Port Angeles Wildfires, Washington State Tomato Quality, Goose Migration
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program discussing the safety of Port Angeles, Washington, amid reports of regional wildfires. Dvorak describes the local honor-system farming culture and notes that while Washington tomatoes are usually poor quality, recent extreme heat has improved them. They observe an unusually early southward migration of geese across northern states including Michigan and Oregon.

00:00 Oh, that's very funny. Someone who's not a scientist telling a scientist what to do. Adam Curry. John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, August 20th, 2015. Time once again for your Get More Nation media assassination episode 749. This is no agenda. Your official infidelity podcast is on the air everywhere and broadcasting live from FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone star state. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, whatever he said, I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Okay. Taking the easy way out. The easy way out. The very easy way out.
00:42 Hey man, first things first, is Mimi okay up there in Port Angeles? And she wouldn't be for some reason, why? Well, you know, I don't have any infrastructure up there and all I read is there's fires everywhere. Hey, it's, it's, there's a snowing in Reno, are you okay? Seriously, it is over. There's nothing going on except one thing. She talks to think she's talked about there's no fires anywhere near No, the place you go up and smoke any minute. Okay? Just just checking A couple of things to note. One, we shop, we grew up, when I'm out there, she goes there all the time, I don't go there as much as she does. There's a bunch of, if you leave town, you get into the farming areas, there's people that sell honey for like, you know, a big giant jar of it for 10 bucks.
01:35 It's mostly honor systems things where they have the stuff laying out, you put money in it. Oh really? How un-American. It's all over the place. There's an egg guy out there. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is an unmanned and autonomous farmer's market? Well, they're individual. It's like a guy's place and you drive up to driveway and there'll be a for example the farm guy or the abstract the farm guy the egg guy Farmer well he's an a he's a chicken guy guy the egg He's a big bin out there And you open it up, and there's a bunch of eggs and yeah And then he asked for different kinds of monies for each other thing you put in a slot. That's really nice That's kind of old-school
02:20 Very old school. You can find this in rural America, probably all over the place. But there's a guy around the corner from this egg guy who's usually there, guy's like he's 90 or something, he sits around and it's like a family. In a rocking chair. It's like a family, pretty much. It's like a family farm and they grow, that they sell hay and oil, alfalfa mostly, but they grow vegetables on the side and they sell them in this little shack. So, now they've got the...apparently, the guy himself, at this ripe old age, says he's never had anything like these tomatoes. Now, you can't grow tomato...I don't even know why they bother. You can't grow tomatoes in Washington State. They're always...compared to a good tomato, they're mushy, they don't have any acid, they're poorly balanced, and they have no tomato flavor. But these apparently are world-class because of the crazy heat that's been going on. And now, what's more...
03:16 And this guy says himself he's never had tomatoes like this. And what's even more bad thing, even though we're still in the middle of a heat wave, it's like 85 and it's very hot up there, which is causing fires, the geese have decided to head out. So the geese are flying in huge flocks to get out of the state as fast as they can. Are they burning up flying through the fires? Wee! Gross goose, kids! I tweeted this out and people from all over the northern states, including Michigan being the last one, have responded with... Sorry, that's the geese. With tweeting that, yeah, in Michigan, their geese are all taken off, headed south, headed down to South America.
04:05 So, the answer is... So, I asked, is she okay with the fires? The answer is the geese are flying. Yes. Okay. Gotcha. All right. Well, I'm glad I asked. Yeah, I'm sure you're very happy. You want to ask another question? Go on. No, no more questions. No, I think I'll just refrain from that if you don't mind. I just think it's weird that the geese are headed out. Now, somebody also said even Oregon, they're all... Come on. I'm not sure this is important. Yeah, yeah it is. Well I'm a little... I had this whole thing set up and I see that you have two clips. Oh. Women of America, you are under attack. You are under attack and it is something very dangerous is happening. I know you saw the same thing John.
