This is no agenda Day 47 of the Iran War And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry! Yeah and from the refinery row where we all know that sitting in a chair and doing Tai Chi will not make you ripped...I am John C. Dvorak. How you feeling? You sound up and ready today. Yeah, I had a couple of liters removed from my chest from the cavity below the lungs it gives me a little more sonorous qualities to my voice and i expect to have more liquid removed. Can you turn off your fan? You got a fan on...I can tell! Um..i heard you talking on
01:10 DH unplugged show which I had Andrew go back and re-edit you got out of sync somehow. Oh He was he was laughing about stuff You had said five seconds earlier, and then it was the tracks got out of sync somehow But anyway three and a half liters of goop out of your body Well that wasn't in a week Yeah, actually I was going to have some fluid buildup underneath the in the lung cavity. Which happens apparently with people who have these ridiculous operations and so I go and I have a liter-and-a-half removed last week and they go back
02:01 And it filled up again. Two liters! What, but what is this stuff? It's some sort of...it's like a weird looking uh...It's not heavy liquid goo. No. It's like watery and Kind of reddish Red and man, and it's like no shocker to these to the guy doing that thoracentesis. Oh It has a term Thor. Yeah, that was a stick they put this thing up for they stick them They stick a pipe in you and then they suck this stuff out hold on a second I got to ask The Book of Knowledge about this book of knowledge what is a Thor us and teethus? Santeethus
02:43 I don't think i said that right. Let's see if the book of knowledge... No, you did! Oh, I did? Okay here we go He is having trouble looking it up According to the book of knowledge, no specific entity named Thoracantitus exists in the Chronicles of Knowledge. I didn't say it right... Hold on! Why don't you say it? What's a thoracentesis? It's out of control! This thing is no good?! No, it's just uh.. no, it's not good. You're right let me see. Is it done? It's stuck. Anyway, thoracentesis... I can't say it! Thoracentesis... Say it! Thora-centesis. Thoracentesis What is thoracentesis? Let me try that No, it can't... This stupid book of knowledge is like thoracentesis?! No, I'm not even gonna listen to it Anyway Failed So what did they do with this liquid
03:52 What? What do they do with the liquid, they just toss it. They burn it! Burn it?! That's what I'm told... because Jay wanted to take it home for plant food Yeah exactly It is probably the same as placenta or something you know it's probably good for... No. Wait, its illegal? You can't take your own liquid on? I don't know, there are rules Rules So I have to go on a tomorrow and have another one-and-a-half liters extracted from the other side. Oh man! Yeah I know it's just wild. Luckily, the good news is the guy doing it is notorious for being gentle
04:43 Yet gentle, but he's it's like you don't even know if she was going on. It's he's really good Now I think Andrew asks us can they just put a port in so you can just tap it yourself? It looked like the way it's going to say doesn't stop filling up well this end man When will it end? Well, you know the whole recovery process is eight weeks for this particular operation. So I'm only on...I'm just getting to six. No you're just getting started. Wow! You sound good. I like that. That makes me happy. Makes me happy Let me get us rolling here because we have a change that's going on By the way, I see the president on the quad screen On the lawn. On the lawn. Wow
