  We got to have common sense. Larry Blytner. Darren O'Neill.
• 0:06
  It's Sunday, August 9th, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation
• 0:09
  Media Assassination, episode 1893. This is no agenda. Yes, we're
• 0:15
  broadcasting live from just outside of Chiraq, right here in
• 0:18
  FEMA Region Number 5. In the morning, everybody, I'm Darren
• 0:21
  O'Neill. And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry
• 0:25
  Blydener keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming
• 0:28
  scimitar of truth. It's Darren and Larry! But was Billy
• 0:35
  Idol okay coming into that area? I mean, with all
• 0:37
  the commies? Billy was dynamite. What a show. It was
• 0:42
  just electric. I'm still amped up from it. I'm pretty
• 0:45
  dangerous, so watch yourself, really. It was insane. Steve Stevens
• 0:50
  was on fire. 10,000 people screaming Billy. And you know
• 0:54
  what? That dude will be 71 this November. And he
• 1:00
  moves like he's half that age and looks at, he
• 1:02
  took off his shirt and threw it into the crowd
• 1:04
  and he didn't look really bad. You know, like, wow.
• 1:08
  Yeah, I'm not trying that anytime soon. It was absolutely
• 1:12
  spectacular. I'm hoping maybe when Adam joins us later, maybe
• 1:15
  he's got a Billy Idol story. You know, he knew
• 1:17
  all those rock stars and stuff. We will be joined,
• 1:21
  yeah, by the Podfather. Dude, I gotta, okay, I wasn't,
• 1:24
  I was gonna wait, but you're gonna ask me for
• 1:26
  a Billy Idol story. You did. You nailed it. Nailed
• 1:30
  it, Larry. Man, you know that Billy Idol dated downtown
• 1:35
  Julie Brown. Really? Oh, yeah, and it was just creepy.
• 1:41
  Those two, they were so creepy together. How creepy? Can
• 1:48
  you give me, like, for instance? Just like, you know,
• 1:51
  just tonguing each other in the hallways. Get a room,
• 1:56
  man. Get a room. It was nasty. Well, she was
• 1:59
  kind of nasty. I'm sure she's very nice now, now
• 2:03
  that she's married to a big Hollywood producer. to work.
• 2:08
  In the morning to you boys. How you doing? In
• 2:10
  the morning there, Adam. Doing good. Great. I apologize I
• 2:15
  don't sound like myself because this was a rare occasion
• 2:19
  where we traveled and I didn't have to lug along
• 2:21
  the entire portable studio. I'm like, I'm not going to
• 2:23
  have time. I'm just going to bring along my little
• 2:26
  PodMobile plug-in device. You sound great, really. Yeah, thanks. You
• 2:33
  do. Really? Okay. Yeah. It's funny how whenever you're setting
• 2:38
  something up, and I just have a little tripod for
• 2:41
  the microphone, I don't have my boom arm. It's always,
• 2:46
  you know, whenever you're looking for something. to build the
• 2:50
  studio with in a hotel room it's always the trash
• 2:52
  can for some reason the trash can is always the
• 2:55
  perfect the perfect device you know so i got i
• 2:58
  got it on top of the the trash can exactly
• 3:01
  the right height so yeah i'm here in um in
• 3:03
  san francisco and uh we were here for uh john
• 3:09
  memorial yesterday and but first of all man there were
• 3:12
  memorials all over the world the the meetups that were
• 3:16
  taking place uh horowitz did a did a big thing
• 3:19
  in fort lauderdale and he was doing like john trivia
• 3:24
  and he had prizes and all kinds of stuff and
• 3:28
  uh uh we have what do we have darren like
• 3:31
  five or six meetup reports already ten ten already wow
• 3:37
  um which um which i know you guys will play
• 3:39
  later i'm i'm just i'm literally so tired that I
• 3:45
  wish I could be here for the whole show but
• 3:47
  I this was Yesterday, it just all came out. It
• 3:52
  was like just the weeks, but honestly months because of
• 3:57
  John's earlier medical stuff. And, you know, just... dragging the
• 4:02
  cart along, but with lots of help from everybody and
• 4:06
  just really not knowing. It was closure. It was big
• 4:09
  closure for me personally. But it was so, I mean,
• 4:14
  maybe I should just do it chronologically. We got in,
• 4:17
  we flew out Friday from Austin. So that by itself
• 4:21
  is just such a hassle, man. It's like an hour
• 4:24
  and 45 drive for us. And then, you know, Southwest
• 4:27
  was... plays and just all so anyway we get in
• 4:32
  we get into the hotel um and we come in
• 4:35
  we're in like 7 30 and uh dana brunetti uh
• 4:39
  who doesn't know him hollywood producer of the biggest movies
• 4:42
  in the world and his beautiful wife alex they said
• 4:44
  well we'll come to the hotel we'll grab some dinner
• 4:47
  so i mean we had great, great dinner with Brunetti.
• 4:52
  He and his wife, I've never met him in person.
• 4:55
  Just a lovely, lovely guy. So no agenda, so anti-Hollywood.
• 5:01
  He is one of us, man, I'll tell you that.
• 5:03
  He is one of us. And then the next day,
• 5:07
  everybody... was coming in we had uh sir mark and
• 5:11
  dame astrid flew in from tokyo which is just you
• 5:14
  know they are the the archduke and archduchess of japan
• 5:18
  and the japan sea and all the disputed islands and
• 5:22
  i mean these these people they've been listening since episode
• 5:25
  one wow they've been with the show And for people
• 5:30
  who don't know them, you should just look up Klein
• 5:33
  Dytham Architects in Tokyo. They have done some of the
• 5:38
  most amazing buildings in Tokyo. I think they've probably done
• 5:42
  like 25% of Tokyo's most beautiful buildings. Like the... the
• 5:49
  emperor's library you know they did the i think the
• 5:52
  the fender guitar building i think it's a fender guitar
• 5:55
  building yeah uh sony building they've just done such amazing
• 5:59
  projects and they're just lovely lovely people he's british she's
• 6:04
  um swiss But they've both been in Japan forever. Also
• 6:10
  flying in for this occasion was Voyage Zero, Mark, coming
• 6:13
  in from the Netherlands. Wow. He, I mean, just, it
• 6:16
  was... I haven't seen him in... 12 years, last time
• 6:22
  since I saw him in person. Sir Patrick Coble, of
• 6:25
  course. Sir Patrick Coble is everywhere, every single place. Anywhere
• 6:29
  there's something good, a meetup, Sir Patrick Coble is always
• 6:32
  there. So we hung out with them for a little
• 6:35
  bit, had kind of a lunch. I really couldn't eat
• 6:40
  much. I knew I was going to be speaking. They
• 6:44
  had me on the lineup for this gig. and So
• 6:51
  we all went to the chapel in Oakland. Beautiful, just,
• 6:55
  thing is like, I don't know, must be over 100
• 6:57
  years old. Probably about 70 people there. Um, and as
• 7:05
  you know so mimi said a few words uh eric
• 7:07
  the shoe with his wife Danelle from South Dakota. People
• 7:12
  know Eric DeChille. He used to do the back office
• 7:14
  before Jay came in to do that. And he was
• 7:19
  master of ceremonies. Then Marty Higgins, who wrote many of
• 7:24
  the jokes for... For John and throughout the years, he's
• 7:30
  been friends with Mimi, I think, first for, I don't
• 7:33
  know, 40 years. He did the eulogy. It was kind
• 7:37
  of cool because he came to me later and he
• 7:39
  says, you know, I have something. And most of these
• 7:41
  people were as old as wood. I mean, they're all
• 7:44
  like in their 70s and 80s. I'll just be honest
• 7:46
  about it. And Marty's like, you know, do you remember
• 7:51
  when John was doing the Confucius stuff? I'm like, yeah,
• 7:54
  I remember that. Do you remember that, Darren or Larry,
• 7:56
  when John would open the show and he would do
• 7:58
  a Confucius says? Well, I've got to find that. He
• 8:02
  was doing this for maybe a month. And they would
• 8:06
  be okay, you know. I think a Confucius says maybe
• 8:10
  is not the best thing for an opening. But anyway,
• 8:13
  so Marty comes up to me. He says, do you
• 8:16
  remember the Confucius says stuff? I say, yeah. wrote those
• 8:19
  uh-huh he said you got to understand the backstory john
• 8:23
  called me up one day and said i got a
• 8:26
  great idea for a book i got a great idea
• 8:28
  for a book it's a comedy book and it's just
• 8:30
  filled with confucius says and so and and marty says
• 8:34
  but i guess you didn't like it or something i
• 8:36
  never knew it was supposed to be a book john
• 8:38
  just was throwing this stuff at me i'm like okay
• 8:40
  he gives me a list of 250 confucius says that
• 8:46
  he wrote for that book and uh i mean it
• 8:49
  They are so, so, most of them I can't even
• 8:53
  read on the air. Right. I mean, when it starts
• 8:56
  with lesbian who curl hair, I mean, no, I'm just
• 8:59
  going to leave that one where it is. Did he
• 9:03
  do it with a Chinese accent? Just checking pictures. If
• 9:09
  John tried to do it with a Chinese accent, that
• 9:11
  may have been part of the problem now that I
• 9:12
  think about it. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah. And anyway,
• 9:19
  so Marty does the eulogy. Funny. I mean, he's a
• 9:23
  he used to be Marty in the morning. You know,
• 9:25
  he did radio morning radio back in the. late 70s.
• 9:30
  So these are all just really interesting people. Then Brandon
• 9:34
  Jay's husband spoke and he just had a lovely bit
• 9:37
  about, you know, how he asked John if he could
• 9:40
  marry Jay twice. And you can only imagine how hilarious
• 9:44
  that situation went both times. Then I... in my piece
• 9:51
  and then they had kind of an open mic which
• 9:55
  was appropriate because there were comedians and there were just
• 9:57
  wild and wacky people there
• 10:00
  – and I've always known this, but it was said
• 10:00
  So Void Zero was phenomenal. You know the sysadmin who's
• 10:04
  always quiet and doesn't say much and he just kind
• 10:06
  of sits there and makes everything run? Yeah. Man, Void
• 10:10
  Zero, we almost had to give him the hook. He
• 10:12
  wouldn't stop. He had written 10,000 words, but it was
• 10:18
  all so beautiful. And you could just tell how everyone
• 10:24
  had been affected by John. And then you got like
• 10:26
  the old PC. mag publishing days which mimi doesn't even
• 10:31
  know them that predated her and john's relationship there were
• 10:34
  stories about how john had ghost written the the first
• 10:38
  book by adam osborne i mean this is going back
• 10:42
  right um guys who were uh in the original uh
• 10:47
  you know deck day days of computing and everybody kind
• 10:51
  of had the same basic story about John where he'd
• 10:55
  call you up and go hey you know that was
• 10:57
  how John called you on the phone and never called
• 10:59
  me but you know the one time he did hey
• 11:02
  and and everybody had very similar stories some people were
• 11:06
  just like wow that these guys exist you know that
• 11:13
  they really that they're from these old computer days and
• 11:16
  they had stories about just like you know devices and
• 11:20
  peripherals that you'd recognize and how john was you know
• 11:24
  just always uh all on top of this and and
• 11:27
  a common Theme You know, people might often get the
• 11:36
  so perfectly about one of the speakers that John, it
• 11:40
  always sounded like he was just crapping on everything. You
• 11:43
  know, like the mouse and the iPad and the Apple
• 11:47
  Watch and all. this stuff and the point was made
• 11:51
  that john actually because of how he wrote about these
• 11:55
  things drove people to make better products true and i
• 12:00
  think that's true that you know just the way he
• 12:03
  would just just drive a wedge into anything that people
• 12:07
  were trying to make that was cool including myself by
• 12:11
  the way when i would be so proud of the
• 12:13
  howard stern interview i did and he said sucked it
• 12:15
  sucked he didn't mention the show didn't mention the show
• 12:18
  enough i don't think he even mentioned me you know
• 12:20
  just on it but and it made me better and
• 12:23
  that was a very very clear um message from everybody
• 12:28
  there was a Oh yeah, that's clear even with the
• 12:31
  art stuff. I mean, Dvorak was great. If he liked
• 12:35
  my stuff, it wasn't anywhere near as fun. Exactly. And
• 12:40
  I guess I knew that inherently, but it's not until
• 12:44
  people started saying it that he was so, you know,
• 12:47
  John could have. in a multi multi multi-millionaire because he
• 12:53
  had inside dirt on all products he could have gone
• 12:55
  to work for any company told him how to do
• 12:57
  it but that wasn't what he did he wrote about
• 13:01
  how these products sucked because he felt they could be
• 13:04
  better now he didn't necessarily always say it would be
• 13:07
  better if but That really was a big part of
• 13:12
  his role in the world. And I really came to
• 13:15
  appreciate that, hearing that yesterday. Oh, yeah. Not like computers
• 13:19
  became a thing. Yeah. It was all in vain, obviously.
• 13:24
  Think about the world that he actually molded with his
• 13:27
  words at the back of those PC magazines and elsewhere.
• 13:32
  It is quite amazing. It all kind of came together
• 13:36
  for me when Sir Patrick Coble and many of the
• 13:40
  NOAA gender producers and artists were in on this and
• 13:44
  they helped crowdfund it and helped find... the different knickknacks.
• 13:50
  I posted it on X. Sir Patrick Cole made two
• 13:53
  shadow boxes. You know, shadow boxes. I guess typically, like,
• 13:59
  you get one if you served in the armed forces
• 14:01
  or you had a child who was killed somewhere in
• 14:03
  the armed forces. You get, you know, this beautiful wooden
• 14:06
  box with glass in front and has the flag and
• 14:09
  their medals and their picture, et cetera. And, you know,
• 14:12
  Patrick's an ex-Marine. And these things, you've got to zoom
• 14:16
  in on this picture. these different artifacts of John and
• 14:22
  of me and of no agenda including a an HO
• 14:25
  scale model of the Zephyr that had one of the
• 14:28
  you know the a mouse in there, it had an
• 14:31
  MTV patch, it had a first gen iPod. You know,
• 14:35
  back in the day when John was taking digital pictures
• 14:38
  and always saying your camera, your camera, your phone's camera
• 14:41
  sucks. Why do you use that? Of course, he was
• 14:43
  trying to make that better and it did get better
• 14:45
  over time. You know, a little handheld digital camera. one
• 14:50
  of his Dvorak speaking, typing tutor software packages. I mean,
• 14:55
  just such a lovely, I mean, I couldn't hold it
• 15:00
  together, man, when he gave that to me. And he
• 15:02
  even had it custom made for a suitcase because it
• 15:05
  had to fit in the suitcase for us to take
• 15:08
  it back. I mean, that just, I mean, Noah Jenner
• 15:11
  Nation, man, just so beautiful. Nothing like it in the
• 15:15
  world. Nothing. There really is nothing like it in the
• 15:18
  world. Let me see if I got everybody in here.
• 15:22
  Well, so. What was I, there was something, another point
• 15:28
  I was gonna, oh yes. Victoria Racagne, I don't know
• 15:32
  if you know who she is. She's like the CBS,
• 15:35
  CBS LA entertainment reporter. And I actually had forgotten this,
• 15:43
  but the one time I went to John's house, the
• 15:45
  one time I was invited and not allowed to go
• 15:47
  see the studio was a Thanksgiving. And he'd invited Victoria
• 15:52
  as well. She's this really cute Asian L.A. reporter. And
• 15:59
  she's like an undercover Republican, Catholic, of course could never
• 16:02
  let on about that, doing her job. But John knew
• 16:04
  all about her. And she and several other people. I
• 16:10
  mean, would just stand up and say, you know, people
• 16:13
  don't understand how John helped me in my career. He
• 16:15
  would give me the same thing that he's doing to
• 16:17
  the PC industry. He would critique my work, tell me
• 16:20
  what to do, but he would also make connections. Like,
• 16:23
  I'll call this person now. They're waiting for you. He
• 16:25
  helped so many people further their careers that people don't
• 16:29
  even know about. So just, I mean, just unbelievably beautiful
• 16:35
  to hear all of that. We've had a slideshow. You
• 16:38
  know, there's the little urn, in there which i always
• 16:40
  find creepy you know john's in there has no way
• 16:43
  he fits in there um his kids were there of
• 16:47
  course and then we all walked down the street to
• 16:49
  kona barcona which is like a tiki bar um the
• 16:53
  lovely folks from violetta pizza who have a place right
• 16:57
  across the street they brought in pizza um you know
• 17:00
  everybody was just hanging out and just just having a
• 17:04
  very very very good time dame rita from sparks in
• 17:08
  the back showed up i mean just it was mind-blowing
• 17:13
  um how much love there was for john and i
• 17:17
  think it was really good that we all just got
• 17:20
  to have some closure at this point um and you
• 17:24
  know at a certain point tina looks at me and
• 17:26
  she says am i gonna have to carry you to
• 17:27
  the car i say yeah So we just had to
• 17:32
  go home and like, now I'm staying here today. There's
• 17:36
  a lot of paperwork I've got to help Mimi with
• 17:39
  because you can imagine not everything was all set up
• 17:41
  for this moment in time. So we have some bank
• 17:46
  stuff to do. She can't actually. There's bank accounts. Nice.
• 17:52
  That's worse than no password. No, we got the passwords
• 17:57
  we got. Because, you know, she had always said, John,
• 17:59
  well, what if? And John said, nah, you'll figure it
• 18:01
  out. Well, here we are. We're figuring it out. We
• 18:05
  are literally figuring it out. I mean, can you believe
• 18:07
  that? Yes. We're figuring it out. So it was just
• 18:12
  great. And I'm so looking forward to hearing the meetup
• 18:14
  reports from everybody from around Gitmo Nation. And without exception,
• 18:20
  everybody says, hey, I really like this combo of Darren
• 18:23
  and Larry coming in. There's something going on here. Like
• 18:29
  Sir Patrick Coble had a, I thought, an interesting idea
• 18:32
  that, you know, if people, we have so many boots
• 18:34
  on the ground. It's one of the secrets of No
• 18:36
  Agenda is we have somebody who's an expert in whatever
• 18:40
  the story of the day is. And it's so easy
• 18:43
  for everybody to just record something. Maybe if there's something
• 18:47
  going on, you can send it in. be a way
• 18:50
  to work that into the show. I think, Darren, you
• 18:52
  already got three or four different new openings for the
• 18:55
  show. Yes, and of course we can work on always
• 18:58
  more is good, more choices. Yeah. I see Mike Riley
• 19:01
  has just been reactivated. He's doing art now. I mean,
• 19:05
  come on, man. This is awesome. Thank you. agenda nation
• 19:10
  it's just so so beautiful to see all of this
• 19:13
  happening yeah when uh the third duke of the south
• 19:16
  came looking for artists for those shadow boxes i'm like
• 19:18
  well you don't want me but you want mike riley
• 19:20
  and roger roundy and a few others and uh right
• 19:25
  You know, they're not the AI junkies, man. They know
• 19:27
  how to... Mike Reilly's stuff is amazing. Yeah, thank you.
• 19:32
  Actually, I'm just remembering now that I hit the bat
• 19:34
  signal, but I didn't post it on X. So why
• 19:35
  don't you guys talk amongst yourselves, and I'll do what
• 19:37
  I was supposed to do here. You got to boost
• 19:39
  the toot. You got to let everybody know the show
• 19:42
  is live. If you're not listening on a podcasting 2.0
• 19:45
  app, you are missing out. Because that way you get
• 19:50
  your notification when the show goes live. You want to
• 19:55
  listen live. Yeah, absolutely. Have you guys been following Trump's
• 19:59
  hair?
• 20:00
  That seems to be the biggest news of the moment.
• 20:02
  What is going on with Trump's hair? It's all got
• 20:04
  bigger. What? He's gotten bigger? I didn't see any photos.
• 20:09
  I just saw something like it's blown out or something.
• 20:12
  I don't know if he's looking to go maybe try
• 20:15
  out for the WNBA. Who knows? I think he needs
• 20:19
  a stronger grade of hairspray because it seems like it's
• 20:23
  blowing out of place a lot more easily. So I
• 20:25
  think that might be part of it. Well, Larry, you
• 20:27
  say you always could see a toupee. Is this real?
• 20:29
  Yes, I can. That is my superpower. I don't know
• 20:30
  if Adam knows that yet, but I can spot a
• 20:32
  rug from across the floor. Is Trump's real? Yeah, his
• 20:37
  real. It's not quite as impressive as the vasectomy, but
• 20:40
  it's an important skill to have. That was really, really
• 20:46
  impressive. I got to say that. No kidding. Vasectomy spotting,
• 20:49
  like what? Did I recall the underpinning of that was
• 20:55
  the reduced T counts or something, and so they didn't
• 20:57
  quite comport themselves with as much masculinity as an unvasectomized
• 21:02
  guy would? What did he base that on? vasectomies were
• 21:07
  done Back in the day, I don't know, 1800s, I
• 21:12
  forget what century, were performed as a youth-making experience to
• 21:19
  make someone appear younger. So, you know, kind of like
• 21:22
  the Botox of the day. Right. It seems a little
• 21:25
  more painful, but that was the Botox of the day.
• 21:29
  make men want to look... Even then, back in those
• 21:32
  1700s, 1800s, you wanted to look a little feminine. That
• 21:35
  was kind of sexy of the day. Maybe that's been
• 21:38
  Billy Idol's secret. If Steve Stevens is still playing with
• 21:43
  Billy? Is he playing? You know what? Riddle me this.
• 21:47
  Why is that guy's name not up there with Hendrix
• 21:50
  and Clapton and Becks? He should absolutely be there. I
• 21:55
  interviewed him back in the late 80s. came into the
• 22:00
  studio, because I think it might have been Headbangers Ball,
• 22:03
  I don't remember. And this is, you remember these days,
• 22:06
  Larry, back in the day, like when even the VJs
• 22:09
  got gold and platinum records, and like, yeah, thanks for
• 22:12
  helping, son, here's something to hang on your wall. And
• 22:16
  he came in and he gave me his signature Steve
• 22:19
  Stevens hammer guitar. I still have it. I still have
• 22:23
  it. Signed by Steve Stevens, yeah. He was just a
• 22:27
  nice guy. That's so New York, right? His New York
• 22:32
  accent. Very much so. He literally walked down the street.
• 22:35
  Oh, he just walked down the street to the studio.
• 22:37
  Had a guitar case. Here, Adam, how you doing? These
• 22:39
  guys were all very, very New York. Very New York.
• 22:42
  Love that about him. And then there's a classic guitar
• 22:46
  story, Joe Satriani, who I think is also just virtuoso.
• 22:51
  The guy is so good. You can look it up
• 22:54
  on YouTube. There's two versions. There's a longer version. and
• 22:59
  he's going to give me guitar lessons. He's going to
• 23:02
  show me. Now, I'm not actually holding a guitar, but
• 23:05
  he has a guitar. He says, okay, Adam. And he
• 23:07
  says, now this is, he does some, he has a
• 23:10
  little bit of stuff back and forth, but that's not
• 23:12
  really what makes you a great guitar player. And here's
• 23:14
  something you can practice, Adam. You've got to make your
• 23:16
  faces. So he was teaching me the right face to
• 23:23
  make. Oh, when you hit this one, you go, you
• 23:26
  got to pull your lips back like that. And you
• 23:28
  got to close. That's what makes a great guitar player
• 23:33
  right there. That's great stuff. Yeah, you can have the
• 23:36
  sound. It's not in the gear. I mean, Ted Nugent
• 23:39
  told a story about Eddie Van Halen where when he
• 23:41
  met him, he's like, how do you get that sound?
• 23:43
  And Eddie handed him his guitar. He's like, I played
• 23:45
  it. I sound like Ted Nugent still. I don't know
• 23:47
  how he made those sounds. It wasn't trickery. It wasn't
• 23:52
  gear. It was just pure talent in the way he
• 23:54
  played. Talent and tone, man. That's what it is. Yes.
• 23:58
  And the tone comes in the hands. Yes, it does.
• 24:02
  Yeah. I felt bad for the rhythm guitarist on stage
• 24:06
  with Billy because the guy was very good, but nobody
• 24:09
  cared. He's getting paid to stand in the back and
• 24:12
  strum a few chords. I'm in show business. They were
• 24:17
  unbelievable, these chicks. Oh my God, they were so fantastic.
• 24:21
  It was really one of the best shows I've ever
• 24:23
  seen. Really great. Glad he's still around. I mean, that
• 24:28
  guy's had a few... Was this the Westbury Music Fair?
• 24:32
  No, this was at the Mohegan Sun Hotel Casino. And
• 24:38
  I had to laugh like hell because a couple of
• 24:40
  times during the show, the hotel was located in a
• 24:44
  little dinky town called Uncasville, Connecticut, right? And a couple
• 24:48
  of times he was doing songs and he would shoehorn
• 24:51
  in the words Uncasville, Connecticut. And so when we left,
• 24:56
  I turned to my wife, I said to her, saying
• 25:00
  I can spell Connecticut. That's what I heard. Yeah. Oh,
• 25:07
  no. He was basically doing it. Hello, Cleveland, and you
• 25:11
  misunderstood. Okay, got it. Yeah, nice. So Logan Five in
• 25:15
  the troll room is talking about the gold and platinum
• 25:17
  records. I just need to say something about that. In
• 25:20
  the early days, you actually could take the gold or
• 25:24
  platinum record out of the case and you could play
• 25:28
  it however you wanted. However, you had to play it
• 25:31
  backwards because it was a gold or platinum-plated version of,
• 25:35
  I guess they call it the mother. Right, so it
• 25:38
  was an inverse, right? Inverse, yeah. So you literally had
• 25:42
  to play it backwards, but they did play. They actually
• 25:46
  did play. Later, it was just... I mean, I still,
• 25:50
  mine still have, later I got the CD versions from
• 25:55
  Michael Jackson and Aerosmith, which is, those are some of
• 25:57
  my, I like those because I can always, you know,
• 26:00
  connect the story to it. But I have a lot
• 26:02
  of the old school platinum and gold records and they
• 26:05
  all have a little cassette stuck to the. the right-hand
• 26:10
  bottom corner, you know, because it also sold on cassette
• 26:13
  back in the day. And those, of course, over the
• 26:14
  years have, you know, come unglued and dropped, and they're
• 26:17
  kind of loose in the case. Memorabilia is fun. If
• 26:22
  you played them forward, would they reveal the masked satanic
• 26:25
  lyrics? I buried Paul. Yeah, I always just assumed those
• 26:30
  were, you know, made up, and they weren't actually the
• 26:34
  album. So it's good to know they actually took a
• 26:35
  copy of the album and made those awards. They did.
• 26:39
  For a while. for a while, but it got old
• 26:41
  and I didn't do that anymore. And then the whole
• 26:44
  industry changed and nobody buys music anymore. Well, you still
• 26:48
  do, right? You buy a lot of vinyl. Oh, well,
• 26:50
  the vinyl, yeah, now that's the... You know what's crazy?
• 26:52
  You know how Spotify... Spotify is in a very difficult
• 26:58
  position with podcasts because they are also, you know, owned
• 27:03
  by... I mean, it's a public company, but a lot
• 27:06
  of the insiders who owned shares early on were the...
• 27:10
  Publishing companies and the record companies who own the rights
• 27:13
  to all this music, which is why you know artists
• 27:15
  You know really don't get paid very well because they
• 27:18
  don't own their publishing, you know Sound Exchange came in
• 27:20
  and so there is some money But that whole the
• 27:23
  whole system is screwy because they just put it into
• 27:25
  a big pot and then they divide it up by
• 27:27
  plays so the whole thing is corrupt and no good,
• 27:31
  but We were never on Spotify with this show because
• 27:35
  they had an early contract that said – first of
• 27:39
  all, signing a contract with basically a podcast app. I'm
• 27:42
  like, no. That's not going to do that. And they
• 27:46
  put us on and they could play ads. in front
• 27:50
  of our podcast. No, I don't want that. So I
• 27:53
  went through all kinds of hoops to get us taken
• 27:55
  off and we finally got taken off. Then I guess
• 27:58
  it was like a year ago or something and we
• 28:00
  were talking about, no, I'll put us back on Spotify,
• 28:03
  which of course couldn't happen because somewhere in their database
• 28:07
  it said never import the feed because those guys are
• 28:12
  dicks so you don't want them. They got that undone.
• 28:16
  But then we've had episode after episode episode taken off.
• 28:22
  because of a violation of music copyrights. You cannot have
• 28:27
  any music... in your podcast on Spotify. And at first
• 28:33
  I thought it was, you know, just any music that
• 28:36
  was detecting something. I know that we have some songs
• 28:40
  that are technically completely legal because it's parody of an
• 28:44
  existing song, and it's within the context of the show,
• 28:46
  so we're not releasing it as a separate entity. But
• 28:52
  the other day I got two and I'm like, what
• 28:53
  is going on? What are they striking us off? You
• 28:56
  know, you can appeal it. Yeah, I'm going to click
• 28:58
  that link. No, whatever. You should use a real podcast
• 29:01
  app. What's happening is people who do end of show
• 29:05
  mixes. are also submitting their songs to spotify for people
• 29:12
  to enjoy them so now we're in the spotify music
• 29:14
  database they see that we're playing that on our show
• 29:18
  boom violation you're out no i see i would have
• 29:21
  thought it was sir chris wilson because he's done a
• 29:23
  few parodies that are you know again songs that everybody
• 29:26
  would know but putting his spin on it which that
• 29:29
  i kind of understand getting clipped before but yeah not
• 29:33
  not ai i had to i had to research and
• 29:36
  i'm like oh i see what's happening but you know
• 29:38
  again if spotify were were doing the right thing then
• 29:42
  you know and not just doing algorithmic detection you know
• 29:46
  we have it is completely within the fair use um
• 29:51
  uh clause of the copyright law to do a parody
• 29:54
  of an existing song within the con you know not
• 29:57
  releasing it ourselves but within the context of
• 30:01
  an educational program, which of course no agenda is, but
• 30:05
  we'll never get over that hurdle. So just get a
• 30:08
  modern podcast app, people. I was once sort of Spotify'd
• 30:11
  by John Dvorak, Adam. This went back. I'm serious. This
• 30:16
  went back. Yeah. At the very height of the COVID
• 30:19
  thing, I sent you a couple of end of show
• 30:23
  songs. And this one was kind of, it was, it
• 30:25
  was, it was, it was, of course, a parody of
• 30:27
  teacher children, no AI, all my own guitar tracks, vocals,
• 30:30
  whatever. And you dug it so much that somewhere, maybe
• 30:34
  40, 50 minutes into it, when you mentioned that show
• 30:36
  mixes, you said, and here's something that came in from,
• 30:38
  from that Larry guy. This is really cool. And you
• 30:41
  got maybe, maybe one and a half bars played. And
• 30:45
  John goes, that goes at the end of the show.
• 30:47
  And I thought, wait, he really is Buzzkill. Wow. Thank
• 30:50
  you, John. I got to dig that one up, Larry.
• 30:55
  I completely forgot about that. It's amazing how people come
• 30:59
  up to me and say, hey, remember that episode when?
• 31:01
  And I just go blank. I'm like, of course. I
• 31:04
  got to tell you, man, I really don't remember this
• 31:07
  at all. It was very funny. Oh, man. Oh, man.
• 31:13
  So anyway, I appreciate you guys holding down the fort.
• 31:16
  And I look forward to, you know, joining on Thursday.
• 31:20
  I'll be fresh, ready to do some media deconstruction with
• 31:24
  you. The closure for me in this weekend. has been
• 31:31
  that, of course, I want to be, I'm still producing
• 31:35
  for you guys, doing clips and bringing you information. And
• 31:38
  I always want to be a part of this show,
• 31:41
  certainly on Thursdays. But I do have a calling to
• 31:44
  do more with We Get to Do This with Pastor
• 31:46
  Jimmy. I'm just going to be honest. I'm 61. Things
• 31:51
  happened to me a couple of years ago, so I
• 31:53
  am going to continue to build that up as well.
• 31:56
  But I'm more convinced than ever that NOAA Gen of
• 31:59
  the Nation will get through this, will become healthier, will
• 32:02
  become, I believe, even stronger and bigger. And I like
• 32:08
  kind of the Troika thing that you guys have started
• 32:11
  to develop here. And we talked the other day, and
• 32:13
  I encourage you to look at some of the people
• 32:16
  in NOAA Gen of the Nation for maybe joining you
• 32:19
  on Sunday. something is changing here and I got I
• 32:23
  got it feels good to me it feels like good
• 32:25
  things are happening like the old morning zoos but actually
• 32:28
  funny Oh, God, thank you. Yeah, exactly. And without the
• 32:32
  bull crap. For a time there, every single morning zoo,
• 32:36
  which, by the way, morning radio guys, 90% are overweight.
• 32:41
  This is just a fact of life. Yes, that's very
• 32:42
  true. And it was the Nutri system. And they'd all
• 32:46
  lead into this. You know, it's like today the podcasts
• 32:48
  have. You know, if you're worried about the Muslims taking
• 32:52
  over Texas, you might want to buy some gold. I
• 32:54
  mean, this is every single podcast does this now. And
• 32:56
  those guys would all be like, well, you know, you
• 33:00
  know, Ross, I was stood on the scale this morning.
• 33:04
  And, oh, it's all water weight. Oh, yeah. But, you
• 33:07
  know, I've been on the Nutrisystem and it's been. for
• 33:10
  me. None of these guys ever got under 300 pounds,
• 33:13
  okay? It never, ever, ever worked. So without all that
• 33:16
  lameness, without the joke guy, you know, without the black
• 33:22
  guy who does sports, it was all so racist these
• 33:24
  morning zoos, without the hot sounding news lady who was
• 33:28
  never hot looking. Never hot. We need that. Was that
• 33:31
  Ross you mentioned? Ross Britton? Ross Britton, yeah, you know
• 33:35
  exactly who I'm talking about. I know Ross very well.
• 33:37
  And I used to write schtick for the Z when
• 33:40
  it first started with him. And I think it was
• 33:42
  partners. No kidding. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is going way
• 33:45
  back. And I won't tell you now, but Ross then
• 33:48
  duped me into a job at WNEW AM, from which
• 33:53
  I was eventually fired by proxy by Sinatra. Wow. I'll
• 33:59
  tell that story another time. It's absolutely true. I believe
• 34:02
  it. I believe it. Ross was a good guy, but
• 34:04
  the Zee mornings used to drive me nuts. Is he
• 34:07
  still alive? I think he is. I saw him on
• 34:11
  Facebook a couple years back, and he was doing morning
• 34:14
  drive on, I forget who it was. It was still
• 34:16
  in New York Station. Ross is a good guy. I
• 34:18
  liked him a lot. He's a good friend. Now, they
• 34:21
  had Mr. Leonard. Do you remember Mr. Leonard? Mr. Leonard.
• 34:25
  Mr. Lennigan. Of course I remember Mr. Lennigan. So this
• 34:27
  guy had a super gig. Leonard was again a guy
• 34:32
  who was at least 300 pounds and four foot ten
• 34:35
  and he it's Mr. Leonard and he had this voice
• 34:39
  and he it was funny I mean he had funny
• 34:41
  bits but he would call 15 stations a day and
• 34:46
  but he would call them from the station he was
• 34:48
  visiting but Mr. Leonard it sounded like Mr. Leonard lived
• 34:52
  in New York he drove a lime green pinto the
• 34:55
  guy lived in Philly I think and you know so
• 34:58
  he'd be for a week he'd be at and and
• 35:02
  when he wasn't doing his little stick he called these
• 35:04
  other 15 stations and the next week he'd be in
• 35:07
  San Diego or wherever I mean the guy had an
• 35:10
  unbelievable gig just you know being this one character on
• 35:14
  all these radio stations back when radio stations were local
• 35:18
  you know when you just had a local station you
• 35:20
  had your local guys now it's like elvis durant in
• 35:23
  the morning good morning san francisco good morning dallas good
• 35:27
  morning philadelphia you know become so homogenized and crappy that
• 35:33
  I'm glad that we have a podcast like ours. Absolutely.
• 35:36
  It's all Jack FM. Accent on the Jack. It is.
• 35:39
  It is. Straight up. Straight up. Straight up. This is
• 35:47
  the more you're going to find out about Larry. I
• 35:49
  mean, he's probably on the mob's hit list if he
• 35:51
  had Sinatra got him fired. So talking about Sinatra. So
• 35:55
  last night, we're taking an Uber back from Oakland. And
• 36:01
  we're sitting in the back. We're tired. And we're hearing
• 36:03
  all these songs. And Tina says, I miss George Michael.
• 36:07
  See, I miss him too. one of his ballad songs
• 36:12
  and then another song comes on and I'm like, oh
• 36:13
  this is um This is Linda Ronstadt with that black
• 36:16
  guy who had like the big mole above his eye
• 36:20
  people Bryson No, no Aaron Neville Aaron Neville and so
• 36:24
  we're trying to figure like who was that guy's name
• 36:26
  and the driver says Aaron Neville I said yeah, man,
• 36:28
  but you're looking up there at the display says no
• 36:31
  this is my playlist and he has a little bit
• 36:34
  of an accent and so older guy and and so
• 36:37
  of course we're talking to him and he's like well
• 36:39
  you know uh i i had a drink with sanford
• 36:44
  with the with the frank sinatra when i was running
• 36:48
  the uh like the stars restaurant and he you know
• 36:52
  pulls up his phone the sure enough sure enough there
• 36:55
  he is him and frank sinatra having a drink and
• 36:58
  tuxedos and You can just see this guy. He's got
• 37:03
  to be in his 70s, driving the Uber, telling everybody
• 37:06
  about the good old days with Frank. That's your future,
• 37:08
  Larry. There it is. Thank you. You're driving an Uber.
• 37:12
  You're a good driver. Driving an Uber, talking about your
• 37:14
  days with Frank. That you got fired by Frank. While
• 37:18
  podcasting live from the driver's seat. There you go. There
• 37:21
  you go. Yeah. Anyway, guys, I'm going to bow out.
• 37:26
  I'm about reaching the end of the energy I've got
• 37:29
  here. I thank everybody for all the emails, the direct
• 37:33
  messages, the text messages. You've been wonderful. Can't wait to
• 37:36
  see you guys on Thursday. And Darren and Larry, love
• 37:39
  you guys. We'll talk to you in the week. Take
• 37:41
  care of yourself. Look forward to it. And thanks for
• 37:44
  the report. Adios, mofos. And such. Adios. And such. I
• 37:51
  don't know how you follow that, but... We're going to
• 37:54
  try. We'll do just fine. What a pleasant interlude that
• 37:58
  was. Yeah, you got your Billy Idol story. Got my
• 38:01
  Billy Idol story. Yeah, it was, wow. Who knew that
• 38:04
  would lead to all that? What a glorious detour we
• 38:08
  took. And I've been on Adam since he mentioned that
• 38:10
  Steve Stevens guitar sitting in his studio. I'm like, you
• 38:13
  got to learn how to play. He does. And I
• 38:16
  was looking very close. I had like kissed the stage
• 38:19
  seats last night. It was amazing. And then, of course,
• 38:22
  they had the big video screens flanking. it but he's
• 38:25
  he's got a whole signature deal with a Canadian guitar
• 38:28
  company I think called Godin or Godin I don't know
• 38:30
  whatever G-O-D-I-N and and a couple of them are really
• 38:33
  oddballs you know they've got open headstocks and nylon strings
• 38:37
  on them and wow but everything everything that guy touches
• 38:40
  sounds great because he's great yeah I'm sure there's still
• 38:43
  money in that getting guitar companies to make a signature
• 38:46
  model I mean it's sad that less and less people
• 38:49
  are actually playing instruments but yeah yeah you really can't
• 38:53
  reproduce that one going out live which is why a
• 38:56
  lot of these guys are in their 50s 60s 70s
• 38:59
  or some even in their 80s i mean willie nelson
• 39:02
  out there in his 90s now playing it's like It's
• 39:05
  a dying breed, that's for sure. I'm hoping it comes
• 39:08
  back because you can't replace it with, and it's not
• 39:11
  just AI, but you can't replace it with the electronic
• 39:15
  music and all the synthesized stuff. I have a Willie
• 39:19
  story if you want that. I mean, why not? Before
• 39:21
  we get into real news deconstruction. I met him a
• 39:26
  long time ago when I was fronting a country band
• 39:30
  back in the good old days. And I think, yeah,
• 39:31
  Adam mentioned Westbury Music Fair, which was a very small
• 39:35
  venue. It was only a couple thousand people, and it
• 39:37
  was a stage that revolved in a circle. So there
• 39:40
  were no bad seats, none. And it was such a
• 39:42
  different world back then without psychos in every corner. Well,
• 39:46
  yeah. It was the Cadillac Cowboys and my partner. His
• 39:50
  name was Pontiac Pete. And he goes, hey, man, let's
• 39:53
  go try to find Willie. Okay. Well, of course. Why
• 39:56
  not? You know, why not? So we left the arena
• 39:59
  and walked.
• 40:00
  ...on the side, and there was Willie just standing by
• 40:03
  the tour bus, hanging out. He was all alone, walked
• 40:06
  right up, introduced himself. He looks at me and goes,
• 40:08
  oh, another redhead. That's what it was back then. But
• 40:14
  I saw Willie again many years later in L.A. in
• 40:17
  a little club 20 miles north of my house called,
• 40:21
  I forget what that was called. And Willie was much,
• 40:24
  obviously, we were all much older by then. And he
• 40:27
  did his show like he was under sniper fire. I
• 40:31
  mean, he didn't even wait for the applause between songs.
• 40:34
  So it must have been like a last minute thing.
• 40:35
  Because it wasn't announced. It was suddenly a last minute
• 40:37
  thing. I'm driving down the Ventura Freeway and I see,
• 40:40
  appearing tonight, Willie Nelson. I'm a Willie fan. I'd have
• 40:42
  known of that if there was advance notice. But there
• 40:44
  was. So somebody must have dropped out. Willie was in
• 40:46
  the neighborhood and they said, do you want a gig?
• 40:48
  That's probably how it went down. And he was probably
• 40:53
  pushing 80 by then, you know. And he's not Billy
• 40:56
  Idol. He didn't quite look that good. And so at
• 40:59
  the end of the show, it's swarmed by chicks who
• 41:02
  are, you know, 21 to 30, leaping up on stage,
• 41:06
  handing him Sharpies and pulling down their tops so he
• 41:10
  can autograph their boobs. Kevin McLaughlin, you hearing that, buddy?
• 41:15
  And I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, if this
• 41:18
  guy wasn't a massive music star and he even spoke
• 41:22
  to any of these girls at the check stand at
• 41:24
  the supermarket, they'd dial 911. You know, this is the
• 41:28
  power of music and stardom. Yeah, this is the problem.
• 41:32
  Learn how to play the guitar, kids. Exactly, exactly. Absolutely.
• 41:36
  And Willie, I've seen him in concert a few times.
• 41:39
  This is part of even Elvis later in his career
• 41:43
  a five minute song in a minute flat you know
• 41:45
  it's uh yes some artists are a little different live
• 41:49
  willie was good but uh you know i i get
• 41:52
  it when you got like 8 000 hits you gotta
• 41:55
  Hit as much as you can in a live show.
• 41:58
  You do. Now you're starting us with a depressing story
• 42:01
  out in Michigan? Somebody commented, I love how much Larry
• 42:09
  hates commies. I think one of the reviews that popped
• 42:13
  up on one of the podcasts. I take that as
• 42:16
  a great compliment. I hate them with no apologies either.
• 42:18
  None whatsoever. Yeah, this must be that El Sayed guy,
• 42:22
  right? Yes. Okay, so he's going to speak about how
• 42:26
  glorious he is and how he's going to fix everything,
• 42:29
  including Medicare. And did you know, Darren? Did you know?
• 42:33
  The problem with Medicare is racism. Isn't everything? Isn't that
• 42:38
  the problem now? Racism? I guess, but I didn't know
• 42:41
  it applied to Medicare, but now we're about to find
• 42:43
  out how true that is. One of the biggest challenges
• 42:46
  that we have when it comes to racial inequalities in
• 42:49
  health, which is the area of my expertise, is what
• 42:51
  I studied, what I wrote my dissertation on, is that
• 42:54
  we have a multi-class healthcare system. So even if you
• 42:59
  have coverage on Medicaid, Medicaid reimburses at nearly half the
• 43:02
  rate as private health insurance. So healthcare companies are like,
• 43:06
  I'm so sorry, but you're paying half the rate. So
• 43:08
  you get discriminated against at the point of care. And
• 43:11
  too often in urban communities, because of structural racism, because
• 43:16
  of the circumstances of segregation, you end up having situations
• 43:20
  where you may have health insurance through Medicaid, but you
• 43:23
  don't have health care because you can't get your Medicaid
• 43:27
  accepted where you need to get care. There you have
• 43:31
  that, right? Well, new wrinkle was uncovered. He has a
• 43:34
  wife who is a psychiatrist. Her name is Sarah Jakuku.
• 43:38
  Oh, you can't make that up. I'm sorry, I mispronounced.
• 43:42
  Jakaku. Oh, that's different. J-U-K-A-K-U. And she runs a private
• 43:47
  practice in Ann Arbor called Mind Work Psychiatry. And as
• 43:51
  I was reading this, I thought, I wish Darren had
• 43:53
  like a theremin clip to put in. You know, Mind
• 43:57
  Work Psychiatry. Anyway, here's the kicker, man. This guy's beefing
• 44:01
  about... Oh, I knew you could do it, man. If
• 44:04
  anybody... The Podfather provides all clips. Oh, that's great. So
• 44:11
  she opted out of Medicare in 2025. Oh, let me
• 44:14
  back up a second. Their income, their family income for
• 44:18
  last year was about $700,000, almost all of it hers.
• 44:22
  So she's doing real well with the mind work psychiatry.
• 44:25
  She opted out of Medicare in 2025, according to records
• 44:29
  reported by the Washington Free Beacon. So she can't bill
• 44:32
  the program, and she's not listed as an eligible provider.
• 44:36
  on any of the insurance plans that provide coverage for
• 44:38
  Medicare. So, you know, she's exactly the type of physician
• 44:44
  or shrink that her husband is deriding. So she's not
• 44:50
  taking Medicare or Medicaid patients. No, only for special people,
• 44:55
  you know. So then there's more. It says, MindWorks website
• 44:58
  notes that, quote, Dr. Jukaku is out of network for
• 45:02
  all insurance companies, meaning patients must pay out of pocket
• 45:05
  for her services. or unlikely to be able to afford.
• 45:13
  So, just for the hell of it, I went to
• 45:15
  the site and guess what I saw? It says... This
• 45:20
  site is currently private. If you're the owner or contributor,
• 45:23
  log in. You always know it's bad when the social
• 45:28
  media or the website disappears. Yeah. And I should probably
• 45:32
  throw it into somebody's lap and knows what they're doing
• 45:34
  like you. But I went to the Wayback Machine and
• 45:37
  several other clones of that saying maybe somebody's got some
• 45:40
  pages on what it looked like before they walled it
• 45:43
  off but couldn't find a damn thing. Well, that's it.
• 45:47
  That's it. Everything has been turned into... It's racist. Yes.
• 45:54
  It is. The medical system in this country is flawed.
• 45:58
  I don't think anybody is going to argue that it
• 46:02
  is the perfect system that anybody's ever come up with.
• 46:05
  No. I mean, I remember hearing guys like Rush Limbaugh
• 46:09
  talking about, well, I don't really have insurance. I just
• 46:11
  have enough money that if anything goes wrong, I can
• 46:15
  afford to pay for it. common denominator and yeah there
• 46:23
  are things that aren't perfect but I really have yet
• 46:27
  to see any evidence that anything is going to be
• 46:32
  approved based upon the color of somebody's skin and disapprove
• 46:36
  for the reason of the color of their skin. It's
• 46:39
  like it doesn't happen. I mean, again, people throw these
• 46:43
  kind of things out there. It's why the left loves
• 46:46
  throwing it out there because they know one. There are
• 46:49
  going to be some people that just believe it. Sure.
• 46:52
  And then it's also going to be in the world
• 46:55
  now, which is the AI brain. That's exactly right. It's
• 46:58
  going to pop up on ChatGPT. You know that, of
• 47:01
  course. Yeah, it has to eventually at some point or
• 47:05
  not. And as you pointed out last time, this is
• 47:08
  why they absolute flood everything with their crap, knowing if
• 47:12
  the seepage is going to be fast and thick into
• 47:16
  AI. the way it's going to be. There's no question
• 47:22
  about it. Now, does the next clip go with that
• 47:27
  one, or is that a different one? That would be,
• 47:30
  this is a different one. You're talking about the Jason
• 47:35
  Arday clip? Yeah, let's hop into that one that we
• 47:38
  can do. Okay. Let's call it three by three in
• 47:40
  honor of JCD. All right. Okay, this is an interesting
• 47:45
  story. Before I get to Jason, this is basically Great
• 47:50
  Britain's answer to George Santos. Remember the Santos guy? the
• 47:55
  compulsive liar that got elected as a Republican. Yes. Very
• 48:00
  bad glasses. Very bad glasses. And so the guy had
• 48:03
  this litany of lies that were mind-blowing. Like he claimed
• 48:06
  he graduated from Baruch College and got an MBA from
• 48:09
  New York University. Both said, never heard of him. He
• 48:12
  said he worked at Goldman Sachs and Citicorp. They said,
• 48:15
  never heard of him. He said he and his family
• 48:17
  owned 13 rental properties. Never happened. He said he was
• 48:20
  a volleyball star at Baruch. But of course, how could
• 48:23
  that happen? Nobody ever fact-checked, right? I guess they finally
• 48:27
  did. established an animal charity that brought in a lot
• 48:32
  of yen for our four-legged friends. But finally they caught
• 48:38
  up with him. And interestingly enough, when they said, "What
• 48:41
  the hell are you doing?" And his answer was, "Most
• 48:45
  people lie on their resumes." He's not wrong! He's not
• 48:49
  wrong. He's not wrong. So at the same time, this
• 48:53
  went on two or three years ago with... with this
• 48:56
  guy, come on, brain work, with Santos. So then this
• 49:04
  guy, Arday, just hit the papers, or the websites, you
• 49:09
  should say, and he obviously was thinking, hold my beer,
• 49:12
  what went on. So this clip is one of his
• 49:18
  academic sycophants introducing him. When I heard this woman speaking,
• 49:24
  I'm thinking, when she's gonna drop the name at the
• 49:27
  end of her rap, it's gotta be Jesus. I mean,
• 49:31
  really, listen to what she has to say. - I'm
• 49:33
  Rajni Naidoo. I'm vice president for community and inclusion, a
• 49:38
  UNESCO chair and co-director of the International Center for Higher
• 49:43
  Education at the University of Varna. So it's a great,
• 49:47
  great, great pleasure to welcome Professor Jason Arday. at the
• 49:56
  University of Glasgow. Previously he was a
• 50:00
  Associate Professor in Sociology at Durham University and the Deputy
• 50:05
  Executive Dean for People and Culture. He is a visiting
• 50:09
  and honorary professor at many, many universities, including Ohio State
• 50:15
  in the US, Durham in the UK, and Nelson Mandela
• 50:19
  University in South Africa. Jason also holds numerous trusteeships, including
• 50:27
  at the Runnymede Trust, which is the UK's leading race
• 50:31
  equality think tank. Jason is also a fellow of the
• 50:36
  RSA. Oh, my God. She keeps going on and on
• 50:39
  and on. It's beyond belief. Yeah. Yeah. Is that all
• 50:44
  she had to say? There's another 20 seconds. You know,
• 50:47
  we've heard enough. This is a hell of an introduction.
• 50:52
  and it's this spectacular scholar, blah, blah, blah, right? So
• 50:55
  anyway, so he just got busted. Well, I'm just thinking,
• 50:57
  Larry, we can change our intro to this show to
• 50:59
  be like an hour long, and then that's less work.
• 51:02
  I like that. That's a hell of an idea. We
• 51:04
  need long intros. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, Jason, he actually,
• 51:09
  like I said, he made Santos look like an amateur.
• 51:12
  Here's just a quick rundown of the lies he told.
• 51:15
  First, he said that he was a star of a
• 51:17
  famous British documentary called Seven Up. But the only problem
• 51:22
  is that he was born 21 years after the documentary
• 51:27
  was filmed. Then he claimed he was autistic and nonverbal
• 51:31
  until the age of 11. Other witnesses disproved that. You'll
• 51:35
  like this one. Marathons in just 35 days Wow, I
• 51:41
  guess and I think maybe he was thinking like that's
• 51:43
  a little tough to you know Other people are in
• 51:45
  those marathons, you know, there could be like a registry
• 51:47
  or something for them So then he followed up with
• 51:49
  I also ran 600 miles in six days on a
• 51:53
  treadmill because treadmills don't talk and they don't keep records
• 51:56
  Right says he read raised millions of pounds for various
• 51:59
  charities overcame a brain tumor while completing his PhD Then
• 52:03
  they found out that there were hundreds of passages in
• 52:06
  his dissertation that were plagiarized, right? So he didn't dispute
• 52:12
  being a plagiarist, but what he did see, he defended
• 52:16
  himself by saying that he had not received adequate supervision
• 52:21
  during his PhD given his autism and learning disabilities. Wow.
• 52:26
  Yeah. And it just goes on and on. But the
• 52:31
  funny thing is, just like Santos, when they kind of
• 52:34
  held his feet to the fire, he said, well, to
• 52:37
  be honest with you, I thought you'd just believe me.
• 52:41
  We've seen it happen. We've seen it happen. Here's the
• 52:44
  big ironic kick in the ass to Simon and Schuster,
• 52:52
  August 11th. It drops in the USA. You can't believe
• 52:55
  this title. you great and unfortunate things. You can't make
• 53:02
  this up. This is the new world we're living in.
• 53:05
  Misinformation is more prevalent. But this guy is like barely
• 53:10
  40. He's an internet child. He was raised in it.
• 53:14
  How can he be that stupid? You can't do anything
• 53:17
  today without it being documented by someone in some way
• 53:21
  somewhere. Unless you're planting the backstory. This was when people
• 53:25
  started pulling scams on the internet. They would create a
• 53:29
  website with fake bios and fake information. So when people
• 53:33
  went to look it up, they'd find them and be
• 53:35
  like, oh, it must be true. This has just been
• 53:38
  multiplied now by... I don't know, a million more? This
• 53:43
  guy, is he running for office like Santos? No, no,
• 53:46
  I think he's running for cover. He's just trying to
• 53:50
  sell books? I guess. Well, I mean, I guess if
• 53:53
  you're going to pad your resume, sometimes you need more
• 53:59
  than just a blurb from JCD on the book. You
• 54:01
  need a lot of blurbs that really come from nobody.
• 54:07
  Yeah. And now it's time for 3x3! Experiment by JCD.
• 54:15
  Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC! *The Neverend* Yeah,
• 54:22
  John C. Dvorak created it, but I think we can
• 54:25
  use it every now and then because it's a valuable
• 54:28
  way to look at what the media is saying about
• 54:31
  certain topics. In this case, Larry, it is the Trump
• 54:35
  ballroom. And we'll start with the Trump-friendly Fox News. the
• 54:52
  East Wing almost a year ago to build the new
• 54:55
  90,000 square foot ballroom, which includes an underground military bunker.
• 55:00
  The majority of the judges wrote, we are aware of
• 55:03
  no instance in American history in which a president unilaterally
• 55:07
  and using privately collected funds demolished substantial portions of the
• 55:11
  White House that Congress authorized to be built and American
• 55:14
  taxpayers paid for until now. The president says he will
• 55:18
  appeal to the Supreme Court, adding the military and Secret
• 55:21
  Service are viewing this horrendous politically motivated and unlawful ruling
• 55:25
  as a national security threat to our nation in that
• 55:28
  the entire complex is being built for the protection of
• 55:31
  our country. Now, Shannon, the ballroom is just one of
• 55:34
  several ways the president is trying to leave a lasting
• 55:36
  mark on the nation's capital. The 250-foot arches proposing between
• 55:40
  the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery has yet to
• 55:44
  take shape. But a recent National Park Service assessment points
• 55:47
  out the structure would change the views of dozens of
• 55:51
  historic sites. Like the ballroom, there's a lawsuit aimed at
• 55:54
  blocking the arch. President Trump is also having a new
• 55:58
  helipad built for Marine One to land on the South
• 56:00
  Lawn, and there are reports he's already changed his mind
• 56:03
  a few times on that, Shannon, after construction has already
• 56:07
  gotten underway. No, Donald Trump would never change his mind
• 56:10
  about anything, would he? Never, never. No, put it there.
• 56:13
  No, put it there. No, put it there. No, it
• 56:15
  would look better there. God. But they are pointing out
• 56:18
  one thing that's starting to come out with this story,
• 56:21
  which is there seems to be a much different take
• 56:25
  legally. based upon if what's being built is above ground
• 56:31
  or underground. The courts are seemingly pointing now like he
• 56:35
  can do whatever he wants underground because it's security, blah,
• 56:38
  blah, blah. Oh, okay. The above ground is where the
• 56:42
  real problem comes into. Some people don't want the ballroom.
• 56:46
  And the report here is correct. There is no other
• 56:50
  point in history where this kind of massive change was
• 56:55
  enacted by the president without having some congressional approval. But
• 57:00
  the difference is, and this is where the courts are
• 57:03
  going to come in, because I'm not a lawyer like
• 57:04
  Rob, the constitutional lawyer. I have no idea. If it
• 57:08
  was because Trump needed the funding from Congress to build
• 57:14
  it, and since he got the funding privately, he has
• 57:17
  the ability, or if he still needs somebody else's approval,
• 57:20
  even if he's got the money. But this, of course,
• 57:24
  same story. This is the very Trump unfriendly ABC. construction
• 57:39
  of that $400 million ballroom, saying only Congress has the
• 57:43
  authority to approve changes to the historic structure. Our Stephen
• 57:46
  Portnoy has been tracking this for us. And Stephen, I
• 57:49
  want to start with this. What is the essence of
• 57:51
  the judge's ruling here? What is the essence? Oh, yeah,
• 57:55
  that's kind of like, what do you make of it,
• 57:57
  isn't it? It's very similar, yeah. Wasn't the original price
• 58:00
  of that $200 million, Darren? Did they double that? It
• 58:03
  keeps going up, just like he keeps moving the helipad.
• 58:06
  I don't know how much money he's got. He's like,
• 58:08
  hey, people keep giving me money, so I'm going to
• 58:10
  build a bigger pool. I don't know. You know, basically,
• 58:14
  this two-to-one ruling from the D.C. Circuit Appeals Court is
• 58:17
  that the White House does not belong to the president,
• 58:20
  that he is not the owner of the executive mansion,
• 58:24
  a tenant. And in this two to one ruling, the
• 58:27
  Obama and Biden appointed judges who ruled against the president
• 58:31
  said that, quote, whether or not a massive ballroom should
• 58:35
  be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not
• 58:38
  a matter for executive self-help. And so the bottom line
• 58:42
  is the judges are saying that but for a security
• 58:46
  or safety related things, the injunction that was imposed earlier
• 58:50
  this year by a lower court has to go into
• 58:53
  effect. Now, the ruling itself is paused for two weeks,
• 58:56
  and that's to allow for the president, if he decides
• 58:58
  to do it, to appeal, which he said today he's
• 59:01
  going to do. Well, and Stephen, where does that leave
• 59:05
  this construction project? Well, it's important to point out a
• 59:09
  couple of things. One, as I mentioned, the appeals court
• 59:12
  itself put in place a two-week stay, a pause, to
• 59:16
  allow for the president to appeal, which he says on
• 59:19
  social media today, this unjust decision must be overturned by
• 59:23
  the Supreme Court in its entirety. The president says he's
• 59:26
  going to immediately appeal it to the Supreme Court. There's
• 59:29
  another step he could take if he wanted to, and
• 59:31
  that's called en banc review, which would have all the
• 59:33
  judges of the D.C. And bonk. I think it would
• 59:39
  just be and with a bonk, which is probably a
• 59:41
  B-O-N-K, really? I think. I mean, and bonk. If that's
• 59:44
  not a show title, I don't know what is. That's
• 59:46
  it. And bonk. And bonk. I guess all the judges
• 59:50
  get together, but you know, they're not going to be
• 59:52
  friendly towards him either. So it's very interesting to see
• 59:58
  how this stuff plays out. And Trump with.
• 1:00:00
  is social media stuff. I think a lot of people,
• 1:00:03
  even that back, the president would like him to, you
• 1:00:06
  know, tone things down a little. If you're going to
• 1:00:09
  the Supreme Court, you don't have to say like, hey,
• 1:00:12
  the obviously unjust. It's like, just say, I believe this
• 1:00:15
  was an unjust. Yeah. You know, the obviously, and then
• 1:00:19
  if they rule against you, then that's where people are
• 1:00:21
  like, ah, he doesn't even know what he's, he's got
• 1:00:23
  dementia. Of course. I have a solution for him though,
• 1:00:27
  Darren. To fix all of the problems? all of all
• 1:00:30
  of all those ballroom problems become a dictator to do
• 1:00:33
  is bring in the designers the guys the brains behind
• 1:00:36
  those very successful toys transformers you know those things right
• 1:00:40
  so you so make it a transformer ballroom you push
• 1:00:43
  a button and all of a sudden it turns into
• 1:00:45
  a heavily armed bunker now now what's your problem It's
• 1:00:49
  like they need more. I mean, especially at this point
• 1:00:53
  when you have state actors from Iran and others, I'm
• 1:00:57
  sure, that have hits out on the president. I mean,
• 1:00:59
  there's never been a more... dubious time for, I guess
• 1:01:05
  is the right, dangerous time for somebody in his position
• 1:01:09
  and I understand why they want a place where they
• 1:01:13
  can do things like A ballroom there makes sense, being
• 1:01:17
  the fact that, you know, Trump often goes in D.C.
• 1:01:20
  to things like the media dinner that he had him
• 1:01:24
  rescheduled because of the assassination attempt. Yeah, at that hotel.
• 1:01:28
  Absolutely, yeah. Because the security, obviously, was a little bit
• 1:01:32
  subpar. So, I mean, this would be nice to have
• 1:01:36
  that in-house. And this is all... I mean, I know
• 1:01:41
  this is a surprise to everybody listening right now that's
• 1:01:44
  a producer of No Agenda. This is just political. It
• 1:01:47
  really isn't anything else. Of course. Because... A ballroom is
• 1:01:52
  going to be there. If a Democrat wins, you'll be
• 1:01:55
  pissed. Oh, wow, we've got this nice ballroom to go
• 1:01:57
  and use. Yeah, but you know, commies don't like dancing.
• 1:02:00
  Well, Bernie did. I thought he went to Russia on
• 1:02:02
  his honeymoon so he could. But Bernie could dance? I
• 1:02:05
  want to see that. Probably 70, 80, 90 years ago,
• 1:02:08
  however, when did Bernie get married? Long time, long time.
• 1:02:12
  Long time. Appeal it to the Supreme Court. There's another
• 1:02:15
  step you could take if you wanted to, and that's
• 1:02:17
  called en banc review, which would have all the judges
• 1:02:19
  of the D.C. Circuit looking at it. The presidency is
• 1:02:22
  going to go right to the Supreme Court. And he
• 1:02:24
  also pointed to what his own appointee, Naomi Rao, said
• 1:02:28
  in her dissenting opinion today, which is that the National
• 1:02:31
  Trust for Historic Preservation, which brought this lawsuit, doesn't have
• 1:02:34
  standing to sue. That was an argument that the administration
• 1:02:37
  has been making throughout this litigation, but was rejected by
• 1:02:41
  the majority, which said that the Congress has to vote
• 1:02:45
  to authorize this project, which the president has not really
• 1:02:49
  directly asked lawmakers to do. Yeah, which is a very
• 1:02:52
  good point as well. I hate to agree with ABC,
• 1:02:55
  but there's been a lot of things under this second
• 1:02:59
  Trump term that the easy answer seems to have been
• 1:03:05
  go and get it passed in Congress. You control the
• 1:03:07
  House, you control the Senate. Right. Why not just go
• 1:03:11
  that route that nobody can complain? Well, and Stephen, I'm
• 1:03:16
  also curious, I mean, what does this mean for the
• 1:03:18
  president's bunker that was supposed to go under that ballroom?
• 1:03:22
  This really gets at the security and safety exception. And,
• 1:03:25
  you know, Judge Richard Leon of the district court who
• 1:03:27
  looked at this earlier this year said, the president is
• 1:03:29
  making an argument that this ballroom is necessary for national
• 1:03:33
  security. The president demolished the east wing of the White
• 1:03:37
  House that historically had a bunker underneath it that dated
• 1:03:40
  back to World War II, FDR's time. Well, now the
• 1:03:44
  argument is that bunker needs to be replaced. And so
• 1:03:47
  the judge earlier this year said, all right, we will
• 1:03:50
  allow you to continue building those parts of this project
• 1:03:54
  that are necessary to the security and safety of the
• 1:03:56
  president. The appeals court judges today affirmed that. One of
• 1:04:00
  the things that Naomi Rao, the dissenting judge, said in
• 1:04:02
  her opinion is the idea that now, the district court
• 1:04:05
  judge, Judge Richard Leon, is going to be required to
• 1:04:08
  review various parts of the plan and discern for himself
• 1:04:11
  what is or is not security related, which essentially would
• 1:04:14
  have the court micromanaging those decisions. That's what Naomi Rao
• 1:04:17
  believes, and the administration, I think, believes it's going to
• 1:04:20
  have a strong argument in that respect going to the
• 1:04:23
  Supreme Court on it. So it seems if you really
• 1:04:26
  finally go through all of these reports, and there's still
• 1:04:29
  one from CBS, you're going to understand that... The Trump
• 1:04:32
  people are just going to say, and they pointed out
• 1:04:35
  in the ABC report, the bunker is World War II
• 1:04:39
  or previous. I'm guessing it needed some upgrading. I would
• 1:04:44
  think. But for this reason also, it's a proven fact
• 1:04:48
  that several members of FDR's cabinet were Soviet spies. Who
• 1:04:54
  knows what kind of crap they packed into the floorboards
• 1:04:56
  there. True. I would hope they have swept for it
• 1:04:59
  since then. I would think. I would hope. You never
• 1:05:01
  know what was built in. Yeah. You know, that is
• 1:05:05
  part of the issue. I mean, everybody went nuts when
• 1:05:08
  Donald Trump wanted to bring that new jumbo jet Air
• 1:05:11
  Force One home. No, no, we got to look at
• 1:05:14
  it first. We got to sweep it. I wonder how,
• 1:05:17
  like, perfect those sweeping systems are. Do they ever miss
• 1:05:21
  stuff? They have to. They have to, right? Nothing's perfect.
• 1:05:25
  As technology gets better, as everything is wired for the
• 1:05:30
  internet, it becomes much easier because you used to look
• 1:05:36
  for radio waves. If somebody was bugging your office, well,
• 1:05:42
  that audio had to get out somehow unless there was
• 1:05:45
  just a recorder locally, and that's probably going to get
• 1:05:48
  found because recorders aren't, at that point anyway, were not
• 1:05:52
  super small. But now you know how small cameras and
• 1:05:57
  microphones are and connecting them into the internet. to go
• 1:06:03
  out of whatever building you're in, not that hard to
• 1:06:06
  do. No. Even I could do it. Yeah, why would
• 1:06:09
  people go into like Airbnbs now? You've got to sweep.
• 1:06:12
  You've got to look because... Oh, you know what? A
• 1:06:15
  couple of years ago, I was supposed to connect with
• 1:06:17
  some friends somewhere. I forget where the hell it was.
• 1:06:20
  And so for my first time, my wife always does
• 1:06:22
  the travel stuff, but I wasn't going to burden her
• 1:06:25
  with my stuff. And I started looking for Airbnbs. I
• 1:06:28
  was astonished at how many people in reviews said, Again,
• 1:06:33
  it was loaded with cameras. And not on the outside,
• 1:06:36
  on the inside. I thought, wow, really? That's awful. And
• 1:06:40
  in most jurisdictions, that's legal if they're not doing audio.
• 1:06:44
  They're just security cameras, Larry. Yeah, that's right. It's for
• 1:06:47
  your safety. They're all in the bathroom in the changing
• 1:06:50
  rooms. That's for no apparent reason. But here is CBS,
• 1:06:56
  which surprisingly enough, was fairly straightforward with the story. Yes,
• 1:07:04
  let's talk about the job site, the ballroom situation here
• 1:07:07
  behind us. The president says he will appeal this three-judge
• 1:07:10
  appeals court decision to the Supreme Court, arguing that there's
• 1:07:13
  a national security imperative now to finish it. But what
• 1:07:16
  he forgot to mention is that the court order today
• 1:07:19
  said that the national security work underground can in fact
• 1:07:22
  continue. It's everything from ground up that they're worried about,
• 1:07:26
  at least in the case of these three judges with
• 1:07:28
  the appeals court, because they say, as the district court
• 1:07:31
  had previously, to do this on his own Congress has
• 1:07:35
  full oversight of federal property and how money is spent
• 1:07:38
  on it this is in essence remember a national park
• 1:07:41
  and Congress oversees the National Park Service so president not
• 1:07:45
  happy about that reiterating that it is not just a
• 1:07:47
  90,000 square foot ballroom but there's going to be all
• 1:07:49
  these other national security military medical facilities underneath it needs
• 1:07:53
  to be finished and anyone who suggests otherwise is un-American
• 1:07:58
  So I don't know, is this the new regime under
• 1:08:00
  CBS? It's got to be the Ellison influence. Has to
• 1:08:03
  be. Did they actually get something that was just news?
• 1:08:06
  This is how news reports reminded me of growing up,
• 1:08:09
  where it was just the news. Right. Not how you
• 1:08:11
  should think. Not, oh no, Trump good or Trump bad.
• 1:08:15
  We heard a lot of Trump good in the Fox.
• 1:08:17
  We heard a lot of Trump bad in the ABC.
• 1:08:21
  This is why JCD invented it. And now it's time
• 1:08:24
  for 3x3! Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS,
• 1:08:32
  and NBC. The never-ending 3x3. Which really is the heart
• 1:08:37
  of the media deconstruction is to be like, hey, here's
• 1:08:40
  a story. Here's how it's being told three different ways.
• 1:08:45
  And why do you think that is? If you want
• 1:08:47
  to start thinking critically, kids. You're much better off. When
• 1:08:51
  did John first record that jingle? Well, he doesn't record
• 1:08:55
  the jingle, but this is... Well, somebody. This thing has
• 1:08:58
  been around for... As long as I can remember. Although
• 1:09:01
  it could be the Mandela effect. Yeah, because it's really,
• 1:09:05
  it should be the four by four. Well, of course.
• 1:09:08
  And that's why I was like, okay, there was a
• 1:09:11
  choice for me to do. CBS or CNN. And I'm
• 1:09:15
  like, well, this is the three main. And of course,
• 1:09:18
  there's PBS now. And then you've got the the cable
• 1:09:21
  news, which are on a different level just from the
• 1:09:24
  fact that. Cable news doesn't have to pay the United
• 1:09:29
  States to use the airwaves where ABC, CBS, NBC does.
• 1:09:34
  But I'm not saying you can't do a three by
• 1:09:36
  three with the others. Yeah, I mean, it still works.
• 1:09:39
  But I would think the four by four being the
• 1:09:41
  fourth would be Fox. No, that's the other, really, the
• 1:09:44
  network, I guess. Yeah, well, Fox News and Fox, the
• 1:09:48
  regular, are usually within... shooting distance of each other. So
• 1:09:53
  they're broadcast and you've got Fox, the network, which is
• 1:09:59
  over the broadcast
• 1:10:00
  And then you have Fox News, which is solely. over
• 1:10:04
  cable and then of course a lot of people don't
• 1:10:05
  know news nation is owned by the people that run
• 1:10:10
  the cw which is wgn and i mean that's split
• 1:10:13
  a bunch of ways as well but for regular news
• 1:10:17
  i mean there's at least interesting i mean you've got
• 1:10:20
  the cuomo guy there but you've got he's still doing
• 1:10:23
  it really is that right he's there leland vitter and
• 1:10:26
  uh they have a decent lineup which they're trying to
• 1:10:32
  bring people from both sides on, which is usually the
• 1:10:35
  most fun you can have in news, is having an
• 1:10:38
  actual argument between two different people with different opinions, which
• 1:10:42
  now you don't see. Nothing annoys me more than turning
• 1:10:46
  on something like CNN and having four people in the
• 1:10:53
  little, usually a host and then four people in the
• 1:10:55
  little boxes and they're all saying the same thing. It's
• 1:10:58
  like, couldn't you get one person that disagreed? I agree.
• 1:11:02
  It's not fun. Nobody wants to hear agreement all the
• 1:11:05
  time. No, it's not fun and it's not pleasant. That's
• 1:11:08
  why I rarely watch any of them, but I do
• 1:11:11
  enjoy the Fox thing because it seems like it's always
• 1:11:13
  hot-looking women with great legs and high heels sitting in
• 1:11:17
  chairs where they have to cross their legs. CNN is
• 1:11:21
  like, no, it's depressing, really. It's like some academic crap.
• 1:11:25
  Yeah, Fox figured out that one a long time ago.
• 1:11:27
  They did. Active women will bring the demographic that we
• 1:11:34
  want in. Yeah, and I think Brooke Baldwin is at
• 1:11:37
  the front of that class. And was it a book
• 1:11:39
  she came out with, an article? Recently I read something
• 1:11:43
  she had said about how much she loved sex and
• 1:11:46
  different kinds. And I thought, wow, you know. Welcome to
• 1:11:49
  Fox News. Exactly. Thank you, Brooke. Now you've got a
• 1:11:53
  clip here on Sunday at church? Yeah, I thought because
• 1:11:57
  it's a Sunday show, you know, and I kind of
• 1:12:00
  stumbled. on this one. And, you know, insanity crosses every
• 1:12:06
  boundary and every vocation, every profession, you know, and you
• 1:12:10
  never know where you'll encounter them. And what made me
• 1:12:15
  think of this is years ago, before my wife and
• 1:12:17
  I were married, we both had apartments in the west
• 1:12:19
  side of New York. And we went to this church,
• 1:12:21
  I forget the name of it. And goddamn, Darren, it
• 1:12:25
  was pre-smartphone days. I think we were still on pagers
• 1:12:30
  back then. Unfortunately, because we went to this mass, like
• 1:12:34
  a regular Sunday mass walk-in, you know, pretty good-sized crowd,
• 1:12:37
  and there were several hundred people, and this priest, who
• 1:12:40
  was, like, you know, very gay, started his sermon, and
• 1:12:44
  the sermon was, Jesus is my lover. Ha! And over
• 1:12:49
  the course of his homily, which probably ran, I don't
• 1:12:52
  know, seven or ten minutes or something like that, he
• 1:12:55
  never got graphic, but he described sort of the things
• 1:12:58
  he wanted to do with the King of Kings. This
• 1:13:00
  was a Catholic church in New York. This was a
• 1:13:03
  Roman Catholic church. And I remember thinking, oh, yeah, and
• 1:13:07
  I remember back in my apartment, I had a VHS
• 1:13:10
  camera. And I thought, could I possibly sprint back there
• 1:13:14
  fast enough to grab that cinder block, this because it
• 1:13:19
  was absolute. And I remember looking around with my wife
• 1:13:23
  and just my girlfriend. The jaws on people, their jaws
• 1:13:27
  were on their chest. I mean, it was like a
• 1:13:29
  comedy bit. It was beyond belief. So anyway. Was this
• 1:13:33
  guy not vetted? I mean, you came up with the
• 1:13:36
  term the corporate God providers. Corporate God providers, yeah. Vet
• 1:13:40
  this guy? I don't know. I never went back to
• 1:13:42
  that church. It was a really bizarre experience, you know.
• 1:13:45
  And then I stumbled on this. This is a guy
• 1:13:48
  from somewhere in Oklahoma. His name like Preacher Smidridge or
• 1:13:55
  something, I don't know. And listen to what this cat's
• 1:13:58
  doing. When he's smart speaking, know that, I just want
• 1:14:01
  to give you the visual setup. He starts at the
• 1:14:04
  podium, you know, up on the altar. And it's like,
• 1:14:07
  I think it's a Baptist or it's not a Catholic
• 1:14:09
  church. And he's obviously pretty ticked off at the start
• 1:14:14
  of it. And he very quickly steps down into the
• 1:14:17
  audience and gets right in people's faces, as he says.
• 1:14:20
  So it's not like, I want you to know, he's
• 1:14:21
  not like talking about people in ether. They're there. They're
• 1:14:25
  close. They're right there. They're close. Yeah. Don't go to
• 1:14:28
  sleep while I'm talking. Hey, hey, hey. Don't you lay
• 1:14:31
  your head back. I'm important. I'm somebody. Now you might
• 1:14:36
  do your English teacher that way, but I'm not teaching
• 1:14:38
  English. I'm teaching eternal life here. I love you. You
• 1:14:41
  know I love you. Have I convinced you I love
• 1:14:42
  you? Yeah. You better nod your head yes. All right.
• 1:14:46
  Come on. Put it out there. All right, you stay
• 1:14:48
  awake and you listen to me. You say, well, he
• 1:14:51
  may never come back. Well, he ain't here now. And
• 1:14:56
  where have you been, Mr. Underwood? And I noticed on
• 1:15:00
  the calendar I'm supposed to marry y'all. What makes you
• 1:15:02
  think I'd marry you? You're one of the sorriest church
• 1:15:05
  members I have. Wow. You're not worth 15 cents. Ha
• 1:15:09
  ha! And you want me to marry you to her?
• 1:15:14
  And you want to marry him? And he don't even
• 1:15:15
  know where he belongs? And you don't even know where
• 1:15:17
  you belong? Now, let me tell you all, everybody here,
• 1:15:20
  how much I love these kids. Do you know I
• 1:15:22
  love you, sir? Stand up, big boy. Big boy. Do
• 1:15:25
  you know I love you? All right. Yeah, he gives
• 1:15:29
  him a bear hug. Wow, this is a whole different
• 1:15:32
  kind of church. Isn't that crazy? You're not worth 15
• 1:15:34
  cents. Come here, let me show you how much I
• 1:15:36
  love you. I mean, at least I'll give this guy,
• 1:15:40
  he seems like he is... Worthy of at least holding
• 1:15:44
  your attention while speaking, because I've had enough, you know,
• 1:15:47
  in churches where everything is just so boring that you're
• 1:15:52
  trying not to fall asleep. Yes, yes. Sometimes that's just
• 1:15:58
  impossible. Sometimes nature takes over and there's absolutely nothing you
• 1:16:02
  can do. Exactly. So you just sit back and enjoy
• 1:16:05
  the ride. I got to tell you, he made the
• 1:16:07
  guy stand up so he could hug him. And I'm
• 1:16:09
  thinking, how's this going to end? I thought maybe there
• 1:16:11
  might be a right cross to his jaw or something.
• 1:16:13
  Well, I can see that, yeah. Of course you could.
• 1:16:17
  You're living in a slightly different world right now. As
• 1:16:22
  you said, people can snap at any given minute. You
• 1:16:24
  never know what you're going to deal with. That is
• 1:16:28
  the insanity of all of this. So I got to
• 1:16:34
  get to the Mike Rowe clip. I like this guy.
• 1:16:37
  He is good. He is good. This is, you know,
• 1:16:41
  he's kind of spells out, you know, in his opinion.
• 1:16:44
  It's a very valid opinion what he thinks is wrong
• 1:16:47
  with Gen Z and millennial people. But there's an answer.
• 1:16:52
  There's another side to his argument, which I'll give after
• 1:16:57
  the clip. The question doesn't start with what are they
• 1:16:59
  doing. It starts with what aren't they doing. They're not
• 1:17:03
  volunteering at their local church. They're not in the Kiwanis
• 1:17:07
  Club. They're not checking out the Rotarians or the Lions
• 1:17:10
  Club. They're not in the Boy Scouts or SkillsUSA. They're
• 1:17:13
  not contributing anything in their community. What are they doing?
• 1:17:18
  On average, they're spending between 2,000 and 2,100 hours a
• 1:17:23
  year on their screen. It is. We just haven't seen
• 1:17:29
  the like of it before. How are they able to
• 1:17:33
  survive? I can't paint with too broad a brush. Maybe
• 1:17:36
  some of them are trust fund kids. Maybe some of
• 1:17:38
  them have enough. A lot of it is money from
• 1:17:40
  other generations. Sure. They just hate our generation, except when
• 1:17:44
  we give them money. That's always okay. Yeah. It's always
• 1:17:47
  okay when you get daddy's money. Then the boomers aren't
• 1:17:50
  so bad. Right? Yeah. He's not wrong. a week, which
• 1:17:58
  is really, that's kind of a full-time job with no
• 1:18:02
  paycheck. Right? Yes. Yeah, it's beyond belief. So then there
• 1:18:08
  was this story that I tripped over that is kind
• 1:18:11
  of the other side of that. And maybe next time
• 1:18:15
  we'll ask Adam. Didn't Adam for a while, did he
• 1:18:18
  put his smartphone aside and he was using like a
• 1:18:20
  flip phone? Yeah, I think he still uses that as
• 1:18:24
  a main phone. And I saw an article in one
• 1:18:26
  of the tech publications. I don't remember if it was
• 1:18:30
  Wired or The Verge. One of those. There's like four
• 1:18:32
  different companies now. that are making dumbed down phones and
• 1:18:37
  the two or three were flipped. Yeah, well, there's what
• 1:18:40
  the story says. There's a woman, you know, they interviewed
• 1:18:43
  this woman named Kendall something, and she remembers the moment
• 1:18:46
  she swapped her smartphone for a flip phone. She said,
• 1:18:49
  quote, for me, the second that my iPhone was gone,
• 1:18:53
  it was just like heaven on earth. She's a 23-year-old
• 1:18:55
  Washington, D.C. resident. This is with CBS News. And it
• 1:18:59
  says she's among a growing number of young people. Okay,
• 1:19:02
  I don't like my smartphone. I was thinking of doing
• 1:19:04
  what Adam did. Young people are ditching their smartphones in
• 1:19:07
  favor of stripped-down dumb phones. in an effort to unplug
• 1:19:11
  from social media, etc., etc. Some feel nostalgic for an
• 1:19:15
  era they never knew before the advent of mobile devices.
• 1:19:18
  So then what Mike said is buttressed by the American
• 1:19:21
  Psychological Association, which showed that U.S. teens spending nearly five
• 1:19:25
  hours a day on social media. And yeah, you're right.
• 1:19:29
  This chick got her flip phone from Dumb.co. Have you
• 1:19:32
  heard of that one? No, but that's a great company
• 1:19:34
  name. Isn't that good? Dumb.co, a startup that sells devices
• 1:19:37
  loaded with practical tools like Uber Maps, and Spotify but
• 1:19:40
  no social media and this dump out dumb co says
• 1:19:44
  it's got more than 5,000 active users and it's now
• 1:19:48
  this is the you know this book this deserves fanfare
• 1:19:51
  it's typical customer is a 24 year old woman how
• 1:19:55
  about that They really want to be forced to be
• 1:19:58
  off social media because you
• 1:20:00
  Oh, you don't have to install the app. That's true.
• 1:20:03
  That's very true. But I guess it's easier when people,
• 1:20:06
  you know, because then you would have your friends pressuring
• 1:20:09
  you like, why aren't you on here? I don't know
• 1:20:10
  my phone. It doesn't work. Because you can't just, you
• 1:20:15
  can't take it off on your own. And these, some
• 1:20:19
  of these phones will allow you to have the messaging
• 1:20:22
  apps. So if you want to use something like Signal
• 1:20:25
  or Telegram, they'll allow that. But then they don't allow,
• 1:20:28
  although you could probably hack it. I mean, all these
• 1:20:30
  things are hackable. But they allegedly don't allow Facebook and
• 1:20:33
  Instagram and all of the social media. Because the social
• 1:20:38
  media... is where people start going down those rabbit holes
• 1:20:42
  that are not beneficial. No. I mean, again, I know.
• 1:20:47
  We're the old guys. We're the boomers. When we were
• 1:20:49
  kids, we used to hop on our bike and go
• 1:20:51
  to a friend's house without even calling first, knock on
• 1:20:55
  the door, be like, hey, is Jimmy home? That's right.
• 1:20:59
  And if not, you'd go further down the street and
• 1:21:01
  be like, hey, is Jack home? You know, I mean,
• 1:21:03
  this is looking for something to do. Or you went
• 1:21:06
  to the park or wherever people hung out. The fact
• 1:21:09
  that kids just sit at home in their air-conditioned house
• 1:21:13
  and play on their smartphone without talking to another human
• 1:21:16
  being while possibly being, you know, groomed by somebody in
• 1:21:20
  another country, it's... this is very strange. world. But with
• 1:21:27
  that said, I think it's very scary what's going on
• 1:21:32
  with what some of these states are doing. There's a
• 1:21:34
  new meta. thing that came out not a new thing
• 1:21:38
  a new judgment against meta oh how much money this
• 1:21:42
  time another 567 million dollars that's a that's a pretty
• 1:21:47
  big number i mean that's like a day yeah you're
• 1:21:53
  right what am i saying but in honor of jcd
• 1:21:55
  it's an ntd clip i'm like i've never pulled an
• 1:21:58
  ntd clip before i'd never even run across one so
• 1:22:00
  i figured once i saw this it was a sign
• 1:22:04
  New legal pressures mounting on Meta over the impact of
• 1:22:08
  social media on children. A New Mexico judge ordering the
• 1:22:11
  company to pay $567 million in overhaul safety features on
• 1:22:16
  Facebook and Instagram for young users in the state. The
• 1:22:20
  judge ruled Meta's platforms contributed to harms to children's mental
• 1:22:24
  health and failed to adequately protect minors from sexual exploitation.
• 1:22:29
  The order includes limits on teens' use of Facebook and
• 1:22:32
  Instagram, tighter controls on contact between adults and minors, and
• 1:22:36
  new safeguards for AI chatbots. The New Mexico ruling comes
• 1:22:40
  on top of the $375 million in civil penalties a
• 1:22:44
  jury ordered against Meta earlier this year, the case to
• 1:22:51
  $942 million, a small fraction of its annual profit, which
• 1:22:55
  was about $60 billion in 2025. Meta says it plans
• 1:22:59
  to appeal, maintaining it's confident in its record of protecting
• 1:23:03
  teens online and has been working on identifying and removing
• 1:23:06
  harmful content from its platforms. Now the case is being
• 1:23:10
  closely watched as states and school districts across the country
• 1:23:13
  pursue similar lawsuits against social media companies. Yes, one, somebody
• 1:23:18
  needs to nationalize. So the individual states can't, this is
• 1:23:22
  never going to bring anything good. And they're ignoring the
• 1:23:27
  fact that the internet is inherently dangerous. It's like a
• 1:23:31
  car. Yes, yes, yes. If you're going to put your
• 1:23:34
  child behind the wheel of a car, there's a chance
• 1:23:37
  they're going to get into an accident and get injured
• 1:23:40
  or worse. The only way to keep your child from
• 1:23:43
  getting into a car accident with them driving is to
• 1:23:46
  keep them from driving the car. until they are ready
• 1:23:50
  to do so. This concept that, you know, oh, we're
• 1:23:54
  going to have... Facebook or any of these social media
• 1:23:59
  companies being in charge of how many hours your kid
• 1:24:02
  sits on the internet? Wouldn't it be better if that
• 1:24:04
  was the parent doing that? Sure, but aren't they doing
• 1:24:07
  that already in China? Yes. And this is the rub
• 1:24:11
  that a lot of the people in the United States
• 1:24:16
  are missing. Which is, it's always, you know, it's for
• 1:24:20
  the safety. It's always for the children. But the end
• 1:24:24
  result is always... Oh, well, for this to work, every
• 1:24:29
  adult that's on the Internet, well, you're going to need
• 1:24:31
  an ID and you're going to have to sign on
• 1:24:33
  and we're going to have to know everything you do.
• 1:24:37
  But this is the clip from the attorney general in
• 1:24:41
  New Mexico, of course. And I'm sorry, I shouldn't say
• 1:24:45
  of course in this case, because there's some Republican attorney
• 1:24:47
  generals going after the exact same thing. So this shouldn't
• 1:24:51
  be politicized except to say that a lot of attorneys
• 1:24:55
  general are, Idiots. Oh, yeah. So I just wanted to
• 1:25:00
  give you a quick update on a major victory. Major
• 1:25:02
  victory! Major victory. Scored against social media and specifically in
• 1:25:07
  our case against Meta. Yesterday, a judge ordered that Meta
• 1:25:10
  pay $567 million for the public nuisance and the harm
• 1:25:14
  that they've caused to our kids. That's on top of
• 1:25:16
  the public nuisance. This is one of the ways they're
• 1:25:19
  going after him, that this is... Like you having an
• 1:25:23
  old Chevy that causes too much noise after 8 p.m.
• 1:25:27
  driving down there. It's a public nuisance, Larry. That's where
• 1:25:30
  these meta and... It's infuriating. The complete lack of understanding.
• 1:25:39
  And, you know, and again, oh, it's major, 567 million.
• 1:25:43
  It's like, well, what is Meta make in an hour?
• 1:25:46
  Yeah, 60 billion a year? That's not major to them.
• 1:25:49
  No, no, it's a rounding error if you're lucky. So,
• 1:25:54
  you know, put on your soothsayer's cap there, Darren. Where
• 1:25:57
  do you see this? Because you've been yelling about this
• 1:25:59
  for years, rightly so. Are they going to achieve their
• 1:26:04
  goal? Are we all going to be having to do
• 1:26:06
  selfies and sit there with our driver's license or whatever
• 1:26:09
  the hell it is so we can get online? Or
• 1:26:11
  what do you think? How's this going to go? Yeah,
• 1:26:13
  if they get what they want, it is going to
• 1:26:15
  be China, which is for you to log onto the
• 1:26:17
  internet, you are going to have to prove who you
• 1:26:21
  are with an ID. You're probably going to have to
• 1:26:23
  use your smartphone to take a photo of your driver's
• 1:26:28
  license. And here in the U.S., on the back, you've
• 1:26:30
  got the barcode. a picture of that to prove that
• 1:26:34
  you are who you say you are while you're logged
• 1:26:38
  in, which then again, now if you end up being
• 1:26:40
  one of those parents that's like, I don't care if
• 1:26:43
  my kid uses 8,000 hours, I'll just log them in
• 1:26:46
  as me. It's never a penalty for the parents. It's
• 1:26:49
  always going after money from the social media. So this
• 1:26:53
  is not about protecting your children. This is only about
• 1:26:57
  taking more money from the social media. Here in Illinois,
• 1:27:01
  the corrupt politicians, J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson of
• 1:27:05
  Chicago, they put laws into place that said, well, for
• 1:27:09
  every person using your social media over 100,000, the city
• 1:27:15
  owes you a 50 cent or the state, you know,
• 1:27:18
  you owe us a 50 cent tax. So the state
• 1:27:21
  of Illinois is like, well, you know, if we got
• 1:27:23
  20 million people on X, well, then you owe us
• 1:27:27
  10 million a month in a tax for us to
• 1:27:31
  allow your social media to be, it's always about the
• 1:27:35
  money. This is just a different way of going at
• 1:27:38
  the money because they're going to make rules. and regulations
• 1:27:43
  that parents should be in charge of. that the penalty
• 1:27:47
  is only the social media companies pay more. But this
• 1:27:51
  guy goes on here. That's on top of the $375
• 1:27:56
  million judgment we got earlier in the year. That's almost
• 1:27:58
  a billion dollars just for the state of New Mexico.
• 1:28:00
  To put that in context, if the rest of the
• 1:28:02
  country got the kind of judgment that we got yesterday,
• 1:28:05
  it'd be $150 billion to Meta. Can you just hear?
• 1:28:09
  It's like a wet dream to this guy. If only
• 1:28:11
  every other state. that it's the it's the Massachusetts of
• 1:28:18
  the Southwest and it wasn't always that way it used
• 1:28:21
  to be a banging state it still has the most
• 1:28:23
  beautiful you know sunsets geography mountains it's it's absolutely gorgeous
• 1:28:29
  but it's been overrun by commie creeps and it's it's
• 1:28:31
  become kind of a depressing place outside of you know
• 1:28:34
  the natural topography it's it's sad yeah the sit there
• 1:28:38
  and be like oh social media is too popular let's
• 1:28:40
  see if we can monetize it yeah of course where
• 1:28:43
  the real answer is keep the children off of devices
• 1:28:46
  until they're of age, whatever that is. More importantly, however,
• 1:28:57
  now they are ordered to change how they do business
• 1:28:59
  in our state. This is a fight that's worth having.
• 1:29:02
  This is something that I am passionate about, and we're
• 1:29:04
  not done yet. We have a lot more left to
• 1:29:07
  do, specifically updating our laws, our consumer protection laws and
• 1:29:11
  our social media laws here in New Mexico to make
• 1:29:13
  it absolutely clear that you can't endanger our kids, you
• 1:29:17
  can't allow exploitation, and you've got to do a whole
• 1:29:20
  lot more to protect families and people, especially the most
• 1:29:24
  vulnerable members of our community. This is an important victory
• 1:29:27
  for us, first in the nation, first in the world.
• 1:29:30
  We got a lot more left to do, so stay
• 1:29:32
  tuned. Yeah, the amount of "rah-rah" is kind of disturbing.
• 1:29:36
  Oh, God. And that phrase, "more work to do," that's
• 1:29:39
  always a commie phrase. Have you noticed that? "In the
• 1:29:41
  most vulnerable." It's always, oh, it's always, it's the people
• 1:29:45
  that are having the biggest, you know, because, you know,
• 1:29:47
  rich white kids, they're not having their children exploited on
• 1:29:51
  the internet. No, it's always the most vulnerable. Yeah, oh
• 1:29:55
  yeah. Yeah, yeah. I don't buy it. Don't buy it
• 1:29:58
  for a minute.
• 1:30:00
  And parenting just has to be parenting. And these devices,
• 1:30:05
  I mean the concept is insane because anybody with logic
• 1:30:09
  can sit in a room. Even people that are not
• 1:30:11
  dudes named Ben. People who don't have any concept of
• 1:30:15
  how any of these systems work, you would understand. that
• 1:30:19
  well if a bunch of people are communicating online you're
• 1:30:23
  not going to be able to separate them into different
• 1:30:27
  categories because if you're like well no only people that
• 1:30:29
  are uh that are signed up as children under the
• 1:30:32
  age of 16 can talk in this group because yeah
• 1:30:35
  no adult is going to figure out how to sign
• 1:30:37
  up as no especially when kids in the united states
• 1:30:41
  you don't have an id until you're getting your driver's
• 1:30:44
  license maybe i guess you have a social security card
• 1:30:47
  but well not in california if you want to get
• 1:30:50
  medical attention you have an id at 12 and your
• 1:30:52
  parents can't look at it Multiple boots on the ground
• 1:30:57
  from your clip, which I was like this can't even
• 1:30:59
  be real in California It's real it is more than
• 1:31:03
  real it's happening in Illinois as well because California and
• 1:31:07
  Illinois are kind of like Mirrors when it comes to
• 1:31:10
  the law. Oh, yeah and parents saying I cannot get
• 1:31:14
  my child's medical records Without their approval at 12 years
• 1:31:20
  old and you walk into the doctor's office And they
• 1:31:24
  don't go, well, do you want your parent to be
• 1:31:27
  here with you? It's like, no, the doctor, you don't
• 1:31:29
  get that choice. Like, sorry, but this is the world
• 1:31:33
  we live in. Well, this is the commie world that
• 1:31:36
  we live in. This is commie canon. And it goes
• 1:31:38
  back a long, I mean, it goes back a long,
• 1:31:40
  long way. And if you think about it, Hillary wrote
• 1:31:46
  a very successful book called It Takes a Village, right?
• 1:31:50
  And that's exactly what it is. The village is going
• 1:31:54
  to raise your kid. You really will try calling the
• 1:31:56
  village when your kid's projectile vomiting at 3 a.m. They
• 1:32:00
  don't pick up. No, you know, it's complete crap. It's
• 1:32:03
  the state ruling everything. And Gavin, you know, Gavin Newsom
• 1:32:07
  and all those dirtbags in California, man, they need to
• 1:32:10
  be put in a rocket and then fired into the
• 1:32:12
  sun, really, because they're just raw, evil, evil people, really.
• 1:32:18
  But I mean, I know we go back to it
• 1:32:20
  a lot, but this is literally what these social list
• 1:32:23
  in communist regimes did. They go after the children. Oh,
• 1:32:27
  They indoctrinate the children and this is because then your
• 1:32:30
  children start coming home like, "Oh yes, mom and dad,
• 1:32:34
  you're problematic. "You're way of thinking." So I told, I
• 1:32:37
  told Governor Newsom what you were thinking of doing. Homeschooling
• 1:32:42
  me, ha ha, they're taking me away. They're gonna put
• 1:32:45
  me in a nice camp somewhere. This is why you
• 1:32:49
  need people to stand up and make their voices heard.
• 1:32:54
  One guy that did that, our buddy Scott Lobito. Anybody
• 1:32:57
  that's been listening to Planet Rage has heard Scott's voice
• 1:33:00
  more than once, and I know. I wish we had
• 1:33:04
  Bing It IO like we do for this show for
• 1:33:07
  Planet Rage because you could do a search for anything
• 1:33:10
  that Adam and John have talked about over the years.
• 1:33:13
  But I know you and I on a few occasions
• 1:33:17
  while watching one of Scott's videos said, this guy's close
• 1:33:21
  to a heart attack, man. We did that several times.
• 1:33:24
  You are correct. And then he had one because, I
• 1:33:27
  mean, when we were doing Planet Rage, which was kind
• 1:33:30
  of like No Agenda with more swearing, and playing up
• 1:33:34
  the anger bit. I mean, we're still mad about this
• 1:33:36
  stuff, but it's playing it up for the entertainment value.
• 1:33:42
  I mean, overall, I think when you and I stop
• 1:33:45
  doing the show, when the end of that period of
• 1:33:48
  the day, we go off and have fun. Always. We
• 1:33:52
  listen to music and we enjoy what we're doing. Scott,
• 1:33:55
  I think, has been pissed off for a long time.
• 1:33:57
  You know, I had kind of an epiphany just before
• 1:34:02
  I sent you this clip. about Scott. And he, I
• 1:34:07
  mean, he's... The interesting thing about him, he's definitely a
• 1:34:11
  right winger. His head's in the right place. I love
• 1:34:14
  his salty language. He reminds me more of Sinatra speaking-wise
• 1:34:19
  than anybody I've ever heard. Yes, yes, absolutely. And Scott,
• 1:34:25
  unlike most right wingers, certainly myself included, I think I'm
• 1:34:29
  kind of typical because for the most part, actually, I
• 1:34:32
  never voted until I had kids. That's the only time
• 1:34:34
  I started caring. But I knew it was going on.
• 1:34:38
  But still, what do we want to do? Well, you
• 1:34:39
  know, it's like life is good. I'm going to go
• 1:34:41
  see Billy Idol and then, you know, maybe I'll go
• 1:34:44
  to the beach and, you know, play with moose for
• 1:34:46
  a while. Politics is not the focal point of my
• 1:34:51
  existence. But for most lefties, like Bernie, like Newscum, like
• 1:34:56
  AOC, it is a religion. They are ideologues. It never
• 1:35:01
  leaves their minds. And Scott, in that way, he kind
• 1:35:05
  of operates like they do. Because he never unwound, I
• 1:35:08
  think. You know what I mean? He seemed like he
• 1:35:10
  was always ready for combat. And it finally caught up
• 1:35:13
  with his aorta, I guess. I think he had a
• 1:35:15
  double bite, but whatever. Something very serious, you know. But
• 1:35:18
  he's an interesting character. He flatlined for two minutes. Yeah.
• 1:35:22
  Ouch. I do want to point out to people, Larry
• 1:35:25
  is not like a northern exposure, out in the woods
• 1:35:28
  kind of guy. Moose is a very little white puppy.
• 1:35:32
  Yes. Moose is 13 pounds of, he's more like a
• 1:35:35
  bull of a deer. He just wants to hang around
• 1:35:37
  and eat escargot and drink fine wine. People were imagining
• 1:35:41
  a much different thing where you're like, I go out,
• 1:35:42
  I play with Moose. They're like, whoa, this guy's real.
• 1:35:46
  Oh, no, no. Moose is a lap dog, 100%. And
• 1:35:50
  he brings the ladies in. That's the only reason to
• 1:35:53
  get a cute little white dog. He does, yeah. Is
• 1:35:56
  there any other setup on this libido clip? No, what
• 1:35:59
  Scott is, like I said, he's so hardcore, Darren, that
• 1:36:03
  I think he had his cardiac epithelium like four days
• 1:36:08
  ago And then he, within I think the first or
• 1:36:12
  second day, he had a video of himself in his
• 1:36:15
  hospital bed. And he's got, you know, he's got IVs
• 1:36:17
  going into him and bandages and it's very serious stuff.
• 1:36:21
  But he did a video saying, you know, I'm not
• 1:36:25
  done. I'm still in. Stay with me. I'm getting out
• 1:36:28
  of here very soon. I mean, he's a force of
• 1:36:30
  nature. There's no question about that. And then this clip
• 1:36:35
  really demonstrates that because the guy's arranging things from his
• 1:36:39
  hospital bed. He's got his own Air Force. Listen to
• 1:36:42
  this clip. It's like he literally can't even slow down
• 1:36:45
  for a minute. No. No. Yeah. Scott Lobedo organized a
• 1:36:49
  protest, America's Artist, against Zorhan Mondani, and they blew them
• 1:36:53
  off. Scott had a confrontation, actually had a heart attack,
• 1:36:57
  almost died. But today, we're just getting this video in,
• 1:37:00
  first year on Newsmax. Scott Lobedo apparently chartered a plane
• 1:37:05
  from his hospital bed, and he's flying this banner over
• 1:37:10
  New York City with a direct message to Zorhan Mondani.
• 1:37:15
  And the guy was almost dead. You see this flying
• 1:37:19
  up and down New York City. This is actually a
• 1:37:22
  live view right now, first on Newsmax. Mondani, stay away
• 1:37:27
  from ground zero. And I don't think you could be
• 1:37:29
  any more clear than that. Shocked a guy who just
• 1:37:33
  had open heart surgery, took the time, but I guess
• 1:37:36
  he wants Mondani to know that the booming's not gonna
• 1:37:39
  stop. New York City's getting a clear message from Staten
• 1:37:44
  Islanders led by Scott Libato. Pretty cool, right? Yeah, that's
• 1:37:49
  the commitment to the craft. Exactly. I mean, exactly. That
• 1:37:53
  guy is a true believer, and wow. I salute him.
• 1:37:57
  And I saw the clip. Ma'am Donnie was booed offstage.
• 1:38:00
  I think it was mainly by a police audience, was
• 1:38:03
  it, in New York? Yeah, I guess it was. I'm
• 1:38:07
  sure if he had his homies there, they'd have drowned
• 1:38:09
  out the police, because he's very popular with them. And
• 1:38:13
  then Elizabeth Warren was booed for saying something. Oh, good.
• 1:38:17
  Maybe people are waking up a little bit more. Maybe.
• 1:38:20
  Because she made a comment somewhere, and she was sitting
• 1:38:24
  on a panel because she was sitting there with the
• 1:38:25
  little microphone and her name in front of her. And
• 1:38:28
  she actually said that she's been tough on the border,
• 1:38:31
  and people just started laughing. Oh, my God. You can't
• 1:38:36
  make this stuff up. It's like, I don't know if
• 1:38:38
  these people are delusional. Or what? It's like, but you
• 1:38:42
  are not tough on the border, madam. I mean, you're
• 1:38:45
  welcome to your point of view if you want open
• 1:38:48
  borders, but this is where people really start jumping into
• 1:38:53
  that dimension B. Maybe she wants people to think now
• 1:38:56
  that she's been tough on the borders and the AI.
• 1:38:58
  Well, she said she was tough on the borders. just
• 1:39:04
  literal insanity and people always complain when they're hearing this
• 1:39:09
  kind of stuff and like like you just said you
• 1:39:11
  lean right wing it's like i lean right wing but
• 1:39:15
  i will tell you that the Republicans are not perfect
• 1:39:18
  and there are things that are going wrong and it
• 1:39:20
  doesn't affect the ability to understand the crap that you're
• 1:39:24
  being fed. Yeah. And if I could find it. I
• 1:39:29
  would bring you all of the right-wing drivel that is
• 1:39:35
  meeting the level of the left, but I can't. So,
• 1:39:37
  I mean, I will challenge any of those people that
• 1:39:40
  are like, oh, no, all of these, everybody, the right-wing
• 1:39:43
  does the same thing. Well, send in those clips. I
• 1:39:45
  would love. Yeah. to see them that are the equivalent
• 1:39:49
  of, you know, Donald Trump can't even make a complete
• 1:39:52
  sentence and they cut to the video of the guy
• 1:39:53
  like doing Shakespeare and it's like. That's not the result.
• 1:40:00
  Thune and Murkowski, but yeah. And I got to know
• 1:40:04
  what this next clip you got here is about sunscreen
• 1:40:07
  and the COVID vax. Is this like literally second half
• 1:40:12
  of show kind of things? I don't know. I mean,
• 1:40:15
  it's just, again, I tripped over this one. And it's,
• 1:40:21
  who's that congressman? You'll recognize his voice, the guy's name.
• 1:40:24
  He's very articulate, smooth. But he said, hey, just play
• 1:40:28
  the clip. Have I been lied to as a Florida
• 1:40:31
  man about sunscreen protecting me from cancer? Yes, it appears
• 1:40:35
  we've all been lied to. Unfortunately, this massive study of
• 1:40:39
  over 470,000 people confirms it. It's very worrisome that when
• 1:40:45
  they compared sunscreen users to non-sunscreen users, the sunscreen users
• 1:40:50
  faced increased risks of all the major skin cancers, melanoma,
• 1:40:56
  squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. evasive melanoma was
• 1:41:05
  300% higher risk in the sunscreen users. They accounted for
• 1:41:11
  skin color, time spent outdoors, and many other things, sex,
• 1:41:16
  age, and they still found these increased risks of the
• 1:41:18
  cancer. So when you use sunscreen all the time, you're
• 1:41:21
  blocking your body's ability to synthesize vitamin D, which is
• 1:41:25
  critical for cancer defense. So you do not want to
• 1:41:28
  shut that off. A JAMA study just came out and
• 1:41:30
  found all those active ingredients in the sunscreens get into
• 1:41:35
  your circulation. They get into your body above FDA regulatory
• 1:41:39
  limits. If you really have to use it, if you'll
• 1:41:41
  be out in the sun for six hours, midsummer day,
• 1:41:45
  you still want to use something, I would use zinc-based
• 1:41:49
  sunscreen, not oxybenzone, none of those hormone disrupting. Wow. Yeah,
• 1:41:54
  how about that? Matt Gates was interviewing this guy. And
• 1:41:58
  there was some companion verbiage to it, Darren, and it
• 1:42:01
  said that the incidence of just skyrocketed. And it was
• 1:42:06
  almost unheard of back in the 1930s, 40s, whatever. And
• 1:42:12
  there was further evidence they had that a lot of
• 1:42:14
  it is not just linked to the... dangerous gunk that
• 1:42:19
  might be in the stuff we spray in our faces
• 1:42:21
  and arms and shoulders, but it's diet related in that
• 1:42:25
  all the crap that we eat, the processed foods, somehow
• 1:42:30
  reduces our resistance to it. And it said that people
• 1:42:32
  who are going more in the vein of heavy carnivores
• 1:42:37
  of properly raised beef, people who used to get terribly
• 1:42:40
  sunburned will switch to a diet of beef. I don't
• 1:42:43
  know if this is true, but it's the report. And
• 1:42:45
  go out and they'll get a color. but they won't
• 1:42:49
  scald and blister and peel the way they did back
• 1:42:52
  when they were on the crappy diet. So they're eat
• 1:42:55
  more steak and hamburger. This is the Texas Beef Initiative
• 1:42:59
  sponsoring us. There it is. And everybody likes steak. Well,
• 1:43:02
  not everybody, but a lot of people do. And it
• 1:43:05
  makes sense that your diet would have an effect. I
• 1:43:08
  mean, vitamin D is one of the main things when
• 1:43:11
  you go to the doctor and they do the blood
• 1:43:12
  test. You either got enough or you don't. If you
• 1:43:14
  don't know, you got to supplement it. Yeah. But the
• 1:43:19
  dangerous chemicals in all of this, it's like diet soda.
• 1:43:22
  So you read the chemical list and you're like, hey,
• 1:43:23
  did you really just drink water? Exactly. Yeah. That stuff's
• 1:43:28
  so bad. I could never, ever get past the aftertaste
• 1:43:32
  in diet sodas. Never. The aspartame or the saccharin was
• 1:43:38
  the worst one at first. But they never taste just
• 1:43:42
  like, oh, no, it tastes just like regular soda, which
• 1:43:45
  is horrible for you as well. But you know what?
• 1:43:47
  Sugar is less of a problem if, well, back in
• 1:43:51
  the days when you actually had natural cane sugar in
• 1:43:54
  your soda rather than the high fructose corn syrup. Right.
• 1:43:59
  They cut the corners and try to make more money
• 1:44:02
  on every product that they put out there. Sure. Do
• 1:44:06
  they sell Mexican Coke in Chicago? Yeah. When we used
• 1:44:09
  to go to Costco, we'd get the 18-pack or whatever
• 1:44:13
  it was, and then you kind of just had to
• 1:44:15
  cut back because it's just so good. But in the
• 1:44:17
  summer, There's nothing like. a bottle glass bottle yeah of
• 1:44:23
  mexican coke real cane sugar real change and the taste
• 1:44:27
  is astonishingly different than the other crap yes you can
• 1:44:31
  tell i mean if you can't tell the difference then
• 1:44:34
  your taste buds are dead yes yes that's how it
• 1:44:37
  is with all the real cane sugar sodas over the
• 1:44:42
  counterparts that have the high fructose corn syrup there is
• 1:44:45
  a different taste and your body reacts totally differently to
• 1:44:48
  them Do you remember the stuff that came out probably
• 1:44:51
  30 years ago called Jolt? Yeah, that was the best,
• 1:44:54
  man. And they said like right in the label, twice
• 1:44:57
  the caffeine. Like all the bad shit was in there.
• 1:45:01
  Drink this Jolt. It's come and gone a few times.
• 1:45:05
  Somebody tried to revive it. Back in the day when
• 1:45:09
  all the computer guys were drinking Balls, B-A-W-L-S, which is
• 1:45:13
  another like totally caffeinated drink. Hey, you want to stay
• 1:45:17
  up all night and game or code? Oh, wow. Speaking
• 1:45:22
  of balls. Oh, I hope, I'm praying. I know you
• 1:45:26
  mentioned something about WNBA and I'm hoping you're going to
• 1:45:30
  cover this. Yeah, this story is oddly at the front
• 1:45:36
  of the news and it has been for the last
• 1:45:39
  few days and it continues to get stranger. And bigger,
• 1:45:45
  I think. It does. It continues to get bigger. There
• 1:45:48
  were a couple of things going on. The first was
• 1:45:51
  Clay Travis from Outkick Sports said, well, you know, if
• 1:45:54
  you really want to. Stand by your guns that women
• 1:45:58
  and men are the same. Well, then he had an
• 1:46:01
  idea. Because the WNBA has right now a lot of
• 1:46:05
  coaches that are coming out, including in the last day
• 1:46:08
  or two, saying, hey, if a man identifies as a
• 1:46:12
  woman, he should be able to play in the WNBA.
• 1:46:16
  I think that is absolutely ludicrous. It's absurd. The WNBA
• 1:46:19
  commissioner has not spoken out in favor of Sophie Cunningham
• 1:46:23
  or even just in favor of basic rules. It's called
• 1:46:26
  the WNBA because it's the women's basketball association there, right?
• 1:46:32
  play, I think we should have an actual game. Not
• 1:46:36
  NBA players against WNBA players. High school boys. Let me
• 1:46:41
  pick a team. I will put it on pay-per-view. We'll
• 1:46:44
  donate all the profits to Tunnel to Towers for Wounded
• 1:46:48
  Warriors, for the families out there that they're helping to
• 1:46:50
  take care of, first responders. You know Frank Siller. They
• 1:46:54
  do incredible work. We'll put it on pay-per-view. If the
• 1:46:57
  high school boys win, I will give them $10 million.
• 1:47:00
  If the WNBA team wins, I will give them $10
• 1:47:03
  million. I think we would raise tens of millions of
• 1:47:06
  dollars for charity. And I'm putting my money where my
• 1:47:10
  mouth is. If the WNBA really doesn't believe that men
• 1:47:15
  are that much better than women at basketball, then the
• 1:47:18
  champion of the WNBA should be able to beat a
• 1:47:22
  bunch of high school boys, Will. So far, they haven't
• 1:47:25
  responded. They always talk about how they want more money.
• 1:47:32
  in the history of the sport. He's right. I think
• 1:47:37
  the highest... Payroll on a WNBA team now is $7
• 1:47:43
  million for the season. Wow. And he's offering, and the
• 1:47:48
  people coming in to the league, this made big news
• 1:47:51
  when Caitlin Clark came into the league two years ago,
• 1:47:55
  was between 70 and 80,000. So we can round up
• 1:47:57
  and say 80,000. Sure. Offering $10 million to beat a
• 1:48:02
  high school boys basketball team. Why wouldn't these women jump
• 1:48:07
  at it if they thought they had even an even
• 1:48:10
  chance of winning? Sure. Because he also went on to
• 1:48:14
  say that he has heard from countless high school coaches
• 1:48:17
  that are like, hey, hey, hey, look at my team.
• 1:48:20
  I'll bet, yeah. And this makes a very... valid point
• 1:48:26
  that We have covered here and other places that men
• 1:48:31
  and women are not equal physically. They're not? Strength makes
• 1:48:36
  a difference. I know. But this is how, I mean,
• 1:48:39
  just keeping with this little part of the story, this
• 1:48:43
  is how this challenge that the guy from Outkick putting
• 1:48:47
  out, the $10 million challenge, this is how it was
• 1:48:50
  covered by an anchor out of Minneapolis who is an
• 1:48:56
  outwardly, queer woman anchor, but you can figure out what
• 1:49:02
  her point of view might be here. One last thing
• 1:49:05
  tonight. The entire world of women's sports is facing the
• 1:49:08
  debate within its own leagues of who should get to
• 1:49:11
  play and who should not. And a voice that often
• 1:49:14
  shouts loudly in that debate is a right-leaning outlet owned
• 1:49:17
  by Fox News called Outkick Sports. And today its founder
• 1:49:20
  took to a new stunt, one that really makes no
• 1:49:23
  sense if OutKick is really concerned about caring about women
• 1:49:26
  in women's sports. Okay, can anybody explain to me how
• 1:49:29
  that has anything to do except to show that he
• 1:49:32
  cares about women in women's sports, not having to play
• 1:49:36
  against a larger, more powerful man? But no, no, she's
• 1:49:43
  going to take it the exact opposite direction and pretend,
• 1:49:45
  oh no, I can't even figure out why, Larry. Clay
• 1:49:50
  Travis, he's the man behind Outkick. He announced today he's
• 1:49:53
  offering $10 million to the winner of a game of
• 1:49:56
  basketball between a high school boys team of his choosing
• 1:49:59
  and the
• 1:50:00
  WNBA defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces. I thought to
• 1:50:04
  myself, why? But obviously the answer is because he thinks
• 1:50:08
  it is so impossible for any group of women, let
• 1:50:10
  alone the best in the game, that they could ever
• 1:50:13
  beat younger and more inexperienced boys. It's a thinly veiled
• 1:50:18
  sexist joke. What? I know! I know! What? How is
• 1:50:24
  this a sexist joke? It is making a valid point.
• 1:50:28
  And he's putting up enough money, madam. That she's probably
• 1:50:34
  annoyed by that because I think she was a they
• 1:50:35
  there. They're putting up enough money. that this would be
• 1:50:41
  a big payday for this team. So how is it
• 1:50:43
  a joke? Somebody's offering you $10 million to play high
• 1:50:47
  school boys. This is the championship women's team in the
• 1:50:50
  WNBA to play a bunch of high school boys for
• 1:50:54
  $10 million. How is that? Really? I don't think it's
• 1:51:00
  thinly veiled at all. I think it's right out there.
• 1:51:02
  How is it a sexist joke? I don't think it
• 1:51:04
  is. younger and more inexperienced boys. It's a thinly veiled
• 1:51:10
  sexist joke, revealing the actual truth of how he and
• 1:51:12
  his organization feel about women's sports. It's not about caring
• 1:51:16
  about them. They think women's sports are a joke. No,
• 1:51:20
  we just think you're a joke lady. Yeah, well they
• 1:51:22
  think women's sports... She's 50% correct, Larry, because they think
• 1:51:27
  women's sports is a joke once you allow men. to
• 1:51:31
  start playing in that league. Well, there's a lot of
• 1:51:35
  volunteers now, aren't there? Three the last time I checked.
• 1:51:38
  Yeah, I've got two. This is the second one that
• 1:51:40
  came out. This is Royce White, former NBA first-round draft
• 1:51:44
  pick. That's a cool first name, Royce. He's got a
• 1:51:48
  brother named Rolls, I guess. Earlier this week, I made
• 1:51:53
  the announcement. I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as
• 1:51:57
  sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of basketball, professional
• 1:52:02
  basketball. So I'll be declaring for the WNBA draft in
• 1:52:05
  2027 as well. I mean, I think I'd be unstoppable.
• 1:52:11
  But I'm a team first guy. I'm a pass first
• 1:52:14
  kind of player. I do the little things. I led
• 1:52:17
  my team in all five major stat categories at Iowa
• 1:52:20
  State University. So I do a little bit of everything.
• 1:52:23
  I'll do whatever the coach needs me to do. I'll
• 1:52:24
  do whatever the girls need me to do. I think
• 1:52:28
  the WNBA could come out and make a definitive statement
• 1:52:31
  about guys with a pair of balls playing in the
• 1:52:34
  women's association. But, you know, hey, that'd be. That'd be
• 1:52:38
  probably too much like right. And I don't want to
• 1:52:41
  be discriminated against. I want fair treatment. I'm a black,
• 1:52:46
  I'm a young black, hopefully United States Senator, that would
• 1:52:52
  like a fair chance to participate as a sometimes identifying
• 1:52:56
  as a transgender woman athlete. Like, his delivery was good
• 1:53:03
  on that one. Royce is cool, man. I dig that.
• 1:53:05
  And the latest from the WNBA, because, of course, they're
• 1:53:10
  like, oh, geez, now what? Well, this is still a
• 1:53:14
  nuanced topic, Larry. It's nuanced. Nuanced? Yeah. Okay. Whether it's
• 1:53:20
  a dude. with balls or whether it's a female for
• 1:53:24
  the WNBA it is still This next clip here is
• 1:53:29
  the original guy, NS Cantor Freedom. He was the first
• 1:53:32
  one that came out. And so I've got, I think,
• 1:53:35
  like the first 20 seconds or so is his. statement
• 1:53:38
  saying he wants to play in the WNBA, followed immediately
• 1:53:42
  by Stephen A. Smith and his reaction. on trans. We
• 1:54:09
  don't want to hate on trans folks. That's not what
• 1:54:10
  that's about. Anybody who's hating on them should be ashamed
• 1:54:13
  of themselves. The WNBA, the NDA, and everybody else in
• 1:54:17
  between is absolutely right when they talk about not violating
• 1:54:20
  people's civil rights and liberties, not being hateful, not engaging
• 1:54:25
  in hate in any way, shape, form, or fashion, whether
• 1:54:27
  verbally, physically, or otherwise. We all know that. But what
• 1:54:31
  Anita's cancer is pointing to is about competition. So for
• 1:54:35
  somebody and for folks to act like it would be
• 1:54:41
  okay for them to participate in the WNBA is ridiculous.
• 1:54:45
  And when you have athletes from the WNBA saying that
• 1:54:49
  they're looking out for and speaking up on behalf of
• 1:54:53
  girls because it would clearly be an unfair advantage to
• 1:54:58
  a trans athlete. over people born female. What's the problem?
• 1:55:04
  What's the problem? We got to have common sense. And
• 1:55:07
  yes, Enos Cantor is going a bit too far, but
• 1:55:10
  he's right to do so to make a point. And
• 1:55:12
  Royce White, former NBA player, now a conservative pundit, he's
• 1:55:16
  right too because he's trying to make a point. Certain
• 1:55:18
  things are beyond ridiculous and you got to call it
• 1:55:21
  out. Just to send a message. Do you get it
• 1:55:24
  now? Are you sure you want to continue this subject?
• 1:55:27
  Are you sure you want to continue on this path?
• 1:55:29
  Sure you don't want to be political pawns. Fine. Then
• 1:55:32
  understand that the WNBA is for girls and people born
• 1:55:36
  female and leave it at that. And stop acting like
• 1:55:38
  you don't know. Otherwise, there'll be a lot more Enos
• 1:55:40
  Cantus. We all know y'all don't want that. Yeah, but
• 1:55:45
  I'm not sure they don't want that. I mean, that's
• 1:55:47
  the weird thing with whatever's going on at the WNBA.
• 1:55:51
  This is just a really quick clip from the head
• 1:55:54
  coach of the Indiana— Before you go there, I just
• 1:55:57
  want to say I really enjoyed listening to Stephen A.
• 1:56:01
  Smith there because he was talking, not screaming. He's hit
• 1:56:04
  and miss. Well, that was actually very good. It was
• 1:56:07
  very good. He needs to stay that course. I'm sorry
• 1:56:10
  for the interruption. Mellow out that delivery rather than going
• 1:56:13
  the— Yeah, yeah. Well. Let me tell you, Larry. Let
• 1:56:17
  me tell you this. That's very good. You got it,
• 1:56:21
  man. He goes from the quiet to the loud, the
• 1:56:23
  quiet to the loud. He is working the crowd all
• 1:56:27
  the time. This is the coach of the Indiana Fever,
• 1:56:29
  which is the team with Sophie Cunningham and with Caitlin
• 1:56:32
  Clark. And when she was asked about this particular... nun
• 1:56:39
  drum about well men and women's sports her answer was
• 1:56:42
  maybe possibly the dumbest thing I've heard so far in
• 1:56:48
  this whole ordeal. What is your stance on men or
• 1:56:52
  athletes who test as biological male participating in women's sports?
• 1:56:56
  What's your personal stance? Yeah, I mean, I don't know
• 1:57:00
  that I would say that I'm educated enough from a
• 1:57:02
  scientific standpoint. I don't ever believe that exclusion is an
• 1:57:05
  answer. I just don't. She is not educated enough in
• 1:57:10
  the scientific standpoint to understand the difference between a male
• 1:57:14
  and a female. Head coach, Indiana Fever. She must be
• 1:57:17
  friends with that Supreme Court justice who couldn't say what
• 1:57:20
  a woman was. Yes. Yeah. It's the same thing. I
• 1:57:23
  mean, I saw a, it was either a meme or
• 1:57:25
  somebody posted the other day that if somebody would have
• 1:57:27
  told you 10 years ago that the biggest argument going
• 1:57:30
  around the country would be whether a man, what is
• 1:57:33
  a man and what is a woman, nobody would believe
• 1:57:36
  it. It's incredible. I know how we can take advantage
• 1:57:41
  of this, Darren. We're going to go to the WNBA.
• 1:57:43
  I could play. Even with one eye, I could play.
• 1:57:46
  You could, absolutely. I'm sure you'd do very well. But
• 1:57:48
  I'm thinking maybe what we need to do is propose
• 1:57:52
  Adam C. Curry. He is 6'5". So am I. You
• 1:57:56
  are too. Imagine what it would do suddenly. These podcast
• 1:58:00
  guys, they want in now. I mean, holy, that would
• 1:58:04
  be sensational. What a play. The towers of power. comment
• 1:58:08
  to you right from the WNBA. Yes, yes, yes. And
• 1:58:12
  just to prove. how deeply ingrained in identity politics that
• 1:58:18
  the WNBA is. The coach, which we just heard from,
• 1:58:22
  from the Indiana Fever, there was a flagrant foul called
• 1:58:27
  on Sophie Cunningham, who is now getting the crap beat
• 1:58:31
  out of her, just like Caitlin Clark has had. I
• 1:58:34
  saw that. That was infuriating, man. The foul was up
• 1:58:38
  to the level where the player was ejected. the Indiana
• 1:58:45
  Fever, the coach that is on Sophie's team, the woman
• 1:58:49
  that got mauled. was like, well, you know, I guess
• 1:58:53
  it was the right call, but I don't think it
• 1:58:54
  was intentional. Like, sure, sure, it wasn't intentional, but the...
• 1:59:00
  player that fouled her so hard she was ejected. went
• 1:59:06
  immediately to social media. And do you know what she
• 1:59:10
  posted on social media? Tell me. White privilege. Because Sophie's
• 1:59:16
  white and this girl's black. This is how down the
• 1:59:20
  rabbit hole. these folks in the wnba are and nobody
• 1:59:24
  ever cared about the wnba let's be honest No. Until
• 1:59:29
  Caitlin Clark got there. But it's a very good example
• 1:59:32
  of the culture war that is going on right now.
• 1:59:36
  Yes, yes, yes, it is. And it's hilarious to me
• 1:59:40
  that you have NBA guys now going, well, I'd like
• 1:59:43
  to play. Well, you and Adam have to be next.
• 1:59:46
  They're going to let him in. I want to find
• 1:59:48
  out what kind of a fund that could be. But
• 1:59:52
  since people say, you know, we don't go after the
• 1:59:54
  right wingers enough, here is a clip from Megyn Kelly
• 1:59:57
  where I think she's being a total bitch.
• 2:00:01
  Caitlin Clark was directly asked to speak on it, and
• 2:00:04
  she was cowardly. She refused to do it. It is
• 2:00:09
  one thing to inject politics into your sport where they
• 2:00:14
  don't belong, like Colin Kaepernick kneeling in the middle of
• 2:00:18
  professional football games. It's quite another when little girls are
• 2:00:22
  getting the shit kicked out of them in their sport,
• 2:00:25
  and you are the most famous woman in women's basketball,
• 2:00:29
  and you're directly asked as the issue rears its head
• 2:00:32
  in your sport, and you punt on it. You won't
• 2:00:37
  say anything. You'd rather let the 12-year-olds handle it. that
• 2:00:43
  Big words from Megan for trying to get in the...
• 2:00:48
  Shoes of a Caitlin Clark who is already getting the
• 2:00:52
  crap kicked out of her by the other women in
• 2:00:54
  the league. Yes. And if she doesn't want to make
• 2:00:59
  a statement. That's America, baby. She doesn't have to get
• 2:01:03
  political. No, she doesn't. No. You know, so to be
• 2:01:07
  here and be like, no, she's in, you know, I
• 2:01:10
  just don't even understand. the insanity that this is where
• 2:01:16
  we are now, that you have to. I mean, I'm
• 2:01:19
  tired of people that are like you. Not only do
• 2:01:21
  you have to support us or believe that we're right,
• 2:01:24
  but you have to now come out and publicly. say
• 2:01:28
  something, getting called out. I think Meghan's forgetting, you know,
• 2:01:31
  that this is a free country. And that this woman
• 2:01:36
  is getting the crap kicked out of her on a
• 2:01:38
  daily basis. It was a great... 10, 12 minutes. Victor
• 2:01:44
  Davis Hanson did the other day. Check it out on
• 2:01:47
  YouTube talking about this. But he's like the identity politics
• 2:01:50
  in the WNBA. Very interesting because it seems that it
• 2:01:55
  is a majority black players and also a majority lesbian.
• 2:02:02
  And you have Caitlin Clark and now Sophie Cunningham, who
• 2:02:06
  are straight white girls, that... all of a sudden are
• 2:02:11
  the most popular people in the league and are now,
• 2:02:15
  even though these other players. have gone from literally the
• 2:02:20
  change because caitlyn clark hitting in the amount of people
• 2:02:23
  that are watching the wnba they've gone from having to
• 2:02:27
  fly coach to being able to fly private all of
• 2:02:31
  their contracts have gone up they're all making more money
• 2:02:36
  but they hate her Because she doesn't look like them
• 2:02:40
  because she doesn't share the same You know sexual preference
• 2:02:45
  that they do it is insane Yeah. I'm not a
• 2:02:50
  regular watcher of Megyn Kelly, but lately I kind of
• 2:02:53
  get the feeling very often she's just doing a pot-stirring
• 2:02:56
  deal, you know? Maybe it was the Ozempic. I mean,
• 2:02:59
  something happened. Oh, did she Ozempic herself, too? Yeah, I
• 2:03:01
  think so. I mean, there was a change that was
• 2:03:03
  pretty quick at one point. But, I mean, that's just
• 2:03:07
  speculation. That is just from the producer's mode, as John
• 2:03:11
  and Adam would always say. Just strictly from a producer's
• 2:03:16
  mode where we'll comment upon the way that she looks.
• 2:03:19
  Megan's an amateur. She's an amateur compared to Ariana Grande.
• 2:03:22
  I know. The girl needs a hamburger, man. I'm telling
• 2:03:25
  you. That girl needs professional attention. I mean, she's getting
• 2:03:29
  into the Karen Carpenter zone. I mean, really, that's no
• 2:03:32
  joke. It's sad. It is, because she's got talent. She
• 2:03:35
  can sing. She's got tremendous talent, yeah. I mean, you
• 2:03:37
  may not like her music, but she can actually sing
• 2:03:40
  without all of the auto-tune and all of that. Sure.
• 2:03:44
  Very talented girl. I see these pictures like, oh, my
• 2:03:47
  God. Wow. What are you doing? How much is social
• 2:03:50
  media? Because they are being judged on a minute-by-minute basis.
• 2:03:54
  And you and I will read at some point some
• 2:03:56
  of the reviews of us doing the show. Adam was
• 2:03:59
  very kind. A lot of people seem to like what
• 2:04:01
  we're doing. But there are some that have been vicious.
• 2:04:04
  No. Nobody could. Larry and I, it's kind of like,
• 2:04:08
  hey, did you see this one? Oh, yeah, did you
• 2:04:09
  see this? And it's funny, but for somebody like Ariana
• 2:04:12
  Grande, I mean, the negativity might actually cause a problem.
• 2:04:18
  And, you know, oh, no, I got to be perfect.
• 2:04:21
  I got to achieve whatever the goal is. And this
• 2:04:24
  social media with kids that do nothing but sit at
• 2:04:27
  home on their screens rather than going out and having
• 2:04:31
  conversations with their friends and not worried about what anybody
• 2:04:35
  outside of their little group. cared about. I mean, that's...
• 2:04:39
  Didn't have the... to see that until the internet rolled
• 2:04:44
  around and by the time the internet rolled around I
• 2:04:46
  mean it really became prevalent you know I was already
• 2:04:49
  in my 30s so by that point you have a
• 2:04:52
  whole different skin on you to take the people that
• 2:04:57
  are going to be haters. But it's horrible. I mean,
• 2:05:00
  I don't have kids, so a lot of people are
• 2:05:02
  like, oh, you shouldn't even comment. But you can see
• 2:05:04
  it. It's dangerous. It's bad. It's very dangerous. Very so.
• 2:05:08
  Much so. I think Adam had a great phrase for,
• 2:05:12
  what do you say, sort of like the... It wasn't
• 2:05:15
  chemically or digitally induced autism. Yeah. And I absolutely know
• 2:05:21
  that for a fact because I, you know, back in
• 2:05:23
  the day in school and my kids were in school
• 2:05:26
  in Los Angeles. There were several kids I knew that
• 2:05:30
  the goddamn iPad was just basically stitched to the palms
• 2:05:35
  of their hands. They never put it down. And by
• 2:05:39
  the time these kids were five, six years old, they
• 2:05:41
  basically, I don't know whether they couldn't or wouldn't speak.
• 2:05:44
  Wow. You know, like, yeah. Yeah, like, what are you
• 2:05:47
  doing? Rip that out of that kid's paws, you know?
• 2:05:51
  So, yeah, yeah, it is what it is. Yes, again,
• 2:05:56
  parents, make your kids grow up without the technology as
• 2:06:00
  much as you can. Some people will be like, it's
• 2:06:02
  impossible, Juan. I don't think it's impossible. You can limit
• 2:06:05
  it. You can do a flip phone if you want
• 2:06:08
  to feel like your kid can get a hold of
• 2:06:09
  you. Do the flip phone. They don't need full access
• 2:06:13
  to everything, at least until they're in high school. And
• 2:06:16
  even then, you want to be on top of them
• 2:06:19
  and understand and explain. You're going to have to have
• 2:06:23
  those hard conversations. I mean, parents never want to have,
• 2:06:25
  you know, the birds and the bees. It's always like,
• 2:06:27
  oh, maybe I can wait. I don't want to do
• 2:06:29
  it when they're 12. But you've got to be on
• 2:06:31
  top of this stuff. Give me an etch-a-sketch. That's the
• 2:06:34
  answer. I used to be like, I know. Oh, man,
• 2:06:39
  it's like turn one knob, turn the other knob. You
• 2:06:41
  know, there's like at least three no agenda artists right
• 2:06:44
  now like, action sketch, that's the artwork we're going to
• 2:06:46
  need. Could do anything but dot an I. That was
• 2:06:49
  it. Yeah. You can't skip. You'd have to be really
• 2:06:51
  good to skip. Now, you've got one more here. I've
• 2:06:55
  got one more. Is there a setup? Forget that one.
• 2:06:57
  We'll save that for next time. Good old Stevie Miller.
• 2:07:01
  Yeah. There's no shelf life to it. It'll be just
• 2:07:05
  as good next time. Well, this one for anybody that
• 2:07:08
  has listened to Planet Rage. you you will recognize this
• 2:07:13
  horrible AI tune. *laughter* like to congratulate President Trump on
• 2:07:46
  becoming the first U.S. leader to lose a war. Iran
• 2:07:51
  makes a deal, all right, not with Trump, but with
• 2:07:55
  Oman. They now jointly control the Strait of Hormuz and
• 2:08:00
  Trump and the U.S. We can pay the effing toll.
• 2:08:05
  Cash only! There didn't used to be a toll. Now
• 2:08:09
  there's a toll. Big L for Trump. Trump, an American
• 2:08:14
  president, has lost a war. I'm so tired of all
• 2:08:17
  the winning, so let's try all the losing. Yes, the
• 2:08:21
  Countdown podcast is back. Glad you noticed after 88 days
• 2:08:26
  of rest and recovery. Yeah, I just wanted to say
• 2:08:29
  88. 88. Please, thank you. And we have Trump losing
• 2:08:34
  in Iran, Abdul El-Sayed winning in Michigan and immediately going
• 2:08:37
  on the offensive, throwing punches at the Republican. The bigger
• 2:08:41
  picture about how Trump is making pollution and death by
• 2:08:44
  climate change great again. The failures of Maggie Haberman and
• 2:08:48
  The Times and the Tony Fauci hearings. or the many
• 2:08:53
  faces of Laura Ingraham. And you know what I mean!
• 2:08:59
  All on the Thursday Countdown Podcast, wherever you podcast, and
• 2:09:02
  the full video version. Me on camera for an hour.
• 2:09:07
  I don't know if that's a great selling point. Now
• 2:09:10
  on YouTube. No, it's not. It's not a great selling
• 2:09:13
  point. I am so glad you did that. And what
• 2:09:16
  great timing on Keith's part. I think in some way,
• 2:09:18
  like, we're magnetically linked, we three. Back after almost three
• 2:09:23
  months because he started having AFib. And his doctor told
• 2:09:28
  him that he should cut down on the anger. But
• 2:09:31
  I doubt he's one that can. Picked down on the
• 2:09:35
  anger. He doesn't seem like he could. But he's a
• 2:09:38
  better doctor than Scott Lobato does. Well, he got him
• 2:09:42
  before the... That's true. So it's good to hear Keith's
• 2:09:46
  voice again. I'm glad he's around. And let's... I want
• 2:09:51
  to give full credit. That composition is all Darren O'Neill.
• 2:09:56
  He's not doing the singing. No, bad AI. Ha ha.
• 2:10:00
  But, man, that became an absolute classic on Planet Rage.
• 2:10:04
  People always wanted to hear that. Keef the Kweef. And
• 2:10:07
  you did several iterations, but that's the best one. That's
• 2:10:10
  really great. Again, we learned from no agenda. People like,
• 2:10:13
  and then all of a sudden you create something like
• 2:10:15
  that, and they're like, oh, no, you've got to keep
• 2:10:16
  playing that. Yeah. How these things happen, we'll never know.
• 2:10:21
  We're just glad they do. Show my support by donating
• 2:10:25
  to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do
• 2:10:28
  that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, this is a

  podcast that is out there. It's value for value. And
• 2:10:43
  Sir Chris Wilson sent this out, too, for the value
• 2:10:45
  for value. So let me listen to this. This is

  got any value out of the show, you get to
• 2:11:40
  go over to noagendadonations.com. And whatever number hits you, whatever
• 2:11:46
  number, means something to you. Numerology is a big part
• 2:11:49
  of this. For some people, five bucks is a lot
• 2:11:51
  of money. Some people might throw 50. Some might throw
• 2:11:54
  500 or 5,000. It all depends on how much value
• 2:11:58
  that you got out of the show. And let's see,
• 2:12:02
  how many people do we have live here in the
• 2:12:04
  troll room? Let's see. That is 771 now with a
• 2:12:12
  peak of 1103. Everybody wanted to hear the podfather. Okay,
• 2:12:17
  man. Yeah, 1103. Not bad. They always run. Like, right
• 2:12:20
  when they're like, oh, no, they're going to talk about
• 2:12:21
  donations, we got to run. The trolls are afraid of
• 2:12:25
  donations. I don't know why. Trolls, just go to noagendedonations.com.
• 2:12:29
  You will feel good. You will. And that way you'll
• 2:12:32
  know. Get your podcasting 2.0 app. We have to acknowledge
• 2:12:35
  that one of the ways you can show some value
• 2:12:37
  is by doing artwork for the show. And we were
• 2:12:41
  totally remiss on the last show to not mention Mike
• 2:12:45
  Riley's beautiful artwork of the water tower with the Iranian
• 2:12:50
  lock. It is so beautiful to see Mike Riley back.
• 2:12:53
  I know, Larry, you didn't follow the art as closely
• 2:12:55
  as I did, which was, well, way too close. It
• 2:12:57
  was beautiful, though. I was throwing out so much artwork.
• 2:13:01
  And Adam had to get me out of the competition
• 2:13:03
  just so the other artists can come back. and step
• 2:13:07
  up and Mike Riley, a true artist, he's published books
• 2:13:10
  of his work. He is a cartoonist who does this
• 2:13:14
  thing without the AI assistance. Oh, wow. Which makes him
• 2:13:18
  even more impressive. If you like that and you'd like
• 2:13:22
  to find out more, just go over to MikeRiley.lol, which
• 2:13:26
  is a great domain. It is. Now, on the last
• 2:13:30
  show, we had a few different things to choose from.
• 2:13:34
  And I'll pull this here up as well. But the
• 2:13:37
  one we chose came from Parker Pauly, a black knight.
• 2:13:42
  And it was of the JCD Buzzkill Shaver, Thank you.
• 2:13:49
  Adam and John taught me always go with the joke.
• 2:13:55
  And this was the perfect joke. It was. The shaver
• 2:14:00
  from the story that Adam told that he would turn
• 2:14:03
  on JCD's microphone. And, you know, he might be eating
• 2:14:06
  breakfast or he might be shaving. And we're like, what?
• 2:14:10
  Who's shaving right before the show with an electric razor,
• 2:14:13
  which now makes you wonder? What's inside that Heil PR-40
• 2:14:18
  that he was using? There has to be some... Trimmings.
• 2:14:23
  There's got to be some trimmings in there. There is
• 2:14:27
  no doubt about it. Oh, I've got thunder going on
• 2:14:30
  loud. Just a fair warning. Oh, really? Yeah, the area
• 2:14:35
  here lately, anytime it rains, it seems like the power
• 2:14:39
  goes out. So hopefully I won't disappear. But there were.
• 2:14:42
  A plethora of interesting pieces. We liked Tyler Brown's Fauci
• 2:14:47
  in the orange jumpsuit, but that was too depressing. A
• 2:14:50
  little bit, but it was good. The one from Comic
• 2:14:54
  Strip Blogger. which had two men and a woman in
• 2:14:59
  the middle and said, O'Neal, Blydener, and Curry. We didn't
• 2:15:03
  know why you made Larry a blonde woman. Because the
• 2:15:05
  trans Larry. It's got to be it, right? So you
• 2:15:09
  can get into the WNBA now. Why not? We'll make
• 2:15:13
  it a threesome. Is there a women's podcasting network? I
• 2:15:17
  don't know. What are we trying to do? Tyler Brown,
• 2:15:22
  the Grimm Fauci fairy tale. I thought that was... cute
• 2:15:27
  but just it didn't have the oomph that the Parker-Hawley
• 2:15:34
  piece had. Although I did like Nesworks, the Larry and
• 2:15:38
  Derry, because everybody's going to start... Yes, that was funny.
• 2:15:41
  And Scaramanga, I mean, you're getting closer with the cheesecake.
• 2:15:47
  When the thunder is coming through the noise gate, you
• 2:15:50
  know. You know the weather's fun. So thank you to
• 2:15:55
  the Parker Polly and everybody who has sent artwork in.
• 2:15:58
  I see there's already some interesting Mike Riley pieces. Good
• 2:16:01
  to have him back. Name Kenny Ben was back. Comic
• 2:16:04
  strip blogger. It's like the old. Art crowd is back.
• 2:16:08
  Good old days. Yeah. And we very much appreciate that,
• 2:16:13
  but we also appreciate the people that come in financially,
• 2:16:17
  and these are real credits. If you come in at
• 2:16:21
  3:33 or over, you are an executive producer 200 or
• 2:16:24
  over. Associate executive producer they are indeed. real credits that
• 2:16:30
  you can use on your imdb page and larry's imdb
• 2:16:33
  page is very interesting as well God, I haven't even
• 2:16:36
  looked at that in years. I'll have to take a
• 2:16:38
  peek. You've got to update it. Make sure it's all
• 2:16:40
  right. I never do that stuff. I just leave it
• 2:16:43
  to the fates. Yeah, never. Damn, I'm telling you this
• 2:16:48
  is a, the thunder's going good here, but we have
• 2:16:50
  a bunch of people to thank today. We do. And
• 2:16:53
  I'll start off here with our buddy Ron V, 42,
• 2:16:58
  coming in from Hoffman Estates, Illinois. I met him at
• 2:17:00
  the only meetup that I've gone to so far. Oh,
• 2:17:03
  cool. Nice. Sat across from Ron. He's totally not a
• 2:17:06
  spook or anything like that. Totally not doing government work.
• 2:17:09
  Okay. Nothing to worry about whatsoever. He says, in the
• 2:17:12
  morning, everyone at No Agenda, Ron V here, and I
• 2:17:16
  bet either Darren I don't know where Larry will be
• 2:17:18
  reading this. Ooh, he's like Carmack, too. Yeah. I just
• 2:17:22
  want to state that today, Sunday, August 9th, marks my
• 2:17:25
  40 years. My wife has put up with me. Well,
• 2:17:28
  congratulations. Congratulations on that, Ron. Wow. His donation is $404.
• 2:17:34
  Did I say that? Page not found. Page not found.
• 2:17:37
  That's what I thought. Yeah, good. Because a marriage like
• 2:17:39
  this can't be located anywhere else in the wild. 40
• 2:17:43
  years and still not depreciated. knight or dame territory yet,
• 2:17:48
  but I'm circling the round table. Congratulations. Give us a
• 2:17:51
  shout out. Tell my bride she married a legend. Please
• 2:17:55
  hold down the fort and keep no agenda alive. Oh,
• 2:17:59
  and one more thing. Boobs! Well, Ron is the real
• 2:18:04
  deal, Mrs. Ron. He is the real deal. You made
• 2:18:07
  a good choice. 40 years ago. King Grant Judson. A
• 2:18:11
  hell of an accomplishment there, 40 years. Yeah. Scott Vance,
• 2:18:18
  Fallbrook, California. The amount is 333. ITM everyone. I was
• 2:18:26
  hit, hit him, hit in the mouth, I guess. Yes.
• 2:18:30
  Of course, hit in the mouth. Over a year ago
• 2:18:31
  by my friend John Buell and have been listening ever
• 2:18:34
  since. Please de-douche me. JCD's passing hit me harder than
• 2:18:38
  I expected. Thank you and God bless you all. Thank
• 2:18:42
  you, Scott. You've been de-douched. 80 Butters coming in with
• 2:18:51
  30322 from Tiverton, Rhode Island. And says to the Dvorak
• 2:18:57
  family, Larry, Darren, and Adam, my donation comes with a
• 2:19:02
  spirit of gratitude and celebration towards the people who impact
• 2:19:06
  our lives, including all of you. As I write this
• 2:19:10
  on Bittersweet88, I think about those we lose often leave
• 2:19:15
  unexpected signs. Antidote time. To honor Mimi, I finally ordered
• 2:19:19
  my own copy of Too Many Eggs. It's a great
• 2:19:22
  book, and you can download it. You can order it
• 2:19:24
  at too-many-eggs.com, I believe. Of course. It was delivered and
• 2:19:30
  sat outside unprotected during a Noah's Ark level downpour. While
• 2:19:35
  my husband was at work and I was out of
• 2:19:37
  state this week, I was convinced I'd come home to
• 2:19:40
  a waterlogged mess inside the box, but instead the book
• 2:19:43
  was pristine. Probably dumb luck, but I'd like to believe
• 2:19:48
  John's spirit helped ensure I could enjoy Mimi's work. August
• 2:19:52
  is a bittersweet month for me too, although the anniversary
• 2:19:56
  of my dad's passing comes this Thursday, I also have
• 2:19:59
  my 10th birthday.
• 2:20:00
  wedding anniversary with Sir Knives to look forward to on
• 2:20:03
  8-27. Well, congratulations. Congratulations. She says, thanks for putting up
• 2:20:09
  with me for so long, my love. In our own
• 2:20:12
  little New England JCD Memorial meetup on the 29th, Larry,
• 2:20:16
  we would be honored if you would even go over
• 2:20:18
  the border to little Rhodey for that. Oh, wow. Otherwise,
• 2:20:23
  we hope to see you soon. weather those we care
• 2:20:27
  about are still with us or not, we can always
• 2:20:30
  be thankful for them and celebrate the impact that they've
• 2:20:32
  had on our lives. For now, I'd just like to
• 2:20:34
  say thank you for reading my note. Thank you to
• 2:20:36
  the entire No Agenda community for your courage. With so
• 2:20:41
  much love to all, Lady Butters. Well, thank you, Lady
• 2:20:44
  Butters. P.S. Attached is the egg book on proud display
• 2:20:49
  alongside our obnoxiously large dictionary in honor of my fellow
• 2:20:53
  word nerd, J.C.D. Oh, and that's where it should be.
• 2:20:57
  Yeah, and I've got to say, I know I have
• 2:20:58
  the great honor of knowing Lady Butters and Sir Knives.
• 2:21:01
  I've met them both and talked with them at length
• 2:21:04
  at a couple of meetups. And they came all the
• 2:21:06
  way into Higginham, Connecticut, where they happened from Rhode Island.
• 2:21:11
  And they are spectacular people. She's a complete, just a
• 2:21:16
  wonderful woman. And Sir Knives, I think, is a very
• 2:21:19
  dangerous guy. I get the feeling there's more to him
• 2:21:23
  than he's telling. He knows a lot of stuff, and
• 2:21:26
  he's a cool dude. So this is a very cool
• 2:21:29
  thing. And if I can get over to your neck
• 2:21:31
  of the woods on the 29th, that would be an
• 2:21:33
  honor. Thank you, ladybug. Well, yeah, it sounds like you
• 2:21:35
  don't want Sir Knives mad at you. Never. No. No.
• 2:21:41
  All right, here we go. Manuka Gold, Hudson, Florida. $250
• 2:21:46
  from the Manuka Gold family. Enjoying the show. We're glad
• 2:21:50
  it kept going while Adam is on vacation because it
• 2:21:53
  would leave a big empty hole in our Thursdays and
• 2:21:56
  Sundays. Darren and Larry, you're doing a great job. And
• 2:21:59
  we're so glad we found Planet Rage because of you
• 2:22:02

  the most powerful tasting honey usually you know you get
• 2:23:07
  a very just sugar sweet and then a little honey
• 2:23:10
  taste yes this is totally the opposite it's still sweet
• 2:23:14
  but the honey punch is like 33 percent more than
• 2:23:18
  anything i've ever uh oh i i can't wait because

  a problem with honey. I mean, the Moose we know

• 2:23:41
  like, oh, yes, honey, please. Maybe he'll be nice to
• 2:23:44
  me for a change. I wouldn't count on it. No.
• 2:23:47
  Although the honey is nice. And Hasmeticus II from Manassas,
• 2:23:53
  Virginia, came in with $223. says, rest in peace, John.
• 2:23:59
  John's passing hit me harder than expected. It felt like
• 2:24:03
  losing a friend or perhaps an old teacher. You know,
• 2:24:05
  that's a, uh... That's a good analog there. Because we
• 2:24:10
  all learned something from John, whether we wanted to or
• 2:24:13
  not. He will certainly be missed, he says. Adam, thank
• 2:24:17
  you for all you do. Please stay on the show.
• 2:24:20
  Great job, Daryl and Harry. Oh, that's a new one.
• 2:24:23
  Daryl and Harry. Daryl and Harry. I'll take it. Okay.

  council, I shall henceforth be known as Sir Hazmaticus, the
• 2:24:53
  second knight and slave to the Lord Christ and keeper
• 2:24:56
  of dogs. You can also add far right white
• 2:25:00

  carry forth by Larry and Darren, the boys over at

  the Millennial Media Offensive, Nick the Rat, and many others
• 2:26:10

• 2:26:52
  much. Even if you don't, it gets contagious. I loved
• 2:26:55
  watching the people walking by and Eli's like, what do
• 2:26:57
  you want? Light, medium, or dark? And they're like, what?
• 2:27:00

  a great question. Yes. Because I hear now it's like
• 2:28:03
  AI is what's being used. in order to even get
• 2:28:08
  your resume to people. So I'm sure Linda's on top
• 2:28:10
  of it. Go to imagemakersinc.com now. Jobs. Jobs. Jo-jo-jo-jobs. I'll

  know him. It felt like he was family. My deepest

  condolences and strength to everyone who held him dear. With

  and everyone else, I'm sorry for your loss. I live
• 2:33:47
  in El Cerrito, and every time John mentioned a local
• 2:33:49
  place, I always knew exactly where and what he was
• 2:33:53
  talking about. Well, that's the danger there when you start
• 2:33:57
  talking. Yes, of course. Move around a lot. That way
• 2:34:01
  you can tell stories and people can't find you. Kristen

• 2:34:38
  the news of your passing was a shock, and I
• 2:34:40
  cried for someone I never met. Your insight and knowledge
• 2:34:44
  will be missed. My condolences to the Dvoraks, Currys, Andrew
• 2:34:48
  Horowitz, and No Agenda Nation. I've been listening to No
• 2:34:52
  Agenda since 2020 when Adam was on Joe Rogan. Ooh,

• 2:35:06
  been deduced well you've been deduced Says, thank you, Darren
• 2:35:14

  And he spelled it with an S, because Ben Rose
• 2:35:21
  pointed out the other day that insightful and insightful both
• 2:35:24
  sound exactly the same. That's true, they do. This one's
• 2:35:28
  from Dennis Hahn of Menominee Falls, Wisconsin, 9364. And I
• 2:35:58
  haven't missed a show. I've also made some great friends
• 2:36:01
  via several No Agenda meetups. When I began listening, John
• 2:36:05
  would always start off the show with the Zephyr Report,
• 2:36:08
  which just happened to be my high school mascot. Therefore,
• 2:36:12
  please knight me as Sir Zephyr of the Valley, defender
• 2:36:16
  of the lands of beer and cows. Also, please add
• 2:36:20
  my daughters, Allison Hahn, who turned 24 on 8-7, and
• 2:36:24
  Sarah Engel, who turns 28 today, 8-9, to the birthday
• 2:36:29
  list. Happy birthday to the best daughters a father could
• 2:36:32
  ask for. Finally, all my love and prayers to the
• 2:36:35
  Dvorak and Curry families in a time of grief. The
• 2:36:39
  Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who
• 2:36:43
  are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34, 18. Richard J. Lindquist
• 2:36:50
  up next, 93-64 from Sequeim. Is that Washington? As a
• 2:36:56
  husband of many years, I understand a little, perhaps, something
• 2:37:00
  of your loss and send my sincere condolences. I am
• 2:37:04
  still in shock and in pain. Best to you from
• 2:37:07
  Sequim. Thank you, Richard. Martin McIntyre of Mount Laurel, New

  by JCD. Well, thank you. Greg Mellon of Glenmore, Pennsylvania,
• 2:38:18
  8888. Overdue note, I was on a backpacking trip when
• 2:38:23
  I heard the news about John. On my drive home,
• 2:38:25
  I listened to the show and cried. I haven't cried
• 2:38:28
  in years. John was like an uncle to me. Even
• 2:38:32
  though we only ever exchanged a few emails, we all
• 2:38:35
  loved him. Coming in next, sir, camera Chris with 8888.
• 2:38:42
  He says, okay, so first PayPal is being really strange.
• 2:38:46
  Doesn't show that I donated. So if they're like seven
• 2:38:49
  payments of $88.88, John got me good. If there are
• 2:38:54
  none, then I really do hate PayPal. Well, it looks
• 2:38:57
  like there was at least one, so maybe it worked
• 2:38:59
  all right here. Anyways, here's my note. Baronette Baylor, a.k.a.
• 2:39:04
  Sir Camera Chris, Grafton, Wisconsin. Birthday shout-out to myself. For
• 2:39:09
  Monday the 10th, I'll be 33 plus 8. Seems fitting.
• 2:39:14
  Mimi, you and the kids have been and will continue
• 2:39:16
  to be in my prayers. You as well as Adam.
• 2:39:20
  Love and light, John. We sure as hell miss you.
• 2:39:23
  Thank you for your courage, Sir Camera Chris. Thank you,
• 2:39:27
  sir. Is this a second from Zadok Brown? It looks
• 2:39:31
  like it. It looks like it. You said that right
• 2:39:34
  the first time. Mechawau, is that right? Mechawau? Mechawau? I
• 2:39:38
  don't know. It's Hawaii. It's like a laid-back dude surfing.
• 2:39:41
  Yeah, well, it's 8888 and no note, and we thank
• 2:39:45
  you again, Zadok. Coming in next, Stacey Streen from Fond

  Scott and Denise of Gallatin, Tennessee, 80.09. Adam, Mimi, and
• 2:42:11
  family, heavy-hearted, doesn't begin to describe our feelings when we
• 2:42:16
  heard the news. So many memories shared with all of
• 2:42:18
  you, too. We've chosen to make a donation of $76
• 2:42:23
  because it took the two of you to celebrate 38
• 2:42:26
  years. Miss him, Scott and Denise. Thank you. And let's
• 2:42:33
  see, the next one is Kevin McLaughlin. I thought we

  did. AD08, God bless America and boobs. Another Kevin McLaughlin.
• 2:42:42
  See, now you're really stomping the one-eyed podcaster. Thank you
• 2:42:45
  very much. Like, didn't I do this? Oh, no, Concord,
• 2:42:48
  North Carolina. Had to get the boobs donation in. It
• 2:42:51
  is very much appreciated, Kevin. Thank you. And again, God
• 2:42:54
  bless America and boobs. And I took Latin in high
• 2:42:59
  school for two years. I can't really say more than
• 2:43:02
  a few words. I can conjugate. Sum est est, sumus
• 2:43:06
  estesunt. That's like all I can remember. That's very good.
• 2:43:08
  I'm impressed. From Latin. You could almost be a priest.
• 2:43:11
  Yeah, except for a few of those other issues. Yeah,
• 2:43:16
  a few of those. Uh-huh. Christian Bowers, 78.77. Thank you,
• 2:43:22
  Larry and Darren. Eternally ITM, JCD. Well, thank you, Christian.
• 2:43:27
  Then Les Tarkowski coming from Kingman, Arizona, right off of
• 2:43:30
  Route 66 6-0-0-6 donation. Is that a coincidence? I'm thinking
• 2:43:35
  maybe not. I love that town, Kingman. Been there a
• 2:43:39
  bunch of times. Always fun. Leafy Learn of Togo Cho,
• 2:43:45
  Aichi, Japan. Wow. I've been listening since 2010's first donation.
• 2:43:52

• 2:44:29
  is getting cooked with Craig. Craig Knosley from Cumberland, B.C.,
• 2:44:35
  Canada, way up there in Kanakistan, came in with $54.30,
• 2:44:40
  says, Love you guys. No homo. I just finished episode
• 2:44:44
  33 tonight. episode one. By the time you get all
• 2:44:51
  the way to where we are now, we'll probably be
• 2:44:54
  90 years old, Craig. The Night of Nights. I shit
• 2:44:58
  you not. I wonder if the memorial was recorded. Pretty
• 2:45:03
  sure JCD would have wanted to monetize it. I don't
• 2:45:07
  think so. But, I mean, you can always donate in
• 2:45:11
  his memory, everybody out there. And just imagine what the
• 2:45:15
  memorial... And there is going to be a public memorial,
• 2:45:17
  so maybe that one will... will be live streamed or
• 2:45:21
  something, I don't know. Craig is a cool guy and
• 2:45:23
  very handy. He built one of the coolest looking or
• 2:45:26
  hottest looking pizza ovens I've ever seen. I know he
• 2:45:28
  has some Canadian name for it, a Cobb oven, whatever.
• 2:45:30
  It looks like a pizza oven to me, and congratulations.
• 2:45:33
  Very nice. And it is, and every time he shows
• 2:45:35
  food, I'm like, how long does it take us to
• 2:45:37
  get from Chirac to there? Exactly. It always looks great.
• 2:45:42
  Always does. Ian McAfee, Ian W. McAfee, excuse me, from

  to know. I don't know. But they're cool. We dig

  them. Yes, they are. And now we have some meetup
• 2:51:21
  reports where we have plenty. of Meetup Reports. Let me
• 2:51:38
  get the audio. We have got 10 meetups. The JCD
• 2:51:41
  Memorial meetups were plentiful, which is beautiful. And all of
• 2:51:47
  the folks that sent in the meetup reports, I'm expecting
• 2:51:51
  a lot more on Thursday. There were a few that
• 2:51:53
  were worried about the audio. Never worry about the audio.
• 2:51:56
  It is about the spirit of the thing. And first
• 2:52:01
  we have the Kala Pooja brewing in Albany, Oregon. And
• 2:52:08
  they said it was a great crowd. The tone was
• 2:52:10
  somber, but they still had a great time discussing our
• 2:52:14
  favorite memories of JCD from Sir M. Madson of the
• 2:52:21
  Mid-Valley. This is Sir M. Madson of the Mid-Valley coming
• 2:52:25
  to you from the Albany, Oregon meetup at Calipuya Brewing.
• 2:52:28
  It was a great time had by all. I'm just

  about 16 people here in Albany, Oregon. In the morning,
• 2:53:15
  this is Sir David Adama. It's my first meetup and
• 2:53:18
  it's going great. Hopefully no agenda continues for a long
• 2:53:23
  time. Sir Jules of Lut here. This is my first
• 2:53:26
  meetup too. Not exactly the reason why I wanted to
• 2:53:28
  attend a meetup, but glad I came. In the morning.
• 2:53:33
  Oh, ITM, it's Betty. In the morning, this is Jeff.
• 2:53:37

  tight as he could, but it's a bit long. That's
• 2:54:20
  okay. He says, wish that Adam and Tina were here.
• 2:54:23
  Please give my love and prayers to the Dvorak family.
• 2:54:27
  And here's what that one sounds like. This is Viscount
• 2:54:31
  Scott of the Armory doing our JCD Memorial meetup in
• 2:54:36
  Sunset Valley, Texas. We miss you. Hey, this is Sir
• 2:54:39
  Matt Wells, Black Knight of the Austin Petty Cabbies, coming
• 2:54:42
  to you from the JCD Memorial Meetup at Docks in
• 2:54:46
  Sunset Valley, Texas, and just want to remind everybody to
• 2:54:50
  stay safe and paint your roof blue. In the morning,
• 2:54:53
  Baroness Salva Austin here. All my financial assets are frozen
• 2:54:57
  until I can get a Zephyr report. It's Mike from
• 2:55:01
  the DC Spook, or that's what John C. DeVore called
• 2:55:05
  me. And I just want to say, we miss John,
• 2:55:08
  Adam, Mimi, the DeVore clan, where you feel your loss.
• 2:55:16

  never be the same without John. Sean Ryan from Valencia.
• 2:55:36
  In the morning to you. Miss JCD. He was my
• 2:55:40
  pessimistic, critical thinking mentor. In the world of touchscreens and
• 2:55:46
  iPhones, John was right about the mouse. Hey, it's Sir
• 2:55:49
  Brian with an I. Just want to let you know
• 2:55:51
  that NewsGuard reduced the score of the New York Times
• 2:55:54
  for their credibility after I told them about John's birthday.
• 2:55:59
  In the morning. Dame G Money here driving in from
• 2:56:04

  got our two human resources and we're happy to be
• 2:56:25
  here. Happy to be here in the morning. Hey, this
• 2:56:29
  is Baron Alex Zavala out of Kiley, Texas. RIP, John.
• 2:56:33
  In the morning, Andrew from Austin. Not a douchebag. First
• 2:56:37

• 2:56:39
  512 saying in the morning. Sorry about your friend, Adam.
• 2:56:42
  Long live the buzzkill from Black Game Local. So in
• 2:56:47
  the morning, Noah and Jenda Nation, we are at the
• 2:56:49

  he has gone to the chaise lounge in the sky,
• 2:56:59
  we'll continue to leave his legacy. I'm Priscilla. I'm Vega's
• 2:57:03

  ants in my pants. My name is... Serenity now. It's
• 2:57:25
  been great. Got a lot of people I haven't seen
• 2:57:28
  in forever. Had a great time. Hey, this is Kristen

  everything. Love you guys. Calls and prayers are with you,

• 2:57:45
  Dios. Adam, everybody has your back. Barry Gordon Walton here.
• 2:57:49
  45 years of KCD was not enough for me. See
• 2:57:52
  you in the afterlife, KCD. All right, guys. My name
• 2:57:56
  is Wes. I'm Greg Roski, a bartender at Doc's. I'm
• 2:57:58
  taking care of the NO Agenda group. Seem like some
• 2:58:00
  good guys taking care of me. Cool group of people
• 2:58:03
  to meet, man. Tracy D. Man, I think if we
• 2:58:14
  ever do a meetup, it should be in Texas. Definitely.
• 2:58:17
  They've got the spirit. Big time. They're having way too
• 2:58:20
  much fun. Yeah. I liked a lot of names that
• 2:58:24
  I recognize in there. Thanks for recording that. Thanks for
• 2:58:27
  sending that in. And thanks for paying tribute to JCD.
• 2:58:30
  Up next is the Memphis JCD Tribute Meetup that was
• 2:58:35
  put together by Commodore Tech Guy Ty. In the morning,
• 2:58:39
  no agenda nation. This is Commodore Tech Guy Ty at
• 2:58:43
  High cotton brewing. We're at the Memphis JCD Memorial Meetup.
• 2:58:47
  In the morning, Sir Nine, forever grateful for the recalibration
• 2:58:51
  of my BS detector from... John C. Dvorak, memory eternal.
• 2:58:57
  With deepest sympathies in the morning for miles. Nick here,
• 2:59:01
  love you guys. I love my truck and I love
• 2:59:03
  what I do. Sir Maggot, having a hard time following
• 2:59:07
  that up. Love you guys. Dame Shell sending love and
• 2:59:11
  light to all of you. Thank you for your courage,
• 2:59:14
  JCD. We are mourning in the morning. Thank you so
• 2:59:18
  much, JCD. You are not forgotten. Here, sir, no please.
• 2:59:23
  Thank you for all that you've done, JCD. Long live
• 2:59:26
  JCD. In the morning. In the morning! A lot of
• 2:59:31
  closure going on all around the world. Definitely. Including up
• 2:59:36
  next year, we have the Perth No Agenda Producers JCD
• 2:59:39
  Tribute Meetup. They say our sincere condolences for John's passing.
• 2:59:44
  Our meetup was a mix of celebrating John's life with
• 2:59:47
  fond memories and laughs, as well as a somber tribute
• 2:59:50
  to a man we all respected and admired. Stay strong,
• 2:59:54
  brother. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves
• 2:59:57
  those who are crushed in spirit.
• 3:00:00
  and they included a photo and two of the guys
• 3:00:03
  wearing the photo of JCD that giving the salute with
• 3:00:10
  big text on the top that said, it's a scam.
• 3:00:13
  I love it. No agenda shop. You need to make
• 3:00:15
  those. Those were cool. Yes. Oh, JC, in the morning,
• 3:00:20
  we're really going to miss you. You're the uncle that
• 3:00:23
  I never had. Thank you for the wisdom. Thank you
• 3:00:26
  for the guidance. Thank you for the many, many stories.
• 3:00:30
  to miss your brother and to Adam and the family
• 3:00:34
  all the best and we're all going to support you
• 3:00:37
  no agenda thrown through take care It's the greatest scam
• 3:00:43
  in the universe! Dvorak, the world is a worse place
• 3:00:47
  without you in it. May the slaves aspire to your
• 3:00:50
  greatness. Come on mate, come back to us John. It's
• 3:00:53
  all a scam. You were right. In the morning, thanks
• 3:00:56
  Adam and JCD. In the morning, this is Sir Richard
• 3:01:00
  Valens down under. Mimi, Adam and family, love is lit.
• 3:01:05
  This is bullcrap. In the morning, for John C. Dvorak,
• 3:01:11
  what a legend. cold, wet day in the morning. In
• 3:01:18
  the morning, very much sad about the times that we're
• 3:01:22
  in. JCB picked a good time to exit and commissioned
• 3:01:27
  submissions to Adam and families and Mimi and families and
• 3:01:31
  yeah, made the show go on in some format in
• 3:01:34
  the morning. In the morning, Mimi, we're so sorry for
• 3:01:38
  you and your family and the loss of JCB must
• 3:01:40
  be so hard for you right now. But Adam, we
• 3:01:43
  feel for you too. We're here celebrating JCB's life with
• 3:01:47
  a great group of In The Morning people and we
• 3:01:51
  love you and In The Morning from Australia. In The
• 3:01:55
  Morning, this is producer Vangelie. I just want to say
• 3:01:58
  in memory of John, Captain, my Captain, you've led us
• 3:02:02
  through different ways of thinking. You've led us through difficult
• 3:02:06
  times and we have all the fondest of memories and
• 3:02:10
  this meet-up is in special dedication to everything that you've
• 3:02:14
  done, We've left the world a much better place. You're
• 3:02:23
  not wrong about that. Those Aussies, they're cool, man. They
• 3:02:27
  know how to party, too, just like Texas. They do,
• 3:02:30
  yeah. Next up, Hamilton, Ontario, the JCD Tribute Meetup. Three
• 3:02:35
  of us had a small but very enjoyable meetup at
• 3:02:37
  the Fool and Flagon Pub in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Attaches
• 3:02:43
  the audio. Big thank you to Sir Dwight the Knight
• 3:02:46
  for organizing it, and it was sent in by Sir
• 3:02:49
  Chris. In the morning, this is Sir Dwight the Knight
• 3:02:52
  at the Hamilton Memorial for JCD meetup. And we all
• 3:02:59
  miss you, John. Everybody stay strong, and thank you for
• 3:03:02
  your courage. I'm going to pass the phone around now.
• 3:03:05
  In the morning, this is Keneil from Hamilton, Ontario meetup
• 3:03:09
  and I'm gonna miss John and I'm gonna miss his
• 3:03:14
  humor and wit and yeah, I will remember you as
• 3:03:18
  long as we listen to this show. And finally, this
• 3:03:22
  is Sir Chris, also Hamilton, Ontario. Rest in power, JCD.
• 3:03:27
  Thank you for your courage and just one final question.
• 3:03:29
  Is this gonna delay the vinegar book? It's being rolled
• 3:03:34
  into another Dvorak family cookbook, from what I understand. That's
• 3:03:38
  cool. I didn't know that. If what I heard correctly
• 3:03:40
  during one of those of the tribute shows, if anybody
• 3:03:44
  hasn't gotten through the longer of the tribute shows, they
• 3:03:49
  are well worth it. Just break them up. A lot
• 3:03:51
  of great stories, a lot of great information. And, yeah,
• 3:03:54
  the vinegar book was real. It was just, I think,
• 3:03:57
  it was Mimi that said it was more of a
• 3:03:59
  pamphlet than a book. I heard that. I remember her
• 3:04:02
  saying. that yeah i think it makes sense i mean
• 3:04:04
  it's vinegar go to get too many eggs too many
• 3:04:07
  eggs.com start there and then move on. The next one
• 3:04:11
  is Wilmington, Delaware, Remembering JCD Meetup. It says, Hi, Adam.
• 3:04:16
  This is our meetup report for Remembering JCD from Wilmington,
• 3:04:19
  Delaware. Thank you for everything you do. You are an
• 3:04:23
  angel. We're here for the meetup at Delaware Park in
• 3:04:28
  Wilmington, Delaware. My name's Josh. Checking in. Amy, checking in.
• 3:04:33
  Sarcastic nomad. Love you, mean it, no homo. Ed from
• 3:04:39
  downtown, RIP JCD and thanks for a good run to
• 3:04:43
  Mooncash. Yes. Yeah, definitely a good run. Nobody can argue
• 3:04:49
  that. Up next, the Sonoma Wino Country Meetup, which I
• 3:04:53
  like. 10.0, I don't know if that just keeps Windows.
• 3:04:58
  Windows 10, is that what that's like? Probably, yeah. In
• 3:05:01
  the morning, Adam, Sir Zolbot made a little hiccup on
• 3:05:05
  his... Oh, I took care of that. I did the
• 3:05:08
  editing, so you don't have to. Oh, wow. Let's see.
• 3:05:12
  Thank you for your courage, Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II.
• 3:05:18
  In the morning, this is Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II
• 3:05:21
  here at Sonoma County Meetup 10.0, reminiscent about JCD. This
• 3:05:28
  is Sir Reesmeister. We love you, John. We all miss
• 3:05:31
  you. This is a dude named Ben named Ben Duke
• 3:05:35
  of San Francisco. John, you will be missed. It won't
• 3:05:39
  be the same without you. And there won't be as
• 3:05:41
  much laughter on Sundays, that's for sure. Good afternoon. Tim
• 3:05:47
  Freeman, not a night, not a douche. Placerville, California. RIP,
• 3:05:52
  John. Sir Zulvat here and we hope that we're right
• 3:05:58
  back where we started at the meetup. First place we
• 3:06:02
  ever met up here in Sonoma County. We just hope
• 3:06:08
  that John C. Dvorak understands how much we loved him.
• 3:06:15
  Sir Robertson of Two Sticks here. Thanks for the memories,
• 3:06:17
  John. It was a pleasure to meet you on several
• 3:06:20
  occasions. Lydia of the Shire here on 888, the perfect
• 3:06:27
  day to send love and light to JCD. Rest in
• 3:06:33
  peace, JCD. Very nicely done. Really, yes. Then we have
• 3:06:40
  the Denver Love It, Love Is Lit JCD Memorial Meetup.
• 3:06:45
  It says, in the morning, Podfather kind of edited. Sorry
• 3:06:48
  about the background noise, sir Vito. I need some vino
• 3:06:55
  to be able to say sir Vito. And never worry
• 3:06:58
  about the background noise. There's nothing you can do when
• 3:07:00
  you go into a bar or wherever you're meeting. And
• 3:07:02
  if there's music, it doesn't matter. Hey, folks. Live out
• 3:07:08
  here in Denver City Park. Got the love is lit
• 3:07:12
  for JCD Memorial Meetup. Gonna pass the phone around. This
• 3:07:16
  is Elise. We're missing the Colorado Care Bear and Jim
• 3:07:21
  tonight. And we will miss you forever, JCD. This is
• 3:07:26
  Brian, also known as Sir Soothsayer. John, I'm going to
• 3:07:29
  miss you. I will for always remember you as the
• 3:07:32
  guy who always screamed, I get no spam. This is
• 3:07:36
  Colin. Missing you, John, and Club 33, and your squeaky
• 3:07:40
  chair in the morning. This is Sir European Stephen, as
• 3:07:45
  my neighbors call me Stephen. It's actually Stephan. But, yeah.
• 3:07:51
  ITM. Thank you, John, for your courage. This is very
• 3:07:56
  gringo. You're an inspiration for anybody who wants to get
• 3:07:59
  into entertainment. Keep it up. God bless. This is Sir
• 3:08:03
  Scott pouring one out to John, who kept myself and
• 3:08:06
  so many others from being a part of the six-week
• 3:08:08
  cycle. JCD, I love you. You changed my life. Stay
• 3:08:12
  safe in the next round. And yeah, he was an
• 3:08:15
  entertainer. Above and beyond comedic timing, had the wit. I
• 3:08:21
  would have gone to see J.C.D. do stand-up. That would
• 3:08:23
  have been... That would have been trippy. Very different style.
• 3:08:27
  Or you think it would be like Bobby Slayton, you
• 3:08:30
  know, just do the... No, I'm thinking him like Stephen
• 3:08:33
  Wright. More like that. Yeah, mixed with Miller maybe, you
• 3:08:35
  know? Yeah. Up next, the Snohomish Washington JCD Memorial Meetup.
• 3:08:44
  This tried to take out the silence. Oh, it's a
• 3:08:47
  little orgy. Thank you. No worry. Everybody's worried about the
• 3:08:50
  silence or the background noise. We just want to hear
• 3:08:53
  what was going on and how much fun you were
• 3:08:56
  having reminiscing about the late, great JCD. In the morning,
• 3:09:01
  this is Warrior News. Reaching out from the Snohomish medium
• 3:09:04
  that our wonderful Dame hosted, which is awesome. Thank you
• 3:09:06
  so much. And I'll pass the phone down. John, thanks
• 3:09:09
  for a lot of great years. I wasn't around for
• 3:09:10
  a lot of them, but the few of them that
• 3:09:11
  I was around for were definitely great. Adam, keep going.
• 3:09:14
  We appreciate you, man. And just Adam, Philippians 3.13. That's
• 3:09:19
  Philippians 3.13. And for John, some of the clips I'm
• 3:09:25
  going to remember are when he's really stoned. Hey, man.
• 3:09:31
  And also when he went to Mark Levin. And either
• 3:09:35
  way, cheers. Appreciate it. All right. ITM, everybody. Miss you,
• 3:09:39
  John. This is Joe in Snohomish. Thanks. Sir Benrose here.
• 3:09:43
  They finally got me out of the house. Whoa, whoa,
• 3:09:47
  whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, Benrose left the house? Can you
• 3:09:50
  imagine that? You've got to play this again. I've got
• 3:09:53
  to back this up. I did not know you had
• 3:09:56
  a Sir Benrose sighting at this meetup. Wow. And he
• 3:09:59
  was.
• 3:10:00
  very much like JCD's illegitimate child. I'm telling you. He
• 3:10:05
  was very much like JCD in a lot of ways.
• 3:10:09
  Sir Bemrose here. They finally got me out of the
• 3:10:11
  house. So this is me podcasting into some dude's phone.
• 3:10:15
  ITM. Teresa from St. Homish. We'll miss you, John. Good
• 3:10:18
  luck and Godspeed, JCD. Raise a glass of Kirkland Bordeaux
• 3:10:21
  when you get there for all of us. Sir Jack
• 3:10:23
  Ash here. Narcissist Sasquatch. Just remembering JCD on 8-8-20. Appreciate
• 3:10:31
  you. Appreciate everything you did. And yeah, Godspeed. This is
• 3:10:37
  Savannah Hernandez wrapping up the meetup. And we appreciate everything
• 3:10:42
  you guys do. And we're happy to meet everybody here
• 3:10:45
  in St. Thomas. Yeah, that sounds like a good time.
• 3:10:47
  It certainly does. And last but certainly not least on
• 3:10:52
  the meetups for this show, Central Jersey meetup on 8-8-2026.
• 3:10:57
  ITM with a U. We had another great meetup honoring
• 3:11:01
  JCD. The amazing thing is how everyone is so impacted
• 3:11:05
  by this loss. Darren and Larry are doing a great
• 3:11:08
  job. Well, thank you. Thank you. John can never be
• 3:11:12
  replaced. We agree. It was great hearing Adam's voice on
• 3:11:15
  Thursday's show. Thank you for your courage. Still devastated. Sir
• 3:11:21
  R. Daniels Viscount slash Commodore. This is Sir R. Daniels
• 3:11:29
  with pronouns Viscount and Commodore coming at you from the
• 3:11:32
  3BR Distillery in Keyport, New Jersey, where we are certainly
• 3:11:36
  in the morning with a U. This is Dave, RIP
• 3:11:41
  to the best part of twit. Thank you for giving
• 3:11:44
  us the courage to think. This is Bart, RIP JCD,
• 3:11:50
  and this is from New Jersey where we've had rigged
• 3:11:53
  elections for decades. This is Brian. John, we'll miss you,
• 3:11:58
  buddy. This is Jay. Missing John C. Dworak already in
• 3:12:06
  the morning. This is MKUltramark checking in from the Central
• 3:12:12
  New Jersey meetup and we are morning in the morning.
• 3:12:19
  This is Sir Nobody. Warning John and still confused that
• 3:12:23
  people have showed up at my bar to drink with
• 3:12:24
  me. In the morning, this is Dame She Fine. We're
• 3:12:29
  hydrating at 3BR and just remembering John and I'll never
• 3:12:33
  be able to do a Fistnuts again without thinking of
• 3:12:36
  John C. Hi, this is Alex. Thank you all for
• 3:12:42
  coming to my distillery. Hey, this is Sir Voip of
• 3:12:47
  the Jersey Shore. I lost two great voices in my
• 3:12:50
  life this year. John Sterling of the New York Yankees
• 3:12:53
  and now JCD. What an amazing bunch of meetup reports.
• 3:13:04
  Really? We know we'll have a bunch of them on
• 3:13:07
  the next show because there were a lot of the
• 3:13:10
  8-8 meetup reports. I mean, hey, if you can edit
• 3:13:12
  them, that's great, but... We're not judging you based upon
• 3:13:18
  sound quality here. No. And it's just beautiful to hear
• 3:13:22
  everybody remembering John. I mean, I don't know. It's always
• 3:13:26
  interesting when somebody like John passes, if he realized the
• 3:13:31
  impact that he had on people. Yeah. And he doesn't
• 3:13:36
  seem like he had a big ego or anything. No.
• 3:13:38
  I think he knew. Not at all. No. I think
• 3:13:40
  he might even be a little surprised by the massive
• 3:13:44
  amount of outpouring because he was everybody's, you know, uncle
• 3:13:49
  or father figure or somebody. It's like, I'd go to
• 3:13:52
  JCD for advice. Sure. And, of course, he always ripped
• 3:13:56
  my artwork on the show. And then in the emails,
• 3:14:01
  he was always so complimentary. I mean, although Adam was
• 3:14:05
  dissing me at the time you and I start doing
• 3:14:07
  shows, you're like, why is Adam mad at you? It's

  do it. And help us out. I mean, a couple

  of from CSB. Howdy, Irish Americans, Darren and Larry. I
• 3:20:44
  would like to tell two stories about John C. Dvorak.
• 3:20:48
  Story number 1 Many years ago, when Vorak was working
• 3:20:53
  for Mevio, and Adam Carey was his boss. I wanted
• 3:20:57
  to interview Dvorak for my podcast, which was about tech.
• 3:21:03
  The work didn't want to do it, so I contacted
• 3:21:07
  other. Kerry and Adam Kerry told Dvorak to do it
• 3:21:11
  and Dvorak did it. It was done over Skype. It
• 3:21:14
  was fun. Story number two. I was chatting with Vorack
• 3:21:19
  over direct messages on Twitter. and Vojak told me that
• 3:21:25
  his mother was born in Poland and she had Polish
• 3:21:29
  passport. And I told the VOAC to get Polish citizenship,
• 3:21:34
  which is equal to European Union citizenship, with freedom of
• 3:21:39
  movement to EU countries and after-clinics like Norway. and Switzerland.
• 3:21:45
  and Vorek was angry that I suggested it and he
• 3:21:48
  blocked me on Twitter for several years. These are two
• 3:21:53
  stories from me, ComicStribeBlogger. Thank you for your service. A
• 3:22:05

• 3:22:11

  I say, oh, but nothing like Hillary. So there's a
• 3:28:23
  lot of us in there. There's so many us. There's
• 3:28:25

  But I have the ringer. And so I'm going to
• 3:28:31
  ring the bell and we'll try to keep count. Ready?

• 3:28:56
  So I have a couple of Ask Adams today, which
• 3:29:00
  are nice features. Oh, yeah. I'd love to do an
• 3:29:02
  Ask Adam. Forget I even mentioned it. We don't want
• 3:29:05
  any of that. They're always meddling. We don't want that.
