Adam Curry opens episode 1888 of the No Agenda show with a solemn tribute to his late co-host, John C. Dvorak, who passed away on July 20, 2026.

He describes the emotional bond and the unique "dance" of their unscripted performances that defined the "Best Podcast in the Universe."

00:00 Scam this whole thing life is a scam. This thing is a scam But it's in on the scheme this whole thing death and destruction life is a scam This thing is a scam, this whole thing. Life is a scam! Life is a scam! Life is a scam! This thing is a scam! Adam Curry John C Devorah It's Thursday July 23rd 2026 and it's your award winning Get More Nation Media Assassination episode 1888 This Is No Agenda Well, with the passing of John C. Dvorak I think it's only fitting that I declare July 20th a national holiday in the honor of John, the co-creator of The Best Podcast In The Universe Welcome to episode 1888 of The Best Podcast in the Universe Your no agenda show Family Today I have a hole on my heart You could turn a 747 around

01:09 John C. Dvorak, my friend, my business partner, my comedic counterpart, my all-time favorite broadcaster is no longer here to share the joy of what we love to do twice a week on Thursdays Almost 19 years ago We decided to hit record on conversations we were having when I was living in London and John in San Francisco We discussed the news me on my side looking through The Financial Times or The British Tabloids John and his side looking through The New York Times In The San Francisco Chronicle We talked about technology, we talked about cooking. We talked about our lives. But we didn't know if anyone really found it interesting but we didn't care. We were just recording it because well hey maybe someone out there would enjoy listening from the very first show we promised that this podcast would never have jingles commercials bips and boops sound effects anything basically standard broadcast and boy were we wrong

02:01 We also never had listeners. From the early episodes, we decided that in order to make this work financially without staff everybody would have to be a producer contributing their time talent and treasure. We called ourselves media deconstructionists but really...we were just trying to impress each other make each other laugh with the things we found or the punchlines we had delivered to each other Since John passed I've been listening to older shows trying to pick clips which is just virtually impossible Because every single show had something magic in it. Even our notorious arguments were beauty in itself We always felt that when people were uncomfortable listening to us argue or quetch That was like mom and dad having a fight And to us as broadcasters, that was the success because we touch people emotionally the same way if we made them laugh Now don't get me wrong...we always wanted make ppl laugh

02:58 Without even ever having discussed it we both felt that looking at the world around us, the news that shoved in our face most of it not true or merely to promote some other entertainment product. Having the ability to look through it all and laugh at it would make the world a better place for our family Our No Agenda Family! NO AGENDA NATION John was the most unique man I'd ever met. The first time i ever spoke with him was on an episode of twit, audio only we were both remote I think and at the end there's a little bit of chatter off-air and john said hey curry what your deal are you rich or what's going on with that? I said why don't have lunch I'll tell y'all about it

03:36 That was the beginning of a long friendship and partnership. The most beautiful thing about John is that we had complete trust in each other, the division of work, the consistency even in business...the entire operation was based on a handshake! Even though the IRS later made us form an LLC because they couldn't understand what all these $3.33 checks and cash about coming in every single week We rarely spoke outside of the show. Maybe if a server was down or something had happened that would affect business process, we might have a short text email or phone call. We never discussed what were going to do on the show everything was completely unscripted and this is the point I really want to make this wasn't just a show it's a performance It was not Adam and John just bringing clips in with their opinion it was like a dance imagine that having the privilege to dance with John for six hours a week

04:29 We stepped on each other's toes sometimes, but we always kept dancing until the band was done playing. John made me a better broadcaster too. His timing was impeccable – he even compensated for network delay in the early days of Skype and got into a rhythm where I would start the clip when his lead-in was done it was smooth most of the time! Like thousands of others, he taught me how to question everything – even the absurd which would often require a theremin Above all, he made me a better man. I once tried to tell him how he was kind of like a father figure to me in many ways which he immediately shunned and said don't ever say that again! Okay then maybe uncle grandfather brother whatever it was...I am privileged to have had him in my life for the past two decades

05:18 Many people came to know No Agenda during COVID, which we had quickly figured out to be some epic scam. As we worked through it with our humor it gave a lot of people rest and a feeling that they were not alone And while I know many of you came for the media deconstruction pretty much everybody stayed for the stories and wealth of history that John had and jokes we would make together After each show, at the end of a show ISO would run we'd probably say something like hey that was a good show and John would always say yeah solid B+. I would look for the opening clips which is always funny to do listen to whatever nonsense John had spouted out. Then we select the art which he argued about often but what that wasn't too bad We check the credits together and we come up with a title

06:03 And he didn't have to, but John always stayed there for my final post-production uploading to the servers getting the show notes in order. It took 20-25 minutes He was just basically waiting only hearing me clacking on the keyboard When everything was up and good to go we always said the same thing Okay! Talked you Thursday Adios...and that's exactly how last Sunday ended Here's the good part for me. Oftentimes when someone is removed from life, you think of the things you could have said to that person...the things you wanted to say that person I am so fortunate because not only did i get to say it, I did and he said everything he wanted and needed to say to me as well It was all on the show never behind-the-scenes what you heard was the real deal

06:48 We both loved how Noah and the Nation grew. The community, the lingo, the different websites, the numerology, the inside jokes, the code words... The small family businesses that supported this show with their funny notes and crazy promo codes… The meetups! Oh man, the meetups. We love this so much because it showed us that the show was bigger than just Adam & John John took care of the business side of things, backed by his wonderful family Mimi, Jay, Eric, JC. Everyone contributed The newsletter which we have often told other podcasters is probably the most important business part of this show because we depend on your support And whenever John said donations are low or threw a sad puppy it was never a lie It was always the honest truth and he was never ashamed to tell you and ask you for help for us...and you did

07:38 These past few days have been quite overwhelming. The social media posts, the thousands of emails, stories and yes many prayers and not just people saying thoughts and prayers real prayer reading through as many as I could replying to as many as I possibly could it kept seeing one theme People would never say, hey remember when you deconstructed that story or you poked through that narrative? No. It was always about the humor and the stories I was blown away when just a few shows ago I learned about yet another job that John had had in the past He was a never-ending deep well of beautiful hilarious and informative life stories But there's more in these messages from our producers There's a feeling of community A sense of family Coming together with love for each other

08:24 Ask yourself, did you even think about the war in Iran during these past 24 hours? I sure haven't. It wasn't that kind of the point of what John brought us a way to look at things from a different perspective A somewhat laissez-faire attitude because it made you feel that he had seen it all before and nothing was new under The Sun and he's right. It's clear that no agenda will never be the same without John This family this community That we built with him is too big and too vast end And while I'm not exactly sure how we will move forward from here without him, today and on Sunday's show just like any family we will honor the man who we loved who we cherished who we laugh with and all valued as being part of our lives. My only prayer now for today is that John is in heaven saying crap Adam was right! See you on the other side John love you mean it

09:26 I woke up this morning singing a new song Everything has changed Walking around the small world It's never gonna be the same But in my heart and in my mind, I'll keep you there to stay in the morning. You're always there for me in the morning I hope to see you someday in the morning, in the morning yeah

10:21 I'm gonna miss you in the morning You're always there for me in the morning. I hope to see you someday in the morning Hope to see you some day in the morning I'm gonna miss you, you're always there for me And on today's episode we have a lot of John's friends and family We also have a lot of donation notes, which you will be reading I'd like to say first in the morning to Mimi who is sitting standing by right now Mimi

CHAPTER 02 / 150 Discussion

John C. Dvorak Age and Birthplace Secret Revealed

Mimi Dvorak joins the program to reveal a long-held secret regarding John C. Dvorak's actual age and birthplace. Dvorak intentionally misled a Wired Magazine interviewer decades ago to appear younger, a factual error that was later adopted by the New York Times without verification. While public records often cited Los Angeles, Dvorak was actually born in Fresno and was 80 years old at the time of his death, six years older than his public persona suggested.

john c. dvorak· mimi dvorak· new york times· wired magazine· age hoax

11:16 I'm right here. Yes destroyed me with your beautiful words Yeah, they destroyed my whole system They're going curry can't you get anything right? Can't you get that stuff to fire off, right No, he's screwed with stuff. I'm sure of it. Yes So the first thing I just want to say is that one of the most polarizing things Of the announcement of John's passing is a secret that I've had to keep for almost 20 years. And, and I would like you to explain it everybody because... You know, I got people saying Wikipedia's fake news! What's going on? They were just like very very disturbed by this

12:00 Well, John when he was starting to feel his age 20 years ago 30 years ago um it had to be 30 years ago. He decided he was doing some interview for some maybe it was Wired or maybe with something else and they said oh how old are you? And he goes well I was born in and uh he told me he would you know so he came up with the date except when he first told me this He was going to be two years younger than me and I had a fit. You're not gonna be younger than me! So he changed it to what, 52?

12:40 So he told this, you know, this interviewer that year and then something happened and he was in the New York Times I'd say about six months later. And the New York Times didn't fact-check and just picked up that day... Exactly! ...and we went well if The New York Times says it who are we to argue with The New York Times who always checks facts? I don't know how I found out But he said no, no you got to keep that a secret and he literally would tell me if I die before You have to tell everybody the New York Times sucks. They don't fact-check and they were wrong And so every year when his birthday would come around and we did a special birthday number donation for both of us I would always say hey man, you know If only you weren't lying we'd make more money out of this It was our

13:32 It got really awkward. I mean, there was that thing where I actually mentioned when I was doing the show that it was his high school and we gotta take that out because someone can look up the yearbook and see We guarded it carefully. That's right! I remember that, yeah! Oh no the yearbook gotta get rid of those, can't have that published anywhere It was one of the oddest things it was just so strange Well the other things that The New York Times picked up is he was born in LA because he thought that was funnier because he was actually born in Fresno

Will Hearst on John C. Dvorak's Tech Influence

Will Hearst, a long-time friend and former newspaper executive, discusses John C. Dvorak's significant impact on the technology industry during the 1970s and 80s. Hearst credits Dvorak with having a keen eye for talent, noting how he introduced him to legendary tech writer John Markoff. The discussion highlights Dvorak's "snarky" but honest product reviews, which could famously make or break a company's success.

14:10 Love that We can hear a couple people laughing on on the clean feed and we have a number of John's friends with us I'm just gonna kind of go around The horn and see you know, see what people have to say. I'd like to bring in Will Hurst who was often been discussed on the show usually in the form of well I was with my friend Hurst and we were on his yacht there was always something going on. Well he was a guest man at our wedding yes Will, in the morning to you hi good morning

14:50 So, I didn't know that you were a best man at their wedding and I knew that you hung out with John a lot. Actually don't think I knew the friendship was that deep and so tight Well, I think we met...I came out to work on the newspaper in 1970s by mid 1980's I was in more senior position there hire somebody to write about technology and I forget how John and I met but he didn't want to do that, but he did introduce me to John Markoff who was a writer for Byte magazine. And Markoff became our technology writer then left us to go work for the New York Times and became the lead technology writer there so John had very good eye for talent. And I remember going to his house

15:42 over in Albany and there was a whole bunch of computer stuff all over the place, kind of like a warehouse. I'm not making a critical comment because my house is like that too but John had people sending him stuff all the time because they wanted him to review The technology, and write it up. He was kind of like a combination of Herb Cain and Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher all in one If John thought you had an interesting product the sales took off And if he thought it was a dud You might as well forget about it And he could be very snarky I remember Wait wait wait Snarky? Are you kidding me? Dvorak? Snarky what?!

16:22 Well, he was honest and blunt and did not worry too much about your feelings if he thought the product was no good. I remember there was a guy that had a board that you could put in a PC... And this is pretty early days so this used to have a separate board for parallel interface and serial interface and sound card and memory card This guy had sort of supercard that all interfaces on everything And you could tell John wasn't terribly impressed and John said, well what are you going to name this product? The guy said I think he was going to call it the blue whale. John said I think we should call it the white elephant because its never gonna sell! I remember when we were talking about all of this stuff in his house

17:09 I'm gonna write about something called the agony of owning junk and i said what does that mean? He said well you just can't get rid of stuff because you think he might use it or maybe if somebody gave it to you that your still haven't gotten around to it. And when I look at my own house, like I think of John every time as the his phrase The Agony Of Owning Junk cause thats what happens to you when you get to be our age. That is so good and I have a closet from hell as well and of course we've... You know I've only been to John's house once I was only invited once, it was for Thanksgiving dinner and I remember saying hey man can i see your studio? No! What you mean...I can't. No no! I have never seen his studio ever and Mimi you're sitting in it right now Oh yeah oh yeah You don't want to see this

Dana Brunetti Discovery of No Agenda During COVID

Producer Dana Brunetti shares his journey of discovering the No Agenda show while building a ranch during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially familiar with Dvorak from Tech TV and Cranky Geeks, Brunetti was surprised to find him paired with former MTV VJ Adam Curry. He describes the show as a refreshing, "non-woke" alternative to mainstream tech media that led to a close personal friendship with Dvorak.

17:58 Scar you for life. You will never see it Hey JC, how you doing? Good morning to you It might be surprising but not great no Wow chip off the old block yes, yes I hear ya Wow, I want to bring in Dana Brunetti as well Who is a mere associate executive producer of the Noah gender show we pass her him about this endlessly But of course, we love having Dana in the No Agenda Nation and he and John became vast friends. John would scold you for calling me an associate producer. For calling him an associate? Yeah, he would. Are you... Dana can just check to make sure that your on your

18:44 I had to jump off. I had to jump over to the phone because of the okay Mike died so I'll let it charge and no product again in a little bit if you want to come back No, it's fine. I got you good man. It got you good So how did how did you meet John? I mean, how did you hear about the show even? so it started during kovat when I was starting to build my ranch and move from LA to get the hell out of there and I'd known John from Tech TV and CNET, all of his writing in the past. Cranky Geeks. As I was constantly going around listening to podcasts and running out of things to listen or things that were just super woke at the time that were driving me insane

19:27 I decided to check and see if Cranky Geeks was still around. And I was playing it on listen2 over at Riding On The Tractor or whatever, and couldn't find it so I started searching on John C. Dvorak and No Agenda came up and I thought Adam Curry and John Dvorak? That can't be the same one! Adam Curry is from MTV... What is this?! And I put it on and was like, holy crap these guys are not woke at all. Which was completely opposite of what I thought from just knowing him from Twit and Leo Laporte It was so refreshing that I got addicted to the show and started listening to it then finally donated and wrote in

20:12 He sent me a note shortly after that and we just started conversing back and forth And he had just such a witty sense of humor Are you still there? Yeah Uh-oh, he fell off the tractor. Yeah... I don't know what happened there! Oh no Dana get back on the tractor! Let's bring in Marty for a second now Marty I don't think of have you even spoken to Marty? Right, Marty was one of my friends that John took over from The Comedy Days In The City and the second they met it they were just thick as thieves and I hardly got a word in edgewise

CHAPTER 05 / 150 Discussion

Marty on CNET Pilots and Dvorak's Polymath Nature

Marty, a former joke writer and collaborator, recounts working with Dvorak on early CNET pilots alongside Leo Laporte. He describes Dvorak as a polymath who could converse expertly on topics ranging from Oswald Spengler and modern art to the direction of the music industry. The segment touches on Dvorak's "avuncular" but grumpy personality and his history of leaking Microsoft development secrets to the press.

20:54 Marty welcome. Welcome to this special episode I only knew you as John's joke writer, which I always did Did Marty give me that gag? Oh man back to the drawing board It's a pleasure to Be with all of you folks right now John's been on my mind for the last couple of days here last night was rough A lot of memories, a lot of videos that we've got here and audio tapes and things that we created together. John had a personality that just tickled me because he would take a wild idea and figure out how we could do it And he was forever inserting me into positions where I could be

21:42 I could be very wealthy and screw it up because i have fun doing it. And i think i told them five times, that could've been somebody big and it wasn't in me you know? We did the pilot show for CNET and coordinated with John, and got Leo and the people around the table and cut that video. And then had a falling out with Halsey Minor who was... That wasn't hard to do! No it wasn't! It wasn't! And in fact I we had lunch down south of the market he goes, we think maybe will have the main show right here in the Castro and I said well that'll definitely send a message any cocked his eye and i knew what was done. That was it! John appreciated that at the same time he goes um... I went to their house where they were living out there in Pacific Heights I believe and he says

22:45 The only problem with the place is they didn't have enough statues of themselves. That's such a delicious way of putting it! John had an incredible sense of humor a great sense of timing. I went through all kinds of changes, directed theater had a film company made kid films worked at an ad agency went up to Microsoft and i used to steal everything from the development teams and send it down to John so he could get a first look at it

23:22 I was all over the map and that was okay with John because when we talk, we talk about Oswald Spengler. We talk about modern art, talk about where music is going what the hell's wrong with Vegas? And some of some of the best things i ever created or written were things that I batted back and forth with John He had a remarkable talent. In that way he was a polymath, he knew a little bit about everything and he was an expert on it just by knowing a little about it which I used to say he's grumpy, but he's like my uncle. He's avuncular so maybe he's grumpy-vuncular. I think everybody had that vibe with John. Hey Mimi, I hate to do this Mimi but... TURN DOWN YOUR SPEAKERS! Well you know what? I'm used to doing it. I need earphones

24:18 Yes, I appreciate earphones one of my one of the ones things we never agreed upon was I know So if you can turn down just a little bit that'd be great Yeah, where's we're trying? We're trying Dana. Are you back on? Am I here? I don't know. Oh, yeah you're coming in five by five Okay this clean feed on the iPhone as keep hitting on my ear if John was using a CB complaining about it up and down It's got to be The interface is a little wonky now From what I understand is I mean you and John would talk you And your wife Alex and John and probably Mimi as well would talk regularly

The Mystery of John C. Dvorak's Home Studio

Family members and friends discuss Dvorak's intense privacy regarding his home recording studio, which he treated as a "sacred inner sanctum." Mimi and JC Dvorak recall how even as a child, JC was barred from entering the office while John was working. Despite hosting many dinners for friends like Dana Brunetti, Dvorak consistently refused to let anyone see the physical space where he produced his broadcasts.

john c. dvorak· mimi dvorak· jc dvorak· home office· recording studio

24:56 Yeah, we well I mean like what every day. I'd wake up either you either be a text message or Twitter Message or X message or Instagram or not much to Instagram But he would either send me something on Twitter a text or email usually email but I could never and then if I tried to text back It would never work because he wouldn't get it for some reason Of course And we spoke like probably minimum once a week, probably two or three times a week sometimes on the busier times. But he would and I realized he was like a night owl. He was never up in the mornings whenever I tried to call him but always late at night and usually I'd be in bed and the phone ringed and it would say John C. Dvorak and I'd say to Alex, It's John. She would always say answer it because she was always mesmerized about what he had to say

25:54 Alex always said he would be her phone a friend if she was ever on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? because he knew everything and had a story about everything. And we would always, whenever her and I would get into disagreements or arguments We'd be like let's call John rather than Google it or whatever He was our ass Jeeves It's let's call John! So we called John no matter what he was doing he would stop if you answered the phone Pretty much always answer the phone Hello And just straight to it, it ringed like once. Sometimes it didn't even... sometimes it didn't even ring and I'm like how did you even know? It was a quarter of a ring! He's like oh I don't know and he was always on a cordless phone that had horrible static that he always denied and would say I don't know it sounds fine on my end. I'm going to record this so you can hear what I am talking about. Welcome to my life. He'd always say I didn't change anything. I didn't do anything. I have nothing to do with it

26:49 But yeah, so it was I mean we spoke constantly and then We started having some very expensive dinners that I paid for of course absolutely whenever I was in the Bay Area and usually when I was there for a horse show with Alex or Just happened to be in the area. I'd always stop by and then I remember on his show one time He he I think you asked him said boy how do you consider a friend? And he's like somebody who've had dinner with and Dinner at their house yep And I remember telling him, hey we were friends. He's like well we are friends what do you mean? I'm like I've never had dinner at your house. He was like well then come over and eventually I went over with Alex and we had dinner with Brennan and Jay

27:31 At his house, and I the same thing happened to me. I'm like alright at the end of the dinner things are winding down Like all right can I see the studio? And he was so like no way I'm here right here is just great It's somewhere within feet from me can I see the studio and he absolutely refused I thought he was joking initially But then realized now he's not joking He's not gonna let me see this do you Mimi why one why was that white we're not allowed to see John's Studio Wait before that, before that as a child I couldn't see the studio. So when up until like...I was like 10 it was like oh you can come in here door's closed and I tried as a very young child they tried all sorts of tactics such as Oh I can't sleep! And they would be working at night because he works at night and so the door would be closed

28:24 I'd sit at the stairs and be like, hey you know, I'm a six-year old who won't listen to anybody. And the door would open and then i would go towards it and then stopped immediately so that The office was sort of like this sacred internal inner sanctum of a wizard And yeah, the secrets are in there. You are definitely keeping the myth and the legend alive JC I love that I love that Hey Will could you if you have it in you? Could you give me one of your favorite JCD stories Oh I remember one time we had a editor at The Paper who was he's Was kind of famous for maybe being

CHAPTER 07 / 150 Discussion

Dvorak's Comedic Timing and Classic Humor

Friends reflect on Dvorak's deep knowledge of 1950s and 60s comedy, specifically the routines of Jackie Vernon and Bill Dana. Marty shares an anecdote about using a shocking punchline to catch Dvorak off guard, illustrating John's appreciation for well-timed wit. The group notes that Dvorak often told jokes using only the punchlines, assuming his audience was culturally literate enough to know the setups.

29:11 Hold on, I lost you there Will. There's a lot about technology and we don't really have a good technology writer Markoff had left We had some people that could work good but they weren't as good And John said okay i'll go and talk to the guy And I called him I saw him the next day at the newspaper and I said oh how did the meeting go? He said yeah the meeting was schedule for 11 o'clock and he didn't show. And I said, oh that's just a what do you think happened? He said Oh you know i know who the guy is so he's probably still throwing up at eleven So John was very nonplussed. He never did meet the editor I wanted him to meet, he never did get the job and he didn't care but... That is so... ...He could be quite a wit! So typical, so typical. Marty you got one for us? Well this is the thing-I wanted to crack up John and it was tough to do because a lot of times he'd just smirk and give me another variation of whatever wisecracker joke I was saying

30:14 But there was one time he had a problem with his water heater on the second floor. And he says, you got to take a look at it's leaking and I don't know what is wrong with it? I said okay hang on. I go up and I look and there's a pan under it that catch the water. The bottom was rusted out! I said yeah its shot, you need a new water heater. He goes what would cause something like that?! and I got real close to his ear, and I whispered the plural of the n-word. And he just started laughing his ass off! He couldn't believe i said that but I caught him unaware just for a minute... Just for a minute. Oh man yeah

30:53 Yeah, maybe it's oh go ahead. No please go ahead Marty Go ahead no you know what we talked about comedy and Comedy in the 50s and the 60s And he knew everyone he knew all the routines and everything and they had internalized a lot of it with the identity of the characters like Jackie Vernon and Bill Dana and those early comics and He knew their routines inside out And what he'd do is, he would wait for you to say something and just pick the right punchline and throw it out. That's all he had to do! He could tell jokes just by telling the punchlines. He didn't need a set up. He really did! He did it with joy! I love hearing these stories because John was very able to keep within

Jay and Brennan on Dvorak Family Dynamics

Dvorak's daughter Jay and son-in-law Brennan discuss their roles in the No Agenda "back office" and the personal side of the broadcaster. Jay describes the overwhelming support from the "No Agenda Family" following John's passing, while Brennan jokes about his "deadbeat" nickname given by Curry. They highlight Dvorak's insistence on weekly family dinners as a core part of his life.

The Dvorak Interrogation and Family Dinner Rituals

Brennan and Mimi Dvorak describe the "John Dvorak treatment" given to anyone new entering the family circle, which involved rigorous interrogation over wine and cognac. Dvorak used these dinners to vet his children's partners, often requiring at least two glasses of wine before opening up. Brennan also mentions serving as Dvorak's "gopher" and driver during the broadcaster's recent recovery from a cracked sternum.

34:42 I'm doing great and i love the nickname deadbeat. To get a nickname is a badge of honor This is true but you really had a great connection with John because when he was staying at your house after the surgery, you know after the show it was very different dynamic as you and Jay would come in and I would hear him talking to him like wow he really loves this guy You had a great relationship with him I could tell Oh yeah, we had a... from the very start. When I first started C&J he uh... you gotta meet him! He wants to have dinner with ya that's his litmus right? And he sat me down and in the very first question he asked me

Yeah I held yeah i believe, I held you back so you would not open It's an interrogation technique. Yeah, it's an interrogation technique and he kept me in-interrogated for a long time uh... and I don't think we stopped actually No never did And we did a background search on him Yes i'm sure you did I came up mostly clean except for that weird stuff but You know? He um

36:01 He and I really, really got to bond quite a lot in the last 20 weeks especially. But I mean I had dinner with him every week and you know it...I was his gopher, I was his driver. Let's explain John insisted that we have family dinners every Friday well first it was every Friday Move a little closer Mimi Yeah, no I'm we're sharing a mic. So we're putting our heads together like where the what do you call it? Yes there you go so John was big about family so for as long as I've known him it's always been we had to have Family, you know sit down dinners.

36:45 you know, so anybody that unfortunately Jay dated or JC dated or even Eric dated would have to come and get the John Dvorak treatment. Yes Or as Marty called it the Dvorak syndrome Thank you. And John would grill ya, and he'd never talk... He mostly never talked and then one day he'd get like a wild hair I think he needed at least two glasses of wine and then he would really open up during dinner You know it's- And uh..I got to drive him around everywhere for when you've got a cracked sternum they don't let you drive anything Right

37:28 I got to drive around everywhere and talk to him in chat and The amount of times he told me that I should start a podcast so maybe that I'd shut up in the car John was You know, I love so much working with him because as i said nothing in fact when we ever scripted something if we ever said hey you do this and ill deliver the punchline guaranteed failure it would always fail. Id screw up the setup he'd forget the punch line oh were doing that? Oh yeah no I forgot about that but when were just on the fly doing stuff

CHAPTER 10 / 150 Discussion

Club 33 and No Agenda Theater of the Mind

Adam Curry explains why the show never transitioned to video, citing Dvorak's belief in the "theater of the mind." This philosophy is illustrated by a classic clip of Dvorak performing a "Club 33" routine, where he improvised a strip club announcer persona. The segment highlights Dvorak's ability to create vivid, often absurd, characters and scenarios using only his voice and off-the-cuff imagination.

38:05 This as a broadcaster I loved working with him so much because I could bring in sound effects. I could bring in you know we both enjoyed the The art of the theater of the mind which is why? We also never did video he said no, no No, we're not gonna do any of this if you want people to well Of course I did but we want people to imagine what John's office is like we want people that just you know, have their mind's eye as to what is going on. And I just wanted to play...I have a couple but one of my favorite bits And I'm not even sure how it started, probably because people... The number 33 was very important to the show. Because we didn't know what it meant. 33 would show up everywhere and be like, what is this? We had many people explain it to us over the years but we always felt there was some operation either operations go or operations stop some kind of military or PSYOP. Then people start saying hey you know there's this club 33 at Disneyland

39:06 which everyone is quite aware of. We knew that wasn't quite the Club 33 that The No Agenda Show would like, but John had an idea and we came up with our very own Club 33. Everybody give it up for Amber! You already did Amber, we need another- Raven! How do you know these things? Straight from Reseda here she is, Raven! Give it up Up next Bambi, Bambi onto the stage. Wow you do know it okay I'll do Raven then we get and then one come back to you

Political Satire and the Pansexual Meatloaf Gag

The show revisits famous Dvorak catchphrases and comedic bits, including his "What's That In Your Mouth?" critique of politicians like Mike Johnson. Curry plays the "Pansexual Meatloaf" clip, a fan-favorite moment of absurdity regarding sexual orientations. These segments demonstrate how Dvorak's spontaneous remarks often became permanent fixtures and "show staples" in the No Agenda lexicon.

mike johnson· succotash· pansexual· meatloaf· catchphrases

40:54 That is John C. Dvorak, he could do that off the cuff He just threw that out there but sometimes he would have Punchlines and things that we just became show staples such as this one about Speaker of the House Mike Johnson And I have two clips What was your original position at the CIA or somebody came up to him and said hey look at this picture What's that in your mouth you think? I'm just generalizing. It could be eating succotash. Succotash, sure! Dig a hole deeper... I'm thinking...I'm rethinking my...I completely know Wait is this a Johnson pivot?! I have done a Johnson...yes

41:52 He's got the right last name for what I was talking about. It was such a joy when he came up with these things and then this is another one, so What's That In Your Mouth? was a show title that became the thing whenever a politician did something be like hey man what's that in your mouth we know why you're changing your vote We know what you're doing and then there was There was this one. Then of course we have a classic, a favorite the pansexual you know what that is the pansexual of course Yeah yeah You'll have sex with an animal Anything anything goes Now this Hey what are you gonna do? Anyone gonna eat this meatloaf? That's the pansexual

John C. Dvorak Career Advice for Young People

A classic clip features Dvorak offering cynical but practical career advice, suggesting that employees should ignore their supervisors' "bullcrap" while pretending to comply. Curry contrasts this with his own advice of finding a passion and getting paid for it. Curry credits Dvorak's business instincts for the success of the "Value for Value" model, which allowed Curry to transition into podcasting full-time.

career advice· management· taco bell· value for value· podcasting

42:43 I literally was on the floor. It was just that was the kind of stuff that he did but it was also He loves giving advice. We talked a lot about, you know young people what should they do? The sock hop is legendary hey you want to meet somebody who would rather bring sock hops back and here he is with some career and management advice for young people which I think is something we need to listen to again Well here's my piece of advice all right I've given this advice before but I'm going to give it again

43:19 Most people that will supervise you throughout your careers are full of crap. And they tend to, they can be played and I don't like them say that you want to play people but they can be played by just going along with whatever they have to say do not be argumentative and I give two examples. I'll give one example a good one. I should give the code. I'll give it no I could generalize Somebody will say, hey I don't like the way you're doing this and you're doing it whatever way you are doing it. And instead of saying well I'm doing for this reason or that reason or whatever You say oh okay what do you want me to do? What do you think I should be better at? Well I am all ears Be very attentive and then they'll tell ya the way they want you to do something

44:13 And then just keep doing it the way you were doing it because that's the way you do things. Don't pay any attention to their advice." And within, I don't know a few months they come back and say so how is that new way of doing things? You say its great! You were right and the guy will say yep I've noticed that you have changed your much better than you were. That happens all the time because everybody thinks they're so important. Interesting That's not the kind of advice I give. I give different advice because I get the same advice, is that what you... Is that the same advice you hand out to young people all the time?

44:51 No, I have a lot of different advices. Oh! But that one particular piece of advice which is these supervisors are full of crap and just to go along with the program don't argue That's my... Stay in line! But keep doing things the way you're doing them it's not gonna be they're not gonna notice when they don't know what they're talking about Well i guess my advice kind of dovetails into that where my advice is always the same find out what you really like doing What you really like doing Just something you like doing. You could be skateboarding for all I care, find something you really really... No not like what you really love doing and then find someone to pay you to do it! That's it that's the secret of life. That is ideal advice for everybody but many times to get to that point Bullcrap anybody can do that anybody can have a place in life. If you need a job tomorrow and you have to go work at Taco Bell what are gonna do? Screw you Taco Bell Well that's part of the finding someone to pay to do it part

45:47 Yeah, well you maybe can do that from the taco back in there. You try to get in the front counter It's taken me 54 years to finally be able to podcast Don't knock it. And that was so true, I have my entire second half of life career to thank to this man the way we set up Value for Value the way we made it all work which a lot of that was him A lot of these ideas, a lot of the hey we gotta keep hammering people otherwise it won't work I remember when maybe it was around

46:26 The second year I was in a hotel room in New York, we were just doing the podcast and asking for value for value. And he called me and said hey! Hey! We got 900 bucks for this show. Wow that's a lot. He said this is gonna work quit your job this is going to work we're gonna do this And we did, and we just never looked back. I'm so thankful for him for giving me something to do as a patently unhirable person. So Adam his job advice he would give that to me and I listened to him. He'd tell me to do things a certain way and i go uh-huh

Dvorak's Wine Palate and Costco Recommendations

The discussion turns to Dvorak's legendary status as a wine connoisseur and his promotion of affordable "Kirkland crate" Bordeaux from Costco. Will Hearst and Dana Brunetti share conflicting stories of Dvorak's wine habits—ranging from seeking $10 bargains to running up $8,500 bills at the Bellagio. Dvorak's background as a taster for Bon Appetit is noted as the source of his extensive knowledge.

bordeaux· costco· kirkland· kermit lynch· wine tasting

47:08 I just want to talk about wine for a second. Oh, yeah This is you know John opened introduced an entire generation to the Kirkland crate of six bottles of Bordeaux for about three bucks apiece Everybody you know Costco was like oh wow man these things are going fast So Let's start with Will. I'm sure you and John enjoyed a lot of exquisite and different bottles of wine together Oh yeah, that was one of the things that we both helped each other with our addiction problem

47:50 But he introduced me to Kermit Lynch, I didn't know about that place over in Berkeley. And one of the last times I saw John was when I got an invitation to go to La Palais which is a big burgundy fest in San Francisco And my wife said, I don't want to go. It's terrible so i ended up with two tickets and I figured like well maybe Dvorak is willing to go particularly if I'm paying and already have the tickets So we went to that thing together it wasn't all evening stuff and half of people were very wealthy sort of technology people who knew nothing about wine there were a bunch of other people who knew a lot about wine There was a bunch of other people that were sponsors it was a very weird collection of people

48:30 Had a lot of fun kind of introducing me to one or two people that he knew and making some comments, but we really enjoyed ourselves. And he was always pointing out to me bargain basement-wise I guess I'm bit of snob relative to John so I would never follow up on all his suggestions but you had very good palate and could very quickly make comments about wine that were quite accurate. I miss that, he was a good buddy to have a glass of wine with He was also the guy you could text him a wine label or a wine menu and within three minutes he would text you back no matter what time in the day There's emails in his inbox hundreds of mine he has never read

49:15 Because I didn't see that, it didn't come in. But if you texted him something like hey man what wine should i choose? Boom! And he was always like this... He'd say okay no wine should be more than 40 bucks. Okay now that's just ridiculous and then he find one and point one out even when back in the early days we by coming to San Francisco would have lunch at Fringall I would say probably his favorite haunt And I'd say, hey man. I got the company credit card let's just go crazy He wouldn't do it like no this is always on the price that's too expensive they're charging too much We're not gonna drink that Dana how about you?

49:57 That is a complete opposite. Really? He never once... I remember getting the bill on a few dinners and was shocked because he always had the wine list, so i was like get whatever because you know wine better than I do and that was not the case on our dinner's Maybe he was just one of those, oh adapt to this guy's budget. Oh that's so cool! No he was just trying to introduce Dana to better wines. He was trying to up his palate. That's what John did. I mean he did send me notes on order a case of this. This is good stuff it's cheap order this. So i had boxes and boxes and then eventually I couldn't keep up with it

50:42 But we did go to a wine tasting once at a vineyard. It was actually somebody from NOA Agenda like the PR person at this winery and John, he's like let's go. So we went and they had the wine maker there and they had a whole set up, a tent setup for us and did a whole dinner and it was really beautiful and lovely but one of the funniest things is that he was with the wine maker, this French guy debating the wines with the guy who made the wine. John, I think this guy knows what he's talking about. He made it! No no no... The Tannins on this one is a... Why are the winemakers right there next to him? Oh that's phenomenal. Well John was a taster for Bon Appetit. I mean he was invited to events all the time

The 2000 Consumer Electronics Show Wine Prank

Will Hearst recounts a humorous story from the 2000 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Dvorak led a group of wealthy investors to the Bellagio for dinner, where he proceeded to order thousands of dollars worth of expensive wine on their tab. Hearst describes Dvorak "skinning them alive" while entertaining the table with expert commentary on the wine's "nose" and characteristics.

51:37 You know, he did that kind of... He was really a student of wine. I mean you could throw out a year in a maker and it would just tell you well you know what that tasted like and he could describe it and it was really interesting You know, it's a wonder I'm not a full-blown alcoholic. Can I sneak one thing in here? Yeah please! The Consumer Electronics Show in 2000 John and I went down there because he was on a kick about going global everything is going global so we wanted to go from booth to booth and get people to talk about what they thought going global meant And wound up getting a bunch of silly answers

52:20 and a little crowd of people who followed him around, who I think were like deep pocket money or investors. And one of them said we should have dinner John said yeah we'll have dinner will go to the Bellagio and we all went to the Bellagio and John got the wine list And those four guys, I have to tell you. I think it was about 8500 bucks worth of wine and each one that came out another bottle would go about like three or 400 dollar bottle of wine he'd go oh this one's great! You're gonna love this and he poured for them He got him drunk. He had them pay for dinner It was hilarious what a great dinner and it was John in his prime just rolling out the details about the wine and they say hey This one has a big nose

53:06 Does it have a fright wig and big shoes? It might be a clown line. You know, joking around with them and realizing we're skinning these guys alive! I will never forget that in my entire life you know what a joy But later John didn't really travel much Mimi. He kind of liked to stay home I know that sometimes he would have this is he always talked about having some speaking engagement The he's on his way the airport realizes he forgot his belt go, but you went back and just wouldn't get on the plane Well a you know there for you know our being self-employed forever You know we had to can sometimes scramble because

Dvorak's International Travel and Speaking Tours

Mimi Dvorak discusses John's history with international travel, noting that he eventually grew tired of it after years of global junkets and speaking engagements. She recalls a family trip to South Africa where John flew first class while the rest of the family was in coach. Despite his extensive travels to places like Finland, Dvorak eventually preferred the comfort of his home.

53:51 our income could dive unexpectedly, significantly. So at one point when all the magazines started going out of business I started putting them on a speaking tour and at one point I was having them do like four keynotes a month and then another 12 other speaking things. You're like the momager what's going on here? He wasn't pleased I can say that so, you know he kind of got but he did travel. He traveled all over the world I mean he went on junkets everywhere. I Did he was you know? He did travel extensively at a certain point. You said it there's nowhere else. I really want to see So I've seen it all I'm done yeah Yeah, that was and I never liked to travel so you know that was fine with me um And I'm not a good traveler so John

54:46 You know, he would wear people ragged when he would go on these trips with them because you know He'd have PR people just like well I want to do this and if i'm going to Finland. I want to ride a reindeer That makes so much sense Yeah So I mean it's... Someone to try to keep up with I mean even when we would go on a trip family trip, you know We like we went to our longest trip was to South Africa and I've got two kids in tow. I'm in coach John's first class cuz South Africa South Africa is paying for the trip The nation of Africa Huh? The nation of South Africa was paying for the trip Yeah Okay Nice

55:37 And it was like, you know I was always afraid of getting lost at the airport because he would just walk like he was by himself so he'd be a mile ahead of me and I'd be with the bags and kids. Slow down! One of the wonderful things John would talk about is the many, many jobs he had. And it never ceased to amaze what job he had right down to can inspector that was another one of my favorites But I all and I egged him on all the time to tell this story because it's about his job as an air pollution inspector and a famous politician From now on she's Barbara Boxter She's the one as you recall that used to try to pick up

Air Pollution Inspector Stories and Barbara Boxer

Adam Curry plays a clip of Dvorak recounting his time as an air pollution inspector in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dvorak shares scandalous anecdotes about politicians Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, claiming Boxer would frequently "solicit" rides from inspectors. He characterizes Boxer as "doable" but annoying, while describing Feinstein as "prudish" and "dumb."

56:24 the air pollution inspectors. Oh, do tell the story again John you really want me to tell yes yes because I'd ideas yes we had two people a member of the board regional air pollution board one of them was boxing when it was Feinstein and have these two anecdotes about both of them but the boxer one is the most interesting because After one of the meetings she would always try to solicit one of the air pollution inspectors. We all had cars and you were an air inspection Yeah, I'm an expert on air pollution believe it or not yeah I believe so they we had these cars And she would find some okay Can I get a ride home? And they guys only guys would bitch about just because she'd make a pass at everybody Trying to get him in the sack now She's not that certainly back in the day. I think she's doable well

57:14 She still wears kind of a whorish makeup. Yeah, but that's what so great about it! Yes, but imagine just being 25 or longer years ago... long time ago she would look pretty good Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah no, I think she probably was but it was very annoying nobody wanted to take her driver and it was like everyone scattered when she came out of these meetings She looks kind of like a news anchor you know? She's sexy! How is her body? Was it okay back then? I don't know...I never fucked her. Whatever the case It would be the funniest thing to watch everyone scatter jump in their car shit and drive off Hey man, I gotta pick up the kids

57:54 It looks like she had dark hair back in the day. She still does no, no No, she's like she's like blondish darkest blonde Anyway, so black hairs are quite so she is a super duper Obama bot and here's her contributions dumb by the way That's a real problem How about how about Feinstein? Was she whorish too? No, not at all. But she was a... no just the opposite she's very prudish and she was but she was also she was I would say she was even dumber Well listen you can't fix stupid we all know that that's what we say here in Texas It was um a rare f-bomb from John C Dvorak And we would always catch each other on stuff

Dvorak's Health and Final Friday Dinners

Mimi and JC Dvorak discuss the upcoming memorial services and John's recent health struggles following heart surgery. JC shares how John would "test" people's wine palates during their final Friday dinners, sometimes secretly serving California wines to see if they would trigger a reaction. Mimi notes the irony of choosing a funeral home that John had previously inspected in his professional capacity.

58:40 You know, if we were constantly saying something like fact of the matter or anyway or whatever it was. We would always be checking each other on the show Oh you said it! oh no...you gotta stop saying that It was just a wonderful experience to be in conversation with him for almost 6-7 hours a week Some of it, yes ma'am. So actually him being an air pollution inspector is why I picked the funeral home because he used to inspect it because its also a crematorium No! No! You know if you gave it clean bill health I was gonna go for it

59:24 So if you don't so we there is going to be a friends and family memorial I believe you want to tell us what's happening Well, we need to plan it. So all will figure it out by Sunday When I speak to you again? So yeah We're gonna have a well we're having a friends and family Memorial that were sending out invitations too And then we're gonna have a public one for everyone But we have to put it together and I'm you know You know, it's been a little. It also seems like a lot of people are already organizing meetups in his honor which I think is a great way to do it. Absolutely! I love that people are doing that. I think we lost Will not sure if he's coming back or not. Is JC still there? Yeah, JC's here.

1:00:15 Some of the talk JC I I Was just gonna go back to the wine thing, but no conditions moved on go so at that not the table Which I think was mentioned in the past in the show which is that we do a we've been doing a dinner every Friday And he would bring out these wines, and it would be—he'd explain the whole background of the wine. But we wouldn't even—it would hold back one important fact. So we try it and you go like what do you think? And we'll go oh that's really good! He said okay now this one is. Then we tried it, and I was like this is even better! And he was like how much better?!

1:00:53 And then he would tap his finger on one of the bottles and say, $10. Exactly! Exactly right. He loved that. He loved finding those bargains. He did. With the wine I started having reactions to California wine and he didn't trust it because I'd get really bad headaches because whatever they do with the yeast who knows? He had a theory on it So what he'd do is, just to test me every once in a while he pour wine and he be staring at me and I'll be like oh yeah. He's trying to slip a California wine to see what happens. Oh wow! No way! Always

The Dvorak Family Vinegar Collection

JC and Brennan describe a massive "breeding line" of vinegar jugs in the house, featuring different lineages and "purebreds." While the long-promised "Vinegar Book" was never published as a standalone, Mimi confirms it will be included as a chapter in an upcoming Dvorak family cookbook.

1:02:17 Sour Dvorak. Sour Dvorak about douchebags you've known, it will be... The Vinegar Book has now become a chapter in the Dvorak family cookbook coming out later this year. Pop-out! So where are we with the Vinegar Book Mimi? Oh it's done It is done We have to edit and get it laid out It's done And will it stand alone or indeed part of the Dvorak family cookbook? Well the Vinegar book, the vinegar isn't It wasn't enough for a book, and pamphlet maybe. No kidding! A giblet as we call it. Brennan actually is the one who John taught everything about his vinegar so... Really? Yeah and then he tried to get me to write the chapter for him. And then he edited it. He didn't even do that himself. It's called delegation. But The Family Cookbook is going to be out hopefully soon

1:03:16 I learned something when i was talking to Mimi and Jay and Brennan the other night that, I don't know if you Adam know this but John has a vinegar collection. Yes I did yes mothers and all kinds of stuff in jars I'm sure. That he's been raising for like 60 years that I didn't know. I figured he was gonna kill somebody with it eventually Yeah, he's got cultures and you know basically you know cuz he'd open wine and go yeah this would be good vinegar So they don't put a different bottle of wine so yeah It's very weird I always found it to be at the biggest annoyance of my life But you know

1:03:56 Well, being his wife was not the easiest. But it's being understated... This is being understated a bit there is basically a system of large like gallon uh what's then? There's like those big brew jugs They're not big, they're magnums. They're the big glass... it's like what you make beer with. Cider mugs! Yeah. And there's a whole system of them and they have different lineages and there's a whole breeding line. There's pure breads of vinegar. There's a whole system by which they get mixed or not mixed. It's not like you can imagine just a series of bottles, or mason jars in a cabinet that's not what it is. It's a region of the house that is full of jugs

1:04:41 And then it slowly expands when he opens a bottle of wine. He would be like, oh It's fine and they put some paper towel in it Put it with the rest of the collection and over months it would grow and I'd be like dad This is getting out of control We have to go through it and me and Brennan would help him just like drink it, spit it out and be like oh that's terrible. And by about 10 bottles you have completely burned the inside of your mouth and no food or flavor means anything and then he'll pull out a wine and have you try it And he could still taste it. He was remarkable! He could still get the notes, and my whole sinuses were fried. There's also a fun little gag that he had where you take one of the bottles out from the vinegar collection which he had for like 10 years and points at age and year and is like try this! I'm like oh boy...and it just normal wine

CHAPTER 19 / 150 Discussion

The "I Got Ants" Jingle and Household Pests

Adam Curry plays the famous "I Got Ants" jingle, created by the late Sir Saturday Night Bill based on Dvorak's real-life struggle with an ant infestation. JC Dvorak provides context, explaining that their house was built on a massive ant hill, leading to swarms so thick the floor appeared to move. John's primary solution for the "Chinese army" of ants was simply to vacuum them up.

ants· jingle· sir saturday night bill· vacuuming· infestation

1:05:39 Because it was like, uh... It had like an, uh... It was like a antibacterial or had some sort of weird preservative in it. And so just exactly the same as when I first opened and he was just like see? That was the whole point of it! Just no further argument Love that Yeah Some of John's stories turned into jingles that people just wanted to hear over and over and over again Got ants ants is without a doubt a fan favorite so actually I'll play the ants jingle, and then I want to play another one in the original and

1:06:15 The original version this was done by Sir Saturday night Bill who passed away I think earlier Christmas last year, but this without a doubt is one of the most requested Jingles that we played in the donation segment. It's a classic I got hands I got ants. Uh, I don't know if we had a- you know ants... We had ant invasion uh... I was thinking if you de- If you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine, fine grind black pepper? We were having dinner and yeah!

1:07:04 I got an ant, uh somehow in the meal and i ate it. These things are peppery! I got ants... I got ants I've got ants.

1:07:42 I got ants. I got ants. I got ants. Ants? ANTS! And, you know that was real... John was such a complete... just a wealth of material that people love to mix and remix and do things with. And so, yeah was that JC? No it's me the ants thing we live on an ant hill yes we're very well aware in the first couple days were in the house I woke up to the bed engulfed with ants! I never heard this part of the story

1:08:41 And I was like, I hate this house. You'd see one and you go uh-oh! Watch out when you see one that means again they would only swarm They wouldn't swarm at any normal time like there wasn't a season It was just whenever they felt like they built up because I would vacuum them up That was part of his tip yes vacuum him up yeah that was part of the tip But it was like a constant battle and it was like the Chinese army attacking They would build up for awhile then they just swarm So yeah, when he said he had ants you know it wasn't like most people go. I've got ants in the house No It'd be like the floor is moving oh no I mean John was always truth that never exaggerated about anything particularly his disdain for

1:09:25 a certain habit people have on airplanes. Just go for it John, tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it will result in fights breaking out because they're just so annoying to watch guy takes his bag of peanuts and he throws a pile of them into his palm of his hand and then he makes a fist around the nuts and then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole. Stop! And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his fists, and he does it again He shakes and throws and shakes and throws It is annoying as hell to watch

CHAPTER 20 / 150 Discussion

Airplane Etiquette and the "Fisting Nuts" Peeve

A classic Dvorak "pet peeve" is revisited: his intense disdain for people who eat snacks on airplanes using what he called the "fisting method." Dvorak describes the "nasty" habit of pouring nuts into a palm and shaking them into the mouth. Despite Dvorak's personal dislike for the resulting "fisting nuts" musical remix, it remained a favorite among the No Agenda audience.

1:10:10 Oh my gosh, they just needed porn music. Your description is fabulous I gotta produce that There is the part of it and you can look at all these things as obscene But that's exactly what you see this guy shaking his fist and popping a peanut It's nasty. It's very nasty And whenever Tina and I are flying we look at each other like I'm gonna do it I'm gonna fist him I'm fisting. So, I know that John actually never really liked this mix that came in of fisting nuts but it was another fan favorite Just go for it John tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane Okay...I see this on the airplane and its very annoying And I think it will result in fights breaking out because they're just so annoying to watch Guy takes his bag of peanuts and throws a pile into his palm

1:11:04 palm of his hand and then he makes a fist around the nuts. And then he shakes his fist to try and bring a nut into the little hole. And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his spit. Then he does it again, he shakes and throws and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to watch! Oh Mimi tell me he hated that one Oh no, John and I had a very similar sense of strange humor. I thought it was very funny. Oh good, oh good. Because whenever someone asked me like, ah yeah fisting nuts, he always groused about that one

The BB King Motorcycle Trip and Hypothermia

Adam Curry plays his "all-time favorite" Dvorak story involving a 24-year-old John riding a Kawasaki motorcycle to Lake Tahoe to see BB King. After winning money gambling, Dvorak attempted to ride home in freezing temperatures, resulting in severe hypothermia. The story concludes with a failed attempt to pick up a beautiful hitchhiker because his jaw was frozen shut, causing her to pull a gun on him.

1:11:52 One more story, this is my absolute all-time favorite John T. Dvorak story and we haven't referred to it in many many years but and this is young Dvorak and it was just so John and maybe you'll be able to give us some backstory... You probably didn't even know John at the time Mimi but The famous what this is the famous motorcycle story here we go. I took my motorcycle up to Tahoe To see BB King's be up there to see BBK and I figured a gamble how old were you? I don't remember 24 And something like that. You have like long flowing hair, and no I get I have very thin hair I still had the pretty much thing here was the motorcycle kind of motorcycle. It was a Kawasaki triple

1:12:42 Rice burner, okay. Oh it was fast. Yeah rice burner. Anyway hair would if I got too long i'd get these split ends and make my face itch so I never could grow really long hair drive me nuts. So I go up there and i go to the tables before the concert and I win, I don't know two three hundred dollars and decide that instead of spending the night I'm gonna come back after the BB King concert. Go watch it and had a great seat right in front was like a lounge act BB king. And you were doing blow or just drinking scotch? No. Scotch? No. Even weed? I'm on a motorcycle. You know, it's bad enough with the big gouges in Highway 80 that you could get killed just driving back so i say the concert was around midnight and I said hell with it! I'm driving home...I'll save the hotel costs and I'll just drive home mm-hmm So its not quite snowing but it's below zero so it's freezing out. I got all this gear on me. You're aware that it's snowing?

1:13:44 But I'm going to get there. Once I get down the hill, it's not going to be snowing for long. Wow! So what do you call when you're getting too cold? It's called hypothermia. Hypothermia. I start getting hypothermia and so I go into a gas station and make the mistake of warming up because if you're gonna be cold yet, you don't want to warm-cold warm-cold So I started shivering like a maniac after i left the gas station, after it warmed up. And so I started driving on the entrance there is a beautiful woman hitchhiking! I mean dynamite you can see she was dressed up in a lot of gear and you just see her face fantastic and so she's hitchhiking and I pull over to ask her if she wants to go but

1:14:37 I'm so cold and freezing, i say to her... And she takes a look at me like im a crazy guy She pulls out her gun No! She slowly walks backwards like Homer Simpson says no thanks. And i realize like... So i said fuck it and i just drove off Yeah thats right i said but that ain't fair I couldn't talk! How to Pick Up Chicks by John C. Dvorak One of my favorite stories So Adam, do we have a thing? Did Andrew Horowitz record something too? Yes we did and i'm glad you said that because I was going to suggest the following um...I talked him for about twenty minutes and you know the DHM plug started not long after No Agenda Right Like maybe less than a year I think

Andrew Horowitz on the DH Unplugged Partnership

Financial commentator Andrew Horowitz joins the show via a pre-recorded segment to discuss his 18-year partnership with Dvorak on the "DH Unplugged" podcast. Horowitz reflects on Dvorak's brilliance and their ability to disagree on-air without ever remaining angry afterward. He also humorously critiques Dvorak's "horrible" text messaging habits and all-caps corrections regarding show titles.

andrew horowitz· dh unplugged· financial podcast· text messaging· friendship

1:15:36 Yeah, it was pretty quick and Andrew he had a meniscus operation today and He was under general anesthesia And so he really wanted to be a part of this and he's been a big part of John's life too So I recorded about 20 minutes with him. I suggest everybody Who's on the on the clean feed you can? sit back, relax for a second and then maybe after that just looking at the time we come back and we start seeing what Gitmo Nation has to say for John? I think that's a lovely idea. Yeah all right let's go to my conversation with Andrew Horowitz who for many many years...at least 17

1:16:25 18 years on Tuesday nights did the DHM plug show with John C. Dvorak. All right, Andrew we're sorry that you are not able to be here with us live on Thursday but this is the next best thing yeah I am possibly right now either recovering Or still sleeping, I don't know. What's wrong with you? Just bring a rig into the hospital! This is no problem come on man let's not be all pussy about it. Fortunately it's outpatients just don't get anybody crazy because they get all nervous now that we're all gonna leave them. You know? Oh man... It was just a little meniscus repair so um thats happening tomorrow but... But I love the video you put on X that was just-I could not have said better. It was just so perfect

1:17:13 You know what, he was such an influence and such... Listen. He was so kooky but at the same time so brilliant Did you ever have a disagreement with him on the show? Or like anger type stuff ever that carried over until the end because I was just telling Tina Like we would get into let's call them disagreements But, you know certainly in the earlier years I was pretty hot-headed and then after the show we'd be arguing loudly. But it always ended like this... Okay should we do the art? Yeah let's see the art all right! We never ever ever

1:17:58 Left the show angry at each other. It's like that rule that I have in my house is never go to bed angry Well, that's in the Bible my brother Stay awake all night because I'm so pissed off. I just want to go to bed Never never I really There was not a lot of controversial stuff that we talked about I guess well yes it was but we were always He was kind of on one side of the discussion I was kind of on the other but it was never at a point where that it got so heated, that I recall... That i was worried like am I ever going to do another show with this guy? This rat scoundrel. No never got like that. See I never had that either we never ever had that We always ended and then I see you Thursday. By the way thats how The Last Show ended. I'm answer you at the adios. That was it! Clicked that was hit. Although to be honest about it he sent me a text message and let's see if I can find this now

1:18:58 He sent me a text message after the show and what was it? Oh man, he says... All uppercase the title is fucked up by the way on the site one quote mark with a word copy So down below it says copy on the show number page, and I said I will fix and they said but why are you yelling? And once again we gotta say of all John's brilliance and his eloquence and his ability to kind of rev it up and back it off, and all the beautiful things he did. He was a horrible texter. Horrible! Not just that but I mean...I developed an entire new interpretation of John C. Dvorak language and spelling because there's this clip

CHAPTER 23 / 150 Discussion

The Origins of No Agenda and DH Unplugged

Curry and Horowitz trace the origins of their respective shows back to 2007 and 2008. Horowitz recalls starting "DH Unplugged" after a series of long, private phone calls with Dvorak during the onset of the 2008 financial crisis. Similarly, Curry and Dvorak began "No Agenda" by recording their casual Skype conversations while Curry was living in London and Dvorak was in San Francisco.

podshow· mevio· leo laporte· 2008 financial crisis· skype

1:19:57 Okay. You would have different spelling or you know, you would have one clip will be number one number two would be T W O I mean he definitely and this is not something new this went on from the beginning He was amazing by the way i did a little research on something just want to kind of make sure i say this note so no agenda First episode, October 26th 2007. Right? I think that's correct. I think it was 2008 actually Really?! I think so No no! You're right it was 2007 because before Obama became president you're right 2007 yes The Discipline Investor by the way March 7th 2007

1:20:43 Now, so a few months before that. I want to go to the genesis of that. I don't mean to interrupt because how you met was through Podshow or Mevio? Is that how it happened? I think either that or Leo Laporte we were... There was something between Mevio, Podshow and I think I think i went out to leela port to do that. I was doing something california Leo invited me on his show is that time when the whole world was about to implode with technology somewhere along the lines there because just to kind of give you the advance on that somewhere between March 7 2007 and November 2008, that's one dh and plug started Wow Because if I recall

1:21:25 You came in, you wanted to talk to Ron Bloom. Oh yes! Because you were like hey these Mevio guys... Maybe it was Podshow then? I don't remember we had changed the Mevio and uh..I remember meeting him like oh that's an interesting guy but then I remember Dvorak immediately going yeah this Horowitz guy should do something with him And i'm like I dunno what are we gonna do with the whole system We didn't know what we were doing at all with Mevio and Podshow And all I know is that he kept in touch with you and then suddenly we're doing a show together. That's how I kind of recall it. Yeah, that was what happened and he and I started talking literally once a week. This is true story. Once a week...I remember this very distinctly because I was having a basic panic attack meltdown late 2007

1:22:13 And I remember we started talking and talking finance, and we talked for like an hour. And I remember so distinctly me walking around my pool in my backyard like circle, circle, circle... Is this because you saw the collapse coming of 2008? Oh wow! Yeah yeah okay. I was freaking out. I was totally freaking out. And he's talking to me and everybody else is like shut up And John's like, let's do a show. Actually he said to me after many many weeks of us just talking he goes you know what? I'm like what John? He goes people would love to hear this! I'm like what are you talking about? Who wants to hear this?! That is exactly the same way we started because i was in London and I'd come out to San Francisco every couple of weeks and then be back in London and then we just talk on Skype at the time

1:22:59 It would be talking and he said, you know we should record this. I'm like okay And that was literally how we started like okay? So that was the same with you guys That's interesting a lot of you were in London for a while after because the first time I ever met you in person Was it London when you brought your son to I brought my son and you showed me that you were carrying Like a piece of gold on you or something like that gold on me just in case. Just in case it all goes to crap, man I got my gold! So John is really the kind of the common denominator... He's the glue between us two yeah

Dvorak's Social Quirks and Future of the Show

Andrew Horowitz shares memories of Dvorak attending his wedding and a particularly "creepy" Zoom Thanksgiving during the pandemic. The discussion turns to the future of Dvorak's various media projects, with Horowitz and Curry expressing uncertainty about how to continue without him. They encourage listeners to join the mailing lists for updates on the "next generation" of their broadcasts.

wedding· zoom thanksgiving· podcast future· mailing list· the keeper

1:23:42 Yeah, exactly. And of course we attended your wedding with your pretty and we spent other times together I never really spent a lot of time with John personally because we spent all this time weekly I think the same thing was you well, I mean We got together here and there maybe Literally in our lifetimes maybe if it was four times It was a lot You know just about the wedding so I'll always remember this So yeah, I said John you gotta come be you know, you named her The Keeper you gotta come to the wedding Then you and Mimi both got to come. So the first of all, they came on separate flights like okay whatever And then we had a for friends and family kind of come by the house hang out a little bit And it was from I don't know from six to eight and like at five minutes to eight John shows up in rental car He comes in hey hey how are you doing? Oh, I thought it was starting at 8. Hey you got a TV I gotta watch The Game Yeah! I remember! And he starts watching The Game

1:24:40 And he wasn't quite in party clothes if I remember correctly. No, no not at all and that was John you know? That was John it's just yeah man I don't know about you because we're in a unique situation where both did a very long-running podcast with him and for me is like People have to understand, and I'm sure it was the same with you. It wasn't like Adam and John sat down and played some clips and did a show. Honestly my whole mission most of the time was...I want either make him laugh or say something that he thinks is really cool or good

1:25:25 That was really most of the show to me. And, you know and I love arguing or pushing back or any of that stuff but it... You know it's like I'm at a loss now It's like I am so at a loss as to what to do! I don't know how you feel but I'm like you can't just plug someone in and say oh this is DH unplugged or this has no agenda you just can't do that No But, for the audience by the way we're going to figure out something. I'm not sure what that's gonna be and we just put on DHMplugs.com We put a new link right on front page actually for to get in the mailing list of newsletter in case somebody wants to you know not be lost about this will have updates of what is happening on that next week I think we are having JC on the show

1:26:12 Welcome back. And I think Mimi wants to come on and say a few things too, but definitely JC the audience liked him so we'll see what goes on with that and I know...I think I know that John would like something to continue. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it looks like. I don't know how its gonna play but I know that he'd want this show to go on right? You know I was thinking about John all of these different things I loved about him and one of the things that annoyed the crap out of me but which was great always, always we're talking on this show and i would talk about something and I'd stop trying to get any response from him.

CHAPTER 25 / 150 Discussion

Dvorak's Broadcasting Philosophy and Audio Habits

Curry and Horowitz discuss Dvorak's unique broadcasting style, specifically his use of the "pregnant pause" and his refusal to wear headphones during recordings. Despite being a seasoned broadcaster who understood compression and levels, Dvorak often struggled with technical settings, leading to "digitized" audio. He famously dismissed these issues by telling his co-hosts to "turn down your speakers."

pregnant pause· headphones· heil pr40· broadcasting· audio quality

1:26:53 This pregnant pause. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah the family long pause Do I say do we get in there? Do you ever forget this in the early days of Bluetooth headsets people would email me and say You know when when you guys have that long pause my Bluetooth headset disconnects And I started to find that to be a feature I'm like oh this is kind of cool We have a pause which is very you don't hear many pauses or in podcasts or radio, you know people always trying to fill the gaps. I started to really enjoy it like oh yeah, I want people to be like did my phone just stop? They looked out and then all of a sudden a voice would come. I love that we both, John and I both discussed it many times. I loved the silence. Silence is so powerful. Good job very good Andrew very good! Good job I love that man

1:27:53 No, but he would do that and I would be always offsided when he does that. Like to go down the next story? Should I say something just say John... So I ended up going so what are you thinking? You know, I'd have to wait. John, what's your take on that? Or or the best which is usually what would happen was I'd go into the next story and all of a sudden, Sherp up! He's talking about the other story. Oh okay we'll go back to that yeah So there's the one thing that I feel that you and I have in common. We have a lot of things in common, but we understood John for who he was and what he was and I think in general that the mass audiences

1:28:37 They didn't understand him. Does that make any sense? Yeah, I mean...I think a lot of people saw him as a- Or maybe I should say not the mass audiences but the big broadcasters. No they definitely don't. They did not understand him! They didn't get the humor and they didn't see the uniqueness And John was a broadcaster, man. We talked about levels and compression and we talked about this stuff all the time he really really understood broadcasting extremely well

1:29:20 But then again, he would be on the show and I think after reboot my computer's not working. There was always something going on with that. The mic doesn't work get closer is over modulating and my show...I don't know what the story was but every time we'd come on through the opening of the show yeah? He'd come on and he say I'm John C. Dvorak now there was a time when the opening would come and all of a sudden he'd just chime in out of nowhere, what's going on? He goes...I didn't hear the opening! What do you mean?! And I guess it was a setting that wasn't right on my system or something? How long is that going on?" And he would just guess, oh I'll start here. I don't know if last month or so. This is something I can only discuss with you. What drove me crazy is he never wore headphones

1:30:18 Yeah, I know. You and I are crazy audio file dudes with the sounds gotta be just right or sitting here you have to have the big bass, the aural exciter, the whole thing, the compression... Right we can have all of that stuff! And John's got his Heil PR40 that he loves which i'm looking at money that I bought. I bought that one because he had it and I got the voice electro-voice cause you've got it um then i'm talking about right now but he would talk on that end but even come on and it would be like this I'm doing something like... What happened? Where is that? If it would come out, the rest of the show would be fine. Between your show and our show, he'd come on Thursday's show after the Tuesday show and it'll be like... And then invariably it will be completely digitized He sounds like... But it's always the same

1:31:14 Always the same answer. I didn't change anything! Nothing's changed. Turn down your speakers! It was always something, it was always something... When i'm when i just love seeing the outpouring of people how many people oh just You know they're shocked. I mean you and I are shocked everybody's shocked, but the degree Of people just going whoa wait a minute no no No this guy was a part of my life is it part of my week like no? This can't be it's really heartwarming to see because you know John was polarizing

CHAPTER 26 / 150 Discussion

Life Lessons and the Fragility of Time

Reflecting on Dvorak's passing at age 80, Curry and Horowitz discuss the brevity of life and the importance of making a mark on the world. Curry reiterates the story of Dvorak's "fake" age, noting that John wanted the New York Times called out for their lack of fact-checking. They encourage listeners to view Dvorak's life as a lesson in questioning authority and being a "mensch."

mortality· age· wired magazine· new york times· legacy

1:32:07 You know, and people email me about, hey Dvorak. And people email him, ah Curry. But those same people are like oh wow what just happened here? I think my hope with this is always... This by the way is the second friend that I've lost in the last month or so. Last friend had cancer he was 65 years old and uh I hope Seriously, I know that these things could be those moments that are just like you have that inner thought and you have that ability to Start to do some introspection and looking at your life But I hope it lasts. People recognize not only how great John was but how short life is He was 74 years old! Well okay so you probably don't know the story So i should probably let you know

1:32:58 And this will be discussed, may have already been discussed in our live show here. When we started doing birthdays I can't remember exactly how I found out but I found out that John was really six years older than he claimed to be And he told me, he said no-no you have to understand that Wired Magazine once wrote down my birthdate incorrectly and the New York Times just copied that without fact checking. He said several times so if I die before you need to call out the New York Times as bullcrap! So every year when his birthday came around

1:33:46 and we do a donation for the number, I would always say after the show you know if you weren't a liar about your age would be making more money. Oh god! So yeah he was 80 He was 80 and... And i've told some close friends over the years like what? Said oh yeah You have no idea This guy is spry and I think our shows kept him you know kept him that way too Kept him active and busy and doing stuff Yeah, he was 80. Shocked to hear that you didn't know right? I'm trying to look up his...I actually have his age right here but i can't seem to get into my system to do this right now Oh because you have some financial documents Yes yeah it was from 46 oh here we go

1:34:31 This should go in. Now you're going to fact check me? Trust me, trust me, trust me and it was still young no matter how many slices of course the point I'm making here is that life is really short and if you don't think it is trust me it starts speeding up its freaking July already yeah it's speeding up like crazy things are happening sitting on the couch And just, you know doing nothing during the day and not making a mark on this earth. I mean John made a mark whether it's his theoretical vinegar book that he is going to put out or his other cycle books that maybe will come out one day Or whatever it is but he made a mark Was it The Depression Book? Yeah there are a lot of books in the works

Dvorak's Influence on Personal Growth and Hobbies

Horowitz credits Dvorak with helping him become more comfortable sharing personal stories and recipes on-air, despite his professional background in finance. Dvorak also influenced Curry's interests, such as getting him into ham radio. They describe Dvorak as a mentor who taught them how to think independently and appreciate the "kook" or "weirdo" who doesn't toe the line.

1:35:18 There's so many things I appreciate about him. He got me into ham radio, I love that he got me into ham radio but his incessant... nahh I've got the phone in a drawer And now, when I drive around town and use a map or I drive from memory. That was just one of those things that made him so unique and I always took that to heart you know he taught me a lot more than I ever taught him. He definitely...I could say

1:35:56 I mean, he's a great guy. how to think, how to question. How do you know be a mensch? Yeah A person of class, a good family man and just the whole his whole way of being. Listen he has flaws we know that okay We could talk about those too but it's way of being and how he gave back His whole education of others, passing it along and creating a... leaving things in a better way than he found them. Yes I think was

1:36:41 Was great and it's an incredible lesson for all of us And it's a time if you are touched by this if you are moved by this is coming from rabbi Horowitz now So the thing is that If we take this moment and absorb it as a learning moment and in recognition of the fragility of life I think it's extraordinarily important to, what am i doing all this for? I'm screwing around with...I don't know whatever you're doing right. Well I'm screwing around with this wasting my time doing that who am I helping what am I doing where is it going Is it just mental masturbation or is it something that can actually help? I know that for me there was a few things I've done in my life and like okay That was one of those points that could say that that is something that can be passed on that future generations I can educate help

1:37:37 and impart some information. Be a part of that, I think people should recognize that from John and take that as his parting gift. Oh, that's really good, that's rich! I love that for me it's also along those lines the guy you think is the kook or the weirdo or the oddball is the guy you're gonna learn the most from then the guy or gal you should pay attention to because these are the people that often they don't toe the line They don't maybe fit in. They might wear Crocs, I'm sorry Speedos whatever brand it was. It was Crocs as far as I am concerned and you guys invested in Crocs too that's crazy.

1:38:23 You want to know something interesting? I'll tell you something interesting. Usually, I'm kind of like...I don't talk a lot about my stuff, my things He brought that all out on me! I was very comfortable talking about how all these issues that I had and he knew them all Right we would talk about something Oh, you're going the airport people are gonna take off their shoes and walk through line And you're gonna freak out I'm like, yes that is true. Oh we'd have recipes? We talk about recipes! Like we had this financial show and all of a sudden like can I tell you about this turkey that I made last night? So it was great it was very comfortable and he was that way. He would tell me what do you think of that? Not so good. Okay no thanks but move on. It's just a loving person wonderful person um it's devastating

Final Tributes and the "De-Douching" of Andrew Horowitz

The hosts acknowledge Dvorak's massive reach across Tech TV, Wired, and various podcasts, noting how he successfully migrated audiences between platforms. In a lighthearted moment, Adam Curry officially "de-douches" Andrew Horowitz, a show tradition for long-time contributors. Horowitz expresses a sense of relief as they prepare to transition into the final segment of the memorial show.

And I really love how our shows intersected And also how John was compartmentalized, like no I don't want to talk about it. We talked about that on Horowitz and I'm sure he did similar stuff with the undisputed champion. Or the little pick-the fights that he'd say oh you didn't listen this week? Adam's wrote a lot about you and I'm like uh huh... Well we, John and I were usually in cahoots about that He said yeah do that, do that, say that You didn't listen what do you mean?!

1:42:07 It was the weirdest thing ever. Well, we appreciate the family vibe but this is like what was this? Yeah, this is weird man.

1:46:07 with data and with details, and it wasn't just like he told you why he thought a certain way. And everything that he always said to me had always resonated, I didn't necessarily agree with it all...I mean most of it but even when I didn't, it still resonated He made everybody think about what he said no matter if they agreed or not But, yeah.

Keeping me company in the shower and on long daily dog walks It was such a relief to finally have a show where so many others saw through all of the fibs from the governments and the M5M without losing our minds.

2:39:14 It wasn't long before John completely grew on me. At first I thought he was a cranky old curmudgeon, but it turned out that cranky old curmudgeon was exactly what i needed His signature bullcrap and endless spirited bickering were the heart of the show He never won over my girlfriend despite her initial hesitation over the pro-Trump stances She got hit in the mouth so hard by John then she beat me to donating And now she wants to start a no agenda meetup here in Toronto Can't kind of stand enough. You two build something truly special, sending strength to you and the whole no agenda family. JCD will be deeply missed. May his soul rest in peace.

Tion and Andrew, South African Library and Kafkaesque

Andrew, donating from Amsterdam, recalled reading John C. Dvorak's columns in PC Magazine as a young boy in South Africa 30 years ago. He noted that Dvorak's writing was the first place he ever encountered the word "Kafkaesque," which sparked a lifelong appreciation for Franz Kafka's work. The donors emphasized that Dvorak touched more lives than he likely realized.

I used to read PC magazine editions borrowed from the public library and despite reading so many the only thing i can remember for them was that he read an article written by him! I thought his last name was merely a pen name related to the keyboard layout And it was the first time had ever seen the word Kafkaesque used If I recall correctly He was complaining about something...I found it more real than anything else I'd read

3:07:13 Probably not coincidental, I later learned to appreciate Kafka's work as well. Maybe it has something to do with John's reference Later on, rediscovering him through the show was an unexpected delight. He touched many people's lives in positive ways perhaps more than he realized Thank you for everything and sending you all our strength and love during this sad and difficult time Tionne & Andrew We'll take the next few so you can get some water Russ Cheatwood Sand Springs Oklahoma $198.89 no note Double of Karma You've got karma Sir Galteran of the gutland 198 188 and 88 cents plus 198 I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

3:10:51 Even though I've never met him, I love and adore him. His giggle laugh always made me smile." I loved the Zephyr reports and it always caught me off guard in the best way when John made saucy jokes or dropped the elusive F-bomb He could hardly ever pronounce Meowdeson And i wouldn't have it any other way! I absolutely loved hearing him butcher Dutch cities... ...and will never forget how he made fun of my round table requests when I was damed Pellegrino and purring kitties Plenty of items weren't edible John I also once sent in a check with beagles on it, especially for John. He thought Adam said that had bagels! I had a nice exasperated laugh at that one as well. I've included a photo taken at the Delray Beach meetup where I was blessed to meet Adam and Tina for a second time and i think it shows my enthusiastic feelings for John he will truly be missed by so many people may he live on forever in our hearts and memories oh my god listen to that horn cheers john i just like to stop for

3:11:48 an audio note from Sir Patrick, Duke of the South. And I didn't know if he would be in the donations or not but he is by far the most well-traveled man in Noah's generation has been to almost every single meetup and you go to London up there's Patrick it did Patrick Coble Duke of the South Amsterdam oh there's Patrick Oh doesn't matter where he would show up and I really wanted to share his heartfelt Audio note with everyone. John, I'll try to keep this note as short as possible because i know how you feel about show notes You were an amazing man who lived an amazing life did amazing things had an amazing family and you built With Adam the best podcast in the universe for real man no joking? I was a fan of you in the 80s And when I heard you had a podcast I knew I wanted to hear it

3:12:43 When I heard that Adam was on there, I was even more excited because I had been reading your content for so many years and building as you were building your signature buzzkill brand along with listening to Adam and doing his things on MTV. You will always be a technology legend with your thoughts on all the things over the years even the mouse I don't think you knew when you started No Agenda that you wouldn't just be talking to an acquaintance once a week, twice a week but actually making a brother and growing your family with Adam. The No Agenda community that you two have built has changed the world in many ways that can never be quantified or typed in a note or books or books it has become a force of nature. I think an important chapter of this show started wanting it to change

3:13:37 when meetups were put together and which those meetups impacted the people listening to a podcast in a way that has never been done before and never will be. I wanted to make sure and call out Sir Daniel, of the No Agenda Meetup site for changing the no agenda culture because of those meetups people around the world have met and relationships and weddings and kids and things have all happened around the world because of those meetups I was able to be blessed and able to hang out, get to hang out with you a couple times. And get to go...get you out of the house to do a meet up at the Sacramento Train Museum and ride the Zephyr with you in the family

3:14:20 which will always be a core memory. That day I got to sit back on the train and at the meetup and at the restaurant, just hear your stories and see you do your thing. And see you talk to the community them talk to you that you had built it was amazing Because of those meetups, I've been able to go to meetups all over the world and run into Sir Mark and Dame Astrid in Japan. And Duke Nussbaum and Kevin Dills and many other knights... ...and a uncountable amount of producers and even a couple douchebags too! You changed my life by getting me deeper into tech, which started my career. But you and Adam made a bigger impact on my critical thinking and being a crackpot but also a buzzkill skeptic of things too. And we always need to remember to keep things simple Occam's razor style

3:15:14 You and Adam are the hardest working podcasters, building your lives around the show. Working holidays and your dedication is unparalleled to any other show in the multiverse." You always said that no one should ever agree to everything you say...and shouldn't And the people that I've met all over the world and seen and listened too Are a testament of that Is that we can come together with a common critical thinking goal Who would have known a podcast that I listened to back on March 6th, 2008 called No Agenda with the name called Episode 20 called Never Say No To A Soldier would've changed my life this much. Wow this note kind of went long John sorry about that but lastly we love you and your family and the family you have built all around the world We will deeply miss you but your buzzkill in this community will live on forever

3:18:30 Needless to say, we found our true joy in listening to John and Adam on the best podcast in the universe. The No Agenda Show! Attached photo was from what we consider one of the earliest, if not the very first NA no agenda meetups in New York City in 2016 at Sparks Restaurant. We told John that neither of us had Facebook accounts and he immediately put his arm around us right away and congratulated on our achievement. Mimi's expression behind us was priceless. John, we will miss you! Rest In Peace Godspeed Love And Light Monica & Jerry Figierski? Yes. Riley Murdoch?!

A storyteller wanting to impart his vision and wisdom to whoever wanted to listen and occasionally well often gripe about the world as we all do of course The way he wrote his essays in columns was catching to the eye always turning the gears of my mind about whatever this is subject

Dear Adam and Mimi and family I want to share my memory of John from when he visited Michigan for a speaking engagement and asked me to meet any local producers so some of us met him at Ann Arbor Brewing Company on Monday May 19th 2014 See attached photo of us him that night. Jeff Lundeberg created a list serve to stay in touch with John and each of us that week, and John arranged his second meet up on Thursday May 22nd at Ironwood Grill and then the Box Bar in Plymouth. I arrived late to the box bar after my friend Ryan let me drive his Lotus X

4:11:52 Exige? I'm not good with word. At a car club event, and John and I talked about that and cars in general for almost an hour at an outside table after many had gone home. John loved cars and I cherished that time chatting with him on that clear spring night. A month or so afterward he nicknamed us No Agenda Local 1 because he kept meeting thanks to Jeff's list serve that made it easy to keep it going. I want thank John for bringing us all together and I hope that Jeff, Lisa, Alicia Scott Brian Aaron and others from those initial two meetups are all doing well bless you Adam and the Dvorak family in this time of grief. I close with John's email message the list as he was setting up our Thursday night meetup It made me laugh then and still does now

4:12:37 We had a meeting yesterday at ABC in Ann Arbor. It was great, although I'll be confusing names for awhile. Today i'm headed to the Detroit Institute of Arts Museum. Use this mailing list! I think we can do an expanded meetup from the new folks on the list perhaps Thursday night? There are now enough people to make a football team!

Dear John Adams family and friends, I first saw John as the host of Silicon Spin where he came off as a serious straight-laced tech journalist on Cranky Geek's Twit and the beloved Tech Grouch his personality that we love him for shined. I got to see John in person doing twit live at The Brick House in 2012 which was a dream come true for me as a tech journalist and is a memory I will always cherish

4:17:44 It was one of his Twitter appearances that led me to know Agenda sometime around 2010, and since 2016 I have not missed an episode with John & Adam becoming a mainstay in my car and headphones. The few times I felt they could add some expertise to a show topic, I emailed John, and to my surprise would actually get a response! The most recent one had to do with thoroughbred racing – an industry I've worked in for decades – His response simply said… well this was a bit much. I'll never know if he was talking about the horse or the length of my note. Trust me, length of your note! Hopefully this note didn't blow out your spreadsheet John will be greatly missed to his friends and family thank you for sharing such a great man with the world Alex from Bluegrass Sir Beboop & Son 9888 in honor to a great man No Jingles No Karma

The more the show meant to me he brought serious text street cred along with him And I loved hearing all of his stories Especially the ones that come out of the woodwork and surprise Adam as someone who works on the implementation side of Tech at least in my niche industry I really enjoy the analysis that John brought to the table with respect to tech history and how it relates to my day-to-day

4:23:01 I also really love listening to him compliment Adam on his many theses. Pretty sure he would challenge or validate my use of the word thesis as the plural of thesis if he were reading this, well maybe but i'm pretty sure thesis is a thing! I will miss hearing him saying it's no good and that's bullcrap I really hope you can continue to honor the 3x3, a memory of JCD. It's a great segment!

4:27:24 I am very shocked by the sudden news of John's passing. John and I had exchanged a few emails, and he gave me encouragement in starting up my own company and spreading my dream of owning my creations. I meant to send him a box full of books but being busy i never was able to get around it. I think that he would have really enjoyed the books and gotten a kick out them even though I never met him person I felt like knew him so well from just the show He was one of my heroes and I'll miss him in his kind grouchiness. God bless him, Mimi and the family, heart goes out to Adam as well with the loss of his dear friend. Thank you and god bless. Todd Drenth In The Morning!

Eric from Seminole County, Pulse Shooting Media Deconstruction

Eric from Seminole County, a former New York City resident, explains how the show's media deconstruction confirmed his suspicions about national media manipulation during the 2015 Pulse shooting in Orlando. He reflects on following Dvorak's work since his days as an engineering student in 1991.

As a firm gen Xer, I spent a lot of my youth on MTV and grew up with Adam Curry as i was an engineer by education ended in college during the dawn of the internet 1991 I was building my own PCs and starting to start started reading PC Magazine always enjoyed John C. DeBarrack's two columns went out of my way to read them

4:29:39 I found No Agenda several years ago after Adam's appearance was on Joe Rogan, and I found it was John he was partnered with. I had to tune in. The media deconstruction you do bi-weekly helped confirm what I already suspected since the Pulse shooting in Orlando 2015. I just moved the area from being a lifelong resident of New York City metro and was amazed at what national news media were pushing which is contrary to local media saying who are interviewing people who survived the shooting It was very clear the national media was manipulating the story. Growing up in the number one media market, you were at the epicenter of the narrative even on local news I have been listening since the 1600's episodes and your regular podcast when i travel to my clients as an insurance agent. I'm sitting in Newark airport on a delayed flight back home to Florida after visiting family in New York City and heard the news. I felt I had to get finally deduced and donate in honor of John for decades of his work in the tech industry writing and The No Agenda Show

4:39:03 Even though I never met John, I came to feel like I knew him. He became an important part of my life and a mentor who taught me to question the narrative think critically and always look for the scam That stayed with me as I built a career in technology. John taught me not to confuse enthusiasm with evidence, authority with truth or polished story with reality A few months ago i was in northern Silicon Valley during a meetup could not make it! I thought of john as I drove past the mudflats Yup still there...I wish I had made it With much love to John his family and friends you and all Gitmo Nation thank for everything you and John created In The Morning John Michael Weidinger No note Circuit board.

From then on I consumed as much JCD analysis as I could find articles in PC Magazine as a host of Cranky Geeks appearing as a guest on Twit and ultimately his most impactful contribution as co-host to The No Agenda Show John, as a No Agenda producer you were an essential part of my life for six hours a week for over 15 years. I always appreciated your perspective on this crazy world we live in and you've given me what seems like hundreds of belly laughs with your quick-witted sense of humor. I will miss you and the impact you had on the world. You along with Adam have given me a healthy view of our world and taught me to not take things too seriously

Tributes continue to pour in from listeners who have followed Dvorak since his 1980s television appearances.
