NO NUKES! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number 6 In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry, and from Northern Silicon Valley where we want to bring back the Fish Witch. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! In the morning! The what now? Fish Witch. Fish witch is that like a sandwich only stinky
00:43 It's a sandwich made from fish. Well, who... Fishwich whatever happened to that term? I've never even heard this term! You've never heard of the fish which as when it needs to be brought back No Yeah it was very popular term in the I don't know when no idea The only fish sandwich I know is the filet-o-fish yeah but fishwhich used to be called the fishwitch No has never been called the fish witch Everybody out there telling me he's wrong again you're making this up I wish Tell him he's wrong again. He's wrong! Hey, happy Father's Day John. Happy Father's Day to you too. You're the father? Yeah we're both fathers. Woo did you get any socks and then you know what I've had you notice there's no more Father's Gifts anymore. Now that you mention it i haven't gotten a Father's Day gift forever yeah
01:35 I don't remember ever getting a Father's Day gift, maybe a tie. No! I don't think so. These days it's like a text and maybe a tweet... Maybe a tweet or an Insta post because it's the patriarchy. Love my daddy! I said so on Instagram. It's the truth Socks. That's the best gift socks. Well, you were going to give your grandson. I know and I bailed out on the idea. I saved you from embarrassment of our one of our in fact that should put this as tip of the day. Oh uh One of our producers came up with a there's an American sock company that makes these socks are really they're super expensive like 15 to 20 bucks a pair Wow but lifetime guarantee get a hole in them send them back to get new pair Really now?
02:28 I thought that was a, if you start doing the calculation on this it might not be a bad idea. Yeah because then I realized there's one problem What's that? The socks that go missing You always miss what we're... You can't send back just one sock, you have to send back two is that the deal? Well i don't know if you have to send back no you probably just send back one but what good does one sock do ya No, but if you just send back one then you can get two pair for one pair. Send back a sock and say hey look this is no good and he sent back the other sock later you got two pairs for one. If their socks bad they're gonna repair it no matter what I will say i've seen a remarkable decline in the quality of socks. Yes, I agree Smart wool socks which Tina got me which I like but they don't last They do not last
03:20 You got, and you're pulling them up. There goes the hole in the heel. You know, um... Daymaster! There's no reason to ever have a hole in the heel. No. I can- you know holes in the toe? I can see if you've got a toenail that you never cut it right or is jagged at each side of your sock but the heel?! Nah, I'm telling ya. How do you get a hole in the heel? I have the same thing with- I've got socks with holes on my heels how does that work? It's just not good This is the nature of this show ladies and gentlemen Well, not talking about socks.

04:08 And they are the most comfortable, sturdy socks I have seen in a while. I need to ask her what they're called. Track them down and make it tip of the day! Sock tip of the day? Yeah really good socks. People you know socks just aren't appreciated the way they used to be. Socks big deal. Everyone just buys them at Costco So of course everything happens on show days.
