1
00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:05,704
We got to have common sense. Larry Blytner. Darren O'Neill.

2
00:00:06,064 --> 00:00:09,126
It's Sunday, August 9th, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation

3
00:00:09,166 --> 00:00:15,210
Media Assassination, episode 1893. This is no agenda. Yes, we're

4
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:18,292
broadcasting live from just outside of Chiraq, right here in

5
00:00:18,412 --> 00:00:21,554
FEMA Region Number 5. In the morning, everybody, I'm Darren

6
00:00:21,574 --> 00:00:25,357
O'Neill. And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry

7
00:00:25,437 --> 00:00:28,139
Blydener keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming

8
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:35,384
scimitar of truth. It's Darren and Larry! But was Billy

9
00:00:35,484 --> 00:00:37,905
Idol okay coming into that area? I mean, with all

10
00:00:37,945 --> 00:00:42,228
the commies? Billy was dynamite. What a show. It was

11
00:00:42,308 --> 00:00:45,330
just electric. I'm still amped up from it. I'm pretty

12
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:50,254
dangerous, so watch yourself, really. It was insane. Steve Stevens

13
00:00:50,334 --> 00:00:54,336
was on fire. 10,000 people screaming Billy. And you know

14
00:00:54,416 --> 00:01:00,461
what? That dude will be 71 this November. And he

15
00:01:00,541 --> 00:01:02,642
moves like he's half that age and looks at, he

16
00:01:02,702 --> 00:01:04,563
took off his shirt and threw it into the crowd

17
00:01:04,643 --> 00:01:08,206
and he didn't look really bad. You know, like, wow.

18
00:01:08,566 --> 00:01:12,709
Yeah, I'm not trying that anytime soon. It was absolutely

19
00:01:12,769 --> 00:01:15,891
spectacular. I'm hoping maybe when Adam joins us later, maybe

20
00:01:15,911 --> 00:01:17,852
he's got a Billy Idol story. You know, he knew

21
00:01:17,892 --> 00:01:21,014
all those rock stars and stuff. We will be joined,

22
00:01:21,034 --> 00:01:24,036
yeah, by the Podfather. Dude, I gotta, okay, I wasn't,

23
00:01:24,036 --> 00:01:25,918
I was gonna wait, but you're gonna ask me for

24
00:01:26,038 --> 00:01:30,641
a Billy Idol story. You did. You nailed it. Nailed

25
00:01:30,701 --> 00:01:35,564
it, Larry. Man, you know that Billy Idol dated downtown

26
00:01:35,644 --> 00:01:40,948
Julie Brown. Really? Oh, yeah, and it was just creepy.

27
00:01:41,728 --> 00:01:47,972
Those two, they were so creepy together. How creepy? Can

28
00:01:48,032 --> 00:01:51,455
you give me, like, for instance? Just like, you know,

29
00:01:51,595 --> 00:01:56,698
just tonguing each other in the hallways. Get a room,

30
00:01:56,778 --> 00:01:59,861
man. Get a room. It was nasty. Well, she was

31
00:01:59,921 --> 00:02:03,723
kind of nasty. I'm sure she's very nice now, now

32
00:02:03,783 --> 00:02:07,646
that she's married to a big Hollywood producer. to work.

33
00:02:08,827 --> 00:02:10,267
In the morning to you boys. How you doing? In

34
00:02:10,308 --> 00:02:15,491
the morning there, Adam. Doing good. Great. I apologize I

35
00:02:15,551 --> 00:02:19,073
don't sound like myself because this was a rare occasion

36
00:02:19,193 --> 00:02:21,415
where we traveled and I didn't have to lug along

37
00:02:21,455 --> 00:02:23,997
the entire portable studio. I'm like, I'm not going to

38
00:02:23,997 --> 00:02:26,719
have time. I'm just going to bring along my little

39
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:33,163
PodMobile plug-in device. You sound great, really. Yeah, thanks. You

40
00:02:33,323 --> 00:02:38,506
do. Really? Okay. Yeah. It's funny how whenever you're setting

41
00:02:38,566 --> 00:02:41,048
something up, and I just have a little tripod for

42
00:02:41,088 --> 00:02:46,091
the microphone, I don't have my boom arm. It's always,

43
00:02:46,272 --> 00:02:50,274
you know, whenever you're looking for something. to build the

44
00:02:50,314 --> 00:02:52,696
studio with in a hotel room it's always the trash

45
00:02:52,776 --> 00:02:55,218
can for some reason the trash can is always the

46
00:02:55,318 --> 00:02:58,140
perfect the perfect device you know so i got i

47
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,102
got it on top of the the trash can exactly

48
00:03:01,102 --> 00:03:03,543
the right height so yeah i'm here in um in

49
00:03:03,623 --> 00:03:08,166
san francisco and uh we were here for uh john

50
00:03:09,267 --> 00:03:12,209
memorial yesterday and but first of all man there were

51
00:03:12,209 --> 00:03:16,352
memorials all over the world the the meetups that were

52
00:03:16,412 --> 00:03:19,914
taking place uh horowitz did a did a big thing

53
00:03:19,994 --> 00:03:24,597
in fort lauderdale and he was doing like john trivia

54
00:03:24,778 --> 00:03:28,740

55
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,622

um which um which i know you guys will play

58
00:03:39,948 --> 00:03:44,691
later i'm i'm just i'm literally so tired that I

59
00:03:45,311 --> 00:03:47,273
wish I could be here for the whole show but

60
00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:52,456
I this was Yesterday, it just all came out. It

61
00:03:52,496 --> 00:03:57,500
was like just the weeks, but honestly months because of

62
00:03:57,620 --> 00:04:02,823
John's earlier medical stuff. And, you know, just... dragging the

63
00:04:02,883 --> 00:04:06,385
cart along, but with lots of help from everybody and

64
00:04:06,766 --> 00:04:09,407
just really not knowing. It was closure. It was big

65
00:04:09,508 --> 00:04:13,690
closure for me personally. But it was so, I mean,

66
00:04:14,551 --> 00:04:17,753
maybe I should just do it chronologically. We got in,

67
00:04:17,993 --> 00:04:21,596
we flew out Friday from Austin. So that by itself

68
00:04:21,716 --> 00:04:24,478
is just such a hassle, man. It's like an hour

69
00:04:24,538 --> 00:04:27,840
and 45 drive for us. And then, you know, Southwest

70
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,963
was... plays and just all so anyway we get in

71
00:04:32,003 --> 00:04:35,245
we get into the hotel um and we come in

72
00:04:35,465 --> 00:04:39,508
we're in like 7 30 and uh dana brunetti uh

73
00:04:39,568 --> 00:04:42,229
who doesn't know him hollywood producer of the biggest movies

74
00:04:42,250 --> 00:04:44,231
in the world and his beautiful wife alex they said

75
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:46,612
well we'll come to the hotel we'll grab some dinner

76
00:04:47,153 --> 00:04:51,976
so i mean we had great, great dinner with Brunetti.

77
00:04:52,356 --> 00:04:54,178
He and his wife, I've never met him in person.

78
00:04:55,058 --> 00:04:59,821
Just a lovely, lovely guy. So no agenda, so anti-Hollywood.

79
00:05:01,182 --> 00:05:03,084
He is one of us, man, I'll tell you that.

80
00:05:03,284 --> 00:05:07,306
He is one of us. And then the next day,

81
00:05:07,346 --> 00:05:11,629
everybody... was coming in we had uh sir mark and

82
00:05:11,669 --> 00:05:14,531
dame astrid flew in from tokyo which is just you

83
00:05:14,531 --> 00:05:17,853
know they are the the archduke and archduchess of japan

84
00:05:18,594 --> 00:05:22,336
and the japan sea and all the disputed islands and

85
00:05:22,377 --> 00:05:25,339
i mean these these people they've been listening since episode

86
00:05:25,599 --> 00:05:30,782
one wow they've been with the show And for people

87
00:05:30,782 --> 00:05:33,684
who don't know them, you should just look up Klein

88
00:05:33,744 --> 00:05:38,667
Dytham Architects in Tokyo. They have done some of the

89
00:05:38,948 --> 00:05:41,990
most amazing buildings in Tokyo. I think they've probably done

90
00:05:42,030 --> 00:05:49,495
like 25% of Tokyo's most beautiful buildings. Like the... the

91
00:05:49,715 --> 00:05:52,197
emperor's library you know they did the i think the

92
00:05:52,197 --> 00:05:55,459
the fender guitar building i think it's a fender guitar

93
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,301
building yeah uh sony building they've just done such amazing

94
00:05:59,381 --> 00:06:04,065
projects and they're just lovely lovely people he's british she's

95
00:06:04,405 --> 00:06:10,149
um swiss But they've both been in Japan forever. Also

96
00:06:10,289 --> 00:06:13,050
flying in for this occasion was Voyage Zero, Mark, coming

97
00:06:13,111 --> 00:06:16,713
in from the Netherlands. Wow. He, I mean, just, it

98
00:06:16,773 --> 00:06:22,057
was... I haven't seen him in... 12 years, last time

99
00:06:22,117 --> 00:06:25,779
since I saw him in person. Sir Patrick Coble, of

100
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:29,542
course. Sir Patrick Coble is everywhere, every single place. Anywhere

101
00:06:29,582 --> 00:06:32,323
there's something good, a meetup, Sir Patrick Coble is always

102
00:06:32,363 --> 00:06:35,506
there. So we hung out with them for a little

103
00:06:35,526 --> 00:06:40,309
bit, had kind of a lunch. I really couldn't eat

104
00:06:40,409 --> 00:06:43,251
much. I knew I was going to be speaking. They

105
00:06:44,291 --> 00:06:51,716
had me on the lineup for this gig. and So

106
00:06:51,776 --> 00:06:54,839
we all went to the chapel in Oakland. Beautiful, just,

107
00:06:55,359 --> 00:06:57,781
thing is like, I don't know, must be over 100

108
00:06:57,801 --> 00:07:04,625
years old. Probably about 70 people there. Um, and as

109
00:07:05,106 --> 00:07:07,887
you know so mimi said a few words uh eric

110
00:07:07,967 --> 00:07:12,851
the shoe with his wife Danelle from South Dakota. People

111
00:07:12,851 --> 00:07:14,772
know Eric DeChille. He used to do the back office

112
00:07:14,852 --> 00:07:18,655
before Jay came in to do that. And he was

113
00:07:19,195 --> 00:07:24,819
master of ceremonies. Then Marty Higgins, who wrote many of

114
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:30,623
the jokes for... For John and throughout the years, he's

115
00:07:30,663 --> 00:07:33,785
been friends with Mimi, I think, first for, I don't

116
00:07:33,785 --> 00:07:37,507
know, 40 years. He did the eulogy. It was kind

117
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:39,809
of cool because he came to me later and he

118
00:07:39,869 --> 00:07:41,850
says, you know, I have something. And most of these

119
00:07:41,910 --> 00:07:43,992
people were as old as wood. I mean, they're all

120
00:07:44,052 --> 00:07:46,793
like in their 70s and 80s. I'll just be honest

121
00:07:46,874 --> 00:07:51,477
about it. And Marty's like, you know, do you remember

122
00:07:51,497 --> 00:07:54,298
when John was doing the Confucius stuff? I'm like, yeah,

123
00:07:54,298 --> 00:07:56,640
I remember that. Do you remember that, Darren or Larry,

124
00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:58,481
when John would open the show and he would do

125
00:07:58,581 --> 00:08:02,524
a Confucius says? Well, I've got to find that. He

126
00:08:02,564 --> 00:08:06,967
was doing this for maybe a month. And they would

127
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:10,569
be okay, you know. I think a Confucius says maybe

128
00:08:10,589 --> 00:08:13,111
is not the best thing for an opening. But anyway,

129
00:08:13,772 --> 00:08:16,473
so Marty comes up to me. He says, do you

130
00:08:16,473 --> 00:08:19,896
remember the Confucius says stuff? I say, yeah. wrote those

131
00:08:19,916 --> 00:08:23,858
uh-huh he said you got to understand the backstory john

132
00:08:23,958 --> 00:08:25,740
called me up one day and said i got a

133
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:28,081
great idea for a book i got a great idea

134
00:08:28,161 --> 00:08:30,083
for a book it's a comedy book and it's just

135
00:08:30,163 --> 00:08:34,405
filled with confucius says and so and and marty says

136
00:08:34,686 --> 00:08:36,587
but i guess you didn't like it or something i

137
00:08:36,667 --> 00:08:38,608
never knew it was supposed to be a book john

138
00:08:38,628 --> 00:08:40,550
just was throwing this stuff at me i'm like okay

139
00:08:40,990 --> 00:08:46,273
he gives me a list of 250 confucius says that

140
00:08:46,374 --> 00:08:49,195
he wrote for that book and uh i mean it

141
00:08:49,356 --> 00:08:53,778
They are so, so, most of them I can't even

142
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:56,400
read on the air. Right. I mean, when it starts

143
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,622
with lesbian who curl hair, I mean, no, I'm just

144
00:08:59,622 --> 00:09:03,285
going to leave that one where it is. Did he

145
00:09:03,345 --> 00:09:09,549
do it with a Chinese accent? Just checking pictures. If

146
00:09:09,629 --> 00:09:11,731
John tried to do it with a Chinese accent, that

147
00:09:11,731 --> 00:09:12,891
may have been part of the problem now that I

148
00:09:12,911 --> 00:09:18,335
think about it. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah. And anyway,

149
00:09:19,216 --> 00:09:23,278
so Marty does the eulogy. Funny. I mean, he's a

150
00:09:23,578 --> 00:09:25,340
he used to be Marty in the morning. You know,

151
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:30,763
he did radio morning radio back in the. late 70s.

152
00:09:30,823 --> 00:09:34,106
So these are all just really interesting people. Then Brandon

153
00:09:34,186 --> 00:09:37,548
Jay's husband spoke and he just had a lovely bit

154
00:09:37,628 --> 00:09:40,630
about, you know, how he asked John if he could

155
00:09:40,670 --> 00:09:43,992
marry Jay twice. And you can only imagine how hilarious

156
00:09:44,673 --> 00:09:51,017
that situation went both times. Then I... in my piece

157
00:09:51,837 --> 00:09:55,120
and then they had kind of an open mic which

158
00:09:55,180 --> 00:09:57,801
was appropriate because there were comedians and there were just

159
00:09:57,962 --> 00:09:59,543
wild and wacky people there

160
00:10:00,012 --> 00:11:36,156
– and I've always known this, but it was said

161
00:10:00,272 --> 00:10:04,175
So Void Zero was phenomenal. You know the sysadmin who's

162
00:10:04,255 --> 00:10:06,576
always quiet and doesn't say much and he just kind

163
00:10:06,636 --> 00:10:10,639
of sits there and makes everything run? Yeah. Man, Void

164
00:10:10,719 --> 00:10:12,720
Zero, we almost had to give him the hook. He

165
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,764
wouldn't stop. He had written 10,000 words, but it was

166
00:10:18,844 --> 00:10:24,588
all so beautiful. And you could just tell how everyone

167
00:10:24,648 --> 00:10:26,890
had been affected by John. And then you got like

168
00:10:26,950 --> 00:10:31,793
the old PC. mag publishing days which mimi doesn't even

169
00:10:31,793 --> 00:10:34,675
know them that predated her and john's relationship there were

170
00:10:34,815 --> 00:10:38,598
stories about how john had ghost written the the first

171
00:10:38,938 --> 00:10:42,760
book by adam osborne i mean this is going back

172
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,103
right um guys who were uh in the original uh

173
00:10:47,103 --> 00:10:51,926
you know deck day days of computing and everybody kind

174
00:10:51,966 --> 00:10:55,369
of had the same basic story about John where he'd

175
00:10:55,409 --> 00:10:57,070
call you up and go hey you know that was

176
00:10:57,130 --> 00:10:59,071
how John called you on the phone and never called

177
00:10:59,111 --> 00:11:01,012
me but you know the one time he did hey

178
00:11:02,033 --> 00:11:06,296
and and everybody had very similar stories some people were

179
00:11:06,776 --> 00:11:13,861
just like wow that these guys exist you know that

180
00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:16,823
they really that they're from these old computer days and

181
00:11:16,863 --> 00:11:20,525
they had stories about just like you know devices and

182
00:11:20,606 --> 00:11:23,928
peripherals that you'd recognize and how john was you know

183
00:11:24,088 --> 00:11:27,810
just always uh all on top of this and and

184
00:11:27,850 --> 00:11:33,134
a common Theme You know, people might often get the

185
00:11:36,236 --> 00:11:40,179
so perfectly about one of the speakers that John, it

186
00:11:40,239 --> 00:11:43,861
always sounded like he was just crapping on everything. You

187
00:11:43,921 --> 00:11:47,543
know, like the mouse and the iPad and the Apple

188
00:11:47,603 --> 00:11:51,666
Watch and all. this stuff and the point was made

189
00:11:51,726 --> 00:11:55,589
that john actually because of how he wrote about these

190
00:11:55,669 --> 00:12:00,032
things drove people to make better products true and i

191
00:12:00,152 --> 00:12:03,634
think that's true that you know just the way he

192
00:12:03,694 --> 00:12:07,957
would just just drive a wedge into anything that people

193
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:11,840
were trying to make that was cool including myself by

194
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,481
the way when i would be so proud of the

195
00:12:13,501 --> 00:12:15,782
howard stern interview i did and he said sucked it

196
00:12:15,982 --> 00:12:18,444
sucked he didn't mention the show didn't mention the show

197
00:12:18,564 --> 00:12:20,605
enough i don't think he even mentioned me you know

198
00:12:20,766 --> 00:12:23,667
just on it but and it made me better and

199
00:12:23,727 --> 00:12:27,990
that was a very very clear um message from everybody

200
00:12:28,010 --> 00:12:31,733
there was a Oh yeah, that's clear even with the

201
00:12:31,833 --> 00:12:35,315
art stuff. I mean, Dvorak was great. If he liked

202
00:12:35,395 --> 00:12:40,719
my stuff, it wasn't anywhere near as fun. Exactly. And

203
00:12:40,779 --> 00:12:44,101
I guess I knew that inherently, but it's not until

204
00:12:44,141 --> 00:12:47,183
people started saying it that he was so, you know,

205
00:12:47,864 --> 00:12:53,247
John could have. in a multi multi multi-millionaire because he

206
00:12:53,387 --> 00:12:55,729
had inside dirt on all products he could have gone

207
00:12:55,749 --> 00:12:57,850
to work for any company told him how to do

208
00:12:57,930 --> 00:13:01,032
it but that wasn't what he did he wrote about

209
00:13:01,132 --> 00:13:04,475
how these products sucked because he felt they could be

210
00:13:04,555 --> 00:13:07,096
better now he didn't necessarily always say it would be

211
00:13:07,176 --> 00:13:12,500
better if but That really was a big part of

212
00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:15,242
his role in the world. And I really came to

213
00:13:15,282 --> 00:13:19,144
appreciate that, hearing that yesterday. Oh, yeah. Not like computers

214
00:13:19,184 --> 00:13:24,168
became a thing. Yeah. It was all in vain, obviously.

215
00:13:24,268 --> 00:13:27,650
Think about the world that he actually molded with his

216
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:30,612
words at the back of those PC magazines and elsewhere.

217
00:13:32,333 --> 00:13:36,356
It is quite amazing. It all kind of came together

218
00:13:36,396 --> 00:13:40,759
for me when Sir Patrick Coble and many of the

219
00:13:40,959 --> 00:13:44,261
NOAA gender producers and artists were in on this and

220
00:13:44,301 --> 00:13:50,625
they helped crowdfund it and helped find... the different knickknacks.

221
00:13:50,685 --> 00:13:53,567
I posted it on X. Sir Patrick Cole made two

222
00:13:53,687 --> 00:13:58,250
shadow boxes. You know, shadow boxes. I guess typically, like,

223
00:13:59,271 --> 00:14:01,192
you get one if you served in the armed forces

224
00:14:01,252 --> 00:14:03,114
or you had a child who was killed somewhere in

225
00:14:03,154 --> 00:14:06,496
the armed forces. You get, you know, this beautiful wooden

226
00:14:06,576 --> 00:14:09,378
box with glass in front and has the flag and

227
00:14:09,398 --> 00:14:12,280
their medals and their picture, et cetera. And, you know,

228
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:16,703
Patrick's an ex-Marine. And these things, you've got to zoom

229
00:14:16,763 --> 00:14:21,966
in on this picture. these different artifacts of John and

230
00:14:22,026 --> 00:14:25,328
of me and of no agenda including a an HO

231
00:14:25,468 --> 00:14:28,070
scale model of the Zephyr that had one of the

232
00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:31,553
you know the a mouse in there, it had an

233
00:14:31,853 --> 00:14:35,535
MTV patch, it had a first gen iPod. You know,

234
00:14:35,855 --> 00:14:38,317
back in the day when John was taking digital pictures

235
00:14:38,377 --> 00:14:41,459
and always saying your camera, your camera, your phone's camera

236
00:14:41,619 --> 00:14:43,781
sucks. Why do you use that? Of course, he was

237
00:14:43,881 --> 00:14:45,782
trying to make that better and it did get better

238
00:14:45,862 --> 00:14:50,485
over time. You know, a little handheld digital camera. one

239
00:14:50,545 --> 00:14:55,729
of his Dvorak speaking, typing tutor software packages. I mean,

240
00:14:55,769 --> 00:14:59,991
just such a lovely, I mean, I couldn't hold it

241
00:15:00,011 --> 00:15:02,613
together, man, when he gave that to me. And he

242
00:15:02,713 --> 00:15:05,935
even had it custom made for a suitcase because it

243
00:15:05,975 --> 00:15:07,937
had to fit in the suitcase for us to take

244
00:15:08,057 --> 00:15:11,919
it back. I mean, that just, I mean, Noah Jenner

245
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,462
Nation, man, just so beautiful. Nothing like it in the

246
00:15:15,502 --> 00:15:18,344
world. Nothing. There really is nothing like it in the

247
00:15:18,404 --> 00:15:21,506
world. Let me see if I got everybody in here.

248
00:15:22,967 --> 00:15:28,570
Well, so. What was I, there was something, another point

249
00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:32,273
I was gonna, oh yes. Victoria Racagne, I don't know

250
00:15:32,293 --> 00:15:34,334
if you know who she is. She's like the CBS,

251
00:15:35,575 --> 00:15:43,540
CBS LA entertainment reporter. And I actually had forgotten this,

252
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,842
but the one time I went to John's house, the

253
00:15:45,982 --> 00:15:47,923
one time I was invited and not allowed to go

254
00:15:47,983 --> 00:15:52,646
see the studio was a Thanksgiving. And he'd invited Victoria

255
00:15:52,666 --> 00:15:59,111
as well. She's this really cute Asian L.A. reporter. And

256
00:15:59,231 --> 00:16:02,693
she's like an undercover Republican, Catholic, of course could never

257
00:16:02,733 --> 00:16:04,855
let on about that, doing her job. But John knew

258
00:16:04,915 --> 00:16:10,418
all about her. And she and several other people. I

259
00:16:10,478 --> 00:16:12,960
mean, would just stand up and say, you know, people

260
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,862
don't understand how John helped me in my career. He

261
00:16:15,962 --> 00:16:17,743
would give me the same thing that he's doing to

262
00:16:17,803 --> 00:16:20,745
the PC industry. He would critique my work, tell me

263
00:16:20,825 --> 00:16:23,207
what to do, but he would also make connections. Like,

264
00:16:23,267 --> 00:16:25,488
I'll call this person now. They're waiting for you. He

265
00:16:25,588 --> 00:16:29,431
helped so many people further their careers that people don't

266
00:16:29,551 --> 00:16:34,975
even know about. So just, I mean, just unbelievably beautiful

267
00:16:35,115 --> 00:16:38,337
to hear all of that. We've had a slideshow. You

268
00:16:38,357 --> 00:16:40,298
know, there's the little urn, in there which i always

269
00:16:40,318 --> 00:16:43,820
find creepy you know john's in there has no way

270
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,063
he fits in there um his kids were there of

271
00:16:47,143 --> 00:16:49,564
course and then we all walked down the street to

272
00:16:49,704 --> 00:16:53,547
kona barcona which is like a tiki bar um the

273
00:16:53,607 --> 00:16:57,289
lovely folks from violetta pizza who have a place right

274
00:16:57,349 --> 00:17:00,311
across the street they brought in pizza um you know

275
00:17:00,411 --> 00:17:04,114
everybody was just hanging out and just just having a

276
00:17:04,254 --> 00:17:08,357
very very very good time dame rita from sparks in

277
00:17:08,377 --> 00:17:12,980
the back showed up i mean just it was mind-blowing

278
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,263
um how much love there was for john and i

279
00:17:17,483 --> 00:17:20,645
think it was really good that we all just got

280
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:24,548
to have some closure at this point um and you

281
00:17:24,568 --> 00:17:26,309
know at a certain point tina looks at me and

282
00:17:26,329 --> 00:17:27,750
she says am i gonna have to carry you to

283
00:17:27,790 --> 00:17:32,553
the car i say yeah So we just had to

284
00:17:32,573 --> 00:17:36,776
go home and like, now I'm staying here today. There's

285
00:17:36,776 --> 00:17:38,917
a lot of paperwork I've got to help Mimi with

286
00:17:39,057 --> 00:17:41,619
because you can imagine not everything was all set up

287
00:17:41,699 --> 00:17:46,382
for this moment in time. So we have some bank

288
00:17:46,462 --> 00:17:51,866
stuff to do. She can't actually. There's bank accounts. Nice.

289
00:17:52,026 --> 00:17:57,169
That's worse than no password. No, we got the passwords

290
00:17:57,189 --> 00:17:59,791
we got. Because, you know, she had always said, John,

291
00:17:59,831 --> 00:18:01,752
well, what if? And John said, nah, you'll figure it

292
00:18:01,832 --> 00:18:05,054
out. Well, here we are. We're figuring it out. We

293
00:18:05,114 --> 00:18:07,316
are literally figuring it out. I mean, can you believe

294
00:18:07,356 --> 00:18:12,319
that? Yes. We're figuring it out. So it was just

295
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,841
great. And I'm so looking forward to hearing the meetup

296
00:18:14,861 --> 00:18:19,824
reports from everybody from around Gitmo Nation. And without exception,

297
00:18:20,024 --> 00:18:23,447
everybody says, hey, I really like this combo of Darren

298
00:18:23,527 --> 00:18:29,951
and Larry coming in. There's something going on here. Like

299
00:18:29,971 --> 00:18:32,433
Sir Patrick Coble had a, I thought, an interesting idea

300
00:18:32,473 --> 00:18:34,874
that, you know, if people, we have so many boots

301
00:18:34,914 --> 00:18:36,595
on the ground. It's one of the secrets of No

302
00:18:36,675 --> 00:18:40,098
Agenda is we have somebody who's an expert in whatever

303
00:18:40,178 --> 00:18:43,780
the story of the day is. And it's so easy

304
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,042
for everybody to just record something. Maybe if there's something

305
00:18:47,102 --> 00:18:50,104
going on, you can send it in. be a way

306
00:18:50,164 --> 00:18:52,266
to work that into the show. I think, Darren, you

307
00:18:52,286 --> 00:18:55,428
already got three or four different new openings for the

308
00:18:55,488 --> 00:18:58,410
show. Yes, and of course we can work on always

309
00:18:58,450 --> 00:19:01,772
more is good, more choices. Yeah. I see Mike Riley

310
00:19:01,812 --> 00:19:05,635
has just been reactivated. He's doing art now. I mean,

311
00:19:05,735 --> 00:19:10,538
come on, man. This is awesome. Thank you. agenda nation

312
00:19:10,718 --> 00:19:13,060
it's just so so beautiful to see all of this

313
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,282
happening yeah when uh the third duke of the south

314
00:19:16,362 --> 00:19:18,623
came looking for artists for those shadow boxes i'm like

315
00:19:18,623 --> 00:19:20,785
well you don't want me but you want mike riley

316
00:19:20,885 --> 00:19:24,227
and roger roundy and a few others and uh right

317
00:19:25,508 --> 00:19:27,589
You know, they're not the AI junkies, man. They know

318
00:19:27,649 --> 00:19:31,972
how to... Mike Reilly's stuff is amazing. Yeah, thank you.

319
00:19:32,072 --> 00:19:34,214
Actually, I'm just remembering now that I hit the bat

320
00:19:34,294 --> 00:19:35,915
signal, but I didn't post it on X. So why

321
00:19:35,915 --> 00:19:37,776
don't you guys talk amongst yourselves, and I'll do what

322
00:19:37,796 --> 00:19:39,657
I was supposed to do here. You got to boost

323
00:19:39,757 --> 00:19:42,499
the toot. You got to let everybody know the show

324
00:19:42,539 --> 00:19:45,922
is live. If you're not listening on a podcasting 2.0

325
00:19:45,922 --> 00:19:49,964
app, you are missing out. Because that way you get

326
00:19:50,124 --> 00:19:54,968
your notification when the show goes live. You want to

327
00:19:55,008 --> 00:19:59,831
listen live. Yeah, absolutely. Have you guys been following Trump's

328
00:19:59,891 --> 00:19:59,991
hair?

329
00:20:00,204 --> 00:20:02,145
That seems to be the biggest news of the moment.

330
00:20:02,686 --> 00:20:04,787
What is going on with Trump's hair? It's all got

331
00:20:04,887 --> 00:20:09,891
bigger. What? He's gotten bigger? I didn't see any photos.

332
00:20:09,991 --> 00:20:12,612
I just saw something like it's blown out or something.

333
00:20:12,612 --> 00:20:15,354
I don't know if he's looking to go maybe try

334
00:20:15,434 --> 00:20:19,777
out for the WNBA. Who knows? I think he needs

335
00:20:19,877 --> 00:20:23,139
a stronger grade of hairspray because it seems like it's

336
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,541
blowing out of place a lot more easily. So I

337
00:20:25,601 --> 00:20:27,302
think that might be part of it. Well, Larry, you

338
00:20:27,362 --> 00:20:29,604
say you always could see a toupee. Is this real?

339
00:20:29,604 --> 00:20:30,965
Yes, I can. That is my superpower. I don't know

340
00:20:30,965 --> 00:20:32,866
if Adam knows that yet, but I can spot a

341
00:20:32,926 --> 00:20:37,029
rug from across the floor. Is Trump's real? Yeah, his

342
00:20:37,109 --> 00:20:40,811
real. It's not quite as impressive as the vasectomy, but

343
00:20:40,871 --> 00:20:46,235
it's an important skill to have. That was really, really

344
00:20:46,295 --> 00:20:49,577
impressive. I got to say that. No kidding. Vasectomy spotting,

345
00:20:49,617 --> 00:20:55,041
like what? Did I recall the underpinning of that was

346
00:20:55,141 --> 00:20:57,643
the reduced T counts or something, and so they didn't

347
00:20:57,703 --> 00:21:02,386
quite comport themselves with as much masculinity as an unvasectomized

348
00:21:02,446 --> 00:21:07,369
guy would? What did he base that on? vasectomies were

349
00:21:07,429 --> 00:21:12,873
done Back in the day, I don't know, 1800s, I

350
00:21:12,993 --> 00:21:19,177
forget what century, were performed as a youth-making experience to

351
00:21:19,277 --> 00:21:22,679
make someone appear younger. So, you know, kind of like

352
00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:25,481
the Botox of the day. Right. It seems a little

353
00:21:25,521 --> 00:21:28,523
more painful, but that was the Botox of the day.

354
00:21:29,804 --> 00:21:32,286
make men want to look... Even then, back in those

355
00:21:32,286 --> 00:21:35,488
1700s, 1800s, you wanted to look a little feminine. That

356
00:21:35,528 --> 00:21:38,290
was kind of sexy of the day. Maybe that's been

357
00:21:38,350 --> 00:21:43,253
Billy Idol's secret. If Steve Stevens is still playing with

358
00:21:43,273 --> 00:21:47,616
Billy? Is he playing? You know what? Riddle me this.

359
00:21:47,756 --> 00:21:50,198
Why is that guy's name not up there with Hendrix

360
00:21:50,338 --> 00:21:55,361
and Clapton and Becks? He should absolutely be there. I

361
00:21:55,441 --> 00:22:00,265
interviewed him back in the late 80s. came into the

362
00:22:00,305 --> 00:22:03,047
studio, because I think it might have been Headbangers Ball,

363
00:22:03,107 --> 00:22:06,249
I don't remember. And this is, you remember these days,

364
00:22:06,329 --> 00:22:09,371
Larry, back in the day, like when even the VJs

365
00:22:09,451 --> 00:22:12,753
got gold and platinum records, and like, yeah, thanks for

366
00:22:12,793 --> 00:22:15,975
helping, son, here's something to hang on your wall. And

367
00:22:16,015 --> 00:22:19,698
he came in and he gave me his signature Steve

368
00:22:19,758 --> 00:22:23,400
Stevens hammer guitar. I still have it. I still have

369
00:22:23,460 --> 00:22:27,443
it. Signed by Steve Stevens, yeah. He was just a

370
00:22:27,743 --> 00:22:32,046
nice guy. That's so New York, right? His New York

371
00:22:32,166 --> 00:22:35,248
accent. Very much so. He literally walked down the street.

372
00:22:35,288 --> 00:22:37,009
Oh, he just walked down the street to the studio.

373
00:22:37,109 --> 00:22:39,331
Had a guitar case. Here, Adam, how you doing? These

374
00:22:39,371 --> 00:22:42,393
guys were all very, very New York. Very New York.

375
00:22:42,913 --> 00:22:46,396
Love that about him. And then there's a classic guitar

376
00:22:46,496 --> 00:22:51,559
story, Joe Satriani, who I think is also just virtuoso.

377
00:22:51,619 --> 00:22:53,901
The guy is so good. You can look it up

378
00:22:54,021 --> 00:22:59,945
on YouTube. There's two versions. There's a longer version. and

379
00:22:59,985 --> 00:23:02,406
he's going to give me guitar lessons. He's going to

380
00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:05,268
show me. Now, I'm not actually holding a guitar, but

381
00:23:05,348 --> 00:23:07,410
he has a guitar. He says, okay, Adam. And he

382
00:23:07,450 --> 00:23:10,272
says, now this is, he does some, he has a

383
00:23:10,292 --> 00:23:11,913
little bit of stuff back and forth, but that's not

384
00:23:12,013 --> 00:23:14,455
really what makes you a great guitar player. And here's

385
00:23:14,495 --> 00:23:16,916
something you can practice, Adam. You've got to make your

386
00:23:16,996 --> 00:23:23,421
faces. So he was teaching me the right face to

387
00:23:23,481 --> 00:23:25,922
make. Oh, when you hit this one, you go, you

388
00:23:26,042 --> 00:23:28,364
got to pull your lips back like that. And you

389
00:23:28,364 --> 00:23:33,107
got to close. That's what makes a great guitar player

390
00:23:33,147 --> 00:23:36,890
right there. That's great stuff. Yeah, you can have the

391
00:23:36,910 --> 00:23:39,631
sound. It's not in the gear. I mean, Ted Nugent

392
00:23:39,651 --> 00:23:41,653
told a story about Eddie Van Halen where when he

393
00:23:41,713 --> 00:23:43,634
met him, he's like, how do you get that sound?

394
00:23:43,714 --> 00:23:45,896
And Eddie handed him his guitar. He's like, I played

395
00:23:45,936 --> 00:23:47,697
it. I sound like Ted Nugent still. I don't know

396
00:23:47,737 --> 00:23:52,500
how he made those sounds. It wasn't trickery. It wasn't

397
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,682
gear. It was just pure talent in the way he

398
00:23:54,762 --> 00:23:58,444
played. Talent and tone, man. That's what it is. Yes.

399
00:23:58,524 --> 00:24:01,606
And the tone comes in the hands. Yes, it does.

400
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:06,469
Yeah. I felt bad for the rhythm guitarist on stage

401
00:24:06,509 --> 00:24:09,111
with Billy because the guy was very good, but nobody

402
00:24:09,171 --> 00:24:12,874
cared. He's getting paid to stand in the back and

403
00:24:12,974 --> 00:24:17,437
strum a few chords. I'm in show business. They were

404
00:24:17,477 --> 00:24:21,039
unbelievable, these chicks. Oh my God, they were so fantastic.

405
00:24:21,159 --> 00:24:23,281
It was really one of the best shows I've ever

406
00:24:23,321 --> 00:24:28,204
seen. Really great. Glad he's still around. I mean, that

407
00:24:28,284 --> 00:24:31,887
guy's had a few... Was this the Westbury Music Fair?

408
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:37,991
No, this was at the Mohegan Sun Hotel Casino. And

409
00:24:38,451 --> 00:24:40,332
I had to laugh like hell because a couple of

410
00:24:40,372 --> 00:24:44,215
times during the show, the hotel was located in a

411
00:24:44,275 --> 00:24:48,618
little dinky town called Uncasville, Connecticut, right? And a couple

412
00:24:48,658 --> 00:24:51,560
of times he was doing songs and he would shoehorn

413
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:56,303
in the words Uncasville, Connecticut. And so when we left,

414
00:24:56,423 --> 00:25:00,085
I turned to my wife, I said to her, saying

415
00:25:00,226 --> 00:25:07,330
I can spell Connecticut. That's what I heard. Yeah. Oh,

416
00:25:07,671 --> 00:25:11,033
no. He was basically doing it. Hello, Cleveland, and you

417
00:25:11,073 --> 00:25:14,995
misunderstood. Okay, got it. Yeah, nice. So Logan Five in

418
00:25:15,036 --> 00:25:17,077
the troll room is talking about the gold and platinum

419
00:25:17,137 --> 00:25:20,899
records. I just need to say something about that. In

420
00:25:20,939 --> 00:25:24,922
the early days, you actually could take the gold or

421
00:25:24,982 --> 00:25:28,404
platinum record out of the case and you could play

422
00:25:28,505 --> 00:25:31,547
it however you wanted. However, you had to play it

423
00:25:31,687 --> 00:25:35,589
backwards because it was a gold or platinum-plated version of,

424
00:25:35,870 --> 00:25:38,691
I guess they call it the mother. Right, so it

425
00:25:38,731 --> 00:25:42,774
was an inverse, right? Inverse, yeah. So you literally had

426
00:25:42,834 --> 00:25:46,917
to play it backwards, but they did play. They actually

427
00:25:46,917 --> 00:25:50,780
did play. Later, it was just... I mean, I still,

428
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:55,022
mine still have, later I got the CD versions from

429
00:25:55,202 --> 00:25:57,584
Michael Jackson and Aerosmith, which is, those are some of

430
00:25:57,624 --> 00:25:59,846
my, I like those because I can always, you know,

431
00:26:00,046 --> 00:26:02,327
connect the story to it. But I have a lot

432
00:26:02,387 --> 00:26:05,489
of the old school platinum and gold records and they

433
00:26:05,790 --> 00:26:10,573
all have a little cassette stuck to the. the right-hand

434
00:26:10,673 --> 00:26:13,054
bottom corner, you know, because it also sold on cassette

435
00:26:13,115 --> 00:26:14,856
back in the day. And those, of course, over the

436
00:26:14,856 --> 00:26:17,257
years have, you know, come unglued and dropped, and they're

437
00:26:17,277 --> 00:26:21,940
kind of loose in the case. Memorabilia is fun. If

438
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,063
you played them forward, would they reveal the masked satanic

439
00:26:25,143 --> 00:26:30,766
lyrics? I buried Paul. Yeah, I always just assumed those

440
00:26:30,906 --> 00:26:33,969
were, you know, made up, and they weren't actually the

441
00:26:34,089 --> 00:26:35,750
album. So it's good to know they actually took a

442
00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:38,872
copy of the album and made those awards. They did.

443
00:26:39,232 --> 00:26:41,434
For a while. for a while, but it got old

444
00:26:41,454 --> 00:26:44,496
and I didn't do that anymore. And then the whole

445
00:26:44,536 --> 00:26:48,278
industry changed and nobody buys music anymore. Well, you still

446
00:26:48,318 --> 00:26:50,420
do, right? You buy a lot of vinyl. Oh, well,

447
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,821
the vinyl, yeah, now that's the... You know what's crazy?

448
00:26:52,841 --> 00:26:58,385
You know how Spotify... Spotify is in a very difficult

449
00:26:58,465 --> 00:27:03,428
position with podcasts because they are also, you know, owned

450
00:27:03,468 --> 00:27:06,250
by... I mean, it's a public company, but a lot

451
00:27:06,330 --> 00:27:08,732
of the insiders who owned shares early on were the...

452
00:27:10,193 --> 00:27:13,275
Publishing companies and the record companies who own the rights

453
00:27:13,335 --> 00:27:15,717
to all this music, which is why you know artists

454
00:27:15,877 --> 00:27:18,518
You know really don't get paid very well because they

455
00:27:18,538 --> 00:27:20,800
don't own their publishing, you know Sound Exchange came in

456
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:23,462
and so there is some money But that whole the

457
00:27:23,462 --> 00:27:25,623
whole system is screwy because they just put it into

458
00:27:25,663 --> 00:27:27,545
a big pot and then they divide it up by

459
00:27:27,685 --> 00:27:31,247
plays so the whole thing is corrupt and no good,

460
00:27:31,347 --> 00:27:35,230
but We were never on Spotify with this show because

461
00:27:35,290 --> 00:27:39,132
they had an early contract that said – first of

462
00:27:39,152 --> 00:27:42,755
all, signing a contract with basically a podcast app. I'm

463
00:27:42,775 --> 00:27:46,777
like, no. That's not going to do that. And they

464
00:27:46,918 --> 00:27:50,580
put us on and they could play ads. in front

465
00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:53,722
of our podcast. No, I don't want that. So I

466
00:27:53,762 --> 00:27:55,443
went through all kinds of hoops to get us taken

467
00:27:55,563 --> 00:27:58,165
off and we finally got taken off. Then I guess

468
00:27:58,245 --> 00:28:00,286
it was like a year ago or something and we

469
00:28:00,327 --> 00:28:02,888
were talking about, no, I'll put us back on Spotify,

470
00:28:03,489 --> 00:28:07,571
which of course couldn't happen because somewhere in their database

471
00:28:07,651 --> 00:28:12,034
it said never import the feed because those guys are

472
00:28:12,054 --> 00:28:15,497
dicks so you don't want them. They got that undone.

473
00:28:16,137 --> 00:28:21,721
But then we've had episode after episode episode taken off.

474
00:28:22,461 --> 00:28:27,225
because of a violation of music copyrights. You cannot have

475
00:28:27,425 --> 00:28:33,309
any music... in your podcast on Spotify. And at first

476
00:28:33,389 --> 00:28:36,631
I thought it was, you know, just any music that

477
00:28:36,691 --> 00:28:40,233
was detecting something. I know that we have some songs

478
00:28:40,293 --> 00:28:44,056
that are technically completely legal because it's parody of an

479
00:28:44,116 --> 00:28:46,698
existing song, and it's within the context of the show,

480
00:28:46,798 --> 00:28:51,401
so we're not releasing it as a separate entity. But

481
00:28:52,041 --> 00:28:53,882
the other day I got two and I'm like, what

482
00:28:53,983 --> 00:28:56,304
is going on? What are they striking us off? You

483
00:28:56,384 --> 00:28:58,285
know, you can appeal it. Yeah, I'm going to click

484
00:28:58,345 --> 00:29:01,167
that link. No, whatever. You should use a real podcast

485
00:29:01,307 --> 00:29:05,410
app. What's happening is people who do end of show

486
00:29:05,530 --> 00:29:12,075
mixes. are also submitting their songs to spotify for people

487
00:29:12,135 --> 00:29:14,937
to enjoy them so now we're in the spotify music

488
00:29:14,997 --> 00:29:18,359
database they see that we're playing that on our show

489
00:29:18,459 --> 00:29:21,621
boom violation you're out no i see i would have

490
00:29:21,661 --> 00:29:23,582
thought it was sir chris wilson because he's done a

491
00:29:23,662 --> 00:29:26,925
few parodies that are you know again songs that everybody

492
00:29:26,965 --> 00:29:29,727
would know but putting his spin on it which that

493
00:29:29,827 --> 00:29:33,149
i kind of understand getting clipped before but yeah not

494
00:29:33,969 --> 00:29:36,551
not ai i had to i had to research and

495
00:29:36,551 --> 00:29:38,392
i'm like oh i see what's happening but you know

496
00:29:38,392 --> 00:29:42,235
again if spotify were were doing the right thing then

497
00:29:42,495 --> 00:29:45,797
you know and not just doing algorithmic detection you know

498
00:29:46,198 --> 00:29:50,641
we have it is completely within the fair use um

499
00:29:51,341 --> 00:29:54,443
uh clause of the copyright law to do a parody

500
00:29:54,583 --> 00:29:57,245
of an existing song within the con you know not

501
00:29:57,285 --> 00:29:59,967
releasing it ourselves but within the context of

502
00:30:01,181 --> 00:30:05,424
an educational program, which of course no agenda is, but

503
00:30:05,724 --> 00:30:08,305
we'll never get over that hurdle. So just get a

504
00:30:08,366 --> 00:30:11,668
modern podcast app, people. I was once sort of Spotify'd

505
00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:16,291
by John Dvorak, Adam. This went back. I'm serious. This

506
00:30:16,331 --> 00:30:19,173
went back. Yeah. At the very height of the COVID

507
00:30:19,253 --> 00:30:22,995
thing, I sent you a couple of end of show

508
00:30:23,135 --> 00:30:25,477
songs. And this one was kind of, it was, it

509
00:30:25,497 --> 00:30:27,218
was, it was, it was, of course, a parody of

510
00:30:27,298 --> 00:30:30,700
teacher children, no AI, all my own guitar tracks, vocals,

511
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,802
whatever. And you dug it so much that somewhere, maybe

512
00:30:34,043 --> 00:30:36,784
40, 50 minutes into it, when you mentioned that show

513
00:30:36,824 --> 00:30:38,866
mixes, you said, and here's something that came in from,

514
00:30:38,926 --> 00:30:40,927
from that Larry guy. This is really cool. And you

515
00:30:41,007 --> 00:30:44,990
got maybe, maybe one and a half bars played. And

516
00:30:45,030 --> 00:30:46,951
John goes, that goes at the end of the show.

517
00:30:47,071 --> 00:30:50,494
And I thought, wait, he really is Buzzkill. Wow. Thank

518
00:30:50,534 --> 00:30:55,397
you, John. I got to dig that one up, Larry.

519
00:30:55,437 --> 00:30:59,039
I completely forgot about that. It's amazing how people come

520
00:30:59,099 --> 00:31:01,401
up to me and say, hey, remember that episode when?

521
00:31:01,681 --> 00:31:04,583
And I just go blank. I'm like, of course. I

522
00:31:04,703 --> 00:31:07,265
got to tell you, man, I really don't remember this

523
00:31:07,465 --> 00:31:12,668
at all. It was very funny. Oh, man. Oh, man.

524
00:31:13,449 --> 00:31:16,011
So anyway, I appreciate you guys holding down the fort.

525
00:31:16,191 --> 00:31:20,193
And I look forward to, you know, joining on Thursday.

526
00:31:20,373 --> 00:31:24,456
I'll be fresh, ready to do some media deconstruction with

527
00:31:24,516 --> 00:31:31,181
you. The closure for me in this weekend. has been

528
00:31:31,261 --> 00:31:34,683
that, of course, I want to be, I'm still producing

529
00:31:35,243 --> 00:31:38,806
for you guys, doing clips and bringing you information. And

530
00:31:38,826 --> 00:31:41,267
I always want to be a part of this show,

531
00:31:41,427 --> 00:31:44,109
certainly on Thursdays. But I do have a calling to

532
00:31:44,169 --> 00:31:46,571
do more with We Get to Do This with Pastor

533
00:31:46,631 --> 00:31:51,914
Jimmy. I'm just going to be honest. I'm 61. Things

534
00:31:51,974 --> 00:31:53,415
happened to me a couple of years ago, so I

535
00:31:53,535 --> 00:31:56,137
am going to continue to build that up as well.

536
00:31:56,397 --> 00:31:59,700
But I'm more convinced than ever that NOAA Gen of

537
00:31:59,780 --> 00:32:02,902
the Nation will get through this, will become healthier, will

538
00:32:02,942 --> 00:32:07,405
become, I believe, even stronger and bigger. And I like

539
00:32:08,085 --> 00:32:11,287
kind of the Troika thing that you guys have started

540
00:32:11,287 --> 00:32:13,969
to develop here. And we talked the other day, and

541
00:32:13,989 --> 00:32:16,931
I encourage you to look at some of the people

542
00:32:16,951 --> 00:32:19,393
in NOAA Gen of the Nation for maybe joining you

543
00:32:19,513 --> 00:32:23,335
on Sunday. something is changing here and I got I

544
00:32:23,415 --> 00:32:25,517
got it feels good to me it feels like good

545
00:32:25,577 --> 00:32:28,679
things are happening like the old morning zoos but actually

546
00:32:28,739 --> 00:32:32,521
funny Oh, God, thank you. Yeah, exactly. And without the

547
00:32:32,581 --> 00:32:36,104
bull crap. For a time there, every single morning zoo,

548
00:32:36,164 --> 00:32:40,847
which, by the way, morning radio guys, 90% are overweight.

549
00:32:41,327 --> 00:32:42,828
This is just a fact of life. Yes, that's very

550
00:32:42,848 --> 00:32:46,070
true. And it was the Nutri system. And they'd all

551
00:32:46,331 --> 00:32:48,752
lead into this. You know, it's like today the podcasts

552
00:32:48,792 --> 00:32:52,335
have. You know, if you're worried about the Muslims taking

553
00:32:52,355 --> 00:32:54,196
over Texas, you might want to buy some gold. I

554
00:32:54,256 --> 00:32:56,898
mean, this is every single podcast does this now. And

555
00:32:56,978 --> 00:33:00,080
those guys would all be like, well, you know, you

556
00:33:00,140 --> 00:33:04,623
know, Ross, I was stood on the scale this morning.

557
00:33:04,663 --> 00:33:07,345
And, oh, it's all water weight. Oh, yeah. But, you

558
00:33:07,385 --> 00:33:10,927
know, I've been on the Nutrisystem and it's been. for

559
00:33:10,967 --> 00:33:13,709
me. None of these guys ever got under 300 pounds,

560
00:33:13,789 --> 00:33:16,431
okay? It never, ever, ever worked. So without all that

561
00:33:16,511 --> 00:33:22,675
lameness, without the joke guy, you know, without the black

562
00:33:22,735 --> 00:33:24,876
guy who does sports, it was all so racist these

563
00:33:24,936 --> 00:33:27,998
morning zoos, without the hot sounding news lady who was

564
00:33:28,038 --> 00:33:31,260
never hot looking. Never hot. We need that. Was that

565
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:35,183
Ross you mentioned? Ross Britton? Ross Britton, yeah, you know

566
00:33:35,263 --> 00:33:37,304
exactly who I'm talking about. I know Ross very well.

567
00:33:37,645 --> 00:33:40,447
And I used to write schtick for the Z when

568
00:33:40,507 --> 00:33:42,088
it first started with him. And I think it was

569
00:33:42,128 --> 00:33:45,170
partners. No kidding. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is going way

570
00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:48,432
back. And I won't tell you now, but Ross then

571
00:33:48,552 --> 00:33:53,335
duped me into a job at WNEW AM, from which

572
00:33:53,715 --> 00:33:58,739
I was eventually fired by proxy by Sinatra. Wow. I'll

573
00:33:59,239 --> 00:34:02,621
tell that story another time. It's absolutely true. I believe

574
00:34:02,701 --> 00:34:04,883
it. I believe it. Ross was a good guy, but

575
00:34:04,903 --> 00:34:07,485
the Zee mornings used to drive me nuts. Is he

576
00:34:07,565 --> 00:34:11,747
still alive? I think he is. I saw him on

577
00:34:11,847 --> 00:34:14,189
Facebook a couple years back, and he was doing morning

578
00:34:14,249 --> 00:34:16,931
drive on, I forget who it was. It was still

579
00:34:16,971 --> 00:34:18,932
in New York Station. Ross is a good guy. I

580
00:34:18,952 --> 00:34:21,694
liked him a lot. He's a good friend. Now, they

581
00:34:21,754 --> 00:34:24,556
had Mr. Leonard. Do you remember Mr. Leonard? Mr. Leonard.

582
00:34:25,056 --> 00:34:27,458
Mr. Lennigan. Of course I remember Mr. Lennigan. So this

583
00:34:27,518 --> 00:34:31,961
guy had a super gig. Leonard was again a guy

584
00:34:32,021 --> 00:34:34,963
who was at least 300 pounds and four foot ten

585
00:34:35,843 --> 00:34:38,985
and he it's Mr. Leonard and he had this voice

586
00:34:39,726 --> 00:34:41,607
and he it was funny I mean he had funny

587
00:34:41,707 --> 00:34:46,230
bits but he would call 15 stations a day and

588
00:34:46,530 --> 00:34:48,692
but he would call them from the station he was

589
00:34:48,772 --> 00:34:52,655
visiting but Mr. Leonard it sounded like Mr. Leonard lived

590
00:34:52,695 --> 00:34:55,276
in New York he drove a lime green pinto the

591
00:34:55,316 --> 00:34:58,238
guy lived in Philly I think and you know so

592
00:34:58,298 --> 00:35:01,340
he'd be for a week he'd be at and and

593
00:35:02,081 --> 00:35:04,262
when he wasn't doing his little stick he called these

594
00:35:04,402 --> 00:35:06,924
other 15 stations and the next week he'd be in

595
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,506
San Diego or wherever I mean the guy had an

596
00:35:10,767 --> 00:35:14,289
unbelievable gig just you know being this one character on

597
00:35:14,429 --> 00:35:18,252
all these radio stations back when radio stations were local

598
00:35:18,252 --> 00:35:20,893
you know when you just had a local station you

599
00:35:20,973 --> 00:35:23,955
had your local guys now it's like elvis durant in

600
00:35:23,995 --> 00:35:27,338
the morning good morning san francisco good morning dallas good

601
00:35:27,478 --> 00:35:32,861
morning philadelphia you know become so homogenized and crappy that

602
00:35:33,282 --> 00:35:36,464
I'm glad that we have a podcast like ours. Absolutely.

603
00:35:36,584 --> 00:35:39,386
It's all Jack FM. Accent on the Jack. It is.

604
00:35:39,766 --> 00:35:47,371
It is. Straight up. Straight up. Straight up. This is

605
00:35:47,911 --> 00:35:49,552
the more you're going to find out about Larry. I

606
00:35:49,652 --> 00:35:51,874
mean, he's probably on the mob's hit list if he

607
00:35:51,914 --> 00:35:55,356
had Sinatra got him fired. So talking about Sinatra. So

608
00:35:55,596 --> 00:36:01,240
last night, we're taking an Uber back from Oakland. And

609
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,542
we're sitting in the back. We're tired. And we're hearing

610
00:36:03,562 --> 00:36:07,584
all these songs. And Tina says, I miss George Michael.

611
00:36:07,644 --> 00:36:11,687
See, I miss him too. one of his ballad songs

612
00:36:12,147 --> 00:36:13,809
and then another song comes on and I'm like, oh

613
00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:16,630
this is um This is Linda Ronstadt with that black

614
00:36:16,690 --> 00:36:20,073
guy who had like the big mole above his eye

615
00:36:20,153 --> 00:36:24,115
people Bryson No, no Aaron Neville Aaron Neville and so

616
00:36:24,195 --> 00:36:26,057
we're trying to figure like who was that guy's name

617
00:36:26,097 --> 00:36:28,678
and the driver says Aaron Neville I said yeah, man,

618
00:36:28,738 --> 00:36:31,520
but you're looking up there at the display says no

619
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,042
this is my playlist and he has a little bit

620
00:36:34,042 --> 00:36:37,604
of an accent and so older guy and and so

621
00:36:37,684 --> 00:36:39,606

don't know how you follow that, but... We're going to

643
00:37:54,115 --> 00:37:58,278
try. We'll do just fine. What a pleasant interlude that

644
00:37:58,338 --> 00:38:01,400
was. Yeah, you got your Billy Idol story. Got my

645
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:04,782
Billy Idol story. Yeah, it was, wow. Who knew that

646
00:38:04,822 --> 00:38:08,245
would lead to all that? What a glorious detour we

647
00:38:08,345 --> 00:38:10,766
took. And I've been on Adam since he mentioned that

648
00:38:10,846 --> 00:38:13,428
Steve Stevens guitar sitting in his studio. I'm like, you

649
00:38:13,428 --> 00:38:16,110
got to learn how to play. He does. And I

650
00:38:16,630 --> 00:38:18,932
was looking very close. I had like kissed the stage

651
00:38:19,012 --> 00:38:22,174
seats last night. It was amazing. And then, of course,

652
00:38:22,174 --> 00:38:25,136
they had the big video screens flanking. it but he's

653
00:38:25,296 --> 00:38:27,958
he's got a whole signature deal with a Canadian guitar

654
00:38:28,058 --> 00:38:30,319
company I think called Godin or Godin I don't know

655
00:38:30,379 --> 00:38:33,221
whatever G-O-D-I-N and and a couple of them are really

656
00:38:33,321 --> 00:38:36,864
oddballs you know they've got open headstocks and nylon strings

657
00:38:37,004 --> 00:38:40,466
on them and wow but everything everything that guy touches

658
00:38:40,546 --> 00:38:43,068
sounds great because he's great yeah I'm sure there's still

659
00:38:43,128 --> 00:38:46,890
money in that getting guitar companies to make a signature

660
00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:49,012
model I mean it's sad that less and less people

661
00:38:49,072 --> 00:38:53,795
are actually playing instruments but yeah yeah you really can't

662
00:38:53,875 --> 00:38:56,337
reproduce that one going out live which is why a

663
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:59,599
lot of these guys are in their 50s 60s 70s

664
00:38:59,739 --> 00:39:02,341
or some even in their 80s i mean willie nelson

665
00:39:02,421 --> 00:39:05,823
out there in his 90s now playing it's like It's

666
00:39:05,863 --> 00:39:08,285
a dying breed, that's for sure. I'm hoping it comes

667
00:39:08,365 --> 00:39:11,467
back because you can't replace it with, and it's not

668
00:39:11,547 --> 00:39:15,449
just AI, but you can't replace it with the electronic

669
00:39:15,609 --> 00:39:19,652
music and all the synthesized stuff. I have a Willie

670
00:39:19,692 --> 00:39:21,914
story if you want that. I mean, why not? Before

671
00:39:21,934 --> 00:39:26,657
we get into real news deconstruction. I met him a

672
00:39:26,997 --> 00:39:29,158
long time ago when I was fronting a country band

673
00:39:30,139 --> 00:39:31,580
back in the good old days. And I think, yeah,

674
00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:35,062
Adam mentioned Westbury Music Fair, which was a very small

675
00:39:35,162 --> 00:39:37,084
venue. It was only a couple thousand people, and it

676
00:39:37,124 --> 00:39:40,586
was a stage that revolved in a circle. So there

677
00:39:40,606 --> 00:39:42,607
were no bad seats, none. And it was such a

678
00:39:42,787 --> 00:39:46,250
different world back then without psychos in every corner. Well,

679
00:39:46,290 --> 00:39:50,753
yeah. It was the Cadillac Cowboys and my partner. His

680
00:39:50,793 --> 00:39:53,274
name was Pontiac Pete. And he goes, hey, man, let's

681
00:39:53,274 --> 00:39:56,537
go try to find Willie. Okay. Well, of course. Why

682
00:39:56,637 --> 00:39:59,338
not? You know, why not? So we left the arena

683
00:39:59,599 --> 00:39:59,879
and walked.

684
00:40:00,252 --> 00:40:03,554
...on the side, and there was Willie just standing by

685
00:40:03,614 --> 00:40:06,836
the tour bus, hanging out. He was all alone, walked

686
00:40:06,856 --> 00:40:08,418
right up, introduced himself. He looks at me and goes,

687
00:40:08,778 --> 00:40:13,941
oh, another redhead. That's what it was back then. But

688
00:40:14,021 --> 00:40:17,624
I saw Willie again many years later in L.A. in

689
00:40:17,644 --> 00:40:20,686
a little club 20 miles north of my house called,

690
00:40:21,466 --> 00:40:23,788
I forget what that was called. And Willie was much,

691
00:40:24,288 --> 00:40:27,750
obviously, we were all much older by then. And he

692
00:40:27,830 --> 00:40:31,133
did his show like he was under sniper fire. I

693
00:40:31,193 --> 00:40:34,135
mean, he didn't even wait for the applause between songs.

694
00:40:34,255 --> 00:40:35,496
So it must have been like a last minute thing.

695
00:40:35,496 --> 00:40:37,317
Because it wasn't announced. It was suddenly a last minute

696
00:40:37,337 --> 00:40:39,538
thing. I'm driving down the Ventura Freeway and I see,

697
00:40:40,059 --> 00:40:42,700
appearing tonight, Willie Nelson. I'm a Willie fan. I'd have

698
00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:44,602
known of that if there was advance notice. But there

699
00:40:44,622 --> 00:40:46,883
was. So somebody must have dropped out. Willie was in

700
00:40:46,883 --> 00:40:48,504
the neighborhood and they said, do you want a gig?

701
00:40:48,664 --> 00:40:53,187
That's probably how it went down. And he was probably

702
00:40:53,347 --> 00:40:56,109
pushing 80 by then, you know. And he's not Billy

703
00:40:56,249 --> 00:40:58,991
Idol. He didn't quite look that good. And so at

704
00:40:59,011 --> 00:41:02,513
the end of the show, it's swarmed by chicks who

705
00:41:02,674 --> 00:41:06,016
are, you know, 21 to 30, leaping up on stage,

706
00:41:06,536 --> 00:41:10,299
handing him Sharpies and pulling down their tops so he

707
00:41:10,359 --> 00:41:15,142
can autograph their boobs. Kevin McLaughlin, you hearing that, buddy?

708
00:41:15,162 --> 00:41:18,344
And I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, if this

709
00:41:18,484 --> 00:41:22,787
guy wasn't a massive music star and he even spoke

710
00:41:22,847 --> 00:41:24,768
to any of these girls at the check stand at

711
00:41:24,788 --> 00:41:28,551
the supermarket, they'd dial 911. You know, this is the

712
00:41:28,631 --> 00:41:31,693
power of music and stardom. Yeah, this is the problem.

713
00:41:32,614 --> 00:41:36,556
Learn how to play the guitar, kids. Exactly, exactly. Absolutely.

714
00:41:36,636 --> 00:41:38,658
And Willie, I've seen him in concert a few times.

715
00:41:39,718 --> 00:41:42,980
This is part of even Elvis later in his career

716
00:41:43,381 --> 00:41:45,782
a five minute song in a minute flat you know

717
00:41:45,902 --> 00:41:49,385
it's uh yes some artists are a little different live

718
00:41:49,425 --> 00:41:52,167
willie was good but uh you know i i get

719
00:41:52,207 --> 00:41:54,488
it when you got like 8 000 hits you gotta

720
00:41:55,429 --> 00:41:57,550
Hit as much as you can in a live show.

721
00:41:58,251 --> 00:42:01,853
You do. Now you're starting us with a depressing story

722
00:42:01,973 --> 00:42:09,118
out in Michigan? Somebody commented, I love how much Larry

723
00:42:09,158 --> 00:42:13,621
hates commies. I think one of the reviews that popped

724
00:42:13,721 --> 00:42:16,202
up on one of the podcasts. I take that as

725
00:42:16,202 --> 00:42:18,564
a great compliment. I hate them with no apologies either.

726
00:42:18,744 --> 00:42:22,006
None whatsoever. Yeah, this must be that El Sayed guy,

727
00:42:22,166 --> 00:42:26,709
right? Yes. Okay, so he's going to speak about how

728
00:42:26,810 --> 00:42:29,111
glorious he is and how he's going to fix everything,

729
00:42:29,191 --> 00:42:32,914
including Medicare. And did you know, Darren? Did you know?

730
00:42:33,994 --> 00:42:38,838
The problem with Medicare is racism. Isn't everything? Isn't that

731
00:42:38,858 --> 00:42:41,259
the problem now? Racism? I guess, but I didn't know

732
00:42:41,299 --> 00:42:43,561
it applied to Medicare, but now we're about to find

733
00:42:43,661 --> 00:42:46,843
out how true that is. One of the biggest challenges

734
00:42:46,863 --> 00:42:49,305
that we have when it comes to racial inequalities in

735
00:42:49,365 --> 00:42:51,506
health, which is the area of my expertise, is what

736
00:42:51,566 --> 00:42:54,808
I studied, what I wrote my dissertation on, is that

737
00:42:54,968 --> 00:42:59,731
we have a multi-class healthcare system. So even if you

738
00:42:59,771 --> 00:43:02,633
have coverage on Medicaid, Medicaid reimburses at nearly half the

739
00:43:02,693 --> 00:43:06,136
rate as private health insurance. So healthcare companies are like,

740
00:43:06,236 --> 00:43:08,898
I'm so sorry, but you're paying half the rate. So

741
00:43:08,958 --> 00:43:11,599
you get discriminated against at the point of care. And

742
00:43:11,619 --> 00:43:16,403
too often in urban communities, because of structural racism, because

743
00:43:16,683 --> 00:43:20,845
of the circumstances of segregation, you end up having situations

744
00:43:20,906 --> 00:43:23,787
where you may have health insurance through Medicaid, but you

745
00:43:23,867 --> 00:43:27,010
don't have health care because you can't get your Medicaid

746
00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:30,972
accepted where you need to get care. There you have

747
00:43:31,032 --> 00:43:34,795
that, right? Well, new wrinkle was uncovered. He has a

748
00:43:34,855 --> 00:43:38,337
wife who is a psychiatrist. Her name is Sarah Jakuku.

749
00:43:38,417 --> 00:43:42,000
Oh, you can't make that up. I'm sorry, I mispronounced.

750
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:47,103
Jakaku. Oh, that's different. J-U-K-A-K-U. And she runs a private

751
00:43:47,143 --> 00:43:50,986
practice in Ann Arbor called Mind Work Psychiatry. And as

752
00:43:51,006 --> 00:43:53,387
I was reading this, I thought, I wish Darren had

753
00:43:53,427 --> 00:43:56,949
like a theremin clip to put in. You know, Mind

754
00:43:57,030 --> 00:44:01,312
Work Psychiatry. Anyway, here's the kicker, man. This guy's beefing

755
00:44:01,372 --> 00:44:04,254
about... Oh, I knew you could do it, man. If

756
00:44:04,454 --> 00:44:11,359
anybody... The Podfather provides all clips. Oh, that's great. So

757
00:44:11,459 --> 00:44:14,361
she opted out of Medicare in 2025. Oh, let me

758
00:44:14,421 --> 00:44:18,003
back up a second. Their income, their family income for

759
00:44:18,124 --> 00:44:21,806
last year was about $700,000, almost all of it hers.

760
00:44:22,146 --> 00:44:24,768
So she's doing real well with the mind work psychiatry.

761
00:44:25,328 --> 00:44:28,571
She opted out of Medicare in 2025, according to records

762
00:44:29,131 --> 00:44:32,753
reported by the Washington Free Beacon. So she can't bill

763
00:44:32,813 --> 00:44:35,995
the program, and she's not listed as an eligible provider.

764
00:44:36,196 --> 00:44:38,657
on any of the insurance plans that provide coverage for

765
00:44:38,737 --> 00:44:44,581
Medicare. So, you know, she's exactly the type of physician

766
00:44:44,741 --> 00:44:50,765
or shrink that her husband is deriding. So she's not

767
00:44:50,825 --> 00:44:55,008
taking Medicare or Medicaid patients. No, only for special people,

768
00:44:55,228 --> 00:44:58,831
you know. So then there's more. It says, MindWorks website

769
00:44:58,931 --> 00:45:02,093
notes that, quote, Dr. Jukaku is out of network for

770
00:45:02,313 --> 00:45:05,615
all insurance companies, meaning patients must pay out of pocket

771
00:45:05,655 --> 00:45:12,880
for her services. or unlikely to be able to afford.

772
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,141
So, just for the hell of it, I went to

773
00:45:15,202 --> 00:45:20,005
the site and guess what I saw? It says... This

774
00:45:20,085 --> 00:45:23,427
site is currently private. If you're the owner or contributor,

775
00:45:23,507 --> 00:45:28,390
log in. You always know it's bad when the social

776
00:45:28,450 --> 00:45:32,613
media or the website disappears. Yeah. And I should probably

777
00:45:32,633 --> 00:45:34,514
throw it into somebody's lap and knows what they're doing

778
00:45:34,594 --> 00:45:37,777
like you. But I went to the Wayback Machine and

779
00:45:37,817 --> 00:45:40,839
several other clones of that saying maybe somebody's got some

780
00:45:40,879 --> 00:45:43,460
pages on what it looked like before they walled it

781
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,123
off but couldn't find a damn thing. Well, that's it.

782
00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:53,207
That's it. Everything has been turned into... It's racist. Yes.

783
00:45:54,027 --> 00:45:58,550
It is. The medical system in this country is flawed.

784
00:45:58,650 --> 00:46:01,772
I don't think anybody is going to argue that it

785
00:46:02,053 --> 00:46:05,055
is the perfect system that anybody's ever come up with.

786
00:46:05,535 --> 00:46:09,678
No. I mean, I remember hearing guys like Rush Limbaugh

787
00:46:09,738 --> 00:46:11,919
talking about, well, I don't really have insurance. I just

788
00:46:11,959 --> 00:46:15,582
have enough money that if anything goes wrong, I can

789
00:46:15,662 --> 00:46:23,367
afford to pay for it. common denominator and yeah there

790
00:46:23,387 --> 00:46:27,189
are things that aren't perfect but I really have yet

791
00:46:27,209 --> 00:46:31,032
to see any evidence that anything is going to be

792
00:46:32,133 --> 00:46:36,756
approved based upon the color of somebody's skin and disapprove

793
00:46:36,816 --> 00:46:39,137
for the reason of the color of their skin. It's

794
00:46:39,137 --> 00:46:43,740
like it doesn't happen. I mean, again, people throw these

795
00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:46,282
kind of things out there. It's why the left loves

796
00:46:46,342 --> 00:46:49,064
throwing it out there because they know one. There are

797
00:46:49,164 --> 00:46:52,366
going to be some people that just believe it. Sure.

798
00:46:52,906 --> 00:46:55,368
And then it's also going to be in the world

799
00:46:55,468 --> 00:46:58,950
now, which is the AI brain. That's exactly right. It's

800
00:46:58,950 --> 00:47:01,812
going to pop up on ChatGPT. You know that, of

801
00:47:01,892 --> 00:47:05,775
course. Yeah, it has to eventually at some point or

802
00:47:05,855 --> 00:47:08,217
not. And as you pointed out last time, this is

803
00:47:08,257 --> 00:47:12,279
why they absolute flood everything with their crap, knowing if

804
00:47:12,359 --> 00:47:15,381
the seepage is going to be fast and thick into

805
00:47:16,142 --> 00:47:22,306
AI. the way it's going to be. There's no question

806
00:47:22,366 --> 00:47:27,169
about it. Now, does the next clip go with that

807
00:47:27,309 --> 00:47:29,951
one, or is that a different one? That would be,

808
00:47:30,391 --> 00:47:35,735
this is a different one. You're talking about the Jason

809
00:47:35,775 --> 00:47:38,457
Arday clip? Yeah, let's hop into that one that we

810
00:47:38,537 --> 00:47:40,858
can do. Okay. Let's call it three by three in

811
00:47:40,898 --> 00:47:45,401
honor of JCD. All right. Okay, this is an interesting

812
00:47:45,441 --> 00:47:50,385
story. Before I get to Jason, this is basically Great

813
00:47:50,465 --> 00:47:55,808
Britain's answer to George Santos. Remember the Santos guy? the

814
00:47:55,968 --> 00:48:00,531
compulsive liar that got elected as a Republican. Yes. Very

815
00:48:00,551 --> 00:48:03,774
bad glasses. Very bad glasses. And so the guy had

816
00:48:03,834 --> 00:48:06,796
this litany of lies that were mind-blowing. Like he claimed

817
00:48:06,816 --> 00:48:09,477
he graduated from Baruch College and got an MBA from

818
00:48:09,517 --> 00:48:12,579
New York University. Both said, never heard of him. He

819
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,201
said he worked at Goldman Sachs and Citicorp. They said,

820
00:48:15,381 --> 00:48:17,303
never heard of him. He said he and his family

821
00:48:17,423 --> 00:48:20,345
owned 13 rental properties. Never happened. He said he was

822
00:48:20,425 --> 00:48:23,327
a volleyball star at Baruch. But of course, how could

823
00:48:23,367 --> 00:48:27,870
that happen? Nobody ever fact-checked, right? I guess they finally

824
00:48:27,930 --> 00:48:32,773
did. established an animal charity that brought in a lot

825
00:48:32,833 --> 00:48:38,016
of yen for our four-legged friends. But finally they caught

826
00:48:38,036 --> 00:48:40,978
up with him. And interestingly enough, when they said, "What

827
00:48:41,259 --> 00:48:45,041
the hell are you doing?" And his answer was, "Most

828
00:48:45,101 --> 00:48:49,764
people lie on their resumes." He's not wrong! He's not

829
00:48:49,824 --> 00:48:53,086
wrong. He's not wrong. So at the same time, this

830
00:48:53,146 --> 00:48:56,509
went on two or three years ago with... with this

831
00:48:56,549 --> 00:49:04,534
guy, come on, brain work, with Santos. So then this

832
00:49:04,574 --> 00:49:08,997
guy, Arday, just hit the papers, or the websites, you

833
00:49:09,037 --> 00:49:12,619
should say, and he obviously was thinking, hold my beer,

834
00:49:12,659 --> 00:49:17,863
what went on. So this clip is one of his

835
00:49:18,103 --> 00:49:24,567
academic sycophants introducing him. When I heard this woman speaking,

836
00:49:24,567 --> 00:49:27,609
I'm thinking, when she's gonna drop the name at the

837
00:49:27,669 --> 00:49:30,751
end of her rap, it's gotta be Jesus. I mean,

838
00:49:31,012 --> 00:49:33,493
really, listen to what she has to say. - I'm

839
00:49:33,573 --> 00:49:38,437
Rajni Naidoo. I'm vice president for community and inclusion, a

840
00:49:38,557 --> 00:49:43,000
UNESCO chair and co-director of the International Center for Higher

841
00:49:43,060 --> 00:49:47,423
Education at the University of Varna. So it's a great,

842
00:49:47,683 --> 00:49:56,669
great, great pleasure to welcome Professor Jason Arday. at the

843
00:49:56,709 --> 00:49:59,951
University of Glasgow. Previously he was a

844
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:05,204
Associate Professor in Sociology at Durham University and the Deputy

845
00:50:05,364 --> 00:50:09,787
Executive Dean for People and Culture. He is a visiting

846
00:50:09,987 --> 00:50:15,070
and honorary professor at many, many universities, including Ohio State

847
00:50:15,350 --> 00:50:19,453
in the US, Durham in the UK, and Nelson Mandela

848
00:50:19,553 --> 00:50:27,018
University in South Africa. Jason also holds numerous trusteeships, including

849
00:50:27,058 --> 00:50:31,321
at the Runnymede Trust, which is the UK's leading race

850
00:50:31,341 --> 00:50:36,525
equality think tank. Jason is also a fellow of the

851
00:50:36,885 --> 00:50:39,607
RSA. Oh, my God. She keeps going on and on

852
00:50:39,987 --> 00:50:44,030
and on. It's beyond belief. Yeah. Yeah. Is that all

853
00:50:44,050 --> 00:50:47,672
she had to say? There's another 20 seconds. You know,

854
00:50:47,732 --> 00:50:51,575
we've heard enough. This is a hell of an introduction.

855
00:50:52,355 --> 00:50:55,017
and it's this spectacular scholar, blah, blah, blah, right? So

856
00:50:55,037 --> 00:50:57,539
anyway, so he just got busted. Well, I'm just thinking,

857
00:50:57,539 --> 00:50:59,840
Larry, we can change our intro to this show to

858
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:01,662
be like an hour long, and then that's less work.

859
00:51:02,382 --> 00:51:04,383
I like that. That's a hell of an idea. We

860
00:51:04,444 --> 00:51:09,667
need long intros. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, Jason, he actually,

861
00:51:09,707 --> 00:51:12,449
like I said, he made Santos look like an amateur.

862
00:51:12,509 --> 00:51:15,251
Here's just a quick rundown of the lies he told.

863
00:51:15,751 --> 00:51:17,753
First, he said that he was a star of a

864
00:51:17,873 --> 00:51:22,716
famous British documentary called Seven Up. But the only problem

865
00:51:22,756 --> 00:51:27,039
is that he was born 21 years after the documentary

866
00:51:27,679 --> 00:51:31,162
was filmed. Then he claimed he was autistic and nonverbal

867
00:51:31,322 --> 00:51:35,144
until the age of 11. Other witnesses disproved that. You'll

868
00:51:35,164 --> 00:51:41,669
like this one. Marathons in just 35 days Wow, I

869
00:51:41,749 --> 00:51:43,650
guess and I think maybe he was thinking like that's

870
00:51:43,690 --> 00:51:45,371
a little tough to you know Other people are in

871
00:51:45,431 --> 00:51:47,653
those marathons, you know, there could be like a registry

872
00:51:47,673 --> 00:51:49,774
or something for them So then he followed up with

873
00:51:49,854 --> 00:51:52,956
I also ran 600 miles in six days on a

874
00:51:53,016 --> 00:51:56,459
treadmill because treadmills don't talk and they don't keep records

875
00:51:56,539 --> 00:51:59,401
Right says he read raised millions of pounds for various

876
00:51:59,441 --> 00:52:03,543
charities overcame a brain tumor while completing his PhD Then

877
00:52:03,644 --> 00:52:06,566
they found out that there were hundreds of passages in

878
00:52:06,646 --> 00:52:12,029
his dissertation that were plagiarized, right? So he didn't dispute

879
00:52:12,670 --> 00:52:16,812
being a plagiarist, but what he did see, he defended

880
00:52:16,832 --> 00:52:20,655
himself by saying that he had not received adequate supervision

881
00:52:21,095 --> 00:52:26,279
during his PhD given his autism and learning disabilities. Wow.

882
00:52:26,979 --> 00:52:31,202
Yeah. And it just goes on and on. But the

883
00:52:31,262 --> 00:52:34,144
funny thing is, just like Santos, when they kind of

884
00:52:34,745 --> 00:52:37,166
held his feet to the fire, he said, well, to

885
00:52:37,206 --> 00:52:39,628
be honest with you, I thought you'd just believe me.

886
00:52:41,589 --> 00:52:44,531
We've seen it happen. We've seen it happen. Here's the

887
00:52:44,591 --> 00:52:47,573
big ironic kick in the ass to Simon and Schuster,

888
00:52:52,059 --> 00:52:55,242
August 11th. It drops in the USA. You can't believe

889
00:52:55,282 --> 00:53:02,046
this title. you great and unfortunate things. You can't make

890
00:53:02,086 --> 00:53:05,629
this up. This is the new world we're living in.

891
00:53:05,889 --> 00:53:10,532
Misinformation is more prevalent. But this guy is like barely

892
00:53:10,672 --> 00:53:14,495
40. He's an internet child. He was raised in it.

893
00:53:14,795 --> 00:53:17,877
How can he be that stupid? You can't do anything

894
00:53:17,957 --> 00:53:21,339
today without it being documented by someone in some way

895
00:53:21,439 --> 00:53:25,902
somewhere. Unless you're planting the backstory. This was when people

896
00:53:25,982 --> 00:53:29,905
started pulling scams on the internet. They would create a

897
00:53:29,965 --> 00:53:33,467
website with fake bios and fake information. So when people

898
00:53:33,527 --> 00:53:35,248
went to look it up, they'd find them and be

899
00:53:35,289 --> 00:53:38,671
like, oh, it must be true. This has just been

900
00:53:38,711 --> 00:53:43,794
multiplied now by... I don't know, a million more? This

901
00:53:43,794 --> 00:53:46,176
guy, is he running for office like Santos? No, no,

902
00:53:46,176 --> 00:53:50,319
I think he's running for cover. He's just trying to

903
00:53:50,379 --> 00:53:53,901
sell books? I guess. Well, I mean, I guess if

904
00:53:53,921 --> 00:53:58,984
you're going to pad your resume, sometimes you need more

905
00:53:59,044 --> 00:54:01,306
than just a blurb from JCD on the book. You

906
00:54:01,346 --> 00:54:07,530
need a lot of blurbs that really come from nobody.

907
00:54:07,550 --> 00:54:14,095
Yeah. And now it's time for 3x3! Experiment by JCD.

908
00:54:15,135 --> 00:54:22,640
Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC! *The Neverend* Yeah,

909
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:25,322
John C. Dvorak created it, but I think we can

910
00:54:25,462 --> 00:54:28,024
use it every now and then because it's a valuable

911
00:54:28,084 --> 00:54:31,626
way to look at what the media is saying about

912
00:54:31,666 --> 00:54:35,329
certain topics. In this case, Larry, it is the Trump

913
00:54:35,629 --> 00:54:52,460
ballroom. And we'll start with the Trump-friendly Fox News. the

914
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,622
East Wing almost a year ago to build the new

915
00:54:55,703 --> 00:55:00,706
90,000 square foot ballroom, which includes an underground military bunker.

916
00:55:00,726 --> 00:55:03,228
The majority of the judges wrote, we are aware of

917
00:55:03,348 --> 00:55:06,730
no instance in American history in which a president unilaterally

918
00:55:07,090 --> 00:55:11,153
and using privately collected funds demolished substantial portions of the

919
00:55:11,233 --> 00:55:14,275
White House that Congress authorized to be built and American

920
00:55:14,355 --> 00:55:18,338
taxpayers paid for until now. The president says he will

921
00:55:18,378 --> 00:55:21,320
appeal to the Supreme Court, adding the military and Secret

922
00:55:21,380 --> 00:55:25,442
Service are viewing this horrendous politically motivated and unlawful ruling

923
00:55:25,563 --> 00:55:28,665
as a national security threat to our nation in that

924
00:55:28,685 --> 00:55:31,867
the entire complex is being built for the protection of

925
00:55:31,987 --> 00:55:34,368
our country. Now, Shannon, the ballroom is just one of

926
00:55:34,449 --> 00:55:36,830
several ways the president is trying to leave a lasting

927
00:55:36,890 --> 00:55:40,933
mark on the nation's capital. The 250-foot arches proposing between

928
00:55:40,953 --> 00:55:44,015
the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery has yet to

929
00:55:44,075 --> 00:55:47,717
take shape. But a recent National Park Service assessment points

930
00:55:47,818 --> 00:55:51,220
out the structure would change the views of dozens of

931
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:54,702
historic sites. Like the ballroom, there's a lawsuit aimed at

932
00:55:54,822 --> 00:55:57,864
blocking the arch. President Trump is also having a new

933
00:55:58,004 --> 00:56:00,846
helipad built for Marine One to land on the South

934
00:56:00,926 --> 00:56:03,928
Lawn, and there are reports he's already changed his mind

935
00:56:03,968 --> 00:56:07,271
a few times on that, Shannon, after construction has already

936
00:56:07,311 --> 00:56:10,693
gotten underway. No, Donald Trump would never change his mind

937
00:56:10,813 --> 00:56:13,535
about anything, would he? Never, never. No, put it there.

938
00:56:13,575 --> 00:56:15,256
No, put it there. No, put it there. No, it

939
00:56:15,316 --> 00:56:18,798
would look better there. God. But they are pointing out

940
00:56:18,938 --> 00:56:20,960
one thing that's starting to come out with this story,

941
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,462
which is there seems to be a much different take

942
00:56:25,383 --> 00:56:31,227
legally. based upon if what's being built is above ground

943
00:56:31,747 --> 00:56:35,069
or underground. The courts are seemingly pointing now like he

944
00:56:35,129 --> 00:56:38,031
can do whatever he wants underground because it's security, blah,

945
00:56:38,051 --> 00:56:42,374
blah, blah. Oh, okay. The above ground is where the

946
00:56:42,554 --> 00:56:46,197
real problem comes into. Some people don't want the ballroom.

947
00:56:46,257 --> 00:56:50,780
And the report here is correct. There is no other

948
00:56:50,860 --> 00:56:54,803
point in history where this kind of massive change was

949
00:56:55,003 --> 00:57:00,867
enacted by the president without having some congressional approval. But

950
00:57:00,887 --> 00:57:03,308
the difference is, and this is where the courts are

951
00:57:03,328 --> 00:57:04,769
going to come in, because I'm not a lawyer like

952
00:57:04,809 --> 00:57:08,512
Rob, the constitutional lawyer. I have no idea. If it

953
00:57:08,592 --> 00:57:14,556
was because Trump needed the funding from Congress to build

954
00:57:14,656 --> 00:57:17,017
it, and since he got the funding privately, he has

955
00:57:17,057 --> 00:57:20,680
the ability, or if he still needs somebody else's approval,

956
00:57:20,820 --> 00:57:24,703
even if he's got the money. But this, of course,

957
00:57:24,763 --> 00:57:38,652
same story. This is the very Trump unfriendly ABC. construction

958
00:57:39,092 --> 00:57:43,515
of that $400 million ballroom, saying only Congress has the

959
00:57:43,555 --> 00:57:46,597
authority to approve changes to the historic structure. Our Stephen

960
00:57:46,677 --> 00:57:49,419
Portnoy has been tracking this for us. And Stephen, I

961
00:57:49,459 --> 00:57:51,801
want to start with this. What is the essence of

962
00:57:51,901 --> 00:57:55,723
the judge's ruling here? What is the essence? Oh, yeah,

963
00:57:55,763 --> 00:57:57,264
that's kind of like, what do you make of it,

964
00:57:57,365 --> 00:58:00,547
isn't it? It's very similar, yeah. Wasn't the original price

965
00:58:00,587 --> 00:58:02,948
of that $200 million, Darren? Did they double that? It

966
00:58:03,008 --> 00:58:06,190
keeps going up, just like he keeps moving the helipad.

967
00:58:06,511 --> 00:58:08,092
I don't know how much money he's got. He's like,

968
00:58:08,112 --> 00:58:10,293
hey, people keep giving me money, so I'm going to

969
00:58:10,353 --> 00:58:13,956
build a bigger pool. I don't know. You know, basically,

970
00:58:14,336 --> 00:58:17,098
this two-to-one ruling from the D.C. Circuit Appeals Court is

971
00:58:17,158 --> 00:58:20,660
that the White House does not belong to the president,

972
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,522
that he is not the owner of the executive mansion,

973
00:58:24,082 --> 00:58:27,365
a tenant. And in this two to one ruling, the

974
00:58:27,525 --> 00:58:31,187
Obama and Biden appointed judges who ruled against the president

975
00:58:31,588 --> 00:58:35,230
said that, quote, whether or not a massive ballroom should

976
00:58:35,250 --> 00:58:38,052
be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not

977
00:58:38,112 --> 00:58:42,075
a matter for executive self-help. And so the bottom line

978
00:58:42,195 --> 00:58:45,957
is the judges are saying that but for a security

979
00:58:46,177 --> 00:58:50,520
or safety related things, the injunction that was imposed earlier

980
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,362
this year by a lower court has to go into

981
00:58:53,462 --> 00:58:56,244
effect. Now, the ruling itself is paused for two weeks,

982
00:58:56,304 --> 00:58:58,906
and that's to allow for the president, if he decides

983
00:58:58,966 --> 00:59:01,327
to do it, to appeal, which he said today he's

984
00:59:01,348 --> 00:59:05,490
going to do. Well, and Stephen, where does that leave

985
00:59:05,610 --> 00:59:09,933
this construction project? Well, it's important to point out a

986
00:59:09,993 --> 00:59:12,695
couple of things. One, as I mentioned, the appeals court

987
00:59:12,875 --> 00:59:16,578
itself put in place a two-week stay, a pause, to

988
00:59:16,658 --> 00:59:19,620
allow for the president to appeal, which he says on

989
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:23,482
social media today, this unjust decision must be overturned by

990
00:59:23,502 --> 00:59:26,124
the Supreme Court in its entirety. The president says he's

991
00:59:26,144 --> 00:59:29,326
going to immediately appeal it to the Supreme Court. There's

992
00:59:29,386 --> 00:59:31,007
another step he could take if he wanted to, and

993
00:59:31,027 --> 00:59:33,169
that's called en banc review, which would have all the

994
00:59:33,189 --> 00:59:39,193
judges of the D.C. And bonk. I think it would

995
00:59:39,233 --> 00:59:41,254
just be and with a bonk, which is probably a

996
00:59:41,935 --> 00:59:44,737
B-O-N-K, really? I think. I mean, and bonk. If that's

997
00:59:44,817 --> 00:59:46,778
not a show title, I don't know what is. That's

998
00:59:46,878 --> 00:59:50,481
it. And bonk. And bonk. I guess all the judges

999
00:59:50,541 --> 00:59:52,382
get together, but you know, they're not going to be

1000
00:59:52,502 --> 00:59:58,206
friendly towards him either. So it's very interesting to see

1001
00:59:58,246 --> 00:59:59,947
how this stuff plays out. And Trump with.

1002
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,262
is social media stuff. I think a lot of people,

1003
01:00:03,342 --> 01:00:06,364
even that back, the president would like him to, you

1004
01:00:06,364 --> 01:00:08,966
know, tone things down a little. If you're going to

1005
01:00:09,106 --> 01:00:11,908
the Supreme Court, you don't have to say like, hey,

1006
01:00:12,028 --> 01:00:15,870
the obviously unjust. It's like, just say, I believe this

1007
01:00:15,971 --> 01:00:19,173
was an unjust. Yeah. You know, the obviously, and then

1008
01:00:19,273 --> 01:00:21,334
if they rule against you, then that's where people are

1009
01:00:21,374 --> 01:00:23,436
like, ah, he doesn't even know what he's, he's got

1010
01:00:23,476 --> 01:00:26,838
dementia. Of course. I have a solution for him though,

1011
01:00:27,018 --> 01:00:30,660
Darren. To fix all of the problems? all of all

1012
01:00:30,700 --> 01:00:33,542
of all those ballroom problems become a dictator to do

1013
01:00:33,622 --> 01:00:36,624
is bring in the designers the guys the brains behind

1014
01:00:36,664 --> 01:00:40,547
those very successful toys transformers you know those things right

1015
01:00:40,807 --> 01:00:43,569
so you so make it a transformer ballroom you push

1016
01:00:43,649 --> 01:00:45,630
a button and all of a sudden it turns into

1017
01:00:45,670 --> 01:00:49,133
a heavily armed bunker now now what's your problem It's

1018
01:00:49,373 --> 01:00:52,975
like they need more. I mean, especially at this point

1019
01:00:53,035 --> 01:00:57,518
when you have state actors from Iran and others, I'm

1020
01:00:57,598 --> 01:00:59,920
sure, that have hits out on the president. I mean,

1021
01:00:59,980 --> 01:01:05,263
there's never been a more... dubious time for, I guess

1022
01:01:05,323 --> 01:01:09,346
is the right, dangerous time for somebody in his position

1023
01:01:09,686 --> 01:01:13,729
and I understand why they want a place where they

1024
01:01:13,789 --> 01:01:17,552
can do things like A ballroom there makes sense, being

1025
01:01:17,612 --> 01:01:20,313
the fact that, you know, Trump often goes in D.C.

1026
01:01:20,493 --> 01:01:24,116
to things like the media dinner that he had him

1027
01:01:24,536 --> 01:01:28,539
rescheduled because of the assassination attempt. Yeah, at that hotel.

1028
01:01:28,919 --> 01:01:32,822
Absolutely, yeah. Because the security, obviously, was a little bit

1029
01:01:32,862 --> 01:01:36,884
subpar. So, I mean, this would be nice to have

1030
01:01:36,924 --> 01:01:41,227
that in-house. And this is all... I mean, I know

1031
01:01:41,287 --> 01:01:44,730
this is a surprise to everybody listening right now that's

1032
01:01:44,770 --> 01:01:47,431
a producer of No Agenda. This is just political. It

1033
01:01:47,491 --> 01:01:52,335
really isn't anything else. Of course. Because... A ballroom is

1034
01:01:52,375 --> 01:01:55,157
going to be there. If a Democrat wins, you'll be

1035
01:01:55,217 --> 01:01:57,438
pissed. Oh, wow, we've got this nice ballroom to go

1036
01:01:57,538 --> 01:02:00,040
and use. Yeah, but you know, commies don't like dancing.

1037
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,782
Well, Bernie did. I thought he went to Russia on

1038
01:02:02,842 --> 01:02:05,543
his honeymoon so he could. But Bernie could dance? I

1039
01:02:05,603 --> 01:02:08,265
want to see that. Probably 70, 80, 90 years ago,

1040
01:02:08,305 --> 01:02:12,008
however, when did Bernie get married? Long time, long time.

1041
01:02:12,148 --> 01:02:15,850
Long time. Appeal it to the Supreme Court. There's another

1042
01:02:15,930 --> 01:02:17,431
step you could take if you wanted to, and that's

1043
01:02:17,431 --> 01:02:19,753
called en banc review, which would have all the judges

1044
01:02:19,813 --> 01:02:22,214
of the D.C. Circuit looking at it. The presidency is

1045
01:02:22,214 --> 01:02:24,136
going to go right to the Supreme Court. And he

1046
01:02:24,196 --> 01:02:28,058
also pointed to what his own appointee, Naomi Rao, said

1047
01:02:28,198 --> 01:02:31,020
in her dissenting opinion today, which is that the National

1048
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:34,102
Trust for Historic Preservation, which brought this lawsuit, doesn't have

1049
01:02:34,122 --> 01:02:37,505
standing to sue. That was an argument that the administration

1050
01:02:37,545 --> 01:02:41,367
has been making throughout this litigation, but was rejected by

1051
01:02:41,387 --> 01:02:45,850
the majority, which said that the Congress has to vote

1052
01:02:45,890 --> 01:02:49,393
to authorize this project, which the president has not really

1053
01:02:49,413 --> 01:02:52,735
directly asked lawmakers to do. Yeah, which is a very

1054
01:02:52,815 --> 01:02:55,116
good point as well. I hate to agree with ABC,

1055
01:02:55,357 --> 01:02:59,539
but there's been a lot of things under this second

1056
01:02:59,799 --> 01:03:04,583
Trump term that the easy answer seems to have been

1057
01:03:05,143 --> 01:03:07,725
go and get it passed in Congress. You control the

1058
01:03:07,765 --> 01:03:11,267
House, you control the Senate. Right. Why not just go

1059
01:03:11,347 --> 01:03:16,671
that route that nobody can complain? Well, and Stephen, I'm

1060
01:03:16,711 --> 01:03:18,032
also curious, I mean, what does this mean for the

1061
01:03:18,052 --> 01:03:21,034
president's bunker that was supposed to go under that ballroom?

1062
01:03:22,274 --> 01:03:25,256
This really gets at the security and safety exception. And,

1063
01:03:25,497 --> 01:03:27,458
you know, Judge Richard Leon of the district court who

1064
01:03:27,498 --> 01:03:29,960
looked at this earlier this year said, the president is

1065
01:03:29,980 --> 01:03:33,222
making an argument that this ballroom is necessary for national

1066
01:03:33,262 --> 01:03:37,104
security. The president demolished the east wing of the White

1067
01:03:37,124 --> 01:03:40,567
House that historically had a bunker underneath it that dated

1068
01:03:40,627 --> 01:03:44,209
back to World War II, FDR's time. Well, now the

1069
01:03:44,289 --> 01:03:46,931
argument is that bunker needs to be replaced. And so

1070
01:03:47,031 --> 01:03:50,613
the judge earlier this year said, all right, we will

1071
01:03:50,713 --> 01:03:54,156
allow you to continue building those parts of this project

1072
01:03:54,176 --> 01:03:56,097
that are necessary to the security and safety of the

1073
01:03:56,137 --> 01:04:00,380
president. The appeals court judges today affirmed that. One of

1074
01:04:00,380 --> 01:04:02,741
the things that Naomi Rao, the dissenting judge, said in

1075
01:04:02,801 --> 01:04:05,503
her opinion is the idea that now, the district court

1076
01:04:05,563 --> 01:04:08,085
judge, Judge Richard Leon, is going to be required to

1077
01:04:08,405 --> 01:04:11,347
review various parts of the plan and discern for himself

1078
01:04:11,487 --> 01:04:14,129
what is or is not security related, which essentially would

1079
01:04:14,149 --> 01:04:17,711
have the court micromanaging those decisions. That's what Naomi Rao

1080
01:04:17,711 --> 01:04:20,813
believes, and the administration, I think, believes it's going to

1081
01:04:20,833 --> 01:04:23,135
have a strong argument in that respect going to the

1082
01:04:23,135 --> 01:04:26,097
Supreme Court on it. So it seems if you really

1083
01:04:26,537 --> 01:04:29,239
finally go through all of these reports, and there's still

1084
01:04:29,319 --> 01:04:32,781
one from CBS, you're going to understand that... The Trump

1085
01:04:32,841 --> 01:04:35,283
people are just going to say, and they pointed out

1086
01:04:35,403 --> 01:04:39,446
in the ABC report, the bunker is World War II

1087
01:04:39,546 --> 01:04:44,329
or previous. I'm guessing it needed some upgrading. I would

1088
01:04:44,569 --> 01:04:48,392
think. But for this reason also, it's a proven fact

1089
01:04:48,412 --> 01:04:54,296
that several members of FDR's cabinet were Soviet spies. Who

1090
01:04:54,316 --> 01:04:56,617
knows what kind of crap they packed into the floorboards

1091
01:04:56,677 --> 01:04:59,539
there. True. I would hope they have swept for it

1092
01:04:59,619 --> 01:05:01,841
since then. I would think. I would hope. You never

1093
01:05:01,861 --> 01:05:05,083
know what was built in. Yeah. You know, that is

1094
01:05:05,243 --> 01:05:08,165
part of the issue. I mean, everybody went nuts when

1095
01:05:08,245 --> 01:05:11,567
Donald Trump wanted to bring that new jumbo jet Air

1096
01:05:11,647 --> 01:05:14,469
Force One home. No, no, we got to look at

1097
01:05:14,569 --> 01:05:17,391
it first. We got to sweep it. I wonder how,

1098
01:05:17,631 --> 01:05:21,394
like, perfect those sweeping systems are. Do they ever miss

1099
01:05:21,454 --> 01:05:25,556
stuff? They have to. They have to, right? Nothing's perfect.

1100
01:05:25,737 --> 01:05:30,620
As technology gets better, as everything is wired for the

1101
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:36,684
internet, it becomes much easier because you used to look

1102
01:05:36,864 --> 01:05:41,847
for radio waves. If somebody was bugging your office, well,

1103
01:05:42,187 --> 01:05:45,430
that audio had to get out somehow unless there was

1104
01:05:45,490 --> 01:05:48,051
just a recorder locally, and that's probably going to get

1105
01:05:48,131 --> 01:05:52,254
found because recorders aren't, at that point anyway, were not

1106
01:05:52,374 --> 01:05:57,338
super small. But now you know how small cameras and

1107
01:05:57,418 --> 01:06:03,001
microphones are and connecting them into the internet. to go

1108
01:06:03,221 --> 01:06:06,263
out of whatever building you're in, not that hard to

1109
01:06:06,324 --> 01:06:09,626
do. No. Even I could do it. Yeah, why would

1110
01:06:09,686 --> 01:06:12,508
people go into like Airbnbs now? You've got to sweep.

1111
01:06:12,588 --> 01:06:15,169
You've got to look because... Oh, you know what? A

1112
01:06:15,710 --> 01:06:17,811
couple of years ago, I was supposed to connect with

1113
01:06:17,851 --> 01:06:19,853
some friends somewhere. I forget where the hell it was.

1114
01:06:20,393 --> 01:06:22,394
And so for my first time, my wife always does

1115
01:06:22,434 --> 01:06:25,076
the travel stuff, but I wasn't going to burden her

1116
01:06:25,116 --> 01:06:28,598
with my stuff. And I started looking for Airbnbs. I

1117
01:06:28,658 --> 01:06:33,281
was astonished at how many people in reviews said, Again,

1118
01:06:33,321 --> 01:06:36,424
it was loaded with cameras. And not on the outside,

1119
01:06:36,844 --> 01:06:40,146
on the inside. I thought, wow, really? That's awful. And

1120
01:06:40,166 --> 01:06:44,109
in most jurisdictions, that's legal if they're not doing audio.

1121
01:06:44,749 --> 01:06:47,871
They're just security cameras, Larry. Yeah, that's right. It's for

1122
01:06:47,911 --> 01:06:50,273
your safety. They're all in the bathroom in the changing

1123
01:06:50,353 --> 01:06:56,457
rooms. That's for no apparent reason. But here is CBS,

1124
01:06:56,537 --> 01:07:03,782
which surprisingly enough, was fairly straightforward with the story. Yes,

1125
01:07:04,282 --> 01:07:07,324
let's talk about the job site, the ballroom situation here

1126
01:07:07,384 --> 01:07:10,466
behind us. The president says he will appeal this three-judge

1127
01:07:10,586 --> 01:07:13,868
appeals court decision to the Supreme Court, arguing that there's

1128
01:07:13,908 --> 01:07:16,210
a national security imperative now to finish it. But what

1129
01:07:16,270 --> 01:07:18,692
he forgot to mention is that the court order today

1130
01:07:19,252 --> 01:07:22,634
said that the national security work underground can in fact

1131
01:07:22,694 --> 01:07:25,996
continue. It's everything from ground up that they're worried about,

1132
01:07:26,017 --> 01:07:28,258
at least in the case of these three judges with

1133
01:07:28,278 --> 01:07:31,300
the appeals court, because they say, as the district court

1134
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,723
had previously, to do this on his own Congress has

1135
01:07:35,803 --> 01:07:38,045
full oversight of federal property and how money is spent

1136
01:07:38,165 --> 01:07:40,746
on it this is in essence remember a national park

1137
01:07:41,447 --> 01:07:45,069
and Congress oversees the National Park Service so president not

1138
01:07:45,129 --> 01:07:47,771
happy about that reiterating that it is not just a

1139
01:07:47,771 --> 01:07:49,932
90,000 square foot ballroom but there's going to be all

1140
01:07:49,972 --> 01:07:53,695
these other national security military medical facilities underneath it needs

1141
01:07:53,735 --> 01:07:57,197
to be finished and anyone who suggests otherwise is un-American

1142
01:07:58,098 --> 01:08:00,720
So I don't know, is this the new regime under

1143
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,662
CBS? It's got to be the Ellison influence. Has to

1144
01:08:03,722 --> 01:08:06,323
be. Did they actually get something that was just news?

1145
01:08:06,684 --> 01:08:09,305
This is how news reports reminded me of growing up,

1146
01:08:09,345 --> 01:08:11,947
where it was just the news. Right. Not how you

1147
01:08:11,987 --> 01:08:15,489
should think. Not, oh no, Trump good or Trump bad.

1148
01:08:15,710 --> 01:08:17,691
We heard a lot of Trump good in the Fox.

1149
01:08:17,791 --> 01:08:19,812
We heard a lot of Trump bad in the ABC.

1150
01:08:21,613 --> 01:08:24,575
This is why JCD invented it. And now it's time

1151
01:08:24,676 --> 01:08:32,140
for 3x3! Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS,

1152
01:08:32,281 --> 01:08:37,784
and NBC. The never-ending 3x3. Which really is the heart

1153
01:08:37,964 --> 01:08:40,826
of the media deconstruction is to be like, hey, here's

1154
01:08:40,906 --> 01:08:45,149
a story. Here's how it's being told three different ways.

1155
01:08:45,209 --> 01:08:47,090
And why do you think that is? If you want

1156
01:08:47,130 --> 01:08:51,794
to start thinking critically, kids. You're much better off. When

1157
01:08:51,854 --> 01:08:55,516
did John first record that jingle? Well, he doesn't record

1158
01:08:55,556 --> 01:08:58,118
the jingle, but this is... Well, somebody. This thing has

1159
01:08:58,158 --> 01:09:01,340
been around for... As long as I can remember. Although

1160
01:09:01,340 --> 01:09:04,802
it could be the Mandela effect. Yeah, because it's really,

1161
01:09:05,102 --> 01:09:08,605
it should be the four by four. Well, of course.

1162
01:09:08,825 --> 01:09:11,026
And that's why I was like, okay, there was a

1163
01:09:11,166 --> 01:09:15,009
choice for me to do. CBS or CNN. And I'm

1164
01:09:15,029 --> 01:09:18,031
like, well, this is the three main. And of course,

1165
01:09:18,071 --> 01:09:21,613
there's PBS now. And then you've got the the cable

1166
01:09:21,733 --> 01:09:24,475
news, which are on a different level just from the

1167
01:09:24,535 --> 01:09:29,078
fact that. Cable news doesn't have to pay the United

1168
01:09:29,178 --> 01:09:33,942
States to use the airwaves where ABC, CBS, NBC does.

1169
01:09:34,982 --> 01:09:36,663
But I'm not saying you can't do a three by

1170
01:09:36,763 --> 01:09:39,685
three with the others. Yeah, I mean, it still works.

1171
01:09:39,745 --> 01:09:41,086
But I would think the four by four being the

1172
01:09:41,106 --> 01:09:44,368
fourth would be Fox. No, that's the other, really, the

1173
01:09:44,429 --> 01:09:48,231
network, I guess. Yeah, well, Fox News and Fox, the

1174
01:09:48,811 --> 01:09:53,595
regular, are usually within... shooting distance of each other. So

1175
01:09:53,655 --> 01:09:59,218
they're broadcast and you've got Fox, the network, which is

1176
01:09:59,378 --> 01:09:59,959
over the broadcast

1177
01:10:00,052 --> 01:10:03,895
And then you have Fox News, which is solely. over

1178
01:10:04,155 --> 01:10:05,776
cable and then of course a lot of people don't

1179
01:10:05,816 --> 01:10:10,079
know news nation is owned by the people that run

1180
01:10:10,199 --> 01:10:13,801
the cw which is wgn and i mean that's split

1181
01:10:13,901 --> 01:10:17,864
a bunch of ways as well but for regular news

1182
01:10:17,964 --> 01:10:20,065
i mean there's at least interesting i mean you've got

1183
01:10:20,085 --> 01:10:23,187
the cuomo guy there but you've got he's still doing

1184
01:10:23,227 --> 01:10:26,510
it really is that right he's there leland vitter and

1185
01:10:26,850 --> 01:10:32,354
uh they have a decent lineup which they're trying to

1186
01:10:32,494 --> 01:10:35,416
bring people from both sides on, which is usually the

1187
01:10:35,816 --> 01:10:38,337
most fun you can have in news, is having an

1188
01:10:38,438 --> 01:10:41,840
actual argument between two different people with different opinions, which

1189
01:10:42,220 --> 01:10:46,143
now you don't see. Nothing annoys me more than turning

1190
01:10:46,423 --> 01:10:53,087
on something like CNN and having four people in the

1191
01:10:53,147 --> 01:10:55,949
little, usually a host and then four people in the

1192
01:10:55,989 --> 01:10:58,551
little boxes and they're all saying the same thing. It's

1193
01:10:58,551 --> 01:11:01,753
like, couldn't you get one person that disagreed? I agree.

1194
01:11:02,634 --> 01:11:05,015
It's not fun. Nobody wants to hear agreement all the

1195
01:11:05,075 --> 01:11:08,738
time. No, it's not fun and it's not pleasant. That's

1196
01:11:08,758 --> 01:11:10,959
why I rarely watch any of them, but I do

1197
01:11:11,079 --> 01:11:13,121
enjoy the Fox thing because it seems like it's always

1198
01:11:13,121 --> 01:11:17,624
hot-looking women with great legs and high heels sitting in

1199
01:11:17,704 --> 01:11:21,066
chairs where they have to cross their legs. CNN is

1200
01:11:21,126 --> 01:11:24,768
like, no, it's depressing, really. It's like some academic crap.

1201
01:11:25,449 --> 01:11:27,470
Yeah, Fox figured out that one a long time ago.

1202
01:11:27,970 --> 01:11:34,235
They did. Active women will bring the demographic that we

1203
01:11:34,335 --> 01:11:37,417
want in. Yeah, and I think Brooke Baldwin is at

1204
01:11:37,817 --> 01:11:39,818
the front of that class. And was it a book

1205
01:11:39,878 --> 01:11:42,960
she came out with, an article? Recently I read something

1206
01:11:43,020 --> 01:11:46,102
she had said about how much she loved sex and

1207
01:11:46,283 --> 01:11:49,625
different kinds. And I thought, wow, you know. Welcome to

1208
01:11:49,625 --> 01:11:53,648
Fox News. Exactly. Thank you, Brooke. Now you've got a

1209
01:11:53,748 --> 01:11:57,170
clip here on Sunday at church? Yeah, I thought because

1210
01:11:57,270 --> 01:12:00,492
it's a Sunday show, you know, and I kind of

1211
01:12:00,632 --> 01:12:06,856
stumbled. on this one. And, you know, insanity crosses every

1212
01:12:06,936 --> 01:12:10,579
boundary and every vocation, every profession, you know, and you

1213
01:12:10,639 --> 01:12:15,402
never know where you'll encounter them. And what made me

1214
01:12:15,482 --> 01:12:17,804
think of this is years ago, before my wife and

1215
01:12:17,824 --> 01:12:19,905
I were married, we both had apartments in the west

1216
01:12:19,945 --> 01:12:21,746
side of New York. And we went to this church,

1217
01:12:21,806 --> 01:12:25,369
I forget the name of it. And goddamn, Darren, it

1218
01:12:25,429 --> 01:12:30,032
was pre-smartphone days. I think we were still on pagers

1219
01:12:30,112 --> 01:12:33,954
back then. Unfortunately, because we went to this mass, like

1220
01:12:34,014 --> 01:12:37,197
a regular Sunday mass walk-in, you know, pretty good-sized crowd,

1221
01:12:37,197 --> 01:12:40,078
and there were several hundred people, and this priest, who

1222
01:12:40,138 --> 01:12:44,221
was, like, you know, very gay, started his sermon, and

1223
01:12:44,261 --> 01:12:49,365
the sermon was, Jesus is my lover. Ha! And over

1224
01:12:49,385 --> 01:12:52,266
the course of his homily, which probably ran, I don't

1225
01:12:52,287 --> 01:12:55,429
know, seven or ten minutes or something like that, he

1226
01:12:55,429 --> 01:12:58,170
never got graphic, but he described sort of the things

1227
01:12:58,190 --> 01:13:00,572
he wanted to do with the King of Kings. This

1228
01:13:00,632 --> 01:13:03,634
was a Catholic church in New York. This was a

1229
01:13:03,734 --> 01:13:07,797
Roman Catholic church. And I remember thinking, oh, yeah, and

1230
01:13:07,817 --> 01:13:10,879
I remember back in my apartment, I had a VHS

1231
01:13:10,979 --> 01:13:13,981
camera. And I thought, could I possibly sprint back there

1232
01:13:14,181 --> 01:13:19,525
fast enough to grab that cinder block, this because it

1233
01:13:19,565 --> 01:13:23,527
was absolute. And I remember looking around with my wife

1234
01:13:23,587 --> 01:13:27,890
and just my girlfriend. The jaws on people, their jaws

1235
01:13:27,930 --> 01:13:29,952
were on their chest. I mean, it was like a

1236
01:13:29,952 --> 01:13:33,254
comedy bit. It was beyond belief. So anyway. Was this

1237
01:13:33,274 --> 01:13:36,216
guy not vetted? I mean, you came up with the

1238
01:13:36,276 --> 01:13:40,018
term the corporate God providers. Corporate God providers, yeah. Vet

1239
01:13:40,098 --> 01:13:42,320
this guy? I don't know. I never went back to

1240
01:13:42,380 --> 01:13:45,062
that church. It was a really bizarre experience, you know.

1241
01:13:45,902 --> 01:13:48,484
And then I stumbled on this. This is a guy

1242
01:13:48,684 --> 01:13:55,028
from somewhere in Oklahoma. His name like Preacher Smidridge or

1243
01:13:55,068 --> 01:13:58,871
something, I don't know. And listen to what this cat's

1244
01:13:58,891 --> 01:14:01,032
doing. When he's smart speaking, know that, I just want

1245
01:14:01,072 --> 01:14:03,974
to give you the visual setup. He starts at the

1246
01:14:04,555 --> 01:14:07,276
podium, you know, up on the altar. And it's like,

1247
01:14:07,336 --> 01:14:09,758
I think it's a Baptist or it's not a Catholic

1248
01:14:09,818 --> 01:14:14,301
church. And he's obviously pretty ticked off at the start

1249
01:14:14,361 --> 01:14:17,203
of it. And he very quickly steps down into the

1250
01:14:17,343 --> 01:14:20,085
audience and gets right in people's faces, as he says.

1251
01:14:20,105 --> 01:14:21,186
So it's not like, I want you to know, he's

1252
01:14:21,206 --> 01:14:25,048
not like talking about people in ether. They're there. They're

1253
01:14:25,068 --> 01:14:28,250
close. They're right there. They're close. Yeah. Don't go to

1254
01:14:28,250 --> 01:14:31,312
sleep while I'm talking. Hey, hey, hey. Don't you lay

1255
01:14:31,352 --> 01:14:36,216
your head back. I'm important. I'm somebody. Now you might

1256
01:14:36,256 --> 01:14:38,637
do your English teacher that way, but I'm not teaching

1257
01:14:38,697 --> 01:14:41,079
English. I'm teaching eternal life here. I love you. You

1258
01:14:41,139 --> 01:14:42,720
know I love you. Have I convinced you I love

1259
01:14:42,740 --> 01:14:46,062
you? Yeah. You better nod your head yes. All right.

1260
01:14:46,162 --> 01:14:48,444
Come on. Put it out there. All right, you stay

1261
01:14:48,504 --> 01:14:51,486
awake and you listen to me. You say, well, he

1262
01:14:51,546 --> 01:14:56,669
may never come back. Well, he ain't here now. And

1263
01:14:56,689 --> 01:15:00,292
where have you been, Mr. Underwood? And I noticed on

1264
01:15:00,352 --> 01:15:02,293
the calendar I'm supposed to marry y'all. What makes you

1265
01:15:02,353 --> 01:15:05,635
think I'd marry you? You're one of the sorriest church

1266
01:15:05,695 --> 01:15:09,418
members I have. Wow. You're not worth 15 cents. Ha

1267
01:15:09,458 --> 01:15:13,140
ha! And you want me to marry you to her?

1268
01:15:14,021 --> 01:15:15,922
And you want to marry him? And he don't even

1269
01:15:15,962 --> 01:15:17,883
know where he belongs? And you don't even know where

1270
01:15:17,923 --> 01:15:20,625
you belong? Now, let me tell you all, everybody here,

1271
01:15:20,825 --> 01:15:22,847
how much I love these kids. Do you know I

1272
01:15:22,947 --> 01:15:25,809
love you, sir? Stand up, big boy. Big boy. Do

1273
01:15:25,849 --> 01:15:29,951
you know I love you? All right. Yeah, he gives

1274
01:15:29,971 --> 01:15:32,093
him a bear hug. Wow, this is a whole different

1275
01:15:32,133 --> 01:15:34,394
kind of church. Isn't that crazy? You're not worth 15

1276
01:15:34,474 --> 01:15:36,095
cents. Come here, let me show you how much I

1277
01:15:36,135 --> 01:15:40,398
love you. I mean, at least I'll give this guy,

1278
01:15:40,478 --> 01:15:44,261
he seems like he is... Worthy of at least holding

1279
01:15:44,321 --> 01:15:47,303
your attention while speaking, because I've had enough, you know,

1280
01:15:47,603 --> 01:15:52,847
in churches where everything is just so boring that you're

1281
01:15:52,907 --> 01:15:58,030
trying not to fall asleep. Yes, yes. Sometimes that's just

1282
01:15:58,130 --> 01:16:02,393
impossible. Sometimes nature takes over and there's absolutely nothing you

1283
01:16:02,473 --> 01:16:05,355
can do. Exactly. So you just sit back and enjoy

1284
01:16:05,435 --> 01:16:07,396
the ride. I got to tell you, he made the

1285
01:16:07,456 --> 01:16:09,037
guy stand up so he could hug him. And I'm

1286
01:16:09,037 --> 01:16:11,619
thinking, how's this going to end? I thought maybe there

1287
01:16:11,619 --> 01:16:13,520
might be a right cross to his jaw or something.

1288
01:16:13,620 --> 01:16:17,043
Well, I can see that, yeah. Of course you could.

1289
01:16:17,963 --> 01:16:22,006
You're living in a slightly different world right now. As

1290
01:16:22,066 --> 01:16:24,608
you said, people can snap at any given minute. You

1291
01:16:24,708 --> 01:16:28,150
never know what you're going to deal with. That is

1292
01:16:28,490 --> 01:16:34,014
the insanity of all of this. So I got to

1293
01:16:34,054 --> 01:16:36,376
get to the Mike Rowe clip. I like this guy.

1294
01:16:37,096 --> 01:16:40,758
He is good. He is good. This is, you know,

1295
01:16:41,359 --> 01:16:44,101
he's kind of spells out, you know, in his opinion.

1296
01:16:44,121 --> 01:16:46,402
It's a very valid opinion what he thinks is wrong

1297
01:16:47,583 --> 01:16:52,266
with Gen Z and millennial people. But there's an answer.

1298
01:16:52,286 --> 01:16:57,029
There's another side to his argument, which I'll give after

1299
01:16:57,069 --> 01:16:59,771
the clip. The question doesn't start with what are they

1300
01:16:59,891 --> 01:17:03,394
doing. It starts with what aren't they doing. They're not

1301
01:17:03,474 --> 01:17:07,836
volunteering at their local church. They're not in the Kiwanis

1302
01:17:07,936 --> 01:17:10,678
Club. They're not checking out the Rotarians or the Lions

1303
01:17:10,778 --> 01:17:13,580
Club. They're not in the Boy Scouts or SkillsUSA. They're

1304
01:17:13,580 --> 01:17:17,763
not contributing anything in their community. What are they doing?

1305
01:17:18,043 --> 01:17:23,467
On average, they're spending between 2,000 and 2,100 hours a

1306
01:17:23,547 --> 01:17:29,311
year on their screen. It is. We just haven't seen

1307
01:17:29,351 --> 01:17:33,053
the like of it before. How are they able to

1308
01:17:33,133 --> 01:17:36,375
survive? I can't paint with too broad a brush. Maybe

1309
01:17:36,455 --> 01:17:38,377
some of them are trust fund kids. Maybe some of

1310
01:17:38,377 --> 01:17:40,438
them have enough. A lot of it is money from

1311
01:17:40,558 --> 01:17:44,681
other generations. Sure. They just hate our generation, except when

1312
01:17:44,721 --> 01:17:47,763
we give them money. That's always okay. Yeah. It's always

1313
01:17:47,823 --> 01:17:50,285
okay when you get daddy's money. Then the boomers aren't

1314
01:17:50,305 --> 01:17:58,350
so bad. Right? Yeah. He's not wrong. a week, which

1315
01:17:58,430 --> 01:18:01,912
is really, that's kind of a full-time job with no

1316
01:18:02,012 --> 01:18:08,357
paycheck. Right? Yes. Yeah, it's beyond belief. So then there

1317
01:18:08,357 --> 01:18:11,619
was this story that I tripped over that is kind

1318
01:18:11,639 --> 01:18:15,181
of the other side of that. And maybe next time

1319
01:18:15,201 --> 01:18:18,463
we'll ask Adam. Didn't Adam for a while, did he

1320
01:18:18,523 --> 01:18:20,365
put his smartphone aside and he was using like a

1321
01:18:20,445 --> 01:18:23,647
flip phone? Yeah, I think he still uses that as

1322
01:18:24,167 --> 01:18:26,669
a main phone. And I saw an article in one

1323
01:18:26,769 --> 01:18:30,011
of the tech publications. I don't remember if it was

1324
01:18:30,151 --> 01:18:32,633
Wired or The Verge. One of those. There's like four

1325
01:18:32,713 --> 01:18:37,616
different companies now. that are making dumbed down phones and

1326
01:18:37,956 --> 01:18:40,898
the two or three were flipped. Yeah, well, there's what

1327
01:18:40,958 --> 01:18:43,800
the story says. There's a woman, you know, they interviewed

1328
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,522
this woman named Kendall something, and she remembers the moment

1329
01:18:46,522 --> 01:18:48,944
she swapped her smartphone for a flip phone. She said,

1330
01:18:49,024 --> 01:18:52,906
quote, for me, the second that my iPhone was gone,

1331
01:18:53,006 --> 01:18:55,388
it was just like heaven on earth. She's a 23-year-old

1332
01:18:55,448 --> 01:18:59,070
Washington, D.C. resident. This is with CBS News. And it

1333
01:18:59,070 --> 01:19:02,132
says she's among a growing number of young people. Okay,

1334
01:19:02,593 --> 01:19:04,474
I don't like my smartphone. I was thinking of doing

1335
01:19:04,494 --> 01:19:07,776
what Adam did. Young people are ditching their smartphones in

1336
01:19:07,856 --> 01:19:11,339
favor of stripped-down dumb phones. in an effort to unplug

1337
01:19:11,419 --> 01:19:15,361
from social media, etc., etc. Some feel nostalgic for an

1338
01:19:15,441 --> 01:19:18,623
era they never knew before the advent of mobile devices.

1339
01:19:18,643 --> 01:19:21,545
So then what Mike said is buttressed by the American

1340
01:19:21,585 --> 01:19:25,468
Psychological Association, which showed that U.S. teens spending nearly five

1341
01:19:25,488 --> 01:19:29,471
hours a day on social media. And yeah, you're right.

1342
01:19:29,491 --> 01:19:32,012
This chick got her flip phone from Dumb.co. Have you

1343
01:19:32,072 --> 01:19:34,134
heard of that one? No, but that's a great company

1344
01:19:34,274 --> 01:19:37,316
name. Isn't that good? Dumb.co, a startup that sells devices

1345
01:19:37,376 --> 01:19:40,918
loaded with practical tools like Uber Maps, and Spotify but

1346
01:19:40,978 --> 01:19:44,441
no social media and this dump out dumb co says

1347
01:19:44,641 --> 01:19:48,603
it's got more than 5,000 active users and it's now

1348
01:19:48,663 --> 01:19:51,225
this is the you know this book this deserves fanfare

1349
01:19:51,605 --> 01:19:55,788
it's typical customer is a 24 year old woman how

1350
01:19:55,788 --> 01:19:58,750
about that They really want to be forced to be

1351
01:19:58,830 --> 01:19:59,991
off social media because you

1352
01:20:00,084 --> 01:20:03,186
Oh, you don't have to install the app. That's true.

1353
01:20:03,746 --> 01:20:06,188
That's very true. But I guess it's easier when people,

1354
01:20:06,208 --> 01:20:09,110
you know, because then you would have your friends pressuring

1355
01:20:09,150 --> 01:20:10,831
you like, why aren't you on here? I don't know

1356
01:20:10,891 --> 01:20:15,775
my phone. It doesn't work. Because you can't just, you

1357
01:20:15,835 --> 01:20:19,157
can't take it off on your own. And these, some

1358
01:20:19,197 --> 01:20:22,279
of these phones will allow you to have the messaging

1359
01:20:22,459 --> 01:20:24,921
apps. So if you want to use something like Signal

1360
01:20:25,001 --> 01:20:28,243
or Telegram, they'll allow that. But then they don't allow,

1361
01:20:28,283 --> 01:20:30,865
although you could probably hack it. I mean, all these

1362
01:20:30,905 --> 01:20:33,807
things are hackable. But they allegedly don't allow Facebook and

1363
01:20:33,887 --> 01:20:38,370
Instagram and all of the social media. Because the social

1364
01:20:38,530 --> 01:20:42,893
media... is where people start going down those rabbit holes

1365
01:20:42,953 --> 01:20:47,256
that are not beneficial. No. I mean, again, I know.

1366
01:20:47,376 --> 01:20:49,377
We're the old guys. We're the boomers. When we were

1367
01:20:49,437 --> 01:20:51,679
kids, we used to hop on our bike and go

1368
01:20:51,739 --> 01:20:55,301
to a friend's house without even calling first, knock on

1369
01:20:55,361 --> 01:20:58,403
the door, be like, hey, is Jimmy home? That's right.

1370
01:20:59,224 --> 01:21:01,145
And if not, you'd go further down the street and

1371
01:21:01,145 --> 01:21:03,286
be like, hey, is Jack home? You know, I mean,

1372
01:21:03,366 --> 01:21:06,168
this is looking for something to do. Or you went

1373
01:21:06,208 --> 01:21:09,971
to the park or wherever people hung out. The fact

1374
01:21:09,991 --> 01:21:13,313
that kids just sit at home in their air-conditioned house

1375
01:21:13,433 --> 01:21:16,515
and play on their smartphone without talking to another human

1376
01:21:16,595 --> 01:21:20,878
being while possibly being, you know, groomed by somebody in

1377
01:21:20,978 --> 01:21:27,563
another country, it's... this is very strange. world. But with

1378
01:21:27,623 --> 01:21:31,305
that said, I think it's very scary what's going on

1379
01:21:32,026 --> 01:21:34,627
with what some of these states are doing. There's a

1380
01:21:34,868 --> 01:21:38,030
new meta. thing that came out not a new thing

1381
01:21:38,190 --> 01:21:42,533
a new judgment against meta oh how much money this

1382
01:21:42,613 --> 01:21:47,876
time another 567 million dollars that's a that's a pretty

1383
01:21:47,916 --> 01:21:53,120
big number i mean that's like a day yeah you're

1384
01:21:53,140 --> 01:21:55,261
right what am i saying but in honor of jcd

1385
01:21:55,401 --> 01:21:57,963
it's an ntd clip i'm like i've never pulled an

1386
01:21:58,043 --> 01:22:00,585
ntd clip before i'd never even run across one so

1387
01:22:00,645 --> 01:22:03,307
i figured once i saw this it was a sign

1388
01:22:04,367 --> 01:22:07,950
New legal pressures mounting on Meta over the impact of

1389
01:22:08,030 --> 01:22:11,212
social media on children. A New Mexico judge ordering the

1390
01:22:11,232 --> 01:22:15,855
company to pay $567 million in overhaul safety features on

1391
01:22:16,015 --> 01:22:20,278
Facebook and Instagram for young users in the state. The

1392
01:22:20,318 --> 01:22:24,161
judge ruled Meta's platforms contributed to harms to children's mental

1393
01:22:24,281 --> 01:22:29,044
health and failed to adequately protect minors from sexual exploitation.

1394
01:22:29,084 --> 01:22:32,787
The order includes limits on teens' use of Facebook and

1395
01:22:32,867 --> 01:22:36,829
Instagram, tighter controls on contact between adults and minors, and

1396
01:22:36,869 --> 01:22:40,452
new safeguards for AI chatbots. The New Mexico ruling comes

1397
01:22:40,592 --> 01:22:44,514
on top of the $375 million in civil penalties a

1398
01:22:44,594 --> 01:22:51,039
jury ordered against Meta earlier this year, the case to

1399
01:22:51,119 --> 01:22:55,682
$942 million, a small fraction of its annual profit, which

1400
01:22:55,682 --> 01:22:59,885
was about $60 billion in 2025. Meta says it plans

1401
01:22:59,925 --> 01:23:03,507
to appeal, maintaining it's confident in its record of protecting

1402
01:23:03,567 --> 01:23:06,909
teens online and has been working on identifying and removing

1403
01:23:06,929 --> 01:23:10,592
harmful content from its platforms. Now the case is being

1404
01:23:10,632 --> 01:23:13,574
closely watched as states and school districts across the country

1405
01:23:13,934 --> 01:23:18,237
pursue similar lawsuits against social media companies. Yes, one, somebody

1406
01:23:18,317 --> 01:23:22,360
needs to nationalize. So the individual states can't, this is

1407
01:23:22,540 --> 01:23:26,983
never going to bring anything good. And they're ignoring the

1408
01:23:27,063 --> 01:23:30,966
fact that the internet is inherently dangerous. It's like a

1409
01:23:31,026 --> 01:23:34,648
car. Yes, yes, yes. If you're going to put your

1410
01:23:34,688 --> 01:23:37,170
child behind the wheel of a car, there's a chance

1411
01:23:37,190 --> 01:23:40,192
they're going to get into an accident and get injured

1412
01:23:40,452 --> 01:23:43,874
or worse. The only way to keep your child from

1413
01:23:43,934 --> 01:23:46,136
getting into a car accident with them driving is to

1414
01:23:46,236 --> 01:23:50,138
keep them from driving the car. until they are ready

1415
01:23:50,739 --> 01:23:54,581
to do so. This concept that, you know, oh, we're

1416
01:23:54,581 --> 01:23:58,924
going to have... Facebook or any of these social media

1417
01:23:59,024 --> 01:24:02,727
companies being in charge of how many hours your kid

1418
01:24:02,887 --> 01:24:04,788
sits on the internet? Wouldn't it be better if that

1419
01:24:04,808 --> 01:24:07,590
was the parent doing that? Sure, but aren't they doing

1420
01:24:07,630 --> 01:24:11,713
that already in China? Yes. And this is the rub

1421
01:24:11,793 --> 01:24:15,856
that a lot of the people in the United States

1422
01:24:16,036 --> 01:24:20,639
are missing. Which is, it's always, you know, it's for

1423
01:24:20,699 --> 01:24:24,862
the safety. It's always for the children. But the end

1424
01:24:24,962 --> 01:24:29,325
result is always... Oh, well, for this to work, every

1425
01:24:29,405 --> 01:24:31,446
adult that's on the Internet, well, you're going to need

1426
01:24:31,546 --> 01:24:33,468
an ID and you're going to have to sign on

1427
01:24:33,548 --> 01:24:37,430
and we're going to have to know everything you do.

1428
01:24:37,490 --> 01:24:41,453
But this is the clip from the attorney general in

1429
01:24:41,493 --> 01:24:44,995
New Mexico, of course. And I'm sorry, I shouldn't say

1430
01:24:45,055 --> 01:24:47,917
of course in this case, because there's some Republican attorney

1431
01:24:47,977 --> 01:24:51,620
generals going after the exact same thing. So this shouldn't

1432
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,742
be politicized except to say that a lot of attorneys

1433
01:24:55,022 --> 01:25:00,025
general are, Idiots. Oh, yeah. So I just wanted to

1434
01:25:00,025 --> 01:25:02,787
give you a quick update on a major victory. Major

1435
01:25:02,847 --> 01:25:07,150
victory! Major victory. Scored against social media and specifically in

1436
01:25:07,210 --> 01:25:10,512
our case against Meta. Yesterday, a judge ordered that Meta

1437
01:25:10,593 --> 01:25:14,455
pay $567 million for the public nuisance and the harm

1438
01:25:14,495 --> 01:25:16,296
that they've caused to our kids. That's on top of

1439
01:25:16,717 --> 01:25:19,438
the public nuisance. This is one of the ways they're

1440
01:25:19,458 --> 01:25:23,661
going after him, that this is... Like you having an

1441
01:25:23,801 --> 01:25:27,264
old Chevy that causes too much noise after 8 p.m.

1442
01:25:27,364 --> 01:25:30,166
driving down there. It's a public nuisance, Larry. That's where

1443
01:25:30,606 --> 01:25:39,212
these meta and... It's infuriating. The complete lack of understanding.

1444
01:25:39,252 --> 01:25:43,715
And, you know, and again, oh, it's major, 567 million.

1445
01:25:43,735 --> 01:25:46,357
It's like, well, what is Meta make in an hour?

1446
01:25:46,497 --> 01:25:49,319
Yeah, 60 billion a year? That's not major to them.

1447
01:25:49,639 --> 01:25:53,902
No, no, it's a rounding error if you're lucky. So,

1448
01:25:54,322 --> 01:25:57,504
you know, put on your soothsayer's cap there, Darren. Where

1449
01:25:57,504 --> 01:25:59,926
do you see this? Because you've been yelling about this

1450
01:25:59,946 --> 01:26:04,269
for years, rightly so. Are they going to achieve their

1451
01:26:04,369 --> 01:26:06,070
goal? Are we all going to be having to do

1452
01:26:06,190 --> 01:26:09,152
selfies and sit there with our driver's license or whatever

1453
01:26:09,172 --> 01:26:11,313
the hell it is so we can get online? Or

1454
01:26:11,373 --> 01:26:13,355
what do you think? How's this going to go? Yeah,

1455
01:26:13,415 --> 01:26:14,996
if they get what they want, it is going to

1456
01:26:15,036 --> 01:26:17,738
be China, which is for you to log onto the

1457
01:26:17,818 --> 01:26:20,800
internet, you are going to have to prove who you

1458
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,961
are with an ID. You're probably going to have to

1459
01:26:23,101 --> 01:26:27,924
use your smartphone to take a photo of your driver's

1460
01:26:28,005 --> 01:26:30,906
license. And here in the U.S., on the back, you've

1461
01:26:30,946 --> 01:26:34,729
got the barcode. a picture of that to prove that

1462
01:26:34,789 --> 01:26:38,572
you are who you say you are while you're logged

1463
01:26:38,692 --> 01:26:40,773
in, which then again, now if you end up being

1464
01:26:40,833 --> 01:26:43,015
one of those parents that's like, I don't care if

1465
01:26:43,095 --> 01:26:45,897
my kid uses 8,000 hours, I'll just log them in

1466
01:26:46,037 --> 01:26:49,559
as me. It's never a penalty for the parents. It's

1467
01:26:49,779 --> 01:26:53,802
always going after money from the social media. So this

1468
01:26:53,902 --> 01:26:57,464
is not about protecting your children. This is only about

1469
01:26:57,484 --> 01:27:00,887
taking more money from the social media. Here in Illinois,

1470
01:27:01,347 --> 01:27:05,850
the corrupt politicians, J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson of

1471
01:27:05,910 --> 01:27:09,753
Chicago, they put laws into place that said, well, for

1472
01:27:09,873 --> 01:27:15,516
every person using your social media over 100,000, the city

1473
01:27:15,697 --> 01:27:18,158
owes you a 50 cent or the state, you know,

1474
01:27:18,258 --> 01:27:21,200
you owe us a 50 cent tax. So the state

1475
01:27:21,260 --> 01:27:23,582
of Illinois is like, well, you know, if we got

1476
01:27:23,602 --> 01:27:27,524
20 million people on X, well, then you owe us

1477
01:27:27,645 --> 01:27:31,187
10 million a month in a tax for us to

1478
01:27:31,287 --> 01:27:35,370
allow your social media to be, it's always about the

1479
01:27:35,430 --> 01:27:38,492
money. This is just a different way of going at

1480
01:27:38,512 --> 01:27:43,075
the money because they're going to make rules. and regulations

1481
01:27:43,495 --> 01:27:47,078
that parents should be in charge of. that the penalty

1482
01:27:47,158 --> 01:27:51,220
is only the social media companies pay more. But this

1483
01:27:51,260 --> 01:27:56,044
guy goes on here. That's on top of the $375

1484
01:27:56,104 --> 01:27:58,765
million judgment we got earlier in the year. That's almost

1485
01:27:58,805 --> 01:28:00,607
a billion dollars just for the state of New Mexico.

1486
01:28:00,987 --> 01:28:02,888
To put that in context, if the rest of the

1487
01:28:02,948 --> 01:28:05,410
country got the kind of judgment that we got yesterday,

1488
01:28:05,770 --> 01:28:08,972
it'd be $150 billion to Meta. Can you just hear?

1489
01:28:09,112 --> 01:28:11,274
It's like a wet dream to this guy. If only

1490
01:28:11,354 --> 01:28:18,599
every other state. that it's the it's the Massachusetts of

1491
01:28:18,619 --> 01:28:21,701
the Southwest and it wasn't always that way it used

1492
01:28:21,701 --> 01:28:23,622
to be a banging state it still has the most

1493
01:28:23,642 --> 01:28:28,525
beautiful you know sunsets geography mountains it's it's absolutely gorgeous

1494
01:28:29,186 --> 01:28:31,688
but it's been overrun by commie creeps and it's it's

1495
01:28:31,788 --> 01:28:34,229
become kind of a depressing place outside of you know

1496
01:28:34,429 --> 01:28:38,632
the natural topography it's it's sad yeah the sit there

1497
01:28:38,632 --> 01:28:40,754
and be like oh social media is too popular let's

1498
01:28:40,774 --> 01:28:43,716
see if we can monetize it yeah of course where

1499
01:28:43,756 --> 01:28:46,778
the real answer is keep the children off of devices

1500
01:28:46,878 --> 01:28:56,925
until they're of age, whatever that is. More importantly, however,

1501
01:28:57,345 --> 01:28:59,526
now they are ordered to change how they do business

1502
01:28:59,586 --> 01:29:02,028
in our state. This is a fight that's worth having.

1503
01:29:02,088 --> 01:29:04,810
This is something that I am passionate about, and we're

1504
01:29:04,850 --> 01:29:07,091
not done yet. We have a lot more left to

1505
01:29:07,151 --> 01:29:11,114
do, specifically updating our laws, our consumer protection laws and

1506
01:29:11,134 --> 01:29:13,816
our social media laws here in New Mexico to make

1507
01:29:13,876 --> 01:29:17,038
it absolutely clear that you can't endanger our kids, you

1508
01:29:17,118 --> 01:29:20,100
can't allow exploitation, and you've got to do a whole

1509
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:24,363
lot more to protect families and people, especially the most

1510
01:29:24,423 --> 01:29:27,085
vulnerable members of our community. This is an important victory

1511
01:29:27,145 --> 01:29:29,727
for us, first in the nation, first in the world.

1512
01:29:30,507 --> 01:29:32,228
We got a lot more left to do, so stay

1513
01:29:32,308 --> 01:29:35,931
tuned. Yeah, the amount of "rah-rah" is kind of disturbing.

1514
01:29:36,111 --> 01:29:39,373
Oh, God. And that phrase, "more work to do," that's

1515
01:29:39,393 --> 01:29:41,555
always a commie phrase. Have you noticed that? "In the

1516
01:29:41,575 --> 01:29:45,297
most vulnerable." It's always, oh, it's always, it's the people

1517
01:29:45,357 --> 01:29:47,198
that are having the biggest, you know, because, you know,

1518
01:29:47,639 --> 01:29:51,781
rich white kids, they're not having their children exploited on

1519
01:29:51,821 --> 01:29:54,903
the internet. No, it's always the most vulnerable. Yeah, oh

1520
01:29:55,304 --> 01:29:58,326
yeah. Yeah, yeah. I don't buy it. Don't buy it

1521
01:29:58,346 --> 01:29:58,866
for a minute.

1522
01:30:00,060 --> 01:30:05,004
And parenting just has to be parenting. And these devices,

1523
01:30:05,044 --> 01:30:09,087
I mean the concept is insane because anybody with logic

1524
01:30:09,147 --> 01:30:11,649
can sit in a room. Even people that are not

1525
01:30:11,729 --> 01:30:15,232
dudes named Ben. People who don't have any concept of

1526
01:30:15,292 --> 01:30:19,375
how any of these systems work, you would understand. that

1527
01:30:19,575 --> 01:30:22,938
well if a bunch of people are communicating online you're

1528
01:30:23,078 --> 01:30:27,161
not going to be able to separate them into different

1529
01:30:27,161 --> 01:30:29,743
categories because if you're like well no only people that

1530
01:30:29,903 --> 01:30:32,645
are uh that are signed up as children under the

1531
01:30:32,685 --> 01:30:35,627
age of 16 can talk in this group because yeah

1532
01:30:35,787 --> 01:30:37,829
no adult is going to figure out how to sign

1533
01:30:37,989 --> 01:30:41,932
up as no especially when kids in the united states

1534
01:30:41,972 --> 01:30:44,614
you don't have an id until you're getting your driver's

1535
01:30:44,674 --> 01:30:47,556
license maybe i guess you have a social security card

1536
01:30:47,657 --> 01:30:50,158
but well not in california if you want to get

1537
01:30:50,198 --> 01:30:52,480
medical attention you have an id at 12 and your

1538
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:57,064
parents can't look at it Multiple boots on the ground

1539
01:30:57,164 --> 01:30:59,265
from your clip, which I was like this can't even

1540
01:30:59,385 --> 01:31:03,529
be real in California It's real it is more than

1541
01:31:03,629 --> 01:31:06,971
real it's happening in Illinois as well because California and

1542
01:31:07,011 --> 01:31:10,334
Illinois are kind of like Mirrors when it comes to

1543
01:31:10,434 --> 01:31:14,277
the law. Oh, yeah and parents saying I cannot get

1544
01:31:14,317 --> 01:31:19,981
my child's medical records Without their approval at 12 years

1545
01:31:20,101 --> 01:31:24,445
old and you walk into the doctor's office And they

1546
01:31:24,505 --> 01:31:27,647
don't go, well, do you want your parent to be

1547
01:31:27,747 --> 01:31:29,268
here with you? It's like, no, the doctor, you don't

1548
01:31:29,308 --> 01:31:33,211
get that choice. Like, sorry, but this is the world

1549
01:31:33,251 --> 01:31:36,074
we live in. Well, this is the commie world that

1550
01:31:36,134 --> 01:31:38,515
we live in. This is commie canon. And it goes

1551
01:31:38,575 --> 01:31:40,397
back a long, I mean, it goes back a long,

1552
01:31:40,437 --> 01:31:46,522
long way. And if you think about it, Hillary wrote

1553
01:31:46,562 --> 01:31:50,545
a very successful book called It Takes a Village, right?

1554
01:31:50,705 --> 01:31:54,688
And that's exactly what it is. The village is going

1555
01:31:54,708 --> 01:31:56,910
to raise your kid. You really will try calling the

1556
01:31:56,970 --> 01:32:00,132
village when your kid's projectile vomiting at 3 a.m. They

1557
01:32:00,192 --> 01:32:03,414
don't pick up. No, you know, it's complete crap. It's

1558
01:32:03,475 --> 01:32:07,378
the state ruling everything. And Gavin, you know, Gavin Newsom

1559
01:32:07,458 --> 01:32:10,640
and all those dirtbags in California, man, they need to

1560
01:32:10,660 --> 01:32:12,882
be put in a rocket and then fired into the

1561
01:32:12,962 --> 01:32:17,465
sun, really, because they're just raw, evil, evil people, really.

1562
01:32:18,126 --> 01:32:20,588
But I mean, I know we go back to it

1563
01:32:20,588 --> 01:32:23,750
a lot, but this is literally what these social list

1564
01:32:23,850 --> 01:32:27,293
in communist regimes did. They go after the children. Oh,

1565
01:32:27,838 --> 01:32:30,520
They indoctrinate the children and this is because then your

1566
01:32:30,580 --> 01:32:33,962
children start coming home like, "Oh yes, mom and dad,

1567
01:32:34,002 --> 01:32:37,545
you're problematic. "You're way of thinking." So I told, I

1568
01:32:37,665 --> 01:32:42,488
told Governor Newsom what you were thinking of doing. Homeschooling

1569
01:32:42,548 --> 01:32:45,870
me, ha ha, they're taking me away. They're gonna put

1570
01:32:45,890 --> 01:32:49,913
me in a nice camp somewhere. This is why you

1571
01:32:49,973 --> 01:32:52,875
need people to stand up and make their voices heard.

1572
01:32:54,516 --> 01:32:57,878
One guy that did that, our buddy Scott Lobito. Anybody

1573
01:32:57,938 --> 01:33:00,720
that's been listening to Planet Rage has heard Scott's voice

1574
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:04,082
more than once, and I know. I wish we had

1575
01:33:04,182 --> 01:33:07,084
Bing It IO like we do for this show for

1576
01:33:07,164 --> 01:33:10,006
Planet Rage because you could do a search for anything

1577
01:33:10,347 --> 01:33:12,848
that Adam and John have talked about over the years.

1578
01:33:13,929 --> 01:33:17,451
But I know you and I on a few occasions

1579
01:33:17,691 --> 01:33:21,194
while watching one of Scott's videos said, this guy's close

1580
01:33:21,234 --> 01:33:24,716
to a heart attack, man. We did that several times.

1581
01:33:24,736 --> 01:33:27,038
You are correct. And then he had one because, I

1582
01:33:27,178 --> 01:33:30,020
mean, when we were doing Planet Rage, which was kind

1583
01:33:30,100 --> 01:33:34,342
of like No Agenda with more swearing, and playing up

1584
01:33:34,463 --> 01:33:36,524
the anger bit. I mean, we're still mad about this

1585
01:33:36,544 --> 01:33:41,527
stuff, but it's playing it up for the entertainment value.

1586
01:33:42,988 --> 01:33:45,030
I mean, overall, I think when you and I stop

1587
01:33:45,150 --> 01:33:48,452
doing the show, when the end of that period of

1588
01:33:48,492 --> 01:33:52,394
the day, we go off and have fun. Always. We

1589
01:33:52,895 --> 01:33:55,316
listen to music and we enjoy what we're doing. Scott,

1590
01:33:55,376 --> 01:33:57,838
I think, has been pissed off for a long time.

1591
01:33:57,838 --> 01:34:02,861
You know, I had kind of an epiphany just before

1592
01:34:02,861 --> 01:34:07,545
I sent you this clip. about Scott. And he, I

1593
01:34:07,685 --> 01:34:11,007
mean, he's... The interesting thing about him, he's definitely a

1594
01:34:11,067 --> 01:34:13,929
right winger. His head's in the right place. I love

1595
01:34:14,029 --> 01:34:19,232
his salty language. He reminds me more of Sinatra speaking-wise

1596
01:34:19,312 --> 01:34:24,876
than anybody I've ever heard. Yes, yes, absolutely. And Scott,

1597
01:34:25,336 --> 01:34:29,399
unlike most right wingers, certainly myself included, I think I'm

1598
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:32,661
kind of typical because for the most part, actually, I

1599
01:34:32,681 --> 01:34:34,843
never voted until I had kids. That's the only time

1600
01:34:34,883 --> 01:34:37,585
I started caring. But I knew it was going on.

1601
01:34:38,325 --> 01:34:39,586
But still, what do we want to do? Well, you

1602
01:34:39,606 --> 01:34:41,347
know, it's like life is good. I'm going to go

1603
01:34:41,447 --> 01:34:44,269
see Billy Idol and then, you know, maybe I'll go

1604
01:34:44,309 --> 01:34:46,410
to the beach and, you know, play with moose for

1605
01:34:46,470 --> 01:34:51,033
a while. Politics is not the focal point of my

1606
01:34:51,114 --> 01:34:56,817
existence. But for most lefties, like Bernie, like Newscum, like

1607
01:34:56,837 --> 01:35:00,960
AOC, it is a religion. They are ideologues. It never

1608
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:04,983
leaves their minds. And Scott, in that way, he kind

1609
01:35:05,083 --> 01:35:08,345
of operates like they do. Because he never unwound, I

1610
01:35:08,445 --> 01:35:10,426
think. You know what I mean? He seemed like he

1611
01:35:10,486 --> 01:35:13,388
was always ready for combat. And it finally caught up

1612
01:35:13,448 --> 01:35:14,989
with his aorta, I guess. I think he had a

1613
01:35:15,009 --> 01:35:18,612
double bite, but whatever. Something very serious, you know. But

1614
01:35:18,612 --> 01:35:22,354
he's an interesting character. He flatlined for two minutes. Yeah.

1615
01:35:22,775 --> 01:35:25,676
Ouch. I do want to point out to people, Larry

1616
01:35:25,717 --> 01:35:28,158
is not like a northern exposure, out in the woods

1617
01:35:28,218 --> 01:35:30,760
kind of guy. Moose is a very little white puppy.

1618
01:35:32,741 --> 01:35:35,703
Yes. Moose is 13 pounds of, he's more like a

1619
01:35:35,723 --> 01:35:37,564
bull of a deer. He just wants to hang around

1620
01:35:37,604 --> 01:35:41,247
and eat escargot and drink fine wine. People were imagining

1621
01:35:41,307 --> 01:35:42,728
a much different thing where you're like, I go out,

1622
01:35:42,788 --> 01:35:45,750
I play with Moose. They're like, whoa, this guy's real.

1623
01:35:46,670 --> 01:35:50,633
Oh, no, no. Moose is a lap dog, 100%. And

1624
01:35:50,673 --> 01:35:53,255
he brings the ladies in. That's the only reason to

1625
01:35:53,295 --> 01:35:56,417
get a cute little white dog. He does, yeah. Is

1626
01:35:56,417 --> 01:35:59,539
there any other setup on this libido clip? No, what

1627
01:35:59,579 --> 01:36:03,902
Scott is, like I said, he's so hardcore, Darren, that

1628
01:36:03,922 --> 01:36:08,065
I think he had his cardiac epithelium like four days

1629
01:36:08,185 --> 01:36:11,867
ago And then he, within I think the first or

1630
01:36:12,267 --> 01:36:15,209
second day, he had a video of himself in his

1631
01:36:15,309 --> 01:36:17,851
hospital bed. And he's got, you know, he's got IVs

1632
01:36:17,911 --> 01:36:20,833
going into him and bandages and it's very serious stuff.

1633
01:36:21,814 --> 01:36:25,216
But he did a video saying, you know, I'm not

1634
01:36:25,276 --> 01:36:28,018
done. I'm still in. Stay with me. I'm getting out

1635
01:36:28,058 --> 01:36:30,059
of here very soon. I mean, he's a force of

1636
01:36:30,119 --> 01:36:35,303
nature. There's no question about that. And then this clip

1637
01:36:35,423 --> 01:36:39,466
really demonstrates that because the guy's arranging things from his

1638
01:36:39,506 --> 01:36:42,868
hospital bed. He's got his own Air Force. Listen to

1639
01:36:42,868 --> 01:36:45,369
this clip. It's like he literally can't even slow down

1640
01:36:45,450 --> 01:36:49,492
for a minute. No. No. Yeah. Scott Lobedo organized a

1641
01:36:49,552 --> 01:36:53,335
protest, America's Artist, against Zorhan Mondani, and they blew them

1642
01:36:53,475 --> 01:36:57,337
off. Scott had a confrontation, actually had a heart attack,

1643
01:36:57,397 --> 01:37:00,660
almost died. But today, we're just getting this video in,

1644
01:37:00,780 --> 01:37:05,303
first year on Newsmax. Scott Lobedo apparently chartered a plane

1645
01:37:05,663 --> 01:37:10,246
from his hospital bed, and he's flying this banner over

1646
01:37:10,286 --> 01:37:15,049
New York City with a direct message to Zorhan Mondani.

1647
01:37:15,550 --> 01:37:18,832
And the guy was almost dead. You see this flying

1648
01:37:19,372 --> 01:37:22,114
up and down New York City. This is actually a

1649
01:37:22,174 --> 01:37:26,737
live view right now, first on Newsmax. Mondani, stay away

1650
01:37:27,197 --> 01:37:29,659
from ground zero. And I don't think you could be

1651
01:37:29,759 --> 01:37:33,802
any more clear than that. Shocked a guy who just

1652
01:37:33,882 --> 01:37:36,804
had open heart surgery, took the time, but I guess

1653
01:37:36,844 --> 01:37:39,606
he wants Mondani to know that the booming's not gonna

1654
01:37:39,646 --> 01:37:44,529
stop. New York City's getting a clear message from Staten

1655
01:37:44,609 --> 01:37:49,412
Islanders led by Scott Libato. Pretty cool, right? Yeah, that's

1656
01:37:49,492 --> 01:37:53,915
the commitment to the craft. Exactly. I mean, exactly. That

1657
01:37:53,995 --> 01:37:57,377
guy is a true believer, and wow. I salute him.

1658
01:37:57,738 --> 01:38:00,860
And I saw the clip. Ma'am Donnie was booed offstage.

1659
01:38:00,940 --> 01:38:03,201
I think it was mainly by a police audience, was

1660
01:38:03,301 --> 01:38:07,064
it, in New York? Yeah, I guess it was. I'm

1661
01:38:07,144 --> 01:38:09,686
sure if he had his homies there, they'd have drowned

1662
01:38:09,786 --> 01:38:13,908
out the police, because he's very popular with them. And

1663
01:38:13,928 --> 01:38:17,231
then Elizabeth Warren was booed for saying something. Oh, good.

1664
01:38:17,851 --> 01:38:20,753
Maybe people are waking up a little bit more. Maybe.

1665
01:38:20,873 --> 01:38:23,935
Because she made a comment somewhere, and she was sitting

1666
01:38:24,015 --> 01:38:25,756
on a panel because she was sitting there with the

1667
01:38:25,776 --> 01:38:28,638
little microphone and her name in front of her. And

1668
01:38:28,678 --> 01:38:31,700
she actually said that she's been tough on the border,

1669
01:38:31,980 --> 01:38:36,083
and people just started laughing. Oh, my God. You can't

1670
01:38:36,163 --> 01:38:38,004
make this stuff up. It's like, I don't know if

1671
01:38:38,064 --> 01:38:42,427
these people are delusional. Or what? It's like, but you

1672
01:38:42,507 --> 01:38:45,910
are not tough on the border, madam. I mean, you're

1673
01:38:45,950 --> 01:38:48,091
welcome to your point of view if you want open

1674
01:38:48,211 --> 01:38:53,475
borders, but this is where people really start jumping into

1675
01:38:53,555 --> 01:38:56,437
that dimension B. Maybe she wants people to think now

1676
01:38:56,497 --> 01:38:58,458
that she's been tough on the borders and the AI.

1677
01:38:58,878 --> 01:39:04,242
Well, she said she was tough on the borders. just

1678
01:39:04,522 --> 01:39:08,985
literal insanity and people always complain when they're hearing this

1679
01:39:09,045 --> 01:39:11,327
kind of stuff and like like you just said you

1680
01:39:11,527 --> 01:39:14,929
lean right wing it's like i lean right wing but

1681
01:39:15,189 --> 01:39:18,912
i will tell you that the Republicans are not perfect

1682
01:39:18,992 --> 01:39:20,473
and there are things that are going wrong and it

1683
01:39:20,513 --> 01:39:24,475
doesn't affect the ability to understand the crap that you're

1684
01:39:24,495 --> 01:39:29,419
being fed. Yeah. And if I could find it. I

1685
01:39:29,499 --> 01:39:34,702
would bring you all of the right-wing drivel that is

1686
01:39:35,082 --> 01:39:37,324
meeting the level of the left, but I can't. So,

1687
01:39:37,324 --> 01:39:40,246
I mean, I will challenge any of those people that

1688
01:39:40,266 --> 01:39:43,168
are like, oh, no, all of these, everybody, the right-wing

1689
01:39:43,248 --> 01:39:45,529
does the same thing. Well, send in those clips. I

1690
01:39:45,589 --> 01:39:49,592
would love. Yeah. to see them that are the equivalent

1691
01:39:49,952 --> 01:39:52,354
of, you know, Donald Trump can't even make a complete

1692
01:39:52,414 --> 01:39:53,915
sentence and they cut to the video of the guy

1693
01:39:53,975 --> 01:39:59,759
like doing Shakespeare and it's like. That's not the result.

1694
01:40:00,232 --> 01:40:04,815
Thune and Murkowski, but yeah. And I got to know

1695
01:40:04,855 --> 01:40:07,697
what this next clip you got here is about sunscreen

1696
01:40:07,857 --> 01:40:12,340
and the COVID vax. Is this like literally second half

1697
01:40:12,440 --> 01:40:15,622
of show kind of things? I don't know. I mean,

1698
01:40:15,682 --> 01:40:20,846
it's just, again, I tripped over this one. And it's,

1699
01:40:21,466 --> 01:40:24,408
who's that congressman? You'll recognize his voice, the guy's name.

1700
01:40:24,969 --> 01:40:28,151
He's very articulate, smooth. But he said, hey, just play

1701
01:40:28,171 --> 01:40:31,333
the clip. Have I been lied to as a Florida

1702
01:40:31,373 --> 01:40:35,516
man about sunscreen protecting me from cancer? Yes, it appears

1703
01:40:35,576 --> 01:40:39,278
we've all been lied to. Unfortunately, this massive study of

1704
01:40:39,398 --> 01:40:45,402
over 470,000 people confirms it. It's very worrisome that when

1705
01:40:45,462 --> 01:40:50,646
they compared sunscreen users to non-sunscreen users, the sunscreen users

1706
01:40:50,746 --> 01:40:55,529
faced increased risks of all the major skin cancers, melanoma,

1707
01:40:56,229 --> 01:41:05,636
squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. evasive melanoma was

1708
01:41:05,756 --> 01:41:11,419
300% higher risk in the sunscreen users. They accounted for

1709
01:41:11,519 --> 01:41:15,922
skin color, time spent outdoors, and many other things, sex,

1710
01:41:16,303 --> 01:41:18,604
age, and they still found these increased risks of the

1711
01:41:18,664 --> 01:41:21,626
cancer. So when you use sunscreen all the time, you're

1712
01:41:21,686 --> 01:41:25,369
blocking your body's ability to synthesize vitamin D, which is

1713
01:41:25,489 --> 01:41:28,030
critical for cancer defense. So you do not want to

1714
01:41:28,111 --> 01:41:30,652
shut that off. A JAMA study just came out and

1715
01:41:30,712 --> 01:41:35,015
found all those active ingredients in the sunscreens get into

1716
01:41:35,095 --> 01:41:39,818
your circulation. They get into your body above FDA regulatory

1717
01:41:39,898 --> 01:41:41,820
limits. If you really have to use it, if you'll

1718
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:45,182
be out in the sun for six hours, midsummer day,

1719
01:41:45,742 --> 01:41:48,964
you still want to use something, I would use zinc-based

1720
01:41:49,004 --> 01:41:54,788
sunscreen, not oxybenzone, none of those hormone disrupting. Wow. Yeah,

1721
01:41:54,808 --> 01:41:58,431
how about that? Matt Gates was interviewing this guy. And

1722
01:41:58,851 --> 01:42:01,633
there was some companion verbiage to it, Darren, and it

1723
01:42:01,693 --> 01:42:06,496
said that the incidence of just skyrocketed. And it was

1724
01:42:06,596 --> 01:42:11,519
almost unheard of back in the 1930s, 40s, whatever. And

1725
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:14,661
there was further evidence they had that a lot of

1726
01:42:14,661 --> 01:42:19,725
it is not just linked to the... dangerous gunk that

1727
01:42:19,785 --> 01:42:21,846
might be in the stuff we spray in our faces

1728
01:42:21,926 --> 01:42:25,008
and arms and shoulders, but it's diet related in that

1729
01:42:25,549 --> 01:42:29,731
all the crap that we eat, the processed foods, somehow

1730
01:42:30,112 --> 01:42:32,673
reduces our resistance to it. And it said that people

1731
01:42:32,733 --> 01:42:36,776
who are going more in the vein of heavy carnivores

1732
01:42:37,156 --> 01:42:40,739
of properly raised beef, people who used to get terribly

1733
01:42:40,799 --> 01:42:43,501
sunburned will switch to a diet of beef. I don't

1734
01:42:43,501 --> 01:42:45,922
know if this is true, but it's the report. And

1735
01:42:45,982 --> 01:42:49,264
go out and they'll get a color. but they won't

1736
01:42:49,365 --> 01:42:52,467
scald and blister and peel the way they did back

1737
01:42:52,527 --> 01:42:55,268
when they were on the crappy diet. So they're eat

1738
01:42:55,329 --> 01:42:59,251
more steak and hamburger. This is the Texas Beef Initiative

1739
01:42:59,271 --> 01:43:02,733
sponsoring us. There it is. And everybody likes steak. Well,

1740
01:43:02,753 --> 01:43:05,295
not everybody, but a lot of people do. And it

1741
01:43:05,315 --> 01:43:08,837
makes sense that your diet would have an effect. I

1742
01:43:08,878 --> 01:43:10,979
mean, vitamin D is one of the main things when

1743
01:43:11,019 --> 01:43:12,760
you go to the doctor and they do the blood

1744
01:43:12,820 --> 01:43:14,781
test. You either got enough or you don't. If you

1745
01:43:14,841 --> 01:43:18,704
don't know, you got to supplement it. Yeah. But the

1746
01:43:19,024 --> 01:43:22,006
dangerous chemicals in all of this, it's like diet soda.

1747
01:43:22,086 --> 01:43:23,767
So you read the chemical list and you're like, hey,

1748
01:43:23,767 --> 01:43:27,990
did you really just drink water? Exactly. Yeah. That stuff's

1749
01:43:28,010 --> 01:43:31,893
so bad. I could never, ever get past the aftertaste

1750
01:43:32,653 --> 01:43:38,377
in diet sodas. Never. The aspartame or the saccharin was

1751
01:43:38,457 --> 01:43:42,720
the worst one at first. But they never taste just

1752
01:43:42,820 --> 01:43:45,762
like, oh, no, it tastes just like regular soda, which

1753
01:43:45,842 --> 01:43:47,643
is horrible for you as well. But you know what?

1754
01:43:47,923 --> 01:43:51,726
Sugar is less of a problem if, well, back in

1755
01:43:51,766 --> 01:43:54,488
the days when you actually had natural cane sugar in

1756
01:43:54,548 --> 01:43:59,891
your soda rather than the high fructose corn syrup. Right.

1757
01:43:59,951 --> 01:44:02,493
They cut the corners and try to make more money

1758
01:44:02,633 --> 01:44:06,076
on every product that they put out there. Sure. Do

1759
01:44:06,136 --> 01:44:09,538
they sell Mexican Coke in Chicago? Yeah. When we used

1760
01:44:09,538 --> 01:44:13,080
to go to Costco, we'd get the 18-pack or whatever

1761
01:44:13,180 --> 01:44:15,462
it was, and then you kind of just had to

1762
01:44:15,522 --> 01:44:17,523
cut back because it's just so good. But in the

1763
01:44:17,563 --> 01:44:23,527
summer, There's nothing like. a bottle glass bottle yeah of

1764
01:44:23,567 --> 01:44:27,550
mexican coke real cane sugar real change and the taste

1765
01:44:27,670 --> 01:44:31,753
is astonishingly different than the other crap yes you can

1766
01:44:31,993 --> 01:44:34,014
tell i mean if you can't tell the difference then

1767
01:44:34,094 --> 01:44:37,857
your taste buds are dead yes yes that's how it

1768
01:44:37,917 --> 01:44:41,939
is with all the real cane sugar sodas over the

1769
01:44:42,180 --> 01:44:44,901
counterparts that have the high fructose corn syrup there is

1770
01:44:45,001 --> 01:44:48,584
a different taste and your body reacts totally differently to

1771
01:44:48,644 --> 01:44:51,206
them Do you remember the stuff that came out probably

1772
01:44:51,266 --> 01:44:54,308
30 years ago called Jolt? Yeah, that was the best,

1773
01:44:54,428 --> 01:44:57,069
man. And they said like right in the label, twice

1774
01:44:57,129 --> 01:45:00,772
the caffeine. Like all the bad shit was in there.

1775
01:45:01,152 --> 01:45:05,035
Drink this Jolt. It's come and gone a few times.

1776
01:45:05,055 --> 01:45:08,077
Somebody tried to revive it. Back in the day when

1777
01:45:09,057 --> 01:45:13,060
all the computer guys were drinking Balls, B-A-W-L-S, which is

1778
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:17,143
another like totally caffeinated drink. Hey, you want to stay

1779
01:45:17,223 --> 01:45:22,586
up all night and game or code? Oh, wow. Speaking

1780
01:45:22,626 --> 01:45:25,949
of balls. Oh, I hope, I'm praying. I know you

1781
01:45:26,069 --> 01:45:30,191
mentioned something about WNBA and I'm hoping you're going to

1782
01:45:30,252 --> 01:45:35,775
cover this. Yeah, this story is oddly at the front

1783
01:45:36,316 --> 01:45:39,318
of the news and it has been for the last

1784
01:45:39,338 --> 01:45:45,081
few days and it continues to get stranger. And bigger,

1785
01:45:45,181 --> 01:45:48,123
I think. It does. It continues to get bigger. There

1786
01:45:48,143 --> 01:45:50,965
were a couple of things going on. The first was

1787
01:45:51,446 --> 01:45:54,368
Clay Travis from Outkick Sports said, well, you know, if

1788
01:45:54,408 --> 01:45:58,770
you really want to. Stand by your guns that women

1789
01:45:58,851 --> 01:46:01,332
and men are the same. Well, then he had an

1790
01:46:01,392 --> 01:46:05,435
idea. Because the WNBA has right now a lot of

1791
01:46:05,495 --> 01:46:08,737
coaches that are coming out, including in the last day

1792
01:46:08,817 --> 01:46:12,420
or two, saying, hey, if a man identifies as a

1793
01:46:12,540 --> 01:46:15,602
woman, he should be able to play in the WNBA.

1794
01:46:16,162 --> 01:46:19,644
I think that is absolutely ludicrous. It's absurd. The WNBA

1795
01:46:19,744 --> 01:46:23,087
commissioner has not spoken out in favor of Sophie Cunningham

1796
01:46:23,267 --> 01:46:26,209
or even just in favor of basic rules. It's called

1797
01:46:26,229 --> 01:46:32,553
the WNBA because it's the women's basketball association there, right?

1798
01:46:32,793 --> 01:46:36,215
play, I think we should have an actual game. Not

1799
01:46:36,936 --> 01:46:41,519
NBA players against WNBA players. High school boys. Let me

1800
01:46:41,659 --> 01:46:44,881
pick a team. I will put it on pay-per-view. We'll

1801
01:46:44,921 --> 01:46:48,043
donate all the profits to Tunnel to Towers for Wounded

1802
01:46:48,123 --> 01:46:50,885
Warriors, for the families out there that they're helping to

1803
01:46:50,945 --> 01:46:54,127
take care of, first responders. You know Frank Siller. They

1804
01:46:54,187 --> 01:46:57,429
do incredible work. We'll put it on pay-per-view. If the

1805
01:46:57,490 --> 01:47:00,191
high school boys win, I will give them $10 million.

1806
01:47:00,972 --> 01:47:03,734
If the WNBA team wins, I will give them $10

1807
01:47:03,774 --> 01:47:06,736
million. I think we would raise tens of millions of

1808
01:47:06,816 --> 01:47:10,798
dollars for charity. And I'm putting my money where my

1809
01:47:10,898 --> 01:47:15,141
mouth is. If the WNBA really doesn't believe that men

1810
01:47:15,201 --> 01:47:18,043
are that much better than women at basketball, then the

1811
01:47:18,143 --> 01:47:22,026
champion of the WNBA should be able to beat a

1812
01:47:22,106 --> 01:47:25,028
bunch of high school boys, Will. So far, they haven't

1813
01:47:25,108 --> 01:47:31,892
responded. They always talk about how they want more money.

1814
01:47:32,893 --> 01:47:37,016
in the history of the sport. He's right. I think

1815
01:47:37,096 --> 01:47:42,980
the highest... Payroll on a WNBA team now is $7

1816
01:47:43,420 --> 01:47:48,243
million for the season. Wow. And he's offering, and the

1817
01:47:48,503 --> 01:47:51,686
people coming in to the league, this made big news

1818
01:47:51,746 --> 01:47:54,307
when Caitlin Clark came into the league two years ago,

1819
01:47:55,188 --> 01:47:57,890
was between 70 and 80,000. So we can round up

1820
01:47:57,970 --> 01:48:02,873
and say 80,000. Sure. Offering $10 million to beat a

1821
01:48:02,993 --> 01:48:07,096
high school boys basketball team. Why wouldn't these women jump

1822
01:48:07,316 --> 01:48:10,858
at it if they thought they had even an even

1823
01:48:10,978 --> 01:48:14,521
chance of winning? Sure. Because he also went on to

1824
01:48:14,581 --> 01:48:17,062
say that he has heard from countless high school coaches

1825
01:48:17,102 --> 01:48:19,344
that are like, hey, hey, hey, look at my team.

1826
01:48:20,064 --> 01:48:25,768
I'll bet, yeah. And this makes a very... valid point

1827
01:48:26,349 --> 01:48:31,672
that We have covered here and other places that men

1828
01:48:31,732 --> 01:48:36,315
and women are not equal physically. They're not? Strength makes

1829
01:48:36,355 --> 01:48:39,337
a difference. I know. But this is how, I mean,

1830
01:48:39,397 --> 01:48:43,000
just keeping with this little part of the story, this

1831
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:47,403
is how this challenge that the guy from Outkick putting

1832
01:48:47,503 --> 01:48:50,425
out, the $10 million challenge, this is how it was

1833
01:48:50,565 --> 01:48:56,269
covered by an anchor out of Minneapolis who is an

1834
01:48:56,489 --> 01:49:01,912
outwardly, queer woman anchor, but you can figure out what

1835
01:49:02,473 --> 01:49:05,435
her point of view might be here. One last thing

1836
01:49:05,535 --> 01:49:08,797
tonight. The entire world of women's sports is facing the

1837
01:49:08,837 --> 01:49:11,319
debate within its own leagues of who should get to

1838
01:49:11,359 --> 01:49:14,060
play and who should not. And a voice that often

1839
01:49:14,381 --> 01:49:17,242
shouts loudly in that debate is a right-leaning outlet owned

1840
01:49:17,282 --> 01:49:20,825
by Fox News called Outkick Sports. And today its founder

1841
01:49:20,905 --> 01:49:23,186
took to a new stunt, one that really makes no

1842
01:49:23,326 --> 01:49:26,489
sense if OutKick is really concerned about caring about women

1843
01:49:26,489 --> 01:49:29,411
in women's sports. Okay, can anybody explain to me how

1844
01:49:29,711 --> 01:49:32,893
that has anything to do except to show that he

1845
01:49:32,993 --> 01:49:36,455
cares about women in women's sports, not having to play

1846
01:49:36,575 --> 01:49:43,000
against a larger, more powerful man? But no, no, she's

1847
01:49:43,020 --> 01:49:45,541
going to take it the exact opposite direction and pretend,

1848
01:49:45,902 --> 01:49:50,024
oh no, I can't even figure out why, Larry. Clay

1849
01:49:50,084 --> 01:49:53,166
Travis, he's the man behind Outkick. He announced today he's

1850
01:49:53,206 --> 01:49:56,629
offering $10 million to the winner of a game of

1851
01:49:56,709 --> 01:49:59,350
basketball between a high school boys team of his choosing

1852
01:49:59,751 --> 01:49:59,931
and the

1853
01:50:00,244 --> 01:50:04,027
WNBA defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces. I thought to

1854
01:50:04,047 --> 01:50:08,189
myself, why? But obviously the answer is because he thinks

1855
01:50:08,209 --> 01:50:10,551
it is so impossible for any group of women, let

1856
01:50:10,611 --> 01:50:13,293
alone the best in the game, that they could ever

1857
01:50:13,413 --> 01:50:17,956
beat younger and more inexperienced boys. It's a thinly veiled

1858
01:50:18,036 --> 01:50:24,300
sexist joke. What? I know! I know! What? How is

1859
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:28,663
this a sexist joke? It is making a valid point.

1860
01:50:28,763 --> 01:50:34,207
And he's putting up enough money, madam. That she's probably

1861
01:50:34,387 --> 01:50:35,848
annoyed by that because I think she was a they

1862
01:50:35,928 --> 01:50:40,711
there. They're putting up enough money. that this would be

1863
01:50:41,051 --> 01:50:43,853
a big payday for this team. So how is it

1864
01:50:43,853 --> 01:50:46,975
a joke? Somebody's offering you $10 million to play high

1865
01:50:47,076 --> 01:50:50,638
school boys. This is the championship women's team in the

1866
01:50:50,918 --> 01:50:54,821
WNBA to play a bunch of high school boys for

1867
01:50:54,941 --> 01:51:00,064
$10 million. How is that? Really? I don't think it's

1868
01:51:00,124 --> 01:51:02,106
thinly veiled at all. I think it's right out there.

1869
01:51:02,126 --> 01:51:03,907
How is it a sexist joke? I don't think it

1870
01:51:04,067 --> 01:51:10,111
is. younger and more inexperienced boys. It's a thinly veiled

1871
01:51:10,191 --> 01:51:12,833
sexist joke, revealing the actual truth of how he and

1872
01:51:12,873 --> 01:51:16,375
his organization feel about women's sports. It's not about caring

1873
01:51:16,435 --> 01:51:20,318
about them. They think women's sports are a joke. No,

1874
01:51:20,378 --> 01:51:22,499
we just think you're a joke lady. Yeah, well they

1875
01:51:22,539 --> 01:51:27,483
think women's sports... She's 50% correct, Larry, because they think

1876
01:51:27,603 --> 01:51:31,625
women's sports is a joke once you allow men. to

1877
01:51:31,706 --> 01:51:35,228
start playing in that league. Well, there's a lot of

1878
01:51:35,288 --> 01:51:37,930
volunteers now, aren't there? Three the last time I checked.

1879
01:51:38,170 --> 01:51:40,431
Yeah, I've got two. This is the second one that

1880
01:51:40,591 --> 01:51:44,754
came out. This is Royce White, former NBA first-round draft

1881
01:51:44,814 --> 01:51:48,537
pick. That's a cool first name, Royce. He's got a

1882
01:51:48,677 --> 01:51:53,100
brother named Rolls, I guess. Earlier this week, I made

1883
01:51:53,140 --> 01:51:57,523
the announcement. I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as

1884
01:51:57,583 --> 01:52:02,306
sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of basketball, professional

1885
01:52:02,366 --> 01:52:05,768
basketball. So I'll be declaring for the WNBA draft in

1886
01:52:05,768 --> 01:52:09,391
2027 as well. I mean, I think I'd be unstoppable.

1887
01:52:11,092 --> 01:52:14,574
But I'm a team first guy. I'm a pass first

1888
01:52:14,634 --> 01:52:17,656
kind of player. I do the little things. I led

1889
01:52:17,696 --> 01:52:20,478
my team in all five major stat categories at Iowa

1890
01:52:20,538 --> 01:52:23,120
State University. So I do a little bit of everything.

1891
01:52:23,140 --> 01:52:24,921
I'll do whatever the coach needs me to do. I'll

1892
01:52:24,941 --> 01:52:28,083
do whatever the girls need me to do. I think

1893
01:52:28,123 --> 01:52:30,765
the WNBA could come out and make a definitive statement

1894
01:52:31,346 --> 01:52:34,027
about guys with a pair of balls playing in the

1895
01:52:34,087 --> 01:52:38,590
women's association. But, you know, hey, that'd be. That'd be

1896
01:52:38,711 --> 01:52:41,532
probably too much like right. And I don't want to

1897
01:52:41,552 --> 01:52:45,895
be discriminated against. I want fair treatment. I'm a black,

1898
01:52:46,856 --> 01:52:52,700
I'm a young black, hopefully United States Senator, that would

1899
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:56,522
like a fair chance to participate as a sometimes identifying

1900
01:52:56,643 --> 01:53:02,947
as a transgender woman athlete. Like, his delivery was good

1901
01:53:03,007 --> 01:53:05,388
on that one. Royce is cool, man. I dig that.

1902
01:53:05,989 --> 01:53:10,352
And the latest from the WNBA, because, of course, they're

1903
01:53:10,372 --> 01:53:13,794
like, oh, geez, now what? Well, this is still a

1904
01:53:14,655 --> 01:53:20,038
nuanced topic, Larry. It's nuanced. Nuanced? Yeah. Okay. Whether it's

1905
01:53:20,078 --> 01:53:24,521
a dude. with balls or whether it's a female for

1906
01:53:24,581 --> 01:53:29,164
the WNBA it is still This next clip here is

1907
01:53:29,204 --> 01:53:32,226
the original guy, NS Cantor Freedom. He was the first

1908
01:53:32,367 --> 01:53:35,389
one that came out. And so I've got, I think,

1909
01:53:35,409 --> 01:53:38,831
like the first 20 seconds or so is his. statement

1910
01:53:38,851 --> 01:53:42,353
saying he wants to play in the WNBA, followed immediately

1911
01:53:42,473 --> 01:54:09,011
by Stephen A. Smith and his reaction. on trans. We

1912
01:54:09,051 --> 01:54:10,932
don't want to hate on trans folks. That's not what

1913
01:54:10,952 --> 01:54:13,995
that's about. Anybody who's hating on them should be ashamed

1914
01:54:13,995 --> 01:54:17,417
of themselves. The WNBA, the NDA, and everybody else in

1915
01:54:17,457 --> 01:54:20,679
between is absolutely right when they talk about not violating

1916
01:54:20,699 --> 01:54:24,882
people's civil rights and liberties, not being hateful, not engaging

1917
01:54:25,142 --> 01:54:27,864
in hate in any way, shape, form, or fashion, whether

1918
01:54:27,944 --> 01:54:31,806
verbally, physically, or otherwise. We all know that. But what

1919
01:54:31,826 --> 01:54:35,389
Anita's cancer is pointing to is about competition. So for

1920
01:54:35,469 --> 01:54:40,953
somebody and for folks to act like it would be

1921
01:54:41,033 --> 01:54:45,215
okay for them to participate in the WNBA is ridiculous.

1922
01:54:45,756 --> 01:54:49,298
And when you have athletes from the WNBA saying that

1923
01:54:49,378 --> 01:54:52,640
they're looking out for and speaking up on behalf of

1924
01:54:53,181 --> 01:54:58,144
girls because it would clearly be an unfair advantage to

1925
01:54:58,204 --> 01:55:03,648
a trans athlete. over people born female. What's the problem?

1926
01:55:04,028 --> 01:55:07,090
What's the problem? We got to have common sense. And

1927
01:55:07,150 --> 01:55:10,512
yes, Enos Cantor is going a bit too far, but

1928
01:55:10,532 --> 01:55:12,434
he's right to do so to make a point. And

1929
01:55:12,494 --> 01:55:16,276
Royce White, former NBA player, now a conservative pundit, he's

1930
01:55:16,356 --> 01:55:18,318
right too because he's trying to make a point. Certain

1931
01:55:18,398 --> 01:55:20,939
things are beyond ridiculous and you got to call it

1932
01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:24,342
out. Just to send a message. Do you get it

1933
01:55:24,362 --> 01:55:27,324
now? Are you sure you want to continue this subject?

1934
01:55:27,524 --> 01:55:29,345
Are you sure you want to continue on this path?

1935
01:55:29,685 --> 01:55:32,287
Sure you don't want to be political pawns. Fine. Then

1936
01:55:32,467 --> 01:55:36,090
understand that the WNBA is for girls and people born

1937
01:55:36,110 --> 01:55:38,211
female and leave it at that. And stop acting like

1938
01:55:38,211 --> 01:55:40,973
you don't know. Otherwise, there'll be a lot more Enos

1939
01:55:40,993 --> 01:55:45,196
Cantus. We all know y'all don't want that. Yeah, but

1940
01:55:45,216 --> 01:55:47,117
I'm not sure they don't want that. I mean, that's

1941
01:55:47,177 --> 01:55:51,420
the weird thing with whatever's going on at the WNBA.

1942
01:55:51,580 --> 01:55:54,802
This is just a really quick clip from the head

1943
01:55:54,942 --> 01:55:57,864
coach of the Indiana— Before you go there, I just

1944
01:55:57,864 --> 01:56:01,287
want to say I really enjoyed listening to Stephen A.

1945
01:56:01,367 --> 01:56:04,169
Smith there because he was talking, not screaming. He's hit

1946
01:56:04,229 --> 01:56:07,531
and miss. Well, that was actually very good. It was

1947
01:56:07,611 --> 01:56:10,112
very good. He needs to stay that course. I'm sorry

1948
01:56:10,133 --> 01:56:13,155
for the interruption. Mellow out that delivery rather than going

1949
01:56:13,235 --> 01:56:17,477
the— Yeah, yeah. Well. Let me tell you, Larry. Let

1950
01:56:17,537 --> 01:56:21,240
me tell you this. That's very good. You got it,

1951
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:23,602
man. He goes from the quiet to the loud, the

1952
01:56:23,662 --> 01:56:26,944
quiet to the loud. He is working the crowd all

1953
01:56:27,004 --> 01:56:29,666
the time. This is the coach of the Indiana Fever,

1954
01:56:29,806 --> 01:56:32,768
which is the team with Sophie Cunningham and with Caitlin

1955
01:56:32,908 --> 01:56:39,752
Clark. And when she was asked about this particular... nun

1956
01:56:39,892 --> 01:56:42,814
drum about well men and women's sports her answer was

1957
01:56:42,975 --> 01:56:48,418
maybe possibly the dumbest thing I've heard so far in

1958
01:56:48,478 --> 01:56:52,441
this whole ordeal. What is your stance on men or

1959
01:56:52,921 --> 01:56:56,243
athletes who test as biological male participating in women's sports?

1960
01:56:56,364 --> 01:57:00,086
What's your personal stance? Yeah, I mean, I don't know

1961
01:57:00,106 --> 01:57:02,107
that I would say that I'm educated enough from a

1962
01:57:02,228 --> 01:57:05,650
scientific standpoint. I don't ever believe that exclusion is an

1963
01:57:05,710 --> 01:57:10,073
answer. I just don't. She is not educated enough in

1964
01:57:10,133 --> 01:57:14,095
the scientific standpoint to understand the difference between a male

1965
01:57:14,236 --> 01:57:17,538
and a female. Head coach, Indiana Fever. She must be

1966
01:57:17,678 --> 01:57:20,480
friends with that Supreme Court justice who couldn't say what

1967
01:57:20,480 --> 01:57:23,582
a woman was. Yes. Yeah. It's the same thing. I

1968
01:57:23,582 --> 01:57:25,783
mean, I saw a, it was either a meme or

1969
01:57:25,823 --> 01:57:27,665
somebody posted the other day that if somebody would have

1970
01:57:27,705 --> 01:57:30,346
told you 10 years ago that the biggest argument going

1971
01:57:30,426 --> 01:57:33,849
around the country would be whether a man, what is

1972
01:57:33,849 --> 01:57:36,130
a man and what is a woman, nobody would believe

1973
01:57:36,310 --> 01:57:41,294
it. It's incredible. I know how we can take advantage

1974
01:57:41,334 --> 01:57:43,675
of this, Darren. We're going to go to the WNBA.

1975
01:57:43,815 --> 01:57:45,937
I could play. Even with one eye, I could play.

1976
01:57:46,497 --> 01:57:48,779
You could, absolutely. I'm sure you'd do very well. But

1977
01:57:48,819 --> 01:57:51,360
I'm thinking maybe what we need to do is propose

1978
01:57:52,161 --> 01:57:56,424
Adam C. Curry. He is 6'5". So am I. You

1979
01:57:56,524 --> 01:58:00,286
are too. Imagine what it would do suddenly. These podcast

1980
01:58:00,347 --> 01:58:04,709
guys, they want in now. I mean, holy, that would

1981
01:58:04,749 --> 01:58:08,172
be sensational. What a play. The towers of power. comment

1982
01:58:08,212 --> 01:58:12,255
to you right from the WNBA. Yes, yes, yes. And

1983
01:58:12,315 --> 01:58:18,399
just to prove. how deeply ingrained in identity politics that

1984
01:58:18,419 --> 01:58:22,922
the WNBA is. The coach, which we just heard from,

1985
01:58:22,982 --> 01:58:27,685
from the Indiana Fever, there was a flagrant foul called

1986
01:58:27,905 --> 01:58:31,387
on Sophie Cunningham, who is now getting the crap beat

1987
01:58:31,487 --> 01:58:34,249
out of her, just like Caitlin Clark has had. I

1988
01:58:34,329 --> 01:58:38,812
saw that. That was infuriating, man. The foul was up

1989
01:58:38,932 --> 01:58:45,397
to the level where the player was ejected. the Indiana

1990
01:58:45,537 --> 01:58:49,199
Fever, the coach that is on Sophie's team, the woman

1991
01:58:49,279 --> 01:58:53,002
that got mauled. was like, well, you know, I guess

1992
01:58:53,082 --> 01:58:54,883
it was the right call, but I don't think it

1993
01:58:54,943 --> 01:58:59,887
was intentional. Like, sure, sure, it wasn't intentional, but the...

1994
01:59:00,707 --> 01:59:06,771
player that fouled her so hard she was ejected. went

1995
01:59:06,891 --> 01:59:10,554
immediately to social media. And do you know what she

1996
01:59:10,654 --> 01:59:16,458
posted on social media? Tell me. White privilege. Because Sophie's

1997
01:59:16,558 --> 01:59:19,960
white and this girl's black. This is how down the

1998
01:59:20,260 --> 01:59:24,363
rabbit hole. these folks in the wnba are and nobody

1999
01:59:24,423 --> 01:59:28,966
ever cared about the wnba let's be honest No. Until

2000
01:59:29,046 --> 01:59:32,188
Caitlin Clark got there. But it's a very good example

2001
01:59:32,669 --> 01:59:36,091
of the culture war that is going on right now.

2002
01:59:36,431 --> 01:59:40,134
Yes, yes, yes, it is. And it's hilarious to me

2003
01:59:40,194 --> 01:59:43,776
that you have NBA guys now going, well, I'd like

2004
01:59:43,816 --> 01:59:46,518
to play. Well, you and Adam have to be next.

2005
01:59:46,678 --> 01:59:48,639
They're going to let him in. I want to find

2006
01:59:48,759 --> 01:59:52,402
out what kind of a fund that could be. But

2007
01:59:52,462 --> 01:59:54,323
since people say, you know, we don't go after the

2008
01:59:54,423 --> 01:59:57,105
right wingers enough, here is a clip from Megyn Kelly

2009
01:59:57,165 --> 01:59:59,567
where I think she's being a total bitch.

2010
02:00:01,001 --> 02:00:04,783
Caitlin Clark was directly asked to speak on it, and

2011
02:00:04,903 --> 02:00:08,886
she was cowardly. She refused to do it. It is

2012
02:00:09,066 --> 02:00:14,369
one thing to inject politics into your sport where they

2013
02:00:14,430 --> 02:00:18,492
don't belong, like Colin Kaepernick kneeling in the middle of

2014
02:00:18,532 --> 02:00:22,295
professional football games. It's quite another when little girls are

2015
02:00:22,335 --> 02:00:25,137
getting the shit kicked out of them in their sport,

2016
02:00:25,617 --> 02:00:29,339
and you are the most famous woman in women's basketball,

2017
02:00:29,620 --> 02:00:32,682
and you're directly asked as the issue rears its head

2018
02:00:32,902 --> 02:00:36,965
in your sport, and you punt on it. You won't

2019
02:00:37,105 --> 02:00:42,348
say anything. You'd rather let the 12-year-olds handle it. that

2020
02:00:43,929 --> 02:00:47,872
Big words from Megan for trying to get in the...

2021
02:00:48,632 --> 02:00:52,395
Shoes of a Caitlin Clark who is already getting the

2022
02:00:52,515 --> 02:00:54,876
crap kicked out of her by the other women in

2023
02:00:54,976 --> 02:00:59,159
the league. Yes. And if she doesn't want to make

2024
02:00:59,239 --> 02:01:02,942
a statement. That's America, baby. She doesn't have to get

2025
02:01:03,042 --> 02:01:06,904
political. No, she doesn't. No. You know, so to be

2026
02:01:07,025 --> 02:01:10,067
here and be like, no, she's in, you know, I

2027
02:01:10,167 --> 02:01:16,571
just don't even understand. the insanity that this is where

2028
02:01:16,631 --> 02:01:19,133
we are now, that you have to. I mean, I'm

2029
02:01:19,213 --> 02:01:21,074
tired of people that are like you. Not only do

2030
02:01:21,134 --> 02:01:23,936
you have to support us or believe that we're right,

2031
02:01:24,136 --> 02:01:27,898
but you have to now come out and publicly. say

2032
02:01:28,058 --> 02:01:31,080
something, getting called out. I think Meghan's forgetting, you know,

2033
02:01:31,141 --> 02:01:36,084
that this is a free country. And that this woman

2034
02:01:36,224 --> 02:01:38,646
is getting the crap kicked out of her on a

2035
02:01:38,766 --> 02:01:44,049
daily basis. It was a great... 10, 12 minutes. Victor

2036
02:01:44,109 --> 02:01:47,451
Davis Hanson did the other day. Check it out on

2037
02:01:47,491 --> 02:01:50,874
YouTube talking about this. But he's like the identity politics

2038
02:01:50,914 --> 02:01:55,257
in the WNBA. Very interesting because it seems that it

2039
02:01:55,637 --> 02:02:01,621
is a majority black players and also a majority lesbian.

2040
02:02:02,041 --> 02:02:06,284
And you have Caitlin Clark and now Sophie Cunningham, who

2041
02:02:06,624 --> 02:02:11,547
are straight white girls, that... all of a sudden are

2042
02:02:11,547 --> 02:02:15,570
the most popular people in the league and are now,

2043
02:02:15,910 --> 02:02:20,173
even though these other players. have gone from literally the

2044
02:02:20,253 --> 02:02:23,856
change because caitlyn clark hitting in the amount of people

2045
02:02:23,916 --> 02:02:27,738
that are watching the wnba they've gone from having to

2046
02:02:27,838 --> 02:02:31,601
fly coach to being able to fly private all of

2047
02:02:31,661 --> 02:02:35,844
their contracts have gone up they're all making more money

2048
02:02:36,124 --> 02:02:40,567
but they hate her Because she doesn't look like them

2049
02:02:40,647 --> 02:02:45,030
because she doesn't share the same You know sexual preference

2050
02:02:45,110 --> 02:02:50,053
that they do it is insane Yeah. I'm not a

2051
02:02:50,113 --> 02:02:53,155
regular watcher of Megyn Kelly, but lately I kind of

2052
02:02:53,175 --> 02:02:56,417
get the feeling very often she's just doing a pot-stirring

2053
02:02:56,517 --> 02:02:59,099
deal, you know? Maybe it was the Ozempic. I mean,

2054
02:02:59,159 --> 02:03:01,601
something happened. Oh, did she Ozempic herself, too? Yeah, I

2055
02:03:01,681 --> 02:03:03,562
think so. I mean, there was a change that was

2056
02:03:03,602 --> 02:03:07,745
pretty quick at one point. But, I mean, that's just

2057
02:03:07,765 --> 02:03:11,727
speculation. That is just from the producer's mode, as John

2058
02:03:11,787 --> 02:03:16,551
and Adam would always say. Just strictly from a producer's

2059
02:03:16,611 --> 02:03:19,352
mode where we'll comment upon the way that she looks.

2060
02:03:19,352 --> 02:03:22,455
Megan's an amateur. She's an amateur compared to Ariana Grande.

2061
02:03:22,775 --> 02:03:25,497
I know. The girl needs a hamburger, man. I'm telling

2062
02:03:25,517 --> 02:03:29,519
you. That girl needs professional attention. I mean, she's getting

2063
02:03:29,519 --> 02:03:32,541
into the Karen Carpenter zone. I mean, really, that's no

2064
02:03:32,621 --> 02:03:35,183
joke. It's sad. It is, because she's got talent. She

2065
02:03:35,243 --> 02:03:37,785
can sing. She's got tremendous talent, yeah. I mean, you

2066
02:03:37,825 --> 02:03:40,406
may not like her music, but she can actually sing

2067
02:03:40,527 --> 02:03:44,209
without all of the auto-tune and all of that. Sure.

2068
02:03:44,649 --> 02:03:47,511
Very talented girl. I see these pictures like, oh, my

2069
02:03:47,751 --> 02:03:50,653
God. Wow. What are you doing? How much is social

2070
02:03:50,733 --> 02:03:54,076
media? Because they are being judged on a minute-by-minute basis.

2071
02:03:54,136 --> 02:03:56,857
And you and I will read at some point some

2072
02:03:56,897 --> 02:03:59,019
of the reviews of us doing the show. Adam was

2073
02:03:59,079 --> 02:04:01,741
very kind. A lot of people seem to like what

2074
02:04:01,801 --> 02:04:04,623
we're doing. But there are some that have been vicious.

2075
02:04:04,643 --> 02:04:08,105
No. Nobody could. Larry and I, it's kind of like,

2076
02:04:08,225 --> 02:04:09,706
hey, did you see this one? Oh, yeah, did you

2077
02:04:09,746 --> 02:04:12,908
see this? And it's funny, but for somebody like Ariana

2078
02:04:12,988 --> 02:04:18,011
Grande, I mean, the negativity might actually cause a problem.

2079
02:04:18,072 --> 02:04:21,134
And, you know, oh, no, I got to be perfect.

2080
02:04:21,214 --> 02:04:24,836
I got to achieve whatever the goal is. And this

2081
02:04:24,916 --> 02:04:27,598
social media with kids that do nothing but sit at

2082
02:04:27,658 --> 02:04:30,760
home on their screens rather than going out and having

2083
02:04:31,420 --> 02:04:35,083
conversations with their friends and not worried about what anybody

2084
02:04:35,223 --> 02:04:38,345
outside of their little group. cared about. I mean, that's...

2085
02:04:39,586 --> 02:04:44,269
Didn't have the... to see that until the internet rolled

2086
02:04:44,329 --> 02:04:46,310
around and by the time the internet rolled around I

2087
02:04:46,390 --> 02:04:49,452
mean it really became prevalent you know I was already

2088
02:04:49,512 --> 02:04:52,434
in my 30s so by that point you have a

2089
02:04:52,474 --> 02:04:57,158
whole different skin on you to take the people that

2090
02:04:57,218 --> 02:04:59,999
are going to be haters. But it's horrible. I mean,

2091
02:05:00,019 --> 02:05:02,181
I don't have kids, so a lot of people are

2092
02:05:02,181 --> 02:05:04,803
like, oh, you shouldn't even comment. But you can see

2093
02:05:04,903 --> 02:05:08,565
it. It's dangerous. It's bad. It's very dangerous. Very so.

2094
02:05:08,945 --> 02:05:11,387
Much so. I think Adam had a great phrase for,

2095
02:05:12,748 --> 02:05:15,670
what do you say, sort of like the... It wasn't

2096
02:05:15,770 --> 02:05:21,374
chemically or digitally induced autism. Yeah. And I absolutely know

2097
02:05:21,454 --> 02:05:23,815
that for a fact because I, you know, back in

2098
02:05:23,855 --> 02:05:26,257
the day in school and my kids were in school

2099
02:05:26,317 --> 02:05:30,460
in Los Angeles. There were several kids I knew that

2100
02:05:30,680 --> 02:05:35,803
the goddamn iPad was just basically stitched to the palms

2101
02:05:35,843 --> 02:05:39,306
of their hands. They never put it down. And by

2102
02:05:39,346 --> 02:05:41,187
the time these kids were five, six years old, they

2103
02:05:41,247 --> 02:05:43,989
basically, I don't know whether they couldn't or wouldn't speak.

2104
02:05:44,989 --> 02:05:47,871
Wow. You know, like, yeah. Yeah, like, what are you

2105
02:05:47,951 --> 02:05:50,473
doing? Rip that out of that kid's paws, you know?

2106
02:05:51,774 --> 02:05:56,757
So, yeah, yeah, it is what it is. Yes, again,

2107
02:05:56,857 --> 02:06:00,039
parents, make your kids grow up without the technology as

2108
02:06:00,279 --> 02:06:02,341
much as you can. Some people will be like, it's

2109
02:06:02,381 --> 02:06:05,863
impossible, Juan. I don't think it's impossible. You can limit

2110
02:06:05,963 --> 02:06:08,065
it. You can do a flip phone if you want

2111
02:06:08,085 --> 02:06:09,846
to feel like your kid can get a hold of

2112
02:06:09,906 --> 02:06:13,849
you. Do the flip phone. They don't need full access

2113
02:06:13,929 --> 02:06:16,650
to everything, at least until they're in high school. And

2114
02:06:16,730 --> 02:06:19,532
even then, you want to be on top of them

2115
02:06:19,572 --> 02:06:23,075
and understand and explain. You're going to have to have

2116
02:06:23,475 --> 02:06:25,836
those hard conversations. I mean, parents never want to have,

2117
02:06:25,857 --> 02:06:27,498
you know, the birds and the bees. It's always like,

2118
02:06:27,558 --> 02:06:29,539
oh, maybe I can wait. I don't want to do

2119
02:06:29,579 --> 02:06:31,320
it when they're 12. But you've got to be on

2120
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:34,462
top of this stuff. Give me an etch-a-sketch. That's the

2121
02:06:34,542 --> 02:06:39,285
answer. I used to be like, I know. Oh, man,

2122
02:06:39,325 --> 02:06:41,407
it's like turn one knob, turn the other knob. You

2123
02:06:41,487 --> 02:06:44,089
know, there's like at least three no agenda artists right

2124
02:06:44,149 --> 02:06:46,250
now like, action sketch, that's the artwork we're going to

2125
02:06:46,310 --> 02:06:48,912
need. Could do anything but dot an I. That was

2126
02:06:49,052 --> 02:06:51,694
it. Yeah. You can't skip. You'd have to be really

2127
02:06:51,754 --> 02:06:55,156
good to skip. Now, you've got one more here. I've

2128
02:06:55,216 --> 02:06:57,678
got one more. Is there a setup? Forget that one.

2129
02:06:57,678 --> 02:07:00,920
We'll save that for next time. Good old Stevie Miller.

2130
02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:04,942
Yeah. There's no shelf life to it. It'll be just

2131
02:07:05,003 --> 02:07:08,425
as good next time. Well, this one for anybody that

2132
02:07:08,505 --> 02:07:13,888
has listened to Planet Rage. you you will recognize this

2133
02:07:13,948 --> 02:07:46,450
horrible AI tune. *laughter* like to congratulate President Trump on

2134
02:07:46,530 --> 02:07:51,674
becoming the first U.S. leader to lose a war. Iran

2135
02:07:51,974 --> 02:07:55,476
makes a deal, all right, not with Trump, but with

2136
02:07:55,736 --> 02:07:59,979
Oman. They now jointly control the Strait of Hormuz and

2137
02:08:00,059 --> 02:08:04,222
Trump and the U.S. We can pay the effing toll.

2138
02:08:05,042 --> 02:08:09,105
Cash only! There didn't used to be a toll. Now

2139
02:08:09,145 --> 02:08:14,149
there's a toll. Big L for Trump. Trump, an American

2140
02:08:14,229 --> 02:08:17,211
president, has lost a war. I'm so tired of all

2141
02:08:17,251 --> 02:08:21,674
the winning, so let's try all the losing. Yes, the

2142
02:08:21,714 --> 02:08:26,637
Countdown podcast is back. Glad you noticed after 88 days

2143
02:08:26,717 --> 02:08:29,299
of rest and recovery. Yeah, I just wanted to say

2144
02:08:29,439 --> 02:08:34,182
88. 88. Please, thank you. And we have Trump losing

2145
02:08:34,202 --> 02:08:37,304
in Iran, Abdul El-Sayed winning in Michigan and immediately going

2146
02:08:37,404 --> 02:08:41,507
on the offensive, throwing punches at the Republican. The bigger

2147
02:08:41,587 --> 02:08:44,429
picture about how Trump is making pollution and death by

2148
02:08:44,549 --> 02:08:48,371
climate change great again. The failures of Maggie Haberman and

2149
02:08:48,411 --> 02:08:53,635
The Times and the Tony Fauci hearings. or the many

2150
02:08:53,995 --> 02:08:58,338
faces of Laura Ingraham. And you know what I mean!

2151
02:08:59,559 --> 02:09:02,901
All on the Thursday Countdown Podcast, wherever you podcast, and

2152
02:09:02,961 --> 02:09:06,683
the full video version. Me on camera for an hour.

2153
02:09:07,704 --> 02:09:09,906
I don't know if that's a great selling point. Now

2154
02:09:10,046 --> 02:09:13,248
on YouTube. No, it's not. It's not a great selling

2155
02:09:13,348 --> 02:09:15,950
point. I am so glad you did that. And what

2156
02:09:16,050 --> 02:09:18,591
great timing on Keith's part. I think in some way,

2157
02:09:18,711 --> 02:09:23,455
like, we're magnetically linked, we three. Back after almost three

2158
02:09:23,575 --> 02:09:28,278
months because he started having AFib. And his doctor told

2159
02:09:28,338 --> 02:09:31,480
him that he should cut down on the anger. But

2160
02:09:31,500 --> 02:09:35,022
I doubt he's one that can. Picked down on the

2161
02:09:35,142 --> 02:09:38,344
anger. He doesn't seem like he could. But he's a

2162
02:09:38,385 --> 02:09:42,067
better doctor than Scott Lobato does. Well, he got him

2163
02:09:42,147 --> 02:09:46,870
before the... That's true. So it's good to hear Keith's

2164
02:09:46,950 --> 02:09:51,253
voice again. I'm glad he's around. And let's... I want

2165
02:09:51,273 --> 02:09:56,316
to give full credit. That composition is all Darren O'Neill.

2166
02:09:56,336 --> 02:09:59,959
He's not doing the singing. No, bad AI. Ha ha.

2167
02:10:00,252 --> 02:10:04,775
But, man, that became an absolute classic on Planet Rage.

2168
02:10:04,915 --> 02:10:07,177
People always wanted to hear that. Keef the Kweef. And

2169
02:10:07,217 --> 02:10:10,019
you did several iterations, but that's the best one. That's

2170
02:10:10,059 --> 02:10:13,161
really great. Again, we learned from no agenda. People like,

2171
02:10:13,261 --> 02:10:15,482
and then all of a sudden you create something like

2172
02:10:15,522 --> 02:10:16,763
that, and they're like, oh, no, you've got to keep

2173
02:10:16,803 --> 02:10:20,365
playing that. Yeah. How these things happen, we'll never know.

2174
02:10:21,146 --> 02:10:25,689
We're just glad they do. Show my support by donating

2175
02:10:25,909 --> 02:10:28,311
to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do

2176
02:10:28,471 --> 02:10:38,698
that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, this is a

2177
02:10:39,398 --> 02:10:43,141
podcast that is out there. It's value for value. And

2178
02:10:43,701 --> 02:10:45,782
Sir Chris Wilson sent this out, too, for the value

2179
02:10:45,822 --> 02:10:47,924
for value. So let me listen to this. This is

2180
02:10:47,984 --> 02:10:52,087
your amygdala. Shut up! This is the mainstream media. We

2181
02:10:52,187 --> 02:10:54,688
are concerned about the struggle of trying to be responsible.

2182
02:10:54,968 --> 02:10:57,410
One side of these stories is playing in our country.

2183
02:10:57,750 --> 02:11:04,755
This is your amygdala without no agenda. Any questions? It's

2184
02:11:04,815 --> 02:11:09,098
donate, donate, donate. Time, talent, and treasure. There's no ads.

2185
02:11:09,438 --> 02:11:12,420
There's no corporate money. There is no paywall. There's no

2186
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:15,222
Patreon. There's no subscription you can't figure out how to

2187
02:11:15,282 --> 02:11:18,624
get out of. We highly recommend you get a podcasting

2188
02:11:18,704 --> 02:11:21,826
2.0 app. You can get it at podcastapps.com. Then you

2189
02:11:21,866 --> 02:11:24,708
can get the bat signal when we go live. You

2190
02:11:24,748 --> 02:11:26,409
can always know when we go live. You know when

2191
02:11:26,429 --> 02:11:28,231
there's a new show. If you laugh, you cry, you're

2192
02:11:28,231 --> 02:11:30,812
better than cats. Of course we are. Where else are

2193
02:11:30,812 --> 02:11:33,534
you going to hear Billy Idol making out with Julie

2194
02:11:33,594 --> 02:11:39,058
Brown? I mean, that's... Barely true. Only here. If you

2195
02:11:39,118 --> 02:11:40,839
got any value out of the show, you get to

2196
02:11:40,859 --> 02:11:46,383
go over to noagendadonations.com. And whatever number hits you, whatever

2197
02:11:46,463 --> 02:11:49,185
number, means something to you. Numerology is a big part

2198
02:11:49,245 --> 02:11:51,666
of this. For some people, five bucks is a lot

2199
02:11:51,726 --> 02:11:53,948
of money. Some people might throw 50. Some might throw

2200
02:11:54,068 --> 02:11:58,411
500 or 5,000. It all depends on how much value

2201
02:11:58,671 --> 02:12:02,173
that you got out of the show. And let's see,

2202
02:12:02,213 --> 02:12:04,275
how many people do we have live here in the

2203
02:12:04,335 --> 02:12:12,320
troll room? Let's see. That is 771 now with a

2204
02:12:12,460 --> 02:12:17,003
peak of 1103. Everybody wanted to hear the podfather. Okay,

2205
02:12:17,003 --> 02:12:20,325
man. Yeah, 1103. Not bad. They always run. Like, right

2206
02:12:20,325 --> 02:12:21,886
when they're like, oh, no, they're going to talk about

2207
02:12:21,906 --> 02:12:25,569
donations, we got to run. The trolls are afraid of

2208
02:12:25,829 --> 02:12:29,331
donations. I don't know why. Trolls, just go to noagendedonations.com.

2209
02:12:29,411 --> 02:12:32,373
You will feel good. You will. And that way you'll

2210
02:12:32,373 --> 02:12:35,655
know. Get your podcasting 2.0 app. We have to acknowledge

2211
02:12:35,715 --> 02:12:37,617
that one of the ways you can show some value

2212
02:12:37,737 --> 02:12:41,880
is by doing artwork for the show. And we were

2213
02:12:41,960 --> 02:12:45,042
totally remiss on the last show to not mention Mike

2214
02:12:45,342 --> 02:12:50,625
Riley's beautiful artwork of the water tower with the Iranian

2215
02:12:50,705 --> 02:12:53,227
lock. It is so beautiful to see Mike Riley back.

2216
02:12:53,267 --> 02:12:55,809
I know, Larry, you didn't follow the art as closely

2217
02:12:55,889 --> 02:12:57,910
as I did, which was, well, way too close. It

2218
02:12:57,910 --> 02:13:00,952
was beautiful, though. I was throwing out so much artwork.

2219
02:13:01,012 --> 02:13:03,874
And Adam had to get me out of the competition

2220
02:13:03,954 --> 02:13:07,196
just so the other artists can come back. and step

2221
02:13:07,357 --> 02:13:10,739
up and Mike Riley, a true artist, he's published books

2222
02:13:10,839 --> 02:13:14,361
of his work. He is a cartoonist who does this

2223
02:13:14,461 --> 02:13:18,884
thing without the AI assistance. Oh, wow. Which makes him

2224
02:13:18,984 --> 02:13:22,086
even more impressive. If you like that and you'd like

2225
02:13:22,427 --> 02:13:26,709
to find out more, just go over to MikeRiley.lol, which

2226
02:13:26,789 --> 02:13:30,472
is a great domain. It is. Now, on the last

2227
02:13:30,532 --> 02:13:34,455
show, we had a few different things to choose from.

2228
02:13:34,495 --> 02:13:37,657
And I'll pull this here up as well. But the

2229
02:13:37,837 --> 02:13:41,639
one we chose came from Parker Pauly, a black knight.

2230
02:13:42,680 --> 02:13:47,863
And it was of the JCD Buzzkill Shaver, Thank you.

2231
02:13:49,384 --> 02:13:53,767
Adam and John taught me always go with the joke.

2232
02:13:55,008 --> 02:14:00,112
And this was the perfect joke. It was. The shaver

2233
02:14:00,212 --> 02:14:02,933
from the story that Adam told that he would turn

2234
02:14:03,114 --> 02:14:06,136
on JCD's microphone. And, you know, he might be eating

2235
02:14:06,216 --> 02:14:08,837
breakfast or he might be shaving. And we're like, what?

2236
02:14:10,619 --> 02:14:13,280
Who's shaving right before the show with an electric razor,

2237
02:14:13,320 --> 02:14:18,164
which now makes you wonder? What's inside that Heil PR-40

2238
02:14:18,224 --> 02:14:22,426
that he was using? There has to be some... Trimmings.

2239
02:14:23,127 --> 02:14:26,449
There's got to be some trimmings in there. There is

2240
02:14:27,090 --> 02:14:30,512
no doubt about it. Oh, I've got thunder going on

2241
02:14:30,612 --> 02:14:34,935
loud. Just a fair warning. Oh, really? Yeah, the area

2242
02:14:35,195 --> 02:14:39,057
here lately, anytime it rains, it seems like the power

2243
02:14:39,098 --> 02:14:41,759
goes out. So hopefully I won't disappear. But there were.

2244
02:14:42,760 --> 02:14:47,403
A plethora of interesting pieces. We liked Tyler Brown's Fauci

2245
02:14:47,543 --> 02:14:49,705
in the orange jumpsuit, but that was too depressing. A

2246
02:14:50,245 --> 02:14:54,148
little bit, but it was good. The one from Comic

2247
02:14:54,208 --> 02:14:59,831
Strip Blogger. which had two men and a woman in

2248
02:14:59,911 --> 02:15:02,993
the middle and said, O'Neal, Blydener, and Curry. We didn't

2249
02:15:03,013 --> 02:15:05,895
know why you made Larry a blonde woman. Because the

2250
02:15:05,955 --> 02:15:09,198
trans Larry. It's got to be it, right? So you

2251
02:15:09,298 --> 02:15:13,300
can get into the WNBA now. Why not? We'll make

2252
02:15:13,320 --> 02:15:17,523
it a threesome. Is there a women's podcasting network? I

2253
02:15:17,563 --> 02:15:22,666
don't know. What are we trying to do? Tyler Brown,

2254
02:15:22,747 --> 02:15:27,390
the Grimm Fauci fairy tale. I thought that was... cute

2255
02:15:27,470 --> 02:15:33,594
but just it didn't have the oomph that the Parker-Hawley

2256
02:15:34,114 --> 02:15:38,397
piece had. Although I did like Nesworks, the Larry and

2257
02:15:38,477 --> 02:15:40,979
Derry, because everybody's going to start... Yes, that was funny.

2258
02:15:41,859 --> 02:15:46,522
And Scaramanga, I mean, you're getting closer with the cheesecake.

2259
02:15:47,903 --> 02:15:50,625
When the thunder is coming through the noise gate, you

2260
02:15:50,685 --> 02:15:55,308
know. You know the weather's fun. So thank you to

2261
02:15:55,608 --> 02:15:58,590
the Parker Polly and everybody who has sent artwork in.

2262
02:15:58,650 --> 02:16:01,913
I see there's already some interesting Mike Riley pieces. Good

2263
02:16:01,953 --> 02:16:04,454
to have him back. Name Kenny Ben was back. Comic

2264
02:16:04,494 --> 02:16:08,677
strip blogger. It's like the old. Art crowd is back.

2265
02:16:08,717 --> 02:16:13,040
Good old days. Yeah. And we very much appreciate that,

2266
02:16:13,160 --> 02:16:16,923
but we also appreciate the people that come in financially,

2267
02:16:17,503 --> 02:16:21,145
and these are real credits. If you come in at

2268
02:16:21,185 --> 02:16:24,608
3:33 or over, you are an executive producer 200 or

2269
02:16:24,768 --> 02:16:30,031
over. Associate executive producer they are indeed. real credits that

2270
02:16:30,071 --> 02:16:33,373
you can use on your imdb page and larry's imdb

2271
02:16:33,714 --> 02:16:36,656
page is very interesting as well God, I haven't even

2272
02:16:36,756 --> 02:16:38,697
looked at that in years. I'll have to take a

2273
02:16:38,737 --> 02:16:40,458
peek. You've got to update it. Make sure it's all

2274
02:16:40,538 --> 02:16:43,000
right. I never do that stuff. I just leave it

2275
02:16:43,020 --> 02:16:48,083
to the fates. Yeah, never. Damn, I'm telling you this

2276
02:16:48,183 --> 02:16:50,465
is a, the thunder's going good here, but we have

2277
02:16:50,925 --> 02:16:53,827
a bunch of people to thank today. We do. And

2278
02:16:53,867 --> 02:16:57,950
I'll start off here with our buddy Ron V, 42,

2279
02:16:58,110 --> 02:17:00,932
coming in from Hoffman Estates, Illinois. I met him at

2280
02:17:00,952 --> 02:17:03,273
the only meetup that I've gone to so far. Oh,

2281
02:17:03,273 --> 02:17:06,175
cool. Nice. Sat across from Ron. He's totally not a

2282
02:17:06,195 --> 02:17:09,177
spook or anything like that. Totally not doing government work.

2283
02:17:09,798 --> 02:17:12,640
Okay. Nothing to worry about whatsoever. He says, in the

2284
02:17:12,700 --> 02:17:15,962
morning, everyone at No Agenda, Ron V here, and I

2285
02:17:16,082 --> 02:17:18,223
bet either Darren I don't know where Larry will be

2286
02:17:18,303 --> 02:17:22,106
reading this. Ooh, he's like Carmack, too. Yeah. I just

2287
02:17:22,166 --> 02:17:25,248
want to state that today, Sunday, August 9th, marks my

2288
02:17:25,428 --> 02:17:28,530
40 years. My wife has put up with me. Well,

2289
02:17:28,610 --> 02:17:34,794
congratulations. Congratulations on that, Ron. Wow. His donation is $404.

2290
02:17:34,874 --> 02:17:37,456
Did I say that? Page not found. Page not found.

2291
02:17:37,536 --> 02:17:39,878
That's what I thought. Yeah, good. Because a marriage like

2292
02:17:39,938 --> 02:17:43,280
this can't be located anywhere else in the wild. 40

2293
02:17:43,360 --> 02:17:48,443
years and still not depreciated. knight or dame territory yet,

2294
02:17:48,503 --> 02:17:51,866
but I'm circling the round table. Congratulations. Give us a

2295
02:17:51,926 --> 02:17:55,708
shout out. Tell my bride she married a legend. Please

2296
02:17:55,768 --> 02:17:59,391
hold down the fort and keep no agenda alive. Oh,

2297
02:17:59,631 --> 02:18:04,254
and one more thing. Boobs! Well, Ron is the real

2298
02:18:04,374 --> 02:18:07,656
deal, Mrs. Ron. He is the real deal. You made

2299
02:18:07,696 --> 02:18:11,899
a good choice. 40 years ago. King Grant Judson. A

2300
02:18:11,999 --> 02:18:17,823
hell of an accomplishment there, 40 years. Yeah. Scott Vance,

2301
02:18:18,844 --> 02:18:26,269
Fallbrook, California. The amount is 333. ITM everyone. I was

2302
02:18:26,289 --> 02:18:30,091
hit, hit him, hit in the mouth, I guess. Yes.

2303
02:18:30,111 --> 02:18:31,652
Of course, hit in the mouth. Over a year ago

2304
02:18:31,732 --> 02:18:34,274
by my friend John Buell and have been listening ever

2305
02:18:34,354 --> 02:18:38,337
since. Please de-douche me. JCD's passing hit me harder than

2306
02:18:38,457 --> 02:18:42,139
I expected. Thank you and God bless you all. Thank

2307
02:18:42,199 --> 02:18:50,985
you, Scott. You've been de-douched. 80 Butters coming in with

2308
02:18:51,105 --> 02:18:57,890
30322 from Tiverton, Rhode Island. And says to the Dvorak

2309
02:18:57,950 --> 02:19:01,832
family, Larry, Darren, and Adam, my donation comes with a

2310
02:19:02,012 --> 02:19:06,555
spirit of gratitude and celebration towards the people who impact

2311
02:19:06,715 --> 02:19:09,777
our lives, including all of you. As I write this

2312
02:19:10,118 --> 02:19:14,981
on Bittersweet88, I think about those we lose often leave

2313
02:19:15,101 --> 02:19:19,484
unexpected signs. Antidote time. To honor Mimi, I finally ordered

2314
02:19:19,524 --> 02:19:22,906
my own copy of Too Many Eggs. It's a great

2315
02:19:22,986 --> 02:19:24,707
book, and you can download it. You can order it

2316
02:19:24,707 --> 02:19:29,951
at too-many-eggs.com, I believe. Of course. It was delivered and

2317
02:19:30,031 --> 02:19:35,294
sat outside unprotected during a Noah's Ark level downpour. While

2318
02:19:35,334 --> 02:19:37,356
my husband was at work and I was out of

2319
02:19:37,436 --> 02:19:40,558
state this week, I was convinced I'd come home to

2320
02:19:40,658 --> 02:19:43,840
a waterlogged mess inside the box, but instead the book

2321
02:19:43,920 --> 02:19:48,143
was pristine. Probably dumb luck, but I'd like to believe

2322
02:19:48,283 --> 02:19:52,866
John's spirit helped ensure I could enjoy Mimi's work. August

2323
02:19:52,946 --> 02:19:56,208
is a bittersweet month for me too, although the anniversary

2324
02:19:56,288 --> 02:19:59,491
of my dad's passing comes this Thursday, I also have

2325
02:19:59,571 --> 02:19:59,991
my 10th birthday.

2326
02:20:00,300 --> 02:20:03,443
wedding anniversary with Sir Knives to look forward to on

2327
02:20:03,603 --> 02:20:09,407
8-27. Well, congratulations. Congratulations. She says, thanks for putting up

2328
02:20:09,467 --> 02:20:12,329
with me for so long, my love. In our own

2329
02:20:12,389 --> 02:20:16,032
little New England JCD Memorial meetup on the 29th, Larry,

2330
02:20:16,132 --> 02:20:18,814
we would be honored if you would even go over

2331
02:20:18,854 --> 02:20:23,178
the border to little Rhodey for that. Oh, wow. Otherwise,

2332
02:20:23,238 --> 02:20:27,901
we hope to see you soon. weather those we care

2333
02:20:27,961 --> 02:20:30,103
about are still with us or not, we can always

2334
02:20:30,163 --> 02:20:32,585
be thankful for them and celebrate the impact that they've

2335
02:20:32,605 --> 02:20:34,526
had on our lives. For now, I'd just like to

2336
02:20:34,566 --> 02:20:36,888
say thank you for reading my note. Thank you to

2337
02:20:36,968 --> 02:20:40,931
the entire No Agenda community for your courage. With so

2338
02:20:41,172 --> 02:20:44,314
much love to all, Lady Butters. Well, thank you, Lady

2339
02:20:44,374 --> 02:20:49,198
Butters. P.S. Attached is the egg book on proud display

2340
02:20:49,278 --> 02:20:52,760
alongside our obnoxiously large dictionary in honor of my fellow

2341
02:20:53,121 --> 02:20:56,023
word nerd, J.C.D. Oh, and that's where it should be.

2342
02:20:57,004 --> 02:20:58,825
Yeah, and I've got to say, I know I have

2343
02:20:58,865 --> 02:21:01,967
the great honor of knowing Lady Butters and Sir Knives.

2344
02:21:01,967 --> 02:21:04,089
I've met them both and talked with them at length

2345
02:21:04,109 --> 02:21:06,791
at a couple of meetups. And they came all the

2346
02:21:06,811 --> 02:21:11,235
way into Higginham, Connecticut, where they happened from Rhode Island.

2347
02:21:11,655 --> 02:21:15,998
And they are spectacular people. She's a complete, just a

2348
02:21:16,659 --> 02:21:19,761
wonderful woman. And Sir Knives, I think, is a very

2349
02:21:19,861 --> 02:21:23,824
dangerous guy. I get the feeling there's more to him

2350
02:21:23,864 --> 02:21:26,126
than he's telling. He knows a lot of stuff, and

2351
02:21:26,166 --> 02:21:29,068
he's a cool dude. So this is a very cool

2352
02:21:29,148 --> 02:21:31,330
thing. And if I can get over to your neck

2353
02:21:31,370 --> 02:21:33,291
of the woods on the 29th, that would be an

2354
02:21:33,332 --> 02:21:35,793
honor. Thank you, ladybug. Well, yeah, it sounds like you

2355
02:21:35,813 --> 02:21:39,116
don't want Sir Knives mad at you. Never. No. No.

2356
02:21:41,137 --> 02:21:45,801
All right, here we go. Manuka Gold, Hudson, Florida. $250

2357
02:21:46,922 --> 02:21:50,845
from the Manuka Gold family. Enjoying the show. We're glad

2358
02:21:50,905 --> 02:21:53,087
it kept going while Adam is on vacation because it

2359
02:21:53,127 --> 02:21:56,129
would leave a big empty hole in our Thursdays and

2360
02:21:56,209 --> 02:21:59,552
Sundays. Darren and Larry, you're doing a great job. And

2361
02:21:59,592 --> 02:22:02,013
we're so glad we found Planet Rage because of you

2362
02:22:02,113 --> 02:22:05,296
two filling in. That's cool. Thank you. And I'm sure

2363
02:22:05,296 --> 02:22:06,957
there are a lot of new listeners who came over

2364
02:22:07,017 --> 02:22:10,760
from Planet Rage. We wanted to mention that at ManukaGold.com,

2365

shipping with their 20% off code, so do not hesitate

2372
02:22:37,626 --> 02:23:00,563
to use the code TREASURE at checkout. going to sound

2373
02:23:00,844 --> 02:23:02,985
like you paid advertisement and it's not but it was

2374
02:23:03,085 --> 02:23:07,028
the most powerful tasting honey usually you know you get

2375
02:23:07,108 --> 02:23:10,071
a very just sugar sweet and then a little honey

2376
02:23:10,171 --> 02:23:13,773
taste yes this is totally the opposite it's still sweet

2377
02:23:14,134 --> 02:23:18,537
but the honey punch is like 33 percent more than

2378
02:23:18,617 --> 02:23:21,820
anything i've ever uh oh i i can't wait because

2379
02:23:21,860 --> 02:23:25,382
i'm a honey freak um i always douse my my

2380
02:23:25,542 --> 02:23:27,504
tea with it every morning i don't drink coffee much

2381
02:23:27,884 --> 02:23:32,308
very rarely But, yeah, so, yeah. And they even have

2382
02:23:32,428 --> 02:23:35,150
a little honey thing for dogs. So unless Moose has

2383
02:23:35,170 --> 02:23:38,312
a problem with honey. I mean, the Moose we know

2384
02:23:38,372 --> 02:23:41,114
is already well taken care of. But now he'll be

2385
02:23:41,155 --> 02:23:44,197
like, oh, yes, honey, please. Maybe he'll be nice to

2386
02:23:44,257 --> 02:23:46,599
me for a change. I wouldn't count on it. No.

2387
02:23:47,840 --> 02:23:53,704
Although the honey is nice. And Hasmeticus II from Manassas,

2388
02:23:53,784 --> 02:23:59,529
Virginia, came in with $223. says, rest in peace, John.

2389
02:23:59,649 --> 02:24:03,031
John's passing hit me harder than expected. It felt like

2390
02:24:03,091 --> 02:24:05,373
losing a friend or perhaps an old teacher. You know,

2391
02:24:05,433 --> 02:24:10,357
that's a, uh... That's a good analog there. Because we

2392
02:24:10,497 --> 02:24:12,999
all learned something from John, whether we wanted to or

2393
02:24:13,059 --> 02:24:16,922
not. He will certainly be missed, he says. Adam, thank

2394
02:24:17,002 --> 02:24:19,624
you for all you do. Please stay on the show.

2395
02:24:20,264 --> 02:24:22,947
Great job, Daryl and Harry. Oh, that's a new one.

2396
02:24:23,007 --> 02:24:25,769
Daryl and Harry. Daryl and Harry. I'll take it. Okay.

2397
02:24:25,989 --> 02:24:30,012
I especially enjoyed Larry's disdain for commies. Good to meet

2398
02:24:30,012 --> 02:24:37,278
you, brother. Try John's ghostly donate. Donate. just go ahead

2399
02:24:37,358 --> 02:24:40,280
and type in donate. Well, that's show up here to

2400
02:24:40,360 --> 02:24:43,802
pick up the donations. And technically, this donation makes me

2401
02:24:43,903 --> 02:24:48,166
a knight. Well, congratulations. Congrats. Congrats. If it pleases the

2402
02:24:48,226 --> 02:24:52,909
council, I shall henceforth be known as Sir Hazmaticus, the

2403
02:24:53,010 --> 02:24:56,092
second knight and slave to the Lord Christ and keeper

2404
02:24:56,172 --> 02:24:59,995
of dogs. You can also add far right white

2405
02:25:00,040 --> 02:25:17,356
Christian nationalist. Well, thank you very much. You've got... Karma.

2406
02:25:20,939 --> 02:25:25,523
Very cool. Okay, up next is Eli the Coffee Guy

2407
02:25:25,743 --> 02:25:30,007
from Bensonville, Illinois. He donated $2.08.

2408
02:25:34,502 --> 02:25:58,550
And Eli says,

2409
02:26:00,080 --> 02:26:04,003
of this community. John's legacy lives on, and the torches

2410
02:26:04,103 --> 02:26:07,425
carry forth by Larry and Darren, the boys over at

2411
02:26:07,445 --> 02:26:10,747
the Millennial Media Offensive, Nick the Rat, and many others

2412
02:26:10,808 --> 02:26:14,890
inspired by the No Agenda show. I'll continue to support

2413
02:26:14,930 --> 02:26:18,873
this show. The value it's brought me is immeasurable. For

Coffee and go meet Eli because he loves coffee so

2421
02:26:52,637 --> 02:26:55,559
much. Even if you don't, it gets contagious. I loved

2422
02:26:55,619 --> 02:26:57,460
watching the people walking by and Eli's like, what do

2426
02:27:05,266 --> 02:27:11,490
think we missed Ara Dardarian, who came in with $210.60.

2427

10 seconds to make an impression. then

2432
02:27:30,080 --> 02:27:32,482
You know, if it's not good, then you need some

02:27:32,522 --> 02:27:35,624
help. That's for damn sure. Most don't. For a resume

02:27:55,016 --> 02:28:00,300
how AI. is affecting that at this point? Yeah, that's

2439
02:28:00,320 --> 02:28:03,342
a great question. Yes. Because I hear now it's like

2440
02:28:03,382 --> 02:28:08,345

2465

expected to cry during show 1880. Had a lump in

2466
02:30:09,586 --> 02:30:12,228
my throat, although sadly I'd never had the chance to

2467
02:30:12,328 --> 02:30:16,171
know him. It felt like he was family. My deepest

2468
02:30:16,231 --> 02:30:20,454
condolences and strength to everyone who held him dear. With

2510
02:33:44,129 --> 02:33:47,211
and everyone else, I'm sorry for your loss. I live

2511
02:33:47,251 --> 02:33:49,673
in El Cerrito, and every time John mentioned a local

2512
02:33:49,753 --> 02:33:53,095
place, I always knew exactly where and what he was

2513
02:33:53,175 --> 02:33:57,298
talking about. Well, that's the danger there when you start

2514
02:33:57,338 --> 02:34:01,861
talking. Yes, of course. Move around a lot. That way

2515
02:34:01,881 --> 02:34:05,703
you can tell stories and people can't find you. Kristen

2522
02:34:38,505 --> 02:34:40,607
the news of your passing was a shock, and I

2523
02:34:40,767 --> 02:34:44,429
cried for someone I never met. Your insight and knowledge

2524
02:34:44,629 --> 02:34:48,692

02:35:06,364 --> 02:35:14,329
been deduced well you've been deduced Says, thank you, Darren

2530
02:35:14,389 --> 02:35:19,072

2531
02:35:19,492 --> 02:35:20,973

2532
02:35:21,033 --> 02:35:24,356

2535
02:35:58,418 --> 02:36:01,600
haven't missed a show. I've also made some great friends

2536
02:36:01,680 --> 02:36:05,243
via several No Agenda meetups. When I began listening, John

2537
02:36:05,283 --> 02:36:07,784
would always start off the show with the Zephyr Report,

2538
02:36:08,565 --> 02:36:12,007
which just happened to be my high school mascot. Therefore,

2539
02:36:12,167 --> 02:36:16,270
please knight me as Sir Zephyr of the Valley, defender

2540
02:36:16,430 --> 02:36:20,773

2542
02:36:24,716 --> 02:36:29,239
Sarah Engel, who turns 28 today, 8-9, to the birthday

2543
02:36:29,339 --> 02:36:32,601
list. Happy birthday to the best daughters a father could

2544
02:36:32,701 --> 02:36:35,923
ask for. Finally, all my love and prayers to the

2545
02:36:35,943 --> 02:36:39,506
Dvorak and Curry families in a time of grief. The

2546
02:36:39,606 --> 02:36:43,088
Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who

2547
02:36:43,168 --> 02:36:50,533
are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34, 18. Richard J. Lindquist

2550
02:37:00,279 --> 02:37:03,982
of your loss and send my sincere condolences. I am

2551
02:37:04,102 --> 02:37:06,904

2566
02:38:23,355 --> 02:38:25,616
I heard the news about John. On my drive home,

2567
02:38:25,736 --> 02:38:28,818
I listened to the show and cried. I haven't cried

2568
02:38:28,838 --> 02:38:32,140
in years. John was like an uncle to me. Even

2569
02:38:32,140 --> 02:38:35,503
though we only ever exchanged a few emails, we all

2570
02:38:35,623 --> 02:38:41,587
loved him. Coming in next, sir, camera Chris with 8888.

02:38:42,467 --> 02:38:46,570
He says, okay, so first PayPal is being really strange.

2572
02:38:46,950 --> 02:38:49,712
Doesn't show that I donated. So if they're like seven

2573
02:38:49,772 --> 02:38:54,415
payments of $88.88, John got me good. If there are

2574
02:38:54,555 --> 02:38:57,357
none, then I really do hate PayPal. Well, it looks

2575
02:38:57,377 --> 02:38:59,138
like there was at least one, so maybe it worked

2576
02:38:59,439 --> 02:39:04,282
all right here. Anyways, here's my note. Baronette Baylor, a.k.a.

2577
02:39:04,562 --> 02:39:09,605
Sir Camera Chris, Grafton, Wisconsin. Birthday shout-out to myself. For

2578
02:39:09,705 --> 02:39:13,408
Monday the 10th, I'll be 33 plus 8. Seems fitting.

2579
02:39:14,188 --> 02:39:16,750
Mimi, you and the kids have been and will continue

2580
02:39:16,830 --> 02:39:19,852
to be in my prayers. You as well as Adam.

2581
02:39:20,433 --> 02:39:23,014
Love and light, John. We sure as hell miss you.

2582
02:39:23,515 --> 02:39:26,997
Thank you for your courage, Sir Camera Chris. Thank you,

2583
02:39:27,077 --> 02:39:31,260
sir. Is this a second from Zadok Brown? It looks

2584
02:39:31,320 --> 02:39:34,702
like it. It looks like it. You said that right

2585
02:39:34,742 --> 02:39:37,924
the first time. Mechawau, is that right? Mechawau? Mechawau? I

2586
02:39:38,004 --> 02:39:41,627
don't know. It's Hawaii. It's like a laid-back dude surfing.

2587
02:39:41,627 --> 02:39:45,489
Yeah, well, it's 8888 and no note, and we thank

2588
02:39:45,549 --> 02:39:49,972
you again, Zadok. Coming in next, Stacey Streen from Fond

2589
02:39:50,713 --> 02:39:55,056

02:39:55,136 --> 02:39:59,759

2594
02:40:15,142 --> 02:40:19,445

2595
02:40:20,846 --> 02:40:25,749
Gina Moley donated $88.88 from Parts Unknown, and she said

2596
02:40:25,829 --> 02:40:29,712

2597

beautiful daughter. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for

02:40:40,739 --> 02:41:20,926
jobs! Actually, what we need is... - Indiana, Sir Becoming

Happy birthday to Sir B. with a Y of the

an emoji heart. Thank you, David. Nice. This is from

2608
02:42:05,495 --> 02:42:11,259
Scott and Denise of Gallatin, Tennessee, 80.09. Adam, Mimi, and

2609
02:42:11,359 --> 02:42:15,942
family, heavy-hearted, doesn't begin to describe our feelings when we

2610
02:42:16,002 --> 02:42:18,684
heard the news. So many memories shared with all of

2611
02:42:18,704 --> 02:42:22,587
you, too. We've chosen to make a donation of $76

2612
02:42:23,087 --> 02:42:26,289
because it took the two of you to celebrate 38

2613
02:42:26,369 --> 02:42:33,154
years. Miss him, Scott and Denise. Thank you. And let's

2614
02:42:33,254 --> 02:42:36,436
see, the next one is Kevin McLaughlin. I thought we

2615
02:42:36,536 --> 02:42:41,639
did. AD08, God bless America and boobs. Another Kevin McLaughlin.

2616
02:42:42,160 --> 02:42:45,042
See, now you're really stomping the one-eyed podcaster. Thank you

2617
02:42:45,402 --> 02:42:48,284
very much. Like, didn't I do this? Oh, no, Concord,

2618
02:42:48,364 --> 02:42:51,426
North Carolina. Had to get the boobs donation in. It

2619
02:42:51,526 --> 02:42:54,608
is very much appreciated, Kevin. Thank you. And again, God

2620
02:42:54,668 --> 02:42:59,431
bless America and boobs. And I took Latin in high

2621
02:42:59,471 --> 02:43:02,713
school for two years. I can't really say more than

2622
02:43:02,753 --> 02:43:06,036
a few words. I can conjugate. Sum est est, sumus

2623
02:43:06,136 --> 02:43:08,557
estesunt. That's like all I can remember. That's very good.

2624
02:43:08,858 --> 02:43:11,799
I'm impressed. From Latin. You could almost be a priest.

2625
02:43:11,839 --> 02:43:16,182
Yeah, except for a few of those other issues. Yeah,

2626
02:43:16,222 --> 02:43:22,066

2629
02:43:30,652 --> 02:43:35,835
Route 66 6-0-0-6 donation. Is that a coincidence? I'm thinking

2630
02:43:35,875 --> 02:43:39,498
maybe not. I love that town, Kingman. Been there a

2631
02:43:39,518 --> 02:43:45,102
bunch of times. Always fun. Leafy Learn of Togo Cho,

2639
02:44:29,631 --> 02:44:34,514
is getting cooked with Craig. Craig Knosley from Cumberland, B.C.,

2640
02:44:35,435 --> 02:44:40,478
Canada, way up there in Kanakistan, came in with $54.30,

2641
02:44:40,518 --> 02:44:44,561
says, Love you guys. No homo. I just finished episode

2642
02:44:44,681 --> 02:44:51,946
33 tonight. episode one. By the time you get all

2643
02:44:51,986 --> 02:44:54,628
the way to where we are now, we'll probably be

2644
02:44:54,728 --> 02:44:58,831
90 years old, Craig. The Night of Nights. I shit

2645
02:44:58,951 --> 02:45:02,893
you not. I wonder if the memorial was recorded. Pretty

2646
02:45:03,013 --> 02:45:07,717
sure JCD would have wanted to monetize it. I don't

2647
02:45:07,817 --> 02:45:11,099
think so. But, I mean, you can always donate in

2648
02:45:11,199 --> 02:45:15,041
his memory, everybody out there. And just imagine what the

2649
02:45:15,161 --> 02:45:17,243
memorial... And there is going to be a public memorial,

2650
02:45:17,323 --> 02:45:20,985
so maybe that one will... will be live streamed or

2651
02:45:21,045 --> 02:45:23,567
something, I don't know. Craig is a cool guy and

2652
02:45:23,607 --> 02:45:26,069
very handy. He built one of the coolest looking or

2653
02:45:26,149 --> 02:45:28,570
hottest looking pizza ovens I've ever seen. I know he

2654
02:45:28,610 --> 02:45:30,972
has some Canadian name for it, a Cobb oven, whatever.

2655
02:45:30,972 --> 02:45:33,213
It looks like a pizza oven to me, and congratulations.

2656
02:45:33,354 --> 02:45:35,375
Very nice. And it is, and every time he shows

2657
02:45:35,495 --> 02:45:37,416
food, I'm like, how long does it take us to

2658
02:45:37,476 --> 02:45:41,699
get from Chirac to there? Exactly. It always looks great.

2659
02:45:42,199 --> 02:45:47,123
Always does. Ian McAfee, Ian W. McAfee, excuse me, from

2660

2667
02:46:34,935 --> 02:46:38,757
deeply touching and devastating at the same time I cried

2668
02:46:38,777 --> 02:46:42,319
many times. Sending love to the No Agenda family and

2669
02:46:42,399 --> 02:46:48,063

02:50:46,835 --> 02:50:51,599
is turning three today. A happy birthday to Sir Camera

2726
02:50:51,679 --> 02:50:57,983
Chris. And Dame Tony House wishes Sir B with a

2727
02:50:58,383 --> 02:51:12,973
Y of the flying chicken. Happy Birthday to you. Where

2728
02:51:12,973 --> 02:51:14,954
some of those names come from, I don't even want

2729
02:51:14,974 --> 02:51:17,036
to know. I don't know. But they're cool. We dig

2730
02:51:17,056 --> 02:51:21,238
them. Yes, they are. And now we have some meetup

2731
02:51:21,319 --> 02:51:38,750
reports where we have plenty. of Meetup Reports. Let me

2732
02:51:38,810 --> 02:51:41,472
get the audio. We have got 10 meetups. The JCD

2733
02:51:41,752 --> 02:51:47,436
Memorial meetups were plentiful, which is beautiful. And all of

2734
02:51:47,636 --> 02:51:51,079
the folks that sent in the meetup reports, I'm expecting

2735
02:51:51,099 --> 02:51:53,040
a lot more on Thursday. There were a few that

2736
02:51:53,100 --> 02:51:56,482
were worried about the audio. Never worry about the audio.

2737
02:51:56,962 --> 02:52:01,345
It is about the spirit of the thing. And first

2738
02:52:01,425 --> 02:52:08,610
we have the Kala Pooja brewing in Albany, Oregon. And

2739
02:52:08,650 --> 02:52:10,391
they said it was a great crowd. The tone was

2740
02:52:10,472 --> 02:52:14,134
somber, but they still had a great time discussing our

2741
02:52:14,254 --> 02:52:21,019
favorite memories of JCD from Sir M. Madson of the

2742
02:52:21,079 --> 02:52:25,281
Mid-Valley. This is Sir M. Madson of the Mid-Valley coming

2743
02:52:25,342 --> 02:52:28,924
to you from the Albany, Oregon meetup at Calipuya Brewing.

2744
02:52:28,924 --> 02:52:30,745
It was a great time had by all. I'm just

2745
02:52:30,765 --> 02:52:34,308
going to pass around the phone. ITM, and we miss

2746
02:52:34,328 --> 02:52:39,951
you, John. In the morning, JCDRIP. Hey, this is Libby.

2747
02:52:40,031 --> 02:52:41,773
We came all the way from Coos Bay, which is

2748
02:52:41,793 --> 02:52:45,215
about three hours away for this meetup. Thank you to

2749
02:52:45,295 --> 02:52:51,579
Sir M for putting it on and Dame Drea for

2750
02:52:51,619 --> 02:52:54,281
encouraging him to put it on. And this has been

2751
02:52:54,301 --> 02:52:58,084
a really awesome meetup. John and Pat at the meetup

2752
02:52:58,524 --> 02:53:05,589
honoring JCD. Love to you, Mamie. Hey, this is Sir

2753
02:53:05,689 --> 02:53:10,052
Victor Barron of the Willamette Valley. I think we have

2754
02:53:10,172 --> 02:53:15,055
about 16 people here in Albany, Oregon. In the morning,

2755
02:53:15,135 --> 02:53:18,617
this is Sir David Adama. It's my first meetup and

2756
02:53:18,697 --> 02:53:23,020
it's going great. Hopefully no agenda continues for a long

2757
02:53:23,100 --> 02:53:26,062
time. Sir Jules of Lut here. This is my first

2758
02:53:26,102 --> 02:53:28,804
meetup too. Not exactly the reason why I wanted to

2759
02:53:28,804 --> 02:53:32,627
attend a meetup, but glad I came. In the morning.

2760
02:53:33,547 --> 02:53:36,629
Oh, ITM, it's Betty. In the morning, this is Jeff.

2761
02:53:37,210 --> 02:53:41,613
In the morning, RIP JCD. In the morning, we had

2762
02:53:41,653 --> 02:53:45,696
a great meetup and we will miss you, John. And

2763
02:53:45,876 --> 02:53:50,599
Adam, we love you. All right. In the morning, John,

2764
02:53:50,619 --> 02:53:52,960
you're going to be missed by all of us. Thank

2765
02:53:53,040 --> 02:53:55,942
you so much for everything. And thanks to the Dvorak

2766
02:53:56,062 --> 02:53:58,684
family for sharing with us for so long in the

2767
02:53:58,704 --> 02:54:08,991
morning. R DJ CDs! Nice. Then up next on the

2768
02:54:09,031 --> 02:54:12,494
list, the local 512 meetup put together by Sir Scott,

2769
02:54:12,574 --> 02:54:15,836
the Black Viscount of the No Agenda Armory. He said

2770
02:54:15,836 --> 02:54:18,638
there were close to 40 people. He clipped it as

2771
02:54:18,718 --> 02:54:20,699
tight as he could, but it's a bit long. That's

2772
02:54:20,739 --> 02:54:23,241
okay. He says, wish that Adam and Tina were here.

2773
02:54:23,361 --> 02:54:27,063
Please give my love and prayers to the Dvorak family.

2774
02:54:27,103 --> 02:54:31,306
And here's what that one sounds like. This is Viscount

2775
02:54:31,366 --> 02:54:35,869
Scott of the Armory doing our JCD Memorial meetup in

2776
02:54:36,089 --> 02:54:39,031
Sunset Valley, Texas. We miss you. Hey, this is Sir

2777
02:54:39,091 --> 02:54:42,634
Matt Wells, Black Knight of the Austin Petty Cabbies, coming

2778
02:54:42,674 --> 02:54:46,737
to you from the JCD Memorial Meetup at Docks in

2779
02:54:46,817 --> 02:54:50,039
Sunset Valley, Texas, and just want to remind everybody to

2780
02:54:50,299 --> 02:54:53,381
stay safe and paint your roof blue. In the morning,

2781
02:54:53,441 --> 02:54:57,304
Baroness Salva Austin here. All my financial assets are frozen

2782
02:54:57,384 --> 02:55:00,526
until I can get a Zephyr report. It's Mike from

2783
02:55:01,526 --> 02:55:05,069
the DC Spook, or that's what John C. DeVore called

2784
02:55:05,089 --> 02:55:07,731
me. And I just want to say, we miss John,

2785
02:55:08,951 --> 02:55:15,676
Adam, Mimi, the DeVore clan, where you feel your loss.

2786
02:55:16,396 --> 02:55:19,078
This is Dirty Dirty Whore. Y'all be good. This is

2787
02:55:19,398 --> 02:55:24,522
Baron Dutch Cox, RIP, ITM, JCD. Whore one out for

2788
02:55:24,562 --> 02:55:29,946
JCD. Whore all aboard. Love you, JCD. you up in

2789
02:55:29,986 --> 02:55:33,108
heaven. In the morning, this is Michael. The show will

2790
02:55:33,108 --> 02:55:36,650
never be the same without John. Sean Ryan from Valencia.

2791
02:55:36,790 --> 02:55:40,473
In the morning to you. Miss JCD. He was my

2792
02:55:40,973 --> 02:55:45,916
pessimistic, critical thinking mentor. In the world of touchscreens and

2793
02:55:46,076 --> 02:55:49,659
iPhones, John was right about the mouse. Hey, it's Sir

2794
02:55:49,739 --> 02:55:51,440
Brian with an I. Just want to let you know

2795
02:55:51,540 --> 02:55:54,262
that NewsGuard reduced the score of the New York Times

2796
02:55:54,322 --> 02:55:58,024
for their credibility after I told them about John's birthday.

2797
02:55:59,045 --> 02:56:04,429
In the morning. Dame G Money here driving in from

2798
02:56:04,509 --> 02:56:08,752
Mineral Wells to get that good old-fashioned Hitman Asian connection.

2799
02:56:09,352 --> 02:56:12,074
Hello my name is Shoshana I'm here with Dame G

2800
02:56:13,215 --> 02:56:16,117
I went to college with her before but I'm having

2801
02:56:16,297 --> 02:56:22,781
a blast. And this is Aaron here in Austin. We

2802
02:56:22,821 --> 02:56:25,583
got our two human resources and we're happy to be

2803
02:56:25,723 --> 02:56:29,165
here. Happy to be here in the morning. Hey, this

2804
02:56:29,205 --> 02:56:33,068
is Baron Alex Zavala out of Kiley, Texas. RIP, John.

2805
02:56:33,468 --> 02:56:37,311
In the morning, Andrew from Austin. Not a douchebag. First

2806
02:56:37,351 --> 02:56:39,452
time meet up, though. Hey, this is Brendan from Local

2807
02:56:39,452 --> 02:56:42,534
512 saying in the morning. Sorry about your friend, Adam.

2808
02:56:42,814 --> 02:56:47,398
Long live the buzzkill from Black Game Local. So in

2809
02:56:47,458 --> 02:56:49,719
the morning, Noah and Jenda Nation, we are at the

2810
02:56:49,779 --> 02:56:55,823
meet up for Buzzkill's memorial at Sunset Valley. Even though

2811
02:56:55,863 --> 02:56:58,665
he has gone to the chaise lounge in the sky,

2812
02:56:59,105 --> 02:57:03,849
we'll continue to leave his legacy. I'm Priscilla. I'm Vega's

2813
02:57:03,929 --> 02:57:07,311
wife. And we wish all the families the best of

2814
02:57:07,491 --> 02:57:15,556
luck. And we always have our prayers. And kids, please

2815
02:57:15,637 --> 02:57:20,800
say-- This is Whitney from Docs in Texas. I got

2816
02:57:20,940 --> 02:57:25,043
ants in my pants. My name is... Serenity now. It's

2817
02:57:25,103 --> 02:57:28,485
been great. Got a lot of people I haven't seen

2818
02:57:28,565 --> 02:57:32,788
in forever. Had a great time. Hey, this is Kristen

2819
02:57:32,828 --> 02:57:35,210
in the morning. I miss you, JCD. Thanks, Adam, for

2820
02:57:35,230 --> 02:57:37,972
everything. Love you guys. Calls and prayers are with you,

2821
02:57:38,052 --> 02:57:41,114

2824
02:57:49,259 --> 02:57:52,781
45 years of KCD was not enough for me. See

2825
02:57:52,781 --> 02:57:55,944
you in the afterlife, KCD. All right, guys. My name

2826
02:57:56,064 --> 02:57:58,846
is Wes. I'm Greg Roski, a bartender at Doc's. I'm

2827
02:57:58,906 --> 02:58:00,607
taking care of the NO Agenda group. Seem like some

2828
02:58:00,607 --> 02:58:03,789
good guys taking care of me. Cool group of people

2829
02:58:03,809 --> 02:58:14,036
to meet, man. Tracy D. Man, I think if we

2830
02:58:14,396 --> 02:58:17,678
ever do a meetup, it should be in Texas. Definitely.

2831
02:58:17,718 --> 02:58:20,900
They've got the spirit. Big time. They're having way too

2832
02:58:20,960 --> 02:58:24,223
much fun. Yeah. I liked a lot of names that

2833
02:58:24,283 --> 02:58:27,865
I recognize in there. Thanks for recording that. Thanks for

2834
02:58:27,925 --> 02:58:30,547
sending that in. And thanks for paying tribute to JCD.

2835
02:58:30,807 --> 02:58:35,350
Up next is the Memphis JCD Tribute Meetup that was

2836
02:58:35,410 --> 02:58:39,393
put together by Commodore Tech Guy Ty. In the morning,

2837
02:58:39,433 --> 02:58:43,035
no agenda nation. This is Commodore Tech Guy Ty at

2838
02:58:43,155 --> 02:58:47,318
High cotton brewing. We're at the Memphis JCD Memorial Meetup.

2839
02:58:47,438 --> 02:58:51,321
In the morning, Sir Nine, forever grateful for the recalibration

2840
02:58:51,481 --> 02:58:56,744
of my BS detector from... John C. Dvorak, memory eternal.

2841
02:58:57,185 --> 02:59:00,827
With deepest sympathies in the morning for miles. Nick here,

2842
02:59:01,147 --> 02:59:03,309
love you guys. I love my truck and I love

2843
02:59:03,349 --> 02:59:07,832
what I do. Sir Maggot, having a hard time following

2844
02:59:07,872 --> 02:59:11,554
that up. Love you guys. Dame Shell sending love and

2845
02:59:11,614 --> 02:59:14,656
light to all of you. Thank you for your courage,

2846
02:59:14,736 --> 02:59:18,719
JCD. We are mourning in the morning. Thank you so

2847
02:59:18,819 --> 02:59:23,022
much, JCD. You are not forgotten. Here, sir, no please.

2848
02:59:23,642 --> 02:59:26,284
Thank you for all that you've done, JCD. Long live

2849
02:59:26,364 --> 02:59:31,168
JCD. In the morning. In the morning! A lot of

2850
02:59:31,168 --> 02:59:36,011
closure going on all around the world. Definitely. Including up

2851
02:59:36,151 --> 02:59:39,613
next year, we have the Perth No Agenda Producers JCD

2852
02:59:39,833 --> 02:59:43,456
Tribute Meetup. They say our sincere condolences for John's passing.

2853
02:59:44,116 --> 02:59:47,058
Our meetup was a mix of celebrating John's life with

2854
02:59:47,178 --> 02:59:50,340
fond memories and laughs, as well as a somber tribute

2855
02:59:50,380 --> 02:59:54,203
to a man we all respected and admired. Stay strong,

2856
02:59:54,263 --> 02:59:57,905
brother. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves

2857
02:59:57,986 --> 02:59:59,947
those who are crushed in spirit.

2858
03:00:00,320 --> 03:00:03,482
and they included a photo and two of the guys

2859
03:00:03,562 --> 03:00:09,907
wearing the photo of JCD that giving the salute with

2860
03:00:10,167 --> 03:00:12,728
big text on the top that said, it's a scam.

2861
03:00:13,249 --> 03:00:15,390
I love it. No agenda shop. You need to make

2862
03:00:15,450 --> 03:00:20,293
those. Those were cool. Yes. Oh, JC, in the morning,

2863
03:00:20,534 --> 03:00:23,055
we're really going to miss you. You're the uncle that

2864
03:00:23,175 --> 03:00:26,818
I never had. Thank you for the wisdom. Thank you

2865
03:00:26,858 --> 03:00:29,920
for the guidance. Thank you for the many, many stories.

2866
03:00:30,000 --> 03:00:34,303
to miss your brother and to Adam and the family

2867
03:00:34,923 --> 03:00:36,764
all the best and we're all going to support you

2868
03:00:37,445 --> 03:00:42,268
no agenda thrown through take care It's the greatest scam

2869
03:00:43,029 --> 03:00:46,971
in the universe! Dvorak, the world is a worse place

2870
03:00:47,051 --> 03:00:50,053
without you in it. May the slaves aspire to your

2871
03:00:50,113 --> 03:00:53,195
greatness. Come on mate, come back to us John. It's

2872
03:00:53,255 --> 03:00:56,698
all a scam. You were right. In the morning, thanks

2873
03:00:56,698 --> 03:00:59,920
Adam and JCD. In the morning, this is Sir Richard

2874
03:01:00,540 --> 03:01:04,583
Valens down under. Mimi, Adam and family, love is lit.

2875
03:01:05,103 --> 03:01:10,207
This is bullcrap. In the morning, for John C. Dvorak,

2876
03:01:11,448 --> 03:01:18,732
what a legend. cold, wet day in the morning. In

2877
03:01:18,732 --> 03:01:22,495
the morning, very much sad about the times that we're

2878
03:01:22,535 --> 03:01:27,118
in. JCB picked a good time to exit and commissioned

2879
03:01:27,118 --> 03:01:31,541
submissions to Adam and families and Mimi and families and

2880
03:01:31,881 --> 03:01:34,763
yeah, made the show go on in some format in

2881
03:01:34,803 --> 03:01:38,345
the morning. In the morning, Mimi, we're so sorry for

2882
03:01:38,405 --> 03:01:40,707
you and your family and the loss of JCB must

2883
03:01:40,807 --> 03:01:43,749
be so hard for you right now. But Adam, we

2884
03:01:43,829 --> 03:01:47,812
feel for you too. We're here celebrating JCB's life with

2885
03:01:47,812 --> 03:01:51,394
a great group of In The Morning people and we

2886
03:01:51,494 --> 03:01:55,076
love you and In The Morning from Australia. In The

2887
03:01:55,117 --> 03:01:58,539
Morning, this is producer Vangelie. I just want to say

2888
03:01:58,599 --> 03:02:02,061
in memory of John, Captain, my Captain, you've led us

2889
03:02:02,181 --> 03:02:06,024
through different ways of thinking. You've led us through difficult

2890
03:02:06,064 --> 03:02:10,207
times and we have all the fondest of memories and

2891
03:02:10,227 --> 03:02:14,169
this meet-up is in special dedication to everything that you've

2892
03:02:14,189 --> 03:02:23,615
done, We've left the world a much better place. You're

2893
03:02:23,695 --> 03:02:27,578
not wrong about that. Those Aussies, they're cool, man. They

2894
03:02:27,578 --> 03:02:30,280
know how to party, too, just like Texas. They do,

2895
03:02:30,600 --> 03:02:35,503
yeah. Next up, Hamilton, Ontario, the JCD Tribute Meetup. Three

2896
03:02:35,563 --> 03:02:37,925
of us had a small but very enjoyable meetup at

2897
03:02:37,945 --> 03:02:43,489
the Fool and Flagon Pub in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Attaches

2898
03:02:43,529 --> 03:02:46,090
the audio. Big thank you to Sir Dwight the Knight

2899
03:02:46,611 --> 03:02:49,613
for organizing it, and it was sent in by Sir

2900
03:02:49,673 --> 03:02:52,815
Chris. In the morning, this is Sir Dwight the Knight

2901
03:02:52,995 --> 03:02:59,099
at the Hamilton Memorial for JCD meetup. And we all

2902
03:02:59,159 --> 03:03:02,241
miss you, John. Everybody stay strong, and thank you for

2903
03:03:02,281 --> 03:03:03,962
your courage. I'm going to pass the phone around now.

2904
03:03:05,483 --> 03:03:09,066
In the morning, this is Keneil from Hamilton, Ontario meetup

2905
03:03:09,766 --> 03:03:14,149
and I'm gonna miss John and I'm gonna miss his

2906
03:03:14,729 --> 03:03:18,492
humor and wit and yeah, I will remember you as

2907
03:03:18,592 --> 03:03:22,254
long as we listen to this show. And finally, this

2908
03:03:22,375 --> 03:03:26,798
is Sir Chris, also Hamilton, Ontario. Rest in power, JCD.

2909
03:03:27,058 --> 03:03:29,479
Thank you for your courage and just one final question.

2910
03:03:29,579 --> 03:03:33,882
Is this gonna delay the vinegar book? It's being rolled

2911
03:03:34,002 --> 03:03:38,065
into another Dvorak family cookbook, from what I understand. That's

2912
03:03:38,125 --> 03:03:40,747
cool. I didn't know that. If what I heard correctly

2913
03:03:40,847 --> 03:03:44,629
during one of those of the tribute shows, if anybody

2914
03:03:44,669 --> 03:03:49,072
hasn't gotten through the longer of the tribute shows, they

2915
03:03:49,132 --> 03:03:51,154
are well worth it. Just break them up. A lot

2916
03:03:51,214 --> 03:03:54,636
of great stories, a lot of great information. And, yeah,

2917
03:03:54,656 --> 03:03:56,657
the vinegar book was real. It was just, I think,

2918
03:03:57,578 --> 03:03:59,379
it was Mimi that said it was more of a

2919
03:03:59,499 --> 03:04:02,621
pamphlet than a book. I heard that. I remember her

2920
03:04:02,641 --> 03:04:04,763
saying. that yeah i think it makes sense i mean

2921
03:04:04,823 --> 03:04:07,344
it's vinegar go to get too many eggs too many

2922
03:04:07,405 --> 03:04:11,387
eggs.com start there and then move on. The next one

2923
03:04:11,407 --> 03:04:16,190
is Wilmington, Delaware, Remembering JCD Meetup. It says, Hi, Adam.

2924
03:04:16,250 --> 03:04:19,292
This is our meetup report for Remembering JCD from Wilmington,

2925
03:04:19,372 --> 03:04:23,035
Delaware. Thank you for everything you do. You are an

2926
03:04:23,375 --> 03:04:28,258
angel. We're here for the meetup at Delaware Park in

2927
03:04:28,298 --> 03:04:32,121
Wilmington, Delaware. My name's Josh. Checking in. Amy, checking in.

2928
03:04:33,322 --> 03:04:39,126
Sarcastic nomad. Love you, mean it, no homo. Ed from

2929
03:04:39,186 --> 03:04:43,508
downtown, RIP JCD and thanks for a good run to

2930
03:04:43,568 --> 03:04:48,952
Mooncash. Yes. Yeah, definitely a good run. Nobody can argue

2931
03:04:49,012 --> 03:04:53,235
that. Up next, the Sonoma Wino Country Meetup, which I

2932
03:04:53,415 --> 03:04:57,978
like. 10.0, I don't know if that just keeps Windows.

2933
03:04:58,038 --> 03:05:01,661
Windows 10, is that what that's like? Probably, yeah. In

2934
03:05:01,741 --> 03:05:05,503
the morning, Adam, Sir Zolbot made a little hiccup on

2935
03:05:05,563 --> 03:05:07,905
his... Oh, I took care of that. I did the

2936
03:05:08,025 --> 03:05:12,027
editing, so you don't have to. Oh, wow. Let's see.

2937
03:05:12,168 --> 03:05:16,831
Thank you for your courage, Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II.

2938
03:05:18,031 --> 03:05:21,133
In the morning, this is Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II

2939
03:05:21,174 --> 03:05:28,699
here at Sonoma County Meetup 10.0, reminiscent about JCD. This

2940
03:05:28,779 --> 03:05:31,640
is Sir Reesmeister. We love you, John. We all miss

2941
03:05:31,701 --> 03:05:35,823
you. This is a dude named Ben named Ben Duke

2942
03:05:35,843 --> 03:05:39,085
of San Francisco. John, you will be missed. It won't

2943
03:05:39,125 --> 03:05:41,767
be the same without you. And there won't be as

2944
03:05:41,847 --> 03:05:47,191
much laughter on Sundays, that's for sure. Good afternoon. Tim

2945
03:05:47,411 --> 03:05:51,914
Freeman, not a night, not a douche. Placerville, California. RIP,

2946
03:05:52,114 --> 03:05:58,418
John. Sir Zulvat here and we hope that we're right

2947
03:05:58,478 --> 03:06:02,781
back where we started at the meetup. First place we

2948
03:06:02,881 --> 03:06:07,965
ever met up here in Sonoma County. We just hope

2949
03:06:08,045 --> 03:06:12,007
that John C. Dvorak understands how much we loved him.

2950
03:06:15,370 --> 03:06:17,931
Sir Robertson of Two Sticks here. Thanks for the memories,

2951
03:06:17,991 --> 03:06:20,533
John. It was a pleasure to meet you on several

2952
03:06:20,553 --> 03:06:27,418
occasions. Lydia of the Shire here on 888, the perfect

2953
03:06:27,518 --> 03:06:33,121
day to send love and light to JCD. Rest in

2954
03:06:33,281 --> 03:06:40,887
peace, JCD. Very nicely done. Really, yes. Then we have

2955
03:06:40,967 --> 03:06:45,710
the Denver Love It, Love Is Lit JCD Memorial Meetup.

2956
03:06:45,730 --> 03:06:48,692
It says, in the morning, Podfather kind of edited. Sorry

2957
03:06:48,752 --> 03:06:55,416
about the background noise, sir Vito. I need some vino

2958
03:06:55,596 --> 03:06:58,398
to be able to say sir Vito. And never worry

2959
03:06:58,458 --> 03:07:00,480
about the background noise. There's nothing you can do when

2960
03:07:00,540 --> 03:07:02,641
you go into a bar or wherever you're meeting. And

2961
03:07:02,661 --> 03:07:07,965
if there's music, it doesn't matter. Hey, folks. Live out

2962
03:07:08,025 --> 03:07:12,087
here in Denver City Park. Got the love is lit

2963
03:07:12,147 --> 03:07:16,070
for JCD Memorial Meetup. Gonna pass the phone around. This

2964
03:07:16,130 --> 03:07:20,813
is Elise. We're missing the Colorado Care Bear and Jim

2965
03:07:21,073 --> 03:07:26,457
tonight. And we will miss you forever, JCD. This is

2966
03:07:26,537 --> 03:07:29,539
Brian, also known as Sir Soothsayer. John, I'm going to

2967
03:07:29,579 --> 03:07:32,941
miss you. I will for always remember you as the

2968
03:07:32,981 --> 03:07:35,943
guy who always screamed, I get no spam. This is

2969
03:07:36,003 --> 03:07:40,506
Colin. Missing you, John, and Club 33, and your squeaky

2970
03:07:40,566 --> 03:07:45,910
chair in the morning. This is Sir European Stephen, as

2971
03:07:45,990 --> 03:07:50,633
my neighbors call me Stephen. It's actually Stephan. But, yeah.

2972
03:07:51,514 --> 03:07:55,996
ITM. Thank you, John, for your courage. This is very

2973
03:07:56,057 --> 03:07:59,159
gringo. You're an inspiration for anybody who wants to get

2974
03:07:59,199 --> 03:08:03,782
into entertainment. Keep it up. God bless. This is Sir

2975
03:08:03,822 --> 03:08:06,624
Scott pouring one out to John, who kept myself and

2976
03:08:06,884 --> 03:08:08,545
so many others from being a part of the six-week

2977
03:08:08,605 --> 03:08:12,307
cycle. JCD, I love you. You changed my life. Stay

2978
03:08:12,387 --> 03:08:15,429
safe in the next round. And yeah, he was an

2979
03:08:15,449 --> 03:08:21,393
entertainer. Above and beyond comedic timing, had the wit. I

2980
03:08:21,433 --> 03:08:23,775
would have gone to see J.C.D. do stand-up. That would

2981
03:08:23,815 --> 03:08:27,758
have been... That would have been trippy. Very different style.

2982
03:08:27,778 --> 03:08:30,039
Or you think it would be like Bobby Slayton, you

2983
03:08:30,039 --> 03:08:32,981
know, just do the... No, I'm thinking him like Stephen

2984
03:08:33,061 --> 03:08:35,823
Wright. More like that. Yeah, mixed with Miller maybe, you

2985
03:08:35,883 --> 03:08:43,828
know? Yeah. Up next, the Snohomish Washington JCD Memorial Meetup.

2986
03:08:44,889 --> 03:08:47,191
This tried to take out the silence. Oh, it's a

2987
03:08:47,251 --> 03:08:50,092
little orgy. Thank you. No worry. Everybody's worried about the

2988
03:08:50,153 --> 03:08:53,395
silence or the background noise. We just want to hear

2989
03:08:53,595 --> 03:08:56,116
what was going on and how much fun you were

2990
03:08:56,176 --> 03:09:01,100
having reminiscing about the late, great JCD. In the morning,

2991
03:09:01,140 --> 03:09:03,701
this is Warrior News. Reaching out from the Snohomish medium

2992
03:09:04,102 --> 03:09:06,203
that our wonderful Dame hosted, which is awesome. Thank you

2993
03:09:06,223 --> 03:09:09,045
so much. And I'll pass the phone down. John, thanks

2994
03:09:09,045 --> 03:09:10,726
for a lot of great years. I wasn't around for

2995
03:09:10,746 --> 03:09:11,867
a lot of them, but the few of them that

2996
03:09:11,867 --> 03:09:14,929
I was around for were definitely great. Adam, keep going.

2997
03:09:14,949 --> 03:09:19,212
We appreciate you, man. And just Adam, Philippians 3.13. That's

2998
03:09:19,232 --> 03:09:25,096
Philippians 3.13. And for John, some of the clips I'm

2999
03:09:25,116 --> 03:09:30,199
going to remember are when he's really stoned. Hey, man.

3000
03:09:31,880 --> 03:09:35,583
And also when he went to Mark Levin. And either

3001
03:09:35,643 --> 03:09:39,685
way, cheers. Appreciate it. All right. ITM, everybody. Miss you,

3002
03:09:39,725 --> 03:09:43,348
John. This is Joe in Snohomish. Thanks. Sir Benrose here.

3003
03:09:43,368 --> 03:09:47,030
They finally got me out of the house. Whoa, whoa,

3004
03:09:47,050 --> 03:09:50,573
whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, Benrose left the house? Can you

3005
03:09:50,673 --> 03:09:53,034
imagine that? You've got to play this again. I've got

3006
03:09:53,274 --> 03:09:55,976
to back this up. I did not know you had

3007
03:09:56,036 --> 03:09:59,338
a Sir Benrose sighting at this meetup. Wow. And he

3008
03:09:59,799 --> 03:09:59,979
was.

3009
03:10:00,993 --> 03:10:04,995
very much like JCD's illegitimate child. I'm telling you. He

3010
03:10:05,316 --> 03:10:08,037
was very much like JCD in a lot of ways.

3011
03:10:09,638 --> 03:10:11,880
Sir Bemrose here. They finally got me out of the

3012
03:10:11,940 --> 03:10:15,222
house. So this is me podcasting into some dude's phone.

3013
03:10:15,502 --> 03:10:18,344
ITM. Teresa from St. Homish. We'll miss you, John. Good

3014
03:10:18,404 --> 03:10:21,606
luck and Godspeed, JCD. Raise a glass of Kirkland Bordeaux

3015
03:10:21,646 --> 03:10:23,568
when you get there for all of us. Sir Jack

3016
03:10:23,688 --> 03:10:31,893
Ash here. Narcissist Sasquatch. Just remembering JCD on 8-8-20. Appreciate

3017
03:10:31,933 --> 03:10:37,757
you. Appreciate everything you did. And yeah, Godspeed. This is

3018
03:10:37,817 --> 03:10:42,440
Savannah Hernandez wrapping up the meetup. And we appreciate everything

3019
03:10:42,480 --> 03:10:44,982
you guys do. And we're happy to meet everybody here

3020
03:10:45,142 --> 03:10:47,243
in St. Thomas. Yeah, that sounds like a good time.

3021
03:10:47,984 --> 03:10:51,947
It certainly does. And last but certainly not least on

3022
03:10:52,007 --> 03:10:57,310
the meetups for this show, Central Jersey meetup on 8-8-2026.

3023
03:10:57,550 --> 03:11:01,073
ITM with a U. We had another great meetup honoring

3024
03:11:01,133 --> 03:11:05,716
JCD. The amazing thing is how everyone is so impacted

3025
03:11:05,916 --> 03:11:08,858
by this loss. Darren and Larry are doing a great

3026
03:11:08,918 --> 03:11:11,920
job. Well, thank you. Thank you. John can never be

3027
03:11:12,000 --> 03:11:15,542
replaced. We agree. It was great hearing Adam's voice on

3028
03:11:15,702 --> 03:11:20,606
Thursday's show. Thank you for your courage. Still devastated. Sir

3029
03:11:21,066 --> 03:11:29,311
R. Daniels Viscount slash Commodore. This is Sir R. Daniels

3030
03:11:29,371 --> 03:11:32,293
with pronouns Viscount and Commodore coming at you from the

3031
03:11:32,313 --> 03:11:36,616
3BR Distillery in Keyport, New Jersey, where we are certainly

3032
03:11:36,836 --> 03:11:41,720
in the morning with a U. This is Dave, RIP

3033
03:11:41,960 --> 03:11:44,722
to the best part of twit. Thank you for giving

3034
03:11:44,782 --> 03:11:50,265
us the courage to think. This is Bart, RIP JCD,

3035
03:11:50,626 --> 03:11:53,608
and this is from New Jersey where we've had rigged

3036
03:11:53,628 --> 03:11:58,811
elections for decades. This is Brian. John, we'll miss you,

3037
03:11:58,831 --> 03:12:06,416
buddy. This is Jay. Missing John C. Dworak already in

3038
03:12:06,456 --> 03:12:12,660
the morning. This is MKUltramark checking in from the Central

3039
03:12:12,760 --> 03:12:16,142
New Jersey meetup and we are morning in the morning.

3040
03:12:19,044 --> 03:12:23,087
This is Sir Nobody. Warning John and still confused that

3041
03:12:23,147 --> 03:12:24,768
people have showed up at my bar to drink with

3042
03:12:24,908 --> 03:12:29,571
me. In the morning, this is Dame She Fine. We're

3043
03:12:29,631 --> 03:12:33,614
hydrating at 3BR and just remembering John and I'll never

3044
03:12:33,654 --> 03:12:36,776
be able to do a Fistnuts again without thinking of

3045
03:12:36,816 --> 03:12:42,120
John C. Hi, this is Alex. Thank you all for

3046
03:12:42,180 --> 03:12:47,183
coming to my distillery. Hey, this is Sir Voip of

3047
03:12:47,223 --> 03:12:50,005
the Jersey Shore. I lost two great voices in my

3048
03:12:50,125 --> 03:12:53,227
life this year. John Sterling of the New York Yankees

3049
03:12:53,607 --> 03:13:03,974
and now JCD. What an amazing bunch of meetup reports.

3050
03:13:04,615 --> 03:13:07,297
Really? We know we'll have a bunch of them on

3051
03:13:07,357 --> 03:13:09,898
the next show because there were a lot of the

3052
03:13:10,038 --> 03:13:12,720
8-8 meetup reports. I mean, hey, if you can edit

3053
03:13:12,740 --> 03:13:17,203
them, that's great, but... We're not judging you based upon

3054
03:13:18,124 --> 03:13:21,906
sound quality here. No. And it's just beautiful to hear

3055
03:13:22,046 --> 03:13:26,049
everybody remembering John. I mean, I don't know. It's always

3056
03:13:26,169 --> 03:13:31,272
interesting when somebody like John passes, if he realized the

3057
03:13:31,493 --> 03:13:35,976
impact that he had on people. Yeah. And he doesn't

3058
03:13:36,036 --> 03:13:38,237
seem like he had a big ego or anything. No.

3059
03:13:38,257 --> 03:13:40,739
I think he knew. Not at all. No. I think

3060
03:13:40,779 --> 03:13:44,621
he might even be a little surprised by the massive

3061
03:13:44,641 --> 03:13:49,224
amount of outpouring because he was everybody's, you know, uncle

3062
03:13:49,385 --> 03:13:52,086
or father figure or somebody. It's like, I'd go to

3063
03:13:52,166 --> 03:13:56,389
JCD for advice. Sure. And, of course, he always ripped

3064
03:13:56,449 --> 03:14:00,932
my artwork on the show. And then in the emails,

3065
03:14:01,553 --> 03:14:05,195
he was always so complimentary. I mean, although Adam was

3066
03:14:05,615 --> 03:14:07,697
dissing me at the time you and I start doing

3067
03:14:07,777 --> 03:14:09,618
shows, you're like, why is Adam mad at you? It's

3068
03:14:09,638 --> 03:14:12,560
like, it's a bit. I know. It's funny, though. I

3069
03:14:12,680 --> 03:14:15,262
bumped the microphone. I didn't mean to do that. You're

3070
03:14:15,302 --> 03:14:19,244
copying me. It's the spirit of JCD. There are a

3071
03:14:19,324 --> 03:14:24,908
bunch of meetups upcoming, including a bunch today. Let's see.

3072
03:14:25,368 --> 03:14:27,630
In the morning, Virginia, and thank you for your courage.

3102
03:16:43,140 --> 03:16:46,882

3103
03:16:47,163 --> 03:16:51,205
here. Chester's a popular dude. Not sure which one it

3104
03:16:51,305 --> 03:16:53,727

3114
03:17:36,175 --> 03:17:41,619
to noagendameetups.com. The Dame G money in there. It's a

3115
03:17:41,699 --> 03:17:44,361
day, you know, connection is protection. Adam says it a

3116
03:17:44,421 --> 03:17:55,508
lot. It is true. I need to get better at

3117
03:17:55,688 --> 03:17:58,010
doing ISOs. I always forget to do the ISOs. I'm

3118
03:17:58,050 --> 03:18:00,251
always looking for the clips and then forget to do

3119
03:18:00,752 --> 03:18:04,634
the ISOs. But I did have a couple. One, this

3120
03:18:05,014 --> 03:18:09,738
is... Mickey Rourke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Whatever you say,

3121
03:18:09,818 --> 03:18:14,181
boss. I mean, there's that. And then a very similar

3122
03:18:14,281 --> 03:18:17,603
vein, oddly enough, Adam and John. Yep, yep, yep, yep,

3123
03:18:17,683 --> 03:18:21,185
yep. And then this one I know is just too

3124
03:18:21,285 --> 03:18:24,487
self-aggrandizing. Darren O'Neill, man. He just, he has it. He's

3125
03:18:24,527 --> 03:18:28,570
got that magic. There you go. So I'll let Larry

3126
03:18:28,670 --> 03:18:30,451
pick that one. Which one do you like the most?

3127
03:18:31,192 --> 03:18:34,334
Oh, I think it's got to be yours. Well, we've

3128
03:18:34,354 --> 03:18:38,437
got to find John C. Dvorak crapping on your song.

3129
03:18:38,577 --> 03:18:42,980
That goes back a few years. Hey, somebody's got to

3130
03:18:43,040 --> 03:18:44,701
find that. They got to bing it. They got to

3131
03:18:44,781 --> 03:18:48,303
do it. And help us out. I mean, a couple

3132
03:18:48,343 --> 03:18:51,926
of people have come through with some other alternatives for

3133
03:18:52,106 --> 03:18:56,229
opening show music and all that. But we need a

3134
03:18:56,249 --> 03:19:00,231
little refresh on some things that are very specific for

3135
03:19:00,351 --> 03:19:03,133
John and Adam. So, you know, if you can do

3136
03:19:03,213 --> 03:19:07,936
that for us, it is very much appreciated. That is

3137
03:19:07,996 --> 03:19:11,279
going to do it. for another edition of the best

3138
03:19:11,339 --> 03:19:15,922
damn podcast in the universe. According to Bembrose in the

3139
03:19:16,002 --> 03:19:20,565
back room, coming up after this on your Mighty No

3140
03:19:20,665 --> 03:19:24,167
Agenda stream, just two good old boys again? Isn't it

3141
03:19:24,187 --> 03:19:28,410
like twice in two shows? Interesting. I didn't know Bembrose

3142
03:19:28,470 --> 03:19:33,693
really liked Sir Gene and Sir Do-Name-Ben-Name-Ben. That is a

3143
03:19:33,753 --> 03:19:36,936
surprise. I was not aware of that. It's an interesting

3144
03:19:36,996 --> 03:19:40,058
show. I mean, Gene tells me. It's an interesting show.

3145
03:19:40,058 --> 03:19:43,880
I haven't listened recently. But he says it's a very

3146
03:19:43,980 --> 03:19:49,264
interesting show. And would Gene lie? No. Yeah, don't go

3147
03:19:49,364 --> 03:19:53,567
out on a limb on that one. End of show

3148
03:19:53,807 --> 03:19:58,150

3160
03:20:44,074 --> 03:20:47,496
would like to tell two stories about John C. Dvorak.

3161
03:20:48,717 --> 03:20:53,080
Story number 1 Many years ago, when Vorak was working

3162
03:20:53,220 --> 03:20:57,863
for Mevio, and Adam Carey was his boss. I wanted

3163
03:20:57,883 --> 03:21:02,966
to interview Dvorak for my podcast, which was about tech.

3164
03:21:03,967 --> 03:21:07,229
The work didn't want to do it, so I contacted

3165
03:21:07,409 --> 03:21:10,992
other. Kerry and Adam Kerry told Dvorak to do it

3166
03:21:11,152 --> 03:21:14,154
and Dvorak did it. It was done over Skype. It

3167
03:21:14,214 --> 03:21:19,237
was fun. Story number two. I was chatting with Vorack

3168
03:21:19,417 --> 03:21:24,941
over direct messages on Twitter. and Vojak told me that

3169
03:21:25,061 --> 03:21:29,004
his mother was born in Poland and she had Polish

3170
03:21:29,324 --> 03:21:34,307
passport. And I told the VOAC to get Polish citizenship,

3171
03:21:34,487 --> 03:21:39,271
which is equal to European Union citizenship, with freedom of

3172
03:21:39,391 --> 03:21:45,055
movement to EU countries and after-clinics like Norway. and Switzerland.

3173
03:21:45,895 --> 03:21:48,657
and Vorek was angry that I suggested it and he

3174
03:21:48,777 --> 03:21:53,480
blocked me on Twitter for several years. These are two

3175
03:21:53,540 --> 03:22:05,268
stories from me, ComicStribeBlogger. Thank you for your service. A

3176
03:22:05,288 --> 03:22:11,512
voice that questioned every headline's claim. A restless mind that

3177
03:22:11,612 --> 03:22:16,796
never played the game. With dry wit, wisdom, and that

3179

3183
03:28:15,317 --> 03:28:19,840
your service. So anyway, so I still have an problem.

3184
03:28:19,860 --> 03:28:23,342
I say, oh, but nothing like Hillary. So there's a

3185
03:28:23,362 --> 03:28:25,664
lot of us in there. There's so many us. There's

3186
03:28:25,684 --> 03:28:28,165
no reason to edit it. Although maybe I will now.

3187
03:28:28,666 --> 03:28:31,287
But I have the ringer. And so I'm going to

3188
03:28:31,307 --> 03:28:33,689
ring the bell and we'll try to keep count. Ready?

3189
03:28:33,709 --> 03:28:36,631
Yep. Well, for that kind of money, you would too.

3190
03:28:37,632 --> 03:28:41,995
So, uh... So there's this guy Patrick Seal. Then all

3191
03:28:42,015 --> 03:28:45,197
of a sudden, let's change the news and kill Whitney

3192
03:28:45,257 --> 03:28:51,661
Houston. So, uh... I wonder why kind of Mimi will

3193
03:28:51,701 --> 03:28:55,384
be reaching out to you with information about your ring.

3194
03:28:56,845 --> 03:29:00,227
So I have a couple of Ask Adams today, which

3195
03:29:00,227 --> 03:29:02,128
are nice features. Oh, yeah. I'd love to do an

3196
03:29:02,228 --> 03:29:05,150
Ask Adam. Forget I even mentioned it. We don't want

3197
03:29:05,210 --> 03:29:07,952
any of that. They're always meddling. We don't want that.

3206
03:29:56,324 --> 03:29:58,666

3207
03:29:58,726 --> 03:29:59,967

child side. I said, "Hey Disney, take a walk on

3216
03:31:00,919 --> 03:31:17,329
the child side." And he came to the kindergarten. In

3217
03:31:21,918 --> 03:31:25,740
she never even stopped, even when they called the cops.
