Who side are these people on? Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's November 11 2009. Time via Gitmo nation media assassination
episode 147. This is no agenda with the knowledge that it's
always in the morning somewhere and coming to you from the very
heart of Gitmo nation. Home to the Supreme Leader from Chicago.
I'm Adam curry,
from Northern Silicon Valley word Night has fallen, even
though it's in the morning someplace. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
And happy, Poppy, Day to you, John,
you will they have this thing going on in Canada, too? It
is. Well, first of all, Happy Veterans Day, you know, I come
from a long line of people who have served in the military and
other forms of government service. So Happy Veterans Day
to y'all
ppreciate. Allegedly, wherever the media office is open, then.
Is it is it a day went? Well, it's not a it's not a government
building yet.
It's a government holiday, the post postal guy wasn't working.
The banks were closed, I had to go to the bank today. Click
Click, click the bank was closed. You're such a bonehead
Pay By the way talking about that. So I'm watching the C span
like we do for
our, for our entire audience. Yes.
And I'm watching C span and they're discussing the you know,
the something or other. And it wasn't interesting, but they
said it. This is this is like he's on Tuesday of this week. He
said the Senate in the van. And the House representative will be
taking the rest of the day off on at noon on Tuesday to
celebrate tomorrow's holiday and there'll be off for the whole
week. You're shitting me? No. They took the whole week off.
Basically, they worked Monday and a half day Tuesday. And then
they're
off. That's an outrage. So what are they running on C span now
repeats?
No, they're running, you know? Yeah, we have not repeats but
you know, really vague committee meetings. There's one I was
watching this and what am I watching this for is about the
cemetery at Arlington and how they're going to finance it.
It's just terrible.
So it was pretty interesting that one of our producers
pointed out that Veterans Day falls on Poppy Day. And of
course, it hit me like a laser beam to the forehead. Like Oh,
of course, Poppy Day. This is the way they celebrate Veterans
Day in the United Kingdom. In fact, it is so such a national
scale that you can even buy they have these paper poppies, and
everybody wears them kids, old people, young people, and they
don't even know why. Obviously, they just like give me an
poppies. But How ironic. The irony is just outrageous that we
are celebrating Poppy Day, the actual plant that we are
guarding in Afghanistan for the harvest, which is any day now
once we get our 48,000 troops and can ship it all back
stateside and get it everybody. Hi, how ironic.
It's one of those little gags they like to play. They also
have these puppies for sale up in Canada was just an Edmonton
and the poppies are just like for the Royal Mounted Police
fund or something. But they sell them everywhere. This is like $1
you get new stick one right?
How can they get in the States? They thought it would be really
too blatant. If they did that in the States. Like come on, man.
We can usually
have something like that, but I can't. When I was a kid I
remember there used to be something like that. But they
just disappeared one day and I don't remember when or how much
about it anymore. It's just but they used to have something
similar. By the way we should introduce today's executive
producers
who was Oh yeah, that's right. We have more than one correct.
We have co executive producers because of the mouth. They gave
nice. We got okay with the first one is William Arcand. From
Drake at Massachusetts, and he actually gave us two donations
which totaled $311.10 rap.
Thanks, David.
William. Yeah.
Did I say William?
You said David, I think
William I'm sorry. I'm taking two to the head myself.
So William is one of the executive producers and he will
be mentioned and he can use it on his resume. And the other one
is Nelson conkel from Edwards, Colorado who gave us $250 And I
felt that they should be co executive producers and that's
where they're going to show up as two names on the website and
again, like they can put it on their resume they they finance
today's show
finance in its entirety pretty much and we highly appreciate it
John, would you please put those two names on the Skype for me so
I can put them in the show notes at no agenda? show.com Yeah,
because that because of course you have to put it on your
resume. You don't have to but I think it would behoove you to
put it on your resume. Hey, I produced or in a What's the
second owner's name?
I'm spacing today man Nelson Nelson
right so William William can put on his on his CV I was producer
of no agenda episode 147 and and of course then there's co
producer credit which is that's as good as producer credit and
it looks good on the resume you know, I think co producer credit
looks even maybe a little bit cooler because you know, it
means you didn't have to do all the work you just put the money
in
and each one of them did that much work you said well, you
have to go to the site. I got some woman in Russia who can't
get on the My divorce.org/na So I'm gonna have to put the link
someplace else even though I got it we got a donation Believe it
or not, we'll talk about it later. Oh, from Russia cool. But
this woman was also from Russia but she's from a different part
of Russia where they obviously have my my web address blocked
and this is being happening all over the world by the way the
internet is hardly what it was supposed to be.
Oh, of course. Oh, yeah. It's it's happening. A scam? i Before
we get into it i Two things I wanted to mention. One is some
feedback from one of our producers. Hey there Adam just
wanted to drop your liner to first of all love the show love
are you doing tell I'm telling. I tried telling my friend
friends and family about some of the stuff you discuss. And they
look at me like I'm crazy. Yeah, the Lisbon Treaty for example,
swine flu. Another example I'm even writing a paper in one of
my classes based around our shared views of the swine flu
conspiracy. However, I am a starving college student my only
sustenance being rice cakes and peanut butter, and the shitty
food they provide for us of the cafeteria, which actually has
laxatives in it mouthwatering, isn't it? I guess that's for
another show. I would love to donate just don't have the means
I'm sorry, hoped this emails encouragement will help you
morally Keep up the good work. And I'm sure to donate as soon
as I have the funds and other thing about a week ago I heard
John say his son was in favor of the RFID chip implants and that
quote, everyone Our age is hell no. I will never get one nor
allow any of my family members to get one. It's the most
perverted and egregious breach of civil liberties conceivable.
The day the government makes implanting chips mandatory is
the day I move into the woods of Washington State in a secluded
cabin. Ted Kaczynski, Sky style, minus all the bombings and
stuff. So I just wanted to Teddy Edwards to get a shout out
there, John. And just so you know, that they're not all like
your communist son. Well, there you have it. Who was doing a
fine job at Navy? Oh, by the way?
Yeah. He seems to be into the, you know, the my son's an intern
there. I know, just for people who want a little background. He
said, Well, he said, Can you get me an internship? And I said,
probably not. At first when I first thought I'm thinking, you
know, we pay our interns by the way. Yeah. And they pay well,
for interns, for sure. But anyway, and they usually end up
hiring, which I think is even more interesting. Yeah. But
anyway, the show I first immediately walked him over to
the production side of things, saying, Well, you know, he
probably wants to learn how to use the Tricaster. And he wants
to produce shows he wants to do this and that and, and it was
like, and I was talking to Nick about, well, I didn't probably
get him a spot. And then it dawned on me so what is he What
about wanting to put a kid in some no offense to you techies
technicians out there, what it really amounts to a dead end
job, and no future. And this kid he didn't even graduate summa
cum laude, something or other,
graduated summa cum something but anyway, so now, so I said, I
thought that said wait a minute, what about mooting? Because
Because the real future for does a recommendation for people out
there want to you know, want to think about what they want to do
in the future. S E. Oh, you know, software engine
optimization. I mean, once that's on the job anywhere
Search Engine Optimization. Yeah, search engine
optimization.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's the gig you want right now. That's
the big one.
Yeah, that's and it's like and it's like got black art. Nobody,
you know, everybody does a different issue. So and it's
like it's much in demand. And you know, only a few people are
doing it and there's a lot it's
not hard. It's not hard if you know how a search engine works
and you you keep up with some of the forums you can figure it out
it's not hard at all.
No, it's not hard but it's but it's a moving target. Yeah,
well yeah, it's a that's what's beautiful about it. It's kind of
an art you know, and what value do you put on art? It's what a
crazy person will pay for it.
Anyway, so when I thought I said this is what what am I thinking
you know, put him in? Stop. Don't be a gap.
Best Boy. Hey, we should have we should have. We should have a
Best Boy on our show.
We need the best boy. Yeah, we need the best way. So we need a
gaffer to this.
Definitely I need a gaffer and I need to fluffer
I need well, you need a fluffer Yeah. What's your one other
interesting piece of feedback from Rick DeHart? I'm sure a
Deckard I'm sorry Rick Deckard from I'm sure the Netherlands.
And he caught up on. There was, I think it was actually last
week, we've talked about this before how your brain cannot
process the word. Not it can't process a negative. So instead
of saying, don't forget to bring the milk to buy the milk, you
will of course, forget it because your brain processes
forget to buy the milk. So you need to say, remember to buy the
milk. And he said, wow, that's really interesting. When you
look at the 10 commandments, thou shalt, thou shalt not
murder. Thou shalt not commit adultery,
but no one's ever mentioned that thou shalt not
steal I mean that's like It's like awesome. This is like the
code to make us do all this nasty shit.
And like they say only sinners go to church
but a big I wish so
thought about sinners. I want to just bring up something that we
this is a sub topic that because I was just before we started the
show, I was watching I was forcing myself to watch Hannity
and why do you do that? I mean C span is rough enough
Hannity's well because I you get because I you know, we every
week we talk about this that but the two different to the lefties
and righties are they have their little issue that they have that
week to keep people distracted. And this week
is it still fort the Fort Hood massacre? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. But now the left the right the right he's got the
Fort Hood thing but it's like he all the signs that he was a
Muslim crazy man. Oh, no. But
we what we predicted the President started it with his
soft, like, ooh, defending the country bola and now it's all
this Muslim shit. And it's going to be right in time for the for
the Patriot Act to be signed. Again, when they get back from
vacation, I got a couple
of clips that kind of show you the way on some of this stuff.
Now, the name of the lefties are all concerned about the Blue Dog
Democrats and how they didn't vote for health care as if it
didn't pass. And they're kind of all upset about that. So it's
interesting to watch these two sides. But the thing that caught
my attention was Hannity's going on and kind of kind of
dismissing as crazy and stupid, and all these other things.
Regarding the AMA, who came out saying that, hey, this marijuana
stuff, maybe we should rethink it, maybe it is something that
could be good in the medicinal setting, and blah, blah, blah.
And just as soon as I saw that, I'm thinking to myself, wait a
minute. Again, these are these supposed to be conservatives
that you know, want government out of your life, and what
personal responsibility, but are really for all these drug laws.
I mean, I'm not quite getting the connection between saying
that you want personal responsibility and saying you
want government out of our lives, but do it but but acting
as though there, there is no personal responsibility. Thus,
we need all these drug laws and be we want the government to
have the DEA and all the rest of it and the war on drugs and all
this other stuff. What am I missing here? Well,
because it's all the same. It's all the same people running it,
you know, we call them Democrats. They're running all
parts of the media. It's just a big game. It's just to keep you
occupied. And in fact, you fell into the trap. You must watch
Hannity to switch to Fox, it's to five zero on on the Dish
Network. I know 205 I think, what is it? I don't know what a
250 I mean, it's horrible. I know the number is because we
just watch and
I work from 215, which are 211 is what I work from, I always
hit 211. And that takes me to C span and then yeah, and then I
can to roll down and I start going through that you know all
the crazy stuff.
I know exactly what you're talking about. We are so
pathetic, however pathetic or not, we do have a formula.
Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
And I got to say, John, it's a formula that is effective. And
and I feel like hitting a few people in the mouth today.
Well, you're in Chicago. Well,
that must bring out the worst in me.
How is Chicago by the way? I've been there for a year as we
say it's colder than a witch's tit
Is it cold? Oh,
it was freezing when I arrived with actual ice on the cars yeah
it's very cold very very cool. But there's business to be done
that warms my heart Johnny Boy
so the did you go out to dinner have some good time just like go
to restaurants in Chicago was actually become a very much of a
mecca for foodies.
Let me think Well, last night. No, I basically had I bought
five extra inches on my United flight. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's
actually this bill that get about an extra five extra inches
for $49
up a couple rows they have with an extra five inches it's well
worth it. I tell you it is well worth it the extra five inches.
So I had the classic box it's like could you poisoned me
anymore I mean I'm already
in it's just a bunch of starches and salts not even
it's it's not it can't be qualified as food. It's a box
with like chemicals. And you know that well there's nothing
else there's nothing else to eat. And it will have
tomato juice that tends to fill you up and you can get to the
flight but I got live I got into the hotel at 130 You know, I'm
gonna have to wait for room service until two and then stop
at
the bar. The bars are open till two.
So I met the bleep Hotel. That's one of these boutique hotels and
it's a cool hotel by the way. And
yeah, well thanks for telling us what it is the SAKs hotel never
heard which is
right next to the House of Blues and so it's you know, it's an
old building they redid it's now a boutique hotel and so you walk
in at 130 in the morning and the lounge is the bar is open and so
you're checking in it's like
there's no one in the bar but there's a DJ again
and as a as a DJ playing there's no one there not a single
solitary soul if there were some chicks I would have gone in and
I was nothing so I had breakfast
and a burger for those things are passed and types
of macadamia nuts when I got back I haven't even haven't had
dinner yet and here it is it's it's for a 904 in Chicago doing
the show doing it early the way we like to roll Yeah,
we don't like to get late on
getting it done but if we have to do it at a different time we
prefer to do it early that way people who are expecting the
stream they can at least listen to the show in the morning even
though it's not yeah
well the show it's it's also in the morning somewhere so let's
go to some clips since we're kind of stalling here on I don't
know what
I just wanted to talk some shit I got plenty that don't let's
not forget. Let's remember to talk about V. But we can do
that. Oh
V we can do that. Right I made you a Double V so you could
watch it by the way
when you when you make me a dub Would you mind just burning it
as a real DVD and not like an AVI on a DVD disc?
My son did it. Oh, well that sucked. And we tried doing it
the other way? We tried burning it as a DVD Yeah. Because we had
the AVI and it would turned out that it was it wasn't working
right on a Mac or something he's a Mac user. Mac
well so Mickey and I wound up sitting on the couch with a
chair in front of the couch with the laptop you know like leaning
over watching the whole show. This is not very cool,
especially when you have a huge flash
you know it played on my DVD fine
this is the setup that you you recommend that I buy so
I didn't have anything to do with what DVD you you purchased
DVD player? Yes
you do because it was built into the soundbar that you thought
was cool.
Oh, well that was a blunder then I have a DVD writer on my TV set
and I recommend that to everybody because the thing is
is that often you want to clip or you want something you need
to you know you want to record a show or your your DVRs filled
and you just or you want to make something for a friend and say
hey, did you see the show? And a DVD writer is great and the DVD
writer also seems to be like a lot more formats which is
probably why played in native and yours doesn't.
Oh, by the way before we get started with the clips I have
some very sad news John. I'm not joking around. So we have our
our two pigeons Fred and Ginger who who have who of course laid
eggs. Or as John would say eggs in the windowsill were on kind
of the second floor in the with the containment cell there right
off the deck and I've been feeding them and of course we
hatched to pit yet. We still don't know what chick pigeons
are called. And so we named them oatmeal and granola because you
know for what I fed them every single day. And I also
unfortunately, Mickey called me with the news and we've been
waiting for them to fly and of course they're on the ledge two
stories up. And I guess today was flight day and oatmeal
didn't make it.
She's down to bottom dead. Yeah. And granola was the other one.
Yeah, granola was okay. granolas
Okay, granola flew down. On with, I think ginger, it's kind
of hard to tell them apart. And there was, you know, sitting
around going, huh? Sad. So I guess that's why nature makes
two of them.
So, I guess Yeah, it sucks
though. You know, I was like, well,
this wasn't eaten by a crow.
No, no Mickey picked it up and she got she was like ready to
call bury it. I haven't asked what she did when she probably
picked it
up and buried it. This is just proves you to the two of you are
kind of nutty.
No, we're not not. Actually. I wouldn't rush it. She would have
eaten it. Exactly. No, that's, that's I mean, John, are still
soft when it's young.
And she and she said, if it was breathing, she would have taken
it to the animal hospital. I
said, What are you thinking? It's a pigeon.
I know, but we love them, you know, like anyway, so we'll have
to see how granola does. But oatmeal was also the smaller of
the two. So I think it was just like fly day and you know, it
just wasn't ready or something like that. So
as a runt. Yeah. Well, I'm sure everybody listening is
fascinated by the story. Well know
that people appreciate that we've got our vegan and
residents who always wants to hear about about the pigeons and
he says he'll be sad.
I guess vegans are sad at the drop of
a hat. This is true. All right, clip time.
So I don't remember what the clips are. No. Oh, I got one. I
got i Christina clip. You gave us a story about Christina being
harassed
my daughter Yes. Being being harassed on the train.
Yeah, well, here's the here's a local version of the same story.
Do we need to set it up with Christina story? Yeah, it's just
a story from the
newspaper you'll you'll know what it's about.
And I'm uni station agent could face battery charges following a
fight with couple of passengers happened this evening at the
Embarcadero station. The agent apparently asked a young woman
for identification because she had bought a juvenile ticket.
The woman said she was 17 but failed to produce any ID. The
agent wouldn't let her and a friend board the train. Police
say that's when the fight broke out. Investigators right now so
it appears the agent was the aggressor. In that case, both
the young woman and the agent were taken to the hospital with
minor injuries.
I yeah, I totally. You put these days. We're so programmed. And
this of course is all its mass mind control. We're so
programmed the minute you get a uniform, then all of a sudden
you got like some magical power. Like you're not seeing manscape
Yes, boss. Yeah, absolutely. It's my train and you'll do what
I tell ya dammit. Yeah, it's out of control. And we were totally
out
of control. Worry about this. Look at this person. Yeah, she
punched the other person out. Now you don't have any idea. I'm
gonna kick your butt.
Yeah, it's my train. No, Id no service. No, Id get up my drain.
Now, anybody that was even, I mean, somebody comes in with a
youth fair. And she's unless she's an old woman who probably
has another kind of fair they could do. There's no reason to
be questioning them just on Go on. What are they saving a
nickel and 50 cents. And
by the way, that train is so high class. It's so worth it.
It's so clean and so, so pristine and lovely. And what do
they charge
all the rest of the muni crap in San Francisco, by the way,
ladies and gentlemen out there listening to this, if you happen
to have the unfortunate belief that San Francisco is some great
tourist town in which it is if you like being hit by bumps
every, every couple of blocks and an end to grime in the
street. In fact, that parking is 25 cents for five minutes,
literally. Yeah. And that's a fact. They have probably the
worst public transportation system in the world. These
things are dirty people are getting beat up constantly.
There's one, you know, assault after another. Do not take truck
public transportation. If you come to San Francisco ever and
the cabbies by the way will rip you off rent a car.
And on top of that they're building the world's biggest bus
terminal on my doorstep.
Yeah, for what reason?
It's an amazing construction. I tell you that. Just
boy San Francisco. Hell yeah. If you want to go to someone, you
know, Seattle's a pleasant place. Or go to Paris
or Australia.
Go to South America. There's all kinds of cool things to do down
there. Yeah, you shouldn't really
not be hanging out here. Why did I Why did I even consider coming
back? I question. No. So history to me, John, before you forget,
we my friend, you and I, this very program and when we when we
will, of course thank all of our producers by name. There'll be
an entire show where it'll just be the accepting Speech award.
We've been nominated for two Podcast Awards. And I'm quite
proud of this because I was nominated for the very first
Podcast Awards, which I think was 5656 years ago. And I won
Best produced for. And, yeah, this year, no agenda is
nominated for the, for the, quote The general category,
which I mean, can you imagine Academy Awards where it's like,
and the Academy Award for the best general movie? goes, What
the hell is that? Hello, John, this general but of course, I'm
proud of the People's Choice Award were nominated in that
category.
Yeah. Well, you do. I think we should win both. Hell yeah. We
didn't get anything for best produce with all these jingles
and things we do.
I mean, we definitely should be getting
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
We need to get the ball cancer thing in your work. Could you
Could you cut the cancer yay.
It's not funny, man. It's not funny.
It's not funny as a matter of fact, but before we get you
know, we sometimes it's better to make light just
to make light of horrible you know, I am like that Whenever
someone's dying. I can't help but crack jokes. Whenever
there's something really messed up. I go into it's I know it's a
way of dealing with emotion. But I'm the I'm the guy that goes
into joke making mode. I just can't help myself. And sometimes
it's yours people up. I've I doubt it. No, it does. It does.
Yeah, here comes curry again with some more one liners about
you know, about my gallbladder.
So my my mom used to do that. It'd be like, when she was dying
of lung cancer. I'd say Hey, Mom, how you doing? Said, I'm
doing great except for the fucking lung cancer that's
killing me.
Like I loved her for that. That was fun. Yeah. Come on is funny.
Old women can do that. So what are the clips?
She was an old dude. That was the problem. She was
one of the clips you got.
I see your blackface seems interesting. Oh, yeah. This
is Oh, yeah. Yeah. This This one is this is a story right there
from your neck of the woods shot Cago over WG and apparently at
Northwestern University, there was some sort of a Halloween
thing and some guys put on blackface and it became a huge
scandal in Chicago. But but the thing that's interesting is the
commentary by the reporter I thought was fascinating. And
this
is from WGN. Yeah, that'd be a G. Is this the loop?
No is the world's greatest newspaper WGN.
It's a newspaper. No, it
was owned by the Chicago Tribune for years. And again, they own
this just TV station and WGN stands for World's Greatest
newspaper. You watch that? I have it. It comes from the Dish
Network.
Oh, and do you know we are so underpaid for the amount of work
you do personally, John?
This is a fact.
Oh, pictures of white students in blackface at a Halloween
party sparking anger and debate among those in the Northwestern
University community. WGN zero Leandro is live on the Evanston
campus.
I just got to stop she I love the way she pukes it. Yeah.
Do you like Yeah, well watch students. blackface is the anger
in controversy had lots of discussion over the university.
Let's go into debt.
And that's where hundreds gathered to discuss it tonight
to discuss
Julie. Hi, do you mind there was a huge turnout here.
Hi. You know, I think her name is how you Micah. Hi, Micah.
I think she said hi. You know, some people say hey, how you
doing? Hi. Hi, you
really isn't her name you Micah. I thought she said hi ru mica
because all these news chicks are like all, Katie Chung's
how you Micah How are you Mike? Okay, well,
you Mike. Well, maybe your sister tonight. Hi, Julie.
Hi, do you mind there was a huge turnout here at Northwestern to
talk about exactly what happened on Halloween night to be
specific. Sounds like to students dressed as blackface or
racially insensitive character really throwback to the 1800s
Whoa,
whoa, hold on a second. Let me get that sentence again. Go it
gets better. So dressed in blackface really racially
offensive throwback to the 1800s wasn't actually wasn't as
vaudeville still taking place like Sammy Davis Jr. State and
1930s
Okay, I'm sorry. Dressed as blackface a racially insensitive
character really throwback to the 1800s when white slave
owners would mock their slaves now the day
this is not true. This is a woman reporter.
Julie, Julie, you ignorant slut.
I make Give me a break. It came out of the minstrel tradition is
where it came from. That's what made me just like, let's just
take, like, take the remote possibility that white slave
owners would go into blackface to mock the slaves. Are you
kidding me? Hey, let's go mock the slaves and maybe they'll
kill us in our sleep. Here's some coal, I
got an idea
of a thought. Let's mark them
on this. We have not humiliated whip them or beaten them enough.
We need to mock them. See, I was watching C span the other day,
they had a documentary on Sammy Davis Jr. And you saw him in
blackface. And he was born in like, you know, the late 30s. I
think
blackface only ended in the probably around 1960 shot, but
it's a
throwback to the 18 this is Queen Elizabeth was in
blackface,
do you? Can you I mean? Do these people just make it up as they
go along on these new shows? And of course, there's no question.
Nobody says anything. And the woman I believe the woman who's
the anchor is actually black. No, she said something. Care
either
her name is why you mean, that's impossible. Oh, hi.
Why you me? Highlight you how you actually get to how you
meet?
I don't know. Let's listen to that. That was a beautiful, a
beautiful piece of prose. This is and by the way, the same
woman will report on actual news coming up
racially insensitive character really throwback to the 1800s
when white slave owners would mock their slaves.
Wait a minute, let's look at the Wikipedia. It maybe that's in
Wikipedia.
Oh, it could be. Let's see. That's where they get most of
the news background stuff. Exactly. Anybody hasn't noticed.
By the way, Wikipedia is the source from today's mainstream.
Let's see. Oh, blackface is theatrical makeup used by white
people to play black people in the United States, where the
practice became popular during the 19th century. So that's the
1800s it became associated with certain archetypes of American
racism, such as the happy go lucky darky on the plantation,
or the dandified. Kuhn. Here it is. blackface was an important
tradition in the American Theatre for roughly 100 years
beginning around 1830.
Yeah, for it was it was it was because they couldn't use blacks
for the minstrel shows. Even though there was actually one
black tube I saw there was a special on PBS about the
minstrels, and there was actually a black tube that did
go around, but for the most part, it was white entertainers
that, you know, stolen material, by the way, and the blacks
always complained about this for good reason. You guys are
stealing our material.
It's true. What are you gonna do about it?
What are you gonna do about it? So anyway, but to mark them as
white slave owners, and it wasn't it wasn't theatrical
folks. It was Whitesnake. Who comes up with this does she just
dreamed this up out of the blue?
Does it get better? Does it get no
it's the end of it. No, no,
there's more. There seems to be 29 sessions less crappy go.
Yeah,
play the rest of
the day after Halloween back here in Evanston images like the
one we're about to show you.
I'm amazed you didn't say Halloween, which of course is a
pagan festival, which dates back to the 1700s when plantation
owners used to mock pumpkins
or news about it was spreading like wildfire across the campus.
At least one of the two students is reportedly an athlete here at
Northwestern. Oh, which means he's
a good guy. You shouldn't be an athlete that can't you find out
if he is one or not. You're doing the story. He's reportedly
an
athlete with flu like symptoms,
encouraging tonight's forum on the subject, says the students
using
what was that there was a little piece leftover from last night.
Tonight's forum on the subject, says the students using very
poor judgment did not break any rules. Excuse me for now. Sorry,
I'm losing my voice here for now.
Honey, you're losing your mind. Decade not just losing your
voice, and you shouldn't be losing your job. Oh,
that's a good one, John. That's cool
that I just like that was the
credit limit. I wrote WGN stands for World's Greatest newspaper.
So how did they hire this bonehead?
I like to know where she got this. I impression. You know, I
get the sense there's a lot of people out there that actually
they picked this stuff up in high school or something, you
know, somebody said something to you know, you're the liberal.
That's a complaint about today's school or educational system
that Obama's supposed to do something about. He's done
nothing. But you know, most of the schools are extremely
liberal. I mean, my kids, I had to put them in private schools
and homeschool because it was it was out of control. Right? Yeah.
Because they come home and it would be What are you talking
about?
Which all of them or Yeah.
It was like a good color. Ambus was a Sony Music he only came
here as a horrible person a slave trader. Yeah. Horrible.
You know, Martin Luther King is the one who freed the slaves. I
mean, the misinformation, crazy ideas. And
I mean, there's any chance by any chance where they taught the
Constitution in school, John, why bother? It's just an old
piece of the Constitution, which reportedly dates back to the
1600s is known as a piece of paper with a bunch of signatures
on it. So the king of England,
so I assume that this woman probably heard about this thing
about blackface from some teacher who just threw it out
there and she remembered it because she was I don't think
she just dreamed it up. She must have heard it. And then then so
but she uses it as part of a reportage which is like what are
you talking about? This is the like, the thing we pointed out
recently where the woman went on and on about how to Chinese and
Mexicans build the rail right way.
This is why we call it immediate assassination because the only
way we know to wake our fellow citizens of Gitmo nation up is
to to expose what is going on before you that us let seep into
your brain every single evening for hours on end you let that
shit take place. You have to stop it.
Do you watch the TV turn
off your TV? Absolutely.
So what we're gonna go with some media assassination I got one
here that's kind of interesting. It's actually I think it's
you want to do we got two more clips What do some other stories
before you blow through all the clips?
Well, since we're on a media assassination thing, I think
this okay, this is gonna take us to the to the shooting at at
Ford. Okay, this is my favorite Fox guy, Shepard Smith. And by
the way, I have to say this because I think this guy is an
out and out douche.
Hey, that's a very hip word for you to use John.
And I have to say though, that I you know, there's a lot of
people that don't like me personally, they don't like my
style of writing. They don't like the way just because they
don't know you. And there's people that don't like you.
Cuz I'm gonna do I'm doing No, I'm just a dude. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. There are people who actually know me that you
know who don't like
me? No, not really. Everybody's in love with you. No, no,
come on. Tell me who is it?
I don't know what Leo does.
How can you see he doesn't like me. You don't know that for
fast? Think
he doesn't like him? He's always saying nasty things behind your
back. Oh, well, that does it. Anyway, it's beside the point.
So put on blackface and mock him. The point is, is that there
are people you just genuine, you know, people don't like meet
people don't like you, for whatever reason. There's just
like, some personality quirk or you just don't like the person.
You don't have to like everybody in the world. And I don't care.
In
fact, I don't want everybody to like me. No, I don't want
everybody to like me. Absolutely.
No. And then maybe they've you know, some people aren't gonna
like you. And I mean, some people don't like me. And that's
just the way it is. I don't like Shepard Smith. This is the pot
calling. I don't like Shepard Smith. And it could be just a
beach some sort of prejudice I have because he looks like a
Southern Baptist preacher. And talks like one and he's full of
crap. Right on. So I have a couple of clips. There's they're
come in different order. I have him I probably have in reverse
order. But it's about the shooting there. You guys will
play the one that says to play for us. And we will go over this
is a long clip that you're gonna have to interrupt a lot. And
it's, it's him getting run down. They have the shepherd Smith,
Shepard Smith is the Ryan Seacrest of Fox. That's
essentially what it is. That's what he is.
So that's kind of like Ryan Seacrest.
I do I do too, in a way. Because you know, right. You know, these
like these kind of no talent guys. And Ryan Seacrest is very
successful. You know, he's got a huge radio show in Los Angeles.
He produces half the shows on IE. I mean, yeah. And the guy on
the soup always takes the piss out of him, which I like. And he
takes it you know, because he's, ya know, I
think he's got a good person. He's
got a good sense of humor. He takes all that shit about his
height, and he's making dough and he's doing you guys loaded?
Yeah, yeah. But Shepard Smith is kind of I don't know exactly
what he does. But he reminds me of Ryan Seacrest. So it is the
Ryan Seacrest of Fox. Let's hear what he has to say about
the Fort Hood shooting on supervisors wants met to discuss
concerns about his behavior. A military source tells the
Associated Press that doctors were worried about how major
Hassan was acting. And so this of course,
is the meme that this is the mean that's being spread and in
a way I like it. But of course, it's horrible and not true. Is
that it was due to political correctness. Well, we didn't
want to you know, like seemed like we were profiling the
Muslim guy. I mean, because you know, well, we thought he was
kind of weird, but you know, we didn't want to like upset the
Muslim community. The
month before the attack at Fort Hood, Catherine harridge. With
that part of the investigation live in Washington I Catherine,
what's that all about?
Well, thanks to the Associated Press is citing an unnamed
military official who says that
lovely that's reporting right there. An unnamed citing an
unnamed military official that yeah, that'd be like,
Oh, car guy for the army.
Bullshit sign.
Words matter. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the words
as
belligerent defensive and argumentative when he discussed
his Muslim faith with others claim first reported by NPR here
in Washington also states
that, by the way, doesn't sound very Muslim at all. That's not
how Muslims talk about their faith. True. Muslims don't talk
in a belligerent, irritated manner. They don't it's all
about love. The doctors overseeing
his training at Walter Reed discuss their concerns about
Hassan's behavior. And PR is also reporting for their action
was blocked. According to the doctors they interviewed largely
due to bureaucracy.
According to the doctors they interviewed. Let's not tell you
which ones either it's apparently
difficult and a lengthy process to expel doctors in the military
shop.
You know, there was a lot of talk today, Catherine about who
was at fault here or there regarding any missed warning
signs.
This is great. This is fantastic, John so now we're
going to get the warning sign so we can spy on our Muslim
neighbors.
Yep. But die that but there's there's a kicker in here that
only reasonable your way. Right? There's one of these kickers
that goes all brother, this is a good one. Listen to their lame
excuse go on.
Well, that's correct. Multiple investigators familiar with the
FBI?
Again, multiple investigators familiar? I mean, could you just
tell me who give me some names you have
the Hassan emails sent to that radically mom say there was not
enough in those messages to launch a full investigation. One
government counterterrorism investigator tells me have we
launched
another counter terrorist investigate. She knows a lot of
people John, I'd love to have a Rolodex. It's all Mr. Smith. A
lot of SS bullshit.
Have we launched an investigation of Hassan, we'd
have been crucified, because the mail suggests that he was
looking for spiritual and religious guidance. We couldn't
launch because of First Amendment privileges.
Oh, stop. There's no There's no First Amendment privilege. When
it comes to that
way. Let's let's stop and analyze what she said.
Let's listen to it again to make sure we get it right back it up.
Okay, here is
an investigator tells me have we launched an investigation of
Hassan, we'd have been crucified, because the male
suggests that he was looking for spiritual and religious
guidance. We couldn't launch because of First Amendment
privileges.
They're already reading the guy's email. Yeah, they're
reading the guy's email. It doesn't Don't you have like some
protection under the constitution for that?
Apparently not if you're in the army, but it's beside the point.
Let's just listen to the structure of this whole
argument. First of all, they say, first of all, we have
something called the Patriot Act. You can pretty much do
anything you want investigated in investigation, or you can
investigate anybody
you want. So you can arrest anybody you want at any moment
and just do anything you want. So
this is bull. This is just an out and out lie, Johnny. I don't
even know if she's making it up or not. And then they throw in
this little needle about we had the first amendment, the First
Amendment, and of course, Shepard Smith says nothing about
this. Like Don't you think we should be protecting the First
Amendment? Well, apparently not. Because the First Amendment can
go by the wayside, then we won't have these incidents anymore.
Whose side are these people on? John Cena borax diva.
This source as the Hassan's emails were vetted and shared
quote within the appropriate chains but they would not
explain who it defends and at what level shop and
Shep Shep Shep they ship
Oh do you hear the sirens John? They're coming to get me good
yeah ship a ship. Well, that's in ship I have all these sources
who I can't name and your your source told you more about the
real fuel source. It says I have a source he has a makeup woman
wearing makeup people shouldn't have sources
substance of these emails, right?
Well, correct. The emails are characterized to me this way he
has signed appear to be at a moral impasse facing a moral
dilemma. Who was reaching out for advice from that radical II
Mom,
this sounds like I'm listening to law and order. These are
actors. They're reading a script they're reading from the script
is completely made up. There's just no sources. There's no
There's no information. No one read the emails to her. And
apparently there's no constitution.
And this government counterterrorism investigator
also suggests that Hassan may have had other suspicious
contacts telling me no one missed anything or connections
linked well Qaeda to nefarious individuals and all nefarious,
well then why they have an investigation? Well,
all of this, presumably will come out in the review both at
the FBI and within the military. She has a lot of
presumably allegedly unknown sources, they
still show stinks. So many gets worse.
You know what I'm about ready to go take a flu shot. Ready for
it? I don't want to be on the same earth with this woman. So
all
the way. All the Wall Street bankers are getting flu shots. I
think that's just desserts.
That's right. Okay, so
now now it gets even funnier. Okay, so we go from this bogus
report, which you know, wants to get rid of the First Amendment
because it seems to be the what's in the way of everything.
This is no good. The First Amendment, we could have stopped
this senseless killing.
So yeah, the way they did that subtle First Amendment thing,
just that's really I mean, I was just I turned red when I heard
that I'm thinking, this is Fox, the Democrats, you know, this
phony baloney network. So
I love your Freudian slip, Fox, the Democrats, your Freudian
slip is great.
It wasn't Freudian. So anyway, I buy into the theory. So let's
go. Let's go to the next Shepard Smith clip. Now this one here.
Do you have to actually watch it? It is hilarious. But but
you're gonna listen to the whole thing. And at the end, I'm not
allowed to interrupt. Now you can interrupt but I'll tell you
when When did let it go to the end. And the reason at the end,
what's interesting at the end is Shepard Smith is handed a
softball to ask a question about a huge, an absolutely I never
heard this on any other network that it's just like, here is
something very interesting. Let's follow up on it. What does
he do? He doesn't even notice it. It's like a bat. It's like
a nerf ball in slow motion is what you're saying. It was like
Yeah,
exactly. Now. Now the setup for this is they apparently somehow
got into this guy is this shooters apartment. And they
looked around and they saw all these things like tack on a
chair.
Oh, no.
Very suspicious chair with a thumbtack upside down like
play the clip. In the living room. We saw heavy duty paper
shredder. It was Oh no.
Clearly to destroy evidence
was left open. any trace of paper had already been removed.
Next to the shredder. We saw prayer mats on the kitchen
table. We saw foreign currency coins from
were they in my apartment. It's it's a yoga mat. Okay.
What I mentioned is that these prayer mats are like two
scarves. I mean, a Muslim prayer mat is usually a pretty nice
little rug. Beautiful rug. Yeah, it's not that these would like
look like two chewed scarves. God
prayer mats. Oh my God. I'm telling you. This is my
apartment, foreign coins. paper shredder. It's got yoga mats.
And so they look like prayer mats. I'm sure it
could be. I mean, you really do.
Exactly. And I've got a six
week kitchen table. We sell foreign currency coins from
Jordan and Israel. And a book entitled dreams.
I've got foreign currency from Zimbabwe. I am Danish.
And interpretations also in the kitchen a stack of papers that
were turned upside down.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
It's a stack of papers. Papers side down. Water report.
I'm sure people are seeing they go like shit, honey. Honey, get
hit. He had foreign coins and upside down paper stack. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry to for it to be southern when I do that. But
that's just the stereotype. I am. I'm a slave owner mocking
I'm a northerner mocking the southerners from the 1800s I'm
sorry. Yeah, I apologize.
And a green lockbox was left in the kitchen sink. In the
bedroom. We saw a new DVD burner but no signs of a computer to
operate it
is probably your son John is bogus DVD burner.
In the utility room we saw a shoebox full of vitamins and
medication. Oh my god, including prescription drugs that Hassan
had prescribed for himself and filled at Walter Reed and
another clinic at Lackland Air Force Base.
What was it Viagra?
And on our way out, we noticed a closet that was taped shut with
a note that read Do not open
until December 25.
Is that the idiotic report?
Okay, I'm gonna let it run to the end now.
Yeah, they run to the end and shepherd the medicine inside
that shoe box included cough suppressants medicine to fight
off bronchitis and other medication to treat HIV Shepard.
He, his lawyer was speaking.
So that's the softball obviously. He's not listening,
John. He's reading a heck of dry HIV drugs. Now, Shepard Smith is
already reading the script for the next segment. He's already
memorizing
a bit at the end again, because the way he shoves it off to
another topic, it's just hilarious.
Titus and other medication to treat HIV Shepard.
His lawyer was speaking today. What do you say?
It's completely because he is a script.
His lawyer is speaking today. What did he say? The guy has
AIDS. Yeah. And this isn't brought up by anybody at Fox.
This is kind of interesting. Don't you think it should be at
least question or there should be some aspect of this. I mean,
it just doesn't seem you know, there's but I don't know if it
means anything. But it's sure as interesting is more interesting
than that. The paper stack turned upside down.
No, I thought that was pretty good. Man. That's some real
production right there. Yeah, this this whole thing is, first
of all, it is the distraction du jour. It is not right. But right
wingers. Yeah. But it's not just a distraction. It is the
catalyst for the renewal of the Patriot Act. And I am convinced
that this is exactly what's needed to bring in another
48,000 troops into Afghanistan, which I want to talk about later
as well.
Like I do some but those poppies are going to be rotten here
pretty soon.
So Seth, who was a former soldier and Fort Hood resident,
and one of our producers, sent me a transcript of a snippet
from the O'Reilly on Fox, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters,
who was a Fox News strategic analyst was on the show, and
I'll just quote bill, we just need to get a grip on this and
put it in perspective, very straightforward. What happened
yesterday at Fort Hood was the worst terrorist attack on
American soil since 911. It was committed by a Muslim fanatic
who shattered Allah is great and gunned down 44 unarmed innocent
soldiers and civilians. So I wish I had the clip, but I think
I did a pretty good job
is is probably as good as the clip.
So that's, that's basically the message of course, we talked a
lot about the weapon that was used. And we've got to figure
out you know, if if there is we have no agenda forums.com And
what I really appreciate is instead of sending John and I
email because it becomes a real problem there's so many people
listening to the show, for instance, when we said hey, can
we get someone to do a Lo Fi version of the show? Well, you
can get this show now in just about every bit rate every
encoding algorithm you you can imagine, except there's no way
for me to gather all the information other than I will
have one link in the show notes to a Lo Fi which was requested
by one of our what Australian listeners I think it was at some
some guy nowhere Yeah.
But you know when you are a weapons expert, and I highly
appreciate it, put it in no agenda forum.com That's really
where the information can we can search it the follow up stuff.
Yeah, so the weapon Hassan used quote, used according to sources
was the FN five seven handgun, John, it's
not it was ar 15 Well,
the thing is, this is part of part of the problem is the
reports are so messed up I mean, I read a an M 16 was used, which
is what we discussed on the last show. So now they've all decided
it is a small handgun the five seven it shoots 5.7 by 28
millimeter rounds. By the way it's not a clip John it is a
magazine
capacity handgun with a magazine a handgun has a clip. Well, he
look I'm not going to I'm not going to argue with our
producers. He says technically it is incorrect. Technically it
is a gun as expert would call it a magazine. All right capacity
of 20 rounds. And of course the media made a big stink some time
ago about the 5.7 by 28 millimeter being around capable
of piercing body armor. So none of that type of annual
ammunition is for sale to civilians. John also mentioned
high capacity magazine well he called them clips were illegal
for civilian purchase. That's no longer true since Oh, the
exploration of the erroneously named assault weapon ban in 2004
interesting so this could actually be spun to get the
assault weapon ban back on track. Ah, that's a good one.
That's a good one. That's
why they that's why they just threw in the in the 570 they use
this and Mona but still the amount of damage I mean, wow.
For a handgun. Have you ever shot a handgun? Have you ever I
mean, just like of course you have. Hey, you know that
shooting easy to hit some
That's not true.
If you're if you're reloading and you're in your
view going down one of these guns you can hit people easy.
He reloaded three times. Is there anything that
I don't yet yeah, if you go to the range and shoot a lot you
can you get pretty good at it but the fact of the matter is
they say that this guy didn't even like guns and he didn't
shoot much with me while he's slapping magazines in and out of
this thing like a pro. Like it's like somebody like on see CSI,
you know and by the way, why are CSI guys so good with guns?
Aren't they supposed to be crime scene investigators but anyways
beside the point that you look like you're on you know you some
professional that Hitman shooting up the place? I don't
know what this whole thing
he's a patsy and there were more people it doesn't matter. I mean
it's horrible that people
get gun just ban all guns. Yeah.
It's just why do they have to go and why don't they just well,
they have to go killing people. We gotta go killing people to
get their way. That's that's the thug way to do it. That's the
Chicago way. You know what, I'm not getting what I want here,
bitch.
Okay, you know, they had, you know, the fact of the matter is,
if you remember, we did this on the show a few about a month
ago, they had this terrorist in Chicago that was going to blow
something up. And then they had the phony baloney terrorist and
Fort Worth, it was suckered by the government agent to blow
something up and it didn't blow up, of course, because the guy
was just obviously, mentally retarded. And they managed to
talk him into doing a bunch of stuff that that proves he would
have blown up the building if he could because he was a dummy.
And so that got no traction. It was just like, oh two
terrorists, blah blah, blah. And let's talk about the two
terrorists domestic terrorists you know, domestic domestic
whatever
they were they haven't labeled this guy yet as a domestic
terrorist. That's that's coming next probably.
There's gotta be some labeling going on with this. There's
gonna be a few more things I mean,
a homegrown terrorist that's homegrown
terrorist yeah homegrown That's right. So the guy is apparently
awake by the way by the way to use the word homegrown is also
you know, since homegrown also means people who grow their own
marijuana. Yeah. Did you want to give it make it want to put as
much bad spin on that term? That you can because if marijuana is
ever legalized homegrown is going to be bad marijuana?
Yeah, oh, yeah. Because of course, because it has to be the
legal shit.
Oh, my there was one more thing about this guy when they went
through his house. They said he had coinage from Jordan and
Israel. What is he doing in Israel that Muslims don't go to
Israel? They don't like Israel. Well, he was the bad news.
Nobody's asking about that either. So what am I even
bringing it up for?
So apparently, the guy's awake. He's off the off the breathing
apparatus,
you're gonna have to do away they're gonna have to make him
die or so I've already played I've already played the
sound effect too many times. It's going to be it's going to
be unfortunately, they couldn't talk to him and he because he
already succumbed to his injuries or some shit like that.
Yeah, no, I can't imagine this guy getting loose. Joe Lieberman
said
Sunday, he wants Congress to determine whether the shootings
constitute a terrorist attack and weather warning signs that
Hassan was embracing an increasingly extremist view of
Islamic etiology. were missed. There you go. It's in Congress.
Thanks. Thanks, lead. Thanks, Libby. Good job, dude. I mean,
it totally sucks what happened but what what's coming out of
this is messed ups. Yeah. Meanwhile, I
think stinks. Something really bad happened. They did a bunch
of people were killed in this action and the whole day just
find the whole thing to distressing. There was some
really good television that I unfortunately missed. Because
I'm a big fan of this idea. And unfortunately, we don't really
do it right or do it enough. You remember John Allen Muhammad? He
was the the trunk Sharpshooter.
Oh, yeah, right. The guy that was in the trunk and Washington
DC shooting, shoot,
killing, killing people, right? Yeah. And of course, we weren't
doing the show back then. Otherwise, I'm sure we would
have come up with some conspiracy. That it wasn't this
guy or whatever. However, he was convicted and he was sentenced
to death by lethal injection. And Larry King Live carried it
live. They, they had the camera live on the scene and
everything. And they waited for the guy to come out and say that
he had died and I keep waiting. Why don't they just put the
camera in the execution room? Oh, we're one step away. Yeah.
Well, I'm telling you, it's huge for the ratings.
Now I knew I've predicted this 20 years. I mean, you and I
probably both have a degree that we talked about. Yeah, we've
talked this is huge. So why don't you just get it over with
TV people realize that you're a bunch of slime balls anyway, and
do this do it get it over with the public will love it and when
besides that it might actually be a deterrent to crime.
Yeah, when you see someone's
argument about you know, death penalty is a deterrent to crime.
It's a deterrent to crime. Show
it on TV if you don't see it. Yeah, you got to see you got to
see that needle going in. You got to see the guy flop and
struggle struggling for air. You know, and we should have a live
studio audience and whichever little applause sign flash
and maybe they can rate to death. Yeah,
that's right. No, no, no, no, I'll do it even better. It's a
reality show. It's death row, and you get voted off. And we
get voted off
and guys, life is saved.
That's right. You're saved to campus. Ryan secrets Burnett. We
can have Ryan Seacrest hosted if you'd like I'm sorry, Mohammed,
you've been voted off this week. Oh, well, time to strap him in.
Everybody strap him in. strap him in. Be perfect.
I think the bear with the electric chair though that's
supposed to be really gruesome to watch, because your eyeballs
pop out shit. And then brown goo comes out of your mouth and you
shake a lot.
So if you're thinking to yourself, Wow, these guys are on
to something and you'd like to hear more of these fabulous
ideas? Perhaps three times a week. Hey, John, tell them how
they can get it.
Well, you can do it by donating to the no agenda cause and by
the way, we appreciate everybody who gave us money since Sunday
and we actually got a pretty good response this week. So we
must have done something right I think thanking people for you
know we get a lot of people still send a small amounts. And
a lot of people that did have coughed up to two two people
have coughed up what was left even though it's like $3. But it
still helps what was left of their Pay Pal account. They just
emptied it because it's the guy says hey, I realized I had some
money left in the stupid thing I'd ever use it for anything
here and take it Boom. Done. Love it. Thank
you highly appreciated.
So let's go over some people that gave us that contributed
some of our new producers and some of the old ones Tanya
Wieman. W e ima from New York City who I kept pronouncing,
Wyman decided to donate another 50 bucks so she could tell me
off because I was mispronouncing her name constantly and she's
on her own she has claimed it so I think you should start marking
it down. She has claimed that she is on her own personal night
layaway program. Yeah. So there's a couple of people a
night doesn't you have to be like
a lady a nitrous? I don't know we're gonna have to do some
research before she gets to the to the $1,000 mark, because I
don't want to embarrass ourselves or her. But anyway,
Tanya Wieman and I, I'm sorry, I mispronounced your name, but I
keep looking at it and I just don't get the Wieman but maybe
maybe I'm wrong. But anyway, New York City. That's the William
Arcann. We mentioned he gave us he he's on his own night program
two and he gave us $137.37 Which and then he followed it up with
$173.73. And so he has some sort of palindromes things about how
to you know how to do things. Yeah, maybe next will be
whatever.
Millions.
Then we have a from a kind of an anonymous donor and Phoenix he
just wants us to bid for $50 He wants us he says anybody going
to Arizona in the next week? Check out podcamp az.org he's he
has apparently does, teaches people to do podcasting. And is
podcamp az so it's podcamp az.org You might learn
something. Yeah, hopefully they he he's familiar with good
quality microphones.
Yes. By the way, this week, in my hotel room, I am using the MT
vos waterbottle as my microphone stand.
The brand of that Lavell ear you use
I show it is the Lectro the so that's Lima echo, Charlie Tango
Romeo, Oscar the lack of voice no Lectro Lectro you m 110.
Anyone heard of that mic? Yeah, well,
it kicks ass.
Well for your voice, maybe Nelson Kunkel Edwards, Colorado
$250 Whatever. He's one of the executive producers for this
show along with the William our canned. Then we have a Werner a
bow Gula big ULA 50 Dodge and he's in Hamburg, Germany
boy John Verno. Dunker, if you don't like my point, come here.
And then we had those some woman who's anonymous that said that
she's good. Don't she keeps donating and she says that she's
doing it for Doug Adams, the late author who actually I knew
when he liked the show. Do you think he loved the show?
Although he's
he? I think he would because it's enough of its anarchic
anarchistic enough for it for his.
Hey, there's a sense of humor. There's the there's the 752
Yes, I'm just going by holding people to Sacramento. James
Macklemore Nashua, New Hampshire 5225 a palindrome? Yes, James
real are Ah, l. I think it's pronounced real. Oh, real
Brooklyn $50. And then we have another anonymous person who
actually gave us $150. That doesn't want to be mentioned at
all, except for once he wants us to fix the URLs in the RSS feed?
Well, the problem, John, is twofold. There is actually the
problem lies entirely with the media uploader. And I'm not sure
what the problem is. And I've asked Andrew grommet to look at
it. He's been incredibly busy with all this frickin ad network
crap. And you know, like fill rates and whatever. So
fill rates. All right, I'm just saying that's what
we did. We definitely because I guess the problem is that the no
agenda show.com site is picking up the RSS feed and the RSS feed
somehow, for some reason, it adds a slash in front of every
URL. So typically, a browser will view that as a base URL and
then it it's lame. Okay, we're lame. We need to hire someone to
fix that. Or Andrew Drummond could fix it.
They had the time Sterling Ellsworth, our old buddy in
Santa Barbara Sterling $77.77. He's going for the lucky
numbers. He wants to hit 7777 on the slot machine. And this is
his eighth donation of that exact same goal. Now here we go.
Vladimir Freund. Fr unZ. A $50. St. Petersburg, Russia. Wow.
Awesome. In that great.
Yeah. I wonder if there's like an underground network. A botnet
distributing no agenda.
Well, if they want to, you know, I would like to have more
Russian listeners because they can contribute all kinds of
wacky ideas. Yeah.
Well, Alex, who's in Gitmo nation east is from Russia. He's
always got some good stuff. He sent stuff over from time to
time.
Christopher Lynn Hartson from rich Lind Washington gave us
$84.61 which is a generous donation. And that's Obama's
birthday. 461 I guess, okay. Matthew Stroh, Holly Springs,
North Carolina gave us $54.46 And he says that it has the
number has something to do with Toots and the Maytals what it's
what he said to the meatballs Yeah 5446 I think somebody else
I think somebody else did that once before anyway finally
Marco. E a kono I'm sure it's pronounced kono I hope another
New York or New York City is like to from New York City $50
Because it's finally
hitting a New York and New York the crunch is on people are out
of work condos are electricity is but you're not going to hear
this Shepard Smith is not going to bring you this news but let
me do it for you. Okay, my sources have told me that condos
in New York City they're turning off our electricity, water and
other essential utilities because the condo companies are
broke. And they've and they they can't pay the bills. Commercial
real estate is standing empty pretty soon we're gonna have
homeless people breaking into offices and living there if
you've never seen Escape from New York go rent a DVD because
that's what's happening it's common it's common to to New
York
you know squatters you know that's what they do. Yeah, you
go and you find a building that's vacant he just move in
Hell yeah. You know, you can get the gas light gas lamps you
know, the the Latin lamp, the one that uses a mantel, the
lights
are on the lights, most of these empty buildings, the lights are
still on at night, if not lost and not only that, but
you know if the light even if they kill the lights, I mean,
you're not going to cut the gas, maybe they will. But you can
bring in little stoves and stuff you can get by you can have
other lamps, you can have battery powered stuff. You know,
what you do is you take your laptop, you put it in the in the
abandoned building, and you use it until the battery dies. And
you go down to the New York Public Library, charge it in the
library while you're surfing the web while you're reading while
you're reading and then you take it back and you got you know,
enough juice, you can't be
surfing DeVore act out Oregon. In the library, though, I think
you're
I don't know, you'd have to look and check. I'd like somebody to
tell me if you can go to the New York Public Library and if my
site is blocked, so I have to
say my heart My heart feels good John and feels like we got a lot
of donations this week. Yeah,
we did we got are pretty much what we need to get. And I would
encourage other people to donate in any way you want. I mean, you
can give us what's left of your PayPal account or you can
subscribe to the $5 a month thing or you can give us a big
donation of $50 or more you get mentioned or you can give a 200
and get a you can get potentially something for your
bio, go to dvorak.org/n A or no agenda show.com and Click on one
of the links to the Pay Pal account and we're gonna I'm
going to set up a Google and some of the other money
collection accounts.
Oh, stop threatening. Stop threatening, please.
Because people complain that they don't like Pay Pal. I know
I met a little slow on the drive.
Have you? Have you read the white paper?
I can't see breaking up datum.
Did you read the white paper? I sent you about getting things
done? No,
I have it. But I didn't. I forgot to get
to it. So I've been using the system now for three days. No,
four days.
I love using it for days. The last time we talked
about how I was using it one one day, and I had already
remembered the milk. Okay, that's a week. I've been using
it for a week. I love it. It's absolutely working for me. I
write out started pie. I love it. You could actually you can
try. I think it's the site is called Don't forget the
milk.com.
I use that. Yeah, well, I use it on my I have don't forget the
milk.com on my Google Calendar.
Well, maybe right. But maybe if you read the just read the first
pair of the first the introduction to the white paper,
that's all you need. You're a smart guy. You'll get it you'll
know how to, you'll know how to apply the system. Okay.
All right. It's worth right after the show's over.
Yeah, Thou shalt not kill.
I just want to mention everybody that we really thank you for
especially the lesser donations, the bigger donations, everything
in between, but just go to No agenda.no agenda show.com and
divorced.org/n a n you can keep this, keep this going. And when
we win
our People's Choice podcast award, we will thank every
single person who was donated to the show. That'll take up a
couple of shows. Now we'll just do one whole show where that's
all we do. We can do that as an extra. We could do it
as I put on a CD. Okay. I know my name is in there somewhere.
It's in the second hour.
Oh, there was something I was sent. I don't know if you blog
this? I don't think so. Because I didn't see it anywhere. It was
one of these esoteric see and CNBC shows. And they had a I'm
sorry, we're done with
all the donations. Yeah, we're done with the donations. I want
to thank everybody again, ya
know, and I to thank everybody awesome. And on this show, let
me just open it up here and I gotta talk for a second wallet,
downloads and crunches, the Skype connection or the so it
says this is probably one of the nighttime shows. Of course no
one watches CNBC at night. Or maybe very early in the morning,
which also very, very few people watch. And they had on the show
a guy from Seattle. A Fergus, a capital fund manager. Nine
points Capital Partners. Have you ever heard of them, John?
Nope. Okay. Just listen to so of course gold has gone through the
roof where now $1,100 plus. And we started talking about gold
when it was about $800 on this show 18 years ago. And he says
and this is on CNBC. Have you seen this clip? John? Do you
know what I'm about to play? No, I
had no idea Vickers Chief Investment Officer nine points.
Capital Partners St. Louis live out of Seattle, Washington.
Didn't you guys are a hedge fund and what you guys basically do
is you try and catch breaks either to the upside or
downside. Apparently with
oil first of all, it's like who do you think is watching morons?
You please explain the hedge fund you guys basically try to
catch the upside or the downside. Dude, isn't that what
the CNBC Thanks, dude. All right, thanks. Appreciate
y'all Thank you have a share of ownership of a corporation.
Thanks for the info dude.
Also with gold you've done the timing pretty right God and just
as it started to oil up past 75 Gold past 1000 Are you going to
sit on those positions?
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, there's this is this is, you know, this
is you can think a lot about it and you can, you know, just stay
with it for a second because it gets really good. You know, you
know, one day and, you know, have all these vacillations
psychologically, but, you know, this is the time to, you know,
to play ping pong to, you know, pick up on, you know, get
involved in modelmaking or,
or do some for cocktail show on the internet, do some, whatever
you do, don't invest
or something ridiculous. I mean, this is the time where you make
money where the trend develops, and so there's really not a lot
to do with it. I mean, oil looks higher. Gold looks higher,
currencies look weaker, all for the reasons that we talked about
before. I mean, you've got huge wage disparities. I don't know
how that comes inevitably resolves itself. It may resolve
itself in some type of a global currency crisis. And then And if
the global currency crisis unfolds, then inevitably you
get, I guess, an alignment under a global world government. A new
global currency, and a new world order. Why
is this mediatic I love this guy. He's my new hero.
Nobody can see it. Nobody's listen, you probably the only
guy that actually heard him. This is
why you donate to the show was to hear these gems. This is
beautiful. And they're showing us dollars. What
is the other guy doing jerking off? was listening to this? Yes,
no, they're actually they've already gotten him off screen.
They're showing the US Dollar Index, which as you can imagine,
goes down. Let's just listen to that again. That was That was
beautiful. It was like, all the things I've been telling you. He
does it in one in like 30 seconds crisis
unfolds, then inevitably, you get, I guess, an alignment under
a global world government doing a new thing here.
Okay, okay. Well, the Skype connection might be kind of
weird. Let's see if we can do it, see if we can time it. So
start with the first thing he says the global currency crisis
you need to dig for that
this is that we talked about before. I mean, you've got huge
wage disparities. I don't know how that inevitably resolves
itself. It may resolve itself in some type of a global currency
crisis. And then if the global currency crisis unfolds, then
inevitably you get I guess an alignment under a global world
government a new global currency and a new world order. So
all the boxes are checked.
We may be moving towards that
talks a little bit more about this.
Listen to his response. Listen to his response. This is the
best huh?
You're right he was jerking off he's like
this has gotten done yet we listen to him
on and a new world order. So we may be moving towards that
talks a little bit more about this currency crisis. You see, I
have roughly one guy that
went to the shepherd schools Shepard Smith School of
broadcasting
he doesn't say anything about this guy's crazy
not crazy. The guys like yep, yep.
Funny thing I just put on my put here Yep, that's right.
Do you see a rotting what does that assume about what's going
to happen to the dollar?
So the world is coming to an end we have a new world order a
global currency. Hey, how about that dollar?
Yeah, we got the world count in new currency world domination
New World Order. But I got a follow up question. Yeah,
it's on my paper here. What about that dollar? Do real
investors watch CNBC Who is this intended for
real investors real investors watch CNBC all day?
Yeah, because they want to be in the game.
No, I mean they're they're basically in in the offices of
every boy it's on Yeah, but the sound but believe me it when the
when the market closes and they did maybe they watched some more
stuff while they're cleaning their office up. Then they're
home watching you know, law and order and the rest of it now you
know what, nobody watches CNBC. Like you said, after seven
o'clock,
the sound is off and all they're doing is like Oh, Erin Burnett,
Maria Bartiromo? That's what they're doing when the doors
closed and CNBC is on their pillow their pods, the money
honeys that's what's that's what it's all about. The better.
The dollar will utterly get destroyed and become virtually
worthless. You know, we have a combined well, I mean, here's
what we know. We know that if you can produce something that
this this, this game that we have going on. Yeah, he's even
saying
it's a game.
It's a game, which means he doesn't know that there was the
resolution of the game. He's just like, making it up as he
goes along. He thinks he knows I
love the guy. Well, I'm not gonna play any more of it.
Because now you're just gonna harsh my mellow. And I was
really feeling good about it
was pretty funny. Right? You're probably like you and actually
the people that doubt would actually probably CNBC after you
played that clip, probably had more listeners now that listen
to no agenda. Yeah, exactly. And listen to the original people
like very small audience.
Maybe Maybe I should watch on CNBC from time to time. You
know, Jared, oh, one of our producers sent me a link. So
this is nothing we can really discuss. But it's a link. You
know, Joel on software.com. I'm sure you've heard of that. Well,
Joel on software.com is kind of a there's forums and it's a Joel
on software talks about programming techniques and
stuff. And so one of our producers Jared was surfing
around the forums. And he found all these Message Threads from
These guys who apparently are programming this from 2008, who
are programming the high speed or the high velocity trading
programs for Goldman Sachs, and they're talking about, you know,
how to use, you know, certain type of, of programming
algorithms. I'm quoting from this. So one guy is asking the
question, this is an arbitrage system, increased speed is
directly correlated to increased profit. Another guy in the
discussion points out that it's for derivatives trading, at less
is more when I calculate a price of a CDO tranche, you get
expressed as contingent P V minus coupon times premium p v
dash upfront, all these numbers are the order of about $40
million. I mean, it's amazing. They're not even hiding the shit
that just in forums talking about. And by the way, that is
probably just really good programmers is really good guys.
And I can't blame them. I know, I know one guy, at least who
does this stuff. And they're amazing. They're like
mercenaries. So I'll put that link in the show notes at no
agenda. show.com be kind of fun. It was good fun to read. And
another link came from CNN, it makes no sense to play the
audio. It's a video from a few. Another piece of really
important news. New York subway, a woman fell onto the tracks and
the train stops. Before running and over. Have you seen this
video? John? We ran it. We ran it on the blog. But did you see
Did you really see what was happening in the video? Yeah,
well,
I mean, when I was reading the comments I knew that people were
pointing out to that seemed to be some sort of facial
recognition. Yeah, there's
all these boxes that like continue to follow people. It's
from the security the footage is from the security cameras. But
it looks like they've gotten body recognition by biometrics
and not just tracking faces as tracking individuals. It's
pretty interesting. So I
guess, because you could probably put, like, if you had
this thing and sit through some computer, and they had a box
around somebody, you could probably put click on the box,
and then you can just follow them.
And then I did my homework, John, and I'm happy that we got
so much in donations this week, or at least a good start,
because it's still not enough to quit the day job. Although I
think we're getting closer. I mean, I'm willing to take a
salary cut just to do this full time be a whopper. Yeah, and
that's true. Still helped Mickey's not listening. I have
good news and bad news. Good news. I'm doing no agenda full
time. Bad news. I
get to be home all day. Yeah,
bad news. We're living in a box.
Might be living in a box. Anyway, the way things are going
there. Oh, shit.
So I read the Operation Iraqi Freedom Report from the GAO. I
read through the whole thing, John? Oh, good.
I'm glad somebody Oh, my
God, it's a mess. They have no idea. They have contractors
there. And you are I'll give you the link in the show notes. You
can read through it yourself. Actually, I'll give you my
highlighted version of the PDF that'll be worth it. I
highlighted the things I just thought were outrageous.
Oh, that's a good idea. That would be that's a public
service. Yeah, it is worth the donation.
So the the observations at the end are so tame and compared
what's actually in the report. So I'll just give you the one
paragraph from the concluding observations. As I've stated
today, much has been done in Iraq and Kuwait to facilitate
the drawdown effort. By the way, it's only 5000 troops who have
been drawn down so far. However, the effective execution of the
drawdown may be compromised by several complex challenges,
notably, identification of contractor requirements needed
for the drawdown. Dude, they have no idea of contractors
there. They don't know what they're doing. They don't they
don't even know what the contractors are supposed to be
doing. They have millions of dollars worth of tools that no
one knows who's supposed to be using them. Yeah. And
in that report, there's a whole section about how do we get our
crap back.
And this, this is my favorite. Let me see if I can. Oh, they
have containers, containers, which containers are really
important to move stuff around. Here it is. According to US Army
Central officials, the data system in place to track
containers is inaccurate and incomplete because among other
factors, it must manually be updated every time a container
arrives at or leaves a specific location reports based the data
from this system indicate the system is at best 25% accurate.
Wow, of all containers. Furthermore, updates to the
location and status of containers may not occur
routinely because of personnel shortages. There's like 300,000
people there. For example, according to officials in charge
of container management, 200 containers listed as located in
Iraq. We're in fact in Afghanistan. Oops. Oops. What?
Yes. So subsequent report report To indicate that approximately
54,000 containers had been physically inventoried as of
August 2009, which was almost 25,000 fewer than the number of
containers in the system and they still don't know where they
are of these containers entered in the data system location of
over 7000 could not be verified and the service ability of 39%
remained unknown. shipping containers filled with stuff
stuff like money, you know, drugs, all kinds of interesting
stuff. And how to 200 containers wind up in Afghanistan. Oops,
please It's a joke. It's a joke we need to just leave it well
they can't this is about leaving this they literally saying we
need to bring in more contractors there's already over
100,000
bail and just leave the junk there and leave the contractors
there and stop paying me just get the heck out. We will save
money
No no, because we have to retro grade this is the word used
throughout the entire report we have to retro grade all the
equipment and retro grade as I hairs as I looked it up means
render useless why
what's the point let's leave it there leave if people give him
too much basically, as a great gift for the Iraqis in
Afghanistan. Afghan is a bunch of trucks and jeeps and and guns
and cranes and God knows what's in these things, you know, money
and whatever everything in between jugs bottles, you know
who knows,
well, you'll well you'll like the like this then the
complexity of issues surrounding transfer 30 has already
presented obstacles. For example, in May 2009, MN CI
whatever the hell that is undertook an initiative to turn
over the Ibn sign a hospital located in the international
zone to the Government of Iraq as a fully equipped, fully
operational hospital. Great idea, John, this is what you're
calling for right? However, 100 of the approximately 9800 pieces
of equipment in the hospital such as intensive care unit
beds, trauma centers and patient vital signs monitoring
equipment, were ineligible for transfer, because according to
army officials, the army could not declare them as excess to
the needs of the army. As a result, officials had to seek
out ultimate means to transfer or sell the remaining pieces of
equipment necessary to outfit the hospital. Ultimately, the
hospital was transferred to the Government of Iraq on schedule.
However, it was done without those 100 remaining pieces of
important equipment, because of course, someone sold them off to
Abdullah they're on the side of the road. Probably the whole
thing is a clusterfuck. And if you weren't pissed off that we
were there killing people in the first place. Your money is being
mismanaged like nobody's business. In fact, they act like
it's nobody's business. It's just unconscionable what is
how this is the reason the economy's in the tank. It's
because there's billions of dollars
being wasted, literally wasted and then just going to render
everything useless. They don't give it to the Iraqis they gotta
blow it up or or re retro, retro grade
retro grade data shoot. Yeah, but you're right. They've got to
take that bullet to it. Look up the word retro
grade.
I know what it means. Yeah.
What is the definition of retro grade?
It means to destroy it means to to return to its original. No,
I'm in no, no, no, no, no bid junk.
That's incorrect. That's incorrect. Retro grade. Bitch.
Now Hi. Now wait, no, I'm just trying to open up the addiction.
I
know what a retro bright red Oh, nevermind. Retro grade.
reverting to an earlier and inferior condition.
Yeah, junk. What I said,
Yeah, junk. You're right. So on that note, I also I did Sirmaur.
And by the way, I'm also out here sucking advertiser COC in
Chicago. Like with my day job. I also reviewed the Copenhagen
treaty convention rather. Oh, man.
This is gonna be bad. We're gonna talk about this on Sunday.
Yeah, yeah. I think you're headed the whole thing she is.
What is she? What did they get her? She's like a journalist.
Yeah, that's their that is actually her. Her credentials,
isn't it?
Yeah. She's like a TV reporter. She's a she's a meat puppet.
Increases anything about science from what I can tell me she was
a science meat puppet. So
this is ridiculous. So this is very, very difficult to read
because it has all of these basically put in brackets,
multiple options of the language because they're still working on
it. It's a dress
is a fiasco.
In my mind, actually, I think blood came out of my ear while I
was on page 10. As I'm trying to figure drought what is actually
in here but it's all filled with IPCC. Everything's based on the
is all bowl and the thing is if you look at the people that are
the committee's that are dead put this report or this thing
together this idea this tree whatever they're supposed to
call, it's all Greenpeace people, none of them with a
scientific background, Greenpeace and there was some
other organization that was just dominating the whole thing that
Concerned Scientists, which I guess there's some scientists in
there, but it's like the the Union of Concerned Scientists
and Greenpeace guys. And as most of them they have
representatives from
it. Let me just read. Let me just read a couple relevant
pieces that I highlighted. Acknowledging the findings of
the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change IPCC and more recent scientific, more recent
scientific information, by the way, not linked or mentioned in
this report, that delay in reducing emissions significantly
constrains opportunities to achieve low stabilization
levels, and increases the probability of severe climate
change impacts and the consequent consequent need for
and cost of adaptation of all of this crap. It doesn't actually
say that. And then here as assessed by the IPCC in his
fourth assessment report, warming of the climate system,
as a consequence of human activity is unequivocal. global
atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased
significantly because of human activities since 1750.
Do you have brothers they have a date for it? They wanted to 1750
these two guys get together Hey, what are you doing over there?
I'm making some global warming peace a call,
and I'm just gonna let it burn.
If you're if you live in low lying countries. This is really
cool. There's either one or two things are gonna happen. Here it
is. Recognizing all developing countries, in particular, low
lying and other small island countries, countries with low
lying coastal, arid and semi arid areas or areas liable to
floods, drought and desert, desertification. And developing
countries with fragile mountainous ecosystems are
particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate
change. Hey, Holland.
Holland, sorry, already underwater? What does it make?
What? What is it going on? What's going on?
What they're doing here, they're basically ramping up for the
whole scare of tidal waves.
They're ramping up to take our money. That's the thing that
didn't work out with the timing on all this, you know, they
started working on this. I mean, Gore started on this project
years and years earlier, is they didn't expect the world economy
to have collapsed. Yeah. And that's because it's all coming
to fruition right about now. I mean, the timing was that now's
the time, we're gonna just steal the money from the United States
and pass it off and drink, and let's all have a party. But we
got no money left. We've got ourselves involved in a bunch of
dumb wars that are bull and they're just a complete waste,
and then the economy collapses. And we don't have any money to
give these third what we're broke. Just take a look at the
CIA Factbook and take a look at how much we're like $700
trillion. In the whole we haven't got any money, folks.
That you forget him or somebody else get it from France. Let's
take it out of the EU though. They're all
you make a good point. Has anyone from France ever donated?
To our show? Yeah. I meant to look in the database, but I
don't recall anyone from France ever donate to the show.
If no one from France has donated, then we're blaming them
for everything on this show.
I'll look it up. I know that a lot of Germans we now have a
Russian we got a lot of Brits obviously a lot of Australians.
In fact Austria and a lot of Dutch, a lot of Dutch, a lot of
Dutch Well, that's because of you. Well then switching on
thank God and a lot of Dutch and we had Belgium we have a Swiss
we have a lot of winter in Italy. But the French I don't
remember hearing a French thing. And I'm like a Francophile. So I
would have noticed
for those friendships man
should you pay him for this global thing?
At the same time increased financial support and technology
transfer to developing countries will help these countries in
their implementation of the Nama is which is like the National
whatever thing
reducing your risk get more inventions to our at
reducing the risk I love this of triggering or crossing tipping
points that could result in abrupt climate change.
Oh, just like the movie. Yeah,
exactly. Just like the movie baby.
Shit, John, we there's so much we didn't do we didn't do any
swine flu. Again. That's okay.
That's why flu thing is that we're getting more good
information so we can do swine flu on son Day, I think, you
know, luckily we didn't do swine flu for the last couple of
weeks. That may be the reason we got so much money. Well, that's
a good point, people saying, you know, those guys, they finally
got that swine flu thing with that jingle.
Let's just play the jingle just so we can feel good. Okay, it
doesn't make us feel good. Because here's the problem. I
know that people are actually taking showers in the morning
and then going down and then and then nine. And they're like,
holy crap, I'm singing their damn jingle you have now been
programmed, you will never be able to forget.
It's a good jingle.
I deprogram them at the same time. Do you hear me do that?
Yeah. Okay. So I don't actually want to mess with people
as well, we have to discuss that. But somebody mentioned to
us because we had that crazy thing where they had the two
people saying, you know, at the same time, yeah, we had to
explain that a little bit in some detail. Somebody said,
Yeah, go on to explain how that works. What's the deal?
People want to know how NLP works, which is neuro linguistic
programming. You have to what the only and we've maybe we
should leave it here. Words. First of all, are very, very
important. You hear John and I listening very closely to what
people are saying. And the beauty of this being an audio
program only or as Mickey calls it our little radio show. Is
because you're not she does little radio show you do the
radio show. Now she's a big fan. In fact, mall nevermind. Is
because you're not distracted by the visuals. And hand motions
what people do. eyebrows. Eyebrows are not just there to
catch sweat off your brow, they're there to express the way
eyebrows move up and down. All this is very important. These
are ancient signals since man developed, you know, and we've
just become these morons. And we just sit there and soak up all
this crap. Well, our brains are completely open in front of the
television with with a flicker rate, which is by the way, I
think that's why they're gonna ban flat screen TVs is because
you know, we're not getting hypnotized enough to Flickr,
Flickr, Flickr. So we gotta go back to two.
I want to mention something new now that you brought this whole
thing up. One of the things in fact, I didn't even think about
until you start bringing it up, which is the fact that when we
do those clips, when we start to deconstruct a TV shows like Law
and Order, you point out that the acting is so terrible that
you don't notice it when you're watching the show, because of
all these other cues you're getting, and you're actually
convinced that they're actually doing such that it's not so, so
horribly blocky,
though, and you can
is, and that's the advantage of doing the show this way as
opposed to doing on video because I want you to do a video
version, because you would be distracted from what we're
trying to make you concentrate on which are the words and you
know, I want you to think a little deeper radio has a
different effect on you than TV doesn't McLuhan would talk about
this you know once a hot medium one's a cool medium
so pick up on this let's let's make sure that on the next show
we talk a lot all we should always be telling you how the
programming works because your brain is being programmed. And
you're right John, there's some really bad acting you want to
hear some really bad acting. Yeah, really bad acting.
Yeah, all I ever want to talking about are you even paying
attention? I need to focus your work is lack luster. I want you
to get your spark back
Well, that's your awesome by the way. You are awesome. Lots of
little, little, little thing.
Well, I have to take part in the bad acting scene once in a
while. It's highly
appreciate we didn't pay you for that. Did we? Know I didn't even
get scale. But I'm telling you the tech crash is gonna have
something to say about that.
But But Nick did buy you beer and hookers. At least he
got my credit card. The hookers apparently I don't remember
this.
All right, and we'll also talk about V on the next episode
because I did watch and I guess the only thing I can say is I
believe Yeah, we do talk about V. Totally got to talk about it.
And Mickey actually came up with a with an amazing theory, which
she kept me up at night with her theory about it so
well. We saw the second episode yesterday. Well, don't
tell me because I've got it. DVR. Okay, so I when I get to
watch it
anymore, by the way, I'm sick of it. Oh, no.
I'm hooked. Oh, okay. I could be watching Shepard Smith. You're
right. But I think I'll opt out one day a week.
