Once again it's time for the programme that has no music, no
commercials, no jingles, no talent and absolutely no agenda
coming to you from the curry manor in the United Kingdom. I'm
Adam curry.
And I'm John C. Dvorak up here in northern California a long
ways off
and it is. The sun has definitely gone over the
yardarm. Here it is pitch black outside fi, what is it for
4:30pm on Saturday, so that would make it about 830 Your
time San Francisco.
Lectures 857
Oh, I'm sorry. I was looking at the second hand. Yeah. It's even
even more time gap between your house and my house. It's amazing
how that works.
So yes, it sounds coming up. It's actually up quite a bit so
far. Seems like it's up for the night think it should be. But
there it is. And we do have sun today here in California,
although we have a lot of high level clouds, which means the
sun's coming up.
It's been it's been very very cold here in the UK for the
past. I think the past two weeks just really cold like constantly
around the freezing point. Which made my Christmas shopping that
much unhappier today.
Oh, yeah. I usually go Christmas shopping the night before
Christmas.
Well, that's too last minute, man.
Yeah, well, the funny thing is you run into a lot of if you go
on Christmas Eve, besides the fact that they throw everything
on sale, you run into and I've done this for years, decades,
you run into fellow travellers who are who are just the same
you know, they're just like you they go in the last day. They've
been doing it for years. And they all you kind of like your,
your immediate friends with all of them and you'd joke about it.
And it's a dislike a whole different crowd of people is
mostly men. And they're out you know, shopping around and it's
the funniest thing is because it's like one of those deals
where you just like your pals with these people without even
knowing them and you're all y'all know what you're up to.
I really got boned I had had Christina I spy on on her mom to
find out what she wanted. Because you know, when it comes
down to the the right, the right or wrong bag or shoes or
whatever, you know, I there's no way I can buy that. I have no
idea what I'm doing. So I unfortunately, I met her after
she was working today. And so I met her after work. And she and
she had to go to go for a driving lesson. So I said oh
here the boots that mom wants. And I said what size is size
three? Okay, so of course they only have size four, right? And
my daughter is gone. So I'm like helpless walking around going
oh, what other boots will do well, of course I have no
frickin clue would you do? Nothing? Nothing yet. I have to
go back tomorrow. I gotta I gotta Shanghai, my daughter into
going with me. I'm completely lost. I have no idea what I'm
going to do.
Actually, my wife this year made an edict, which is that we can't
buy gifts that aren't either hand made. Oh, or or used. Wow.
Is this a part of the stop consumerism? Very proud of you,
John?
Yeah, I think it is because we're kind of sick of it. But
it's pendulum swinging back, dude. It's gonna happen for
everybody.
Well, luckily, there's like, you know, we've got to be in the
Berkeley area. There's like a lot of high end. extremely
competent potters. And artisans. Of course, you have the
Telegraph Avenue weekend thing, which is hilarious. I mean, if
you want to see tie dye, it's like, I think I'll post some of
these pictures. I was there last weekend. What is
the interior of your house? Like? Is it like a Western vibe
or
to collect it?
Gee, how surprising. Hey, all I can say I did some research. You
might. I think you told me you listen to the source code. So
maybe you already heard about this. I wanted to ask you about
Steven Brill. Yeah, does that name
Steven Brill the guy who did the that magazine. That's that Brill
Brill's a bunch of Brill's content. Yes,
yeah brailles content so guess what, guess what else he
did after after Brill's content folded in 2001. Tell us he
started a little known company. Which is so little no verified.
Id systems I think it is who are the people who are rolling out
the clear programme. The verified identity pass. Yeah,
this is the thing at the airports now where you give you
the government your retinal scan and your fingerprint and your
fingerprints.
And you can roll right past the gate. Well,
no, you can't actually you get a different a different line but
you still have to take your shoes off and your bags less to
go through X ray and you still can't have liquids and you know
there's it's just a it's a separate line. That's all I just
found that interesting that he had set that up.
Is I wonder if that's the same because somebody was telling me
about what it is that the only system that has the bypass
because the one this other guy was telling me I had a different
name.
Now there were a couple of pilot projects that ran but it seems
like yeah, now that that Brill's in with his clear programme, he
looks like he's the only guy that that is really doing it.
But it's all part of the oh, what does it call it thing? It's
the targeted traveller programme or something like that? That
would be you. Yes. Now it's a TSA. TSA initiative. And so they
rolled out a couple of pilot programmes and and I guess this
is the better brand or whatever, but you don't know him
personally, I thought you might know him.
You know, I ran into him once. And I don't really know him as
like, if he sees me. Or if I see him on the street,
a runaway man run away from him.
I wouldn't probably recognise him, unfortunately. But you
know, if I maybe give me a comp, not to mention,
as long as you give up your retinal scan, you'll be fine.
You know, they probably have it already.
My wife doesn't want me to talk about this stuff anymore.
Because she's gonna be next on the list. No, no, no, no.
She said, I have a bad you know, Adam
curry, are you married to him? Come on with us.
She says, I have a really bad feeling about this. You really
got to be careful with what you're talking about.
Yeah, what she's referring to, of course, if people want to go
back and listen to previous shows, is the fact that every
time you come into the USA, they stop you for one hour and a half
just to harass you.
Well, you keep saying it's just to harass me, but it's it's
obviously because their computer system is saying that there's a
reason to speak to me. But it's not really harassment. They just
they do that. It's just dumb. You know, it's an inefficient
stupid systems. They've already asked me the same questions tend
to oh, five times.
I get maybe this here's, let's try this. I think we should
start experimenting. Okay. Now this time, next time you come
in, which will be the you know, in a few weeks, I think around
the 15th. You're going to you're going to just say, Well, you
know, they started asking, start asking your questions before
they take you sighs You stop and say, Wait, stop. Second. You
just wanting my autograph? Right.
That's all that's all this is about. Okay, great one. John.
Can't wait to try it. The domain name now that is don't send Adam
to get mo.com
That'll probably trigger something that, you know, that's
probably like a key word that the NSA is like scanning for
national on. Why shouldn't we? I wonder what's the reason for
this? So suspicion.
So she's probably now it's not it's not just about that. But
damn, damn you. Curse you, John C. Dvorak, you got me into this
Confessions of an economic hitman. Yeah, book by John
Perkins. And you had mentioned a couple times get the audio book
and actually did. And so I listened to it over over the
course of the week. And yeah, I think probably the stuff that's
been coming out of my mouth here at home since since I completed
that book, is this caused her the most concern
that she had she listened to it yet.
No, she hasn't, you know, and, and I, and I'm, I'm just about
ready to start showing her some of the the masses of videos that
are out there online, because, you know, of course, I look a
guy like this up this John Perkins and he's got links to,
you know, other journalists and these are serious as dudes who,
you know, have quite a record quite a journalistic record. And
they're uncovering some amazing things. And, and, you know, from
that I wrote what I what I've I rolled into, you know, you have
a lot of these 911 conspiracy videos. I mean, there's at least
four or five well produced ones that are out there and available
online
right now. Yeah. And you know, the fact that group as a whole
are called the truthers. Yeah guy renders the truthers which
is really, which is actually kind of an interesting term
because it's catchy in some screwball way. But anyway, ran
into the truthers seem to crop up as a group and I ran into a
pile of them with their signs of signage and they I think they
should I haven't blogged this because I took some photos
Yeah, they show up at media events typically where there's a
camera so they can show up in the shot Yeah.
With the with the with the signage that says you know, tell
the truth about 911. Anyway, they're out in front of kg Oh,
studios in San Francisco, and then I'm and I ran into one of
them, who I happen to know or she knew me or something like
that. She, you know, you said
you just want my autograph, don't you?
We So using that as a catchphrase, yeah, anyway, so,
so they handed me they have these discs that they hand out,
they tell you to reproduce them and scatter them around. And so
they gave me a couple of DVDs. And they're, it's like really
good which which ones remember the titles because I probably
you know I don't have the title The titles are like also kind of
not like
nine the 911 Empire
they're all I did the DVDs got like a bunch of these
documentaries on each one. There's only there's two of
them, right? Yeah, but it says tell the truth about you know,
something or others is the name of the organisation. I don't
follow that closely. Because they're kind of nutty. But
anyway, so what I started looking at one of the DVDs I
seem to have lost the other one is how conscientious I am. But
the but it's actually there's once you get past a poor
production values of some of the earlier videos, there's actually
some good stuff in there. And there's a lot of questions that
still you know, it seems to me I mean, I think everything really
stems around the World Trade Centre seven
right exactly because of you know, the timing how that came
down the so called command to quote pull it. And you know, all
these all this scientific evidence surrounding the use of
thermite, which is used in demolition. There's a tonne a
tonne of that. And I have to say that, you know, now we're
getting some of the some videos that a little, you know, the
production value is a little higher. A lot of this seems to
come from, you know, this guy would think his name is Alex
Jones. infowars.com.
Is this site? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that guy. Yeah. So,
you know, and that's kind of the problem, you know, as you see
this guy, like, you know, he does seem indeed a bit nutty
when you get into
He also seems like a huckster. Well,
he does that, and it's unfortunate. But I bumped into
so I've seen all these videos, and I don't talk about it
anymore, because it's an endless debate. Right? I have to say
the, you know, the videos that have been put together, Wow,
very convincing stuff. But I found this other site pilots for
911 truth.org. And like, well, that's interesting, because, you
know, there's something I don't know anything about thermite. I
don't know anything about demolition, I do know something
about flying. And very interesting. They, under the
Freedom of Information Act, they asked for the black box data.
It's about 25. Meg's worth of data, and you know, this, the
black box, tracks speed, the inputs on the controls,
obviously, altitude, pitch, yaw, roll, I mean, every single
attitude of the aircraft, if thrust was used, and the just a
lot of a lot of stuff is stored there. So under Freedom of
Information Act, I said, you know, send us a CSV. So, you
know, comma, what does that see us what that stands for, comma,
comma, CSV, comma,
comma separated values. That's it. Wow. So you know, basically
a spreadsheet, and they loaded it into a simulator. And there's
some very interesting discrepancies in that data. I
mean, like, really, really wrong. You know, that just makes
it. In fact, if the data was correct. The, at the point of so
called Impact The aircraft was actually at 480 feet in
altitude. So it flew over the Pentagon, according to the data
that the NTSB sent. Now, that doesn't look that way in the
simulator, in fact, the simulator shows, you know, but
180 feet, so just about a ground level. But either someone
forgot, or, you know, somehow something was altered, and there
was no reset of the altimeter. And so they went back and looked
at the pressure settings for that day, which was three 0.22,
they looked at the temperature, and they know exactly how high
that aircraft was flying. And according to this blackbox data
that was sent to them by the NTSB, the plane actually went
over the Pentagon and 480 feet so you know, at least there's
there's some some stuff in there that I think warrants a some
further investigation and minimum.
Yeah, I think so. But, you know, I don't think it's gonna happen.
I think the official word is what we're gonna have to live
with. You know, I was reminded during there's a little air era,
I mean, this is like the guys who talk about the bomb at the
Oklahoma City bombing and how to explosions and they found that
two things and you can look into it, you know, it goes on and on
and never ends, because you can second guess everything. But the
I'm always reminded of the early reports of, I'll bring this one
up for the nut balls out there. The early reports of the fact
that the planes were flown into the buildings by remote control,
which was kind of us screwball concept of use if you ask me,
but but there used to be, in fact, the guy still exists. They
used to be a kind of a crackpot writer that had all kinds of
weird information that he used to put on the net. And this was
in like the 90s. And there was just It talked about, you know,
in fact, that book, you're talking about the Confessions of
an economic hitman talk about how they like to assassinate
people with plain wrecks. Yeah. Plays. Right. And they because
you know, people are flying around in them a lot. And
they're, you know, they crash all the time. Anyway. And so the
pilots have viral Thank you. Yeah, well, I, but anyway, so
the the Clinton used to have this guy who was the head of the
Democratic National Committee, this black guy, and remember, he
used to be on TV all the time. He's a fast talking character
was really good at that making the Republicans life miserable.
And he died in some mysterious wreck in Africa. And in the,
during some period where he was involved with some scandal and
did the whole thing seems suspicious to me. And this guy
that I'm going to refer to in a minute, you wrote it up as an
assassination. And he had all this information was kind of
interesting. And it could, you know, the bullet to the back of
the head of the body. Nobody wants to talk about things like
that. So anyway, that guy, that guy's name, it was in the 90s.
He was and he was very interesting. I'd read his stuff
all the time, because for no other reason, it was highly
entertaining. And even though some of it was completely off
the wall, then the guy's name was Jay Orlan grab, and J Orlean
grab, wrote up his analysis of the 911 situation, which
included the remote control flying, and shortly thereafter,
his material sites all became kind of like softcore porn sites
with a lot of women. And, and he was like, and you can't find his
essays anymore? No, I mean, if you he's basically off the grid.
And if you do find anything by him, it's, it's, it's it's
nothing compared to what he was doing in the 90s. Maybe he's
getting old. But I can't tell. But whatever the case is, I
found that kind of interesting.
You know, I have to say that, and I'm very prone to obsessive
compulsive behaviour. So you know, I really dive into the
stuff and, you know, I'll pull myself out. And then, you know,
for the past couple of years, I've been looking at a lot of
these. And I think, well, first of all, I think it's actually
pretty good that people are doing this. And, you know, the
more I think about how can we stop a lot of this insanity,
which you can't even explain in a in a in a half hour show as to
what, what actually potentially is going on on a, you know, a
big, big global scale. I think that, that the internet is
actually is is the way that it's all going to unravel. You know,
there are no secrets is my slogan, only information you
don't yet have. So there's bound to be people who know something,
and something's going to come out and it will come out through
the net. I'm quite sure of it. Now, will it get squashed? Will
it get written off as those Kooks perhaps Perhaps, but I
think the the message is getting out. And you know, and these are
very, very powerful images, there's certainly nothing of
equal power to these these videos that I'm seeing in
mainstream media, absolutely nothing even close to it. And
this is, this is just really riveting stuff, you know, and I
have no reason to believe it's, it's dark. I mean, you look at
the people who are giving speeches around the country.
These are scholars, John, these are smart people. They're not
dumb disc jockeys like me.
Well, you know, the problem with that, you know, and I actually
have the opposite take on this. Insofar as the internet is
concerned, I believe the internet's got so much
information, good, bad. And so much disinformation. And it's
can be, it can be so overloaded with Bs and crazy people and
people who are pretending to be crazy and all the rest of it,
that the truth is probably harder to discern. And gets more
clouded than ever before. And so I think you can get away with
more, not less, because of it, to be honest about it.
Yeah, but But it's, you know, it's not like this stuff. It's
not like the internet produces this, this comes from from other
people in there. And I think that the, you know, the way that
it typically works on the internet is, you know, the
things that are kind of complete bubble up and you know, that
everyone's a filter. And I in my own way, I'll act as a filter
for other people. And I don't know, I have a little more
optimistic view.
Yeah, no, I have totally pessimistic view. In fact, I
think I think the Internet can be used to manipulate things to
an extreme and I think we're going to witness some really
outstanding examples of this in the future. Be fun to watch to
be honest about it. Which we're starting to see this a little
bit with my theory anyway with the political Little campaign
because I've still been a believer that McCain is just to
get the chosen one. And and they have to start destroying some of
these guys that keep creeping into the mix to kind of, you
know, almost win and I Huckabee is the main one and Huckabees is
this Baptist minister kind of another's words out there maybe
he's not and there's a lot of a lot of interesting dataspace
starting
right the real campaign is now starting.
Yeah, he's he's like, you know, he seems to be for Mexicans
taking over the country if you read carefully enough. Anyway.
Yeah, the starting and the key, the key one of the key elements
and then somebody has a lot of influences Rush Limbaugh, who's,
for the European viewers, he's a very popular right wing talk
show. He's the one who invented right wing talk, talk radio. And
in 1987, when the when they pass the or they revoke the
law that equal equal time law. Yeah,
yeah, that was revoked in limbo jumped on that immediately. And
within two years, and the next thing you know, he's like a
millionaire with his own private jet. And, you know, a drug
habit,
drug habit. Yeah. But friends of mine who actually, business
partners, got him going, they sold all of his ads. It was an
amazing business in those early years. I mean, just hundreds and
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Well, so he has but the word or at least the belief is even
though nobody proves and he denies this constantly, that
he's really a spokesperson for for the established Republican
Party. The true leadership, whoever they are this secret
club. And so if he's right, and if you listen to him, you get
some of the you get a flavour for what might be coming down to
down and he coined the penny and Huckabee is in his sights as a
target. Oh, okay. So, right. So he's coined that he calls him he
calls him now he started by calling him huckster, B. Yeah.
And then now it's just the huckster refer to them and I'm
so as I started hearing this, I said, Well, this guy's got, you
know, he'd have limbaugh's doing this. And he just the beginning
is the opening salvo. It's about it's about the start, and
Huckabee is going to be screwed. But meanwhile, he's getting into
kind of a interesting debate with this other guy who's a more
interesting character that they gotta move aside, which is Mitt
Romney. Remember, Mitt Romney looks a lot if anybody in Europe
knows movie actors, he looks a lot like treat Williams, playing
one of those evil businessman that he used to do in a lot of
movies. Probably better than anyone. And he has said, evil
businessman treat Williams look, and good looking guy, and Mormon
and apparently an incredible incredible businessman probably
worth billions let you
know that his the Bain Capital his one of his hedge funds that
he's involved in is the I think at this point, the only serious
contender and bitter to buy Clear Channel.
Right? Yeah, he wants to buy which would be a great idea. I
wish he would buy Clear Channel because it would turn into the
Mitt Romney channel. But whatever kidding. I mean,
there's been attempted before the William Randolph Hearst, the
first head, you know, own most of the newspapers in the
country, many of them and he tried to become president and
that didn't work out. It doesn't you can't necessarily trick the
people by owning all the media, even though people like to think
you can. And you don't own the internet and the internet can
cloud anything, as I said. But anyway, but the beginning, the
true contenders for this, for these offices, were not the
really, my initial belief, to about two years ago was that the
ticket was going to be McCain and Giuliani, which I thought
was an unbeatable ticket. I mean, that nothing that
Democrats could put up could beat those two guys. But now you
know, Giuliani still hanging in there, but you know, they don't
want him to be president. And now he's sick or something.
Yeah, something like something like bug. Yeah, but it's but
they call it flu like, like what does that mean?
Yeah, what does that mean? Yeah, good point. Flu like, which
means he was puking basically dehydrated Yeah,
it probably poisoned him. So
the first thing I thought when I read that is huh, radiation
sickness perhaps
that's possible to whatever the case you know, this whole the
race is up for grabs. And I still I'm still believer and I
think I thought you know, because McCain was went soft on
Bush during an era where he was being really raked across the
coals when he tried to run for president some years earlier.
And I And I'm absolutely sure a backroom deal was done saying
look, you Bush's got to be in for this next election. Well,
you're the next guy.
Right? You're next in love. Just
shut up. Get out of the way. Don't do anything to ruin this
because we can't you know, lose to these other idiots, and, and
we'll give it to you for the for the 2008. And and that's why
I've always believed that McCain is so relaxed during this
campaign he doesn't even seem to be you know, he's just coasting
waiting for the, for the fulfilment of the promise later
in the year. This is my conspiracy theory it's not a
conspiracy just you know a meeting happened and this is
what they're going to do. Well, it's
interesting I did see, I wasn't what I watched recently, it was
an old it was an older Meet the Press with John Kerry and John
McCain together. And you're right, the guy just sits there,
you know, completely at ease. But I'm not liking all the stuff
that's coming out of his mouth, quite honestly. And
he's getting to, you know, this is a problem, he's getting a
little cocky. And then he shows up any any she's the only guy by
the way that consistently shows up on the Jon Stewart show. And
John Stewart is like a and then they apparently are friends or
you know, have become friends. And Stuart, of course, as a
night Wednesday is a socialist, but he's definitely a liberal.
And, and, and one of the few funny liberals that knows how to
handle the media, and you know, and get the get the dog knows
how to twist the knife with humour. And he and McCain just
get along famously and they exchange barbs and they. And
it's actually quite interesting to watch this. And I think
that's all part of the overall scheme. Well, it could be it's a
theory. And that's when I will actually I usually put money on
the elections when only near the end. I mean, I, I have already
put, I think two bets down that the Republicans will win again.
Well, first, we got to get through, we got to get through
the next stage. So you're saying McCain will will will get the
ticket for the Republicans?
That's what my theory is, but I don't care who gets it, they'll
still win. I don't see the Democrats being able to feel
that and I've taken this bet twice now and I'll take it with
anybody. Really?
You think the next President will be a Republican?
Absolutely. There's
no question about it. Wow. Wow, I don't think the Democrats have
anyone that can field. And I think in fact, my original
again, couple years ago, my, my, my view of things was going to
be a McCain Giuliani versus Hillary Obama. And because
there's a weird logic to the idea of running Hillary and
Obama, which is that, you know, you'll get all the women and
you'll get all the blacks to vote for them. Because there's a
woman in a black thinking that, you know, everybody's an idiot,
and, and you can't lose. So I'm still, I'm still sticking with
the Hillary Obama ticket.
I mean, you know, I will probably be proven wrong, but I
truly believe that they're, you know, so few people turn out to
vote anyway. I believe that an outsider could come in and could
steal this race away. And particularly because it started
so early, the press is already getting extremely bored of
either nothing happening. In fact, nothing is happening. It
just boring, you know, so they're making shit up. And, you
know, that's, that's why like, the Ron Paul blimp works. And
you know, there was real good coverage for the $6 Million
Dollar Man, you know, $6 million raised on on the was at the 16th
of December. You know, I think that's why Huckabee gets, you
know, gets lifted up. I think that at the end, at the end of
this race, we'll see that there's a lot more exposure and
a lot more attention for some of these more like fringe
candidates, I think that's really going to happen. It's
it's, you know, it is it truly is how television works. They
are already bored of what's going on.
Yeah, you know what I think's going to happen after this
election, that somehow the political Politico's are gonna
get together and they're gonna, they're gonna have a meeting,
you know, it's all one party anyway. They're gonna have a
meeting and say, Look, this is killing us this long hoots who
came up with that idea that we should run this election for
like over a year, it's scattered the money because they'd rather
have the money just go into, you know, towards, you know, the
word belongs rather than scattered all over the place,
but withdrew a bunch of maniacs. They're going to have to do
something about this. They cannot do this again, because
which is again, may show up at the end when they reanalyze this
this election cycle. They're going to say this, what did
didn't work to the public's benefit? You know, you're going
to end up with the candidates that weren't leading at the
beginning and then you just have a bunch of money.
So there's no one running the country back in Washington. Did
I not see was it Chris Dodd who created this filibuster to stop
the the new FISA act?
Yeah, I haven't. You know, I hate to say I haven't been
following that closely. I get that kind of.
Well, I heard you say on tariffs. I heard you say on tech
five that it had gone into law that it
had passed. No, I admit I screwed up. It was a mistake.
Okay. And and it was, it was essentially the law, the vote
was to keep the debate going or not going the whole thing is a
joke. Well, the
thing is, is the amnesty for the telco companies, what what this
revised FISA bill said amongst other things was and FISA is
basically this whole wiretapping bill, which says, you know, you
can get a wiretap under certain circumstances without a warrant
through the traditional court system. I'm just paraphrasing,
I'm not a lawyer. But in addition, in the new FISA law,
which expires, I believe, you know, in a week or so, the old
one, the which would mean, wiretapping would have to go
back to the way it's supposed to be, which is like you get a
proper warrant. And it takes a couple days. But anyway, in this
new FISA Act, the telecom companies who had conspired with
the government to give them data about their customers, were
basically being pardoned going back five years in time. And so
I believe Chris Dodd stopped this. And they and they actually
took it off the table. And they won't vote on it until after the
new year, and they're going to try and revise it. And you know,
and try and, and I guess they're gonna try and keep that part in.
But that obviously, is horrible.
Yeah, no, that's a bad thing. But you know, these guys have
played ball. And you know, against probably what they
should have done, a couple of them didn't at least exclaim
they didn't, they said, Look, these guys came in, it didn't
sound right to us that we should be listening to his customers,
because we have laws that prevent us from doing that. And
they just wanted to do it for you know, just kind of a broad
way, just listen to everything, collect all of calls into a big
database, and then go over them later data mining, and we didn't
think this was something that was legal, and they told him not
that it weren't going to do I think was one of the quest guys
and some other guys would refuse, but the 18 T and all
these other guys, sure, whatever, we don't care, you go
and, and, you know, whatever, you know,
I have an 18 T account. That's my cell phone. So that's
probably the Echelon me probably heard me talking to you.
Probably in there, I'm sure for I don't know, I don't know I
there's still baffles me why you're under constant scrutiny
or scrutiny.
Hey, man, we wrote a couple of things down there earlier in the
week that we're going to talk about, do you have your list?
Oh, yeah. Hang on one second. I put a pause in there because I
do have the list.
Well, you got your headphones on while you're getting in or just
walk away. I have to walk away. Well, then let me let me let's
see. Maybe I have something I can play. Maybe there was a
voicemail comment that we had that came in
you know, I have this. I have this bad habit of writing stuff
on sheet little, you know, I have my latest thing is I take
printouts that are that the backside are blank, right. And a
lot of printers, I have a duplex printer, but most of them are
just blank. And so I flipped the things over and I use them as I
fold them in half vertically, and then I use that as my note.
Thanks. So I have piles of these things. Yeah, I use
my my one side printed paper for filters. I rip off little little
strips and unroll that up.
Okay, now here's the problem with the notes I took.
Okay, at lunch.
This is the problem. This is like,
we had good stuff, John.
One of them was like this. It's this is the note and that we hit
then you have to kind of extrapolate Why did I write
this? It's almost like you know, when you're in college and you
you took notes on passing thoughts, usually late at night,
and they don't make any sense. The next day, a million people
probably sent this to you already.
Oh, I know what that is. I know what that is. We were talking
about how when you're, you know, so either, you know, I have a
company's there's 100 people in the company. But you know,
there's, there's a lot of people that I know. And look, I'm
famous, what can I tell you John C. Dvorak, you're famous. And so
what you get when you have a certain level of fame, is that
people send you stuff. And they'll say, you know, you
probably have already had a million people send you this
link. But anyway, here it is. And it's a really tough
situation because the fact of the matter is most people
actually believe that someone else already sent it to me and
then you wind up not knowing fucking shit, because no one
sends you anything anymore. So whenever someone sends me
something like that, I'm always saying, hey, thanks. No first
one, like first post. Great job. I keep trying to. I'm sure you
have the same thing?
Absolutely. I get a lot of these. And they always say the
same thing, which is a million people probably sent this to you
already. But yeah, and then they send you some links that you've
never seen in your life. Nobody else sends it. No, no one sent
it before or after you go, wow, this is interesting. And it
could have to do with the company or working for something
like, you know, you made a mistake on the blog for whatever
it is. Yeah, that happens. Everyone assumes that, you know,
the extent you do have, I mean, there are numbers here, I'm in
the blog, my blog has like a million pageviews a month plus.
And so there's 30 or 40,000 people that hit the thing every
day. So it would seem likely that these 10s of 1000s of
people would say something, when you know, you're just you got
it. So but they don't which because they always assumed that
the next guy did, which is like, you know, I think this is
happening, this concept is happening on a global basis.
Because I know for a fact that when I'm driving past, like
years and years ago, when I had, you know, when I when I actually
carried a cell phone, I would be on the freeway and I'd see a
wreck and I call CHP and say, you know, there's a wreck on
such and such right here, right? And now you get to the EU, I
think most people, myself included, somebody but
someone already called it in Yeah, exactly. Exactly, exactly.
And there's a transition point, because I remember calling those
in, and I was like the guy calling them in. And then at one
point somewhere along the line every time I called them, they
said, Oh yeah, we've got that one somebody called. And then
you stop calling and then nobody calls it in, because I've seen
some of these wrecks out here. They've been there for hours.
Yeah. And,
like, call it in. Right? Yeah. So please consider your
celebrity friends. And do so and do send us that link. We really
do appreciate it.
So anyway, that's yeah, not because now you get too much. I
don't know if you knew this, but kind of thing. There's another
thing I brought on this list, which is, you know, people
Kissinger came out with a comment that we can never we
have son some show, I think was in Europe. He was on the BBC or
someplace saying, you know, we can't, this war in Iraq is
unwinnable because, you know, there's nobody that can, you can
win against because there's no other side. You know, it's just
scattered bunch of, you know, people doing whatever they do.
So there's no, you can't have a table, there's no surrender
table, or somebody can come and sign over here, right? Because
it's just so what's so reminds me just forget it, we're going
to be there for the rest of our lives for some reason. And I'm
thinking, Well, you know, the one thing that I say, Well, you
can't cut and run, you can't do this. She can't do that. And
every time I'm always hearing about how, how, how can we can't
just pick up and leave. I'm thinking, isn't this the kind of
criticism that we used to have against Asians in general about
their concept of saving face? Whereas it's what a bunch of
dingbat, you know, their state can't do this, they can't do
that, because they can't, because they wouldn't be saving
face, you know, they, they would be humiliated, accused of Face
Face Face this concept of saving face. And we always thought that
it's purely an Asian phenomenon about saving face, when in fact,
apparently it's not because that's what this is all about.
It's saving face.
Well, really, it really it's about the United States saving
face in both. It's what I mean. Yeah, in both cases, I'm looking
at the article now. If you mean by military victory and Iraqi
government that can be established and whose writ runs
the whole country that gets the civil war under control and
sectarian violence under control in a time period that the
political process of the democracies will support? I
don't believe that is possible. He told the BBC,
great course that got no play in the US. No, of course not.
Well, getting this from MSNBC, which the first hit on Google,
but now of course, the fact that the fact of the matter is
not to us.
Good point. The fact of the matter is, is that you know,
it's it's all about the flow of money
for an ask as you read that book, I think it's about saving.
I think it's about saving face at this point. I think the flow
of money things already been controlled.
No, no, no, it's it's you know, what just happened here. Here
comes Adams finance segment of the week. No, no. Yep. The Saudi
royal family and Saudi Arabia as a as I guess, a kingdom are
putting together the sovereign Saudi Saudi Arabian fund a
trillion dollars, trillion dollars, and they're going to
lend this money to whom? To us. We could use it to our, to our
banks to you know, to and essentially it's, it's just
money that's coming in, that's going to be paid for more
infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. It's crazy.
I know the whole thing of laundering
money. It's really interesting. So, so Okay, anyway,
So let's make the oil $100 A barrel and then we'll give you
half of it back.
It is $100 a barrel.
Yeah, pretty much. I mean it's not quite as thick as 96 or
something today but or yesterday. Yeah, it reminds
me every single time I see those numbers you know it reminds me
of Waterworld. You ever seen that movie with Kevin Costner?
Yeah. Where? And that's
one of the corniest weird films ever.
Yeah. But you know, what I liked about it was everyone was after
the Go juice, you know, you had to have go juice to make your
engine go. And you got the big pirate ship. And I kind of
imagined that that's, you know, I'll wind up one day like that,
you know, a big pirate ship.
Well, that reminds me there was a good let's see, it wasn't
Death Race 2000. It was, there was another movie, which is a
call from I can't remember the name. But some of you are out
there knows it. But it was it was a movie about a guy who got
a hot like a big sports car, or like a racing car named shot
across the country to get to free California, California,
which was the only free country left in the world. And he was
shooting across and he had his whole time he was going there
trying to kill him constantly. Missiles and everything else was
he'd stop it all his old gas station because gasoline was was
eliminated, we couldn't have gasoline anymore. But all the
old gasoline has had a few inches of gasoline left at the
very bottom of the pumps, the pumps wouldn't go all the way
down, of course. And because it couldn't hit the bottom, and it
could suck up rust as a reason if anyone wants to know. And so
he could take a tube and run it down at the bottom and syphon up
a few gallons for his race gun and shoot off and toward
California. And I can't remember the name of that thing for the
life of me. But anyway, that was a similar kind of thing for
gasoline has become this weird commodity. What else is on our
list? No, no, something more interesting than that. I hope.
We should talk a little bit about the fact that I have
another one here says this is another example of my kind of
note taking. And I'll tell you what it is you maybe you can
says French and then there's an arrow pointing to IBM. Okay,
that good gets nothing.
The hell was that about French arrow, IBM?
No, no, here's another one does promise because these are all
once they get over three or four days old, they'd make no sense
to me. Here's another one. ambulance chasers with an arrow
along arrow pointing to age. And underneath age in a box is
written the word ramps and then another arrow pointing to
nothing.
Okay, I remember parts of this that part of this was about San
Francisco being very disabled friendly. The ambulance chasers
was about lawyers who used to literally wait outside our
building when we were a public company. You're right, right,
right. And then ask women, you know, Hey, did this happen to
you today? Because then you have a sexual harassment suit, the
age thing came from me telling you that I had training, you
know, HR training and in a job interview, you cannot ask
someone how old they are, if you do right and get sued later for
age discrimination suit, but I have no idea what it was in
reference to.
I think we're talking about I think maybe we've been talking
about even the the office romance a book that was written
recently by Stephanie Losee that we covered on a cranky show.
Yeah, yeah. And she was always she was shocked by the fact that
she had all the big agents and all the publishers seemed
interested, but nobody wanted to publish this book, right. But I
had taken that HR course on sexual harassment. And if you
really look into it, I mean, you can't do anything you can't even
you know, say hello to a woman new without the possibility
existing it you're gonna get sued. And so I told her that the
real promise because of these the way sexual harassment has
gone, these lawsuits, that if one of these big publishers, or
usually a multinational corporation published that book
about Office romance, and they had a sexual harassment suit
thrown out. The it would be evidence against them.
Yeah, I think there's something to that. Absolutely.
So in other words, because of the way the courts work in this
country, it's actually in in in it's kind of impacting is the
word I'm looking for freedom of speech.
It is literally
in fact, I think of if somebody would bring up you know, saying
you go up to see you got somebody in the office and you'd
go in and you can't say you can't compliment them on their
appearance or anything according to most of these. And they have
all kinds of documentation in this course as a shortcut. Why?
Because some guy said hi, hi, honey, or got a beautiful dress
today. What boom was in court the
next day, I am so going to get mo dude If so you see me around
the office. I'm horrible.
You should take the course I anyway, by law, I have to take
the course. Well, I don't know why you haven't. But anyway, the
point is, is that, that, where does freedom of speech begin and
end? And where does sexual harassment begin? And it seems
to me that's free. It's a freedom of speech issue. If I
want to say, Hi, honey, that's a great dress you've got on I
think I am under the Constitution have that right.
And I shouldn't be and I shouldn't, under any
circumstances be sued for sexual harassment? No, no, that's not
only
do I think you have that, right. I think you are obliged to say
Hi, honey to me, every single time you see me, that is
absolutely true.
In a dream on. So it's not gonna happen. But anyway, the point
is, is that the fact that this book wasn't published, but set
by a very small independent publisher doesn't have anything
to worry about because they have less than 100 employees. Is a
pathetic indictment of the system. Anyway, that's what I
think. Yeah, that's
a really good point. But who's, no one's gonna go to the mat for
that, though. No one wants to go through the hassle.
Yeah, you know what, that's what it is. It's a hassle. Nobody
cares if everyone's a short time or screw it. You know,
somebody's wearing a nice dress too bad.
I can't help myself. If someone's wearing a nice dress,
I gotta say nice dress. I just can't help myself.
And well, I'd stay in London if I were you. So the other thing I
wanted to say is that, you know, one of the movies that was
wanted people to see and we could talk about at some point,
because we were talking about comics, and it was the movie
Best of Show, which is a hilarious movie, but it has a
guy in it named Fred Willard. And Fred Willard, who's who's
done some of the finest invented was invented comedy. I don't
know how old this guy is, but he must be 90 because even though
it doesn't look that old, because it when I was in high
school, which was a while ago, I saw this guy when he was a comic
team called Willard and Greco. And I saw him at the hungry eye
in San Francisco and he was hilarious then, and since then,
and he was also the guy was the sidekick on Fernwood tonight
with Martin Mull. And one of his you know, his his type of humour
is epitomised by this particular joke, which I'll, I'll try to
explain which is, the two of them are sitting there. So,
Fernwood tonight was a fake talk show. That was mocking you know,
the talk show genre. And Martin Martin mole was like the Johnny
Carson and Wheeler was the was the sidekick. And it'd be the
getting into some discussion and out of the blue Wheeler, which
out of the blue make these strange comments. Which, by the
way, is what I have Sebastian Ripley on cranky geeks fashioned
after he made the strange comments, he said, You know, I
don't know why they've got these ramps on what they put these
ramps on all the sidewalks, just so skateboarders can go zooming
up and down almost knocking you over. It's ridiculous that they
do something like this. And then Martin Mulgoa says, That's not
for Jesus, that's those ramps are for the handicapped. And
without missing a beat, Fred Willard says, That's bull. I've
never seen a handicapped guy on a skateboard.
I had a Martin mole running once. And it was at the Cable
Ace awards, and I was presenting and this is a very industry
heavy event and had to go because MTV was trying to break
through the new cable markets. And basically, it's a it's a big
jerk off session for these. At the time, you know, there were
hundreds of cable operators in the US, of course, and all
bought by, you know, Time Warner or Comcast or whatever. And they
all kind of felt and acted like they were NBC. So it was a big
deal. You know, and so all these tables were filled with these
basically, ditch diggers, what we call them, you know, with
respect but you know, ditch digger because that's what they
did, they dug a ditch and they ran some cable to your house and
they had no fucking service and it sucked and you couldn't reach
anyone and never worked but they acted like they were you know,
stuff it real hot stuff and they had you know, there some of them
had their second wives there and they were all dressed up so
Cable Ace awards anyway, I was there with Patricia and we're
backstage and Martin mall is the MC any any I can't I forget if
we were on like a Deus or I think we're on a Deus for some
I'm not quite sure what the fuck it was. But he announces me is
like, you know, and here's this guy from MTV. Boy, you'd hate to
have your daughter come home with them. You know, here's Adam
curry. And Patricia. She pulled them aside and said, fucker you
grandpa you totally came up to defend my honour. And from then
from that day on whenever we see him on TV, we turn them off so
now that Dick Yeah, fuck him. We don't like him. Show you Dude,
he had a funny career. I remember first hearing him when
he was doing he was doing a bunch of song parodies and
inventions, humorous song inventions that were extremely
popular for a very short period. And then he stopped doing that.
And then he became an actor. And I don't know he's it's just a
strange career. But he went through this one little phase
where he had this fake talk show and then I don't know what's
ever come up.
It kind of comes off as like, he's a comedian, but he's not
really funny. He's an actor, but he's not really talented. You
know? He's just kind of there. He's recognisable. He's that's
it. He's recognisable.
You Yeah, well, there's been a lot of that in Hollywood. So
anyway, so that was the best is show has Willard playing another
perfect role for him. And I recommend seeing it. If anyone
hasn't seen that movie. It's quite funny. It's about it's
about dog shows. So what is the what is the the opposite of Rush
Limbaugh? Can we be that? There's no real art, you know,
that that people keep thinking. I mean, I think the opposite of
Rush Limbaugh is actually Jon Stewart. But nobody really has
been able to go on the left in terms of the liberal side and do
that kind of material. Because there's an and it's it. And a
lot of people believe it's because itself, the liberal
people have, like they're the Chinese people, the liberal
people, people from the liberal Republic,
the liberal people, they have painted themselves into a corner
because they can't be offensive, and they can't insult anyone and
they can't do this. And they can't do that, you know, they
all have to be politically correctly.
You can't say nice dress, honey, you know, like we do in Texas,
you can't do that you can't be funny, because then you're then
you're hurting someone's feelings, you know, that kind of
thing. So you end up with a namby pamby kind of thing unless
you have someone who's a pure satirist, like Jon Stewart, who
doesn't mind doing that stuff, but he's not seen as the
opposite. The closest that anyone comes is actually another
right wing guy, but he, but he, you know, portrays himself as
Oh, he's actually he takes a kind of a weird position, which
is this guy, Michael Savage. Who's much more entertaining
than than anybody. And he's in San Francisco Bay Area, and he
just complains about everything. And he doesn't like Bush. And he
sees Limbaugh and he's the one that promotes the idea. Limbaugh
is just a mouthpiece. And
well, the only reason I the only reason I ask is he has no
opposite. Right? But can we get the could we get that kind of
audience because I quite honestly, I want the jet and the
drug habit.
I can go over the jet, the drug habit I can do without because
that drug habits actually made him deaf. Because a lot of
people don't realise us that way be as deaf, the but oxycontin
when used to in an addictive fashion where you're just using
way too much of it actually makes you deaf. And it's one of
the side
effects it said on the side on the box. Over years will make
you go deaf may decrease hearing abilities and can induce nausea,
he would have had to have set it on the baggie. So if you've
had a hard on and are going deaf for more than four hours can
talk, please contact your physician immediately.
So anyway, so he had to have these implants and all these
other things because he lost his he went deaf. And in fact, I
remember that period where he first went deaf and he didn't
have the hearing aids. And I was less I turned him on one because
I listened to right wing talk, you know, I admit it. And guys,
because you get a lot of information from these guys to
be honest about it. Anyway, so I was listening. I said, Who's
this guy? And I said, this isn't Rush Limbaugh, this is somebody
else because he couldn't hear himself because he he's a
professional, you know, he was a DJ, like you. And he and he, he
liked liked. He was a he loved his own voice. But he had to
modulate it with the microphone. So you'd be up to microphone and
you'd be talking like this, you know, like, Hey, baby, how you
modulate people out there should know that if you're on the radio
and you have a pair of headphones on you can really
control your voice a lot more because you're hearing yourself
exactly. And you can talk a little bit of the
more like this. Maybe send naked pictures.
Anyway, so So I couldn't hear him so so he couldn't do his own
voice. I thought it was weird. It was weird. I didn't think it
was him. I thought it was some phoney and then I found out
about all this other stuff. And then he got the implants. Now he
sounds exactly like it used to. But it's funny if you can't hear
yourself and just like people who are I know a lot of people
that went to way too many. When I was a kid I worked in
factories and I learned about ear protection. So I always when
I went to rock concerts I always had ear protection and I still
wear it and but there's a lot of people that went to a lot of
heavy metal concerts. They never worked your protection team.
They're all deaf. And when when you talk to them, they scream at
you because they can't hear themselves.
Did you leave the lights on? I've always always worn ear
protectors. In fact, you know all the roadies at all these
concerts. Every single person at the show was wearing ear
protection, ear protection. It's a insurance requirement these
days.
Yeah, nowadays, but back in the day, you know, in the in the 70s
and 80s. It wasn't as, as people were, weren't paying attention.
I don't know. They never, you know, it didn't help. And I
think this is lost on the public. It did help when you're
a kid where you could actually get jobs in factories during the
summer. Nowadays, you go around and you see kids hanging out in
the streets. And so once you guys get a job, get a job where
they tell you Yeah, I get a job dude, but like where, but back
in the day you could get work when you're a kid and you learn
a lot because you were on these jobs, you know, to learn and
stuff like wearing your protector taking taking salt
tablets and things like that.
Okay, this just ain't on the wires. For some reason, the it's
from Clarksburg, West Virginia. I actually happen to know where
that is, and I've been to Clarksburg, West Virginia. The
FBI is embarking on a $1 billion effort to build the world's
largest computer database of people's physical
characteristics. A project that would give the government
unprecedented abilities to identify individuals in the
United States and abroad, digital images of faces,
fingerprints, palm patterns, and iris scans. There you go. The
FBI will also retain upon request by employers
fingerprints of employees. Now this is great. This is just
awesome.
Another half hour
related, it's related. Look, the Department of Homeland Security
has been using iris scans at some airports to verify the
identity of travellers who have passed background checks. Who
wants to move to the lines quickly. It's all related, dude.
It's happening. They're rolling it out. They're totally rolling
on this shit out. This is great. I'll put this link in the show
notes. It's like a whole story on the Washington Post. Why
clarksburg is that where the FBI is,
I don't know. It's probably where they can get cheap land.
No idea. No, that's not where the FBI is. Well, there's some
good football teams in West Virginia.
Well, yes, the Mountaineers mountaineers, although they
lost? Yeah, they would but didn't they lose out on the
championships? I don't really follow it but
ya know, they can't get in. So I got a couple of West Virginia
hoodies that now I can't use as a as a as a one upsmanship
thing.
I've always thought they had the crummiest logo, that green and
yellow kind of like, really jagged. W WVU, whatever it is.
Now they don't they have the flying dubby it's actually
gorgeous. Check it out. I know it and it's yellow on blue. It's
perfect colours. I mean, it's a really good looking logo. Okay.
Maybe there's an old logo you're thinking about the but the
flying w which is called the Flying who is actually a W and F
sheshe. Shove together is it looks I think is a very good
looking logo. But you know, now they lost their coach, and they
probably you know, they're not all over the best. The best team
this year, was Appalachian State. There's no doubt about it
again. You've lost me. Yeah, I know. But the two other football
fans in the audience are going to borax. Right.
So what are you doing for Christmas? You celebrate up to
Washington going up to Washington. Now you're gonna go
see the family.
Yeah, everyone's up there because we got to Delray up
there. And so like my wife from the, you know, comes down half
the time I grew up there half the time, but she's got to be
near the deli more than I do. So I'm down here mostly.
So you're really alone or most of the time?
Well, except when the girls are here.
Well, yeah, but they only come down on like the week. Now you
are in Gitmo, my friend talking
about the other girls. Oh.
And on that note, I think we should we've done another hour
show in the future. Should we try and do this daily? Do you
think do you think people would show up for it?
I think if we get a critical mass of weekly listeners, we
should because then that I mean, the only the only money in this
is doing it daily, let's face it. But you know, I think we're
gonna run out of material because we're, although I don't
think we're the boringness guys in the world. You know, at some
point, although the news usually provides us with more than
enough information, yeah, but
but that's that's kind of the problem. I don't want it to
become, you know, one of the in that there's so many shows about
news, you know, which really just makes you a part of the
Yeah, we should be talking more about society, you know, as
opposed to talking about like what we didn't talk about this
week, which is the implications of Jamie Lynn Spears is
pregnancy.
Yeah, now that now there's, there's a topic. I can't believe
we overlooked that one.
Well, I can but you know, there's it's an interesting
topic to me because it's, I get the sense that she got pregnant
on purpose to get attention. You think
it's, you know, it's really sad when you see people caught up in
this do business machine like that? Because that's really what
that is. They just have no idea apparently and no one gives a
shit like Amy Winehouse you know everyone's just waiting for her
to fuck up again or die you know she has been arrested even
notice who that is over here Did no one knows who Amy Winehouse
is you kidding me? Well, I
don't know who she is now. Now she's she's been nominated for
six Grammy Awards. Someone knows who she is, John.
Oh, that woman? Yeah, that Yeah. So hey, this is interesting. I
just want to put so I have the Google News page up because I
figure if we ran out of material get always jump on when he
starts and the thing just refreshed on its own, and it and
it swapped out all the photos. So they've changed this code in
this thing. I think I don't think he used to do that. I used
to get being and the next thing you know, it's all the whole
page. What's
What's your top news item?
What? Well, you had the one from the mine is the FBI plans. $1
billion database.
Right. I just wanted to prepare under that. No troops search for
Afghanistan. Yeah. Okay. So it is the same?
Pretty much. And then the next CIA subpoena thing is
interesting. And rest of it, you know, just
Yeah, but it's more it's just more commenting on the fucking
news.
Yeah, no, I'm not saying we should.
Okay, I forgot to tell you. I got the Yorkshire tea that I
brought home from the office that they sent me. The one that
you got for free. Yeah, that was a Paul Parkinson actually
arranged that. He's, he has a show here in the in the UK. And
he didn't get any free. Oh, you didn't get anything free. But so
I tried it out. And I'm like, and I have to tell you, I don't
think my palate is sophisticated enough to really tell the
difference. In fact, Patricia, she shunned it immediately said
Oh, no, I don't like I'd like to PG Tips much better. And then I
tried. I did one of the like, decaf test. You remember the old
commercials? Hmm. She didn't even notice it was decaf. And so
I made it. I made her a Yorkshire tea. And she nailed
it. And she said, which one is this is the regular tea and I
said, Yeah. Like trying not to really fib. So she thought it
was PG Tips. Oh, yeah, I can taste it. This is PG Tips. But
it wasn't it was the Yorkshire tea. Oh,
you doctor. Yeah.
I haven't actually said anything to her about that. But she's
gonna know
now she's gonna have you're gonna get some you're gonna get
the you know, instead of the T bone steak. It's gonna be liver.
How do you actually believe that my wife listens to this shit?
Well, you're probably right. It's like my wife doesn't listen
to anything. I just you read any of your articles. No, never. No
never does. And have you written books? You've written books,
haven't you?
Yeah, but usually she has do it. She has something to do with the
editing. So it's like she moves on that way. All right. But
well, you know, I think you should check your wife out with
the thing with a T called lifeboat lifeboat tea. Okay.
Yeah, that's an actually a pretty nice tea. Like lifeboat
and of course Sainsbury's Read labels of favourite amongst the
cheapskates in England.
Yeah, you mentioned that but we don't we've we've had that
before. But still think PG is better than that.
I don't like Sainsbury's red label so much either. I think
it's bland.
There are people in America going with that? Fuck. No.
Americans are drinking more, more and more tea. And the
drinking
like flavoured tea. Have you seen the selection at the
office? If you just want a regular tea bag you can find
hardly find it
anymore. It's all raspberry. Have a box of PG Tips in there
now. Really?
Oh, thank you. I'm sure you took care of that.
No, I don't know who did. But somebody did. Nice to get
somebody to loot maybe some shit. All right. Uh huh. All
right.
