Dutch Navy Caribbean Operations, National Geographic Documentary
A documentary filmmaker who worked on a National Geographic series about the Dutch Navy and Coast Guard describes long-standing drug interdiction efforts in the Caribbean. The filmmaker notes that while the Dutch and U.S. have used force against drug boats for decades, such violence was often censored for European television. The process typically involves multiple warnings before marksmen target boat engines or use lethal force.

The hosts also grant "travel karma" to the donor for an upcoming trip to the United States.
Susan Kokinda, Prometheus Action, Anglo-Dutch System
Susan Kokinda of Prometheus Action argues that Donald Trump's primary enemies are the European monarchies and the "Anglo-Dutch system." This theory posits that royal families in the UK and Netherlands control global central banking, environmental movements, and imperial wars. Kokinda claims Trump's policies on Ukraine and the Federal Reserve are direct attacks on this centuries-old oligarchy that has "bled America dry."
Whooping Cough Increase, Ozempic Marketing in Netherlands
Health officials report a spike in whooping cough cases, attributing the rise to a lack of population exposure during pandemic lockdowns. In the Netherlands, Ozempic is reportedly being marketed through rumors that the Dutch princesses are using the drug for weight loss. The hosts discuss the potential for future mRNA treatments for various common ailments.
A discussion of the "Dutch Masters" of No Agenda artwork leads into personal stories about summer jobs. One host recounts working at a rose nursery and stacking 80-pound bags of mahogany firewood in Holland, describing it as "hard labor." They praise the high quality of production and the move away from AI-generated art in recent submissions.
Southwest Airlines, Dutch Roll Incident and NTSB Findings
The NTSB concluded that a "Dutch roll" incident on a Southwest Airlines Boeing aircraft was caused by rudder damage sustained during 84 mph winds in New Orleans, rather than a manufacturing defect. The findings shift the blame from Boeing's production to Southwest's maintenance and storage practices.
No Agenda Art Gallery and Producer Contributions
The hosts celebrate the creative contributions of the "Dutch Masters," artists who provide custom artwork for each episode. They highlight Dame Kenny Bent's "Mummy and the Dummy" train art and discuss the community dynamics within the No Agenda Art Generator.
Adam Curry explains the origin of two Dutch phrases: "the bullet has been shot through the church" (referencing a 1573 Spanish siege) and "stront aan de knikker" (poop on the marble). The latter phrase, dating to the 1700s, is used to indicate that something bad is about to happen.
Sir Paul Couture is thanked for maintaining the No Agenda Art Generator for over a decade. The hosts review recent submissions, including "Friend Assuring" by Corrector Record, which won the art spot for episode 1664. They trace the history of the art generator back to 2012, noting the evolution from early digital art to modern AI-generated "chickens" and political satire.
The hosts read a long list of producers who contributed between $50 and $200. John Dvorak mentions his recent trip to a meetup in Albany and identifies a "spook" in attendance. Several donors from Texas, Tennessee, and the Netherlands are credited, and the hosts perform "de-douching" rituals for first-time or returning supporters.
Netherlands Coalition Government, Geert Wilders and Dick Schoof
After eight months of negotiations, Geert Wilders' coalition in the Netherlands has selected Dick Schoof, the former head of Dutch intelligence (AIVD), as the new Prime Minister. Schoof has a long history in the Justice Department and was involved in overseeing controversial cases like the Demmink affair. The selection of a career intelligence official to lead a populist-won government has surprised many Dutch citizens who expected a more radical change in leadership.
The term "spaving"—spending more to save more—was highlighted as a new consumer trend. The hosts then transitioned to thanking a long list of "Associate Executive Producers" who contributed $50 or more to the show. Notable mentions included the Sydney meetup group, several Dutch producers using the "8008" donation amount, and various listeners requesting "jobs karma" and birthday shout-outs.
Dutch New Year Traditions, Oliebollen and Seasonal Greetings
Dutch New Year traditions include the consumption of oliebollen, or "oil balls," which are deep-fried dough balls. Specific Dutch greetings for the holiday include "Prettige jaarwisseling," meaning happy year change, and "Zalig uiteinde," which translates to a lovely ending.
The show concludes with a montage of "triple-demic" news reports concerning the simultaneous spread of RSV, flu, and COVID-19. An anecdote is shared regarding the unique design of traditional Dutch "shelf" toilets found in older bed and breakfasts. The episode ends with a musical mix featuring Judge Jeanine Pirro and parodies of social media addiction.
Man on the Street, Stupidity and the "Inca-Pinque" Trick
A "man on the street" segment featuring a woman insisting that someone born 10 years ago would be 11 years old sparked a discussion on public ignorance. One host recounted a traumatic childhood experience in the Dutch school system where a teacher used a rhythmic reading trick ("Inca-Pinque") to humiliate him. The hosts debated whether these segments highlight genuine stupidity or are merely the result of manipulative trick questions.
Farmers in the Netherlands are engaging in massive protests against government mandates intended to limit carbon and nitrogen emissions. Protesters have used farm equipment to spray manure on government buildings and block major highways. Analysts suggest these "net zero" policies threaten the viability of small-scale agriculture and could lead to food shortages and high inflation, with similar movements expected in Belgium and Germany.
Dutch Farmer Protests, Nitrogen Limits, Tube Top Tangent
Dutch farmers are staging massive protests against government mandates to cut nitrogen emissions, which could force 50% of farms to close. Farmers have used tractors to block police stations and highways, leading to confrontations in The Hague. The hosts transition into a tangent about 1970s fashion, specifically the potential return of "tube tops" as an exit strategy from modern cultural tensions.
