00:00 Come on, we've seen this. The most sophisticated terrorist group we've ever seen! Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak It's Sunday September 7th 2014 time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 650 This is no agenda With the final broadcast from the Wi-Fi enabled canal house in The Pipe in the heart of Amsterdam In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where there is no wifi I am John C. Dvorak I'll give you a 5 for creative execution on that. That sucked. Yeah, there is no Wi-Fi What does that even mean? It doesn't mean anything it was just dumb. Okay Thank you. Just want to make sure we're all straight on that
00:51 Okay, it's my last show from a joke of it. I do have one that so it's not very funny joke That was no is a bomb It was a complete total disaster we were listening to episode six four niner We miss Mickey and I she could not listen to it live And I think today we finally fixed it so she can she's in the bedroom, and she can listen to the show live with a little stream delay Which he misses it you know yeah? She does because that she gives her the opportunity come into the studio and punch you in the arm every so well exactly With a delayed reaction whatever. I say you know what's coming. Yeah, you're like three minutes ago Exactly why so we were listening to these
01:34 And I apologize, but I don't think that I noticed it about the birthday party. We had like a 30 minute thing about my 50th birthday party and how nice it was...and Mickey said that, he says, oh listen to John! He's playing Happy Birthday on the harmonica which I presume you had studied? Yes. Aww, yeah I see you did right? Sometimes you paid zero attention Yeah but it's...I'm a little trained to ignore the noise known as the harmonica so that i could continue with the program but I thought that was so sweet That I wanted to give you some inspiration for some other things I think you should play with the harmonica and it would come in handy during the show
02:19 I have a pen. Well, you don't need a pen just listen this is uh here's one i'd like you to be able to play Do you know it yet? I don't know how they get those piano tones out of the harp. If you can do that before... I don't know how they do it. Maybe its special. This is Toots Tielemans by the way Dutch one of the famous harp players Listen this for the theme from Midnight Cowboy It's such a classic John You could do that
02:55 It's all down. Don't you think that would be good? You could play that for me? Well, yeah I could do it. I can do an underplay while your... one of your sorry tales. Yes exactly or i have another one this is a little more contemporary but still from our youth now if you could do this Yeah, you think you could do this one down? Down down down down down You can't do that. I can do that the super tramp take the long way home
03:34 Yeah, you could just do that bit Hit me fat me That would be perfect if you could do that yeah it's all right in your time frame Good stuff. Just thought I'd give you a little inspiration my friend. Yeah No, I was hoping to give you some more harmonic cats There will be none of that no Yeah, the harmonic cats. That's what I'm going for well John. Let's let's get into some news here This is of course is my last my last show live here from Amsterdam will be returning back to home base Yes on Tuesday our last report directly from the feats on the ground in the eurozone Correct and there's a lot to discuss But the thing that is I'm feeling a little unsure about although you warned us months in advance Is this Ebola thing?
