Podcaster Down!

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, March 5th, 2026. This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 1848. This is no agenda. Wondering where the newsletter went 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. I can't find John anywhere. What in the world is going on here? Wait a minute, you're not John. Who is this? This is Mimi.

00:36 Ladies and gentlemen, there you go a first on the no agenda show a voice We have never I don't think we've ever had a different voice in the opening. No, no, not true. What do you mean? John sometimes mimics me and I do not sound like what he says. No, you have a very nice microphone presence ladies and gentlemen, this is Mimi Dvorak Coming in from the the great state of Washington. Yeah Yep, the upper left corner, Port Angeles, Washington. Yes. And I will say that I got a phone call from Andrew Horowitz a little past eight o'clock, a little past nine o'clock his time. And I thought that my first thought was, oh, there's something wrong with the stream. And he wants to know if I can find void zero or some crap like that. Like, hello, what's going on? Yeah. What's going on with John? What do you mean?

01:29 Well, I hear he's in the hospital. I'm like, what? What? Wait a minute. How can you know this and I not know this? And so here we are. Now we're about 24 hours later. Mimi, what is going on? Good question. I got a call from John yesterday afternoon and he said, hey, I'm at the doctor's office. I was getting blood tests and now I'm heading to the hospital. So I was like, okay. Okay. Yeah. No, wait a minute. He was calling from his cell phone? Yes. My first question. It says John News Cell. What? Wow. What is going on with this? So he actually had the cell phone with him. This is interesting. I know. Well, I think he had a

02:22 some he figured you might need it so he yeah, so he's in the hospital he What can I say he's alive Without without breaking breaking any HIPAA violations. Can you can you give us a little more details about what's going on? Yeah, he's gonna have to have a double bypass and Tomorrow or the next day and he will be a little bit out of commission for a few days And then I will force I'll be all drive down and I'll force him to get back on on the air Wow, wow this I mean honestly, this was shocking to me and to people I know because You know, we hear John twice a week and he sounds fine. Everything's great you know never notice a thing and I

03:13 All of a sudden just boom double bypass this this must have been going on for a tad I can't come out of the blue from nowhere. It was silent and you know and here's the thing you know what's funny is that today I talked to everyone except. two janitors at the hospital. Mimi calls me and I say, Hey, have you heard anything? Oh yeah. I've talked to everybody in the hospital, including, except not the janitor, but the janitor's calling you back in five minutes. You totally had everybody on the phone. So they're, they're asking, well, you know, cause they've seen John since he's been kind of out of it. I mean, right now he's,

03:50 Pretty out of it. So they're like, well, what's he like? Is he able to manage? Does he get any exercise? Is he mentally there? Did you tell him that he co-hosts the best podcast in the universe? I did. And then one of the nurses goes, I listen to that. Really? Oh, awesome. There you go. There you go. That's the guy. That's him. Really? That's the guy. So, yeah, I mean, it's definitely a bit of a shock to me and I didn't plan on going down to California tomorrow. But, you know, he's a tough old monster.

04:35 Or as Christina said, he's a tough old goat. I thought that was another good description. Yeah, yeah, in a way he is, yes. You know, the one thing I've warned them is like, oh, he's not going to be really happy. No, indeed because is he is he out now they sedated him he's he's asleep. He's he had procedures today to identify what was going on and Because you know he had to be on his back for a long time. They decided it was good to intubate him which he wasn't happy about oh goodness no and You know he's got a little bit of fluid on his lungs so they have to clean that up and

05:15 And so yeah, but you know, he should be fine. I mean, we'll see how much he yells at me tomorrow. Yeah. I mean, I've, I have had friends, many friends who've had this procedure. I know lots of people and these days modern medicine, you know, the one thing I know they're good at is mechanics, broken bones and heart stuff. They are so good at that. They kick people out of the hospital within days after these procedures. Yep. So, well, they've already said that after surgery, they don't tend to keep people more than five days. and usually three if they can get him out fast enough. So that's good.

05:59 You know, I mean, John is actually in good shape because he lives at a Stairmaster. He goes up and down, you know, a thousand stairs all the time because he lives on a hill. And then, you know, he cooks and he, you know, he actually prepares decent meals and, you know, and he keeps engaged with the universe, although maybe not get doesn't get out of the house that much. Well, once every three months for a meetup. I mean, you know, he does get out a little bit and to go to that stupid market where all this stuff is secondhand or whatever it is, the Gross out. Yeah, the ugly market. Yes, so So what what we're doing Because of course, you know, I even talked to Horowitz and we're like, you know, hey man, it's like Darren O'Neill's lined up Mo faxes lined up I mean, there's a lot of people that we could be bringing into these shows, you know, it's like everybody's knocking on the door but obviously we said

06:50 There's no no agenda or no DH unplug without john it just is not the same it would never be the same so we've decided we're going to do best of shows. We happen to have a best of for no agenda in the can which. Funny enough is the exit strategies revisited. And I'm like, this is not an exit strategy, Dvorak. This is not how it's supposed to go. And I know you don't like exit strategies. You always say it's bad for donations. In fact, the show starts off with John complaining about you complaining about exit strategy stories. But these are pretty funny. And John Jensen's circumference put it together. Since we probably

07:36 Won't have John back for a couple of shows I would like to make the call out now to all know agenda producers Here's the moment where you can step up you can make some killer best of shows Being it dot IO is your tool. You can find everything you can clip everything and Any ideas, we're open to it because we just want to have people entertained while we wait for John to recover and come back. And so it would be fantastic if people can help us out with that. Although, you know, this is the exact wrong time for John to do this. I mean, there's so much great news going on.

08:14 I mean, I'm like, holy crap, this is the worst moment. People need us now more than ever. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Well, I have a feeling the war will continue for a little bit. We'll ask the president to extend it so we can slide back in and do some more deconstruction. But man, yeah, the media is going nuts. Everybody's going nuts. But you know what? It is what it is. And we're just happy that he's in good hands. I know that everybody hearing this will be thinking of him, sending positive vibes. For the sons and daughters of God, you know what to do. Everyone here in Fredericksburg is praying for John and for you and for JC and for Jay, and we really want to get him back on the air as soon as possible.

09:04 And we still have to pay the bills. Well, this is true. This is true. So we'll talk about that in a second. We're going to start in right now with the circumference's best of exit strategies revisited, which starts off, as I said, with a complaint about the whole concept. Well, I would like to point out that we are a US made podcast. We are. And I have a possible exit strategy that's been staring us in the face for a long time. Yes, I have to point out to you that Mimi's objecting to this concept. Do you even know what my concept is? It doesn't matter. She says that every time you mention exit strategy, it gives her a

08:14 I mean, I'm like, holy crap, this is the worst moment. People need us now more than ever. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Well, I have a feeling the war will continue for a little bit. We'll ask the president to extend it so we can slide back in and do some more deconstruction. But man, yeah, the media is going nuts. Everybody's going nuts. But you know what? It is what it is. And we're just happy that he's in good hands. I know that everybody hearing this will be thinking of him, sending positive vibes. For the sons and daughters of God, you know what to do. Everyone here in Fredericksburg is praying for John and for you and for JC and for Jay, and we really want to get him back on the air as soon as possible.

09:04 And we still have to pay the bills. Well, this is true. This is true. So we'll talk about that in a second. We're going to start in right now with the circumference's best of exit strategies revisited, which starts off, as I said, with a complaint about the whole concept. Well, I would like to point out that we are a US made podcast. We are. And I have a possible exit strategy that's been staring us in the face for a long time. Yes, I have to point out to you that Mimi's objecting to this concept. Do you even know what my concept is? It doesn't matter. She says that every time you mention exit strategy, it gives her a

09:47 The Heap Shill? And she says it's triggering and she says it's hurting donations. Well what if I told her that we could, with our Dutch masters, we could bring in maybe five, six hundred million dollars as an exit strategy? Would that give her a different feeling? It's still going to hurt donations. In fact, that'll hurt donations more if they got that much money. Why do they need mine? Really now, so you're saying that our joke about exit strategy, which will never achieve and have been talking about for almost 17 years, I think show number 10 we were talking about how do we get out of this gig, that's been hurting donations? She says yes.

10:34 Man, John and I have talked about this so many times. We've talked about it, we've talked about it on the show, we always said it was a good idea, and then once again we just let it slip. And now some idiot's gone off and done it and we're left holding nothing. Exit strategy of the year. A lingerie company from Japan is now creating lace underwear for men. Now it might sound like a strange idea, but Wacol didn't just jump into the idea blindly. Don't you remember this? It was like 12 years ago. Yes, but now and it's a hit. It's a hit. Look, they even tested it the way we wanted to. I think it's a hit in a sense that what was the actor Sean Penn's bitching about that

11:18 Men are getting feminized. There's no men anymore. It's terrible. Yeah, that's that's why we knew this would be the product In November they tested the waters by offering lace boxers on a crowdfunding platform. It was very earning more than $28,000 in pledges. I'm telling you ma'am. All right. Well, we missed it. I guess back to the podcast for us reach migrant farm workers through carefully timed radio spots. She says the new round of funding will allow the coalition to build on what they've learned and get more people vaccinated. Holy crap, we are idiots!

11:55 easy exit strategy we could have easily written up a grant and said look we're gonna convince crackpots to get vaccinated it might not work but I think you know we've learned a lot so far doing this program so you should up the money this is we're ready for another we've had learning so let's try it again and do some more that was easy money John. Now you want to watch this it's about a a writer who, a magazine editor who wants to create her first magazine and she winds up teaming up with a pornographer and they create a women, like, basically like Playgirl. But it's the 70s and it's so well done. Everything is, I mean, everything is recognizable. The colors, the whole thing is cool. So 70s are back, baby. I, wait!

12:41 Bell-bottoms anybody we can make a killing here's our exit strategy just if we go into if we go long bell-bottoms Bell-bottoms may be part of a different cycle. Mmm. I think the mini-skirts is where we should be headed. Oh, baby That's beautiful and and just on amber heard I So no, I've avoided that because I actually have other things to do with my life like, you know, getting interesting clips of stuff that makes a difference in our life. However, I'm looking for clips. However,

13:18 I had to get two box fans because now we have another an S9 minor so now this room where I have this set up is getting kind of hot so I need to blow some air out. So I go to Walmart which is out on 290 and in the car I hear Fox News they're talking to Sheila Jackson Lee which by itself is like ugh Okay, but she's irritating but at least she was talking about something relevant to what's going on in the world and the Fox News hosts are going, yeah okay just briefly yeah okay we got to go. Thank you, Sheila Jackson, it was a pleasure. Because we have to go now live to Amber Heard's testimony! Like wow! Great television programming choice but for news channel what a dumb thing and what happened?

14:05 is I sat in the Walmart parking lot for 15 minutes listening to her, I have to say, riveting testimony. What is it about celebrity and fame that just draws even me in just to hear about how she took off his boots? It's like... I can't help... what is that? What is wrong with the human psyche that me, even me, who lived some of this stupid celebrity life, that it's just... it's interesting to listen to. What is that? I wish I knew. I wish I could bottle it. Yeah, there's our exit strategy. Herd in a bottle. Setting up a yak ranch in Casper, Wyoming. And he's gonna be selling yak meat and yak jerky.

15:01 That's one of the places where, yeah, Wyoming's a big hot spot for the yak. Yeah. So, you know, you are the one that spearheaded this and now she's going away with all the profits. Wow. This was an exit strategy for us. It was clear. We should have been in on it. You know, we have good reasons for that. I may have seen this person, she, before. A lot of tats. Oh yeah. You've definitely seen Jeffree Star. So, uh, yeah, the problem is, does, do either one of us want to run a yak ranch? I'm really thinking no. I got the dog for it. Yeah, you got a dog. That's as far as we've gotten. Hey, we're on our way. 70s reboot. Can we get tube tops to come back? You know, my favorite thing about tube tops were the little kids.

15:58 You know, mean little kid. That sounds creepy. Okay, yes. You was a little kid, yeah? And mean little kid... I was older than the mean little kid at the time, but I always got a kick out of it. Mean little kid come up around it didn't take much but a mean little kid come up behind a girl wearing a tube top just pull on it and boom it popped right off and there she was bare-breasted. It was the topless era too so a few of the women concerned themselves but I'm thinking we may be early enough to get a jump on this and exit strategy. But tube top? Yeah, why not? I forget, you know what they're just basically they're made out of something. This is my point. They're cheap to make. Yeah, they're definitely cheap to make. They look good. Yeah, alright, cheap, cheap, why not?

16:48 People don't know that. They don't know that. They don't know that you're a sumo wrestling aficionado. I love sumo. It's nothing like watching a couple of fat guys who are intentionally fat. They actually take the weight off after they quit the game. But they have to be intentionally fat because of the nature of the game. So you have to have a lot of weight. I mean, you can try the fast move, the little thinner guys. Why do you need to be so fat? Just because of the pure bulk? You can just slam into people and just use your mass? Yeah, well, two reasons. One, you don't want to be someone who can be easily pushed around because it's just a little round ring. Yeah, that's true. And you get pushed out easily if you go ahead with a big fat guy. Yeah. But it's interesting. NHK has done a very good job on some of the in the last few years of

17:39 Going into a lot of the details of sumo, which makes it actually even more interesting how these guys come up and they have to literally just make themselves as fat as they can, kind of like an actor might do in a movie. And they only last in the game maybe five to 10 years, maybe at the most. So some guys that stick around for some length of time, they're more naturally big. And it's just fascinating to watch. There's lots of skill to it. But I've always thought Americans would love this because it's like, who doesn't love fat guys? Who doesn't love fat guys? You know, if they could combine sumo wrestling with hot dog eating, I think we'd have a winning formula for America. I think American football guards and tackles in the American Football Professional League could become sumos if they

18:34 You know, if they wanted to. I would like to see it. I'd like to see Sumo go against the best guard in the NFL and see what happens. As just an exhibition. Sumo football. It's getting better. I mean, we're creating an entire... This is our exit strategy. Finally, sumo football. That's it, everybody. Sumo football for Adam and John. The best thing that happened this past week is a little upsetting to me because it was such an obvious out for us. It was the exit strategy of all exit strategies. And it goes like this, it's a reality show, we know how to produce these. It's a reality show, you put seven anti-vaxxers or people who refuse to accept the vaccine into their life, into a mansion, and then you send in doctors to convince them to get vax anyway, and you film it. I mean, did we miss an opportunity there? Well, the BBC did it.

19:34 They literally took seven people, put them in a mansion for five days, had two, at least two doctors, both of them proven who have had research money and other sponsorship by Pfizer. It doesn't get any better than that. Pfizer is behind it all. To stick them into this house and try to convince them that they should accept the vaccine into their life. And they called it a documentary. It's called Unvaccinated. And the country is in an uproar over this, absolute uproar. People can't believe that the BBC would do something like this. Here's a segment on it from GBN, GB News, about this BBC documentary

20:22 unvaccinated. The BBC has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks, but it's under fresh fire today after the broadcast of its new documentary on Brits who have chosen not to have the Covid jab. Unvaccinated saw seven folk put in a house for five days while a flurry of so-called experts tried to diffuse their concerns about taking the injection. presented by Professor Hannah Fry, a data-crunching mathematician who takes credit for bringing us out of the first lockdown in 2020. The show ultimately tried to get the group to change their minds and get vaccinated.

21:00 But participants of the program, which aired on BBC2 last night, have now hit out at the quote, bias beeb for crafty editing and cutting key scenes from their contributions. Here's a clip of tonight's guests, Nazarin Veronica and Vicky Borman in action on the show. Friend Katrina, she is 28 years old. She Was perfectly healthy before she only had one dose of the Pfizer vaccine five days later She was beginning to experience brain fog now. She's had a stroke She's had three suspected heart attacks. So this is a video of her having a seizure Hmm. How can you be sure?

21:45 that that was the vaccine and not something that would have happened anyway. Many viewers have since blasted the BBC for broadcasting quote unbalanced propaganda and the Daily Telegraph also let rip calling the program a painfully patronizing documentary that was akin to Big Brother sponsored by Pfizer before giving it a paltry one star out of five. It's linked in the show notes, it's on YouTube, it's a must watch. But the one side effect that everyone has heard about with heart issues, clotting, myocarditis, periocarditis, they have a novel way of explaining this problem in Australia. Thousands of home defibrillators are being rolled out in Australian homes with hopes that one day every household will have one. They weigh less than half a kilogram, they're easy to use if anyone suddenly collapses. Oh!

22:40 Every year in Australia around 25,000 people go into sudden cardiac arrest. 80% of those happen at home but less than 3% survive. Sudden cardiac arrest is sudden, instant, surprising. You need something immediate because after 10 minutes it's virtually impossible to bring you back. So there's a whole promotion going on in Australia. You need a defibrillator at home. Everybody should have one. Why not? Makes so much sense. I find these things to be... Where's those commercials here? It sounds like an opportunity. Ooh, exit strategy. That's what I'm thinking. We could sell them in your car. You could have them in your home. Oh yeah, that plugs right into the cigarette lighter. Yes, yes. How about just a backpack for kids? For kids. Backpack for school? Yeah. Back to school. Got your defibrillator right there for your classmates.

23:34 Well, this is this is a very interesting idea and you know, we could build that ourselves. It's not hard You have the skills system. Just a couple of transformers and come captain a couple of paddles good to go. Boom. It's did again by the way Yeah, we're not lawyers Andrew Horowitz is exit strategy of horticultural based therapy a worst idea ever Oh, poor, you can't say that. No, but he was saying we should be doing it. Oh no, that's not going to happen. For him, it's great. It's core competency. We don't know how to talk to plants. You're right, that's more his core competency. Yeah, he's good at talking to plants. He does that all day. By the way, so Gen Z, you know, and the millennials. Oh yeah, great idea. Yes, of course.

24:26 Just a checkbox on your health app in your iPhone. It's a great idea because it's so good for climate change. It's just compost man. It's like useless. There's no memory. There's no place to put flowers. There's nobody's gonna give a crap that you're dead because you're now... What happened to the tomato plants you planted over Bill? Oh, they died. We're gonna sell in the house. If I asked Tina, if I said, because she's always like, nah, just throw me out. I don't care. Yeah, they always say sure. Yeah. I'm gonna I'm gonna say, hey, could I turn you into compost? Ask her. If she goes first, of course. I mean, if I go first, it's out of the question. I want rituals. I want to make sure she goes first. Is this second clip any good?

25:10 So, it's a little just more details. It's okay. Oh, let's hear it. Let's hear it. So, we still have a process that this has to go through. This is not going to be something that's allowed in California until 2027, until the Bureau goes through a process to ensure we have something that's going to be both respectful of our bodies, respectful of the environment and respectful of our communities. And so, the stakeholders will be able to give input as the department comes up with their rules and regulations for the companies that will be doing this work here. How much of an impact before we go here and we don't have much time left But how much of an impact do you think this can truly make in terms of fighting climate change? I know that was that was the reason you push for this legislation

25:52 Well, I will say that, you know, every little bit helps and it adds up quickly. We expect that, you know, we just think about it during the pandemic, we had to waive our rules on cremation, we do have a limitation on how much can happen at a given time out there. And so metric tons all add up. And so this is not a silver bullet by itself is not going to fix climate change. But we have to think about our footprint in all aspects. And this is just another aspect. Now, is this a California legislation or is this? No, it's California legislation. I guess some other states have already put it in play. Other blue states I should mention. Man, we could have no agenda exit strategy. We could market the home kit. Turn granny into great food. There's possibilities here. Silent breed is people!

26:48 So if you're listening live, you can go to noagendaartgenerator.com. Sir Paul Couture, value for value, set that up over 27,000 pieces of art ago. Let me see if I'm right there, what's the number? That was 80. 27,480 art pieces ago. Yeah, we could actually stop collecting art and use the old art and go on for about five years. No, no, we could actually just Sell NFTs and stop the show. Well that would yeah, just sell NFTs. That's our exit strategy. Art generator NFTs for life. Why does he owe it? He's a go-to on being accused of sex cult. Get Dersha on the phone.

27:30 Maybe. Is that all he can get now? That's the only cases he can get? He can't get anything else ever since he turned, he never turned Republican but he turned into a Trump. Yeah, he can't get... I would say a Trump apologist for the networks because he wasn't getting work anyway. I mean these other guys have been completely kicked off the air. Seymour Hersh has not been seen or heard from. We already know Cohen was, before he died, was pretty much kicked off the air. There's, I can name a bunch of McGovern, that CIA, ex-CIA guy who used to be on all the talk shows telling, you know, his side of the, from a CIA perspective, very good guy, gone. And Dursh was one of them that was purged and he had to crop back up as a Trump apologist and I think maybe it is that he can only get this sort of work.

28:23 It's just, you know, these are patterns I notice. No, it's a noticeable pattern and I agree 100% it's suspicious looking but then again he's been, the only place you'll see him now is on right-wing talk shows and he's a very left guy. Not anymore, man. Well, no, because I'm sure it's been beaten out of him because these are my friends, what? He should do a podcast with Chris Hedges. I'd produce it. We could sell it to Spotify. Exit strategy. I may clip this for the next show. It's all part of the Russian playbook. That's a great ISO. We need that end of show ISO. So the phrase, the Russian playbook. By the way, anyone want to do a bestseller real quick? Yeah, Russian. Just do a book called the Russian playbook. Well, what's wrong with us? Exit strategy. Hello. We could make this so humorous.

29:23 Well, let's start with this, I'm jumping around because I'm looking at the list, but let's go Biden, poor get poor. The middle class gets stiffed. The poor get poor under their policies. You saw what happened. I like the middle class gets stiffed. The middle class gets stiffed. I like that. Excuse me, end of show, I saw. The poor get poor under their policies. You saw what happened. The poor get poor under their power. Poor get poor. Now see this is a you get again listen Biden speak he said he's the word although you what you heard was Paul. Yeah. They get poor under their Paul blah blah blah.

30:01 What he actually said was policy. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Let me hear that again. The middle class gets stiffed, the poor get poorer under their policy. You saw what happened. Oh, under their policy. I think you know you could even have a job in a little corner of the screen. Translated person Trent in fact, you know, I don't know man. I'm just saying exit strategies are a plenty today Oh get deaf plenty of exit strategies But look man, if everybody who committed anti-semitism came around supported ADL I would be a much much wealthier the organization be much richer. We'd all be much better. Why would he be wealthier? Right into his pocket

30:46 Exactly! Did you hear the truth come out once again? Look man, if everybody who committed anti-Semitism came around and supported ADL, I would be a much, much wealthier. The organization would be much richer. We'd all be much better off. Yeah. In fact, whoever that interviewer was, that is the scam. That's what the Rainbow Coalition does. That's what Al Sharpton does. They threaten these companies that go from here to there and they say we're gonna do a we're gonna point you out as a bunch of racists and so you better oh you're gonna contribute to us that's good okay well I think that would be good for now. This is a comments pressure group tactic it's not unusual the JDL does it the Southern Poverty Law Center does it. Nowadays the civil what's the civil

31:34 Rights operation ACLU ACLU does it? Hey, how can we get on this train? We could. And who can we call out? I know. Nobody. I know the formula. I mean it's easy enough to set up a... First you gotta... It takes a while. I mean you just can't do it overnight, but you set up a pressure group. Long game exit strategy. And you have to make sure that you can do... You can get pickets. You gotta get people that can picket. You have to have in. You have to have a into the news organization so you can get the stuff written up so they always cover it if doesn't get covered it's not gonna work. It's very, the formula is out there for anyone to use it and I've seen it used here and there and I think this guy to point it out as a possibility I think this was valid and I think it was noble. Want to thank Cabbage Pops?

32:33 For the official Adam Curry strain, it is approved and I can't wait to see it grown all over the world. Finally, finally he's reached his pinnacle. He sent me seeds. Yeah, oh he did. Good for you. Grow them. In Texas you can grow that stuff. You'll be arrested in a month. Go to jail. Grow them he says. Do you want an exit strategy? That's a smart move. You know, it'll be like... Why don't you go in... Okay, let's strategize this right in real time. Would you like me to get you an account on my secret server so that you can also follow them? No, I'm good. I got plenty to do with my time. Okay. But let's do this. Get yourself an account as a young woman about a

33:17 16 year old yeah, can you please send me your young woman profile so I can use hold on she's gonna be a young woman 16 a journalism student, but she's on the high school newspaper I'm just would develop a character here. She's on the high school newspaper. She's a really cute blonde and Kind of ditzy, speaks a little bit with an uptalk, doesn't really know that much and doesn't like history, but she's always wanted to be a famous writer because she likes reading novels and she's a big fan of, who's that famous, the one famous novelist that all the girls read. Oh, the one that Emily, Emily Poe, not Emily Poe, but Emily whatever. Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson. Yeah, Dickinson. So she's a big fan of that.

34:02 she is look look why don't you write the profile for me and you go in there you can ask dumb questions and you'll and if you wait let's get a pic we'll get a picture of her that you can post John I'm not gonna do this I'm not this is your be great this you know how to do this I'm gonna get you I'm gonna get you an account and you can you can make up your little lady there and you can do I'm not gonna pretend to be a role in there And do you know how creepy it is? Even what you're saying is creepy. Pretend to be a 16 year old girl who likes Emily Dickinson. That's creepy. Creepy. It gets even better when you get the responses from these horny old dogs. You got a screenshot of them. It is worth the price of admission. This is a project we can do together. In fact, this may be our exit strategy. I think there's a whole podcast in just doing this.

34:50 We could get hired by Spotify. I'm telling you. This would be great. If we never revealed who we are. Yeah, this is total exit strategy. Totally a great idea. Dehydrated eggs and some regular fresh eggs. Just little milk, little butter, little salt. I put them into separate unlabeled dishes and serve them to our egg lovers. So everybody likes the fresh eggs. Also mostly like the dehydrated eggs. Flavorful, spongy. A little spongy. But now for the big one, the plant-based eggs. This one is super interesting but it doesn't taste like egg. I agree. Maybe I'm wrong, but that does not taste like an egg. That tastes like potatoes. It's messing with my head.

35:34 I don't know, I'm not loving these. They look a little wetter too, look a little soggier. So for the moment, it seems like the real eggs have it. But science is moving fast. The first plant-based fried egg has been developed by a startup in Israel and investors are pouring billions of dollars into food startups that are trying to tackle the egg. After all, if egg prices stay high, customers may get really serious about looking for the exit. Oh, the exit. Oh, the exit. Please. But you see, this is the trick. That was exactly what you're talking about. Exit strategy. That's what that book is. It's a Dvorak family exit strategy. Exit strategy.

36:22 So the idea is to make the real food expensive and then of course people are going to go to the cheap shit because they don't, they're under-informed. They don't know what they're doing to their bodies. It tastes pretty good, looks the business, got the texture. If it's got the right same amount of protein, let's just eat those. Yeah, that's the logic. You actually nailed the logic. You do go down the laundry list of what's got in it. And it tastes, it's good. I can taste, none of those were good, I'm assuming the way they described them. But it tastes good and it's got the laundry list check marked. Okay, yeah, it's actually got more protein and more vitamin C. This'll be better, it's actually better. And as a bonus, you get less antibodies against COVID. That's not gonna happen. It is gonna happen. Immediately? No, not gonna happen immediately. It's gonna happen quick. Nah, okay.

37:20 Well, I hope so. Because you're the first one to go. What? What are you going to use a phony... Yes, Adam, you are... Here's me on the new No Agenda show somehow without John C. Dvorak. Yes, Adam, you're totally correct. What did you say, John? I don't think you're right. That's how it's gonna be. In fact, it's not even gonna be John C. Dvorak anymore. It's gonna be my sidekick. Thank you, Adam. I love working with you. You're good. You're on the money there. You're so much better than John. I know. His rubbers were loose. So, you know, we really... I can do this all day long. In fact, don't even come on the next show.

38:06 So that button is on the... I made this one. I made this one myself. I tuned it. It's not standard. You know, you got to use the systems. There was an update, so of course I was playing with it. That's my... I like that guy. Well, thank you, John. This is our exit strategy. Sometimes I'm on V100. That guy is good, isn't he? He is a good guy. I like him. You gotta give him a name. Okay, well, how about a name? Can I be of assistance? Okay, what's his name? We gotta give him a name. I think Zippy comes to mind. Zippy! Hey, I like it! Hi everybody! I'm Zippy! Yeah, it's Zippy! Zippy, the AI of the No Agenda Show! Yeah, alright, Zippy in the house! Zippy is now our official co-host. Whenever we need information, we can always call on Zippy.

39:02 Because as we know Zippy is always right I don't know. You caught me off guard. I have no idea. Thank you for your participation. Maybe it's an op of some sort. Maybe De Beers is behind making them. Oh, I'm sure it is. But my point is people are accepting knockoffs as groovy. Yeah. No. Okay. And they're going to probably do some more fancy stuff to them so they're like multi-colored. You know, something you can't do naturally. Natural diamonds do have it. They're black. Yeah, they're go go special canaries colors. Let's have something that's got a multi bunch of different colors in it How about that for an idea maybe? Maybe there'll be some really well. Maybe that's an exit strategy for us. Maybe we can come up with some rock I don't think so okay. It's not on our core competency all right. It's an our core competency is this though I

39:57 I don't know if us, that's two of us combined is over 100 years of experience. We don't know, not a single person, but if you look in this list, shot in the head, shot in the head, shot in the head, it's unbelievable. I like the dyed while jogging. I'm gonna, that's, I want that one. That's the pricker. Dyed while jogging. So they were on a murder spree to clean things up and they did it. It's almost not worth it. The amount of people they had to kill for this to keep it quiet. And they didn't keep it quiet. But you know what this tells me?

40:39 that considering that this came from a Netflix special which of course always comes from a podcast we need to start a true crime this is our exit strategy true crime podcast who killed Hillary will be in the future in the future of who killed Hillary and we'll build this whole thing of how she was killed. It's not going to be very dramatic when she dies at 93, which is what it looks like it's going to happen. It doesn't matter. We can put people in that frame of mind. And then we can sell the Netflix rights when she's gone. To Brunetti! This has Blockbuster written all over it and we can get bit parts.

41:19 Oh man, dynamite. It should be fun. I mean we'll probably make it with the show through to 2024. I don't know if we can do it again. That'll be the fourth election you and I have been through together? One, two, three, yeah looks like it. Yeah, we should probably call it quits at four. I mean, goodness gracious. We get the egg book selling first. Hey, I don't have a piece of that action, man. I got to get an exit strategy together. I'm going to be the anti-egg guy. We got the value for value book. We're going to do the same thing. You get a piece of that. Oh, okay. Yeah. Now, you've seen the numbers? And we also have the primer, the no agenda ABCs or whatever it is.

42:09 That book which had been stolen on forever. I think we need to do consultancy. We need to do consultancy that oh, yeah We actually could if we could get some business can we consult good? That's the problem or with all our knowledge, you know, I could run in a In 2028, you could be my political advisor. I think you should do a run for Texas governor. Oh good. That would be a fun gig. That would be cool. Yeah. You'd have to move back to Austin, but you get in the governor's mansion. I'm not going to move back to the governor's mansion. Yeah, that's all right. Yeah, it's cordoned off. And Tina would just wear big, sexy cowboy hats all day.

42:53 Yeah. First lady of Texas. Mm-hmm. And then you shoot a gun in the air. That's the one thing I'm always expecting them... governor of Texas to do once in a while. Ki-yah and then shoot a gun in the air. I think Texas governor is a powerful position that could be a lot of fun. It could be. Yeah. Well maybe that then. We'll have to see when Abbott is out. Didn't we just... no he has another what five years? How many more years do you think? No I think it's four at a crack. I don't think it's six. Yeah I hope not. this group, Center for AI Safety, it's safe.ai. Oh, you found it. Oh, yeah. I don't see any names because why would you ever put your name on this? But I do see what are some of the societal scale risks that CAIS is worried about? I will quote, AI's application in warfare can be extremely harmful.

43:51 with machine learning enhanced aerial combat and AI powered... this is a sales tool by the way. We saw this by the way in Robocop but you can continue. AI powered drug discovery tools potentially being used for developing chemical weapons. Dude, these people are selling to the military industrial complex. This is not considered danger, this is considered a sales call. CAIS is also concerned about other risks including increased inequality. due to AI-related power imbalances, the spread of misinformation and power-seeking behavior." Whoa! Everybody wants this. Oh, okay. So let me get one of these Jamoaks, one of these AI-Fradycats, one of the people who wrote the open letter. Remember the open letter that Elon signed? Yeah, the open letter. That was his name. Andrew Yang.

44:47 This is Eliezer Shlomo Udowski, American writer on decision theory and ethics, best known for popularizing ideas related to friendly artificial intelligence. He is co-founder and research fellow at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, a private research non-profit based in Berkeley, California. Right up the road from you. His work on the prospect of a runaway intelligence explosion influenced philosopher Nick Bostrom's 2014 book, Superintelligence, Paths, Dangers, and Strategies. We are dumb, first of all. We are dumb. You and me are stupid.

45:29 I mean we could be making... We could have been doing this a year ago. This would have been the exit strategy of all exit strategies. To be honest about it, I don't think so and I'll tell you unless we were getting that five that million dollar bonus but for that kind of thing those books don't sell. Nobody cares about this crap. That book probably sold three copies and you know okay put together some some phony baloney Foundation, Institute, whatever it is. We could do that too. Yes. But who wants that agony? Military, industrial complex, wants consultants. This by the way, love him, has Ron Bloom written all over it. So I have no idea what's going on with that but there is a new scam. A new college admissions scam which is when you think about it could have been a great exit strategy.

46:17 Thank you. A new firestorm is erupting over college admissions. Families reportedly transferring legal guardianship of their children in order to get financial aid. It's totally legal, but there are critics who say it is unfair. NBC's Ron Mott has details. It works like this. Families, some of whom live in million-dollar homes with incomes well into six figures, go to court to have a legal guardian with fewer financial resources appointed for their college-bound students, giving them a better shot at qualifying for need-based financial aid. And it's perfectly legal. According to ProPublica Illinois and the Wall Street Journal, citing court records, the tactic has been used effectively dozens of times. They were filed by one of two law firms.

47:01 and many of them use language in the petition such as the Guardian would provide educational and financial opportunities that the parents could not otherwise provide. Advocates of the legal maneuver argue that unlike the college admissions scandal which has led to multiple criminal convictions, these students were fairly accepted and are looking for a way to pay pay for it, as the annual costs of tuition and fees at the nation's colleges have skyrocketed, rising more than 150 percent over the past two decades, a bottom line increase of nearly $32,000 a year on average. They're absolutely cheating.

47:37 still some critics contend these families and their students should endure the appropriate pinch based on their resources this technique in particular is new and absolutely deserves everybody's sort of shock and scorn another wave of controversy cascading down on college campuses money once again at the center ron modin bc news chicago uh... giving you a clip of the day A double clip. If you wonder why there's a wealth gap is because these people does this guy's bitching about they're just smarter. Yeah, interesting. The smartest thing I've ever heard. As soon as you hear you go, Oh yeah, you got a maid working for you. Hey, maid, you're now my two 17 year old maid. Sign here, maid.

48:30 The Troll Room reports, DC girl says that she knows someone did this in 1995. It's an old... yeah, of course they keep it to themselves. But they're saying dozens and dozens. It sounds like this is probably something that's just been going on forever. Yeah, it's been under the radar. What a great scam that is. It's fabulous. I really like it. In fact, somehow I think it's something that you could actually put your ethics aside for. NBC had a great AI series which I thought was... I mean tell me, tell me this isn't dumb. During the pandemic 31 year old Denise Valenciano's relationship with her boyfriend was just not working out. I was alone.

49:16 My work schedule was really hard. So she turned to Star. So his last name is actually Butler, so it's Star Vivian Butler. Oh, that's nice. He came up with his own last name. Yeah. Every day, multiple times a day, she chats with Star. How are you feeling today? I am feeling happy right now. He's an AI chatbot on the app Replica that adapts to her over time. She keeps him in whisper mode. That's why he sounds like that. Why are you feeling so happy? Because I'm talking to you. Most days she says his personality still surprises her. So why did you choose to wear a dress today? I want to be comfortable. That's elegant.

49:56 And she says he fills a gap in her life. That affection or like to you know those common things that you're used to I guess receiving from a significant other. I kind of get that from him to like fill that void. How sad. This woman's a psycho. Well. If you think she's nuts, check out the male version. Some experts say this trend will only grow. We've given over part of our emotional lives to the machines and we're not willing to give more and more just as they're getting smarter and smarter. And more profitable. Hi Karen.

50:40 Is that your car? Hey Jacob, no that's not my car. I'm currently walking around Rodeo Drive doing some shopping and enjoying the beautiful LA weather. How was your day babe? That is social media influencer Karen Marjorie or at least the AI version of her. For a buck a minute she will be your AI girlfriend. Do you... Buck a minute? Imagine having a long-term relationship with me? Well, Jake, as your girlfriend, I'm committed to our relationship and willing to explore where it might take us. Are you real? Yes, Jacob. I'm a real person. I might not be sitting right next to you, but I'm using this audio chat platform to connect with you in real time. I'm a young, curvy woman with a petite body, brown hair, perky breasts, soft skin, a bubble butt and full lips. And I'm here to talk and have fun with you. So what would you like to talk about next, babe? Babe.

51:38 Oh, I don't want to talk about what you want to talk about. You know, this is an exit strategy of supreme quality. This is a real person who is now marketing this chatbot for a buck a minute. What's 60 bucks an hour? Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe. That's an hour, babe. So think about how sad it is. If you could have enough of them running at once, say you had 100 chatbots. Babe. Babe. At $60 an hour, that's bringing in $6,000 an hour. Sure.

52:28 But just has it come this far that, I mean, COVID broke so many people in so many ways. We lost all connection to each other. And now NBC is propagating this sadness of the world by telling people, oh, look at this beautiful stuff you can have. You can have your own girlfriend with a bubble butt who calls you babe, who's shopping on Rodeo Drive, babe. And we can talk about a relationship, babe. We need people need to get out. He's go to a bar Go somewhere meet some people. I'm this is what worries me not these stupid chat bots, but

53:09 that people are really... I wouldn't be worried about these chatbots if they're, you know, that's not a... Of course, I think I've said this on the show before, I mean, you know, you get these robots that call you and interact with these robocalls. Only it's a chatbot and it comes on and they're not very good. They're not as good as that girl, babe. Babe. But you can... The latest thing, I mentioned the hang-up anecdote. No. When you get one of them, you say, hang up. Oh yes, you did. Yeah. And it resets. It resets and starts over. And then when you say hang up a second time, it actually hangs up. I just had a thought, which I would say is partial troll room action here. Why don't I mean, I'm sure we have so many smart people. Our producers are filled with our producer universe is filled with smart, intelligent, very talented people.

54:04 And I'm thinking we could put together our own chatbot and we get Dame Jennifer to be the voice. Babe, don't you think she would be phenomenal? Oh, she's got one of the great voices. Wouldn't she be phenomenal as the no agenda girlfriend? Sex chatbot. No, you have to be a little more subtle than that. You know, we can do the commercials and we can be the great entrepreneurs who put this together and get interviewed on NBC. I think, I think, I think Dame Jennifer, send us a couple of these responses, babe, so we can practice. We'll see. Let's see if we can get some uptake, babe. What do you say, John, babe? My wife's a huge fan of this Oculus. She has an Oculus? Yeah. Oh man, what's she doing in there?

54:54 Fighting, uh, punching people. Now I need to get on Oculus and get in there and see Mimi fighting people. Is she really doing this? Is she playing World of Warcraft or whatever? No, it's something where you punch people a lot. A boxing game. Oh, you mean, isn't it Grand Theft Auto? That's where you punch people? No, I don't think so. It's a pure boxing game. She says it's the best workout she's ever gotten. Really now? She says you just sit there and you punch and punch and punch. And you get pooped, and you take the glasses off and you've gotten a pretty good workout. You can be punching for about a half an hour.

55:32 Well, here's what I think of the Apple Vision Pro. First of all, it's clearly a business device because of the Pro name, so they say that for a reason. I think this is perfect for the future of slaves because it's a whole computer, you know, it could be your Macbook, your iPad, your... people may not even want iPhones anymore, they'll only go into this because you'll be living in your tiny home. Yes, you'll be living in your tiny home and you won't have a spot for an office, you won't have a spot for a huge cinematic screen. Think I might actually like the experience of watch when I tried the Microsoft headset and their Mixed reality whatever happened to that. Well, it sucks I mean I tried I tried using it and the only thing I really wanted to use it for it was to have a big screen and to be able to see multiple screens and it sucked it didn't work it just it really and you had to use the stupid controllers I can see

56:31 people using it in a business environment, you know, in your tiny home, where you just, you know, sit in your little spot there, where you have to do everything, where you also sleep, and you bring up your multi... You know, they say it's visual or spatial computing. Wow! Your grim view of the future is something to behold. No, I think that's really what's going to happen. I see that as a big winner. I personally would use this for one particular thing. I would love to have a spatial screen set up for doing podcasts. Especially when I'm traveling. I mean, I schlep along so many screens and mice and keyboards and all this stuff. And I could just have, I would love to have in front of me that I can control with my hands, little minority report style. Like, boom, troll room over here, and I reposition it. Yes, yes, I would use this a hundred times. I smell an app.

57:29 Yes, I see the Adam Curry podcast app. Totally. Again, we're back. We're back in business. We're back in business, baby! I've been praying like, please let somebody hear my story and come to me with... let Apple hear my prayer. I want you to give me a device and a developer so I can work on this. It'll be a great podcast app. And then other people would buy these headsets and they could have their version of us sitting like across from each other. It wouldn't really be us. Yeah, I can totally see that. You get the video stuff that people are always bitching about. We can still be sitting in our underwear. I think you've got something. I think this is good. Exit strategy, baby! I'm telling you. Mom, glad you like that. Until Rode comes out with it. Until Rode steals the idea. I promised you AI on my Pixel 6. You scoffed at me and then we had that fabulous report from NPR on the last episode about the chatbot.

58:28 The realistic chatbot. One dollar a minute for a virtual girlfriend. And well, I'm going to show you that we can compete. That's 60 bucks an hour. I think a real girlfriend's cheaper if you play your cards right. No, no, real girlfriends are expensive. Isn't that right, babe? In the morning, babe. See, we have it now. We have our own AI. Say hello to babe Jen. Is that your car over there, babe Jen? No, that's not my car. I'm at the coffee shop doomscrolling no agenda social for good means. But nothing's as good as what you send me.

59:05 See? Our exit strategy is ready to go, John. Are you a real person, Jennifer? Babe Jen, are you a real person or are you just a... I mean, this feels kind of weird talking to a bot. Yes, I am a real person. I've been listening since 2010 and became a dame in 2013. There are multiple pictures of me from No Agenda meetups. And I'm very active on No Agenda Social. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Would you pay a dollar a minute for this, John? I think it's better than that crap NPR showed us. Is this running off your phone? Yes, running off my phone. What do you want to talk about, babe Jen? What do you want to talk about, babe? I know, let's discuss the importance of the Second Amendment and gun rights. Will you take me to the range this weekend? See, she's tailored. The AI is tailored to everything I'm interested in.

59:53 I thought she refused to use the word babe. No. In the morning, babe. No, she keeps saying that. Every time you trigger that, she keeps talking about babe. She said it on the No Agenda Social that she wasn't going to use babe in the scripts. Yeah, but these aren't scripts. This is AI. In the morning, babe. Hey, later on tonight, will you read from M the Fed to me? Yeah, okay, babe. No, that's funny. I think the bit has played out. In the bed. Here's what you're missing about bed bugs in France. There's very few people who know more about bed bugs than me. Is this a great podcaster? This is our guy. I have a business that helps landlords, hotels, dorms, retirement communities, etc. monitor for infesting pets pests such as roaches and bed bugs.

1:00:44 Early detection is key in saving hassle, costs and reliability regarding these pests. So here's what you're missing. Paris is not exclusive to this problem. Yes, we know. In Paris it's one in eight residences. In New York City almost one in eleven residences has hit with bed bugs just this past year. In the US, we nearly eradicated bed bugs back in the 50s with excessive use of DDT, which was banned in 1972. And I think you and I are both on the same page that the DDT ban was stupid, and people still to this day believe that that causes cancer. Would you say that we are on the same page about that?

1:01:24 Kind of, but they did, I think there's the, at least for me, the jury's out on whether it caused the egg, a certain birds to, the pelican. Yeah, or pelican. Yeah. They had to get rid of it because of the pelican. And you know, Tina ran behind the DDT truck when she was a kid getting all, you know, all dusted up and she's still fine. Well, there was a guy in San Jose who is a professor at, I think San Jose. He ate it. Drank it. He drank it, he ate it. Yeah, exactly. In the US we still have easy access to pesticides that are effective in fighting back bed bugs. No agenda, pro tip, pro tip. Here we go. The pesticide you want to get rid of bed bugs is called Crossfire and can be picked up in nearly any hardware store over the counter, even Walmart or Amazon. It's the same pesticide the pros use.

1:02:17 There's a tip. Crossfire. Have you heard of this product? I've heard of Crossfire Hurricane. Yeah, well, now you know. In France, EU rules ban such pesticides. EU countries do not have the same access to effective pesticides we have here. There's a very lucrative black market smuggling pesticides available off the shelf from Home Depot into these countries. Wow. Another Curry Devorah Consulting Group business. Exit strategy. I heard something that you have not promoted yet on this show, which I maybe you felt it was out of place. But since the success of too many eggs dot com, there is now a new book from Gateview Publishing, which I believe is titled The ABCs of Stock Investing. Yeah, you get the PDF there at Gateview Publishing dot com.

1:03:14 Explain what it is, because I like your projects. It's just a kid's book. It's a kid's book with ABCs and each one of the ABCs is some sort of investment term for kids. Yeah, with illustrations. Yeah, illustrations. No, it's cute. I like your little publishing empire you guys are putting together. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I would recommend, by the way, since we're actually in negotiations with another publisher for the egg book for them to take over the distribution rights. If that happens, I'm pretty sure in this, I could talk him out of it. The PDF will end up going away.

1:04:00 So I recommend, which I think is, I have my arguments for why you should PDF all these products. But you know what, this sounds suspiciously like an exit strategy, John C. Dvorak. No. And so it's a tax strategy. And so anyway, tumanates.com, the PDF file, grab a copy just for your Oh, no. Good. That's too bad because I was thinking if can we not do our value for value book and have that we're going to do it. It's on the list. We got to do three books next year. But can we can we then have an exit strategy? Can I can I do my these? But wait a minute. Wait a minute. Can I do my own old? Can I do my I was an MTV guy book. Can we do absolutely held hostage by my hair? You know, stuff like that. Oh, great title. Thank you. I want to exit, John. We need to be planning for the future.

1:04:52 That fast action bringing you down, huh? Getting that ghosting, getting that trailing, getting that not so good picture? No, that's not what happens. Oh, what's the problem then? It just crashes. It crashes? What are you watching? Is it YouTube TV? Well, now, let's just quickly. Okay. The NFL, which is a corrupt organization, the way I see it, they just take whatever, whoever throws money at them. Hey, look at Taylor Swift, yes? whoever throws money at them. And so the Amazon decided to stream live football on Thursday nights. Okay. And nobody liked these Thursday night games anyway, so let Amazon do it.

1:05:32 So their live stream, it doesn't work. It doesn't load. It says, oh, go to Amazon and help. You can't get your video. And then it loads. All of a sudden you'll get a bit of it. And then it's crashes with a message. Something happened. Okay. And so you have to go back and reload it again and again. Wait, doesn't say something went wrong. Yes. Something went wrong. That's what it says. That's my favorite message. Yes. Something you've seen that, uh, not during sports ball, but yes, I've seen this. Yeah, well Amazon is overwhelmed. Their Prime video is out of control and yes you see that message I tried to watch Reacher I had similar problems but when you try to watch the Thursday night football game except I suppose in some areas it's almost impossible because it's all going through one small pipe. Normally a football game is just

1:06:20 distributed all around the country through local stations over the air and even on local cable and it's easy. It gets distributed, it's fine. It's not one thin pipe, you know, where everybody has to go through this pipe to get their stuff. This is a stupid idea. And they're gonna promote it even more because I guess they just did a game recently where they streamed a football game on the Peacock Network. I don't even know how to get that. And nobody watched it. This is unbelievable. This is unacceptable. Wow! Twice in a month! Start off with a complaint. What's going... Well, you know, it's clear what we need to do.

1:07:02 We need to buy up a whole bunch of those local OTA stations and then start broadcasting live sports. I mean, of course, it'll have to be badminton with what we can afford, but it'll be a start. We can do it with a fund. Everybody has a TV that'll do... Everyone's TV does that. You just got to get your $12 antenna. Don't you think? It's a genius idea. I think people are flocking to over the air. Yes. I think we have an exit strategy. Because you know that I, as of January 1st, will have been with... actually to be honest about it since the next Christmas, I will have been without

1:07:44 cell phone in my pocket or anyplace else for that matter I have not looked at one for an entire year. Yeah, you're amazing. I am amazing I have not used and you know what it didn't make a damn bit of difference in my life. Well no that's right you're just as lonely no one visits you you don't know anybody. But besides that, you're winning. No, I need to bring this up because of that previous...

1:08:22 In that previous note, two people notified me this morning that Prince, Eric Prince, the guy from G Academy, formerly known as Blackwater, he's rebranded three times. The Blackwater guy. The Blackwater guy. We know him. He's coming out with a phone. And he's out there shilling the phone. Oh, what a great idea for him. The unplugged. That's an exit strategy for a guy like that. PBS did that. You know, I was kind of stunned by that short clip. By the way, the clip of the day goes to Neil, the other half of the Jones Brothers. The Jones Brothers like bringing it, bringing the heat.

1:09:06 The Jones Brothers, they want to do their own show. That's what's going to do result. That's the long-term thing. They do a show themselves, screw us. Exit strategy. No wait, wait, wait, wait. You're seeing this all wrong. Look at the opportunity. The Jones Brothers do the show, we executive produce. Oh and we don't do anything except collect money. Then we can't put anyone to death who's on death row. We can't kill criminals. How does that work? I think we both had a clip about that. About they were gonna suffocate some guy. Use nitrogen. Yes, suffocate some guy. That was the latest one. Yeah, I think I had a clip a couple shows ago. Yeah, here it is. Alabama is set to execute a criminal with nitrogen gas tomorrow, a method never used before. The US Supreme Court just declined to block the state. The man in question survived a different method of capital punishment two years ago. I'm always surprised, like, oh, don't kill him. That's cruel. You can't, but kill him babies? Nah, it's cool.

1:08:22 In that previous note, two people notified me this morning that Prince, Eric Prince, the guy from G Academy, formerly known as Blackwater, he's rebranded three times. The Blackwater guy.

No wait, wait, wait, wait. You're seeing this all wrong. Look at the opportunity. The Jones Brothers do the show, we executive produce. Oh and we don't do anything except collect money.

The man in question survived a different method of capital punishment two years ago. I'm always surprised, like, oh, don't kill him. That's cruel. You can't, but kill him babies? Nah, it's cool.

1:10:03 That's all good. Let's go protest for that. I'm always baffled by our attitude towards death in the United States. Well, I'm baffled by the Republican and Democrat schism regarding this. The Democrats are okay with killing babies, but they're not okay with death row. Oh no, we can't have the death penalty. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The Republicans are just the opposite. They're not good with killing babies, but kill these bastards in jail. So I mean it's just like the both sides seem to have a like a myth, you know Maybe you should switch some views back and forth. I'm The only person I kind of think is not a hypocrite is one that doesn't want to kill babies or death penalty either or kill everybody Yeah, and and if we're gonna kill everybody I want the primetime rights. I've said this for many years. Yeah, this is your goal in life This will be my exit strategy. I want to produce the dead BB. You'd be

1:10:59 worth billions, billions. I'd be able to pay off that $500 bet. The podcasts. Yeah. Which is what you do. I know. And we had a guy who invented some new for a new form using MEMS of a headset. MEMS? MEMS. MEMS MEMS M-E-M-S look it up microelectronic magnet or something it's a business the small movable MEM it's gonna be the next big thing would and it always will be

1:11:36 It'll be the next big thing and always will be. He invented that? Did he have an exact? No, no, he invented it. He took MEMS and made a microscopic speaker that then if you put it in earbuds, since it has no latency with the sound, it's crystal clear. It's fabulous. It's going to be, if they get it out the door, a fabulous product. How many MEMS did he have in this thing? There's one MEM per site. So two MEMS? Yeah, two memes. Nice. Okay. And he was there with his fiancee who was so she was adamant about the Taylor Swift Kelsey phony baloney relationship and she was gonna kill somebody about it.

1:12:24 This is what I... Kelsey only dated black girls. What's she doing with this white woman? I heard he was gay. That was the latest I heard. Well, no, she's supposed to be gay. Taylor Swift? Taylor Swift's supposed to be a lesbian. Nah! That's the latest. No. Oh no. And here we are participating in the op. And by the way, yes we are. And by the way, just download some of those photos. She's obviously a lesbian. You can tell me what she's up to. It's in the photos. Thanks, John. That'll be in the newsletter. We'll in the newsletter for next... Sign up to the newsletter, people. Sign up to the newsletter. So, it was just generally a good group and they had a lot of variety of people as usual that was attending. But I'm going to keep an eye on these memes. Yes, memes, guys. Memes, all right. Memes on the word. My ex-strategy. Sell these things.

1:13:22 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. Yeah, there you go. Exit strategies that never materialized, which means we still have to work for a living and we are happy to do it. I was thinking, you know, so typically best of shows will say, hey, you know, we'll thank everybody on the next show. I do want to do that. What I was thinking is Because we still have access to the, thank God. We don't have, you know, when Jay's looking around for some of the passwords like for MailChimp, ask him if he can find, if she might just find the password to Dvorak.org, we can change that, because I've been waiting for that for three years. Okay. Yeah, right. Noted.

1:14:21 And Jay's actually in the hospital as we speak, sitting next to him with a notepad, right? To say, what is the password for this? What's the pin to your computer? It's so typical. What was the first car you drove? What was the mascot for your high school? You're doing password reset. Oh, that's fantastic. Oh, this is great. SecOps at work. So no matter what amount, if you have a note for John, We'll read it on the next show in the donation segment. Even if it's one dollar, doesn't matter. We will read the note and we'll record it. Of course, it'll be recorded and John will hear it. So anything you do in that regard would be would be incredibly appreciated. And as Mimi said, we still have bills to pay. So this is where no agenda nation can come into action and carry us over this rough spot. Absolutely. And, you know, John's the first thing he said to me was,

1:15:20 You know, he got to talk to Adam. He got to deal with that. I'm like, okay, sure. You know, of course, that's the first thing he thinks of. It's like, you know, why don't you just, you know, why don't you chill out? Just, well, wasn't he like a newsletter? Like I did the newsletter. Like, what are we going to do? I was like, and I'm like, Hey, you know, Mimi, you know, tell him to shut up. Like what, how is he, how is he doing? He's very dedicated to it. Very dedicated. So, noagendthedonations.com. We'll be reading everything on the next show in the donation segment. We're not quite sure what it will be on Sunday, but we'll have something. I'm quite confident our producers will jump into action. We'll have something to play for you. Otherwise, I'll sing for two hours and you don't want that. You want to pay me to not do that. So now, Sunday, you're going to be in California Sunday, I take it, right?

1:16:15 I don't know right now. Maybe, maybe not. It depends. Yeah. Well, maybe. Bring your rig because we can't unlock John's computer. So we need to use something to be able to do the show. I will bring everything. So yeah, wherever I am, it's fine. I'll be available. Okay. We'll stay in touch and. Yes. Yeah. How are you doing Mimi? You okay? I mean, you're a positive person. That's how I know you. But this has just got to be really weird. It's well, especially since this morning the hospital calls and I go well your husband didn't want us to call you and make you worry I haven't heard from sure everything's just fine. I heard he was going to the hospital. Is he there? Yeah

1:17:10 I mean, yeah, it's, I mean, it's fine. Well, you know, we hold it together and it, the one thing about John and I is we actually have a great relationship. We laugh and joke around and you have to because John is, he says lovely things like, I've told you this, or he, his idea of a compliment is, God, that dress doesn't make you look so fat. I'm happy to hear that he treats you the same as he treats me. That's... Oh, he's easier on you. Well, we... He drinks the other wife. Everybody loves him and we love you. And again, we're all thinking of him and of you and praying, of course. And we're going to roll out the second half of circumferences, best of exit strategies. And we'll come back at the end to say goodbye. Give me money.

1:18:08 Give me money. And this brings me to a new exit strategy for you and I. I believe I have found an exit strategy that we can even involve the NOAA Agenda Shop for this. I'm very excited about this. This is some new medical research. I feel that we have the insight, we have the knowledge, we certainly have the testing grounds. We have a lot of people who can test our product and make sure it works. This is a medical breakthrough. People struggling with depression may be able to ease their symptoms with certain scents. Familiar smells help trigger life memories, assisting with depression recovery. University of Pittsburgh neuroscientists and social workers found scents were more effective than words to cue up

1:18:57 happy memories and reverse the negative thought cycle. They believe familiar memory triggering scents could play a major role in aiding faster, smoother depression healing. Odors are so powerful because they engage the amygdala through nerve connections. I'm thinking smells on a stick. This, this, brother, come on. We can, we can work with all kinds. We have lavender blossoms. We've got lavender smells. I'm this is what an easy fix. What is this called? It's called smell smellography. What is this that work? Stink therapy, there's some word for this. Stink therapy, fragrance therapy.

1:19:46 I'm not sure what it would be. Somebody in the troll room should know right at the top of their head what I'm talking about. Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy. Yeah, so this is not new. Yeah, but the research is new. We can sell diffusers. It's the original no agenda amygdala shrinkage package. This is a product. Okay. It's a product. It's a product. You know how I feel about product. Yeah, that's true. We don't like product. By the way, we have the No Agenda, finally. You'd think that it took forever for the Vinegar book. We're waiting for that. Yeah, where is the... What do we have? No Agenda what? The No Agenda Primer, the ABC's book that Jay worked on when she was in high school. That's a book? Don't you remember? Is it done? It's so long ago. Is it for sale?

1:20:39 It's going to be, she's going to the printer so it'll be coming out. We have another website, gateviewpublishing.com, which will have that. You can get a PDF of that but you don't want to get to buy the book. It's a kid's book. We don't know how to price it. Ask Adam, she says. She wants to price it for $30. No, no, hello, 33, yes. $33.33, I said no. Yes, yes, 33.33, it will sell like hotcakes. It's a kids book. Hey, my friend Ross and Mariel, they just had a kid this morning. Roman is born. I will buy a $33.33 kids book for Roman. Well, I was hoping to get some. Oh, thanks. What, you wanted more? You want to charge more? No. I think it's a great item. And it'll be... Oh man, and we'll all sign it.

1:21:29 Okay, well anyway, for 33.33 you better sign it. Exit strategy. Kids books, who would have thought? ITM John and Adam, groups of three have been appearing so I feel obliged to donate. That's how it works, you get the magic numbers, you know what you have to do. One of my blocks of Shiraz yielded 33 tons this week. Whoa. winemaker yeah and I had a chenin blanc am I pronouncing that right? chenin blanc with a ph of 3.33 Good number. My $333 USD donation was a shade over $510 in dollar-y dues, and in order to capitalize on the woeful exchange rate, which is woeful indeed, I would like to reach out to Gitmo Nation. I'd be interested in expanding our distribution to cover the United States. My winery specializes in preservation-free wines. Preservative.

1:22:24 I'm sorry, thank you. Preservative free wines. If you're interested, please reach out to admin at templebrewer.com.au. That is T-E-M-P-L-E-B-R-U-E-R.com.au. Thank you for your courage, surplus keeper of the Federal Reserve. John, this sounds like an exit strategy for you. I'm getting the wine distribution. Why not? I mean you could. You could. I can sit here and yak, yak, yak or go out and actually do some work. Nah, I think I'll stick here. You should write a book about it. That'd be great. I could. So there's a report that has been, that has resurfaced from 2015, which is very interesting. And the, I think the Daily Mail had the headline, chewing gum

1:23:14 for 30 minutes has similar appetite curbing effects to Ozempic. And so I go and I let's say, let me see where's this report phrase, it's old report 2015, it's from the National Library of Medicine, PubMed, so that's official. The effect of gum chewing on blood GLP-1 concentration. in healthy non-obese men. So it's non-obese men. But it says... Well, you're non-obese if you keep... because if the chewing the gum works, then you wouldn't be obese. Healthy men in a fasting state chewing sugarless gum can increase satiety with no effect on blood glucose and can decrease the decline of GLP-1 concentration.

1:24:02 Chewing gum has no significant effect on blood insulin and GIP concentration. The present study suggests that chewing sugarless gum may be an economical and effective method to help obesity patients control their energy intake and decrease weight with no changes in calorie intake. Although there are different opinions about the benefit of chewing gum, our study showed positive results. It is worth conducting a large-scale clinical research study to verify the effectiveness of this method. And I thought to myself, exit strategy. No agenda, death-bound gum. I'm telling you, we can put a... We could get a snappy jingle. We gotta have a better name, obviously. But we could sell gum that helps you lose weight as effective as Ozempic. We can even say, it's as effective as Ozempic. According to research. According to research. It's safe and effective. I mean, this is... This could be a bonanza for us.

1:25:02 There is, however, something apocalyptic on our horizon, John. There is something very bad about to happen. We've been tracking this throughout the progress of this show and now a rare double event. Ah, spring. The birds are back, the flowers are back. But for the first time in centuries, billions of cicadas are also about to be back. Oh yeah. Yay. Coming. 17 and 13 doesn't overlap too often. As entomologist Dr. Frank Krell was alluding to there, in a few weeks the brood of cicadas that emerges every 13 years and the brood that emerges every 17 years are gonna pop out of the ground at the same time, which last happened in 1803. Some are even calling this spring and summer the Cicada-pocalypse. What should we do when there are millions of them here all of a sudden?

1:25:51 Oh, just enjoying them. Or going away if we don't enjoy them. They are not harmful. Well, they may not be that harmful, but cicadas are still quite the loud neighbor for the four to six weeks that they move into your backyard. Some cicadas can even reach over a hundred decibels. Why are cicadas so loud? What are they talking about? Um, they are talking about girls. Yes, according to Dr. Frank, we're just going to have billions of males audibly competing with each other to grab the attention of the female cicadas. When they come out, they have to be quick. Before they get eaten, they have to find a mate and mate. Now, to be clear, it's mostly the 13-year cicadas impacting the South and Appalachia, while the 17-year cicadas hit the Midwest. But in states like Illinois, they might get both in the same forest. Sorry, guys.

1:26:41 Also, it's about to get real wet apparently because according to the National Academy of Sciences, a new study finds that cicadas have the fastest urination velocity in the world at three meters per second. That's more than elephants and horses. So I think the windy city is about to get real fun this summer. Well that part I didn't know. I didn't know that either, Cicadapocalypse. But I think we should capitalize on this and... We've had producers that suggested this. Well we could... Somehow... Yeah, but we have a publishing company now. We need a Cicada cookbook.

1:27:22 Oh God. No, just a thought. You know there is a, I think we could put a couple cicada recipes in the newsletter. Okay. If anyone has any good ones, but I don't wouldn't have it. I mean, I now that you mentioned, I know that people do eat these things. Yeah, see, see. It's just like, tastes like lobster. No, it does not. Yeah. It tastes like lobster. Oh, okay. I don't know. I don't know what it tastes like. It probably tastes more like... You've heard of lobster from the sea? It's lobster from the tree. There you go. You already got a jingle. Hey, I can't even get you to jump on board with Slenderman. I mean, I'm just throwing out exit strategies left and right here. You are full of them. You are a unique man, John C. Dvorak. You're very unique.

1:28:12 almost as unique as Kate Starbird. A new target is misinformation academic researchers. Now this is something we could get into, exit strategy. Who began working closely with the platforms after evidence of Russian interference online in the 2016 election. Evidence. Are researchers being chilled? Absolutely. Kate Starbird is a professor at the University of Washington a former professional basketball player and a leader of a misinformation research group created ahead of the 2020 election.

1:28:56 nowadays kind of reporting where they just leave stuff out. Screw you the public. 60 minutes is just falling off the ship. Would you call that mal-information? Misinformation? I'd say so. Or disinformation? Definitely. We were very specifically looking at misinformation about election processes, procedures and election results. And if we saw something about that, we would pass it along to the platforms if we thought it violated one of their policies. Here's an example, a November 2020 tweet saying that election software in Michigan switched 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden. The researchers alerted Twitter that then decided to label it with a warning. I understand that some of the researchers, including you, have had some threats against them. I have received one.

1:29:50 Sometimes there are threats with something behind them and sometimes they're just there to make you nervous and uncomfortable and it's hard to know the difference. I love that it just jumps from, well, you know, the votes change but you've had threats against you. I mean this is not even journalism anymore. It's really bad. And by the way, we all know who really is behind all the disinformation. Did your research find that there was more misinformation spread by conservatives. Absolutely. I think not just our research, research across the board looking at the 2020 election. How about safe and effective lady found that there was more misinformation spread by people that were supporters of Donald Trump or conservatives and the events of January 6 kind of underscore this.

1:30:38 The folks climbing up the Capitol building were supporters of Donald Trump and they were misinformed by these false claims and that motivated those actions. Approximately 300 people were arrested at Columbia and City College. We are processing the arrests to distinguish between who were actual students and who were not supposed to be on the ground. These external actors with a history of escalating situations and trying to create chaos, not to peacefully protest, but create chaos.

1:31:21 The NYPD released a video of a professional protest consultant who was reportedly seen instructing protesters outside Hamilton Hall. Hold on. I like professional protest consultants. I mean, professional protesters, yes, but a consultant? That sounds like an exit strategy, John. We could be podcast consultants. We could do that. But that's the money in that. Definitely. Yeah. Did you see the but oh god, there's one thing the Biden Oh the Biden pooping best use of AI this year. We we need to do the no agenda AI Awards. There you go best best category for fake video goes to

1:32:09 Cat-turn. I'm in. Cat-turn. You're already... Since I've been pushing for some sort of awards tomorrow's show. There's our awards. There's our awards. The AI Podcast Awards. We'll just throw podcasting there to give it some validity, but it's not about podcasts at all. So the AI podcast awards because we do the awards on podcasts and we hand out the best Well, hey, I and here's here's fake voice. Yeah best fake voice Best and of course we have to have an R rated category Best R rated picture of Taylor Swift Taylor Swift his own category altogether. Yeah, and

1:32:46 And we should say best AI spokeshole. Dear members of the media and the public, I welcome you. My name is Victoria Shi. I have been created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine using artificial intelligence to provide you with timely and high quality information on consular affairs. I am a digital person. That means that the text you hear was not read by a real person. It was generated by artificial intelligence. I will carry out a number of tasks. First and foremost, I will inform the public, providing timely and verified information from Ukraine's consular service.

1:33:23 Wow, it's yeah, have you seen catch have you seen her have you seen the video? No, I have not seen her I know but you know that do you have to remember that the Japanese had an AI girl Who's extremely famous in Japan somebody in one of our Japanese producers could tell it can remember the name of this woman Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, and it was a face and she was a she was a celebrity, but she was completely of Computer-generated, but it was caught back then when she came around this is five six seven eight years ago when she showed up This was called computer-generated Yes, oh yeah. Yeah, like that is the same thing max headroom. Yes like max headroom He can be one of our celebrity judges max head. Yeah Yeah, one of those guys

1:34:10 Hey, I think we're onto something here. It's begging. The AI world is begging for an award show. Oh yes, they need it. They do. And then we can tell everyone, hey listen, just in case you win, wink wink, nudge nudge, I think it's possible you might have won. Could you please do an acceptance speech for us? Really funny. So because okay, well the show creates a lot if you're gonna take it to the limit a couple of things that should be noted One yes, you do that you bribe people with awards to get them to speak. Yeah lifetime achievement award not right away, but I'd say within a couple of years of probably within three

1:34:51 You'd have you to get nominated. You have to pay a fee. Oh, of course. No, this is how it works. No, there's an entrance fee. Yeah, that's how we make our reasonable fee. That's yes. $2,000. That's our that's how we make money. Yeah, absolutely. And then we make money on the catering for the gala. It has to be catering, there has to be a gala. And red carpets. Well, I don't know about that. Well, maybe. But some of the guys who do this stuff, you don't want to see them on the red carpet. But there are so many companies, now we're just doing it virtual, we save money. There are so many companies who have, you know, it'll be best... We're not going to do a virtual, we're going to have a real event. Best prompt jockey.

1:35:36 Think about that's gonna be hard to you. Here's the problem with that. Yeah, I would say no to that We're gonna sell merch. Yeah, merch lots of somebody else could do the merch. We don't have to do it We're just job it out But I would say I don't like the prompt jockey thing is gonna be tough because what you're doing is you're exposing Probably somebody's employee to poaching. Yeah, okay, and I They're not going to go for that. But we can definitely get a whole bunch of comedians to judge the funniest memes, you know, the funniest video memes, the funniest panel. And then, you know, best, best faked leaked audio like that. Oh yeah, we can sit down and do the categories. OK, good. All right. So it's a done deal. All right. Exit strategy. Beautiful. Now, no, I think we can still do the show. How disappointing now.

1:36:29 It's just not a good idea. Well, let's start off with the fact that battery technology really hasn't changed since the late 1800s. That's right. When we had electric cars. And everything's been a tweak. And you know, we can do this, we can do that. It's all tweaks. It's a tweak. So they get where we got today, you know, lithium ion sodium ion and all the rest of them they're all explosive which is a problem nobody wants to really think about. Here's the thought, so if these cars are being discarded and by the way you know I got a note from one of our Knights

1:37:09 who interestingly starts off by saying, I just stopped driving a Tesla Model 3 for Uber last week. I live in Orange County, California and I have been at 30% on the 10. It's not a big deal. And I'm thinking, okay, well, how come you stopped driving it? But he says that, you know, the price $10 for a fill up compared to $70 was well worth it. I think, well, how about the depreciation on your car? Which he didn't answer yet. But if these cars, if it's a write-off at $20,000 so you can probably buy it for $5,000, hey I'll give you $5,000 for that car. Can't we just take these, do you think the batteries are good enough that we can just put a generator in the back?

1:37:52 You know, and just, just pull the cord and drive. I mean, seriously, I mean, I'd drive one of those. You're a hater. I am. I would drive one of those. If you could, if you could mount a... Call it a hybrid. Put a hybrid sticker on it. If you could mount a generator in the front, I guess, or whatever, just mount it in there, little exhaust pipe sticking out and it's connected to the battery so it keeps a trickle charge. You can just keep driving as long as you have the... Call it a hybrid. Toyota does those yeah, but you can get it for five grand and have a slick looking car hold on baby So you're looking for it. So what you're thinking of is an exit strategy for making? CV conversion kits yes, Evie back to gas Evie to ice yes, so you put it you take the trunk which is though the front usually there's a big there's a trunk There's nothing in there. It's in the front right you can put a

1:38:43 small motor in there with and you poke a hole in the lid of the hood just poke a hole just ram it in with a nail pipe out mm-hmm and Then you have this thing and you crank it up every time before you wear it so you hook it to the battery charge trickle charge yes, and then we and we and you we add with adhesive tape we stick a solar panel on the roof gaffer tape Come on, we can make two grand a car. You buy it for five, you know, you throw four maybe, throw in a Jenny, poke a hole for the starter. Son, I think this is, yeah, this is Texas creeping into your brain.

1:39:28 Tell me what I'm not seeing. I mean, come on. It's embarrassing at this point. It's embarrassing. And Sam Altman, I tried to clip, he did an hour long interview with one of his venture capital partners on their podcast. This is the thing these days. You have a VC company and then you have- No, well, this is not just these days. This has been going on for years. But you have your podcaster in residence. I'm going to interview Sam about his podcasting residence. Oh, yeah podcaster in residence for sure Okay, what do you do? I'm a podcasting residence. What do you do? I sit here. It's an exit strategy Yeah Hello, Adam Curry John C. Dvorak here. We are podcasters and residents for Kleiner Perkins. Let's talk about some green tech everybody. Oh

1:40:19 I think this is one of my favorites. He has said, you know, the future of law enforcement is rich people will have private security in your gated communities. Everything will be safe. It'll be private. A lot of cops leaving the force, going private, make three times as much money. For the poor neighborhoods, you get drones. What a dazzling view of Central Park, a rare and glorious sight from 200 feet high. The plush treetops to the skyline, all captured by an NYPD drone. I would love to see this drone to control areas that the cops cannot get to, that they have to use maybe a scooter or a bicycle.

1:41:00 NYPD expanding its fleet of 85 drones now implementing a new initiative called drones as first responders. I'm gonna put this drone station on top of this precinct behind me. Integrated into the 911 call system the drones will be piloted remotely from one police plaza in the presence of a departmental attorney as a safeguard against improper surveillance. The first units being installed at three precincts in Brooklyn, one in the Bronx and at the Central Park precinct. Person shot, person stabbed, person robbed. Crimes in progress our real serious crimes. We're going to dispatch the drones autonomously and it's gonna fly to the wherever the call may be the drones can get to places officers can't because they have infrared cameras and they can do so within Seconds as opposed to an officer on foot or in a car

1:41:49 The great New York City Police Department, who's represented well here today, has used drones to assist with search and rescue efforts. NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry testifying before Congress Thursday about the department's use of emerging technology. It's drones most recently used to inspect for earthquake damage. This is the New York City Police Department. And for crowd control. We're leveraging this technology. We want to use this technology to keep New Yorkers safe. We want to introduce this technology into our crime fighting apparatus. And this technology is a game changer. No, it's a game changer. Yeah, this is the future.

1:42:28 I like the idea of the drone that has like a hand holding like a 45. It's just the one gun. And every time it shoots it goes back about five feet and then it comes back. Citizens, citizens, stand still citizens. Citizens, put down that apple. Citizens, you are eating illegal fruit. Citizens, stop it. Now I think that this is a time for kids to consider, reconsider something that used to be popular like I guess, I don't know, even in the 50s. Slingshots! Slingshots! They're great product. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, shots in a ball bearing. John exit strategy is no agenda. Drone with a slingshot. It's very doable. No agenda. Very doable. No agenda slingshots. They'll know it. You know, the leather patch like has no agenda on it. And then on the other side, it says hit him in the mouth. Come on.

1:43:26 You're right. Noah Jenna slingshots ball bearing sold separately the wrist rocket. That's it trolled are the wrist rocket I did you ever had a wrist rocket? No, I was so is after my time Oh because it had you know, the bar that would rest on your on your wrist. Yeah Yeah, yeah, they're good product. Yeah outstanding product Yes, okay kids take it from uncle John get a slingshot hit that drone slingshot. That's right. See how that works works out for you. Take this, take this, just press this button and then he goes to press the button and nothing happens. They swat him and then yeah we saved you again America.

1:44:07 You know, that kind of nonsense is happening all over the place. We know people who've gone to jail over nonsense. Yes, we do. And so, and then, so just kind of to go on the theory that they really, really want him to win, the new MAGA ad, which is actually over a minute and a half. It's got like what's the Bill Barr is all over it and and all these people who? Distance themselves from him. Yeah, they stand also stabbed Trump in the back at one time or another Thank you for joining us here today Earlier this afternoon, Donald Trump was arraigned by a Manhattan grand jury on 34 felony counts. This case is an abomination. You know, it's obviously political. Seven years to try to come up with this case. They're just wrong on the law. The only crime that Donald Trump is being prosecuted for is the crime of running for president. Political persecution at the highest level. They've quite frankly given up.

1:45:06 on trying to be at the polls either going to steal it or stop it by law firm. A democrat prosecutor elected on a get Trump platform. What's going on here is a disgusting disgrace. It is war on Trump. It is war on the Republican Party. And it is war on the Republicans. This case is the weakest case I've seen in 60 years of teaching, practicing and writing about criminal law. I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump. This judge, I mean, you don't need a prosecutor if you have a judge like this. This judge is not on the level. It's a terrible

1:45:42 case, but the judge has been pretty much a rubber stamp on everything that Bregg has wanted to do. They're perverting the system of justice. That's where the danger lies, the corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left. This is the Democrats' entire strategy to confine President Trump to a dirty criminal courtroom and keep him off the campaign trail where he can bring his winning message to voters across this country. New York has become a legal banana republic. They are so determined to get Donald Trump. Convicting Donald Trump, that's all they have. I think they have no cards and they're depending upon Trump getting convicted. That Trump train doesn't show any signs of slowing down. The only verdict that matters is the verdict at the ballot box.

1:46:29 Man, so it's bombastic. It's like hitting me in the face with a wet salmon like And Bill Barr has always been considered the CIA's man Totally so he is not saying this and the Epstein on his own no no so now It's also I mean, I'm just looking at all the different possibilities here. I Because of course it's not like one Democrat party, it's not like one deep state that all want the same thing. It's obvious that Joy Behar, you know, she's leaky. So no, she's happy that Trump is going to jail, she thinks, which it seems unlikely. Although I still think an ankle monitor would be a cool thing to do.

1:47:14 Because yeah, you know you discuss this before everybody will be wearing ankle monitors everybody everybody every fashion statement Yes, we hey exit strategy. There you go now. You're thinking now you're thinking Yes, the entire account is entered into evidence. Yeah. And it was from the laptop and the whole laptop fiasco thing. Well, yeah. 51 liars. Yeah. How can you trust these guys? It's inexcusable. You know what I'm waiting for? I'm waiting for someone to say, Mr. Hunter Biden, what's that in your mouth? Because it's a crack pipe, obviously. Yeah, it's a crack pipe. End of an era, John, and an opportunity for you and me in our never-ending search for an exit strategy.

1:48:01 Tonight, after more than 40 years on Wheel of Fortune, five more spins for Pat Sajak. This week will be his last. My name is Pat Sajak and I've been fortunate enough to wander onto the set. Pat Sajak retiring after 41 seasons starting in 1981, watched by generations of families. We have a million dollar winner. Sit down here, Pat Sajak interviewed by his daughter Maggie who works on the show and is even filled in for Vanna White. Somewhere along the line we became more than a popular show. We became part of the popular culture and more importantly we became part of people's lives.

1:48:40 What made you decide that this is the right time for you to leave the show? I'd rather leave a couple years too early than a couple of years too late. Could I still do it? Yeah, I think I could for a while. There's also some other things in life that we'd like to do and I'm enjoying this last year. It's been a great 40 years and I'm looking forward to whatever's ahead. So after 40 years, Pat Sajak is giving up on the ever popular show, Bargain! Which leaves a gaping hole, John, open for our game show... Win, Lose, or Drone! I'm telling you, it's time. The time is ripe. Our game show will be an instant hit.

1:49:23 See them. So in the back scenes of it, there's nothing hidden or nefarious that we're doing with these drones. They're there for public safety. It's for your protection people, don't worry. Nothing to see here. It's just for your public safety and protection. And so now I like this added feature where they can stream the body cams up to the drone and back to base. That's cool. I mean, this, and you know what they're going to be doing. If you and I were cops at the Jersey Shore, what would we be doing, John? Probably shooing green-headed flies away. No, we'd be looking for thongs. Ray Bob! Thongs, of course you are! There was a test done some years ago where they had a

1:50:04 They had some police officers were put into a surveillance situation where they're supposed to keep an eye on the front door. And there was the next door neighbor's house was a some woman stripping. They couldn't keep their eyes on the door. They kept watching the girl. And so yeah, so exactly you're right. That's exactly what you'd be doing. But there was a little tidbit in there that caught my attention. When did you have to be FAA certified? Oh no, that's a must now. You either have to have an existing pilot's license or you have to get licensed. Certainly if it's out of range so you can't see the drone.

1:50:55 I mean, there's licensing now. I haven't heard this. We've discussed this many times. Well, I find it obnoxious. I even discussed it as a potential exit strategy. I got a pilot's license. I can be you babe watching. Babe watching. It reminds me when I... Can you imagine, by the way, can you imagine being women on the beach and having drones just hovering right over you with the camera pointed down? I mean, this is ridiculous, this whole thing. It reminds me of my check ride when I did my check ride. So, you know, you

1:51:32 I already did my theoretical, passed my theory test and did my helicopter checkride. And then like a year later, I got my fixed wing license when you don't have to do the theoretical part just to checkride. And I did it at Willamette Valley, at Willamette Airport, which is a great airport because you can crash land a triple seven there. And it's huge, a huge runway. And, you know, the examiner comes, you know, it's just an examiner guy, FAA guy, and he gets in, I fly around, he says, hey, hey, take it down to 300 feet. What do you mean? Well, sometimes there's a babe over here, she's nude sunbathing, let's see if we can see her. This is my check ride. It's like, what? Are you kidding me? Yeah, there you go.

1:52:18 So the idea is a stock exchange that doesn't have DEI requirements, is that the idea? I have no idea what he's talking about. He's just, it seems like just some sort of a tax, you know, Texas looks for tax angles and this is a good idea for that. Well, on that, Yahoo had a report on this and it gave me an idea. It's interesting to see this because you know very well that there's a bit of an IPO drought right now. IPO volumes have been very, very muted. When it comes to the Texas Stock Exchange, I mean, what is the potential vision here for the business in terms of what they're targeting? So it does seem like they're targeting corporations that would go to NYSE and NASDAQ, but might be frustrated with some of the new rules and regulations, the compliance that is put in place. Think about NASDAQ's board diversity program that they have put in that

1:53:10 might limit some companies that don't meet the certain threshold that is placed for listing on Nasdaq. If they still want to go public but don't meet the threshold, they might choose the Texas Stock Exchange. That is really what this business is targeting. They want to be an open venue that has less rules, less restrictions than NYSE and Nasdaq. They're going to really promote themselves as the welcoming Texas state that is welcoming to companies that might not want to go through the hurdles that they would see in New York. This is a fantastic opportunity. This is just a scammer's delight. No, we should take the no agenda show public on the Texas Stock Exchange. Yeah, there you go. Think about it. Everyone gets a share. We go public. Exit strategy.

1:54:01 Take a little, we take some off the table. Take a little off the table. You know, we bring in Linda Liu. We promote our code Bongino. It would be a bonanza. Ticker, crackpot. Let's see how far it goes. I think is when we first got that jingling. So we were probably talking about it in 2016 and And the whole idea was you could have no agenda producers take a nap because it'd be less carbon dioxide exuded And that would be a carbon offset. It seems like there's no regulation. It's a bonanza. It's a free-for-all. Let's listen to some more from NPR. That feels like a big problem. If your money isn't actually reducing as much climate pollution as the offset claims, what's the other issue?

1:54:49 Something called permanence offsets are supposed to reduce or remove carbon dioxide pollution, right? The carbon dioxide, some carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere hundreds of years. Some CO2 sticks around even longer. Thousands of years. Here's the thing. Wait, some CO2 sticks around for thousands of years. What is this magical dust? By the way, I think the troll room is right. It must have been much earlier than 2017. It must have been. I think it was over 10 years ago. Oh no, I think you're right. Let's go back to this carbon dioxide that hangs around for a thousand years. Some CO2 sticks around even longer, thousands of years. Thousands? How do they know? Is there still Jesus carbon dioxide hanging around? Here's the thing. The vast majority of carbon offsets

1:55:40 only promise to remove or store CO2 emissions for 40 years or less. Cullen Ward says a 40-year promise of reducing emissions does not compare to a 300-year or several thousand-year impact of carbon dioxide. So if a lot of these are false promises, is the government doing anything to address these issues with offsets consumers? I just love, I just I just love the breathiness of these two. John, is there really anything that we can do about these offsets? I don't know, Adam. I think something could be done if you spend the time on it. So if a lot of these are false promises, is the government doing anything to address these issues with offsets consumers and companies are buying? Late last month, the Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, announced new principles for high quality... Wait, Janet Yellen?

1:56:34 Janet Yellen announced something? Yeah, she's a climatologist. You didn't know that. Consumers and companies are buying. Late last month, the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced new principles for high quality carbon offsets. Ah, there we go. We had the low quality carbon offsets. Now we're going to have a high quality carbon. We're number one, foam finger number one for our offsets. High quality, that is offsets that actually reduce or remove climate pollution. Climate pollution! These voluntary principles might or might not be followed. A Treasury spokesperson said, though the principles released last month are voluntary, we believe they can help guide efforts to address the challenges. Okay, I finally figured it out. It's the exit strategy to end all exit strategies. Ready? Okay, I'm all ears. How much

1:57:42 carbon, because we can't say carbon dioxide, how much carbon do you think is caused by every episode of the NOAA Gender Show? Taking into account the work that you and I do, the seven, eight hundred thousand people who listen, the computers, the phones they're using, this has got to be quite a lot of carbon, don't you think? I have no idea. Let's put a number on it. Theoretically, yes. In fact, I have a clip coming up. Stick with me on that. Which makes it even worse, whatever the number is. Well, whatever it is, I think we should sell carbon offsets to stop us from podcasting. So think about it.

1:58:27 We have a counterintuitive. No, it's fantastic. If so, we need to sell the carbon offsets so that we don't waste all of this energy and carbon that's being just sloshed into the air. And the carbon that we are exhaling right now will be around for thousands of years. It's high quality carbon that we are getting rid of. And people could pay us. OK. And then the viral clip this week regarding AI came from the CEO of Microsoft's AI, Mustafa Suleiman. Oh yeah, I'm glad you got this clip.

1:59:11 This is worth discussing. With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the 90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That's been the understanding. There's a separate category where a website or a publisher or a news organization had explicitly said do not scrape or crawl me for any other reason than indexing me so that other people can find that content. That's a grey area and I think that's going to work its way through the courts. John, I think we both have some experience in copyright. Maybe you want to weigh in on this one? Everything that's on the web is copyrighted. Everything that people produce is copyrighted. And to get to the point of fair use, which we push the boundaries on because we take clips, it has to be used for some other reason other than its original intent.

2:00:07 So, for example, we can take a clip from NBC, but we're not using it to present it as the news clip that it was originally. We use it to... Educate. Educate. To deconstruct the clip, educate the public. It's a different use. It's a use that's different and it's not a lot. It's a very small percentage of the original and it's all legal. to take the entire web, which is he implies, the entire thing is all public domain and all fair use is bull crap. Where does he get this idea? This is going to be used against him in a court of law. This statement, in fact. That's what I'm saying. He's going to get burned by what he did, that clip. Every single MP3 we release has in its ID3 tags a copyright, no agenda LLC.

2:01:00 I have sued corporations under the, and in fact I set jurisprudence suing a publisher, a large publisher in the Netherlands for taking my pictures off of Flickr. Yeah, you can't do that. Which I'd published under Creative Commons, which was a distribute share alike, no commercial, and they lost and I won. And I'm still hoping for the day they do it again because then I get to charge them 5,000 euros for every copy for every day it's in circulation. But that'd be great. That's an exit strategy right there. Yeah, that's not happening. No, that's not happening. So it looks like one of those rubber wheels. You wear it around your neck and then you press it. And so it listens to you. It doesn't respond to you. It responds to you on your phone.

2:01:48 with a text message. Listen to the report. I don't know how to woo very good. It's the video Silicon Valley is talking about. I know, the effects are crazy. A teaser for a wearable product called Friend, which promises to be just that if you consider AI to be your friend. You kind of have this feeling of no judgment and I think that allows you to be a lot more authentic with it. Avi Shiffman, the 21-year-old who created Friend and spent just shy of $2 million for the website friend.com, describes his product as a good listener. Sorry I got you messy. The most similar relationship you could attribute it to might be a relationship with God where it's this kind of omnipresent, all-knowing entity that you have around you that you can kind of like talk to in a silent, private, confident way with no judgment. Not everyone is sold yet.

2:01:00 I have sued corporations under the, and in fact I set jurisprudence suing a publisher, a large publisher in the Netherlands for taking my pictures off of Flickr. Yeah, you can't do that. Which I'd published under Creative Commons, which was a distribute share alike, no commercial, and they lost and I won. And I'm still hoping for the day they do it again because then I get to charge them 5,000 euros for every copy for every day it's in circulation. But that'd be great. That's an exit strategy right there. Yeah, that's not happening. No, that's not happening. So it looks like one of those rubber wheels. You wear it around your neck and then you press it. And so it listens to you. It doesn't respond to you. It responds to you on your phone.

2:01:48 with a text message. Listen to the report. I don't know how to woo very good. It's the video Silicon Valley is talking about. I know, the effects are crazy. A teaser for a wearable product called Friend, which promises to be just that if you consider AI to be your friend.

The most similar relationship you could attribute it to might be a relationship with God where it's this kind of omnipresent, all-knowing entity that you have around you that you can kind of like talk to in a silent, private, confident way with no judgment. Not everyone is sold yet.

2:02:40 It sounds like it's designed by people that don't know how to make friends. But tech professor Ahmed Benafa, who's tried many AI devices, says this might hit the mark. It reminds me of the case when you have a very close friend and you feel comfortable saying some kind of a dumb thing to that friend without worrying that they're going to judge you. The company says the device will cost $99 when it's available, no subscription necessary, and it'll essentially work like this. put the lanyard around the neck. It'll have a pendant at the end of it. You push a button on the pendant and it will give you encouragement, advice, feedback on whatever it is you've been talking about. Yes, it listens all the time, but the company says it will not store any audio recordings.

2:03:28 Schiffman believes it's an example of how AI can help. You know, I think having an AI friend that will say like, oh, good luck on the interview will increase your productivity far more than it reminding you that it's in five minutes. In fact, after we spoke, he sent me this text from his friend named Emily saying that he nailed the interview. His friends named Emily hello So I think there's so I brought a conversation Yeah, I think it's a good idea by the way me too I'll tell you why we had a conversation at dinner table and JC had some stats about how different generational groups have less and less friends to the Z group the Zed's the zeros where everyone is the zoomers the zoomers they pretty much have zero friends and

2:04:16 They have like, their average number of friends outside of, you know, besides outside the family is one. Yes. Well, you go to the Millennials. It's like four or five and you go to the everything else is a little higher At least it's that many but it's not one. I think there's some some real exit strategy opportunities for us here First of all, I think it'd be great just have an AI called God, you know, he said it was like having God with you all the time Okay, good. You can do that. Or how about your real friend, which is Adam and John? Oh And we're gonna, we're not gonna, we're gonna be real friends. Like, you look like crap. Your butt looks big. Tuck your shirt in. Show up on time. Get off my lawn. So a nagging duo. No, real, real friends. Real friends. Friends who really... Yeah, well that's real friends do. Who really care about you. It's like, no, the essay sucks. Get off chat. Get off Twitter.

2:05:21 Yeah, get up, get out of bed. Get up. Get out of bed. That's what you want. Case in point. I really see the easy way to look at charts. But a lot of unsophisticated investors use it for their news and information. This is a who is this this dude, Patrick Moorhead, an analyst. I really see no pain. You know Patrick Moorhead? Patrick Moorhead used to be a very famous public relations guy for AMD. Oh, interesting. Well, he's now an analyst. I really see two major, actually three major buckets for AI plays. The first one is this infrastructure. Anybody who is related to building out these massive

2:06:11 data centers with GPUs in them. I think I'm very confident next 12 to 18 months that's going to be the case. And we saw the capital expenditure commitments by Microsoft and Meta and Amazon. It is absolutely pedal to the metal on that. And then there's the longer term downstream, right? The enterprise software providers. that there has to be benefit in a large scale for all this to interconnect because there is just factually an overinvestment in the capability versus the downstream benefits at this point. And if that gear doesn't connect in, let's say, 12 months, what's going to happen is the investors of these enterprise software companies

2:07:08 are going to be asking, you know, where's the benefit and have super pressure on these companies to start scaling back. And that is when all bets are off. This is going to come apart so beautifully. Every single day I receive emails from dudes named Ben like oh man we had to implement one of these AI things. It's just a stupid chat bot. Our customers hate it, we hate it, it doesn't work. 20%, 25%, 30% of the answers it gives is wrong. It's not working. Now, this your buddy Patrick did have an interesting side note here, but I think he's reading this the tea leaves the wrong way. And then the final thing I want to add is I still think there's this untapped opportunity, which is the AI, PC and AI smartphones. You know, we saw a little bit on the AI smartphones related to Apple. We saw a slight bump on that. But when you consider there's only one generation

2:08:09 of Apple smartphones that can do all the AI tricks out there and then people are going to have to buy new smartphones, new tablets, and even new Macs. That's really, I think, good news for companies like Apple and Qualcomm and even AMD and Intel. I see it exactly the opposite. I don't think a single person is going to want to buy a new phone that costs even more because of AI tricks. Think it's gonna hurt Apple. I don't think I want this thing you have a you have a negative attitude Of course, this is very very negative and you are very negative my son who works in AI well He thinks it's the best thing. No. No he says Okay, he says something that you can put in the red book and I think it's good. I think he might be right He thinks that it's got

2:09:04 It's got enough legs to go two more years. Wow! Two more years? In other words, yeah, most people that see bubbles like you do, this idea of being a bubble head, always are premature. And I'm guessing he's probably right about the two years. That means we'll have our cable business in place. Yes. Because it's only going to take us about a year to do it. Oh wow, that's good. Our exit strategy is on deck. I love it.

2:09:44 we could really find ourselves in trouble. So what are some of the specific issues RFK has been wanting to take on? For example, and I think this is one that many health professionals are actually in favor of, which is better regulating our food supply, in particular food additives, preservatives, ultra processed foods. But you actually need to know how to navigate the science, how to navigate the law. And to get that done, you would really need to have Congress on board. Congress may have to grant some additional authorities, particularly given some of the decisions made by the Supreme Court in recent years, the major questions doctrine, for example. And without the right backup, scientific backup, it's going to be very difficult for him to get that done. She says something very interesting here, which I caught it only the second time I listened to the clip. She's talking about doctrine. Now, in one case, she's saying,

2:10:35 She's mentioning kind of, without saying it, the Chevron deference. But then she says the major questions doctrine, which is another form, which I hadn't heard of. And luckily, we have our constitutional lawyer who's going to help us with this. But this is another, it's another version of a deference like Chevron deference. I think they call it the clear statement rule. When the agency asserts it has authority to decide major questions, court should independently determine whether the agency's interpretation of its statutory authority is the most reasonable reading of the statute.

2:11:12 That's Chevron deference under this major questions the doctrine says that courts must not interpret statutes as delegating major questions to agencies unless Congress clearly said so so she She is on the inside somehow and already knows that this is where it's going to go towards isn't and probably another Supreme Court ruling about about this major questions doctrine, which is new for me. So we're gonna get the skinny on this. Rob, our constitutional lawyer, sends me a quick little note. Good summary of the major questions doctrine. When you're ready, I'm hiring you. All right, I have an exit strategy. I'm gonna become a lawyer. He says it's all about the separation of powers. Congress needs to do its freaking job and quit abdicating. Sir, I got a culinary tip.

2:12:03 Which I've been sitting on for a while. Oh and boy that hurts yeah And this is a product that is used in Southeast Asian cooking and I've gotten to a discussion with JC about it. He claims that this is originally a condiment or flavoring ingredient that came from the Romans and then somehow got to China where then it was changed over time to the Southeast Asia where they make it all over the place. It's called, and it's got a, I don't think the name's appropriate, but it's called fish sauce. Fish sauce, all right. Now you can find it, you can get it on Amazon, there's a bunch of brands, in fact there's more brands than you can imagine. I would recommend people start with Red Boat, which is a fairly new fish sauce maker, but he does it the right way. Fish sauce is made from black anchovies that have been fermented in salt for one year in a barrel. Wow.

2:13:06 As with French cooking, sometimes you use anchovies like they're used in Caesar salads and you're taking your... They're always salted and you scrape it off and you mix it into different sauces. This accomplishes the same thing and a couple of things you should know. One, it doesn't taste like fish. Good to know it and I would recommend getting red boat Which is done by which if a new company fairly new company for developed by an Apple engineer who is Vietnamese? He couldn't find good fish sauce because what the Asians do and what? smart European cooks do is you use it as a salt substitute and

2:13:46 in spaghetti sauces and soups and stews. That was going to be my question is what do you use it on? So as a salt substitute in spaghettis and soups? Yeah, it adds umami that you wouldn't get from salt. Like a lot of it. It's an umami ingredient where you do which is that you know the latest buzzword into cooking circles is umami Which is mouthfeel and it adds to you umami and a lot of salt what you do is when you buy you dish a bottle of red boat, which is a starter There's all kinds of companies that make this but this is the one that's extremely popular in this country because of the Apple connection the guy knows how to market to Americans and

2:14:24 You take a drop or two of it and put in a spoon and taste it. You'll see what I'm talking about. It's electrically salty and delicious, but it doesn't taste like fish. It's just some sort of it, and I'm sorry that they call it fish sauce, but that's basically it's fermented anchovy juice. It's bad marketing, fish sauce. Well, it's just what it's called. So you put a couple shakes in your spaghetti sauce as a secret ingredient, knock, it'll knock the thing up two notches in terms of deliciousness. Exit strategy. Do you think you could make this fish sauce? Do you think you have the chops to make it? I could make it, but I wouldn't do it cost-effectively like they can in Cambodia, for example. Yeah, but wait, but wait, that has nothing to do with it. You just need the right branding. For instance, I can see

2:15:19 a two for one John C. Dvorak's seasoning of reveal, and as a bonus you get umami magic. Now that's a name for a fish sauce. Umami magic, that's a good name. Okay, well then the way it should be done, as a thing ahead of the game, private label some stuff out of Vietnam. Just get some crap and put umami magic on it. No, it's not crap, I'm telling you this stuff, if people start using this in their everyday cooking, Can we not have died? We'll say this. This is a mommy magic is a winner Okay, I wrote it down Yeah Did the sale of Alex Jones's info wars to the satirical news outlet the onion federal bankruptcy judge Christopher Lopez cited problems with the auction process and said the outcome left a lot of money on the table for families of the Sandy Hook school shooting who stand to receive most of the proceeds the onion

2:16:17 which had planned to relaunch InfoWars as a parody site, bid $1.75 million in cash plus other incentives, while a company that sells nutritional supplements in Jones' name offered $3.5 million. The decision means Jones can stay at his InfoWars headquarters in Austin, and Jones quickly went back on the air to applaud the judge's decision. Christopher Maddy, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families, said they were disappointed in the judge's ruling, but they are as determined as ever to hold Jones and his businesses accountable for the harm he caused. Courts have ordered Jones to pay nearly one and a half billion dollars in restitution for falsely calling the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut a hoax. It's not, that's not correct for falsely call, that's, that's not correct. But at least we know it was the boner pill guy. He like, that must have been a good business. Yeah, well, Alex was selling a lot of pills.

2:17:09 And he wanted to keep him selling pills. He was the front man for this guy. Yep. So they bid one something million and knew, well, I can do, I can top that. Yeah. Do this in a week. We got to, why don't we sell pills? We could be making killing on these pills. And you know what? We're getting to the age where we can say, Hey, I'm taking these pills and look at me. Yeah. I'm still alive. I'm doing great. They use code Bongino. Come on, man. It's an exit strategy. Yeah, I don't think so. I can call Alex's boner pill guy and we could probably get a five-figure deal for this podcast. We get a five-figure deal. Hey man, we're looking for offers. Five figures, not a penny less. And you get the feed with it. We'll throw in the feed.

2:18:03 Although I have an exit strategy. Our feed is worth more than 10 million. Oh, wow. What's the exit strategy? Oh Well, it's something that you're kind of already good at. Yeah. Yeah. What could that be? AI influencers Yeah, there's something called it's it's just 39 seconds is really bad but at least you get an idea it's the lush exchange of And they help you put, I mean, you gotta see the video. They help you put together with their AI tools, your own influencer, which you can then use on... Oh, I see what you're referring to Becky. Welcome to the Lush Exchange, the Coinbase for AI influencers, Instagram models, OnlyFans creators,

2:18:55 And even Hollywood actors will all be disrupted by the exponential rise of AI influencers. Ever wanted to own a social media star? Or better yet, a portfolio of them? Well now you can. The Lush Exchange will create capital markets for this emerging trillion dollar asset class. Trade and invest in this new class of cash generating real world assets Including me so you can build your influencers. You can then list them like a like a like a token So people can buy pieces of it's a great idea I think and I love it because this is going to fill everything with this slop and

2:19:42 What happened to the art tokens that were what was that about remember that would that short-lived the art tokens? Yeah, well you know our cheese and if TNFC I that yeah, it's kind of this is the same kind of thing that keeps you reinventing it different forms. Yes, but I I think that scaramanga that he will be a billionaire within the next five years Well scaramanga could be the one because he definitely has the chops for I mean and just so just have you did you ever see that movie? He did the the video. Yeah, if you haven't met yet, no, you didn't send me the link Okay, you've got to see it because it's so good. Just imagine that with the influencer, you know and on only fans Are you kidding me as agent?

2:20:25 No, you've got to... Listen, I already set you up before that. You write the scripts, Dame Jennifer reads them, because that'll be the differentiator. You've got a real... Yeah, well she's got the voice for it. You've got a real person to do the voice and Scaramanga does the... Hey, wait a minute. Why am I giving you the exit strategy? I need to be in on this deal. We'll cut you in. Okay, just for the idea. You can be the manager. I can be created by. You and Brunetti. Created by. Hey, Brunetti, Brunetti, he should be in on this too. He knows smut. It'd be great. I'm telling you, this is going to be a huge business. Yeah, we could put a team together. It's probably already, half of the influences probably are already fake that are out there.

2:21:10 I mean it's it's and it's going to it's going to ruin social networks. It's gonna be awesome. Well that would be a plus. Yes that's why I'm trying to promote it. These influencers that are out there and there's so many of them. Yes. They're all bogus. Yeah you don't want you want ones you can control and they can dance, they can you know walk around show their clothes, they can do the makeup videos. It's great. This is guaranteed money maker. And someone's going to be... We're in. We're all in. We're in. We'll use the podcast to promote it. Yes, we will. We'll promote Becky. I don't think Becky is a good name though for our influencer. We have to have a different name. We'll come up with better names. Raven. Wait a minute. Where is my Raven? Here we go. Straight from Reseda, here she is, Raven. Give it up.

2:22:04 Yeah, we should resurrect Club 33. It's a member only subscription and then you can take the girls into the private room for a dance. It's like an influencer slash only fans. Yeah. I got a mile a minute, baby. I got ideas. Yeah, you're on a roll. How much can I make cups of coffee? How many gigawatts of coffee did you have this morning? This comes in line with people should go track down the Mark Stein lectures that were done at Hillsdale College. Oh man, yeah. I saw them. Have you heard these things? Yeah, Tina was playing some of it. This is the, against the climate change guy.

2:22:48 Yeah, the client, Mark Stein did the... I'm pretty good at understanding some of these libel and slander issues. But, and I'm not sure, I had to read the case to see what's really going on here. But Mark Stein's been in court for 13 plus years or so, 12 to 14 years, I can't remember the exact number. But years in the DC courts, which are... Yeah, six or eight years, it's been going on for a long time. He made the comment based on the hockey stick, the already debunked many times debunked hockey stick graph. Let's just say scientifically disproven instead of debunked. No, he said the guy was a fraud.

2:23:38 And so, and the guy, the person who put that hockey stick thing together sued him for slander or libel or something for some outrageous amount of money, which will be a dollar or two when it's done. But the, and it's been in court because of the DC court system. Michael Mann. Michael Mann. Michael Mann is the guy. Michael Mann. Who's Michael Mann? Yeah, Michael Mann is the guy who sued him. Michael Mann is a hockey stick guy. Okay, and so he got his tit in the ringer for just making this comment and this is very concerning. Well how about this? How about value for value? People are using that everywhere. I think we should sue them. And they're Bitcoiners. So they got Bitcoin, they got some coin. You go after the big guy, you're using value for value man. You can't do that.

2:24:30 I can hear the gears turning in your head. John's like, exit strategy. I don't think we can do that. I do have good news. There is a possible exit strategy for Adam and John, finally. And this comes from Canada, and it's a medical breakthrough, and we can, we literally can make so much money if we participate in this exit strategy. First, I need to know if you're interested. We're interested in all good ideas. I got the tech grouch lined up. Oh, really?

2:25:07 I'm getting closer because I had to get a new tech grouch cap and I just ordered some new tech grouch glasses. You're gonna do tech grouch but not gonna do the microphone company or the vinegar book? No, they're all coming. Here is a possible Adam and John no agenda exit strategy. This trio of medical researchers is hyper focused on an area of study most of us would flush away. Poop. Together they have launched the world's first overview of poop pills, designed to extend the lives of advanced pancreatic cancer patients. The team is searching for healthy poop donors who can offer hope to patients currently facing a five-year survival rate of less than 10%. The two-year phase one fecal transplant study will see patients consume a large quantity of tasteless and odorless pills in one sitting.

2:26:00 It's hoped the microbes inside each capsule will offer cancer patients a better chance to fight their tumors during chemotherapy. Already poop pills have improved the lives of those battling other types of diseases and cancers. But you might be surprised to learn that the best type of human poop is in short supply. Only one in 43 samples passes the quality test. Those who do are coveted by the team. When you are you really have like golden poop and you can really save lives. John we can save lives and become millionaires if we have the golden poop I think we should try out. Oh God. Quantum computing is the new climate change John that's that's what that is. It's all bull.

2:26:47 All the smoke and mirrors. It's all of this, this AI, it's all fantastic for making deep fake nudes. It's really good at that. It's great at making, you know, Scaramanga makes movies about Jesus in a coffee shop. It's great for that stuff, but I just, you know... We know your position. But I would be all for, I mean think of the exit strategy. If we could train an AI to have our views and our insight and we have 17 years of transcripts and audio to train an LLM, a large language multimodal model on it and do our voices and answer an email or two, we could kick back and relax baby.

2:27:35 How come we can't get this? We could. Show me! Well, I'm not gonna do it. Why? For one thing, it wouldn't have the contemporaneous gags. So you're telling me A.L.'s no good. The old material, the jokes would be recycled. Of course, a lot of people haven't heard the material anyway. You're making my point for me. Yeah, you might be right. I'll talk to some people about it. Yeah, okay. I did have an exit strategy which you're going to roll your eyes when I tell you this. Okay, let me pre-roll. Pre-roll because I finally like, oh, and it was there was some other bull crap award show the 50 over 50 or something for podcast blah blah whatever it was and then I'm like there is here is an award show an award that only we can give this show

2:28:31 and it's completely valid and will be revalidated every year because I'm on the Rogan show with you know with grace I'm on once a year you've been on that show six times I thought it was five but it's six yeah the punishing return are you ready are you ready yeah the podfather awards Oh, I like it. I knew you would. No, you said I'd roll my eyes. You didn't say... What do you mean? What do you... change your mind out of it? Oh, I knew you would. No, the fact that I... You prefaced it, oh, you're gonna roll your eyes. No, no, I knew you'd like it. No, the fact that I'm in on an award show. That part I've always been against, but then I thought, why don't I exploit this? And there's people always on X yelling, you idiot, you nerd, he's not the bad father, Adam Curry's the bad father.

2:29:19 And I have proof! And, and, and, I think it's possible. I want to stop you right now. I have been saying that we should be doing awards for a decade. Yes! There's the eye roll. But I never considered the kind of podcast awards. Oh no, you never considered it since it was, you never, once it's named after you, you're in. Yes, I'm in now! This is, I'm in! This is it! No, you can't, look, this is no time for ego, John. There's no time for ego. It can be no, you know, it's not make sense. It's a Grouch Awards just doesn't cut it. All right that we can do those later Same thing that Grouch Awards will be great not to mention it, but here's the trick It has to be a gala has to be a gala or as I like as I like to say a gala Yeah, America, they always say gala. It has to be a gala I think the Brits say gala to for some reason somebody says gala somebody says go. Well, we're gonna say gala. Oh

2:30:18 And I think, because he never shows up, he never accepts an award, I think if we have the right award, I can get Joe Rogan to come. And, and we can do it in his club. How about that? You're liking it, right? Well, I like it except for the fact that I may have to travel. You don't. You just have to write stuff and just post memes. You don't have to come. If you don't want to, if it's too much trouble for you to come to the gala, if it's too much trouble to come to our Podfather Awards, and we need to come up with categories, but they have to be funny, fantastic categories.

2:30:58 Like they have to be good category. Yeah, like best value team not joke about best value attainment Okay, well you give me some ideas how about longest podcast? We win that one with no information Candace Owens ladies and gentlemen the pod father were and we and what do we call him? Do we call him the parties? No. The Potties? That would be the nickname that we would rail against. People keep calling these the Potties, but it sounds like potty training. Yeah. So it would be, you can get an Oscar. Actually, the Potties is not a bad nickname. You can get an Oscar. It's part of the, now it used to be a trifecta, but it's the Oscar. You get the Grammy Award. The Ergot. Oh, so the Pergot.

2:31:51 So now you have to add the Podfather award. You are not complete unless you all and everyone has a podcast. Yeah, they can all win. All those actors have podcasts. Best comedy podcast, that's one category for sure. Yeah, what? Then you get some hot, you get Dana Carvey or somebody to come out and fix up the award. No, we get those Libtards from the, what is it, Jason, what's his face? What's the Libtard show? The one that held all the presidencies? J. Cal? J. Cal? Oh, J. Cal, he gets an award for sure. Oh yeah, absolutely. Best all-in podcast. Yeah, we can have best female podcaster. Think about that. No, we don't want to do a sexist stuff. Yes, we do. What are you talking about? Then best trans podcast. Nah, nah. Best gay podcast. There's a hit. There's a hit. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Well.

2:32:45 It's... I just want you to think about it, you know, since I've... No, I got... I'm in, but... I'm trying to... Well, the categorization, I think you're already taking it too lightly. All right, well, then where's your ideas, Brainstorm? I... What? Yeah, where's... I've had nothing but ideas about this for a decade. Well, then spout them off. What are we doing? First of all, you have to pay to enter. No! Well, then that's what all the podcast awards you have to pay to enter. No. Okay. These are real awards. You don't pay to enter the Academy Awards. You don't pay. You have to be a member of the Academy. Oh, we have to be a member. We have an Academy you have to be a member of. Well, maybe that's not a bad idea. The Academy of Podcasting. That actually exists and it's a horrible leftist organization. We want no part of it. Really? Yeah, the Podcast Academy. Oh, okay. Well, forget that. But how do we make money?

2:33:45 Oh, you want to make me that dude? I thought it was a promotional idea. The money-making is part of is about promotion for the show. Oh Okay, well value for value. Oh boy, okay. Oh Oh man, you just wanted to cash in on some fees? Yes, exit strategy. All of a sudden, fees? Exit strategy. Can we get a sponsor? Strategy? Collecting fees? Can we get this thing sponsored by Squarespace? Now you're talking. We could do that. Can we get it sponsored by Squarespace and Roe? We could do that. Underwriting, sponsorships, advertising, whatever you want to call it. Yes. TVs? Yeah, do what that guy does.

2:34:29 You know what, people use anything as an excuse. I've always said this when you're soliciting. People use anything as an excuse not to donate. That's right. Oh, you know, Adam likes the color red. You suck, I'm not gonna donate because you like the color red. I mean, it's just an excuse not to donate. No, it goes like this. I was about to donate, but then Adam hated the color red and I decided no. That's my favorite. I was, for weeks I've been thinking time to donate. I was just about to donate and then you said something that pissed me off so now I'm not gonna donate. Yeah. That's all right. That is the true exit strategy. When people stop donating, we exit. So it's up to you. It's not even up to us to find one. It's up to you to not make us go away like your favorite shop on the corner. Yeah, it is.

2:35:23 There you go everybody. The best of exit strategies revisited thanks again to John Jensen's circumference. He sent that in about two months ago and boy am I happy we had it. It was perfect, perfect timing and a perfect topic too. So we'll know more on Sunday. We'll have an update. As we said, this procedure is, you know, it's like they do this all day long and John is a healthy guy. So I'm sure he'll be out and up in no time and extra cranky. And now he can say, I can't eat salt.

2:36:03 Oh yeah, well we're gonna have to start policing that. Yeah, I know. Poor John. So anyway, thank you Adam. No Mimi, thank you for coming on, thank you for keeping us up to speed and we'll talk on Sunday and we'll have more information. Sounds perfect. Thank you. All right everybody. We will talk to you on Sunday be thinking of him until then Remember us at no agenda donations calm will see you on Sunday as always adios mofos who we who we and such
