No Agenda Episode 1550, Best of Clips Introduction
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 1550 of the No Agenda show, noting that it is a special "best of" edition while Curry recovers from a dental procedure. They credit producer Gustavo Raya for compiling a retrospective of "Clip of the Day" segments spanning the last several years. The hosts reminisce about the origins of the "Clip of the Day" jingle, which dates back to at least 2011, and discuss the use of a Madonna sample in their production.

Dvorak Here we are everybody it is Thursday. It is kind of almost life not quite I am yes, I'm recovering Yes you are yes some some swelling may occur. I've been promised this whole thing was not anything like the brochure
00:47 I just want you to know the brochure had me going in whistling, oh okay i'm gonna have this little procedure everything's good and you know like three days later I have beautiful teeth. Yeah, yeah that's what it looks like in the brochure. Yes exactly so I would say about probably around Christmas everything will be fine Everything will be just fine So today we have a special episode which we have to do from time-to-time especially as we get older and things start to fall apart Yep Actually I don't think you've ever skipped a show for anything health related Have you?
01:29 No, no not yet. You're like I would but here's the wood. I don't think you've ever had that I mean no no I haven't neither of us have ever been sick for anything Not really called up for being sick. I still my throat is still completely shot from I don't know what that was So we always just keep going and stuff anyway doesn't matter We have a great show lined up for you today Gustavo Raya, who is one of our producers who believe it or not I bumped into him in Nashville. He says hey man um I know you're going in for your thing do you remember? I sent you a... Oh man! You're the guy so yeah
02:11 He made a best of clips of the day. We never meet these guys! I know, ever! I mean i don't think...I've never met Paul Couture. I've never met anybody really we never get out of the house so he's apparently uh..i don't even know if he's from Nashville or not people were driving down from Indiana they're coming from Mississippi all over the place So he said, you know I he went back. I think he went back five years and I said how did you do that? He said well at a certain point four or five years ago just started So he started five years ago. Yeah, he started... Ah so it's like a labor of love? Yes annotating clips of the day. Oh that's yes that's what we did. I mean how did you ever find all these clips for today? Did you look for the jingles? You looked for waveforms now as always listening to just start writing down time codes and kept it so four years he's kept these time codes of course
03:03 When did we actually start clip of the day? Do you remember that at least a decade ago now that far yes It's along at least a decade ago. Let me see clip of the day let me take a look at our original The date oh, you're right 2011 is the first exam the first copy of the force original I have Of the Clip-o-the-day jingle 2011 I think i was just throwing out to casual that's a clip of the day or something and somebody came up with the jingle and once it was codified which, I guess was in 2011 as something with a jingle then we had then we started giving each other Clip Of The Day awards. I don't even remember who did Clip Of The Day how about how bad is that? Who did that jingle? I have no idea. I wonder if there's any... It should be on the file
03:56 It doesn't say on the file. I'm looking at it right now, and we see info No properties here we go nope nope doesn't say well just play it for old times sake yeah Well of course I'll play it full time so hold on a second This is the clip-of-the-day jingle And then something that's a pro that did that you're right and there's something that came later was the borderline Borderline. Yeah, do you even know what that border line is from? No! That's Madonna. She...Madonna had a song called Borderline
04:39 Dropped it on this funny just dropped the right answer we sampled it. Yes Exactly with somebody dead for over a decade We've been using Madonna who knew anyway, he's done a yeoman job He has put together this I mean very extensive I reordered a couple of things and just you know Put a couple things in different order to make it a little snappier at the beginning And we actually have quite the conversation sometimes about clip of the day. Oh, all right well let it rip! Here we go... The best of the clips of the day with no agenda and Bernie Sanders now he's completely nuts My question is to you if I'm your son what advice would you give me?
