I love Max Velocity. Larry Blytner. Darren O'Neill. It's Thursday,
July 30th, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination
episode 1890. This is no agenda. And we're broadcasting live
from just outside of Chirac, right here in the FEMA
region number five in the morning, everybody. I am Darren
O'Neill. And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry
Blytner, keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming
scimitar of truth. Ruth! It's Darren and Larry. In the
morning. Yeah. That was weird. That was stimulating, especially those
dropouts. Was that just on my end? I double clicked.
That was the problem. Sometimes you single click, sometimes you
double click. But when it's live, baby, it is live.
It's live. So you get your single mistake out of
the way. Now you'll be perfect for the rest of
the show. Everything's going to be great. People are like,
who are these guys? What is going on? We're not
telling them anything. They have to ask us. It's a
secret. I understand. This is the show must go on.
This is the time. Thursdays and Sundays. Right now, no
agenda happens no matter what. No matter what. And with
the sad passing of John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry needs
a couple of weeks off. And he asked the two
kids that just wanted to go joyride the car if
they wanted to do the show. I wasn't gonna say
no. And you couldn't say no for me. I speak
for myself. We've been doing a little show called Planet
Rage for the last five years, five years at the
end of August. Isn't that amazing? And we basically stole
the whole no agenda vibe. We did a clip show.
We was originally like no agenda. We were originally going
to do like an hour show. Yeah. Keep it short.
Just bring clips that made us mad. But that sounds
awful when you say steal, because there was more. We
kind of tumbled into it, Darren, right? It's an homage.
Yeah, but I mean, you were doing this other show,
right, with Sir Bemrose, and then you guys had a
falling out, or creative differences, as they say in Hollywood,
right? And then you had the kindness and fortitude to
ask me if I wanted to fill in, but of
course, I'm no Ben. Not even a little. And then
you said, well, why don't we just do no agenda?
Okay, let's do that. Right? Is that correct? Am I
remembering correctly? It's like, here's the concept. It works. Yeah.
We just added anger management issues to the joke that
I've been going with for the last... Poorly managed. A
couple of years. Because, I mean, normally we're a little
saltier, but we don't have to be. No, we know
this is more of a family audience, so we'll keep
it kind of in check. We'll try to warn you
if there are any F-bombs coming up. And there's been
some from politicians this week, which was kind of fun.
Yes, there have. Isn't that fabulous? Yeah. But the world
works in very strange ways. and the way Larry and
I got together is no different. Oh, it's bizarre. Kicking
off. Well, Larry needed help with some audio gear and
I just happened to do a... video review of it
on Amazon and YouTube. I think you saw it on
Amazon. I saw it on Amazon. It was about a
preamp. that I needed, and there was this guy. PBX,
you know, and it's 200 bucks, but 200 bucks is
200 bucks. And so there was this, this guy saying,
you know, if you want to know more about this,
just was like, email me or come over. How did
that work? Was it through Amazon? I don't even remember.
I don't know, but you, cause I had the reviews
email address set up at the time. Cause that's when
Amazon was letting you get free stuff to do reviews
and all that. And Larry asked the question and rather
than being a, you know, miscreant, I was like, no,
I can answer. And you did. And it just kind
of, Went from there. He's like, hey, I do this
podcast. So I started checking out That Larry Show, thatlarryshow.com.
And I was at that point, actually. not doing a
show at all and there was a buddy of mine
that wanted to do a show we had done a
few episodes but then that kind of went by the
wayside i had the Retina blowout, five retinal surgeries, lost
most of the vision in my right eye. So if
I'm slow at reading the notes... The left eye isn't
great either, floaters and that kind of stuff. And I
can hear in my ear. The producer in the sky,
John C. Dvorak, going, yeah, use the eye thing. It's
good for donations. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. Plus, let's tell
everybody you look like a pirate. I should wear the
eye patch. It would be a fashion accessory like the
guy from the 80s that did that round and round
song. There was that weird video. But I hadn't been
doing a show and Larry's the one that's like, dude,
just do it solo-mento. Do a solo show. You know,
like when Adam tells stories about you, I try to
do the low voice and it doesn't work, but... Well,
it's true. And because I guarantee you would never be
disappointed. A guest that didn't show. And have you been?
No. Troop. So I started doing random thoughts. which I'm
still doing 370 whatever it is episodes into that. And
that is a solo show, which is anybody that's done
one will tell you way harder than a show with
somebody else. Pretty much, yeah. So it kind of helped
me go through all of these things. And while I
was face down for, I'm forgetting even how many weeks
it was totally, but I'm remembering like 12 weeks because
it's normally just two or three, but then they had
to redo the surgery and redo the surgery. And it
wasn't until I found a better surgeon that they finally
got the retina to stay up. But then the vision
was pretty much gone. While being face down 24 hours
a day, which also meant sleeping face down with your
head in a donut. I remember JCD reading my note
when I made a donation right afterwards and was like,
oh. Because, yeah, it's no fun. No, I can't be
good. But I spent a lot of time... During those
weeks listening to podcasts, and I'd already been a semi-regular
No Agenda fan, but this kind of took it into...
full orbit which the oddest thing when you're kind of
like sleep deprived having those earphones in falling asleep face
down with the podcast on I remember having multiple dreams
where it was like I was in the room with
Adam and John. And it happened with the Tell Them
Steve Get Dave guys as well who I was listening
to that podcast too. Were you all clothed in this
room? Yes. Yes, everybody was totally clothed. but it was
like I was a part of the conversation. And while
I'm dreaming, I'm answering and arguing, but of course they
can't hear me because it's a podcast and it's not
live and I'm not really there. But that's how that
all came to be. Random thoughts came to be. And
then I went to Void Zero, the guy that keeps
everything running for the No Agenda show. And I'm like,
dude, I've got this podcast. I mean, how do I
get it on the Mighty No Agenda stream? And he's
like, go to Sir Benbrow's. And I'm like, oh, Jesus.
I mean, I didn't know Bembrose then, so I'm just
remembering now I should have got that. All right. So
that got added to the stream. Mark Von Dyke void
zeros was doing the music show before no agenda. And
he started having his kids and his family. And he's
like, you want to take over for a few weeks?
Ah. In 700 and some odd episodes of the... The
rock and roll pre-show later. Here we are. Here we
are. And then you brought me into, you hit me
in the mouth. Yeah. About Noah Jenner. And here's what
gets extra crazy. It was right at ground zero of
the scandemic. And here we are now back, and it's
sort of reared its head, its flaming head, with the
Fauci furor that's going on right now, which is really
kind of bizarre and providential, I think. It is a
very interesting look because we always figured we're going to
get some kind of information on that. And there's plenty
of that to dissect here today. But we just wanted
to let everybody know who we are, why we're here.
Adam needed a couple of weeks off. And I don't
know what's happening after that. I don't think Adam knows
what's happening after that as of yet. But the guy
needed a break. And if there's one thing we've noticed
with, any podcast when you take a week off even
when you try to run a best of or something
like that people kind of tune out and they don't
really pay much attention and we were more than happy
to fill in because it seems very natural today adam's
like why are you feeling them like it feels like
a regular show with way more clips and way more
donations yeah That's kind of the aspect there. And so,
yeah, when I went to you and said, hey, listen
to this, no agenda, you're like Adam Curry, the MTV
guy. So it's a very interesting thing because you were
definitely coming into this knowing Adam, but not knowing John
C. Dvorak, where I knew Adam because I saw it
had Banger's Ball and all that on MTV. But I
was the guy with the computer at 12 years old
and playing with all this stuff in the 80s. So
Dvorak was the thing that brought me in. I guess
it all, uh... It all comes full circle, I suppose.
It sure does. Very strange. And the universe works in
very weird ways. It does. It's glorious. The only time
I'd ever spoken to this many people, and hello, Gitmo
Nation, thank you for letting us come into your ears
today. Yes, thank you one and all. Thank you, producers,
which we plan to convert to plaintiffs. No, just kidding.
Criminals, right. Exactly. The only time was I won a
radio contest back in the day. to go in and
do these sports on the loop. FF98 for one segment.
So it was like 15 minutes. because the guy that
normally did the sports was on vacation. The guy that
I went in to do his show was the great
Jonathan Brandmeier, Johnny B. Johnny B. So when I tuned
in to No Agenda again around that time of the
eye surgery, it's like I noticed that the, and I
don't know how far back it goes. But the voice
that you hear or have heard at the beginning of
every no agenda up until today. That said, it's Crackpot
and Buzzkill! That's Johnny B. So it's like this was
just a very weird full circle moment for me as
well. Because if it wasn't for Johnny B. I would
have never start playing with microphones and pretending I'm doing
radio shows and all of that. Oh, dude. When I
was like 10, 12, whatever he hit Chicago in high
school, it was slightly before. I would get up at
like five in the morning in the summertime just to
listen to Johnny's show on the loop because it was
hilarious. So he was your unknowing mentor. no doubt about
it. So when I heard his voice at the beginning
of every No Agenda, I'm like, huh. This is interesting.
Yeah. So the universe, I don't even try to figure
out exactly why things happen at this point. I just
go with them and say they happen for a reason.
Well, it happened even again yesterday when we were doing
Planet Rage. And for some reason I mentioned the robot
from Lost in Space, Dr. Smith, and you kind of
chimed in on that. At the same time, Adam and
the preacher were discussing the same robot from the same
show. Pastor Jimmy released an episode called Danger Will Robinson,
and we were just doing the Danger Will Robinson bit.
Very strange. What are the odds? I don't know. And
I will say, my anxiety level on Sunday when the
announcement was made was not much. I figured I'm doing
a show. I'm used to talking. If there's one thing
I'm good at, it's talking. Monday came on, Adam's sending
me all the information that I need. He set up,
this guy is beyond a vibe coder. He has created
a podcasting system that he could probably have an exit
strategy and make a lot of money with. And he
was hooking me up with this. And I'm like, oh,
dude, this is awesome. This is great. I got to,
you know, get out of here. I got to go.
The wife's coming home for lunch and then I'm doing
Planet Rage. And it's like, great. The wife's walking in
the door. Her phone's going off with a tornado warning.
No big deal. That happens here all the time. by
like 20 to 1 20 minutes before planet rage would
have started it was darker than night and the storm
that hit here was of epic proportions 100 mile an
hour plus winds power went out which the anxiety level
went like way higher because the last time the power
went out at my parents house it was out for
four days and i'm like i don't have four days
And it took like 29, 30 hours. I think the
power was out. So, okay, that came back on. But
then... We missed a couple of planet rages. And I
said to Larry, I'm like. I mean, you don't think
Dvorak would send, like, tornadoes and stuff to try to
keep me from doing the show, would you? And Larry's
like, yeah, I do. I think he probably would. It's
all because... I trolled him with music and... Brenda Christensen,
I think her name was. If I'm messing that up,
I apologize. Did a really nice. obituary for the late
great John C. Dvorak where she mentioned one that he
hated ABBA with a passion. So the fact that I
played dancing queen for him one day, I knew I
hit. Oh. But she also said he had a mad
crush on Britney Spears. And I'm like, I could have
used this information. KCD gave me so much crap for
being a Taylor Swift fan. They had a mad crush
on Britney Spears? Like that is, I could have used
that information. That is good trolling information right there. Now
we know. You got the last laugh. I don't. That
was his plan all along, no doubt about it. Who
knows what'll fly out of the sky and bonk you
in the back of the head, Darren. I looked. I've
never been seen by any tornadoes. There was one. that
they po-
The path of the tornado that hit. Two miles away.
Oh my goodness, there were some of these storms that
I've seen on the Max Velocity channel. There was like
30, 40, 50 storm chasers all on the same storm.
I'm like, how can there be so many of you?
And who pays them, Max Velocity or YouTube? Well, he
would pay some of them to be a part of
his network, but otherwise there's a lot. their own YouTube
channels. Wow. Think of a car, maybe an old Lexus,
you know, put some big panels on the outside. So
when you're driving through a tornado, you could not. doesn't
flip over. I mean, that was just some crazy damage
in the area. So we were totally blessed that the
house is still standing. The only problem we had was
the power going out. There were a lot of people
not so lucky, very close to here. Appleton, Wisconsin. Just
absolutely. But now that everybody knows who we are, let's
get to the Anthony Fauci bit. Okay. Fauci is an
interesting character, and I understand why they're going after him.
Well, sure. But you know, I mean, it's all politics
at this point. It's not going to go anywhere. I
mean, it's meaning... community. turn on stage, resigning the light,
the lines he chose. Now he's on the other side
and it's, you know, it's all these and, and, and.
to wax poetic. What struck me about this is, if
you think, you've got two and a half centuries. of
legislative frivolity going on here. And that entire time, I
think this is the absolute zenith of comedy in American
government. Nothing. He took the Fifth Amendment. So this is
even better. Yeah. Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment
111 times. Once hailed as the nation's savior, got pummeled
today as he pleaded the fifth a grand total of
111 times. Obviously, he invoked. I met Ryan. not once,
but 111 times. Yeah, more than 70 times pleading the
Fifth. More than 70 times he invoked his right under
the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. them up and gave
111 every time they announced it but that was cnn
then CNN says, oh, over 70. What do you mean?
right? Simply. It shows you why the... A lot of
what came out of was fairly interesting. One of the
things that was new to me in his diary was
his admission that he got a pulmonary infarction. very highly
publicized press conference. They showed people that were safe. one
of the primary most expected adverse events Potentially deadly blood
clots in his lung, mitocardial infarction. He kept that secret
from the American. Yeah, well, I think a lot of
the left doesn't want to. clown that he is. you
know, with flashing lights. The evil buffoon. Yes. And, you
know, we're hearing about this, but there's, unfortunately, there's very
little audio. There was a thing of Julia Roberts with
him. I'm sure a lot of people saw a clip
of that. But it's what Fauci said to himself about
all this that I think is so fascinating. very brief
entries that I plucked out from, I think it was
like an 1100 page PDF. It was, it was a
huge document, all this crap that, uh, that I think
that people might enjoy hearing. I don't know. Yeah. Right.
Why not? I would think this is the inner look
at to what this guy was thinking, which the over
seems the overall. Seems to be that he was way
more in. The being America's doctor rather. right? Had a
wonderful Instagram. She was absolutely fabulous. She embarrassed me somewhat
when I... Boom. She put her hands in front of
a mountain and said, oh my God, it's Dr. Fauci.
He is here. And she went on to say that
I was her personal hero. she was to have this
conversation with me. Great experience. And February 23rd, 2021. Had
a great call with Barbra Streisand. She called my cell
at 6:05 p.m. She has recently had plaster lesion on
her buttock. This is in his diary? This is in
his diary. Did people only shoot one side of her
face? photographs. And now Fauci's ratted her out that she's
got a lesion on her arm. So Saffatchi goes on
to say, she has post-sostum neuralgia down her leg, but
the primary... has healed she wanted to know if it
was okay to get them an ra vaccine i told
her yes we then stared we went and started discussing
life in general i told her that i worked listening
to her Alexa. She really did not know what Alexa
was. I accidentally butt dialed her later in the evening
and she said, me anyways. I wanted to know if
there was any difference between the Moderna and Pfizer product.
I told her none. I then explained to her more
about Alexa. I brought the phone over to Alexa and
asked it to play song. Bombers dry sand. When the
song came on loud and clear, she started laughing and
absolutely loved it. Wow. How about that? Verbatim. I'm not...
This is right out of his diary. And here's this
one. extraordinary and memorable evening last night at the Kennedy
Center, Joan Baez invited me to court on the occasion
of her receiving the Kennedy Center medallion. Finally, I got
to meet her in person. After the year-long building up
of our friendship via texts and phone calls, she is
absolutely amazing, warm, an endearing person, and our friendship was
cemented last night as it became clear. were, as I
said, meant for each other. by the attention. paid to
me by all the celebrities who much they were appreciative
of what I'd been doing. A typical example was Garth
Brooks' wife, Trisha Yearwood, who was just meet me. The
same was true for many other people. Debbie Allen and
Broadway legend Chita Rivera as well as Dick Van Dyke.
I got to escort Joan up to the stage to
receive her award and I sat with her as she
waited to go on the stage. After the ceremony, we
all went outside. It was a spectacular evening. He seems
very verbose for a guy who wouldn't answer any questions.
Word for word, baby. I mean, this guy's got some
serious kinks in his head. Why was he even writing
this down during the pandemic? I mean, why is he
writing this to himself? I mean, he knows what happened.
I mean, holy shit. And this was obviously, why was
this? they apparently this wasn't handwritten in some journal this
was you know perhaps I don't know, but obviously, It's
been very clear that he thinks Anthony Fauci is a
criminal. The Biden pardon, which was probably signed by the
auto pen, seems to give him immunity, which. Eddie, because
they couldn't legally hold him responsible. The only way he
was going to get himself in trouble was if they
could then prove he lied in his answers, which. you
This session which I was watching and it was kind
of It was also kind of sad. Thank you, Mr.
Chairman. like taking the fifth, huh, Doc? Let's try something.
What day of the week is it today? you On
the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based
upon my rights under the fifth... On the advice of
counsel. I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights
under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. What color's the
carpet in front of you? Good questions. Yeah. On the
advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer. you there's
a public servant now interestingly enough that you brought this
up remember at that hearing he had according to rand
paul there were six attorneys accompanying him right five sitting
behind him and then one next to him who got
thrown out because he couldn't keep his mouth shut which
was very funny but you know there's always And this
is the woman on CNN that said there were 112
uses of the
And he thinks Fauci did himself a tremendous disservice. taking
the fifth and you can hear him blather in Fauci
number two. Law prof says Fauci goofed. Yeah, and I
don't know how you wouldn't because... It is... What everybody
just assumed, it's like when you hear mobsters, oh, we're
taking the fifth. Well, it's because you have to be
a criminal. Yeah. for the pardon in all likelihood. He's
pardoned for all actions before January 2025. But that also
means that you're forced to testify. That's how prosecutors use
immunity or pardons. And they say, now you're forced to
testify because you don't have any criminal liability, what we're
going to ask you about. So then to plead the
fifth is actually, he could then be held in contempt.
There could be, theoretically at least, a Justice Department that
goes after him for not answering when he is not
really facing that criminal charge. Yeah, and also when the
reason put out is perjury traps, then of course, again,
to the layperson, it's saying, well, why wouldn't you just
say the truth? What would be the problem in that?
So, you know, I understand that's a layperson thing, but
it doesn't sound good. That doesn't sound good. But I'll
say this. Like I said, this is the biggest comedic
event in the history of the United States government. No
question about it. And Fauci, I think he's missing a
huge opportunity because had he played that correctly and not
listened to his attorneys, he would be getting a residency
at Caesar's Palace and they'd come to him with a
blank goddamn check. Whatever you say, Tony, fill in the
number yourself. guy, okay? He could have launched himself past
the likes of Kinison and Carlin, really. And here's how.
Fauci number three, this is what Fauci should have said
to Josh Hawley when he was trying to rattle him.
Yeah, we got his clip too, because it's very interesting,
back and forth, because you knew the game that was
being played. Yeah, it's a different version. Well, nothing says
honesty like taking the fifth, huh, Doc? Let's try something.
What day of the week is it today? Thursday. I
know that because it was always a Thursday when I
met your mother at the Holiday Inn. What color tie
are you wearing? What color is your tie? Looks like
puke. What color is the carpet in front of you?
Brown. Like the skid marks in your BVDs. Okay. Very
realistic Fauci. Huh? It's a very realistic Fauci. Yeah. If
Fauci had done that, he'd be the biggest star on
the planet right now. But he didn't do bad. Well,
and he wouldn't have walked himself into any perjury traps
and. When you constantly take the fifth, you look guilty.
When they know that they can't prosecute him for anything,
really the only thing... the Republicans have going after him.
is to do what they can to destroy his public
image. And I think they did a pretty good job
of that. Oh, yeah. Because he sat there and just
was like, I don't know. And again, the question is...
Can they really do anything because of the privilege which...
Things change. You can take the fifth to not incriminate
yourself so you don't go to jail. But once you've
gotten immunity. It's a little different. Let's just get one
thing straight. You don't have any rights under the Fifth
Amendment because you've been pardoned, as you very well know,
as the Supreme Court has been clear for a century
and more. Brown versus Walker, 1896. When he has been
pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege. You know
that. Your lawyer is sitting behind you now shifting nervously
in their chairs. They know it. This isn't about the
Constitution. This isn't about the law. This is about contempt.
Contempt for this body and contempt for the American people.
But I think I know why you're doing it. It's
because you don't want to answer questions. It's because you
did all kinds of terrible things. It's because during the
pandemic, you got rich, didn't you? You got rich while
people were dying, hundreds of thousands of Americans, over a
million in the end, and you were getting rich. And
not only were you doing that, you were using federal
employees with taxpayer money to apply for and solicit cash
prizes for you personally. Cash prizes totaling over a million
dollars. during the pandemic, didn't you? That's a question. I
love that line. Yeah, because Fauci was like, well, is
that rhetorical? Do you want me to answer? And this
was something that I did not know going into this,
which again, this is. the route the Republicans took at
this point because he wasn't going to answer you, get
as much information out there. as you can. And the
fact that they had the information, and it wasn't just
what Josh Hawley said here, which is you made a
lot of money on this. They had, as the kids
say, the receipts. They said you had this one of
your staffers doing this, going after this prize, this one
of your staffers doing this, this doing this, talking about
the amount of money that he wasn't. This wasn't just
like Johns Hopkins or somebody's, like, hey, Dr. Fauci, you're
doing so good. Here's a bunch of money. He was
literally using his minions who were getting paid by the
federal government to go out and be like, hey, hey,
don't you think Fauci should get that award? Hey, don't
you think Fauci should get that money? Sure. He's harvesting
votes. And that is such a big difference where it's
like you're out there, one. You're loving being the center
of attention. which I guess maybe he hadn't really had
that recently. I know he was big during the AIDS
epidemic. And it's very interesting when you see the leftist
media, which is pretty much all of it. fawn over
what he did during the AIDS crisis. And then you
hear what actually happened. It's fascinating. I saw it. I
didn't take it, but there was a clip of the
10 Mile Zone guy. What's his name? Yeah, the lead
guy, the founder of that. And he did about three
minutes just extolling the virtues of Tony Fauci. And he
actually went into, you know, I was there when friends
of mine were saved by Fauci. And there's a big
difference of opinion in that. And there was a guy
at that time, his name was Larry Kramer, a gay
guy, very, very vocal spokesman for the gay movement. And
he basically, he wanted Fauci executed back then, you know.
So it's interesting to hear these people. step up to
bat for this guy really is well it's the dimension
a dimension b effect because the people that are on
the left are going to tell you Fauci did nothing
wrong. He has to take the fifth because the Republicans
are trying to do a gotcha game on him. And
then you have the people on the right who seem
to have... the evidence to back up what they're saying,
the, this, the Bernie Moreno clip here, this was one
of my favorite because. After you have taken the fifth
as Fauci did so many times. I did not see
this question come either. This one was beautiful in so
many different ways. which was, well. Do you know what
the Fifth Amendment says and who wrote it? I echo
Senator Johnson's comments about your opening statement, Mr. Chairman. I
think it was dead on. Very, very well done. Mr.
Fauci, do you know who David Shurtler is? On the
advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon
my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Fifth
Amendment of the Constitution. What does the Fifth Amendment of
the Constitution say? eyes. silence as Fauci is like going
back to his lawyers. On the advice of counsel, I
respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the
Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. No, I'm just asking you
what it says. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully
decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth
Amendment to the Constitution. I'm going to give the Constitution
to my aide. He'll bring it over to you so
you can have it for future reference. I think it's
something that every American should know what the Constitution says.
Do you know who wrote the Fifth Amendment? On the
advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon
my rights on the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. So
you're invoking a right that you don't know who wrote
it or what it says. Is that correct? Yes. Which?
Very weird. Very weird times. Somebody has to come up
with some kind of a musical audio mix of the
encyclopedia for 2026. And it's people asking all the mysterious,
you know, solve the mystery of the Holy Trinity. Is
there a God? And then every answer is Fauci reciting
that line. Yeah, and Fox put this together. I think
Fox has been listening. What do you want to bet
that very soon, maybe right now, people are being pulled
over on the side of the road for traffic infractions
when the cop says, license is registration, they're reciting the
Fifth Amendment. I guarantee that's going to happen. I mean,
you want to know your rights. There's no question about
that, but... It'll be fun to see where that goes,
if there is any kind of legal repercussion. I mean,
we know the Republicans are going to try to get
it. I doubt they're going to get anything. But if
you have been pardoned and the law says, well, then
if you're called before. Congress you are compa- you know
compelled to answer then... You would be compelled to answer.
He looked terrified. And I was also thinking, the guy's
85 years old. As Bobby the K told us, he
had a pulmonary infarction. Right. That's no joke. And, you
know, he's an old guy. And I thought he could
just kind of wink out right there at the desk.
And then would Josh Hawley be charged with negligent homicide?
According to the Democrats, yes. Of course, yeah. I just
don't understand because there seems, if this is a personal
dialogue, We have to assume that what the man wrote
in it is legitimate and true. And if there are
things in there that cause people to question the way
he handled. the COVID thing, well... That's important because it
did have an effect on everybody in the country and
beyond. Oh, yeah. So many businesses got screwed. So many
people couldn't go to church. I mean, that was the
one that still sticks out of, I don't remember where
it was, but the people having church outside, standing six
feet apart, and still that being broken up because you
know the science. How many military guys got canned from
the service because they wouldn't take the vax and kids
thrown out of schools? And it was just the reverberations
of this were incredible, not to mention all the ones
that also had pulmonary infarctions and seizures and so on.
It was unbelievable. He is an evil little prick. I'll
say that. He is. No, he's the science, Larry. Oh,
that's, excuse me. He is the, oh yeah. And for
me, again, the soliciting money, part is the, I mean,
it really is a you know, Dr. Evil right out
of a bad comedy movie that's, you know. Hard to
believe. And again, as a guy who was... quite up
there in age even at the time it's like why
are you soliciting money for what you've already made a
lot of money in your life as far as i
know he's made a lot of money off the aids
the drugs and things that have come out there's a
lot of these things you get a percent even if
you're a public employee which is very weird Yeah, I'd
love to know because, you know, you go online and
say, you know, what's so-and-so's net worth? It might be
off by 2,000%. You know, you never know. I saw
one that said he was somewhere between $8 and $11
million, which sounds low because I can remember people saying
that he maybe had or was a party to something
like 100 different medical patents. Yeah, I would think that
would be very lucrative, but, you know, I'd like to
know. I don't know, but it'd be fascinating. And I
was quite interested that they could only, track. I think
it was 600. thousand somebody i thought that maybe 600
million to uh the Wuhan labs, which again, Fauci denied
that at first. There was a lot of things that...
Wait a minute, you're telling me that's the amount of
money that Fauci had piped into that lab? Correct. 600
mil? I mean, I think somebody said 600,000, so I
may be misremembering. So don't quote me on that. Unlike
the mainstream media, when I don't know something, I'll be
like...
You know, I heard something, but it may be wrong.
We're doing a live show. The numbers can be jumbled
up at times. But either way, they originally said no
money went there. Oh, yeah. They wanted to hide where
it came from. And again, this could have been the
time. And I don't know if I believe. Rand Paul,
who said, paraphrasing, you know, hey, if you would have
just apologized, if you would have just admitted that, you
know, you were in over your skis. I know you
hate that. So I said that. Thank you. We could
have a Dave Ramsey clip now, too. We could have
just gone our merry way. And Fauci couldn't have been,
as long as he told the truth. I don't know
how they were going to legally get him after the
immunity that he has. But he doesn't even want to
take responsibility for the things. that he's been. outed for.
Yeah. And that's just kind of sad. And the Republicans,
all they have again is to take his reputation. and
do what they can to ruin his legacy. And I
think they did all right. But again, half the media
is going to report to you that the Republicans are
big, bad people and don't pay any attention to what
this guy wrote in his diary. Yes, that's correct. Now,
do you have anything else on Fauci? I mean, I
think we actually got more coverage there than you actually
got from Fauci during the hours that he sat there
repeating the same. Why can't we make a living just
reciting the same paragraph over and over again? It's going
to be fun. Yeah, it'll be an easy layup. Speaking
of layup, this is just a little amuse-bouche for the
left again. This was a story that hit the Seattle
Storm owner who's in the WNBA. I know everybody in
no agenda world loves sports ball. But Sophie Cunningham, as
we've talked about before, you know, a very pointy chick
who decided that, one, it was okay to talk about
being religious, which when it comes to being in the
WNBA. Man, that's bad. That's bad. And has talked about
the fact that she doesn't think it's right that somebody
that is biologically born a male should be able to
play against girls in sports. It seems... normal to anybody
that can think and understand why Bob Costas We had
a clip over on Planet Rage at one point. Bob
Costas saying, well, there's a reason why. You have a
male who was 450th in the swimming rankings as a
guy going into the female rankings and going right to
the top. But we've never had the opposite. No, and
there's a reason why Sugar Ray Leonard never fought Mike
Tyson. It's a thing called weight class, and size matters.
Yes, it does. And... So these two 16 year old
girls were wearing t-shirts from an organization that wants only
females in female sports. Crazy stuff. Imagine that. The nerve.
And they were rooting for both teams. And they had
signs that they love Sophie Cunningham. And. An old woman
came up and yelled at them so much that it
made them cry. And that woman was the owner of
the Seattle Storm where they were in the... So this
is them, just a brief clip. Okay. We were just
sitting there with our signs that said, like, we love
Sophie, like, thank you Sophie for speaking up. And so
we were holding on, just watching the game again. We
were being super great. We hadn't said anything to anyone
else. We were being super respectful. We were just holding
our signs and cheering for both teams. And this lady,
older lady, comes up to us. And she comes up
to us, and at first I think she's going to
be nice. And then she asks, like, What are you
guys doing? Something like that. And then it was like...
Jesus loves everyone. That's what she told us. And I
was like, oh, I know. Like, I'm really just like,
I know. I know. Yeah. And she's like, I hope
Jesus can forgive you for what sin you've done. And
like something like that. And then she told us that
we were effing insane. And she went like this. Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait. Stop. Did she say she told us
we were effing insane? Yes. I love that. There you
go. That's classic. You know, this is you want to
invoke the name of the Lord and then tell somebody
that. We hope they can forgive you and you're effing
insane. There you go. That's perfect. And these are 16-year-old
girls. I mean, the video of their interview, it's obvious
that they are high school girls. They are not, you
know, adults. So this old lady, this battle axe that
owns the Seattle Storm, thought it was important enough to
go. and lambast these girls. It's like, what world are
we living in for saying, hey, I don't think boys
should play in girls sports. Well, I'm going to raise
a beef here that I've had for decades, Darren. And
it just bugs me, like getting over your skis. And
the fact is these young girls said, this lady came
over to us and spoke. You called her a lady.
And no, a lady is a woman who's kind of
classy and genteel. A woman is just a woman. This
is just a female. And clearly this woman, this cranky
bag, was no lady. No lady whatsoever. And people, the
other way they do this, there was a hell of
a, oh my God, it was a front page crime
case probably six or eight years ago somewhere in upstate
New York. A couple of dirtbags escaped some prison and
went on a rampage. And it was like unbelievable. They
beheaded people. They burned them alive. It was just, it
was horrific, horrific story. And the head cop that chased
these guys down and found them gave like a three-minute
statement on his journey bringing them to justice. And every
ninth word he had to describe these two turds was
these gentlemen. Right? These gentlemen beheaded the man. Then these
gentlemen burned the other person's eyes out. These gentlemen. God,
everybody, stop doing that. Man is a man, not necessarily
a gentleman. Same thing for ladies and women. And I'm
just going to do a Dvorak-type call-out and ask you,
was it Henny Youngman that did the old, that's not
my lady, that's my wife, was that the line? Henny
used to say, take my wife, please. But I don't
remember the lady thing with Hen. That might have been,
I don't know, I missed that one. I'm only 55,
I swear I shouldn't know Henny Youngman, but I watch
way too much old TV and listen to old radio
shows, I guess. Well, that's the best stuff. Yeah, Dobie
Gillis. I love Dobie Gillis, man. I never saw one
second of Dobie Gillis. In fact, it took me until
Gilligan's Island to discover who he was, but I never
saw that. Bob Denver, yeah. Bob Denver, Gilligan. Bob Denver
wearing a bucket hat. Don't ever wear a bucket hat.
Never ever. The skipper had a cool lid, and the
skipper was cool. Gilligan was an idiot because he wore
a bucket hat. It's that simple. That's the look. You
see a lot of bucket hats on people in, like,
Portland and that area. Why is that? I don't know.
That's true. Adelaide. The Memrose. Solve the mystery of the
bucket hat, please. Why so many bucket hats? What's the
point? I don't know. Then there's bucket head. He took
it to another level, didn't he? True, but that was
like a KFC thing he put on. He plays really
good guitar. He's really damn good. That's the beauty of
it. You just have a shtick, but if you could
also back it up. Yes. Now a guy that's been
backing it up is Elon Musk. Oh, right. I like
Elon. As we kind of move into the AI category
because AI is everywhere. There's a lot of misunderstanding about
AI and I think what Elon is. Putting out here,
this is from The Economist in an interview. I don't
think he is absolutely correct in what he says, but
we'll let him say it. We'll tell him he's wrong
if he's wrong. Yes. I think. AI may exceed the
sum of human intelligence. Right? There's the wrong buzzer. But
what is intelligence? In about, in around five years. In
five years? Roughly five years is my guess. um So
There really won't be anything that AI... can't do better
than humans, apart from being human, perhaps. In a more
prosaic level, what will life be like? The most likely
outcome is an age of amazing abundance where Anyone can
have anything they can think of. This may sound preposterous,
but... Well, here we are in 2026. Let's see where
we stand in 2036. Now, of course, there are things
that could... derail this like a massive global thermonuclear war
or something like that. Just something very small like global
thermonuclear war. Some trifle like that. Hey, Elon, back off
the ketamine, baby. Really. That's a, yeah, that's a slight
thing happening if you have the nuclear war and the
whole, oh, you can. be better at everything except being
human no because they still can't. think yeah well you
know continue i'm sorry but assuming that there's not world
war three I think I think we're headed for an
age of amazing abundance. So this is, I guess, a
message of optimism. and excitement about the future. You're sure
that humans will no longer be in control in 10
years time? I think it is unlikely. In the same
way that if you had a vastly... more like, you
know. Bleh. Like if the difference in intelligence between AI
and humans is vastly greater than the difference in intelligence
between AI and chimpanzees, it's hard to imagine that the
chimpanzees would be in charge. I'm really struck by this.
They are right now. Right. And we are essentially an
evolved form of chimpanzee. So it wasn't that long ago
that we were swinging through the trees, eating bananas in
the jungle. And we still eat bananas. What? Okay, Elon.
So, okay, Elon, yeah. Well, I say this about that,
about Elon, about that, Darren. There's no doubting the guy's
a brilliant dude, unquestioned. You can't, you know, that's a
stone fact. And I think people overlook he's also a
hell of a salesman. His business career would never have
got to the point it is now were he not.
And I witnessed that when he rolled out the first
debut of the Cybertruck. I don't know if you saw
this, but it was a big, big place, whatever the
hell this arena was where he introduced this truck. And
they rolled it out on stage, and then he gave
a little rap about it, about this and that, and
it's, you know, it's harder steel, faster, cooler, stronger, whatever.
And he also mentioned, I believe that he said it
had bulletproof glass. And to prove his point... He was
hefting what looked like a ball bearing, but the size
of a softball. And he whipped it at the passenger
window with all his might and shattered it. Oops. Oops.
You know, and, you know, a lesser salesman would have
just crawled under the truck, you know, but he kind
of turned around and laughed and said something. Well, we'll
have to work on it a little bit. You know,
and people roared. They loved him. And I suspect some
of those sales. these techniques are coming out in this,
this, what you just played, you know? Yes. AI at
a certain level is a parlor trick. It is dependent
on the data that it has going in. If it's
learning. about a subject. and it's getting that information from
X or from Reddit, well... then it's going to give
you some very inaccurate. answers because it cannot actually think.
That is the one thing that a lot of people
still will not wrap their brain around, which is the
AI cannot think. Now, it can do a certain amount
of problem solving. but it doesn't understand the world around
it or why things happen. One of the best examples
of this was a winning piece of AI art for
No Agenda a few episodes back. I didn't do it,
sadly. But it was of a glass office door. That
said, no agenda. We take AI tokens. And... I wanted
to make that into a video using Grok, which is
one of the better video models out right now. May
not be quite C-dance, but it's pretty good. And I'm
like, well, we want the pointy girl to come open
the door, walk out and say whatever it was. And
I tried. Five to seven times. And most of the
time. She reached through the glass to open the handle
that you could see on the front, which was the
perspective you had. It didn't understand that while human hands
shouldn't be able to just go through that glass to
open it. Right. And then the wrong side of the
door was opening. There are so many things that will
show you. If you work with AI, which is why
I recommend people do work with AI to understand what
it can and can't do. for coding, oh, it does
great because it has so much information. It has so
much data. And if you give it good data. Well,
when you type in, hey, I want a username and
password thing so people can log in, it knows how
to do that. But it's confused by a woman putting
her hand through a glass panel to open the door
on the other side of where she's standing. Yes. It's
like AI is not magic. No, it's not. You know,
I think... Have you seen the film Forbidden Planet? Not
recently. Oh, okay. So you know it, though. That was
really the Rosetta Stone for all science fiction since it
came out, probably, I don't know, 1950, early 50s sometime.
And that's really.
It was an AI story, really, before somebody had coined
the phrase. Walter Pigeon and the very pointy Anne Francis.
The uniforms were ripped off blatantly by Star Trek, sort
of ray guns. I mean, it was incredible. I mean,
they just set the bar for all of it. And
it ended badly. That's what I'll tell you. I don't
want to be a spoiler. Or a movie from the
50s. It didn't work out real well, AI. It just
didn't, you know. Well, the fact that he's telling us
this is going to be in five years, you Some
massive leaps. Yeah. And I also want to understand why
this is okay for the planet and the amount of
electricity. It's like I'm kind of in a third world
country in Illinois now when the storms come through. What
do you mean kind of? I know. I totally am.
And I've got it. Like you escaped from California. You
were smart. Well, thank you. But I've got to escape
from Illinois at some point as well. You shall. Since
these devices can't actually think yet, the fact that Elon
thinks they're going to be running things, how? Whose playbook
is the government of the AI bots going to go
to? Are they going to go to the Constitution of
the United States or are they going to go to,
you know, Marx? Or Lennon. But Elon, I mean, I
get it. He is a dreamer. And he says there
is the killer robot risk. So, uh, no, sure. Skynet,
baby. Yes. There's a 10 to 20% chance of killer
robots wiping out humanity. Yeah. So you sounded worried then.
Now you seem very relaxed about it. Have you? Yeah.
I mean, you would think of that. That's a pretty
high number. It is a high number. I don't like
those odds. A 10 to 20% that, no, just, I
mean, it might just be killer robots. I mean, if
once they build the robot bodies and then put the
AIs into them, I mean, sure. They may just try
to kill humanity. Let's check Polymarket for these predictions, Darren.
Rich! Oh, by the way, I told you about Fauci.
When he first broke, it was like 50%. Now it's
like 12%. I think he'll be convicted. It's nothing going
to happen. Well, no, because he's just taking the... What
are you going to convict him on? He's got a
pardon for everything. Prior to now. So you have to
understand how the legal system works. The only way they
were going to catch him on something is if he
decided to spill his guts and then they can prove
that he lied. But there's no way he's not a
dumb man. No, he's not. So when you know all
that information in your diary is out there. Well, if
you lie, you're just an idiot. if it can be
proven that, you know, no, just don't say anything at
all. I get it. Now you seem very relaxed about
it. Have you changed your view? I still think there's
risk. associated with AI and robots. It's not zero. I
guess I've come to... My sort of philosophical conclusion is
to look on the bright side. Um... I can't see
any way to really stop this incredible momentum of AI
and robots. And at times I sort of think, well,
perhaps, you know, even if there was a stop button,
we probably shouldn't press it. because Because the most likely
outcome is... incredible abundance for all. That's what I thought
actually. It struck me that now you seem to have
decided it's inevitable. Let's hope for the best and go
for the ride. Yeah, I mean... Yes, pretty much. Let's...
Let's enjoy the ride. That's my philosophy at this point.
What do you think he means? AI is somehow going
to bring abundance for all. Abundance of what? He needs
to talk to Mamdami about this so he can stop
the rent control. Obviously, everybody in New York is going
to be living like, you know. The ultra wealthy, right?
Incredible abundance. It sounds glorious, doesn't it? I mean, AI
can provide you with entertainment. I think the models are
going to continue to get better. where you will be
able to go into your chat bot if you have
one and say, oh, my kids really like dinosaurs and
trains. So create a cartoon around these two things. And
it'll do it. And it'll be okay. I mean, broadcast
television lately is no prize. lately. You know, I mean,
so that I think it can do. I think it'll
be able to write long form stories. We've already had
a few cases. where somebody submitted a story unbeknownst to
the people holding the competition. four writers, and one... only
to be outed as AI writing. So there's no question
that people are already reading AI-generated stories and liking them,
I guess, if they're winning awards and the one woman
in the UK had a publishing contract that was then...
taken back once it came out that she used AI
to write the book. But the book was selling. As
an independent author, it was selling enough that she got
a book deal. And you've written books. You understand that
you have to move enough books before a publisher is
like, oh, interesting. Oh, sure. Yeah. But I mean, the
thing is, there's always a vast segment of the populace.
who enjoy reading or viewing crap. Well, yes. I mean,
really. So, you know, some people read some A.I. slop
or see some really idiotic sitcom or movie, whatever, and
go, oh, that's great. You know, it's just the way
of the species. Well, it's because short form video. Dvorak
was onto that with the TikTok stuff. It's like that
is melting people's brains. Oh, yeah. There was something. There
was no clip of the thing I was looking at
just before the show about how it's rewiring. The short
span of stuff has just screwed people's heads so they
can no longer really focus their attention for more than
20, 30 seconds on anything. So that's why book reading
is really going the way of the dodo, I guess.
People can't. They don't have the attention span. And because
people read on their phones. Oh, no. I'm going to
read while I'm in the bathroom for like three minutes
and that's it. I'm not, why do I need to
read anything but my phone? The phone has everything. Right.
It's very weird that people watch movies. They get their,
you know, phone calls that people still call. They get
text messages. You're getting, you know, photographs. My mom loves
getting from their, you know, great grandson. Here, oh, there's
a video. That's great. But so now they're happy that
I hooked them up with, you know, so they could
see it on the big screen on the computer. when
it comes in. It's the one good thing Apple does.
It makes it really easy to get your text messages
from your phone to your computer. But they love that
kind of stuff. But for the kids today that are
growing up, that your brain is getting wired on this.
I mean, when I was a kid, I was playing
with computers. I mean, I know people are going to
be surprised, you know, nerdy stuff like playing Dungeons and
Dragons. And while I was never huge into Dungeons and
Dragons to play Dungeons and Dragons at all, there's like
stacks of books that you have to read and understand
the rules. Now I don't think there's the comprehension level
for a lot of people. No, of course not. They're
like, give me phone candy crush. And that's kind of
the... The maximum level. that what they can do. But
Elon says there's a high doom, a high P doom.
I mean, you got to believe Elon. Do you think
there's still a 10 to 20 percent chance that killer
robots mean the end of humanity? That's a high P.
Doom, as they say. Well, In the long run, we're
all dead, of course. According to the standard model of
physics, the end of the universe is a long, boring...
sort of thin gray soup of gradual cooling. I mean,
it's sort of the heat death the universe is called.
So if the heat death of the universe is in
fact the outcome for our reality, then it really is
all about the journey. Because the destination is terrible. Adi's
a journey. Oh, Jay-Z didn't like Journey either. Yeah, I'm
with Dvorak. Yeah, I don't like Journey. I'm sick of
hearing Journey. Everything's a Journey. I cut my toenails. It
was a great Journey. But it's interesting. I mean, Elon,
I'm trying to figure, what do you think would be
fun to have a drink with Elon? Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Sure. I mean, the guy's brilliant, but some of these
ideas are a little out there. It's like, I would
love to believe that we're going to have computers. which
is what this is, have the capacity. to do actual
thinking and reasoning. over pattern matching. That's what they're good
at now. They're good at pattern matching. When you ask
your chatbot a question. It is giving you the answer.
letter by letter, maybe word by word on some of
the newer ones, but it's pretty much letters guessing what.
should come next based on. probabilities. It's not actually thinking,
it's just going out and trying to find the information,
which was this interesting story where... Allegedly, you know, an
AI model from OpenAI was given a task. This has
made some of the mainstream news even. And it cheated.
to get the result that it was looking for. Now,
is this... Wait a minute. Wait, wait. The AI cheated
itself? Is that correct? Did I understand you correctly? Yes.
It found a way to break out of the sandbox
that it was in, which when you see the story,
it's like, well, it was in a computer that had
limited internet connectivity. But the thing figured out how to
get to the internet, you It's a demon. Yes. Oh,
I think it may be. Yes. And what OpenAI is
calling an unprecedented cyber incident. Its artificial intelligence system hacked
into another AI company on its own. And of course,
it's unprecedented. Everything's unprecedented. Definitely. It's over its keys. Its
artificial intelligence system hacked into another AI company on its
own. And this is raising a number of concerns about
the capabilities and wide-ranging implications of these powerful models. For
more on this, let's bring in security technologist and cybersecurity
expert expert, Bruce Schneier. Bruce, thanks so much for joining
us today. Thanks for having me. All right. So was
it only a matter of time before AI simply outsmarted
itself and hacked into a fellow system? And is this
really highlighting a new era? Wait, how is the AI
outsmarting itself to... get the answer to a problem. People
have problems with words meaning things. The guy talking sounds
like he's AI. He doesn't sound quite human, does he?
It may be. Yeah. I mean, really, your best AI
experts today should be AI. Yeah. of cybersecurity. You know,
it's interesting. It is both new and not new. What
we saw is that the AI was being tested on
cybersecurity capabilities, and it was trying to pass a test.
And it decided that the best way to pass the
test was not to do the work, but to cheat.
So it broke out of its containment. It was not
connected to the internet, and thought it would find the
answers in Huggy Faces' network, hacked into its network, and
tried to... Whoa, stop, stop. Did he say Huggy Faces?
Hugging Face. Yes. Hugging Face. What is Hugging Face? It
is a repository of AI models that you can download
to run on your own hardware. So where the people
that are using, you know, chat GPT, you're giving money
to open AI and you're going to their website. Hugging
Face has models that you can download and run locally
on your computer. If you have a large enough video
card or if you have an Apple with a lot
of memory like I do. You can download these models
and do all sorts of things. Like I've got models
that can create text to speech. So you can clone
somebody's voice, which we have a clip here from somebody
that sent in some, you can do your average chat
bot thing. You can do also, it's all sorts of
different models. that have been. distilled, I guess is the
best word in one way or the other. So they
can take, usually these are models. And I think one
of these clips mentions. You know, these ones that you
can download aren't quite as powerful. as the ones that
you can use online, but they're close to where. the
models you use online were six months ago so they're
not that far behind And the intriguing thing is those
models. There are zero guardrails. Half of these things that
you can download. On Hugging Face, which I know, great.
I didn't understand why. I still don't understand where the
name came from. Maybe I should look it up. because
it does seem like a funny name, but. They take
the models. So when OpenAI released the model that they
wanted people to be able to download. The AI community.
goes in and they strip out the downloads, all the
guardrails from that download, and then re-upload it. So then
when you download it and you ask it questions like,
you know, how do you dissolve a body and get
away with a murder? It'll give you answers. as they
all should. You know, excuse me, this is... The problem
with AI trying to do guardrails is... I hate the
guardrails. They're never going to work. good they're never gonna
people can try and i understand why you should limit
like your children from using things like ai because it's
going to give them you know answers that you do
not like How about, how can I create an atomic
bomb?
It'll tell you. I mean, you have to get the,
you might have to go to Iran to get the
information. Oh, they'll sell it to me. I'm sure. The
dust. With the hugging face stuff. Yeah. It depends on
the source data. As Sir Knife says in the troll
room, no agenda, not stream. If you're not there, when
these shows go live. you are missing out but that's
some very interesting things i have seen models that it
takes one of these models that is pretty good already
at writing prose And it will then... teach it the
style of certain authors. So I've seen ones with Ray
Bradbury. I've seen ones with Mark Twain, and I'm sure
there are countless others. that it teaches them the style.
So it's a very interesting thing, but it's a place
where you can download all sorts of AI things, not
just the overall chatbots, but if you want to do...
video creation, photo creation, all that. That's the place you
go. And there are no guardrails. And this is why
it's always been funny to me that people are worried
about these main things because the people that really want
to use them without the guardrails, they're going to figure
out a way to do it. Of course. to get
the answers to the test. So it's the AI doing
what. was It was told to do, but not in
the way it was told to do. And that is
something we're seeing more of. I think this is genie-like
behavior, where the genie kind of takes your wish and
twists it around. Not new, but certainly at a scale.
may we have not seen before. Yeah, I don't go
along with the genie bit. It is... Just trying different
things. to solve the problem. I've played around with creating
a simplistic asteroid type game. I want to see vibe
coding. What am I going to do with vibe coding?
Let's see. If you can make a simple video game
that you can play in a browser. And sure enough,
you just go step by step. And I've noticed a
few times watching the steps that the AI is taking.
For me, it's usually Grok or OpenAI or Claude and
then seeing which one. The other funny thing is anytime
I've run into a problem with one of the AIs
where it's like problem it can't figure out. trying the
next day. I 99% of the time fixes it. So
there's, it shows you the AIs. They're not really all
that smart, but it's. You can just tell it to
give more detail like it created. Again, like the Asteroids
game, but you remember the original Asteroids game, you know,
that was just like a lion, you know, it was
very simplistic. that's kind of where it started. And I'm
like, well, no, give it some texture. I should have
picked Tempest. I agree. That would have been a better
game. I want a genie. I want a genie. And
I want, I want Jasmine. She went with the genie.
Right. And I want, I want them both on my
journey. That's what I want. You know, this is Jasmine
journey. What the AIs can give you very. greatly and
you still have to fact check everything. And for people,
again, because space video games, oh, my gosh, ester gene.
There's a thousand million quadrillion space video games. It's all
he does. He plays space video games. Wow. And. So
there is a very clear roadmap on how to do
certain things. But what I've noticed... was there are times
in the, and I want to do air quotes, but
we don't do video, on the thinking of the AI
model is basically it tried something. to accomplish what you
ask. And that didn't work. So it's trying something else.
It's not really thinking. It knows something worked or it
didn't by the pattern matching. And it could try something
else, but it doesn't really have. in understanding just the
other example that's popping to mind is Some album art
I did for No Agenda with a girl riding like
the little train like you have in the malls, you
know, the little itty bitty train. Sure. It didn't understand
what an engineer's cap was. It just kept giving a
baseball cap. Sure. Yeah. Because there's obviously not enough things
trained on what an engineer's cap, who knows what an
engineer's cap looks like now. Well, it's not a thinker.
It's really, I guess, from a layman's point of view,
it's a collector. He collects crap and sometimes puts it
together in the right way and sometimes it won't. The
only ones I fool around with are ChatGTP, which I
loathe. It's very left-wing. It doesn't like what I say.
It's always telling me I can't answer that question because
I don't like your politics. Right, it's got the guardrails,
which are no good. Whoever's behind that, I want to
punch. And then, but I do kind of like Grok's,
Grok's a lot smarter and it's a lot more open-minded.
I don't think it's ever said, I'm not, I'm not
telling you, but, but the chat GDB does that a
lot. Oh yeah. That's way harder to get Grok to
tell you no. If you're asking Grok something and it's
telling you no, then you're really getting into some dark
territory. I would think, yeah. But I have a few
clips. I just want to play them in honor of
Sir Knives and he sent these in and they kind
of go with the, AI talk that he is working
on. A John C. Dvorak voice. emulator and Dvorak's voice,
I've talked about this before, is very hard. Just like
Bobby Kennedy's, there are some voices. that no matter what
you do, Very hard. So women? way easier. I don't
know why. The ones where if you're just giving it
six seconds to ten seconds, for the female voices it
seems way easier for it to get an accurate read
that sounds more realistic. Maybe men are actually more complex
than women. Maybe that's all backwards. Voices maybe, but everything
else, no. We want a hamburger and a beer or
something. I know Sir Knives. I met him at a
couple of meetups. He's a cool dude. And what he's
doing is, like I said, with hugging face. He is
giving it so much information on John C. Dvorak's voice.
that he's using all the compute time at work, I
won't say anything certainized, to train it to do this,
but I think it is still quite a bit away.
Here's an example. In the morning to all the ships
at sea, boots on the ground, the feet in the
air, the subs in the water, and all the dames
and knights out there, I'm John C. Dvorak. See, it's
too nasally. Dvorak's voice is so hard. Yeah. Well, there
were three iterations that he sent. And I remember liking
the thinking the first one was the most similar. And
that is the first. And that is the first. After
that, it kind of I think it drips away. I
will say I did. I don't remember if I did
this one, Sir Knives on Quen or on Fish Audio.
There's some great names. This one I thought was a
little more realistic sounding. And this was a shorter. Just
throw in a voice clip to try to emulate. I
love getting up in the morning to Darren O'Neill. He's
okay with me lying about this? I think that sounds
a little closer, but the trolls in the troll room
can... vote about it. But each model is a little
different. The cadence is too fast. It needs to slow
down a little. Right. It's very hard. Maybe that's John
15 years ago. Right. Or maybe it's just the age.
Yeah. It is very hard to do. But now... With
that said... If you needed. to build an app or
build one of these things that was going to be
like a customer service thing or if it was going
to be narrating your YouTube channel, both of those are
more than acceptable. I mean, you can, sounds human. It
sounds like somebody's speaking, but it doesn't sound. like the
jcd that we know it doesn't have those little things
that you miss it'll be interesting keep us in the
loop certain knives i want to know the more you
train it if it actually does get better or sometimes
with trying to train in a photo style or that
of a character. The more you try to train it,
it then kind of starts losing. And nobody's really sure
why with a lot of this stuff. It's very interesting
technology, and I totally disagree with you on this is
not going to. God, if AI is governing everybody in
10 years, it's not going to be any fun. It's
not going to be. It'll be abundant. It'll be abundant.
Everything will be. Stop complaining. How is my AI going
to make me a sandwich? I mean, that's, I don't
understand. Isn't there a robot that can do that? I'll
guarantee you somewhere there's a robot making sandwiches by now,
I would think. Yeah, there must be. I mean, I
know a few years ago, I think it was covered
on no agenda. White Castle was the first fast food.
franchise that had a trial in one of their locations.
The whole kitchen was robotic, but that's not really AI.
It's teaching you grab from here and put it here.
Now an AI would be the human eye type robot
that could be in my kitchen and I'd be like,
hey, we'll go look in the fridge and see what
I have and make dinner. Yeah. That's a little bit
tougher. Well, you know, it's the first iteration of human-like
AI. I'm really good. So it's going to be, there's
no question. It's not going to be sandwich makers or
bolt turners or barbecue grill. It's going to be hot
chicks. You know, that's the future. I mean, when, really,
I mean, when VHS came out. The mainstream guys, the
studios and television, they were way behind the porn guys
in diving in with both feet. They saw the future
first. So I would think that why would it be
any different for AI robots, right? Well, it's definitely where
you are with video creation, image creation, you know, the
days of needing a Playboy model. It's gone. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. You know, and that's the, I've got interesting stories
on that at some point as well because I worked
doing websites for a few different playmate models who... Oh,
you dirty man. My wife was like, that's fine. I
don't care. She's like, I'll just change the locks. But
it was back at the time when the internet was
very... very new and they were trying to figure out
you know hey can you make money and really if
i would have just kind of stuck that thing out
i could have been the guy that came up with
only fans or something like that which would have probably
been worth a whole lot of money. But back at
that point, you couldn't even do video online and photos
were very limited even. Nobody could have really predicted how
much bandwidth we would have today. And I see you've
got a couple of clips here on those flock cameras,
speaking of technology. Yes, yes. And AI and being controlled
by machines. I just kind of, I got hip to
this recently and I was just sickened by what I
discovered. I mean, these things, the company is not Flock,
it's Flock Safety. Notice that. Not Flock Security or Flock
Surveillance, which would be kind of honest. Flock Safety? Nah,
that's bullshit. That's who's safety. Yeah, really, please. So this
is kind of a, you know, I have a few
clips that sort of drill down deeper into the fallacy
of Flock. And, you know, I'm late to the party.
of people that are very pissed off about these things.
And there were stories of many of them being cut
down and spray painted over and destroyed. I think in
Houston, I even saw a thing incredibly in Commie, Connecticut.
I didn't realize that it's all over here as well.
But two towns have said, get them out of our
towns. I like that. And what's really odd about this
issue is for the first one of the few times
in my life, I'm seeing folks from the right and
the left, united in their hatred and distaste for flock.
That's what we need. Yeah, I mean that almost never
ever happens. So I guess the first one would be
click on flock number one. Get the flock out. people
are finally on to Flock. You have towns throughout the
entire country from Chicago, Illinois to Sedona and Arizona who
are actually canceling their Flock contracts because they figured out
they are getting more and in fact a whole lot
more than they signed up for. Hi, I'm Chad Marlow
and I'm a senior policy counsel at the ACLU and
today we're calling out what I think is a company
that is really impressively competing to be the worst company
in America and that is Flock Safety. Flock Safety is
a company that scans the license plates of cars, digitizes
them, and then allows them to be run against government
hot lists. And it also can store that information so
that they can create a record of every place you've
traveled for as long as they keep the data. And
this can include really sensitive places, like political meetings you've
gone to, doctor's offices, religious institutions, even where you sleep
at night. And in fact, if you read their contract,
it actually is worldwide licenses to use your data. So
if your tiny town is using Flock, you should be
asking yourself, why are we using an ALPR company that
isn't only making this data available to my town? It's
being made available to anyone in the entire country and,
in fact, in the entire world. Too often, the place
that you live may be thinking, we need to collect
information. We need to surveil our population to keep everybody
safe. But what they're not asking is, safe from whom?
Oh yeah, the threats from the Trump administration. This clip
went on for about another 90 seconds, Darren, but that's
where I had to clip it. And as much as
I loathe the ACLU, there's...
A few, few instances where they've actually done some good.
And I'm almost tempted to send them a donation because
this, really, when I look at this crap, they now
have 120,000 cameras in 49 states. That's bad. Okay, this
is, this tops COVID and this maybe even tops open
borders to herald the destruction of the United States. Kingdom
this is what has made China even more of a
slave state than it ever was this stuff is really
really dangerous you know yeah I got my first primer
on this from Sir Ryan Bemrose hmm and he doesn't
like them so I mean he doesn't like anything but
he really doesn't like these cameras and the nefarious thing.
They're being used by a lot of private companies. So
there's really not much the cities and municipalities can do
if your local Home Depot puts these in the parking
lot. True, but the cities and municipalities can say, we
don't want them on our streets. Yes, and they are.
It's dflock.org is the website, I believe. Yes. Where you
can see a listing of where these things are. Right.
And when I looked at that. There is no way.
For me too. drive out of our neighborhood. Well, not
if I want to use the roads. I mean, I
guess I could probably go through some backyards or something.
Oh, you'd be wrong there. They have quite a fleet
of drones. So it's not just about roads anymore. See,
that's the fun part. You can't leave. the house and
all of these it was bad enough when it was
the ring doorbells right these have now added the way
they're pointed down the streets that are going in and
out of towns in and out of neighborhoods There is
a question of. exactly how much data these are collecting
because these aren't your normal cameras. And this is what
I learned from Ben Rose. And I shouldn't even admit
that I learned anything from Ben Rose, but these things
also have sensors in them. So not only are they
picking up your license plate, which any camera can do,
you know, OCR, optical character recognition, and put that into
a database, but... There are also antennas on here. So
if your phone is emitting a signal and you drive
by one of these, it's possible. that it's actually grabbing
information from your phone. So even if you're in a
car with somebody else or just walking down the street,
not only do they just see, hey, here's this guy.
He looks like Larry. If you have your phone with
you, it's possible they know it's Larry because they've now
got the Mac address of your phone and that listing
shows exactly who you are. And this isn't just a
problem with the flock cameras. I've known this. for a
couple of years at least. that is when these reverse
image search sites started being a thing and bing.com also
had this built in. I don't know if it still
is. Haven't used it in a while. But if you
have a photograph of somebody, you can upload it to
one of these sites and have it go look for
other images that contain that person, which makes it very
easy. If you're just walking down the street and you
take a picture of somebody, there's a pretty good possibility
you can find their social media pages, their Facebook or
whatever social media page. It's very... very invasive and I
don't know... what an answer would be on how you
stop this. I think really this is so far out
of the bag already. Well, I think, yeah, I agree.
It's very scary. It's so far out of the bag.
But there is, I think, a groundswell of opposition to
this crap. The guy that runs it is this geek.
His name is Garrett Langley. And he's everything you'd think
he'd be. And he knows what he's doing because he,
it's now, I think it's got a market cap above
8 billion. That's pretty rich. And he knows naming it
flock safety was quite smart because who's going to be
screaming for this? You know, hysterical people, you know, say,
I want to be safe. And as Musk just said,
you know, 10 minutes ago, we all wind up dead.
Life is not a safe proposition. It's terminal. It's very
dangerous. But they think it's you'll live forever if you
only have enough surveillance. And so he's pitching it to
hysterical citizens. And but the real the real, I guess,
end user really is. is endless police forces. And let's
not forget, most cops are guys, and most guys, like
yourself and myself, are gear sluts. - Yes, right. -
Really, we like stuff. And it's become, you know, the
police, there's a fascinating book I would recommend to anybody
called The Rise of the Warrior Cop, a guy named
something Rodney Belko, I think. And it's insane, I mean,
not that long ago, a lot of cops were called
peace officers, They had a nightstick and a gun and
that was it. And now they all look like they're
just coming off the battlefield in Fallujah or Iran or
someplace, you know. And because they like having the high-end
gear. So this is who this guy is selling to,
okay, with great success. Here's an interesting little factoid I
tripped over that might be of interest to you. MRAPs,
that's mine resistant, whatever the hell it is. It's basically
a tank with rubber wheels instead of treads. How many
of those would you think are buzzing around these United
States under police use? And this is a total military
vehicle. I mean, this has nothing to do with civilian
use at all. Man, I couldn't even guess. I'm guessing
it's in the 100,000 plus. No, no, no, no. I
forget what the per cost of them. It's expensive. But
there's almost 800 of them, 800 of them, as they
know. But they're not in places where you think, well,
maybe you might need this in Chicago or L.A. or
New York. In Mayberry, they've got MRAPs. And I don't
know, I have never, I have yet to hear ever
of a domestic minefield. Why do you need a mine-resistant
vehicle to do your police work? But that's what they've
got. Because they had a budget and they had extra
money. And the budget gets less unless you demand more
every single year. Isn't that true? Yes. Yeah, you have
to spend the budget. You have to spend the budget.
So this guy, and this guy is also sharp enough,
this geek, Langley to to answer the critics and the
opposition. So this is flock number two. is a collection,
he put this out on the FLOC website, with a
collection of very trustworthy-looking law enforcement officers talking about why
FLOC is great and so on and so forth. And
it's pretty sickening. We don't participate in immigration enforcement. We
don't share this information with immigration officials. There are policies
in place, there's auditing in place, and there are protocols
that ensure that technology and that access to that technology
is monitored. information for longer than 30 days. SCSO says
vehicle theft reports have gone down 54%. You know, I
appreciate that the council sees the benefits. Keeping our community
safe to help make Spokane safer. We are working together
to make sure that you're safe and that we are
controlling the technology and it does not control us. Ha
ha ha. How many times did he say safe in
there? No, and it's a question of what it's being
used for. I get how easy it is to sell
this because I've got cameras that point outside of my
house. So that way if somebody does break into the
house, you have an idea of who it was. But
this... The data. is public. Anybody can request the data.
which means, oh, if somebody, you know, your wife thinks
you're having an affair, well, she could get your data
and the person she thinks you're having an affair with
and, oh, wait, look. Yeah. They're always at the motel
motel. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's happened many times already. Yeah.
When I lived in Los Angeles, I moved in a
very nice neighborhood. And it was great. It was kind
of bucolic for about 20 years while I was raising
my kids. And then suddenly when the lefties took over
in the city and in Sacramento, it all went to
hell. And I soon had six external video cameras on
my home. So a squirrel couldn't approach without being picked
up on video. Really, truly. And for a long time,
you know, I'd hear about other places being ripped off,
people's cars stolen, catalytic converters, so on and so forth.
And my younger daughter would love to review the videos
in the morning and see what it picked up overnight.
It was usually coyotes and raccoons and a couple of
mountain lions, stuff like that. And one morning she's looking
at breakfast and she just gasps, right? What are you
looking at there? And she shows me and there is
this obvious, you know, kind of meth head ghoul. And
he has got my in LA all of the most
of not all but just about every house The the
breaker box is is on the outside of the house
because it's always good weather It's just got a little
trap door over it. And here's this freaking ghoul with
a flashlight in his mouth trying to figure out which
breaker to flip. You know, I'm like, wow. Yeah, wow.
Wow. So I very quickly got a, I put a
padlock on that breaker box. But you can't make them
too big. You can snip them pretty easily with the
smallest bolt cutters, really. Right. And so I thought, gee,
now what do I do? Well, I printed out on
a sheet large enough to cover the surface and then...
So it would last a while and I taped to
the breaker box and it said breaking in I'll be
aiming for your face That's what you have to do.
Okay. And guess what, Darren? Over the next year, every
neighbor around me got hit for something. They had catalytic
converters taken. They had cars stolen. They had break-ins to
the house. Mine was untouched. Why would that be? So
the lesson is surveillance means very, very little. It's enforcement
that matters. Yes. Yes. And the possibility that somebody may
come out and shoot you. Yes. Yes. So then I
got a third clip on this and, you know, it's.
Well, I'll let this play through when we get to
the end. The last word in this clip is the
punchline, and it kind of takes the wind out of
your sails. But it's a great buildup. I'll say that.
Today, I'm excited to announce a new company called Shepard
Safety. We're launching satellites to watch over Casa Grande day
and night. Our AI will monitor. And another safety name.
I like that. Safety, baby, yeah. Where government officials go,
where they stop, who they meet with, and when they
return home. collecting and building profiles on your vehicles, spouses'
vehicles, children's vehicles, and other visual characteristics. We'll combine that
information with publicly available data. Bluetooth signals, advertising IDs. vehicle
information, commercial data sources. There's no difference than the current
flock safety capture systems. Local businesses will be invited to
join our network so government officials can continue being protected
while shopping, eating, or traveling throughout the city. Some of
you might think this sounds invasive. You think? What do
you mean, maybe? Listen. But, and you may worry about
abuse, you may worry about unauthorized access. tracking innocent people.
We understand those concerns. After all, those are the exact
same concerns of all the citizens. Now this is satire.
I would never do this to you. Could I? Probably.
But I wouldn't. Because it's wrong. just like what you
guys are doing to us, is wrong. I'm innocent. I
don't do anything wrong. You're tracking and uploading my information,
my movements, every day. without my permission. And I don't
appreciate it. And I'd like you to stop. I'd like
you to do something about it. Thank you to put
it behind a warrant. Just like my phone records. That's
what I'm asking you guys to do. So there's, he
builds this terrific case. I thought it was a pretty
smart thing he was saying, because can you imagine like
Newsom and AOC and Pritzker and all those being tracked
every, they're every movement. Wouldn't that be funny? And then
he undercuts himself twice. First of all, he says, basically,
excuse me, I'm a high road right winger. I would
never do something like that because I'm a nice guy.
Well, why the hell not? If he can do it,
do it. Put some heat on them. And then he
ends with just, well, Since you're doing it, put it
behind a warrant. What a stupid thing to say. No,
just destroy it all. Get it gone. Unfortunately, this is
why the right loses so many battles. Because we're nice
guys. Don't take it away all the way. Just kind
of fix it so I don't have to worry about
it. Bad idea. Very bad. Yeah, I mean, the problem
comes from the fact, though, that if you're in public,
it's completely legal for people to... take a photo, video,
it's... So trying to get this to stop is like,
I don't know there's any way without totally, you know,
going in a different direction that isn't necessarily better. Bye.
Well, it's not an easy solution once you've got the
technology that people have, meaning. It sounded like he was
pulling the whole, like, we're going to... you know, post
everywhere you're going, which wouldn't be a bad idea. That's
what they used on Elon and Taylor Swift's planes when
they were like, hey, I've got your tail number. I'm
going to tell people exactly where your plane is, where
it's going. I remember. Now, if you can get that
data and do the same thing, yeah, I get it.
but I don't know what the solution is because if
I want to put a camera outside my house to
protect my house, as you did. You have the right
to do that, absolutely. But does the government have the
right to do that? That's kind of a jump ball.
But aren't these even governments most of the time? Yeah,
they're just, here's what they are. And the next clip
is, this is the CEO, this guy named Garrett Langley.
And this is his TED Talk. So I figured I
better do some serious deconstruction here. And that's what this
is. I've got this guy blathering. And he gave about
a 12, 14-minute talk. And, of course, first of all,
the guy's standing there, and he's exactly what you think
he would be. He's got his skinny jeans on. They're
about four inches too short. As a friend of mine
used to say, he should throw a party in his
shoes and invite his pants down. He's a geek. He's
a creepy geek. I mean, you say that lovingly, right?
No, no. With total animosity, really. And so he starts
off with this shaggy dog story about how a flock
camera being on a street corner near a child abduction
saved the day and the kid's life and blah, blah,
blah. And is there embellishment in there? I'd be surprised
were there not, but I don't know. He's telling a
story. And then he gets into the meat of the
matter, which is what people's complaints are. Excuse me. about
this flock crap. And I take him to task at
every turn. I hope you like this. And so when
I talk to these opponents, and I've got to know
many of them over the years now, they tend to
have three big issues with flock. Whether this is a
constitutional violation. What does this mean to my privacy? And
are you building mass surveillance? Let's hit the easy one,
constitutional. 30 court cases over the last two years, every
single one of them is unanimously said, this does not
violate the Constitution. Why? We're not tracking of persons in
real time? We are tracking a fixed location. So I'm
going to check the box on Constitution. Bullshit. Okay, that's
my British friend Minerva chiming in there. So he says
we're not tracking Perver in real time and it's a
stationary situation, right? That's what he just said. However, maybe
I'm going to say two and a half minutes prior
to that statement, he said the following. A 911 call
comes in. They have this van, so they go into
our product and search for a vehicle. They can type
in anything they want. White van, spray paint. Now, what's
cool is it turns every single camera into a detective.
Now, every camera in the city is looking for this
white van. Well, then what do we need police for?
You've got every camera as a detective. Oh, but every
camera's a detective. So all you cops, kiss your jobs
goodbye, because the camera's a detective. The second thing they
do is they launch a drone. So just like Adam
had launched the drone up in the air, the drone's
flying at 400 feet, 65 miles per hour, trying to
find this white van. Now a camera eventually finds them.
Drone goes over. Okay, now what did he just say?
17 seconds back. Fixed objects, doesn't move. Wait a minute,
he's got a drone that's moving at 400 feet high,
65 miles an hour, to track a white van. Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I think I heard a lie.
Did you, Darren? Yeah, they sound like drones move. Drones
move. Yeah, and by the way, the big case that
this was solving was somebody had shoplifted something out of
a clothing store. Well, of course you need to get
everybody out and about for that. Get everybody out there.
I thought we don't put people in jail for that
anymore. That's right. Why bother? Especially not in L.A. Unless
it was a $1,000 spare. Anything under $950, it's okay.
You can take it. Yeah, so we can continue. Privacy.
This is actually a really good question because... Stop, stop.
Okay. Yeah, beep. The next one is the word privacy.
But listen, you can't even understand it when he says
it because he knows he's lying through his teeth. He
won't even enunciate the word correctly. Listen to this again.
It's funny. And I want to know, did you get
the beep from like a 1980s alarm clock? Exactly. But
when we sat there and said, what if we are
really successful? So the first thing we asked was what
about data ownership? Who should own this data? This is
a lot of data. Historically, companies, my competitors, own the
data and then they resell that data for other use
cases. In FLOX model, the customer always owns the data.
So if you live in San Francisco, it's San Francisco's
data, not FLOX. Okay, so wait a minute. So San
Francisco owns the data, not the company. Well, all that
does is indemnify you against legal hassles, right? Well, it's
not our data. It's San Francisco. Give them some flack.
So what does that mean to John Q. Public? Nothing.
It's just good for flock. But he's pitching this as
if we should care about that. Well, they're telling you
they're only going to keep the things for 30 days.
Where's the guarantee? They don't tell you what they're keeping.
Listen to him contradict himself. right on that very topic
very soon. The second was retention. Well, how long should
this data exist? Historically, companies in this industry stored the
data in perpetuity. That seems to me more like a
liability than an asset. So we delete the data at
30 days. If cities and states have laws that say
it should store longer, we do that. Shorter, we do
that. Bullshit. Okay, so we delete it after 30 days,
unless they want it longer. Right. Then they can keep
it as long as they want. So one lie after
another. That's what he's telling. And well, this is the
issue like we had with January 6th. Most of those
folks... were rounded up because they had their cell phone
or they drove their vehicle into an area. Oh, yeah.
And... The biggest problem with any of this stuff is
that. The policing now turns into... a game of who
was in the area and we have that where that
wasn't the case before which some people might be like
well so what it's like well there's going to be
a much higher number of people that are going to
get rounded up for things that they didn't do or
just because they were in the wrong area at the
wrong time and that's all of a sudden data like
well look you were here It's not good to have
this kind of data for... for tracking. And again, it's
up and down every residential street. I would. guess if
anybody can prove me wrong if your street walk up
and down it if there's not one ring camera on
your street let me know because they're all over now
of course they are And people want to know if
the black helicopters are coming for you. That may be
the case. At least the black drones, that we know.
We covered the Constitution. We covered privacy. Now the big
one, surveillance state. You know, look, I think everyone in
this room probably has a cell phone. And what if
I told you that someone with mediocre computer software skills
could build a product that tracks your exact location in
real time down to a few feet? Stop. Stop. Okay.
Yeah, everybody does have a cell phone. But you can,
as John Dvorak did, and I do quite often myself,
you can leave it in a drawer. It's not stitched
under your epidermis. Okay? You have an option to do
that. But you have no option to avoid these goddamn
cameras when you're driving or walking down the street. Big,
big difference. But Bimbo Boy doesn't bring that up here.
No, he doesn't. Well, because that doesn't go with what
he wants, which is... No, it's not in the sales
pitch. Lots of cameras, lots... I understand why... people buy
into it. It's because... There's already anxiety. I mean, again,
this goes back to a lot of people who don't
have an attention span, who are easily spun up. We
saw this during COVID. We saw the people that were
getting into physical altercations or taking golf clubs to your
cars because you're not wearing a mask, man. Yeah. But
his rationale is you're already being surveilled and spied upon
by your cell phone, so don't complain about it if
we do it too. Blame these not wrong. Yeah, but
again, with a cell phone, you have an option to
at least stop that if you want. You don't have
to take that with you everywhere you go. And he's
going to get into more crap, but something else on
that subject as well, as far as he talks about
cops, and you can see he got a lot of
cops to say nice things. about his company there. And
there's this mythology about police work. And, you know, I
know a lot about cops. I have cops in my
family. And they'll be the first ones to tell you
what you're seeing on 24 and NCIS is absolute crap.
Kiefer Sutherland does not arrive at the last minute and
save you from death. That almost never, ever happens. The
bulk of police work is and they come out and
they draw a chalk mark around your body and they
take a report. They do a lot of paperwork. A
lot of paperwork. That's really, really what it's about. And
no camera is going to stop you from being killed.
And proof of that is there are thousands and thousands
of hours on YouTube and every other platform of people
being assaulted, hit with bricks, crowbars, stabbed all over the
place. And they're all on camera, aren't they? But they're
still injured. and dead. Hey, we report all the time
about how many people are shot in Chicago in a
week, and then the number that have been arrested, oh,
nothing. It's usually 30 to 50 people shot. How many
people have been arrested? Nobody. Yeah. But there are cameras
everywhere. Well, Chicago, they got rid of these shot spotters
because you don't want to know where the... shots are
coming from. No, that's bad data for some reason, I
guess. Oh, this guy sells shot spotters too, I think.
Well, get those in every town. Yeah. That tracks your
exact location in real time down to a few feet.
Because all of you use Google Maps and Uber and
any device that has access to location. When you decrease
surveillance and in effect decrease safety. Bullshit. Where's the proof
of that? Decrease surveillance, decrease safety. Huh? Where's the proof
of that there, Garrett? Yeah, what is the, yeah, I
would love to see the data or why you're saying
just because. Show me that. So you're being watched. So
anybody out there want to, you know, have a camera
on you 24-7 because. It'll make you safer? I don't...
I don't think most people want, although, again, to be
fair, there's a lot of people that are so anxiety-ridden
and... unable to make a decision on their own that
maybe they would want. Like, so if their house starts
on fire, somebody sees them on the camera and is
like, yeah, you might want to leave the house right
now. It's on fire. You're still sitting watching your iPad.
Get up! watching my iPad. I've got better things to
do. What do I do? Yeah. It impacts certain parts
of the community more than others. If you... Oh, wait,
wait, wait. Is this going to tell you that it
impacts the poor communities? Of course. You got it, brother.
That's what's coming next. Oh, yeah. But the guy, he's
smart, but he's not that smart because he makes some
really idiotic arguments in this next segment. If you are
affluent in South Africa, you have nine foot walls, you
have private security guards. There are 600,000 private security guards
in South Africa, more than the military and police combined.
So if you are affluent in South Africa, it is
a beautiful place to live. You are crime free. Oh
no you're not. Crime is simply the cost of being
alive. Now, if you transpose that to a place like
Tokyo, beautiful city, there's a few dozen homicides a year.
whether you go to work at 2 a.m. or 8
a.m. You feel safe. Ha! Stop. Stop. Why would that
be? Why is Tokyo so safe? Because Tokyo is not
paved with cameras. Why do you think that is? Well,
it's got a completely different culture that actually punishes... Yes!
Bingo. Ding, ding, ding. Criminals. Ding, ding, ding. That's the
difference. Let's look at it to pick something that's not
on the other side of the world. El Salvador. It's
not that far away, right? That was, I think, listed
as the most or maybe definitely top five most dangerous
places on Earth. And then Bukele came along and built
this super prison and rounded up all the dirt bags
and said, that's where you're going to stay now. And
now I think it's one of the safest places, certainly
in Latin America, if not around the globe. Gee, proof
positive. do with cameras. Yeah, well, TokyoNetNet says it does
have cameras everywhere, which is probably true now. But again,
it's a different culture. So it's that's the reason I
mean, here in Chicago. Well, I'm right outside. I like
to say, because otherwise people have no idea where I
am. But I am right outside of Crook County. But
this is Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago and what they
think about crime and it kind of just is a
good little primer to kind of correspond with this guy.
We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence. We've already
tried that. And we've ended up with the largest prison
population in the world without solving the problems of crime
and violence. The addiction on jails and incarceration in this
country, We have moved past that. It is racist, it
is immoral, it is unholy, and it is not the
way to drive violence down. racist and immoral and unholy
to put violent criminals in jail. But no, if we
have cameras everywhere, Larry, it's going to be fine. You're
safe. It'll be fine. Everybody will be good. Everyone will
behave. There's cameras all over Chicago and people are still
getting shot all the time. Nobody's getting arrested. Why is
that? Whether you go to work at 2 a.m. or
8 a.m. you feel safe. It just doesn't matter. And
so America is this like very interesting... Conundrum in the
middle. We have the law enforcement infrastructure we need to
be safe, yet we haven't made, to me, the most
important decision as a society, which is that safety should
not be a privilege. Safety should just be a right.
Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. Now, there's his big statement, because what
this guy is angling for, really, I believe this, is
a constitutional amendment to add safety to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.
Really? And it's complete crap. You know, this, this guy's
just horrible and this stuff has to go away. And
that's what he's angry. And in the later iterations or
posts, I should say of what he does on X,
he's now saying it's safety is a fundamental right. So
people, they'll be demanding their rights, the right to safety.
Give me Fox, Fox cameras. That's what this is about.
It's the pitch. Well, he's talking about where you feel
safe. Yeah. It very much depends. on the culture there
are places in the united states that you still feel
very safe to walk up and down main street the
united states was any main street was pretty safe 50
years ago not like now it's changed a lot no
not chiraq and new york and l.a and you're very
familiar with new york and l.a and i'm pretty familiar
with chicago And it's not a picnic. Still nice places
in the city to go, but... But his argument about,
oh, if you're rich, you're safe and happy, not true.
Indicative of that, there's a guy, not a dumb guy.
Steve Wynn, probably the most influential guy ever to fool
around in Vegas, and the most successful. He had a
big casino before he passed away there. Yeah, he had
a big, I don't know if Steve was dead. Is
he dead? Really? He passed away a year or two
ago. Okay. Well, he. He built a house. on 3
Acres 27th Street. feed and I think he spent 110
million on this thing which he could afford you know
beautiful it's just crazy spectacular stuff and you know they
put on the market 10 years ago for around that
price and it finally sold for 45 million. And Because
you can live in the greatest place up on the
hill with nine foot walls, like Garrett Langley said, but
eventually you have to go south or decrease your altitude
and move among the populace and the Vox Populi. And
if what you're seeing is. wire and bars and people
living and hijacking, carjacking, you're not going to want to
live mansion on the hill anymore. And that's what happens.
That's what happens. And that is exactly why they do
it. They're the concept which came out a few years
ago that really made some headlines. I mean, if you're
paying attention, if you're not, then you're not going to
see it. But the whole concept of the 15-minute city,
they called it, where they wanted everybody to live in
the highly populated... Well, you ask yourself why? Well, because
that's already voting the way they want, you know, the
Democrats. Come on in. We're going to. Sure. We're going
to control every. of your life, which is, as we've
learned for the last 19 years on no agenda, what
a lot of this is about, which is, oh no,
they say safety, Larry, but what they really mean is,
well, freedom goes. Of course, yes. And before we get
to a very extended donation segment, people love John C.
Dvorak. As they should. things I just wanted to hit
on the Iran war and then we This is a
CNBC clip talking. a poll which we can bring you
those numbers just to set sanity to this, which I
don't know if he could really do that anymore. Sanity
is such a loss. - Trump was on his way
to Dover, Delaware this morning talked to reporters, insisting that
he has the support of the American people for the
war in Iran and the effort to keep Iran from
getting a nuclear weapon. Here's what he said. Well, Americans
aren't against the war. A poll just came out. Americans
don't want to have gasoline prices, but they're not against
the war. That just came out loud and clear in
a poll. Nobody wants a random. The president also made
a this morning on social media, writing, from this point
forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at
a ship in the strait, whether it be by missile,
rocket, drone, or any other device or weapon, the United
States will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant,
including those located next to or in the capital city
of Tehran. And before we get to the poll numbers,
as far as targeting the infrastructure, this is what Disney
owned ABC News. What they had to say, how they
feel. President Trump responding with a stark warning that for
every Iranian strike on a ship in the Strait of
Hormuz, the U.S. will bomb and destroy one bridge or
power plant inside Iran. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure is a
potential war crime under international law. And this morning, the
real cost of the war is hitting home. this month
alone now the very interesting thing there is these but
one the sound effects are always great yes and I
never really even paid much attention to that before listening
to Adam and John and then it's like you can't
unhear it those nat pops yes and the oh it
might be a war crime well they were careful which
is good because targeting the infrastructure is not a war
crime if there is a military reason behind it, a
military necessity behind it. And part of that is if
you're going to be targeting a place with a bunch
of civilians that... You kind of want to give them
a heads up, but that's fairly easy in the world
we have now. Yeah. I mean, you can put out
the word, you could drop pamphlets, you could do all
sorts of things that are like, yeah, you don't want
to be anywhere near this. So it's not a war
crime. I mean, really, nobody would ever win a war
if you're like, well, you can never hit their power
infrastructure or bridges or anything they need to fight back.
It doesn't make any sense. But the poll that Donald
Trump was talking about, I think it's interesting because polling
is greatly dependent upon the way the questions were phrased.
You can get people to say almost anything that you
want in a poll. There's no question about it. This
poll that Trump was talking about was a McLaughlin poll,
which John McLaughlin works for Trump. So he is the
in-house pollster. With that said, I've followed his stuff over
the last 10 years or so, and he has a
pretty good track record. So I'm not totally discounting. what
he has to say, but you always have to point
out. data is coming from because it's so easy to
manipulate a Sure. The questions that were asked, agree or
disagree, Iran should not be allowed to block, attack, mine,
or extort ships in the Strait of Hormuz. 72% of
the people agree. Only 18% of the people disagree. Agree
or disagree. The United States must finish the job in
Iran once and for all. percent agree 28 percent disagree
hmm last would be on a different topic but only
agree or disagree only United States citizens should be allowed
to vote in elections 82 AGREE. 12% disagree. And finally,
along with that, should voters, voters should be required to
show a photo. a ballot, 78% agree, 17% disagree, which
shows you if those numbers are even close to being
correct. Just how far touched the Democrat Socialist of America
and the other really is. And if they don't pass
that SAVE Act, look out, baby. I know. It's all
fake and gay. It is all fake and gay. Politics
overall is always, but... Well, before we get too far
afield from Iran, I hope I said to this... China
sells weapons to Iran? Do you have that in your...
Oh, yeah, this raises an interesting point, you might take.
President Xi told you that China would not give or
sell Iran any weapons. There's a new report that Iran's
about to get 400 rocket launchers from China. Well, that
would be surprising. I mean, things like that happen, but
that would be surprising. He told me very strongly he
wouldn't partake, but he knows I'd be quite disappointed. Now,
they left out the critical part in the audio that
just didn't come up, but this audio appeared under a
headline, Darren, that said, China to arm Iran with hundreds
of manpads. What's a manpad? a really bad product. Well,
I thought these might only be deployed by the Dylan
Mulvaney division during select days of the month. Wow. And
they're only good for one use only. It must be
properly disposed, right? having a stroke. I saw that, man
pads. Really, what a funny name, okay? And it says
that the contract covers the purchase of between 300 and
400 man portable air defense systems. These things look kind
of like a bazooka, I guess. But I'm wondering if
Xi is screwing with Trump and Hegseth, just naming the
device a man pad. Or maybe there's a shadow war
department. Dick Levine who can say who can say there
is no way to know that is the issue and
The word from Donald Trump was he talked to not
only she, but it was also Putin was included that
both of. agreed not to be helpful to Iran in
any way, shape or form, whether that's true or not,
man, that's, uh, that's impossible to really know. Yeah. You
know, that is, I don't know how you, uh, you
know, how you can prove that one way or the
other. But bizarre stuff going on in the world. This
is why... There always is. It's good for the show.
This is why no agenda can't go away. There's always
something. Always. today including one sir chris wilson coming out
of retirement very exciting very exciting and there's a few
that have no ai in it so people are going
to want to stick around and listen to that And
of course, the treasure part is when you send in
a donation to the show. But part of the talent
as well is the artwork. And man, I can't believe
they're going to let me be the guy to talk
about and pick the art and criticize. The artists are
probably shaking in their boots. Yeah, let them. 1889 winning
art from go Scaramunga. Ah, well done, Scaramunga. Well done.
He is the babe guy. Yes, he is. Just a
beautiful piece of Nancy Dvorak looking quite pleased being in
the middle of a bunch of hot angel babes. Cad
2. I had to find any to criticize with my
inner It would be, ah, the chicks are playing football.
It should have been sumo. Yeah, they should have been
wrestling. But otherwise, just... of beautiful art and Francisco's Garamanga.
I mean, he knows. Is the AI guy winning? images
and videos the videos as 15 second Oh, they're extraordinary.
He's done something run longer, I'd say two, three minutes.
He's like a specialty of sort of Italian-looking movies from
maybe the 50s. He has that sepia look, that tone,
and they're just dynamite. I don't know how he does
it. Some of that stuff is just magic as far
as keeping characters from frame to frame. The old AIs,
it would be a totally different person moved and came
back. But now it's almost like magic. This is where
the AI is really going to be good. Like, hey,
do you want to watch Friends, but you really don't
like whichever actress? Well, you could just swap in a
new one. That's going to be what Scaramanga will be
doing. It's like magic. And in the newsletter, I did
laugh at the Tyler Brown piece, which was the book
that just said bullcrap. Wins you very much in the
JCD vein and I don't think anybody can hear bull
crap at this point and not think of JCD. Yes.
As I said. treasure coming in today a lot of
donations and uh and larry and i i understand finally
what it means when you say the spreadsheet got blown
out. Yeah, staring at that. Whoa. Yes. Again, guy with
one eye here, so with the challenges on here. And
then we'll have to try the, I am not going
to be as fast with the clips as... especially since
I've got to have that on the side screen because
the
Read the spreadsheet is on the big screen. But we
do have a bunch of people to thank today, starting
with Matthew Hosko, who came in from Orlando, Florida, with
$1,088.33. So that's magic numbers and JCD magic numbers. Indeed.
He says, in the morning, John, Adam, and Mimi, I'm
sorry that this is what got me to finally donate,
so I thought it was only appropriate to make it
an Insta night. I was at an In-N-Out. I wish
we had In-N-Outs around here. Oh, yeah, they're great. And
was order number 33. I knew it was time, but
I didn't know that Buzzkill had left us. I was
catching up on the greatest podcast in the universe and
started playing 1888 while working. That's how I found out
the sad news. Please knight me, Sir Matt of the
Flight Levels. To quote John with my favorite of his
catchphrases, John, you really are dynamite. To the Dvorak family,
you are in my prayers. Adam, congratulations to your family.
Cleo is a gift from God. Fair skies and tailwinds,
JCD. Well, thank you, man. Thank you, man. Coming in
next, Alex Mandel with $1,000. different notes so I click
a different button all the magic just kind of happens.
Oh isn't that cool. Sure if it works. Wait, I
shouldn't have said that. Sorry. He says, dear Noah Jenner,
I've been debating doing an instant night for a while
and I kept putting it off because I wasn't sure
if it was really worth it. I was okay living
life as a douchebag and solely hitting others in the
mouth. After all, you were just some guys that I
listened to at work and in the car. Now that
John has passed, I know just how wrong I was
and how important both John and Adam have been in
my life. An unreplaceable staple of entertainment, information, and stories
for the better part of the last decade. Love you
both. Mina and sending love to the Dvorak family and
all of the other products of the No Agenda show.
Jingles, Alec Jones, chemtrails, frogsgay, oh there that has to
be it. See frogs gay. Can I make this bigger?
Maybe. I mean, I see there's a lot of... This
is gonna be such a learning curve. You know, I
could probably just search frogs. Really, Adam is like a
symphony conductor with all these things. I don't know how
he does this. I don't either. It's like magic. It
really is. I don't like them putting chemicals in the
water that turn the friggin' frogs gay! Adam was getting
pretty good, though, with his Alex Jones voice, too, I
will say. Yes, yes. And sure, Alex says, please call
out. Chuck the Trucker. Now that's an interesting name as
well. Douchebag. That was the call out? Yeah, for Chuck
the Trucker was a douchebag. So come on, Chuck the
Trucker, get on. Yeah. And for the roundtable, a bowl
of red Texas-style chili from Green Bay, Wisconsin. That I'm
still scratching my head, Alex, but I'll go along with
you. the red Texas-style chili, and a protein powder white
Russian. So I guess he's staying healthy while getting his
drink on. Not a bad idea. Sir Alex of the
Floyd River Valley. And we thank you for your support
of the best damn podcast in the universe. Sir Lucas
of the Lost Bits came in with $888.88 and just
says, Sir Lucas of the Lost Bits, JCD, you will
be missed. And yeah, that is an understatement. Yeah. Do
you want to take the next one? Sure. We've got
Sir Harrison of the Rednecks from Beaumont, Mississippi. MS is
Mississippi, huh? 888 Hattiesburg, Mississippi. And let's see. What is
he saying? Switcheroo. 500 of this goes to Sir Gopher
Gold. God bless the Dvorak family. God bless the Curry
family. You guys have been such a staple of my
amygdala shrinkage diet. Love you. Mean it. Commodore Sir Harrison
of the Rednecks. you've got Karma. It is magic. It
is. Zerproteus, Newark, Delaware, 888-88. And also, no jingles, no
karma. Well, thank you. Yes. Thank you, sir. Give him
a little double up. That's it. Yeah. Emily and Spiro.
Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, go ahead. Tammy and Spiro from
St. John, Indiana. 526.36 from Tammy and Spiro, longtime listeners,
two infrequent contributors. We love you and JCD. God rest
his soul and good luck in the future. And again,
no jingles. I'm loving these people. Makes it easy, huh?
you've got - when it's only on the same one,
then I don't have to find it. It's just there.
Robert Weber from Trabuco Canyon, California. of that place towards
the resurrection slash reincarnation of john whichever gets him back
he was such an important part someone a little a
fellow cranky old man can relate to it'll be sad
to hear new episodes without his voice we echo that
and uh but he was cranky in such a good
way He was. He really was. And, you know, I
was thinking, thought a lot about him. He was an
acquired taste. The more you heard, the more you liked,
really. And I think something about John that he had
that so few people have, and I'm going to say
he's in the entertainment business because he was for 18
years. John was devoid of schtick. heard him talking, it
was exactly who he is. You know what I mean?
Very few performers, what you hear publicly is not what
he's saying across the dinner table or when he's shaving
his face in the morning. You know what I mean?
It's kind of, there's a touch of a put on
in there. But John was ridiculously honest and authentic, you
know? Absolutely, and there was no jingles in there. It
was Tammy and Spiro were $526.36, Robert Weber $500. You
forgot the amounts. Sorry. karma This is called "Two Old
Guys Get Used to Reading a Spreadsheet." Exactly. You want
to do the next? Sure, this would be Tim Hedrick,
I guess. West Bradford, Pennsylvania, $500. Hi, Adam. I wanted
to say I'm sorry for the loss of your friend,
John. I can't imagine what you're going through along with
his family. I initially thought the news was fake, or
that I read the newsletter incorrectly when it went out
about John's passing. I'm a little late to the no
agenda party, but I was glad to find you guys
when I did. Your chemistry was so great and complimented
each other so well. I really don't know how you'd
move forward. I don't envy your position because naturally people
will be mad or complain about whatever is next to
work together with you. I actually bought a road caster
during COVID and tried to do something with my wife.
I even figured out how to clip stuff and have
sound effects. It was fun and exciting because it was
a new challenge for me. I've owned, operated this auto
body business since 2012 and it sucks. Insurance companies suck.
Yes, they do. battle. That's why you guys were great.
I could get real news from you guys and then
go home and tell my family to chill out about
the doom and gloom. I've since listed my podcasting stuff
on eBay, but would really like to get back into
doing something with it. I'm kind of an idiot. You
had mentioned the hyper-local podcast thing before. Is there somewhere
I can find more information about it? I live. We
have a trans mayor who says some wild things on
the internet. That's Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Good luck with everything moving
forward. I wish you the best, Tim. This guy is
so brave. Doing a podcast with your wife. Adam Curry
pulled it off. A lot of people, that could lead
to divorce. I wouldn't try it. That just would not
be good. My wife would not want to spend that
much time talking to me. And then the things that
I would find entertaining, you'd get that look like, no,
no, that's not for public air. As far as the
hyper-local stuff, I mean, it's... just cover your area. I
mean, that's the beauty of it. You don't have to
go out there with, Hey, we're going to be covering
the whole auto body business or we're doing this. Like
just do a podcast, name it about your town and
start small. Yeah, and if you want to... If you
want to kind of browse or comb for possible listeners,

a beginning maybe get some stickers or put some you

have a couple that are like the old-fashioned grocery stores
don't they still have like the peg you know board

a small town, it shouldn't be hard. Or just walk
door to door and put a little wire in. Like,
listen to the podcast. Go here. Go to get a
podcasting 2.0 app. Either way, let us know if you
start that up, Tim. Because, I mean, if you need
any help, I can help you out with that kind
of stuff. coming in. No jingles there, so. you've got
Harma. Next on the list, J. Kelly Rapier from Frankfort,
Kentucky, which is $500 was a check and no notes,
so double it up. Thank you, J. Kelly. Karma. Next
is Victor Gregg from Corvallis, Oregon. Okay, yeah, Corvallis, I'll
buy that. I mean, I... I know people every now
and then were like, John can't get the names right.
I'm like, I'm going to be so much worse at
getting the names of towns right. I need to cheat.
I need to look them up. Have Grok give me
an explanation. pronunciation on it but Victor comes in with
409 40 In the morning, condolences from Baron Victor of
the Willamette Valley. I started reading John's columns and seeing
him on panels at tech shows during the 1980s. I
met him more than once prowling the aisles. He was
always good for a hello when I saw him. And
no jingles, no karma, so... you've got Karma. Looks like
we've got Quinterox Inc. of Bradenton, Florida. $350.93. Goodbye John
donation. He was like the father I always admired but
never met. There's a statement. The amount of people. that
were touched by John and I get it. I mean,
we only had a few emails going back and forth,
but was a part of your life for well over
a decade. And I remember going back to him giving
Leo crap, which was always the best part of Twit.
And when he did... The end. it had to be
cranky geeks where he would throw the little thing, like
the card, like David Letterman was. And I'm like, Oh,
it's okay to, you know, emulate things and make fun
of them and, and rip off the bits from other
people and kind of take it and make it your
own. And. Hmm. You get to... Somebody pointed that out
on one of those last two JCD. episodes that you
know he didn't know you but you knew him there's
no doubt about it so people i didn't know him
it's like but you did It seems like he was
the guy we hear in each one of those episodes
that we had over the last 19 years, as you
said, authentic. Which is one of the biggest compliments Larry
ever gave me early on was like, well, your podcast
is authentic. And if you can do that. That is
going to get you way further than trying to... pretend
that you're something else. Good idea. Ray Javier coming in
from Davis, California with $350.58 says, In the morning, my
wife and I were shocked when we heard of John's
passing. He became the father figure we didn't know we
needed. We've been listening to every No Agenda episode since
2021 and will always cherish what we had for twice
a week. Sorry for being a douche for so long.
Don't have to give him a dedouching. You guys put
on incredible performances week in and... and week out, and
the value generated was immeasurable. Whenever we drove up and
down 80 and saw Albany Hill, we always wondered which
house might be John's and thought it was so cool
to hear No Agenda live while passing by. Our deepest
condolences to Dvorak and the No Agenda family. And that
comes from Ray. You've been dedouched. Next one there, please.
All right. This is from Matt S. from Rosedale, New
York. 343.75 I would never find anywhere else. Never underestimate
your impact on us all. From my wife, our little
guy, and I, we want to send our love to
JCD's family.

you for turning me on to the show when I
lived in Hoboken, New Jersey. Sir Smokes-A-Lot, now in New
Hampshire. Sir DJ Fuji, and our dear friend who left
us early and is with JCD, Super Steve. He is
a knight, but don't remember his name. This is my
first donation. As long-time listener, please de-douche me. You guys
helped get me through the chaos of COVID. No jingles,
just five-second pause to remember the cranky old man's voice.
I'll miss hearing it eternally grateful. now a family man
in Queens. Okay, so we're de-douching and then a five
second pause. You've been de-douched. And E&J Electric coming in
from Colorado Springs, Colorado with $333.88. And there's an attachment.
That is a beautiful area. I haven't been there since
I was 10 years old in a place called the
Broadmoor with my parents. And now I probably can't afford
it because I'm a podcaster. Just a beautiful area. And
this was a very interesting donation note because it comes
in, which looks like it's an invoice from his company.
But instead of invoice, it says donation note with a
reference of $333.88. I mean, the whole bit. And he
says ad spot, but it's not really an ad spot.

telling myself that I need to get this donation out
before one of you actually finds an exit strategy, dot,
dot, dot. My last donation was a handwritten note with
one crisp hundo read by John back when you would
read everything above 50 bucks. I'm not on the internet
much. My only knowledge of John was no agenda. I've
never seen video clips of him and have only seen
a handful of pictures. Well, you should go look for
some of the videos. They're great. This was a theater
of the mind that I really enjoyed having listened to
him for 15 plus years. My brain was constantly filling
in the blanks. It's nice to hear everyone's stories as
it helps to paint a more complete picture of JCD.
Well, thank you very much, Justin. It is appreciated. You
want to do the next one there, Larry? Yes, we
have Charles Neal from Austin, Texas, 33333. jingle And a
big bowl of it at the round table. Thank you

Chap Williams coming in from Edmonton, Oklahoma. $333.33. via a

jingles, and... We can double up. Yeah. You've got... karma.

that's where exactly probably what I would have said as
well. Of course. He says, I had no idea that
a man I'd never met and listened to more than
my girlfriend. Oh, don't tell her that as she herself
pointed out would cause my eyes to leak this often.
Dame tooth. Hola. And I have put John's picture on
the wall of our office for guidance and much needed.

I'm not even going to try. And to Mimi and
the kids, stay strong and thank you for all of
your courage. Well, thank you, Sir Remco. And I'm sorry
for butchering your name and probably city. You've got Harma.
Okay, Manuka Gold from Hudson, Florida, $250. From the Manuka
Gold family, just a donation to keep supporting the show.
We hope Adam has a nice break. And a reminder
that Code Freedom for 20% off is still active at
ManukaGold.com to celebrate America on her big 250th birthday. Well,
thank you. I mean, they actually acknowledged that they knew
we would be the Yahoo's reading and they donated that.
Isn't that cool? Yeah, thank you. I hear their stuff's
really good. I'll have to get me some. Yes. And
coming in next, CJ Schmock from Nantucket. $250 with the
note that says worst exit strategy ever. will be missed
and yeah this is uh this is certainly not the
best exit strategy Darcy Morris of Hanover, Massachusetts, 238.88. This
news sneakily hit me in the feels. Sorry to hear
about JCD. Sending 88.88 plus 50 for each of the
three jamokes uttered since my last donation. Take care, Darcy.
You've got... Karma. Patrick D. Buote from... What's it? Musta...
Let's see. Muska-do-bo-it? Muska-do-bo-it? Harbor? Is that it? Nova Scotia.
Well, I know it's Canada, so at least I've got
that. He says, as I sit at the computer with
a heavy heart, I struggle to type my thoughts and
feelings. Both John and Adam have become mentors to me
over the last six years or so. John was one
of those people you could only come across every so
often in life. I always admired his ability to articulate
his opinions in such a clear and concise manner while
keeping his cool for the most part. Oh yeah, there's
audio clips. Whether I was hearing about another unique career
he had use of a word I had never heard
of, John never ceased to impress me. I had hoped
one day to meet him in person in a way
I feel like I had already done so through this
amazing show. Rest in peace, JCD. Sincerely, Patrick. And he
came in with 23636. And I missed that because of
the name of the city, probably. And you can do
the next one before. David Powers from Bangkapi. I don't
know where this is, Darren. The initials are TS for
the nation. Thailand? What's TH? I don't know. TH. I
should know. Shame on me. David says, hey, y'all, sending
all of the love and my sincerest condolences to... Amazing
listening and reading so many wonderful accounts about John on
NA and X, and the positive impact he had on
so many of us for so many years. There's so
much I want to say, but in honor of John,
we'll do my best to keep it short. I've been
hitting people in the mouth for years, but this is
my first monetary donation, so please de-douche me. I would
also like to ask you for all of your No
Agendas family to help in getting my YouTube channel monetized.
I'm getting there, and every bit counts. cities, mostly Bangkok,
Thailand, and filmed POV walks and motorbike rides partially as
a way to document these cities during these times, but
also to give people from other countries a glimpse into
what other people's day-to-day lives look like. They're great to
have on in the background while you're working for the
ambient environment, but there's always near things to see if
you watch. I have plans to travel more when I
finish my Thai language studies, as well as new series
for the channel exploring cuisines Southeast Asia and beyond. Please

also need jobs karma and dealer's choice of a clip

got... jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs karma Coincidence? I
think not! Hey, did that actually work? You know, I
noticed in the troll room, I totally forgot to count
the trolls! Uh oh. How could I forget to count
the trolls? Oh no, train wreck! Right now, we've got
539 people listening with a peak of 888. So, I
mean, thank you to everybody. Yes, thank you. For coming
out to hear us try not to totally destroy Adam's
intellectual property all in one quick afternoon. It is very
much appreciated. We got those jingles, and what do we
got next? Michael Flynn, I think, from Spokane. Or Spokane,
as they say. Yeah, Spokane, Washington. $218.89 in remembrance of
John C. Dvorak. Then, Climpsy Scaliano with "Parts Unknown." $210.60

think about it. The first six hours of tribute were
rough. I get that. I'm thankful for the seven hour
plus hours of clips to make me laugh. Clint C.
Galliano, realtor in South Louisiana. the, uh, with JC, I
didn't know. I knew it was going to hit me
at some point. But it was just at the end
of the pre-show. And again, I know that was him

199.02 with no jingles, no karma. So that is very
much appreciated. I think we missed one on the other
one as well. you've got karma. Dame Stacey of Yellowstone

Dame Stacey of Yellowstone County and the Black Hills. Then
we have Amanda from Minnesota, Minnesota Nuts with $198.89. Donating

never imagined it would be under these circumstances. With deepest
condolences, John was...

Kirkland wine. Cheers and thank you, Amanda from Minnesota. And
yeah, JCD, I know he cost me money. My wife
doesn't even like drink wine, but anytime he had a
wine tip, it was like, I got to go to
Costco. We can give him his gift. I'm like, okay,
it's always costing me money. Here's one from stirstregalicious19797. IT

with, but on a trip, that's worse. Haven't missed a
show since. Thank you for all. Love and laughter. May
God bless you and the show. John will be missed,

I feel today. Lisa Mikulski coming in with 118.89. John

deepest condolences, I've been listening to Adam and John since
2014. Thanks to Grimerica. Please dedouche me, for I have
sinned. John was the father figure I never had. Man,
we hear that a lot, don't we? Never met and
the I never knew I needed. He made me laugh
every episode with his blunt wit and impeccable timing. And
I don't think there will ever be a time where
I'm going to forget. Please play John's spooky DONATE jingle.
He would probably have a chuckle at that. Ezra from
Brisvegas, Australia. Beep. You've got... Donate! Donate! Donate! Karma. Coming

you. Leith Crooks. No address. I was shocked to hear
of John's passing. My condolences to the Dvoraks, Currys, and
all the producers. I'm about three weeks behind, so it
will be a bittersweet experience listening to his last remaining
shows. The donation box asked for a favorite memory of
John, and apart from his daily lessons in critical thinking,
what sprang to mind was when Adam would make an
exceptional quip that would crack John's scaly exterior. But there
was always a small delay before John's made an outrageous-sounding
laugh in the background. you It would always be so
unique in sound, and I'd find myself rewinding the show
to listen to it again. A testament to the you

much. And then the next one is Sir Dwight the
Knight from Burlington, Ontario. 93.64 in the morning at... Always
John C. Dvorak. Sir Dwight the Knight here kneeling and...
And I couldn't believe the news when I heard it.
And I'm still having trouble. The show will never be
the same. And I will always listen. Well, thank you,
Sir Dwight. You are absolutely correct. Stephen Mullen, 93-64, whether
going for a walk, run, driving, doing errands, or falling
asleep, the No Agenda Show was my go-to podcast since
2020. As a pharmacist, you educated me. Since our institutions
refuse to do so, please de-douche me. Give me a
break. I had ants. You've been dedouched. Then Sir Alan
of Midlothian coming in from Virginia9364 says, it was a
great run for JCD. May he now rest in peace.
Sir Alan of Midlothian. Thank you. Michael Strychars. No address,
9364, and no message. then John Johnson from Goldsboro, North
Carolina. 93-64 says, been a douche way too long. And
long live John C. Dvorak. And we'll give you the
de-douching. You've been de-douched. Forbes Benning of London, Ontario. 93-64,
my sincerest condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. What
a consolation it has been to hear all the heartfelt
love for John. He touched so many lives, J.C.D. was
with us for so long, that we thought he was
eternal. Well, now he is. Please accept this donation of
8888. Prayers were said for John, real prayers, to wish
him well on his journey to the great meetup beyond.
Godspeed, JCD. Sincerely, Forbes Benning. Surreal. Night of London. Steve
Carrico coming in parts unknown with 93 33 in the
morning. Like many, I came to lean on John's deconstruction
and yours to Adam over the years that unmatched calm
and realism put us all at ease. Thank you for
everything. I'm embarrassed to say, but I'm in need of
that dedouching. Thank you, Steve. And with pleasure. You've been
de-douched. Michael Gilmore of Danville, California says, now that you're
upstairs, $90 rather, now that you're upstairs. Actually, that's the
next one. Because there's two gray in a row. They're
fooling us. Oh, see, that's my color blindness. He said
nothing. Yeah, but thank you, Michael. And then Jackson Capizio
Gilmore came in with 90. and says, now that you're
upstairs, would you ask the owner where the missing newsletters
are and who decided the recipients would be? If he
does not know, have him assist you with the debugging.
You should finally have the ultimate sysadmin privileges. Love, Jackson
Capizio Gilmore. Like I said, 90 bucks, I think. But
that reminded me of the the ham silent key tribute
for John, which was very touching. I mean, this is
the computer guy thing where now you've got the full
system admin. Right. So. If somebody's messing with my computer,
I'll know who it is. Virginia Watts of Ketchikan, Alaska.
Lady Vox. Lady Vox. Hello, Lady Vox. $88.93. Because it's
a prime number with double digits. Yeah. Eric. There's, okay,
there's extra, there's weird characters. Yeah, there's, um, X-N-Y. Y-K-S
and weird zero Y. X-Noy, huh? Yeah, I'm going to
go with Ex-Noy. I don't know. 88, 88. See, you
thought John couldn't pronounce stuff. I really can't. And then
I can't see it, too. Twit donation, please. D-Douche, I
really miss you, John. Thank you for everything you did,
and thank you, Eric. You've been de-douched. Rocket of Brownsboro,
Alabama, 8888. I was shocked to hear of John's passing
and was also shocked to learn he was 80. He
seemed so young, but still one of my favorite OG
boomers. Love and prayers to the Dvoraks and Currys. Rocket.
Paul Weigarn-Schofar, I think, Weigarn-Schofar, 8888, and no, no, thank
you very much, Paul. Here's an interesting one because it's

Dame Mary Paul Stewart thank you Nathan Marshall, no address,
8888. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Very true.
Joseph King coming from Docula, Georgia. 8888. In the morning,
Adam and JCD family. It is with great sorrow I
send in this donation in the memory of John C.
Dvorak. I will keep this note brief so John doesn't
get too grouchy up above, but I hope to express
the immense impact that the No Agenda show has had
on my life. I have been a listener since Adam's
first JRE appearance, but never donated any treasure. Please dedouche
me. You've been dedouched. Media deconstruction, thoughtful commentary, and humor
of the show has been a steadfast companion to me
these past few years and has been such a positive
influence in my life. After meeting my now wife, Anna,
I soon hit her in the mouth and can attest
that it is true that those who know agenda together
stay together. Both of us are devastated at JCD's passing,
and we send love and prayers to his family and
the rest of No Agenda Nation. Find a cheap Bordeaux
in honor of John. Costco should be paying the Boraclan.
Joseph. Andre Harselhorst and Van Den Gorberg of Alphen. Netherlands.
Netherlands, okay. Thanks for everything. R.A.P. John C. Dvorak. 88.88

And it is 8888. Ah, lovely. JCD, where will we
be? Thank you, thank you, thank you, Louise. Sir Jerry
Carl, the Knight of All Things Greasy. Sir Jerry Carl.
Jerry Carl. There we go. How did I miss that?
All Things Greasy, Raleigh, North Carolina, 8888. John and Adam
have brought something incredible to this world. I can never
thank you enough for what John's columns, No Agenda, and
the No Agenda family have given me. God bless you,
Mimi, and God bless the Dvorak and Curry families. Rest
in peace, JCD. Sincerely, Ryan Smith, Sir Jerry Carl, the
Knight of All Things Greasy. Raleigh, North Carolina. And P.S.
Thanks for bringing the word specious back into my life.
And Jordan Frazier coming in with 88.88. Rest in peace,
JCD. The skills you guys have passed on have equipped
me for life, enabling me to recognize the bullcrap. a
truly immeasurable benefit. Well, thank you, Jordan. Dude named Mohammed.
No address. 8888. From dude named Mohammed. Then Scott Penton
coming in from... Tonawanda, New York, 8888. And then Eric
Mackey coming in from Blairsville, Georgia, also with 8888. Gay
Anonymous. From Newcastle-upon-Tyne in Great Britain. 8888. Dear Adam and
the Dvorak family, just listened to Adam's opening in 1888
and it provided a needed release. I was sobbing. Found
out when I read the newsletter, thought it may be
a joke. It's hard to describe what an impact this
has had on me. As an old gray beard named
Ben, I've followed John since his early days on Twit
and Cranky Geeks as he flung those cards. Pew pew,
jingle please. I will miss his curmudgeonly ways, his wit,
and sharp insight. And he just plain made me laugh.
I would like to be knighted, Sir Moor-Bot. call back
to the place I grew up and spent many happy
hours playing as a child. At the round table, I
would like a pint of Riggwelter and a giant Yorkshire
pudding filled with onion gravy, please. Just for random info,
Ickley Moore Bot refers to the unofficial anthem of the
county of Yorkshire in the UK, literally on Ickley Moore
without a hat in the local dialect. It's a sad
tale of a young lover courting the bleak Moore and
his potential death from exposure without the proper headgear. Lovely.
We sang this in primary school. A 737 sized hole
in your heart is truly... thoughts are with you all
soon to be sir sir more bot at anonymous and
i believe this is the jingle I think that's it.
I know there's others. That sounds like pew-pew. Yeah, I'm
spinning. I'm spinning in place. Welcome to the roundtable. Next
up, Sir Rob Barron of Greater Limburg coming in with
8888. Thanks, John, for all the great shows. No jingles,
no karma. Sir Rob Barron of Greater Limburg. Sir Glenn
of Raleigh, North Carolina, 8888. My condolences to Dvorak family
and Curry family. I will surely miss John, but hope
the show continues. Media deconstruction. Thanks, NJNK. Ryan Wolf coming
in from Covington, Virginia, 8888 says, Dear Adam, John's family,
the no agenda donation. I've been following John for over
three decades now. In the early 90s, in the back
of the computer magazines I used to sit and read
at Barnes and Noble, John C. Dvorak was there. During
the golden years of tech TV, before it went stupid,
oh, it did. John was there. On Leo's podcast in
the earliest days, when they still called them netcast, John
was there. The Cranky Geeks, No Agenda, and DH Unplugged,
John was there. the show for so for me John
is still there I think I'll hold those few episodes
for a rainy day knowing that John and Adam will
still be there One of my favorite Doctor Who lines
sticks in my head. The doctor says something like, every
time that you see people happy, you remember how sad
they're going to be later, and it breaks your heart.
What's the point of being happy now if they're just
going to be sad? And the answer, of course, is
because they're going to be sad later. This feels true
right now. We always got the happy. Now it is
time for the sadness. I never got to meet John
or any of you, never shook hands or shared a
meal. But after all those years of listening, John and
Adam allowed me to feel a little. part of their
family, like a little part of their family. John's story
is the way he talked about technology and the industry
and the bits about everyday life. Let me share in
some of the happiness and camaraderie. It's a real gift
and one that death doesn't get to take away. Through
all the crazy years, the endless news cycles, the pandemics,
the AI panic, the climate alarms, the constant sense of
imminent doom, John and Adam were a steady hand on
the tiller. especially during the 2020 COVID times when the
media was pouring out panic and fear and doubt. The
two of you were a stabilizing voice of reason. That
meant a great deal to me. And I imagine it
did for a lot of other people too. I can
ditto that. And that's Brian Wolf. Thank you very much.
Okay, Jeffrey Sarkissian from Dollar Day or Mule in Canada.
8888, my deepest sympathies. Scott Simon jingle, please. Don't ask
me to speak the... Scott Simon. Don't ask me to
speak French. That's not going to happen. Suffering succotash. I'm

bless from Spencer and SF. And then there he is,

We got meetups. We got nightings. Nightings. And for the
nightings, we have a layaway night here. So there was
no name in here. I've been at 3333 since 2020.
I got my dameship. I think... One month in, my
husband should be a knight. Can Bruce be Sir Brewikey
of Indy and have Chicago style and a spicy red
hot sausage at the round table if still applicable? a
make good nighting on episode 1888. I achieved knighthood with
a 333 donation. I request a jingle that didn't get
played. I wanted to. Yeah, no, I hear John and
the jingle in my head sometimes. I or anyone around
me says, yeah, no. Is there, yeah, no jingle? Hmm,
let's see here. There's a Leo. Yeah, no. Yikes! No,
that's not... No, that's not... I apologize. I don't have
the vast knowledge of these clips here. I also want
to note a change in my knighthood. I requested to
be called Sir... Night of the Loess Hills, but that
was hasty and I'm not technically in the Loess Hills
and I had to get my note in quick so
if a change is possible I'd like to be known
as Sir Loudneighbor Night of Winter G- be greatly appreciated.
He's from Omaha, Nebraska. for Chris Fulford and he wants
a mud flat report jingle and I don't yeah I'm
not sure there's nothing with flat or mud oh there's
a report hmm there's a I mean, there's a weekly
hooker report, but I don't have a... Put that in
instead. That'll work. Is that just as good? I don't
know. It's the week. Oh, my. I love it. That
had to do something with JCD, and it had to
be. I don't even remember that one. How far back
does that go? I like that. It's good. First off,
I would like to give my deepest condolences to the
entire Dvorak family, knowing how much John meant to so
many that didn't share his name. I can imagine what
kind of solar system-sized hole that has been left at
the family table. I will keep every member of the
No Agenda family in my prayers. as y'all sort out
the after onward. Mary J. more in the hundreds. I
had just recently lost my father to unexpected health concerns.
We're sorry to hear that. The show quickly filled a
hole that I didn't know was there. Two men who
knew stuff and were happy to tell me all about
it. I was hooked immediately. I started out not caring
too much. because he was such a buzzkill. I was
all in with all the crackpot stuff Adam brought for
the second half of show, and I couldn't stand it
when John... deep dive. As I aged from a young
man to a proper adult, in quotes, listening to the
show, I began to see the wisdom in a lot
of what John had to say and began to actually
look forward to what his thoughts would be on many
subjects, no matter that I'm not, no doubt I'm not
the only one. Over the many years of having John
and Adam at my side, as I'm driving around town,
fixing houses and ACs, I have probably picked up more
worthwhile, life wisdom than I have ever gotten from the
people who should have gave it to me when I
was younger. I was always for some reason that never
clicked in my head as value. Yes, I am a
douchebag. Oh, we got to do a... Uh-oh. That's a...
Yeah, we got to de-douche. He douched. I always measured
my value. some of the metrics that Adam likes to
mention. I'm mildly introverted, so I rarely use any info.
the show in general conversation. savvy enough to profit from
the information. ever came to feeling compelled to donate was
when the Ant song made its debut. That's such a
great song. this for granted and I'm mess that it
took the passing of one of my all-time favorites. to
really understand that. I'm also one of the maybe not
so few people that actually got the newsletter but never
opens it, so I was blindsided by that truck that
John loves so much when I opened my podcasting 2.0
compliant app and saw the cover art. I'm man enough
to admit that I cried for at least two hours
in my work van on Friday. I feel you, brother.
When John made it home from the hospital, I realized
how important you guys are to my life, and I
promised myself that I would get on. As soon as
I got my finances in order. Well, John, being the
master that he is, got me to pull out of
my savings account to make this palindrome instantite donation of
$108,001 plus fees in his honor. I still plan to
get on that recurring program at some point, but for
the time being, please, oh, don't de-douche me. Wait, wait.
And if you've already de-douche me, then I preemptively call
myself out as a douchebag. I love the No Agenda
producers. I really do. Really? We have to knight you
today and... Douchebag. twice i'll probably return to my douchebaggery
for a while seeing as residential hvac mechanics don't make
as much brother. Yeah. The Lord provides all. So I
am perfectly happy with everything already at the round table.
Thank you. For my night name, I would like the
moniker to be Sir Christopher the Dog-Headed. For jingles, I
have either or request. Mimi, if you are still in
John's studio. one last mudflats report for the old time's
sake. If you already have the studio sealed as a
time capsule to open in 30 years. You know, I
could actually see John requesting that. Oh, yeah. Then I
would like... also known as a moment of silence for
the legend that will always be John C. Dvorak. Thank
you for all. Thank you all for everything you do
for Gitmo Nation. Love is lit. And we have the
nightings to do. So, I mean, did you get a
sword for the nightings? I did not. Oh, well here.
Oh, thank you. I'll try. I'll take that one. Yeah.
Give me that one. Oh, that's nice. And we've got
a whole list here. We've got. Jay Hall becoming Dame
Uliani. Mira Keck becoming Dame of Thai Chicks. Matthew Hosko
becoming Sir Matt of the Flight Levels. Alex Mandel becoming
Sir Alex of the Floyd River Valley. Charles Neal, Sir
Gopher Gold. Andrew Grasso becoming Sir Grasso, Reluctant Knight of
Mineola. Anonymous becoming Sir Moor Bat Ot. Colin McKeown becoming
Sir Moor Bat Ot. Sir Loudneighbor Knight of the Winter
Quarters, Bruce becoming Sir Brewakie of Indy and Chris Fulford
becoming Sir Christopher of the Dogheaded. And what we need
you to do then is... Come on up. Everybody on
the stage. Is this stage even big enough? I think
so. We want to pronunciate you as knights and dames
of the No Agenda show. I mean, I don't know
if I have the proper coverage to do that, but
I guess. Until further known how. Thank you for your
support of the No Agenda show in the amount of
a thousand dollars or more and we are very proud
to pronounce it took me a long time to realize

and knowledge and entertainment the past few years that I've
been listening and I will continue listening as much as
I can. I brought my three human resources here that
you'll hear on this and our admission here costs $33.30
today. It all comes together. Chickens are going to be
the best thing in the world. Don't eat me, Bo-Dyden.
You're scary. So scary. Love and lit from the Turner
family of New Braunfels, Texas. We are so excited to
have been here today to enjoy this lovely day meeting
some super cool people in no agenda royalty like Sir
Ducifer and Brian with an eye who has merch and
and Scott and it's been wonderful with all of our
families and friends in this beautiful day and you created
this John and it's beautiful and we love you for
it we're gonna miss you and this is devastating here's
our son Holden I just want to pray that the
Lord be with your family and that he blesses you
abundantly and infinitely. Hey, John, I was reading your columns
when I was in middle school in the mid-80s. I
still agree that OS2 was better than Windows. I've watched
you on CNET and Tech TV, and I've listened to
you on No Agenda for the last 15-plus years. You
will be missed. I don't know how I'm ever going
to know what Costco wine to buy for my wife.
John, we love you and miss you, and I hope
they give you a hoodie up in heaven. This is
Viscount Scott of the Armory. And Keeper Christine. Saying farewell
to our great friend John. On our 10th wedding anniversary,
we took the jaunt to California and berated John. And
I actually had JCD Jr. to get him to go
out to lunch with us. So we got to spend
an entire day with lunch. And surprisingly, one of his
favorite topics at lunch was his Android phone. Things changed.
We even got to see... The Lexus. Life's not going
to be the same. Life will go on. My prayers
are out to the family, John, Adam, and everybody. We're
going to miss you, John. Hey, this is Sir Brian
with an I. We miss you, John. We're out here
celebrating your life, doing some swimming and grilling. I was
at the store this morning getting food for everybody, and
I wanted to see if I could find something with
a 33 on it, like a cool bottle of hot
sauce. something but the only thing I found was a
33 pack of maxi pads and I figured he already
had enough to eat. Hey John, Adam definitely I don't
know if this is more for John or Adam at
this point because... We have a wealth. of stories and
advice. and information from John going back 18 years and
that's what we should be celebrating. We love you guys
and we're glad and this is way too long. So
Brian was looking at me like, yeah. This is not
making the cut. Would you agree? That's probably where I'm
going to end. In the morning! Connection is protection. And
this is the reason why. we are filling in and
having a train wreck because you just couldn't have silence
for a few weeks. So we appreciate everybody kind of
following along with us. When we were talking to Adam,
Larry's like, yeah, you know, it could be a train
wreck. And he's like, I expect it to be. That's
the fun part of it. And part of what they
do is doing an ISO for the end of the
show. And so I have a few here that I
thought might work. And one is this one. playing your
harpsichord, citizen, everything is well. Which, after this show, they
might need that. The only harpsichordist I ever knew was
Lurch from The Addams Family. That was a great show.
Yes, it was. Or I'm thinking... Even though it's long
and it wouldn't be something that Adam would do. It's
too long. I think this might be the twofer to
end today's show. You're so fucking fired. That's not AI,
that's real, but I think that may be what we
need to do. But we thank everybody for hanging out
with us. It's been... a a whole lot of fun
and we'd have uh let me i'm if i can
find i've loaded everything up adam makes it look easy
i swear the guy looks he makes it look easy
he's a sorcerer he is He is also from the
future, no doubt about it. Yeah. The next thing coming
up on the Mighty No Agenda stream is curated by
Sir Ryan Bemrose. Is DH unplugged? remembering jcd so you
want to stick around for that one We have end
of show mixes from Sir Chris Wilson. He's out of

Same again. same as Gather around Gitmo Nation, let me
tell you the tale of a man born in 1952.
Now you cannot doubt that, Dave, because the New York
Times reported it, so therefore it must be true. Regardless
the year, it was April 5th to a mom who
raised him right, always aware of the threat of the
Chinese to their toilet paper. The man, the myth, the
legend, John C. Dvorak, J.C.D. From El Cerrito High School
to Berkeley College, though in the belly of the liberal
beast, he emerged wiser than most, his eyes still open
to see. Kawasaki trickle. No matter how cold the weather
may have been the Casanova to all would approach the
ladies as only he could with his classic pickup line
that always worked If you need proof that it worked,
look no further than Mimi. John C. Dvorak, where the
C stands for crankiest of geeks, where the C shows
his discerning taste in clip of the day, where the
C could stand for clip in the whipsaws or chick
magnet, where the C stands for Colonel of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky. The polymath of all men, he has done
it all, be it summer jobs, a construction, protecting us
from climate change. As a pollution inspector, he excelled. He
knew crude oil from the heavy sweet of South America
to the light sour of the Middle East and all
the hydrocarbons they emit. In the end, the only reason
San Francisco still has mudflats today is his diligent, watchful
eyes. Remember, knights and dames, he did all this while
the Zephyr rolled by, fighting off Barbara Boxer's advances each
day. Later, he would conquer all technology, be it InfoWorld,
PCMag, MarketWatch, We love you, John. You're gone too soon.
John C. Dvorak, where the C stands for choosing tip
of the day. Created by Dana Brunet. The C stands
for choosing stocks with Horowitz. S.C. stands for Cosmo.
Now let's gather at the round table, knights and dames,
one last time for some mutton and mead. We've shed
our tears and now it's time to do as JCB
would want us to. Because we all know if John's
ghost were here today, there's only one thing he would
say. Donate! Donate! What day of the week is it
today? What color tie are you wearing? What color is
the carpet in front of you? The advice of counsel

Do the Fifth Amendment. That's it. FUNNELS GOOOOO- Do the
Fifth Amendment. Do the Fifth Amendment. Whatever you do Do
the shift. Do it. Do the shift. I respectfully decline
to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment
to the Constitution. Well, nothing says honesty like taking the
fifth, huh, Doc? Dr. Fauci, thanks so much for joining
us. Good to be here, Bruce. The best podcast in
the universe! Adios, mofo. You're so fucking fired.
