♪ The guy's becoming an alcoholic since he's been doing
Here it comes. Ah, there it is. Adam Curry. John
C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, July 26, 2026. This is your
award-winning Get More Nation media assassination episode 1889. This is
no agenda. that intro at the moment. Hello, Noah Gendonation.
Hello, Troll Room here live on Sunday the 26th. What
a week it's been. We've been laughing through all of
the tears. I've been on the phone with the entire
Dvorak clan, many people who, of course, knew John. It's
been, the outpouring has just been so amazing. John, I'm
sure, would just love seeing his name trending on X.
What is up with that? Years and years ago have
suddenly reappeared and every single one of you who emailed
me and said, "Hey, I'm sure your email box is
blowing up right now." But I'm telling you, yes, it
is overwhelming. Now, on Thursday's show, we gathered John's friends
and family, and we mourned him. We remembered him. We
talked about him. We laughed about him. And today it
is the producer's turn. Before I intro what y'all have
put together for him, I want you to know that
right after the next, I think it's about two hours
and 43 minutes, we will be telling you how we're
moving forward with No Agenda, because the show, of course,
just can't stop. Things will change, and there's a lot
of interesting waters to navigate as we move forward. We
also have such an outpouring of... respect and love for
John. So we will be reading several hours worth of
donations and I look forward to it because every single,
I know everybody's grieving and I just love to see
how everybody is pouring their hearts out into these notes.
So I had asked if you had a favorite clip
from the show, a favorite bit, anything that you liked,
please send it to me. Wow. So we used Clip
Genie. I think it's called Podherd now. Thank you, Sir
Deenonymous. He was beefing up his servers. I have to
say thank you to Void Zero as well on the
last show. He was adding servers, fixing DNS, all kinds
of stuff just to keep everything on the air. It's
wonderful. And so I spent about eight hours yesterday putting
this show together. And. It was amazing. These are your
choices. And it was so fun to see how many
people selected similar things, things that I didn't expect. I'd
say 80% of what you guys sent in or selected
on Podherd Clip Genie, I had completely forgotten about. For
instance, I had completely forgotten that John had done tips
of the day since episode 200. They just weren't structured
the way we did them. So it was... It was
amazing. And somewhere around three, I usually have a glass
of wine with dinner somewhere around three o'clock. I texted
Tina. I said, I got to break open a bottle.
I was laughing, crying, and I think you'll do the
same. So this is an ode to John. as selected
by No Agenda Nation, by our producers. And I'm so
grateful that you did this. So enjoy this, because this
is coming from you. Blame it on the glitch. And
I did this work in, you know, 10 minutes. It
wasn't that hard to find. Blame it on the glitch.
Yeah, well, reporters don't care. This kind of day. Okay,
here's a song idea for some. No, no, no. I
was going to keep going with internal passwords. Well, I'm
not going to interrupt you. I was going to tell
the song idea. I am this song, it's Michael Jackson,
blame it on the boogie to blame it on the
glitch. Give it that you can't fit that in there
I think it could be done It could be blaming
on the buggy Oh, this just sounds too similar. You
have to rewrite some lyrics to get the rhymes right.
I can hear Sir Chris popping another beer as we
speak. Don't blame it on the bad card. Don't blame
it on the blue load. Or thermal overload. Blame it
on the glitch. Don't blame it on the bad card.
Don't blame it on the blue blood. Or thermal overload.
stuff for this show. Like, hey, man, I'm drunk. Don't
worry about me. And I remembered a conversation from, I
was thinking steam engines, I don't think the batteries are
going to work. And we talked about gasifiers, about wood-burning
trucks. 12 years ago, you remember that? Yep. And he's
going to build me one. The gasifier where you burn
wood and it's going to... I think this is appropriate.
And it's going to power my existing generator. If anything...
Oh, I think you should power your truck. Well, and
that was the second thing. I'm not going to wait
to buy a flying car. I'm going to get an
old flatbed Ford that has a tow hitch so I
can drag the burning system behind me and drive with
it. Oh, yeah. This is the way I've always seen
you going out. What do you mean going out? I
don't want to die. I want to drive. Gasification systems
are cool as crap and we have so much wood
around here. And you, he told me about a buddy
of his who has actually done this with his truck.
And he says, I can go about 15 miles on
a dead cat. He said you could throw anything in
there. You could throw whatever you want. As long as
it can burn, then you can drive on that. Now,
there was another element to this, which was the quote-unquote
fact-checking. And the fact-checking thing is getting really old and
stale. And one of the things that you, if you
notice, you listen to the fact-checking, they really didn't find
a lot of facts that Trump said that were wrong.
They were just kind of questionable or borderline. Or Trump
would say something like 3.9 million, and they said, no,
it was 3.8. 8-5 they're nitpicking about some of these
facts, you know, so they get added to the 25,000
lies I know I'd like to strengthen your argument because
I got a little tired. It's actually more than 16,000
lies this this is the thing this it should be
in the Trump rotation 16,000 lies I went and found
I wanted to find out who has tracked this since
it's such a thing 16,000 16,000 it's the Washington Post
the number they are have tread they have a database
And the number is currently 16,241. And of course, it's
not lies. They titled this false or misleading claims. Just
the first page, just to give you an idea of
what's in here. January 18th, 2020, Trump said, I remember
2016, the election, the fake news. They said Trump was
going to have a hard time winning Texas. So that's
one column. That's the false allegation or the lie. On
the right-hand column, they have their debunked statement. Literally one
line. Trump was always going to win Texas easily. So
that's a lie. So what he said there is a
lie because that's their fact check. Trump was always going
to win Texas easily. A couple of others. Before you
go on, and I like this list, I remember when
some people were talking about both Georgia and Texas possibly
switching over. But this is my point. It's very subjective
claims. Read more. Okay, January 18th, 2020. United States has
gained 7 million jobs, unthought of. If I had said
that in the campaign trail, the fake news would have
gone crazy. The rebuttal, because this of course is false,
Trump cites how many jobs have been created since the
election, but not since the beginning of his administration. Ha
ha! We've got him! Since he took office, it was
6.7 million! That's nuts! 7 million is rounding up! Lie!
Lie! The next one, January 18th. The unemployment rate is
now 3.5%, the lowest in more than 51 years. The
rebuttal from Washington Post. I have to do the voice.
For some reason, Trump always stretches this claim. Throughout 2018
and 2019, a low of 3.5% unemployment would be the
best in 50 years, not 51! This is the shit
that's at the top of the list, yes. is 50
not 51? And that's what they call a lie? Because
they feel that when he said it, it wasn't a
year that didn't have the exact number, so it really
was the best in 50 years and not 51. That's
one of the lies. You can go through all 16,000
of them. It's stuff like that. It's called ant-fucking. And
it's lame. Although very entertaining to read it. It's crazy.
Well, it just points out the insanity of these people.
It's the Washington Post. The Washington Post is insane. This
all began in the 70s. Oh. Late 70s. I was
very young then, John. This began with a software... entrepreneur
named Seymour Rubenstein. Seymour Rubinstein, who was the purveyor of
WordStar, among other products, had developed a very interesting ironclad
had a licensing agreement. And I've talked to Seymour about
this over the years. And he always believed that in
some day in the distant, not too distant future or
distant future, everything would be licensed, including books and television
shows that you watch. So you can't copy them. You
can't because you're licensed it. And maybe you can make
one back up for personal use, which they're always fighting
against that too, by the way. So the idea of
everything being licensed evolved into the shrink wrap license, which
became law. Which is that terms of service license that
when you open up a CD, it used to be
floppies. It's the end user agreement that is on a
piece of paper. When you rip open the package, you
have a read. You have accepted it. Yes, you are
now under contract. a 13 year old kid open it
because they're not bound by these same legal restrictions anyway
like that's going to help an interesting john c devore
act tip This is pretty transparent. Here, play this clip.
Firestorm over the 2,000 ex-DOJs. I got a comment about
this. Long time friend. Now, the this if you remember
about six months, it may even been a year ago.
There was the same 2000 ex-DOJ guys who signed a
petition saying that the president should be, I believe, should
be impeached. And this is just a mailing list. This
is a group of 2000 that was that are all
Democrats. You're right. You're right. So I looked into the
first time it happened, which is the same 2000 guys.
You can look at the list. It's the same people.
I looked into this back then when it happened the
first time. I tracked down two or three of them
and wrote them, emailed them. Maybe I tracked down more
than that, but I only got responses from two or
three of them. Wait, you were trying? So did you
acquire the entire list? The list is available. That's a
hot list, man. The article that ran in Medium is
the same list that they just ran with these people.
John, you know what we can do with this list?
Here, we'll send the email. I saw what you were
doing. I was able to turn on your webcam. I
saw what you were watching. me five bitcoin come on
man it's a great list it's a great list to
do that for i don't have the emails it's just
a list of names oh that's a problem yeah so
i had to dig through and dig around and finally
get the emails for maybe five or six of them
because some of them are fame in famous law firms
and you go to the website and there's the guy
and you know xdoj xd it's just it's amazing how
many xdoj people there are in giant law firms yeah
so i sent a bunch of notes out because i
didn't i thought this sounded like a bunch of bull
crap and they're just making you know just putting people's
names down, you know, like petitioners do. But no, they
wrote back, no, no, yeah, no, I write, they were
all irked that I even questioned that they signed onto
this thing. And you can tell they're all just a
bunch of either never Trumpers or just Democrats that don't
like Trump. And it's the same group. So this is
gonna crop up every six to nine months. 2,000 ex-DOJs
saying that Trump did the wrong thing. This is bull
crap. And the fact that ABC News of democracy now
just played it straight is just beyond the pale as
far as i'm concerned just bad coverage is that very
well done a good deconstruction i i had forgotten all
about that list that makes so much sense what a
bunch it's hooey it's it's malarkey i say then of
course we have we have a classic a favorite the
pansexual you know what that is the pansexual of course
Yeah, yeah. You'll have sex with an animal. Anything. Anything
goes. Now, what are you going to do? Anyone going
to eat this meatloaf? I had this book and it
reminded me of this. I told people this. I can
look at a guy and tell if he's had a
vasectomy. Really? His face. The face. And I'm not talking
about, you know. Okay, wait a minute. Let me just
get this straight. Let me just get this straight. So
amongst your many talents, and remember, John has worked for
oil companies. He's a master chef. He's a wine connoisseur.
He's a technology expert. He used to hand deliver PC
Magazine to all 30,000 subscribers. Bowler, too. Not only that,
but you can tell just by looking at a guy's
face whether he's had a vasectomy or not. Yeah. Okay.
Now, how I got clued into this, Let me back
up a little bit. Oh, please do. I had this.
Oops, ouch. Backed up too far. So I had this
book, and I just irked to no end that I've
lost this book, although I think I might be able
to find it in one of the library searches that
Google and Microsoft are doing. I think it's still around.
It was a book done in the 20s. It was
a book on health. In the 1920s, vasectomies were used
as a way of making people look more youthful It
was actually a, it wasn't for birth control. It was
done, which I, it was done for the purposes of,
like instead of a facelift, you'd get a vasectomy. Really?
And it would make you look younger. And they showed
all these pictures in this book. And I looked at
these pictures and I looked at enough of them. And
then I knew enough guys who had vasectomies that I
look at that and I could see what it does.
It makes, for some reason, and it does, you know,
I talk to people about this, well, it says it
makes no sense because all it does is this and
that. How could it do what you're describing? I'm just
saying. In the 20s. vasectomies were used as a youth
serum. People get a vasectomy and they look younger by
a little bit, but in fact they didn't look younger,
they look different. And it makes your face a little
puffier and a little more, it's a little softer. It's
kind of hard to describe, but I'm telling you the
truth. I have seen, and I've actually done this with
friends that have had vasectomies and just without coming, I
say, I just look at them and say, you've had
a vasectomy, right? the time I'm right. Were we in
time with the Zephyr or what? We started the whole
thing just as the Zephyr appeared. It's a 10-car train
too for some reason. I kept seeing these 10 car
trains for the last week and I'm thinking, as I'm
looking at these trains again, why are they 10 cars
all of a sudden? They've always been eight. 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 8 cars. It's not early. I'm
telling you, I'm hearing it honking, and I think it's
going to... Well, I mean, I can hear the honk
from Amoryville, this horn they got on these things. effort.
Ah, right in time. Perfect. Happy. It's going to be
a good show. And there goes Zephyr right on top.
I mean, the Judy, there goes the step for. This
is Zephyr, by the way, just for your information. All
right. Go on. There goes the zephyr. Oh! Perfect timing.
Zephyr. Thank goodness. There we go. tell you a couple
salt tips okay john c devorex salt tip of the
day the really great salt in the world that just
for some reason has got it just has everything going
for it are these hand uh these things are pulled
by by individuals uh and various salt marshes and it's
it's french and but they do make it here and
there it's called fleur de sel f-l-e-u-r-d-e-s-e-l and this is
it's a it's an standing solid, especially in a salad
or something that maintains its crunchiness and it's just a
fantastic thing. Well, here's, I got my piece of advice.
All right. I've given this advice before. I'm going to
give it again. Most people that will supervise you throughout
your careers are full of crap. And that's the advice.
The more you know. And they tend to, they can
be played, and I don't like to say that you
want to play people, but they can be played by
just going along with whatever they have to say. Do
not be argumentative. And I'll give two examples. I'll give
one example, a good one. Well, actually, I'll give a
number. I'll generalize. Somebody will say, hey, hey, I don't
like the way you're doing this. and you're doing it
whatever way you're doing it and you instead of saying
well i'm doing it for this reason or that reason
or whatever you say Oh, okay, what do you want
me to do? What do you think I should do
better? I'm all ears. Be very attentive. And then they'll
tell you the way they want you to do something.
And then just keep doing it the way you were
doing it because it's the way you do things. Don't
pay any attention to their advice. And within... I don't
know, a few months, they come back to you and
say, so how's that new way of doing things? And
you say, it's great. You were right. And the guy
will say, yep, I've noticed it. You've changed. You're much
better than you were. And that happens all the time
because everybody thinks they're so important. And hello, eight months
ago. This is exactly what has been prognosticated on this
very program, but it became real when Ticketmaster announced it.
Ticketmaster may require vaccine or testing proof to go to
a concert. This sounds like a vaccine certificate becoming almost
like a passport. Yeah, it might only be the beginning.
What? I mean, who could have foreseen this? We had
no... What? It could be almost... It's almost like a
passport. So Ticketmaster plans to have customers use their cell
phones to verify their vaccination
In the past 24 to 72 hours, there are different
types of apps and companies out there that track your
health data. So Ticketmaster will use a combination of a
digital ticketing app with a combination of health info firms
like Clear and IBM that tracks your health information. Nice
to see IBM back in the game of putting numbers
on human beings. They haven't done a real job like
this since Nazi Germany. Jew tracing and tracking program. Look
it up, and they're back in the game. We've got
the documents. Look it up. Do your own research. A
master will use a combination of a digital ticketing app
with a combination of health info firms like Clear and
IBM that tracks your health information and then coordinate with
testing companies like LabCorp. So Billboard reports a ticket master
will not be able to store this information or be
able to access your entire medical record. But how it
works is that concert goers, you will instruct a lab,
send over your test results to their health pass companies
like Clear, like IBM, which would then be verified in
the Ticketmaster app itself. But you can imagine that it's
not just concerts. Think of movies and also sporting events.
What about workplaces in the future? Getting on a plane,
going on a cruise, going to work. What about privacy
concerns as well? They say you can't access your medical
records, but is that discrimination? Something's got to give. That's
the way it is. That's the way it is? No.
Barney, you big-headed oaf. No, that's not the way it
is. Something's not got to give. Only if people give
into it. And they're gonna. They're gonna. See, I don't
believe this story is anything more than subtle propaganda to
get you to go get vaccinated. Are you crazy? This
is power and control sitting right out there, and they're
gonna go, oh, we're not like that. We're not actually
gonna do it. Please. I didn't say that. What did
you say? The methodology they're using is a threat mechanism.
Yes. To make it sound as though they're going to
do it. Oh, okay. And they make it sound serious,
and probably Varney thinks they are. I mean, who knows?
But the mechanism is to get you to get vaccinated.
Right, and it's working. But they're never going to implement
this bull crap because it costs people money. Okay, okay.
Redbook putting it in right now. I'm tired. I've got
to say this. Ticketmaster will not implement this program. Okay.
Ticketmaster. I'm putting it in. Passport. Today is November 12th,
2020. And A-C, yes. J-C-D, no. And I will be
able to read that. It's absolutely going to be implemented.
You'll never be able to read it because it's never
going to happen. All right. It's in the book. It's
fine. We can agree to disagree. No, we can't. We
cannot agree. You're wrong. You're just wrong. You're just wrong.
I disagree with that idea. Yeah, I disagree with you,
period. Why do people keep saying we can agree to
disagree? Well, it's a way of saying fuck you, I
think. Now that you mention it, hoopin' sucker, I'm getting
a little annoyed by the stay safe thing, too. Who
says stay safe? Everybody. You go to the store. Yeah,
in California they do. Oh, that's like stay safe. We
always joke around that when you're out in the field
in the hurricane. Stay safe. Yeah, same thing. It's just
you go to the store and you say, okay, how's
business? Yeah, good. Okay, so long. Stay safe. Stay safe.
Be well. Just say it constantly. Everybody says it. I
said it once. Now this is bad. So I have...
I think I have a good retort because this is
annoying and we need to stop this. Stay safe. So
we'll try it out. I've received the goods. Okay, thank
you very much, John. All right, I'm gone. Oh, well,
stay safe. Yes, under his eye. and then just walk
off. Stay safe under his eye. If someone says stay
safe and you say yes under his eye or under
his watch, maybe that's not under his eye. Isn't that
the one from? You talking about some religious thing? No,
that's from the Handmaiden's Tale. Oh, I say I never
watched that piece of shit. So clearly a failed attempt
here. Okay, I'm sorry. So I would go, okay, let's
do it again. This time you do it. Okay. All
right. Uh, so, okay, I'll see you later, Adam. Yes,
okay, John, and hey, stay safe. With Jesus. *laughs* that
one a lot I like it a lot. And it's
just a good way. And also, it spreads the word
of the Lord. So it's not a bad idea. It's
not a bad idea. It's not somebody's word, but it's
definitely a showstopper. It's definitely a showstopper. Okay, well, let
me try another one. Okay. This time, you just say,
say, right? This is the one I think is maybe
better. Okay. All right. Okay, I'll see you later, Adam.
All right, stay safe. Go fuck yourself. What did you
have for breakfast? The following jingle contains content about anal
leakage. However, it also provides advice to finding shoes that
match. Listener discretion is advised. But I have heard of,
here's another one. And you can look this one up.
There are these public poopers and there tend to be
mostly women. Public poopers? God. Hey! The stage came. down
in the Skipping and a dumping Leave this stranger Thumpin'
and you Brown stain girl. Here we go. I'm in
Las Vegas with a group of the people from PC
Magazine and some PR woman comes up. and sits there
and starts to talk and then uh she leaves and
rushes off And one of the guys, I don't know
how he knows about this, but he said that she
was, she said he knew that she took it. This
is disgusting. And I apologize to the listeners of this
show for bringing this stuff up. But apparently they like
to go and they just poop in their pants in
a crowd. In their pants? Yes. My brown stain girl.
And then they go off somewhere. And some sort of
weird perversion and... Done. What does ball in court mean?
That means we are not playing cards, we are playing
basketball. What? Football. Not tennis? Football. Football. There's no football
courts. You know what it means, the ball is in
your court. What does it mean? Well, the ball is
in your court. And why is he using it as
a phrase? Is it an American phrase? Is it an
international phrase? And what court are we talking about? And
she's explaining, it's bull crap. There is no such thing
as a ball in a court. Okay, you're now taking
it. A phrase has always bugged me. Now the ball's
in your court. Clearly it's bugged you. What am I
doing? Get the ball in there, get the ball out
of here. Okay, I'm glad you got that off your
chest after 60 years. About time. Oh, yes, at minimum.
This is very... Minimum. I mean, it's a... Is it
a tennis court we're talking about? It's a sports ball...
Or a basketball court. A sports ball court. Okay, well,
since you are so bugged about it, I'll look it
up. I can look up the... balls in your court
actually look it up and follow up on this yeah
well of course i mean i this the ball is
your origin and meaning okay oh it is yes the
idiom the it's an idiom john The idiom originates from
the sport of... Tennis. Once the tennis ball has been
hit over the net, thus the onus to act, i.e.
play the next shot, switches to the person whose half
of the court contains the ball. Or the ball is
in your half a court, it should be then. It
should be the ball is in your half court. And
by this, I proclaim today. March 13th, ball in your
half of court day. Yusef's Hummus. Okay. It's not bad.
Yousef's Hummus? Where do you get it? Costco? I don't
know where I had it. You know, I have it
in the refrigerator and I don't know where I bought
it. Now the, which says something. But anyway, the people
out there who like hummus probably have discovered, I mean,
if they ever had real hummus in, you know, made
by an old lady in the basement in a Middle
Eastern restaurant in the middle.
them the numbers out of Africa and they're like, yeah,
so what? You know, the ICUs, they're full, they're full.
Oh, wait, stop right there. Can I play you my
clip before you tell us the story? Oh, if it
is pertinent, of course. South Africa. Our correspondent Nomsa Maseko
is in Johannesburg. She told me hospitals are under strain.
They are severely under strain, particularly in two provinces, the
Western Cape and Guadalupe provinces, where hospitals are at full
capacity, some by up to 140 percent. But it's not
just COVID patients that are filling up those beds, but
it's also trauma cases which are fueled by crime and
alcohol and also road traffic accidents. The sale of alcohol
will be banned with immediate effect in South Africa until
the middle of January next year. Yeah, see, it's exactly
what's going on here, only in South Africa you can
see it and it's out in the open because they're
locked up and they're getting hammered and dying. It's not,
you heard it very clearly. It's not just, it's not
COVID. No, no, it's all the other stuff that's going
on. Well, we've had clips from hospitals saying there's no
COVID patients in the place, but be that as it
may. Yeah, back to the lib jabs. There's a phrase
I don't want to use again. So I'm getting to
this thing, and then one of them chimes in and
says, this is great. John's going to obviously not take
the, That moves me up one place. What, in podcaster
land? What is he thinking? In the vaccination line. Oh,
my God. That moves me up one place. Sticking with
the ICU beds for a sec. Boots on the ground
breakdown of the constant lack of ICU beds. Anonymous, one
of our producers. The change in narrative behind the shortage.
Local hospitals in Richland and Kenwick, Washington, and spat a
few years ago. It was all about who was allowed
to build more beds for their hospital. The long and
short of the lawsuit is that bed counts are controlled
and awarded by the state department of health. And you
just can't get more beds of any type if you
just, cause you want more, there has to be a
proven need in the area and can't take all the
customers a neighboring hospital might have room for. There you
go. So if you slam every media outlet with, we
don't have enough ICU beds, you can get the public
opinion on your side and get more of the highly
profitable beds you would otherwise not be allowed to have.
You can also use pressure from the quote shortage of
beds to say the standards of the Department of Health
are not right and more beds should be allowed because
of the unprecedented times has shown that we're not prepared.
So this is the undertone. Wow, that's a great note.
Isn't that fantastic? That's a great note and it makes
nothing but sense. Yeah, that's the whole reasoning behind the
hospital bed shortage because you can see video from around
the world people outside of the emergency room. no one's
there there's no one inside it's empty now not all
of them but it seems bull crappy but this this
when i hear this it's all about the money yeah
it's all about the moolah yeah it's all the same
sector i just had an idea so you could say
hey hey dvorak you're taking the vaccine and you can
say no i've decided to give up my place for
my friend what's his name fill in the blank lib
joe needs it more than I do. And then the
next time you can see, you can say it about
anybody. No, I really feel that my next door neighbor.
giving up my spot for him. I'll get to the
back of the line. That's the ticket, baby. Have you
taken the vaccine? No, no, no. I'm giving up my
space for someone else who needs it. But I think
it's better. It's more powerful if you specify it. No,
I think that is another one of your little gimmicks.
You've come up with a number of these. I'll give
you that. It's a toolkit. That was like the different
things you can say to the TSA. You remember those
days? Yeah. I can't lift my arms above my head.
There's a bunch of things you can do, but that
is a great one. And that's what I'm That's exactly
what I'm going to say if people ask me what
I'm going to get. No, you know, I think other
people need it more than I do. And you can
just say, go ahead, contact him. Because whenever someone hears,
hey, I'm here with Adam Curry. the vaccine is giving
is spot up in line for you. I'm sure most
people. You are a nice man. best things. I'm in
on this one. Okay, good. Noted. Joshua Baxter in Fort
Wayne, Indiana. Phillips of Scandiniato in Staten Island. Jeffrey Lenches.
Jeffrey Linkage. In. Hell with Slur! You sound like a
Dutch retard. Jeffrey Leentjes in Hellevoetsluis! Okay. Adam at curry.com.
Where's Dutch retard, which is a contradiction in terms. Whoa.
I'm all over. baby pre you know proto tick tock
back in the day called twigs or whatever the hell
it was fine twigs twigs oh man it's a new
video service by Everybody's... Hey, did you post a twig?
Yeah, I posted a twig. I posted a twig and
a branch. And so, uh, it has a bud. There's
a thing about eggs. Uh, everyone's noticed the eggs. We
have big egg producer, egg farm catching fire. There's a
people believe that the feed, the chicken feed has changed.
I have no evidence. There's a lot of people talking
about it. I have no evidence. No, there's no Let
me summarize. It goes like this. To put a guy
on YouTube or TikTok, I've been feeding my chickens this
new, this Purina feed and they haven't. A whole year
this chicken hasn't laid an egg. And I got suspicious,
so I changed the feed. And I gave him some
of this and some of that. They're laying every once
a day, just like usual. Which could just be a
change of feed. I mean, I want to believe it,
but I think it gets much better with this report
that is now just circulating. This is from PubMed. It
looks like mainly Chinese researchers, but it's public. I won't
give away the title. It was published January 2021. Abstract.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide, and there is
an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic.
This study evaluated the potential efficacy of egg yolk and...
as a neutralizing agent against SARS-CoV-2. We investigated the neutralizing
effect of anti-spike S1 IG1. egg yolk antibodies on the
SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the
bindings of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2,
which as we know that receptor but people getting sick.
Our results show that the anti-spike S1 egg yolk antibody
showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, various spike protein
mutants, and even SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. It might be a
feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID-19.
Now we've got a conspiracy theory. That is a beauty.
Wow. Now we've got a conspiracy theory. I'm giving you
10 points for that gem. Thank you. Isn't that cool?
And if you need to eat more eggs? Oh, then
get the book. Go download the book for free. Which
is at too many eggs dot com. I want to
mention I was up in Port Angeles. And I want
to just say anyone who's in the Olympic Peninsula ever,
you've got to make a trip out of your way
to go to Nash's Produce and buy these carrots that
he's bred. These carrots are the most astonishing product I've
ever had insofar as a carrot is concerned. the crunch
on these things this is like a carrot that's not
even refrigerated ah come on that's plywood you're cracking there
that's not really it sounds like a piece of wood
listen yeah that sounds good that's an outstanding sweet that
is an outstanding product right there john c devorek anyway
he's known for these carrots That's my food. People who
need the food news. that you learn only on the
No Agenda Show. And, mind you, that impresses the crap
out of people when you lay that smack down on
them. Are you a guzzler? Yes, the wine is good
here.
from this one post-familiar winery up in Arkansas that makes
a good one. By good, I mean you can actually
drink it. You know, they make a really good one
here in Birmingham. I don't think so. It's actually the
size of a large apricot, each grape. Large apricot. Large
apricot. The great Rihanna with her fabulous song "Bitch Better
Give Me My Money" So in the words of my
late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R-E-S-P-I-C-T. Oh no! Woohoo!
Yeah, everybody! Oh no! MSNBC everybody. Hitman Al Sharpton spells
respect R-E-S-P-I. What? He's getting lunch at Chipotle. The Tortoise
in the race. Kim Kardashian. Siganoi Weaver. you They're all
jitty. R-E-S-P-I-C-T. There's no real conflict. Resist. We must. Resist.
We must. We must. And we will much about that
be committed. Another culinary tip from John C. Dvorak. The
thing that's interesting about PG Tips to me and a
lot of these other teas, and we were talking about
Sainsbury's has a nice, I think it's called Red Label,
which is a competitor, is that the British, when they
were colonizing the world, they did these long-term deals all
over the place for things like... So they essentially have...
The contract is for... tea providers, but they get some
of the best tea in the world because they kind
of locked down these deals permanently back in the 1800s.
Isn't that in some way related to upcoming December 16th
when we commemorate the Boston Tea Party? Yeah, the Boston
Tea Party, if you study enough American history, of course,
this gets pretty peculiar as to why the Boston Tea
Party took place, but they were trying to shove tea
down everybody's throat and they were also stealing it from
China and making them take opium. Really? That was later.
Here, boys, have some opium. Give us the tea. Woke
up this morning singing a new song. Everything has changed.
Walking around the same old world. It's never gonna be
the same. But in my heart and in my mind,
I'll keep you there to stay I'm gonna miss you
in the morning You're always there for me in the
morning. ♪ in you I'm gonna miss you in the
morning ♪ Is there for me in the morning ♪
In the morning Hope to see you someday in the
morning. I'm gonna miss you. You're always there for me.
I hope to see you someday in the morning. Yeah,
well just pay attention to what's going on, people. You'll
see it. That's why Clooney's always looking down and all
embarrassed. Yeah, Clooney doesn't like what he's up to. No,
and he has conscience, but I think he's like, damn,
man, I got the place and... you know, I got
the lake house, I got the babes, you know, like
no one questions my homosexuality. Babes as it were. Yeah.
No one questions my homosexuality. Right. If you want to
see, but he does take a little swipe now and
again. I mean, if you want, but most of those
movies. There's actually a couple of them he's done, and
they're always the art pieces. The American is a good
movie. It's about an assassin. Yes. Very good movie. Syriana.
Yes, and Men Who Speak to Goats. Speak the goats
and then that one that he won. Men and the
goats who look scared next to them. Yes. The other
one is the one that Swinton won the... Which I
think is just, I've watched that, it's one of those
few movies I actually watch if it's on. What was
that? Let me see. Clooney. Is it on Tuesdays on
CBS at 9, 8 central? Filmography. No. It might be.
Let's see what his filmography is. I like The Men
Who Stared Goats. That was a pretty good movie. It
was weird. He does a lot of films. I mean,
this guy's just... And there was droning in that, too.
That was kind of cool. Droning movie. Up in the
Air was actually a good film, but it wasn't a
political movie. It was just about a pathetic guy. Michael
Clayton. That's the name of the movie? Yeah. Michael Clayton
is one of the... It's just a great, great film.
in a big law firm. And it is... And it's
got all kinds of creepy stuff going on. It's really,
if you haven't seen Michael Clayton, you have to watch
it. Just rent it, get it on Netflix, whatever. a
very good no agenda movie tip yes that's your no
agenda movie tip of the day well with the passing
of John C. Dvorak I think is only fitting that
I declare July 20 holiday in the honor of John,
the co-creator of the best podcast in the universe. Meanwhile,
back to the news of the day. Now, I don't
know, is this, do we know, has this been verified?
Did he admit to this or has this been just
doctored? Well, trust but verify. I'm pretty sure it was
real. You can't know for sure. I can't know for
sure because I wasn't watching it, so I do not
know. Okay, well, if it was real, he's Mike. this
this is this is the whole point first the clip
of fart gates we have chris matthews msnbc interviewing eric
swalwell uh who just fresh from the uh from the
hearing In the halls of Congress. So far, it's uncontradicted
that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians
to help him cheat an election. So, yes, the analysis
that you started is spot on. I'm just gonna assume
it's real. This is very simple. This is Chris Williams.
What's his name? Matthews. So he asks a question, they
switch to Swalwell, he's sitting on a chair in a
studio. let one rip here for a second. It bounces
off the chair. That's why you could hear it. It
was Matthews. Matthews dealt it. All right, here's the problem
with that. Uh, Swalwell paused. Like he couldn't talk through
the fart. No, no, no. He heard the fart and
it scared him. It was a blast. He was like,
what the hell did you just do? Someone's fart. Okay,
I'm not going to buy that because...
There's no real time here. There's always a lag, and
the lag is long enough that he would have at
least... No, no. I looked at that angle. They have
a hardwired connection between the halls of Congress and the
studios. There's almost zero lag. But it doesn't take away
from the fact that there's no way you can get
that direct sound from flatulence in the halls of Congress
with just a boom mic or even with a lavalier.
But in a studio against the backdrop of a chair.
I mean, especially if it's a leather chair. Yeah, but
he's going to... Okay, well, it's up for debate. But
so far, it appears as though this event was not
a fake. No, this is a real event. And they
call old dudes like that an old fart for a
reason. Come on. It's logical. Old fart. Why is it
an old fart? Because old guys fart. He was Matthews.
And I think it's shameful that he didn't at least
tweet and let Swalwell off the hook. you Okay, and
that's the fart gate. It didn't last long, but man,
it was a nice break in the day, wasn't it?
It was a break. It was a nice little break.
What is the theory of fractals and what really is
their importance? I can't tell you exactly. I can't explain
the theory. I can kind of understand it before I
can explain it. Okay. But it's essentially that everything is
self-iterative in a way that all nature, and it really
refers mostly to nature, it's self-iterative in a way that
you can actually formulate a structure that is mathematically accurate.
Because no one's ever been able to, there's all these
things over time that they said, look, a mountainside, look
at it, crumble down, say, you know, you can't, there's
no math that can explain what you're looking at. Whereas
mathematicians say you can explain everything with math. And fractal
theory says, no, that's not true. You can explain that
with math if you use fractal math. If you look
at the way fractals work, you can explain, you can
actually explain these natural phenomena, things in nature, like a
mountain. with this modeling that this guy's developed. And what
we think of as fractals in the computer business, or
as Mandelbrot's little designs that he makes, where he takes
one of these formulas, puts it in, and it just
starts to iterate and makes this really funky looking thing.
Yeah, that's a screensaver, you mean. Yes, that kind of
thing. It's a screensaver. This whole theory is based on
a screensaver, ladies and gentlemen. I just want you to
know that. And you think in terms of fractals, for
example, the reason, if you don't know this, that if
you look at a cell phone, a mobile phone from
a few years ago, it used to have an antenna.
Some of them would come out. All the antennas now
are fractal antennas, and they're inside the phone because you
don't need an antenna when you have what essentially is
a fractal antenna, which is a bunch of little things.
Which comes down to the energy within the ether, which
I'm sure is a fractal. these same fractal properties and
that's how maybe we're all connected or how everything starts
to come together as we start to understand all that
wireless shit. I'm going to really be saddened when the
new age people get a hold of this theory and
they start to come up with their crackpot analysis. Hold
on, but when technologists get a hold of it and
start to really understand it, it could be very exciting.
We could get some fantastic shit out of this. Well,
that's how we got the fractal antenna. Right. That's exciting.
We improved text messaging. That is a good job. Wait
a minute. That should be another $800 billion on the
bailout, the stimulus package. But to come up with a
good three-sentence explanation of fractals, I think it'd be valuable.
I'm sure there's one out there. I don't have it.
Wait, I'm just recalling. Yes. Yes, it was around episode
200. Okay. It was 202, as a matter of fact.
Roy Pierce, $1,111.00. What? Yeah. Wow. He came in as
an insta-knight. Yeah, I'll say. He asked listeners to watch
the movie President's Analyst. It was thought to be satire
45 years ago, but turned out to be mostly true.
Wow. Who was in this movie? I vaguely remember. I
think this was with the guy who used to play
our man Flint. I'm guessing. Take a look. I'm taking
a look right now. The President's Analyst, 1967, satirical. This
is from the Book of Knowledge. satirical comedy written by
Theodore Flicker, James Coburn. Okay, that's a real, yeah, that's
a real actor. Uh, see, the film's elements of political
satire, science fiction, resembles many of the spy spoofs that
proliferated in the mid-60s in the wake of the James
Bond phenomenon. Yeah, our man Flint. Wow, John, I'll give
you, yeah, that's right. um okay the film's themes include
modern ethics and privacy concerns specifically regarding the intrusion of
the telecom system working with the u.s government into the
private lives of the country's citizens oh my god this
is so on my list yeah you have to watch
i've seen it recently it is very fun and it's
funny it's a funny movie uh although colburn gets on
your nerves because he plays his character it's just a
i don't know well it's also the actually the acting
from the 60s. From the era. Yeah, that's a little
much. Also, the sets are really bright and all the
rest. Okay, cool. Anyway, good. That's our tip of the
day. Now, let's look at some U.S. clampdown that's taking
place. We got Twitter. Twitter kicked off the President of
the United States is making sure you can't post anything
about vaccines or about variants or anything really political or
medical. It just kicked off. I don't have a Facebook
account, but I think it's pretty much the same, what
happened with Instagram. And there's really one place left that
for some reason, you know, they can't control. It's becoming
very, very annoying to those that control the speech. ProPublica
journalist, I say that with emphasis, Lydia DePillis wrote quite
an article about the evilness of podcasting. That's what you
and I do. Yes, yes, podcasting. Because they can't control
it. There is no social control. over what these damn
podcasters are saying. And this is a problem. And Apple
is not being cooperative. So how can it be that
this kind of junk is allowed on Apple's podcast app,
right? But not on Twitter, not on YouTube. What's the
difference here? Yeah, well, in America, we have this policy
where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules
as to what content they will allow. What a crazy
country. Can you believe that, John? We have these weird
rules in America want to do and they're not like
china where this woman clearly takes her cues from or
that where the government tells everybody we got rules and
regs yeah well in america we have this policy where
we allow tech platforms to make their own rules as
to what content they will allow and the thing with
podcasts is that it's a little bit different in that
a company like apple can say we just list podcasts
that we essentially run a directory we don't host them
so that content is actually housed somewhere else but we
allow people to access it through our platform. So there's
a little bit of a dodge that they do there.
But they do have terms of service that says, here's
what we will and won't allow. It's just very, very
loose. And so a company like YouTube, which is Google,
or Twitter has actually established pretty proactive policies in terms
of election misinformation, which Apple just simply doesn't do at
all. Apple is not doing it right. So, you know,
they're trying to go after Apple. Very, very light touch.
Because, you know, I actually like my iPhone. I don't
want to piss anybody off. I might not get the
new beta. Because that's how these a-holes think. But the
worst part of this, the worst part of this woman
is what comes next. And I'll just say this woman.
I say with disdain. Well, let's back up again and
give us who is this woman again? Lydia DePillis from
ProPublica. Oh, ProPublica person. Yes. person. They get a lot
of air time, the ProPublica people. It's just like a
group of idealist journalists. You'll remember that David Korn launched
the whole PP tape Russian collusion dossier on ProPublica. Okay.
I think that did it. That summarizes everything. So of
all the things that she's about to say... So we
got another situation here where journalists are bitching and moaning
about free speech. journalists that don't like WikiLeaks because it
reveals too many secret documents, which they should be happy
to see. Or they're the same ones as Slammin' Snowden
or the same journalists. I'm thinking of Richard Engel in
this case, who doesn't want to see the release CIA
torture memo. These types of people. So ProPublica is anti,
they're anti-journalists journalists. Nice. Good for them. She is advocating
for shutting down speech that she doesn't agree with. That
is her article and you know to say well Apple
has a dodge here because they're just an index but
they have times the service and I'm following all that
but what blows me away is this journalist who I'm
going to presume is a technology journalist what she says
next is the biggest pile of horse crap
in the world. There's obviously been so much discussion, particularly,
I think you're seeing it on the conservative side, discussion
about cancel culture, deplatforming, right? Where is free speech, etc.
It seems like, as you report, it may just be
a matter of time before there is a buildup of
alternative streaming universes, ones that don't depend on these tech
giants at all. How hard is that, though, to actually
start happening, or how likely is it? Well, at the
moment, it's very difficult. The landscape of tech platforms moment
is pretty consolidated and that most people consume content through
means that are supported by companies like Amazon through its
Amazon Web Services product or through Apple through its iPhone
or through Google through its browser. So in order to
build up a tech ecosystem that is free of all
those where you could broadcast whatever content you like, then
it's the kind of infrastructure that doesn't really exist right
now. Sites like Gab are really straining under the weight
of new traffic that they're receiving. So this under-informed, over-socialized
twat is telling us the infrastructure doesn't really exist to
set up alternatives because, you know, you're really beholden to
the App Store and Amazon Web Services. I challenge you
to a debate, punk. This is nonsense. Look at us.
We are literally doing it. There are at least five
major video sources out there now. Thank you. One of
which is noagendatube.com. Noagendatube, which I wouldn't put in the
top five, but it's there. And then there's obviously the
Federated and other chat systems. And then there's things like
signals and telegrams. All these things are out there, which
people are condemning them to. And how about podcastindex.org? which
is talking about podcasting. And then the podcast index, by
the way, which is your baby. You can toot your
own horn, but as far as I'm concerned, I'll toot
it. This is the alternative of alternatives that will prevent
the future demise of podcasting. And it's something you recognized
about a year or two ago, probably because of this
show. Of course. And you decided to go ahead with
this podcasting 2.0, which has taken off quite nicely and
eventually will be absorbed into the great ecosystem. She's full
of crap. Go podcasting! But I will say this. The
pathetic thing is that she's got a voice and people
are asking her. Why is she even around? Well, you
know what? She is the new wave. This is the
same type of person who was at the New York
Times. So back to real news, by the way, I
have a complaint. So I go to, I noticed that
I didn't realize that this is an ongoing complaint. I
noticed it the other day. So I'm at Monterey Foods
buying vegetables, which is a green grocer, and it's a
good one. And I'm in there. And, of course, it's
in Berkeley, so it's like at a Berkeley style of
customer. In other words, people that look like they're just
about to die. Were any in the PETA? They're all
in the PETA camp. Many of them, you know. So
they're keeling over. They're holding on to their Zimmer frames.
So that's just like a horrible group. We're going to
get in so much trouble. Every once in a while
I've seen some like a younger woman that maybe just
moved into the area and she goes into Monterey Foods
with her makeup on because she's going shopping and she
feels obliged because maybe she's from the Midwest or Texas
where she feels obliged to actually look presentable in public
as opposed to wearing baggy ass crap and hair with
gobs of goo like dog shit. kind of in it.
I'm telling you, I'm just describing the scene so you
can get a feeling for it. I'm with you. I'm
smelling the dog shit. You see these women that come
in, they're made up, and they walk in and they
take one look around, they stop like they hit a
brick wall right at the entrance. You see them, boom,
they hit this brick wall and then they freeze and
you see their eyes going back and forth and back
and forth and they slowly walk backwards back into the
parking lot. store i have seen it's like going into
a gay bar it's like this isn't right just can
i have my coat back there used to this happened
we had a when i was in i think it
was just uh in college or something we were floating
around doing bar hopping and there used to be this
place i realized it was a gay bar called mike's
i think it was called mike's pool hall hall and
it was in san francisco in the north beach area
and it was like three or four of us we
did that exact same thing we walked in and we
just hit this brick wall. It was just like a
whole, like 500 guys turned around and looked at you.
It was like, what? Oh, oops. And then we slowly
walked backwards. Okay. So I'm at the Monterey Foods. And
I'm trying to, you know, check out. And there is,
the line is held up. Because apparently there was some
kind of a middle-aged gray-haired frumpy woman that was grousing
because she had brought her canvas bags and they had
mistakenly packed the vegetables into a sack of normal paper.
Oh, no, the horrors of it. It was, it was.
They had to stop the presses. They had to unpack
the... Let me see your supervisor! They had to unpack
the paper bag as they repacked it into her beat-up
old dirty canvas bags that looked like they hadn't been
washed for like a year at least. And, you know,
so I realized that there's this trend. It's actually died
off a little bit. But there was a trend for
a while where it was cool to have a canvas
bag that you'd drag to the store. And I know
in Europe this is always promoted because they charge you
like a nickel for the bags there. Yeah, they do
it at St. Thanks, Barry. Yeah, well, all throughout France,
I know you have to pay for the bag. It's
kind of like, it's very confusing to people who aren't
used to paying for a bag that costs like 0.001
cents with a plastic. Oh, yeah. But, okay, whatever. Anyway,
so, but there was this trend for a while, and
people were having, and so everyone had these, you know,
these grimy old canvas bags, which didn't, you know, they
didn't really hold that much, as a matter of fact.
And, I don't know, it was just galling to me.
having to sit there while she was making all these
demands on the staff. Imagine the base. My favorite debater
that I saved her clips for last. Amy Klobuchar. Yes.
I thought she was fantastic. I love Amy Klobuchar. Yeah,
as a comedian. Let me tell you, if I had
to choose from any person on that stage, I'd choose
her. Well, let's listen to a couple of things I
got from her. For one thing, I've got a pretty
good ISO. It's even called a pretty good ISO. I
think that sounds pretty good. No, that's our end of
show right there. I'm putting it into the slot just
in case. All right, here. You know, we like to
talk about people dropping the T. Oh, yeah. This is
an absolute beauty because I didn't know you could drop
the T with this word. My Republican opponents have gotten
out of politics for good. - Potence? Opponent. What was
that? Let me just show it. She's trying to say
opponent. My Republican opponent. Opponent. She's dropping a P. She's
dropping a P-anity. Opponents. My Republican opponents have gotten out
of politics for good. Yeah, under stress. People do make
mistakes. Oh, she was shaking like a leaf, as usual.
No, it wasn't as bad as it has been in
the past. It wasn't as bad as the first debate,
but it was bad considering how many she's done of
these. She's nervous sounding. As an eye twitcher and a
Tourette's sufferer, it doesn't bother me. I think it makes
her look interesting. I think worse than that is still
the schoolboy thing where Bernie's holding his hand up for
the teacher to call on him, like throughout the entire...
entire debate. Call on me, teacher. And then Tom Steyer,
by the way, when he talks, first of all, he
has a fake smile at the beginning because I guess
somebody told him, hey, Tom, smile a little bit. So
he puts on this fake, stupid looking smile and then
he goes right back into his dour look and then
he rolls his head in a circle as he talks.
And it's clockwise and he's rolling his head in a
circle as he talks and I'm watching him. Whoa. Here's
Amy talking about her one of her friends whose name
she can't remember. This is the big gaffe. What what
do you say to people who who say that a
woman can't win this election? I hear that when you
look at the facts. Michigan has a woman governor right
now and she beat a Republican, Gretchen Whitmer. Kansas has
a woman governor right now and she beat Chris Kobach.
And her name is I'm very proud to know her
and her name is Governor Kelly. Thank you. Yes! Her
name is... But keep your eye on her! She's got
something going. And by the way, she also has her
lipstick on like it's a big square block of lipstick.
So she looks like a kind of a Nick Parks
character, you know, Wallace and Gromit. It's just this funny
look. Well, there you go. Cheap Greek wine. As long
as it doesn't, you know, the wine that used to
be. popular or not.
It was never really popular, it was just kind of
a curiosity that the Greeks supposedly drank, and even though
I've never run into a Greek that liked this stuff,
which is Retsina. What's it called? Retsina. Retsina? And I,
last time I was in Greece, I always make sure
to have a glass of the best Retsina I can
find, which is like drinking, I don't know what it
is. It's the worst product in the world. Essentially what
it is, is some sort of a wine that harkens
back to the Greco-Roman times when they, to seal the
jugs of wine, they used a tree resin. as a
cork and so the tree resin or they put a
piece of block of wood in there and put some
resin but there's resin involved and the resin would always
leach into the wine and make it taste like tree
resin so you was like drinking a little bit like
drinking turpentine and it's just really one of the most
gosh awful things in the world uh and that's really
what cheap greek wine is okay just a little little
lecture for the people they always want more wine information
yeah Now there's your wine tip of the day. Look
for some Razzina. They do bring it in the United
States. You can buy it at a store. It's very
inexpensive. It's like five bucks a bottle, maybe six. And
you can try it. Well, it sounds like something not
to try, actually. Well, you should have it once in
your life. It's so obvious now. This is a complete
destabilization of Europe, and we're going to squash them like
a bug, like a bug under a bomb. Well, ask
the EU, as our friend Newland said. Oh, goodness. this
clip and we listen to FDEU. We start to understand
what might actually be going on. Not everyone understands this
because they weren't around when we played this the first
time in 2014. This is when the U.S. was installing
a new government into Ukraine and Victoria Nuland was caught
with, well, was recorded at high quality. Very high quality
by the Russians, obviously. On a phone call where she
was talking to her compatriot who I think was, was
he the ambassador at the time? I'm not sure, ambassador.
Maybe. But they were discussing, you know, oh, who we
got to put in? Now, Klitsch is no good. We
got to have that guy in. Yeah, we can have
Biden come out here and bless the deal. He'll kiss
the babies. It'll all be good, Biden. Biden. And then
it was like, well, you know, they're not going to
like what we're doing, the EU. And then she just
said that. Fuck the EU. And there you have it.
With great disdain. Yes. Should we play that clip again?
What do you think? I think we're in play. We're
in play. The Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron
here, especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister.
And you've seen some of my notes on the troubles
in the marriage right now. So we're trying to get
a read really fast on where he is. Listen to
these terms they use. We're in play. Yeah, like we
got a little trouble here on the marriage because they're
just like shotgun wedding. We were fusing everything together, handing
out cookies. This stuff. But I think your argument to
him, which you'll need to make, I think that's the
next phone call we want to set up, is exactly
the one you made to Yachts. That's Yachts and Yuck,
who later did become prime minister for a moment. Put
him on the spot on where he fits in this
scenario. And I'm very glad he said what he said
in response. We should also mention that Klitschko is currently
the mayor. The mayor of Kiev. Kiev. Good. So I
don't think Klitsch should go into the government. I don't
think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea.
Yeah, so I just make it not happen. That's how
democratically elected countries work. Victoria Nuland says, I don't think
he should go in, and he doesn't. Yeah, I mean,
I guess. He's not agreeing, by the way. You think...
In terms of him not going into the government, just
let him sort of stay out and do his political
homework and stuff. I'm just thinking... In terms of sort
of the process moving ahead, we want to keep the
moderate Democrats together. The problem is going to be Tony
Bok and his guys. No Tony Bok. And, you know,
I'm sure that's part of what Yanukovych is calculating on
all of this. Yanukovych was, was that the guy they
were putting in or was the guy was going out?
I can't remember where Yanukovych was. I think it was
the guy going out. I think it was going out.
I think Yates is the guy who's got the economic
experience, the governing experience. He's the guy, you know, what
he needs is Cleach and Tony Book on the outside.
He needs to be talking to them four times a
week. Yeah, she's now actually not just putting people into
government, but arranging their agenda. Yeah, doing their calendar for
them. Doing their calendar. Yeah, this is the democratic country
that we're saving for democracy. Democracy. I just think Cleach
going in, he's going to be at that level working
for Yatsenyuk. It's just not going to work. No, not
going to work. No, I agree. What do you think,
John? Not going to work. Not going to work. Let
him just do his political homework on the outside. Good.
Would you want us to try to set up a
call with him as the next step? My understanding from
that call, but you tell me, was that the big
three were going into their own meeting and that Yachts
was going to offer in that context a three-plus-one conversation
or three-plus-two with you. Is that not how you understood
it? No, I think that's what he proposed. But I
think just knowing the dynamic that's been with them where
Klitschko has been the top dog, he's going to take
a while to show up for whatever meeting they've got,
and he's probably talking to his guys at this point.
So I think you reaching out directly to him helps.
with the personality management among the three. This is literally
how we used to pitch like, you know, Gillette. All
right, you talk to your guy and I'll talk to
my guy and you work him from the back end
and we'll get the big three or maybe three plus
two. We'll get him into the meeting. We'll pitch him
with the PowerPoint and we'll be good to go. And
it gives you also a chance to move fast on
all this stuff and put us behind it before they
all sit down and he... Oh yeah, let's move fast
before they figure out how we've hoodwinked them. He doesn't
like it. This is good to review. I can see
there's trolls who have never heard this recording. Well, this
is in 2014, so it's a bit, it's like nine
years ago. It is. Okay, good. I'm happy. Why don't
you reach out to him and see if he wants
to talk before or after? All right. How do we
put a bulb on this, Vicki? How do we wrap
this all up? Okay, we'll do. Thanks. Okay, I've now
written one more wrinkle for you, Jeff. Oh, wrinkle, wrinkle.
Stand by, Jeff. I got a wrinkle. Yeah. I can't
remember if I told you this or if I only
told Washington this. Yeah, because you're not in the loop
on everything, Jeff, just so you know. When I talked
to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name
for the UN guy, Robert Seri. Did I write you
that this morning? Yeah, I saw that. He's now gotten
both Seri and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Seri could
come in Monday or Tuesday. Oh, that's right. They had
Ban Ki-moon in on the deal. The Secretary General of
the UN to, you know, we'll bless the deal. Ban
Ki-moon will come in. That guy's half dead anyway. He
just, they didn't even speak English. Just let him mumble.
Okay. So that would be great, I think, to help
glue this thing and have the UN help glue it.
Yeah, have the UN help glue it because that's what's
good. Glue. Glue it. And, you know, fuck the EU.
Yeah. There it is. And I think we've got to
do something to make it stick together. Exactly. Let's just
go back for a second. So she's saying we'll have
the UN glue it because clearly the European Union is
like, what are you guys doing in our backyard? This
is not so cool. So we're going to have this.
thing glued for the whole world and fuck you fuck
you eu if i only told washington this that when
i talked to jeff feltman wait wait when she said
fuck the eu i think she was specifically saying we're
going to have the UN do it and fuck the
EU meaning we're skipping them and anything that they have
to say about it. Yeah, because the UN greater than
sign EU. Your No Agenda show has receipts, people. You
know, this is so scandalous and it was played up
zero by the media. Zero? Well, she used an expletive
on a call, you know, so we can't play the
expletive because she said a bad word. It's not about
that, people. Listen to what they're doing. What they did,
they did it. I did catch a, um... I can't
say it's native. I think it is native advertising for
credit cards. But it also has all these sub, there's
a lot of subtext involved. Again, NBC. And this is
about just kind of a rundown of the benefits of
credit card usage. I thought it was, this will be
my Dvorak tip of the day because there's a lot
of good information in here. But as I, I've had
mixed feelings about it running because I believed it was
a native ad to begin with. And then I don't
know what the purpose was. And it was also kind
of promoting the cashless society, which I don't like. I
thought there was a lot of good information in this
particular native ad on NBC, which I didn't realize they
did. All right, everybody, stand by. Right after this clip,
it will be time for Dvorak's Tip of the Day.
This is the tip of the day. Here's the tip
of the day. What you might call the hidden power
of plastic. Perks and benefits a lot of credit card
holders don't even know they have. Ways to get refunds,
get services without any charges, saving you money in the
process. NBC's JoLynn Kent explains. As you use your credit
card this holiday season, you should know it may have
hidden benefits that can save you big money in a
pinch.
Scared. I didn't know what to do. When Lauren Bergman's
car broke down, she called the number on the back
of her American Express card as a last resort. The
company sent a tow truck free of charge. I never
in a million years would have imagined that my credit
card could do all the things that it could do
and that they would be my saving grace. And when
Bergman dropped and shattered her iPhone after her Apple warranty
was up, her card gave her a 100% refund. Many
popular credit cards offer these kinds of little-known benefits. 41%
offer extended warranties. 57% provide purchase protection, like reimbursing you
for items that are lost, stolen, or damaged. 47% give
price protection, refunding the difference if the price drops on
an item within four months after purchase. And 26% guarantee
returns, even when stores don't. You could be missing out
on hundreds of dollars a year in extra benefits from
your credit card company. Everything from roadside assistance to paying
for your hotel flight due to weather-related travel concerns. But
they don't cover everything. They usually exclude cars, jewelry, medical
equipment, and computer software. At the end of the day,
you never know when it could really help you out.
Experts say call or check online to discover the perks
that may be hiding in plain sight. Jolene Kent, NBC
News, New York. Up next tonight... So, that's the tip.
I think it was a tip, and I remember that
I think American Express, depending on the card you have,
would actually cover your extra insurance that you could pay
for a rental, car rental. By the way, this also
incorporated fake news, NBC's version of fake news, because that
woman who was super scared and she realized she gets
a free tow. She could call a tow truck herself,
but she gets a free tow from American Express. They
showed her on the phone in her car. They showed
the tow truck coming in. And then they showed her
happy as a clam as the tow truck took her
car off. Yeah, I would say that's native ad for
sure. It was a native ad and that was fake
news. There was no way that this woman had a
camera crew with her when her car broke down and
she was so super scared. So what was that? That
was a reenactment. It did not say reenactment at the
bottom of the screen. They should just use one of
our jingles. Which one? And you choose which one you
want. We got tons of them. Fake news? We got
tons of fake news. We got anything you want. FAKE
ME Alright everybody! It's got big news on it. Anyway,
I just thought I'd throw that out there as a
tip. More importantly. You bought a pig? Oh, yeah, we
had a, well, I've gotten, yeah, we bought a pig
to eat. Yeah, I'd like to hear the story about
the pig you bought to eat. Did you and Michael
Butler bought a pig? We split a pig, yeah. You
split a pig. So how does this process go? Where
do you, do you go to the pig market, the
pig store? No, no, we bought this from Future Farmers
of America auction at the Alameda County Fair. Do they
have a website? Do you do this online or you
go there? No, no, you have to go to the
auction. And you see the pig and you go like,
you look tasty? Is that how it works? approach was
low bid low ball every every pig that came up
until one got through he didn't really want to buy
the pig is what you're saying no no he wanted
to buy the pig but he was real strict on
what he's going to pay okay and even though it's
like a tax write-off and there's a bunch of what
wait a minute buying a pig is a tax write-off
well if you buy a pig at an auction for
future farmers of america or 4-h at a county fair
and you pay one cent over the market price of
hogs and then at that point which you will because
these pigs are not you get to write off that
money as a charitable contribution. Because the money goes to
the kids who get to, you know, it helps them
to college, to go to school. What kids? The kids
who raise the pigs. You took a pig from a
kid? Yeah, and apparently the kid was in tears. Oh,
no. And Martina was there, Butler's daughter, and she says
that she doesn't know if she can eat the pig
named Rosie. Butler, on the other hand, got a picture
with the pig. And so we got this. By the
way, the pig is delicious. So, so, so Butler got
it and the kid, apparently they all do this and
you have to kind of, I guess, tolerate it. The
kid, a little 11 year old girl, you know, she's
in tears. It was her pet pig and you told,
you took the pig and ate it. Yes. You're such
a horrible man. You should go back and you should
go back to the kid and say, here, you want
some bacon from here? He apologized to her, but the
pig was raised to be eaten, not to be hanging
around the house. You're a mean old man. I wasn't
there. You're a horrible man. It was Butler who was
the mean old man. Hey, kid, your pig looks delicious.
Butler wants a picture with the pig. He wants to
know the name of the pig. So anyway, so we
went to the butcher, a great butcher out in Manteca.
Wait, can I ask you? I need to understand the
process. point alive. Yes. So the pig is like, squee,
squee, squee, squee, and you take the. So there's a
kid crying over here. Yeah. There's Butler doing Facebook pictures
with the pig. Yeah. And you're taking the pig to
a great butcher. Oh, the butcher's fantastic. Okay. Yeah. Anyway,
it's a good Portuguese butcher, and they actually make linguiça
just at the shop. You're going to have to go
there to get it. So anyway, yeah, so he bought
a pig, and there was all sorts of processes. I'm
going to write a little paper on this and sell
it. Is he doing a meet-up in Yellowstone? That's what
he wants to know. My wife has always been wanting
to go and would love to meet him. She has
a crush on him from the MTV days. I hope
I don't disappoint in IRL. Well, actually, you look pretty
much like you did. No, I don't. The hair is
much shorter. Well, you don't have that ludicrous wig. It
was not a wig, a-hole. It wasn't a wig. Look
at your own hair. Just because it's thinning out... Be
careful, man. Take a look at that hair. It was
not a wig. This is ridiculous. Now you sound like
every dickhead who says something about Donald Trump's hair. This
is how stupid it is. Well, I've never said that.
With that wig. Well, it looked like a wig to
me. How about those glasses when you couldn't pull apart
the stupid PC in the video, Dvorak? You're looking like
Buggles. Those were the glasses that were avant-garde during that
era. Avant-garde? How about avant-douche? Here's another big story. This
is the one on conspiracies. Even apocalyptic. We all crave
explanations for things we don't understand, so some of us
fill in the blanks with conspiracy theories. We dug into
that with Anna Merlin, author of Republic of Lies, American
Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power. Hey, how
come we weren't interviewed? What the hell is that? There's
a whole book. American Conspiracy Theorists. Did you get a
call? Did you get an email? Memo? Nothing? conspiracy theories
went from fringe sites, some of them actual disinformation sites,
to eventually places like Fox News and that's sort of
where they stopped. And now they have another stop which
is they go from Fox News to the president or
from fringe sites like InfoWars straight to the president. Again,
again, again we're being snubbed. Hello, hello, crackpot here. I'd
like my props. And this problem continues to get worse
and worse. psychological extension of all of this Oh, this
is so good, John. What do you think is really
happening in the world when it comes from Infowars straight
to the president? Out of control tinfoil hattery. So one
thesis is that especially state-backed disinformation sources like the ones
we've seen in Russia, like the Internet Research Agency, that
one of their goals is to make the information ecosystem
so chaotic and so unstable and so unrecognizable reliable that
people start believing that the actual objective truth is not
knowable and that they should stop looking for it. Oh,
success. Wow. Do you believe this? So conspiracies, by the
way, only right wing. There's never been a left wing
conspiracy. They're all right wing. Wait, stop. Clip of the
day for that one. Just definitely clip of the day.
Clip of the day. And Chiep talks through this whole
thing. And it all culminated in Fox News. That's right.
And the other route is from Infowars direct to the
president. Alex Jones, hotline to Trump. Hey, listen up. Wait
until you hear my update on Seth Rich. Maybe we
can get in next year's retrospective. Alright, then let me
give you a new jingle. War on Chicken. Did some
guy crank that out right during the show? Hell yeah.
Hell yeah. That's our audience, man. That's Yellow Jacket. That's
Yellow Jacket, man. I'm telling you. How awesome is that?
Well, we've had the war on terror. We've had the
war on women. I think the war on chicken is
just about par for the course. Perfect. This is another

you want to get a Cru Beaujolais. It's called Cru

it's like Fleury, Brouilly, Morgon, there's a bunch of them.
And they're all listed in Google. You can type that
into Google and you'll get a wiki page. list them
off. Those are better. You want Beaujolais Village. It's kind
of the lowest quality you can get. But the point
is, 2015, many of the Beaujolais experts believe that 2015
Beaujolais are the best since the 1940s. And I have
had expensive ones. I've had cheap ones. Every 2015 Beaujolais
I've had, from cheap to very expensive, very expensive ones
are outrageous. These are the most delicious wines. for the

tip. tip of the day tip of the day we
always have a tip on this show you always learn
something And I would like to remind everybody, today is
day number 666 of our 14 days to flatten the
curve. Damn it, I screwed it up. You had it.
But it is day 666. That figures. So this has
got to be one of those big ones. And on
this very important day. It's a devilish scam. We receive
the following headline, which just made my day. There is
no evidence of pandemic mass formation psychosis, according to Reuters
and the Associated Press. They would know. you What the
hell? What is going on? Why would they? That's actually,
by the way, for them to say that is a
sign that it exists. It has to be. It has
to be. The full quote, mass formation psychosis is not
an academic... Who wrote this? There is no such thing
as the Associated Press saying anything. Okay. Someone at the
Associated Press said it on behalf of the Associated Press?
Yes. Was it approved by the board of directors? What's
the deal? Well, I believe so, seeing as, well, it's
Reuters and the Associated Press, and we know that there's
some Pfizer folks over at Reuters. They've both independently reported
that. But this was a, as you point out, they
pulled it together. The full headline is, Mass formation psychosis
is not an academic term recognized in the field of
psychology, nor is there evidence of any such phenomenon occurring
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple experts in crowd psychology have
told Reuters and the Associated Press. So that's how they
do it. And then the AP fact check. Mass formation
psychosis, an unfounded theory spreading online, suggests millions of people
have been hypnotized into believing mainstream ideas to combat COVID-19.
Psychology experts say the concept is not supported by evidence.
See, that's a little different. So they're not discrediting the
theory. They're saying there's no, this is, by the way,
this is one of your favorite ways of doing it.
There's no evidence of. There's no evidence that we would
like the mouse. Hey, I wasn't going to say that.
That's what it refers to. Yeah, but there's no evidence.
And there was no evidence, by the way. Of the
mouse? Yeah, it just came out. How's there going to
be any evidence? It's a trick. I see this on
the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it
will result in fights breaking out. Because it's just so
annoying to watch. Guy takes his bag of peanuts and
he throws a pile of them into his palm of
his hand and then he makes a fist. around the
nuts and then he shakes his fist to try to
bring a nut to the little hole STOP Stop! And
then he throws a nut in his mouth from his
fist. Then he does it again. He shakes and throws
and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to
watch. Oh, my gosh. It just needed porn music. Your
description is fabulous. I've got to produce that. There is
that part of it. You can look at all these
things as obscene, but that's exactly what you see. This
guy shaking his fist and popping a peanut. It's nasty.
It's nasty. It's very nasty. I agree. It's nasty. are
flying we look at each other i'm like i'm gonna
do it i'm gonna fist him I'm fisting. You fisted.
I'm fisting. You know, the Shantytown thing did come up
in the conversation. I'm of the opinion that... You're just
going to have to bite the bullet in these towns,
these liberal towns, and let a shanty town crop up.
It goes on in South America. I don't like your
idea. I know you don't. Nobody does. But it's the
most realistic thing you can do. Let's be honest about
it. But you have shanty towns in multiple cities in
California, and it hasn't produced any... Where? There's no real
true shanty town. Every street corner! No, that's not a
shanty town. Well, okay. I mean, how many... That is
just a bunch of people hanging around and, you know,
hanging out with tents. Yeah. No, no. Okay. I'm not
talking about camping, which is what they call it now.
camping yeah not homeless you're just camping oh yeah just
people camping yeah no I'm talking about you get a
couple of acres you put some acres together in an
area that's really some places you can get water to
usually a water truck that would work bring it in
once in a while and you never have their own
buckets and let that let you build little lean twos
hmm Well. To have its own government. It's like in
Brazil in the favelas. They have their own governments. Yeah,
but that's my point is the favelas are a huge
issue. Yeah. Well, so would shantytowns. But this is, I
don't see any other solution. Yeah, but. They can't seem
to address the problem correctly. So you might as well
just let it fall into third world style. Well. It
works outside of Africa. All of these little towns in
Africa, there's little shantytowns outside the cities. Mazadeo, South America.
There used to be, Romani encampments all over Europe and,
you know, similar to a shantytown, they move. I mean,
you can't do anything about it because they're not doing
anything about it. Well, it go to a fallback position.
So what you're saying is designate an area where the
shanty town can prosper. You make it sound like it's
a joke. No, no. That's exactly what you're saying. A
designated place. This is not your idea alone. People are
saying, hey, make a designated camping ground. Yeah, well, it
should be a shantytown. A camping ground is no good.
Those tents are no good. You want, you know, you
want a shantytown. You want the kind of thing that
people can go and do reports about. Oh, look at
these people. They're living like horrible. And then they show
that. And there's a open sewer. You want an open.
OK, you could have to design these things. Scott Adams
has got something like this, but he's more, you know,
it's not going to be like my thinking. You want
an open sewer so you can be aghast at the
open sewer and the turd going down the sewer. You
know, it's just open. You want kids that are half
naked. wandering around you all dirty you know sucking their
thumbs barefoot barefoot barefoot playing with a rusty can Lots
of dogs barking at everything. We had a quasi shantytown
here in the East Bay over on the bulb.
An old ex-garbage dump that's over by Golden Gate Fields
in Albany. There was this big area that was in
the very far reaches of this. It's like a peninsula
that is built of garbage dumps from the 20s and
30s. So it's green now, and they've got trees, and
everything's growing on it. But there was a huge shantytown
out there. It was a genuine one. You couldn't even
go out to it because there's too many pit bulls
guarding the place. But it was a shantytown, and they
let it go for years and years. And they finally
went in there in the middle of the night and
tore it down. Well, go back to what else we
need in the shanty town. I was kind of enjoying
it. We were at Barefoot Children playing with the rust.
Barefoot Children, open sewers, a lot of lean-to's. Lean-to's, yes,
yes, very good. Leftover, you know, that's the kind of
stuff that you make for kind of a galvanized corrugated
steel. Yes, very good. Chunks of that and corrugated fiberglass
that's just got this little curvy thing and then it's
pounded in. Boat trailer with half a boat on it?
Oh, there's definitely a bunch of boat trailers with half
a boat. People living in the boats. Open fires, burn
barrels everywhere. Especially in the winter. I'm the dentist that
took the heat for suggesting oral cancer is on the
rise. Horrible and from HPV virus and oral sex. This
is a letter we didn't read. I don't remember this.
I'm done stewing. I would like to congratulate both of
you for the thousand shows. Okay, it would be good
to even after I read this. I've learned a lot
and laughed a lot. Thanks. I read John's one-page editorials
in PC Magazine going back to my days in college.
I saw the TV show and the Tech Grouch, all
great stuff. Oh, Tech Grouch. You and two other people
watched it. grouch when i heard he was on a
podcast and jerry pernell was there too i had to
listen to leo guy made when he's kind of complaining
here about leo uh when then i found out about
noah jenna when mtv started i was studying physics i
would put it on the back as background music and
thought who would ever want to watch music videos then
one day i saw the video by robert palmer simply
irresistible simply irresistible. So there was this guy as a
sidekick with J.D., Adam Curry. Never heard of him, but
listening to him was interesting. I miss his treaties on
aliens on Earth and moon bases. Those shape-shifting Jews are
space-goers, too. Being Jewish myself, I can attest to it.
There it is. The Re-Sign and Shape-Shifter. Welcome! As the
episodes went by, Atlas set the hook and John had
baited. As I'm now an instantite and a mini baron,
it sounds a little better. I'd like some jobs, Karma.
Obamacare has been great for America, but as a small
business owner, it's gutted the profit for my business. Oh,
yeah. It's horrible. We keep saying. Yeah. Okay, so the
only one I couldn't get this story, so I only
have the teaser for it, but I can explain the
story. For some reason, I just couldn't get the story.
But here's the teaser's UK heli payments. Coming up next
here on Sky News, giving away money to heal a
sick economy. How so-called helicopter payments could be the cure
for a global slowdown. helicopter payment what so this is
in ireland and so these these child literal helicopters the
big boys no yes and they're throwing bags and bags
of money out of the shop no no no no
this is yes i don't understand they can't just they
can't just land what's going on he's throwing it Here
I am, ladies and gentlemen, in my stealth helicopter. I
got to hear that clip again. You need to get
the whole story. Coming up next here on Sky News,
giving away money to heal a sick economy. How so-called
helicopter payments could be the cure for a global slowdown.
You're full of crap, Dvorak. No, I'm telling you. They're
throwing bags of money out of the choppers. And it
almost reminds me of some old movie where the king
is throwing pennies at the peasants and they're following him.
And they're all these little boys and girls that are
waifs. And they're all grabbing the coins and the money
off the ground. Let's go but they have they haven't
actually done this yet have this is not occurred They
showed a video of the chopper throwing money but bags
of money flying out of the chopper. Yeah This is
crazy. I'm trying to find this now. I want to
find some pictures of it Okay, well the memes are
there there's helicopters with a big piggy bank underneath I
mean Someone's already working on it. Okay, perfect Helly, helly
payments. Who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing? I
don't put anything past these people. But Kress, our producer
from Denmark, says by the 16th of November in Denmark,
all mink are to be put down due to a
mutation. The Danish CDC, Statenserumsinstitut. They say they have found
at least five mutations of the COVID-19 virus. They call
it Cluster 5. And they say it jumps from mink
to people. I'm telling you, John, there's some secret here.
There is something going on with this mink. So they're
stepping up the test by threefold. for everybody and they
have to call all of the mink in all of
Denmark by the 16th. But here's what's interesting. He's heard
people saying that... Hey, first they come for the ferrets,
but they may be coming for our pets next. And
I like this. I like this. Yes, I like it
a lot. Dogs are people too. They're coming for your
dogs. They're going to cull your dogs. Well, this makes
my wife's investment in mink coats. Worth it. Well, you
know what Mimi's been doing for probably 15 years? I
think she's got maybe five or six of these coats.
Huh. Uh, and then she does research on him after
she gets him. Because of the West Coast and its,
oh, fur thing, you can get a mink coat on
Craigslist. that happened to be owned by some grandma. She
bought it in the 30s or 40s from some furrier
in New York City. And you can get it for
like 100 bucks. because you don't want to own one.
And so she's been buying a bunch of these when
she sees them. She doesn't buy every one, but she's
bought a number of them. For like a hundred bucks.
And we do a little research afterwards. And the original
price of the coat was like eight grand in 1930.
Oh, yeah. In 1930, it was eight grand. Holy crap.
That was might as well be an eight, 80,000, if
not more. So now these coats will be more valuable
unless they can maintain this hatred of dead animal fur.
But people out there on the lookout, you should go
check this out. In certain parts of the country, you're
going to be able to get these very expensive... coats
fur coats for next to nothing on craigslist your tip
of the day This is Nutball00, two nuts on population
control. contributing to the process under the pretense that they're
doing a good thing by staying home and raising children.
We don't need children. If you find yourself pregnant, there
are options and you can have an abortion. No babies.
Cut off the baby factors. We have 7.5 billion with
a B humans on the planet. That's too much. The
actual ideal amount seems to be under 1 billion. Under
$1 billion. We have $7.5 billion. No babies. Women who
have babies and stay home to raise them should not
be viewed as doing a good thing. That's not a
good thing. It's completely not what the situation calls for
at all. I'm sorry. Find another way to contribute and
be valued. That's not a good way. I'm sorry. Do
they have a GoFundMe or a Patreon that I can
contribute to? They don't need it. They make a lot
of money. They do? How do they make money? I
believe so. If you check her out, she does a
lot of healing things, and she's in Washington, D.C., making
a fortune. Okay. Now... The lifting of the... Two of
them have their arms in the air, but the younger
one, who's obviously the mom hates. She had a baby,
obviously, and this girl, and the girl can't even say
anything except that's true, that's true, that's true. In fact,
they even isolated it. I got an ISO of it.
That's true. That's true. So she's like diamond and silk?
That's all she does? That's true. She just says that's
true. That's true. She does say stuff once in a
while. And when she says something... I'd say 90% of
the time the old lady shuts her down and says
no and tells her no. And this was during a
moment where she explained the arm in the air thing.
What she's doing is she's pulling the strands of imaginary
strands of. Anger and fatigue and every bad thing that
you have, you're pulling it out of your body and
you're holding it into the air and throwing it away.
So she's doing that constantly.
And the old lady does it once in a while,
too. And when the daughter explained this, the old lady,
the daughter says, I invite you can all do this
yourself. You can pull the fatigue and frustrations and the
things about life out of your body and throw them
in the air. And the old lady says, no, you
can't. It's too late for them. I don't know if
you saw the newsletter after it was finalized. I got
it from No Agenda Social. This picture of the woman,
the quote-unquote whistleblower who we spotted as a spook. And
it's a tweet from her, and she's joined Twitter on
October 6th, and within a day... She's got a blue
checkmark. She's got a blue checkmark within a day, and
she's got already 50,000 followers within a day. If you
go now, it's like 70 or something. And I just
keep looking at that, shaking my head, reminding me that
we did have a clip of one of the women
who was, I think, one of the disguise experts, somebody
who worked at the agency for a long time. And
she said, well, we have a real problem with social
media because we don't know if it's a tell that
our people don't have an account. They've never had an
account. They're not on LinkedIn. They're not on Twitter. They're
not on Facebook. And she's worried that it's a tell
that it might indicate that they're intelligence people. A lot
of them don't even have the same name. real life
and they use pseudonyms just consistently. Wasn't that, wasn't that,
that was Kara Swisher. One of the things that the
organization does, they encourage folks not to have much of
a virtual presence. And what that resulted in is a
lot of our folks who had been here for a
while had no idea how much digital dust was being
created, how much of a signature it was not to
have a digital persona. Like if you're not using Facebook
or Instagram and things like that. Particularly in my business,
right? It's like, you know, conversations about is that actually
a tell if you have no digital footprint who are
you right that's the directorate of digital innovation yours is
more like the Q branch and she kind of sounds
a little bit milieu ish Lee like the right you
think right When I was at the Air Pollution District,
we had the opportunity. I always, always take seminars. I'm
a big fan of these things. I took a one-day
seminar on memo writing. It was called CYA 101? No,
but you could get your CYA information out of this
memo writing class. I'll bet. It was a whole day
of how to write a memo, which seems like a
stupid day off. But no, to this day, I can
write some of the greatest memos you've ever read. As
an outside of government writer who's also been trained in
writing memos. This woman did not know how to write
this memo properly that she sent out to her email.
It should have been written in the form of a
memo. have had all the disclaimers at the beginning about
how great the vaccination is and how we're not trying
to do anything she could have had the whole thing
put together in a package in such a way that
she would have never gotten any kickback whatsoever in fact
she would have but would she have achieved anything yes
she would have been able to continue with it with
this idea of filling the vars database and what would
have happened that would be even better if it was
done correctly it would have been it would have gone
out like a virus and hit all the other hospitals
so none of the hospitals would have any indication of
reporting more or less than the average. Right, right, right.
It could have worked out, but because she was panicking...
No, no, it's because she wasn't thinking about the organization.
She's only thinking about patients. She didn't think about... She
wasn't thinking right. Well, no, she's not thinking right. It's
a very endearing lady. You can still get the job
done. You can still get the job done within these
large organizations correctly and not get the blowback that she
got and end up with her tittering. Are there some
other tips you can give the producers when it comes
to important memo writing? One of the main things about
memo writing is you always open the memo. For one
thing, they have to be formally formatted. They have to
be formatted as a memo. Is that a template in
Word? I never saw one, but there might be. Okay,
I'm just saying, this is exit strategy time. There should
be a no agenda memo template. My only tip is
going to be the following. The opening of all memos
has to be extremely complimentary and a kind of a
rundown of how great everything is. Oh, really? Yeah, you
open up with how fabulous everything is. And it's usually
a short three-sentence paragraph, maybe two. And then from there,
you go on. your grousing. The only memos I ever
wrote started like this: "To memorialize our conversations." That's the
boss CYA note. To memorialize our conversation where I told
you you would no longer be reporting into the VAERS
database. Actually, technically, a CYA note, which I've done. In
fact, I saved my job once from doing one, and
it was on accident. Okay, do tell. A CYA note
is to point out, constantly be pointing out stuff in
writing. issues that you have with something that doesn't work
or something that you didn't get any feedback from someone,
just little bitty things. And you put a string of
those out asking for help. And what happened to me
once was that... I was not, some product that was
inspecting it when I was an inspector at Trailmobile was
going out improperly. And it wasn't, because it couldn't be
fixed. It was unfixable. The design of this product made
for Pacific Corries or some company. It was a cargo
container that was made out of fiberglass and it just
wasn't going to work. And I immediately sent some notes
in about it and I never got any feedback. It
went on for months until the final inspectors started catching
these things to the carpet for these things being... Ah,
you had your memos. I said, well, I sent it.
Look at this. Yeah, I had my mamos and then
boom, I was back on the job. It was instant.
Somebody else got fired. Of course. Someone bit the bullet
for that one. Oh my. Anyway, so the medical system
is clearly... commercialized to a degree where the Hippocratic Oath
is just a part of the responsibility. It's not the
overarching thing. It's just a part of it. Or what's
left of the... Corporate responsibilities always supersedes. Say it again,
what do you want it? Sir Chris Vox. Yeah, at
the round table? Oh, chips and dip. Chips and dip?
Done, sir. I thought that was that to round table,
to be honest about it. It always is, but he
may want some onion dip. I'll get some onion dip.
He didn't say onion dip. He's getting onion dip. Well,
you didn't say, I'm going to give people a good,
uh... He's getting onion dip. If he doesn't specify, he's
getting what we got in the castle. You get it.
Here's what you do. I'm just, there's a generalized tip.
Yes, a tip. There's a couple of these seasonings, one
made by Badia and the other one made by this
other Mexican company. But Badia Saison Total, it's a big
giant seasoning. And it's great for everything. You get it
at Mexican stores. And you just buy any sour cream
and you take about two tablespoons of this Badia Saison
Total and you mix it into the sour cream. Best
dip ever. Another snack. That was your snack tip of
the day. It was the guy. Okay, the joke goes
something like this. A guy is having the, he's got
hemorrhoids and he's at the doctors and he's having the
glass rod treatment for the hemorrhoids and it's costing him
$200 a treatment. He's got to do it a couple
of times a week and he's getting, it's adding up.
He's getting kind of sick of it. And he says,
doc, is there any way that I can, this is
costing me too much money. Can, can any way I
can do this at home or is there some, something
else that we can be done here? And he says,
yeah, well, okay. The doctor reluctantly says, yeah, but, The
glass rod's kind of expensive. It's a thousand bucks. Believe
me, that'll save me money. So he sells him the
glass rod and takes it home to his wife and
gonna have her do the treatment. And he says, honey,
I admitted you're gonna have to do the glass rod
treatment for my hemorrhoids. And she says, okay, what do
you want? He says, okay, well, the first thing you
do is you get the glass rod out. And he
says, you put your right hand on my right shoulder
and your left hand on my left shoulder. And why
that son of a bitch. I'm gonna show my support
by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who
could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab You have
your regular mic? Yeah, nothing's changed. Maybe it's just, maybe
like a fine wine. I'm kidding, Basie. Basie, you're with
A. One of the guys in the papers in the
2000 word, 2000 word, 2000 page document, 2000 plus pages,
is Marvin Minsky. Big shot at the Media Lab. major,
major guy. I remember running into him. In fact, he
personally threw me out of a meeting. Do tell. We
need to hear this. Tell us first who Marvin Minsky
is and then how you got kicked out of the
meeting. One of the famous...
Artificial intelligence guys from the 80s, the first go-round, and
maybe even the one before. Every 30 years or so,
this artificial AI. Didn't he kind of write the book
on artificial intelligence? He wrote a book. Hey, at least
he published it. Well, you got me on that. So
I got invited as a lark. uh by will hurst
to go into the media lab with the executives of
the Hearst Corporation who are getting a tour that you
were you didn't have to sign a non-disclosure uh-huh And
I was like, Hurst and I were just wandering, we're
in the kind of just wandering, we're just in the
group. There's about one, two, three, four, maybe eight, nine
people. including the CEO and Randy Hurst and all these
other people. We're going through this thing and we're getting
to see the dog and pony show that they put
on, which is where I found out a number of
interesting things that I used later in certain columns because
I could. I didn't have to worry about being nondisclosed
on any of it. And so we're going from meeting
to meeting where these guys are just full of crap
and they're showing us everything in the place. Got a
great tour. And I have a few. ribald comments to
make and so we go into this final meeting and
there's minsky in there with uh the guy that's ahead
at that time whose name is deluding me Vulva's Wired
Magazine. And Minsky sees me. He knows who I am.
And he says, what's this guy doing here? What's Dvorak
doing here? Pretty much. This guy. And everybody's looking left
and right. And I'm sitting there with a stupid smile
on my face. And they asked me to leave. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. So we'll actually, we'll left with me. The
two of us left. Oh, that's cool. At least it
was from what I could tell. Yeah. And so we
left, we, and it was at the end anyway. So
who cares? And we went out and did something in
Boston somewhere. And then as you left, like, that's the
mouse guy. Hey guys. Thank you again for the best
podcast in the universe. I have a couple of edibles
the other day and ended up listening. I ended up
listening to a recent episode of Brett Weinstein's podcast. Necessary.
He had to be stoned. He was discussing atrazine and
frogs, which we talked about 10 years ago. Well, Alex
Jones told us that it's turning the frogs gay. Well,
he said it was turning the frogs gay, but I'm
the one who had the clips from the professor at
Cal that was discussing atrazine in the water and mentioned
the possibility. I think I figured, and people should, we
should look those clips up again. I have them. I
have them. I have them all. It's a whole series.
I think I figured that the real reason they want
us feasting on insects. This hypothesis of how carnivorous frogs
should be exposed to the herbicide. to the herbicide atrazine.
It was most likely due to their diet bugs. The
bugs eat the poison plants, we eat the bugs, and
the little boy's dick. start to falling off. Yay! Yay!
Game, set, match. The lizard people win. He's still on
edibles, it seems to me. Hey, man, for jingles, can
I get an I Like Bugs, Fauci Wheeze, and Trump
Space Force? Thanks. So Darren O'Neill brought us this fantastic,
I liked it a lot. You had an issue with
it for a specific reason. It was a four-pack of
Duracell C batteries. I think it would be C. Didn't
look like C or Ds. And it had the copper
top look. It had no agenda on it instead of
Duracell, of course, guaranteed 33 years in storage. It was
like one of those plastic packs. And it almost didn't
pass because you hate the actual product. I do, and
I tell you why. After I found this online guy
who's a battery nut who turned me on to Allmax
and Fuji batteries, which is the ones I order now,
although Allmax are harder to find, but Fuji's have always
been around. Because every time I buy those Duracells from
Costco, I put them in some device or other, I
come back a month later, and they're in there, they're
exploded, I have to clean out the goo that's in
there, it's a mess. batteries are garbage. I do not
like them. And I have photos. I've taken photos. I've
posted them every once in a while. Duracell batteries don't
hold up and then they burst. They go to something.
They burst inside product and you have to clean out
the mess and hopefully you can still get a good
connection. I've never had an Allmax battery do that. Ever.
For years. Allmax. A-L-L-M-A-C-S? Allmax? No. A-L-L-M-A-X. Allmax. Allmax. Never
heard of the product. Do you have a couple points
of that? I wish. Allmax. Okay. Allmax from now on
is the battery of the No Agenda show. Fuji also
makes a terrific product. I had to go with Fuji
recently because, Costco, because Amazon stopped carrying the Allmax huge
pack you could buy for like a few dollars. Oh,
no. Now I've got this clip. This is another one.
So he's so hard up Beto is that he went
to go on Sharpton. Yes. Now I'm going to kind
of jump to the punchline so I can get this
out of the way. And then I'm going to play
the whole Beto clip because I'm not playing, because I
want this to be, I've created the ISO that everybody's
all jitty about. list and it goes into the files
and I'm gonna play I'm gonna do this backwards I'm
gonna do a back ass word I'm going to play
the gaff first so we get that out of the
way and then we can play the sharp the Sharpton
and Beto actually talking but this is gurgle and Hitler
Sharpton ISO perhaps he was influenced by gurgle and the
Third Reich So he says that Trump was influenced by
Gergel. Gergel. Gergel. Gergel and the Third Reich. Reich, yes,
the Third Reich. Let's just listen to it again, just
because it's so beautiful. Perhaps he was influenced by Gergel
and the Third Reich. I mean, that is the end
of show, I mean, no doubt, end of show ISO.
Gergel. So he has this guy. And meanwhile, of course,
Beto hasn't got the nerve to say, I think you
mean. Well, careful, I want to make a statement right
now. Yeah. And this is an, I think we may
have talked about it previously, in a general American sense,
there is no R in Goebbels, okay? It's G-O-E-B-B-E-L-S, and
there's an umlaut in there somewhere. There is an R
in Goebbels, though. Yes, but even Beto says Goebbels. It's
not Goebbels. Yeah, Americans tend to say Goebbels. It's stupid.
It's Goebbels. Goebbels or Goebbels. Goebbels. Goebbels. Goebbels. You might
as well say Goebbels. I mean, it's just as dumb
as Goebbels. Well, Washington. But he could have at least
corrected him in some way. He just let it slide.
Of course. Because he hasn't got the guts. Nobody has
the guts to say anything to Sharpton. Oh, yeah. Sharpton's
an agent of change, man. Release the orb! Say it's
not so! If you know, you know. He's resorted to
being an Uber driver. Look at all these boxes. We
love you. Live! This is an outrage. They're out of
control. traffic control shut it down hottest day ever on
earth of all time okay frenchie game set match the
lizard people win the carbon is you take your pants
off the public i'm an egg white Last on the
list is Sir Puck. He's in North Carolina. Flat Rock.
Imagine somebody, what are we going to name this town,
Bill? I don't know. It was the first thing you
see. Let's call it that. You know, that's what the
Indians do when they name their kids. Oh, there's a
Flat Rock. I recently got 100% off social media except
LinkedIn, which is a piece of shit. Which is worse.
It's like, that's the horrible social media thing. LinkedIn, geez.
Well, unless you're trying to get a job, but it
doesn't work for that either. What happens, neither you or
I know, but the Keeper does, there are a lot
of dudes who stalk professional women on LinkedIn. It's quite
annoying. I believe that. I have a story to tell.
Do tell. I have a fake woman, beautiful, beautiful, that
is on LinkedIn. Every good story should start with, I
have a fake woman. That's always a win. I have
a fake woman, a fake woman, a beautiful fake woman
that's on LinkedIn. And I posted her up as a,
you know, with a good background. The whole thing is
just as a honey trap to see what kind of
douchebags would come on to her. Oh, this is you.
You are the fake woman. Yeah. Oh, sweetness. telling you
now i now i know what you did after you
left second life now i know where all that So
it's pretty embarrassing. I can see what she's talking about.
And it's people I know. I've kept it to myself.
Really? People you know who have been hitting her up?
Well, because I managed to link up with her in
such a way that she got into my network. And
next thing you know, she's got her own little network
that's pretty big. It has a lot of my people
in it. And they're hitting on her. Now, you know
what you're supposed to do.
had. So can you please, in your most fatherly tone,
say, I'm proud of you, kid. I'm proud of you,
kid. It will give... It will give... I felt that
even. Now we get to Eli. Eli the coffee guy
in Bensonville, Illinois. 20602. And he says, John, I love
the good news segment, but if you ever get rid
of it, replace it with a tip of the day.
Yes. Well, that's what we've done. Are you doing a
tip of the day today? I do have a tip
of the day. Oh, excellent. Thanks to a great tip
I heard on the show a few years ago, we
recently tried a saw turn paired with foie gras. That's
the combo you want. That's the one. That's the one.
It always works. It's never a combo I'd normally have
gone for, but we loved it. In fact, saw turns,
especially if you have a good one that's just a
beauty. That's how I got my final and best wife.
Well, that's another tip. Uh-huh. I'll just say it. So,
a turn will get you laid. There you go. And,
ladies and gentlemen, I can be... I'm very proud as
a white man from the western part of the world
to let you know that we... are testing this first
vaccine on humans in Africa. Risk factor zero, baby. Go
for it. Does anyone see how sick this is? I
do. Thank you. Thank you. That's right. South Africa. Beautiful.
106. Let me see. How many are they going to
do? They're going to do a shitload of them. you
How many are they going to kill? Do they have
a number yet? How many are we going to hear
about? I know there's a lot of Africans looking really
scared. Uh-oh, here comes Dr. Bill with his syringe again.
We know what happened last time when he was here
with his other friend, Bill. Biden's on top of it.
I do have a clip of Biden ruminating on the
vaccine. Oh, he's on top of it? I can't wait
to hear it. When, God willing, we get this vaccine,
how will it be destroyed? Stop. Stop. Stop now. Stop.
Stop this show. Let's see. How would you spell that?
Vaxeline. Okay. Vaxeline.com. Registered. Got it. Nailed it. Nailed it.
For once. I'm going to hide my contact information for
an additional $3. Okay. Back to the Vaxeline. When, God
willing, we get this vaccine, how will it be distributed?
Where will it go? How will it get there? I
guarantee that it will be able to... way that all
Americans can live. all Americans have equal access to it.
Because the same thing's going to happen. Unless God willing,
we get a vaccine. Maybe one, if God was great,
maybe even in the fall. Wait a minute. What did
he say? First, was he praying to God not to
have a vaccine? At one point he says, the only
thing that can save us is getting a vaccine from
a vaccine. I don't know what he was saying. He's
a maniac. Right. Oh man, you just nailed it. so
good if god was great he'd make vaxeline to save
us from the evil Ladies and gentlemen, the next president
of the United States of America. Does anyone else see
that we are a big joke? Guns and Spokes. Guns
and Spokes on a couple of channels. Yeah, of course.
Heroes and Icons, I think, is that channel. How about
Little House on the Prairie? Little House on the Prairie
is on. I have not seen it. What's that on?
Where can I find it? I love Little House. I
can't remember which. It's one of the networks. It's one
of these. Screwy networks. I love Little House on the
Prairie. I read those books. I thought that show was
the worst. I hated Little House on the Prairie. Of
course you did. And the fact that it's on now
makes me... it makes me mad it's so stupid no
it was beautiful if you No. of good books that
Laura Ingalls wrote. This was really a one-off that we
could only use for that episode, done by CZ137. It
was just the best. on its knees bent over with
a American Standard. Jammed through him from the back with
blood dripping off the mouthpiece. And I should mention... little
time in the show with our slide whistles figuring out
which is the best way to grip it if you
didn't Somebody threw it. You remembered. All right, now we're...
Have a really solid grip and you could swing into
somebody and probably impale them with a slide whistle. So
you're lucky yours wasn't confiscated. Ain't no rules, there ain't
no vow. We can even stab a cow. You and
I will knife them through. Cause every day we pay
the price with a little sacrifice. Stab until the knife
pokes The TSA totally should have seen this as a
deadly weapon since our combo. Gone on to try different
grips. And I think the best way is you grip
it with the mouthpiece. And down, put your index finger.
The time is now for us to be bold 42
verges do await You don't want to be late Marder
drums with more than gold See, you got a good
grip. So it won't slide. Slide down as you're pushing
it through the bone and flesh. Burnout factor. I'm always
sad when people are doing a lot. Like Sir Chris
in Australia. I love the guy. He's doing so much
good work. Slow down. You don't need to do a
show, a song for every single show. You're gonna burn
out. Yeah. He won't listen. I actually did some lyrics
for him. He won't do those either. Well, you did
lyrics for him. Yeah, I got a song. I got
a whole... Anybody who wants to do a song, I
got lyrics for two songs. Well, because he sent another
one today, so it might be your song. I don't
know. I got the feeling that he got my lyrics
and believe me, the lyrics work. And he said, you
know, I'd rather write my own lyrics. I'm going to
write somebody. I'm not your slave. I'm an artist, dammit.
I do my own material. Yes. Understood. Gotcha. I love
doing this show. It's crappy. It's a crappy. It's a
real. It's a crummy oil, we should mention. Yeah, don't
you have to mix that oil? No, it's not that
bad. It's pretty bad, though. It's a... heavy sour oil
that's a typical brent type oil that comes from under
the water as opposed to land-based oils like west texas
which is some of the finest oil yes yes black
gold texas tea i was looking into this by the
way and the best oil in the world in terms
of like pure like you pump it diesel fuel you
can put it in a truck. Where's that? Algerian Saharan
crude. no sulfur, almost no sulfur, and the API, which
is the measure of the viscosity, basically, the higher the
number, the better, is the highest. And it sounds like
it's very similar to me. It reminds me when I
was an air pollution inspector in refineries or my thing.
We had a little refinery that was shuttered some years
ago called the Pacific Refinery that got some sort of
Bolivian. that was similar. They didn't even need a desulfurization
facility at the refinery, which is unbelievable. A little tidbit
there for you oil and gas guy out there. Yes,
yes. This is dynamite insight. It's not it. And the
problem is that everybody is watching two people, Tucker Carlson
and Laura. And because of that, Republicans in red states
in the vaccination rates and they are dying and they
are going to die. You are all going to die.
This is Dick Durbin, Senator Dick Durbin, talking about this
very
issue in the Senate. There are two a host of
programs on Fox Primetime that can only be characterized as
anti-vax quacks. I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson and
Laura Ingraham. And I appreciate him using the official no
agenda pronunciation of Laura Ingraham. One thing, a quack technically
refers to a doctor. It's always a doctor. You're not
a quack. You could be a crackpot or a nutball
or a number of things, but you're not a quack.
Quack is a doctor that is a bad doctor. discussed
a couple months ago, back when the allopaths came in
and medicine was taken over by the Rockefellers and they
were trying to cure cancer after that, they were looking
to cure cancer, there were cancer cures, certainly the one
that is still operating in Mexico, and those were branded
by big pharma, I'll just put it that way, as
quacks. So they're just rolling out the same script. When
you're against big pharma, not against medicine or against a
certain policy, then you're a quack, you see. So it's
the pharma, industry who wrote this for him that's the
way i deconstructed that's an interpretation i just think it
just pointing it out that durbin's full of shit but
uh it's interesting that they would do this this is
the congress of the united states bitching about a talk
show host That is really low end. Wait for it.
I'm referring, of course, to Tucker Carlson. and Laura Ingraham.
They have been spreading what I consider to be irresponsible
information about vaccines across America and about the effort of
this nation to deal with them. Here's the reality. We
have millions who've died across the world by this vaccine.
We may never have an accurate... There's just nothing like
it. This is the best one I've ever gotten. Did
you hear it? No, say it again. Oh, the switcheroo.
There's a switcheroo. Here's the reality. We have millions who've
died across the world by this vaccine. We may never
have an accurate count. That is the top of the
list. That is number uno. You can't get any better.
Truth wants to come out. This is no longer a
coincidence that this happens. He's reading a piece of paper.
We have hundreds of thousands who have died in the
United States. And now it is said repeatedly that those
who are headed to the hospital with the most serious
strains of COVID-19, 99.5% of them were not vaccinated. So
The facts are obvious here. We don't know this. Where's
that number come from? No, that's the talking point number.
And as witness... Can I stop you for a second
and bring up the talking point number? No, no, you
can't bring up the talking point because then they shut
you down immediately. No talking points for you. Oh my
god. That was crazy So, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Stop,
John. Stop, stop, stop. The minute you said, I'm bringing
up the talking point, right away you cut off. And
I'm leaving that in the show this time because I'm
sick of those guys doing it to us. Could you
pick it up from the talking point? The talking point
stems from Fauci, who when asked about the deaths he
did around about, he did some screwy thing where he
says 99.5% of all people who died of COVID were
unvaccinated. referring to the total number of people, the 500,000,
because recently not too many people have died, vaccinated or
unvaccinated. It's just a fact. Oh, you mean since the
beginning of the pandemic, that many people have died unvaccinated
because there was no vaccine? Yeah. He's counting that as
part of it? That was the whole scam. It was
a scam comment. And now Dick Durbin's bringing that number
in as though today. Oh. I've rethought my position. Oh.
On Mike Johnson. And I have two clips. Now, what
was your original position? That the CIA or somebody came
up to him and said, hey, look at this picture.
Yeah. What's that in your mouth, you think? Oh, John,
stop now. This is a family show. It's just a
family show. It could be eating succotash. Succotash, sure. Dig
the hole deeper. And now, ladies and gentlemen, first time
for a new segment on the show. John C. Dvorak
with the two. the day he's gonna tell us what
he would do in every possible way john just the
tip yeah we need jingles everybody we need jingles yeah
anything but that that's all we got okay so i'm
recommending a product all right that people will get a
kick out of it's an ai product which kind of
you know you will hate so you don't even shouldn't
even look at it but it's called 11 it's 11
labs.io is the URL and they just introduced the sound
effects section. And this thing has got, what makes it
fun, this 11 Labs, is the number of hallucinations that
it creates. Oh, and do you have any examples? I
do, but first I'm going to play a series of
douchebag clips. All from the same prompt. This is 11
Labs. I owe douchebags. Okay, here we go. Yeah, if
you're a douchebag. Yeah, if you're a douchebag. I don't
think so! YOU! JUICE BAG! you We finally found a
use for AI. That's fantastic. So now I want to
play the non-hallucination clip, which is she says exactly what
I put in as the prompt, then I'm going to
play the hallucination. This is non-hallucination clip. No, no, no,
you're playing the wrong clip. It says non-halluc... The clip
is titled Non-Hallucination. Sorry. Here we go. End of show,
you douchebag. Now I don't know what to choose. There's
only one left. And so, end of show, you douchebag,
which is in a sexy voice, which I didn't ask
for. I asked for a person saying, end of show,
you douchebag. And you also have to put it in
phonetically because they can't pronounce the actual spelling, douchebag. Oh,
really? Really? Yeah, really. What kind of AI is that?
Now you tell me. But it hallucinates so much. Now,
you just heard that clip. End of show- what is
it? End of show you douchebag. Here's the hallucination version.
How did that even come about? I don't understand. I
could have played, actually the hallucinations are funnier than any
of the clips, but it's like some of them are
just so, and there's music, there's a music bed on
a lot of them. I had one of them, I
didn't clip it, but I said, it's almost the same
clip with your douche bag, but it started playing, Papa's
got a brand new bag riff at the end, this
music thing. It's unbelievable, but this is a fun product.
for people to play with. And again, the name of
the product and the domain where we can find this
fine product is your tip of the day. 11labs.io. All
right, everybody. And they've just recently introduced the sound effects.
So you can do sound effects. All right. Another tip
from John C. Dvorak. It was just... *sad music* *sad
music* Believe me. I'm sorry. You are so right. You
making note on it? Noted. Noted. Noted. Yo Dirty Saudi
Arabian Ziyad money. Get some Saudi gold. What he says
he could say. You can mail the... NAMI for the
treasure. No! No, well, it's not even a color thing,
I don't think. Donate! You do the accounting, we don't
do it. You know, I did a column in PC
Magazine sometime in the 90s, I recall, because I was
kind of annoyed by the word nerd. Okay. And no
one had ever done an entomology of the word. And,
I mean, they did.
little bitty nerdy looking guy so it made nothing but
sense to me that this was what the etymology so
it's a it's a made up word made up by
dr seuss yeah cool yeah so it's made up by
dr seuss as a nerd and so i and so
i confirmed it with seuss and and his assistant and
geis is his name uh i can't remember his first
name the writer and he was a pretty old then
but he he knew he made it up and he
didn't realize that it was the you know it was
the formation the word nerd. I wrote all this history
out. And so then, so I thought it was kind
of cool that I developed, you know, found out the
origins of this word. And so then I went, and
then kind of the kicker to the story is I
went to the Universal Studios Park in Orlando and they
had an If I Ran the Zoo exhibit. The nerd
was not in it. Ah, and so you complained bitterly,
no doubt. I've always wondered when, you know, when we
go out to dinner, all these these classy restaurants. I
was just wondering, together, do we look like you're my
gay sugar daddy? You know, I don't think so. You
sure? Yeah, I'm pretty sure, because you can tell. I
mean, for one thing, I don't think we give off
any gay vibe. And the other thing is I don't
think anyone in San Francisco notices one way or the
other or cares. Because there's a lot of gay couples.
I don't look like, well, since you're picking up the
tab, you know, it kind of proves I'm not. But
you're refining me in life. You're showing me which wine
to drink. And so I can culture myself, cultivate myself.
Yeah, but I never really do that. We just buy
the wine and drink it. you ever explain anything. I'm
just wondering. You're explaining all the time. We're always talking.
No, it's mostly I'm just giving you the ridiculous anecdotal
material about this wine and the winery and where it
came from. I don't really describe. But that's different than
what you would do if you were trying to get
somebody up to speed on their palate. Yeah, but from
a distance. And then we're always talking about our gadgets.
I think there's a lot of gayness to us, John.
I'm sorry. As an outsider, I think we would actually
register on gaydar. At least we're in the right neighborhood
for it. Yeah, true. Another thing that's kind of interesting,
if you can ever find a... We did make a
clip of Eliza, the comedian, and her comment about it's
okay to be harassed if the guy's good looking. Eliza
Schlesinger. Eliza? Eliza, yeah. Eliza is something like it. I
can't remember her first name. But there was an... where
we have on the San Francisco... on his football team
who is a he's like a Clooney-esque good-looking guy tall
dark and handsome big smile a womanizing type and he
says to one of the sideline reporters he calls her
baby and she's just like turns red and she's all
flustered by it and tweeters are going crazy about this
but of course nobody calls him out for sexual harassment
who did this who said this this was Garoppolo, the
quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, who is by all
definitions is a good looking tall. handsome quarterback for the
football team, a football guy, and he would have been
called out under any other circumstances except for the fact
that he's good looking and it brings back the old
Liza Schlesinger bit where, you know, it's okay to be
sexually harassed if the guy's attractive. Every time it happens,
it always irks me. I wish I could find that.
I know you had it, but you either have her
name wrong or you spelled it wrong. I probably would
have put L-I-Z-A. Yeah, but you know what I get?
A million clips with Elizabeth Warren. Oh, maybe it's Eliza.
Yeah, which doesn't help. Same thing, yeah, Elizabeth Warren. Doesn't
help much. Uh... is the worst. I'm sorry. Yeah, this
is it. Let me rephrase that. Being sexually harassed by
an ugly guy is the worst. There you go. If
he's hot, it's just plain old flow. No one's ever
been like, "Get away from me, you model." Like, that's
fine. I love... That's one of her best. It's so
true. There's lots of money I can make in sex,
sex business. I mean, that's easy. I just, I'm not
interested in being in that business. What do you mean?
Oh, I see what you mean. You mean being a
pimp. Would you know that the best online porn guys,
it's all in Amsterdam. Yeah. In fact, I ran it
years and years ago. I went through Holland. I was
at some event. It was an early Boardwatch magazine thing.
It was in Germany. And I ran into a bunch
of these guys. And they said, well, you want to
just take a run over to... and we'll go through
Belgium and we'll taste some beer and whatever. And we
got in the car and went over there and we
stopped and visited a friend of a friend and he
ran, and this was like in the early 90s, in
the early 90s before the net was even going, it
was the old bulletin board scene. And he had this
nice little... A sex farm with, that's what we call
them, with like little rooms. And then in the back,
he said in the back room he had a bunch
of servers and they were cranking out porn like there
was no tomorrow. Yeah. And it's socially acceptable to set
up a business like that. Yeah, and he was cranking
away. Oh, that's interesting. He was nonchalant about the whole
thing. And now, ladies and gentlemen, You know what it's
time for! And sometimes Adam. Hey, man. That's a jingle.
That's a jingle right there. Thank you, Shwoo. All right,
what's your tip? I thought you had the tip. No,
we're going to do a tip-off. You do the tip.
Then I do a tip. Don't you remember? Okay, I
got a tip. All right, what's your tip? So this
is a tip for people who have the habit of
drinking soda or water or whatever. doshing it with a
bunch of apple cider vinegar. health benefits, gut health, so
you don't have a leaky gut, gut health, or losing
weight. amazon.com and get the Hengstenberg 13 fine herbs flavored
German vinegar seasoning instead and use that instead of apple
cider delicious in a in like I'm using it now
in the Topo Chico you dump a bunch of it
in like a tablespoon of the vinegar into the water
and you got something that's refreshing and delicious it's Hengstenberg
you can look it up by putting herb flavored vinegar
and you'll find it's a bunch of people that make
these things all right I have three tips actually for
my tip tip one three yes tip one Never ever
ask your wife to help you with the tip. She
was very mad. She said, you should do your own
tip. Sending email to me, marked important, puts you to
the bottom of the list. Do you see this? People
who send email and then go through the... Trouble of
marking it important and then even asking for a return
receipt. Bottom of the list. I haven't had that probably
for 10 years. Oh, it happens every day. And my
email program. That's because you never answer your email. I'm
very. You don't even answer my email. What are you
talking about? No, because on Thunderbird, which I've been using
to great success. Thunderbird! Actually, it shows up as red.
And it's very annoying. So I just delete it right
now. Oh, I see. Okay, well, that's no good. Finally,

Yeah, them some dangerously good tips. John C. Dvorak with
the tip of the day. He's going to tell us
what he would do in every possible way. Now, this
is all alleged. Got it. Microsoft had an account. They
were big with hookers in the early days. Woo! To
the point where they had an account with some, and
this is in the era, where there was a lot
of hookers. And they had an account at, uh... I
would say what this era was is probably, I'm trying
to put the years on it. I'm gonna say it's
probably... early 80s. Bush presidency. When they were still in
Bellevue is all I can say, for sure. All right.
And they had just an open account, and this is
when Microsoft, everyone had their own private offices. Everybody had
a private office at Microsoft. So when you visited the
campus in the early days, it was nobody. It wasn't
one of these open-air things where everyone felt like a
drone. It was everyone had every code, everyone who works
there, wherever you did, you had a private office. You
could close the door and lock it. And you could
have a bed in there if you wanted to, if
you wanted to spend the night, because a lot of,
Coders like to do that, to just stay there. And
that was very common in the early days. So they
had an open account with a whorehouse, and they would
just go on to the bill. I don't know what
the petty cash. I have no idea how they wrote
this off. But any coder that was lonely could get
some girl to come over to keep them at the
place coding. Wow. What a great place to work. Yeah,
but it had to be dynamite. That's why you could
take a cut and pay to work there. There are
benefits that are a little more than the free lunch.

John and I were Listening to the past two hours
and 43 minutes, there was a couple of surprising things
to me. The first one is that the number one
most favorite ISO was game set match the alien people
win. I can't even remember how long ago that one
came up.
- Yeah, we need a little bit more, okay. -
- Yeah, come on, computer boy, make it work. There
But the most important thing that I learned. is that
Dana Brunetti is a fraud. What a typical Hollywood guy
taking credit for someone else's creation. I'm like, what are
you doing, Brunetti? He didn't create anything. If anything, it
was Eli the coffee guy, and this thing was going
on from episode 200. Wait, let me clarify that. We
were doing the happy news stories and everybody was like,
oh, brother, let's stop those. And that's when Brunetti told
John, you need to do the tip of the day,
calling it back. So it wasn't he came up with
the idea. He was just urging us to stop doing
the happy news story. But somehow he forced us to
create a created by Dana Brunetti credit in the closing
jingle. because he's magic. JC, are you there? I'm not
sure that your microphone is connected. Just want to make
sure that you're there. I'm here. I'm here. Yeah. Are
you on the right mic? It looks like you're on
your browser setting. Make sure you're on that snowball or
that blue thing, whatever you're on. And then we've got
Brennan here. Hello, Brennan. Hello, Adam. Yes. Yeah. Killer show.
Really great. Well, I had nothing to do with it.
I just put it all together. And believe me, there's
more people are sending more and more clips. I love
that Sir Chris Wilson just resurrected like a phoenix from
the ashes. He's been texting me. He's, you know, just
felt so right to have some of his his his
end of show mixes in there. But the wealth of
material as I was going through putting this together, I
mean, it is. you It is unbelievable the things that
we went through with As No Agenda Nation together. I
mean, the COVID clips were blowing my mind. Just the
stuff that we were seeing and talking about in the
middle of deplatforming everywhere. I mean, wow, we really, we
kept each other alive. It was just so wonderful. Yes.
All of these things. All of us. A lot of
years, Adam. It was a lot of shows. Yeah. I
think I calculated it's over 5,000 hours of content that
we produced. Wow. Okay. That's a lot of hours. I
don't even know how many years that is. - Clip
shows forever. - Content from home. - Hold on a
second, JC. - Let's turn up him. - I wanna
make sure that, give me some signal, JC. - Hello.

before the plug dropped out of the plug, connected, completely
shut down my whole system. Oh, of course. Completely making
me freak out. So thanks, John. I was literally, I
was, because, you know, I was playing this on VLC
because I wanted to make sure it wasn't too over
compressed because some of the sound is already a little
tricky in some of those older episodes. I was literally
keeping my hands away from the mouse, away from the
keyboard. Like, I don't want anything to stop in the
middle of this. I want to just keep on going
and praise God it did. I was not letting him
do any of that. And I think he was probably
like, no, I'm not going to mess with this. This
is too good. And I just love that the producers
put it together. That was really, really, really nice. I
think we got it. But it was crazy. So many
people came in with game set match. The alien people
win. I was like, wow. I had no idea that
that was such a thing. No idea. So, JC, can
we hear you yet? I don't know. Can you hear
me? Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yay! Oh, easy, easy to
meet me. I just show my support by donating to
No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do this.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab. CHILDREN! So no surprise that
we all mourn in different ways and in Knowage in
the Nation, we like to mourn and celebrate with donation
notes. And I have a feeling John would be pretty
angry about the length of some of these notes. Holy
mackerel. Holy mackerel. He would be complaining. We're not going
to do that. We are going to read the notes
that came in as we promised. Wait, wait, wait. We
can complain still. Oh, no, we should complain. There's no
doubt about it. And we stopped at 8888 on the
last show. We're going to go all the way through
to the 50s as we always do with the addition,
I think, from the last show. So everybody who sent
in a note, we will read your note. Mimi, you
had something to say? you I have it between now
and midnight to do this no problem. Yeah, that's kind
of the amazing thing. Oh, that's a little too loud.
Oh, no. Sorry about that Yeah, no, it's just me
I'm getting the sound right here It's better than the
last show. Holy moly. You know why? Because you got
headphones. Oh, yeah. Well, I couldn't hear with the... speakers
on the floor anyway. I don't know how John did
it. I think he wasn't really listening to you. Sheer
stubbornness. No, I think meaning has it right. Unwillingness to
change. He wasn't actually listening to me. That's probably right.
That's probably closer to the truth. So let's go down
our list. We start off right off the bat with
a rubbleizer from Viscount, dude named Jeff, protector of the
land from Westlake, Ohio. $2,333.33. He says, I've been waiting
for the right time for a Rub-A-Lizer donation. No better
time than in honor of JCD. No jingles, no karma,
in honor of JCD. But yes, sir, you get this.
And I might as well continue with the next very
long note from Sir Steve Knight of the Red Heart,
also 3,333.33. He says, no agenda, family. Seeing the passing
of John C. Dvorak on the title of show 1888
made my heart sink. I've never cried for the passing
of someone I've never met. This, by the way, was
a general comment people would send me. The impact of
this show has had on me and so many others
is evident with the resounding messages that has happened over
the last week. I'm incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon
this show thanks to Adam's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast
in early 2020. Rogan donation. I started listening before my
daughter was born in March of 2020, and the insight
the two of you provided helped immensely navigating that first
year of her life when it seemed like the world
was turned upside down. I'm beyond appreciative of the service
that you two have provided, in a time when it's
rare to converse with anyone outside of your chatbot, you
two made it enjoyable to listen to two old friends
discuss the state of the world twice weekly. If I
can suggest if it's even possible to find any more,
is an article discussing the higher hand, which explores higher
and lower planes of spiritual existence. I bring this up
because having listened to John and heard the overwhelming sentiment
about his impact on others' lives, that there is no
doubt that he has transcended this plane of spiritual existence
This donation brings me to Barron Hood. I would like
to request the rule of Southwest Lorain County, Ohio, specifically
the township of Columbia Station. I cannot emphasize how much
I appreciate the value both Adam and John have provided
to me over the last six years, six years and
a half, other than a Bitcoin donation. The Rebelizer donation
cost me roughly $333.33 when it was purchased in 2018
to 2019. I wish the value I could provide was
100x this value, but sadly, I wasn't early enough to
the hard money revolution. I truly appreciate everything that the
entire No Agenda crew has done to make this experience
a possibility because there's nothing else like it. wait to
get the Rubalizer coin eventually. Yes. I'd also like to
request John's fisting nuts jingle. For brevity, we're going to
do some of these longer jingles at the end because
this will take several hours to get through this note.
Reverend Manning, we're all going to need a Bitcoin. And
if possible, a prayer from Adam because I think we're
all in need of one in times like this. Let
me give you your Rubalizer first. India. So I do
want to honor his request. Do we have... Do we
have Jay nearby to start keeping accounting of all the
jingles that were owed at the end of this? No,
Jay's sleeping. Let me... To honor his request of a
prayer, I will do that. Father God, in Jesus' name,
we come to you as an entire community, and we
thank you for the time that we were able to
spend with John here on this earth. Lord, we ask
you for grace, and we ask you for the Holy
Spirit to lift us up during this time. Lift up
the Dvoraks, lift up the Dukuris, lift up all of
Noah's generation, Lord. And we pray that you have your
arms around John, and we pray for this, Lord, in
your son Jesus' name. Amen. Sir Gatekeeper. To the No
Agenda family, Sir Gatekeeper here, returning from the fog of
my life with my deepest and warmest condolences on the

was hoping to enjoy another episode of the best podcast
in the universe but the feed wasn't showing an update
as the usual time. Instead, I tuned into We Get
to Do This and was shocked to hear about John's
passing. No agenda has been part of my life since
2008. It has always been something to look forward to
on Sundays and Thursdays. Having quit TV around the same
time, it quickly became my main source of news. The
show has been with me through all kinds of highs
and lows. I have good memories of tending the grill
as I cooked Sunday dinner for me and my parents,
accompanied by you and John discussing the latest news, international
conflict, disease outbreak, or beauty pageant. There's... Creek. When anything
major happened in the world, the first thing I'd think
was, I wonder what John and Adam are going to
say. I was fully expecting you two would make it
to 2000 and beyond. Every time either of you hinted
at ending the show, I thought maybe listeners could donate
so much money you would be indebted to continue the
show as our media analysis slaves ad finitum. I love
John's sense of humor, laughter, and quick wit and followed
him across the internet from No Agenda to Twit, Cranky
Geeks, Tech 5, DH Unplugged, and A New Domain. I
forgot about that one he was the crazy uncle we
all wish we had with the best stories and funniest

Adam, as well as their families, and No Agenda Nation.

Scovey, Grand Duke of the Piedmont, Charlotte, North Carolina, $935.66.
Adam, Mimi, Dvorak family, and fellow producers, please accept this
donation of 8.88 plus fees. The sadness is real. The
sadness is real at Gitmo Nation. And also the outpouring
of admiration and love for John brings so much joy.
And the fate of his phone in the drawer comes
to mind. That device belongs in a technology museum or
a drawer in a technology museum. Not to be displayed
in just a boring case, but to be displayed in
an actual drawer. Same thought. A drawer to be opened
up to see the device. And when the drawer is
opened, an audio clip plays of John saying, and I
so ended up, so I put it up in the
drawer for a while. Thank you, Jason. For your wonderful
influence, the world needs more of that. Love and light,
Sir Scovey, Grand Duke of the Piedmont. Carol Goodman, 888.88.
ITM Adam, I was saddened to hear about JCD's passing.
I only discovered no agenda this past year, but he
quickly became... one of my favorite voices on the show.
His humor and delivery made every episode better. It's hard
to imagine the show without him. I also wanted to
say again how much I appreciate you, Adam, as part
of my church family and No Agenda. Your voice, perspective,
and dedication means a lot to so many of us.
And I'd like to keep hearing No Agenda for years
to come. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,
with you, and with everyone who knew and loved him.
JCD brought so much personality to the show, and he
will be deeply missed. I'll mostly miss hearing him say,
as we all say around the house all the time,
every show. He always made me chuckle, and I hope
you'll consider turning it into a jingle so his voice
and spirit can live on in the show. It would
be a fitting tribute to the joy he brought so
many. Thank you for everything you and JCD have given
the audience. Please take care, and again, my deepest condolences.
God bless you, Adam, and I'm keeping you in my
prayers. ITM, Carol Goodman, Willow City, Texas. Sir, actually, you
should read this one, Adam. Yes, Sir Jan, the innkeeper
of Amsterdam and Sir Giel. I think he came in

and John's family. We will miss him dearly. We are
really verdrietig, which means he's really sad. Sir Jan, the
innkeeper of Amsterdam and Sir Giel from the banks of
the River Amstel. Lynn Wilson, 888.88. My husband and I
have been listening to No Agenda for a couple of
years now. We love it and we will miss hearing
JCD. Prayers to Adam and John's families. Sarcastic the Nomad,
Glenmore, Pennsylvania, 888.88. Sincere condolences to the Dvorak family. Adam,
your monologue on Thursday's show was a touching masterclass in
broadcasting professionalism. You held it together while the rest of
Gitmo Nation wept. Rest in peace, JCD. No jingles, no
karma. Sarcastic the Nomad, Red Knight, and Baron of Chester
County. Maarten van Ettinger in Lopik in the Netherlands. 888.88.
Shocked by this sad news, I enjoyed JCD, especially on

when I first tuned in. Forever thankful for No Agenda's
value. Thank you for celebrating John's life. Rest in peace.
My condolences. Andrea Gardner, 777. Gutted to hear the man,

was the one we read. Oh, I'm... Yeah, we've got

note. Lyle. Lyle. Lyle, $7.11 and $0.15. Adam, I was
waiting for Bitcoin to hit $1,000 so I could go
straight to Instanite. $1,000? Well, I paid $1,000 a long
time ago. Maybe it meant a million. Ironically, John didn't
hang around to see that day, which he would have
groused about, which only feels right for a Bitcoin donation.
The Noah Jenna Show has been a constant voice in
an ocean of madness. To not get his worldview twice
a week will be a real gap in my life.

for rub-a-lizers. Kia kaha? I believe it is. Lyle. Dame
Lacey from Lake Mills, Wisconsin, 58888. To John, family, and
friends, my virtual arms are reaching out to embrace you
during this incredibly difficult time. John was truly an esteemed
man who remarkably impacted the lives of countless people. His
losses felt deeply by so many, me included. To show
the love and admiration I hold for JCD, I offer
this donation in his honor. This brings my peerage level
to that of Baroness. May I please hear John once
again ask for producers to donate in his spooky voice.
I will play that at the end. Blessings to all.
Love and light. Thank you for your courage. Dame Lacey,
Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Tom and Larissa from Georgetown, Texas, 52636.
To Adam and the Dvorak family, we send you our
heartfelt condolences on the passing of JCD. We are going
to miss his grumpiness. May he rest in peace. Sincerely,
Tom and Larissa. Oh, this is the one I've been
waiting for. This literally blows out three spreadsheets. But we
do break for nights here on the show. So Sir
Knives of the Providence Plantations and Lady Butters of the
Narragansett Bay sent in $526.36. And whoever is next will
take it after this one. Adam, Mimi, and all the
No Agenda family, I had wanted to donate for Thursday's
show, but I found myself at a bit of a
loss for what to say. Losing John so suddenly hit
me harder than I thought possible. When my wife, Lady
Butters, texted me initially, I couldn't believe it. And as
so many others have said, I thought it simply had
to be a ploy for donations. It was a possibility.
I wish. I rarely hate being so wrong as much
as I feel now. Myself and Lady Butters have been
delinquent in donations too long. I hope my $500 plus
fees can make up for that. And that you humor
my following on how John has impacted us both. George
S. Patton once said, it is...
and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we
should thank God such men lived. It feels apt. I
think my first interaction with JCD was as a kid
in grade school in our shambles of a computer lab
where they were teaching us to type. And though my
memory is foggy, I'm pretty sure I remember the voice
prompting me was none other than JCD himself. Yes, they
used Dvorak on typing. Was that a real thing, Mimi?
Absolutely it is. We have one framed on the wall.
Oh my goodness. I didn't even know about that. Already
a rather old product by the time I was there
to teach the kids. I suppose I can understand why
John may have hesitated to recommend it and seem too
shy to shy away from talking about it on the
show. Wow. I didn't know this about Dvorak on typing.
I need this. I'm a pecker. I need to learn
how to type. I am now a 38 year old
computer engineer with nearly two decades experience. I utilized a
bastardized pick-and-peck method that ended up becoming ingrained in me
as a kid. But the fundamentals of typing clearly didn't
stick. John's voice sure did. In high school, I have
fond memories of seeing John every so often when I
would catch him on tech TV. I recall him always
eliciting a chuckle from me when I saw one of
his hot takes, and I always appreciated his wit. It
stuck with me. It made me feel like being a
computer nerd wasn't a stigma, and that there were normal
folks out there that were also something more than computer
literate. seemed like he had a solid grasp of Oscar
Wilde's concept that life is much too important a thing
ever to talk seriously about it. Fast forward to 2016,
I distinctly remember I was tremendously hungover sitting on the
couch and through some freak oddity, my echo speaker fouled
up what I told it to start playing some random
podcast. The best podcast in the universe or some such
thing as they build it. My addled semi-conscious mind didn't
bother to turn it off and instead I listened. I
thought I recognized one of the voices I heard. There
was this overzealous guy who sounded like he had a
lot of hair, but there was also the other host
who sounded suspiciously like he had less hair I wasn't
sharing the hair, but I digress. Oh, man. He sounded
familiar. It struck me then. Crap. In a hat. That's
John Dvorak. The same guy who I ignored typing prompts
from and I thought was amusing a decade prior when
I caught him on TV. I sat there, slipping in
and out as I yo-yoed my guts from imbibing far
too much the prior night and listened. Suddenly enraptured when
my, at the time, recent wife, Lady Butters, stopped it
to set a timer for something and I was pissed.
I realized I had found something remarkable. A huge part
of that was John. you In the time since no
agenda has become a weekly staple in our house, countless
are the Sundays we have sat enjoying brunch after our
weekly range trips, we call it going to church, listening
to the live stream, laughing and enjoying JCD's rapier wit
and sensible takes. Often we would have range buddies over
after and getting over what they initially thought was a
cult, they would be laughing and appreciating John's acumen as
well. Numerous times John would bust out some quip or
some one-liner that had us laughing Lady Butters would exclaim,
see, that is why John is my spirit animal. He
is the best curmudgeon. She had always felt kindred with
John as a fellow writer. I can't describe how elated
she was when he saw fit to add her as
a connection on LinkedIn years back. She was elated and
wore it as a badge of honor. I truly think
it was. To be associated in any way with such
a prolific personality is truly an honor. He was as
fundamental to her as he has been to me. Rescu-

Jersey, $500. Hello, No Agenda family. Today, my heart is
heavy, but I feel rich having listened for so long
and also feel encouraged that Adam will continue the legacy.
Best wishes to Adam and John's family. Katie and Tom
Tierney in Carver, Minnesota, $500. All right. Let me prepare.
Here you go. All right. Two years ago, my brother,
Rob, the constitutional lawyer, called me while I was walking
around the campus of the greatest university on the planet,
Texas A&M. Whoop! Dropping off our youngest for school, he
was actually calling to ask for some job search advice
for a friend, but before he got to that point,
he had to tell me about how he knew her.
As it turns out, this story led straight to no
agenda. Then he asked me, do you remember PC Magazine?
I laughed. Of course I do. The magazine is partly
responsible for the entire direction of my career. From there,
he told me about meeting John and Adam. Before long,
my smoking hot hillbilly husband and I became devoted no-agenda
producers-in-waiting. For the past two years, those six hours a
week have been some of the few moments where the
noise of the world fades away and the common sense
returns. When my brother texted this week to tell me
that John had died, it felt like a punch in
the gut. I've been following John C. Dvorak's work for
more than 30 years. From the PC Magazine days, through
No Agenda, I always assumed there would be time to
meet him someday. And then suddenly, there wasn't. John had
a combination of wit, intelligence, skepticism, and delightful cranky charm
that simply can't be replaced. He taught generations of us
to question narratives, think independently, and never lose our sense
of humor while doing it. The donation in John's memory
is officially our dedouching. I've been telling Tom... Oh, you
nailed it! You've been dedouched! You nailed it! I... I...
I... I was delayed, sorry. That's alright. I've been telling
Tom we should become producers ever since we started listening,
but life always seemed to get in the way. If
you realize that's not... I've realized that's not a very
good excuse. If John's passing has reminded me of anything,
it's this. Don't wait! Support the things you value. Tell
people what they mean to you. Make the trip. Give
the donation. Live the life. Thank you, John, for decades
of insight, laughter, and perspective. You left the world sharper
than you found it. Godspeed, John. Rest in peace. Keith
Sirbig Johnson, Poughkeepsie, New York, $500. Dear Adam and Dvorak
family, been a listener since episode 11. John was the
best. My deepest condolences. I've heard when... I've heard when
an office chair squeaks, a podcaster gets his wings. Then
he had a number of wings. Sort of like biblically
accurate angel wings. Didn't we skip somebody? No, we didn't.
No, we skipped nobody. Oh, okay. I'm out of it.
I'll just go back to being quiet. We're on 41
now. Okay, thank you. Which is a great name. Great
name. Coopville, Washington. $500. Deepest condolences from Oak Harbor, Washington.
Laptop lids are half closed and cell phones in the
drawers this week. Anonymous Douchebag in Kentfield, California. $444. Rest
easy, John. Thank you for many years of great entertainment.
You are loved and you will be missed. Sir R.
Daniels. 422.21 cents. I saw the email notification in the
background while in a virtual meeting and assumed it was
JCD newsletter clickbait. How wrong was I? I was listening
to John's last show before hearing the news last week,
as usual, while working out a remark.
In my head how to show how this show, these
guys, have been part of my life for decades. I'm
53, so Adam on MTV pairing up with a guy
I had been reading since the 6th grade in PC
Magazine. I started listening to No Agenda in episode 1.
I was there from the beginning, hearing about it first
on Twit. Christian Hartsock, former Project Veritas chief investigative reporter
and the man behind the Noodle Boy story, called me
and asked, have you heard the news? Devastated. No jingles,
just karma. Love you Adam and Tina. Me, me and
family mean it. I hope you can find ways to
keep it going. We're here. No agenda nation. Many more
years. I'll take it away. Yeah. The Cohan's with $421.10.
Hi, Adam and team. I'm so sorry for your loss.
In remembrance of John, I thought you might like to
hear how No Agenda, especially John as a fellow Bay
Area resident, played a part in our love story. When
my husband Josh and I started dating during COVID, our
first real test of compatibility was sharing our favorite podcasts.
I, a reformed, angry New Yorker, Glass and Renee Brown,
who told stories of humanity and perseverance. Josh, on the
other hand, a represented agitator at heart, raised on a
strict Bay Area diet of good vibes only, listened to
you, Adam and John, who always seemed to be yelling
loudly about corruption everywhere. I get it. You can't trust
anyone. It just wasn't for me. Adam's voice raised my
cortisol levels. John was slightly easier on the ears. I
mostly listened just to connect with Josh, with whom I
was slowly growing to love. Over the years, though, I
grew to genuinely appreciate the show. Hell, even Adam's voice
grew on me. But for Josh, this show became a
significant part of his support system during the hardest period
in his life. Brutal divorce and custody battle. Stressful career.
Josh and I come from vastly different worlds. On paper,
we're not compatible. And our relationship was strained for many
reasons, but our mutual love and respect grew stronger as
we learned about each other. And your show was a
major factor in propelling our relationship forward. Listening, pausing, talking,
listening again to your voices made us realize that our
compatibility wasn't in identical backgrounds or viewpoints, but rather in
our willingness to engage in hard conversations and lovingly challenge
each other's perceived belief system. And that has become a
building block in our marriage today. Ira Glass sure as
hell didn't help us grow as a couple. And for
that, I am forever grateful. We will miss you, John.
Adam, you got this. Much love and respect. The Cohands.
James Niddle from Moore, South Carolina with $408.47. RIP JCD.
F cancer. You've got karma. Robert Roberts from Grants Pass,
Oregon, with a $388.88 donation. I was first introduced to
the show by Brian the Drunk Millennial back in 2015.
He used to say, you have to listen to three
shows to get into it, and that was true for
me. I used to only catch drips and drops riding
in the truck with Brian, but one day I started
on my own, and then I was hooked. Been here
ever since, and I'm so thankful. When I saw the
newsletter title, I thought it was one of John's clever
ploys. Wow, man. I had missed the newsletter when it
came out. Yeah, we tricked them all. I had missed
the newsletter when it came out as I worked a
long day in the woods out. of service and I
saw it at 3:30 in the morning while having my
morning coffee. When I opened it and saw the photo
of John, that sense of dread welled up and when
I read them in memoriam, I was gutted. I seldom
cry, but the rendition of "I'm gonna miss you in
the morning" last show got me. You two have been
with me for timber cruising the redwoods, hours of making
timber and laying out harvests until across California, surveying plantations
in Oregon, and long drives across the western states. Wow.
Seedlings. wanted to get there and with this donation I
finally reached knighthood a day late and a thousand of
dollars short of what real value for value would be
I would like to be certain man morning night was
morning spelt with you. For the roundtable, could you order
up John's favorite? Y'all have always been in my prayers
and even more so lately. I'm sorry for the rambling.
I guess I just don't know how to put all
of these thoughts and feelings together. In the morning, and
thank you for your courage, Robert Roberts. Sir Chris and
Dame Kristen of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. For the $388.88 donation, dear
Adam, Mimi, and family, Dame Kristen and I are shocked
and saddened by the news of John's passing. Like so
many in No Agenda community, we can't believe he's gone.
We are honored to- We are honored to have been.
executive producers of the show for over over the years
going back to 2014. Since we began listening around 2010,
John has been a regular voice in our lives. He
changed us to think more critically, question the mainstream media,
and approach the world with a healthy dose of skepticism
and humor. When Adam and John came down on opposite
sides of an issue, those discussions often sparked more spirited
debate between us as well. Overall, we're just better grounded
in reality. Our hearts go out to Mimi, the family,
and everyone close to John. We hope that in days
ahead, there is some comfort in knowing just how many
people he touched and lives he influenced. Long live John
C. Dvorak and long live No Agenda. In the morning,
Sir Chris and Dame Kristen of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Kirby dude of
Austin, Texas. With $388.88 donation. Rest in peace, JCD. Spitty
Fire. From an unknown location for $356.77, CNET introduced me
to the concept John C. Dvorak. No Agenda presented the
final rendition of JCD. Long live Buzzkill's insatiable spirit, sending
much love to his powerhouse family, incredible circle of friends,
and No Agenda community. Spitty Fire. Shannon McNeil with $350.93.
I stumbled upon No Agenda in early 2020, and it
has been nothing short of life-changing for me and my
family. John Hennis always reminded me of my father-in-law. Me
too. And I was gutted to hear the news of
his passing. My sincere condolences. Sending love and light. Jeffrey
Walsdorf with $350.93 donation and 350 words. And 350 words.
I actually don't know if I can see this whole
thing, Adam. Oh, I'll do it. It's too big for
the spreadsheet. It's blowing out the spreadsheet. I'll do it.
No problem. Dear Adam, thank you for taking the time
to read my note on Thursday's show. He's coming back.
It's 350.93. I was still in a state of shock
when I wrote it, so it was very brief. After
hearing so many wonderful notes on episode 1888, I wanted
to take another shot at it. I first started listening
to No Agenda back in the COVID days. I was
confused and frustrated by our response to the virus, as
it didn't make any sense. me and hearing your takes
on Rogan convinced me to give the show a listen.
I finally fell in love with No Agenda. The format
of the show, the way the news was deconstructed, the
fun jingles, the whole presentation was amazing and I've been
a loyal listener since. But I must admit, while I
came for Adam Curry, I stayed for John T. Dvorak.
I didn't know about his full career before I started
listening, but I loved his deep knowledge of tech and
politics. His snarky comments always made me laugh and his
fun stories, experiences and insights great to hear. In fact,
the font of this email is Georgia, one that John
recommended. Every episode, I look forward to whatever smart-ass comment
John would have chambered, knowing it would make me smile.
Thank you so much, Adam, for introducing him to me.
Whenever I hear some news model or talk show guest
talk about how horrible it would be in the U.S.
if the U.S. didn't fund some BS program, I'll hear
John sarcastically screaming, oh no, in the background. Whenever I
hear some tech CEO claiming that their new product will
change the human race forever, I'll think of John saying,
I'm smelling ketamine. I'll be thinking of John when I
watch Sumo, wondering if he would be happy that Aokinishi-ki
has regained his Ozeki title. I think he would be.
My family and I moved to Osaka, Japan about a
year and a half ago. Disconnecting from the U.S. corporate
media and social media in general has shrunk my amygdala
to the perfect size. Listening to No Agenda regularly would
get me the real news coming out of the States,
the media deconstruction continues in some form. I can't think
of anyone who does it better than you. I will
be supporting you the entire way. My deepest condolences to
you, the Dvorak family, and everyone affected by his loss.
Thank you for the years of insights and laughter. John,
I wish it could have been me.
More. Augusto Andreoli, $350.93. Now, ITM Adam, Mimi, everyone, my
heartfelt condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. Come on,
JCD, this was not the exit strategy we wanted. Adam,
your opening monologue brought me to tears. Feels like I
lost a grandfather. In the past two years, you guys
have become part of my life with weekly news and
silly humor. This donation of $333.33 plus fees makes me
a knight, Sir Britalian. No requests, only the prayers jingle
for us all. Long live John C. Dvorak. to call
bull crap on the m5m and he finishes with thank
you for your courage and i have the The prayers
jingle for you. Here we go. You've got it. Prayers.
Russian Card Trick Guy, 35093. Hey, Adabin, everyone. My sincerest
condolences for the heavy loss of an incredible man. Your
show and John were an amazing and calming influence throughout
my life. The stories, the easygoing attitude of this has
happened before, made the world feel understandable. My wife, who
occasionally listens, loved John's stories, reactions, and quips to the
point where she was questioning whether she is truly a
cranky old man on the inside. It was a pleasure
to meet John at the Seattle meetup in August 2018.
On the next show, 1059, he referred to me as
the Russian card trick guy, which was hilarious. I will
say it was hard to impress him, even with my
best close-up material, but that was expected for someone with
such incredible life experience as JCD. Donating $333.33, magic number,
plus fees, and would love to be de-douched. You've been
de-douched. And then he asks for also a baby delivery
karma, which we have some baby karma for you here.
You've got... Karma. As my wife and I are having
our second in November, prayers for all, love and light,
the Russian card trick guy. Sir Lavish the Red, Concord,
California, 350.58. We know that's 333 plus fees now. For
some reason, it's different for everybody. Thank you, Adam, Mimi,
family. I send in one clip about the wine, clip
attached, Pinot Grigio. There are many others who sent in
good clips over the years, and I love them. John
is a Bay Area legend. Insanely grateful to know him
and his family. Sir Lavish the Red, and that clip
will be passed on to Darren and Larry for future
shows. Sir Lawrence of Dystopia, Oakland, California, 350. Thank you.
Oh, I'm sure he did. And he didn't share it
with me. I'm also grateful to have had the opportunity
to hoist a few drinks with him and the knowage
in the nation that attended the Northern Silicon Valley meetups.
I will definitely attend the next meetup at Pizzeria Violetta,
come hell, high water, or broken elevators. Lastly, what truly
impressed me about John, in addition to his vast body
of work and natural talent, was his family that he
and Mimi have raised. You guys are like the Von
Trapp family singers. There's a callback. I know that with
the talent of the Dvorak family, and Adam, the No
Agenda podcast will carry on. And he wants some mac
and cheese slaves and ants. Love and light, Sir Lawrence
of Dystopia, Baron of Maxwell Park, Kilo Oscar 6 Echo
Juliet Echo. Eric Renaud from Sutton, Massachusetts, 343.75. Godspeed, John.
He says, you will be missed. The Dalton family, Lockwood,
Missouri, 343.75. John was a one of a kind. He
will be deeply missed. Our thoughts go out to his
family. Regards from the Dalton family. Chris and Leslie of
Fluffy Bottoms Farm in Driftwood, Texas, 34375. We read the
news and it hit us like a ton of bricks.
Episode 1888 was a tough listen. Adam, your opening made
us cry. The stories and clips were just what we
needed in this sad, tough time. Others have said this,
but it's crazy how John impacted all of us and
we would weep and feel such a huge loss for
someone that we had never met. We are sending love
and prayers to Mimi, the family, Adam and Tina, We
will miss JCD but feel so blessed and lucky to
have decades of great memories through his writing and podcast.
Love from Chris and Leslie of Fluffy Bottoms Farm in
Driftwood, Texas. Grant Shuler in Cincinnati, Ohio, 343.75. I'm so
glad I was hit in the mouth with this podcast
and have learned a ton while listening over the past
six years. Thank you, JCD. You the man, dog. And
I'll read this one from Sean C. Ryan of Volente,
Texas. Another war and peace, but... is good. As a
proud No Agenda show producer and family member coming up
on a year, I've been struggling with much grief since
learning of John C. Dvorak's passing earlier this week. God,
I miss him. His reason, wisdom, biting wit, dry acerbic
humor, experienced hardened insights, consistent grousing, unbridled skepticism, and curmudgeonly
demeanor. All those prickly idiosyncrasies, he gracefully filled the role
of a sensible contrarian, a true grouchy gentleman and scholar.
My sincere condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with Dvorak and
Curry families and with the broader No Agenda producer community.
I consider all of you my first responders. I shackle
myself to every show and wait each week with bated
breath for the next episodes. JC and Adam formed a
duo unmatched in the mainstream media. Their quibbling, banter, and
jocularity is deliciously entertaining while delivering thought-provoking MSM deconstruction. This
is why the No Agenda show is the greatest podcast
in the universe. it going. The news of JCD's passing
was communicated to me by my 25-year-old Gen Z son,
my only child, via text on Tuesday. My first thought,
really my hope, was that it might be some gambit
and atomism cooked up by JCD to boost donations. I
so deeply wish that was true. I called my son
later that day to talk about what this loss meant
to both of us. He told me that he had
recently begun listening to every No Agenda episode from the
very first one, simply because he wanted to be entertained
in enlightened by the full breadth of the Noah Jenner
Show podcast in all the varied and sundry episodes. I'm
truly proud of this fine young lad. At the risk
of arousing JCD's legendary buzz-killing grousing, I'll add two brief
personal notes. First, after hearing him and Adam question why
Texans preferred Keb Paxson over John Cornyn, I emailed John
with boots-on-the-ground insight explaining why most sensible Texans found Cornyn
a proven rhino and were willing to accept Paxson's baggage.
What politician doesn't have some? They shipped... Excuse me. They
shifted their stance in the next show. Maybe I played
a small part, maybe not. Either way, it felt like
a contribution. Second, I recently sent JCD a LinkedIn request,
half expecting no reply from someone of his stature. He
accepted on July 16th, 2026, only 10 days before the
news that now compounds my profound sadness. I had hoped
and planned to meet JCD in person one day. I
guess we'll have to wait until I'm on the other
side of the pearly gates with him. and his lovely
keeper, Tina, at a no agenda meetup in Fredericksburg last
April. Rest in peace, John C. Dvorak, JCD. I see
an M dash there, suspicious. Legendary buzzkill, a good sir.
He wants an F cancer. With much love and admiration,
ITM from the Gitmo Nation and beyond, Sean C. Ryan
of Volente. And I got the F cancer for him.
You've got karma. JC, you want to take over? Thomas
Schaefer. Unknown location. $333.80. Thanks for all the times you
literally made me laugh out loud, not to mention think
more critically. I've been listening since I finished college in
09 and knew a day like this would come, but
not that the hole would be this deep. Rest in
peace, John. Viscount Dame G Money. $333.33. I feel like
I've lost my cranky grandpa. My favorite jingle will forever
be John Grussing about how the only real phone is
a landline and it's made of Bakelite. Rest in peace,
JCD. Love is lit. Luca Dusak in Bastanj, Slovenia, I
suspect. Rest in peace, legend. Andrew O'Donohue, Smeaton. Saskatchewan. Um...
In the morning from Saskatchewan, Canada. I cannot properly put
into words how much Adam and John... through No Agenda
have made a positive impact on my life. I discovered
No Agenda during COVID, and it played a massive role
in helping me maintain my sanity while living in Canada,
where the government went nuts, more so than usual. They
have been my number one listen ever since. The loss
of John is certainly painful. I'll miss hearing him twice
a week. His wit and insight into world affairs complimented
Adam's so well. I pray that Mimi and family will
find some measure of comfort during this time of loss.
Thank you for all that you do to help the
show. Sincerely, Andrew O'Donoghue Sir Wild Bill, Alexandria, Virginia Yeah.
Uh, 333?
33 cents. About John. Temporal separation is temporary. Here's to
our next meetup with John in eternity. Sir Wild Bill,
Liberator of California, Red Knight of the Sacred Heart. God
bless you, John. David Asari, West Hollywood, California. 333.33 cents.
When I read the news about JCD, I thought it
was a sick joke because of the lie about his
age, which I was not aware of. I'll miss him
so much. No homo. Are you able to read this?
I can read this one. It's a nice long one.
Dane Pluma of beautiful Wailea, Hawaii. $333.33. To my No
Agenda Ohana. When work keeps me from listening live to
my bi-weekly media deconstruction from the best podcast in the
universe, I save the entire show for a long walk
by the sea. It is tempting to cheat and start
late at night, but No Agenda is best consumed from
beginning to end, in my personal opinion. So, on the
first Thursday of the week, I woke up ready for
my wisdom fix from the voices of my favorite duo.
Fanny pack secured, I opened fountain. because non-legacy podcast providers
are superior, and pulled up show 1,888. The title was
jarring. That seems a little dark even for John, I
thought. Then I saw the artwork, the candle, the empty
table, the illuminated microphone, the dates. No, no, no. I
crumpled to the floor and stared for an ungodly amount
of time, waiting for my brain to catch up. Like
many, I hoped it was some macabre trick. Eventually, I
mustered the courage to hit play. The tone had shifted.
Something, someone was missing. The tears poured out of me.
I picked myself up and walked into the sunlight. As
the voices, stories, jingles, and memories continued, so did I.
The sky looked brighter. The ocean looked deeper. The world
felt quieter. John, I could fill pages with what you
taught me, how hard you made me laugh, and how
much better I am because of the years spent listening
to you. Instead, I offer your soaring spirit, your tremendous
family, Adam and Olive Gitmo Nation, the Hawaiian prayer of
Ho'oponopono. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I
love you. The only downer is that I will never
hear you suffer through the Hawaiian pronunciation, which is identical
to Spanish. And frankly, you were terrible at it. Adam
has an excuse, but John, you're from California. In parting,
I want you to know from the bottom of my
heart, this is hurting the show. Yours, in past, present,
and future, Dame Pluma, Protectorate of the Feathered Whales, PhD,
Wailea, Maui, Hawaii. Hey, JC, I really want to fix
your audio because it's just bugging the crap out of
me. Oh, no, what's going on right now? Well, it
was so good before, but now you have like no
level and it sounds really indirect. Are you on the
right mic? You're sure you're on the right one? seeing
if I just need to reposition it. How's that? Yeah,
can you turn it up a little bit? Uh, yeah,
let me try that. Includes your gain, man. How's that?
Yeah, and I hear like a fan still somewhere. There's
no fan now. But I could rock the chair some
more. Yeah, please. That would help. That's better, JC. That's
better. All right, it's better? Yeah, even a little more
would be good for me. More. More! More! More! More!
I want more! Let me see what I get in
the back of this thing. No, this one kind of
sucks. I'm going to get one of the microphones from
the archives and swap it out for next show. Okay,
good. All right. Well, let me continue while you fix
that. Corey Baker, Fort Myers, Florida. And JC, mute yourself
when you're not on so I don't have the background
noise. Yeah. you all right go Brennan so bossy hey
it's like he thinks he's in charge We're not AV
people. People actually listen to these things all the way
through, so I want them to have the best experiences
I can give them. Okay. Corey Baker from Fort Myers,
Florida. $333.33. I've been in a melancholy daze since hearing
of John's passing. This show has been an anchor in
my life since 2012, and for that I am eternally
grateful. Adam and John have gotten me through some of
the hardest times of my life. I rebuilt our home
after a hurricane, Ian, with your voices in my ears.
I lost my father a year ago, and No Agenda
was there with me for the road trip back to
our hometown. My heart goes out to the Dvorak and
Curry families and to the rest of No Agenda Nation.
RIP JCD. Godspeed. Commodore Corey. Jean-Pierre Codiguil from Sao Paulo,
Spain. No, it's Brazil. I just don't know any of
the states in Brazil. In the morning, please de-douche me
as this is just my second donation since I found
out the best podcast in the universe through your appearance
on the Tom Woods Show back in 2020 during the
COVID craziness. You've been de-douched. Sending condolences to you, Mimi,
and the No Agenda family on the loss of John.
Thank you both for everything over the years. Long live
the show. Sir John of South London from London, which
is in London in Great Britain. With $333.33, dear Adam,
Mimi, and the Dvorak clan, I first came across John
on The Sight, which aired on MSNBC in the mid-90s.
I've kept track of his various pieces of work, spanning
PCMag, Cranky Geeks, Twit, and of course, No Agenda. 30
years is a long time when I look back. changed
house many a time and even changed nationalities. When I
received last week's newsletter informing us of JCD's untimely passing
away, I thought it was his latest and Puppy's ruse.
Sadly, as I continued reading the email, it was no
joke. It feels like a part of my life has
gone away, but I've got the memories to keep JCD
alive. I will fondly remember JCD's visit to London in
2017. I've attached a photo to share with you and
the Dvorak family to boot. Here's one of you when
you were here in London in 2018. Oh, goodness, yes.
Oh, my goodness. theme. RIP JCD, you are one of
a kind, a real cranky, but absolutely endearing gink. With
the deepest condolences, regards, Sir John of South London. Sir
Fast Eddie, with no location, with $333.33. This is from
Alameda. Does he say from Alameda? Where? Right there, in
Baronet of Alameda. Oh, wow. Oh, Baronet of Alameda, the
islands. RIP JCD, thank you for all you've given me.
over the past six years. I will deeply miss our
meetup conversations about numerology and that kids can't read tape
measures. The lens you've given me will be a tool
I use for the rest of my life. I will
miss you at least twice a week and every time
I eat nuts on an airplane. I used to carry
bags of nuts when I traveled just in case I
sat down next to JCD on a plane. I will
pray that we finish our conversation about banning peanuts on
airplanes when we meet again upstairs. A final favor from
the nation. to create a giant photo collage for the
oakland meetup on the 14th of august 15th of august
at pizzeria violetta and i'd like anyone with photos of
john including themselves if that's what they have to send
me jpegs or pdfs to me at fasteddy at speed
pro eastbay.com and i'll be there to that actually well
all of the family will be there and also i
went to school in it i went to high school
in Alameda. I know the island of boobs really well
because mine used to be there. Well, thank you, Edward
Owens, Sir Fast Eddie Baronet of Alameda, the island of
boobs. Sir Christabal from Dallas, Texas, $333.33. Confession, during times
of low donations, John never hesitated to call producers out
on it. Each time my eyes would roll and I'd
think to myself, here comes JCD whining. What I would
give to hear his belly aching again. RIP JCDs or
Cristobal. Michael Rulon, Austin, Texas. $333.33. Sorry to hear about
JCD. Please share some F-cancer karma with the No Agenda
Nation. You've got karma. Eddie Sanders from El Bear, Colorado.
$333.33. I know this letter will find you well. Only
Bakelite's where you are now. You have been pissing me
off since the back pages of PC World. Then, years
later, I found you joyously killing the buzz twice a
week. Expertly done. Rest knowing you will never have to
dedouche another. Adam, I am so sorry you are left
with a burden, but it is time to de-douche high
test. You've been de-douched. Also, Adam, you will need to
continue to investigate and report on the oral contents of
the others. Oh, okay. More... Right. Yeah, what's in your
mouth? More, more years. What is that? Yak karma, please.
Oh, yak karma. Hold on a second. Where's my yak
karma? Here we go. You've got... karma.
And then this one, it's too big. I'm so sorry.
No, no, I got it. It's from the Duke of
the South, Sir Patrick Coble. Happy to read it. Okay.
Howdy again to the Dvorak clan and Adam. You know,
Patrick Coble has been such a staple of the show
and the meetups in particular everywhere around the world. I
wanted to make sure I sent one last note because
John always knew people are behind on the newsletters and
spam monster eats emails, so you have to stretch the
promos out a bit. Y'all did an amazing job with
the show 1888. He would be proud of all you
did to team up and get through everything. And he
would have had a grin a couple of times with
all the good things being said about him. No agenda
and their favorite John moments. I talked to many people
after and everyone said it was like we were all
at a celebration of life together with a family and
feeling like we were part of that family too. But
when Raven came out of Club 33, I knew it
was going to be a great show along with some
of the celebrities. appearances too. Yes, we had billionaires, millionaires,
and paupers. It was great. After that show, I thought
about a saying that Adam and I have heard a
lot in our church circles that was brought out on
the show a couple times after Adam came back to
the church. I was never there. There are no coincidences
in the kingdom. After hearing the last show, I couldn't
agree with it anymore. We are all here at this
moment because of a huge series of events in our
own journeys in our lives. Some roads were longer and
windier, and the number of bumps varied too, but we
are here now. The tech that came out over the
years that John criticized but also loved is a major
part of what No Agenda Nation is here. Podcasting can
be attributed to the podfather himself, Adam Curry, not to
be confused with Adam Carolla, a radio and music nerd
who was on the internet the same time John was,
but going after other dreams with websites until he asked
Dave Weiner to modify RSS architecture so large audio files
could attach to web feeds. And with the help of
some other nerds, we now have podcasting. Adam didn't stop
there. going, decentralizing to protect it from censorship. Who would
have thought a pirate radio kid turned nerd would help
come up with podcasting, the exact medium that he would
meet his best friend turned brother, John C. Dvorak. The
same technology that John reviewed over the years was used
to record and stream all those shows all over the
world. John and Adam are true podcasting superheroes for the
whole world. Things happen exactly like they were supposed to
make Noah Gendon Nation happen. There are no coincidences in
the kingdom. I'm thankful Adam's work with Curry and the
Keeper and with Pastor Jimmy on We Get to Do
This and his work to build the Godcaster app is
bringing more people to the church. Thank you. Sorry, John,
again, two long notes in a row. Psalm 34, 18.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those
who are crushed in spirit. Thank you, Sir Patrick. Bill
Defy from San Francisco, California, 33333. Listener since episode one.
Please accept this de-douching ketchup donation. You've been de-douched. Thank
you, John, for all the years of wit and wisdom.
You'll forever be remembered and missed. Condolences to the family
of ITM forever. Abnonimous from Neoshow, Wisconsin, 33333. Dear Adam
and Mimi, according to my accounting, I reached knight status
a couple of months ago and did not realize that
this donation brings me halfway to baronet. I'm sending you
all my deepest, most sincere condolences for the sudden loss
of JCD. My No Agenda journey began after watching Adam
on JRE during the COVID madness. I listened to one
episode of No Agenda and I was hooked. I'm thankful
for the never-ending well of stories and wisdom that John
shared week after week. Thank you, Adam. Thank you, John.
M- again. it revolved around an argument between Adam and
John about recycling content. Oh no! Mommy and Daddy are
fighting again! Love and light, Adam, Mimi, and the JCD
family. You are all in my prayers. P.S. I don't
think I ever received a proper dedouching, so please dedouche
me. as done moments ago. Please knight me, Sir Ollie,
of the effervescent quality, asking for the prayers jingle and
some Costco wine for the round table. It cuts off
on mine. Is there anything else besides the Costco wine
on the round table? Is that it? I think we're
good. Here we go. You've got it. prayers. And there's
Sir Johnny B. Goode. I haven't heard from him in
a while. 333.33. Ah, I know who he is. Adam,
Mimi, and Company. Of course I know who Sir Johnny
B. Goode is. We continue to feel great sadness about
JCD's passing. We are sorry for the gaping hole in
your lives and are praying God's peace, which passes all
understanding for all y'all. While I contributed to the last
show, this additional donation is meant to affirm all JCD's
contributions to our lives these past years, you in the
days ahead for now add another executive producer title for
me thank you for your courage may you stay strong
and one wavering unwavering sir johnny be good enough of

john Sir Eric is naked, Seattle, Washington, 33333. In the
morning, OU, I had the pleasure of meeting fellow producers
at the Snoqualmie Valley Dvorak Remember Meetup in North Bend,
Washington, Saturday afternoon. We were caught up in sharing our
stories, how we found No Agenda, and honoring John with
our favorite quotes and sayings. We neglected to record a
report we would never have met if not for the
No Agenda community. Semper Fi, No Agenda family, Sir Eric
is naked. Barron Sir Goodfellow, Orlando, Florida, 33333. Holy crap
is all I could say after Wednesday, the newsletter. Adam,
Mimi, and family, I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. Listening
to 1888 has helped me formulate a small way how
I can say thank you for being there during the
millions of pounds lifted, the thousands of miles run, the
dozens of countries visited, multiple houses renovated, three kids reared,
and thankfully only one wife. Listening since 2009, coming from
Twit and leaving when John did. say this is the
only podcast I have listened to every week for more
than 33% of my life. It's for me. It's formed
my thought and actions and saved my mind more times
than I can count. The interview John did with Bob
Heil all those years ago was of tremendous value to
me and gave me a glimpse of where the industry
I work in, touring and events, came from. I've always
remembered that and thought of it fondly. I look forward
to the next chapter as John's legacy lives on, and
so my wife can ask, what did the no-agenda folk
have to say about that whatever thing she saw online?
This note is too long already, but making shorter didn't
seem possible. No jingles, no karma. Barron Sir Goodfellow. Adam
Harper, Savannah, Georgia, 33333. John and Adam, thank you for
the countless hours of entertainment that you have provided, as
well as the much-needed sanity you gave us during those
COVID years. Not sure we would have survived without you.
John was one of a kind and will be greatly
missed. I'll get the next one with Manuka Gold. From
the Manuka Gold family to the entire No Agenda team,
all weekend we've been talking with our No Agenda customers
who are feeling this great loss of John, and we
agree. Thursday's show was so inspiring and positive. Thank you
for all you do. John finally got around to trying
the Manuka Gold. He did. And he loved it. He
was like, oh, this is actually really good. So I
had to throw that in. Let me, I'll get, I've
been really quiet, so let me get a few. Sir
Chris of the Harp Husbands, Streamwood, Illinois. 33333. Dear Adam
and Mimi, I just learned this morning of John's passing.
I've been out of the news since I'm caring for
my 88-year-old mother. She beat John by eight years. I
have no words. I haven't even finished Sunday's show yet.
Most sincerely, with the deepest condolences, Chris Keller, Streamwood, Illinois.
Sir Chris of the Harp Husbands. Baronet Sir Adam of...
Timreel? Maybe? Tamriel? Tamriel. Tamriel. Derby, Derbyshire, Great Britain. 333
for JCD. Use this in any way that helps most.
Well, nothing's going to help him now, but I appreciate
it. It'll help you. And Adam. Baronet Sir Adam of
Tamriel. Tamriel. Whatever. Jeremy Meha. Mi eija? Mi hija. Wayne,
Michigan. In the morning, douche, and that's with a U,
morning, douchebag removal service is needed. You've been de-douched. Gotta
remove. Gotta remove. Yep, it's removed. Sadly, it looks like
John found his exit plan. Our deepest condolences to the...
Dvorak family and No Agenda community. Sir Dame Donkey Puncher.
I like that. Yorkville, Illinois. Sir and Dame Donkey Puncher
here. We really miss John. Our condolences to the Dvoraks,
Adam and Andrew. Since John can't complain, we can... Yeah,
yeah. I will squeak. John's chair gently squeaks. Yeah, well,
it doesn't gently squeak. I've been hearing from everybody. Yes,
yes. I would have oiled it, but I think people
would have gotten mad at me. No, no, no, you
can't do that. I'm gonna pour out some Kirkland Bordeaux
for my homie. Rest in peace, John. Sir Euchre, Matthews,
North Carolina. Rest in peace, JCD. Thank you for your
courage and amazing sense of humor. Your light will be
missed by us all. God's peace upon the Dvorak and
Curry families. We love you all. Sir Euchre, Knight of
the Sandy Ridge. Requesting the short I Got Ants and
give it up for Raven Jingles. All will be at
the very end. I'm going to edit all of that
in later. Okay. Uh. list actually. Sir Kevin of Devon,
Gig Harbor, Washington. Ah, Gig Harbor, one of my favorite
places. My journey with No Agenda started with the very
first episode. I was hooked and stayed for the whole
amazing adventure. Like many have said, I knew John from
his columns in PC Magazine and Adam from Headbangers Ball.
At least, I thought I knew them. From the start,
No Agenda felt like close friends talking, and I got
a chance to be part of the group. I learned
the lingo and my life was forever Hmm. He was
wrong about OS2. Yeah, no kidding. In Dvorak predicts in
1995, YouTube channel real boring flips. My ecstasy strategy is
littered with no agenda John-isms and ITM comments. I get
to bring great joy. I cherish my emails with John.
He thoughtfully explained why my idea to give an honorary
knighthood to Larry King was not good for the show.
He convinced me that he really did put that IBM
PS2 computer back together again. No, we don't believe, nobody
believes that. Nobody believes he put that back together. Yeah,
probably not. It's been an emotional week, but I can
lean on the words of Paul in Romans 12, 15.
Rejoice with those. Rejoice with those rejoice. Mourn with those
who mourn. I promise I will continue to do both
for Adam and Andrew, Mimi and the rest of the
Dvorak family, and all of the No Agenda and DH
Unplugged Nation. Rest easy, John. Sir Kevin of Devon, Gig
Harbor, Washington. Sean Smith of Ashland City, Tennessee with $333.
I've been listening since before show number one, way back
to the DSC days. In this almost 20 years, I've
been divorced, remarried, lost both of my parents. Fuck cancer.
And three legit career changes. One thing has stayed the
same every week. Twice a week, I heard Adam and
John's voice. I may have missed a show occasionally, but
I never stopped listening. Thank you for all these years
of keeping me informed, curious, and always smiling. And when
I heard the first notes of On the Seventh Day,
it was a little bittersweet. On that note, at the
very end of the song, the piano plays its final
F major chord and then plays a very soft last
note, the note A, and that chord and the third
note in the scale 33. You had us under mind
control this whole time. Yes, this is the first person
to ever notice that. Wow. Wow. Incredible. 18 years. Wow.
Love y'all. Sean, long-time listener and donor. Colin McCarthy with
333. No location listed. Listening to episode 188, I found
I was not alone in my grief for a man
I'd never met, yet felt so connected to, and while
listening to Mimi talk about the night he passed, I
started to tear up. I've been listening to No Agenda
since 2008, after John's many twit appearances. John and Adam
opened a whole new way of thinking to a 24-year-old
me who was just trying to figure out what the
hell I was doing. Nice. to pay for my lunch
the total was 12.34 that settled it so with this
i want to become sir load neighbor of night loud
neighbor night of the lowest hills pronounced lus hills lus

Cancer Karma for everyone who has fought it or lost
someone to it? Thank you for your courage, John, Adam,
Mimi, and the Dvorak clan. P.S. Mimi, I'm excited for
the downstairs stereo pictures, and I hope you can convince
the funeral home to release ants in his honor. So,
Colin, I actually remember seeing all of your checks that
came through, because I always look at them, and I
went, ah, I know the name. So, yes, we will
take pictures. I don't know how fast I'll be. Nag
me. Please nag me. I'm really good at that. Let
me give him the F cancer here. you You've got
karma. Well, we got Commodore Sir Matt Wheeler's Hill of
Victoria, Australia. Commodore Sir Matt in Melbourne, Viscount of Victoria,
on the tragic passing of the seer, prognosticator, analysis, and
legend, John C. Dvorak, a producer since the 40s, mid-2008,
I think, and episode since 199, I have not missed
a show in 18 years. It's strange that someone I've
never met and only communicated with through email could have
such an impact on my life. and has now left
a hole. No agenda hit me in the mouth with
the way you both think about the world and how
to make sense of the information that is supplied to
us. Neither of my Thursdays this week will ever be
the same without his voice, but I am forever grateful
for his presence in my life. My love to all
the Dvorak and Curry families, to all of my No
Agenda family members in mourning. The community he helped build
will keep his spirit alive for a long time. With
love, Matt. Dylan Thighs of Valley, Nebraska. My older brother
Troy got me into the show eight years ago. I
tried to never miss an episode. I will miss John.
With this donation, I will reach knighthood. I wish John
could have knighted me. R.I.P. Love, the Noah Genination. Michael
Miller with $304.15. We're out of the 333. I feel
like I've been on a ride for over 18 years
that I never wanted to end. Although the ride may
change, I hope it continues. My deepest condolences to the
Dvorak, Curry, and Horowitz families and to the entire Noah
Gena nation. to 88, plus $88 in fees. Ashley Slater,
Elk River, Minnesota. Yes. In the morning, Adam, friends, family,
and all producers and douchebags, this is a $303.57 donation.
As I listen to the Thursday show, I choke up
and smile and laugh at the notes and memories shared.
What a beautiful tribute to John's spectacular life. We will
be missed, John. You will be missed, John. I had
more to say, but the words aren't wording. I'm sure
John would prefer it that way. Ashley Slater. Ashley, thank
you. Matt from Arkansas with $300. Sorry to hear that
John is now a silent key. Condolences and prayers from
Mimi, Adam, and the rest of the Vorak family. John
will be missed. 73, Matt. 73s. Yeah. Victor from West
Hills, California, with a $300 donation. We wanted to send
our deepest condolences on John's passing. My wife and I
have been listening to John and Adam for well over
a decade, and their conversations have genuinely shaped the way
we think about the world. John's curiosity, wisdom, and perspective
had a lasting impact on us, even from afar. When
we heard the news, we couldn't fall asleep that night.
It was difficult to process. privilege of knowing John personally,
it truly felt like we had lost someone whose voice
had been a meaningful part of our lives for many
years. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.
We're keeping you, your family, and everyone who loved him
in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Karma to
the Dvorak family and Adam.
Hey JC, did you get a new mic working? Does
this sound better? Yes! Oh yeah! Woah! Alright! I'm deaf
now, oh my god! You're out of control, man, you're
out of control! We just did, uh, just did Matt.
Yes, I think so. Victor, West Hills, California. Which I
believe has... At $300, we won a... Can you still
hear me? Yes. It was Matt's turn, actually. Oh, it's
Matt's turn. It's Matt's turn. Yeah. Matt... Which Matt? We
got a couple of Matts. Who's Matt? Wait, what are
we doing? It was Matthew. Oh, Matthew Nicole. Yes. Oh,
little Compton. Little seaside Compton. What is that? Rhode Island?
Where is that? Anyway, $300. I've been a knight for
a decade. The roundtable won't be the same without JCD,
but it must go on. Looking forward to whatever comes
next to keep the roundtable together. Rest in peace, JCD,
T-Y-F-Y-A-C. Thaumonymous in Amos, Pennsylvania. Dear No Agenda family, Tomonymous
here. So sorry for the loss of one of the
greats. I've been listening to No Agenda since show 996.
I never had the chance to meet John, to shake
his hand, and certainly never had a dinner with him.
But it's amazing how someone you never met could literally
feel like a good friend. That's a testament to how
unique, true, and unapologetically real JCD was. I found out
about his passing from a fellow producer, Greg the Welder.
He called me to tell me the news because he
thought it would be better if it came from a
friend than just seeing it on my phone later that
night. John wasn't just some podcaster. He was a friend
to me and millions of others in Gitmo Nation. He
brought great humor, unmatched insight, and bottomless value to all
of us. Now he's partaking in the great sock hop
in the sky. Think of the Dvorak and Curry families.
And for some reason, I can't stop thinking about that
time John had an encounter with a public pooper. Played
that. Played it. Played it. Sir Gordon Walton, Austin, Texas,
$288.88. He is a big-time baron. Mmm. Sir J.C.D., the
world is a little dimmer without you in it. Gordon
Walton, Baron of Melam County. Sir Tigger Max, 288.88 cents.
J.C.D., it's an unfair exit strategy for us, but perhaps
the final bow and your easy chair was your personal
choice. You leave us with heavy hearts and wonderful memories.
ITM bro, sir Tigger Max. Nate Thurman, 288.88. Please accept
this 288.88 donation in honor of JCD. No note in
honor of John. But I do request that SpookyJCD donate
and you slaves can eat mac and cheese. Sending prayers
and love, Nate Thurman at Frodo the letter in boots
on X. Sir Dalton Fisher, 288, 88. ITM, Gitmo Nation.
It's hard to say how much John meant to me.
Truly my perspective on technology, business, politics, media, and so
much more was shaped by JCD. I'm 29 years old
now, and I started listening when I was still in
high school. That is the math, and that means in
total, I have spent a total of about 1.4% of
my entire life with John and Adam in my ears.
To say John made an impact on me is an
understatement. Thank you for your prayers, Buzzkill. You and the
whole Dvorak clan will be in my prayers. For all
your blue-collar video content needs anywhere in the USA, go
to fishmultimedia.com. Fishermultimedia.com. John would have wanted this donation to
be a tax write-off. Godspeed, Sir Dalton Fisher, Commodore of
Content. Craig Clifford, Uxbridge, Ontario. Craig Clifford, Knights of the
Rolling Hills of Uxbridge, Ontario. Email to Adam. $288.88. Did
we get that or not? Let me take a look.
So Oxbridge is the trail capital of Canada. Well, while
you look, I can tell people facts. It's 300 kilometers
of trails for the Oak Ridge Moraine. I do not
have his email, unfortunately. Sorry. The Anne of Green Gables
author lived there. Anyway. Sir Preston, Santa Rosa, California. 288?
88. Words cannot express what I feel, but I have
to blast some out anyway. I've been a 12-12 a
month donor since early 2012. I remember watching JCD on
tech TV in college. I discovered no agenda via twit
barf emoji. JCD, a snarky take on the bull crap
that was covered was why I kept turning in, tuning
in. Luckily, his plugs for the No Agenda show led
me to the light. Also props to Adam for whipping
out his piece on the air. That's what got me
fired from ever being on Twit again. You have kept
me sane and questioning the M5M crap through so much.
This donation pushes me across the line to Baron. I
claim the title of Sir Preston Baron of the Driftless.
I'm lucky enough to have had the pleasure to meet
Buzzkill at one of the Sonoma County Wino meetups. Anyone
that had not had the opportunity but wanted to can
rest assured JCD was one of those people you meet
in real life, and they are exactly who you expected
them to be. A fucking champion. Chapeau, JCD. I'm pouring
one out for the real Dvorak, Preston. Yair Moore, 288.88.
Hello, Adam, Mimi, Jay, and the Rorick family. In this
time of grief, I want to share an unusual story
about the effect John had on one life. I stumbled
across a PCMag issue in 2003 when I was 18.
I started reading and got captivated by John's column. He
wrote about technology in a way nobody else did, with
his unique combination of wit, depth, and opinionated independence. From
that moment on, I knew what I wanted to do.
I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I followed his
career for 23 years and was always enlightened by the
way he took everything in a way that wasn't totally
serious, but well thought of. His takes on things were
always original and thought-provoking, and his sense of humor was
endearing, even when I didn't get the jokes. person in
my life after my parents. I will miss him dearly.
Mimi and the family, we will all cherish his memory.
His mark on the world will outlast us all. All
of us. Did we find a note? Let me take
over for a second, JC, because I found the note
from Craig Clifford that we just missed. Yay. Let's do
it. Craig Clifford, Knight of the Rolling Hills of Uxbridge,
Ontario here. Mine sincere condolences to the Dvorak and Currie
families. JCD touched many through his journey on this earth.
I'm sure he will be an inspiration up above. Mimi,
my wife just recently borrowed too many eggs from our
daughter's-in-law, my keeper. Kathy loves the book. Fridge is full
of Swiss deviled eggs. Presently, the introduction in the book
is funny when John pipes up and says, no, stop,
don't ask her about... Don't ask her about eggs! Maybe
you could explain more to the listeners about John's comments.
Get Mo Nation. Listen up. Order Mimi's cookbook. It is
fabulous. I just ordered our own copy. We will miss
you, JCD. Kind regards, Craig. I really love the crepe
recipe in that. Well, thank you. John would always say
to people, don't get her started. Don't ask her about
eggs. Please don't. Please, no, no, no. All right, take
it away, JC. Okay, wherever you are, JC. All right,
so nobody of New Jersey in Parlin, New Jersey. Um.
288.80. I wanted to say that Adam's speech at the
beginning of 1-8-8-8, with John's passing, I feel like I
have lost another teacher. Adam and John. have taught me
more about the news than most people. I have lately
been in a buzzkill mood as a group of friends
has TDS. There's nothing more fun than using the skills
I've learned from No Agenda, blasting their narratives in two
seconds and watching them flip out for a bit. It's
better than the Trump soap opera. My group of sanity
in these times has been the New Jersey meetups and
talking about the news, yes. but about normal everyday stuff.
I do not know what form the new form the
show will take, but I will ensure that the quarterly
Central New Jersey meetups will continue. Anyone wants to be
added to the email list, please email me at jerseyjamesscott
at gmail.com. Thank you, everyone. Jersey James, Scott, Sir Nobody
of New Jersey. Sir Daddycast, Mechanicsville, Virginia. What a cool
name for a town. Okay, 288. To accompany my 288
donation in honor of JCD, I was in the group
who was hoping it wasn't true. A void we can
never fully fill. John was a special voice when I
followed since the tech TV days. Missed without a doubt.
Peace and prayers to the Dvorak family. Sir Diddy... Sir
Daddycast, Baron of the Center of the Universe. PD Love,

so saddened to hear about the loss of Uncle John.
We will greatly miss him and are praying for the

other friends and loved ones. Love, The Highland Craigs. Dame
Tanya, New York. $269. Good to hear from you, Dame
Tanya. Wow, just wow. Dame Tanya here, Countess of the
No Agenda Roundtable. Saddened and shocked by our friend John
C. Dvorak's passing. I've been reading his columns since the
1980s, always giggling at his snark, digs, humor, and what
we now know as trolling. Found him later on Twit,
which led me to No Agenda, and I started listening
from episode 34 in June 2008. I went back and
listened from the start. Even during the period where it
appeared I was Dame Overboard, I listened to every single
No Agenda show. From my dose of JCD, and you
too, Adam, shout out to Cranky Geeks, Tech 5, Tech
Grouch, and Tech Hippie. Those tie-dye underpants are now a
collectible. Donation amount for the show I was knighted on,
episode 169. Bumped it up to 269 for executive producer
credit. Love you all, and Mimi's appearance through these crises
make it clear that John had an absolutely wonderful partner
and soulmate in his life in the morning. Commodore Sir
Kaz in Brighton, England. Oh, Kaz. Holy crap. Haven't heard
him in forever.
Well, it brings in 269. I am grateful for co-emperor
of the galaxy, John C. Dvorak's invaluable contributions to our
lives. It was a pleasure meeting John, Mimi, and the
family at the last London meetup. Oh yeah, I remember
that. Yeah, yeah, me too. I'm saddened by John's passing,
but I know he's watching over us from above, providing
us with a sarcastic yet insightful commentary. He shaped our
thoughts and will continue to do so for eternity. To
Mimi, the family, and Adam, we all feel your pain,
but know John's words touch so many lives. A part
of John lives on through all of us, readers, listeners,
fans, and family. Godspeed, John. You'll be deeply missed. Ed
Warner, 268.78. This donation is my JCD donation. I'll claim
my knight name as Sir Ten Lee Tripping. I'm very
sad to realize that I had been a knight a
few donations ago and could have had a JCD knighting.
Still, I'm happy to finally be and claim my night
name. I will truly miss a person I've never met,
but would call a friend. Even though I was never
invited to his home, prayers for the Dvoraks, Kurys, and
everyone in the Nojenta family. Jingles I would like, F-35,
what in the world, a karma, and prayers, so I
got everyone covered. and magic mushrooms, and maybe some LSD
for those that partake at the roundtable. Thank you for
your attention to this matter. Freshly minted, Sir Ten Lee
Tripping, Burlington, Washington. ITM. Sir Robbie the Redoer. 263.22 cents.
I'll miss your stories. I'll miss your jokes. I'll miss
your references. I'll miss you. Sir Robbie, the Redoer, now
a Baronet. Brian H. from Wimberley, Texas. Hard to believe
when it hit me. The 1,888 artwork wasn't some morbid
play on a hypothetical. Nearly impossible to fathom in the
moment. Adam, you and John have been a true dynamic
duo, a chemistry that felt so proper and right that
the pairings felt unmovable, like a natural order of sorts,
which should reasonably carry on to perpetuity. It hits hard
even as a listener who never met John, so I'm
feeling for all who were blessed to be close, looking
forward to the great things still to come no agenda
as John Spirit lives on to the show. David Brine,
255.55. Thank you, John and his family. Too soon, but
great impact from Silicon Spin to No Agenda for information
and fun. Ken of Weinstock, Tucker, Georgia. $253.90, which is
to say $188.88 plus $65.02. $65.02 is because it always
reminded JCD of the chip. Yep. Godspeed, JCD and JNK.
Mike Formanick, $250. I'm a Tom Woods listener who was
hooked from the start back in 2024. I will miss
John's encyclopedic knowledge gained from his wide-ranging experiences. I've learned
quite a bit since which has helped me out in
the real world more ways than I can count. For
my night name, I request to be named Sir Michael
Protector of the Peas. Peas being my daughters, Phoebe and
Penelope. And for the round table, Vicar Boreal Juniper Gin
Martinis. No jingles, just a de-douching, please. You've been de-douched.
Jane Zhang. I'll just jump in. This one's easy. These
next two are very easy. Let me do two more
and then I'm done. I need to get these numbers.
I got to get my numbers up. He's unstoppable. The
troll room keeps giving me karma. I'm addicted. All right.
Jane Zhang, 250. RAP, JCD, we will miss you. And
Allison Stang, Champlin. Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota, 250. No note. Okay,
Dame Kim. Vacheron, Dear Mimi, Jay, Buzzkill Jr., Adam, and
all who love JCD. Reading the news about John's passing
was devastating, and my son and I, he hit me
in the mouth many years ago, your son's not supposed
to hit you, are so very sad for all you
and also for all of you and all of ourselves.
We'll miss hearing John's incredible voice twice. Okay, read and
go. I can't talk. We will miss hearing John's incredible
voice twice weekly deconstruction, his sharp wit, and even his
occasional grousing very much. He opened our eyes and kept
our amygdala small, and for that we are forever grateful.
Please accept our deepest condolences and know that so many
of us are lifting you up in prayer at this
very difficult time. Love and light to everyone, and rest
in peace, JCD. Much love. Damon Edwards from San Francisco,
California with a $2.50 donation. So long and thanks for
all the fish. Classic. Classic. Absolutely. Yeah. Kees Hoenig. Kees
Hoenig. Yeah, the G is like a... I can't do
that. I can't do the... Yeah, you're good. Kees Hoenig
from Amsterdam. Um... I'm very sorry for the loss of
JCD, for you, his family, and frankly, also for ours.
Me and my wife have been longtime listeners and weekly
donors for over eight years. Never missed an episode. Your
show became what watching a Seinfeld episode was before I
started listening to No Agenda. A healthy dose of hilarious
relativism of life. John's fearless free thinking was like taking
Xanax for the years. Calming, a good time. and strangely
addictive. Living through COVID in Brooklyn, New York, you guys
were a beacon of common sense while everyone around us
was going crazy. In Brooklyn, especially. Wow. I know. During
trying times, my thoughts was I can always listen to
these guys and check out for a couple of hours.
I understand now that I never realized the beacon one
day would not be there anymore. I'm very grateful for
all those years. And also very sad. JCD's chair stopped
squeaking. It's not it's not yet. Sorry to burst your
bubble with love case honey Amsterdam Netherlands Royce Kokami with
$233.99. Firstly, my condolences to everyone, especially the Dvorak family.
I donated last minute for the past Thursday show, but
didn't have time to gather my thoughts and write a
note. So here's another donation of $222.22 plus fees. Total
$233.99. I don't remember the exact episode number when I
started listening, but I know it was shortly after you
guys started. Around episode five. It was still November 2007.
It still amazes me that you guys started the show
in a pre-Obama era America. It was a different world
back then. I stopped listening to Twit a while ago,
but some of my favorite episodes were the ones with
John in them, especially if John and Jolie O'Dell were
there, both there. they played off each other well. Side
note, I always thought it was a little cool and
funny that my friend Chris, who I helped get into
the show, is born on the same day the show
started, October 26th. as well as Hillary Clinton. Oh, no.
I always like to poke fun at him that they're
cousins. Anyway, thank you for all these years. Same things
make us laugh. Let me pick up a couple, Brennan.
It's my turn. Everyone's been talking. Colin Fannin, uh, Matawan.
Michigan, 233. I was saddened to hear of John's passing
during Thursday's episode. As a practicing Catholic, I'll be adding
John to my litany of the faithfully departed and will
continue praying for him and his family. This donation takes
me to knighthood. I'm grateful for everything I've learned from
the podcast over the years, from thought-provoking discussions to movie
recommendations. But most importantly, I'm not easily rattled or enraged
by the news. This has been invaluable. Thank you. As
the owner of, oh yes, I know Colin. fitness for
people with real constraints. Oh, here we go. I'd like
to honor John's memory by offering 20% off any coaching
service with the promo code John C. I'll also continue
to offer my value for value meal plans with the
promo code V for V. Adam, I hope to start
working with you soon. Yes, Colin, we will. If you
or someone you care about isn't prioritizing their health, consider
starting sooner rather than later. If consistency has been a
challenge or you're not sure where to begin, I'd be
happy to help. Schedule a free consultation and learn more

tragedy. As to the aforementioned squeaky chair in heaven, I
can see JCD right now drafting a memo. To the
management! Thanks and love to the Dvorak family for sharing
this man with us, for all the unseen work in
the background, because no way a crackpot and or buzzkill
could have pulled this wonderful thing off all by themselves.
Much love and all light, Smithers from Virginia. Sir, who's
Ed? Waterford, Michigan. 222.94. In the morning with prayers. Sir,
who's Ed? Baronette Matt of Northeast Ohio 222.88. too much,
asked for an F cancer from my wife.
Everyone else who was affected by this horrible disease, Baronet
Matt of Northeast Ohio. You've got karma. Scott North, full
row of ducks, 222.22. I will miss John's sense of
humor, life stories, and keen insights, but mostly I will
miss how much he reminds me of my own father,
who introduced me to John's work via PC Magazine in
the early 90s and who passed away several years ago,
also at the age of 80. I would like to
honor John with a row of ducks and ask for
the OTG kind of guy jingle. Yes, it'll be at
the end. Scott North, Orange County, California. Chaz Straney, Charleston,
South Carolina. Rove Ducks. Since John's passing, in moments of
prayer, I am returned to the word courage. To live
a life the way John lived, hewing always to intellectual
honesty and questioning everything is truly courageous. What's more, to
be full of good humor, to love, to laugh with
others, and to lighten others' loads through their jocularity and
wit. Second time we've heard that word. To what better
end can someone give their days? Thank you, John, for
your courage. God bless you. Chaz. trainee. Sir Sidereel, Bountiful
Utah, Rove Ducks. Sir Sidereel will wait a while longer

a sustaining donor since 2018, but was listening well before
the pansexual meatloaf, and I passed knighthood some time ago
and never claimed it, but would like to claim it
now. I'd like to be knighted Sir Whiskey November. Nothing
for the round table. I'll just pick off others' plates.
Being a swing shift worker, I sometimes run a little
behind on shows, so I listen to 1888 before 1887
due to the circumstances. Whoever created the opening-closing song in
the morning, thank you. say. That is the Jeff Smith,
G-O-F-F Smith in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm about halfway through 1887,
and it's a beautiful listen. John had full curmudgeon locked
in out of the gate, complaints about the World Cup
and donations, dissing on Cleo's name, and having to be
prodded into congratulating the birth. Also, who else in the
potosphere could offer any amount of commentary on Swedish jowl
features or Molotov versus Flambe cocktails? I'm astounded that only
one producer of show 1888 mentioned one of the funniest
moments of the last 10 years. I'm assuming someone else
will send it in today, but I've attached it with
this note just in case. John, thank you from the
bottom of my heart for everything. Exit strategy, Adam. Screw
your freedom. We need you now more than ever. Mimi,
truly my heart goes out to you and your family
for your loss. Sincerely, Mike. Juliana Lee, $210.60. I am
so sad. Sending you all my love. My chest is
tight with grief, but I know I'll hear his voice
again when my time here is up. He's the crankiest
angel in heaven. God bless, JCD. Frank Maloney, Sister Bay,
Wisconsin, 21060. Adam and John talked me out of the
Dave Smith and Company Israel doom spiral, and for that,
I am forever grateful. Rest in peace, John. Thank you
both. Frank Maloney, Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Samantha Best, Rogers, Arizona,
Arkansas. Yeah, Arkansas, 210.6, 60 cents. Yesterday, my 15-year-old son
looked at me with disgust in his eyes and asked,
are you finally going to donate now? So yes, I
am. This is long overdue, and I regret that it
took something of this magnitude to call me to action.
My husband and I found no agenda during COVID, and
it legitimized all that we felt during that time. My
young boys listened with us and loved all the jingles,
especially Al Sharpton and Goat Karma. Adam, you and John
have been with us on family vacations, long solo drives,
drinking coffee on the porch, other parts of our lives.
I am forever grateful to have found no agenda and
will sorely miss everything and learning from John, sending hugs
and positive energy to his family, friends, and all who
loved him. Jingles, that's true. Al Sharpton, the one with
Sigourney Weaver. Samantha Best. And you get a dedouching, of
course. You've been dedouched. Matthew Knows, Nashville, Tennessee, 21060. I'd
like to send my condolences to the Dvorak and Curry
families. We'll be praying for you. Thanks to both John
and Adam for the analysis and entertainment over the years.
John is truly one of a kind, and he will
be greatly missed. Sir Clintilius of the Pacific Northwest 20888,
and he wants that's not a great question, and that's
true. In the morning, I'm truly grateful for the incredible
blessing of finding John through Twit and then being able
to listen to him twice a week since 2015. Words
cannot express how I feel since I've learned of his
passing. I felt such a kinship to a man who
I've never met in person, but I've considered him like
an uncle or a father. When my father passed in
November, I still had John for weekly wisdom. double loss.
There were only three years difference in age and I
think that is why I took such a liking to
the way John thought. Fun fact, they are the only
two men I've ever heard Soy sauce referred to as
bug juice. I'm a better man having had JCD be
a part of my life. Buzzkill, you will be sorely
missed. Rest in peace. My condolences and prayers for the
Dvoraks, Adam and Andrew, and all of the No Agenda
family, Sir Clint Hillies of the Pacific Northwest. And there's
Sir Daniel J. Lewis from Burlington, Kentucky. Nice to hear
from you, Sir Daniel J. Lewis. 208-88. Dear Noah Jen,
the family, I was saddened by our loss of John.
John was among the first voices I ever heard in
a podcast when I discovered Twit in 2005 after iTunes
4.9 stole podcasting from Adam. Wink. I must confess that
I think my opinion was on the wrong side of
history when Leo kicked John out of Twit. But when
I later started listening to No Agenda, I realized how
much I always appreciated John's blunt perspectives and critical thinking.
Every time I would hear John read messages about Image
Makers Inc. with a K, I would kick myself for
not sending him my make good for a past omitted
donation note. And I kept meaning to send a new
note to have John read Prompting My New Podcasting Tool,
but written in the style of Linda Lupac. messages. Although
I'm a pod speeder, I listened to episode 1888 and
re-listened to 1887 at one time speed to absorb every
emotion. Good for you, Daniel J. I also couldn't help
but chuckle at numerous things John mentioned in 1887 that
he would probably say were reasons they took him out.
I'm late sending this report because I struggled over how
to express what I wanted to say, but I think
Romans 10, 18 to 13 says it best. But what
does it say? all who call on him. For everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved. Faithfully, Sir Daniel J. Lewis, Knight of Podcasting 2.0.
Sir David Sunder, Pacific Grove, California, 20888. Adam and John.
I wanted to say I'm sorry for this delayed value
for value. Things have been crazy lately. My wife and
I retired early exit strategy and my oldest is going
away to college in Estonia. I've been meaning to donate
to let you know how much a show has meant
to me and my family over the past 15 years
or so. So hearing of John's passing was like a
gut punch. I have to say that it hurts more
than the passing of anyone except close family members. But
then John has been part of my life for so
long in one way or the other that it's hard
to remember when he entered my life. Wow. For that,
I am thankful to you both and to everyone that
supported you along the way, family, friends, and producers. I
don't know what my life would be like if I
hadn't had you both in it, but I wouldn't be
as good or as interesting as it has been. Thank
you for missing my night years ago so that I
could take on the Black Knight title. I am sorry
for this long note, John. I've always kept donation notes
short out of respect, but I had to take this
opportunity to thank you or I'd regret it forever. John
and Adam, you have my gratitude. and love mimi and
the dvorak clan and adam and his family you are
in our prayers good luck godspeed itm sir david van
zander black knight of the pacific grove well actually in
the grand scheme of things that is a short note

right. Camille Katani, Iron River. That's in the Michigan U.K.
Um, 208. Hello, family. I want to make my first
donation to the No Agenda show. I've been listening since
2020, which means I've officially been a douchebag until now.
saddens me that it took the passing of John C.
Dvorak for me to finally become a producer, but his
passing has hit me square in the mouth and made
me realize just how much this podcast has meant to
me. Please forgive me. The impact No Agenda has had
on my life, my family, and the people I've shared
it with is truly...
- Tosht. - Niywian Cartini, Torrington, Connecticut. I've been listening
valuable. It's given me peace, encouraged me to question what
I'm told, and helped me realize that I don't have
to live in fear. Rest in peace, John C. Dvorak.

to the show since COVID hit. Since then, I... listening

shocked to hear his passing. I'm sorry for your loss.

to Adam, Mimi, and all of John's family, my heartfelt
condolences to all of you. I just don't know, I
just don't really know how to put things adequately in
simple words, but I know John was a stickler for,
try to do it right. Spoiler, he... Well, anyway. Like
so many others, I first came across JCD on Twit,
then followed him to Cranky Geeks, and then to No
Agenda. Through all this time, he has been someone who
not only informed and entertained me, but influenced the way
I thought about the world around me. He was always
a professional curmudgeon, but I always had the sense he
presented himself that way with a quiet, perhaps even ironic
smile deep down. I never had the chance to meet
John in person, although I almost did one time when
I visited Leo's studio many years ago of twit. John
was listed as a guest but unfortunately had to pull
out a short notice. I would have so loved to
have met him. I've been a Nojenta producer and donor
since probably episode 70 and John has always been there
each week like a long time reliable friend. I always
got a kick out of email from him even if
he didn't agree with me on whatever topic was whatever
the topic was well almost especially if he didn't like
so many in the no agenda family i am heartbroken
at the news of his passing i am though grateful
that it was peaceful even more so for the legacy
I feel as though I've lost a friend. Adam, your
tribute in episode 1,888 was beautiful. I was in tears.
Much love and respect to you. Mimi, best wishes to
you and your loved ones, from my family to yours.
Our thoughts are with you. Rest in peace, John C.
Dvorak. I can never... I'll miss you. Love and light.

find a new co-host, they'll have big shoes to fill.
You can find it. I'd love to hear John's recording
of Mimi imitating Amy Goodwin. It involves quacking. I'll have
to look for that. I don't know if I can
find that easily. Okay. Can you just do it, Amy?
And Mimi can just do an Amy Goodwin for us?
Not off the top of my head. Okay. The fans

you all. I've written and erased this ten times now.
Words are so pointless, yet at times it is more
pointless yet to try and stop them. This was so
unexpected and more crushing to me than ever I would
have imagined. Sometimes you don't know how deeply attached you
are to someone's wisdoms and perspective, their voice and wit
until it is suddenly taken away. He was a good
man who became terrifically important and dear to a lot
of people. So too are you, Adam, and I believe
in you and will remain your supporter. This is a
very special loss for you, and I wish you the
best in navigating it and coming out the other side
intact. There's so much more. There is so much more
that I wish I could do. You certainly are in
my prayers. Love to you all and peace to all.

they come. And that is true of the show, too.
No Agenda has led me to become a better, led
me to be a better professional. importantly, a better friend,
brother, a better son, husband, and father. Adam, I know
you meant... will go on in some form. there is
a way to make John's voice the voice of the
robot. John was the book of knowledge. I think you're
hearing, everyone is saying, JC, that they hear a young
John C. Dvorak in your voice. Oh, absolutely. Yes. Well,
I've got his vocal cords. Not literally, it's metaphorical. Don't

Okay. I started to try and think of what to
write, and the first thing I did was I wrote
a book. There are too many stories and ways inspired,
angered, or supported me from a distance to try and
pick just one. But then I realized, John's been giving
us a tip, just a tip, at the end of
every show for quite a while. I listen to them
all. Some are interesting, some are not. Just being honest.
But if you... John gave a tip about the AA
rechargeable batteries on Amazon, and I had to have them.
The way he described them and how they were... disrechargable
batteries, maybe jump on Amazon and get them while still
listening to the end of the show. Never used any
of his tips before. It just seems weird I picked
now to do something. And now the future, when we
were spring cleaning or moving or whatever, gotta help the
person that suggested this 12, old 12 pack of double...
lay rechargeable batteries should be thrown out. These stupid batteries
will be used for as long as I can use
them, but it'll always be in my office as a
reminder, John. Still can't believe he's gone. Wish he could
just recharge. We wish we could just recharge him so
I wouldn't have to miss him, but that's selfish. Oh,
wow. I'm sure he's resting peacefully and enjoying the outpouring
of love and support from the greatest family in the
universe, the No Agenda family. Sincerely, Saddened, DJ Briggs. Peter

Dear Adam and Mimi, first of all, my deepest condolences.
I'm a long-time listener, but first-time donator, so a de-douching
is that it's... place. You've been dedouched. honor of John's
favorite number, I donated 188.80 euro plus the fees. Now
that John's voice is no more part of the best
podcast in the universe, my Monday and Friday mornings in
the lowlands won't be the same. I was always eager
to start listening to a new episode of No Agenda
and smiling when hearing, usually John's opening sentence. He was
the best and the funniest. At this moment, I'm on
holiday in the French Alps with my wife and shocked
hearing of John's passing. As a sommelier, John would have
loved the taste of good French wine. Therefore, we raise
a glass to the memory of John C. Dvorak, where
the John C. stands for commemoration. Jingles. John's Rosita. I
have ants. John's spirit donate jingle. One of his best.

Hi Adam, Mimi, and family. My sincerest condolences for the
loss of JCD. It's the strangest thing to be emotional
about the passing of somebody you have never met in
your life. That must mean it was a great person.
Then again, listening to his voice for six hours a
week is more than I listen to my wife. So
maybe it is not so strange after all. We'll be
greatly missed. Be strong all together. Love and light. Bocca

to pronounce them because these people have been with us
for years and years and years. I love it. I
love it. I love it. Sir Slash Doom, Frederick, Colorado.

One nine eight, five cents. To the DeVar Curry No
Agenda families, I came to No Agenda via John's appearances
on Twit in 2011, I believe, and became a dame
on show 1000. This show has been a big part
of my life for 15 years. It won't be the
same without John, and it shouldn't be the same because
John was truly unique. Take comfort in knowing that he
is fondly remembered by so many. My first Manuka Gold
order arrived Friday, so I made a toast to John
with a teaspoon of bee well. Mimi mentioned that John
had a teaspoon before he passed, so I'm not sure
if it's a good idea or not, but we'll see.
It'll be fine. It'll be fine. I've been having it
for every day since. I'm still here. you Nick and
Dame Tabitha. 198. We're diminished. Sincere condolences from the Soaps
family to the Dvorak-Curry-Nojenta families. Now that I know John
was 80 and the New York Times is a garbage
rag. Finally he succeeded. Yes, yes, he got it, he
got it. That means John was 33 years older than
me. We welcomed No Agenda into our lives six years
ago, so here's a tribute to John of 6 times
33, or 198. We'll miss John more than any other
person we've never met and are so thankful for the
Thursdays and Sundays we had with him. May the peace
of the Lord comfort your grieving souls. Love ya. Mean
it. Nick and Dame Tabitha. Mitchell Rogers, 197.89. My smoking
hot partner, Shelly, and I have bonded over this show
for a long time. It'll never be the same. In
the morning, Mitchell. Two boroughs of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. 188.90
cents. Hi Adam and the No Agenda team. Rest in
peace, John. We've lost a great one. Sending prayers to
the Dvorak family, to Adam, and to the entire No
Agenda community. I have really enjoyed John's tip of the
day. Although I'm not a wine drinker, I would routinely
share the wine tips with my wife in hopes she
would start listening to the rest of the show, though
she hasn't caught on yet. I wanted to share a
personal tip of the day story. I was shopping at
the grocery store and needed to buy fish sauce for
a recipe. I was listening to the No Agenda show
on my headphones while looking for it, and lo and
behold, John's tip of the day started playing with his
recommendation for fish sauce, so I knew exactly what to
buy. Love it. I really appreciate what you guys have
created and continue to do. Godspeed, John C. Dvorak. Sincerely,
Drew Burrows, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Randy Wallen, Georgetown, Texas. $188.90.
Rest in peace, John. May God's loving embrace comfort your
family as well as the No Agenda universe. Your work
during COVID will always be remembered. Blessings, Randy Wallen, Georgetown,
Texas. All right. Yeah, take it over. Sir Dr. Jeff
of Atherton, California, $188.90. Dear Meany, Adam, Tina, and the
No Agenda family. I'm making a donation to Memory of
John, and I wanted to send along a few words
with it. I've been a listener for the better part
of a decade now, but my history with John actually
goes back much further than that. As a teenager in
the 1980s heading into my early 20s, I was completely
absorbed by computers, and a lot of what I taught
myself came from PC Magazine and the other periodicals of
the day. John was often the writer with the insider's
eye, because he'd clearly used the thing and had an
opinion about it. I read everything he wrote. He was
part of my education before I ever knew his voice.
Years later, I rediscovered him on Twit with Leo Laporte.
Arguing with Nilay Patel. Nilay Patel. Nilay Patel. Messing with
Leo's newest toys, switching the language on some poor unboxed
device to Korean or Russian just to watch the gas.
You know, he did that to my phone. Oh, yeah.
Of course he did. That's initiation, man. That's part of
the deal. That's where I first heard about No Agenda.
And when I tuned in, I got a genuine surprise.
co-host. The two of them became a real part of
my life. They were funny, I learned constantly, and I
loved the irreverence of it all. At a time when
so much media seemed engineered to keep people anxious, their
deconstruction of the news brought real clarity. They helped me
remember to actually think. To ask, who benefits? My listening
became routine in the best way. I TM'd the fat
lady singing, washing the car, driving back roads, coffee at
home on a Sunday morning. Every episode got listened to
more than once. More nights than I can count. I
fell asleep to the two of them arguing with each
other. I never met John and never met Adam either,
but I feel like I know them. Last Sunday, I
remember noticing John pause a couple of times, and at
one point he sounded congested. It took him a while
to clear his throat, and it bothered me. I wish
I'd had a way to reach him and just ask
if he was doing alright. Tell him to check in
with his cardiologist. That wasn't God's plan, apparently. Mimi, my
deepest condolences to you and the family. Adam, Tina, I'm
so sorry for your loss. Get a nation will go
on. It'll just be different now. God bless. Sir, Dr.
Jeff. No jingles, no karma for the note. Agenda family.
No jingles, just karma. Let me give him that. Just

Not big on putting myself out in the universe to
those that I do not really know, but I guess
your podcast affected me more than I would like to
admit. I know I'm one of many listeners to reach
out, but real prayers to Adam and John's family for
strength and healing in this time of mourning. I'm listening
to episode 1888, and your courage to share is amazing.
Thank you for sharing, memories with the no agenda family
so that everyone can process this loss with you sincerely,
Jenny Burt, Duluth, California. Aaron Mullet from an unknown location,
1-888-9-JINGLES. Heavenly farts, thank you for so much to the
family that both John and Adam have added to my
life. John will be greatly missed and always remembered. I
pray peace and blessings over John and his family. In
Jesus' name. Sir J. Knight of the Interstate. 1-888-89. My
deepest condolences to the Dvorak family. I started listening to
No Agenda after hearing Adam on the Joe Rogan on
March 4th, 2020. I tuned in to show 1230 and
I've been hooked ever since. You guys have been the
bookends of my week. I start my four-day run on
Sunday and come back home on Thursday. And the best
show has been with me every mile of the way.
One of the things that kept me coming back was
old, cranky guy who was also incredibly witty. Adam was
the showman, and John was the voice of knowledge.
I will forever miss JCD, his stories, his deep insights,
and his unique perspective. You guys came into my... since
1992 and I think could be filled. I didn't replace
Rush. I brought me mention and thought and conversation. I
recently became a Knight on March 13th, 2026, and I'm
looking forward to the next chapter of the No Agenda
Show. John's presence can never be replaced, but his legacy
will live on through the community he helped build. Sir
J. Knight of the Interstate. Michael Powers Jr. 18888. My
condolences. Eric in FEMA Region 1-18888. and left. There's going

in so many ways throughout the years, and my heart
goes out to Mimi, his family, Adam, and the No
Agenda community. Much love and respect, Eric and FEMA Region

Tokyo. Anonymous, Bloomington, Minnesota, 18888. I've appreciated what you both
have done over the years. Very sorry for your loss
of a great friend. Shepard from Donovan, Missouri. 18888. Dear
John and Adam, it doesn't feel right to not start
a donation letter or this note this way. So one
last time, that's how I'll do it. 2015 was a
formative year in my life. I graduated college, got married,
and had my first child. I also found the new
agenda, so in some way, John has been there as
my wife, and I created our family and was part
of it. why I feel quite gutted by his passing.
My oldest daughter was literally raised with John's voice in
the background of her life and she feels the same.
We've cried together. Thank you for all your contributions. You've
made this the hours. the unseen and heard work, providing
John with countless stories, opinions, and anecdotes, most of all.
Thank you for giving your husband and father to us
for six hours a week. You will be sorely missed.
I'm Shepard. Sir Brian, the miserable IT guy from Troy,
Michigan. He did 1-88-88. My deepest condolences to Mimi, the
entire Dvorak family, and Adam for the loss of the
legendary JCD. One of my treasured memories is driving John
around Detroit after the first Michigan meetup in 2014. columns.
He played it as cool as I could. I played
it, but played it as cool as I could. We
talked about No Agenda, Twit, technology, Detroit history, and he
complained about the cheap car. We visited Michigan Central Station,
John K. King Rare Bookstore, and a couple of beautiful
old churches. At the bookstore, he told me to park
in a no parking zone to be closer to the
door, and we got a parking ticket on the rental
car while inside. Let them try to find me, he
said, while crumpling up the ticket and tossing it in
the back seat. Classic JCD. Thank you for the memories,
John. by so many. Sir Brian, the miserable IT guy.

a donation would never match the value you brought to
this world. We are truly grateful. Richard Gardner. It has
taken me days to finally sit down and write this.
Learning of John's passing affected me more than I expected.
My first donation to Know Agenda was back on December
19, 2010, so I've been listening nearly twice a week
for nearly 17 years. You both have been such a
big part of my life for so long that I
can honestly say John had a tremendous impact on the
man I have grown into. Our home is stocked. with
dozens of items he personally recommended over the years, even
before the tip of the day. They now serve as
wonderful reminders of John in my daily life. While I
never made it to a meet-up to see him in
person, hearing him confidently state that I was definitely from
New York City, despite my donations coming from parts unknown,
always brings a smile to my face. There are far
too many highlights... I fell behind on the show over
the last few months and was listening at 1.2 times
speed. backlog. But with this week's news, I immediately reverted
back to normal speed. I'm taking in every remaining second
of John's wit and humor, enjoying it for the precious
commodity it now is. Rest in peace, dear Buzzkill. All
my love to Adam and the Dvorak family. Jared Collier,
18880, no note. Mark Brandenburg, 18888. Rest in peace, John.
Thank you for all the laughs and keeping us sane

never been so saddened by the news of a passing
someone I never had the privilege or honor of meeting.
I will miss John, his email responses that half the
time were a little dickish if he bothered at all,
his humor, wit, confrontational attitude towards Adam that spiced things
up, his obvious love for his family, his good advice
and tips, his buzzkill attitude, and his I will miss
this man I never met and still feel like I
knew a little. I pray for Mimi, JC, Jay, Theo,
Eric, and the rest of Dvorak's, the Currys, and the
many people that will carry John in their hearts and
memories. God bless John. and a family, undoubtedly Sir Johnny

Riksdag Norway, 10888. In the morning, NOAA Genet family. I've
been with you guys since episode one, which was published
a few weeks after I moved to Norway in October.
The move marked a new chapter in my life and
I'm grateful to have had you with me almost daily
ever since. Adam, I loved it when you managed to
make John laugh, especially the handful of times you really
caught him off guard and he blurted out a big,
har! Thanks. Thank you. That's all I really wanted to
do. Thanks to the Dvorak family for sharing John with
us for so long. He was wonderful and will be
sorely missed. Yay, Jesus, Sir James of Norway. Jason Watkins,
10535. Thanks, John, for the years of insight and for
the laughs. Rest in peace. And Jeremy Toth, 10648. I
missed that one. I'll do Drone Dork Will, 105.35. Greetings,
Podfather. This is hitting me harder than I would have
expected. The No Agenda Show is away from... listen to
my grumpy uncles deconstruct the world for me. It makes
me feel like I'm at the kids' table at a
family function, overhearing my favorite relatives be themselves, not realizing
they are influencing the next generation. I miss the times
of sitting with our elders and hearing them tell us
stories of their lives. I think this is something that
the current generation is lacking, and it's sad. That's what
No Agenda is for me. It's a way for me
to still pay respect to elders I hold high. and
high esteem and just listen to them. After all, they
deserve it. They paved the way for us to live
as we do today. For better or for worse is
what I think JCD would input here. I will miss
JCD to no end. His voice, his curmudgeon takes on
things, his wacky sound effects, and most of all, his
audio blunders that irk at him all the time. I
love you too, boomers. Rest in peace, JCD. I love
you. You don't have to read this part on the
air if you don't want to, but I will. Adam,
hang in there, brother. This has got to be a
rough time losing your dare friend. podcast partner. I feel
for you. I'm giving you a giant bear hug in
my head. He's gazing down upon us, bumping his mic
and smirking. Mimi, my condolences. John was an amazing and
we are all lucky to have Marna in our lives.
We love you on the show and looking forward to
the next chapter of No Agenda. Okay, can someone else
take over now? JC, your turn. Oh man, I was

found no agenda to be life-changing, and still do. The
John and Adam combo was perfect. There are few, if
any, out there with better taste than had John C.
Dvorak. Peter Lockwood, Richmond, California, 105.35. My wife and I
are long-term listeners. Over the years, the show has taught
us how to view the world and media through a
different lens, and for that, we are forever grateful. John
was instrumental in that education. He will be missed. Jim
Warren and Clayton Hyatt, 105.35 cents. We always marveled at
the breadth of John's knowledge. You'll be missed. Jim Warren
and Clayton Hyatt. Rocky Thomas, 105.35. As William Shakespeare wrote,

impact on others is eternal. Thank you. Edgar Schatz, Beaverton,
Oregon, 105.35. I may have never met John, but he
made a lasting impact in my life. you will be
missed. In many ways, everyone kind of met him. They
just, he didn't meet them. Yeah, it's true. Marianne Delphia,

of those two. 105, 35. Thank you, John, for the
insights, tips, jokes, critiques, calm, diversions, and deconstruction you've provided
to No Agenda community. We miss you and we hope
you rest in peace. Dean W. Evans, 105.35. Just heard
via Daily Tech News Show. Sitting here with a whiskey
and cigar in the UK as I heard... So it's
now in memory of John. The man will be missed.
I'm sure dad would ask, what whiskey? What cigar? Yes.
Exactly right. John Sweeney, 105.35. We all cried when we
heard the news, but feel blessed by his memory and
all he's given to the world. A true hearer may
he rest in peace. Joshua Patter, 105.35. I need to
know, was John bumping the mic a bit? No. It
almost certainly wasn't. start as an accident and end up
as a bit? Love all you guys. It was not
a bit. He was super annoying with his bumping of
the mic, which he always said he wasn't doing, but
he was. He was bumping the mic. I mean, this
mic stand is about a thousand years old. I think
it was the first one ever created on Earth. It
is old and it's filthy. And it's in the way.
And it leans. It leans. It was made in Rome.
It's got Latin on it. Yes, there you go. Yeah.
And it's really hard not to bump it the way
this room's set up. So there's that. So it wasn't
a bit. It was just a bit annoying. Yeah. I'll
keep it up. So, go ahead, JC. Jesse Miller, 105.35.
No, you didn't finish Joshua Parker. Love you all, you
guys. Oh, yeah. Love all you guys in the No
Agenda family. Gonna miss the old coot. Jesse Miller, 105.35.
This is my second donation over two years of being
hit in the mouth. Unfortunately, this donation will not make
JCD less grumpy. But I just wanted to thank you
guys for your... I've looked forward to each and every
pod, and I've always enjoyed... I never met the guy,
but he felt like family, and I'm devastated to see
John go. My heart goes out to you, Adam, and
all of John's family and friends. Rest in peace, John.
Ben Clement, 105.35. Dear John, for decades you have shared
your witty personality with us. best insights with your tips
and opinions and even showed how to should sound like.
Be it on Cranky Geeks, Tech 5, or the No
Genta Show, just to name a few, you've been a
true inspiration. safe trip to that big round table up
there. And that Adam, Mimi, and the rest of your
family and loved ones will find the strength that they
will need in these difficult times. I'd like to request
to turn down your speakers and you've got karma jingle.

Steve Brown, 105.35, best tech pundit in history. In an

Rosie Posey. 105.35. Dear Mimi and Adam, we are sorry
to hear about the passing of John. My mom and
I hope you and the rest of the Dvorak family
heal with those you hold dear and close to and
pray that John is resting in peace with the Lord.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Matthew 5.4. It breaks my heart that I'll never get
to meet the man himself, and it breaks even more
to hear about what kind of man he was. His
advice, tip of the day, media deconstructions, along with Adam,
have helped me keep an open mind in what goes
on in the world we know, what to watch out
for with information presented in the news, and as always,
keep our amigdilas. small with his humor, hot takes, and
life stories. His deeds, actions, and words will not be
forgotten. Sincerely with much love and support, Sir Mama Boy
of the Arc Welders, Paul Lincolns, and Dame Rosie Posey,
Rose Lincolns. Please do not stop this podcast. It is
important for all of the reasons above. Mike E. Burnley,
St. Augustine, Florida. 105.35. No note. Craig Jones, 10535. Instead
of usual condolences, I wanted to share a memory of
JCD. In the mid-2010s, as a newly minted no-agenda baronet
in my mid-20s, I emailed John because I was convinced
I wanted a career in tech journalism and wanted advice
on how to break into the industry. Rather than ignore
my email, which would be understandable given how many emails
he must have been receiving, he replied. In fact, he
gave me his number and took the time to talk
with me. When I called, his advice was simple. Don't
do it. He said I'd... He said, I'd struggle to
make a living or find stable work. Soon afterward, many
major tech blogs, podcasts, and publications folded or downsized, and
he turned out to be absolutely right. That honest advice
helped change the course of my life. It led me
down a different path. One that ultimately brought me a
beautiful life and a beautiful wife. He may have helped
saved me from years of hardship. and I've never forgotten
his kindness or honesty. Rest in peace, John's... JCD. Now
you can taste wine, cook chili, and deconstruct the media
and complain about terrible writing all day long. Down here,
we'll miss you, Buzzkill. Is BT short for something? No?
Probably "Baronet," Dave. Oh, it could be "Baronet." Dave the
Reformed and Keeper Melissa. 105.35. I've been a fan of
JCD since 1995 when he got me with an April
Fool's article about how two-bit computing would take over. Right.
I remember that one. That was great. Yeah. Was I
ever so young? We'll sorely miss John's voice and the
way he kept our feet on the ground. BT, Dave
the Reformed, and Keeper Melissa. Sir Sam of Birdforshire, in...
105.35. I started disliking John for all his negativity in
Mac user, but have been a no agenda listener since
the early days. You're missed already, JCD. Hope you're up
there parting with Raven, Sir Sam of Bedforshire, and the
great, the river great Oos. Michael Lumpkins, 10534. Thank you,
John, for the years of incredible analysis, your apparent love
and commitment to the show, your sharp wit, your sexy
voice, and more importantly, your courage will be sorely missed.
Prayers to the Dvoraks, the Currys, and all of No
Agenda Nation. James Holliday, 10534. Thank you for your courage.
John Doyle, 104, 17. Yeah. Dear Adam, Mimi, and the
rest of the Dvorak and Noagenda extended family, in honor
of the great man himself, I will attempt to be
brief. Right. Yeah, come on, bud. Get real. First, I
was hit in the mouth by a Google podcast in
November of 2020 when in the dark depths of a
paranoid winter, I searched COVID conspiracies. There, and no agenda
was the top result. I felt the healing effects on
my amygdala from the first episode, and this bomb later
led me to setting up a monthly producer plan, despite
PayPal apparently deleting all activity prior to 2023. second, please
call out Google Podcasts as a douchebag, even though it
is bad. Even though it is bad form to speak
ill of the dead, no matter how much they deserved
it. I finally reached knighthood earlier this year, though it
has remained unclaimed until today. John and Adam have been
my constant companions on my daily 150-mile round-trip journey to
work these last five years, and JCD's irascible, sarcastic, deeply
knowledgeable, and always hilarious commentaries were one half of the
reasons I would willingly donate 20 hard-earned bucks to a
comedy podcast, quote unquote. To say I was surprised by
how sad I was upon hearing about JCD's passing is
an understatement. To affirm that this is the only podcast
I donate to is a measure of how much John
and Adam have meant to me over the years. I
only wish that my portion of the value for value
ratio was remotely equal to your side of the equation.
Please, knight me. Sir, not that John, knight of the
sweet old-fashioned. ribs from O. Denise and John C. Dvorak's
favorite Costco Cabernet Sauvignon at the round table. Please, Godspeed,
JCD, and blessings to all who loved you. He really

Miss you, John. Signed, no longer a douchebag. You've been
de-douched. Sir 3D from Osaka, Japan. ITM from Osaka to
JCD. I was barely 10 years old when I started
reading your PC magazine columns in Finland. I grew up
with computers with your commentary. Later, my critical thinking solidified
thanks to you and No Agenda. I learned so many
things from you like this. One time on the show,
you said there is a thing called Mission Burrito. I
finally visited San Francisco in May. and had a mission
burrito and it was great. No, it was great. Are
you kidding? It was great. During episode 1328 art critique
segment, you praised my work and said, this guy is
very funny. It is a highlight of my design career.
Thank you, JCD. Sir 3D. Kyle Schaefer, $100.88. John was
the prodigious prognosticator of all things tech and so much
more. What an icon. Praying that the peace of Christ,
which surpasses all understanding, would guard your hearts and minds

Miss JCD, Donnie Norris. Josh West from Fort Worth, Texas.
$100. Hey, Adam, I'm sorry for your loss. I will
be praying for the Lord guides you in the right
direction. John, I followed you since the tech TV days,
and I still can't believe you're gone. You've felt like
part of my family for decades. First. I want to
thank you for your career. Twit and your PC Magazine
articles were an early inspiration for me. When you were
no longer a regular on Twit, that was the first
time I felt a JCD void. Then I got the
first iPhone at lunch and started using iTunes where I
could search for podcasts. I still remember my first iTunes
search, John C. Dvorak. I had to fill the void,
man. That's when I found the No Agenda podcast and
my life has never been the same. I've been a
listener since episode one, pre-mouth hitting. Second, I want to
thank you for the years of hard work on No
Agenda. I feel like I knew you, even though we
never met. I could go on, but I'm trying to
keep this short. Thanks, bud. The void is real, and
I'm truly going to miss you. Thank you for the
huge contributions you made to my life. I'll be praying
for comfort over your family and direction to the No
Agenda show. Lucas Deaton from Oakwood, Ohio, $100, no note.
Josh Sewell, $100. I can never thank you guys enough
for helping me and my family navigate COVID and all
the other madness with a clear mind. We salute you,
JCD. You will be greatly missed. Prayers and love to
the DeLaborac family. Johnny Ogden from Utah. hundred dollars Oh,
yeah, Johnny from Ogden, Utah. There you go. If everyone
is more like JCD, the world would be a better
place. He has been the background voice to my life
for years, and I want to thank my friends Rodney
and Josh for introducing me to the show. My condolences
to Adam, JCD's family, and all the No Agenda listeners
as we all mourn together. Please de-douche me as I
will make my first donation towards knighthood. You've been de-douched.
I was waiting for my startup to take off one
day, but this one's for John. You may have a

you, JCD. Sir John of the Goodlands from Jefferson, Wisconsin.
Adam and Mimi, I'm very sorry for your loss of
John. As many have said, I never met the guy.
Go fuck yourself. the person who made Twit worth listening
to. I've been a fan of Adam's. And John, I
am an ex-genner who loved a Gen Xer who loved...
Keep on. Thank you. Viscount John of the Goodlands of
Wisconsin, a.k.a. John Noonan. Yeah. John Newton. Nick Vass from
New York, New York. $100. Dear Dvorak fan. Adam, I'm
so sorry for your loss. Please accept this small $100
donation. I'll try to keep this note short. I first
came across your show through a Google search, and No
Agenda was the top of the list back in 2018.
From the very first time I listened... me coming back
for more. Sorry Adam. There was something about the way
he shared what he knew, explained and deconstructed the news
and other topics and the stories he shared that really
drew me in. After that first episode, I knew I
haven't had the chance to listen to show 1888 yet,
but on Thursday night, 723, I had a dream about
the show. Oddly enough, in the dream, it had been
decided that the show would also include a live stream,
which made me laugh considering it was something John and
Adam had joked about just a few short shows ago
when poking fun at the formats of other podcasts. I
took it as a sign that it was time to
donate again, though I wish it were. better circumstances my
second thought was of the john donation jingle i guess
even from beyond john still has exit strategy and I
hope he continues to haunt the show. Again, please accept
my deepest condolences during this difficult time. No jingles and
all the karma and love to Adam and John's family.
necessarily Nick Vass. You've got karma. Eric Kistler. Wow, still
processing the news. John has been a fixture in my
life for over the years. My earliest memories of John
are when I was a nerdy kid. Thank you, JCD.
Sincerely, Eric Kessler. tuned in for the show on Thursday
night and saw the title, I could hardly believe what
I was reading. I am deeply saddened by his loss.
Today, I made my donation of $100. The memory of
John C. Dvorak. Yeah, my first donation in $100 in
honor of memory of J.C. Dvorak. Let's de-douche him. You've
been de-douched. As an engineering graduate in 1981 who participated
in the early days of PCs, I always felt John
was a kindred soul, especially where he would rattle off
familiar chiptune. I began listening to No Agenda in 2020
as I welcomed relief in a sea of insanity, and
I have been a weekly listener ever since. You have
been my go-to podcast to make sense of the world
and the craziness of the past five years. My condolences
to the Dvorak family and to Adam for your loss.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual
light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy
of God, rest in peace. Amen. Amen. Adam, you were
blessed with a good friend. a sturdier shelter, he who
finds one finds a treasure. ITM, John Lance. Steve Shoemaker,

listening to you throughout the years and will miss your
witty and insightful banner. May you rest in peace from

I could hear was John's spooky donate jingle. You're haunted.

no note. Eric. Hewitson. Dear John, I came for the
media deconstruction, but stayed for your life stories, your dry
humor, and the unique perspective of your life. to every
conversation. Over time, you became more than just a voice
on a podcast. You became someone whose opinions and views
I look forward to hearing once a week. Now my
ex-husband, my now ex-husband, hit me in the mouth numerous
times during a... But it wasn't until COVID that No
Agenda's perspective on... current events truly resonated with me. The
show taught me to question what I was being told,
look deeper and think critically while you're in it. skepticism,
humor, and narratives shape I want you to know that
you have had a profound and positive impact on me.
I am eternally grateful. God bless you, your family, and
Adam. May you rest in peace. I fell for my
share of $100. when I got to know that JCD
will no longer be on the air, you'll be deeply
missed. I remember that, yeah. I remember. Delaware? Delaware. Yeah,
that's Delaware. 188 and 189 in memory of JCD. Need

I am a pre-COVID listener. John and Adam, you have
impacted my life more than you will ever know. My
heart is broken at the loss of John. Whenever I
hear interesting world events, I always catch myself telling my
wife, I wonder what John and Adam will say about
this. Forgive me, John, for never donating while you were
here. I wanted to extend my deepest condolences and real
prayers to the Dvoraks and Curries. The Lord is close
to the... and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Rest in peace, JCD. For someone I didn't know, this
hits hard. Prayers for Mimi and family. The one who
made fun of your name, but okay. Laser Crafters, LLC,
Plano, Texas. Plano taxes? I think that's funnier. No, no,
no. I don't... I started following John when I began
working for Dick in 1981. He's a boomer like me.
He had such a sharp wit and I always enjoyed
when he was picking on Microsoft, IBM, and Apple. I
heard about the No Agenda show just as Trump 1.0
was ramping up and saw that JCD was co-host with
Adam Curry. My reaction was John should be really interesting
to listen to. However... What's he doing with an MTV
VJ as a partner? The first two shows were interesting
and entertaining, but I was so confused. 33, .33, Rebelizer,
Dames, Nice, V for V. What is this madness? Is
this a cult? I sent John and Adam a copy
of the Edge lit signs. I started making using the
show art. I put a donation check in the box
with John's, but never got a mention. I assumed that
the check was lost or thrown away. So I re-sent
another check with a new note. And of course, John
said it was my fault. Yes. He'll be missed but
not forgotten. Rest in peace, JCD. Laser Crafters, LLC. Jasper...

I will miss your media deconstruction, JCD. Rest in peace

$94.82. John will be missed. We have learned a lot
from John over the years. Raina and Simon from Patterson,
New Jersey. Carl Young. $94.82. I did it to what
everyone else has said. I love that. I can say
it no better. But also this, I wish every listener
of the podcast knew how good it feels to be
a sustaining donor microproducer. It's not much, but it's always
there every month and it always will be. We are
past the halfway point. Shall I take it over here?
Stephen Newell, Great Mills, Maryland, 94-71. Sad. JCD has been
my life since I was a teenager. First time donor.
You've been de-douched. American living in Ottawa, graduated USNA in
1989, the inspiration for an 89 donation with fees. RIP
JCD, you will be missed. Dame Cindy of the Tito's
in Carmel, Indiana, 9374. Buzzkill would be missed by all
of us in the Noah generation. His unique ability to
find the bull crap was second to none. Prayers and
condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families. JCD will be
missed deeply, sincerely. Dame Cindy of the Tito's. Danny Hall,
9365. His wit and wisdom, and he was a lovely
grouch. Zach of Burien 9365. Hello, friends. To be honest,
we are devastated. I made a donation on my behalf,
and my younger daughter made a donation and sent a
note in on her behalf. This is a note that
covers the rest of the family that chipped in to
a third donation so they could all send their prayers
and comfort to John and Adam's families. Nehemiah, Hadassah, Lauren,
and Samuel. Nice biblical names. I do have another son
named Jonah. Hello. Who was a douchebag. Well, douchebag. But
he was very eager to give his condolences. I think
he gets a douchebag now. You've been de-douche. I'm not
buying it. JCD. You have to say it shortly, succinctly,
and with no inflection in the voice. Zach of Burium.
Mason Strong, 93-65, talked about promise software, and they got
John with the pricker. We did talk about that. Wow.
Todd Wall, that's horrible. Todd Wallace, 93.65. I've been listening
forever and got me through the Obama years, COVID, Biden,
and the second term for Trump without you guys cutting
through the M5M BS. Thank you, and we'll miss Buzzkill
and his insights and humor. God bless. Frederick Dittman, 93-65,
feels like I lost a friend and I will forever
miss that laugh of his and the butchering of names
and sketchy Dutch pronunciations. Godspeed, JCD. My sincere condolences to
Mimi and the entire Dvorak family. God bless you all.
Mark and Andrea Johnson, 93, 65. JCD and Adam have
meant so much to us throughout the years. My wife,
Andrea, especially credits JCD's humor with helping her get through
COVID. We are praying for Mimi and the entire Dvorak
family in this time of loss. Thank you for sharing
John with us for six hours a week for nearly
20 years. Mark and Andrea Johnson, Newburgh, Oregon. Joss Edwards,
93, 65. In the morning, Adam and the Nohagen family,
long-time listener, first-time donor, and self-admitted douchebag here. This is
my first donation of $88.89 plus fees made in lovering
memory of our beloved Buzzkill. You've been deduced. Special thanks
to my friend Nigel for hitting me in the mouth
and introducing me to the show during the peak of
COVID insanity. That was the start of a run I
haven't stopped since. John's passing hit me harder than I
expected. His cranky wisdom and sharp insights trained me to
question everything. It made me a clearer thinking, and for
that, I'm forever grateful. I sincerely admire the grace and
strength you've shown, and my heart aches for the grief
you and John's family are carrying. I take great comfort
in God's sovereignty and kindness, trusting that he knows exactly
what we need and will be with you all in
this season. Much love, Josh Edwards, 33-year-old from Columbus, Ohio.
Tori Allman, 9365. Always enjoyed his input and things and
banter with Adam. We'll miss hearing his opinions. Prayers for
the family. Uhhhh... Ruard, Ruard, Ruardy, Ruardy, Campbell, sorry, 9364.
May the vinegar book forever remain unfinished. We love you,
John. Too late. Yeah, too late. It's happening. Lori Poole,
9364. Hello, reaching out from Pawleys Island, South Carolina. I've
listened to Noah Jenner for a few years now, started
during COVID, and it's my favorite podcast. This is my
first donation, sorry, I'm a slacker. No, that's a douchebag.
Of 8888 sent via Vemo in memory of John, de-douching.
You've been de-douched. I will miss him very much. His
humor, his laugh, and his tip of the day. I
actually purchased the knife he recommended last fall. Much love
to his family, to Adam, all the listeners. He will
be missed. Also, congratulations on your new granddaughter, Adam. Thank
you. Side note, Adam, when you first announced on Twitter,
X, a few years ago that you were baptized, I
thought you were hacked and it was a joke. So
glad it was real and you found Jesus. From the
shores of South Kakalaki, Lori Poole. Thank you. Justin Van
Tassel, Whitney Point, New York, 9364, and Anne Graff, 9364,
and Taylor Matthews, 9364. No note, but thank you. Sir
Digi, Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, 9364. His peace has surely found
you. Love to your family. I wish we had met
in this life, but I look forward to your wit
in the next. Thank you for your courage. Dennis Prziklink,
9364. Thank you for your service. John, condolences to the
Dvorak family, Adam, and the whole No Agenda sphere. George
Semple, 9364. We'll miss you, John. We're praying for your
family. Josh Mickey or Mikey, 93-64. In 2015, my buddy
told me this podcast he found called No Agenda. When
he told me the names of the hosts, Adam Curry
and John C. Dvorak, I looked at him bewildered.
The Adam Curry from MTV and John C. DeVore from
PC Magazine. My world was rocked. I could have never
imagined a more dynamic duo. I knew Adam from his
MTV days. In the early 2000s, I subscribed to PC
Magazine where I was first introduced to JCD and his
editorial column. I was new to tech. I look forward
to each month to reading his column and may have
subscribed to an email newsletter. When I began listening in
2015 to No Agenda, I was fresh coming out of
a health crisis and needed a distraction to get well.
Enter No Agenda. I found it at first to be
like a morning zoo, but like John's columns, I look
forward to the shows on Thursday and Sundays. JCD's dry
wit and his humor, and more importantly, his authenticity in
who he is was always an attraction to me. I
will miss him, and not only him, but the dynamic
that Adam and John bring to the No Agenda community.
Even when you know the days are limited here on
Earth and just as well, the No Agenda podcast, nothing
can prepare anyone for this moment. My love and prayers
to Mimi and the rest of the Dvorak family. Love
and prayers to the Curry family and Horowitz family as
well. It's a beautiful thing to see a life that
touched millions in the morning and God's blessings to all.
Joshua Mickey, Fargo, North Dakota. Andrew Hua, Cincinnati, Ohio, 9364.
Thank you. No note. Ben from Gladstone Park, Victoria, Australia.
Rest in peace, JCD. You will be greatly missed. Thank
you and Adam for all you have done. Condolences from
Ben in Gladstone Park, Victoria, Australia. Michael McInnes, 9364. Rest
in peace, JCD. Aaron Chamberlain, 9364. Yes, it was shameless.
wasn't a guess. Once I hooked into no agenda, I
really got to know John. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the
jokes, classic stories like torching ants and fisting nuts, crankiness,
wit and insights, one-liners, Confucius sayings, oh yeah, grousing, moaning,
complaining, jabs at Adam, talks of the forever vinegar book,
speaking highly about his family and sharing the dynamic, being
honest and forward about thoughts and opinions, indirectly teaching how
to listen and critically think about what you hear. Infectious
laugh when you get rolling, his phrase from the Shays,
the three by threes, his hilarious and quite inaccurate imitation
of Mimi, his pet peeves, rants, and not a great
questions, and so many other things that I will forever
cherish and will dearly miss. I never got the opportunity
to meet John. I've only had one or two correspondence
through email. But I've never cared that much for those
kinds of things. His legacy has made an impact on
me regardless. Because of him, we've also gotten to know
the great woman behind every man, Mimi. We can't imagine
everything you and family are going through, but we love
you guys as much as we love John in my
prayers and thinking of you guys. Michael Cross, 93, 64.
John will be dearly missed. For more than four decades,
he was part of so many lives through his writing
and broadcasting. His wit and humor were unmatched. Condolences to
Mimi, his kids, and grandkids, everyone who knew and loved
him. These are actually 8888, so I'll just stop mentioning
the number. It's plus the fees. Thank you. Jake counts.
Excuse me. Rest in peace, JCD. Your authentic take on
the world left us with one saving grace. We can
all imagine that JCD would say to all of silly
Con Valley press releases and M5M, it's a scam. Thank
you to my neighbor Ryan for hitting me in the
mouth 10 years ago. Thank you for your courage. David
Druffner. Prayers for Mimi, John, Mimi, and the family. Loved
John's takes in PC Magazine in the 80s. Was delighted
to find him on Twitch. Then no agenda and got
a double delight discovering Curry again. Much respect for his
independence. Orange man bad JCD jingle. Yes. Chris Bro. B-R-E-I-U-X.
Thanks, JCD. You left the world better than you found
it. From Chris and Angela in Sour Lake, Texas. Please
say you after Sour Lake, just like... Jim Andrinacos. We
love you, JCD. May the Lord have mercy on his
servant. Stephen Corbine. Thank you, Stephen. No note. Alexandra Miller.
Our heartfelt condolences to John's family and the No Agenda
family. You're in our thoughts, sending love and gratitude. His
voice will be deeply missed. No note from Jeffrey Anderson.
Thank you. Michael Arabinko. Condolences to the Dvorak and No
Agenda families, although John and I never met. I lost
a friend. Natalie Taylor, Lebanon, Taylor, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. So sad
to hear about John's passing. Been listening to No Agenda
for about 16 years. Heard the news right before bed
and couldn't sleep a wink. John was a favorite. Deepest
condolences to Adam, Andrew, Tina, Mimi, and family. So let's
give you a break. Thank you. Is JC there? He's
probably in the troll room, trolling the trolls. I'm here.
I'm here. Okay. So... We left off. The number is...

296. 296, 298. Going once, going twice. Which one is
it? 296. 298. 298. 298. Robert, write it. 93.64 cents.
JCD, thanks for all of the value you created over
the years. You'll be missed. My thoughts are with Adam
and your family. I read your work in the 80s
and started listening to No Agenda in 2013. I'll continue
to be a monthly donor. So you don't have to
worry about the number. We all know what they are.
skip that part. But the number for it's fun. Okay,
fine. Dame Rebecca Pinehurst. Pinehurst, home of American golf. All

family and Adam Curry. Lifting up in prayer during this
time for grace and healing. Dame Rebecca of Pinehurst. I'll

I loved it every time he tried to get away
with cracking a seltzer open on air like Adam couldn't
hear it. Mike Straub is still a douchebag. Arno. ITM,
Mimi and Adam. In honor of John, this is an
88-88 donation. Condolences to Mimi, their children, other family and
friends. Together with Adam, he was the best podcaster in
the universe. Raw Aguilera. I started listening in 2020 when
I heard Brett Vanoet talking about it on the School
Sucks podcast. I fell in love with the show. I
love John and was devastated to hear this. Thank you
for everything, John, and condolences to Mimi and Adam. and
peace. Ditch Walker. Love and light, JCD. I had read
the newsletter three times before it somewhat sunk in. But
thank you for all you have done and that your
legacy will continue to do in the No Agenda community
and the world that matters. R.I.P. Ditchwalker. Richard Crabtree, no

You will be missed. Peace and love to all you
have touched with your wit and wisdom. Eric Hulse. Katy,

met him, but despite that, I feel like I knew
him. I'll truly miss his voice every week, and I'm
praying for Adam and the family. Ryan Hasselhorst. No, no.

be missed jcd3 William Galt. Dvarak is giving me guilt.
I hear his ghostly donate and feel his hand reaching
down from above, even in the afterlife. John is working
hard for the show and his family. Relax well, John.
I know you won't rest. Though he's mostly just been
giving us technical difficulties. So he's mostly just, he's just
mostly pranking. Yeah. Yeah. That's John. Alex Wenka. Rest in

Robert Ballard, No Note. Andy Wyatt, thank you for your
service. Anonymous. 8888 is the angel number meaning abundance, prosperity,
and positive transformations are entering your life. Thank you for
everything you do and my heart goes out to everyone
in the No Agenda family during this sad time. Jason
Michalowski, Duluth, Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota. I remember these things from
grade school. Sure you do. I never worked as a
postal worker. I thought this was a sad puppy's ploy.
Didn't believe it. Now I can't believe it. You're my
go-to listen at the gym. Other meatheads are lifting to
death metal or gangster rap. I'm giggling like half a
retard to the greatest podcast in the universe. You're that
guy on the Stairmaster. Kristen Hanlon. Listening for a little
less than a year, this Gen Xer has grown so
fond of the No-Genda, I struggle to imagine how this

You know that? Uh, uh, uh, uh, Australia. The ACT.
Anonymous. Sarah in South London. Hearing John chuckle in the
show always made me chuckle, even if I didn't get
the joke. I will really miss John. Prayers and blessings
to his family and Adam from Sarah in South London.
Thank you, Sarah. Joel Cox in Indianola. Pennsylvania. Thank you.
Uh, I... I started watching John on Silicon Spin, then
followed him to Cranky Geeks and Twit. When No Agenda
began, I was there for episode one. I was laid
off in June 2014 and fell away from the show
for a while, but I returned in November 2015. Since
then, No Agenda has been my North Star for sanity.
For years, I tried to hit people in the mouth.
Sadly, I was only successful once, but they fell overboard.
The combined wisdom and experience of John and Adam never
ceased to amaze me. I always wished John would write
a book filled with all his stories. They were incredible,
and John was always so insightful. I'll miss him forever.
Thank you. Throughout episode 1888, I found myself close to
tears several times. I lost my dad on March 5th
of this year while driving to dinner that night. I
started listening to No Agenda and immediately noticed that the
introduction was different. Then I heard the news that John
was in the hospital. I was so relieved that he
recovered. On Wednesday afternoon, I received a newsletter. I initially
thought this subject line had to be clickbait. I could
not believe it was real. The world will never be
the same without John. For the past year, I had
been listening to the show live and then listening to
it all over again afterward. John's voice, stories, wisdom, and
humor became part of the rhythm of my life. I'll
forever miss John. P.S. I know the city says Indianola
on PayPal, but I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Okay. Good
to know. Joel Cox. I don't remember any of the
military code words. Kilo Charlie 3 Lima Victor Golf. There
we go. Long time listener, 73. Jeffrey McAdoo! No, no.
Mark LeClair. I started listening after Adam was on the
Glenn Beck show the first Christmas after COVID. Working the
holidays at UPS. The show got me through the 10,
12-hour workdays. I loved hearing John's anecdote about the tech
industry, wine, publishing, etc. Heart. Daniel Pritchett. I'm sad that
our favorite Puzzkill has left us behind. I'm confident that
the Podfather and the wonderful No Agenda producers will keep
the show going strong. I'll be blasting classical music to
keep the varmints away in John's honor. Myers. It's tough
to think of a favorite memory of JCD among the
600 plus episodes I've heard. So I'll just stick to
something from my favorite person. When John had his heart
attack, I told my wife and showed her the picture
in the newsletter. She instantly replied, aw, he's so cute.
I'm sure he'd love that. Love, thoughts, and prayers from
the Myers family. Alex. Ivan, Jacqueline, and Kennedy to all.
Sent from a phone that would be better off in
a drawer. Sir Waldo, in the morning, in memory of
JCD, who I read in PCMag in the 80s, watched
on CDTV in the 90s, and listened on my first
MP3 player in the 05s on Twit, then No Agenda.
Thanks for the memories. Sir Waldo of the Lake, Lower
Alabama, exec producer, episode 1500. Spencer Christian. John was one
of those rare voices who could hear the hidden manipulation
inside the M5M linguistic mastery. He had an extraordinary ability
to stop a clip, pull apart the framing, buzzwords, and
manufacture narratives and reveal the spell they were trying to
cast. I always found his sharpness fascinating, not simply because
he was skeptical, but because his skepticism was informed by
deep knowledge, long experience, and willingness to say what others
might overlook. He understood. Technology, media, and the business forces
behind both. He was never intimidated by consensus. He will
be dearly missed. Aloha, Spencer. Ashley Williams, no note. David
Kelly, Dublin. I will miss John, especially his sense of
humor. I can still clearly remember laughing my ass off
when he started announcing the girls like Raven and No
Agenda Club 33. Thinking of Mimi, the Dvorak family, and
Adam. Rest in peace. JCD. Paul Tittle. John C. Dvorak,
in my opinion, will go down as one of the
best broadcasters of all time. Listening to him and Adam
on air was a distinct privilege of our time, and
I tried my best not to take it for granted,
because even the best things aren't forever. Three. Bethany Elliott.
Adam, I'm deeply saddened to hear of John's passing. My
heart goes out to the Dvorak family. Losing the family
patriarch is incredibly painful. However, it can also bring the
family together in a different dynamic. This includes the No
Agenda family. Although I don't think John would have liked
me personally, I liked him. And I always look forward
to listening, listening, and laughing. He didn't like anybody. Come
on. No, really. He would have liked the briefness of
your note. Yes. Thank you for your courage. Yours truly,
Beth. Isaac Boyney. Thank you for your courage, JCD. No
agenda has been the voice of sanity for me. Filling
the void that was left with Rush's passing. John's loss
feels very similar. I pray that you find the strength
to continue because the world needs you, Adam. ITM. Alex
Bell. May his courage be eternal and his thank yous
never cease. Frank? Chia Petta. Chia Petta in Carpentersville, Illinois.
I'm going to miss John's humor, his laugh, the vast
knowledge he brought from the wide range of experiences accumulated
throughout the awesome life he lived. Prayers to his family
and Adam. Our peace. RIP, JCD. Dave Clark. Dear Adam,
Keeper, Mimi, and the family. Like so many others, this
week has not only left me gutted at John's passing,
but curious as to how someone I haven't personally met
could have meant so much and left such a void.
I'll leave this short out of respect for John's liking
of short notes, but please see the attached clip of
John's shout-out to me during a donation segment, as it's
one of my most happy moments of my life. Prayers
for you all. Dave Clark, a.k.a. The Unknown Knight, also
the broke air traffic controller. Yes. We have a lot
of air traffic controllers who listen to this show, and
it's appreciated. Sir Fatigued Coder of Knoxville, Tennessee. IT morning.
Punctuality has never been my strong suit. As a teen,
when I arrived at my grandfather's house well after I
was supposed to, he said, well, if it isn't the
late Daniel Summers. My two and a half decades in
the Air Force made that a bit better, but I
still struggle. Thank you for your second chance for a
tribute. Well, before that teenage incident, I had magazines with
John's writing. Throughout his career, he brought a unique perspective.
His skepticism was rooted in his ability to see through
a marketing bull crap and his ever-expanding knowledge. It's a
skill I've tried to learn and emulate throughout my career.
My prayers have been twofold. Gratitude for all I learned
from John and the laughs he provided, and peace for
Mimi and his family, Adam and Tina, and no agendination.
RIP, JCD, Sir Fatigued Coder. Easy Landscapes. Greetings from North
Stonington, Connecticut. I was never planning to email or contact
your show as I believe the value for your value
system. My business, Easy Landscapes, has been doing the $50
monthly donation thing since 2021. I stumbled upon you during
COVID and my business partner and I love listening and
talking about the show. I started my Friday as usual
downloading your podcast and heading out to mow lawns. I
had no knowledge that GCD had passed, so by 9
a.m., I was blubbering like a baby after Adam's intro.
Of course, hearing Mimi warmed my heart and listening to
the Value for Value producers emailing their thoughts and prayers.
As I'm writing this, I'm tearing up because everyone hit
every feeling I went through all day. Adam, your words
were beautiful. Mimi, thank you for sharing that he passed
quickly and without pain. It's amazing the impact an individual
whom you've never met has made upon you for the
No Agenda show has done just that. made me part
of a larger family. May God bless you, and my
thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. Disabled
veteran, small business owner, married, father of two. With much
gratitude, Eric. Charles George, no note. Sir Lefant. Um, I'm
so sad and sorry for everyone. lose, but I am
also equally as grateful that I got hit in the
mouth and I got to enjoy John's voice in my
ear for six hours a week for years. You're going
to be truly missed, my friend, truly missed. Thank you
for being such a good human. R.I.P. Buzzkill. Black Knight.
C'est la France. Gary Marquardt. Marquardt? Yeah, you name it.
Marquardt. Yeah. No, no. Nicole Iovan, 8888 for all the
JCD value and for the reminder.
recent weeks that the most simple explanation is probably the
most likely. Carrie Meeks, no note. Jeanette Boer. Dear John,
because of you and Adam, I have stopped following the
news 15 years ago. It brings me so much peace,
and I owe you both so much. Thank you for
all the insights you never see or hear on MSM.
So many beautiful words are already spoken, so I keep
it short the way John liked. My heart goes out
to Mimi, the children, and grandchildren, friends, and of course
you, Adam. Rest in peace, John. Love from the Netherlands.
Je ne t'pour. From Bentello Overijssel. Overijssel. Bentello Overijssel, yes.
Overijssel. How did you not know that, Brendan? Overijssel. It's
so easy. It's so obvious. Is J a Y sound
in Dutch? Adam, please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. Yes,
Brendan. The I-J is an I. Overijssel. Over the aysel.
Yes. Got it. Yeah, and it's like it's a double
S. Of course. Over the aysel. It's over the aysel.
I can't believe I speak that language, honestly. Yes. It's
kind of impressive. Much less give a shit about it.
I care. Mark Malin, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. No note. Merek
Klaudik, every time I drive John and Adam sitting in
the car with me, I have this parasocial relationship with
the two father figures, listening, them talking, arguing, and then
we laugh together. Thank you for your decades of entertainment
and knowledge you shared. April Kyle from Carmel, Indiana. I
was hit in the mouth by Dame Cindy of the
Tito's about four years ago, and I have been listening
with On My Morning Walks day after show ever since.
I have learned so much from John and Adam. appreciate
their take on all things around the world. It has
truly kept me sane in this totally insane world. I
especially enjoyed their entertaining banter. JCD is the second person
in less than a year that I have cried for
that I have never met. I've started a $3.33 monthly
donation in his honor. Thank you for all of you.
Mimi, family, and Adam are in my thoughts. R.I.P. April
Kyle from Carmel. Sir Denonymous. I think that's what it
says. Denonymous, yes. Denonymous. Got it. John's stories made me
laugh out loud, which got me some strange looks while
listening on the train. From ants peeing on people to
the pranks. Not many people can say they had such
an impact on so many lives. Rest in peace, John.
Sir Denonymous. And Sir Denonymous, we thank him because he
was the brains and the muscle and the hardware and
software behind BingIt.io. AHHHHHH Which has helped a lot. He's
allowed to make laugh on the train. Yes, of course.
Brian Yount. In 53 years, JCD is the second public
figure I've cried for. His voice was a regular part
of my life, and his wealth of stories and insights
amazed and amused me. I know he'd want the show
to soldier on, as we need community now more than
ever. God bless. Andrew Lentfer Long live the memory of
John C. Dvorak, where the C stands for Crusader of
Truth and calling out the bull crap. I just want
John's family to know that he had an immeasurably positive
influence on my life, and they should be proud to
call him kin. This week has been dark, but the
world is brighter from John's shining example. Love from the
high desert. James and Deborah from Trimble, Missouri. The only
note is... John will be missed by my husband and
I. He and Adam have been part of our lives
for about 15 years. found DH Unplugged a couple years
ago. John's humor was one of a kind. We are
sorry for your loss and we're keeping your family in
our prayers. James and Debra. Tyler of the Wailing City.
I finally realized the value I received from this show
when I shed some tears hearing of JCD's passing. My
condolences to the Dvorak family and to you, Adam, during
this time. Hopefully eternity allows you to still grouse, JCD.
I'm sure of it. Tyler of the Wailing City. Jason
Carver. Rest in peace, JCD. We'll be greatly missed. John
would have approved of that short note. David Overbeck, Brooksfield,
Wisconsin. Watch John on tech TV. Watch Twit with John.
Watch Cranky Geeks. Watch the Tech Brouch. Enjoyed No Agenda
since 2009. Listen through all of the milestones of life,
going to Ms. John's honesty and perspective. Rest in peace,
JCD. You are a real one. Christian Berrigan. Name is
pronounced like the Christian religion. I think I got that
right. Burigin. Burigin. You got close. Oh, bear shit. Oh.
Christian Berrigan. Okay. This is my first large donation amount,
so please de-douche. You've been de-douched. Russ Allen hit me
in the mouth during the COVID shutdowns. Adam, you and
John kept me sane. That insanity and for that I'm
forever grateful. Thanks to John. Now and then, I keep
my phone in a drawer and turned off. I also
hit my husband in the mouth pretty hard, and he
started from episode one last year. But the punch to
the gut was knowing that John passed on... On my
birthday? Oh. It's a blessing in disguise and away now.
We're forever thankful we gave our time to John and
your wisdom and we'll continue to do so through the
archive. I'd also like to share that I'm doing a
novena prayer for John. Adam and Mimi and family, we
love you and you're in our prayers too. God bless
you. Randy O'Rourke. I was deeply saddened to hear the
news of John's passing this morning. Although I never had
the pleasure of meeting him in person, I felt as
though I knew him through listening to his stories and
insights over the last 16 years. He will be greatly
missed. Please know that I am praying for Mimi and
the rest of the family, as well as for you
and Tina during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Randy
O'Rourke. Stephanie Lucek? Lucek. Lucek. We are so sad. We
will miss hearing John's voice. Dave? Shawana Beck. What the
ultimate buzzkill. First in peace, Sean. Thank you for the
words of wisdom, insightful tips, great humor, and honest opinions.
You'll be missed by many. Sir Pent, Sharon, Massachusetts. The
world is a little colder now. I first saw John
when I was eight years old on tech TV and
had his voice in my ear for hours every week
since 2021. Words cannot express how much we will miss
him. I pray for him and for all the No
Agenda family. Serpent88888888 Jason Larson, ITM. Listen to episode 1887
a second time. JCD actually had the best exit strategy
ever. Great last episode as always, Tech Grouch. We all
hope to go doing what we loved. P.S. I need
a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Black Mountain, North Carolina. Dear
Adam and Mimi. Attached is a phone recording of the
Mount Mitchell. 6600 Weekly Amateur Radio Net. Time of recording,
Saturday, July 25th, 2026. I don't have the recording, so
that's fine. Since this call signed... I don't know how
to do call signs, Adam. Kilo Juliet 6 Lima November

Renewed in November 2022. I felt it appropriate to give
him a last call. Okay, I can't read this one
anymore. JC or Adam. It's a tradition for amateurs who
pass away and are now silent. SK, silent key. Yeah.
so kind, Adam, as to de-douche me. My family continues
to pray for John's family and friends. ITM and 73s.
So first de-douche him and then Adam has to read
this stupid kilo. It's kilo mic for... You got it.
Keep going. Keep going. You can do it. You got

you for your service. KM4FLG, back to net control. There

Mountains. Okay, I have to blow my nose. Excuse me.
Well, I can jump in with some... Go ahead, JC.
No, just go ahead. What row are we on? 375.
375. I also wanted to point out something kind of
wacky. 1887 was when the Dvoraks first arrived in the
U.S. When they moved to Minneapolis, Jacob Dvorak was a
sewer worker. Well, that makes lots of sense. Okay, JC,
go ahead. All right, all right. That's why you attracted
so many ants. Yes. All right. Sir Paul from Twinkenham,
Great Britain. For 15 years, no agenda has brought me
laughter, insight, and a sense of community. The news of
John's passing made me sad beyond belief, and I will
greatly miss his humor, grouchy comments, and soothing voice. Love,
prayer, Sir Paul from Twinkenham. Ray Jacobson. Best critical thinker
ever. Mr. Keck. Mickey Keck. Mickey Keck. Mickey Keck. Nothing.
No, no. Anna Reichard. When I first met my now
husband, I was a raging liberal minus the blue hair
and TikTok grants. As a test, he tasked me to
listen to No Agenda in 2022. Immediately, I was hooked
and began to shrink my amygdala. Simply put, this podcast
changed my life. It made me laugh when the world
felt so hopeless. It made me question when the media
told me what to think. Thank you, John, for every
Thursday and Sunday for the last four years. I've never
been so grateful to someone I've never met. Another life
saved. Yes. Ness Works in Seattle. I lost my father
in 2017. Best to be hit in the mouth by
my close friend during the COVID era, I gravitate to
YouTube dudes every Thursday and Sunday. I threw my hat
into the ring of art submissions hoping to add value
for value. As an art contributor, I appreciate it and
respect it, and was inspired by John's analysis and critiques
of weekly art submissions. Adam, as you know, when I
sent y'all the funny video of your amazing hair that
I captured off of an old VHS tape from the
89 MTV Awards, John's reply back was, check the calendar.
I had tears of laughter. Now I have tears of
sorrow knowing how much we're all going to miss him.
Prayer and loves, Nessworks. Yeah, Nessworks has done a lot
of art for us. Dr. Junonymous. My buzz has been
killed with love, Dr. Junonymous. Sean Murray, thank you for
everything, my friend. I miss you already. George Rosansky. Bless
me, Podfather, for I have sinned. This is unfortunately my
long overdue first donation. For JCD, thank you for the
memories. Blessings to all the family and friends and trolls.
Keep on keeping on. You've been de-douched. Lacey Classic Decor.
I am heartbroken. You'll be missed. My God, wrap his
healing hands around your family and friends. Mark Hall. Oh,
Mark, our official documentarian. Deeply saddened when I heard of
JCD's death a few days ago. Learned a lot from
him. Greatly valued. Release the vinegar book. The Republic needs
it. It does. John, you will be remembered. Lydia Terry.
Cadelises and prayers to the Dvorak family. Suit and tie

of the... Oh, yeah. We're $90 now. Thank you. Yeah,
we're now at $90. $90. Suit and tie guy in
Chillicothe, Illinois. I'll keep this short because I posted a
long thing and great photos from the February Oakland meetup
on Twitter and Instagram and you are going to be
swamped. When I met John this year, I was too
stressed to ask him what it was like to work
with Jared Taylor back in the 80s. That lore is
lost to the cosmos. People, you need to remember you
might not ever get a second chance. They are here
and then they are not. Always remember the last time
you see someone might be the last and treat them
with that respect. My sincerest condolences to the Dvorak and
Curry families and whoever actually knew them. Thank you for
everything. Randy Lambert, Lafayette, Louisiana. 89-19, or 89-12, rather. Oh,
first let me express my sympathy and sorrow for all
y'all's loss. I have been an avid listener for four
years. Joe Rogan sent me. Ha ha. First time donating
to the show? Sucks it had to be under these
circumstances. Can't imagine how it is to lose someone so
special as he was that I have known for so
long. I'll keep you all on my thoughts and prayers.
No need to read this on air. Well, too late.
If you don't want. My own selfishness hopes the show
goes on as it's one of the few things I
have to look forward to. Whatever the good Lord has
planned, your brother in Christ, Randy. You've been de-douched. in
Roanoke, Virginia. Dear Adam and Mimi, we achieved our layaway
night in Dame Hood last February, right around the time
of John's surgery. Instead of claiming it right away, we
decided to reserve it to celebrate our 30th anniversary, also
on 8-8. It feels a little hollow now with John's
passing. Brian has been a loyal follower since 2010 after
hearing John promote the show on Twit. Becca came around
a bit later, around 2012. You've been in constant twice-a-week
listen, inspiring many of our nine kids to repeat the
jingles. Wow. Becca has often called John her spirit animal,
as they've lost track of the numerous times that she
directs some story only to have John repeat the exact
same comment moments later. Poor Brian. Since all of our
donations have been under the $50 threshold, we both need
a dedouching. Brian requests to be named Sir Brian, Knight
of Dross Del Nock. He'd like Kurgle's pickled bologna and
Renard's squeaky cheese at the round table. Becca requests to
be named Dame Contrarian, Seeker of Truth, and would like
Cattleman's Steak and Donuts for the roundtable. If jingles are
permitted, we'd like Drone Again and some R2-D2 Karma. It
feels like we've lost a dear family friend, Knoltses to
Dvoraks, Adams, and everyone that John's life touched. Prayers for
everyone. You've been de-douched. Hold on, we gotta do one
more. You've been de-douched. Starwood in the Heartland, $88.89. JCD
wouldn't want us to stand on ceremony. A great man
who helped many see through the bullshit veil presented to
us. You'll be missed, oh cranky geek. Surface tension. Sean
Stedman, a.k.a. Surface Tension, Vero Beach, Florida. Goodbye, Uncle John.
Thank you for putting the C's in connection as protection.
Love and light to everyone in the Gitmo Nation. Onward.
Emily Allman, 88, 89. Jay Do- Do-karty. Do-karty? Dockarty. Dockarty.
Dockarty. Dockarty. Dockarty. 88, 89. I started listening to No
Agenda in 2009. Prior to that, I was a big
fan of John's Cranky Geeks. And prior to that, I
always enjoyed his naysayers coverage of the various tech expos.
John was right. No one uses a mouse anymore. We
love you, John. Rest well. Justin Ardenaux, 8889, no note.
These are all 8889, I suspect. William Link, Dave from
Biera, some of the best pipes ever. thoroughly enjoyed him
casually changing the subject when he was uninterested in Adam's
content being presented. Yeah, I enjoyed that so much. Prank
for JCD's family and Adam during your time of loss.
Gone but never forgotten, JCD. Justin Kaler. I came for
Adam Curry, stayed for both. I had never heard of
JCD before No Agenda, but I am extremely grateful for
finding him through this podcast. COVID, wars, or whatever the
media spewed, JCD was there to buzzkill him. Rest in
peace, buzzkill. Sir Justin of the Parlor City. Sir Recalcitrant
Crazy Steve II and Dame Dream Girl Rose. Thank you
for letting me host JCD for our meetups every couple
of months since October 2023. I would have started there
sooner, but I initially believed I need to be a
knight to properly host. Boy, was I wrong. I probably
could have gotten away with being a douchebag and hosted
one. I listened to my first... Yes. Yeah, please. See,
everyone can host. Anyone. Yeah. I listened to my first
full episode of No Gender during the episode 1300 celebration
in the middle of COVID, and I was instantly converted
by all the common sense that was entering my ears.
I later met John at my first meetup I ever
attended in San Francisco at the New Belgium Brewery on
May 15th, 2021. After that, I attended meetups hosted by
Baron Captain Luke in Noe Valley.
hoping John would return, but he never did. I decided
to start meetups at the Mallard Club to get him
out of the house because I knew John lived somewhere
nearby, and the rest is history. I'm going to miss
waiting for JCD to arrive at these meetups and handing
him an envelope. However, I plan to keep these meetups
going in John's honor in Albany and Oakland. I'll be
always grateful for these gatherings and the friendship I've formed
through them. I wish John would have told me he
was born in Fresno. I'm pretty sure I told him
I went to Fresno State. That conversation can wait until
I see him again in heaven. Rest in peace. God
bless JCD, the Dvorak family, and the rest of the
Gitmo Nation. All our love, Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II
and Dame Dreamgirl Rose. Carl Otto Rosengivist. Rosenkvist? Rosenkvist. You
said it. Hi. It took some seconds to parse the
newsletter with the news about JCD's passing. As a quite
grumpy person myself, I always found John a fellow groupger.
He will be remembered not only for that, but for
what he was, a diamond with a thousand facets, every
one unique. No more feet in the air and subs
in the water in the future, but at least 1,888
episodes of wisdom. I started summer around episode 40 and
50, so Noah Jed has been a vital part of
my last 18 years. I've attached a reading of a
donation I made six years ago after they removed a
lump from my wife's stomach. I know what the fear
of losing the one who means the most, and I'm
happy that she's still around. Mimi, be strong. Let your
family give you the energy you need to keep smiling.
Kind regards, Carl Otto. Mike Riley. No, no. Circuity. Circuity
in Colleyville, Texas. This was not an approved exit strategy.
My deepest condolences to Mimi, the Dvorak family, and Adam.
I've been listening since 2008, and to have John and
Adam to listen to each week has gotten me through
the goods and bad times, the ups and downs in
my life, and when I just needed to hear the
deconstruction of the mainstream news, hearing John's perspective, stories, recipes,
and wine tips are always a highlight of the show
for me and will be truly missed. Hopefully, NA, no
gender, will continue in some form, dare I say, four
more years. Adam, we support you in whatever comes next.
Godspeed and rest in peace, JCD. Security, night of the
cybers. Jingle requests, spooky donate. And I just want to
thank Mike Riley, who came just before this. Mike Riley,
super famous cartoonist who has done a lot of art
for us. I think John even had some sent to
him. It might even be on the wall somewhere. It
might be. It might be. There's so many. So much
stuff on there. Um... Texas, oh wait, no, Edward Bala.
In Shulukork. Devastating news. Rest in peace, John, and thank
you for your courage. I'll do two more, and then
I'll hand it off. Yep. Texas Hot Glass LLC in
Smithville, Texas. Good old railroad town. Andrew Wolfe. Dan Black
Loca, Texas Hot Glass. Oh, it doesn't. I only see
a Texas. No, I know. We know our peeps. It's
good. Yeah, you do. You do. Andrew Wolfe, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
All right, I'll take it from here. Thank you. Yeah,
you can pronounce that one. Maybe. Marius Uf Nagel. These
are all 8888. So hope this RIP finds you well.
Condolences to all the family and friends of John. Some
karma for John's travels in the ether from Marius Uwe
Nagel. You've got karma. Thank you, Christine Kodega from Riverside,
Rhode Island. Anthony W. DiPrato, Jackson, Missouri. Mississippi, Missouri, Missouri.
Mississippi. Mississippi. Yeah, and the one before, I think it's
probably Codega. Oh, picky, picky. Well, just saying. John was
a voice of guidance, says Anthony. He likely never thought
about his impact. I emulate his skepticism and the no
agenda deconstruction information in my daily life. Michael Rankin, rest
in peace to Alenja. My Thursdays and Sundays will never
be the same. Condolences to the Dvorak clan. Nick Foster,
JCD has left a lasting impact on the world. Thomas
Caron from Egan, Minnesota. Dear Adam and Dvorak family, Sundays
and Thursdays will never be the same. My thoughts and
prayers are with you. JCD's voice on No Agenda was
constantly speaking from my car stereo for years. His sweetened
clips always brought me a chuckle. As he used to
say, onward! Molly Swift, Marshall, Missouri. Long live JCD. John
Frank, long-time listener, first-time caller. Thank you for all the
years of entertaining stories and great advice. Some family karma
at the end would be greatly appreciated if you have
time. John Frank, Apollo Beach, Florida. The drinking town with
a boating problem. Yes. You've got karma. Heather Johnson. And
I think a de-douching is the right word. You've been
de-douched. Heather Johnson, Lincoln, Nebraska. For John's passing, my husband
Eric listens to every show. Rest in peace, John. We
will keep his family and Adam in our prayers. Sir
European Stephen. Farewell, John. Thank you for your courage and
the memories. Kara Steele. ITM Adam. I was so devastated
to hear that John has found his exit strategy. Over
the years, you two have felt like family, and this
loss feels personal. You have both shaped my worldview, and
I am forever grateful to have found my community. Rest
in peace, JCD. Jonas Malpas from Ucrania. in Belgium. A
small donation to show that John will be missed all
around the world. My sympathies to Mimi, the children, and
to you, Adam. Dame Liberty Mom from Vista, California. JCD,
all of Gitmo Nation is heartbroken from the loss of
you, Adam, Tina, and Mimi, the Dvorak family, praying for
your comfort and peace. Thank you for your courage. Dame

your donation. Scott Walker, thank you for everything, John. You
will be missed by many. Michael Lockyer from Wayne, Pennsylvania
says, Sir Ever of the what? Linwood, Michigan. Godspeed, John.
Sir Ever of the what? Baroness Carol Ann from Pueblo,
Colorado. Dear Adam and Mimi, I'm so sad for your
losing, John. Deep love to you all, and may you
feel and know the comfort of God through this season.
I'm forever grateful for all John gave to me and
all the producers through the years. Baroness Carol Ann of
the Southern Colorado. Sir Brian with an I. 88, 88.
Thank you, Sir Brian, with an I. What about Wen
Miller? Oh, I'm sorry, Wen Miller. You said that just
like John. That pissed me off so much. You're like,
what about Wen Miller? Well, I missed Wen Miller, okay?
Okay, well. It's amazing. What about Wen Miller? What would
you like to tell me about Wen Miller? I got
to tell you, it made me so mad. What about
Wen Miller? Okay, okay. I like him so. What about,
what about? with Gwen Miller. I just skipped it. I'm
sorry. Okay. Just check it. Thank you for keeping that
going. Sir Brian with an I. One thing that always
made me happy is that John always responded to my
emails with laughter. My favorite one was a couple months
ago when you guys were talking about selling beer that
tastes like your armpits. I don't remember this product. I
immediately emailed John and told him that his flavor has
to be called It's No Sweat Off My Balls. He
got a good laugh, but I was sad that I
didn't get to hear it and with that I say
goodbye to you my friend on the other end godspeed
sir brian with an eye Chris Kincaid, Tyler, Texas. John
will be deeply missed. Praying for comfort and peace for
the Dvoraks, for Adam, and for Noah, Jen, and the
nation. It will be a different world without John twice
a week. Rory Buska from Novi, Michigan. Devastated beyond belief
at losing John. The No Agenda show has meant so
much to me since I started listening in 2010. Thank
you for so many years. Rest in peace, JCD, says
Drew Vieneman. Holly Erlinson from Fredericksburg, Texas, right here from
our church. So many things I appreciated about John, but
I think I'm going to miss his laugh the most.
I loved his laugh, made me smile. Prayers for Mimi
and all who knew him personally from Holly. James Hummert,
Denver, Colorado. We'll miss you, John. Thank you for everything.
Sir Eximedia, Toronto, Ontario. Rest in peace, the best podcaster
in the universe. Love you, JCD. You kicked ass at
all times. Lots of strength to Mimi, the kids, and
Adam. God bless you guys. Jobs, karma, please. Sir Eximedia
of Toronto. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for
jobs. You've got karma. Kat from Richmond, Texas. Rest in
peace, JCD. Your sharp wisdom, humor, and unmatched media insight
made no agenda with Adam and DH Unplugged with Andrew.
Truly one of a kind. You, sir, and your uncanny
stock picks with me deeply missed. JTC Cat. Brian Peel,
Lewisburg, Tennessee. Rest in peace, John. Shouldn't still be a
douchebag, but I have been. Well, you got a de-douching.
You've been de-douched. Owe you this for all the years.
Rest in peace, John. Definitely not crying. Sarcasm. PBR jingle
for some old time's sake. Yes, at the end. Makes
me think of JCD. Sir JB of the Chesapeake Bay,
Clarksville, Maryland. My condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families
as well as Noah Jenner Nation. We lost a great
man this week and person who had a profound impact
on how I view the world. I can't express my
thanks enough to John and Adam for keeping me entertained
and most importantly sane over the last 17 years. I
heard Adam on the Howard Stern Show in 2010 and
that led me to start listening and probably have missed
under 10 episodes over the last 17 years. I never
looked at the news the same again. As a fitting
tribute, I was almost exactly $88 away from becoming a
Viscount, and with his passing,
It seems fitting to do 8888 to push me over
the top. I plan on being at the round table
and would like some peppery ants in honor of John.
Yes. I'll send them. Yes. My birthday is August 8th,
and I always enjoyed when Mimi and John's anniversary came
around as I knew the show would talk about 8A.
God bless the Dvoraks, Adam, and all the producers. Thank
you for your courage. Viscount JB of the Chesapeake Bay
and Northern Pennsylvania. Mike Robinson, Salem, Oregon. John likes short
notes. He will be missed. ITM. He loved that. Commodore
Tech Guy. Ty. Mike Beal, we will miss you, John.
Mayumi Akiyama from Tottori in Japan. feel really, really sad,
but I'm grateful that I found the show a few
years ago. I want to go back and listen to
all the past shows. Anthony Renna, Simpsonville, South Carolina. Thank
you for your courage, JCD. Rest in peace. David Oliver.
So sorry for the Dvorak family loss. JCD was truly
a one of a kind. I will miss him after
30 plus years of reading his material. Rest in peace.
Sir Smash of the Lone Wolves in Meppel in the
Netherlands. Stay strong, all. Rene Tabak, Sir Smash of the
Lone Wolves, Meppel, the Netherlands. Micah Farrell. I found John
on Twit, and after numerous mentions of the No Agenda
show, I finally started listening. With only a brief hiatus,
I could not stop listening. I came back for the
news and stayed for the entertainment. John truly will be
missed from Micah. William Kozu, Phoenix, Arizona. John and Adam
have been part of my life for 10 years, even
though I never had the opportunity to meet JC. I
still feel like I knew him. I'm so sad to
hear about his passing and will miss him dearly. Adam,
my condolences to you and the Dvoraks. Sir Michael Wisconsin,
Knight of the Pipe. Greetings Mimi and Adam. I'm deeply
saddened to hear about John's passing. I hope you will
find some peace and comfort during this difficult time. I
will truly miss his antics and unique rants on the
show. Sincerely, Sir Michael Wisconsin, Knight of the Pipe. He
wants us some hot pockets. Sandy the Knight Who Says
Nigh. Castle Garb. Knee? Knee? Oh, knee. Yes, I see
the pronunciations. Who says knee? Castle Garb, British Columbia. During
COVID, you and John may have saved my life. Okay.
I could never thank you enough. With love, Sandy the
Knight, who says knee. And please pay dogs in the
stroller at the end of the show. Will do. Jason
Reed, Houston, Texas. Shorter note version. Please de-douche me. You've
been de-douched. John is now the man who put the
C in see you in heaven. No jingles, but jobs,
karma, please. Jason P. Reed from Houston, Texas. Jobs, jobs,
jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma.
Sir J-Mo, Black Baron, Lewiston, Idaho. Rest in peace, J-City,
from Sir J-Mo. Dude named Muhammad gave us a lot
of boots on the ground. My deepest condolences to the
Dvorak family, to Adam, and to the Gitmo Nation community.
John pulled me into this world from twit and from
that moment on he never stopped challenging me. Over time
I became a producer in every sense whether it was
boots on the ground, artwork design or being knighted. I
always cherished exchanging ideas with John and Adam and it
meant a great deal to me when some of my
thoughts resonated with John. The only exception was his endless
wine tips which I kept playfully protesting as a Muslim.
Rest in peace John the great buzzkill. Thank you for
your courage dude named Mohammed. Jeff Coleman, Waterville, Minnesota. Wow.
making either of those numbers up. Wow. John was already
on our short list of names, but hearing of John's
passing cemented it for me. See picture attached of John
Coleman moments after birth is beautiful. I'm devastated that I
won't hear John's voice going forward, but take a little
solace at the show archives remain. May his memory be
eternal. Jeff Coleman. Chet St. Clair, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. 8888 to
help build the statue. Okay, sure thing. Edward Noom, no,
no, but we thank you. Commodore Doder. I love our
military guys. Commodore Doder of the South Gulf Fleet. Dvorak
family and Adam, my son texted me the news while
I was traveling back home from my wife and I's
25th anniversary trip. At first, I didn't believe it. Then
I saw the newsletter and was immediately convinced this wasn't
a donation ploy by John. My wife hit me in
the mouth several hundred episodes ago and I've not missed
a single one. My oldest son and I often discuss
the episodes whenever we had a chance to chat. We
love the show. Given John's larger than life persona and
his apparently infinite pool of knowledge of literally every subject,
entertaining with stories and broadening our horizons. His perspective on
life is something I will always remember fondly. Even in
the most turbulent times and when most people become frantic
and anxious, John will bring a calming energy to the
conversation with wit, sarcasm, and a touch of grumpiness, and
everything would seem okay. Though I never met him or
had dinner at his house, I enjoyed email conversations with
him on some topics. I'd given some boots-on-the-ground reports on
him, and he was very interesting and insightful. He has
certainly made a lasting impact on my life and I
will miss hearing his voice each week. Dvorak family and
Adam, please know we share in your sadness and offer
our condolences and prayers for comfort during this difficult time.
I pray God grants you strength and peace. John, you
are a hero to many, including me. Thank you for
all the wonderful wisdom, insightful analysis, and hilarious commentary over
the years. You were a national treasure and we'll miss
you very much. Sincere regards, Commander Doder of the South
Gulf Fleet. Sir Cabral of Masaryk Town, Florida. Followed JCD
since the mid-19s. PCMag, CNET Central, ZDTV, TechTV, Tech5, Twit,
Cranky Geeks, No Agenda, Rest in Peace, JCD, Sir Cabral
of Masaryk Town. BK David, Ternaert in Holland. And one
for a new life congratulated O.P.R.M. BK David from the
Fire, Ternaert, The Netherlands. Tom Starkweather. Good to hear from
you, Tom. Stafford, Virginia. My most recent Substack post is
about remembering John. I can say more than I should
here. Starkweather.substack.com. I dearly miss him. And there's Dame Nancy
of the Confused. Adam has been steadfast helping all of
us through this. Please keep him in your prayers. ITM,
Dame Nancy of the Confused. Thank you, Robert Schweitzer, for
your 8888 from Fairfield, Ohio. Chris O'Brien, Boston, Massachusetts. I
can't believe he's no longer with us all. I miss
John greatly. I've been a listener since show 100 and
been following John since his days on Silicon Spin. His
contrarian and well-researched viewpoints always taught me a thing or
two, and he never failed to make me laugh. You
will always be remembered fondly. Rest in peace, John, from
Chris O'Brien, Boston, Massachusetts. Wilhelm Martens from Harrow, Ontario. No
jingles, no karma. Tyler Goetz. I discovered the show as
a teenager and as much and as such have been
listening to no agenda my entire adult life. In many
ways, I feel like John raised me. Poor child. I
am truly blessed to have experienced his perspective, humor, and
wisdom. He will be sorely missed. And there is Sir
Kevin McLaughlin, Archduke of Luna, Lover of America, and Boobs
with an 8888. ITM, Sound Guy Steve made a melon
song using JCD's readings of my donation notes. Thank you.
I have to look that one up. Jacob from Doosan
in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Podcasting has made John eternal. Anyone can
listen to his shows and learn just how awesome he
was. My heartfelt condolences go out to all. Mark Christie,
Mosier, Oregon. Really learned a ton from listening to John
C. Dvorak. Rest in peace to a legend. Baron OG
Godcaster, this is Steve Webb, and Lady Leanne from Riverside,
California. known him forever. To me, JCD was a lovable
curmudgeon. He could be cantankerous, gruff, and crusty, but these
were well-earned traits formed by years of dealing with the
nonsense his finely honed sensibility so easily detected. He was
sometimes frustrating to listen to, but impossible to stay mad
at for long. I'd been a fan for 40 years,
first discovering him with his PC Magazine column, which became
the first thing I would read with each new issue.
As so many have already said, John, I will miss
you. Lovely Lady Leanne and I are praying for the
Dvorak family, Adam and Tina, and everyone who knew John
and loved him. Adam, we're specifically praying for wisdom as
you decide on no agenda's next step. P.S. If I
didn't know better, I would say John paid us a
visit this past Monday night. For the first time in
a very long time, our kitchen was inundated with ants.
You bet. Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. No doubt
the show is already too long by the time you
get to reading this note, but after listening to six
plus hours of show 1888, it dawned on me that
a huge opportunity was missed. So here goes. Adios, mofos.
Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. Thank you, Jacob Schultz.
from Strasburg, Illinois for your 8888. Jason Shepard, I still
can't believe it. I've only been listening for about six
years, but JCD and No Agenda have had such a
profound effect on my life. I don't even know what
to say other than I'm sorry, and my heart goes
out to everyone in Gitmo Nation. Brent Statton, Huntsville, Ontario.
Mourn ye not o'er my departure, mourn ye not I
go upon a journey, mourn ye not my journey is
eternal. From Little Wapameo Island on Canoe Lake in Algonquin
Park, thank you for sharing John with us. Nigel and
Karen Ewan from Columbus, Ohio. I remember meeting John in
the legendary Sacramento Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories
about refineries and manner of things from the observation car
on the California Zephyr. It's one of my most cherished
memories. God bless from Oscars. Oh, wait. I skipped over.
Hold on. Nigel and Karen Ewan. Sorry. We have listened
to No Agenda for many years. We're on a six
No Agenda baby. There you go. Is one of them
named Adam finally? John was a king. We keep crying
when we rinse grease down the drain or say for
some unknown reason. Much love, Nigel and Karen Ewan. Now,
Oscar Z. I remember meeting John on the legendary Sacramento
Train Museum meetup years ago. Tell stories about refineries and
manner of things from the observation car in the California
Zephyr. One of my most cherished memories. God bless, Oscar
Z. Sir Rain Man, rest in peace, JCD. See you,
ITM. Thank you for your courage. We will miss you.
Prayers for Noah to the nation. Connection is protection. Love
is lit. No jingles, no karma from Sir Rain Man.
Simon Xiong, X-I-O-N-G, J-C-D, it was a pleasure listening to
you these last six years, and you will truly be
missed. Your wisdom, knowledge, and candor has helped me understand
the world a little better and made me a better
person. For that, I thank you. Thank you, Arthur Silguero,
for your $88.88 donation. Sir Brian Wright of Mobile Bay
in Mobile, Alabama. He says, but it was a huge
honor to finally earn my knighthood and hear my name
in the list. I hit people in the mouth, but
I should have hit more. I've been on the $12
monthly plan for years, and I should have donated more.
I intended to send notes along the way about episode
topics mentioned, but I didn't. After losing a few close
friends and family over the last couple of years, I've
been more cognizant of late that our time together is
limited. I continue to cherish all of the many hours
I've spent listening to the best podcasts in the universe,
and I've never skipped a donation segment. I raise a
glass of Costco Bordeaux to John's enduring memory, along with
everyone else in the No Agenda family. Being a southerner,
we hug our friends. So I send out a virtual
hug to you, Mimi, Adam, JCJ, Andrew, and all of
No Agenda. There's Marty McFly. I'll do Marty. I've got
Marty. Okay. He's from Koolgardie, Western Australia. You know what's
true? Not Washington. Western Australia. There you go. Dear Mimi,
Adam, and the rest of the KnowAgent family. January last
year, I got hit in the mouth at my friend's
wedding by one of his friends. I'd met this guy
a couple of times before and was always fascinated by
his analysis of geopolitical issues. So I decided to ask
the guy where he got his news from, and he
said sternly, well, there's one show and one show only.
It's KnowAgenda. From that day on, I started listening to
every show and no agenda became a part of my
life. John's witty, sometimes cynical remarks would crack me up
and I found myself unconsciously repeating his words out loud
in public. Yeah, this is a scam. His stories from
back in the day made me feel like I was
listening to the grandfather I never had. For many, he
was an anchor in the roaring sea of bull crap
we have to set sail in every day. I know
he was for me. impact he had on so many
lives and I'm grateful for the way he touched my
life. Together you guys have changed the media landscape and
your work has paved the way for future podcasters and
inspired me to start my own podcast on food. I
hope by this time John is stirring up the Golden
Gates with his wit while offering some of the finest
wines American retailers have to offer. Thanks for everything JCD.
You will be missed. Much love, Marty McFly. Sir Ben
of the Apex, Tiddly Park, Illinois. Love and light to
you, JCD. Will miss his wit and wisdom. Sir Ben
of the Apex. Anonymous, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Anonymous first-time donor
here. I discovered no agenda in the contrived dark winter
of 2021 when it helped lift my spirits amidst the
emerging mask dystopia. At first, I thought Adam and John
were an odd pairing. I didn't understand why the voice
of Generation X would choose this grouchy old tech reviewer
of all people. Face of Generation X, okay? The face
of Generation X. As his co-host. I think you're technically
a boomer, actually. Shut up, Brennan. No, no, no. It
took time for my valid. Stop it. It took time
for my palate to discern the complex flavor notes of
John's personality, his idiosyncrasies, stories, offbeat timing, and a diabolical
love of trolling. I can't imagine with no agenda we'll
be like without him. Rest in peace, JCD. You've been
dedouched. Sir CB from Tokyo, Japan. In memory of JCD,
I have followed him in all his endeavors since the
1980s when he wrote a monthly article that was always
published on the last page of PCMag. I never met
him. He was a friend and an educator for me.
He will be sadly missed. Sir CB in Tokyo. Nepal
Plumber. Rexburg, Idaho. ITM, Adam, and Dvorak family, no words
can express how much we will miss JCD. He is
a legend. Please play the JCD mac and cheese jingle.
We love you. God bless. Aaron from Auckland, New Zealand.
To Adam and the Dvorak family, I hope God shows
you the way forward from your loss. I'm going to
miss the bickering between JCD and Adam and all the
jokes in between the media deconstruction. Thank you so much.
Aaron from Auckland. Sarah A. Martin from Lenark Highlands, Ontario.
Rest in peace, JCD. Thank you for your courage. Love
and prayers to Mimi, Adam, and the kids. Your dad
will live on in my heart. Thank you. The Martinez
family from Greeley, Colorado. From the Martinez family. Prayers to
all the Dvorak, Curry families, and Gitmo Nation. God bless.

out to all affected by John's passing. Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched. Please send me Jobs Karma from my
small business studio in Heinzius here in Finland. Thank you
for the courage in the morning. Martin. Jobs, jobs, jobs,

We're asking only. St. Gallen. CH. Oh, it's, I think,
Switzerland, as we figured it out. John has been an
inspirational character and a mentor of life. He'll be deeply
missed. Rest in peace. Janschen Istra from Erath, Louisiana. I
send a sincerest condolences to John's family and friends. I
imagine he arrived in heaven, found Jesus, insisted he turn
water into wine, and then proceeded to critique the vintage.
Much love, Jansen. Yeah, I think that's about right. Pretty
much. Jordan, yeah, it's probably Spritzy. Jordan R. Temple from
Zanesville, Ohio. I was moved to tears at the opening
of Thursday's show to learn of John's passing. Praying for
you all and thank you for your courage so much.

not. They're provinces. They're provinces. God, you got me there.
John, it would have been a lot cheaper if you
just did this the first time. Still somehow hoping this
is an elaborate ruse to boost donations. 80 is too
young for a guy like John. Thank you for everything,
John. Peace of Christ to all. Mark Kahn. C.P. Morley,
Ashford, Great Britain, RIPJCD, less than three. Buck Manley, Anchorage,
Alaska. Big balls donation, RIP, John. We love you. Harley
Joyce, Rangiora. Why don't you close this out, Adam? I

We're going to 50, aren't we? Are we going to
read all of it? You're right. We are going to
read them all. Harley Joyce, Rangiora, New Zealand. Thoughts go

Mimi bij je was toen je de hoek omging. Je
hebt dat heel mooi gedaan voor haar. Dat is een
groot ding. Ik ga je vreselijk missen. Groeten van Zander.
I think you should have let JC do it, though.
It would have been funnier for the poor people. We've
been going for seven hours, Mimi. I know, I know.
Yeah, we can't. Hey, you know, you just have to
stop by midnight. Oh, yeah, we'll get there. All right.
We just have to stop before the next episode. Greg
Miller, Indianapolis, a.k.a. Mudder. Donations under 80. Oh, that's not
