Okay, we're good to go. I have not written an intro, which is
probably best
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Somehow that didn't sound right.
Does it sound weird to you? Nope. It sounded like hold on.
Something's wrong. Hold on. Quit that.
It was kind of good. No, it didn't. Well, for me it did the
well.
It was subtle, but I could hear it was a digital. It was like
downsampled Okay, let's try that again.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Man. I can't fuck. That's still not
right. Hold on. Oh, I know what it is. There we go. That's what
was missing now should work. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
raining in San Francisco. Better known as get mo nation
Northwest. It is Sunday time for another show. This is no agenda
coming to you from my undisclosed secret location. In
Gitmo nation Northwest the backup crack crackpot command
center. I'm Adam curry.
And from the same rainy, gloomy, somewhat depressing, gray,
Northern California. I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill. Oh, you know,
it's interesting. It's actually in the morning.
For both of us for once, well, that's
actually odd. You know what, it's always in the morning
someplace.
That's right. And it's always happy hour someplace. Hey, John,
it's, it's good to have you back in my timezone. My friend?
Yeah, well, you know, I had a long trip we went to, I'm going
to put a restaurant review thing. And we went to, I went to
probably half the country and went to all these, you know,
lunch and dinner and most of the high end restaurants in Holland.
Oh, geez, man. Excellent. And I discovered that there's
obviously one or two consultants that are dominating the scene,
because you go to 12345 places, and you run into the same kind
of formula from place after me. We're talking about, you know,
good places the food's good. But the formula gets really
depressing. I mean, they have it's all black and white is
basically the is the theme. The white tablecloths with white
platters and white dishes, everything's white and flip them
over. They're all Hillary and Bosh.
Just the same people who make the toilets. And one.
One place had did have Wedgwood, but it was still white. And it
and then they have the same routine of this and that and I'm
going to write it up actually, as a review of all these
restaurants because I found it you know, distressing. I think
people go they're expensive. There's a bunch of Bentley's
parked out in front Ferraris and these kinds of things in all
these places. And you go there, and it's just like, Gee, I mean,
this is like a cookie cutter. And they're, I mean, then they
affect it to the point where we're talking to go into like 14
places of this caliber. And they all use the exact same sweeper
for sweeping the ROMs off the tablecloth. Yeah, exactly the
same brand. And everybody had the same one. And it was a
little thing is swept in and you held it up vertically and then
tapped it a few times in the ashes went into the handle.
Oh, no, but this this is a very Dutch thing. The it used to be
for ashtrays, and then it was it was kind of like an ashtray with
a lid on a handle. Is that what you're talking about?
No, no, this is just it's like one of those little scrape crumb
scrapers and scraper Yeah, only it's got a hollow handle. And
there's, there were two sizes. And we had to write it down. We
got to restaurant 14 or 15. We're taking bets on what size
they're gonna bring out.
So wait a minute, you weren't even there for I mean, you
didn't have dinner at all these places. You weren't there for 14
dinners.
No, I'm talking about dinner and lunch. So we hit him for lunch
and then dinner. So I was there for like 14 meals.
So you got the names. There you go. You just give me a couple
names just so I
know where they're on. You're on a.on This machine that you
dislike, you know they you remember any of them and one
name. Deb names are also Dutch. I can't remember any of them. I
have to look at the name. There wasn't one name like the
chateau.
No, it's not another very Dutch word. Like these Dutch
names, and you look at him now. In fact, I'm gonna have to get
back because the guy I went with he put up a Google map showing
where this plays out. I didn't realize how far flung they were.
But I looked at all of them today and I'm gonna have to find
out what the order was because I can remember the restaurants by
the order, but I can't remember the names when I look at these
names. It's like Oh, God. Well, here's another thing they all
did. They every one of us is a member of some club and at Use
restaurant gourmet clubs and they and it's like the young
chefs of Holland is one of the clubs and only it's in Dutch, of
course. And these guys are these different restaurants are in two
or three of these different clubs. And it actually is one of
the places that I went to, when I opened up the book, I could,
that's when I first saw the formula of black and white. And
because all the restaurants, they had pictures of all the
interiors, I'm good, this looks like the same place. And so, but
anyway, the thing is, the classic is you go in the
restaurant, and then he laid out the table, and there's the book
on the table. And it's their club. And so you look through
and see all these other restaurants that are all like
minded,
just just like just like the one you're in. Yeah.
And it's you know, I find it distressing because I mean,
divert the lack of variety. And even the food was served the
same, you know, the same kind of is very, very, I hate to tell it
be too critical. But this is very much like kind of dead
nouvelle cuisine style. The food pushed up vertically, you know,
so it's, it's high mountain. Why would you take him on that went
out 10 years ago, and considered chic in Holland. Yeah. And then
dots of crap all over the place.
Like, oh, did someone have a bloody nose over my plate? Or is
that
and then a couple of lines of stung.
Squirrel, these squirrely lines. Yeah. A sauce dish, dude. And
that made me feel much better.
And then when you get to the cheese course, then none of
these guys really wanted to specialize in Dutch cheeses. And
I know there's better cheeses than the one or two they had.
There's all French and I'm thinking I'm coming to Holland
and cheese. So
of course, I still feel bad that it all messed up. And then I was
out here and you're out there but I think you probably got a
you saw much more of the country than you ever would have seen
with me to start with.
Yeah, well, I was being hosted so I got to see a lot. And and I
went all over when you see the map you go guys just like you
you're just on the road all as Chris Holland is not very big, I
think can go corner to corner in like an hour in some No. Two
hours. Okay. So one of the things I did see, though, that I
was kind of impressed with is I went out to the windmill farms
and where they have the power, not that not the old I actually
went to the old fashioned windmill, dear.
Do you remember which because there are a couple of wind
farms, windmill farms. Remember,
the one that's pretty north to the west lately lately starts
perhaps maybe could be that's on the map. There's a lot of them.
I'll send you a copy of the map, you can figure out where I went
and tell me what's what. So yeah, there's a lot of these
windmill things you can see when you're flying over. And actually
I got some pictures from the hotel room of heart of
Amsterdam, shooting out over the water. And then you can see in
the background, a slew of these things. And these are all third
generation fourth generation windmills. And they're
fantastic.
Yeah, but they are. In general, I find these farms to be pretty
ugly.
This was not an attractive area where the where these things are
located anyways, wind blown. Yeah. The thing is, apparently
the bird lovers. You know, we went and looked at a couple of
the big ones and the bird lovers are moaning about killing all
these birds. And somebody points out that cats in Holland kill
three times as many birds as the windmill. So we should ban cats.
Each of these windmills, this was actually started as a big
scam. And of course, I'm not against the idea of of wind
power. I just don't think that I'm not convinced that it
delivers enough actual energy for us that it's that it makes a
lot of sense. Because these windmills are pretty expensive.
You know, some of the million dollars. Yeah, exactly. Some of
these really big ones. And every single one of them is its own
financial entity. It's
merely a farmer who has the land to put a windmill, but he can
afford to put the million for a windmill. He's retired.
Yeah. And but there's also it's an investment vehicle, because
you get all these tax breaks. And then we're ministers of
Parliament who are in all these because these are companies that
basically each windmill is its own corporation. Yeah. And it
was a big scandal, big scam. It's, and it's really not that
hard to understand what you see what's going on. I just don't
know if they deliver the energy or not.
I had the father of modern wind power on my show years ago when
he did Rio computing on public radio. And he convinced me that
we now just not only a good idea, especially the new third
generation windmills, which we don't have any of in the United
States except, you know, one, maybe one or two. He said that
the state of North Dakota could power the entire US grid by
itself with wind.
That's kind of what Slim is. What's his name? Boone, slim
pickins, Boone, Pickens,
Pickens Olympic Olympic power everybody. Well, actually, it's
kind of the same guy.
Yeah, that's what he's saying. He's saying the exact same thing
that that could power and did you read that we discovered this
huge, massive natural gas field in the United States? It was
this was in the news, like a couple days ago.
Were
we look it up, it was enough enough to give us energy
through, you know, 2050 or something like that.
There's also a huge oil field under North Dakota where the
wind is apparently the size of the Saudi Arabia, oil fields.
That's unbelievable. And of course this this wasn't actual
news that got really got reported. Let me know nobody
wants to talk about oil. Wouldn't if this was natural gas
here, nor there. I don't
want to talk about anything that burns because you know, the CEOs
to carbon footprint here. Check
it out. This is from Wall Street Journal, a massive natural gas
discovery in northern Louisiana heralds a big shift in the
nation's energy landscape. After an era of decline. What's an
error? How long is an era
a period of time?
Well, good reporting Wall Street Journal too lazy to fucking look
it up. After a period of time of declining production, the US is
now swimming swimming's as The Wall Street Journal in natural
gas, swimming women 200 trillion cubic feet of natural gas the
equivalent of 33 billion barrels of oil or 18 years worth of
current US oil production. And I think we should use some of
that. We don't we don't know. We want to reduce our dependence
upon foreign energy. Isn't this a perfect way to do it?
No, we don't want to do that. We want to we want to just stop all
energy use and use hamster's energy generators. Live in a
cave for getting there. Live in a cave. Oh, IV. Ah. So you're in
a better mood than you were last time. Well, I've done some
readings on Thursday. Yeah, when I've done some
soul searching John. I, you know this. There's nothing Oh, no
phone brother. There's nothing like being in rainy San
Francisco to tug at the heartstrings and being in your
hotel room. You know, you can't turn on the television because
it's oh, by the way, I figured it out. It was so so frickin
obvious. I can't believe we overlooked this. Do you know
what last week was in the world of television?
Now what sweeps Oh, sweeps week yeah,
so no wonder swine flu hit the hit the top of the charts, of
course.
Sweeps week slips. Swine Flu. Why? Why pointed out the fact
that you know if this was like a dry run to see how the public is
going to react to a genuine pandemic, as opposed to this
bull. She says it may be you creating a crying wolf
situation. So when people actually really do have to, then
we'll guarantee
exactly they won't be like, last time it was bull. In Hong Kong,
I saw that. They quarantine hotel guests for a week. Kit.
I'm like, can you imagine that I'd be stuck at this shithole
for a week. It would you know at the swine flu would kill people
certainly one namely me to to the head. hang myself.
Quarantine? Yeah. So I was at the airport. I was coming out. I
left the Amsterdam yesterday and flew through Munich. And I'm
going through passport control. There's a whole bunch of
Japanese they're wearing masks. Yeah, yeah. In Holland. Like,
you know, it's a hotbed of swine flu.
It's all over the I flew to New York earlier this week and was
the same thing. There were plenty people at the airport
wearing surgical masks was pretty funny.
Um, you know, maybe they're surgeons. So a couple of things
you want to straighten up from last week one is that we now
everybody wrote us about there's two 747 Air Force ones only one
designated as such obviously when presidents on board I
didn't know this. I didn't know they built a duplicate and then
apparently that there's two reasons for the duplicate one
That one was say half the people say well, it's a decoy. Like
what difference does it make? And the other people say what's
a backup in case one craps out and that's the land and go
bombing and get right into the next one. Does that make sense?
That makes sense. Well, it's like you know, Bill Gates has to
limos when he goes around because he also
has two Windows machines I'm told in case one craps
the board too. So anyway, so that makes a little sense. But
you know flying those two monsters they've been they stock
them both up to the max and flying all over the place is
gonna be expensive and he should stay home.
But when we really think about it at the end of the day, this
whole affair of the of the photo op over New York it it just
smells like shit. I gave it
some thought. And I got a letter from somebody that told me that
one of my one of our producers, I think he's a producer sent a
letter and saying that his Powell, who was in a building
that was evacuated when the things started flying over. We
live next door to us. Some other rooftop and he says the military
was set up there with military photographers with these huge
cameras. And these monster lenses was big
on it, sports, sports field
sports lenses, and they were shooting like crazy. So that I
believe that may have been a photo shoot now. So I gave it
some thought, assuming that that was the case. And I'm thinking
two things. One, what was the point of telling the New York
Police Department not to say anything to the public at all?
Yeah,
what is the thinking behind that? Here's
what I'm thinking. One thing by the way, I think this is bad.
But I think the only possible reason was is because of because
their thing was going to be so low flying close to the Statue
of Liberty, that a bunch of gun happy crackpots, just take
potshots at it, if they knew it was there, which is a
possibility, you know, again, you do drive it back, do you fly
back home? There's a bunch of bullet holes in the thing. You
know, that would be kind of annoying. And if and he also got
brought down, let's say by something right, it would be
very embarrassing for the country. So you don't want to
alert anyone? On the other hand, that's probably not going to
happen, because people have some respect. I mean, the public's
not completely a bunch of maniacs. Oh, and
it's like, it's not like you couldn't shoot that thing out of
the sky anytime you wanted with a
budget was Yeah. But the point is, is that they should have
told the public if for no other reason, to give the public the
opportunity for the
officers. Thank you very much. And can I just say there is 1/3
option they could have taken. It's called Photoshop people. I
mean, get a frightened. I wrote that
down to like, why don't you just Photoshop cost like $350,000 for
this Joyride, that could have been Photoshop for 50 bucks. You
know,
I have you really said, Oh, I'm sorry. John, would you mind
turning your speakers down? Just a little bit? Have a drink,
everybody? All right, you're onto something very important
there. Because if, if this truly was a fly by photo op, which, by
the way typically happens at air shows because that's, that's
really the place you want to do that. And that's where the
military always shows its shit in the air and the airlines and
other manufacturers. I mean, that's the place to do it. But
okay. Forget about just giving an opportunity to the American
public to take pictures, you really, I mean, think about
tapping into something that if it was really true, and if if I
were, you know, pushing the buttons, and indeed, there was
some, you know, oh, Air Force One needs some new headshots
right in the middle of all the other shit we got going on.
Okay. I would say, you know, what, why don't we make this a
big deal and show our pride, you know, I mean, that's a, that is
a beautiful airplane. And that thing symbolizes something much
more than just, you know, a Boeing it is, it is a symbol of
the leader of the free world. And it's a beautiful neutral,
blue, blue white color scheme. We've got our lovely aircraft
flying around it. I mean, we could have made that into a big,
you know, 21 gun salute event, it would have been fantastic.
Yeah. So
I know, I don't know, they just blew it. I think they completely
blew it. And then this thing about Obama getting all bent out
of shape. I doubt that,
well, this seems to be kind of Obama's Mo. And this is
something that I'm noticing as a trend. And the way it works is
his minions. And that would be everything from from, let's just
say all the way up to the Vice President, they come out and
they something, say something completely outrageous. or
something, you know, they they kind of set him up so that he
can then come in and say, Oh, well, you know, you know what to
do, or, or in the case of Air Force One, he can be really
pissed off. You know, so you got Joe Biden comes out and says,
Well, you know, I would tell my, my family staying in door, I'm
protecting them. And we've already got the nuclear shelter
all on standby for the swine flu. And you're gonna say, Oh,
well, you know, of course, Joe. Joe means well, you know, but
it's, it seems to be a constant thing. He gets the setup. The
Press comes out and runs with the ball. And then he comes in
and says, you know, either dims down a bit or hypes it up
depending on what's necessary.
Yeah, I agree with that. So this is definitely going on. So I
want to other topics. So I went to Queens day we didn't know
that. Yeah. You have any more I mentioned I saw the boat sink.
Yeah. Okay. Because I did the show on Friday. It's Thursday
after queens. Okay, so the boat sink
after before I did the show. Let me let me try a topic for you
since you're struggling
No, I'm not struggling I'm I've got my list here. But your
list is from last show. We already know this.
The data the last year I said wait a minute. I do that show
before after Queensbay by the way got a huge blister from that
damned event. On your what? The bottom of my foot from walking?
Yeah, walking too much. I guess.
You don't have good shoes.
I had good shoes. I have walking shoes, but I guess that's It
must have been some irritation and maybe
it was the high heels you were wearing at the party. Maybe the
pumps your palms there. Your Pradas.
So I have I have on this list I'm sorry,
I just got a visual of you in progress. Okay.
I don't even know what products are so the visual doesn't work
for me.
Half the audience is on the floor. Trust me.
Half the audience doesn't know what promises either have the
other some sort of expensive shoe. Well, The Devil Wears more
than one style.
The Devil Wears him baby.
Okay, you'll recall, when we were in the first round of
certification is not the word affirmation of Cabinet members.
It What do you call that? Congress has to approve them.
This? Yeah. What does that is an affirmation now?
I don't know. Go ahead with the story though. Okay, I'll need
the term. Okay. So
by the way, the the noun really spacing are brand new.
Yeah, like the way you jumped in? Yeah, sorry about that.
Well,
okay. Let me back up. So we were trying to get that guy in to be
Jesus, John, I'm completely spacing. This was helped me
along here. Do you remember the consensus that the consensus
which is going to be held and I guess 2010? Or is just starting
now that that was moved into the White House? And that's the
reason why they couldn't confirm the confirmation. That's a
confirmation here. And then we didn't just
find you get hung up on something like a terminology and
then it
shows everything. Yeah, no, it blows everything.
I wonder how that works with you.
Lack of brain cells? So who was the guy that we tried to get in
as it was a Republican? Remember?
Yeah, I can't remember who it was. But yeah, he didn't he
couldn't do it, because he didn't like he didn't like the
model.
He didn't like the model of the census. So the wait is what the
census is, is extremely important. And even in the
Constitution, I believe the census, you know, that says a
census will be taken, but it's not supposed to be supervised by
the White House. And I presume that's supposed to be something
that Congress sets up. And, you know, that's all on the up and
up. Because when you do when you take the census, which is
essentially finding out who lives in the United States of
America, and you know, what are the questions John, age,
religion, race, creed, I mean, whatever the the
people live in the house and stuff like that. Yeah. I had
somebody come by the house the other day, I told you this.
Well, interesting.
Then the door. Yeah, some little woman, she says, just a single
family dwelling because big house? I said, Yeah. Okay. And
they left.
Now, did she have a box in her hand? No, you short the board.
Because apparently, acorn, our good old friend from acorn, have
been conducting parts of the census. And they are doing it
with handheld GPS devices. So they're actually marking every
dwelling with GPS coordinates. And of course, you know, is
there also political data they take? Do they say, Are you
Republican or Democrat? No, I've never heard that and do that.
But I find that interesting. So they're kind of doing their own,
like Google Maps thing, except they're they're literally
mapping out
downloads. They don't really have to do that, because they
can get that from the registration data, which
is why are they doing it?
I don't know anyone's ever asked Republican or Democrat. No, I'm
sorry. Why? Why are they going around with handheld GPS
devices? Well, probably
to mark your place in case the black helicopters have to take
your place out.
Hey, John, if you're going to start stealing my lines, then
you know, we might as well just stop right now.
You gotta be faster than this.
But I find that somewhat disconcerting.
Doesn't you know this ticket do that? We I mean, it's just it
this the new way. It's just the way it's gonna be.
Yeah, well, it's the combination with a quorum that irks me I
guess. Because, you know, I haven't heard much good about
those guys.
Well, I don't know him but I mean, I should I mean, yeah, I
haven't either. They seem kind of there's some some corrupt
aspect to it. So we got a letter you've done on that subject.
I'm sorry, it doesn't interest you.
It's really not doesn't because they could do this anyway. I
mean, I don't see you know, somebody come with the house and
clicking a button me they just drive by and do it. Click Click,
click. It's close enough. You know, the damn, that GPS thing
is only good. Good. 10 feet away. Okay, it's not the one
that does the millimeter stuff. Okay.
You've convinced me
this from John Henry. On Thursdays no agenda, you told
how Marcos was told at Tamworth. Do prescriptions need to be
approved by the CDC you asked anyone with knowledge to write.
And by the way, nobody wrote? Well, I guess nobody from the
CDC listens to us. Not yet. I don't have any knowledge. But I
do have an anecdote in 2004 or five I spoke at a pharmaceutical
conference. One of the other speakers was the regional
director of the Food and Drug Administration. I sat in on his
presentation, one of the things he spoke about briefly was a new
program to monitor the sales of certain medications in
drugstores. The one I specifically remember was
Imodium, which is an over the counter anti diarrheal drug,
diarrheal diarrhea
or Imodium ad anti diarrheal.
The way it works at the pharmacies point of sale system
routinely collects information on every product sold, they do
this for inventory, whatever. For certain drugs such as
Imodium, the information is also sent to the CDC. CDC
automatically monitors information knows that in Port
Angeles, for example, 100 bottles a week are normally sold
as long as it's around the baseline, nothing happens but
then all of a sudden there's a spike in Imodium sales, it will
kick out an alarm, which could be an indicator of food
poisoning or some other problems CDC then contacts hospitals and
medical providers to investigate further. I thought that was a
you know, interesting. That's not
that well. That's kind of a good indicator. Yeah, that sounds
right. I'm not against that. As long as they're not you know,
connecting it to me who's taking a shit.
He says that there's no connection to the individual.
Hey, cut off toilet water will smoke them out. He's quite
young. Okay, you're gonna make it through the night. Cheese.
I actually, I wanted to ask you something on a quite serious
note. And I decided to ask it in his program. Sure, because in a
way it's an admission in some rescinding somewhat could you
hook me up with some Tamiflu?
Hi, my doctor is no I can't because my doctor is not who's
next door is in Florida someplace and I don't have his
other number. Well, you should be able to get it from well,
no, you have like you got to stash don't you with a couple
pills? Come on, man. Come on.
You can't do that. You have to have a full prescription that
doesn't do anything. My brother
and I need some I need some Tamiflu. Man, you
there's a doctor in the audience that that lives around San
Francisco Bay Area that calls you Tamiflu will send an email
to adam@media.com you can walk into his office and get your
prescription.
Good. It's not it's not really for me. But I'm a you well, you
know, my, you know, my, my take on everything, but I'm really
worried about my girls.
So the thing the interesting thing is you should be able to
get it in England by the real lenses.
But it's not that simple. Because there are you know,
there's you can get it. And the way the national health system I
have a good doctor a private one that you should they should be
able to get your prescription.
We have socialized medicine in
a way, you know, come on, there's a way around everything.
Yeah. Everything is to ask my friend John, that's exactly what
I was doing. If I
could I would I mean I just do it. Tomorrow. I need your
prescription for two, you know, two rounds. Now the thing is, is
although now it's kind of scarce because everybody's freaked out
over swine flu. So it's Now's not the time. It seems like bad
timing. But the and nothing's gonna happen. Anyway, the
I know. So I get a lot of emails, but even as the placebo
effect because, you know, I talked to my daughter, my wife's
in Holland. She's doing her show. My daughter's home said
Daddy, I have a sore throat.
Yeah, flu doesn't cause a sore throat usually,
but if you read the news reports it's like sore throat fever
vomiting. If I start vomiting well I have swine flu in here
the kids fucking freaked out man about the way they've I know
they've
scared the public. me off. And not only that, but just like
they evacuated her school. My kids school it's fucking
ridiculous. Evacuate. Evacuate in her school. She's on a five
day Bank Holiday now because well, you know, there might be
swine flu in Guilford.
Yeah, likelihood zero. So the round here all the Asians are
freaked out and they've all got swine flu because they woke up
at like the temperature like the thermostats up to hot hot in the
house. And next thing you know, you think you've got swine flu,
or you're just sweating like Stetic I mean, you know, you
know, anyone who's ever had the flu, which is most people you
know what the symptoms are, you can wait until you actually have
a confirmation symptom. You don't want to start wasting this
stuff at $100 a pop and you wait for the point where you you
know, kind of show some riddles flu symptoms, which usually is a
pretty bad fever. And then you take it she's, anyway. So
anyway, I got a bunch of flack on Twitter and elsewhere. Are
you hearing the routers do people like Dvorak are part of
the problem? Because we need to
agreed. I don't know what it's about. But yeah,
we need to Tamiflu for emergencies. We don't need it
for just people just having it just in case which is bull. If I
want pharmacist twittered me that it was like you know,
probably not a bad idea. You're traveling a lot to have one one
round of dosage on your in your suitcase, just in case because
you're not you know what, I'm in Holland and I'm supposed to get
a doctor to give me a prescription for you. Well,
you can't even get antibiotics easily in Holland. You can't I
mean, you have to get a referral notice. I mean, you're
absolutely right. I think you're right to travel with with some
kind of I used to have Tamiflu because it was given to me once
when I had a severe thing. I had a urinary tract infection or
something. Is it used for that?
Now it's only used for the flu. That's why it's called tamma.
Flu.
Well, then why did the doctor given to me a proposes
to rack up the bill. I have no. sound right.
You're probably right. Just a rack of the bill,
not specifically an antiviral for influenza. I mean, they did
maybe there's something
I had it I remember I remember I had it. And maybe it was because
he thought I had the flu, but I had Tamiflu and, and I used one
of the doses, whatever. And then it basically expired. And I
tossed them out because it was years ago. But yeah, and you
should have something like that around.
No, you have to use the whole thing. I mean, I've explained it
before how this stuff works. And then they're gonna explain it
again.
Are you familiar with the Tavis Smiley show?
I can't stand watching him.
I've never seen this before. It's on PBS, I believe, right?
Yes, yes. Who is your style of old fashioned broadcaster is
done. He's got this kind of self of it's kind of a weird
affectation style of speaking that just bugs me.
So you can imagine. And this is a
public speech once he's quite good, but I hate to hate his
show.
Right? Well, you can imagine that when he had prints on his
show, that that was just of course, one big super love fest.
I think they actually privately that seems like they're like
they're good friends. So I was amazed because first of all, I
am. If I'm a fan of any artists, it's prints for a number of
reasons. But of course, it starts with the music. I
actually slept around throughout my entire life. My app, my vinyl
collection consists of like eight prints records. So I was
like, wow, you know, Prince is he's doing like an interview.
And he was, you know, really calm and cool and collected. He
was speaking he was not speaking in his kind of his, his artist.
Voice like, hey, you know, he was just like, talking like he
was dressed and talking like a business man. And I'm watching
the show. And he said some very interesting things about the
record industry. You know, the here that's why he's been so
pissed off. And he's like, I still don't know how many copies
Purple Rain sold. He's like, like, we I got so fucked,
because I got so screwed by the by the mainstream music
industry, which of course, is why he stepped out. But then he
said, he went on about chemtrails. No, it blew me away,
John, actually, I think I have a piece of audio. Because I'm a
fast
learner. So I'm not gonna read none of us on the air. I'm just
going to ask you about this
and just see a little bit further. For those who don't
have the record, you can go to Lowe's cloud docs and hear that
even if you're digging here it's a
mouth style for recording. Let
me see if I can get this a chem trail but
and you see the United Nations steed that directly nations.
You'd hear them talk a lot about religion, you'd hear the Bible
mentioned constantly. Not what we're used to. Here. Good. Is
this. The same thing?
Let me I got good news and bad news. Bad news. Good. Okay.
Well, let me just say, what is the second week in a row you've
had? Yeah, it's clear. It's yeah, and this is why I can't
wait until I'm back at home base. Because this this pisses
me off. So anyway, he's, he suddenly launched into
chemtrails and you know, when I was a kid, I used to look up at
the sky and I'd see the airplanes go by and I'd see
those trails. I'd be like, Wow, that's beautiful, man. That's an
airplane instead. And then I would see more and more of these
trails, and then all of a sudden, I'd see people in my
neighborhood just start fighting with each other for no reason.
They're just getting all pissed off and angry and said, he said,
I encourage everybody everybody who's watching this, you've got
to go find out about chemtrails, because, yeah, man, and I was
like one it is what is with people like him and you for that
matter? Well, it has
been admitted that the government has has been
saturating the air through chemtrails. I mean, it's not
like that's a secret. There's admitted as well. We should
remember the documents, I'll get you the documents. It's
completely admitted. Yeah,
sure. Yes. But that's why I said put it in the show notes. I
will. So, by the way, I had a kid you know, we had a vapor
trail off of our jet coming over from Munich. That because of the
position of the sun The vapor trail was actually you can see
there you see it on the earth. Real as a straight line. I have
a post it never took a photo out the window. Yeah.
On the next show we do which will be Thursday you're gonna
you're gonna eat crow my friend because I'm going to show you
that it's actually
not bad if it's cooked in a, like a slow cooker or such
as Dick. I mean it's just it's just
nothing. But I'm not going to probably eat crow because I just
shooting crows around here. You know too much work. So I went to
a Dutch grocery store. Going back to real news. I don't you
don't have any sound?
I do. Yeah, I do.
And now back to real. Turn that up.
I don't think a lot of people realize that the Dutch buy these
chocolate little piece little like chocolate. Just it's like
these little pieces, little bits of chocolate and they dump it on
bread and eat it
sprinkles. It's crinkled. That's what that's called half of slaw.
Yeah. Which is Dutch for hail. And it's and there's Euclid
Hale.
And there's a ton of different ones. I mean, as you can go to
the students who might have a whole section dedicated to this
stuff.
There's milk chocolate, there's dark chocolate, and they don't
just put it on bread. First they put butter on the bread so that
the sprinkles stick to the bread. And they and that's
that's a main breakfast. Food of champions.
I just I wonder if any other country does that because the
Dutch guy was with said no. She's Dutch. She
also you familiar with Nutella?
Yeah, but the Nutella we have that to me vo office.
The people spread that on bread.
Yeah, well, I mean, some people do. And then there's
also so you also have the colored house law, which saw
that. But then you also have mouse's which are small, round
balls, and they're either pink or white or blue. And you're
supposed to eat those on a Rusk, which is also very Dutch, by the
way, a Rusk? And what is it? A rusk is like a round
piece of toast isn't Yeah, it's like
exactly. It's like round toast exact like Melba Toast. Yeah,
now it's thicker. It's thicker. It's not like Melba Melba would
be more compact. And in fact, tradition in Holland. If, if
there's a new baby in the family, then you go over to
visit and they're really big on birthdays. Birthdays are huge
and horrible. Yeah, this
guy was complaining bitterly about the birthdays. Yeah, we
can get into that.
But if there's a new baby, then you go over and you have stumped
the matter shoes, which means these little mouse kind of hail
things which of them have been put onto these rocks? And if
it's a boy, you have the blue ones. If it's a girl, you have
the pink ones.
Next slide. Yeah, I guess I did. These traditions are interesting
with the EU is going to try to destroy them all. Oh, yeah.
There'll be no more rusks.
So do kids. It'd be something you know, something they weren't
they're not standardized enough.
Or we're gonna celebrate barcode day.
I liked the idea of
when did you get your barcode? September 3 1960. John, your
barcode is so old. It's done in twigs.
There you go. So I bought it. I bought some of this real wood.
They have this marshmallow candies like a twirly thing. And
it's got colors very pretty. Oh, specie. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he says it's a you eat it right? It's
some marshmallow.
Well, it's not really a marshmallow. It's kind of like a
marshmallow. But it's maybe it's a triangle shape.
Now, these are long sticks. And it's totally
it's so funny to hear you discover those little cultural
things?
No, no, there's nothing much else to do as far as I'm
concerned travel except you're gonna you're gonna live
and travel except any my Tamiflu catch some of
these cultural things that are going on. So you can see I don't
know, um, it's just fascinating to me that you would have, you
know, the way that people do things is there was something I
saw in fact, they saw Oh, yeah, this was a good one. I don't
know the name of it, but you'll probably catch it. I took a
photo and I'll probably post it. So we're driving along the guy
such as see that thing. I forgot what it's called. But it looks
like a like a huge basketball hoop only it's set vertically or
horizontally or vertically up straight at you. And it's got a
big bag like a big net on the back of it and you can drive by
in your car so can do it as you're moving.
Yeah, yeah. It makes turns it into a game. It's fun for the
whole family.
I mean, I thought that was genius. Because you know, people
throw crap out the you know, onto the street while you drive
along. And you see one of these things and you take your bigger
cam that you've got rolling around the car, and you just
chuck it into this thing while you're moving.
My here's some some curry clan culture for you. It came from my
grandfather, when when we used to go on road trips. Of course,
back when I was a boy, you went in the car on a road trip and
you drove for eight hours to get somewhere for Easter weekend or
whatever, and to go to see family and in the car, we were
only allowed to eat apples. And of course, you know, it's like a
bummer, right? You know, I was like, Yeah, I don't want to just
apples in the car. But there was a catch to it. Because if we
only ate apples, then we were allowed to throw as many apples
cores as we wanted at any stop sign, which was kind of fun.
Was that did that have to do with the AMI? You could throw it
at the stop sign? Yeah,
so. So we're only allowed to eat apples. But because of that,
whenever we stopped at a stop sign, we were allowed to throw
all of our cores at the stops.
Funny Yeah, it was kind of a stop sign
is like, Hey, man, a stop sign. I gotta give me another apple. I
want to eat another apple because I want to throw it at
the stop sign. It was smart. It was, you know, my parents were
psychologists, what can I tell you?
So let's see what else we got on the list here.
Well, just staying with the Netherlands for a moment, of
course,
I find it to be an interesting place.
It's a very interesting place. It's always been the gateway to
Europe. And it's always been a great place to beta test
anything for Europe. In fact, when I was just starting out in
the in the early 80s on television with music, I
interviewed every single measure megastar and the less mega stars
in the music business from around the world. Because they
all would come through Holland first because that that was they
would even come to Holland before they went to the UK which
of course geographically is closer than to the to the states
then Holland. So it's perfect. They try everything out there
every single thing. And you know, as you know that this is
this is the Netherlands is a lockdown enslaved state. I mean,
it's complete police state. So yeah, they try everything out
there first. So I know you brought back a newspaper. I've
seen a couple other newspapers. But this this guy who killed
five people by driving through the crowd through the barricade
and then eventually crashed into a monument. Now it has been
confirmed. This was an attempt on the Queen's life, which by
the way, pretty poor attempt if you're trying to kill the queen,
who's on a double decker bus, and you're doing it with a
Suzuki Swift that's I'm going to tell you who's going to win that
match right now. But this is now confirmed as an attempt on her
life. And it holds
a guy's dead How can it be confirmed it's it's supposed to
come Why is
why is the guy dead? You know it's like to to the head.
But it was hit the thing? Yeah, actually the accident didn't
look it didn't you know, he went first he had to hit that there
was a there's a fence around that monument that he had to hit
first which is slow him down after hitting all those people.
What's what slowed him down was the people that's what all the
dents in the car when you hit a person, man, you're gonna mess
up your car too. And this is horrific, horrific pictures of
you know, there's one shot that every newspaper had and the
guy's literally under the wheels. You know, it's just it's
just it's so horrible. But what what has really taken place is
it has broken a major cultural barrier in the country. And I
just had to stop for a moment and talk about that. Because
this is the first thing my wife said it's the first thing
everyone says they've this loon this meme has been launched
these days are over is basically what it is. You know the days of
the Queen and the flags and the kids singing songs and we were
all safe and we're protected that's a beautiful world blamed
is over it is exactly but it's being blamed on this guy. Now,
just like we have to, you know, we have to contend take more
than 100 milliliters of liquid on a plane because some guys
supposedly we're going to go blow up some planes which turned
out to be not true not convictable this guy is going to
be blamed. Well, you're absolutely right. It's the EU
and let's not overlook the fact that the Queen of the
Netherlands is one of the richest women in the world owns
the majority of shell and there's a lot of shit going on
right now in the world of energy and that and she has enemies and
I'm sure you know that there's crap going on and this was a
message this was a real message and they turn that around and
they've turned it into Okay, now we're no longer safe in fact, I
would say from a a mass psychology point of view this
was a form of a 911 for the Netherlands to usher in more
protection isms you know more police less fun
to have they already have the less fun going on. I got a good
shot of a shut down coffee shop with the you know for sale signs
pretty good.
No, that's sad.
I got a lot of good photos. I mean I shot let's see On the two
cameras I probably shot I think I shot 600 pictures on the, on
the Olympus 510 and probably shot another 250 pictures on the
on the pocket camera.
Wow, what do you like? Do you publish these? Or do you just?
Yeah, I mean, I put some of the best ones up and then I you
know, and the rest of them I know some of my turn to art. I
mean, I just do different things with them. I mean, I have more
good pictures than I know what to do with. That's
the problem. You know, friend of mine. Whenever he does trips
around the world from time to time, and he has a theme and he
takes pictures and then he self publishes a book after the fact
which I find to be so lovely. And he sends it to people as
Christmas gifts. Now that's nice. And he writes it actually
yeah, he writes a little you know, little travel dialogue and
and he selects some pictures and it's yeah, it's cool. And he has
a map on the inside cover. It's really it's quite an quite nice.
Yeah, something I should do if I had more time in the day. Oh, by
the way, what's the deal with they got this cheese in Holland
is that got cumin in it?
Oh, Coco, Amanda cause Yeah, yeah, like that. She's actually
it is good. knew what I was thinking I had it. I was like,
this shredded would be great on a taco.
Huh? Interesting. Well, they don't sell it shredded.
Typically. Typically they sell it in thin slices. It's pretty.
Right or your block. Yeah. But I'm just thinking that's what I
thought at first thing was a shredded it would be interesting
on a taco.
I'm going to try that. That's a good idea. Patricia makes tacos
from time to time. That's how you use that cheese. dinette.
She doesn't like that. She's you know that even though it's a
very Dutch Dutch type of thing. She's a major cheesehead but she
has not not like the and you say cumin it's funny because they
call it Khomeini cause, which, which, if you listen carefully,
is Ayatollah Khomeini. Oh, cute. Khomeini Cass.
And the other thing is just a last note until I started going
through my photos, and then I'll see oh, there's that. There's a
lot of guys over there with your hair cut.
Yeah, it's back in style. I waited long enough. And my
shoulder pads are coming back too.
Yeah, I think so. So I thought you should know.
Well, yeah, thanks. You know, not like I'm a trendsetter,
anything.
So far, you know, they gave it a stop clock is right, twice a
year, twice a day.
Right. Dr. Ron Paul, Congressman Ron Paul's audit, the Fed House
Resolution now has 120 co sponsors. Wow. Yeah, we're
getting closer. How many do you need to have before? It's like a
lock in?
The majority?
What's What's the majority?
I don't know. What's the number that you need to you need to
visit? How many? How many in the house?
Let's google it. I don't know what it is actually, actually, I
can come up with a number. I think it's 300. And something
400.
And something Oh, so that's close, then, then I think you
need
to let's see how to represent the Google stuff now. Because?
Because you don't know. No, because
of the that thing with Air Force One. I got so much email.
Yeah, I got it too. And, and people get angry. No, or
anything. And honestly, you know, just my logical fixed at
435. Sorry, 430 fives, number
435. So you need 200 And something unique. But wouldn't
that be awesome? Because he and I've been kind of reading along
the campaign for liberty is where you can read all about
this campaign for liberty.com to 18. You need to 18? Right. And
it's you know what this capacity stolen? Audit it so forget it?
Well, I'm not that my friend is being jaded. I mean, I was how
can you say that? I mean, that just said it? True. I mean, I
know you wasted a half a carbon footprint on saying it, but
it's, if it passes, it will happen. It will happen,
then they'll get bad numbers. This is reminds me of the I used
to be involved in these losses between AMD and Intel. And
there's a process that Intel used to use, which was just
Yeah, and you could see this happening all over the place is
a model, it's a fractal. And, you know, you go for sure, you'd
have a big fight over some in this case would be this, this
law about whether we can got it, whether we can have even do this
or does it legally, you know, because it gives you an
unconstitutional law. And they you know, so they fight, fight
fight. And so they that goes on for a year. So then they say
yeah, no, you have to do you have to do the audit. So then
and in the case of Intel, they said you have to turn over the
diagram. So Intel turns over the diagrams like two years later to
you know, or the or the plans or the they fight that for more
time fighting, fighting, fighting, and they turn over
stuff and then it takes another year before AMD or whoever
depends on who's being sued. finds out that these are not the
right ones. Yeah, well, and then They go back to Oh, it was a
mistake. We had to we had to fire the guy who sent those. And
then they'd go through another battle and it just never ends.
And then never, nobody ever gets
accomplished. What's a disturbing trend that I only
discovered when I started reading the documents of the
Lisbon Treaty, which is the EU constitution disguised?
And before you say that, on the plane back there is there's some
channel that's being shown in the EU constantly talking about
the big elections coming up in June, and how important and then
they have all these men on the street with a microphone and Oh,
I'm so happy to be voting for the
euro in Europe. It's a weird one Europe, aren't we great? Aren't
we cool? In the Lisbon Treaty, it clearly states that the
European Central Bank, and all of its employees are not only
indemnified, from any prosecution, from any court
anywhere in the known universe. But all of the buildings,
archives, and anything contained within these buildings are
sovereign, sovereign John cannot be invaded, audited, visited any
form whatsoever. And that's exactly what the Federal
Reserve, of course, got in 1932. I don't know if it was in the
original act. But you know, there's gold trading going on
between the Federal Reserve and other central banks that is
unaudited that we don't know about, Hey, man, that's our
gold, I'd like to remind you, it's our gold, our gold. And
they're trading it and we'd have no idea to to know how much you
owe for what price or who they're trading it? Well, we
kind of know it's with China, the China's buying everything
up. But it would be that would be such a good start. I'm really
at the end of the day, if you can stop these, these cracks
from from screwing with our money, then Wow, a lot would
change, you know, follow the money. They don't say it for
nothing.
Well, I'm glad you're optimistic.
Well, I have to be optimistic. And this is the soul searching
that I've been doing, John, I've been thinking, obviously, my
tact my approach is not working. We have a great show. We talk
about all the things that piss me off. And of course, nothing
happens. We just do another show the next time.
What do you expect to happen? Well,
a good friend of mine said to me, just the other day said, you
know, you get too angry, and people don't hear you through
the anger. So they're not here. So I'm trying to Jack Nicholson
eyes myself, I got to do something I've got to change.
And I've got to pursue certain things. And I like this, this
audit the Fed, that's something I can really stand behind is a
legal process.
Are you going to get depressed when it never actually get? No?
No, of
course not. No, because that's not the stance I take, it will
get audited if we can get this thing to pass. And I encourage
you to call your congress, congressman or woman, your
representative in Washington should be fairly easy to find
out who that is and call them. Don't email them, call them and
say, Hey, would you please support Ron Paul's bill to audit
the Fed? At least let's get it passed. And then we'll take the
next step. Right.
Yeah, no, I'm I think it should be it's a good idea. Well, you
might, why not? What damages? What does that make to anybody?
Whether it's audited? I mean, why would the Fed not want it to
be audited so they can get? Because they're secretive?
Because they're stealing our shit.
That's why That's what you think. Oh, right. You don't? I
think, please, I don't
we literally borrow our own money back from those guys. And
what the hell is that all about? Well, I heard that I heard that.
Who took over from Kennedy was a Johnson when he was
assassinated. So what I understand is that Kennedy had
signed a bill that, in essence, was going to rescind the Federal
Reserve Act. And then he was assassinated. And he was he was
on the day that he was assassinated. Johnson, of
course, assume the presidency. And he struck that bill. He got
rid of it.
Yeah. Yeah, this story has been going around. Is that not true?
Have you ever looked into it? No. You know, I saw a couple of
documentation, some documents and indicated might you know
that it was some, you know, coincidence, or I don't know. I
mean, it's possible. It wasn't
it wasn't Lincoln, who started with the greenbacks, which of
course, was another way of removing the banks for the
process.
I don't think Lincoln really was that there's a beautiful statue
of Abraham Lincoln, you know, as everybody wants to assume that
these guys were amazing. Lincoln was shot by a nutcase and
Kennedy was to your
own nutcase. Right. I was walking through San Francisco
the other day, and I don't remember where I was, but
there's a beautiful statue of Abraham Lincoln, and it's, it's
kind of like life size. So it's not a huge, you know, a huge
thing that towers over you You can kind of stay right by
Oh no, that there's a statue of Lincoln in San Francisco. That's
interesting. Yeah.
What's the square? It's okay. This is when I walked up to
Circuit City
show us wasn't some random hippie that they made a statue.
Bronze, some hippie with a hat. Oh, it was and it was given to
it was, you know, the city of San Francisco by whatever
Association, the Freemasons probably I don't know. But that
he's sitting there in his chair and he's in it's very detailed.
Are you googling this to see if you can find out where it is?
Yeah, I'm
looking at a statute. San Francisco is by City Hall.
Yes. By City Hall. Exactly. Do you have a picture of it?
I'm getting there. Flickr. Yeah, somebody on Flickr if you go to
flickr.com and type in Lincoln statue, San Francisco City.
Yeah, it's a picture him sitting in his chair. Is that the one he
talking about? Yeah,
exactly. And you can stand right in front of him. And you know
what, I really felt some kind of things. It was like, Wow, man,
you know, dude, this was this was a dude back in the day.
Probably a contact tie from a nearby dope smoker.
I get no respect from you, John.
I'm telling you, they smoke dope in the city. You think? So we do
have to mention a few people this week.
Oh, good. I always like this part of the show turned on your
speakers.
I had to turn them up because I had to go find this list. And I
wanted to hear you. So a couple people gave us a we have a bunch
of weird notice because some of the weird numbers and see if we
can identify any of them. These are
donations to the no agenda armory, by the way. And I
promised that once we are back in our respective hideout
locations, that we're actually going to get some of the shit
together because we owe some people some flatware. We owe
some people, some certificates. And we have a lot of ideas. And
I'd really I'd like to
start executing on them. Yeah, we need to get more people
supporting us. Yeah, and we need to execute on some of the things
we're talking ya know, we talked a big game, but we haven't even
put up a website. Yeah, exactly. We suck. Although we do have a
website that we're working on through squarespace.com You can
go to squarespace.com and type in tech for your discount
anyway.
Did you just slip into the commercial?
Did you just mention it?
Might as well?
Oh my god.
Here we go. 717 $7.17 What do you think 717 means
717
And it wasn't a commercial was a plug. You'll different Wow.
Okay, this guy's the due to the seven seven to $7.17 I'm
guessing that he either how easy their pay pal customer or
something because seven when you give when you donate $7.17 The
amount of money pay pal takes out results in a net donation of
666
No, you're kidding me. Oh, that's beautiful. Pay Pal tax
that much money.
Yeah, well, they take time. That's why I want people should
not get you know that said the $2 a month they should do the
$24 a year
and another thing we've got a change on the site, John. Wow,
that's great. 717 you get 666 Fantastic. Good. That's
the winner by the way.
That is a
good one. Is it so that's when who gave that? I don't have his
name because he only names are a Delta guys. We get $50 or more
sorry. We got to 1984 1976 What's 1976 1976
was the bicentennial of the United States of course founded
in 1770.
Okay, that could be 1859 1850 was the beginning of the Civil
War
largely and it started at six Yeah, I was gonna say Isn't that
just before the Civil War it should have been a crash I don't
know what 1815 Or maybe that's a there was some something that
happened some American historical event took place
$22.22 2222 anything Oh, yes.
I know what that is. That's mafia code for to to the head. I
know this one. So it you're serious. Yeah. So because
someone emailed me this and said I just donated it. Let me look
it up because someone told me about this donation. Yeah, he
gave it away. He said, You know, you're probably going to be
wondering I'll look it up while we're talking. And he said it's
something like the the mom always shoots people with home.
Let me just Google it in my Gmail 22 dot 22 Come on Gmail.
Don't let me down. Oh, yes. Boom. Edie? Here it is. I got
it. Edie touring tour Igni twisty knee. I think, Adam I set
my $22.22 in for no agenda under my Pay Pal name. I thought I'd
let you in on the meaning of it. So if John brings it up, you
know what I mean? And he will never guess it. I've Gee, I
didn't use his information very well. Did I? A real pro mafia
type Hitman uses a throwaway gun loaded with 22 caliber caliber
ammo in particular 22 shorts. These little bullets don't make
much noise. It also the Hitman just walks up to you and pop pop
puts to to the head and leaves. So 2222 22 is two to the head.
Yeah, and the thing is about those 22 is that there are
they're just very they don't make a lot of noise and then if
you get it you want it penetrates the the skull and
then it bounces around inside the brain scrambles it because
it can't get out here. You
got like freaking scrambled eggs in your noggin.
So 2036
Oh, I should know this one. Why does that? One is that 2036 1913
we know is
tax 18 is the Federal Reserve Act.
No need to change the Federal Tax Act.
Oh, the tax act. I'm sorry. Yes, Federal Reserve Act was in
3219 13. The tax act the Federal Tax
Act, right 2112. What do you think that is? 2112. Could be a
palindrome? Yeah.
Well, it isn't. Isn't Palindrome I
don't know. It is a palindrome. Sorry. Couldn't maybe that's all
the references. I don't know. I don't know. 2112 I don't know
that. That's it's something some it's probably a reference to
Star Trek or something. 2036 is I don't know. 512.
Which is that's the original Mac. Yeah, that's it was
513 32. Which I don't know that when there's some historical
1332 I don't know that one. All right. Well, look at that one.
Maybe the guy can clue us in. Anyway, so we got some bad
donors that went over 50 bucks at the tip top
website.com 149 40 which is gotta be a number that means
something to tip top website.
First of all, 1332 of course, is 666 times two. All right, we did
that one already. Did that one. That's not and what was that?
What the 14 What was that?
$149.40. Well, it's 14 944.
When did the Oh, when did the when Columbus discovered
America? 1492 1492
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Oh, man. Sound is breaking up. We're gonna
hold on. Yes, right from the weather. Another one did Matthew
Tipton. Yeah. Cough gave us 6969 Which works.
And what could that what could the significance of that one be?
John? Who knows? i It's been a while since I've even discussed
6969.
Yeah. 6969. We encourage more of those donations. Darryl Pitts
had 6666. Good one. That's a good one to Randall Hayes just
said screw all this bowl. Here's 100 bucks I write on. Then we
have Lennart rent, comma. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. And
he's got another odd one 138 46 138 46. I don't know what
that is, man. Where are we? He's gonna have to tell us. Somebody,
by the way gave us $5.11 three times in a row, bang, bang,
bang. What do you think that could be? Have you done the
math? And that's 1533 1533. I don't know. I don't get I don't
I don't get it. Booking where we let the listeners try to figure
that out. And then some mafi hash go. Gave us $50. So that's
our excellent good guys of the week.
Yeah, thank you all so very much. If you can't donate any
money, then putting this show on if you actually we're trying to
keep it under 80 minutes, so you can burn it onto a disk. You can

direct.org/in a bit then there's the no agenda library.
Yeah, but I'm not using that brand anymore because we know
it's the armory and
you gotta get a new website. Then we got to get a website

Yeah, okay. Well, I don't have one on this machine. Sure. I
don't. So, okay, what's on our list? We anything else? You
gotta go and we got another 20 minutes to George 15 minutes.
Well actually, as I said, I want to try and yeah, 15 minutes. Um,
well, as I told you before I started actually I have done
absolutely. F all in prep. I did nothing.
Go ahead and I can bring up this topic.
Do you mind if I just go blow my nose for a second?
Well, no, I think that's fine. You want me I'll talk to the
listeners while you're blowing your nose because you apparently
have a cold. Even though you start you had swine flu. And by
the way, we didn't talk enough about swine flu. I think
probably bring it back up on Thursday after probably blows
over completely. So yeah, it's gonna blow over. Thank you. So
we're talking about some reasons my wife and I both got on the
computer we got into a Jag you'll pick there's a New York
Times article bringing up the fact that it looks like high
fructose corn syrup actually isn't good.
Oh, gee, not something we've discussed on the show before now
is it
it says obesity and heart disease and all this other stuff
so on meanwhile, Pepsi has come out with this Pepsi throwback,
which you're going to have out for three months only. And
Mountain Dew throwback, which eliminates the high fructose
corn syrup and throw it in regular sucrose. So we were
looking at all these different things that turns out, here's
some numbers that are kind of interesting. For one thing, they
think that that most Americans after 1996 They'd be before 9096
boys would drink to x 20 years ago, I'd say 2x more milk than
sodas. And then the growth 1.5x More since 1996. More sodas than
milk are being drunk and with the with the effect it's
apparently very damaging to the bones two things. One, caffeine
has an effect on the calcium and your calcium needs. You're in
formative years, you're you know, you have to get a good
bone structure, bone structure, of course and the candidate
phosphorus leeches calcium.
So not only are you depriving yourself of a going in, but it's
actually taking it away whatever's in there. Yeah. Jesus
Christ.
So you're wondering,
so what is Pepsi doing them? What's this special
thing called Pepsi throwback, which has got regular sugar, and
it's like Mexican coke. No,
I've noticed this trend. This is very interesting. I have noticed
a huge trend of real sugar sweetened with real sugar. Have
you noticed this?
Yeah. And it's like a selling point. Yeah, well,
but it's not bad. I real sugar is good, isn't it? I mean, yeah,
well, it's
better than this. This whatever this hammock
goes, yeah. Cheese. So okay. And then of course, we market this
red bull crap to our kids, which has, you know, 30% of the drink
is caffeine. Totally depriving them of incredibly important
stuff they need for their growing bodies.
Yeah, kitchen beauty should be drinking milk. So here's the
key. Here's the what do you think that yearly? gallonage is
for soda pop in the United States on a yearly basis? Oh,
god. No, it's impossible.
Let me just say we have 300 million people. I would say each
of those people probably drinks at least one Canada Day on
average. So I'm going to say about 1,000,000,000,009
trillion is way too high. It's only 13 billion gallons. It may
be a trillion camera. It's probably a trillion cans.
Exactly. The average is actually three cans daily for a boy. Wow.
Wow. And two cats for girls. By the way, a couple of little side
notes I got here anyway,
just to stay on that for one second before you close it out.
When I was a kid, and I'm now old enough to say that shit.
When I was a kid. We weren't allowed to drink soft drinks.
You know, it was a treat. Maybe on the Saturday you know? Okay,
kids, you know, we drank Kool Aid. You know, we had lemonade.
G we actually had lemonade stands. We made our own stuff.
We made ice tea and we went out to the garden. We picked some
mint and we put it into the ice tea. What happened to that?
Since 2005. Soda Pop is the single largest source of
calories for an American.
No wonder we're dying. I said to a friend the other day and I
said, Oh, you know, look at all this shit that they're sort of
they're serving us. They just want to kill us. And friends.
This much of this began during the Clinton administration in
1996 when the schools were allowed to do bidding with these
big companies like McDonald's and then they started taking the
milk out and putting soda in. And remember there's also a
thing called channel one In which was yeah,
that was a an educational channel in the mid 90s with
advertisements set up by what was the guy's name? It was like
I think was widdle. That's right. Chris widow who of
course, has his his satellite academy or whatever. I think he
went broke. Yeah. Now the whole project went belly up. I
remember they were a client and they didn't pay.
Yeah. And pay. They can pay in advance. Anyway. Do you
advertise B candy bars and things like that, right? Yeah.
bad, very bad. So I'm floating, by the way and I'm leaving
Europe. And I always forget this. I always take pictures. I
never post these pictures of the signage that are on tobacco
products at the Duty Free Store in Europe. In Europe.
When you buy tobacco, you have to specifically ask for the kind
that doesn't give you cancer. Because it says right here, what
do I have here? I have a Oh, this one's actually quite tan
because there's different ones the signage on my tobacco, which
I have here, which is old Holborn is fine British rolling
tobacco smoking seriously harms you and others around you now
that is very mild. But here it is on the back. Smoking may
reduce the blood flow and causes impotence and they have a
picture of a cigarette that's bent down
yeah, there's that but the main one is smoking tobacco will kill
you. Yeah, exactly what it says and a huge sign. even keel kills
you
earlier or something like or you will die younger. And it's true.
There's about five or
six of these things are trying them out. I'm not gonna lie. My
wife points out that this in that analyst, it's called neuro
marketing. It turns out to the signage that says this will
product will kill you actually tricked. You want to go and buy
it. Yes. It makes you buy more.
Of course it does. It's so it's so idiotic. There's not a single
Tet. Have you ever read? Anywhere said hey, you know that
stuff we put on the packs? That's really effective. I
haven't heard that. I haven't heard that
that survey. No, I'm fine. There's make it bigger. Yeah.
Why do you think these guys you never hear anyone complaining?
They're like, do they want us to put like this. I'm looking at
this pack. And this is great. I should scan this. And so there's
like a cigarette and it's halfway smoked, and half of it
is ash and it's kind of lit and it's bent down like a flaccid
penis. And it says smoking rate may reduce the blood flow and
cause impotence. And I look at this, and the first thing that
comes to mind, John, when I see that is like sex. Yeah, yeah, I
think it's Well, luckily, I don't have that problem.
Yeah, that's probably another thing. Oh, that's great. That
doesn't reflect me that right.
Let's smoke some more. So wait a minute. I've been trapped.
The whole thing. All these years? Yeah, you have actually
Yeah, so I gotta ask you this. Yeah. So I got this got the
paper from Amsterdam is called NB na what's the name NRC.
The NRC? No, no, this is just a D off Main dock. But
yeah, yeah. So it's a tablet. It's actually quite good. A lot
of pictures
and I don't like them because they're a copy paste
publication. Pretty much
but an okay, well, anyway, there's a Who's this woman
Wendy. Oh, jeez. Wendy from DAG. I get ya Bondi. Yeah. diked
Wendy Van Dyck, Karina and Emma's
she's a TV.
Paris Hilton of
knowledge. Oh, please, please stop. No, no, she's extremely
irritating. She
up. I repeat myself. Yes.
No, she's not. She's extremely irritating, but not not not in
the Paris Hilton way cuz she's not hot. But she she's, she's a
TV presenter. And she started off she had this show, which was
kind of cute called oshi. And fun DAG. And she would dress up.
It was kind of corny because it would work sometimes. But it was
the same formula. She dressed up as a Japanese journalist. And
the transformation was good. She looked Japanese. And she got Oh,
I thought and she couldn't speak any English. So she had a
translator which, you know, whole setup. And whenever press
junkets would come through town, you'd have like, you know,
George Clooney and Brad pred, or, you know, whatever majors,
Hollywood celebrities, then they, you know, they they
request an interview, and this is the number one show or news
channel in Japan. And so of course, all these super
celebrities would do these interviews. And they would make
it really, you know, crazy questions. Yeah, but but dumb,
the Dutch or at dumb, and, and you know, and then there would
be the big reveal. And like, and the celebrities were like, well,
yeah, you got me, but who the fuck are you? It's like, it's
one thing if it's, uh, you know,
Ashton Kutcher, Ashton
Kutcher, exactly, you know, or something like that, but it's
like oh, yeah, that's a good that's funny. You got me but
it's so who are you and what did you know? Haha. So it never
really works because the celebrities know the payoff is
never good for the celebrity because they're like, Well, what
the hell is that? Just want to promote my damn movie, you know?
Anyway, so now she hosts X Factor and all this other stuff
and she's screwing with the I'm with the program director, which
of course, is why everyone in TV land hates her, because her show
should actually be off the air. But it's still on despite low
ratings because she's bone in the guy. Okay, so that's Wendy,
what about her?
She's all over the paper.
She's probably bone in the editor
whatever the case I just was on who is this woman? I
don't know her personally, I'm sure she's quite sweet for you.
For a moment there, she was the super darling, because she was
married to kind of a rock star dude named Sunder. And they had
a baby together. And of course, it was a you know, a big Dutch
version of celebrity love affair. And then he cheated on
some girls after on his on Wednesday with some girls after
some gig. You know, just one of those one of those rock and roll
type things. But it was actually the girls who then had tape
recorded him and it was crazy sock, it was like, every guy
there was like, Oh, dude, that's like, and you know, the sex was
dumb and useless. You know, the guy does show he's got 1000s of
girls adoring him, you know, like, one of them says, Hey,
come on, when you blow, you know, you understand how these
things go. Because these guys are pretty simple that way. And
every guy is just thinking, oh, man, you've so got so so so
screwed, so useless. So for no reason. And of course, Wendy
immediately said, I never want to speak to him again. And he
was the dog. I'm talking three, four years of, you know, if
anyone was a dick, it was his name was associated with it, you
know, oh, he's just like sander. And so but these things the way
the media goes, you when you when you cast the ball, it will
come back to you. That's how it works. So Wendy totally use that
to, to vilify and to and to annihilate this guy. And now
she's getting it back. And now the presses going, oh, oh, you
think you're so Miss goody two shoes, what are you doing bone
in the program director. This, by the way, is how the media
works. And that is exactly how and why we come up with
that now back to real,
because we just spent 10 minutes talking about it.
Yeah, but you know what? It's interesting, because we're
actually not talking about that at all. We are talking about the
sociology. And we're using the exemplification in regards to
Wendy to better analyze the sociology that so we can
understand the world around us in a little in a manner that
makes us more effective as human beings.
I'd call that the perfect end of the show, John? I think so.
Because you just explained in a nutshell with more eloquent than
I could ever produce
what we're all about.
And we're under 80 minutes. So you people can burn this to a
CD, which is our goal. And it's a good one, and it'll help us
get to three Shows a week sooner if you help us out. And by the
way, I got a lot of email about that, too. I have not got a
single person who said and maybe though these people just don't
email. No one has said Oh, no, no, do less shows. I only get do
more. I want three. I want four. I want five shows
a week. Yeah, I think it's unusual. But I can see it. You
know if Yeah, that people will have a long commute. Probably
would love to have lots of this stuff. Yeah.
Coming from get my nation Northwest, not quite in the
place called Silicon Silicon Alley, but of course it doesn't
exist. I'm in San Francisco. My name is Adam curry.
And here from the other side of the great San Francisco Bay in
the ghetto nation West. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We will talk to you again on Thursday right here. I know
agenda
