the countdown. We'll see you Sunday, May 31.
Adam curry John C. Dvorak. Oh yeah, it's time for episode
number 100 of your gizmo nation publication. It is the 31st this
is no agenda is no agenda coming to you from a beautiful I mean
stunningly beautiful Amsterdam, the Netherlands right on the
canals with the sun streaming in. It's still Gitmo though. I'm
Adam curry.
And from an overcast northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C.
Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
That was like that. Yeah, it is the morning
where you are. It's the morning that was like it's always the
morning on
a real long foreplay, and then almost premature ejaculation.
Well, at least you got the thing running an hour late. We're,
if we really suck so bad, everybody how you doing? It's no
agenda episode number 100. Good to be with you. I'm very
excited.
Why interject? Yes,
please.
We have a bunch of people that have written in saying there was
no episode 22 And this is not really episode 100.
Yeah. And you know what? Amy Winehouse is really important.
Just saying, Yeah,
did we not do an episode 22 What happened?
I don't know. But that doesn't make any difference. Because
since we had the one expurgated episode, this would still be
episode 100. No matter what. But it's still this will be a
controversial episode. 100
Oh, because of the of the count. It's almost a
count and because of the show that we we put in the can and
never release here
right now. We didn't put it in the can. Oh, I did in the trash
can. And then I emptied the trash. It's gone. The bits are
gone. There's no record ever anywhere. Except for the second
half. You have the second half of episode. The last episode,
right,
right. Last episode. So we will call it 100. Seems like a good
idea. We had to be introduction.
Yeah, that was good. And we've got a new jingle by the way,
which was sent to us by our good buddy, the Jeff Smith. You want
to hear it? Sure. It's really for later on in the show. But
that'll give me a chance to play it twice. So listen to this.
Once again, to help support no agenda, my friends. Help Adam
and John keep the show going on to drop a coin in the bucket
today. Hey, Ed DeVore act.org/in A. You could even be knighted.
What you say
Jeff Smith man you slay me. I love that. Fantastic. So of
course we'll play that later when we beg for money. So John,
how you doing? Okay, yeah, I'm really happy with the setup. I'm
I'm in a new undisclosed location. And the band
it sounds good. Breaking up
a lot. Now the bandwidth is spectacular.
Well, anything's better what you had. Although you were supposed
to get the Virgin stuff which should never pan out the Virgin
stuff. Yeah, you said virgin broadband or so. Um, well, you
know, all jacked up about I was reading about it today they said
they were gonna get 200 megabits per second to some parts of
England. Yeah. And they actually hooked anybody up.
Um, yeah, the 50 megabits per second. I think people hook up
to that. That's what I never got. But I'm kind of happy I
didn't get it because you know, now I'd be paying for half of it
not using it. So.
So I guess in real news, Susan Boyle lost.
I'm sorry, I didn't follow it. Gee, who will? Who won who won
up winning the Britain's Got Talent? John? Hello.
I think you lost me.
Yeah. It's like we invited Murphy in and he hit us on the
head. Yeah, I lost you. Who won? Who won?
I don't know. I don't watch the British version. All I know is
that she lost and it was a big deal. There was oh, that's so
sad. Although it I'm convinced the whole thing was rigged.
Last night they had the night last night, Friday night, they
had the Dutch finals of Holland's Got Talent. And
everyone was very disappointed with a winner, which is kind of
funny. That Britain's Got Talent would also be not the not the
clear, favourite. So maybe that's part of the format. Now.
It also I do know that, that some of these people who do very
well, in the preliminaries know they get picked up early with
record contracts. And some of them are actually very happy.
They don't win, like, Oh, please, can I be number two? Can
I be number two, so they don't have to, you know, buy into the
Simon Cowell contract. Next, they have a right a real deal.
And that is not one of those strangulation deals,
right where you have to and you have to go on the road. And you
have to take part in the Oh, you have to do
that. Regardless, no matter what kind of contract you have. No
matter what kind of contract you have, I mean, these days. And
one of the what do they call it another 360? Deals? Are you
familiar with this? No. Yeah, we had a meeting in New York, by
the way, I'm smoking tobacco, nothing spiking it up still 100%
clean and enjoying it. I'm not funny anymore, but I feel much
better.
That's interesting, because you never were funny, ah
a 360 deal is the new thing. I think Madonna was one of the
first to have a 360 deal. But we had a meeting in New York with a
Warner Music Group, and they were explaining it to us. And
the way it works is usually the the it used to be the record
company would have peace of the publishing. You know, obviously,
the record sales, the digital sales, but now the 360 deal,
which means you know, 360 degrees, they get a piece of
concerts, merchandising, firstborn, all that stuff. And
it still, believe it or not, is still not enough to justify the
amount of money that goes into promoting an artist and making
him you know, a hit artist. So they're desperately looking for
other avenues to make money.
Don't they keep tapping the person I mean, they'd love my
understanding is, you know, if you're going to put the
promotion money behind somebody that the artist ends up having
to pay that back anyway. Right?
Well, the artist gets an advance typically. So the artist will
have to sign like a seven record deal, which of course, rarely is
that ever completed, which means you're on the hook for seven
records. So you're, you're a slave for the rest of your life.
So you get maybe, depending on how hot you are, depending on
what you know, how good your lawyer is, etc, is kind of like
a VC deal. You know, there's a standard term sheet and if you
sign that you're willing truly effed. So they'll give you
100 $100,000 advance, and then you get statements. And they'll
say, Okay, you sold this many records, congratulations. So
we'll deduct that from the 100 Grand Oh, and by the way, the
limo, the hotel, the food, the hookers the blow, we're
deducting that too. So all that stuff that you think is cool
that you're being Oh, and his record company really takes care
of it, you're actually paying for that as the artist. And at
the end of the day, you get, I think it's 4% over PPD, which is
I forget what it stands for. But it actually equates to about 1%
of the retail sales is what the artists will get with a standard
record contract. Not very exciting.
Now. Well, book deals are like that, too. They have the same
thing. You get these statements. It's like what does this mean?
And they and you look at it, it's like wow, you know, who got
the software to produce these documents? Bernard Madoff, I
think so and then of course, they've standard deal with book
publishers is they tried it I mean, they there's a thing that
is out there called the dummy contract which you know, nobody
whether book publisher or a podcast or musician, anybody you
know, they always say the first contract that they throw at us
is internally called the dummy contract because only a dummy
signs it and but a lot of people sign it because they're so
anxious to get publisher. They're so anxious to you know,
do a deal. So they'll sign these stupid had contract and they'll
have cross collateralization in there and everything. So in
other words, if you have a book that, say do a couple of books,
and one of them doesn't do very well, and you they make you do a
third book, and they suck all the royalties from the third
book to pay the advance on the second book, when in fact, you
should not let that happen, right. But anyway, that's it.
I'm always amused there was actually an agent in during the
heyday of computer books. There's actually an agent who
shall remain nameless, but everybody knows who he is. Who
would.
Who is it? O'Reilly?
No, O'Reilly is not an agent. He's a publisher. Oh, agent,
Swifty. Lazar. Now is some guy you've never heard of
him. Well, you said everybody. You said everybody would know
who he is? Well, I'm
wrong. Why can't you tell us? I just don't feel like okay.
Because I can't do it. Because what I'm going to assert may not
be absolutely a fact.
Okay. Do you hear the the boats going by in the canal? By the
way? No.
You don't hear? No. Okay. They are. You have a good mic, which
shouldn't be picking up all that sound. So you have shown up on
your Vu metre that is?
Yeah, of course it is. Yeah. But you know, I'm in a new studio,
which I'm in the process of building. It's my temporary
home. I have a new home. Did you know that? Yeah. I have. It's it
has three rooms. They all look the same. Each has four wheels
and a handle.
There's a gag in there somewhere. I'm trying to decide
if my suitcases
Oh, I get it. I'm living in my suitcases.
And get it. Yeah. So anyway, so the deal was this guy
essentially sold a lot of computer books. But he did it by
getting these authors to sign the dummy contract. So there was
like an advantage to him, because all the publishers just
love this guy.
So of course, thanks. Thanks for setting that up, dude. So
anyway,
excellent. Dummy contracts. Be careful. Be very careful. That's
it, show's over.
Now. Now I got lots to say. First of all, I want to thank
all of our producers slash listeners who were based upon
the, the news that I talked about, and then in no agenda 99
have sent me beautiful emails with advice. Because I said, you
know, hey, you know, I'm, I'm in separation. And I've, you know,
there's a third innocent party, our daughters involved, and
everybody had said pretty much the same thing, which is good,
because I believe in repetition. But the the reactions have been
really, really quite sweet. And I appreciate it. And if I
haven't responded to you, personally, I will get to it.
It's just been so much. It's been a bit overwhelming. So that
out of the way, I've started a legal proceeding here in the
Netherlands, which is always fun. Would you like to hear
about that? What's it involved? Creative Commons copyright.
You got? Well, did you have to sue somebody again?
Well, I had to threatened so I flew back from New York, I
actually flew straight to Amsterdam. And a couple of
people had had collected all of the various publications
regarding my my personal stuff. And so what I usually do, it's a
perfect laxative, by the way gossip rag. So you know, come
in, you know, it's like, okay, take off my coat. Well, I think
I'll just go sit down and have a nice little, nice little
business on the in the bathroom here. And so I open up this
first magazine, and I'm like, Whoa, wait a minute. And there's
a picture that I took while flying of me in the plane by
myself with well, it was a tobacco. You know, I smoked
tobacco. I've
seen this picture. It's on Twitter. It's on Flickr. Flickr.
Exactly. So it looks like a joint but it's not. Yeah,
because you roll your own tobacco cigarettes. You're like
an old man. Yeah.
Yeah, that's what that's why this show works so well, between
the two of us. So yeah, and it's not it's not even lit, actually.
But you know, it's a picture and I'd say,
wait a minute, it looks like you're flying and smoking dope.
Yeah, but I'm not.
I'm flying and smoking tobacco, which is perfectly okay. Because
my aircraft has ashtrays. That's what they're for. And, but this
is from my Flickr account, and I got a check. So I go and check.
Yeah, it says non commercial attribution. So this is exactly
the same thing in 2006. I took a different gossip rag to court
because they published a whole bunch of pictures off of Flickr.
And they had some bonehead excuse like, well, it said
download here and we didn't look it wasn't clear, but it's very
clear. And by the way, any professional print organisation
should understand that something has to be checked. You can't
just rip shit off of the web. And although I did not win any
cash sell filament as requested in that original lawsuit, the
court the Dutch court did say, well, the copyright holds up if
it happens again. Here's the set fine, which I believe was 1500
euros per.
Yeah. That horn for repeating a story that you sound every time
I mentioned something twice. There we go.
Okay. So it was a, actually that has changed a little bit, I
found out because I called my lawyer I said, Yo, G, time to
get back to work, because obviously, you cannot just let
it slide. If you don't protect your copyright every single
time, then you can actually run into some problems. Yep. So he
said, You know, it's interesting, because now, the
way the law is written, you can actually charge up to 5000
euros, and you can sue for any legal costs. So which to date
are estimated, you know, one phone call, of course, that's
1500 euros, you know, how lawyers work. I hate my lawyer,
by the way with a passion, because they're just horrible
people. And he said, he said, Okay, you know, what are your
what do you want me to do? I said, Well, let's add a twist to
it, send them a letter and say to them, okay, you're in
violation. But I'm not going to take you to court, if you will
send 5000 euros to to the War Child Foundation, and 1500, or
whatever it is, whatever the legal costs are to you to the
lawyer. So so that's what he sends off. And then this thing,
like, of course, I'm already in the press, press, this thing
hits the press. It's on all the gossip news shows. And the
editor of the magazine is like, No, man, that's not true. This
was newsworthy, because everyone knows he's a stoner so we can
put we can know, that's like fair use, we can put that
picture on because he was a smoking dope and his plane. And
these guys are just so he
turned Canadian halfway through. Yes, it's a Dutch Canadian
editor. It's not. So anyway, what he said, and this was last
Friday, is that Oh, see you in court? I'm like, Okay, we'll go.
And so I emailed Lawrence Lessig, who, of course, I worked
with six years ago, three years ago in 2006. On the previous
case, and, and so he's like, yeah, he doesn't really need to
do anything, but he's going to provide support. He did send me
a nice note. He said, Adam, are we gonna just have a beer
together? And and not be about some shit that you're causing
over there? So protecting copyrights for everybody once
again,
huh? Well, that's interesting. Well, we'll see, I guess, is
that the best they can do? Go to your Flickr account and steals
photos and then claim that they're like, you know, with no
context, and they don't know anything. It could have been,
you could have been on a soundstage for all they know
exactly. Oh, and but they actually are now going on
television saying, Well, clearly, the guy's flying stone,
his licence should be taken away. I'm like, Jesus, how dumb
can you be? I mean, is that is that all you have to say? But
they're calling for they're calling it fair use? And like,
Dude, this is, how can you even even if it was true,
is there a slander suit there? Yeah, but that's
the shit. I don't want to get into that. I think there's a big
dough there. There's no money in a John. There's no money.
There's no money in Holland for slander. Please give me a break
in Britain, maybe in Britain, but not. That's interesting.
Could I take a Dutch tabloid to court in a UK court for slander?
I don't know. Maybe they're libel? Yeah,
I haven't I have no time for that. But I
all I want mine is millions involved, the show could use the
money.
Speaking of money, and you know, here we are, you know, nickel
and diming, our listeners and producers for money for the no
agenda library, the Bush Library in 100 days, then, of course,
our entire model is based on the Bush Library, because it's such
a wonderful project, raised $100 million. What is this thing? Is
this going to be made of gold? Like, like, are they like the
golden
light version worse, and they keep most of those numbers under
wraps? Because it seems to be a lot of money from Saudi Arabia.
You know, if we would just be more amenable to Saudi Arabia,
we'd probably be an easy street.
Well, actually, the the article ends from times as Bill
Clinton's library planners had hoped to receive pledges of $100
million within a year of the end of his presidency, but
apparently a pardons scandal delayed that achievement for
another year. I didn't know that it took him that long and
well, you know, it takes time sometimes.
Anyway, so unburdened by campaign finance regulations,
former presidents traditionally raise money for their libraries
the old fashioned way by meeting or calling a few dozen very
wealthy benefactors asking for large sums, often the order of 5
million to 10 million, but the bush effort involves that
approach, but in other ways is organic. We listen Listen,
listen, organise, much like a modern political campaign. A
national finance committee has been created with 100 co chairs
Place in every state. What is what is going to be in this
library? Is it like
comic books? Yeah. I don't know. I don't get some television
sets. I have no idea. It sounds like a lot of money could have
been used by one of the real library to you know, yeah.
Thank you very much like real books for like kids, perhaps you
can go there and read stuff for free. Yeah, that does not just
mean what is that? Is it like, kind of like a tax free
retirement fund for Bush and he uses that money or maybe he
builds a library and Paraguay,
he's gonna need a lot of money. Now, just as some sort of a
club, it's a scam. I don't know. I have no idea. I mean, the Bush
Library is ridiculous. Yeah, for real. All right, million
100 million in 100 days, though, in 100 days. That's a
million dollars a day. That's what you call. That's the show.
That's what I call. Mom has not stopped campaigning for money.
He was just in Los Angeles recently. I guess doing another,
you know, some $1,000 A plate dinner or whatever it is for his
campaign? Is this guy actually ever going to do any
presidential stuff?
I still I keep getting email from Barack obama.com. Oh, you
have the
mailing list? Yeah. And they still ask for donations?
Yeah. What did he need donations for? He's won the election?
I don't know. I think it has something to do with what the
project America or whatever, you know, the the big. Everybody
pitch in and, and you know, volunteer for something?
You Yeah. And volunteer your money while you're at it? Yeah.
I don't know.
Silvio Berlusconi. In the news, the prime minister of Italy that
you heard about this?
No, I'm sure I have. But what
he is facing fresh and embarrassing revelations after a
magazine claimed he held a New Year's Eve party for 50 young
girls. But here's the here's the kicker. He said it was I gotta
find it. He said it was like a political training exercise. And
they learned all kinds of very important skills. Like debating.
This guy is great. If I if I could ever be the prime minister
of any country, I would totally model it. My prime my my
premiership on him.
Yeah, no, that guy's a winner. Totally. Although he's
supposedly going to be under indictment someday.
No way. Now he changed the laws he got elected. And then he
changed the laws that he said that any offences offences he
committed he can't be indicted for
No, that's a pretty slick thing to do. You personally, like you
know, Gerald Ford, pardoning Richard Nixon kind of thing.
Exactly.
Who did didn't Bush do like almost no pardons when he left
was not really Yeah, no, he was like the one
of the lowest ever why? That's just a few people that didn't
make any sense. And people who probably could have been or
should have been pardoned. He just said that screw it. I don't
know. The guy's nutty.
Humboldt County, California voters passed measures, F and J.
I guess that was a referendum measures last November
prohibiting military recruiters from initiating contact with
minors. However, the Obama administration is now demanding
that law be overturned.
Give me that one again.
Okay, let me pull up the SF Gate. Humboldt County,
California passed measures F and J last November. So I guess
that's a in a referendum.
I presume? I guess I don't know
prohibiting military recruiters from initiating contact with
minors. I eat Oh, yeah. To get get all hot for the military.
Right. And when a kid you can shoot a gun. Yeah. Awesome.
Hayes. Screw those video games. Try out the real deal. But now
the Obama administration is demanding the law be overturned.
June 9, Oakland California court hearing scheduled.
The Obama administration wants to overturn and militaristic
these people.
Yeah. Hey, kids, you get an armband just for showing up to
the rally.
So yeah, well, you know, I'd like to turn all the 17 year
olds into fascists. So you were mentioning before we started the
show. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Yeah. And I said,
Have you ever skinned a cat? You said no, no but squirrel
squirrel. Yeah. And so the big news out of England coincidently
Oh no. demand growing for squirrel pie.
What after dandelion soup now we have squirrel pie.
Yes, a pest control. It is from the BBC, a pest controller who
has already helped a call more than 22,000 grey squirrels in
the Northeast is moving south to feed the demand for squirrel
pie. You are what you eat. And by the way, Paul Parker 40. Far
from New Castle, part of a conservation group. Apparently
they've almost gotten rid of all the grey scrolls up north. And
it seems that all the gourmet restaurants for someone right I
have never picked up on this trend. But it guests squirrel is
like a big deal. They're going to top restaurants butchers, the
working man. They are a delicacy. According to this guy.
You know, you haven't heard
about this. No. And I'm amazed we've had so much interesting
restaurant news recently, you know, cooking and lukewarm
water.
Cooking, cooking and by the way, somebody datagridview we
mentioned somebody died recently. I didn't hear this.
Yeah, there was a death death in an English restaurant recently.
And I can't seem to figure out why. And some women keep winning
their whole the whole party got sick. And just one woman who
went in for a birthday I believe they ended up dead. And I'm
thinking you know, it sounds like Suvi to me.
Is that what it's called? I forgot cvwd
Shu v. So U S. vi d E. hyphenated. Let me just read is
more quotes from this guy. Two years ago, I was catching up to
1000 Squirrels a month and slowly it just dwindled down to
a small handful a day. The RSP P which I guess is some group that
I don't know what it stands for florals. Somebody's Gross was
formed in 2006 by Parker and Midford the six the Baron of
Ridsdale. It relies on a six or 900 strong army of volunteers
including Game Wardens, families, farmers and
pensioners. To help stop the spread of the greys they're
actually trying to they're trying to get rid of the
squirrel I guess. And they're just eating them.
That's one way but is it funky? I mean, we got the dandelions we
got the warm, warm water baggy salmon. We've got to squirrel is
are we being prepared for you know, the stuff we're actually
going to be left to eat after the entire global economy
collapses, which
seems to be the case we should all move to France because
they're French. I have a book. It's a great book. And anyone
who ever sees a copy of it came at the University of North
Carolina Press. It's called unmentionable cuisine.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the author's name offhand. But
anyway, it's a outstanding work is called unmentionable cuisine.
And it's a cookbook for cooking all kinds of weird stuff from
insects to squirrels to rats.
And I'm not against that, by the way, because I think there's a
huge stigma against rats or squirrels.
By the way, this thesis of the thesis of the book is that
there's a lot of protein out there, that goes on eaten
on the I'm a celebrity, get me out of here show which airs in
Britain, and it's different around the world. But the
British one actually puts, you know, D liberties and some, you
know, minor C, and maybe even be liberties into the jungle for
either two or three weeks. And they have to do all these
trials, and one of them is called the bushtucker trial. And
it consists of eating a number of horrible things, or a
seemingly horrible thing. So there's the witchetty grub,
which is a kind of like a, it's like a really thick caterpillar.
And it's alive and you bite into it, and it just kind of spews
out this goo you remember that? That chewing gum that you when
you when you bite down on it, it kind of like squirts out the
minty goo in your mouth. You probably know other things that
squirt in your mouth, but really, the witchetty grub is
alive and it's supposed to taste nutty. And the whole thing is,
these are what you either Aboriginals or Aborigines, I
guess I say or, or guys in the outback. They eat this shit all
the time because it's extremely healthy for you lots of protein,
but the whole idea of in the western society is that it's
disgusting. And honestly, it looks pretty gross and you're
eating a live thing. So there's that there's worms. There's the
other stuff. The best one, of course, is always the kangaroo
anus. And then there's I think there's maybe also kangaroo
testicle, which kind of pops when you bite on it. But these
are things that people have eaten throughout centuries. And
we for whatever reason, and I'm not even sure why we just find
that the whole idea disgusting and you know, we'd much rather
have a nice healthy Big Mac.
So what was the point of that? A joke.
Well, there wasn't a joke that I'm trying to start.
I should know somebody that's great. Yes, I nipple of a woman
that's breastfeeding. So
I've tasted breast milk.
Yeah, have you so had so
come on let's go back to when you're when your wife had had a
kid tell me every
single personal habit. So let's go into
if it's a habit that's a real problem if it was a one it's
okay you can you can you can mention it John, let's go back
well you got to start smoking real stuff. So let's go back to
this it's disgusting because it is disgusting. eating bugs and
things that squirt in your mouth and and caterpillars and things
that are growing but it's
but it's okay grow It's okay. Cows time to speak from
experience but in fact you're trying to defend I mean, I think
it's fine if you're culturally into that but I think we're not
we're not programmed to eat this garbage so
all I'm okay so all I'm saying is I find it interesting that I
think the cultural differences are interesting. And why is it
that we that one culture finds it totally disgusting and the
other is okay with it and maybe they find a
big thing was how can you how can you find it the you know,
okay to caution swear on the air? Yes, I find it extremely
offensive the way I hold a fork when I'm trying to grab
something I really have to hold down I
don't find it offensive. I just find it humorous and it's even
it's even more go
oh my god, the fork the way you're holding it. This is not
right. And new.
It's not right. Or what do I do wrong? What do I do wrong? Well,
you
have your the upside down fork eater. You know people like you
know, the Europeans eat with their left hand and with the
fork they never change it like American I change I switch all
the time always upside down. It's got you read the logo on
the back. It was me upside
down. I didn't know there was a right side up.
It seems to me that the fork pointing into curved down. So
when you pick up a piece of food, it's going to fall off the
fork as opposed to being flipped over. So the so the food would
actually let me know. Let
me let me let me switch gears you were in Amsterdam recently.
And you did a tour of a number of restaurants and I ate
somewhere yesterday that you really they really screwed you
over in Amsterdam, a fantastic eating experience. And I want to
share it with you because I went there with my daughter and
Dexter or a boyfriend. It's called the college and it's
beautiful. It used to be a school obviously a college and
it is now a it's a full fledged restaurant and it's it's almost
like like a Santro pay vibe. You know beautiful place out back
you can sit outside it has the black wicker chairs really
comfortable. No kind of cool, chill, mellow music floating
around. And actually the place we've seen lots of beautiful
people with gold chains and, and big sunglasses. Now the food is
outstanding. But here's the kicker. The service is provided
by First Years hotel school students. So they are actually
learning on the job. You're paying full price for real food
because the chef is not a student the chef is you know,
it's a good chef. I like the food at least. So that it turns
into entertainment. John, you would love this because they
like dropping cokes in people's laps they're delivering soup
without a spoon. I mean all this stuff and then at the end it's
like okay, you want to sign the check with your credit card and
they hand you a pencil I mean it's this wonderful experience
you must go to this restaurant college and Amsterdam
Okay, um their next Queens day so the next queens that we have
to rent the barge
Yeah, Mickey will take care of that for us.
So anyway, let's let me go over something I wanted to mention
about there's a store of a group of stores here in Holland I'll
mention this called a Hema How do you pronounce it? Yes. Hema,
Hema,
Hema H e ma Hey, Ma. It's kind of a low, like mid to low grade.
I will be comparable in the Marks and Spencer remind me No,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's it is below
way below Marks and Spencer. No.
All right, well, then that's where this is where I'm going to
tell my story. Okay. So there is
where I buy my underwear. That's what I'm going
to talk about. I'm wearing it right now. Oh, it's good. It's
where I
get my wife beaters.
So, in the 1970s I went to England and I met This girl who
was Anglo file and she gave me the lecture about how the ball
the English and everybody knows that the world's greatest
underwear is obtainable Marks and Spencer or marks and sparks
as they like to refer to it colloquially. And so that so
they and I liked it so I started buying advice I still probably
have a pair from back then that Marks and Spencer and I like to
get the kind of the jockey style briefs that don't really have
the elastic inside.
He won't tell me if he's ever tasted his wife's breast milk
but now you're going to tell me you were a jockey shorts, John,
horrible visual, but
it's a good example of you know, your European sensibilities.
It's not okay to talk about underwear, but it's okay to talk
about you know, personal it's
not okay to give us a visual of what kind of underwear you
just let me just finish the story and then you can moan
about it later. Okay. So anyway, so this this type of underwear,
which is the Marks and Spencers stuff was always the stuff I'd
always buy and I collected it was all ended, they still sell
it as like it gets repaired for about $10 or 10 euros. But over
the years, the quality has deteriorated to such a point
that if you wash them three times they elastic that's inside
that just falls apart and the things don't get to
disintegrates. Yeah, they're junk. Yeah. Compared to what you
can get in the 70s By the way, also in the 1970s it had Marks
and Spencer, you could buy T shirts that were wool.
Yeah, I think that's illegal, isn't it? Haven't they changed
the laws about that about T shirts? Illegal No, there are
they have special labelling. I don't know I don't know what I'm
talking about. I'm sorry. Continue.
So anyway, so I've you know, tried to find some substitute
for these pet these undescended were and it turns out that Hema
has pretty much the same stuff they were selling in England in
the 1970s is exactly the same it looks probably made by the same
user good quality cotton you like some Egyptian cotton has
got a nice, soft feel. And it seems to be a well made product.
But what was interesting to me and so I bought some because I
usually travel to
Europe, I think because they make you look so hot. Yeah.
Yeah, right. And so, but the thing that's, that was
fascinating to me, wasn't the fact that somebody else makes
this exact kind of underwear. It's three pair. Were three
euros Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's like instead of why why am I paying
for your euros for the crap that the Marks and Spencers guys make
now, per when I could get like a euro is like, I still kept
looking at the price and saying this must be some sort of an
error. Maybe they they package it this way and sell it for some
other money. I mean, it just made no sense to me that the
stuff was it was so cheap. Well, so I bought a whole bunch of
stuff at the SEMA store because everything there was like dirt
cheap place. Yes,
I know. So I have been looking for the perfect underwear for
years and I'm talking underwear and undershirts and I like
wifebeaters and, and I've tried every brand Dolce Gabbana Armani
you name it, and either they you know, they fall apart, they
start to disintegrate, they fade or they totally lose their lose
their softness but and you know, she's she's very angry at me
right now. But I have to give props to my ex mother in law.
She started buying me under shirts and underwear from Hema,
and I love them and you can wash them 50 times and they still
feel great. And they cost a dime. Exactly the Euro a year.
It's the price that stunning Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know how that works. But so you are a
briefs guy jockey briefs like really tighty whities? Is that
what you were John,
I don't wear why I wear black. Oh, right. Now the reason we're
black is a long time ago, I heard Fred Astaire talk about
this. He says you have to wear black underwear because of
shaking. In the worst case scenario if your pants tear
which can happen, especially if you don't no one's ever going to
notice my mom
would say if you're in an accident, and they have to cut
open your pants. You don't want your soiled underwear showing
like Mom, I think I'll have different problems if they're
cutting my pants open when I'm on the ground bleeding.
Oh, that's an old thing. Everybody says that. But the
point is, the only point I'm trying to make here is not what
kind of underwear I'm wearing or anything like that. It's that
Hema, or hammer, whatever your few months at FEMA Ema is a
place to buy this stuff because it's cheap and fantastic. The
quality is outrageously good. And it's like now that's it.
That's where that's my place. So that's the I think definitive
underwear since
since I am here. I'll be gone on Thursday but I will be coming
back with some regularity. I believe that we can probably
consider replacing the $100 donation. No agenda flatware
with some Hema underwear. I think that would be a fine
premium.
Yeah, would let's do it. I mean, it's this underwear is the like
I said But the thing that's interesting is that the fact
that they price it. Well, that's
why I mentioned it because you know, it's much cheaper than the
flat. Yeah. Oh yeah, that's true if we get to keep more
so anyway, I wanted to get that out of the way and what else we
got here? Oh, you
have notes.
I have a bunch of stories. Oh, look, I've
got stories too, but I'm liking yours.
Well, let's go with this one. Okay. This took place in Seattle
just the other day Friday as a matter of fact, now, a dead on
zombie costume gets man arrested a man dressed for an evening
zombie crawl, chose a costume that was a bit too realistic and
it ended up getting him arrested. The question of course
is why was he arrested?
What's zombie crawl? What's a zombie crawl?
They have. Apparently in Seattle where there's really not a lot
of other things to do. People get dressed up as zombies and go
bar hopping
after they've been to your Port Angeles deli, wearing less to do
with getting more digs, wearing all black knee pads and a gas
mask and carrying what looked to be a machine gun. He walked into
the Metro clothing store Friday evening on Capitol Hill, which
was sponsoring the zombie crawl to promote the cryptic con
horror convention at the Seattle centre next weekend. Apparently
someone thought a masked gunman was walking in a store and
called police witnesses say a dozen police car converged on
the scene and officers ran at the store guns drawn Oh man. So
then they took the golf and they arrested were they arrest him
for never says
well, if you had a gun that looked like a machine gun,
that's that's probably an issue. Maybe he should have not had the
gun. Oh, even the gas mask I think is probably an offence in
our fascist state. Might be Yeah. Dexter and Christina and
Patricia were flying over on Thursday because she had it was
going to do the show live on Friday. And so they were in the
queue as one does in the United Kingdom for check in. And Dexter
was responsible. Christina's boyfriend was responsible for
the big black bag. And but he was running because the queue
was pretty long so was running off to get a soda or something
but he'd come you know, he'd come back from time to time. And
well he actually I think he thought Christina would push the
bag along but she didn't until the queue moved up, patrician
Christina moved up with the bag stayed and they called security
people like I saw the bag vibrating people freak out with
the smallest things now because we know we've been made so
afraid of terrorism it's about time for a good terrorist attack
you know they got to the end of the year do you think so? Is
that your your
eight year cycle cycle Terry
Exactly. Oh, this is the eighth or is the eighth coming up?
This is the eighth it but it'd be the end of day it'd be like
September 2009. So investors beware because it'll drop the
stock market like a champ
well, and that fits right in with the with the year after,
which is another cycle you're tracking and doesn't isn't it
turns out that you get caught up in these cycles. There's too
many of them. Here's another story. Hit me apparently brazen
New Zealand parrot. Now this is just a warning for EU
travellers. You're gonna go to the South Island of New Zealand,
which is where I've been wanting to go for years. There's a type
of parrot that looks like he's stolen. That's parrot likes to
attack cars and eat and take delight in attacking rubber
items like windshield wiper blades. But this guy apparently
had his passport stolen by the parrot who flew off with it into
the bushes and then now the guy's gonna have to be stuck in
New Zealand for six weeks until he gets a replacement
six weeks for replacement passport. Replacement passport
from
the British High Commission in Wellington could take six weeks
and cost up to $250 Wow
that's pretty outrageous.
The key add the world's only snow line dwelling parrot are
widely known as inquisitive birds.
You know, I think that actually qualifies John. And now back to
real.
Okay, got a better one then. All right. This is a good one. To
murderers escape Arkansas prison in guard uniforms. Now, the
punch line is in here. I'm just going to read it. By the way.
These are two convicted murderers that were on the
store sounds like a Laurel and Hardy movie.
It's getting their two convicted murderers put on a corrections
officer uniforms and walked out of an Arkansas prison during a
shift change. Officials said Saturday as they search for the
men Jeffrey grinder and Calvin Adams escaped Friday evening
from the Cummings unit prison in Grady more than three hours
before officials realised they were missing. Both men were
serving life sentences without parole. possibility of parole at
the prison about 60 miles southeast of Little Rock the
guard uniforms to prison inmates put on are made in the prison.
That's the punch line. Oh my god. And did they catch you? Are
they are they still?
These guys are gone? Oh no. I mean if you're like in prison
without possibility of parole for life
and all you have to do is make a uniform
making uniforms you're out of there.
Following an explosive report, let's some of the torture photos
President Obama is withholding depicting graphic sexual abuse.
The Department of Defence in the White House came out to
vigorously refute the claims. But here's what's interesting,
and I didn't have time to pull the sound clip. Press Secretary
Robert Gibbs at bonehead who speaks on behalf of the White
House. He says quote, I don't want to speak generally about
some reports I've seen over the past few years in the British
media. And in some ways I'm surprised it filtered down.
Let's just say if I wanted to read if I wanted to read a write
up of how Manchester United fared in the Champions League
Cup, I might open up a British newspaper. If I was looking for
something that bordered on truthful news. I am not entirely
sure British papers will be the first stack of clips I picked
up. So this guy is he's this bonehead. This is real. It's a
dumb move. You do not insult the entire British press Done. This
is the dumbest thing this guy could ever do.
Alright, let me get back to real news. Since we're talking about
squirrels, Jesus, it just a little short article from Port
Huron, Michigan. A brazen squirrel has been grabbing small
American flags placed in a Port Huron cemetery and carrying him
up to its nest, which now looks like it's bedecked in funding.
As a terrorist squirrel for sure.
You just a patriot, that squirrel? Have you
been we haven't looked at the economy very closely in any of
the recent recent episodes, John. And I've kind of honestly
I kind of lost track. But it seems like we're we're printing
more and more money or, or hoping for inflation one way or
the other. Now I read that the US is giving $100 billion to the
International Monetary Fund, we don't have $100 billion. We just
print it. And you're all for this practice.
Until until it shows up as a bad idea. Yeah.
And you know, we're still saving or creating millions of jobs,
which is not really working. The unemployment keeps rising.
Well, it's supposed to keep rising. And until probably the
third fourth quarter.
This is the this is what I don't get I keep hearing economists.
You know, first it was the green shoots that we're talking about
the green shoots of the recovery. But now, Bernanke of
the Federal Reserve, and some serious economists are saying,
Oh, it's gonna recover. And we'll be good by the end of 2009
and 2010. It's all going to come back. I mean, I don't understand
how it happens. We've gone Pat, we are we've spent more money
than ever in our history.
Yeah, just the business cycle.
I don't see how you can be so so calm about it. I mean, it's your
grandchildren's money that's being spent dude to business
cycle. When you're in a business cycle.
It's good things go up, things go down.
No, but the amount of money that is being spent that we are on
the hook for
we just we just reset everything at some point. Well, how do you
reset it?
Okay, go ahead. Well, I
mean, you reset it all of a sudden, you know what, you reset
it
by devaluing the dollar? Yeah, well, but that's bull. That's
like,
you have to do what would you suggest?
Well, I think we're a little bit beyond the point of no return.
Now. Now there's no I wouldn't have spent all that money in the
first place. I'd let the the car companies go broke. They're
gonna go broke. Anyway, I would have led I would have not, you
know, handed out $3,000,000,000,000.02 bankers.
Bankers think was a bad idea. Yeah, well, yeah. To the tune of
$200. They never passed it along.
No, and no one's talking about that even anymore. We were so
snowed under by news of more money being spent at noon and
we're not even talking about that the banks of absolutely not
passing them on to anybody ever.
There's a really good day there was a good presentation by
Robert Reich, the petite male, the economists that used to be
in the Clinton administration that mean the petite male, have
chair I saw a petite male the other day my wife always harps
about these guys teeth
nails, like like like Sarkozy
is Sarkozy a bit hate mail. Well, his time is short. But it
is you not only just short but you're short and your your
proportion like petite like a petite woman, you know that
they're just small. And there's petite males, they're small. I
saw one the other day. And he's just a small guy. You know, he
was like, normal except for the fact that he was five foot two.
And you know what he was?
He's vertically challenged. So he was
small, but he was petite. He's not just short. Because a lot of
short guys that are in art. Do you think everything on the
guy's petite? I wouldn't know. And I wouldn't care to be honest
about it. But probably, but then again, you never know because a
lot of these petite males are very popular with women for some
unknown reason. So I have to wonder.
So we had a petite. It must be that Hema underwear.
In high school we had this guy who was a petite male now they
think about it. And he can always had he had more girls
this guy I don't know maybe there maybe it's some sort of a
novelty you know, there's there's a thing.
It's like a thing to do on the checklist before you die. You
have to
see that women do I can I'm totally I mean there's no doubt
about whether or not
you're gonna Okay, here comes the expert on women. Okay, John,
hit me now.
You tell me I'm gonna be wrong. Tell me after the fact. There's
a thing called a novelty fuck.
And John, you said the S word. I'm so proud of you.
What's the only way that you can describe it? And it's like you
know it's like you have women that just collect these I mean a
lot of people have always felt to all these girls. Exactly.
We're bill going after Bill Gates up at the Redman who is
awesome because he's the sexiest guy in the world but he's a
novelty fuck, you know I got the screw that world's richest guy.
Yeah.
Do you think Bill Gates actually cheats on Melinda Melinda was
there I have no
idea. And anyway, so that I think petite is maybe there's
something she you know, the petite male is obviously falls
into that category. Wow.
I had never thought about that. I don't think guys have that
type of checklist.
She does. We have a little choice in the matter. Exactly.
We just like hey, you'll actually screw me.
So here's a here's a story. Okay, this one is right up your
alley. We must we have to have a jingle for it. Here it comes.
Okay. You must be I can't believe you haven't heard this
one. I've been preoccupied. Russian scientist. Love it
already says UFO crashed into meteorite to save Earth. Dr. Uri
lab then president of
why they've been protecting us for ages. Absolutely.
Dr. Uri lab and president of the twin gustar spatial phenomenon
foundation that sounds like a space craft sacrifice itself to
prevent a gigantic Meteor from slamming into the planet above
Siberia on June 30 1908. And there was something that had
happened June 30 1908. We know that we don't know what it was.
The result was that the tune Gusa event a massive blast
estimated at 15 megatons that down to 80 million trees over
nearly 100 square miles. eyewitnesses reported a bright
light and a huge shockwave but the area was so sparsely
populated. No one was killed, was saying wood that they know
of. Most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite
exploding several miles above the surface. But Lavin thinks
that quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site or
remnants of an alien Control Panel, which fell to the ground
after the UFO slammed to the giant rock.
Well, you know, in the UFO community, and I've been known
to dabble in that from time to time there. You know, there is
certainly in the past five years, there is a general
consensus and that's only since I've been following it. But
there's a general consensus that until we are enlightened until
we have all gone through our transformation and become
loving, understanding human beings and no longer kill each
other for stupid shit. That the that aliens are indeed
protecting the earth and thus protecting civilization by doing
stuff like this. I mean, that that is certainly discussed in
UFO communities. So I'm not going to rule it out. I'd like
to see the control panel, that'd be kind of cool. Where's this
thing?
You know? That's the question. Where's this thing? Where's this
thing? I guess he's got it in his trunk.
Let me get back to some important news. You know, my
theory, which you seem to be buying into more and more that
the the what probably the sole reason if not one of the few
that we are currently in Afghanistan, which of course is
not where the Taliban are because they're in Pakistan and
everyone agrees on that, and Osama bin Laden is if he's
alive, he is not in Afghanistan. And of course, Afghanistan is a
place you can't win a war. The Russians tried it for 10 years,
and it's just unwinnable, you'll wind up killing all of your
soldiers and international forces refused to actually
participate with the United States. And my theory is that
this is because the United States is pretty much running
all the drugs out of Afghanistan, it is pretty well
documented that before the invasion of Afghanistan, the
Taliban itself had reduced the the, the production of poppy
down to a very minimal amount, and that that production has
gone up by one at least 100% Since we've been screwing around
there. A report from The Guardian, the communist
newspaper, I'll quote, United Nations officials in Afghanistan
are attempting to create a quote, flood of drugs in the
country. So now so now that everyone knows that, that all
these drugs are just like being built and we're protecting the
weed literally, our camps are surrounding the poppy fields to
make sure that they don't get screwed with now they're now
here's the cover up. So United Nations officials, these fine
people who brought you global warming in Afghanistan are
attempting to create a flood of drugs in the country intended to
destroy the value of the value of opium and forced Poppy
farmers to switch to legal crops such as wheat. I have, I'm just
so blown away by how brazen this lie is. Manual eradication is
incompetent and inefficient. So what the hell are we doing there
then? It's according to the UN ODC chief Antonio Maria Costa,
of course, an Italian name during a visit to the Western
Afghan province of Herat, so we want to see more efforts to stop
the flow of drugs across Afghanistan's borders. Well, all
you got to do is stop the military planes from flying it
out, dude. And they want it to it's the flood of drugs, they've
got a mean, the flood of drugs, if we just have lots of drugs,
the price will drop and it won't be worth it. And then people
will go make wheat, which is so incredibly valuable in the
marketplace. Wheat, we're going to make wheat more valuable than
opium. Please give us shozy. Yeah,
it seems unlikely. So why don't they take the argument to its
logical extreme and say the why we just legalise it.
Thank you. That's a good one. I hadn't even thought of that.
efforts have been further undermined by recent decree by
President Hamid Karzai, whose brother of course is a huge drug
dealer to close down small cross border markets, which had been a
source of economic activity in an otherwise barren wilderness.
What are we doing there? What can someone please send in send
me an email and tell me what exactly are we doing in
Afghanistan? I would really like to know I do.
Bin Laden.
Who was not even on the FBIs 10 most wanted list, and we've got
150 here. 150,000 young men and women there in harm's way to get
this douche please.
So another story about squirrels
You're killing me, baby. You're killing me. Is that a fractal?
Bin Laden squirrel.
A 21 year old how old man was the uninjured day when his
pickup truck rolled on its side after he swerved to avoid a
squirrel and hit a pole. Now why would anybody swerve? swerve
y'all did there's a rat in the road. Let
me swerve. It's an automatic reaction. I know not
for squirrels. Yeah, but you made the automatic reaction I
have is the gun.
Yeah, but you were Hema underwear. Black briefs black.
Absolutely. So Okay, your turn. Now what do you mean it's your
turn to chop the squirrel stories? I'm actually I'm loaded
up here.
Okay. Actually, I did have something see if I can find it.
Fill up the gap while I look for it.
Okay, here we go.
Don't tell me it's another squirrel story.
Trapped squirrel lino
charges of animal cruelty.
John is This is episode 100. This is like this is like
just squirrely episode. The owner of West Long Beach pest
control company has been charted. This is a this is a
beautiful story. This is from Central jersey.com The owner of
a West Long Beach pest control company has been charged with
four counts of animal cruelty. cruelty after a squirrel was
found dead in a rooftop trap. Oh no. What the heck is wrong with
these people? Victor buddy, a moto chief of the Monmouth
County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
charge Kathleen Buck owner of the critter Ritter. After
receiving a complaint about the dead animal at a professional
complex at 25 village court,
the critter Ritter. What's going on with the e cigarette? I see
there's stories all over the place about this thing if you
fall into anything going on about it. I don't know
anything about it. Tell me. Well, I
know. I know. I know what a cigarette is. I know what it is
because I have one. Have you seen these things? They were
invented in Holland.
Oh, this is the thing that lights up. Yeah, you got like a
blue ball on the end of it and it didn't smoke comes out of it.
Yeah,
it's pretty cool. Because you put a little it's a piece of
plastic looks like a cigarette. It has a little battery in it.
And you put a you put a filter into it. But the filter actually
contains nicotine and some other substance which I'm sure you'll
know from your former chemistry background. And then when you
you take a drag on the cigarette, the front lights up
like like a tip and it actually creates a misty type of steam
that you can inhale which is like 99% nicotine and the reason
that some steam some chemical that kind of makes it steamy, I
don't know what so it's not actual smoke and you're supposed
to get all the high but none of the death and okay, I see a
whole bunch of there's something that must be something going on.
Maybe the tobacco industry is trying to squash it or
something, but apparently it's much healthier. And of course
you could smoke it anywhere you want because it doesn't sound
healthy doesn't Well, you could wear nicotine patches I don't
think it's any more or less healthy.
Yeah, especially the chemical cloud. I think there's
no it's like mist. How do you like water vapours? What it is
oh, here it is smoke e cigs Hold on. I found a what is this?
Wolfram Alpha launch now that's not right. Wow, that looks cool.
What? I'm looking at the control room of Wolf, Wolfram Alpha, the
search engine
Ah, look at this instead of me second. Is it porn?
It's better than porn.
Russian passenger films strange UFO cool. Passengers on a
Russian airliner headed from Moscow to perm. filmed an
incredible and rather strange looking UFO just last night
Russia media published a story that workers in the city of
Sarah pool early morning witnessed a UFO which they
believe was the Russian rockets Soyuz. Our after reviewing the
footage from the facility analysts and experts believe it
is the same year for which was filmed later in the day by
airline passengers awards the picture.
pictures on there. No, it's not. Yeah, it's that thing. You click
on it. It's a movie. Which thing? Down at Bennett story?
No,
I'm looking at I'm reading the story, but I don't see any
there's no picture.
I don't know why I got one. So here it is. One of our producers
sent us in the electronic cigarette or e cigarette as an
alternative to smoke tobacco products. Blah, blah, blah. You
get an inhaled dose of nicotine by delivering a vaporise
propylene glycol nicotine solution that's healthy. That's
good. Yeah, yeah. So it's just one you know, just very
variation of of anti freeze, you know, one of the most toxic
substances. Really, is that what it is, you're kidding me? Well,
grande freezes ethylene glycol.
All I know is that because when you drag on the cigarette only
like the first 10 Because it'll last you you know, you bite into
pack these filters and have to change them out. And the first
10 drags on, it really gets a nice bowl of smoke in your
mouth. But then after that, it kind of diminishes. And I know a
lot of people who have who have really started tripping out on
the nicotine because it just like,
tried to be the goal. I mean, it's read you from potential
health effects of ethylene glycol may cause
gastrointestinal intestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting
and diarrhoea low hazard for industrial handling, blah, blah,
blah, may cause changes in surface e g, and can cause
I mean, these are the warnings that are on tampons. I mean, I'm

know I'm just messing with you.
I'm gonna read one more story story hit me. police beat may
28 2009. Is a blotter story. Caller advised of an injured
squirrel. No. The 500 block of Seventh Street the victim of a
dog attack police. Police picked up the squirrel. No, no is what
I'm reading. It's just like squirrel week I just
asked you did this just all happen like you have like a
Google alert on so I'm
telling you this is just a coincidence. May 28 This is when
this story this took place on make do this. How
do you lead? How do you get these stories?
My wife actually roofs are running into squirrel stories
the other day. And after we ran into the fact that they were
eating them in England. Yeah. And apparently just she'd
noticed there's a million squirrel stories all at once.
Well, maybe Thank
you very much for doing Jon's homework. We really appreciate
it.
Well, if somebody's doing homework. Let's see what we got
here more she want to hear another squirrel story. You
want to look really sick and tired of your squirrel stories.
And I think
people are gonna start only five more.
No. Did you give me the headlines? I don't need I don't
I don't choose one five headlines for about squirrels.
I'll choose one. I'll say no, no, please don't get it out of
your system. Now.
It takes too long. Go ahead. Any more screw up? Sorry, just
suggested
we should introduce the no agenda mutual fund. I like that.
Yeah, why don't we just rip people off? Mutual Fund
actually, you know, we could get Andrew Horowitz? Probably to
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Do we get to keep like to 10% fees? How does that
work?
Yeah, it depends on the fund. I mean, you can do it different
ways. Well, you know, Andrew and I are actually promoting the
idea of exchange traded funds nowadays as opposed to mutual
funds, which are getting out of vogue,
the so called ETF I'm going to end the show.
But we're not really sure.
Well, we're almost we're on time is almost there, man. We got
like, four minutes,
but I don't I can't do the desperate Russians turn to
spoiled food stories. Please
rocket no problem go.
Apparently, chi spoiled with mould of sausages or ominously
grey slime is beginning to overtake the chicken. This is
like apparently what's going on in Russia right now which I
guess we're not paying much attention to is that they're
eating garbage.
So can you give me the details on the story?
It's about it just goes on and on about some people he all
these people, elderly shoppers eating bad spoiled tainted food.
Well, so this is this flight? No, this is the mean this is
exactly what I said. It's the squirrels it's all the it's the
garbage. If someone's calling me. That's because we're being
prepared. And that's what we're doing the TV shows making people
eat bugs.
Yeah, we're being prepared because we're not going to
actually have any kind of healthy food. Nothing will be
available when the entire global economy collapses and I will be
licking my gold bar. I mean, that's basically where it's
gonna come down to. Or at least half of a gold bar that's
another story altogether.
You need if you need a good gold saw we'll get one off eBay.
