00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,882
Scam, this whole thing. Life is a scam. This thing

2
00:00:03,962 --> 00:00:09,386
is a scam. Life is a scam. in on this

3
00:00:09,446 --> 00:00:12,428
game, this whole thing. Death and destruction. Life is a

4
00:00:12,508 --> 00:00:15,630
scam. This whole thing is a scam. This whole thing.

5
00:00:19,292 --> 00:00:25,997
This thing is a scam. Adam Curry, John C. Devorah.

6
00:00:26,017 --> 00:00:29,139
It's Thursday, July 23rd, 2026. This is your award-winning Get

7
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:34,282
More Nation Media assassination episode 1888. This is no agenda.

8
00:00:38,165 --> 00:00:40,927
Well, with the passing of John C. Dvorak, I think

9
00:00:41,027 --> 00:00:44,949
it's only fitting that I declare July 20th a national

10
00:00:45,009 --> 00:00:48,752
holiday in the honor of John, the co-creator of the

11
00:00:48,832 --> 00:00:59,519
best podcast in the universe. Welcome to episode 1,888 of

12
00:00:59,539 --> 00:01:02,861
the best podcast in the universe. Your No Agenda Show.

13
00:01:04,062 --> 00:01:06,684
Family. Today I have a hole in my heart you

14
00:01:06,724 --> 00:01:10,586
could turn a 747 around in. John C. Dvorak, my

15
00:01:10,686 --> 00:01:15,149
friend, my business partner, my comedic counterpart, my all-time favorite

16
00:01:15,189 --> 00:01:18,732
broadcaster, is no longer here to share the joy of

17
00:01:18,792 --> 00:01:21,754
what we love to do twice a week on Thursdays.

18
00:01:22,995 --> 00:01:25,456
Almost 19 years ago, we decided to hit record on

19
00:01:25,556 --> 00:01:27,898
conversations we were having when I was living in London

20
00:01:27,958 --> 00:01:31,140
and John in San Francisco. We discuss the news, me

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,501
on my side looking through the Financial Times or the

22
00:01:33,501 --> 00:01:36,363
British tabloids, John on his side looking through the New

23
00:01:36,403 --> 00:01:39,646
York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle. We talked about

24
00:01:39,666 --> 00:01:42,587
technology, we talked about cooking, we talked about our lives.

25
00:01:43,328 --> 00:01:45,329
We didn't know if anyone really found it interesting, but

26
00:01:45,349 --> 00:01:48,031
we didn't care. We were just recording it because, well,

27
00:01:48,431 --> 00:01:51,433
hey, maybe someone out there would enjoy listening. From the

28
00:01:51,453 --> 00:01:54,395
very first show, we promised that this podcast would never

29
00:01:54,475 --> 00:01:58,898
have jingles, commercials, bips and boops, sound effects, anything basically

30
00:01:58,958 --> 00:02:02,401
standard broadcast. And boy, were we wrong. We also never

31
00:02:02,421 --> 00:02:05,483
had listeners. From the early episodes, we decided that in

32
00:02:05,603 --> 00:02:09,345
order to make this work financially without staff, everybody would

33
00:02:09,385 --> 00:02:12,728
have to be a producer, contributing their time, talent, and

34
00:02:12,788 --> 00:02:17,951
treasure. We called ourselves media deconstructionists, but really we were

35
00:02:17,991 --> 00:02:20,613
just trying to impress each other, make each other laugh

36
00:02:20,693 --> 00:02:22,694
with the things we found or the punchlines we had

37
00:02:22,734 --> 00:02:27,477
delivered to each other. Since John passed, I've been listening

38
00:02:27,517 --> 00:02:30,339
to older shows, trying to pick clips, which is just

39
00:02:30,399 --> 00:02:34,962
virtually impossible. Because every single show had something magic in

40
00:02:35,042 --> 00:02:39,585
it. Even our notorious arguments were beauty in itself. We

41
00:02:39,705 --> 00:02:42,287
always felt that when people were uncomfortable listening to us

42
00:02:42,487 --> 00:02:44,909
argue or kvetch, that it was like mom and dad

43
00:02:44,989 --> 00:02:47,891
having a fight. And to us as broadcasters, that was

44
00:02:48,011 --> 00:02:51,793
a success because we touched people emotionally the same way

45
00:02:51,833 --> 00:02:54,996
as if we'd made them laugh. Now don't get me

46
00:02:55,056 --> 00:02:58,678
wrong. We always wanted to make people laugh. And without

47
00:02:58,758 --> 00:03:01,100
even ever having discussed it, we both felt that looking

48
00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:03,301
at the world around us, the news that shoved in

49
00:03:03,361 --> 00:03:05,803
our face, most of it not true, or merely to

50
00:03:05,863 --> 00:03:09,285
promote some other entertainment product, having the ability to look

51
00:03:09,305 --> 00:03:11,126
through it all and laugh at it would make the

52
00:03:11,146 --> 00:03:14,388
world a better place for our family, our no-agenda family,

53
00:03:14,709 --> 00:03:19,892
no-agenda nation. John was the most unique man I'd ever

54
00:03:19,952 --> 00:03:22,414
met. The first time I ever spoke with him was

55
00:03:22,494 --> 00:03:25,416
on an episode of Twit, audio only. We were both

56
00:03:25,496 --> 00:03:27,437
remote, I think, and at the end, there was a

57
00:03:27,437 --> 00:03:29,478
little bit of chatter off air, and John said, Hey,

58
00:03:29,779 --> 00:03:31,820
Curry, what's your deal? Are you rich or what's going

59
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,862
on with that? I said, why don't we have lunch?

60
00:03:34,902 --> 00:03:37,464
I'll tell you all about it. That was the beginning

61
00:03:37,524 --> 00:03:40,826
of a long friendship and partnership. The most beautiful thing

62
00:03:40,886 --> 00:03:43,288
about John is that we had complete trust in each

63
00:03:43,388 --> 00:03:47,030
other. The division of work, the consistency, even in business,

64
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:50,953
the entire operation was based on a handshake. Even though

65
00:03:50,953 --> 00:03:53,554
the IRS later made us form an LLC because they

66
00:03:53,654 --> 00:03:57,977
couldn't understand what all these $3.33 checks and cashabouts coming

67
00:03:58,017 --> 00:04:01,720
in every single week. We rarely spoke outside of the

68
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:03,861
show. Maybe if a server was down or something had

69
00:04:03,901 --> 00:04:06,863
happened that would affect business process, we might have a

70
00:04:06,883 --> 00:04:10,125
short text, email, or a phone call. We never discussed

71
00:04:10,125 --> 00:04:11,646
what we were going to do on the show. Everything

72
00:04:11,686 --> 00:04:14,788
was completely unscripted. And this is the point I really

73
00:04:14,808 --> 00:04:17,410
want to make. This wasn't just a show. It was

74
00:04:17,450 --> 00:04:20,812
a performance. It was not Adam and John just bringing

75
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:23,794
clips in with their opinion. It was like a dance.

76
00:04:24,775 --> 00:04:27,877
Imagine that, having the privilege to dance with John for

77
00:04:27,977 --> 00:04:31,379
six hours a week. We stepped on each other's toes

78
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:36,003
sometimes, but we always kept dancing until the band was

79
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:41,366
done playing. John may be a better broadcaster too. His

80
00:04:41,426 --> 00:04:45,229
timing was impeccable. He even compensated for network delay in

81
00:04:45,249 --> 00:04:47,370
the early days of Skype. And we got into a

82
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:49,451
rhythm where I would start the clip when his leading

83
00:04:49,512 --> 00:04:53,174
was done. It was smooth most of the time. Like

84
00:04:53,194 --> 00:04:55,716
thousands of others, he taught me how to question everything,

85
00:04:55,836 --> 00:05:00,279
even the absurd, which would often require a theremin. Above

86
00:05:00,339 --> 00:05:03,281
all, he made me a better man. I once tried

87
00:05:03,321 --> 00:05:04,682
to tell him how he was kind of like a

88
00:05:04,742 --> 00:05:07,143
father figure to me in many ways, which he immediately

89
00:05:07,243 --> 00:05:10,025
shunned and said, don't ever say that again. Okay, then

90
00:05:10,105 --> 00:05:14,348
maybe uncle, grandfather, brother, whatever it was, I am privileged

91
00:05:14,688 --> 00:05:16,249
to have had him in my life for the past

92
00:05:16,309 --> 00:05:20,392
two decades. Many people came to know no agenda during

93
00:05:20,452 --> 00:05:22,774
COVID, which we had quickly figured out to be some

94
00:05:23,014 --> 00:05:25,976
epic scam. As we worked through it with our humor,

95
00:05:26,276 --> 00:05:28,277
it gave a lot of people rest and a feeling

96
00:05:28,317 --> 00:05:30,739
that they were not alone. And while I know many

97
00:05:30,799 --> 00:05:34,521
of you came for the media deconstruction, pretty much everybody

98
00:05:34,601 --> 00:05:36,943
stayed for the stories and the wealth of history that

99
00:05:37,023 --> 00:05:40,906
John had and the jokes we would make together. After

100
00:05:41,026 --> 00:05:44,428
each show, the end of show, ISO would run. We'd

101
00:05:44,448 --> 00:05:46,569
probably say something like, hey, that was a good show.

102
00:05:47,130 --> 00:05:50,932
And John would always say, yeah, solid B plus. I

103
00:05:50,992 --> 00:05:52,994
would look for the opening clips, which is always funny

104
00:05:53,074 --> 00:05:55,555
to do, listen to whatever nonsense John had spouted out.

105
00:05:56,016 --> 00:05:58,437
Then we'd select the art, which we argued about often,

106
00:05:58,517 --> 00:06:00,779
but that wasn't too bad. We'd check the credits together,

107
00:06:00,799 --> 00:06:03,661
and we'd come up with a title. And he didn't

108
00:06:03,681 --> 00:06:06,022
have to, but John always stayed there for my final

109
00:06:06,102 --> 00:06:09,064
post-production, uploading to the servers, getting the show notes in

110
00:06:09,164 --> 00:06:12,206
order. So at 20, 25 minutes, he's just basically waiting,

111
00:06:12,266 --> 00:06:15,068
only hearing me clacking on the keyboard. When everything was

112
00:06:15,188 --> 00:06:16,930
up and good to go, we always said the same

113
00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:22,093
thing. Okay. Talk to you Thursday. Adios. And that's exactly

114
00:06:22,153 --> 00:06:26,016
how last Sunday ended. Here's the good part for me.

115
00:06:26,896 --> 00:06:29,978
Oftentimes when someone is removed from life, you think of

116
00:06:29,978 --> 00:06:32,200
the things you could have said to that person, the

117
00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:34,881
things you wanted to say to that person. I am

118
00:06:34,982 --> 00:06:37,303
so fortunate because not only did I get to say

119
00:06:37,363 --> 00:06:40,125
it, I did. And he said everything he wanted and

120
00:06:40,165 --> 00:06:42,306
needed to say to me as well. It was all

121
00:06:42,446 --> 00:06:45,809
on the show. Never behind the scenes. What you heard

122
00:06:45,889 --> 00:06:49,791
was the real deal. We both loved how No Agenda

123
00:06:49,871 --> 00:06:54,114
Nation grew. The community, the lingo, the different websites, the

124
00:06:54,174 --> 00:06:58,157
numerology, the inside jokes, the code words, the small family

125
00:06:58,257 --> 00:07:00,799
businesses that supported the show with their funny notes and

126
00:07:00,819 --> 00:07:04,441
their crazy promo codes. The meetups, oh man, the meetups.

127
00:07:04,501 --> 00:07:07,323
We loved this so much because it showed us that

128
00:07:07,343 --> 00:07:11,346
the show was bigger than just Adam and John. John

129
00:07:11,406 --> 00:07:13,467
took care of the business side of things, backed by

130
00:07:13,527 --> 00:07:18,190
his wonderful family, Mimi, Jay, Eric, JC. Everyone contributed. The

131
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:21,172
newsletter, which we have often told other podcasters, is probably

132
00:07:21,172 --> 00:07:23,994
the most important business part of the show because we

133
00:07:24,094 --> 00:07:27,696
depend on your support. And whenever John said donations are

134
00:07:27,737 --> 00:07:30,118
low or threw a sad puppy, it was never a

135
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:32,800
lie. It was always the honest truth. And he was

136
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,261
never ashamed to tell you and ask you to help

137
00:07:35,341 --> 00:07:39,784
for us. And you did. These past few days have

138
00:07:39,824 --> 00:07:43,067
been quite overwhelming. The social media posts, the thousands of

139
00:07:43,127 --> 00:07:46,849
emails, stories, and yes, many prayers. And not just people

140
00:07:46,909 --> 00:07:51,272
saying thoughts and prayers, real prayer. reading through as many

141
00:07:51,312 --> 00:07:54,054
as I could, replying to as many as I possibly

142
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:57,056
could. I kept seeing one theme. People would never say,

143
00:07:57,136 --> 00:07:59,838
hey, remember when you deconstructed that story or you poked

144
00:07:59,838 --> 00:08:02,800
through that narrative? No. It was always about the humor

145
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,782
and the stories. I was blown away when just a

146
00:08:05,802 --> 00:08:08,223
few shows ago I learned about yet another job that

147
00:08:08,283 --> 00:08:10,925
John had had in the past. He was a never-ending,

148
00:08:11,405 --> 00:08:16,469
deep well of beautiful, hilarious, and informative life stories. But

149
00:08:16,489 --> 00:08:19,431
there's more in these messages from our producers. There's a

150
00:08:19,471 --> 00:08:22,853
feeling of community, a sense of family, coming together with

151
00:08:22,873 --> 00:08:25,675
love for each other. Ask yourself, did you even think

152
00:08:25,775 --> 00:08:28,177
about the war in Iran during these past 24 hours?

153
00:08:28,257 --> 00:08:30,958
I sure haven't. It wasn't that kind of the point

154
00:08:31,018 --> 00:08:33,320
of what John brought us, a way to look at

155
00:08:33,340 --> 00:08:37,303
things from a different perspective, a somewhat laissez-faire attitude because

156
00:08:37,363 --> 00:08:39,204
it made you feel that he had seen it all

157
00:08:39,244 --> 00:08:42,026
before and nothing was new under the sun. And he's

158
00:08:42,146 --> 00:08:45,668
right. It's clear that no agenda will never be the

159
00:08:45,728 --> 00:08:49,891
same without John. This family, this community that we built

160
00:08:49,931 --> 00:08:52,353
with him is too big and too vast to end.

161
00:08:53,473 --> 00:08:55,455
And while I'm not exactly sure how we will move

162
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,917
forward from here without him, today and on Sunday's show,

163
00:08:59,097 --> 00:09:01,759
just like any family, we will honor the man who

164
00:09:01,819 --> 00:09:05,161
we loved, who we cherished, who we laugh with, and

165
00:09:05,221 --> 00:09:08,803
all valued as being part of our lives. My only

166
00:09:08,904 --> 00:09:11,725
prayer now for today is that John is in heaven

167
00:09:11,866 --> 00:09:16,008
saying, Crap, Adam was right. See you on the other

168
00:09:16,068 --> 00:09:33,980
side, John. Love you. Mean it. Singing undue songs This

chain move It's never gonna be Gonna miss you ♪

170
00:10:32,999 --> 00:11:01,618
Tell me ♪ And on today's episode, we have a

171
00:11:01,698 --> 00:11:05,621
lot of John's friends and family. We also have a

172
00:11:05,721 --> 00:11:09,764
lot of donation notes, which you will be reading. I'd

173
00:11:09,804 --> 00:11:12,606
like to say first in the morning to Mimi, who

174
00:11:12,766 --> 00:11:17,289
is standing by right now. Mimi? I'm right here. You

175
00:11:17,609 --> 00:11:22,472
just destroyed me with your beautiful words. It destroyed my

176
00:11:22,512 --> 00:11:27,436
whole system. John's up there going, Curry, can't you get

177
00:11:27,536 --> 00:11:29,857
anything right? Can't you get that stuff to fire off

178
00:11:29,917 --> 00:11:33,500
right? No, he's screwing with stuff. I'm sure of it.

179
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:38,283
Yes. So the first thing I just want to say

180
00:11:38,363 --> 00:11:42,245
is that one of the most polarizing things... of the

181
00:11:42,305 --> 00:11:46,388
announcement of John's passing. is a secret that I've had

182
00:11:46,448 --> 00:11:50,571
to keep for almost 20 years. And I would like

183
00:11:50,611 --> 00:11:53,193
you to explain it to everybody because, you know, I

184
00:11:53,293 --> 00:11:56,255
got people saying, Wikipedia is fake news. What's going on?

185
00:11:56,335 --> 00:12:01,598
They were like very, very disturbed by this. Well, John,

186
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:05,481
when he was starting to feel his age 20 years

187
00:12:05,541 --> 00:12:10,064
ago, 30 years ago, it had to be 30 years

188
00:12:10,144 --> 00:12:13,706
ago, he decided he was doing some interview for some,

189
00:12:14,247 --> 00:12:16,748
maybe it was Wired, maybe it was something else. And

190
00:12:16,788 --> 00:12:18,529
they said, oh, how old are you? And he goes,

191
00:12:18,669 --> 00:12:22,032
well, I was born in. And he told me he

192
00:12:22,072 --> 00:12:24,013
was, you know, so he came up with a date.

193
00:12:24,533 --> 00:12:27,575
Except when he first told me this, he was going

194
00:12:27,575 --> 00:12:29,397
to be two years younger than me and I had

195
00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:35,741
a fit. to be younger than me so he changed

196
00:12:35,861 --> 00:12:40,944
it to what in 52 and uh So he told

197
00:12:41,304 --> 00:12:46,088
this, you know, this interviewer that year. And then something

198
00:12:46,168 --> 00:12:47,949
happened and he was in the New York Times, I'd

199
00:12:48,009 --> 00:12:50,030
say about six months later. And the New York Times

200
00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:53,432
didn't fact check and just picked up that day. Exactly.

201
00:12:53,473 --> 00:12:57,715
And we went. The New York Times says it. Who

202
00:12:57,775 --> 00:12:59,617
are we to argue with the New York Times who

203
00:12:59,817 --> 00:13:04,020
always checks facts? I don't know how I found out.

204
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:06,441
But he said, no, no, no, you got to keep

205
00:13:06,461 --> 00:13:08,763
that a secret. And he literally would tell me, if

206
00:13:08,903 --> 00:13:11,284
I die before you, you have to tell everybody the

207
00:13:11,284 --> 00:13:14,066
New York Times sucks. They don't fact check. And they

208
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:18,089
were wrong. And so every year when his birthday would

209
00:13:18,109 --> 00:13:21,631
come around, and we did a special birthday number donation

210
00:13:21,691 --> 00:13:25,114
for both of us, I would always say, hey, man,

211
00:13:25,254 --> 00:13:27,675
if only you weren't lying, we'd make more money out

212
00:13:27,755 --> 00:13:34,400
of this. It was our running joke. It got really

213
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,422
awkward. I mean, there was that thing where I actually

214
00:13:37,482 --> 00:13:40,404
mentioned... When I was doing the show, that it was...

215
00:13:42,185 --> 00:13:43,946
You know, his high school, and I said, oh, we've

216
00:13:43,946 --> 00:13:45,967
got to take that out because someone can look up

217
00:13:46,007 --> 00:13:51,251
the yearbook and see. We guarded it carefully. Oh, I

218
00:13:51,531 --> 00:13:54,133
remember that. Yeah. Oh, no, the yearbook. Got to get

219
00:13:54,173 --> 00:13:56,634
rid of that. I can't have that published anywhere. It

220
00:13:56,695 --> 00:13:59,356
was one of the oddest things. It was just so,

221
00:13:59,656 --> 00:14:02,759
so strange. Well, the other things that the New York

222
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:06,281
Times picked up is that he was born in L.A.

223
00:14:06,421 --> 00:14:08,522
because he thought that was funnier because he was actually

224
00:14:08,542 --> 00:14:15,447
born in Fresno. Love that. We can hear a couple

225
00:14:15,527 --> 00:14:19,410
people laughing on the clean feed, and we have a

226
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:22,612
number of John's friends with us. I'm just going to

227
00:14:22,672 --> 00:14:26,995
kind of go around the horn and see what people

228
00:14:27,015 --> 00:14:28,976
have to say. I'd like to bring in Will Hurst,

229
00:14:29,937 --> 00:14:34,139
who has often been discussed on the show, usually in

230
00:14:34,179 --> 00:14:37,141
the form of, well, I was with my friend Hurst,

231
00:14:37,221 --> 00:14:39,683
and we were on his yacht. There was always something

232
00:14:39,803 --> 00:14:43,225
going on. Oink! He was the best man at our

233
00:14:43,285 --> 00:14:47,208
wedding. Yes. We'll in the morning to you. Hi, good

234
00:14:47,228 --> 00:14:52,171
morning, Adam. Good to see you. Hi, Mimi. So I

235
00:14:52,251 --> 00:14:54,513
didn't know that you were best man at their wedding.

236
00:14:54,893 --> 00:14:57,195
And I, I knew that you hung out with John

237
00:14:57,255 --> 00:14:59,236
a lot. I actually don't think I knew that the

238
00:14:59,316 --> 00:14:59,956
friendship was.

239
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,582
was that deep and so tight. Well, I think we

240
00:15:03,722 --> 00:15:07,384
met, I came out to work on the newspaper in

241
00:15:07,384 --> 00:15:13,809
the 1970s and by the mid-1980s, I was in a

242
00:15:13,849 --> 00:15:17,411
more senior position there and I was looking to hire

243
00:15:17,511 --> 00:15:20,313
somebody to write about technology and I forget how John

244
00:15:20,373 --> 00:15:23,535
and I met. But he didn't want to do that,

245
00:15:23,676 --> 00:15:27,098
but he did introduce me to John Markoff, who was

246
00:15:27,138 --> 00:15:31,561
a writer for Byte Magazine. And Markoff became our technology

247
00:15:31,621 --> 00:15:34,023
writer, and then he left us to go to work

248
00:15:34,083 --> 00:15:35,524
for the New York Times, and he became the lead

249
00:15:35,604 --> 00:15:38,405
technology writer there. So John had a very good eye

250
00:15:38,526 --> 00:15:43,509
for talent. And I remember going to his house over

251
00:15:43,569 --> 00:15:46,611
in Albany, and there was a whole bunch of computer

252
00:15:46,651 --> 00:15:49,093
stuff all over the place, kind of like a warehouse.

253
00:15:50,494 --> 00:15:52,775
I'm not making a critical comment because my house is

254
00:15:52,855 --> 00:15:56,738
like that too. But John had people sending him stuff

255
00:15:56,818 --> 00:15:59,480
all the time because they wanted him to review the

256
00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:02,442
technology and write it up. He was kind of like

257
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,824
a combination of Herb Cain and Walt Mossberg and Kara

258
00:16:05,864 --> 00:16:08,005
Swisher all in one. If John thought you had an

259
00:16:08,046 --> 00:16:10,707
interesting product, the sales took off. And if you thought

260
00:16:10,727 --> 00:16:12,408
it was a dud, you might as well forget about

261
00:16:12,489 --> 00:16:15,651
it. And he could be very snarky. I remember there

262
00:16:16,031 --> 00:16:17,952
was a guy that had... Wait, wait, wait. Snarky? Are

263
00:16:17,992 --> 00:16:23,836
you kidding me? Dvorak? Snarky? What? Well, he was straight...

264
00:16:24,076 --> 00:16:26,438
You know, he was honest and blunt and did not

265
00:16:27,219 --> 00:16:29,360
worry too much about your feelings if he thought the

266
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,682
product was no good. I remember there was a guy

267
00:16:31,762 --> 00:16:33,303
that had a board that you could put in a

268
00:16:33,403 --> 00:16:37,225
PC. And this was pretty early days, so this... He

269
00:16:37,305 --> 00:16:39,587
used to have a separate board for a parallel interface

270
00:16:39,667 --> 00:16:41,968
and a serial interface and a sound card and a

271
00:16:42,028 --> 00:16:45,851
memory card. super card that had all the interfaces on

272
00:16:45,891 --> 00:16:49,113
it and everything and you could tell John wasn't terribly

273
00:16:49,193 --> 00:16:51,115
impressed and John said, well what are you going to

274
00:16:51,195 --> 00:16:53,516
name this product? And the guy said, well I think

275
00:16:53,516 --> 00:16:55,878
I was going to call it the Blue Whale. And

276
00:16:55,918 --> 00:16:58,059
John said, I think you should call it the White

277
00:16:58,159 --> 00:17:05,604
Elephant because it's never going to sell. you And I

278
00:17:05,644 --> 00:17:07,906
remember he told me when we were talking about all

279
00:17:07,926 --> 00:17:10,328
this stuff in his house, he said, well, I'm going

280
00:17:10,328 --> 00:17:12,689
to write about something called the agony of owning junk.

281
00:17:12,829 --> 00:17:14,310
And I said, what does that mean? He said, well,

282
00:17:14,350 --> 00:17:16,472
you just can't get rid of stuff because you think

283
00:17:16,512 --> 00:17:18,833
you might use it or maybe somebody gave it to

284
00:17:18,873 --> 00:17:20,975
you that you still haven't gotten around to it. And

285
00:17:20,995 --> 00:17:22,956
when I look at my own house, I think of

286
00:17:23,016 --> 00:17:26,098
John every time and his phrase, the agony of owning

287
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:27,799
junk, because that's what happens to you when you get

288
00:17:27,940 --> 00:17:31,002
to be our age. That is so good. And I

289
00:17:31,102 --> 00:17:35,144
have a closet from hell as well. I've only been

290
00:17:35,244 --> 00:17:38,727
to John's house once. I was only invited once was

291
00:17:38,787 --> 00:17:42,129
for Thanksgiving dinner. And I remember saying, Hey man, can

292
00:17:42,189 --> 00:17:45,411
I see your studio? No. What do you mean? I

293
00:17:45,491 --> 00:17:49,494
can't, I can't. No, no. I have never seen his

294
00:17:49,554 --> 00:17:53,457
studio ever. And Mimi, you're sitting in it right now.

295
00:17:53,497 --> 00:17:56,999
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You don't want to see this.

296
00:17:57,059 --> 00:18:01,042
It'll, it'll. Scar you for life. You will never see

297
00:18:01,142 --> 00:18:05,845
it. Hey, JC, how you doing? Good morning to you.

298
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:11,349
It might be surprising, but not great. Wow. Chip off

299
00:18:11,389 --> 00:18:16,172
the old block. Yes, yes, I hear you. Wow. I

300
00:18:16,272 --> 00:18:20,095
want to bring in Dana Brunetti as well, who is

301
00:18:20,615 --> 00:18:23,857
a mere associate executive producer of the No Agenda show.

302
00:18:24,018 --> 00:18:29,561
We pester him about this endlessly. But of course, we

303
00:18:29,641 --> 00:18:33,844
love having Dana in the No Agenda nation. And he

304
00:18:33,944 --> 00:18:39,888
and John became vast friends. associate producer. For calling you

305
00:18:39,908 --> 00:18:43,130
an associate? Yeah, he would. Dana, can you just check

306
00:18:43,191 --> 00:18:47,473
and make sure you're on your... I had to jump

307
00:18:47,553 --> 00:18:51,816
over to the phone because the mic died, so I'm

308
00:18:51,936 --> 00:18:53,938
letting it charge. No problem. I'll try it again in

309
00:18:53,938 --> 00:18:55,259
a little bit if you want to come back to

310
00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:56,439
me. No, no, no, it's fine. I got you good,

311
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:58,921
man. I got you good. So how did you meet

312
00:18:59,041 --> 00:19:00,782
John? I mean, how did you hear about the show

313
00:19:00,983 --> 00:19:06,246
even? So it started during COVID when I was starting

314
00:19:06,266 --> 00:19:08,868
to build my ranch and move from L.A. to get

315
00:19:08,888 --> 00:19:11,890
the hell out of there. And I'd known John from

316
00:19:12,290 --> 00:19:15,652
Tech TV and CNET and all of his writing in

317
00:19:15,712 --> 00:19:19,695
the past and Cranky Geeks. And as I was constantly

318
00:19:19,715 --> 00:19:22,477
going around listening to podcasts and running out of things

319
00:19:22,557 --> 00:19:24,699
to listen to or things that were just super woke

320
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:28,001
at the time that were just driving me insane, I

321
00:19:28,861 --> 00:19:31,123
decided to check to see if Cranky Geeks was still

322
00:19:31,223 --> 00:19:34,485
around. was planning on listening to over at Riding on

323
00:19:34,525 --> 00:19:37,867
the Tractor or whatever and couldn't find it. And so

324
00:19:37,948 --> 00:19:41,050
I started searching on John C. Dvorak and No Agenda

325
00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:43,691
came up and I was like, Adam Curry and John

326
00:19:43,771 --> 00:19:45,853
Dvorak, that can't be the same one. Adam Curry is

327
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:49,956
from MTV. This is, what is this? And I put

328
00:19:50,036 --> 00:19:53,198
it on and I was like, oh, holy crap. These

329
00:19:53,258 --> 00:19:58,161
guys are not woke at all, which was completely opposite

330
00:19:58,241 --> 00:20:01,143
of what I thought from just knowing him from Twit

331
00:20:01,383 --> 00:20:04,926
and Leo Lepore. And I was like, it was so

332
00:20:05,086 --> 00:20:08,108
refreshing. I just got addicted to the show and started

333
00:20:08,128 --> 00:20:10,389
listening to it. And then I finally donated and wrote

334
00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:15,513
in. He sent me a note shortly after that, and

335
00:20:15,573 --> 00:20:18,735
we just started conversing back and forth, and he had

336
00:20:19,215 --> 00:20:25,280
just such a witty sense of humor. Are you still

337
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,683
there? Uh-oh, he fell off the tractor. Yeah. I don't

338
00:20:30,703 --> 00:20:33,205
know what happened. Oh, no, Dana, get back on the

339
00:20:33,205 --> 00:20:36,767
tractor. Let's bring in Marty for a second. Now, Marty,

340
00:20:36,968 --> 00:20:41,310
I don't think I've ever even spoken to Marty. Right.

341
00:20:41,851 --> 00:20:44,413
Marty was one of my friends that John took over.

342
00:20:44,433 --> 00:20:46,974
I knew him from the comedy days in the city.

343
00:20:47,675 --> 00:20:49,736
And the second they met, they were just thick as

344
00:20:49,856 --> 00:20:54,800
thieves. And I hardly got a word in edgewise. Marty,

345
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:59,283
welcome to this special episode. I only knew you as

346
00:21:00,083 --> 00:21:03,205
John's joke writer, which I always, I'd always like, oh,

347
00:21:03,325 --> 00:21:06,347
what? Did Marty give you that gag? Oh, man, back

348
00:21:06,407 --> 00:21:12,311
to the drawing board. It's a pleasure to be with

349
00:21:12,391 --> 00:21:15,113
all of you folks right now. John's been on my

350
00:21:15,213 --> 00:21:17,755
mind for the last couple of days here. Last night

351
00:21:17,775 --> 00:21:21,337
was rough. A lot of memories, a lot of videos

352
00:21:21,678 --> 00:21:25,320
that we've got here and audio tapes and things that

353
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,384
we created together. John had a personality that just tickled

354
00:21:31,444 --> 00:21:35,167
me because he would take a wild idea and figure

355
00:21:35,227 --> 00:21:38,389
out how we could do it. And he was forever

356
00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:43,352
inserting me into positions where I could be. I could

357
00:21:43,392 --> 00:21:47,015
be very wealthy and I'd screw it up because I'd

358
00:21:47,255 --> 00:21:49,957
have fun doing it. And I think I told them

359
00:21:50,077 --> 00:21:53,619
five times I could have been, you know, somebody big.

360
00:21:54,380 --> 00:21:57,122
And it wasn't in me, you know. I did the

361
00:21:57,202 --> 00:22:01,685
pilot show for CNET and coordinated with John and got

362
00:22:01,785 --> 00:22:04,627
Leo and the other people around the table and cut

363
00:22:04,647 --> 00:22:08,169
that video and then had a falling out with Halsey

364
00:22:08,249 --> 00:22:10,711
Minor, who was the... That wasn't hard to do. No,

365
00:22:10,711 --> 00:22:17,456
it wasn't. It wasn't. And in fact, I... We had

366
00:22:17,476 --> 00:22:20,938
lunch down south the market. He goes, we're thinking maybe

367
00:22:20,998 --> 00:22:23,540
we'll have the main show right here in the Castro.

368
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,142
And I said, well, that'll definitely send a message. And

369
00:22:27,182 --> 00:22:28,823
he cocked his eye and I knew I was done.

370
00:22:30,724 --> 00:22:34,967
That was it. And John appreciated that. And at the

371
00:22:35,027 --> 00:22:40,731
same time, he goes, I went to their house where

372
00:22:40,771 --> 00:22:43,193
they were living out there in Pacific Heights, I believe.

373
00:22:46,915 --> 00:22:49,257
The only problem with the place is they didn't have

374
00:22:49,457 --> 00:22:56,782
enough statues of themselves. Such a delicious way of putting

375
00:22:56,902 --> 00:23:02,086
it. John had an incredible sense of humor, a great

376
00:23:02,186 --> 00:23:06,229
sense of timing. I went through all kinds of changes,

377
00:23:06,529 --> 00:23:11,112
directed theater, had a film company, made kid films, worked

378
00:23:11,172 --> 00:23:13,594
at an ad agency, went up to Microsoft, and I

379
00:23:13,653 --> 00:23:17,376
used to steal everything from the development teams and send

380
00:23:17,456 --> 00:23:20,658
it down to John so he could get a first

381
00:23:20,698 --> 00:23:26,482
look at it. okay with John because when we talk,

382
00:23:26,942 --> 00:23:31,346
we talk about Oswald Spengler, we talk about modern art,

383
00:23:31,826 --> 00:23:35,268
talk about where music is going, what the hell's wrong

384
00:23:35,348 --> 00:23:39,491
with Vegas, and some of the best things I ever

385
00:23:39,651 --> 00:23:45,155
created or wrote were things that I batted back and

386
00:23:45,255 --> 00:23:50,378
forth with John. He had a remarkable talent. In that

387
00:23:50,438 --> 00:23:52,440
way, he was a polymath. He knew a little bit

388
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:55,642
about everything, and he was an expert it just by

389
00:23:55,702 --> 00:23:58,924
knowing a little about it. I used to say he's

390
00:23:59,084 --> 00:24:03,527
grumpy, but he's like my uncle. He's avuncular. So maybe

391
00:24:03,527 --> 00:24:08,871
he's grumpyvuncular. I think everybody had that vibe with John.

392
00:24:09,131 --> 00:24:14,415
Hey, Mimi, I hate to do this, Mimi, but... Well,

393
00:24:14,535 --> 00:24:19,638
I'm used to do it. I need earphones. Yes, I

394
00:24:19,758 --> 00:24:23,501
appreciate earphones. One of the one things we never agreed

395
00:24:23,561 --> 00:24:26,103
upon was please. I know. So if you can turn

396
00:24:26,123 --> 00:24:27,704
them down just a little bit, that would be great.

397
00:24:29,305 --> 00:24:33,047
We're trying. We're trying. Dana, are you back on? Am

398
00:24:33,187 --> 00:24:35,149
I here? I don't know. Oh, yeah, you're coming in

399
00:24:35,229 --> 00:24:39,311
five by five. Okay, this clean feed on the iPhone

400
00:24:39,412 --> 00:24:41,673
as I keep hitting on my ear. If John was

401
00:24:41,793 --> 00:24:43,755
using this, he'd be complaining about it up and down.

402
00:24:43,835 --> 00:24:47,237
It's got to be the interface is a little wonky.

403
00:24:47,577 --> 00:24:50,919
Now, from what I understand is, I mean, you and

404
00:24:50,979 --> 00:24:53,641
John would talk, you and your wife, Alex, and John,

405
00:24:53,681 --> 00:24:58,084
and probably Mimi as well, would talk regularly. Yeah, well,

406
00:24:58,525 --> 00:25:00,746
I mean, every day I'd wake up. It would either

407
00:25:00,806 --> 00:25:04,849
be a text message or a Twitter message or X

408
00:25:05,009 --> 00:25:09,332
message or Instagram. Not much Instagram. But he would either

409
00:25:09,352 --> 00:25:12,594
send me something on Twitter, a text, or email. Usually

410
00:25:12,614 --> 00:25:16,457
email. And then if I tried to text back, it

411
00:25:16,497 --> 00:25:19,138
would never work because he wouldn't get it for some

412
00:25:19,198 --> 00:25:22,881
reason. His phone was in the drawer. Of course he

413
00:25:22,881 --> 00:25:27,784
wouldn't get your text. Transmit all of it. We spoke

414
00:25:27,964 --> 00:25:31,727
like probably minimum once a week, probably two, three times

415
00:25:31,727 --> 00:25:35,349
a week sometimes on the busier times. But he would,

416
00:25:35,470 --> 00:25:37,631
and he would always, I realized he was like a

417
00:25:37,711 --> 00:25:39,993
night owl. He was never up in the mornings whenever

418
00:25:40,053 --> 00:25:42,474
I tried to call him, but always late at night.

419
00:25:42,534 --> 00:25:44,375
And usually I'd be in bed and the phone would

420
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:46,437
ring and it would say John C. Dvorak and I'd

421
00:25:46,497 --> 00:25:48,518
say to Alex, it's John. And she would always say,

422
00:25:48,718 --> 00:25:51,841
answer it. Because she was always mesmerized about what he

423
00:25:51,861 --> 00:25:56,324
had to say. And he was. Alex always said he

424
00:25:56,364 --> 00:25:58,385
would be her phone-a-friend if she was ever on Who

425
00:25:58,445 --> 00:26:02,148
Wants to Be a Millionaire? Because he knew everything and

426
00:26:02,208 --> 00:26:06,070
had a story about everything. And we would always, whenever

427
00:26:06,250 --> 00:26:09,492
her and I would get into disagreements or arguments, we'd

428
00:26:09,512 --> 00:26:11,834
be like, let's call John. Rather than Google it or

429
00:26:12,094 --> 00:26:14,616
whatever, he was our ass jeeps. It's let's call John.

430
00:26:15,457 --> 00:26:17,278
And so we'd call John, and no matter what he

431
00:26:17,318 --> 00:26:19,379
was doing, he would stop if he answered the phone.

432
00:26:19,399 --> 00:26:21,040
And he pretty much always answered the phone. It was

433
00:26:21,060 --> 00:26:23,982
always, hello. And just straight to it, it rang like

434
00:26:24,182 --> 00:26:28,085
once. And sometimes it didn't even ring. And I'm like,

435
00:26:28,105 --> 00:26:29,566
how did you even know? It was like a quarter

436
00:26:29,606 --> 00:26:32,128
of a ring. And he was like, oh, I don't

437
00:26:32,148 --> 00:26:34,850
know. And he was always on a cordless phone that

438
00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:38,332
had horrible static that he always denied and would say,

439
00:26:38,352 --> 00:26:39,913
I don't know, it sounds fine on my end. I'm

440
00:26:39,953 --> 00:26:41,614
like, I'm going to record this so you can hear

441
00:26:41,634 --> 00:26:44,296
what I'm talking about. Welcome to my life. He always

442
00:26:44,316 --> 00:26:46,518
said, I didn't change anything. I didn't do anything. I

443
00:26:46,898 --> 00:26:50,500
have nothing to do with it. But yeah, so it

444
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,463
was, I mean, we spoke constantly and then we started

445
00:26:54,483 --> 00:26:56,965
having some very expensive dinners that I paid for, of

446
00:26:57,025 --> 00:27:00,807
course. Absolutely. Whenever I was in the Bay Area and

447
00:27:00,967 --> 00:27:02,548
usually when I was there for a horse show with

448
00:27:02,688 --> 00:27:05,130
Alex or just happened to be in the area, I'd

449
00:27:05,150 --> 00:27:06,951
always stop by. And then I remember on a show

450
00:27:07,071 --> 00:27:09,793
one time, I think you asked him, said, how do

451
00:27:09,813 --> 00:27:12,215
you consider a friend? And he's like, somebody you've had

452
00:27:12,235 --> 00:27:16,618
dinner with and dinner at their house. Yeah. And I

453
00:27:16,718 --> 00:27:18,619
remember telling him, I go, hey, I thought we were

454
00:27:18,659 --> 00:27:20,340
friends. He's like, we are friends. What do you mean?

455
00:27:20,380 --> 00:27:23,322
I'm like, I've never had dinner at your house. He's

456
00:27:23,342 --> 00:27:28,006
like, well, then come over. And eventually I went over

457
00:27:28,046 --> 00:27:31,308
with Alex and we had dinner with Brennan and Jay

458
00:27:32,128 --> 00:27:34,290
at his house. And the same thing happened to me.

459
00:27:34,330 --> 00:27:35,631
I'm like, all right, at the end of the dinner,

460
00:27:35,651 --> 00:27:37,452
things are winding down. I'm like, all right, can I

461
00:27:37,512 --> 00:27:42,335
see the studio? And he was like, no way. I'm

462
00:27:42,395 --> 00:27:44,957
like, I'm here, right here. It's just right. It's somewhere

463
00:27:44,977 --> 00:27:46,878
within feet from me. Can I see the studio? And

464
00:27:46,918 --> 00:27:50,020
he absolutely refused. I thought he was joking initially, but

465
00:27:50,061 --> 00:27:51,582
then I realized, no, he's not joking. He's not going

466
00:27:51,582 --> 00:27:54,724
to let me see the studio. Mimi, why was that?

467
00:27:54,984 --> 00:27:59,827
Why was that? Not allowed to see John's studio. Wait,

468
00:27:59,947 --> 00:28:02,229
before that, as a child, I couldn't see the studio.

469
00:28:02,409 --> 00:28:07,512
Jason, his own flesh and blood? Yeah, so up until

470
00:28:07,612 --> 00:28:10,795
I was like 10, it was like, oh, you can't

471
00:28:10,815 --> 00:28:13,777
come in here. The door was closed. Wow. And I

472
00:28:13,857 --> 00:28:16,198
tried, as a very young child, I tried all sorts

473
00:28:16,218 --> 00:28:19,280
of tactics, such as, oh, I can't sleep. And they

474
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:22,062
would be working at night, because he works at night.

475
00:28:23,023 --> 00:28:25,264
And so the door would be closed. I'd sit at

476
00:28:25,284 --> 00:28:28,667
the stairs and be like, hey, you know, I'm a...

477
00:28:29,347 --> 00:28:32,910
six-year-old who won't listen to anybody. And the door would

478
00:28:32,950 --> 00:28:34,871
open, and then I would go towards it, and then

479
00:28:34,931 --> 00:28:38,934
it stopped immediately. So the office was sort of like

480
00:28:39,314 --> 00:28:44,057
this sacred internal, the inner sanctum of a wizard. And

481
00:28:44,397 --> 00:28:47,239
yeah, the secrets are in there. You are definitely keeping

482
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:49,921
the myth and the legend alive, JC. I love that.

483
00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:53,704
I love that. Hey, Will, could you... If you have

484
00:28:53,744 --> 00:28:55,145
it in you, could you give me one of your

485
00:28:55,205 --> 00:29:02,429
favorite JCD stories? Oh, I do remember one time we

486
00:29:02,510 --> 00:29:07,013
had an editor at the paper who was... was kind

487
00:29:07,073 --> 00:29:13,117
of famous for maybe being Hold on, I lost you

488
00:29:13,177 --> 00:29:15,498
there, Will. There's a lot about technology and we don't

489
00:29:15,538 --> 00:29:19,041
really have a good... technology writer Markoff had left. We

490
00:29:19,081 --> 00:29:21,963
had some people that were good, but they weren't as

491
00:29:22,063 --> 00:29:25,285
good. And John said, okay, I'll go and talk to

492
00:29:25,305 --> 00:29:28,847
the guy. And I called him. I saw him the

493
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:33,290
next day at the newspaper, and I said... Oh, how

494
00:29:33,330 --> 00:29:35,072
did the meeting go? And he said, oh yeah, the

495
00:29:35,092 --> 00:29:38,834
meeting was... scheduled for 11 o'clock and he didn't show.

496
00:29:38,874 --> 00:29:41,336
And I said, oh, that's just, what do you think

497
00:29:41,396 --> 00:29:43,257
happened? He said, oh, you know, I know who the

498
00:29:43,317 --> 00:29:45,419
guy is. So he's probably still throwing up at 11.

499
00:29:46,399 --> 00:29:52,443
And so John was very nonplussed. He never did meet

500
00:29:52,463 --> 00:29:54,565
the editor I wanted him to meet. He never did

501
00:29:54,605 --> 00:29:57,607
get the job, and he didn't care. He could be

502
00:29:57,687 --> 00:29:59,448
quite a wit. So typical.

503
00:30:00,140 --> 00:30:03,502
Oh, my. Marty, you got one for us? Well, you

504
00:30:03,542 --> 00:30:07,384
know, I wanted to crack up John, and it was

505
00:30:07,464 --> 00:30:09,806
tough to do because a lot of times he'd just

506
00:30:09,906 --> 00:30:13,709
smirk and give me another variation of whatever wisecracker joke

507
00:30:13,789 --> 00:30:16,791
I was saying. But there was one time he had

508
00:30:16,811 --> 00:30:19,393
a problem with his water heater on the second floor,

509
00:30:19,433 --> 00:30:21,534
and he says, you got to take a look at

510
00:30:21,554 --> 00:30:23,215
it. It's leaking. I don't know what's wrong with it.

511
00:30:23,215 --> 00:30:25,036
I said, okay, hang on. I go up and I

512
00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:27,078
look, and there's a pan under it to catch the

513
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:31,221
water. The bottom was rusted out. I said, yeah, it's

514
00:30:31,321 --> 00:30:33,762
shot. You need a new water heater. And he goes,

515
00:30:33,942 --> 00:30:37,365
what would cause something like that? And I got real

516
00:30:37,445 --> 00:30:40,887
close to his ear and I whispered the plural of

517
00:30:40,967 --> 00:30:44,990
the N word. And he just started laughing his ass

518
00:30:45,130 --> 00:30:48,813
off. He couldn't believe I said that. But I caught

519
00:30:48,853 --> 00:30:51,474
him unaware just for a minute. Just for a minute.

520
00:30:51,755 --> 00:30:56,598
Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. No, please go ahead,

521
00:30:56,658 --> 00:30:59,280
Marty. Go ahead. No, you know what? We talk about

522
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,222
comedy and comedy in the 50s and the 60s. And

523
00:31:03,422 --> 00:31:06,244
he knew everyone. He knew all the routines and everything.

524
00:31:06,665 --> 00:31:09,667
And he had internalized a lot of it with the

525
00:31:10,327 --> 00:31:15,010
identity of the characters like Jackie Vernon and Bill Dana

526
00:31:15,070 --> 00:31:19,333
and all those early comics. And he knew their routines

527
00:31:19,513 --> 00:31:22,175
inside out. And what he'd do is he'd wait for

528
00:31:22,215 --> 00:31:25,637
you to say something. just pick the right punchline and

529
00:31:25,697 --> 00:31:27,579
throw it out and that's all he had to do

530
00:31:27,699 --> 00:31:30,681
he could tell jokes just by telling the punchlines he

531
00:31:30,741 --> 00:31:34,523
didn't need the setups he really did yeah he did

532
00:31:34,624 --> 00:31:39,787
it with joy yeah that really you know it's i

533
00:31:39,927 --> 00:31:44,230
love hearing these stories because yeah that john was very

534
00:31:44,410 --> 00:31:49,053
able to keep it uh within my lifetime of uh

535
00:31:49,353 --> 00:31:52,856
of knowledge of culture and entertainment and once in a

536
00:31:52,876 --> 00:31:55,217
while he out there and be like, what is that

537
00:31:55,298 --> 00:31:57,619
a reference to? What is that called? Oh, everybody knows

538
00:31:57,679 --> 00:32:00,121
that. I don't know, John. I'm not so sure about

539
00:32:00,141 --> 00:32:06,225
that one. Mimi. Yep. What's on your heart, girl? You

540
00:32:06,245 --> 00:32:08,506
know, I do have Jay next to me and Brendan

541
00:32:08,606 --> 00:32:11,348
as well. So you can always call on them and

542
00:32:11,368 --> 00:32:13,650
I'll share the mic. I would love for them to

543
00:32:13,730 --> 00:32:15,611
say whatever they want to say right now. That'd be

544
00:32:15,691 --> 00:32:18,133
fantastic. Yeah, I think that would be lovely. I'm going

545
00:32:18,133 --> 00:32:23,597
to swivel the mic to them. Oh, God. Hello, Jay.

546
00:32:24,197 --> 00:32:28,600
Hello. I met you when you were 15 years old.

547
00:32:29,661 --> 00:32:34,944
You were a very, I think. Timid. 15 year old

548
00:32:36,325 --> 00:32:40,148
Didn't say much. And I'm a timid 32-year-old. Yeah. Nothing's

549
00:32:40,148 --> 00:32:42,249
changed. Well, I don't know about that. But, I mean,

550
00:32:42,449 --> 00:32:45,812
you have been such an important part of the show

551
00:32:45,912 --> 00:32:48,694
in the past few years doing, I mean, really, you

552
00:32:48,834 --> 00:32:52,076
shaped us up to such a degree with the back

553
00:32:52,236 --> 00:32:54,958
office stuff. I know that you and Mimi have done

554
00:32:54,978 --> 00:32:57,840
a lot together. But, you know, doing all the rings,

555
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,203
doing the websites for the special promotions, it's just been

556
00:33:02,303 --> 00:33:04,905
so amazing. I'm so thankful for what you've done all

557
00:33:04,945 --> 00:33:09,728
these years. Peace. Well, thank you. It's been a pleasure.

558
00:33:09,748 --> 00:33:12,770
Sorry, I woke up at 5 a.m. to do the

559
00:33:12,830 --> 00:33:16,132
notes and the spreadsheet for the show and the amount

560
00:33:16,212 --> 00:33:21,856
of love and support that... we received was crazy and

561
00:33:21,896 --> 00:33:24,478
I was working up until 11. Yeah, I have a

562
00:33:24,518 --> 00:33:28,080
feeling. So it's all six hours of just tears and

563
00:33:28,501 --> 00:33:30,522
typing it up. Yeah, we'll be doing the show for

564
00:33:30,602 --> 00:33:32,783
a while today just to get through all of them.

565
00:33:32,824 --> 00:33:35,065
But we really want to make sure that everybody had

566
00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:37,126
a chance to say what they feel they want to

567
00:33:37,206 --> 00:33:41,389
say. Because as I said in my intro, we really

568
00:33:41,690 --> 00:33:44,912
are one big family. And I think people also see

569
00:33:45,032 --> 00:33:46,573
you as part of that. You know, I know that

570
00:33:46,593 --> 00:33:49,455
people email you and because they'll tell me like, talk

571
00:33:49,535 --> 00:33:51,956
to Jay. Everything's all cool. Everything's all safe. You must

572
00:33:52,017 --> 00:33:58,141
have ongoing correspondence with a lot of our... No agenda

573
00:33:58,201 --> 00:34:02,003
family. I do, yeah. I have back and forths with

574
00:34:02,003 --> 00:34:05,185
them all the time. They're all wonderful. Eli the coffee

575
00:34:05,245 --> 00:34:07,287
guy is really sweet. He sent a little care package

576
00:34:07,367 --> 00:34:10,989
to me and Brennan. Decaf coffee. Oh, yes. Since I

577
00:34:10,989 --> 00:34:16,553
have to live in caffeine. And, yeah, it's... And actually,

578
00:34:16,613 --> 00:34:20,196
Brennan, the deadbeat, is here. My husband, the deadbeat, is

579
00:34:20,276 --> 00:34:25,339
here. Hello, Brennan. I think I've already apologized profusely. I

580
00:34:25,459 --> 00:34:29,102
did think it was really cool when I... I was

581
00:34:29,202 --> 00:34:32,284
joking, of course, like, hey, how's your deadbeat son-in-law? And

582
00:34:32,424 --> 00:34:35,746
John, the next show, he's like, this is actionable. This

583
00:34:35,826 --> 00:34:38,028
is actionable. Actionable? Are you going to sue me over

584
00:34:38,048 --> 00:34:40,369
this? This is actionable. You have to do something about

585
00:34:40,409 --> 00:34:43,892
this. How are you doing, Brennan? I'm doing great, and

586
00:34:44,032 --> 00:34:48,575
I love the nickname Deadbeat. To get a nickname is

587
00:34:48,595 --> 00:34:51,297
a badge of honor. This is true. But you really

588
00:34:51,357 --> 00:34:53,418
had a great connection with John, because when he was

589
00:34:53,758 --> 00:34:58,221
staying at your house after the surgery, after the show,

590
00:34:58,862 --> 00:35:00,903
it was a very different dynamic, because you and Jay

591
00:35:00,983 --> 00:35:02,644
would come in, and I would hear him talking to

592
00:35:02,684 --> 00:35:05,406
you. I'm like, wow, he really loves this guy. You

593
00:35:05,486 --> 00:35:08,688
had a great relationship with him. I could tell. Oh,

594
00:35:08,748 --> 00:35:13,432
yeah. From the very start. When I first started C&J,

595
00:35:13,732 --> 00:35:17,234
you've got to meet him. He wants to have dinner

596
00:35:17,294 --> 00:35:22,077
with you. That's his litmus, right? And he sat me

597
00:35:22,157 --> 00:35:25,540
down, and the very first question he asked me was,

598
00:35:26,821 --> 00:35:33,045
how do you feel about Bordeaux? And then he poured

599
00:35:33,085 --> 00:35:37,388
half a bottle of cognac down my throat, basically. Yeah,

600
00:35:37,488 --> 00:35:38,809
I held you, I believe. - I held you back

601
00:35:38,889 --> 00:30:00,000
so you would open. - It's an interrogation technique. -

602
00:35:43,532 --> 00:35:47,355
Yeah, it's an interrogation technique. And he kept me interrogated

603
00:35:47,455 --> 00:35:50,236
for a long time. - I don't think we stopped

604
00:35:50,337 --> 00:35:52,978
actually. - No, never did. - And we did a

605
00:35:52,998 --> 00:35:55,920
background search on him. - Yes, I'm sure you did.

606
00:30:00,000 --> 00:35:57,982
- I came up mostly clean except for that weird

607
00:35:58,062 --> 00:36:04,786
stuff. He and I really, really got to bond quite

608
00:36:04,846 --> 00:36:08,129
a lot in the last 20 weeks, especially. But I

609
00:36:08,189 --> 00:36:11,511
mean, I had dinner with him every week. And, you

610
00:36:11,551 --> 00:36:15,814
know, I was his gopher. I was his driver. Let's

611
00:36:15,854 --> 00:36:20,277
explain. John insisted that we have family dinners every Friday.

612
00:36:20,337 --> 00:36:22,258
Well, first it was every Friday. Move a little closer,

613
00:36:22,278 --> 00:36:27,922
Mimi. Yeah, no, we're sharing a mic. Yeah, yeah. So

614
00:36:27,982 --> 00:36:30,424
we're putting our heads together like we're the, what do

615
00:36:30,444 --> 00:36:33,766
you call it? Three stooges, yes. There you go. So...

616
00:36:35,507 --> 00:36:38,029
John was big about family. So for as long as

617
00:36:38,109 --> 00:36:40,851
I've known him, it's always been, we had to have

618
00:36:41,611 --> 00:36:46,675
family, you know, sit down dinners. So, um, So anybody

619
00:36:46,755 --> 00:36:50,397
that unfortunately Jay dated or JC dated or even Eric

620
00:36:50,417 --> 00:36:54,440
dated would have to come and get the John Dvorak.

621
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,683
treatment. Yes. Or as Marty called it, the Dvorak syndrome.

622
00:37:02,525 --> 00:37:06,128
Thank you. And John would grill you, you know, and

623
00:37:06,208 --> 00:37:10,491
he'd mostly never talk. And then he'd get like a

624
00:37:10,531 --> 00:37:13,893
wild hair and just, you know, I think he needed

625
00:37:13,993 --> 00:37:16,715
at least two glasses of wine. And then he would

626
00:37:16,755 --> 00:37:21,078
really open up during dinner. And I got to drive

627
00:37:21,138 --> 00:37:24,560
him around everywhere for, you know, when you got a

628
00:37:25,001 --> 00:37:28,523
cracked sternum, they don't let you drive anything. Right. And

629
00:37:28,603 --> 00:37:30,684
I got to drive him around everywhere and talk to

630
00:37:30,744 --> 00:37:34,067
him and chat. The amount of times he told me

631
00:37:34,827 --> 00:37:37,309
that I should start a podcast so maybe that I'd

632
00:37:37,489 --> 00:37:45,695
shut up in the car. John was, you know, I

633
00:37:45,895 --> 00:37:48,456
love so much working with him because, as I said,

634
00:37:48,617 --> 00:37:51,318
nothing, in fact, when we ever scripted something, if we

635
00:37:51,398 --> 00:37:53,400
ever said, hey, you do this and I'll deliver the

636
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,763
punchline, guaranteed failure. It would always fail. I'd screw up

637
00:37:57,863 --> 00:38:00,525
the setup. He'd forget the punchline. Oh, we were doing

638
00:38:00,585 --> 00:38:03,186
that? Oh, yeah, no, I forgot about that. But when

639
00:38:03,246 --> 00:38:06,228
we were just on the fly doing stuff, and this

640
00:38:06,389 --> 00:38:09,551
as a broadcaster, I loved working with him so much

641
00:38:09,651 --> 00:38:12,373
because I could bring in sound effects. I could bring

642
00:38:12,453 --> 00:38:17,136
in, you know, we both enjoyed the art of the

643
00:38:17,196 --> 00:38:20,258
theater of the mind, which is why we also never

644
00:38:20,358 --> 00:38:22,640
did video. We said, no, no, no, we're not going

645
00:38:22,660 --> 00:38:25,061
to do any of this. We want people to, well,

646
00:38:25,081 --> 00:38:27,203
of course I did, but we want people to imagine

647
00:38:27,243 --> 00:38:29,985
what John's office is like. We want people to just,

648
00:38:30,385 --> 00:38:33,447
you know, have their mind's eye, to what's going on.

649
00:38:34,087 --> 00:38:35,929
And I just wanted to play, I have a couple,

650
00:38:35,989 --> 00:38:38,911
but one of my favorite bits, and I'm not even

651
00:38:39,011 --> 00:38:42,613
sure how it started, probably because people, you know, the

652
00:38:42,673 --> 00:38:46,216
number 33 was very important to the show because we

653
00:38:46,276 --> 00:38:49,458
didn't know what it meant. 33 would show up everywhere

654
00:38:49,498 --> 00:38:51,759
and be like, what is this? We, you know, had

655
00:38:51,899 --> 00:38:54,581
many people explain it to us over the years, but

656
00:38:54,641 --> 00:38:58,084
we always felt it was some operation, either Operation Go

657
00:38:58,424 --> 00:39:02,787
or Operation Stop, some kind of military or PSYOP. And

658
00:39:02,827 --> 00:39:04,888
then people started saying, hey, you know, there's this Club

659
00:39:04,968 --> 00:39:08,991
33 at Disneyland, which everyone is quite aware of. We

660
00:39:09,051 --> 00:39:12,333
knew that that wasn't quite the Club 33 that the

661
00:39:12,393 --> 00:39:16,436
No Agenda show would like. But John had an idea,

662
00:39:16,716 --> 00:39:20,099
and we came up with our very own Club 33.

663
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:24,481
Everybody give me a hand. You already did Amber. We

664
00:39:24,561 --> 00:39:30,385
need another. Raven. How do you know these things? Straight

665
00:39:30,485 --> 00:39:38,331
from Reseda. Here she is. Raven. Give it up. Next,

666
00:39:38,471 --> 00:39:44,895
Bambi. Bambi to the stage. Bambi to the stage. Wow.

667
00:39:45,496 --> 00:39:48,318
You do know it. Okay, I'll do Raven, and then

668
00:39:48,358 --> 00:39:57,003
we'll come back to you. Ravens, give it up! Very

669
00:39:57,003 --> 00:40:32,968
strong. All right, John, go. Thank you. lesbian act on

670
00:40:33,068 --> 00:40:36,610
stage two. Bring 'em up, bring 'em up. Joey and

671
00:40:36,650 --> 00:40:39,232
Donna, these two hotties can be seen at the club

672
00:40:39,412 --> 00:40:43,915
on Wednesday Mud Wrestling. Get a lap dance today and

673
00:40:44,015 --> 00:40:48,919
the girls will give you a voucher for free entrance.

674
00:40:52,541 --> 00:40:56,984
Is that it? Yeah. That is John C. Dvorak. He

675
00:40:57,044 --> 00:41:01,947
could do that off the cuff. He just threw that

676
00:41:02,047 --> 00:41:06,550
out there. But sometimes he would have punchlines and things

677
00:41:06,611 --> 00:41:10,413
that just became show staples, such as this one about

678
00:41:10,453 --> 00:41:14,096
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. And I have two

679
00:41:14,196 --> 00:41:18,619
clips. Oh. If you don't mind. What was your original

680
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,181
position? That the CIA or somebody came up to him

681
00:41:22,261 --> 00:41:27,965
and said, hey, look at this picture. Yeah. What's that

682
00:41:28,025 --> 00:41:31,828
in your mouth, you think? Oh, John, stop now. It's

683
00:41:31,888 --> 00:41:33,989
a family show. It's just a family show. It could

684
00:41:34,109 --> 00:41:39,613
be eating succotash. Succotash, sure. You take the hole deeper.

685
00:41:40,373 --> 00:41:45,077
I'm thinking. I'm thinking. I'm rethinking my – I'm completely

686
00:30:00,000 --> 00:41:49,199
– no. Wait. Is this a Johnson pivot? It's a

687
00:41:49,279 --> 00:41:52,982
John. I have done a John. Yes. He's got the

688
00:41:53,082 --> 00:41:55,103
right last name for what I was talking about. It

689
00:41:55,964 --> 00:41:57,865
was such a joy when he came up with these

690
00:41:57,925 --> 00:42:02,448
things. And then this is another one. So What's That

691
00:42:02,508 --> 00:42:04,650
in Your Mouth was a show title. It became a

692
00:42:04,730 --> 00:42:08,012
thing whenever a politician did something. Be like, hey, man,

693
00:42:08,072 --> 00:42:10,474
what's that in your mouth? We know why you're changing

694
00:42:10,494 --> 00:42:12,755
your vote. We know what you're doing. And then there

695
00:42:12,815 --> 00:42:16,178
was this one. Then, of course, we have a classic,

696
00:42:16,218 --> 00:42:18,339
a favorite, the pansexual. You know what that is, the

697
00:42:18,379 --> 00:42:22,182
pansexual. course yeah yeah you'll have sex with an animal

698
00:42:22,202 --> 00:42:26,345
anything anything now hey what are you gonna do anyone

699
00:42:26,364 --> 00:42:45,497
gonna eat this meatloaf *crying* That's the pansexual. I literally

700
00:42:45,557 --> 00:42:48,219
was on the floor. It was just, that was the

701
00:42:48,259 --> 00:42:51,281
kind of stuff that he did. But he was also...

702
00:42:52,102 --> 00:42:56,865
He loves giving advice. We talked a lot about young

703
00:42:56,945 --> 00:42:59,707
people, what should they do? The sock hop is legendary.

704
00:42:59,767 --> 00:43:02,289
Hey, you want to meet somebody? We'd rather bring sock

705
00:43:02,309 --> 00:43:09,894
hops back. And here he is with some career and

706
00:43:09,974 --> 00:43:12,976
management advice for young people, which I think is something

707
00:43:12,996 --> 00:43:15,778
we need to listen to again. Well, here's my piece

708
00:43:15,838 --> 00:43:18,300
of advice. All right. I've given this advice before. I'm

709
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:21,762
going to give it again. Most people that will supervise

710
00:43:21,802 --> 00:43:27,406
you throughout your careers full of crap. And that's the

711
00:43:27,446 --> 00:43:32,549
advice. The more you know. And they tend to, they

712
00:43:32,649 --> 00:43:35,691
can be played, and I don't like to say that

713
00:43:35,811 --> 00:43:37,893
you want to play people, but they can be played

714
00:43:37,953 --> 00:43:39,754
by just going along with whatever they have to say.

715
00:43:40,074 --> 00:43:43,136
Do not be argumentative. And I'll give two examples. I'll

716
00:43:43,157 --> 00:43:46,759
give one example, a good one. Well, actually, I'll give

717
00:43:46,859 --> 00:43:51,682
a number. I'll generalize. Somebody will say, hey, hey, I

718
00:43:51,742 --> 00:43:55,685
don't like the way you're doing this. and you're doing

719
00:43:55,705 --> 00:43:59,067
it whatever way you're doing it. And you, instead of

720
00:43:59,087 --> 00:44:00,728
saying, well, I'm doing it for this reason or that

721
00:44:00,828 --> 00:44:05,231
reason or whatever, you say... Oh, okay, what do you

722
00:44:05,271 --> 00:44:06,492
want me to do? What do you think I should

723
00:44:06,512 --> 00:44:10,275
do better? I'm all ears. Be very attentive. And then

724
00:44:10,295 --> 00:44:12,136
they'll tell you the way they want you to do

725
00:44:12,236 --> 00:44:15,598
something. And then just keep doing it the way you

726
00:44:15,638 --> 00:44:17,680
were doing it because it's the way you do things.

727
00:44:18,220 --> 00:44:22,543
Don't pay any attention to their advice. And within, I

728
00:44:22,603 --> 00:44:24,685
don't know, a few months, they come back to you

729
00:44:24,685 --> 00:44:26,506
and say, well, so how's that new way of doing

730
00:44:26,546 --> 00:44:30,449
things? And you say, it's great. You were right. And

731
00:44:30,529 --> 00:44:32,950
the guy will say, yep, I've noticed it. You've changed.

732
00:44:32,990 --> 00:44:36,793
You're much better than you were. And that happens all

733
00:44:36,953 --> 00:44:42,537
the time because everybody thinks they're so important. Interesting. That's

734
00:44:42,557 --> 00:44:44,558
not the kind of advice I give. I give different

735
00:44:44,578 --> 00:44:48,821
advice. Because I give the same advice. Is that the

736
00:44:48,861 --> 00:44:50,762
same advice you hand out to young people all the

737
00:44:50,802 --> 00:44:54,325
time? No, I have a lot of different advices. Oh.

738
00:44:54,605 --> 00:44:57,227
But that one particular piece of advice, which is these

739
00:44:57,287 --> 00:44:59,808
supervisors are full of crap. And just to go along

740
00:44:59,848 --> 00:44:59,989
with it.

741
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:06,564
program, don't argue. That's my... But keep doing things the

742
00:45:06,624 --> 00:45:09,066
way you're doing them. They're not going to notice. They

743
00:45:09,106 --> 00:45:11,527
don't know what they're talking about. I guess my advice

744
00:45:11,627 --> 00:45:14,910
is kind of dovetails into that where my advice is

745
00:45:14,970 --> 00:45:17,491
always the same. Find out what you really like doing.

746
00:45:17,771 --> 00:45:20,553
What you really like doing. Just something you like doing.

747
00:45:20,733 --> 00:45:22,935
You could be skateboarding for all I care. Find something

748
00:45:22,975 --> 00:45:25,477
you really, really... No, not like what you really love

749
00:45:25,557 --> 00:45:27,838
doing. And then find someone to pay you to do

750
00:45:27,958 --> 00:45:30,940
it. That's it. That's the secret to life. That's the

751
00:45:31,020 --> 00:45:33,582
ideal advice for everybody. But many times to get to

752
00:45:33,582 --> 00:45:36,084
that point. Bull crap. Anybody can do that. Anybody can

753
00:45:36,104 --> 00:45:37,585
do that. Yeah, anybody can do that. You have a

754
00:45:37,585 --> 00:45:38,706
place in life. But what if you get a job

755
00:45:38,806 --> 00:45:41,007
tomorrow and you have to go work at Taco Bell?

756
00:45:41,047 --> 00:45:43,489
What are you going to do? Screw you, Taco Bell?

757
00:45:44,810 --> 00:45:46,631
Well, that's part of the finding someone to pay you

758
00:45:46,651 --> 00:45:49,213
to do it part. Yeah, well, maybe you can do

759
00:45:49,273 --> 00:45:51,134
that from the taco back in the – try to

760
00:45:51,174 --> 00:45:53,596
get in the front counter. Hey, it's taken me 54

761
00:45:53,696 --> 00:45:59,760
years to finally be able to podcast. knock it and

762
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:04,783
that was so true i have my entire second half

763
00:46:04,883 --> 00:46:08,426
of life career to thank to this man um i

764
00:46:08,846 --> 00:46:12,589
the way we set up value for value uh the

765
00:46:12,649 --> 00:46:15,951
way we made it all work which a lot of

766
00:46:15,971 --> 00:46:18,573
that was him a lot of these ideas a lot

767
00:46:18,653 --> 00:46:21,375
of the hey we got to keep hammering people that

768
00:46:21,535 --> 00:46:25,077
otherwise it won't work i remember when we maybe it

769
00:46:25,097 --> 00:46:29,800
was around the second year I was in a hotel

770
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,181
room in New York and we were just doing the

771
00:46:31,201 --> 00:46:33,983
podcast and we're asking for value for value. And he

772
00:46:34,063 --> 00:46:37,786
called me and he said, Hey, Hey. We got 900

773
00:46:37,846 --> 00:46:40,327
bucks for this show. I'm like, wow, that's a lot.

774
00:46:40,768 --> 00:46:43,209
He said, this is gonna work. Quit your job. This

775
00:46:43,289 --> 00:46:45,911
is gonna work. We're gonna do this. And we did.

776
00:46:46,191 --> 00:46:49,614
And we just never looked back. And I'm so thankful,

777
00:46:49,974 --> 00:46:53,536
so thankful for him for giving me something to do

778
00:46:54,957 --> 00:46:59,560
as a patently unhirable person. So Adam, his job advice,

779
00:46:59,881 --> 00:47:01,602
he would give that to me and I listened to

780
00:47:01,702 --> 00:47:03,863
him. So he'd tell me to do things a certain

781
00:47:03,923 --> 00:47:09,387
way and I'd go, uh-huh. I just want to talk

782
00:47:09,467 --> 00:47:13,650
about wine for a second. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This

783
00:47:13,790 --> 00:47:17,893
is, you know, John introduced an entire generation to the

784
00:47:18,393 --> 00:47:24,217
Kirkland crate of six bottles of Bordeaux for about three

785
00:47:24,277 --> 00:47:27,980
bucks a piece. Everybody, you know, Costco was like, oh,

786
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:33,924
wow, man, these things are going fast. So let's start

787
00:47:34,424 --> 00:47:37,686
with Will. I'm sure you and John enjoyed a lot

788
00:47:37,766 --> 00:47:44,151
of... exquisite and different bottles of wine together. Oh, yeah.

789
00:47:44,771 --> 00:47:47,973
That was one of the things that we both helped

790
00:47:48,013 --> 00:47:51,936
each other with our addiction problem. But he introduced me

791
00:47:51,976 --> 00:47:54,037
to Kermit Lynch. I didn't know about that place over

792
00:47:54,117 --> 00:47:56,879
in Berkeley. And one of the last times I saw

793
00:47:57,019 --> 00:47:59,701
John was I got an invitation to go to the

794
00:47:59,741 --> 00:48:02,943
La Pole, which is a big burgundy fest in San

795
00:48:03,003 --> 00:48:06,566
Francisco. And my wife said, I don't want to go.

796
00:48:06,706 --> 00:48:09,528
It's terrible. So I ended up with two tickets. And

797
00:48:09,568 --> 00:48:12,390
I figured, well, maybe Dvorak is willing to go, particularly

798
00:48:12,410 --> 00:48:14,671
if I'm paying and I already have the tickets. So

799
00:48:14,771 --> 00:48:16,873
we went to that thing together. And it wasn't all

800
00:48:17,493 --> 00:48:20,955
evening stuff. It was like half the people were very

801
00:48:21,036 --> 00:48:23,937
wealthy sort of technology people that knew nothing about wine.

802
00:48:23,958 --> 00:48:25,478
Then there were a bunch of other people that knew

803
00:48:25,539 --> 00:48:26,759
a lot about wine. Then there were a bunch of

804
00:48:26,759 --> 00:48:29,041
other people that were sponsors. It was a very weird

805
00:48:29,121 --> 00:48:31,783
collection of people. So John had a lot of fun

806
00:48:31,883 --> 00:48:34,184
kind of introducing me to one or two people that

807
00:48:34,224 --> 00:48:38,027
he knew. making some comments, but we really enjoyed ourselves

808
00:48:38,107 --> 00:48:42,130
and And he was always pointing out to me bargain

809
00:48:42,210 --> 00:48:45,932
basement wines. I guess I'm a bit of a snob

810
00:48:46,052 --> 00:48:48,494
relative to John, so I would never follow up on

811
00:48:48,614 --> 00:48:50,415
all of his suggestions. But he had a very good

812
00:48:50,475 --> 00:48:54,918
palate and could very quickly make comments about wine that

813
00:48:54,958 --> 00:48:59,422
were quite accurate. I miss that. I miss that. He

814
00:48:59,481 --> 00:49:00,983
was a good buddy to have a glass of wine

815
00:49:01,043 --> 00:49:03,504
with. He was also the guy you could text him

816
00:49:03,684 --> 00:49:07,027
a wine label or a wine menu, and within three

817
00:49:07,087 --> 00:49:09,308
minutes he would text you back. At the time of

818
00:49:09,308 --> 00:49:11,590
the day, because, you know, John, you know, I could,

819
00:49:12,030 --> 00:49:15,152
there's emails in his inbox, hundreds of mine he's never

820
00:49:15,232 --> 00:49:17,914
read because I didn't see that. It didn't come in.

821
00:49:18,014 --> 00:49:21,316
I didn't see it. But if you texted him something

822
00:49:21,316 --> 00:49:23,638
like, hey, man, what wine should I choose? Boom. And

823
00:49:23,678 --> 00:49:27,721
it was always like this. You say. okay, no wine

824
00:49:27,781 --> 00:49:31,303
should be more than 40 bucks. I'm like, okay, no,

825
00:49:31,463 --> 00:49:34,105
that's just ridiculous. And then he'd find one and he'd

826
00:49:34,145 --> 00:49:37,087
point one out. Even when, back in the early days,

827
00:49:37,107 --> 00:49:40,549
I'd come into San Francisco, we'd have lunch at Fringal,

828
00:49:40,689 --> 00:49:45,032
I would say, probably, his favorite haunt. And I'd say,

829
00:49:45,052 --> 00:49:47,474
hey, man, I got the company credit card. Let's just

830
00:49:47,934 --> 00:49:50,436
go crazy. He wouldn't do it. Like, no, this is

831
00:49:50,876 --> 00:49:53,458
always on the price. That's too expensive. They're charging too

832
00:49:53,518 --> 00:49:56,100
much. We're not going to drink that. Dana, How about

833
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:05,166
you? That is a complete opposite. Really? He never once.

834
00:50:05,666 --> 00:50:08,008
I remember getting the bill on a few dinners and

835
00:50:08,088 --> 00:50:11,390
was shocked because he always had the wine list. And

836
00:50:11,410 --> 00:50:14,752
so I was like, get whatever because you know wine

837
00:50:14,793 --> 00:50:18,775
better than I do. And that was not the case

838
00:50:18,855 --> 00:50:22,057
on our dinners. Maybe he adopted. Maybe he was just

839
00:50:22,117 --> 00:50:24,779
one of those, oh, adapt to this guy's budget. Oh,

840
00:50:24,839 --> 00:50:28,101
that's so cool. No, he was just trying to. introduced

841
00:50:28,141 --> 00:50:30,443
Dana to better wines. He was trying to up his

842
00:50:30,543 --> 00:50:34,786
palate. That's what John did. I mean, he did send

843
00:50:34,826 --> 00:50:37,048
me notes, order a case of this. This is good

844
00:50:37,088 --> 00:50:40,070
stuff. It's cheap. Order this. So I had boxes and

845
00:50:40,130 --> 00:50:42,311
boxes. And then eventually I couldn't keep up with it.

846
00:50:42,851 --> 00:50:47,254
But we did go to a wine tasting once. We

847
00:50:47,295 --> 00:50:51,317
went to a vineyard. It was actually somebody from No

848
00:50:51,417 --> 00:50:55,380
Agenda was like the PR person at this winery. And

849
00:50:55,460 --> 00:51:00,063
John, he's like, Let's go. So we went and they

850
00:51:00,143 --> 00:51:02,345
had the winemaker there and they had a whole set

851
00:51:02,445 --> 00:51:04,306
up, a tent set up for us and did a

852
00:51:04,346 --> 00:51:06,848
whole dinner. And it was really it was beautiful and

853
00:51:07,168 --> 00:51:09,730
lovely. But one of the funniest things that was he

854
00:51:09,830 --> 00:51:15,614
was there with the winemaker, this French guy. baiting the

855
00:51:15,714 --> 00:51:20,417
wines with the guy who made the wine. It's no

856
00:51:20,517 --> 00:51:23,419
good. John, I think this guy knows what he's talking

857
00:51:23,439 --> 00:51:26,341
about. He made it. No, no, no. The tannins on

858
00:51:26,401 --> 00:51:30,464
this, this one is... Why are the winemakers right there

859
00:51:30,504 --> 00:51:33,566
next to him? Oh, that's phenomenal. John was a taster

860
00:51:33,626 --> 00:51:35,847
for Bon Appetit. I mean, he was invited to events

861
00:51:35,927 --> 00:51:39,250
all the time to be one of the... He was

862
00:51:39,450 --> 00:51:42,792
really a student of wine. I mean, you could throw

863
00:51:42,912 --> 00:51:47,996
out a year in a and he would just tell

864
00:51:48,036 --> 00:51:49,757
you, "Well, you know what that tasted like?" And he

865
00:51:49,797 --> 00:51:53,559
could describe it. And it was really interesting. I mean,

866
00:51:53,699 --> 00:51:55,901
you know. You know, it's a wonder I'm not a

867
00:51:55,961 --> 00:52:00,784
full-blown alcoholic. Can I sneak one thing in here? Yeah,

868
00:52:00,944 --> 00:52:04,447
please. The Consumer Electronics Show in 2000, John and I

869
00:52:04,527 --> 00:52:07,209
went down there because he was on a kick about

870
00:52:07,289 --> 00:52:11,091
going global. Everything's going global. So he wanted to go

871
00:52:11,191 --> 00:52:13,333
from booth to booth and get people to talk about

872
00:52:13,473 --> 00:52:17,295
what they thought going global meant. And we wound up

873
00:52:17,556 --> 00:52:21,218
getting a bunch of silly answers and a little crowd

874
00:52:21,278 --> 00:52:26,021
of people who followed him around like deep pocket money

875
00:52:26,201 --> 00:52:29,504
or investors. And one of them said, we should have

876
00:52:29,524 --> 00:52:31,465
dinner. John said, yeah, we'll have dinner. We'll go to

877
00:52:31,465 --> 00:52:35,908
the Bellagio. And we all went to the Bellagio. And

878
00:52:36,008 --> 00:52:39,570
John got the wine list. And those poor guys, I

879
00:52:39,630 --> 00:52:42,152
have to tell you, I think it was about $8,500

880
00:52:42,592 --> 00:52:46,975
worth of wine. And each one that came out, another

881
00:52:47,036 --> 00:52:49,817
bottle would give out like $300, $400 bottle of wine.

882
00:52:49,837 --> 00:52:52,159
He'd go, oh, this one's great. You're going to love

883
00:52:52,159 --> 00:52:54,260
this. And he'd pour it for them. He got them

884
00:52:54,340 --> 00:52:57,102
drunk. He had them pay for dinner. It was hilarious.

885
00:52:57,142 --> 00:52:59,764
What a great dinner. And it was John in his

886
00:52:59,904 --> 00:53:03,667
prime just rolling out the details about the wine and

887
00:53:03,707 --> 00:53:06,309
the taste. This one has a big nose. They said,

888
00:53:06,609 --> 00:53:08,730
does it have a fright wig and big shoes? It

889
00:53:08,790 --> 00:53:11,712
might be a clown wine. You know, joking around with

890
00:53:11,772 --> 00:53:17,036
them. And we're realizing we're skinning these guys alive. It

891
00:53:17,096 --> 00:53:21,559
was, I will never forget that in my entire life.

892
00:53:22,379 --> 00:53:26,182
What a joy. But later, John didn't really travel much,

893
00:53:26,322 --> 00:53:29,084
Mimi. He kind of liked to stay home. I know

894
00:53:29,144 --> 00:53:32,686
that sometimes he would have, he always talked about having

895
00:53:32,726 --> 00:53:36,169
some speaking engagement. He's on his way to the airport,

896
00:53:36,249 --> 00:53:39,331
realizes he's forgot his belt, went back and just wouldn't

897
00:53:39,371 --> 00:53:46,916
get on the plane. Well, you know, being self-employed forever,

898
00:53:47,196 --> 00:53:51,539
you know, we had to sometimes scramble because... You know,

899
00:53:51,539 --> 00:53:58,764
our income could, you know, dive unexpectedly. significantly. So at

900
00:53:58,904 --> 00:54:00,745
one point when all the magazines started going out of

901
00:54:00,785 --> 00:54:04,528
business, I started putting them on a speaking tour. And

902
00:54:04,788 --> 00:54:06,689
I, at one point I was having him do like

903
00:54:06,749 --> 00:54:11,353
four keynotes a month and then another 12 other speaking

904
00:54:11,433 --> 00:54:16,576
things. You're like the momager. What's going on here? He

905
00:54:16,676 --> 00:54:19,938
wasn't pleased, I can say that. So, you know, he

906
00:54:19,978 --> 00:54:22,240
kind of got, he did travel. He traveled all over

907
00:54:22,260 --> 00:54:26,083
the world. I mean, he went on junkets everywhere. He

908
00:54:26,163 --> 00:54:29,525
was... You know, he did travel extensively. At a certain

909
00:54:29,565 --> 00:54:31,366
point, he said, eh, there's nowhere else I really want

910
00:54:31,386 --> 00:54:35,209
to see. So, um... I've seen it all. I'm done.

911
00:54:36,009 --> 00:54:38,591
Yeah. Yeah, that was... And I never liked to travel,

912
00:54:38,751 --> 00:54:42,434
so, you know, that was fine with me. Um... I'm

913
00:54:42,494 --> 00:54:48,458
not a good traveler. So, John, um... You know, he

914
00:54:48,518 --> 00:54:50,979
would wear people ragged when he would go on these

915
00:54:51,099 --> 00:54:53,561
trips with them because he'd have PR people just like,

916
00:54:53,581 --> 00:54:56,343
well, I want to do this. I'm going to Finland.

917
00:54:56,363 --> 00:55:04,449
I want to ride a reindeer. That makes so much

918
00:55:04,449 --> 00:55:09,012
sense. Yeah. I mean, yeah. So, I mean, it's, he

919
00:55:09,052 --> 00:55:12,774
was definitely. someone to try to keep up with. I

920
00:55:12,834 --> 00:55:14,796
mean, even when we would go on a trip, family

921
00:55:14,876 --> 00:55:18,238
trip, you know, we Like we went to, our longest

922
00:55:18,258 --> 00:55:21,020
trip was to South Africa. And I've got two kids

923
00:55:21,100 --> 00:55:25,663
in tow. I'm in coach. John's first class because South

924
00:55:25,763 --> 00:55:29,706
Africa is paying for the trip. The nation of South

925
00:55:29,846 --> 00:55:33,628
Africa? Huh? The nation of South Africa was paying for

926
00:55:33,688 --> 00:55:38,532
the trip? Yeah. Okay. Nice. Nice. Yeah. And it was

927
00:55:38,632 --> 00:55:41,453
like, you know, I was always afraid of getting lost

928
00:55:41,534 --> 00:55:44,075
at the airport because he would just walk like he

929
00:55:44,135 --> 00:55:46,317
was by himself. So he'd be like a mile ahead

930
00:55:46,377 --> 00:55:48,198
of me. And I'd be, you know, with the bags

931
00:55:48,278 --> 00:55:54,762
and the kids. Slow down. One of the wonderful things.

932
00:55:56,744 --> 00:55:59,346
John would talk about is the many, many jobs he

933
00:55:59,446 --> 00:56:03,548
had. And it never, never ceased to amaze what job

934
00:56:03,649 --> 00:56:07,171
he had had, right down to can inspector. That was

935
00:56:07,191 --> 00:56:11,594
another one of my favorites. But I all, and I

936
00:56:11,774 --> 00:56:13,835
egged him on all the time to tell this story

937
00:56:13,936 --> 00:56:17,478
because it's about his job as an air pollution inspector

938
00:56:17,518 --> 00:56:21,741
and a famous politician. From now on, she's Barbara Boxter.

939
00:56:21,781 --> 00:56:23,762
She's the one, as you recall, that used to try

940
00:56:23,842 --> 00:56:27,685
to pick up the air pollution inspectors. Oh, do tell

941
00:56:27,725 --> 00:56:30,947
the story again, John. You really want me to tell

942
00:56:30,947 --> 00:56:33,949
it again? Yes, yes, because I, yes, yes. We had

943
00:56:34,049 --> 00:56:37,211
two people, a member of the board, the Regional Air

944
00:56:37,251 --> 00:56:39,613
Pollution Board. One of them was Boxer and one was

945
00:56:39,673 --> 00:56:42,155
Feinstein. And I have these two anecdotes about both of

946
00:56:42,175 --> 00:56:44,516
them. But the Boxer one is the most interesting because...

947
00:56:45,577 --> 00:56:47,398
After one of the meetings, she would always try to

948
00:56:47,498 --> 00:56:50,740
solicit one of the air pollution inspectors. We all had

949
00:56:50,860 --> 00:56:54,663
cars. And you were an air inspection. Yeah, I was.

950
00:56:54,783 --> 00:56:56,564
I'm an expert on air pollution, believe it or not.

951
00:56:56,945 --> 00:56:59,706
I believe it. So we had these cars and she

952
00:56:59,766 --> 00:57:01,868
would find some, okay, can I get a ride home?

953
00:57:02,528 --> 00:57:04,610
And the guys, all the guys would bitch about this

954
00:57:04,670 --> 00:57:07,192
because she'd make a pass at everybody trying to get

955
00:57:07,212 --> 00:57:10,054
them in the sack. Now, she's not, certainly back in

956
00:57:10,114 --> 00:57:15,237
the day, I think she's doable. She still wears kind

957
00:57:15,297 --> 00:57:18,639
of whorish makeup. Yeah, but that's what's so great about

958
00:57:18,719 --> 00:57:22,122
it. Yes, but imagine this being 25 or longer years

959
00:57:22,202 --> 00:57:25,604
ago, a long time ago. She would look pretty good.

960
00:57:26,705 --> 00:57:29,226
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, no, I think she probably

961
00:57:29,306 --> 00:57:32,909
was. But it was very annoying. Nobody wanted to take

962
00:57:32,949 --> 00:57:35,471
her driver. It was like everyone was scattered when she

963
00:57:35,591 --> 00:57:37,252
came out of these meetings. She looks kind of like

964
00:57:37,312 --> 00:57:40,294
a news anchor. She's sexy. How was her body? Was

965
00:57:40,374 --> 00:57:42,375
it okay back then? I don't know. I never fucked

966
00:57:42,415 --> 00:57:48,199
her. Whatever the case, it would be the funniest thing

967
00:57:48,219 --> 00:57:50,661
to watch everyone scatter. Jump in their car, sit in

968
00:57:50,681 --> 00:57:53,123
the driveway. Hey, man, I've got to pick up the

969
00:57:53,143 --> 00:57:57,346
kids. Soon, everyone took off. It looks like she had

970
00:57:57,365 --> 00:58:00,748
dark hair back in the day. She still does. No,

971
00:58:00,968 --> 00:58:03,690
no, no, no, no. No, she's like, she's like blondish,

972
00:58:03,770 --> 00:58:09,854
darkest blonde. Anyway, so she is a super duper Obama

973
00:58:09,914 --> 00:58:12,616
bot. And here's her contribution. She's dumb, by the way.

974
00:58:12,696 --> 00:58:15,938
That's a real problem. Wait a minute. How about Feinstein?

975
00:58:16,338 --> 00:58:20,221
Was she whorish, too? No, not at all. But she

976
00:58:20,261 --> 00:58:24,624
was just the opposite. She was very prudish. But she

977
00:58:24,664 --> 00:58:28,306
was also, I would say, she was even dumber. Well,

978
00:58:29,087 --> 00:58:31,589
listen, you can't fix stupid. We all know that. That's

979
00:58:31,609 --> 00:58:35,071
what we say here in Texas. It was a rare

980
00:58:35,311 --> 00:58:39,014
F-bomb from John C. Dvorak. And we would always catch

981
00:58:39,074 --> 00:58:42,856
each other on stuff. You know, if we were constantly

982
00:58:42,956 --> 00:58:47,119
saying something like fact of the matter or anyway or

983
00:58:47,219 --> 00:58:50,702
whatever it was, we would always be checking each other

984
00:58:50,842 --> 00:58:52,743
on the show. Oh, you said it. Oh, we're going

985
00:58:52,743 --> 00:58:55,225
to. Oh, no, you got to stop saying that. It

986
00:58:55,285 --> 00:59:00,808
was just a wonderful, wonderful experience. to be in conversation

987
00:59:00,848 --> 00:59:04,791
with him for almost six, seven hours a week. Some

988
00:59:04,851 --> 00:59:07,653
of his... Yes, ma'am. So actually, you know, him being

989
00:59:07,693 --> 00:59:11,416
an air pollution inspector is why I picked the... the

990
00:59:11,736 --> 00:59:14,418
funeral home because he used to inspect it because it's

991
00:59:14,458 --> 00:59:20,502
also a crematorium. No. No. Hey, you know, if he

992
00:59:20,602 --> 00:59:22,243
gave it a clean bill of health, I was going

993
00:59:22,243 --> 00:59:27,687
to go for it. So there is going to be

994
00:59:27,787 --> 00:59:30,428
a friends and family memorial, I believe. You want to

995
00:59:30,469 --> 00:59:33,911
tell us what's happening? Well, we need to plan it.

996
00:59:34,091 --> 00:59:37,473
So we'll figure it out by Sunday when I speak

997
00:59:37,553 --> 00:59:41,216
to you again. So, yeah, we're going to have a

998
00:59:41,276 --> 00:59:43,797
friends and family memorial that we're sending out invitations to.

999
00:59:43,878 --> 00:59:46,179
And then we're going to have a public one for

1000
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:50,982
everyone. But we have to put it together. And I'm,

1001
00:59:51,563 --> 00:59:55,025
you know, I've been a little distracted. Yes. It also

1002
00:59:55,125 --> 00:59:58,447
seems like a lot of people are already organizing meetups

1003
00:59:58,688 --> 00:59:59,989
in his honor.

1004
01:00:00,420 --> 01:00:02,241
which I think is a great way to do it.

1005
01:00:03,382 --> 01:00:05,983
I love that people are doing that. I think we

1006
01:00:06,064 --> 01:00:08,565
lost Will. I'm not sure if he's coming back or

1007
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:11,627
not. I do want to share. Is JC still there?

1008
01:00:11,847 --> 01:00:16,611
Yeah. JC's here. Hello. Yes, JC's here. Some of the

1009
01:00:16,731 --> 01:00:21,654
talk, JC. I, I, I, I, I, I was just

1010
01:00:21,654 --> 01:00:24,096
going to go back to the wine thing, but the

1011
01:00:24,256 --> 01:00:26,878
conversation has moved on. So at the, at the table,

1012
01:00:27,438 --> 01:00:29,219
which I think was mentioned in the past in the

1013
01:00:29,219 --> 01:00:31,201
show, which is that we do a, we've been, we

1014
01:00:31,241 --> 01:00:34,543
have been doing a dinner every Friday. And he would

1015
01:00:34,563 --> 01:00:37,065
bring out these wines and it would be able to

1016
01:00:37,145 --> 01:00:40,287
explain the whole background of the wine And we but

1017
01:00:40,307 --> 01:00:43,829
he wouldn't he would hold back one important fact So

1018
01:00:43,909 --> 01:00:45,150
we would try it, and he'd go like, what do

1019
01:00:45,150 --> 01:00:47,311
you think? And we'd go, oh, it's really good. He's

1020
01:00:47,311 --> 01:00:49,713
like, okay, now this one. And we'd try it. And

1021
01:00:49,753 --> 01:00:52,215
we're like, this is even better. And he's like, how

1022
01:00:52,315 --> 01:00:54,977
much better? And then he would tap his finger on

1023
01:00:55,037 --> 01:01:01,081
one of the bottles and say, $10. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly

1024
01:01:01,161 --> 01:01:04,523
right. He loved that. He loved finding those bargains. He

1025
01:01:04,623 --> 01:01:12,769
did. He did. With the wine, I started having reactions

1026
01:01:12,809 --> 01:01:15,911
to California wine. And he didn't trust that I was

1027
01:01:15,971 --> 01:01:18,853
having, I'd get really bad headaches because of whatever they

1028
01:01:18,933 --> 01:01:21,595
do with the yeast. Who knows? He had a theory

1029
01:01:21,715 --> 01:01:24,817
on it. So what he'd do is, just to test

1030
01:01:24,837 --> 01:01:26,898
me, every once in a while he'd pour wine and

1031
01:01:26,938 --> 01:01:28,800
he'd be staring at me and I'd be like, oh

1032
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,541
yeah, he's trying to slip a California wine to see

1033
01:01:31,581 --> 01:01:37,325
what happens. Oh wow, no way. Always. One of the

1034
01:01:38,246 --> 01:01:42,048
long-running jokes on the show... I just have a short

1035
01:01:43,149 --> 01:01:46,331
mini cut of it, which needs to be discussed. Wait,

1036
01:01:46,331 --> 01:01:48,633
we have the egg book, the vinegar book, the salt

1037
01:01:48,753 --> 01:01:51,115
book. Now there's a vinegar book? Oh, yeah, the vinegar

1038
01:01:51,175 --> 01:01:53,416
book. Oh, this will come out after the vinegar book?

1039
01:01:53,817 --> 01:01:56,838
Oh, yes, right after the vinegar book. And the depression

1040
01:01:56,899 --> 01:01:59,140
book. Don't forget that one. I got to finish these

1041
01:01:59,180 --> 01:02:00,821
books. Yeah. Are you ever going to finish one, you

1042
01:02:00,861 --> 01:02:04,444
think? Yes. After the vinegar book and the cycles book.

1043
01:02:05,024 --> 01:02:08,086
Here's the vinegar book, which is almost done. Well, the

1044
01:02:08,106 --> 01:02:10,248
vinegar book, I guess, is never going to happen. Oh,

1045
01:02:10,508 --> 01:02:12,649
no. The vinegar book's on its way. Okay. So the

1046
01:02:12,709 --> 01:02:17,012
vinegar book is going to be you sour, sour writing.

1047
01:02:18,293 --> 01:02:23,056
Sour Dvorak. Sour Dvorak about douchebags you've known. The vinegar

1048
01:02:23,096 --> 01:02:26,218
book has now become a chapter in the Dvorak family

1049
01:02:26,298 --> 01:02:30,281
cookbook coming out later this year. Pop out. So where

1050
01:02:30,421 --> 01:02:33,323
are we with the vinegar book, Mimi? Oh, it's done.

1051
01:02:33,403 --> 01:02:36,065
It's done. It is done. It's done. We have to

1052
01:02:36,185 --> 01:02:39,267
edit it and get it laid out. It's done. And

1053
01:02:39,327 --> 01:02:42,109
will it be a standalone or indeed part of the

1054
01:02:42,189 --> 01:02:52,516
Dvorak family cookbook? A pamphlet, maybe. No kidding. A giblet,

1055
01:02:52,596 --> 01:02:57,580
as we call it. A giblet. Well... Well, Brennan actually

1056
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,742
is the one who John taught everything about his vinegar.

1057
01:03:02,043 --> 01:03:03,804
Really? Yeah, and then he tried to get me to

1058
01:03:03,864 --> 01:03:06,426
write the chapter for him. And then he edited it.

1059
01:03:06,486 --> 01:03:10,208
So he didn't even do that himself. It's called delegation.

1060
01:03:10,688 --> 01:03:14,351
It's delegation, yeah. But the family cookbook is going to

1061
01:03:14,391 --> 01:03:19,454
be out hopefully soon. And, you know, I learned something

1062
01:03:19,494 --> 01:03:22,116
when I was talking to Mimi and Jay and Brennan

1063
01:03:22,276 --> 01:03:24,458
the other night that I don't know if you, Adam,

1064
01:03:24,558 --> 01:03:28,160
know this, but John has a vinegar collection. Yes, I

1065
01:03:28,260 --> 01:03:31,042
did. Yes. Mothers and all kinds of stuff in jars,

1066
01:03:31,142 --> 01:03:34,044
I'm sure. That he's been raising for like, you know.

1067
01:03:36,086 --> 01:03:38,928
60 years uh that i didn't know i figured he

1068
01:03:38,968 --> 01:03:42,070
was gonna kill somebody with it eventually yeah he's got

1069
01:03:42,150 --> 01:03:45,032
cultures and you know basically you know because he'd open

1070
01:03:45,152 --> 01:03:46,813
wine and go yeah this would be good vinegar so

1071
01:03:47,954 --> 01:03:50,115
then he'd open a different bottle of wine so yeah

1072
01:03:50,215 --> 01:03:53,557
it's a very weird i always found it to be

1073
01:03:53,577 --> 01:03:57,320
the biggest annoyance of my life but you know Being

1074
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,082
his wife was not the easiest. But it's being understated.

1075
01:04:00,822 --> 01:04:02,724
This is being understated a bit. There is basically a

1076
01:04:02,844 --> 01:04:08,788
system of large, like, gallon, what's the, like, those big

1077
01:04:09,008 --> 01:04:12,670
brew jugs. They're not bigger than magnums. They're the big

1078
01:04:12,751 --> 01:04:16,793
glass, it's like what you make, like, beer with. Cider

1079
01:04:16,853 --> 01:04:20,196
mugs, yeah. And there's a whole system of them, and

1080
01:04:20,216 --> 01:04:22,677
they have, like, different lineages, and, like, there's a whole,

1081
01:04:22,717 --> 01:04:29,162
like, breeding line. There's, like, pure breads of vinegar. There's

1082
01:04:29,182 --> 01:04:30,863
a whole system by which they get mixed or not

1083
01:04:30,923 --> 01:04:34,045
mixed. It's not like you can imagine just a series

1084
01:04:34,105 --> 01:04:37,607
of bottles or like mason jars in a cabinet. That's

1085
01:04:37,607 --> 01:04:39,809
not what it is. It's a region of the house

1086
01:04:39,869 --> 01:04:43,932
that is full of jugs. And then it slowly expands

1087
01:04:43,992 --> 01:04:46,273
when he opens a bottle of wine. He would be

1088
01:04:46,333 --> 01:04:49,455
like, oh, it's fine. And then he puts a paper

1089
01:04:49,495 --> 01:04:51,397
towel in it, put it with the rest of the

1090
01:04:51,397 --> 01:04:54,279
collection, and over months it would grow, and then I'd

1091
01:04:54,299 --> 01:04:56,920
be like, Dad. This is getting out of control. We

1092
01:04:56,980 --> 01:04:58,662
have to go through it. And me and Brennan would

1093
01:04:58,682 --> 01:05:01,924
help him just like... drink it, spit it out, and

1094
01:05:01,944 --> 01:05:06,287
be like, oh, that's terrible. And by about ten bottles,

1095
01:05:06,687 --> 01:05:10,429
you have completely burned the inside of your mouth. And

1096
01:05:10,490 --> 01:05:13,952
no food or flavor means anything. And then he'll pull

1097
01:05:14,092 --> 01:05:17,735
out a wine and have you try it. And he

1098
01:05:17,815 --> 01:05:20,636
could still taste it. He was remarkable. He could still

1099
01:05:20,697 --> 01:05:22,978
get the notes. He still had the nose. And my

1100
01:05:23,078 --> 01:05:28,001
whole sinuses were fried. Also, there was a fun little

1101
01:05:28,041 --> 01:05:29,282
gag he had, which is he would take one of

1102
01:05:29,322 --> 01:05:32,545
the bottles out from the vinegar collection, which he had

1103
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:35,146
had for like 10 years. And he points at the

1104
01:05:35,386 --> 01:05:37,048
age and the year and he's like, try this. And

1105
01:05:37,068 --> 01:05:40,290
I'm like, oh boy. And it's just normal wine because

1106
01:05:40,350 --> 01:05:42,571
it was like it had like an it was like

1107
01:05:42,731 --> 01:05:46,174
an antibacterial or had some sort of weird preservative in

1108
01:05:46,294 --> 01:05:48,335
it. And so it was just like exactly the same

1109
01:05:48,395 --> 01:05:50,156
as when it was first opened. And he was just

1110
01:05:50,176 --> 01:05:52,858
like, see, that was the whole point of it. Just

1111
01:05:53,299 --> 01:05:59,983
no further argument. Love that. Yeah. Some of John's stories

1112
01:06:00,023 --> 01:06:03,586
turned into jingles that people just wanted to hear over

1113
01:06:03,726 --> 01:06:07,508
and over and over again. I've got ants. Ants is

1114
01:06:07,868 --> 01:06:11,211
without a doubt a fan favorite. So actually I'll play

1115
01:06:11,311 --> 01:06:13,592
the ants jingle and then I want to play another

1116
01:06:13,692 --> 01:06:18,075
one in the original, the original version. This was done

1117
01:06:18,155 --> 01:06:22,198
by Sir Saturday Night Bill who passed away I think

1118
01:06:22,278 --> 01:06:26,381
earlier, Christmas last year. This without a doubt is one

1119
01:06:26,441 --> 01:06:30,344
of the most requested jingles that we played in the

1120
01:06:30,404 --> 01:06:40,410
donation segment. It's a classic. I got ants. We got

1121
01:06:40,591 --> 01:06:48,816
ants. you I don't know if we had ants, we

1122
01:06:48,896 --> 01:06:53,619
had ant invasion. I was thinking if you desiccated a

1123
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,782
big pile of ants and then ground them to a

1124
01:06:56,862 --> 01:07:02,445
powder like a fine... black pepper. We were having dinner

1125
01:07:02,505 --> 01:07:07,649
and yeah! I got an ant somehow in the meal

1126
01:07:08,209 --> 01:07:10,531
and I ate it. These things are peppery. I got

1127
01:07:10,751 --> 01:07:23,880
ants. you I got ants. They don't need a lot.

1128
01:07:23,980 --> 01:07:25,761
And then you see, you find all the ones that

1129
01:07:25,781 --> 01:07:28,743
are roaming around. I backed him off by doing the

1130
01:07:28,823 --> 01:07:34,387
burning trick. leave it there the only any derogational moments

1131
01:07:34,427 --> 01:07:37,169
where there's an ant that you do not torch and

1132
01:07:37,229 --> 01:07:40,111
that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants

1133
01:07:40,291 --> 01:07:53,060
back i got ants I got ants. We got ants.

1134
01:07:58,543 --> 01:08:11,472
I got ants. It's... John was such a complete, just

1135
01:08:12,813 --> 01:08:18,437
a wealth of... material that people love to mix and

1136
01:08:18,517 --> 01:08:22,800
remix and do things with and so yeah was that

1137
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,162
jc no no that's me that the ants thing we

1138
01:08:26,262 --> 01:08:29,424
live on an ant hill yes we're very well aware

1139
01:08:29,464 --> 01:08:32,947
and the first the first couple days we were in

1140
01:08:32,987 --> 01:08:37,270
the house i woke up to the bed engulfed with

1141
01:08:37,430 --> 01:08:41,412
ants i never heard this part of the story And

1142
01:08:41,532 --> 01:08:43,794
I was like, I hate this house. I hate this

1143
01:08:43,894 --> 01:08:47,617
house. And, you know, you'd see one, you'd go, uh-oh.

1144
01:08:47,677 --> 01:08:50,058
Yeah. Watch out. When you see one, that means, and

1145
01:08:50,058 --> 01:08:52,260
they would only swarm, they wouldn't swarm at any normal

1146
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,061
time. Like, there wasn't a season. It was just like,

1147
01:08:54,481 --> 01:08:56,683
whenever they felt like they built up, because I would

1148
01:08:56,723 --> 01:08:58,904
vacuum them up, you know. That was part of his

1149
01:08:58,944 --> 01:09:01,046
tip. Yes, vacuum them up. Yeah, that was part of

1150
01:09:01,046 --> 01:09:03,727
the tip. But it was like a constant battle. And,

1151
01:09:03,807 --> 01:09:06,809
you know, it was like the Chinese army attacking. You

1152
01:09:06,850 --> 01:09:08,350
know, they would build up for a while and they'd

1153
01:09:08,371 --> 01:09:12,954
just swarm. He said he had ants. You know, it

1154
01:09:13,014 --> 01:09:15,836
wasn't like most people go, "Ew, I've got ants in

1155
01:09:15,876 --> 01:09:19,238
the house." No, it'd be like... The floor is moving.

1156
01:09:19,438 --> 01:09:21,880
Oh, no. I mean, John was always truthful. He never

1157
01:09:21,980 --> 01:09:27,083
exaggerated about anything, particularly his disdain of a certain habit

1158
01:09:27,163 --> 01:09:30,105
people have on airplanes. Just go for it, John. Tell

1159
01:09:30,145 --> 01:09:34,989
us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks

1160
01:09:35,049 --> 01:09:37,510
on an airplane. I see this on the airplane, and

1161
01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:39,852
it's very annoying, and I think it will result in

1162
01:09:40,012 --> 01:09:42,714
fights breaking out because it's just so annoying to watch.

1163
01:09:43,334 --> 01:09:46,496
Guy takes his bag of peanuts, and he throws a

1164
01:09:46,636 --> 01:09:49,558
pile of them into his, of his hand and then

1165
01:09:49,638 --> 01:09:54,362
he makes a fist. around the nuts and then he

1166
01:09:54,702 --> 01:09:57,164
shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to

1167
01:09:57,224 --> 01:10:02,527
the little hole. Stop! And then he throws a nut

1168
01:10:02,647 --> 01:10:04,749
in his mouth from his fist. Then he does it

1169
01:10:04,789 --> 01:10:07,431
again. He shakes and throws and shakes and throws. It

1170
01:10:07,591 --> 01:10:12,034
is annoying as hell to watch. Oh, my gosh. They

1171
01:10:12,094 --> 01:10:14,916
just needed porn music. Your description is fabulous. I got

1172
01:10:14,936 --> 01:10:18,198
to produce that. There is that part of it. You

1173
01:10:18,238 --> 01:10:20,860
can look at all these things as obscene, but that's

1174
01:10:20,980 --> 01:10:24,542
exactly what you see. This guy shaking his fist and

1175
01:10:24,622 --> 01:10:29,505
popping a peanut. It's nasty. It's nasty. It's very nasty.

1176
01:10:29,525 --> 01:10:32,167
I agree. It's nasty. are flying we look at each

1177
01:10:32,247 --> 01:10:33,648
other i'm like i'm gonna do it i'm gonna fist

1178
01:10:33,688 --> 01:10:39,112
them I'm fisting. I'm fisting. So I know that John

1179
01:10:39,252 --> 01:10:41,794
actually never really liked this mix that came in of

1180
01:10:41,934 --> 01:10:45,736
fisting nuts, but it was another fan favorite. Just go

1181
01:10:45,836 --> 01:10:50,159
for it, John. Tell us your peeve about the fisting

1182
01:10:50,239 --> 01:10:52,981
method of eating snacks on an airplane. I see this

1183
01:10:53,161 --> 01:10:55,183
on the airplane, and it's very annoying, and I think

1184
01:10:55,263 --> 01:10:58,025
it will result in fights breaking out because it's just

1185
01:10:58,225 --> 01:11:01,407
so annoying to watch. Guy takes his bag of peanuts.

1186
01:11:02,588 --> 01:11:05,270
throws a pile of them into his palm of his

1187
01:11:05,330 --> 01:11:14,616
hand Thanks for watching. I'm trying to bring a nut

1188
01:11:14,676 --> 01:11:21,180
to the little horn. There's a nut in his mouth

1189
01:11:21,260 --> 01:11:25,243
from his fist. Then he does it again. He shakes

1190
01:11:25,323 --> 01:11:34,269
and throws and shakes and throws. Oh, Mimi, tell me

1191
01:11:34,329 --> 01:11:38,412
he hated that one. Oh, no, John and I had

1192
01:11:38,432 --> 01:11:41,294
a very similar sense of strange humor. I thought it

1193
01:11:41,334 --> 01:11:44,276
was very funny. Oh, good. Oh, good. Because whenever someone

1194
01:11:44,336 --> 01:11:48,539
asks, we're like, oh, yeah, fisting nuts. He always groused

1195
01:11:48,619 --> 01:11:55,604
about that one. Um... One more story. This is my

1196
01:11:56,004 --> 01:12:00,847
absolute all-time favorite John T. Dvorak story. And we haven't

1197
01:12:00,867 --> 01:12:04,270
referred to it in many, many years. And this is

1198
01:12:04,350 --> 01:12:10,454
young Dvorak. And this is just so John. And maybe

1199
01:12:10,454 --> 01:12:12,835
you'll be able to give us some back story. You

1200
01:12:12,915 --> 01:12:14,757
probably didn't even know John at the time, Mimi. But

1201
01:12:14,777 --> 01:12:19,960
this is the famous motorcycle story. Here we go. I

1202
01:12:20,100 --> 01:12:25,444
took my motorcycle up to Tahoe. To see BB King.

1203
01:12:25,524 --> 01:12:28,106
To see BB King, and I figured I'd gamble on

1204
01:12:28,226 --> 01:12:32,669
it. How old were you? I don't remember. 24? Something

1205
01:12:32,689 --> 01:12:36,391
like that. Did you have long, flowing hair? No, I

1206
01:12:36,591 --> 01:12:38,213
have very thin hair. I still have pretty much the

1207
01:12:38,233 --> 01:12:39,734
hair I always have. What was the motorcycle? What kind

1208
01:12:39,734 --> 01:12:45,137
of motorcycle? It was a Kawasaki Triple. Rice burner. Okay.

1209
01:12:46,398 --> 01:12:50,141
Oh, it was fast. Anyway, if I got too long,

1210
01:12:50,181 --> 01:12:52,042
I'd get these split ends and make my face itch.

1211
01:12:52,262 --> 01:12:54,463
So I never could grow really long hair because it

1212
01:12:54,463 --> 01:12:56,625
would drive me nuts. So I go up there, and

1213
01:12:56,705 --> 01:13:00,327
I go to the tables before the concert, and I

1214
01:13:00,608 --> 01:13:03,890
win, I don't know, $200, $300. And I decide that

1215
01:13:04,010 --> 01:13:06,952
instead of spending the night, I'm going to come back

1216
01:13:07,072 --> 01:13:08,753
after the B.B. King concert. I go watch it, and

1217
01:13:08,753 --> 01:13:09,934
I had a great seat. It was right in front.

1218
01:13:09,954 --> 01:13:12,876
It was like a lounge act, B.B. King. And you

1219
01:13:12,896 --> 01:13:15,037
were doing blow or just drinking scotch? No, I wasn't

1220
01:13:15,077 --> 01:13:18,740
doing anything, no. No. Even weed. I'm on a motorcycle.

1221
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,062
Some dudes. Bad enough with the big gouges in Highway

1222
01:13:22,202 --> 01:13:25,505
80 that you could get killed just driving back. So

1223
01:13:25,765 --> 01:13:28,747
I say, the concert's always around midnight. I say, hell

1224
01:13:28,807 --> 01:13:33,190
with it. I'm driving home. I'll save the hotel. costs

1225
01:13:33,550 --> 01:13:36,712
and i'll just drive home so it's it's not quite

1226
01:13:36,732 --> 01:13:39,294
snowing but it's below zero so it's freezing and i

1227
01:13:39,374 --> 01:13:43,977
got all this gear on you're aware that it's snowing

1228
01:13:43,997 --> 01:13:46,919
and it's but i'm gonna get there once i get

1229
01:13:46,979 --> 01:13:48,580
down the hill it's not going to be snowing for

1230
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,542
long wow and so i i start to get uh

1231
01:13:52,082 --> 01:13:53,684
what do you call when you get too cold it's

1232
01:13:53,744 --> 01:13:57,966
called um hypothermia hypothermia i start getting hypothermia and so

1233
01:13:58,006 --> 01:14:02,169
i'm driving and so and so i go into a

1234
01:14:02,229 --> 01:14:05,151
gas and make the mistake of warming up, which is,

1235
01:14:05,191 --> 01:14:07,953
you know, because if you're going to be cold, you

1236
01:14:08,013 --> 01:14:10,735
don't want to go warm, cold, warm, cold. So I

1237
01:14:11,396 --> 01:14:14,618
started shivering like a maniac after I left the gas

1238
01:14:14,658 --> 01:14:18,600
station, after I warmed up. So I started driving. On

1239
01:14:18,701 --> 01:14:24,905
the entrance. There is a beautiful woman hitchhiking. I mean,

1240
01:14:25,105 --> 01:14:27,767
dynamite. She was dressed up in a lot of gear.

1241
01:14:27,847 --> 01:14:30,949
You could just see her face. She's fantastic. And so

1242
01:14:31,429 --> 01:14:34,912
she's hitchhiking. And I pull over to ask her if

1243
01:14:34,912 --> 01:14:39,375
she wants to go, but I'm so... I'm so cold

1244
01:14:39,435 --> 01:14:42,336
and freezing I say to her, "Are you going to

1245
01:14:42,517 --> 01:14:46,399
come back to me?" And she takes a look at

1246
01:14:46,459 --> 01:14:49,641
me like I'm a crazy guy. She pulls out her

1247
01:14:49,721 --> 01:14:54,145
gun. No, she slowly walks backwards like Homer Simpson. Says,

1248
01:14:54,225 --> 01:14:58,047
"No thanks." And I realize, like, "But look how crazy

1249
01:14:58,047 --> 01:14:59,808
he is." And so I said,

1250
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,482
I said, fuck it. And I just drove off. No,

1251
01:15:04,082 --> 01:15:08,765
you said, yeah, that's right. I couldn't talk. How to

1252
01:15:08,825 --> 01:15:11,767
Pick Up Chicks by John C. Dvorak. One of my

1253
01:15:11,868 --> 01:15:16,411
favorite stories. So, Adam, do we have a thing? Did

1254
01:15:16,451 --> 01:15:21,474
Andrew Horowitz record something, too? Yes, we did. And I'm

1255
01:15:21,534 --> 01:15:23,475
glad you said that because I was going to suggest

1256
01:15:23,535 --> 01:15:26,557
the following. I talked to him for about 20 minutes.

1257
01:15:26,858 --> 01:15:30,800
And, you know, the DH Unplugged started not long after

1258
01:15:30,860 --> 01:15:35,243
No Agenda. Right. Like maybe less than a year, I

1259
01:15:35,323 --> 01:15:41,448
think. It was pretty quick. And Andrew... He had a

1260
01:15:41,888 --> 01:15:46,491
meniscus operation today, and he was under general anesthesia, and

1261
01:15:46,551 --> 01:15:48,372
so he really wanted to be a part of this.

1262
01:15:48,472 --> 01:15:50,634
And he's been a big part of John's life, too.

1263
01:15:52,155 --> 01:15:55,557
So I recorded about 20 minutes with him. I suggest

1264
01:15:56,057 --> 01:16:02,101
everybody who's on the clean feed, you can... Sit back,

1265
01:16:02,242 --> 01:16:04,983
relax for a second, and then maybe after that, just

1266
01:16:04,983 --> 01:16:07,725
looking at the time, we come back and we start

1267
01:16:08,646 --> 01:16:11,988
seeing what Gitmo Nation has to say for John. I

1268
01:16:12,108 --> 01:16:17,872
think that's a lovely idea. Let's go to my conversation

1269
01:16:17,912 --> 01:16:23,976
with Andrew Horowitz, who for many, many years, at least

1270
01:16:24,557 --> 01:16:30,401
17. 18 years on Tuesday nights. did the DH on

1271
01:16:30,481 --> 01:16:34,283
plug show with John C. Dvorak. All right, Andrew, we're

1272
01:16:34,343 --> 01:16:36,905
sorry that you are not able to be here with

1273
01:16:37,045 --> 01:16:39,707
us live on Thursday, but this is the next best

1274
01:16:39,787 --> 01:16:44,990
thing. Yeah, I am possibly right now either recovering or

1275
01:16:45,011 --> 01:16:47,292
still sleeping. I don't know. I was like, what's wrong

1276
01:16:47,352 --> 01:16:49,333
with you? Just bring, just bring a rig into the

1277
01:16:49,353 --> 01:16:51,915
hospital. This is the problem. Come on, man. Don't be

1278
01:16:51,955 --> 01:16:54,637
a pussy about it. Fortunately, it's outpatients. Just don't get

1279
01:16:54,697 --> 01:16:57,239
anybody crazy because they get all nervous now that we're

1280
01:16:57,299 --> 01:17:01,121
all going to leave them. You know? Oh, man. Just

1281
01:17:01,141 --> 01:17:05,925
a little meniscus repair. Yes. So that's happening tomorrow. I

1282
01:17:06,465 --> 01:17:08,446
love the video you put on X. That was just,

1283
01:17:08,646 --> 01:17:10,688
I could not, I mean, you could not have said

1284
01:17:10,748 --> 01:17:14,570
it better. It was just so, so perfect. You know

1285
01:17:14,611 --> 01:17:17,773
what? He was such an influence and such... Listen, he

1286
01:17:17,893 --> 01:17:21,435
was so kooky, but such... at the same time so

1287
01:17:21,515 --> 01:17:25,138
brilliant. Did you ever have a disagreement with him on

1288
01:17:25,198 --> 01:17:29,060
the show? Or like anger type stuff ever? That carried

1289
01:17:29,140 --> 01:17:31,942
over until the end? Because I was just telling Tina.

1290
01:17:32,943 --> 01:17:37,666
Like, we would get into, let's call them disagreements. But,

1291
01:17:37,686 --> 01:17:40,608
you know, certainly in the earlier years, I was pretty

1292
01:17:40,688 --> 01:17:47,933
hot-headed. And then after the show, we'd be arguing loudly.

1293
01:17:48,614 --> 01:17:52,136
But it always ended like this. Okay, so we do

1294
01:17:52,176 --> 01:17:55,538
the art. Yeah, let's do the art. All right. We

1295
01:17:55,718 --> 01:18:00,362
never, ever, ever left the show angry at each other.

1296
01:18:00,882 --> 01:18:02,603
It's like that rule that I have in my house

1297
01:18:02,683 --> 01:18:04,564
is never go to bed angry. Well, that's in the

1298
01:18:04,604 --> 01:18:08,907
Bible, my brother. Yeah, well, sometimes I stay awake all

1299
01:18:08,967 --> 01:18:10,708
night because I'm so pissed off I just won't go

1300
01:18:10,769 --> 01:18:14,491
to bed. But it's all worn out. But never, never.

1301
01:18:14,491 --> 01:18:18,194
There was not a lot of controversial stuff that we

1302
01:18:18,294 --> 01:18:21,536
talked about, I guess. Well, I guess there was. always,

1303
01:18:22,376 --> 01:18:24,518
he was kind of on one side of the discussion,

1304
01:18:24,758 --> 01:18:26,399
I was kind of on the other, but it was

1305
01:18:26,499 --> 01:18:28,981
never at a point that it got so heated that

1306
01:18:29,081 --> 01:18:31,783
I recall that I was worried like, am I ever

1307
01:18:31,863 --> 01:18:34,545
going to do another show with this guy? This rat

1308
01:18:34,685 --> 01:18:37,407
scoundrel? No, it never got like that. I never had

1309
01:18:37,467 --> 01:18:41,029
that either. We never ever had that. We always ended

1310
01:18:41,189 --> 01:18:43,531
and then, I'll see you Thursday. By the way, that's

1311
01:18:43,551 --> 01:18:45,292
how the last show ended. Alright man, see you Thursday.

1312
01:18:45,292 --> 01:18:49,835
Adios. That was it. Click, that was it. Although, to

1313
01:18:49,895 --> 01:18:54,158
be honest about it, Uh, he sent me a text

1314
01:18:54,258 --> 01:18:57,520
message. And let me see if I can find this

1315
01:18:57,620 --> 01:19:04,345
now. Um... He sent me a text message. after the

1316
01:19:04,445 --> 01:19:14,051
show. And... He says. All uppercase. The title is fucked

1317
01:19:14,151 --> 01:19:16,673
up, by the way, on the site. One quote mark

1318
01:19:16,753 --> 01:19:19,935
with the word copy. Also, down below, it says copy

1319
01:19:20,035 --> 01:19:21,737
on the show number page. And I said, I will

1320
01:19:21,797 --> 01:19:25,979
fix. And they said, but why are you yelling? One

1321
01:19:25,979 --> 01:19:30,743
thing I got to say, of all John's brilliance and

1322
01:19:30,863 --> 01:19:35,586
his eloquence and his ability to kind of rev it

1323
01:19:35,646 --> 01:19:37,727
up and back it off and all the beautiful things

1324
01:19:37,787 --> 01:19:44,712
he did, he was a horrible texter. Horrible! Not just

1325
01:19:44,772 --> 01:19:50,596
that, but I mean, I developed an entire new interpretation

1326
01:19:50,696 --> 01:19:54,499
of John C. Dvorak language and spelling. Because he's like,

1327
01:19:54,499 --> 01:20:00,223
oh yeah, there's this clip. I'm like, uh. He would

1328
01:20:00,243 --> 01:20:03,885
have different spelling or he would have one clip would

1329
01:20:03,905 --> 01:20:07,207
be number one, number two would be T-W-O. I mean,

1330
01:20:07,267 --> 01:20:10,990
he definitely, and this is not something new. This went

1331
01:20:11,150 --> 01:20:15,093
on from the beginning. He was amazing. By the way,

1332
01:20:15,153 --> 01:20:17,134
I did a little research on something. Just I want

1333
01:20:17,154 --> 01:20:19,696
to kind of make sure I say this note. So...

1334
01:20:21,517 --> 01:20:26,320
No agenda. first episode october 26 2007 right that's i

1335
01:20:26,340 --> 01:20:29,723
think it's i think it was 2008 actually really i

1336
01:20:29,903 --> 01:20:32,905
think so no no i look no you're right it's

1337
01:20:32,905 --> 01:20:37,108
2007 because before obama became president you're right 2007 yes

1338
01:20:37,388 --> 01:20:41,991
right um The Discipline Investor, by the way. March 7th,

1339
01:20:42,031 --> 01:20:45,753
2007. So a few months before that. I want to

1340
01:20:45,773 --> 01:20:47,475
go to the genesis of that. I don't mean to

1341
01:20:47,535 --> 01:20:50,897
interrupt because how you met was, I guess, through Podshow

1342
01:20:50,977 --> 01:20:53,859
or Mevio? Is that how it happened? I think either

1343
01:20:53,919 --> 01:20:59,443
that or Leo Laporte. There was something between Mevio, Podshow,

1344
01:21:00,143 --> 01:21:03,706
and I think I went out to Leo Laporte. I

1345
01:21:03,766 --> 01:21:06,247
was doing something in California. Leo invited me on his

1346
01:21:06,327 --> 01:21:07,888
show. It was that time when the whole world was

1347
01:21:07,908 --> 01:21:13,312
about to implode with technology somewhere along the lines there.

1348
01:21:14,353 --> 01:21:19,977
somewhere between March 7, 2007, and November 2008. That's when

1349
01:21:20,097 --> 01:21:25,740
DH and Plug started. Wow. Because if I recall... um

1350
01:21:25,981 --> 01:21:28,562
you came in you wanted to talk to ron bloom

1351
01:21:28,622 --> 01:21:31,284
oh yes uh because you were like hey these mevio

1352
01:21:31,384 --> 01:21:33,526
guys it wasn't maybe it was pod show then i

1353
01:21:33,586 --> 01:21:36,148
don't remember we had changed the mevio and uh i

1354
01:21:36,168 --> 01:21:38,189
remember meeting you know like oh that's interesting and then

1355
01:21:38,249 --> 01:21:41,471
i remember devorek immediately going yeah this horowitz guy we

1356
01:21:41,491 --> 01:21:43,733
should do something with him i'm like i don't know

1357
01:21:43,833 --> 01:21:45,494
you know what what are we going to do with

1358
01:21:45,574 --> 01:21:47,956
the whole system we didn't know what we were doing

1359
01:21:47,976 --> 01:21:51,278
at all with mevio and pod show and and all

1360
01:21:51,358 --> 01:21:53,819
i know is that that he kept in touch with

1361
01:21:53,859 --> 01:21:55,981
you and then suddenly you were doing a show together.

1362
01:21:56,281 --> 01:21:58,963
That's how I kind of recall it. Yeah, that was

1363
01:21:59,103 --> 01:22:01,805
what happened. And he and I started talking literally once

1364
01:22:01,825 --> 01:22:03,786
a week. This is a true story. Once a week.

1365
01:22:03,846 --> 01:22:06,288
I remember this very distinctly because I was having a

1366
01:22:06,628 --> 01:22:14,574
basic panic attack meltdown in late 2007. And I remember

1367
01:22:14,574 --> 01:22:16,455
we started talking and talking finance. And we talked for

1368
01:22:16,455 --> 01:22:19,477
like an hour. And I remember so distinctly me walking

1369
01:22:19,517 --> 01:22:21,718
around my pool in my backyard like circle, circle, circle.

1370
01:22:21,818 --> 01:22:25,241
Is this because you saw the collapse coming of 2008?

1371
01:22:25,321 --> 01:22:27,662
Wow. Yeah. I was freaking out. I was totally freaking

1372
01:22:27,682 --> 01:22:29,964
out. And he's talking to me and he's like, everybody

1373
01:22:29,964 --> 01:22:33,366
else is like, shut up. And John's like, let's do

1374
01:22:33,466 --> 01:22:37,009
a show. Actually, he said to me, after many, many

1375
01:22:37,069 --> 01:22:39,530
weeks of us just talking, he goes, you know what?

1376
01:22:39,570 --> 01:22:43,233
I'm like, what? He goes, people would love to hear

1377
01:22:43,293 --> 01:22:45,855
this. I'm like, what are you talking about? Who wants

1378
01:22:45,915 --> 01:22:49,357
to hear this? That is exactly the same way we

1379
01:22:49,497 --> 01:22:53,380
started. Because I was in London and I'd come out

1380
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,401
to San Francisco every couple of weeks and then be

1381
01:22:55,481 --> 01:22:58,723
back in London. And then we just talk on Skype

1382
01:22:58,783 --> 01:23:00,865
at the time. And we'd be talking and he said,

1383
01:23:00,925 --> 01:23:06,309
you know. We should record this. I'm like, okay. And

1384
01:23:06,329 --> 01:23:08,530
that was literally how we started. Like, okay. So that

1385
01:23:08,590 --> 01:23:10,411
was the same with you guys. That's interesting. I love

1386
01:23:10,411 --> 01:23:11,912
that. You were in London for a while after, because

1387
01:23:12,132 --> 01:23:13,894
the first time I ever met you in person was

1388
01:23:13,954 --> 01:23:16,856
in London. When you brought your son to London. I

1389
01:23:16,936 --> 01:23:18,457
brought my son and you showed me that you were

1390
01:23:18,517 --> 01:23:20,698
carrying like a piece of gold on you or something

1391
01:23:20,718 --> 01:23:23,020
like that. I was like, what's with this dude? Hey

1392
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,862
man, I got an ounce of gold on me just

1393
01:23:25,882 --> 01:23:28,343
in case, just in case it all goes to crap,

1394
01:23:28,423 --> 01:23:35,088
man. I got my gold. Well, so, So John is

1395
01:23:35,168 --> 01:23:41,052
really kind of the common denominator, the connector between us

1396
01:23:41,152 --> 01:23:46,095
two. Yep, exactly. And of course, we attended your wedding

1397
01:23:46,155 --> 01:23:49,458
with your pretty. Yes. And we spent other times together.

1398
01:23:49,478 --> 01:23:51,479
I never really spent a lot of time with John

1399
01:23:51,599 --> 01:23:54,041
personally because we spent all this time weekly. I think

1400
01:23:54,081 --> 01:23:55,642
the same thing with you. I mean, we got together

1401
01:23:55,722 --> 01:23:59,104
here and there, maybe literally in our lifetimes, maybe if

1402
01:23:59,124 --> 01:24:00,966
it was four times, it was a lot. You know,

1403
01:24:01,486 --> 01:24:07,090
just about the wedding. remember this so I said John

1404
01:24:07,210 --> 01:24:09,091
you got to come you know you named her the

1405
01:24:09,151 --> 01:24:12,133
keeper you got to come to the wedding then you

1406
01:24:12,213 --> 01:24:13,634
and Mimi both got to come so the first of

1407
01:24:13,654 --> 01:24:16,436
all they came on separate flights like okay whatever and

1408
01:24:16,496 --> 01:24:19,318
then you know we had a like a for friends

1409
01:24:19,378 --> 01:24:21,820
and family kind of come by the house hang out

1410
01:24:21,860 --> 01:24:23,981
a little bit and it was from I don't know

1411
01:24:24,061 --> 01:24:26,943
from six to eight and like at five minutes to

1412
01:24:27,103 --> 01:24:31,266
eight John shows up in a rental car he comes

1413
01:24:31,406 --> 01:24:33,287
in hey hey hey how you doing oh I thought

1414
01:24:33,287 --> 01:24:35,069
it was starting at Oh, yeah. Hey, you got a

1415
01:24:35,129 --> 01:24:38,231
TV? I got to watch the game. Yeah. I remember.

1416
01:24:38,271 --> 01:24:41,733
And he starts watching the game. And he wasn't quite

1417
01:24:41,793 --> 01:24:45,175
in party clothes, if I remember correctly. No, no, no,

1418
01:24:45,216 --> 01:24:48,618
not at all. And that was John, you know. That

1419
01:24:48,618 --> 01:24:52,460
was John. That was John. It's just, man, I don't

1420
01:24:52,480 --> 01:24:55,823
know about you, because we're in a unique situation. We

1421
01:24:55,983 --> 01:24:59,505
both. I did a very long running podcast with him.

1422
01:25:00,566 --> 01:25:06,070
And... For me, it's like... People have to understand, and

1423
01:25:06,090 --> 01:25:08,311
I'm sure it was the same with you. It wasn't

1424
01:25:08,351 --> 01:25:11,013
like Adam and John sat down and played some clips

1425
01:25:11,073 --> 01:25:15,976
and did a show. It was... I mean, honestly, my

1426
01:25:16,096 --> 01:25:19,599
whole mission most of the time was... I want to

1427
01:25:19,619 --> 01:25:22,661
either make him laugh or I want to say something

1428
01:25:22,701 --> 01:25:25,703
that he thinks is really cool or good. That was

1429
01:25:25,883 --> 01:25:29,365
really most of the show to me. And, you know,

1430
01:25:29,465 --> 01:25:33,168
and I love arguing or pushing back or, you know,

1431
01:25:33,588 --> 01:25:37,051
any of that stuff. But it. And I was like,

1432
01:25:37,111 --> 01:25:39,632
I'm at a loss now. It's like, I am so

1433
01:25:39,812 --> 01:25:42,094
at a loss as to what to do. I don't

1434
01:25:42,114 --> 01:25:45,136
know how you feel, but I'm like, you can't just

1435
01:25:45,216 --> 01:25:48,098
plug someone in and say, oh, this is DH unplugged

1436
01:25:48,178 --> 01:25:50,400
or this is no agenda. You just can't do that.

1437
01:25:50,460 --> 01:25:54,142
Nope. Nope. For the audience, by the way, we're going

1438
01:25:54,142 --> 01:25:55,943
to figure out something. I'm not sure what that's going

1439
01:25:55,943 --> 01:25:58,765
to be, and we just put on on dhmplugs.com, we

1440
01:25:58,845 --> 01:26:00,907
put a new link right on the front page, actually,

1441
01:26:00,947 --> 01:26:04,729
to get on the mailing list, the newsletter, in case

1442
01:26:04,789 --> 01:26:08,532
somebody wants to not be lost about this. We'll have

1443
01:26:08,632 --> 01:26:10,433
updates of what's happening on that. Next week, I think

1444
01:26:10,433 --> 01:26:13,475
we're going to have JC on the show. Welcome back.

1445
01:26:13,555 --> 01:26:15,537
Oh, that's nice. And I think Mimi wants to come

1446
01:26:15,597 --> 01:26:18,639
on and say a few things too. But definitely, JC,

1447
01:26:19,159 --> 01:26:21,080
the audience liked him. So we'll see what goes on

1448
01:26:21,140 --> 01:26:24,763
with that. And I know, I think I know that...

1449
01:26:25,884 --> 01:26:28,706
John would like something to continue. I don't know what

1450
01:26:28,766 --> 01:26:30,106
it is. I don't know what it looks like. I

1451
01:26:30,167 --> 01:26:33,749
don't know how it's going to play, but I know

1452
01:26:33,789 --> 01:26:37,872
that he wants the show to go on, right? You

1453
01:26:37,892 --> 01:26:39,673
know, I was thinking about, John, all the different things

1454
01:26:40,233 --> 01:26:42,935
that... I loved about him. And one of the things

1455
01:26:42,935 --> 01:26:44,316
that annoyed the crap out of me, but which was

1456
01:26:44,416 --> 01:26:48,979
great. Always, always. We're talking on the show and I

1457
01:26:49,039 --> 01:26:51,281
would talk about something and I'd stop trying to get

1458
01:26:51,281 --> 01:26:55,323
any response from him and I'd be... This pregnant pause.

1459
01:26:55,404 --> 01:27:00,107
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The long pause. Do I get

1460
01:27:00,247 --> 01:27:02,128
in there? Do I get in there? Do I say

1461
01:27:02,128 --> 01:27:04,450
something? Did you ever get this in the early days

1462
01:27:04,570 --> 01:27:08,232
of Bluetooth headsets? People would email me and say, you

1463
01:27:08,272 --> 01:27:10,954
know, when you guys have that long pause, my Bluetooth

1464
01:27:11,074 --> 01:27:15,677
headset disconnects. Oh, God. And I started to find that

1465
01:27:15,717 --> 01:27:17,839
to be a feature. I'm like, oh, this is kind

1466
01:27:17,879 --> 01:27:20,100
of cool. And we have a pause, which is very,

1467
01:27:20,761 --> 01:27:25,884
you don't hear many pauses in podcasts. or radio, you

1468
01:27:25,884 --> 01:27:29,447
know, people always trying to fill the gaps. I started

1469
01:27:29,507 --> 01:27:32,409
to really enjoy it. Like, oh yeah, I want people

1470
01:27:32,509 --> 01:27:35,130
to be like, did my phone just stop? They looked

1471
01:27:35,190 --> 01:27:36,912
out and then all of a sudden a voice would

1472
01:27:36,952 --> 01:27:39,794
come. I love that. We both, John and I both,

1473
01:27:40,214 --> 01:27:43,336
we discussed it many times. I love the silence. Silence

1474
01:27:43,396 --> 01:27:49,940
is so powerful. Good job. Very good, Andrew. Very good.

1475
01:27:50,141 --> 01:27:55,184
Good job. I love you, man. No, but he would

1476
01:27:55,204 --> 01:27:57,285
do that. And I would be, I was, I'm always

1477
01:27:57,305 --> 01:27:58,786
off-sided when he does that. Like, do I go to

1478
01:27:58,846 --> 01:28:02,489
the next story? Should I, should I say something to

1479
01:28:02,549 --> 01:28:04,911
say, John? So I ended up going, so what do

1480
01:28:04,931 --> 01:28:07,192
you think? You know, I'd have to wait. John, what's

1481
01:28:07,412 --> 01:28:09,033
your take on that? I mean, you know, what do

1482
01:28:09,154 --> 01:28:11,955
you, or, or, or the best, which is usually what

1483
01:28:11,995 --> 01:28:14,217
would happen is I'd go to the next story and

1484
01:28:14,257 --> 01:28:16,799
all of a sudden, chirp up. He's talking about the

1485
01:28:16,839 --> 01:28:18,680
other story. I'm like, oh, okay. We'll go back to

1486
01:28:18,740 --> 01:28:21,842
that. Yeah. So there's the one thing that I feel

1487
01:28:21,902 --> 01:28:24,424
that you and I have in common. a lot of

1488
01:28:24,444 --> 01:28:31,449
things in common. We understood. John for who he was

1489
01:28:31,649 --> 01:28:35,151
and what he was. And I think in general that

1490
01:28:35,211 --> 01:28:41,676
the mass audiences didn't understand him does that make any

1491
01:28:41,735 --> 01:28:45,458
sense yeah i mean i i think a lot of

1492
01:28:45,458 --> 01:28:47,539
people saw him as a or maybe i should say

1493
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:52,463
not the mass audiences but the the the big broadcasters

1494
01:28:52,843 --> 01:28:56,846
no they definitely not understand him they did not get

1495
01:28:56,866 --> 01:29:00,848
the humor they did not see the uniqueness right that's

1496
01:29:00,848 --> 01:29:05,251
clear and john was a broadcaster man we we talked

1497
01:29:05,332 --> 01:29:10,155
about levels and compression and And we talked about this

1498
01:29:10,175 --> 01:29:15,258
stuff all the time. He really, really understood broadcasting extremely

1499
01:29:15,318 --> 01:29:23,424
well. He was... dead again. He would be on the

1500
01:29:23,464 --> 01:29:25,705
show and he's like, I think I have to reboot.

1501
01:29:25,805 --> 01:29:29,007
My computer's not working. My mic's not on. There's that.

1502
01:29:31,129 --> 01:29:33,771
You know, there was always something going on with that.

1503
01:29:33,791 --> 01:29:37,693
The mic doesn't work. Get closer. He's over-modulating. My show,

1504
01:29:37,833 --> 01:29:39,495
I don't know what the story was, but every time

1505
01:29:39,515 --> 01:29:44,958
we'd come on through the opening. Yeah, the opening of

1506
01:29:45,859 --> 01:29:49,762
the show. He'd come on and he'd say, I'm John

1507
01:29:49,822 --> 01:29:53,904
C. Dvorak. The opening would come and all of a

1508
01:29:53,944 --> 01:29:56,106
sudden he'd just chime in out of nowhere. I said,

1509
01:29:56,126 --> 01:29:58,407
what's going on? He goes, I didn't hear the opening.

1510
01:29:58,447 --> 01:29:59,628
I'm like, what do you mean?

1511
01:30:00,780 --> 01:30:02,401
And I guess there was a setting that was not

1512
01:30:02,461 --> 01:30:04,342
right on my system or something. I'm like, how long

1513
01:30:04,342 --> 01:30:06,384
is that going on? And he would just guess, oh,

1514
01:30:06,424 --> 01:30:09,266
I'll start here. He goes, I don't know if the

1515
01:30:09,286 --> 01:30:11,367
last month or so. I'm like, what? And this is

1516
01:30:11,427 --> 01:30:14,529
something I can only discuss with you. What drove me

1517
01:30:14,749 --> 01:30:20,293
crazy. is he never wore headphones. I know, I know.

1518
01:30:21,054 --> 01:30:24,096
You and I are crazy audiophiles, right? Yes, yes. The

1519
01:30:24,196 --> 01:30:25,917
sound's got to be just right, our setting, we have

1520
01:30:25,937 --> 01:30:28,319
to have the big bass, the aural exciter, the whole

1521
01:30:28,399 --> 01:30:30,920
thing, the compression. Right, we have all of that stuff.

1522
01:30:31,341 --> 01:30:34,443
And John's got his, you know, Heil PR-40 that he

1523
01:30:34,503 --> 01:30:36,804
loves, which I'm looking at one that I bought. I

1524
01:30:36,804 --> 01:30:38,285
bought that one because he had it, and I got

1525
01:30:38,686 --> 01:30:41,748
the voice, electro voice, because you got it, that I'm

1526
01:30:41,828 --> 01:30:43,709
talking about right now. But he would talk on that,

1527
01:30:44,550 --> 01:30:47,091
but he would come on. And it would be like

1528
01:30:47,131 --> 01:30:54,016
this. What happened? Where is that? If it would come

1529
01:30:54,076 --> 01:30:55,637
out, the rest of the show would be fine. Between

1530
01:30:55,717 --> 01:31:00,160
your show and our show, he'd come on Thursday's show

1531
01:31:00,380 --> 01:31:05,624
after the Tuesday's show, and it would be like, and

1532
01:31:05,664 --> 01:31:13,109
then invariably, it would be completely digitized. He'd sound like,

1533
01:31:13,369 --> 01:31:17,732
but it's always the same answer. I didn't change anything.

1534
01:31:17,732 --> 01:31:22,375
Nothing. Nothing's changed. Turn down your speakers! It's a goddamn

1535
01:31:22,455 --> 01:31:25,697
Windows show. The Windows machine. This window machine. Oh, how

1536
01:31:25,717 --> 01:31:28,439
about this? It must have done an update. Yeah. It

1537
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:35,564
was always something. It was always something. I just love

1538
01:31:35,664 --> 01:31:42,149
seeing the outpouring of people. How many people just... you

1539
01:31:42,209 --> 01:31:44,430
know, they're shocked. I mean, you and I are shocked.

1540
01:31:44,510 --> 01:31:51,575
Everybody's shocked, but the degree of people just going, wait

1541
01:31:51,655 --> 01:31:54,297
a minute. No, no, no, no. This guy was a

1542
01:31:54,337 --> 01:31:57,079
part of my life. He's a part of my, of

1543
01:31:57,159 --> 01:32:00,681
my week. Like, no, no, no. This can't be. It's,

1544
01:32:01,041 --> 01:32:06,365
it's really. Heartwarming to see. Because, you know, John was

1545
01:32:06,445 --> 01:32:12,109
polarizing. And people email me about Dvorak and people email

1546
01:32:12,189 --> 01:32:16,712
him, hey, Curry. But those same people are like, oh,

1547
01:32:16,932 --> 01:32:20,775
wow, what just happened here? I think my hope with

1548
01:32:21,075 --> 01:32:23,957
this is always... Now, this is, by the way, the

1549
01:32:23,957 --> 01:32:25,838
second friend that I've lost in the last month or

1550
01:32:25,878 --> 01:32:28,520
so. The last friend had cancer. He was 65 years

1551
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:33,824
old. And I hope... Seriously, I know that these things

1552
01:32:33,864 --> 01:32:36,025
could be those moments that are just like you have

1553
01:32:36,045 --> 01:32:39,928
that inner thought and you have that ability to start

1554
01:32:39,948 --> 01:32:43,170
to do some introspection and looking at your life. But

1555
01:32:43,190 --> 01:32:46,452
I hope that it lasts, that people recognize that not

1556
01:32:46,532 --> 01:32:48,493
only how great John was, that we know that, but

1557
01:32:48,834 --> 01:32:51,636
how short life is. He was 74 years old. Well,

1558
01:32:51,996 --> 01:32:56,239
OK. So you probably don't know the story, so I

1559
01:32:56,299 --> 01:33:00,742
should probably let you know. And this will be discussed,

1560
01:33:01,082 --> 01:33:05,925
may have already been discussed in our... in our live

1561
01:33:06,005 --> 01:33:11,889
show here. When we started doing birthdays, I can't remember

1562
01:33:11,909 --> 01:33:15,272
exactly how I found out, but I found out that

1563
01:33:15,352 --> 01:33:20,415
John was... really six years older than he claimed to

1564
01:33:20,475 --> 01:33:24,678
be. And he told me, he said, no, no, you

1565
01:33:24,738 --> 01:33:29,741
have to understand that Wired Magazine once wrote down my

1566
01:33:29,862 --> 01:33:33,624
birth date incorrectly and the New York Times just copied

1567
01:33:33,664 --> 01:33:36,786
that without fact checking. And he said several times, so

1568
01:33:36,886 --> 01:33:39,428
if I die before you, you need to call out

1569
01:33:39,448 --> 01:33:43,351
the New York Times as bull crap. And so every

1570
01:33:43,431 --> 01:33:46,993
year when his birthday came around. And we do a

1571
01:33:47,053 --> 01:33:50,255
donation for the number. I would always say after the

1572
01:33:50,295 --> 01:33:52,377
show, you know, if you weren't a liar about your

1573
01:33:52,477 --> 01:33:55,739
age, we'd be making more money. Oh, God. So, yeah,

1574
01:33:55,779 --> 01:33:59,682
he was 80. He was 80. And I've told some

1575
01:33:59,762 --> 01:34:02,884
close friends over the years, like, what? I said, oh,

1576
01:34:02,944 --> 01:34:06,466
yeah, you have no idea. This guy is spry. And

1577
01:34:06,886 --> 01:34:08,928
I think our shows kept him, you know, kept him

1578
01:34:08,928 --> 01:34:13,651
that way, too. Kept him active and busy and doing

1579
01:34:13,731 --> 01:34:19,135
stuff. But, yeah, he was 80. Shocked to hear that?

1580
01:34:19,195 --> 01:34:21,296
You didn't know, right? I know. I'm trying to look

1581
01:34:21,336 --> 01:34:22,837
up his... I actually have his age right here, but

1582
01:34:23,037 --> 01:34:25,259
I can't seem to get into my system to do

1583
01:34:25,299 --> 01:34:28,021
this right now. Oh, because you have some financial documents?

1584
01:34:28,641 --> 01:34:30,803
Yes. Yeah, it was from 46. Oh, here we go.

1585
01:34:30,903 --> 01:34:33,324
Here we go. I should go in. Oh, now I

1586
01:34:33,425 --> 01:34:35,786
got to... Now you're going to fact check me? Authenticator,

1587
01:34:35,846 --> 01:34:38,328
I got to do that. Trust me, trust me, trust

1588
01:34:38,408 --> 01:34:40,729
me. And it was still young, no matter how well

1589
01:34:40,729 --> 01:34:43,211
you slice it. Of course, of course it is. The

1590
01:34:43,271 --> 01:34:46,293
point I'm making here is that life is really short.

1591
01:34:46,533 --> 01:34:48,655
It's short. Really short. And if you don't think it

1592
01:34:48,715 --> 01:34:51,297
is, trust me, it starts speeding up. It's freaking July

1593
01:34:51,397 --> 01:34:53,838
already. Yeah, no kidding. It's speeding up like crazy. Things

1594
01:34:53,898 --> 01:34:57,941
are happening. The sitting on the couch and just, you

1595
01:34:57,961 --> 01:35:00,063
know, doing nothing during the day and not making a

1596
01:35:00,123 --> 01:35:02,084
mark on this earth. I mean, John made a mark.

1597
01:35:02,164 --> 01:35:04,726
whether it's his theoretical vinegar book that he's going to

1598
01:35:04,766 --> 01:35:07,387
put out or his other cycle books that maybe will

1599
01:35:07,427 --> 01:35:09,489
come out one day or whatever it is. But he

1600
01:35:09,569 --> 01:35:14,572
made a mark. Was it the depression book? Yeah, a

1601
01:35:14,592 --> 01:35:16,594
lot of books. A lot of books that are in

1602
01:35:16,654 --> 01:35:20,957
the works. You know, there's so many things I appreciated

1603
01:35:20,997 --> 01:35:23,638
about him. He got me into ham radio. I love

1604
01:35:23,698 --> 01:35:29,663
that, that he got me into ham radio. But his

1605
01:35:29,803 --> 01:35:32,745
incessant, no, I got the phone in a drawer. And

1606
01:35:32,885 --> 01:35:35,747
now when I drive around town, I use a map,

1607
01:35:35,887 --> 01:35:39,209
you know, or I drive from memory. That was just

1608
01:35:39,329 --> 01:35:42,071
one of those things that made him so, so unique.

1609
01:35:43,092 --> 01:35:45,273
And I always took that to heart. You know, he

1610
01:35:45,433 --> 01:35:47,455
taught me a lot. I think he taught me a

1611
01:35:47,495 --> 01:35:50,637
lot more than I ever taught him. And it's, you

1612
01:35:51,417 --> 01:35:57,001
know, he was definitely, he definitely. I could say. definitively

1613
01:35:57,041 --> 01:36:00,824
that he left his mark on that's why you're getting

1614
01:36:00,824 --> 01:36:02,425
this outpouring right it wasn't just a guy oh so

1615
01:36:02,525 --> 01:36:06,107
sad that's not the point people are genuinely upset that

1616
01:36:06,147 --> 01:36:08,589
have never met him that spent time because they taught

1617
01:36:08,889 --> 01:36:13,072
he taught uh how to how to think, how to

1618
01:36:13,152 --> 01:36:16,834
question, how to, how to, you know, be a mensch,

1619
01:36:17,635 --> 01:36:21,217
a person of class, a, a, a good family man.

1620
01:36:21,638 --> 01:36:24,560
And just, you know, the whole, the whole, his whole

1621
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:28,302
way of being, listen, he has flaws. We know that.

1622
01:36:28,362 --> 01:36:29,903
Okay. We can talk about those too, but his way

1623
01:36:29,943 --> 01:36:33,586
of being and how he gave back his whole education

1624
01:36:33,786 --> 01:36:37,669
of others, passing it along and creating, leaving things in

1625
01:36:37,689 --> 01:36:40,370
a better way than he found them. Yes. I think,

1626
01:36:40,511 --> 01:36:43,573
I think was, was great. And it's an incredible lesson

1627
01:36:43,673 --> 01:36:45,554
for all of us. And it's a time, if you

1628
01:36:45,754 --> 01:36:47,555
are touched by this, if you are moved by this,

1629
01:36:47,895 --> 01:36:49,957
this is coming from Rabbi Horowitz now. If you are.

1630
01:36:50,737 --> 01:36:54,200
Oi, I'm sitting shiver with the rabbi. You should only

1631
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:59,964
know the shonda of all this. The shonda. So the

1632
01:37:00,024 --> 01:37:02,986
thing is that if we take this moment and absorb

1633
01:37:03,066 --> 01:37:07,229
it as a learning moment and a recognition of the

1634
01:37:07,289 --> 01:37:11,872
fragility of life, I think it's extraordinarily important to, what

1635
01:37:12,352 --> 01:37:14,413
am I doing all this for? I'm screwing around with,

1636
01:37:14,413 --> 01:37:16,034
I don't know, whatever you're doing, right? Well, I'm screwing

1637
01:37:16,034 --> 01:37:18,236
around with this, wasting my time doing that. Who am

1638
01:37:18,256 --> 01:37:20,277
I helping? What am I doing? Where is it going?

1639
01:37:20,357 --> 01:37:23,259
Is it just, you know, is it mental masturbation or

1640
01:37:23,319 --> 01:37:25,721
is it something that can actually help? I know that

1641
01:37:26,261 --> 01:37:27,562
for me, there was a few things I've done in

1642
01:37:27,582 --> 01:37:31,805
my life that I'm like, okay, say that that is

1643
01:37:31,865 --> 01:37:35,207
something that can be passed on that, you know. future

1644
01:37:35,247 --> 01:37:40,771
generations I can educate, help, and impart some information. Be

1645
01:37:40,851 --> 01:37:44,013
a part of that. I think people should recognize that

1646
01:37:44,054 --> 01:37:47,616
from John and take that as his parting gift. Oh,

1647
01:37:47,656 --> 01:37:50,258
that's really good. That's rich. I love that. For me,

1648
01:37:50,378 --> 01:37:53,620
it's also along those lines. The guy you think is

1649
01:37:53,660 --> 01:37:56,822
the kook or the weirdo or the oddball is the

1650
01:37:56,862 --> 01:37:59,184
guy you're going to learn the most from. Then the

1651
01:37:59,244 --> 01:38:02,446
guy or gal you should pay attention to because these

1652
01:38:02,486 --> 01:38:04,667
are the people that often, you know, they don't toe

1653
01:38:04,768 --> 01:38:08,530
the line. They don't maybe fit in. They might wear

1654
01:38:08,690 --> 01:38:12,913
Crocs. I'm sorry, Speedos, whatever brand it was. It was

1655
01:38:13,013 --> 01:38:18,197
Crocs as far as I'm concerned. You guys invested in

1656
01:38:18,297 --> 01:38:20,878
Crocs, too. That was crazy. Yeah, we had our issues.

1657
01:38:20,938 --> 01:38:24,881
By the way. You want to know something interesting? I'll

1658
01:38:24,901 --> 01:38:26,642
tell you something interesting. Usually I'm kind of like, I

1659
01:38:26,762 --> 01:38:29,404
don't talk a lot about my stuff, my things. He

1660
01:38:29,504 --> 01:38:31,145
brought that all out of me. I was very comfortable

1661
01:38:31,786 --> 01:38:34,288
talking about how all these issues that I had, and

1662
01:38:34,368 --> 01:38:36,509
he knew them all, right? We would talk about something.

1663
01:38:36,509 --> 01:38:38,130
Oh, you're going to the airport. People are going to

1664
01:38:38,130 --> 01:38:39,571
take off their shoes and walk through the line, and

1665
01:38:39,591 --> 01:38:43,394
you're going to freak out. You know, he's... I'm like,

1666
01:38:43,394 --> 01:38:46,236
yes, that is true. You know? Oh, we'd have, we'd

1667
01:38:46,256 --> 01:38:48,797
talk about recipes. Like we'd have this financial show and

1668
01:38:48,797 --> 01:38:50,178
all of a sudden I'm like, can I tell you

1669
01:38:50,218 --> 01:38:53,781
about this turkey that I made last night? Yeah. Yeah.

1670
01:38:53,861 --> 01:38:56,142
So it was great. It was very comfortable. And he

1671
01:38:56,182 --> 01:38:58,484
was that way. It was like, you know, he would

1672
01:38:58,504 --> 01:39:00,385
tell you like, like, I'd be like, what do you

1673
01:39:00,385 --> 01:39:03,347
think of that? He'd be like, not so good. Yeah.

1674
01:39:03,367 --> 01:39:06,169
Okay. No thanks. Okay. But move on. You know, he

1675
01:39:06,229 --> 01:39:13,134
was just a loving person, wonderful person. It's devastating. rest

1676
01:39:13,194 --> 01:39:15,916
of the world that listened to the thousands, the hundreds

1677
01:39:15,916 --> 01:39:18,898
of thousands of people, millions of people that listened to

1678
01:39:18,978 --> 01:39:21,740
his cranky geeks and going back to tech TV and

1679
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,281
Wired and the time he was on Leo Laporte and

1680
01:39:24,301 --> 01:39:26,243
all the stuff that he did. I mean, it's just

1681
01:39:26,823 --> 01:39:29,945
incredible. I have so much to thank for, you know,

1682
01:39:30,686 --> 01:39:34,128
when he was on Twit. And then, you know, and

1683
01:39:34,208 --> 01:39:36,269
we started like, let's do the show. And let's do

1684
01:39:36,309 --> 01:39:38,591
it right after Twit on Sundays. Okay, we'll do it

1685
01:39:38,651 --> 01:39:42,293
after Twit. And we would always talk about it, like,

1686
01:39:42,354 --> 01:39:44,495
do you think we've taken all of Leo's audience yet?

1687
01:39:44,535 --> 01:39:46,556
He says, no, I got to go on a couple

1688
01:39:46,596 --> 01:39:51,199
more times. Yeah, yeah. I think that's where most people

1689
01:39:51,199 --> 01:39:53,121
say, oh, no, I heard about No Agenda on Twitter.

1690
01:39:53,141 --> 01:39:56,243
Oh, you heard about Twitter. He just got it. He

1691
01:39:56,563 --> 01:40:00,086
understood that so well. Listen, I got people that are

1692
01:40:00,106 --> 01:40:02,367
client stuff, and all of a sudden they're like, you

1693
01:40:02,367 --> 01:40:08,711
know, they'll write me out of nowhere, and they'll be

1694
01:40:08,771 --> 01:40:13,735
like, ITM. I'm like, hey. intersected and also how John

1695
01:40:13,855 --> 01:40:15,756
was compartmentalized like now I don't want to talk about

1696
01:40:15,776 --> 01:40:17,297
we talked about that in Horowitz and I'm sure he

1697
01:40:17,357 --> 01:40:20,679
did similar stuff with or the little pick the fights

1698
01:40:20,699 --> 01:40:22,621
that he oh you didn't listen this week Adam talked

1699
01:40:22,621 --> 01:40:25,343
a lot about you I'm like oh yeah well John

1700
01:40:25,343 --> 01:40:27,884
and I were usually in cahoots about that yeah do

1701
01:40:27,944 --> 01:40:29,786
that do that do that say that say that you

1702
01:40:29,786 --> 01:40:31,747
didn't listen what do you mean I'm listening to like

1703
01:40:32,147 --> 01:40:34,649
12 hours on a Sunday I'm like I don't hear

1704
01:40:34,689 --> 01:40:36,550
them talking about me I don't know where is this

1705
01:40:38,952 --> 01:40:42,454
so anyway great stuff He was with me through Three

1706
01:40:42,534 --> 01:40:48,578
Wives. Well, you got me beat on that. Yes. I

1707
01:40:48,658 --> 01:40:52,121
remember how sad he was when... Tina and I got

1708
01:40:52,141 --> 01:40:55,603
together. He was like, oh, oh, I thought I could

1709
01:40:55,643 --> 01:40:59,506
have lived through you vicariously with your bachelorhood. Oh, oh,

1710
01:40:59,546 --> 01:41:04,589
oh. He was mad about it. Yeah, yeah. So, anyway.

1711
01:41:04,589 --> 01:41:07,091
Great guy. Loved wine. Loved wine. Yes, he did. He

1712
01:41:07,151 --> 01:41:09,573
had quite the palate. I sent him a case of

1713
01:41:09,613 --> 01:41:12,575
wine one year, a really fine case of wine. And

1714
01:41:13,455 --> 01:41:15,296
then like three years later, I sent him another case

1715
01:41:15,356 --> 01:41:17,538
of wine. I literally don't think he's ever drank any

1716
01:41:17,558 --> 01:41:19,859
of it. He was waiting. He was waiting. I'm not

1717
01:41:19,859 --> 01:41:21,601
sure what he was waiting for, but he was waiting.

1718
01:41:21,621 --> 01:41:24,302
Yeah, he had a lot of wine. And we had

1719
01:41:24,343 --> 01:41:25,663
that one. Let me just bring this other thing up.

1720
01:41:25,724 --> 01:41:27,705
We had this. Do you remember? You remember. I know

1721
01:41:27,705 --> 01:41:29,986
you remember. I think we should talk about this. We

1722
01:41:30,086 --> 01:41:33,689
had a really creepy moment with John and his family.

1723
01:41:35,230 --> 01:41:43,135
Oh, thanksgiving! Yeah, I'll set the stage. Hey, we're going

1724
01:41:43,155 --> 01:41:46,558
to do a Thanksgiving. It'll be the Horowitz and the

1725
01:41:46,578 --> 01:41:50,860
Currys and the Dvoraks. And we're like, okay, all right.

1726
01:41:50,941 --> 01:41:53,923
And they set up a Zoom call. And it was

1727
01:41:54,023 --> 01:41:58,225
the most uncomfortable, weirdest thing. And I think, was Mimi,

1728
01:41:59,046 --> 01:42:01,027
was she there? Was she in Washington? It was like

1729
01:42:01,047 --> 01:42:03,749
John set the people up around the table and had

1730
01:42:03,989 --> 01:42:05,971
guns pointed at him and said, don't move. And they

1731
01:42:06,011 --> 01:42:11,334
were just sitting there. It was the weirdest thing ever.

1732
01:42:11,534 --> 01:42:14,817
Well, we appreciate the family vibe, but this is like,

1733
01:42:15,297 --> 01:42:18,359
what was this? Yeah, this is weird, man. Should we

1734
01:42:18,459 --> 01:42:21,581
all eat turkey now on the Zoom together? It's like,

1735
01:42:21,601 --> 01:42:24,683
what are we doing? It was well-meant. I know it

1736
01:42:24,743 --> 01:42:29,427
was well-meant. I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great stuff. Great

1737
01:42:29,487 --> 01:42:31,888
stuff. Anyway. Well, you'll go on. You'll get something going.

1738
01:42:31,928 --> 01:42:34,190
People should make sure. Listen, I'm going to just do

1739
01:42:34,430 --> 01:42:36,491

I'm not going to go on any of those cruises

01:43:14,697 --> 01:43:18,380
with you guys. That's pretty much a no-go. I don't

1754
01:43:18,420 --> 01:43:21,382
want norovirus. I can't believe you never had it. Not

yet. But I really appreciate you coming on to just

1758
01:43:34,811 --> 01:43:39,694
course. Yes. Long-time listener, first-time caller. I'd like to deduce

1759
01:43:39,734 --> 01:43:44,357
you, Andrew. You've been deduced. Finally. I don't think you

1760
01:43:44,397 --> 01:43:47,780
were ever properly deduced. I was never. You know what?

1761
01:43:48,100 --> 01:43:51,202
I feel like the lightness of the weight off my

1762
01:43:51,242 --> 01:43:55,405
shoulders is gone. Thank you. All right, brother. We'll talk

1763
01:43:55,505 --> 01:43:58,427
soon. All right. I'll see you. Okay. Thanks. There you

1764
01:43:58,507 --> 01:44:03,130
go. Andrew Horowitz. Appreciate him coming on. You had to

1765
01:44:03,230 --> 01:44:08,213
remind me of the Thanksgiving. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Andrew

1766
01:44:08,293 --> 01:44:10,615
brought it up, not me. I had nothing to do

1767
01:44:10,635 --> 01:44:13,637
with it. I want to give Marty and Dana the

1768
01:44:13,677 --> 01:44:17,700
opportunity to give us their parting thoughts as we're about

1769
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:24,304
to go thank 750 people. because that is the number

1770
01:44:24,344 --> 01:44:29,108
of people who have sent in notes and donations. So

1771
01:44:29,448 --> 01:44:32,470
Marty, you want to kick it off here? Yeah, I'd

1772
01:44:32,510 --> 01:44:36,533
like to just wrap it up with this. After John

1773
01:44:36,633 --> 01:44:41,096
had his heart surgery, we started talking a lot on

1774
01:44:41,156 --> 01:44:44,098
the phone because I was set up to go into

1775
01:44:44,198 --> 01:44:47,700
it too. And one month ago, I had a pretty

1776
01:44:47,780 --> 01:44:52,023
complex open heart. And John went step by step through

1777
01:44:52,123 --> 01:44:55,586
everything and kept my spirits up. And he was a

1778
01:44:55,666 --> 01:44:58,147
shining light in my life when things were pretty low.

1779
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:03,522
ever forget that he's a wonderful part of my life

1780
01:45:03,682 --> 01:45:08,565
god bless him Thank you, Marty. That's beautiful. Thank you.

1781
01:45:09,166 --> 01:45:17,171
Dana? Yeah. John, I mean, it's funny because, and Adam,

1782
01:45:17,531 --> 01:45:19,673
I told you this the other day, I believe, when

1783
01:45:19,713 --> 01:45:22,975
I was speaking with Mimi and her family the other

1784
01:45:23,035 --> 01:45:28,319
night and with Alex. Alex brought up... And this is

1785
01:45:28,399 --> 01:45:31,000
my wife saying this. She's like, I don't understand why

1786
01:45:31,081 --> 01:45:34,943
he took such a liking to you. I said it

1787
01:45:35,423 --> 01:45:41,688
was because we're both assholes. And Mimi chimed in and

1788
01:45:41,728 --> 01:45:44,870
said, well, you're both very opinionated. And it made me

1789
01:45:45,510 --> 01:45:51,274
really think, John was very opinionated, but everybody's opinionated, but

1790
01:45:51,354 --> 01:45:55,957
John, his opinion mattered. And you didn't have to agree

1791
01:45:56,057 --> 01:45:59,360
with it, but he always followed it with a why

1792
01:45:59,480 --> 01:46:03,582
or a history or a story or experience he had.

1793
01:46:04,223 --> 01:46:08,606
And so he backed up his opinion with... with data

1794
01:46:08,666 --> 01:46:11,848
and with details. And it wasn't just like, he told

1795
01:46:11,908 --> 01:46:16,912
you why he thought a certain way. And everything he

1796
01:46:16,952 --> 01:46:18,933
always said to me, it always resonated. And I didn't

1797
01:46:18,933 --> 01:46:21,054
necessarily agree with it all. I mean, a lot of

1798
01:46:21,134 --> 01:46:23,076
it, most of it, but even when I didn't, it

1799
01:46:23,176 --> 01:46:26,618
still resonated. And he always made me think and made

1800
01:46:26,678 --> 01:46:30,721
everybody think about. what he said, no matter if it

1801
01:46:30,821 --> 01:46:33,623
was, you know, like I said, if they agreed with

1802
01:46:33,743 --> 01:46:39,247
it or not. But, yeah, it's... I didn't think it

1803
01:46:39,287 --> 01:46:44,230
would hit me as hard as it has. Yeah. But

1804
01:46:44,490 --> 01:46:50,014
yeah, I'm... I understand. I think we all feel that

1805
01:46:50,094 --> 01:46:54,257
way and it comes in waves and it's just the

1806
01:46:54,417 --> 01:47:00,701
oddest thing. Yeah. So, yeah, and I'll just leave it

1807
01:47:00,741 --> 01:47:03,443
on the funny thing. The last call I had with

1808
01:47:03,483 --> 01:47:08,546
him before... I called with him and Mimi. was a

1809
01:47:08,627 --> 01:47:14,010
butt dial. He kept butt dialing me. And so finally

1810
01:47:14,070 --> 01:47:15,811
I was like, I gotta call him back and let

1811
01:47:15,851 --> 01:47:20,154
him know what he's doing. And uh... So I called

1812
01:47:20,174 --> 01:47:22,276
him and he answered it. Clearly he was busy doing

1813
01:47:22,336 --> 01:47:24,417
something. He's like, yeah, yeah, what's up? I'm like, John,

1814
01:47:24,477 --> 01:47:26,839
you keep butt-dialing me. He's like, oh, sorry about that.

1815
01:47:27,059 --> 01:47:32,703
And then just hung up. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So,

1816
01:47:33,363 --> 01:47:36,345
sorry, I didn't realize I'd get so emotional, but... Well,

1817
01:47:36,345 --> 01:47:38,367
you know, his butt had something to say to you.

1818
01:47:41,889 --> 01:47:45,191
It's very understandable, Dana. And thank you for being such

1819
01:47:45,211 --> 01:47:48,474
a good friend to him. Marty as well. And we'll

1820
01:47:48,514 --> 01:47:51,656
be seeing you out in Oakland, I think, on August

1821
01:47:51,776 --> 01:47:54,978
8th. Yes, indeed. And look forward to raising a glass.

1822
01:47:55,158 --> 01:47:58,380
That will be quite a pleasure to do that all

1823
01:47:58,440 --> 01:48:03,664
together. Yes. Indeed. Thank you, Adam. No, thank you. Thank

1824
01:48:03,724 --> 01:48:08,907
you, Dana. Thanks, Adam. And yeah, we'll all be talking

1825
01:48:09,047 --> 01:48:27,680
somehow, somewhere. Yeah. Okay. by donating to No Agenda. I

1826
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:31,122
just want to do a little troll count here. I

1827
01:48:31,222 --> 01:48:38,007
think we had 3,629 people listening simultaneously. Yeah, but you

1828
01:48:38,007 --> 01:48:39,928
know what John didn't say. Yeah, he says, it used

1829
01:48:39,968 --> 01:48:43,351
to be 4,000. It's low. We're down. We're down. We're

1830
01:48:43,411 --> 01:48:50,515
down. Absolutely. And I want to encourage everybody to send

1831
01:48:50,576 --> 01:48:55,359
me your favorite clips, anything that you like. We have

1832
01:48:55,639 --> 01:49:00,122
BingIt.io, which Sir Deenonymous has put together. He's actually just

1833
01:49:00,162 --> 01:49:04,045
like Void Zero. Void Zero has been adding servers during

1834
01:49:04,105 --> 01:49:08,147
the show. Everything was just so smoking hot. And Sir

1835
01:49:08,207 --> 01:49:11,890
Deenonymous also had to beef up his servers in order

1836
01:49:11,950 --> 01:49:15,232
to handle the amount of clips that people were selecting.

1837
01:49:15,933 --> 01:49:18,895
You can email those to me, adam.currie.com. You can email

1838
01:49:18,935 --> 01:49:23,318
a link or email the actual file. And we'll be

1839
01:49:23,838 --> 01:49:27,220
playing some of those on Sunday because, you know, one

1840
01:49:27,300 --> 01:49:31,403
show is just not enough for John. And not enough

1841
01:49:31,443 --> 01:49:35,306
for the amount of people who he touched and who

1842
01:49:35,406 --> 01:49:41,130
sent in donations. And we said we would thank everybody

1843
01:49:41,230 --> 01:49:44,052
who sent in 88 or above. We would read their

1844
01:49:44,092 --> 01:49:48,795
notes. And wow. I mean, I'm just blown away by.

1845
01:49:49,856 --> 01:49:52,858
uh the amount of people and it is quite interesting

1846
01:49:52,938 --> 01:49:56,960
that john planned this i think to be for show

1847
01:49:57,241 --> 01:50:01,163
one eight eight eight yes it's him and his numbers

1848
01:50:01,484 --> 01:50:05,406
it's beyond interesting well it also seems to have been

1849
01:50:05,406 --> 01:50:11,290
808 utc The time of death. Yeah. You would know

1850
01:50:11,370 --> 01:50:15,093
that, JC, wouldn't you? Yeah. He was with me. Yeah.

1851
01:50:15,193 --> 01:50:19,756
Yeah. I don't know if it's too painful to talk

1852
01:50:19,856 --> 01:50:24,839
about, but you put it in the newsletter. Would you

1853
01:50:24,899 --> 01:50:27,881
mind just describing those last moments because it is so

1854
01:50:28,101 --> 01:50:34,606
John. Well, Eric, with me, yeah. Eric wrote that entry

1855
01:50:34,686 --> 01:50:36,647
to the newsletter in the obits, and it was lovely.

1856
01:50:37,748 --> 01:50:41,811
Well, John, you know, we had a normal dinner. He

1857
01:50:41,871 --> 01:50:45,013
insisted I drink up some cognac. Why not? Oh, I've

1858
01:50:45,013 --> 01:50:49,096
got to finish this bottle. And we, you know, he

1859
01:50:49,416 --> 01:50:52,838
lectured me, you know, normal thing. We had deep conversation

1860
01:50:52,898 --> 01:50:54,960
like we always do, you know, all kinds of crazy

1861
01:50:55,040 --> 01:51:00,003
stuff. And, uh... And then I, you know, he was

1862
01:51:00,023 --> 01:51:01,904
going to just watch TV like you like to do.

1863
01:51:02,205 --> 01:51:04,366
And I went up to do some things, you know,

1864
01:51:04,686 --> 01:51:07,068
upstairs. And then he calls me and he goes, hey,

1865
01:51:07,128 --> 01:51:10,310
come on down here. So I came down and he

1866
01:51:10,370 --> 01:51:11,831
said, I think my blood sugar is low. And I

1867
01:51:11,891 --> 01:51:13,312
go, do you want me to call 911? Is this

1868
01:51:13,372 --> 01:51:15,614
like, he goes, no, no, no. He goes, you know,

1869
01:51:15,714 --> 01:51:19,596
hey, let me try some of that Mantuca honey. Oh,

1870
01:51:20,217 --> 01:51:23,639
the Manuka gold? The Manuka gold, because we just finally

1871
01:51:23,719 --> 01:51:26,841
opened the box. And I went, yeah. So he tries

1872
01:51:26,981 --> 01:51:30,324
it. And then we're watching. I don't know, an NCIS,

1873
01:51:30,464 --> 01:51:32,765
which I am not a huge fan of. And I

1874
01:51:32,865 --> 01:51:35,307
went, yeah, you know, that guy Tim, he's been on

1875
01:51:35,387 --> 01:51:37,569
it forever. And he's like, yeah, you know, you think

1876
01:51:37,609 --> 01:51:42,972
his acting would get better. And then, so I'm watching

1877
01:51:43,012 --> 01:51:45,034
TV. I'm not paying a whole lot of attention. I'm

1878
01:51:45,074 --> 01:51:46,515
kind of just waiting to see when he's going to

1879
01:51:46,695 --> 01:51:48,576
want to go to bed because it's close to midnight.

1880
01:51:49,597 --> 01:51:54,900
And he got really quiet, like really quiet. And I

1881
01:51:54,940 --> 01:51:59,483
looked over. And he checked out. You know, he was

1882
01:51:59,543 --> 01:52:05,287
just gone. So I, of course, panicked. You know, I

1883
01:52:05,467 --> 01:52:07,829
tried to wake him up. It was just clear he

1884
01:52:07,889 --> 01:52:16,115
wasn't there. So, um... You know, it was just, it

1885
01:52:16,175 --> 01:52:18,436
was very peaceful. That's the thing that got me, you

1886
01:52:18,476 --> 01:52:22,479
know, and it was also just impulsive. Like, like John

1887
01:52:22,539 --> 01:52:24,360
just does stuff when he felt like doing it. So

1888
01:52:24,440 --> 01:52:29,724
he just didn't clue me in. Typical. Yeah. And it

1889
01:52:29,804 --> 01:52:34,707
was an interesting, you know. I mean, I'm missing... you

1890
01:52:34,727 --> 01:52:41,432
know. usually don't tear up so much, but no, it's

1891
01:52:41,492 --> 01:52:44,214
just like the center of my world has just disappeared.

1892
01:52:45,214 --> 01:52:48,336
Well, you have a very, very big family to support

1893
01:52:48,416 --> 01:52:50,598
you. Yeah, well, we have, we, and John and I

1894
01:52:50,658 --> 01:52:53,700
had a very unique relationship. I mean, you know, one

1895
01:52:53,700 --> 01:52:55,401
reason we didn't live in the same house is because

1896
01:52:55,441 --> 01:52:59,364
he didn't like living with anybody and because he drove

1897
01:52:59,444 --> 01:53:02,686
me crazy. And it was much better than a murder

1898
01:53:02,746 --> 01:53:09,110
conviction. So... And, you know, the house here is rocky.

1899
01:53:09,171 --> 01:53:11,372
There's no way I could have dug a hole big

1900
01:53:11,432 --> 01:53:16,295
enough. So we talked like, you know, 10 times a

1901
01:53:16,335 --> 01:53:18,517
day. He was always having me do projects. I mean,

1902
01:53:18,597 --> 01:53:21,139
we really were kind of a unit. It's just that,

1903
01:53:21,179 --> 01:53:25,682
you know, we needed the distance. I understand. No one

1904
01:53:25,702 --> 01:53:28,864
understands what we did. So it was, yeah, I miss

1905
01:53:28,944 --> 01:53:32,246
him. I know. We all do. And the notes and

1906
01:53:33,167 --> 01:53:35,648
the Facebook posts and the things I've been hearing, people

1907
01:53:35,728 --> 01:53:38,070
are so lovely. And I really would like to thank

1908
01:53:38,210 --> 01:53:40,872
all of them. So I think we can thank the

1909
01:53:40,972 --> 01:53:44,795
ones that this, you know, we'll be probably talking until,

1910
01:53:44,855 --> 01:53:47,156
what, 6 p.m. tonight? Might be going for a little

1911
01:53:47,216 --> 01:53:51,199
bit. I will start us off with Dame Catherine Crypto

1912
01:53:51,279 --> 01:53:56,442
Granny of Bangkok. And she sent us $5,000. Wow. Which

1913
01:53:56,543 --> 01:54:03,908
is... helpful and very grateful for your generosity. She says,

1914
01:54:03,988 --> 01:54:06,609
I love John's stories and identified with many of the

1915
01:54:07,430 --> 01:54:10,952
early computer stories. He often said something that inspired me

1916
01:54:11,012 --> 01:54:13,414
to write him about one of many life experiences. He

1917
01:54:13,494 --> 01:54:15,996
told me I should title them Random Tales from a

1918
01:54:16,076 --> 01:54:19,338
Hippie Chick. I am doing that now. I'll miss him,

1919
01:54:19,638 --> 01:54:21,960
yet all he gave me is in my soul. I

1920
01:54:22,020 --> 01:54:25,042
will smile whenever I think of John. I donated $5,000

1921
01:54:25,422 --> 01:54:27,704
in Bitcoin. Thank you to everyone who has been part

1922
01:54:27,784 --> 01:54:30,225

1923
01:54:30,305 --> 01:54:34,708
You are never alone. To Adam, you had many years

1924
01:54:34,889 --> 01:54:37,951
as John's partner. Please stay strong. We need you. My

1925
01:54:38,031 --> 01:54:41,713
heart is weeping. May his soul fly free. Dame Catherine,

1933
01:55:16,417 --> 01:55:19,058

1934
01:55:19,138 --> 01:55:24,142
worries. In the morning, John and Adam. He dates this

apologize for falling behind on my value for value, but

1938
01:55:37,671 --> 01:55:41,494
I've been incredibly busy, complicated with travel since last October,

1939
01:55:41,574 --> 01:55:44,055
since I haven't missed an episode. Please hit me with

1940
01:55:44,115 --> 01:55:52,581
a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Hopefully. gets me back on

1941
01:55:52,701 --> 01:55:57,564
track. John, I'm glad you're back to full strength. I

1942
01:55:57,825 --> 01:56:00,326
do need you guys to call out some folks as

1943
01:56:00,426 --> 01:56:03,268
douchebags that listen to the show but have not donated

1944
01:56:03,288 --> 01:56:06,731
for too long. Number one, Sir Son of the Fort.

1945
01:56:06,991 --> 01:56:10,433
I think that's the word. It may be fart. Douchebag!

1946
01:56:12,114 --> 01:56:15,276
He should know better. But he also has been too

1947
01:56:15,356 --> 01:56:19,739
busy and needs a prompt. Two, my good friend across

1948
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:24,643
the river. She knows who she is. Douchebag. And three,

1949
01:56:24,683 --> 01:56:29,686
my oldest human resource, currently living in Mondami land and

1950
01:56:29,746 --> 01:56:36,351
needs the show to keep his amygdala right-sized. Douchebag. No

1951
01:56:36,451 --> 01:56:41,834
jingles, no karma, just four more years. I wish. Please

1952
01:56:41,894 --> 01:56:44,816
keep the best podcast in the universe going. Thank you

1953
01:56:44,916 --> 01:56:48,679
sincerely, Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility in the lands

1954
01:56:48,759 --> 01:56:51,941
of the red clay and the cherry trees. Lovely. Thank

1955
01:56:51,981 --> 01:56:54,583
you, Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility. Sir Dave Goose.

1956
01:56:55,804 --> 01:57:10,834
Also a Rub-A-Lizer donation, 3,333.33 cents. India, hang on. He

1957
01:57:10,934 --> 01:57:13,976
says, JCD, I never met you, but after 15 years

1958
01:57:14,036 --> 01:57:17,118
of listening slash producing, you felt like family. You will

1959
01:57:17,158 --> 01:57:21,841
be dearly missed, friend. ITM forever. Sir Dame Goose. The

1960
01:57:21,942 --> 01:57:28,846
next is Byron McCool, Trustville, Alabama. $1,988. Long-time listener, first-time

1961
01:57:28,906 --> 01:57:35,371
caller. I am, John hated that. I am heartbroken. My

1962
01:57:35,491 --> 01:57:39,013
first donation comes after John C. Dvorak has left the

1963
01:57:39,053 --> 01:57:44,237
building. Godspeed, JCD. Byron McCool, Trustville, Alabama. Yes, and now

1964
01:57:44,317 --> 01:57:48,640
I'm looking for the note. Let me see, because this

1965
01:57:48,940 --> 01:57:56,725
is Julian Swan. 1888, show number donation. Please see emails

1966
01:57:56,785 --> 01:58:01,788
from Julian Swan at proton.me sent to Adam Curry. Let

1967
01:58:01,809 --> 01:58:07,953
me just check Julian Swan. Okay. Yes, I have it

1968
01:58:07,953 --> 01:58:10,895
here. Thank you so much for everything you guys have

1969
01:58:10,935 --> 01:58:14,397
done. You have changed the world immeasurably, teaching a perspective

1970
01:58:14,477 --> 01:58:17,239
shift which leads to less stress, more joy, and greater

1971
01:58:17,319 --> 01:58:20,421
discernment. There's so much wisdom I've gotten from John, I

1972
01:58:20,501 --> 01:58:23,283
still find myself repeating things he said over 10 to

1973
01:58:23,343 --> 01:58:26,885
15 years ago. Ideas just as sagely as they were

1974
01:58:26,986 --> 01:58:29,647
when he first spoke them. You guys are my original

1975
01:58:29,707 --> 01:58:32,089
mentors. You gave me the courage to speak about a

1976
01:58:32,149 --> 01:58:33,950
truth I had always kept in my heart that I

1977
01:58:33,970 --> 01:58:36,932
didn't know how to express. You gave me the opportunity

1978
01:58:36,992 --> 01:58:40,234
to impart that courage to others, a resolve to dig

1979
01:58:40,315 --> 01:58:42,756
deeper into events and get the real truth behind the

1980
01:58:42,776 --> 01:58:45,738
story. Now my wife and I lead a ministry which

1981
01:58:45,778 --> 01:58:48,700
has changed thousands of lives. This would not have been

1982
01:58:48,740 --> 01:58:51,022
possible with all the years I spent at Noah Jenna

1983
01:58:51,162 --> 01:58:56,666
University under tenured professors Curry and Dvorak. Lovely. Thank you.

1984
01:58:59,688 --> 01:59:03,410
I'm sorry, I'm... having trouble with the spreadsheet. What am

1985
01:59:03,430 --> 01:59:06,212
I supposed to do, Jay? Because it's probably snapping all

1986
01:59:06,292 --> 01:59:09,174
over the place. It is. Actually, I'm going to let

1987
01:59:09,594 --> 01:59:11,836
Brennan read this one. I'm going to let Brennan read

1988
01:59:11,896 --> 01:59:19,041
this one. All right. Alright, from... Allison Ostrander with 1-888.

1989
01:59:21,002 --> 01:59:24,665
She writes, In the morning, John and Adam. Can't help

1990
01:59:24,745 --> 01:59:27,346
but keep John's name in there, as I know he's

1991
01:59:27,406 --> 01:59:31,369
here in spirit. My keeper. Sir Tony of Dimples was

1992
01:59:31,449 --> 01:59:36,353
an early listener to No Agenda show pre-episode 100 and

1993
01:59:36,413 --> 01:59:38,434
hit me in the mouth very early on when we

1994
01:59:38,454 --> 01:59:42,677
were in college. Those that know Agenda together stay together,

1995
01:59:42,817 --> 01:59:45,439
and year after year, y'all have been a constant in

1996
01:59:45,499 --> 01:59:48,581
our lives. We have never missed an episode. We have

1997
01:59:48,821 --> 01:59:52,103
inside family jokes around the show, and our kids even

1998
01:59:52,183 --> 01:59:54,745
sing along with all the jingles and little girl yas.

1999
01:59:55,766 --> 01:59:58,628
Along the way, I've hit people in the mouth, including

2000
01:59:58,688 --> 01:59:59,968
my dad. Night.

2001
02:00:00,260 --> 02:00:05,163
of the Kusaw River. pronounced "coo" like "coo-coo-clock" and "saw"

2002
02:00:05,223 --> 02:00:09,806
and my cousin and BFF Aaron. As I was close

2003
02:00:09,846 --> 02:00:12,728
to my knighthood, I noticed the positive impact the show

2004
02:00:12,868 --> 02:00:15,490
had on my dad and our conversation, so I decided

2005
02:00:15,550 --> 02:00:18,352
to instead gift the knighthood to my dad as a

2006
02:00:18,432 --> 02:00:21,294
Christmas present and started the journey over to my own

2007
02:00:21,334 --> 02:00:24,876
knight, Herod. Here to return the gesture as an early

2008
02:00:24,936 --> 02:00:28,259
birthday present to me and in honor of John, John's

2009
02:00:28,319 --> 02:00:33,102
favorite number, and for show 1888, my dad has gifted

2010
02:00:33,202 --> 02:00:38,506
me $1,888 to donate to No Agenda for JCD, and

2011
02:00:38,546 --> 02:00:42,088
so I can obtain my knighthood. However, I can't join

2012
02:00:42,128 --> 02:00:46,191
the table alone. With me already starting over, combined with

2013
02:00:46,231 --> 02:00:50,714
his donation, it puts me over 2K. Accounting below. So

2014
02:00:50,794 --> 02:00:54,536
I would like to officially de-douche my cousin Erin and

2015
02:00:54,576 --> 02:00:56,938
bring her to the table with me as an instant

2016
02:00:56,938 --> 02:01:05,144
knight as well. You've been de-douched. If you could title

2017
02:01:05,204 --> 02:01:08,926
me Dame Allison of House Ostrich and my cousin Dame

2018
02:01:09,066 --> 02:01:12,669
Erin of the Recess Rally, we would like sushi and

2019
02:01:12,789 --> 02:01:16,331
classic JCD tip to the day wine at the round

2020
02:01:16,431 --> 02:01:21,995
table. All of our thoughts and prayers to the Dvorak

2021
02:01:22,095 --> 02:01:25,117
and Curry families, along with Andrew Horwitz and the rest

2022
02:01:25,177 --> 02:01:27,959
of the No Agenda Gitmo Nation. I know many of

2023
02:01:28,059 --> 02:01:30,361
us were shocked and saddened by the news, but we

2024
02:01:30,501 --> 02:01:33,943
come together to celebrate his amazing life and all he

2025
02:01:34,003 --> 02:01:37,926
has given in his time, talent, and treasure to this

2026
02:01:38,006 --> 02:01:41,188
world. We will continue to listen on to No Agenda

2027
02:01:41,268 --> 02:01:45,171
while keeping JCD alive through what this show has taught

2028
02:01:45,251 --> 02:01:48,413
us to question and deconstruct what the media tries to

2029
02:01:48,473 --> 02:01:51,195
feed us and to do it in a fun, entertaining

2030
02:01:51,255 --> 02:01:54,677
way. Y'all have changed so many lives for the better

2031
02:01:54,857 --> 02:01:57,939
and have become such a staple and constant in our

2032
02:01:57,979 --> 02:02:01,642
lives that this loss is felt deeply by so many.

2033
02:02:02,042 --> 02:02:05,324
We cannot give enough love, gratitude, and thanks for all

2034
02:02:05,404 --> 02:02:09,767
John and Adam do. Love and light. Jingles, John C.

2035
02:02:09,887 --> 02:02:13,790
Dvorak, Pet Peeves of the Day. Yes. Oh, three, four

2036
02:02:13,830 --> 02:02:17,873
jiggles there. There's more. I got ants, mac and cheese,

2037
02:02:18,413 --> 02:02:22,836
and John's spooky donation. Yes. I got them all for

2038
02:02:22,896 --> 02:02:33,323
you. John C. Dvorak's Pet Bebop Day. We got ants.

2039
02:02:38,487 --> 02:02:47,613
I got ants. You can get used to mac and

2040
02:02:47,613 --> 02:02:51,716
cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese, macaroni and cheddar

2041
02:02:51,976 --> 02:02:55,238
melted together. Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and

2042
02:02:55,298 --> 02:03:17,693
cheese. You've got... Karma. you've got. Karma. Thank you, Allison.

2043
02:03:18,094 --> 02:03:22,056
Sir Thomas of the Apocalypse, Kingsburg, California. Show number donation

2044
02:03:22,156 --> 02:03:25,619
is 1-888. Please accept this donation along with my sincerest

2045
02:03:25,659 --> 02:03:28,781
condolences to the family. My first introduction to John was

2046
02:03:28,841 --> 02:03:31,202
his presence on tech TV back in the late 90s.

2047
02:03:31,423 --> 02:03:33,684
I seem to recall first listening to an episode of

2048
02:03:33,744 --> 02:03:36,366
No Agenda after searching for what John was up to

2049
02:03:36,486 --> 02:03:38,667
after Cranky Geeks. But I think I didn't stick around

2050
02:03:38,728 --> 02:03:44,611
until I typed in www.SeanHannity.com into my address bar one

2051
02:03:44,652 --> 02:03:47,673
day only for the No Agenda podcast. come back into

2052
02:03:47,754 --> 02:03:49,735
my life. Yeah, we had that domain for a long

2053
02:03:49,835 --> 02:03:53,578
time. I had been hooked ever since. Thank you, John,

2054
02:03:53,638 --> 02:03:57,500
for being such a wonderfully insightful and contrarian personality all

2055
02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:00,282
these years. I truly believe my family and I are

2056
02:04:00,322 --> 02:04:06,086
better people from listening to you. And next is Baron

2057
02:04:06,206 --> 02:04:16,173
BL, Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. Show donation 1-888-PRAYING-FOR-EVERYONE. RIP, John.

2058
02:04:16,593 --> 02:04:19,915
Thank you for everything, sir. Much love to all of

2059
02:04:19,935 --> 02:04:22,357
you, and I'm sorry for your loss. He was a

2060
02:04:22,437 --> 02:04:26,680
boss. He was indeed. Ali Jade. Wow. Good to hear

2061
02:04:26,740 --> 02:04:32,184
from Ali Jade. $1,052.62. I say about 17 years ago,

2062
02:04:32,264 --> 02:04:34,425
I was brought to this podcast from Twit because of

2063
02:04:34,485 --> 02:04:37,147
JCD. What I found was a podcast during the great

2064
02:04:37,287 --> 02:04:40,409
jingle days of old, the burning of Club 33, the

2065
02:04:40,489 --> 02:04:43,691
longest podcast episode, the bringing of the Bakelite phone, the

2066
02:04:43,752 --> 02:04:46,513
announcer of the strippers, the bringer of wine tips. I

2067
02:04:46,613 --> 02:04:50,156
could go on. This knighthood is in his name. Someone

2068
02:04:50,196 --> 02:04:52,117
I always wanted to get a chance to meet, but

2069
02:04:52,177 --> 02:04:54,259
as the events has changed that, but maybe in our

2070
02:04:54,319 --> 02:04:57,361
Lord's embrace, if I'm lucky. I may have retired from

2071
02:04:57,401 --> 02:04:59,902
bringing news and inside info on a segment of people

2072
02:04:59,942 --> 02:05:01,864
to the show, but I never left the show and

2073
02:05:01,924 --> 02:05:05,046
its hosts. This donation is for JCD and his wonderful

2074
02:05:05,146 --> 02:05:09,109
family. This damehood is in honor of JCD, Dame Allie

2075
02:05:09,269 --> 02:05:11,931
of the buzzkills. I only hope that when I get

2076
02:05:12,031 --> 02:05:14,572
older to have honed the buzzkill skills he had. God

2077
02:05:14,632 --> 02:05:17,814
bless you all with strength and energy in this moment

2078
02:05:17,855 --> 02:05:25,740
of need. Sincerely, Allie Jade. Right? Sir C. Sharp of

2079
02:05:26,240 --> 02:05:37,128
.NET from Austin, Texas with $1,052.62. I thought RIPJCD was

2080
02:05:37,188 --> 02:05:41,531
just newsletter clickbait. Even reading his hardware gave out, I

2081
02:05:41,631 --> 02:05:45,833
thought, meant his Windows 10 PC died. I've been listening

2082
02:05:45,994 --> 02:05:48,195
for over 14 years, and I was a fan of

2083
02:05:48,235 --> 02:05:53,899
JCD from the start, whether No Agenda or DH Unplugged

2084
02:05:53,959 --> 02:06:02,605
or Twit or RipJCD. My donations of $1,052.62, which is

2085
02:06:02,785 --> 02:06:10,170
$1,000 in fees, brings my total contribution to $3,297.06, making

2086
02:06:10,230 --> 02:06:13,552
me eligible for Barron. As Barron, please grant me the

2087
02:06:13,612 --> 02:06:16,414
territory of South Austin. You got it. Sorry for your

2088
02:06:16,494 --> 02:06:22,498
loss. Sir C. Sharp of .net, future baron of South

2089
02:06:22,638 --> 02:06:29,963
Austin, Jay Kudin. Kanaquini. Austin, Texas. P.S. I'm still skeptical

2090
02:06:30,043 --> 02:06:33,145
slash hoping that this is all just a donation scheme

2091
02:06:33,185 --> 02:06:36,108
and JCD will be on the show tomorrow. I sure

2092
02:06:36,148 --> 02:06:40,190
hope so. Yes, so many people have mentioned that. Wait,

2093
02:06:40,270 --> 02:06:41,931
wait, was this a new scheme? We didn't think of

2094
02:06:42,051 --> 02:06:44,653
it. No, we never thought of that one. Boy, we

2095
02:06:44,673 --> 02:06:49,957
missed it. Cameron Simpson, Jacksonville, Florida, $1,000 with a note

2096
02:06:49,977 --> 02:06:52,639
with condolences and night name sent to Adam. Then I

2097
02:06:52,819 --> 02:06:56,701
have it here. I'm so sorry to hear about John's

2098
02:06:56,761 --> 02:06:58,623
passing. I really thought he was going to be around

2099
02:06:58,703 --> 02:07:01,885
a while longer after that successful heart surgery. My deepest

2100
02:07:01,945 --> 02:07:04,587
condolences to Mimi and the Dvorak clan and also to

2101
02:07:04,747 --> 02:07:07,849
Adam and the Keeper. I will especially miss John's grousing

2102
02:07:07,889 --> 02:07:09,970
about one thing or another on the show and his

2103
02:07:10,030 --> 02:07:13,173
amusing anecdotes. John has made an impact on me and

2104
02:07:13,173 --> 02:07:15,634
the way I view society and politics in our world.

2105
02:07:15,994 --> 02:07:18,416
I'm really going to miss that guy. I pray that

2106
02:07:18,536 --> 02:07:21,218
God blesses all of you and gives you strength in

2107
02:07:21,258 --> 02:07:23,940
this difficult time. I expect you may not be doing

2108
02:07:24,020 --> 02:07:26,502
nightings during this sad show, so please just knight me

2109
02:07:26,582 --> 02:07:29,764
as Sir Renegade of the St. John's River whenever that

2110
02:07:29,844 --> 02:07:32,446
is appropriate. We actually are going to do nightings today.

2111
02:07:32,646 --> 02:07:34,567
We want to just do the fort. I don't know

2112
02:07:34,587 --> 02:07:36,749
if I can lift the sword, but okay. You can

2113
02:07:36,849 --> 02:07:40,991
do it. Have Brennan help you. It'll be fine. Max,

2114
02:07:41,572 --> 02:07:47,476
$1,000 to Adam, Mimi, and family. I guess I took

2115
02:07:47,536 --> 02:07:50,538
for granted that John would still be with us a

2116
02:07:50,578 --> 02:07:53,240
little while longer, hence not donating as much as I

2117
02:07:53,360 --> 02:07:58,103
should be. I miss John's poor pronunciation, whether on purpose

2118
02:07:58,183 --> 02:08:01,525
or not, of names and places. Nighting, I'd like to

2119
02:08:01,585 --> 02:08:09,471
be known as Sir Maximalist, protector of Cape Town's last

2120
02:08:09,531 --> 02:08:13,093
remaining parking spot. I'd like to have the Emerald Isle

2121
02:08:13,133 --> 02:08:22,820
30-year-old single malt Irish whiskey. ski Thank you, the Africanus

2122
02:08:22,900 --> 02:08:26,943
for barbecue. For the roundtable in honor of John. Yes,

2123
02:08:27,023 --> 02:08:29,104
we have ordered as much as we could for today.

2124
02:08:30,005 --> 02:08:33,467
There's Sir Ramsey Cain and Sir Pants. Ramsey Cain, who

2125
02:08:33,547 --> 02:08:37,910
early on created CDs of the show. Oh, I remember

2126
02:08:37,970 --> 02:08:42,013
that. Yes, I believe Sir Pants is his employer. And

2127
02:08:42,893 --> 02:08:45,755
his employer encouraged Sir Ramsey Cain to work on this

2128
02:08:45,855 --> 02:08:50,719
during work hours. And, man, there's still thousands of No

2129
02:08:50,799 --> 02:08:54,761
Agenda CDs out there. 93566, he says, John, you will

2130
02:08:54,801 --> 02:08:57,403
be missed. Prayers for your soul and for your family,

2131
02:08:57,483 --> 02:09:03,927
direct and extended. We love you. Kane and sir All

2132
02:09:03,988 --> 02:09:08,250
right, for Baron Ryan of Central Oregon and Dame Baroness

2133
02:09:08,350 --> 02:09:15,776
of Bend with a $934.73 donation. You will be forever

2134
02:09:15,836 --> 02:09:21,379
missed, JCD. Thanks for sharing your years of wisdom, masterful

2135
02:09:21,459 --> 02:09:25,022
sense of humor, and genuine honesty. God be with you,

2136
02:09:25,282 --> 02:09:28,984
your family, friends. And by friend, we mean those you

2137
02:09:29,145 --> 02:09:32,447
shared a meal with at their home. And all fellow

2138
02:09:32,507 --> 02:09:37,850
producers. RIP Buzzkill. Baron Ryan of Central Oregon and Dame

2139
02:09:37,890 --> 02:09:43,454
Baroness. Sir Harrison of the Reds. Baronettas. Yes, we have

2140
02:09:43,474 --> 02:09:49,198
all these weird titles. Sir Harrison of the Rednecks, 888.88.

2141
02:09:49,839 --> 02:09:52,500
John was a titan of a man with usually good

2142
02:09:52,560 --> 02:09:55,983
intentions, much loved, sorely missed. May he be well remembered.

2143
02:09:56,503 --> 02:09:59,585
God rest his soul. Love and heartfelt prayer from Mimi

2144
02:09:59,645 --> 02:10:03,708
and their brood. Warmest regards, Commodore Sir Harrison of the

2145
02:10:03,728 --> 02:10:12,154
Rednecks. Okay, Jan, Sir Jan, the innkeeper, and Sir Chief.

2146
02:10:12,674 --> 02:10:17,117
Chee. Cheel. Feel. John's not the only one who messes

2147
02:10:17,177 --> 02:10:23,461
up names. $888.88. We'll send an email tomorrow, dear Adam

2148
02:10:23,501 --> 02:10:30,006
and Mimi. What a loss. We are really... Warm regards.

2149
02:10:30,146 --> 02:10:34,629
Oh, verdrietig. Oh, thank you. The foreign words. Very sad,

2150
02:10:34,849 --> 02:10:38,371
yes. Let me just see if I can find his

2151
02:10:38,471 --> 02:10:53,121
note real quick. I... do I find it here? not

2152
02:10:53,161 --> 02:10:58,865
be able to find this. Jay's also looking. Yeah. We're

2153
02:10:58,885 --> 02:11:03,548
all on the hunt. We are. We are. We will

2154
02:11:03,889 --> 02:11:06,310
probably have to do a make good for that. I'm

2155
02:11:06,851 --> 02:11:11,074
sorry. I got it. It is for 808. It's 88888.

2156
02:11:11,534 --> 02:11:15,256
What's the note? Oh. Oh, yeah, I was asking. That

2157
02:11:15,276 --> 02:11:18,378
was a question I asked. We will send an email

2158
02:11:18,479 --> 02:11:24,062
tomorrow. Yes. Okay. We continue with... We will. Sir Cain

2159
02:11:24,142 --> 02:11:29,906
break. What is the amount here? I have a zero.

2160
02:11:30,126 --> 02:11:56,404
It's $888.88. Same as neighbors. Got it. ways with Twit,

2161
02:11:56,684 --> 02:11:59,206
yet felt this pull from the unique perspective of the

2162
02:11:59,306 --> 02:12:03,569
no-nonsense contributor known as John C. Dvorak. It was but

2163
02:12:03,749 --> 02:12:06,071
one show to realize this creature known as the No

2164
02:12:06,171 --> 02:12:09,493
Agenda Show was home. Dame Tracy and I have met

2165
02:12:09,613 --> 02:12:12,855
wonderful people at No Agenda meetups, both in Louisiana and

2166
02:12:12,935 --> 02:12:16,118
Texas, Johnson City and Lukenbach, all thanks to the unique

2167
02:12:16,158 --> 02:12:19,640
man who has an anecdotal story about every job known

2168
02:12:19,700 --> 02:12:22,002
to man. After all, at some point in his life,

2169
02:12:22,242 --> 02:12:24,844
he had that job. Dame Tracy and I did not

2170
02:12:24,904 --> 02:12:26,865
have the honor to meet JCD in this world, but

2171
02:12:26,885 --> 02:12:29,467
thanks to our Catholic faith, we look forward to meeting

2172
02:12:29,487 --> 02:12:31,608
the man who put the C in curmudgeon in the

2173
02:12:31,628 --> 02:12:35,391
next. on Sundays and Thursdays and are glad for the

2174
02:12:35,411 --> 02:12:37,432
many shows in which we were able to share his

2175
02:12:37,512 --> 02:12:41,295
time and talent. His treasure is his life he shared

2176
02:12:41,315 --> 02:12:43,896
with us by the grace of God, who obviously wanted

2177
02:12:43,916 --> 02:12:45,958
to be the first to hear the next tip of

2178
02:12:45,978 --> 02:12:51,201
the day. Make... May God bless you. May God keep

2179
02:12:51,241 --> 02:12:53,623
you and bless you, John C. Dvorak, Sir Cain Brake,

2180
02:12:53,823 --> 02:12:58,266
Shelvin Alleman, St. George, Louisiana. So we have the note

2181
02:12:58,706 --> 02:13:02,929
from the-- Oh, you do? For Sir Jan, the innkeeper.

2182
02:13:02,929 --> 02:13:05,031
Oh, yes, please. Can you read that? That'd be great.

2183
02:13:05,831 --> 02:13:09,974
That's a... Dear Adam, what a tragedy. Love to you

2184
02:13:10,034 --> 02:13:13,276
and John's family. We will miss him dearly. We are

2185
02:13:13,356 --> 02:13:20,961
really warm regards and with love. Sir Jan the Innkeeper.

2186
02:13:21,002 --> 02:13:23,103
Yes, he is the innkeeper. I'll do the next one.

2187
02:13:24,504 --> 02:13:27,606
Two of our favorite, favorite people of the show who

2188
02:13:27,646 --> 02:13:30,128
have been part of No Age in the Nation for

2189
02:13:30,348 --> 02:13:35,091
many, many, many years, Dame Astrid and Sir Mark. the

2190
02:13:35,251 --> 02:13:38,633
Archduchess and Archduke of Japan and all the disputed islands

2191
02:13:38,633 --> 02:13:44,297
in the Japan Sea. 888.88. Dear Mimi J and everyone

2192
02:13:44,317 --> 02:13:47,539
in the wonderful JCD family and dear Adam. John was

2193
02:13:47,619 --> 02:13:50,882
such a legendary man, full of wisdom, always sprinkled with

2194
02:13:50,962 --> 02:13:54,024
an entertaining touch of mischief. We'll keep him close in

2195
02:13:54,084 --> 02:13:57,686
our memories. We always loved his encyclopedic command of the

2196
02:13:57,706 --> 02:14:00,108
language, and even today we learned a new word that

2197
02:14:00,188 --> 02:14:04,191
seemed so perfectly fitting for him. Rybald? Is it Rybald?

2198
02:14:04,231 --> 02:14:07,893
Is that the word? Yeah, Rybald. Rybald. Rybald is correct.

2199
02:14:08,434 --> 02:14:11,976
Indeed. He was a chick magnet like no other. My

2200
02:14:12,136 --> 02:14:15,258
favorite story will always be the one about his return

2201
02:14:15,338 --> 02:14:17,240
to San Francisco when he tried to pick up a

2202
02:14:17,280 --> 02:14:20,202
woman from his motorcycle while it was snowing in Tahoe.

2203
02:14:20,922 --> 02:14:25,125
You got it. Exactly. So unmistakably, John. Please let him

2204
02:14:25,225 --> 02:14:33,230
call Raven, I guess, from Rosita. from Club 33 up

2205
02:14:33,310 --> 02:14:35,652
on the stage just one more time. Thank you for

2206
02:14:35,692 --> 02:14:37,793
your courage at this difficult time. We are thinking of

2207
02:14:37,854 --> 02:14:41,976
you all with much love forever. 88888 from Tokyo. Dame

2208
02:14:42,096 --> 02:14:45,919
Astrid and Sir Mark, Archduchess and Archduke from Japan and

2209
02:14:45,979 --> 02:14:49,441
all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea. And let

2210
02:14:49,481 --> 02:14:52,523
me just get Raven real quick. We love to bring

2211
02:14:53,044 --> 02:14:59,888
Raven back up. Here she is, Raven!

2212
02:15:00,140 --> 02:15:11,347
And give it up! Rick Bunch, Laverkin, Utah, $888.88. My

2213
02:15:11,427 --> 02:15:14,669
deepest sympathies. JCD was an icon. I will miss him.

2214
02:15:16,751 --> 02:15:20,974
Sir Ted, San Jose, California, 888. Just a small contribution

2215
02:15:21,014 --> 02:15:23,375
of value for the immense value John gave me over

2216
02:15:23,375 --> 02:15:27,618
the past 18 years. Sir Ted of San Jose. So,

2217
02:15:27,718 --> 02:15:32,241
JC, you want to read this one? but he wasn't

2218
02:15:32,261 --> 02:15:38,405
there. Is he there? Oh, well. Sir Led. $800.85. Like

2219
02:15:38,485 --> 02:15:41,508
the big ones. I like the big ones. Oh, that's

2220
02:15:41,568 --> 02:15:44,790
an interesting comment. He likes big ones, yes. Me too.

2221
02:15:45,650 --> 02:15:48,072
I've been listening for six hours a week for 15

2222
02:15:48,152 --> 02:15:50,333
years. I'm going to miss him. Thanking of you too,

2223
02:15:50,494 --> 02:15:55,917
Adam. Sir Led. Sir E61. I think it's Led. Sir

2224
02:15:56,057 --> 02:15:59,660
E61 of Black Sheep, Johnson City, Tennessee, and he's all

2225
02:15:59,740 --> 02:16:02,402
over the world these days. He's been checking in regularly

2226
02:16:02,462 --> 02:16:07,025
from the Middle East. He's at $519.46. Just saw the

2227
02:16:07,045 --> 02:16:09,827
newsletter and couldn't believe. Prayers to Mimi and the family.

2228
02:16:10,007 --> 02:16:14,250
Adam, my condolences. We producers always say four more years.

2229
02:16:14,390 --> 02:16:18,433
Sadly, we won't see that. Not with John. Nothing can

2230
02:16:18,513 --> 02:16:20,794
replace the man or the shadow he casts upon our

2231
02:16:20,834 --> 02:16:24,477
perspective with your assistance. No jingles out of respect, karma

2232
02:16:24,557 --> 02:16:29,400
and prayers for JCD's family. Respectfully, Sir E61 Black Sheep.

2233
02:16:29,760 --> 02:16:38,706
And we got a karma here. You've got karma. Commodore

2234
02:16:38,726 --> 02:16:41,708
Dan? Yeah, he wanted me to read this for some

2235
02:16:41,768 --> 02:16:46,151
reason. Oh, he does? Well, I was going to pretend

2236
02:16:46,231 --> 02:16:48,333
I was you. And you would have gotten away with

2237
02:16:48,413 --> 02:16:54,917
it. Commodore Daniel 518 and 88. Dear Adam, my deepest

2238
02:16:54,977 --> 02:16:57,799
sympathies and condolences to you, Mimi, all of the Dvorak

2239
02:16:57,899 --> 02:17:00,901
family, and the entire No Agenda community. It was absolutely

2240
02:17:00,901 --> 02:17:03,443
heartbreaking to read this week's newsletter with such a tragic

2241
02:17:03,563 --> 02:17:06,125
update. No Agenda has been a big part of my

2242
02:17:06,185 --> 02:17:08,066
life for over a decade now, ever since I was

2243
02:17:08,126 --> 02:17:11,128
hit in the mouth with my friend Witt's Night of

2244
02:17:11,148 --> 02:17:14,450
the Corn Belt conspiracies. Never have I been so grateful

2245
02:17:14,570 --> 02:17:17,613
to be hit in the mouth. My legacy to JCD

2246
02:17:17,773 --> 02:17:21,976
donation of $518.88 is for $500 to bring me to

2247
02:17:22,036 --> 02:17:26,058
my knighthood for the show number and John's favorite number.

2248
02:17:26,519 --> 02:17:28,400
I will provide my title in the future, but for

2249
02:17:28,440 --> 02:17:32,162
now, please bring John's favorite bottle of Irish whiskey to

2250
02:17:32,222 --> 02:17:35,265
the round table for a proper toast. No jingles, no

2251
02:17:35,365 --> 02:17:40,028
karma. With deepest sympathies, Commodore Daniel. Oh, I like the

2252
02:17:40,088 --> 02:17:46,672
next one. Alexander. Salish hour. Salish hour. Yep. Okay. That

2253
02:17:46,712 --> 02:17:51,956
was close. Um, $513 and 72 cents. And no note,

2254
02:17:52,036 --> 02:17:54,838
which means a double up, double up karma. You've got.

2255
02:17:57,319 --> 02:18:03,283
Karma. Sir Louis Love in Edmonds, Washington, 500. Thank you.

2256
02:18:03,624 --> 02:18:07,346
Dear Adam and John, my name is Louis. In Edmonds,

2257
02:18:07,386 --> 02:18:10,789
Washington. I've been a long-time listener, long-time douchebag. Can no

2258
02:18:10,869 --> 02:18:13,550
longer live with the guilt of continually being a douchebag.

2259
02:18:13,711 --> 02:18:16,552
I would like you and the producers to dive deeper

2260
02:18:16,913 --> 02:18:20,455
with geoengineering and weather modification that's been going on for

2261
02:18:20,515 --> 02:18:23,037
years. And the program seemed to be ramped up like

2262
02:18:23,097 --> 02:18:29,221
never before. Look up Dane Wiginton at geoengineering.com. Adam, I'm

2263
02:18:29,281 --> 02:18:32,924
sorry Ricky Lackman took over the headbanger's ball. I love

2264
02:18:32,984 --> 02:18:35,405
you guys, and thanks for no agenda. Please let my

2265
02:18:35,525 --> 02:18:38,587
longtime douchebaggery be forgiven, and may the dark cloud of

2266
02:18:38,647 --> 02:18:42,090
shame be pushed aside. Here, now, and forever. Here's $500

2267
02:18:42,350 --> 02:18:44,892
to help the cause. Peace and love. Sir Louie Love,

2268
02:18:44,972 --> 02:18:52,076
and we'll give him a de-douche. You've been de-douched. Sir

2269
02:18:52,157 --> 02:18:58,161
Baron Patrick of the Pugner Order, Carnation, Washington, $500. Condolences,

2270
02:18:58,641 --> 02:19:01,243
Baron Patrick of the Pugner Order. I actually had an

2271
02:19:01,703 --> 02:19:04,565
exchange with him on Facebook yesterday. It was very nice.

2284
02:20:09,189 --> 02:20:13,371
listening since episode one. I didn't even listen to episode

2285
02:20:13,472 --> 02:20:17,414
one. With a small but steady reoccurring monthly donation most

2286
02:20:17,474 --> 02:20:20,957
of that time, the balance of personalities and perspectives between

2287
02:20:21,017 --> 02:20:24,179
John and Adam, the community of producers, and the critical

2288
02:20:24,279 --> 02:20:27,261
thinking skills the show has helped foster have had an

2289
02:20:27,501 --> 02:20:31,484
immeasurable impact in my life and kept my amygdala, I

2290
02:20:31,544 --> 02:20:35,206
can never say that word, unswollen throughout the years, requesting

2291
02:20:35,346 --> 02:20:39,089
goat karma for John's family and Adam and Tina. I

2292
02:20:39,129 --> 02:20:49,756
will miss you, John. You've got... Karma. Jason Edmonds, Johnson

2293
02:20:49,836 --> 02:20:53,919
City, Tennessee, 38888, RIP, John. You'll be missed, but we

2294
02:20:53,979 --> 02:21:01,184
look forward to your media deconstruction from above. Robert Kaminoski

2295
02:21:02,465 --> 02:21:08,549
for $388.33. ITM. After hearing the news, it was difficult

2296
02:21:08,569 --> 02:21:11,751
to get through the last 19 minutes of episode 1887,

2297
02:21:12,351 --> 02:21:14,953
but I'm glad I did. John was on his game

2298
02:21:14,973 --> 02:21:17,515
all the way to the end. Thank you, Lord, for

2299
02:21:17,555 --> 02:21:20,237
giving us one more great show with him. Rest in

2300
02:21:20,317 --> 02:21:22,899
peace, John. You were one of the greats. Thank you

2301
02:21:22,939 --> 02:21:24,800
for all the insights of the years and helping to

2302
02:21:24,880 --> 02:21:28,042
keep this crazy world just a little more sane. All

2303
02:21:28,102 --> 02:21:31,444
of you, in will be in our prayers. Can I

2304
02:21:31,504 --> 02:21:33,906
get one more hit of I love my truck and

2305
02:21:34,046 --> 02:21:36,648
I love what I do and I got ants, please?

2306

I don't know where that is. I have a recording

2307
02:21:39,510 --> 02:21:44,453

would have liked. Thank you. I got ants. you I

02:22:18,016 --> 02:22:20,037
calling ants to the house by playing this so much.

2313
02:22:20,037 --> 02:22:27,122

the years, I know John had lived a full and

2330
02:24:12,213 --> 02:24:15,235
wonderful life. I'll keep this note short in his memory.

2331

Thank you. With love and respect, Anonymous. Spook adjacent, Virginia.

universe. Sir Doc Nelson, $350.93. Rode shotgun in my car

Sir Doc Nelson. Casey Hamry, 350 and 93, ITM. I

2347
02:25:31,707 --> 02:25:34,509
was stunned and saddened this afternoon upon hearing the news

2348
02:25:34,569 --> 02:25:36,770
of JCD's passing. Both he and Adam have had a

2349
02:25:36,810 --> 02:25:39,492
great impact on my life. I found no agenda for

2350
02:25:39,512 --> 02:25:42,274
a recommendation on Reddit back in 2016, if you can

2351
02:25:42,314 --> 02:25:44,696
believe it. Thanks to that producer for leading me on

2352
02:25:44,756 --> 02:25:48,098
a path out of my Austin, Texas, indoctrinated hell bubble.

2353
02:25:48,758 --> 02:25:51,300
This donation serves as my third and final installment of

2354
02:25:51,300 --> 02:25:55,683

2355
02:25:55,743 --> 02:25:57,845
of one penny to help me reach my day. hood.

2356
02:25:58,585 --> 02:26:01,647
I request to be named Dame Dingbat of the Colorado

2357
02:26:01,747 --> 02:26:05,090
River flood painting. I always laugh when John called some

2358
02:26:05,190 --> 02:26:07,571
crazy woman a dingbat and would love to take the

2359
02:26:07,611 --> 02:26:10,273
moniker and commemorate it with my seat at the round

2360
02:26:10,353 --> 02:26:13,775
table. By my side will be my Westinghouse pressure washer,

2361
02:26:14,216 --> 02:26:16,617
one of my best purchases from the JCD tip of

2362
02:26:16,637 --> 02:26:18,779
the day. For the sake of brevity, I will be

2363
02:26:18,839 --> 02:26:21,641
satisfied with mutton and mead at the round table. I

2364
02:26:21,701 --> 02:26:23,822
will move to a monthly donation now in hopes that

2365
02:26:23,942 --> 02:26:26,284
Adam will continue the legacy of the best podcast in

2366
02:26:26,344 --> 02:26:29,426
the universe. a glass to JCD and his family. He

2367
02:26:29,506 --> 02:26:31,688
will be missed. I have never felt such a loss

2368
02:26:31,708 --> 02:26:34,109
for someone I never met. Blessings to all in the

2369
02:26:34,269 --> 02:26:39,553
NA community. Casey Hamry, Dame Dingbat, Columbus, Texas. It's nice

2370
02:26:39,573 --> 02:26:44,516
to know another woman appreciates a pressure washer. Indeed. We

02:26:44,636 --> 02:26:53,262
have an unlisted note from Dreb Scott. Loving for... $543.21.

Love and light, JCD. NJNK. Thank you. Sir Nussbaum. Hold

2373
02:27:00,967 --> 02:27:04,170
on a second. We can't just have Nussbaum without, we

2374
02:27:04,230 --> 02:27:07,392
haven't heard from him in a while. So we need

2375
02:27:07,472 --> 02:27:12,615
to give us jingle props. I don't know what that

2376
02:27:12,715 --> 02:27:23,262
was. Hold on. Work for... 350-93, JCD's yelling Nussbaum during

2377
02:27:23,302 --> 02:27:26,044
the ant rant started my path to Grand Duke. Fair

2378
02:27:26,144 --> 02:27:33,589
winds and following seas, JCD. Sir Dr. Jeff, $350.93. I

2379
02:27:33,690 --> 02:27:38,072
remember reading JCD's editorials in PC Magazine, then seeing him

2380
02:27:38,153 --> 02:27:42,155
years later on Twit, remembering him taking a new Android

2381
02:27:42,255 --> 02:27:46,178
phone that Leo had just received and changing the language

2382
02:27:46,278 --> 02:27:50,621
to Korean. Yes. Rest easy and peace, my friend. Godspeed,

2383
02:27:50,781 --> 02:27:55,864
Sir Dr. Jeff. Kevin Armenta, $350. Hello, Adam. It is

2384
02:27:55,905 --> 02:28:00,808
with heavy heart that I send this donation. but stopped

2385
02:28:00,828 --> 02:28:03,790
due to alcoholism. I quit my job and drank myself

2386
02:28:03,930 --> 02:28:07,332
into psychosis in 2022. It was hard for me to

2387
02:28:07,412 --> 02:28:09,294
listen to the show that year because when you're in

2388
02:28:09,374 --> 02:28:13,356
such a downward spiral, the news is just about. what

2389
02:28:13,456 --> 02:28:15,758
the most successful people in the world are doing and

2390
02:28:15,818 --> 02:28:19,220
it made me self-conscious. I am now in recovery, sober

2391
02:28:19,320 --> 02:28:22,923
a solid three years. Good job, brother. I don't hear

2392
02:28:23,003 --> 02:28:25,825
voices in my head anymore. I have found God. I'll

2393
02:28:25,865 --> 02:28:29,007
be praying for you, Adam and John's family. Your voices

2394
02:28:29,067 --> 02:28:31,689
are combined with my memories throughout the last six years.

2395
02:28:32,349 --> 02:28:34,751
I found you guys during COVID and you both saved

2396
02:28:34,811 --> 02:28:37,152
my life. I listened to you guys while I was

2397
02:28:37,192 --> 02:28:40,174
drunk in the garage playing video games. I listened during

2398
02:28:40,235 --> 02:28:45,118
my runs or workout sessions. analysis I needed because no

2399
02:28:45,198 --> 02:28:48,260
one else compares and that's the truth. Please light knight

2400
02:28:48,320 --> 02:28:52,543
me Sir Kexicus for the round table can I please

2401
02:28:52,643 --> 02:28:57,586

2402
02:28:57,626 --> 02:29:02,149
can do that. Well, congratulations on three years. Stay sober.

2403
02:29:03,550 --> 02:29:10,055

02:29:10,095 --> 02:29:16,279
you go. Jacksonville, Florida. $343.75. My heart broke when I

2405
02:29:16,319 --> 02:29:19,581
heard this. I will miss John. I'm thankful to have

2406
02:29:19,601 --> 02:29:22,643
been able to learn from him for years. His legacy

2407
02:29:22,723 --> 02:29:28,867
lives on. Alex. San Filippo. Yes. Yeah, I know him

2408

2410
02:29:39,475 --> 02:29:43,097
heartbroken of your passing, John. Praying for the Dvorak family

2411
02:29:43,117 --> 02:29:44,918
and for the Currys, I know John and Adam were

2412
02:29:44,978 --> 02:29:47,780
brothers and loved each other very much. God bless, love

2413
02:29:47,820 --> 02:29:50,762
and light. Putting my phone in a drawer and driving

2414
02:29:50,822 --> 02:29:54,265
my early 2000s luxury vehicle in your honor, I think

2415
02:29:54,305 --> 02:29:56,506
we're all wearing our night rings this week. I love

2416
02:29:56,566 --> 02:29:59,948
you, you lovable, ITM, you lovable curmudgeon. Sir Bing.

02:30:22,335 --> 02:30:24,696
thank you to John. Losing a loved one is never

2422
02:30:24,836 --> 02:30:28,239
easy and nothing you can say closest to them. will

2423
02:30:28,279 --> 02:30:30,340
help them through this loss. John has been a part

2424
02:30:30,380 --> 02:30:31,941
of my life from the early years of my own

2425
02:30:32,001 --> 02:30:35,263
technology career. I will miss his insight, his laugh, and

2426
02:30:35,323 --> 02:30:38,365
perspective he brought to this world. Listening to No Agenda

2427
02:30:38,445 --> 02:30:40,107
for the past 15 years has been one of the

2428
02:30:40,127 --> 02:30:42,969
few staples in my life over that time. Traveling to

2429
02:30:43,029 --> 02:30:45,010
work, whether in a car, a plane, or a train,

2430
02:30:45,370 --> 02:30:47,352
I could always turn to No Agenda to bring in

2431
02:30:47,412 --> 02:30:50,334
a level of sanity in this crazy world. My deepest

2432
02:30:50,414 --> 02:30:53,296
condolences to his family you will be missed, but certainly

2433
02:30:53,376 --> 02:30:57,258
not forgotten. Jingle, give it up for Raven. Some D-Dushes

2434

bring Raven up one more time. Here she is, Raven.

2437
02:31:18,032 --> 02:31:27,899
Give it up. Ethan Katz just said $333.34. This actually

2438
02:31:27,979 --> 02:31:30,701
completes my knighthood, but we can deal with that later.

Note for the show, I've been turning screwdrivers. and configuring

PC industry helped launch my own career. We're all... All

2442

blessed to have known him and he will forever be

I'm short one penny of damehood. Could you please spare

2460
02:33:50,976 --> 02:33:56,219
one? Where are my pennies? Thought I had my pennies

2461
02:33:56,319 --> 02:33:59,722
around here. Hold on a second. I'd have to search

2462
02:33:59,802 --> 02:34:02,984
on the floor in this room for that. I thought

2463
02:34:02,984 --> 02:34:05,806
I had a penny. No one has asked for those

2464
02:34:05,866 --> 02:34:09,348
in a long time. Let me see. Penny. Well, I

2465
02:34:09,448 --> 02:34:12,070
have one for you. I'm sorry. I can't find it.

2466
02:34:12,070 --> 02:34:13,971
Well, you know, they aren't per name anymore, so there's

2467
02:34:13,991 --> 02:34:18,394
that. Yes. I am requesting... Oh, for Dame Name, I'm

2468

2486
02:35:40,570 --> 02:35:47,695
Do we have the number? 333.33. We were so incredibly

2487
02:35:47,735 --> 02:35:50,076
heartbroken to hear of John's passing. We've been fans of

2488
02:35:50,136 --> 02:35:52,238
his since the 90s, when tech news was the only

2489
02:35:52,278 --> 02:35:54,439
news we were keeping up on. Without a doubt, the

2490
02:35:54,479 --> 02:35:57,001
echo of his life will reverberate for generations to come.

2491
02:35:58,122 --> 02:36:01,444
Please. No, we are thinking of his wife, his family,

2492
02:36:01,484 --> 02:36:03,265
and the entire No Agenda team as they deal with

2493
02:36:03,345 --> 02:36:06,528

2501
02:37:11,952 --> 02:37:15,194
would help you identify good trees and good men. I

2502
02:37:15,334 --> 02:37:18,516
asked my eight sons, avid listeners, to give a one-word

2503
02:37:18,576 --> 02:37:23,920
description of the value they received. Endless wisdom, simplification, affirmation,

2504
02:37:24,200 --> 02:37:31,285
community, perspective, truth-telling, education, encouragement. There's good fruit there. God

2505
02:37:31,325 --> 02:37:33,847
bless you with comfort and courage from the Lyon family.

2517
02:38:31,766 --> 02:38:35,408
No Agenda Nation. Devastated to hear about John. I've been

2518
02:38:35,408 --> 02:38:38,390
a regular listener since seeing you on the JRE during

2519
02:38:38,470 --> 02:38:44,034
the lockdowns. immediately from Headbanger's Ball, but I shamefully hadn't

2520
02:38:44,074 --> 02:38:50,458
donated until now. I'm long overdue for dedouching. You've been

2521
02:38:50,619 --> 02:38:57,903
dedouched. No Agenda quickly became my go-to for world events,

2522
02:38:58,504 --> 02:39:01,826
except Africa, of course, keeping me company in the shower

2523
02:39:02,046 --> 02:39:05,849
and on long, daily dog walks. It was such a

2524
02:39:05,849 --> 02:39:08,351
relief to finally have a show where so many others

2525
02:39:08,411 --> 02:39:10,952
saw through all of the fibs from the governments and

2526
02:39:10,972 --> 02:39:15,255
the M5M without losing our minds. It wasn't long before

2527
02:39:15,315 --> 02:39:18,257
John completely grew on me. At first, I thought he

2528
02:39:18,297 --> 02:39:21,219
was a cranky old curmudgeon, but it turned out that

2529
02:39:21,299 --> 02:39:26,343
cranky old curmudgeon was exactly what I needed. bullcrap and

2530
02:39:26,423 --> 02:39:30,365
endless spirited bickering were the heart of the show. He

2531
02:39:30,405 --> 02:39:33,608
never won over my girlfriend, despite her initial hesitation over

2532
02:39:33,628 --> 02:39:36,570
the pro-Trump stances. She got hit in the mouth so

2533
02:39:36,710 --> 02:39:40,072
hard by John that she beat me to donating. And

2534
02:39:40,112 --> 02:39:42,374
now she wants to start a no agenda meetup here

2535
02:39:42,434 --> 02:39:48,778
in Toronto. Can't. Canuckistan. Canuckistan. You two build something truly

2536
02:39:48,838 --> 02:39:52,640
special. Sending strength to you and the whole No Agenda

2537
02:39:52,721 --> 02:39:56,423

2538
02:39:56,523 --> 02:40:01,186
in peace. Big love, Ash and Kat. P.S. Guess you'll

2539
02:40:01,226 --> 02:40:04,529
just have to train an AI JCD to drop a

2540

Know Agenda on a bike and almost fell down laughing

2543
02:40:18,538 --> 02:40:20,679
at one of John's stories. Thanks for the great work

2544
02:40:21,260 --> 02:40:24,182
all those years. This one brings me to knighthood. I

2545
02:40:24,222 --> 02:40:29,265
would like to be known as Sir Juraj. Uh... pronunciation

2556
02:41:15,136 --> 02:41:17,558
all the lawns John helped us mow over the years.

2557
02:41:17,998 --> 02:41:22,461
Rest in peace. Kevin Lacombe, 333. John would want me

2558
02:41:22,521 --> 02:41:24,563
to say this gets me to my next level after

02:41:24,623 --> 02:41:29,526
knighthood, even though no one ever takes it. S-O-S-L-C. I

2560

cents. To the Dvorak family, JCD was a treasure. I'm

2562
02:41:37,011 --> 02:41:39,673
so blessed to have found no agenda. I pray the

2563
02:41:39,733 --> 02:41:41,694
God I serve may be a comfort to you in

2564
02:41:41,734 --> 02:41:45,197
this difficult time. Jesus is more than able. Please reach

2565
02:41:45,297 --> 02:41:48,719
out to him. Adam, parts of my brain are appropriately

2566
02:41:48,779 --> 02:41:51,181
smaller due to no agenda. I'm able to give these

2567
02:41:51,261 --> 02:41:54,563
sats because of no agenda. Numerous families at my church

2568
02:41:54,703 --> 02:41:57,145
eat better beef and drink gigawatt coffee because of no

2569
02:41:57,145 --> 02:41:59,987
agenda. agenda. Thank you. I pray that our Lord gives

2570
02:41:59,987 --> 02:42:03,029
you strength as you mourn your close friend. Did JCD

2571
02:42:03,149 --> 02:42:11,114
leave California? Yeah, no. Prayers followed by a F-35 goat

2572
02:42:11,214 --> 02:42:16,058
scream. Hold on a second. Uh... I gotta get my...

2573
02:42:17,478 --> 02:42:29,467
Prayers. Yeah. F-35, oh my goodness. F-35... Yes, okay. You've

2574
02:42:29,467 --> 02:42:47,759
got... prayers. Jennifer Blazer in Flossmoor, Illinois, 31585. I was

2575
02:42:47,859 --> 02:42:50,581
shocked and saddened to read your newsletter announcing the passing

2576
02:42:50,641 --> 02:42:53,263
of John. Condolences to Adam and Mimi and his family.

2577
02:42:53,643 --> 02:42:56,045
While no one can replace John, the world needs to

2578
02:42:56,105 --> 02:43:00,007
continue to hear the analysis. I hope somehow it continues.

2579
02:43:00,508 --> 02:43:05,751
RIP, JCD. Sir James. I'll do a couple more. Okay,

2580
02:43:05,791 --> 02:43:08,513
good. Yeah, I'll do it up until the associates. These

2581
02:43:08,533 --> 02:43:11,275
are all executive producers, of course. All right. Sir James,

2582
02:43:11,315 --> 02:43:15,958
Vancouver, Washington, 30415, which is 288 plus 88. The fees?

2583
02:43:16,478 --> 02:43:19,040
Hail to the cranky geek. He died doing what he

2584
02:43:19,120 --> 02:43:24,984
loved, watching bad TV. Sir James of Southwest Washington. Lye

2585
02:43:25,084 --> 02:43:30,148
and Sophie, 30415. RIP, JCD. Squeeze those chairs from wherever

2586
02:43:30,208 --> 02:43:36,172
you are. Lye, LCDC, and Sophie. La Jolla Salt Corporation.

2587
02:43:36,232 --> 02:43:40,154
There you are, La Jolla, California, 30415. From our family

2588
02:43:40,235 --> 02:43:43,297
here at La Jolla Salt, Bidex in black, flags at

2589
02:43:43,357 --> 02:43:47,219
half, and drams at the ready. Godspeed, Dvorak. Karma to

2590
02:43:47,299 --> 02:43:49,741
Peter at the pearly gates for John is on your

2591
02:43:49,841 --> 02:43:53,103
side now. May God comfort and bless you all. Amen.

2592
02:43:54,284 --> 02:43:58,387
Dame Susan, 301 and 30 cents, and she sent in

2593
02:43:58,467 --> 02:44:00,929
a note. Hello, gentlemen. I was planning to send a

2594
02:44:00,969 --> 02:44:04,551
patriotic 250 donation this week, but the sudden unexpected passing

2595
02:44:04,611 --> 02:44:07,773
of Lady G, that's Lindsey Graham, made it obvious I

2596
02:44:07,853 --> 02:44:10,395
need to increase the amount. No agenda was the only

2597
02:44:10,455 --> 02:44:13,477
podcast in my universe working hard to present and deconstruct

2598
02:44:13,497 --> 02:44:16,639
this breaking news. Grateful for your continuing insights. All the

2599
02:44:16,659 --> 02:44:22,883
best. Dame Susan of the Soldner Wheel. And final executive

2600
02:44:22,923 --> 02:44:27,587
producer, Art Kuna, Fort Thomas, Kentucky, 300. I was listening

2601
02:44:27,607 --> 02:44:29,668
to the Sunday show when I received the news that

2602
02:44:29,728 --> 02:44:32,390
John had passed away, a total shock and bitter loss.

2603
02:44:33,010 --> 02:44:35,392
He was the best, and I learned much from him.

2604
02:44:35,852 --> 02:44:41,076
Art Kuna, M.D., An Unknown Knight. And from my friend

2605
02:44:41,156 --> 02:44:49,001
Linda Lou Patkin, $288.88. Like everyone else I've talked to

2606
02:44:49,141 --> 02:44:51,623
in the No Agenda family, I was deeply saddened to

2607
02:44:51,663 --> 02:44:54,585
hear of John's passing. He touched us all with his

2608
02:44:54,645 --> 02:44:58,728
sharp wit and astute wisdom, challenging us to think differently

2609
02:44:58,788 --> 02:44:59,208
every week.

2610
02:45:00,059 --> 02:45:03,642
Executive resume writer, I can't help but think John arrived

2611
02:45:03,722 --> 02:45:06,884
in heaven with an extraordinary resume, one filled with a

2612
02:45:06,944 --> 02:45:11,787
lifetime of curiosity, courage, humor, and a relentless pursuit of

2613
02:45:11,827 --> 02:45:15,110
the truth. If there are interviews in heaven, I have

2614
02:45:15,210 --> 02:45:18,812
no doubt he got the offer. Thank you, John. You

2615
02:45:18,872 --> 02:45:22,375
will be deeply missed. Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and

2616
02:45:22,435 --> 02:45:29,600
writer of winning resumes. Michael Cottrell, 28888. My deepest condolences

2617
02:45:29,639 --> 02:45:31,721
to Mimi and Adam and all the family members. It's

2618
02:45:31,761 --> 02:45:34,022
a loss of an institution on a scale that is

2619
02:45:34,203 --> 02:45:38,005
unimaginable. If my accounting is correct, I'm now a knight

2620
02:45:38,045 --> 02:45:43,209
with my donation gifts totaling, ironically, $1,008 Canadian, and we

2621
02:45:43,309 --> 02:45:46,151
honor that. Congratulations to Adam and his family with the

2622
02:45:46,171 --> 02:45:49,393
birth of his granddaughter. A couple of episodes behind, feverishly

2623
02:45:49,473 --> 02:45:52,035
trying to catch up. I asked to be knighted. Low

2624
02:45:52,155 --> 02:45:55,237
boy. Small anecdote. I was the producer who sent Adam

2625
02:45:55,337 --> 02:45:58,079
the 18-pound box of pennies. Oh, that was such a

2626
02:45:58,119 --> 02:46:01,601
nightmare. Adam thought it was a bomb and JCD wanted

2627
02:46:01,681 --> 02:46:03,783
him to open it on air in case it was

2628
02:46:03,883 --> 02:46:07,565
a bomb. I forgot about that. That was great. I

2629
02:46:07,685 --> 02:46:10,687
remember bringing those to the bank. That whole situation was

2630
02:46:10,767 --> 02:46:14,050
a nightmare. Sorry, JCD. Would have been a poor exit

2631
02:46:14,070 --> 02:46:17,892
strategy and messy to boot. RIP, JCD. ITM, hit him

2632
02:46:17,932 --> 02:46:20,474
in the mouth. Proud supporter of the No Agenda Show.

2633
02:46:21,695 --> 02:46:28,219
Greg Lambert, Overland Park, Kansas, $288.33. John's passing is a

2634
02:46:28,279 --> 02:46:30,741
real gut punch. They broke the mold when they made

2635
02:46:30,801 --> 02:46:37,305
him. RIP, JCD. Gone but never forgotten. John and Dina

2636
02:46:37,385 --> 02:46:41,408
Fuller, Colorado Springs. John Fuller of Focus on the Family.

2637
02:46:42,569 --> 02:46:47,012
um His wife has been just a constant, constant no-agenda

2638
02:46:47,072 --> 02:46:52,576
listener. 26684. We mourn with you in JCD's passing and

2639
02:46:52,596 --> 02:46:57,299
make this contribution 88.88 times 3. A most holy pairing

2640
02:46:57,359 --> 02:47:00,861
of numbers totaling 26664 as a tribute to him to

2641
02:47:00,921 --> 02:47:04,784
celebrate his life. John's life was remarkable, and his wit,

2642
02:47:05,024 --> 02:47:08,586
insights, and humor made our lives better. John's competence in

2643
02:47:08,647 --> 02:47:11,549
his one-of-a-kind journalism made others in the field seem so

2644
02:47:11,729 --> 02:47:16,712
shallow. His three-by-three and five-by-five, real, not fake like MSM,

2645
02:47:16,892 --> 02:47:22,836
journalism, insights, unique tech knowledge, wonderfully amazing stories, laughter, self-deprecating

2646
02:47:22,916 --> 02:47:28,160
humor, lovable curmudgeonishness, tenacity in his recent medical trials, love

2647
02:47:28,200 --> 02:47:33,123
for his family, tip-of-the-day life hacks, Costco wine tips, with

2648
02:47:33,283 --> 02:47:37,266
every remaining bottle of Costco Bordeaux. Skepticism of many things

2649
02:47:37,366 --> 02:47:40,228
and most of all, his rapport and approachability with Adam

2650
02:47:40,308 --> 02:47:42,509
for all these years leaves a huge hole in our

2651
02:47:42,549 --> 02:47:46,152
hearts and lives. We have loved John from afar and

2652
02:47:46,172 --> 02:47:48,854
while we never met him, we shed some tears over

2653
02:47:48,914 --> 02:47:51,215
his departure from this life. We will miss him sorely.

2654
02:47:51,736 --> 02:47:54,337
That said, we continue to pray for the Dvorak family

2655
02:47:54,377 --> 02:47:56,479
and all who knew and loved John. Looking at you,

2656
02:47:56,619 --> 02:48:00,101
Adam. For peace beyond understanding and for much grace in

2657
02:48:00,161 --> 02:48:03,904
those days where JCD's absence is particularly felt. We pray

2658
02:48:03,984 --> 02:48:07,026
especially for Mimi and the extended Dvorak family who have

2659
02:48:07,086 --> 02:48:10,088
lost an anchor and yet will press ahead to honor

2660
02:48:10,148 --> 02:48:13,611
John and his life. May God's grace be abundant. May

2661
02:48:13,671 --> 02:48:17,173
you know his peace and joy and while the pain

2662
02:48:17,253 --> 02:48:20,335
will never go completely away, may you see God's hand

2663
02:48:20,435 --> 02:48:22,997
in all things great and small as you remember John.

2664
02:48:23,417 --> 02:48:31,903
From John and Dina Fuller. Sir Infinitus with 263.22. What

2665
02:48:31,963 --> 02:48:35,786
a shock. God bless Mimi and his family. Condolences to

2666
02:48:35,906 --> 02:48:38,147
Adam and Andrew and to all the No Agenda Nation,

2667
02:48:38,627 --> 02:48:41,930
as well as his longtime editorial fans. I'm going to

2668
02:48:41,950 --> 02:48:45,112
kick my shoes off on today's flight, curl my toes,

2669
02:48:45,692 --> 02:48:51,636
and fist some nuts. Sir Infinitus. Kurt Kiefer, Austin, Texas,

2670
02:48:51,756 --> 02:48:55,979
$263.22. No note. That means a double up karma for

2671
02:48:56,059 --> 02:49:05,586
you, Kurt. You've got. BLAH! Harman. Mike Formanek, 263.22. Godspeed,

2672
02:49:05,646 --> 02:49:10,249
John. Praying for your family from Mike. John Whidden, 263.22.

2673
02:49:10,309 --> 02:49:12,991
No note. A double up karma for you, sir. You've

2674
02:49:13,051 --> 02:49:18,134
got... Karma. I'll keep going for a bit here. Ed

2675
02:49:18,354 --> 02:49:23,418
Cota. Summit, New Jersey 26322. I sent a Venmo donation,

2676
02:49:23,438 --> 02:49:26,300
so hopefully this message will be reconciled. I have donated

2677
02:49:26,320 --> 02:49:28,381
enough to be a knight, but that's not important to

2678
02:49:28,441 --> 02:49:31,003
me. What is important is the best podcast in the

2679
02:49:31,043 --> 02:49:35,606
universe and the joy it brings me consistently. RIPJCD. Thanks

2680
02:49:35,646 --> 02:49:38,748
for the tips. My condolences to the Dvorak clan. Adam,

2681
02:49:38,828 --> 02:49:41,410
I am praying for you. You've been given the gift

2682
02:49:41,510 --> 02:49:44,372
of carrying the light into darkness. May you continue to

2683
02:49:44,432 --> 02:49:47,414
bear the torch. The fire is alive. I'm just trying

2684
02:49:47,454 --> 02:49:49,155
to get my head around the timing out of all.

2685
02:49:49,656 --> 02:49:51,737
the birth of your grandchild and the death of so

2686
02:49:51,817 --> 02:49:55,079
many life-filled moments shared. I bend my knee to you,

2687
02:49:55,179 --> 02:49:58,982
my liege, carry- No Agenda Show and so much more

2688

2689
02:50:05,706 --> 02:50:10,630
26322. ITM from all the way down under. No agenda

2690
02:50:10,690 --> 02:50:12,891
has been familiar, shoulder to lean on in the times

2691
02:50:12,931 --> 02:50:16,474
of chaos. JCD will be missed enormously. Thanks for being

2692
02:50:16,514 --> 02:50:18,375
part of the best podcast in the universe and keep

2693
02:50:18,455 --> 02:50:22,237
smiling, Adam. Ross Udyka. There we go. Udyka. Thank you

2694
02:50:22,258 --> 02:50:27,901
very much. Commodore Crummy, El Cajon, California, 252.88. I have

2695
02:50:27,961 --> 02:50:30,083
no words to express my feelings on the loss of

2696
02:50:30,123 --> 02:50:33,565
JCD. Condolences and prayers for Mimi and family, as well

2697
02:50:33,605 --> 02:50:36,227
as Adam from Commodore Crummy. I'm going to go down

2698
02:50:36,467 --> 02:50:39,489
to... I'm going to do the two fifties here. Kevin

2699

2700
02:50:43,492 --> 02:50:46,254
are. Follow John from the 90s tech days to his

2701
02:50:46,314 --> 02:50:48,335
first day on no agenda, a huge part of my

2702
02:50:48,415 --> 02:50:53,319
life. Commodore Sir Baron John Helmer in Lenexa, Kansas. 250.

2703
02:50:53,979 --> 02:50:57,181
Dear Adam and Dvorak clan, words cannot express our sadness

2704
02:50:57,221 --> 02:51:00,684
at hearing of John's passing. Our deepest condolences, love and

2705
02:51:00,744 --> 02:51:04,826
light, John from the Helmers, Commodore Sir Baron and John

2706

02:51:20,217 --> 02:51:40,570
that's 250. his wisdom, his analysis, and an endearingly curmudgeonly

2708
02:51:40,671 --> 02:51:43,613
sense of humor. May he rest in peace. For my

2709
02:51:43,733 --> 02:51:46,635
Dame name, I would like to be Dame 678 of

2710

2711

2712
02:51:53,879 --> 02:51:56,741
bless Mimi, Jay, JC, and their families, and God bless

2713
02:51:56,781 --> 02:51:58,723

John for all these years. Miss B, the bag lady.

2718
02:52:12,632 --> 02:52:14,754
I don't know what to say about John. I'm just

2719
02:52:14,814 --> 02:52:17,476
sad since I've heard the news. I love and appreciate

2720
02:52:17,596 --> 02:52:19,797
both Adam and John and the show they have created.

2721
02:52:20,177 --> 02:52:22,479
My thoughts are with everyone who is missing John right

2722
02:52:22,559 --> 02:52:27,402

2725
02:52:42,252 --> 02:52:44,874
say. John, you've been a constant in my life for

2726
02:52:44,894 --> 02:52:48,997
the last six years. Your insights, knowledge, and venerable spirit,

2727
02:52:49,397 --> 02:52:53,320
nature, excuse me, will be greatly missed. To Mimi, Adam,

2728
02:52:53,380 --> 02:52:55,801

2729

2735
02:53:21,459 --> 02:53:24,481
Adam. No Agenda is truly the greatest podcast in the

2736
02:53:24,521 --> 02:53:27,923

couple here. Baron of Old Bay, 222, in Wilmington, Delaware.

2738

I'm truly sorry for John's passing. I'm praying for his

2739
02:53:34,428 --> 02:53:37,290
family and Adam. I'm finishing off my Viscount status. In

2740
02:53:37,350 --> 02:53:39,591
his honor, I will now be the Viscount of Old

2741
02:53:39,671 --> 02:53:41,753

2743
02:53:48,657 --> 02:53:50,639
Mimi and Adam, I never got to meet John in

2744
02:53:50,719 --> 02:53:53,981
person, but I spent six hours every week listening to

2745
02:53:54,081 --> 02:53:57,183
his sonorous voice and infectious laugh. I even got to

2746
02:53:57,223 --> 02:53:58,924
talk to him on the phone once and found the

2747
02:53:58,964 --> 02:54:01,906
whole thing fun and uplifting. My keeper Maggie and I

2748
02:54:01,966 --> 02:54:04,648
are devastated about his passing and tell you that we,

2759
02:54:42,874 --> 02:54:45,356
prayers are with Mimi and the entire Dvorak clan. I

2760
02:54:45,396 --> 02:54:47,857
cannot imagine losing my spouse and I know how painful

2761
02:54:47,957 --> 02:54:50,439
it is to lose your dad. I also pray the

2762
02:54:50,479 --> 02:54:54,502
spirit grants you and your family consolation. Adam, what JCD

2763
02:54:54,722 --> 02:54:57,944
brought is beyond definition, but it's obvious. He was much

2764
02:54:58,024 --> 02:55:01,426
more than simply a business partner. Additionally, I congratulate you

2765
02:55:01,506 --> 02:55:05,129

profoundly positive impact on this earth, and he will be

never know. I learned so much from John since the

2795
02:57:06,991 --> 02:57:09,473
early days of PC Magazine, and he's reminded me of

2796
02:57:09,593 --> 02:57:12,315
one final truth, that life is too damn short and

2797
02:57:12,395 --> 02:57:19,020
uncertain. Thank you, darling. There are far better ways to

2798
02:57:19,080 --> 02:57:23,563

my normal donation amount is $88.08, even though Adam thinks

2817
02:59:09,434 --> 02:59:15,719
it's some weird boob donation. I've listened since episode 211

2818
02:59:15,779 --> 02:59:19,301
and I can't believe John is gone. Adam and Mimi

loss. past 17 or so years. I hope it's not

2821
02:59:30,809 --> 02:59:34,311
selfish to hope. No agenda finds a way to continue

2822
02:59:34,551 --> 02:59:36,933
in some form so I don't go back to being

2823
02:59:36,973 --> 02:59:41,976
a grumpy old man. RIP JCD You've got prayers for

2824

03:03:04,204 --> 03:03:06,866
every other show, these credits are the real deal. They

2872
03:03:06,886 --> 03:03:10,228
are Hollywood credits recognized by Hollywood. You can even put

2873
03:03:10,248 --> 03:03:12,089
them on your IMDb. If you don't have one, you

2874
03:03:12,129 --> 03:03:15,232
can start one, imdb.com. Thank you very much for being

2875
03:03:15,272 --> 03:03:21,136
executive and associate executive producers. Our formula is this. We

2876
03:03:21,236 --> 03:03:39,748
hit people in the mouth. I try. I try. Jessica

2877
03:03:39,848 --> 03:03:50,896
Kenney, $198. And 89 cents. No note. You've got. Pharma.

2878
03:03:53,598 --> 03:04:00,682
Daryl Irons with $198.89. Rip John C. Dvorak. Long live

2879
03:04:00,762 --> 03:04:08,968
John C. Dvorak. Christy and Ryan, $198.89. Absolute buzzkill. Rip

2880
03:04:09,048 --> 03:04:12,470
John, sending hugs to Mimi, family, and Adam. Christy and

2881
03:04:12,510 --> 03:04:18,274
Ryan in Huntington Beach in Sequim, $188.88, plus the extorted

2882
03:04:18,374 --> 03:04:25,519
PayPal fees. Alex Boyt, $198.89. Oh, brother, give me a

2883
03:04:25,559 --> 03:04:30,663
break. Rip JCD. Should I do a couple here? I'll

2884
03:04:30,683 --> 03:04:34,145
take a word for you. Yeah, please. Michael Kimmerly, 198.89.

2885
03:04:34,165 --> 03:04:37,487
That's 188.88 in fees. Like all of you, I'm devastated

2886
03:04:37,547 --> 03:04:40,049
by the news of John's passing. Sharing a part of

2887
03:04:40,089 --> 03:04:42,190
someone's life twice a week, as we did with John

2888
03:04:42,250 --> 03:04:44,852
and Adam, somehow makes them seem to be greater than

2889
03:04:44,892 --> 03:04:48,675
the weakness that we all share. Even after his heart

2890
03:04:48,755 --> 03:04:51,357
attack, John seemed to bounce back strong and ready to

2891
03:04:51,437 --> 03:04:54,119
just keep going. John was more than just the no

2892
03:04:54,219 --> 03:04:56,800
agenda show for me. He was a valuable source of

2893
03:04:56,900 --> 03:05:02,664
information and inspiration, 50 years. His columns, his musings on

2894
03:05:02,764 --> 03:05:06,087
Substack, and his podcasts were all invaluable for so many

2895
03:05:06,147 --> 03:05:09,469
different reasons. He was a modern-day Renaissance man in the

2896
03:05:09,509 --> 03:05:12,731
true sense of the word. I agree. My sincerest condolences

2897
03:05:12,771 --> 03:05:15,793
to Mimi, John's family, Adam, and everyone else whose life

2898
03:05:15,853 --> 03:05:18,515
was touched by JCD. I will pray for you all.

2899
03:05:18,715 --> 03:05:22,438
John's legacy lives on in many, many ways forever. ITM.

2900
03:05:23,338 --> 03:05:27,941
Andrew Bentley, Olympia, Washington, 18888 with the fees. I salute

2901
03:05:28,001 --> 03:05:30,583
JCD and want Adam, Mimi, and all the Dvorak clan

2902
03:05:30,663 --> 03:05:32,244
to know that they have a lot of support in

2903
03:05:32,284 --> 03:05:35,046
the No Agenda community. I look forward to hearing Thursday's

2904
03:05:35,086 --> 03:05:38,128
show and will miss John's voice terribly. God bless all

2905
03:05:38,188 --> 03:05:43,232
of you. Sir Charismatic, 18888 with the fees. Adam and

2906
03:05:43,252 --> 03:05:46,274
the Dvorak family. I can't express how hard this news

2907
03:05:46,334 --> 03:05:48,515
hit me today, and I can't even begin to imagine

2908
03:05:48,535 --> 03:05:51,597
the emotions and sadness you all feel. John was the

2909
03:05:51,637 --> 03:05:53,299
type of person I would have loved to have had

2910
03:05:53,359 --> 03:05:56,020
a drink with and just talk. I've been listening to

2911
03:05:56,080 --> 03:05:58,802
him for over 20 years. I wish I had a

2912
03:05:58,822 --> 03:06:01,404
drink when we were talking. I've been listening to him

2913
03:06:01,444 --> 03:06:03,926
for over 20 years, and I'm not sure there's a

2914
03:06:03,986 --> 03:06:06,287
voice that will fill the void his absence will leave.

2915
03:06:06,708 --> 03:06:08,409
I know it isn't much, but I tried to put

2916
03:06:08,409 --> 03:06:11,971
a collage together to honor him, hoping for a night-name

2917
03:06:12,051 --> 03:06:15,574
change from Sir Charismatic to Sir Valence, creator of bonds.

2918
03:06:15,734 --> 03:06:21,418
With love and thoughts, Chris Mitzloff, Sir Charismatic. Tian and

2919
03:06:22,398 --> 03:06:26,181
Andrew from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, $188 with the fees. Dear

2920
03:06:26,281 --> 03:06:30,203
John's family and Adam, please accept our donation of $198.89,

2921
03:06:30,244 --> 03:06:33,706
which is $188.88 plus fees. We are both shocked and

2922
03:06:33,766 --> 03:06:35,947
saddened to receive the news, and we still can't believe

2923
03:06:36,027 --> 03:06:38,509
what's happened as John and the show had a big

2924
03:06:38,669 --> 03:06:41,071
impact on our lives, the way we think about the

2925
03:06:41,091 --> 03:06:45,694
world. Andrew, in particular, recounts. My first encounter with John

2926
03:06:46,114 --> 03:06:48,436
was as a young boy growing up in South Africa,

2927
03:06:48,456 --> 03:06:51,058
maybe around 30 years ago. I used to read PC

2928
03:06:51,278 --> 03:06:54,980
magazine editions borrowed from the public library, and despite reading

2929
03:06:55,040 --> 03:06:56,982
so many, the only thing I can remember for them

2930
03:06:57,362 --> 03:06:59,043
was that I read an article written by him. I

2931
03:06:59,503 --> 03:07:01,805
thought his last name was merely a pen name related

2932
03:07:01,885 --> 03:07:04,447
to the keyboard layout, and it was the first time

2933
03:07:04,447 --> 03:07:08,049
I'd ever seen the word Kafkaesque used. If I recall

2934
03:07:08,149 --> 03:07:11,231
correctly, he was complaining about something. I found it more

2935
03:07:11,311 --> 03:07:15,594
real than anything else I'd read. I later learned to

2936
03:07:15,674 --> 03:07:18,716
appreciate Kafka's work as well. Maybe it has something to

2937
03:07:18,716 --> 03:07:22,019
do with John's reference. Later on, rediscovering him through the

2938
03:07:22,039 --> 03:07:25,261
show was an unexpected delight. He touched many people's lives

2939
03:07:25,301 --> 03:07:28,583
in positive ways, perhaps more than he realized. Thank you

2940
03:07:28,643 --> 03:07:31,065
for everything and sending you all our strength and love

2941
03:07:31,125 --> 03:07:34,447
during this sad and difficult time. Tian and Andrew. Okay,

2942
03:07:34,867 --> 03:07:36,528
we'll take the next few so you can get some

2943
03:07:36,528 --> 03:07:43,673
water. Thank you. Russ, Cheatwood, Sand Springs, Oklahoma, $198.89. No

2944
03:07:43,773 --> 03:07:52,039
note. Double up karma. You've got... BLAH! Farmer. Sir Galtran

2945
03:07:52,239 --> 03:07:59,564
of the Gutland. 198 and 88 cents plus the... 198.

2946
03:08:00,024 --> 03:08:04,227
198. That's the fees. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

2947
03:08:04,407 --> 03:08:07,549
May John rest in peace and always be remembered as

2948
03:08:07,629 --> 03:08:12,573
the unmistakable voice of no agenda. Ser Galtaran of the

2949
03:08:12,593 --> 03:08:18,257
Gutland. Commodore Earl Silverdude of the Silver Dolphins from Edsburg,

2950
03:08:19,658 --> 03:08:27,023
Maryland, United States. $198.89. Commodore Earl Silverdude of the Silver

2951
03:08:27,083 --> 03:08:31,546
Dolphins. Now I'm a sad puppy. That newsletter really ruined

2952
03:08:31,566 --> 03:08:34,528
my day. Thanks, John. I'm going to miss the Cranky

2953
03:08:34,608 --> 03:08:38,310
Geek. My condolences to the Dvorak family. And here is

2954
03:08:38,330 --> 03:08:43,454
$188 plus $0.88 plus the fees to keep the legacy

2955
03:08:43,534 --> 03:08:47,957
going. Charles Mayfield, same amount. These next few are all

2956
03:08:47,957 --> 03:08:54,321
$198.89. Um, no note. Yes, this is Charles Mayfield from

2957
03:08:54,501 --> 03:08:58,684
pharaoh.life and we appreciate hearing from you. You've got other

2958
03:08:58,704 --> 03:09:04,008
stuff right now. Yes, you remember the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh.life

2959
03:09:04,108 --> 03:09:07,550
products? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. Yeah, your dog

2960
03:09:07,630 --> 03:09:09,711
loved it, I'm sure. Well, you had it on. Yes,

2961
03:09:10,332 --> 03:09:15,876
absolutely. Matthew Gebhardt. Thank you for all the entertainment news

2962
03:09:15,936 --> 03:09:18,978
and wonderful memories. JCD had a positive impact on the

2963
03:09:18,998 --> 03:09:21,319
world. He will be missed. To his family, thank you

2964
03:09:21,379 --> 03:09:25,522
for sharing him with all of us. Adam of the

2965
03:09:25,602 --> 03:09:31,826
Koch Empire, 1888 and the Fiends. He came, he saw,

2966
03:09:31,947 --> 03:09:36,389
he kicked ass. Rest easy, friend. I've read JCD's work

2967
03:09:36,470 --> 03:09:39,732
for decades and have enjoyed his dry, honest opinions from

2968
03:09:39,772 --> 03:09:44,155
everything computer-based to writing about philosophical topics in the Oasis.

2969
03:09:44,995 --> 03:09:48,378
John's literary and TV show work spans my whole life.

2970
03:09:48,878 --> 03:09:51,420
The Zephyr is waiting to take John on his last

2971
03:09:51,540 --> 03:09:55,342
ride into the sunset. John's voice will remain amongst us

2972
03:09:55,502 --> 03:09:59,945
forever, just like the mud flats outside his window. P.S.

2973
03:10:00,326 --> 03:10:04,388
I'll be waiting for the Dana Brunetti biopic on JCD.

2974
03:10:04,388 --> 03:10:07,791
Hopefully we get to see the real truth on what

2975
03:10:07,931 --> 03:10:11,213
happened in that limousine ride with the fine sign back

2976
03:10:11,213 --> 03:10:18,018
in 1980s. ITM forever. P.P.S. Thanks for introducing me to

2977
03:10:18,078 --> 03:10:25,743
Horowitz. I'm a client. Wow. William Fleming, 198. We love

2978
03:10:25,803 --> 03:10:30,686
you, John. The OG, Cranky Geek, and Buzzkill extraordinaire. Sending

2979
03:10:30,746 --> 03:10:34,369
love and prayers to Mimi, their family, and Adam. I'll

2980
03:10:34,629 --> 03:10:46,397
pick up a few here. Countess Dame Meaudison, who we

2981
03:10:46,477 --> 03:10:56,364
know personally, and she says, laugh always made me smile.

2982
03:10:56,704 --> 03:10:59,386
I love the Zephyr reports and always caught me off

2983
03:10:59,466 --> 03:11:01,827
guard in the best way when John made saucy jokes

2984
03:11:01,907 --> 03:11:05,270
or dropped the elusive F-bomb. He could hardly ever pronounce

2985
03:11:05,370 --> 03:11:08,112
Meowdison and I wouldn't have it any other way. I

2986
03:11:08,272 --> 03:11:11,354
absolutely loved hearing him butcher Dutch cities and I'll never

2987
03:11:11,434 --> 03:11:13,695
forget how he made fun of my round table requests

2988
03:11:13,976 --> 03:11:17,238
when I was named Pellegrino and purring kitties. Plenty of

2989
03:11:17,358 --> 03:11:20,600
items weren't edible, John. I also once sent in a

2990
03:11:20,660 --> 03:11:23,502
check with beagles on it, especially for John. He thought

2991
03:11:23,602 --> 03:11:26,644
Adam said it had bagels I had a nice exasperated

2992
03:11:26,724 --> 03:11:29,206
laugh at that one as well. I've included a photo

2993
03:11:29,346 --> 03:11:31,527
taken at the Delray Beach meetup where I was blessed

2994
03:11:31,527 --> 03:11:33,809
to meet Adam and Tina for a second time, and

2995
03:11:33,849 --> 03:11:36,851
I think it shows my enthusiastic feelings for John. He

2996
03:11:36,891 --> 03:11:39,273
will truly be missed by so many people. May he

2997
03:11:39,353 --> 03:11:41,954
live on forever in our hearts and memories. Oh my

2998
03:11:42,034 --> 03:11:45,037
God, listen to that horn. Cheers, John. I'd just like

2999
03:11:45,097 --> 03:11:49,179
to stop for one second here because I got an

3000
03:11:49,379 --> 03:11:54,323
audio note from Sir Patrick, Duke of the South. And

3001
03:11:54,523 --> 03:11:56,344
I didn't know if he would be in the donations

3002
03:11:56,404 --> 03:12:01,107
or not. But he is by far the most well-traveled

3003
03:12:01,147 --> 03:12:04,370
man in no agenda nation, has been to almost every

3004
03:12:04,450 --> 03:12:08,432
single meetup. You go to London, oh, there's Patrick. Patrick

3005
03:12:08,432 --> 03:12:11,334
Coble, Duke of the South. Amsterdam, oh, there's Patrick. Oh,

3006
03:12:11,575 --> 03:12:13,776
it doesn't matter where he would show up. And I

3007
03:12:13,856 --> 03:12:18,559
really wanted to share his heartfelt audio note with everyone.

3008
03:12:18,920 --> 03:12:20,901
John, I'll try to keep this note as short as

3009
03:12:20,981 --> 03:12:23,563
possible because I know how you feel about show notes.

3010
03:12:23,563 --> 03:12:26,084
Thank you. You were an amazing man who lived an

3011
03:12:26,104 --> 03:12:30,347
amazing life, did amazing things, had an amazing family, and

3012
03:12:30,407 --> 03:12:33,970
you built, with Adam, the best podcast in the universe

3013
03:12:34,250 --> 03:12:38,253
for real man. No joking. I was a fan of

3014
03:12:38,333 --> 03:12:41,695
you in the 80s. When I heard you had a

3015
03:12:41,735 --> 03:12:44,297
podcast, I knew I wanted to hear it. I heard

3016
03:12:44,317 --> 03:12:46,978
that Adam was on there. I was even more excited

3017
03:12:47,099 --> 03:12:50,421
because I had been reading your content for so many

3018
03:12:50,461 --> 03:12:55,204
years and building, as you were building your signature Buzzkill

3019
03:12:55,304 --> 03:12:59,347
brand, along with listening to Adam and doing his things

3020
03:12:59,447 --> 03:13:03,930
on MTV. You will always be a technology legend with

3021
03:13:03,950 --> 03:13:06,432
your thoughts on all the things over the years, even

3022
03:13:06,452 --> 03:13:10,114
the mouse. I don't think you knew when you started

3023
03:13:10,174 --> 03:13:12,696
No Agenda that you wouldn't just be talking to an

3024
03:13:12,756 --> 03:13:16,719
acquaintance once a week, twice a week, but actually making

3025
03:13:16,739 --> 03:13:20,241
a brother and growing your family with Adam. The no

3026
03:13:20,321 --> 03:13:23,383
agenda community that you two have built has changed the

3027
03:13:23,403 --> 03:13:26,305
world in many ways that can never be quantified or

3028
03:13:26,345 --> 03:13:30,928
typed in a note or books or books. It has

3029
03:13:30,968 --> 03:13:35,011
become a force of nature. I think an important chapter

3030
03:13:35,071 --> 03:13:41,755
of the show started to change when. were put together.

3031
03:13:42,876 --> 03:13:46,379
which those meetups impacted the people listening to a podcast

3032
03:13:46,439 --> 03:13:48,640
in a way that has never been done before and

3033
03:13:48,680 --> 03:13:51,022
never will be. I wanted to make sure and call

3034
03:13:51,142 --> 03:13:55,265
out Sir Daniel of the No Agenda Meetup site for

3035
03:13:55,345 --> 03:13:58,367
changing the No Agenda culture. And because of those meetups,

3036
03:13:58,467 --> 03:14:01,689
people around the world have met and relationships and weddings

3037
03:14:01,769 --> 03:14:04,351
and kids and things have all happened around the world

3038
03:14:04,431 --> 03:14:07,573
because of those meetups. I was able to be blessed

3039
03:14:07,773 --> 03:14:10,115
and able to hang out and get to hang out

3040
03:14:10,155 --> 03:14:13,017
with you a couple times and get to go. get

3041
03:14:13,077 --> 03:14:14,818
you out of the house to go do a meetup

3042
03:14:15,358 --> 03:14:18,841
at the Sacramento Train Museum and ride the Zephyr with

3043
03:14:18,901 --> 03:14:21,843
you and the family, which will always be a core

3044
03:14:21,883 --> 03:14:24,685
memory. That day, I got to sit back on the

3045
03:14:24,725 --> 03:14:27,566
train and at the meetup and at the restaurant and

3046
03:14:27,627 --> 03:14:30,509
just hear your stories and see you do your thing

3047
03:14:30,889 --> 03:14:33,451
and see you talk to the community, them talk to

3048
03:14:33,511 --> 03:14:36,713
you that you had built. It was amazing. Because of

3049
03:14:36,793 --> 03:14:38,994
those meetups, I've been able to go to meetups all

3050
03:14:39,074 --> 03:14:45,959
over the world Astrid in Japan and Duke Nussbaum and

3051
03:14:46,339 --> 03:14:51,082
Kevin Dills and many other knights and an uncountable amount

3052
03:14:51,202 --> 03:14:55,185
of producers and even a couple douchebags too. You changed

3053
03:14:55,245 --> 03:14:59,428
my life by getting me deeper into tech, which started

3054
03:14:59,468 --> 03:14:59,988
my career.

3055
03:15:45,851 --> 03:15:49,733
Back on March 6th, 2008, called No Agenda with a

name called Episode 20 called Never Say No to a

3057

Soldier Would Have Changed. While this note kind of went

3058
03:15:57,939 --> 03:16:01,501
long, John, sorry about that. But lastly, we love you

3059
03:16:01,741 --> 03:16:03,903
and your family and the family you have been with.

3069
03:17:25,238 --> 03:17:33,643
You've got to say the number. What row number is

03:17:33,724 --> 03:17:42,029
this? I got lost. 137. 138. 138. It was 198.89.

you and your family for your loss. We understand that

3075
03:17:59,781 --> 03:18:01,983
loss may be greater than ours. Nonetheless, we feel a

deep sense of mourning as to. We will always remember

3077
03:18:05,965 --> 03:18:08,587
John for his knowledge of wine from Costco, vinegar, the

3078
03:18:08,627 --> 03:18:11,689
wedding on that book, John, ants, airplane peanuts, and of

course his. dot com The anecdote. endless, the disagreements with

3080
03:18:18,314 --> 03:18:22,877
Adam, priceless. His contributions to Twit were what got us

3081
03:18:22,897 --> 03:18:25,819
admiring John. Then on to DH Unplugged to get more

3082
03:18:25,819 --> 03:18:28,140
of what we needed to hear. More John, always balancing

3083
03:18:28,200 --> 03:18:31,623
out the discussion with Andrew Horowitz. Needless to say, we

3084
03:18:31,743 --> 03:18:33,724
found our true joy in listening to John and Adam

3085
03:18:33,784 --> 03:18:36,246
on the best podcast in the universe, the No Agenda

3086
03:18:36,286 --> 03:18:40,469
Show. The attached photo was from what we consider one

3087
03:18:40,469 --> 03:18:43,030
of the earliest, if not the very first, No Agenda

3088
03:18:43,070 --> 03:18:45,592
meetups in New York City in 2016 at Sparks Restaurant.

3089
03:18:46,153 --> 03:18:48,114
We told John that Neither of us had Facebook accounts,

3090
03:18:48,194 --> 03:18:50,696
and he immediately put his arm around us right away

3091
03:18:50,716 --> 03:18:55,199
and congratulated us on the achievement. Mimi's expression behind us

3092
03:18:55,239 --> 03:18:58,181
was priceless. John, we will miss you. Rest in peace.

3093

3104
03:20:13,432 --> 03:20:16,994
35 years ago as your articles in PCMag, etc., helped

3105
03:20:17,034 --> 03:20:19,676
inspire me to become a computer engineer. You're a widely

loved and... light. Adam and Mimi, I'm heartbroken. This is

3107
03:20:27,401 --> 03:20:29,643
just like when my father died. In the morning will

3108
03:20:29,663 --> 03:20:32,925
never quite be the same. I first saw John on

3109
03:20:33,025 --> 03:20:35,867
one of the Laporte- Adam, I'm going to email you

3110
03:20:35,907 --> 03:20:40,610
a little longer reply if that's okay. ITM. Dominic Vital,

3111
03:20:40,670 --> 03:20:46,714
198.81 cents, 188.80 plus fees. I've been listening to No

3112
03:20:46,774 --> 03:20:49,196
Agenda since I was 13 and religiously enjoyed The Takes

3113
03:20:49,256 --> 03:20:52,358
of John, keeping all my prayers. And thank you all

3114
03:20:52,438 --> 03:20:59,263
for all that you two have provided. Oh my goodness,

3115
03:20:59,263 --> 03:21:05,847
this one's... I'll read Certain Death. 194.07. I've been a

3116
03:21:05,907 --> 03:21:10,770
producer since 2016. I can't begin to describe what the

3117
03:21:10,850 --> 03:21:13,592
show John and Adam have meant to me. The two

3118
03:21:13,672 --> 03:21:15,914
of you have kept me sane in years that tried

3119
03:21:15,954 --> 03:21:20,417
to make me insane. my head, keeping me on the

3120
03:21:20,437 --> 03:21:23,099
straight and narrow, not just with what is going on

3121
03:21:23,179 --> 03:21:24,680
in the world, but somehow the chaos is going on.

3122
03:21:25,200 --> 03:21:29,583
my own life. John's passing for a long time. Thank

3123
03:21:29,663 --> 03:21:35,007
you for your courage forever. I made an 88.88 donation

3124
03:21:35,547 --> 03:21:38,629
and later decided to up my peerage to Baronet with

3125
03:21:38,689 --> 03:21:44,613
$184.30 as an extended tribute. Sir Tin Death, regretting this

3126
03:21:44,713 --> 03:21:49,436
night name. Now, bear it at. I'll pick this up

03:21:49,497 --> 03:21:53,739
with Craig Weinberg, who I know quite well, Millbank, South

3128
03:21:53,779 --> 03:22:00,084
Dakota, 18889. This show, 1888, is the episode I never

3129
03:22:00,124 --> 03:22:03,366
really wanted to actually happen. Words are hard to come

3130
03:22:03,386 --> 03:22:06,308
by after hearing of John's passing. John is the reason

3131
03:22:06,368 --> 03:22:09,570
I found no agenda from watching Twit in early 2009.

3132
03:22:09,650 --> 03:22:12,652
He made the show worth watching. The timbre of his

3133
03:22:12,712 --> 03:22:14,994
voice has been a constant in my life ever since.

3134
03:22:15,934 --> 03:22:19,057
My dad under very similar circumstances last fall so my

3135
03:22:19,117 --> 03:22:21,338
heart especially goes out to everyone who loved him the

3136
03:22:21,418 --> 03:22:25,121
legacy John leaves behind is incredible Mimi I'm grateful to

3137
03:22:25,161 --> 03:22:28,543
have gotten to know you and I'm saddened John And

3138
03:22:28,663 --> 03:22:31,505
I never found time to connect on the interview podcast

3139
03:22:31,605 --> 03:22:34,847
you and your family are in our prayers Adam well

3140
03:22:34,887 --> 03:22:38,270
you and JCD built together is incredible your media deconstruction

3141
03:22:38,350 --> 03:22:41,932
paired with John's wit insight an endless story Created something

3142
03:22:41,992 --> 03:22:45,014
we may not see again for a generation John will

3143
03:22:45,054 --> 03:22:47,316
be deeply missed and I'm grateful you'll carry on the

3144
03:22:47,376 --> 03:22:50,158
show. Rest in peace, JCD. See you on the other

3145
03:22:50,238 --> 03:22:58,223
side. Black Knight, Craig Weinberg. By Rav Patel, 18889. First

03:22:58,263 --> 03:23:03,367
of all, please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. Thank you,

3147
03:23:03,447 --> 03:23:05,348
John and Adam, for all the years of lifting the

3148
03:23:05,368 --> 03:23:08,850
veil of Maya, of mainstream media, and shrinking our amygdalas.

3149
03:23:08,910 --> 03:23:11,132
John C. Dvorak, we will surely miss you. Rest in

your loved ones, friends, and the no agenda community. God

3156
03:23:40,832 --> 03:23:43,033
will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be

3157
03:23:43,073 --> 03:23:45,695
no more death or mourning or crying or pain for

3158
03:23:45,735 --> 03:23:49,698
the old order of things has passed away. Sir Hank,

a constant voice of reason in the insanity. Thank you,

3200
03:26:43,996 --> 03:26:46,978
John, for your expertise, stories, and insights. You are one

3201
03:26:47,018 --> 03:26:50,540
of a kind and will be missed. Daniel Shore, San

the show for a year and deeply saddened that john

3211
03:27:55,024 --> 03:28:03,730
has departed Please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. I stepped

3212
03:28:03,790 --> 03:28:07,112
on the no jingles. That's okay. No, just like John.

3213

3219
03:28:44,337 --> 03:28:47,019
I'm sad it's after John's passing. Rest in peace, JCD.

3223
03:29:06,092 --> 03:29:09,554

3224
03:29:09,594 --> 03:29:12,476
booked and my hotel reservations made to attend the Northern

Silicon Valley Get John Out of the House meetup next

3226
03:29:15,538 --> 03:29:18,460
month. I had planned to casually walk up to John

3227
03:29:18,560 --> 03:29:23,204
and say, somebody shut that baby up. My backup option,

3228
03:29:23,444 --> 03:29:26,306
in case that didn't fit the mood of the gathering,

3229
03:29:26,366 --> 03:29:32,010
was to announce that I've got ants. Guaranteed the buzzkill

3230
03:29:32,110 --> 03:29:34,972
would show up to the meeting in the first place

3231
03:29:35,112 --> 03:29:37,994
I would now like to register my remarks in memoriam

3232
03:29:38,754 --> 03:29:41,156
my sister Lauren and I plan to still attend the

3233
03:29:41,196 --> 03:29:44,718
meetup Provided that it will still be happening It's still

3234
03:29:44,798 --> 03:29:48,481
happening we might even pregame at the hotels by fisting

3235
03:29:48,521 --> 03:29:51,583
some nuts and pairing them with some JCDs famous Costco

3236
03:29:51,723 --> 03:29:55,165
wine picks There will never be another like our John

3237

No Agenda Artist community hit me in the mouth repeatedly

3252
03:32:35,585 --> 03:32:38,367
since episode one. It only took me 400 episodes to

3253
03:32:38,407 --> 03:32:41,129
start listening full time, so I'm long overdue and my

3254
03:32:41,209 --> 03:32:43,910
value catch up starts now. Families that listen to No

3255
03:32:43,910 --> 03:32:48,273
Agenda I'm committing myself to regular donations to keep the

3256
03:32:48,313 --> 03:32:53,517
show going as I mentors, and a huge and hugely

3257
03:32:53,537 --> 03:32:56,919
valuable. I would not have made it through working in

3258
03:32:56,979 --> 03:32:59,941
the Texas oil fields and numerous ventures without your collective

3259
03:33:00,001 --> 03:33:02,863
clarity and voice of reason. I think of the heavy

3260
03:33:02,983 --> 03:33:04,805
influence the two of you have had on my career

3261
03:33:04,865 --> 03:33:07,366
and personal life, and I'm truly grateful and thankful for

3262
03:33:07,426 --> 03:33:10,248
that. John will be dearly missed. I can almost hear

3263
03:33:10,288 --> 03:33:17,293
him critiquing my poor grammar. Is your energy sense of

3264
03:33:17,353 --> 03:33:19,775
humor is something I really look forward to every week.

3265

No jingles, no karma, just a double up karma for

the Dvorak family. Humbly, Andy Hall, Ponal, Maine. Oops, sorry

3267

Jeffrey Betancourt, 173.77. Can't believe I'm being de-douche because of

3277
03:34:20,716 --> 03:34:24,158
this. I guess you're going to be de-douche. You've been.

3278
03:34:24,959 --> 03:34:28,941
I've been a listener for years, never donated. I remember

3279
03:34:29,122 --> 03:34:32,504
reading John and... He's truly a legend and will be

3280
03:34:32,584 --> 03:34:35,446
greatly missed. As a Scott Adams fan, this is almost

3281
03:34:35,566 --> 03:34:40,189
too much to take. R.I.P. Sir Egghead, Dayton, Ohio, 155-1.

100 plus double nickels on the dime. JCD will be

3283
03:34:43,511 --> 03:34:46,333
missed bigly. He's moved on to the better frequency, I

3284
03:34:46,413 --> 03:34:49,455
think. Respectfully, the show should end now. I love my

3285
03:34:49,575 --> 03:34:52,818
truck. I don't think the show's going to end. It'll

3286
03:34:52,858 --> 03:34:57,421
change. Something's going to change for sure. Sir Sofa, King

Pool, Roseville, California, 155. It was hard for me to

3288
03:35:01,203 --> 03:35:04,966
believe this with the email and just searching online to

3289
03:35:05,046 --> 03:35:07,688
make sure. Praying for you, Adam, Mimi, and the family.

3290
03:35:08,008 --> 03:35:11,450
I love John's perspective, his laughter. Mostly going to miss

3291
03:35:11,510 --> 03:35:14,752
him correcting everyone's mistakes in their notes they leave. After

3292
03:35:14,813 --> 03:35:17,194
my first failed note, it encouraged me to reread my

3293
03:35:17,274 --> 03:35:19,776
notes several times for corrections to make sure I didn't

3294
03:35:19,796 --> 03:35:28,141
let him down. Nick. Overijssel in the Netherlands 155. Hello,

3295
03:35:28,502 --> 03:35:30,603
John will be remembered and felt in years to come.

3296
03:35:30,623 --> 03:35:33,485
He is watching from above and below, says Nick Fink.

3297
03:35:34,166 --> 03:35:37,488
Long time in the center, 19 years. That was so

3298
03:35:37,648 --> 03:35:41,110
funny, Mimi, when I said to you that Tina and

3299
03:35:41,230 --> 03:35:43,772
I, when we heard the news that we immediately started

3300
03:35:43,812 --> 03:35:46,594
praying for John to be saved and go to heaven,

3301
03:35:47,134 --> 03:35:49,896
and you said, I don't think any of his friends

3302
03:35:49,916 --> 03:35:55,880
will be there. I know. That cracked me up. I'd

3303
03:35:55,940 --> 03:35:59,062
be surprised. You know, I know he's hanging out with

3304
03:35:59,102 --> 03:36:04,846
my mom at some bar somewhere pretty warm. Constantinos Pilides,

3305
03:36:04,846 --> 03:36:08,048
150. JCD, thank you for hitting me in the mouth.

3306
03:36:08,089 --> 03:36:11,291
You entertained me, educated me, enlightened me, and most importantly,

3307
03:36:11,451 --> 03:36:13,952
challenged me to think twice a week for so long.

3308
03:36:14,473 --> 03:36:16,654
I cannot express my gratitude and what you've meant to

3309
03:36:16,714 --> 03:36:25,941
me. Kathleen Anderson, Avon, Connecticut, 140.43. God bless Mimi. Adam.

honor of John's disdain for long notes thanks boys John

3312
03:36:35,067 --> 03:36:38,049
you will be missed but not forgotten Adam from Minnesota

3314

33 I'll keep it short as Jason starting from the

3315
03:36:46,695 --> 03:36:50,077
back cover of my first PC magazine at 15. Dvorak

3316
03:36:50,217 --> 03:36:52,859
helped shape me, who I am, and the life I

3317
03:36:52,959 --> 03:36:54,940
have today. Thank you for everything, John. I hope you

3318
03:36:55,020 --> 03:36:59,583
enjoy the exit. Charles Wheeler. Go ahead. We can jump

3319
03:36:59,623 --> 03:37:01,905
in for a minute. You've been talking too long. JC,

3320
03:37:02,065 --> 03:37:09,910
take this one. Wait. 188. 188. Charles Wheeler. No, no,

3321
03:37:10,130 --> 03:37:15,514
I got it. I got it. Charles Wheeler. 128. 88.

3322
03:37:16,014 --> 03:37:20,077
Mimi, the Dvorak family, and Adam, my heartfelt condolences on

3323
03:37:20,137 --> 03:37:22,039
your loss. I found out about No Agenda during the

3324
03:37:22,079 --> 03:37:24,060
COVID era when I was very close to retiring from

3325
03:37:24,080 --> 03:37:26,722
the army, which were some wild times. Since then, the

3326
03:37:26,762 --> 03:37:31,085
media, deconstruction, amygdala shrinkage, and value I have received have

3327
03:37:31,125 --> 03:37:34,847
been invaluable. JCD will be sorely missed in whatever form

3328
03:37:34,947 --> 03:37:37,469
the show takes. Gitmo Nation, the tech world, and the

3329
03:37:37,469 --> 03:37:40,651
podcast land have lost a founding father. On this sad

3330
03:37:40,731 --> 03:37:42,573
day, I am a knight, but if no knightings are

3331
03:37:42,593 --> 03:37:46,855
taking place, please save it for another time. happening. Please

3345
03:39:19,058 --> 03:39:20,779
the end of that was JCD. Thank you for your

3346

courage for these many years. You will be missed. Keep

3348
03:39:26,343 --> 03:39:29,605
second? Can we set the spooky John donate to like

3349
03:39:29,645 --> 03:39:31,906
have a minimum donation? Because I feel like he would

3350
03:39:31,947 --> 03:39:34,388
want it to be like a 188 minimum for that

3355
03:39:56,683 --> 03:39:58,965
sad to hear of JCD's passing. The show has provided

3356
03:39:58,965 --> 03:40:01,266
me with plenty of valuable information over the years. I

3357
03:40:01,286 --> 03:40:03,388
always enjoyed hearing John's take on the media, and we'll

3358
03:40:03,408 --> 03:40:11,013

JCD's fave donation numbers. Lots of emotions as I feel

3364
03:40:33,128 --> 03:40:35,830
like I lost a friend. I love John's wit and

3365
03:40:35,850 --> 03:40:38,952
his ability to make me laugh effortlessly. He will still

3366
03:40:39,012 --> 03:40:41,554
gripe in heaven, so I hope Jesus is ready. Pissing

3367
03:40:41,614 --> 03:40:57,064
nuts. Not sure. The fisting method. I see this on

3368
03:40:57,144 --> 03:40:59,146
the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it

3369
03:40:59,185 --> 03:41:04,589
will result in fights breaking out. Guy takes his bag

3370
03:41:04,689 --> 03:41:07,851
of peanuts and he throws a pile of them into

3371
03:41:07,951 --> 03:41:10,473
his palm of his hand and then he makes a

3372
03:41:10,713 --> 03:41:18,218
fist around And then he to try to bring a

3373
03:41:18,359 --> 03:41:23,982
nut to the little hole. And then he throws a

3374
03:41:24,102 --> 03:41:29,086
nut in his... Then he does it again. He shakes

3375
03:41:29,166 --> 03:41:33,649
and throws and shakes and throws. It is annoying as

3376
03:41:33,729 --> 03:41:39,873

3381
03:41:56,164 --> 03:41:58,486
be happy to be included in any mass dedouchings without

3382
03:41:58,486 --> 03:42:01,227
needing one for myself specifically. Much love to everyone, even

3383
03:42:01,227 --> 03:42:33,750
the cranky ones. You've been de-douched. It was someone I

3384
03:42:33,790 --> 03:42:35,891
spoke with every day in my real life. I think

3385
03:42:35,911 --> 03:42:38,012
that speaks to his skills as an entertainer and a

3386
03:42:38,012 --> 03:42:41,155
communicator. He'll be deeply missed here. Prayers to the Dvoraks

3391
03:43:04,911 --> 03:43:08,213
encountered... as a high schooler in 2006. John's insight and

3392
03:43:08,233 --> 03:43:11,695
humor made it. In 2018, my kin hit me in

3393
03:43:11,695 --> 03:43:14,537
the mouth, and now I've... Now I'm a grateful producer.

God, I'm sorry. For the first time, I feel gutted.

3398
03:43:35,231 --> 03:43:37,533
of a person who I never met. While I had

3399
03:43:37,613 --> 03:43:41,695
the casually bestowed honor of occasionally exchanging emails with John.

3400
03:43:43,096 --> 03:43:46,379
his filters, I did not need the personal touches to

3401
03:43:46,559 --> 03:43:49,741
love and cherish him. He shared his spirit in every

3402
03:43:49,821 --> 03:43:53,504
utterance he voiced. Maybe some essence of that spirit, perhaps

3403
03:43:53,584 --> 03:43:59,548
the contagiously grouseful cheer, lives on in the memories which

3404
03:43:59,588 --> 03:44:03,770
innumerable people have of his voice. feelings in our hearts

3405
03:44:04,111 --> 03:44:07,233

3406
03:44:07,353 --> 03:44:11,195

3410
03:44:21,142 --> 03:44:24,725

smile at the perfect time. We just landed in San

3479
03:51:56,661 --> 03:52:01,084
Francisco to begin our son's journey at UCSF Children's Hospital.

3480
03:52:01,565 --> 03:52:04,367
We sent a goodie box to JCD, which included a

3481
03:52:04,427 --> 03:52:07,589
promo flyer my wife made for her music. Going through

3482
03:52:07,609 --> 03:52:09,790
the contents of the box and looking at the flyer,

3483
03:52:09,850 --> 03:52:13,032
he said she was a hottie. And boy, she needed

3484
03:52:13,133 --> 03:52:17,235
and loved that. He crying and broke the news to

3485
03:52:17,315 --> 03:52:20,017

03:53:37,870 --> 03:53:41,733
thank you for that. Dame Francine Hardaway. Wow. Haven't heard

3501
03:53:41,793 --> 03:53:43,614
from her in a long time. Good to hear from

Flotherlands. JC Garcia. I enjoyed the in-depth knowledge. which JCD

3508
03:54:15,255 --> 03:54:17,537
delivered it on the show. My dad was a grumpy

3509
03:54:17,597 --> 03:54:21,339
old Marine. CD's bitchiness reminded me of him. So I

instantly became fond of him. I loved the band. forth

3511
03:54:24,642 --> 03:54:27,423
between Adam and John. I secretly think John brought up

3512
03:54:27,523 --> 03:54:29,625
Adam's hair to get a small chuckle here and there.

3513
03:54:30,025 --> 03:54:32,787
I say that with much love, Adam. Prayers to Mimi,

3514

JCJ, and Adam and the Keeper. Listening to future episodes,

3515
03:54:37,110 --> 03:54:41,913
I will ask myself, ACD. would John C. Dvorak do?

3516
03:54:42,914 --> 03:54:46,176
America's Grandpa went home on Monday. This is the best

podcast in the universe. Robert B. Zegheru. I didn't have

3518
03:54:51,260 --> 03:54:53,981
the honor to meet John, but he felt closer than

3519
03:54:54,102 --> 03:54:57,324
most friends. Rest in peace, dear friend. Sincere condolences to

3520

3521
03:55:02,127 --> 03:55:10,393
listening since the early 100s. John will be missed. Wanted

3522
03:55:10,453 --> 03:55:12,714
to give back to thank you both for the laughs

3523
03:55:12,774 --> 03:55:16,537
and the value over the years. Keith Trapp. Don't wait.

New York. Michael Straub. old enough to remember him. John

3527
03:55:29,866 --> 03:55:33,088
was a grandfather figure I was able to hear from

3528
03:55:33,248 --> 03:55:35,049
twice a week over the last six years, and I

3529
03:55:35,089 --> 03:55:37,831
will miss him terribly. Praying for his friends and family,

3531
03:55:46,457 --> 03:55:55,983
will search I've been a listener since episode. I don't

3532
03:55:56,003 --> 03:55:58,985
feel so bad I never donated. It just felt like

3533
03:55:59,005 --> 03:56:01,127
two of you would always be there, but here we

3534
03:56:01,267 --> 03:56:06,991
are. You'll be missed, Jason. You've been de-douched. Scott A.

Roising with $100 in the fees, no notes, so a

3536
03:56:10,293 --> 03:56:18,919
double up karma for you. You've got. Karma. In loving

3537
03:56:18,979 --> 03:56:23,282
memory of J.C.D., I've put this in my heart. John's

3538
03:56:23,302 --> 03:56:26,504
stories of past careers were often and I enjoyed connecting

3539
03:56:26,524 --> 03:56:29,166
with him on LinkedIn of all places where I provided

3540
03:56:29,186 --> 03:56:36,811
a few paltry trips. You've been de-douched. John D. Kekish

3541
03:56:37,011 --> 03:56:40,153
in Chardon, Ohio. I never met John. I feel I

3542
03:56:40,233 --> 03:56:42,575
knew him from the countless articles and podcasts he did

3543
03:56:42,655 --> 03:56:44,556
over the years. When I read the newsletter, it hit

3544
03:56:44,596 --> 03:56:47,198
like a hammer blow. I lost a man I would

3545
03:56:47,618 --> 03:56:50,220
gladly call a friend and I'm lesser for it. Rest

3546
03:56:50,300 --> 03:56:58,145
well, JCD. William Gerken. Bradley Taylor, Life is a scam.

will be expecting the John C. Dvorak biopic. Mary Corbett.

3550
03:57:16,658 --> 03:57:19,140
I wonder what bottle of wine John would recommend for

3551
03:57:19,200 --> 03:57:22,762
a time like this. What a terrible loss. James Aggie.

3552
03:57:23,362 --> 03:57:27,545
Umatilla, Florida. Very sad news. My sincerest apologies to Mimi.

Condolences to Mimi and the rest of John's family. Adam,

3554

I hope you'll stay with us. Katie. and Taz. I'm

3555
03:57:35,010 --> 03:57:37,052
so grateful to have had the opportunity to listen to

3556
03:57:37,092 --> 03:57:41,094
John's honest observations, valuable insight, and personal opinions on many

3557
03:57:41,175 --> 03:57:44,297
topics that I would have otherwise known nothing about. God

3558
03:57:44,357 --> 03:57:47,499
bless his family and Adam. Love to you all. Patrick

Braunfels, Texas. You've been dedouched. This hit me a- twice

3562
03:58:06,111 --> 03:58:09,754
a week since COVID times. Sincere prayers to John. and

3563
03:58:09,854 --> 03:58:14,157
friends and Adam, love to you all. I've been an

3564
03:58:14,177 --> 03:58:16,879
anonymous producer of No Agenda for about two years because

3565
03:58:16,919 --> 03:58:19,200
for me being a part of Gitmo Nation wasn't about

3566
03:58:19,901 --> 03:58:22,863
but about supporting the media deconstruction that JCD and Adam

3567
03:58:22,923 --> 03:58:25,945
pioneered before I knew they were even doing it. For

3568
03:58:26,025 --> 03:58:29,027
that, I am grateful. Condolences to Mimi, the family, as

3569
03:58:29,087 --> 03:58:33,590
well as Adam and Tina, RIP JCD. Being Orthodox Christian,

3570
03:58:33,630 --> 03:58:36,072
I pray for you. So I've said a prayer for

3571
03:58:36,092 --> 03:58:38,033
the soul of John C. Dvorak and will do so

3572
03:58:38,173 --> 03:58:45,998
again. Michael Hall. Thank you. Annie from Burien, Washington. I

3573
03:58:46,099 --> 03:58:48,400
really love the show and it's highlight of my week

3574
03:58:48,820 --> 03:58:51,762
and I will really miss Buzzkill and his contrarian attitude

3575
03:58:51,822 --> 03:58:54,985
in almost everything. He's probably one of the most relatable

3576
03:58:55,065 --> 03:58:58,627
podcasters ever. With much respect and love, Annie of Burien,

3577
03:58:58,707 --> 03:59:04,191
Washington. Luka Radjivic. My condolences to the family and to

3578
03:59:04,251 --> 03:59:07,953

karma. Matt McCoy. I was a sophomore in college writing

3581
03:59:14,278 --> 03:59:17,440
a paper on my brand new Bondi Blue iBook. I

3582
03:59:17,500 --> 03:59:20,602
had just spent $1,200 on it. I loved that machine.

3583
03:59:21,082 --> 03:59:23,304
Silicon spin was on in the background. They were talking

3584
03:59:23,344 --> 03:59:26,066
about the iBook, so it caught my attention. John said,

3585
03:59:26,566 --> 03:59:29,488
why would anyone buy a laptop shaped like a toilet

3586
03:59:29,568 --> 03:59:32,250
seat? laughed, but I was a little offended, but I

3587
03:59:32,330 --> 03:59:34,972
laughed. John was the reason I started listening to No

3588
03:59:35,092 --> 03:59:37,653
Agenda. He was the reason I listened to Twit. My

3589
03:59:37,753 --> 03:59:39,835
wife thought he was hilarious. My kids have grown up

3590
03:59:39,875 --> 03:59:42,357
listening to him. John is a legend, and me and

3591
03:59:42,377 --> 03:59:44,318
my family will miss him. May the Lord hold you

3592
03:59:44,418 --> 03:59:49,561
in his eternal care, John. Matthew McCoy. Rafael Negron. From

3593

Star, keeping all of us grounded in reality. every tip

3595
03:59:58,407 --> 03:59:59,988
he gave us from grinding up ants

3596
04:00:00,380 --> 04:00:02,621
To the Chinese burn cream. Hey, that was my tip.

3597
04:00:03,122 --> 04:00:05,903
We took it as serious as cancer. From the Negron

3598
04:00:06,004 --> 04:00:08,525
family in Staten Island, we thank you, John Dvorak, for

3599
04:00:08,565 --> 04:00:12,628
your life. And we send you our congratulations, our condolences,

3600
04:00:12,968 --> 04:00:15,610
to the Dvorak clan. I'm sorry. Hang in there, Curry.

3601
04:00:16,491 --> 04:00:21,534
Congratulations. Not really. Time for me to rest. Yeah, okay.

3602
04:00:22,174 --> 04:00:27,798
Brennan. Maximized. I will even miss the volume of your

3603
04:00:27,858 --> 04:00:31,881
speakers being just a little too high. RIP, JCD. You

3604
04:00:31,941 --> 04:00:36,684
are a legend. Sir Toast, with 104.29. That's the end

3605
04:00:36,724 --> 04:00:41,227
of the 105.34s. Hi, John. There is no value enough

3606
04:00:41,327 --> 04:00:44,309
to fill the void of missing you. My biggest regret

3607
04:00:44,409 --> 04:00:47,492
was not keeping a local meetup and meeting you. Such

3608
04:00:47,552 --> 04:00:51,134
a life. Rest in peace, JCD. Thank you. Sir Toast.

3609
04:00:51,394 --> 04:00:58,859
Layaway night. Dame that weird poet with 104 and 17.

3610
04:00:59,120 --> 04:01:01,581
John, I owe you a lunch and I'm not letting

3611
04:01:01,601 --> 04:01:03,963
you take that to the grave. So I'm making this

3612
04:01:04,043 --> 04:01:07,885
donation. All things considered, I would have rather that we

3613
04:01:08,005 --> 04:01:10,647
had lunch than have a reason to write this note.

3614
04:01:11,088 --> 04:01:14,870
Wishing you one wild next adventure. Try not to deconstruct

3615
04:01:14,910 --> 04:01:18,473
the narrative of the afterlife too much. Peace out. Dame

3616
04:01:18,693 --> 04:01:23,716

West Oz. Roger Church, 101. I've been a JCD fan

3622
04:01:49,914 --> 04:01:52,355
since his BC Mag and Tech TV days. I love

3623
04:01:52,396 --> 04:01:55,137
listening to him on No Agenda. He will be greatly

3624
04:01:55,197 --> 04:01:57,439
missed. Blessings to his family and those he left behind.

3627
04:02:07,946 --> 04:02:11,248
to Twit, to No Agenda, I always enjoyed JCD's particular

3628
04:02:11,488 --> 04:02:14,030
attitude and humor. Thanks for the memories. Rest in peace

3629
04:02:14,070 --> 04:02:17,172

3632
04:02:29,781 --> 04:02:32,282
you, JCD. This show helped me stay sane while trying

3633
04:02:32,302 --> 04:02:34,704
to get my life back together. Was never able to

3634
04:02:34,764 --> 04:02:37,366
donate due to life circumstances, but God has me on

3635
04:02:37,446 --> 04:02:40,368
a path now where I'm getting steady money and able

3636
04:02:40,388 --> 04:02:49,094
to give back. D-douche, please. You've been D-douched. Jonathan Braun,

3638
04:02:53,617 --> 04:02:56,159
changed my life and even saved it during COVID, along

3639
04:02:56,179 --> 04:02:58,520
with saving my family as well. Your insight, wisdom, and

3640
04:02:58,560 --> 04:03:00,822
humor is second to none. May Buzzkill rest in peace.

3641
04:03:00,882 --> 04:03:06,025

04:03:20,435 --> 04:03:23,457
He's got it. Combine them. Perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect.

shine upon him. John and Adam, you kept me sane

3649
04:03:40,809 --> 04:03:43,251
during COVID as the world was crumbling around me and

3650
04:03:43,271 --> 04:03:45,912
my young family. I needed your podcast while I despaired

3651
04:03:45,972 --> 04:03:49,114
over chained outdoor playgrounds and being locked at home. I'm

3652
04:03:49,175 --> 04:03:51,016
very sorry to hear the news of John's passing. I

3653
04:03:51,056 --> 04:03:53,798
will miss your banter. Mimi, prayers for you and the

3655
04:03:59,061 --> 04:04:04,465
will be missed. John Ford, McKinney, Texas. $100. JCD was

3656
04:04:04,525 --> 04:04:06,086
one of a kind and will be missed. My thoughts

3657
04:04:06,146 --> 04:04:08,908
and prayers are with him and his family. Paul Terranova,

3658
04:04:09,028 --> 04:04:14,912
Webster, Massachusetts. $100 to honor JCD. It was Bubble Bobble,

3659
04:04:14,972 --> 04:04:20,636
yes, that's correct, fans. Baron Anonymous Cop. $100. Can't believe

3660
04:04:20,656 --> 04:04:22,917
you're gone. Rest in peace, John. Thank you for being

3661
04:04:22,937 --> 04:04:25,439
a badass. The grandpa so many of us needed twice

3662
04:04:25,459 --> 04:04:27,480
a week. I hope heaven is treating you well and

3663
04:04:27,501 --> 04:04:29,582
you have some excellent Bordeaux in your hand. See you

3664
04:04:29,642 --> 04:04:34,685
there, Baron Anonymous Cop. DJ Sphinx, $100. Really sad news.

3665
04:04:34,745 --> 04:04:37,387
We lost a great one. Rest in peace, John. Sir

3666
04:04:37,487 --> 04:04:41,110
Baron Tony in Chicago, $100. As a dude named Ben

3667
04:04:41,250 --> 04:04:43,972
for nearly three decades, JCD has been constant in my

3668
04:04:44,072 --> 04:04:46,453
life through his writings, Cranky Geeks, Twit, and of course,

3669
04:04:46,553 --> 04:04:50,376
the best podcast in the universe, No Agenda. My wife,

3670
04:04:50,556 --> 04:04:53,118
Dame Not A Serial Killer Kate, and I have grown

3671
04:04:53,198 --> 04:04:55,439
together by listening to the perfect balance of crackpot and

3672
04:04:55,459 --> 04:04:58,942
buzzkill opine on topics for literally thousands of hours. To

3673
04:04:59,002 --> 04:05:01,523
say we appreciate and value all that No Agenda's brought

3674
04:05:01,564 --> 04:05:03,905
us would be a vast understatement. Thank you for everything,

3675
04:05:03,965 --> 04:05:09,569
John, in the morning. Sir Baron Tony. Jeffrey Gauthier. Buford,

3676
04:05:09,989 --> 04:05:13,311
Georgia. $100. I was hoping this day would never come.

3677
04:05:13,452 --> 04:05:16,514
I have donated monthly since June 2024. I can't tell

3678
04:05:16,534 --> 04:05:18,855
you what this show means to me. Godspeed, John C.

3679
04:05:18,955 --> 04:05:21,777
Dvorak. Love you both and best wishes to Mimi and

3680
04:05:21,817 --> 04:05:26,961
family. Matt Florida, Lawn Solutions, Panama City Beach, Florida. $100.

3681
04:05:27,181 --> 04:05:29,923
So sorry to hear about JCD. I've never met him

3682
04:05:29,983 --> 04:05:32,524
before, but it generally made me sad. This shows how

3683
04:05:32,685 --> 04:05:34,846
smart and talented he was. Since he had this impact

3684
04:05:34,906 --> 04:05:36,968
on strangers, I can't imagine the feeling of family and

3685
04:05:37,028 --> 04:05:40,610
friends. He is missed by millions. Matt Florida, Lawn Solutions.

3686
04:05:41,631 --> 04:05:43,632
which I assume is his business name and not his

3687
04:05:43,672 --> 04:05:48,175
legal name. Yes, correct. Matt, Florida Lawn Solutions. I mean,

3688
04:05:48,635 --> 04:05:53,038
cool last name, though. Andrew Thompson, in memory of a

3689
04:05:53,098 --> 04:05:56,220
man who helped get me through countless frustrations with the

3690
04:05:56,261 --> 04:06:01,264
media, notably the COVID-19 lockdown debacle. See you on the

3691
04:06:01,364 --> 04:06:06,367
other side, JCD. Julie and Jim McNeil, I can't tell

3692
04:06:06,427 --> 04:06:09,730
you how much we'll miss John. Thank you for sharing

3693
04:06:09,770 --> 04:06:12,331
your time, viewpoint, and insight with us twice a week.

3694
04:06:12,792 --> 04:06:16,434
We love you, John, Julie, and Jim McNeil. DJ Sphinx

3695
04:06:16,714 --> 04:06:22,118
from Herndon, Virginia. DJ Sphinx note. Wait, there's a note.

3696
04:06:22,138 --> 04:06:25,961
We got two DJ Sphinxes. It just says DJ Sphinx

3697
04:06:26,141 --> 04:06:29,123
note. Does that mean there's a note somewhere, Jay? Yeah,

3698
04:06:29,123 --> 04:06:30,484
there is. There's one where you just read. It was

3699
04:06:30,804 --> 04:06:34,086
DJ Sphinx from a moment ago. Ah, yes. Very good.

3700
04:06:34,366 --> 04:06:39,190
You nailed it. We're on Sir Pastey now. Sir Pastey

3701
04:06:39,530 --> 04:06:46,715
or Pastey. Condolences. Short notes were his favorite. Sincerely, Sir

3702
04:06:46,815 --> 04:06:52,839
Pastey. Noel Picknerd. Lake Mary, Florida. RIP JCD. D-Douche me

3703
04:06:52,899 --> 04:06:56,021
from heaven. And if JCD had a favorite jingle, play

3704
04:06:56,081 --> 04:07:04,247
that too. You've been D-Douched. The only jingle we haven't

3705
04:07:04,327 --> 04:07:09,530
heard a request for yet is something from Sharpton. So

3706
04:07:09,650 --> 04:07:13,713
I'll play. That's what I was just thinking. Thanks to

3707
04:07:14,073 --> 04:07:18,136
you, Ed. Is this Crown Hog Day 2? We are

3708
04:07:18,196 --> 04:07:24,520
watching. That was Attorney General Eric Holder. ABD's about some

3709
04:07:24,680 --> 04:07:31,805
Republicans at home are already beating the drums of war.

3710
04:07:31,965 --> 04:07:35,087
He refuted that claim. And he said the American people

3711
04:07:35,247 --> 04:07:39,590
do not want him to, quote, "dwittling" They do not

3712
04:07:39,650 --> 04:07:42,532
want him "dwittling" his thumbs. You can get a gig

3713
04:07:42,793 --> 04:07:48,396
as a court contortionist. Intravenous fluids and pills coated with

3714
04:07:48,496 --> 04:07:55,521
gelatin. We don't leave our women or men in uniform

3715
04:07:55,621 --> 04:08:00,885
behind. It's a monument to the hubris of Dick Cheney.

3716
04:08:02,186 --> 04:08:08,330
Labrador. Years of abuse. I personally apologize to Mr. Peavis.

3717
04:08:08,430 --> 04:08:13,734
Just ask. Soon to be former congressman. Democrats are outright

3718
04:08:13,974 --> 04:08:25,241
jitty. CIA's counter-terrorism center. Veteran affairs secretary Shinsketi. Why do

3719
04:08:25,301 --> 04:08:28,884
I always mess up his name? Shinseki. I love my

3720
04:08:29,024 --> 04:08:41,873
critics. I have fun with that. There you go. All

3721
04:08:42,113 --> 04:09:05,869
right, Tom Ross. silver glass. Walk along the white shores

3722
04:09:05,929 --> 04:09:09,251
to a far green country under a swift sunrise. Drink

3723
04:09:09,291 --> 04:09:11,733
a glass for us. We will all see you again.

3724
04:09:12,834 --> 04:09:17,617
Sir Knuckleberry, Atlanta, Georgia. JCD will be missed immensely. Thoughts

3725
04:09:17,697 --> 04:09:21,519
and prayers to all that knew and loved him. Sir

3726
04:09:21,559 --> 04:09:30,466
Knuckleberry. Bovino of East Berlin, Pennsylvania. Love and light to

3727
04:09:30,546 --> 04:09:35,509
John's family and entire NOAA generation. RIP JCD. Thank you

3728
04:09:35,549 --> 04:09:40,612
for your courage. Sir Bovino. Jill Mariani, Santa Clara, California.

3729
04:09:40,833 --> 04:09:50,719
No note. Double up karma. You've got. Pharma. Christian Walker.

3730
04:09:51,200 --> 04:09:53,441
I write this with a heavy heart. John will be

3731
04:09:53,561 --> 04:09:58,004
dearly missed. Throughout the years, Buzzkill would inform, entertain, and

3732
04:09:58,144 --> 04:10:02,287
yes, sometimes annoy us. But that is who he was,

3733
04:10:02,327 --> 04:10:06,190
a teacher of source, a storyteller, wanting to impart his

3734
04:10:06,310 --> 04:10:10,212
vision and wisdom to whomever wanted to listen, and occasionally,

3735
04:10:10,413 --> 04:10:13,995
well often, gripe about the world. As we all do,

3736
04:10:14,075 --> 04:10:17,477
of course. The way he wrote his essays and columns

3737
04:10:17,537 --> 04:10:20,139
was catching to the eye, always turning the gears of

3738
04:10:20,159 --> 04:10:24,782
my mind about whatever his subject. of choice was. It

3739
04:10:24,882 --> 04:10:27,824
always gave me a chuckle to know Dvorak used a

3740
04:10:27,924 --> 04:10:31,507
QWERTY keyboard to type on. That joke will never get

3741
04:10:31,587 --> 04:10:34,909
old to me. Mimi, family, Adam, and to the rest

3742
04:10:34,989 --> 04:10:37,491
of the No Agenda family, we lost a good one.

3743
04:10:37,971 --> 04:10:40,553
But the torch will be carried on in one form

3744
04:10:40,613 --> 04:10:44,075
or another. Take as much time as you need. Grieve

3745
04:10:44,135 --> 04:10:48,859
in your own way. Then be back bright-eyed and quick-witted.

3746
04:10:49,179 --> 04:10:52,561
John wanted us to pay attention to how things are

3747
04:10:52,681 --> 04:10:57,024
and whatever they could be. Cherish those. You have while

3748
04:10:57,044 --> 04:10:59,306
they're here on this earth, for you don't know when

3749
04:10:59,346 --> 04:11:03,128
the Lord calls our name to come home. May God

3750
04:11:03,228 --> 04:11:07,451
bless the Dvoraks, John's closest friends, and the many people

3751
04:11:07,511 --> 04:11:09,793
who will miss him with an abundance of his grace.

3752
04:11:10,513 --> 04:11:14,816
Okay, JC, you're next. Sir Timothy of No Fix Title.

3753
04:11:15,557 --> 04:11:22,201
Houghton, Michigan. A. $100. Dear Adam and Mimi and family,

3754
04:11:22,982 --> 04:11:24,503
I want to share my memory of John from when

3755
04:11:24,523 --> 04:11:26,924
he visited Michigan for a speaking engagement and asked to

3756
04:11:26,964 --> 04:11:29,386
meet any local producers. Though some of us met him

3757
04:11:29,466 --> 04:11:32,568
at an Ann Arbor Brewing Company on Monday, May 19,

3758
04:11:32,588 --> 04:11:37,431
2014. See attached photo. of us him that night. Jeff

3759
04:11:37,531 --> 04:11:40,113
Lunderberg created a listserv to stay in touch with John

3760
04:11:40,173 --> 04:11:42,075
and each of us that week. And John arranged a

3761
04:11:42,135 --> 04:11:45,237
second meetup on Thursday, May 22nd at Ironwood Grill and

3762
04:11:45,257 --> 04:11:48,139
then the Box Bar in Plymouth. I arrived late to

3763
04:11:48,179 --> 04:11:50,640
the Box Bar after my friend Ryan let me drive

3764
04:11:50,680 --> 04:11:56,124
his Lotus X... I'm not. I'm not good with word.

3765
04:11:56,664 --> 04:11:59,847
At a car club event. And John and I talked

3766
04:11:59,887 --> 04:12:01,948
about that and cars in general for almost an hour

3767
04:12:02,068 --> 04:12:05,190
at an outside table after many had gone home. John

3768
04:12:05,290 --> 04:12:07,252
loved cars and I cherished that time chatting with him

3769
04:12:07,332 --> 04:12:10,294
on that clear spring night. A month or so afterward,

3770
04:12:10,334 --> 04:12:14,657
he nicknamed us No Agenda Local. One. because he kept

3771
04:12:14,737 --> 04:12:17,439
meeting thanks to Jeff's listserv that made it easy to

3772
04:12:17,459 --> 04:12:19,360
keep it going. I want to thank John for bringing

3773
04:12:19,400 --> 04:12:21,781
us all together, and I hope that Jeff, Lisa, Alicia,

3774
04:12:22,042 --> 04:12:25,784
Scott, Brian, Aaron, and others from those initial two meetups

3775
04:12:25,804 --> 04:12:28,066
are all doing well. Bless you, Adam, and the Dvorak

3776
04:12:28,166 --> 04:12:30,207
family in this time of grief. I close with John's

3777
04:12:30,327 --> 04:12:32,188
email message to the list as he was setting up

3778
04:12:32,609 --> 04:12:35,811
our Thursday night meetup. It made me laugh. Then it

3779
04:12:35,851 --> 04:12:39,193
still does now. We had a meeting yesterday at ABC

3780
04:12:39,433 --> 04:12:41,875
in Ann Arbor. It was great, although I'll be confusing

3781
04:12:41,935 --> 04:12:43,756
names for a while. Today I'm headed to the Detroit

3782
04:12:43,936 --> 04:12:46,418
Institute of Arts Museum. Use this mailing list. I think

3783
04:12:46,458 --> 04:12:48,319
we can do an expanded meetup from the new folks

3784
04:12:48,419 --> 04:12:50,841
on the list, perhaps Thursday night. There are now enough

3785
04:12:50,901 --> 04:12:55,824
people to make a football team. *laughs* Joshua Johnson, $100.

3786
04:12:56,045 --> 04:12:58,726
Rest in peace, Buzzkill. You will be missed. Thank you

3787
04:12:58,826 --> 04:13:04,110
for your courage. Prayers for all. Nicholas Flexrud, $100. We

3788
04:13:04,550 --> 04:13:07,632
were just laughing about John's Miss Cleo reference last night,

3789
04:13:07,672 --> 04:13:10,614
and now we're mourning his loss. Thank you for sharing

3790
04:13:10,635 --> 04:13:12,756
your time, wisdom, and stories with us. You will be

3791
04:13:12,816 --> 04:13:22,362
greatly missed. Ryan Shears, Newark, Delaware, $100. You've got... Karma.

3792
04:13:25,565 --> 04:13:30,408
Hi, there. He'll do it. Tyler Giffel. I discovered JCD

3793
04:13:30,628 --> 04:13:33,730
back in the twit slash tech TV days when I

3794
04:13:33,770 --> 04:13:37,152
was 14 and followed him to no agenda, introducing my

3795
04:13:37,253 --> 04:13:40,134
wife to no agenda and listening well into my thirties.

3796
04:13:40,795 --> 04:13:44,077
RIP JCD. His impact on my life will not be

3797
04:13:44,157 --> 04:13:50,642
forgotten. Eric Fleenor of Palmyra, Michigan. Love all of you

3798
04:13:51,042 --> 04:13:55,065
at the No Agenda family. Simon Paul of Leadersville, Washington.

3799
04:13:55,105 --> 04:14:03,770
No, Western. It's Australia. Oh, it's... It's Leaderville. Leaderville, Australia.

3800
04:14:04,271 --> 04:14:07,913
Please, no need to read out. Okay, never mind. Just

3801
04:14:08,053 --> 04:14:10,235
as sad to hear John's passing, he will be missed.

3802
04:14:10,855 --> 04:14:16,339
Natalie Corby of Euless, Texas. No note. Double up karma.

3803
04:14:16,419 --> 04:14:24,444
You've got... Harman. Sir Cliffy. We will miss you, JCD.

3804
04:14:24,865 --> 04:14:27,867
Rest in peace. Prayers for the Dvorak family, Adam and

3805
04:14:28,027 --> 04:14:31,669
all of the Noah-Jenea nation. With love, Sir Cliffy. And

3806
04:14:31,709 --> 04:14:36,993
then from Brett Bird and James Varga, both left no

3807
04:14:37,133 --> 04:14:42,016
note. They get a double up karma. You've got. *Bloodshot*

3808
04:14:43,117 --> 04:14:52,724
Karma. David Nixon of Montreal, Quebec, RIPJCD. Serpent left. Words

3809
04:14:52,884 --> 04:14:56,226
can hardly describe my sadness for hearing of John's passing.

3810
04:14:56,726 --> 04:14:59,928
Through his columns, cranky geeks, and no agenda, he helped

3811
04:14:59,948 --> 04:14:59,988
me.

3812
04:15:00,040 --> 04:15:02,201
learn how to laugh at the silly things, and be

3813
04:15:02,281 --> 04:15:05,143
critical of everything else. We love you and miss you,

3814
04:15:05,203 --> 04:15:11,547
Buzzkill. R.I.P. Serpent from the Troll Room. Sir Jason, Protector

3815
04:15:11,687 --> 04:15:15,370
of the Big House from Parker, Texas. For nearly 40

3816
04:15:15,430 --> 04:15:19,473
years, almost 80% of my life, I've read, watched, and

3817
04:15:19,513 --> 04:15:23,275
listened to JCD. My greatest condolences to his family, Adam

3818
04:15:23,315 --> 04:15:27,798
and Andrew. Cranky Geeks ruled. Where will my next Costco

3819
04:15:27,958 --> 04:15:31,081
wine tip come from? Sir Jason, protector of the big

3820
04:15:31,141 --> 04:15:38,546
house. Okay, JC, your turn. I mean, everybody's getting us

3821
04:15:38,606 --> 04:15:41,508
to swap so that we can all tear up. Let

3822
04:15:41,568 --> 04:15:44,690
me go. Let me go for a bit. You all

3823
04:15:44,730 --> 04:15:46,571
can do what you need to do. I'm happy to

3824
04:15:46,611 --> 04:15:52,115
do a little bit here. Callie Erickson. All right. Thank

3825
04:15:52,155 --> 04:15:54,196
you for your courage, JCD. You made an impact in

3826
04:15:54,276 --> 04:15:56,838
so many lives, including mine. Things are not the same

3827
04:15:56,898 --> 04:15:59,460
without you. Rest in peace, JCD. Praying for John, his

3828
04:15:59,520 --> 04:16:03,322
family, and all of Noah's generation. Luke, deeply saddened to

3829
04:16:03,362 --> 04:16:06,725
hear of John's passing, appreciated his witty, sometimes snide remarks

3830
04:16:06,805 --> 04:16:09,727
and dry humor. Felt like a douchebag for not donating

3831
04:16:09,767 --> 04:16:12,028
for the last five years. This donation is for John.

3832
04:16:14,050 --> 04:16:18,853
You've been de-douched. Bobby and Sarah Heine, listening to John

3833
04:16:18,893 --> 04:16:21,875
was like having a wise grandfather around to gain perspective

3834
04:16:22,615 --> 04:16:25,677
on many different topics. We will miss his authenticity, intelligent

3835
04:16:25,737 --> 04:16:28,619
takes, witty humor, and endearing laugh. Thank you for everything,

3836
04:16:28,680 --> 04:16:33,343
JCD, Bobby and Sarah Heine. Chris Talia. I'm going to

3837
04:16:33,363 --> 04:16:36,024
miss you, John. Don't stop, Adam. We're depending on you

3838
04:16:36,145 --> 04:16:39,687
to bear the torch. Michael Ortiz. These are all $100.

3839
04:16:39,727 --> 04:16:42,809
$100, no note. Double up karma for you, Michael. Miguel.

3840
04:16:43,169 --> 04:16:53,176
Sorry, Miguel. Karma. Joseph Clements, Tallahassee, Florida, IMO, JCD. Michael

3841
04:16:53,296 --> 04:16:57,279
Levens, Levens Walls in Somerset, Kentucky. God bless John C.

3842
04:16:57,379 --> 04:17:00,741
Dvorak. May he rest in peace. Kate McLaughlin, Boise, Idaho.

3843
04:17:00,941 --> 04:17:03,223
You guys are the best. You're not allowed to retire.

3844
04:17:03,343 --> 04:17:07,946
Sorry. XOXO. Chris the Tech Squire, 9999. Here we go.

3845
04:17:08,046 --> 04:17:11,508
We broke 100. I've followed John since the 1990s. He

3846
04:17:11,568 --> 04:17:14,070
had the sharpest wit of any journalist, not just in

3847
04:17:14,130 --> 04:17:16,972
technology, but all of journalism. He taught me how to

3848
04:17:17,052 --> 04:17:19,454
view things with a critical eye and will be sorely

3849
04:17:19,574 --> 04:17:24,677
missed. Alex from Bluegrass. John Adam family and friends. I

3850
04:17:24,777 --> 04:17:27,239
first saw John as the host of Silicon Spin, where

3851
04:17:27,259 --> 04:17:30,401
he came off as a serious, straight-laced tech journalist. On

3852
04:17:30,481 --> 04:17:33,904
Cranky Geeks, Twit, and the beloved Tech Grouch, his personality

3853
04:17:33,944 --> 04:17:36,345
that we love him for shined. I got to see

3854
04:17:36,425 --> 04:17:38,667
John in person doing Twit live at the Brick House

3855
04:17:38,747 --> 04:17:41,389
in 2012, which was a dream come true for me

3856
04:17:41,469 --> 04:17:43,530
as a tech journalist and is a memory I will

3857
04:17:43,590 --> 04:17:46,792
always cherish. It was one of his Twitter appearances that

3858
04:17:46,852 --> 04:17:49,874
led me to know Agenda sometime around 2010, and since

3859
04:17:49,874 --> 04:17:52,596
2016, I have not missed an episode with John and

3860
04:17:52,656 --> 04:17:55,498
Adam becoming a mainstay in my car and my headphones.

3861
04:17:56,259 --> 04:17:58,600
The few times I felt I could add some expertise

3862
04:17:58,640 --> 04:18:00,522
to a show topic, I emailed John, and to my

3863
04:18:00,622 --> 04:18:03,724
surprise, I would actually get a response. The most recent

3864
04:18:03,804 --> 04:18:06,546
one had to do with Thoroughbred Racing, an industry I've

3865
04:18:06,586 --> 04:18:09,808
worked in for decades. His response simply said, well, this

3866
04:18:09,848 --> 04:18:13,310
was a bit much. I'll never know if he was

3867
04:18:13,370 --> 04:18:15,392
talking about the horse or the length of my note.

3868
04:18:15,392 --> 04:18:18,354
Trust me, length of your note. Hopefully this note didn't

3869
04:18:18,394 --> 04:18:20,955
blow out your spreadsheet. John will be greatly missed. To

3870
04:18:21,015 --> 04:18:22,997
his friends and family, thank you for sharing such a

3871
04:18:23,037 --> 04:18:26,499
great man with the world. Alex from Bluegrass. Sir Beeboop

3872
04:18:26,759 --> 04:18:30,262
and son, 9888. In honor to a great man, no

3873
04:18:30,362 --> 04:18:35,385
jingles, no karma. Sean Hines, 96. John has been a

3874
04:18:35,425 --> 04:18:37,487
voice of reason for me for over 10 years of

3875
04:18:37,567 --> 04:18:39,968
listening to the show. I will always be grateful for

3876
04:18:40,008 --> 04:18:43,871
his insights, humor, sensibility, and crankiness when it was most

3877
04:18:43,951 --> 04:18:46,753
needed. My heart goes out to the Dvorak family and

3878
04:18:46,833 --> 04:18:50,896
all of Noage and the nation. Charles Tracy, 9482. No

3879
04:18:51,036 --> 04:18:57,860
notes. You've got. Karma. Lemonheart of the Great White North,

3880
04:18:58,021 --> 04:19:02,183
9377. You will be missed, JCD, and your stories and

3881
04:19:02,243 --> 04:19:04,765
authentic sense of humor. Much love to your family and

3882
04:19:04,825 --> 04:19:09,408
friends from Lemonheart of the Great White North. Steven Rathjen,

3883
04:19:09,448 --> 04:19:14,672
9377. I've been listening since 2021. The chemistry you and

3884
04:19:14,732 --> 04:19:16,933
John shared on the best podcast in the universe can

3885
04:19:17,053 --> 04:19:20,956
never be matched. His dry wit, deep technology knowledge, and

3886
04:19:21,036 --> 04:19:24,058
Silicon Valley stories were true gems. Thank you for everything.

3887
04:19:24,578 --> 04:19:30,963
RIP JCD ITM. John Carabas, 9375. John, you have created

3888
04:19:31,043 --> 04:19:34,505
something timeless, this show. I often find myself listening to

3889
04:19:34,565 --> 04:19:37,847
episodes from years ago to better reflect on major events

3890
04:19:37,868 --> 04:19:41,010
that occurred. I will keep listening. I will never understate

3891
04:19:41,030 --> 04:19:43,872
the impact this show had on my life. RIP, JCD.

3892
04:19:44,892 --> 04:19:51,697
Aziz Chowdhury, 93.65 Growing up Muslim after 9-11, ZDTV and

3893
04:19:51,757 --> 04:19:54,519
Tech TV gave comfort and a window into a magical

3894
04:19:54,599 --> 04:19:58,441
world of computing I hope to join someday. John C.

3895
04:19:58,541 --> 04:20:01,363
Dvorak was part of that refuge. I'm grateful his voice

3896
04:20:01,423 --> 04:20:04,466
helped shape my childhood even before I understood it all.

3897
04:20:05,506 --> 04:20:09,849
Kyle Reinhold, 93.65. JCD and Adam have taught me so

3898
04:20:09,949 --> 04:20:13,171
much over the past 11 years of listening. Devastating news

3899
04:20:13,211 --> 04:20:17,354
today. I can still hear JCD saying, woman, in that

3900
04:20:17,514 --> 04:20:21,397
old curmudgeon-y way, always cracks me up. Praying for John,

3901
04:20:21,477 --> 04:20:26,901
Mimi Dvorak family, and Adam and co. Kevin Pfeffer, 93.65.

3902
04:20:27,641 --> 04:20:30,763
Somber greetings, Adam, Mimi, and the No Agenda family. This

3903
04:20:30,843 --> 04:20:33,045
certainly wasn't the way I wanted to be de-douched, but

3904
04:20:33,105 --> 04:20:42,371
please do so. You've been de-douched. On the advice of

3905
04:20:42,431 --> 04:20:46,114
amazing friends and musicians Tom Bennett and Brett Norton, I

3906
04:20:46,194 --> 04:20:48,896
checked out the No Agenda show in mid-2020 during all

3907
04:20:48,916 --> 04:20:51,978
of the COVID madness. I can truly say it changed

3908
04:20:52,038 --> 04:20:54,960
my life. How can someone you don't even know be

3909
04:20:55,060 --> 04:20:58,542
a father figure, my wife asked. His wisdom, wit, demeanor,

3910
04:20:58,622 --> 04:21:01,144
and insight very much reminds me of my own father

3911
04:21:01,184 --> 04:21:04,046
of the same age. John C. Dvorak is a true

3912
04:21:04,126 --> 04:21:06,848
legend. Few others can say the same. I am grateful

3913
04:21:06,928 --> 04:21:09,870
for all he gave to us. Deepest of condolences and

3914
04:21:09,930 --> 04:21:13,092
prayers to the Dvorak and entire Nohagenda family. Rest in

3915
04:21:13,152 --> 04:21:17,675
peace, John C. Dvorak. May angels lead you. Robert Charles

3916
04:21:18,115 --> 04:21:23,859
and Baroness Christina Pearl, our flight attendant. 93-65. Thank you

3917
04:21:23,899 --> 04:21:25,861
to the Dvorak family for all you have done for

3918
04:21:25,941 --> 04:21:30,103
Noah-Denonation and mostly for sharing JCD. He will be sorely

3919
04:21:30,183 --> 04:21:34,146
missed. Eternal rest grant unto him and let perpetual light

3920
04:21:34,246 --> 04:21:37,869
shine upon him. Sir Robert Charles and Baroness Christina Pearl.

3921
04:21:38,969 --> 04:21:42,632
Brian Rogers, 93, 65. In honor of a guy I

3922
04:21:42,752 --> 04:21:46,575
felt I knew personally for the past six years, there's

3923
04:21:46,775 --> 04:21:52,579
no evidence. I do believe. 2004 Lexus, Sumo, New Tang

3924
04:21:52,659 --> 04:21:58,022
Dynasty, Korean phone settings, Kirkland Wine, Zephyr Report. I love

3925
04:21:58,102 --> 04:22:02,906
my truck and I love what I do. RIPJCD. Carson

3926
04:22:02,986 --> 04:22:07,349
and Tom Bush from Sebring, Florida, 9365. This is from

3927
04:22:07,409 --> 04:22:08,930
me and my dad, Tom, who hit me in the

3928
04:22:08,950 --> 04:22:11,712
mouth. We enjoyed the show together for the past nine

3929
04:22:11,752 --> 04:22:14,433
years. The news of John's passing made us feel like

3930
04:22:14,473 --> 04:22:17,395
we've been punched in the chest. Condolences to the Dvorak

3931
04:22:17,435 --> 04:22:20,117
and Curry families. Thank you for your courage in this

3932
04:22:20,177 --> 04:22:26,381
sad time. Jeremy McMartin, 93.65. John, Adam, and Mimi. I'm

3933
04:22:26,482 --> 04:22:29,083
shocked and saddened to hear the news of John's passing.

3934
04:22:29,544 --> 04:22:31,725
Word broke to me through the same person that originally

3935
04:22:31,765 --> 04:22:33,907
hit me in the mouth with this great show, Bob.

3936
04:22:34,727 --> 04:22:36,608
The more I listened and learned about John and his

3937
04:22:36,668 --> 04:22:39,711
life experience, especially in the tech world, the more the

3938
04:22:39,771 --> 04:22:42,993
show meant to me. He brought serious tech street cred

3939
04:22:43,073 --> 04:22:44,954
along with him, and I loved hearing all of his

3940
04:22:44,994 --> 04:22:48,076
stories, especially the ones that come out of the woodwork

3941
04:22:48,156 --> 04:22:51,819
and surprise Adam. As someone who works on the implementation

3942
04:22:51,919 --> 04:22:54,701
side of tech, at least in my niche industry, I

3943
04:22:54,741 --> 04:22:57,222
really enjoy the analysis that John brought to the table

3944
04:22:57,262 --> 04:22:59,684
with respect to tech history and how it relates to

3945
04:22:59,744 --> 04:23:03,727
my day-to-day. I also really love listening to him compliment

3946
04:23:03,867 --> 04:23:06,949
Adam on his many theses. Pretty sure he would challenge

3947
04:23:06,969 --> 04:23:09,511
or validate my use of the word thesis as the

3948
04:23:09,571 --> 04:23:12,553
pearl of thesis if he were reading this. Well, maybe.

3949
04:23:13,013 --> 04:23:15,335
But I'm pretty sure thesis is a thing. I will

3950
04:23:15,395 --> 04:23:18,897
miss hearing him saying, it's no good. And that's bull

3951
04:23:19,017 --> 04:23:21,939
crap. I really hope you can continue to honor the

3952
04:23:21,959 --> 04:23:25,141
3x3, A Memory of JCD. It's a great segment. I'll

3953
04:23:25,161 --> 04:23:27,523
continue to listen to the show because it's the best

3954
04:23:27,603 --> 04:23:30,505
damn podcast in the universe. And thank you, John, for

3955
04:23:30,565 --> 04:23:33,307
making it so. Rest in peace. And my thoughts and

3956
04:23:33,347 --> 04:23:36,329
prayers go out to you, Adam and Mimi. Jer Bear

3957
04:23:36,449 --> 04:23:42,673
from London, Ontario. Brian, 93-65. John was larger than life

3958
04:23:42,773 --> 04:23:44,755
and a force of nature. I got to meet him

3959
04:23:44,775 --> 04:23:47,717
in the early 1980s and spent many Comdex shows with

3960
04:23:47,757 --> 04:23:50,599
him. We remained friends over the decades and got to

3961
04:23:50,659 --> 04:23:52,360
speak to him about a week and a half ago.

3962
04:23:53,040 --> 04:23:55,602
His passing leaves a hole in the universe, but heaven

3963
04:23:55,982 --> 04:23:58,444
is a new place now. Rest in peace, my good

3964
04:23:58,504 --> 04:24:04,888
friend, Brian. Alan Huffman, 9364. There is no evidence that

3965
04:24:04,948 --> 04:24:07,490
people want to have a world without John C. Dvorak

3966
04:24:07,610 --> 04:24:14,795
in it. Philip Bushy Hertfordshire in Great Britain, 9364. RIP

3967
04:24:15,075 --> 04:24:21,319
John Philip. Sir 11921. These are all 9364s. I am

3968
04:24:21,419 --> 04:24:23,901
speechless and can offer nothing but my prayers for all

3969
04:24:23,961 --> 04:24:27,484
of you with this meager donation. Blessings from Sir 11921.

3970
04:24:28,284 --> 04:24:32,347
John Fellman from Chico, California and Trent Bell. No notes,

3971
04:24:32,407 --> 04:24:34,908
so you get a double up karma for both. You've

3972
04:24:34,969 --> 04:24:41,693
got. pharma Albert Monera, I will greatly miss you, John

3973
04:24:41,793 --> 04:24:47,337
C. Nicholas St. Amour, farewell, John C. Dvorak. Bobby Bo,

3974
04:24:48,097 --> 04:24:51,240
hug your boomer dads. RIP, gone too soon. Hope you

3975
04:24:51,320 --> 04:24:53,581
and my dad are toasting some tang and wine at

3976
04:24:53,601 --> 04:24:57,984
the round table. Bobby Bo from Bluegrass, Iowa. Michael Myers,

3977
04:24:58,304 --> 04:25:00,446
John hit me in the mouth on the Grimerica podcast

3978
04:25:00,526 --> 04:25:03,608
in 2019, and I'm forever grateful. Praying for the Dvorak

3979
04:25:03,688 --> 04:25:06,130
family, the Curry family, and all of Noage and the

3980
04:25:06,190 --> 04:25:10,593
nation. Sir Tom and Dame Rhonda from Athens, Alabama. Godspeed,

3981
04:25:10,713 --> 04:25:14,595
hail, and farewell, JCD. You'll be missed to all of

3982
04:25:14,675 --> 04:25:17,417
Noah's generation more than we can even imagine, Sir Tom

3983
04:25:17,477 --> 04:25:21,920
and Dame Rhonda in Alabama. Jody White, JCD, thank you

3984
04:25:21,980 --> 04:25:24,002
for changing the way I look at current events and

3985
04:25:24,082 --> 04:25:26,103
government and life. You and Adam have been part of

3986
04:25:26,163 --> 04:25:28,405
my life now for a while. I only wish I'd

3987
04:25:28,465 --> 04:25:32,267
found you sooner. Prayers for all who loved you. She's

3988
04:25:32,307 --> 04:25:36,170
the pickle princess in Louisiana. JC, your turn. All right.

3989
04:25:37,711 --> 04:25:41,794
Ah! I love you. get over here um oh so

3990
04:25:41,874 --> 04:25:45,937
93.64 is 88 88 i guess with fees Yeah, but

3991
04:25:45,977 --> 04:25:47,678
don't worry about it. It's just they're all the same.

3992
04:25:47,838 --> 04:25:49,639
You don't have to read the money. Okay, we're at

3993
04:25:49,919 --> 04:25:57,204
Jodi White. Nowhere on. Yes. Yes. Wait, we're at 341.

3994
04:25:57,364 --> 04:26:05,550
Keep up! Jody White. Austin, Louisiana. Yeah, we just did

3995
04:26:05,590 --> 04:26:09,352
her. Next, Sir Vince. Oh, Sir Vince. Okay. All right.

3996
04:26:09,392 --> 04:26:12,094
Sir Vince, Knight of the Pacific Northwest. So unbelievably sad

3997
04:26:12,134 --> 04:26:13,935
to hear. What a loss. We will miss you, JCD.

3998
04:26:14,416 --> 04:26:16,617
Keep giving them hell from heaven. Sir Vince, Knight of

3999
04:26:16,617 --> 04:26:21,881
the Pacific Northwest. The render. RIP, JCD. You'll definitely be

4000
04:26:21,961 --> 04:26:26,884
missed, sir. Render. Raymond Bell. Rest in peace. JCD, you'll

4001
04:26:26,924 --> 04:26:30,767
be dearly missed and never forgotten. Nathan Sweem, Central Point,

4002
04:26:30,767 --> 04:26:41,094
Oregon. No note. You've got Karma. Brian Kinnett. Going to

4003
04:26:41,134 --> 04:26:46,498
miss you, JCD. EYFYC. Andrew McFadden. When I was 14,

4004
04:26:46,778 --> 04:26:48,719
I would play Castle Wolfenstein in my uncle's office at

4005
04:26:48,799 --> 04:26:50,660
night and they had a subscription to Byte Magazine. I

4006
04:26:50,760 --> 04:26:53,562
would flip through the pages and only read John's three

4007
04:26:53,602 --> 04:26:56,604
pages of computer industry jokes. We'll miss you, John. Brain

4008
04:26:56,724 --> 04:27:03,129
Fusion. And Amstel Levine? Yes, correct. Speechless. Strength for Mimi,

4009
04:27:03,469 --> 04:27:06,691
family, and friends. I'll miss John and I will remember

4010
04:27:06,751 --> 04:27:10,834
John to my prayers. OG Red Knight, burn Indiana. OG

4011
04:27:11,014 --> 04:27:13,256
Red Knight here. JCD on Twitter is what brought me

4012
04:27:13,356 --> 04:27:15,437
to No Agenda because he was always my favorite contributor

4013
04:27:15,497 --> 04:27:18,899
and wanted more of him. 280 characters isn't enough to

4014
04:27:18,940 --> 04:27:20,901
say how much JCD and No Agenda mean to me,

4015
04:27:21,001 --> 04:27:25,364
but you will be missed. Jason Fabic. I am very

4016
04:27:25,444 --> 04:27:27,445
shocked by the sudden news of John's passing. John and

4017
04:27:27,505 --> 04:27:30,567
I had exchanged a few emails and he gave me

4018
04:27:30,587 --> 04:27:32,969
encouragement in starting up my own company and providing my

4019
04:27:33,069 --> 04:27:35,531
dream of owning my creations. I meant to send him

4020
04:27:35,531 --> 04:27:37,572
a box full of my books, but being busy, I

4021
04:27:37,652 --> 04:27:39,413
never was able to get around to it. I think

4022
04:27:39,453 --> 04:27:41,355
he would have really enjoyed the books and would have

4023
04:27:41,375 --> 04:27:43,636
gotten a kick out of them. Even though I never

4024
04:27:43,656 --> 04:27:45,017
met him in person, I felt like I knew him

4025
04:27:45,538 --> 04:27:48,520
so well from just the show. He was one of

4026
04:27:48,540 --> 04:27:50,821
my heroes and I'll miss him and his kind grouchiness.

4027
04:27:51,041 --> 04:27:52,882
God bless him, Mimi and the family, and heart goes

4028
04:27:52,942 --> 04:27:55,764
out to Adam as well as the loss of his

4029
04:27:55,784 --> 04:27:59,487
dear friend. Thank you and God bless. Todd and Drenth.

4030
04:28:00,468 --> 04:28:02,529
In the morning. I've been a producer since at least

4031
04:28:02,589 --> 04:28:06,211
2010. I began dating my now wife during COVID. I

4032
04:28:06,272 --> 04:28:07,913
hit her in the mouth. We're one of the many

4033
04:28:07,993 --> 04:28:11,935
examples of couples that no agenda, together, stay together. We

4034
04:28:12,095 --> 04:28:13,997
knew that we had to make a donation in honor

4035
04:28:13,997 --> 04:28:16,318
of John and in support of the show. Our hearts

4036
04:28:16,438 --> 04:28:18,800
broke when we heard the news today. After making us

4037
04:28:18,820 --> 04:28:22,022
laugh for years, John finally made us cry. Our hearts

4038
04:28:22,062 --> 04:28:24,104
and prayers go out to Mimi and the family. May

4039
04:28:24,144 --> 04:28:27,466
the Holy Spirit comfort with peace that surpasses all understanding.

4040
04:28:27,566 --> 04:28:30,308
May you find joy in a life well lived and

4041
04:28:30,348 --> 04:28:32,889
a tremendous impact John made on your lives and lives

4042
04:28:32,910 --> 04:28:35,471
of so many others. It also seemed appropriate to claim

4043
04:28:35,571 --> 04:28:38,413
our knight and damehood after being producers for years. I'd

4044
04:28:38,453 --> 04:28:41,355
like to be Sir Todd of the Dale and she

4045
04:28:41,435 --> 04:28:44,517
shall be Dame Carly of the Chicago skyline. We trust

4046
04:28:44,557 --> 04:28:46,899
the round table is full of wine, food, spirit, and

4047
04:28:46,939 --> 04:28:48,700
champagne to toast to a good man and a life

4048
04:28:48,740 --> 04:28:51,362
well lived. Thank you for your courage, Knight Todd and

4049
04:28:51,382 --> 04:28:54,904
Dame Carly. Carley Grand Rapids Michigan machine print shop Vista

4050
04:28:54,964 --> 04:28:58,947
California no need to I need to read my note?

4051
04:28:59,147 --> 04:29:03,650
Okay, well. All right, Christopher Gray and Bryant Keefe, no

4052
04:29:03,710 --> 04:29:17,500
notes. You've got Karma. Winter Springs, Florida. First time donations,

4053
04:29:17,720 --> 04:29:24,845
so I need to be de-douched. You've been de-douched. As

4054
04:29:24,925 --> 04:29:26,846
a firm Gen Xer, I spent a lot of my

4055
04:29:26,906 --> 04:29:29,028
youth on MTV and grew up with Adam Curry. As

4056
04:29:29,128 --> 04:29:31,349
I was an engineer by education and in college during

4057
04:29:31,349 --> 04:29:33,671
the dawn of the internet in 1991, I was building

4058
04:29:33,691 --> 04:29:37,053
my own PCs and started reading PC Magazine and always

4059
04:29:37,073 --> 04:29:39,094
enjoyed John C. Dvorak's two columns and went out of

4060
04:29:39,134 --> 04:29:42,336
my way to read them. I found No Agenda several

4061
04:29:42,336 --> 04:29:44,878
years ago after Adam's appearance was on Joe Rogan, and

4062
04:29:44,898 --> 04:29:47,240
I found it was John he was partnered with. I

4063
04:29:47,300 --> 04:29:50,182
had to tune in. The media deconstruction you do biweekly

4064
04:29:50,262 --> 04:29:53,544
helped confirm what I already suspected since the Pulse shooting

4065
04:29:53,584 --> 04:29:56,206
in Orlando in 2015. I just moved to the area

4066
04:29:56,266 --> 04:29:58,347
from being a lifelong resident in the New York City

4067
04:29:58,407 --> 04:29:59,988
metro. I was amazed that with the natural...

4068
04:30:00,320 --> 04:30:02,881
...was pushing, which was contrary to what local media was

4069
04:30:02,921 --> 04:30:07,264
saying, who were interviewing people who survived the shooting. It

4070
04:30:07,304 --> 04:30:09,546
was very clear the national media was manipulating the story.

4071
04:30:09,666 --> 04:30:11,647
Growing up in the number one media market, you were

4072
04:30:11,727 --> 04:30:13,569
at the epicenter of the narrative, even on local news.

4073
04:30:14,649 --> 04:30:18,952
I have been listening since the 1600s episodes, and you

4074
04:30:19,012 --> 04:30:20,934
are a regular podcast when I travel to my clients

4075
04:30:20,994 --> 04:30:23,716
as an insurance agent. I'm sitting in Newark Airport on

4076
04:30:23,776 --> 04:30:25,857
a delayed flight back home to Florida after visiting a

4077
04:30:25,877 --> 04:30:27,958
family in New York City and heard the news. I

4078
04:30:28,038 --> 04:30:30,360
felt I had to get finally dedouched and donate in

4079
04:30:30,400 --> 04:30:32,021
honor of John for decades of his work in the

4080
04:30:32,041 --> 04:30:34,803
tech industry, writing, and the No Agenda show. Thank you,

4081
04:30:34,863 --> 04:30:36,764
John. May you rest in peace, and I pray for

4082
04:30:36,824 --> 04:30:39,926
Mimi, his children, and extended family. And finally to John,

4083
04:30:39,926 --> 04:30:42,108
the show, No Agenda Nation. May God accept his soul

4084
04:30:42,148 --> 04:30:45,030
into his glory. Eric from Seminole County, Florida. to be

4093
04:31:39,427 --> 04:31:48,673
we're going to stop with the double up karmas. I

4094
04:31:48,913 --> 04:31:59,280
would say so. Yeah, I think we can stop that

4095
04:31:59,500 --> 04:32:09,987
now. Yeah. Anonymous. keeping my donation anonymous. Thankfully, Adam doesn't

4096
04:32:10,087 --> 04:32:14,270
like, doesn't use LibreOffice, so my note should be formatted

4097
04:32:14,330 --> 04:32:20,995
correctly in the spreadsheet. Cerevolary. He got me into computers

4098
04:32:21,275 --> 04:32:24,357
and loved the stuff he did on ZTV. This show

4099
04:32:24,437 --> 04:32:26,359
got me through the days when I needed the truth.

4100
04:32:26,719 --> 04:32:29,281
I was hoping that he would make it to Nashville,

4101
04:32:29,341 --> 04:32:37,066
Franklin, because I'd shown Sody Daisy TNL. Tennessee. Tennessee, LOL.

laughs and epic stories. In the morning, God bless. Rajiv

Voleti. I'm going to miss John. He was great at

4106
04:32:53,857 --> 04:32:57,279
being cranky, and show won't be the same without him.

4109

Pafunk. Kaveen Larson, or Keevan Larson. This year has been

4111
04:33:19,354 --> 04:33:22,296
rough. I've now lost two of my three mentors of

4112
04:33:22,356 --> 04:33:26,139
sanity. With the passing of Scott Adams and now John,

4113
04:33:26,559 --> 04:33:29,361
Adam, you're the one we still look to. No pressure.

4114
04:33:29,361 --> 04:33:33,064
Keep fighting the good fight. Rest in peace, John. Brian

4116

the days of Twit. Prayers to Mimi, Adam, and both

4117
04:33:40,349 --> 04:33:43,291
of your families. John has been a staple influence of

4118
04:33:43,411 --> 04:33:45,492
my life. I'm so sad you will be missing it.

4119

4121
04:34:00,662 --> 04:34:02,864
is. I would like to say I've always looked forward

4122
04:34:02,904 --> 04:34:05,185
to his awkward silence when Adam would toss up a

4123
04:34:06,226 --> 04:34:10,269
usually corny joke. Cracked me up every time. He'll be

4124
04:34:10,329 --> 04:34:14,472
missed by Gitmo Nation. I don't know what VR means.

4125
04:34:14,872 --> 04:34:19,435

04:34:26,900 --> 04:34:29,702
been one of my favorite tech writers since the 1980s.

4129
04:34:30,082 --> 04:34:32,344
He was always great on Silicon Spin, but I have

4130
04:34:32,404 --> 04:34:35,146
to say that No Agenda was my favorite JCD work.

4131
04:34:35,626 --> 04:34:39,228
P.S. Adam, write that damn autobiography. Yeah, we're going to

4132
04:34:39,288 --> 04:34:44,012
work on it. The Thomas Family. and we'll miss you

4133
04:34:44,272 --> 04:34:47,194
always. The world is a much better place for you

4134
04:34:47,274 --> 04:34:52,417
having been a part of it. Thomas Family. Jeffrey Waldsdorf.

4135
04:34:53,118 --> 04:34:58,001
I'm heartbroken. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace. ACD.

4136
04:34:58,942 --> 04:35:06,207
Lorraine Converse, no note. Brian McFadden, Tinkosh, Tickon, Michigan. Come

4137
04:35:06,207 --> 04:35:12,091
on, you guys have to rename. Tickoncha, Michigan. JCD Memorial

4138
04:35:12,191 --> 04:35:17,915
Donation and a 58th birthday donation on 7-24. John Anderson,

4139
04:35:18,035 --> 04:35:21,077
my condolences to the entire No Agenda family, but especially

4140
04:35:21,137 --> 04:35:25,240
to Mimi and the children. Long live Buzzkill ITM. Chad

4141
04:35:25,300 --> 04:35:28,422
Larson, this year's been rough. I've now lost two of

4142
04:35:28,462 --> 04:35:31,224
my three mentors of sanity with the passing of Scott

4143
04:35:31,324 --> 04:35:34,045
Adams and now John Adam. You're the one we look

4144
04:35:34,126 --> 04:35:35,847
up to. I think we've read this already. I think

4145
04:35:35,887 --> 04:35:38,188
Jay may have made a slight mistake, but we'll keep

4146
04:35:38,248 --> 04:35:41,711
reading it. I've been silently bent over the threshold for

4147
04:35:41,771 --> 04:35:44,573
knighthood for some time now. It's been a long time

4148
04:35:44,633 --> 04:35:46,734
since my last donation, but I felt there was no

4149
04:35:46,874 --> 04:35:50,717
better day than today to renew my commitment. Accounting attached,

4150
04:35:50,797 --> 04:35:53,759
I'll be knighted Sir Chad of Happy Valley, Chad Larson,

4151
04:35:54,219 --> 04:36:01,844
State College, Pennsylvania. Royce Kokami, no note. Chad Gulsath, my

4152
04:36:01,964 --> 04:36:07,968
deepest sympathies. Donald Valeska III. The Third. I saw the

4153
04:36:08,048 --> 04:36:11,531
third. The third. James Powers. Rest in peace, JCD. You

4154
04:36:11,571 --> 04:36:14,593
will be missed. I've read his articles since I was

4155
04:36:14,673 --> 04:36:17,535
a teenager and always appreciated his wry humor and cranky

4156
04:36:17,595 --> 04:36:22,999
style. My condolences to the entire family. Paul Sayre, I

4157
04:36:23,139 --> 04:36:26,441
found no agenda 10 years ago after hearing JCD on

4158
04:36:26,561 --> 04:36:30,003
Twit and thinking this was someone I needed more in

4159
04:36:30,063 --> 04:36:32,925
my life. John and Adam have been like family and

4160
04:36:32,965 --> 04:36:35,947
John's passing is like losing a family member. Thoughts and

4161
04:36:35,987 --> 04:36:43,192
prayers to all. Kyle Paralenka. Fair winds and following seas,

4162
04:36:43,272 --> 04:36:53,319
JCD. Um... Jacqueline Lentz. No note. And Greg Kowalik. No

4163
04:36:53,459 --> 04:36:57,602
note. Sir Walkman, Duke of Buckeye. We'll miss our email

4164
04:36:57,682 --> 04:37:02,165
correspondence on Michael Savage and Spy Show recommendations. Let us

4165
04:37:02,205 --> 04:37:04,807
celebrate the cranky geek. Love to all the No Agenda

4166
04:37:04,867 --> 04:37:09,410
family. Sir Walkman, Duke of Buckeye. Joshua Hinshaw and Kenneth

4167
04:37:09,490 --> 04:37:15,554
Smith. Left. No note. Christopher Ryan, Hamilton, Ohio. Rest in

4168
04:37:15,634 --> 04:37:18,076
peace, brother. May God hold you in the palm of

4169
04:37:18,116 --> 04:37:23,880
his hands. Art. Nelson Seelhan. I never met the man,

4170
04:37:24,140 --> 04:37:27,382
but he taught me too much. I'll miss you, Buzzkill.

4171
04:37:27,442 --> 04:37:32,506
This is the halfway point. JC, your turn. Michael Smith.

4172
04:37:33,967 --> 04:37:36,148
I'm sorry it took John C.'s passing for me to

4173
04:37:36,248 --> 04:37:38,390
click the donation link in the newsletter. He's my favorite

4174
04:37:38,410 --> 04:37:40,651
grumpy old man these past seven years. I'm praying for

4175
04:37:40,711 --> 04:37:43,533
him and his family. Wait, he blocked me. Godspeed, Mr.

4176
04:37:43,553 --> 04:37:47,176
Dvorak. Are we going to de-douche that guy? Yeah, sure.

4177
04:37:47,376 --> 04:37:54,260
You've been de-douched. Yeah, or whatever. We're getting punchy. Let's

4178
04:37:54,401 --> 04:37:58,503
face it. Sir Dave and Dame's Melody and Isabella Fugazotto.

4179
04:37:58,523 --> 04:38:02,626
The Fugazottos, the Duke of America's Heartland, the Arabian Peninsula

4180
04:38:02,686 --> 04:38:08,210
and America's Heartland. we go. That is Gladstone, Montana. Requiscat

4181
04:38:08,330 --> 04:38:13,053
and Pace. I can't do Latin. John and Pace. Sir

4182
04:38:13,193 --> 04:38:17,156
Dave and Dame's Melody and Isabella Fugazotto. Jason Doolin. No

4183
04:38:17,236 --> 04:38:23,280
note. Jeffrey... Paul? Uh, I've been listening to No Agenda

4184
04:38:23,300 --> 04:38:25,201
for some time now since John kept plugging it on

4185
04:38:25,301 --> 04:38:27,523
Twit. My condolences go out to the family and Adam

4186
04:38:27,523 --> 04:38:30,325
and I'll miss his humor. 88 and 88 and 4

4187
04:38:30,405 --> 04:38:34,027
and 76 fees. This sucks. God bless you all. Jonathan

4188
04:38:34,107 --> 04:38:37,370
Callahan. Adam, I wanted to share what John and Nojend

4189
04:38:37,410 --> 04:38:39,711
have meant to me. I first knew John from Twit

4190
04:38:39,811 --> 04:38:41,893
as the cranky geek who brought reality to an otherwise

4191
04:38:42,073 --> 04:38:45,995
overenthusiastic crew of tech foamers. I had followed Tech TV

4192
04:38:46,155 --> 04:38:49,338
to Twit, but through John I found no agenda. That

4193
04:38:49,398 --> 04:38:52,180
is where I discovered Gitmo Nation was my people, and

4194
04:38:52,300 --> 04:38:55,042
that really was the best podcast in the universe. For

4195
04:38:55,082 --> 04:38:58,544
at least 16 years, the Crackpot and Buzzkill have been

4196
04:38:59,104 --> 04:39:01,326
part of my Thursday and Sunday routine. The show grew

4197
04:39:01,366 --> 04:39:04,328
with me from college into adulthood. Even though I never

4198
04:39:04,348 --> 04:39:05,769
met John, I came to feel like I knew him.

4199
04:39:05,989 --> 04:39:07,630
He became an important part of my life and a

4200
04:39:07,670 --> 04:39:10,092
mentor who taught me to question the narrative, think critically,

4201
04:39:10,112 --> 04:39:13,094
and always look for the scam. That stayed with me

4202
04:39:13,154 --> 04:39:16,036
as I built a career in technology. John taught me

4203
04:39:16,216 --> 04:39:19,498
not to confuse enthusiasm with evidence, authority with truth, or

4204
04:39:19,518 --> 04:39:22,220
a polished story with reality. A few months ago, I

4205
04:39:22,220 --> 04:39:24,401
was in northern Silicon Valley during a meetup. Could not

4206
04:39:24,441 --> 04:39:26,423
make it. I thought of John as I drove past

4207
04:39:26,483 --> 04:39:29,805
the mud flats. Yep, still there. I wish I had

4208
04:39:29,865 --> 04:39:32,047
made it. With much love to John, his family, his

4209
04:39:32,107 --> 04:39:34,068
friends, you, and all of Gitmo Nation, thank you for

4210
04:39:34,108 --> 04:39:37,590
everything you and John created. In the morning, John. Michael

4211
04:39:38,331 --> 04:39:44,895
Wadinger. No note. Circuit board. RIP, JCD. You'll be missed.

4212
04:39:45,135 --> 04:39:49,759
Circuit board. John Giles, Travelers Rest, South Carolina. Thank you

4213
04:39:50,339 --> 04:39:53,801
for giving us all you had, JCD. Judson McCown. I

4214
04:39:54,602 --> 04:39:56,903
love listening to John and reading his columns. He reminded

4215
04:39:56,943 --> 04:39:58,665
me so much of my grandfather with his wit and

4216
04:39:58,725 --> 04:40:01,647
humor and to his family and Adam. I give you

4217
04:40:01,707 --> 04:40:04,148
my condolences and may he rest in peace. This is

4218
04:40:04,248 --> 04:40:07,230
one hell of an exit strategy, John. The Anonymous Controller

4219
04:40:07,330 --> 04:40:11,213
and his wife. Ah, yes. JCD, you'll be missed dearly

4220
04:40:11,373 --> 04:40:13,294
and the show won't be the same without you. We'll

4221
04:40:13,334 --> 04:40:16,156
miss your giggle and your growly voice. Rest in peace

4222
04:40:16,357 --> 04:40:19,038
with our Lord and Savior, the anonymous controller and his

4223
04:40:19,078 --> 04:40:23,221
wife, Steven Powers. Love listening to John from the Twitch

4224
04:40:23,281 --> 04:40:26,644
days in early No Agenda. So sad to hear he

4225
04:40:26,824 --> 04:40:33,568
passed. Jeremy Radwan from Seminole, Florida. RIP JCD. From PCMag,

4226
04:40:33,708 --> 04:40:37,271
Twit, CrankyGeeks, NoAgenda, and DHUnplugged, your wit and sharp commentary,

4227
04:40:37,311 --> 04:40:40,413
and lately, wine recommendations and tips, have been a constant

4228
04:40:40,453 --> 04:40:42,814
in my life and career in tech. Thanks for everything.

4229
04:40:42,895 --> 04:40:48,698
You'll be missed. TJ Calabrese, New Baltimore, Michigan. Thanks for

4230
04:40:48,818 --> 04:40:50,980
all you did, JCD, and thanks for what Adam will

4231
04:40:51,000 --> 04:40:55,523
carry onward. Godspeed and God bless. Teresa in Snohomish, Washington.

4232
04:40:55,863 --> 04:41:00,046
Rest in peace, John, you'll be missed. Sir Darius Unity.

4233
04:41:01,467 --> 04:41:03,528
He's the only boss man who I know of that

4234
04:41:03,568 --> 04:41:06,591
was so confounded by my oft-bacalure syntax to refer to

4235
04:41:06,651 --> 04:41:09,773
me as your next POTUS, ladies and gents. That was

4236
04:41:09,873 --> 04:41:14,196
on my 4-20-20-23 born day, when I hosted a meetup

4237
04:41:14,316 --> 04:41:17,338
on the National Mall, DC, whilst being knighted with my

4238
04:41:17,618 --> 04:41:22,621
420 USD donation. The moment lives rent-free in my head,

4239
04:41:22,822 --> 04:41:25,663
thankfully, gratefully, appreciatively, just like when he called me a

4240
04:41:25,743 --> 04:41:29,666
good man. Live on the air relatively recently. Also, I'd

4241
04:41:29,686 --> 04:41:32,808
give 100x right now, if I could, sincerest and an

4242
04:41:32,968 --> 04:41:41,014
utmost condolences, a heart-achingly and heart-warmingly heartfelt I-T-M-T-Y-F-Y-C-L-Y-M-I get-mo-nation, and

4243
04:41:41,054 --> 04:41:45,597
especially to Mr. JCD, salute. Stay blessed, free, and dangerous.

4244
04:41:45,737 --> 04:41:48,479
Sir Darius Unity, Knight of the Sandhill People. Maybe a

4245
04:41:48,539 --> 04:41:53,722
baron or baronet now. Kerry Kofod. Kerry in Seattle, thank

4246
04:41:53,782 --> 04:41:56,384
you for keeping me company on Tuesday and Thursday. Michael

4247
04:41:56,424 --> 04:42:04,029
Henderson, no note. Lucas Diz... Ziva. Ziva. Ziva. Love and

4248
04:42:04,069 --> 04:42:06,891
light, John. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, insights, humor,

4249
04:42:06,911 --> 04:42:08,652
and sarcasm. I hope to meet you again on the

4250
04:42:08,673 --> 04:42:11,795
other side. Greatest condolences to the Dvorak family. Adam, I

4251
04:42:11,875 --> 04:42:14,657
hope this experiment will continue. Long live the No Agenda

4252
04:42:14,717 --> 04:42:19,640
Show. John Bolter, 1984, just out of college, working at

4253
04:42:19,660 --> 04:42:23,683
a computer software store, always looking for insight from his

4254
04:42:23,903 --> 04:42:27,145
column in PCMag, which we sold. Who knew I'd still

4255
04:42:27,165 --> 04:42:30,247
be looking for his opinion over 40 years later? Gene

4256
04:42:30,387 --> 04:42:34,110
in Kamla. From Eugene of the Tulip Stems, rest in

4257
04:42:34,170 --> 04:42:37,052
peace, John. Prayers to Mimi and family. Also, Adam, sorry

4258
04:42:37,092 --> 04:42:39,273
for your loss. Prayers for you and the keeper as

4259
04:42:39,333 --> 04:42:45,758
well. Sincerely, Gene and Kamla. L2 Hawk. John C. Buzzkill

4260
04:42:45,798 --> 04:42:48,399
Dvorak. You lived up to your name. God bless you

4261
04:42:48,459 --> 04:42:50,981
and your family. You made me laugh and you annoyed

4262
04:42:51,001 --> 04:42:53,303
me, but you were always you. Thank you for the

4263
04:42:53,323 --> 04:42:58,266
great drive, time listening. Also, screw Leo Laporte. Dumb fan

4264
04:42:58,506 --> 04:43:05,131
point. L2Hawk. Sir Chris Cowan, Viscount of North Austin. Dear

4265
04:43:05,291 --> 04:43:09,474
Adam, Mimi, Buzzkill Jr., Jay, and the rest of the

4266
04:43:09,474 --> 04:43:13,576
Devorah family. I am heartbroken. I am 64 years old

4267
04:43:13,656 --> 04:43:47,619
and still employed as a dude named Ben. Wow. One

4268
04:43:47,680 --> 04:43:50,361
day John would make it to Texas for one of

4269
04:43:50,401 --> 04:43:57,766
the meetups. Janae Irvin. RIP to a true legend. The

4270
04:43:57,826 --> 04:44:00,848
buzzkill JCD don't have much to say other than the

4271
04:44:00,868 --> 04:44:05,632
rest. You've kept... Other than rest easy. You've kept this

4272
04:44:05,732 --> 04:44:10,375
millennial sane in an insincere, insane world. Prayers for Mimi

4273
04:44:10,455 --> 04:44:14,378
and the family. Prayers for Adam as well. Sincerely, Janae

4274
04:44:14,478 --> 04:44:20,542
Irvin Haas. Aaron Hagstrom. ITM Adam, we all are suffering

4275
04:44:20,562 --> 04:44:23,083
the loss of John. His family as well as you

4276
04:44:23,224 --> 04:44:25,905
and your family are in our prayers. God bless the

4277
04:44:25,965 --> 04:44:29,408
greatest podcast in the universe, the Podfather, and the best

4278
04:44:29,508 --> 04:44:35,612
co-host gone too soon. Prayers for peace beyond understanding. Sir

4279
04:44:35,752 --> 04:44:40,215
Engedi Giles. You, John, you will be missed a lot.

4280
04:44:40,916 --> 04:44:43,497
Good luck, Adam, Mimi, and all the family and friends.

4281
04:44:44,398 --> 04:44:51,102
Sir Engedi Giles. Joe Merrick of Butte, Montana. No note.

4282
04:44:52,083 --> 04:44:56,446
Eric Thorson, condolences to the Dvorak family. May God rest

4283
04:44:56,506 --> 04:44:59,488
his soul. Bob in Wisconsin.

4401
04:54:54,942 --> 04:54:57,364
of JCD. I feel like I've lost a friend after

4402
04:54:57,424 --> 04:54:59,845
listening for six plus hours every week for the past

4403
04:54:59,945 --> 04:55:03,728

4404

Parker Paul. It's crazy how you can never meet a

4405
04:55:10,052 --> 04:55:13,314
person but still feel so deeply for them. JCD was

4406
04:55:13,415 --> 04:55:15,856
one of a kind. The song Cry Like a Baby

4407
04:55:15,936 --> 04:55:18,658
by the Box Tops will forever remind me of him.

4408
04:55:19,219 --> 04:55:21,400
Much love to you all. Feet in the air, subs

4413
04:55:36,310 --> 04:55:38,872
and light to his beautiful family. Thank you for everything,

4438
04:57:30,607 --> 04:57:35,871
I'll miss his voice. Bill Manassas, Virginia. I have been

4439
04:57:35,911 --> 04:57:38,433
listening for over 17 years and was heartbroken to hear

4440
04:57:38,453 --> 04:57:40,774
that John has passed on. We both have been stalwart

4441
04:57:40,814 --> 04:57:43,136
companions over the years. I'll miss John and pray for

4442

Edward Seidel. Oh, we're at the 9272 now. At the

4603
05:12:26,925 --> 05:12:28,346
end of the day, I just want to thank John

4604
05:12:28,426 --> 05:12:31,168
for sharing what felt as endless, colorful hours of stories,

4605
05:12:31,288 --> 05:12:34,150
cranked tips and wisdom through these headphones over most of

4606
05:12:34,170 --> 05:12:37,532
my life. Thank you, Adam and entire Dvorak family for

4607

your courage. Javier or Javier or Javier. Javier. Javier. John,

4608

a great day. as a special place for you. Thank

4610
05:12:50,501 --> 05:12:53,343
you for teaching us how to deconstruct media with love.

4611
05:12:53,523 --> 05:12:59,187
I just gotta say, John's going to... So many people

4612
05:12:59,267 --> 05:13:03,530
who just... there. I love it. It's just beautiful. It

4613
05:13:03,650 --> 05:13:14,157

4617
05:13:30,668 --> 05:13:36,212
during Convid, when people would day... I could hear his

4618
05:13:36,272 --> 05:13:40,355
voice saying, go fuck yourself. Rest in peace, JCD. Lay

4620
05:13:44,718 --> 05:13:46,779
huge fan of the show. For 14 years, the show

4621
05:13:46,859 --> 05:13:49,181
got him through loneliness and grief he faced while losing

4622
05:13:49,301 --> 05:13:52,303
both of his parents. He is so special to me.

4623
05:13:52,923 --> 05:13:54,564
And I wanted to honor his favorite show by donating.

4624
05:13:55,665 --> 05:13:57,967

4638
05:15:52,135 --> 05:15:54,656
times someone in my house has said, I wonder what

4639
05:15:54,757 --> 05:15:59,880
John... As I look back, I realize that this show

4640
05:15:59,940 --> 05:16:02,762
was there for us through COVID. Both are human resources

4643
05:16:13,029 --> 05:16:14,650
and I had no idea what he looked like, so

4644
05:16:14,730 --> 05:16:17,452
we felt pretty stupid when we asked. So what do

4645
05:16:17,472 --> 05:16:20,734
you do for a living? He looked nothing like his

4646
05:16:20,794 --> 05:16:28,659
head shot and we felt catfished. The Belanger family will

4647
05:16:28,700 --> 05:16:32,582

4666
05:18:19,154 --> 05:18:21,416
this before in donation notes, but he and Adam have

4667
05:18:21,456 --> 05:18:23,557
had a profound impact on my life through the No

4668
05:18:23,637 --> 05:18:26,779
Agenda show. I wouldn't be the man, husband, or father

4669
05:18:26,839 --> 05:18:29,862
what I am today without it. My first introduction to

4670
05:18:29,942 --> 05:18:33,124
his dulcet tones was around the year 2006 when I'd

4671
05:18:33,204 --> 05:18:35,946
synced the latest episode of Twit to my iPod before

4672
05:18:35,966 --> 05:18:38,667
walking to school. A few years later, I began listening

4673
05:18:38,687 --> 05:18:40,609
to No Agenda. That means John has been in my

4674
05:18:40,689 --> 05:18:44,251
life for 20 years, nearly two-thirds of my 32 years

4675
05:18:44,351 --> 05:19:07,227
on earth. Thank you. Andrew Martonic, nobody, and I mean

4676
05:19:07,367 --> 05:19:10,949
nobody, could ever come close to JCD's level of curmudgeon.

4677
05:19:11,330 --> 05:19:13,251
He was truly one of a kind. I will miss

4678
05:19:13,311 --> 05:19:16,473
hearing him twice a week. Dame Maria and Sir Mark

4691
05:20:01,263 --> 05:20:04,245
I've enjoyed listening to John and Adam religiously since Adam

4692
05:20:04,325 --> 05:20:07,768
appeared on the Joe Rogan show in 2022. I'm glad

4693
05:20:07,808 --> 05:20:09,489
to hear that you'll keep the show going and look

4694
05:20:09,569 --> 05:20:12,271
forward to the new format. That said, I will certainly

4695
05:20:12,311 --> 05:20:15,853
miss John and his remarkable ability to know something about

4696
05:20:15,873 --> 05:20:19,216
almost everything. His commentary on both the most basic and

4697
05:20:19,236 --> 05:20:25,840
the most complex. God bless you. grandchildren, and his faithful

4698

us across No Edge in the Nation. He will continue

4702
05:20:38,629 --> 05:20:42,111
to live cherished drops on our ISO boards. He was

4703
05:20:42,191 --> 05:20:45,693
a huge inspiration for our journey into podcasting. With love,

Castellanos. Hello, No Agenda. I was introduced to YouTube by

4706
05:20:55,860 --> 05:21:00,043
a 4chan post. They described you as two boomers arguing

4707
05:21:00,063 --> 05:21:03,766
about the news. Spot on. Nailed it. I listened and

4708
05:21:03,806 --> 05:21:06,287
was immediately hooked, though I do not remember the exact

4709
05:21:06,387 --> 05:21:09,049
episode or year. It was most likely 2018 or so.

4710
05:21:09,089 --> 05:21:13,672
I only recently donated after JCD had his heart attack.

4711
05:21:14,213 --> 05:21:19,716
Well, bypass. I myself had the Widowmaker at age... 2025

4712
05:21:20,217 --> 05:21:22,318
as an otherwise healthy guy. It was a bit of

4713
05:21:22,338 --> 05:21:25,640
a life-changing experience for me my wife And I'm sure

4714
05:21:25,741 --> 05:21:29,663
J.C. thoughts about his. I'm sad that both donations have

4715
05:21:29,783 --> 05:21:31,885
only come from the worst news to ever affect the

4716
05:21:31,945 --> 05:21:35,007
show I cherish and look forward to. Please do not

4717
05:21:35,067 --> 05:21:37,528
dismay and continue on, Adam. We do need you and

stories and lots of laughs. John Spencer, Conroe, Texas. I

4724

up donations. I never reached out to claim it. Please

4752
05:24:54,482 --> 05:24:57,724
passing was shocking and heartbreaking. Both grandfathers passed when I

4753
05:24:57,764 --> 05:25:00,166
was young, so John became like a grandfather to me.

4754
05:25:00,906 --> 05:25:03,248
I look forward to his stories and voice weekly. May

your courage. etiquette. I am D Reinholdt. I'm so sorry

4767
05:25:56,564 --> 05:26:00,006
for the family's loss. I love hearing Johnson's cranky geeks

4768
05:26:00,066 --> 05:26:03,268
twit in episode one of the No Agenda show. John

4769
05:26:03,348 --> 05:26:06,070

the man, RIPJCD. Tim Powers, rest in peace, JCD. Throughout

4779
05:26:48,119 --> 05:26:50,260
life, we take so many things for granted. The sudden

4780
05:26:50,320 --> 05:26:52,982
passing of JCD is just another reminder of that. I

4781
05:26:53,042 --> 05:26:56,204
will miss him. I know all of his podcasts. friends

4782
05:26:56,264 --> 05:26:58,566

courage. Thank you. No note. Jason Shepard from Trinidad, Colorado.

4784
05:27:08,272 --> 05:27:11,274
John, I know donations were down, but this was certainly

4785
05:27:11,294 --> 05:27:14,056
not the way to turn it around. In all seriousness,

4786
05:27:14,577 --> 05:27:17,238
I'm devastated by the news. My deepest condolences to the

4787
05:27:17,278 --> 05:27:19,960
JCD family, Adam, and all of Gitmo Nation. You will

4788
05:27:20,020 --> 05:27:26,164
be sorely missed. Dion Rowney in Saskatoon, Canada. My deepest

4789
05:27:26,224 --> 05:27:29,126
condolences to everyone in the No Agenda family. I've been

4790
05:27:29,146 --> 05:27:31,308
listening to the show almost since the beginning. Not a

4791
05:27:31,348 --> 05:27:34,370
complete douchebag, but close. Sorry. You and John felt like

4792
05:27:34,390 --> 05:27:37,152
a close family in a weird way. You know nothing

4793
05:27:37,212 --> 05:27:39,734
about me, but I know all about you. I often

4794
05:27:39,774 --> 05:27:41,655
would doze off listening to the show as it was

4795
05:27:41,715 --> 05:27:44,337
nice to hear the familiar voices, so much so that

4796
05:27:44,417 --> 05:27:47,979
sometimes I wouldn't sleep until I did. into Miss John's.

4797
05:27:49,240 --> 05:27:51,502
praying for you and your families, especially that God will

4798
05:27:51,542 --> 05:27:53,923
be with you in this time to help comfort everyone.

05:27:54,283 --> 05:28:00,888

4801
05:28:06,972 --> 05:28:10,494

05:28:10,514 --> 05:28:13,717
a staple in my life for over 18 years. John

4803
05:28:13,757 --> 05:28:16,018

4809
05:28:35,191 --> 05:28:38,153
No Agenda community. Okay, Adam, we're going to jump in.

4810
05:28:38,233 --> 05:28:51,182
All right. Stuart Fawcett. Merriside, Great Britain. Mercyside. Sorry for

4811
05:28:51,222 --> 05:28:54,464
your loss. John was an amazing character, funny and engaging.

4812
05:28:54,664 --> 05:29:00,248
He will be missed. Brian McIver, Portage, Michigan. I feel

4813
05:29:00,288 --> 05:29:04,511
like a family member died even... Clear skies and tailwinds,

4814
05:29:04,571 --> 05:29:10,275
my friend. Ashlyn Speed Racing. Mansfield, Texas. Ashlyn and I

4815
05:29:10,395 --> 05:29:13,437
send our deepest love to Mimi and family. John was

4816
05:29:13,557 --> 05:29:16,819
our entertainment on many trips to the racetrack. I suggest

4817
05:29:16,879 --> 05:29:20,482
that John's tip of the day be retired and given

4818
05:29:20,542 --> 05:29:29,648
emeritus status. Christian Grolch. Grolch. Winter Haven, Florida. This world

4819
05:29:29,748 --> 05:29:33,791
of... is diminished by one and heaven embraces another grand

4820
05:29:33,891 --> 05:29:39,655
soul. Amen. God bless you all. Jeroen, Joyce, and Kai.

4821
05:29:40,035 --> 05:29:46,059
Jeroen. Jeroen, Joyce, and Kai. Thanks for all the years

4822
05:29:46,139 --> 05:29:48,941

No Note. Jack Schofield. I will miss John dearly. When

4827
05:30:13,268 --> 05:30:15,790
I sent my first email and he responded, I was

4828
05:30:15,870 --> 05:30:20,653
totally surprised. I believe in show 886, John talked about

4829
05:30:20,713 --> 05:30:23,295
how the supporters were like friends and how you both

4830
05:30:23,375 --> 05:30:28,359
interacted with producers. May God watch over the Devorah. Stephen

4831
05:30:28,499 --> 05:30:32,962
King, Charlotte, North Carolina. Yeah, don't get excited. My deepest

Bradley Justice, Brandon. Mississippi. It's named after you. Oh, need

4835
05:30:48,973 --> 05:30:52,295
a de-douching now. I don't have anyone to blame for

4836
05:30:52,355 --> 05:30:56,117
the sumo showing up on my Twitter feed. RIP JCD.

4837
05:30:56,338 --> 05:31:12,288

4839
05:31:16,331 --> 05:31:19,914
in detail, his expertise so vast. What a profound loss.

4840
05:31:20,514 --> 05:31:23,076
I am thankful for the seeds he sowed into my

4841
05:31:23,176 --> 05:31:26,338
life through No Agenda. Thank you for your courage, Sir

4842
05:31:26,378 --> 05:31:33,002

Nation. Mark McAvoy. Oh, Dame Tothola. Odenbosch, the Netherlands. It's

4846
05:31:49,053 --> 05:31:53,336
Tothola. Ah, it is Tothola. It's Tothola. You'll get a

4847
05:31:53,376 --> 05:31:57,879
kick out of it. Odenbosch, the Netherlands. You got it.

4850
05:32:10,288 --> 05:32:13,170
John was a miraculous man, a specimen of the highest

4851
05:32:13,230 --> 05:32:16,792
quality. Though devastating to lose him here with us, I

4852
05:32:16,872 --> 05:32:18,993
am happy to know he is in heaven with Jesus.

4853
05:32:19,694 --> 05:32:24,337
May God bless him. Sir Jason, Austin, Texas. I first

4854
05:32:24,377 --> 05:32:27,900
saw John on Computer Chronicles, which my dad would watch

4855
05:32:28,160 --> 05:32:31,382
on PBS in the 1980s. I was later a fan

4856
05:32:31,482 --> 05:32:35,064
of him on Tech TV, and then no agenda. RIP.

go on. Pastor Combsy. John has been a voice in

4864
05:33:13,170 --> 05:33:15,412

05:33:15,452 --> 05:33:18,574
missed. Praying for the Dvorak and Curry families. Pastor Combsy.

4868
05:33:31,162 --> 05:33:35,585
and Jamie Doering. You'll be missed. Sir Sergeant Postal. I

4869
05:33:35,645 --> 05:33:37,487
heard him in Laporte's show, and listening to his show

4870
05:33:37,587 --> 05:33:39,928
changed my life. The show opened my eyes to so

4871
05:33:40,008 --> 05:33:42,990
many things. The things I learned are priceless, and being

4872
05:33:43,030 --> 05:33:45,692
a no-agenda knight is one of my proudest things. Rest

4873
05:33:45,732 --> 05:33:48,754
in peace and thanks, Sir Sergeant Postal. Sir Bean of

4877
05:33:59,602 --> 05:34:03,865
has influenced my career, personality, my amygdala for goodness more

4878
05:34:03,924 --> 05:34:05,746
than any other figure in the media and other walks

4879
05:34:05,806 --> 05:34:08,508
of life. Condolences to Mimi, family, Adam, and the rest

4880
05:34:08,548 --> 05:34:12,170

05:34:12,350 --> 05:34:15,873

05:34:26,300 --> 05:34:32,524

05:34:44,092 --> 05:34:47,974
be missed. Rest in peace, John. Ed Warner. I'll generally

4889
05:34:48,034 --> 05:34:50,956
miss JCDs in Sights and Stories. So sad for everyone's

4890
05:34:51,016 --> 05:34:55,559
loss. Rest in peace, JCD. Ed Warner. I just read

that one. Kami Lord. No note. Aaron Stafford. Pensville, New

4892

4893
05:35:04,746 --> 05:35:07,027
It's very strange to feel this way for someone I

4894
05:35:07,047 --> 05:35:08,828
only heard in my ear holes over the last six

4895
05:35:08,969 --> 05:35:13,912
years. You'll be missed. Prayers to Dvorak and Currys. Danielle

05:36:04,466 --> 05:36:06,267
John have been part of the soundtrack of our lives.

4906

We can't imagine your pain. Praying. Thank you. Austin Tolley.

missed. Sending prayers to you, Adam, and the rest of

Atlanta, Georgia. and then where are we? I'll jump in.

4915
05:36:42,312 --> 05:36:50,477
Okay. Chad Hewitt. God bless. Craig Gnowski, Cumberland, British Columbia,

4916
05:36:50,577 --> 05:36:56,922
Canada. Rest in peace, you magnificent bastard. I like that.

4917
05:36:57,782 --> 05:37:01,405
Here's hoping you get a squeaky chair in heaven. I'm

4918
05:37:01,405 --> 05:37:05,227
in the squeaky chair today. John Foley, Nashville, Tennessee. For

4919
05:37:05,287 --> 05:37:09,970
John, sending love and prayers. Brent Lemons, no note. Glenn...

4920
05:37:11,071 --> 05:37:17,255
Recio. Rest in peace, JCD. Cameron Lindemood. Even though I've

4921
05:37:17,295 --> 05:37:20,057
been overboard for a while, I've never been this sad

4922
05:37:20,217 --> 05:37:24,800
over the passing of someone I've never met. My sincerest

4923
05:37:24,901 --> 05:37:28,363
condolences to Mimi, Adam, and the entire Dvorak clan. Rest

4924
05:37:28,463 --> 05:37:31,765

05:37:32,406 --> 05:37:42,993
Thomas Key. No note. Ulrich Giesendonner. Los Angeles, California. JCD

4926
05:37:43,173 --> 05:37:46,135
was a national treasure. My heart goes out to Adam,

4927
05:37:46,215 --> 05:37:51,639
Mimi, and all of JCD's family. Viscount dude named Jeff.

4928
05:37:52,559 --> 05:37:56,422
Westlake, Ohio. I was getting out of a meeting and

4929
05:37:56,522 --> 05:38:00,365
saw the newsletter. I couldn't believe it. Condolences to JCD's

4930
05:38:00,425 --> 05:38:03,527
family, Adam, and the No Agenda Nation. I found John

4931
05:38:03,607 --> 05:38:06,849
and No Agenda being a former viewer of Twit. John

4932
05:38:06,909 --> 05:38:10,191
wasn't buying into the hype, and I found his humor

4933
05:38:10,231 --> 05:38:13,614
to be hilarious. Over the years listening to No Agenda,

4934
05:38:13,714 --> 05:38:17,556
John's advice on everything from software to AI to writing

4935
05:38:17,616 --> 05:38:20,578
tips has made me a better producer. My dad also

4936
05:38:20,678 --> 05:38:24,021
passed after surgery and recovery that was going well. They're

4937
05:38:24,061 --> 05:38:28,904
both looking down and calling things bullcrap. Rest in peace,

4938
05:38:29,144 --> 05:38:33,847
73s, and God bless. Sir Spook of Spokane and Dame

4939

05:38:41,012 --> 05:38:46,316
fond farewell to a great one. Toasting Jamestown, Jameson in

4942
05:38:46,516 --> 05:38:49,978
proper wake manner to the legend. We will miss you,

4943
05:38:50,078 --> 05:38:53,661
John, who put the C in donation C. Much love

4944
05:38:53,721 --> 05:38:59,404
to the family. You're gonna have to. George Haid, eternal

4945
05:38:59,545 --> 05:39:03,607

4946
05:39:03,687 --> 05:39:08,291
shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. So

4947
05:39:08,371 --> 05:39:13,414
sorry for our loss. Sir Slam Bob, saddened to my

4948
05:39:13,514 --> 05:39:16,656
soul. Love, John and Adam. Thanks for sharing your life

4949
05:39:16,696 --> 05:39:21,299
with me. Humbled and thankful for your courage. Sir Slam

4951

05:40:03,988 --> 05:40:06,850

05:40:06,890 --> 05:40:13,675
I love what I do. Sir Selverin, Silver Springs, Maryland.

4958
05:40:14,395 --> 05:40:18,898
Greetings from Sir Selverin. Condolences to Mimi and family. My

4959
05:40:18,958 --> 05:40:22,080
dad passed a few years ago. JCD reminded me of

4960
05:40:22,120 --> 05:40:27,464
him, albeit saltier and saner. Many drinks this weekend and

4961
05:40:27,564 --> 05:40:31,807
more meetups and remembrance. Sir John of the Dunkirk Mud

4962
05:40:31,947 --> 05:40:38,211

4964
05:40:43,795 --> 05:40:47,718
places. Sir John of the Dunkirk Mud Flats from Blaine,

05:40:47,898 --> 05:40:53,582

4969
05:41:05,330 --> 05:41:11,394
right. Sir Mike Black Knight of the Homestead, Philipson, Massachusetts.

4970
05:41:11,674 --> 05:41:18,779
No notes. Franklin Monterosa, Dodge City, Kansas. Thank you for

4971
05:41:18,839 --> 05:41:22,481
John for the show. It has become a big part

4972
05:41:22,521 --> 05:41:26,244
of my life. You will truly be missed. Shane fake.

4973
05:41:28,445 --> 05:41:31,087
Pronounced like Peek. Feek. Yes, you got it. Like Peek.

4974
05:41:31,127 --> 05:41:34,229
Yes, last name pronounced like Peek. John and Adam got

4975
05:41:34,289 --> 05:41:37,612
me and my amygdala safely through COVID and the last

4976
05:41:37,632 --> 05:41:41,254
three elections. I'm so thankful that I found the No

4977
05:41:41,354 --> 05:41:43,596
Agenda show when I did, and I don't know what

4978
05:41:43,616 --> 05:41:47,618
I'm going to do without it. Unless maybe JC takes

4979
05:41:47,738 --> 05:41:50,861
over for John. Love you, John. Thank you for all

4980
05:41:50,881 --> 05:41:54,843
the years of entertainment. Also, please call out Estrogen Mike

4981
05:41:54,923 --> 05:42:02,188
as a douchebag. Douchebag. David Wicker. Such a legend. When

4982
05:42:02,228 --> 05:42:06,391
I was a kid, grateful for exchanges that warmed in

4983
05:42:06,431 --> 05:42:09,053
the last six months. I planted a tree for you

4984
05:42:09,113 --> 05:42:12,915
and poured a brew on it this evening. My grumpy

4985
05:42:12,975 --> 05:42:16,058
brother. You left a legacy and sure will be missed.

4986
05:42:16,518 --> 05:42:26,024
John 1135. Joshua Griffith No note. Zach Welsh No note,

4987
05:42:26,104 --> 05:42:28,606
no jingles. That is how he would have been remembered.

4988
05:42:28,746 --> 05:42:31,208
I will miss him. God bless you, Mimi and family,

4989
05:42:31,848 --> 05:42:38,393
Adam and family, Zach. Sir, not Jake. Thompson, Connecticut. RIP,

4990
05:42:38,653 --> 05:42:45,558
JCD. Dame Swagger Prince. JCD somehow managed to make my

4991
05:42:45,678 --> 05:42:49,000
husband feel like he'd won an Oscar. Simply by reading

4992
05:42:49,060 --> 05:42:56,025
his owner review of his hydrogen-powered Toyota Maria. Muriel. For

4993
05:42:56,125 --> 05:42:58,866
one glorious moment, my husband felt seen. You will be

4994
05:42:58,967 --> 05:43:06,171
deeply missed. 73 and 88. Dame Swaggerprance. Jorge Hernandez of

4995
05:43:06,272 --> 05:43:12,656
Lake Stevens, Washington left no note. Scott Tilleman. My recent

4996
05:43:12,696 --> 05:43:15,958
donation, along with my recent donation to John's memory, should

4997
05:43:16,038 --> 05:43:19,601
put me into knighthood. I couldn't pass the opportunity to

4998
05:43:19,701 --> 05:43:22,783
recognize my long time listening and supporting of the show,

4999
05:43:23,263 --> 05:43:26,025
and I hope that John benefited from the humble offerings.

5000
05:43:26,585 --> 05:43:29,327
And you too, Adam. My wife and I are closer

5001
05:43:29,467 --> 05:43:32,229
and wiser because of your show, which kept us healthy

5002
05:43:32,429 --> 05:43:36,912
and sane in difficult times. Long live No Agenda. Please

5003
05:43:37,012 --> 05:43:40,555
pronounce me Sir Flying Dutchman in honor of my father,

5004
05:43:40,575 --> 05:43:44,457
and I request sushi and Coca-Cola at the round table.

5005
05:43:44,597 --> 05:43:52,203
Fine combo. Dominic Persin. In the morning. I've been listening

5006
05:43:52,263 --> 05:43:55,025
to the show since 2015 when I was 19 years

5007
05:43:55,145 --> 05:43:57,586
old. And the show has been a constant throughout my

5008
05:43:57,666 --> 05:44:01,329
entire adult life. You guys have given me the proverbial

5009
05:44:01,469 --> 05:44:04,131
fishing pole to navigate the deception of the world, and

5010
05:44:04,211 --> 05:44:09,895
I am forever grateful. RIP JCD. Dominic Persin, Chicago, Illinois.

5011
05:44:10,815 --> 05:44:19,201
Sebastian de Stigter. Perfect. From Uxgeist. You're pronouncing it just

5012
05:44:19,261 --> 05:44:25,645
like John. Uxgeist. Uxgeist. Perfect. Uxgeist. Yes. Nailed it. Uxgeist.

5013
05:44:25,885 --> 05:44:30,589
Okay. Uxgeist. Irreplaceable. You will be missed. Thank you for

5014
05:44:30,609 --> 05:44:36,513
1887 shows. I love you, John. R.I.P. Carl Vogler from

5015
05:44:36,633 --> 05:44:40,936
Dillon Beach, California. Hard to top this promotion, John. Can't

5016
05:44:40,996 --> 05:44:45,379
wait to see what the next one is. Dane Beth

5017
05:44:45,479 --> 05:44:49,141
from Baja, Arizona. Hoisted a glass of decent red wine

5018
05:44:49,241 --> 05:44:53,144
at sunset tonight to life well lived. Dane Beth of

05:44:53,224 --> 05:44:59,148
Baja, Arizona. Michael Rackanelli.

5020
05:45:01,781 --> 05:45:04,242
I will always be looking for a reason to say

5021
05:45:04,262 --> 05:45:08,285
she really put her tit in the ringer. JCD was

5022
05:45:08,365 --> 05:45:12,568
the best at telling... Us how full of shit he

5023
05:45:12,568 --> 05:45:16,991
was when the cursor was on. And telling us how

5024
05:45:17,091 --> 05:45:19,733
full of shit he was. Oh wow, it was a

5025
05:45:19,813 --> 05:45:24,396
telling twice. The buzzkill from the South Shore, Marshfield, Massachusetts.

5026
05:45:24,696 --> 05:45:31,000
The buzzkill from the RIP JCD. Siroma. Mimi and Adam,

5027
05:45:31,321 --> 05:45:36,744
buzzkill. May your legacy live on in aeternum. God, please

5028
05:45:36,864 --> 05:45:39,826
grant peace and comfort to the family, friends, and colleagues

5029
05:45:39,886 --> 05:45:42,989
of John, and wash away his pain and troubles so

5030
05:45:43,069 --> 05:45:46,251
that he may live forever in your loving arms. Amen.

5031
05:45:46,711 --> 05:45:55,777
Peace. tiny empire.com. I love his idea for your homepage

5032
05:45:55,897 --> 05:45:58,719
to be a list of links. I still use something

5033
05:45:58,999 --> 05:46:04,163
like it today for home and work. Dame Nancy of

5034
05:46:04,243 --> 05:46:09,847
the Confused, absolutely heartbroken for all of us. Love, Dame

5035
05:46:09,887 --> 05:46:14,910
Nancy of the Confused. Unless Adam is trying this one.

5036
05:46:15,651 --> 05:46:18,593
Yeah. Adam, it's your turn. All right. I'm ready to

5037
05:46:18,613 --> 05:46:23,096
go. Dame Bang Bang and Sir D.H. Slammer. ITM, Adam,

5038
05:46:23,116 --> 05:46:26,198
Mimi, and the whole family. I cannot stress outside. We

5039
05:46:26,358 --> 05:46:34,343
are stress. Probably how outside we are. Upset we are.

5040
05:46:34,383 --> 05:46:37,726
How about this? I cannot stress how upset we are

5041
05:46:37,806 --> 05:46:42,409
by learning about JCD's passing. The final C stands for

5042
05:46:42,829 --> 05:46:46,892
was not supposed to be croaked. We have truly lost

5043
05:46:46,912 --> 05:46:50,334
a legend and I hope... one of the producers piles

5044
05:46:50,474 --> 05:46:53,977
all of JCD's stories so that they can live on

5045
05:46:54,057 --> 05:46:55,858
as a memoir. I think that actually is kind of

5046
05:46:55,938 --> 05:46:58,860
a plan. In honor of JCD, I think there should

5047
05:46:58,900 --> 05:47:01,402
be a special donation amount that releases photos of the

5048
05:47:01,542 --> 05:47:07,886
office and the archives. What do you say to $8,888.88?

5049
05:47:09,027 --> 05:47:12,669
We'll talk later. A photo dump of one category of

5050
05:47:12,849 --> 05:47:14,611
item. We know this is the promotion you would have

5051
05:47:14,671 --> 05:47:18,713
wanted. Thank you for your courage. Rest in peace. May

5052
05:47:18,793 --> 05:47:20,575
it not be a scam. With love and light, Dame

of the Mothman, Maple Grove, Minnesota. JCD is a goat,

5057
05:47:36,725 --> 05:47:38,587
and this picture of him in the newsletter is really

5058
05:47:38,667 --> 05:47:41,869
great. The reverb can is what comes to mind first

5059
05:47:42,309 --> 05:47:45,471
as this totally unique stamp on podcasting. Thank you, JCD,

5064
05:48:02,663 --> 05:48:05,585
a loss for words. Terry Hanton and Chris Hanton in

prayers. JCD has taught us so much. You'll be greatly

5067
05:48:11,869 --> 05:48:15,072
missed. Sending love and light, Terry and Chris Hanton. Steven

5069
05:48:18,994 --> 05:48:21,916
for me since the 80s on Computer Chronicles. Rest in

5070
05:48:22,016 --> 05:48:27,920
grumpiness. Godspeed, John, says David Givenish from Carefree, Arizona. Onward,

the show in a long time since I'm hibernating, but

5075
05:48:44,331 --> 05:48:46,533
okay. But the show carried me through some of my

5076
05:48:46,653 --> 05:48:49,095
toughest days. Thank you for that. Thank you for opening

5077
05:48:49,155 --> 05:48:51,416
