John C Dvorak: Where's the joy?
Unknown: Adam curry.
John C Dvorak, it's Thursday, October
Adam Curry: 31 2024 this is your award winning give our nation
media assassination episode 1708,
Unknown: this is no agenda. We're voting
Adam Curry: early and broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region, number six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry and
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
saying, Bring back the whoopee cushion. I'm John C Dvorak
Bucha. In the morning,
Adam Curry: I don't think any of us are saying that at all. Yeah,
no one wants the whoopee cushion back. I still have one probably,
but they after a while, if you haven't used them for a while,
then the data work,
John C Dvorak: yeah,
Adam Curry: then the ends get frayed and it gets in splits and
doesn't doesn't vibrate well enough. Do the kids these days
even know what a whoopee cushion? No,
John C Dvorak: this is the reason it should be brought
back. It's one of the greatest gags in the world. It is a good
one. Kids find a whoopee cushion and learn how to use it
correctly.
Adam Curry: There must Oh, oh, hold on a second. What is the
correct way to use a whoopee cushion? John C Dvorak, expert,
of all things, you
John C Dvorak: you pull it a share for somebody. Say here you
can sit down. And it just says before they sit down, you toss
the whoopee cushion under them. So as they sit, they make the
farting sound and this, and everyone gets a huge laugh on
Adam Curry: it. Oh, see, I always thought you need to put
it under like a cushion the chair that has a cushion on it.
John C Dvorak: No, you want to throw it. You want to do it a
surprise attack.
Adam Curry: Hey, this is a parents this is a good one for
your kids. You know how parents love to terrorize their kids and
put it on Instagram? Believe me, it's a horrible thing. You know
what the latest is? The latest is the parent is in the bathroom
and calls the kid and says, Oh, I'm out of toilet paper. Come,
bring me some toilet paper. And these are four year olds. The
kid comes up, and then the parent, usually, the dad,
surprise, surprise has some chocolate, some melted chocolate
on his finger. And the,
John C Dvorak: I have not seen this joke, the
Adam Curry: kids are, you know, they're gagging, they're crying,
they're screaming. It's the meanest thing. I think you
should try it with Theodore. I don't think so. It's dying,
right?
John C Dvorak: It sounds funny, but it's like, yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Tina was showing me that, Oh, she got
banned again. She's banned again from posting for five days.
John C Dvorak: She should be banned, and so I said, obviously
she is a troublemaker.
Adam Curry: Well, she's not safe for the community, according to
the message.
John C Dvorak: I said, what community is this? Well, I
Adam Curry: said, What did you do? She says, I really don't
know. Said the last thing I did, and here comes Zara, which is a
clothing manufacturer. They had an ad, and the ad was, and this
happens all the time. The ad was for an item, and she's like, Oh,
I think I will, I will order this item. So the ads working.
She clicks, and it's like, not available, out of stock. And so
she says, Why are you doing this? This is deceptive
advertising. And then she got banned. She messed with the
primal forces of nature.
John C Dvorak: She made she messed with, this was a paid
Adam Curry: advertisement, yes, on the Instagram, yes.
John C Dvorak: She She condemned it, and then she got banned. To
Adam Curry: that, yeah, and then she got banned. So we presume
that's what. How
John C Dvorak: long is it gonna demand? For five days. Yeah, so
she'll be, yes, the shakes. She'll be up
Adam Curry: and running by Monday, just in time for
election. And everything took a beautiful turn. How do you like
my garbage stuff? It took a beautiful turn. Everybody's
John C Dvorak: we're gonna miss. This is this election comes to
fruition. It's going to be sorely missed. Yeah,
Adam Curry: this was just the sequence of events where we and
we'll get into the Hitler rally with the garbage comment, and
then Biden with the garbage comment, and then Trump taking
and running in with it, with the with with the garbage truck. I
mean, this morning in Fredericksburg, there are, there
are Maga houses with garbage bins outside.
John C Dvorak: I'm I'm under the impression that in New York City
there are random people wandering around with that, with
the garbage vest.
Adam Curry: I mean, why wouldn't you just go on Election Day and
put a garbage bag on? I mean, it's hilarious. It's hilarious
the garbage bag. I mean, the vest is one thing, but people
are putting garbage bags on their head as hats. I mean, it's
John C Dvorak: supposed to be a tonight's true. Be it's supposed
to be used a lot for the Halloween
Adam Curry: costume. And you know, this whole episode reminds
me of what we used to be like in America. We used to be funny. We
had fun with stuff. We weren't all butthurt over comments all
the time. I mean, this started during the course of the show,
maybe 15 years ago. Whoa, bullying. And bullying was a
hate speech. Bullying hate speech. Yeah, it was bullying,
the hate speech, and then canceling and cultural
appropriation. And, I mean, Halloween, oh man, what can you
even dress as anymore? What can you dress as? You can't dress as
a as a Mexican, you can't dress as a cowboy or an Indian. You
can't you can't dress up as anything anymore. Now a garbage
man is a is great. So I'm really happy that this is happening.
And well, I see you have, you actually have a very good
version of the Biden garbage comment, which was hard to find,
audio wise and length wise. Can I play that? Yes,
John C Dvorak: this is by this would trigger the whole thing.
Let's see a little background for anyone out there who kind of
missed this. I don't know how you anyone
Adam Curry: living under a garbage can is, is that,
John C Dvorak: just before came I gave her final and definitive
speech on the lawn of the Washington DC, the ellipse, or
whatever it's called, uh, Biden, for some reason, this is the
thing I have the questions about this, by the way, Biden goes on
Zoom, and I don't know who it was, never explained, who He's
talking to on Zoom, no,
Adam Curry: or how he was, how this video got out,
John C Dvorak: oh, how the video got but, but it was Jean Pierre.
Claude Van Dam is the one who put him on Zoom, it turns out,
uh huh. And so there's something screwy about that. But we don't
know who he was talking to yet, or why, and why. It was just
before Kamala speech. It was sabotage. I believe so too.
Yeah, it was saboteur. And a lot of we're seeing a lot of
sabotage. We're seeing some, I think there's also Roger Stone
stuff going on.
Adam Curry: He's still breathing. Well, yeah, well,
he's
John C Dvorak: a dirty tricks guy, and he knows how to do
stuff like this and and so Biden comes in. He ended this follows
the Madison Square Garden event where the comedian who, you
know, is a famous podcaster. What's his name? Tony
Unknown: Hinchcliffe. Hinchcliffe,
John C Dvorak: he he's a Insult Comic type of guy. And he's also
does roasts,
Adam Curry: yeah, well, kill Tony, the kill Tony. He has the
kill Tony podcast, which is kind of interview format, but then he
also has this stage show, which I think is on four, four shows a
week at Joe's Comedy Club. And he lets new comics come up. They
get to do one minute of bit, and then they have a panel, and they
just slaughter whoever's up there. So that's kind, that's
kind of the roasting part. But he's really a cultural Insult
Comic, particularly during COVID. He was just, you know,
saying the Chinese suck, and they can't, you know, the whole
thing that's, that's his, it's not, but some of its really
funny. Most was like, okay, but
John C Dvorak: it was very, I thought his stuff was good. He
had good joke that he did, a joke that the Democrats tried to
jump on, which was that he says, Well, you know, there's a big,
you know, we've heard about this big island of garbage in the in
the ocean. He says, it turns out to be Puerto Rico,
Adam Curry: yeah, and by the way, he is, he has sold out
Madison Square Garden three times himself for a solo show.
John C Dvorak: So they've, they've marginalized the guy as
some crazy comic. But I guess, as you point out, he's not a
marginal character, but, but the Puerto Rican thing, they tried
to make hay with that. And so it didn't. It didn't go anywhere,
really, and but it became kind of a topic conversation, until
Joe Biden comes on the air, on this zoom call, and it gets
distributed all over the place for some again, unknown, unknown
reason, unknown biases, unknown discussion we don't know
anything about, but it was Biden, and he said the
following,
Unknown: just the other day, a speaker at his rally called
Puerto Rico, a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell
you something. I don't I don't know the Puerto Rican that I
know, or Puerto Rico, where I'm in my home state of Delaware,
they're going from honorable people. The only garbage I see
floating out there is his supporters. So
John C Dvorak: by the way, he almost said where I'm from,
yeah,
Adam Curry: where he went to school. I went to school with
Puerto Ricans. So Scott. Adams did something very interesting,
and I believe he is correct, although the Sabbath, you are
correct about the sabotage. And I'm about to explain this with
these three clips. So Scott Adams, he says this is really a
very fine people thing on the Biden side. Now I'm just going
to play it again. The last bit here, so we all are clearly
here. What Biden said?
Unknown: The only garbage I see floating out there is his
supporters. Okay, the only
Adam Curry: garbage that I see floating out here is his
supporters. Here's what Scott Adams said.
Unknown: This story is total bullshit. He didn't say that. He
didn't say that. What? Let me tell you what I said,
the supporters. The word supporters, if you thought the
supporters was a positive Yes, then what it means is the only
garbage I see floating out there is coming from his supporters,
meaning the things they say about Puerto Rico, the only
garbage is something that belongs to his supporters,
possessive s now
Adam Curry: listen to it again.
Unknown: The only garbage I see floating out there is his
supporters. So
Adam Curry: I'm not I think Scott has a very good point
here. Were it not that Karine Jean, Pierre, Abdul Jabbar did
not explain it as a possessive. She explained it differently. So
Unknown: just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters
garbage, which is why he put out this is why he wanted to make
sure that we put out a statement that clarified what he meant and
what he was trying to say. And so just want to make that very
clear for folks who are watching. And I'll and I just
want to read that out to folks. So he was regarding to the
comedian. So
Adam Curry: he was not saying this regarding to the comedian.
In fact, he very clearly says supporters, plural, with an s1
more time.
Unknown: Garbage I see floating out there is just supporters.
Adam Curry: It's about the s. Now, curry Jean Pierre is either
so desperate or in such a destructive and I think you're
right, sabotage mode, that she even got a stooge of the press
corps. I have not been able to figure out who it was. It's, you
know, seeing, so that's do. See, no, it's not do. See, definitely
is not, no, it's not do. See, got a stooge from the press
corps to ask, to set her up with a question and explicitly say,
support her, not ask, not supporters, but support her to,
uh, legitimize and give her the alley oop for her. Oh, no, that
was about the comedian. Listen to this setup, which is really
from a I mean, this is not a press corps. This is a
propaganda corps.
Unknown: Can you just address the President's comments
yesterday referring to Trump supporter as garbage? Did
Adam Curry: you hear him say supporter? Even, even even vocal
fries that a little bit supporter
Unknown: Trump, supporter, supporter, garbage. And I know
he's trying to clarify that. He's trying to talk about what
the person said, but one I guess I want to know, does he think
less of Americans who support Trump than he does of those who
do not. And two, why is he using that kind of rhetoric? How is
that presidential?
Adam Curry: How about that setup? Question is, I mean, is
this a moron, or is this someone who's a shield in the audience?
So is he usually not to say something bad about Trump
supporter for
Unknown: a couple of things, couple of things. So, couple
things, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is why
he put out. This is why he wanted to make sure that we put
out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was
trying to say. And so just want to make that very clear for
folks who are watching. And I'll and I just want to read that out
to folks. So he was regarding to the comedian, and I quote, I
refer to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by
Trump's supporter. Supporter.
Adam Curry: Oh, now it's supporter, because he set it up.
This is, this is a sad setup, but
Unknown: Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison
Square Garden rally as garbage, which is the only word I can
think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is
unconscionable. That's all I meant to say. The comments, the
comments at the rally, don't reflect who we are as a nation,
not who
Adam Curry: we are. So even this could Scott Adams could pull
this apart and say, no, no, it's about the supporter, because she
left off the apostrophe s the bottom line, who cares? It's
America. It's hilarious. Listen,
John C Dvorak: I have to add to this.
Adam Curry: You need to change your speakers now, just a little
bit. I can't you keep cracking through the gate. Just
Unknown: a little
Adam Curry: bit. What do you need? Just your speakers down a
little bit, just a tad.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, just
Adam Curry: a little bit. You were jamming to Darren. Oh,
that's what was happening there. Oh
John C Dvorak: yeah. That was it. So I was told, tapping my
toe, actually, yeah. And couple of First of all, we heard what
we heard. So Scott, I know why Scott's doing this, and I don't
know why this is possibly because they just own it,
because he
Adam Curry: wants, he wants to be controversial and get people
to think he's awesome.
John C Dvorak: His the sentence that followed what he said with
no edits, is what, what, what Biden said. I don't have a clip
of it. I It is out there, though, immediately after what
he said, right at the end of He says his demonization is
unconscionable. Now, is he talking about the comedian, or
about Trump, or about Trump? We know what he's talking about.
And we know, we know Joe Biden. If you're going to be calling
everybody a Nazi, a fascist, a misogynist, you go on and on and
on, and now
Adam Curry: he's Mr. Nice Guy.
John C Dvorak: I mean, so give me a break. All this is
nonsense, and if anybody's going to nobody's going to buy it, and
nobody's going to buy Scott's analysis, this was obvious what
he meant, and he did it on purpose. And I think he may have
subconsciously done it to sabotage the campaign, because
he subconsciously hates the idea that he's not running because he
knows he'd be doing better than Kamala is doing well
Adam Curry: in in Grand American tradition, which is somehow the
opposite of a dean scream. I don't know how he does it,
Trump, just and, and this sounds like, this has a whole, feel
like it's from his mind. Oh, get me a garbage truck. This is a
great idea. Maybe he's,
John C Dvorak: yeah, you do. I have the explanation of how this
came about. Let
Adam Curry: me play this quickly, and then I want to hear
explanation clip while former
Unknown: President Trump holds dueling campaign events in those
same battlegrounds, speaking in North Carolina earlier,
responding to President Biden's comments on Puerto Rico,
insisting Biden called Trump supporters garbage, though the
White House says that's not what he meant. Joe
Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our
supporters. He called them garbage
and they mean it today, ahead of his rally in Green Bay,
Wisconsin, Trump in a garbage truck.
I like my garbage truck. This truck is in honor of Kamala and
Joe Biden. Both
candidates will then head west tomorrow, with Trump expected at
a rally in New Mexico and Nevada. So
Adam Curry: the Hill Country Christian nationalists are all
emailing Psalm two, verse four around today, he who sits in
heaven laughs The Lord holds them in derision. It is. It has
ignited everybody with with glee and humor.
John C Dvorak: It's really that's great. Everybody loves
this, yes.
Unknown: How did Trump come about?
John C Dvorak: So Trump did the topper. There's a two part. It
is the two Trump clips I have. He's in Green Bay wearing the
vest
Unknown: vest. So
Adam Curry: he's wearing, it needs to be a dirtied up a
little bit, needed a little, you know, like a half a banana peel
or something. It was a little too clean. Well, I
John C Dvorak: don't think you have to go that far, but I'll
say this, the vest he's wearing is not the vest you wore on the
truck. Oh, well, okay, okay, change the vest.
Adam Curry: The Hardy Boys have figured something
John C Dvorak: different vest, but that's okay. So he does. He
does. He talks about how this came about. Oh, and I and it
turns into a new bit. This was five minutes, so I had to cut it
in half and take some some of the long applause lines out. But
this is part one of his explanation outfit. You
Unknown: know is when they when he called us all garbage. How
stupid. What a stupid word. That blows deplorable away. Don't you
think? Of course, I thought irredeemable. When she said
deplorable or irredeemable, I thought irredeemable was
actually worse, but deplorable seemed to catch up. But this
garbage stuff blows blows it away. So I'm in this beautiful
plane. I'm enjoying myself. Have a wonderful suit on beautiful
plane.
I and one of my people came in and said, Sir, you know the word
garbage is the hottest thing right now out there, the hottest
thing out there, sir, would you like to drive a garbage truck?
I. Yeah, we're about, you know, 30 minutes from landing. We had
to do this pretty quick. I said, it's sort of cool though, isn't
it? Because, you know? And I said, you know, I think that's
okay, but, you know, I don't feel comfortable wearing a suit.
And they pulled up this garbage truck. I don't know how the hell
they did it so fast. I have very capable people. They put a big
sign on the truck. Did you see it? I think they changed. And
then they said, Sir, we have a vest. I said, Well, should I
leave my suit on and put it over the vest? But that doesn't look
very good, right? That doesn't look good. So I said, I look,
let me take it off. And then I actually said I climbed into the
truck, but here, so I said, How the hell do you get into the
truck? It's way up high. This was a beauty. I said, You didn't
have to buy it that big, right? You have to get it that big.
They brought this brand new, gorgeous truck, wonderful
driver. It looked like Cary Grant in his prime driver, and
he drove that big thing up. And I said, Man, this is bad,
because now I have all the cameras. Are all what look at,
all the fake news. They were most of them.
Adam Curry: He did have to do a little hoisting to get himself
in. I noticed. I mean, he pulled it off. He pulled it off,
John C Dvorak: yeah, well, he continues with the story. Now,
Unknown: most of them, many of them were there, and I'm saying,
oh boy. You know, one little mistake with these guys in your
political career is over. You can't even so I said, Man, if I
don't get up there, this is going to be very embarrassing.
These stupid people, they'll say he's cognitively and physically
impaired. And I can't do that when I'm alongside of this great
athlete, I got to get up to that so, so look, so the stair, the
first stairs, like, up here, I'm saying shit. So I had the
adrenaline going, and I made it. I made it. And then I gave a
little news conference from the front of the you know, they
asked their wise guy questions and everything. And then we
drove about two feet, I got out, and then I got in the car, and
I'm driving over here, and I have this still on, and I come
into the arena, and I say, Where's my jacket? I want to get
out of this stage. And they said, it would be unbelievable
if you could wear it on stage. And I said, No way. I got 25,000
people standing outside. I got all these people here. There's
no way I'm wearing it on stage. They said, Oh, okay, sir. I
said, Get me my jacket. But if you did, you know it actually
makes you look thinner, I said, and they got me. I said, I want
to wear it on stage. When they said I look thinner, I said, in
that case, I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go, I
may go in this I said that that was my that was the Word, that
was the key so you look thinner. So anyway, so we had a little
fun about a very serious subject. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that I'm actually laughing about his stick here
that is self deprecating a lot more than he did in 2016 or 2020
John C Dvorak: for that matter. Yeah, and that works. That whole
bit is very endearing. So by the way, you know that that's funny,
that getting into that truck because, because Brune I got,
Brunetti, has a fire truck that's similar to that garbage
truck in terms of getting into it.
Adam Curry: That's the one you crashed into the fence. I never
crashed into
John C Dvorak: the fence. But you, you have, you have to
actually be shown how to get into it, because you just this
you look at it is, why do you get into this thing? It's a very
similar you have to, and if you watch Trump get into it. You see
that part of the mechanism is grabbing a hole of a couple of
grips that you have to know where they are, and you have to
pull yourself in. Well, what's
Adam Curry: happening here with this? You know, a typical retail
politician move as you go to the to the rodeo, to the county
fair, you eat the stupid corn dog, you know, you pretend you
like the burger,
John C Dvorak: yeah, and they take a picture of you sucking in
a giant corn dog,
Adam Curry: and you got, you gotta have your shirt sleeves
rolled up and your jacket off, which is all phony, but this is
just, this is such an obvious one. It makes so much, by the
way, also looks like an like an airport Marshall, or with the
jacket on, it looks like a construction worker. I mean,
people identify with that vest. So it, I think that will go down
as just a brilliant move. I want to go back, though, because this
all started, and it was, it was, I mean, I didn't clip my hate,
listen, but I, I'm telling you, Kara and Scott were like, This
is the October surprise. Now we can get all the. Puerto Ricans
to vote for Kamala. And these people are so insanely stupid. I
mean, and just and jitty about
John C Dvorak: the October surprise, was the comic? Yes,
that was
Adam Curry: the October surprise. Yes, there was even
some stories like it was people were emailing me. It was a
setup, right? It was a setup, right? He was a setup for him to
do that. What are you talking about? I'm gonna go to NPR
first, because they summarize the Madison Square rally as
you'd expect them to former President
Unknown: Trump was in New York holding a rally at Madison
Square Garden, and one of the speakers described Harris as
quote, the anti christ. That was one of many insults and
grievances as Trump made his final appeal to the nation NPR
political
correspondent Daniel Kurtz Laban was in the arena. Daniel, good
morning. Hey. Good morning. Good morning. What was it like?
Well, it was a Trump rally, but it was dialed way up in
intensity. It started with more than four hours of guest
speakers, and the first guest of the night set what was a pretty
vitriolic tone. Comedian and podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe joked
that Puerto Rico is, quote, a floating island of garbage. He
also said the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey quote
might be the next O J Simpson Kelsey, of course, is dating
Harris supporter Taylor Swift. So what we have here seems to be
a joke about killing one of the most famous women in the world,
and it just went from there. One speaker seemed to imply that
Harris is a prostitute. Tucker Carlson made fun of Harris being
biracial. He also called her low IQ. Later in his speech, Carlson
nodded to the racist great replacement theory. So just
overall, a really inflammatory night, given
that Republicans are trying to appeal to all kinds of people,
this doesn't sound like a unifying message. Big mistake.
No, that matters. I mean, consider the gender gap in this
election. Polls show Trump is ahead with men that he's well
behind with women. Well, when one of his openers jokes about
Taylor Swift being killed by her boyfriend, that arguably isn't a
winning message for those women voters. Wow.
Adam Curry: What a way to explain a joke. I need to say
something about hitch Cliff for a moment, as I because I watched
it, you know, by saw him. I saw most of those in real time. And
as I'm watching him, who and his whole message was free speech,
freedom of speech and being able to say what you want, and not
everybody getting so butthurt. We happen to be re watching all
of Seinfeld, starting at episode one, which, by the way, Kramer
was called Kessler in episode one, oddly, and episode two, he
was Kramer. And you know, so Jerry Seinfeld. If you've never
seen the show, he does, you know, it's opens with some stand
up of his, where he kind of sets up with his observational humor,
sets up the episode, and then he comes back about three quarters
of the way through, and then sometimes at the end, and I'm
just thinking to myself, I remember what it was like in New
York in the 80s. You had the comedy cellar and all these
other places, and all of these comics would come onto MTV, and
you know, Gilbert Gottfried, Judy tenuta AND ELMO Gosh,
John C Dvorak: to new to yeah,
Adam Curry: oh yeah, they would do VJ segments, and, you know,
and obviously, from time to time, hey, come by the club and
see my set tonight. And they would do, you know, this kind of
stand up that Tony hitch cliff is doing. And it was like no one
was butthurt. You might get booed or heckled, but it wasn't
like people were ready to go beat you up and call you a Nazi.
And I mean the Taylor Swift OJ joke was pretty funny in
context, so we just lost that with the bullying and school and
the hate speech and all this stuff. And somehow it came back,
and hitchcliffe, along with others, is kind of making it
okay to do that again, without everybody getting all off kilter
about it. Now this nats Nazi rally comparison 1939 this
started with Atlantic magazine. It started with an article by, I
forget who it is in Atlantic magazine, which I can't read
because it's behind a paywall, but all right, I guess NPR and
all the hoity toity people read it, and so they all went, oh
yeah, oh yeah, that's right. It's a 1939 Nazi rally. And I
just happened to come across this clip. Is
John C Dvorak: that the article that said that equated Trump
with Hitler Stalin again? Yes. Oh, you well, you know who the
writer was,
Unknown: hit me and Apple
Adam Curry: ball? Oh, of course. And we know who owns the
Atlantic. Laureen Powell Jobs, Lorraine,
John C Dvorak: Lorraine,
Adam Curry: Lorraine Powell Jobs,
I happen to have a short clip here of an interview that she
did on recode, which is was Kara Swisher conference sitting on
stage. It's Lauren Powell Jobs and Kamala Harris. How
coincidental is that? And it's about why she bought Atlantic
magazine.
Unknown: It was pretty awesome. Obvious to me that we could
build we, yeah, we.
Adam Curry: By the way, she's really pretty in this interview.
You know, over time, I think she's gotten ugly because of the
inside she's like, Ah,
John C Dvorak: I agree with you 100% on purpose, that's
Adam Curry: all right, but she was pretty during this
interview. Like, wow. She was stunning, and she became
unpretty.
Unknown: It was pretty obvious to me that we could build, we,
you know, we, we build out in a very cross disciplinary way our
work, you know, capital investing and policy and
philanthropy, and we could do this work forever and ever, and
we could have the narrative overtaken by by someone who's
who has a lot of power, who's completely contrary to us, and
we could never get to the place where we think we're part of a
more just and equal society. And so it was obvious that if we
could be part of the the creation of cultural narrative
that would, that would enhance and amplify all the work that
we're doing, which is
Hillary Clinton talked about today, is telling the story,
getting the content out there. Yeah, she was yes, yeah, yeah.
These are, these are early days for us, but that's that's the
idea behind it. We want to inspire the kind of stories that
we'd like to see told.
Do you ever see you buying something bigger, like the New
York Times, for example? Is it for sale? It could be for you.
Adam Curry: So there it is. She bought it with her philanthropy
and with her investments and with her contacts to set
cultural narrative and an apple bomb. I'm sure they're all
hanging out at the tea table. And there's, hey, I know what
you got. I got a great idea, Lauren. I got a great idea. So
then the mainstream, the M, 5m comes into into play. They've
all got the memo. They've all got the message, yep, this is it
night we we played somewhat on the last episode is it was
insane. The comparisons before the rally even took place,
before it even took place, it was all just everyone off, off
the hook. And I mean seriously, and
John C Dvorak: I have not even really the same venue. It's
called the same thing. But the Madison Square Gardens of today
was actually opened in 1968 Oh, that's interesting. The other
No, that place was not even, it was not even there now someplace
else, which makes it funnier now. So
Adam Curry: I have a series of NPR clips that are just, I have
to play that, because they're not to be believed. But I need
to start with, you know, Morning Joe. They've, they've been all
over this. They've been saying he's Hitler Since 2015 but then
Mika, it shows up on the view and and she and she has a
rehearsed bit, which is just, I mean, she's a mental patient.
Mental Mika was pathetic. Oh, you've seen this. Oh, yeah,
Unknown: I think it was everything that you need to know
about Donald Trump in one weird white nationalist Nazi type
rally. And of course, there's historic parallels to where and
when the cards. But even more so, it also points out
everything that we know, but it's important to act on right
now, because this is the moment, and we won't have it again.
Nobody gets a pass. Trashing America, Puerto Rican Americans.
Nobody gets a pass, degrading people. This
Adam Curry: is so I'm sure Joe was like Mika, this is your
nobody gets a pass speech. It's It's beautiful. It's beautiful,
baby. You go do it on the view. Nobody
Unknown: gets a pass. Degrading legal mind migrants and
terrorizing people. Nobody gets a pass threatening his enemies
with using the military against against them. Nobody gets a pass
on inciting an insurrection. Nobody gets a pass on saying he
fancies Hitler and wants to have generals like his
John C Dvorak: pretty fancy Hitler. For those
Adam Curry: who don't know, Mika is Mika Brzezinski, daughter of
famous Brzezinski, who was probably one of the biggest war
mongers in our in our history, Afghan he's a
John C Dvorak: foreign policy wonk that worked under the
Carter administration and others, and was definitely a he
was from Eastern Europe, and he hated the Russians, and he
everything. He was just plotting against them, trying to get the
US government he really would love to have seen world war
three.
Unknown: Nobody gets a pass on insulting veterans and saying
those who have died for our country.
Adam Curry: I think she missed the very fine people, but she
had everything else are suckers
Unknown: and losers, except for convicted felon Donald Trump.
You all have set it up, but let me take it a step further,
please. You may this is called normalization.
Adam Curry: Remember this word normalization? It's very
dangerous. Is, this is called, this is John. In case you didn't
know, this is called normalization. This
Unknown: is called normalization. Yes, this is the
descent into fascism, if we so choose normalizing January 6.
It's a day of love. It's a day of love. I'll say it again and
again and again. Normalizing enemy from within. I'll say it
again and again. I'll say it again and again until you get
tired of it, until it's not so funny anymore, or you think he
doesn't mean it, until you realize he does mean it, and
it's too late.
Adam Curry: Now wait now, she's kind of winded up by talking
about herself and her poor parents, her poor parents, the
evil chess master himself, Brzezinski,
Unknown: these strict abortion bans, oh no, are a beautiful
thing. Are you kidding me? We got to wake up. And here's the
good news, because I come with such warnings, and I mean them
from the bottom of my heart, as a daughter of refugees who came
here escaping war,
Adam Curry: to go and try and start more war.
Unknown: Came here for America to be a part of a democracy,
yes, to be a part of building something beautiful where they
could be free and kill other people. I'm telling you, the
good news is that I believe women will be the beacon in this
election.
Adam Curry: Women will be the beacon in this election. Okay,
so, my God, it went on from two more minutes and she's almost
crying. Now she's a terrible person. Yes, she is. So now NPR
and this, I mean, this just blew me away. I have the setup clip
is, is a little long. The rest are quite short. So on the
media, on the media. Brooke Brooke Gladstone, on the media.
Brooke Gladstone, she had Jason Stanley on the show, and he she
will introduce his credits in a moment. But I did not want to
withhold the setup. Pay attention to the music. Someone
should get a should get some kind of award for the music with
her, her opening about this horrible, horrible man of Hitler
on
Unknown: Sunday, Donald Trump hosted a rally at Madison Square
Garden in New York, prompting critics to compare the event to
another one in the same place many years
Adam Curry: was not the same place. Fake News. Fact check,
Unknown: false. In 1939 more than 20,000 supporters of a
different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the garden for a
so called Pro America rally. Remind
Adam Curry: you, this is NPR, your National Public Radio
John C Dvorak: use the word the usage is here, a different
fascist leader. Oh, yeah,
Adam Curry: it's too delicious, implying,
John C Dvorak: of course, that Trump is a fascist leader.
Adam Curry: Oh, they're going to straight up say it. Don't
Unknown: worry. Packed the garden for a so called Pro
America rally, a rally where speakers voiced anti semitic
rhetoric from a stage draped with Nazi banners. Those
speeches in New York drew chilling attention to the ways
in which American policy had inspired the furor American
lawmakers, generations ago, promulgated laws for beating
intermarriage.
Adam Curry: I love this. So the set your tone, they bring out
this old speech, you know, like these are American Nazis. Oh,
no, green,
Unknown: white and black, yellow, brown and red.
Inhabitants, it has then always
John C Dvorak: been very What guy sounds Irish? Ain't mine.
Big
Unknown: Bucha, American. Wherever a race problem became
acute to instinctively attempt to create legislation designed
to protect the Aryan character of this nation,
a night's rally at the garden Trump and his allies, untempered
and Unbound, traded in racist tropes, untempered and unbound
nationalistic rhetoric to an eager crowd warmed up by the
Insult Comic Tony Hinchcliffe. I
don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a
floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right
now.
Yeah, I
think it's called Puerto Rico.
The lineup included Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, RFK Junior,
Rudy Giuliani and the resolution Stephen Miller, America
is for Americans and Americans only. Then, of
course, the main attraction the
United States is now an occupied country, but it will soon be an
occupied country no longer not going to be happening, not going
to be happening,
Adam Curry: okay, so and just everything is a beautiful setup.
So now she brings in the professor. They always bring in
these professors that,
John C Dvorak: by the way, where you're playing is absolutely
shameful. Oh,
Adam Curry: you. We're only getting started. She brings in a
professor, uh.
John C Dvorak: People, by the way, people who send their money
to NPR should be sending it to us
Adam Curry: just just Yes. So Jason Stanley is going to
introduce some new concepts to us, some new terms, and he is
going to explain the fascism of Trump, and His credits will be
mentioned in the intro here.
Unknown: In the past few weeks, there seemed to come a tipping
point where Trump's speeches became increasingly specific
about the vengeance he'd wreak against his enemies, and even
those who had hesitated
John C Dvorak: were now listen to the music. The music is
terrible
Unknown: against his enemies. And even those who had hesitated
were now applying the word fascist, fascist go peas
nominee,
Adam Curry: even those who hesitated on
Unknown: last week's show, we aired an interview with Jason
Stanley, a professor of philosophy at Yale University
who has used the F word to describe Trump, early and often,
Professor
Adam Curry: of Philosophy. Now, what, what does a does a
professor of philosophy? Is he that an expert in fascism?
John C Dvorak: Well, that is a funny thing. You should ask that
because of fascism, was a kind of philosophically bound to
certain philosophers. Well, I think you could it's a stretch,
but not a bad one.
Adam Curry: Let's listen to the good professor Trump. Early
Unknown: and often,
I've been sort of involved in the, let's call it fascism wars,
since my 2018 book, when I talked about how much the
rhetoric we're seeing is just very clearly fascist rhetoric.
So
Trump's been called authoritarian, dangerous for
democracy for a long time. What has he done or said or implied
that advances him from a threat to democracy to a fascist?
I think
focusing on Trump is a mistake, because it's really the whole
fascist social and political movement, and that's why the
history of the United States is so vital. Rather than looking at
Europe, where we did have figures like Mussolini and
Hitler, we need to look at the whole structure. For example,
Langston Hughes in 1937 said black Americans don't need to be
told about fascism. It's just a European word for Jim Crow. But
now we have a much more European structure with a fascist leader
of a fascist social and political movement, kind of
Christian fascism? Here,
there we go.
John C Dvorak: We have another atheist, Christian fascism.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's good. What are the stepping stones? What
are
Unknown: the stepping stones? What is happening now that so
alarms you? Well,
you're looking at the targets of fascism, immigrants, LGBTQ
people, which were central targets of the Nazi Party.
Gender fluidity is an enemy of fascism, because Fascism is
about making sure the dominant group remains numerically the
largest group, and women are there to bear children. So the
idea of trans women is antithetical to the central role
the identity of women in fascist ideology on the federal party.
Isn't this great?
John C Dvorak: Is this guy just making it up as he's going
along? No, gender ideology is somehow now tied up in this
whole thing.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah, you can't have trans women because guy is
basically
John C Dvorak: a genderist. Well,
Unknown: see in Project 2025 and elsewhere, Trump has been clear
that they want funding from school districts unless they use
immutable gender categories, so all children born male must be
referred to with male pronouns. Oh,
Adam Curry: the human pronouns. Oh, the humanity and of course,
you know this proof that this is happening. I mean, just take a
look at it, and we're
Unknown: already seeing that here. The Supreme Court has been
altered. So it's just a vehicle for far right policy at this
point, and for Trump,
Adam Curry: oh, it's been altered. By the way, Democrat
senators also voted for the Supreme Court justices. We seem
to forget that. It's like Trump just said, Get in there. Get in
there.
John C Dvorak: Now. Now bad news hasn't been altered any more so
than it's ever been altered by changing justices. When one
quits, another one gets put in
Adam Curry: now we go to the normalization bit.
Unknown: This is a 911, call those who are refusing the label
of fascism, are normalizing what we're seeing. Do
Adam Curry: you hear a narrative here, this normalization? He got
the memo. You got the memo. Are normalizing
Unknown: what we're seeing because impact of saying this is
not fascism, that impact. On listeners, is okay, we really
don't need to worry much. This is politics as usual. This is
not politics as usual. That's not to say that these forces
haven't always been here in the United States. There's another
way of looking at it, just where this is sort of a victory of
whatever the Jim Crow South has transformed into, and I think
there's widespread agreement that this is the federalizing of
what's happening in states like Texas now, in the black American
tradition, you call those forces racial fascism.
Adam Curry: Racial fascism. I don't know what I am now. I'm a
racial Christian, nationalist fascist.
John C Dvorak: You know these guys in this Jim Crow meme.
Nobody knows what they're talking about. This is elitist
bull crap. Well,
Adam Curry: it's NPR, elitist voices. Okay. Why are people
voting for Trump? I mean, if he's so fascist, this is not
good. So
Unknown: let's consider why people vote for Trump. Some say
it's because he'll solve structural problems within
American democracy. Do you think that people who vote for Trump
do it because of or despite his fascist leanings?
There's a large level.
John C Dvorak: What a leading question. Great, are you still
beating your wife? Come on. Yes or No, are you still beating
your wife? Yes or No, his
Unknown: fascist leanings.
There is a large literature on what makes people vote for
authoritarians or strong men and Ruth bend, the authoritarian
personality. Work by Adorno and co authors published nearly
1950s Oh, he's got facts, John, I'm a little intimidated all
about this, the authoritarian personality being someone who
leans towards voting for fascist leaders. They even came up with
something called the F scale, fascism scale for measuring
this. And the features are things like being raised in a
patriarchal family, because patriarchy is very central for
fascism. And the whole idea of
Adam Curry: if you're raised in a patriarchal family, ie you got
a dad, you got a mom, then you're pretty much on track to
be a fascist. Is that what I'm hearing
John C Dvorak: Yes, exactly.
Unknown: Because patriarchy is very central for fascism, and
the whole idea of decline is connected with feminism.
My country goes downhill if women stop having babies and
start taking leadership roles, though,
Adam Curry: that, of course, we can't have women in leadership
roles. I got it now this is,
John C Dvorak: by the way, before I forget. This is leading
to the bonus clip. Oh, good, good. I
Adam Curry: have the bonus clip. I'm almost done. A couple, I'm
almost done. These
John C Dvorak: are sure. Keep going. These are short. I'm
enjoying this, believe me. Okay, so this guy, who is obviously a
genderist, yeah, who is, uh, is gay, there's no question, and
gay atheist, and he's setting back the gay uh, agenda.
Adam Curry: He's a gay theist.
John C Dvorak: He's a gay theist.
Adam Curry: Gay, I think atheist. Atheist is an
interesting, interesting show title, so, but it's really, it's
not just Trump. I mean, this is gonna roll everybody up in here
and and Brooke has a very interesting observation here
about democracy. You know, now we just to remind everybody, we
live in a constitutional republic. We have representative
government, but, oh, our democracy, our democracy. And
she's actually going to explain what she believes democracy is a
very short clip.
Unknown: I mean, that's why we have to recognize that this
isn't just about Trump. This is a social and political movement
of Christo fascism, if you will. And libertarians. Is
Adam Curry: it? What is Christo fascism? Christian
Unknown: croque and libertarians who want the government liberty,
John C Dvorak: or fascists, Libertarians of all the people
that call fascists libertarians and libertarians
Unknown: who want the government to be essentially eliminated so
they can have full power and not be constrained by essentially
working class Americans. So they don't want,
John C Dvorak: they want. So now they're eight, they're they're
one of those government Hey, anarchist, anarchist. Somehow,
libertarians are anarchists, is what he said.
Adam Curry: Now, Brooke is going to expand on this very short so
just listen 18 seconds, what democracy really is working
class
Unknown: Americans
so they don't have to share. I mean, isn't that what it's
about? Yes, it's
about sharing, because democracy is about sharing.
Adam Curry: What democracy is about sharing? John, listen,
it's about this
John C Dvorak: is the this is the real, the basic breakdown
between the left and the right, which is one side, once
communal. It's communist. Is they want socialism and they
want government control, which is forced sharing. You're forced
to share. Here. Give me your money. I'm going to give it to
this guy, as opposed to self help, which is the other side of
the equation. Here we go.
Unknown: It's about sharing, because democracy is about
sharing. Democracy is the idea that it's our country together
and we work together to have public goods like public
schools, which are under attack by this social and political
movement
John C Dvorak: our Biden mcfrie. And by the way, there is nothing
about democracy and public schools. There's no connection.
I don't get this.
Adam Curry: Well, no, there is the if you listen to the whole
interview he talks about, you know, how incredibly important
it is that we keep the Department of Education so it
can continue to indoctrinate the children into sharing, into the
concept of democracy sharing. I mean, this is, this is very
infantile speak, but it's, it's propaganda. Democracy is about
sharing. Don't you want to share? Jimmy, come on, Johnny,
don't you want to share with Adam, we share, and we all like
to work together. Then we work according to what we can do, and
we all have equal outcomes. It sounds fantastic, yes, according
John C Dvorak: to his needs. There you go Marx from each
according to his abilities, that is not democracy, that is
communism. Yes,
Adam Curry: two more here. Now, of course, he doesn't mention
podcasts, but it's kind of in here. But it's really, it's
really the media. I mean, it's, it's especially local radio and
I mean just radio. I mean, it's television, radio, it's there.
They're doing it. We
Unknown: have the destruction of local media by being bought up
by these in case of Sinclair or far right media conglomerates.
And
a lot of local radio has been bought up by, I guess you would
call it Christian fascists. Yes,
yes. That's not local media.
Adam Curry: I know, like no mention of Soros buying all the
radio stations. Obviously, I'm not going to say that, because
we know that that's bull crap too, yes,
Unknown: and that's not local media. I mean, people will
simply cease to trust media, and that environment, as we know,
combined with social media, results in conspiracy theories
having Ferrari engines.
Adam Curry: Oh, conspiracy theories with Ferrari engines.
And then he wraps it all up by crazily enough, saying, Well,
John C Dvorak: hold on a second. So that was the best he could do
for a metaphor conspiracies which already have nothing to do
with automobiles or anything with Ferrari engines. And this,
this is like, um, this is, this is lame. This guy. He's
Unknown: not good. He's a gatheist. He's a gay theus.
Would he expect? Now, I
Adam Curry: was going to wrap it up by saying it's but it's
really not fascism. People
Unknown: get bogged down in these kind of irrelevant
details. What we have is a far right authoritarianism that
targets the same targets Hitler did. And the people who are
like, Okay, you shouldn't call it fascists, fully agree that
this movement has all the dangers of fascism, so I use the
term fascism because we don't have another word for something
that looks so much like fascism. Everyone agrees, even in the
fascism debate, that what we're facing is very dangerous. Money
shot,
Adam Curry: we don't have a word for it, so just use fascism.
Come on. NPR, sure, out of control. I know, I know that
John C Dvorak: brings me to a clip I actually wanted. I'd
rather play a couple other things before, I guess the Cuban
clip. Sure, which is more crap from these people. This is a
campaign about the DC speech PBS, I they would. This is a,
this is the PBS, not NPR. I got NPR stuff too. Yes,
Unknown: yes,
John C Dvorak: I got NPR under garbage. I still have four clips
here. You
Adam Curry: probably should play the just so we get a straight
Unknown: voices of America. This is NPR,
John C Dvorak: or people, so PBS, which is very slanted, is
it's really pathetic, actually. But here they're talking about,
they're wrapping the campaign. We only got five days left,
right? And so we're going to talk about the DC speech that
commonly all this great speech she gave the one that was
undercut by Biden's garbage comment. They don't
Adam Curry: no one's talking about her DC speech.
John C Dvorak: But PBS is here we go, of course.
Unknown: Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris made her
case in North Carolina's capital of Raleigh. We
have just six days left in one of the most common.
Consequential elections of our lives, and we have work to do
in Washington, DC, last night, a crowd in the 10s of 1000s
gathered to see Harris deliver her closing arguments on the
White House the lips lawn, the same place Trump gave his
infamous January 6 speech. We
know who Donald Trump is he is the person who stood at this
very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the
United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people
in a wait a minute,
Adam Curry: they were armed with appeal to heaven flags. Is she
doing this on the mall?
John C Dvorak: She's doing it, yeah. It's called the ellipse, I
Adam Curry: think. Oh, the ellipse. Free and fair
Unknown: election, Paris painted Trump as a threat to democracy
and vowed to represent all Americans these United
States of America. We are not a vessel for the schemes of
wannabe dictators. Wannabe the United States of America is the
greatest idea humanity ever devised a nation big enough to
encompass all our dreams, strong enough to withstand any fracture
or fissure between us, and fearless enough to imagine a
future of possibilities. So America, let us reach for that
future.
John C Dvorak: Wasn't democracy fragile? I don't know, but I
don't know. So they gave that's kind of a the best they could
do.
Adam Curry: It's inspirational. It's inspirational. It's It
reminds me a bit of Martin Luther King. She's
John C Dvorak: screaming at the top of her lunch. Where's the
joy? Yeah, so joy. So did. So they continue the report and and
they give the the talk, not talk about Trump's campaign, where he
is. And you can tell me you can't hear the slant, this anti
Trump slant from PBS. And I will say to people out there, if
you're donating to this PBS operation in any way, shape or
form, stop it and give it to us.
Unknown: Exactly. Trump made his closing arguments with a large
rally at New York's Madison Square Garden last Sunday, an
event later criticized for racist and sexist rhetoric
throughout, including a comedian calling Puerto Rico, a quote,
floating island of garbage. Trump responded to the criticism
last night on Fox, they put
a comedian in which everybody does. You throw comedians in,
you don't vet them and go crazy. It's nobody's fault, but
somebody said some bad things.
President Biden also weighed in on a zoom was
Adam Curry: Trump. I didn't know Trump was backpedaling that
John C Dvorak: somebody caught off guard right there,
Unknown: but somebody said some bad things. President
Biden also weighed in on a zoom call with Latino supporters last
night. The only
garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, because his
his demonization was seen as unconscionable.
Wow, now that, wow.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure that adds to the context. Yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: sure he's not only talking about kill Tony at that
point. At that point, he's clearly talking about Trump.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: there was one little addition at the end there
the demonization, he had another little bunch of back it up. See
me play that again. Who called
Unknown: with Latino supporters last night?
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His
his demonization was seen as unconscionable, and it's un
American. His
Adam Curry: demonization of things is unconscionable. So it
wasn't just about Tony demonizing Puerto Rico, which he
wasn't. So, yeah, there you go. So yes, Scott Adams should
listen to everything in context.
Unknown: Later clarifying he was referring to the comedian's
rhetoric, not Trump voters,
John C Dvorak: by the way. Harris stop. When did we ever
hear Biden say any of this clarification stuff? This was
all came from John Pierce. She wrote it, man, she wrote it. She
Adam Curry: wrote she just wrote his. Just wrote a statement. He
didn't say anything, he
John C Dvorak: didn't say anything. He never apologized.
Adam Curry: Did you see him at the Halloween party?
Unknown: No. Oh,
Adam Curry: so first of all, he comes out with the giant panda.
So it wasn't the Easter Bunny this time. It's a giant panda.
John C Dvorak: Well, the Easter Bunny scares him, so
Adam Curry: the panda is handling him. He's pointing out
over there. And he goes, Huh? And he walks over. It's a
handler, a literal handler. Handler.
John C Dvorak: Wow, we're coming up with a million. Today,
Adam Curry: it's a handler and and then, you know, like, Oh,
look at this cute baby. And he goes up and he's biting the
baby. Oh yeah, he
John C Dvorak: bites the baby, and then another baby bit the
other baby too. He bit two babies.
Adam Curry: I mean, he didn't get enough for lunch. I mean,
come on, Joe, his demonization
Unknown: was seen as unconscionable, and it's un
American. Later
clarifying he was referring to the comedian's rhetoric, not
Trump voters today. Harris distanced herself from his
remarks. First
of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear, I
strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who
they vote for, and as President of the United States, I will be
a president for all Americans. Whether you vote for me or not
for running
mate. Governor Tim Walz echoed that message in Charlotte, North
Carolina.
We can choose a path that includes everyone that is
hopeful, that it adheres to the American values, or we can get
not dark negative, and sink into a place that's all about one
person, Donald Trump. That's the choice,
but the Trump campaign pounced with Senator J, D Vance saying
Harris and Biden should be ashamed of themselves. That too
comes in the context of a pattern of coarse and insulting
language from Trump. Joe
Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way. We
can't stand you rash vice president,
including these remarks today about Democrats. It's the most
corrupt,
horrible people. These are horrible people. Oops, we should
get along with everybody. They're horrible people.
John C Dvorak: There's a little angle difference there between
those two. Yeah, of course, of course. Well, let's go to NPR.
This is NPR in the garbage remark. Okay,
Unknown: just the other I'm sorry, wait, NPR, gar, oh, I got
it.
His rally today was mostly pretty standard for Trump. He
talked about his plan to do mass deportations. He also talked
about inflation. But also, as you mentioned there, he really
railed against this comment that President Biden made Tuesday
night. Biden had been talking about Trump Sunday, Madison
Square Garden rally, where, at that rally, a comedian referred
to Puerto Rico as a quote, floating island of garbage.
Biden in talking about this,
Adam Curry: that is just in general. It's this is very
dishonest reporting. You should say a comedian made a joke where
the Puerto Rico was the brunt of a joke, but to say he referred
to Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage,
John C Dvorak: is this, not only that, but it's, it's both this
report and the other one, if you noticed, they said, quote, oh,
floating island of garbage. Oh, interesting. A comedian
Unknown: referred to Puerto Rico as a quote, floating island of
garbage. Biden, in talking about this, stumbled over his words,
and it momentarily sounded like he was calling Trump's garbage,
huh? Okay, so you have this comment from Biden, and you have
a series of racist and misogynist comments from that
New York rally. Tell us how Trump addressed all of that
today. Did
Adam Curry: he so? Okay, so you have answers. Quote from Biden,
wow. You know, these people are all they're gonna be out of a
job. Podcasting is taking
John C Dvorak: Jeff Well, yeah, maybe try to podcast with their
30 producers. Did
Adam Curry: you see Did you see Jeff Bezos? He said, Oh, our
problem is these, these podcasters?
John C Dvorak: No, no, you have to get that clip. No,
Adam Curry: no, it's not a clip. That lack of credibility isn't
unique to the post. Our brethren, newspapers have the
same issue, and it's a problem not only for the media, but also
for the nation. Many people are turning to off the cuff
John C Dvorak: podcasts. Off the cuff. Work involved No, no
Adam Curry: just sitting down, just yapping inaccurate social
media posts and other unverified news sources which can quickly
spread misinformation and deepen division. It's our fault off the
cuff, you You
John C Dvorak: know what's interesting about that quote and
others, especially the stuff you see on Mastodon, and I'll point
the finger at Dan Gilmore, who's, who's, who's one of these
report, report X, reporter, by what he's doing now. But he was
a, he was a professor at University of Arizona for
Arizona State, one of the two Arizona state for a while
teaching, oh, that we had to be activists as journalists. We
shouldn't be balancing anything but he but, but then they're
condemning, like Twitter, and they're condemning and they're
condemning podcasting, condemn, condemn. Meanwhile, Gilmore is
the guy who wrote a book about citizen journalism, which is
exactly. What this is, sources go direct citizen journalism is
Twitter, yeah, but okay, it's all bad now, now that it's
turning on him. Okay, this is NPR and garbage too, in this
then I get one, then I have the Cuban clip, and
Unknown: I'm done. I'm excited. Okay,
well, despite trying to draw attention to Biden's comments,
Trump is still fielding a lot of criticism from that New York
rally. Right,
right? Very much. The Trump campaign has distanced itself
from that one specific joke about Puerto Rico, but they
haven't really answered for the other vulgar statements made at
that rally, and there were a lot of those statements about Kamala
Harris, about women, about Latinos as a whole, plus Tucker
Carlson told the crowd that leaders, political leaders, are
trying to replace American voters, which is a reference to
the racist great replacement theory. At any rate, Trump is
doing this very broad cleanup. He has called the New York rally
a love fest. And at a rally in Pennsylvania last night, he
said, quote, Nobody loves our Latino community and our Puerto
Rican community more than I do, Wow,
Adam Curry: he's so bad.
John C Dvorak: Wow. So I caught so I I caught this on this
morning's uh, outnumbered a fox show where Kaylee McEnany
played, and it starts off with Mark Cuban on the view, and he's
not actually on the view. He's calling in, yeah, so, so it's
like a remote, and I don't understand why he couldn't do
the show and they wouldn't bring him in, or they just had to have
him on. I don't know what the deal is with this is a zoom call
on the view and Mark Cuban condemning Trump women, and then
this is followed immediately by Kaylee just being personally
offended and going nuts. And here we go,
Unknown: Trump. You never see him around strong, intelligent
women ever. It's just that simple, they're intimidating to
him. He doesn't like to be challenged by them.
Mark Cuban, okay, I had to take a breath before this, because
this is so profoundly offensive. I worked for Donald Trump. I
consider myself a strong woman. I consider those around me
strong women. Kellyanne, Conway, Brooke Rollins, Ivanka Trump,
Hope Hicks, Sarah Sanders, that's before we get to the
women that Donald Trump elevated to very high levels, like Nikki
Haley, who still supports him, like Amy Coney Barrett, who he
put on the Supreme Court, or the women currently around him.
Susie Wiles comes to mind. Caroline Levitt. That is so
offensive, and you know why? Because it's not just about the
women who worked for him, he said, the women around Donald
Trump. This comes right after the Joe Biden garbage comment,
okay, the women around Donald Trump. What about the women who
vote for Donald Trump? Are they weak? Are they dumb? Did Mark
Cuban just insult any woman who supports Donald Trump? Because
it's a little, very small step from that. And this is an
official Biden excuse me, Harris campaign surrogate, Mark Cuban.
That is misogynistic, in my view. Get out of here. Mark
Cuban, Kamala Harris, he's your surrogate. I want to hear from
you. Do you agree the women are weak and ineffective? Whatever
he said, Get out of here. And I can't wait to hear from you.
Kamala.
Adam Curry: Woman scorned like Mark Cuban. Who cares about Mark
Cuban?
John C Dvorak: Dick is a nud. Nick can care
Adam Curry: about I don't really. I don't care about
anybody but John C Dvorak, you know what you say matters.
Nothing else. These people say, Man, I like to listen to my own
billionaires,
John C Dvorak: but you're not getting one here.
Adam Curry: I need to play just a couple things about because
they're now, obviously we're getting close to the election. I
early voted. We have, we do not have dominion voting machines
here. We do not have, yes, there's a big explanation for
how they work and what they do and what they don't. And no
pictures. No pictures. Is your phone off? Not allowed? Is that
right? Yeah, no pictures. I said
John C Dvorak: before you before you discuss that any further,
can I play this little short clip from PBS on paper ballots?
Unknown: Yes, here we go.
The race for president ran through the Tar Heel State
today,
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump
both rallied in North Carolina, one of the crucial swing states
that could secure a victory in next week's election in Rocky
Mount, North Carolina. Former President Donald Trump urged
voters to send him back to the White House.
This election is a choice between whether we'll have a
four more years. Think of this, four more years of gross
incompetence continuing
to sow doubt about the security of the election. I'm hearing
all sorts of stories, we're not going to have the result by
Tuesday night. We spend all this money on computers. If you go
back to paper ballots and it's watermarked, you know, paper is
now very sophisticated, believe it or not.
In fact, the vast majority, over 97% of votes cast in this
election will be recorded on paper the head of. Official in
charge of U S cyber security and infrastructure, told the
NewsHour recently, first
got to remember election infrastructure, the voting
systems where Americans cast their ballots not connected to
the internet so very difficult for somebody to hack into those
voting machines. Secondly, over 97% paper ballots that voters
can look at and verify themselves. Yes, I
Adam Curry: should. This is a lot. This is, I should clarify.
It was a paper ballot. I filled it in with a pen, but it then
goes into the ballot scanner, and that's where, and I don't
know if anyone else has it. When you put it in and it sucks it in
and then I'm waiting for a receipt, that's my that's that's
your immediate feelings like, oh, shouldn't I have a receipt
this that shows that this is what I voted for, because I
don't know what this machine has now registered.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, exactly. So that's not is that a paper
ballot? You Does that count as a paper ballot? A paper ballot, to
me, is something you you fill out, and then it goes into a
pile and somebody hand counts. Well,
Adam Curry: they they keep the paper ballot. That's the point
is that if there's Yeah, well then go back like the paper when
you
John C Dvorak: use the Dominion system, that's no paper coughs
out a paper ballot when you're done with the barcode on it that
you can't read. No, I
Adam Curry: know, I know, and I don't this is, this
John C Dvorak: is a bull crap comment, yes, well, you're in
the
Adam Curry: part of the 3% it's California and and there were,
there were some, some issues with the Colorado voting
machines, which were not this is that Colorado thinks she's
Secretary of State. She was the the nut job with the Trump
derangement syndrome. Do you remember her like, forget what
she was all what she had her panties and a bunch about. But
now, now she's the calling for her resignation for
Unknown: Terry of State under fire tonight, her resignation
from Colorado Republicans. It comes after partial passwords
for voting systems were posted in a spreadsheet that anyone
could download from the Secretary of State's website. We
talked
Adam Curry: to Secretary of State Griswold this afternoon,
who says only partial passwords were exposed, partial passwords
so she says it didn't pose and
John C Dvorak: partial password, you get it back, it says P, A,
S, S, W, blank.
Adam Curry: I mean, I understand what's going on, and I know that
it has it said, like a two factor authentication with a
second password, which is probably a general password, but
they're calling it partial passwords, because that makes me
feel good. Only partial passwords were exposed. So she
says it didn't pose an immediate security threat to Colorado
election.
Unknown: Colorado's elections have layers of security layers,
so you actually need two passwords and physical access to
voting equipment to use those to use the passwords for them to be
worth anything. A civil servant who hid the tabs on that
spreadsheet is no longer with the department is dead.
Secretary gristle says the passwords were online for months
before her office was notified last Thursday, demanding
she resigned. State Minority Leader rose peg Lici released
these statements on behalf of Colorado House Republicans,
saying, quote, while I have the utmost trust in the integrity of
our county clerks who actually oversee the counting of votes. I
have no trust that Secretary Griswold is capable of leading
our election system. Enough of her incompetence, it's time for
her to resign. Get
Adam Curry: rid of her. She needs to go. Needs to go, so
that the couple other issues we have a little more information
about the ballot box that was lit on
Unknown: fire, we want to turn now to the FBI investigation
into a suspected arson attack on ballot drop boxes, one in Oregon
and one in Washington State. A law enforcement source confirms
the incendiary devices used in the sabotage were marked with
the words free. Gaza tonight, police may strike again. CBS
Nicole scan gate. Developments. All right, what have you learned
from your reporting? Isn't
Adam Curry: that interesting? So it was some some anarchist,
leftist, socialist nut job who did this. And we're not
outraged, not
Unknown: nor Investigators are still searching for a motive in
these ballot box fires. But a law enforcement source tells CBS
News it's still unclear whether the suspect here is a pro
Palestinian sympathizer or just trying to stoke controversy.
This is what's left of hundreds of burnt ballots inside a drop
box in Clark County, Washington. An election official said an
unknown number of other ballots were destroyed. The FBI has
taken both incendiary devices to their laboratory in Huntsville,
Alabama for forensic analysis, and are still searching for a
male suspect who is driving this dark colored Volvo sedan,
Adam Curry: Volvo.
Unknown: This should be easy. You.
Anyway,
John C Dvorak: those damn Volvo guys,
Adam Curry: I'm telling him and but you know, the the rhetoric
is being cranked up and, well, we're back to old hijinks.
People are stealing lawn signs. It's an outrage, but, oh,
there's some tips from Reuters if someone's trying to steal
your Kamala Harris lawn sign. The fight for
Unknown: votes is raging, not just in battleground states, but
also across the front lawns of America. No many voters have
recently reported their campaign lawn signs being stolen, and
they're going to great lengths to fight back.
Adam Curry: Isn't this something that's been done for 100 years,
people stealing lawn signs, putting other lawn signs in.
Isn't this? I mean, have we not heard this for five cycles that
this happens? I'm asking you. It's not.
John C Dvorak: I don't know when lawn signs even began. I don't
pay any attention to them, but,
Adam Curry: but this, this? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I would assume that people were defacing,
removing, replacing lawn signs since days.
Adam Curry: Didn't the Trump guy. I'm recalling that he
electrified his lawn sign. Well,
John C Dvorak: there's a guy who electrified. My favorite one,
though, was somebody had placed a there's a bunch of YouTube and
tick tock videos of this, these gags, somebody had put a bunch
of like, bungee spikes over on a lawn. Sign wasn't on lawn, but
it's on the side of the road, so you could easily and some guy
did drive over and knock the sign over with your car and then
get back on the road easily enough, but it was you get a
flat tire doing it
Unknown: all right, so listen to this. I think it's one of those
election year irritants, like those spam fundraising text
messages you get, or the attack ads you see on TV all the time.
The people I've talked to said, not only is it theft, you're
stealing something from somebody, but also you're
suppressing their free speech. And to certain people, it can
feel a bit like voter intimidation.
How are these frustrated folks fighting back? Here we go. The
most ingenious
way to prevent this from happening, or to at least catch
the thief, is the use of Apple air tags, as opposed to two
people who did that, they had their signs taken, then they put
one of those little tracking devices on there, and when their
sign got stolen, both of them said, well, they could see it
travel around in a car as the car went to a house. And so then
they can call the police, and the police can show up and say,
did you take this? Is this not yours? Whereas otherwise it can
be very difficult to prosecute. Police are not going to spend a
lot of time on something like this when a theft is an item
that typically costs 20 bucks or so. And then on top of that,
there's the more low tech solutions. People say a common
way to protect your signs is to smear them with Vaseline and
glitter. That way, the thief touches the sign, they get
glitter and goop all over their hands. And evidently it's very
hard to get glitter off your hands. Oh, my,
Adam Curry: oh my,
John C Dvorak: c5 in a remote control.
Adam Curry: C4 I don't know what c5 No,
John C Dvorak: I don't you know. Why do I keep I always say c5 I
think it has something to do with that lucky jet, maybe.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. See for and so while this is going on,
John C Dvorak: SEM, tech, SEM, Texas, okay, well, all
Adam Curry: this is going on, Rachel Maddow is still on MSNBC,
and she rolls out creaky Victoria Newland,
Unknown: as I saw this, Russia, Russia
Adam Curry: phobe emeritus. Oh,
John C Dvorak: she's the worst two of them together. I'm
surprised the station didn't explode. To
Adam Curry: just let us know that Vladimir Putin is doing it
again, third
Unknown: election in a row in which Russia has tried to
interfere, to try to get Trump into the White House. How do you
assess the magnitude and that the type of interference they're
attempting this year compared to what they've done in his
previous two elections.
Well, as you said earlier, Rachel, he's he's at it again.
This time. He's not even trying to hide his his hand, and he has
far more sophisticated tools. You know, his AI is better so he
can make these fake videos.
Adam Curry: His AI is so much better now. So again, make these
fake videos.
Unknown: She has done things like spend ten million trying to
buy American influencers, pool boy,
Adam Curry: pool boy,
Unknown: and get them. This is great.
Adam Curry: Oh, she should have just said she got the pool boy
and Dave Rubin, and they really changed people's minds
Unknown: is his lines and not even know it's happening. But
he's also got a brand new very, very powerful tool, which is
Elon Musk and you know, in social media companies worked
hard with the US government to try to do content moderation, to
try to catch this. Says it was happening, but this time, we
have Elon Musk talking directly to the Kremlin and ensuring that
every time the Russians put out something like this, it gets 5
million views on X before anybody can catch it.
Adam Curry: It is just sad to see how low she has sunk. She's
running with every nonsense thing that's been out is she
just reading Twitter and going, Yeah, I'll talk about this on
Rachel's show. I mean, what this is not this is not true. I mean,
oh, okay, he has better AI for all what videos, what videos
has, has Putin done? And what impact did this? Did the pool
boy and Dave Rubin have? What impact? Oh, yes, he's back at it
again, the evil Putin. This is just pathetic, really. It really
is pathetic. I don't know what to make of it.
John C Dvorak: Well, there is musk. Is the NPR is going after
Musk too. I guess Musk has put out some fake ads that look like
camel ads that promote, basically promote her actual
ideas. It's not like they're bullshit, but you can play, I
have a clip of
Adam Curry: it, yeah. What do you have? What do you have? Oh,
fake Musk ads, yeah. Fake digital ad campaign backed by
billionaire Elon Musk is pushing message. Elon. From now on the
show, we'll call him Elan. I like that. This guy is reading
the news on NPR and is and somehow believes that his name
is Elon. What is that? What is the how
John C Dvorak: do you get? How do you get to that point, after
all these years of listening about Elon to say, Elon, it just
befuddles me.
Adam Curry: Maybe he was doing the lawn sign story and he's
still stuck in it. Elon sign. Elon. Elon Oh, Elon digital ad
campaign backed by billionaire Elon Musk, is pushing messages
that are not tended to look like they're from Vice President
Harris. Bobby
Unknown: Allen explains the ads make false claims about Harris.
A series of political ads appearing on Facebook falsely
say Kamala Harris wants to institute a mandatory gun
buyback program and make it easier for undocumented
immigrants to receive a driver's license. They are from a group
called Building America's future. You
Adam Curry: want me stop the clip so you can complain about
that.
John C Dvorak: I'm just saying, Okay, I'm sorry. You're right.
But I just want to mention that what Elan has produced here is
what she's actually is part of her policy from the 2019, 2020,
era. Yes, there's no evidence that she's changed it. Oh, Elon,
series of
Unknown: political ads appearing on Facebook falsely say Kamala
Harris wants to institute a mandatory gun buyback program
and make it easier for undocumented immigrants to
receive a driver's license. They are from a group called Building
America's future, a pro Trump outfit funded by Elon Musk, but
they look like they're from the Harris campaign. Musk has spent
more than $100 million bankrolling a Trump campaign
field operation. He appears at Trump rallies, and he's expected
to have a role in the White House if Trump is elected. The
billionaire has also turned his social media platform x into a
powerful pro Trump machine. Powerful he has been amplifying
misleading information about the integrity of the US voting
system. The Washington Post recently called musk, a human
October surprise.
Adam Curry: Well, please. Meanwhile, the actual ads from
from the Democrats are interesting. You've seen this
one, the the guy who's watching porn on his phone and jerking
off in his bedroom.
John C Dvorak: I have not seen I've heard about that one. The
one I've seen, I've seen the one where the guys wink at the gay
guys wink at each other and they vote for Harris, and there's a
and, or the two lesbians wink at each other and tell their
husbands that they're
Adam Curry: How do you know the lesbians? They're not lesbians.
You
John C Dvorak: could tell by the way they're looking at it,
lesbians. No,
Adam Curry: that ad is about about you don't have to vote,
who your husband tells you to
John C Dvorak: vote. I know what the ad supposed to be about, but
what I'm seeing when I look at lesbian you have gaydar. Now,
all of a sudden, I have Gator always I'm in the Bay Area, you
have to have gaydar you otherwise you can get hurt.
Adam Curry: All right, so the guy's in his bedroom jerking
off.
Unknown: Sorry, you can't do that.
John C Dvorak: What the hell, man, how'd you get in here? I'm
your Republican congressman. Now that we're in charge, we're
banning born nationwide.
Unknown: Can't tell me what to do.
John C Dvorak: I won the last election, so it's my decision.
I'm just gonna watch and make sure you don't finish
Unknown: illegally. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: wow. That sounds like one of the that sounds like
a Roger Stone Gambit there.
Adam Curry: Well, but it's not. I mean. Project 2020 it
John C Dvorak: would put, what, what more I would put that ad
out,
Unknown: yeah, some, some pack. Well, there,
John C Dvorak: there's another word, the porn pack. There's
Adam Curry: a porn pack.
John C Dvorak: The porn pack,
Adam Curry: yeah, there is a porn pack out there who are very
worried that Trump will implement, uh, Project 2025,
vision of making porn illegal, which I'm pretty sure what's the
guy's name, Larry Flint did a very good and in a way,
admirable job of proving that that will not happen.
Unknown: It's free speech, whatever you want. I mean, in
general,
Adam Curry: he was the porn king, and he he fought it his
whole his whole life.
John C Dvorak: Well, I have not seen that particular ad. It's
pretty bad. Is really bad? Pretty bad. Well, he's a
Democrat, jerking off. What else is new? So you
Adam Curry: want to hear one of the emails that's going around
that family members are sending to each other about what's going
to happen during this election.
John C Dvorak: Oh, this is now, are we gonna we returning to the
nuttiness of the right? Well, yeah, but yes, I
Adam Curry: think we should, which is what I yeah, I love
this stuff. Yeah, so, and this is one of our
John C Dvorak: producers line where they're gonna shut down
the grid. Oh, man.
Adam Curry: I mean, so this is from someone's aunt, and she
sent it to the whole family, although not to, she didn't send
it to she even mentions it here. I forget I took some of this out
because, you know, he said never to email me again, so he's not
on the email list, email list, so there's always an October
surprise during election years, and we are running out of time.
Below is the expected schedule of events, although order may
not be 100% print this now while you're thinking about it, you
won't have access once things begin, and you will wish you had
it for basic knowledge to lessen the trauma we will all feel once
things start, everything will move along quickly. Any wars,
alien invasion, pandemic or plague you hear on the news is
all a lie. Try to stay positive and calm as possible. Emotional
tension will be beyond anything imaginable, as Bette Davis once
said in a movie, fasten your seat belt. Is going to be a
bumpy ride. The countdown to Release the Kraken is underway.
John C Dvorak: Don't think we're back on the Kraken. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Didn't think they would play it out this far. But
here we are. Oh yeah, Lee and Megan still not copied per Lee's
instructions from each and every email him again, leaving it to
his family to communicate or not anticipated event schedule. And
this is, this is a family email, seven messages before shutdown,
following instructions for having supplies and returning
home. Of traveling you need to prep with food, water, toilet
paper and other supplies. Have gas for generators, full tank of
gas in each vehicle you own, in case you need extra gas for
generators, if you have any, or for some other use. Do you have
a siphon wood for wood stoves and fireplaces? Solar
generators? Are they charged? Might lose items in
refrigerators or have other food options fill bathtubs with water
when the messages start coming in, rather than when power goes
out, and having buckets for pouring into toilets to use for
personal hygiene, spit baths. Oh, my God, once martial law is
in place, wow, any military scene are not going to be messed
with or approached to ask what's going on. There will be a mix of
international military, and it'll be a totally different
caliber. So do as you are told. They won't be playing nice and
will only be here to keep the peace. Make sure people have
food and necessities if they didn't prepare, help if there's
a health issue, and to cart people off to FEMA camps who
need to be picked up because they participated in crimes
against humanity or treason. Do not intervene in anything
they're doing or Off you go to the FEMA camps. The FEMA camps
will be a rough experience, and will appear people are going to
be killed.
John C Dvorak: Man, three people. Is this just like a
comedy act?
Adam Curry: Three Days of Darkness, no power, no internet.
We'll be on our own with only military police about at some
point, there may be a fake nuclear explosion that will seem
real and be very scary. I 10 to 18 days, okay? Disclosure, 10 to
18 days of lockdown. After the three days of darkness, stay
where you are, follow instructions. Riot and looting
are expected in some areas of the country. Not much different
than the Summer of Love. The news said was mostly peaceful.
Don't get involved. Disorder will be wrapped up quickly.
Remain calm. There will be no street lights limited. Power
turned on in our homes. Water will be on again, as they
understand it, but we'll only have a few plugs working. Oh,
Mike, I can't even read all of this.
John C Dvorak: How do you get a few plugs working? Here's my
best
Unknown: satanic sites. I.
Adam Curry: Mind altering or deep underground tunnels that
were created to do horrific things to adults and especially
children. These are iconic sites to us around the world, but
during the disclosure that's coming, John, the disclosure,
you will understand why they were destroyed, and you will be
happy. Some of these have already been taken care of, and
there are others, but these are the most iconic. Evacuations
have already been done or will be during the air raids, and no
one will die during the destruction. So these are the
following iconic buildings that are connected to underground
tunnels for the demonic forces that will be destroyed, the
White House, the fake White House in California, house, the
Vatican, the Ark of Baal. Augusta, Germany, Castle,
John C Dvorak: the Ark of ball, I
Adam Curry: don't know, the Biltmore Hotel in coral. Gables,
Florida, Buckingham Palace. CERN in Switzerland, oh, it says that
one's already done. CIA's Bohemian Grove, Comet pizza in
Hollywood, Denver International Airport, Epstein Island dome,
the Georgia Guidestones already taken care of. The Hoover Dam,
the louver in France, London bank one and two, the London
Bridge, the northern castle, the Notre Dame, cathedral of France,
already done. Wow. I didn't know that London
John C Dvorak: Bridge is in Arizona.
Adam Curry: The original one is, yes, yeah, the Opera House in
Sydney, Australia is going to be gone. The Pentagon, the Playboy
Mansion, the Statue of Liberty, Stonehenge, the Tesla building,
the Getty Museum, the Queen's hunting lodge,
John C Dvorak: the US being silly,
Adam Curry: I'm telling you, not listed, but also taken care of
with the recent hurricanes, with the Disney deep underground
tunnels and the North Carolina mountain flooding for the secret
lithium mining that was going to be used for nefarious purposes.
So I could read on and on. I'll put some in the show notes.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you got to send me this note. Yes, it's
Adam Curry: I'll send you the it's an actual email forward
with the headers and everything. I'll send that to you. But this,
this is, and I think people like, I hate to say it, but Mike
Benz and Dan Bongino, they're riling people up with this,
especially Bongino,
Unknown: oh yeah, oh
Adam Curry: yeah, oh no. The rioting is coming. It's gonna
happen. It's gonna be like, BLM on steroids. You know, even if,
even if the left wins, it's just, it's like, it's crazy,
Unknown: it's kind of sad.
John C Dvorak: Well, when you start talking about the Sydney
Opera House and the Statue of Liberty, I know. And the rest of
them build being some sort of gateway to hell, yeah, I
Unknown: know. I know.
John C Dvorak: It doesn't really make any sense whatsoever. And
the fact that you could get to the point where you actually say
these things, yeah, well, at least this balances out with the
other side, so that you get that nuttiness from both sides. But
we do, like we do, really off the deep
Adam Curry: end, yeah, but, but elements of this, I hear around
here, elements of it. And, you know, when it comes from, like a
Bongino, or it comes from, what's the name, Mike Benz or,
or it comes from now, Naomi Wolf, or it comes from Laura
Logan. You know, these are the people who were also correct
about certain things happening with the pandemic and and with
vaccines and etc. So you could understand the
John C Dvorak: stretch the vaccine thing has an explanation
for everything. I mean, this is it makes logical sense, there's
logic involved with vaccine skepticism, but especially the
mRNA vaccine skepticism, there's nothing, nothing illogic about
any of the arguments for or against it. But mostly there is
some illogic to the arguments for it. But this is nuts.
Adam Curry: Since, since you brought it up, we just talked
about it, there is an NHS doctor, and he works for, like,
you know, a proper National Health System hospital. He's a
cancer specialist, James royal, and he just did a full
presentation about what he is seeing with I think he called
post post COVID vaccination patients. And I think I should
play it. And this is not to freak anybody out, but it's not
good.
Unknown: Finally, I need to talk about cancer, particularly
colorectal cancers. In addition to the increase in all cause
excess deaths in highly vaccinated countries, since the
gene based injectable rollout, there has been observed an
alarming and significant increase in cancers. These
cancers have been termed colloquially, Turbo cancers.
Obviously, this is not a scientific. It turn but reflects
the different aggressive biological nature that seems to
be being observed by the public as well as clinicians. Despite
recent articles claiming that the sudden growth in cancers is
not new, such as the gas lighting article in the Daily
Mail reporting on a baffling increase in trend in data from
1990 to 2019 there is a clear, dramatic increase that occurred
in 2021 shortly after the rollout. A robust study recently
published from Japan, now redacted by the journal after
significant pressure so cancer related excess mortality in
vaccinated populations. Cancers being observed are in all ages.
It is my assertion, shared by many experts, oncologists and
clinical colleagues around the world, that the cancers we're
seeing are extremely aggressive and are are of a different
biology. One study showed this dramatic increase, particularly
in younger ages through 2021 5.6% increase. 2022 7.9%
increase. I've noticed aggressive, widespread
recurrences in previously successfully treated bowel
cancer cases that I consider cured. Many metastases in these
cases are unusual or atypical. Middle aged and elderly people
are presenting with out of the blue, aggressive stage four
colorectal cancer who are incurable and die within weeks
or months. In many of these cases, the entire liver appears
to be filled with large, round tumor masses. It is horrific to
see on a weekly basis in imbt. In my experience, it is rare for
colorectal cancer to be as aggressive in elderly, usually
sporadic cancers that are diagnosed as still operable when
they present elderly patients rarely present with stage four
disease, and certainly not in the way I've started seeing many
of my multidisciplinary team colleagues, fellow surgeons,
oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and specialist
nurses. The safety signal from both the MHRA and the VA ers
system in the United States is unprecedented and undeniably
obvious. Now
Adam Curry: very dry, very boring, but you can look at the
show notes, and his whole 30 minute presentation is really
mind blowing. It's not that we haven't suspected this, but
here's a guy who's putting his reputation on the line, and he
has spoken to many other doctors, and they applaud him,
but they're most of them are scared. I've had the
Unknown: opportunity to give into an international surgical
meeting in London in march 2023 at the end, I was congratulated
on my perceived courage in standing up and speaking about
these concerns. There was general agreement in the room 30
or more surgeons, many offered acknowledgement and similar
observations, but had been unwilling to raise their
concerns for fear of repercussions. In fact, a rather
alarmed eminent retired surgeon present stated it was our duty
to raise these concerns. In conclusion, the data are clear
that COVID 19 vaccines are neither effective or safe. My
own personal observations have been increasingly backed up by
other data around the world and research studies, as well as
experts opinion in other centers. I personally demand
that these injections and any promotion of them be stopped
with immediate effects, anyway.
John C Dvorak: So that was a bunch of people demanding this.
It hasn't gone anywhere. And he's specifically talking for
the people out there listening to this who got a shot or two.
He's talking about people with multiple, you know, the I think
it's up to nine shots now, and they're recommend getting the
latest and greatest. And
Adam Curry: they're recommending two shots this season. Two more,
two more. CDC just came out. We recommend you get two shots this
season.
John C Dvorak: There's also, you know, I don't have a clip, and I
wish I could find something, and I think I had saw something, and
I couldn't recover it. It's hard to say where they're saying,
Well, you know the thing, they're going to combine the flu
shot and the COVID shot, yeah, because the flu there's, there's
no way nobody's getting the flu anymore.
Adam Curry: Gee, I wonder how that works. Hmm, I'm gonna,
before we take a break, remember our overall thesis is, and I
think we've shown some more possible evidence today, with
the Karine Abdul Jabbar, Jean Pierre Van Dam, sabotaging the
Harris campaign, with with the garbage comet certainly
sabotaging any kind of momentum the Hitler rally had, and just
handed a beauty to Trump. There's so many people who
benefit from a Trump presidency, and the biggest one, I think, is
this pivot to China, to China, and when ship building, then
ship building? Well also space. Space is also a big one, and
this space would be good. Lockheed Martin, people
John C Dvorak: will be too upset.
Unknown: It's China's latest attempt at edging closer to its
goal of becoming a space superpower. Its senjo 19
blasting off into the cosmos Wednesday, and launch
authorities have hailed a triumph.
The spacecraft solar panels are extended and functioning
normally. I hereby announce the Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft
launch mission a complete success. This will
be the taikonal temporary home for the next six months, and the
Tiangong space station. It's here that the crew will carry
out experiments intended to help. China prepare for its most
difficult mission yet landing astronauts on the moon by 2030
in Beijing's growing appetite for high risk missions is
increasingly making the United States uncomfortable. In April,
NASA's chief warned us lawmakers that Beijing wants to stake
territorial claims, arguing its space program is also a military
one. Speaking on Monday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson
seemed to deny such claims.
China stays committed to the peaceful use of outer space and
opposes an arms race in outer space or weaponizing outer
space. China has no intention to engage in a race with other
countries in space and doesn't seek to gain an edge in space
before
getting astronauts to the moon. Beijing is celebrating the
milestones achieved in Wednesday's launch among its
crew, the country's only female space engineer. She's also one
of the youngest taikonauts from China to blast off into space.
Somebody
Adam Curry: better land on the moon pretty quick. Otherwise
it's gonna look like we never went there. 2040, 2030, 2040,
whatever. Impress me. Oh, look, I compare they'll park it all
right. But the most you know me, the most damning evidence that
the pivot to China is on was General Milley, who will whore
for anybody was speaking at the American Bankers Association
with most of the big CEOs in the room. Now, if you want to, you
know, if you want to talk about money and how we're going to
handle China, China, and how we're going to finance the big,
beautiful ships and the submarine bases and everything,
you want General Milley to go there, and he now he didn't have
his uniform on, which is a little disappointing, but here's
what he had to say about China.
Unknown: Is the possibility, not the probability, but the
possibility of armed conflict between two great powers, United
States and China. China has the natural resources, the people,
the population and, most importantly, the money to
challenge the United States on a global scale. First time in
Chinese history they have now, 44 years later, 45 years later,
developed the world class military. Now they're not equal
yet. The United States military is still the most powerful, most
effective force in the world, and the Chinese know that. But
the Chinese are trying to develop their military to a
point where they will be the dominant military in East Asia,
western Pacific, at least by the mid 30s, and maybe earlier.
President Xi has told his generals to develop the
capability. He didn't say he was going to invade, but to develop
the capability to invade the island of Taiwan and seize it by
2027 which is right around the corner. Now, that doesn't mean
he's perfect, prime
Adam Curry: perfect. We have the economy cycle collapsing in 2026
we need to build it up. What are we going to build it up with
military industrial complex for the 2027 invasion, ability to
Unknown: invade the island of Taiwan and seize it by 2027
which is right around the corner. Now, that doesn't mean
he's going to do it. He told his guys to develop the capability
to do it. And there's some symbology there, because it's
the 20 20/700 anniversary
Adam Curry: symbology. Doesn't even mean symbolism. He's
symbology. He
Unknown: told his guys to develop the capability to do it.
And there's some symbology there, because it's the 2027 is
the 100th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army as
well. But by the mid 30s, China's intent is to be the
dominant military, diplomatic, economic power in all of Asia by
mid century, by 2049
Adam Curry: you and I will be dead by then, it's China's
Unknown: aspiration to be the number one global military
diplomatic power, at least co equal, but preferably superior,
to the United States in terms of its economic throw weight and
its military. Now, will China get there or not, very much, an
open question, and that could go in a lot of different
directions. China is not 10 feet tall. They have all kinds of
internal problems and so on so forth. But it is worth paying
very close attention to, because they are probably the one
country who has the legs in the distance that could literally
challenge the United States position on a global scale. So
Adam Curry: the setup is here, the setup. It's primed and
ready. Oh, by the way, Russia, you know, they got news. It's
really China.
Unknown: Russia clearly is an acute threat. It's dangerous.
They obviously have a lot of nuclear weapons, and they're
engaged in active, the biggest ground war in Europe since 1945
but it's really China challenge. It to the United States, and
it's more complicated. We're living in a multi polar world
now. So we've got three great powers, United States, Russia
and China. During the Cold War, we had. Two immediately
following the Cold War, it was a Unipolar Moment, as people say.
So, for a short period of time, the United States clearly was
preeminent and the only real superpower out there. But today,
it's clear we're in a multi polar world, and that's really
growing in a lot of different ways, and it's a much more
complex world today than it was not too long ago,
Adam Curry: China, American Bankers Association, they're
going for China. And you know what? It still would not
surprise me if Trump is talking to Xi saying, Listen, you can
rattle the sword a little bit. Do your do your bit? Whatever.
Taiwan, blah, blah, blah. I need to build me some ships. I need a
dome. I need an Iron Dome. This that that will be the only
saving grace, I think, for our economy, is to have a new new
new threat, which will be China, and then build new new new gear.
What else are we going to do while we're waiting for the
tariffs to kick in? Just thinking, I don't know,
pragmatically, pragmatically. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: we make most of our money from build building
war gear.
Adam Curry: War gear. And with that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in
the off the cuff podcast, say hello to my friend on the other
end, the one only, Mr. John C Good
John C Dvorak: morning to you. Mr. Adam curry, also in the
morning, all the ships and sea boots on the ground, feeding the
air subs in the water, and all the Dames and nights out. Hello,
Adam Curry: hello, hello. In the morning, of course, we've got
1902, I can remember that means we're 100 above our average.
Yeah, I finally, finally did it. Finally did it, and that's
because of garbage. Garbage is good. Garbage is good for
business. Wouldn't you say garbage is doing good for us?
Seems to be, yeah, hey, trolls welcome. Trolls are in the troll
room. Troll room. They do have the Halloween
John C Dvorak: clips for later in the show.
Adam Curry: Oh, whoo. I'm so excited. That's great. Well,
John C Dvorak: it's Halloween, you know, yeah. Do you have you
give candy to the kids that come by or don't even bother? No.
Adam Curry: Well, first of all, there's very I think the first
year we were here, we had some candy, but no one comes by. The
kids here from away on the other side street, they come by and
selling stuff. Hey, I started a new sewing company. You want to
buy this? They're entrepreneurs here. They're not out trick or
treating. We just turned no trick or
John C Dvorak: just pathetic,
Adam Curry: oh no in town, but we're a little bit out of town.
We just turn the lights off and sit here in the dark watching,
oh,
John C Dvorak: you're one of those, watching Seinfeld turn
the lights off, honey. So the kids won't come.
Adam Curry: Well, the kids, are they gonna walk all the way up
to your front door? You just throw some stuff down at the
bottom. I
John C Dvorak: could, I could. I had them all stay down there and
I throw stuff at him, pennies. I feel like John Rockefeller,
Adam Curry: have a roll of pennies. Kids,
John C Dvorak: some pennies.
Adam Curry: And the trolls are listening at troll room.io.
They're listening live. It's the no agenda stream. It's quite a
phenomenon. It's filled with all whole bunch of off the cuff
podcasts. But it's quite the community. People love
listening, creating themselves. It's a lot of it's live, and if
not, we roll out podcasts on schedules. It's really good. Sir
beroz manages most of that. It's very, very good job with cotton
gin and everyone's got some kooky name, and the trolls
troll, and this, it's true, freedom of speech. They do
whatever they want to say. By
John C Dvorak: the way, I do have a good suggestion for
people, giving out stuff to the kids when they come by.
Adam Curry: THC, gummies, soup,
Unknown: soup, soup.
Adam Curry: Have you ever tried that
John C Dvorak: I'm thinking about, yeah, and everyone
should. Every kid gets a bowl of soup. What
Adam Curry: kind of soup were you thinking? You
John C Dvorak: know, kids like chicken noodle. That would
Adam Curry: be good soup. Don't go to that house. That guy's
nuts. Have you ever seen his office? No, I hear it's
horrible. You can also listen to the podcast and the live stream
in a modern podcast app, which is a great way to do it if
you're on now, if you have Apple intelligence, I'd say, don't use
the apple podcast app. Get cast. O Matic from the App Store is
really good. It's only on on iPhones, but it's, it's a
fantastic app. You
John C Dvorak: told me something to email that I'm I have to
bring up, okay, Apple is doing transcripts of podcasts. Yes,
Adam Curry: so podcasting 2.0
John C Dvorak: do I think that's illegal? Let
Adam Curry: me finish with the statement. Podcasting two point.
Point Zero created the standard for inserting into your feed a
transcript of the episode, and so we we use otter.ai actually,
we just one of our producers says they have an AI transcript
company, and they've offered us free transcription. So I'm going
to take them up on that offer if they're any good, which probably
is no agenda producer. And so we had those running for a couple
years, and that was kind of a big win for us, because Apple
now adopted the podcasting 2.0 standard. They put it in their
docs. But the way it works with them is, if you don't have, if
you don't explicitly say, I have my own transcript, they will
make their own transcript of your podcast, and I do it for
every single one, and you say that is illegal,
Unknown: they're making a copy,
John C Dvorak: a written copy, of the of the COP of copyrighted
material. You can't just copy it without permission. Oh,
Adam Curry: you make a huge mistake. You can't just put your
stuff onto apple in the to be available on the Apple podcast
app, unless you sign their EU law.
John C Dvorak: Also the EU law,
Adam Curry: oh yeah, oh yeah, okay. They can do whatever they
want. That's why we created podcast index, because those
guys were the default on ramp, and you had to register and sign
their you lot, same as Spotify.
Unknown: Yeah, exactly. Screw them. So,
Adam Curry: rock against the man, rock against the power. Get
your own transcript that spells John C Dvorak, wrong. That's
what we want. Get some humor from the from the wonky boys
over at podcasting 2.0 and those apps, by the way, have all kinds
of things Apple doesn't have. For instance, it updates within
90 seconds of publishing an episode. You don't have to wait
hours. Sometimes it takes with Apple, and you get chapters that
they don't have, the cloud chapters and also, when we go
live, you get the live stream with a notification when we send
out the bat scene was a beautiful thing. Now you've
probably also noticed we don't want advertisements. We never
have 17 years or 17 years in one episode. Now, we've never had an
advertisement. We've run this value for value, and you're
starting to explain it more frequently in the newsletter. I
noticed, which I think is good explain to people that we put
this show out there for free, you know, and we consider it to
be valuable. We put a lot of time and effort into it. I'm
sorry, it's really just off the cuff. We just kind of sit down
and off
John C Dvorak: the cuff, off the cuff. We just got his dad lived
the whole show. Yeah, that's exactly
Adam Curry: what we do. And all we ask is that you return the
value whenever it's convenient to you, and whatever amount is
convenient to you. For some people, it's more than others,
but they may have more money, or they may have more time to have
more producers. That's right. And we have, well,
John C Dvorak: that's actually not possible, if you think about
it, no one has nobody can have more producers than the no
agenda show. In fact, we have the podcast 1000s with 1000s.
Adam Curry: We have no listeners. That's the best part
about our podcast. We have no listeners. We only have
producers, and they deliver time, talent and treasure, and
one example of the time and the talent is our no agenda artists,
many of them Dutch masters. Now it was our 17th anniversary on
the last episode, Episode 1707 on the 27th of November, lots of
sevens. We titled it sweet 17. And it was very hard to find a
good piece of art. It was
John C Dvorak: funny that it was difficult as it was. Yeah,
Adam Curry: and Francisco scaramenga, who was always very
complimentary when we choose his artwork, even though you think
he hates us, which,
John C Dvorak: oh, he does, No, he doesn't. I heard him well
last time I was on that Mastodon thing, I All he did was berate
the show and
Adam Curry: us. Maybe you should just forgive him. I think, I
think you're hanging on to it too much.
John C Dvorak: No, I'm hanging on to because a good bit.
Adam Curry: So scaramanger brought us the and he's
John C Dvorak: producing more. He is way more. He
Adam Curry: is producing more. Scaramanger brought us the
artwork for for our 17th anniversary, which was not
exactly clear what it was, but it was a big block that looked
kind of like that. What's that thing that all the Muslims go
to? Yeah, the cube in Mecca. Yeah, the Mecca cube with the
big 17 on it and and little figures running around. It was,
it was actually
John C Dvorak: named for one of our Muslim producers in the chat
room will tell us exactly what it's called. I can't think
Adam Curry: Muslim producers where Coronavirus of Dog Patch
and lowers labovia. What happened to him?
John C Dvorak: Well, that's interesting, because he hasn't
shown up for a while. And I figured, oh god, this. I was
worried she could be so I brought it up at the with Jay
and. Uh, Brennan rover and and Jay just calmly says, you know,
because of all the action going on in the Middle East, she says,
you know, he might be working
Adam Curry: good point, Jay, he just might be worried the Cuba,
Cuba, Cuba, Cuba, yeah, they
John C Dvorak: could. They could pronounce uh, yeah. He might be
more work. He might be, you know,
Adam Curry: he definitely has a, we don't know exactly what he is
or what he does, but we're pretty sure it's something
clandestine, and we hope he's okay. Well,
John C Dvorak: he must be. It has to be because he's so he
sends cash, yeah, from looks like, you know, fresh hundreds
and $2 somebody could have just said, Hey, wait, why is this
pile of hundreds going down?
Adam Curry: Hey, let me grab that.
John C Dvorak: What are you doing with this stuff?
Adam Curry: Maybe got burned along with the ballots you never
know. Who knows? You never know. So we did. We haven't heard from
him. And, you know, at this worries couple months. Yeah, I'm
always worried. And if it doesn't matter who I was happy
to hear from, sir, Chris Wilson, again, who I did a TED talk
recently.
John C Dvorak: Chris did a TED talk, yeah, oh, you didn't know
that. Or is it TEDx? No, I'm
Adam Curry: sorry. It's a TEDx. Let me see. I think I have,
think I have a piece of it here. Yeah, this is a piece of his TED
talk. What do
Unknown: we do with all this data? We use algorithms that
parse this massive catalog of data using deep iteration, or
DI.
Adam Curry: It's called redefining artificial
intelligence Now, d i
John C Dvorak: Your favorite talks? Yeah,
Unknown: Chris is a funny guy.
Adam Curry: But anyway, the point being, you know, even Luke
wonder helm came back on the scene, and he had left. He had
rage quit, because, you know, we weren't taking Russia seriously
enough. And Ukraine, Ukraine, I said, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine
and but he's been listening again, which is nice. So I'm on
John C Dvorak: this is a great show. The fact that people rage
quit and refuse to listen, but not if they refuse to listen,
the only excuse I've ever Well, I said, driving a truck for all
you know. And I could listen to this show the six hours a show a
week, but now I'm at home, or I've got a different job, or I
work in the office. I got no commute. I don't you know if you
Yeah, habituated to listening on a commute? Yeah? Okay,
Adam Curry: but, and by the way, garbage guys, I'll just call
them garbage guys. Love us. My garbage guy here and tell me you
get this service. So Sunday night, I was really tired after
the show and, you know, and just we went to bed early, and then
nine o'clock on Monday, Tina says, Did you take the garbage?
I'm like, Oh, I completely forgot. I text the guy. He's
like, no problem. We'll come back in an
Unknown: hour. I mean, that's pretty cool.
John C Dvorak: You have a your garbage guy, your sanitation
engineers, text message, text message. Phone number, yeah,
Adam Curry: oh yeah, wow. And I don't think he even knows about
the show or anything, but
John C Dvorak: tell no, listen to the show. He might like it.
He probably would.
Adam Curry: Everybody here likes the show. Hey, man, I was in a
12 foot hole. The other day, drinking seriously. I heard last
night 12 foot hole in a 12 foot hole for a septic system. I was
talking to Eric, and Eric says he mows your lawn. Everybody
knows everybody around here is great. Around here is not the
same. No, no, you don't even know your neighbors. Normally
do. All
John C Dvorak: my neighbors. You don't want to talk to him. We're
suing one of them halfway.
Adam Curry: Stop the press. What do you sue? By the way, neighbor
disputes can get ugly. What is, what is happening? Oh,
John C Dvorak: it's just, it's just a it's a long story. It's
been going on for a couple years, and it's costing a lot of
lawyer money. But you should be able to, can you explain? I'm
not going to talk about talk about it. Is
Adam Curry: it about offense?
John C Dvorak: Well, if there is a fence involved, but it's not
specifically about defense,
Adam Curry: wow. You're like the Osbornes, oh, man, you're one of
those neighbors, huh? Or you're
John C Dvorak: the good No, we're not one of those
neighbors. The other neighbors, the one impinging. Oh,
Adam Curry: they're impinging on your turf.
Unknown: Yeah,
Adam Curry: I gotcha anyway. Thank you for the other tries I
like the Carter, 17 trips around the sun. What was that? What
Unknown: was that sound?
Adam Curry: Odd sound? No, I heard some kind of odd sound on
what came from.
John C Dvorak: Let's see what else you got a home invasion
taking place.
Adam Curry: So I guess so trying to think, was there anything
else that we liked at all? I'm not sure. No,
John C Dvorak: actually, there you go. Was a paltry selection.
And what there wasn't even a cake, birthday cake with the 17
on. I mean, there's simple stuff. Was
Adam Curry: that would have won a simple birthday. Cake would
have won. I
John C Dvorak: think it would have too. Yeah, and, yeah. And I
thought the key, I thought the cube was basically, was
basically lame. And you're,
Adam Curry: you're like, wow, look at nestwork, 777 on the
jackpot. I'll say, what does that have to do with 17? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: the seven seven, yeah. You're, yeah, I like the
piece. And then that you mentioned, what's the 777? Got
to do with 17? If it was all 17 that have been funny? Yeah. No,
they were not. This is I you attributed this to the fallback
on AI as kind of, actually, I was, I was listening to, there's
a show they had locally about, what do you think about this
cold it's got some lame name. It's just a filler show on KTVU,
and they were talking about people who use their GPS to go
to the store, to drive home. They always so the route home,
which you've gone to a million times. Do you still have your
GPS on, showing you to take a left, take a right. And
everybody said yes to this. And I've noticed that everybody in
the family uses GPS. It's on all the time. I stopped, well,
because I don't have a phone anymore, but I stopped using it
some years ago, the GPS because I want to find my way around.
Yeah, keep I want to be able to literally find my way around
without having to Google. Tommy, take a left, take a right,
because you start to lose your sense of yes, when you when you
push. And that's what's happening with the AI art. Yes,
Adam Curry: that's exactly it. You're right. It's filled up
with slop. Most of it is man, okay, uninteresting. And I think
the true artists go like, Oh, well, look at all that. That's
better than them. And they give up. They give up. It's the
saddest thing AI is ruining the show. Did you see apples? Do you
see Apple's Apple intelligence release?
John C Dvorak: I seen a lot of their ads where their phones are
flying to the store. But do you want it? You want to hear it
actually came out with something, because it's all been
vapor, where, as far as I can tell,
Adam Curry: would you like to hear the report from KTLA is
technology reporter about the apple here we
Unknown: go. Apple intelligence is here to learn more about it.
I went to the Apple Store where they're doing pop up demos as
part of their today at Apple session.
Please sit. Please get comfortable and welcome to say
hello to Apple intelligence
tomorrow. Austin is my guide. It's really the
best part about Apple intelligence is how intuitive
and easy to use it is.
Not all the features are available just yet, but you'll
get new writing tools just
like what you want, and then immediately rewrite
it. I love it. You don't to hop between apps to do this. It's
all right there,
yes, which is the best part, no third party apps, no moving
around. These
let you highlight text and rewrite it in different styles.
It works anywhere there's a blinking cursor. Emails have a
new summarize button at the top and a I can help you reply
automatically suggesting responses to any questions in an
email by
prioritizing and saving time. That's really what Apple
intelligence is all
about. The photos app has a new cleanup tool, which lets you
remove unwanted people or objects from your photos. Siri
is also getting smarter. Set a timer for 17 minutes. I mean six
minutes. The voice assistant will better understand your
requests, even if you stumble, and there's a new way to type to
Siri. Wow, that's new double tap, double tap. The bottom of
your screen pops up a Siri asks apples. AI has a colorful glow
and whimsical animations, and Apple says it's doing all of
this in a way that protects the privacy of your data. It's been
designed
with privacy from the ground up, so from the moment that you
open, moment that you open your device to any time you use an
app, those privacy implications are built right
John C Dvorak: in. There you go. Terrible reports. Boy sets a
timer. When is that new?
Adam Curry: No, he stumbled. He said, set a timer for 50. Oh,
no, six minutes. And Apple was so smart it figured it out.
Instead of him, just like setting the timer, it's
nonsense. It's it's lame. And so instead of fixing your email
like you know your spam, it does summaries. It does summaries of
your text so text messages, if they weren't short enough, it
summarizes text messages in the preview,
John C Dvorak: text messages are always short, well
Adam Curry: as I message man, so someone sent me a screenshot.
His mom had texted him that hike almost killed me.
John C Dvorak: Oh yes, the classic This is going around,
yeah, and you
Adam Curry: saw the the summary was attempted suicide, but
recovered and hiked in Redlands and Palm Springs. Yes,
John C Dvorak: yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, oh, this, it's worth $150 billion investment is
great. I think, I think it's well worth it,
John C Dvorak: even though this is subject to riding. What we're
going to see here, and that's all it's going to be a good for,
was ridicule,
Adam Curry: a Polish radio station. They had announced two
weeks ago, we're shutting it down when we're creating all AI
personalities, we're firing all the staff. And the listeners
revolted. They had to go, oh no, we're hiring back now, which I
think is probably a good thing anyway. Let's get to the
treasure portion of, oh, by the way, no agenda, Art
generator.com, we kind of strayed away from that. You can
listen to that in real time. Refresh it in real time. You can
participate. That's the beauty of it. You know, it doesn't have
to be AI. It could be sometimes we've taken just a scribble that
was photo copied. Can be anything. As long as you've got
the right creativity in there, we'll recognize it. We recognize
genius here, especially from Dutch masters, no agenda, Art
generator.com, and by the way, it's not just for the art for
the show. Dr Scott uses many of those images for Chapter
artwork, which is a delight when you're driving along with a
modern podcast app. Now for the treasure portion, we'd like to
thank our executive and Associate Executive producers.
Again, we have no listeners only producers, just like Hollywood,
when you come in with more money because you can afford it. I'll
be honest about it. That's how it usually works in Hollywood,
too. We'll give you a special mention and a credit, just like
Hollywood, these are valid anywhere that credits are
recognized, including imdb.com, which you'll go ahead take a
look. All the Hollywood stars are there, all the big producers
you can be there now, as well, over 1000 no agenda producers
are listed. $200 and above, you become an Associate Executive
Producer with that forever, lifetime credit, and we'll read
your note. $300 and above, whoa, $300 above. And you become an
executive producer, and we read your note. Are you okay? What
are you doing? You fall down.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm sorry I was looking out the window,
since that Amazon Prime truck just drove,
Adam Curry: boy, you make a lot of noise when you look out the
window. And we kick it off, starting with our top executive
producer, who comes in with $1,000 $31,030.26 which I'm
thinking is because he added the fees. So it's an Insta
something. Well Actually he says slipping into the wire, just
like most of my college classes and a Commodore as a bonus. No
brainer, how exactly do I sign correspondence? Now says, Sir,
who debt of who debt of the Hall of Fame city PhD and soon to be
Commodore? How do you sign your correspondence if you're a
Commodore? I don't know, but you should have an answer for this.
I
John C Dvorak: know I should maybe comedy just put Commodore
down there. Put a comma at the end of your name, put Commodore.
All right, that would work.
Unknown: All right. All right. Thank you very much.
John C Dvorak: That's not a question that's come up.
Unknown: Thank you very much, sir. Who that? Who that, who
that,
John C Dvorak: who must be in New Orleans, who that? That's my
guess. Who did, yeah, who dad. That's what this used to be, a
phrase they used one of the football teams used, who dad,
who debt? I think it was the saints, or they used to be
called the ain't until they won the Super Bowl. Okay,
Adam Curry: some sports ball humor on the show, wow,
John C Dvorak: sir. Artless chance, yeah, I know it's gonna
go over like a lead brick. Uh, sir. Artless chance in, oh, hey,
we, there's our Portugal. Yes, I noticed port in Porto, the home
of, of, of port, which is, uh, the Finder. I had my for some
reason. I don't know. I have no idea why this happened. I pushed
a button and it scrolled to the bottom. There we go. Switcheroo.
He writes, after 33 years in Hong Kong, my Chinese wife and
and I a German retro bait have settled in Portugal. Yeah, they
Adam Curry: must tentacles. What they must be criminals. That's
where all the criminals go. Yes, no. Criminals go to Portugal.
John C Dvorak: Everybody in Great Britain goes there if they
can retire. Yeah. But the tentacles of the EU have this
beautiful country in a tight embrace, and the Portuguese
largely do not see this as a problem. You doing, man, as
citizens of the world, we would like all of us. Would like, like
all of us to come together. You and John have done a stellar job
in the past 17 years. Hopefully, the nucleus that you've created
will continue to thrive. But as any good fathers know, late
adolescence is still far from Independence. 1717, so please
give us four more years, sir. Artless chance. Please Knight
me, Knight my wife as dame. Velocity, 432,
Unknown: you consider it done.
John C Dvorak: He came in with 1000
Adam Curry: Dollars surveillance from Brentwood, Tennessee,
$500.52 greetings from surveillance. Retired a wax
spook and proud dad. We got spooks. I'm donating $500.52 in
a switcheroo for my no agenda. Fan and B 52 pilot Kim, that's
his daughter to make her the highest ranking bomber pilot in
the US Air Force as a Commodore FYI, is not uncommon for these
guys to fly 24 hours plus missions in one go, projecting
our might. Thanks for keeping her brain free, which she
handles the part of the freedom for the rest of us while she
handles that part of the freedom. Well, thank you. We
appreciate Kim, and she will, she will receive the Commodore
ship, beautiful.
John C Dvorak: You know, he had a, I have to go find it. I would
give you this later. He has a quiz for you because he you're
the aviator, and he wanted me to pull a quiz on you that he
figured you can't get right if you tried.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's fun, yeah. And you promptly forgot to
bring it to the party.
John C Dvorak: I know you know I remembered it, but then at the
same time, I said, Well, I can find this. It's on the email.
And then I'm
Adam Curry: falling apart. Man, you're falling apart. It's
always I'm falling apart. Studios falling apart.
Everything's falling apart.
John C Dvorak: Studio is not falling apart, okay? Oh, I'm
sorry. I'm looking for the email, and I forgot that there's
a guy listed here, and this will be Martin Graf in Grandville,
Ohio, and he came with 500 500 I guess he wants a Commodore ship
belatedly, and we're still giving him out and so, but he
didn't put a note. So it's no no jingles, no karma, no nothing.
And he gets a double up karma.
Unknown: You've got karma.
Adam Curry: Then we move to Kirk Crawford in Lomita. Lomita,
California, $500 he says, I have been listening since the daily
source code days, and then on to no agenda. Show you've been a
great help in understanding how the world works over these many
years. This donation is just the beginning of what I want to
contribute for all the value you have given me. You see how this
value for value thing works. It really does work. I love it.

John C Dvorak: sir, Nick is up, and he's the dragon of the four
domains in Waterford, Michigan. Okay, that's what he is. Since

Commodore and a baron. So if possible, I'd like a title
change to Sir Nick dragon and purveyor of the of the the
blank, blank Blarg. Blarg. Or at least I hope it does,
considering my accounting sheet is enclosed. If Michigan is open

And she says, Where's dame? Bang? Where to bang? Bang. Here
she is. ITM JCD and Adam. Happy Show anniversary month, 17 years
and you never had a fight. I wanted to join the Commodore
ranks before it was too late. Upon looking at my donation
accounting, I realized that I was just another $38.32 shy of
becoming a Viscountess. Accounting below, I'm enclosing
two checks, one to obtain the title of Commodore, and the
second to make me Dame Bang Bang VI, Countess of the native
Chumash territory, which is the land of my ancestors. Map
enclosed. I am also enclosing some memorabilia. Yes,
John C Dvorak: there, here, there is. I see them. He
actually sent a map.
Adam Curry: I'm disappointed that the map was not enclosed
for me on the skin. I'm also, you know, I'm also enclosing
some memorabilia for young
John C Dvorak: area, by the way, is south of mission, San Luis
Obispo, which is a cool place to go, because when I went there,
there was still wild chickens all over the place, all the way
down to mission, Santa Ventura and some Bonaventura and the
Santa Barbara Channel has a cool area, fascinating information.
Adam Curry: Sorry. Closing some memorabilia for John's archives
from the RFK Jr presidential campaign, which I worked on.
That includes a couple pins that were not sold to the general
public. Oh, and are they nice? These are nice pins. I think so.
Okay, well, you like
John C Dvorak: stuff like that. That is, that is Yeah, because I
need more junk to collect,
Adam Curry: yes, for the kids to clean up when you're gone. What
is
John C Dvorak: this crap? It could be worth 1000s of dollars.
Believe
Adam Curry: me, believe me. Whenever someone sends me
something to say is going in the box for my daughter to deal with
when I'm dead. You know, it's gonna be
John C Dvorak: just throw this stuff out. They never take it to
an audience. What are these
Adam Curry: coins? What are these coins? These gold coins?
What's this one with CIA and Space Force?
John C Dvorak: Like I have four different CIA challenge coins,
Adam Curry: although I have to say, I don't know if you
received yours yet. Black Dame loca from Texas, hot glass sent
me a Glass Sword. Yes, that is a beautiful piece of work.
John C Dvorak: I think there's a donation in here from her. And
she sent us. I think she sent in 100 with the sword. Word, oh,
we'll mention it then yes. And she, she has a website, which
I'll go through Texas
Adam Curry: hot glass.
John C Dvorak: And she makes the most amazing if you're, if
you're smoke, if you're a dope smoker.
Adam Curry: She's big on the bongs. She makes bongs
John C Dvorak: that are just out of this world. I mean, I, I
should probably turn Scott Adams onto her.
Adam Curry: Yes, there you go, Scott Adams, but this long, but
the sword is, it's it's outrageous. How do you even make
that? Does she have a mold or something for that way
John C Dvorak: Jay, looked at it, too. If you look at it, it's
a glass tube, you can see it, but the handle is a part of the
glass tube, so she makes, he heats up the whole glass tube
and then has a stamp that goes at the end of it to make the
sword. It's a pretty phenomenal product. I
Adam Curry: would love to shift somebody with that thing. That
must be cool. Imagine how cool the blood looks on that glass
blade is a fantastic and it's sharp, sharp, amazing. Anyway,
please send me some jobs. Karma, says a dame, bang, bang, as I'm
looking for my next opportunity. Thank you for all you do in
these crazy times, jobs,
Unknown: jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's go for jobs.
Adam Curry: We have the best producers, we really do
John C Dvorak: lot of creative people, that's for sure. Dame
tammos comes in at 500 bucks. Uh, she's a Parts Unknown to
have anything where she's from. I can't tell send a nice card.
It's a real card. And you can tell because when you snap, it
makes noise ITM please credit this Commodore ship to my
amazing husband, Dave McLean, thanks for all the insight four
more years. And she said she heard the call for post its and
so she sent me a little pile of post it notes. And once she does
want to jingle, it looks like they're eating the dogs.
Adam Curry: Anything I also see here on the that she wants a
business karma for Dave McLean as he expands his engine
building business into grinding cams.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that came in, I guess, as an email that,
because it's not on the note here, all right,
Unknown: well, I'm gonna do that. They're eating the dogs,
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You got it?
Adam Curry: Hey, and there's Doug longenecker, who does end
of show mixes and lives in Georgetown, Texas, right outside
of Austin. 400 I'm decidedly certain this puts me into sir
coved category. Night me sir Doug of the watchers over the
mail in and possibly hacked ballots. He says, I want
mccamala And Jeff bucharo to serve me a a double Mac and
fries and mead at the drive thru done. My brothers, Brian and
Brad are douche able for not beating me to Sir status. That's
Brian, and that's for Brad lame, since they turned me on to the
show. Thank you to sir. Doug. To Yes sir, Doug of the watchers
coming up.
John C Dvorak: Ed Lyon in downington, Pennsylvania. He has
a note he wrote in as a check. You can tell when you snap it.
He makes noise. 33342, no jingles, no karma, no need to
read anything on the air. But I will anyway, as I requested, all
I request is that you please put Nathan Lyon on the birthday list
as close to no October 30 as possible. I think we can't get
much closer than this a day later. I think we put him in the
last but maybe he might have but he's on, yeah? But Jay, push up.
Put him on again. Please wish him an 11th birthday from his
dad, who thinks he's an amazing kid. Lion is pronounced just
like the big cat. Yeah? Lion. Ed lying. I'm Ed lying. Thank you
for all you do. Four more years, etc. Hey, there's
Adam Curry: Dave master and Sir, oh, Sir Mark the Archduchess and
arch Duke of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan
Sea. And they see $333.33 Dear John Adam, many congratulations
on 17 years of no agenda. You give us such a buzz that we are
hooked on it and cannot imagine being without it. We know four
more years is going to be tough work, but hopefully the thought
of how many lives you are constantly changing will keep
you going. I'm sure hardcore no agenda listeners will keep
donating to Well, you certainly have for a long time, and we
love you for it. Much. Love to you both the back office, no
agenda, family and to all the producers from day master and
Sir Mark. Thank you, beautiful. Good to hear from you guys in
Japan.
John C Dvorak: So we go to Ryan Tierney north. What
Adam Curry: happened? What happened to Gordon Gibson in
Kerrville? Ah,
John C Dvorak: good. I. Want to read, to read the long note.
Gordon Gibson in curry Ville, Kerr Ville, Texas, 33333,
nothing. There no note, no nothing. Just a check for three,
three, 3.33. And that is, I think, that came in from the
meetup that you guys had so you had no note. So he gets a double
up karma.
Adam Curry: He sure does. You've got karma. Well, I don't know
what long note you're talking about, but Ryan Tiernan is in
North Providence, Rhode Island, 333 33 and he will become a
knight, I believe. Let me see. He also sent in a note, let me
see, yes, here it is. ITM John and Adam, after completing my
layaway night program, helping to produce show 1542, and with
this later producer donation of 333, dot 33 I'd like to
officially lay my claim to my knighthood status. From this
point forward, I request to be known as Sir dibbs on living
recreations, director of the Chateau diff deep, he says as
you pronounce it, diff, D, apostrophe, if no jingles, but I
would like a Karma switcheroo. Undoubtedly, the knowledge of
the nation has benefited from your sharp and insightful media
deconstruction. And I think they would also benefit from checking
out a burgeoning musical talent, Akira the dawn. A K, I R A
setting, philosophers, entertainers and scholars to
phenomenal tracks, including Joe Rogan Alan, watch Charles Bucha
and David Foster Wallace, to name a few. If there was a route
much more of Polish, personally impactful people I have never
met, crackpot buzzkill and Akira the dawn would be on it. Thank
you for your courage. PS, I would also like to formally
enter the no agenda handwriting contest. See the attached note,
and please send my bitcoin prize money to the to the address on
file. That is, yeah, that's very interesting. Handwriting, very
nice, very pretty, that's for sure. So karma switcheroo for
Akira the dawn. You've got karma.
John C Dvorak: So spooky Halloween meet up in Western
Springs, Illinois. Switcheroo for Sir Brian with a Y, uh, the
winner of this sir spooky Halloween meetup, rally, a
raffle. Sorry, happy Halloween to the best podcast in the
universe. Jingle Obama, you might die sucking in soot and
JCD, scary. Donate, you
Unknown: might die sucking in soot. Donate. Donate.
Me. Day
Adam Curry: two in a show. How about that? Oh, here's the long
note, yes, I do get it from Kent Kanata, Ontario, Canada, 333,
Olivia Dwyer, and she says, Dear John Adam, this Commodore thing
really worked. I've been listening for nine and a half
years. I've always wanted to donate, but dedicating our lives
to an endeavor that is not valued in this upside down world
meant that for years, my husband and I used a cardboard box, a
cardboard apple box as a fridge and the bottom of a cardboard
washing machine box as a kitchen table and no internet for more
than seven years, not a joke. So not much spare cash to go
around. Not complaining. It is felt rather like permanent
camping. Then I hear about your Commodore promotion, and for the
goodness knows what reason, I become obsessed with wanting to
be one. Then bam, I suddenly have the dollary dues to do. So
a miracle. This is beautiful. Finally, able to give you both
back a tiny fraction of your true value to me, this is the
may be a long though I don't care. This is beautiful. Nine
and a half years never had money to donate. Get some money.
Donates it to the show, John, thanks for responding to my plea
and allowing the now 509 australian dollar reduced
conversion to your 330 $3 plus the extra few days for other
Australians to get their Commodore ship in. May you be
inundated. Please. Let me not be the only Australian on the
podium. Please play Trump. They're eating the dogs,
followed by, I love his I love cows. Oh boy. PS, I hope this
doesn't hurt the case to say this giving you two's attitude
towards him, but I'm saying it anyway. I have been a fan of
that genius Francisco Scara manga since his first days, and
could not understand why it took so long for you to notice his
art. Many a time back then, did I shake my fist at you two for
not choosing his work or even mentioning it? Have to say,
though, that I'm not crazy about the recent ish turn the
cheesecake has taken. Ah, she has a little bit of critique,
critique, just my two cents worth. And my husband's too, by
the way, he's a Gen, a genuine biological male. Well, good.
Love you both. Lots happy to hear that. Soon to be Commodore
Olivia Aaron. Of the Simo simulacrum and all over
Australia. Who? Okay, they're eating the dogs. I
Unknown: love cows. Yeah,
Adam Curry: there you go. Hey. Thanks. Olivia,
John C Dvorak: that's great.
Adam Curry: I'll do this one. Okay, because I'm drinking it
today.
John C Dvorak: Eli, the coffee I'm drinking too much. I might
say, What do you mean
Adam Curry: that's been a great show in bensonville, Illinois,
210, two, $10.31 Associate Executive producership. And Eli
says, and he's always every week he comes in with Associate
Executive Producer with less than a week left in this phase
of election season, all of us in Gitmo nation can agree on one
thing, regardless of political affiliation, campaign ads are
annoying. No matter the outcome, at least we won't be subjected
to them for another few years. In Chicago, they have a saying,
vote early and vote often. So visit gigawatt, gigawatt Coffee
roasters.com and elect to drink good coffee today. Don't forget
to use the code. ITM 20 for 20% off your order. Stay caffeinated
and happy. Halloween says Eli, the coffee guy, I am drinking
his, uh, his dark roast right now from, uh, forget what that
was from. It was very dark. It was a specialty. It was like
sand, hmm, I forget what it's from. It's good. He always sends
me the good stuff.
John C Dvorak: Thank you. Enough to P yo. Linda Lou patkins up.
She's in Lakewood, Colorado. She's her last, uh, Associate
Executive Producer. And of course, she's asking for jobs
karma, which she does consistently, for a resume she
writes that gets results. Go to instrument image makers.
Inc.com, for all your executive resume and job search needs.
That's image makers. Inc, with a K or find Linda Lou Duchess of
jobs and writer of resumes on the producer list, jobs,
Unknown: jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for
jobs. Karma.
Adam Curry: All right, no agenda. Donations.com. Is where
you can go to send your value back time, talent, treasure. We
accept it all. We appreciate all that everybody has done and
continues to do on our 17th is this now our 17th year, 18th
year. I can't remember how we're into our 18th. Into our 18th

recurring donation. You go to no agenda donations.com. You can
set it up frequency, the amount, as you can tell you, you too can
eventually become a night or a dame. It's very easy and it's
fun to do, and you support the show again. Congrats to our
execs and Associate Executive producers. Our
Unknown: formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth.
You
Adam Curry: Hey, I just wanted to mention one thing about
CrowdStrike. You know, remember David Boyce was was suing crowd
strike, and then delta was going to sue crowd strike. Do you
remember any of this for that? Oh, yeah, we remember that. All
of a sudden, there was this very odd update that happened. So Rob
the constitutional lawyer has put this, this latest complaint,
I think this is from delta into the show notes with his markups.
Listen to this crowd strike forced, untested and faulty
updates to its customers, even if you did not have automatic
updates enabled, as delta did not.
John C Dvorak: However, that's that's, there you go. There's
your loss waiting
Adam Curry: to happen. They're dead in the water with Delta
estimates that it suffered over $500 million in out of pocket
losses from the Fauci update, in addition to future revenue and
severe harm and reputation and goodwill. Yeah, you know, you
might as well say our CEO even started wearing dresses. You
should throw that in there and then maybe get some get some
money for that. If CrowdStrike had tested the Fauci update on
even one computer before deployment, the computer would
have crashed. CrowdStrike intentionally created and
exploited an unauthorized door within the Microsoft OS through
crowdstrikes Falcon software.
Unknown: This is very damning.
That's not good. So
Adam Curry: even if you had Automatic Updates disabled,
turned off, they still so that forced it. And remember, this
came right after, right after the Republican convention. Well,
John C Dvorak: there's something like that's going to happen.
Apparently, in a couple of days, when the grid goes down, better
fill up your bathroom. All hell breaks loose. You better fill up
your bathtub. Fill up your tank.
Adam Curry: It's happening, people, it's happening. We're
getting there.
John C Dvorak: I have to, I have a couple horror stories. Wish I
got a horror. Horror first for Halloween, horse
Adam Curry: of Halloween. Okay, Halloween. Horror.
John C Dvorak: Here's play. Play this clip, Jay walking. Jay
walking
Unknown: and a common practice has become the law of the land
in New York City, jaywalking is now legal. What? City Council
passed a bill last month Allowing pedestrians to cross
the street at will. It became law over the weekend, after time
ran out for Mayor Eric Adams to veto the measure jaywalking used
to carry a fine of up to $250 and by one count, more than 90%
of those targeted last year were black and Latino. There are
concerns that the new measure will lead to more pedestrian
deaths. But for many New Yorkers, it's simply an
acknowledgement of life in the busy city. Oh, that's
John C Dvorak: horrible. And now that, if you think about the way
this report structured, it's going to be blacks and Latinos
that are killed.
Adam Curry: You know, it screws up traffic. I used to drive into
Manhattan every single day for 12 years, and when people just
cry. So I was that a hole with the jersey license plates. If I
had the green light and you're starting to cross, I'm like, I'm
hanging on the horn, like, no, because you're crossing
illegally. It, you know when, oh, it screws up traffic. This
is, this is really stupid. Sounds like a technicality, but
oh boy, was it. Is this part of liberal New York, I guess, is
dumb. This is dumb. Bad idea. Adams, I was just starting to
like him too, the mayor, the mayor. We need the mayor. He's
John C Dvorak: probably busy doing something else with
animus,
Adam Curry: uh, maybe, maybe it's the same guy.
John C Dvorak: So here's my report. You can take it or leave
it, but it's good to get to the WTF clip. This is, uh, the
disgusting body traders.
Adam Curry: You've been hanging on to this for three shows.
Unknown: I love this clip,
Adam Curry: okay, all we're doing? Number one, yeah,
Unknown: last June, the
morgue manager at Harvard Medical School was arrested on
charges of stealing and trafficking in human remains
that had been donated to science. His arrest unraveled a
nationwide network of bodies traders. Member station W, b, u,
r, dug into this case and ended up exploring the world of legal
remains trading in the podcast. Last seen post mortem. Here's an
excerpt with host Ali jar Manning and a warning this
segment contains descriptions of human remains nice.
Couldn't believe how easy it was to find human remains collectors
to talk to. I logged onto Facebook and searched well
skulls, and I found a bunch of Facebook groups specializing in
the oddities trade. I joined a public group called real human
skulls, only, no scammer. Despite the name, there are a
lot of scammers in this group, people post stolen photos and
try to get some cash. Some of these posts, it looks like they
dug up a grave and snapped a photo of the bones to sell. The
skulls are cracked and look dirty. They don't have any
hardware that a medical specimen would have. There are also more
legit listings too. So like this. One says vintage, medical
grade, partial human noggin, $450 plus, and then a picture of
a shirt so plus chippy. Some of the listings spell human, H, O,
O, M, a n, to avoid getting flagged. And instead of using
numbers to list the price, they include emojis of the figures. I
do want joined another group, this one called the serious wet
specimen collectors, buyers and sellers group. This page is
filled with jars of preserved organs, animals, reptiles. There
are dead puppies and kittens and jars. Python with no eyes, a six
inch sea slug in a jar.
Adam Curry: Now this may surprise you, but this, this jog
something in my memory. When I was 1213, I think, and I don't,
I bought it off of some somebody I don't remember I had, I had a
human skull. You had a skull. They're worth 450 bucks. I know
I had a skull. Now, the jawbone that they gave, that I bought
with, it clearly wasn't the right jawbone. It didn't quite
fit in right but I put little LED, red LED lights in the eye
sockets, so at night, you know, I could turn it on in my room. I
had a skull with with red eyes.
John C Dvorak: Wow. You could easily become a goth, easily. I
Adam Curry: was, I was ska, for sure, but goth was not my thing,
so back then. But, you know, people like, hey, that's cool.
It wasn't seen as gruesome. I recall. It's like, I just had a,
it was kind of a small head. Maybe it was, it was a young
person. Well,
John C Dvorak: as we as we go. To the collector's world, which
she goes into next. They don't think it's gruesome either.
There
Unknown: are human specimens too, human, wet specimen of a
child's tongue, windpipe, heart and lungs, who passed away
tragically from choking on a marble.
This bullcrap all my
clicking around leads me to a page for something called the
ossuary. The description says we ensure a safe home and dignified
transition for prior medical specimens and cremains. I reach
out to the couple that runs it just in caps and Sonya Cobb, and
they are more than happy for me to come visit them at their home
in Smyrna, Delaware, Justin and Sonia don't have any connection
to the thefts at Harvard, but I want to talk to them and those
like them, because they're part of the demand for human remains,
and that demand causes people like Cedric lodge to allegedly
find the supply. So I want to understand why they do this, and
how it's dark. When I arrive, I'm meeting Justin and Sonya at
dinner time. They're night shifters. Sonya works in long
term care as a nurse. Justin is an ordained minister, and he
keeps sonya's hours. So I'm catching them at the beginning
of their day. Their neighborhood of newish single family homes
and duplexes is tucked away off a busy road. I spot their house.
His car's license plate says skulls other than the license
plate, the house looks pretty typical in this little
subdivision, until I step inside. Wow, right away. You
can't miss it. My eyes immediately drift under the TV,
where a skeleton rests on its back in a glass box, glowing
under black light across the room, next to the overstuffed
leather couch. Another skeleton hangs in an upright coffin. A
spinal column lamp sits on a table. This
Adam Curry: is, this is a podcast that you've chopped up
into bits.
John C Dvorak: I didn't chop up this into anything.
Adam Curry: Where did this come from? NPR,
oh, as I said, it's a podcast.
John C Dvorak: But they said it, they introduced it as a podcast.
If you remember the fur from the first clip? No, I can't
Adam Curry: remember. I'm so distracted by this, this narrow
narration. Well,
John C Dvorak: that's because what was the one that started
this serial? Yeah, I know they're walking around and
describing what they're doing.
Adam Curry: Why don't you just say people go subscribe to this
podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. No, she
John C Dvorak: said this was from a podcast. This is we're
listening to a podcast, okay? That was edited by somebody, but
not by
Unknown: me. All right,
John C Dvorak: is that the end of that part? Yes, oh, there's
Adam Curry: two podcasts. Amazing, amazing. It's riveting.
I haven't
Unknown: even turned to my left and my right yet, where two
pairs of skeletons flank the front hall. This is not really a
living room anymore. It's been turned over to the skeletons
pretty much standing here. I count 123456, full skeletons, my
coffin table. Oh, wow. Justin lifts the lid of the coffee. I
mean coffin table to reveal the seventh skeleton in the room. So
this was an antique coffin 1860s that we sent to the Smyrna
prison because they have a wood shop department, and they redid
this and put the legs on it and made it into a coffin table for
us. And
this was the coffin that skeleton came in. Yeah, it was
stored in this
Yes, that was, that was the deal with the coffin, or the
skeletons. When they came, they were all stored in antique
coffins, with antique coffins. So when they Justin and
Sonia don't have all these remains as a gag or so, they can
live in some kind of haunted house, and they don't see
themselves as collectors at all.
Hate no saying that we collect remains, even though we collect,
in the sense that we gather and not that we collect, because
we're morbidly you don't want to have a house full of bones. I
didn't wake up and go, you know it. I think bones are something
I want to play with. This was something I was called to do
people rescue puppies and kittens, and we rescue medical
specimens, these items, people, they were lost to time.
Adam Curry: Please tell me that the last clip ends with them
doing some weird sex stuff around the bones.
John C Dvorak: You know. The thing is, please, these are
hoarders. Yes, of collectors, or classic collectors in denial. As
as an archivist, I can tell you the background on this. There
are, they're, they're hoarders in denial, and they're and they
think this is normal, and I can't imagine something ever
getting anyone to come over for dinner. For example, you.
Adam Curry: Who needs dinner guests when you can have NPR
show up at your house? Well,
John C Dvorak: they were welcomed because to nobody else
ever would go there. But let's listen to the WTF part of this.
This is clip four.
Unknown: This journey all started with
Tyler. Yeah. He said, geriatrics fell he has one tooth.
Oh yeah, one little molar. I fell in love
with him. He was geriatric. I worked in hospice. It was
perfect.
They found Tyler in an oddity shop they often visited. He
wasn't for sale. He was just decoration. He
was smiling at me. I don't know what it was, he looks
happy, doesn't he looked happy
when COVID hit and the store closed. Justin wanted to help
out the owner, and offered a loan of $1,200 he took Tyler as
collateral. The owner never paid back the loan, and Tyler sparked
something for Justin and Sonia. They
got Tyler for me, and then I said I needed a whole skeleton
for the coroner.
From there, Justin got to work looking for how to get Sonya her
skeleton. Websites like skulls unlimited sell human skeletons
for upwards of 7200 bucks. But Justin and Sonia didn't believe
buying a human was morally right.
These are former people. These were someone's parents,
someone's children, brothers, sisters. They need a little bit
more respect than they're given.
Justin kept hunting, and he found a fraternal organization.
He won't say which one that was looking to offload skeletons
they'd been using for rituals, and that's how Justin and Sonia
ended up with seven skeletons in their living room.
Adam Curry: Well, wait a minute, where's the where's the ritual
clip?
John C Dvorak: I'd like to know what rituals we're talking
about. What group was this? They won't name the group. They won't
tell us the ritual. I think it's, it's, I think it's some
cult. Could be the Democrat party.
Unknown: Hey, oh,
John C Dvorak: that could be cosmic. That's,
Adam Curry: that's comet. That's your shaggy bone. The shaggy
bone, Shaggy Dog,
John C Dvorak: this my shaggy bone story. Hey, babe, want
Adam Curry: to see my bone. Come on, man, no, Comet pizza.
John C Dvorak: Just, I don't understand why you don't think
this is the funniest series of clips I've ever given you. So,
okay, there's a wrap up clip. Doesn't really have wait,
Adam Curry: there's more,
John C Dvorak: does I think a fifth, yeah, just a kind of a
denouement. Their
Unknown: goal eventually is to open a real ossuary, a building
filled with human bones. They're thinking a church where people
could visit and maybe get married and see the final
resting place for forgotten remains. They know it sounds
kind of weird when I was telling people this is what I'm doing
this week. I'm going to visit some folks who rescue human
remains. They were like, What the So? Like, what do you say to
what do you how do you explain to people? Like,
get to know someone like us first. This is honestly not just
unique, but it's it's it's trailblazing, it's different.
It's something nobody's ever really seen before, and we have
the opportunity to do something wild, crazy and cool. And you're
standing here in my living room seeing this yourself, there's
nothing gross here. There's no blood, no guts and no gore. This
isn't set up like Halloween or something. You're not coming in
here to be and it really isn't.
It's tasteful. It's great the skeletons are in glass display
boxes or hanging in coffins. They all have names. It's almost
museum like. I'm not grossed out by it at all. I'm more
intrigued. I'm interested in their interest in it all. I do
wonder, though, how different are Justin and Sonia than any
other collectors,
John C Dvorak: a lot different.
Adam Curry: Do you? You know what they should? Should give to
kids for Halloween, soup super as the pod father, I denounce
this podcast. It shall be taken out of the index.
John C Dvorak: The thing is, it's like, I think that they got
that original skull and they and they got, I think it was a
twilight zone, like episode, there's something about it that
that infected them. And now this poor podcaster goes into things
she thinks this is normal and tasteful. Are you kidding me?
Unknown: All right. Thanks. So
John C Dvorak: that's my Halloween Yes, kids, yeah,
Adam Curry: that's great. We hey you honestly, I was looking at
the troll room. This sick bunch would thought it was great.
John C Dvorak: Of course they did.
Adam Curry: They thought it was great. Everybody
John C Dvorak: liked it. But you
Adam Curry: all right, I need to do a couple of clips about DTCC.
That's what I'm calling. It, not DTCC. What DTC? It's an acronym,
DTCC.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I thought you'd get deranged. Trump
condition characters due to climate change. I. Oh,
Unknown: millions of spectators, 10s of 1000s of first time
runners braving the course, and a handful of elite athletes
fighting for first place. They're all hoping for one thing
come race day, perfect weather. Obviously
we're looking for, you know, morning lows in those 30s and 40
degrees with hopefully not creeping up much more than the
mid 50s. I think if you're looking up a lot there, 5253
degrees seems to be like the ideal temp,
that crisp air, still highly sought after by runners may not
stick around for marathons of the future, as our climate
changes,
Adam Curry: so it's perfect weather for the marathon,
perfect weather. But
Unknown: on average, New York City experiences a week and a
half more of above normal fall days as compared to 1970 and
that has a serious effect on runners. If you're
going to have the average go up when you have that warm marathon
a degree or two, especially when you look at humidity, like the
amount of moisture that's in the air, and that is shifting as
well the amount of moisture that more American hold that's going
to change how people sweat, how they evaporate sweat, and then
how they finish a race. Sustainable steps
like raising funds to offset the marathon's carbon emissions,
using solar generators to power tents, and taking the Staten
Island Ferry to the starting line, all brand new initiatives
organizers are taking with the goal of being net zero by 2040
will allow millions of runners from around the world to race
through all five boroughs for years to come due
Adam Curry: to climate change. So okay, so thank you for that
nonsense New York ABC, but wait, but wait we this is because cop
16 is now underway in Colombia. So the big, the big Climate
Change Conference. So, Oh, that's right, climate change?
Yeah, we got, got some stories, any studies come out? Yeah, I
got a study, a
Unknown: new report, reveals record breaking health impacts
due to shifts in climate more than 120 scientists across the
globe, every country is facing human health and survival
threats. There's been a 167% increase in heat related deaths
since the 1990s millions of people have experienced food
insecurity because of heat waves and droughts. The report shows
people were exposed to 50 or more days of health threatening
temperatures around the world last year, people's capacity
to work outdoors is increasingly limited, and the health of
workers is putting is being put at risk. It's affecting the very
foundations of good health, of well being, of healthy
livelihoods. And we know that climate change is the biggest
threat that we're facing in the short and long term to our
health.
That report published in The Lancet found heat related deaths
are most likely to one day exceed cold related deaths
due to climate change.
Adam Curry: So we're all going to die from climate change. And
then a sad report, but also a huge lie about this, this
flooding in Valencia in Spain. This is This is unbelievable.
Unknown: Residents of the small Valencian town were in shock
Wednesday morning, a day after torrential rain caused the
ravine to overflow its banks. The sudden downpour led to
widespread flooding, damage to infrastructure and incalculable
material losses.
Never before in history has there been so much rain. You
can't even imagine the amount of rain that fell here yesterday.
It's a catastrophe.
The floods we had in 1982 when I was 10 years old, were a joke
compared to what happened here yesterday,
with dozens dead and the death toll expected to increase. The
Spanish parliament observed a minute of silence on Wednesday
for victims of the catastrophe. Scientists warn that extreme
weather such as heat waves and storms is becoming more intense
as a result of human induced climate change. Due to climate
change, this
Adam Curry: is bull crap, one if Wikipedia even has this in 1957
the 1957 Valencia flood was a natural disaster that occurred
on october 14. 1957 the flood resulted in significant damage
to property. Caused the deaths of at least 81 people, only
about 10 times as much as this one. In response to the tragedy,
the Spanish government devised and enacted the plan sewer,
which rerouted the city's main river the one that just
overflowed. Good Good work. A large number of floods have been
recorded in Valencia, from 1321, to 1897 up to 75 floods are
estimated to have taken place in the seven centuries prior to the
1957 flood. This is cyclical people due to climate change,
and they're just scamming us with this stuff. It kind of irks
me, I guess so. And the best though, Nike, by the way, this
John C Dvorak: was. Everything,
Adam Curry: yeah, oh yeah, oh no, I know. Just, let's
John C Dvorak: leave out the facts.
Adam Curry: It's fact light with no evidence. So this was a great
story, though. Then this is my final climate due to climate
change, the Nike Air sneakers. You remember that, that
revolution of the Nike Air sneakers where you, oh yeah,
pumped air into it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you pumped them up. So
Adam Curry: it wasn't actually air.
Unknown: It was a gas.
Adam Curry: It was, I'm trying to see what was it called? They
had, it was sulfur hexafluoride. Oh, that's interesting, which is
a very it's, according to this article, the planet's most
powerful greenhouse gas, 24,000 times more potent than carbon
dioxide. So they learned about this, and then they went, oh,
oh. And in 2006 they eliminated this horrible heat trapping gas
from its shoes, and decided instead to go to a new
substance. What was the gas substitution? I think they now
it's just air, but they turned this into a $700 million
boondoggle by getting carbon credits for removing the
hexafluoride from the from the Air Jordans. Oh, that's funny.
Isn't that amazing? Yeah, it's a good bit. $700 million create a
problem,
John C Dvorak: and then get rid of the problem, and then get
credit for getting get credit for getting rid of the problem
that you should you created in the first place due to climate
change. What
Adam Curry: a scam. This is, what a scam.
Unknown: It's a scam.
Adam Curry: Like, like, we didn't know it was a scam, but I
just have to stay on it.
Oh, this is kind of important, because it's, it is a it's a
moment for
Unknown: a native ad
for too many eggs.com. An egg Spearman with promising results
at Harvard, medical student eating 720 eggs in one month,
finding that his cholesterol levels actually dipped 20% here
to discuss his Fox News Medical contributor, Dr Nicole sapphire,
so Dr Nicole and I both have new chicken coops, so we're big on
eggs, but I'm about moderation 720, eggs. Crazy, but
interesting, that is, his cholesterol dipped.
Yeah. Well, good morning, Rachel. And the big thing that
comes out of this study is, first of all, I do not suggest
anybody does extreme studies like this, but it is
interesting. So let's look at it a little bit. He had a very
large consumption of eggs over a month's period, and his
cholesterol actually dropped 20% now, why is that? Well, the
truth is, he did change his diet a little bit differently, but
the big take home here is that everyone's body is different,
and what may be good for one person may not be good for
someone else. My big take home just like you, I'm a huge
supporter of eggs. I think it is great for your overall health,
especially your brain health. It has choline in it, but
everything in moderation, and so some people are predisposed to
high level of cholesterol because it's in their DNA. It's
in their genes, and there's nothing they can do about it.
And so those people, especially those who have diabetes, you
know, eating a large amount of eggs can actually have negative
impacts on their health, but the majority of overwhelming
research does show that up to about seven eggs a week, not
only isn't bad for your health, but it's probably really good
for your health. It decreases the risk of dying. Risk of
dementia and decreases your risk of stroke. So eat your eggs.
Guys,
Adam Curry: eat your eggs. Too many eggs.com. Too many
eggs.com. You know this, I
John C Dvorak: have a raw egg.
Unknown: Are you eating it now? On
John C Dvorak: show days,
Adam Curry: you eat a raw egg? On show days,
John C Dvorak: yeah. Well, that explains a lot. Doesn't explain
anything.
Adam Curry: Do you just crack it open in the glass and then suck
it down. Come on. I
John C Dvorak: mix it in with a concoction. I make a show day
concoction, yes, which is proprietary at the moment. No,
hold
Adam Curry: on a second. I feel that you should be publishing
this on this very podcast, telling us about the show day
concoction. So
John C Dvorak: Tip of the day, upcoming Tip of the day could be
today could be the next tip of the days. I'm going to make it a
tip of the day, the show day concoction. Now the raw egg
thing is sketchy because of the nature of the crappy industrial
eggs. But luckily, Jay pop there in rodeo with her husband. They
have a bunch of chickens, and they're getting these, you know,
pretty pristine eggs from a, you know, chickens that don't get
salmonella because they're not part of a giant flock. And so I
use those eggs.
Adam Curry: You are a curious man. John, C, D, for lack
Unknown: I'm gonna show my donation.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we got Tip of the Day coming up. I don't know
if it's going to be John's show day egg concoction. But we'll,
we'll, we'll hope that that will be a tip of the day in the
future. I'm very excited about hearing about that. We do have a
tip coming up, along with some dynamite end of show mixes, meet
up reports, which are good. And we'll be welcoming our
Commodores and some nights and Dames and title changes. John
will be thanking everybody who supported us, $50 and above for
today's episode.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I will. That's what I'm gonna do,
starting with Sir John, of all people. And he's in London, UK,

this layaway night plan I've just completed is actually a
switcheroo for my smoking hot wife. Please allow her the title
of Dame Emily of the Rosary, as I rarely find her without hers
in her hand. I like to imagine she's saying all those decades
for me and our three human resources, but I know that she
includes an Ave or two here and there in thanksgiving for Adam's
progress on his faith journey. Oh, thank you. Of course, she
would also pray Adam finds Rome and that John finds his way
back. Find your way back, John, she converted me, and I've never
had a better decision, despite much of the nonsense so often in
the news from the Vatican, you have a huge following among
traditional Catholics and Latin Mass lovers and and Christian
fascists. Reliably informed, I'd like to thank one such fellow
slave who wishes to remain anonymous. They hit me in the
mouth during the lockdowns. Keep your pagan karma. In fact, no
jingles at all is this note is too long as it is. Thank you for
your courage. David Steele, now relegated back to douche bag
status, unless one of you can spare a penny. I got it. I got a
penny for you brother. No problem. Thank you very much. He
will be damed,

We do have three title changes, Viscount not sure becomes count
not sure, protector of the tri Lake, sir Nick dragon of the
four domains, now to be known as Baron sir Nick dragon and
purveyor of the Blarg and Dame bang, bang you heard earlier
where there no dame, bang, bang. Vis Countess of the native
Chumash territory, with a map, in case you're wondering about
it. Congratulations to you with your uppage in your peerage
status. And thank you all very much for supporting the best
podcast in the universe. We appreciate it. I got a kind of a
snarky note from a retired Army dude. He's like, you let the
Navy capture the Commodore segment. It's boring. We're
gonna change that up as you finish up this promotion. So he
gave me some sound effects to play. I'm not gonna play them
all. And he gave us a script, which is a very bad idea,
because we can't follow scripts at all. However, I will use your
musical bed. That was quite snappy. It's a toe Tapper. And
we will be welcoming the following Commodores. Remember,
go to,
John C Dvorak: do we have some make good notes, or anything on
this list? Yeah,
Adam Curry: that would you just let me organize everything?
John C Dvorak: Well, you're doing it out of the normal
order. No,
Adam Curry: no, I always do the Commodores. And then I do the

years. Justin Kaler layaway Knight, about to be knighted
from Northern Indiana. After 20 months of sustaining donations,
I have reached knighthood status. I would like to be known
as Sir Justin of the parlor City at the round table. I would like
a round of Nelson's green Briar Tennessee whiskey. Actually Did
I order that? Are you familiar with this? With this particular
brand of stuff?
John C Dvorak: Probably a sour mash, is my guess he wants.
Adam Curry: And what does he want that with? He wants that
with Tennessee and a Camacho triple Maduro cigar.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, triple Maduro. I must be black.
Adam Curry: I mean, at that point you just like coughing up
a lung on that thing. Okay, well, we got one. I'm not gonna
stop smoking so I won't do that anymore. A deducing, oh, a de

time. I've been at least three or four times. Yeah, when they

worldview and

guide on the website, and of course, you'll get some wax with
that. Since it is a signet ring, you. Seal your important
correspondence with it, along with yes another certificate of

No agenda meetups. I really realized I've been talking to a
lot of people. You know, they say, Hi, I went to my first
meetup. It was so good. The no agenda producers that you see at
a meet up. They are your first responders. I think this
Tennessee, western North Carolina, even Florida, these
hurricanes showed you that you can't be waiting around for the
government. I don't know where we all get this. Got this idea
that the government's gonna save you. They'll come in,
eventually, they'll do their thing. But it's these people
that you meet at the meetups. They are your first responders.
Connection always brings protection. I'm gonna give you a
meet up report from Minneapolis. A note on these meetup reports.
I don't mind editing out spaces. I don't mind trying to filter
some stuff. But listen to what you've recorded before you send
it to me. I couldn't there were three reports I could not play.
They're just inaudible. This one, I kind of was able to make
it usable. But, I mean, it sounds like they recorded this
on, I don't know what were those first mp three players. The very
first one is the Rio.
John C Dvorak: Rio would be one of them, I mean, but they never
recorded, no, I'm
Adam Curry: thinking, what was that long? Kind of longest one
looked like a thumb, I don't know, and it had a little
display on it. Well, it sounds bad.
Unknown: Lee of La China coming to you from Minneapolis,
Minnesota, where they haven't been spraying enough Chem trails
to keep the 75 degree weather away. Katie Tierney, I am Rob
the constitutional lawyer's little sister and better looking
one. And I was told this would be a sex event. Apparently it
was not. I'm curry in the morning.
Allen in Minneapolis, FEMA Region number five.

Kyle from Minneapolis and the Fed.
This is Rick from
Minnesota, 17
more years. This is Jeff in Minneapolis, where we're still
waiting for Beyonce.
Hey. This is Dave, and Dame Jesse is the best. Thanks for
organizing it in the morning.
This is Jamie from Minneapolis, and the chem trails were
fabulous today. I like, Oh, hold on.
John C Dvorak: I can tell you what they did wrong. You don't
take your iPhone, put it on record and put it in a bucket
and put in the corner, yell into the bucket. That is not the way
the professionals do it.
Adam Curry: Maybe it was Joe Biden's audio guy who did that,
I don't know, but this, this was, it's, how can, how can you
even make it so bad the sound? Maybe it was on a Nokia.
John C Dvorak: That's what it sounds an old realistic, uh,
recorder that somebody puked on the microphone so it has no
sound anymore,
Adam Curry: sir. Spooky is Halloween. Spooktacular Meetup
is a written report. It was the third time they did this. A
success. 10 people in total. Everybody went home with
Halloween candy and a raffle prize, and even the liberal was
happy. But in all seriousness, everyone in the group had unique
viewpoints and got along just fine. Lots of new faces beyond
comparing Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan and Kamala on call our
daddy, we hardly even talk politics, just really nice
people enjoying the Halloween festivities. Everyone's always
welcome at our Chicago meetups. Finally, we continued in the
tradition of watching Adam's Swamp Thing episode. It gets
better with every viewing. Can you provide any retrospective
about your experience? It would be a fun way to celebrate
Halloween, to hear about this. Well, we're running long today.
One of these days, I will give you a retrospective on my Swamp
Thing episode. It is, of course, my acting debut. Fabulous. Yeah.
You
John C Dvorak: got nominated, yeah, for something.
Adam Curry: Florida is having a meet up pretty soon, and they
like to send in promos for their meet ups
Unknown: in the morning. Florida. Producers, I wanted to
formally invite you to our November to remember meet up in
the Gainesville Ocala area on Sunday, November 17, at 12pm for
our glass bottom boat tour of the Silver Springs River. It's
going to be a big meet up, really big, some might even say
huge, with lots of beautiful people. I don't know if we'll
win or lose, but either way, it's going to be like. The
party. Let's make Florida meet up. Spray it again.

River the northern Silicon Valley. Get John out of the
house. Meet up. There it is. It's 5.0 trader vix in
Emeryville, California. Bring your kids.
John C Dvorak: And when the last I think of the trader, Trader
vix change chains. And the trader vix chain began in
Emeryville. It was different location, and then they built
this fancy place over there on the landfill. And it's a
gorgeous spot, but it's, I think is the end of the era for trader
VIX. Bring
Adam Curry: your kids to Trader vix and meet John that that'll
set him straight. You'll tell him about it. Yeah,
whatever kids, if he says he ran out of toilet paper, don't try
and hand him any, because he's got another trick up his sleeve.
And then finally, on Sunday, the Myrtle Beach meets freely, M, E,
A, T, freely, before the election, 330 RSVP, please to
rusty dirt. That'll be at Sweden swine Myrtle Beach, Florida. I
guess they may be renting out the whole place. Many more
meetups to be found at on the calendar, on the website, at no

first responders. I strongly suggest that you go to an end no
agenda. Meet up at least once. Trust me, you'll want to go back
for more. No agenda, meetups.com. If you can't find
one near you, start one yourself. Sometimes
Unknown: you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
All hell lame. You
wanna be where everybody feels
the same. It's like a party.
Adam Curry: Well, to make up for this horrible, horrible lack of
ISOs on the last show, I of course, have way too many ISOs.
Oh, run them off. Yeah, rip it is what he said. Okay, crazy,
okay, crazy.
Unknown: We're not going to have a final answer on that. I
Adam Curry: don't like that one. I'm gonna dump that one. This
one, people have sent me over and over and over again, so I
finally clipped it. I guess we need to make an ISO out of it.
My joy cometh in the morning.
Unknown: No, underwhelmed. It's a cleansing, you know? It's
really a cleansing.
Adam Curry: And then the final one. So
Unknown: eat your eggs. Guys,

Okay. I guess you don't like any of them. No, I
John C Dvorak: did like the Trump one a little bit. Okay,

John C Dvorak: I got four. Okay, let's start with elections.
Elections. One
Unknown: day the election will be over.
Yeah, that's doable.

That's probably appropriate. Yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: what I was thinking. And then we have what?

Kamala. Yeah, you're
John C Dvorak: right. She sounds she's always sounds like she's
in a bucket. Yeah. And then support, please, support our

it's time for it. Will it be the raw egg John's Tip of the day,
Unknown: and sometimes Adam.
John C Dvorak: This tip was provided by Mimi. It wasn't the
raw egg,
Adam Curry: ah, bummer. It's the
Unknown: bummer. Bummer. Far out, groovy, bummer, dude.
John C Dvorak: This is the tevla fee, and since he's 90 bucks,
it's your own. You can get him. I don't know where he did. T, E,
V, I'm sorry I get the hiccups Now, t, e, v, l, a, p, H, E, E,
wheel, lock
Unknown: wheel.
Adam Curry: Is this for your for Mimi's motorcycle? Yeah. It's
John C Dvorak: a Boston boot, and you can put it on your car.
She has a mower, drive mower. You know, more you can drive
Adam Curry: around. We need a picture in the newsletter of
Mimi on the driving lawnmower.
John C Dvorak: Okay, all right, so, but she catches more, and
she leaves it out, and she says, you know, somebody can just jump
on this thing started up and drive it off and have a mower.
And so she came found this Boston boot. And they have
different sizes. You can find different sizes, and you can get
one for a car. You can get one for for a mower. Now you put
this, you put this on the steering wheel. No, this is a
Boston boot. You know what a Boston boot is. Well, I
Adam Curry: know a boot on a car wheel, yeah, yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's what this is, huh? This goes on the car
wheel so you can't drive the car off. I mean, if you, you just
can't, if you could even get it to go past a little bit. There's
Adam Curry: a flaw in this. So I'm, I'm a I'm a junkie, I'm
jacked I'm a jacked up junkie. I'm gonna steal this car. I jump
in the car, I start it, and I just like, peel out. What's
gonna happen with this Boston? Something's gonna break it's
gonna ruin my car, yeah? And that's a good thing.
John C Dvorak: Well, you don't, nobody in their right mind would
try to drive a car with the boss. Yeah, but I'm a junkie.
Adam Curry: I'm a junkie. Junkies
John C Dvorak: can't drive,
Adam Curry: okay? I don't know about this tip. I mean, I I can
see for the for the lawnmower, I can see that,
Unknown: you know,
John C Dvorak: it's for the lawnmowers, where you have
outdoor equipment that you can drive off, buy one of these
things, put it on there, and you won't have to worry about it.
You don't you won't need a hound dog outside. That's the tip.

the sewer, if you know what I mean, end of show mixes. David
kecta, Isaac Contreras, Tom Stark weather and Jeffrey
Crocker, we've got some cracking end of show mixes coming to you
from the heart of the Texas Hill Country in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry, and
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley, where, if you
don't give the trick or treaters soup, give them canned goods.
I'm John C Dvorak. We
Adam Curry: return on Sunday, looking forward to it, just
before the election. We'll see you then, adios, Mo foes, a
hooey, hooey and such. This truck is in honor of Kamala and
Joe Biden.
Unknown: You COVID, the
only garbage I see float down there is his supporters.
So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters.
Garbage.
Only garbage I see float down there is his supporters.
So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters
garbage, new supporters car garbage, new supporters garbage,
was born in the property. She was raised as a middle class man
when she was in college and fair expenses, she didn't just
pretend to wonder McDonald's.
Just 28%
of American voters think the country is going in the right
direction. Is on the right track. We love
Trump from our bottom of the harm, because we know Trump is
the only one can save America.
John C Dvorak: So I heard these two different guys say, Kay
Mala.
Adam Curry: Kay Mala.
Unknown: Totally what you
John C Dvorak: and then he said, K Mala, a Camella. However,
Unknown: he figured he corrected himself. That's
John C Dvorak: what it sounded like, didn't it? That's exactly
what I thought the first time I heard it. The first time, the
second time when I heard K Mala, he said, K Mala came along. K
mall is Spanish for who is bad? What's bad? Is bad. It's malo.
It means bad,
Adam Curry: okay? Mala, Kay, Mala, Charlie,
John C Dvorak: Mala, which is bad? The damascu inversion by
us, it's que Mala. They specifically said que Mala, so
they don't want you saying ka Mala, because it sounds like que
Mala. These guys were saying it, and the white host gringos, they
were missing the point. So you look out for this. This is going
on. So I talked to him about this. I talked to him, but he
also mentioned to me that if you pronounce it a certain way,
Kamala also sound burn her. Mainly, it's the bad you know.
Who bad? What bad? You know, she's bad, whatever you know,
overall, how bad, how bad is, what detective is, how bad? So
how bad? How bad, how bad, which is what they don't want you
thinking. And so as I was talking to me, and I said, you
know, Trump, he says he makes the comedy. Says it's and he's
in Berkeley. He says, Yeah, it's really something meaning,
telling me that this Mexican turnout, and this, this, you
know, this Latino turnout, Chicano, whatever you want to
Unknown: call him, what's happening.
You know what it is. I want to be a whale psychiatrist. It
drives the whales freaking crazy. Something happens with
them, but for whatever reason, they're getting washed up,
unsure and you know, and yet the environment is ignored by the
environment. They don't talk about
it. Kamala Mala
Bucha Harris, Kamala
