About this episode

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak return for a special Christmas broadcast featuring a deep dive into NASA's Orion space vehicle and the technical hurdles of the Van Allen radiation belts. The hosts question the agency's recent claims regarding radiation shielding while highlighting the suspicious loss of original Apollo telemetry tapes. This holiday edition also examines the Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas and the escalating controversy surrounding the Black Pete character in the Lowlands.

International stories include French trucker protests led by the red-bonneted activists of Brittany and a DNA barcoding study from Canada that exposed widespread fraud in the herbal supplement industry. The report found that one-third of supplements contained fillers like soybean instead of the advertised plants. In the United States, Bill O'Reilly faces the fallout of a New York custody battle, while Hillary Clinton addresses rumors of political fatigue and her transition out of the State Department. Additional segments cover the development of molten salt nuclear reactors by Transatomic Power and the catastrophic risk of failure at the Mosul Dam in Iraq.

Sir Ramsey Cain produces a series of distinctive clips ranging from Al Sharpton mispronouncing basic vocabulary to a satirical High School USA segment on Shabbat. The hosts share personal anecdotes about 1960s telephone party lines and a bizarre encounter with guitarist Skunk Baxter. The broadcast concludes with a look at the severed feet washing ashore in the Pacific Northwest and a reminder of the upcoming No Agenda meetup in Beverly Hills.

CHAPTER 02 / 58 Discussion

Analog Telephone Party Lines and Eavesdropping Anecdotes

A discussion of mid-century analog telephone technology focuses on the history of "party lines" shared by multiple households. One host recounts a childhood anecdote about unscrewing a phone's carbon microphone to listen in on neighbors' private conversations without being detected. The story concludes with a memory of being caught and scolded by a neighbor who could hear the line being manipulated.

party lines· analog phones· carbon microphone· multiplexing· eavesdropping

02:14 We'll get this started and then we'll come back halfway and chat for a bit And then we'll end it up anything else. We need to need to do besides wishing everybody A very Merry Christmas, I'm thanking thanking them for letting us slide on this one day a year No, I think all right. We're good to go okay here It is we're going into part 1 of our special Christmas extravaganza brought to you by Sir Ramsey Kane and the no agenda show Remember how it was when you'd be on the phone with somebody and then the wall the lines would get crossed back in the analog days? Oh Hey, who's this how did you get on I don't know what well when I was a kid we still had party lines Yeah of course And most people don't even know what a party line is. You think you need to explain at one point I guess even before my time I guess party lines could consist of maybe five or six houses and

03:16 The party line was, the way they had the circuit set up. They had to go through two or three houses. Right I remember this And so it was the same line but somehow...I don't know how they multiplexed out of it It would have one ring for house 1 and 2 rings for house 2? No that was all somehow done some private channeling or something So your number would only ring when your number was called Yeah It wasn't like you rang all numbers Because then you'd have everyone listening in on everything. Right? You would run into a situation where you pick up the phone and the party line was yacking away, so you had to hang it off. I remember this! Do you remember what a busy signal sounds like?

04:02 I remember what a bit sure do. So the party lines, so you'd have this when I was a kid we had one other line that was the pride and I don't know where these people were and I don't think anyone ever exchanged this information Where are you? I'm over here in it It was just like they were annoying but he never talked to us And you couldn't sex people up back in the day on the party line You could, if you don't mind people listening in. So I did being a sneaky little kid...I was just a little kid....I figured that if you unscrew the carbon mic which was at the base of the phone, you could unscrew the top and then take the microphone out, you can usually lift up the thing and listen in. And no one would know you'd lifted it up?

04:49 Well, you know that's up to...that remains to be seen because there was this girl and her boyfriend they were always yakking and talking about lovey-dovey stuff. And so I'd listen into this if I caught it. First, you want to make a call and you lift the phone then you hear them as they hang up. It made it clear that you hung up when you're making calls you hear these people hanging up all the time But if you took the little thing off, you might be able to minimize this problem if you were careful. Apparently there's a girl who could always hear it when I was doing this and she would say...I remember her saying, hang up the phone ya little bastard! Yeah that's it exactly nice

CHAPTER 03 / 58 Discussion

German Satellite Television and Adult Programming Observations

Observations regarding German satellite television content reveal a high volume of late-night adult-oriented "webcam-style" channels. Using a Slingbox to browse European stations, a host describes encountering numerous live call-in shows featuring scantily clad women and occasionally older performers. The discussion notes that these low-budget programs typically fill airtime when lottery-sponsored content is not broadcasting.

germany· slingbox· satellite dish· adult television· late-night programming

05:33 So I got all my clips today by the way, I want to mention. Somebody has a German, I think it's in Berlin satellite dish C-band. Oh? Slingbox! Ah So I was watching what I could. Now there's a bunch of crazy, we should maybe introduce some people to the idea of what's on German television in general not to mention what's on the satellite dishes but let me give you, maybe you can explain it too. I have a little piece of German programming which I have as an Ask Adam item and why don't you first guess what this might be?

06:29 Okay, now you know that I it is possible that I will be able to understand the German. Oh yeah No, I'm sure you can't understand this German essentially a number with the guy the food sick victim in an ash look Is there something like that? Yeah well why don't you play it I'm so happy GX2 is making a living in Germany. That's fantastic for him

07:14 Yes, I know what this is. Yeah why don't you explain it because when Americans first go to Germany and they flip on the TV they run into these channels and on the satellite dish I swear to God there must be 50 of them! It goes all over Europe but i think its just Germany we have it in the Netherlands No it's all over but Germany really has a lot of it Right so after hours when...it's not cost-effective to put any expensive lottery sponsored programming Then you basically have a bunch of girls who will be, and it typically is live. They're sitting in a room with a bunch of pillows and they're scantily clad And they'll be on the phone and essentially they are talking to people who are calling that number that 999-swide-swide-swide whatever she said number

08:02 And then of course you can go private with her. It's kind of like a webcam sex thing, only little different. is occasionally, unfortunately there's no real guide to this edition. It has like 2000 channels so I'm punching you know...I've been spending hours going down channel now. Wait a minute! This is what you spent New Year's Day doing isn't it? I spent a lot of time on this thing. I only found two worthwhile channels Sky News which actually quite much better than BBC. Who's Slingbox did you get? No one sent me this log into the German Slingbox

08:46 I found a sling box sharing website. Oh, homework! There's a huge underground of this and because nobody got me at New York Sling Boxes... So what is your question? No it's not a question i'm saying i'm going through these and then there's the occasional channel where I swear to God it's a 50-60 year old woman. Have you seen this? I don't know what you're going to say but i like it already. A 56 year old horrible looking woman naked with rolls of fat, seriously and she is offering her you know to bad boys or something at some crazy thing couldn't quite pick up which was angling for but there was a number of these sites and it was literally

09:38 You know, it was not pleasant. Let's put it that way as you go to whoa and you get hit the channel button as fast As you can trying to get this satellite thing to change channels sure John welcome to Europe Yeah sure Oh quick change it change. Oh honey I can't get it to change it won't switch at all What's happening Oh, okay. Well another screwy thing I got the clip lethal injection story oh yes this was a someone sent this to me from the Netherlands it was in the newspaper there so Andrew Novak we know there are 32 states where the death penalty is legal we know that... I'm sorry you say something?

CHAPTER 04 / 58 Discussion

Lethal Injection Backups and Interview Etiquette

A report on capital punishment in the United States notes that 32 states currently maintain the death penalty, with Utah and Oklahoma utilizing firing squads as backup methods. The segment transitions into a critique of interview etiquette, specifically targeting the use of the word "sure" as a condescending response by experts toward journalists. The hosts argue this linguistic habit serves as a subtle insult to the interviewer's knowledge.

death penalty· lethal injection· firing squad· utah· oklahoma· journalism

10:17 Yeah, 32 not 33. So yeah, it's real. It's real! Andrew Novak we know there are 32 states where the death penalty is legal We know that Utah would become the only state along with Oklahoma where the backup method would be a firing squad Two other states New Hampshire Washington State have hanging as a backup and then there are five More states that use the electric chair as the backup in addition to Oklahoma where I guess it's either or why is there so much concern about these lethal injections? Sure You don't answer a question like that with the word sure That's a very Silicon Valley thing to do by the way Oh, you that what you track it too because I every time I see and this guy was the worst and his answer To the long question was sure Yeah

11:05 I've been hearing this, and I bitch about this every time it comes along. But this one is so outrageous! It wasn't like the sure blah blah blah blah... It was SURE! And there was a long pause and then next word was UM! I wasn't going to go any further with it. Sure! Yeah, the way it works, it's usually when it's based on a question that the person is supposed to have complete knowledge of and the person knows that the interviewer doesn't know shit And then it's just, sure so let me tell you about how our networking fits together. It's kind of like I'm such an authority...I'm just gonna say sure i'll tell you that little unknowledgeable press person you. You think is an insult?

11:50 Yes, it's a subtle down talking insult. I want to tell everyone out there who does any of this if you're in the news business at all and somebody says sure to you stop them in their track and say hey man, I'm interviewing you not to be insulting Why are you insulting me with this? Sure nonsense sure right but okay That would be if it was true news and not PR because is all PR change for the... What is the point? They're just trying to gouge the public with some new tax. You know, I bet you in some of these areas they charge it for the air you breathe. You can make an argument for that! You have to go in once a year like you do with your car to get it smogged. You have to go on once a year and they put kind of a mask on you and you breathe in and out of the mask five minutes and then calculate how much air which is a valuable resource how much air you're breathing and then they can send you a bill

CHAPTER 05 / 58 Discussion

Survivalist Culture and Storable Food Marketing

The rise of survivalist culture in media is linked to the emergence of new sponsors for right-wing talk radio, such as companies selling storable food and gold. Reference is made to "The Survivors Club," a book exploring human survival science popularized by media figures like Glenn Beck. A cynical suggestion is made regarding the use of mailing lists to locate neighbors with food stockpiles in the event of a societal collapse.

survivalism· glenn beck· storable food· gold sellers· mailing lists

12:46 I don't see why not. It sounds like just same idea, but they will send you a bill for carbon pollution. Well, they can do that too and that'll happen. I think that'll happen most of the people around this area that Berkeley Bay Area Most of the people would buy into that because carbon pollution coming from humans is bad. It's too bad We have so many humans we should all die But he also I could find out for sure He's also uh, I think he set this thing up called The Survivors Club which is a house for people who survived like horrible style those food things isn't no I think it's like addictions and stuff like that its mmm see you survive crime survive molestation survive some way any of those things could be a possibly now here is I think it's a book January 2009 his first nonfiction book the survivors club the secrets and science that science hmm because save your life

13:47 was published by Grand Central Publishing. This is for survivors, survivalists! Yeah the Survivor Club Explores Human Survival in All Its Forms was a New York Times bestseller. Yeah this is a survivalist book this is nuts yeah I think Glenn Beck talks about this book a lot actually Well, you know one of the reasons all the right-wing talkers are now talking about survivalism is because they... the new sponsors that have come down the road. You know and the old..you know like it's always been a well known fact that the only reason that talk radio is exist the way it was because of the gold sellers and well first of all thanks yeah by the HGH and all that now became golden as moved on to these food programs yeah you take a bunch of paranoid people when you put him on this food pro you buy this kit

14:38 and you'll have food for the next two years. Storable food, storable foods! And you can store the food forever and you won't have to worry when the bomb hits or whenever bad happens happens of course nothing ever comes out by the way my tip to people out there there are mailing lists available you can get them mailing list because maybe we want to sell like Mormons for example I have all keep one year's a food in their basements buy some edict And then there you have these guys. So you rent these two mailing lists and if all hell breaks loose, You just grab the mailing list and check off... you go find these people and shoot them and steal their food. Hey man! Give me some food! That would be the smart money Sick concept but it would work. Sinterklaas kapoentje leg wat in hun schoontje Leg wat in hun laarsjes want Adam en John zijn hele goede baasjes

CHAPTER 06 / 58 Discussion

Sinterklaas Traditions and Political Correctness in the Lowlands

The Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas is detailed, noting the arrival of Saint Nicholas on a steamship from Spain accompanied by "Black Petes." The hosts discuss the increasing political incorrectness of the Black Pete character and the traditional practice of children leaving boots out for gifts on December 5th. The holiday is described as a major celebration in the Lowlands that often involves adult drinking parties.

sinterklaas· netherlands· black pete· spain· saint nicholas· traditions

15:35 So today is December 4th, traditionally in Gitmo Nation lowlands. The day when all children put their boots outside for the good Saint Nicholas to drop presents... steal! Steal their boots off the ground. No, the Good Saint Nicholas now this is actually kind of interesting because I think he's today the fourth or the fifth no it's the fourth right so the fifth day is actually the fifth yesterday was the four is today the fifth well then I screwed all up didn't I? It's today the 5th. How did you screw it up? Nobody...I said December 4th, its December 5th Oh you mean at the opening of the show yes

16:20 Oh, how about that? Yeah! Gee what a surprise. So December 5th is traditionally the day when the kids put their boots on the ground outside and then the good Saint Nick who rides a white horse and he arrives on a steamship from Spain with his black Pete's which now has become incredibly politically incorrect He no longer has black Pete's I think they've written them out of the script But they used to be just black Pete's and these people. What is a black Pete? Well, he is a black dude that you got like the head Pete his name is Pete so they're called Pete's Black Pete's And he got the head Pete and he... He's in charge of all the other Pete's and they run around and they terrorize the children So if you've been bad then they hit you with sticks and shove you in a burlap bag

17:12 Take you back terrible story But it's but it's a big party, it's a big Sorry yeah with all the kids out of the way that parents go drinking. Yeah It's a big drinking party for parents now you got it So, but that's their version of Santa Claus because they don't really have a Santa Claus. We have the Sinterklaas who comes on the steamship from Spain with his black beasts. Why is he coming from Spain? Because Spain used to rule all over the world! It's a throwback. It's crazy. It's totally crazy believe me and now we basically have Christmas in the lowlands They probably got Santa Clauses walking around too

CHAPTER 07 / 58 Discussion

Global Christmas Variations and Family Gift Surprises

The contrast of Christmas celebrations in different climates is explored, specifically the sight of Santa Claus and reindeer in the 100-degree heat of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The hosts also discuss neighborhood "light wars" and the Dutch tradition of "surprises," where family members draw names and create elaborate, often messy, gift packages accompanied by personalized poems.

brazil· rio de janeiro· christmas lights· secret santa· poems

17:50 And then the funniest thing when you're discussing that sort of thing is if you go down to Rio in December and your floating around Brazil, which is the middle. This is like the hottest time of year it's boiling its like 100 degrees and there are all these Santa Claus with a reindeer and trees. That is kind of like Los Angeles weird that way too We're in one of those streets where we have two neighbors at war with all house wars with the light stuff. Oh, yeah Yeah, oh yeah That's great It's we saw it happen we saw because of course there's our first Christmas here And we saw one side like wow this guy's got some lights going and then on the other side and now I said to Mickey yes He said I think our house is perfect for um I think we can do a sleigh

18:43 and uh, and it went reindeer on the roof. And uh... Oh, Mickey says I'm totally fucking up the synth story Well what am i doing wrong? She just texted me. She's listening? Yeah of course she's listening! She's in the car she's on her way to a meeting A meeting?! Sunday for god sake. Yeah she works hard man But alright, so I guess I took all the romance out of the story. Well you could add... we can tell a story next week when we get closer to Christmas or I guess it would be farther away from December 2nd which is I guess when..or 3rd or 5th? No no, the fifth and then uh.... I don't know man! I'm from America We always thought it was...and by the way this Sinterklaas he's also wears like a red robe

19:30 He's got a robe. Oh yeah, pedo. Hey kids! He's got a pointy hat and he's got a big stick...a big staff I've gotta stick for ya! Big staff for you kids but he's very thin he's not fat like Santa Claus is very skinny guy that's more like it if he has way yes pant legs taped to just the bottom of some short pants taped to his legs But it's a it's cute. So actually and so what the family tradition is, and this is kind of nice is you You all draw so the big family comes together usually not just Household family And then you'll draw lots before like a couple weeks before you'll draw name out of the hat and then you get the name on A piece paper and then you have to go buy something for that person and turn it into a surprise

20:24 with a poem which is about that person. But you don't ever really say, oh this is from me so you basically... Yeah this what they do, this has been transposed into an American tradition of doing that in the office where they don't want everybody buying everybody else gifts and you just grab bags. And somebody invariably gets a box of candies that they don't want Well well the funny thing is there's always some joker who puts together a huge box Right? And then you get this huge box as a present and then you have to go through like wood chips and molasses. Well, box after box. Molasses! And all kinds of weird crap in there it's hilarious. And then at the bottom is like a gift certificate.

Herbal Supplement Fraud and DNA Barcoding Study

Researchers in Canada conducted a study using DNA barcoding to test 44 different herbal supplements, discovering widespread industry fraud. The tests revealed that one-third of the products contained no trace of the advertised plant, instead using fillers like soybean and rice. Many supplements were found to be entirely replaced by cheaper alternatives not listed on the labels.

21:12 But I'm sure all the listeners in Gitmo Nation lowlands are very disappointed with my explanation. However, in the true spirit of... It's another no agenda! Clip Blitz! 33! Clip Blitz! Alright time for the clip blitz as we wind up this show John what do you have for us? There are a couple of cool things. If you want to start off with the... Well, I'm going to finish with.. I know it's Sunday so today means High School USA but wait! I'll save that for the end. Let's start with the herbal fraud going on in Canada, herbal fraud in Canada. Here we go! What is happening? Some herbal supplements may not be what they seem. Researchers in Canada use DNA barcoding to test 44 different supplements

22:03 They found some were often diluted or replaced entirely with fillers like soybean and rice. One third showed no trace of the plant advertised on the bottle, only another plant in its place." That's good to know! Yeah perfect So there's a breastfeeding controversy going on and it is kind of universal. We have two stories, one of breastfeeding in the UK followed by America and tell me if you can spot the difference between breastfeeding in the UK for starters and then America playing back to back? There is an interesting government program underway for new mothers in Great Britain. In an effort to boost the practice of breastfeeding among low-income women, moms are now being offered money to breastfeed their newborns. Each mom can now collect $200 for the first six weeks of breastfeeding more if they continue to breastfeed for up to six months The goal is to destigmatize the practice in poorer areas

CHAPTER 09 / 58 Discussion

Breastfeeding Policy Differences and Salt-Apnea Research

A comparison of breastfeeding policies highlights a UK government program offering low-income mothers $200 to breastfeed, contrasted with a Pennsylvania legal case where a judge ordered a mother to stop breastfeeding to accommodate a custody schedule. Additionally, Brazilian researchers are investigating a link between high salt intake and sleep apnea, suggesting that fluid shifts to the neck may contribute to the condition.

united kingdom· pennsylvania· breastfeeding· sleep apnea· salt intake· brazil

23:00 Researchers say the United Kingdom has one of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world. It's another no agenda! Breastfeeders! One mother is caught between a rock and hard place, A Pennsylvania judge recently told her that she had to stop breastfeeding her 10-month old daughter so the little girl could stay with her father for two days a week. It's part of a custody agreement but the mom says there is nothing agreeable about it He did say something along the lines like, well she should be on formula or why isn't she on formula? She should be able to have formula at 10 months old. I'm feeling frustrated and hurt. I'm trying to keep myself from crying it's very emotional All right what is this is there a new dark breast milk market in happening? It just seems that UK...I mean when is the government telling women what to do or not to do

23:54 Essentially that's what we're listening to here. Okay, here we go. Snoring in Brazil this is good news for you snorers. Avoiding salt could be the way to cure snoring at least that's what Brazilian researchers want to prove they started a study last month hoping to uncover a connection between salt and sleep apnea researchers believe excessive salt intake builds up fluid in the body, and then the fluid shifts to a person's neck when they're lying down. Some patients will take a diuretic pill and others will switch to a low-salt diet to see what works to treat sleep apnea." Well there you go! The war on salt is on!

French Trucker Protests Against Eco-Tax

Thousands of freight trucks in France participated in "go-slow" protests, blocking major highways to oppose a planned government eco-tax on heavy goods vehicles. Protesters in the Brittany region, identified by their signature red bonnets, led the movement which has since spread across the country. The hosts compare the effectiveness of French labor actions to the perceived decline of union power in the United States.

france· brittany· eco-tax· trucker protest· red bonnets· highways

24:30 Again. Yeah, we're back! Meanwhile in France the truckers have decided to protest and this is actually better on film than this report but you have to see these guys 10 thousand trucks will take to the highway you know, and clog all the lanes and then stop. They've already started. Yeah this is news here this is big news. Next another weekend another huge protest here in France thousands of freight trucks blocked major highways in a massive go slow This is part of ongoing protests over the French government's planned eco tax which would slap levies on heavy goods vehicles

25:10 Protesters in Brittany, North West France have become known for their red bonnets. Well they've been taking action and those protests have been spreading across the country. Excellent yeah the French are smart man they know how to do it They don't take any crap from people We used to be able to do stuff, the Teamsters would get together and do something. Now they arrest everybody we throw people in jail we need more prisoners I have something for the cliplets this is Larry Flint he is publisher of Hustler Magazine quite a hero and uh... he has said that he is not interested in seeing the guy who shot him he wound up in a wheelchair because it was shot by some crazy guy He doesn't want see the guy put to death he says it does no good and he actually has little call back

CHAPTER 11 / 58 Discussion

Larry Flynt on Capital Punishment and Public Executions

Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt expresses his opposition to the death penalty for the man who shot and paralyzed him, arguing that the legal system should focus on justice rather than vengeance. Flynt cites 18th-century England as evidence that capital punishment is not a deterrent. The hosts satirically suggest that public executions should be revived as high-rated reality television programming.

larry flynt· hustler magazine· death penalty· justice· vengeance· public hanging

25:54 to something that I have said for many, many years. That there is a reality show in some of these punishments just waiting to happen and the Gitmo Nation East people in the UK knew what it was about in the 18th century! Is there part of you... Is there part of you for which it's difficult to separate that long-held political belief of yours from an understandable anger or desire for vengeance against the guy who put you in a wheelchair for life? No, because I'm very pragmatic. You know if you're a victim of someone who's committed a crime like murder or something...I can understand why you would want to see someone put to death but when you really take time to think about the fact that our system is supposed to be about justice not vengeance and when someone sets out to commit a crime like murder

26:49 They don't stop and think, well am I going to get life in prison or am I going to get the death penalty if i do this? That's not the way they think. It is not a deterrent it never has been and you know in England 18th century pickpocketing was a capital offense and they used to hang their pickpockets every Saturday on town squares while we were doing that people would be going through crowds picking pockets of people watching the pickpocket getting hanged so I think the British caught on very early Yes, this is a great idea. What happened to those days when we would hang people publicly? I am such a proponent of killing people on television. Yeah you want to make it into a reality TV show then and quit this gig. Yep! We could kill people on television have crowds You know the whole thing it's perfect. And do ratings, do ratings. How many points does that guy get if he shakes enough for the guy? It's another no agenda.

High School USA Satire and Shabbat Traditions

Clips from the animated series "High School USA" on Fox are played, featuring dark humor regarding a murderer wearing a George H.W. Bush mask. Another segment from the show depicts a character explaining the Jewish tradition of Shabbat, the day of rest where electricity is not used for 24 hours. The hosts highlight the show's provocative "O-M-Jew" catchphrase.

Al Sharpton Pronunciation Errors and Presidential GIF Proclamation

Reverend Al Sharpton is mocked for mispronouncing "giddy" as "jiddy" and "escalating" as "esculating" during a broadcast. This leads to a discussion about President Barack Obama's official proclamation during a Tumblr interview with David Karp that the word "GIF" should be pronounced with a hard "G," despite the creator's preference for "Jif."

al sharpton· barack obama· david karp· gif· tumblr· pronunciation

30:10 You got some Rev-Al clips? I got one Rev-Al, a recent one. Now there's two in here it's double whammy he wants to say is something is escalating and it's making the escalating. Yeah, well if you say escalate is good and with this escalation the Republicans or the GOP is giddy! Now giddy... what does that mean? It means you're just kind of like excited in a shaking way. You're shaking, you're excited, yeah. And so of course Reverend Al, the Rev

30:48 Who, by the way we looked at his ratings after the show? Yeah we did. No wonder the guy's still on the air! Yeah he's got better ratings than everybody except Rachel So this does it what does this tell you people He's his ratings constitute is I think it's 600,000 listeners or viewers which constitutes on television $600,000 in Income budget. Yeah and so he there so they budgeting so he probably making millions And six hundred thousand people watched him do this the GOP infighting is escalating political says Democrats are outright jitty happy to watch the GOP implode

31:32 So he saw Giddy, g-i-d-d-y on the screen and pronounced it Jiddy. And he said Esculates. Esculating so he probably will pronounce the word jiff correctly Oh do you have that clip too? Do we both have that clip no I don't have that clip I have the clip hit it hold on a second We just grabbed this clip did you see this No oh my God President Obama did this thing with the Tumblr crew, the student loan thing. And David Karp of Tumblr interviewed the president and then during the West Wing Week which is that little expanded podcast that they do with a guy with a voiceover it turns out the president has now officially proclaimed the pronunciation of Jif as GIF That is now by presidential proclamation

Liberty's Kids Cartoon and Admiral Howe Reference

A clip from the children's educational cartoon "Liberty's Kids" is highlighted for its use of the historical nickname "Black Dick" in reference to Admiral Richard Howe of the British Royal Navy. The hosts find humor in the repetitive use of the name within a juvenile program, noting that the nickname historically referred to Howe's dark temperament.

35:16 Very funny. You got me. I can continue with the clip of the day, oh i'm sorry did I say that? I didn't mean to say that because I don't call a clip of the day Wait a minute do you have something you think is a candidate Why, you have something? I got plenty but i'm holding back. I'll be like you know just give me this one and see if you can top it okay It's a childrens TV cartoon series called Liberty Kids

35:52 and the clip was shown on The Soup. It's very obscure, but it sits out there floating around I'd love to get the original series because i'm sure there are more gems like this. There is nothing seditious about an intelligent woman wanting to keep well informed That's for Black Dick to decide! Osen pass a towline Black dick? That's what the sailors call Admiral Howe. Give us black dick and we fear nothing! But why do they call him black? Perhaps he has a dark temperament... Yeah, you got it! There is nothing to fear when black dick is around! Thank you for a juvenile laugh

Blue Bloods Television Tropes and Video Enhancement

The television drama "Blue Bloods" is criticized for a scene depicting an impossible video enhancement where a character "expands the view" to see a shooter who was originally out of frame. The hosts mock the "CSI effect" in media and jokingly suggest applying such magical technology to analyze 9/11 Pentagon footage.

blue bloods· video enhancement· csi effect· 9/11· pentagon

36:43 It's always nice. All right, so a few things about Haiti? Well before you do that let's do something light I have a light clip want to get it out of here Oh Something you know how we talk about You know the cop shows and then they take the one pixel Lation of the license plate and push a button And then you can see it clearly zoom in rotate look at the reflection in the mirror ah it's our man There is a new one No, please don't tell me. Yes this is all new! This is a new video trick another new impossible video trick this is a beauty see if you can catch it this is from the TV show Blue Bloods okay hold on here we go actually the shooters out of frame there where were you again? I'm right over there have any other cameras by that angle? Can't see much of anything

37:41 Well, we're gonna need to take this for evidence. You know, Tarou can enhance the video and maybe expand the view. Yeah... What can you tell us about this guy King? He's out of frame but somehow we can magically expand the view! Isn't that a gem?! Oh, this is great Hey why don't we do that for the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon because you know Yes, expand the view Just expand the view We should be able to see it no problem That would be perfect Yeah, let's do this one haven't done this in a while Today very important day we have a launch taking off

NASA Orion Launch and Van Allen Radiation Belts

NASA's Orion space vehicle launch is discussed, with a focus on the challenges posed by the Van Allen radiation belts. A NASA promotional video explains that the vehicle must pass through these dangerous zones twice to test shielding before humans can be sent through. The hosts question why this is presented as a new challenge if the Apollo missions successfully navigated the belts 40 years ago.

nasa· orion· van allen belts· radiation· moon landing· atlas v

38:33 I believe it's on Atlas V. This will launch the Orion space vehicle into Ibda Space. NASA has a, you know they do great videos They're really good at showing you the animation of what's supposedly happening as you know I'm sometimes critical of facts that have been presented to us on television it just got me in a lot of trouble and When i was watching this nasa video how does it get you into any trouble? I've been banned from twit

39:23 NASA's Orion launch scrubbed rescheduled for Friday. Oh boy, well good then we get to talk about it more I'll just be tomorrow when they launched instead of today So NASA has this great video which explains a very excited guy who is explaining how it's gonna work and what they're gonna do and how It's all gonna fit together And as I'm watching this I'm saying wait a minute now you know the in fact that when I was banned from said program it was due to my questioning of the travel through the Van Allen belts, which are radiation belts in order to get to the moon. Right there's a number of people that have this argument and this is in fact one of the main reasons for this Orion... let me just play this and we will discuss after We are headed 3600 miles above Earth 15 times higher from the planet than the International Space Station

40:25 As we get further away from Earth, we'll pass through the Van Allen belts. An area of dangerous radiation. Radiation like this can harm the guidance systems on board computers or other electronics on Orion Naturally, we have to pass through this danger zone twice Once up and once back But Orion has protection. Shielding will be put to the test as the vehicle cuts through the waves of radiation. Sensors aboard will record radiation levels for scientists to study We must solve these challenges before we send people through this region of space. For this flight, it's time to head home. This kind of makes my point for me! This is a big 3600 miles

41:13 The distance to the moon, I might point out is 238 900 miles which we did over 40 years ago through the Van Allen belts. Which we now have to somehow test because it's too dangerous for people explain Explain what? Explain how to explain what? Explain... The Van Allen belts are bad! There's some areas, according to the NASA folks that you can shoot through at a high speed and get past them because it's not one... That's not what he said. He said something very different. He said before we put people... Maybe he was going through the thick of it? Before we could... Okay It's just not as same size belt one size fits all is thick in some areas, thin in others Oh! You've been there?! I haven't been there. I looked at the pictures

42:07 Okay, look. I'm just going by what he's saying He's saying oh it's very dangerous We can't we have to test it before we say get the press conference would chime in and hold their hand up and ask the question Well, that's what I'd like to know see any press conference This was a video which is highly produced And this is they have press conferences about this. I'm sure I don't even know I think this whole thing is bogus I think there's a spy mission of some sort yes It makes a big deal out of 36 thousand miles. as the exploration flight test, the EFT one. Yeah I haven't looked into it so much i figured you this is more your valley yeah and there it is! I have questions...I get no answers No you don't? No I guess I don't deserve any answers Now you would say that see the problem is you're inconsistent

CHAPTER 18 / 58 Discussion

Moon Landing Skepticism and NASA Data Loss

A debate ensues regarding the validity of the Apollo moon landings, specifically focusing on NASA's admission that original telemetry tapes were lost or erased. One host expresses deep skepticism about the first landing while acknowledging the possibility of later flights. The discussion centers on the technical difficulty of passing through radiation belts and the perceived lack of transparency from the government.

moon landing· nasa· apollo· magnetic tape· conspiracy· radiation

43:06 You make the claim that nobody ever went to the moon, ever. Sometimes and then some days they didn't do the initial ones in a moment later of the nine flights I'm completely consistent and I have said I do not believe that moon landing That moon landing, the number one moon landing The one where they lost... This is only thing you see, there's got a lot going for ya They lost all the tapes, the originals were destroyed Yeah It was all these annoying little things John Yeah, well that one I agree with you. Losing the tapes... This is like one of the most historic events in the history of mankind and you lose it! You lose the tapes. Didn't they get bulk erased or something? It was even better than that. Stupid. Some bogus way of... I mean by the way... Yeah, that really sounds legitimate

43:55 So, okay you got that going for ya. But you also have claimed that they've gone up there at the other times because I think the argument would be well they didn't want to take a chance on the first one botching it up and killing everybody so they phonied it up so it was a big deal then they could do the other ones with less eyeballs on them but that doesn't make sense at all Because if you can't get through the Van Allen belts, you can't get through the Van Allen belts under any circumstances. I would have never gone to the moon ever! Then that's very possible that would trump me. That is not inconsistent. I'm just pointing out what is being said by NASA. Okay

44:32 that it's dangerous to push people through it. I've known other people that are very sincere about this and, and I think they...I can't prove them wrong and as such just say well that's the way you know I just all believe in government uh in this case but It's okay because But if it was all bullcrap they showed it yeah we're sorry we did that because you know I would say ah well there ya go I'd be out partying in the street. I would not, I would not be actually surprised but disappointed. They should just cop to it already So we know that Hillary Clinton has a Lucifer...I'm gonna have to change the name now

CHAPTER 19 / 58 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Secret Service Relations and Code Names

Allegations regarding Hillary Clinton's poor treatment of Secret Service personnel are discussed, including an anecdote about a physical altercation involving a highball glass. The hosts reveal that while her official code name was "Evergreen," military personnel in Afghanistan reportedly used the unofficial code name "Broomstick." Other political code names like "Renegade" for Obama and "Eagle" for Bill Clinton are also mentioned.

hillary clinton· secret service· code names· evergreen· broomstick· afghanistan

45:15 Lucifer does not get along well with the Secret Service at all. In fact, we've discussed on this show previously she can never be president because then the Secret Service will blow the lid on her. Well, they'll blow it off or whatever it is to have a lid to blow but during the Clinton administration I have some friends in Washington that told me They of course they were claiming that Clinton wasn't gonna get re-elected because of her and she apparently treats the Secret Service like scum. So I got a note from one of our military personnel

45:52 Who listened to the show, he says one of my shooting buddies was on White House detail with the Secret Service and had to get four stitches in his head when Hillary threw a highball glass at him after we refused her order to fix her a drink. And he said look I'm a secret service agent ma'am i'm not your bartender And you know what the code word is that all the Secret Service guy use in DC but also when like when she flies into Afghanistan, you know they'll have a code word right? Yeah they all do. What's Obama's code word? Do we know his code name? I think we had it on the show once i don't know what it is anymore Hold on a second let's just find out yeah that would be in the secret service code names see if the book of knowledge can help us out here Renegade

46:44 What? Renegade. Really?! Renegade, really! Uh do you know what Lucifer's code name is? Well I'm looking... No no no this is not gonna be on the book of knowledge This is what the guys uh well it will be on the book of knowledge once this show gets fanscribed It'll be indexed. Well here wait, let me tell you what it says in the National NNDB for her So we then you can give me the real one or the new one or whatever they're using because I'm sure that changes anyway Yeah Where are you Hillary Clinton is? Bill Clinton was eagle

47:24 Spread Eagle. Sad Eagle! Chelsea Clinton was energy, so she must have been a little go-getter and Hillary Clinton was evergreen Well the guys in Afghanistan where this comes from of course call her broomstick Brumstick. I love that one because it has so many multiple meanings. Yeah, brumstick is on her way in warning warning 30 seconds still broomstick arrives. Chuck chuck broomsticks. So here's a here's the clip on broomstick leaving that i promised you uh on Sunday show. You what could we do to persuade you to run for vice president?

Hillary Clinton on Vice Presidency and Political Fatigue

In a recorded clip, Hillary Clinton addresses rumors about running for Vice President, stating she is flattered but intends to step down to see "how tired" she is after 20 years in politics. She praises Vice President Joe Biden's work and emphasizes her commitment to the State Department until a transition occurs. The hosts characterize her departure as a sign of political exhaustion.

hillary clinton· joe biden· vice president· state department· election

48:08 Oh my goodness. Well, oh my goodness. I'm so flattered. Let me get my broomstick First of all, it's one of the most extraordinary wonderful experiences being able to work with all of you. Which I am always telling people everywhere how privileged i am. I think that...I have made it clear that and I will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and transition can occur. But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years of being on the high wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that it would probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am. Everyone always says that when they leave these jobs

49:03 I think from my perspective, I will just work as hard as I can until the last minute. I have the honor of being Secretary and certainly do everything no matter what I do which I have no idea what it will be to support all of you and I'm happy to work with Vice President Biden, who does an excellent job and is a huge advocate supporter for this department. And for USAID so it's a little odd for me to be totally out of an election season since as Secretary of State I cannot participate but you know I didn't watch any of those debates.

49:47 Well there you have it. She's a self-professed tired bitch, there you go So let's go over some of these code names These are kind of funny this is and by the way they do change Some people have one to like George HW Bush was first sheepskin then snowstorm then timberwolf Hmm so it's not that Barbara Bush was Snowbank than tranquility Tim, what was Barbara Bush's name? She was originally Snowbanked and it was Tranquility. Jimmy Carter was Dasher then Deacon and then Lockmaster Apparently when Obama visited Gitmo Nation East they called him the officials there had code-named him Smart Alec that's just from the Book of Knowledge so I don't know if it's true It's not listed here Here he is listed as Renegade which you said And Michelle Obama is Renaissance

Supersonic Flight Revival and Concorde History

NASA has awarded Lockheed Martin a $20 million contract to develop a new, quieter, and more fuel-efficient supersonic passenger aircraft by 2020. The hosts reflect on the history of the Concorde, noting the trivia that the aircraft was scheduled for a return to service on September 11, 2001, the same day as the terrorist attacks.

52:17 Although the New York appeals court ruled O'Reilly's two children should live solely with their mother, Maureen McPhilmy. O'Reilly still maintains shared legal custody over them. Red 33! Alright, Clint Blitz, Clint Blitz, Clint Blitz Bill Clinton G We should have the list known beforehand Very affected by the fascist attempt to take over in Spain. So I bought out of the army, then I didn't know how to get to Spain till one day I was going to work and... What is that? I'm sorry thought that was Bill Clinton. That was an error. Concord 2

53:12 Oh man, this is a good one John. Well supersonic air travel could soon be on course for a comeback! Flying faster than the speed of sound is something the Concorde jet made possible until it was taken out of service 13 years ago but now NASA has awarded a 20 million dollar contract to American defense contractor Lockheed Martin to develop a new supersonic aircraft The plane is to have a passen- the plan, rather, is to have a passenger plane ready for takeoff by the year 2020. Well some conditions have already been set... The supersonic plane will have to be more fuel efficient and a whole lot quieter than the good old Concorde. It has to be green!

53:54 Green Concorde. This is where I get to tell my my my concord trivia because we never talk about the Concorde at one, the Concorde after it crashed in Germany with a German company that had leased it out for a party bad day. A real day record that was did receive a airworthiness certificate and was scheduled to make its maiden voyage reentering into the aviation world on what date? September 11th you nailed That's right, September 11th 2001. There you go and I flew on the Concorde a couple times Yeah well i'm gonna fly on this next one yeah Onward with Clip Blitz Google car Yeah I heard about this one Well meanwhile google says One of its self-driving cars has hit a bus The accident in the city of Mountain View

Google Self-Driving Car Accident and Mosul Dam Risk

A Google self-driving car was involved in a low-speed collision with a bus in Mountain View, California, which the hosts interpret as a failure of "skip logic" algorithms. Separately, U.S. officials warned of a catastrophic risk of failure at the Mosul Dam in Iraq, which could displace over a million people if it collapses.

54:55 I love that one. It was going two miles an hour, but still it proved that it made an unwise decision based upon the science and the algorithm which I just call skip logic. Yeah And this is all anti-Google self driving car? I think so. I think this is a beginning where we're gonna see a bunch of these kinds of things. Here's a story nobody has played up at all and I think its important This is the Iraq update dam In Iraq, U.S. officials are warning the country's largest dam is facing a quote unprecedented risk of catastrophic failure The US Embassy warns if the Mosul Dam collapses hundreds of thousands of people would be at risk of drowning and more than 1 million people would be displaced Meanwhile, a spate of deadly suicide bombings by ISIL in Iraq have killed more than 130 people over the last few days

San Francisco Jail Gladiator Fights and C-SPAN Prank Calls

San Francisco Sheriff's deputies were charged with forcing county jail inmates into "gladiator-style" fights for entertainment. In a lighter segment, a compilation of C-SPAN call-in pranks is played, including a caller from Newark discussing bankruptcy and a desire for a penile implant. The hosts dismiss the C-SPAN clip as "dubious" content.

san francisco· county jail· gladiator fights· c-span· bankruptcy· penile implant

55:48 I've seen this crop up. We talked about this on the show a while ago, when Mosul Dam was also in play. Oh if they blow that up then all these people downstream will die and... They're bringing this back for some reason. Let me finish Clip Blitz with this. My favorite story, and this is a Bay Area story. Cop fights prisoners. Formal charges have been filed against two San Francisco Sheriff's deputies and a former deputy they're all accused of forcing jail inmates to fight each other for entertainment in a gladiator style fight claw KTVU Henry Link tells us San Francisco's district attorney detailed the charges during a news conference today

56:32 San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón says the deputies forced county jail inmates Ricardo Garcia and Stanley Harris, who was much bigger than Garcia to fight each other at least twice in the jail on Bryant Street. Then Deputy Scott New allegedly told the two inmates that if they didn't fight each other He'd handcuff them, mace or tase them beat them and send to a different jail. This crime severely undermined the moral authority of the honest hard-working deputies that work hard day in and day out to protect us. Public defender Jeff Adachi helped bring allegations to light We call this sort of Game of Thrones gladiator fight

57:11 Oh boy, oh boy. This is your police? Yeah, yeah gosh bored Prison guards yeah well John thank you very much that was I have to say a very good That's right everybody Well i picked up a clip you know one of these retrospectives Yeah, I just changed the topic here. This is from The Best of C-Span a couple years ago this clip is The Best of C-Span call ins and thought it would be worth sharing Phone calls with one of three lines our next call Newark New Jersey go ahead yeah hi I got myself into really bad debt I was paying one credit card off with another for over four years

58:04 It just went on and on, and you know I mean. I'm like really broke right now about the file bankruptcy And you know I'm trying to get a penile implant. I need to enlarge my package pick up the chick these days North Carolina is next good morning Why didn't it was like no agenda show something anything yeah?

iOS Update Glitches and FBI iPhone Unlocking Theory

Apple released iOS 9.3.1 to fix "bricking" issues on older devices like the iPhone 5 and iPad 2. A host theorizes that the timing of this update, which allowed authentication via iCloud credentials rather than Apple's servers, coincided suspiciously with the FBI's announcement that they successfully unlocked a terrorist's iPhone without Apple's help.

apple· ios 9.3.1· fbi· iphone 5· icloud· encryption

58:42 Before we thank our producers and executive producers, I want to roll out a little anomaly that i noticed over the past week. I see just came in today apparently Apple has now released iOS 9.3.1 which would fix the problem I was having with my iPhone and of course I was not alone it is now day six so six days after this started of course we had Easter and yeah why would anyone work on Easter? And I was right actually, I was right about the shared web credentials and it turns out well The actual technical reason is not that interesting because it's obfuscating something else because there was an issue with the iOS 9.3 release initially if you probably saw

59:31 It was when this is more than a week before my problem started. They issued it, and then quote-unquote bricked older iPhones they pulled it back and reissued it and there was something different about this. Okay? The as you recall the reason and if this affected older devices And what would happen was you would install, the install would start and then it would say you need your iCloud credentials. And for whatever reason that broke a lot of people's installs so Apple took it back then they re-released it now even though was 9.3 the last few numbers of the release were the same was 2 3 actually strangely enough I think was three three at the end

1:00:21 for those older phones, and then people could unbrick their phones. And there is iPad 2s and here it comes iPhone 5 and they could restore them with the new update without being signed by Apple but being signed or authenticated by your iCloud login And this was just quickly, they put it out. People could fix it only for those devices and didn't really adhere to my problem or any... there were no other devices that were bricked What's interesting is the next day The FBI says yeah we don't need Apple we're all good It's all fine We're in

1:01:06 And I'm, and I don't know one hundred percent. So you're putting it... You're adding two and two? I am! I'm saying Apple released something specifically for iPhone 5 iPad 2 and it didn't work and then they re-released it and instead of Apple signing the update if you had iCloud credentials which we know the FBI has the iCloud credentials because they reset them It does not as far as I understand not dependent on the device to have the same password you could override that for this one time for this one release Boom Collaborateurs! Holy crap. Shave their heads, I tell ya'. That's the...I've never heard even thought of what you just said being part of the solution to that other issue they were having and a lot of people are gonna say no! And it's fine i'm just saying You're gonna say that anyway The timing of this With that voice by the way The timing of this is very very suspicious

Transatomic Power and Molten Salt Nuclear Reactors

Transatomic Power, a startup featured on Fareed Zakaria's GPS, is developing a "waste-annihilating molten salt reactor" (WAMSR) that can generate electricity from existing nuclear waste. The design is claimed to be cheaper than conventional reactors and significantly reduces the lifespan of radioactive waste. Nuclear expert Rod Adams notes that such small-scale reactors face opposition from established fossil fuel interests.

1:02:05 It was something interesting that I read it on a Hot Rod Atomic Adams blog about this company called Transatomic Power. A startup, they got a couple million dollars and they have a design which surprisingly dates back to 1925 or something of a small nuclear reactor that eats waste from other reactors And you, well here's a clip. The co-founders of course they have nothing and they have the little money and the development budget and probably won't go anywhere but surprisingly she was on GPS that's the anti constitutional douchebag known as Fareed Zakaria

1:02:49 who was surprisingly kind to her. So you have to question why that was taking place, here's a clip from that interview. there isn't really a solution for it yet. Until now, perhaps using a design that was invented 50 years ago they created the waste annihilating molten salt reactor. The waste annihilating molten salt reactor or WAMSR. We gotta get bumper stickers I love a WAMSR! The WAMSR uses molten salt to dissolve nuclear fuel

1:03:33 That ultimately reduces both the radioactivity and the amount of waste. The new reactor could create just 10 to 20 kilograms of long-lived waste per year instead of the twenty metric tons produced by a traditional commercial plant 20 kilograms of waste is about the size of a grapefruit. And the remaining waste that comes out, it's waste that's radioactive for just a few hundred years so much shorter than hundreds and thousands of years from other plants. Here is another big plus around the world today there exist about 270 thousand metric tons of high level nuclear waste

1:04:11 WAMSR could eat that waste and turn it into electricity. So this sounds great, why wouldn't everybody adopt this design? That's what we're hoping, ultimately. Is it more expensive? Is your plan more expensive? It's actually about half the cost per megawatt overnight construction of conventional nuclear reactors and that makes it... We can be on par with coal and we're trying to reduce the cost further to make it on par with natural gas. This sounds like a revolution! We should be all over this. What did Rod Adams say about it in the newsletter? He, well he's the one that pointed out and he's always been telling us about these backyard nooks this small stuff that can eat its own waste even this has been his consistent message and um you know he actually sent me an email I said just so you know The World Bank released their annual study of energy

1:05:07 There's exactly one little itty-bitty article about one small reactor. This is not in anyone's interest except, oh the people but it's not in the interest of gas and oil and coal because once you have this there's just not a lot of money to be made unless you want to make the cost of the actual electricity astronomically expensive. Did you see this movie going around on the net on chemtrails? Which one I think the one that's a guy recently in which discusses the meetings that were taking place Yes, you're what putting the aluminum dust in the air. What the hell on earth are they spraying? You mean now because of yeah Trying to cut down on chemistry

CHAPTER 27 / 58 Discussion

Chemtrail Theories and Airplane Bathroom Oxygen Removal

A discussion on "chemtrails" suggests that aluminum dust is being sprayed in the atmosphere to combat global warming, with toxic side effects for the population. Additionally, a new FAA Airworthiness Directive requires the removal of chemical oxygen generators from airplane laboratories (bathrooms) due to security concerns that they could be tampered with to create bombs.

chemtrails· global warming· aluminum dust· faa· oxygen generators

1:05:53 That's going, you got me. They're trying to cut down on global warming so they're gonna put this shit in the air to get you know cloud up place yeah that's all sub-micron particles which are actually toxic so as they come to earth no matter what you do you breathe them in yes and you die poisoning the entire world globe? Yes, yes, yes John. That's what they're up too? Yes! Yeah, what about it They're probably trying to kill us all. Oh, well finally! It's taken me five years but he finally comes around ladies and gentlemen No no I'm not coming around at all You are definitely busted. You're busted. You're coming around.

1:06:31 Good one. We got you ladies and gentlemen another chemtrail truther John by the way You're the one your chemtrails there has always been they're spraying some weird chemicals in the air so they can Sedate the public, so nobody complains too much And it's different is killing off the public seems to be working doesn't it well? You got a pretty passive group out there yes for sure The kids are getting in on it now Well this is very interesting, the document that I had has all of a sudden been removed but there was an airworthiness directive. This is very interesting You always have to save page as... I have, I'd save pages as but I don't have it here on this machine anyway if you're going to poop on an airplane just try and hold it in seriously don't poop don't stay in the bathroom too long and I will tell you why An Airworthiness Directive has been

1:07:31 issued which in AD as it's known means you have to comply with this and you have to do it within a certain time frame. This is an emergency AD airworthiness directive I follow these being an aviator various transport category airplanes equipped with chemical oxygen generators have to be removed from the laboratory so, in other words If you are in the bathroom and there is a sudden drop in cabin pressure, you will have no oxygen available to you in that area of the plane. The reason why? Is security reasons because someone could tamper with that and turn it into a bomb

1:08:11 So now when it... Makes sense. Right, yeah makes total sense so now when you're flying if there's a loss in cabin pressure and you're in the bathroom well kiss your ass goodbye because you're dying unless you can really run back quickly and get yourself some oxygen this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of take out the oxygen in the bathroom because someone might try and blow up the plane with it Brother. Oh brother is right my friend I didn't even know there was a thing that flopped down in the bathroom yep yeah okay well how many times by the way are you flown commercially a few times haven't it has occurred yeah how many times in your what just zero

CHAPTER 28 / 58 Discussion

Flight Turbulence Anecdotes and Emergency Oxygen

The hosts share personal flying experiences, noting that in decades of travel, they have never seen emergency oxygen masks deploy. An anecdote is shared about a particularly rough flight from Denver to Aspen where extreme turbulence caused widespread motion sickness and the eventual deployment of masks after the plane took a steep dive.

aviation· turbulence· denver· aspen· oxygen masks

1:08:58 Zero. Never happened. You're telling me that in flying for 30 plus years you have never had an incident where you've needed the oxygen and they didn't happen? 40, 40 plus years I was flying when we had to wear suits and my sisters wore white gloves and hats That's what flying used to do So for forty years you've never...and you fly a lot at least for awhile I used too yeah And you've never had this happen? Never Huh Have you? No, as a matter of fact it's never happened to me and the funny thing is I don't know anyone who has ever has happened to. Oh except one guy take it back there was this story I'll tell it uh the and I took this flight it was the flight from Denver to

1:09:38 to Aspen and it's a miserable flight over the Rockies and typically back in the day when you had to fly on some of these prop jet electros as you recall they were kind of a sickening ride. And this guy is flying in on, he told the story after the fact, on a smaller plane was a prop job going over the mountains up-and-down up-and-down now everyone was getting sick and throwing up. Cool! And the plane kinda went into kinda like... It was just people were..it was just a puke fest everybody was thrown up all over the place And apparently there was puke everywhere and it was all along the, uh... It got in the aisles and the plane went into kind of a nosedive. And rolled down the aisle. The stewardess fell on her ass and slid on the puke all the way to the front of the plane. Sorry! And then oxygen masks came down.

CHAPTER 29 / 58 Discussion

Patrick Moore Monsanto Interview and Glyphosate Safety Claim

During a French television interview, consultant Patrick Moore claimed that the herbicide glyphosate (Roundup) is safe enough for humans to drink a quart of it. However, when the interviewer offered him a glass of the chemical, Moore refused, calling the interviewer a "jerk" and an "idiot" before abruptly ending the segment. The hosts mock Moore's hypocrisy and lack of scientific integrity.

patrick moore· monsanto· glyphosate· roundup· golden rice· france

1:10:31 That's what I was told. That's awesome, great story! It's a visual thing... Uplifting story John, uplifting stories some magic numbers for you before you go. I was offside. While you bring this up there was another interview which is doing the rounds excuse me this is um ah it's one of the former Greenpeace guy uh who is now a consultant to Monsanto There's a lot of GMO stuff Let me see, member... let me just see if I can find this guy's name. He was being interviewed in France about... but I think he was there to promote this golden rice? We've talked about this before. The golden rice with the vitamin A Yeah which is going to save the world of overpopulation. I'm just cutting to the chase that's what they're saying that's really what they're trying to tell you

1:11:21 So this guy is there and he consults for Monsanto, Patrick Moore is his name. And there's a report that came out which I have not gone through in any detailed fashion yet saying that Roundup Ready, the main Monsanto herbicide insecticide... No, herbicide. Okay that does not kill their genetically modified seeds which Bill Gates and these guys are trying to spread all over Africa because then we will own the continent Well we've been trying to kill off the Africans for some time Hello! They're annoying

1:12:02 I have stuff on that too. Anyway, so yeah i do So he um... So the interviewer does something really really interesting when this guy is pontificating about how safe Roundup Ready is. I believe that glyphosate in Argentina is causing increases in cancer you can drink a whole quart of it and it won't hurt you You want to drink some? We have some here. I'd be happy to actually. Okay, you can drink a whole quart and it won't kill you and the guy says oh you want some but got some right here yeah i'll be happy too! Not really but... If if you say so. No no, I'm not stupid

1:12:37 First he says great interview first. He says you can drink it then he won't drink it Yeah, yeah sure you want to drink shit or yes time here I'd be happy to actually but not not really but I know it wouldn't hurt me if You say so I have some glasses. I'm not stupid Ah, okay. So you... No but I know that- It's dangerous right? People try to commit suicide and then they fail fairly regularly Tell the truth! It is not dangerous for humans no it's not so are you ready to drink one glass of nephosate? No i'm not an idiot Interview me about golden rice that's what i'm talking about Okay then it's finished except then the interview is finished That's a good way to solve things Yeah You're a complete jerk

1:13:20 You're a complete jerk that is great idea is it's more like clip of the day, but it just Why wouldn't I give it to you? I think it's because, these kinds of things go on a lot. All the time... It's okay! You're an idiot! You're a complete jerk! You're an idiot! That's good! Well this does come amidst a whole bunch of news about... And by the way let me stop if the guy comes on and makes a blanket statement that you can drink I drink a quart of it and you won't even have a sip What are you doing on the show? You big phony. That's why he left, he knew he had nothing left to do there. He sucked! But of course... Here is another thing people should be aware of. If your going to go on a show and pull stunt like this for one thing your dishonest to begin with but if your gonna leave the guy

Difficult Interviews and Skunk Baxter Anecdote

The hosts recount experiences with difficult interview subjects, including a failed session with guitarist Skunk Baxter and his manager, who became irate over music piracy during the early MP3 era. Another anecdote describes an encounter with singer Bryan Adams, who was reportedly "glib" and uncooperative during a tour interview.

skunk baxter· brian adams· mp3· music industry· interviews

1:14:11 hang in there with you not in there, all he's gonna do is rag on ya. That's what I would do with this guy...I've only had one guy when I was doing real computing or software hard talk, one of the two and this was during the early days of MP3 era and I had Skunk Baxter on who's a very interesting character himself. Wait isn't he a bass player? No, he's the guitarist in... Oh, guitarist. Yeah, yeah. That guy and his manager And his manager was a... I don't know what was wrong with the guy. But he was just yelling and screaming like a maniac about people stealing music! It was crazy to the point where you couldn't ask him a simple question without him yelling and screaming, we had to kill the interview We just killed it, never ran. I've had some tough interviews in my time You run into these guys but of course worst is the guy who doesn't say anything

1:15:12 Yeah, I had one Brian Adams who was a huge fan of Brian Adams and finally I was gonna meet him interview but he was on tour which you know That's why give him some leeway Many years after the fact but I was like excited. You know like cool talk to Brian out He was a total dick just like wouldn't answer anything be out just glib But as well always goody don't want it this whole discipline models Tara sounds good Did you hear that there was a bomb threat in Petaluma? There's always a bomb threat in Petaluma. There was a lot of meth heads up there. At the Twit Brickhouse Oh, there was? Yeah I never heard this! March 23rd This is the police. The Petaluma Police Dispatch received a phone call from a male who claimed he had placed 8 pipe bombs at 140 Keller Street When police dispatch asked why they picked that address the male caller said because it was the Twit Brick House and their all going to die

CHAPTER 31 / 58 Discussion

Bomb Threat at the TWiT Brick House

On March 23, Petaluma Police responded to a bomb threat at the "TWiT Brick House," the studio for Leo Laporte's technology podcast network. A caller claimed to have placed eight pipe bombs in the building because he was upset with the company and his life. While the building was not formally ordered to evacuate, most employees left while police conducted a visual inspection.

petaluma· twit· leo laporte· bomb threat· pipe bombs· police

1:16:07 What? The caller was asked why he was upset with Twit and the caller stated he was not just upset with them but his whole life. The caller claimed that he is going to take them all out and the bombs he had placed in the building would go off in three hours! The caller then made threats to go to the business and shoot all of the occupants at the building before the bombs went off. The caller hung up after this statement. Petaluma Police responded to the business, contacted the management of Twit That'd have been the time to watch the live feed. Which is a technology podcast company, oh Leo will hate that... providing the latest perspective and trends in digital technology phones The management of the company was advised of the call and the need for police to perform a visual inspection of the inside of the building to attempt and locate any explosive devices

1:16:54 Company employees were not ordered to evacuate the building. However, they were advised for the safety of their employees It might be best for them to leave most employees left until the business could be cleared by police That's not very nice No Funny funny but it was I get material won't use it The keeper and I you know we'd sometimes we We realized that we have certain cultural things that we like, and... ...we discovered that we both had watched a lot of Elvis movies when were kids. Already funny! Yeah it is!

Misogyny in Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii

A re-watching of the 1963 Elvis Presley film "Blue Hawaii" leads to a discussion about the overt misogyny and casual cruelty toward women depicted in the movie. The hosts describe scenes of Elvis's character being physically aggressive and demeaning toward female characters, noting how much social standards have shifted since the film's release.

elvis presley· blue hawaii· misogyny· hollywood· 1963· netflix

1:17:35 And I apologize, actually in hindsight it probably should have clipped it. But so we decide Saturday afternoon let's watch Elvis movie We chose Blue Hawaii Now the reason I bring this up you'll recall the last time we went back and looked at an old movie It was Breakfast At Tiffany's which is heralded as Audrey Hepburn best piece of work ever and its a screwball crazy ass stupid ass movie And you kind of agreed to that. Do you recall Blue Hawaii by Elvis at all? Vaguely so it opens up he's coming back from the army He's been gone for two years, he lands in Hawaii. The plane doors open You know as the steps down on the tarmac his girlfriend is waiting He's making out with a stewardess looking at his girlfriends and hey baby I was just fooling around and she goes okay Elvis It was okay they go along and then he's throwing her in the water. He's tripping her on the beach

1:18:28 17 year old spanking them, spanking them and then the girl sit down on a pillow later and say oh yes I'll be much better now. It's unbelievable! The whole movie is one big misogynistic piece of crap. I don't recall it that way. Huh? What did the keeper think? Did she remember it that way? No no! She must have been outraged. No we were both jaws dropped like holy crap We've come a long way. Elvis was just a dick in this movie, at least in this movie is made in 1963 so of course that was you know the year before I was born even but I encourage everybody just watch that just the opening sequence and you can flip through it but boy Hollywood was mean towards women 50 years ago 52 years ago yeah well Yeah, 52 years ago

1:19:25 Okay, well I suppose if you went back 80 years ago it'd be worse. Yeah probably but this is within my lifetime so i say you know Well your only one No I was zero I was minus one It wasn't within your lifetime hello? okay But it was not even within your lifetime Yes! This movie...I saw it within my lifetime that's my belief Oh yeah when I was a kid When I was a kid I watched the old Charlie Chaplin films too Yeah exactly Exactly. I think a lot of the Elvis movies were misogynist, I think a lot of this stuff from the 50s What year was that movie you said? 63 63 huh yeah that was just before the

1:20:07 The flower children, the silver rides of hippies. And I will say although it was much more focused on the misogyny you know they have little helpers in the uh because Elvis's parents owned the fantastic Hawaiian fruit company or something and they have all these little slaves running around like Indonesian type little boys hey boy go get the hose boy! Unbelievable It should be banned from Netflix! I'm outraged. We should be banning Netflix for even allowing that to be shown?

No Agenda Show Logistics and Thursday Return

The hosts wrap up the first half of the Christmas special, praising Sir Ramsey Cain's production work. They remind listeners that donations received for the holiday show will be acknowledged during the upcoming Thursday broadcast. They emphasize their commitment to keeping the show under three hours despite the volume of content.

1:21:00 Well, we're back live kind of at least in the middle of the clips that was pretty good I was surprised. Yeah, I loved a little clip bitch blitz thing that he put in there and yeah We need to do down the show more often clip blitz we haven't done it for a while Yeah, well you know why is because we keep running out of time It's like we try to keep it under three hours. We really do, but sometimes it just so hard. Yeah the clip blitz requires a lot of short clips and that's the way it's done well maybe we'll see what the new year brings us which of course will be kicking off next Sunday

1:21:38 and we will have a... Actually, we're doing a show in the middle of it. Yeah on Thursdays. We're still doing a show on Thursday so we might as well remind people that they can help the show out by contributing to this upcoming Thursday Show and then the following New Year's Show And we work most holidays at Thanksgiving we tend to work just when Christmas falls on his show day It's and a Sunday at the same time it's pretty hard to pull it off yeah like yeah And it's yeah, people just aren't listening. That's what we found out so we'll do it this way is perfect. I will remind people that people came in with donations for this show and there was enough of them they'll be moved to the Thursday show with profuse thanks. Yeah and so if you have a longer little read on the Thursday or anyone who comes in like today or afterwards devorek.org slash NA is a good place to go there will be a newsletter you probably received yesterday

1:22:35 And I think everything should, I think we just might as well continue on with our clips. All right so again that reminder for our next show which will be on Thursday you can go to devorak.org slash N-A Now back to the music nonstop on The No Agenda Show! I'm sorry wrong station.

Rio Olympics Ad Sales and Government Waste Reports

NBC reported over $1 billion in advertising sales for the Rio Olympics. In other news, the USGS linked a spike in seismic activity in Oklahoma and Kansas to wastewater injection from oil drilling. Additionally, a Justice Department watchdog revealed that $86 million was wasted on a DEA aircraft for Afghanistan that remains non-functional in a Delaware hangar.

1:23:19 turmoil in Brazil comes just months before the summer olympics and Rio de Janeiro. The television network NBC said Tuesday it's already surpassed one billion dollars in advertising sales for the Rio Olympics putting an on track to set a record for the most national advertising ever sold for a single event nice no criticism of that event Earthquakes. About 7 million people in the United States live in areas at risk of an earthquake induced by human activity, that's according to a new report by the U.S. Geological Survey which said states including Oklahoma and Kansas are now as high of a risk as earthquake prone California of a devastating earthquake

Wild Turkey Attacks and the Upper Decker Prank

A police dispatch recording from Hillsdale describes a mail carrier being attacked by wild turkeys. The hosts then discuss the "urban meaning" of the term "Upper Decker," a prank involving defecating in a toilet's water tank. They contrast this modern "sick" prank with older, more destructive schoolboy pranks involving sodium metal or cherry bombs.

1:25:42 What's up police? Sergeant McLaughlin. Hey Sarge, this is the postmaster in Hillsdale. Hey, how you doing? Okay... You're not going to believe this but I got a carrier that is being attacked by wild turkeys and won't let them deliver the mail. Where?! On Esplanade drive. Esplanade? Yeah! I guess that's it. E-S-P-L-A-N-E. Esplanade Lake Drive. 28 okay being attacked by turkey This isn't going on its crazy they are actually attacking biting chasing trucks everything Wow Take a look at it. All right, I'll send him over there. Thank you. Bye bye. What is that? Do you have more? Yeah one more. One more. Alright last one. Enough is enough! No kidding. Enough...is...enough!!!

1:26:33 All righty then very good a quick note that I don't know if you got that We were talking about we knighted one of our producers as sir upper Decker Right and we both assumed this was about baseball. I didn't see it. I just said it was about baseball I didn't assume anything Oh, did you know there's no that there's a an urban meaning to this upper Decker? No, but it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't a sex thing. A number of people set me straight on this Thursday show United gentlemen as Sir Upper Decker you and John assumed that he was referring to seating in a stadium however It is widely known under a different meaning Apparently not too old fogies like you and me John what we are stupid

1:27:20 Well everything can be a sexual thing. I mean, I could have also said it was the upper deck of a 747 and guy likes to fly in business class Why are you saying it's a sex... I just threw that out there! I didn't know why he is calling himself that Excuse me? Why are you saying its a sexual-I didn't say it's a sexual thing Oh I am. I'm saying it's a sex thing now No I know what it means You do? No I have no idea An upper decker is when you remove the lid off the toilet tank and poop inside the tank and replace the lid Not long after Said poop becomes putrid and very foul a good prank to pull on someone you're not too fond of that's a great prank They flush the toilet

1:27:58 This is not funny. This is lame! Is this an American- It's sick! Is this what we do in the indispensable nation known as America? Is this what we're all about?! I can say this much, The two farts that do this show don't know about it because we come from more civilized era Who would have thought of such a crazy idea? Well, only in the industry. When I was a kid the concept then was to get a good cube probably like i say a square inch cube metallic sodium and flush it down the toilet. We did cherry bombs down the toilet. Cherry bombs don't compare to what a cube of sodium metal can do, you flush it down the toilet gets pretty far down and just blows up the entire sewer system throws crap and everything out of all the toilets yeah that makes a complete mess that's the kind of thing we used to do not the same crapping in the upper deck I can't believe someone came up with that

Lawrence Ferlinghetti on San Francisco Gentrification

Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, owner of City Lights Bookstore, criticizes the "rapid gentrification" of San Francisco driven by Silicon Valley wealth. On his 96th birthday, Ferlinghetti describes the new tech millionaires as having "bags full of cash and no manners." Online commenters dismiss his views as those of an out-of-touch "fogie."

1:29:02 How pathetic is that? Well, and then it caught on! And it has a name. And we got duped again Again, we got duped! KOOK BROTHERS!!! They're pooping in our toilet they're making us promote their movies But yes ladies and gentlemen only in the indispensable nation Will you see people being upper deckers It gave me an idea for a product Somebody removes the lid of the toilet and then alarm goes off Okay That would stop them All right, well that reminds me as a segue. This isn't gonna go no further No So we have 86 the birthday of the famous poet beat poet who is something of a character in Lawrence Ferlinghetti very famous Beat poet from the 50s and 60s I had his 96th birthday you explain a beat poet

1:30:03 Is that where you instead of clapping, you snap your fingers? Well, you go to a coffee shop. Somebody be reading some dry poetry. You'd be on the bongos and I'll be on the kazoo. You'd be on the bongos listening while drinking cappuccino and probably stoned on reefer black turtleneck Black turtleneck, right? You look like a guy with black... Stoned on reefer. And listening to the guys read the poems but anyway Frontingetti's owns the City Lights bookshop which was opened years and years ago and it was in is still in San Francisco He's got some complaints about you know The latest thing going on so here's what he says

1:30:52 Today, San Francisco is better known as a central hub of the tech boom. a city of entrepreneurs and companies like Twitter that have become international giants. And while that boom is credited with driving unemployment to an all-time low, it's also blamed for rapid gentrification making the city unaffordable for many. And that rankles Ferlin Getty. A new brand of dot com millionaires and generally Silicon Valley money have moved into San Francisco The bag's full of cash and no manners. The pace of change, Ferlinghetti says has quickened beyond control. Okay I get it yeah he's right. Bags full of cash, no manners. Bags full of cash, no manners. They're all douchebags And so this you know he's an old guy from the area and you know there's a birthday should show some respect but in the manner of oh get a Mac

1:31:51 as commentary. And by the way, this is going to be our probably our ultimate demise will be a similar kind of reaction from the no manners casual callous A-holes who have taken over the place you get this is what you end up with. Of course, Ferlin Getty's is not the only view of San Francisco these days when a version of this story was posted online recently he did draw support but there were a few strong blast as well What a crank, wrote one person. The city is still as vibrant and creative as it ever was except now young ambitious people are in tech Another wrote In 60 years I'll be complaining about the new crop of San Franciscans Fogies gonna fogue Oh its ageism You're a crank you're a fogie And fogie's gotta fogue Yeah get the fog outta here

Severed Feet Washing Ashore in the Pacific Northwest

The ongoing phenomenon of severed human feet washing ashore in the Pacific Northwest continues with a new discovery at Powell River. The hosts note a lack of coordination between Canadian and American authorities in tracking the total number of feet found in the Salish Sea. One instance was debunked as a sea lion paw placed inside a sneaker.

vancouver· washington state· severed feet· nike· sea lion· salish sea

1:32:50 Anyway, I just thought that was a little insight into the area. Nobody actually knows who this guy is But once the money runs out all these everyone will be broke and gone some foots in the news Did we report on the foot from last week? I don't remember Is this the Powell River? the one that came up in vancouver yeah though we didn't want uh... there were a couple got to report on it came last week was last show but you know agenda for start karma everything's been tracked to meticulously where the only media outlet attracts the foot sinio shins that are washing up on shore i was close mostly there was one that uh... washed up and they said it was uh... it wasn't a human foot it was uh... like the foot of the sea lion i was a sea lion doing wearing a nike now that's crazy if

1:33:41 Yes, so anyway another foot showed up in a tennis shoe. The Powell River. And I was pointing out in the email when we went back and forth on this is that The Canadians, they're documenting the feet that wash up there but just like ten less than 10 miles south of them where the feet are washing up in Washington State on the same basic area. Neither one of these two sides says hey wait a minute this total is a little more than we think! We've only washed up six feet and you know in Puget Sound and then the Canadians have about eight foots. Yeah well

Socialist Noodle Shop Employee and Labor Unions

An interview with a millennial employee at a "Noodles" restaurant features complaints about the "dictatorship" of the workplace, where managers dictate cooking methods and schedules. The employee, a member of the International Socialist Organization, argues for the necessity of a union to gain power. The hosts mock the employee's perceived lack of understanding regarding basic employment.

1:34:24 So in Wisconsin of course we've got all kinds of groups in there now, all kinds of crazies are popping up because you know it you can get on TV. I think that's why they're all showing up there and there is an organization called the ISO which I think is the International Socialist Organization so this interview...I don't think its a mainstream clip which makes even funnier.. Of these millennial being interviewed And he said, I'm a socialist and we really need to change things. If we don't stand up for our rights nothing's going to change Now he works at Noodles What? Noodles which i dont think is a national chain It sounds like it's kind of small outfit this noodle Am I wrong about that do you know noodles? I dont know it might or might not be I can look it up But its noodles

1:35:17 Now listen to the attitude this kid throws down on how it should be at Noodle's because it ain't going the way he thinks it should be. Well, like I described earlier there are two fundamental classes that aren't just a plain fact in society you either work for someone else or you work for yourself Yeah by the way kid thats called America thats how we do it here and the best thing is try and start your own business well we used to kind of open to doing that now listen to what he did what is great news job people for someone else in a way that they are You don't really get to decide your work. For example, I work at noodles a restaurant and basically it's a dictatorship there We're told exactly what we're gonna cook how are we going to cook it? What time we're gonna get there and basically if they don't like what they're doing They try to tell us what to do is fail this and they get rid of us And so okay, it's called having a job. Holy mackerel. This is a great clip This isn't a clip with today. Can you believe this guy

1:36:18 They tell us how to cook, tell us what time to get there and if you don't then you get fired. The nerve of them! We're not able to actually cooperate in a way that we make decisions together I try to convince my fellow employees that we should have a union at Noodle Soap as a source of power just to start with This is what's wrong? We need a source of power There's a whole bunch of you in one. You know I've got this no agenda news network calm which is really rolling pretty well Yeah, great Where did that clip come from from the knowledge and the news Network calm I mean where did it originally come from wasn't that News Network That was out interviewing this kid hold on a second. I can find it for

1:37:03 We need more clips like that. That was good wasn't it? Oh yeah, I can't believe it man like they gave me some money and then they told me what to do. Yeah, I told them to shove it! And they told me how to cook man this is not okay alright. It's just not...I don't know how to cook but I don't need to be told. And noodles so we gotta have a union of noodles But the whole interview is so incredibly serious, which is kind of the frightening thing about it. It's just like oh my god! You know? Yeah... Well it's in the show notes I gotta find a note. You know Eddie at the media office who's a millenial. Who really-I really like this kid but he and once when I talked to him about the fact that he's working and he's always laughing about everything I said you're the only one in your group that works right? He says yeah

Loss of Manufacturing and Youth Work Ethic

A discussion on the decline of American manufacturing focuses on the "sociological loss" of entry-level labor for youth. The hosts contrast their own childhood experiences of paper routes and hard labor with a modern generation that they claim lacks experience being managed or following instructions. They argue that the loss of factories has removed vital socialization opportunities for young people.

1:37:55 he says the funny thing is, he goes to work and leaves a group of guys I guess he's living with a bunch of guys or whatever but he hangs out with a bunch of guys. First he gets up at six in the morning and surfs then comes into work. He says it was only time we'll ever have to surf then he goes home he says he gets home and the guys that he left before he went to work are sitting there not having done a damn thing! And who is paying for all that? I don't know...I guess he is..I have no idea Unbelievable Yeah. But I mean, how misguided is that? I don't...I think the loss of manufacturing in this country which doesn't give kids the opportunity to work in the summertime when I was a kid When I was a kid! I used to work every summer when I went through high school I had a job somewhere and did something and when I was even younger than that I had two paper routes I didn't have one, I had two paper routes I had regular Oakland Tribune route and I had a shopper route

1:38:50 and then I worked every summer, and then during college, I worked every year or every summer. And I had various gimmicks to get better jobs so I'd get paid a lot. So I've always been working it. One time I was bitching about kids in Port Townsend hanging around in the summertime and I wrote an op-ed years ago on the San Francisco Examiner bitching about these kids not doing anything. This is like 20 years ago. And I got a whole bunch of letters from kids saying do what? He says there's nothing to do, there are no jobs anywhere. There are no businesses that want to hire us so what we supposed to do? We just hang around and it has created an entire generation of kids who don't know anything about work they don't know how to take orders So you're saying because we really have those jobs anymore they don't do them I did hard labor

1:39:41 I stacked firewood, but you know like in big orange bags filled with mahogany which is like crazy heavy. It's something yeah or painting the gas station and I'd have to paint the tanks and stuff Yeah, you gotta do stuff. There's stuff to do there's nothing to do these kids have nothing there's no opportunities for them I mean Eddie's job is basically watching videos all day and that's like a job but it's nothing like these old jobs used to be we used to have factories all over the place that always needed extra help

1:40:17 and I think, I don't think it's just a loss of manufacturing in this country that the problem is. The social loss of manufacturing that's the problem is not that we need to build stuff in this country yeah you get a job at Boeing probably if you were an engineer but the fact of the matter is there's no so we don't socialize our kids to be into working they don't work and then thus they don't even thinking that they don't have enough experience working space to know how to do entrepreneurial stuff well enough because they'd never seen a business how it works and how people are or uh... or managed i'd be good this kid is a perfect example of these people were telling me what to do i don't get why were they doing that yeah there's not if we have to work together figure out how to make noodles

1:41:01 It's disturbing. I think the sociology of the loss of manufacturing is more important than the actual loss of manufacturing, and i think it should have been subsidized even if we're taking a beating because these kids... We have an entire generation or two generations that don't know crap about working or being managed or following instructions or anything like that they've been to school now they're just bums And what are we going to do about this, Dr. Dvorak? Uh nothing we're doomed We're doomed right it's all over Oh good. I was killed This guy was it was about the story about the Glock It's very interesting Right now I saw that we didn't play those It's Glock Story Part 2 it's a little long Yeah but apparently they guys who were promoting the Glock gun which is you know which is a plastic gun that everyone was buying left and right They decided

Glock Marketing and the Shot Show Stripper

An anecdote from the firearms industry describes a marketing strategy used by Glock at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The company reportedly hired a top performer from a local gentlemen's club to act as a spokesperson. Because she was trained to disassemble and handle the weapons proficiently, many international agents and police attendees mistakenly assumed she was a CIA operative.

glock· shot show· las vegas· marketing· cia· firearms

1:41:54 Do do a big deal at the shot show which is this huge? trade show in Las Vegas so they and so they used to wine and dine all the buyers from all the police departments and everybody it At the Atlanta Gold Club, and there's a bunch of anecdotes about that. So they decided this guy who was the marketing guys a genius Apparently much better than I am in marketing our show And the guy decides to get the best-looking girl to gold club among the 300 strippers and decide to have her as the spokesperson at the show, and to promote the heck out of us all. Apparently they packed the booth in because this girl was so gorgeous." Of course! Isn't that exactly what you do? They said they had to train her though at the Glock facility so she knew how to use a gun who could take it apart. So they put her in there with a bunch of police guys international agents and all this other stuff but they didn't have the guts to tell them these guy were training with a stripper

1:42:50 So he said everybody just assumed she was with the CIA. Oh perfect. I'm perfect Actually, I'm scanning to see if we can find that clip. That's okay. It's too long to play. I just played it fun Yeah you did all right all right onward yes Did you know that in an 1897 actually really didn't really start until 1904? I think that electric cars were all the rage that the the Roush and Lang electric car that was like the big they were producing I think 50 a month or 200 a month and then everyone was driving electric cars in 1904 until they came out with the combustion engine. Yeah when it came up with the more practical combustion engine

Stagnation in Battery Technology and Tesla Research

The hosts discuss the perceived lack of innovation in battery technology, noting that most modern designs are merely "tweaks" on century-old lead-acid or lithium concepts. They explore the possibility that more advanced energy solutions have been suppressed, citing the historical destruction of Nikola Tesla's research documents as a potential example of lost scientific breakthroughs.

batteries· lithium· nikola tesla· forbes· energy· suppression

1:43:37 You know you could drive and then put some more gas in it and drive some more. But here's the thing, what kind of batteries were they using? Lead acid batteries or... Yeah they had to be I mean that's the thing that hasn't really improved Is it just me or can we come up with a better battery It seems like When I was writing for Forbes I was doing a lot of energy stories about different technologies including like this zinc air Is that why your no longer writing for Forbes No, it was a long story. I got time So I'm writing these stories so I got into the scene quite a bit and I still kind of keep up and I ran into I was talking to All the guys who do these really weird exotic batteries will tell you the same thing Battery technology hasn't really changed in any meaningful way. I mean its change has been tweaked

1:44:27 And you know the lithium batteries are interesting but this is all tweaks on old inventions that go back, almost everything's public domain. They go back a hundred years. No one has come up with a new battery idea. Or has it just been suppressed perhaps? Believe me... No, it hasn't been suppressed. Some magic battery zero point energy? Yes! Yeah you just get it out of the air and the energy's around you man... It's around you. It's Orgone Energy Well y'know you can stick basically a metal pipe in the earth and power a light bulb A small one but you can power a small light bulb I mean there is indeed energy all around us that's undeniable

1:45:13 It's great. Everywhere, man. Everywhere. Are you being a dick to me? Is that what I'm hearing? Come on! You know I believe in this stuff...I think it has been suppressed. Oh yeah. It was Tesla. They burned all of his research, all of his documents. You know that guy had something going on. He had some ideas that were way good I don't like the idea of burning documents, that's for sure. But these inventions are out there. If somebody could come up with a great new battery technology... Now entering second half of show!

Earthquake Machines and the Fukushima Tsunami Theory

The 2011 Fukushima disaster is discussed as a potentially "planned event" intended to turn global opinion against nuclear energy. Reference is made to 1997 testimony by Secretary of Defense William Cohen regarding the existence of "eco-terrorism" technologies like earthquake machines. The hosts suggest a "cabal" move to push nations toward liquid natural gas by making nuclear power appear dangerous.

fukushima· earthquake machine· william cohen· japan· nuclear energy· tsunami

1:46:06 There's the theremin, I want one! Somebody has got to find me a real theremin. I bet you we can get us a theremin for ya. Okay so i told you that... By the way yeah what? Can you imagine with me having it there in here It would probably interfere with this computer like so because of all the crazy RF coming off that thing. I love it. You need to use it. I betcha someone or one of our producers has a theremin somewhere That we can use on the show. Oh, somebody should. I hope somebody has a sling box in New York! And if anyone can get us in touch with Maradona and Argentina that would be appreciated Well by the way, a sling box in Australia would be awesome

1:46:51 Okay, so I love it. I love it when we get to cross off another thing out of the Red Book and I think that we've had so many pieces... We started off the show with die-hard proof that Hillary Clinton's getting a face job Now something that I've been all over for more than a year actually been over for much much longer and this is the existence of what I will generally call earthquake machinery Now many people scoff and laugh at me, but of course you can't really do that because I've shown you many times. I've linked to it again in 475.nashonis.com the actual testimony of Secretary of Defense Cohen who testified that many other nations were using biological weapons such as earthquake machines and we needed to have them as well You recall this John?

1:47:45 Apparently there's some mention of earthquake machines in a UN document. Yes, well but this is actual testimony in our own United States Congress so we don't even need it in the you with the UN called for that no one should have these biological weapons and what Secretary of Defense Cohen said was yeah We probably should have our own just in case So when Fukushima when the earthquake occurred and they've had several large earthquakes off the coast of Japan since, and many prior. But this tsunami thing was pretty crazy it knocked out the reactor which of course has prompted Japan now to stop all nuclear energy. Germany said, stop on nuclear energy be very afraid of nuclear energy it's all going melt down your fish are radioactive we're all gonna die oh the cloud is floating over well were not dead yet and I submit you that this is a cabal move against nuclear energy and now of course will all be told the move to liquid natural gas

1:48:46 Do you remember, I guess it was a couple of months after the Fukushima event that we were getting all these emails from people who said oh the thing is gonna blow and there's proof positive it's gonna blow up. No agenda should be on this. Hundreds of thousands of people are going to die! Die! I tell you die from radiation Now, the problem I had with the earthquake and I said it the day after it happened. This was a planned event. It was very shallow earthquake. Remember it's like one kilometer if even that according to seismology

Project Seal and the 1940s Tsunami Bomb Tests

Filmmaker Ray Waru uncovered secret documents detailing "Project Seal," a joint U.S.-New Zealand operation in the 1940s to develop a "tsunami bomb." The project involved 4,000 test explosions off the coast of Auckland to determine if coastal cities could be inundated by man-made waves. The hosts use this historical data to support their skepticism regarding modern seismic events.

project seal· new zealand· tsunami bomb· ray waru· world war ii

1:49:28 And I had a problem with it. This feels to me like this was set in motion, remember we even tracked some company that had some weird apparatus they set up? There's all kinds of things pointing to a man-made event that caused this tsunami and of course crazy moon landing guy global warming denier holocaust denier republican racist whatever you want Listen to this report from New Zealand. A secret operation in the 1940s to develop a tsunami bomb in coastal waters on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula north of Auckland has been uncovered The United States and New Zealand conducted secret tests of the bomb designed to inundate coastal cities but the operation, codenamed Project Seal was shelved just months before the atomic bomb was used on Japan in 1945

1:50:24 The secret plans were uncovered during a search by the author and filmmaker Ray Waru. Over a period of several months they carried out almost 4,000 test explosions to kind of calibrate the size of explosions, the number of explosions and the depth in explosion in the water would need to be in order to create a tsunami effect Ray Wadu who uncovered secret tests to develop a tsunami bomb in New Zealand waters. So you can call me whatever you want, but there is proof that the United States tested 4,000 tsunami bombs before they dropped an actual atomic bomb on Japan

1:51:06 So you think for one second that these a-hole oil cabal elitists would put, you put it past them? That they would blow one of these things off to make nuclear energy seem really scary. I question you Jeb. Well you know uh i don't think they have the wherewithal but i mean it would be within well they have the money...I do not know maybe when they do those deep drill those deep holes they got the same gear they can put something down in there and blow it up I don't know. It seems unlikely. I just want to point out... Well, unlike you had earthquakes actually do exist Yeah but this is a very shallow one it was a weird one if there was a weird one But i called it immediately and here's proof that there were tsunami bombs for japan well maybe they put how about this for a concept? No! You can't stop you can't refute it go ahead what's your concept

Dutch Postcode Lottery and Peer Pressure Mechanics

The Dutch "Postcode Loterij" is analyzed as a highly effective gambling system driven by extreme peer pressure. In this model, entire neighborhoods win prizes based on their zip code, meaning those who do not play must watch their neighbors receive large checks. The hosts suggest this "Gitmo Nation" style of lottery could be a solution for the U.S. postal system's financial issues.

1:52:06 They were testing these things and they planted a bunch of them, and that one didn't go off until then. It's like one of those old bombs! They got these bombs in London they find em everywhere. It went off accidentally. There was one left over. Sure sure but what is very interesting is here in the lowlands and I believe it's many countries in Europe but was very interesting to watch. It specifically here they have the big year-end lotteries and this is what everything is centered around, the year end lottery And now we have these state lottery and then they both may have involvement with government The state lottery obviously does but they really pay for most of the entertainment on television

1:52:57 and they have these really big bombastic shows. And it's so interesting, you could even buy a fifth of a ticket. So a full ticket is 30 euros and you can buy half a ticket or quarter of a ticket or a fifth of the ticket then of course you would share with other co-owners of the tickets But the lottery I wanted to discuss with you briefly and have a really really big event on New Year's Day is the postcode lottery known as the, which would translate to the zip code lottery. John I have no idea why this is not going on in America? This is a Curry-Dvorak it has us written all over it we need to start this lottery and let me explain how it works

1:53:42 You play via automatic bank payment, so every single month. I love this part already! Every single month you can choose one lottery ticket or two... as many as you want essentially and the drawing is done on zip code So what happens is, so let's say I'm here in zip code 1017DM and that's an entire street. And so they pull the zip code and then the celebrities who are part of these big television shows it goes on for days the whole wind up for this thing. They didn't come to your home with these huge envelopes

1:54:25 And they say, oh you know you're in the zip code so that means you win. How many tickets do you have? That determines the prize amount and also how many Conyer Punte which is kind of like awesome dude points for that length of time you've been playing and then you get a large cash prize. The entire prize is divided up in the neighborhood so they divide essentially twenty million euros into the amount of winners in the street uh... who zip code was chosen now here's what I love about this Because invariably you see on television, you see these poor people who like win a million euros or two million euros or even 400 thousand euros and then that you look at the other people in the street who have their curtains drawn because they didn't play.

1:55:20 They didn't have any tickets. The peer pressure is outstanding! Go visit this person who's a loser who didn't pay! You can just see people committing suicide, can you imagine being in the street where the big price unbelievable peer pressure Gitmo nation thing I've ever seen and the way these celebrities go around to all these people's homes and they have the big checks, they pull out of the envelopes. It is sad literally! So the whole New Year's consists of slaves

1:56:15 who have won money and now they're heroes. It's great, they are heroes for letting this lottery take money from their bank account every month for God knows how long but because they were smart enough to play they are national heroes and we have Holland's new millionaires! Let's see how the new millionaires are doing it is John why is this not being done in United States? This peer pressure is a great system I'm sure it's being considered we need to be in on it because the amount of Entertainment shows that are put together that are sponsored by this zip code lottery is I mean everything is from how possible to be in on it because In this country illegal lotteries or well, it doesn't matter what they are which is illegal So why should it be legal? It can just it can be a legal lottery. We have Powerball don't we and

Hillary Clinton 38 Minutes and Stargate Theory

A humorous theory links Hillary Clinton's frequent mention of the "38 minutes" duration of the Bin Laden raid to the sci-fi series "Stargate." According to the "Book of Knowledge" (Wikipedia), a Stargate wormhole can only be sustained for a maximum of 38 minutes. The hosts jokingly suggest the Situation Room was actually monitoring a wormhole rather than a military operation.

hillary clinton· osama bin laden· stargate· wormhole· wikipedia

1:57:05 That's a legal lottery based on legislation. Right, so what I'm saying is we need a new lottery based on legislation that works and think about it this could save the postal system. The postal system doesn't need saving just play with me now! Well i'm glad you like this sort of scam. I love it, its awesome let me just sit there watching like ah... So John some very important information reached me and this is a throwback to clips we've been playing throughout the past couple weeks. And a question I had, it was an Ask John question he didn't have an answer for me but we do have an answer now and i appreciate the multiple No Agenda producers who went out did research consulted the book of knowledge so one more time that will play the clip of lucifer hillary clinton and the uh... the picture

1:58:04 Rocked the world with her hand in front of her mouth in the situation room and the key information in this clip This by the way is the hottie from France who was asking the question one more time about Osama bin Laden. Can I show you this picture? You know it, it's in the Situation Room. Yes! I remember that picture. I didn't know it was being taken at the time but I saw later So you are holding your hand in front of your mouth What did you think at that moment were you frightened what did you see? I don't know how to describe it other than it was a very intense period The operation went on for 38 minutes. Okay, that's the key bit there and of course what did I say on this very program? On Thursday, I said one of these days we're going to figure out why this 38 minutes is so important She says it in every single interview 38 minutes 38 minutes well John I have the answer yes go according to the book of knowledge Wikipedia

1:59:09 The Stargate will remain open so long as matter or energy continues to pass through it, to a maximum of 38 minutes. Beyond this point massive amounts of power are needed to sustain a wormhole which ordinary sources cannot provide." Where did you get this? From the book of knowledge from Wikipedia look up Stargate. You mean Wikipedia, you just looked at 38 is that what you looked for? No you look at star gate go look at star gate So wait a minute, you're implying... hold on a second. I'm not implying the book of knowledge tells all truths No no you're implying that they weren't really even looking at the Bin Laden thing? They were watching this Stargate open up Yes or maybe the star gate was there at bin laden but they were really worried because the star gate was going to close and they had to get anything that was going in around through the wormhole they had to get it done within those 38 minutes That's why it was the most intense thirty eight minutes ever

2:00:14 So you're now making the assumption that the movie Stargate is actually a documentary. I'm not making no assumption, all i am doing is consulting the book of knowledge and taking it verbatim for the truth that everyone else takes it for John one thing I know Coincidence? I think NOT! There are no coincidences like that my friend It might have been The Stargate in Libya could've been The Stargate in the Gulf of Aden We're not quite sure. One thing we do know, she was worried that the Stargate was going to close before whatever had to go through it came through it and thats why it was the most intense 38 minutes of her life. Apparently uh... Drusilla, the sister of Caligula only lived to be 38. No I'm not looking at-no this is not how it works! It's a book of knowledge my friend

Texas High School Football Bullying Complaint

A viral story about a Texas high school football game that ended 91-0 led to a formal bullying complaint against the winning Aledo coaching staff. The hosts clarify that despite media reports of a "lawsuit," it was actually a single parent filing an online complaint on the school district's website. They argue the story was amplified to mock Texans and fuel "right-wing" talk radio outrage.

texas· high school football· aledo· bullying· viral news

2:01:10 And here's another thing that is going on, which I still have. You're in Texas so you must've picked up on this because it has got to be all over the news in Texas. Which is this idea that there's some lame football team in Texas, high school. That lost to one of the championship teams because Texas has got a lot of really great high school football teams 91-0 and supposedly some parents sued the coach No no no no no... Do you have a clip where someone says sued?

2:01:47 No. No, I'm telling you this is the meme! They say it all over here and I didn't think I needed a clip that's all they talked about on all the talk shows but there's no way this is a bullshit story! I have the story here Running the ball into the end zone Alitos cats Friday made one touchdown after another winning their game 91 to nothing That's a cremation, is what that is. I wish at some point they could just say okay game over why even finish it? Apparent for the opposing team Fort Worth's Western Hills can more than just a painful loss Alito ISD says he filed an official complaint online against its entire coaching staff for bullying That's what really happened

2:02:34 Five so that got out of control from some guy just bitching online. Yeah, he went on the school website Remember we had those forms and he filled out the form and said the entire coaching staff bullied And then this I'm glad you're in Texas because we could not I dug and dug and dug I could not I knew this was a bullcrap story You know what? This is but it's just to make Texans look stupid Well, I think it has two purposes. It definitely makes Texans look stupid but that's a common thing and you get used to it! I know people in Texas who say when any news happens the news media comes and finds the dumbest toothless guy they can find and asks for his opinion She told me that is all she has ever seen on the news. She's been a lifelong Texas person

High School USA Gun Satire and Marijuana Legalization

Satirical clips from "High School USA" depict a school arming all students with guns for safety. This transitions into a news report on the American Medical Association's stance on marijuana, which remains classified as a dangerous drug. Former Congressman Patrick Kennedy is highlighted for his efforts to fight legalization, citing medical research on the harms of cannabis.

2:03:23 And well anyway, so that I knew this was good. I'm glad that you got to the bottom of it because I was concerned But the other reason for is still all the right-wing talk shows can get all worked up about Bullying is like, you know, this has gotten out of control You know there's terrible and they went on time Yeah moaned and groaned Well, let me throw a shorty at ya do you want to do a blitz or I only have three? I got three Blitz High School USA, our favorite show every Sunday we play a clip. So every teacher's gonna be carrying a gun from now on and it ensures school safety I couldn't be more excited neat But what if the teacher loses his or her temper way ahead of you buddy? Now, obviously we can't leave all you students completely defenseless like sitting ducks. So we've decided we're off

2:04:30 I'm arming all of you too, with guns! This is so cool. I know right? Guns are the coolest. Woah-ho-ho! Alright You heard it here first gang The beholders of cool have spoken! When i call your name come on up and pick out your very own gun! I can't put my finger on it but something doesn't seem to cool about this Brad Ugh...I know This is great. I get to participate in the clip blitz by the way was this the new common core that I heard here The American Medical Association held on to its long-standing position that marijuana is a dangerous drug and a public health concern. But doctors also recognized that federal efforts to stop the use of pot have been ineffective It called on the feds and states to come up with public health strategies to cut the use of cannabis saying programs are better alternatives for helping people quit when compared to giving them jail time

2:05:29 Former Congressman Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Senator Ted Kennedy has now dedicated his life to fighting the legalization of pot. He praised today's decision from the AMA saying it is time people listen to the medical community something he was preaching when he visited Seattle in July to rail against legalization. The message that there is no risk and harm to using marijuana when all the medical evidence and literature, all the scientific research science! proves otherwise. that's right oh crap marijuana gonna kill?

ADHD Diagnosis Spikes and Nut Consumption Study

The CDC reports that one in ten children in the U.S. is now diagnosed with ADHD, a spike attributed to increased awareness and screening. In health news, a 30-year study suggests that eating seven or more servings of nuts per week reduces the risk of death from cancer and heart disease by 20%. The hosts view these reports as potential public relations campaigns for the pharmaceutical and food industries.

adhd· cdc· pharmaceuticals· nuts· cancer· heart disease

2:06:11 dangerous dangerous danger rather give drugs out to people instead of you know that you want to sell more drugs in fact this report is a part of obviously a public relations campaign to get more people on drugs ADHD report oh crap I slipped I knew you were going for it and I slipped I'm sorry I'm slipping. Slipped twice. A blitz, we're getting blitzed! We're getting blocked! It's another agenda! The number of children with ADHD is rising according to new numbers from the CDC more than one in ten children are now diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD cases have been on the increase now for at least 15 years experts think that's because more doctors are looking for ADHD and more parents know about it

2:06:59 Well, many consider them the good guys in the snack machine. A new major study says what you've heard about... What? Oh you're playing the next one right. It's all in one thing. Oh no play that I should have split it off because I did want to bring-I did have a little segway and the next one should be nuts are good which is what you were just about to play That's obviously a public relations move, but I realize that there is some public relations thing going on now because they did it with kale. With great success! Yes... I still need more recipes people But now they're apparently doing it for nuts!

2:07:34 Well, many consider them the good guys in the snack machine. A new major study says what you've heard about nuts is true They are good for you The study followed thousands of people for three decades It found that those who ate seven or more servings of nuts a week were 20% less likely to die from cancer and heart disease Less likely to die. Eat nuts! Honey, I hear eating my nuts is really gonna keep you alive but don't worry because we can always make you a previvor and get you some new boobies and it's almost like the Lord is messing with me because then NPR has some deal with TED which I think ruins both brands quite honestly

CHAPTER 49 / 58 Discussion

Kale Marketing and the TED NPR Collaboration

A collaboration between TED and NPR features Dr. Terry Wahls promoting the nutritional benefits of kale, claiming it has the "most nutrition per calorie of any plant." The hosts mock the "NGO status" of TED and the aggressive marketing of kale. They play a repetitive "You will obey" remix to satirize the perceived programming of the public to consume the leafy green.

kale· ted talks· npr· nutrition· brassica· mitochondria

2:08:20 Ted.npr.org and they have really temp dot npr this is news to me oh yeah no so they have this whole show a whole ted show where they're playing little snippets including dr terry walls i start with greens because they're greens by the way can we stop this is almost as bad as veggies greens you find greens to universally mean the same thing I hate veggies. I like vegetables, but I hate the term veggies. It's creepy. But greens? That's okay. Greens! They got some greens! Yeah, don't like them. It sounds like a pill. Hey you got some greens? Yeah, I've got some greens and blues and reds...

2:09:04 Start with greens because they are rich in B vitamins, vitamins A C K and minerals. And those are two types of kale. Woo! Kale has the most nutrition per calorie The most nutrition per calorie John? That's gotta be... What does that even mean?! I don't know Of any plant. Of any plant I find that hard to believe by the way. So do i but it's on TED, it's an NGO. It's a brassica, there's a cabbage, it's a form of cabbage By the way TED is kind of they have NGO status as well somehow you know what I mean? Not quite sure how they did it because they're very commercial but they have some kind

2:09:44 That's why Ted NPR is beautiful. Two types of kale, kale has the most nutrition per calorie of any plant. The B vitamins will protect your brain cells and your mitochondria vitamins A and C support your immune cells. Vitamin K keeps your blood vessels and bones healthy and minerals are cofactors for hundreds of different enzymes in your body. Why is she shouting? because she's programming you? No, have more kale. Now when I heard that... not eat more kale but HAVE MORE KALE

2:10:21 I felt it was time for this. So, have more kale! Have more kale! Have more kale! You will obey! You will obey! You will obey! You will obey! You will obey! You will obey! You will obey! You will obey! I think that's working well... our Kale campaign. So you went to the couples thing? And then you came back early. And I made this... You felt the obligation to produce a clip! Well, I thought it worked! It's okay. You guys are amazing! This is propagating the BS. There is a TV show called Bones. Yeah, I never watch that. It's about an Asperger's genius who is good at doing deconstructing. He's an A-hole

CHAPTER 50 / 58 Discussion

Television Forensics Tropes and Typeface Databases

The TV show "Bones" is criticized for a scene where a character identifies a specific cookbook by running a typeface through a non-existent "Library of Congress database." The hosts mock the absurdity of television writers inventing forensic technologies, such as identifying a publication date based solely on a font style.

bones· forensics· library of congress· typeface· csi

2:11:20 Who? The Bones. Isn't the bones in a hole or I think it's something else. I'm thinking of a different show. Anyway, no this is really a good story very well constructed but to bring to do that you know they old oh let's see if we can take your pictures take a look outside the lens. See if you can boost the image so they can see. Enhance, enhance! Enhance or my favorite one we had a couple years ago where they got an image of a guy in a window off of a shiny bolt from a tire or something. Enhance zoom in rotate yeah get something out anyway there's all that crap this one here was like the eye roller I have not heard anything this bad Uh, probably for two or three years.

2:12:21 eight different pages. Is there any way to tell which cookbook? Yeah, I ran the typeface through the Library of Congress database and i got the name and the date of publication and a lot of tips on how to cook for prisoners it's the Gordon Institutional Recipe Index 1993 edition. I ran... I ran the typeface! It's zingbats! It's diffwhips I ran the typeface through the Library of Congress database. This database, by the way does not exist obviously because there is no such... What do you mean she ran that typeface and she got the data publication? Give me a break! What kind of idiots do they think the public are?! Say it again say it through the line what kind of idiots do they think the public are!? No, not that one. I mean what she did She ran the typeface to the Library of Congress database

Shannon Burke Radio Interaction and Mainstream Media Critique

A listener named Bill Edlin called into the Shannon Burke show to promote the No Agenda podcast, leading to a dismissive reaction from the host. Burke is heard groaning at the mention of the show and claiming he is "highly degreed" and doesn't need to listen to alternative analysis. The hosts use this to illustrate the arrogance of mainstream media personalities.

shannon burke· bill edlin· c-span· mainstream media· podcasting

2:13:17 Perfect. Nailed it. What a crock! Butter, it was margarine I knew that word was margarine. I ran it through the typeface database perfect. Remember Bill Edlin? Will? Bill William he's one of our producers who called in to the Shannon Burke show and tried to promote us and he stumbled all over his scripts and stuff Yes, we need better actors. Well he's back and he says look I got my script and i'm really trying it but listening to this guy This radio host shows you exactly what is wrong with mainstream programming Like Scott Ledger in Dangerous Conversations I do listen to Scott Ledger in Dangerous Conversations

2:14:10 I also think you need to listen to the No Agenda podcast with Adam Curry and John C. DuBois. Listen to the guy go, ugghhh. He's like... This guy groaned! It gets worse for it. Who is this guy? Shannon Burke in the morning everybody! Number one, CSPAN 4U will analyze new stories of political forces on our website. Oh yeah right, that's a good idea. I should spend some time talking about fucking CSPAN. Hey! No, he's just doing his show! Yeah dude! You know what i'm not talking about him about that one and i want to be the scam of the media ok probably it's really high and the media right outstanding right now uh... no no you're not yourself dot you're very smart and that's what i'm telling her but i think if you really

2:14:54 Listen to the legend and listen to the no agenda podcast that you don't see in these patterns that they talk about. Okay, I need to put you in on some of these stories. You know what? I'm a very well highly educated man, highly degreed and um... I agree. Douchebag! Bullshit! Good job, Bill. I like it when they irritate other hosts that's good Oh that's better yeah That's what Howard Stern made a living at But i can't believe the guy keeps him on you know this is really good he just keeps on irking us He lists his C-span So he has obviously heard the show Of course Thinks we list our c-spans too much and get their scooping Yeah of what an idiot But he's highly educated man doesn't need anything like this Okay well... so uh I got variety weird clips

CHAPTER 52 / 58 Discussion

Jill Abramson and the New York Times Hummer

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson is identified as a "Berkeley Hummer," a term for people who emit a continuous humming sound while speaking to prevent interruptions. The hosts play clips of her slow, rhythmic speech pattern, comparing it to a "Gregorian chant" or a "Buddhist monk," and suggest it reflects the deliberate agenda-setting nature of the paper.

jill abramson· new york times· berkeley· humming· speech patterns

2:15:50 Okay, and one of them I want to they've done this is not doesn't there's no follow-up on this clip It's just something that I found interesting Some years ago my wife actually pointed this out to me And then I kind of developed it actually wrote an article about it about the certain women in Berkeley That she always refers to as hummers is what not? Hummers because they always hum when they speak and they can't and they never stop talking. There's always noise coming from them It goes like this I let me do a hobby a hummer for a second well Adam I've been around oh, that is I know what that is That's women who don't want to be interrupted

2:16:34 So they keep emanating a sound... So I found that the new editor of the New York Times is a hummer. is a slow speaking hummer and I would just slap my head in the... Oh my God, this woman's got to be the worst at a meeting and she runs meetings all day. Just play the clip. Chief among many other things she joined The Times from The Wall Street Journal in 1997 Jill Abramson congratulations on welcome Thank you so much, Jim. First just on the personal level what does it mean to you? To become the executive editor of The New York Times It means the world to me. This is great!

2:17:27 Oh my god. This is no way, wait, this was funny about when she finishes this little little chit chat here he freaks because he's got her obviously on a whole block she's blocked for like the E block or something right so he sees listening to her going like this and he's getting oh my god I'm gonna get nothing from her and i've got her schedule for 10 minutes She's a Berkeley hummer You can hear him panic after she goes through this little humming number right here. I'm here in Manhattan and the New York Times was worshipped in my family and what... Wait a minute, this is unbelievable! I've never heard this in my life John it's like she's on Skype

2:18:12 You know what I mean? When Skype draws out like that. Oh, Micah can you imagine living with this woman? The time said was true was the truth and so... I became an avid reader of the paper as a young school kid and it seems scarcely believable to me that i will hold the top editorial position in the newsroom. Did you ever find yourself longing to be the boss or dreaming about it? He's already freaking here, he is like what am I going to do with her? It wasn't bad his question, it was hilarious! We need her to do a jingle for me. Is this a fulfillment of something that you saw coming sometime? You didn't know when but maybe

2:19:07 That's a great description, Jim. I hoped that it would come but felt like definitely it was maybe. I knew because I worked so closely with Bill as his managing editor I got to see his job up close and how much fulfillment he got from it. And we both, working together, got such a kick out of running the news report that sure on certain days I would think boy it would be nice to have that job but being managing editor for news was a very sweet job itself

2:19:47 How significant. I'm coming... This went on, by the way and on! And uh, I didn't clip the whole thing That's fantastic a Berkeley Hummer This is your New York Times editor in chief that she is the one with this I'm going to do story Hello everybody Hello everybody. So you can thank, I think she's probably a nice enough person for a hummer but she is the one that's calling the shots for all of them essentially setting the agenda this woman is setting the agenda for national news yeah I like it. She's perfect for that

2:20:37 On the, um... topic of chemtrails I am the thank you gym. I am the It's like a Buddhist monk Exactly! She probably is Buddhist. Must be! I'm hello I'm She's doing the Gregorian chant I am running The New York Times I love it Good call! Clip of the day already. Yeah, well... I give that one to you right there off the top. Yeah there goes my book review. Hey you know i went too long... You better take your meds slave! You gotta take them!

CHAPTER 53 / 58 Discussion

Anderson Cooper Psychosis Simulation and IFB Distraction

CNN's Anderson Cooper participated in a simulation of schizophrenia by wearing headphones that played constant whispering voices while he attempted to perform daily tasks. The hosts argue that as a professional news anchor, Cooper is already trained to use an IFB (Interruptible Foldback) earpiece, making his claims of being "distracted" by voices in his head disingenuous.

anderson cooper· cnn· psychosis· schizophrenia· ifb· journalism

2:21:27 Because if you don't take your meds, Anderson Pooper will show you what it's like to live with voices in your head. So I'm gonna put these earphones in and they're gonna try to do a series of tests Okay so now hearing sort of whispers and voices in my head And the first test is some number puzzles You suck! And they know it This is a whole piece Anderson Cooper is going to show what it's like to live with psychosis and he puts headphones on. This is a scientific test. They're talking to him? Yeah, they're saying that he sucks and apparently that's what his voices say you suck! And then he's asked to do some tasks like walk around on the street and do puzzles and fold paper

2:22:15 Well, he's got well. He's yes it and so we get a mix other people walk around listening to music on their iPads all or I you know that funny you say that he brings this up right? Okay So I did this test for three minutes And I did not get a single one it's very hard to It's hard to concentrate when if it's like music or something where's an IFB for God's sake Just listen to it It's very hard to concentrate when, if it is like music or something constant it's easy but people talking to you is very difficult. Shut up! There's an IFB! For people who don't know what an IFB is that is the little earpiece where the producer is literally talking to him while he is talking and counting them down into commercials Right constantly It's a skill, handing questions all kinds of stuff happens He's actually very good at this

2:23:16 Tom Brokaw is another guy. He is lying to the public when he says this is distracting him, he has trained not to be distracted by this sort of thing and he's saying that he's getting nothing right but also I like what they've made up it was like the voice in your head is apparently saying you suck! You're no good! Kill all humans Shut up shut up Talk back to the voices now, but it's her he is really distracting And by the way shut up. It's a common thing that the producers yell in your ear yeah exactly shut up now do not touch that stop

2:23:56 This is a brilliant piece. I could not make it up. Well, it's in the show notes there's link to the video And this is edited believe me But it just it's really hard to it's hard to focus when kind of people are whispering to you and talking to you Be But now he's on the street and there's whispering just come clear with echo Come here for help

2:24:37 Come here, Anderson. Kill Brolf! Kill Brolf! Hey... Do you have yesterday's paper? He asked for yesterday's paper to prove that he is now insane from the voices. Ask for yesterday's paper. Yesterday's New York Times? No? Okay I'll just get today's. It's incredibly distracting on the street to have somebody talking in your head and it makes you feel completely isolated from everyone else around you. You don't want to engage in conversation with other people,

2:25:20 Engage in conversation with a voice in your head. They're constantly How about audio books people must be must go on shooting rampages when they listen to audible that shit should be outlawed talking to you and Everything they're saying relates two things that you're actually doing there criticizing things You're doing it's like every somebody is like give of course watching you Your mother hates you Anderson commenting on what you're doing, and you can't help but I literally find myself wanting to respond to them. You'll always be second rate, Anderson! Wolf makes more money than you! Kind of tell them to be quiet and it's incredibly unpleasant This is a very very unpleasant experiment Eyes down, back up, stand up now

2:26:06 This is crazy. And why does it have to be this kind of Long Island woman, you know? Stand up back up do this now! I'll cut you off! 20 30 40 stand up now! You're okay. It's okay Anderson. Pacify us. And that just went on for hours and hours I did only clip two minutes of it. He's like five minutes of him walking around trying to fold paper Anyway, this is the same messaging we're gonna have to be stuck with this Yeah, I'm afraid so isn't all the rest you know there was something you mentioned in there? I wanted and here is a new a new sleeping drug which I'm dying to try out

CHAPTER 54 / 58 Discussion

Intermezzo Sleep Aid and Side Effect Warnings

A commercial for Intermezzo, a low-dose zolpidem sleep aid designed for middle-of-the-night waking, is analyzed for its extensive list of dangerous side effects. These include fatal allergic reactions, "sleep-driving," hallucinations, and increased suicide risk in depressed patients. The hosts suggest that waking up early should be used for productivity rather than medicated back to sleep.

intermezzo· zolpidem· insomnia· ambien· side effects· sleep aid

2:26:58 Intermezzo? And I think it has some highly desirable side effects. Intermezzo? Like the singing? Yeah, intermezzo! Going to sleep may be easy but when you wake up in the middle of the night it can be frustrating It's hard to turn off and go back to sleep Intermezzo is the first and only prescription sleep aid approved for use as needed in the middle of the night when you can't get back to sleep It's an effective sleep medicine that you don't take before bedtime Take it in bed only when you need it and have at least 4 hours left for sleep. Do not take Intermezzo if you have had an allergic reaction to drugs containing zolpidem, such as Ambien. Allergic reactions such a shortness of breath or swelling of your tongue or throat may occur and may be fatal. You missed! Don't talk over it! Don't talk over it! You're missing the best part! ...of your tongue or throat may occur and maybe fatal... Okay? Ya understand?!

2:27:55 Intermezzo should not be taken if you have taken another sleep medicine at bedtime or in the middle of the night, or drank alcohol that day. Do not drive or operate machinery until at least 4 hours after taking intermezzo and your fully awake Driving, eating or engaging in other activities while not fully awake without remembering the event the next day have been reported. Abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations or confusion. Alcohol or taking other medicines that make you sleepy may increase these risks. In depressed patients worsening of depression including risk of suicide may occur. Intermezzo like most sleep medicines has some risk of dependency. Common side effects are headache nausea and fatigue

2:28:39 So if you suffer from middle of the night insomnia, ask your doctor about Intermezzo and return to sleep again. So this is essentially a pill that works for four hours. And it's intermezzo, it's called that because we're in the middle of the night... so you wake up at 4 in the morning and you go oh my god its four in the morning why am I awake? and I'm wide awake let me go take a pill instead of saying wow I'm up before in the morning I could do some work here. I can be productive! Exactly! Let me do something

2:29:24 By the way, bong hits and bourbon also works. I'm reliably informed and i think that you should try that first The best podcast in the universe in no way endorses intermezzo as a actual aid to be used for sleeping Yeah, take some warm milk will put you out. But even though I do read a boring book when I wake up in the middle of the night, I get up and I do something for an hour or two And then i'm tired again. They'll go back to bed. Everyone should do that You do that? Or don't do that anymore No, I do that That's sounds...that's a logical thing to do if you wake up and your awake In other words, you can't go back to sleep. You should fall asleep within seven minutes

Senate Intelligence Warnings and Failed Terror Predictions

Clips from a 2010 Senate Intelligence Committee hearing show leaders like Leon Panetta and Robert Mueller predicting a "certain" terrorist attack on the U.S. homeland within three to six months. The hosts point out that these definitive warnings of mass destruction failed to materialize, questioning why high-level officials are paid to provide inaccurate, fear-based information.

leon panetta· dianne feinstein· cia· wmd· terrorism· senate hearing

2:30:02 So if you get up and you say, well maybe I should go back to sleep. And then he's still awake just can't... It doesn't happen that often but it does. Then just get out of bed! Yeah do something productive write an essay. Go back to bed. Write an essay. I've done that. You know? I'm sure they got something planned in fact something planned is kind of interesting because it leads into if your not.. If your kinda finished with that thought I have the something planned There's a couple of clips I found in the library that I want to play, and there are two of them. There is one called Mass Destruction if you play that...

2:30:40 Okay, and where's this from? Do you need to set it up or go right into it. This well now the second one I'm going to setup but this one here...this is after remember the Christmas bomber there was a whole bunch of Senate hearings and all the rest of that right after during the month in January of this year which is almost a year ago now we this is the kind of news story that was playing mass destruction is one of them Thank you for being here. Great to be here Let's start with your assessment actually 14 months ago Is there any doubt in your mind, and I'll begin with you Senator Graham but either of you that the threat remains as you assessed it then that within the next four years It is likely or more likely than not That some terrorist somewhere in the world will use a weapon of mass destruction

2:31:27 If anything, the odds that we gave a year ago which was more likely than not have probably gone up in the past 14 months. That is it is higher than just a straight slightly more than 50-50 I love all the numbers! I love 14 months...the odds.. you know is that again by the way and we have to remember that they've redefined now weapons of mass destruction to include just about anything i think it includes my ass. I mean, they had this guy in Oregon, this crazy thing that happened in Oregon weapons of mass destruction. Sawdust, I mean everything's a weapon of mass destruction if something could blow up a cat it's a weapon of mass destruction! Some place on earth a terrorist group would use a weapon of mass destruction. Dude i can predict that hey something's gonna happen it's like what are you okay stop the clip stop the clip okay so let's go just take it to another level then to the second which is the homeland attack clip now and this one died do need this app this was done at the senate

2:32:28 These are our leaders in January, end of January very first part of February almost a year ago. These are our leaders predicting the future not with a bunch of vagaries but these are like the head of CIA Panetta they had at the military intelligence ahead to the Joint Chiefs and that intelligence go-between guy The whole group is being grilled by Dianne Feinstein and they're telling us exactly Definitively, these are our leaders telling us what's going to happen and when it's going to happen. Play it.

2:33:06 What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the US homeland in the next three to six months? High or low. Director Blair An attempted attack, but priority is certain I would say Mr Panetta I would agree with that Mr Mueller Agree General Burgess Yes ma'am, agree Mr Dinger yes Well, why do we have all these guys? They're just all pointing to the one guy. I agree with him Yeah, hey what he said by the way great leaders of our country hinterland What happened yeah well we had the donor attack ah stop no that didn't count it was certain there within six months three two six actually It would definitely we'd have a horrible attack on the country the homeland sir it was totally certain Where is it it was three months ago? It should happen Hey We're disappointed

2:34:01 I'm just wondering who these guys why are we paying these people? I love it when you get pissed off. That's kind of funny No, seriously they're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to give us bad information Why are we paying them to give us bad information don't you understand ship yeah that's our leadership You know you know that was kind of fun sir certain I agree with him yes what he said But I love now how they're bringing the Cosby thing in now. This is gonna be very interesting, because then we have what is that? How does that fit into it? I think everyone should just blow our heads up. Your brain just implodes! Well no, I think it's because Cosby is essentially portrayed as a white privileged black. Yeah good point It just accentuates him because he was... You might as well get him out of the way

CHAPTER 56 / 58 Discussion

Bill Cosby Allegations and Necrophilia Club Theory

The sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby are discussed, with a host proposing a theory that the "drugging" pattern suggests a form of necrophilia. Reference is made to a suppressed biography of Klaus von Bülow that allegedly mentioned a secret necrophilia club in New York. The discussion links this to the Jimmy Savile scandal in the UK, where similar accusations were made regarding hospital morgues.

bill cosby· judy huth· sexual assault· necrophilia· jimmy savile· publishing

2:34:57 Not that he may have done. We've talked about this, Mimi and I talked about this because it was her thesis about you know if you're comic you get- You can get laid no matter what yeah Get laid no matter what so what's the deal? And so it came to mind...I don't want to sound a little gruesome or a little..I'm gonna go a little bit just some people some listeners This may be a little off color but play them first let's play this clip Cosby's latest story Comedian Bill Cosby is facing his first lawsuit resulting from the new wave of allegations over the drugging rape What? Sorry. He's had three lawsuits and he settled out of court. ...and sexual assaults of more than 20 women Plaintiff Judy Huff is suing Cosby for allegedly molesting her 40 years ago when she was 15 years old The suit claims Cosby forced her to perform a sex act on him without her consent Her complaint says the incident has caused quote psychological damage and mental anguish in the decades since It comes one day after

2:35:51 Cosby resigned from the board of trustees of Temple University amidst mounting claims from women who have come forward to accuse him of being a sexual predator. And I'm gonna, before you go off color so to speak It feels to me like this has been planted at this very moment to get this going for the reasons you just said because Cosby is seen as a white privileged guy. All right, over to you. Yeah I sometimes we maybe go overboard with our analysis but i think that's potentially the case. But let's back up and the latest woman, I don't know if it was this one but the one she was on with MSNBC or one of these shows and she was yacking away about the same thing at forced oral sex i guess but then they asked her the question were you drugged

2:36:40 and every drugged in them. And yes, apparently the main thing that was going on... A lot of this oral sex and all this other stuff which seems to be ancillary just throw it in there I'm not even sure any of that is actually true but the drugging seems to be a consistent pattern. Yes. I woke up in the morning he was taking my panties down putting him up we don't know whatever the case you don't wake up these women were bitching at me about There are a group of people in the world that are necrophiliacs, and there was a book... Of all the things. All right now I'm with you yes Jimmy Savile hit me with it

2:37:22 Now, there's a lot of people out there that are necrophiliac. Well Jimmy Savile I don't know if he is a necrophiliac but in fact there was a discussion... Yes! That was one of the main topics that he went to. Nobody talks about this you can look it up and deal with in your own time but whatever the case is nobody likes to talk about this There was a very famous guy who was indicted for almost killing his wife with an overdose something or other, insulin I believe. And there's a biography written this way where this comes from where I got this concept and Mimi agrees with me and the concept comes from this. There was a book that was in New York City Being about to be published went through the lawyers and in the book they accused the guy who was the who kept knocking his wife for a loop. And then I guess having sex with her of being a necrophiliac because it was part of a sex club and there were plenty of sex clubs especially in the seventies and eighties, New York

2:38:15 before AIDS came along, which ended all these sex clubs. There was a number of open sex clubs and there was a necrophiliac club or maybe more than one. I remember you talked about this. The supposed guy who ran it was Tennessee Williams the playwright This was all in this book. I'm writing this down, hold on what is the name of this book? Why did i find out about this because I had one of the editors of one of the big publishing companies who's a friend of mine to this day tell me that this was the big buzz in the publishing community in New York because every publisher knew about this information but it was kind of like the crazy information you get when you're in the news business or if you're in the publishing business that just doesn't make it into the book because the lawyers say no

2:38:57 Well, when I thought about the necrophiliac club which was apparently met every Wednesday once a month or something like that at a mortuary. And then they would have the bodies that they thought were appealing lined up and these guys would go at it and its disgusting thing to talk about but It seems to me that Cosby may be, and if anybody's not going to talk about something because there is something worse to talk about. If you're gonna be like just a rapist that's one thing but if you are gonna be a necrophiliac the potential for really humiliation is extreme and I don't know...I'm just saying that you add two in two and this what it sounds like to me
