Is is the no agenda countdown. Today is April 22 2009. We're
informing you that tonight is the live broadcast of no agenda
number 91 at 3pm Pacific 5pm Central or 11pm GMT, from Gitmo
nation east on a secret airstrip in southwest London, Adam curry
and balancing the axis of Gitmo coverage from an unknown
location to even the most advanced Iridium satellites from
getting donation West, John C. Dvorak. This evening crackpot
and buzzkill will fend off lunacy, conspiracy and
stupidity, the privateers scholars and loyal citizens of
Gitmo nation lend them your ear, because tonight is no agenda
number 91. Keep in mind the spacetime continuum and that no
agenda library is filled by the donations that you make. So I
didn't know agenda life comm or divorce act.org/and Eight to
make your donation today. From the flux capacitor Development
Laboratory of hyperbolic voiceovers. I'm Parker R.
Schneider. And now on with the countdown
sorry, I meant the wellness to do this. Greg bobbin buzzkill
day everybody. No agenda number 91. That's what I call an intro.
Yeah,
yeah, that was pretty good. I liked it.
I told me about and you're so right, because VLC when
QuickTime wouldn't open up the mp3 file. It had a couple of
stumbles there, but it made me through that was pretty amazing.
Yeah, well, VLC is a work of art. It's
a good product. Is that open source? Or what is the deal?
Yeah, no,
it's open source. freeware?
Yeah, I gotta tell you, man, I've learned so much. I've been
on the command line again, I, we talked about something off the
air just the show basically continues when we shut it down,
ladies and gentlemen. And we agreed it would be interesting
if I could actually measure how much time I'm saving by going
command line only. Some people go commando. I go command line.
And I can say with certainty can say, John, on a daily basis, I'm
already saving an hour.
I find this somewhat ironic.
Well, let me tell you, there is Islanders. Yes, go for it.
Because you're a Mac user.
It's totally ironic. You're absolutely right. But on the
other hand, Mac is of course, Unix, and is built upon a long
standing tradition of of a command line interface. But just
so here's how I managed it in a number of ways. And by the way,
of course, I didn't really gain any time, because that hour that
I save by doing a lot of my work and communications through a
command line, of course, I fill up with other cool ways to save
time using the command line, I wind up spending twice as much
time on this shit. But
it should have been the same time net, but get twice as much
done.
True. True that thank you. But you are um, you'd be amazed how
much time you spend waiting for the user interface waiting for
the GUI. That's basically I looked at, you know, how much
time do I wait on certain web pages that I'm rendering, but
certainly email and Twitter. Also, it's just amazing how much
time you save, it can be anywhere from 20 seconds to a
minute per action. And that really, that adds up at the end
of the day.
Yeah, I, I find it annoying. I mean, I know what you're saying.
Because I'll do something, click on something. And I'll wait and
wait and wait. And I'm looking at the clock tick away.
Yeah, that's your life. That's your life ticking away right
there in front is very high. So but once you get into it, all
the tools are there. So I even went check this out. Here's how
nerdy I am. I've configured mutt with Gmail. Hmm. And it's quite
interesting. Once you get it all it takes, you have to put in the
effort to get it all set up. And but then you can pipe stuff out
to VI M and into my outline for the show and, and you can pop
open. And so whenever you need the user interface, like a
browser that renders and you are pretty page with the way someone
was meant to communicate it, you can pop that open, it's just a
couple of my hand. The intent here is my hand does not go to
the mouse. It stays on the keyboard, I should be able to do
everything with a couple of commands. And that's you know, I
base everything on how many keystrokes and fascinating and
of course, you know that I said on our last show that Twitter is
the command line for the web. People are going to be you know,
become very accustomed to it. And to so I think I'm actually
on a new trend here. We're already accustomed to typing
follow, you know or leave or D for direct message. It's not
that far removed from LS. And I'm surprised someone doesn't
have Twitter hooked up to their command line.
I'm sure they do. It must be must be somebody. Well, I'm glad
you're having such a great time typing
for someone who never had typing lessons and is self taught.
Oh, you've never had you never had typing lessons. No, that's,
you know, that's not tradition or culture in, in Europe, like
in the States. It's pretty much you get driver's ed another
thing that is not yesterday,
my son's my son John's typing Holy crap. Yeah. Well, my
my daughter, Christina, who also is self taught her hands fly
over the keyboard, John,
yeah, a lot of kids at this age from about, you know, whatever
age to whatever age, since they've been on these machines,
they're on the computer a lot. So they just scream is
unbelievable.
And I look at how she's, if you look at any kid's keyboard,
you'll see that the backspace is worn out. I mean, not just,
you can react to your bang and that sucker. It's,
it's not just the word. It's like it's indented. Like it's
actually it's some of the surface has been scraped off.
Yeah, the funny thing is the way these kids typed, they never
take their hands off the keyboard when they're typing. So
they type into if they make a huge mistake, like they got a
word misspelled 30 words back, they'll just erase all those
words. instead of grabbing the mouse and going to that one
word, right, like we do. They erase everything just with that
backspace key, and then they just retype it again, it's
almost instant, just as fast, so not faster.
Well, what's interesting, though, is if if they were
taught maybe in school just one step further, which is, hey, if
you're at the end of that really long line, and you want to
change that word at the beginning, you can do question
mark type in the first three letters of the word, it'll
search backwards, then you can hit capital R and overtype it. I
mean, it would save them so much time if they only learned one
more step one little iteration.
To be honest about the types of fasteners I think it would save
them that much time and I think there's something totally makes
I think they like to hit the backspace key. It's kind of fun
to watch. Like pound in the backspace the pound pound pound
pound pound.
Yeah, well, you got me on that one. Man, I'm really appreciate
you jumping in and doing the show with me tonight. Because my
my travel plans changed, like, within the last four hours. How
did that happen? An opportunity came a knockin so I gotta go out
to San Francisco first before I go back to New York and then
come back to San Francisco.
That's opportunity. All right. So opportunity to get you said
you had a bad cold. Yeah, I
picked this up we calculated with a 48 hour incubation time
this must have been all those wheezing coughing Brits on the
plane back from Portugal. God the plane was just filled with
people Hakan, and I know I picked something up and it's
only it's only like a nasal nasal thing.
That's what you that's when you need XYY cam
Zai cam Oh, is that we gotta get
somebody design cam to sponsor us. I might shoot Zai cam
we're gonna take we're gonna take any sponsors on the show
for tech five, okay, good save.
You're right. Because I chemistry works. I don't know
just a zinc you know, it gets in your nose and it does some I
haven't had cold for years ever since I use this stuff
religiously. My wife of course has all the documentation says
bolts just the placebo. I say okay, well fine. I don't care I
still work as
long as it works for you. Yeah, do you take that when you get it
before you get it as a protection? I
feel a cold coming on you just last year noses hold your nose
holes
Yes. With a little of this stuff last year nose holes. Okay, we
should put this up. This is the commercial hey we use I can
blast your nose holes with Zai cam
and boom you don't get cold just stops it's amazing. You never
catch a cold I haven't had a cold for a long time.
Here's the commercial that I for the product that I endorse
know forget about it. That you coffin. Yes. The wakens
so you got the real news thing. I got a real news story I want
to talk about right away.
Yeah, hold on a second. I should do
that now. I can real
systems kind of freaky today. Real News here. I know Jen,
everybody over Data Studio B with JC knee county boy what you
got for us.
So I should have some pictures posted sometime later today or
maybe even tomorrow on the blog. The big news here in the Bay
Area, at least as far as I'm concerned, is that locomotive
number 844. That classic from Union Pacific the longest
running steam locomotive still operating. Of course it's done
mostly to haul around On this museum isn't it was in Oakland
yesterday took off today to head for Stockton. This thing is and
of course it was the place was packed with you know well
wishers. This locomotive which is a which has got these drive
wheels it's got eight of them that are if you stand up to one
it's taller than it's about your height. They're 80 inches huge
anyway this it's one of the most amazing pieces of equipment I've
ever seen. I mean I've seen there are other some other steam
locomotives and you see him and these you know, a lot of people
have a steam locomotive for a little ride the UAV or something
like that, but nothing like this thing is a monster it's huge and
it's got the big wheels it's got all kinds of gears and steam
coming out of everything it's an amazing you look at it you go I
don't think that any that in the United States today we could
build this thing again. It's just I don't think we have that
we all we do is make a little bitty things now. chips
you know someone sent me an article coincidentally today
about the the track width of the US trains which I believe is
four foot five, eight inches or some ridiculous
four foot eight and one half inches. Right. Do
you know why this four foot and one eight half inches? John?
Eight and one half inches? No, my dad used to it's just a piece
of trivia I used to know I don't know.
So the way you trace it back is these are track of course was
built by the British. And the British standard was set because
they built their railroads upon existing basically carriage
routes. And the carriage routes were intended for horse and
horse drawn carriages two horses next to each other, and two
horses. ASOs basically is you know gives you an axle width of
about four foot eight and one whatever inches. And that and
those and those roads, those routes, though the in the road
or that made up the road, of course came originally from the
Romans. So we're dealing with that spacing because of the
Roman bureaucracy. Bureaucracy lives forever. There you go.
Unbelievable. Now it makes sense, though, when you think
about it.
Yeah, that's got to be something it is kind of an odd number for
eight and a half inches
in the world of standards. Yeah, it's kind of kind of wonky.
Anyway, so this, this this giant steam engine, which is just an
amazing product, which again, I'd say I would challenge you
know, I think that we don't have the skills to do these kinds of
things anymore. And this thing was built in 1944 has never been
removed from service. And so it's been running ever since the
things that beautiful condition. And it's just a couple of little
facts which I because I grabbed the sheet that was in the cab.
The thing weighs 454 tonnes
Are you a guy that has recordings of steam locomotives
as they tell me you tell me you have these stereo recordings and
just like oh, that's that's the old? The old 309 Tell me you
have it. Tell me you have it. Devorah I'm
an inch away from the person that you're describing. But I
don't Oh, although I would.
Are you not alone? Is there someone else in our midst
tonight? No. Oh, oh, you might figuratively an inch away. I'm
sorry. I just had to blow my nose. God this is a horrible
head cold. There's a an amazing trend happening in the United
Kingdom that just made me l the F O L this morning. When I saw
the front page of the Financial Times. So while Gitmo nation
East is spending billions of pounds on security, cyber
security, of course, we know they keep losing thumb drives
everywhere, but right but so several weeks ago, actually, it
first happened in Belgium and we discussed it on the show, I
believe it was one of the directors of the Fortis bank,
who was his picture was taken while he was outside getting out
of his car and today with a resolution on cameras 12 To 15
to 20 megapixels. If you got a couple of papers in your hand,
you can zoom in on that shit. And of course it was all about
the bailout plans. Then just a few weeks ago, the security
director of the UK Government had to resign because he did the
same thing stepped out of his car with the with confidential
top secret memos about you know the Cobra team. And so they had
to hurry up all of a sudden and jump all these guys up north
because they you know, they were after them and the terrorists of
course, child molesters, God knows what. And today on the
front page and this is so fun. I wish I wish I could send you the
picture. I couldn't find it online John Hazel Blair's the
communities and local government Secretary She's walking towards
her office. She's leaving a Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing
Street. And she then she's in the picture like, hello, press.
Oh, don't you like my new hair? You know, she's really smiling
and posing and she's got a black little fuck me dress on and
which of course you wouldn't want to do but she's got the
dress on and she got her smart little blazer. And in her hand,
she's holding two papers and Oh, yes. It's all about the the
ministers of Parliament's allowances. And the plans to
scrap their second home allowance, which has been huge
real news here and get mo nation. So while all these these
job bronies are sitting there spending billions on security,
they can't even observe the very first basic level of keeping
documents secure by not showing them to the press on camera.
Why don't there's a shortage of envelopes in that country?
What's the deal? I
don't know. And you can literally see the picture and
she's holding like a manila folder and she's got her bag,
wrong bag lady by the way, and then grasp right there in
between your fingers and the manila folder because he didn't
have time to put it in. But the picture John is just hilarious
if someone can find that, throw it on Twitter. That because she
just has this like I'm so cool looking grin. I've got my arm
together. I'm a well put together woman flashing off the
top secret memos.
Well, now the thing you want to do is you want to use this whole
process for disinformation.
Ooh, because it Yeah, of course. Of course. Right will be there
always.
The next couple of these things you see are probably bogus.
Yeah, you're
right. Gosh, as ahead of the game we are. They're always
ahead of the game. It's unbelievable, but they're still
one step ahead of us. Yeah, maybe
that last one was bogus.
Now but this is about I think this is probably this is
probably real. There's a whole bunch of crap. But it doesn't
matter the end the day doesn't who gives a crap? Who know the
there's, you know, the Tom meals are I have been protesting for
you hear very little about it. But I've driven past them many
times in the past few weeks. They're standing outside the
government buildings, protesting because I don't think anyone
knows what's going on with the Tamil Tigers. And you know,
there's 10s of 1000s of people whose lives are in jeopardy and
they're basically sandwiched in between these rebels and the
government army. You know, everyone's like, the only one
cares about some frickin pirates. You know, it's the
Somali
pirate they you know, they gotta be brought to New York. They
show I saw the kid.
You mean the punk? Yeah, punk.
Did you see him? He's laughing Yeah, looks like he's having the
time of his life. shipped to New York.
The dude's been eaten catfish all his life. He's like, check
it out. My man in Nueva York.
It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. It looks like he's
12. It's
unbelievable. I mean, he's
the ringleader, though.
Yeah, the one and now it's not even the purported ringleader.
Now we know he's the ringleader? Yeah, that's one of our
producers. sent me a note. And then he doesn't want me to
mention his name. We'll just call him Ben. Good. Hey, Adam.
Just listen to the latest. No agenda wanted to dash off a
quick note before heading to work. I'm in the I'm in the
Canadian Navy and serve on a destroyer. We only have three of
these so please don't get my real name. Navy SEALs. Oh, this
is what we're talking about. Navy SEALs would have been
choppered onto the American ships not parachuted we have
people dropped off all the time. Well, let's see. Well, if you're
under siege from pirates, I don't think you want to be
flying. That's the thing that worries me. You know if you got
pirates there. You don't want to be flying around in the
helicopter anyway. Although you
gotta be well, I don't think you want to be dropped in on a
shoot. Yeah, I think you can. I don't know.
Well, he says just to go on almost all ships from all
countries bring snipers when heading off on these types of
deployments. A single rifle round is a little more tactical
than a three inch shell when dealing with a hostage situation
exactly. Why are we sending huge warships over when you all you
need is a couple of sharpshooters I'll assume other
nations have one sharpshooter on board at all times
Alright, that's about he says they also drop off all kinds of
stuff but it's always it's never parachute. It's always
choppered. But this whole thing stinks to high hell. It's a huge
somebody similar to that only it was what was apparently there's
a blogger on the ship.
Yeah, no, the I read that the captain. No, not the captain. I
did one of the officers, one of the officers and it was a whole
bunch of abbreviations and he talked about how they dealt when
I saw Yeah, yeah, I'll put that in the show notes. Erin Burnett
was there on the scene. Egypt. I don't know if she there was a
couple of different news reports and in but she was there and
yeah, I think she was on the ship when doing their coverage
of the piracy and then you know, it's a setup you know, and as
much as it pains me to say that because I love Erin Burnett but
we know that she's a shill we know that she worked for Goldman
we know that she's a member of the CFR. So she's she's the
pretty girl who goes and sells it to everybody. It says what
the hell is going on other than a naval build up in the region
they've got every country is sending a warship there John,
for these 18 year old punks Give me a break.
Yeah, no, there's some sort of a scam going on. The other thing
that they're saying is probably a prelude to an invasion. But
there is a somebody's also mentioned that this is also a
good setup for the new Blackwater to to get some
business
well, two things about that one report shows in the shownotes is
where you'll find it Blackwater is still operating in Iraq even
though they lost the contract. They don't stop they've got
they're still protecting civilians they've got all kinds
of business going on even though they were were thrown out. And
there's something else I was gonna say about
that I was talking about them going to Africa on the ships I
can't remember what it was now. I'm a little fuzzy
never seen you lose your train of thought right in the middle
of the hell interrupt you and then you lose your train of
thought that was a standalone ladies and gentlemen stand alone
you will not be held responsible. But yeah, the
Blackwater stores will come back to you
it will know what it wasn't a Blackwater story. It was about
it was about the military build up Oh, I remember what it is
yes. Okay. Forgot again no a lot of these so Meyer SC, M A R M E
R s k to several the Myers ships have been hijacked. So the
Meyers chips. First of all, they're the hall and their
contents are insured by wait for it. AIG and these are the this
the same company and that's you know, reported widely that
transported arms in the Iran Contra affair. So I just want to
throw that on top of our mountain of bits and bobs as we
try and figure out it'll emerge sooner or later we're gonna
we're gonna go oh, crap. Oh, that's what it was about.
Yeah, but we know the job of our show is to get figured out
before it happens. The people can use rather than the cocktail
party you know, that anyone would listen to
is how you get laid. We will help you get laid probably with
someone who's really nerdy looking and might read the right
wing literature and might be Ron Paul supporter, but you will get
laid
some of those nerdy looking at some of those nerd girls are
pretty hot. So I've got up early this morning and I'm looking out
the window
looking at my window
I walk down the street with a chalet li a chalet Lee walking
stick a chalet really isn't that a Shalala a big giant Irish
walking stick you know it's a big stick you walk with it and
you know it's just a wizard walking stick a big walking
stick with you that has been brought to my whatever happened
to this trend of walking around with it with a walking stick
because it's got to be you know, you get a little more exercise
you got the walking stick nobody's gonna mess with you
when you have one of these big walking sticks like this big guy
you know John,
you have hit on the big one here. This is this is the
perfect premium for this show the no agenda show lately and
you know the walk softly carry a big stick do
exactly that's exactly down here. I love it. softly and
carry a big stick I thought it was walk softly and carry a bit
speak softly
but you walk with a stick you don't speak with a stick unless
it's a talk you speak softly
and then you have a cat and you Why are you yelling your walk
softly he got this big stick in case anybody messes with you
but we could have carved in it and I have no agenda other than
to beat you with my ugly stick well actually it should be
called not a shoe lately but uh no agenda ugly stick
the you know the funny thing is I think that's why that that
term ugly stick came from Lexus she was beaten with an ugly
stick like a chalet these are ugly.
I can't spell Shalala let's just do ugly stick it's easier.
But you know, I've noticed it but anyway, I had one of these
little years ago I never you don't you know I could but I can
you imagine everybody like walking around San Fran Just go
with this
ugly stick I love and a hat and a proper bowler
now they're used there's also the cane which is not a walking
stick No
no no that's that's a pittance compared to the no agenda ugly
stick
so the cane you know people walk around the guy so I'll gather
the cane. I think this used to be a fad or a trend or people
used to use these things because they're actually makes it pretty
makes it easier to walk a less likely to fall over and get a
broken hip, especially for older. I don't know we maybe we
should try to revitalize the this old tradition.
I like it. I think we were talking about premiums. And I
think that's the perfect premium. The no agenda, ugly
stick.
The problem was it is a premium. Is it hard to ship?
No, you can put into a like a poster roll.
Well, these things are pretty big.
So people ship out. Well, then we could have the Ron Popeil
version that unfolds. It's telescopic
and then you're talking about
I just got a tweet that this whole thing could remember we
talked about the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
that Clinton was pushing Hillary Clinton so that the United
Nations is then the owner and the boss of all C airspace above
it and all water below it. Maybe that maybe that's a part of this
whole pirate thing. Like yeah, this is you know, it's now law
and oh, it makes sense. That can make total sense. The UN now has
to rule ruled all oceans
this might be part of the internationalism Yeah. You know
in other words you get the first you give the UN the war the
world's oceans Yeah. Which is bullshit because you know what
happens to the you know, the gambling casinos offshore and
you know, we tax them that's exactly what happens you kidding
me? But anyway,
once you give them jurisdiction, then let's just the next step to
know the World Court. Oh, well, that's kind of world government
having come out with
John Oh, my God, John, excuse me. I need to take a drink. I
have I have once again pulled you over to the evil Deathstar.
I'm quite proud. So
never know. I thought this I've always been against the
internationalists.
I wish people understood that it really isn't a good idea. My in
laws are here. They just arrived in the sad because I had a
couple of days. I can't handle them for a week. And they're
here for like 10 days. But you know, three or four days, it's
great right
now I see what you're rushing off to say no, no, no,
I'm really bummed because I had really planned and so I did
perfect timing, you know, I got a couple days, and I can get
data out of here. And so and you know, now I'm doing I'm not even
sitting with them this evening, although now they're in bed. But
they're both at three. And we're in Rotterdam during the Second
World War. And, you know, their their houses were bombed and the
friends of theirs were killed and my father in law a garbage
and drove a bike with with wooden wheels, you know, 100 100
kilometers to get a sugar beet. I mean, you know, this kind of
stuff. And so, you know, and they're like, they're so lovely.
Like, well, Obama seems like a really good guy. Like, oh, shit.
Oh, why? Oh my god, did you make her say that? So I laid out a
couple things. And you know, I'm like, hey, what does that sound
like? You know, when when when the government is, is completely
controlling large corporation says, Oh, that's interesting.
That sounds like fascism. Is it and you know, and all and all
kids will compulsory will have, this is a great line. This my 83
year old mother in law, said, you know, all American kids and
UK now as well, because Gordon Brown has already pre announced
it will serve at least three months of service to the country
between the ages of 18 and 25. And she said, do they get a
brown shirt with that and I thought I was going to frickin
lose it. Because she knows she knows she went through it before
said wow, that sounds really familiar. Yeah, sure. And now
she wants to hear more and of course I'm leaving. So as better
listen to the show and she took off. No, I I don't want to let
them just to have their peace.
Alright, so we have one of our fans, by the way, who retweeted
our announcement that we're doing the show in English woman.
You on Twitter? Yes. Is she hot? You should look at it. Look her
up look go to twitter.com Mama Bear Mumm A B E A R she's from
Malden homozygous and she looks like your type.
Really? Hello on twitter.com/spell Again
MUNUMM A B E A R
Mama Bear. Okay. Oh, she does look moment by tide doesn't she?
know she has a website?
The website doesn't have much going on.
jacquelene No more pictures. She's got kids. Oh, well that
makes her She qualifies. She's totally calling me a little late
in the morning there from Mama Bear. I love I love the title of
our website mama bears twaddle.
Yeah
that was amused.
So big news today, Johnny Boy, I was. I was talking to Ron Ron
Blum. Chairman of Ni vo he was out in Seattle. Of course, as I
said, we were talking about some opportunities. And, and then
the, the latest to the head. Suicide came up. And even Ron
said, holy men, of course, I'm referring to the CFO of Freddie
Mac. Even Ron said, No, I find this one hard to believe. 41
year old guy. He was only in the job since September hangs
himself. Come on. I mean, now
we know somebody's misfortune. Oh, this doesn't sound right.
Oh, this is so frickin
wrong. And I've been trying to look up information on the guy.
He's actually a longtime career, Freddie Mac. He was there for 16
years. So he he definitely knows all the ins and outs.
But he knows too much.
But you know, 40? Yes. Well, he did. But 41 years old. I mean,
to all of a sudden, just like, Oh, well. And then. So let's say
that he is keen. He, there's a reason for it. It wasn't just
because he was unhappy in his marriage. You know, so we
net what was the claim? Have you read that? No, no, no, of
course. No, no, we'll
never hear about it again. oppression? No, we'll never hear
it again. No, his wife found him dead by hanging. And that's
about it. And we'll never hear anything again. Ever. But I do
think we should start a new website called to to the
head.com should
cross illegally. This questionable shit,
I'm never going to be faster than our producer will Will
someone please register that for me? So I don't have to fuck
around with it now. And then we'll transfer it. Our producers
are so awesome. I got people weren't writing code now. No,
this is fantastic. I twittered. Like need people writing code?
Yes. by Twitter, and you know, ham, I'm trying to trying to do
this and access some API and I got like three guys, you know,
all like in the
programming source community. That's what this world is
that you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right.
Speaking of which, how's our business model doing?
Well, we got a couple of weeks. People are still throwing us
weird. Numbers, like, you know, stuff like 666 is getting old.
Yeah. But let me give you a couple of the donations that
we've had. Although my session just timed out. So I have to go
back. Hang on.
I'll help you fill it up. You know, there
was we had a couple good. Yeah, we have a new night. Oh, we have
a I'm not
gonna go into the actual details of his of his contribution in
terms of what it means because I know, because I had I made a few
guesses myself, and he's told me, but I don't what do I get to
guess? But yeah, I'm going to tell you, but let me just go to
some of these other numbers. You're getting 1984 2001?
Obviously, it's obvious. This one here baffled me. 2674 26 Or
No. 2674 Wasn't that 1337? Twice? Twice? Yeah, that was so
that we're both leet. Yeah, I got that one. Okay. Then we were
supposed to I'm supposed to alert you. We talked about that
on the last show, John.
Oh, we did? Yeah. Well, maybe we got a second one. Let me find my
911. That's what is the new one? We haven't had that before,
which is kind of funny. Yeah. I don't think we talked about
that. Do we?
Did you hear Did you hear the alert? No.
But we did talk about the 1333.
You know, someone suggested that we put a for our donations,
which you can find at DeVore ak.org/n. A or no agenda
library.com that we put up a number of these different
numerological suggestions. So you could make a 1337 donation
every month
or something? Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. The 1337 one is
is interesting to me, but
to what So what was our night though? Do we have any McCarren
night? Let me find him here. And by the way, we appreciate every
single donation even if it's writing some code, distributing
the show setting up a six watt FM transmitters. Yeah, I think
that's cool. A couple guys are hitting me. It's awesome. It's
absolutely awesome.
Totally awesome. Michael Zelena is our new night. And he donated
$1,081 Wow.
Hold on a second. John. Hold on before you say anything.
And that's another one for the armory.
What a fan tastic I'm blown away by that.
Yeah. And he's, and he actually made a comment that he'll
probably continue to contribute in a big way. Really? Jesus, but
but the thing is, I'm just gonna
just like no one I'm sorry, is it is it a patriotic thing? Is
it
not enhancer? We do a great show and he didn't he thinks it needs
to be supported by the band, we, you know, it's publicly
supported. And he thought it was a good thing to support. So you
know, really appreciate that. Because he's a knight now. Yes,
but,
and he gets an ugly stick when we when we make them.
Yeah, absolutely. So one of the things that, you know, I'm just
gonna throw it out there. I challenge anybody to figure out
what this means. 1001 08100 Figure it out. You know, you'll
get a Kudo if you can do it. Now we have I'll have two new $50
contributors to the Su Su incorporation and John
Edgecombe, so thanks, guys. Oh, and by the Soobin Corporation
gave us another screwy 152 6452 64
Yeah, I'm gonna write that down on a second. 52
And that's another one for the armory.
We had there's another one a Diana Moroni gave us 5440 Now
that one is obvious, I'm 5440.
And I'm Mike cold is hurting my bugging
40 Is is assemble is an old 5440 Kind of like typical New and
tailor to fit before 40 or fight. It wasn't a revolution,
you know, where you cut off the borders. Anything had something
to do with? It was back in the 18 1800s or the late 1700s. I
can't remember actually. And it's also a band from Canada.
Oh, okay. I'm sure we also have a couple of oddball ones here.
There's a 3162 I don't get there's a 451 451 means
something. And there's a knife. And here's a baffling 119 63
when Kennedy was shot.
Oh, damn. Right. So
what's the 1081 man that's bugging me?
It's for one day. I'm gonna let it remain as a challenge. I'll
tell you in the next show. All right. There's it is off the
wall.
Am I gonna go Yeah, of course.
No. You're gonna go. Have we had to have we talked to to
Guantanamo. about some of our guys. But it's wild. Okay, in
fact, it was like it was like a jaw dropper.
Oh, good. Well, I'll work on it. Don't tell me. That's good. Good
luck. Hey, we haven't talked about
climate 451 I just got his Fahrenheit 404 51 Hello.
That was easy. I'm writing these down. Are you keeping a record
of these somewhere? No, I did. They're all on tape. Oh, tape,
no less reel to reel John. To track.
I don't know what to call it. You know, what do you see when
you're making a recording nowadays?
We're in the ether, baby. We're just
answered. I mean, I still say that word tape. You know, I said
go out to take pictures. I
know. I know. He'll play another role. Will you play another
record for you? Another record is another big joke.
I got another topic here. Oh, lovely. Talking about the 1081
next week, you know, but
unless I come up with a during the show,
is you're not coming up with anything. Believe me? You can't
come over the 450
is 1081 That isn't the size of a megabyte. No, that's 1028 right.
are counted by 1028 as a kilobyte.
So it's not funny. It's nobody's given us 1028 That's actually a
good one.
I thought I would have expected 64 You know, all these 512 What
would have 512? vdu?
$512? No. Yeah, here's one that would be good.
Well, I asked you a question. What were the 512? B
512. That's not the marijuana day.
No, that's for 2512 is the isn't the original Mac was that the
512? K Oh, right.
512 K. Yeah. I think what would be a good one, but this would be
hard to figure out but I just want them I would dream up it'd
be $64.01. That'd be 64 bit.
Bada bing, baby. Okay, so two to the head.com has registered.
Thank you very much. To the head who registered that Nathan.
Thanks, Nathan.
So you got a topic?
You got a topic now you said you had a topic? Yeah.
Got a topic and other this is like we need a jingle for our
food and wine news I think I have something
that may be appropriate Hello this is the pot calling I don't
know it's a stretch
yeah it's so I've been you know, rail or that railing but
complementing or discussing I know what I've been doing but
I've been discussing lingual visa which is a the Portuguese
sausage that is pretty it says the standard quality delicious I
think is the world's greatest sausage
now John you do know that we've discussed Ling Lisa Yeah, no.
I know we discuss it that's how it is just came to me because I
got a bunch of email about it. So we know we discussed it.
Okay. Now should you want to honk the horn? I didn't think
about this and because when somebody mentioned you know well
you know, there's a big Portuguese community in Brazil
and I'm thinking how come I never had willingly sit down
there wasn't paying much attention. And so this guy's was
writing about he's in Minnesota or someplace and he wants to
find these these found some place that supposedly serves it
or didn't get it or this sausage company. I've decided I think
it'd be good just to put the word out does anybody have a
note for first of all I had no good linguistic tastes like and
if you need some you can get it from Taylor's sausage in
Southern Oregon the accent but if you have a linguistic factor
or sausage factory in your area I'd like to know about I'd like
to document this sausage around the country where you can get it
anyway that's it that's
that's no that's a good idea in you know i That was the plan
wouldn't wouldn't that be beautiful? You should register
Ling Louisa on Twitter and then someone can just Twitter a zip
code and then you'll return an address where you can bilingual
esa no that would be cool that's how my brain works.
Yeah, well that's just like you and your you like automated
stuff. That's what I like about you. Thank you honey. means
you're not you know recording it you know you're not trying to
work all the time. That's it that's for my is my list I got
let's be drained. walkingstick I eggs is the only other topic I
have.
Let me just send you this. Oops, I sent it to the wrong person.
Oops. He'll be wondering why I sent him that. That was though
somebody that yeah, I sent Gary Kurtz
know someone just sent me shirts to the CATO bt 409 Anti shock
hiking pole with nine led with nine LED flashlight only 1999
It's got a nine LED flashlight and it's foldable
that's a that's a good so ugly stickman Look at that thing it's
Look at that thing. It's got accessories got a compass on it.
Yeah, that can be good once
you look it up it's a Oh Amazon KIKIT Oh btw 4090 It's
biking is 1024
You see people hiking a lot a lot of them don't aren't smart
enough to bring a pole with them if you try hiking in the bushes
and through the you know you should have one of these poles
you know I never go anywhere without my pole
by me one of these polls
All right, so I got plenty of stuff for you my friend
Oh, the that happened I think the the right the day after we
did our last show the the 21 Polo horses that died. Did you
hear about that that happened and I missed this.
What was this? He could have
happened in Venezuela or I think it was Venezuela now of course
my link is expired crap now that's let me just look that up
real quick because that was a good story. 21 quote, you can
just do 21 Polo horses.
Yeah, here it is. 21 Polo horses dead talks and possible cars. No
championship event in Wellington Florida was
in Florida but they weren't they Venezuelan or Argentinian
horses. I'm sure the
ponies suffered hemorrhaging of the lungs.
That's that's freaked out stuff, man. You know, Pony
reaction in Florida horse deaths.
Yeah. Now some shady going on with that.
Huh? But take weeks or two weeks to determine the cause. And
interesting. The Wellington Florida that's interesting.
The Germans, the Germans are fighting against the patent or
as we say in the United Kingdom get mo nation East a patent
application filed in 2005 by Monsanto, who of course So I
want to patent the pig. What? Yes, they want to patent the
pig. But I mean, they want to patent the pig. Well, Monsanto
has filed a patent for of course, a genetic manipulated
pig. And these pigs are Meteor and smell less I presume. And
good Anya, Germany, I think Germany, I think I'm pretty
pure. I don't think Angela Merkel is in the game. I think
she's just, you know, kind of like a peon who gets shuttled
around. She's really trying, he's an idiot. Okay. That's
another way to put it. But the good on the Germans for freaking
out over this stuff, man.
Good for them, especially about pigs. I mean, that's, you know
what? That's like patenting a dog that's been bred. I mean,
okay, this is genetically altered, but what difference
does it make? Well, if you breed two dogs, and you get a new
breed of dogs, you're going to patent the dog. I mean, they
could they never did that with, you know, what the Germans are
mad about, because they never could do that with the Lima.
Reiner. The old thing was that you know that Weimer, Reiner was
a dog that was bred specifically to be a super dog smarter, you
know, can hunt, do all these things to talk? And, well, maybe
not that but they did a lot. And they you know, it was kept as a
proprietary dog, they wouldn't ever let a breeding pair out.
And then one got away or something. The next thing you
know, there were way more owners all over the all over the world,
because it was been a question notice. I don't know what
they're better or worse. But what that's the way you do it.
You don't do it by trying to patent the animal. It's
ridiculous.
Well, they may get away with it, maybe not in Germany, but I'm
certainly going to get it get away with it somewhere. And then
we'll be importing him.
Somehow, you know, I don't want to eat this thing.
No, no, definitely don't want
a you know, there's so many pigs or, you know, the variety of
pigs that are available already. That's enormous. This thing is
probably what is the reason I'm looking at the pigs story here.
What is the point is going to produce more pork while
receiving less animal feed? I guess that's the thing. Okay.
Well, if you look at yes, if you look at it from the New World
Order, global government international court perspective,
of course, they're huge Genesis by nature, and they know that
the population is out of control growing exponentially, and we
have to kill people. So we've, you know, my stance on that. But
the food supply is the biggest problems. So someone's got to
supply the food and might as well be them. And they've
figured out ways to make more basically, it's more pig more
pig for the money. In the meantime, they become fabulously
wealthy. They have a lock on food distribution, which means
you really you thought money control people control the food,
and you'll kill a lot of people at the same time because that
shit ain't good to eat.
Well, this pig Yeah, it was like them and Monsanto
is all over the White House Administration all over it.
Yeah, they're loaded embedded. I mean, it's like that milk. You
know, that bovine, whatever the heck it is. They shoot into cows
again, to produce more milk. I don't know if any, you know,
that is the worst milk there is. I mean, this stuff is I've had
tasted it. It is tasteless, it's like drinking white water and
water that's been you know, somebody's mix some white stuff
in it. It has no flavor has no milk flavor. It's crap. Yeah, I
agree. And you can see, by the way, so easy to spot to with the
funny thing about you, I don't see how they're making any more
money with this milk, because you go in go to a store where
they have this milk. And you can see the prices, it's just like
half the price of regular milk. And it's like, wait a minute,
getting twice as big milk and selling it for half the price
because of the cost of the cart of the packaging, you're
probably losing money with this crap. So getting bad economics.
But anyway, this looks like it's going to be for producing more
pork eating less, genetically superior, since apparently they
found some gene that makes you just shut out. And they're going
to inject it into these animals. So they just like sick. And then
they want to have the patent on being able to identify the
patent is actually being able to identify the genes in in meat in
case somebody gets one of these pigs and breeds it they're gonna
go after him and sue him. Exactly. That's what Monsanto
likes to do. They like to get this stuff into the wild and
then start suing people. And they do it so well. Now they're
getting the heck of it. I mean, it's an amazing operation. There
was a should be ashamed of themselves to be honest about
it. There's no quality issues, they don't care. Just you know,
mass producing. And then if they were if they were do gooders,
like they, you know, well, we were making pigs that produce
more meat, you know, and it'd be better for everybody. If they
were that much. If they were that sort of do gooder. Why
don't they just cut stuff loose. Why are they suing people over
it? You know?
Because that's how fascism works. The government and the
big corporations are in cahoots together, and they steal from
the people. So it's a roadmap, and you can pretty much read it,
John, the, in fact, you know, you've been through it before,
haven't you?
And you know, the thing that's interesting is to me is that you
go to like Spain or Iberian, and have some of that Iberian ham
that they have that where they take these special, but these
black pigs and they, and then they, at the end of their life,
they feed and nothing but acorns. And because there's, you
know, lots of oak in the Iberian Peninsula, cork, oak, a lot of
it anyway, I don't want to go there. But anyway, they feed the
pigs. And this is it's like a pro Shooto only as you know,
this is Saran, yo ham, sometimes it's called here in the States,
but it's Iberian ham, and you can they sell it every I mean,
there's so much of it in Spain and Portugal, it's amazing. This
stuff is absolutely delicious. And I mean, anybody even tries
to copy this with some. I mean, what we're, you know, I think
people should be eating food that makes them feel better
about themselves about life. I mean, you're not going to do
that with this stuff from Monsanto net, tasteless milk and
the rest of it.
Also, on the other end of the spectrum, a very interesting
bill was passed in the House, under the special the suspension
of the rules, you know how that works to do this all the time.
These days, it seems like every single day, if you watch the
span, they suspend the rules, which is basically a way of
ramming something through without debate. You know, it's
like, hey, take this one up the but the Melanie blocker, Stokes,
mom's opportunity to access health education, research and
support for postpartum depression act. And please don't
make me repeat myself. And this is a very interesting bill.
Because this is, if you extrapolate this bill, it
essentially makes every born child property of the government
until you can prove as a mother, that you are sane, and you can
handle the child. And it's all about getting mothers to take
tests and screening while they're pregnant. To determine
if you are prone to postpartum depression, which in the bill is
defined quite broadly, it's not just this, like I have to look
it up, there's like, two different words. So essentially,
that kid is ours until you can prove that you're saying it's a
it's a very, very disturbing bill. Wow. I'm gonna see if I
can let me get the definitions. So it sounds like a really good
thing. You know, like, Oh, we're gonna help moms with postpartum
depression but it's not like that. It's like you're gonna
have to take their medicine you have to do in the term
postpartum condition condition. So that can mean depression or
psychosis and anything else the secretary of human health and
human services deems appropriate to fit in that category.
Okay, somebody said that the no agenda stream died
yeah, some people have been having trips up some people have
been having trouble with it. I'm not okay but not everybody Yeah,
no, this law sounds like another just another What worries all
the people that wants less government in our lives? What
happened to them?
Were it baby
you and me so did you get the note I sent you about the
airplane
oh about yes about the Piaggio.
Yeah, some guys should have sent me an email to tell them to get
it Piaggio once you want to get to Sky King for
you mean King Air.
Calm right. Well,
let me address it. Well, no. The email Yeah, exactly. I remember
that Sky King. I remember seeing that. I think it was replaced by
Adam 12
Sky King, Sky King everybody. It was a it was a serial.
As an episodic Yeah, it
was like every week it was another minute it
was Adam 12 That was also a serial. Adam 12 was yeah one
Adam 12 One Adam 12 We've got a 33 in progress. I can remember
so vividly black and white when Adam 12 When Adam 12 So yeah,
the emails like all you really want to wind them up. Why don't
you tell them that you should get a really nice looking plane
like the Piaggio like if you go Google the Piaggio it's a pusher
so it's got propeller at the back and it's got what we call a
canard or a duck wing at the front. It looks like a flying
Penis. It's French maid is part plastic, Italian, French all the
same. It's part plastic. Never there is no, it's not even the
same league as a King Air. Has a nice interior. You're like my
wife. There's the door open in the back. And is there a
restroom? Now? That's pretty much it. Speaking of nice
planes, Nicola Sacco Z Nepali. On the second,
the third, the fourth, the fourth fourth.
Right has, he's done a little purchase, because of course, he
couldn't be outdone by everybody. You know, I mean, Air
Force One. I mean, please, that's the biggest penis
extender in the world. So he had this little dinky Airbus 390.
And he's made 157 million pound deposit, of course to Airbus for
his a 330 200, which will be at least 10 meters longer and two
meters higher than that used by aircraft used by other European
leaders. Uh huh. It's all about the penis at the end of the day.
So he's got the biggest penis in Europe. And it's another huge
shot in the arm for for Airbus, which is doing quite well. And,
you know, I track this stuff, because I do believe there is a
war between Airbus and Boeing. And when you read that Russia
has signed a deal with Airbus to sell titanium for $4 billion.
This is an interesting industry.
Yeah, there's a big fight going on between those two companies.
And is
no joke. And and, and you know that Holland, this isn't this is
a big discussion in Holland. They participated in the Joint
Strike Fighter program, which everyone was against, it's like
the it's supposed to place replace the F 16. And, you know,
is this this joint strike fighter, all European countries
would participate. And of course, McDonnell Douglas and
Boeing and whoever else are going to make this thing. And
everyone had to put hundreds of millions into the pot. And now
of course, they have to take delivery, and they have to do
stuff and so that the whole country is angry, because
there's no money for the people. Yet, oh, we can't break the deal
on the Joint Strike Fighter, we have to take delivery of two
Joint Strike Fighters, you know, like 200 million or whatever.
It's crazy. This is where all your money is going.
You know, something like two to three terabytes of data from the
Pentagon was just stolen within the last week or so now it's all
from the Joint Strike Fighter files.
Doesn't surprise me. What do you think I'm using the command line
John?
saying somebody Matthew grainer just sent me a tweet saying the
I should try churrascaria I've been to that I've ended like
dozens of these Jurassic Korea's in Brazil. I've never seen
anyone by with with a with a skewer with a linguist on it. Or
maybe if I had it didn't taste like the stuff I get in
Portugal. So I don't know. Sorry, just an interruption here
from Hey, we gotta get my own sound effect thing,
anytime, anytime. We didn't talk about this on the last show.
Although it was oh, current at the moment. Lawmakers started
earlier this week. That would be you know, like people in
Congress and people who you supposedly elected and are
supposedly doing shit for you. They're starting to have
hearings about the energy and global warming bill that would
of course revolutionize the way we produce and use energy and
how we're taxed for it. And the last time we had this type of
bill was acid rain I guess was the scam at the time. And some
actually the smog we got rid of a lot of the smog which is why
people are buying into this crap. So the laws are coming and
they will be taxable and you'll be paying taxes on anything any
use of carbon that what a scam, make the pig with genetically
modified pigness and then charge people for the pig farts. I
mean, these guys got it so locked down.
Whatever happened to acid rain,
acid rain, acid rain wasn't it didn't you know it was a meme
and it went away and
I remember that acid rain me because I remember one of the 60
minutes shows they're saying all the statues of Italy are all
dissolving
was FoxNews around them? I didn't know that.
Like 60 minutes. It was like some report of acid rains
dissolving all the statues of Europe and you're just imagining
these things dissolving. And then they find some old statue
that was all screwed up look and say look what happened.
Yeah, well, we had the great ice age that was coming. We had all
of that. Oh and
coincidental thing that's Kids that's interesting to me that
the that is the climatologist which is a fairly new discipline
once they got hold of this global warming thing they start
getting money they weren't they had just have in their grasp
they're just not going to let this baby go because
this is like hundreds of millions if not billions of
dollars in research, research grants and all kinds of dough of
course. Yeah, no warming. No, you should be on that shit.
Absolutely. No,
I don't understand why we're not we should be promoters of this
crap just to get as much money as we can.
here doing it so wrong. We should be like Jackie Chan do
like Jackie does man, like sign out of the sell out, man just
sell the heck out? Darn.
So we can't live with ourselves. Ladies and gentlemen. That's why
we don't do it.
There's a great story on AP, which of course, we'll get it's
a guy who has a book coming out next week. He's the former Food
and Drug Administration, Chief and command. And I'm
paraphrasing this article now. But here's a here's a direct
quote from him. I guess in the book, the food industry has
worked out what works. They know what drives people to keep on
eating. In the next great public health campaign of changing how
we view food and the food industry, it has to be a part of
it. Basically, what he's saying in this book, is how the food
industry has figured out through neuroscience that the
combination of fat and sugar you know, sparks up dopamine in your
in your old noggin there. That's your your little pleasure spot.
They're the same that gets hit by alcohol and other fine, fine
products available in the wild. And that essentially what this
former FDA chief is saying is you're hooked on crap and we
know it. The book is going to be called Are you still there?
Yeah, I'm listening. Okay.
I can't find the title of the book. Anyway, he calls it
millions. Millions in America are conditioned hyper eaters. A
willpower sapping drives eat high fat, high sugar foods, even
when they're not hungry.
Now they don't give the title of the book that's lame. Who's the
who's the PR agent should be fired. Then you have the title
as an AP store. You can literally write that and hand it
into them. Kancha
No,
don't do that again. That's what everyone's ringtone should be.
It's expressive. You know what I meant. Stephen Hawkins went to
hospital to the hospital.
I think we say to hospital here.
You say that there. I know. I think it makes no sense. It's
daft. They also say university it's Blotto. No blowing means no
blows away. You are a lot of the time that's big.
Right. Blotto is baked baked a lot. That's the one thing that
bothered me. You know, I did this and it's still not on.
What's the what's the TV? I'm blanking out? Yeah, I did the
Swamp Thing and did an episode of Swamp Thing. Hulu, right. And
so that episode is still not it's a series previous to the
series that they have on there. Now, it's still not on Hulu.
It's like one YouTube clip of one brief little scene, but it's
a half hour show. And it was it was great. You know who also was
in it. Rick, Rick Monetti, mulready Monetti, who played
Rick on Magnum, pi. And this is the level of acting talent that
was on this episode in just power house stuff. And I'll
never get over that in the script. And of course, I wanted
to change it. But you know, I had no say in the matter. That
this rock and roll guy Nathan, this rock star who's strung out
on drugs actually uses the word blato. And like, this is so
wrong. As you can see me you can see me uses the word block. Like
how about big wasted I don't know. Couldn't get stoned.
There's a lot of Blotto. That's I was blocked. Oh man. Like no
no, don't ever say that in their right mind. It totally ruins the
whole episode. Hmm. But anyway, you played that character and
you had to say it. Yeah. And I did and I think I made it work.
I made it so you actually use the word blato
in an acting piece of art hmm it's worth it i Hulu ad on Hulu
go make that happen. Put that shit up. So Stephen Hawking, we
have to start
using it now. We shall that way you become irrelevant in time as
it is. In hindsight,
yes, right when it comes out on Hulu. That's right. I'll be like
the half I can be as cool as the half.
Whatever that is the half day we go on with your Stephen
Hawking's thing.
rushed to hospital, a hospital in Cambridge on Monday after
fighting a chest infection. very ill, but they say it's gonna be
okay. It's only 67 years old. And you know, Sky, Rupert
Murdoch sky. These guys have no shame. So this happened on two
days ago. On Monday, last night, Sky puts out the Simpsons
episode of Stephen Hawking. Have you ever seen that one with his
wife? Yeah, it was pretty funny. And they're making out make it
out on the bed and their wheelchairs were their little
robot voices. This guy's have no shame. Hey, I can just see the
programming. Hey, man, let's put the Stephen Hawking episode. i
Yeah, that's awesome. Great idea. And no one no one takes a
look at it. You know? It's crazy.
It has no shame. And it really gets carried away I think and
borderline family ghost. Yeah, Family Guy. I mean, to find that
I looked into the Family Guy. Because I only started watching
the Family Guy about, I don't know, maybe a year ago, because
I never liked it. When it first came. I thought it was it was
stupid. And then I looked it up on one of the you know, its
history. And it turns out, it's been canceled twice, really. And
it was canceled after like the first two seasons. Terrible. By
the way, don't watch anything from 99 or 2000. And then it
would get got back a little bit back. And they ran into some
when they got canceled again. And then there was a big uproar
and everybody they put it back on for one more time. And so
this this is actually the third iteration of the show. And so
then now and I you know, I tried to get my wife to watch it. She
says I hate that show. It sucks. And you know, she likes humorous
stuff. Yeah, but she won't watch it because I think she got you
know, people saw it early on like myself. We're kind of pre
conditioned to think it sucks. But meanwhile my son who watches
it, you know he thinks is terrific. And most people that
started watching it the newer episodes love it. It's great
show.
Yeah, I love it, too. That thing is just outstanding. So here's
one for for the for the for the missus, for me. According to the
BBC, scientists have found the pleasure nerves is actual the
actual money going to this research team, including
scientists from the Unilever company. Haha, that's who funds
research peeps have identified a class of nerve via nerve fibers
in the skin, which specifically send pleasure messages. People
had to be stroked at a certain speed. I've tried this mistake
face man. People had to be that, wait a minute, let me get
through it. People had to be stroked at a certain speed,
which by the way, for the perfect sensation is four to
five centimeters per second. How more explicit could you get
to five centimeters per second to activate that back and forth?
Well, I guess each each way, one way, and some people can do for
four centimeters one way and five centimeters, the other I
mean, it just kind of worked better. And doing that activates
the pleasure sensation. No kidding. Actually published in
the Nature Neuroscience and they say this could help you
understand how touch sustains human relationships. It's very
important.
So I think it would be here's I just came up with a you know, I
don't know, I just came up with a product.
Does it involve a walking stick and stroking.
Right ever thought about the walking stick Park. But it does
involve stroking, I think to have a little speedometer
device. So you can get your speed down. So you can like rub
it like it'd be like a mouse pad.
So you can measure that you're doing four to five centimeters
per
second. So you can get so you can get that motion to the DAC
rights.
And you will have the most pleasure
because apparently I mean, I would assume that this they're
talking about these nerve fibers are all over the body. We're not
talking about just you know, some place that you were would
make you you have all over it's all over you. So if you can get
that down. So then you can give somebody a caress at bid and
you've already practiced your speed so you get the speed right
down in your practice. Every day you go work out for about an
hour practicing back and forth you hit that BBB resume.
Check it out, though, if the stroke was faster or slower than
the optimum speed, the touch was not pleasurable and the nerve
fibers were not activated. Scientists also discovered that
the C tactile nerve fibers as they're known, are only present
on hairy skin and are not found on the hand. This is important
information. In fact, I
feel very skin.
Yes, I think this back to real. This is fantastic. Professor
Francis McGlone. Now basically Unilever I mean, you know that
Unilever is coming out with a product first we had Viagra now
this after an academic career we carried out research into nerve
response says this is likely to be a deliberate design,
deliberate design of the human body. We believe this could be
mother nature's way of ensuring that mixed messages are not sent
to the brain when it is in use as a functional tool.
Will one of our listeners must have the engineering skills to
make this device I'm discussing?
And you know you Oh, it's an iPad app. It's an iPhone app.
Because you can use the accelerometer Oh, to the back of
your hand and then if you do your stroke
Perfect. Now you use the screen the touch screen.
No, dude, listen to me. It's got the accelerometer Wayman. Sorry,
I meant to say, look, let me be clear. Look, is the
accelerometer
and by the way, that is Clue Number One.
What that I'm lying? No, that the word look? Yes. Clue number
law. Yeah,
I'm talking about that the people out there will wonder why
said that you're wondering now, but I'm telling you right now.
That's Clue Number one about the challenge. There we go ahead.
Wait at the secret word.
Okay. All right. So don't don't distract me. Okay. So you can
make an iPhone app. You could also by the way, don't forget
the no agenda iPhone app available in the in the iTunes
Store. And I'll put the link in the show notes. People love this
thing. It's combination of the stream. Yeah, the podcast, you
can twitter you can follow all the tweets, and send your
feedback Twitter at, they'll fix anything changing and making it
better every single day, I guess upgrades are free, I would
presume. So anyway, this would be a great addition to the app,
you strap it to the back of your hand. But hold on a second,
it's clunker already strapping it to the back of your hand. Go
ahead, go ahead.
Go ahead. Or you could hold it in your hand. It's a practicing
device, okay, let's just leave it as a practicing device.
So I don't know if it's your home, you hold it.
You hold it in your hand, and you go back and forth. And then
and then it will show you exactly what your speed is in
your like on a graph, a nice visual display. And then you
basically while you're making the stroking motion, then you
take the iPhone out of your hand, keep the same speed and
then do your stroking.
Maybe if it was that sensitive and accurate, then yes.
The G phone I just downloaded an app that is a metal detector. It
works and it really works. It's a metal detector. How
can it do it?
I don't know. But it only works on the DJI phone, you should
look in the marketplace. You you add this app. And it works. You
move it towards metal. And you see a little bar and it buzzes
it's just like a magic wand at the airport. I don't know how it
works. It's the magic of Google.
My guess Okay,
well, I'll get that out. Got all kinds of magic
doors and opportunity here. It seems to me to make something
because I think if you get a lot of that guy, you know, there is
I can see this. I can see this being you where you get the
exact right speed. You know what it would probably, you know,
turn somebody on.
But I'm trying it now. Um, well, it's not on the hands because
that is meant to be used as a tool. But
yeah, but you could do the bottom of I say that, I would
say you know, just anywhere on the arm or the bottom of
hey, you're trying to arm here. No wonder we can't get on the
air. So well anyway, but you try the arm. I think the thigh would
be good.
The inner thigh? Yeah. If you're gonna do the inner thigh, I
think you're gonna have to nail the speed because otherwise
you're just gonna get slapped? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. You know, there's a lot that I think I was gonna say
there's so many things we don't really know about our bodies.
And we just haven't been taught it or you've forgotten it. We
forgot to teach. I mean, there are so many things that we just
don't know, we've been conditioned to grab a pill or,
you know, or whatever it is. The doc will fix us up. But there's
so many things. And so many. I mean, you know what I mean? And
we don't even
know I mean, there's a lot of stuff that's probably good. I
believe
that nine 90% of all women, I believe that make it 85% Do not
actually understand their own body. And I mean, particularly
their sexual organ. They do not understand how it functions,
what it does. And it's a travesty.
You can send your email to Adam care of this show.
Seriously, there's stuff that women can do that they don't
know they don't know they're capable of. And it's mental man
it's all mental but that women are so complicated men are so
simple. We just want to like That's why gay men get to get
along so well because you're all guy wants to do is just get laid
drink a beer and watch some sports
so what's next on your list? Blackout Europe? Blackout
Europe?
Yeah, the European Union parliament has a vote coming
down on the fifth of May. And looks like they want to know
this is the big three strike you're out. We control
everything. ISPs have to report to us. Well, yeah, right. Right.
Right. So this is it right yeah. So people
that that that was kicked out I thought they said no to that
whole idea.
They think the guy who said that got to to the head and taken out
back, huh. So now black go to blackout. europe.eu I think it's
important that we at least make people aware of course you know,
when it's the fifth of May, you know, where's the where's the
real campaign in the UK. Now of course, as of weeks ago, they're
already tried to speeds on the on the bandwidth and become so
crap because, you know, they're throttling filtering looking
sniffing snooping slurping sucking all of my data. Just
lame blog blocking pirate bay now in the UK BTW, I
guess they don't like art.
Now to the well, of course, they use the child pornography law.
Oh, well, you know, that could be pornography there. So oh,
it's bad for the children. So let's block access.
Yeah. So somebody just send us a tweet saying the android phone
may be able to detect mail because of the built in compass.
Which uses employs a magnet because that makes
sense. I didn't know what I thought I use GPS. Now there's
GPS
too. I don't know what there's a compass in there. I guess.
There's a lot of stuff in that phone. That's why it's so
clunky.
It's a great phone. If only the battery lasts of more than 20
minutes. Yeah,
well that phone is so clunky that it just couldn't put a
bigger battery in there because a phone would be a disaster. I
mean if you look at the battery in there, the things a little
bitty batteries like what but it's streamed the Nokia battery
the Nokia battery on the east 71 is huge. That lasts
for days. But the the the G foam I love it because it's ghetto.
You know, it's like you can drop it nothing. You don't care.
Nothing happens to your iPhone, you're like ooh, you know be
careful and what's not neat nuts is shining on us to keep shining
up G phone is like, you know, but it has everything man and
that integration with jeep. It is like a G G phones. If only it
lasted longer, although Be careful, because it does nasty
even though you set it to don't access my network when I'm
roaming. Kia $600 Later, just from the same thing sitting on
my desk, it racked up $600 In in charges. Who kidding now,
because I have it on all the time. And I use it and I presume
that it's always talking to the Wi Fi and I have and I have the
I even turned off the transmitter, the phone part and
we still got bills. I took the SIM card out and then the bill
stopped. So I don't know what it's doing. But it was not not
behaving as advertised. But of course, Google no stranger to
funny business now accused of avoiding United Kingdom tax by
routing most of its earnings through Ireland, saving over 100
million pounds a year.
Oh, really? Yeah, of course. Good for them. Yeah, that's
smart.
That's right. Eric Schmidt on our economic board of advisors
in the United States guy knows how to screw everybody. He's
good at it. Right?
He's a good guy.
Good guy. Have you ever? I'm sure you've met him?
Oh, yeah. No, I mean, I got I mean, of course ever since he
became the hotshot over I
know you know, now he will talk to you here.
This is typical. I mean, everybody I know that becomes
rich and famous. A Deb snubbed,
except for me, I've never snubbed you.
Yeah, no, you're the only one you are the my only friends
celebrity friend who actually talks to me.
And even I can get you laid. You know, I just don't know what to
do. That's not true. Jon. This party don't screw up the party.
Okay. When you go to Amsterdam, please go to the party. Don't
get there. We got a bunch of people coming. We do have to go.
Because this is the it is the I gotta take photos, you know? Oh,
yeah.
All right. You're gonna love it. I mean, I've set you up. You
know, I've sent you a big time. Don't embed Trust me with this
girl.
Yeah. Okay. Like I'll ever see her.
She's gonna personally take care of you. Yeah, yes, we'll see.
Trust me, dude and you got taxi Eric's number.
Taxi Eric is in my in my phone. Okay, I'm gonna alert
him that that you're going to. I'm going to alert him. I want
him on standby for
you at that you already said you're alerted him already.
I haven't talked to him yet. You haven't left yet? Don't
worry. Okay, well, I'm gonna send him an email.
The place to go these days for a vacation is of course Iceland.
Now the kronor has dropped by 44% Five of all I
have a recommendation for Iceland go for it. So if you go
to Iceland, one of the things that you'll find is you know,
they have sheep in Iceland that are weird
and yeah, they pay they pay taxes. They're called citizens.
The anyway, these these Icelandic sheep, they come in
three colors and they actually use the wool raw from the three
colors so you don't have to dye the wool there's a white version
and a black version and a brown version of the sheep. And
they're called Icelandic sheep or something and they look like
they're prehistoric. They they're just shaggy weird
looking
weird weird horns are the Rams or not
I don't remember the
Highlander none I'm confused.
The sheep have like they look like they're Rasta sheep. They
look they look terrible actually. But they have a they
make a wool that is very water resistant is a very it's a
beautiful wall. It's very soft. It's this fence it's not as
great as the stuff from Peru but it's damn near close and it's
anyway they have this Icelandic when they make so they make a
lot of blankets and sweaters and things like that add from this
sheep because you know it's cold. They're the best
rule shop and Bjork is always around so you got to be
protected Bjorn. Know, how come no one's connected Bjork to to
the Icelandic demise.
They should have so anyway let me finish this. So the best wool
shop I think in all of Iceland is actually at the airport. Wow.
Okay, good prices good sweater, Italian designs amazing
place another John C. Dvorak household knitting tip, tip, tip
or tip from Devorah
UK in fact I was you know if you used to if you could just take
an Icelandic air plane ride to Europe you just so you just stop
and Reykjavik for them stop over then get back on and go
don't even have to go into town. Just grab your wool products and
drink in that country. You know what they need they need so they
have the wool store. They need a some of that sausage. You're
looking for that link Louisa Lane Griesa Ling Lisa, why don't
we open it up? Shane have no agenda lingua booths at airports
nationwide. Get your ugly stick and your TSA approved by the
way.
So I was up in I think what was the airport I think it was in
Madison was at Madison have to think about this. But there's a
bunch of these little puddle jumper airports up in Wisconsin,
there was a series of sausage places. I think the sausage
brand is first singers, of course. And the Bendigo sausage
places are called the worst house. And they have these saws
these with these, these these, I'd say bratwurst. And they keep
them first they grill them or something or their first they
keep can't even boiling water with onions and green peppers.
And then they put them on the grill. And I have to say it's
probably one of the greatest hot dog experience as you can have.
And you want to load it up with the with the onions and the
green peppers. Oh, I'm hungry. Bursting sausages are fantastic.
Are you making me hungry?
Now tell you, this is as good as the stuff you get in Germany.
One thing that we didn't discuss, which I think is
relevant, because, you know, we don't take advertising on the
show. I don't want to go into a whole plug. But our model which
is experimental is based upon donations. A lot of people seem
to get it and we're highly we haven't even done anything with
the money yet. So we're basically just do we have that
in the Reykjavik Savings Bank, John is that we're we're we're
keeping keeping, gotta go pick it up. And right, York is
holding it for us. So but part of the reason is because news is
gone. Essentially, it's either contaminated, saturated,
bullshit gone or just plain bad. And the news came out the New
York Times first quarter earnings. So that's basically
based upon their subscription price and their advertising. The
news media group, which includes the times Boston Globe and other
regional newspapers, revenue declined 28.4% versus 18 point
4% In the previous quarter, can can John can Should we just get
the gun and just shoot it?
You need to you know we need for a sound effect the flushing
toilet, huh? I think we can use that sound effect can we so
often? Okay, I'll get one. Well the product you know the problem
that these newspapers have is that they they essentially have
not been delivering the kind of skepticism needed to make the
public happy. I think the public is always wondering about the
story behind the story or, or is looking for insight or they're
looking for some perspective. That isn't for
Real News, baby. We need Amy Winehouse info in deeds. We need
the details. Get Perez Hilton working for The New York Times
and you watch those revenues go up.
Well, that reminds me, you know, the Perez Hilton did the Miss
USA thing get the CDS is no I'm sure. Okay. So here's the here's
the deal, Mr. I think was missing or North Carolina, that
one but it was MIT and we actually blogged this. But it
was Miss California that there. She's out there. She's gorgeous
blonde. And she probably could have won the whole thing. But
they have these different judges ask these these extremely
political questions of these of these women who are kind of
dingbats? I mean, what are they asking them? You know about
global warming? It's everything. Every question was some really
heavy duty political left wing question. And so they asked, so
so they go then say, here's the judge you picked and it was
Perez Hilton, I'm thinking why is there a blogger? who's gay? A
gay blogger? Yeah. Why he's gay. For one thing, why is he doing a
beauty contest? He's a gay blogger, and he's there. And he
asked a question, what do you think about gay marriage? Why is
he asking this? And so the woman who was just California, you
know, she just some, I don't know what her background was,
but she says she was raised to believe. But she gave a very
honest answer. So she was penalized for this, by the way.
Yes.
Was she from the Midwest and she had she the very Midwest,
California but from God, no Midwest, that's the midwest of
Gitmo nation. What are you talking about? Well, okay, well,
she comes out and she says, I was raised that marriage is
between a man and a woman. That's just the way I see it.
And that's the way I believe it is. And that's just the way I
was raised. She
add to that, that she add to that, but luckily, we live in a
free country where people can do things in the privacy of their
own home that she had some patriotic spin to it because
that was that's what she needed.
Now she didn't she was she blew taken. These girls did that.
Because they just you know, this whole thing is rigged anyway.
What are you telling me?
So this was rigged? Oh, no. It's like the first person reaches in
the box and she gets judged. Number one, the second person
reaches the buck. She just gets judged. Number two, the third
person reached in the book, she gets to judge number three,
Perez Hilton. So anyway, so so he you know, there's so you get
so Perez Hilton has a just his face just kind of screws up,
like this woman should be killed and eaten. And so she walks off
and she comes in second, you know, the whole thing. And
everyone believes that it's because everyone they were she
did their audience was Whoa, I don't know, boo. And you know,
is it really it was it was a sham. It was ridiculous, this
poor girl. But meanwhile, she's gotten more publicity than she
would have gotten if she was the winner, although she won't get
any of the prize money. But you know,
so, about a year and a half ago, Perez Hilton was holed up in
London. This was just around the time when the lawsuits were
happening about his use of images or the threat of
lawsuits, which of course, propelled him into humongous
numbers. And we had a I would say, a significant budget to go
and get him to do a show for us. And which I thought was yeah, he
was really really up and coming in with he was going to pop big
time. And I did full press cord. I did. I took the lady Patricia
with me and she did her whole fagg hag thing. And we really
played, played to him and sent him flowers. I mean, I did a
full blown full on Hollywood producer job on this guy because
the other people courting him were VH one. Our money was
equal, maybe even better. But let me just say one thing about
Perez Hilton. He's a dick to total dick. And that's not
because he wouldn't sign was the guy can't communicate normally.
He's just a complete dick.
think Lisa Betania when I was doing the twit show last week
was making the same was had some run in with him too.
He's the kind of guy that will stab you in the back in a
frickin heartbeat. He's a total douche. I'll say that about
anybody. Really. I mean, it was just I just he not even a
courteous guy. You know, just not even courteous. And, and if
I if I roll out the lady Patricia and you're not
courteous Yeah, that's it. It's over.
Now I didn't I wouldn't worry about it not while I'm not on it
just because I got on this vent is the big question. Yeah. Well,
it was it involved, good looking girls.
Whatever. So anyway, so she got screwed out of it, whatever.
Maybe she wouldn't have won anyway, who knows. But it seems
unlikely that she could have won them through. I'm sure he gave
her zero. Other than that we have are talking about gay
marriage. We have our crazy Mayor of San Francisco who was
the big gay marriage guy in the state. He's going to be running
for governor. Now this should be good for a laugh because he's
running against moonbeam, Jerry Brown. Who's leading
he's he's still alive. That guy's been around for Jerry
Brown, Jerry Brown and been around for a while. And
yeah, he's been governor before, back in the 40s. But he he's got
the right pitch. I mean, the brown is I've met him a couple
of times. And of course, you'd never recognize me in a million
years, because he's always me. He's literally when you just
stand atop him. He is not on the same planet. I don't know if
you've ever run into people like this. But they're just they get
there obviously.
Yeah, John, I've actually run into people who literally were
not from this planet. But that's a story for another show.
Yeah, that's this story. Question. Anyway, so he's like,
he just obviously he's thinking about something or he's scared
he's preoccupied or his brain is divided. I don't know. It's just
the weirdest.
You just describe my dad to the tee. Well, I think these people
are highly intelligent and are so wrapped up in their own
thoughts that they're just, they're spaced.
Yeah, well, Brown is that way. But he's Browns got better sound
bites, he's got a better pitch. He's a real he's been in
politics forever. His father was the governor of California for a
while. So I was raised with it. He's he's just I don't think
he's beatable. He's a I mean, he's just amazing, effective. I
think he could have been president if his timing was a
little different. But I don't think that's going to happen.
And he also has, you know, he's got a bad reputation and a lot
of kick problems that California has to this day or his fault.
But again, he's gonna go in there again and make it worse.
All across, coming back across the bridge in San Francisco, San
Francisco, Oakland Bay Bridge, one of the most beautiful
bridges in the world. I'm counting the potholes. I'm
hitting as I'm coming across. Bang bang. Oh,
no, but John, that's one of those shovel ready projects.
Don't you worry. That thing's gonna get fixed in a heartbeat.
shovel ready, baby? It's shovel shovel
we have in this state. It's like Pong. They should change the
name of the state to a pothole.
And you know what, tomorrow afternoon, one more pothole will
be added to the state as I arrive at SFO. One more pothole.
Hello, I'm sorry. All right. I was practicing my stroke. So
what you didn't hear discussed today, but are in the show notes
IMF puts bank losses at 4 trillion more bailouts for the
auto companies. AIG systematically denies claims of
injured us contractors. They're out there they're screwing with
you my friends. And we're just here to let you know about it.
And once in a while we'll figure something out. But I know one
thing Perez Hilton as soon as we get those ugly sticks he's the
first receiver
Yeah, not worth the trouble I think he shouldn't be we won't
be discussing him anymore.
Okay, no agenda ugly steaks coming soon.
Yeah, we gotta get some other stuff going here with in terms
of like things sell flatware. Alright, flatware right well, we
got to three nights so far. So we'll, we gotta we gotta get
customized some stuff for them. We'll get them still getting
the knives of the Knights
for the flat wages of the Knights.
I'm just saying it's an idea.
It's possible. I mean, we get the little you know, okay, so
briefly, John, because I've restarted our final tune three
times now. When will the next no agenda be?
Well, since you keep changing your schedule, I don't know I
mean, I'll be in traveling on Saturday. Yeah, you arrive out
Sunday. arrive Sunday and then I'm going to have to see if I
can either connect or whatever well why don't you good
connection on Skype at the hotel was that works fine. I'm gonna
have some gear with me I gotta I gotta I got you know a nice
dynamic mic and nice
classic actually and some headphones.
I had Yes, I definitely have to have headphones I'll have them
and so then I see you I connect otherwise out to find somebody
over there that I can you know, visit their office and use their
facilities or something like that will get the job done
either Sunday or Monday. Okay.
Coming to you from the southwest quadrant in London of Gitmo
nation East in the crackpot command center. I'm Adam curry.
And I'm here in the buzz kill bunker in northern Silicon
Valley. The Fletcher doesn't exist and has fantastic weather
in the last two or three days. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you again very soon. Right here and no agenda.
