, Utah. There you go. If everyone

5216
05:39:05,711 --> 05:39:07,893
is more like JCD, the world would be a better

5217
05:39:07,933 --> 05:39:10,455
place. He has been the background voice to my life

5218
05:39:10,515 --> 05:39:12,656
for years, and I want to thank my friends Rodney

5219
05:39:12,796 --> 05:39:16,859
and Josh for introducing me to the show. My condolences

5220
05:39:16,899 --> 05:39:20,041
to Adam, JCD's family, and all the No Agenda listeners

5221
05:39:20,161 --> 05:39:23,424
as we all mourn together. Please de-douche me as I

5222

will make my first donation towards knighthood. You've been de-douched.

5223
05:39:33,550 --> 05:39:35,332

5245
05:41:39,568 --> 05:41:42,470
came across your show through a Google search, and No

5246
05:41:42,530 --> 05:41:45,332
Agenda was the top of the list back in 2018.

5247
05:41:45,832 --> 05:41:48,914
From the very first time I listened... me coming back

5248
05:41:49,055 --> 05:41:57,721
for more. Sorry Adam. There was something about the way

5249
05:41:57,841 --> 05:42:01,263
he shared what he knew, explained and deconstructed the news

5250
05:42:01,443 --> 05:42:04,745
and other topics and the stories he shared that really

5251
05:42:04,765 --> 05:42:09,028
drew me in. After that first episode, I knew I

5252
05:42:09,068 --> 05:42:12,611
haven't had the chance to listen to show 1888 yet,

5253
05:42:12,831 --> 05:42:16,213
but on Thursday night, 723, I had a dream about

5254
05:42:16,233 --> 05:42:19,275
the show. Oddly enough, in the dream, it had been

5255
05:42:19,295 --> 05:42:21,957
decided that the show would also include a live stream,

5256
05:42:22,117 --> 05:42:25,219
which made me laugh considering it was something John and

5257
05:42:25,340 --> 05:42:28,542
Adam had joked about just a few short shows ago

5258
05:42:29,062 --> 05:42:32,905
when poking fun at the formats of other podcasts. I

5259
05:42:32,965 --> 05:42:34,606
took it as a sign that it was time to

5260
05:42:34,646 --> 05:42:39,830
donate again, though I wish it were. better circumstances my

5261
05:42:39,930 --> 05:42:42,852
second thought was of the john donation jingle i guess

5262
05:42:43,072 --> 05:42:46,794
even from beyond john still has exit strategy and I

5263
05:42:47,175 --> 05:42:50,217
hope he continues to haunt the show. Again, please accept

5264
05:42:50,257 --> 05:42:53,919
my deepest condolences during this difficult time. No jingles and

5265
05:42:53,959 --> 05:42:55,941
all the karma and love to Adam and John's family.

5266
05:42:56,601 --> 05:43:08,449
necessarily Nick Vass. You've got karma. Eric Kistler. Wow, still

5267
05:43:08,509 --> 05:43:11,231
processing the news. John has been a fixture in my

5268
05:43:11,311 --> 05:43:15,354
life for over the years. My earliest memories of John

5269
05:43:15,574 --> 05:43:27,682
are when I was a nerdy kid. Thank you, JCD.

5270
05:43:27,883 --> 05:43:42,883
Sincerely, Eric Kessler. tuned in for the show on Thursday

5271
05:43:50,678 --> 05:43:53,460
night and saw the title, I could hardly believe what

5272
05:43:53,500 --> 05:43:56,322
I was reading. I am deeply saddened by his loss.

5273
05:43:57,143 --> 05:44:01,866
Today, I made my donation of $100. The memory of

5274
05:44:01,926 --> 05:44:05,909
John C. Dvorak. Yeah, my first donation in $100 in

5275
05:44:05,949 --> 05:44:10,652
honor of memory of J.C. Dvorak. Let's de-douche him. You've

5276
05:44:10,752 --> 05:44:20,819
been de-douched. As an engineering graduate in 1981 who participated

5277
05:44:20,859 --> 05:44:23,841
in the early days of PCs, I always felt John

5278
05:44:23,961 --> 05:44:26,843
was a kindred soul, especially where he would rattle off

5279
05:44:26,903 --> 05:44:30,766
familiar chiptune. I began listening to No Agenda in 2020

5280
05:44:30,866 --> 05:44:33,728
as I welcomed relief in a sea of insanity, and

5281
05:44:33,748 --> 05:44:36,830
I have been a weekly listener ever since. You have

5282
05:44:36,910 --> 05:44:39,952
been my go-to podcast to make sense of the world

5283
05:44:40,092 --> 05:44:43,074
and the craziness of the past five years. My condolences

5284
05:44:43,154 --> 05:44:45,936
to the Dvorak family and to Adam for your loss.

5285
05:44:46,377 --> 05:44:49,639
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual

5286
05:44:49,719 --> 05:44:52,501
light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy

5287
05:44:52,561 --> 05:44:56,363
of God, rest in peace. Amen. Amen. Adam, you were

5288
05:44:56,403 --> 05:45:00,446
blessed with a good friend. a sturdier shelter, he who

5289
05:45:00,546 --> 05:45:08,332
finds one finds a treasure. ITM, John Lance. Steve Shoemaker,

5290
05:45:08,432 --> 05:45:13,896
my last... from Xenia, Ohio. You asked $100. No note.

5291
05:45:13,956 --> 05:45:19,499
Thank you, Steve. I think it's maybe my turn. Scott

5292

and Julie Aljetz. Aljetz. Aljetz. Oh, there you go. $100.

5293
05:45:27,565 --> 05:45:31,027
Thank you, John, for countless hours of entertainment. We enjoyed

5294
05:45:31,107 --> 05:45:33,249
listening to you throughout the years and will miss your

5295
05:45:33,349 --> 05:45:35,831
witty and insightful banner. May you rest in peace from

5298
05:45:49,380 --> 05:45:54,624
I could hear was John's spooky donate jingle. You're haunted.

5302
05:46:15,938 --> 05:46:18,980
media deconstruction, but stayed for your life stories, your dry

5303
05:46:19,140 --> 05:46:22,143
humor, and the unique perspective of your life. to every

5304
05:46:22,203 --> 05:46:25,525
conversation. Over time, you became more than just a voice

5305
05:46:25,625 --> 05:46:29,407
on a podcast. You became someone whose opinions and views

5306
05:46:29,448 --> 05:46:32,169
I look forward to hearing once a week. Now my

5307
05:46:32,330 --> 05:46:36,392
ex-husband, my now ex-husband, hit me in the mouth numerous

5308
05:46:36,432 --> 05:46:39,555
times during a... But it wasn't until COVID that No

5309
05:46:39,635 --> 05:46:44,378
Agenda's perspective on... current events truly resonated with me. The

5310
05:46:44,458 --> 05:46:46,880
show taught me to question what I was being told,

5311
05:46:47,280 --> 05:46:52,263
look deeper and think critically while you're in it. skepticism,

5312
05:46:52,383 --> 05:46:58,548
humor, and narratives shape I want you to know that

5313
05:46:58,588 --> 05:47:00,669
you have had a profound and positive impact on me.

5314
05:47:02,310 --> 05:47:05,773
I am eternally grateful. God bless you, your family, and

5315
05:47:05,953 --> 05:47:20,423
Adam. May you rest in peace. I fell for my

5316
05:47:20,543 --> 05:47:24,585
share of $100. when I got to know that JCD

5317
05:47:24,786 --> 05:47:27,688
will no longer be on the air, you'll be deeply

5318
05:47:27,768 --> 05:47:42,768
missed. I remember that, yeah. I remember. Delaware? Delaware. Yeah,

5319
05:48:00,951 --> 05:48:06,534
that's Delaware. 188 and 189 in memory of JCD. Need

5320
05:48:06,594 --> 05:48:17,182
good karma. You've got karma. Whatever evolves with Noah Jenge

5321
05:48:17,242 --> 05:48:22,345
will be successful, enlightening, humorous, and authentic. As always, Beverly

5325
05:48:47,062 --> 05:48:49,584
I am a pre-COVID listener. John and Adam, you have

5326
05:48:49,644 --> 05:48:52,466
impacted my life more than you will ever know. My

5327
05:48:52,526 --> 05:48:55,088
heart is broken at the loss of John. Whenever I

5328
05:48:55,168 --> 05:48:58,730
hear interesting world events, I always catch myself telling my

5329
05:48:58,830 --> 05:49:01,192
wife, I wonder what John and Adam will say about

5330
05:49:01,272 --> 05:49:05,575
this. Forgive me, John, for never donating while you were

5331
05:49:05,635 --> 05:49:09,137
here. I wanted to extend my deepest condolences and real

5332
05:49:09,278 --> 05:49:12,320
prayers to the Dvoraks and Curries. The Lord is close

5333

made fun of your name, but okay. Laser Crafters, LLC,

Plano, Texas. Plano taxes? I think that's funnier. No, no,

5361
05:51:56,459 --> 05:52:00,742
no. I don't... I started following John when I began

5362
05:52:00,842 --> 05:52:06,566
working for Dick in 1981. He's a boomer like me.

5363
05:52:07,426 --> 05:52:09,668
He had such a sharp wit and I always enjoyed

5364
05:52:09,688 --> 05:52:12,530
when he was picking on Microsoft, IBM, and Apple. I

5365
05:52:12,630 --> 05:52:15,272
heard about the No Agenda show just as Trump 1.0

5366
05:52:15,372 --> 05:52:18,514
was ramping up and saw that JCD was co-host with

5367
05:52:18,594 --> 05:52:23,077
Adam Curry. My reaction was John should be really interesting

5368
05:52:23,257 --> 05:52:27,640
to listen to. However... What's he doing with an MTV

5369
05:52:27,860 --> 05:52:31,423
VJ as a partner? The first two shows were interesting

5370
05:52:31,463 --> 05:52:37,167
and entertaining, but I was so confused. 33, .33, Rebelizer,

5371
05:52:37,307 --> 05:52:40,609
Dames, Nice, V for V. What is this madness? Is

5372
05:52:40,669 --> 05:52:44,392
this a cult? I sent John and Adam a copy

5373
05:52:44,472 --> 05:52:49,795
of the Edge lit signs. I started making using the

5374
05:52:49,855 --> 05:52:52,637
show art. I put a donation check in the box

5375
05:52:52,757 --> 05:52:55,439
with John's, but never got a mention. I assumed that

5376
05:52:55,459 --> 05:52:58,161
the check was lost or thrown away. So I re-sent

5377
05:52:58,261 --> 05:53:00,483
another check with a new note. And of course, John

5378
05:53:00,583 --> 05:53:05,966
said it was my fault. Yes. He'll be missed but

5379
05:53:06,026 --> 05:53:12,230
not forgotten. Rest in peace, JCD. Laser Crafters, LLC. Jasper...

5388
05:53:58,402 --> 05:54:06,107
everyone else has said. I love that. I can say

5389
05:54:06,127 --> 05:54:09,409
it no better. But also this, I wish every listener

5390
05:54:09,450 --> 05:54:11,971
of the podcast knew how good it feels to be

5391
05:54:12,371 --> 05:54:17,015
a sustaining donor microproducer. It's not much, but it's always

5392
05:54:17,135 --> 05:54:22,979
there every month and it always will be. We are

5393
05:54:23,039 --> 05:54:26,101

of us in the Noah generation. His unique ability to

5401
05:54:58,323 --> 05:55:00,945
find the bull crap was second to none. Prayers and

5402
05:55:00,965 --> 05:55:03,807
condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. JCD will be

5403

missed deeply, sincerely. Dame Cindy of the Tito's. Danny Hall,

9365. His wit and wisdom, and he was a lovely

5405
05:55:11,632 --> 05:55:16,976
grouch. Zach of Burien 9365. Hello, friends. To be honest,

5406
05:55:17,036 --> 05:55:20,438
we are devastated. I made a donation on my behalf,

5407
05:55:20,538 --> 05:55:22,519
and my younger daughter made a donation and sent a

5408
05:55:22,579 --> 05:55:24,861
note in on her behalf. This is a note that

5409
05:55:24,921 --> 05:55:26,902
covers the rest of the family that chipped in to

5410
05:55:26,982 --> 05:55:29,184
a third donation so they could all send their prayers

5411
05:55:29,644 --> 05:55:34,327
and comfort to John and Adam's families. Nehemiah, Hadassah, Lauren,

5412
05:55:34,467 --> 05:55:38,010
and Samuel. Nice biblical names. I do have another son

5413
05:55:38,090 --> 05:55:42,733
named Jonah. Hello. Who was a douchebag. Well, douchebag. But

5414
05:55:42,753 --> 05:55:45,055
he was very eager to give his condolences. I think

5415
05:55:45,095 --> 05:55:49,758
he gets a douchebag now. You've been de-douche. I'm not

5416
05:55:49,938 --> 05:55:53,801
buying it. JCD. You have to say it shortly, succinctly,

5417
05:55:53,921 --> 05:55:56,543
and with no inflection in the voice. Zach of Burium.

5418
05:55:57,163 --> 05:56:01,586
Mason Strong, 93-65, talked about promise software, and they got

5419
05:56:01,726 --> 05:56:07,190
John with the pricker. We did talk about that. Wow.

5420
05:56:07,990 --> 05:56:13,494
Todd Wall, that's horrible. Todd Wallace, 93.65. I've been listening

5421
05:56:13,534 --> 05:56:16,216
forever and got me through the Obama years, COVID, Biden,

5422
05:56:16,296 --> 05:56:18,738
and the second term for Trump without you guys cutting

5423
05:56:18,738 --> 05:56:22,480
through the M5M BS. Thank you, and we'll miss Buzzkill

5424
05:56:22,560 --> 05:56:27,344
and his insights and humor. God bless. Frederick Dittman, 93-65,

5425
05:56:27,424 --> 05:56:29,205
feels like I lost a friend and I will forever

5426
05:56:29,285 --> 05:56:31,586
miss that laugh of his and the butchering of names

5427
05:56:31,947 --> 05:56:37,010
and sketchy Dutch pronunciations. Godspeed, JCD. My sincere condolences to

5428
05:56:37,070 --> 05:56:39,832
Mimi and the entire Dvorak family. God bless you all.

5429
05:56:40,673 --> 05:56:44,936
Mark and Andrea Johnson, 93, 65. JCD and Adam have

5430
05:56:44,976 --> 05:56:47,377
meant so much to us throughout the years. My wife,

5431
05:56:47,537 --> 05:56:50,880
Andrea, especially credits JCD's humor with helping her get through

5432
05:56:50,960 --> 05:56:53,661
COVID. We are praying for Mimi and the entire Dvorak

5433
05:56:53,741 --> 05:56:55,763
family in this time of loss. Thank you for sharing

5434
05:56:55,843 --> 05:56:58,104
John with us for six hours a week for nearly

5435
05:56:58,205 --> 05:57:02,728
20 years. Mark and Andrea Johnson, Newburgh, Oregon. Joss Edwards,

5436
05:57:02,828 --> 05:57:06,150
93, 65. In the morning, Adam and the Nohagen family,

5437
05:57:06,250 --> 05:57:10,813
long-time listener, first-time donor, and self-admitted douchebag here. This is

5438
05:57:10,893 --> 05:57:14,236
my first donation of $88.89 plus fees made in lovering

5439
05:57:14,295 --> 05:57:21,801
memory of our beloved Buzzkill. You've been deduced. Special thanks

5440
05:57:21,801 --> 05:57:23,642
to my friend Nigel for hitting me in the mouth

5441
05:57:23,702 --> 05:57:25,583
and introducing me to the show during the peak of

5442
05:57:25,683 --> 05:57:28,585
COVID insanity. That was the start of a run I

5443
05:57:28,645 --> 05:57:31,507
haven't stopped since. John's passing hit me harder than I

5444
05:57:31,607 --> 05:57:35,070
expected. His cranky wisdom and sharp insights trained me to

5445
05:57:35,150 --> 05:57:38,032
question everything. It made me a clearer thinking, and for

5446
05:57:38,092 --> 05:57:42,915
that, I'm forever grateful. I sincerely admire the grace and

5447
05:57:42,975 --> 05:57:45,477
strength you've shown, and my heart aches for the grief

5448
05:57:45,557 --> 05:57:48,619
you and John's family are carrying. I take great comfort

5449
05:57:48,679 --> 05:57:52,121
in God's sovereignty and kindness, trusting that he knows exactly

5450
05:57:52,181 --> 05:57:54,543
what we need and will be with you all in

5451
05:57:54,603 --> 05:57:58,946
this season. Much love, Josh Edwards, 33-year-old from Columbus, Ohio.

5452
05:57:59,987 --> 05:58:04,130
Tori Allman, 9365. Always enjoyed his input and things and

5453
05:58:04,230 --> 05:58:07,312
banter with Adam. We'll miss hearing his opinions. Prayers for

5454
05:58:07,352 --> 05:58:16,338
the family. Uhhhh... Ruard, Ruard, Ruardy, Ruardy, Campbell, sorry, 9364.

5455
05:58:17,018 --> 05:58:20,220
May the vinegar book forever remain unfinished. We love you,

5456
05:58:20,280 --> 05:58:23,803
John. Too late. Yeah, too late. It's happening. Lori Poole,

5457
05:58:23,823 --> 05:58:28,246
9364. Hello, reaching out from Pawleys Island, South Carolina. I've

5458
05:58:28,286 --> 05:58:30,508
listened to Noah Jenner for a few years now, started

5459
05:58:30,567 --> 05:58:33,790
during COVID, and it's my favorite podcast. This is my

5460
05:58:34,070 --> 05:58:36,812
first donation, sorry, I'm a slacker. No, that's a douchebag.

5461
05:58:36,812 --> 05:58:41,235
Of 8888 sent via Vemo in memory of John, de-douching.

5462
05:58:43,136 --> 05:58:46,478
You've been de-douched. I will miss him very much. His

5463
05:58:46,558 --> 05:58:48,660
humor, his laugh, and his tip of the day. I

5464
05:58:48,760 --> 05:58:51,962
actually purchased the knife he recommended last fall. Much love

5465
05:58:51,982 --> 05:58:54,104
to his family, to Adam, all the listeners. He will

5466
05:58:54,144 --> 05:58:57,306
be missed. Also, congratulations on your new granddaughter, Adam. Thank

5467
05:58:57,346 --> 05:59:00,368
you. Side note, Adam, when you first announced on Twitter,

5468
05:59:00,888 --> 05:59:02,970
X, a few years ago that you were baptized, I

5469
05:59:03,050 --> 05:59:04,811
thought you were hacked and it was a joke. So

5470
05:59:04,891 --> 05:59:07,973
glad it was real and you found Jesus. From the

5471
05:59:08,013 --> 05:59:13,637
shores of South Kakalaki, Lori Poole. Thank you. Justin Van

5472
05:59:13,757 --> 05:59:18,300
Tassel, Whitney Point, New York, 9364, and Anne Graff, 9364,

5473
05:59:18,360 --> 05:59:22,383
and Taylor Matthews, 9364. No note, but thank you. Sir

5474
05:59:22,443 --> 05:59:26,746
Digi, Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, 9364. His peace has surely found

5475
05:59:26,806 --> 05:59:28,807
you. Love to your family. I wish we had met

5476
05:59:28,847 --> 05:59:30,909
in this life, but I look forward to your wit

5477
05:59:30,989 --> 05:59:34,971
in the next. Thank you for your courage. Dennis Prziklink,

5478
05:59:35,031 --> 05:59:38,674
9364. Thank you for your service. John, condolences to the

5479
05:59:38,674 --> 05:59:42,957
Dvorak family, Adam, and the whole No Agenda sphere. George

5480
05:59:43,077 --> 05:59:46,499
Semple, 9364. We'll miss you, John. We're praying for your

5481
05:59:46,539 --> 05:59:52,864
family. Josh Mickey or Mikey, 93-64. In 2015, my buddy

5482
05:59:52,964 --> 05:59:55,605
told me this podcast he found called No Agenda. When

5483
05:59:55,666 --> 05:59:57,527
he told me the names of the hosts, Adam Curry

5484
05:59:57,587 --> 05:59:59,688
and John C. Dvorak, I looked at him bewildered.

5485
06:00:00,100 --> 06:00:03,282
The Adam Curry from MTV and John C. DeVore from

5486
06:00:03,342 --> 06:00:06,404
PC Magazine. My world was rocked. I could have never

5487
06:00:06,484 --> 06:00:09,166
imagined a more dynamic duo. I knew Adam from his

5488
06:00:09,266 --> 06:00:12,308
MTV days. In the early 2000s, I subscribed to PC

5489
06:00:12,508 --> 06:00:14,970
Magazine where I was first introduced to JCD and his

5490
06:00:15,050 --> 06:00:19,133
editorial column. I was new to tech. I look forward

5491
06:00:19,152 --> 06:00:22,034
to each month to reading his column and may have

5492
06:00:22,075 --> 06:00:25,537
subscribed to an email newsletter. When I began listening in

5493
06:00:25,537 --> 06:00:27,938
2015 to No Agenda, I was fresh coming out of

5494
06:00:27,958 --> 06:00:30,580
a health crisis and needed a distraction to get well.

5495
06:00:31,081 --> 06:00:33,762
Enter No Agenda. I found it at first to be

5496
06:00:33,823 --> 06:00:36,584
like a morning zoo, but like John's columns, I look

5497
06:00:36,644 --> 06:00:40,087
forward to the shows on Thursday and Sundays. JCD's dry

5498
06:00:40,187 --> 06:00:43,229
wit and his humor, and more importantly, his authenticity in

5499
06:00:43,309 --> 06:00:46,691
who he is was always an attraction to me. I

5500
06:00:46,751 --> 06:00:49,533
will miss him, and not only him, but the dynamic

5501
06:00:49,613 --> 06:00:51,895
that Adam and John bring to the No Agenda community.

5502
06:00:52,215 --> 06:00:54,156
Even when you know the days are limited here on

5503
06:00:54,256 --> 06:00:57,319
Earth and just as well, the No Agenda podcast, nothing

5504
06:00:57,379 --> 06:01:00,241
can prepare anyone for this moment. My love and prayers

5505
06:01:00,301 --> 06:01:02,842
to Mimi and the rest of the Dvorak family. Love

5506
06:01:02,882 --> 06:01:05,264
and prayers to the Curry family and Horowitz family as

5507
06:01:05,324 --> 06:01:07,766
well. It's a beautiful thing to see a life that

5508
06:01:07,846 --> 06:01:11,148
touched millions in the morning and God's blessings to all.

5509
06:01:11,808 --> 06:01:18,273
Joshua Mickey, Fargo, North Dakota. Andrew Hua, Cincinnati, Ohio, 9364.

5510
06:01:18,373 --> 06:01:21,695
Thank you. No note. Ben from Gladstone Park, Victoria, Australia.

5511
06:01:22,376 --> 06:01:25,117
Rest in peace, JCD. You will be greatly missed. Thank

5512
06:01:25,178 --> 06:01:27,499
you and Adam for all you have done. Condolences from

5513
06:01:27,599 --> 06:01:32,803
Ben in Gladstone Park, Victoria, Australia. Michael McInnes, 9364. Rest

5514
06:01:32,863 --> 06:01:47,863
in peace, JCD. Aaron Chamberlain, 9364. Yes, it was shameless.

5515
06:02:04,484 --> 06:02:07,827
wasn't a guess. Once I hooked into no agenda, I

5516
06:02:07,987 --> 06:02:10,869
really got to know John. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the

5517
06:02:10,929 --> 06:02:15,272
jokes, classic stories like torching ants and fisting nuts, crankiness,

5518
06:02:15,352 --> 06:02:20,155
wit and insights, one-liners, Confucius sayings, oh yeah, grousing, moaning,

5519
06:02:20,215 --> 06:02:23,797
complaining, jabs at Adam, talks of the forever vinegar book,

5520
06:02:23,898 --> 06:02:27,120
speaking highly about his family and sharing the dynamic, being

5521
06:02:27,160 --> 06:02:30,302
honest and forward about thoughts and opinions, indirectly teaching how

5522
06:02:30,402 --> 06:02:33,544
to listen and critically think about what you hear. Infectious

5523
06:02:33,624 --> 06:02:36,766
laugh when you get rolling, his phrase from the Shays,

5524
06:02:37,167 --> 06:02:40,409
the three by threes, his hilarious and quite inaccurate imitation

5525
06:02:40,509 --> 06:02:43,551
of Mimi, his pet peeves, rants, and not a great

5526
06:02:43,631 --> 06:02:46,313
questions, and so many other things that I will forever

5527
06:02:46,393 --> 06:02:49,615
cherish and will dearly miss. I never got the opportunity

5528
06:02:49,615 --> 06:02:52,537
to meet John. I've only had one or two correspondence

5529
06:02:52,637 --> 06:02:56,760
through email. But I've never cared that much for those

5530
06:02:56,840 --> 06:02:59,142
kinds of things. His legacy has made an impact on

5531
06:02:59,202 --> 06:03:02,244
me regardless. Because of him, we've also gotten to know

5532
06:03:02,344 --> 06:03:05,946
the great woman behind every man, Mimi. We can't imagine

5533
06:03:06,046 --> 06:03:08,808
everything you and family are going through, but we love

5534
06:03:08,868 --> 06:03:10,649
you guys as much as we love John in my

5535
06:03:10,770 --> 06:03:14,692
prayers and thinking of you guys. Michael Cross, 93, 64.

5536
06:03:14,812 --> 06:03:17,934
John will be dearly missed. For more than four decades,

5537
06:03:17,994 --> 06:03:20,116
he was part of so many lives through his writing

5538
06:03:20,176 --> 06:03:23,818
and broadcasting. His wit and humor were unmatched. Condolences to

5539
06:03:23,878 --> 06:03:27,141
Mimi, his kids, and grandkids, everyone who knew and loved

5540
06:03:27,201 --> 06:03:30,423
him. These are actually 8888, so I'll just stop mentioning

5541
06:03:30,483 --> 06:03:35,066
the number. It's plus the fees. Thank you. Jake counts.

5542
06:03:36,427 --> 06:03:39,849
Excuse me. Rest in peace, JCD. Your authentic take on

5543
06:03:39,909 --> 06:03:42,411
the world left us with one saving grace. We can

5544
06:03:42,551 --> 06:03:45,633
all imagine that JCD would say to all of silly

5545
06:03:45,773 --> 06:03:50,837
Con Valley press releases and M5M, it's a scam. Thank

5546
06:03:50,917 --> 06:03:52,898
you to my neighbor Ryan for hitting me in the

5547
06:03:52,918 --> 06:03:55,780
mouth 10 years ago. Thank you for your courage. David

5548
06:03:55,840 --> 06:03:59,623
Druffner. Prayers for Mimi, John, Mimi, and the family. Loved

5549
06:03:59,663 --> 06:04:02,565
John's takes in PC Magazine in the 80s. Was delighted

5550
06:04:02,585 --> 06:04:05,147
to find him on Twitch. Then no agenda and got

5551
06:04:05,147 --> 06:04:08,549
a double delight discovering Curry again. Much respect for his

5552
06:04:08,609 --> 06:04:15,073
independence. Orange man bad JCD jingle. Yes. Chris Bro. B-R-E-I-U-X.

5553
06:04:15,374 --> 06:04:18,536
Thanks, JCD. You left the world better than you found

5554
06:04:18,636 --> 06:04:21,057
it. From Chris and Angela in Sour Lake, Texas. Please

5555
06:04:21,097 --> 06:04:27,362
say you after Sour Lake, just like... Jim Andrinacos. We

5556
06:04:27,442 --> 06:04:29,843
love you, JCD. May the Lord have mercy on his

5557
06:04:29,923 --> 06:04:34,286
servant. Stephen Corbine. Thank you, Stephen. No note. Alexandra Miller.

5558
06:04:34,807 --> 06:04:37,529
Our heartfelt condolences to John's family and the No Agenda

5559
06:04:37,589 --> 06:04:40,591
family. You're in our thoughts, sending love and gratitude. His

5560
06:04:40,671 --> 06:04:43,773
voice will be deeply missed. No note from Jeffrey Anderson.

5561
06:04:43,913 --> 06:04:48,056
Thank you. Michael Arabinko. Condolences to the Dvorak and No

5562
06:04:48,156 --> 06:04:51,018
Agenda families, although John and I never met. I lost

5563
06:04:51,118 --> 06:04:57,802
a friend. Natalie Taylor, Lebanon, Taylor, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. So sad

5564
06:04:57,863 --> 06:05:00,244
to hear about John's passing. Been listening to No Agenda

5565
06:05:00,284 --> 06:05:03,086
for about 16 years. Heard the news right before bed

5566
06:05:03,146 --> 06:05:05,988
and couldn't sleep a wink. John was a favorite. Deepest

5567
06:05:06,028 --> 06:05:10,071
condolences to Adam, Andrew, Tina, Mimi, and family. So let's

5568
06:05:10,251 --> 06:05:15,875
give you a break. Thank you. Is JC there? He's

5569
06:05:15,915 --> 06:05:19,057
probably in the troll room, trolling the trolls. I'm here.

5570
06:05:19,077 --> 06:05:26,422
I'm here. Okay. So... We left off. The number is...

5571
06:05:26,462 --> 06:05:31,265
297. 297. Okay, I was looking around the 280s. Or

5572
06:05:31,285 --> 06:05:36,149
296. 296, 298. Going once, going twice. Which one is

5573
06:05:36,149 --> 06:05:42,713
it? 296. 298. 298. 298. Robert, write it. 93.64 cents.

5574
06:05:43,994 --> 06:05:46,236
JCD, thanks for all of the value you created over

5575
06:05:46,236 --> 06:05:48,537
the years. You'll be missed. My thoughts are with Adam

5576
06:05:48,597 --> 06:05:51,199
and your family. I read your work in the 80s

5577
06:05:51,279 --> 06:05:54,201
and started listening to No Agenda in 2013. I'll continue

5578
06:05:54,241 --> 06:05:56,543
to be a monthly donor. So you don't have to

5579
06:05:56,562 --> 06:05:58,264
worry about the number. We all know what they are.

5580
06:05:59,565 --> 06:06:01,826
skip that part. But the number for it's fun. Okay,

5581
06:06:01,906 --> 06:06:07,470
fine. Dame Rebecca Pinehurst. Pinehurst, home of American golf. All

5582
06:06:07,490 --> 06:06:10,792
right, anyway. My sincere condolences to the John C. Dvorak

5583
06:06:10,872 --> 06:06:14,455
family and Adam Curry. Lifting up in prayer during this

5584
06:06:14,455 --> 06:06:18,277
time for grace and healing. Dame Rebecca of Pinehurst. I'll

5585
06:06:18,277 --> 06:06:23,081
be birdin'. Godspeed, JCD. John Straub. Don't know why, but

5586
06:06:23,181 --> 06:06:25,122
I loved it every time he tried to get away

5587
06:06:25,162 --> 06:06:27,504
with cracking a seltzer open on air like Adam couldn't

5588
06:06:27,524 --> 06:06:34,488
hear it. Mike Straub is still a douchebag. Arno. ITM,

5589
06:06:34,769 --> 06:06:36,670
Mimi and Adam. In honor of John, this is an

5590
06:06:36,770 --> 06:06:41,393
88-88 donation. Condolences to Mimi, their children, other family and

5591
06:06:41,473 --> 06:06:43,815
friends. Together with Adam, he was the best podcaster in

5592
06:06:43,835 --> 06:06:49,639
the universe. Raw Aguilera. I started listening in 2020 when

5593
06:06:49,699 --> 06:06:53,641
I heard Brett Vanoet talking about it on the School

5594
06:06:53,741 --> 06:06:56,143
Sucks podcast. I fell in love with the show. I

5595
06:06:56,203 --> 06:06:58,385
love John and was devastated to hear this. Thank you

5596
06:06:58,385 --> 06:07:01,847
for everything, John, and condolences to Mimi and Adam. and

5597
06:07:01,867 --> 06:07:06,350
peace. Ditch Walker. Love and light, JCD. I had read

5598
06:07:06,410 --> 06:07:09,492
the newsletter three times before it somewhat sunk in. But

5599
06:07:09,712 --> 06:07:11,974
thank you for all you have done and that your

5600
06:07:12,014 --> 06:07:14,236
legacy will continue to do in the No Agenda community

5601
06:07:14,496 --> 06:07:18,839
and the world that matters. R.I.P. Ditchwalker. Richard Crabtree, no

5602
06:07:18,919 --> 06:07:24,803
note. Sean Bergeron, no note. Jennifer Rain. God bless, JCD.

5603
06:07:24,923 --> 06:07:27,224
You will be missed. Peace and love to all you

5604
06:07:27,324 --> 06:07:31,267
have touched with your wit and wisdom. Eric Hulse. Katy,

5605
06:07:31,327 --> 06:07:35,390
Texas. I'm gutted by the loss of JCD. I never

5606
06:07:35,450 --> 06:07:37,091
met him, but despite that, I feel like I knew

5607
06:07:37,151 --> 06:07:39,613
him. I'll truly miss his voice every week, and I'm

5608
06:07:39,733 --> 06:07:43,295
praying for Adam and the family. Ryan Hasselhorst. No, no.

5609
06:07:43,936 --> 06:07:47,398
Jonathan Chow. Rest in peace, John. Thanks for everything. Thank

5610
06:07:47,458 --> 06:07:51,341
you, Adam. You're doing the Lord's work. Carol Molinari, no

5611
06:07:51,421 --> 06:07:55,724
note. Alan Barker. R.A.P. Buzzkill, thank you for your courage.

5612
06:07:56,484 --> 06:08:03,569
Gabe Tolchensky. No, no. Peter Bennerdahl. R.A.P. John, you brought

5613
06:08:03,629 --> 06:08:08,673
value to my ears for 19 years. Damon Kazakh Jack.

5614
06:08:09,573 --> 06:08:12,235
Thank you, John, for everything. Deepest condolences to his families

5615
06:08:12,275 --> 06:08:16,058
by blood, by friendship, and by no agenda. Gary Grahn,

5616
06:08:16,678 --> 06:08:24,143
Vincent Calawada, Joshua Grover, no note. Sir Bates. JCD was

5617
06:08:24,163 --> 06:08:26,985
the father, grandfather, uncle, brother figure everyone needs in their

5618
06:08:27,025 --> 06:08:32,509
life to constantly challenge your line of thinking. RIPJCD. Forever

5619
06:08:32,609 --> 06:08:38,533
ITM. Sir Bates. Kyle Carroll in Big Spring, Texas. Godspeed,

5620
06:08:38,653 --> 06:08:41,495
Buzzkill. Thank you so much for the wonderful podcast and

5621
06:08:41,515 --> 06:08:44,117
for making my Sundays and Thursdays a little less long.

5622
06:08:45,218 --> 06:08:47,579
You are a steady and ever-present part of my life

5623
06:08:47,619 --> 06:08:52,362
and you'll be missed terribly. Michelle Christ three you will

5624
06:08:52,402 --> 06:08:57,486
be missed jcd3 William Galt. Dvarak is giving me guilt.

5625
06:08:57,686 --> 06:09:00,728
I hear his ghostly donate and feel his hand reaching

5626
06:09:00,808 --> 06:09:03,470
down from above, even in the afterlife. John is working

5627
06:09:03,530 --> 06:09:05,731
hard for the show and his family. Relax well, John.

5628
06:09:05,892 --> 06:09:08,273
I know you won't rest. Though he's mostly just been

5629
06:09:08,393 --> 06:09:13,537
giving us technical difficulties. So he's mostly just, he's just

5630
06:09:13,577 --> 06:09:19,081
mostly pranking. Yeah. Yeah. That's John. Alex Wenka. Rest in

5631
06:09:19,161 --> 06:09:27,286
peace, JCD. Godspeed. Terrence Catapano, Berkeley, California. No note. John

5632
06:09:27,346 --> 06:09:31,069
De Silva, Detroit, Michigan. First time donation, long time DB.

5633
06:09:32,150 --> 06:09:40,435
So sad to hear about JCD. You've been de-douched. and

5634
06:09:40,535 --> 06:09:43,858
Sir Sous Vide. John, No Agenda Show, the No Agenda

5635
06:09:43,898 --> 06:09:45,759
family have all made me a better person. Got to

5636
06:09:45,759 --> 06:09:51,483
spend almost 7,500 hours listening. Prayers to the Dvorak family,

5637
06:09:51,683 --> 06:09:58,087
Baron Zuvide, a.k.a. Robert Smiley. Shogun Sign and Print. ITM

5638
06:09:58,207 --> 06:09:58,848
John, RIP.

5639
06:10:00,040 --> 06:10:03,782
Robert Ballard, No Note. Andy Wyatt, thank you for your

5640
06:10:03,802 --> 06:10:09,706
service. Anonymous. 8888 is the angel number meaning abundance, prosperity,

5641
06:10:09,746 --> 06:10:13,168
and positive transformations are entering your life. Thank you for

5642
06:10:13,289 --> 06:10:15,530
everything you do and my heart goes out to everyone

5643
06:10:15,590 --> 06:10:20,213
in the No Agenda family during this sad time. Jason

5644
06:10:20,814 --> 06:10:29,059
Michalowski, Duluth, Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota. I remember these things from

5645
06:10:29,099 --> 06:10:32,962
grade school. Sure you do. I never worked as a

5646
06:10:33,002 --> 06:10:36,945
postal worker. I thought this was a sad puppy's ploy.

5647
06:10:36,985 --> 06:10:39,847
Didn't believe it. Now I can't believe it. You're my

5648
06:10:39,967 --> 06:10:42,408
go-to listen at the gym. Other meatheads are lifting to

5649
06:10:42,468 --> 06:10:45,070
death metal or gangster rap. I'm giggling like half a

5650
06:10:45,130 --> 06:10:50,294
retard to the greatest podcast in the universe. You're that

5651
06:10:50,374 --> 06:10:57,599
guy on the Stairmaster. Kristen Hanlon. Listening for a little

5652
06:10:57,639 --> 06:10:59,460
less than a year, this Gen Xer has grown so

5653
06:10:59,600 --> 06:11:02,282
fond of the No-Genda, I struggle to imagine how this

5654
06:11:02,302 --> 06:11:08,086
will move forward Dvorak. Listening to episode 1888 as I

5655
06:11:08,186 --> 06:11:12,129
write, sending sincerest condolences to all. Rest in peace. Anonymous.

5656
06:11:13,209 --> 06:11:19,254
You know that? Uh, uh, uh, uh, Australia. The ACT.

5657
06:11:19,874 --> 06:11:24,337
Anonymous. Sarah in South London. Hearing John chuckle in the

5658
06:11:24,337 --> 06:11:26,579
show always made me chuckle, even if I didn't get

5659
06:11:26,598 --> 06:11:29,881
the joke. I will really miss John. Prayers and blessings

5660
06:11:29,881 --> 06:11:32,703
to his family and Adam from Sarah in South London.

5661
06:11:32,763 --> 06:11:40,308
Thank you, Sarah. Joel Cox in Indianola. Pennsylvania. Thank you.

5662
06:11:42,129 --> 06:11:46,332
Uh, I... I started watching John on Silicon Spin, then

5663
06:11:46,532 --> 06:11:49,414
followed him to Cranky Geeks and Twit. When No Agenda

5664
06:11:49,474 --> 06:11:51,596
began, I was there for episode one. I was laid

5665
06:11:51,696 --> 06:11:53,577
off in June 2014 and fell away from the show

5666
06:11:53,657 --> 06:11:56,419
for a while, but I returned in November 2015. Since

5667
06:11:56,459 --> 06:11:58,360
then, No Agenda has been my North Star for sanity.

5668
06:11:58,820 --> 06:12:00,402
For years, I tried to hit people in the mouth.

5669
06:12:00,602 --> 06:12:03,103
Sadly, I was only successful once, but they fell overboard.

5670
06:12:04,044 --> 06:12:06,606
The combined wisdom and experience of John and Adam never

5671
06:12:06,646 --> 06:12:08,767
ceased to amaze me. I always wished John would write

5672
06:12:08,787 --> 06:12:11,489
a book filled with all his stories. They were incredible,

5673
06:12:11,609 --> 06:12:13,550
and John was always so insightful. I'll miss him forever.

5674
06:12:13,550 --> 06:12:17,433
Thank you. Throughout episode 1888, I found myself close to

5675
06:12:17,473 --> 06:12:19,655
tears several times. I lost my dad on March 5th

5676
06:12:19,655 --> 06:12:21,776
of this year while driving to dinner that night. I

5677
06:12:21,836 --> 06:12:23,858
started listening to No Agenda and immediately noticed that the

5678
06:12:23,898 --> 06:12:25,939
introduction was different. Then I heard the news that John

5679
06:12:25,999 --> 06:12:27,740
was in the hospital. I was so relieved that he

5680
06:12:27,760 --> 06:12:30,842
recovered. On Wednesday afternoon, I received a newsletter. I initially

5681
06:12:30,882 --> 06:12:33,324
thought this subject line had to be clickbait. I could

5682
06:12:33,344 --> 06:12:35,846
not believe it was real. The world will never be

5683
06:12:35,906 --> 06:12:38,027
the same without John. For the past year, I had

5684
06:12:38,047 --> 06:12:40,169
been listening to the show live and then listening to

5685
06:12:40,229 --> 06:12:43,551
it all over again afterward. John's voice, stories, wisdom, and

5686
06:12:43,591 --> 06:12:45,532
humor became part of the rhythm of my life. I'll

5687
06:12:45,572 --> 06:12:48,775
forever miss John. P.S. I know the city says Indianola

5688
06:12:48,915 --> 06:12:52,637
on PayPal, but I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Okay. Good

5689
06:12:52,697 --> 06:12:57,961
to know. Joel Cox. I don't remember any of the

5690
06:12:58,081 --> 06:13:03,865
military code words. Kilo Charlie 3 Lima Victor Golf. There

5691
06:13:03,885 --> 06:13:08,228
we go. Long time listener, 73. Jeffrey McAdoo! No, no.

5692
06:13:10,109 --> 06:13:13,391
Mark LeClair. I started listening after Adam was on the

5693
06:13:13,391 --> 06:13:16,674
Glenn Beck show the first Christmas after COVID. Working the

5694
06:13:16,694 --> 06:13:18,815
holidays at UPS. The show got me through the 10,

5695
06:13:18,915 --> 06:13:22,718
12-hour workdays. I loved hearing John's anecdote about the tech

5696
06:13:22,758 --> 06:13:28,081
industry, wine, publishing, etc. Heart. Daniel Pritchett. I'm sad that

5697
06:13:28,161 --> 06:13:30,723
our favorite Puzzkill has left us behind. I'm confident that

5698
06:13:30,743 --> 06:13:32,845
the Podfather and the wonderful No Agenda producers will keep

5699
06:13:32,865 --> 06:13:35,506
the show going strong. I'll be blasting classical music to

5700
06:13:35,526 --> 06:13:42,311
keep the varmints away in John's honor. Myers. It's tough

5701
06:13:42,371 --> 06:13:44,052
to think of a favorite memory of JCD among the

5702
06:13:44,092 --> 06:13:46,734
600 plus episodes I've heard. So I'll just stick to

5703
06:13:46,734 --> 06:13:48,835
something from my favorite person. When John had his heart

5704
06:13:48,855 --> 06:13:50,677
attack, I told my wife and showed her the picture

5705
06:13:50,717 --> 06:13:53,379
in the newsletter. She instantly replied, aw, he's so cute.

5706
06:13:53,939 --> 06:13:56,861
I'm sure he'd love that. Love, thoughts, and prayers from

5707
06:13:56,881 --> 06:14:01,084
the Myers family. Alex. Ivan, Jacqueline, and Kennedy to all.

5708
06:14:02,165 --> 06:14:03,686
Sent from a phone that would be better off in

5709
06:14:03,726 --> 06:14:08,069
a drawer. Sir Waldo, in the morning, in memory of

5710
06:14:08,089 --> 06:14:11,091
JCD, who I read in PCMag in the 80s, watched

5711
06:14:11,131 --> 06:14:14,193
on CDTV in the 90s, and listened on my first

5712
06:14:14,233 --> 06:14:17,235
MP3 player in the 05s on Twit, then No Agenda.

5713
06:14:17,335 --> 06:14:19,396
Thanks for the memories. Sir Waldo of the Lake, Lower

5714
06:14:19,496 --> 06:14:25,400
Alabama, exec producer, episode 1500. Spencer Christian. John was one

5715
06:14:25,420 --> 06:14:27,702
of those rare voices who could hear the hidden manipulation

5716
06:14:27,742 --> 06:14:32,205
inside the M5M linguistic mastery. He had an extraordinary ability

5717
06:14:32,245 --> 06:14:34,567
to stop a clip, pull apart the framing, buzzwords, and

5718
06:14:34,607 --> 06:14:36,548
manufacture narratives and reveal the spell they were trying to

5719
06:14:36,568 --> 06:14:39,550
cast. I always found his sharpness fascinating, not simply because

5720
06:14:39,590 --> 06:14:41,932
he was skeptical, but because his skepticism was informed by

5721
06:14:42,052 --> 06:14:44,714
deep knowledge, long experience, and willingness to say what others

5722
06:14:44,714 --> 06:14:49,717
might overlook. He understood. Technology, media, and the business forces

5723
06:14:50,377 --> 06:14:53,520
behind both. He was never intimidated by consensus. He will

5724
06:14:53,560 --> 06:14:57,923
be dearly missed. Aloha, Spencer. Ashley Williams, no note. David

5725
06:14:58,003 --> 06:15:00,764
Kelly, Dublin. I will miss John, especially his sense of

5726
06:15:00,825 --> 06:15:03,767
humor. I can still clearly remember laughing my ass off

5727
06:15:03,807 --> 06:15:06,128
when he started announcing the girls like Raven and No

5728
06:15:06,168 --> 06:15:09,651
Agenda Club 33. Thinking of Mimi, the Dvorak family, and

5729
06:15:09,731 --> 06:15:13,653
Adam. Rest in peace. JCD. Paul Tittle. John C. Dvorak,

5730
06:15:13,713 --> 06:15:14,954
in my opinion, will go down as one of the

5731
06:15:14,954 --> 06:15:17,656
best broadcasters of all time. Listening to him and Adam

5732
06:15:17,696 --> 06:15:19,657
on air was a distinct privilege of our time, and

5733
06:15:19,717 --> 06:15:21,419
I tried my best not to take it for granted,

5734
06:15:21,499 --> 06:15:25,561
because even the best things aren't forever. Three. Bethany Elliott.

5735
06:15:26,102 --> 06:15:28,503
Adam, I'm deeply saddened to hear of John's passing. My

5736
06:15:28,563 --> 06:15:30,425
heart goes out to the Dvorak family. Losing the family

5737
06:15:30,485 --> 06:15:32,846
patriarch is incredibly painful. However, it can also bring the

5738
06:15:32,886 --> 06:15:34,908
family together in a different dynamic. This includes the No

5739
06:15:34,948 --> 06:15:38,290
Agenda family. Although I don't think John would have liked

5740
06:15:38,350 --> 06:15:40,652
me personally, I liked him. And I always look forward

5741
06:15:40,672 --> 06:15:43,654
to listening, listening, and laughing. He didn't like anybody. Come

5742
06:15:44,114 --> 06:15:46,776
on. No, really. He would have liked the briefness of

5743
06:15:46,816 --> 06:15:50,598
your note. Yes. Thank you for your courage. Yours truly,

5744
06:15:50,658 --> 06:15:54,261
Beth. Isaac Boyney. Thank you for your courage, JCD. No

5745
06:15:54,321 --> 06:15:57,143
agenda has been the voice of sanity for me. Filling

5746
06:15:57,183 --> 06:15:59,745
the void that was left with Rush's passing. John's loss

5747
06:15:59,785 --> 06:16:01,786
feels very similar. I pray that you find the strength

5748
06:16:01,826 --> 06:16:05,429
to continue because the world needs you, Adam. ITM. Alex

5749
06:16:05,549 --> 06:16:07,890
Bell. May his courage be eternal and his thank yous

5750
06:16:07,910 --> 06:16:14,655
never cease. Frank? Chia Petta. Chia Petta in Carpentersville, Illinois.

5751
06:16:15,355 --> 06:16:17,217
I'm going to miss John's humor, his laugh, the vast

5752
06:16:17,277 --> 06:16:19,698
knowledge he brought from the wide range of experiences accumulated

5753
06:16:19,698 --> 06:16:22,380
throughout the awesome life he lived. Prayers to his family

5754
06:16:22,420 --> 06:16:28,244
and Adam. Our peace. RIP, JCD. Dave Clark. Dear Adam,

5755
06:16:28,384 --> 06:16:31,486
Keeper, Mimi, and the family. Like so many others, this

5756
06:16:31,526 --> 06:16:33,628
week has not only left me gutted at John's passing,

5757
06:16:33,788 --> 06:16:36,290
but curious as to how someone I haven't personally met

5758
06:16:36,390 --> 06:16:38,411
could have meant so much and left such a void.

5759
06:16:39,152 --> 06:16:42,033
I'll leave this short out of respect for John's liking

5760
06:16:42,074 --> 06:16:43,835
of short notes, but please see the attached clip of

5761
06:16:43,895 --> 06:16:46,517
John's shout-out to me during a donation segment, as it's

5762
06:16:46,557 --> 06:16:48,838
one of my most happy moments of my life. Prayers

5763
06:16:48,898 --> 06:16:52,280
for you all. Dave Clark, a.k.a. The Unknown Knight, also

5764
06:16:52,300 --> 06:16:55,463
the broke air traffic controller. Yes. We have a lot

5765
06:16:55,503 --> 06:16:57,684
of air traffic controllers who listen to this show, and

5766
06:16:57,764 --> 06:17:06,530
it's appreciated. Sir Fatigued Coder of Knoxville, Tennessee. IT morning.

5767
06:17:08,151 --> 06:17:10,633
Punctuality has never been my strong suit. As a teen,

5768
06:17:10,913 --> 06:17:13,415
when I arrived at my grandfather's house well after I

5769
06:17:13,455 --> 06:17:16,497
was supposed to, he said, well, if it isn't the

5770
06:17:16,537 --> 06:17:19,339
late Daniel Summers. My two and a half decades in

5771
06:17:19,399 --> 06:17:21,540
the Air Force made that a bit better, but I

5772
06:17:21,640 --> 06:17:24,082
still struggle. Thank you for your second chance for a

5773
06:17:24,142 --> 06:17:28,705
tribute. Well, before that teenage incident, I had magazines with

5774
06:17:28,765 --> 06:17:32,128
John's writing. Throughout his career, he brought a unique perspective.

5775
06:17:32,148 --> 06:17:35,250
His skepticism was rooted in his ability to see through

5776
06:17:35,270 --> 06:17:40,193
a marketing bull crap and his ever-expanding knowledge. It's a

5777
06:17:40,213 --> 06:17:42,895
skill I've tried to learn and emulate throughout my career.

5778
06:17:43,776 --> 06:17:46,878
My prayers have been twofold. Gratitude for all I learned

5779
06:17:46,898 --> 06:17:49,760
from John and the laughs he provided, and peace for

5780
06:17:49,800 --> 06:17:53,102
Mimi and his family, Adam and Tina, and no agendination.

5781
06:17:53,382 --> 06:18:00,187
RIP, JCD, Sir Fatigued Coder. Easy Landscapes. Greetings from North

5782
06:18:00,327 --> 06:18:04,930
Stonington, Connecticut. I was never planning to email or contact

5783
06:18:05,170 --> 06:18:07,872
your show as I believe the value for your value

5784
06:18:07,952 --> 06:18:11,655
system. My business, Easy Landscapes, has been doing the $50

5785
06:18:12,175 --> 06:18:17,439
monthly donation thing since 2021. I stumbled upon you during

5786
06:18:17,499 --> 06:18:20,501
COVID and my business partner and I love listening and

5787
06:18:20,561 --> 06:18:23,903
talking about the show. I started my Friday as usual

5788
06:18:24,023 --> 06:18:27,505
downloading your podcast and heading out to mow lawns. I

5789
06:18:27,545 --> 06:18:30,307
had no knowledge that GCD had passed, so by 9

5790
06:18:30,447 --> 06:18:33,690
a.m., I was blubbering like a baby after Adam's intro.

5791
06:18:33,750 --> 06:18:36,992
Of course, hearing Mimi warmed my heart and listening to

5792
06:18:37,032 --> 06:18:40,454
the Value for Value producers emailing their thoughts and prayers.

5793
06:18:41,035 --> 06:18:43,737
As I'm writing this, I'm tearing up because everyone hit

5794
06:18:44,237 --> 06:18:47,799
every feeling I went through all day. Adam, your words

5795
06:18:47,859 --> 06:18:51,582
were beautiful. Mimi, thank you for sharing that he passed

5796
06:18:51,722 --> 06:18:55,585
quickly and without pain. It's amazing the impact an individual

5797
06:18:55,705 --> 06:18:58,687
whom you've never met has made upon you for the

5798
06:18:59,007 --> 06:19:03,490
No Agenda show has done just that. made me part

5799
06:19:03,650 --> 06:19:06,772
of a larger family. May God bless you, and my

5800
06:19:06,832 --> 06:19:10,235
thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. Disabled

5801
06:19:10,255 --> 06:19:14,738

5802
06:19:14,798 --> 06:19:23,564
gratitude, Eric. Charles George, no note. Sir Lefant. Um, I'm

5803
06:19:23,644 --> 06:19:27,526
so sad and sorry for everyone. lose, but I am

5804
06:19:27,686 --> 06:19:30,548
also equally as grateful that I got hit in the

5805
06:19:30,568 --> 06:19:33,330
mouth and I got to enjoy John's voice in my

5806
06:19:33,490 --> 06:19:36,072
ear for six hours a week for years. You're going

5807
06:19:36,132 --> 06:19:39,795
to be truly missed, my friend, truly missed. Thank you

5808
06:19:39,975 --> 06:19:43,937
for being such a good human. R.I.P. Buzzkill. Black Knight.

5809

C'est la France. Gary Marquardt. Marquardt? Yeah, you name it.

5810
06:19:50,182 --> 06:19:58,147
Marquardt. Yeah. No, no. Nicole Iovan, 8888 for all the

5811
06:19:58,187 --> 06:19:59,828
JCD value and for the reminder.

5812
06:20:00,120 --> 06:20:04,162
recent weeks that the most simple explanation is probably the

5813
06:20:04,182 --> 06:20:11,687
most likely. Carrie Meeks, no note. Jeanette Boer. Dear John,

5814
06:20:12,168 --> 06:20:18,172
because of you and Adam, I have stopped following the

5815
06:20:18,192 --> 06:20:21,234
news 15 years ago. It brings me so much peace,

5816
06:20:21,654 --> 06:20:23,556
and I owe you both so much. Thank you for

5817
06:20:23,596 --> 06:20:27,418
all the insights you never see or hear on MSM.

5818
06:20:28,319 --> 06:20:30,921
So many beautiful words are already spoken, so I keep

5819
06:20:30,981 --> 06:20:33,702
it short the way John liked. My heart goes out

5820
06:20:33,722 --> 06:20:36,564
to Mimi, the children, and grandchildren, friends, and of course

5821
06:20:36,584 --> 06:20:39,927
you, Adam. Rest in peace, John. Love from the Netherlands.

5822
06:20:40,247 --> 06:20:48,453
Je ne t'pour. From Bentello Overijssel. Overijssel. Bentello Overijssel, yes.

5823
06:20:48,773 --> 06:20:53,076
Overijssel. How did you not know that, Brendan? Overijssel. It's

5824
06:20:53,096 --> 06:20:57,599
so easy. It's so obvious. Is J a Y sound

5825
06:20:58,519 --> 06:21:05,644
in Dutch? Adam, please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. Yes,

5826
06:21:05,744 --> 06:21:13,550
Brendan. The I-J is an I. Overijssel. Over the aysel.

5827
06:21:13,730 --> 06:21:16,392
Yes. Got it. Yeah, and it's like it's a double

5828
06:21:16,652 --> 06:21:19,874
S. Of course. Over the aysel. It's over the aysel.

5829
06:21:20,014 --> 06:21:23,596
I can't believe I speak that language, honestly. Yes. It's

5830
06:21:23,877 --> 06:21:27,119
kind of impressive. Much less give a shit about it.

5831
06:21:28,760 --> 06:21:33,923
I care. Mark Malin, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. No note. Merek

5832
06:21:34,504 --> 06:21:39,627
Klaudik, every time I drive John and Adam sitting in

5833
06:21:39,647 --> 06:21:43,130
the car with me, I have this parasocial relationship with

5834
06:21:43,150 --> 06:21:47,093
the two father figures, listening, them talking, arguing, and then

5835
06:21:47,152 --> 06:21:49,894
we laugh together. Thank you for your decades of entertainment

5836
06:21:49,934 --> 06:21:57,299
and knowledge you shared. April Kyle from Carmel, Indiana. I

5837
06:21:57,319 --> 06:21:59,581
was hit in the mouth by Dame Cindy of the

5838
06:21:59,721 --> 06:22:02,503
Tito's about four years ago, and I have been listening

5839
06:22:02,563 --> 06:22:06,386
with On My Morning Walks day after show ever since.

5840
06:22:07,086 --> 06:22:10,929
I have learned so much from John and Adam. appreciate

5841
06:22:10,949 --> 06:22:13,611
their take on all things around the world. It has

5842
06:22:13,631 --> 06:22:16,833
truly kept me sane in this totally insane world. I

5843
06:22:16,913 --> 06:22:20,835
especially enjoyed their entertaining banter. JCD is the second person

5844
06:22:20,996 --> 06:22:23,077
in less than a year that I have cried for

5845
06:22:23,117 --> 06:22:28,741
that I have never met. I've started a $3.33 monthly

5846
06:22:28,781 --> 06:22:31,643
donation in his honor. Thank you for all of you.

5847
06:22:31,923 --> 06:22:36,286
Mimi, family, and Adam are in my thoughts. R.I.P. April

5848
06:22:36,386 --> 06:22:40,989
Kyle from Carmel. Sir Denonymous. I think that's what it

5849
06:22:41,029 --> 06:22:46,793
says. Denonymous, yes. Denonymous. Got it. John's stories made me

5850
06:22:46,893 --> 06:22:50,516
laugh out loud, which got me some strange looks while

5851
06:22:50,556 --> 06:22:54,398
listening on the train. From ants peeing on people to

5852
06:22:54,438 --> 06:22:58,641
the pranks. Not many people can say they had such

5853
06:22:58,701 --> 06:23:01,583
an impact on so many lives. Rest in peace, John.

5854
06:23:01,843 --> 06:23:05,466
Sir Denonymous. And Sir Denonymous, we thank him because he

5855
06:23:05,706 --> 06:23:09,629
was the brains and the muscle and the hardware and

5856
06:23:09,649 --> 06:23:17,014
software behind BingIt.io. AHHHHHH Which has helped a lot. He's

5857
06:23:17,094 --> 06:23:20,456
allowed to make laugh on the train. Yes, of course.

5858
06:23:21,337 --> 06:23:26,060
Brian Yount. In 53 years, JCD is the second public

5859
06:23:26,140 --> 06:23:29,042
figure I've cried for. His voice was a regular part

5860
06:23:29,082 --> 06:23:31,884
of my life, and his wealth of stories and insights

5861
06:23:31,924 --> 06:23:34,906
amazed and amused me. I know he'd want the show

5862
06:23:34,966 --> 06:23:37,888
to soldier on, as we need community now more than

5863
06:23:38,008 --> 06:23:43,992
ever. God bless. Andrew Lentfer Long live the memory of

5864
06:23:44,012 --> 06:23:46,854
John C. Dvorak, where the C stands for Crusader of

5865
06:23:46,894 --> 06:23:50,397
Truth and calling out the bull crap. I just want

5866
06:23:50,477 --> 06:23:53,879
John's family to know that he had an immeasurably positive

5867
06:23:53,959 --> 06:23:56,701
influence on my life, and they should be proud to

5868
06:23:56,721 --> 06:24:01,584
call him kin. This week has been dark, but the

5869
06:24:01,644 --> 06:24:05,227
world is brighter from John's shining example. Love from the

5870
06:24:05,287 --> 06:24:10,890
high desert. James and Deborah from Trimble, Missouri. The only

5871
06:24:10,931 --> 06:24:14,813
note is... John will be missed by my husband and

5872
06:24:15,093 --> 06:24:18,456
I. He and Adam have been part of our lives

5873
06:24:18,496 --> 06:24:22,378
for about 15 years. found DH Unplugged a couple years

5874
06:24:22,478 --> 06:24:25,600
ago. John's humor was one of a kind. We are

5875
06:24:25,681 --> 06:24:27,842
sorry for your loss and we're keeping your family in

5876
06:24:27,922 --> 06:24:31,785
our prayers. James and Debra. Tyler of the Wailing City.

5877
06:24:31,805 --> 06:24:35,307
I finally realized the value I received from this show

5878
06:24:35,487 --> 06:24:39,690
when I shed some tears hearing of JCD's passing. My

5879
06:24:39,770 --> 06:24:42,712
condolences to the Dvorak family and to you, Adam, during

5880
06:24:42,772 --> 06:24:47,836
this time. Hopefully eternity allows you to still grouse, JCD.

5881
06:24:48,616 --> 06:24:52,619
I'm sure of it. Tyler of the Wailing City. Jason

5882
06:24:52,679 --> 06:24:58,803
Carver. Rest in peace, JCD. We'll be greatly missed. John

5883
06:24:58,803 --> 06:25:02,726
would have approved of that short note. David Overbeck, Brooksfield,

5884
06:25:02,806 --> 06:25:06,929
Wisconsin. Watch John on tech TV. Watch Twit with John.

5885
06:25:07,369 --> 06:25:11,552
Watch Cranky Geeks. Watch the Tech Brouch. Enjoyed No Agenda

5886
06:25:11,612 --> 06:25:16,395
since 2009. Listen through all of the milestones of life,

5887
06:25:16,695 --> 06:25:19,878
going to Ms. John's honesty and perspective. Rest in peace,

5888
06:25:19,938 --> 06:25:25,882
JCD. You are a real one. Christian Berrigan. Name is

5889
06:25:25,962 --> 06:25:29,124
pronounced like the Christian religion. I think I got that

5890
06:25:29,144 --> 06:25:32,626
right. Burigin. Burigin. You got close. Oh, bear shit. Oh.

5891
06:25:34,027 --> 06:25:38,390
Christian Berrigan. Okay. This is my first large donation amount,

5892
06:25:38,470 --> 06:25:46,676
so please de-douche. You've been de-douched. Russ Allen hit me

5893
06:25:46,756 --> 06:25:49,698
in the mouth during the COVID shutdowns. Adam, you and

5894
06:25:49,738 --> 06:25:52,760
John kept me sane. That insanity and for that I'm

5895
06:25:52,820 --> 06:25:56,723
forever grateful. Thanks to John. Now and then, I keep

5896
06:25:56,783 --> 06:26:00,445
my phone in a drawer and turned off. I also

5897
06:26:00,525 --> 06:26:02,627
hit my husband in the mouth pretty hard, and he

5898
06:26:02,727 --> 06:26:05,749
started from episode one last year. But the punch to

5899
06:26:05,749 --> 06:26:08,871
the gut was knowing that John passed on... On my

5900
06:26:09,051 --> 06:26:13,294
birthday? Oh. It's a blessing in disguise and away now.

5901
06:26:13,354 --> 06:26:16,336
We're forever thankful we gave our time to John and

5902
06:26:16,376 --> 06:26:19,198
your wisdom and we'll continue to do so through the

5903
06:26:19,258 --> 06:26:22,100
archive. I'd also like to share that I'm doing a

5904
06:26:22,200 --> 06:26:26,943
novena prayer for John. Adam and Mimi and family, we

5905
06:26:27,063 --> 06:26:30,346
love you and you're in our prayers too. God bless

5906
06:26:30,386 --> 06:26:35,729
you. Randy O'Rourke. I was deeply saddened to hear the

5907
06:26:35,829 --> 06:26:38,851
news of John's passing this morning. Although I never had

5908
06:26:38,871 --> 06:26:41,373
the pleasure of meeting him in person, I felt as

5909
06:26:41,433 --> 06:26:43,795
though I knew him through listening to his stories and

5910
06:26:43,915 --> 06:26:46,837
insights over the last 16 years. He will be greatly

5911
06:26:46,897 --> 06:26:49,379
missed. Please know that I am praying for Mimi and

5912
06:26:49,399 --> 06:26:51,680
the rest of the family, as well as for you

5913
06:26:51,800 --> 06:26:55,423
and Tina during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Randy

5914
06:26:55,523 --> 06:27:03,248
O'Rourke. Stephanie Lucek? Lucek. Lucek. We are so sad. We

5915
06:27:03,288 --> 06:27:09,993
will miss hearing John's voice. Dave? Shawana Beck. What the

5916
06:27:10,153 --> 06:27:15,797
ultimate buzzkill. First in peace, Sean. Thank you for the

5917
06:27:15,857 --> 06:27:19,419
words of wisdom, insightful tips, great humor, and honest opinions.

5918
06:27:19,859 --> 06:27:25,203
You'll be missed by many. Sir Pent, Sharon, Massachusetts. The

5919
06:27:25,243 --> 06:27:27,765
world is a little colder now. I first saw John

5920
06:27:27,845 --> 06:27:31,387
when I was eight years old on tech TV and

5921
06:27:31,507 --> 06:27:33,829
had his voice in my ear for hours every week

5922
06:27:33,989 --> 06:27:38,712
since 2021. Words cannot express how much we will miss

5923
06:27:38,772 --> 06:27:40,613
him. I pray for him and for all the No

5924
06:27:40,673 --> 06:27:51,781
Agenda family. Serpent88888888 Jason Larson, ITM. Listen to episode 1887

5925
06:27:51,861 --> 06:27:56,244
a second time. JCD actually had the best exit strategy

5926
06:27:56,384 --> 06:28:00,447
ever. Great last episode as always, Tech Grouch. We all

5927
06:28:00,527 --> 06:28:03,969
hope to go doing what we loved. P.S. I need

5928
06:28:04,009 --> 06:28:13,376
a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Black Mountain, North Carolina. Dear

5929
06:28:13,496 --> 06:28:17,739
Adam and Mimi. Attached is a phone recording of the

5930
06:28:17,759 --> 06:28:23,283
Mount Mitchell. 6600 Weekly Amateur Radio Net. Time of recording,

5931
06:28:23,743 --> 06:28:31,128
Saturday, July 25th, 2026. I don't have the recording, so

5932
06:28:31,188 --> 06:28:34,810
that's fine. Since this call signed... I don't know how

5933
06:28:34,850 --> 06:28:39,113
to do call signs, Adam. Kilo Juliet 6 Lima November

5934
06:28:39,173 --> 06:28:44,117
Gulf. He would say liquid natural gas. Or C. Wood.

5935
06:28:45,097 --> 06:28:48,280
Renewed in November 2022. I felt it appropriate to give

5936
06:28:48,320 --> 06:28:52,042
him a last call. Okay, I can't read this one

5937
06:28:52,042 --> 06:28:56,005
anymore. JC or Adam. It's a tradition for amateurs who

5938
06:28:56,105 --> 06:29:11,105
pass away and are now silent. SK, silent key. Yeah.

5939
06:29:31,209 --> 06:29:34,811
so kind, Adam, as to de-douche me. My family continues

5940
06:29:34,891 --> 06:29:38,334
to pray for John's family and friends. ITM and 73s.

5941
06:29:40,155 --> 06:29:42,336
So first de-douche him and then Adam has to read

5942
06:29:42,456 --> 06:29:46,479
this stupid kilo. It's kilo mic for... You got it.

5943
06:29:46,739 --> 06:29:50,022
Keep going. Keep going. You can do it. You got

5944
06:29:50,122 --> 06:29:56,246
it. You got it. Flamingo. Foxtrot. Foxtrot. Lima. Golf. Golf.

5945
06:29:56,386 --> 06:29:59,928
Yeah. Yay. Actually, let me just deduce.

5946
06:30:01,801 --> 06:30:07,024
You've been de-douched. I have the call, the final call.

5947
06:30:07,044 --> 06:30:17,912
Kilo Juliet 6, Lima, November Golf. This is KM4FLG. Kilo

5948
06:30:18,032 --> 06:30:22,575
Juliet 6, Lima, November Gulf. This is KM4FLG. This is

5949
06:30:22,615 --> 06:30:28,399
how we do it in Hamland. This is good. Last

5950
06:30:28,459 --> 06:30:34,143
call. Kilo Juliet 6. Lima, November Gulf. This is KM4FLG.

5951
06:30:41,528 --> 06:30:48,633
Nothing heard. John, Godspeed, brother. 73's in the morning. Thank

5952
06:30:48,673 --> 06:30:54,096
you for your service. KM4FLG, back to net control. There

5953
06:30:54,136 --> 06:30:58,900
you go. That's how we do it in Hamlet. That

5954
06:30:58,920 --> 06:31:04,463
one hit me hard. And it's Christian Future Night. It's

5955
06:31:04,523 --> 06:31:08,826
for Christian Future Night of the Shwanoa Valley and Black

5956
06:31:08,946 --> 06:31:13,069
Mountains. Okay, I have to blow my nose. Excuse me.

5957
06:31:13,089 --> 06:31:16,432
Well, I can jump in with some... Go ahead, JC.

5958
06:31:16,512 --> 06:31:20,454
No, just go ahead. What row are we on? 375.

5959
06:31:20,454 --> 06:31:24,817
375. I also wanted to point out something kind of

5960
06:31:24,897 --> 06:31:32,462
wacky. 1887 was when the Dvoraks first arrived in the

5961
06:31:32,543 --> 06:31:40,588
U.S. When they moved to Minneapolis, Jacob Dvorak was a

5962
06:31:40,688 --> 06:31:44,431
sewer worker. Well, that makes lots of sense. Okay, JC,

5963
06:31:44,511 --> 06:31:47,273
go ahead. All right, all right. That's why you attracted

5964
06:31:47,353 --> 06:31:55,558
so many ants. Yes. All right. Sir Paul from Twinkenham,

5965
06:31:56,659 --> 06:31:59,081
Great Britain. For 15 years, no agenda has brought me

5966
06:31:59,101 --> 06:32:02,023
laughter, insight, and a sense of community. The news of

5967
06:32:02,063 --> 06:32:04,384
John's passing made me sad beyond belief, and I will

5968
06:32:04,504 --> 06:32:07,827
greatly miss his humor, grouchy comments, and soothing voice. Love,

5969
06:32:07,947 --> 06:32:12,790
prayer, Sir Paul from Twinkenham. Ray Jacobson. Best critical thinker

5970
06:32:12,970 --> 06:32:18,414
ever. Mr. Keck. Mickey Keck. Mickey Keck. Mickey Keck. Nothing.

5971
06:32:19,234 --> 06:32:23,477
No, no. Anna Reichard. When I first met my now

5972
06:32:23,577 --> 06:32:25,499
husband, I was a raging liberal minus the blue hair

5973
06:32:25,559 --> 06:32:27,820
and TikTok grants. As a test, he tasked me to

5974
06:32:27,860 --> 06:32:31,383
listen to No Agenda in 2022. Immediately, I was hooked

5975
06:32:31,403 --> 06:32:34,405
and began to shrink my amygdala. Simply put, this podcast

5976
06:32:34,445 --> 06:32:36,066
changed my life. It made me laugh when the world

5977
06:32:36,126 --> 06:32:38,247
felt so hopeless. It made me question when the media

5978
06:32:38,307 --> 06:32:40,569
told me what to think. Thank you, John, for every

5979
06:32:40,629 --> 06:32:43,411
Thursday and Sunday for the last four years. I've never

5980
06:32:43,451 --> 06:32:46,493
been so grateful to someone I've never met. Another life

5981
06:32:46,633 --> 06:32:53,137
saved. Yes. Ness Works in Seattle. I lost my father

5982
06:32:53,157 --> 06:32:56,480
in 2017. Best to be hit in the mouth by

5983
06:32:56,560 --> 06:32:59,562
my close friend during the COVID era, I gravitate to

5984
06:32:59,622 --> 06:33:02,864
YouTube dudes every Thursday and Sunday. I threw my hat

5985
06:33:02,924 --> 06:33:04,785
into the ring of art submissions hoping to add value

5986
06:33:04,805 --> 06:33:06,807
for value. As an art contributor, I appreciate it and

5987
06:33:06,827 --> 06:33:09,989
respect it, and was inspired by John's analysis and critiques

5988
06:33:10,069 --> 06:33:13,011
of weekly art submissions. Adam, as you know, when I

5989
06:33:13,111 --> 06:33:15,333
sent y'all the funny video of your amazing hair that

5990
06:33:15,413 --> 06:33:17,394
I captured off of an old VHS tape from the

5991
06:33:17,414 --> 06:33:21,937
89 MTV Awards, John's reply back was, check the calendar.

5992
06:33:25,079 --> 06:33:27,021
I had tears of laughter. Now I have tears of

5993
06:33:27,081 --> 06:33:28,842
sorrow knowing how much we're all going to miss him.

5994
06:33:29,002 --> 06:33:31,684
Prayer and loves, Nessworks. Yeah, Nessworks has done a lot

5995
06:33:31,744 --> 06:33:36,827
of art for us. Dr. Junonymous. My buzz has been

5996
06:33:36,867 --> 06:33:42,311
killed with love, Dr. Junonymous. Sean Murray, thank you for

5997
06:33:42,351 --> 06:33:47,154
everything, my friend. I miss you already. George Rosansky. Bless

5998
06:33:47,234 --> 06:33:49,656
me, Podfather, for I have sinned. This is unfortunately my

5999
06:33:49,756 --> 06:33:54,199
long overdue first donation. For JCD, thank you for the

6000
06:33:54,199 --> 06:33:56,621
memories. Blessings to all the family and friends and trolls.

6001
06:33:56,721 --> 06:34:05,627
Keep on keeping on. You've been de-douched. Lacey Classic Decor.

6002
06:34:06,748 --> 06:34:10,090
I am heartbroken. You'll be missed. My God, wrap his

6003
06:34:10,130 --> 06:34:14,653
healing hands around your family and friends. Mark Hall. Oh,

6004
06:34:14,773 --> 06:34:21,238
Mark, our official documentarian. Deeply saddened when I heard of

6005
06:34:21,318 --> 06:34:24,400
JCD's death a few days ago. Learned a lot from

6006
06:34:24,440 --> 06:34:27,702
him. Greatly valued. Release the vinegar book. The Republic needs

6007
06:34:27,722 --> 06:34:34,587
it. It does. John, you will be remembered. Lydia Terry.

6008
06:34:35,367 --> 06:34:38,429
Cadelises and prayers to the Dvorak family. Suit and tie

6009
06:34:38,449 --> 06:34:41,451
guy. Chillicothe. I want to note that we've moved out

6010
06:34:41,691 --> 06:34:45,074
of the... Oh, yeah. We're $90 now. Thank you. Yeah,

6011
06:34:45,094 --> 06:34:47,716
we're now at $90. $90. Suit and tie guy in

6012
06:34:47,776 --> 06:34:54,320
Chillicothe, Illinois. I'll keep this short because I posted a

6013
06:34:54,360 --> 06:34:56,642
long thing and great photos from the February Oakland meetup

6014
06:34:56,702 --> 06:34:58,263
on Twitter and Instagram and you are going to be

6015
06:34:58,383 --> 06:35:01,465
swamped. When I met John this year, I was too

6016
06:35:01,505 --> 06:35:03,326
stressed to ask him what it was like to work

6017
06:35:03,386 --> 06:35:05,688
with Jared Taylor back in the 80s. That lore is

6018
06:35:05,708 --> 06:35:08,790
lost to the cosmos. People, you need to remember you

6019
06:35:08,850 --> 06:35:10,851
might not ever get a second chance. They are here

6020
06:35:10,951 --> 06:35:13,313
and then they are not. Always remember the last time

6021
06:35:13,313 --> 06:35:14,934
you see someone might be the last and treat them

6022
06:35:14,974 --> 06:35:18,096
with that respect. My sincerest condolences to the Dvorak and

6023
06:35:18,116 --> 06:35:20,818
Curry families and whoever actually knew them. Thank you for

6024
06:35:20,858 --> 06:35:29,564
everything. Randy Lambert, Lafayette, Louisiana. 89-19, or 89-12, rather. Oh,

6025
06:35:29,684 --> 06:35:31,786
first let me express my sympathy and sorrow for all

6026
06:35:31,866 --> 06:35:34,347
y'all's loss. I have been an avid listener for four

6027
06:35:34,387 --> 06:35:38,050
years. Joe Rogan sent me. Ha ha. First time donating

6028
06:35:38,110 --> 06:35:39,811
to the show? Sucks it had to be under these

6029
06:35:39,851 --> 06:35:43,093
circumstances. Can't imagine how it is to lose someone so

6030
06:35:43,213 --> 06:35:45,775
special as he was that I have known for so

6031
06:35:45,855 --> 06:35:47,997
long. I'll keep you all on my thoughts and prayers.

6032
06:35:48,037 --> 06:35:49,918
No need to read this on air. Well, too late.

6033
06:35:50,699 --> 06:35:53,861
If you don't want. My own selfishness hopes the show

6034
06:35:53,941 --> 06:35:55,602
goes on as it's one of the few things I

6035
06:35:55,662 --> 06:35:57,743
have to look forward to. Whatever the good Lord has

6036
06:35:57,803 --> 06:36:07,770
planned, your brother in Christ, Randy. You've been de-douched. in

6037
06:36:07,850 --> 06:36:15,275
Roanoke, Virginia. Dear Adam and Mimi, we achieved our layaway

6038
06:36:15,415 --> 06:36:17,677
night in Dame Hood last February, right around the time

6039
06:36:17,717 --> 06:36:19,978
of John's surgery. Instead of claiming it right away, we

6040
06:36:20,039 --> 06:36:22,840
decided to reserve it to celebrate our 30th anniversary, also

6041
06:36:22,960 --> 06:36:25,622
on 8-8. It feels a little hollow now with John's

6042
06:36:25,642 --> 06:36:31,146
passing. Brian has been a loyal follower since 2010 after

6043
06:36:31,186 --> 06:36:34,488
hearing John promote the show on Twit. Becca came around

6044
06:36:34,508 --> 06:36:37,430
a bit later, around 2012. You've been in constant twice-a-week

6045
06:36:37,530 --> 06:36:39,872
listen, inspiring many of our nine kids to repeat the

6046
06:36:39,912 --> 06:36:44,215
jingles. Wow. Becca has often called John her spirit animal,

6047
06:36:44,595 --> 06:36:46,356
as they've lost track of the numerous times that she

6048
06:36:46,356 --> 06:36:48,838
directs some story only to have John repeat the exact

6049
06:36:48,878 --> 06:36:53,561
same comment moments later. Poor Brian. Since all of our

6050
06:36:53,601 --> 06:36:56,203
donations have been under the $50 threshold, we both need

6051
06:36:56,223 --> 06:36:59,085
a dedouching. Brian requests to be named Sir Brian, Knight

6052
06:36:59,125 --> 06:37:04,769
of Dross Del Nock. He'd like Kurgle's pickled bologna and

6053
06:37:04,889 --> 06:37:10,073
Renard's squeaky cheese at the round table. Becca requests to

6054
06:37:10,113 --> 06:37:12,454
be named Dame Contrarian, Seeker of Truth, and would like

6055
06:37:12,534 --> 06:37:15,196
Cattleman's Steak and Donuts for the roundtable. If jingles are

6056
06:37:15,236 --> 06:37:18,839
permitted, we'd like Drone Again and some R2-D2 Karma. It

6057
06:37:18,899 --> 06:37:21,721
feels like we've lost a dear family friend, Knoltses to

6058
06:37:21,781 --> 06:37:24,743
Dvoraks, Adams, and everyone that John's life touched. Prayers for

6059
06:37:24,803 --> 06:37:30,687
everyone. You've been de-douched. Hold on, we gotta do one

6060
06:37:30,747 --> 06:37:42,755
more. You've been de-douched. Starwood in the Heartland, $88.89. JCD

6061
06:37:42,935 --> 06:37:45,217
wouldn't want us to stand on ceremony. A great man

6062
06:37:45,377 --> 06:37:48,259
who helped many see through the bullshit veil presented to

6063
06:37:48,379 --> 06:37:53,983
us. You'll be missed, oh cranky geek. Surface tension. Sean

6064
06:37:54,043 --> 06:37:58,386
Stedman, a.k.a. Surface Tension, Vero Beach, Florida. Goodbye, Uncle John.

6065
06:37:58,906 --> 06:38:01,388
Thank you for putting the C's in connection as protection.

6066
06:38:03,389 --> 06:38:05,510
Love and light to everyone in the Gitmo Nation. Onward.

6067
06:38:06,611 --> 06:38:15,057
Emily Allman, 88, 89. Jay Do- Do-karty. Do-karty? Dockarty. Dockarty.

6068
06:38:15,137 --> 06:38:22,042
Dockarty. Dockarty. Dockarty. 88, 89. I started listening to No

6069
06:38:22,102 --> 06:38:24,243
Agenda in 2009. Prior to that, I was a big

6070
06:38:24,283 --> 06:38:26,024
fan of John's Cranky Geeks. And prior to that, I

6071
06:38:26,064 --> 06:38:29,187
always enjoyed his naysayers coverage of the various tech expos.

6072
06:38:29,627 --> 06:38:32,089
John was right. No one uses a mouse anymore. We

6073
06:38:32,169 --> 06:38:37,092
love you, John. Rest well. Justin Ardenaux, 8889, no note.

6074
06:38:37,092 --> 06:38:41,315
These are all 8889, I suspect. William Link, Dave from

6075
06:38:42,276 --> 06:38:46,278
Biera, some of the best pipes ever. thoroughly enjoyed him

6076
06:38:46,418 --> 06:38:49,600
casually changing the subject when he was uninterested in Adam's

6077
06:38:49,640 --> 06:38:54,384
content being presented. Yeah, I enjoyed that so much. Prank

6078
06:38:54,484 --> 06:38:57,266
for JCD's family and Adam during your time of loss.

6079
06:38:57,386 --> 06:39:01,709
Gone but never forgotten, JCD. Justin Kaler. I came for

6080
06:39:01,729 --> 06:39:04,291
Adam Curry, stayed for both. I had never heard of

6081
06:39:04,311 --> 06:39:07,032
JCD before No Agenda, but I am extremely grateful for

6082
06:39:07,092 --> 06:39:09,554
finding him through this podcast. COVID, wars, or whatever the

6083
06:39:09,574 --> 06:39:11,696
media spewed, JCD was there to buzzkill him. Rest in

6084
06:39:11,736 --> 06:39:16,339
peace, buzzkill. Sir Justin of the Parlor City. Sir Recalcitrant

6085
06:39:16,439 --> 06:39:20,642
Crazy Steve II and Dame Dream Girl Rose. Thank you

6086
06:39:20,682 --> 06:39:22,903
for letting me host JCD for our meetups every couple

6087
06:39:22,923 --> 06:39:26,706
of months since October 2023. I would have started there

6088
06:39:26,746 --> 06:39:28,247
sooner, but I initially believed I need to be a

6089
06:39:28,307 --> 06:39:31,069
knight to properly host. Boy, was I wrong. I probably

6090
06:39:31,069 --> 06:39:32,850
could have gotten away with being a douchebag and hosted

6091
06:39:32,930 --> 06:39:36,833
one. I listened to my first... Yes. Yeah, please. See,

6092
06:39:36,993 --> 06:39:42,156
everyone can host. Anyone. Yeah. I listened to my first

6093
06:39:42,256 --> 06:39:45,439
full episode of No Gender during the episode 1300 celebration

6094
06:39:45,459 --> 06:39:47,400
in the middle of COVID, and I was instantly converted

6095
06:39:47,460 --> 06:39:49,281
by all the common sense that was entering my ears.

6096
06:39:50,042 --> 06:39:52,443
I later met John at my first meetup I ever

6097
06:39:52,463 --> 06:39:54,645
attended in San Francisco at the New Belgium Brewery on

6098
06:39:54,725 --> 06:39:58,327
May 15th, 2021. After that, I attended meetups hosted by

6099
06:39:58,427 --> 06:39:59,968
Baron Captain Luke in Noe Valley.

6100
06:40:00,320 --> 06:40:02,701
hoping John would return, but he never did. I decided

6101
06:40:02,701 --> 06:40:04,382
to start meetups at the Mallard Club to get him

6102
06:40:04,402 --> 06:40:06,164
out of the house because I knew John lived somewhere

6103
06:40:06,184 --> 06:40:08,785
nearby, and the rest is history. I'm going to miss

6104
06:40:08,846 --> 06:40:11,047
waiting for JCD to arrive at these meetups and handing

6105
06:40:11,067 --> 06:40:13,128
him an envelope. However, I plan to keep these meetups

6106
06:40:13,148 --> 06:40:15,570
going in John's honor in Albany and Oakland. I'll be

6107
06:40:16,010 --> 06:40:18,492
always grateful for these gatherings and the friendship I've formed

6108
06:40:18,492 --> 06:40:20,353
through them. I wish John would have told me he

6109
06:40:20,353 --> 06:40:22,475
was born in Fresno. I'm pretty sure I told him

6110
06:40:22,495 --> 06:40:25,437
I went to Fresno State. That conversation can wait until

6111
06:40:25,437 --> 06:40:27,858
I see him again in heaven. Rest in peace. God

6112
06:40:27,899 --> 06:40:29,840
bless JCD, the Dvorak family, and the rest of the

6113
06:40:29,840 --> 06:40:33,102
Gitmo Nation. All our love, Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II

6114
06:40:33,162 --> 06:40:43,469
and Dame Dreamgirl Rose. Carl Otto Rosengivist. Rosenkvist? Rosenkvist. You

6115
06:40:43,549 --> 06:40:47,812
said it. Hi. It took some seconds to parse the

6116
06:40:47,812 --> 06:40:50,734
newsletter with the news about JCD's passing. As a quite

6117
06:40:50,814 --> 06:40:55,377
grumpy person myself, I always found John a fellow groupger.

6118
06:40:56,058 --> 06:40:58,359
He will be remembered not only for that, but for

6119
06:40:58,399 --> 06:41:00,901
what he was, a diamond with a thousand facets, every

6120
06:41:01,421 --> 06:41:04,183
one unique. No more feet in the air and subs

6121
06:41:04,223 --> 06:41:07,526
in the water in the future, but at least 1,888

6122
06:41:07,526 --> 06:41:10,788
episodes of wisdom. I started summer around episode 40 and

6123
06:41:10,848 --> 06:41:12,829
50, so Noah Jed has been a vital part of

6124
06:41:12,829 --> 06:41:16,832
my last 18 years. I've attached a reading of a

6125
06:41:16,872 --> 06:41:19,213
donation I made six years ago after they removed a

6126
06:41:19,234 --> 06:41:21,475
lump from my wife's stomach. I know what the fear

6127
06:41:21,515 --> 06:41:24,037
of losing the one who means the most, and I'm

6128
06:41:24,077 --> 06:41:26,338
happy that she's still around. Mimi, be strong. Let your

6129
06:41:26,358 --> 06:41:28,320
family give you the energy you need to keep smiling.

6130
06:41:28,420 --> 06:41:35,945
Kind regards, Carl Otto. Mike Riley. No, no. Circuity. Circuity

6131
06:41:36,545 --> 06:41:42,249
in Colleyville, Texas. This was not an approved exit strategy.

6132
06:41:42,469 --> 06:41:44,991
My deepest condolences to Mimi, the Dvorak family, and Adam.

6133
06:41:46,232 --> 06:41:48,073
I've been listening since 2008, and to have John and

6134
06:41:48,133 --> 06:41:50,095
Adam to listen to each week has gotten me through

6135
06:41:50,115 --> 06:41:52,096
the goods and bad times, the ups and downs in

6136
06:41:52,156 --> 06:41:54,117
my life, and when I just needed to hear the

6137
06:41:54,137 --> 06:41:57,740
deconstruction of the mainstream news, hearing John's perspective, stories, recipes,

6138
06:41:57,800 --> 06:41:59,361
and wine tips are always a highlight of the show

6139
06:41:59,421 --> 06:42:02,063
for me and will be truly missed. Hopefully, NA, no

6140
06:42:02,123 --> 06:42:04,264
gender, will continue in some form, dare I say, four

6141
06:42:04,304 --> 06:42:07,506
more years. Adam, we support you in whatever comes next.

6142
06:42:07,767 --> 06:42:12,370
Godspeed and rest in peace, JCD. Security, night of the

6143
06:42:12,390 --> 06:42:16,012
cybers. Jingle requests, spooky donate. And I just want to

6144
06:42:16,132 --> 06:42:20,035
thank Mike Riley, who came just before this. Mike Riley,

6145
06:42:20,415 --> 06:42:23,337
super famous cartoonist who has done a lot of art

6146
06:42:23,417 --> 06:42:25,979
for us. I think John even had some sent to

6147
06:42:26,039 --> 06:42:29,481
him. It might even be on the wall somewhere. It

6148
06:42:29,501 --> 06:42:33,084
might be. It might be. There's so many. So much

6149
06:42:33,104 --> 06:42:38,948
stuff on there. Um... Texas, oh wait, no, Edward Bala.

6150
06:42:39,708 --> 06:42:43,091
In Shulukork. Devastating news. Rest in peace, John, and thank

6151
06:42:43,131 --> 06:42:45,332
you for your courage. I'll do two more, and then

6152
06:42:45,392 --> 06:42:48,454
I'll hand it off. Yep. Texas Hot Glass LLC in

6153
06:42:48,534 --> 06:42:53,157
Smithville, Texas. Good old railroad town. Andrew Wolfe. Dan Black

6154
06:42:53,278 --> 06:42:57,681
Loca, Texas Hot Glass. Oh, it doesn't. I only see

6155
06:42:57,701 --> 06:43:01,523
a Texas. No, I know. We know our peeps. It's

6156
06:43:01,543 --> 06:43:06,447
good. Yeah, you do. You do. Andrew Wolfe, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

6157
06:43:08,228 --> 06:43:10,990
All right, I'll take it from here. Thank you. Yeah,

6158
06:43:11,110 --> 06:43:16,033
you can pronounce that one. Maybe. Marius Uf Nagel. These

6159
06:43:16,033 --> 06:43:19,335
are all 8888. So hope this RIP finds you well.

6160
06:43:19,395 --> 06:43:21,897
Condolences to all the family and friends of John. Some

6161
06:43:21,957 --> 06:43:26,240
karma for John's travels in the ether from Marius Uwe

6162
06:43:26,500 --> 06:43:33,905
Nagel. You've got karma. Thank you, Christine Kodega from Riverside,

6163
06:43:33,965 --> 06:43:41,550
Rhode Island. Anthony W. DiPrato, Jackson, Missouri. Mississippi, Missouri, Missouri.

6164
06:43:42,211 --> 06:43:46,174
Mississippi. Mississippi. Yeah, and the one before, I think it's

6165
06:43:46,214 --> 06:43:53,579
probably Codega. Oh, picky, picky. Well, just saying. John was

6166
06:43:53,679 --> 06:43:57,101
a voice of guidance, says Anthony. He likely never thought

6167
06:43:57,161 --> 06:44:01,604
about his impact. I emulate his skepticism and the no

6168
06:44:01,704 --> 06:44:06,207
agenda deconstruction information in my daily life. Michael Rankin, rest

6169
06:44:06,307 --> 06:44:08,669
in peace to Alenja. My Thursdays and Sundays will never

6170
06:44:08,749 --> 06:44:11,731
be the same. Condolences to the Dvorak clan. Nick Foster,

6171
06:44:12,311 --> 06:44:15,754
JCD has left a lasting impact on the world. Thomas

6172
06:44:15,854 --> 06:44:19,636
Caron from Egan, Minnesota. Dear Adam and Dvorak family, Sundays

6173
06:44:19,656 --> 06:44:21,578
and Thursdays will never be the same. My thoughts and

6174
06:44:21,618 --> 06:44:25,440
prayers are with you. JCD's voice on No Agenda was

6175
06:44:25,521 --> 06:44:29,723
constantly speaking from my car stereo for years. His sweetened

6176
06:44:29,803 --> 06:44:32,525
clips always brought me a chuckle. As he used to

6177
06:44:32,605 --> 06:44:38,189
say, onward! Molly Swift, Marshall, Missouri. Long live JCD. John

6178
06:44:38,309 --> 06:44:41,491
Frank, long-time listener, first-time caller. Thank you for all the

6179
06:44:41,511 --> 06:44:44,934
years of entertaining stories and great advice. Some family karma

6180
06:44:44,974 --> 06:44:46,975
at the end would be greatly appreciated if you have

6181
06:44:47,055 --> 06:44:51,218
time. John Frank, Apollo Beach, Florida. The drinking town with

6182
06:44:51,358 --> 06:44:59,123
a boating problem. Yes. You've got karma. Heather Johnson. And

6183
06:44:59,263 --> 06:45:03,266
I think a de-douching is the right word. You've been

6184
06:45:03,466 --> 06:45:08,950
de-douched. Heather Johnson, Lincoln, Nebraska. For John's passing, my husband

6185
06:45:09,010 --> 06:45:11,492
Eric listens to every show. Rest in peace, John. We

6186
06:45:11,532 --> 06:45:13,913
will keep his family and Adam in our prayers. Sir

6187
06:45:14,054 --> 06:45:17,256
European Stephen. Farewell, John. Thank you for your courage and

6188
06:45:17,276 --> 06:45:21,479
the memories. Kara Steele. ITM Adam. I was so devastated

6189
06:45:21,499 --> 06:45:24,040
to hear that John has found his exit strategy. Over

6190
06:45:24,120 --> 06:45:26,462
the years, you two have felt like family, and this

6191
06:45:26,562 --> 06:45:29,644
loss feels personal. You have both shaped my worldview, and

6192
06:45:29,664 --> 06:45:32,046
I am forever grateful to have found my community. Rest

6193
06:45:32,106 --> 06:45:38,070
in peace, JCD. Jonas Malpas from Ucrania. in Belgium. A

6194
06:45:38,130 --> 06:45:40,732

06:45:40,792 --> 06:45:43,133
around the world. My sympathies to Mimi, the children, and

6196
06:45:43,173 --> 06:45:46,636
to you, Adam. Dame Liberty Mom from Vista, California. JCD,

you, Adam, Tina, and Mimi, the Dvorak family, praying for

6199
06:45:53,941 --> 06:45:56,362
your comfort and peace. Thank you for your courage. Dame

06:45:59,805 --> 06:46:02,467
your donation. Scott Walker, thank you for everything, John. You

6202
06:46:02,507 --> 06:46:07,230
will be missed by many. Michael Lockyer from Wayne, Pennsylvania

6203
06:46:07,370 --> 06:46:11,973
says, Sir Ever of the what? Linwood, Michigan. Godspeed, John.

6204
06:46:12,073 --> 06:46:14,615
Sir Ever of the what? Baroness Carol Ann from Pueblo,

6205
06:46:14,775 --> 06:46:17,777
Colorado. Dear Adam and Mimi, I'm so sad for your

6206
06:46:17,837 --> 06:46:20,579
losing, John. Deep love to you all, and may you

6207
06:46:20,699 --> 06:46:23,561
feel and know the comfort of God through this season.

6208
06:46:23,721 --> 06:46:26,703
I'm forever grateful for all John gave to me and

6209
06:46:26,743 --> 06:46:29,185
all the producers through the years. Baroness Carol Ann of

6210
06:46:29,205 --> 06:46:33,408
the Southern Colorado. Sir Brian with an I. 88, 88.

6211
06:46:33,468 --> 06:46:35,529
Thank you, Sir Brian, with an I. What about Wen

6212
06:46:35,609 --> 06:46:38,891
Miller? Oh, I'm sorry, Wen Miller. You said that just

6213
06:46:38,971 --> 06:46:41,213
like John. That pissed me off so much. You're like,

6214
06:46:41,633 --> 06:46:44,916
what about Wen Miller? Well, I missed Wen Miller, okay?

6215
06:46:45,996 --> 06:46:50,179
Okay, well. It's amazing. What about Wen Miller? What would

6216
06:46:50,219 --> 06:46:54,402
you like to tell me about Wen Miller? I got

6217
06:46:54,422 --> 06:46:56,704
to tell you, it made me so mad. What about

6218
06:46:56,764 --> 06:47:01,066
Wen Miller? Okay, okay. I like him so. What about,

6219
06:47:01,647 --> 06:47:04,609
what about? with Gwen Miller. I just skipped it. I'm

6220
06:47:04,709 --> 06:47:08,432
sorry. Okay. Just check it. Thank you for keeping that

6221
06:47:08,492 --> 06:47:12,094
going. Sir Brian with an I. One thing that always

6222
06:47:12,154 --> 06:47:14,536
made me happy is that John always responded to my

6223
06:47:14,676 --> 06:47:17,598
emails with laughter. My favorite one was a couple months

6224
06:47:17,618 --> 06:47:19,959
ago when you guys were talking about selling beer that

6225
06:47:20,059 --> 06:47:23,262
tastes like your armpits. I don't remember this product. I

6226
06:47:23,762 --> 06:47:26,704
immediately emailed John and told him that his flavor has

6227
06:47:26,784 --> 06:47:30,046
to be called It's No Sweat Off My Balls. He

6228
06:47:30,166 --> 06:47:31,948
got a good laugh, but I was sad that I

6229
06:47:32,008 --> 06:47:33,809
didn't get to hear it and with that I say

6230
06:47:33,949 --> 06:47:37,031
goodbye to you my friend on the other end godspeed

6231
06:47:37,131 --> 06:47:41,094
sir brian with an eye Chris Kincaid, Tyler, Texas. John

6232
06:47:41,274 --> 06:47:43,495
will be deeply missed. Praying for comfort and peace for

6233
06:47:43,555 --> 06:47:45,937
the Dvoraks, for Adam, and for Noah, Jen, and the

6234
06:47:45,977 --> 06:47:48,379
nation. It will be a different world without John twice

6235
06:47:48,439 --> 06:47:54,683
a week. Rory Buska from Novi, Michigan. Devastated beyond belief

6236
06:47:54,763 --> 06:47:57,125
at losing John. The No Agenda show has meant so

6237
06:47:57,205 --> 06:47:59,746
much to me since I started listening in 2010. Thank

6238
06:47:59,787 --> 06:48:02,869
you for so many years. Rest in peace, JCD, says

6239
06:48:02,969 --> 06:48:07,232
Drew Vieneman. Holly Erlinson from Fredericksburg, Texas, right here from

6240
06:48:07,312 --> 06:48:10,594
our church. So many things I appreciated about John, but

6241
06:48:10,654 --> 06:48:12,495
I think I'm going to miss his laugh the most.

6242
06:48:12,635 --> 06:48:15,717
I loved his laugh, made me smile. Prayers for Mimi

6243
06:48:15,777 --> 06:48:19,460
and all who knew him personally from Holly. James Hummert,

6244
06:48:19,560 --> 06:48:22,302
Denver, Colorado. We'll miss you, John. Thank you for everything.

6245
06:48:22,982 --> 06:48:27,646
Sir Eximedia, Toronto, Ontario. Rest in peace, the best podcaster

6246
06:48:27,666 --> 06:48:30,327
in the universe. Love you, JCD. You kicked ass at

6247
06:48:30,407 --> 06:48:33,029
all times. Lots of strength to Mimi, the kids, and

6248
06:48:33,129 --> 06:48:36,692
Adam. God bless you guys. Jobs, karma, please. Sir Eximedia

6249
06:48:37,232 --> 06:48:45,818
of Toronto. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for

6250
06:48:45,878 --> 06:48:49,180
jobs. You've got karma. Kat from Richmond, Texas. Rest in

6251
06:48:49,240 --> 06:48:53,183
peace, JCD. Your sharp wisdom, humor, and unmatched media insight

6252
06:48:53,263 --> 06:48:56,025
made no agenda with Adam and DH Unplugged with Andrew.

6253
06:48:56,125 --> 06:48:58,907
Truly one of a kind. You, sir, and your uncanny

6254
06:48:59,007 --> 06:49:04,871
stock picks with me deeply missed. JTC Cat. Brian Peel,

6255
06:49:05,231 --> 06:49:08,273
Lewisburg, Tennessee. Rest in peace, John. Shouldn't still be a

6256
06:49:08,313 --> 06:49:10,655
douchebag, but I have been. Well, you got a de-douching.

6257
06:49:12,536 --> 06:49:15,738
You've been de-douched. Owe you this for all the years.

6258
06:49:15,778 --> 06:49:19,961
Rest in peace, John. Definitely not crying. Sarcasm. PBR jingle

6259
06:49:20,041 --> 06:49:22,083
for some old time's sake. Yes, at the end. Makes

6260
06:49:22,123 --> 06:49:25,545
me think of JCD. Sir JB of the Chesapeake Bay,

6261
06:49:25,625 --> 06:49:29,788
Clarksville, Maryland. My condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families

6262
06:49:29,848 --> 06:49:31,869
as well as Noah Jenner Nation. We lost a great

6263
06:49:31,949 --> 06:49:34,751
man this week and person who had a profound impact

6264
06:49:34,831 --> 06:49:37,313
on how I view the world. I can't express my

6265
06:49:37,373 --> 06:49:39,735
thanks enough to John and Adam for keeping me entertained

6266
06:49:39,855 --> 06:49:43,417
and most importantly sane over the last 17 years. I

6267
06:49:43,497 --> 06:49:46,579
heard Adam on the Howard Stern Show in 2010 and

6268
06:49:46,619 --> 06:49:48,841
that led me to start listening and probably have missed

6269
06:49:49,021 --> 06:49:52,603
under 10 episodes over the last 17 years. I never

6270
06:49:52,643 --> 06:49:55,085
looked at the news the same again. As a fitting

6271
06:49:55,165 --> 06:49:58,608
tribute, I was almost exactly $88 away from becoming a

6272
06:49:58,648 --> 06:49:59,989
Viscount, and with his passing,

6273
06:50:00,060 --> 06:50:02,841
It seems fitting to do 8888 to push me over

6274
06:50:02,841 --> 06:50:05,403
the top. I plan on being at the round table

6275
06:50:05,443 --> 06:50:07,865
and would like some peppery ants in honor of John.

6276
06:50:08,645 --> 06:50:12,308
Yes. I'll send them. Yes. My birthday is August 8th,

6277
06:50:12,308 --> 06:50:14,910
and I always enjoyed when Mimi and John's anniversary came

6278
06:50:14,950 --> 06:50:17,872
around as I knew the show would talk about 8A.

6279
06:50:18,152 --> 06:50:21,054
God bless the Dvoraks, Adam, and all the producers. Thank

6280
06:50:21,114 --> 06:50:23,776
you for your courage. Viscount JB of the Chesapeake Bay

6281
06:50:24,196 --> 06:50:28,919
and Northern Pennsylvania. Mike Robinson, Salem, Oregon. John likes short

6282
06:50:29,019 --> 06:50:32,362
notes. He will be missed. ITM. He loved that. Commodore

6283
06:50:32,442 --> 06:50:47,442
Tech Guy. Ty. Mike Beal, we will miss you, John.

6284
06:50:55,437 --> 06:51:05,244
Mayumi Akiyama from Tottori in Japan. feel really, really sad,

6285
06:51:05,664 --> 06:51:07,385
but I'm grateful that I found the show a few

6286
06:51:07,465 --> 06:51:09,187
years ago. I want to go back and listen to

6287
06:51:09,227 --> 06:51:13,229
all the past shows. Anthony Renna, Simpsonville, South Carolina. Thank

6288
06:51:13,269 --> 06:51:15,931
you for your courage, JCD. Rest in peace. David Oliver.

6289
06:51:16,472 --> 06:51:19,414
So sorry for the Dvorak family loss. JCD was truly

6290
06:51:19,434 --> 06:51:21,195
a one of a kind. I will miss him after

6291
06:51:21,215 --> 06:51:24,237
30 plus years of reading his material. Rest in peace.

6292
06:51:25,057 --> 06:51:27,659
Sir Smash of the Lone Wolves in Meppel in the

6293
06:51:27,679 --> 06:51:31,222
Netherlands. Stay strong, all. Rene Tabak, Sir Smash of the

6294
06:51:31,282 --> 06:51:35,585
Lone Wolves, Meppel, the Netherlands. Micah Farrell. I found John

6295
06:51:35,645 --> 06:51:37,986
on Twit, and after numerous mentions of the No Agenda

6296
06:51:38,006 --> 06:51:41,108
show, I finally started listening. With only a brief hiatus,

6297
06:51:41,188 --> 06:51:43,510
I could not stop listening. I came back for the

6298
06:51:43,530 --> 06:51:46,252
news and stayed for the entertainment. John truly will be

6299
06:51:46,332 --> 06:51:50,735
missed from Micah. William Kozu, Phoenix, Arizona. John and Adam

6300
06:51:50,775 --> 06:51:52,896
have been part of my life for 10 years, even

6301
06:51:52,916 --> 06:51:55,178
though I never had the opportunity to meet JC. I

6302
06:51:55,258 --> 06:51:57,620
still feel like I knew him. I'm so sad to

6303
06:51:57,660 --> 06:52:00,081
hear about his passing and will miss him dearly. Adam,

6304
06:52:00,482 --> 06:52:04,284
my condolences to you and the Dvoraks. Sir Michael Wisconsin,

6305
06:52:04,304 --> 06:52:07,266
Knight of the Pipe. Greetings Mimi and Adam. I'm deeply

6306
06:52:07,326 --> 06:52:09,988
saddened to hear about John's passing. I hope you will

6307
06:52:10,028 --> 06:52:12,710
find some peace and comfort during this difficult time. I

6308
06:52:12,750 --> 06:52:15,452
will truly miss his antics and unique rants on the

6309
06:52:15,512 --> 06:52:18,514
show. Sincerely, Sir Michael Wisconsin, Knight of the Pipe. He

6310
06:52:18,574 --> 06:52:21,816
wants us some hot pockets. Sandy the Knight Who Says

6311
06:52:21,996 --> 06:52:28,261
Nigh. Castle Garb. Knee? Knee? Oh, knee. Yes, I see

6312
06:52:28,301 --> 06:52:32,303
the pronunciations. Who says knee? Castle Garb, British Columbia. During

6313
06:52:32,363 --> 06:52:35,686
COVID, you and John may have saved my life. Okay.

6314
06:52:36,126 --> 06:52:38,367
I could never thank you enough. With love, Sandy the

6315
06:52:38,387 --> 06:52:40,989
Knight, who says knee. And please pay dogs in the

6316
06:52:41,049 --> 06:52:43,851
stroller at the end of the show. Will do. Jason

6317
06:52:43,931 --> 06:52:49,055
Reed, Houston, Texas. Shorter note version. Please de-douche me. You've

6318
06:52:49,155 --> 06:52:53,558
been de-douched. John is now the man who put the

6319
06:52:53,638 --> 06:52:56,560
C in see you in heaven. No jingles, but jobs,

6320
06:52:56,640 --> 06:53:01,883
karma, please. Jason P. Reed from Houston, Texas. Jobs, jobs,

6321
06:53:02,364 --> 06:53:07,627
jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma.

6322
06:53:09,148 --> 06:53:13,351
Sir J-Mo, Black Baron, Lewiston, Idaho. Rest in peace, J-City,

6323
06:53:13,511 --> 06:53:16,453
from Sir J-Mo. Dude named Muhammad gave us a lot

6324
06:53:16,493 --> 06:53:18,835
of boots on the ground. My deepest condolences to the

6325
06:53:18,915 --> 06:53:21,857
Dvorak family, to Adam, and to the Gitmo Nation community.

6326
06:53:22,558 --> 06:53:24,899
John pulled me into this world from twit and from

6327
06:53:24,959 --> 06:53:28,141
that moment on he never stopped challenging me. Over time

6328
06:53:28,201 --> 06:53:30,303
I became a producer in every sense whether it was

6329
06:53:30,383 --> 06:53:33,225
boots on the ground, artwork design or being knighted. I

6330
06:53:33,405 --> 06:53:36,347
always cherished exchanging ideas with John and Adam and it

6331
06:53:36,367 --> 06:53:38,248
meant a great deal to me when some of my

6332
06:53:38,328 --> 06:53:41,570
thoughts resonated with John. The only exception was his endless

6333
06:53:41,691 --> 06:53:45,153
wine tips which I kept playfully protesting as a Muslim.

6334
06:53:45,653 --> 06:53:47,995
Rest in peace John the great buzzkill. Thank you for

6335
06:53:48,015 --> 06:54:03,015
your courage dude named Mohammed. Jeff Coleman, Waterville, Minnesota. Wow.

6336
06:54:22,378 --> 06:54:25,801
making either of those numbers up. Wow. John was already

6337
06:54:25,861 --> 06:54:28,002
on our short list of names, but hearing of John's

6338
06:54:28,082 --> 06:54:31,585
passing cemented it for me. See picture attached of John

6339
06:54:31,825 --> 06:54:35,867
Coleman moments after birth is beautiful. I'm devastated that I

6340
06:54:35,928 --> 06:54:38,589
won't hear John's voice going forward, but take a little

6341
06:54:38,669 --> 06:54:41,611
solace at the show archives remain. May his memory be

6342
06:54:41,731 --> 06:54:48,376
eternal. Jeff Coleman. Chet St. Clair, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. 8888 to

6343
06:54:48,416 --> 06:54:52,299
help build the statue. Okay, sure thing. Edward Noom, no,

6344
06:54:52,439 --> 06:54:55,781
no, but we thank you. Commodore Doder. I love our

6345
06:54:55,841 --> 06:55:00,764
military guys. Commodore Doder of the South Gulf Fleet. Dvorak

6346
06:55:00,865 --> 06:55:02,806
family and Adam, my son texted me the news while

6347
06:55:02,806 --> 06:55:04,687
I was traveling back home from my wife and I's

6348
06:55:04,767 --> 06:55:07,909
25th anniversary trip. At first, I didn't believe it. Then

6349
06:55:07,969 --> 06:55:10,551
I saw the newsletter and was immediately convinced this wasn't

6350
06:55:10,671 --> 06:55:13,733
a donation ploy by John. My wife hit me in

6351
06:55:13,773 --> 06:55:16,595
the mouth several hundred episodes ago and I've not missed

6352
06:55:16,655 --> 06:55:18,937
a single one. My oldest son and I often discuss

6353
06:55:18,997 --> 06:55:21,198
the episodes whenever we had a chance to chat. We

6354
06:55:21,298 --> 06:55:24,681
love the show. Given John's larger than life persona and

6355
06:55:24,721 --> 06:55:28,183
his apparently infinite pool of knowledge of literally every subject,

6356
06:55:30,645 --> 06:55:34,708
entertaining with stories and broadening our horizons. His perspective on

6357
06:55:34,808 --> 06:55:37,409
life is something I will always remember fondly. Even in

6358
06:55:37,430 --> 06:55:40,211
the most turbulent times and when most people become frantic

6359
06:55:40,271 --> 06:55:43,233
and anxious, John will bring a calming energy to the

6360
06:55:43,253 --> 06:55:47,616
conversation with wit, sarcasm, and a touch of grumpiness, and

6361
06:55:47,676 --> 06:55:50,298
everything would seem okay. Though I never met him or

6362
06:55:50,378 --> 06:55:53,100
had dinner at his house, I enjoyed email conversations with

6363
06:55:53,140 --> 06:55:56,783
him on some topics. I'd given some boots-on-the-ground reports on

6364
06:55:56,883 --> 06:56:00,785
him, and he was very interesting and insightful. He has

6365
06:56:00,845 --> 06:56:03,027
certainly made a lasting impact on my life and I

6366
06:56:03,027 --> 06:56:06,309
will miss hearing his voice each week. Dvorak family and

6367
06:56:06,429 --> 06:56:08,811
Adam, please know we share in your sadness and offer

6368
06:56:08,831 --> 06:56:11,793
our condolences and prayers for comfort during this difficult time.

6369
06:56:12,253 --> 06:56:15,475
I pray God grants you strength and peace. John, you

6370
06:56:15,556 --> 06:56:17,877
are a hero to many, including me. Thank you for

6371
06:56:17,997 --> 06:56:22,380
all the wonderful wisdom, insightful analysis, and hilarious commentary over

6372
06:56:22,440 --> 06:56:25,122
the years. You were a national treasure and we'll miss

6373
06:56:25,142 --> 06:56:28,424
you very much. Sincere regards, Commander Doder of the South

6380
06:57:01,307 --> 06:57:05,289
you, Tom. Stafford, Virginia. My most recent Substack post is

6381
06:57:05,349 --> 06:57:09,032
about remembering John. I can say more than I should

6382
06:57:09,092 --> 06:57:13,755
here. Starkweather.substack.com. I dearly miss him. And there's Dame Nancy

6384

us through this. Please keep him in your prayers. ITM,

6385
06:57:19,819 --> 06:57:22,681
Dame Nancy of the Confused. Thank you, Robert Schweitzer, for

6386
06:57:22,741 --> 06:57:28,345
your 8888 from Fairfield, Ohio. Chris O'Brien, Boston, Massachusetts. I

6387
06:57:28,405 --> 06:57:30,827
can't believe he's no longer with us all. I miss

6388
06:57:30,907 --> 06:57:33,348
John greatly. I've been a listener since show 100 and

6389
06:57:33,389 --> 06:57:36,491
been following John since his days on Silicon Spin. His

6390
06:57:36,551 --> 06:57:39,833
contrarian and well-researched viewpoints always taught me a thing or

6391
06:57:39,913 --> 06:57:42,134
two, and he never failed to make me laugh. You

6392
06:57:42,195 --> 06:57:44,996
will always be remembered fondly. Rest in peace, John, from

6393

6394

jingles, no karma. Tyler Goetz. I discovered the show as

6395
06:57:53,963 --> 06:57:57,105
a teenager and as much and as such have been

6396
06:57:57,125 --> 06:58:00,287
listening to no agenda my entire adult life. In many

6397
06:58:00,347 --> 06:58:03,509
ways, I feel like John raised me. Poor child. I

6398
06:58:03,569 --> 06:58:06,631
am truly blessed to have experienced his perspective, humor, and

6399
06:58:06,691 --> 06:58:09,813
wisdom. He will be sorely missed. And there is Sir

I have to look that one up. Jacob from Doosan

6404
06:58:25,284 --> 06:58:29,747
in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Podcasting has made John eternal. Anyone can

6405
06:58:29,807 --> 06:58:32,069
listen to his shows and learn just how awesome he

6406
06:58:32,149 --> 06:58:36,071
was. My heartfelt condolences go out to all. Mark Christie,

6407
06:58:36,171 --> 06:58:39,373

Godcaster, this is Steve Webb, and Lady Leanne from Riverside,

6410
06:58:46,699 --> 06:58:51,502
California. known him forever. To me, JCD was a lovable

6411
06:58:51,582 --> 06:58:55,064
curmudgeon. He could be cantankerous, gruff, and crusty, but these

6412
06:58:55,164 --> 06:58:58,006
were well-earned traits formed by years of dealing with the

6413
06:58:58,046 --> 06:59:02,790
nonsense his finely honed sensibility so easily detected. He was

6414
06:59:02,870 --> 06:59:05,852
sometimes frustrating to listen to, but impossible to stay mad

6415
06:59:05,932 --> 06:59:08,593
at for long. I'd been a fan for 40 years,

6416
06:59:08,653 --> 06:59:12,236
first discovering him with his PC Magazine column, which became

6417
06:59:12,256 --> 06:59:14,377
the first thing I would read with each new issue.

6418
06:59:15,098 --> 06:59:17,459
As so many have already said, John, I will miss

6419
06:59:17,459 --> 06:59:20,161
you. Lovely Lady Leanne and I are praying for the

6420
06:59:20,181 --> 06:59:23,143
Dvorak family, Adam and Tina, and everyone who knew John

6421
06:59:23,203 --> 06:59:26,506
and loved him. Adam, we're specifically praying for wisdom as

6422
06:59:26,566 --> 06:59:29,968
you decide on no agenda's next step. P.S. If I

6423
06:59:30,008 --> 06:59:32,210
didn't know better, I would say John paid us a

6424
06:59:32,290 --> 06:59:34,791
visit this past Monday night. For the first time in

6425
06:59:34,871 --> 06:59:38,033
a very long time, our kitchen was inundated with ants.

6426
06:59:40,535 --> 06:59:44,858
You bet. Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. No doubt

6427
06:59:44,878 --> 06:59:46,759
the show is already too long by the time you

6428
06:59:46,840 --> 06:59:48,881
get to reading this note, but after listening to six

6429
06:59:49,001 --> 06:59:52,383
plus hours of show 1888, it dawned on me that

6430
06:59:52,403 --> 06:59:56,486
a huge opportunity was missed. So here goes. Adios, mofos.

6431
06:59:56,966 --> 06:59:59,989
Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. Thank you, Jacob Schultz.

6432
07:00:00,080 --> 07:00:05,103
from Strasburg, Illinois for your 8888. Jason Shepard, I still

6433
07:00:05,143 --> 07:00:07,485
can't believe it. I've only been listening for about six

6434
07:00:07,605 --> 07:00:09,986
years, but JCD and No Agenda have had such a

6435
07:00:10,867 --> 07:00:13,469
profound effect on my life. I don't even know what

6436
07:00:13,489 --> 07:00:15,770
to say other than I'm sorry, and my heart goes

6437
07:00:15,890 --> 07:00:20,313
out to everyone in Gitmo Nation. Brent Statton, Huntsville, Ontario.

6438
07:00:21,014 --> 07:00:23,976
Mourn ye not o'er my departure, mourn ye not I

6439
07:00:24,076 --> 07:00:26,818
go upon a journey, mourn ye not my journey is

6440
07:00:26,898 --> 07:00:31,481
eternal. From Little Wapameo Island on Canoe Lake in Algonquin

6441
07:00:31,581 --> 07:00:35,504
Park, thank you for sharing John with us. Nigel and

6442
07:00:35,564 --> 07:00:39,647
Karen Ewan from Columbus, Ohio. I remember meeting John in

6443
07:00:39,707 --> 07:00:44,370
the legendary Sacramento Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories

6444
07:00:44,410 --> 07:00:47,472
about refineries and manner of things from the observation car

6445
07:00:47,832 --> 07:00:50,954
on the California Zephyr. It's one of my most cherished

6446
07:00:51,014 --> 07:00:55,337
memories. God bless from Oscars. Oh, wait. I skipped over.

6447
07:00:55,397 --> 07:00:58,680
Hold on. Nigel and Karen Ewan. Sorry. We have listened

6448
07:00:58,700 --> 07:01:00,521
to No Agenda for many years. We're on a six

6449
07:01:00,661 --> 07:01:03,223
No Agenda baby. There you go. Is one of them

6450
07:01:03,283 --> 07:01:06,905
named Adam finally? John was a king. We keep crying

6451
07:01:06,945 --> 07:01:09,427
when we rinse grease down the drain or say for

6452
07:01:09,507 --> 07:01:14,110
some unknown reason. Much love, Nigel and Karen Ewan. Now,

6453
07:01:14,290 --> 07:01:17,953
Oscar Z. I remember meeting John on the legendary Sacramento

6454
07:01:18,073 --> 07:01:21,475
Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories about refineries and

6455
07:01:21,555 --> 07:01:24,157
manner of things from the observation car in the California

6456
07:01:24,197 --> 07:01:27,059
Zephyr. One of my most cherished memories. God bless, Oscar

6457
07:01:27,159 --> 07:01:30,661
Z. Sir Rain Man, rest in peace, JCD. See you,

6458
07:01:30,801 --> 07:01:32,983
ITM. Thank you for your courage. We will miss you.

6459

Prayers for Noah to the nation. Connection is protection. Love

6460
07:01:36,225 --> 07:01:38,947
is lit. No jingles, no karma from Sir Rain Man.

6461
07:01:39,587 --> 07:01:44,271
Simon Xiong, X-I-O-N-G, J-C-D, it was a pleasure listening to

6462
07:01:44,311 --> 07:01:46,612
you these last six years, and you will truly be

6463
07:01:46,672 --> 07:01:49,934
missed. Your wisdom, knowledge, and candor has helped me understand

6464
07:01:49,954 --> 07:01:52,516
the world a little better and made me a better

6465
07:01:52,596 --> 07:01:55,978
person. For that, I thank you. Thank you, Arthur Silguero,

6466
07:01:56,099 --> 07:02:01,262
for your $88.88 donation. Sir Brian Wright of Mobile Bay

6467
07:02:01,522 --> 07:02:16,522
in Mobile, Alabama. He says, but it was a huge

6468
07:02:35,025 --> 07:02:37,547
honor to finally earn my knighthood and hear my name

6469
07:02:37,607 --> 07:02:39,168
in the list. I hit people in the mouth, but

6470
07:02:39,208 --> 07:02:41,309
I should have hit more. I've been on the $12

6471
07:02:41,730 --> 07:02:44,251
monthly plan for years, and I should have donated more.

6472
07:02:44,351 --> 07:02:47,334
I intended to send notes along the way about episode

6473
07:02:47,414 --> 07:02:50,656
topics mentioned, but I didn't. After losing a few close

6474
07:02:50,716 --> 07:02:52,857
friends and family over the last couple of years, I've

6475
07:02:52,897 --> 07:02:55,619
been more cognizant of late that our time together is

6476
07:02:55,699 --> 07:02:58,541
limited. I continue to cherish all of the many hours

6477
07:02:58,561 --> 07:03:00,943
I've spent listening to the best podcasts in the universe,

6478
07:03:01,303 --> 07:03:04,205
and I've never skipped a donation segment. I raise a

6479
07:03:04,245 --> 07:03:07,868
glass of Costco Bordeaux to John's enduring memory, along with

6480
07:03:07,968 --> 07:03:10,709
everyone else in the No Agenda family. Being a southerner,

6481
07:03:10,950 --> 07:03:13,711
we hug our friends. So I send out a virtual

6482
07:03:13,792 --> 07:03:17,714
hug to you, Mimi, Adam, JCJ, Andrew, and all of

6483
07:03:17,774 --> 07:03:22,017
No Agenda. There's Marty McFly. I'll do Marty. I've got

6484
07:03:22,057 --> 07:03:30,303
Marty. Okay. He's from Koolgardie, Western Australia. You know what's

6485
07:03:30,303 --> 07:03:35,386
true? Not Washington. Western Australia. There you go. Dear Mimi,

6486
07:03:35,486 --> 07:03:38,088
Adam, and the rest of the KnowAgent family. January last

6487
07:03:38,148 --> 07:03:39,749
year, I got hit in the mouth at my friend's

6488
07:03:39,809 --> 07:03:42,331
wedding by one of his friends. I'd met this guy

6489
07:03:42,371 --> 07:03:44,813
a couple of times before and was always fascinated by

6490
07:03:44,873 --> 07:03:48,575
his analysis of geopolitical issues. So I decided to ask

6491
07:03:49,316 --> 07:03:51,077
the guy where he got his news from, and he

6492
07:03:51,177 --> 07:03:54,119
said sternly, well, there's one show and one show only.

6493
07:03:54,159 --> 07:03:57,782
It's KnowAgenda. From that day on, I started listening to

6494
07:03:57,882 --> 07:04:00,103
every show and no agenda became a part of my

6495
07:04:00,163 --> 07:04:03,626
life. John's witty, sometimes cynical remarks would crack me up

6496
07:04:04,066 --> 07:04:07,768
and I found myself unconsciously repeating his words out loud

6497
07:04:07,888 --> 07:04:12,031
in public. Yeah, this is a scam. His stories from

6498
07:04:12,091 --> 07:04:13,572
back in the day made me feel like I was

6499
07:04:13,632 --> 07:04:16,794
listening to the grandfather I never had. For many, he

6500
07:04:16,855 --> 07:04:19,256
was an anchor in the roaring sea of bull crap

6501
07:04:19,316 --> 07:04:22,598
we have to set sail in every day. I know

6502
07:04:22,679 --> 07:04:27,182
he was for me. impact he had on so many

6503
07:04:27,262 --> 07:04:29,283
lives and I'm grateful for the way he touched my

6504
07:04:29,383 --> 07:04:32,545
life. Together you guys have changed the media landscape and

6505
07:04:32,585 --> 07:04:35,647
your work has paved the way for future podcasters and

6506
07:04:35,727 --> 07:04:39,470
inspired me to start my own podcast on food. I

6507
07:04:39,510 --> 07:04:41,812
hope by this time John is stirring up the Golden

6508
07:04:41,852 --> 07:04:44,393
Gates with his wit while offering some of the finest

6509
07:04:44,493 --> 07:04:48,456
wines American retailers have to offer. Thanks for everything JCD.

6510
07:04:48,616 --> 07:04:53,780
You will be missed. Much love, Marty McFly. Sir Ben

6511
07:04:54,020 --> 07:04:58,163
of the Apex, Tiddly Park, Illinois. Love and light to

6512
07:04:58,243 --> 07:05:02,326
you, JCD. Will miss his wit and wisdom. Sir Ben

6513
07:05:02,406 --> 07:05:07,509
of the Apex. Anonymous, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Anonymous first-time donor

6514
07:05:07,569 --> 07:05:12,452
here. I discovered no agenda in the contrived dark winter

6515
07:05:12,473 --> 07:05:16,395
of 2021 when it helped lift my spirits amidst the

6516
07:05:16,455 --> 07:05:19,918
emerging mask dystopia. At first, I thought Adam and John

6517
07:05:19,978 --> 07:05:22,920
were an odd pairing. I didn't understand why the voice

6518
07:05:23,000 --> 07:05:26,382
of Generation X would choose this grouchy old tech reviewer

6519
07:05:26,402 --> 07:05:29,884
of all people. Face of Generation X, okay? The face

6520
07:05:29,984 --> 07:05:38,590
of Generation X. As his co-host. I think you're technically

6521
07:05:38,670 --> 07:05:41,933
a boomer, actually. Shut up, Brennan. No, no, no. It

6522
07:05:42,013 --> 07:05:46,236
took time for my valid. Stop it. It took time

6523
07:05:46,296 --> 07:05:49,198
for my palate to discern the complex flavor notes of

6524
07:05:49,278 --> 07:05:55,462
John's personality, his idiosyncrasies, stories, offbeat timing, and a diabolical

6525
07:05:55,542 --> 07:05:59,124
love of trolling. I can't imagine with no agenda we'll

6526
07:05:59,184 --> 07:06:04,288
be like without him. Rest in peace, JCD. You've been

6527
07:06:04,448 --> 07:06:11,993
dedouched. Sir CB from Tokyo, Japan. In memory of JCD,

6528
07:06:12,293 --> 07:06:14,615
I have followed him in all his endeavors since the

6529
07:06:14,615 --> 07:06:18,197
1980s when he wrote a monthly article that was always

6530
07:06:18,317 --> 07:06:21,279
published on the last page of PCMag. I never met

6531
07:06:21,299 --> 07:06:23,581
him. He was a friend and an educator for me.

6532
07:06:23,781 --> 07:06:28,384
He will be sadly missed. Sir CB in Tokyo. Nepal

6533
07:06:28,464 --> 07:06:33,828
Plumber. Rexburg, Idaho. ITM, Adam, and Dvorak family, no words

6534
07:06:33,868 --> 07:06:37,350
can express how much we will miss JCD. He is

6535
07:06:37,370 --> 07:06:40,653
a legend. Please play the JCD mac and cheese jingle.

6536
07:06:40,693 --> 07:06:44,996
We love you. God bless. Aaron from Auckland, New Zealand.

6537
07:06:46,056 --> 07:06:48,498
To Adam and the Dvorak family, I hope God shows

6538
07:06:48,558 --> 07:06:50,980
you the way forward from your loss. I'm going to

6539
07:06:51,020 --> 07:06:53,601
miss the bickering between JCD and Adam and all the

6540
07:06:53,621 --> 07:06:57,284
jokes in between the media deconstruction. Thank you so much.

6541
07:06:57,684 --> 07:07:03,088
Aaron from Auckland. Sarah A. Martin from Lenark Highlands, Ontario.

6542
07:07:03,768 --> 07:07:06,490
Rest in peace, JCD. Thank you for your courage. Love

6543
07:07:06,530 --> 07:07:10,033
and prayers to Mimi, Adam, and the kids. Your dad

6544
07:07:10,133 --> 07:07:14,236
will live on in my heart. Thank you. The Martinez

6545
07:07:14,316 --> 07:07:18,919
family from Greeley, Colorado. From the Martinez family. Prayers to

6546
07:07:18,979 --> 07:07:21,981
all the Dvorak, Curry families, and Gitmo Nation. God bless.

6547
07:07:23,502 --> 07:07:32,208
Martin... Martin... Heins... Heinsius... No, you're close. Martin... Heinsius... Heinsius...

6548

From... Klaukala, Florida? No, Finland. Oh, it's Klaukala, Finland. Rest

6549
07:07:41,754 --> 07:07:44,756
in peace, John. Shocked by the news, my thoughts go

6550
07:07:45,037 --> 07:07:48,619
out to all affected by John's passing. Please de-douche me.

6551
07:07:48,659 --> 07:07:56,344
You've been de-douched. Please send me Jobs Karma from my

6552
07:07:56,404 --> 07:08:00,307

6558
07:08:37,712 --> 07:08:39,954
Switzerland, as we figured it out. John has been an

6559
07:08:40,074 --> 07:08:43,096
inspirational character and a mentor of life. He'll be deeply

6560
07:08:43,156 --> 07:08:49,440
missed. Rest in peace. Janschen Istra from Erath, Louisiana. I

6561
07:08:49,540 --> 07:08:52,562
send a sincerest condolences to John's family and friends. I

6562
07:08:52,683 --> 07:08:56,425
imagine he arrived in heaven, found Jesus, insisted he turn

6563
07:08:56,545 --> 07:08:59,427
water into wine, and then proceeded to critique the vintage.

6564
07:09:01,569 --> 07:09:05,071
Much love, Jansen. Yeah, I think that's about right. Pretty

6565
07:09:05,111 --> 07:09:09,974
much. Jordan, yeah, it's probably Spritzy. Jordan R. Temple from

6566
07:09:10,194 --> 07:09:13,997
Zanesville, Ohio. I was moved to tears at the opening

6567
07:09:14,037 --> 07:09:17,079
of Thursday's show to learn of John's passing. Praying for

6568
07:09:17,119 --> 07:09:19,741
you all and thank you for your courage so much.

6571
07:09:29,588 --> 07:09:33,350
Mike of not that Paris. RIP, John. My prayers are

6572
07:09:33,430 --> 07:09:36,092
with everyone. I've been listening for over half of my

6573
07:09:36,192 --> 07:09:39,214
life. You guys are like good friends to me. ITM.

6574
07:09:40,395 --> 07:09:45,419
Adam Drago from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thanks for everything, John. You

6575
07:09:45,479 --> 07:09:49,361
will be sorely missed. Cesar Gray Blanco from Monroe, Washington.

6576
07:09:49,481 --> 07:09:54,104
No note, but it was written out. Mark Kan from

Riverview, Nebraska. No. Riverview, North Bend, Canada.

6578
07:10:00,640 --> 07:10:05,163
New Brunswick. There you go. I don't know. Those aren't

6579
07:10:05,183 --> 07:10:07,925
real states. John, it would have been a lot... They're

6580
07:10:07,925 --> 07:10:10,607
not. They're provinces. They're provinces. God, you got me there.

6581
07:10:11,067 --> 07:10:12,808
John, it would have been a lot cheaper if you

6582
07:10:12,888 --> 07:10:16,791
just did this the first time. Still somehow hoping this

6583
07:10:16,871 --> 07:10:19,513
is an elaborate ruse to boost donations. 80 is too

6584
07:10:19,573 --> 07:10:22,034
young for a guy like John. Thank you for everything,

6585
07:10:22,095 --> 07:10:27,258
John. Peace of Christ to all. Mark Kahn. C.P. Morley,

6588
07:10:40,447 --> 07:10:45,731
Joyce, Rangiora. Why don't you close this out, Adam? I

6589
07:10:45,791 --> 07:10:48,112
think it's only right. Wait, are we going past 88?

6590
07:10:48,112 --> 07:10:49,573
We're going to 50, aren't we? Are we going to

6591
07:10:49,613 --> 07:10:51,054
read all of it? You're right. We are going to

6592
07:10:51,094 --> 07:10:55,777
read them all. Harley Joyce, Rangiora, New Zealand. Thoughts go

6593
07:10:55,858 --> 07:10:59,580
out to JC's family and everyone in NoGenination. Derek Allison.

6594
07:10:59,640 --> 07:11:03,723
I can take it. Yeah, go. Derek Allison, Rock Springs.

6599

this. You got this one. Arnhem in the Netherlands. John,

6600
07:11:37,346 --> 07:11:39,407
bedankt voor alles. Het was fijn om te horen dat

6601
07:11:39,507 --> 07:11:41,669
Mimi bij je was toen je de hoek omging. Je

6602
07:11:42,149 --> 07:11:44,070
hebt dat heel mooi gedaan voor haar. Dat is een

6603
07:11:44,190 --> 07:11:47,012
groot ding. Ik ga je vreselijk missen. Groeten van Zander.

6604
07:11:48,373 --> 07:11:50,055
I think you should have let JC do it, though.

6605
07:11:50,055 --> 07:11:52,916
It would have been funnier for the poor people. We've

6606
07:11:52,936 --> 07:11:55,678
been going for seven hours, Mimi. I know, I know.

6607
07:11:55,778 --> 07:11:58,340
Yeah, we can't. Hey, you know, you just have to

6608
07:11:58,400 --> 07:12:01,923
stop by midnight. Oh, yeah, we'll get there. All right.

6609
07:12:02,423 --> 07:12:04,705

just go through these. Coming up with a note. Yeah.

6613

6618
07:12:39,588 --> 07:12:40,929
missed. I think this puts me over to be a

6619
07:12:40,989 --> 07:12:43,031

Sirka Donor from Northern British Columbia, Canada I was shattered

6647
07:14:39,550 --> 07:14:42,212
when I read that newsletter. John was like a favorite

6648
07:14:42,232 --> 07:14:44,333
uncle I never met. Many great things to say, but

6649
07:14:44,333 --> 07:14:46,755
we'll keep it short. Just want to share my perspective

6650
07:14:46,755 --> 07:14:48,376
of the impression he left on me. Much love to

6862
07:32:37,509 --> 07:32:42,052
it, John. Tell us your peeve about the fisting method

6863
07:32:42,192 --> 07:32:44,714
of eating snacks on an airplane. I see this on

6864
07:32:44,794 --> 07:32:46,796
the airplane, and it's very annoying, and I think it

6865
07:32:46,836 --> 07:32:49,878
will result in fights breaking out because it's just so

6866
07:32:50,018 --> 07:32:54,361
annoying to watch. Guy takes his bag of peanuts. Throws

6867
07:32:54,461 --> 07:32:57,003
a pile of them into his palm of his hand.

6868
07:32:58,904 --> 07:33:07,050
Bye. Try to bring a nut to the little hole.

6869
07:33:07,250 --> 07:33:12,333
Stop. And then he- There was a nut in his

6870
07:33:12,434 --> 07:33:16,416
mouth from his fist. Then he does it again, he

6871
07:33:16,516 --> 07:33:28,165
shakes and throws and shakes and throws. gonna break loose

6872

6877
07:34:46,039 --> 07:34:51,202
woman, child, and man That was on my list. I

6878
07:34:51,262 --> 07:34:55,445
don't care if I'm missed. I'm remote controlled. I do

6879
07:34:55,545 --> 07:35:00,329
what I'm told by someone at a computer. Obama gave

6880
07:35:00,409 --> 07:35:04,832
me a push, more than Bush, and I cost millions.

6881
07:35:04,852 --> 07:35:10,456

6882
07:35:10,796 --> 07:35:14,599

my way. A drone again, naturally. ♪ A drone again

6884
07:35:47,421 --> 07:35:53,746
you I don't know if we had ants, we had

6885
07:35:53,786 --> 07:35:58,769
ant invasion. I was thinking if you desiccated a big

6886
07:35:58,869 --> 07:36:01,932
pile of ants and then ground them to a powder

6887
07:36:01,992 --> 07:36:07,195
like a fine grind black pepper. We were having dinner

6888
07:36:07,255 --> 07:36:12,399
and yeah, I got an ant somehow in the meal

6889
07:36:12,939 --> 07:36:15,261
and I ate it. These things are peppery. I got

6890
07:36:15,481 --> 07:36:28,810
ants. We got ants. They don't need a lot. And

6891
07:36:28,850 --> 07:36:31,152
then you see, you find all the ones that are

6892
07:36:31,172 --> 07:36:33,874
roaming around. I backed him off by doing the burning

6893
07:36:33,934 --> 07:36:39,658
trick. leave them there. The only anti-diracation moments where there's

6894
07:36:39,738 --> 07:36:42,340
an ant that you do not torch, and that's an

6895
07:36:42,600 --> 07:36:45,622
ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back. I

6896
07:36:45,622 --> 07:37:00,622
got ants. I got ants. I got ants. I got

6897
07:37:03,514 --> 07:37:18,514
