Overview

This episode of No Agenda is a landmark, heartfelt tribute and memorial dedicated to the late co-host, John C. Dvorak (“JCD”). The show, curated by Adam Curry and powered by an outpouring of producer-submitted clips and notes, is both a celebration of John’s wit, wisdom, and enduring legacy and a gathering place for mourning and resilient community spirit. Using clips spanning the show’s 18-year history, Adam walks through JCD’s iconic stories, cranky brilliance, and unique brand of grumpy wisdom—with the No Agenda Nation (its listeners/producers) at the heart of every moment.

The episode is also an audio time capsule, loaded with classic bits, inside jokes, deeply informed cultural/media deconstruction, and profound gratitude from producers around the world. There are occasional breaks for emotional reflections, a parade of generous donations and personal messages, and a sense that the show, though forever changed, will continue on.

“Game, set, match. The lizard people win.”

— John C. Dvorak ([123:16], [172:18], and forever)

Transcript

[Adam Curry]

Here it comes. Ah, there it is. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, July 26, 2026. This is your award winning Gimmonation Media Assassination Episode 1889.

[John C. Dvorak]

This is no agend.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I just can't say anything in that intro at the moment. Hello, no Agenda Nation. Hello, Troll Room here live on Sunday the 26th. What a week it's been. We've been laughing through all of the tears. I've been on the phone with the entire Dvorak clan. Many people who of course knew John. It's been. The outpouring has just been so amazing. John, I'm sure would just love seeing his name trending on X. What is up with that? People from years and years ago have suddenly reappeared and every single one of you who emailed me and said, hey, I'm sure your email box is blowing up right now, but I'm telling you, yes, it is overwhelming. Now on Thursday's show, we gathered John's friends and family and we mourned him, we remembered him, we, we talked about him, we laughed about him. And today it is the producer's turn. Before I intro what y' all have put together for him, I want you to know that right after the next, I think it's about 2 hours and 43 minutes, we will be telling you how we're moving forward with no agenda because the show, of course, just can't stop. Things will change and there's a lot of interesting waters to navigate as we move forward. We also have such an outpouring of respect and love for John. So we will be reading several hours worth of donations and I look forward to it because every single. I know everybody's grieving and I just love to see how everybody is pouring their hearts out into these notes. So I had asked if you had a favorite clip from the show, a favorite bit, anything that you liked, please send it to me. Wow. So we used Clip genie. I think it's called Pod Herd now. Thank you, sir. Denonymous. He was beefing up his servers. I have to say thank you to Void Zero as well. On the last show he was adding servers, fixing DNS, all kinds of stuff. Just to keep everything on the air is wonderful. And so I spent about eight hours yesterday putting this show together and it was amazing. These are your choices. And it was so fun to see how many people selected similar things, things that I didn't expect. I'd say 80% of what you guys sent in or selected on POD heard Clip Genie. I completely forgotten about for instance, I had completely forgotten that John had done Tips of the day since episode 200. They just weren't structured the way we did them. So it was. It was amazing. And somewhere around 3, I usually have a glass of wine with dinner. Somewhere around 3 o' clock, I texted Tina and said I got to break open a bottle. I was laughing, crying, and I think you'll do the same. So this is an ode to John as selected by no Agenda Nation by our producers. And I'm so grateful that you did this. So enjoy this because this is coming from you.

[John C. Dvorak]

Blame it on the glitch and I

[Adam Curry]

did this work in 10 minutes. It wasn't that hard to find.

[John C. Dvorak]

Blame it on the Glitch Ye. Well, reporters don't care.

[Adam Curry]

This kind of.

[John C. Dvorak]

Here's a song idea for something.

[J.C.]

No, no, no.

[Adam Curry]

I was going to keep going with internal.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm not going to interrupt. He was going to tell the song idea. Find this song. It's Michael Jackson. Blame it on the boogie to Blame it on the Glitch.

[Adam Curry]

Do you even think you can't fit that in there?

[John C. Dvorak]

I think it could be done.

[Adam Curry]

It could be Blaming on the Buggy.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, this just sounds too similar. I can hear you have to rewrite some lyrics to get the rhymes right.

[Adam Curry]

I can hear Sir Chris popping another beer as we speak. Don't blame it on the bad code Don' it on the boot load all thermal overload Blame it on the glitch don't blame it on the bad card don't blame it on the bootload Low thermal overload Blame it on the glitch the guy's becoming alcoholic since he's been doing stuff for the show like, hey man, I'm drunk. Don't worry about me. And I rem. And I remembered a conversation from. No, I was thinking steam engines. You know, I've been looking at. I don't think the batteries is going to work. And we. And we talked about gasifiers, about wood burning trucks 12 years ago. You remember that?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yep.

[Adam Curry]

And he's going to build me one. The gasifier where you burn wood. And it's going to.

[John C. Dvorak]

I think this is appropriate.

[Adam Curry]

And it's going to power my existing generator.

[John C. Dvorak]

If anything, I think you should power your truck. Well.

[Adam Curry]

And that was the second thing. I'm not gonna wait buying for a. Wait to buy a flying car. I'm gonna get an old flatbed Ford that has a tow hitch so I can drag the burning system behind me and drive with it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh yeah, this is the way I've always seen you going out.

[J.C.]

Yep.

[Adam Curry]

What do you mean, going out? I don't want to die. I want to drive. Gasification systems are cool as crap and we have so much wood around here. And you. He told me about a buddy of his who has actually done this with his truck and he says, I can go about 15 miles on a dead cat. He said you could throw anything. You could throw anything in there. You could throw whatever you want. As long as it can burn, then you can drive on that.

[John C. Dvorak]

Now, there was another element to this, which was the quote, unquote, fact checking. And the fact checking thing is getting really old and stale. And one of the things that if you notice, you listen to the fact checking, they really didn't find a lot of facts that Trump said that were wrong. They were just kind of questionable or borderline or Trump would say something like 3.9 million and they said, no, it was 3.85. They're nitpicking about some of these facts, you know, so they get added to the 25,000 lies.

[Adam Curry]

I know I'd like to strengthen your argument because I got a little tired. It's actually more than 16,000 lies. This, this is the thing. This should be in the Trump rotation. 16,000 lies. I went and found. I wanted to find out who has tracked this since it's such a thing. 16,000, 16,000. It's the Washington Post. The number they are have. They have a database and the number is currently 16,241. And of course, it's not lies. They titled as false or misleading claims. And just the first page, just to give you an idea of what's in here. January 18, 2020, Trump said, I remember 2016, the election, the fake news. They said Trump was going to have a hard time winning Texas. So that's one column. That's the false allegation or the lie. On the right hand column, they have their debunked statement. Literally one line. Trump was always going to win Texas easily. So that's a lie. So what he said there is a lie because that's their fact check. Trump was always going to win Texas easily. A couple of others before you go

[John C. Dvorak]

on, and I like this list. I remember when some people were talking about both Georgia and Texas possibly switching over.

[Adam Curry]

But this, but this is, this is my point is it's very subjective claims.

[John C. Dvorak]

More.

[Adam Curry]

Okay. January 18, 2020, Trump said, since my election, the United states has gained 7 million jobs. Unthought of if I had said that in the campaign trail, the fake news would have gone crazy. The rebuttal, because this of course is false. Trump cites how many jobs have been created since the election, but not since the beginning of his administration. Haha. We've got him. Since he took office it was 6, 6.7 million. It's not 7 million. Is rounding up. Lie, lie. Okay, the next one. January 18th. The unemployment rate is now 3.5%, the lowest in more than 51 years. The rebuttal from Washington Post. For some, I have to do the voice. For some reason, Trump always stretches this claim throughout 2018 and 2019, a low of 3.5% unemployment would be the best in 50 years, not 51. This is the. That's at the top of the list. Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Is 50, not 51.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, because they, because they feel that when he said it, it wasn't a year that didn't have the exact number. So it really was the best in 50 years and not 51. That's one of the lies. And you can go through all 16,000 of them. It's stuff like that. It's called ant f cking and it's lame. Although very entertaining to read it. It just. You'd be. It's crazy.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, it just points out the insanity of these people.

[Adam Curry]

It's the Washington Post.

[John C. Dvorak]

The Washington Post is insane. This all began in the 70s, late 70s, actually.

[Adam Curry]

I was very young then. John.

[John C. Dvorak]

This began with a software entrepreneur named Seymour Rubenstein. Seymour Rubenstein, who was the purveyor of Wordstar, among other products, had developed a very interesting ironclad licensing agreement. And I've talked to Seymour about this over the years and he, he always believed that in someday, in the distant, not too distant future or distant future, everything would be licensed, including books and television shows that you watch. So you can't copy them. You can't because you're licensed it. And maybe you can make one backup for personal use, which they're always fighting against. That too, by the way. So the idea of everything being licensed evolved into the shrink wrap license, which

[Adam Curry]

became law, which is that terms of service license that when you open up a cd, used to be floppies.

[John C. Dvorak]

See End user agreement. It's a piece of paper. When you rip open the package, you

[Adam Curry]

have, you have accepted it. Yes, you are now, you are now under contract.

[John C. Dvorak]

I always get her. I always say, have your 13 year old kid open it because they're not bound by these same legal restrictions. Anyway, like that's going to help.

[Adam Curry]

An interesting John C. Dvorak tip.

[John C. Dvorak]

This John Cvoric Tip of the day Game, set, match. The lizard people win. This is pretty transparent here. Play this clip. Firestorm over the 2000X DOJ. I got a comment about this next

[Darren O'Neill]

tonight, the growing firestorm surrounding Attorney General William Barr. More than 2,000 former Justice Department prosecutors and officials now publicly calling for his resignation. The AG facing heavy criticism for intervening in the sentencing of President Trump's longtime friend, Roger Stone.

[Adam Curry]

That sentencing now set for Thursday.

[John C. Dvorak]

Long time friend. Now the this. If you remember about six months, it may even been a year ago, there was the same 2000 ex DOJ guys who signed a petition saying that the president should be, I believe, should be impeached. And this is just a mailing list. This is a group of 2000 that are all Democrats. And it was mailing.

[Darren O'Neill]

You're right.

[Adam Curry]

You're right.

[John C. Dvorak]

So I looked into first time it happened, which is the same 2,000 guys. You can look at the list. It's the same people. I looked into this back then, when it happened the first time. I tracked down two or three of them and wrote them, emailed them that maybe I tracked down more than that, but I only got responses from two or three.

[Adam Curry]

But you were trying. So did you acquire the entire list?

[John C. Dvorak]

The list is available.

[Adam Curry]

That's a hot list.

[John C. Dvorak]

The article that ran in Medium is the same list that they ran. Just ran with each.

[Adam Curry]

Sean, you know what we can do with this list here? Will send the email. I saw what you were doing. I was able to turn on your webcam. I saw what you were watching. You need to send me five Bitcoin. Come on, man. It's a great list. It's a great list to do that for.

[John C. Dvorak]

I don't have the emails. It's just a list of names.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, that's a problem.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. So I had to dig through and dig around and finally get the emails for maybe five or six of them because some of them are in famous law firms. And you go to the website and there's the guy and you know, ex doj XDO just. It's amazing how many XDOJ people there are in giant law firms. Yeah, So I sent a bunch of notes out because I didn't. I thought this sounded like a bunch of bull crap. And they're just make, you know, just putting people's names down, you know, like petitioners do. But now they wrote back. No, no. Yeah. No. I mean, they were all irked that I even questioned that they signed onto this thing. And, and you could tell they're all just a bunch of either never Trumpers or Just Democrats that don't like Trump. It's the same group. So this is going to crop up every six to nine months. 2000 ex DOJs are saying that Trump did the wrong thing. This is bull crap. Good. And the fact that ABC News, and so did Democracy now just played it straight is just beyond the pale as far as I'm concerned. Just bad coverage is not very well done.

[Adam Curry]

Good deconstruction. I had forgotten all about that list. That makes so much sense. What a bunch. It's hooey.

[Mimi Dvorak]

It's.

[Adam Curry]

It's malarkey. I say then of course we have. We have a classic, a favorite. The pansexual. You know that is the pansexual.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Of course.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, yeah. You'll have sex with an animal.

[Adam Curry]

Anything. Anything. Now, hey, what are you gonna do?

[John C. Dvorak]

Anyone gonna eat this meatloaf? I had this book and it reminded me of this. I told people this. I can look at a guy and tell if he's had a vasectomy. Really? His face. The face. And I'm not talking about, you know.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, wait a minute. Let me just get this straight. Let me just get this straight. So amongst your many talents. And remember, John has worked for oil companies. He's a master chef, he's a wine connoisseur, he's a technology expert. He used to hand deliver PC Magazine to all 30,000 subscribers. Not only that, but you can tell just by looking at a guy's face whether he's had a vasectomy or not.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Okay, now how I got clued into this. Let me back up a little bit.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, please do.

[John C. Dvorak]

I had. Oops, ouch, backed up too far. So I had this book and I just irked to no end that I've lost this book. Although I think I might be able to find it in one of the library searches that Google and Microsoft are doing. I think it's still around. It was a book done in the 20s and in the 1920s, a book on health. In the 1920s, vasectomies were used as a way of making people look more youthful. It was actually a. It wasn't for birth control. It was done by which I. It was done for the purposes of, like, instead of a facelift, you'd get a vasectomy.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Really?

[John C. Dvorak]

And it would make you look younger. And they showed all these pictures in this book. And I looked at these pictures and I looked at enough of them, and then I know enough guys who had vasectomies that I look at and I could see what it does. It Makes, for some reason. And it does. You know, I talk to people about this. Well, it says it makes no sense because all it does is this and that. How could it do what you're describing? I'm just saying in the 20s, vasectomies were used as a youth serum. People get a vasectomy and they look younger by a little bit. But in fact, they didn't look younger, they look different. And it makes your face a little puffier and a little more. It's a little softer. It's kind of hard to describe. But I'm telling you the truth. I have seen and I've actually done this with friends that, you know, that have had vasectomies. And just without coming, I say, I just look at them and say, you've had a vasectomy. Right. And the guy said, 99% of the time I'm right.

[Adam Curry]

Were we in time with the Zephyr or what?

[John C. Dvorak]

We started the whole thing just as the Zephyr appeared. It's a 10 car train too. For some reason, I kept seeing these 10 car trains for the last week. And I'm thinking, as I've been looking at these trains again, why are they 10 cars all of a sudden? They've always been eight. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 cars.

[Adam Curry]

It's not early.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm hearing it honking. I think it's, it's gonna. Well, I mean, I can hear the honk from Emeryville. This horn they got on these things. Zephyr.

[Adam Curry]

Ah, right in time. Perfect, Perfect. I'm so happy. It's gonna be a good show.

[John C. Dvorak]

And there goes the Zephyr, right on time. I mean, the Judy. There goes the Zephyr. Here comes the Zephyr, by the way, Just for your information. All right, folks, there goes the Zephyr.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, perfect timing.

[Darren O'Neill]

Zephyr.

[Adam Curry]

Thank goodness. There we go.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'll tell you a couple salt tips.

[Adam Curry]

Okay? John Vorax, Salt tip of the day.

[John C. Dvorak]

The really great salt in the world that just for some reason has got. It just has everything going for it are these hands. These things are pulled by individuals and various salt marshes. And it's French, but they do make it here and there. It's called fleur de sel F L E U R D E S E L and this is, it's a, it's an outstanding salt, especially in a salad or something, that maintains its crunchiness and it's just a fantastic thing. Well, here's. I got my piece of advice.

[Adam Curry]

All right.

[John C. Dvorak]

I've given this advice before. I'm going to give it again. Most people that will supervise you throughout your careers are full of crap.

[Adam Curry]

And that's the advice.

[John C. Dvorak]

The more you know, and they tend to, they, they can be played. And I don't like to say that you want to play people, but you. They can be played by just going along with whatever they have to say. Do not be argumentative. And I'll give two examples. I'll give one example, a good one. Why should I give a. I'll give a number. I could generalize. Somebody will say, hey, hey, I don't like the way you're doing this. And you're doing it whatever way you're doing it. And you, instead of saying, well, I'm doing it for this reason or that reason or whatever, you say, oh, oh, okay, what do you want me to do? What do you think I should do better? I'm all ears. Be very attentive. And then they'll tell you the way they want you to do something and then just keep doing it the way you were doing it because it's the way you do things. Don't pay any attention to their advice. And within, I don't know, a few months, they come back to you and say, so how's that new way of doing things? And you say, it's great. You were right. And the guy will say, yep, I've noticed that you've changed. You're much better than you were. And that happens all the time because everybody thinks they're so important.

[Adam Curry]

And hello, eight months ago, this is exactly what has been prognosticated on this very program. But it became real when Ticketmaster announced it. Ticketmaster may require vaccine or testing proof to go to a concert. This sounds like a vaccine certificate becoming almost like a passport.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

It might only be the beginning. What? I mean, who could have foreseen this? We had no. What it could be. Almost. It's almost like a passport. I'm shocked. Yeah, it might only be the beginning as well. So Ticketmaster plans to have customers use

[J.C.]

their cell phones to verify their vaccination

[Adam Curry]

or show a negative tests within the past 24 to 72 hours. Now, there are different types of apps

[J.C.]

and companies out there that track your health data. So Ticketmaster will use a combination of

[Adam Curry]

a digital ticketing app with a combination of health info firms like Clear and IBM attracts your health information. And then. Nice to see IBM back in the game of putting numbers on human beings.

[John C. Dvorak]

Haven't done a real job like this since Nazi Germany.

[Adam Curry]

It's been a while Since IBM was used to tally and count and track the Jews with their Jew tracing and tracking program. Look it up and they're back in the game. We've got the documents. Look it up.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Do your own.

[Adam Curry]

Researchmaster will use a combination of a digital ticketing app with a combination of health info firms like Clear and IBM that tracks your health information and then coordinate with testing companies like LabCorp.

[J.C.]

So Billboard reports a Ticketmaster will not

[Adam Curry]

be able to store this information or be able to access, access your entire medical record. But how it works is that concert goers, you will instruct a lab, send over your test results to their health pass companies like Clear, like IBM, which would then be verified in a Ticketmaster app itself. But you can imagine that it's not just concerts. Think of movies and also sporting events. What about workplaces?

[John C. Dvorak]

Getting on a plane, going on a

[Adam Curry]

cruise, going to work.

[J.C.]

What about privacy concerns as well?

[Adam Curry]

They say you can't access your medical records, but is that discrimination? Something's got to give. Yeah, that's the way it is. That's the way it is. No, Stuart Varney, you big headed oaf. No, that's not the way it is. Something's not got to give. Only if people give in to it. And they're going to see.

[John C. Dvorak]

I don't believe this. This story is anything more than subtle propaganda to get you to go get vaccinated.

[Adam Curry]

Are you crazy?

[John C. Dvorak]

Threat?

[Adam Curry]

This is, this is power and control sitting right out there and they're going to go, oh, we're not like that. We're not actually going to do it. Please.

[John C. Dvorak]

I didn't say that.

[Adam Curry]

What did you say?

[John C. Dvorak]

What I said is that the methodology they're using is a threat mechanism.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

To make it sound as though they're going to do it.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

And they're serious and they make it sound serious and probably Varney thinks they are. I mean, who knows. But the mechanism is to get you to get vaccinated.

[Adam Curry]

Right. And it's working.

[John C. Dvorak]

But they're never going to put implement this bull crap because it costs people money.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, Red Book, putting it in right now. I'm tired, I gotta say.

[John C. Dvorak]

Ticketmaster will not implement this program.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, Ticketmaster, I'm putting it in. Passport today is November 12, 2020. And A.C. yes, JCD, no. And I will be able to read that. It's absolutely going to be implemented.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yep. You'll never be able to read it because it's never going to happen. All right?

[Adam Curry]

It's in the book. It's fine. We can, we can Agree to disagree.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, we can't. We cannot agree.

[Adam Curry]

You're just wrong.

[John C. Dvorak]

You just disagree with that idea.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I disagree with you, period.

[John C. Dvorak]

People keep saying we can agree to disagree.

[Adam Curry]

Well, it's a way of saying you. I think not.

[John C. Dvorak]

You mention it. Hooping sucker. I'm getting a little annoyed by the stay safe thing, too.

[Adam Curry]

Who says stay safe?

[John C. Dvorak]

Everybody.

[Darren O'Neill]

Really?

[John C. Dvorak]

You go to the store? Yeah, they do. In California. They do.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, that's like, stay safe. Like, we always joke around that when you're out on. In the field in the hurricane. Stay safe.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, same thing. It's just you go to the store and then you say, okay, how's business? Yeah, good. Okay, so long. Stay safe.

[Adam Curry]

Well, we need stay safe.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's like, be well or like. It's just say. They just say it constant. Okay, everybody. So I said it once.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, that's. Now this is bad. So I have. I think I have a good retort because this is annoying and we need to stop this. Stay safe. So we'll try it out. I've received the goods. Say, okay, thank you very much, John. All right, I'm gone.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, well, stay safe.

[Adam Curry]

Yes. Under his eye. And then just walk off.

[John C. Dvorak]

Stay safe under his eye.

[Adam Curry]

If someone says, stay safe, and you say, yes, under his eye or under his watch, maybe that's. No, under his eye. Isn't that the one from you talking about?

[John C. Dvorak]

Is this some religious thing?

[Adam Curry]

No, that's from the Handmaiden's Tale.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, I see. I never watched that piece of shit.

[Adam Curry]

So clearly a failed attempt here. Okay, I'm sorry.

[John C. Dvorak]

So I would go, okay, let's do it again. This time you do it.

[Adam Curry]

Okay. All right.

[John C. Dvorak]

So. Okay, I'll see you later, Adam.

[Adam Curry]

Yes. Okay, John. And hey, stay safe with Jesus. I like that one a lot. I like it a lot. And it's just a good way. And also it spreads the word of the Lord.

[John C. Dvorak]

So it's not about somebody's word, but it's definitely a showstopper.

[Adam Curry]

It's definitely a showstopper.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, let me try another one.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

This time I said this. You just say safe. Right? This is the. This is the one I think is maybe better.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right. Okay. I'll see you later, Adam.

[Adam Curry]

All right. Stay safe.

[John C. Dvorak]

Go fuck yourself.

[Adam Curry]

What did you have for breakfast? The following jingle contains content about anal leakage. However, it also provides advice to finding shoes that match. Listener discretion is advised.

[John C. Dvorak]

But I have heard of There's Another One, and you can look this one up. There are these public poopers, and there Tend to be mostly women.

[J.C.]

Public poopers.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, God. Hey, where did we go? The days when the stains came down in the hollow Playing you game

[Darren O'Neill]

skipping

[Adam Curry]

in a dumping Laughing and a running Leave this strange aroma where the hearts are thumping and you my brown stained girl yeah, my brown stained girl

[John C. Dvorak]

here's me. Here we go. Well, I'm at. I'm in Las Vegas with a group of the people from PC magazine and one of these. Some PR woman comes up and sits there and starts to talk, and then she leaves and rushes off. And one of the guys, I don't know how he knows about this, but he said that she was a. She said he knew that she took a. This is disgusting. And I apologize to the listeners of this show for bringing this stuff up, but apparently they like to go. And they just poop in their pants in a crowd.

[Darren O'Neill]

In their pants.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes,

[Adam Curry]

my brown stinger.

[John C. Dvorak]

And then they go off somewhere and some sort of weird perversion and Sha

[Adam Curry]

la la la la la la la

[John C. Dvorak]

la la la la la dee da. If you go on the. IT open. Holy mackerel's a huge. It's like massive number of participants.

[Adam Curry]

Do they have a mastodon server? Done.

[J.C.]

What is.

[John C. Dvorak]

What does ball and court mean?

[Adam Curry]

That means we are not playing cards. We are playing basketball.

[John C. Dvorak]

Football. Not tennis.

[Adam Curry]

Football. Football.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's no football courts.

[Adam Curry]

You know what the. You know what it means? The ball.

[John C. Dvorak]

What does it mean? It means.

[Adam Curry]

Well, the ball is in your hand.

[John C. Dvorak]

And why is he using it as a phra. And is it an American phrase? Is it an international phrase?

[Adam Curry]

And what.

[John C. Dvorak]

What court are we talking about? And what. And explain this bullcrap. There is no such thing as a ball in a court.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, you're now taking a phrase has always bugged me. Clearly it's bugged you.

[John C. Dvorak]

What am I doing?

[Adam Curry]

What do you mean?

[John C. Dvorak]

What court do I own that There's a ball in there. Get the ball out of here.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, I'm glad you got that off your chest after 60 years. About time.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, it's at minimum.

[J.C.]

Very earth minimum.

[Adam Curry]

I mean, it's.

[John C. Dvorak]

Is it a tennis court we're talking about?

[Adam Curry]

It's a sports basketball court. Sports ball court. Okay, well, since you are so bugged about it, I'll look it up. I can look up the balls in your court, actually.

[John C. Dvorak]

Look it up and follow up on this.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, well, of course. I mean, I. This. The ball is new origin and meaning. Okay. Oh, it is? Yes. The idiom.

[J.C.]

The.

[Adam Curry]

It's an idiom, John. The idiom originates from the sport of Tennis. Once. Once the tennis ball has been hit over the net, thus the onus to act, that is play. The next shot switches to the person whose half of the court contains the ball.

[John C. Dvorak]

The word or the ball is in your half a court. It should be. Then it should be the balls in your half court.

[Adam Curry]

And by this, I proclaim today, March 13, ball in your half of court day.

[John C. Dvorak]

Youssef's hummus.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's not bad.

[Adam Curry]

Yousef's hummus. Where do you get it? Costco?

[J.C.]

I don't know where.

[John C. Dvorak]

You know, I have it in the refrigerant. I don't know where I bought it. Now, the. Which says something. But anyway, the people out there who like hummus.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Probably have discovered. I mean, if they ever had real hummus in, you know, made by an old lady in the basement in a Middle Eastern restaurant in the Middle East. Yes. Real hummus made fresh daily. Know that you can't get good hummus in this country. No. But there's stuff that approaches it. And I. The one I always liked the most was Sabra, which is a national brand. But Sabra, they refuse to use olive oil in their hummus. They use soybean oil and it bugs me, but they have the texture and everything down. So this Youssef uses olive oil. So that's your tip of the day. I got into a beef with the Lib Joes.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, do tell.

[John C. Dvorak]

What I'm doing is pointing out the numbers. This for. I'm actually working on another.

[Adam Curry]

Ah, a sub stack forthcoming. Sub stack forthcoming.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's come. It's going to be on mass hysteria.

[Adam Curry]

Nice.

[John C. Dvorak]

And so I'm showing them the numbers out of Africa and they're all. Yeah, so what? You know the icu, they're full. They're full.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, wait, stop right there. Can I play you my clip before you tell us the story?

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, if it is pertinent, of course.

[Adam Curry]

South Africa. Our correspondent Nomsa Maseko is in Johannesburg. She told me hospitals are under strain.

[Darren O'Neill]

They are severely under strain, particularly in

[Adam Curry]

two provinces, the Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal, provinces where hospitals are at full capacity, some by up to 140%. But it's not just COVID patients that are filling up those beds, but it's also trauma cases which are fueled by crime and alcohol and also road traffic accidents. The sale of alcohol will be banned with immediate effect in South Africa until the middle of January next year. Yeah, see, it's exactly what's going on here. Only in South Africa, you can see it and it's out in the open because they're locked up and they're getting. Getting hammered and dying. It's not. You heard it very clearly. It's not just. It's not Covid.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, no.

[Adam Curry]

It's all the other stuff that's going on.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, we've had clips from hospitals and there's no COVID patients in the place. But be that as it may get back to the liberal, there's a phrase I don't want to use again, so I'm getting to this thing. And then one of them chimes in and says, this is great. John's going to obviously not take the vaccine. That moves me up one place. What?

[Adam Curry]

In podcaster land. What is it? What does he think?

[John C. Dvorak]

Or well, in the vaccination line.

[Adam Curry]

Oh my God. It moves me up one place. Sticking with the ICU beds for a sec. Boots on the ground. Breakdown of the constant lack of ICU beds Anonymous. One of our producers the change in narrative behind the shortage. Local hospitals in Richland and Kennewick, Washington got into a big spat a few years ago. It was all about who was allowed to build more beds for their hospital. The long and short of the lawsuit is that bed counts are controlled and awarded by the state Department of Health and you just can't get more beds of any type.

[John C. Dvorak]

If you.

[Adam Curry]

Just because you want more, there has to be a proven need in the area and can't take all the customers a neighboring hospital might have room for. There you go. So if you slam every media outlet with we don't have enough ICU beds, you can get the public opinion on your side and get more of the highly profitable beds you would otherwise not be allowed to have. You can also use pressure from the, quote, shortage of beds to say the standards of the department Health are not right and more beds should be allowed because of the unprecedented times has shown that we're not prepared. So this is the undertone.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wow, that's a great note.

[Adam Curry]

Isn't that fantastic?

[John C. Dvorak]

The other thing, that's a great note. That makes nothing but sense.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, that's what. That's the whole reasoning behind the hospital bed shortage. Because you. You can see video after video from around the world. People are standing outside of the emergency room. No one's there. There's no one inside. It's empty now. Not all of them, but it seems bull crappy. But this, this, when I hear this,

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm like, okay, it's all about the money.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's all about the moolah.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. It's all the same sector. I just had an idea so you could say, hey, hey, Dvorak, you're taking the vaccine and you can say, no, I've decided to give up my place for my friend. What's his name? Fill in the blank. Libjo. Because he really needs it more than I do. And then the next time you can see, you can say it about anybody. No, I really feel that my next door neighbor. I'm giving up my spot for him. I'll get to the back of the line. That's the ticket, baby. Have you taken the vaccine?

[John C. Dvorak]

No, no, no.

[Adam Curry]

I'm giving up my space for someone else who needs it. But I think it's better, it's more powerful if you specify it.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, I think that that is exact. That is another one of your little gimmicks. You've come up with a number of these, I'll give you that.

[Adam Curry]

It's a toolkit.

[John C. Dvorak]

That was like the different things you can say to the tsa. You remember those days?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I can't lift my own arms above my head.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's a bunch of things you can do. But that is a great one. And that's what I'm. That's exactly what I'm going to say if people ask me what I'm going to get. No, you know, I think other people need it more than I do.

[Adam Curry]

And you can just say, and go ahead, contact him. Because whenever someone hears, hey, I'm here with Adam Curry, he says he's not going to take the vaccine. He's giving his spot up in line for you. I'm sure most people be like, oh, that's so wonderful. What a nice man.

[John C. Dvorak]

You are a nice man.

[Adam Curry]

One of the best things.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm in on this one.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, good, Noted.

[John C. Dvorak]

Joshua Baxter in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Phillips, scan scandinato. Scandinato. And Staten island can be catching up again. Dave Carey in Clermont, Florida. Jeffrey Lynches. Let me try it. Jeffrey linkage in. Hey, hellers.

[Adam Curry]

You sound like a Dutch retard. Jeffrey lanches in Hella fruit slous.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay,

[Adam Curry]

Adamacurry.com where Dutch retard, which is a contradiction in terms.

[J.C.]

Whoa.

[Adam Curry]

I'm all over it. I'm all over it today, baby.

[John C. Dvorak]

Pre. You know, proto TikTok back in the day called twigs or whatever the hell it was.

[Adam Curry]

Fine, Twigs.

[John C. Dvorak]

Twigs.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, man. It's a new video service by the no Agenda show. Twigs, everybody. Hey, did you post a twig? Yeah, I posted a twig.

[John C. Dvorak]

I posted a twig and a branch and so it has a bud.

[Adam Curry]

There's a thing about eggs. Everyone's noticed the eggs we have. Big egg producer, egg farm catching fire. There's a story out there that people believe that the feed, the chicken feed,

[John C. Dvorak]

has to be you guys.

[Adam Curry]

I have no evidence. Well, there's. There's a lot of people talking about it. I have no evidence, you know.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, there's no evidence. It goes like. Let me summarize. It goes like this. To put a guy on YouTube or TikTok says, you know, I've been feeding my chickens this new. This Purina feed, and they haven't laid an egg for a year. A whole year. This chicken hasn't laid an egg.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

And I got suspicious, so I changed the feed and I gave him some of this and some of that. Now they're laying every once a day, just like usual, which could just be

[Adam Curry]

a change of feed or. I mean, I want to believe it, but I think it gets much better with this report that is now just circulating. This is from pubmed. It is a. Looks like mainly Chinese researchers, but it's. It's published. I won't give away the title. It was published January 2021. Abstract. The SARS CoV2 virus is still spreading worldwide and there is an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic. This study evaluated the potential efficacy of egg yolk antibodies as a neutralizing agent against SARS CoV2. We investigated the neutralizing effect of anti spike S1igys, that's egg yolk antibodies, on the SARS CoV2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the bindings of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to Human Ace 2, which, as we know, that receptor is a big part of people getting sick. Our results show that the anti spike S1 egg yolk antibody showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS CoV2 pseudovirus, various spike protein mutants, and even SARS CoV2 in vitro. It might be a feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID 19. Now we've got a conspiracy theory.

[John C. Dvorak]

That is a beauty.

[J.C.]

Wow.

[Adam Curry]

Now. Now we've got a conspiracy theory.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm giving you 10 points for that, that, that gem.

[Adam Curry]

Thank you. I'll take. I'll take one point from you.

[John C. Dvorak]

There you go.

[Adam Curry]

One point. Isn't that cool?

[John C. Dvorak]

And if you need to eat more eggs.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, then get the book. Go download the book for free, [e-mail]

[John C. Dvorak]

I want to mention. I was up in Port Angeles and I want to just say, anyone who's in the Olympic Peninsula ever. You've got to make a trip out of your way to go to Nash's Produce and buy these. These carrots that he's bred. These carrots are the most astonishing product I've ever had insofar as a carrot is concerned. I mean, listen to the crunch on these things. This is like a carrot that's not even refrigerated.

[Adam Curry]

Ah, come on, let's Plywood, you're cracking there. That's not really.

[John C. Dvorak]

Sounds like a piece of wood. Listen.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, it sounds good. That is an outstanding product.

[John C. Dvorak]

Extremely sweet.

[Adam Curry]

That is an outstanding product right there.

[John C. Dvorak]

John Cdvorak, anyway, he's known for these carrots. Yeah, that's my food. Tip of the day for the people who need the food news.

[Adam Curry]

Hey, you know what? These are things that you learn only on the no Agenda show. And mind you, that impresses the crap out of people when you lay that smack down on them. Are you a guzzler?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. The wine is good here. Muscadine wine is a very peculiar. It's made from a grape that's about the size of a medium sized tomato and it's called a muscadine. And it's really good eating. If you have children, they love eating these things. They're delicious. They have the only muscadine wine that I've ever had that I could actually choke down without gagging. The wine that it makes is really rank, but. And it's made everywhere in the South. I think it's just some sort of a local challenge to see how much of it you can drink before you throw up. I'm not sure. It's never been fully explained to me why they even bother making wine from this stuff. But I have had some from this one post Familia winery up in Arkansas. That makes a good one. By good, I mean you can actually drink it. You know, they make a really good one here in Birmingham. I don't think so. Yeah. So this is actually the size of a large apricot. Each grape. Large apricot, Large apricot, large apricot, large apricot, large apricot. The great Rihanna with her fabulous song Better Give Me My Money. Whatever. It's a very. It's a toe tapper.

[Adam Curry]

So in the words of my late friend Aretha Franklin, show some re at sp I c T. Oh no Y Everybody.

[John C. Dvorak]

No.

[Adam Curry]

Msnbc everybody. Hitman al sharpton spells respect. R e s p I what that. He's getting lunch at Chip the Tortoise in the race. Kim Kardashian, Sigono, Weaver, E, S, P, I, C T. They're all giddy.

[Darren O'Neill]

R, E, S, P I, C T.

[Adam Curry]

There's no real conflict. Resist we must. Resist we must, we must, and we will.

[John C. Dvorak]

Much about that be committed.

[Adam Curry]

Another culinary tip from John C. Dvorak.

[John C. Dvorak]

The thing that's interesting about PG tips to me and a lot of these other teas and we were talking about Sainsbury's has a nice taste called Red Label, which is a competitor, is that the British, when they were colonizing the world, they did these long term deals all over the place for things like tea. So they essentially have. I don't know how long the contract is for the various tea providers, but they get some of the best tea in the world because they kind of locked down these deals permanently back in the 1800s.

[Adam Curry]

Isn't that in some way related to upcoming December 16th when we commemorate the Boston Tea Party?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, the Boston Tea Party is, you know, if you study enough American history. Of course, this gets pretty peculiar as to why the Boston Tea Party took place. But they were trying to shove tea down everybody's throat and they were also stealing it from China and making them take opium. But that was late. That was later.

[Adam Curry]

Here, boys, have some opium. Give us the tea. Woke up this morning singing a new

[John C. Dvorak]

song Everything has changed.

[Adam Curry]

Walking around the same old world it's never gonna be the same but in

[Adam Curry]

keep you there to stay.

[John C. Dvorak]

I hope to see you someday in the morning. Hope to see you someday in the morning. I'm gonna miss you in the morning. You're always there for me in the morning. I hope to see you someday in the morning. In the morning. Yeah, well, just pay attention to what's going on, people.

[John C. Dvorak]

You'll see it.

[Adam Curry]

That's why Clooney's always looking down and all embarrassed.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Clooney doesn't like what he's up to.

[J.C.]

No.

[Adam Curry]

And he has conscience. But I think he's like, damn, man. I got, I got the, the place in, in Cuomo, you know, I got. Got the, the lake house, I got. Got the babes, you know, like, no one questions my homosexual.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

So no questions my homosexuality.

[J.C.]

If you. Right.

[John C. Dvorak]

If you. If you want to see. But he, but he does take a little swipe now and again. I mean if you want. But the most. Those movies are suppressed. But if you want to see a good movie, there's actually a couple of them he's done and they're always the art pieces. The American is a good movie. It's about an assassin.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, very good movie.

[John C. Dvorak]

Syriana.

[J.C.]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

And men who speak to goats stare at goats.

[J.C.]

Right?

[John C. Dvorak]

Syrian and men who speak to goats.

[Adam Curry]

And then that one, men and the goats who look scared next to them.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. And then the other one is the one that he. That Swinton won the Academy Award for which I think is just. I've watched that. It's one of the few movies I'll actually watch if it's. If it's on.

[Adam Curry]

What was that?

[John C. Dvorak]

Let me see. Clooney.

[Adam Curry]

Is it on Tuesdays on CBS at the 9, 8 Central?

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it might be. Let's see what this film I like

[Adam Curry]

the Men who stare at Goats. That was a pretty good movie. It was weird.

[John C. Dvorak]

He does a lot of films. I mean this guy's just.

[Adam Curry]

And there was droning in that too. That was kind of cool. That was the first kind of droning, droning movie.

[John C. Dvorak]

Up in the Air was actually a good film but it wasn't a political movie. It was just about pathetic guy. Michael Clayton.

[Adam Curry]

That's the name of the movie.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, Michael Clayton is one of the. It's just a great, great film. Is about a fixer in a big law firm and it is riveting and it's got all kinds of creepy stuff going on. It's really you. If you haven't seen Michael Clayton, you have to watch it. Just rent it, get it on Netflix, whatever.

[Adam Curry]

Sounds like. Sounds like a very good no agenda movie tip.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, that's her no agenda movie tip of the day. Well, with the passing of John C. Dvorak, I think is only fitting that

[Adam Curry]

I declare July 20th a national holiday in the honor of John, the co creator of the best podcast in the universe. Meanwhile, back to the news of the day.

[John C. Dvorak]

Fart Gate now. I don't know. Is this. Do we know? Has this been verified? Did he admit to this or has this been just doctored?

[Adam Curry]

Well, trust but verify. I'm pretty sure it's. It was real. You can't know for sure. I can't know for sure because I wasn't watching it. So I do not know.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, well if it was real. He's miked with a lavalier.

[Adam Curry]

Thank you. But I have the answer to this. This is the whole point. First the Clip of Fartgate. We have Chris Matthews, msnbc, interviewing Eric Swalwell, who just fresh from the hearing,

[John C. Dvorak]

and he's in the halls of Congress.

[Adam Curry]

In the halls of Congress. And so far is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. So, yes, the analysis that you started is spot on, because when I saw it, I'm just going to assume it's real. This is very simple. This is Chris Williams. What's his name? Wallace Matthews. He's. So he asked a question. They switched to Swalwell. He's sitting on a chair in a studio. He's like, all right, Swalwell. I'm just gonna let one rip here for a second. It bounces off the chair. That's why you could hear was Matthews. Matthews dealt it.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right, here's the problem with that. Swalwell paused like he couldn't talk through the fart.

[Adam Curry]

No, no, no. He heard the fart, and it scared him. He was a blast. He was like, what the hell did you just do? Someone's fart.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, I'm not gonna buy that because there's no real time here. There's always a lag, and the lag is long enough that you would've.

[Adam Curry]

No, I looked at that angle. They have a hardwired connection between the halls of Congress and the studios. There's almost zero lag. But it doesn't take away from the fact that there's no way you can get that direct a sound from flatulence in the halls of Congress with a. With just a boom mic or even with a lavalier, but in a studio against the backdrop of a chair. I mean, especially if it's a leather chair.

[John C. Dvorak]

But he's gonna. Okay, well, it's up for debate, but so far it appears as though this actually. This event was not. Not a fake.

[Adam Curry]

No, this is a real event. And they call old dudes like that an old fart for a reason. Come on. It's logical.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Old fart.

[Adam Curry]

Why is an old fart. Because old guys fart.

[John C. Dvorak]

Need to take some.

[Adam Curry]

And I think it's shameful that he didn't at least tweet and let Swalwell off the hook. Okay. And that's the fart gate. It didn't last long, but, man, it was a nice break in the day, wasn't it?

[John C. Dvorak]

It was a break.

[Adam Curry]

It was a nice little break. What is the theory of fractals and what really is their importance?

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, I can't tell you exactly. I Can't explain the theory. I can kind of understand it before I can explain it, okay? But it's essentially that everything is self iterative in a way that all nature, and it really refers mostly to nature, it's self iterative in a way that you can actually formulate a structure that is mathematically accurate because no one's ever been out. There's all these things over time that they said, look a mountainside, you take a look at it crumble down, say, you know, you can't. There's no math that can explain what you're looking at. Whereas mathematicians say you can explain everything with a. Math. With math. And fractal theory says, no, that's not true. You can explain that with math. If you use fractal math. If you look at the way fractals work, you can actually explain these natural phenomena, things in nature like a mountain. With this modeling that this guy's developed. And what we think of as fractals in the computer business are Mandelbrot's little designs that he makes where he takes one of these formulas, puts it in and it just starts to iterate and makes this really funky looking thing.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, a screensaver, you mean?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, that kind of thing.

[Adam Curry]

It's a screensaver. This whole theory is based on a screensaver, ladies and gentlemen. I just want you to know that.

[John C. Dvorak]

And you know, essentially, I mean, frightening now that people are starting to think in terms of fractals. They. For example, the reason, if you don't know this, that's. You know, if you look at a cell phone, a mobile phone from a few years ago, it used to have an antenna. Some of them would come out. All the antennas now are fractal antennas and they're inside the phone. Because you don't need an antenna when you have a. What essentially is a fractal antenna, which is a bunch of little things old,

[Adam Curry]

which comes down to the energy, you know, within the ether, which I'm sure is, is a fractal, you know, also has these same fractal properties. And that's how maybe we're all connected or how everything starts to come together as we start to understand all of that wireless.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm gonna really be saddened when the new age people get a hold of this theory and they start to come up with their crackpot analysis.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Hold on.

[Adam Curry]

But when technologists get a hold of it and start to really understand it, it could be very exciting. We could get some fantastic shit out of this.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, that's how we got the fractal Antenna. Right.

[Adam Curry]

That's exciting. We improved text messaging. That is a good job. Wait a minute. That should be another 800 billion on the bailout, the stimulus package.

[John C. Dvorak]

But to come up with a good three sentence explanation of fractals, I think it'd be valuable. I'm sure there's one out there. I don't have it.

[Adam Curry]

Wait, I'm just recalling.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes, yes.

[Adam Curry]

It was around episode 200. Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

It was 202, as a matter of fact. Roy Pierce. Eleven. Eleven dollars and zero cents.

[Adam Curry]

What?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Wow.

[John C. Dvorak]

He came in as an instant.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'll say. Listeners to watch the movie President's Analyst. It was. It was thought to be satire 45 years ago, but turned out to be mostly true.

[Adam Curry]

Wow. President. Who was in this movie?

[John C. Dvorak]

I vaguely remember. I think this was with. With. With the guy used to play our man Flint, I'm guessing. Take a look.

[Adam Curry]

I'm taking a look right now. The President's Analyst, 1967. Satirical. This is from the Book of Knowledge, satirical comedy written by Theodore Flicker. James Coburn. Okay, that's a real. Yeah, that's a real actor. See, the film's elements of political satire, science fiction resembles many of the spy spoofs that proliferated in the mid-60s in the wake of the James Bond phenomenon. Yeah. Our Man Flynt. Wow. John will give you. Yeah, that's right. Okay. The film's themes include modern ethics and privacy concerns, specifically regarding the intrusion of the telecom system working with the US Government into the private lives of the country's citizens. Oh, my God. This is so on my list.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, you have to watch. I've seen it recently. It is very fun and it's funny. It's a funny movie. Although Coburn gets on your nerves because he plays this carrot. This just a. I don't know.

[Adam Curry]

Well, it's also the. Actually the acting from the. From the.

[John C. Dvorak]

From the 60s.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, that's a little.

[Mimi Dvorak]

A little.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's also the sets are really bright and all the rest. Okay, cool. Anyway, good. That's our tip of the day.

[Adam Curry]

Now let's look at some US Clampdown that's taking place. We got Twitter. Twitter kicked off. The President of the United States is making sure you can't post anything about vaccines or about variants or anything really political or medical. You just kicked off. I don't have a Facebook account, but I think it's pretty much the same. And we know that what happened with Instagram, and there's this really one place left that for some reason, you know, they can't Control. It's becoming very, very annoying to those that control the speech. ProPublica journalist. I say that with emphasis. Lydia DePillis wrote quite an article about the evilness of podcasting. That's what you and I. Yes, yes, podcasting, because they can't control it. There is no social control over what these damn podcasters are saying. And this is a problem. And Apple is not being cooperative. So how can it be that this

[Mimi Dvorak]

kind of junk is allowed on Apple, Apple's podcast app. Right, but not on Twitter, not on YouTube.

[Adam Curry]

What's the difference here? Yeah, well, in America we have this policy where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules as to what content they will allow. And what a crazy country. Can you believe that, John? We have these weird rules in America where we let people decide what they want to do. And not like China where this woman clearly takes her cues from where the government tells everybody we got rules and regs. Yeah, well, in America we have this policy where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules to what content they will allow.

[Mimi Dvorak]

And the thing with podcasts is that it's a little bit different in that company.

[Adam Curry]

Like Apple can say we just list podcasts.

[Mimi Dvorak]

We essentially run a directory.

[Adam Curry]

We don't host them. So that content is actually housed somewhere else, but we allow people to access it through our platform.

[Mimi Dvorak]

So there's a little bit of a

[Adam Curry]

dodge that they do there. But they do have terms of service that says here's what we will and won't allow. It's just very, very loose.

[Mimi Dvorak]

And so a company like YouTube, which

[Adam Curry]

is Google or Twitter, has actually established pretty proactive policies on, in terms of election misinformation, which Apple just simply doesn't do at all. Apple is not doing it right. So, you know, this is. They're trying to go after Apple. Very, very light touch because, you know, I actually like my iPhone. I don't want to piss anybody off. Oh, they might not get the new beta because that's how these a holes think. But the worst part of this, the worst part of this woman is what comes next. And I'll just say this woman, I say with disdain.

[John C. Dvorak]

Let's. Well, let's back up again and give us. Who is this woman again?

[Adam Curry]

Lydia DePillis from ProPublica.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, ProPublica person.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, a ProPublica person. Oh, they get a lot of airtime, the ProPublica people.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's just like a group of idealist journalists.

[Adam Curry]

You'll remember that David Korn launched the whole pee pee tape Russian collusion dossier on ProPublica.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right, I think that did it. That, that summarizes everything.

[Adam Curry]

So all of all the things that she's.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wait a minute, hold on. Yeah, so we got another situation here where journalists are bitching and moaning about free speech. And these are the same journalists that. Journalists that don't like WikiLeaks because it reveals too many secret documents which they should be happy to see. Or they're the same ones as Slammin Snowden or the same journalists. I'm thinking of Richard Engel in this case, who doesn't want to see that. The release, CIA torture memo. These types of people. So ProPublica is anti. They're anti journalists. Journalists. Nice.

[Adam Curry]

Good for them. She is advocating for shutting down speech that she doesn't agree with. That is her whole article. And you know, to say, well, Apple has a dodge here because they're Jocelyn Indocs, but they have times and cybers. They're not following all that back. But what blows me away is this journalist who I'm going to presume is a technology journalist. What she says next is the biggest pile of horse crap in the world.

[Mimi Dvorak]

There's obviously been so much discussion, particularly

[Adam Curry]

I think you're seeing it on the conservative side, discussion about cancel culture de platforming.

[John C. Dvorak]

Right.

[Adam Curry]

Where is free speech, etc.

[Mimi Dvorak]

It seems like as you report, it

[Adam Curry]

may just be a matter of time before there is a buildup of like

[Mimi Dvorak]

alternative streaming universes where ones that don't depend on these tech giants at all. How hard is that though to actually

[Adam Curry]

start happening or how likely is it? Well, at the moment it's very difficult. The, the landscape of tech platforms at the moment is pretty consolidated in that most people consume content through means that are supported by companies like Amazon through its Amazon Web Services product or through Apple, Apple through its iPhone or through Google through its browser.

[Mimi Dvorak]

So in order to build up a

[Adam Curry]

tech ecosystem that is free of all those where you could broadcast whatever content

[Mimi Dvorak]

you like, then it's the kind of

[Adam Curry]

infrastructure that doesn't really exist right now. Sites like Gab are really straining under the weight of new traffic that they're receiving. So this under informed, over socialized twat is telling us the infrastructure doesn't really exist to set up alternatives because you know you're really beholden to the App Store and Amazon Web Services. I challenge you to a debate, punk.

[John C. Dvorak]

This is nonsense.

[Adam Curry]

Look at us.

[John C. Dvorak]

We are literally five major, five major video sources out there now.

[Adam Curry]

Thank you. One of which has been no Agenda

[John C. Dvorak]

Tube.com no Agenda Tube which is, I wouldn't put into the top five, but it's there. And then there's the, obviously the federated and other chat systems. And then there's things that signals like, and telegraph. All these things are out there, you know, which people are condemning them.

[Adam Curry]

And how about podcast index.org which is talking about podcast in the podcast index,

[John C. Dvorak]

by the way, which is your baby. You can toot your own horn, but as far as I'm concerned, I'll toot it. This is the alternative of alternatives that will prevent the future demise of podcasting. And it's something you recognize about a year or two ago, probably because of

[Adam Curry]

this show, of course.

[John C. Dvorak]

And you've decided to go ahead with this, this podcasting 2.0, which has taken off quite nicely and eventually will be absorbed into this. The great. Yeah, she's full of crap.

[Adam Curry]

Go podcasting.

[John C. Dvorak]

But I will say this, that the pathetic thing is that she's got a, she's got a voice and that people are asking her, why is she even around?

[Adam Curry]

Well, you know what? She is the new wave. This is the same type of person who was at the New York Times.

[John C. Dvorak]

So back to real news, by the way, I have a complaint. So I go to. I noticed and I didn't realize that this is an ongoing complaint. I noticed it the other day. So I'm at Monterey Foods buying vegetables, which is a greengrocer, and it's a good one. And I'm in there and it's. Of course it's a, it's a. In Berkeley. So it's like at a Berkeley style of customer. In other words, people that look like they're just about to die.

[Adam Curry]

Were any in the, in the PETA?

[John C. Dvorak]

They're all in PETA camp, many of

[Adam Curry]

them, you know, so they're keeling over, they're holding on to their Zimmer frames.

[John C. Dvorak]

So that's just like a horrible group. Every once in a while I've seen a younger woman that maybe just moved into the area and she goes into Monterey Foods with her makeup on because she's going shopping and she feels obliged because maybe she's from the Midwest or Texas, where she feels obliged to actually look presentable in public as opposed to wearing baggy ass crap and hair and with gobs of goo like dog shit kind of in it. And you know, I'm telling you, I'm just describing the scene so you can get a feeling for it. I'm with you.

[Adam Curry]

I'm smelling the dog shit.

[John C. Dvorak]

And so you see these women that come in they're made up and they walk in and they take one look around. They stop. Like they hit a brick wall right at the entrance and you see them. Boom. They hit this brick wall. And then they freeze. And you see their eyes going back and forth and back and forth and they slowly walk backwards back into the parking lot.

[Adam Curry]

Never really wrong store.

[John C. Dvorak]

I have seen. It's like going into a gay bar. It's like, this isn't right.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Just.

[Adam Curry]

Can I have my coat back there.

[John C. Dvorak]

Used to this avenue. We had a. When I was in. I think it was just a. In college or something. We were floating around doing bar hopping and there used to be this place. I realized it was a gay bar called Mike's. I think it was called Mike's Pole Hall Hall. And it was in San Francisco in the north beach area. And there's like three or four of us. We did that exact same thing. We walked in and we just hit this brick wall. Just like a whole like 500 guys turned around and looked at you and it was like, what? Oh, oops. And then we slowly walked backwards. Okay, so I'm at the Monterey Foods and I'm trying to, you know, check out and there is. The line is held up because apparently there was some kind of a middle aged, gray haired, frumpy woman that was grousing because she had brought her canvas bags and they had mistakenly packed the vegetables into a sack. A normal paper.

[Adam Curry]

Oh no, the horrors of it.

[John C. Dvorak]

She had to stop the presses. They had to.

[Darren O'Neill]

Uncle.

[Adam Curry]

Let me see your supervisor.

[John C. Dvorak]

They had to undress, unpacked the paper bag as they repacked it into her beat up old dirty canvas bags that look like they haven't been washed for like a year at least. And you know, so I realized that these, you know, there's this trend. It's actually died off a little bit. But there was a trend for a while where it was cool to have a canvas bag that you drag to the store. And I know in Europe this is always promoted because they charge you like a nickel for the bags there.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, they do it at store Sainsbury.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, they ch. Well all throughout France. I know you have to pay for the bag. It's kind of like. It's very confusing to people who aren't used to paying for a bag that costs like 0.1 1.00001 cents of worth of plastic.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

But okay, whatever. Anyway, so. But I read there was this trend for a while and people were having. And so everyone had these, you know, These, these grimy old canvas bags, which didn't, you know, they, they. It didn't really hold that much, as a matter of fact. And I don't know, I was just galling to me, having to sit there while she was making all these demands on the staff. Back to the base, my favorite debater. I saved her clips for last.

[Adam Curry]

Amy Klobuchar. Yes. I thought she was fantastic. I love Amy Klobuchar.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

As a comedian, let me tell you, if I had to choose from any person on that stage, I choose her.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, let's listen to a couple of things I got from her. For one thing, I've got a pretty good ISO.

[Adam Curry]

It's even called a pretty good ISO. I think that sounds pretty good. Nah, that's our end of show right there. I'm putting.

[John C. Dvorak]

I got more.

[Adam Curry]

I'm putting it into the slot just in case.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right, here. You know, we'd like to talk about people dropping the T. Oh, yeah, this is an absolute beauty because I didn't know you could drop the T with this word.

[Adam Curry]

My Republican opponents have gotten out of politics for good. Opponents.

[John C. Dvorak]

Opponent.

[Adam Curry]

What? What was that? Let me just say opponent.

[John C. Dvorak]

She's trying to say opponent.

[Adam Curry]

My Republican opponents. Opponent. She's dropping a p. She's dropping a P. Entity.

[John C. Dvorak]

Opponent.

[Adam Curry]

My Republican opponents have gotten out of politics for good. Yeah, under stress, people do make mistakes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, she was shaken like a leaf as us.

[Adam Curry]

No, it wasn't as bad as it has been in the past.

[John C. Dvorak]

It wasn't as bad as the first debate, but it was bad. Considering how many she's done.

[Adam Curry]

She's nervous sound as an eye twitcher and a Tourette sufferer. It doesn't bother me. I think it makes her look interesting.

[John C. Dvorak]

I think worse than that is still the schoolboy thing where Bernie's holding his hand up for the teacher to call on him, like throughout the entire debate. Call on me, teacher. And then Tom Steyer, by the way, when he talked.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, he.

[John C. Dvorak]

First of all, he has a fake smile at the beginning because I guess somebody told him, hey, Tom, smile a little bit. So he puts on this fake stupid looking smile and then he goes right back into his dour look. And then he rolls his head in a circle as he talks, and it's clockwise and he's rolling his head in a circle as he talks. And I'm watching him.

[Darren O'Neill]

Whoa.

[John C. Dvorak]

Here's Amy talking about her. One of her friends whose name she can't remember. This is the big gaffe.

[Adam Curry]

What do you say to people who say That a can't win this election. I hear that when you look at the facts. Michigan has a woman governor right now, and she beat a Republican, Gretchen Whitmer. Kansas has a woman governor right now,

[J.C.]

and she beat Kris Kobach.

[John C. Dvorak]

And her name is.

[J.C.]

I'm very proud to know her.

[Mimi Dvorak]

And her name is Governor Kelly. Thank you.

[Adam Curry]

Her name is. But keep your eye on her. She's got something going.

[John C. Dvorak]

And by the way, she has her lipstick on. Like, it's a big square block of lipstick. So she looks like a kind of a Nick Parks character. You know, Wallace and Gromit. It's just this funny look.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, well, there you go.

[John C. Dvorak]

Cheap Greek wine. As long as he doesn't, you know, did wine that used to be popular or not, it never was really popular. It was just kind of a curiosity that the Greeks supposedly drank. And even though I've never run into a Greek that liked this stuff, which is retsina.

[Adam Curry]

What's it called?

[John C. Dvorak]

Retsina.

[Adam Curry]

Retsina.

[John C. Dvorak]

And last time I was in Greece, I always make sure to have a glass of the best retsina I can find, which is like drinking. I don't know what is. It's the worst product in the world. Essentially. What it is is some sort of a wine that harkens back to the Greco Roman times. When they. To seal the jugs of wine, they used a tree resin as a cork. And so the tree resin, or they put a piece of block of wood in there and put some resin, but there's resin involved, and the resin would always leach into the wine and make it taste like tree resin. So he was, like, drinking a little bit like drinking turpentine. And it's just really one of the most gosh, awful things in the world. And that's really what cheap Greek wine is. Okay, just a little lecture for the people. They always want more wine information. Yeah. Well, there's your wine tip for the day. Look for some retsina. They do bring it in the United States. You can buy it at a store. It's very inexpensive. It's like five bucks a bottle, maybe six. And you can try it.

[Adam Curry]

It sounds like something not to try, actually.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, you should have it once in your life.

[Adam Curry]

It's so obvious now. This is a complete destabilization of Europe, and we're going to squash them like a bug.

[J.C.]

Bug.

[Adam Curry]

Like a bug under a bomb.

[John C. Dvorak]

The eu, as our friend Newland said.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, goodness.

[John C. Dvorak]

If we go back to that and we listen to this clip and we listen to the fdeu we start to understand what might actually be going on.

[Adam Curry]

We should just for, you know, not everyone understands this because they weren't around when we played this the first time in 2014. This is when the US was installing a new government into Ukraine and Victoria Nuland was caught with. Well, was recorded at high quality, very

[John C. Dvorak]

high quality by the Russians, obviously, on

[Adam Curry]

a phone call where she was talking to her compatriot, who I think was. Was he the ambassador at the time? Not sure. Ambassador maybe. But they were discussing, you know, oh, who we gotta put in. Yeah, Klitsch. Now, Klitsch is no good. We gotta have that guy saying, yeah, we can have Biden come out here and bless the deal. He'll kiss the babies. It'll all be good. Biden. Biden. And then it was like, well, you know, they're not going to like what we're doing. The eu, but. And then she just said that, fuck the eu. And there you have it.

[John C. Dvorak]

With great disdain.

[Adam Curry]

Yes. Should we play that clip again? What do you think?

[John C. Dvorak]

I think we're in play.

[Adam Curry]

We're in play. The Klitschko piece is obviously the complications electron here, especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister. And you've seen some of my notes on the troubles in the marriage right now. So we're trying to get a read really fast on where he is on. Listen to these terms they use. We're in play. Yeah, like, we got a little trouble here on the marriage because they're just. It's like shotgun wedding. We were fusing everything together, handing out cookies.

[John C. Dvorak]

But I think your argument to him, which he'll need to make.

[Adam Curry]

I think that's the next phone call

[John C. Dvorak]

we want to say. Up is exactly the one you made to yachts.

[Adam Curry]

And I'm glad you said that's Yatsenyuk, who later did become prime minister for a moment, put him on the spot on where he fits in this scenario. And I'm very glad he said what he said in response.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, we should also mention that Klitschko is currently the mayor.

[Adam Curry]

The mayor of Kiev. Kiev, good. So I don't think cleats should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

So I just make it not happen. That's how democratically elected countries work. Victoria. Nuland says, I don't think he should go in. And he doesn't. Yeah, I mean, I guess he's not agreeing, by the way. You think in terms of him not going into the government. Just let him sort of stay out and do his political homework and stuff. I'm just thinking in terms of sort of the process moving ahead. We want to keep the moderate Democrats together. The problem is going to be Tiny Book and his guys. No tiny boat. And, you know, I'm sure that's part

[John C. Dvorak]

of what Yanukovych is calculating on all of this.

[Adam Curry]

Yanukovych was. Was that the guy they were putting in or was. The guy was going out?

[John C. Dvorak]

I can't remember where he was.

[Adam Curry]

The guy going out. I think it was going. I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience. He's. He's the guy. You know, what he needs is Cleech and Tiny Book on the outside. He needs to be talking to them four times a week. Yeah, she's now. She's now actually not just putting people into government, but. But arranging their agenda.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Doing their calendar for calendar. You know, this is a democrat republic. This is the democratic right country that we're saving for democracy.

[Adam Curry]

Democracy. I just think Cleech going in. He's going to be at that level working for Yatsenyuk. It's just not going to work.

[John C. Dvorak]

No.

[Adam Curry]

Not going to work.

[Darren O'Neill]

Okay.

[Adam Curry]

What do you think, John? Not going to work? I think just now going to work. Let him just do his political homework on the outside.

[John C. Dvorak]

Good.

[Adam Curry]

Would you want us to try to

[John C. Dvorak]

set up a call with him? Is the next step.

[Adam Curry]

My understanding from that call, but you tell me, was that the big three were going into their own meeting and

[Mimi Dvorak]

that Yats was going to offer in

[Adam Curry]

that context, three ways. You know, the three plus one conversation or three plus two with you. Is that not how you understood it? No, I think. I mean, that's what he proposed. But I think just knowing the dynamic that's been with them, where Klitschko has been the top dog, he's going to take a while to show up for whatever meeting they've got. And he's probably talking to his guys at this point. So I think you reaching out directly to him helps with the personality management among the three. This is literally how we used to pitch like, you know, Gillette, all right, you talk to your guy and I'll talk to my guy, and you work him from the back end and we'll get the big three or maybe three plus two. We'll get him into the meeting, we'll pitch him on the. With the PowerPoint and we'll be good to go. And it gives you also a Chance

[John C. Dvorak]

to move fast on all this stuff

[Adam Curry]

and put us behind you behind it. Before they all sit down and he, oh, yeah, let's move fast before they figure out what we. How we've hoodwinked them. He explains why he doesn't like it. This is good to review. There's. I can see there's trolls who have never heard this record.

[Darren O'Neill]

They.

[Adam Curry]

They haven't.

[John C. Dvorak]

2014. So it's a bit. It's a bit. It's like nine years ago.

[J.C.]

It is.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, so I'm happy. Why don't you reach out to him and see if he wants to talk before or after. All right. How do we put a bow? Bound this, Vicki. How do we wrap this all up?

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, do.

[Darren O'Neill]

Thanks.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, I've now written. Oh, one more wrinkle for you, Jeff. Oh, wrinkle, wrinkle. Stand by, Jeff. I got a wrinkle.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Can't remember if I told you this or if I only told Washington this.

[John C. Dvorak]

That.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, because, you know, you're not in the loop on everything. Jeff, just. So you talked to Jeff Feltman this morning. He had a new name for the UN guy, Robert Seri. Did I write you that this morning? Yeah, I saw that. He's now gotten both Sari and Bon Ki Moon to agree that Sari could come in Monday or Tuesday. Oh, that's right. They had Bunky Moon in on the deal. The Secretary General of the UN to, you know, we'll bless the deal. Bonkey Moon will come in. That guy's half dead anyway. Just didn't even speak English. Just let him mumble.

[Darren O'Neill]

Okay.

[Adam Curry]

So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it. Yeah, have the UN help glue it. Because that's what's good.

[John C. Dvorak]

Glue.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Glue it and, you know, fuck the eu.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, exactly. And I think we've got to do something to make it stick together.

[John C. Dvorak]

Exactly.

[Adam Curry]

Now let's just go back for a second. So she's saying we'll have the. We'll have the UN glue it. Because clearly the United European Union is like, what are you guys doing in our backyard? This is not so cool. So we're going to have this thing glued for the whole world and fuck you. Fuck you, eu. If I only told Washington this, that when I talked to Jeff Feltman.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wait, wait. When she said fuck the eu, I think she was specifically saying, we're going to have the UN do it and fuck the eu. Meaning we're by. We're skipping them and anything that they have to say about It.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, because the un greater than sign euro you no agenda. You know agenda show has the has receipts people.

[John C. Dvorak]

You know, this is so scandalous. And it was played by. It was played up zero by the media.

[Adam Curry]

Zero. Well she used an expletive on a call, you know, so we can't play the expletive because she said a bad word. It's not about that. People listen to what they're doing. What they did, they did it.

[John C. Dvorak]

I did catch a. I can't say it's native. I think it is native advertising for credit cards, but it also has all these sub. There's a lot of subtext involved. Again, NBC and this is about just kind of a rundown of the benefits of credit card usage. I thought it was. This will be my Dvorak tip of the day because there's a lot of good information in here. But as I, I had mixed feelings about running because I believed it was a native ad to begin with. And then it. I don't know what the purpose was. And it was also kind of promoting the cashless society, which I don't like. But I thought there was a lot of good information in this particular native ad on NBC, which I didn't realize they did.

[Adam Curry]

All right, everybody stand by. Right after this clip, it'll be time for Dvorak's tip of the day.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, this is the tip of the day.

[Adam Curry]

Here's the tip of the day. What you might call the hidden power of plastic perks and benefits.

[John C. Dvorak]

A lot of credit card holders don't

[Adam Curry]

even know they have have ways to get refunds, get services without any charges, saving you money in the process. NBC's Joe Lynn Kent explains. As you use your credit card this holiday season, you should know it may have hidden benefits that can save you big money in a pinch. I was super scared. I didn't know what to do. When Lauren Bergman's car broke down, she called the number on the back of

[J.C.]

her American Express card.

[Mimi Dvorak]

As a last resort, the company sent

[Adam Curry]

a token truck free of charge. I never in a million years would have imagined that my credit card could do all the things that it could do and that they would be my saving grace. And when Bergman dropped and shattered her

[Mimi Dvorak]

iPhone after her Apple warranty was up,

[Adam Curry]

her card gave her a 100% refund. Many popular credit cards offer these kinds of little known benefits. According to a recent survey, 81% offer extended warranties. 57% provide purchase protection like reimbursing you for items that are lost, stolen or damaged. 47% give price protection, refunding the difference if the price drops on an item within four months after purchase. And 26% guarantee returns even when stores don't. You could be missing out on hundreds of dollars a year in extra benefits from your credit card company. Everything from roadside assistance to paying for your hotel if you miss your flight due to weather related travel concerns. But they don't cover everything. They usually exclude cars, jewelry, medical equipment and computer software. At the end of the day, you never know when it could really help you out. Experts say call or check online to discover the perks that may be hiding in plain sight. Jolene Kent, NBC News, New York. Up next, that's the tip.

[John C. Dvorak]

I think it was a tip and I remember that. I think American Express, depending on the card you have, would actually cover your extra insurance that you could pay for a rental car rental. But by the way, this also incorporated fake news, NBC's version of fake news. Because that woman who was super scared and she realized she gets a free tow. She could call a tow truck herself, but she gets a free tow from American Express. They showed her on the phone in her car. They showed the tow truck coming in and then they showed her happy as a, as a clam as the tow truck took her car off.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I would say that's native ad for sure.

[John C. Dvorak]

Sure, it was a native ad and that was fake news. There was no way that this woman was. Had a camera crew with her when her car broke down and she was so super scared. So what was that? That was a reenactment. It did not say reenactment at the bottom of the screen.

[Adam Curry]

They should just use one of our jingles.

[John C. Dvorak]

Which one?

[Adam Curry]

Well, I know. And you choose which one you want. We got tons of them.

[John C. Dvorak]

Fake news.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, we got tons of fake news. We got anything you want. Hey, hey, hey. You read that?

[John C. Dvorak]

That's right.

[Adam Curry]

Everybody use your Amex. It's got fake news on it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Anyway, I decided to throw that out there as the tip.

[Adam Curry]

More importantly, you bought a pig.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yo. Yeah, we had a. Well, I've gotten. Yeah, we bought. Well, we bought a pig to eat.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

I'd like to hear the story about the pig you bought to eat. Did you and Michael Butler bought a pig?

[John C. Dvorak]

We split a pig.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, you split a pig. So how does this process go? Where do you do you go to the pig market? The pig store?

[John C. Dvorak]

We bought this from Future Farmers of America auction at the Alameda County Fair.

[Adam Curry]

They have a website. Do you do this online or you go.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, no, you have to go to

[Adam Curry]

the auction and you see the pig and you go like, you look tasty. Is that how it works?

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, Butler's approach was low bid, low ball. Every, every pig that came up until one got through.

[Adam Curry]

He didn't really want to buy the pig is what you're saying.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, no, he wanted to buy the pig, but he was real strict on what he's going to pay.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

And even though it's like a tax write off and there's a bunch of.

[Adam Curry]

Wait a minute. Buying a pig is a tax write off?

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, if you buy a pig at an auction for future farmers of America or 4H at a, at a county fair and you pay $0.01 over the market price of hogs, and then at that point, which you will, because these pigs are not cheap, you get to write off that market money as a charitable contribution because the money goes to the kids who get to, you know, it helps them to college to get to go to school.

[Adam Curry]

What kid?

[John C. Dvorak]

The kids are the kids who raise the pigs.

[Adam Curry]

You took a pig from a kid?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. And apparently the kid was in tears.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, no.

[John C. Dvorak]

And Martina was there, Butler's daughter, and she says that she doesn't know if she can eat the pig named Rosie. Butler, on the other hand, got a picture with the pig and so he got this. By the way, the pig is delicious. So. So, so Butler got it. And, and the, the kid, apparently they all do this and you have to kind of, I guess, tolerate it. The kid, a little 11 year old girl, you know, she's in tears.

[Adam Curry]

It was her, it was her pet pig. And you told, you took the pig and ate it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

You're such a horrible man. You should go back. You should go back to the kid. Say, here, you want some bacon from your pet?

[John C. Dvorak]

But you know, she was right. The pig was raised to be eaten, not to be hanging around the house.

[Adam Curry]

So you're a mean old man. I wasn't there. You're a horrible man.

[John C. Dvorak]

Who was the mean old man? Hey, kid.

[Adam Curry]

Your pig looks delicious.

[John C. Dvorak]

Butler wants a picture with the pig. He wants to know the name of the pig. So anyway, so we went out to. Went to the butcher, a great butcher out in Manteca.

[Adam Curry]

Wait a minute. Wait. Can I ask you. I need to understand the process. So you had the pig and the pig is at this point alone.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

So the pig is like squiddy, squeezy squiddy. And you take. So there's a kid crying over here. There's Butler doing Facebook pictures with the pig and you're taking the Pig to a great butcher.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, the butcher's fantastic.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. So anyway, it's a good. It's a Portuguese butcher, and they actually make a linguista just at the shop. You have to go there to get.

[J.C.]

Get it.

[John C. Dvorak]

So anyway, yeah, so he bought a pig and. And there was all. It's a process. I'm gonna write a little paper on this and sell it. Is he doing a meetup in Yellowstone? That's what he wants to know. My wife has always been wanting to go and would love to meet him. She has a crush on him from the MTV days.

[Adam Curry]

I hope I don't disappoint in irl.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, actually, you look pretty much like you did then.

[Adam Curry]

No, I don't. The hair is much shorter.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, you don't have that ludicrous wig.

[Adam Curry]

It was not a wig. A hole wasn't a wig. Look at your own hair. Just because it's thinning out. Be careful, man.

[John C. Dvorak]

Take a look at that hair.

[Adam Curry]

It was not. It was not a wig. This is ridiculous. Now you sound like every dickhead who says something about Donald Trump's hair. This is how stupid it is.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, I've never said that with that wig. Well, look like a wig.

[Adam Curry]

How about those glasses? When you couldn't pull apart the stupid PC in the video, Devore asked back. You're looking like Buggles.

[John C. Dvorak]

Those are the glasses that were avant garde during that era.

[Adam Curry]

Avant garde? How about avant douche?

[John C. Dvorak]

Here's another big story. This is the one on conspiracies, even apocalyptic. We all crave explanations for things we don't understand.

[Adam Curry]

So some of us fill in the

[John C. Dvorak]

blanks with conspiracy theories. We dug into that with Anna Merlin,

[Adam Curry]

author of Republic of Lies. American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power. Hey, how come we weren't interviewed? What the hell is that? There's a whole book. American Conspiracy Theorists. Did you get a call? Did you get an email memo?

[J.C.]

Nothing.

[Adam Curry]

It used to be that far right conspiracy theories went from fringe sites, some of them actual disinformation sites, to eventually places like Fox News. And that's sort of where they stopped. And now they have another stop, which

[Mimi Dvorak]

is they go from Fox News to the president. President. Or from fringe sites like infowars straight to the President.

[Adam Curry]

Again, again, again, we're being snubbed. Hello, Hello? Crackpot here. I'd like my props. And this problem continues to get worse and worse. What is the logical extension of all of this? Oh, this is so good.

[J.C.]

John.

[Adam Curry]

What do you think is really happening in the world when it comes from Infowars straight to the president. Out of control tinfoil hattery. So one thesis is that especially state backed disinformation sources like the ones we've

[Mimi Dvorak]

seen in Russia, like the Internet Research

[Adam Curry]

Agency, that one of their goals is

[John C. Dvorak]

to make the information ecosystem so chaotic

[Adam Curry]

and so unstable and so unreliable that people start believing that.

[John C. Dvorak]

That the actual objective truth is not

[Adam Curry]

knowable and that they should stop looking for it. Oh, success.

[Darren O'Neill]

Wow.

[Adam Curry]

Believe this.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

No.

[John C. Dvorak]

So conspiracies by the way. Only right wing. There's never been a left wing conspiracy. They're all right wing.

[Adam Curry]

Wait, stop. Clip of the day for that one. Just out of the. Just definitely clip of the day.

[John C. Dvorak]

She up talks through this whole thing.

[Adam Curry]

They're all right wing.

[John C. Dvorak]

And. And it all culminated in Fox News.

[Adam Curry]

That's right. And the other route is from Infowars direct to the President.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Alex Jones hotline to Trump. Hey, listen up. Here's what's going. Wait until you hear my update on Seth Rich. Maybe we can get in next year's retrospective. All right then. Let me give you a new jingle.

[John C. Dvorak]

The War on Chicken. Some guy cranked that out right during the show.

[Adam Curry]

Hell yeah. Hell yeah. That's our audience, man. That's yellow jacket. That's yellow jacket, man. I'm telling you. How awesome is that chicken? Well, we've had the war on terror. We've had the war on women. I think the war on chicken is just about par.

[J.C.]

Just.

[Adam Curry]

Just about par for the course.

[John C. Dvorak]

Perfect. This is another song. Night me baby. This Christmas song, right?

[Adam Curry]

Night me baby out here for me 33 I've been an awful good slave. Not me baby, not me On a podcast tonight. Not me baby I think I'll take a barony too. It's true. Read my note. Won't you please nat me baby, not me On a podcast tonight. Support our show. You know I'm gonna. Because you see, I'm a regular donor. Next year I'll be just as good. Cuz I. I ain't no douchebag. Free loader. Not me, baby I really wanna be a grand duke. The truth. I've been donating all year. Not me baby, not me On a podcast tonight.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, everybody does it once in a while just because it's funny.

[Adam Curry]

It's almost like tucking your penis between your legs. We all do it once.

[John C. Dvorak]

I never done that.

[Adam Curry]

Never?

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it's too damn big in the morning. You walk into these.

[Darren O'Neill]

Whoa.

[Adam Curry]

But I walked in. There was a brick wall.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I walked into.

[Adam Curry]

My face hurts.

[J.C.]

Oh, man.

[John C. Dvorak]

So if anybody likes to Buy wine and really a very well priced wine. It's always a good deal except some. Maybe 30 bucks. But generally speaking, get them for like under 20 is a good Beaujolais. And what you want is a. If you can. You want to get a Cru Beaujolais. It's called Cru Beaujolais. You look up Cru Cru Cruise Beaujolais and then those are the. Of this. The town is like Fleury Brewery, Morgan. There's a bunch of them and they're all listed in the. In Google. You can type that in the Google and you'll get the. You'll get a wiki page that get. List them off. Those are better. You want Beaujolais Village is kind of the lowest quality you can get. But the point is 2015, many of the Beaujolais experts believe that 2015 Beaujolais are the best. Best since the 1940s. Okay. And I have had expensive ones. I've had cheap ones every 2015 BOJ that I've had from cheap to very expensive. Very expensive ones are outrageous. These are the most delicious wines for the price you'll ever get in your life. And that's your tip.

[Adam Curry]

Tip of the day. Tip of the.

[John C. Dvorak]

We always have a tip on this show. You always learn something.

[Adam Curry]

Always good. And I would like to remind everybody today is day number 666 of our 14 days to flatten the curve. Damn it, I screwed it up.

[John C. Dvorak]

You had it.

[Adam Curry]

But it is day 666.

[John C. Dvorak]

That figures.

[Adam Curry]

So this has got to be one of those big ones. And on this very important day, it's a devilish scam. We receive the following headline which just made my day. There is no evidence of pandemic mass formation psychosis. According to Reuters and the Associated Press.

[John C. Dvorak]

They would know the hell what is going.

[Adam Curry]

Why would they.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's actually, by the way, that for them to say that is a sign that it exists.

[Adam Curry]

It has to be. It has to be the full quote. Mass formation psychosis is not an academic who wrote this.

[John C. Dvorak]

There is no such thing as the Associated Press saying anything.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

Someone at the Associated Press.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Correct. Said it on behalf of the Associated Press.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Was it approved by the board of directors? What's the deal?

[Adam Curry]

Well, I believe so, seeing as well it's Reuters and the Associated Press and we know that there's some Pfizer folks over at Reuters. They've both independently reported that. But this was a. As you point out, it was a. They pulled it together. The full headline is Mass Formation Psychosis is Not an academic term recognized in the field of psychology. Nor is there evidence of any such phenomenon occurring during the COVID 19 pandemic. Multiple experts in crowd psychology have told Reuters and the Associated Press. So that's how they do it. And then the AP fact check. Mass formation psychosis. An unfounded theory spreading online suggests millions of people have been hypnotized into believing mainstream ideas to combat COVID 19. Psychology experts say the concept is not supported by evidence. See, that's a little different. So they're not discrediting the theory. They're saying there's no. This is. By the way, this is one of your favorite ways of doing it. There's no evidence of.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's no evidence. Like the mouse.

[Adam Curry]

Hey, I wasn't gonna say that.

[John C. Dvorak]

But this is what it refers to.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, but there's no evidence.

[John C. Dvorak]

And there was no evidence by the

[Adam Curry]

way of the mouse.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, it just came out. How's there gonna be in the evidence? It's a trick. I see this on the airplane, and it's very annoying. And I think it will result in fights breaking out because it's just so annoying to watch. Guy takes his bag of peanuts, and he throws a pile of them into his palm of his hand. And then he makes a fist around the nuts. And then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole.

[Adam Curry]

Stop.

[John C. Dvorak]

Stop. And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his fist. Then he does it again. He shakes and throws and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to watch.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, my gosh. It just needed porn music. Your description is fabulous. I got to produce that.

[John C. Dvorak]

There is that part of it. You can look at all these things as obscene, but that's exactly what you see. This guy shaking his fist and popping the pen. Tina.

[Adam Curry]

It's nasty. It's nasty.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's very nasty.

[J.C.]

I agree.

[Adam Curry]

It's nasty. And whenever Tina and I are flying, we look at each other. I'm like, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna fist him. I'm fisting. I'm fisting.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm fisting.

[Adam Curry]

I'm fisting.

[John C. Dvorak]

You know, the shantytown thing did come up in the conversation. I'm of the opinion that you're just gonna have to bite the bullet in these towns, these liberal towns, and let a shanty town crop up. It goes on in South America.

[Darren O'Neill]

I don't.

[Adam Curry]

I don't like your. Your idea.

[John C. Dvorak]

I know you don't. Nobody does. But it's the most realistic thing you can do is let's Be honest about it.

[Adam Curry]

But you have shanty towns in multiple cities in California and it hasn't produced anywhere.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's no real true shanty town.

[Adam Curry]

Every street corner.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, that's not a shanty town.

[Adam Curry]

Well, okay, I mean, how many? How many?

[John C. Dvorak]

That is just a bunch of people hanging around and you know, hanging out with tents. Yeah, no, no.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm not talking about camping, which is what they call it now. Homeless camping.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, you're not homeless, you're just camping.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh yeah, just people camping. Yeah, no, I'm talking about you get a couple of acres, you put some acres together in an area that's really. Some places you can get water to. Usually a water truck that would work. Bring it in once in a while and everyone have their own bucket markets and let the let people build little lean tos. Well, to have its own government. It's where it's like in Brazil, in the favelas, they have their own governments.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, but that's my point is the favelas are a huge issue.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

Also with shantytowns, but this is. I don't see any other solution. Yeah, but they can't seem to address the problem correctly. So you might as well just let it fall into third world style. Well, it works outside of Africa. There's all of those little towns in Africa. There's little shanty towns outside the cities. Mazda, they all South America. There's used to be Romani encampments all over Europe. And you know, it's similar to a shanty town when they, they move. I mean, you can't do anything about it because they're not doing anything about it. Well, it go to a fallback position.

[Adam Curry]

So what you're saying is designate an area where the shanty town can prosper.

[John C. Dvorak]

You make it sound like it's a joke.

[Adam Curry]

No, no, that's exactly what you're saying. A designated place. This is not your idea alone. People are saying, hey, make a designated camping ground.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, well, it should be a shanty town. A camping ground is no good. Those tents are no good. You want, you know, you want a shanty town. You want the kind of thing that people can go and do reports about, oh, look at these people. They live in like horrible. And then they show that. Then there's this open sewer. You want an open. Yeah, okay. You have to design these things. Scott Adams has got something like this, but he's more, you know, it's not going to be like my thinking, you want an open sewer so you can be a ghast at the open sewer and the turd going down the sewer. You know, it's just open. You want kids that are half naked wandering around. You're all dirty, you know, Barefoot, barefoot, barefoot.

[Adam Curry]

Wait, wait. Playing with, playing with a rusty can.

[John C. Dvorak]

Lots of dogs barking at everything.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

We had a. We had a quasi shanty town here in the East Bay over on the.

[Mimi Dvorak]

The.

[John C. Dvorak]

The bulb was called an old ex garbage dump that's over by Golden Gate Fields in Albany. There was a. There's this big area that was. Was in the very far reaches of this. It's like an. Like a peninsula that is built of garbage dumps from. From the 20s and 30s. So it's, it's green now. They got trees and everything's growing on it. But there was a huge shanty town out there was a. A genuine one. You couldn't even go out to it because there's too many pit bulls, you know, guarding the place. But it was a shanty town and they let it go for years and years and they finally went in there in the middle of the night and tore it down.

[Adam Curry]

We'll go back to what else we need in the shanty town. I was kind of enjoying it.

[John C. Dvorak]

We.

[Adam Curry]

We were at Barefoot children playing with

[John C. Dvorak]

the barefoot open sewers. A lot of lean tos and now there was people. Lean to is. Yes, yes. Very good left over gal. You know there's the kind of stuff that you make for kind of a galvanized corrugated steel.

[J.C.]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Very good chunks of that. And corrugated fiberglass that's just got this low curvy thing and then it's pounded

[Adam Curry]

in and you always need to have a boat trailer with half a boat on it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, there's definitely a bunch of boat trailers. Half of it. People living in the boats. Open fires, burn barrels everywhere. Especially in the winter. I'm the dentist that took the heat for suggesting oral cancers on the right. Horrible. And from HPV virus and oral sex. This is a letter we didn't read.

[Adam Curry]

I don't remember this.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm done stewing. I would like to congratulate both of you for the thousand shows. Okay. That would be good to even now after I read this. So I've been learned a lot and laughed a lot. Thanks. I read John's one page editorials at PC magazine going back to my days in college. I saw the TV show and the Tech Grouch. All great stuff. Oh, Tech Groucho. You and two other people watched the Tech Grouch. When I heard he was on a podcast and Jerry Pernell was there too. I had to listen to Leo. Guy made good one kind of complaining here about Leo. When then I found out about no Agenda. When MTV started, I was studying physics. I would put it on the back as background music and thought who would ever want to watch music videos? Then one day I saw the video by Robert Palmer. Simply irresistible. So there was this guy as a sidekick with JD Adam Curry. Never heard of him, but listening to him was interesting. I miss his treaties on aliens on Earth and moon bases. Those shape shifting Jews are space goers too. Being Jewish myself, I can attest to it.

[Adam Curry]

There it is, the shapeshifter. Welcome in.

[John C. Dvorak]

As the episodes went by Atlas set the hook and John had that John had baited. As I'm now an instant in a mini Baron, it sounds a little better. I'd like some jobs Karma. Obamacare has been great for America, but as a small business owner, it's gutted the profit from my business.

[Adam Curry]

Oh yeah, it's horrible.

[John C. Dvorak]

Keep saying Yep. Okay, so the only one. I couldn't get this story. So I only have the teaser for it. But I can explain the story. For some reason I just, I just couldn't get the story. But here's the teasers. UK heli. Heli payments coming up next here on Sky News.

[Darren O'Neill]

Giving away money to heal this sick economy. How so called helicopter payments. Could be the cure for a global slowdown.

[Adam Curry]

Helicopter pay. What?

[John C. Dvorak]

So this is in Ireland. And so these, these literal helicopters, the big boys. No. Yes. And they're throwing bags. Bags of money out of the ch.

[Adam Curry]

No, no, no. This is.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

I don't understand. They can't just. They can't just land. What's going on?

[John C. Dvorak]

He's throwing it. Here I am.

[Adam Curry]

Ladies and gentlemen, my stealth helic

[Mimi Dvorak]

that.

[Adam Curry]

I got to hear that clip again. You need to get the whole story.

[Darren O'Neill]

Coming up next here on Sky News. Giving away money to heal a sick economy. How so called helicopter payments could be the cure for a global slowdown.

[Adam Curry]

Now you're full of crap, Dvorak.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, I'm telling you, they're throwing bags of money out of the choppers and it's almost reminds me of like some old movie where the king is throwing pennies at the peasants and they're following them on.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, look, look.

[John C. Dvorak]

And they're all great. These little boys and girls that are waifs and they're all grabbing the coins and the money off the ground. Oh, let's go.

[Adam Curry]

But they haven't, they haven't actually done this yet.

[John C. Dvorak]

Have.

[Adam Curry]

This is not occurred.

[John C. Dvorak]

They showed a video of the chopper throwing money. Bags of money flying out of the chopper.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, this is crazy.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I'm.

[Adam Curry]

I'm trying to find this now. I want to find some pictures of it. Okay, well, the memes are there. There's helicopters with a big piggy bank underneath. I mean, someone's. Someone's already working on it. Okay, perfect. Perfect. Heli payments. Who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing? I don't put anything past these people. But Kress, our producer from Denmark, says by 16 November in Denmark, all mink are to be put down due to a mutation. The Danish cdc, Staten Serums Institute, they say they have found at least five mutations of the COVID 19 virus. They call it cluster five. And they say it jumps from mink to people telling you, John, there's some secret here. There's something. There is something going on with this mink. So they're stepping up the test by threefold for everybody. And they have to call all of the mink in all of denmark by the 16th. But here's what's interesting. He's heard people saying that, hey, firstly, they come for the ferret parrots, but they may be coming for our pets next. And I like this. I like this. Yes, I like it a lot. They're coming for your dogs. They're gonna call your dogs.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, this makes my. My wife's investment in mink coats worth it. Well, you know what Mimi's been doing for probably 15 years? I think she's got maybe five or five or six of these coats,

[J.C.]

and

[John C. Dvorak]

then she does research on them after she gets them because of the west coast, and it's.

[J.C.]

Oh, fur thing.

[John C. Dvorak]

You can get a mink coat on Craigslist that happened to be owned by some grandma. She bought it in the 30s or 40s from some furry or in New York City, and you can get it for like a hundred bucks. Want to own one? And so she has been buying a bunch of these. When she sees them, she doesn't buy every one, but she's bought a number of them and for like a hundred bucks. And we do a little research afterwards. And the original price of the coat was like eight grand in 1930.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yeah. Now these. In 1930, it was eight grand. Holy crap. That was. Might as well been 8,80,000, if not more so.

[John C. Dvorak]

So now these coats will be more valuable unless they can maintain this hatred of dead animal fur. But people out there on the lookout, you should go check this out. In certain parts of the country, you're going to be able to get these very expensive coats, fur coats for next to nothing on Craigslist. Your tip of the day. This is nutball 002 nuts on population control.

[Adam Curry]

Extreme biohazard data from the deeper, denser dimensions.

[John C. Dvorak]

And so it is an extreme biohazard to make justifications for parasitism.

[Adam Curry]

That's true. It isn't.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay, friends. We have enough humans on the planet.

[Adam Curry]

We don't need any more humans.

[Mimi Dvorak]

It is not okay for women to have babies and stop contributing to the

[Adam Curry]

process under the pretense that they're doing

[Mimi Dvorak]

a good thing by staying home and raising children.

[John C. Dvorak]

We don't need children.

[Adam Curry]

If you find yourself pregnant, there are

[Mimi Dvorak]

options and you can have an abortion.

[Adam Curry]

No babies. Cut off the baby factories.

[John C. Dvorak]

We have 7.5 billion with a B humans on the planet.

[Adam Curry]

That's too much.

[Mimi Dvorak]

The actual ideal amount seems to be under 1 billion.

[Adam Curry]

Under 1 billion.

[Mimi Dvorak]

We have 7.5 billion. No babies. Women who have babies and stay home

[Adam Curry]

to raise them should not be viewed as doing a good thing. That's not a good thing. It's completely not what the situation calls for at all.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I'm sorry. Find another way to contribute and be valued. That's not a good way.

[Adam Curry]

I'm sorry. Do they have a gofundme or a Patreon that I can contribute?

[John C. Dvorak]

They make a lot of money. They do.

[Adam Curry]

How do they make money?

[John C. Dvorak]

So if you, if you check her out, she does a lot of healing things and she's in Washington D.C. making a fortune.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

Now the lifting of the two of them have their arms in the air. But the younger one, who's obviously the moment mom hates, she had a baby, obviously this girl. And the girl can't even say anything except, that's true. That's true, that's true. In fact, I even isolated. I got an ISO of it. That's true, that's true.

[Adam Curry]

That's all she does. She's like diamond and silk. That's all she does.

[Darren O'Neill]

That's true.

[John C. Dvorak]

She says, that's true, that's true. Now, she does say stuff once in a while. And when she says something, I'd say 90% of the time the old lady shuts her down and says no and tells her no. And this was, this was during a moment where she explained the arm in the air thing. What she's doing is she's pulling the strands of imaginary strands of anger and fatigue and every bad thing that you have, you're pulling it out of your body and you're holding into the air and throwing it away. And so she's doing that constantly. And the old lady does it once in a while, too. And when the daughter explained this, this, the old lady, she. The daughter says, I invite. You can all do this yourself. You can pull the fatigue and frustrations and the things about life out of your body and throw them in the air. And the old lady says, no, you can't. It's too late for them. I don't know if you saw the newsletter after it was finalized. And it was. I got it from no Agenda Social. This picture of this, of the woman that the whistle. The quote, unquote whistleblower, who we spotted as a spook. And it's a tweet from her. And she's joined Twitter on October 6,

[Adam Curry]

and within a day, she's got a blue check mark.

[John C. Dvorak]

She got a blue check mark within a day, and she's got already 50,000 followers within a day. And you go, now it's like 70 or something. And I just keep looking at that, shaking my head, reminding me what that we did have a clip of one of the women. It was, I think, one of the disguise experts, somebody who worked at the agency for a long time. And she said, well, we have a real problem with social media because we don't know if it's a tell that, like, our people don't have an account they've never had an account on, and they don't. They're not on LinkedIn, they're not on Twitter, they're not on Facebook. And she's. She's worried as a tell that it might indicate that they're, you know, intelligence people. You know, a lot of them don't even have the same name in real life, and they use pseudonyms just consistently.

[Adam Curry]

Wasn't that. Wasn't that. That was Kara Swisher. One of the things that the organization does, they encourage folks not to have

[Mimi Dvorak]

much of a virtual presence. And what that resulted in is a lot of our folks who had been here for a while had no idea how much digital dust was being created, how much of a signature it was not to have a digital Persona.

[J.C.]

Like, if you're not using Facebook or

[Adam Curry]

Instagram and things like that, particularly in my business.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Right. It's like, you know, we had these long conversations about, is that actually a tell? If you have no digital footprint, who are you? Right.

[Adam Curry]

That's the directorate of digital Innovation.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yours is more like the Q branch.

[Adam Curry]

And she kind of sounds a little bit milio. Ishly like the think.

[J.C.]

Right.

[John C. Dvorak]

You think right. When I was at the air pollution district. We had the opportunity. I always, always take seminars. I'm a big fan of these things. I took a one day seminar on memo writing.

[Adam Curry]

It was called CYA101.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it was, but. No, but you could get your CYA information out of this memo writing class. It was a whole day of how to write a memo which seems astute. Stupid day off. But no, to this day I can write some of the greatest memos you've ever read. Outside of a government writer who's also been trained in writing memos, this woman did not know how to write this memo properly that she sent out. Her email should have been written in the form of a memo and should have had all the disclaimers at the beginning of it about how great the vaccination is and how we're not trying to do anything. She could have had the whole thing put together in a package in such a way that she would have never gotten any kickback whatsoever. In fact she would have.

[Adam Curry]

But would she have achieved anything?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes. She would have been able to continue with it with this idea of filling the VARS database. And what would have happened that would be even better if it was done correctly. It would have been. It would have gone out like a virus and hit all the other hospitals. So none of the hospitals would have shown any indication of being reporting more or less than the average.

[Adam Curry]

Right, right.

[John C. Dvorak]

It could have worked out. But she. Because she was panicking.

[Adam Curry]

No, no, it's because she, she wasn't thinking about the organization. She's only think. She didn't think about it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wasn't thinking.

[J.C.]

Right.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Well, no, he's not thinking right. It's a very endearing.

[John C. Dvorak]

You can slowly get the job done. You can still get the job done within these large organizations correctly and not get the blowback that she got and end up in it with a titan ringer.

[Adam Curry]

Is there, Are there some other tips that. Or there's some tips you can give the producers when it comes to important.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, one of the main things about memo writing, you always open the memo for one thing. They have to be formed, formally formatted. They have to be formatted as a memo and you have to know how to.

[Adam Curry]

Is that a template in word there?

[John C. Dvorak]

I never saw one. But there should, there might be.

[Adam Curry]

There should be. Okay. I'm just saying this is exit strategy time. There should be. There should be no agenda memo template.

[John C. Dvorak]

I just this. My only tip is going to be the following. The opening of all memos have to have to be extremely Complimentary and a kind of a rundown of how great everything is.

[Adam Curry]

Oh really?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. You open it up with how fabulous everything is and it's usually a short three sentence paragraph, maybe two. And then from there you go on to your grousing.

[Adam Curry]

The only memos I ever wrote started like this to memorialize our conversation.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's.

[Adam Curry]

That's the boss. CYA note to memorialize our conversation where I told you you would no longer be reporting into the various database.

[John C. Dvorak]

Actually, technically a CYA Note note is. Is a. Which I've done. In fact, I got. I saved my job once from doing one and it was on. On accident.

[Adam Curry]

Okay. Do tell.

[John C. Dvorak]

A cy. A note is to point out, constantly be pointing out stuff in writing issues that you have with something doesn't work or something that you didn't get any feedback from someone. Just. Just little bitty things and you. And. And you, you put a string of those out asking for help. And what happened to me once was that I was not some product that was inspecting it when I was an inspector at Trailmobile wasn't was going out improperly and it was because it couldn't be fixed. It was unfixable. This, this. The design of this. Of this product made for Pacific Far east or some company was a. It was a cargo container that was made out of fiberglass and just wasn't going to work work. And I wrote immediately sent some notes in about it and I never got any feedback. It went on for months into the final. Inspectors started catching these things and I got called to the carpet for this. These. You had.

[Adam Curry]

You had your memos?

[John C. Dvorak]

I had. I said, well, I sent. Look at this. Yeah, I had my memos. And then boom, I was back on the job. It was an instant. Somebody else got fired.

[Adam Curry]

Of course someone bit the bullet for that one.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh my.

[Adam Curry]

Anyway, so the medical system is clearly commercialized to a degree where the Hippocratic oath is just a part of the responsibility. It's not the overarching thing. It's just a part of it or

[John C. Dvorak]

what's left of the responsibilities always supersedes.

[Adam Curry]

Say it again. What he wanted, sir.

[John C. Dvorak]

Chris Vox.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

At the roundtable.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, chips and diplomats.

[Adam Curry]

Dip. Chips and dip. Done, sir.

[John C. Dvorak]

I thought that was at the roundtable. To be honest about it.

[Adam Curry]

It always is. But he may want some onion dip. I'll get some onion dip.

[John C. Dvorak]

He didn't say onion dip.

[Adam Curry]

He's getting onion dip.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, he didn't say I'm going to give people a good.

[Adam Curry]

He's getting onion dip. If he doesn't specify as getting what we got in the castle, you get.

[John C. Dvorak]

Here's what you do. I'm just a generalized tip.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, it's.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's a couple of these seasonings, one made by Badia, and the other one made by this other Mexican company. But Badia body of saison total. It's a big, giant seasoning, and it's great for everything. You get it in Mexican stores, and you just buy any sour cream, and you take about 2 tablespoons of this body of Saison total and you mix it into the sour cream. Best dip ever.

[Adam Curry]

Another snack tip from your no agenda

[John C. Dvorak]

show that it was your snack tip of the day. It was the guy, okay? The joke goes something like this. A guy is having the. He's got hemorrhoids, and he's at the doctors, and he's having the glass rod treatment for the hemorrhoids. And it's costing him $200 a treatment. He's got to do it a couple times a week. And he's getting. And it's adding up. He's getting kind of sick of it. And he says, doc, is there any way that I can. This is costing me too much money. Can. Can. Any way I can do this at home? Or is there some. Something else that we can be done here? And he says, yeah, well, okay. The doctor reluctantly says, yeah, but the glass rod's kind of expensive. It's a thousand bucks. Believe me, that'll save me money. So he sells him the glass rod and takes it home to his wife and gonna have her do the treatment. And he says, honey, I admitted you're gonna have to do the glass rod treatment for my hemorrhoids. And he says, okay, what do you want? He says, okay, well, the first thing you do is you get the glass rod out. And he says, you put your right hand on my right shoulder and your left hand on my left shoulder. Shoulder and. Why, that son of a. I'm gonna

[Adam Curry]

show my support by donating to no agenda.

[John C. Dvorak]

Imagine all the people who could do that.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

[John C. Dvorak]

Of course. Did you hear the.

[Adam Curry]

Wow, you sound really bassy today. What are you doing?

[John C. Dvorak]

I sound basie now.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, you sound.

[John C. Dvorak]

I have no controls over the. I have no control over the base, the base, the base, the base, base, base. I have no control over the bass, the bass, the bass, the bass, bass, bass, the bass, the bass, the bass, the bass, bass, bass. I have no control over the bass, the bass, the bass, the bass, bass, bass, or the horizontal or the vertical?

[Adam Curry]

Well, I don't know. You have this, you have your regular mic?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Nothing's changed.

[Adam Curry]

Maybe it's just maybe like a fine wine. You're, you're getting basic Basier with age.

[John C. Dvorak]

So one of the guys in the papers in the 2000 word, 2000 word, 2000 page document, 2000 plus pages is Marvin Minsky, big shot at the media lab. Major, major guy. I remember running into him. In fact, he personally threw me out of a meeting.

[Adam Curry]

Do tell, we need to hear this. Tell us first who Marvin Minsky is. And then Marv, kicked out of the meeting.

[John C. Dvorak]

One of the famous artificial intelligence guys from the 80s, the first go round and maybe even the one before every 30 years or so. This artificial AI, didn't he. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Didn't he kind of write the book on artificial intelligence?

[John C. Dvorak]

Wrote a book?

[Adam Curry]

At least he published it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, you got me on that. So I got invited as a lark by Will Hurst to go into the media lab with the executives of the Hearst Corporation who are getting a tour where you didn't have to sign a non disclosure. And I was like, Hurst and I were just wondering. We're in the kind of. Just wandering. We're just in the group. There's about one, two, three, maybe six, eight, nine people, including the CEO and Randy Hearst and all these other people. We're going through this thing and we're getting to see the dog and pony show that they put on, which is where I found out a number of interesting things I used later in certain columns because I could, I didn't have to worry about non disclose being non disclosed on any of it. And so we're going from meeting to meeting where these guys are just full of crap and they're showing us everything in the place. Got great tour. And I had a few ribald comments to make. And so we go into this final meeting and there's Minsky in there with the guy that's ahead at the time, whose name is eluding me, involved with Wired magazine. And Minsky sees me, he knows who I am and he says, what's this guy doing here?

[Adam Curry]

What's Dvorak doing here? Pretty much this guy.

[John C. Dvorak]

And everybody's looking left and right and I'm sitting there with a stupid smile on my face, face. And they asked me to leave. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So Will, actually, Will left with me. The two of us left.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, that's cool.

[John C. Dvorak]

It was showing some solidarity from what I could tell.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

And so we left. It was at the end anyway. So who cares and we went out and did something in Boston somewhere and

[Adam Curry]

then as you left like that's the mouse guy.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hey guys, thank you again for the best podcast in the universe. I have a couple of edibles the other day and ended ended up listening. Ended up listening. A recent episode of Brett Weinstein's podcast Necessary he had to be stoned. He was discussing atrazine and frogs which we talked about 10 years ago.

[Adam Curry]

Well Alex Jones told us that it's turning the frogs gay.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well he said it was turning the frogs gay but I'm the one who had the clips from the professor at Cal that was discussed that was discussing atrazine in the war water and mentioned a possibility. I think I figure and people should we should look those clips again.

[J.C.]

I have them.

[Adam Curry]

I have them.

[John C. Dvorak]

I think I figured that the real reason they want us feasting on insects. This hypothesis of how carnivorous frogs could be exposed to the herbicide to the herbicide atrazine. It was most likely due to their diet bugs. The bugs eat the poison plants. We eat the bugs and the little boy's dick start to falling off.

[Adam Curry]

Yay.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yay. Game, set, match. The lizard people win. He's still on edibles, it seems to me. Hey man, for jingles can I get an I like bugs, bouchy wheeze and trump space force. Thanks.

[Adam Curry]

So Darren o' Neill brought us this. Fantastic. I liked it a lot. You had an issue with it for a specific reason. It was a four pack of Duracell C batteries. I think it would be C. Didn't look like C or Ds and it had the copper top look. It had no agenda on it. Instead of Duracell of course. Guaranteed 33 years in storage. It was a. You know, like one of those plastic packs and it almost didn't pass because you hate the actual product.

[John C. Dvorak]

I do and I tell you why I've. I've after I found this online guy who's a battery nut who turned me on to all Macs and Fuji batteries which is the ones I order now. Although all Macs are harder to find. But Fujis are always been around because every time I put buy those Duracells from Costco, go. I'd put them in some device or other. I come back a month later and they're in there. They're exploded. I have to clean out the goo that's in there. It's a mess. Those batteries are garbage. I do not like them. And I have photos. I've taken photos. I posted them every once in a While Duracell batteries don't hold up and they. And then they did. They burst. They go to something. They burst inside product and you have to clean out the mess and hopefully you can still get a good connection. I've never had an All Max battery do that ever for years.

[Adam Curry]

All Max A L, M A C S. All Max.

[John C. Dvorak]

No A L, L, M A X. All Max.

[Adam Curry]

All Max. Never heard of the product. Do you have a couple points of that?

[John C. Dvorak]

I wish.

[Adam Curry]

All Max. Okay. All Max from now on is the battery.

[John C. Dvorak]

Fuji's also makes a terrific product. I had to go with Fuji recently because Costco because Amazon stopped carrying the oh Ma next huge pack you could buy for like a few dollars.

[Adam Curry]

Oh no.

[John C. Dvorak]

Now I. I've got this clip. This is another one. This.

[Mimi Dvorak]

He.

[John C. Dvorak]

So he's so hard up Beto is that he's gone. He went to go on Sharpton.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Now I have the. Now I'm going to kind of jump to the punchline so I can get this out of the way and then I'm going to play the whole Beto clip because I'm not playing because I don't. I want this to be. I've created the ISO that everybody's all giddy about where Sharpton makes a. Another gaffe that goes on our list and it goes into the files and I'm going to play. I'm going to do this backwards. I'm going to do a back ass word. I'm going to play the gaff first so we get that out of the way and then we can play the sharp. The Sharpton and Beto actually talking. But this is Gol and Hitler. Sharpton ISO.

[Adam Curry]

Perhaps he was influenced by Google and the Third.

[John C. Dvorak]

Right. He says there was. He was influenced by that. Trump was influenced by Gurgle. Gurgle, Gurgle, Gurgle and the Third Reich.

[Adam Curry]

Reich. Yes, the Third Reich. Let's just listen to it again. Just for. Just because it's so beautiful. Perhaps he was influenced by Gurgle and the Third Reich. I mean that is the end of show. I mean no doubt end of show. I suggest Gurgle.

[John C. Dvorak]

So he has this guy and meanwhile of course Beto hasn't got the nerve to say I think you mean well, careful, careful.

[Adam Curry]

I want to make a statement right now.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

And this is an. I think we may have talked about it previously in a general American sense. There is no R in Goebbels. Ok. It's G O E B B E L S and there's an umlaut in there somewhere.

[John C. Dvorak]

There is an R in Gurgle, though.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, but even Beto says Goebbels.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's not Americans tend to say Goebbels.

[Adam Curry]

It's stupid.

[John C. Dvorak]

Gebbels or Gurgle.

[Adam Curry]

You might as well say Gurgle. I mean, it's just as dumb as Gerbils.

[John C. Dvorak]

Or like Washington. But he should have. He could have at least corrected him in some way. He just let it slide because he hasn't got the. Nobody has the guts to say anything to Sharpton.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yeah. Sharpton's an agent of change, man.

[John C. Dvorak]

Release the orb. Say it's not so. If you know, you know. He's resorted to being an Uber driver. Look at all these boxes.

[Adam Curry]

We love you live. This isn't outraged.

[John C. Dvorak]

They're out of control.

[Adam Curry]

Air traffic control. Shut it down. Hottest day ever on Earth of all time. Okay, Frenchie.

[John C. Dvorak]

Game, set, match. The lizard people win.

[Adam Curry]

The carbon dioxide is. You take your pants off in public. I'm an egg white.

[John C. Dvorak]

Last on the list is Sir Puck. He's in North Carolina. Flat Rock. Imagine somebody. What are we going to name this town, Bill? I don't know. What do you say? What's the first thing you see? Let's call it that. You know, that's what the Indians do when they name the kids. Oh, there's a Flat Rock. I recently got 100% off social media. Except LinkedIn, which is a piece.

[Adam Curry]

Which is worse. It's like, that's the horrible social media thing. LinkedIn.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Geez.

[Adam Curry]

Jeez.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, unless you're trying to get a job. But it doesn't work for that either.

[Adam Curry]

What happens? What neither you or I know, but the keeper does. There are a lot of dudes who stalk professional women on LinkedIn. It's quite annoying.

[John C. Dvorak]

I believe that. I have a story to tell.

[Adam Curry]

Do tell.

[John C. Dvorak]

I have a fake woman. Beautiful. Beautiful. That is.

[Adam Curry]

Every good story should start with, I have a fake woman. That's always a fake woman.

[John C. Dvorak]

The fake woman. Beautiful fake woman. That's on link. LinkedIn. And I posted her up as a. You know, with a good background. The whole thing is just as a honey trap to see what kind of douchebags would come on to her.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, this is you. You are the fake woman.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, sweetness.

[John C. Dvorak]

And I'm telling you now, Now I

[Adam Curry]

know what you did after you left Second Life. Now I know where all that energy.

[John C. Dvorak]

Life. So. So it's pretty embarrassing. I can see what she's talking about. And it's people I know. I've kept it to Myself, Really?

[Adam Curry]

People, you know, who have been hit.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, because I managed to link up with her in such a way that she got into my network and next thing you know, she's got it, got her own little network that's pretty big of it, has a lot of mic people in it and they're hitting on her.

[Adam Curry]

Now. You know what you're supposed to do?

[John C. Dvorak]

What?

[Adam Curry]

Well, you're supposed to chat these guys up and then say, you know, let's do a. Let's do a Skype, you know, and then you don't turn your camera on to, you know, show me what you look like. And then you gotta, you gotta be

[John C. Dvorak]

ready with the screen about it. I'm only so sick. Oh, but, but to get these guys to pull a tube in is what you're trying to tell me?

[Darren O'Neill]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You are correct. That's right. And you should be there with your PBR hat on, smiling at them.

[John C. Dvorak]

The PBR has what I need. Dude, what are you doing?

[Adam Curry]

Oh, no. JJCD, you are the father Dave never had. So can you please, in your most fatherly tone, say, I'm proud of you, kid.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm proud of you, kid.

[Adam Curry]

It will give. It will give. I. I felt that.

[John C. Dvorak]

Even now we get to Eli, Eli the coffee guy in Bensonville, Illinois, IL 20602, and he says, john, I love the good news segment, but if you ever get rid of it, replace it with a tip of the day.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Do you know what we've done?

[Adam Curry]

Are you doing a tip of the day today?

[John C. Dvorak]

I do have a tip of the day.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, excellent.

[John C. Dvorak]

Thanks to a great tip I heard on the show a few years ago. We recently tried a saw turn paired with foie grasp. That's the combo.

[Adam Curry]

That's the one. That's the one. It always works.

[John C. Dvorak]

So never a combo I'd normally have gone for, but we loved it. In fact, saw turns, especially if you have a good one. That's. That's just a beauty.

[Adam Curry]

It's how I got my detritus. It's how I got my final and best wife.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, that's another tip.

[Adam Curry]

Uh huh.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'll just say it. Saw turn will get you laid.

[Adam Curry]

There you go. And ladies and gentlemen, I can be. I'm very proud as a white man from the western part of the world, to let you know that we here are testing this first vaccine on humans in Africa. Risk factor zero, baby. Go for it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Mm.

[Adam Curry]

Does anyone see how sick this is?

[John C. Dvorak]

I do. Thank you.

[Adam Curry]

Thank you. That's right. South Africa. Beautiful. 106.

[J.C.]

Let me see.

[Adam Curry]

How many are they going to do? They're going to do a shitload of them.

[J.C.]

All right.

[John C. Dvorak]

How many are they going to kill? Do they have a number yet?

[Adam Curry]

How many we're going to hear about? And I know there's a lot of Africans looking really scared. Oh, here comes Dr. Bill with his syringe again. We know what happened last time when he was heavy here with. With his other friend Bill.

[John C. Dvorak]

Biden's on top of it. I do have a clip of Biden ruminating on the vaccine.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, he's on top of it. I can't wait to hear it. When, God willing, we get this vaccine, Vaccine, how will it be destroyed?

[John C. Dvorak]

Vaseline.

[Adam Curry]

Stop. Now stop. Stop this show. Let's see. How would you spell that? Vaccine. Okay. Vaccine dot com. Register dirt.

[John C. Dvorak]

Got it. Nailed it.

[Adam Curry]

Nailed it. For once. I'm gonna hide my contact information for an additional $3. Okay, back to the vaccine. When, God willing, we get this vaccine, Vaccine, how will it be distributed? Where will it go? How will it get there?

[Darren O'Neill]

How? We guarantee that it will be able

[Adam Curry]

to be distributed in a way that all Americans, all Americans have equal access to it. Because the same thing's going to happen. Let's God willing, we get a vaccine. Maybe one.

[John C. Dvorak]

If God was great, maybe even in the fall.

[Adam Curry]

Wait a minute. What did he say first? Was he praying to God not to have a vaccine?

[John C. Dvorak]

At one point he says, the only thing that can save us is getting a vaccine from a vaccine. I don't know what he was saying. He's a maniac.

[Adam Curry]

Right? You should just nail this. This is so good. If God was great, he'd make vaccine to save us from the evil vaccine. Ladies and gentlemen, the next President of the United States of America. Does anyone else see that? We are a big joke. Gun smoke.

[John C. Dvorak]

Gun smokes on. On a couple of channels.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, of course.

[John C. Dvorak]

Heroes and icons, I think. Is that Chinese channel?

[Adam Curry]

How about Little House on the Prairie?

[John C. Dvorak]

Little House on the Prairie's on.

[Adam Curry]

I have not seen it. What's that on? Where can I find. I love Little House.

[John C. Dvorak]

I can't remember which. Which is one of the networks. Is one of these screwy networks.

[Adam Curry]

I love Little House on the Prairie. I read those books.

[John C. Dvorak]

I thought that show was the worst. I hated Little House on the Prairie. And the fact that it's on now makes you mad. Hate it. It makes me mad. It's so stupid.

[Adam Curry]

No, it was beautiful. If you. Have you ever read the book? Books?

[John C. Dvorak]

No, of Course not.

[Adam Curry]

These are good books that Laura Ingalls wrote. This was a really a one off that we could only use for that episode done by CZ137. It was just the best. It was a shadowy figure on its knees, bent over with a American Standard slide whistle jammed through him from the back with blood dripping off the mouthpiece.

[John C. Dvorak]

And I should mention that we. We spent a little time in the post mortem for the show with our slide whistles figuring out which is the best way to grip it if you did want to run somebody through with it.

[Adam Curry]

You remembered.

[John C. Dvorak]

All right, now we're stabbing. You have a really solid grip and you could swing into somebody and probably impale with a slight whistle. So you're lucky yours wasn't confiscated.

[Adam Curry]

Hope you like stabbing too. Ain't no rules, there ain't no vow.

[John C. Dvorak]

We can even stab a cow. You and I will knife them through. Cause every day we pay the price

[Adam Curry]

with a little sacrifice. Stab until the knife pokes through.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

I mean the TSA totally should have seen this as a deadly weapon since our combo. To think the stabbing was a thing of the past. Gone on to try to different grips. And I think the best way is you grip it with the mouthpiece. I hope this knife is going down. Put your index finger. No bullet can stop us now. Today's dreams we can plow. The time is now for us to be bold. Through the loop. 42 virgins do away on the slide. You don't want to be late. And then martyrdoms with more than gold. Now it's just. You can just hack. Stabbing, stabbing, lethal. You got a good grabbing. In the name of Allah so it won't slide. So your hand won't slide down as you're pushing it through bone and flesh. It's the burnout factor. I'm always sad when people are doing a lot. Like Sir Chris in Australia, you know, Love the guy, he's doing so much good work. But you know, I keep telling dude, slow down. You don't need to do a show. A song for every single show. You're gonna burn out.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, you.

[Adam Curry]

He won't listen.

[John C. Dvorak]

Actually did some lyrics for him. He. He won't do those either.

[Adam Curry]

Well, you did lyrics for him?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, I got a song. I got a whole. Anybody who wants to do a song, I got lyrics for two songs.

[Adam Curry]

Well, cuz he sent another one today, so it might be your song. I don't know.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it's not okay. I. I got the feeling that he got my lyrics and they believe Me the lyrics work. And he said you know I'd rather write my own lyrics. I want to write somebody. I'm not here. I'm not a gear sleep leave.

[Adam Curry]

I'm an artist, damn it.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm an artist. I do my own material.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, understood. Gotcha. I love doing this show.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's crappy. It's a crappy. It's a real, it's a creme, it's a crummy oil we should mention.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, you have to, don't you have to mix that oil there?

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it's not that bad. It's pretty bad though. It's, it's a, it's a sour, heavy sour oil. A typical Brent type oil that comes from under the water as opposed to land based oils like West Texas which is some of the finest oil.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, yes. Black gold Texas tea.

[John C. Dvorak]

I was looking into this by the way and the best oil in the world in terms of like pure like you pump it out. It's basically diesel fuel. You can put it in a truck. Where's that Algerian Saharan crude. It's got almost no sulfur. Almost no sulfur. And the API which is the measure of the, of the viscosity basically the AP and the higher the number the better, is the highest. And it sounds like it's very similar to me. It reminds me when I was an air pollution inspector or in refineries are my thing we had a little refinery that was shuttered some years ago called the Pacific Refinery that got some sort of Bolivian crude oil that was similar and it, they didn't even need a desulfurization facility at the, at the refinery. Which is unbelievable little tidbit there for you oil and gas guy out there.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yes, yes.

[Adam Curry]

This is dynamite. Insulin insight.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's not insight, it's a fact.

[Adam Curry]

And the problem is that everybody is watching. Two people, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and because of them Republicans in red states in the south have the lowest vaccination rates and they are dying. And they are going to die. You are all going to die. This is is Dick Durbin, Senator Dick Durbin talking about this very issue in the Senate. There are two hosts of programs on Fox prime time that can only be characterized as anti vax quacks. I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and I appreciate him using the official no agenda pronunciation of Laura Ingraham.

[John C. Dvorak]

That does give a couple one thing.

[Adam Curry]

A quack.

[John C. Dvorak]

A quack technically refers to a doctor. It's always a doctor. You're not a quack. You could be a crackpot or a nut ball or a number of things, but you're not a quack. Quack is a doctor. That is a bad doctor.

[Adam Curry]

Well, the reason that that is used is as we've discussed a couple months ago, back when the allopaths came in and medicine was taken over by the Rockefellers and they were trying to cure cancer. After that they were looking to cure cancer. There were cancer cures, certainly the one that is still operating in Mexico and those were branded by big pharma, I'll just put it that way, as quacks. So they're just rolling out the same script. When you're against big pharma, not against medicine or against certain policy, then you're a quack.

[Mimi Dvorak]

You see.

[Adam Curry]

So it's the pharma industry who wrote this for him. That's the way I deconstruct it.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's an interpretation. I just think it just pointing it out that Durbin's full of shit. But, but it's interesting that they would do this. This is the Congress of the United States bitching about a talk show host. That is really low end.

[Adam Curry]

Wait for it.

[Darren O'Neill]

I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham.

[Adam Curry]

They have been spreading what I consider to be irresponsible information about vaccines across

[Darren O'Neill]

America and about the effort of this nation to, to deal with them.

[Adam Curry]

Here's the reality. We have millions who've died across the

[Darren O'Neill]

world by this vaccine. We may never have an accurate count.

[Adam Curry]

There's just nothing like it. This is the best one I've ever gotten. Did you hear it?

[J.C.]

No.

[John C. Dvorak]

Say it again. Oh, the switcheroo. There's a switcheroo.

[Adam Curry]

Here's the reality. We have millions who've died across the

[Darren O'Neill]

world by this vaccine.

[Adam Curry]

We may never have an accident accurate count.

[John C. Dvorak]

That is the, that's top, the top of the list.

[Adam Curry]

That is. That is number uno. You can't get any better. Truth wants to come out. This is no longer a coincidence that this happens. He's reading a piece of paper.

[Darren O'Neill]

We have hundreds of thousands who have

[Adam Curry]

died in the United States and now it is said repeatedly that those who are headed to the hospital with the most serious strains of COVID 1999.5% of

[J.C.]

them were not vaccinated.

[Adam Curry]

So the facts are obvious here.

[John C. Dvorak]

We don't know this. Where's that number come from?

[Adam Curry]

No, that's the, that's the talking point number. And as witness.

[John C. Dvorak]

Can I stop you for a second and bring up the talking point number that talks?

[Adam Curry]

Oh no, no, you can't bring up the talking point because then they shut you down immediately. No talking points for you. Oh, my God, that was great. Is he so.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Wait, wait, wait.

[J.C.]

Stop, John.

[Adam Curry]

Stop, stop, stop. Complete. The minute you said, I'm bringing up the talking point, right away, you cut off. And I'm leaving that in the show this time because I'm sick of those guys doing it to us. Could you pick it up from the talking point?

[John C. Dvorak]

The talking point stems from Fauci, who, when asked about the deaths, he did a roundabout. He did some screwy thing where he says, 99.5% of all people who died of COVID 19 Covid were unvaccinated. And he said this recently, but he's referring to the total number of people, the 500,000, because recently not too many people have died, vaccinated or unvaccinated. It's just a fact.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, you mean since the beginning of the pandemic that many people have. Have died unvaccinated because there was no vaccine? Yeah, he's counting that as part of it.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's what he was. That was the whole scam. It was a scam count. And now Dick Durbin's bringing that number in as though today. Oh, I've rethought my position. Oh. On Mike Johnson, and I have two clips.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, but now, what was your original position?

[John C. Dvorak]

That the CIA or somebody came up to him and said, hey, look at this picture. Yeah, what's that in your mouth?

[Adam Curry]

You think, oh, John, stop. Now this is a fat

[John C. Dvorak]

succotash.

[Adam Curry]

I mean, succotash, sure. So dig the hole deeper. And now, ladies and gentlemen, first time for a new segment on the show, John C. Dvorak with the tip of the day. He's gonna tell us what he would do in every possible way.

[Darren O'Neill]

Just.

[Adam Curry]

Just the tip.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

We need jingles, everybody. We need jingles.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, anything.

[Adam Curry]

But that's all we got.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay? So I'm recommending a product, all right, that people will get a kick out of. It's an AI product, which kind of, you know, you will hate, so you don't. You shouldn't even look at it. But it's called 11. It's 11 Labs IO is the URL. And they just introduced the sound effects section. And there's this thing has got. What makes it fun. This.11LabsIO is the number of hallucinations that it creates. Oh.

[Adam Curry]

And do you have any examples?

[John C. Dvorak]

I do, but first I'm going to play a series of douchebag clips, all from the Same prompt. This is 11 labs, IO douchebags.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, here we go.

[J.C.]

Yeah, and you're a douchebag.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, if you're a douchebag.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hi.

[Adam Curry]

I don't think so. You douchebag. We finally found a use for AI as fantastic.

[John C. Dvorak]

So now I want to play the non hallucination clip, which is. She says exactly what I put in as the prompt. Then I'm going to play the hallucination. This is non hallucination clip.

[Adam Curry]

I just.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, no, no. You're playing the wrong clip.

[Adam Curry]

It says non.

[John C. Dvorak]

The clip is titled non hallucination.

[Adam Curry]

I'm sorry. Here we go. End of show, you douchebag. Now, I don't know what to choose.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's only one left. And so end of show, you douchebag. Which is in a sexy voice, which I didn't ask for. I asked for a person saying, end of show, you douchebag. And you also have to put it in phonetically because they can't pronounce the actual spelling. Douchebag.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, really? Really?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

What kind of AI Is that?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, you tell me. So. But it hallucinates so much now. You just heard that clip. End of show. Was it end of show, you douchebag. Here's the hallucination version.

[Adam Curry]

How did that.

[John C. Dvorak]

What is that?

[Adam Curry]

How did that even come about? I don't. I don't understand.

[John C. Dvorak]

I did. I could have played. Actually, the hallucinations are funnier than any of the clips, but it's like some of them are just so hot. And there's music. There's a music bed on a lot of them. I had one of. I didn't clip it, but I still said something about this. Almost the same clip with your douchebag, but it started playing Papa's got a brand new bag riff at the end. This music thing, it's unbelievable. But this is a fun product for people to play with.

[Adam Curry]

And again, the name of the product and the domain where we can find this fine product is your tip of the day.

[John C. Dvorak]

11 labs IO.

[Adam Curry]

All right, everybody.

[John C. Dvorak]

And they've just recently introduced the sound effects. So you can do sound effects.

[Adam Curry]

All right. Very good. Another tip from John Seed.

[J.C.]

Laura.

[Adam Curry]

Kids, was just the tip. Your name,

[J.C.]

Your name.

[John C. Dvorak]

I'm haunting dreams. Believe me, it's not that easy.

[Adam Curry]

I'm sorry. We are. It's completely equal. You are so right.

[John C. Dvorak]

You make a note on it.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Noted. Noted.

[John C. Dvorak]

Dirty Saudi Arabian Fiat money. Get some Saudi gold. Gold.

[Adam Curry]

Well, he says he could send silver.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, you can send gold. You can send mail the gold. But it's kind of heavy.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. And we thank them for the treasure.

[John C. Dvorak]

The producer that turned me on and

[Adam Curry]

now you on the no Agenda show

[John C. Dvorak]

has producers and we have unbelievable producers.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, we do.

[John C. Dvorak]

Does she listen to the show? I don't think she listens. She's not. Maybe Dominican matrix types don't like the show, but the white girl can't. No, no.

[Adam Curry]

Well, it's not, it's not even a color thing. I don't think.

[John C. Dvorak]

You do the accounting. We don't do it. You know, I did a column in PC magazine sometime in the 90s. I recall because I was kind of annoyed by the word nerd.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

And so. And no one had ever done an entomology of the word. And I mean, they did, but they were all lame and they were all guessing. It was almost like, you know, the. Again the 12 year old saying, I think it came from here, I think it came from there.

[Adam Curry]

Right.

[John C. Dvorak]

And they were getting it from ne' er do well, which made no sense to me whatsoever. So I started doing as much research as I could and I finally tracked it down and then I checked with Dr. Seuss from the White House, literally. And it came from a 1950s book. If I ran the zoo, that's the first use of the word nerd. And I could find no predating from 1950. I couldn't find anything in the 40s, 30s of anyone ever using the word. It began usage with this character and it was a little bitty nerdy looking guy. So it made nothing but sense to me that this was what the etymology.

[Adam Curry]

So it's a, it's a made up word. Made up by Dr. Seuss.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[J.C.]

Cool.

[John C. Dvorak]

So it was made up by Dr. Seuss as a nerd. And so, and so I confirmed it with Seuss and his assistant and guy says his name, I can't remember his first name, the writer. And he was pretty old then, but he made it up and he didn't realize that it was the, you know, it was the formation of the word nerd. I wrote this, all this history out. And so then, so I thought it was kind of cool that I developed, you know, found out the origins of this word. And so then I went and didn't do kind of the kicker to the story is I went to the Universal Studios park in Orlando and they had an if I ran the zoo exhibit, the nerd was not in it. Ah.

[Adam Curry]

And so you complained bitterly. No doubt. I've always wondered when, you know, when we go out to dinner, all these, these classy Restaurants. Restaurants. I was just wondering together, do we look like. Like you're my. Like we're. You're my gay sugar daddy, you know,

[John C. Dvorak]

I don't think so. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Because you can tell. I mean, for one thing, we. I don't think we give off any. Any gay vibe.

[Adam Curry]

I do.

[John C. Dvorak]

And then the other thing is I don't think anyone in San Francisco notices one way or the other cares because there's a lot of.

[J.C.]

True.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's a lot of gay couple I don't look like. Well, since you're picking up the tab, you know, it kind of proves I'm not.

[Adam Curry]

But you're refining me in life. You're showing me which wine to drink and so I. So I can culture myself, cultivate myself.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, but I never really do that. We just buy the wine and drink it. It's not like I ever explain anything.

[Adam Curry]

It's like, you know, I'm just winning, wondering. What are you explaining all the time? We're always talking.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it's mostly I'm just giving you the ridiculous anecdotal material about this wine and the winery and where it came from. I don't really describe. But that's different than what you would do if you were trying to get somebody up to speed on their palate.

[J.C.]

Yeah, but.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, but from a distance. And then we're always talking about our gadgets. I think there's a lot of gayness to us, John. I'm sorry, it's just as an outsider, I think we would actually register on Gaydo.

[John C. Dvorak]

At least we're in the right. Right neighborhood for it.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, true.

[John C. Dvorak]

Another thing that's kind of interesting if you can ever find a. We did make a clip of Eliza the comedian and her in her comment about it's okay to be harassed that a guy's good looking. Liza Schlesinger.

[Adam Curry]

Eliza. It's just.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's not Eliza. Yeah, Eliza something. I can't remember her first name, but there was an incident that took place after the show where we have a quarterback on The San Francisco 49ers football team who is a Eastern, like a Clooney esque, good looking guy, tall, dark and handsome, big smile, womanizing type. And he says to one of the sideline reporters, he calls her baby and she like turns red and she's all flustered by. And tweeters are going crazy about this. But of course, nobody calls him out for sexual harassment.

[Adam Curry]

Who did this? Who said.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Said this?

[John C. Dvorak]

This was Jimmy Garoppolo, the quarterback for The San Francisco 49ers, who's by all definitions is a good looking, tall, dark and handsome quarterback for a. For the football team. A football guy. And it would have been called out under any other circumstances except for the fact that he's good looking. And it brings back the old Liza Schlesinger bit where, you know, it's okay to be sexually harassed if the guy's attracted. Active.

[Adam Curry]

I wish.

[John C. Dvorak]

Every time it happens, it always irks me.

[Adam Curry]

I wish I could find that. I know you. I know you had it, but you either have her name wrong or you spelled it wrong.

[John C. Dvorak]

I probably would have put Liza. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

But you know what? I get a million clips with Elizabeth Warren.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, maybe it's Eli. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Which doesn't help with the Elizabeth. Same thing. Yeah, doesn't help much.

[John C. Dvorak]

Well, that's a shame.

[Adam Curry]

I got. What's this?

[Mimi Dvorak]

Being sexually harassed is the worst.

[J.C.]

I'm sorry.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, this is it.

[Adam Curry]

Let me rephrase that. Being sexually harassed by an ugly guy is the worst. There you go. If he's hot, it's just plain old flirting. No one's ever been like, get away from me, you model.

[J.C.]

That's fine.

[Adam Curry]

I love that. That's one of her best. That's so true. There's lots of money I can make in sex. Sex business. I mean, that's easy. I just, I'm not interested in being in that business.

[John C. Dvorak]

What do you mean? Selling your body. Oh, I see what you mean. You mean being a pimp.

[Adam Curry]

Would you know that the best online porn guys, you know, they're all. It's all in Amsterdam.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah, there's a lot of it there, I have to say. In fact, I ran it years and years ago. I was in. I went through Holland, I was at some event, and it was a early Boardwatch magazine thing. It was in Germany. And I ran into a bunch of these guys and they said, you want to just take a run over to Rotterdam and we'll go through Belgium and we'll taste some beer and whatever. And we got in the car and went over there and this. And we. We stopped and visited a friend of a friend and he ran. And this was like in the early 90s, in the early 90s, before the, you know, the net was even going. It was the old bulletin board scene.

[Adam Curry]

Yep.

[John C. Dvorak]

And he had his nice little house and it was just fine.

[Adam Curry]

Oh yeah, a sex farm with. That's what we call them.

[John C. Dvorak]

And then in the back, he said in the back room he had a bunch of servers and they were cranking out Porn like there was no tomorrow.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, yeah. Regulation was real easy. And it's socially acceptable to set up a business like that.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. And he was, you know, cranking away and I thought it was like, well, that's interesting. He was nonchalant about the whole thing.

[Adam Curry]

And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for. You know what it's time for. Great advice for you and me just. And sometimes.

[John C. Dvorak]

Adam.

[Adam Curry]

Hey, ma'.

[John C. Dvorak]

Am.

[Adam Curry]

That's a jingle.

[John C. Dvorak]

Jingle.

[Adam Curry]

That's a jingle right there. Thank you. Shwoo. All right, what's your tip?

[John C. Dvorak]

I thought you had the tip.

[Adam Curry]

No, you. We're gonna do a tip off. You do the tip, then I do a tip. Don't you remember?

[John C. Dvorak]

I got a tip.

[Adam Curry]

All right, what's your tip?

[John C. Dvorak]

So this for people who. This is a tip for people who have the habit of drinking soda or water or whatever and doshing it with a bunch of apple cider vinegar. Vinegar. It's either for health benefits, gut health. They don't have a leaky gut. Gut health or losing weight. Go to, go to Amazon.com and get the Hingstenberg 13 fine herbs flavored German vinegar seasoning instead. And use that instead of apple cider vinegar. It is delicious in a. In like I'm using it now in the topo, Chico. You dump a bunch of it in like a tablespoon of the vinegar into the water, and you got something that's refreshing and delicious. It's hang Stenberg. You can look it up by putting herb flavored vinegar and you'll find there's a bunch of people that make these things.

[Adam Curry]

All right, I have three tips actually for my tip. Tip one.

[John C. Dvorak]

Three.

[Adam Curry]

Yes. Tip one. Never ever ask your wife to help you with the tip. She was very mad. She said you should do your own tip. Second tip, sending email to me marked important puts you to the bottom of the list. Do you see this? People who send email and then go through the trouble of marking it important and then even asking for a return receipt. Bottom of the list.

[John C. Dvorak]

I haven't had that probably for 10 years.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, it happens every day. And my email program.

[John C. Dvorak]

That's because you never answer your email. I'm very. I'm very good at answering emails.

[Adam Curry]

You don't even answer my email. What are you talking about? No, because on Thunderbird, which I've been using to great success, Thunderbird, actually it shows up as red and it's very annoying. So I just deleted.

[John C. Dvorak]

Right. No, I see. Okay, well, that's no good. And finally, disable that coloring.

[Adam Curry]

And finally if you are. If you are a fan of. Of making coffee with ground coffee. So in a filter filter or the way I do it which is with. In the French press, put a dash of salt on top of your coffee. It not only reduces bitterness but it also brings prosperity to your family.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. Them some, some dangerously good.

[Adam Curry]

John C. Dvorak with the tip of the day. He's gonna tell us what he would do in every possible way.

[John C. Dvorak]

Now this is all alleged. Microsoft had an account. They were big with hookers in the early days to the point where they had an account with some. This is in the era where there was a lot of hookers bookers and they had an account at. And I would say what this era was is probably. I'm trying to put the years on it.

[Adam Curry]

I'm going to say it's probably early 80s Bush presidency when they were still

[John C. Dvorak]

in Bellevue is all I can say for sure.

[Darren O'Neill]

All right.

[John C. Dvorak]

And they had just an open account. And this is when Microsoft. Everyone had their own private offices. Everybody had a private office at Microsoft. And when you visited the company campus in the early days there was nobody. It wasn't one of these open air things where everyone felt like a drone. It was everyone had every coder, everyone who works there. Wherever you did, you had a private office. You could close the door and lock it and you could have a bed in there if you wanted to. If you wanted to spend the night. Because a lot of coders like to do that to just stay there.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah.

[John C. Dvorak]

And that was very common in the early days. And so they had an open account with whole. With the whorehouse. And it was just go onto the bill. I don't know what the petty cash. I have no idea how they wrote this off but any coder that was lonely could get some girl to come over and to keep at the place coding.

[Adam Curry]

Wow, what a great place to work.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. But had to be dynamite. That's where you could take a cut and pay to work there because there are benefits that are a little more than the free lunch at Google. Well, congratulations for getting this far.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, you too. Am I good, sir?

[John C. Dvorak]

Thanks. Not.

[Adam Curry]

Not bad at all.

[John C. Dvorak]

I think we've had a good run.

[Adam Curry]

We've had a good run, John. We should just quit while we're ahead. What would I be doing if we. If I had actually quit? If the podcast makes a thousand and shows with a stuff of only two. No sponsors to say no and take away their dough. If a show could watch a thousand nights and just as many days

[John C. Dvorak]

they

[Adam Curry]

give it all away and hope that people pay. But when we feel their thumbs are running bright we come big deep and and save the day. If a man could be two dimensions at one time I'd straddle with you Dimension be dimension A was spy all the way. If they ever. If I then should stop producing crap and tell him along I'd spend the end with you. And when a show was true

[John C. Dvorak]

one

[Darren O'Neill]

by one

[John C. Dvorak]

would return. These kids inspired once in a while it's very fun.

[Adam Curry]

And when Nick is firing on all

[John C. Dvorak]

cylinders, he's pretty hard to beat.

[Adam Curry]

I mean, we're kind of grooming him to take over the show, aren't we?

[John C. Dvorak]

Can you imagine.

[Adam Curry]

The prevalent one being that this did happen? This is part of what Roswell was all about. And there was contact. And the governments of the world shot him. Shot the fucker down. But the governments of the world have been in contact and they have a deal. They gave us technology. We give them babies to eat and blood to drink. I mean, come on, you've read these theories.

[John C. Dvorak]

Strawberry ice cream is one of the things they like.

[Adam Curry]

So I haven't come across that one yet.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh yeah, that's in there, believe me. We're interrupting your regularly scheduled day for an EBS alert. That one of our heroes past today for 18 years he's brought the buzz

[Adam Curry]

kill to the mainstream media lies his grouchy solemn knowledge.

[John C. Dvorak]

Always quick with his replies he'd cut

[Adam Curry]

through all the noise with reason as

[John C. Dvorak]

his guide A skeptic to to the

[Adam Curry]

very end with truth he would not hide A tech mind far ahead A lover of a vintage pour he taught

[John C. Dvorak]

us all to question, to always seek

[Adam Curry]

a little more he wore his grump with honor and wisdom in his heart A knight in shining armor who always played his part. Though the microphone is silent and the wine glass rests today the lessons that

[John C. Dvorak]

he gave us will never fade away.

[Adam Curry]

So raise a glass and grab gratitude for stories, laughs and lore Fair winds,

[John C. Dvorak]

Sir John C. D Vorak.

[Adam Curry]

We'll miss you evermore. In the morning we'll remember as another show begins. Your voice still echoes softly in the minds of loyal friends.

[John C. Dvorak]

Rest easy, noble knight.

[Adam Curry]

Your watch is finally through. And thank you for reminding us

[J.C.]

to

[Adam Curry]

think before we choose. Rest in peace, John Z. Dvorak. And thank you to the grumpy old dames for that last song. And thank you to all of the producers who put this together. It was amazing. I tried to get as many people credited in the show notes for today. Not everybody did or was able to create an account on podherd.com, so unfortunately, I couldn't get everybody in there. And a special thanks to Dame Jennifer. We had at least 19, 19 animated no agenda pieces in there, and it was really, really so wonderful just to listen to all of that. No Agenda does not end. I just want to say that up front, what we are going to do is we're going to take two weeks off. I'm tired, Mimi's tired. Everybody's tired. There's a lot to do. We have a funeral and memorial service coming up on August 8th in Oakland and San Francisco. But in that time, the show will continue. And we have found Darren o' Neill and Larry Bleitner more than willing to take over the show for two weeks to get back to some media deconstruction. Of course, they will continue to honor John in those two weeks, and I will return on the Thursday after those two weeks. But things will change. We will probably experiment with some different voices. We know that no Agenda is. Is just bigger than John and I ever set it out to be. And no Agenda Nation is an incredibly important community, global community, to me and to everybody else. So nothing is going to stop. We will continue in those two weeks. I will continue with podcasting 2.0 when we get to do this with Pastor Jimmy as part of my own processing of everything. And I look forward to see how the community picks this up. Remember, you are producers. You're not listeners. You are just as much a part of the show as John and I were listening to the past 2 hours and 43 minutes, there was a couple of surprising things to me. The first one is that the number one most favorite ISO was Game Set Match. The Alien People win. I can't even remember. Remember how long ago that one came up. But the most important thing that I learned is that Dana Brunetti is a fraud. What a typical Hollywood guy taking credit for someone else's creation. I'm like, what are you doing, brunette? He didn't create anything. If anything was Eli the coffee guy. And this thing was going on from episode 200.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Wait, let me clarify that. We were doing the happy news stories, and everybody was like, oh, brother, let's stop those. And that's when Brunetti told John, you need to do the tip of the day. Calling it back. So it wasn't. He came up with the idea. He was just urging us to stop doing the happy news story.

[Adam Curry]

But somehow he forced us to create a created by Dana Brunetti Credit in the. In the clothes.

[Mimi Dvorak]

That's because he's Magic.

[Adam Curry]

JC, are you there? I'm not sure that your microphone is. Is connected. Just want to make sure that you're there.

[J.C.]

I'm here. I'm here. Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Are you on the right mic? It looks like you're on your browser setting. Make sure you're on that snowball or that blue thing, whatever you're on.

[Mimi Dvorak]

And then we've got Brennan here.

[Adam Curry]

Hello, Brennan.

[Darren O'Neill]

Hello, Adam.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah, Killer show. Really great.

[Adam Curry]

Well, I had nothing to do with it. I just put it all together and believe me, there's more. People are sending more and more clips. I love that Sir Chris Wilson just resurrected like a phoenix from the ashes. He's been texting me. He's. You know, it just felt so right to have some of his end of show mixes in there. But the wealth of material as I was going through putting this together, I mean, it is unbelievable the things that we went through with as no agenda nation together. I mean, the COVID clips were blowing my mind. Mind. Just the stuff that we were seeing and talking about in the middle of deplatforming everywhere. I mean, wow. We really. We kept each other alive. It was just so wonderful.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

All of these things. All of these.

[Mimi Dvorak]

A lot of years, Adam. It was a lot of shows.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

I think I calculated it's over 5000 hours of content that we. That we produce. Wow.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Okay.

[Adam Curry]

That's a lot of hours. I don't even know how many years that is.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Clip shows forever.

[Adam Curry]

Hold on a second, J.C. hold on.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Let's turn up him.

[Adam Curry]

I want to make sure that j. Give me some signal. J.C. hello. Yeah, you need a little bit more. Okay.

[J.C.]

All right. Let me see what else I can do.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Come on, computer boy. Make it work. There you go. That'll get better. So go ahead.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Not even 30 minutes before the plug dropped out of the plug connected completely shut down my whole system.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, of course.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Completely making me freak out. So. Thanks, John.

[Adam Curry]

I was literally, because, you know, I was playing this on VLC because I wanted to make sure it wasn't too over compressed because some of the sound is already a little tricky in some of those older episodes. I was literally keeping my hands away from the mouse, away from the keyboard. Like, I don't want anything to stop in the middle of this. I want to just keep on going. And praise God it did. I was not letting him do any of. And I think he was probably like, no, I'm not going to mess with this. This is too good. And I just love that the producers put it together. That Was really, really, really nice. I think we got it. But crazy. So many people came in with game, set, match. The alien people win. I. I was. I like, wow. I had no idea that that was such a thing. No idea.

[Mimi Dvorak]

That's interesting. So, J.C. can we hear you yet?

[J.C.]

I don't know. Can you hear me?

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

Yes.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yay.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, easy. Easy to meet me by donating to no Agenda.

[John C. Dvorak]

Imagine all the people who could do that.

[Darren O'Neill]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Curry]

That'd be fabulous.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah. On no Agenda in the morning.

[Adam Curry]

So no surprise that we all mourn in different ways. And in no Agenda Nation, we like to mourn and celebrate with donation notes. And I. I have a feeling John would be pretty angry about the length of some of these notes. Holy mackerel. Holy mackerel. He would be complaining. We're not going to do that. We are going to read the notes that came in as we promised.

[J.C.]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. We can complain still.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, no. We should complain. There's no doubt about it. And we stopped at 88.88on the last show. We're going to go all the way through to the 50s, as we always do with the addition, I think, of some from the last show. So everybody who sent in a note. We'll read your note, Mimi. It's something to say.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah, I. I have it between now and midnight to do this. No problem.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, that's kind of the amazing thing. Oops. Oh, that's a little too loud.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Hold on.

[Adam Curry]

Sorry about that.

[Mimi Dvorak]

What's that?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, no, it's just me. I'm. I'm getting the sound right here. It's better than the last show. Holy moly. You know why? Because you got headphones.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh, yeah. Well, I couldn't hear with the speakers on the floor. Anyway.

[Adam Curry]

I don't know how John did it.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I have.

[Darren O'Neill]

No, I don't.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I think he wasn't really listening.

[Darren O'Neill]

Sheer stubbornness.

[Adam Curry]

No, I think meaning has it right.

[Darren O'Neill]

Unwillingness to change.

[Adam Curry]

He wasn't actually listening to me. That's probably right.

[Darren O'Neill]

That's.

[Adam Curry]

That's probably closer to the truth. So let's. Let's go down our list. We start off right off the bat with a Rubbleizer from Viscount dude named Jeff Protectorate of the land from Westlake, Ohio. $3,333.33. He says, I've been waiting for the right time for a Rubbleizer donation. No better time than in honor of jcd. No jingles, no karma in honor of JCD but yes, sir, you get this. India Tango Mike standby, 333333 rubbleizer out and I might as well continue. Continue with the next very long note from Sir Steve Knight of the red heart. Also 3333 and 33 cents he says no Agenda Family Seeing the passing of John C. Dvorak on the title of show 1888 made my heart sink. I've never cried for the passing of someone I have never met. This, by the way, was a general comment people would send me. The impact of this show has had on me and so many others is evident with the resounding messages that has happened over the last last week. I'm incredible, incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon this show thanks to Adam's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast in early 2020. Rogan donation I started listening before my daughter was born in March of 2020 and the insight the two of you provided helped immensely navigating that first year of her life when it seemed like the world was turned upside down. I'm beyond appreciative of the service that you two have provided in a time when it's rare to converse with anyone outside of your chatbot. You too made it enjoyable to listen to two old friends discuss the state of the world twice weekly. If I can suggest if it's even possible to find any more, is an article discussing the Higher Hand which explores higher and lower planes of spiritual existence. I bring this up because, having listened to John and heard the overwhelming sentiment about his impact on others lives, that there is no doubt that he has transcended this plane of spiritual existence and ascending. This donation brings me to Baron Hood. I would like to request the rule of Southwest Lorain County, Ohio, specifically the Township of Columbia Station. I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate the value both Adam and John have provided to me over the last six years. Six years and a half. Other than a bitcoin donation, the Rebelizer donation cost me roughly 333.33 when it was purchased in 2018-2019. I wish the value I could provide was 100x this value, but sadly I wasn't early enough to the hard money revolution. I truly appreciate everything that the entire no Agenda crew has done to make this experience a possibility because there's nothing else like it. I can't wait to get the Rubbleizer coin eventually. Yes, I'd also like to request John's Fisting Nuts jingle for brevity. We're going to do some of these longer jingles at the end because this will take several hours to get through this. Note Reverend Manning we're all going to need a of bit Bitcoin and if possible, a prayer from Adam, because I think we're all in need of one in times like this. Let me give you your rubble. India, Tango, Mike, standby.

[Darren O'Neill]

33.

[Adam Curry]

33, 33. Rubberizer out. So I. I do want to honor his request. Do we have.

[J.C.]

Do we have Jay nearby to like, start keeping accounting of all the jingles that were owed at the end of this?

[Mimi Dvorak]

No. Chase, Jay started. No, Jay's sleeping.

[Adam Curry]

Let me to honor his request of a prayer. I will do that. Father God, in Jesus name, we come to you as an entire community. And we thank you for the time that we were able to spend with John here on this earth. Lord, we ask you for grace and we ask you for the Holy Spirit to lift us up during this time. Lift up the Dvoraks, lift up the decuries, lift up all of Noah. Jenna Nation, Lord, and we pray that you have your arms around John. And we pray for this, Lord, in your son Jesus name. Amen. Sir Gatekeeper to the no Agenda family. Sir Gatekeeper here. Returning from the fog of my life with my deepest and warmest condolences on the passing of John C. Dvorak. I've been saving my donation for episode 2000, but it felt right to send it now in his honor. I was hooked from episode 852 sorocracy and have been listening. I don't even remember that one and have been listening intermittently ever since. I greatly enjoyed John's 3x3 broadcast analysis and that awesome jingle. What an earworm. His robust knowledge of aphorisms and his insightful tips will be sorely missed. Since my insanite donation on episode 999, I Got Married, opened a business, closed that business, Covid, killed it, got divorced and now returned to attending church after 20 years. Praying the rosary daily and reading the scriptures and hope that we might all be saved. We never know where life will take us, but we can thank God that we have the blessings needed to carry on. I believe with this donation, I should now qualify for Baron Peerage. If the title is still available, I'd be honored to become Baron Thaddeus of the Tampa Peninsula. Thank you both for all the years of content and maybe more. Time will tell. Love and light, Thad. Sir Gatekeeper Parker and I have noted your jingle requests of the three by three. I think we can do those at the end. Warren Crafts, $1,987.25 and ask for a deduc.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched.

[Adam Curry]

I was thinking about the show on Thursday morning and saw the news. Prayers to all and many lightness and may lightness find all of our hearts. JCD will be missed. Thank you Adam, Mimi and crew for all you do. Humbly requesting my night name of Sir Crafts of the Timbered Highland. May we have rye whiskey and fistful of nuts at the round table. Respectfully Warren Crafts and your jingle of the ghostly donate is noted. Boy, here's one that John would hate. It's blowing out the spreadsheet. Owen k from Tucson, Arizona 1888 $0.88 thank you on 723 I was hoping to enjoy another episode of the Best podcast in the universe, but the feed wasn't showing an update as the usual at the usual time. Instead I tuned into we get to do this and was shocked to hear about John's passing. No Agenda has been part of my life since 2008. It has always been something to look forward to on Sundays and Thursdays. Having quit TV around the same time, it quickly became my main source of news. The show has been with me through all kinds of highs and lows. I have good memories of tending the grill as I cook Sunday dinner for me and my parents, accompanied by you and John discussing the latest news. International conflict, disease outbreak or beauty pageant. There's that chair creak when anything major happens happen in the world, the first thing I think was I wonder what John and Adam are going to say. I was fully expecting you two would make it to 2000 and beyond. Every time either of you hinted at ending the show, I thought maybe listeners could donate so much money you would be indebted to continue the show as our media analysis slaves ad finitum. I loved John's sense of humor, laughter and quick wit and followed him across the Internet from no Agenda to Twit, Cranky Geeks, Tech5DH Unplugged and a New Domain. I forgot about that one. He was the crazy uncle we all wish we had with the best stories and funniest quips. Listen to the John Stories episode several times. Adam has been remarkable hearing about your faith journey and encouraging to me even as a fellow believer. I hope your walk with Christ was meaningful to John and changed his heart in some way. This is my first real donation, though I did get my official no Agenda challenge coin back in 2010. I'll happily take a deduche.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched and you could

[Adam Curry]

knight me Sir OK of the Middle Desert and I'd like root beer and soft pretzels at the round table. There will be another. There will never be another John, but I hope no agenda continues on in some form. Gitmonation media assassinations never get old. Praying for all who grieve John's passing. He will be so missed. Owen from Tucson and He has a P.S. of course. A few months ago I attempted to get AI to generate a picture of John's office based on the tidbits of information we have got gotten from him over the years. Phrase from the chase from the chaise mudflats, red book, the tech archives, piles of cans, noisemakers, spreadsheets that won't fit on the screen and then he sent an image of that and we appreciate it and your jingles are noted. Thank you very much. Raymond lee San Francisco, CA 1,871 and 22 cents Dear Adam, I'm still stunned that John has been called home to the great podcaster in the sky. I've been listening to you guys for over a decade. Thank you you for both for being a friend. I sent 88 888.88 to you and John's honor plus fees love and light Reed Cornelius from Magnolia, Texas 133388 ITM Dvoraks and Curry Rest in peace Buzzkill A true Renaissance man of the tech era. I always thought there'd be another promotion or time to make good for the huge part of my life, my smoking hot wife and our three human resources lives. No agenda and JCD has been our early life. Our earthly life is too short. To the young producers Put your phone in the drawer, Build your relationship with God, Go to a sock hop, find your keeper, have lots of human resources, then entertain at family meals and keep their amygdala right sized. Follow JCD's example. Divine Mercy of Christ, be with John Holy Spirit, provide strength and healing to all the souls he has touched. Amen. I need a deduching

Now John would like that note.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, Nice and short. Mimi, you want to take it from here?

[Mimi Dvorak]

I'm gonna let J.C. do it.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, good.

[J.C.]

All right, so we've got Kyron Sanders, Albert, Colorado. I'd like this instant night donation to be a switcheroo to my father who can temporarily take the night. Name, sir? Big Ed, the gas farmer. As a young 30 year old man, it has become increasingly more relevant to me that we stand on the shoulders of giants. May this be a quick reminder to young men listening that no effort is too Sisyphusian. We must push forward to honor these men as giants. Hands like. Push them up like rocks. Anyway, may we remember our fathers, grandfathers, brothers, friends and those who we gained so much from. Here's to John C. Dvorak, a man who gave to all. Thank you. God rest his soul.

So, Matt Werges, admin, Mimi and the whole Dvorak family, my sincere condolences to you. I am still at a loss for words. I've been a fan of John since the Tech TV days and a listener of no Agenda via Twit. Since the beginning, no Agenda has accompanied me on countless commutes and tens of thousands of miles of running. I'll miss my number one favorite grouser. Life is indeed a scam. Matt. P.S. please night me, sir. Comcore of Adams Township, sir. Mr. Dublina.

[J.C.]

the morning to the Dvorak family. I'm sorry for your loss and we'll be praying for you all. To Adam, I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved friend and co host. I've enjoyed hearing about your journey with Christ the past few years. I emailed you a couple of years ago and you added me to your prayer chain. Over the last few months I've been actively going back to church with my wife and our youngest son got baptized in May. I started listening right before COVID and you all really helped me learn to not only listen to what people say but how much they but how how they say it. Between no Agenda and mo fax I've learned so much. Anyway, I've been a douche for far too long and went ahead and became an ensignite. I'm planning on going to the Chattanooga meetup on 822 with my wife five days after my 46th birthday. I'd like to be known as Sir Ginger Bearer of East By God Tennessee. All I required at the roundtable is Mellow Yellow zero. John was special, much like yourself and listening to his family. Pay beautiful tribute to him Friday morning with inspiring here's my thought on John in all of human history, God blessed us to live at the same time as John C. Dvorak. There will never be another one. Rest in peace jcd Please De douche me sincerest condolences. Got lovely.

[Adam Curry]

Politicization, politicizing, standardization of our college entrance exams. John replied typical BS ruining the country and named me no Agenda's new cultural attache to the educational meniscus. More than half my life I listened to John. How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

[Adam Curry]

Amen.

[Darren O'Neill]

Brandon Mango $935.66 sense heaven is a beautiful place. I was there April 1, 2011. I can't wait to go back. It was so beautiful. You are so lucky man. Sorry for your family's loss.

John had such an impact on my life going back to those early computer years I've been listening since the beginning and I really appreciate what has emerged from all the hard work and dedication of John and Adam, as well as their families and no Agenda Nation. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sir Carl of Carey, Sir Mike and Dame Becky of Cheney.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Sir Scofie Grand Duke of The Piedmont Charlotte, NC $935.66 Adam Mimi Dvorak family and fellow producers, please accept this donation of 888.88 plus fees. The sadness is real. The sadness is real. Get Monation and also the outpouring of admiration and love for John brings so much joy and the fate of his phone in the drawer comes to mind. Mind. Well, the def that device brings belongs in a technology museum or a drawer in a technology museum. Not to be displayed in just a boring case, but to be displayed in an actual drawer. Same thought, a drawer to be opened up to see the device. And when the drawer is opened, an audio clip plays of John saying and I so ended up so I put it up in the drawer for a while. Thank you JCD for your wonderful influence. The world needs more of that love and light. Sir Scovy Grand Duke of the Piedmont Carol Goodman 888.88 ITM Adam I was saddened to hear about JCD's passing. I only discovered no Agenda this past year, but he quickly became one of my favorite voices on the show. His humor and delivery made every episode better. It's hard to imagine the show without him. I also wanted to say again how much I appreciate you Adam as part of my church. Family and no Agenda. Your voice, perspective and dedication means a lot to so many of us and I'd like to keep hearing no Agenda for years to come. My thoughts and prayers are with this family, with you, and with everyone who knew and loved him. JCD brought so much personality to the show and he will be deeply missed. Missed. I'll mostly miss hearing him say bull crap as we all say around the house all the time every show. He always made me chuckle and I Hope you'll consider turning it into a jingle so his voice and spirit can live on in the show. It would be a fitting tribute to the joy he brought so many. Thank you for everything you and JCD were given have given the audience. Please take care. And again, my deepest condolences. God bless you, Adam. And I'm keeping you in my prayers. Prayers ITM Carol Goodman Willow City, Texas sir actually you should read this one, Adam.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, Sir. Yon the innkeeper of Amsterdam and sir I think he came in again. 888.88 Dear Adam, what a tragedy. Love to you and John's family. We will miss him dearly.

Andrea Gardner 777 Gutted to hear the man, the myth, the legend, John C. Dvorak is no longer with us. Hugs to Mimi and his amazing family. Also to Adam, Tina, Andrew and all his friends. Love from Black Knight, Sir Kelly, Dame Andrea and Sir Dallas. Listeners and producers since 2007 until the end, which we hope is never. Thank you for all the fun memories, John.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yes, Andrea. Andrea Gardner.

[Adam Curry]

That's who I just.

[Darren O'Neill]

That was the one we ran.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, I. I'm Dame Rachel. It's okay, I'll just.

[Mimi Dvorak]

No, I'll just sit in the corner.

[Adam Curry]

Now, believe me, John and I went through this all the time. Dame Rachel, Covington, Louisiana. $720.26. No note. Lyle, Lyle, Lyle. 7, 11 and 15 cents. Adam. I was waiting for bitcoin to hit a thousand so I could go straight straight to insanite. A thousand. Well paid. A thousand a long time ago maybe meant a million. Ironically, John didn't hang around to see that day. Which he would have groused about, which only feels right for a bitcoin donation. The no Agenda show has been a constant voice in an ocean of madness. To not get his worldview twice a week will be a real gap in my life. Please de douche me.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched.

[Adam Curry]

Rubble eyes are out. So that's only for rubble. Kia kaha. I believe it is. Lyle. Dame Lacey from Lake Mills, Wisconsin. 588. 88. The John family and friends. My virtual arms are reaching out to embrace you during this incredibly difficult time. John was truly an esteemed man who remarkably impacted the lives of countless people. His losses felt deeply by so many, me included. To show the love and admiration I hold for jcd, I offer this donation in his honor. This brings my peerage level to that of Baroness. May I please hear here? John once again asked for producers to donate in his spooky voice. I will play that at the end. Blessings to all, Love and light. Thank you for your courage. Dame lacey, Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Tom and Larissa from Georgetown, Texas, 52636. To Adam and the Dvorak family. We send you our heartfelt condolences on the passing of jcd. We are going to miss his grumpiness. May he rest in peace. Sincerely, Tom and Larisa. Oh, this is the one I've been waiting for. Okay, this literally blows out three spreadsheets, but we do, we do, we do break for not for nights here on the show. So, Sir Knives of the Providence Plantations and Lady Butters of the Narragansett bay sent in $526.36. And whoever is next will take it after this one. Adam, Mimi and all the no Agenda family. I had wanted to donate for Thursday's show, but I found myself at a bit of a loss for what to say. Losing John so sudden. Harder than I thought possible. When my wife, Lady Butters, texted me initially, I couldn't believe it. And as so many others have said, I thought it simply had to be a ploy for donations was a possibility. I wish I rarely hate being so wrong as much as I feel now myself and Lady Butters have been delinquent in donations too long. I hope my $500 plus fees can make up for that and that you humor my following on how John has impacted us both. George S. Patton once said, it is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who d rather we should thank God such men lived. It feels apt. I think My first interaction with JCD was as a kid in grade school in our shambles of a computer lab where they were teaching us to type. And though my memory is foggy, I'm pretty sure I remember the voice prompting me was none other than JCD himself. Yes, they used Dvorak on typing. Was that a real thing?

[Mimi Dvorak]

Mimi oh, absolutely it is. And we have one framed on the wall.

[Adam Curry]

Oh my goodness, I didn't even know about that already. A rather old product by the time I was there to teach the K. I suppose I can understand why John may have hesitated to recommend it and seem to shy away from talking about it on the show. Wow, I didn't know this about Dvorak on typing. I need this. I'm a pecker. I need to learn how to type. I am now a 38 year old computer engineer with nearly two decades experience and to this day I utilize a bastardized pick and peck method that ended up becoming ingrained in me as a kid. But the fundamentals of typing clearly didn't stick. John's voice sure did in high school. I have fond memories of seeing John every so often when I would catch him on tech tv. I recall him always eliciting a chuckle from me when I saw one of his hot takes and I always appreciated his wit. It stuck with me, made me feel like being a computer nerd wasn't a stigma and that there were normal folks out there that were also something more than computer literate. Seemed like he had a solid grasp of Oscar Wilde's concept that life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously seriously about it. Fast forward to 2016. I distinctly remember I was tremendously hungover, sitting on the couch, and through some freak oddity my echo speaker fouled up what I told it to start playing some random podcast. The best podcast in the universe or some such thing as they build it. My addled semi conscious mind didn't bother to turn it off and instead I listened. I thought I recognized one of the voices I heard. There was this overzealous guy who sounded like he had a lot of hair, but there was also the other host who sounded suspiciously like he had less hair and I wondered why the first guy wasn't sharing the hair, but I digress. Oh man, he sounded familiar. It struck me then. Crap in a hat. That's John Dvorak. The same guy who I ignored typing prompts from and I thought was amusing a decade prior when I caught him on tv. I sat there slipping in and out as I yo yoed my guts from imbibing far too much the prior night and listened to suddenly enraptured when my at the time recent wife Lady Butters stopped it to set a timer for something and I was pissed, I realized I'd found something remarkable. A huge part of that was John. In the time since, no Agenda has In the time since, no Agenda has become a weekly staple in our house. Countless are the Sundays we have sat enjoying brunch after our weekly range trips. We call it going to church, listening to the livestream, laughing and enjoying JCD's rapier with wit and sensible takes. Often we would have range buddies over after and getting over what they initially thought was a cult. They would be laughing, appreciating John's acumen as well. Numerous times John would bust out some quip or some one liner that had us laughing and my dear Lady Butters would exclaim, see? That is why John is my spirit animal. He is the best curmudgeon. She had always felt kindred with John as a fellow writer. I can't describe how elated she was when he saw fit to add her as a connection on LinkedIn years back. She was elated and wore it as a badge of honor. I truly think it was. To be associated in any way with such a prolific personality is truly an honor. He was as fundamental to her as he has been to me. What's the word? Resquiat in pace. Thank you, John. They broke the mold with you. You will be so sorely made miss, but never forgotten. We poured one out for you when we heard and you have our word we're doing another for you now. Go bravely into that howling infinite, knowing in the howling infinite knowing how many lies you had made. Better rest easy. Be proud. You deserve it. Say hey to my Uncle Stephen if you see him. You guys will get along. I've dragged this on. Oh, not really. My apologies. And I don't know a good way to end it, but some lines of a song come to mind written by Springsteen before he went off the deep end. It seems poignant. They say you can't take it with you, but I think they're wrong because all I know is I woke up this morning and something big was gone. Gone into that dark ether where you're still young and hard and cold. Just like when they built you, brother, and broke the mold. Now your death is upon us and will return your ashes to the earth. And I know you'll take comfort in knowing you've been roundly blessed and cursed. But love is a power great, greater than death. Just like songs and stories told. And when she built you, brother, she broke the mold. Thank you so much for your time reading this. All the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, the subs in the water mourn you this day. Thank you for your courage, sir. Knives of the Providence Plantations and Lady Butters of the Narragansett Bay.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I didn't know that Springsteen actually had

[Mimi Dvorak]

I will do my best.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, you can. I know you can. It works better that way.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I only have one computer screen here, so.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, well, the mute is on the clean feed.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Right. Which is a different. Sure, I'll figure it out.

[Adam Curry]

I'll mute you now then, and you can figure it out.

[Mimi Dvorak]

There you go.

[Adam Curry]

All right, go ahead, J.C. all right,

[J.C.]

so David Rhodes coming in with $522.10. Please accept 330. 3:30 from me and 188 and 80 cents from my smoking hot wife, Nina. And de douche us

[Adam Curry]

you've been de douched,

[J.C.]

sir. Less than Jake Knight of the XMO and grouse crick hit us in the mouth in 2020. 2021. Our amygdalae are forever grateful. Godspeed, JCD words can express our gratitude. Thank you for your courage, Adam, the Divorc family, and everyone in no Agenda Nation. Baroness Kelly, San Diego, California. $500 to the Dvorak and Curry family. God bless you all. I'm having a $20 bottle of wine from John's Tip of the day. Salute, John. Salute. I don't know, John. Thank you for giggle. Rest in peace. JDV Avery Allen, Trenton, N.J. 500. Hello, no Agenda family today. My heart is heavy, but I feel rich having listened for so long and also feel encouraged that Adam will continue the legacy. Best wishes to Adam and John's family, Katie and Tom Tierney and in Carver, Minnesota. 500. All right, let me prepare.

[Adam Curry]

Here you go.

[J.C.]

All right. Two years ago, my brother Rob, the constitutional lawyer, called me while I was walking around the campus of the greatest university on the planet, Texas A and M. Whoop. Dropping off our youngest for school. He was actually calling to ask for some job search advice for a friend. But before he got to that point, he had to tell me about how he knew her. As it turns out, this story led straight to no Agenda. Then he asked me, do you remember PC Magazine? I laughed. Of course I do. The magazine is partly responsible for the entire direction of my career. From there, he told me about meeting John and Adam, and before long, my smoking hot hillbilly husband and I became devoted no Agenda producers in waiting. For the past two years, those six hours a week have been some of the few moments where the noise of the world fades away and the common sense returns. When my brother texted this week to tell me that John had died, it felt like a punch in the gut. I've been following John C. Dvorak's work for more than 30 years. From the PC Magazine days through no Agenda, I always assumed there would be time to meet him someday. And then, suddenly, there wasn't. John had a combination of wit, intelligence, skepticism, and delightful, cranky charm that simply can't be replaced. He taught generations of us to question narratives, think independently, and never lose our sense of humor while doing it. The donation in John's memory is officially our de douching.

[Adam Curry]

You nailed it. I, I, I was delayed. Sorry.

[J.C.]

That's all right. I've been telling Tom we should become producers ever since we started listening, but life always seemed to get in the way. If you realize that's not. I've realized that's not a very good excuse. If John's passing has reminded me of anything, it's this. Don't wait. Support the things you value. Tell people what they mean to you. Make the trip. Give the donation. Live the life. Thank you, John, for decades of insight, laughter, and perspective. You left the world sharper than you found it. Godspeed, John Ren. Rest in peace. Keith Serbig Johnson Poughkeepsie, New New York $500. Dear Adam and Dvorak family. Been a listener since episode 11. John was the best. My deepest condolences. I've heard when I've heard. When office chair squeaks, a podcaster gets his wings. That he had a number of wings. Sort of. Sort of like biblically accurate angel wings.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Didn't. Didn't we skip? We skipped somebody.

[Adam Curry]

No, we didn't.

[John C. Dvorak]

No.

[J.C.]

We skipped nobody.

[Adam Curry]

No.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh, okay, I'm out of it. Back to being quiet.

[J.C.]

We're on 41 now.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Okay.

Anonymous douchebag in Kent Field, California $444. Rest easy John. Thank you for many years of great entertainment. You were loved and you will be missed. Sir R. Daniels 42221 I saw the email notification in the background while on a virtual meeting and assumed it was JCD News Newsletter Clickbait how wrong was I? I was listening to John's last show before hearing the news last week. As usual, while working out, I remarked on my head how this show how this show. These guys have been part of my life for decades. I'm 53, so Adam on MTV pairing up with the guy I had been reading since the sixth grade in PC Magazine. I started listening to no Agenda at episode one. I was there from the beginning, hearing about it first on twit. Christian Hartsock, former Project Veritas chief investigative reporter and the man behind the Noodle Boy story, called me and asked, have you heard the news? Devastated, no Jangles, just karma. Love you Adam and Tina, Mimi and Fish family mean it. I hope you can find ways to keep it going. We're here. No Agenda Nation. Many more years. Take it away. Yeah.

[Darren O'Neill]

The Cohans with $421.10 hi Adam and team. I'm so sorry for your loss. In remembrance of John, I thought you might like to hear how no Agenda, especially John as a fellow Bay Area resident, played a part in our lives. When my husband Josh and I started dating during COVID our first real test of compatibility was sharing our favorite podcasts. I, a reformed, angry New Yorker, listened to soothing, gentle voices like Ira Glass and Renee Brown.

[Adam Curry]

Oh no.

[Darren O'Neill]

Who told stories of humanity and perseverance. Josh, on the other hand, a represented agitator at heart, raised on a strict Bay Area diet of good vibes. Only listen to you, Adam and John, who always seemed to be yelling loudly about corruption everywhere. I get it. You can't trust anyone. It just wasn't for me. Adam's voice raised my cortisol levels. John was slightly easier on the ears, but I mostly listened just to connect with Josh, with whom I was slowly growing to love. Over the years, though, I grew to genuinely appreciate the show. Hell, even Adam's voice grew on me. But for Josh, this show became a significant part of his support system during the hardest period in his his life. Brutal divorce and custody battle, stressful career. Josh and I come from a vastly different world on paper, we're not compatible, and our relationship was strained for many reasons, but our mutual love and respect grew stronger as we learned about each other, and your show was a major factor in propelling our relationship forward. Listening, pausing, talking, listening again to your voices made us realize that our compatibility wasn't in identical backgrounds or viewpoints, but rather in our willingness to engage engage in hard conversations and lovingly challenge each other's perceived belief system. And that has become a building block in our marriage today. Ira Glass sure as hell didn't help us grow as a couple, and for that I am forever grateful. We will miss you John Adam. You got this Much love and respect. The CO hands James Knittle from Moore, South Carolina with $408.47 RIP JCD F cancer.

[Mimi Dvorak]

You've got karma.

[Darren O'Neill]

Robert Roberts from Grant Grants Pass, Oregon with a $388.88cent donation I was first introduced to the show by Brian the Drunk millennial back in 2015. You used to say you have to listen to three shows that to get into it and that was true for me. I used to only catch drips and drops riding in the truck with Brian. But one day I started on my own and then I was hooked. Been here ever since and I'm so thankful. When I was saw the newsletter title I thought it was one of John's clever ploys. I had missed the newsletter when it came out. Yeah, we tricked them all. I had missed the newsletter when it came out as I worked a long day in the woods. Woods out of service and I saw it at 3:30 in the morning while having my morning coffee. When I opened it and saw the photo of John, that sense of dread welled up and when I read the Room in memoriam I was gutted. I seldom cry, but the rendition of I'm gonna miss you in the morning last show got me. You two have been with me for timber, cruising the redwoods, hours of making timber and laying out harvests until across California, surveying plantations in Oregon and long drives across the western states, planting more than 10 million seeds.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wow.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Seedlings. Wow.

[Darren O'Neill]

Y' all got me through it all. After 11 years, I've come to think of you and John as friends and mentors. You've both meant so much and I can't believe John is gone. When I started listening, I jumped in quickly. I started trying to get to knighthood. But in 2020 I was diagnosed with chronic ly. Had a kid to boot. I could never pay value for value and after that my finances were drained. I always wanted to get there. And with this donation, I finally reached knighthood. A day late and a thousand of dollars short of what real value for value would be. I would like to be Sir Tin Man. Morning, Knight. Morning Spelt with you for the round table. Could you order up? John's favorite. Y' all have always been in my prayers and even more so lately. I'm sorry for the rambling. I guess I just don't know how to put all of these thoughts and feelings together in the morning. And thank you for your courage. Robert Roberts, Sir Chris and Dame Kristen of Carmel by the Sea, California for the $388.88 donation. Dear Adam, Mimi and family, Dame Kristen and I are shocked and saddened by the news of John's passing. Like so many in no Agenda community, we can't believe he's gone. We are honored. We are honored to have been executive producers of the show for over over the years going back to 2014. Since we began listening around 2010, John has been a regular voice in our lives. He changed us to think more critically, question the mainstream media, and approach the world with a healthy dose of skepticism and humor. When Adam and John came down on opposite sides of the an issue, those discussions often sparked more spirited debate between us as well. Overall, we're just better grounded in reality. Our hearts go out to Mimi, the family, and everyone close to John. We hope that in days ahead there is some comfort in knowing just how many people he touched and lives he influenced.

[Adam Curry]

And 350 words.

[Darren O'Neill]

And 350 words. I actually don't know if I can see this whole thing, Adam. It's too big for the spreadsheet.

[Adam Curry]

It's blowing out the spreadsheet. I'll do it. No problem. Dear Adam, thank you for taking the time to read my note on Thursday show he's coming back. It's 350 93. I was still in a state of shock when I wrote it, so it was very brief. After hearing so many wonderful notes in episode 1888, I wanted to take another shot at it. I first started listening to no Agenda back in the COVID days. I was confused and frustrated by our response to the virus as it didn't make any sense to me and hearing your takes on Rogan convinced me to give the show a listen. I finally fell in love with no Agenda. The format of the show, the way the news was deconstructed, the fun jingles, the whole presentation was amazing and I've been a loyal listener since. But I must admit, while I came for Adam Curry, I stayed for John T. Dvorak. I didn't know about his full career before I started listening, but I loved his deep knowledge of tech and politics. His snarky comments always made me laugh, and his fun stories, experiences and insights were always great to hear. In fact, the font of this email is Georgia one that John recommended every episode. I look forward to whatever smartass comment John would have chambered, knowing it would make me smile. Thank you so much Adam for introducing him to me. Whenever I hear some news model or talk show guest talk about how horrible it would be in the US if the US didn't fund some BS program, I'll hear John sarcastically screaming oh no. In the background. Whenever I hear some tech CEO claiming that their new product will change the human race forever, I'll think of John saying I'm smelling ketamine. I'll be thinking of John when I watch Sumo, wondering if he would be happy that Aokinishi Key has regained his Ozeki title. I think he would be. My family and I moved to Osaka, Japan about a year and a half ago. Disconnecting from the US Corporate media and social media in general has shrunk my immune system amygdala to the perfect size. Listening to no Agenda regularly would get me the real news coming out of the States, so I hope that the media deconstruction continues in some form. I can't think of anyone who does it better than you. I will be supporting you the entire way. My deepest condolences to you, the Dvorak family, and everyone affected by his loss. Thank you for the years of insights and laughter, John. I wish it could have been more Augusto Andreoli $350 ITM Adam, Mimi everyone. My heartfelt condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. Come on jcd, this was not the exit strategy we wanted. Adam, your opening monologue brought me to tears. Feels like I lost a grandfather. In the past two years you guys have become part of my life. With weekly news and silly humor. This donation of 33333 plus fees makes me a knight. Sir Britalian no request, only the prayers jingle for us all. Long live live John C. Dvorak. Adam, your turn to call Bull crap on the M5M and he finishes with thank you for your courage and I have the the prayers jingle for you. Here we go.

[J.C.]

You've got prayers.

[Adam Curry]

Russian Card Trick Guy 35093 hey Arabin everyone. My sincerest condolences for the heavy loss of an incredible man. Your show and John were an amazing and calming influence throughout my life. The stories, the easygoing attitude of this has happened before made the world feel understandable. My wife, who occasionally listens, loved John's stories, reactions and quips to the point where she was questioning whether she is truly a cranky old man on the inside. It was a pleasure to meet John at the Seattle meetup in August 2018. On the next show 1059 he referred to me as the Russian car driver Trick guy which was hilarious. I will say it was hard to impress him even with my best close up material, but that was expected for someone such with such incredible Life experience as JCD doning 333.33 magic number plus fees and would love to be deduced

[John C. Dvorak]

you've been de douched.

[Adam Curry]

And then he asked for also a baby delivery karma which we have some baby karma for you here.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've got.

[Adam Curry]

Karma as my wife and I are having our second in November prayers for all. Love and light. The Russian Card Trick Guy Sir Lavish The Red Concord, CA 35058 we know that's 333 plus fees now for some reason it's different for everybody. Thank you Adam. Maybe Mimi Family I sent in one clip about the wine clip attached Pinot Grigio. There are many others who sent in good clips over the years and I love them. John is a Bay Area legend, insanely grateful to Noam and his family. Sir Lavish the red and that clip will be passed on to Darren and Larry for future shows. Sir Lawrence of dystopia Oakland California 350 ITM Adam, Mimi and the Dvorak Family and Andrew Horowitz. My deepest condolences to you at this time of sorrow. I found out about John's passing through a LinkedIn post by Linda Lou, Duchess of jobs and writer of winning resumes. I was crestfallen as I missed the last two Get John of the House meetups due to obligations. I'm grateful I was able to attend the first GJ OOTH as well as his 73rd birthday at Pizzeria Violeta last year. I hope he was able to enjoy the Johnnie Walker Blue in its entirety. Oh, I'm sure he did and he didn't share it with me. I'm also grateful to have had the opportunity to hoist a few drinks with him and the know Agenda Nation that attended the Northern Silicon Valley meetups. I will definitely attend the next meetup at Pizzeria Violetta come hell, high water or broken elevators. Lastly, what truly impressed me about John, in addition to his vast body of work and natural talent, was his family that he and Mimi have raised. You guys are like the von Trapp family singers. There's a callback. I know that with the talent of the Dvorak family and Adam, the no Agenda podcast will carry on and he wants some Mac and cheese slaves and ants. Love and Light Sir Lawrence of Dystopia Baron of Maxwell Park Kilo Oscar Six Echo Juliet Echo Eric Renaud from Sutton, Massachusetts 343.75Godspeed John. He says you will be missed. The dalton family lockwood, MO343.75 John was a one of a kind. He will be deeply missed. Our thoughts go out to his family. Regards from the Dalton Walton Family, Chris and Leslie of Fluffy Bottoms farm in Driftwood, Texas 34375 we read the news and it hit us like a ton of bricks. Episode 1888 was a tough listen Adam. Your opening made us cry. The stories and clips were just what we needed in this sad tough time. Others have said this, but it's crazy how John impacted all of us and we would weep and feel such a huge loss for someone that we we had never met. We are sending love and prayers to Mimi, the family, Adam and Tina and the whole no Agenda Nation. We will miss JCD but feel so blessed and lucky to have decades of great memories through his writing and podcast. Love from Chris and Leslie of Fluffy Bottoms farm in Driftwood, Texas. Grant Schuler in Cincinnati, Ohio 34375 I'm so glad I was hit in the mouth with this podcast and have learned a ton while listening over the past six years. Thank you jcd. You to Master Man Dog and I'll read this one from Sean C. Ryan of Volente, Texas. Another war in peace, but it's good as a proud no Agenda producer and family show producer and family member Coming up on a year I've been struggling with much grief since learning of John C. Dvorak's passing earlier this week. God, I miss him. His reason? Wisdom, biting wit, dry acerbic humor, experienced hardened insights, consistent grousing, unbridled skepticism and curmudgeonly demeanor. All those prickly idiosyncrasies, he gracefully filled the role of a sensible contrarian, a true grouchy gentleman and scholar. My sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers are with Dvorak and Curry families and with the broader Noah gender Producer community. I consider all of you my first responders. I shackle myself to every show and wait each week with bated breath for the next episodes. JCD and Adam formed a duo unmatched in the mainstream media. Their quibbling banter and jocularity is deliciously entertaining while delivering thought provoking MSM deconstruction. This is why the no Agenda show is the greatest podcast in the universe. Let's keep it going. The news of JCD's passing was communicated to me by my 25 year old gen Z son, my only child, via text on Tuesday. My first thought, really my hope, was that it might be some gambit and atomism cooked up by JCD to boost donations. I so deeply wish that was true. I called my son later that day to talk about what this loss meant to both of us. He told me that he had recently begun listening to every no Agenda episode from the very first one, simply because he wanted to be entertained and enlightened by the full breadth of the no Agenda show podcast. In all the varied and sundry episodes, I'm truly proud of this fine young lad. At the risk of arousing JCD's legendary buzz killing grousing, I'll add two brief personal notes. First, after hearing him and Adam question why Texas preferred Texans preferred Keb Paxton over John Cornyn, I emailed John with Boots on the Ground insight explaining why most sensible Texans found Cornyn a proven rhino and were willing to accept Paxton's baggage. What politician doesn't have some? They shift. Excuse me? They shifted their stance in the next show. Maybe I played a small part, maybe not. Either way, it felt like a contribution. Second, I recently sent JCD a LinkedIn request. Half expecting no reply from someone of his stature, he accepted on July 16, 2026, only 10 days before the news that now compounds my profound sadness. I had hoped and planned to meet JCD in person one day. I guess we'll have to wait until I'm on the other side of the pearly gates with him. I was already blessed to meet Adam and his lovely keeper Tina at a Noah Dinner meetup in Fredericksburg last April. Rest In Peace John C. Dvorak JCD I see an M Dash there. Suspicious legendary buzzkill A good sir once an F Cancer with much love and admiration ITM from the Gitmo Nation and beyond. Sean C. Ryan of Valente and I got the F Cancer for. You've got Carmel JC you want to take over?

Thomas Schaefer unknown location 333 and 80 cents thanks for all the times you literally made me laugh out loud, not to mention think more critically.

Rest in peace John Viscount Dame G Money 33333 cents I feel like I feel like I've lost my cranky grandpa.

I cannot properly put into words how much Adam and John, through no agenda, have made a positive impact on my life. I discovered no agenda during COVID and it played a massive role in helping me maintain my sanity while living in Canada, where the government went nuts. More so than usual. They have been. They have been my number one listen ever since. The loss of John is certainly painful. I'll miss hearing him twice a week. His wit and insight into world affairs complemented Adam so well. I pray that Mimi and family will find some measure of comfort during this time of loss. Thank you for all that you do to help the show.

[Adam Curry]

Are you able to read this?

[J.C.]

I can read this one. It's a nice long one. Dame Pluma of beautiful Wailea, Hawaii 333.33 to my no judge agenda. Ohana. When work keeps me from listening live to my bi weekly media deconstruction from the best podcast in the universe, I save the entire show for a long walk by the sea. It is tempting to cheat and start late at night, but no agenda is best consumed from beginning to end, in my personal opinion. So on the first Thursday of the week, I woke up ready for my wisdom fix from the voices of my favorite duo. Fanny pack secured. I opened Fountain because non legacy podcast providers are superior and pulled up Show1800. The title was jarring. That seems a little dark, even for John, I thought. Then I saw the artwork, the candle, the empty table, the illuminated microphone, the dates. No, no, no. I crumpled to the floor and stared for an ungodly amount of time, waiting for my brain to catch up. Like many, I hoped it was some macabre trick. Eventually, I mustered the courage to hit play. The tone had shifted. Something someone was missing. The tears poured out of me. I picked myself up and walked into the sunlight as the voices, stories, jingles and memories continued so to die. The sky looked brighter, the ocean looked deeper. The world felt quieter. John, I could fill pages with what you taught me, how hard you made me laugh and how much I. How much. How much better I am because of the years spent listening to you. Instead, I offer your soaring spirit, your tremendous family, Adam and Olive. Gitmo Nation. The Hawaiian Prayer of Hooponoponopono. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. The only downer is that I will never hear you suffer through the Hawaiian pronunciation, which is identical to Spanish. And frankly, we're terrible at it. Adam has an excuse, but John, you're from California. In parting, I want you to know from the bottom of my heart, this is hurting the show. Yours in past, present and future. Dame Pluma, Protectorate of the feathered whales, Ph.D. wailea, Maui, Hawaii.

[Adam Curry]

Hey, J.C. i really. I really want to fix your audio because it's just bugging the crap out of me.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh, no.

[J.C.]

What's going on wrong now?

[Adam Curry]

Well, it was so good before, but now you have like, no level and it sounds really indirect. Are you on the right mic? You're sure you're on the Right. One.

[J.C.]

Let me. I'm moving it around, seeing if I just need to reposition it. How's that?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Can you turn it up a little bit?

[J.C.]

Yeah, let me try that.

[Adam Curry]

Inclusion gain, man.

[J.C.]

How's that?

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. And I hear like a fan still somewhere.

[J.C.]

There's no fan now, but I could

[Mimi Dvorak]

rock the chair some more with my helmet.

[Adam Curry]

That would help. That's better, J.C. that's better.

[J.C.]

All right. It's better.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah. Even a little more would be good for me.

[J.C.]

This.

[Adam Curry]

More, more, more, more, more.

[J.C.]

I want more. Let me see what I got in the back of this thing. No, this. This one kind of sucks. I'm gonna get one of the microphones from the. From the archives.

[Adam Curry]

Okay.

[J.C.]

And swap it out for next show.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, good.

[Darren O'Neill]

All right, well, let me. Let me continue while you fix that.

[Adam Curry]

Cory Baker, Fort Myers, Florida, and J.C. mu not on. So I don't have the background noise.

[Darren O'Neill]

[Adam Curry]

Thank you. All right. Go Bren.

[Mimi Dvorak]

[Adam Curry]

I am bossy.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hey.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, my God.

[Darren O'Neill]

It's like he thinks he's in charge.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Really?

[Darren O'Neill]

I'm.

[Adam Curry]

What a douchebag. What a douchebag.

[J.C.]

Adam. AV guy.

[Adam Curry]

We're not AV People actually listen to these things all the way through. So I want them to have the best experiences of I can give him.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Okay. Okay.

[Darren O'Neill]

Corey Baker from Fort Myers, Florida with $333.33. I've been in a melancholy days since hearing of John's passing. This show has been an anchor in my life since 2012, and for that I am eternally grateful. Adam and John have given me through gotten me through some of the hardest times of my life. I rebuilt our home after a hurricane. Ian, with your voices in my ears. I lost my father a year ago and no Agenda was there with me for the road trip back to our hometown. My heart goes out to the Dvorak and Curry families and to the rest of no Agenda nation. RIP jcd. Godspeed, Commodore Corey Jean Pierre Codzgil from Sao Paulo, Spain. No, it's Brazil. I just don't know any of the states in Brazil in the morning. Please de douche me as this is just my second donation since I found out the best podcast in the universe through your appearance on the Tom woods Show back in 2020 during the COVID craziness.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched.

[Darren O'Neill]

Sending condolences to you, Mimi, and the no Agenda family on the loss of John. Thank you both for everything over the years. Long live the show.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[Darren O'Neill]

Sir John of South London from London, which is in London in Great Britain with $333.33 Dear Adam, Mimi and the Dvorak Clan, I first came across Jon on the site, which aired on MSNBC in the mid-90s. I've kept track of his various pieces of work spanning PC mag, cranky geeks, twit, and of course, no agenda. 30 years is a long time when I look back. I've changed house many a time and even changed national. When I received last week's newsletter informing us of JCD's untimely passing away, I thought it was his latest and puppies ruse. Sadly, as I continued reading the email, it was no joke. It feels like a part of my life has gone away, but I've got the memories to keep JCD alive. I will fondly remember JCD's visit to the LUN to London in 2017. I've attached a photo to share with you and the Dvorak family to boot. Here's one of you when you were here in London in 2018.

[Adam Curry]

Oh goodness, yes. Oh my goodness.

[Darren O'Neill]

In terms of jingles, one of our favorites is the JCD Ghost. Spooky theme RIP jcd, you are one of a kind. A real cranky but absolutely endearing gink with the deepest condolences. Regards, Sir John of South London. Sir Fast Eddie with no location from 300 with $333.33 Alameda. Does he say from Alameda?

[Mimi Dvorak]

Where? Right there in Baronet of Alameda.

[Darren O'Neill]

Oh wow. Oh Baronet of Alameda. The Islands. JC RIP jcd, thank you for all you've given me over the past six years. I will deeply miss our meetup conversations about numerology and that kids can't read tape measures. The lens you've given me will be a tool I use for the rest of my life. I will miss you at least twice a week in every time I eat nuts on an airplane. I used to carry bags of nuts when I traveled just in case I sat down next to JCD on a plane. I will pray that we finish our conversation about banning peanuts on airplanes when we meet again. Upstairs, a final favor from the nation. I want to create a giant photo collage for the Oakland meetup on the 14th of August 15th of August at Pizzeria Violetta. And I'd like anyone with photos of John, including themselves if that's what they have to send me jpegs or PDFs to me at fastdaddypeedproeastbay.com and I'll be there to that.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Actually, all of the family will be there. And also I went to school in it. I went to high school in Alameda. I know the island of boobs really well because mine used to be there.

[Darren O'Neill]

Well, thank you, Edward Owens, Sir Fast Eddie Ben, Baronet of Alameda, the island of boobs. Sir Cristobal from Dallas, Texas. $333.33. Confession. During times of low donations, John never hesitated to call producers out on it. Each time my eyes would roll and I'd think to myself, here comes JCD whining. What I would give to hear his belly aching again. RIP JCD Sir Cristobal. Michael Rulin, Austin, Texas. $333.33. Sorry, JCD please share some f Cancer karma with the no Agenda nation.

[Mimi Dvorak]

You've got karma.

[Darren O'Neill]

Eddie Sanders from El Bear, Colorado. $333.33. I know this letter will find you well, only Bakelites where you are now. You have been pissing me off since the back pages of PC World. Then years later, I found you joyously killing the buzz twice a week. Expertly done. Rest knowing you will never have to de douche another. Adam, I am so sorry you are left with a burden, but it is time to de douche high test.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched.

[Darren O'Neill]

Also, Adam, you will need to continue to investigate and report on the oral contents of the others.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, more.

[John C. Dvorak]

Right?

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah. What's in your mouth?

[Darren O'Neill]

Four more years.

[Adam Curry]

What is that?

[Darren O'Neill]

Yak karma, please.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yak karma. Hold on a second. Where's my yak? Here we go.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've got

[Mimi Dvorak]

karma.

[Darren O'Neill]

Okay. And then this one. Too big. I'm so sorry.

[John C. Dvorak]

No, it's.

[Adam Curry]

I got it. It's from the Duke of the South. Sir Patrick Coble. Happy to read it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Okay.

[Adam Curry]

How do you get into the Dvorak clan? And Adam, you know, Patrick Coble's been such a staple of the show and the meetups in particular, everywhere around the world. I wanted to make sure I sent one last note because John always knew people are behind on the newsletters and spam Monster Eats emails. So you have to stretch the promos out a bit. Y' all did an amazing job with the show. 1888. Who would be proud of all you did to team up and get through everything? And he would have a grin a couple of times. And he would have had a grin a couple of times with all the good things being said about him. No agenda and their favorite job moments. I talked to many people after and everyone said it was like we were all at a celebration of life together with a family and feeling like we were part of that family too. But when Raven came out of Club 33, I knew it was going to be a great show along with some of the celebrity appearances too. Yes, we had billions of millionaires and paupers. It was great. After that show, I thought about a saying that Adam and I have heard a lot in our church circles that was brought out on the show a couple times after Adam came back to the church. There are no coincidences in the kingdom. After hearing the last show, I couldn't agree with it anymore. We are all here at this moment because of a huge series of events in our own journeys in our lives. Some roads were longer and wind windier and the number of bumps varied too. But we are here now. The tech that came out over the years that John criticized but also loved is a major part of what no Agenda Nation is here. Podcasting can be attributed to the Podfather himself, Adam Curry. Not to be confused with Adam Carolla, a radio and music nerd who was on the Internet the same time John was, but going after other dreams with websites until he asked Dave Weiner to modify RSS architecture so large audio files could could attach to web feeds. And with the help of some other nerds, we now have podcasting. Adam didn't stop there. He kept going decentralizing to protect it from censorship. Who would have thought a pirate radio kid turned nerd would help come up with podcasting, the exact medium that he would meet his best friend turned brother, John C. Dvorak. The same technology that John reviewed over the years was used to record and stream all those shows all over the world. John and Adam are true podcasting stars superheroes for the whole world. Things happen exactly like they were supposed to make no Agenda Nation happen. There are no coincidences in the Kingdom. I'm thankful Adam's work with Curry and the Keeper and with Pastor Jimmy on we get to do this and his work to build the Godcaster app is bringing more people to the church. I'd be forever thankful to John and Adam for all these things that led to those three podcasts because they brought me back to the church and changed my life. I will never be able to say thank you enough to both of them for helping me nerd out to become a dude named Ben, learn the things and get back to the church. For myself and my family. I love you all. Thank you to everyone in the no Agenda Nation who made it what it is and will always be getting knighted in Nashville on the hot Pockets tour with Sir Jeff Smith and Adam is the moment I knew no Agenda was way more than just a podcast. Lastly, sorry John again two long notes in a row. Psalm 34:18 the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Thank you Sir Patrick Bill Defy From San Francisco, CA 33333 Listeners since episode one please accept this de douching Ketchup donation.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched.

[Adam Curry]

Thank you John for all the years of wit and wisdom. You'll forever be remembered and missed. Condolences to the family itm forever. Anonymous from Neosho, WI 3333 Dear Adam and Mimi, According to my accounting status a couple of months ago and did not realize it, this donation brings me halfway to Baronet. I'm sending you all my deepest, most sincere condolences for the sudden loss of jcd. My no Agenda journey began after watching Adam on JRE during the COVID Madness. I listened to one episode of no Agenda and I was hooked. I'm thankful for the never ending well of stories and wisdom that John shared week after week. John was one of a kind and even though I never met him, I'm going to miss him dearly. Adam, your journey to the Lord had a profound impact on my life. Like John, I was also a lapse Catholic. This past Lent I returned to the church and now attend Mass every week. I'm also preparing to receive the Holy Sacrament of Confirmation next year. Thank you Adam. Thank you John M. Dash.

[John C. Dvorak]

Again.

[Adam Curry]

You also played a role in my return to the Lord when you mentioned we get to do this podcast on Show 1834, albeit revolved around an argument between Adam and John about recycling content. Oh no. Mommy and Daddy, we are fighting again. Love and light Adam, Mimi and the JCD family. You are all in my prayers. P.S. i don't think I ever received a proper deduching so please de douche me as done moments ago. Please. Night near Sir Ali of the effervescent quality asking for the prayers jingle and some Costco wine for the roundtable. It cuts off on mine. Is there anything else besides the Costco wine on the round table? Is that it? I think we're good. Here we go. You've got prayers and there's Sir Johnny B. Goode. I haven't heard from him In a while. 333.33. Ah, I know who he is. Adam, Mimi and company. We continue. Of course I know who Sir Johnny B. Goode is. We continue to feel great sadness about JCD's passing. We are sorry for the gaping hole in your lives and are praying God's peace which passes all understanding for all y'.

[Darren O'Neill]

All.

[Adam Curry]

While I contributed to the last show, this additional donation is meant to affirm all JCD's contributions to our lives these past years as well, and to encourage you in the days ahead. For now, add another Executive Producer title for me. Thank you for your courage. May you stay strong and one wavering, unwavering Sir Johnny B. Goode Enough of the Rockies AKA one of the Focus Guys thank you John Sir Eric is naked Seattle, WA 03:33 33 in the morning ou I had the pleasure of meeting fellow producers at the Snoqualumne Valley Dvorak Remember meetup in North Bend, Washington Saturday afternoon. We were caught up in sharing our stories, how we found no Agenda, and honoring John with our favorite quotes and sayings. We neglected to record a report. We would never have met if not for the no Agenda community. Semper Fi no Agenda Family Sir Eric is Naked Baron Sir Goodfellow Orlando, FL 33333 Holy crap is all I could say after Wednesday the Newsletter Adam, Mimi and family, I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. Listening to 1888 has helped me formulate a small way how I can say thank you for being there in during the millions of pounds lifted, the thousands of miles run, the dozens of countries visited, Multiple houses renovated, three kids reared, and thankfully only one wife listening since 2009. Coming from twit and leaving when John did, I can say this is the only podcast I have listened to every week for more than 33% of my life. It's formed me, it's formed my thought and actions and saved my mind more times than I can count. The interview John did with Bob Hile all those years ago was of tremendous value to me and gave me a glimpse of where the industry I work in, touring and events came from. I've always remembered that and thought of it fondly. I look forward to the next chapter as John's legacy lives on. And so my wife can ask, what did the no Agenda folk have to say about that whatever thing she saw online? This note is too long already, but making shorter didn't seem possible. No jingles, no karma. Baron Sir Goodfellow Adam Harper Savannah, GA 33333 John and Adam, thank you for the countless hours of entertainment that you have provided as well as the much needed sanity you gave gave us during those Covid years. Not sure we would have survived without you. John was one of a Kind and will be greatly missed.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I got the next. Okay, I'll get the next one. With Manuka Gold from the Manuka Gold family to the entire no agenda team. All weekend we've been talking with our no Agenda customers who are feeling this great loss of John. And we agree. Thursday's show is so inspiring and positive. Thank you for all the. You do. John finally got around to trying the Manuka gold and he loved it. He was like, oh, this is actually really good. So I had to throw that in. So let me. I'll get. I've been really quiet, so let me get a few. Sir Chris of the Harp Husbands, Streamwood, IL 33333. Dear Adam and Mimi, I just learned this morning of John's passing. I've been out of the news since. I'm caring for my 80 old mother. She beat John by eight years. I have no words. I haven't even finished Sunday's show yet. Most sincerely, with the deepest condolences, Chris Keller.

Yorkville, Illinois Sir Dame Dog sir and Dame donkey puncher here. We really miss John. Our condolences to the Dvoraks, Adam and Andrew. Since John can't complain rain we can. Yeah, yeah. I will squeak. John's chair gently squeaks. Yeah, well, it doesn't gently squeak. I've been hearing from yes, everybody.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yes, yes.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I would have oiled it, but.

[Adam Curry]

No, no, no. You can't do that.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I'm gonna pour out some Kirkland Bordeaux for my homie. Rest in peace, John. Sir Euchre Matthews, North Carolina. Rest in peace. Jcd. Thank you for your courage and amazing sense of humor. Your light will be missed by us all. God's peace upon the Dvorak and Curry families. We love you all. Sir Euchre, Knight of the Sandy Ridge requesting the short I got ants and give it up for Raven Jingles.

[Adam Curry]

All will be all will be at the very end. I'm going to edit all of that in later.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Okay, I have the list actually. Sir Kevin of Devon, Gig Harbor, Washington Ah, Gig Harbor. One of my favorite places. My journey with no Agenda started with the very first episode. I was hooked and stayed for the whole amazing adventure. Like many have said, I knew John from his columns in PC Magazine and Adam from Headbangers Ball. At least I thought I knew them from the start. No Agenda felt like close friends talking and I got a chance to be part of the group. I learned the lingo and my life was forever changed for the better. I became a better son, a better husband, a better father, a better friend. Some of my most treasured items are no gender related I carry challenge coin number 293. I was welcomed into knighthood, became a Commodore have way too many Dvorak books. He was wrong about OS2. Yeah, no kidding. In In Dvorak predicts in 1995 YouTube channel real boring flips. My exit strategy is littered with no Agenda John Isms and ITM comments. I get to bring great joy. I cherish my emails with John. He thoughtfully explained why my idea to give an honorary knighthood to Larry King was not good for the show. He convinced me that he really did put that IBM PS2 computer back together again.

[Adam Curry]

We don't believe Nobody believes that. Nobody believes he put that back together.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh yeah, probably not. It's been an emotional week, but I can lean on the words of Paul in Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those. Rejoice with those. Rejoice. Mourn with those who mourn. I promise I will continue to do both for Adam and Andrew, Mimi and the rest of the Dvorak family, and all of the no Agenda and DH Unplugged Nation. Rest easy, John Sir Kevin of Devon,

[Darren O'Neill]

Gig Harbor, Washington Sean Smith of Ashland City, Tennessee with $333 I've been listing since besieging for show number one way back to the DSC days. In this almost 20 years, I've been divorced, remarried, lost both of my parents, fuck cancer and three legit career changes, one thing has stayed the same. Every week, twice a week, I heard Adam and John's voice. I may have missed a show occasionally, but I never stopped listening. Thank you for all these years of keeping me informed, curious, and always smiling. And when I heard the first notes of on the Seventh Day, it was a little bittersweet. On that note at the very end of the song, the piano plays its final F major chord and then plays a very soft last note, the note A which is both the third and that chord. And the third note in the scale 33. You had us under mind control this whole time.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yes.

[Adam Curry]

This is is the first person to ever notice that.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wow.

[Adam Curry]

Wow.

[Darren O'Neill]

Incredible years.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wow. Love y'.

[Mimi Dvorak]

All.

[Darren O'Neill]

Sean Longtime listener and donor Colin McCarthy with 333. No location listed listening to episode 188 I found I was not alone in my grief for a man I'd never met, yet felt so connected to. And while listening to Mimi talk about the night he passed, I started to tear up. I've been listening to no agenda since 2008. After John's many twit appearances, John and Adam opened a whole new way of thinking to a 24 year old me who was just trying to figure out what the hell I was doing. I will forever be indebted to JCD and Adam ACC. But I haven't been a douchebag. I've been a five dollar a month producer since 20 and I decided to do some accounting as I listened to Thursday's episode with the monthly donations and two others. One of $12.34 for the last 18 years. I'm sitting at $667. $333 left to knighthood. What is a sign? Then I got out of my car to pay for my lunch. The total was $12.34. That settled it. So with this I want to become sir load neighbor of Loud neighbor Night of the Lois Hills pronounced Lush Hills Los Hills. Can I get Climate gate Amen fist bump jingles and f cancer Karma for everyone who has fought it or lost someone to it. Thank you for your courage John AD and Mimi and the Dvorak clan. P.S. mimi, I'm excited for the downstairs stereo pictures and I hope you can convince the funeral home to really these ants in his honor.

[Mimi Dvorak]

So. So Colin, I actually remember seeing all of your your checks that came through because I always look at him and I went ah, I know the name. So yes, we will take. We will take pictures. I don't know how fast I'll be. Nag me. Please nag me. I'm really good at that.

[Adam Curry]

Let me give him the f cancer here.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've got karma.

[Darren O'Neill]

Well we got Commodore Sir Matt Wheeler's Hill of Victoria, Australia. Commodore Sir Matt in Melbourne, Viscount of Victoria on the tragic passing of the Seer Prognosticator, Analysis and legend John C. Dvorak, a producer since the 40s, mid 2008 I think an episode since 199 I have not missed a show in 18 years. It's strange that someone I've never met and only communicated with through email could have such an impact on my life and has now left a hole. No Agenda Hit me in the mouth with the way you both think about the world and how to make sense of the information that is supplied to us. Neither of my Thursdays this week will ever be the same without his voice, but I am forever grateful for his presence in my life. My love to all the Dvorak and Curry families, to all of my no Agenda family members in mourning. The community he helped build will keep his spirit alive for a long time. With love, Matt Dylan Thighs of Valley, Nebraska My older brother Troy got me into the show eight years ago. I tried to never miss an episode. I will miss John. With this donation I will reach knighthood. I wish John could have knighted me. RIP love the no Agenda Nation. Michael Miller with $304.15 we're out of the 33 3. I feel like I've been on a ride for over 18 years that I never wanted to end. Although the ride may change, I hope it continues. My deepest condolences to the Dvorak, Curry and Horowitz families and to the entire Noah Jenna Nation. 288 plus $88 in fees. Ashley Slater Elk River, Minnesota yes in the morning Adam, friends, family and all producers and douchebags. This is a $303.57cent donation. As I listen to the Thursday show, I choke up and smile and laugh at the notes and memory shared. What a beautiful tribute to John's spectacular life. We will be missed. John. You will be Ms. John. I had more to say, but the words aren't wording. I'm sure John would prefer it that way. Ashley Slater Ashley thank you Matt from Arkansas with $300. Sorry to hear that John is now a silent key. Condolences and prayers for Mimi, Adam and the rest of the Dvorak family. John will be missed. 73 Matt 73s Victor from West Hills, California with a $300 donation. We wanted to send our deepest condolences on John's passing. My wife and I have been listening to John and Adam for well over a decade and their conversations have genuinely shaped the way we think about the world. John's curiosity, wisdom and perspective had a lasting impact on us even from afar. When we heard the news, we could fall asleep that we couldn't fall asleep that night. It was difficult to process. Though we never had the privilege of knowing John personally, it truly felt like we had lost someone whose voice had been a meaningful part of our lives for many years. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. We're keeping you, your family, and everyone who loved him in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Karma to the Dvorak family and Adam.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Hey, J.C. did you get a new mic? Mic working.

[J.C.]

Does this sound better?

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yes.

[J.C.]

All right.

[Adam Curry]

Turn you down.

[Mimi Dvorak]

I'm deaf now.

[Adam Curry]

Out of control, man. You're out of control. All right.

[J.C.]

We just did. Just did, Matt.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, I think so. All right.

[J.C.]

Victor, West Hills, California, which I believe has. Anyway, okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

300.

[J.C.]

We wanted. Can you still hear me?

[Adam Curry]

Yes, it was.

[Darren O'Neill]

It was Matt's turn, actually.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, it's Matt's turn.

[Darren O'Neill]

It's my turn.

[J.C.]

Yeah, Matt. Which Matt? We got. We got a couple Matt.

[Adam Curry]

Who's Matt?

[J.C.]

Wait, what.

[Adam Curry]

What are we doing?

[J.C.]

We're just.

[Darren O'Neill]

It was Matthew.

[Adam Curry]

It's.

[J.C.]

Oh, Matthew Nicole.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, Matthew Nicole.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh, little, little Compton.

[J.C.]

Little. Little seaside comp. Compton. What is that, Rhode Island? Where is that? Anyway? $300. I've been a knight for a decade. The roundtable won't be the same without jcd. But it must go on. Looking forward to whatever comes next to keep the roundtable together. Rest in peace, jcd TY FYAC Tomonomas in Amos, Pennsylvania Dear no Agenda family, Tomonomas here. So sorry for the loss of one of the greats. I've been listening to no agenda since show 996. I never had the chance to meet John, to shake his hand, and certainly never had a dinner with him. But it's amazing how someone you never met could literally feel like a good friend. That's a testament to how unique, true and unapologetically real JCD was. I found out about his passing from a fellow producer, Greg the Welder. He called me to tell me the news because he thought it would be better if it came from a friend than just seeing it on my phone. Later that night. John wasn't just some podcaster. He was a friend to me and millions of others in gitmonation, he brought great humor, unmatched insight, and bottomless value to all of us. Now he's partaking in the great sock hop in the sky. Think of the Dvorak and Curry families. And for some reason, I can't stop thinking about that time John had an encounter with a public pooper.

[Adam Curry]

Played that, played it, played it.

You leave us with heavy hearts and wonderful memories. ITM Bro Sir Tiggermax Nate Thurman 288.88 please accept this 288.88 donation in honor of JCD. No note in honor of John, but I do request a spooky jcd. Donate and new slaves can eat Mac and cheese. Sending prayers and love Nate Thurman at Frodo the letter in boots on x Sir Dalton Fisher 28888 ITM getmonation it's hard to say how much John meant to me. Truly, my perspective on technology, business, politics, media and so much more was shaped by JCD. I'm 29 years old now. I started listening when I was still in high school. I did some math and that means in total, I have spent a total of about 1.4% of my entire life with John and Ashley him in my ears. To say John made an impact on me is understatement. Thank you for your prayers, Buzzkill. You and the whole Dvorak clan will be in my prayers.

Let me take a look.

[Adam Curry]

I do not I do not have his email unfortunately. Sorry.

[J.C.]

The Anne of Green Gables author lived there anyway. Sir Preston, Santa Rosa, Rosa, CA 288. 88 words cannot express what I feel, but I have to blast some out anyway. I've been a 12 12amonth donor since early 2012. I remember watching JCD on Tech TV in college. I discovered no agenda via twit barf emoji jcd a snarky take on the bull crap that was covered was why I kept turning in tuning in. Luckily his plugs for the no Agenda show led me to the light. Also, props to Adam for whipping out his piece on the air.

[Adam Curry]

That's what got me fired from every being on Twit. Again.

[J.C.]

You have kept me sane and questioning the M5M crap through so much. This donation pushes me across the line to Baron. I claim the title of Sir Preston Baron of the Driftless. I'm lucky enough to have had the pleasure to meet Buzzkill at one of the Sonoma County Wino meetups. Anyone that had not had the opportunity but wanted to can rest assured JCD was one of those people you meet in real life and they are exactly who you expected them to be. The fucking champion. Chapeau JCD. I'm pouring one out for Da Real Dvorak. Preston Yermore 28888 hello Adam, Mimi J and the Dvorak family. In this time of grief, I want to share an unusual story about the effect John had on one life. I stumbled across a PC mag issue in 2003 when I was 18. I started reading and got captivated by John's column. He wrote about technology in a way nobody else did with his unique combination of wit, depth and opinionated independence. From that moment on, I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I followed his career for 23 years and was always enlightened by the way he took everything in a way that wasn't totally serious but well thought of. His takes on things were always original and thought provoking and his sense of humor was endearing even when I didn't get the jokes. I consider John the most influential person in my life after my parents. I will miss him dearly, Mimi and the family. We will all cherish his memory. His mark on the world will on last. I'll outlast us all. All of us do.

[Mimi Dvorak]

We did we find a note?

[Darren O'Neill]

Let me take over for a second JC because I found the note from Craig Clifford that we just missed.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yay.

[Adam Curry]

Let's do it.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah. Craig Clifford Night of the rolling hills of Uxbridge, Ontario here. My sincere condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. JCD touched many through his journey on this earth. I'm sure he will be an inspiration up above. Mimi, my wife just recently borrowed too many eggs from our daughters in law. My keeper Kathy loves the book. Fridge is full of Swiss deviled eggs presently. The introduction in the book is funny when John pipes up and says no stop. Don't ask her about.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Ask her about eggs.

[Darren O'Neill]

Maybe you could explain more to the listeners about John's comments Get mo Nation. Listen up. Order Mimi's cookbook. It is fabulous. I just ordered our own copy. We will miss you, J.C.D. kind regards, Craig. I really love the crepe recipe in that.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Well, thank you. John would always say to people, don't get her started. Don't ask her about eggs. Please don't.

[Adam Curry]

Please. No, no, no.

[Darren O'Neill]

All right, take it away, J.C. okay,

[Mimi Dvorak]

wherever you were, J.C. all right, so

nobody of New Jersey in Parlan, New Jersey. I. 288. 80 cents. I wanted to say that Adam's speech at the beginning of 1888. With John's passing, I feel like I have lost another teacher. Adam and John have taught me more about the news than most people. I have lately been in a buzzkill mood as a group of friends as tds there's nothing more fun than using the skills I've learned from no Agenda, blasting their narratives in two seconds and watching them flip out for a bit. It's better than the Trump soap opera. My group of sanity in these times has been at New Jersey meetups and talking about. About the news, yes, but about normal everyday stuff. I do not know what form the new form the show will take, but I will ensure that the quarterly Central New Jersey meetups will continue. Anyone wants to be added to the email list, please email [e-mail] thank you everyone.

[Adam Curry]

Good to hear from you Dame Tanya. Wow.

[J.C.]

Just wow. Dame Tanya here. Countess of the no Agenda Roundtable. Saddened and shocked by our friend John C. Dvorak's passing. I've been reading his column since the 1980s. Always giggling at his snark digs, humor and what we now know as trolling. Found him later on Twit, which led me to no Agenda and I started listening from episode 34 in June 2008. I went back and listened from the start. Even during the period where even during the period where it appeared I was Dame Overboard. I listened to every single no Agenda show for my dose of JCD. And you too Adam. Shout out to cranky geeks, tech5, tech grouch and tick Hippie. Those tie dye underpants are now a collectible donation amount for the show. I was Knighted on episode 169, bumped it up to 269 for executive producer credit. Love you all and Mimi's appearance through these crisis make it clear that John had an absolutely wonderful part and soulmate in his life. In the morning Commodore Sir Kaz in Brighton, England.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah, me too.

[J.C.]

I'm saddened by John's passing, but I know he's watching over us from above, providing us with his sarcastic, hidden, insightful commentary. He shaped our thoughts and will continue to do so for eternity. To Mimi, the family and Adam, we all feel your pain. But no. John's words touch so many lives. A part of John lives on through all of us, readers, listeners, fans and family. Godspeed John. You'll be deeply missed. Ed Warner 26878 cents this donation is my JCD donation.

Prayers for the Dvoraks, curries and everyone in the no gender family jingles. I would like F35 what in the world?

Hard to believe when it hit me the 101 the 1888 artwork wasn't some morbid place play on a hypothetical nearly impossible to fathom in the moment. Adam, you and John have been a true dynamic duo. A chemistry that felt so proper and right that the pairings felt unmovable. Like a natural order of sorts which should reasonably carry on to perpetuity. It hits hard even as a listener who never met John. So I'm feeling for all who were blessed to be close. Looking forward to the great things still to come. For no agenda as John's spirit lives on through the show. David Brine 255 thank you, John and his family. Too soon. But great impact. From silicon spin to no Agenda for information and fun.

Your son's not supposed to hit. You are so very sad for all you. And also for. For all of you and all of ourselves. We will miss hearing John's incredible voice twice. Okay, Brennan, go. I can't talk.

[Darren O'Neill]

We will miss hearing John's incredible voice twice weekly. Deconstruction his sharp wit and even his occasional grousing. Very much. He opened our eyes and kept our amygdala small and for that we are forever grateful. Please accept our deepest condolences and know that so many of us are lifting you up in prayer at this very difficult, difficult time. Love and light to everyone and rest in peace, JCD. Much love, Damon Edwards from San Francisco, California with a 250 donation. So long and thanks for all the fish. Classic.

Case Honig.

[Darren O'Neill]

Case honey. Yeah, it's the G is like a. I can't do that. I can't do the. Case Honig from Amsterdam. I'm very sorry for the loss of jcd for you, his family, and frankly, also for ours. Me and my wife have been longtime listeners and weekly donors for over eight years. Never missed an episode. Your show became what watching a Seinfeld episode was before I started listening to no Agenda. A healthy dose of hilarious relativism of life. John's fearless free thinking was like taking Xanax through the years, calming a good time and strangely addictive. Living through Covid in Brooklyn, New York. You guys were a beacon of common sense while everyone around us was going crazy.

[Adam Curry]

Brooklyn especially.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wow.

[Darren O'Neill]

Yeah, I know. During trying times my thoughts was I can always listen to these guys and check out for couple of hours. I understand now that I never realized the Beacon one day would not be there anymore. I'm very grateful for all those years and also very sad. JCD's chair stopped squeaking.

[John C. Dvorak]

It's not yet squeaking.

[Darren O'Neill]

Sorry to burst your bubble. With love, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Royce Kokami with $233.99 firstly, my condolences to everyone, especially the Don Borax family. I donated last minute for the past Thursday show but didn't have time to gather my thoughts and write a note. So here's another donation of $222.22 plus fees. Total 23399 I don't remember the exact episode number when I started listing, but I know it was shortly after you guys started around it. Episode 5 It was still November 2007. It still amazes me that you guys started the show in a pre Obama era America. It was a different world back then. I stopped listening to Twit a while ago, but some of my favorite episodes were the ones with John in them. Especially if John and Jolie Odell were there both there. They played off each other well. Side note, I always thought it was a little cool and funny that my friend Chris, who I helped get into the show, is born on the same day the show started October 26th. As well as Hillary Clinton, I always. Oh no, I always like to poke fun at him that they're cousins. Anyway, thank you for all these years. Same things make us laugh.

[Adam Curry]

Let me pick up a couple. Brennan yeah, turn. Everyone's been talking Colin Fannin, Matawan, MI 233 I was saddened to hear of John's passing during Thursday's episode. As a practicing Catholic, I'll be adding John to my litany of the faithfully departed and will continue praying for him and his family. This donation takes me to knighthood. I'm grateful for everything I've learned from the podcast over the years, from thought provoking discussions to movie recommendations. But most importantly, I'm not easily rattled or enraged by the news. This has been invaluable. Thank you. As the owner of oh yes, I know Colin as the owner of Fanon Fitness, where I provide personalized fitness for people with real constraints. Oh, here we go. I'd like to honor John's memory by offering 20% off any coaching service with the promo code John C. I'll also continue to offer my Value for Value meal plans with the promo code V4V. Adam, I hope to start working with you soon. Yes, Colin, we will. If you or someone you care about isn't prioritizing their health, consider starting sooner rather than later. If consistency has been a challenge or you're not sure where to begin, I'd be happy to help schedule a free consultation and learn more at Noagenda Fit Smithers in Virginia. 2:38 Exit tragedy as to the aforementioned squeaky chair in heaven, I can see JCD right now drafting a memo to the management. Thanks and love to the Dvorak family for sharing this man with us for all the unseen work in the background. Because no way a crackpot and or buzzkill could have pulled this wonderful thing off all by themselves. Much love and low light Smithers from Virginia sir who Zed Waterford, Michigan 2229480 in the morning with prayers sir who said Baronet Matt of Northeast Ohio 22288 to the entire Dvorak family, Adam and Tina. While I never had the opportunity to make it to a meetup that John attended, I listened to him on no agenda and twit for over 20 years. It made me think of him as a close grandfather with awesome stories that I never get to experience with my own grandfathers. I hope we'll continue creating new crazy stories and we'll all get to hear hear them when we meet him once each of our time comes. May we get the JCD Hot Pockets jingle? Yes, if there isn't too much asked for an F Cancer for my wife and everyone else who was affected by this horrible disease. Baronet Matt of Northeast Ohio,

[Mimi Dvorak]

You've got karma.

Scott north full row of ducks220 I will miss John's sense of humor, life stories and keen insights, but mostly I will miss how much he reminds me of my own father who introduced me to John's work via PC Magazine in the early 90s and who passed away several years ago. Also at the age of 80. I would like to honor John with a row of ducks and ask for the OTG kind of guy jingle. Yes, it'll be at the end. Scott North Orange County, California Chaz Straney Charleston, South Carolina Row of Ducks Since John's passing, In moments of prayer I am returned to the word courage to live a life the way John lives, hewing always to intellectual honesty and questioning. Everything is truly courageous. What's more, to be full of good humor, to love, to laugh with others, and to lighten others loads through their jocularity and wit. Second time we've heard that word. To what better end can someone give their days? Thank you John for your courage. God bless you.

Fantastic product. As John would say. That is the Jeff Smith G O F F Smith in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm about halfway through 1887 and it's a beautiful listen. John had full curmudgeon locked in out of the gate, complaints about the World cup and donations, dissing on Cleo's name and having to be prodded into congratulating the birth. Also, who else in the Potto sphere could offer any amount of commentary on Swedish jowl features or molotov versus flambe cocktails? I'm astounded that only one producer of Show 1888 mentioned one of the funniest moments of the last ten years. I'm assuming someone else will send it in today, but I've attached it with this note just in case. John, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. Exit Strategy Adam Screw your Feed him. We need you now more than ever. Mimi, Truly my heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. Sincerely, Mike Juliana Lee $210.60 I am so sad sending you all my love. My chest is tight with grief but I know I'll hear his voice again when my time here is up. He's the crankiest angel in heaven. God bless. Bless JCD Frank Maloney Sister Bay, Wisconsin 21060 Adam and John talked me out of the Dave Smith Co. Israel doom spiral and for that I am forever grateful. Rest in peace John. Thank you both. Frank maloney Sister Bay, Wisconsin Samantha Best Rogers, Arizona, Arkansas yeah Arkansas 210660 cents yesterday my 15 year old son looked at me with disgusting in his eyes and ask are you finally going to donate now? So yes I am. This is long overdue and I regret that it took something of this magnitude to call me to action. My husband and I found no agenda during COVID and it legitimized all that we felt during that time. My young boys listened with us and loved all the jingles, especially Al Sharpton and Goat Karma. Adam, you and John have been with us on family vacations, long solo drives, drinking coffee on the porch, and through many other parts of our lives. I am forever grateful to have found no agenda and will sorely miss everything and learning from John, sending hugs and positive energy to his family, friends and all who loved him. Jingles. That's true. Al Sharpton the one with Sigourney Weaver Samantha Best and you get a de douching. Of course you've been de douched Matthew. John knows Nashville, Tennessee 21060 I'd like to send my condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. We'll be praying for you. Thanks to both John and Adam for the analysis and entertainment over the years. John is truly one of a kind and he will be greatly missed. Sir Clintilius of the Pacific Northwest 20888 and he wants that's not a great question. And that's true in the morning. I am truly grateful for the incredible blessing of finding John through TWIT and then being able to listen to him twice a week since since 2015. Words cannot express how I feel. Since I've learned of his passing, I felt such a kinship to a man who I've never met in person but have considered him like an uncle or a father. When my father passed in November, I still had John for weekly wisdom. Now I'm at a double loss. There were only 3 years difference in age and I think that is why I took such a liking to the way John thought. Fun fact, they are the only two men I've ever heard soy sauce referred to as bug juice. I'm a better man having had JCD be a part of my life. Buzzkill, you will be sorely missed. Rest in peace. My condolences and prayers for the Dvoraks, Adam and Andrew and all of the no Agenda family. Sir Clintillius of the Pacific Northwest and there's Sir Daniel J. Lewis from Burlington, Kentucky. Nice to hear from you. Daniel J. Lewis 20888 Dear no Agenda Family, I was saddened by our loss of John. John was among the first voices I ever heard in a podcast. When I discovered Twit in 2005, I after iTunes 4.9 stole podcasting from Adam Wink. I must confess that I think my opinion was on the wrong side of history when Leo kicked John out of twit. But when I later started listening to no Agenda, I realized how much I always appreciated John's blunt perspectives and critical thinking. Every time I would hear John read messages about Image Makers Inc. With a K, I would kick myself for not sending him my make good for a past omitted donation note. And I kept meaning to see send a new note to John to have John read, prompting my new podcasting tool, but written in the style of Linda Lupatkin's messages. Although I'm a pod speeder, I listen to episode 1888 and re listen to 1887 at one time speed to absorb every emotion. Good for you Daniel J. I also couldn't help but chuckle at numerous things John mentioned in 1887 that he would probably say were reading reasons they took him out. Wow. I'm late sending the support because I struggled over how to express what I wanted to say, but I think Romans 10:18 13 says it best. But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. That is the word of faith that we proclaim. Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. You, you will be saved. For one with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the scripture says everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on Him. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved faithfully. Sir Daniel J. Lewis Knight of Podcasts Investing 2.0 Sir David Sunder Pacific Grove, CA 20888 Adam and John, I wanted to say I'm sorry for this delayed value for value. Things have been crazy lately. My wife and I retired early exit strategy and my oldest is going away to college in Estonia. I've been meaning to donate to let you know how much your show has meant to me and my family over the past 15 years or so. So hearing of John's passing was like a gut punch. I have to say that it hurts more than the passing of anyone except close to family members. But then, John has been part of my life for so long in one way or the other that it's hard to remember when he entered my life. I have to say, it's probably been around 25 years via column shows and podcasts, and I loved every minute of it. He and Adam, through no agenda, helped to shape me into the man I am today and help my wife and I to shape our boys.

[John C. Dvorak]

Wow.

[Adam Curry]

For that, I am thankful to you. For that, I am thankful to you both and to everyone that supported you along the way, family, friends, friends and producers. I don't know what my life would be like if I hadn't had you both in it, but I wouldn't be as good or as interesting as it has been. Thank you for missing my knight years ago so that I could take on the Black Knight title. I am sorry for this long note. John, I've always kept donation note short out of respect, but I had to take this opportunity to thank you or I'd regret it forever. John and Adam, you have my gratitude and love. Mimi and the Dvorak clan and Adam and his family. You are in our prayers. Good luck. Godspeed. ITM Sir David Van Zonder, Black Knight of the Pacific Grove.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Well, actually, in the grand scheme of things, that is a short note.

I've been listening since 2020, which means I've officially been a douchebag until now. It saddens me that it took the passing of John C. Dvorak for me to finally become a producer. But his passing has hit me square in the mouth and made me realize just how much this podcast has meant to me. Please forgive me. The impact no Agenda has had on my life, my family, and the people I've shared it with is truly invaluable. It's given me peace, encouraged me to question what I'm told, and helped me realize that I don't have to live in fear because of what the media says every day. For that, I'm incredibly grateful. Rest in peace. John C. Dvorak. Thank you for everything you gave us. My 7 year old son shouts out shouts your name out randomly whenever the opportunity arises. When we're contemplating a name for his little brother, we were adamant that he should d We should name him John C. Dvorak. This show has been part of our homeschooling journey and will continue to be, even though this loss will leave a hole in our hearts. Adam Curry, I love you. I'm praying for you and I'm proud to support the show. God bless. Camil Katani.

To Adam, Mimi, and all of John's family. My heartfelt condolences to all of you. I just don't know. I just don't really know how to put things adequately in simple words. But I know John was a stickler for the short notes, so I'll try to do it right. Spoiler he did well. Anyway, like so many others, I first came across JCD on Twitter, then followed him to Cranky Geeks and then to no Agenda. Through all this time, he has been someone who not only informed and entertained me, but influenced the way I thought about the world around me. He was always a professional curmudgeon, but I always had the sense he presented himself that way with a quiet, perhaps even ironic smile. Deep down, I never had the chance to meet John in person, although I almost did one time when I visited Leo's studio many years ago to watch an episode of Twit. John was listed as a guest but unfortunately had to pull out at short notice. I would have so late love to have met him. I've been a no gender producer and donor since probably episode 70 and John has always been there each week like a long time reliable friend. I always got a kick out of receiving a reply email from him even if he didn't agree with me on whatever topic was whatever the topic was. Well, almost. Especially if he didn't. Like so many in the no Agenda family, I am heartbroken at the news of his passing. I am though grateful that it was peaceful, even more so for the legacy he leaves us all. I feel as though I've lost a friend. Adam, your tribute in episode 130 was beautiful. I was in tears. Much love and respect to you Mimi. Best wishes to you and your loved ones.

He was as authentic as they come. And that is a true, true of the show too. No agenda has led me to become a better. Led me to be a better professional and but more importantly, a better friend, brother, a better son, husband and father. Adam, I know you mentioned the show will go on in some form. Maybe there is a way to make John's voice the voice of the voice of the robot. John was the book of knowledge.

[John C. Dvorak]

Bastard.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, you got me.

[J.C.]

I started to try and think of what to write and the first thing I thought was there are too many stories and ways John has inspired, angered or supported me from a distance to try and pick just one. But then I realized John's been giving us a tip. Just the tip at the end of every show for quite a while. I listened to them all. Some are interesting, some are lame. Just being honest like John would be. But a few shows ago John gave a tip about the AA rechargeable batteries on Amazon and I had to have them. The way he described them and how they were different from previous rechargeable batteries made me jump on Amazon and get them while still listening to the end of the show. Never used any of his tips before. It just seems weird I picked up now to do something and now the future when we were spring cleaning or moving or whatever. Gotta help the person that suggests that this 12 old 12 pack of AA rechargeable battery should be thrown out. These stupid batteries will be used for as long as I can use them but will always be in my office as a reminder. John still can't believe he's gone. Wish he could just recharge. We wish we could just recharge him so I wouldn't have to miss him. But that's selfish.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh wow.

[J.C.]

I'm sure he's resting peacefully and enjoying the outpouring of love and support from the greatest family in the universe, the no Agenda family. Sincerely saddened D.J. briggs, Peter Van Eeden Aiden Eden Aiden aiden Aiden Aiden. 198.89 Dear Adam and Mimi, first of all my deepest condolences. I'm a longtime listener but first time donator so a de douching is at its at its place.

[J.C.]

in honor of John's favorite number, I donated 188€0.80 euro plus the fees now that John's voice is no more part no more part of the best podcast in the universe, my Monday and Friday mornings in the Lowlands won't be the same. I was always eager to start listening to a new episode of no Agenda and smiling when hearing usually John's opening sentence. He was the best and the funniest. At this moment I'm on holiday in the French Alps with my wife and shocked hearing of John's passing. As a sommelier, John would have loved the taste of good French wine. Therefore, we raise a glass to the memory of John C. Dvorak where the John's C stands for commemoration jingles John's Rosita I have ants John's spirit Donate jingle one of his best with kind regards Peter Van Aiden Aiden in Friesland Friesland Friesland Bock over Bosch Bauke baque Bauke yes Bauka 198.89 hi Adam, Mimi and family. My sincerest condolences for the loss of jcd. It's the strangest thing to be emotional about the passing of somebody you have never met in your life. That must mean it was a great person. Then again, listening to his voice for six hours a week is more than I listen to my wife. So maybe it is not so strange after all. We'll be greatly missed. Be strong all together. Love and light overboss.

[Mimi Dvorak]

You know, that's more than he listened to me.

[Adam Curry]

There it is. There it is. Dame Slammy Thing is Slay me Dame.

[J.C.]

Slay me, Dame Slamy. Love and blessings to the Dvorak and Curry families and all of Gitmonation. JCD saves saved lives despite himself. Love is lit.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, it's. It's amazing that I see all these names. I know how to pronounce them because these people have been with us for years and years and years.

[John C. Dvorak]

I love it.

[Adam Curry]

I love it.

[J.C.]

I love it. Sir/ doom from Frederick, Colorado 198.89. Thanks for everything JCD. You will be missed, sir doom Dame Vigil Annie and Douchebag Hubby. Okay, 1-985-to the Dvorakari no gender families. I came to know Agenda via John's appearances on TWIT in 2011, I believe and became a Dame on Show 1000. This show has been a big part of my life for 15 years. It won't be the same without John and it shouldn't be the same because John was truly Unique. Take comfort in knowing that he is fondly remembered by so many. My first Manuka Gold order arrived Friday, so I made a toast to John with a teaspoon of bee. Well, Mimi mentioned that John had a teaspoon before he passed, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea or

[Adam Curry]

not, but we'll see.

[Mimi Dvorak]

It'll be fine. I've been having it for every day since. So I'm still here.

[J.C.]

Nick and Dame Tabitha. 198. We're diminished. Sincere condolences from the Soaps family to the Dvorak curry. No Genta families. Now that I know John was 80 and the new York Times is a garbage rag.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Finally he succeeded.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, he got it. He got it.

[J.C.]

That means John was 33 years older than me. We welcome no Agenda into our life. Six years. So here's a tribute to John of 6 times 33 or 198. We'll miss John more than any other person we've never met and are so thankful for the Thursdays and Sundays we had with him. May the peace of the Lord comfort your grieving souls. Love ya. Mean it. Nick and Dame Tabitha Mitchell Rogers 197.89. My smoking hot partner Shelly and I have bonded over this show for a long time. It'll never be the same in the morning. Mitchell Drew Burrows of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. 188.90. Hi Adam and the no Agenda team. Rest in peace, John. We've lost a great one. Sending prayers to the Dvork family, to Adam and the entire no Agenda community. I have really enjoyed John's Tip of the Day. Although I'm not a wine drinker, I would routinely share the wine tips with my wife in hopes she would start listening to the rest of the show. Though she hasn't caught on yet. I wanted to share a personal Tip of the Day story. I was shopping at the grocery store and needed to buy fish sauce for a recipe. I was listening to the no Agenda show on my headphones while looking for it and lo and behold, John Sip of the Day started playing with his recommendation for fish sauce. So I knew exactly what to buy.

[Adam Curry]

Love it.

[J.C.]

I really appreciate what you guys have created and continue to do. Godspeed, John C. Dvorak. Sincerely, Drew Burrows Lake Geneva, Wisconsin Randy Wallen Georgetown, Texas 188.90. Rest in peace, John. May God's loving embrace comfort your family as well as the new Agenda universe. Your work during COVID will always be remembered. Blessings. Randy Wallen Georgetown, Texas Sir.

[Darren O'Neill]

I'll take it over, sir. Dr. Jeff of Atherton, California. $188.90. Dear me, Adam, Tina and the no Agenda family. I'm making a donation in memory of John and I wanted to send a long a few words with it. I've been a listener for the better part of a decade now, but my history with John actually goes back much further than that. As a teenager in the 1980s, heading into my early 20s, I was completely absorbed by computers. And a lot of what I taught myself came from PC magazine and the other periodicals of the day. John was often the writer with the insider's eye, the reviewer you trusted because he'd clearly used the things thing and had an opinion about it. I read everything he wrote. He was part of my education before I ever knew his voice. Years later, I rediscovered him on Twit with Leo laporte arguing with. Messing with Leo's newest toys. Switching the language on some poor unboxed device to Korean or Russian just to watch the gas. You know he did that to my iPhone.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, yeah, of course he did. That's initiation, man. That's part of the deal.

[Darren O'Neill]

That's where I first heard about no Agenda. And when I tuned in, I got a genuine surprise. My MTV VJ from my teenage years. Adam Curry sitting right there as his co host. The two of them became a real part of my life. They were funny. I learned constantly and I loved the irreverence of it all. At a time when so much media seemed engineered to keep people anxious. They are. Deconstruction of the newspaper brought real clarity. They helped me remember to actually think, to ask Cui bono? Who benefits? My listening became routine in the best way. Itm the fat lady saying, washing the car, driving back roads, coffee at home on a Sunday morning. Every episode got listened to more than once. More nights and I can count I fell asleep to the two of them arguing with each other. I never met John and never met Adam either. But I feel like I know them. Last Sunday I remember noticing John pause a couple of times and at one point he sounded congested. It took him a while to clear his throat and it bothered me. I wish I'd had a way to reach him and just ask if he was doing all right. Tell him to check in with his cardiologist. That wasn't God's plan, apparently. Mimi, my deepest condolences to you and the family. Adam, Tina, I'm so sorry for your loss. Get my name will go on. It'll just be different now. God bless sir Dr. Jeff no jingles, no Karma for the Note Agenda family.

[Adam Curry]

No jingles, just karma. Let me give them that.

[Darren O'Neill]

Just karma. Yes. Yeah, let's do some karma Karma. Mike v from Clarkston, Michigan $188.90 I want to send my sincerest condolences to the Dvorak family and Adam. RIP JCD Janie Burnt from Duluth, Georgia $188.89 to Adam and John's family. Not big on putting myself out in the universe to those that I do not really know, but I guess your podcast affected me more than I would like to admit. I know I'm one of many listeners to reach out, but real prayers to Adam and John's family for strength and healing in this time of mourning. I'm listening to episode 1888 and your courage to share is amazing. Thank you for shar memories with the no Agenda family so that everyone can process this loss with you. Sincerely, Jenny Burnt Duluth, California Aaron Mullet from an unknown location 18889, Jingles Heavenly Farts thank you for so much of the family that both John and Adam have added to my life. John will be greatly missed and always remembered. I pray peace and blessings over John and his family in Jesus this name sir j night of the interstate 18889 my deepest condolences to Dvorak family. I started listening to no Agenda after hearing Adam on the Joe Rogan on March 4, 2020. I tuned into show 1230 and I've been hooked ever since. You guys have been the bookends of my week. I start my four day run on Sunday and come back home on Thursday and the best show has been with me ever since. Mile of the way. One of the things that kept me coming back was old cranky guy who was also incredibly witty. Adam was the showman and John was the voice of knowledge. I will forever miss JCD his stories, his deep insights and his unique perspective. You guys came into my life just before my mentor passed away. I had listened to rush Limbaugh since 1992 and no agenda filled a void I didn't even think could be filled. I didn't replace Rush. I brought me to another dimension and thought and conversation. I recently became a knight on March 13, 2026 and I'm looking forward to the next chapter of the no Agenda Show. John's presence can never be replaced, but his legacy will live on through the community he helped build. Ser J Knight of the Interstate Michael Powers Jr. 18888 My condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families and all of the no Agenda Nation. JCD brought joy to the lives of of countless people he never met. I'm one of them. You will be missed by many. The one and only John C. Dvorak eric in FEMA region 118888, ITM John and Mimi this donation comes with a heavy heart at the loss of a legend. John C. Dvorak. His voice and yours Adam have been part of my life for nearly two decades now and a voice of reason, insight and laughter. There's going to be a big part of that that feels empty now without buzzkill sounding the electricity alarm on bullshit, saying the quiet part out loud and joking around. You both have helped so many of us find our own voice of reason and speak with a more informed platform. I know I'll be re listening to your shows for a long time to come and always carry around the knowledge with them. You and John always talked about an exit strategy and I like to think that his legacy is his exit strategy. You've both created a large family and following that will live on and I'm so thankful for all you've done. All you've both done. The FEMA regions are forever in debt to your chivalry, deconstructions and wealth of information. Ride into this sunset easy knowing your exit strategy is alive and well. The no Agenda show has helped me in so many ways throughout the years and my heart goes out to Mimi, his family, Adam and the no Agenda community. Much love and respect Eric and FEMA Region 1 no agenda to Tokyo 1888 with love from no agenda to Tokyo. Anonymous, Bloomington, Minnesota 1888 I've appreciated what you both have done over the years. Very sorry for your loss of a great friend. Shepard from Doniphon, Missouri 1888 Dear John and Adam, it doesn't feel right to not start a donation letter or this note this way. So one last time. That's how I'll do it. 2015 was a formative year in my life. I graduated college, got married and had my first child. I also found the new agenda. So in some way John has been there as my wife and I created our family and was part of it. Maybe that's why I feel quite gutted by his passing. My oldest daughter was literally raised with John's voice in the background of her life and and she feels the same. We've cried together. Thank you for all your contributions. You've made this the hours spent during the unseen and heard work providing John with countless stories, opinions and anecdotes. Most of all, thank you for giving your husband and father to us for six hours a week. You will be sorely missed. From Shepherd Sir Brian the miserable IT guy from Troy, Michigan, Michigan. He did 1-888-Mery, to Mimi, the entire Dvorak family and Adam for the loss of the legendary jcd. One of my treasured memories is driving John and around Detroit after the first Michigan meetup in 2014. I was starstruck having grown up reading his columns. He played it as cool as I could. I played it, but played it as cool as I could. We talked about no Agenda to twit technology, Detroit history and he complained about the cheap Nissan Versa rental car. We visited Michigan Central Station, John K. King Rare Bookstore and a couple of beautiful old churches. At the bookstore he told me to park in a no parking zone to be closer to the door and we got a parking ticket on the rental car. While inside let them try to find me, he said while crumpling up the ticket and tossing it in the backseat. Classic jcd. Thank you for the memories John. You will be missed by so many. Sir Brian the Miserable IT Guy Scott Green from Ajax, Ontario, Canada $188.88 to the man who put the C in Contrarian Love and light John, please accept $188 Kanduckistan kopecks and de douche me.

You've been de douche.

[Adam Curry]

I actually have Peter Maclay's note for the following 188.88 and he says, hello Adam, I'm a Tom woods producer since June 2021 and now seems like a good time to complete my knighthood accounting Blow Jay, send that to me. I'll settle for Sir Pete of Dublin Bay south and the Poolberg Salient for the Round Table, a hot measure of JCD's favorite Irish whiskey with a slug of mine Nuka Honey mixed in. There were times during the 2021 PSYOP when a little piece of my heart used to break every time Adam's mournful Creative Commons jazz music announced that a show was coming to an end. The show was that important to me. This is worse. Thank you for your courage, Don, and may the road rise to meet you. My thoughts are with Mimi, the family and with you, Adam. No jingles, no karma. Love is lit. Soon to be sir pete Anonymous Sacramento, CA 18881 thank you for your service. John C. Dvorak with the C stands for Commemorate the Value of a donation would never match the value you brought to this world. We are truly grateful. Richard Gardner it has taken me days to finally sit down and write this learning of John's passing affected me more than I expected. My first donation to no Agenda was back on December 19, 2010, so I've been listening nearly twice a week for nearly 17 years. You both have been such a big part of my life for so long that I can honestly say John had a tremendous impact on the man I have grown into. Our home is stocked with dozens of items he personally recommended over the years, even before the tip of the day. They now serve as wonderful reminders of John in my daily life. While I never made it to a meetup to see him in person, hearing him confidently state that I was definitely from New York City despite my donations, coming from parts unknown always brings a smile to my face. There are far too many highlights to recall, but I have never laughed harder than when John did his club 33 bits. They were absolutely absolutely comedy gold. I fell behind on the show over the last few months and was listening at 1.2 times speed to catch up on the backlog, but with this week's news I immediately reverted back to normal speed. I'm taking in every every remaining second of John's wit and humor, enjoying it for the precious commodity it now is. Rest in Peace Dear Buzzkill, all my love to Adam and the dvorak family. Jared Collier 188 no note Mark Brandenburg 1888 Rest in peace John. Thank you for all the laughs and keeping us sane during COVID Wishing Adam and John's loved ones strength and love during this difficult time.

Fitting that the donation from the two of us could comes out at 177.76 plus fees are last in the morning to you sir. Johnny B. I have never been so saddened by the news of a passing someone I never had the privilege or honor of meeting. I will miss John. His email responses that half the time were a little dickish if he bothered at all. His humor, wit, confrontational attitude towards Adam that spice things up, his obvious love love for his family, his good advice and tips, his buzzkill attitude and his wonderful voices. I will miss this man I never met and still feel like I knew a little. I pray for Mimi, jc, Jay, Theo, Eric and the rest of Dvoraks, the Curries and the many people that will carry John in their hearts and memories. God Bless John, Adam and the Noah Jenner family.

He was brilliant, he was funny and I will and already do miss him. Ian Cummings Kingsville, Texas 1 hour, 26 minutes and 40 seconds I'm sad to hear of JCD's passing.

Thank you jcd for giving me my Dame name because I thought it was cool that John got a kick out of the name of my hometown, Floyd's Knob. I had to be damned. Monica of Floyd's Knobs. The knowledge in the nation will keep John with us by propagating JCD isms. Finally, my thanks to the Night at the Movies for introducing me to no Agenda House Selling Karma. Well, I'll give you a car.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Was that.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, I give you a little karma there.

[Mimi Dvorak]

You've got karma.

Carl Schneider 118 and 88 cents I thought we had more time. End of an era. Rest in peace. JCD William Montane John, you will be greatly missed. I know you'd want the show to go on as we as we as do we all, but much like a band that loses a founding member, no matter how good it may be going forward, it will always in some sense be a different band with the same name. Rest in peace. Bill Mountainee Mount Holly, New Jersey Christine Phelps 116.92 I'm sending love and prayers to John's family and Adam. I'm very sorry for his loss. Listening to his stories and commentaries kept me company, whether on the road, at work or doing dishes. This is one of my comfort podcasts, Love and Light. Chevalier Pierre Lamouche a row of sticks 11111 John, if they are letting you listen to the show and the great beyond, thank you for your courage. Chevalier Pierre Lamouche Sir James of Norway in Rystadt, Norway 10888 in the morning no agenda family I've been with you guys since episode one which was published a few weeks after I moved to Norway in October October of 2007. The move marked a new chapter in my life and I'm grateful to have had you with me almost daily ever since. Adam, I loved it when you managed to make John laugh, especially the handful of times you really caught him off guard and he blurted out a big har.

[John C. Dvorak]

Thanks.

[Adam Curry]

Thank you. Thanks. That's all I really wanted to do. Thanks to the Dvorak family for sharing John with us for so long. He was wonderful and will be sorely missed.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Missed.

[Adam Curry]

Yay Jesus. Sir James of Norway. Jason Watkins 10535 thanks John for the years of insight and for the laughs.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Rest in Peace and Jeremy Toth 106:41 no notes.

[Adam Curry]

I missed that one. I'll do drone dork will 105:35 Greetings Podfather. This is hitting me harder than I would have expected. The no Agenda show is a way for me to kick back and listen to my grumpy uncles deconstruct the world for me. It makes me feel like I'm at the kids table at a family function overhearing my favorite relatives be themselves, not realizing they are influencing the next generation. I miss the times of sitting with our elders and hearing them tell us stories over their lives. I think this is something that the current generation is lacking and it's sad. That's what no Agenda is for me. It's a way for me to still pay respect to elders I hold high and hold in high esteem and just listen to them. After all, they deserve it. They paved the way for us to live as we do today, for better or for worse is what I think JCD would input here. I will miss JCD to no end. His voice, his curmudgeon takes on things, his wacky sound effects, and most of all, his audio blunders that irk at him all the time. I love you two boomers. Rest in peace. Jcd. I love you. You don't have to read this part on the air if you don't want to, but I will. Adam Hang in there brother. This has got to be a rough time losing your dear friend and podcast partner. I feel for you. I'm giving you a giant bear hug in my head. He's gazing down upon us, bumping his mic and smirking. Mimi my my condolences. John was an amazing person and we were all lucky to have him on in our lives. We love you on the show and looking forward to the next chapter of no Agenda. Okay, can someone else take over now.

[Mimi Dvorak]

J.C. your turn.

Zachary Johnson 105. 35 cents I found no agenda to be life changing and still do. The John and Adam combo was perfect. There are a few, if any out there with better tastes than had. John C. Dvorak Peter Lockwood Richmond, CA 10535 My wife and I are long term listeners. Over the years the show has taught us how to view the world and media through a different lens and for that we are forever grateful. John was instrumental in that education. He will be missed. Jim Warren and Clayton Hyatt105.35 we always marveled at the breadth of John's knowledge. You'll be missed. Jim Warren and Clayton Hyatt. Rocky Thomas 105:35 as William Shakespeare wrote, no legacy is so rich as honesty. Thank you JCD for your candor and courage. You'll be missed but your impact on others is eternal.

Thank you Rocky. I know Rocky. Thank you so much.

[J.C.]

Edgar Schatz Beaverton, OR 10535 I may have never met John, but he made a lasting impact in my life and for that I am grateful. You will be missed. In many ways everyone kind of met him. They just he didn't meet them.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah, it's true.

[J.C.]

Marianne Delphia 105:35 no note Neil Ide or one of those 205:35 thank you John for the insights, tips, jokes, critiques, calm diversions and deconstruction. You've provided a no agenda community. We miss you and we hope you rest in peace. Dean W. Evans 10535 Just heard via daily Tech News show sitting here with a whiskey and cigar in the UK as I heard, so it's now in memory of John. The man will be missed though I'm sure sure dad would ask what whiskey? What cigar?

[Adam Curry]

Yes, exactly right.

[J.C.]

John Sweeney 105. 35 we all cried when we heard the news but feel blessed by his memory and all he's given to the world. A true here. May he rest in peace. Joshua Patter 105:35 I need to know, was John bumping the mic a bit? No, it almost certainly wasn't. Did it start as an accident and end up as a bit. Love all you guys.

[Adam Curry]

It was not a bit. He was super annoying with his bumping of the mic, which he always said he wasn't doing, but he was. He was bumping the mic.

[Mimi Dvorak]

But I mean, this mic stand is about a thousand years old. I think it was the first one ever created on earth. It is old and it's. It's filthy and it's got the way. And it leans. It leans.

[J.C.]

It was. It was made in Rome. It's got Latin on it. Yes.

[Adam Curry]

There you go.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah. And it's really hard not to bump it the way this room's set up. So there's that. So wasn't a bit.

[J.C.]

So it was just a bit annoying.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah. I'll keep it up. So go ahead.

[J.C.]

J.C. jesse Miller, 105. 35.

[Mimi Dvorak]

No, you didn't finish. Joshua Parker. Love you guys.

[J.C.]

Oh yeah. Love all you guys in no gender family. Gonna miss the old coot. Jesse Miller, 105.35. This is my second donation. Over two years of being hit in the mouth. Unfortunately, this donation will not make JCD less grumpy. But I just wanted to thank you guys for your wealth of knowledge, companionship. Over the years, I've looked forward to each and every pod and I've always enjoyed your banter. I never met the guy, but he felt like family. And I'm devastated to see John go. My heart goes out to you, Adam, and all of John's family and friends. Rest in Peace, John Ben Clement. 105:35. Dear John, for decades you have shared your witty personality with us, given us the best insights with your tips and opinions, and even showed how a cranky man should sound.

[Darren O'Neill]

Like.

[J.C.]

Be it on cranky geeks, Tech5 or the no Gender show, just to name a few, you've been a true inspiration. Wishing you a safe trip to that big fan round table up there. And that Adam, Mimi and the rest of your family and loved ones will find the strength that they will need in these difficult times. I'd like to request to turn down your speakers and you've got Karma jingle. Steven Steve Brown. 105. 35. Best tech pundit in history. In an industry full of BS, John was the voice of no BS. Sir Mama's Boy. Sir Mama's Boy of the Ark Welders and Dame Rossi posey. Rosie Posey. 105 35. Dear Mimi and Adam, we are sorry to hear about the passing of John. My mom and I hope you and the rest of the Dvorak family heal with those you hold dear and close to and pray that John is resting in peace with the Lord. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4 it breaks my heart that I'll never get to meet the man himself, and it breaks even more to hear about what kind of man he was. His advice Tip of the Day Media Deconstruction instructions along with Adam have helped me keep an open mind and what goes on in the world. We know what to watch out for with information presented in the news and as always, keep our amygdalas small. With his humor, hot takes and life stories, his deeds, actions and words will not be forgotten. Sincerely with much love and support, Sir Mama Boy of the Arc Welders Paul Lincolns and Dame Rosie Posey Rose Lincolns Please do not stop this podcast. It is important for all of the reasons above. Mike E. Burnley, St. Augustine, Florida 105:35 no note Craig Jones 105:35 Instead of usual condolences, I wanted to share a memory of JCD in the mid 2010s. As a newly minted no agenda baronet in my mid 20s, I emailed John because I was convinced I wanted a career in tech journalism and wanted advice on how to break into the industry. Rather than ignore my email, which would be understandable given how many emails he must have been receiving, he replied. In fact, he gave me his number and took the time to talk with me when I called. His advice is simple, don't do it. He said. I'd he said I'd struggle to make a living or find stable work. Soon afterward, many major tech blogs, podcasts and publications folded or downsized, and he turned out to be absolutely right. That honest advice helped change the course of my life. It led to me down a different path, one that ultimately brought me a beautiful life and a beautiful wife. He may have helped saved me from years of hardship and I've never forgotten his kindness or honesty. Rest in peace John jcd Now you can taste wine, cook chili and deconstruct the media and complain about terrible writing all day long down here. We'll miss you Buzzkill. Is bt short for something?

[Darren O'Neill]

Probably baronet dave?

[Adam Curry]

Oh, could be.

[J.C.]

Dave the Reformed and Keeper Melissa 10535 I've been a fan of JCD since 1995 when he got me with an April Fool's article about how two bit computing would take over.

[Adam Curry]

Right, I remember that one.

[Mimi Dvorak]

That was great.

[J.C.]

Yeah, was I ever so young? We'll so sorely miss John's voice in the way he kept our feet on the ground BT Dave the Rock reformed and Keeper Melissa Sir Sam of Bird for Shire in 10535 I started disliking John for all his negativity and Mac user but have been a no Agenda listener since the early days. You're missed already jcd. Hope you're up there partying with Raven, Sir Sam of Bedfordshire and the Great the River Great Ooze Michael Lumpkins 105:34 thank you John for the years of incredible analysis. Your apparent love and commitment to the show, your sharp, your sexy voice and more importantly, your courage will be sorely missed. Prayers to the Dvorks, the Currys and all of no gender nation. James Holiday 105:34 thank you for your courage.

[Darren O'Neill]

John Doyle 104:17 yeah dear Adam, Mimi and the rest of the Dvorak and no Agenda extended family in honor of the great man himself, I will attempt to be brief.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yeah right.

[Darren O'Neill]

Come on bud, get real. First I was hit in the mouth by Google Podcasts in November of 2020 when in the dark depths of a paranoid winter I searched Covid conspiracies there and no Agenda was the top result. I felt the healing effects on my amygdala from the first episode and this bomb later led me to the setting up a monthly producer plan despite PayPal apparently deleting all activity prior to 2023. Second please call out Google Podcasts as a douchebag even though it is bad, even though bad form to speak ill of the dead, no matter how much they deserved it. I finally reached Knighthood earlier this year, though it has remained unclaimed until today. John and Adam have been my constant companions on my daily 150 mile round trip journey to work these last five years and JCD's irascible, sarcastic, deeply knowledgeable and always hilarious commentaries were one half of the reasons I would willingly donate 20 hard earned bucks every 30 days to a comedy podcast, quote unquote. To say I was surprised by how sad I was upon hearing about JCD's passing is an understatement. To affirm that this is the only podcast I donate to is a measure of how much John and Adam have meant to me over the years. I only wish that my portion of the value for value ratio was remotely equal to your side of the equation. Please knight me, sir. Not that John Knight of the Sweet Old Fashioned. I'd like a rack of ribs from O. Denise and John C. Dvorak's favorite Costco Cabernet Sauvignon at the round table. Please. Godspeed, jcd and blessings to all who loved you. He really liked the year 2018 on that cab.

[Adam Curry]

Okay, Sorted. Sorted.

[J.C.]

Yeah.

[Darren O'Neill]

No longer a douchebag Indianapolis, Indiana $103.33 Miss you, John. Signed no longer a douchebag.

[Darren O'Neill]

sir. 3D from Osaka, Japan. ITM from Osaka to JCD. I was barely 10 years old when I started reading your PC Magazine columns in Finland, Swamia. I grew up with computers with your commentary. Later my critical thinking solidified thanks to you and no Agenda. I learned so many things from you. Like this one time on the show you said there is a thing called Mission Burrito. I finally visited San Francisco in May and had a Mission Burrito. And it was great.

[Mimi Dvorak]

No, it was great.

[Darren O'Neill]

It was great. During episode 1328 art critique segment, you praised my work and said this guy is very funny. It is a highlight of my design career. Thank you JCD sir 3D Kyle Shaper, $100.88 John was the prodigious prognosticator of all things tech and so much more. What an icon. Praying that the peace of Christ which surpasses all all understanding, would guard your hearts and minds right now. Donnie Norris Torrance, California $100.

I will be praying for the Lord guides you in the right direction. John I followed you since the tech TV days and I still can't believe believe you're gone. You've felt like part of my family for decades. First, I want to thank you for your career twit and your PC magazine articles were an early inspiration for me. When you were no longer a regular on Twitter. That was the first time I felt a JCD void. Then I got the first iPhone at launch and started using itunes where I could search for podcasts. I still remember my first itunes search. John C. Dvorak I had to fill the void, man. That's when I found the no Agenda podcast. And my life has never been the same. I've been a listener since episode one pre mouth hitting second. I want to thank you for the years of hard work on no Agenda. I feel like I knew you even though we never met. I could go on, but I'm trying to keep this short. Thanks, bud. The void is real and I'm truly going to miss you. Thank you for the huge contributions you made to my life. All time the be praying for comfort over your family and direction to the no Agenda show. Lucas Deaton from Oakwood, Ohio. $100. No note, Josh Seawell, $100. I can never thank you guys enough for helping me and my family navigate Covid and all the other madness With a clear mind. We salute you, jcd. You'll be greatly missed. Prayers and love to the De La Borac family. Johnny Ogden from from Utah. $100. Oh yeah, Johnny from Ogden, Utah. There you go. If everyone is more like jcd, the world would be a better place. He has been the background voice to my life for years and I want to thank my friends Rodney and Josh for introducing me to the show. My condolences to Adam, JCD's family and all the new Agenda listeners as we all mourn together. Please de douche me as I will make my first donation towards knighthood.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched.

[Darren O'Neill]

I was waiting for my startup to take off one day, but this one's for John. May I have a you've got prayers jingle?

[Adam Curry]

You've got prayers, I think.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hello Adam and Mimi. I am very sorry for your loss of John. As many have said, I never met the guy yet feel like he was a family. This donation will also certify me as a viscount. And going forward, I want to be known as Viscount John of the Goodlands of Wisconsin. It may not be appropriate, but I would love to to hear John say go fuck yourself.

[Adam Curry]

It's in there. You heard it. You heard it earlier.

[Darren O'Neill]

I really do not know how I could fare without this show keeping me sane. You all have been in my life for so long. I was one of those who John recruited from twit audience back when John was actually the person who made twit worth listening to. I've been a fan of Adams for even longer than John. Since I am an ex J. Jenner who loved a Gen Xer, who loved Headbangers Ball. Keep on keeping on friends thank you, Viscount John of the Goodlands of Wisconsin, AKA John Noonan.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, of course. Yes, I remember John Noonan.

[Darren O'Neill]

Nick Vass From New York, NY $100 Dear Dvorak family and Adam, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept this small 100 donation. I'll try to keep this note short. I first came across your show through a Google search and no Agenda was the top of the list back in 2018. From the very first time I listened, it was John who kept me coming back for more. Sorry Adam, There was something Sorry Adam. That's all right. There was something about the way he shared what he knew, explained and deconstructed the news and other topics and the stories he shared that really drew me in. After that first episode, I knew I'd be back. I haven't had the chance to to listen to Show 11888 yet, but on Thursday night 7 23, I had a dream about the show. Oddly enough, in the dream it had been decided that the show would also include a live stream, which made me laugh considering it was something John and Adam had joked about just a few short shows ago. When poking fun at the formats of other podcasts, I took it as a sign that it was time to donate again, though I wish it was were under much better circumstances. My second thought was of the John donation jingle. I guess even from beyond, John still hasn't found an exit strategy and I hope he continues to haunt the show again. Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time. No jingles and all the karma and love to Adam and John's family. Sincerely, Nick Fass.

[Adam Curry]

You've got Karma.

[Darren O'Neill]

Eric Kistler wow, still processing the news. John has been a fixture in my life for over the years. My earliest memories of John are when I was a nerdy kid watching him on tech tv. I always loved learning from him and grateful he was able to share his talents with so many. He really was a father figure. John and Adam have been such a positive impact on my life, my prayers for Mimi and the entire Dvorak family, Adam and Tina and closest friends. John's life touched so many. Thank you JCD. Sincerely, Eric Kessler John Lance $100 donation Dear no Agenda Family, I was very sorry to hear of John's passing this week. When I turned in tuned in for the show on Thursday night and saw the title, I could hardly believe what I was reading. I am deeply saddened by his loss. Today I made my donation of $100 in honor of the memory of John C. Dvorak. Yeah. My first donation in $100 in honorary memory of J.C. dvorak.

[Adam Curry]

Let's deduce him you've been de douched.

[Darren O'Neill]

His perspective on life was always appreciated. As an Engineering graduate in 1981 who participated in the early days of PCs, I always find felt John was a kindred soul, especially where he would rattle off familiar chip numbers. I began listening to no agenda in 2020 as I welcomed relief in a sea of insanity and I've been a weekly listener ever since. You have been my go to podcast to make sense of the world and the craziness of the past five years. My condolences to the Dvorak family and to Adam for your loss. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual a light shine upon him. May his soul, the mercy of God, rest in peace.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Eric Hewitson Dear John, I came for the media deconstruction but stayed for your life stories, your dry humor and the unique perspective you brought to every conversation. Over time, you became more than just a voice on a podcast. You became someone whose opinions and views I look forward to hearing once a week. Now, my ex husband. My now ex husband hit me in the mouth numerous times during our marriage, but it wasn't until Covid that no agendas perspective, perspective on the media and current events truly resonated with me. The show taught me to question what I was being told, look deeper and critically, and think critically, while your intelligence, skepticism, humor and willingness to change accepted narratives shaped the way I see the world. I want you to Know that you have had a profound and positive impact on my life. I am eternally grateful. God bless you, dear family and Adam. May you rest in peace. Peace. Regards Aaron Hewitson from Penrith, New South Wales, Australia. Carlos Mora Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I fell for my share. $100.

I started following John when I began working for Dick in 1981. He's a boomer like me. He had such a sharp wit and I always enjoyed when he was picking on Microsoft, IBM and Apple. I heard about the no Age show just as Trump 1.0 was ramping up and saw that JCD was co host with Adam Curry. My reaction was John should really be really interesting to listen to. However, what's he doing with an MTV VJ as a partner? The first two shows were interesting and entertaining, but I was so confused. 33.33 Rebelizer Dames Nice V for V. What is this madness? Is this a cult? I sent John and Adam a copy of the Edge lit signs. I started make. I started. I started making using the show art. I put a donation check in the box with John's but never got a mention. I assumed that the check was lost or thrown away so I resent another check with a new note. And of course John said it was my fault. Yes, he will be missed but not forgotten. Rest in peace JCD Laser Crafter LLC Jasper Verhoeven really? Verhoeven? Okay. 96.10 in the morning.

Special thanks to my friend Nigel for hitting me in the mouth and introducing me to the show during the peak of COVID insanity. That was the start of a run I haven't stopped since. John's passing hit me harder than I expected. His cranky wisdom and sharp insights trained me to question everything. It made me a clearer thinking and for that I'm forever grateful. Adam, I sincerely admire the grace and strength you've shown and my heart aches for the grief you and John's family are carrying. I take great comfort in God's sovereignty and kindness, trusting that he knows exactly what we need and will be with you in all in this season. Much Love Josh Edwards, 33 year old from Columbus, Ohio. Tori Almond 9365 always enjoyed his input and things and banter with Adam. Will miss hearing his opinions. Prayers for the family.

Much love to his family, to Adam and all the listeners he will be missed. Also, congratulations on your new granddaughter, Adam. Thank you. Side note Adam, when you first announced on Twitter X a few years ago that you were baptized, I thought you were hacked and it was a joke. So glad it was real and you found it.

Josh, Mickey or Mikey9364 in 2015, my buddy told me this podcast he found called no Agenda. Well, he told me the names of the hosts, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. I looked at him bewildered. The Adam Curry from MTV and John C. Dvorak from PC Magazine. My world was rocked. I could have never imagined a more dynamic duo. I knew Adam from his MTV days in the early 2000s. I subscribed to PC Magazine, where I was first introduced to JCD and his editorial column. I was new to tech. I look forward to each month. I look forward each month to reading his column and may have subscribed to an email newsletter when it began. Listening in 2015 to no agenda, I was fresh coming out of a health crisis and needed a new distraction to get well. Enter no Agenda. I found that at first to be like a morning zoo. But like John's columns, I look forward to the shows on Thursday and Sundays. JCD's dry wit and his humor and more importantly, his authenticity in who he is, was always an attraction to me. I will miss him, and not only him, but the dynamic that Adam and John bring to the Know Agenda community, even when, you know the days are limited here on earth. And just as well, the no Agenda podcast. Nothing can prepare anyone for this moment. My love and prayers to Mimi and the rest of the Dvorak family. Love and prayers to the Curry family and Horowitz family as well. It's a beautiful thing to see a life that touched millions in the morning and God's Blessings to all. Joshua Mickey Fargo, North Dakota Andrew Hua Cincinnati, Ohio 9364 thank you no no Ben from Gladstone Park, Victoria, Australia Recipes jcd. You'll be greatly missed. Thank you and Adam for all you have done. Condolences from Ben and Gladstone Park Park, Victoria, Australia Michael McInnes 9364 Rest in Peace JCD Aaron Chamberlain 9364 Dear John's family and Adam's family It makes me sad and brings me to tear. Brings tears to my eyes to hear the news. Over 15 years of my life I'm 38 have been spent with no Agenda. I first heard John on Twit and became interested in listening to no Agenda because of his promotion. Yes, it was shameless. He always seemed to promote things that meant something to him, even if just a blurb for someone's book. He was always he was always a treat anytime I heard him on Twitter and got excited whenever I heard he wasn't a guest. Once I hooked into no Agenda, I really got to know John. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the jokes, classic stories like torching ants and fisting nuts, crankiness, wit and insights, one liners, Confucius sayings, oh yeah. Grousing, moaning and complaining jabs at Adam. Talks of the Forever Vinegar book, speaking highly about his family and sharing the dynamic, being honest and forward about thoughts and opinions, indirectly teaching how to listen and critically think about what you hear. Infectious laugh when you get him rolling his phrase from the Shays the three by threes is hilarious and quite inaccurate. Imitation of Mimi, his pet peeves, rants and not a great questions and so many other things that I will forever cherish and will dearly miss. I never got the opportunity to meet John. I've only had one or two correspondence since through email, but I've never cared that much for those kinds of things. His legacy has made an impact on me regardless. Because of him, we've also gotten to know the great woman behind every man, Mimi. We can't imagine everything you and family are going through, but we love you guys as much as we love John. In my prayers and thinking of you guys. Michael Cross 9364 John will be dearly missed for more than four decades. He was part of so many lives, was writing and broadcasting. His wit and humor were unmatched. Condolences to Mimi, his kids and grandkids, everyone who knew and he loved him. These are actually 8888 so I'll just stop mentioning the number is plus the fees. Thank you, Jake Counts. Excuse me. Rest in peace, jcd. Your authentic take on the world left us with one saving grace. We can all imagine that JCD would say to all of Silver Silicon Valley Press releases an M5M. It's a scam. Thank you to my neighbor Ryan for hitting me in the mouth 10 years ago. Thank you for your courage. David Druffner. Prayers from Mimi, John, Mimi and the family. Love John's takes in PC magazine in the 80s. Was delighted to find him on Twitter then no Agenda and got a double delight discovering curry again. Much respect for his independence. Orange Man. Bad JCD Jingle. Yes. Chris Breaux. B R E I U X. Thanks jcd. You left the world better than you found it. From Chris and Angela in Sour Lake, Texas. Please say you after Sour Lake. Just like Jim Adriannakos. We love you jcd.

Your in our thoughts sending love and gratitude. His voice will be deeply missed. No note from Jeffrey Anderson. Thank you. Michael Arabinko. Condolences to the Dvorak and no Agenda families. Although John and I never met, I lost a friend. Natalie Taylor, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. So sad to hear about John's passing. Been listening to no agenda for about 16 years. Heard the news right before bed and couldn't sleep at once.

Joel Cox in Indianola, Pennsylvania. I started watching John on Silicon Spin, then followed him to Cranky Geeks and Twit. When no Agenda began, I was there for episode one. I was laid off in June 2014 and fell away from the show for a while, but I returned in November 2015. Since then no Agenda has been my North Star for sanity. For years I tried to hit people in the mouth. Sadly, I was only successful once, but they fell overboard. The combined wisdom and experience of John and Adam never ceased to amaze me. I always wished John would write a book filled with all his stories. They were incredible and John was always so insightful. I'll miss him forever. Throughout episode 1888, I found myself close to tears several times. I lost my dad on March 5th of this year. While driving to dinner that night, I started listening to no Agenda and immediately noticed that the introduction was different. Then I heard the news that John was in the hospital. I was so relieved that he recovered. On Wednesday afternoon I received the newsletter. Initially thought this subject line had to be clickbait. I could not believe it was real. The world would never be the same without John. For the past year, I had been listening to the show live and then listening to it all over again. Afterward, John's voice, stories, wisdom and humor became part of the rhythm of my life. I'll forever Ms. John. P.S. i know the city says Indianola on PayPal, but I'm in the Pittsburgh area.

Okay, good to know.

There we go. Longtime listener 73 Jeffrey Micadoo no, no. Mark LeClaire I started listening after Adam was on the Glenn beck show the first Christmas after Covid working the holidays at UPS. The show got me through the text 1012 hour workdays. I loved hearing John's anecdote about the tech industry, wine publishing, etc heart. Daniel Pritchett While I'm saddened our favorite Puzz kill has left us behind, I'm confident that the Podfather and the wonderful no Agenda producers will keep the show going strong. I'll be blasting classical music to keep the varmints away in John's honor. Alex Myers it's tough to think of a favorite memory of JJCD among the 600 episodes I've heard, so I'll just stick to something from my favorite person. When John had his heart attack, I told my wife and showed her the picture in the newsletter. She instantly replied, aww, he's so cute. I'm sure he'd love that. Love Thoughts and prayers in the Myers family Alex, Alex, Ivan, Jacqueline and Kennedy to all sent from a phone that we'd be better off in a drawer. Sir Waldo in the morning in memory of JCD who I read into PC mag in the 80, watched on CDTV in the 90s and listened on my first MP3 player in the 05 on TWiT, then no Agenda thanks for the memories. Memory Sir Waldo of the Lake Lower Alabama exec producer episode 1500 Spencer Christian John was one of those rare voices who could hear the hidden manipulation inside the M5M linguistic mastery. He had an extraordinary ability to stop a clip, pull apart the framing buzzwords and manufactured narratives, and reveal the spell they were trying to cast. I always found his sharpness fascinating, not simply because he was skeptical, but because his skepticism was informed by deep knowledge, long experience, and willingness. Say what others might overlook. He understood technology, media, and the business forces behind both. He was never intimidated by consensus. He will be dearly missed. Aloha Spencer Ashley Williams no Note David Kelly, Dublin I will miss John, especially his sense of humor. I can still clearly remember laughing my ass off when he started announcing the Girls Like Raven and no Agenda Club 33 thinking of Mimi, the Dvorak Family and Adam Rest in Peace. JCD Paul Tittle John Cdvorak, in my opinion, will go down as one of the best broadcasters of all time. Listening to him and Adam on air was a distinct privilege of our time, and I tried my best not to take it for granted because even the best things aren't forever. 3 Bethany Elliot Adam I'm deeply saddened to hear of John's passing. My heart goes out to the Dvorak family. Losing the family patriarch is incredibly painful. However, it can also bring the family together in a different dynamic. This includes the no Agenda family. Although I don't think John would have liked me personally, I liked him and always look forward to listening, listening and laughing.

[Mimi Dvorak]

He didn't like anybody.

[Adam Curry]

Come on, really.

[Darren O'Neill]

He would have liked the briefness of your note.

[J.C.]

Yes, thank you for your courage. Yours truly, Beth Isaac Boyney. Thank you for your courage. DCD no Agenda has been the voice of sanity for me, filling the void that was left with Rush's passing. John's loss feels very similar. I pray that you find the strength to continue because the world needs you. Adam Itam Alex Bell May his courage be eternal and its thank yous never cease. Frank Chia Petta Chia Petta in Carpenter Carpentersville, Illinois I'm gonna miss John's humor, his laugh, the vast knowledge he brought from the wide range of experiences accumulated throughout the awesome life he lived. Prayers to his family and Adam. RP RIP JCD Dave Clark Dear Adam Keeper, Mimi and the family, like so many others, this week has not only left me gutted at John's passing, but curious as to how how someone I haven't personally met could have meant so much and left such a void. I'll leave this short out of respect for John's liking of short notes, but please see the attached clip of John's shout out to me during a donation segment as it's one of my most happy moments of my life. Prayers for you all. Dave Clark, AKA the Unknown Knight. Also the broke air traffic controller.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, we have a lot of air traffic controllers who listen to the show and it's appreciated.

Sir Fatigued Coder of Knoxville, Tennessee It Morning punctuality has never been my strong suit. As a teen, when I arrived at my grandfather's house well after I was supposed to, he said, well, if it isn't the late Daniel Summers. My two and a half decades in the Air Force made that a bit better, but I still struggle. Thank you for your second chance for a tribute. Well before that teenage incident, I had magazines with John's writing. Throughout his career he brought a unique perspective. His skepticism was rooted in his ability to see through a marketing bull crap and his ever expanding knowledge. It's a skill I've tried to learn and emulate throughout my career. My prayers have been twofold. Gratitude for all I learned from John and the laughs he provided and peace from Amy and his family, Adam and Tina and no Agenda Nation RIP JCD Sir Fatigued Coder Easy Landscapes Greetings from North Stone Bonington, Connecticut. IT I was never planning to email or contact your show as I believe the value for your value system. My business Easy Landscapes has been doing the $50 monthly donation thing since 2021. I stumbled upon you during COVID and my business partner and I love listening and talking about the show. I started my Friday as usual downloading your podcast and heading out to mow lawns. I had no knowledge that JCD had passed, so by 9am I was blubbering like a B. Maybe after Adam's intro. Of course, hearing Mimi warmed my heart and listening to the Value for Value producers emailing their thoughts and prayers. As I'm writing this, I'm tearing up because everyone hit every feeling I went through all day. Adam, your words were beautiful. Mimi, thank you for sharing that he passed quickly and without pain. It's amazing the impact an individual whom you've never met has made upon you for the no Agenda show has done just that. Made me part of a larger family. May God bless you and my thoughts and prayers will be with you. All of you. Disabled veteran small business owner, married father of two with much gratitude, Eric Charles George no note Sir, I'm so sad and sorry for everyone lose but I am also equally as grateful that I got hit in the mouth and I got to enjoy John's voice in my ear for six hours a week for years. You're going to be truly missed my friend. Truly missed. Thank you for being such a good human. RIP Buzz Kill Black Knight Sur Lafance Gary Marquardt Marquardt?

Mark Malin Baton Rouge, Louisiana no note Merrick Claudic Every time I drove drive John and Adam sitting in the car with me, I have this parasocial relationship with the two father figures listening them talking, arguing and then we laugh together. Thank you for your decades of entertainment and knowledge you shared. April Kyle from Carmel in Indiana. I was hit in the mouth by Dame Cindy of the Tito's about four years ago and I have been listening with on my morning walks day after show ever since. I have learned so much from John and Adam and appreciate their take on all things around the world. It has truly kept me sane in this totally insane world. I especially enjoyed their entertaining banter. JCD is the second person in less than a year that I have cried pride for that I have never met. I've started a 3.33 monthly donation in his honor. Thank you for all of you. Mimi family and Adam are in my thoughts. RIP April Kyle from Carmel.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Sir Denonymous I think that's what it says.

[Adam Curry]

Yes,

[J.C.]

got it.

[Mimi Dvorak]

John's stories made me laugh out loud, which got me some strange looks while listening on the train. From ants peeing on people to the pranks, not many people can say they had such an impact on so many lives. Rest in peace, John.

[Adam Curry]

Sir Denonymous and Sir Denonymous. We thank him because he was the brains and the muscle and the hardware and software behind Bingit IO.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Ah, we just saw a lot he's allowed to make laugh on the train.

[Adam Curry]

Yes, of course.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Brian Yount In 53 years, JCD is the second public figure I've cried for. His voice was a regular part of my life and his wealth of stories and insights amazed and amused me. I know he'd want the show to soldier on as we need community now more than ever. God Bless Andrew Lentfor Long live the memory of Jean C. Dvorak. Where the C stands for Crusader of Truth. Truth and calling out the bull crap. I just want John's family to know that he had an immeasurably positive influence on my life and they should be proud to call him Kin. This week has been dark, but the world is brighter from John's shining example. Love from the High Desert James and Deborah from Trimble, Missouri. The only notice John will be misspelling by my husband and I. He and Adam have been part of our lives for about 15 years. Found DH unplugged a couple years ago. John's humor was one of a kind. We are sorry for your loss and we're keeping your family in our prayers. James and Deborah Tyler of the Wailing City. I finally realized the value I received from the show when I shed some tears hearing of JCD's passing. My condolences to the Dvorak family and to you, Adam during this time. Hopefully eternity allows you to still grouse jcd. I'm sure of it. Tyler of the Wailing City Jason Carver Rest in Peace. JCD will be greatly missed. John would have approved of that. Short note. David Overbeck Brooksfield, Wisconsin Watch John on Tech TV. Watch TWiT with John. Watch cranky geeks. Watch. Watched the Tech Grouch Enjoyed no agenda since 2009 listen through all of the milestones of life. Going to miss John's honesty and perspective. Rest in peace, jcd. You were a real one. Christian Berrigan. Name is pronounced like the Christian religion. I think I got that right.

[Adam Curry]

You got close.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Oh Berrigin. Oh Christian Bargen. Okay, this is my first large donation amount. So please deduce

[John C. Dvorak]

you've been de douched.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Russ Allen hit me in the mouth during the COVID shutdowns. Adam, you and John kept me sane that insanity and for that I'm forever grateful. Thanks to John. Now and then I keep my phone in a drawer and turned off. I also hit my husband in the mouth pretty hard and he started from up Episode one last year. But the punch to the gut was knowing that John passed on on my birthday. Oh, it's a blessing in disguise in a way. Now we're forever thankful we gave our time to John and your wisdom and will continue to do so through the archive. I'd also like to share that I'm doing a Novena Novena prayer for John, Adam and Mimi and family. We love you and you're in our prayers too.

[Adam Curry]

Thank you.

[Mimi Dvorak]

God bless you. Randy o' Rourke I was deeply saddened to hear the news of John's passing this morning. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, I felt as though I knew him through listening to his stories and insights over the last 16 years. He will be greatly missed. Please know that I am praying for Mimi and the rest of the family as well as for you and Tina during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Randy o' Rourke Stephanie Lusaic Lukasic Lukasic we are so sad we will miss hearing John's voice. Dave Schwanebeck what the ultimate buzz. What the ultimate buzzkill. Rest in peace John. Thank you for the words of wisdom, insightful tips, great humor and honest opinions. You'll be missed by many. Sir Pent Ship the world is a little colder now. I first saw John when I was 8 years old on tech TV and had his voice in my ear for hours every week since 2021 words cannot express how much we will miss him. I pray for him and for all the no agenda family. Sir pent 888-888-Jason Larson it listen to episode 1887 a second time JCD actually had the best exit strategy ever. Great last episode as always tech grouch. We all hope to go doing what we loved. P.S. i need a deduching

Christian Black Mountain, North Carolina Dear Adam and Mimi, Attached is a phone recording of the Mount Mitchell 6600 and weekly amateur radio net time of recordings Saturday, July 25, 2026 I don't have the recording so that's fine since this call sign. I don't know how to do call signs.

[Adam Curry]

Adam Kilo, Juliet six Lima, November Golf. He would say liquid natural gas.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Of course he would. Renewed in November 2022. I felt it appropriate to give him last call. Okay, I can't read this one anymore. JC or Adam.

[Darren O'Neill]

That's a tradition for amateurs who pass away and are now silent. Sky and Key. Yeah, due to the repeater's broadcastify stream being down the short notice for anyone to record the transmission properly, I'd use my phone to record this. Please excuse the audio and long duration. There are are pauses in the audio. Those are not for effect. That is a given time for a station to call back. This is my second donation. $888.88 plus the 476 in fees. And we'll be switching to a monthly donation to gain a knighthood in honor of John. If you would be so kind, Adam, as to de douche me. My family continues to pray for John's family and friends, ITM and 73s.

[Mimi Dvorak]

So first deducham and then Adam has to read the stupid Kilo.

[Darren O'Neill]

It's to going Kilo Mic for you.

J.C. no, just what row are we on?

[Mimi Dvorak]

[J.C.]

[John C. Dvorak]

wow. Okay.

[J.C.]

When they moved to Minneapolis, his Jacob Dvorak was a sewer worker.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Well, that makes lots of sense. Okay, J.C. all right.

[J.C.]

All right.

[Darren O'Neill]

That's why you attracted so many ants.

[John C. Dvorak]

Yes.

[J.C.]

All right. Sir Paul from Twinkenham. Twinkenham Great Britain for 15 years, no agenda has brought me laughter, insects, insight and a sense of community. The news of John's passing made me sad beyond belief and I'll greatly miss his humor, grouchy comments and soothing voice. Love prayer. Sir Paul from Twinkenham Ray Jacobson Best critical thinker ever.

Mickey Keck.

[J.C.]

Mickey kick. Mickey Kick. Nothing. No note. Anna Reichard When I first met my now husband, I was a raging liberal minus the blue hair and TikTok rants. As a test, he tasked me to listen to no agenda in 2022. I mean, immediately I was hooked and began to shrink my amygdala. Simply put, this podcast changed my life. It made me laugh when the world felt so hopeless. It made me question when the media told me what to think. Thank you John for every Thursday and Sunday for the last four years. I've never been so grateful to someone I've never met.

[Adam Curry]

Another life saved.

[J.C.]

Yes, Ness works in Seattle. I lost my father in 2017. Blessed to be hit in the mouth by my close friend. During the COVID era, I gravitated to YouTube dudes. Every Thursday and Sunday, I threw my hat into the ring of art submissions, hoping to add value for value. As an art contributor, I appreciated and respected and was inspired by John's analysis and critiques of weekly art submissions. Adam as you know, when I sent y' all the funny video of your amazing hair that I captured off of an old VHS tape from the 89 MTV Awards, John's reply back was check the calendar. I had tears of laughter. Now I have tears of sorrow knowing how much we're all going to miss him. Prayer and loves Nessworks.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, Nessworks has done a lot of art for us.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah.

When I met John this year I was too stressed to ask him what it was like to work with Jared Taylor back in the 80s that Laura's lost to the cosmos. People, you need to remember you might not ever get a second chance. They are here and then they are not. Always remember the last time you see someone might be the last and treat them with that respect. My sincerest condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families and whoever actually knew them. Thank you for everything. Randy Lambert Lafayette, LA 8919 ER 8912 Rather hello first let me express my sympathy and sorrow for all Yalls loss. I have been an avid listener for 4 years. Joe Rogan sent me haha first time donating to the show. Sucks. It had to be under these circumstances. Can't imagine how it is to lose someone so special as he was that have known for so long. I'll keep you all on my thoughts and prayers. No need to read this on air. Well, too late if you don't want My own selfishness. Hopes the show goes on as it's one of the few things I have to look forward to whatever the good Lord has planned. Your brother in Christ Randy, you've been and de douched. Becca in Roanoke, Virginia Dear $88.96 Dear Adam and Mimi, we achieved our layaway night in Damehood last February, right around the time of John's surgery. Instead of claiming it right away, we decided to reserve it to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Also an 8 8. It feels a little hollow now with John's passing. Brian has been a loyal follower since 2010. After hearing John John promote the show on Twitter, Becca came around a bit later, around 2012. You've been in constant twice a week listen, inspiring many of our nine kids to repeat the jingles. Wow. Becca has often called John her spirit animal as we've lost track of the numerous times that she directs some story only to have John repeat the exact same comment moments later. Poor Brian. Since all of our donations have been under the $50 threshold, we both need a deduching Brian request to be named Sir Brian Knight of Dross Del Knock. He'd like Kergal's pickled Bologna and rennered Squeaky Cheek rendered Squeaky Cheese at the Round Table. Becca requests to be named Dame Contrarian Seeker of Truth and would like Cattleman's Steak and Donuts for the Round Table if jingles are permitted. We like Drone again and some R2D2 karma. It feels like we've lost a dear family friend Canalsis to Dvoraks Adams and everyone that John's life touched. Prayers for everyone.

[John C. Dvorak]

You've been de douched.

Hold on, we gotta one more you've

Onward emily allman 8889 J. Docherty doherty doherty doherty doherty Doherty 8889 I started listening to no Agenda in 2009. Prior to that I was a big fan of John's Cranky Geeks and prior to that I always enjoyed his naysayers coverage of the various tech expos. John was right. No one uses a mouse anymore. We love you John Rustwell Justin Ardeno 8889 no note these are all 8889 I suspect William Link Dave from Biera Some of the best pipes ever. Thoroughly enjoyed him casually changing the subject when he was uninterested in Adam's content being presented.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah I enjoyed enjoyed that.

[J.C.]

So much prank for JCD's family and Adam during your time of loss. Gone but never forgotten JCD Justin Kaler I came for Adam Curry. Stayed for both. I had never heard of JCD before no Agenda but I am extremely grateful for finding him through this podcast Covid wars or whatever the media spewed. JCD was there to buzz kill it. Rest in peace Buzzkill. Sir Justin of the Parlor City, Sir Rick Calcitrant, Crazy Steves II and David Same dream girl Rose thank you for letting me host JCD for our meetups every couple of months since October 2023. I would have started there sooner but I initially believed I need to be a knight to properly host. Boy was I wrong. I probably could have gotten away with being a douchebag and hosted one. I listened to my first yes yeah please see everyone can host anyone Yeah, I listened to my first full episode of no Gender during the episode 1300 Celebration in the middle of COVID and I was instantly converted by all comments the I since that was entering my ears. I later met John at my first meetup I ever attended in San Francisco at the New Belgium Brewery on May 15, 2021. After that I attended meetups hosted by Baron, Captain Luke and Noe Valley, hoping John would return, but he never did. I decided to start meetups at the Mallard Club to get him out of the house because I knew John lived somewhere nearby and the rest is history. I'm going to miss waiting for JCD to arrive at these meetups and handing him an envelope. However, I plan to keep these meetups going in John John's honor in Albany and Oakland. I'll be always grateful for these gatherings and the friendship I've formed through them. I wish John would have told me he was born in Fresno. I'm pretty sure I told him I went to Fresno State. That conversation can wait until I see him again in heaven. Rest in peace. God Bless jcd, the Dvorg family and the rest of the Gitmo Nation. All our love, Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II and Dame Dream Girl Rose Carl Otto Rosengvist Rosenthal Rosenquist. You said it.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hi.

[J.C.]

It took some seconds to parse the newsletter with the news about JCD's passing. As a quite grumpy person myself, I always found John a fellow group sure grouper. He will be remembered not only for that, but for what he was. A diamond with a thousand facets, every one unique. No more feet in the air and subs in the water in the future, but at least 180088 episodes of wisdom. I started somewhere around episode 40 and 50, so no Jed has been a vital part of my last 18 years. I've attached a reading of a donation I made six years ago after they removed a lump from my wife's stomach. I know what the fear of losing the one that who means the most and I'm happy that she's still around. Mimi, be strong. Let your family give you the energy you need to keep smiling. Kind regards, Carl Otto Mike Riley no no Circuit in Colleyville, Texas. This was not an approved exit strategy. My deepest condolences to Mimi, the Dvorak family and Adam. I've been listening since 2008 and have John and Adam to listen to. Each week has gotten me through the goods and bad times, the ups and downs in my life and when I just needed to hear the Deconstruction of the mainstream news. Hearing John's perspective stories, recipes and wine tips are always a highlight of the show for me and will be truly missed. Hopefully. Na no Jeddah will continue in some form. Dare I say four more years. Adam, we support you in whatever comes next. Godspeed and rest in peace. JCD Security Night of the Cybers Jingle Request Spooky Donate and I just want

[Adam Curry]

to thank Mike Riley with who came just before this. Mike Riley, super famous cartoonist who has done a lot of art for us. I think John even had some sent to him. Might have. Might even be on the wall somewhere.

[J.C.]

It might be, well, might be. There's so many, so much stuff on Texas. Oh, wait, no. Edward Bala in Shulk. Devastating news. Rest in peace, John, and thank you for your courage. Courage. I'll do two more and then I'll hand it off. Yep.

[Adam Curry]

Oh, picky, picky.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Well, just saying.

[Adam Curry]

John was a voice of guidance, says Anthony. He likely never thought about his impact. I emulate his skepticism and the no agenda deconstruction information in my daily life. Michael Rankin, rest in peace to Alinga by Thursdays and Sundays will never be the same. Condolences to the Dvorak clan. Nick Foster, JCD has left a lasting impact on the world. Thomas Karen from Egan, Minnesota. Dear Adam and Dvorak family, Sundays and Thursdays will never be the same. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[John C. Dvorak]

88.

[Adam Curry]

88. Thank you, sir Brian with an I.

[Mimi Dvorak]

What about when Miller?

[Adam Curry]

Oh, I'm sorry, when Miller? You said that just like John. That pissed me off so much. Like what about when Miller? Well, I missed Wen Miller. Okay, okay. Well, it's amazing. What about what about when Miller? What would you like to tell me about when Miller? I gotta tell you, it made me so mad. What about when Miller. Okay, okay.

[John C. Dvorak]

I like him.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Suck.

[Adam Curry]

What about what about is I? There's nothing wrong with Wen Miller. I just skipped it. I'm sorry. Okay, thank you. Thank you for keeping that going, Sir Brian with an I. One thing that always made me happy is that John always responded to my emails with laughter. My favorite one was a couple months ago when you guys were talking about selling beer that tastes like your armpits. I don't remember this product. I immediately emailed John and told him that his flavor has to be called it's no Sweat Off My Balls. He got a good laugh, but I was sad that I didn't get to hear it. And with that, I say goodbye to you my friend on the other end. Godspeed, Sir. Brian with an Eye Chris Kincaid, Tyler, Texas John will be deeply missed Praying for comfort and peace for the Dvoraks, for Adam, and for no age and the nation. It will be a different world without John twice a week. Rory Buska from Novi, Michigan Devastated beyond belief at losing John.

Rest in peace John. Definitely not crying sarcasm PBR jingle for some old time sake. Yes at the end makes me think of JCD Sir JB of the Chesapeake Bay, Clarksville, Maryland My condolences to Dvorak and Curry families as well as Noah Genation. We lost a great man this week and person who had a profound impact on how I view the world. I can't express my thanks enough to John and Adam for keeping me entertained and most importantly sane over the the last 17 years. I heard Adam on the Howard stern show in 2010 and that led me to start listening and probably have missed under 10 episodes over the last 17 years. I never looked at the news the same again as a fitting tribute. I was almost exactly $88 away from becoming a Viscount and with his passing it seems fitting to do 8888 to push me over the top. I plan on being at the Round Table and would like some peppery ants in honor of John. Yes yes yes. My birthday is August 8th and I always enjoyed when Mimi and John's anniversary came around as I knew the show would talk about 8A God Bless the Dvoraks, Adam and all the producers. Thank you for your courage. Viscount JB of the Chesapeake Bay and Northern Pennsylvania. Mike Robinson Salem, Oregon John like short notes he will be missed itm he loved that. Commodore Tech Guy Ty Somerville, Tennessee I met John in 2001 at TechTV when he got me in for a taping of screensavers. John, you are Silent Key but live on via the producer 73's God's Blessings. Commodore Tech Guy Ty November Juliet X88X Ray from Somerville, Tennessee Mike Beal we will miss you John. Mayumi Akiyama from Tottori in Japan thank you for show 1888. It stirred up many emotions. I just feel really really sad. But I'm grateful that I the show a few years ago. I want to go back and listen to all the past shows. Anthony Rena Simpsonville, South Carolina thank you for your courage. JCD Rest in Peace David Oliver so sorry for the Dvorak family loss. JCD was truly a one of a kind. I will miss him after 30 plus years of reading his material. Rest in peace Sir Smash of the Lone Wolves in Meppel in the Netherlands Stay strong all Renee to Buck Sir Smash of the Lone Wolves, Beppel, the Netherlands Micah Farrell I found John on Twitter and after numerous mentions of the no Agenda show, I finally started listening. With only a brief hiatus I could not stop listening. I came back for the news and stayed for the entertainment. John truly will be missed. From Micah William Kozu, Phoenix, Arizona John and Adam have been part of my life for 10 years. Even though I never had the opportunity to meet jcd, I still feel like I knew him. I'm so sad to hear about his passing and will miss him dearly. Adam, My condolences to you on the Dvoraks. Sir Michael, Wisconsin Knight of the Pipe Greetings Mimi and Adam. I'm deeply saddened to hear about John's passing. I hope you will find some peace and comfort during this difficult time. I will truly miss his antics and unique rants on the show. Sincerely, Sir Michael, Wisconsin Night of the Pipe he once has some hot pockets. Sandy the Knight who says nigh Castle Grand Knee. Knee. Oh, knee. Yes, yes, I see the pronunciation. Who says knee?

Sir JMO Black Baron Lewinson, Idaho Rest in peace JCD from Serjemo dude named Muhammad gave us a lot of boots on the ground. My deepest condolences to the Dvorak family, to Adam, and to the Gitmo Nation community. John pulled me into this world from twit and from that moment on he never stopped challenging me. Over time I became a producer in every sense, whether it was boots on the ground, artwork, design, or being knighted. I always cherished exchanging ideas with John and Adam, and it meant a great deal to me when some of my thoughts resonated with John. The only exception was his endless wine tips, which I kept playfully protesting as a Muslim. Rest in peace John the Great Buzzkill. Thank you for your co courage, dude named Muhammad. Jeff Coleman, Waterville, Minnesota I heard about John's passing from Black Light Black Knight Jason Lane of Clear Creek Canyon, Wednesday afternoon shortly after I rushed home to my wife in labor. It was like a gut punch. I was introduced to no agenda in late 2015 by Jason. It was critical in my escape from leftism. I immediately took to John's wit, knowledge and storytelling. I never met him, but truly loved the man my wife gave birth to. Our third home birth human resource at 7:33pm 8 pound 8 ounce boy. Not making either of those numbers up.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Wow.

[Adam Curry]

John was already on our short list of names, but hearing of John's passing cemented it for me. See picture attached of John Coleman moments after birth as beautiful. I'm devastated that I won't hear John's voice going forward, but take a little solace at the show. Archives remain. May his memory be eternal. Jeff Coleman chet Sinclair Wauwatosa, Wisconsin 8888 to help build the statue. Okay, sure thing, Edward New no note, but we thank you Commodore Doder. Ah, I love our military guys. Commodore Doder of the South Gulf Fleet Dvorak family and Adam, my son texted me the news while I was traveling back home from my wife and I's 25th anniversary trip. first I didn't believe it. Then I saw the newsletter and was immediately convinced this wasn't a donor nation ploy by John. My wife hit me in the mouth several hundred episodes ago and have not missed a single one. My oldest son and I often discuss the episodes whenever we had a chance to chat. We love the show. Given John's larger than life Persona and his apparently infinite pool of knowledge of literally every subject, I always assumed he'd always be here, entertaining with stories and broadening our horizons. His perspective on life is something I will always remember fondness Even in the most turbulent times and when most people become frantic and anxious, John will bring a calming energy to the conversation with wit, sarcasm and a touch of grumpiness and everything would seem okay. Though I never met him or had dinner at his house, I enjoyed email conversations with him on some topics I'd given some boots on the ground reports on. He was very and he was very interesting and insightful. He has certainly made a lasting impact on my life and I will miss hearing his voice each week. Dvorak family and Adam, please know we share in your story sadness and offer our condolences and prayers for comfort during this difficult time. I pray God grants you strength and peace. John, you are a hero to many, including me. Thank you for all the wonderful wisdom, insightful analysis and hilarious commentary over the years. You were a national treasure and will miss you very much.

And there's Dame Nancy of the Confused. Adam has been steadfast helping all of us through this. Please keep him in your prayers. ITM Dame Nancy of the Confused thank you Robert schweitzer for your 8888 from Fairfield, Ohio. Chris O', Brien, Boston, Massachusetts I can't believe he's no longer with us all. I miss John greatly. I've been a listener since Show 100 and been following John John since his days on Silicon Spin. His contrarian and well researched viewpoints always taught me a thing or two and he never failed to make me laugh. You will always be remembered fondly. Rest in peace John from Chris o', Brien, Boston, Massachusetts Wilhelm Martins from Harrow, Ontario no jingles, no karma. Tyler Getz I discovered the show as a teenager and as such have been listening to no Agenda my entire adult life. In many ways I I feel like John raised me. Poor child. I am truly blessed to have experienced his perspective, humor and wisdom. He will be sorely missed. And there is Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Archduke of Luna, Lover of America and Boobs with an 8888 ITM sound guy. Steve made a melon song using JCD's readings of my donation notes. Thank you. I have to look that one up. Jacob from Dusan in Pittsfield, Massachusetts Podcasting has made John eternal. Anyone can listen to his shows and learn just how awesome he was. My heartfelt condolences go out to all Mark Christie Mose, your, Oregon really learned a ton from listening to John C. Dvorak. Rest in Peace to a legend, Baron OG Godcaster this is Steve Webb and Lady Leanne from Riverside, California. Known him forever to me. JCD was a lovable curmudgeon. He could be cantankerous, gruff and crusty, but these were well earned traits formed by years of dealing with the nonsense his finely honed sensibility so easily detected. He was sometimes frustrating to listen to but impossible to stay mad at for long. I've been a fan for 40 years, first discovering him with his PC Magazine column, which became the first thing I would read with each new issue. As so many have already said, John, I will miss you. The lovely Lady Leanne and I are praying for the Dvorak family, Adam and Tina, and everyone who knew John and loved him. Adam, we're specifically praying for wisdom as you decide on no agenda's nets next step. P.S. if I didn't know better, I would say John paid us a visit this past Monday night for the first time in a very long time. Our kitchen was inundated with ants.

[Darren O'Neill]

You bet.

[Adam Curry]

Yeah, Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. No doubt the show is already too long by the time you get to reading this note, but after listening to Six Plus Hours of Show 1888, it dawned on me that a huge, huge opportunity was missed. So here goes. Adios mofos Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. Thank you Jacob schultz from Strasburg, Illinois for your 8888. Jason Shepard. I still can't believe it. I've only been listening for about six years, but JCD and no Agenda have had such a profound effect on my life. I don't even know what to say other than I'm sorry and my heart goes out to everyone in gitmonation. Brent Stadt in Huntsville, Ontario Mourn ye not o' er my departure. Mourn ye not, I go upon a journey. Mourn ye not, my journey is eternal. From Little Wapamio island on Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park. Thank you for sharing John with us. Nigel and Karen Ewan from Columbus, Ohio. I remember meeting John in the legendary Sacramento Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories about refineries and met manner of things from the observation car of the on the California Zephyr. It's one of my most cherished memories. God bless. From Oscar's Wait, I I skipped over. Hold on. Nigel and Karen Ewan Sorry. We have listened to no Agenda for many years. We're on a six. No Agenda baby. There you go. Is one of them named Adam? Finally, John was a king. We keep crying when we rinse grease down the drain or say for some reason unknown reason and much love Nigel and Karen Ewan. Now Oscar Z. I remember meeting John on the legendary Sacramento Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories about refineries and manner of things from the observation car in the California Zephyr. One of my most cherished memories. God Bless Oscar Z. So Rain man rest in peace. JCD Cuitm thank you for your courage. We will miss you. Prayers for knowledge in the nation. Connection is protection. Love is lit. No gift singles no karma from Sir Rain Man Simon Zion Xiong jcd It was a pleasure listening to you these last six years and you will truly be missed. Your wisdom, knowledge and candor has helped me understand the world a little better and made me a better person. For that I thank you. Thank you Arthur Silguero for your $88.88 donation. Sir Brian Wright of Mobile Bay in Mobile, Alabama. He says somewhat similar to John I can be be a bit of an archivist. Oh boy. I was hit in the mouth by my college roommate while the first episode mp3 I still have archived on my machine is for episode 177 on February 25, 2010 Though I know I listened before then Mimi, JC Jay and the rest of the Dvorak family. You have my Deepest sympathies, love and prayers, Adam, Andrew and the others in the Buzzkills extended family. You also have my deepest sympathy. These love and prayers. I could write a lot more, but it was a huge honor to finally earn my knighthood and hear my name in the list. I hit people in the mouth, but I should have hit more. I've been on the $12 monthly pan for years and I should have donated more. I intended to send notes along the way about episode topics mentioned, but I didn't. After losing a few close friends and family over the last couple of years, I've been more cognizant of late that our time together is limited. I continue to cherish all the many hours I spent listening to the best podcast in the universe and have been never skipped a donation segment. I raise a glass of Costco Bordeaux to John's enduring memory along with everyone else in the Noah Jenna family. Being a Southerner, we hug our friends. So I send out a virtual hug to you, Mimi, Adam, JCJ, Andrew, and all of no Agenda. There's Marty McFly.

[Darren O'Neill]

I'll.

[Adam Curry]

I'll do Marty. I got Marty, okay? He's from Cool gardy Western Australia.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah. Not Washington, Western Australia. There you go.

[Adam Curry]

Dear Mimi, Adam and the rest of the Noah Jenna family. January Last year, I got hit in the mouth of my friend's wedding by one of his friends. I'd met this guy a couple of times before and was always fascinated by his analysis of geopolitical issues. So I decided to ask the guy where he got his news from, and he said sternly, well, there's one show and one show only. It's no Agenda. From that day on, I started listening to every show, and no Agenda became a part of my life. John's witty, sometimes cynical remarks would crack me up, and I found myself unconsciously repeating his words out loud in public. Yeah, this is a scam. His stories from back in the day made me feel like I was listening to the grandfather I never had. For many, he was an anchor in the roaring sea of bull crap we have to set sail in every every day. I know he was for me. It brings me joy to hear the positive impact he had on so many lives, and I'm grateful for the way he touched my life. Together. You guys have changed the media landscape and your work has paved the way for future podcasters and inspired me to start my own podcast on food. I hope by this time John is stirring up the golden gates with his wit while offering some of the finest wines American retailers have to offer. Thanks for everything JCD.

[J.C.]

You.

[Adam Curry]

You will be missed. Much love, Marty McFly Sir Ben of

I discovered no agenda in the contrived dark winter of 2021 when it helped lift my spirits amidst the emergency mask dystopia. At first I thought Adam and John were an odd pairing. I didn't understand why the voice of Generation X would choose this grouchy old tech reviewer of all people.

[Adam Curry]

Face of Generation X. Okay, the face of Generation X

[Darren O'Neill]

as his co host it I think you're technically a boomer actually.

[Adam Curry]

Shut up Brennan.

[J.C.]

No,

[John C. Dvorak]

stop.

[Darren O'Neill]

Took time for my palate to discern the complex flavor notes of John's personality, his idiosyncrasies, stories, offbeat timing and a diabolical love of trolling I can't imagine with no agenda will be like without him. Rest in peace, jcd.

It's unbelievable how that happens. JB of the Chesapeake Bay celebrates on August 8th. Well, there you go. We say happy birthday to you from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.

[John C. Dvorak]

Feels the same.

[Adam Curry]

And right here is where I'm going to bring you all of those jingle requests that everybody requested.

[Darren O'Neill]

Well, before we do that, I have I think I've got one last thing to say.

[Adam Curry]

Just go for it. John, tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane.

[John C. Dvorak]

I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it will result in fights breaking out because it's just so annoying to watch. Guy takes his bag of peanuts and he throws a pile of them into his palm of his hand. And then he makes a fist around the nuts, around the nuts. And then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole. And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his fist, from his fist. Then he does it again. He shakes and throws and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to watch.

[Adam Curry]

They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a bitcoin. You've got donate, donate, donate.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Karma.

[John C. Dvorak]

The only good phone's a landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite. Give it up for Raven.

[J.C.]

To the gate. To the gate.

[Adam Curry]

To the planet Gates.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Amen.

[Adam Curry]

Just about. I said, what in the world is this? Turn down your speakers. Orange man.

[John C. Dvorak]

Bad.

[Adam Curry]

Flying over Afghanistan. Or maybe it was Pakistan. I promised myself to aim myself at every woman, child and man. That was on my list. I don't care if I missed. I'm remote controlled. I do what I'm told by someone at a computer. Obama gave me a push more than Bush, and I cost millions. I'm supposed to target terrorists, but not so much civilians. I don't know what to say. Whoops. Some got in my way. But a drone again, naturally. A drone again, naturally. Taps through ribbon.

[John C. Dvorak]

I got ants. I got ants. I don't know if you had a, you know, ants. We had ant invasion. I was thinking if you. If you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine, fine grind of black pepper. We were having dinner and, yeah, I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it. These things are peppery. I got ants, I got ants. These ants, they don't need a lot. And then, you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around, backed them up by doing the burning trick is torch them and you leave them there. The only ant. There are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch, and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back. I got ants. I got ants. I got ants. I got ants. Ants, ants, ants.

[Adam Curry]

Oh.

[John C. Dvorak]

Oh.

[Adam Curry]

They're not that bad.

[John C. Dvorak]

Hot Pockets. You slaves can get used to. Mac and cheese, Mac and cheers. Pepperoni and cheap cheddar melted together.

[Adam Curry]

Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese, everybody. There you go. Beautiful.

[Mimi Dvorak]

Yeah. I have a tip of the day. Don't read for that many hours.

[John C. Dvorak]

There's a tip.

[Adam Curry]

There's a tip, everybody.

[J.C.]

That's why we split it up.
