00:00 You like the redhead? Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Thursday July 11th 2013 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 529er! This is no agenda Not sponsored by Soros here at the Travis Heights hideout in Austin Texas capital of the drone star state In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where it's a little earlier than usual i'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill Right on no big big problems, but we're early and everything falls apart the whole infrastructure the entire network is Not in charge of all that so I think to the show No, yeah, I think we're uh So I don't believe were streaming live But now I would say the majority people hear this show on the podcast anyway, so yeah
00:57 So what are we doing? Why are we early. We're an hour earlier than normal, what's going on? I got a miss my daughter's birthday. Oh that's right How old is she wait a minute let me guess fine she 19 or 20 ah you hit it She's 19 or 20 Wow Huh? How fast it goes, John. Yeah... Yep! Now what?! I don't know. Don't worry for me it hasn't ended and my kid's gonna be 23 at the end of August and you know doesn't end
01:36 Are you charging these kids rent yet? She's getting pretty old. Who, Christina? Thanks So uh... Yeah Oh I don't charge the kids rent We should What do you think is an ogre? Paying rent or your getting out! Yeah that what my parents did and it took me three weeks Look at your parent. Well, I mean your dad just sitting by himself He'd probably like to have you having a around the house a little bit. I'm not so sure but he's not doing too well actually Yes, that's been the case since we started the show It's true. Yeah, no that's true but now he is really not doing so well. Why don't you go say hi to him? I'm gonna go say hi to him we're leaving... Yeah i'm coming back! I'm going to come and party with you guys You are NOT coming to party with us whatsoever Oh yeah! I am heading out! I kept getting tickets now Let me tell you what our schedule is everyone kind of knows
02:30 I think you should. So you can target me appropriately? Right, we should also mention yeah We've got a couple issues with a couple missing shows Will Well not really missing shows because they're going to fill them up with some outstanding content There's no doubt about it But we decided to take two shows off this year During the summer and wait a minute stop for second. I want to point out everybody Oh No! I want to point out to everybody That we've been doing the show for close to six years or six year anniversaries in October coming up and we've never taken one show off We did a clip show for Christmas a couple of years ago, and when I got married everyone gave me a show-off
03:11 Remember that yeah, what when would make it was just almost a year ago and Mickey night got married is that we did 200.5 or three I think that's when we did 300 I don't know I don't remember but And I don't know how many episodes yeah, but we actually get a show no No We still have a show yeah of course and will stay well It's not like we're gonna go dark right didn't we decide Didn't we decide to put the I'm gonna go? Dark So Friday after, so we have Thursday we have the show next week then Friday Miss Mickey and I haul off to Amsterdam. Then on Sunday, I do the show from Amsterdam using the new ultimate podcast device which is this would be a good field test Yeah So I'm all I've been on it for the past two shows and I'm still kind of working on all the fine-tuning Not the same as a feel not the same as a field test exactly then Tubes are in this thing zero. Okay? It's no But we are replicating tube design that's for sure with
04:12 With dual rail power. It has an AC power adapter. Will it do 220? Yeah, of course it'll do 220 with a separate adapter you can't... This is why all these companies do DC adapters because they're cheap but I've learned a lot You wind up doing a lot of balancing and biasing internally if you use DC power instead of having your own power on board so we've got dual rail. The whole thing is high-end. It's just going to be great once it's done which will be maybe Maybe sometime near Christmas. Who knows? What do you think it would sell for oh, it's gonna have to be $400 I can't do it for any less 399 99 no No, I think it's gonna be if in fact, I would even say it'd have to be 499 99 But you can do that You can replicate the best podcast in the universe with this thing. I mean it set up to do it and
05:02 Okay, it's a mixer. It's all your process if you had to buy all the elements individually it would be $1,000 All right well sounds like a deal any light weight and small yes? Oh yeah, well wait until you see this module. It's it's it's like a cigarette pack That's how small it is So on Monday tiny knobs Very tiny knobs but for you will make really giant knobs We'll make a special John system on Monday we go to the south of France to my dear friend Michelle the gangster Um, he uh... He's got a house down there in between. This is the elite of the elite Does he listen to the show? Oh! He's a huge fan of the show. He always- He's all over The Reptiles I haven't seen his donor nomenclature Michelle? Uh....I think he donates in other ways if you're looking for Latour
05:54 I've been looking for Latour. Yeah, but if you happen to be in the south of France and you're looking for Latour... That's where I'm going! Right exactly and from there we're gonna drive to Florence to visit Willow. Florence? Are you gonna do a meetup?! Yeah well sure! Come on, do a meet up! A tweet-ups meet up! I'll do a huge meet up in Florence. I'm sure there are tons of Noah Jenna listeners in Italy. Right. I think there is two. Willow and Willow And then after, let me see... I think four or three days in Florence we're gonna oh and of course Mickey's gonna miss Mickey is going to visit our brain professors friend at the university there you know to look at more brains or whatever. You know how that goes? I have Nixon's brain! I have had it on ice for a long time
06:46 And then we fly back to Amsterdam, we're there for five or six days. Now you do a meet up there? We could, I'm gonna visit my daughter of course and then we fly back so actually when were back in Amsterdam than I'd do another show So the only shows that were not doing on July 25th and July 28th and then there'll be two shows from Amsterdam both field tests with the new box The 28th may be the Indianapolis NASCAR event Oh really? I might just go down to that To see if anyone can, we have a contact within the organization not within the organization but it's in the publicity world surrounding NASCAR to use it. They get a no agenda sticker on one of these. Yeah how cool is that? I love it! Let me ask you a question John this hit me this morning as uh... as the news report started coming out why is it and I'm certainly not going to accept any longer why is it people except
