  ♪ The guy's becoming an alcoholic since he's been doing
• 0:00
  Here it comes. Ah, there it is. Adam Curry. John
• 0:06
  C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, July 26, 2026. This is your
• 0:09
  award-winning Get More Nation media assassination episode 1889. This is
• 0:14
  no agenda. that intro at the moment. Hello, Noah Gendonation.
• 0:41
  Hello, Troll Room here live on Sunday the 26th. What
• 0:46
  a week it's been. We've been laughing through all of
• 0:49
  the tears. I've been on the phone with the entire
• 0:53
  Dvorak clan, many people who, of course, knew John. It's
• 0:57
  been, the outpouring has just been so amazing. John, I'm
• 1:02
  sure, would just love seeing his name trending on X.
• 1:06
  What is up with that? Years and years ago have
• 1:10
  suddenly reappeared and every single one of you who emailed
• 1:14
  me and said, "Hey, I'm sure your email box is
• 1:16
  blowing up right now." But I'm telling you, yes, it
• 1:19
  is overwhelming. Now, on Thursday's show, we gathered John's friends
• 1:25
  and family, and we mourned him. We remembered him. We
• 1:29
  talked about him. We laughed about him. And today it
• 1:33
  is the producer's turn. Before I intro what y'all have
• 1:37
  put together for him, I want you to know that
• 1:40
  right after the next, I think it's about two hours
• 1:43
  and 43 minutes, we will be telling you how we're
• 1:48
  moving forward with No Agenda, because the show, of course,
• 1:53
  just can't stop. Things will change, and there's a lot
• 1:58
  of interesting waters to navigate as we move forward. We
• 2:01
  also have such an outpouring of... respect and love for
• 2:07
  John. So we will be reading several hours worth of
• 2:10
  donations and I look forward to it because every single,
• 2:14
  I know everybody's grieving and I just love to see
• 2:17
  how everybody is pouring their hearts out into these notes.
• 2:21
  So I had asked if you had a favorite clip
• 2:24
  from the show, a favorite bit, anything that you liked,
• 2:27
  please send it to me. Wow. So we used Clip
• 2:30
  Genie. I think it's called Podherd now. Thank you, Sir
• 2:33
  Deenonymous. He was beefing up his servers. I have to
• 2:36
  say thank you to Void Zero as well on the
• 2:37
  last show. He was adding servers, fixing DNS, all kinds
• 2:42
  of stuff just to keep everything on the air. It's
• 2:44
  wonderful. And so I spent about eight hours yesterday putting
• 2:50
  this show together. And. It was amazing. These are your
• 2:56
  choices. And it was so fun to see how many
• 2:59
  people selected similar things, things that I didn't expect. I'd
• 3:05
  say 80% of what you guys sent in or selected
• 3:08
  on Podherd Clip Genie, I had completely forgotten about. For
• 3:12
  instance, I had completely forgotten that John had done tips
• 3:16
  of the day since episode 200. They just weren't structured
• 3:20
  the way we did them. So it was... It was
• 3:22
  amazing. And somewhere around three, I usually have a glass
• 3:25
  of wine with dinner somewhere around three o'clock. I texted
• 3:28
  Tina. I said, I got to break open a bottle.
• 3:31
  I was laughing, crying, and I think you'll do the
• 3:34
  same. So this is an ode to John. as selected
• 3:39
  by No Agenda Nation, by our producers. And I'm so
• 3:42
  grateful that you did this. So enjoy this, because this
• 3:46
  is coming from you. Blame it on the glitch. And
• 3:49
  I did this work in, you know, 10 minutes. It
• 3:51
  wasn't that hard to find. Blame it on the glitch.
• 3:53
  Yeah, well, reporters don't care. This kind of day. Okay,
• 3:56
  here's a song idea for some. No, no, no. I
• 3:58
  was going to keep going with internal passwords. Well, I'm
• 4:00
  not going to interrupt you. I was going to tell
• 4:01
  the song idea. I am this song, it's Michael Jackson,
• 4:05
  blame it on the boogie to blame it on the
• 4:07
  glitch. Give it that you can't fit that in there
• 4:11
  I think it could be done It could be blaming
• 4:13
  on the buggy Oh, this just sounds too similar. You
• 4:18
  have to rewrite some lyrics to get the rhymes right.
• 4:19
  I can hear Sir Chris popping another beer as we
• 4:22
  speak. Don't blame it on the bad card. Don't blame
• 4:25
  it on the blue load. Or thermal overload. Blame it
• 4:30
  on the glitch. Don't blame it on the bad card.
• 4:33
  Don't blame it on the blue blood. Or thermal overload.
• 4:44
  stuff for this show. Like, hey, man, I'm drunk. Don't
• 4:46
  worry about me. And I remembered a conversation from, I
• 4:54
  was thinking steam engines, I don't think the batteries are
• 4:58
  going to work. And we talked about gasifiers, about wood-burning
• 5:03
  trucks. 12 years ago, you remember that? Yep. And he's
• 5:10
  going to build me one. The gasifier where you burn
• 5:12
  wood and it's going to... I think this is appropriate.
• 5:15
  And it's going to power my existing generator. If anything...
• 5:19
  Oh, I think you should power your truck. Well, and
• 5:22
  that was the second thing. I'm not going to wait
• 5:25
  to buy a flying car. I'm going to get an
• 5:27
  old flatbed Ford that has a tow hitch so I
• 5:32
  can drag the burning system behind me and drive with
• 5:36
  it. Oh, yeah. This is the way I've always seen
• 5:39
  you going out. What do you mean going out? I
• 5:43
  don't want to die. I want to drive. Gasification systems
• 5:49
  are cool as crap and we have so much wood
• 5:52
  around here. And you, he told me about a buddy
• 5:56
  of his who has actually done this with his truck.
• 5:58
  And he says, I can go about 15 miles on
• 6:01
  a dead cat. He said you could throw anything in
• 6:04
  there. You could throw whatever you want. As long as
• 6:06
  it can burn, then you can drive on that. Now,
• 6:10
  there was another element to this, which was the quote-unquote
• 6:13
  fact-checking. And the fact-checking thing is getting really old and
• 6:17
  stale. And one of the things that you, if you
• 6:20
  notice, you listen to the fact-checking, they really didn't find
• 6:22
  a lot of facts that Trump said that were wrong.
• 6:25
  They were just kind of questionable or borderline. Or Trump
• 6:28
  would say something like 3.9 million, and they said, no,
• 6:31
  it was 3.8. 8-5 they're nitpicking about some of these
• 6:35
  facts, you know, so they get added to the 25,000
• 6:38
  lies I know I'd like to strengthen your argument because
• 6:42
  I got a little tired. It's actually more than 16,000
• 6:46
  lies this this is the thing this it should be
• 6:48
  in the Trump rotation 16,000 lies I went and found
• 6:52
  I wanted to find out who has tracked this since
• 6:55
  it's such a thing 16,000 16,000 it's the Washington Post
• 6:59
  the number they are have tread they have a database
• 7:02
  And the number is currently 16,241. And of course, it's
• 7:08
  not lies. They titled this false or misleading claims. Just
• 7:13
  the first page, just to give you an idea of
• 7:15
  what's in here. January 18th, 2020, Trump said, I remember
• 7:20
  2016, the election, the fake news. They said Trump was
• 7:23
  going to have a hard time winning Texas. So that's
• 7:26
  one column. That's the false allegation or the lie. On
• 7:29
  the right-hand column, they have their debunked statement. Literally one
• 7:33
  line. Trump was always going to win Texas easily. So
• 7:37
  that's a lie. So what he said there is a
• 7:39
  lie because that's their fact check. Trump was always going
• 7:43
  to win Texas easily. A couple of others. Before you
• 7:47
  go on, and I like this list, I remember when
• 7:50
  some people were talking about both Georgia and Texas possibly
• 7:54
  switching over. But this is my point. It's very subjective
• 7:59
  claims. Read more. Okay, January 18th, 2020. United States has
• 8:05
  gained 7 million jobs, unthought of. If I had said
• 8:08
  that in the campaign trail, the fake news would have
• 8:10
  gone crazy. The rebuttal, because this of course is false,
• 8:15
  Trump cites how many jobs have been created since the
• 8:17
  election, but not since the beginning of his administration. Ha
• 8:21
  ha! We've got him! Since he took office, it was
• 8:24
  6.7 million! That's nuts! 7 million is rounding up! Lie!
• 8:29
  Lie! The next one, January 18th. The unemployment rate is
• 8:34
  now 3.5%, the lowest in more than 51 years. The
• 8:39
  rebuttal from Washington Post. I have to do the voice.
• 8:42
  For some reason, Trump always stretches this claim. Throughout 2018
• 8:47
  and 2019, a low of 3.5% unemployment would be the
• 8:51
  best in 50 years, not 51! This is the shit
• 8:57
  that's at the top of the list, yes. is 50
• 9:01
  not 51? And that's what they call a lie? Because
• 9:05
  they feel that when he said it, it wasn't a
• 9:07
  year that didn't have the exact number, so it really
• 9:10
  was the best in 50 years and not 51. That's
• 9:13
  one of the lies. You can go through all 16,000
• 9:16
  of them. It's stuff like that. It's called ant-fucking. And
• 9:21
  it's lame. Although very entertaining to read it. It's crazy.
• 9:27
  Well, it just points out the insanity of these people.
• 9:31
  It's the Washington Post. The Washington Post is insane. This
• 9:37
  all began in the 70s. Oh. Late 70s. I was
• 9:41
  very young then, John. This began with a software... entrepreneur
• 9:49
  named Seymour Rubenstein. Seymour Rubinstein, who was the purveyor of
• 9:54
  WordStar, among other products, had developed a very interesting ironclad
• 10:00
  had a licensing agreement. And I've talked to Seymour about
• 10:03
  this over the years. And he always believed that in
• 10:06
  some day in the distant, not too distant future or
• 10:09
  distant future, everything would be licensed, including books and television
• 10:15
  shows that you watch. So you can't copy them. You
• 10:18
  can't because you're licensed it. And maybe you can make
• 10:22
  one back up for personal use, which they're always fighting
• 10:24
  against that too, by the way. So the idea of
• 10:27
  everything being licensed evolved into the shrink wrap license, which
• 10:31
  became law. Which is that terms of service license that
• 10:35
  when you open up a CD, it used to be
• 10:38
  floppies. It's the end user agreement that is on a
• 10:41
  piece of paper. When you rip open the package, you
• 10:44
  have a read. You have accepted it. Yes, you are
• 10:47
  now under contract. a 13 year old kid open it
• 10:53
  because they're not bound by these same legal restrictions anyway
• 10:58
  like that's going to help an interesting john c devore
• 11:00
  act tip This is pretty transparent. Here, play this clip.
• 11:14
  Firestorm over the 2,000 ex-DOJs. I got a comment about
• 11:30
  this. Long time friend. Now, the this if you remember
• 11:35
  about six months, it may even been a year ago.
• 11:37
  There was the same 2000 ex-DOJ guys who signed a
• 11:42
  petition saying that the president should be, I believe, should
• 11:45
  be impeached. And this is just a mailing list. This
• 11:48
  is a group of 2000 that was that are all
• 11:52
  Democrats. You're right. You're right. So I looked into the
• 11:56
  first time it happened, which is the same 2000 guys.
• 11:59
  You can look at the list. It's the same people.
• 12:01
  I looked into this back then when it happened the
• 12:04
  first time. I tracked down two or three of them
• 12:06
  and wrote them, emailed them. Maybe I tracked down more
• 12:09
  than that, but I only got responses from two or
• 12:11
  three of them. Wait, you were trying? So did you
• 12:13
  acquire the entire list? The list is available. That's a
• 12:17
  hot list, man. The article that ran in Medium is
• 12:19
  the same list that they just ran with these people.
• 12:21
  John, you know what we can do with this list?
• 12:23
  Here, we'll send the email. I saw what you were
• 12:25
  doing. I was able to turn on your webcam. I
• 12:28
  saw what you were watching. me five bitcoin come on
• 12:33
  man it's a great list it's a great list to
• 12:34
  do that for i don't have the emails it's just
• 12:37
  a list of names oh that's a problem yeah so
• 12:40
  i had to dig through and dig around and finally
• 12:42
  get the emails for maybe five or six of them
• 12:44
  because some of them are fame in famous law firms
• 12:47
  and you go to the website and there's the guy
• 12:49
  and you know xdoj xd it's just it's amazing how
• 12:51
  many xdoj people there are in giant law firms yeah
• 12:55
  so i sent a bunch of notes out because i
• 12:57
  didn't i thought this sounded like a bunch of bull
• 13:00
  crap and they're just making you know just putting people's
• 13:02
  names down, you know, like petitioners do. But no, they
• 13:05
  wrote back, no, no, yeah, no, I write, they were
• 13:08
  all irked that I even questioned that they signed onto
• 13:11
  this thing. And you can tell they're all just a
• 13:14
  bunch of either never Trumpers or just Democrats that don't
• 13:17
  like Trump. And it's the same group. So this is
• 13:20
  gonna crop up every six to nine months. 2,000 ex-DOJs
• 13:24
  saying that Trump did the wrong thing. This is bull
• 13:27
  crap. And the fact that ABC News of democracy now
• 13:32
  just played it straight is just beyond the pale as
• 13:35
  far as i'm concerned just bad coverage is that very
• 13:38
  well done a good deconstruction i i had forgotten all
• 13:42
  about that list that makes so much sense what a
• 13:44
  bunch it's hooey it's it's malarkey i say then of
• 13:48
  course we have we have a classic a favorite the
• 13:50
  pansexual you know what that is the pansexual of course
• 13:53
  Yeah, yeah. You'll have sex with an animal. Anything. Anything
• 13:57
  goes. Now, what are you going to do? Anyone going
• 14:00
  to eat this meatloaf? I had this book and it
• 14:03
  reminded me of this. I told people this. I can
• 14:07
  look at a guy and tell if he's had a
• 14:08
  vasectomy. Really? His face. The face. And I'm not talking
• 14:13
  about, you know. Okay, wait a minute. Let me just
• 14:15
  get this straight. Let me just get this straight. So
• 14:17
  amongst your many talents, and remember, John has worked for
• 14:20
  oil companies. He's a master chef. He's a wine connoisseur.
• 14:24
  He's a technology expert. He used to hand deliver PC
• 14:28
  Magazine to all 30,000 subscribers. Bowler, too. Not only that,
• 14:32
  but you can tell just by looking at a guy's
• 14:35
  face whether he's had a vasectomy or not. Yeah. Okay.
• 14:39
  Now, how I got clued into this, Let me back
• 14:41
  up a little bit. Oh, please do. I had this.
• 14:44
  Oops, ouch. Backed up too far. So I had this
• 14:49
  book, and I just irked to no end that I've
• 14:52
  lost this book, although I think I might be able
• 14:54
  to find it in one of the library searches that
• 14:57
  Google and Microsoft are doing. I think it's still around.
• 14:59
  It was a book done in the 20s. It was
• 15:02
  a book on health. In the 1920s, vasectomies were used
• 15:07
  as a way of making people look more youthful It
• 15:10
  was actually a, it wasn't for birth control. It was
• 15:14
  done, which I, it was done for the purposes of,
• 15:18
  like instead of a facelift, you'd get a vasectomy. Really?
• 15:21
  And it would make you look younger. And they showed
• 15:22
  all these pictures in this book. And I looked at
• 15:26
  these pictures and I looked at enough of them. And
• 15:28
  then I knew enough guys who had vasectomies that I
• 15:30
  look at that and I could see what it does.
• 15:32
  It makes, for some reason, and it does, you know,
• 15:34
  I talk to people about this, well, it says it
• 15:35
  makes no sense because all it does is this and
• 15:37
  that. How could it do what you're describing? I'm just
• 15:40
  saying. In the 20s. vasectomies were used as a youth
• 15:45
  serum. People get a vasectomy and they look younger by
• 15:49
  a little bit, but in fact they didn't look younger,
• 15:51
  they look different. And it makes your face a little
• 15:54
  puffier and a little more, it's a little softer. It's
• 15:58
  kind of hard to describe, but I'm telling you the
• 15:59
  truth. I have seen, and I've actually done this with
• 16:03
  friends that have had vasectomies and just without coming, I
• 16:08
  say, I just look at them and say, you've had
• 16:09
  a vasectomy, right? the time I'm right. Were we in
• 16:16
  time with the Zephyr or what? We started the whole
• 16:19
  thing just as the Zephyr appeared. It's a 10-car train
• 16:22
  too for some reason. I kept seeing these 10 car
• 16:26
  trains for the last week and I'm thinking, as I'm
• 16:28
  looking at these trains again, why are they 10 cars
• 16:31
  all of a sudden? They've always been eight. 1, 2,
• 16:34
  3, 4, 5, 6, 8 cars. It's not early. I'm
• 16:39
  telling you, I'm hearing it honking, and I think it's
• 16:41
  going to... Well, I mean, I can hear the honk
• 16:43
  from Amoryville, this horn they got on these things. effort.
• 16:49
  Ah, right in time. Perfect. Happy. It's going to be
• 16:53
  a good show. And there goes Zephyr right on top.
• 16:59
  I mean, the Judy, there goes the step for. This
• 17:03
  is Zephyr, by the way, just for your information. All
• 17:05
  right. Go on. There goes the zephyr. Oh! Perfect timing.
• 17:12
  Zephyr. Thank goodness. There we go. tell you a couple
• 17:18
  salt tips okay john c devorex salt tip of the
• 17:22
  day the really great salt in the world that just
• 17:25
  for some reason has got it just has everything going
• 17:28
  for it are these hand uh these things are pulled
• 17:33
  by by individuals uh and various salt marshes and it's
• 17:37
  it's french and but they do make it here and
• 17:40
  there it's called fleur de sel f-l-e-u-r-d-e-s-e-l and this is
• 17:45
  it's a it's an standing solid, especially in a salad
• 17:49
  or something that maintains its crunchiness and it's just a
• 17:52
  fantastic thing. Well, here's, I got my piece of advice.
• 17:55
  All right. I've given this advice before. I'm going to
• 17:58
  give it again. Most people that will supervise you throughout
• 18:01
  your careers are full of crap. And that's the advice.
• 18:07
  The more you know. And they tend to, they can
• 18:12
  be played, and I don't like to say that you
• 18:15
  want to play people, but they can be played by
• 18:17
  just going along with whatever they have to say. Do
• 18:19
  not be argumentative. And I'll give two examples. I'll give
• 18:22
  one example, a good one. Well, actually, I'll give a
• 18:26
  number. I'll generalize. Somebody will say, hey, hey, I don't
• 18:31
  like the way you're doing this. and you're doing it
• 18:35
  whatever way you're doing it and you instead of saying
• 18:38
  well i'm doing it for this reason or that reason
• 18:40
  or whatever you say Oh, okay, what do you want
• 18:44
  me to do? What do you think I should do
• 18:46
  better? I'm all ears. Be very attentive. And then they'll
• 18:50
  tell you the way they want you to do something.
• 18:53
  And then just keep doing it the way you were
• 18:55
  doing it because it's the way you do things. Don't
• 18:57
  pay any attention to their advice. And within... I don't
• 19:02
  know, a few months, they come back to you and
• 19:04
  say, so how's that new way of doing things? And
• 19:07
  you say, it's great. You were right. And the guy
• 19:10
  will say, yep, I've noticed it. You've changed. You're much
• 19:13
  better than you were. And that happens all the time
• 19:17
  because everybody thinks they're so important. And hello, eight months
• 19:22
  ago. This is exactly what has been prognosticated on this
• 19:26
  very program, but it became real when Ticketmaster announced it.
• 19:31
  Ticketmaster may require vaccine or testing proof to go to
• 19:36
  a concert. This sounds like a vaccine certificate becoming almost
• 19:41
  like a passport. Yeah, it might only be the beginning.
• 19:43
  What? I mean, who could have foreseen this? We had
• 19:46
  no... What? It could be almost... It's almost like a
• 19:49
  passport. So Ticketmaster plans to have customers use their cell
• 19:56
  phones to verify their vaccination
• 20:00
  In the past 24 to 72 hours, there are different
• 20:03
  types of apps and companies out there that track your
• 20:06
  health data. So Ticketmaster will use a combination of a
• 20:09
  digital ticketing app with a combination of health info firms
• 20:12
  like Clear and IBM that tracks your health information. Nice
• 20:17
  to see IBM back in the game of putting numbers
• 20:20
  on human beings. They haven't done a real job like
• 20:22
  this since Nazi Germany. Jew tracing and tracking program. Look
• 20:32
  it up, and they're back in the game. We've got
• 20:36
  the documents. Look it up. Do your own research. A
• 20:39
  master will use a combination of a digital ticketing app
• 20:42
  with a combination of health info firms like Clear and
• 20:45
  IBM that tracks your health information and then coordinate with
• 20:48
  testing companies like LabCorp. So Billboard reports a ticket master
• 20:52
  will not be able to store this information or be
• 20:55
  able to access your entire medical record. But how it
• 20:58
  works is that concert goers, you will instruct a lab,
• 21:01
  send over your test results to their health pass companies
• 21:04
  like Clear, like IBM, which would then be verified in
• 21:07
  the Ticketmaster app itself. But you can imagine that it's
• 21:10
  not just concerts. Think of movies and also sporting events.
• 21:15
  What about workplaces in the future? Getting on a plane,
• 21:18
  going on a cruise, going to work. What about privacy
• 21:20
  concerns as well? They say you can't access your medical
• 21:23
  records, but is that discrimination? Something's got to give. That's
• 21:27
  the way it is. That's the way it is? No.
• 21:30
  Barney, you big-headed oaf. No, that's not the way it
• 21:34
  is. Something's not got to give. Only if people give
• 21:37
  into it. And they're gonna. They're gonna. See, I don't
• 21:40
  believe this story is anything more than subtle propaganda to
• 21:44
  get you to go get vaccinated. Are you crazy? This
• 21:48
  is power and control sitting right out there, and they're
• 21:52
  gonna go, oh, we're not like that. We're not actually
• 21:55
  gonna do it. Please. I didn't say that. What did
• 21:58
  you say? The methodology they're using is a threat mechanism.
• 22:03
  Yes. To make it sound as though they're going to
• 22:05
  do it. Oh, okay. And they make it sound serious,
• 22:08
  and probably Varney thinks they are. I mean, who knows?
• 22:11
  But the mechanism is to get you to get vaccinated.
• 22:15
  Right, and it's working. But they're never going to implement
• 22:19
  this bull crap because it costs people money. Okay, okay.
• 22:23
  Redbook putting it in right now. I'm tired. I've got
• 22:26
  to say this. Ticketmaster will not implement this program. Okay.
• 22:30
  Ticketmaster. I'm putting it in. Passport. Today is November 12th,
• 22:38
  2020. And A-C, yes. J-C-D, no. And I will be
• 22:44
  able to read that. It's absolutely going to be implemented.
• 22:48
  You'll never be able to read it because it's never
• 22:50
  going to happen. All right. It's in the book. It's
• 22:53
  fine. We can agree to disagree. No, we can't. We
• 22:57
  cannot agree. You're wrong. You're just wrong. You're just wrong.
• 23:00
  I disagree with that idea. Yeah, I disagree with you,
• 23:03
  period. Why do people keep saying we can agree to
• 23:06
  disagree? Well, it's a way of saying fuck you, I
• 23:09
  think. Now that you mention it, hoopin' sucker, I'm getting
• 23:14
  a little annoyed by the stay safe thing, too. Who
• 23:17
  says stay safe? Everybody. You go to the store. Yeah,
• 23:22
  in California they do. Oh, that's like stay safe. We
• 23:25
  always joke around that when you're out in the field
• 23:28
  in the hurricane. Stay safe. Yeah, same thing. It's just
• 23:32
  you go to the store and you say, okay, how's
• 23:34
  business? Yeah, good. Okay, so long. Stay safe. Stay safe.
• 23:40
  Be well. Just say it constantly. Everybody says it. I
• 23:46
  said it once. Now this is bad. So I have...
• 23:50
  I think I have a good retort because this is
• 23:53
  annoying and we need to stop this. Stay safe. So
• 23:57
  we'll try it out. I've received the goods. Okay, thank
• 23:59
  you very much, John. All right, I'm gone. Oh, well,
• 24:02
  stay safe. Yes, under his eye. and then just walk
• 24:07
  off. Stay safe under his eye. If someone says stay
• 24:13
  safe and you say yes under his eye or under
• 24:16
  his watch, maybe that's not under his eye. Isn't that
• 24:18
  the one from? You talking about some religious thing? No,
• 24:21
  that's from the Handmaiden's Tale. Oh, I say I never
• 24:26
  watched that piece of shit. So clearly a failed attempt
• 24:36
  here. Okay, I'm sorry. So I would go, okay, let's
• 24:39
  do it again. This time you do it. Okay. All
• 24:42
  right. Uh, so, okay, I'll see you later, Adam. Yes,
• 24:47
  okay, John, and hey, stay safe. With Jesus. *laughs* that
• 24:57
  one a lot I like it a lot. And it's
• 25:01
  just a good way. And also, it spreads the word
• 25:04
  of the Lord. So it's not a bad idea. It's
• 25:06
  not a bad idea. It's not somebody's word, but it's
• 25:08
  definitely a showstopper. It's definitely a showstopper. Okay, well, let
• 25:14
  me try another one. Okay. This time, you just say,
• 25:18
  say, right? This is the one I think is maybe
• 25:20
  better. Okay. All right. Okay, I'll see you later, Adam.
• 25:23
  All right, stay safe. Go fuck yourself. What did you
• 25:31
  have for breakfast? The following jingle contains content about anal
• 25:36
  leakage. However, it also provides advice to finding shoes that
• 25:40
  match. Listener discretion is advised. But I have heard of,
• 25:44
  here's another one. And you can look this one up.
• 25:48
  There are these public poopers and there tend to be
• 25:50
  mostly women. Public poopers? God. Hey! The stage came. down
• 26:05
  in the Skipping and a dumping Leave this stranger Thumpin'
• 26:24
  and you Brown stain girl. Here we go. I'm in
• 26:39
  Las Vegas with a group of the people from PC
• 26:41
  Magazine and some PR woman comes up. and sits there
• 26:46
  and starts to talk and then uh she leaves and
• 26:50
  rushes off And one of the guys, I don't know
• 26:53
  how he knows about this, but he said that she
• 26:55
  was, she said he knew that she took it. This
• 26:59
  is disgusting. And I apologize to the listeners of this
• 27:03
  show for bringing this stuff up. But apparently they like
• 27:06
  to go and they just poop in their pants in
• 27:08
  a crowd. In their pants? Yes. My brown stain girl.
• 27:16
  And then they go off somewhere. And some sort of
• 27:19
  weird perversion and... Done. What does ball in court mean?
• 27:47
  That means we are not playing cards, we are playing
• 27:49
  basketball. What? Football. Not tennis? Football. Football. There's no football
• 27:55
  courts. You know what it means, the ball is in
• 27:58
  your court. What does it mean? Well, the ball is
• 28:00
  in your court. And why is he using it as
• 28:02
  a phrase? Is it an American phrase? Is it an
• 28:05
  international phrase? And what court are we talking about? And
• 28:08
  she's explaining, it's bull crap. There is no such thing
• 28:12
  as a ball in a court. Okay, you're now taking
• 28:16
  it. A phrase has always bugged me. Now the ball's
• 28:19
  in your court. Clearly it's bugged you. What am I
• 28:23
  doing? Get the ball in there, get the ball out
• 28:26
  of here. Okay, I'm glad you got that off your
• 28:29
  chest after 60 years. About time. Oh, yes, at minimum.
• 28:33
  This is very... Minimum. I mean, it's a... Is it
• 28:36
  a tennis court we're talking about? It's a sports ball...
• 28:38
  Or a basketball court. A sports ball court. Okay, well,
• 28:42
  since you are so bugged about it, I'll look it
• 28:44
  up. I can look up the... balls in your court
• 28:49
  actually look it up and follow up on this yeah
• 28:52
  well of course i mean i this the ball is
• 28:54
  your origin and meaning okay oh it is yes the
• 28:59
  idiom the it's an idiom john The idiom originates from
• 29:04
  the sport of... Tennis. Once the tennis ball has been
• 29:10
  hit over the net, thus the onus to act, i.e.
• 29:13
  play the next shot, switches to the person whose half
• 29:16
  of the court contains the ball. Or the ball is
• 29:20
  in your half a court, it should be then. It
• 29:22
  should be the ball is in your half court. And
• 29:25
  by this, I proclaim today. March 13th, ball in your
• 29:32
  half of court day. Yusef's Hummus. Okay. It's not bad.
• 29:39
  Yousef's Hummus? Where do you get it? Costco? I don't
• 29:43
  know where I had it. You know, I have it
• 29:45
  in the refrigerator and I don't know where I bought
• 29:46
  it. Now the, which says something. But anyway, the people
• 29:50
  out there who like hummus probably have discovered, I mean,
• 29:54
  if they ever had real hummus in, you know, made
• 29:56
  by an old lady in the basement in a Middle
• 29:58
  Eastern restaurant in the middle.
• 30:44
  them the numbers out of Africa and they're like, yeah,
• 30:46
  so what? You know, the ICUs, they're full, they're full.
• 30:51
  Oh, wait, stop right there. Can I play you my
• 30:53
  clip before you tell us the story? Oh, if it
• 30:55
  is pertinent, of course. South Africa. Our correspondent Nomsa Maseko
• 30:59
  is in Johannesburg. She told me hospitals are under strain.
• 31:03
  They are severely under strain, particularly in two provinces, the
• 31:07
  Western Cape and Guadalupe provinces, where hospitals are at full
• 31:11
  capacity, some by up to 140 percent. But it's not
• 31:16
  just COVID patients that are filling up those beds, but
• 31:20
  it's also trauma cases which are fueled by crime and
• 31:24
  alcohol and also road traffic accidents. The sale of alcohol
• 31:29
  will be banned with immediate effect in South Africa until
• 31:32
  the middle of January next year. Yeah, see, it's exactly
• 31:36
  what's going on here, only in South Africa you can
• 31:39
  see it and it's out in the open because they're
• 31:41
  locked up and they're getting hammered and dying. It's not,
• 31:46
  you heard it very clearly. It's not just, it's not
• 31:48
  COVID. No, no, it's all the other stuff that's going
• 31:50
  on. Well, we've had clips from hospitals saying there's no
• 31:53
  COVID patients in the place, but be that as it
• 31:55
  may. Yeah, back to the lib jabs. There's a phrase
• 31:57
  I don't want to use again. So I'm getting to
• 31:59
  this thing, and then one of them chimes in and
• 32:01
  says, this is great. John's going to obviously not take
• 32:04
  the, That moves me up one place. What, in podcaster
• 32:12
  land? What is he thinking? In the vaccination line. Oh,
• 32:18
  my God. That moves me up one place. Sticking with
• 32:23
  the ICU beds for a sec. Boots on the ground
• 32:25
  breakdown of the constant lack of ICU beds. Anonymous, one
• 32:29
  of our producers. The change in narrative behind the shortage.
• 32:32
  Local hospitals in Richland and Kenwick, Washington, and spat a
• 32:37
  few years ago. It was all about who was allowed
• 32:40
  to build more beds for their hospital. The long and
• 32:42
  short of the lawsuit is that bed counts are controlled
• 32:46
  and awarded by the state department of health. And you
• 32:49
  just can't get more beds of any type if you
• 32:51
  just, cause you want more, there has to be a
• 32:53
  proven need in the area and can't take all the
• 32:56
  customers a neighboring hospital might have room for. There you
• 32:59
  go. So if you slam every media outlet with, we
• 33:01
  don't have enough ICU beds, you can get the public
• 33:03
  opinion on your side and get more of the highly
• 33:06
  profitable beds you would otherwise not be allowed to have.
• 33:09
  You can also use pressure from the quote shortage of
• 33:12
  beds to say the standards of the Department of Health
• 33:14
  are not right and more beds should be allowed because
• 33:16
  of the unprecedented times has shown that we're not prepared.
• 33:19
  So this is the undertone. Wow, that's a great note.
• 33:23
  Isn't that fantastic? That's a great note and it makes
• 33:26
  nothing but sense. Yeah, that's the whole reasoning behind the
• 33:30
  hospital bed shortage because you can see video from around
• 33:34
  the world people outside of the emergency room. no one's
• 33:38
  there there's no one inside it's empty now not all
• 33:41
  of them but it seems bull crappy but this this
• 33:47
  when i hear this it's all about the money yeah
• 33:50
  it's all about the moolah yeah it's all the same
• 33:52
  sector i just had an idea so you could say
• 33:57
  hey hey dvorak you're taking the vaccine and you can
• 33:59
  say no i've decided to give up my place for
• 34:03
  my friend what's his name fill in the blank lib
• 34:06
  joe needs it more than I do. And then the
• 34:09
  next time you can see, you can say it about
• 34:11
  anybody. No, I really feel that my next door neighbor.
• 34:15
  giving up my spot for him. I'll get to the
• 34:17
  back of the line. That's the ticket, baby. Have you
• 34:20
  taken the vaccine? No, no, no. I'm giving up my
• 34:22
  space for someone else who needs it. But I think
• 34:24
  it's better. It's more powerful if you specify it. No,
• 34:27
  I think that is another one of your little gimmicks.
• 34:30
  You've come up with a number of these. I'll give
• 34:32
  you that. It's a toolkit. That was like the different
• 34:35
  things you can say to the TSA. You remember those
• 34:37
  days? Yeah. I can't lift my arms above my head.
• 34:41
  There's a bunch of things you can do, but that
• 34:43
  is a great one. And that's what I'm That's exactly
• 34:46
  what I'm going to say if people ask me what
• 34:47
  I'm going to get. No, you know, I think other
• 34:48
  people need it more than I do. And you can
• 34:50
  just say, go ahead, contact him. Because whenever someone hears,
• 34:53
  hey, I'm here with Adam Curry. the vaccine is giving
• 34:56
  is spot up in line for you. I'm sure most
• 34:59
  people. You are a nice man. best things. I'm in
• 35:07
  on this one. Okay, good. Noted. Joshua Baxter in Fort
• 35:11
  Wayne, Indiana. Phillips of Scandiniato in Staten Island. Jeffrey Lenches.
• 35:23
  Jeffrey Linkage. In. Hell with Slur! You sound like a
• 35:33
  Dutch retard. Jeffrey Leentjes in Hellevoetsluis! Okay. Adam at curry.com.
• 35:45
  Where's Dutch retard, which is a contradiction in terms. Whoa.
• 35:53
  I'm all over. baby pre you know proto tick tock
• 36:00
  back in the day called twigs or whatever the hell
• 36:02
  it was fine twigs twigs oh man it's a new
• 36:10
  video service by Everybody's... Hey, did you post a twig?
• 36:14
  Yeah, I posted a twig. I posted a twig and
• 36:17
  a branch. And so, uh, it has a bud. There's
• 36:22
  a thing about eggs. Uh, everyone's noticed the eggs. We
• 36:25
  have big egg producer, egg farm catching fire. There's a
• 36:32
  people believe that the feed, the chicken feed has changed.
• 36:37
  I have no evidence. There's a lot of people talking
• 36:40
  about it. I have no evidence. No, there's no Let
• 36:46
  me summarize. It goes like this. To put a guy
• 36:50
  on YouTube or TikTok, I've been feeding my chickens this
• 36:55
  new, this Purina feed and they haven't. A whole year
• 36:59
  this chicken hasn't laid an egg. And I got suspicious,
• 37:02
  so I changed the feed. And I gave him some
• 37:05
  of this and some of that. They're laying every once
• 37:07
  a day, just like usual. Which could just be a
• 37:10
  change of feed. I mean, I want to believe it,
• 37:13
  but I think it gets much better with this report
• 37:16
  that is now just circulating. This is from PubMed. It
• 37:21
  looks like mainly Chinese researchers, but it's public. I won't
• 37:26
  give away the title. It was published January 2021. Abstract.
• 37:31
  The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide, and there is
• 37:35
  an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic.
• 37:40
  This study evaluated the potential efficacy of egg yolk and...
• 37:45
  as a neutralizing agent against SARS-CoV-2. We investigated the neutralizing
• 37:50
  effect of anti-spike S1 IG1. egg yolk antibodies on the
• 37:56
  SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the
• 38:00
  bindings of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2,
• 38:05
  which as we know that receptor but people getting sick.
• 38:10
  Our results show that the anti-spike S1 egg yolk antibody
• 38:14
  showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, various spike protein
• 38:22
  mutants, and even SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. It might be a
• 38:25
  feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID-19.
• 38:30
  Now we've got a conspiracy theory. That is a beauty.
• 38:35
  Wow. Now we've got a conspiracy theory. I'm giving you
• 38:39
  10 points for that gem. Thank you. Isn't that cool?
• 38:45
  And if you need to eat more eggs? Oh, then
• 38:48
  get the book. Go download the book for free. Which
• 38:51
  is at too many eggs dot com. I want to
• 38:54
  mention I was up in Port Angeles. And I want
• 38:58
  to just say anyone who's in the Olympic Peninsula ever,
• 39:00
  you've got to make a trip out of your way
• 39:02
  to go to Nash's Produce and buy these carrots that
• 39:06
  he's bred. These carrots are the most astonishing product I've
• 39:10
  ever had insofar as a carrot is concerned. the crunch
• 39:14
  on these things this is like a carrot that's not
• 39:16
  even refrigerated ah come on that's plywood you're cracking there
• 39:24
  that's not really it sounds like a piece of wood
• 39:25
  listen yeah that sounds good that's an outstanding sweet that
• 39:34
  is an outstanding product right there john c devorek anyway
• 39:37
  he's known for these carrots That's my food. People who
• 39:45
  need the food news. that you learn only on the
• 39:49
  No Agenda Show. And, mind you, that impresses the crap
• 39:53
  out of people when you lay that smack down on
• 39:55
  them. Are you a guzzler? Yes, the wine is good
• 39:59
  here.
• 40:45
  from this one post-familiar winery up in Arkansas that makes
• 40:49
  a good one. By good, I mean you can actually
• 40:51
  drink it. You know, they make a really good one
• 40:55
  here in Birmingham. I don't think so. It's actually the
• 41:01
  size of a large apricot, each grape. Large apricot. Large
• 41:11
  apricot. The great Rihanna with her fabulous song "Bitch Better
• 41:31
  Give Me My Money" So in the words of my
• 41:47
  late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Oh no! Woohoo!
• 41:55
  Yeah, everybody! Oh no! MSNBC everybody. Hitman Al Sharpton spells
• 42:11
  respect R-E-S-P-I. What? He's getting lunch at Chipotle. The Tortoise
• 42:29
  in the race. Kim Kardashian. Siganoi Weaver. you They're all
• 42:38
  jitty. R-E-S-P-I-C-T. There's no real conflict. Resist. We must. Resist.
• 42:49
  We must. We must. And we will much about that
• 42:59
  be committed. Another culinary tip from John C. Dvorak. The
• 43:13
  thing that's interesting about PG Tips to me and a
• 43:16
  lot of these other teas, and we were talking about
• 43:17
  Sainsbury's has a nice, I think it's called Red Label,
• 43:21
  which is a competitor, is that the British, when they
• 43:25
  were colonizing the world, they did these long-term deals all
• 43:29
  over the place for things like... So they essentially have...
• 43:36
  The contract is for... tea providers, but they get some
• 43:40
  of the best tea in the world because they kind
• 43:41
  of locked down these deals permanently back in the 1800s.
• 43:44
  Isn't that in some way related to upcoming December 16th
• 43:49
  when we commemorate the Boston Tea Party? Yeah, the Boston
• 43:55
  Tea Party, if you study enough American history, of course,
• 43:58
  this gets pretty peculiar as to why the Boston Tea
• 44:01
  Party took place, but they were trying to shove tea
• 44:03
  down everybody's throat and they were also stealing it from
• 44:05
  China and making them take opium. Really? That was later.
• 44:10
  Here, boys, have some opium. Give us the tea. Woke
• 44:23
  up this morning singing a new song. Everything has changed.
• 44:32
  Walking around the same old world. It's never gonna be
• 44:39
  the same. But in my heart and in my mind,
• 44:46
  I'll keep you there to stay I'm gonna miss you
• 44:52
  in the morning You're always there for me in the
• 44:59
  morning. ♪ in you I'm gonna miss you in the
• 45:21
  morning ♪ Is there for me in the morning ♪
• 45:29
  In the morning Hope to see you someday in the
• 45:35
  morning. I'm gonna miss you. You're always there for me.
• 45:43
  I hope to see you someday in the morning. Yeah,
• 45:58
  well just pay attention to what's going on, people. You'll
• 46:00
  see it. That's why Clooney's always looking down and all
• 46:02
  embarrassed. Yeah, Clooney doesn't like what he's up to. No,
• 46:05
  and he has conscience, but I think he's like, damn,
• 46:08
  man, I got the place and... you know, I got
• 46:13
  the lake house, I got the babes, you know, like
• 46:17
  no one questions my homosexuality. Babes as it were. Yeah.
• 46:19
  No one questions my homosexuality. Right. If you want to
• 46:24
  see, but he does take a little swipe now and
• 46:26
  again. I mean, if you want, but most of those
• 46:29
  movies. There's actually a couple of them he's done, and
• 46:33
  they're always the art pieces. The American is a good
• 46:36
  movie. It's about an assassin. Yes. Very good movie. Syriana.
• 46:41
  Yes, and Men Who Speak to Goats. Speak the goats
• 46:46
  and then that one that he won. Men and the
• 46:48
  goats who look scared next to them. Yes. The other
• 46:53
  one is the one that Swinton won the... Which I
• 46:59
  think is just, I've watched that, it's one of those
• 47:01
  few movies I actually watch if it's on. What was
• 47:04
  that? Let me see. Clooney. Is it on Tuesdays on
• 47:08
  CBS at 9, 8 central? Filmography. No. It might be.
• 47:14
  Let's see what his filmography is. I like The Men
• 47:16
  Who Stared Goats. That was a pretty good movie. It
• 47:18
  was weird. He does a lot of films. I mean,
• 47:21
  this guy's just... And there was droning in that, too.
• 47:23
  That was kind of cool. Droning movie. Up in the
• 47:27
  Air was actually a good film, but it wasn't a
• 47:28
  political movie. It was just about a pathetic guy. Michael
• 47:31
  Clayton. That's the name of the movie? Yeah. Michael Clayton
• 47:36
  is one of the... It's just a great, great film.
• 47:41
  in a big law firm. And it is... And it's
• 47:45
  got all kinds of creepy stuff going on. It's really,
• 47:48
  if you haven't seen Michael Clayton, you have to watch
• 47:50
  it. Just rent it, get it on Netflix, whatever. a
• 47:54
  very good no agenda movie tip yes that's your no
• 47:58
  agenda movie tip of the day well with the passing
• 48:03
  of John C. Dvorak I think is only fitting that
• 48:06
  I declare July 20 holiday in the honor of John,
• 48:11
  the co-creator of the best podcast in the universe. Meanwhile,
• 48:16
  back to the news of the day. Now, I don't
• 48:21
  know, is this, do we know, has this been verified?
• 48:24
  Did he admit to this or has this been just
• 48:26
  doctored? Well, trust but verify. I'm pretty sure it was
• 48:33
  real. You can't know for sure. I can't know for
• 48:36
  sure because I wasn't watching it, so I do not
• 48:38
  know. Okay, well, if it was real, he's Mike. this
• 48:44
  this is this is the whole point first the clip
• 48:48
  of fart gates we have chris matthews msnbc interviewing eric
• 48:52
  swalwell uh who just fresh from the uh from the
• 48:55
  hearing In the halls of Congress. So far, it's uncontradicted
• 49:02
  that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians
• 49:05
  to help him cheat an election. So, yes, the analysis
• 49:11
  that you started is spot on. I'm just gonna assume
• 49:15
  it's real. This is very simple. This is Chris Williams.
• 49:21
  What's his name? Matthews. So he asks a question, they
• 49:26
  switch to Swalwell, he's sitting on a chair in a
• 49:29
  studio. let one rip here for a second. It bounces
• 49:35
  off the chair. That's why you could hear it. It
• 49:37
  was Matthews. Matthews dealt it. All right, here's the problem
• 49:43
  with that. Uh, Swalwell paused. Like he couldn't talk through
• 49:49
  the fart. No, no, no. He heard the fart and
• 49:52
  it scared him. It was a blast. He was like,
• 49:55
  what the hell did you just do? Someone's fart. Okay,
• 49:58
  I'm not going to buy that because...
• 50:00
  There's no real time here. There's always a lag, and
• 50:03
  the lag is long enough that he would have at
• 50:05
  least... No, no. I looked at that angle. They have
• 50:07
  a hardwired connection between the halls of Congress and the
• 50:10
  studios. There's almost zero lag. But it doesn't take away
• 50:16
  from the fact that there's no way you can get
• 50:18
  that direct sound from flatulence in the halls of Congress
• 50:23
  with just a boom mic or even with a lavalier.
• 50:26
  But in a studio against the backdrop of a chair.
• 50:31
  I mean, especially if it's a leather chair. Yeah, but
• 50:33
  he's going to... Okay, well, it's up for debate. But
• 50:37
  so far, it appears as though this event was not
• 50:41
  a fake. No, this is a real event. And they
• 50:43
  call old dudes like that an old fart for a
• 50:45
  reason. Come on. It's logical. Old fart. Why is it
• 50:50
  an old fart? Because old guys fart. He was Matthews.
• 50:54
  And I think it's shameful that he didn't at least
• 50:58
  tweet and let Swalwell off the hook. you Okay, and
• 51:06
  that's the fart gate. It didn't last long, but man,
• 51:08
  it was a nice break in the day, wasn't it?
• 51:11
  It was a break. It was a nice little break.
• 51:16
  What is the theory of fractals and what really is
• 51:18
  their importance? I can't tell you exactly. I can't explain
• 51:21
  the theory. I can kind of understand it before I
• 51:23
  can explain it. Okay. But it's essentially that everything is
• 51:27
  self-iterative in a way that all nature, and it really
• 51:32
  refers mostly to nature, it's self-iterative in a way that
• 51:35
  you can actually formulate a structure that is mathematically accurate.
• 51:41
  Because no one's ever been able to, there's all these
• 51:42
  things over time that they said, look, a mountainside, look
• 51:46
  at it, crumble down, say, you know, you can't, there's
• 51:49
  no math that can explain what you're looking at. Whereas
• 51:54
  mathematicians say you can explain everything with math. And fractal
• 51:59
  theory says, no, that's not true. You can explain that
• 52:01
  with math if you use fractal math. If you look
• 52:05
  at the way fractals work, you can explain, you can
• 52:08
  actually explain these natural phenomena, things in nature, like a
• 52:12
  mountain. with this modeling that this guy's developed. And what
• 52:19
  we think of as fractals in the computer business, or
• 52:22
  as Mandelbrot's little designs that he makes, where he takes
• 52:26
  one of these formulas, puts it in, and it just
• 52:28
  starts to iterate and makes this really funky looking thing.
• 52:30
  Yeah, that's a screensaver, you mean. Yes, that kind of
• 52:34
  thing. It's a screensaver. This whole theory is based on
• 52:37
  a screensaver, ladies and gentlemen. I just want you to
• 52:39
  know that. And you think in terms of fractals, for
• 52:47
  example, the reason, if you don't know this, that if
• 52:50
  you look at a cell phone, a mobile phone from
• 52:52
  a few years ago, it used to have an antenna.
• 52:54
  Some of them would come out. All the antennas now
• 52:56
  are fractal antennas, and they're inside the phone because you
• 52:59
  don't need an antenna when you have what essentially is
• 53:03
  a fractal antenna, which is a bunch of little things.
• 53:06
  Which comes down to the energy within the ether, which
• 53:11
  I'm sure is a fractal. these same fractal properties and
• 53:16
  that's how maybe we're all connected or how everything starts
• 53:19
  to come together as we start to understand all that
• 53:22
  wireless shit. I'm going to really be saddened when the
• 53:27
  new age people get a hold of this theory and
• 53:29
  they start to come up with their crackpot analysis. Hold
• 53:35
  on, but when technologists get a hold of it and
• 53:37
  start to really understand it, it could be very exciting.
• 53:40
  We could get some fantastic shit out of this. Well,
• 53:42
  that's how we got the fractal antenna. Right. That's exciting.
• 53:46
  We improved text messaging. That is a good job. Wait
• 53:50
  a minute. That should be another $800 billion on the
• 53:53
  bailout, the stimulus package. But to come up with a
• 53:57
  good three-sentence explanation of fractals, I think it'd be valuable.
• 54:01
  I'm sure there's one out there. I don't have it.
• 54:06
  Wait, I'm just recalling. Yes. Yes, it was around episode
• 54:11
  200. Okay. It was 202, as a matter of fact.
• 54:14
  Roy Pierce, $1,111.00. What? Yeah. Wow. He came in as
• 54:23
  an insta-knight. Yeah, I'll say. He asked listeners to watch
• 54:26
  the movie President's Analyst. It was thought to be satire
• 54:31
  45 years ago, but turned out to be mostly true.
• 54:34
  Wow. Who was in this movie? I vaguely remember. I
• 54:39
  think this was with the guy who used to play
• 54:42
  our man Flint. I'm guessing. Take a look. I'm taking
• 54:45
  a look right now. The President's Analyst, 1967, satirical. This
• 54:49
  is from the Book of Knowledge. satirical comedy written by
• 54:53
  Theodore Flicker, James Coburn. Okay, that's a real, yeah, that's
• 54:57
  a real actor. Uh, see, the film's elements of political
• 55:01
  satire, science fiction, resembles many of the spy spoofs that
• 55:04
  proliferated in the mid-60s in the wake of the James
• 55:07
  Bond phenomenon. Yeah, our man Flint. Wow, John, I'll give
• 55:11
  you, yeah, that's right. um okay the film's themes include
• 55:16
  modern ethics and privacy concerns specifically regarding the intrusion of
• 55:21
  the telecom system working with the u.s government into the
• 55:25
  private lives of the country's citizens oh my god this
• 55:29
  is so on my list yeah you have to watch
• 55:32
  i've seen it recently it is very fun and it's
• 55:34
  funny it's a funny movie uh although colburn gets on
• 55:38
  your nerves because he plays his character it's just a
• 55:41
  i don't know well it's also the actually the acting
• 55:44
  from the 60s. From the era. Yeah, that's a little
• 55:47
  much. Also, the sets are really bright and all the
• 55:49
  rest. Okay, cool. Anyway, good. That's our tip of the
• 55:52
  day. Now, let's look at some U.S. clampdown that's taking
• 55:56
  place. We got Twitter. Twitter kicked off the President of
• 55:59
  the United States is making sure you can't post anything
• 56:03
  about vaccines or about variants or anything really political or
• 56:08
  medical. It just kicked off. I don't have a Facebook
• 56:11
  account, but I think it's pretty much the same, what
• 56:14
  happened with Instagram. And there's really one place left that
• 56:20
  for some reason, you know, they can't control. It's becoming
• 56:23
  very, very annoying to those that control the speech. ProPublica
• 56:29
  journalist, I say that with emphasis, Lydia DePillis wrote quite
• 56:34
  an article about the evilness of podcasting. That's what you
• 56:37
  and I do. Yes, yes, podcasting. Because they can't control
• 56:41
  it. There is no social control. over what these damn
• 56:45
  podcasters are saying. And this is a problem. And Apple
• 56:50
  is not being cooperative. So how can it be that
• 56:53
  this kind of junk is allowed on Apple's podcast app,
• 56:57
  right? But not on Twitter, not on YouTube. What's the
• 56:59
  difference here? Yeah, well, in America, we have this policy
• 57:02
  where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules
• 57:04
  as to what content they will allow. What a crazy
• 57:08
  country. Can you believe that, John? We have these weird
• 57:11
  rules in America want to do and they're not like
• 57:16
  china where this woman clearly takes her cues from or
• 57:19
  that where the government tells everybody we got rules and
• 57:22
  regs yeah well in america we have this policy where
• 57:25
  we allow tech platforms to make their own rules as
• 57:27
  to what content they will allow and the thing with
• 57:30
  podcasts is that it's a little bit different in that
• 57:33
  a company like apple can say we just list podcasts
• 57:37
  that we essentially run a directory we don't host them
• 57:41
  so that content is actually housed somewhere else but we
• 57:44
  allow people to access it through our platform. So there's
• 57:48
  a little bit of a dodge that they do there.
• 57:50
  But they do have terms of service that says, here's
• 57:54
  what we will and won't allow. It's just very, very
• 57:56
  loose. And so a company like YouTube, which is Google,
• 58:00
  or Twitter has actually established pretty proactive policies in terms
• 58:06
  of election misinformation, which Apple just simply doesn't do at
• 58:09
  all. Apple is not doing it right. So, you know,
• 58:13
  they're trying to go after Apple. Very, very light touch.
• 58:17
  Because, you know, I actually like my iPhone. I don't
• 58:20
  want to piss anybody off. I might not get the
• 58:23
  new beta. Because that's how these a-holes think. But the
• 58:26
  worst part of this, the worst part of this woman
• 58:29
  is what comes next. And I'll just say this woman.
• 58:32
  I say with disdain. Well, let's back up again and
• 58:35
  give us who is this woman again? Lydia DePillis from
• 58:38
  ProPublica. Oh, ProPublica person. Yes. person. They get a lot
• 58:43
  of air time, the ProPublica people. It's just like a
• 58:46
  group of idealist journalists. You'll remember that David Korn launched
• 58:50
  the whole PP tape Russian collusion dossier on ProPublica. Okay.
• 58:57
  I think that did it. That summarizes everything. So of
• 59:01
  all the things that she's about to say... So we
• 59:05
  got another situation here where journalists are bitching and moaning
• 59:10
  about free speech. journalists that don't like WikiLeaks because it
• 59:16
  reveals too many secret documents, which they should be happy
• 59:19
  to see. Or they're the same ones as Slammin' Snowden
• 59:22
  or the same journalists. I'm thinking of Richard Engel in
• 59:25
  this case, who doesn't want to see the release CIA
• 59:28
  torture memo. These types of people. So ProPublica is anti,
• 59:33
  they're anti-journalists journalists. Nice. Good for them. She is advocating
• 59:38
  for shutting down speech that she doesn't agree with. That
• 59:41
  is her article and you know to say well Apple
• 59:45
  has a dodge here because they're just an index but
• 59:47
  they have times the service and I'm following all that
• 59:50
  but what blows me away is this journalist who I'm
• 59:53
  going to presume is a technology journalist what she says
• 59:56
  next is the biggest pile of horse crap
• 1:00:00
  in the world. There's obviously been so much discussion, particularly,
• 1:00:03
  I think you're seeing it on the conservative side, discussion
• 1:00:05
  about cancel culture, deplatforming, right? Where is free speech, etc.
• 1:00:09
  It seems like, as you report, it may just be
• 1:00:11
  a matter of time before there is a buildup of
• 1:00:14
  alternative streaming universes, ones that don't depend on these tech
• 1:00:18
  giants at all. How hard is that, though, to actually
• 1:00:21
  start happening, or how likely is it? Well, at the
• 1:00:23
  moment, it's very difficult. The landscape of tech platforms moment
• 1:00:30
  is pretty consolidated and that most people consume content through
• 1:00:36
  means that are supported by companies like Amazon through its
• 1:00:39
  Amazon Web Services product or through Apple through its iPhone
• 1:00:42
  or through Google through its browser. So in order to
• 1:00:45
  build up a tech ecosystem that is free of all
• 1:00:49
  those where you could broadcast whatever content you like, then
• 1:00:54
  it's the kind of infrastructure that doesn't really exist right
• 1:00:57
  now. Sites like Gab are really straining under the weight
• 1:01:00
  of new traffic that they're receiving. So this under-informed, over-socialized
• 1:01:05
  twat is telling us the infrastructure doesn't really exist to
• 1:01:09
  set up alternatives because, you know, you're really beholden to
• 1:01:12
  the App Store and Amazon Web Services. I challenge you
• 1:01:16
  to a debate, punk. This is nonsense. Look at us.
• 1:01:20
  We are literally doing it. There are at least five
• 1:01:23
  major video sources out there now. Thank you. One of
• 1:01:27
  which is noagendatube.com. Noagendatube, which I wouldn't put in the
• 1:01:32
  top five, but it's there. And then there's obviously the
• 1:01:35
  Federated and other chat systems. And then there's things like
• 1:01:38
  signals and telegrams. All these things are out there, which
• 1:01:42
  people are condemning them to. And how about podcastindex.org? which
• 1:01:46
  is talking about podcasting. And then the podcast index, by
• 1:01:49
  the way, which is your baby. You can toot your
• 1:01:51
  own horn, but as far as I'm concerned, I'll toot
• 1:01:54
  it. This is the alternative of alternatives that will prevent
• 1:01:57
  the future demise of podcasting. And it's something you recognized
• 1:02:02
  about a year or two ago, probably because of this
• 1:02:04
  show. Of course. And you decided to go ahead with
• 1:02:08
  this podcasting 2.0, which has taken off quite nicely and
• 1:02:12
  eventually will be absorbed into the great ecosystem. She's full
• 1:02:17
  of crap. Go podcasting! But I will say this. The
• 1:02:21
  pathetic thing is that she's got a voice and people
• 1:02:24
  are asking her. Why is she even around? Well, you
• 1:02:28
  know what? She is the new wave. This is the
• 1:02:31
  same type of person who was at the New York
• 1:02:33
  Times. So back to real news, by the way, I
• 1:02:37
  have a complaint. So I go to, I noticed that
• 1:02:42
  I didn't realize that this is an ongoing complaint. I
• 1:02:46
  noticed it the other day. So I'm at Monterey Foods
• 1:02:49
  buying vegetables, which is a green grocer, and it's a
• 1:02:53
  good one. And I'm in there. And, of course, it's
• 1:02:58
  in Berkeley, so it's like at a Berkeley style of
• 1:03:01
  customer. In other words, people that look like they're just
• 1:03:04
  about to die. Were any in the PETA? They're all
• 1:03:11
  in the PETA camp. Many of them, you know. So
• 1:03:14
  they're keeling over. They're holding on to their Zimmer frames.
• 1:03:19
  So that's just like a horrible group. We're going to
• 1:03:21
  get in so much trouble. Every once in a while
• 1:03:23
  I've seen some like a younger woman that maybe just
• 1:03:28
  moved into the area and she goes into Monterey Foods
• 1:03:31
  with her makeup on because she's going shopping and she
• 1:03:35
  feels obliged because maybe she's from the Midwest or Texas
• 1:03:38
  where she feels obliged to actually look presentable in public
• 1:03:42
  as opposed to wearing baggy ass crap and hair with
• 1:03:46
  gobs of goo like dog shit. kind of in it.
• 1:03:52
  I'm telling you, I'm just describing the scene so you
• 1:03:54
  can get a feeling for it. I'm with you. I'm
• 1:03:56
  smelling the dog shit. You see these women that come
• 1:04:00
  in, they're made up, and they walk in and they
• 1:04:02
  take one look around, they stop like they hit a
• 1:04:04
  brick wall right at the entrance. You see them, boom,
• 1:04:09
  they hit this brick wall and then they freeze and
• 1:04:11
  you see their eyes going back and forth and back
• 1:04:13
  and forth and they slowly walk backwards back into the
• 1:04:17
  parking lot. store i have seen it's like going into
• 1:04:21
  a gay bar it's like this isn't right just can
• 1:04:27
  i have my coat back there used to this happened
• 1:04:30
  we had a when i was in i think it
• 1:04:31
  was just uh in college or something we were floating
• 1:04:34
  around doing bar hopping and there used to be this
• 1:04:37
  place i realized it was a gay bar called mike's
• 1:04:40
  i think it was called mike's pool hall hall and
• 1:04:42
  it was in san francisco in the north beach area
• 1:04:44
  and it was like three or four of us we
• 1:04:46
  did that exact same thing we walked in and we
• 1:04:48
  just hit this brick wall. It was just like a
• 1:04:50
  whole, like 500 guys turned around and looked at you.
• 1:04:54
  It was like, what? Oh, oops. And then we slowly
• 1:04:59
  walked backwards. Okay. So I'm at the Monterey Foods. And
• 1:05:03
  I'm trying to, you know, check out. And there is,
• 1:05:07
  the line is held up. Because apparently there was some
• 1:05:12
  kind of a middle-aged gray-haired frumpy woman that was grousing
• 1:05:18
  because she had brought her canvas bags and they had
• 1:05:22
  mistakenly packed the vegetables into a sack of normal paper.
• 1:05:28
  Oh, no, the horrors of it. It was, it was.
• 1:05:33
  They had to stop the presses. They had to unpack
• 1:05:35
  the... Let me see your supervisor! They had to unpack
• 1:05:39
  the paper bag as they repacked it into her beat-up
• 1:05:44
  old dirty canvas bags that looked like they hadn't been
• 1:05:47
  washed for like a year at least. And, you know,
• 1:05:51
  so I realized that there's this trend. It's actually died
• 1:05:54
  off a little bit. But there was a trend for
• 1:05:56
  a while where it was cool to have a canvas
• 1:05:59
  bag that you'd drag to the store. And I know
• 1:06:03
  in Europe this is always promoted because they charge you
• 1:06:05
  like a nickel for the bags there. Yeah, they do
• 1:06:07
  it at St. Thanks, Barry. Yeah, well, all throughout France,
• 1:06:11
  I know you have to pay for the bag. It's
• 1:06:13
  kind of like, it's very confusing to people who aren't
• 1:06:15
  used to paying for a bag that costs like 0.001
• 1:06:21
  cents with a plastic. Oh, yeah. But, okay, whatever. Anyway,
• 1:06:25
  so, but there was this trend for a while, and
• 1:06:28
  people were having, and so everyone had these, you know,
• 1:06:30
  these grimy old canvas bags, which didn't, you know, they
• 1:06:34
  didn't really hold that much, as a matter of fact.
• 1:06:37
  And, I don't know, it was just galling to me.
• 1:06:39
  having to sit there while she was making all these
• 1:06:42
  demands on the staff. Imagine the base. My favorite debater
• 1:06:47
  that I saved her clips for last. Amy Klobuchar. Yes.
• 1:06:50
  I thought she was fantastic. I love Amy Klobuchar. Yeah,
• 1:06:55
  as a comedian. Let me tell you, if I had
• 1:06:59
  to choose from any person on that stage, I'd choose
• 1:07:03
  her. Well, let's listen to a couple of things I
• 1:07:05
  got from her. For one thing, I've got a pretty
• 1:07:07
  good ISO. It's even called a pretty good ISO. I
• 1:07:10
  think that sounds pretty good. No, that's our end of
• 1:07:16
  show right there. I'm putting it into the slot just
• 1:07:19
  in case. All right, here. You know, we like to
• 1:07:21
  talk about people dropping the T. Oh, yeah. This is
• 1:07:26
  an absolute beauty because I didn't know you could drop
• 1:07:29
  the T with this word. My Republican opponents have gotten
• 1:07:33
  out of politics for good. - Potence? Opponent. What was
• 1:07:39
  that? Let me just show it. She's trying to say
• 1:07:41
  opponent. My Republican opponent. Opponent. She's dropping a P. She's
• 1:07:48
  dropping a P-anity. Opponents. My Republican opponents have gotten out
• 1:07:53
  of politics for good. Yeah, under stress. People do make
• 1:07:58
  mistakes. Oh, she was shaking like a leaf, as usual.
• 1:08:02
  No, it wasn't as bad as it has been in
• 1:08:04
  the past. It wasn't as bad as the first debate,
• 1:08:07
  but it was bad considering how many she's done of
• 1:08:09
  these. She's nervous sounding. As an eye twitcher and a
• 1:08:14
  Tourette's sufferer, it doesn't bother me. I think it makes
• 1:08:17
  her look interesting. I think worse than that is still
• 1:08:20
  the schoolboy thing where Bernie's holding his hand up for
• 1:08:23
  the teacher to call on him, like throughout the entire...
• 1:08:25
  entire debate. Call on me, teacher. And then Tom Steyer,
• 1:08:30
  by the way, when he talks, first of all, he
• 1:08:33
  has a fake smile at the beginning because I guess
• 1:08:36
  somebody told him, hey, Tom, smile a little bit. So
• 1:08:38
  he puts on this fake, stupid looking smile and then
• 1:08:41
  he goes right back into his dour look and then
• 1:08:44
  he rolls his head in a circle as he talks.
• 1:08:48
  And it's clockwise and he's rolling his head in a
• 1:08:52
  circle as he talks and I'm watching him. Whoa. Here's
• 1:08:55
  Amy talking about her one of her friends whose name
• 1:08:58
  she can't remember. This is the big gaffe. What what
• 1:09:01
  do you say to people who who say that a
• 1:09:03
  woman can't win this election? I hear that when you
• 1:09:06
  look at the facts. Michigan has a woman governor right
• 1:09:10
  now and she beat a Republican, Gretchen Whitmer. Kansas has
• 1:09:14
  a woman governor right now and she beat Chris Kobach.
• 1:09:17
  And her name is I'm very proud to know her
• 1:09:21
  and her name is Governor Kelly. Thank you. Yes! Her
• 1:09:28
  name is... But keep your eye on her! She's got
• 1:09:34
  something going. And by the way, she also has her
• 1:09:38
  lipstick on like it's a big square block of lipstick.
• 1:09:42
  So she looks like a kind of a Nick Parks
• 1:09:44
  character, you know, Wallace and Gromit. It's just this funny
• 1:09:48
  look. Well, there you go. Cheap Greek wine. As long
• 1:09:54
  as it doesn't, you know, the wine that used to
• 1:09:56
  be. popular or not.
• 1:10:00
  It was never really popular, it was just kind of
• 1:10:01
  a curiosity that the Greeks supposedly drank, and even though
• 1:10:05
  I've never run into a Greek that liked this stuff,
• 1:10:07
  which is Retsina. What's it called? Retsina. Retsina? And I,
• 1:10:12
  last time I was in Greece, I always make sure
• 1:10:14
  to have a glass of the best Retsina I can
• 1:10:16
  find, which is like drinking, I don't know what it
• 1:10:20
  is. It's the worst product in the world. Essentially what
• 1:10:22
  it is, is some sort of a wine that harkens
• 1:10:27
  back to the Greco-Roman times when they, to seal the
• 1:10:30
  jugs of wine, they used a tree resin. as a
• 1:10:35
  cork and so the tree resin or they put a
• 1:10:37
  piece of block of wood in there and put some
• 1:10:39
  resin but there's resin involved and the resin would always
• 1:10:43
  leach into the wine and make it taste like tree
• 1:10:45
  resin so you was like drinking a little bit like
• 1:10:48
  drinking turpentine and it's just really one of the most
• 1:10:51
  gosh awful things in the world uh and that's really
• 1:10:54
  what cheap greek wine is okay just a little little
• 1:10:59
  lecture for the people they always want more wine information
• 1:11:01
  yeah Now there's your wine tip of the day. Look
• 1:11:05
  for some Razzina. They do bring it in the United
• 1:11:06
  States. You can buy it at a store. It's very
• 1:11:09
  inexpensive. It's like five bucks a bottle, maybe six. And
• 1:11:12
  you can try it. Well, it sounds like something not
• 1:11:14
  to try, actually. Well, you should have it once in
• 1:11:17
  your life. It's so obvious now. This is a complete
• 1:11:21
  destabilization of Europe, and we're going to squash them like
• 1:11:24
  a bug, like a bug under a bomb. Well, ask
• 1:11:27
  the EU, as our friend Newland said. Oh, goodness. this
• 1:11:33
  clip and we listen to FDEU. We start to understand
• 1:11:38
  what might actually be going on. Not everyone understands this
• 1:11:47
  because they weren't around when we played this the first
• 1:11:49
  time in 2014. This is when the U.S. was installing
• 1:11:54
  a new government into Ukraine and Victoria Nuland was caught
• 1:11:58
  with, well, was recorded at high quality. Very high quality
• 1:12:03
  by the Russians, obviously. On a phone call where she
• 1:12:06
  was talking to her compatriot who I think was, was
• 1:12:09
  he the ambassador at the time? I'm not sure, ambassador.
• 1:12:12
  Maybe. But they were discussing, you know, oh, who we
• 1:12:14
  got to put in? Now, Klitsch is no good. We
• 1:12:16
  got to have that guy in. Yeah, we can have
• 1:12:18
  Biden come out here and bless the deal. He'll kiss
• 1:12:20
  the babies. It'll all be good, Biden. Biden. And then
• 1:12:24
  it was like, well, you know, they're not going to
• 1:12:26
  like what we're doing, the EU. And then she just
• 1:12:28
  said that. Fuck the EU. And there you have it.
• 1:12:31
  With great disdain. Yes. Should we play that clip again?
• 1:12:35
  What do you think? I think we're in play. We're
• 1:12:39
  in play. The Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron
• 1:12:44
  here, especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister.
• 1:12:48
  And you've seen some of my notes on the troubles
• 1:12:51
  in the marriage right now. So we're trying to get
• 1:12:53
  a read really fast on where he is. Listen to
• 1:12:55
  these terms they use. We're in play. Yeah, like we
• 1:12:59
  got a little trouble here on the marriage because they're
• 1:13:01
  just like shotgun wedding. We were fusing everything together, handing
• 1:13:06
  out cookies. This stuff. But I think your argument to
• 1:13:09
  him, which you'll need to make, I think that's the
• 1:13:11
  next phone call we want to set up, is exactly
• 1:13:14
  the one you made to Yachts. That's Yachts and Yuck,
• 1:13:17
  who later did become prime minister for a moment. Put
• 1:13:20
  him on the spot on where he fits in this
• 1:13:22
  scenario. And I'm very glad he said what he said
• 1:13:25
  in response. We should also mention that Klitschko is currently
• 1:13:29
  the mayor. The mayor of Kiev. Kiev. Good. So I
• 1:13:35
  don't think Klitsch should go into the government. I don't
• 1:13:36
  think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah, so I just make it not happen. That's how
• 1:13:41
  democratically elected countries work. Victoria Nuland says, I don't think
• 1:13:45
  he should go in, and he doesn't. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:13:51
  I guess. He's not agreeing, by the way. You think...
• 1:13:57
  In terms of him not going into the government, just
• 1:13:59
  let him sort of stay out and do his political
• 1:14:01
  homework and stuff. I'm just thinking... In terms of sort
• 1:14:05
  of the process moving ahead, we want to keep the
• 1:14:08
  moderate Democrats together. The problem is going to be Tony
• 1:14:11
  Bok and his guys. No Tony Bok. And, you know,
• 1:14:13
  I'm sure that's part of what Yanukovych is calculating on
• 1:14:15
  all of this. Yanukovych was, was that the guy they
• 1:14:19
  were putting in or was the guy was going out?
• 1:14:22
  I can't remember where Yanukovych was. I think it was
• 1:14:23
  the guy going out. I think it was going out.
• 1:14:27
  I think Yates is the guy who's got the economic
• 1:14:30
  experience, the governing experience. He's the guy, you know, what
• 1:14:33
  he needs is Cleach and Tony Book on the outside.
• 1:14:36
  He needs to be talking to them four times a
• 1:14:38
  week. Yeah, she's now actually not just putting people into
• 1:14:42
  government, but arranging their agenda. Yeah, doing their calendar for
• 1:14:48
  them. Doing their calendar. Yeah, this is the democratic country
• 1:14:53
  that we're saving for democracy. Democracy. I just think Cleach
• 1:14:59
  going in, he's going to be at that level working
• 1:15:02
  for Yatsenyuk. It's just not going to work. No, not
• 1:15:04
  going to work. No, I agree. What do you think,
• 1:15:07
  John? Not going to work. Not going to work. Let
• 1:15:11
  him just do his political homework on the outside. Good.
• 1:15:14
  Would you want us to try to set up a
• 1:15:15
  call with him as the next step? My understanding from
• 1:15:19
  that call, but you tell me, was that the big
• 1:15:22
  three were going into their own meeting and that Yachts
• 1:15:24
  was going to offer in that context a three-plus-one conversation
• 1:15:29
  or three-plus-two with you. Is that not how you understood
• 1:15:32
  it? No, I think that's what he proposed. But I
• 1:15:35
  think just knowing the dynamic that's been with them where
• 1:15:39
  Klitschko has been the top dog, he's going to take
• 1:15:41
  a while to show up for whatever meeting they've got,
• 1:15:43
  and he's probably talking to his guys at this point.
• 1:15:45
  So I think you reaching out directly to him helps.
• 1:15:48
  with the personality management among the three. This is literally
• 1:15:52
  how we used to pitch like, you know, Gillette. All
• 1:15:55
  right, you talk to your guy and I'll talk to
• 1:15:57
  my guy and you work him from the back end
• 1:15:59
  and we'll get the big three or maybe three plus
• 1:16:01
  two. We'll get him into the meeting. We'll pitch him
• 1:16:04
  with the PowerPoint and we'll be good to go. And
• 1:16:06
  it gives you also a chance to move fast on
• 1:16:09
  all this stuff and put us behind it before they
• 1:16:12
  all sit down and he... Oh yeah, let's move fast
• 1:16:14
  before they figure out how we've hoodwinked them. He doesn't
• 1:16:18
  like it. This is good to review. I can see
• 1:16:21
  there's trolls who have never heard this recording. Well, this
• 1:16:24
  is in 2014, so it's a bit, it's like nine
• 1:16:28
  years ago. It is. Okay, good. I'm happy. Why don't
• 1:16:32
  you reach out to him and see if he wants
• 1:16:33
  to talk before or after? All right. How do we
• 1:16:36
  put a bulb on this, Vicki? How do we wrap
• 1:16:38
  this all up? Okay, we'll do. Thanks. Okay, I've now
• 1:16:41
  written one more wrinkle for you, Jeff. Oh, wrinkle, wrinkle.
• 1:16:44
  Stand by, Jeff. I got a wrinkle. Yeah. I can't
• 1:16:48
  remember if I told you this or if I only
• 1:16:49
  told Washington this. Yeah, because you're not in the loop
• 1:16:52
  on everything, Jeff, just so you know. When I talked
• 1:16:55
  to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name
• 1:16:58
  for the UN guy, Robert Seri. Did I write you
• 1:17:00
  that this morning? Yeah, I saw that. He's now gotten
• 1:17:04
  both Seri and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Seri could
• 1:17:08
  come in Monday or Tuesday. Oh, that's right. They had
• 1:17:10
  Ban Ki-moon in on the deal. The Secretary General of
• 1:17:13
  the UN to, you know, we'll bless the deal. Ban
• 1:17:16
  Ki-moon will come in. That guy's half dead anyway. He
• 1:17:18
  just, they didn't even speak English. Just let him mumble.
• 1:17:21
  Okay. So that would be great, I think, to help
• 1:17:25
  glue this thing and have the UN help glue it.
• 1:17:27
  Yeah, have the UN help glue it because that's what's
• 1:17:30
  good. Glue. Glue it. And, you know, fuck the EU.
• 1:17:33
  Yeah. There it is. And I think we've got to
• 1:17:36
  do something to make it stick together. Exactly. Let's just
• 1:17:39
  go back for a second. So she's saying we'll have
• 1:17:42
  the UN glue it because clearly the European Union is
• 1:17:48
  like, what are you guys doing in our backyard? This
• 1:17:50
  is not so cool. So we're going to have this.
• 1:17:53
  thing glued for the whole world and fuck you fuck
• 1:17:56
  you eu if i only told washington this that when
• 1:17:59
  i talked to jeff feltman wait wait when she said
• 1:18:03
  fuck the eu i think she was specifically saying we're
• 1:18:08
  going to have the UN do it and fuck the
• 1:18:09
  EU meaning we're skipping them and anything that they have
• 1:18:14
  to say about it. Yeah, because the UN greater than
• 1:18:18
  sign EU. Your No Agenda show has receipts, people. You
• 1:18:24
  know, this is so scandalous and it was played up
• 1:18:28
  zero by the media. Zero? Well, she used an expletive
• 1:18:32
  on a call, you know, so we can't play the
• 1:18:34
  expletive because she said a bad word. It's not about
• 1:18:37
  that, people. Listen to what they're doing. What they did,
• 1:18:41
  they did it. I did catch a, um... I can't
• 1:18:47
  say it's native. I think it is native advertising for
• 1:18:49
  credit cards. But it also has all these sub, there's
• 1:18:52
  a lot of subtext involved. Again, NBC. And this is
• 1:18:55
  about just kind of a rundown of the benefits of
• 1:18:58
  credit card usage. I thought it was, this will be
• 1:19:01
  my Dvorak tip of the day because there's a lot
• 1:19:04
  of good information in here. But as I, I've had
• 1:19:06
  mixed feelings about it running because I believed it was
• 1:19:08
  a native ad to begin with. And then I don't
• 1:19:11
  know what the purpose was. And it was also kind
• 1:19:13
  of promoting the cashless society, which I don't like. I
• 1:19:17
  thought there was a lot of good information in this
• 1:19:20
  particular native ad on NBC, which I didn't realize they
• 1:19:24
  did. All right, everybody, stand by. Right after this clip,
• 1:19:27
  it will be time for Dvorak's Tip of the Day.
• 1:19:32
  This is the tip of the day. Here's the tip
• 1:19:35
  of the day. What you might call the hidden power
• 1:19:38
  of plastic. Perks and benefits a lot of credit card
• 1:19:41
  holders don't even know they have. Ways to get refunds,
• 1:19:44
  get services without any charges, saving you money in the
• 1:19:47
  process. NBC's JoLynn Kent explains. As you use your credit
• 1:19:53
  card this holiday season, you should know it may have
• 1:19:56
  hidden benefits that can save you big money in a
• 1:19:58
  pinch.
• 1:20:00
  Scared. I didn't know what to do. When Lauren Bergman's
• 1:20:02
  car broke down, she called the number on the back
• 1:20:04
  of her American Express card as a last resort. The
• 1:20:07
  company sent a tow truck free of charge. I never
• 1:20:10
  in a million years would have imagined that my credit
• 1:20:12
  card could do all the things that it could do
• 1:20:14
  and that they would be my saving grace. And when
• 1:20:17
  Bergman dropped and shattered her iPhone after her Apple warranty
• 1:20:20
  was up, her card gave her a 100% refund. Many
• 1:20:24
  popular credit cards offer these kinds of little-known benefits. 41%
• 1:20:30
  offer extended warranties. 57% provide purchase protection, like reimbursing you
• 1:20:35
  for items that are lost, stolen, or damaged. 47% give
• 1:20:39
  price protection, refunding the difference if the price drops on
• 1:20:43
  an item within four months after purchase. And 26% guarantee
• 1:20:47
  returns, even when stores don't. You could be missing out
• 1:20:51
  on hundreds of dollars a year in extra benefits from
• 1:20:54
  your credit card company. Everything from roadside assistance to paying
• 1:20:58
  for your hotel flight due to weather-related travel concerns. But
• 1:21:03
  they don't cover everything. They usually exclude cars, jewelry, medical
• 1:21:07
  equipment, and computer software. At the end of the day,
• 1:21:09
  you never know when it could really help you out.
• 1:21:11
  Experts say call or check online to discover the perks
• 1:21:14
  that may be hiding in plain sight. Jolene Kent, NBC
• 1:21:18
  News, New York. Up next tonight... So, that's the tip.
• 1:21:23
  I think it was a tip, and I remember that
• 1:21:25
  I think American Express, depending on the card you have,
• 1:21:28
  would actually cover your extra insurance that you could pay
• 1:21:31
  for a rental, car rental. By the way, this also
• 1:21:35
  incorporated fake news, NBC's version of fake news, because that
• 1:21:40
  woman who was super scared and she realized she gets
• 1:21:44
  a free tow. She could call a tow truck herself,
• 1:21:46
  but she gets a free tow from American Express. They
• 1:21:49
  showed her on the phone in her car. They showed
• 1:21:51
  the tow truck coming in. And then they showed her
• 1:21:54
  happy as a clam as the tow truck took her
• 1:21:57
  car off. Yeah, I would say that's native ad for
• 1:21:59
  sure. It was a native ad and that was fake
• 1:22:02
  news. There was no way that this woman had a
• 1:22:04
  camera crew with her when her car broke down and
• 1:22:06
  she was so super scared. So what was that? That
• 1:22:09
  was a reenactment. It did not say reenactment at the
• 1:22:13
  bottom of the screen. They should just use one of
• 1:22:15
  our jingles. Which one? And you choose which one you
• 1:22:19
  want. We got tons of them. Fake news? We got
• 1:22:24
  tons of fake news. We got anything you want. FAKE
• 1:22:29
  ME Alright everybody! It's got big news on it. Anyway,
• 1:22:37
  I just thought I'd throw that out there as a
• 1:22:39
  tip. More importantly. You bought a pig? Oh, yeah, we
• 1:22:45
  had a, well, I've gotten, yeah, we bought a pig
• 1:22:48
  to eat. Yeah, I'd like to hear the story about
• 1:22:52
  the pig you bought to eat. Did you and Michael
• 1:22:54
  Butler bought a pig? We split a pig, yeah. You
• 1:22:56
  split a pig. So how does this process go? Where
• 1:22:59
  do you, do you go to the pig market, the
• 1:23:00
  pig store? No, no, we bought this from Future Farmers
• 1:23:02
  of America auction at the Alameda County Fair. Do they
• 1:23:05
  have a website? Do you do this online or you
• 1:23:07
  go there? No, no, you have to go to the
• 1:23:09
  auction. And you see the pig and you go like,
• 1:23:11
  you look tasty? Is that how it works? approach was
• 1:23:15
  low bid low ball every every pig that came up
• 1:23:18
  until one got through he didn't really want to buy
• 1:23:20
  the pig is what you're saying no no he wanted
• 1:23:22
  to buy the pig but he was real strict on
• 1:23:24
  what he's going to pay okay and even though it's
• 1:23:26
  like a tax write-off and there's a bunch of what
• 1:23:29
  wait a minute buying a pig is a tax write-off
• 1:23:31
  well if you buy a pig at an auction for
• 1:23:33
  future farmers of america or 4-h at a county fair
• 1:23:36
  and you pay one cent over the market price of
• 1:23:40
  hogs and then at that point which you will because
• 1:23:43
  these pigs are not you get to write off that
• 1:23:47
  money as a charitable contribution. Because the money goes to
• 1:23:49
  the kids who get to, you know, it helps them
• 1:23:53
  to college, to go to school. What kids? The kids
• 1:23:56
  who raise the pigs. You took a pig from a
• 1:23:59
  kid? Yeah, and apparently the kid was in tears. Oh,
• 1:24:03
  no. And Martina was there, Butler's daughter, and she says
• 1:24:06
  that she doesn't know if she can eat the pig
• 1:24:08
  named Rosie. Butler, on the other hand, got a picture
• 1:24:11
  with the pig. And so we got this. By the
• 1:24:13
  way, the pig is delicious. So, so, so Butler got
• 1:24:18
  it and the kid, apparently they all do this and
• 1:24:22
  you have to kind of, I guess, tolerate it. The
• 1:24:24
  kid, a little 11 year old girl, you know, she's
• 1:24:27
  in tears. It was her pet pig and you told,
• 1:24:31
  you took the pig and ate it. Yes. You're such
• 1:24:38
  a horrible man. You should go back and you should
• 1:24:41
  go back to the kid and say, here, you want
• 1:24:43
  some bacon from here? He apologized to her, but the
• 1:24:47
  pig was raised to be eaten, not to be hanging
• 1:24:49
  around the house. You're a mean old man. I wasn't
• 1:24:55
  there. You're a horrible man. It was Butler who was
• 1:24:57
  the mean old man. Hey, kid, your pig looks delicious.
• 1:25:01
  Butler wants a picture with the pig. He wants to
• 1:25:03
  know the name of the pig. So anyway, so we
• 1:25:06
  went to the butcher, a great butcher out in Manteca.
• 1:25:10
  Wait, can I ask you? I need to understand the
• 1:25:12
  process. point alive. Yes. So the pig is like, squee,
• 1:25:17
  squee, squee, squee, and you take the. So there's a
• 1:25:21
  kid crying over here. Yeah. There's Butler doing Facebook pictures
• 1:25:25
  with the pig. Yeah. And you're taking the pig to
• 1:25:27
  a great butcher. Oh, the butcher's fantastic. Okay. Yeah. Anyway,
• 1:25:34
  it's a good Portuguese butcher, and they actually make linguiça
• 1:25:38
  just at the shop. You're going to have to go
• 1:25:40
  there to get it. So anyway, yeah, so he bought
• 1:25:43
  a pig, and there was all sorts of processes. I'm
• 1:25:46
  going to write a little paper on this and sell
• 1:25:48
  it. Is he doing a meet-up in Yellowstone? That's what
• 1:25:51
  he wants to know. My wife has always been wanting
• 1:25:53
  to go and would love to meet him. She has
• 1:25:55
  a crush on him from the MTV days. I hope
• 1:25:59
  I don't disappoint in IRL. Well, actually, you look pretty
• 1:26:03
  much like you did. No, I don't. The hair is
• 1:26:05
  much shorter. Well, you don't have that ludicrous wig. It
• 1:26:09
  was not a wig, a-hole. It wasn't a wig. Look
• 1:26:13
  at your own hair. Just because it's thinning out... Be
• 1:26:17
  careful, man. Take a look at that hair. It was
• 1:26:20
  not a wig. This is ridiculous. Now you sound like
• 1:26:23
  every dickhead who says something about Donald Trump's hair. This
• 1:26:26
  is how stupid it is. Well, I've never said that.
• 1:26:28
  With that wig. Well, it looked like a wig to
• 1:26:30
  me. How about those glasses when you couldn't pull apart
• 1:26:33
  the stupid PC in the video, Dvorak? You're looking like
• 1:26:36
  Buggles. Those were the glasses that were avant-garde during that
• 1:26:40
  era. Avant-garde? How about avant-douche? Here's another big story. This
• 1:26:46
  is the one on conspiracies. Even apocalyptic. We all crave
• 1:26:50
  explanations for things we don't understand, so some of us
• 1:26:53
  fill in the blanks with conspiracy theories. We dug into
• 1:26:58
  that with Anna Merlin, author of Republic of Lies, American
• 1:27:02
  Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power. Hey, how
• 1:27:06
  come we weren't interviewed? What the hell is that? There's
• 1:27:08
  a whole book. American Conspiracy Theorists. Did you get a
• 1:27:10
  call? Did you get an email? Memo? Nothing? conspiracy theories
• 1:27:15
  went from fringe sites, some of them actual disinformation sites,
• 1:27:20
  to eventually places like Fox News and that's sort of
• 1:27:24
  where they stopped. And now they have another stop which
• 1:27:26
  is they go from Fox News to the president or
• 1:27:30
  from fringe sites like InfoWars straight to the president. Again,
• 1:27:33
  again, again we're being snubbed. Hello, hello, crackpot here. I'd
• 1:27:38
  like my props. And this problem continues to get worse
• 1:27:42
  and worse. psychological extension of all of this Oh, this
• 1:27:50
  is so good, John. What do you think is really
• 1:27:55
  happening in the world when it comes from Infowars straight
• 1:27:59
  to the president? Out of control tinfoil hattery. So one
• 1:28:04
  thesis is that especially state-backed disinformation sources like the ones
• 1:28:09
  we've seen in Russia, like the Internet Research Agency, that
• 1:28:13
  one of their goals is to make the information ecosystem
• 1:28:17
  so chaotic and so unstable and so unrecognizable reliable that
• 1:28:20
  people start believing that the actual objective truth is not
• 1:28:25
  knowable and that they should stop looking for it. Oh,
• 1:28:28
  success. Wow. Do you believe this? So conspiracies, by the
• 1:28:33
  way, only right wing. There's never been a left wing
• 1:28:35
  conspiracy. They're all right wing. Wait, stop. Clip of the
• 1:28:39
  day for that one. Just definitely clip of the day.
• 1:28:42
  Clip of the day. And Chiep talks through this whole
• 1:28:47
  thing. And it all culminated in Fox News. That's right.
• 1:28:51
  And the other route is from Infowars direct to the
• 1:28:54
  president. Alex Jones, hotline to Trump. Hey, listen up. Wait
• 1:28:59
  until you hear my update on Seth Rich. Maybe we
• 1:29:01
  can get in next year's retrospective. Alright, then let me

  is, 2015, many of the Beaujolais experts believe that 2015
• 1:32:37
  Beaujolais are the best since the 1940s. And I have
• 1:32:42
  had expensive ones. I've had cheap ones. Every 2015 Beaujolais

• 1:33:00
  tip. tip of the day tip of the day we
• 1:33:03
  always have a tip on this show you always learn
• 1:33:05
  something And I would like to remind everybody, today is
• 1:33:09
  day number 666 of our 14 days to flatten the
• 1:33:14
  curve. Damn it, I screwed it up. You had it.
• 1:33:16
  But it is day 666. That figures. So this has
• 1:33:20
  got to be one of those big ones. And on
• 1:33:22
  this very important day. It's a devilish scam. We receive
• 1:33:26
  the following headline, which just made my day. There is
• 1:33:29
  no evidence of pandemic mass formation psychosis, according to Reuters
• 1:33:34
  and the Associated Press. They would know. you What the
• 1:33:40
  hell? What is going on? Why would they? That's actually,
• 1:33:43
  by the way, for them to say that is a
• 1:33:46
  sign that it exists. It has to be. It has
• 1:33:50
  to be. The full quote, mass formation psychosis is not
• 1:33:54
  an academic... Who wrote this? There is no such thing
• 1:33:57
  as the Associated Press saying anything. Okay. Someone at the
• 1:34:00
  Associated Press said it on behalf of the Associated Press?
• 1:34:04
  Yes. Was it approved by the board of directors? What's
• 1:34:07
  the deal? Well, I believe so, seeing as, well, it's
• 1:34:11
  Reuters and the Associated Press, and we know that there's
• 1:34:14
  some Pfizer folks over at Reuters. They've both independently reported
• 1:34:19
  that. But this was a, as you point out, they
• 1:34:23
  pulled it together. The full headline is, Mass formation psychosis
• 1:34:26
  is not an academic term recognized in the field of
• 1:34:30
  psychology, nor is there evidence of any such phenomenon occurring
• 1:34:34
  during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple experts in crowd psychology have
• 1:34:39
  told Reuters and the Associated Press. So that's how they
• 1:34:42
  do it. And then the AP fact check. Mass formation
• 1:34:46
  psychosis, an unfounded theory spreading online, suggests millions of people
• 1:34:50
  have been hypnotized into believing mainstream ideas to combat COVID-19.
• 1:34:55
  Psychology experts say the concept is not supported by evidence.
• 1:35:00
  See, that's a little different. So they're not discrediting the
• 1:35:04
  theory. They're saying there's no, this is, by the way,
• 1:35:07
  this is one of your favorite ways of doing it.
• 1:35:09
  There's no evidence of. There's no evidence that we would
• 1:35:12
  like the mouse. Hey, I wasn't going to say that.
• 1:35:16
  That's what it refers to. Yeah, but there's no evidence.
• 1:35:20
  And there was no evidence, by the way. Of the
• 1:35:22
  mouse? Yeah, it just came out. How's there going to
• 1:35:25
  be any evidence? It's a trick. I see this on
• 1:35:32
  the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it
• 1:35:34
  will result in fights breaking out. Because it's just so
• 1:35:37
  annoying to watch. Guy takes his bag of peanuts and
• 1:35:40
  he throws a pile of them into his palm of
• 1:35:44
  his hand and then he makes a fist. around the
• 1:35:48
  nuts and then he shakes his fist to try to
• 1:35:51
  bring a nut to the little hole STOP Stop! And
• 1:35:56
  then he throws a nut in his mouth from his
• 1:35:59
  fist. Then he does it again. He shakes and throws
• 1:36:01
  and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to
• 1:36:05
  watch. Oh, my gosh. It just needed porn music. Your
• 1:36:08
  description is fabulous. I've got to produce that. There is
• 1:36:12
  that part of it. You can look at all these
• 1:36:14
  things as obscene, but that's exactly what you see. This
• 1:36:18
  guy shaking his fist and popping a peanut. It's nasty.
• 1:36:22
  It's nasty. It's very nasty. I agree. It's nasty. are
• 1:36:26
  flying we look at each other i'm like i'm gonna
• 1:36:28
  do it i'm gonna fist him I'm fisting. You fisted.
• 1:36:32
  I'm fisting. You know, the Shantytown thing did come up
• 1:36:36
  in the conversation. I'm of the opinion that... You're just
• 1:36:41
  going to have to bite the bullet in these towns,
• 1:36:43
  these liberal towns, and let a shanty town crop up.
• 1:36:50
  It goes on in South America. I don't like your
• 1:36:54
  idea. I know you don't. Nobody does. But it's the
• 1:36:58
  most realistic thing you can do. Let's be honest about
• 1:37:00
  it. But you have shanty towns in multiple cities in
• 1:37:03
  California, and it hasn't produced any... Where? There's no real
• 1:37:08
  true shanty town. Every street corner! No, that's not a
• 1:37:12
  shanty town. Well, okay. I mean, how many... That is
• 1:37:16
  just a bunch of people hanging around and, you know,
• 1:37:18
  hanging out with tents. Yeah. No, no. Okay. I'm not
• 1:37:21
  talking about camping, which is what they call it now.
• 1:37:25
  camping yeah not homeless you're just camping oh yeah just
• 1:37:29
  people camping yeah no I'm talking about you get a
• 1:37:33
  couple of acres you put some acres together in an
• 1:37:35
  area that's really some places you can get water to
• 1:37:39
  usually a water truck that would work bring it in
• 1:37:44
  once in a while and you never have their own
• 1:37:45
  buckets and let that let you build little lean twos
• 1:37:50
  hmm Well. To have its own government. It's like in
• 1:37:57
  Brazil in the favelas. They have their own governments. Yeah,
• 1:38:00
  but that's my point is the favelas are a huge
• 1:38:03
  issue. Yeah. Well, so would shantytowns. But this is, I
• 1:38:07
  don't see any other solution. Yeah, but. They can't seem
• 1:38:10
  to address the problem correctly. So you might as well
• 1:38:12
  just let it fall into third world style. Well. It
• 1:38:15
  works outside of Africa. All of these little towns in
• 1:38:19
  Africa, there's little shantytowns outside the cities. Mazadeo, South America.
• 1:38:23
  There used to be, Romani encampments all over Europe and,
• 1:38:28
  you know, similar to a shantytown, they move. I mean,
• 1:38:33
  you can't do anything about it because they're not doing
• 1:38:35
  anything about it. Well, it go to a fallback position.
• 1:38:40
  So what you're saying is designate an area where the
• 1:38:43
  shanty town can prosper. You make it sound like it's
• 1:38:50
  a joke. No, no. That's exactly what you're saying. A
• 1:38:55
  designated place. This is not your idea alone. People are
• 1:38:59
  saying, hey, make a designated camping ground. Yeah, well, it
• 1:39:02
  should be a shantytown. A camping ground is no good.
• 1:39:05
  Those tents are no good. You want, you know, you
• 1:39:07
  want a shantytown. You want the kind of thing that
• 1:39:09
  people can go and do reports about. Oh, look at
• 1:39:12
  these people. They're living like horrible. And then they show
• 1:39:15
  that. And there's a open sewer. You want an open.
• 1:39:18
  OK, you could have to design these things. Scott Adams
• 1:39:20
  has got something like this, but he's more, you know,
• 1:39:23
  it's not going to be like my thinking. You want
• 1:39:25
  an open sewer so you can be aghast at the
• 1:39:29
  open sewer and the turd going down the sewer. You
• 1:39:31
  know, it's just open. You want kids that are half
• 1:39:35
  naked. wandering around you all dirty you know sucking their
• 1:39:38
  thumbs barefoot barefoot barefoot playing with a rusty can Lots
• 1:39:48
  of dogs barking at everything. We had a quasi shantytown
• 1:39:55
  here in the East Bay over on the bulb.

  An old ex-garbage dump that's over by Golden Gate Fields
• 1:40:05
  in Albany. There was this big area that was in
• 1:40:09
  the very far reaches of this. It's like a peninsula
• 1:40:12
  that is built of garbage dumps from the 20s and
• 1:40:15
  30s. So it's green now, and they've got trees, and
• 1:40:17
  everything's growing on it. But there was a huge shantytown
• 1:40:20
  out there. It was a genuine one. You couldn't even
• 1:40:23
  go out to it because there's too many pit bulls
• 1:40:26
  guarding the place. But it was a shantytown, and they
• 1:40:29
  let it go for years and years. And they finally
• 1:40:31
  went in there in the middle of the night and
• 1:40:32
  tore it down. Well, go back to what else we
• 1:40:34
  need in the shanty town. I was kind of enjoying
• 1:40:36
  it. We were at Barefoot Children playing with the rust.
• 1:40:39
  Barefoot Children, open sewers, a lot of lean-to's. Lean-to's, yes,
• 1:40:44
  yes, very good. Leftover, you know, that's the kind of
• 1:40:47
  stuff that you make for kind of a galvanized corrugated
• 1:40:51
  steel. Yes, very good. Chunks of that and corrugated fiberglass
• 1:40:55
  that's just got this little curvy thing and then it's
• 1:40:58
  pounded in. Boat trailer with half a boat on it?
• 1:41:03
  Oh, there's definitely a bunch of boat trailers with half
• 1:41:05
  a boat. People living in the boats. Open fires, burn
• 1:41:09
  barrels everywhere. Especially in the winter. I'm the dentist that
• 1:41:14
  took the heat for suggesting oral cancer is on the
• 1:41:16
  rise. Horrible and from HPV virus and oral sex. This
• 1:41:20
  is a letter we didn't read. I don't remember this.
• 1:41:24
  I'm done stewing. I would like to congratulate both of
• 1:41:27
  you for the thousand shows. Okay, it would be good
• 1:41:29
  to even after I read this. I've learned a lot
• 1:41:32
  and laughed a lot. Thanks. I read John's one-page editorials
• 1:41:34
  in PC Magazine going back to my days in college.
• 1:41:37
  I saw the TV show and the Tech Grouch, all
• 1:41:39
  great stuff. Oh, Tech Grouch. You and two other people
• 1:41:42
  watched it. grouch when i heard he was on a
• 1:41:45
  podcast and jerry pernell was there too i had to
• 1:41:47
  listen to leo guy made when he's kind of complaining
• 1:41:50
  here about leo uh when then i found out about
• 1:41:52
  noah jenna when mtv started i was studying physics i
• 1:41:56
  would put it on the back as background music and
• 1:41:58
  thought who would ever want to watch music videos then
• 1:42:02
  one day i saw the video by robert palmer simply
• 1:42:06
  irresistible simply irresistible. So there was this guy as a
• 1:42:12
  sidekick with J.D., Adam Curry. Never heard of him, but
• 1:42:16
  listening to him was interesting. I miss his treaties on
• 1:42:20
  aliens on Earth and moon bases. Those shape-shifting Jews are
• 1:42:24
  space-goers, too. Being Jewish myself, I can attest to it.
• 1:42:29
  There it is. The Re-Sign and Shape-Shifter. Welcome! As the
• 1:42:34
  episodes went by, Atlas set the hook and John had
• 1:42:39
  baited. As I'm now an instantite and a mini baron,
• 1:42:42
  it sounds a little better. I'd like some jobs, Karma.
• 1:42:45
  Obamacare has been great for America, but as a small
• 1:42:49
  business owner, it's gutted the profit for my business. Oh,
• 1:42:53
  yeah. It's horrible. We keep saying. Yeah. Okay, so the
• 1:42:57
  only one I couldn't get this story, so I only
• 1:42:58
  have the teaser for it, but I can explain the
• 1:43:00
  story. For some reason, I just couldn't get the story.
• 1:43:03
  But here's the teaser's UK heli payments. Coming up next
• 1:43:07
  here on Sky News, giving away money to heal a
• 1:43:10
  sick economy. How so-called helicopter payments could be the cure
• 1:43:14
  for a global slowdown. helicopter payment what so this is
• 1:43:19
  in ireland and so these these child literal helicopters the
• 1:43:24
  big boys no yes and they're throwing bags and bags
• 1:43:29
  of money out of the shop no no no no
• 1:43:32
  this is yes i don't understand they can't just they
• 1:43:35
  can't just land what's going on he's throwing it Here
• 1:43:41
  I am, ladies and gentlemen, in my stealth helicopter. I
• 1:43:45
  got to hear that clip again. You need to get
• 1:43:47
  the whole story. Coming up next here on Sky News,
• 1:43:49
  giving away money to heal a sick economy. How so-called
• 1:43:52
  helicopter payments could be the cure for a global slowdown.
• 1:43:57
  You're full of crap, Dvorak. No, I'm telling you. They're
• 1:43:59
  throwing bags of money out of the choppers. And it
• 1:44:02
  almost reminds me of some old movie where the king
• 1:44:05
  is throwing pennies at the peasants and they're following him.
• 1:44:08
  And they're all these little boys and girls that are
• 1:44:11
  waifs. And they're all grabbing the coins and the money
• 1:44:13
  off the ground. Let's go but they have they haven't
• 1:44:17
  actually done this yet have this is not occurred They
• 1:44:19
  showed a video of the chopper throwing money but bags
• 1:44:22
  of money flying out of the chopper. Yeah This is
• 1:44:26
  crazy. I'm trying to find this now. I want to
• 1:44:28
  find some pictures of it Okay, well the memes are
• 1:44:33
  there there's helicopters with a big piggy bank underneath I
• 1:44:38
  mean Someone's already working on it. Okay, perfect Helly, helly
• 1:44:44
  payments. Who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing? I
• 1:44:49
  don't put anything past these people. But Kress, our producer
• 1:44:53
  from Denmark, says by the 16th of November in Denmark,
• 1:44:58
  all mink are to be put down due to a
• 1:45:00
  mutation. The Danish CDC, Statenserumsinstitut. They say they have found
• 1:45:07
  at least five mutations of the COVID-19 virus. They call
• 1:45:10
  it Cluster 5. And they say it jumps from mink
• 1:45:14
  to people. I'm telling you, John, there's some secret here.
• 1:45:17
  There is something going on with this mink. So they're
• 1:45:20
  stepping up the test by threefold. for everybody and they
• 1:45:26
  have to call all of the mink in all of
• 1:45:29
  Denmark by the 16th. But here's what's interesting. He's heard
• 1:45:34
  people saying that... Hey, first they come for the ferrets,
• 1:45:38
  but they may be coming for our pets next. And
• 1:45:42
  I like this. I like this. Yes, I like it
• 1:45:45
  a lot. Dogs are people too. They're coming for your
• 1:45:48
  dogs. They're going to cull your dogs. Well, this makes
• 1:45:53
  my wife's investment in mink coats. Worth it. Well, you
• 1:45:58
  know what Mimi's been doing for probably 15 years? I
• 1:46:03
  think she's got maybe five or six of these coats.
• 1:46:06
  Huh. Uh, and then she does research on him after
• 1:46:10
  she gets him. Because of the West Coast and its,
• 1:46:14
  oh, fur thing, you can get a mink coat on
• 1:46:20
  Craigslist. that happened to be owned by some grandma. She
• 1:46:24
  bought it in the 30s or 40s from some furrier
• 1:46:26
  in New York City. And you can get it for
• 1:46:30
  like 100 bucks. because you don't want to own one.
• 1:46:35
  And so she's been buying a bunch of these when
• 1:46:37
  she sees them. She doesn't buy every one, but she's
• 1:46:38
  bought a number of them. For like a hundred bucks.
• 1:46:41
  And we do a little research afterwards. And the original
• 1:46:44
  price of the coat was like eight grand in 1930.
• 1:46:48
  Oh, yeah. In 1930, it was eight grand. Holy crap.
• 1:46:52
  That was might as well be an eight, 80,000, if
• 1:46:55
  not more. So now these coats will be more valuable
• 1:47:00
  unless they can maintain this hatred of dead animal fur.
• 1:47:06
  But people out there on the lookout, you should go
• 1:47:07
  check this out. In certain parts of the country, you're
• 1:47:10
  going to be able to get these very expensive... coats
• 1:47:15
  fur coats for next to nothing on craigslist your tip
• 1:47:18
  of the day This is Nutball00, two nuts on population
• 1:47:45
  control. contributing to the process under the pretense that they're
• 1:47:54
  doing a good thing by staying home and raising children.
• 1:47:58
  We don't need children. If you find yourself pregnant, there
• 1:48:03
  are options and you can have an abortion. No babies.
• 1:48:07
  Cut off the baby factors. We have 7.5 billion with
• 1:48:11
  a B humans on the planet. That's too much. The
• 1:48:15
  actual ideal amount seems to be under 1 billion. Under
• 1:48:20
  $1 billion. We have $7.5 billion. No babies. Women who
• 1:48:25
  have babies and stay home to raise them should not
• 1:48:28
  be viewed as doing a good thing. That's not a
• 1:48:31
  good thing. It's completely not what the situation calls for
• 1:48:34
  at all. I'm sorry. Find another way to contribute and
• 1:48:39
  be valued. That's not a good way. I'm sorry. Do
• 1:48:44
  they have a GoFundMe or a Patreon that I can
• 1:48:47
  contribute to? They don't need it. They make a lot
• 1:48:49
  of money. They do? How do they make money? I
• 1:48:51
  believe so. If you check her out, she does a
• 1:48:54
  lot of healing things, and she's in Washington, D.C., making
• 1:48:57
  a fortune. Okay. Now... The lifting of the... Two of
• 1:49:02
  them have their arms in the air, but the younger
• 1:49:05
  one, who's obviously the mom hates. She had a baby,
• 1:49:09
  obviously, and this girl, and the girl can't even say
• 1:49:12
  anything except that's true, that's true, that's true. In fact,
• 1:49:15
  they even isolated it. I got an ISO of it.
• 1:49:17
  That's true. That's true. So she's like diamond and silk?
• 1:49:22
  That's all she does? That's true. She just says that's
• 1:49:24
  true. That's true. She does say stuff once in a
• 1:49:28
  while. And when she says something... I'd say 90% of
• 1:49:32
  the time the old lady shuts her down and says
• 1:49:35
  no and tells her no. And this was during a
• 1:49:39
  moment where she explained the arm in the air thing.
• 1:49:42
  What she's doing is she's pulling the strands of imaginary
• 1:49:46
  strands of. Anger and fatigue and every bad thing that
• 1:49:53
  you have, you're pulling it out of your body and
• 1:49:55
  you're holding it into the air and throwing it away.
• 1:49:57
  So she's doing that constantly.
• 1:50:00
  And the old lady does it once in a while,
• 1:50:01
  too. And when the daughter explained this, the old lady,
• 1:50:05
  the daughter says, I invite you can all do this
• 1:50:07
  yourself. You can pull the fatigue and frustrations and the
• 1:50:11
  things about life out of your body and throw them
• 1:50:13
  in the air. And the old lady says, no, you
• 1:50:15
  can't. It's too late for them. I don't know if
• 1:50:19
  you saw the newsletter after it was finalized. I got
• 1:50:22
  it from No Agenda Social. This picture of the woman,
• 1:50:26
  the quote-unquote whistleblower who we spotted as a spook. And
• 1:50:31
  it's a tweet from her, and she's joined Twitter on
• 1:50:34
  October 6th, and within a day... She's got a blue
• 1:50:37
  checkmark. She's got a blue checkmark within a day, and
• 1:50:40
  she's got already 50,000 followers within a day. If you
• 1:50:44
  go now, it's like 70 or something. And I just
• 1:50:47
  keep looking at that, shaking my head, reminding me that
• 1:50:49
  we did have a clip of one of the women
• 1:50:51
  who was, I think, one of the disguise experts, somebody
• 1:50:53
  who worked at the agency for a long time. And
• 1:50:56
  she said, well, we have a real problem with social
• 1:50:58
  media because we don't know if it's a tell that
• 1:51:02
  our people don't have an account. They've never had an
• 1:51:05
  account. They're not on LinkedIn. They're not on Twitter. They're
• 1:51:08
  not on Facebook. And she's worried that it's a tell
• 1:51:12
  that it might indicate that they're intelligence people. A lot
• 1:51:16
  of them don't even have the same name. real life
• 1:51:19
  and they use pseudonyms just consistently. Wasn't that, wasn't that,
• 1:51:24
  that was Kara Swisher. One of the things that the
• 1:51:27
  organization does, they encourage folks not to have much of
• 1:51:30
  a virtual presence. And what that resulted in is a
• 1:51:33
  lot of our folks who had been here for a
• 1:51:34
  while had no idea how much digital dust was being
• 1:51:38
  created, how much of a signature it was not to
• 1:51:41
  have a digital persona. Like if you're not using Facebook
• 1:51:43
  or Instagram and things like that. Particularly in my business,
• 1:51:46
  right? It's like, you know, conversations about is that actually
• 1:51:50
  a tell if you have no digital footprint who are
• 1:51:53
  you right that's the directorate of digital innovation yours is
• 1:51:56
  more like the Q branch and she kind of sounds
• 1:52:01
  a little bit milieu ish Lee like the right you
• 1:52:05
  think right When I was at the Air Pollution District,
• 1:52:08
  we had the opportunity. I always, always take seminars. I'm
• 1:52:11
  a big fan of these things. I took a one-day
• 1:52:14
  seminar on memo writing. It was called CYA 101? No,
• 1:52:21
  but you could get your CYA information out of this
• 1:52:24
  memo writing class. I'll bet. It was a whole day
• 1:52:26
  of how to write a memo, which seems like a
• 1:52:28
  stupid day off. But no, to this day, I can
• 1:52:32
  write some of the greatest memos you've ever read. As
• 1:52:36
  an outside of government writer who's also been trained in
• 1:52:39
  writing memos. This woman did not know how to write
• 1:52:42
  this memo properly that she sent out to her email.
• 1:52:45
  It should have been written in the form of a
• 1:52:46
  memo. have had all the disclaimers at the beginning about
• 1:52:50
  how great the vaccination is and how we're not trying
• 1:52:53
  to do anything she could have had the whole thing
• 1:52:55
  put together in a package in such a way that
• 1:52:57
  she would have never gotten any kickback whatsoever in fact
• 1:53:00
  she would have but would she have achieved anything yes
• 1:53:03
  she would have been able to continue with it with
• 1:53:05
  this idea of filling the vars database and what would
• 1:53:07
  have happened that would be even better if it was
• 1:53:10
  done correctly it would have been it would have gone
• 1:53:12
  out like a virus and hit all the other hospitals
• 1:53:15
  so none of the hospitals would have any indication of
• 1:53:19
  reporting more or less than the average. Right, right, right.
• 1:53:22
  It could have worked out, but because she was panicking...
• 1:53:26
  No, no, it's because she wasn't thinking about the organization.
• 1:53:30
  She's only thinking about patients. She didn't think about... She
• 1:53:32
  wasn't thinking right. Well, no, she's not thinking right. It's
• 1:53:36
  a very endearing lady. You can still get the job
• 1:53:38
  done. You can still get the job done within these
• 1:53:41
  large organizations correctly and not get the blowback that she
• 1:53:45
  got and end up with her tittering. Are there some
• 1:53:49
  other tips you can give the producers when it comes
• 1:53:52
  to important memo writing? One of the main things about
• 1:53:55
  memo writing is you always open the memo. For one
• 1:53:57
  thing, they have to be formally formatted. They have to
• 1:53:59
  be formatted as a memo. Is that a template in
• 1:54:02
  Word? I never saw one, but there might be. Okay,
• 1:54:07
  I'm just saying, this is exit strategy time. There should
• 1:54:10
  be a no agenda memo template. My only tip is
• 1:54:14
  going to be the following. The opening of all memos
• 1:54:17
  has to be extremely complimentary and a kind of a
• 1:54:21
  rundown of how great everything is. Oh, really? Yeah, you
• 1:54:24
  open up with how fabulous everything is. And it's usually
• 1:54:29
  a short three-sentence paragraph, maybe two. And then from there,
• 1:54:33
  you go on. your grousing. The only memos I ever
• 1:54:37
  wrote started like this: "To memorialize our conversations." That's the
• 1:54:43
  boss CYA note. To memorialize our conversation where I told
• 1:54:47
  you you would no longer be reporting into the VAERS
• 1:54:49
  database. Actually, technically, a CYA note, which I've done. In
• 1:54:55
  fact, I saved my job once from doing one, and
• 1:54:58
  it was on accident. Okay, do tell. A CYA note
• 1:55:04
  is to point out, constantly be pointing out stuff in
• 1:55:09
  writing. issues that you have with something that doesn't work
• 1:55:13
  or something that you didn't get any feedback from someone,
• 1:55:17
  just little bitty things. And you put a string of
• 1:55:20
  those out asking for help. And what happened to me
• 1:55:25
  once was that... I was not, some product that was
• 1:55:29
  inspecting it when I was an inspector at Trailmobile was
• 1:55:33
  going out improperly. And it wasn't, because it couldn't be
• 1:55:37
  fixed. It was unfixable. The design of this product made
• 1:55:41
  for Pacific Corries or some company. It was a cargo
• 1:55:45
  container that was made out of fiberglass and it just
• 1:55:47
  wasn't going to work. And I immediately sent some notes
• 1:55:50
  in about it and I never got any feedback. It
• 1:55:52
  went on for months until the final inspectors started catching
• 1:55:55
  these things to the carpet for these things being... Ah,
• 1:55:59
  you had your memos. I said, well, I sent it.
• 1:56:02
  Look at this. Yeah, I had my mamos and then
• 1:56:04
  boom, I was back on the job. It was instant.
• 1:56:09
  Somebody else got fired. Of course. Someone bit the bullet
• 1:56:12
  for that one. Oh my. Anyway, so the medical system
• 1:56:19
  is clearly... commercialized to a degree where the Hippocratic Oath
• 1:56:24
  is just a part of the responsibility. It's not the
• 1:56:27
  overarching thing. It's just a part of it. Or what's
• 1:56:30
  left of the... Corporate responsibilities always supersedes. Say it again,
• 1:56:34
  what do you want it? Sir Chris Vox. Yeah, at
• 1:56:37
  the round table? Oh, chips and dip. Chips and dip?
• 1:56:41
  Done, sir. I thought that was that to round table,
• 1:56:43
  to be honest about it. It always is, but he
• 1:56:45
  may want some onion dip. I'll get some onion dip.
• 1:56:48
  He didn't say onion dip. He's getting onion dip. Well,
• 1:56:51
  you didn't say, I'm going to give people a good,
• 1:56:54
  uh... He's getting onion dip. If he doesn't specify, he's
• 1:56:56
  getting what we got in the castle. You get it.
• 1:56:59
  Here's what you do. I'm just, there's a generalized tip.
• 1:57:03
  Yes, a tip. There's a couple of these seasonings, one
• 1:57:04
  made by Badia and the other one made by this
• 1:57:06
  other Mexican company. But Badia Saison Total, it's a big
• 1:57:11
  giant seasoning. And it's great for everything. You get it
• 1:57:14
  at Mexican stores. And you just buy any sour cream
• 1:57:17
  and you take about two tablespoons of this Badia Saison
• 1:57:22
  Total and you mix it into the sour cream. Best
• 1:57:25
  dip ever. Another snack. That was your snack tip of
• 1:57:32
  the day. It was the guy. Okay, the joke goes
• 1:57:36
  something like this. A guy is having the, he's got
• 1:57:40
  hemorrhoids and he's at the doctors and he's having the
• 1:57:42
  glass rod treatment for the hemorrhoids and it's costing him
• 1:57:46
  $200 a treatment. He's got to do it a couple
• 1:57:49
  of times a week and he's getting, it's adding up.
• 1:57:52
  He's getting kind of sick of it. And he says,
• 1:57:54
  doc, is there any way that I can, this is
• 1:57:57
  costing me too much money. Can, can any way I
• 1:58:00
  can do this at home or is there some, something
• 1:58:02
  else that we can be done here? And he says,
• 1:58:05
  yeah, well, okay. The doctor reluctantly says, yeah, but, The
• 1:58:08
  glass rod's kind of expensive. It's a thousand bucks. Believe
• 1:58:11
  me, that'll save me money. So he sells him the
• 1:58:13
  glass rod and takes it home to his wife and
• 1:58:15
  gonna have her do the treatment. And he says, honey,
• 1:58:18
  I admitted you're gonna have to do the glass rod
• 1:58:20
  treatment for my hemorrhoids. And she says, okay, what do
• 1:58:22
  you want? He says, okay, well, the first thing you
• 1:58:24
  do is you get the glass rod out. And he
• 1:58:26
  says, you put your right hand on my right shoulder
• 1:58:29
  and your left hand on my left shoulder. And why
• 1:58:32
  that son of a bitch. I'm gonna show my support
• 1:58:36
  by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who
• 1:58:39
  could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab You have
• 1:59:21
  your regular mic? Yeah, nothing's changed. Maybe it's just, maybe
• 1:59:26
  like a fine wine. I'm kidding, Basie. Basie, you're with
• 1:59:31
  A. One of the guys in the papers in the
• 1:59:33
  2000 word, 2000 word, 2000 page document, 2000 plus pages,
• 1:59:39
  is Marvin Minsky. Big shot at the Media Lab. major,
• 1:59:43
  major guy. I remember running into him. In fact, he
• 1:59:46
  personally threw me out of a meeting. Do tell. We
• 1:59:51
  need to hear this. Tell us first who Marvin Minsky
• 1:59:54
  is and then how you got kicked out of the
• 1:59:56
  meeting. One of the famous...
• 2:00:00
  Artificial intelligence guys from the 80s, the first go-round, and
• 2:00:05
  maybe even the one before. Every 30 years or so,
• 2:00:08
  this artificial AI. Didn't he kind of write the book
• 2:00:12
  on artificial intelligence? He wrote a book. Hey, at least
• 2:00:19
  he published it. Well, you got me on that. So
• 2:00:24
  I got invited as a lark. uh by will hurst
• 2:00:30
  to go into the media lab with the executives of
• 2:00:34
  the Hearst Corporation who are getting a tour that you
• 2:00:38
  were you didn't have to sign a non-disclosure uh-huh And
• 2:00:41
  I was like, Hurst and I were just wandering, we're
• 2:00:44
  in the kind of just wandering, we're just in the
• 2:00:46
  group. There's about one, two, three, four, maybe eight, nine
• 2:00:50
  people. including the CEO and Randy Hurst and all these
• 2:00:54
  other people. We're going through this thing and we're getting
• 2:00:56
  to see the dog and pony show that they put
• 2:00:58
  on, which is where I found out a number of
• 2:01:00
  interesting things that I used later in certain columns because
• 2:01:03
  I could. I didn't have to worry about being nondisclosed
• 2:01:07
  on any of it. And so we're going from meeting
• 2:01:09
  to meeting where these guys are just full of crap
• 2:01:11
  and they're showing us everything in the place. Got a
• 2:01:14
  great tour. And I have a few. ribald comments to
• 2:01:19
  make and so we go into this final meeting and
• 2:01:21
  there's minsky in there with uh the guy that's ahead
• 2:01:25
  at that time whose name is deluding me Vulva's Wired
• 2:01:29
  Magazine. And Minsky sees me. He knows who I am.
• 2:01:32
  And he says, what's this guy doing here? What's Dvorak
• 2:01:36
  doing here? Pretty much. This guy. And everybody's looking left
• 2:01:41
  and right. And I'm sitting there with a stupid smile
• 2:01:43
  on my face. And they asked me to leave. Yeah.
• 2:01:50
  Yeah. Yeah. So we'll actually, we'll left with me. The
• 2:01:53
  two of us left. Oh, that's cool. At least it
• 2:01:56
  was from what I could tell. Yeah. And so we
• 2:02:01
  left, we, and it was at the end anyway. So
• 2:02:03
  who cares? And we went out and did something in
• 2:02:05
  Boston somewhere. And then as you left, like, that's the
• 2:02:08
  mouse guy. Hey guys. Thank you again for the best
• 2:02:12
  podcast in the universe. I have a couple of edibles
• 2:02:15
  the other day and ended up listening. I ended up
• 2:02:19
  listening to a recent episode of Brett Weinstein's podcast. Necessary.
• 2:02:24
  He had to be stoned. He was discussing atrazine and
• 2:02:27
  frogs, which we talked about 10 years ago. Well, Alex
• 2:02:32
  Jones told us that it's turning the frogs gay. Well,
• 2:02:35
  he said it was turning the frogs gay, but I'm
• 2:02:37
  the one who had the clips from the professor at
• 2:02:39
  Cal that was discussing atrazine in the water and mentioned
• 2:02:44
  the possibility. I think I figured, and people should, we
• 2:02:48
  should look those clips up again. I have them. I
• 2:02:50
  have them. I have them all. It's a whole series.
• 2:02:53
  I think I figured that the real reason they want
• 2:02:55
  us feasting on insects. This hypothesis of how carnivorous frogs
• 2:03:00
  should be exposed to the herbicide. to the herbicide atrazine.
• 2:03:05
  It was most likely due to their diet bugs. The
• 2:03:09
  bugs eat the poison plants, we eat the bugs, and
• 2:03:12
  the little boy's dick. start to falling off. Yay! Yay!
• 2:03:19
  Game, set, match. The lizard people win. He's still on
• 2:03:25
  edibles, it seems to me. Hey, man, for jingles, can
• 2:03:29
  I get an I Like Bugs, Fauci Wheeze, and Trump
• 2:03:33
  Space Force? Thanks. So Darren O'Neill brought us this fantastic,
• 2:03:39
  I liked it a lot. You had an issue with
• 2:03:40
  it for a specific reason. It was a four-pack of
• 2:03:44
  Duracell C batteries. I think it would be C. Didn't
• 2:03:47
  look like C or Ds. And it had the copper
• 2:03:51
  top look. It had no agenda on it instead of
• 2:03:54
  Duracell, of course, guaranteed 33 years in storage. It was
• 2:03:59
  like one of those plastic packs. And it almost didn't
• 2:04:03
  pass because you hate the actual product. I do, and
• 2:04:08
  I tell you why. After I found this online guy
• 2:04:12
  who's a battery nut who turned me on to Allmax
• 2:04:16
  and Fuji batteries, which is the ones I order now,
• 2:04:19
  although Allmax are harder to find, but Fuji's have always
• 2:04:23
  been around. Because every time I buy those Duracells from
• 2:04:27
  Costco, I put them in some device or other, I
• 2:04:31
  come back a month later, and they're in there, they're
• 2:04:32
  exploded, I have to clean out the goo that's in
• 2:04:36
  there, it's a mess. batteries are garbage. I do not
• 2:04:40
  like them. And I have photos. I've taken photos. I've
• 2:04:42
  posted them every once in a while. Duracell batteries don't
• 2:04:45
  hold up and then they burst. They go to something.
• 2:04:49
  They burst inside product and you have to clean out
• 2:04:52
  the mess and hopefully you can still get a good
• 2:04:54
  connection. I've never had an Allmax battery do that. Ever.
• 2:04:58
  For years. Allmax. A-L-L-M-A-C-S? Allmax? No. A-L-L-M-A-X. Allmax. Allmax. Never
• 2:05:06
  heard of the product. Do you have a couple points
• 2:05:08
  of that? I wish. Allmax. Okay. Allmax from now on
• 2:05:15
  is the battery of the No Agenda show. Fuji also
• 2:05:18
  makes a terrific product. I had to go with Fuji
• 2:05:21
  recently because, Costco, because Amazon stopped carrying the Allmax huge
• 2:05:27
  pack you could buy for like a few dollars. Oh,
• 2:05:30
  no. Now I've got this clip. This is another one.
• 2:05:34
  So he's so hard up Beto is that he went
• 2:05:37
  to go on Sharpton. Yes. Now I'm going to kind
• 2:05:44
  of jump to the punchline so I can get this
• 2:05:45
  out of the way. And then I'm going to play
• 2:05:47
  the whole Beto clip because I'm not playing, because I
• 2:05:51
  want this to be, I've created the ISO that everybody's
• 2:05:54
  all jitty about. list and it goes into the files
• 2:06:04
  and I'm gonna play I'm gonna do this backwards I'm
• 2:06:06
  gonna do a back ass word I'm going to play
• 2:06:08
  the gaff first so we get that out of the
• 2:06:10
  way and then we can play the sharp the Sharpton
• 2:06:12
  and Beto actually talking but this is gurgle and Hitler
• 2:06:16
  Sharpton ISO perhaps he was influenced by gurgle and the
• 2:06:20
  Third Reich So he says that Trump was influenced by
• 2:06:27
  Gergel. Gergel. Gergel. Gergel and the Third Reich. Reich, yes,
• 2:06:34
  the Third Reich. Let's just listen to it again, just
• 2:06:36
  because it's so beautiful. Perhaps he was influenced by Gergel
• 2:06:40
  and the Third Reich. I mean, that is the end
• 2:06:42
  of show, I mean, no doubt, end of show ISO.
• 2:06:47
  Gergel. So he has this guy. And meanwhile, of course,
• 2:06:50
  Beto hasn't got the nerve to say, I think you
• 2:06:52
  mean. Well, careful, I want to make a statement right
• 2:06:58
  now. Yeah. And this is an, I think we may
• 2:07:01
  have talked about it previously, in a general American sense,
• 2:07:05
  there is no R in Goebbels, okay? It's G-O-E-B-B-E-L-S, and
• 2:07:10
  there's an umlaut in there somewhere. There is an R
• 2:07:13
  in Goebbels, though. Yes, but even Beto says Goebbels. It's
• 2:07:17
  not Goebbels. Yeah, Americans tend to say Goebbels. It's stupid.
• 2:07:21
  It's Goebbels. Goebbels or Goebbels. Goebbels. Goebbels. Goebbels. You might
• 2:07:25
  as well say Goebbels. I mean, it's just as dumb
• 2:07:27
  as Goebbels. Well, Washington. But he could have at least
• 2:07:32
  corrected him in some way. He just let it slide.
• 2:07:35
  Of course. Because he hasn't got the guts. Nobody has
• 2:07:37
  the guts to say anything to Sharpton. Oh, yeah. Sharpton's
• 2:07:40
  an agent of change, man. Release the orb! Say it's
• 2:07:45
  not so! If you know, you know. He's resorted to
• 2:07:49
  being an Uber driver. Look at all these boxes. We
• 2:07:53
  love you. Live! This is an outrage. They're out of
• 2:07:58
  control. traffic control shut it down hottest day ever on
• 2:08:03
  earth of all time okay frenchie game set match the
• 2:08:07
  lizard people win the carbon is you take your pants
• 2:08:11
  off the public i'm an egg white Last on the
• 2:08:15
  list is Sir Puck. He's in North Carolina. Flat Rock.
• 2:08:19
  Imagine somebody, what are we going to name this town,
• 2:08:21
  Bill? I don't know. It was the first thing you
• 2:08:24
  see. Let's call it that. You know, that's what the
• 2:08:25
  Indians do when they name their kids. Oh, there's a
• 2:08:28
  Flat Rock. I recently got 100% off social media except
• 2:08:33
  LinkedIn, which is a piece of shit. Which is worse.
• 2:08:36
  It's like, that's the horrible social media thing. LinkedIn, geez.
• 2:08:41
  Well, unless you're trying to get a job, but it
• 2:08:42
  doesn't work for that either. What happens, neither you or
• 2:08:45
  I know, but the Keeper does, there are a lot
• 2:08:48
  of dudes who stalk professional women on LinkedIn. It's quite
• 2:08:52
  annoying. I believe that. I have a story to tell.
• 2:08:56
  Do tell. I have a fake woman, beautiful, beautiful, that
• 2:09:03
  is on LinkedIn. Every good story should start with, I
• 2:09:06
  have a fake woman. That's always a win. I have
• 2:09:07
  a fake woman, a fake woman, a beautiful fake woman
• 2:09:10
  that's on LinkedIn. And I posted her up as a,
• 2:09:13
  you know, with a good background. The whole thing is
• 2:09:16
  just as a honey trap to see what kind of
• 2:09:19
  douchebags would come on to her. Oh, this is you.
• 2:09:22
  You are the fake woman. Yeah. Oh, sweetness. telling you
• 2:09:29
  now i now i know what you did after you
• 2:09:31
  left second life now i know where all that So
• 2:09:37
  it's pretty embarrassing. I can see what she's talking about.
• 2:09:40
  And it's people I know. I've kept it to myself.
• 2:09:43
  Really? People you know who have been hitting her up?
• 2:09:46
  Well, because I managed to link up with her in
• 2:09:48
  such a way that she got into my network. And
• 2:09:51
  next thing you know, she's got her own little network
• 2:09:53
  that's pretty big. It has a lot of my people
• 2:09:55
  in it. And they're hitting on her. Now, you know
• 2:09:58
  what you're supposed to do.
• 2:10:44
  had. So can you please, in your most fatherly tone,
• 2:10:47
  say, I'm proud of you, kid. I'm proud of you,
• 2:10:51
  kid. It will give... It will give... I felt that
• 2:10:56
  even. Now we get to Eli. Eli the coffee guy
• 2:10:59
  in Bensonville, Illinois. 20602. And he says, John, I love
• 2:11:05
  the good news segment, but if you ever get rid
• 2:11:08
  of it, replace it with a tip of the day.
• 2:11:10
  Yes. Well, that's what we've done. Are you doing a
• 2:11:14
  tip of the day today? I do have a tip
• 2:11:16
  of the day. Oh, excellent. Thanks to a great tip
• 2:11:20
  I heard on the show a few years ago, we
• 2:11:22
  recently tried a saw turn paired with foie gras. That's
• 2:11:28
  the combo you want. That's the one. That's the one.
• 2:11:30
  It always works. It's never a combo I'd normally have
• 2:11:34
  gone for, but we loved it. In fact, saw turns,
• 2:11:37
  especially if you have a good one that's just a
• 2:11:40
  beauty. That's how I got my final and best wife.
• 2:11:45
  Well, that's another tip. Uh-huh. I'll just say it. So,
• 2:11:52
  a turn will get you laid. There you go. And,
• 2:11:56
  ladies and gentlemen, I can be... I'm very proud as
• 2:11:59
  a white man from the western part of the world
• 2:12:03
  to let you know that we... are testing this first
• 2:12:07
  vaccine on humans in Africa. Risk factor zero, baby. Go
• 2:12:17
  for it. Does anyone see how sick this is? I
• 2:12:23
  do. Thank you. Thank you. That's right. South Africa. Beautiful.
• 2:12:29
  106. Let me see. How many are they going to
• 2:12:33
  do? They're going to do a shitload of them. you
• 2:12:36
  How many are they going to kill? Do they have
• 2:12:38
  a number yet? How many are we going to hear
• 2:12:40
  about? I know there's a lot of Africans looking really
• 2:12:43
  scared. Uh-oh, here comes Dr. Bill with his syringe again.
• 2:12:46
  We know what happened last time when he was here
• 2:12:49
  with his other friend, Bill. Biden's on top of it.
• 2:12:52
  I do have a clip of Biden ruminating on the
• 2:12:54
  vaccine. Oh, he's on top of it? I can't wait
• 2:12:57
  to hear it. When, God willing, we get this vaccine,
• 2:13:01
  how will it be destroyed? Stop. Stop. Stop now. Stop.
• 2:13:07
  Stop this show. Let's see. How would you spell that?
• 2:13:11
  Vaxeline. Okay. Vaxeline.com. Registered. Got it. Nailed it. Nailed it.
• 2:13:18
  For once. I'm going to hide my contact information for
• 2:13:21
  an additional $3. Okay. Back to the Vaxeline. When, God
• 2:13:26
  willing, we get this vaccine, how will it be distributed?
• 2:13:30
  Where will it go? How will it get there? I
• 2:13:33
  guarantee that it will be able to... way that all
• 2:13:36
  Americans can live. all Americans have equal access to it.
• 2:13:40
  Because the same thing's going to happen. Unless God willing,
• 2:13:43
  we get a vaccine. Maybe one, if God was great,
• 2:13:49
  maybe even in the fall. Wait a minute. What did
• 2:13:53
  he say? First, was he praying to God not to
• 2:13:56
  have a vaccine? At one point he says, the only
• 2:13:59
  thing that can save us is getting a vaccine from
• 2:14:02
  a vaccine. I don't know what he was saying. He's
• 2:14:04
  a maniac. Right. Oh man, you just nailed it. so
• 2:14:08
  good if god was great he'd make vaxeline to save
• 2:14:13
  us from the evil Ladies and gentlemen, the next president
• 2:14:19
  of the United States of America. Does anyone else see
• 2:14:25
  that we are a big joke? Guns and Spokes. Guns
• 2:14:28
  and Spokes on a couple of channels. Yeah, of course.
• 2:14:31
  Heroes and Icons, I think, is that channel. How about
• 2:14:35
  Little House on the Prairie? Little House on the Prairie
• 2:14:38
  is on. I have not seen it. What's that on?
• 2:14:40
  Where can I find it? I love Little House. I
• 2:14:42
  can't remember which. It's one of the networks. It's one
• 2:14:44
  of these. Screwy networks. I love Little House on the
• 2:14:48
  Prairie. I read those books. I thought that show was
• 2:14:50
  the worst. I hated Little House on the Prairie. Of
• 2:14:52
  course you did. And the fact that it's on now
• 2:14:54
  makes me... it makes me mad it's so stupid no
• 2:15:00
  it was beautiful if you No. of good books that
• 2:15:06
  Laura Ingalls wrote. This was really a one-off that we
• 2:15:11
  could only use for that episode, done by CZ137. It
• 2:15:15
  was just the best. on its knees bent over with
• 2:15:20
  a American Standard. Jammed through him from the back with
• 2:15:25
  blood dripping off the mouthpiece. And I should mention... little
• 2:15:30
  time in the show with our slide whistles figuring out
• 2:15:35
  which is the best way to grip it if you
• 2:15:37
  didn't Somebody threw it. You remembered. All right, now we're...
• 2:15:43
  Have a really solid grip and you could swing into
• 2:15:46
  somebody and probably impale them with a slide whistle. So
• 2:15:52
  you're lucky yours wasn't confiscated. Ain't no rules, there ain't
• 2:15:58
  no vow. We can even stab a cow. You and
• 2:16:02
  I will knife them through. Cause every day we pay
• 2:16:06
  the price with a little sacrifice. Stab until the knife
• 2:16:10
  pokes The TSA totally should have seen this as a
• 2:16:14
  deadly weapon since our combo. Gone on to try different
• 2:16:21
  grips. And I think the best way is you grip
• 2:16:23
  it with the mouthpiece. And down, put your index finger.
• 2:16:32
  The time is now for us to be bold 42
• 2:16:36
  verges do await You don't want to be late Marder
• 2:16:41
  drums with more than gold See, you got a good
• 2:16:48
  grip. So it won't slide. Slide down as you're pushing
• 2:16:54
  it through the bone and flesh. Burnout factor. I'm always
• 2:16:59
  sad when people are doing a lot. Like Sir Chris
• 2:17:02
  in Australia. I love the guy. He's doing so much
• 2:17:04
  good work. Slow down. You don't need to do a
• 2:17:07
  show, a song for every single show. You're gonna burn
• 2:17:10
  out. Yeah. He won't listen. I actually did some lyrics
• 2:17:13
  for him. He won't do those either. Well, you did
• 2:17:16
  lyrics for him. Yeah, I got a song. I got
• 2:17:19
  a whole... Anybody who wants to do a song, I
• 2:17:20
  got lyrics for two songs. Well, because he sent another
• 2:17:23
  one today, so it might be your song. I don't
• 2:17:24
  know. I got the feeling that he got my lyrics
• 2:17:30
  and believe me, the lyrics work. And he said, you
• 2:17:33
  know, I'd rather write my own lyrics. I'm going to
• 2:17:35
  write somebody. I'm not your slave. I'm an artist, dammit.
• 2:17:41
  I do my own material. Yes. Understood. Gotcha. I love
• 2:17:48
  doing this show. It's crappy. It's a crappy. It's a
• 2:17:57
  real. It's a crummy oil, we should mention. Yeah, don't
• 2:18:00
  you have to mix that oil? No, it's not that
• 2:18:04
  bad. It's pretty bad, though. It's a... heavy sour oil
• 2:18:10
  that's a typical brent type oil that comes from under
• 2:18:14
  the water as opposed to land-based oils like west texas
• 2:18:18
  which is some of the finest oil yes yes black
• 2:18:22
  gold texas tea i was looking into this by the
• 2:18:28
  way and the best oil in the world in terms
• 2:18:30
  of like pure like you pump it diesel fuel you
• 2:18:36
  can put it in a truck. Where's that? Algerian Saharan
• 2:18:40
  crude. no sulfur, almost no sulfur, and the API, which
• 2:18:48
  is the measure of the viscosity, basically, the higher the
• 2:18:54
  number, the better, is the highest. And it sounds like
• 2:18:58
  it's very similar to me. It reminds me when I
• 2:19:01
  was an air pollution inspector in refineries or my thing.
• 2:19:06
  We had a little refinery that was shuttered some years
• 2:19:09
  ago called the Pacific Refinery that got some sort of
• 2:19:12
  Bolivian. that was similar. They didn't even need a desulfurization
• 2:19:19
  facility at the refinery, which is unbelievable. A little tidbit
• 2:19:24
  there for you oil and gas guy out there. Yes,
• 2:19:26
  yes. This is dynamite insight. It's not it. And the
• 2:19:34
  problem is that everybody is watching two people, Tucker Carlson
• 2:19:40
  and Laura. And because of that, Republicans in red states
• 2:19:46
  in the vaccination rates and they are dying and they
• 2:19:52
  are going to die. You are all going to die.
• 2:19:55
  This is Dick Durbin, Senator Dick Durbin, talking about this
• 2:19:59
  very
• 2:20:00
  issue in the Senate. There are two a host of
• 2:20:04
  programs on Fox Primetime that can only be characterized as
• 2:20:08
  anti-vax quacks. I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson and
• 2:20:14
  Laura Ingraham. And I appreciate him using the official no
• 2:20:17
  agenda pronunciation of Laura Ingraham. One thing, a quack technically
• 2:20:24
  refers to a doctor. It's always a doctor. You're not
• 2:20:27
  a quack. You could be a crackpot or a nutball
• 2:20:32
  or a number of things, but you're not a quack.
• 2:20:35
  Quack is a doctor that is a bad doctor. discussed
• 2:20:41
  a couple months ago, back when the allopaths came in
• 2:20:45
  and medicine was taken over by the Rockefellers and they
• 2:20:48
  were trying to cure cancer after that, they were looking
• 2:20:51
  to cure cancer, there were cancer cures, certainly the one
• 2:20:54
  that is still operating in Mexico, and those were branded
• 2:20:57
  by big pharma, I'll just put it that way, as
• 2:21:00
  quacks. So they're just rolling out the same script. When
• 2:21:03
  you're against big pharma, not against medicine or against a
• 2:21:07
  certain policy, then you're a quack, you see. So it's
• 2:21:10
  the pharma, industry who wrote this for him that's the
• 2:21:12
  way i deconstructed that's an interpretation i just think it
• 2:21:16
  just pointing it out that durbin's full of shit but
• 2:21:18
  uh it's interesting that they would do this this is
• 2:21:21
  the congress of the united states bitching about a talk
• 2:21:25
  show host That is really low end. Wait for it.
• 2:21:29
  I'm referring, of course, to Tucker Carlson. and Laura Ingraham.
• 2:21:35
  They have been spreading what I consider to be irresponsible
• 2:21:39
  information about vaccines across America and about the effort of
• 2:21:43
  this nation to deal with them. Here's the reality. We
• 2:21:47
  have millions who've died across the world by this vaccine.
• 2:21:51
  We may never have an accurate... There's just nothing like
• 2:21:54
  it. This is the best one I've ever gotten. Did
• 2:21:57
  you hear it? No, say it again. Oh, the switcheroo.
• 2:22:00
  There's a switcheroo. Here's the reality. We have millions who've
• 2:22:05
  died across the world by this vaccine. We may never
• 2:22:08
  have an accurate count. That is the top of the
• 2:22:13
  list. That is number uno. You can't get any better.
• 2:22:16
  Truth wants to come out. This is no longer a
• 2:22:19
  coincidence that this happens. He's reading a piece of paper.
• 2:22:24
  We have hundreds of thousands who have died in the
• 2:22:26
  United States. And now it is said repeatedly that those
• 2:22:30
  who are headed to the hospital with the most serious
• 2:22:33
  strains of COVID-19, 99.5% of them were not vaccinated. So
• 2:22:41
  The facts are obvious here. We don't know this. Where's
• 2:22:44
  that number come from? No, that's the talking point number.
• 2:22:47
  And as witness... Can I stop you for a second
• 2:22:50
  and bring up the talking point number? No, no, you
• 2:22:53
  can't bring up the talking point because then they shut
• 2:22:56
  you down immediately. No talking points for you. Oh my
• 2:23:00
  god. That was crazy So, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Stop,
• 2:23:03
  John. Stop, stop, stop. The minute you said, I'm bringing
• 2:23:07
  up the talking point, right away you cut off. And
• 2:23:10
  I'm leaving that in the show this time because I'm
• 2:23:12
  sick of those guys doing it to us. Could you
• 2:23:14
  pick it up from the talking point? The talking point
• 2:23:17
  stems from Fauci, who when asked about the deaths he
• 2:23:21
  did around about, he did some screwy thing where he
• 2:23:23
  says 99.5% of all people who died of COVID were
• 2:23:28
  unvaccinated. referring to the total number of people, the 500,000,
• 2:23:36
  because recently not too many people have died, vaccinated or
• 2:23:39
  unvaccinated. It's just a fact. Oh, you mean since the
• 2:23:42
  beginning of the pandemic, that many people have died unvaccinated
• 2:23:47
  because there was no vaccine? Yeah. He's counting that as
• 2:23:50
  part of it? That was the whole scam. It was
• 2:23:54
  a scam comment. And now Dick Durbin's bringing that number
• 2:23:57
  in as though today. Oh. I've rethought my position. Oh.
• 2:24:04
  On Mike Johnson. And I have two clips. Now, what
• 2:24:11
  was your original position? That the CIA or somebody came
• 2:24:16
  up to him and said, hey, look at this picture.
• 2:24:18
  Yeah. What's that in your mouth, you think? Oh, John,
• 2:24:25
  stop now. This is a family show. It's just a
• 2:24:27
  family show. It could be eating succotash. Succotash, sure. Dig
• 2:24:33
  the hole deeper. And now, ladies and gentlemen, first time
• 2:24:37
  for a new segment on the show. John C. Dvorak
• 2:24:42
  with the two. the day he's gonna tell us what
• 2:24:47
  he would do in every possible way john just the
• 2:24:53
  tip yeah we need jingles everybody we need jingles yeah
• 2:24:57
  anything but that that's all we got okay so i'm
• 2:25:01
  recommending a product all right that people will get a
• 2:25:04
  kick out of it's an ai product which kind of
• 2:25:07
  you know you will hate so you don't even shouldn't
• 2:25:09
  even look at it but it's called 11 it's 11
• 2:25:12
  labs.io is the URL and they just introduced the sound
• 2:25:16
  effects section. And this thing has got, what makes it
• 2:25:22
  fun, this 11 Labs, is the number of hallucinations that
• 2:25:28
  it creates. Oh, and do you have any examples? I
• 2:25:32
  do, but first I'm going to play a series of
• 2:25:34
  douchebag clips. All from the same prompt. This is 11
• 2:25:39
  Labs. I owe douchebags. Okay, here we go. Yeah, if
• 2:25:45
  you're a douchebag. Yeah, if you're a douchebag. I don't
• 2:25:51
  think so! YOU! JUICE BAG! you We finally found a
• 2:26:00
  use for AI. That's fantastic. So now I want to
• 2:26:04
  play the non-hallucination clip, which is she says exactly what
• 2:26:09
  I put in as the prompt, then I'm going to
• 2:26:10
  play the hallucination. This is non-hallucination clip. No, no, no,
• 2:26:18
  you're playing the wrong clip. It says non-halluc... The clip
• 2:26:20
  is titled Non-Hallucination. Sorry. Here we go. End of show,
• 2:26:26
  you douchebag. Now I don't know what to choose. There's
• 2:26:33
  only one left. And so, end of show, you douchebag,
• 2:26:38
  which is in a sexy voice, which I didn't ask
• 2:26:40
  for. I asked for a person saying, end of show,
• 2:26:43
  you douchebag. And you also have to put it in
• 2:26:46
  phonetically because they can't pronounce the actual spelling, douchebag. Oh,
• 2:26:51
  really? Really? Yeah, really. What kind of AI is that?
• 2:26:56
  Now you tell me. But it hallucinates so much. Now,
• 2:27:00
  you just heard that clip. End of show- what is
• 2:27:03
  it? End of show you douchebag. Here's the hallucination version.
• 2:27:18
  How did that even come about? I don't understand. I
• 2:27:25
  could have played, actually the hallucinations are funnier than any
• 2:27:29
  of the clips, but it's like some of them are
• 2:27:32
  just so, and there's music, there's a music bed on
• 2:27:35
  a lot of them. I had one of them, I
• 2:27:39
  didn't clip it, but I said, it's almost the same
• 2:27:43
  clip with your douche bag, but it started playing, Papa's
• 2:27:46
  got a brand new bag riff at the end, this
• 2:27:51
  music thing. It's unbelievable, but this is a fun product.
• 2:27:55
  for people to play with. And again, the name of
• 2:27:57
  the product and the domain where we can find this
• 2:27:59
  fine product is your tip of the day. 11labs.io. All
• 2:28:04
  right, everybody. And they've just recently introduced the sound effects.
• 2:28:07
  So you can do sound effects. All right. Another tip
• 2:28:11
  from John C. Dvorak. It was just... *sad music* *sad
• 2:28:19
  music* Believe me. I'm sorry. You are so right. You
• 2:28:38
  making note on it? Noted. Noted. Noted. Yo Dirty Saudi
• 2:28:43
  Arabian Ziyad money. Get some Saudi gold. What he says
• 2:28:53
  he could say. You can mail the... NAMI for the
• 2:29:02
  treasure. No! No, well, it's not even a color thing,
• 2:29:32
  I don't think. Donate! You do the accounting, we don't
• 2:29:38
  do it. You know, I did a column in PC
• 2:29:47
  Magazine sometime in the 90s, I recall, because I was
• 2:29:51
  kind of annoyed by the word nerd. Okay. And no
• 2:29:56
  one had ever done an entomology of the word. And,
• 2:29:59
  I mean, they did.
• 2:30:44
  little bitty nerdy looking guy so it made nothing but
• 2:30:48
  sense to me that this was what the etymology so
• 2:30:50
  it's a it's a made up word made up by
• 2:30:52
  dr seuss yeah cool yeah so it's made up by
• 2:30:55
  dr seuss as a nerd and so i and so
• 2:30:58
  i confirmed it with seuss and and his assistant and
• 2:31:03
  geis is his name uh i can't remember his first
• 2:31:05
  name the writer and he was a pretty old then
• 2:31:08
  but he he knew he made it up and he
• 2:31:12
  didn't realize that it was the you know it was
• 2:31:14
  the formation the word nerd. I wrote all this history
• 2:31:17
  out. And so then, so I thought it was kind
• 2:31:20
  of cool that I developed, you know, found out the
• 2:31:22
  origins of this word. And so then I went, and
• 2:31:25
  then kind of the kicker to the story is I
• 2:31:27
  went to the Universal Studios Park in Orlando and they
• 2:31:32
  had an If I Ran the Zoo exhibit. The nerd
• 2:31:37
  was not in it. Ah, and so you complained bitterly,
• 2:31:40
  no doubt. I've always wondered when, you know, when we
• 2:31:43
  go out to dinner, all these these classy restaurants. I
• 2:31:46
  was just wondering, together, do we look like you're my
• 2:31:50
  gay sugar daddy? You know, I don't think so. You
• 2:31:54
  sure? Yeah, I'm pretty sure, because you can tell. I
• 2:31:57
  mean, for one thing, I don't think we give off
• 2:31:59
  any gay vibe. And the other thing is I don't
• 2:32:06
  think anyone in San Francisco notices one way or the
• 2:32:08
  other or cares. Because there's a lot of gay couples.
• 2:32:15
  I don't look like, well, since you're picking up the
• 2:32:17
  tab, you know, it kind of proves I'm not. But
• 2:32:23
  you're refining me in life. You're showing me which wine
• 2:32:25
  to drink. And so I can culture myself, cultivate myself.
• 2:32:31
  Yeah, but I never really do that. We just buy
• 2:32:32
  the wine and drink it. you ever explain anything. I'm
• 2:32:39
  just wondering. You're explaining all the time. We're always talking.
• 2:32:42
  No, it's mostly I'm just giving you the ridiculous anecdotal
• 2:32:47
  material about this wine and the winery and where it
• 2:32:50
  came from. I don't really describe. But that's different than
• 2:32:53
  what you would do if you were trying to get
• 2:32:54
  somebody up to speed on their palate. Yeah, but from
• 2:32:58
  a distance. And then we're always talking about our gadgets.
• 2:33:02
  I think there's a lot of gayness to us, John.
• 2:33:03
  I'm sorry. As an outsider, I think we would actually
• 2:33:07
  register on gaydar. At least we're in the right neighborhood
• 2:33:10
  for it. Yeah, true. Another thing that's kind of interesting,
• 2:33:14
  if you can ever find a... We did make a
• 2:33:16
  clip of Eliza, the comedian, and her comment about it's
• 2:33:23
  okay to be harassed if the guy's good looking. Eliza
• 2:33:25
  Schlesinger. Eliza? Eliza, yeah. Eliza is something like it. I
• 2:33:30
  can't remember her first name. But there was an... where
• 2:33:33
  we have on the San Francisco... on his football team
• 2:33:38
  who is a he's like a Clooney-esque good-looking guy tall
• 2:33:43
  dark and handsome big smile a womanizing type and he
• 2:33:48
  says to one of the sideline reporters he calls her
• 2:33:52
  baby and she's just like turns red and she's all
• 2:33:57
  flustered by it and tweeters are going crazy about this
• 2:34:00
  but of course nobody calls him out for sexual harassment
• 2:34:05
  who did this who said this this was Garoppolo, the
• 2:34:08
  quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, who is by all
• 2:34:12
  definitions is a good looking tall. handsome quarterback for the
• 2:34:17
  football team, a football guy, and he would have been
• 2:34:20
  called out under any other circumstances except for the fact
• 2:34:23
  that he's good looking and it brings back the old
• 2:34:26
  Liza Schlesinger bit where, you know, it's okay to be
• 2:34:30
  sexually harassed if the guy's attractive. Every time it happens,
• 2:34:34
  it always irks me. I wish I could find that.
• 2:34:37
  I know you had it, but you either have her
• 2:34:39
  name wrong or you spelled it wrong. I probably would
• 2:34:44
  have put L-I-Z-A. Yeah, but you know what I get?
• 2:34:47
  A million clips with Elizabeth Warren. Oh, maybe it's Eliza.
• 2:34:53
  Yeah, which doesn't help. Same thing, yeah, Elizabeth Warren. Doesn't
• 2:34:59
  help much. Uh... is the worst. I'm sorry. Yeah, this
• 2:35:08
  is it. Let me rephrase that. Being sexually harassed by
• 2:35:12
  an ugly guy is the worst. There you go. If
• 2:35:21
  he's hot, it's just plain old flow. No one's ever
• 2:35:25
  been like, "Get away from me, you model." Like, that's
• 2:35:27
  fine. I love... That's one of her best. It's so
• 2:35:33
  true. There's lots of money I can make in sex,
• 2:35:38
  sex business. I mean, that's easy. I just, I'm not
• 2:35:40
  interested in being in that business. What do you mean?
• 2:35:44
  Oh, I see what you mean. You mean being a
• 2:35:46
  pimp. Would you know that the best online porn guys,
• 2:35:52
  it's all in Amsterdam. Yeah. In fact, I ran it
• 2:35:58
  years and years ago. I went through Holland. I was
• 2:36:02
  at some event. It was an early Boardwatch magazine thing.
• 2:36:07
  It was in Germany. And I ran into a bunch
• 2:36:08
  of these guys. And they said, well, you want to
• 2:36:10
  just take a run over to... and we'll go through
• 2:36:13
  Belgium and we'll taste some beer and whatever. And we
• 2:36:16
  got in the car and went over there and we
• 2:36:18
  stopped and visited a friend of a friend and he
• 2:36:20
  ran, and this was like in the early 90s, in
• 2:36:23
  the early 90s before the net was even going, it
• 2:36:26
  was the old bulletin board scene. And he had this
• 2:36:29
  nice little... A sex farm with, that's what we call
• 2:36:34
  them, with like little rooms. And then in the back,
• 2:36:36
  he said in the back room he had a bunch
• 2:36:38
  of servers and they were cranking out porn like there
• 2:36:41
  was no tomorrow. Yeah. And it's socially acceptable to set
• 2:36:48
  up a business like that. Yeah, and he was cranking
• 2:36:51
  away. Oh, that's interesting. He was nonchalant about the whole
• 2:36:55
  thing. And now, ladies and gentlemen, You know what it's
• 2:36:59
  time for! And sometimes Adam. Hey, man. That's a jingle.
• 2:37:15
  That's a jingle right there. Thank you, Shwoo. All right,

  Then I do a tip. Don't you remember? Okay, I
• 2:37:28

  bunch of apple cider vinegar. health benefits, gut health, so

  you don't have a leaky gut, gut health, or losing
• 2:37:50

  German vinegar seasoning instead and use that instead of apple
• 2:38:07
  cider delicious in a in like I'm using it now
• 2:38:11
  in the Topo Chico you dump a bunch of it

  these things all right I have three tips actually for
• 2:38:31
  my tip tip one three yes tip one Never ever
• 2:38:36
  ask your wife to help you with the tip. She
• 2:38:39
  was very mad. She said, you should do your own
• 2:38:41
  tip. Sending email to me, marked important, puts you to
• 2:38:49
  the bottom of the list. Do you see this? People
• 2:38:53
  who send email and then go through the... Trouble of
• 2:38:57
  marking it important and then even asking for a return
• 2:39:01
  receipt. Bottom of the list. I haven't had that probably
• 2:39:06
  for 10 years. Oh, it happens every day. And my
• 2:39:09
  email program. That's because you never answer your email. I'm
• 2:39:11
  very. You don't even answer my email. What are you
• 2:39:17
  talking about? No, because on Thunderbird, which I've been using
• 2:39:20
  to great success. Thunderbird! Actually, it shows up as red.
• 2:39:25
  And it's very annoying. So I just delete it right
• 2:39:28
  now. Oh, I see. Okay, well, that's no good. Finally,

  if you are a fan of making coffee with ground

  ♪ Always quick with his replies ♪ He'd cut through

  Yeah, them some dangerously good tips. John C. Dvorak with
• 2:40:08
  the tip of the day. He's going to tell us
• 2:40:12
  what he would do in every possible way. Now, this
• 2:40:18
  is all alleged. Got it. Microsoft had an account. They
• 2:40:23
  were big with hookers in the early days. Woo! To
• 2:40:26
  the point where they had an account with some, and
• 2:40:29
  this is in the era, where there was a lot
• 2:40:32
  of hookers. And they had an account at, uh... I
• 2:40:38
  would say what this era was is probably, I'm trying
• 2:40:41
  to put the years on it. I'm gonna say it's
• 2:40:43
  probably... early 80s. Bush presidency. When they were still in
• 2:40:49
  Bellevue is all I can say, for sure. All right.
• 2:40:52
  And they had just an open account, and this is
• 2:40:56
  when Microsoft, everyone had their own private offices. Everybody had
• 2:40:59
  a private office at Microsoft. So when you visited the
• 2:41:01
  campus in the early days, it was nobody. It wasn't
• 2:41:04
  one of these open-air things where everyone felt like a
• 2:41:07
  drone. It was everyone had every code, everyone who works
• 2:41:09
  there, wherever you did, you had a private office. You
• 2:41:11
  could close the door and lock it. And you could
• 2:41:13
  have a bed in there if you wanted to, if
• 2:41:15
  you wanted to spend the night, because a lot of,
• 2:41:17
  Coders like to do that, to just stay there. And
• 2:41:20
  that was very common in the early days. So they
• 2:41:25
  had an open account with a whorehouse, and they would
• 2:41:30
  just go on to the bill. I don't know what
• 2:41:32
  the petty cash. I have no idea how they wrote
• 2:41:34
  this off. But any coder that was lonely could get
• 2:41:37
  some girl to come over to keep them at the
• 2:41:41
  place coding. Wow. What a great place to work. Yeah,
• 2:41:47
  but it had to be dynamite. That's why you could
• 2:41:48
  take a cut and pay to work there. There are
• 2:41:52
  benefits that are a little more than the free lunch.

• 2:47:57
  a special thanks to Dame Jennifer. We had at least
• 2:48:00
  19 animated No Agenda pieces in there. And it was
• 2:48:04
  really, really so wonderful just to listen to all of
• 2:48:08
  that. No agenda does not end. I just want to
• 2:48:13
  say that up front. What we are going to do
• 2:48:16
  is we're going to take two weeks off. I'm tired.
• 2:48:20
  Mimi's tired. Everybody's tired. There's a lot to do. We
• 2:48:23
  have a funeral and memorial service coming up on August
• 2:48:27
  8th in Oakland, San Francisco. But in that time, the
• 2:48:31
  show will continue, and we have found Darren O'Neill and
• 2:48:35
  Larry Blytner more than willing to take over the show
• 2:48:39
  for two weeks. To get back to some media deconstruction,
• 2:48:45
  of course, they will continue to honor John in those
• 2:48:49
  two weeks. And I will return on the Thursday after
• 2:48:53
  those two weeks. But things will change. We will probably
• 2:48:57
  experiment with some different voices. We know that No Agenda
• 2:49:00
  is just bigger than John and I ever set it
• 2:49:04
  out to be. And No Agenda Nation is an incredibly
• 2:49:08
  important community, a global community to me and to everybody.
• 2:49:13
  else. So nothing is going to stop. We will continue
• 2:49:18
  in those two weeks. I will continue with Podcasting 2.0
• 2:49:22
  when we get to do this with Pastor Jimmy as
• 2:49:25
  part of my own. processing of everything and I look
• 2:49:30
  forward to look forward to see how the community picks
• 2:49:33
  this up remember you are producers you're not listeners you
• 2:49:36
  are just as much a part of this show as
• 2:49:39
  John and I were Listening to the past two hours
• 2:49:43
  and 43 minutes, there was a couple of surprising things
• 2:49:48
  to me. The first one is that the number one
• 2:49:51
  most favorite ISO was game set match the alien people
• 2:49:55
  win. I can't even remember how long ago that one
• 2:49:59
  came up.
• 2:50:00
  - Yeah, we need a little bit more, okay. -
• 2:50:00
  - Yeah, come on, computer boy, make it work. There
• 2:50:00
  But the most important thing that I learned. is that
• 2:50:04
  Dana Brunetti is a fraud. What a typical Hollywood guy
• 2:50:08
  taking credit for someone else's creation. I'm like, what are
• 2:50:13
  you doing, Brunetti? He didn't create anything. If anything, it
• 2:50:16
  was Eli the coffee guy, and this thing was going
• 2:50:19
  on from episode 200. Wait, let me clarify that. We
• 2:50:24
  were doing the happy news stories and everybody was like,
• 2:50:28
  oh, brother, let's stop those. And that's when Brunetti told
• 2:50:32
  John, you need to do the tip of the day,
• 2:50:34
  calling it back. So it wasn't he came up with
• 2:50:37
  the idea. He was just urging us to stop doing
• 2:50:40
  the happy news story. But somehow he forced us to
• 2:50:44
  create a created by Dana Brunetti credit in the closing
• 2:50:48
  jingle. because he's magic. JC, are you there? I'm not
• 2:50:55
  sure that your microphone is connected. Just want to make
• 2:50:58
  sure that you're there. I'm here. I'm here. Yeah. Are
• 2:51:00
  you on the right mic? It looks like you're on
• 2:51:02
  your browser setting. Make sure you're on that snowball or
• 2:51:04
  that blue thing, whatever you're on. And then we've got
• 2:51:07
  Brennan here. Hello, Brennan. Hello, Adam. Yes. Yeah. Killer show.
• 2:51:13
  Really great. Well, I had nothing to do with it.
• 2:51:15
  I just put it all together. And believe me, there's
• 2:51:18
  more people are sending more and more clips. I love
• 2:51:21
  that Sir Chris Wilson just resurrected like a phoenix from
• 2:51:25
  the ashes. He's been texting me. He's, you know, just
• 2:51:29
  felt so right to have some of his his his
• 2:51:32
  end of show mixes in there. But the wealth of
• 2:51:35
  material as I was going through putting this together, I
• 2:51:38
  mean, it is. you It is unbelievable the things that
• 2:51:43
  we went through with As No Agenda Nation together. I
• 2:51:46
  mean, the COVID clips were blowing my mind. Just the
• 2:51:50
  stuff that we were seeing and talking about in the
• 2:51:53
  middle of deplatforming everywhere. I mean, wow, we really, we
• 2:51:59
  kept each other alive. It was just so wonderful. Yes.
• 2:52:03
  All of these things. All of us. A lot of
• 2:52:06
  years, Adam. It was a lot of shows. Yeah. I
• 2:52:12
  think I calculated it's over 5,000 hours of content that
• 2:52:17
  we produced. Wow. Okay. That's a lot of hours. I
• 2:52:21
  don't even know how many years that is. - Clip
• 2:52:24
  shows forever. - Content from home. - Hold on a
• 2:52:29
  second, JC. - Let's turn up him. - I wanna
• 2:52:32
  make sure that, give me some signal, JC. - Hello.
• 2:52:38
  All right, let me see what else I can do.
• 2:52:44
  you go. I'll get better. So not even... 30 minutes
• 2:52:51
  before the plug dropped out of the plug, connected, completely
• 2:52:58
  shut down my whole system. Oh, of course. Completely making
• 2:53:01
  me freak out. So thanks, John. I was literally, I
• 2:53:05
  was, because, you know, I was playing this on VLC
• 2:53:09
  because I wanted to make sure it wasn't too over
• 2:53:11
  compressed because some of the sound is already a little
• 2:53:14
  tricky in some of those older episodes. I was literally
• 2:53:17
  keeping my hands away from the mouse, away from the
• 2:53:20
  keyboard. Like, I don't want anything to stop in the
• 2:53:23
  middle of this. I want to just keep on going
• 2:53:25
  and praise God it did. I was not letting him
• 2:53:28
  do any of that. And I think he was probably
• 2:53:30
  like, no, I'm not going to mess with this. This
• 2:53:31
  is too good. And I just love that the producers
• 2:53:34
  put it together. That was really, really, really nice. I
• 2:53:38
  think we got it. But it was crazy. So many
• 2:53:41
  people came in with game set match. The alien people
• 2:53:43
  win. I was like, wow. I had no idea that
• 2:53:47
  that was such a thing. No idea. So, JC, can
• 2:53:51
  we hear you yet? I don't know. Can you hear
• 2:53:54
  me? Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yay! Oh, easy, easy to
• 2:53:57
  meet me. I just show my support by donating to
• 2:54:00
  No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do this.
• 2:54:02
  Oh yeah, that'd be fab. CHILDREN! So no surprise that
• 2:54:13
  we all mourn in different ways and in Knowage in
• 2:54:16
  the Nation, we like to mourn and celebrate with donation
• 2:54:21
  notes. And I have a feeling John would be pretty
• 2:54:26
  angry about the length of some of these notes. Holy
• 2:54:31
  mackerel. Holy mackerel. He would be complaining. We're not going
• 2:54:35
  to do that. We are going to read the notes
• 2:54:37
  that came in as we promised. Wait, wait, wait. We
• 2:54:41
  can complain still. Oh, no, we should complain. There's no
• 2:54:43
  doubt about it. And we stopped at 8888 on the
• 2:54:48
  last show. We're going to go all the way through
• 2:54:51
  to the 50s as we always do with the addition,
• 2:54:53
  I think, from the last show. So everybody who sent
• 2:54:57
  in a note, we will read your note. Mimi, you
• 2:54:59
  had something to say? you I have it between now
• 2:55:03
  and midnight to do this no problem. Yeah, that's kind
• 2:55:06
  of the amazing thing. Oh, that's a little too loud.
• 2:55:09
  Oh, no. Sorry about that Yeah, no, it's just me
• 2:55:14
  I'm getting the sound right here It's better than the
• 2:55:18
  last show. Holy moly. You know why? Because you got
• 2:55:21
  headphones. Oh, yeah. Well, I couldn't hear with the... speakers
• 2:55:26
  on the floor anyway. I don't know how John did
• 2:55:28
  it. I think he wasn't really listening to you. Sheer
• 2:55:32
  stubbornness. No, I think meaning has it right. Unwillingness to
• 2:55:37
  change. He wasn't actually listening to me. That's probably right.
• 2:55:41
  That's probably closer to the truth. So let's go down
• 2:55:45
  our list. We start off right off the bat with
• 2:55:49
  a rubbleizer from Viscount, dude named Jeff, protector of the
• 2:55:52
  land from Westlake, Ohio. $2,333.33. He says, I've been waiting
• 2:55:59
  for the right time for a Rub-A-Lizer donation. No better
• 2:56:02
  time than in honor of JCD. No jingles, no karma,
• 2:56:06
  in honor of JCD. But yes, sir, you get this.
• 2:56:19
  And I might as well continue with the next very
• 2:56:22
  long note from Sir Steve Knight of the Red Heart,
• 2:56:26
  also 3,333.33. He says, no agenda, family. Seeing the passing
• 2:56:32
  of John C. Dvorak on the title of show 1888
• 2:56:34
  made my heart sink. I've never cried for the passing
• 2:56:37
  of someone I've never met. This, by the way, was
• 2:56:40
  a general comment people would send me. The impact of
• 2:56:44
  this show has had on me and so many others
• 2:56:46
  is evident with the resounding messages that has happened over
• 2:56:49
  the last week. I'm incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon
• 2:56:53
  this show thanks to Adam's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast
• 2:56:57
  in early 2020. Rogan donation. I started listening before my
• 2:57:01
  daughter was born in March of 2020, and the insight
• 2:57:03
  the two of you provided helped immensely navigating that first
• 2:57:07
  year of her life when it seemed like the world
• 2:57:08
  was turned upside down. I'm beyond appreciative of the service
• 2:57:12
  that you two have provided, in a time when it's
• 2:57:14
  rare to converse with anyone outside of your chatbot, you
• 2:57:18
  two made it enjoyable to listen to two old friends
• 2:57:21
  discuss the state of the world twice weekly. If I
• 2:57:24
  can suggest if it's even possible to find any more,
• 2:57:27
  is an article discussing the higher hand, which explores higher
• 2:57:31
  and lower planes of spiritual existence. I bring this up
• 2:57:34
  because having listened to John and heard the overwhelming sentiment
• 2:57:37
  about his impact on others' lives, that there is no
• 2:57:39
  doubt that he has transcended this plane of spiritual existence
• 2:57:44
  This donation brings me to Barron Hood. I would like
• 2:57:46
  to request the rule of Southwest Lorain County, Ohio, specifically
• 2:57:51
  the township of Columbia Station. I cannot emphasize how much
• 2:57:55
  I appreciate the value both Adam and John have provided
• 2:57:58
  to me over the last six years, six years and
• 2:58:00
  a half, other than a Bitcoin donation. The Rebelizer donation
• 2:58:04
  cost me roughly $333.33 when it was purchased in 2018
• 2:58:07
  to 2019. I wish the value I could provide was
• 2:58:10
  100x this value, but sadly, I wasn't early enough to
• 2:58:14
  the hard money revolution. I truly appreciate everything that the
• 2:58:18
  entire No Agenda crew has done to make this experience
• 2:58:20
  a possibility because there's nothing else like it. wait to
• 2:58:24
  get the Rubalizer coin eventually. Yes. I'd also like to
• 2:58:27
  request John's fisting nuts jingle. For brevity, we're going to
• 2:58:32
  do some of these longer jingles at the end because
• 2:58:34
  this will take several hours to get through this note.
• 2:58:37
  Reverend Manning, we're all going to need a Bitcoin. And
• 2:58:41
  if possible, a prayer from Adam because I think we're
• 2:58:43
  all in need of one in times like this. Let
• 2:58:46
  me give you your Rubalizer first. India. So I do
• 2:58:59
  want to honor his request. Do we have... Do we
• 2:59:04
  have Jay nearby to start keeping accounting of all the
• 2:59:06
  jingles that were owed at the end of this? No,
• 2:59:11
  Jay's sleeping. Let me... To honor his request of a
• 2:59:15
  prayer, I will do that. Father God, in Jesus' name,
• 2:59:22
  we come to you as an entire community, and we
• 2:59:24
  thank you for the time that we were able to
• 2:59:26
  spend with John here on this earth. Lord, we ask
• 2:59:29
  you for grace, and we ask you for the Holy
• 2:59:32
  Spirit to lift us up during this time. Lift up
• 2:59:35
  the Dvoraks, lift up the Dukuris, lift up all of
• 2:59:38
  Noah's generation, Lord. And we pray that you have your
• 2:59:40
  arms around John, and we pray for this, Lord, in
• 2:59:42
  your son Jesus' name. Amen. Sir Gatekeeper. To the No
• 2:59:49
  Agenda family, Sir Gatekeeper here, returning from the fog of
• 2:59:52
  my life with my deepest and warmest condolences on the
• 2:59:55
  passing of John C. Dvorak. I've been saving my donation
• 2:59:58
  for episode 2000, but it fell through.

• 3:01:59
  was hoping to enjoy another episode of the best podcast
• 3:02:02
  in the universe but the feed wasn't showing an update
• 3:02:04
  as the usual time. Instead, I tuned into We Get
• 3:02:07
  to Do This and was shocked to hear about John's
• 3:02:10
  passing. No agenda has been part of my life since
• 3:02:12
  2008. It has always been something to look forward to
• 3:02:15
  on Sundays and Thursdays. Having quit TV around the same
• 3:02:18
  time, it quickly became my main source of news. The
• 3:02:21
  show has been with me through all kinds of highs
• 3:02:24
  and lows. I have good memories of tending the grill
• 3:02:26
  as I cooked Sunday dinner for me and my parents,
• 3:02:28
  accompanied by you and John discussing the latest news, international
• 3:02:31
  conflict, disease outbreak, or beauty pageant. There's... Creek. When anything
• 3:02:39
  major happened in the world, the first thing I'd think
• 3:02:41
  was, I wonder what John and Adam are going to
• 3:02:43
  say. I was fully expecting you two would make it
• 3:02:45
  to 2000 and beyond. Every time either of you hinted
• 3:02:48
  at ending the show, I thought maybe listeners could donate
• 3:02:51
  so much money you would be indebted to continue the
• 3:02:53
  show as our media analysis slaves ad finitum. I love
• 3:02:57
  John's sense of humor, laughter, and quick wit and followed
• 3:03:00
  him across the internet from No Agenda to Twit, Cranky
• 3:03:03
  Geeks, Tech 5, DH Unplugged, and A New Domain. I
• 3:03:06
  forgot about that one he was the crazy uncle we
• 3:03:09
  all wish we had with the best stories and funniest
• 3:03:11
  quips listen to the john stories episode several times adam
• 3:03:16
  has been remarkable hearing about your faith journey and encouraging
• 3:03:19
  to me even as a fellow believer i hope your
• 3:03:21
  walk with christ was meaningful to john and changed his
• 3:03:24
  heart in some way this is my first real donation
• 3:03:27

  root beer and soft pretzels at the round table. There
• 3:03:42
  will never be another John, but I hope no agenda
• 3:03:46
  continues on in some form. Gitmo Nation media assassinations never
• 3:03:50
  get old. Praying for all who grieve John's passing, he
• 3:03:53
  will be so missed. Owen from Tucson. And he has
• 3:03:56
  a PS, of course. A few months ago, I attempted
• 3:03:59
  to get AI to generate a picture of John's office
• 3:04:01
  based on the tidbits of information we have gotten from
• 3:04:04
  him over the years. Phrase from the chaise, mud flats,
• 3:04:07
  Redbook, the Tech Archives, piles of cans, noisemakers, spreadsheets that
• 3:04:11
  won't fit on the screen. And then he sent an

  via twit since the beginning. No agenda has accompanied me

• 3:09:17
  of your beloved friend and co-host. I've enjoyed hearing about
• 3:09:20
  your journey with Christ the past few years. I emailed
• 3:09:22
  you a couple of years ago and you added me
• 3:09:24
  to your prayer chain. Over the last few months, I've
• 3:09:26
  been actively going back to church with my wife and
• 3:09:29
  our youngest son got baptized. before COVID and you all
• 3:09:33
  really helped me learn to not only listen to what
• 3:09:35
  people say, but how much they, but how they say
• 3:09:38
  it. Between No Agenda and MoFax, I've learned so much.
• 3:09:42
  I've been a douche. went ahead and became an instant

  Yellow Yellow Zero. John was special. Much like yourself and
• 3:10:03
  listening to his family pay beautiful tribute to him Friday
• 3:10:05
  morning was inspiring. Here's my thought on John. In all
• 3:10:09
  of human history, God blessed us to live at the
• 3:10:11
  same time as John C. Dvorak. There will never be
• 3:10:13
  another one. Rest in peace, JCD. Please dedouche me. Sincerest
• 3:10:16
  condolences. God love life. You've been dedouched. Martin Gidzinski. Gidzinski.

• 3:10:54
  years ago upon discovering my high school's politicization of our
• 3:11:03
  college entrance exams. John replied, typical BS ruining the country,
• 3:11:08
  and named me No Agenda's new cultural attaché to the
• 3:11:12
  educational meniscus. More than half my life I listened to
• 3:11:16
  John. have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Amen.

  Brandon Mango. $935.66. Heaven is a beautiful place. I was
• 3:11:31
  there April 1st, 2011. I can't wait to go back.
• 3:11:36
  It was so beautiful. You are so lucky, man. Sorry
• 3:11:39
  for your family's loss. Miss you, you old curmudgeon. Sir
• 3:11:44
  Carl of Cary from Cary, North Carolina. John, with a
• 3:11:50
  $935.66 donation. John had such an impact on my life
• 3:11:55
  going back to those early compute years. I've been listening
• 3:11:59
  since the beginning and I really appreciate what has emerged
• 3:12:02
  from all the hard work and dedication of John and
• 3:12:05
  Adam, as well as their families, and No Agenda Nation.
• 3:12:09
  You are all in my thoughts and prayers, Sir Carl
• 3:12:11
  of Kerry. Sir Mike and Dame Becky of Cheney. I
• 3:12:16
  think it's Kinney. Kinney. Yeah, Kinney. We got a pronunciation
• 3:12:21
  guide from them previously. Kinney in Katy, Texas. With 935
• 3:12:26
  and 66. Dear No Agenda family, please accept our donation
• 3:12:31
  of $888.88 plus fees in memory of JCD. This donation
• 3:12:36
  will make us barren and barreness, but since Gitmo Nation
• 3:12:40
  is in mourning, we will forestall the ceremony for a
• 3:12:43
  future time. NJNK, Sir Mike and Dame Becky Kinney. Sir
• 3:12:49
  Scovey, Grand Duke of the Piedmont, Charlotte, North Carolina, $935.66.
• 3:12:56
  Adam, Mimi, Dvorak family, and fellow producers, please accept this
• 3:13:00
  donation of 8.88 plus fees. The sadness is real. The
• 3:13:08
  sadness is real at Gitmo Nation. And also the outpouring
• 3:13:11
  of admiration and love for John brings so much joy.
• 3:13:16
  And the fate of his phone in the drawer comes
• 3:13:18
  to mind. That device belongs in a technology museum or
• 3:13:29
  a drawer in a technology museum. Not to be displayed
• 3:13:32
  in just a boring case, but to be displayed in
• 3:13:35
  an actual drawer. Same thought. A drawer to be opened
• 3:13:39
  up to see the device. And when the drawer is
• 3:13:41
  opened, an audio clip plays of John saying, and I
• 3:13:46
  so ended up, so I put it up in the
• 3:13:48
  drawer for a while. Thank you, Jason. For your wonderful
• 3:13:52
  influence, the world needs more of that. Love and light,
• 3:13:55
  Sir Scovey, Grand Duke of the Piedmont. Carol Goodman, 888.88.
• 3:14:02
  ITM Adam, I was saddened to hear about JCD's passing.
• 3:14:06
  I only discovered no agenda this past year, but he
• 3:14:09
  quickly became... one of my favorite voices on the show.
• 3:14:13
  His humor and delivery made every episode better. It's hard
• 3:14:16
  to imagine the show without him. I also wanted to
• 3:14:19
  say again how much I appreciate you, Adam, as part
• 3:14:22
  of my church family and No Agenda. Your voice, perspective,
• 3:14:26
  and dedication means a lot to so many of us.
• 3:14:29
  And I'd like to keep hearing No Agenda for years
• 3:14:31
  to come. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,
• 3:14:35
  with you, and with everyone who knew and loved him.
• 3:14:38
  JCD brought so much personality to the show, and he
• 3:14:41
  will be deeply missed. I'll mostly miss hearing him say,
• 3:14:46
  as we all say around the house all the time,
• 3:14:49
  every show. He always made me chuckle, and I hope
• 3:14:52
  you'll consider turning it into a jingle so his voice
• 3:14:55
  and spirit can live on in the show. It would
• 3:14:57
  be a fitting tribute to the joy he brought so
• 3:15:00
  many. Thank you for everything you and JCD have given
• 3:15:05
  the audience. Please take care, and again, my deepest condolences.
• 3:15:09
  God bless you, Adam, and I'm keeping you in my
• 3:15:11
  prayers. ITM, Carol Goodman, Willow City, Texas. Sir, actually, you
• 3:15:19
  should read this one, Adam. Yes, Sir Jan, the innkeeper
• 3:15:22
  of Amsterdam and Sir Giel. I think he came in
• 3:15:26
  again, 888.88. Dear Adam, what a tragedy. Love to you
• 3:15:30
  and John's family. We will miss him dearly. We are
• 3:15:33
  really verdrietig, which means he's really sad. Sir Jan, the
• 3:15:36
  innkeeper of Amsterdam and Sir Giel from the banks of
• 3:15:39
  the River Amstel. Lynn Wilson, 888.88. My husband and I
• 3:15:43
  have been listening to No Agenda for a couple of
• 3:15:45
  years now. We love it and we will miss hearing
• 3:15:47
  JCD. Prayers to Adam and John's families. Sarcastic the Nomad,
• 3:15:51
  Glenmore, Pennsylvania, 888.88. Sincere condolences to the Dvorak family. Adam,
• 3:15:57
  your monologue on Thursday's show was a touching masterclass in
• 3:16:00
  broadcasting professionalism. You held it together while the rest of
• 3:16:05
  Gitmo Nation wept. Rest in peace, JCD. No jingles, no
• 3:16:08
  karma. Sarcastic the Nomad, Red Knight, and Baron of Chester
• 3:16:12
  County. Maarten van Ettinger in Lopik in the Netherlands. 888.88.
• 3:16:18
  Shocked by this sad news, I enjoyed JCD, especially on
• 3:16:21
  Cranky Geeks. No Agenda saved me during the 24 elections
• 3:16:25
  when I first tuned in. Forever thankful for No Agenda's
• 3:16:28
  value. Thank you for celebrating John's life. Rest in peace.
• 3:16:31
  My condolences. Andrea Gardner, 777. Gutted to hear the man,
• 3:16:36
  the myth, the legend, John C. Dvorak is no longer
• 3:16:38
  with us. Hugs to Mimi and his amazing family. Also
• 3:16:41
  to Adam, Tina, Andrew, and all his friends. Love from
• 3:16:44
  Black Knight, Sir Kelly, Dame Andrea, and Sir Dallas. and
• 3:16:48
  producer since 2007 until the end, which we hope is
• 3:16:51
  never. Thank you for all the fun memories, John. One
• 3:16:54
  of our favorite JCD quotes is, hold on, this damn
• 3:16:57
  Twitter fucked me over. A rare F-bomb from me. David
• 3:17:04
  Makko from Portland, Oregon, 777. Cheers and thank you for
• 3:17:08
  everything. Yes. Andrea Gardner. That's who I just did. That
• 3:17:12
  was the one we read. Oh, I'm... Yeah, we've got
• 3:17:14
  it there. Dame Rachel. It's okay. I'll just sit in
• 3:17:18
  the corner now. Believe me. John and I went through
• 3:17:20
  this all the time. Dame Rachel, Covington, Louisiana, $720.26. No
• 3:17:26
  note. Lyle. Lyle. Lyle, $7.11 and $0.15. Adam, I was
• 3:17:31
  waiting for Bitcoin to hit $1,000 so I could go
• 3:17:34
  straight to Instanite. $1,000? Well, I paid $1,000 a long
• 3:17:37
  time ago. Maybe it meant a million. Ironically, John didn't
• 3:17:40
  hang around to see that day, which he would have
• 3:17:42
  groused about, which only feels right for a Bitcoin donation.
• 3:17:45
  The Noah Jenna Show has been a constant voice in
• 3:17:47
  an ocean of madness. To not get his worldview twice
• 3:17:50
  a week will be a real gap in my life.
• 3:17:53
  Please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. Rub-a-lizer out. It's only
• 3:17:59
  for rub-a-lizers. Kia kaha? I believe it is. Lyle. Dame
• 3:18:04
  Lacey from Lake Mills, Wisconsin, 58888. To John, family, and
• 3:18:09
  friends, my virtual arms are reaching out to embrace you
• 3:18:12
  during this incredibly difficult time. John was truly an esteemed
• 3:18:16
  man who remarkably impacted the lives of countless people. His
• 3:18:19
  losses felt deeply by so many, me included. To show
• 3:18:23
  the love and admiration I hold for JCD, I offer
• 3:18:25
  this donation in his honor. This brings my peerage level
• 3:18:28
  to that of Baroness. May I please hear John once
• 3:18:31
  again ask for producers to donate in his spooky voice.
• 3:18:34
  I will play that at the end. Blessings to all.
• 3:18:36
  Love and light. Thank you for your courage. Dame Lacey,
• 3:18:39
  Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Tom and Larissa from Georgetown, Texas, 52636.
• 3:18:46
  To Adam and the Dvorak family, we send you our
• 3:18:49
  heartfelt condolences on the passing of JCD. We are going
• 3:18:52
  to miss his grumpiness. May he rest in peace. Sincerely,
• 3:18:55
  Tom and Larissa. Oh, this is the one I've been
• 3:18:58
  waiting for. This literally blows out three spreadsheets. But we
• 3:19:05
  do break for nights here on the show. So Sir
• 3:19:08
  Knives of the Providence Plantations and Lady Butters of the
• 3:19:12
  Narragansett Bay sent in $526.36. And whoever is next will
• 3:19:18
  take it after this one. Adam, Mimi, and all the
• 3:19:21
  No Agenda family, I had wanted to donate for Thursday's
• 3:19:24
  show, but I found myself at a bit of a
• 3:19:26
  loss for what to say. Losing John so suddenly hit
• 3:19:29
  me harder than I thought possible. When my wife, Lady
• 3:19:33
  Butters, texted me initially, I couldn't believe it. And as
• 3:19:35
  so many others have said, I thought it simply had
• 3:19:38
  to be a ploy for donations. It was a possibility.
• 3:19:41
  I wish. I rarely hate being so wrong as much
• 3:19:45
  as I feel now. Myself and Lady Butters have been
• 3:19:47
  delinquent in donations too long. I hope my $500 plus
• 3:19:50
  fees can make up for that. And that you humor
• 3:19:52
  my following on how John has impacted us both. George
• 3:19:58
  S. Patton once said, it is...
• 3:20:00
  and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we
• 3:20:02
  should thank God such men lived. It feels apt. I
• 3:20:06
  think my first interaction with JCD was as a kid
• 3:20:08
  in grade school in our shambles of a computer lab
• 3:20:11
  where they were teaching us to type. And though my
• 3:20:13
  memory is foggy, I'm pretty sure I remember the voice
• 3:20:16
  prompting me was none other than JCD himself. Yes, they
• 3:20:19
  used Dvorak on typing. Was that a real thing, Mimi?
• 3:20:24
  Absolutely it is. We have one framed on the wall.
• 3:20:26
  Oh my goodness. I didn't even know about that. Already
• 3:20:29
  a rather old product by the time I was there
• 3:20:32
  to teach the kids. I suppose I can understand why
• 3:20:34
  John may have hesitated to recommend it and seem too
• 3:20:38
  shy to shy away from talking about it on the
• 3:20:41
  show. Wow. I didn't know this about Dvorak on typing.
• 3:20:45
  I need this. I'm a pecker. I need to learn
• 3:20:48
  how to type. I am now a 38 year old
• 3:20:50
  computer engineer with nearly two decades experience. I utilized a
• 3:20:55
  bastardized pick-and-peck method that ended up becoming ingrained in me
• 3:20:59
  as a kid. But the fundamentals of typing clearly didn't
• 3:21:02
  stick. John's voice sure did. In high school, I have
• 3:21:06
  fond memories of seeing John every so often when I
• 3:21:08
  would catch him on tech TV. I recall him always
• 3:21:11
  eliciting a chuckle from me when I saw one of
• 3:21:13
  his hot takes, and I always appreciated his wit. It
• 3:21:16
  stuck with me. It made me feel like being a
• 3:21:17
  computer nerd wasn't a stigma, and that there were normal
• 3:21:20
  folks out there that were also something more than computer
• 3:21:23
  literate. seemed like he had a solid grasp of Oscar
• 3:21:26
  Wilde's concept that life is much too important a thing
• 3:21:29
  ever to talk seriously about it. Fast forward to 2016,
• 3:21:33
  I distinctly remember I was tremendously hungover sitting on the
• 3:21:37
  couch and through some freak oddity, my echo speaker fouled
• 3:21:40
  up what I told it to start playing some random
• 3:21:42
  podcast. The best podcast in the universe or some such
• 3:21:45
  thing as they build it. My addled semi-conscious mind didn't
• 3:21:49
  bother to turn it off and instead I listened. I
• 3:21:51
  thought I recognized one of the voices I heard. There
• 3:21:54
  was this overzealous guy who sounded like he had a
• 3:21:56
  lot of hair, but there was also the other host
• 3:21:58
  who sounded suspiciously like he had less hair I wasn't
• 3:22:03
  sharing the hair, but I digress. Oh, man. He sounded
• 3:22:06
  familiar. It struck me then. Crap. In a hat. That's
• 3:22:09
  John Dvorak. The same guy who I ignored typing prompts
• 3:22:12
  from and I thought was amusing a decade prior when
• 3:22:15
  I caught him on TV. I sat there, slipping in
• 3:22:18
  and out as I yo-yoed my guts from imbibing far
• 3:22:21
  too much the prior night and listened. Suddenly enraptured when
• 3:22:25
  my, at the time, recent wife, Lady Butters, stopped it
• 3:22:28
  to set a timer for something and I was pissed.
• 3:22:31
  I realized I had found something remarkable. A huge part
• 3:22:34
  of that was John. you In the time since no
• 3:22:37
  agenda has become a weekly staple in our house, countless
• 3:22:42
  are the Sundays we have sat enjoying brunch after our
• 3:22:45
  weekly range trips, we call it going to church, listening
• 3:22:48
  to the live stream, laughing and enjoying JCD's rapier wit
• 3:22:52
  and sensible takes. Often we would have range buddies over
• 3:22:55
  after and getting over what they initially thought was a
• 3:22:57
  cult, they would be laughing and appreciating John's acumen as
• 3:23:01
  well. Numerous times John would bust out some quip or
• 3:23:04
  some one-liner that had us laughing Lady Butters would exclaim,
• 3:23:08
  see, that is why John is my spirit animal. He
• 3:23:11
  is the best curmudgeon. She had always felt kindred with
• 3:23:14
  John as a fellow writer. I can't describe how elated
• 3:23:16
  she was when he saw fit to add her as
• 3:23:18
  a connection on LinkedIn years back. She was elated and
• 3:23:22
  wore it as a badge of honor. I truly think
• 3:23:24
  it was. To be associated in any way with such
• 3:23:26
  a prolific personality is truly an honor. He was as
• 3:23:30
  fundamental to her as he has been to me. Rescu-

• 3:24:08
  but some lines of a song come to mind written
• 3:24:11
  by Springsteen before he went off the deep end. It
• 3:24:13
  seems poignant. They say you can't take it with you,
• 3:24:17
  but I think they're wrong because all I know is
• 3:24:19
  I woke up this morning and something big was gone.
• 3:24:22
  Gone into that dark ether where you're still young and
• 3:24:25
  hard and cold, just like when they built you, brother,

  and broke the mold. Now your death is upon us
• 3:24:31
  and will return your ashes to the earth, and I
• 3:24:33
  know you'll take comfort in knowing you've been roundly blessed
• 3:24:35
  and cursed. But love is a power greater than death,
• 3:24:38
  just like songs and stories told. And when she built

  Tierney in Carver, Minnesota, $500. All right. Let me prepare.
• 3:26:55
  Here you go. All right. Two years ago, my brother,
• 3:27:00
  Rob, the constitutional lawyer, called me while I was walking
• 3:27:02
  around the campus of the greatest university on the planet,
• 3:27:04
  Texas A&M. Whoop! Dropping off our youngest for school, he
• 3:27:08
  was actually calling to ask for some job search advice
• 3:27:11
  for a friend, but before he got to that point,
• 3:27:13
  he had to tell me about how he knew her.
• 3:27:15
  As it turns out, this story led straight to no
• 3:27:17
  agenda. Then he asked me, do you remember PC Magazine?
• 3:27:20
  I laughed. Of course I do. The magazine is partly
• 3:27:22
  responsible for the entire direction of my career. From there,
• 3:27:25
  he told me about meeting John and Adam. Before long,
• 3:27:28
  my smoking hot hillbilly husband and I became devoted no-agenda
• 3:27:31
  producers-in-waiting. For the past two years, those six hours a
• 3:27:34
  week have been some of the few moments where the
• 3:27:37
  noise of the world fades away and the common sense
• 3:27:38
  returns. When my brother texted this week to tell me
• 3:27:42
  that John had died, it felt like a punch in
• 3:27:43
  the gut. I've been following John C. Dvorak's work for
• 3:27:46
  more than 30 years. From the PC Magazine days, through
• 3:27:49
  No Agenda, I always assumed there would be time to
• 3:27:51
  meet him someday. And then suddenly, there wasn't. John had
• 3:27:54
  a combination of wit, intelligence, skepticism, and delightful cranky charm
• 3:27:58
  that simply can't be replaced. He taught generations of us
• 3:28:00
  to question narratives, think independently, and never lose our sense
• 3:28:03
  of humor while doing it. The donation in John's memory
• 3:28:06
  is officially our dedouching. I've been telling Tom... Oh, you
• 3:28:10
  nailed it! You've been dedouched! You nailed it! I... I...
• 3:28:15
  I... I was delayed, sorry. That's alright. I've been telling
• 3:28:18
  Tom we should become producers ever since we started listening,
• 3:28:21
  but life always seemed to get in the way. If
• 3:28:23
  you realize that's not... I've realized that's not a very
• 3:28:25
  good excuse. If John's passing has reminded me of anything,
• 3:28:27
  it's this. Don't wait! Support the things you value. Tell
• 3:28:30
  people what they mean to you. Make the trip. Give
• 3:28:33
  the donation. Live the life. Thank you, John, for decades
• 3:28:36
  of insight, laughter, and perspective. You left the world sharper
• 3:28:39
  than you found it. Godspeed, John. Rest in peace. Keith

  Sirbig Johnson, Poughkeepsie, New York, $500. Dear Adam and Dvorak
• 3:28:50
  family, been a listener since episode 11. John was the
• 3:28:54
  best. My deepest condolences. I've heard when... I've heard when
• 3:29:00
  an office chair squeaks, a podcaster gets his wings. Then
• 3:29:03
  he had a number of wings. Sort of like biblically
• 3:29:07
  accurate angel wings. Didn't we skip somebody? No, we didn't.
• 3:29:12
  No, we skipped nobody. Oh, okay. I'm out of it.
• 3:29:15
  I'll just go back to being quiet. We're on 41

  now. Okay, thank you. Which is a great name. Great

  Daniels. 422.21 cents. I saw the email notification in the
• 3:29:49
  background while in a virtual meeting and assumed it was
• 3:29:51
  JCD newsletter clickbait. How wrong was I? I was listening
• 3:29:56
  to John's last show before hearing the news last week,
• 3:29:58
  as usual, while working out a remark.
• 3:30:00
  In my head how to show how this show, these
• 3:30:04
  guys, have been part of my life for decades. I'm
• 3:30:06
  53, so Adam on MTV pairing up with a guy
• 3:30:09
  I had been reading since the 6th grade in PC
• 3:30:11
  Magazine. I started listening to No Agenda in episode 1.
• 3:30:15
  I was there from the beginning, hearing about it first
• 3:30:17
  on Twit. Christian Hartsock, former Project Veritas chief investigative reporter
• 3:30:21
  and the man behind the Noodle Boy story, called me
• 3:30:24
  and asked, have you heard the news? Devastated. No jingles,
• 3:30:27
  just karma. Love you Adam and Tina. Me, me and
• 3:30:30
  family mean it. I hope you can find ways to
• 3:30:32
  keep it going. We're here. No agenda nation. Many more
• 3:30:35
  years. I'll take it away. Yeah. The Cohan's with $421.10.
• 3:30:46
  Hi, Adam and team. I'm so sorry for your loss.
• 3:30:49
  In remembrance of John, I thought you might like to
• 3:30:52
  hear how No Agenda, especially John as a fellow Bay
• 3:30:55
  Area resident, played a part in our love story. When
• 3:30:58
  my husband Josh and I started dating during COVID, our
• 3:31:01
  first real test of compatibility was sharing our favorite podcasts.
• 3:31:06
  I, a reformed, angry New Yorker, Glass and Renee Brown,
• 3:31:14
  who told stories of humanity and perseverance. Josh, on the
• 3:31:19
  other hand, a represented agitator at heart, raised on a
• 3:31:23
  strict Bay Area diet of good vibes only, listened to
• 3:31:26
  you, Adam and John, who always seemed to be yelling
• 3:31:29
  loudly about corruption everywhere. I get it. You can't trust
• 3:31:33
  anyone. It just wasn't for me. Adam's voice raised my
• 3:31:37
  cortisol levels. John was slightly easier on the ears. I
• 3:31:41
  mostly listened just to connect with Josh, with whom I
• 3:31:44
  was slowly growing to love. Over the years, though, I
• 3:31:47
  grew to genuinely appreciate the show. Hell, even Adam's voice
• 3:31:51
  grew on me. But for Josh, this show became a
• 3:31:53
  significant part of his support system during the hardest period
• 3:31:56
  in his life. Brutal divorce and custody battle. Stressful career.
• 3:32:01
  Josh and I come from vastly different worlds. On paper,
• 3:32:06
  we're not compatible. And our relationship was strained for many
• 3:32:09
  reasons, but our mutual love and respect grew stronger as
• 3:32:12
  we learned about each other. And your show was a
• 3:32:15
  major factor in propelling our relationship forward. Listening, pausing, talking,
• 3:32:20
  listening again to your voices made us realize that our
• 3:32:23
  compatibility wasn't in identical backgrounds or viewpoints, but rather in
• 3:32:28
  our willingness to engage in hard conversations and lovingly challenge
• 3:32:31
  each other's perceived belief system. And that has become a
• 3:32:36
  building block in our marriage today. Ira Glass sure as
• 3:32:39
  hell didn't help us grow as a couple. And for
• 3:32:43
  that, I am forever grateful. We will miss you, John.
• 3:32:46
  Adam, you got this. Much love and respect. The Cohands.

  F cancer. You've got karma. Robert Roberts from Grants Pass,
• 3:33:13
  Oregon, with a $388.88 donation. I was first introduced to
• 3:33:19
  the show by Brian the Drunk Millennial back in 2015.
• 3:33:22
  He used to say, you have to listen to three
• 3:33:25
  shows to get into it, and that was true for
• 3:33:27
  me. I used to only catch drips and drops riding
• 3:33:32
  in the truck with Brian, but one day I started
• 3:33:34
  on my own, and then I was hooked. Been here
• 3:33:37
  ever since, and I'm so thankful. When I saw the
• 3:33:40
  newsletter title, I thought it was one of John's clever
• 3:33:43
  ploys. Wow, man. I had missed the newsletter when it
• 3:33:46
  came out. Yeah, we tricked them all. I had missed
• 3:33:49
  the newsletter when it came out as I worked a
• 3:33:52
  long day in the woods out. of service and I
• 3:33:55
  saw it at 3:30 in the morning while having my
• 3:33:59
  morning coffee. When I opened it and saw the photo
• 3:34:02
  of John, that sense of dread welled up and when
• 3:34:05
  I read them in memoriam, I was gutted. I seldom
• 3:34:08
  cry, but the rendition of "I'm gonna miss you in
• 3:34:11
  the morning" last show got me. You two have been
• 3:34:14
  with me for timber cruising the redwoods, hours of making
• 3:34:17
  timber and laying out harvests until across California, surveying plantations
• 3:34:23
  in Oregon, and long drives across the western states. Wow.
• 3:34:40
  Seedlings. wanted to get there and with this donation I
• 3:35:00
  finally reached knighthood a day late and a thousand of
• 3:35:03
  dollars short of what real value for value would be
• 3:35:07
  I would like to be certain man morning night was
• 3:35:11
  morning spelt with you. For the roundtable, could you order
• 3:35:14
  up John's favorite? Y'all have always been in my prayers
• 3:35:18
  and even more so lately. I'm sorry for the rambling.
• 3:35:21
  I guess I just don't know how to put all
• 3:35:23
  of these thoughts and feelings together. In the morning, and
• 3:35:27
  thank you for your courage, Robert Roberts. Sir Chris and
• 3:35:31
  Dame Kristen of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. For the $388.88 donation, dear
• 3:35:38
  Adam, Mimi, and family, Dame Kristen and I are shocked
• 3:35:41
  and saddened by the news of John's passing. Like so
• 3:35:44
  many in No Agenda community, we can't believe he's gone.
• 3:35:47
  We are honored to- We are honored to have been.
• 3:35:51
  executive producers of the show for over over the years
• 3:35:55
  going back to 2014. Since we began listening around 2010,
• 3:35:59
  John has been a regular voice in our lives. He
• 3:36:01
  changed us to think more critically, question the mainstream media,
• 3:36:05
  and approach the world with a healthy dose of skepticism
• 3:36:08
  and humor. When Adam and John came down on opposite
• 3:36:11
  sides of an issue, those discussions often sparked more spirited
• 3:36:15
  debate between us as well. Overall, we're just better grounded
• 3:36:19
  in reality. Our hearts go out to Mimi, the family,
• 3:36:23
  and everyone close to John. We hope that in days
• 3:36:26
  ahead, there is some comfort in knowing just how many
• 3:36:30
  people he touched and lives he influenced. Long live John
• 3:36:33

  I stumbled upon No Agenda in early 2020, and it
• 3:37:21
  has been nothing short of life-changing for me and my
• 3:37:24
  family. John Hennis always reminded me of my father-in-law. Me
• 3:37:28
  too. And I was gutted to hear the news of
• 3:37:31
  his passing. My sincere condolences. Sending love and light. Jeffrey

• 3:37:45
  I actually don't know if I can see this whole
• 3:37:47
  thing, Adam. Oh, I'll do it. It's too big for
• 3:37:50
  the spreadsheet. It's blowing out the spreadsheet. I'll do it.
• 3:37:52
  No problem. Dear Adam, thank you for taking the time
• 3:37:55
  to read my note on Thursday's show. He's coming back.
• 3:37:57
  It's 350.93. I was still in a state of shock
• 3:38:00
  when I wrote it, so it was very brief. After
• 3:38:02
  hearing so many wonderful notes on episode 1888, I wanted
• 3:38:05
  to take another shot at it. I first started listening
• 3:38:07
  to No Agenda back in the COVID days. I was
• 3:38:09
  confused and frustrated by our response to the virus, as
• 3:38:12
  it didn't make any sense. me and hearing your takes
• 3:38:15
  on Rogan convinced me to give the show a listen.
• 3:38:18
  I finally fell in love with No Agenda. The format
• 3:38:21
  of the show, the way the news was deconstructed, the
• 3:38:23
  fun jingles, the whole presentation was amazing and I've been
• 3:38:26
  a loyal listener since. But I must admit, while I
• 3:38:29
  came for Adam Curry, I stayed for John T. Dvorak.
• 3:38:32
  I didn't know about his full career before I started
• 3:38:34
  listening, but I loved his deep knowledge of tech and
• 3:38:37
  politics. His snarky comments always made me laugh and his
• 3:38:41
  fun stories, experiences and insights great to hear. In fact,
• 3:38:45
  the font of this email is Georgia, one that John
• 3:38:48
  recommended. Every episode, I look forward to whatever smart-ass comment
• 3:38:52
  John would have chambered, knowing it would make me smile.
• 3:38:55
  Thank you so much, Adam, for introducing him to me.
• 3:38:58
  Whenever I hear some news model or talk show guest
• 3:39:00
  talk about how horrible it would be in the U.S.
• 3:39:02
  if the U.S. didn't fund some BS program, I'll hear
• 3:39:05
  John sarcastically screaming, oh no, in the background. Whenever I
• 3:39:10
  hear some tech CEO claiming that their new product will
• 3:39:13
  change the human race forever, I'll think of John saying,
• 3:39:17
  I'm smelling ketamine. I'll be thinking of John when I
• 3:39:20
  watch Sumo, wondering if he would be happy that Aokinishi-ki
• 3:39:25
  has regained his Ozeki title. I think he would be.
• 3:39:29
  My family and I moved to Osaka, Japan about a
• 3:39:32
  year and a half ago. Disconnecting from the U.S. corporate
• 3:39:34
  media and social media in general has shrunk my amygdala
• 3:39:37
  to the perfect size. Listening to No Agenda regularly would
• 3:39:40
  get me the real news coming out of the States,
• 3:39:44
  the media deconstruction continues in some form. I can't think
• 3:39:48
  of anyone who does it better than you. I will
• 3:39:50
  be supporting you the entire way. My deepest condolences to
• 3:39:53
  you, the Dvorak family, and everyone affected by his loss.
• 3:39:56
  Thank you for the years of insights and laughter. John,
• 3:39:58
  I wish it could have been me.
• 3:40:00
  More. Augusto Andreoli, $350.93. Now, ITM Adam, Mimi, everyone, my
• 3:40:07
  heartfelt condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. Come on,
• 3:40:11
  JCD, this was not the exit strategy we wanted. Adam,
• 3:40:15
  your opening monologue brought me to tears. Feels like I
• 3:40:17
  lost a grandfather. In the past two years, you guys
• 3:40:20
  have become part of my life with weekly news and
• 3:40:22
  silly humor. This donation of $333.33 plus fees makes me
• 3:40:27
  a knight, Sir Britalian. No requests, only the prayers jingle
• 3:40:31
  for us all. Long live John C. Dvorak. to call
• 3:40:36
  bull crap on the m5m and he finishes with thank
• 3:40:40
  you for your courage and i have the The prayers
• 3:40:44
  jingle for you. Here we go. You've got it. Prayers.
• 3:40:55
  Russian Card Trick Guy, 35093. Hey, Adabin, everyone. My sincerest
• 3:41:00
  condolences for the heavy loss of an incredible man. Your
• 3:41:03
  show and John were an amazing and calming influence throughout
• 3:41:06
  my life. The stories, the easygoing attitude of this has
• 3:41:09
  happened before, made the world feel understandable. My wife, who
• 3:41:13
  occasionally listens, loved John's stories, reactions, and quips to the
• 3:41:17
  point where she was questioning whether she is truly a
• 3:41:20
  cranky old man on the inside. It was a pleasure
• 3:41:23
  to meet John at the Seattle meetup in August 2018.
• 3:41:26
  On the next show, 1059, he referred to me as
• 3:41:29
  the Russian card trick guy, which was hilarious. I will
• 3:41:33
  say it was hard to impress him, even with my
• 3:41:35
  best close-up material, but that was expected for someone with
• 3:41:39
  such incredible life experience as JCD. Donating $333.33, magic number,
• 3:41:44
  plus fees, and would love to be de-douched. You've been
• 3:41:49
  de-douched. And then he asks for also a baby delivery
• 3:41:55
  karma, which we have some baby karma for you here.
• 3:42:01
  You've got... Karma. As my wife and I are having
• 3:42:09
  our second in November, prayers for all, love and light,
• 3:42:11
  the Russian card trick guy. Sir Lavish the Red, Concord,
• 3:42:15
  California, 350.58. We know that's 333 plus fees now. For
• 3:42:19
  some reason, it's different for everybody. Thank you, Adam, Mimi,
• 3:42:21
  family. I send in one clip about the wine, clip
• 3:42:25
  attached, Pinot Grigio. There are many others who sent in
• 3:42:28
  good clips over the years, and I love them. John
• 3:42:30
  is a Bay Area legend. Insanely grateful to know him
• 3:42:32
  and his family. Sir Lavish the Red, and that clip
• 3:42:35
  will be passed on to Darren and Larry for future
• 3:42:37
  shows. Sir Lawrence of Dystopia, Oakland, California, 350. Thank you.
• 3:43:14
  Oh, I'm sure he did. And he didn't share it
• 3:43:16
  with me. I'm also grateful to have had the opportunity
• 3:43:19
  to hoist a few drinks with him and the knowage
• 3:43:21
  in the nation that attended the Northern Silicon Valley meetups.
• 3:43:23
  I will definitely attend the next meetup at Pizzeria Violetta,
• 3:43:26
  come hell, high water, or broken elevators. Lastly, what truly
• 3:43:30
  impressed me about John, in addition to his vast body
• 3:43:33
  of work and natural talent, was his family that he
• 3:43:35
  and Mimi have raised. You guys are like the Von
• 3:43:38
  Trapp family singers. There's a callback. I know that with
• 3:43:42
  the talent of the Dvorak family, and Adam, the No
• 3:43:44
  Agenda podcast will carry on. And he wants some mac
• 3:43:47
  and cheese slaves and ants. Love and light, Sir Lawrence
• 3:43:50

  Juliet Echo. Eric Renaud from Sutton, Massachusetts, 343.75. Godspeed, John.
• 3:44:02
  He says, you will be missed. The Dalton family, Lockwood,
• 3:44:05
  Missouri, 343.75. John was a one of a kind. He
• 3:44:10
  will be deeply missed. Our thoughts go out to his
• 3:44:11
  family. Regards from the Dalton family. Chris and Leslie of
• 3:44:15
  Fluffy Bottoms Farm in Driftwood, Texas, 34375. We read the
• 3:44:20
  news and it hit us like a ton of bricks.
• 3:44:22
  Episode 1888 was a tough listen. Adam, your opening made
• 3:44:26
  us cry. The stories and clips were just what we
• 3:44:29
  needed in this sad, tough time. Others have said this,
• 3:44:33
  but it's crazy how John impacted all of us and
• 3:44:36
  we would weep and feel such a huge loss for
• 3:44:38
  someone that we had never met. We are sending love
• 3:44:41
  and prayers to Mimi, the family, Adam and Tina, We
• 3:44:45
  will miss JCD but feel so blessed and lucky to
• 3:44:48
  have decades of great memories through his writing and podcast.
• 3:44:51
  Love from Chris and Leslie of Fluffy Bottoms Farm in
• 3:44:54
  Driftwood, Texas. Grant Shuler in Cincinnati, Ohio, 343.75. I'm so
• 3:45:00
  glad I was hit in the mouth with this podcast
• 3:45:02
  and have learned a ton while listening over the past
• 3:45:05
  six years. Thank you, JCD. You the man, dog. And
• 3:45:09
  I'll read this one from Sean C. Ryan of Volente,
• 3:45:13
  Texas. Another war and peace, but... is good. As a
• 3:45:19
  proud No Agenda show producer and family member coming up
• 3:45:23
  on a year, I've been struggling with much grief since
• 3:45:25
  learning of John C. Dvorak's passing earlier this week. God,
• 3:45:28
  I miss him. His reason, wisdom, biting wit, dry acerbic
• 3:45:32
  humor, experienced hardened insights, consistent grousing, unbridled skepticism, and curmudgeonly
• 3:45:39
  demeanor. All those prickly idiosyncrasies, he gracefully filled the role
• 3:45:44
  of a sensible contrarian, a true grouchy gentleman and scholar.
• 3:45:48
  My sincere condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with Dvorak and
• 3:45:51
  Curry families and with the broader No Agenda producer community.
• 3:45:54
  I consider all of you my first responders. I shackle
• 3:45:58
  myself to every show and wait each week with bated
• 3:46:00
  breath for the next episodes. JC and Adam formed a
• 3:46:03
  duo unmatched in the mainstream media. Their quibbling, banter, and
• 3:46:07
  jocularity is deliciously entertaining while delivering thought-provoking MSM deconstruction. This
• 3:46:14
  is why the No Agenda show is the greatest podcast
• 3:46:17
  in the universe. it going. The news of JCD's passing
• 3:46:21
  was communicated to me by my 25-year-old Gen Z son,
• 3:46:25
  my only child, via text on Tuesday. My first thought,
• 3:46:29
  really my hope, was that it might be some gambit
• 3:46:31
  and atomism cooked up by JCD to boost donations. I
• 3:46:35
  so deeply wish that was true. I called my son
• 3:46:38
  later that day to talk about what this loss meant
• 3:46:40
  to both of us. He told me that he had
• 3:46:42
  recently begun listening to every No Agenda episode from the
• 3:46:44
  very first one, simply because he wanted to be entertained
• 3:46:48
  in enlightened by the full breadth of the Noah Jenner
• 3:46:50
  Show podcast in all the varied and sundry episodes. I'm
• 3:46:53
  truly proud of this fine young lad. At the risk
• 3:46:57
  of arousing JCD's legendary buzz-killing grousing, I'll add two brief
• 3:47:01
  personal notes. First, after hearing him and Adam question why
• 3:47:04
  Texans preferred Keb Paxson over John Cornyn, I emailed John
• 3:47:09
  with boots-on-the-ground insight explaining why most sensible Texans found Cornyn
• 3:47:14
  a proven rhino and were willing to accept Paxson's baggage.
• 3:47:18
  What politician doesn't have some? They shipped... Excuse me. They
• 3:47:25
  shifted their stance in the next show. Maybe I played
• 3:47:28
  a small part, maybe not. Either way, it felt like
• 3:47:30
  a contribution. Second, I recently sent JCD a LinkedIn request,
• 3:47:35
  half expecting no reply from someone of his stature. He
• 3:47:38
  accepted on July 16th, 2026, only 10 days before the
• 3:47:42
  news that now compounds my profound sadness. I had hoped
• 3:47:45
  and planned to meet JCD in person one day. I
• 3:47:48
  guess we'll have to wait until I'm on the other
• 3:47:50
  side of the pearly gates with him. and his lovely
• 3:47:54
  keeper, Tina, at a no agenda meetup in Fredericksburg last
• 3:47:57
  April. Rest in peace, John C. Dvorak, JCD. I see
• 3:48:01
  an M dash there, suspicious. Legendary buzzkill, a good sir.
• 3:48:05
  He wants an F cancer. With much love and admiration,
• 3:48:10
  ITM from the Gitmo Nation and beyond, Sean C. Ryan
• 3:48:13
  of Volente. And I got the F cancer for him.
• 3:48:21
  You've got karma. JC, you want to take over? Thomas
• 3:48:25
  Schaefer. Unknown location. $333.80. Thanks for all the times you
• 3:48:31
  literally made me laugh out loud, not to mention think
• 3:48:34
  more critically. I've been listening since I finished college in
• 3:48:37
  09 and knew a day like this would come, but
• 3:48:40
  not that the hole would be this deep. Rest in
• 3:48:42
  peace, John. Viscount Dame G Money. $333.33. I feel like
• 3:48:50
  I've lost my cranky grandpa. My favorite jingle will forever
• 3:48:53
  be John Grussing about how the only real phone is
• 3:48:55
  a landline and it's made of Bakelite. Rest in peace,
• 3:48:58
  JCD. Love is lit. Luca Dusak in Bastanj, Slovenia, I
• 3:49:07
  suspect. Rest in peace, legend. Andrew O'Donohue, Smeaton. Saskatchewan. Um...
• 3:49:17
  In the morning from Saskatchewan, Canada. I cannot properly put
• 3:49:20
  into words how much Adam and John... through No Agenda
• 3:49:23
  have made a positive impact on my life. I discovered
• 3:49:25
  No Agenda during COVID, and it played a massive role
• 3:49:27
  in helping me maintain my sanity while living in Canada,
• 3:49:30
  where the government went nuts, more so than usual. They
• 3:49:33
  have been my number one listen ever since. The loss
• 3:49:37
  of John is certainly painful. I'll miss hearing him twice
• 3:49:40
  a week. His wit and insight into world affairs complimented
• 3:49:43
  Adam's so well. I pray that Mimi and family will
• 3:49:45
  find some measure of comfort during this time of loss.
• 3:49:48
  Thank you for all that you do to help the
• 3:49:49
  show. Sincerely, Andrew O'Donoghue Sir Wild Bill, Alexandria, Virginia Yeah.
• 3:49:58
  Uh, 333?
• 3:50:00
  33 cents. About John. Temporal separation is temporary. Here's to
• 3:50:04
  our next meetup with John in eternity. Sir Wild Bill,
• 3:50:06
  Liberator of California, Red Knight of the Sacred Heart. God
• 3:50:09
  bless you, John. David Asari, West Hollywood, California. 333.33 cents.
• 3:50:16
  When I read the news about JCD, I thought it
• 3:50:17
  was a sick joke because of the lie about his
• 3:50:19
  age, which I was not aware of. I'll miss him
• 3:50:21
  so much. No homo. Are you able to read this?
• 3:50:28
  I can read this one. It's a nice long one.
• 3:50:30
  Dane Pluma of beautiful Wailea, Hawaii. $333.33. To my No
• 3:50:36
  Agenda Ohana. When work keeps me from listening live to
• 3:50:40
  my bi-weekly media deconstruction from the best podcast in the
• 3:50:43
  universe, I save the entire show for a long walk
• 3:50:45
  by the sea. It is tempting to cheat and start
• 3:50:47
  late at night, but No Agenda is best consumed from
• 3:50:50
  beginning to end, in my personal opinion. So, on the
• 3:50:53
  first Thursday of the week, I woke up ready for
• 3:50:55
  my wisdom fix from the voices of my favorite duo.
• 3:50:58
  Fanny pack secured, I opened fountain. because non-legacy podcast providers
• 3:51:02
  are superior, and pulled up show 1,888. The title was
• 3:51:06
  jarring. That seems a little dark even for John, I
• 3:51:09
  thought. Then I saw the artwork, the candle, the empty
• 3:51:12
  table, the illuminated microphone, the dates. No, no, no. I
• 3:51:15
  crumpled to the floor and stared for an ungodly amount
• 3:51:17
  of time, waiting for my brain to catch up. Like
• 3:51:19
  many, I hoped it was some macabre trick. Eventually, I
• 3:51:23
  mustered the courage to hit play. The tone had shifted.
• 3:51:26
  Something, someone was missing. The tears poured out of me.
• 3:51:29
  I picked myself up and walked into the sunlight. As
• 3:51:31
  the voices, stories, jingles, and memories continued, so did I.
• 3:51:34
  The sky looked brighter. The ocean looked deeper. The world
• 3:51:37
  felt quieter. John, I could fill pages with what you
• 3:51:41
  taught me, how hard you made me laugh, and how
• 3:51:44
  much better I am because of the years spent listening
• 3:51:46
  to you. Instead, I offer your soaring spirit, your tremendous
• 3:51:49
  family, Adam and Olive Gitmo Nation, the Hawaiian prayer of
• 3:51:53
  Ho'oponopono. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I
• 3:51:57
  love you. The only downer is that I will never
• 3:51:59
  hear you suffer through the Hawaiian pronunciation, which is identical
• 3:52:02
  to Spanish. And frankly, you were terrible at it. Adam
• 3:52:06
  has an excuse, but John, you're from California. In parting,
• 3:52:08
  I want you to know from the bottom of my
• 3:52:10
  heart, this is hurting the show. Yours, in past, present,
• 3:52:14
  and future, Dame Pluma, Protectorate of the Feathered Whales, PhD,
• 3:52:18
  Wailea, Maui, Hawaii. Hey, JC, I really want to fix
• 3:52:23
  your audio because it's just bugging the crap out of
• 3:52:25
  me. Oh, no, what's going on right now? Well, it
• 3:52:27
  was so good before, but now you have like no
• 3:52:29
  level and it sounds really indirect. Are you on the
• 3:52:32
  right mic? You're sure you're on the right one? seeing
• 3:52:36
  if I just need to reposition it. How's that? Yeah,
• 3:52:38
  can you turn it up a little bit? Uh, yeah,
• 3:52:41
  let me try that. Includes your gain, man. How's that?
• 3:52:47
  Yeah, and I hear like a fan still somewhere. There's
• 3:52:50
  no fan now. But I could rock the chair some
• 3:52:55
  more. Yeah, please. That would help. That's better, JC. That's
• 3:52:58
  better. All right, it's better? Yeah, even a little more
• 3:53:02
  would be good for me. More. More! More! More! More!
• 3:53:08
  I want more! Let me see what I get in
• 3:53:10
  the back of this thing. No, this one kind of
• 3:53:13
  sucks. I'm going to get one of the microphones from
• 3:53:16
  the archives and swap it out for next show. Okay,
• 3:53:19
  good. All right. Well, let me continue while you fix
• 3:53:23
  that. Corey Baker, Fort Myers, Florida. And JC, mute yourself
• 3:53:28
  when you're not on so I don't have the background
• 3:53:29
  noise. Yeah. you all right go Brennan so bossy hey
• 3:53:38
  it's like he thinks he's in charge We're not AV
• 3:53:48
  people. People actually listen to these things all the way
• 3:53:51
  through, so I want them to have the best experiences
• 3:53:53
  I can give them. Okay. Corey Baker from Fort Myers,
• 3:53:58
  Florida. $333.33. I've been in a melancholy daze since hearing
• 3:54:05
  of John's passing. This show has been an anchor in
• 3:54:08
  my life since 2012, and for that I am eternally
• 3:54:10
  grateful. Adam and John have gotten me through some of
• 3:54:14
  the hardest times of my life. I rebuilt our home
• 3:54:18
  after a hurricane, Ian, with your voices in my ears.
• 3:54:22
  I lost my father a year ago, and No Agenda
• 3:54:24
  was there with me for the road trip back to
• 3:54:27
  our hometown. My heart goes out to the Dvorak and
• 3:54:30
  Curry families and to the rest of No Agenda Nation.
• 3:54:33
  RIP JCD. Godspeed. Commodore Corey. Jean-Pierre Codiguil from Sao Paulo,
• 3:54:42
  Spain. No, it's Brazil. I just don't know any of
• 3:54:45
  the states in Brazil. In the morning, please de-douche me
• 3:54:50
  as this is just my second donation since I found
• 3:54:53
  out the best podcast in the universe through your appearance
• 3:54:56
  on the Tom Woods Show back in 2020 during the
• 3:55:00
  COVID craziness. You've been de-douched. Sending condolences to you, Mimi,
• 3:55:09
  and the No Agenda family on the loss of John.
• 3:55:12
  Thank you both for everything over the years. Long live
• 3:55:15
  the show. Sir John of South London from London, which
• 3:55:19
  is in London in Great Britain. With $333.33, dear Adam,
• 3:55:25
  Mimi, and the Dvorak clan, I first came across John
• 3:55:28
  on The Sight, which aired on MSNBC in the mid-90s.
• 3:55:33
  I've kept track of his various pieces of work, spanning
• 3:55:35
  PCMag, Cranky Geeks, Twit, and of course, No Agenda. 30
• 3:55:40
  years is a long time when I look back. changed
• 3:55:43
  house many a time and even changed nationalities. When I
• 3:55:47
  received last week's newsletter informing us of JCD's untimely passing
• 3:55:52
  away, I thought it was his latest and Puppy's ruse.
• 3:55:58
  Sadly, as I continued reading the email, it was no
• 3:56:02
  joke. It feels like a part of my life has
• 3:56:04
  gone away, but I've got the memories to keep JCD
• 3:56:07
  alive. I will fondly remember JCD's visit to London in
• 3:56:12
  2017. I've attached a photo to share with you and
• 3:56:15
  the Dvorak family to boot. Here's one of you when
• 3:56:19
  you were here in London in 2018. Oh, goodness, yes.
• 3:56:24
  Oh, my goodness. theme. RIP JCD, you are one of
• 3:56:30
  a kind, a real cranky, but absolutely endearing gink. With
• 3:56:35
  the deepest condolences, regards, Sir John of South London. Sir

• 3:56:50
  Baronet of Alameda. Oh, wow. Oh, Baronet of Alameda, the
• 3:56:54
  islands. RIP JCD, thank you for all you've given me.
• 3:56:58
  over the past six years. I will deeply miss our
• 3:57:00
  meetup conversations about numerology and that kids can't read tape
• 3:57:05
  measures. The lens you've given me will be a tool
• 3:57:09
  I use for the rest of my life. I will
• 3:57:11
  miss you at least twice a week and every time
• 3:57:13
  I eat nuts on an airplane. I used to carry
• 3:57:16
  bags of nuts when I traveled just in case I
• 3:57:18
  sat down next to JCD on a plane. I will
• 3:57:21
  pray that we finish our conversation about banning peanuts on
• 3:57:24
  airplanes when we meet again upstairs. A final favor from
• 3:57:27
  the nation. to create a giant photo collage for the
• 3:57:30

• 3:58:20
  of low donations, John never hesitated to call producers out
• 3:58:23
  on it. Each time my eyes would roll and I'd
• 3:58:26
  think to myself, here comes JCD whining. What I would
• 3:58:30
  give to hear his belly aching again. RIP JCDs or

  $333.33. I know this letter will find you well. Only
• 3:59:02
  Bakelite's where you are now. You have been pissing me
• 3:59:05
  off since the back pages of PC World. Then, years
• 3:59:09
  later, I found you joyously killing the buzz twice a
• 3:59:12
  week. Expertly done. Rest knowing you will never have to
• 3:59:16
  dedouche another. Adam, I am so sorry you are left
• 3:59:19
  with a burden, but it is time to de-douche high
• 3:59:23
  test. You've been de-douched. Also, Adam, you will need to
• 3:59:31
  continue to investigate and report on the oral contents of
• 3:59:35
  the others. Oh, okay. More... Right. Yeah, what's in your
• 3:59:39
  mouth? More, more years. What is that? Yak karma, please.
• 3:59:46
  Oh, yak karma. Hold on a second. Where's my yak
• 3:59:49
  karma? Here we go. You've got... karma.
• 4:00:00
  And then this one, it's too big. I'm so sorry.
• 4:00:03
  No, no, I got it. It's from the Duke of
• 4:00:05
  the South, Sir Patrick Coble. Happy to read it. Okay.
• 4:00:09
  Howdy again to the Dvorak clan and Adam. You know,
• 4:00:11
  Patrick Coble has been such a staple of the show
• 4:00:14
  and the meetups in particular everywhere around the world. I
• 4:00:18
  wanted to make sure I sent one last note because
• 4:00:20
  John always knew people are behind on the newsletters and
• 4:00:22
  spam monster eats emails, so you have to stretch the
• 4:00:25
  promos out a bit. Y'all did an amazing job with
• 4:00:28
  the show 1888. He would be proud of all you
• 4:00:31
  did to team up and get through everything. And he
• 4:00:34
  would have had a grin a couple of times with
• 4:00:37
  all the good things being said about him. No agenda
• 4:00:40
  and their favorite John moments. I talked to many people
• 4:00:43
  after and everyone said it was like we were all
• 4:00:45
  at a celebration of life together with a family and
• 4:00:48
  feeling like we were part of that family too. But
• 4:00:50
  when Raven came out of Club 33, I knew it
• 4:00:54
  was going to be a great show along with some
• 4:00:56
  of the celebrities. appearances too. Yes, we had billionaires, millionaires,
• 4:00:59
  and paupers. It was great. After that show, I thought
• 4:01:03
  about a saying that Adam and I have heard a
• 4:01:05
  lot in our church circles that was brought out on
• 4:01:07
  the show a couple times after Adam came back to
• 4:01:09
  the church. I was never there. There are no coincidences
• 4:01:13
  in the kingdom. After hearing the last show, I couldn't
• 4:01:16
  agree with it anymore. We are all here at this
• 4:01:18
  moment because of a huge series of events in our
• 4:01:20
  own journeys in our lives. Some roads were longer and
• 4:01:23
  windier, and the number of bumps varied too, but we
• 4:01:27
  are here now. The tech that came out over the
• 4:01:31
  years that John criticized but also loved is a major
• 4:01:33
  part of what No Agenda Nation is here. Podcasting can
• 4:01:36
  be attributed to the podfather himself, Adam Curry, not to
• 4:01:40
  be confused with Adam Carolla, a radio and music nerd
• 4:01:43
  who was on the internet the same time John was,
• 4:01:45
  but going after other dreams with websites until he asked
• 4:01:49
  Dave Weiner to modify RSS architecture so large audio files
• 4:01:53
  could attach to web feeds. And with the help of
• 4:01:55
  some other nerds, we now have podcasting. Adam didn't stop
• 4:01:58
  there. going, decentralizing to protect it from censorship. Who would
• 4:02:03
  have thought a pirate radio kid turned nerd would help
• 4:02:06
  come up with podcasting, the exact medium that he would
• 4:02:08
  meet his best friend turned brother, John C. Dvorak. The
• 4:02:12
  same technology that John reviewed over the years was used
• 4:02:15
  to record and stream all those shows all over the
• 4:02:18
  world. John and Adam are true podcasting superheroes for the
• 4:02:22
  whole world. Things happen exactly like they were supposed to
• 4:02:25
  make Noah Gendon Nation happen. There are no coincidences in
• 4:02:28
  the kingdom. I'm thankful Adam's work with Curry and the
• 4:02:31
  Keeper and with Pastor Jimmy on We Get to Do
• 4:02:33
  This and his work to build the Godcaster app is
• 4:02:36
  bringing more people to the church. Thank you. Sorry, John,
• 4:03:13
  again, two long notes in a row. Psalm 34, 18.
• 4:03:17
  The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those
• 4:03:20
  who are crushed in spirit. Thank you, Sir Patrick. Bill
• 4:03:26
  Defy from San Francisco, California, 33333. Listener since episode one.
• 4:03:31
  Please accept this de-douching ketchup donation. You've been de-douched. Thank
• 4:03:38
  you, John, for all the years of wit and wisdom.
• 4:03:40
  You'll forever be remembered and missed. Condolences to the family
• 4:03:43
  of ITM forever. Abnonimous from Neoshow, Wisconsin, 33333. Dear Adam
• 4:03:50
  and Mimi, according to my accounting, I reached knight status
• 4:03:53
  a couple of months ago and did not realize that
• 4:03:55
  this donation brings me halfway to baronet. I'm sending you
• 4:03:59
  all my deepest, most sincere condolences for the sudden loss
• 4:04:01
  of JCD. My No Agenda journey began after watching Adam
• 4:04:05
  on JRE during the COVID madness. I listened to one
• 4:04:08
  episode of No Agenda and I was hooked. I'm thankful
• 4:04:11
  for the never-ending well of stories and wisdom that John
• 4:04:13
  shared week after week. Thank you, Adam. Thank you, John.
• 4:04:36
  M- again. it revolved around an argument between Adam and
• 4:04:48
  John about recycling content. Oh no! Mommy and Daddy are
• 4:04:52
  fighting again! Love and light, Adam, Mimi, and the JCD
• 4:04:55
  family. You are all in my prayers. P.S. I don't
• 4:04:58
  think I ever received a proper dedouching, so please dedouche
• 4:05:01
  me. as done moments ago. Please knight me, Sir Ollie,
• 4:05:04
  of the effervescent quality, asking for the prayers jingle and
• 4:05:08
  some Costco wine for the round table. It cuts off
• 4:05:11
  on mine. Is there anything else besides the Costco wine
• 4:05:13
  on the round table? Is that it? I think we're
• 4:05:17
  good. Here we go. You've got it. prayers. And there's
• 4:05:24
  Sir Johnny B. Goode. I haven't heard from him in
• 4:05:27
  a while. 333.33. Ah, I know who he is. Adam,
• 4:05:30
  Mimi, and Company. Of course I know who Sir Johnny
• 4:05:33
  B. Goode is. We continue to feel great sadness about
• 4:05:36
  JCD's passing. We are sorry for the gaping hole in
• 4:05:39
  your lives and are praying God's peace, which passes all
• 4:05:42
  understanding for all y'all. While I contributed to the last
• 4:05:46
  show, this additional donation is meant to affirm all JCD's
• 4:05:50
  contributions to our lives these past years, you in the
• 4:05:54
  days ahead for now add another executive producer title for
• 4:05:57
  me thank you for your courage may you stay strong
• 4:06:00
  and one wavering unwavering sir johnny be good enough of
• 4:06:04
  the rockies aka one of the focus guys thank you
• 4:06:07
  john Sir Eric is naked, Seattle, Washington, 33333. In the
• 4:06:13
  morning, OU, I had the pleasure of meeting fellow producers
• 4:06:16
  at the Snoqualmie Valley Dvorak Remember Meetup in North Bend,
• 4:06:22
  Washington, Saturday afternoon. We were caught up in sharing our
• 4:06:25
  stories, how we found No Agenda, and honoring John with
• 4:06:28
  our favorite quotes and sayings. We neglected to record a
• 4:06:30
  report we would never have met if not for the
• 4:06:33
  No Agenda community. Semper Fi, No Agenda family, Sir Eric
• 4:06:37
  is naked. Barron Sir Goodfellow, Orlando, Florida, 33333. Holy crap
• 4:06:43
  is all I could say after Wednesday, the newsletter. Adam,
• 4:06:45
  Mimi, and family, I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. Listening
• 4:06:49
  to 1888 has helped me formulate a small way how
• 4:06:52
  I can say thank you for being there during the
• 4:06:54
  millions of pounds lifted, the thousands of miles run, the
• 4:06:58
  dozens of countries visited, multiple houses renovated, three kids reared,
• 4:07:02
  and thankfully only one wife. Listening since 2009, coming from
• 4:07:06
  Twit and leaving when John did. say this is the
• 4:07:09
  only podcast I have listened to every week for more
• 4:07:12
  than 33% of my life. It's for me. It's formed
• 4:07:16
  my thought and actions and saved my mind more times
• 4:07:19
  than I can count. The interview John did with Bob
• 4:07:22
  Heil all those years ago was of tremendous value to
• 4:07:24
  me and gave me a glimpse of where the industry
• 4:07:27
  I work in, touring and events, came from. I've always
• 4:07:30
  remembered that and thought of it fondly. I look forward
• 4:07:32
  to the next chapter as John's legacy lives on, and
• 4:07:35
  so my wife can ask, what did the no-agenda folk
• 4:07:38
  have to say about that whatever thing she saw online?
• 4:07:41
  This note is too long already, but making shorter didn't
• 4:07:44
  seem possible. No jingles, no karma. Barron Sir Goodfellow. Adam
• 4:07:48
  Harper, Savannah, Georgia, 33333. John and Adam, thank you for
• 4:07:52
  the countless hours of entertainment that you have provided, as
• 4:07:55
  well as the much-needed sanity you gave us during those
• 4:07:57
  COVID years. Not sure we would have survived without you.
• 4:08:01
  John was one of a kind and will be greatly
• 4:08:03
  missed. I'll get the next one with Manuka Gold. From
• 4:08:08
  the Manuka Gold family to the entire No Agenda team,
• 4:08:12
  all weekend we've been talking with our No Agenda customers
• 4:08:16
  who are feeling this great loss of John, and we
• 4:08:18
  agree. Thursday's show was so inspiring and positive. Thank you
• 4:08:22
  for all you do. John finally got around to trying
• 4:08:25
  the Manuka Gold. He did. And he loved it. He
• 4:08:29
  was like, oh, this is actually really good. So I
• 4:08:33
  had to throw that in. Let me, I'll get, I've
• 4:08:36
  been really quiet, so let me get a few. Sir
• 4:08:39
  Chris of the Harp Husbands, Streamwood, Illinois. 33333. Dear Adam
• 4:08:46
  and Mimi, I just learned this morning of John's passing.
• 4:08:51
  I've been out of the news since I'm caring for
• 4:08:53
  my 88-year-old mother. She beat John by eight years. I
• 4:08:58
  have no words. I haven't even finished Sunday's show yet.
• 4:09:02
  Most sincerely, with the deepest condolences, Chris Keller, Streamwood, Illinois.
• 4:09:07
  Sir Chris of the Harp Husbands. Baronet Sir Adam of...

  Timreel? Maybe? Tamriel? Tamriel. Tamriel. Derby, Derbyshire, Great Britain. 333

  for JCD. Use this in any way that helps most.
• 4:09:24
  Well, nothing's going to help him now, but I appreciate
• 4:09:26
  it. It'll help you. And Adam. Baronet Sir Adam of
• 4:09:31
  Tamriel. Tamriel. Whatever. Jeremy Meha. Mi eija? Mi hija. Wayne,
• 4:09:41
  Michigan. In the morning, douche, and that's with a U,
• 4:09:44
  morning, douchebag removal service is needed. You've been de-douched. Gotta
• 4:09:51
  remove. Gotta remove. Yep, it's removed. Sadly, it looks like
• 4:09:56
  John found his exit plan. Our deepest condolences to the...
• 4:10:00
  Dvorak family and No Agenda community. Sir Dame Donkey Puncher.
• 4:10:04
  I like that. Yorkville, Illinois. Sir and Dame Donkey Puncher
• 4:10:12
  here. We really miss John. Our condolences to the Dvoraks,
• 4:10:16
  Adam and Andrew. Since John can't complain, we can... Yeah,
• 4:10:21
  yeah. I will squeak. John's chair gently squeaks. Yeah, well,
• 4:10:25
  it doesn't gently squeak. I've been hearing from everybody. Yes,
• 4:10:29
  yes. I would have oiled it, but I think people
• 4:10:33
  would have gotten mad at me. No, no, no, you
• 4:10:34
  can't do that. I'm gonna pour out some Kirkland Bordeaux
• 4:10:38
  for my homie. Rest in peace, John. Sir Euchre, Matthews,
• 4:10:44
  North Carolina. Rest in peace, JCD. Thank you for your
• 4:10:47
  courage and amazing sense of humor. Your light will be
• 4:10:50
  missed by us all. God's peace upon the Dvorak and
• 4:10:53
  Curry families. We love you all. Sir Euchre, Knight of
• 4:10:58
  the Sandy Ridge. Requesting the short I Got Ants and
• 4:11:02
  give it up for Raven Jingles. All will be at
• 4:11:05
  the very end. I'm going to edit all of that
• 4:11:07
  in later. Okay. Uh. list actually. Sir Kevin of Devon,
• 4:11:15
  Gig Harbor, Washington. Ah, Gig Harbor, one of my favorite
• 4:11:17
  places. My journey with No Agenda started with the very
• 4:11:21
  first episode. I was hooked and stayed for the whole
• 4:11:24
  amazing adventure. Like many have said, I knew John from
• 4:11:27
  his columns in PC Magazine and Adam from Headbangers Ball.
• 4:11:31
  At least, I thought I knew them. From the start,
• 4:11:34
  No Agenda felt like close friends talking, and I got
• 4:11:38
  a chance to be part of the group. I learned
• 4:11:40
  the lingo and my life was forever Hmm. He was
• 4:12:01
  wrong about OS2. Yeah, no kidding. In Dvorak predicts in
• 4:12:06
  1995, YouTube channel real boring flips. My ecstasy strategy is
• 4:12:12
  littered with no agenda John-isms and ITM comments. I get
• 4:12:16
  to bring great joy. I cherish my emails with John.
• 4:12:20
  He thoughtfully explained why my idea to give an honorary
• 4:12:23
  knighthood to Larry King was not good for the show.
• 4:12:28
  He convinced me that he really did put that IBM
• 4:12:31
  PS2 computer back together again. No, we don't believe, nobody
• 4:12:35
  believes that. Nobody believes he put that back together. Yeah,
• 4:12:40
  probably not. It's been an emotional week, but I can
• 4:12:43
  lean on the words of Paul in Romans 12, 15.
• 4:12:47
  Rejoice with those. Rejoice with those rejoice. Mourn with those
• 4:12:53
  who mourn. I promise I will continue to do both
• 4:12:55
  for Adam and Andrew, Mimi and the rest of the
• 4:12:58
  Dvorak family, and all of the No Agenda and DH
• 4:13:01
  Unplugged Nation. Rest easy, John. Sir Kevin of Devon, Gig
• 4:13:06
  Harbor, Washington. Sean Smith of Ashland City, Tennessee with $333.
• 4:13:12
  I've been listening since before show number one, way back
• 4:13:16
  to the DSC days. In this almost 20 years, I've
• 4:13:20
  been divorced, remarried, lost both of my parents. Fuck cancer.
• 4:13:25
  And three legit career changes. One thing has stayed the
• 4:13:29
  same every week. Twice a week, I heard Adam and
• 4:13:33
  John's voice. I may have missed a show occasionally, but
• 4:13:36
  I never stopped listening. Thank you for all these years
• 4:13:39
  of keeping me informed, curious, and always smiling. And when
• 4:13:42
  I heard the first notes of On the Seventh Day,
• 4:13:45
  it was a little bittersweet. On that note, at the
• 4:13:49
  very end of the song, the piano plays its final
• 4:13:52
  F major chord and then plays a very soft last
• 4:13:55
  note, the note A, and that chord and the third
• 4:14:00
  note in the scale 33. You had us under mind
• 4:14:05
  control this whole time. Yes, this is the first person
• 4:14:09
  to ever notice that. Wow. Wow. Incredible. 18 years. Wow.
• 4:14:19
  Love y'all. Sean, long-time listener and donor. Colin McCarthy with
• 4:14:25
  333. No location listed. Listening to episode 188, I found
• 4:14:31
  I was not alone in my grief for a man
• 4:14:33
  I'd never met, yet felt so connected to, and while
• 4:14:37
  listening to Mimi talk about the night he passed, I
• 4:14:39
  started to tear up. I've been listening to No Agenda
• 4:14:42
  since 2008, after John's many twit appearances. John and Adam
• 4:14:47
  opened a whole new way of thinking to a 24-year-old
• 4:14:50
  me who was just trying to figure out what the
• 4:14:52
  hell I was doing. Nice. to pay for my lunch
• 4:15:25
  the total was 12.34 that settled it so with this
• 4:15:30
  i want to become sir load neighbor of night loud

  Cancer Karma for everyone who has fought it or lost
• 4:15:49
  someone to it? Thank you for your courage, John, Adam,
• 4:15:53
  Mimi, and the Dvorak clan. P.S. Mimi, I'm excited for
• 4:15:57
  the downstairs stereo pictures, and I hope you can convince
• 4:16:00
  the funeral home to release ants in his honor. So,
• 4:16:04
  Colin, I actually remember seeing all of your checks that
• 4:16:08
  came through, because I always look at them, and I
• 4:16:11
  went, ah, I know the name. So, yes, we will
• 4:16:14
  take pictures. I don't know how fast I'll be. Nag
• 4:16:17

  karma. Well, we got Commodore Sir Matt Wheeler's Hill of
• 4:16:35
  Victoria, Australia. Commodore Sir Matt in Melbourne, Viscount of Victoria,
• 4:16:44
  on the tragic passing of the seer, prognosticator, analysis, and
• 4:16:48
  legend, John C. Dvorak, a producer since the 40s, mid-2008,
• 4:16:53
  I think, and episode since 199, I have not missed
• 4:16:57
  a show in 18 years. It's strange that someone I've
• 4:17:00
  never met and only communicated with through email could have
• 4:17:04
  such an impact on my life. and has now left
• 4:17:07
  a hole. No agenda hit me in the mouth with
• 4:17:10
  the way you both think about the world and how
• 4:17:13
  to make sense of the information that is supplied to
• 4:17:15
  us. Neither of my Thursdays this week will ever be
• 4:17:19
  the same without his voice, but I am forever grateful
• 4:17:22
  for his presence in my life. My love to all
• 4:17:24
  the Dvorak and Curry families, to all of my No
• 4:17:27
  Agenda family members in mourning. The community he helped build
• 4:17:31
  will keep his spirit alive for a long time. With
• 4:17:34
  love, Matt. Dylan Thighs of Valley, Nebraska. My older brother
• 4:17:42
  Troy got me into the show eight years ago. I
• 4:17:45
  tried to never miss an episode. I will miss John.
• 4:17:48
  With this donation, I will reach knighthood. I wish John
• 4:17:52
  could have knighted me. R.I.P. Love, the Noah Genination. Michael
• 4:17:57
  Miller with $304.15. We're out of the 333. I feel
• 4:18:02
  like I've been on a ride for over 18 years
• 4:18:05
  that I never wanted to end. Although the ride may
• 4:18:07
  change, I hope it continues. My deepest condolences to the
• 4:18:11
  Dvorak, Curry, and Horowitz families and to the entire Noah
• 4:18:14
  Gena nation. to 88, plus $88 in fees. Ashley Slater,
• 4:18:22
  Elk River, Minnesota. Yes. In the morning, Adam, friends, family,
• 4:18:28
  and all producers and douchebags, this is a $303.57 donation.
• 4:18:34
  As I listen to the Thursday show, I choke up
• 4:18:36
  and smile and laugh at the notes and memories shared.
• 4:18:39
  What a beautiful tribute to John's spectacular life. We will
• 4:18:42
  be missed, John. You will be missed, John. I had
• 4:18:46
  more to say, but the words aren't wording. I'm sure
• 4:18:48
  John would prefer it that way. Ashley Slater. Ashley, thank
• 4:18:52
  you. Matt from Arkansas with $300. Sorry to hear that
• 4:18:57
  John is now a silent key. Condolences and prayers from
• 4:19:01
  Mimi, Adam, and the rest of the Vorak family. John
• 4:19:04
  will be missed. 73, Matt. 73s. Yeah. Victor from West
• 4:19:10
  Hills, California, with a $300 donation. We wanted to send
• 4:19:14
  our deepest condolences on John's passing. My wife and I
• 4:19:17
  have been listening to John and Adam for well over
• 4:19:20
  a decade, and their conversations have genuinely shaped the way
• 4:19:24
  we think about the world. John's curiosity, wisdom, and perspective
• 4:19:28
  had a lasting impact on us, even from afar. When
• 4:19:31
  we heard the news, we couldn't fall asleep that night.
• 4:19:36
  It was difficult to process. privilege of knowing John personally,
• 4:19:42
  it truly felt like we had lost someone whose voice
• 4:19:45
  had been a meaningful part of our lives for many
• 4:19:47
  years. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.
• 4:19:50
  We're keeping you, your family, and everyone who loved him
• 4:19:54
  in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Karma to
• 4:19:58
  the Dvorak family and Adam.
• 4:20:02
  Hey JC, did you get a new mic working? Does
• 4:20:05
  this sound better? Yes! Oh yeah! Woah! Alright! I'm deaf
• 4:20:10
  now, oh my god! You're out of control, man, you're
• 4:20:13
  out of control! We just did, uh, just did Matt.
• 4:20:23
  Yes, I think so. Victor, West Hills, California. Which I
• 4:20:28
  believe has... At $300, we won a... Can you still
• 4:20:32
  hear me? Yes. It was Matt's turn, actually. Oh, it's
• 4:20:36
  Matt's turn. It's Matt's turn. Yeah. Matt... Which Matt? We
• 4:20:42
  got a couple of Matts. Who's Matt? Wait, what are
• 4:20:47
  we doing? It was Matthew. Oh, Matthew Nicole. Yes. Oh,
• 4:20:52
  little Compton. Little seaside Compton. What is that? Rhode Island?
• 4:20:59
  Where is that? Anyway, $300. I've been a knight for
• 4:21:02
  a decade. The roundtable won't be the same without JCD,
• 4:21:05
  but it must go on. Looking forward to whatever comes
• 4:21:07
  next to keep the roundtable together. Rest in peace, JCD,
• 4:21:10
  T-Y-F-Y-A-C. Thaumonymous in Amos, Pennsylvania. Dear No Agenda family, Tomonymous
• 4:21:18
  here. So sorry for the loss of one of the
• 4:21:20
  greats. I've been listening to No Agenda since show 996.
• 4:21:24
  I never had the chance to meet John, to shake
• 4:21:26
  his hand, and certainly never had a dinner with him.
• 4:21:28
  But it's amazing how someone you never met could literally
• 4:21:31
  feel like a good friend. That's a testament to how
• 4:21:33
  unique, true, and unapologetically real JCD was. I found out
• 4:21:37
  about his passing from a fellow producer, Greg the Welder.
• 4:21:39
  He called me to tell me the news because he
• 4:21:41
  thought it would be better if it came from a
• 4:21:42
  friend than just seeing it on my phone later that
• 4:21:45
  night. John wasn't just some podcaster. He was a friend
• 4:21:48
  to me and millions of others in Gitmo Nation. He
• 4:21:50
  brought great humor, unmatched insight, and bottomless value to all
• 4:21:53
  of us. Now he's partaking in the great sock hop
• 4:21:55
  in the sky. Think of the Dvorak and Curry families.
• 4:21:58
  And for some reason, I can't stop thinking about that
• 4:22:00
  time John had an encounter with a public pooper. Played
• 4:22:03
  that. Played it. Played it. Sir Gordon Walton, Austin, Texas,
• 4:22:09
  $288.88. He is a big-time baron. Mmm. Sir J.C.D., the
• 4:22:16
  world is a little dimmer without you in it. Gordon
• 4:22:18
  Walton, Baron of Melam County. Sir Tigger Max, 288.88 cents.
• 4:22:23
  J.C.D., it's an unfair exit strategy for us, but perhaps
• 4:22:25
  the final bow and your easy chair was your personal
• 4:22:28
  choice. You leave us with heavy hearts and wonderful memories.
• 4:22:32
  ITM bro, sir Tigger Max. Nate Thurman, 288.88. Please accept
• 4:22:37
  this 288.88 donation in honor of JCD. No note in
• 4:22:40
  honor of John. But I do request that SpookyJCD donate
• 4:22:43
  and you slaves can eat mac and cheese. Sending prayers
• 4:22:46
  and love, Nate Thurman at Frodo the letter in boots
• 4:22:49
  on X. Sir Dalton Fisher, 288, 88. ITM, Gitmo Nation.
• 4:22:56
  It's hard to say how much John meant to me.
• 4:22:58
  Truly my perspective on technology, business, politics, media, and so
• 4:23:02
  much more was shaped by JCD. I'm 29 years old
• 4:23:04
  now, and I started listening when I was still in
• 4:23:06
  high school. That is the math, and that means in
• 4:23:08
  total, I have spent a total of about 1.4% of
• 4:23:12
  my entire life with John and Adam in my ears.
• 4:23:15
  To say John made an impact on me is an
• 4:23:17
  understatement. Thank you for your prayers, Buzzkill. You and the
• 4:23:20
  whole Dvorak clan will be in my prayers. For all
• 4:23:23
  your blue-collar video content needs anywhere in the USA, go

• 4:23:31
  be a tax write-off. Godspeed, Sir Dalton Fisher, Commodore of

• 4:23:45
  we get that or not? Let me take a look.
• 4:23:50
  So Oxbridge is the trail capital of Canada. Well, while
• 4:23:53
  you look, I can tell people facts. It's 300 kilometers
• 4:23:56
  of trails for the Oak Ridge Moraine. I do not
• 4:24:00
  have his email, unfortunately. Sorry. The Anne of Green Gables
• 4:24:04
  author lived there. Anyway. Sir Preston, Santa Rosa, California. 288?
• 4:24:10
  88. Words cannot express what I feel, but I have
• 4:24:13
  to blast some out anyway. I've been a 12-12 a
• 4:24:17
  month donor since early 2012. I remember watching JCD on
• 4:24:20
  tech TV in college. I discovered no agenda via twit
• 4:24:24
  barf emoji. JCD, a snarky take on the bull crap
• 4:24:28
  that was covered was why I kept turning in, tuning
• 4:24:30
  in. Luckily, his plugs for the No Agenda show led
• 4:24:33
  me to the light. Also props to Adam for whipping
• 4:24:35
  out his piece on the air. That's what got me
• 4:24:38
  fired from ever being on Twit again. You have kept
• 4:24:44
  me sane and questioning the M5M crap through so much.
• 4:24:49
  This donation pushes me across the line to Baron. I
• 4:24:52
  claim the title of Sir Preston Baron of the Driftless.
• 4:24:55
  I'm lucky enough to have had the pleasure to meet
• 4:24:56
  Buzzkill at one of the Sonoma County Wino meetups. Anyone
• 4:24:59
  that had not had the opportunity but wanted to can
• 4:25:02
  rest assured JCD was one of those people you meet
• 4:25:04
  in real life, and they are exactly who you expected
• 4:25:06
  them to be. A fucking champion. Chapeau, JCD. I'm pouring
• 4:25:10
  one out for the real Dvorak, Preston. Yair Moore, 288.88.
• 4:25:16
  Hello, Adam, Mimi, Jay, and the Rorick family. In this
• 4:25:19
  time of grief, I want to share an unusual story
• 4:25:21
  about the effect John had on one life. I stumbled
• 4:25:24
  across a PCMag issue in 2003 when I was 18.
• 4:25:27
  I started reading and got captivated by John's column. He
• 4:25:29
  wrote about technology in a way nobody else did, with
• 4:25:32
  his unique combination of wit, depth, and opinionated independence. From
• 4:25:35
  that moment on, I knew what I wanted to do.
• 4:25:37
  I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I followed his
• 4:25:39
  career for 23 years and was always enlightened by the
• 4:25:42
  way he took everything in a way that wasn't totally
• 4:25:44
  serious, but well thought of. His takes on things were
• 4:25:47
  always original and thought-provoking, and his sense of humor was
• 4:25:49
  endearing, even when I didn't get the jokes. person in
• 4:25:53
  my life after my parents. I will miss him dearly.
• 4:25:55
  Mimi and the family, we will all cherish his memory.
• 4:25:58
  His mark on the world will outlast us all. All
• 4:26:01
  of us. Did we find a note? Let me take
• 4:26:05
  over for a second, JC, because I found the note
• 4:26:07
  from Craig Clifford that we just missed. Yay. Let's do
• 4:26:10
  it. Craig Clifford, Knight of the Rolling Hills of Uxbridge,
• 4:26:14
  Ontario here. Mine sincere condolences to the Dvorak and Currie
• 4:26:18
  families. JCD touched many through his journey on this earth.
• 4:26:22
  I'm sure he will be an inspiration up above. Mimi,
• 4:26:26
  my wife just recently borrowed too many eggs from our
• 4:26:29
  daughter's-in-law, my keeper. Kathy loves the book. Fridge is full
• 4:26:35
  of Swiss deviled eggs. Presently, the introduction in the book
• 4:26:38
  is funny when John pipes up and says, no, stop,
• 4:26:41
  don't ask her about... Don't ask her about eggs! Maybe
• 4:26:45
  you could explain more to the listeners about John's comments.
• 4:26:50
  Get Mo Nation. Listen up. Order Mimi's cookbook. It is
• 4:26:54
  fabulous. I just ordered our own copy. We will miss
• 4:26:57
  you, JCD. Kind regards, Craig. I really love the crepe
• 4:27:00
  recipe in that. Well, thank you. John would always say
• 4:27:05
  to people, don't get her started. Don't ask her about
• 4:27:08
  eggs. Please don't. Please, no, no, no. All right, take
• 4:27:12
  it away, JC. Okay, wherever you are, JC. All right,
• 4:27:15
  so nobody of New Jersey in Parlin, New Jersey. Um.
• 4:27:22
  288.80. I wanted to say that Adam's speech at the
• 4:27:25
  beginning of 1-8-8-8, with John's passing, I feel like I
• 4:27:30
  have lost another teacher. Adam and John. have taught me
• 4:27:34
  more about the news than most people. I have lately
• 4:27:36
  been in a buzzkill mood as a group of friends
• 4:27:38
  has TDS. There's nothing more fun than using the skills
• 4:27:41
  I've learned from No Agenda, blasting their narratives in two
• 4:27:43
  seconds and watching them flip out for a bit. It's
• 4:27:45
  better than the Trump soap opera. My group of sanity
• 4:27:48
  in these times has been the New Jersey meetups and
• 4:27:50
  talking about the news, yes. but about normal everyday stuff.
• 4:27:55
  I do not know what form the new form the
• 4:27:58
  show will take, but I will ensure that the quarterly
• 4:27:59
  Central New Jersey meetups will continue. Anyone wants to be
• 4:28:02
  added to the email list, please email me at jerseyjamesscott
• 4:28:06
  at gmail.com. Thank you, everyone. Jersey James, Scott, Sir Nobody
• 4:28:11
  of New Jersey. Sir Daddycast, Mechanicsville, Virginia. What a cool
• 4:28:17
  name for a town. Okay, 288. To accompany my 288
• 4:28:20
  donation in honor of JCD, I was in the group
• 4:28:23
  who was hoping it wasn't true. A void we can
• 4:28:25
  never fully fill. John was a special voice when I
• 4:28:28
  followed since the tech TV days. Missed without a doubt.
• 4:28:31
  Peace and prayers to the Dvorak family. Sir Diddy... Sir

• 4:28:46
  so saddened to hear about the loss of Uncle John.
• 4:28:48
  We will greatly miss him and are praying for the
• 4:28:50
  DeVark family, you, Adam, and Tina, as well as his
• 4:28:53
  other friends and loved ones. Love, The Highland Craigs. Dame

  Tanya. Wow, just wow. Dame Tanya here, Countess of the
• 4:29:05
  No Agenda Roundtable. Saddened and shocked by our friend John
• 4:29:08
  C. Dvorak's passing. I've been reading his columns since the
• 4:29:10
  1980s, always giggling at his snark, digs, humor, and what
• 4:29:13
  we now know as trolling. Found him later on Twit,
• 4:29:17
  which led me to No Agenda, and I started listening
• 4:29:18
  from episode 34 in June 2008. I went back and
• 4:29:21
  listened from the start. Even during the period where it
• 4:29:25
  appeared I was Dame Overboard, I listened to every single
• 4:29:29
  No Agenda show. From my dose of JCD, and you
• 4:29:32
  too, Adam, shout out to Cranky Geeks, Tech 5, Tech
• 4:29:34
  Grouch, and Tech Hippie. Those tie-dye underpants are now a
• 4:29:37
  collectible. Donation amount for the show I was knighted on,
• 4:29:42
  episode 169. Bumped it up to 269 for executive producer
• 4:29:47
  credit. Love you all, and Mimi's appearance through these crises
• 4:29:49
  make it clear that John had an absolutely wonderful partner
• 4:29:51
  and soulmate in his life in the morning. Commodore Sir
• 4:29:55
  Kaz in Brighton, England. Oh, Kaz. Holy crap. Haven't heard
• 4:29:59
  him in forever.
• 4:30:02
  Well, it brings in 269. I am grateful for co-emperor
• 4:30:05
  of the galaxy, John C. Dvorak's invaluable contributions to our
• 4:30:07
  lives. It was a pleasure meeting John, Mimi, and the
• 4:30:10
  family at the last London meetup. Oh yeah, I remember
• 4:30:12
  that. Yeah, yeah, me too. I'm saddened by John's passing,
• 4:30:16
  but I know he's watching over us from above, providing
• 4:30:19
  us with a sarcastic yet insightful commentary. He shaped our
• 4:30:21
  thoughts and will continue to do so for eternity. To
• 4:30:24
  Mimi, the family, and Adam, we all feel your pain,
• 4:30:27
  but know John's words touch so many lives. A part
• 4:30:29
  of John lives on through all of us, readers, listeners,
• 4:30:31
  fans, and family. Godspeed, John. You'll be deeply missed. Ed
• 4:30:37
  Warner, 268.78. This donation is my JCD donation. I'll claim
• 4:30:43
  my knight name as Sir Ten Lee Tripping. I'm very
• 4:30:46
  sad to realize that I had been a knight a
• 4:30:48
  few donations ago and could have had a JCD knighting.
• 4:30:51
  Still, I'm happy to finally be and claim my night
• 4:30:53
  name. I will truly miss a person I've never met,
• 4:30:56
  but would call a friend. Even though I was never
• 4:30:58
  invited to his home, prayers for the Dvoraks, Kurys, and
• 4:31:01
  everyone in the Nojenta family. Jingles I would like, F-35,
• 4:31:04
  what in the world, a karma, and prayers, so I
• 4:31:06
  got everyone covered. and magic mushrooms, and maybe some LSD
• 4:31:11
  for those that partake at the roundtable. Thank you for
• 4:31:13
  your attention to this matter. Freshly minted, Sir Ten Lee

• 4:31:25
  your references. I'll miss you. Sir Robbie, the Redoer, now
• 4:31:28
  a Baronet. Brian H. from Wimberley, Texas. Hard to believe
• 4:31:38
  when it hit me. The 1,888 artwork wasn't some morbid
• 4:31:44
  play on a hypothetical. Nearly impossible to fathom in the
• 4:31:46
  moment. Adam, you and John have been a true dynamic
• 4:31:49
  duo, a chemistry that felt so proper and right that
• 4:31:51
  the pairings felt unmovable, like a natural order of sorts,
• 4:31:55
  which should reasonably carry on to perpetuity. It hits hard
• 4:31:59
  even as a listener who never met John, so I'm
• 4:32:01
  feeling for all who were blessed to be close, looking
• 4:32:03
  forward to the great things still to come no agenda
• 4:32:06
  as John Spirit lives on to the show. David Brine,
• 4:32:11
  255.55. Thank you, John and his family. Too soon, but
• 4:32:16
  great impact from Silicon Spin to No Agenda for information
• 4:32:19
  and fun. Ken of Weinstock, Tucker, Georgia. $253.90, which is
• 4:32:24
  to say $188.88 plus $65.02. $65.02 is because it always
• 4:32:29
  reminded JCD of the chip. Yep. Godspeed, JCD and JNK.

  Mike Formanick, $250. I'm a Tom Woods listener who was
• 4:32:38
  hooked from the start back in 2024. I will miss

• 4:32:45
  quite a bit since which has helped me out in
• 4:32:48
  the real world more ways than I can count. For
• 4:32:50
  my night name, I request to be named Sir Michael

• 4:32:56
  Penelope. And for the round table, Vicar Boreal Juniper Gin

  next two are very easy. Let me do two more

  and then I'm done. I need to get these numbers.
• 4:33:16
  I got to get my numbers up. He's unstoppable. The
• 4:33:20

  was devastating, and my son and I, he hit me

  in the mouth many years ago, your son's not supposed
• 4:33:56
  to hit you, are so very sad for all you
• 4:33:59
  and also for all of you and all of ourselves.
• 4:34:02
  We'll miss hearing John's incredible voice twice. Okay, read and
• 4:34:08
  go. I can't talk. We will miss hearing John's incredible
• 4:34:11
  voice twice weekly deconstruction, his sharp wit, and even his
• 4:34:15
  occasional grousing very much. He opened our eyes and kept
• 4:34:18
  our amygdala small, and for that we are forever grateful.
• 4:34:22
  Please accept our deepest condolences and know that so many
• 4:34:25
  of us are lifting you up in prayer at this

• 4:35:04
  Me and my wife have been longtime listeners and weekly
• 4:35:07
  donors for over eight years. Never missed an episode. Your
• 4:35:11
  show became what watching a Seinfeld episode was before I
• 4:35:15
  started listening to No Agenda. A healthy dose of hilarious
• 4:35:19
  relativism of life. John's fearless free thinking was like taking
• 4:35:23
  Xanax for the years. Calming, a good time. and strangely
• 4:35:29
  addictive. Living through COVID in Brooklyn, New York, you guys
• 4:35:33
  were a beacon of common sense while everyone around us
• 4:35:37
  was going crazy. In Brooklyn, especially. Wow. I know. During
• 4:35:42
  trying times, my thoughts was I can always listen to
• 4:35:45
  these guys and check out for a couple of hours.
• 4:35:48
  I understand now that I never realized the beacon one
• 4:35:51
  day would not be there anymore. I'm very grateful for
• 4:35:55
  all those years. And also very sad. JCD's chair stopped
• 4:36:00
  squeaking. It's not it's not yet. Sorry to burst your

  bubble with love case honey Amsterdam Netherlands Royce Kokami with
• 4:36:12
  $233.99. Firstly, my condolences to everyone, especially the Dvorak family.
• 4:36:20
  I donated last minute for the past Thursday show, but
• 4:36:23
  didn't have time to gather my thoughts and write a
• 4:36:25
  note. So here's another donation of $222.22 plus fees. Total
• 4:36:34
  $233.99. I don't remember the exact episode number when I
• 4:36:40
  started listening, but I know it was shortly after you
• 4:36:43
  guys started. Around episode five. It was still November 2007.
• 4:36:48
  It still amazes me that you guys started the show
• 4:36:52
  in a pre-Obama era America. It was a different world
• 4:36:56
  back then. I stopped listening to Twit a while ago,
• 4:36:59
  but some of my favorite episodes were the ones with
• 4:37:01
  John in them, especially if John and Jolie O'Dell were
• 4:37:05
  there, both there. they played off each other well. Side
• 4:37:11
  note, I always thought it was a little cool and
• 4:37:14
  funny that my friend Chris, who I helped get into
• 4:37:17
  the show, is born on the same day the show
• 4:37:20
  started, October 26th. as well as Hillary Clinton. Oh, no.
• 4:37:26
  I always like to poke fun at him that they're
• 4:37:30
  cousins. Anyway, thank you for all these years. Same things
• 4:37:35
  make us laugh. Let me pick up a couple, Brennan.
• 4:37:37
  It's my turn. Everyone's been talking. Colin Fannin, uh, Matawan.
• 4:37:44
  Michigan, 233. I was saddened to hear of John's passing
• 4:37:48
  during Thursday's episode. As a practicing Catholic, I'll be adding
• 4:37:51
  John to my litany of the faithfully departed and will
• 4:37:54
  continue praying for him and his family. This donation takes
• 4:37:57
  me to knighthood. I'm grateful for everything I've learned from
• 4:37:59
  the podcast over the years, from thought-provoking discussions to movie
• 4:38:03
  recommendations. But most importantly, I'm not easily rattled or enraged
• 4:38:07
  by the news. This has been invaluable. Thank you. As
• 4:38:11
  the owner of, oh yes, I know Colin. fitness for
• 4:38:16
  people with real constraints. Oh, here we go. I'd like
• 4:38:19
  to honor John's memory by offering 20% off any coaching
• 4:38:22
  service with the promo code John C. I'll also continue
• 4:38:26
  to offer my value for value meal plans with the
• 4:38:28
  promo code V for V. Adam, I hope to start
• 4:38:31
  working with you soon. Yes, Colin, we will. If you
• 4:38:35
  or someone you care about isn't prioritizing their health, consider
• 4:38:38
  starting sooner rather than later. If consistency has been a
• 4:38:40
  challenge or you're not sure where to begin, I'd be
• 4:38:43
  happy to help. Schedule a free consultation and learn more

• 4:39:00
  can see JCD right now drafting a memo. To the
• 4:39:03
  management! Thanks and love to the Dvorak family for sharing
• 4:39:07
  this man with us, for all the unseen work in
• 4:39:09
  the background, because no way a crackpot and or buzzkill
• 4:39:12
  could have pulled this wonderful thing off all by themselves.
• 4:39:16
  Much love and all light, Smithers from Virginia. Sir, who's
• 4:39:20
  Ed? Waterford, Michigan. 222.94. In the morning with prayers. Sir,
• 4:39:26
  who's Ed? Baronette Matt of Northeast Ohio 222.88. too much,
• 4:39:58
  asked for an F cancer from my wife.
• 4:40:00
  Everyone else who was affected by this horrible disease, Baronet
• 4:40:03
  Matt of Northeast Ohio. You've got karma. Scott North, full
• 4:40:15
  row of ducks, 222.22. I will miss John's sense of
• 4:40:20
  humor, life stories, and keen insights, but mostly I will
• 4:40:23
  miss how much he reminds me of my own father,
• 4:40:25
  who introduced me to John's work via PC Magazine in
• 4:40:28
  the early 90s and who passed away several years ago,
• 4:40:31
  also at the age of 80. I would like to
• 4:40:33
  honor John with a row of ducks and ask for
• 4:40:35
  the OTG kind of guy jingle. Yes, it'll be at
• 4:40:38
  the end. Scott North, Orange County, California. Chaz Straney, Charleston,
• 4:40:43
  South Carolina. Rove Ducks. Since John's passing, in moments of
• 4:40:47
  prayer, I am returned to the word courage. To live
• 4:40:50
  a life the way John lived, hewing always to intellectual
• 4:40:53
  honesty and questioning everything is truly courageous. What's more, to
• 4:40:58
  be full of good humor, to love, to laugh with
• 4:41:00
  others, and to lighten others' loads through their jocularity and
• 4:41:03
  wit. Second time we've heard that word. To what better
• 4:41:07
  end can someone give their days? Thank you, John, for
• 4:41:09
  your courage. God bless you. Chaz. trainee. Sir Sidereel, Bountiful
• 4:41:15
  Utah, Rove Ducks. Sir Sidereel will wait a while longer
• 4:41:19
  for a Cranky Geeks revival. Michael Nunley, 222.05. I've been
• 4:41:26
  a sustaining donor since 2018, but was listening well before
• 4:41:29
  the pansexual meatloaf, and I passed knighthood some time ago
• 4:41:32
  and never claimed it, but would like to claim it
• 4:41:34
  now. I'd like to be knighted Sir Whiskey November. Nothing
• 4:41:37
  for the round table. I'll just pick off others' plates.
• 4:41:40
  Being a swing shift worker, I sometimes run a little
• 4:41:44
  behind on shows, so I listen to 1888 before 1887
• 4:41:48
  due to the circumstances. Whoever created the opening-closing song in
• 4:41:52
  the morning, thank you. say. That is the Jeff Smith,
• 4:41:57
  G-O-F-F Smith in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm about halfway through 1887,
• 4:42:03
  and it's a beautiful listen. John had full curmudgeon locked
• 4:42:06
  in out of the gate, complaints about the World Cup
• 4:42:09
  and donations, dissing on Cleo's name, and having to be
• 4:42:12
  prodded into congratulating the birth. Also, who else in the
• 4:42:16
  potosphere could offer any amount of commentary on Swedish jowl
• 4:42:20
  features or Molotov versus Flambe cocktails? I'm astounded that only
• 4:42:26
  one producer of show 1888 mentioned one of the funniest
• 4:42:29
  moments of the last 10 years. I'm assuming someone else
• 4:42:32
  will send it in today, but I've attached it with
• 4:42:34
  this note just in case. John, thank you from the
• 4:42:37
  bottom of my heart for everything. Exit strategy, Adam. Screw
• 4:42:40
  your freedom. We need you now more than ever. Mimi,
• 4:42:43
  truly my heart goes out to you and your family
• 4:42:45
  for your loss. Sincerely, Mike. Juliana Lee, $210.60. I am
• 4:42:51
  so sad. Sending you all my love. My chest is
• 4:42:53
  tight with grief, but I know I'll hear his voice
• 4:42:56
  again when my time here is up. He's the crankiest
• 4:42:59
  angel in heaven. God bless, JCD. Frank Maloney, Sister Bay,
• 4:43:03
  Wisconsin, 21060. Adam and John talked me out of the
• 4:43:07
  Dave Smith and Company Israel doom spiral, and for that,
• 4:43:11
  I am forever grateful. Rest in peace, John. Thank you
• 4:43:14
  both. Frank Maloney, Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Samantha Best, Rogers, Arizona,
• 4:43:20
  Arkansas. Yeah, Arkansas, 210.6, 60 cents. Yesterday, my 15-year-old son
• 4:43:25
  looked at me with disgust in his eyes and asked,
• 4:43:28
  are you finally going to donate now? So yes, I
• 4:43:31
  am. This is long overdue, and I regret that it
• 4:43:34
  took something of this magnitude to call me to action.
• 4:43:37
  My husband and I found no agenda during COVID, and
• 4:43:39
  it legitimized all that we felt during that time. My
• 4:43:43
  young boys listened with us and loved all the jingles,
• 4:43:45
  especially Al Sharpton and Goat Karma. Adam, you and John
• 4:43:49
  have been with us on family vacations, long solo drives,
• 4:43:51
  drinking coffee on the porch, other parts of our lives.
• 4:43:55
  I am forever grateful to have found no agenda and
• 4:43:58
  will sorely miss everything and learning from John, sending hugs
• 4:44:02
  and positive energy to his family, friends, and all who
• 4:44:04
  loved him. Jingles, that's true. Al Sharpton, the one with
• 4:44:10
  Sigourney Weaver. Samantha Best. And you get a dedouching, of
• 4:44:13
  course. You've been dedouched. Matthew Knows, Nashville, Tennessee, 21060. I'd
• 4:44:21
  like to send my condolences to the Dvorak and Curry
• 4:44:23
  families. We'll be praying for you. Thanks to both John
• 4:44:26
  and Adam for the analysis and entertainment over the years.
• 4:44:28
  John is truly one of a kind, and he will
• 4:44:31
  be greatly missed. Sir Clintilius of the Pacific Northwest 20888,
• 4:44:37
  and he wants that's not a great question, and that's
• 4:44:40
  true. In the morning, I'm truly grateful for the incredible
• 4:44:43
  blessing of finding John through Twit and then being able
• 4:44:46
  to listen to him twice a week since 2015. Words
• 4:44:49
  cannot express how I feel since I've learned of his
• 4:44:52
  passing. I felt such a kinship to a man who
• 4:44:54
  I've never met in person, but I've considered him like
• 4:44:57
  an uncle or a father. When my father passed in
• 4:45:00
  November, I still had John for weekly wisdom. double loss.
• 4:45:04
  There were only three years difference in age and I
• 4:45:07
  think that is why I took such a liking to
• 4:45:08
  the way John thought. Fun fact, they are the only
• 4:45:11
  two men I've ever heard Soy sauce referred to as
• 4:45:15
  bug juice. I'm a better man having had JCD be
• 4:45:20
  a part of my life. Buzzkill, you will be sorely
• 4:45:23
  missed. Rest in peace. My condolences and prayers for the
• 4:45:26
  Dvoraks, Adam and Andrew, and all of the No Agenda
• 4:45:28
  family, Sir Clint Hillies of the Pacific Northwest. And there's
• 4:45:31
  Sir Daniel J. Lewis from Burlington, Kentucky. Nice to hear
• 4:45:34
  from you, Sir Daniel J. Lewis. 208-88. Dear Noah Jen,
• 4:45:39
  the family, I was saddened by our loss of John.
• 4:45:42
  John was among the first voices I ever heard in
• 4:45:45
  a podcast when I discovered Twit in 2005 after iTunes
• 4:45:49
  4.9 stole podcasting from Adam. Wink. I must confess that
• 4:45:54
  I think my opinion was on the wrong side of
• 4:45:56
  history when Leo kicked John out of Twit. But when
• 4:45:59
  I later started listening to No Agenda, I realized how
• 4:46:02
  much I always appreciated John's blunt perspectives and critical thinking.
• 4:46:06
  Every time I would hear John read messages about Image
• 4:46:08
  Makers Inc. with a K, I would kick myself for
• 4:46:11
  not sending him my make good for a past omitted
• 4:46:14
  donation note. And I kept meaning to send a new
• 4:46:17
  note to have John read Prompting My New Podcasting Tool,
• 4:46:21
  but written in the style of Linda Lupac. messages. Although
• 4:46:25
  I'm a pod speeder, I listened to episode 1888 and
• 4:46:28
  re-listened to 1887 at one time speed to absorb every
• 4:46:34
  emotion. Good for you, Daniel J. I also couldn't help
• 4:46:37
  but chuckle at numerous things John mentioned in 1887 that
• 4:46:40
  he would probably say were reasons they took him out.
• 4:46:47
  I'm late sending this report because I struggled over how
• 4:46:50
  to express what I wanted to say, but I think
• 4:46:52
  Romans 10, 18 to 13 says it best. But what
• 4:47:12
  does it say? all who call on him. For everyone
• 4:47:27
  who calls on the name of the Lord will be
• 4:47:29
  saved. Faithfully, Sir Daniel J. Lewis, Knight of Podcasting 2.0.
• 4:47:36
  Sir David Sunder, Pacific Grove, California, 20888. Adam and John.
• 4:47:42
  I wanted to say I'm sorry for this delayed value
• 4:47:44
  for value. Things have been crazy lately. My wife and
• 4:47:46
  I retired early exit strategy and my oldest is going
• 4:47:49
  away to college in Estonia. I've been meaning to donate
• 4:47:52
  to let you know how much a show has meant
• 4:47:54
  to me and my family over the past 15 years
• 4:47:56
  or so. So hearing of John's passing was like a
• 4:47:58
  gut punch. I have to say that it hurts more
• 4:48:01
  than the passing of anyone except close family members. But
• 4:48:04
  then John has been part of my life for so
• 4:48:06
  long in one way or the other that it's hard
• 4:48:08
  to remember when he entered my life. Wow. For that,
• 4:48:24
  I am thankful to you both and to everyone that
• 4:48:29
  supported you along the way, family, friends, and producers. I
• 4:48:32
  don't know what my life would be like if I
• 4:48:34
  hadn't had you both in it, but I wouldn't be
• 4:48:36
  as good or as interesting as it has been. Thank
• 4:48:39
  you for missing my night years ago so that I
• 4:48:42
  could take on the Black Knight title. I am sorry
• 4:48:44
  for this long note, John. I've always kept donation notes
• 4:48:47
  short out of respect, but I had to take this
• 4:48:49
  opportunity to thank you or I'd regret it forever. John
• 4:48:53
  and Adam, you have my gratitude. and love mimi and
• 4:48:55
  the dvorak clan and adam and his family you are
• 4:48:57

• 4:49:35
  Um, 208. Hello, family. I want to make my first
• 4:49:39
  donation to the No Agenda show. I've been listening since
• 4:49:41
  2020, which means I've officially been a douchebag until now.
• 4:49:45
  saddens me that it took the passing of John C.
• 4:49:47
  Dvorak for me to finally become a producer, but his
• 4:49:49
  passing has hit me square in the mouth and made
• 4:49:51
  me realize just how much this podcast has meant to
• 4:49:53
  me. Please forgive me. The impact No Agenda has had
• 4:49:57
  on my life, my family, and the people I've shared
• 4:49:59
  it with is truly...
• 4:50:00
  - Tosht. - Niywian Cartini, Torrington, Connecticut. I've been listening
• 4:50:00
  valuable. It's given me peace, encouraged me to question what
• 4:50:03
  I'm told, and helped me realize that I don't have
• 4:50:05
  to live in fear. Rest in peace, John C. Dvorak.

  to Adam, Mimi, and all of John's family, my heartfelt
• 4:51:53
  condolences to all of you. I just don't know, I
• 4:51:56
  just don't really know how to put things adequately in
• 4:51:58
  simple words, but I know John was a stickler for,
• 4:52:01
  try to do it right. Spoiler, he... Well, anyway. Like
• 4:52:06
  so many others, I first came across JCD on Twit,
• 4:52:10
  then followed him to Cranky Geeks, and then to No
• 4:52:11
  Agenda. Through all this time, he has been someone who
• 4:52:14
  not only informed and entertained me, but influenced the way
• 4:52:16
  I thought about the world around me. He was always
• 4:52:18
  a professional curmudgeon, but I always had the sense he
• 4:52:20
  presented himself that way with a quiet, perhaps even ironic
• 4:52:24
  smile deep down. I never had the chance to meet
• 4:52:26
  John in person, although I almost did one time when
• 4:52:29
  I visited Leo's studio many years ago of twit. John
• 4:52:32
  was listed as a guest but unfortunately had to pull
• 4:52:34
  out a short notice. I would have so loved to
• 4:52:36
  have met him. I've been a Nojenta producer and donor
• 4:52:40
  since probably episode 70 and John has always been there
• 4:52:44
  each week like a long time reliable friend. I always
• 4:52:46
  got a kick out of email from him even if
• 4:52:49
  he didn't agree with me on whatever topic was whatever
• 4:52:52
  the topic was well almost especially if he didn't like
• 4:52:54
  so many in the no agenda family i am heartbroken
• 4:52:57
  at the news of his passing i am though grateful
• 4:52:59
  that it was peaceful even more so for the legacy
• 4:53:03
  I feel as though I've lost a friend. Adam, your
• 4:53:05
  tribute in episode 1,888 was beautiful. I was in tears.
• 4:53:10
  Much love and respect to you. Mimi, best wishes to
• 4:53:12
  you and your loved ones, from my family to yours.
• 4:53:14
  Our thoughts are with you. Rest in peace, John C.

  I've talked to in the no-gender community, whether on the

  You can find it. I'd love to hear John's recording
• 4:54:13
  of Mimi imitating Amy Goodwin. It involves quacking. I'll have

  to look for that. I don't know if I can

  find that easily. Okay. Can you just do it, Amy?

  Bay. 198-89. Adam and Dvorak family. Peace and strength to
• 4:55:22
  you all. I've written and erased this ten times now.
• 4:55:24
  Words are so pointless, yet at times it is more
• 4:55:26
  pointless yet to try and stop them. This was so
• 4:55:29
  unexpected and more crushing to me than ever I would
• 4:55:31
  have imagined. Sometimes you don't know how deeply attached you
• 4:55:34
  are to someone's wisdoms and perspective, their voice and wit
• 4:55:37
  until it is suddenly taken away. He was a good
• 4:55:39
  man who became terrifically important and dear to a lot
• 4:55:41
  of people. So too are you, Adam, and I believe
• 4:55:44
  in you and will remain your supporter. This is a
• 4:55:46
  very special loss for you, and I wish you the
• 4:55:48
  best in navigating it and coming out the other side
• 4:55:50
  intact. There's so much more. There is so much more
• 4:55:54
  that I wish I could do. You certainly are in
• 4:55:56
  my prayers. Love to you all and peace to all.

• 4:57:39
  you meant... will go on in some form. there is
• 4:57:42
  a way to make John's voice the voice of the
• 4:57:43
  robot. John was the book of knowledge. I think you're
• 4:57:47
  hearing, everyone is saying, JC, that they hear a young
• 4:57:51
  John C. Dvorak in your voice. Oh, absolutely. Yes. Well,
• 4:57:56
  I've got his vocal cords. Not literally, it's metaphorical. Don't
• 4:58:01
  get creeped out. Rest in peace, John. Godspeed. Baroness Ladybird,

• 4:59:14
  Okay. I started to try and think of what to
• 4:59:19
  write, and the first thing I did was I wrote
• 4:59:20
  a book. There are too many stories and ways inspired,
• 4:59:23
  angered, or supported me from a distance to try and
• 4:59:25
  pick just one. But then I realized, John's been giving
• 4:59:28
  us a tip, just a tip, at the end of
• 4:59:29
  every show for quite a while. I listen to them
• 4:59:33
  all. Some are interesting, some are not. Just being honest.
• 4:59:37
  But if you... John gave a tip about the AA
• 4:59:40
  rechargeable batteries on Amazon, and I had to have them.
• 4:59:43
  The way he described them and how they were... disrechargable
• 4:59:46
  batteries, maybe jump on Amazon and get them while still
• 4:59:48
  listening to the end of the show. Never used any
• 4:59:49
  of his tips before. It just seems weird I picked
• 4:59:52
  now to do something. And now the future, when we
• 4:59:54
  were spring cleaning or moving or whatever, gotta help the
• 4:59:56
  person that suggested this 12, old 12 pack of double...
• 5:00:00
  lay rechargeable batteries should be thrown out. These stupid batteries
• 5:00:02
  will be used for as long as I can use
• 5:00:04
  them, but it'll always be in my office as a
• 5:00:06
  reminder, John. Still can't believe he's gone. Wish he could
• 5:00:09
  just recharge. We wish we could just recharge him so
• 5:00:12
  I wouldn't have to miss him, but that's selfish. Oh,
• 5:00:14
  wow. I'm sure he's resting peacefully and enjoying the outpouring
• 5:00:16
  of love and support from the greatest family in the
• 5:00:18
  universe, the No Agenda family. Sincerely, Saddened, DJ Briggs. Peter

  Dear Adam and Mimi, first of all, my deepest condolences.
• 5:00:33
  I'm a long-time listener, but first-time donator, so a de-douching
• 5:00:36
  is that it's... place. You've been dedouched. honor of John's
• 5:00:45
  favorite number, I donated 188.80 euro plus the fees. Now
• 5:00:49
  that John's voice is no more part of the best
• 5:00:53
  podcast in the universe, my Monday and Friday mornings in
• 5:00:55
  the lowlands won't be the same. I was always eager
• 5:00:57
  to start listening to a new episode of No Agenda
• 5:00:59
  and smiling when hearing, usually John's opening sentence. He was
• 5:01:02
  the best and the funniest. At this moment, I'm on
• 5:01:04
  holiday in the French Alps with my wife and shocked
• 5:01:07
  hearing of John's passing. As a sommelier, John would have
• 5:01:09
  loved the taste of good French wine. Therefore, we raise
• 5:01:12
  a glass to the memory of John C. Dvorak, where
• 5:01:13
  the John C. stands for commemoration. Jingles. John's Rosita. I
• 5:01:19
  have ants. John's spirit donate jingle. One of his best.

  Hi Adam, Mimi, and family. My sincerest condolences for the
• 5:01:41
  loss of JCD. It's the strangest thing to be emotional
• 5:01:44
  about the passing of somebody you have never met in
• 5:01:45
  your life. That must mean it was a great person.
• 5:01:49
  Then again, listening to his voice for six hours a
• 5:01:50
  week is more than I listen to my wife. So
• 5:01:53
  maybe it is not so strange after all. We'll be
• 5:01:58
  greatly missed. Be strong all together. Love and light. Bocca
• 5:02:01
  over Bosch. That's more than he listened to me. There
• 5:02:06
  it is. There it is. Dame Slammy. The thing is
• 5:02:12
  slay me. Dame slay me. Dane Sleamy. Love and blessings
• 5:02:17
  to the Dvorak and Curry families and all of Gitmo
• 5:02:18
  Nation. JCD saved lives despite himself. Love is lit. It's
• 5:02:23
  amazing that I see all these names. I know how
• 5:02:25
  to pronounce them because these people have been with us
• 5:02:27
  for years and years and years. I love it. I
• 5:02:30
  love it. I love it. Sir Slash Doom, Frederick, Colorado.
• 5:02:35

• 5:02:45
  One nine eight, five cents. To the DeVar Curry No
• 5:02:48
  Agenda families, I came to No Agenda via John's appearances
• 5:02:51
  on Twit in 2011, I believe, and became a dame
• 5:02:54
  on show 1000. This show has been a big part
• 5:02:57
  of my life for 15 years. It won't be the
• 5:02:58
  same without John, and it shouldn't be the same because
• 5:03:01
  John was truly unique. Take comfort in knowing that he
• 5:03:04
  is fondly remembered by so many. My first Manuka Gold
• 5:03:07
  order arrived Friday, so I made a toast to John
• 5:03:09
  with a teaspoon of bee well. Mimi mentioned that John
• 5:03:11
  had a teaspoon before he passed, so I'm not sure
• 5:03:13
  if it's a good idea or not, but we'll see.
• 5:03:18
  It'll be fine. It'll be fine. I've been having it
• 5:03:22
  for every day since. I'm still here. you Nick and
• 5:03:30
  Dame Tabitha. 198. We're diminished. Sincere condolences from the Soaps
• 5:03:37
  family to the Dvorak-Curry-Nojenta families. Now that I know John
• 5:03:40
  was 80 and the New York Times is a garbage
• 5:03:41
  rag. Finally he succeeded. Yes, yes, he got it, he
• 5:03:47
  got it. That means John was 33 years older than
• 5:03:51
  me. We welcomed No Agenda into our lives six years
• 5:03:54
  ago, so here's a tribute to John of 6 times
• 5:03:56
  33, or 198. We'll miss John more than any other
• 5:04:00
  person we've never met and are so thankful for the
• 5:04:02
  Thursdays and Sundays we had with him. May the peace
• 5:04:05
  of the Lord comfort your grieving souls. Love ya. Mean
• 5:04:08
  it. Nick and Dame Tabitha. Mitchell Rogers, 197.89. My smoking

  the morning, Mitchell. Two boroughs of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. 188.90

• 5:04:28
  peace, John. We've lost a great one. Sending prayers to
• 5:04:31
  the Dvorak family, to Adam, and to the entire No
• 5:04:33
  Agenda community. I have really enjoyed John's tip of the
• 5:04:38
  day. Although I'm not a wine drinker, I would routinely
• 5:04:40
  share the wine tips with my wife in hopes she
• 5:04:42
  would start listening to the rest of the show, though
• 5:04:44
  she hasn't caught on yet. I wanted to share a
• 5:04:47
  personal tip of the day story. I was shopping at
• 5:04:49
  the grocery store and needed to buy fish sauce for
• 5:04:51
  a recipe. I was listening to the No Agenda show
• 5:04:53
  on my headphones while looking for it, and lo and
• 5:04:55
  behold, John's tip of the day started playing with his
• 5:04:57
  recommendation for fish sauce, so I knew exactly what to
• 5:04:59
  buy. Love it. I really appreciate what you guys have
• 5:05:05
  created and continue to do. Godspeed, John C. Dvorak. Sincerely,
• 5:05:08
  Drew Burrows, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Randy Wallen, Georgetown, Texas. $188.90.
• 5:05:17
  Rest in peace, John. May God's loving embrace comfort your
• 5:05:19
  family as well as the No Agenda universe. Your work
• 5:05:22
  during COVID will always be remembered. Blessings, Randy Wallen, Georgetown,
• 5:05:25
  Texas. All right. Yeah, take it over. Sir Dr. Jeff
• 5:05:31
  of Atherton, California, $188.90. Dear Meany, Adam, Tina, and the
• 5:05:37
  No Agenda family. I'm making a donation to Memory of
• 5:05:40
  John, and I wanted to send along a few words
• 5:05:42
  with it. I've been a listener for the better part
• 5:05:44
  of a decade now, but my history with John actually
• 5:05:46
  goes back much further than that. As a teenager in
• 5:05:49
  the 1980s heading into my early 20s, I was completely
• 5:05:53
  absorbed by computers, and a lot of what I taught
• 5:05:56
  myself came from PC Magazine and the other periodicals of
• 5:05:59
  the day. John was often the writer with the insider's
• 5:06:03
  eye, because he'd clearly used the thing and had an
• 5:06:08
  opinion about it. I read everything he wrote. He was
• 5:06:12
  part of my education before I ever knew his voice.
• 5:06:15
  Years later, I rediscovered him on Twit with Leo Laporte.
• 5:06:19
  Arguing with Nilay Patel. Nilay Patel. Nilay Patel. Messing with
• 5:06:25
  Leo's newest toys, switching the language on some poor unboxed
• 5:06:28
  device to Korean or Russian just to watch the gas.
• 5:06:31
  You know, he did that to my phone. Oh, yeah.
• 5:06:33
  Of course he did. That's initiation, man. That's part of
• 5:06:37
  the deal. That's where I first heard about No Agenda.
• 5:06:41
  And when I tuned in, I got a genuine surprise.
• 5:06:49
  co-host. The two of them became a real part of
• 5:06:52
  my life. They were funny, I learned constantly, and I
• 5:06:55
  loved the irreverence of it all. At a time when
• 5:06:58
  so much media seemed engineered to keep people anxious, their
• 5:07:01
  deconstruction of the news brought real clarity. They helped me
• 5:07:04
  remember to actually think. To ask, who benefits? My listening
• 5:07:13
  became routine in the best way. I TM'd the fat
• 5:07:16
  lady singing, washing the car, driving back roads, coffee at
• 5:07:19
  home on a Sunday morning. Every episode got listened to
• 5:07:23
  more than once. More nights than I can count. I
• 5:07:25
  fell asleep to the two of them arguing with each
• 5:07:28
  other. I never met John and never met Adam either,
• 5:07:31
  but I feel like I know them. Last Sunday, I
• 5:07:34
  remember noticing John pause a couple of times, and at
• 5:07:36
  one point he sounded congested. It took him a while
• 5:07:39
  to clear his throat, and it bothered me. I wish
• 5:07:42
  I'd had a way to reach him and just ask
• 5:07:44
  if he was doing alright. Tell him to check in
• 5:07:47
  with his cardiologist. That wasn't God's plan, apparently. Mimi, my
• 5:07:51
  deepest condolences to you and the family. Adam, Tina, I'm
• 5:07:55
  so sorry for your loss. Get a nation will go
• 5:07:57
  on. It'll just be different now. God bless. Sir, Dr.
• 5:08:02
  Jeff. No jingles, no karma for the note. Agenda family.
• 5:08:07
  No jingles, just karma. Let me give him that. Just
• 5:08:09
  karma, yes. Yeah, let's give some karma. Karma. Mike V

• 5:08:32
  Not big on putting myself out in the universe to
• 5:08:35
  those that I do not really know, but I guess
• 5:08:37
  your podcast affected me more than I would like to
• 5:08:40
  admit. I know I'm one of many listeners to reach
• 5:08:43
  out, but real prayers to Adam and John's family for
• 5:08:47
  strength and healing in this time of mourning. I'm listening
• 5:08:50
  to episode 1888, and your courage to share is amazing.
• 5:08:54
  Thank you for sharing, memories with the no agenda family
• 5:08:58
  so that everyone can process this loss with you sincerely,

• 5:09:21
  Jesus' name. Sir J. Knight of the Interstate. 1-888-89. My
• 5:09:27
  deepest condolences to the Dvorak family. I started listening to
• 5:09:30
  No Agenda after hearing Adam on the Joe Rogan on
• 5:09:33
  March 4th, 2020. I tuned in to show 1230 and
• 5:09:37
  I've been hooked ever since. You guys have been the
• 5:09:40
  bookends of my week. I start my four-day run on
• 5:09:43
  Sunday and come back home on Thursday. And the best
• 5:09:47
  show has been with me every mile of the way.
• 5:09:51
  One of the things that kept me coming back was
• 5:09:53
  old, cranky guy who was also incredibly witty. Adam was
• 5:09:57
  the showman, and John was the voice of knowledge.
• 5:10:00
  I will forever miss JCD, his stories, his deep insights,
• 5:10:03
  and his unique perspective. You guys came into my... since
• 5:10:10
  1992 and I think could be filled. I didn't replace
• 5:10:16
  Rush. I brought me mention and thought and conversation. I
• 5:10:20
  recently became a Knight on March 13th, 2026, and I'm
• 5:10:24
  looking forward to the next chapter of the No Agenda
• 5:10:26
  Show. John's presence can never be replaced, but his legacy
• 5:10:31
  will live on through the community he helped build. Sir

  of a great friend. Shepard from Donovan, Missouri. 18888. Dear
• 5:12:39
  John and Adam, it doesn't feel right to not start
• 5:12:42
  a donation letter or this note this way. So one
• 5:12:45
  last time, that's how I'll do it. 2015 was a
• 5:12:49
  formative year in my life. I graduated college, got married,
• 5:12:52
  and had my first child. I also found the new
• 5:12:54
  agenda, so in some way, John has been there as
• 5:12:57
  my wife, and I created our family and was part
• 5:13:00
  of it. why I feel quite gutted by his passing.
• 5:13:05
  My oldest daughter was literally raised with John's voice in
• 5:13:08
  the background of her life and she feels the same.
• 5:13:11
  We've cried together. Thank you for all your contributions. You've
• 5:13:15
  made this the hours. the unseen and heard work, providing
• 5:13:20
  John with countless stories, opinions, and anecdotes, most of all.
• 5:13:24
  Thank you for giving your husband and father to us
• 5:13:26
  for six hours a week. You will be sorely missed.
• 5:13:29
  I'm Shepard. Sir Brian, the miserable IT guy from Troy,

• 5:13:40
  entire Dvorak family, and Adam for the loss of the
• 5:13:43
  legendary JCD. One of my treasured memories is driving John
• 5:13:47
  around Detroit after the first Michigan meetup in 2014. columns.
• 5:13:54
  He played it as cool as I could. I played
• 5:13:58
  it, but played it as cool as I could. We
• 5:14:00
  talked about No Agenda, Twit, technology, Detroit history, and he
• 5:14:04
  complained about the cheap car. We visited Michigan Central Station,
• 5:14:10
  John K. King Rare Bookstore, and a couple of beautiful
• 5:14:13
  old churches. At the bookstore, he told me to park
• 5:14:16
  in a no parking zone to be closer to the
• 5:14:19

  Sir Pete. Anonymous, Sacramento, California, 18881. Thank you for your
• 5:15:50
  service. John C. Dvorak with the C-State. The value of
• 5:15:54
  a donation would never match the value you brought to
• 5:15:57
  this world. We are truly grateful. Richard Gardner. It has
• 5:16:01
  taken me days to finally sit down and write this.
• 5:16:03
  Learning of John's passing affected me more than I expected.
• 5:16:06
  My first donation to Know Agenda was back on December
• 5:16:09
  19, 2010, so I've been listening nearly twice a week
• 5:16:12
  for nearly 17 years. You both have been such a
• 5:16:15
  big part of my life for so long that I
• 5:16:17
  can honestly say John had a tremendous impact on the
• 5:16:20
  man I have grown into. Our home is stocked. with
• 5:16:23
  dozens of items he personally recommended over the years, even
• 5:16:27
  before the tip of the day. They now serve as
• 5:16:29
  wonderful reminders of John in my daily life. While I
• 5:16:32
  never made it to a meet-up to see him in
• 5:16:34
  person, hearing him confidently state that I was definitely from
• 5:16:37
  New York City, despite my donations coming from parts unknown,
• 5:16:40
  always brings a smile to my face. There are far
• 5:16:43
  too many highlights... I fell behind on the show over
• 5:16:51
  the last few months and was listening at 1.2 times
• 5:16:54
  speed. backlog. But with this week's news, I immediately reverted
• 5:16:58
  back to normal speed. I'm taking in every remaining second
• 5:17:02
  of John's wit and humor, enjoying it for the precious
• 5:17:05
  commodity it now is. Rest in peace, dear Buzzkill. All
• 5:17:09
  my love to Adam and the Dvorak family. Jared Collier,
• 5:17:12

• 5:17:48
  never been so saddened by the news of a passing
• 5:17:51
  someone I never had the privilege or honor of meeting.
• 5:17:54
  I will miss John, his email responses that half the
• 5:17:58
  time were a little dickish if he bothered at all,
• 5:18:00
  his humor, wit, confrontational attitude towards Adam that spiced things
• 5:18:04
  up, his obvious love for his family, his good advice
• 5:18:07
  and tips, his buzzkill attitude, and his I will miss
• 5:18:12
  this man I never met and still feel like I
• 5:18:14
  knew a little. I pray for Mimi, JC, Jay, Theo,
• 5:18:17
  Eric, and the rest of Dvorak's, the Currys, and the
• 5:18:20
  many people that will carry John in their hearts and

  JCD's passing. The show has provided me with plenty of

  valuable information over the years. I always enjoyed hearing John's

• 5:22:24
  you'd want the show to go on as do we
• 5:22:27
  all, but much like a band that loses a founding
• 5:22:30
  member no matter how good it may be going forward,
• 5:22:32
  it will always in some sense be a different band

• 5:22:45
  his loss. Listening to his stories and kept me company

  whether on the road, at work, or doing dishes. This
• 5:22:52
  is one of my comfort podcasts, love and light. Chevalier
• 5:22:55
  Pierre Lamouch, a row of sticks, 1111. John, if they
• 5:23:00
  are letting you listen to this show... Thank you for
• 5:23:02
  your courage, Chevalier Pierre Lamouch. Sir James of Norway and
• 5:23:07
  Riksdag Norway, 10888. In the morning, NOAA Genet family. I've
• 5:23:11
  been with you guys since episode one, which was published
• 5:23:14
  a few weeks after I moved to Norway in October.
• 5:23:18
  The move marked a new chapter in my life and
• 5:23:20
  I'm grateful to have had you with me almost daily
• 5:23:22
  ever since. Adam, I loved it when you managed to
• 5:23:26
  make John laugh, especially the handful of times you really
• 5:23:29
  caught him off guard and he blurted out a big,
• 5:23:31
  har! Thanks. Thank you. That's all I really wanted to
• 5:23:35
  do. Thanks to the Dvorak family for sharing John with
• 5:23:39
  us for so long. He was wonderful and will be
• 5:23:41
  sorely missed. Yay, Jesus, Sir James of Norway. Jason Watkins,
• 5:23:46
  10535. Thanks, John, for the years of insight and for
• 5:23:49
  the laughs. Rest in peace. And Jeremy Toth, 10648. I
• 5:23:55
  missed that one. I'll do Drone Dork Will, 105.35. Greetings,
• 5:24:00
  Podfather. This is hitting me harder than I would have
• 5:24:02
  expected. The No Agenda Show is away from... listen to
• 5:24:06
  my grumpy uncles deconstruct the world for me. It makes
• 5:24:09
  me feel like I'm at the kids' table at a
• 5:24:11
  family function, overhearing my favorite relatives be themselves, not realizing
• 5:24:16
  they are influencing the next generation. I miss the times
• 5:24:19
  of sitting with our elders and hearing them tell us
• 5:24:22
  stories of their lives. I think this is something that
• 5:24:24
  the current generation is lacking, and it's sad. That's what
• 5:24:28
  No Agenda is for me. It's a way for me
• 5:24:30
  to still pay respect to elders I hold high. and
• 5:24:33
  high esteem and just listen to them. After all, they
• 5:24:36
  deserve it. They paved the way for us to live
• 5:24:38
  as we do today. For better or for worse is
• 5:24:40
  what I think JCD would input here. I will miss
• 5:24:43
  JCD to no end. His voice, his curmudgeon takes on
• 5:24:46
  things, his wacky sound effects, and most of all, his
• 5:24:50
  audio blunders that irk at him all the time. I
• 5:24:53
  love you too, boomers. Rest in peace, JCD. I love
• 5:24:55
  you. You don't have to read this part on the
• 5:24:58
  air if you don't want to, but I will. Adam,
• 5:25:00
  hang in there, brother. This has got to be a
• 5:25:02
  rough time losing your dare friend. podcast partner. I feel
• 5:25:04
  for you. I'm giving you a giant bear hug in
• 5:25:06
  my head. He's gazing down upon us, bumping his mic
• 5:25:09
  and smirking. Mimi, my condolences. John was an amazing and
• 5:25:14
  we are all lucky to have Marna in our lives.
• 5:25:16
  We love you on the show and looking forward to
• 5:25:18
  the next chapter of No Agenda. Okay, can someone else
• 5:25:22
  take over now? JC, your turn. Oh man, I was
• 5:25:27
  responding to Troll Room. Where are we? Here we are.
• 5:25:30
  You're on a troll. Second? 206. 206. All right. All
• 5:25:37
  right, let me... Uh, Bachtel. Bachtel? Bachtel from Lakeville. $105.35.
• 5:25:45
  No longer a douchebag. Rest in peace, JCD. Bachtel from
• 5:25:48
  Lakeville, Minnesota. You've been de-douched. Zachary Johnson, 105.35 cents. I
• 5:25:58
  found no agenda to be life-changing, and still do. The
• 5:26:00
  John and Adam combo was perfect. There are few, if
• 5:26:03
  any, out there with better taste than had John C.
• 5:26:05
  Dvorak. Peter Lockwood, Richmond, California, 105.35. My wife and I
• 5:26:11
  are long-term listeners. Over the years, the show has taught
• 5:26:14
  us how to view the world and media through a
• 5:26:16
  different lens, and for that, we are forever grateful. John
• 5:26:19
  was instrumental in that education. He will be missed. Jim
• 5:26:23
  Warren and Clayton Hyatt, 105.35 cents. We always marveled at
• 5:26:28
  the breadth of John's knowledge. You'll be missed. Jim Warren
• 5:26:30
  and Clayton Hyatt. Rocky Thomas, 105.35. As William Shakespeare wrote,
• 5:26:35
  no legacy is so rich as honesty. Thank you, JCD,
• 5:26:39
  for your candor and courage. You'll be missed, but your
• 5:26:41
  impact on others is eternal. Thank you. Edgar Schatz, Beaverton,
• 5:26:49
  Oregon, 105.35. I may have never met John, but he
• 5:26:53
  made a lasting impact in my life. you will be
• 5:26:56
  missed. In many ways, everyone kind of met him. They
• 5:26:58
  just, he didn't meet them. Yeah, it's true. Marianne Delphia,
• 5:27:06
  105, 35. No note. Neil Eide, 80. Eide, or one
• 5:27:13
  of those two. 105, 35. Thank you, John, for the
• 5:27:17
  insights, tips, jokes, critiques, calm, diversions, and deconstruction you've provided
• 5:27:21
  to No Agenda community. We miss you and we hope
• 5:27:23
  you rest in peace. Dean W. Evans, 105.35. Just heard
• 5:27:30
  via Daily Tech News Show. Sitting here with a whiskey
• 5:27:33
  and cigar in the UK as I heard... So it's
• 5:27:36
  now in memory of John. The man will be missed.
• 5:27:42
  I'm sure dad would ask, what whiskey? What cigar? Yes.
• 5:27:48
  Exactly right. John Sweeney, 105.35. We all cried when we
• 5:27:53
  heard the news, but feel blessed by his memory and
• 5:27:56
  all he's given to the world. A true hearer may
• 5:27:58
  he rest in peace. Joshua Patter, 105.35. I need to
• 5:28:04
  know, was John bumping the mic a bit? No. It
• 5:28:09
  almost certainly wasn't. start as an accident and end up
• 5:28:13
  as a bit? Love all you guys. It was not
• 5:28:17
  a bit. He was super annoying with his bumping of
• 5:28:19
  the mic, which he always said he wasn't doing, but
• 5:28:21
  he was. He was bumping the mic. I mean, this
• 5:28:24
  mic stand is about a thousand years old. I think
• 5:28:27
  it was the first one ever created on Earth. It
• 5:28:29
  is old and it's filthy. And it's in the way.
• 5:28:34
  And it leans. It leans. It was made in Rome.
• 5:28:37
  It's got Latin on it. Yes, there you go. Yeah.
• 5:28:43
  And it's really hard not to bump it the way
• 5:28:44
  this room's set up. So there's that. So it wasn't
• 5:28:48
  a bit. It was just a bit annoying. Yeah. I'll
• 5:28:53
  keep it up. So, go ahead, JC. Jesse Miller, 105.35.
• 5:28:59
  No, you didn't finish Joshua Parker. Love you all, you
• 5:29:02
  guys. Oh, yeah. Love all you guys in the No
• 5:29:03
  Agenda family. Gonna miss the old coot. Jesse Miller, 105.35.
• 5:29:08
  This is my second donation over two years of being
• 5:29:10
  hit in the mouth. Unfortunately, this donation will not make
• 5:29:12
  JCD less grumpy. But I just wanted to thank you
• 5:29:14
  guys for your... I've looked forward to each and every
• 5:29:18
  pod, and I've always enjoyed... I never met the guy,
• 5:29:22
  but he felt like family, and I'm devastated to see
• 5:29:23
  John go. My heart goes out to you, Adam, and
• 5:29:26
  all of John's family and friends. Rest in peace, John.
• 5:29:29
  Ben Clement, 105.35. Dear John, for decades you have shared
• 5:29:33
  your witty personality with us. best insights with your tips
• 5:29:36
  and opinions and even showed how to should sound like.
• 5:29:39
  Be it on Cranky Geeks, Tech 5, or the No
• 5:29:41
  Genta Show, just to name a few, you've been a
• 5:29:43
  true inspiration. safe trip to that big round table up
• 5:29:47
  there. And that Adam, Mimi, and the rest of your
• 5:29:50
  family and loved ones will find the strength that they
• 5:29:52
  will need in these difficult times. I'd like to request
• 5:29:54
  to turn down your speakers and you've got karma jingle.

  Rosie Posey. 105.35. Dear Mimi and Adam, we are sorry

  to hear about the passing of John. My mom and
• 5:30:18
  I hope you and the rest of the Dvorak family
• 5:30:21
  heal with those you hold dear and close to and

  pray that John is resting in peace with the Lord.
• 5:30:26
  Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

  Matthew 5.4. It breaks my heart that I'll never get
• 5:30:32
  to meet the man himself, and it breaks even more
• 5:30:34
  to hear about what kind of man he was. His
• 5:30:36
  advice, tip of the day, media deconstructions, along with Adam,
• 5:30:39
  have helped me keep an open mind in what goes
• 5:30:41
  on in the world we know, what to watch out
• 5:30:43
  for with information presented in the news, and as always,
• 5:30:46
  keep our amigdilas. small with his humor, hot takes, and
• 5:30:50
  life stories. His deeds, actions, and words will not be

  forgotten. Sincerely with much love and support, Sir Mama Boy

• 5:31:03
  important for all of the reasons above. Mike E. Burnley,

  St. Augustine, Florida. 105.35. No note. Craig Jones, 10535. Instead
• 5:31:18
  of usual condolences, I wanted to share a memory of
• 5:31:20
  JCD. In the mid-2010s, as a newly minted no-agenda baronet
• 5:31:24
  in my mid-20s, I emailed John because I was convinced
• 5:31:27
  I wanted a career in tech journalism and wanted advice
• 5:31:29
  on how to break into the industry. Rather than ignore
• 5:31:31
  my email, which would be understandable given how many emails
• 5:31:34
  he must have been receiving, he replied. In fact, he
• 5:31:37
  gave me his number and took the time to talk
• 5:31:39
  with me. When I called, his advice was simple. Don't
• 5:31:42
  do it. He said I'd... He said, I'd struggle to
• 5:31:46
  make a living or find stable work. Soon afterward, many
• 5:31:50
  major tech blogs, podcasts, and publications folded or downsized, and
• 5:31:53
  he turned out to be absolutely right. That honest advice
• 5:31:56
  helped change the course of my life. It led me
• 5:31:57
  down a different path. One that ultimately brought me a
• 5:32:00
  beautiful life and a beautiful wife. He may have helped
• 5:32:03
  saved me from years of hardship. and I've never forgotten
• 5:32:06
  his kindness or honesty. Rest in peace, John's... JCD. Now
• 5:32:10
  you can taste wine, cook chili, and deconstruct the media
• 5:32:12
  and complain about terrible writing all day long. Down here,
• 5:32:14
  we'll miss you, Buzzkill. Is BT short for something? No?
• 5:32:25
  Probably "Baronet," Dave. Oh, it could be "Baronet." Dave the
• 5:32:32
  Reformed and Keeper Melissa. 105.35. I've been a fan of
• 5:32:36
  JCD since 1995 when he got me with an April
• 5:32:38
  Fool's article about how two-bit computing would take over. Right.
• 5:32:45
  I remember that one. That was great. Yeah. Was I
• 5:32:48
  ever so young? We'll sorely miss John's voice and the
• 5:32:52
  way he kept our feet on the ground. BT, Dave

  the Reformed, and Keeper Melissa. Sir Sam of Birdforshire, in...

• 5:33:03
  Mac user, but have been a no agenda listener since
• 5:33:05
  the early days. You're missed already, JCD. Hope you're up
• 5:33:08
  there parting with Raven, Sir Sam of Bedforshire, and the
• 5:33:12
  great, the river great Oos. Michael Lumpkins, 10534. Thank you,
• 5:33:20
  John, for the years of incredible analysis, your apparent love
• 5:33:22
  and commitment to the show, your sharp wit, your sexy
• 5:33:25
  voice, and more importantly, your courage will be sorely missed.
• 5:33:28
  Prayers to the Dvoraks, the Currys, and all of No
• 5:33:30
  Agenda Nation. James Holliday, 10534. Thank you for your courage.
• 5:33:36
  John Doyle, 104, 17. Yeah. Dear Adam, Mimi, and the
• 5:33:42
  rest of the Dvorak and Noagenda extended family, in honor
• 5:33:45
  of the great man himself, I will attempt to be
• 5:33:47
  brief. Right. Yeah, come on, bud. Get real. First, I
• 5:33:55
  was hit in the mouth by a Google podcast in
• 5:33:57
  November of 2020 when in the dark depths of a
• 5:34:00
  paranoid winter, I searched COVID conspiracies. There, and no agenda
• 5:34:04
  was the top result. I felt the healing effects on
• 5:34:08
  my amygdala from the first episode, and this bomb later
• 5:34:11
  led me to setting up a monthly producer plan, despite
• 5:34:15
  PayPal apparently deleting all activity prior to 2023. second, please
• 5:34:20
  call out Google Podcasts as a douchebag, even though it
• 5:34:25
  is bad. Even though it is bad form to speak
• 5:34:28
  ill of the dead, no matter how much they deserved
• 5:34:30
  it. I finally reached knighthood earlier this year, though it
• 5:34:34
  has remained unclaimed until today. John and Adam have been
• 5:34:38
  my constant companions on my daily 150-mile round-trip journey to
• 5:34:43
  work these last five years, and JCD's irascible, sarcastic, deeply
• 5:34:48
  knowledgeable, and always hilarious commentaries were one half of the
• 5:34:51
  reasons I would willingly donate 20 hard-earned bucks to a
• 5:34:57
  comedy podcast, quote unquote. To say I was surprised by
• 5:35:02
  how sad I was upon hearing about JCD's passing is
• 5:35:07
  an understatement. To affirm that this is the only podcast
• 5:35:10
  I donate to is a measure of how much John
• 5:35:13
  and Adam have meant to me over the years. I
• 5:35:16
  only wish that my portion of the value for value
• 5:35:19
  ratio was remotely equal to your side of the equation.
• 5:35:23
  Please, knight me. Sir, not that John, knight of the
• 5:35:27
  sweet old-fashioned. ribs from O. Denise and John C. Dvorak's
• 5:35:33
  favorite Costco Cabernet Sauvignon at the round table. Please, Godspeed,
• 5:35:38
  JCD, and blessings to all who loved you. He really
• 5:35:42
  liked the year 2018 on that cab. Okay. Sorted. John

  de-douched. Sir 3D from Osaka, Japan. ITM from Osaka to
• 5:36:10
  JCD. I was barely 10 years old when I started
• 5:36:13
  reading your PC magazine columns in Finland. I grew up
• 5:36:19
  with computers with your commentary. Later, my critical thinking solidified
• 5:36:23
  thanks to you and No Agenda. I learned so many
• 5:36:26
  things from you like this. One time on the show,
• 5:36:30
  you said there is a thing called Mission Burrito. I
• 5:36:34
  finally visited San Francisco in May. and had a mission
• 5:36:36
  burrito and it was great. No, it was great. Are
• 5:36:39
  you kidding? It was great. During episode 1328 art critique
• 5:36:44
  segment, you praised my work and said, this guy is
• 5:36:47
  very funny. It is a highlight of my design career.
• 5:36:51
  Thank you, JCD. Sir 3D. Kyle Schaefer, $100.88. John was
• 5:36:58
  the prodigious prognosticator of all things tech and so much
• 5:37:02
  more. What an icon. Praying that the peace of Christ,
• 5:37:06
  which surpasses all understanding, would guard your hearts and minds

• 5:37:28
  be praying for the Lord guides you in the right
• 5:37:30
  direction. John, I followed you since the tech TV days,
• 5:37:34
  and I still can't believe you're gone. You've felt like
• 5:37:38
  part of my family for decades. First. I want to
• 5:37:42
  thank you for your career. Twit and your PC Magazine
• 5:37:45
  articles were an early inspiration for me. When you were
• 5:37:49
  no longer a regular on Twit, that was the first
• 5:37:51
  time I felt a JCD void. Then I got the
• 5:37:54
  first iPhone at lunch and started using iTunes where I
• 5:37:57
  could search for podcasts. I still remember my first iTunes
• 5:38:01
  search, John C. Dvorak. I had to fill the void,
• 5:38:03
  man. That's when I found the No Agenda podcast and
• 5:38:07
  my life has never been the same. I've been a
• 5:38:09
  listener since episode one, pre-mouth hitting. Second, I want to
• 5:38:13
  thank you for the years of hard work on No
• 5:38:15
  Agenda. I feel like I knew you, even though we
• 5:38:18
  never met. I could go on, but I'm trying to
• 5:38:20
  keep this short. Thanks, bud. The void is real, and
• 5:38:24
  I'm truly going to miss you. Thank you for the
• 5:38:27
  huge contributions you made to my life. I'll be praying
• 5:38:29
  for comfort over your family and direction to the No
• 5:38:33
  Agenda show. Lucas Deaton from Oakwood, Ohio, $100, no note.

• 5:38:43
  for helping me and my family navigate COVID and all
• 5:38:46
  the other madness with a clear mind. We salute you,
• 5:38:49
  JCD. You will be greatly missed. Prayers and love to

  the DeLaborac family. Johnny Ogden from Utah. hundred dollars Oh,
• 5:39:01
  yeah, Johnny from Ogden, Utah. There you go. If everyone
• 5:39:05
  is more like JCD, the world would be a better
• 5:39:07
  place. He has been the background voice to my life
• 5:39:10
  for years, and I want to thank my friends Rodney
• 5:39:12
  and Josh for introducing me to the show. My condolences
• 5:39:16
  to Adam, JCD's family, and all the No Agenda listeners

• 5:41:32
  so sorry for your loss. Please accept this small $100
• 5:41:36
  donation. I'll try to keep this note short. I first
• 5:41:39
  came across your show through a Google search, and No
• 5:41:42
  Agenda was the top of the list back in 2018.
• 5:41:45
  From the very first time I listened... me coming back
• 5:41:49
  for more. Sorry Adam. There was something about the way
• 5:41:57
  he shared what he knew, explained and deconstructed the news
• 5:42:01
  and other topics and the stories he shared that really
• 5:42:04
  drew me in. After that first episode, I knew I
• 5:42:09
  haven't had the chance to listen to show 1888 yet,
• 5:42:12
  but on Thursday night, 723, I had a dream about
• 5:42:16
  the show. Oddly enough, in the dream, it had been
• 5:42:19
  decided that the show would also include a live stream,
• 5:42:22
  which made me laugh considering it was something John and
• 5:42:25
  Adam had joked about just a few short shows ago
• 5:42:29
  when poking fun at the formats of other podcasts. I
• 5:42:32
  took it as a sign that it was time to
• 5:42:34
  donate again, though I wish it were. better circumstances my
• 5:42:39
  second thought was of the john donation jingle i guess
• 5:42:43
  even from beyond john still has exit strategy and I
• 5:42:47
  hope he continues to haunt the show. Again, please accept
• 5:42:50
  my deepest condolences during this difficult time. No jingles and
• 5:42:53
  all the karma and love to Adam and John's family.
• 5:42:56
  necessarily Nick Vass. You've got karma. Eric Kistler. Wow, still
• 5:43:08
  processing the news. John has been a fixture in my
• 5:43:11
  life for over the years. My earliest memories of John
• 5:43:15
  are when I was a nerdy kid. Thank you, JCD.
• 5:43:27
  Sincerely, Eric Kessler. tuned in for the show on Thursday
• 5:43:50
  night and saw the title, I could hardly believe what
• 5:43:53
  I was reading. I am deeply saddened by his loss.
• 5:43:57
  Today, I made my donation of $100. The memory of
• 5:44:01
  John C. Dvorak. Yeah, my first donation in $100 in
• 5:44:05
  honor of memory of J.C. Dvorak. Let's de-douche him. You've
• 5:44:10
  been de-douched. As an engineering graduate in 1981 who participated
• 5:44:20
  in the early days of PCs, I always felt John
• 5:44:23
  was a kindred soul, especially where he would rattle off
• 5:44:26
  familiar chiptune. I began listening to No Agenda in 2020
• 5:44:30
  as I welcomed relief in a sea of insanity, and
• 5:44:33
  I have been a weekly listener ever since. You have
• 5:44:36
  been my go-to podcast to make sense of the world
• 5:44:40
  and the craziness of the past five years. My condolences
• 5:44:43
  to the Dvorak family and to Adam for your loss.
• 5:44:46
  Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual
• 5:44:49
  light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy
• 5:44:52
  of God, rest in peace. Amen. Amen. Adam, you were
• 5:44:56
  blessed with a good friend. a sturdier shelter, he who
• 5:45:00
  finds one finds a treasure. ITM, John Lance. Steve Shoemaker,

  Scott and Julie Aljetz. Starro. Logan, BFE, Illinois. Heck of

  an exit strategy, JCD. When I read the news, all

  I could hear was John's spooky donate jingle. You're haunted.

  media deconstruction, but stayed for your life stories, your dry
• 5:46:19
  humor, and the unique perspective of your life. to every
• 5:46:22
  conversation. Over time, you became more than just a voice
• 5:46:25
  on a podcast. You became someone whose opinions and views
• 5:46:29
  I look forward to hearing once a week. Now my
• 5:46:32
  ex-husband, my now ex-husband, hit me in the mouth numerous
• 5:46:36
  times during a... But it wasn't until COVID that No
• 5:46:39
  Agenda's perspective on... current events truly resonated with me. The
• 5:46:44
  show taught me to question what I was being told,
• 5:46:47
  look deeper and think critically while you're in it. skepticism,
• 5:46:52
  humor, and narratives shape I want you to know that
• 5:46:58
  you have had a profound and positive impact on me.
• 5:47:02
  I am eternally grateful. God bless you, your family, and
• 5:47:05
  Adam. May you rest in peace. I fell for my
• 5:47:20
  share of $100. when I got to know that JCD
• 5:47:24
  will no longer be on the air, you'll be deeply
• 5:47:27
  missed. I remember that, yeah. I remember. Delaware? Delaware. Yeah,

  I am a pre-COVID listener. John and Adam, you have
• 5:48:49
  impacted my life more than you will ever know. My
• 5:48:52
  heart is broken at the loss of John. Whenever I
• 5:48:55
  hear interesting world events, I always catch myself telling my
• 5:48:58
  wife, I wonder what John and Adam will say about
• 5:49:01
  this. Forgive me, John, for never donating while you were
• 5:49:05
  here. I wanted to extend my deepest condolences and real

• 5:51:56
  no. I don't... I started following John when I began
• 5:52:00
  working for Dick in 1981. He's a boomer like me.
• 5:52:07
  He had such a sharp wit and I always enjoyed
• 5:52:09
  when he was picking on Microsoft, IBM, and Apple. I
• 5:52:12
  heard about the No Agenda show just as Trump 1.0
• 5:52:15
  was ramping up and saw that JCD was co-host with
• 5:52:18
  Adam Curry. My reaction was John should be really interesting
• 5:52:23
  to listen to. However... What's he doing with an MTV
• 5:52:27
  VJ as a partner? The first two shows were interesting
• 5:52:31
  and entertaining, but I was so confused. 33, .33, Rebelizer,
• 5:52:37
  Dames, Nice, V for V. What is this madness? Is
• 5:52:40
  this a cult? I sent John and Adam a copy
• 5:52:44
  of the Edge lit signs. I started making using the
• 5:52:49
  show art. I put a donation check in the box
• 5:52:52
  with John's, but never got a mention. I assumed that
• 5:52:55
  the check was lost or thrown away. So I re-sent
• 5:52:58
  another check with a new note. And of course, John
• 5:53:00
  said it was my fault. Yes. He'll be missed but
• 5:53:06

  and Samuel. Nice biblical names. I do have another son
• 5:55:38
  named Jonah. Hello. Who was a douchebag. Well, douchebag. But
• 5:55:42
  he was very eager to give his condolences. I think
• 5:55:45
  he gets a douchebag now. You've been de-douche. I'm not
• 5:55:49
  buying it. JCD. You have to say it shortly, succinctly,
• 5:55:53
  and with no inflection in the voice. Zach of Burium.
• 5:55:57
  Mason Strong, 93-65, talked about promise software, and they got
• 5:56:01
  John with the pricker. We did talk about that. Wow.
• 5:56:07
  Todd Wall, that's horrible. Todd Wallace, 93.65. I've been listening
• 5:56:13
  forever and got me through the Obama years, COVID, Biden,
• 5:56:16
  and the second term for Trump without you guys cutting
• 5:56:18
  through the M5M BS. Thank you, and we'll miss Buzzkill
• 5:56:22
  and his insights and humor. God bless. Frederick Dittman, 93-65,
• 5:56:27
  feels like I lost a friend and I will forever
• 5:56:29
  miss that laugh of his and the butchering of names
• 5:56:31
  and sketchy Dutch pronunciations. Godspeed, JCD. My sincere condolences to
• 5:56:37
  Mimi and the entire Dvorak family. God bless you all.
• 5:56:40
  Mark and Andrea Johnson, 93, 65. JCD and Adam have
• 5:56:44
  meant so much to us throughout the years. My wife,
• 5:56:47
  Andrea, especially credits JCD's humor with helping her get through
• 5:56:50
  COVID. We are praying for Mimi and the entire Dvorak
• 5:56:53
  family in this time of loss. Thank you for sharing
• 5:56:55
  John with us for six hours a week for nearly
• 5:56:58
  20 years. Mark and Andrea Johnson, Newburgh, Oregon. Joss Edwards,
• 5:57:02
  93, 65. In the morning, Adam and the Nohagen family,
• 5:57:06
  long-time listener, first-time donor, and self-admitted douchebag here. This is
• 5:57:10
  my first donation of $88.89 plus fees made in lovering
• 5:57:14
  memory of our beloved Buzzkill. You've been deduced. Special thanks
• 5:57:21
  to my friend Nigel for hitting me in the mouth
• 5:57:23
  and introducing me to the show during the peak of
• 5:57:25
  COVID insanity. That was the start of a run I
• 5:57:28
  haven't stopped since. John's passing hit me harder than I
• 5:57:31
  expected. His cranky wisdom and sharp insights trained me to
• 5:57:35
  question everything. It made me a clearer thinking, and for
• 5:57:38
  that, I'm forever grateful. I sincerely admire the grace and
• 5:57:42
  strength you've shown, and my heart aches for the grief
• 5:57:45
  you and John's family are carrying. I take great comfort
• 5:57:48
  in God's sovereignty and kindness, trusting that he knows exactly
• 5:57:52
  what we need and will be with you all in
• 5:57:54
  this season. Much love, Josh Edwards, 33-year-old from Columbus, Ohio.
• 5:57:59
  Tori Allman, 9365. Always enjoyed his input and things and
• 5:58:04
  banter with Adam. We'll miss hearing his opinions. Prayers for
• 5:58:07
  the family. Uhhhh... Ruard, Ruard, Ruardy, Ruardy, Campbell, sorry, 9364.
• 5:58:17
  May the vinegar book forever remain unfinished. We love you,
• 5:58:20
  John. Too late. Yeah, too late. It's happening. Lori Poole,
• 5:58:23
  9364. Hello, reaching out from Pawleys Island, South Carolina. I've
• 5:58:28
  listened to Noah Jenner for a few years now, started
• 5:58:30
  during COVID, and it's my favorite podcast. This is my
• 5:58:34
  first donation, sorry, I'm a slacker. No, that's a douchebag.
• 5:58:36
  Of 8888 sent via Vemo in memory of John, de-douching.
• 5:58:43
  You've been de-douched. I will miss him very much. His
• 5:58:46
  humor, his laugh, and his tip of the day. I
• 5:58:48
  actually purchased the knife he recommended last fall. Much love
• 5:58:51
  to his family, to Adam, all the listeners. He will
• 5:58:54
  be missed. Also, congratulations on your new granddaughter, Adam. Thank
• 5:58:57
  you. Side note, Adam, when you first announced on Twitter,
• 5:59:00
  X, a few years ago that you were baptized, I
• 5:59:03
  thought you were hacked and it was a joke. So
• 5:59:04
  glad it was real and you found Jesus. From the
• 5:59:08
  shores of South Kakalaki, Lori Poole. Thank you. Justin Van
• 5:59:13
  Tassel, Whitney Point, New York, 9364, and Anne Graff, 9364,
• 5:59:18
  and Taylor Matthews, 9364. No note, but thank you. Sir
• 5:59:22
  Digi, Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, 9364. His peace has surely found
• 5:59:26
  you. Love to your family. I wish we had met
• 5:59:28
  in this life, but I look forward to your wit
• 5:59:30
  in the next. Thank you for your courage. Dennis Prziklink,
• 5:59:35
  9364. Thank you for your service. John, condolences to the
• 5:59:38
  Dvorak family, Adam, and the whole No Agenda sphere. George
• 5:59:43
  Semple, 9364. We'll miss you, John. We're praying for your
• 5:59:46
  family. Josh Mickey or Mikey, 93-64. In 2015, my buddy
• 5:59:52
  told me this podcast he found called No Agenda. When
• 5:59:55
  he told me the names of the hosts, Adam Curry
• 5:59:57
  and John C. Dvorak, I looked at him bewildered.
• 6:00:00
  The Adam Curry from MTV and John C. DeVore from
• 6:00:03
  PC Magazine. My world was rocked. I could have never
• 6:00:06
  imagined a more dynamic duo. I knew Adam from his
• 6:00:09
  MTV days. In the early 2000s, I subscribed to PC
• 6:00:12
  Magazine where I was first introduced to JCD and his
• 6:00:15
  editorial column. I was new to tech. I look forward
• 6:00:19
  to each month to reading his column and may have
• 6:00:22
  subscribed to an email newsletter. When I began listening in
• 6:00:25
  2015 to No Agenda, I was fresh coming out of
• 6:00:27
  a health crisis and needed a distraction to get well.
• 6:00:31
  Enter No Agenda. I found it at first to be
• 6:00:33
  like a morning zoo, but like John's columns, I look
• 6:00:36
  forward to the shows on Thursday and Sundays. JCD's dry
• 6:00:40
  wit and his humor, and more importantly, his authenticity in
• 6:00:43
  who he is was always an attraction to me. I
• 6:00:46
  will miss him, and not only him, but the dynamic
• 6:00:49
  that Adam and John bring to the No Agenda community.
• 6:00:52
  Even when you know the days are limited here on
• 6:00:54
  Earth and just as well, the No Agenda podcast, nothing
• 6:00:57
  can prepare anyone for this moment. My love and prayers
• 6:01:00
  to Mimi and the rest of the Dvorak family. Love
• 6:01:02
  and prayers to the Curry family and Horowitz family as
• 6:01:05
  well. It's a beautiful thing to see a life that
• 6:01:07
  touched millions in the morning and God's blessings to all.

  Joshua Mickey, Fargo, North Dakota. Andrew Hua, Cincinnati, Ohio, 9364.
• 6:01:18
  Thank you. No note. Ben from Gladstone Park, Victoria, Australia.
• 6:01:22
  Rest in peace, JCD. You will be greatly missed. Thank
• 6:01:25
  you and Adam for all you have done. Condolences from
• 6:01:27
  Ben in Gladstone Park, Victoria, Australia. Michael McInnes, 9364. Rest
• 6:01:32
  in peace, JCD. Aaron Chamberlain, 9364. Yes, it was shameless.
• 6:02:04
  wasn't a guess. Once I hooked into no agenda, I
• 6:02:07
  really got to know John. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the
• 6:02:10
  jokes, classic stories like torching ants and fisting nuts, crankiness,
• 6:02:15
  wit and insights, one-liners, Confucius sayings, oh yeah, grousing, moaning,
• 6:02:20
  complaining, jabs at Adam, talks of the forever vinegar book,
• 6:02:23
  speaking highly about his family and sharing the dynamic, being
• 6:02:27
  honest and forward about thoughts and opinions, indirectly teaching how
• 6:02:30
  to listen and critically think about what you hear. Infectious
• 6:02:33
  laugh when you get rolling, his phrase from the Shays,
• 6:02:37
  the three by threes, his hilarious and quite inaccurate imitation
• 6:02:40
  of Mimi, his pet peeves, rants, and not a great
• 6:02:43
  questions, and so many other things that I will forever
• 6:02:46
  cherish and will dearly miss. I never got the opportunity
• 6:02:49
  to meet John. I've only had one or two correspondence
• 6:02:52
  through email. But I've never cared that much for those
• 6:02:56
  kinds of things. His legacy has made an impact on
• 6:02:59
  me regardless. Because of him, we've also gotten to know
• 6:03:02
  the great woman behind every man, Mimi. We can't imagine
• 6:03:06
  everything you and family are going through, but we love
• 6:03:08
  you guys as much as we love John in my
• 6:03:10
  prayers and thinking of you guys. Michael Cross, 93, 64.
• 6:03:14
  John will be dearly missed. For more than four decades,
• 6:03:17
  he was part of so many lives through his writing
• 6:03:20
  and broadcasting. His wit and humor were unmatched. Condolences to
• 6:03:23
  Mimi, his kids, and grandkids, everyone who knew and loved
• 6:03:27
  him. These are actually 8888, so I'll just stop mentioning
• 6:03:30
  the number. It's plus the fees. Thank you. Jake counts.
• 6:03:36
  Excuse me. Rest in peace, JCD. Your authentic take on
• 6:03:39
  the world left us with one saving grace. We can
• 6:03:42
  all imagine that JCD would say to all of silly
• 6:03:45
  Con Valley press releases and M5M, it's a scam. Thank
• 6:03:50
  you to my neighbor Ryan for hitting me in the
• 6:03:52
  mouth 10 years ago. Thank you for your courage. David
• 6:03:55
  Druffner. Prayers for Mimi, John, Mimi, and the family. Loved
• 6:03:59
  John's takes in PC Magazine in the 80s. Was delighted
• 6:04:02
  to find him on Twitch. Then no agenda and got
• 6:04:05
  a double delight discovering Curry again. Much respect for his
• 6:04:08
  independence. Orange man bad JCD jingle. Yes. Chris Bro. B-R-E-I-U-X.
• 6:04:15
  Thanks, JCD. You left the world better than you found
• 6:04:18
  it. From Chris and Angela in Sour Lake, Texas. Please
• 6:04:21
  say you after Sour Lake, just like... Jim Andrinacos. We
• 6:04:27
  love you, JCD. May the Lord have mercy on his
• 6:04:29
  servant. Stephen Corbine. Thank you, Stephen. No note. Alexandra Miller.
• 6:04:34
  Our heartfelt condolences to John's family and the No Agenda
• 6:04:37
  family. You're in our thoughts, sending love and gratitude. His
• 6:04:40
  voice will be deeply missed. No note from Jeffrey Anderson.
• 6:04:43
  Thank you. Michael Arabinko. Condolences to the Dvorak and No
• 6:04:48
  Agenda families, although John and I never met. I lost
• 6:04:51
  a friend. Natalie Taylor, Lebanon, Taylor, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. So sad
• 6:04:57
  to hear about John's passing. Been listening to No Agenda
• 6:05:00
  for about 16 years. Heard the news right before bed
• 6:05:03
  and couldn't sleep a wink. John was a favorite. Deepest
• 6:05:06
  condolences to Adam, Andrew, Tina, Mimi, and family. So let's
• 6:05:10
  give you a break. Thank you. Is JC there? He's
• 6:05:15
  probably in the troll room, trolling the trolls. I'm here.
• 6:05:19
  I'm here. Okay. So... We left off. The number is...
• 6:05:26
  297. 297. Okay, I was looking around the 280s. Or
• 6:05:31
  296. 296, 298. Going once, going twice. Which one is
• 6:05:36
  it? 296. 298. 298. 298. Robert, write it. 93.64 cents.
• 6:05:43
  JCD, thanks for all of the value you created over
• 6:05:46
  the years. You'll be missed. My thoughts are with Adam
• 6:05:48
  and your family. I read your work in the 80s
• 6:05:51
  and started listening to No Agenda in 2013. I'll continue
• 6:05:54
  to be a monthly donor. So you don't have to
• 6:05:56
  worry about the number. We all know what they are.
• 6:05:59
  skip that part. But the number for it's fun. Okay,
• 6:06:01
  fine. Dame Rebecca Pinehurst. Pinehurst, home of American golf. All
• 6:06:07
  right, anyway. My sincere condolences to the John C. Dvorak
• 6:06:10
  family and Adam Curry. Lifting up in prayer during this
• 6:06:14
  time for grace and healing. Dame Rebecca of Pinehurst. I'll
• 6:06:18
  be birdin'. Godspeed, JCD. John Straub. Don't know why, but
• 6:06:23
  I loved it every time he tried to get away
• 6:06:25
  with cracking a seltzer open on air like Adam couldn't
• 6:06:27
  hear it. Mike Straub is still a douchebag. Arno. ITM,
• 6:06:34
  Mimi and Adam. In honor of John, this is an
• 6:06:36
  88-88 donation. Condolences to Mimi, their children, other family and
• 6:06:41
  friends. Together with Adam, he was the best podcaster in
• 6:06:43
  the universe. Raw Aguilera. I started listening in 2020 when
• 6:06:49
  I heard Brett Vanoet talking about it on the School
• 6:06:53
  Sucks podcast. I fell in love with the show. I
• 6:06:56
  love John and was devastated to hear this. Thank you
• 6:06:58
  for everything, John, and condolences to Mimi and Adam. and
• 6:07:01
  peace. Ditch Walker. Love and light, JCD. I had read
• 6:07:06
  the newsletter three times before it somewhat sunk in. But
• 6:07:09
  thank you for all you have done and that your
• 6:07:12
  legacy will continue to do in the No Agenda community
• 6:07:14
  and the world that matters. R.I.P. Ditchwalker. Richard Crabtree, no
• 6:07:18

  You will be missed. Peace and love to all you
• 6:07:27
  have touched with your wit and wisdom. Eric Hulse. Katy,
• 6:07:31
  Texas. I'm gutted by the loss of JCD. I never
• 6:07:35
  met him, but despite that, I feel like I knew
• 6:07:37
  him. I'll truly miss his voice every week, and I'm
• 6:07:39
  praying for Adam and the family. Ryan Hasselhorst. No, no.
• 6:07:43
  Jonathan Chow. Rest in peace, John. Thanks for everything. Thank
• 6:07:47
  you, Adam. You're doing the Lord's work. Carol Molinari, no

  value to my ears for 19 years. Damon Kazakh Jack.

  ITM. Sir Bates. Kyle Carroll in Big Spring, Texas. Godspeed,
• 6:08:38
  Buzzkill. Thank you so much for the wonderful podcast and
• 6:08:41
  for making my Sundays and Thursdays a little less long.
• 6:08:45
  You are a steady and ever-present part of my life
• 6:08:47
  and you'll be missed terribly. Michelle Christ three you will
• 6:08:52
  be missed jcd3 William Galt. Dvarak is giving me guilt.
• 6:08:57
  I hear his ghostly donate and feel his hand reaching
• 6:09:00
  down from above, even in the afterlife. John is working
• 6:09:03
  hard for the show and his family. Relax well, John.
• 6:09:05
  I know you won't rest. Though he's mostly just been
• 6:09:08
  giving us technical difficulties. So he's mostly just, he's just
• 6:09:13
  mostly pranking. Yeah. Yeah. That's John. Alex Wenka. Rest in
• 6:09:19
  peace, JCD. Godspeed. Terrence Catapano, Berkeley, California. No note. John

  everything you do and my heart goes out to everyone
• 6:10:15
  in the No Agenda family during this sad time. Jason

  Michalowski, Duluth, Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota. I remember these things from
• 6:10:29
  grade school. Sure you do. I never worked as a
• 6:10:33
  postal worker. I thought this was a sad puppy's ploy.
• 6:10:36
  Didn't believe it. Now I can't believe it. You're my
• 6:10:39
  go-to listen at the gym. Other meatheads are lifting to
• 6:10:42
  death metal or gangster rap. I'm giggling like half a
• 6:10:45
  retard to the greatest podcast in the universe. You're that
• 6:10:50
  guy on the Stairmaster. Kristen Hanlon. Listening for a little
• 6:10:57
  less than a year, this Gen Xer has grown so
• 6:10:59
  fond of the No-Genda, I struggle to imagine how this
• 6:11:02
  will move forward Dvorak. Listening to episode 1888 as I
• 6:11:08
  write, sending sincerest condolences to all. Rest in peace. Anonymous.

  Anonymous. Sarah in South London. Hearing John chuckle in the
• 6:11:24
  show always made me chuckle, even if I didn't get
• 6:11:26
  the joke. I will really miss John. Prayers and blessings
• 6:11:29
  to his family and Adam from Sarah in South London.
• 6:11:32
  Thank you, Sarah. Joel Cox in Indianola. Pennsylvania. Thank you.
• 6:11:42
  Uh, I... I started watching John on Silicon Spin, then
• 6:11:46
  followed him to Cranky Geeks and Twit. When No Agenda
• 6:11:49
  began, I was there for episode one. I was laid
• 6:11:51
  off in June 2014 and fell away from the show
• 6:11:53
  for a while, but I returned in November 2015. Since
• 6:11:56
  then, No Agenda has been my North Star for sanity.
• 6:11:58
  For years, I tried to hit people in the mouth.
• 6:12:00
  Sadly, I was only successful once, but they fell overboard.
• 6:12:04
  The combined wisdom and experience of John and Adam never
• 6:12:06
  ceased to amaze me. I always wished John would write
• 6:12:08
  a book filled with all his stories. They were incredible,
• 6:12:11
  and John was always so insightful. I'll miss him forever.
• 6:12:13
  Thank you. Throughout episode 1888, I found myself close to
• 6:12:17
  tears several times. I lost my dad on March 5th
• 6:12:19
  of this year while driving to dinner that night. I
• 6:12:21
  started listening to No Agenda and immediately noticed that the
• 6:12:23
  introduction was different. Then I heard the news that John
• 6:12:25
  was in the hospital. I was so relieved that he
• 6:12:27
  recovered. On Wednesday afternoon, I received a newsletter. I initially
• 6:12:30
  thought this subject line had to be clickbait. I could
• 6:12:33
  not believe it was real. The world will never be
• 6:12:35
  the same without John. For the past year, I had
• 6:12:38
  been listening to the show live and then listening to
• 6:12:40
  it all over again afterward. John's voice, stories, wisdom, and
• 6:12:43
  humor became part of the rhythm of my life. I'll
• 6:12:45
  forever miss John. P.S. I know the city says Indianola
• 6:12:48
  on PayPal, but I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Okay. Good
• 6:12:52

  Mark LeClair. I started listening after Adam was on the
• 6:13:13
  Glenn Beck show the first Christmas after COVID. Working the
• 6:13:16
  holidays at UPS. The show got me through the 10,
• 6:13:18
  12-hour workdays. I loved hearing John's anecdote about the tech
• 6:13:22
  industry, wine, publishing, etc. Heart. Daniel Pritchett. I'm sad that
• 6:13:28
  our favorite Puzzkill has left us behind. I'm confident that
• 6:13:30
  the Podfather and the wonderful No Agenda producers will keep
• 6:13:32
  the show going strong. I'll be blasting classical music to

  keep the varmints away in John's honor. Myers. It's tough
• 6:13:42
  to think of a favorite memory of JCD among the
• 6:13:44
  600 plus episodes I've heard. So I'll just stick to
• 6:13:46
  something from my favorite person. When John had his heart
• 6:13:48
  attack, I told my wife and showed her the picture
• 6:13:50
  in the newsletter. She instantly replied, aw, he's so cute.
• 6:13:53
  I'm sure he'd love that. Love, thoughts, and prayers from
• 6:13:56
  the Myers family. Alex. Ivan, Jacqueline, and Kennedy to all.
• 6:14:02
  Sent from a phone that would be better off in
• 6:14:03
  a drawer. Sir Waldo, in the morning, in memory of
• 6:14:08
  JCD, who I read in PCMag in the 80s, watched
• 6:14:11
  on CDTV in the 90s, and listened on my first
• 6:14:14
  MP3 player in the 05s on Twit, then No Agenda.
• 6:14:17
  Thanks for the memories. Sir Waldo of the Lake, Lower
• 6:14:19
  Alabama, exec producer, episode 1500. Spencer Christian. John was one
• 6:14:25
  of those rare voices who could hear the hidden manipulation
• 6:14:27
  inside the M5M linguistic mastery. He had an extraordinary ability
• 6:14:32
  to stop a clip, pull apart the framing, buzzwords, and
• 6:14:34
  manufacture narratives and reveal the spell they were trying to
• 6:14:36
  cast. I always found his sharpness fascinating, not simply because
• 6:14:39
  he was skeptical, but because his skepticism was informed by
• 6:14:42
  deep knowledge, long experience, and willingness to say what others
• 6:14:44
  might overlook. He understood. Technology, media, and the business forces
• 6:14:50
  behind both. He was never intimidated by consensus. He will
• 6:14:53
  be dearly missed. Aloha, Spencer. Ashley Williams, no note. David
• 6:14:58
  Kelly, Dublin. I will miss John, especially his sense of
• 6:15:00
  humor. I can still clearly remember laughing my ass off
• 6:15:03
  when he started announcing the girls like Raven and No
• 6:15:06
  Agenda Club 33. Thinking of Mimi, the Dvorak family, and
• 6:15:09
  Adam. Rest in peace. JCD. Paul Tittle. John C. Dvorak,
• 6:15:13
  in my opinion, will go down as one of the
• 6:15:14
  best broadcasters of all time. Listening to him and Adam
• 6:15:17
  on air was a distinct privilege of our time, and
• 6:15:19
  I tried my best not to take it for granted,
• 6:15:21
  because even the best things aren't forever. Three. Bethany Elliott.
• 6:15:26
  Adam, I'm deeply saddened to hear of John's passing. My
• 6:15:28
  heart goes out to the Dvorak family. Losing the family
• 6:15:30
  patriarch is incredibly painful. However, it can also bring the
• 6:15:32
  family together in a different dynamic. This includes the No
• 6:15:34
  Agenda family. Although I don't think John would have liked
• 6:15:38
  me personally, I liked him. And I always look forward
• 6:15:40
  to listening, listening, and laughing. He didn't like anybody. Come
• 6:15:44
  on. No, really. He would have liked the briefness of
• 6:15:46
  your note. Yes. Thank you for your courage. Yours truly,
• 6:15:50
  Beth. Isaac Boyney. Thank you for your courage, JCD. No
• 6:15:54
  agenda has been the voice of sanity for me. Filling
• 6:15:57
  the void that was left with Rush's passing. John's loss
• 6:15:59
  feels very similar. I pray that you find the strength
• 6:16:01
  to continue because the world needs you, Adam. ITM. Alex
• 6:16:05
  Bell. May his courage be eternal and his thank yous
• 6:16:07
  never cease. Frank? Chia Petta. Chia Petta in Carpentersville, Illinois.
• 6:16:15
  I'm going to miss John's humor, his laugh, the vast
• 6:16:17
  knowledge he brought from the wide range of experiences accumulated
• 6:16:19
  throughout the awesome life he lived. Prayers to his family
• 6:16:22
  and Adam. Our peace. RIP, JCD. Dave Clark. Dear Adam,
• 6:16:28
  Keeper, Mimi, and the family. Like so many others, this
• 6:16:31
  week has not only left me gutted at John's passing,
• 6:16:33
  but curious as to how someone I haven't personally met
• 6:16:36
  could have meant so much and left such a void.
• 6:16:39
  I'll leave this short out of respect for John's liking
• 6:16:42
  of short notes, but please see the attached clip of
• 6:16:43
  John's shout-out to me during a donation segment, as it's
• 6:16:46
  one of my most happy moments of my life. Prayers
• 6:16:48
  for you all. Dave Clark, a.k.a. The Unknown Knight, also
• 6:16:52
  the broke air traffic controller. Yes. We have a lot
• 6:16:55
  of air traffic controllers who listen to this show, and
• 6:16:57
  it's appreciated. Sir Fatigued Coder of Knoxville, Tennessee. IT morning.
• 6:17:08
  Punctuality has never been my strong suit. As a teen,
• 6:17:10
  when I arrived at my grandfather's house well after I
• 6:17:13
  was supposed to, he said, well, if it isn't the
• 6:17:16
  late Daniel Summers. My two and a half decades in
• 6:17:19
  the Air Force made that a bit better, but I
• 6:17:21
  still struggle. Thank you for your second chance for a
• 6:17:24
  tribute. Well, before that teenage incident, I had magazines with
• 6:17:28
  John's writing. Throughout his career, he brought a unique perspective.
• 6:17:32
  His skepticism was rooted in his ability to see through
• 6:17:35
  a marketing bull crap and his ever-expanding knowledge. It's a
• 6:17:40
  skill I've tried to learn and emulate throughout my career.
• 6:17:43
  My prayers have been twofold. Gratitude for all I learned
• 6:17:46
  from John and the laughs he provided, and peace for
• 6:17:49
  Mimi and his family, Adam and Tina, and no agendination.
• 6:17:53
  RIP, JCD, Sir Fatigued Coder. Easy Landscapes. Greetings from North
• 6:18:00
  Stonington, Connecticut. I was never planning to email or contact
• 6:18:05
  your show as I believe the value for your value
• 6:18:07
  system. My business, Easy Landscapes, has been doing the $50
• 6:18:12
  monthly donation thing since 2021. I stumbled upon you during
• 6:18:17
  COVID and my business partner and I love listening and
• 6:18:20
  talking about the show. I started my Friday as usual
• 6:18:24
  downloading your podcast and heading out to mow lawns. I
• 6:18:27
  had no knowledge that GCD had passed, so by 9
• 6:18:30
  a.m., I was blubbering like a baby after Adam's intro.
• 6:18:33
  Of course, hearing Mimi warmed my heart and listening to
• 6:18:37
  the Value for Value producers emailing their thoughts and prayers.
• 6:18:41
  As I'm writing this, I'm tearing up because everyone hit
• 6:18:44
  every feeling I went through all day. Adam, your words
• 6:18:47
  were beautiful. Mimi, thank you for sharing that he passed
• 6:18:51
  quickly and without pain. It's amazing the impact an individual
• 6:18:55
  whom you've never met has made upon you for the
• 6:18:59
  No Agenda show has done just that. made me part
• 6:19:03
  of a larger family. May God bless you, and my
• 6:19:06
  thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. Disabled
• 6:19:10
  veteran, small business owner, married, father of two. With much
• 6:19:14
  gratitude, Eric. Charles George, no note. Sir Lefant. Um, I'm
• 6:19:23
  so sad and sorry for everyone. lose, but I am
• 6:19:27
  also equally as grateful that I got hit in the
• 6:19:30
  mouth and I got to enjoy John's voice in my
• 6:19:33
  ear for six hours a week for years. You're going
• 6:19:36
  to be truly missed, my friend, truly missed. Thank you
• 6:19:39
  for being such a good human. R.I.P. Buzzkill. Black Knight.
• 6:19:44
  C'est la France. Gary Marquardt. Marquardt? Yeah, you name it.
• 6:19:50
  Marquardt. Yeah. No, no. Nicole Iovan, 8888 for all the
• 6:19:58
  JCD value and for the reminder.
• 6:20:00
  recent weeks that the most simple explanation is probably the
• 6:20:04
  most likely. Carrie Meeks, no note. Jeanette Boer. Dear John,
• 6:20:12
  because of you and Adam, I have stopped following the
• 6:20:18
  news 15 years ago. It brings me so much peace,
• 6:20:21
  and I owe you both so much. Thank you for
• 6:20:23
  all the insights you never see or hear on MSM.
• 6:20:28
  So many beautiful words are already spoken, so I keep
• 6:20:30
  it short the way John liked. My heart goes out
• 6:20:33
  to Mimi, the children, and grandchildren, friends, and of course
• 6:20:36
  you, Adam. Rest in peace, John. Love from the Netherlands.
• 6:20:40
  Je ne t'pour. From Bentello Overijssel. Overijssel. Bentello Overijssel, yes.
• 6:20:48
  Overijssel. How did you not know that, Brendan? Overijssel. It's
• 6:20:53
  so easy. It's so obvious. Is J a Y sound
• 6:20:58
  in Dutch? Adam, please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. Yes,
• 6:21:05
  Brendan. The I-J is an I. Overijssel. Over the aysel.
• 6:21:13
  Yes. Got it. Yeah, and it's like it's a double
• 6:21:16
  S. Of course. Over the aysel. It's over the aysel.
• 6:21:20
  I can't believe I speak that language, honestly. Yes. It's
• 6:21:23
  kind of impressive. Much less give a shit about it.
• 6:21:28
  I care. Mark Malin, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. No note. Merek
• 6:21:34
  Klaudik, every time I drive John and Adam sitting in
• 6:21:39
  the car with me, I have this parasocial relationship with
• 6:21:43
  the two father figures, listening, them talking, arguing, and then
• 6:21:47
  we laugh together. Thank you for your decades of entertainment
• 6:21:49
  and knowledge you shared. April Kyle from Carmel, Indiana. I
• 6:21:57
  was hit in the mouth by Dame Cindy of the
• 6:21:59
  Tito's about four years ago, and I have been listening
• 6:22:02
  with On My Morning Walks day after show ever since.
• 6:22:07
  I have learned so much from John and Adam. appreciate
• 6:22:10
  their take on all things around the world. It has
• 6:22:13
  truly kept me sane in this totally insane world. I
• 6:22:16
  especially enjoyed their entertaining banter. JCD is the second person
• 6:22:20
  in less than a year that I have cried for
• 6:22:23
  that I have never met. I've started a $3.33 monthly
• 6:22:28
  donation in his honor. Thank you for all of you.
• 6:22:31
  Mimi, family, and Adam are in my thoughts. R.I.P. April
• 6:22:36
  Kyle from Carmel. Sir Denonymous. I think that's what it
• 6:22:41
  says. Denonymous, yes. Denonymous. Got it. John's stories made me
• 6:22:46
  laugh out loud, which got me some strange looks while
• 6:22:50
  listening on the train. From ants peeing on people to
• 6:22:54
  the pranks. Not many people can say they had such
• 6:22:58
  an impact on so many lives. Rest in peace, John.
• 6:23:01
  Sir Denonymous. And Sir Denonymous, we thank him because he
• 6:23:05
  was the brains and the muscle and the hardware and
• 6:23:09
  software behind BingIt.io. AHHHHHH Which has helped a lot. He's
• 6:23:17
  allowed to make laugh on the train. Yes, of course.
• 6:23:21
  Brian Yount. In 53 years, JCD is the second public
• 6:23:26
  figure I've cried for. His voice was a regular part
• 6:23:29
  of my life, and his wealth of stories and insights
• 6:23:31
  amazed and amused me. I know he'd want the show
• 6:23:34
  to soldier on, as we need community now more than
• 6:23:38
  ever. God bless. Andrew Lentfer Long live the memory of
• 6:23:44
  John C. Dvorak, where the C stands for Crusader of
• 6:23:46
  Truth and calling out the bull crap. I just want
• 6:23:50
  John's family to know that he had an immeasurably positive
• 6:23:53
  influence on my life, and they should be proud to
• 6:23:56
  call him kin. This week has been dark, but the
• 6:24:01
  world is brighter from John's shining example. Love from the
• 6:24:05
  high desert. James and Deborah from Trimble, Missouri. The only
• 6:24:10
  note is... John will be missed by my husband and
• 6:24:15
  I. He and Adam have been part of our lives
• 6:24:18
  for about 15 years. found DH Unplugged a couple years
• 6:24:22
  ago. John's humor was one of a kind. We are
• 6:24:25
  sorry for your loss and we're keeping your family in
• 6:24:27
  our prayers. James and Debra. Tyler of the Wailing City.
• 6:24:31
  I finally realized the value I received from this show
• 6:24:35
  when I shed some tears hearing of JCD's passing. My
• 6:24:39
  condolences to the Dvorak family and to you, Adam, during
• 6:24:42
  this time. Hopefully eternity allows you to still grouse, JCD.
• 6:24:48
  I'm sure of it. Tyler of the Wailing City. Jason
• 6:24:52
  Carver. Rest in peace, JCD. We'll be greatly missed. John

  right. Burigin. Burigin. You got close. Oh, bear shit. Oh.
• 6:25:34
  Christian Berrigan. Okay. This is my first large donation amount,
• 6:25:38
  so please de-douche. You've been de-douched. Russ Allen hit me
• 6:25:46
  in the mouth during the COVID shutdowns. Adam, you and
• 6:25:49
  John kept me sane. That insanity and for that I'm
• 6:25:52
  forever grateful. Thanks to John. Now and then, I keep
• 6:25:56
  my phone in a drawer and turned off. I also
• 6:26:00
  hit my husband in the mouth pretty hard, and he
• 6:26:02
  started from episode one last year. But the punch to
• 6:26:05
  the gut was knowing that John passed on... On my
• 6:26:09
  birthday? Oh. It's a blessing in disguise and away now.
• 6:26:13
  We're forever thankful we gave our time to John and
• 6:26:16
  your wisdom and we'll continue to do so through the
• 6:26:19
  archive. I'd also like to share that I'm doing a
• 6:26:22
  novena prayer for John. Adam and Mimi and family, we
• 6:26:27
  love you and you're in our prayers too. God bless
• 6:26:30
  you. Randy O'Rourke. I was deeply saddened to hear the
• 6:26:35
  news of John's passing this morning. Although I never had
• 6:26:38
  the pleasure of meeting him in person, I felt as
• 6:26:41
  though I knew him through listening to his stories and
• 6:26:43
  insights over the last 16 years. He will be greatly
• 6:26:46
  missed. Please know that I am praying for Mimi and
• 6:26:49
  the rest of the family, as well as for you
• 6:26:51
  and Tina during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Randy
• 6:26:55
  O'Rourke. Stephanie Lucek? Lucek. Lucek. We are so sad. We
• 6:27:03
  will miss hearing John's voice. Dave? Shawana Beck. What the
• 6:27:10
  ultimate buzzkill. First in peace, Sean. Thank you for the
• 6:27:15
  words of wisdom, insightful tips, great humor, and honest opinions.
• 6:27:19
  You'll be missed by many. Sir Pent, Sharon, Massachusetts. The
• 6:27:25
  world is a little colder now. I first saw John
• 6:27:27
  when I was eight years old on tech TV and
• 6:27:31
  had his voice in my ear for hours every week
• 6:27:33
  since 2021. Words cannot express how much we will miss
• 6:27:38
  him. I pray for him and for all the No
• 6:27:40
  Agenda family. Serpent88888888 Jason Larson, ITM. Listen to episode 1887
• 6:27:51
  a second time. JCD actually had the best exit strategy
• 6:27:56
  ever. Great last episode as always, Tech Grouch. We all
• 6:28:00
  hope to go doing what we loved. P.S. I need
• 6:28:04
  a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Black Mountain, North Carolina. Dear
• 6:28:13
  Adam and Mimi. Attached is a phone recording of the
• 6:28:17
  Mount Mitchell. 6600 Weekly Amateur Radio Net. Time of recording,
• 6:28:23
  Saturday, July 25th, 2026. I don't have the recording, so
• 6:28:31
  that's fine. Since this call signed... I don't know how
• 6:28:34
  to do call signs, Adam. Kilo Juliet 6 Lima November

  Gulf. He would say liquid natural gas. Or C. Wood.
• 6:28:45
  Renewed in November 2022. I felt it appropriate to give
• 6:28:48
  him a last call. Okay, I can't read this one
• 6:28:52
  anymore. JC or Adam. It's a tradition for amateurs who
• 6:28:56
  pass away and are now silent. SK, silent key. Yeah.
• 6:29:31
  so kind, Adam, as to de-douche me. My family continues
• 6:29:34
  to pray for John's family and friends. ITM and 73s.
• 6:29:40
  So first de-douche him and then Adam has to read
• 6:29:42
  this stupid kilo. It's kilo mic for... You got it.
• 6:29:46
  Keep going. Keep going. You can do it. You got
• 6:29:50
  it. You got it. Flamingo. Foxtrot. Foxtrot. Lima. Golf. Golf.
• 6:29:56
  Yeah. Yay. Actually, let me just deduce.
• 6:30:01
  You've been de-douched. I have the call, the final call.

  Kilo Juliet 6, Lima, November Golf. This is KM4FLG. Kilo

  call. Kilo Juliet 6. Lima, November Gulf. This is KM4FLG.
• 6:30:41
  Nothing heard. John, Godspeed, brother. 73's in the morning. Thank
• 6:30:48
  you for your service. KM4FLG, back to net control. There
• 6:30:54
  you go. That's how we do it in Hamlet. That
• 6:30:58
  one hit me hard. And it's Christian Future Night. It's

• 6:31:13
  Well, I can jump in with some... Go ahead, JC.
• 6:31:16
  No, just go ahead. What row are we on? 375.
• 6:31:20
  375. I also wanted to point out something kind of
• 6:31:24
  wacky. 1887 was when the Dvoraks first arrived in the
• 6:31:32
  U.S. When they moved to Minneapolis, Jacob Dvorak was a
• 6:31:40
  sewer worker. Well, that makes lots of sense. Okay, JC,
• 6:31:44
  go ahead. All right, all right. That's why you attracted
• 6:31:47
  so many ants. Yes. All right. Sir Paul from Twinkenham,
• 6:31:56
  Great Britain. For 15 years, no agenda has brought me
• 6:31:59
  laughter, insight, and a sense of community. The news of
• 6:32:02
  John's passing made me sad beyond belief, and I will
• 6:32:04
  greatly miss his humor, grouchy comments, and soothing voice. Love,
• 6:32:07
  prayer, Sir Paul from Twinkenham. Ray Jacobson. Best critical thinker

  ever. Mr. Keck. Mickey Keck. Mickey Keck. Mickey Keck. Nothing.

  No, no. Anna Reichard. When I first met my now
• 6:32:23
  husband, I was a raging liberal minus the blue hair
• 6:32:25
  and TikTok grants. As a test, he tasked me to
• 6:32:27
  listen to No Agenda in 2022. Immediately, I was hooked
• 6:32:31
  and began to shrink my amygdala. Simply put, this podcast
• 6:32:34
  changed my life. It made me laugh when the world
• 6:32:36
  felt so hopeless. It made me question when the media
• 6:32:38
  told me what to think. Thank you, John, for every
• 6:32:40
  Thursday and Sunday for the last four years. I've never
• 6:32:43
  been so grateful to someone I've never met. Another life
• 6:32:46
  saved. Yes. Ness Works in Seattle. I lost my father
• 6:32:53
  in 2017. Best to be hit in the mouth by
• 6:32:56
  my close friend during the COVID era, I gravitate to
• 6:32:59
  YouTube dudes every Thursday and Sunday. I threw my hat
• 6:33:02
  into the ring of art submissions hoping to add value
• 6:33:04
  for value. As an art contributor, I appreciate it and
• 6:33:06
  respect it, and was inspired by John's analysis and critiques
• 6:33:10
  of weekly art submissions. Adam, as you know, when I
• 6:33:13
  sent y'all the funny video of your amazing hair that
• 6:33:15
  I captured off of an old VHS tape from the
• 6:33:17
  89 MTV Awards, John's reply back was, check the calendar.
• 6:33:25
  I had tears of laughter. Now I have tears of
• 6:33:27
  sorrow knowing how much we're all going to miss him.

  Prayer and loves, Nessworks. Yeah, Nessworks has done a lot

  of art for us. Dr. Junonymous. My buzz has been

  killed with love, Dr. Junonymous. Sean Murray, thank you for
• 6:33:42
  everything, my friend. I miss you already. George Rosansky. Bless
• 6:33:47
  me, Podfather, for I have sinned. This is unfortunately my
• 6:33:49
  long overdue first donation. For JCD, thank you for the
• 6:33:54
  memories. Blessings to all the family and friends and trolls.
• 6:33:56
  Keep on keeping on. You've been de-douched. Lacey Classic Decor.
• 6:34:06
  I am heartbroken. You'll be missed. My God, wrap his
• 6:34:10
  healing hands around your family and friends. Mark Hall. Oh,
• 6:34:14
  Mark, our official documentarian. Deeply saddened when I heard of
• 6:34:21
  JCD's death a few days ago. Learned a lot from
• 6:34:24
  him. Greatly valued. Release the vinegar book. The Republic needs
• 6:34:27
  it. It does. John, you will be remembered. Lydia Terry.

• 6:34:45
  we're now at $90. $90. Suit and tie guy in
• 6:34:47
  Chillicothe, Illinois. I'll keep this short because I posted a
• 6:34:54
  long thing and great photos from the February Oakland meetup
• 6:34:56
  on Twitter and Instagram and you are going to be
• 6:34:58
  swamped. When I met John this year, I was too
• 6:35:01
  stressed to ask him what it was like to work
• 6:35:03
  with Jared Taylor back in the 80s. That lore is
• 6:35:05
  lost to the cosmos. People, you need to remember you
• 6:35:08
  might not ever get a second chance. They are here
• 6:35:10
  and then they are not. Always remember the last time
• 6:35:13
  you see someone might be the last and treat them
• 6:35:14
  with that respect. My sincerest condolences to the Dvorak and
• 6:35:18
  Curry families and whoever actually knew them. Thank you for
• 6:35:20
  everything. Randy Lambert, Lafayette, Louisiana. 89-19, or 89-12, rather. Oh,
• 6:35:29
  first let me express my sympathy and sorrow for all
• 6:35:31
  y'all's loss. I have been an avid listener for four
• 6:35:34
  years. Joe Rogan sent me. Ha ha. First time donating
• 6:35:38
  to the show? Sucks it had to be under these
• 6:35:39
  circumstances. Can't imagine how it is to lose someone so
• 6:35:43
  special as he was that I have known for so
• 6:35:45
  long. I'll keep you all on my thoughts and prayers.
• 6:35:48
  No need to read this on air. Well, too late.
• 6:35:50
  If you don't want. My own selfishness hopes the show
• 6:35:53
  goes on as it's one of the few things I
• 6:35:55
  have to look forward to. Whatever the good Lord has
• 6:35:57
  planned, your brother in Christ, Randy. You've been de-douched. in
• 6:36:07
  Roanoke, Virginia. Dear Adam and Mimi, we achieved our layaway
• 6:36:15
  night in Dame Hood last February, right around the time
• 6:36:17
  of John's surgery. Instead of claiming it right away, we
• 6:36:20
  decided to reserve it to celebrate our 30th anniversary, also
• 6:36:22
  on 8-8. It feels a little hollow now with John's
• 6:36:25
  passing. Brian has been a loyal follower since 2010 after
• 6:36:31
  hearing John promote the show on Twit. Becca came around
• 6:36:34
  a bit later, around 2012. You've been in constant twice-a-week
• 6:36:37
  listen, inspiring many of our nine kids to repeat the
• 6:36:39
  jingles. Wow. Becca has often called John her spirit animal,
• 6:36:44
  as they've lost track of the numerous times that she
• 6:36:46
  directs some story only to have John repeat the exact
• 6:36:48
  same comment moments later. Poor Brian. Since all of our
• 6:36:53
  donations have been under the $50 threshold, we both need
• 6:36:56
  a dedouching. Brian requests to be named Sir Brian, Knight
• 6:36:59
  of Dross Del Nock. He'd like Kurgle's pickled bologna and
• 6:37:04
  Renard's squeaky cheese at the round table. Becca requests to
• 6:37:10
  be named Dame Contrarian, Seeker of Truth, and would like
• 6:37:12
  Cattleman's Steak and Donuts for the roundtable. If jingles are
• 6:37:15
  permitted, we'd like Drone Again and some R2-D2 Karma. It
• 6:37:18
  feels like we've lost a dear family friend, Knoltses to
• 6:37:21
  Dvoraks, Adams, and everyone that John's life touched. Prayers for
• 6:37:24
  everyone. You've been de-douched. Hold on, we gotta do one
• 6:37:30
  more. You've been de-douched. Starwood in the Heartland, $88.89. JCD
• 6:37:42
  wouldn't want us to stand on ceremony. A great man
• 6:37:45
  who helped many see through the bullshit veil presented to
• 6:37:48
  us. You'll be missed, oh cranky geek. Surface tension. Sean
• 6:37:54
  Stedman, a.k.a. Surface Tension, Vero Beach, Florida. Goodbye, Uncle John.
• 6:37:58
  Thank you for putting the C's in connection as protection.
• 6:38:03
  Love and light to everyone in the Gitmo Nation. Onward.

  Emily Allman, 88, 89. Jay Do- Do-karty. Do-karty? Dockarty. Dockarty.
• 6:38:15
  Dockarty. Dockarty. Dockarty. 88, 89. I started listening to No
• 6:38:22
  Agenda in 2009. Prior to that, I was a big
• 6:38:24
  fan of John's Cranky Geeks. And prior to that, I
• 6:38:26
  always enjoyed his naysayers coverage of the various tech expos.
• 6:38:29
  John was right. No one uses a mouse anymore. We
• 6:38:32
  love you, John. Rest well. Justin Ardenaux, 8889, no note.
• 6:38:37
  These are all 8889, I suspect. William Link, Dave from
• 6:38:42
  Biera, some of the best pipes ever. thoroughly enjoyed him
• 6:38:46
  casually changing the subject when he was uninterested in Adam's
• 6:38:49
  content being presented. Yeah, I enjoyed that so much. Prank
• 6:38:54
  for JCD's family and Adam during your time of loss.
• 6:38:57
  Gone but never forgotten, JCD. Justin Kaler. I came for
• 6:39:01
  Adam Curry, stayed for both. I had never heard of
• 6:39:04
  JCD before No Agenda, but I am extremely grateful for
• 6:39:07
  finding him through this podcast. COVID, wars, or whatever the
• 6:39:09
  media spewed, JCD was there to buzzkill him. Rest in
• 6:39:11
  peace, buzzkill. Sir Justin of the Parlor City. Sir Recalcitrant
• 6:39:16
  Crazy Steve II and Dame Dream Girl Rose. Thank you
• 6:39:20
  for letting me host JCD for our meetups every couple
• 6:39:22
  of months since October 2023. I would have started there
• 6:39:26
  sooner, but I initially believed I need to be a
• 6:39:28
  knight to properly host. Boy, was I wrong. I probably
• 6:39:31
  could have gotten away with being a douchebag and hosted
• 6:39:32
  one. I listened to my first... Yes. Yeah, please. See,
• 6:39:36
  everyone can host. Anyone. Yeah. I listened to my first
• 6:39:42
  full episode of No Gender during the episode 1300 celebration
• 6:39:45
  in the middle of COVID, and I was instantly converted
• 6:39:47
  by all the common sense that was entering my ears.
• 6:39:50
  I later met John at my first meetup I ever
• 6:39:52
  attended in San Francisco at the New Belgium Brewery on
• 6:39:54
  May 15th, 2021. After that, I attended meetups hosted by
• 6:39:58
  Baron Captain Luke in Noe Valley.
• 6:40:00
  hoping John would return, but he never did. I decided
• 6:40:02
  to start meetups at the Mallard Club to get him
• 6:40:04
  out of the house because I knew John lived somewhere
• 6:40:06
  nearby, and the rest is history. I'm going to miss
• 6:40:08
  waiting for JCD to arrive at these meetups and handing
• 6:40:11
  him an envelope. However, I plan to keep these meetups
• 6:40:13
  going in John's honor in Albany and Oakland. I'll be
• 6:40:16
  always grateful for these gatherings and the friendship I've formed
• 6:40:18
  through them. I wish John would have told me he
• 6:40:20
  was born in Fresno. I'm pretty sure I told him
• 6:40:22
  I went to Fresno State. That conversation can wait until
• 6:40:25
  I see him again in heaven. Rest in peace. God
• 6:40:27
  bless JCD, the Dvorak family, and the rest of the
• 6:40:29
  Gitmo Nation. All our love, Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II
• 6:40:33
  and Dame Dreamgirl Rose. Carl Otto Rosengivist. Rosenkvist? Rosenkvist. You
• 6:40:43
  said it. Hi. It took some seconds to parse the
• 6:40:47
  newsletter with the news about JCD's passing. As a quite
• 6:40:50
  grumpy person myself, I always found John a fellow groupger.
• 6:40:56
  He will be remembered not only for that, but for
• 6:40:58
  what he was, a diamond with a thousand facets, every
• 6:41:01
  one unique. No more feet in the air and subs
• 6:41:04
  in the water in the future, but at least 1,888
• 6:41:07
  episodes of wisdom. I started summer around episode 40 and
• 6:41:10
  50, so Noah Jed has been a vital part of
• 6:41:12
  my last 18 years. I've attached a reading of a
• 6:41:16
  donation I made six years ago after they removed a
• 6:41:19
  lump from my wife's stomach. I know what the fear
• 6:41:21
  of losing the one who means the most, and I'm
• 6:41:24
  happy that she's still around. Mimi, be strong. Let your
• 6:41:26
  family give you the energy you need to keep smiling.
• 6:41:28
  Kind regards, Carl Otto. Mike Riley. No, no. Circuity. Circuity
• 6:41:36
  in Colleyville, Texas. This was not an approved exit strategy.
• 6:41:42
  My deepest condolences to Mimi, the Dvorak family, and Adam.
• 6:41:46
  I've been listening since 2008, and to have John and
• 6:41:48
  Adam to listen to each week has gotten me through
• 6:41:50
  the goods and bad times, the ups and downs in
• 6:41:52
  my life, and when I just needed to hear the
• 6:41:54
  deconstruction of the mainstream news, hearing John's perspective, stories, recipes,
• 6:41:57
  and wine tips are always a highlight of the show
• 6:41:59
  for me and will be truly missed. Hopefully, NA, no
• 6:42:02
  gender, will continue in some form, dare I say, four
• 6:42:04
  more years. Adam, we support you in whatever comes next.
• 6:42:07
  Godspeed and rest in peace, JCD. Security, night of the
• 6:42:12
  cybers. Jingle requests, spooky donate. And I just want to
• 6:42:16
  thank Mike Riley, who came just before this. Mike Riley,
• 6:42:20
  super famous cartoonist who has done a lot of art
• 6:42:23
  for us. I think John even had some sent to
• 6:42:26
  him. It might even be on the wall somewhere. It
• 6:42:29
  might be. It might be. There's so many. So much
• 6:42:33
  stuff on there. Um... Texas, oh wait, no, Edward Bala.
• 6:42:39
  In Shulukork. Devastating news. Rest in peace, John, and thank
• 6:42:43
  you for your courage. I'll do two more, and then
• 6:42:45
  I'll hand it off. Yep. Texas Hot Glass LLC in
• 6:42:48
  Smithville, Texas. Good old railroad town. Andrew Wolfe. Dan Black
• 6:42:53
  Loca, Texas Hot Glass. Oh, it doesn't. I only see
• 6:42:57
  a Texas. No, I know. We know our peeps. It's
• 6:43:01
  good. Yeah, you do. You do. Andrew Wolfe, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
• 6:43:08
  All right, I'll take it from here. Thank you. Yeah,
• 6:43:11
  you can pronounce that one. Maybe. Marius Uf Nagel. These
• 6:43:16
  are all 8888. So hope this RIP finds you well.
• 6:43:19
  Condolences to all the family and friends of John. Some
• 6:43:21
  karma for John's travels in the ether from Marius Uwe
• 6:43:26
  Nagel. You've got karma. Thank you, Christine Kodega from Riverside,
• 6:43:33
  Rhode Island. Anthony W. DiPrato, Jackson, Missouri. Mississippi, Missouri, Missouri.
• 6:43:42
  Mississippi. Mississippi. Yeah, and the one before, I think it's
• 6:43:46
  probably Codega. Oh, picky, picky. Well, just saying. John was
• 6:43:53
  a voice of guidance, says Anthony. He likely never thought
• 6:43:57
  about his impact. I emulate his skepticism and the no
• 6:44:01
  agenda deconstruction information in my daily life. Michael Rankin, rest
• 6:44:06
  in peace to Alenja. My Thursdays and Sundays will never
• 6:44:08
  be the same. Condolences to the Dvorak clan. Nick Foster,
• 6:44:12
  JCD has left a lasting impact on the world. Thomas
• 6:44:15
  Caron from Egan, Minnesota. Dear Adam and Dvorak family, Sundays
• 6:44:19
  and Thursdays will never be the same. My thoughts and
• 6:44:21
  prayers are with you. JCD's voice on No Agenda was
• 6:44:25
  constantly speaking from my car stereo for years. His sweetened
• 6:44:29
  clips always brought me a chuckle. As he used to
• 6:44:32
  say, onward! Molly Swift, Marshall, Missouri. Long live JCD. John
• 6:44:38
  Frank, long-time listener, first-time caller. Thank you for all the
• 6:44:41
  years of entertaining stories and great advice. Some family karma
• 6:44:44
  at the end would be greatly appreciated if you have
• 6:44:47
  time. John Frank, Apollo Beach, Florida. The drinking town with
• 6:44:51
  a boating problem. Yes. You've got karma. Heather Johnson. And
• 6:44:59
  I think a de-douching is the right word. You've been
• 6:45:03
  de-douched. Heather Johnson, Lincoln, Nebraska. For John's passing, my husband
• 6:45:09
  Eric listens to every show. Rest in peace, John. We
• 6:45:11
  will keep his family and Adam in our prayers. Sir
• 6:45:14
  European Stephen. Farewell, John. Thank you for your courage and
• 6:45:17
  the memories. Kara Steele. ITM Adam. I was so devastated
• 6:45:21
  to hear that John has found his exit strategy. Over
• 6:45:24
  the years, you two have felt like family, and this
• 6:45:26
  loss feels personal. You have both shaped my worldview, and
• 6:45:29
  I am forever grateful to have found my community. Rest
• 6:45:32
  in peace, JCD. Jonas Malpas from Ucrania. in Belgium. A
• 6:45:38
  small donation to show that John will be missed all
• 6:45:40
  around the world. My sympathies to Mimi, the children, and
• 6:45:43
  to you, Adam. Dame Liberty Mom from Vista, California. JCD,
• 6:45:47
  all of Gitmo Nation is heartbroken from the loss of
• 6:45:51
  you, Adam, Tina, and Mimi, the Dvorak family, praying for
• 6:45:53
  your comfort and peace. Thank you for your courage. Dame
• 6:45:56
  Liberty Mom in Vista, California. Thank you, Emma Samick, for
• 6:45:59
  your donation. Scott Walker, thank you for everything, John. You
• 6:46:02
  will be missed by many. Michael Lockyer from Wayne, Pennsylvania
• 6:46:07
  says, Sir Ever of the what? Linwood, Michigan. Godspeed, John.
• 6:46:12
  Sir Ever of the what? Baroness Carol Ann from Pueblo,
• 6:46:14
  Colorado. Dear Adam and Mimi, I'm so sad for your
• 6:46:17
  losing, John. Deep love to you all, and may you
• 6:46:20
  feel and know the comfort of God through this season.
• 6:46:23
  I'm forever grateful for all John gave to me and
• 6:46:26
  all the producers through the years. Baroness Carol Ann of
• 6:46:29
  the Southern Colorado. Sir Brian with an I. 88, 88.
• 6:46:33
  Thank you, Sir Brian, with an I. What about Wen
• 6:46:35
  Miller? Oh, I'm sorry, Wen Miller. You said that just
• 6:46:38
  like John. That pissed me off so much. You're like,
• 6:46:41
  what about Wen Miller? Well, I missed Wen Miller, okay?
• 6:46:45
  Okay, well. It's amazing. What about Wen Miller? What would
• 6:46:50
  you like to tell me about Wen Miller? I got
• 6:46:54
  to tell you, it made me so mad. What about
• 6:46:56
  Wen Miller? Okay, okay. I like him so. What about,
• 6:47:01
  what about? with Gwen Miller. I just skipped it. I'm
• 6:47:04
  sorry. Okay. Just check it. Thank you for keeping that
• 6:47:08
  going. Sir Brian with an I. One thing that always
• 6:47:12
  made me happy is that John always responded to my
• 6:47:14
  emails with laughter. My favorite one was a couple months
• 6:47:17
  ago when you guys were talking about selling beer that
• 6:47:20
  tastes like your armpits. I don't remember this product. I
• 6:47:23
  immediately emailed John and told him that his flavor has
• 6:47:26
  to be called It's No Sweat Off My Balls. He
• 6:47:30
  got a good laugh, but I was sad that I
• 6:47:32
  didn't get to hear it and with that I say
• 6:47:33
  goodbye to you my friend on the other end godspeed
• 6:47:37
  sir brian with an eye Chris Kincaid, Tyler, Texas. John
• 6:47:41
  will be deeply missed. Praying for comfort and peace for
• 6:47:43
  the Dvoraks, for Adam, and for Noah, Jen, and the
• 6:47:45
  nation. It will be a different world without John twice
• 6:47:48
  a week. Rory Buska from Novi, Michigan. Devastated beyond belief
• 6:47:54
  at losing John. The No Agenda show has meant so
• 6:47:57
  much to me since I started listening in 2010. Thank
• 6:47:59
  you for so many years. Rest in peace, JCD, says
• 6:48:02
  Drew Vieneman. Holly Erlinson from Fredericksburg, Texas, right here from
• 6:48:07
  our church. So many things I appreciated about John, but
• 6:48:10
  I think I'm going to miss his laugh the most.
• 6:48:12
  I loved his laugh, made me smile. Prayers for Mimi
• 6:48:15
  and all who knew him personally from Holly. James Hummert,
• 6:48:19
  Denver, Colorado. We'll miss you, John. Thank you for everything.
• 6:48:22
  Sir Eximedia, Toronto, Ontario. Rest in peace, the best podcaster
• 6:48:27
  in the universe. Love you, JCD. You kicked ass at
• 6:48:30
  all times. Lots of strength to Mimi, the kids, and
• 6:48:33
  Adam. God bless you guys. Jobs, karma, please. Sir Eximedia
• 6:48:37
  of Toronto. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for
• 6:48:45
  jobs. You've got karma. Kat from Richmond, Texas. Rest in
• 6:48:49
  peace, JCD. Your sharp wisdom, humor, and unmatched media insight
• 6:48:53
  made no agenda with Adam and DH Unplugged with Andrew.
• 6:48:56
  Truly one of a kind. You, sir, and your uncanny
• 6:48:59
  stock picks with me deeply missed. JTC Cat. Brian Peel,
• 6:49:05
  Lewisburg, Tennessee. Rest in peace, John. Shouldn't still be a
• 6:49:08
  douchebag, but I have been. Well, you got a de-douching.
• 6:49:12
  You've been de-douched. Owe you this for all the years.
• 6:49:15
  Rest in peace, John. Definitely not crying. Sarcasm. PBR jingle
• 6:49:20
  for some old time's sake. Yes, at the end. Makes
• 6:49:22
  me think of JCD. Sir JB of the Chesapeake Bay,
• 6:49:25
  Clarksville, Maryland. My condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families
• 6:49:29
  as well as Noah Jenner Nation. We lost a great
• 6:49:31
  man this week and person who had a profound impact
• 6:49:34
  on how I view the world. I can't express my
• 6:49:37
  thanks enough to John and Adam for keeping me entertained
• 6:49:39
  and most importantly sane over the last 17 years. I
• 6:49:43
  heard Adam on the Howard Stern Show in 2010 and
• 6:49:46
  that led me to start listening and probably have missed
• 6:49:49
  under 10 episodes over the last 17 years. I never
• 6:49:52
  looked at the news the same again. As a fitting
• 6:49:55
  tribute, I was almost exactly $88 away from becoming a
• 6:49:58
  Viscount, and with his passing,
• 6:50:00
  It seems fitting to do 8888 to push me over
• 6:50:02
  the top. I plan on being at the round table
• 6:50:05
  and would like some peppery ants in honor of John.
• 6:50:08
  Yes. I'll send them. Yes. My birthday is August 8th,
• 6:50:12
  and I always enjoyed when Mimi and John's anniversary came
• 6:50:14
  around as I knew the show would talk about 8A.
• 6:50:18
  God bless the Dvoraks, Adam, and all the producers. Thank
• 6:50:21
  you for your courage. Viscount JB of the Chesapeake Bay
• 6:50:24
  and Northern Pennsylvania. Mike Robinson, Salem, Oregon. John likes short
• 6:50:29
  notes. He will be missed. ITM. He loved that. Commodore
• 6:50:32
  Tech Guy. Ty. Mike Beal, we will miss you, John.
• 6:50:55
  Mayumi Akiyama from Tottori in Japan. feel really, really sad,
• 6:51:05
  but I'm grateful that I found the show a few
• 6:51:07
  years ago. I want to go back and listen to
• 6:51:09
  all the past shows. Anthony Renna, Simpsonville, South Carolina. Thank
• 6:51:13
  you for your courage, JCD. Rest in peace. David Oliver.
• 6:51:16
  So sorry for the Dvorak family loss. JCD was truly
• 6:51:19
  a one of a kind. I will miss him after
• 6:51:21
  30 plus years of reading his material. Rest in peace.
• 6:51:25
  Sir Smash of the Lone Wolves in Meppel in the
• 6:51:27
  Netherlands. Stay strong, all. Rene Tabak, Sir Smash of the
• 6:51:31
  Lone Wolves, Meppel, the Netherlands. Micah Farrell. I found John
• 6:51:35
  on Twit, and after numerous mentions of the No Agenda
• 6:51:38
  show, I finally started listening. With only a brief hiatus,
• 6:51:41
  I could not stop listening. I came back for the
• 6:51:43
  news and stayed for the entertainment. John truly will be
• 6:51:46
  missed from Micah. William Kozu, Phoenix, Arizona. John and Adam
• 6:51:50
  have been part of my life for 10 years, even
• 6:51:52
  though I never had the opportunity to meet JC. I
• 6:51:55
  still feel like I knew him. I'm so sad to
• 6:51:57
  hear about his passing and will miss him dearly. Adam,
• 6:52:00
  my condolences to you and the Dvoraks. Sir Michael Wisconsin,
• 6:52:04
  Knight of the Pipe. Greetings Mimi and Adam. I'm deeply
• 6:52:07
  saddened to hear about John's passing. I hope you will
• 6:52:10
  find some peace and comfort during this difficult time. I
• 6:52:12
  will truly miss his antics and unique rants on the
• 6:52:15
  show. Sincerely, Sir Michael Wisconsin, Knight of the Pipe. He
• 6:52:18
  wants us some hot pockets. Sandy the Knight Who Says
• 6:52:21
  Nigh. Castle Garb. Knee? Knee? Oh, knee. Yes, I see
• 6:52:28
  the pronunciations. Who says knee? Castle Garb, British Columbia. During
• 6:52:32
  COVID, you and John may have saved my life. Okay.
• 6:52:36
  I could never thank you enough. With love, Sandy the
• 6:52:38
  Knight, who says knee. And please pay dogs in the
• 6:52:41
  stroller at the end of the show. Will do. Jason
• 6:52:43
  Reed, Houston, Texas. Shorter note version. Please de-douche me. You've
• 6:52:49
  been de-douched. John is now the man who put the
• 6:52:53
  C in see you in heaven. No jingles, but jobs,
• 6:52:56
  karma, please. Jason P. Reed from Houston, Texas. Jobs, jobs,
• 6:53:02
  jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma.
• 6:53:09
  Sir J-Mo, Black Baron, Lewiston, Idaho. Rest in peace, J-City,
• 6:53:13
  from Sir J-Mo. Dude named Muhammad gave us a lot
• 6:53:16
  of boots on the ground. My deepest condolences to the
• 6:53:18
  Dvorak family, to Adam, and to the Gitmo Nation community.
• 6:53:22
  John pulled me into this world from twit and from
• 6:53:24
  that moment on he never stopped challenging me. Over time
• 6:53:28
  I became a producer in every sense whether it was
• 6:53:30
  boots on the ground, artwork design or being knighted. I
• 6:53:33
  always cherished exchanging ideas with John and Adam and it
• 6:53:36
  meant a great deal to me when some of my
• 6:53:38
  thoughts resonated with John. The only exception was his endless
• 6:53:41
  wine tips which I kept playfully protesting as a Muslim.
• 6:53:45
  Rest in peace John the great buzzkill. Thank you for
• 6:53:48
  your courage dude named Mohammed. Jeff Coleman, Waterville, Minnesota. Wow.
• 6:54:22
  making either of those numbers up. Wow. John was already
• 6:54:25
  on our short list of names, but hearing of John's
• 6:54:28
  passing cemented it for me. See picture attached of John
• 6:54:31
  Coleman moments after birth is beautiful. I'm devastated that I
• 6:54:35
  won't hear John's voice going forward, but take a little
• 6:54:38
  solace at the show archives remain. May his memory be
• 6:54:41
  eternal. Jeff Coleman. Chet St. Clair, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. 8888 to
• 6:54:48
  help build the statue. Okay, sure thing. Edward Noom, no,
• 6:54:52
  no, but we thank you. Commodore Doder. I love our
• 6:54:55
  military guys. Commodore Doder of the South Gulf Fleet. Dvorak
• 6:55:00
  family and Adam, my son texted me the news while
• 6:55:02
  I was traveling back home from my wife and I's
• 6:55:04
  25th anniversary trip. At first, I didn't believe it. Then
• 6:55:07
  I saw the newsletter and was immediately convinced this wasn't
• 6:55:10
  a donation ploy by John. My wife hit me in
• 6:55:13
  the mouth several hundred episodes ago and I've not missed
• 6:55:16
  a single one. My oldest son and I often discuss
• 6:55:18
  the episodes whenever we had a chance to chat. We
• 6:55:21
  love the show. Given John's larger than life persona and
• 6:55:24
  his apparently infinite pool of knowledge of literally every subject,
• 6:55:30
  entertaining with stories and broadening our horizons. His perspective on
• 6:55:34
  life is something I will always remember fondly. Even in
• 6:55:37
  the most turbulent times and when most people become frantic
• 6:55:40
  and anxious, John will bring a calming energy to the
• 6:55:43
  conversation with wit, sarcasm, and a touch of grumpiness, and
• 6:55:47
  everything would seem okay. Though I never met him or
• 6:55:50
  had dinner at his house, I enjoyed email conversations with
• 6:55:53
  him on some topics. I'd given some boots-on-the-ground reports on
• 6:55:56
  him, and he was very interesting and insightful. He has
• 6:56:00
  certainly made a lasting impact on my life and I
• 6:56:03
  will miss hearing his voice each week. Dvorak family and
• 6:56:06
  Adam, please know we share in your sadness and offer
• 6:56:08
  our condolences and prayers for comfort during this difficult time.
• 6:56:12
  I pray God grants you strength and peace. John, you
• 6:56:15
  are a hero to many, including me. Thank you for
• 6:56:17
  all the wonderful wisdom, insightful analysis, and hilarious commentary over
• 6:56:22
  the years. You were a national treasure and we'll miss
• 6:56:25
  you very much. Sincere regards, Commander Doder of the South

  you, Tom. Stafford, Virginia. My most recent Substack post is

  about remembering John. I can say more than I should
• 6:57:09
  here. Starkweather.substack.com. I dearly miss him. And there's Dame Nancy

  of the Confused. Adam has been steadfast helping all of
• 6:57:17
  us through this. Please keep him in your prayers. ITM,
• 6:57:19
  Dame Nancy of the Confused. Thank you, Robert Schweitzer, for
• 6:57:22
  your 8888 from Fairfield, Ohio. Chris O'Brien, Boston, Massachusetts. I
• 6:57:28
  can't believe he's no longer with us all. I miss
• 6:57:30
  John greatly. I've been a listener since show 100 and
• 6:57:33
  been following John since his days on Silicon Spin. His
• 6:57:36
  contrarian and well-researched viewpoints always taught me a thing or
• 6:57:39
  two, and he never failed to make me laugh. You
• 6:57:42
  will always be remembered fondly. Rest in peace, John, from
• 6:57:45
  Chris O'Brien, Boston, Massachusetts. Wilhelm Martens from Harrow, Ontario. No
• 6:57:50
  jingles, no karma. Tyler Goetz. I discovered the show as
• 6:57:53
  a teenager and as much and as such have been
• 6:57:57
  listening to no agenda my entire adult life. In many
• 6:58:00
  ways, I feel like John raised me. Poor child. I
• 6:58:03
  am truly blessed to have experienced his perspective, humor, and
• 6:58:06
  wisdom. He will be sorely missed. And there is Sir
• 6:58:09
  Kevin McLaughlin, Archduke of Luna, Lover of America, and Boobs
• 6:58:12
  with an 8888. ITM, Sound Guy Steve made a melon

• 6:58:20
  I have to look that one up. Jacob from Doosan
• 6:58:25
  in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Podcasting has made John eternal. Anyone can
• 6:58:29
  listen to his shows and learn just how awesome he
• 6:58:32
  was. My heartfelt condolences go out to all. Mark Christie,

• 6:58:43
  Godcaster, this is Steve Webb, and Lady Leanne from Riverside,
• 6:58:46
  California. known him forever. To me, JCD was a lovable
• 6:58:51
  curmudgeon. He could be cantankerous, gruff, and crusty, but these
• 6:58:55
  were well-earned traits formed by years of dealing with the
• 6:58:58
  nonsense his finely honed sensibility so easily detected. He was
• 6:59:02
  sometimes frustrating to listen to, but impossible to stay mad
• 6:59:05
  at for long. I'd been a fan for 40 years,
• 6:59:08
  first discovering him with his PC Magazine column, which became
• 6:59:12
  the first thing I would read with each new issue.
• 6:59:15
  As so many have already said, John, I will miss
• 6:59:17
  you. Lovely Lady Leanne and I are praying for the
• 6:59:20
  Dvorak family, Adam and Tina, and everyone who knew John
• 6:59:23
  and loved him. Adam, we're specifically praying for wisdom as
• 6:59:26
  you decide on no agenda's next step. P.S. If I
• 6:59:30
  didn't know better, I would say John paid us a
• 6:59:32
  visit this past Monday night. For the first time in
• 6:59:34
  a very long time, our kitchen was inundated with ants.
• 6:59:40
  You bet. Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. No doubt
• 6:59:44
  the show is already too long by the time you
• 6:59:46
  get to reading this note, but after listening to six
• 6:59:49
  plus hours of show 1888, it dawned on me that
• 6:59:52
  a huge opportunity was missed. So here goes. Adios, mofos.
• 6:59:56
  Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. Thank you, Jacob Schultz.
• 7:00:00
  from Strasburg, Illinois for your 8888. Jason Shepard, I still
• 7:00:05
  can't believe it. I've only been listening for about six
• 7:00:07
  years, but JCD and No Agenda have had such a
• 7:00:10
  profound effect on my life. I don't even know what
• 7:00:13
  to say other than I'm sorry, and my heart goes
• 7:00:15
  out to everyone in Gitmo Nation. Brent Statton, Huntsville, Ontario.
• 7:00:21
  Mourn ye not o'er my departure, mourn ye not I
• 7:00:24
  go upon a journey, mourn ye not my journey is

  eternal. From Little Wapameo Island on Canoe Lake in Algonquin
• 7:00:31
  Park, thank you for sharing John with us. Nigel and
• 7:00:35
  Karen Ewan from Columbus, Ohio. I remember meeting John in
• 7:00:39
  the legendary Sacramento Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories
• 7:00:44
  about refineries and manner of things from the observation car
• 7:00:47
  on the California Zephyr. It's one of my most cherished
• 7:00:51
  memories. God bless from Oscars. Oh, wait. I skipped over.
• 7:00:55
  Hold on. Nigel and Karen Ewan. Sorry. We have listened
• 7:00:58
  to No Agenda for many years. We're on a six
• 7:01:00
  No Agenda baby. There you go. Is one of them
• 7:01:03
  named Adam finally? John was a king. We keep crying
• 7:01:06
  when we rinse grease down the drain or say for
• 7:01:09
  some unknown reason. Much love, Nigel and Karen Ewan. Now,
• 7:01:14
  Oscar Z. I remember meeting John on the legendary Sacramento
• 7:01:18
  Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories about refineries and
• 7:01:21
  manner of things from the observation car in the California
• 7:01:24

  Prayers for Noah to the nation. Connection is protection. Love
• 7:01:36

• 7:01:39
  Simon Xiong, X-I-O-N-G, J-C-D, it was a pleasure listening to
• 7:01:44
  you these last six years, and you will truly be
• 7:01:46
  missed. Your wisdom, knowledge, and candor has helped me understand
• 7:01:49
  the world a little better and made me a better
• 7:01:52
  person. For that, I thank you. Thank you, Arthur Silguero,
• 7:01:56
  for your $88.88 donation. Sir Brian Wright of Mobile Bay
• 7:02:01
  in Mobile, Alabama. He says, but it was a huge
• 7:02:35
  honor to finally earn my knighthood and hear my name
• 7:02:37
  in the list. I hit people in the mouth, but
• 7:02:39
  I should have hit more. I've been on the $12
• 7:02:41
  monthly plan for years, and I should have donated more.
• 7:02:44
  I intended to send notes along the way about episode
• 7:02:47
  topics mentioned, but I didn't. After losing a few close
• 7:02:50
  friends and family over the last couple of years, I've
• 7:02:52
  been more cognizant of late that our time together is
• 7:02:55
  limited. I continue to cherish all of the many hours
• 7:02:58
  I've spent listening to the best podcasts in the universe,
• 7:03:01
  and I've never skipped a donation segment. I raise a
• 7:03:04
  glass of Costco Bordeaux to John's enduring memory, along with
• 7:03:07
  everyone else in the No Agenda family. Being a southerner,
• 7:03:10
  we hug our friends. So I send out a virtual
• 7:03:13
  hug to you, Mimi, Adam, JCJ, Andrew, and all of
• 7:03:17
  No Agenda. There's Marty McFly. I'll do Marty. I've got
• 7:03:22
  Marty. Okay. He's from Koolgardie, Western Australia. You know what's
• 7:03:30
  true? Not Washington. Western Australia. There you go. Dear Mimi,
• 7:03:35
  Adam, and the rest of the KnowAgent family. January last
• 7:03:38
  year, I got hit in the mouth at my friend's
• 7:03:39
  wedding by one of his friends. I'd met this guy
• 7:03:42
  a couple of times before and was always fascinated by
• 7:03:44
  his analysis of geopolitical issues. So I decided to ask
• 7:03:49
  the guy where he got his news from, and he
• 7:03:51
  said sternly, well, there's one show and one show only.
• 7:03:54
  It's KnowAgenda. From that day on, I started listening to
• 7:03:57
  every show and no agenda became a part of my
• 7:04:00
  life. John's witty, sometimes cynical remarks would crack me up
• 7:04:04
  and I found myself unconsciously repeating his words out loud
• 7:04:07
  in public. Yeah, this is a scam. His stories from
• 7:04:12
  back in the day made me feel like I was
• 7:04:13
  listening to the grandfather I never had. For many, he
• 7:04:16
  was an anchor in the roaring sea of bull crap
• 7:04:19
  we have to set sail in every day. I know
• 7:04:22
  he was for me. impact he had on so many
• 7:04:27
  lives and I'm grateful for the way he touched my
• 7:04:29
  life. Together you guys have changed the media landscape and
• 7:04:32
  your work has paved the way for future podcasters and
• 7:04:35
  inspired me to start my own podcast on food. I
• 7:04:39
  hope by this time John is stirring up the Golden
• 7:04:41
  Gates with his wit while offering some of the finest
• 7:04:44
  wines American retailers have to offer. Thanks for everything JCD.
• 7:04:48
  You will be missed. Much love, Marty McFly. Sir Ben
• 7:04:54
  of the Apex, Tiddly Park, Illinois. Love and light to
• 7:04:58
  you, JCD. Will miss his wit and wisdom. Sir Ben
• 7:05:02
  of the Apex. Anonymous, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Anonymous first-time donor
• 7:05:07
  here. I discovered no agenda in the contrived dark winter
• 7:05:12
  of 2021 when it helped lift my spirits amidst the
• 7:05:16
  emerging mask dystopia. At first, I thought Adam and John
• 7:05:19
  were an odd pairing. I didn't understand why the voice
• 7:05:23
  of Generation X would choose this grouchy old tech reviewer
• 7:05:26
  of all people. Face of Generation X, okay? The face
• 7:05:29
  of Generation X. As his co-host. I think you're technically
• 7:05:38
  a boomer, actually. Shut up, Brennan. No, no, no. It
• 7:05:42
  took time for my valid. Stop it. It took time
• 7:05:46
  for my palate to discern the complex flavor notes of
• 7:05:49
  John's personality, his idiosyncrasies, stories, offbeat timing, and a diabolical
• 7:05:55
  love of trolling. I can't imagine with no agenda we'll
• 7:05:59
  be like without him. Rest in peace, JCD. You've been
• 7:06:04
  dedouched. Sir CB from Tokyo, Japan. In memory of JCD,
• 7:06:12
  I have followed him in all his endeavors since the
• 7:06:14
  1980s when he wrote a monthly article that was always
• 7:06:18
  published on the last page of PCMag. I never met
• 7:06:21
  him. He was a friend and an educator for me.
• 7:06:23
  He will be sadly missed. Sir CB in Tokyo. Nepal
• 7:06:28
  Plumber. Rexburg, Idaho. ITM, Adam, and Dvorak family, no words
• 7:06:33

  a legend. Please play the JCD mac and cheese jingle.
• 7:06:40
  We love you. God bless. Aaron from Auckland, New Zealand.
• 7:06:46
  To Adam and the Dvorak family, I hope God shows
• 7:06:48
  you the way forward from your loss. I'm going to
• 7:06:51
  miss the bickering between JCD and Adam and all the
• 7:06:53
  jokes in between the media deconstruction. Thank you so much.
• 7:06:57
  Aaron from Auckland. Sarah A. Martin from Lenark Highlands, Ontario.
• 7:07:03
  Rest in peace, JCD. Thank you for your courage. Love

  and prayers to Mimi, Adam, and the kids. Your dad
• 7:07:10
  will live on in my heart. Thank you. The Martinez

  in peace, John. Shocked by the news, my thoughts go
• 7:07:45
  out to all affected by John's passing. Please de-douche me.
• 7:07:48
  You've been de-douched. Please send me Jobs Karma from my
• 7:07:56
  small business studio in Heinzius here in Finland. Thank you

  inspirational character and a mentor of life. He'll be deeply
• 7:08:43
  missed. Rest in peace. Janschen Istra from Erath, Louisiana. I
• 7:08:49
  send a sincerest condolences to John's family and friends. I
• 7:08:52
  imagine he arrived in heaven, found Jesus, insisted he turn
• 7:08:56
  water into wine, and then proceeded to critique the vintage.
• 7:09:01
  Much love, Jansen. Yeah, I think that's about right. Pretty
• 7:09:05
  much. Jordan, yeah, it's probably Spritzy. Jordan R. Temple from

  you all and thank you for your courage so much.

  real states. John, it would have been a lot... They're
• 7:10:07
  not. They're provinces. They're provinces. God, you got me there.
• 7:10:11
  John, it would have been a lot cheaper if you
• 7:10:12
  just did this the first time. Still somehow hoping this
• 7:10:16

  pile of ants and then ground them to a powder

  like a fine grind black pepper. We were having dinner
