Time Text
The recording.
There we go.
So, recording has started.
For those of you listening to the podcast, this is another show done with minimal resources.
So, we cannot edit after the fact.
What you hear is what you get.
And remember, if you see something, say something.
I got a nice note from a guy.
He said, oh, I love it when you play the...
The unedited, although we never edit, but...
He's from the Opera Now podcast.
He was totally getting off on the fat bitch.
Just goes to show we please all sorts here.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Hee ha ha.
Hee ha ha ha.
Well, I guess that's my cue.
Okay.
Hit it.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, November 13, 2011.
Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 356.
This is no agenda.
Rolling eastwards towards Camp Mofo, coming to you today from the land of enchantment, the great state of New Mexico.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I stay, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
Yep, you're a leave-behind, a takeaway, a folder, a brochure, left in California.
Help me!
Yeah, we're in New Mexico.
You're heading out.
Yeah.
You're out of town.
You're out of the state of California.
Yes, we are completely gondola goo.
And let me tell you, John, it took a little bit longer than we expected to leave.
So basically you're still in Palm Springs.
Actually, that's what we wound up doing.
We wanted to leave right after the show, and it's just like, wow.
Even the guys were like the movers.
I don't understand.
I counted 237 boxes, but now you have like 342 boxes.
Like, you counted wrong then the first time.
And so we didn't actually leave the house until like 5.30 or something.
And of course, 5.30 in Southern California, it took us two hours just to get to Riverside.
It was horrible.
The traffic was totally crap.
So we decided to drive to Palm Springs.
That was the first night.
At...
The Riviera Hotel and Spa Resort, which was hilarious.
A bunch of old guys trying to hit on the only three women there.
Hey, honey.
I'm telling you.
And they were all hammered.
Hey, do you want to see a snake tattoo from World War II? I want to see my snake.
So then we got up next morning.
We drove, we drove, we drove.
We drove to right by Mesa, Arizona.
What is that there just south of Mesa?
Tucson?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's...
I can't remember now.
You went the southern route?
Yeah, because we were so late.
Now we really got to start boogieing.
We got to start rolling.
Why, you don't have to be there until Tuesday.
Yeah, I know, but remember, we had this little thing that we do called, what is it, oh yeah, a show?
Which means, you know, Mickey, the only thing she had produced in advance was this hotel, right near White Sands, New Mexico.
You found a place...
Well, she called and she said, hey, look, you know, we need great Wi-Fi, and they made sure we had a room right near the Wi-Fi transmitter, you know, because, of course, I brought the whole mobile studio.
So I set it up last night.
I got six megabits up, six megabits down.
I'm like, this is awesome.
Then, of course, I realized that I had neglected to bring along my USB hub.
Don't you hate it when that happens and you look at your computer and you go like, I have three cords that need to go in.
I only have two holes.
This is not good.
So then, you know, last night at like 9 o'clock, I'm running around trying to find a Best Buy or a Radio Shack, finally find one, get the hub.
By the time all is said and done, I'm totally ripped.
I'm so tired.
And then there's a little time change.
Oh, and yesterday, by the way, our first border control, about 150 miles from the border, I'm sorry, what?
Yeah.
So you know what white sands are?
The white sands in New Mexico?
You've heard of them?
They're white sands.
Yeah, it's white sand, essentially.
And Mickey really wanted to see it to take pictures, and they have this four o'clock sunset stroll.
And they have a ranger who takes you, one of those lesbian RV volunteers.
Ha!
Who are great, by the way.
And so we like, you know, going down route, and of course everyone here in this town, the closest town nearby, says, oh, it's about 45 minutes.
Yeah, well, it's about an hour and a half.
Everyone says that all the time.
Yeah, it's an hour and a half.
I'm doing 95 on...
On Route 70.
And then all of a sudden there's like, you know, whoop, whoop, slow down, like the road closes, and there's a Border Patrol checkpoint with cameras.
I mean, not just a couple cameras, John.
I'm talking biometrics, license plate, facial recognition, infrared, the whole thing.
And we're like, oh, we're totally going to miss this tour.
And I'm like, okay, I'm just going to stay really, really calm.
If it had been any other circumstance, I would have made a big deal about it.
And what they do is they, you know, you roll down your window and they say, can I ask you what nationality you are?
Now, of course, I don't have to answer that question.
Si, senor, you can ask me what you want.
Of course I don't have to answer that question at all.
Of course not.
Right, but, you know.
Did you tell them to screw off?
If, as I said, if it were different circumstances, I would have said, what are you?
So, you know, I'm like...
So am I! Yeah!
But what are you?
Yeah, but...
What's it to you?
It's real...
And it's 150 miles from the border, and it's Border Patrol.
What nationality are you?
So, of course, I immediately throw Mickey under the bus.
She's Dutch!
She's Dutch!
She's not American!
He's like...
And he's like...
Can I see your papers, please?
And Mickey...
Mickey is so, she's so obedient.
She's like, here!
Here!
Here!
I have!
I have!
And they're like, hmm.
Oh, status.
Hmm.
Mickey says, yes, I'm an actor.
And the guy literally goes, oh.
It's like such a douchebag.
Oh, you and my sister.
Oh.
It was, again, under any other circumstances, I would have said, no.
Or I just said, who cares?
I don't feel like telling you what I am.
They don't have the right to ask that.
And then, of course, you get into the whole, you know, am I being detained?
Am I free to go?
Am I free to go?
That's the way you're supposed to handle it.
But it was total, like, wow.
Let me see your papers!
And Mickey was freaking out.
It was kind of cute.
She's like, where is your extension?
It's in there!
We can't find it.
Why don't you park over in slot number two while we check?
Horrible.
Gitmo Nation, man.
Anyway, in the morning to you, John, from the Land of Enchantment.
In the morning to you, in the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet washing up on shore, and boots in the air.
And of course, all of our human resources in the chat room at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
Coming to you today, actually from a 3G connection, because of course this morning the 6 megabit up, 6 megabit down had become like 60 kilobits.
And so I'm literally on the tethered iPhone now.
That sucks.
Yeah, of course it sucks.
But what are you going to do?
Like jump up and down and ask the IT expert to go fix it?
No.
And I have to say, all things considered, I think I'll just knock on some wood.
Sounding pretty good on the 3G so far.
Yeah, it does sound good so far.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I'm sure that you've done a lot more work than I have, but I've been following a couple things in particular.
The most interesting, of course, is...
Berlusconi, if we look at Euroland, which is now the official title, Berlusconi resigned as Prime Minister, and of course, all the slaves are all happy, and they're playing Bella Ciao.
You know Bella Ciao?
Probably.
Yeah, Bella Ciao is this song.
It's like their Partisano song.
La mattina That they sang in 1943.
You know the song, right?
Still one they sang when they strung up Mussolini by his feet.
Exactly.
And so it's completely inappropriate.
Here's 40 seconds of the BBC just to leave.
So you're seeing, like, hot-looking Italian chicks, by the way, on the street, drinking, everyone's honking their horn, hanging out the windows of their Fiat 500s, like, yay!
Yay!
And the technocratic government will get some support, but people will also be a bit skeptical about seeing some familiar faces possibly in Italy's next government.
Yes, as you say there, Silvia Berlusconi is gone, but the country's financial crisis remains.
What happens next for Italy?
Well, we're now in a situation where Mario Monti is going to need a government of natural unity, similar in some way to what's going on in Greece.
And European allies will be very, you know, pleased about that development.
They'll be much more reassured.
And I think the markets will probably give some indication of that over the next few days.
Okay, a couple of key points in here.
First of all, the general consensus is...
That there will not be an election right off the bat.
That they will put the technocrat Mario Monty in as Prime Minister.
Now, Mario Monty's nickname is Super Mario.
And there's a reason for that.
He can do the full Monty.
No, he can bounce off of mushrooms and do all kinds of cool stuff.
But first of all...
Yeah, I bombed.
That was yours over your...
My joke was over your head.
What's the idea...
No, I got you.
I got the full Monty.
So the next piece of information is this whole technocrat thing.
And this is what happened in Greece.
And I looked up the definition of technocrat.
And it is an expert in some technology, especially one in a managerial or administrative role.
I believe this is kind of what the United States of Europe and Euroland want, right?
They just want professional guys who are schooled in, I guess, economics or maybe in political science.
They just want them to run the show and do whatever they ask them to do.
Which reminds me to mention to the book club, the Nojinda Book Club, To put on the book club The Technological Society by the French sociologist Jacques Elluel who had predicted this would be the trend in Europe and I think this book was written in the 1960s.
Oh really?
Oh good.
I'll put that in the show notes.
That's cool.
I like that.
Anyway, so a very quick consultation of the Book of Knowledge, and it appears that just like in Gitmo Nation Falafel, Gitmo Nation Pasta is now part of the global banker takeover.
Please pay attention to my friend Super Mario Monti, who completed his graduate studies at Yale University.
Of course, home to Skull and Bones.
And then he did a couple things at University of Turin, and let's see, he is the first chairman of Bruegel, a European think tank, and he's the European chairman of the Trilateral Commission!
Yeah!
Oh!
Oh boy!
He's also a leading member of the Bilderberg Group!
Yeah!
And to top it all off...
He's an international advisor to Goldman Sachs and the Coca-Cola Group.
This is the guy you want running your country?
Yeah, if you want to run up the price of Coca-Cola stock.
But seriously, the bankers are moving in.
They're moving in anywhere.
This is a brilliant move.
Well, we're all looking at austerity measures.
What does that mean?
The bankers are moving in.
And this, by the way, this Goldman Sachs thing is not coincidental.
You know, Endemol.
Endemol, who of course produces Big Brother, which is in, I don't know, 8 million countries worldwide, and The Voice, and there's a couple other shows.
Do you know that that was purchased, or actually repurchased, partially by Joel Endemol, who started the company, by his investment firm, Cert, Along with Mediaset, Berlusconi's company, and, there it is, Goldman Sachs.
Now what happened four days ago, when it looked like Silvio was going to have to resign, which of course is now fact, his Mediaset stock tanked so badly they had to halt trading.
Now the problem is that Endemol...
They purchased it for $2.3 billion in a leveraged buyout and bought it from Telefonica.
And the thing is bankrupt because they couldn't create another big brother.
Like, duh.
That's a once-in-a-lifetime.
So I guess they expected to do, like, three or four of those a year or something like that.
And so they're trying to restructure their debt Which, of course, is owed to banks.
Time Warner came along two days ago, said, eh, we'll give you a billion for the whole thing.
And I think there's no coincidence that we've got a Goldman Sachs inside, because the only reason Berlusconi's media set stock was so high or doing so well is because he controlled everything.
He could just say, I'll just put my own shows on state television.
Who gives a crap?
I'm the ruler here.
Well, you know, all you're doing is reminding everyone that there was an obvious short opportunity.
That we missed.
That we missed by a mile.
I'm sorry.
Well, I was traveling.
Alright, anyway, here's the austerity measures that are put in place.
Human Resources of Gitmo Nation Pasta, congratulations.
Your value-added tax now goes from 20% to 21%.
And although this, of course, is played in the media as, oh, it's just a little 1% rise, of course, it's actually a 5% rise in the cost of everything.
And this is the stuff that I love looking at.
Because you go from 20% to 21%, people are like, eh, it's just 1%.
But one whole percentage point of 20%, unless my math is off, John, is 5%.
Sounds more like 2% to me.
Is it 2%?
Well, 1% of...
If it was 2%, it would be 10%, wouldn't it?
Actually, 1% of 20% is 0.2%, actually.
No, no, no, no.
Not 1% of...
It's not 5%.
Listen, it goes from 20% to 21%.
Yeah.
Okay?
Let's just do it in half.
If the VAT was 10%, then it would go up to 10.5%, which would be a half percent.
No, I see what you're saying.
You're saying that one point is 5% of 20%.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, well that's true, but that doesn't mean that the overall is 5%, I don't think.
No, but that means that the total increase of tax that you're paying on all goods is a 5% increase over what it was.
Does that not make any sense?
No.
It doesn't make any sense at all.
Yeah, I think it does.
I think it's...
The increase is 5%.
The increase of the tax.
Yeah, the increase of the tax.
But not the overall increase.
No, but that means...
So if I'm buying something for $100 and now I'm paying 20% VAT, that means I'm paying $20.
Now if I'm buying something for $100 and I'm paying $21...
That is not a 5% increase over $20.
I mean, a 5% increase is more than a dollar.
It's a 5% increase overall.
No, it's a 5% increase of the tax itself.
Yes, of the tax itself.
Correct.
Yeah, but it's not a 5% increase in what you're paying out.
No, I understand that.
Well, then it's not that big of a deal.
It's only a dollar.
Oh, yeah.
Let's go to $100,000 then.
How much is it then?
Well, it's a little more.
Okay.
Alright.
It's a 5% increase in tax, is what it is.
There will be an increase in fuel prices.
Hey!
Sales of state property.
Ha ha!
A freeze on public sector salaries until 2014, which is probably a good thing.
Here's the one that's interesting.
The retirement age for women in the private sector will gradually rise from 60 to 65, which will be on par for men.
I didn't know that women got a break in Italy.
I guess for some reason they could retire.
And then there's two zingers.
I'm looking at the spreadsheet.
Oh, is it in?
Hello?
Hello?
Well, JC came barreling in to say VATS are...
The problem with VATS is not just the one point.
It's just that everything that gets changed...
Yeah, JC, who was a very smart kid...
Wholesale, retail...
Yes, everything.
Everything between up and down the chain, which is pretty elaborate in countries like Italy, is another...
21 points.
And he's a very smart kid, Buzzkill Jr.
Yeah, bats are bad.
I'll agree with that.
And making it bigger doesn't help.
Why is he making it 100%?
That would take care of the problem.
Well, they're on their way.
Check this out.
There will be a special tax on the energy sector.
Well, guess who's going to be paying for that?
That's an easy one.
I think we'll just pass this on.
And now, here's the one that's really scary.
Measures to fight tax evasion will be strengthened, including a limit of €2,500 on cash transactions.
No more cash for you!
How about that, huh?
Well, everyone's going to head that way, you watch.
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
Of course, we're going to get that here, too.
We're going to get our austerity measures.
There's a number of news stories recently about how some recycling companies and used clothing places won't be able to take cash anymore.
Yeah, discussed on this very show.
It's law in, was it Indiana?
I think it was Indiana.
I don't know.
I don't know where.
I can't remember where it was, but it was ridiculous.
Yeah, we talked about it on the show.
No, cash is king.
People are going to have to deal with that.
Yeah, so there'll be a limit.
You can't even be walking around with more than €2,500.
You can't be walking around with more than 2,500 euros?
Well, of course.
If you get stopped, they'll be like, hey, what are you going to do with that?
You know, that's been going on in this country.
You know, they've been pulling people over, and if they see they have a bunch of cash with them, they confiscate the cash.
Yeah.
This is a huge scandal in the United States.
It's actually been discussed on some of the news shows, and it's just, well, yeah, so what?
Whatever.
Credit cards are easier.
So we're actually, when we were at that border crossing, it was kind of frightening.
In the back, I have my, we have like...
It wasn't a border crossing.
The border control.
Yeah.
It says U.S. Border Patrol.
Your Department of Homeland Security at work.
We have five boxes of booze, which the shipping company wouldn't take.
Right.
And we have my pepper plants in the back.
I'm sure there's some rule that you can't be driving around with plants.
I'm sure there's some...
Into California, it's more of a problem than out of California.
By the way, we stopped at a couple gas stations on the way, obviously.
And I see nothing but, you know, cars loaded down with families, like, you know, with Grandma on the rocking chair on the top, like the Beverly Hillbillies.
Everyone's, like, getting out of California.
Literally, just, you know, and you talk to them.
It's just the opposite of the 30s.
And you talk to them on, you know, while you're there filling up.
And like, yeah, I'm tired of being poor.
I'm leaving California.
Oh, wow.
It's really bad.
Huh.
Anyway, so Gitmo Nation, Pasta, congratulations.
You're all celebrating, you're all drinking, but the real shit is about to hit the fan, and they have no idea.
So it'll be a very short-lived celebration, I'm sure, when you see that your cost of living has just gone up 5% overall, and then we get special taxes on energy sector, and gasoline prices are going up, and don't walk around with any cash.
This is really horrible.
And it's not going to make any difference.
Euroland is coming down, baby.
Max Kaiser did a fantastic report in Greece.
It's in the show notes.
What is it?
356.nashownotes.com It's like 14-15 minutes.
And he's talking to all these guys who have the actual documents of the Troika, the IMF, the European Central Bank, and the European Starfleet Command Commission.
And apparently...
They got this money from primarily the IMF. They are not allowed to get money from anywhere else.
That's one of the stipulations.
So they can't go to China and say, hey, could you hook us up?
So now they have to continue to borrow from the IMF. And every single piece of Greece, every single asset is collateral, including the people.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
They're essentially enslaved.
And Kaiser deconstructs it with the credit default swaps that Goldman Sachs hid in order to get Greece to join the Euroland Union.
It was essentially a setup.
They were completely set up.
And you watch.
You want a piece of the Parthenon?
I think it's on sale.
I could go for the lower third.
We should put a Starbucks in there.
It would look good.
So we do have a lot of people to thank and I want to get the executive producers out of the way before we get too far into the show because we have a lot of people to thank so our middle segment is going to be a little long and If you don't mind.
No, no.
People on the podcast actually enjoy it because they like to do the donations at double speed.
And it's still actually funnier at double speed.
So, what do we do here?
Oh, this of course is post 11-11.
Everyone was dipping into the karma pool.
Oh, of course.
Oh, right.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
Excellent.
So let's thank our...
We have one, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four, five, yeah.
Executive producers and three knights.
Actually, one of them is Baron Von Pelsmarkers donating for the third...
Free knighthood.
We're still working on how to give this away.
Nobody actually hit the 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11 seconds or whatever it was.
I've come up with this idea because we can't throw a dart at the board with everybody's name on it.
Because then it becomes a game of chance.
And then we're liable.
Then it's an illegal lottery.
Right.
So we're going to make it a...
I would like people who want to get one of the three knighthoods that the Baron will be giving to our listeners.
And I know this is going to be a little more work I don't want to do, but I'm going to do it anyway.
To send a...
25 words or less...
If you donated the 1111 or 1111 or anything that you can extract that from or you want to get the knighthood, if you can send a 25 word or less letter to noagenda at dvorak.org email with the...
No, it's Dvorak...
What is it?
Noagenda...
Give it the email address.
I just did.
Noagenda at Dvorak.org.
You said at Dvorak.org.
It doesn't matter.
Noagenda at Dvorak.org.
Okay.
We got it.
So, noagenda at Dvorak.org.
Send a 25 word or less essay.
Use the subject line...
It's like a tweet.
25 words is not an essay.
Well, it's more than 20.
It could be more than 140 characters.
I think it should be a tweet.
25 words is a tweet.
That's not...
Send a good tweet, 25 words or less, to noagendadvorak.org.
Use the subject line CONTEST. If CONTEST in caps is not in the subject line, it will not be counted.
So you'll end up, you know, I don't know where it's going to end up.
So let's thank our executive producers.
And we'll mention this contest again.
We'll give it a week or two.
Stephen Pelsmacher, Baron von Pelsmacher in Belgium.
In the morning, John Nadam.
This makes knighthood number three in the 11-11-11 sweepstakes.
We would be in the poor house without you.
Thank you.
Exactly.
Sir Stephen van der Havre.
Van der Havre.
I'm thinking he's Dutch.
Says Sir Stephen.
Yeah.
Bel Havre in North Carolina.
Says, in the morning, please give karma to my boss Mike as he injured his arm on the job.
Okay, hold on.
You've got karma.
And D-Douche Sean Lambert for providing the domain names VeritableTreasureTrove.com.
You've been D-Douche.
I'm sure that forwards to NoAgendaShow.com.
And so that, along with Baron von Felsmacher's donation was 11,000...
11,000...
1111.11.
So is Sir Stevens.
$1,111.11.
Awesome.
And finally, Sir Gizemann, another one of our knights.
Zachary Gizemann, Sir.
Moses Lake, Washington.
It's really noticeable that the Knights are checking in.
That is so beautiful.
Now, of course, everyone's in for the Super 1111 Karma, so it's good all around, but it's so nice to see the Noagenda Knights step up to the round table and help us out.
The Noagenda Nights are the best.
Black Knight Eridudurian donated three, five, six.
He's one of the shows for the show.
Here's proof that Noagenda Karma works.
Listen to this story.
About two months ago, I asked for karma for my wife, Lena, who lost her job after 17 years.
About three weeks after that, a former colleague contacted her about a possible job.
I'm happy to report that she just made an offer for a better job than the one she lost.
Right on.
No agenda karma is so good that the job found her.
Yeah!
Now you're talking.
So now my oldest daughter, Stephanie, wants in on the action.
Can you please send her some karma so that she does well this quarter at UC Riverside, which you just drove through?
Yep.
You've got karma.
There you go.
You know, you do actually have to do your homework.
Karma doesn't magically...
Wait a minute.
She's going to UC Riverside, so that's not necessarily true.
Oh, man.
Whoa!
Oh, beautiful.
So, a member of the 356 Club for Sir Erededarian.
Great.
Black Knight.
Matt Danley from Parts Unknown is another executive producer, 356, another member of the 356 Club.
In the morning, John and Adam, first-time donor here.
I'm a first-year medical student just trying to get by.
But the thought of losing your show, the best podcast in the universe, is simply depressing.
So I had to scrape up some spare casts to send you guys to keep you on the air.
In a related note, you would think that a young medical student today would be somewhat skeptical of vaccines and vaccine makers.
It's outright scary to see how indoctrinated young individuals has become to the infallible safety of those inoculations, especially since these future doctors have no incentive to become better educated since there's no liability on their shoulders for improper use of vaccines.
I will do my best to stop propagating that formula.
Have a safe trip, Adam and Mickey.
Congrats on becoming Texans.
It's 11-11 since I send this and give a big in the morning to all the veterans out there.
That's right.
Yeah, I feel really bad that on Thursday it completely slipped my mind to wish all the vets a happy Veterans Day for Friday.
Right, Friday was Veterans Day.
And I do have a couple clips I want to play before we get off this segment.
Or actually, we can play in the halfway.
Well, can we just tell everyone where they can go if they want to help support the show?
Wait.
Yeah, we'll play them.
I got two more associate executive producers.
All right.
Well, you want to do the clips in between?
That's cool.
Well, nah.
Henry Reese, also parts unknown to 1111, and then Brian Watson, Sir Brian Watson, one of our knights from Raleigh, North Carolina, needs seven days of karma.
Give him a karma shout-out.
You've got karma.
Now, the, uh...
I would give, uh...
I would give out a, uh...
This goes to the second half.
I'm sorry, I got a letter from CKP Creative that we finally found.
Um...
There was a lot of interesting things that took place.
I do have some clips about 11-11 Day.
There's two of them in the clip pile.
Can we just complete the segment?
Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I'm so discombobulated today, but I think it's because you're leaving the state of California and it's changing the flux.
Yeah, okay.
I'm out of...
I'm fluxed up.
Oh, boy.
Give you one for that.
All right.
Of course, everyone is cashing in on the big 111111 karma, which is great.
By the way, the square root of 11111111 at 1111 a.m.
is 1234567890987654321.2 Wow!
Yeah.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
So, I actually took a moment at 11-11-11.
Of course, it was my local time, whatever it was, when we were on the road.
And just enjoyed the flow of it.
So, it was a very magical moment.
Everyone's cashing in.
Which, of course, means donations will suck for the next couple of weeks.
So, please remember your happy podcasters here.

It is so appreciated what you do.
Thank you so much.
I know you're doing it for karma.
The Baron is doing it just to secure land rights, I'm sure.
And his weapons trade.
But we really appreciate it.
It's a beautiful thing.
And there was just one quick PR mention I wanted to make.
Chris Holman checked in and registered SorryOops.com in light of Douchebag Perry.
Which I liked.
Yeah, that's cute.
And of course, there is something everyone can do even if you didn't have any cash on hand to help yourself out to some 111111 karma.
You can always go out and propagate the formula, which is extremely simple.
Here it comes.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Real.
Water.
Water.
Shut up.
Stay.
All right.

And you can click on the donation buttons in any of all these places.
And I would like to point out that your donation actually does keep the show literally on the road as we are moving eastwards towards Austin, Texas.
And, well, here we are.
I slept only four hours last night.
Still, we're on the air.
We're doing it on the 3G.
We'll do anything it takes to bring you your biweekly dose of the good stuff.
So I'm looking at the map here of Arizona.
I see where you are.
No, I'm in New Mexico.
Yeah, I'm looking at the map here of New Mexico.
And I see where you are.
You're just outside of Las Cruces.
That's exactly where we are.
Do you know what the white sands are made of, by the way?
Sand?
No!
Gypsum!
They're made out of glycerin.
Gypsum.
Yeah, originally glycerin, you're right.
Gypsum.
That's it.
Gypsum.
Yeah.
It's the largest pure gypsum dune in the world.
It's pretty amazing.
And it has like those desert waves in it because of the wind that goes over it.
And it's like snow.
Do they have dune buggy rides?
I think there's an issue with that.
No.
But there were kids on like sleds.
You can sled on this sand.
It looks like snow, yes.
I'm looking at pictures of it now.
It's beautiful.
White Sands National Monument.
It's one of the natural wonders of the planet.
275 square miles of gypsum.
That's right.
If you need some gypsum, bring a bucket.
You put it that way, it doesn't sound all that exciting.
270 square miles of pure gypsum.
The road that goes through it, it looks like you're going through snow.
Yeah.
It's exactly like snow.
It's a mind mesh.
It's really cool.
Where's that gypsum come from?
How does this happen?
We have all these crazy sights in the United States.
How do you get 275 square miles of gypsum there?
How many trucks did it take to deliver it?
I'll tell you.
So unfortunately, we were about 20 minutes late for the sunset stroll, so we missed that part of the explanation.
Wait a minute, how could you be 20 minutes late?
You were all timed out.
We were at the Border Patrol.
Oh, those...
Yeah, those boneheads, they delayed us.
So we had to run to catch up.
And it was funny because Ranger Eileen, she's like, alright, does anyone know how these...
She was talking about the dune footprints.
It looks like, if you were to look from above, it looks like there's big footprints in the dunes.
And she's like, alright, does anybody know how these were created?
And someone says, wind.
And she says, yeah, that's part of it.
Anyone else know?
And I go, aliens!
Did you get a big laugh for that?
Yeah, I did.
And she said, you're on the wrong tour.
You need to keep driving to Roswell.
Roswell's just up the road.
It is, yeah.
Unfortunately, we're not able to go that way, because now we're so behind, we've got to head down, continue down south.
So there's two nights, a night and a dame that we wanted to visit, but they're up near Albuquerque.
And it would just take hours to get up there and back.
They're in Clovis.
Yeah, well, if you look at the map, it's east of Albuquerque.
It's east of Albuquerque.
Yeah, but it's not near Albuquerque.
It's also east of LA. It's not near LA. It's west of New York.
I can't go there.
No, but it's the same height.
Look how far up we'd have to go.
Yeah, but it would take you right through Roswell.
I can't believe you're not going through Roswell.
Do you want a show on Thursday?
I'm just asking.
I just don't see, I just, from my own perspective, how you, who bring this issue up every time, every other show, usually the second half of the show, hopefully, can not go to Roswell and feel the vibe.
I'd love to, but I would prefer to see our nights over Roswell, but I can't do it.
Now we're on a timetable.
From Las Cruces to Austin?
Yeah, that's probably another 10 hours.
You could make it there tonight.
No, dude.
Look, by the time the show is over, dude, it'll be 1 o'clock here, because we have an hour ahead of you.
What, we're going to drive until 11?
You've got two drivers.
The distance between Las Cruces and Austin is 549 miles.
Yeah, in a straight line, but you have to go down and then take the 290.
It's another 10 hours.
All right.
By the way...
You're not going to go down to Juarez and insult the Mexican gangs?
Hey, John.
Two words.
Blow me.
How about this?
I'm looking at the map.
You're going to go to Carlsbad.
And go to Carlsbad Caverns.
The Range Rover, by the way.
I have to take it back.
What a cruiser.
What a cruiser.
It's awesome.
I mean, knock on wood, I don't want to invite the boogeyman in.
Wow.
Really?
Yeah, oh, it's beautiful.
What?
I was doing like a 95-100 going to the White Sands, and it was like we were doing 50.
It just felt beautiful.
That's a cruiser.
It's great.
Well, that's with the new suspension.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I'm driving these things.
Get those things and put the new suspension in.
Yep.
All right, play some clips because I can barely talk.
I'm so tired.
I didn't get any clips for this show.
Please, you jest.
So let's see.
I got too many clips.
I got a lot of clips.
Oh, by the way, there's one good...
Let's get these 11-11 clips out of the way.
I did have one.
I didn't put it on here, but Jim Rome, the sports guy, did a whole show on 11-11, and he counted down right to 11-11, 11-11, and it was actually quite amusing, and maybe I'll play it in the future, but I won't play it today.
But this is interesting.
Play the baby boom.
There's a baby boom that took place on 11-11 at the local hospitals.
Oh, wait.
Stop.
Why do you think that is?
Because people had sex?
Play the clip.
We're hoping the day would bring them luck and it would be an easy anniversary to remember.
The chap will say the number of weddings came close to 777, but did not pass it.
Well, here in the Bay Area, people were celebrating new additions to their family on this new miracle day.
Doctors at Ulta Bates Hospital weren't surprised about yesterday's baby boom, especially because nine months ago was Valentine's Day.
Okay.
Hey-o!
Yeah.
All right.
That makes sense.
Yeah, it makes nothing but sense.
It's in our culture is we have sex once a year on Valentine's Day.
That's what we do.
You get a baby boomer.
11-11-11.
That's what we do.
All right.
There's another one if you want to play the other 11-11-11 story.
But the parents of Elisa King and Michael Moore will be pleased to know the couple didn't just pick this day out.
Poor kid.
Michael Moore's kid?
What's the guy named Michael Moore?
Oh, okay.
Out of thin air, turns out the number 11 has some meaning.
We were long distance for a while, and so it was a nice reminder at 11 a.m.
in the morning and 11 p.m.
to just think of each other.
Okay.
Nathan and Dawn Adams-Vree simply thought the date had a nice ring to it, kind of like a wedding bell.
Actually, she wants to get married on the 1st of this year, so 1-1-11.
I thought it'd be better if we make it all symmetrical.
11-11-11.
None of the 11 couples said they chose the date for its significance as a once-in-a-century palindrome, but Dylan and Stephanie Todd did find the date full of symbolism.
Thanks.
We were saying 11, 11, 11.
We were making a joke that we were the only one for each other.
So we picked all the ones we could find.
And if you want to hear something truly mysterious, turns out the city wasn't even planning for 11 couples.
We had 12, and then one person canceled.
Then we had somebody else call, and so we're back up to 12, and then they canceled as well, so we're back down to 11. 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11.
No.
It's great.
Listen, it's beautiful how it ends.
One guy did this, like the Queen video.
Right.
Hold on, let me fast forward to the end.
I love this.
Here it comes.
So nice.
So what's our next palindrome?
11-12-11?
No.
No, 11-22.
11-22.
Yeah, 11-22 is a big deal.
I think that's actually more interesting because you have a 1-1-2-2-1-1.
It's balanced and it's just great.
There's going to be a 33 and there's no 0-0, so it's the last big one.
And after that it's 12-12-12.
12-12-12, right.
And then there's, wait, isn't there 12...
No, 21-21?
I don't know.
What do I know?
Somebody in the, I guess in one of the chat rooms said that the square root of 11-11 and 11-11.
Yeah, it's actually 3-3-3-3-3-3-3.
Forever.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Coincidence?
I think not!
Alright.
Well, that was great, John.
That was some great information.
Thank you for that baby story.
Yeah, well, you know, it's probably as interesting as bro's going.
So, did you watch the debate last night?
Because, of course, I couldn't watch it.
Yes, I did, and I have some clips, and it was amazing.
First of all...
I got the Gingrich clip, which I think you have as well.
That blew me away, and I'm like, oh, I hope you watch it, because I want to hear...
Was this CBS? Was that what this was?
Yeah, it was CBS and it was in conjunction with the guy who owns that same group that Vivek Kundra worked for.
Oh, really?
Yeah, isn't that interesting?
That other guy.
The moderator?
The moderator douche?
Yeah, that guy.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, the whole thing was weird.
The Republican National Convention, the party.
How many times has Ron Paul called on?
I already saw the news reports.
Once?
89 seconds, I think he got, out of a two-hour show.
Yeah.
I mean, that's ridiculous.
This is my question.
So the RNC, which is the party, if you will, they determined they're going to have 30 debates.
Who's producing that?
Endemol?
I mean, who came up with this idea to do all this?
And by the way, it's not a debate.
They're debating the moderators.
This whole thing with Newt Gingrich is like the moderators arguing with him.
They're supposed to argue each other.
Every time they try to do that, the guy jump in and took over.
Alright.
So I got a couple things here.
First of all, let's set the stage.
This was after...
There was the two things that were...
Most of it was boring.
They talked about Iran and then Santorum went on and on and on.
Here, let's start with that then.
Santorum wants more covert activity.
Play the Santorum thing and you get a feeling for the Iran debate.
Everyone says, oh, Iran's going to kill us.
Oh, hold on a second.
Okay.
That's true, by the way.
I hope that some of the things that I've talked about here and the thing that I've been talking about for a while, which is covert activity.
There have been scientists turning up dead in Russia and in Iran.
We've been reporting on that for so long.
The scientists are dead!
He goes on and on about covert act.
How covert is it?
Yeah.
If you're reporting on it.
It's not very covert, is it, Rick?
Computer viruses.
There have been problems at their facility.
I hope that the United States has been involved with that.
I hope that we've been doing everything we can covertly to make sure that that program doesn't proceed forward.
And if we're lucky enough, and I'm not sure we will be, that if no action is taken and...
Oh, shut up.
We still don't have a nuclear run.
That would be my laser beam focus to make sure that would not happen.
And that's my laser beam.
Thank you very much.
I'm focusing my frothy laser beam on that.
How come they gave him so much time?
Here's another one.
Let's play another Rick Santorum.
He had another one?
Yeah, but he had two or three of them.
He was given all kinds of time.
Play the Rick Santorum.
And this is the one that's interesting.
Listen to this.
And the clip is named Rick Santorum Makes No Sense.
And listen to this logic and you go, what is he talking about?
The guy's in...
That we're going to be dealing with here in this year, and that's the issue of Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
I think everyone should have the opportunity to answer that question, particularly me.
I've been working on Iran since back in 2004, and I proposed exactly the things that Herman and Mitt Romney suggested, which was to give money to the rebel forces there to help the pro-democracy movement and to put tough sanctions in place.
I was opposed by President Bush.
And yet we were able to overcome that and pass the Iran Freedom and Support Act.
I was able to get that done and then President Bush didn't provide money for the pro-democracy movement and President Obama cut that money.
We have a situation that's different.
I disagree with Newton.
More sanctions and providing, you know, more support for the pro-democracy movement isn't going to be enough in time.
Wait a minute.
This is like a kid that at show and tell goes up and talks about his vacation.
And then we went to the campground and then before we left we took our pets and the pet had to poop but then the campground was flooded and what an idiot.
He says, Bush didn't give us any money and then Obama cut that money.
How does that work?
Thanks for that.
Oh, you know, just on Iran...
I disagree with Newt.
Meanwhile, he agreed with him.
It's like, it's just the guy is a rambling buffoon.
On Iran for a second, one of our Farsi-speaking producers checked in.
Remember we had that BBC translation, I think it was on the last show, where the BBC translator said, we want to thank them, we'll defeat them through our software?
Yeah.
Right.
So, hi guys, I was listening to your show last week, and since I'm Iranian, I can understand the Farsi language in the clip you played at the end of last show.
Hold on, before you go on, let me guess.
It was mistranslated.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He says, well, so he gives us the Farsi language.
Which I can't even begin to pronounce.
And then he says, here's the translation.
There's one bit I couldn't hear because the translator talked over it.
Quote, well, one report from America we thank you for a thousand, and then unintelligible, for atomic bomb for the world destroying.
He said the word for software in Farsi is software.
He said not at any point did the Ahmadinejad guy say software.
He says the gist of the translation is they thanked America for some report they came up with themselves and thanks to America the world would be destroyed or trashed.
So, BBC, intentionally or not, lied.
This was not the translation of what Ahmadinejad said.
In fact, Ahmadinejad was complaining about this probably farcical report, or I read the report, doesn't say that Iran has a nuclear weapon.
It says, we think they do, which is what people have been saying since 2003.
And we got a treasure trove of documents from Gaddafi's compound in Libya that proves it.
Please!
Please!
Alright.
Yeah.
Alright, so Santorum, of course, he probably wants to get in the New York Times because they've been just doing a report.
Two days ago, they had four stories about Iran.
I think it's because Syria is just off.
You know, Russia has now said that they're going to supply weapons to Syria because there's no embargo, and they're going to honor their agreements.
So, there's no way.
Syria's off the map.
New York Times has not written about it.
It's all about Iran, I guess.
Well, actually, they put Syria on the front page of this morning's Sunday paper.
Oh, noes.
But it wasn't done as a...
It didn't seem like a triggering story.
It seemed like a story of, you know, everybody wants something to happen in Syria, but we're still not turning the switch.
It's hard to explain it, but that's pretty much the way I interpreted it.
Okay.
Well, so we're still on track with no Syrian invasion, despite what Lucifer wants.
I guess it's straight to Iran now.
That's what everybody wants.
Because they've got software.
Well...
Software.
Douche.
Alright, any more Santorum stuff?
So this guy was a...
They all started off with this anti-arranged...
That was already more than Ron Paul got to speak.
That was like two minutes right there.
So Ron Paul got in on the one argument.
They didn't let him in on the good one.
They let him in on the torture argument.
And so it was Herman Cain that thinks torture is great.
Of course.
He's a bankster.
He's from the Federal Reserve.
He's an elitist.
He loves it.
And by the way, he thinks torture is pushing your head towards his crotch.
So here's waterboarding Kane and Bachman thinks...
Bachman, the Christian woman, thinks Torch is fantastic.
Waterboarding specifically...
No.
Yes, play.
...emailed in to the National Journal.
And it comes from Stephen Shaffroth of the Dells, Oregon.
And I'd like to address this question to...
Mr.
Kane, Stephen writes, I served on an aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War.
I believe that torture is always wrong in all cases.
What is your stance on torture?
Nice pregnant pause there.
I believe in following the procedures that have been established by our military.
I do not agree with torture.
Period.
However, I will trust the judgment of our military leaders to determine what is torture and what is not torture.
He knew this was coming.
That is so carefully prepared, that answer.
Yeah, but he still blows it.
Consideration.
Mr.
Cain, of course, you're familiar with the long-running debate we've had about whether waterboarding constitutes torture or is it an enhanced interrogation technique.
In the last campaign, Republican nominee John McCain and Barack Obama agreed that it was torture and should not be allowed legally, and that the Army Field Manual should be the methodology used to interrogate enemy combatants.
I can't believe this is a serious conversation in the United States of America.
It blows me away that we're talking this way.
It's amazing.
It's like I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
Now we're down to the words.
I'd like to go and waterboard everybody there.
Do you agree with that or do you disagree, sir?
I agree that it was an enhanced interrogation technique.
Come here, put your mouth on my crotch.
I got an enhanced interrogation technique for you.
Yeah.
And people are laughing or clapping?
What are they doing?
I would return to that policy.
I don't see it as torture.
I see it as an enhanced interrogation technique.
Congressman Coughlin, your opinion on this question that our emailer asked?
If I were president, I would be willing to use waterboarding.
I think it was very effective and gained information.
Let's vote her in just for the yucks.
That's so funny.
She's unbelievable.
Her hair is now all tied.
Her hair is all tied back now.
I mean, her outfits are amazing.
The way she changes every single time.
Yeah, she needs a dog collar around her neck.
Yeah, oh yeah.
And she needs to be wearing some leather, I think.
And I also would like to say that today, under Barack Obama, he is allowing the ACLU to run the CIA. You need to understand.
Wow, did you know that?
Yeah, the ACLU is running the CIA. The CIA. They're running the CIA. So if you want to get something done, go to the ACLU offices in Philadelphia, Washington.
And tell them what you want done.
Because they're running the CIA. Are they also running the drones?
Are they, like, flying those drones everywhere?
They're running the CIA. Those guys are great, yeah.
Today, today...
Is she going to take this to Obamacare somehow?
Is she able to twist it?
When we interdict a terrorist on the battlefield, we have no jail for them.
We have nowhere to...
We have Gitmo.
What is she talking about?
I have no idea what she's talking about.
They put people on naval ships.
We've got plenty of places to go and waterboard people.
To take them.
We have no CIA interrogation anymore.
It is as though we have decided we want to lose in the war on terror under President Obama.
That's not my strategy.
Did anyone ask by any chance how about we killed Bin Laden and we droned all those poor saps?
Did they ask about that?
Was there any drone talk at all?
Now that you mention it, no.
Really?
Well, there was kind of...
But they never mentioned drones, but they did talk about the assassination of Al-Waki.
Which we'll get to in a second.
Let's get her finished, and then we go to Ron Paul.
Well, she was done.
That was the end of the clip.
Okay, now we go to Ron Paul.
And as Ron Paul condemns the people who say this is a good thing, and he gets some applause, by the way.
Oh, thank goodness.
Even though they show an audience shot of nobody applauding.
Of course, it's the oldest trick in the book.
And so he says, and she tries to jump in, and they cut her off.
They say, we've already heard enough of you.
And she tries to defend herself.
Oh, great.
Major, I have to wait.
Major, Major.
What?
That was the beginning.
Was that the beginning of the Ron Paul clip?
Yeah.
It's only ten seconds.
Oh, nuts.
Well, anyway, I obviously clipped it poorly.
Maybe you...
Here's what happened.
Ron, I'll just give you the summary.
And she's jumping in at the end trying to get there.
Who names their kid Major, by the way?
What's up with that?
Maniac.
Major.
Ron Paul says torture is immoral.
It's illegal.
It's illegal by U.S. law.
It's illegal in international law.
And it's something we shouldn't do.
Period.
Yeah.
And so I think when he said it was immoral, she wanted to jump in and she wanted to get her two cents in.
It's not immoral.
Let me shoo her.
Hold on a second.
Shoo that biatch.
Meanwhile, she's moaning and groaning about one thing or another, and we're going to move on to the next.
I'm not worried about it.
I'll get to Ron Paul thing for later.
All right, Gingrich.
This is the one that I saw.
This is great.
Okay, so they asked, well, let's start with the first one, though.
You've got to start with the Killing Americans.
Gingrich was second.
Let me see.
Where's the other one?
Romney.
First they ask Romney, and then they ask Gingrich.
Are we seriously debating killing Americans?
Is that where we're at in 2011?
Romney.
Governor Romney, recently President Obama ordered the death of an American citizen who was suspected of terrorist activity overseas.
Is it appropriate for the American president, on the president's say-so alone, to order the death of an American citizen suspected of terrorism?
Can I guess what he says?
Does he say yes?
What do you think?
Does he say yes?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Not just yes.
Absolutely.
I almost spit my coffee.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
This is an individual who had aligned himself with a group that had declared war in the United States of America.
And if there's someone that's going to join with a group like Al-Qaeda that declares war in America and we're in a war with that entity, then of course anyone who is bearing arms with that entity is fair game for the United States of America.
That is not true.
We have never declared war on Al-Qaeda.
That is not true.
We are not at war with Al-Qaeda.
We have not declared war with Al-Qaeda.
Al-Qaeda, of course, doesn't exist.
I guess if you extrapolate and connect the dots, we're at war with the ACLU. Or the American public.
Yeah, possibly.
Alright, Gingrich.
I mean, because we're going to kill him.
Because Gingrich, unfortunately, I know what he says because I have the clip, is right.
Unfortunately.
What do you mean he's right?
Oh, I'll tell you why.
Let's listen to the clip.
It is the rule of law.
You know, let me play my clip.
Because my clip has that douchebag.
Is it Major?
Is he asking the questions or the other guy?
The other guy asked, I think.
Actually saying, no, no, it's not.
It's not.
Thank you very much.
We'll have courtesy for all of the candidates on the stage.
Speaker Gingrich, if I could just ask you the same question.
As President of the United States, would you sign that death warrant for an American citizen overseas who you believe is a terrorist suspect?
Well, he's not a terrorist suspect.
He's a person who was found guilty under review of actively seeking the death of America.
John, do you think we could be under review?
Well, I think we've been under review.
Is this the drone review board?
Not found guilty by a court servant.
He was found guilty by a panel that looked at...
Oh, it's a panel.
I'm sorry.
It's a panel.
On the dais.
Yes, hello panel.
How do you find guilty?
...reported to the president.
Well, that's extrajudicial.
It's not the rule of law.
It is the rule of law.
Now, he says it is the rule of law, and unfortunately, he is correct.
Because under the Patriot Act...
And this is put in place by Bush, of course, extended by Obama.
If you are found to be an enemy combatant, an enemy combatant, then you can be killed.
That is explicitly false.
It is the rule of law.
If you engage in war against the United States, you are an enemy combatant.
There you go.
That's the exact wording, enemy combatant.
He is right about that.
It's a sad state, but he's right.
There's no due process on this.
How is the guy who says you declare war?
He didn't declare war in the United States.
No, no, no.
Where have you been?
Where have you been for the past five years?
In the Patriot Act, it explicitly says, An enemy combatant, which as determined by the president or the panel, if you're an enemy combatant, then you're fair game.
All of your constitutional rights are gone, my friend.
These have been suspended.
This is the whole problem.
He is right at this moment.
Okay, on the surface he is right.
And this is why they would not turn this back over to Ron Paul, who was ignored throughout the rest of the debate.
He was probably wetting his pants.
And people are applauding this?
No, the whole audience is applauding him.
Yes!
Kill, kill, kill, kill.
Let me be very clear about this.
The two levels.
There's a huge gap here that frankly far too many people get confused over.
Civil defense, criminal defense, is a function of being within the American law.
waging war on the United States is outside criminal law.
It is an act of war and should be dealt with as an act of war.
And the correct thing in an act of war is to kill people who are trying to kill you.
I'll take Bachman back.
I want this guy as our president.
Kill people!
Kill people!
Hi, I'm from America, where we kill people.
Hey!
I am so happy I'm moving to Texas where I can have a gun.
Because this is an outrage.
And the fact that the debate is not about how outrageous it is what has happened to the United States Constitution.
And by the way, I would say that the entire Patriot Act is unconstitutional by itself.
Yeah.
Of course, it keeps getting signed.
It keeps passing it over and over.
So whose fault is that?
Section 215.
Go to section215.org.
Read all about it.
And go to gotdroned.com and see how many American citizens have gotten droned.
Oh my goodness.
It's not good enough to kill brown people in sand.
We've got to kill white people in sand.
In white sand.
So I want to play the one clip just before they went to Gingrich.
They played the guy who made this commentary.
No boos at the debate.
So when Gingrich came out and gave his spiel, no one could boo him, which I think the Ron Paul people would have done.
Ladies and gentlemen, the applause are lovely, but we will not have booing.
No!
What is this?
No booing.
I got a tweet from one of our producers who was at the event and he got scolded and scoffed at in the audience because he booed Gingrich.
He tweeted that.
He said, oh, I just got like hammered for booing.
Wer soll nicht bohren, ja?
Das wird nicht gehandhaft.
Bohen ist nicht in Ordnung.
Hallo?
Your papers?
Why are you booing?
You cannot be booing.
You cannot be booing.
No booing.
If you boo, you are fair game and we must kill you.
Oh my goodness.
You're an enemy combater for booing.
An enemy kombutant.
I'm ashamed!
I'm deeply, deeply, deeply ashamed.
Not just by the spectacle that these reality shows have become.
Not just that.
Who produced this?
Who produced this show?
CBS. Did you look at the credits?
No.
It was the same guy who does the Emmys.
Come on, it's gotta be.
I don't know.
You look it up.
Somebody's probably got it.
This is so embarrassing as a nation.
It's really bad.
Oh my goodness.
Well, if the criminal court ever gets any balls and picks up some of our tourists that float around the world, you know, not me, but, you know, Cheney and these guys.
No, please.
It's not going to happen.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yeah, this was the worst of the debates in that regard, and showing just the ugliest side.
We love torture and killing people.
And don't you dare boo it.
And no booing.
No booing.
Ah, nobooing.com.
I'm sure it's available.
Meanwhile, can I just interject with a little short clip?
Please.
Ah!
So if you weren't frightened enough by that, check this out.
There's a new travel warning this morning.
Federal officials are eyeing possible attacks on buses.
The warning comes just days before one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.
Officials say there's reason to believe that terrorists might try to detonate bombs on buses both here in the U.S. and abroad.
Documents seized from Osama bin Laden's compound even outline a Plot to use the buses themselves as weapons, driving them into buildings or crowds of people.
Officials say a specific attack, though, is not imminent.
Now, is that a bus you're driving or a weapon of mass destruction?
And then, to do all that, and then at the end...
And then say not imminent.
Not imminent to say, oh, by the way, this is just to scare you.
It's not going to happen.
Is the most disgusting thing I heard all week.
Wow.
Wait until you start watching Texas local news.
I ain't gonna watch.
Oh, yeah, you are.
Yeah, I will.
Of course, that's why I'm there, to improve the show.
And I'd like to thank the elites for flipping the earthquake machine in Texas in honor of our arrival.
Did you hear about that?
No.
Yeah, 4.8 magnitude earthquake just south of San Antone.
They never have earthquakes in Texas.
We show up.
Let me see how this works.
We're in Washington, D.C. Earthquake.
We're on our way to Texas.
Earthquake.
Hmm.
Yeah, the government actually, let's see, the U.S. Army and U.S. Geological Survey have concluded the practice of injecting water into deep rock formations causes earthquakes.
Thank you.
Now that you got that out of the way, remember, you are an insurgents.
And we need to throw psyops on you to make you not believe it's true.
Oh, wow.
Before we go on, I did find the New York Times front page that has the Syria story.
I'll just deconstruct it so people can realize what this is.
Do we want...
I mean, can we do the jingle since you're going to do it?
It's a Sunday, after all.
Can we...
Okay, let's do the jingle.
We should get our money.
Yeah.
The Sunday New York Times had a picture of the football game with the Nittany Lions, which is the Penn State team, which lost to Nebraska.
And by the way, don't you think it was interesting?
The story keeps going and going and going, but the one little element that's kind of interesting that nobody that I've seen yet on network news, it was on my blog.
The original district attorney that took the case on.
Yeah, he's been missing.
The guy's been missing.
He's now declared dead.
Oh, how convenient.
So let me get this straight.
And the funny thing is, if you look at it, if you look at the 2002...
Actually, if you look at the record of the Penn State team, when their first accusations came out, they went on to an amazing losing streak.
And as soon as this guy was determined to be...
Or when he went missing, dead...
The team went 11-1.
I mean, they immediately started winning again.
So that just indicates to me that everybody knew about this and they were just nervous about getting busted.
This guy was out to get everybody.
Wow.
That doesn't come up in the conversation.
No, but you know what does come up in the conversation?
Because I watched a little bit of the morning shows this morning because we are an hour ahead.
They're going out and they're interviewing people around Penn, around Penn State, and of course what they do is they only take the things that you're meant to see and they edit those into the piece.
We've deconstructed that so many times.
And it's all like...
Yeah, we just need to move on.
Yeah, we'll get over this.
No!
No, stop!
Stop, please!
You have a pedo bear ring in your midst, selling boys to elites, covered up by the authorities, including Child Protective Services.
You can't move on from this.
And all they're talking about is football!
Well, should they be suspended from the team, from the playoffs?
Are you kidding me?
It's unbelievable.
It's just like, cover it up.
Of course, because the people running the networks are in the ring.
It's just rampant.
It's the church, it's the Boy Scouts, it's the football league.
Okay, alright.
So anyway...
The missing district attorney is quite alarming.
Anyway, so I'm looking at the paper.
So above the fold, the top story, the one over there far right, and it is really the headline story, is even as government acts, time runs short for Euro.
They are announcing in the Euro land, essentially...
Well, this story indicates to me that they're going to pull the plug on this thing, and you better get your ducks in a row.
Well, they're talking about the Nero.
Did you hear this?
No, the Nero.
The Nero, yeah.
Well, they call it the Nero, N-E-R-O. Yeah, well, okay.
The Nero would only be for the northern states.
In Euro land.
So all the southern guys, there's a cutoff point.
Sorry, you're in the Euro, not in the Neuro.
Yeah, the Neuro.
They're actually talking about this, the Neuro.
So this seems to me to be an indicator story, so I keep an eye on my investments.
Then we see the one, then there's the, on the far left, the Arab League suspends Syria over brutality.
And what this story says to me is that, look, don't get worked up about Syria.
The Arab League is taking care of it.
Yeah, they're on the case.
Yeah, I had that story too.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And then they had a Romney story, which was meaningless.
A spotlight fixed on Geithner, a man Obama fought to keep.
And I'm not sure where that's headed.
Another 9-11 story for some reason.
Really?
And then a really weird story was showing some kid in a hot tub.
With a football helmet on by any chance?
No, but he's got his computer there and he's typing.
In the hot tub.
Yeah.
Front page.
And so it's called Animal McMansion Students Trade Dorm for Suburban Luxury.
And let me just read some of this story.
Apparently, one of our listeners going to Riverside should go to Merced because it had apparently a housing disaster and it blew up.
And so there's all these McMansions, these mini mansions that these kids are renting.
Yeah.
Really?
For next to nothing.
That's pretty cool.
And they're going to school.
They're like living the life of Riley in these five bedroom places with, you know, hot tubs and pools and the whole thing.
Yeah, live it up, kids.
It ain't gonna last.
Yeah, live it up while you can in Merced.
Kind of the downside is you're in Merced.
Live it up, baby.
Wow.
Alright, was that it?
Yeah, I guess.
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times.
I will say this, that if anybody out there is listening to the show live, get today's Sunday New York Times.
Go find somebody who's got it and get it.
The paper is filled to the gills with memes and messages that just, I mean, it just goes, it's every section.
This is the most...
I've got a couple of interesting meme clips for you that are all from El Presidente.
You know, Obama, of course, President Obama has his two reality shows.
He has the actual reality show, The West Wing Week.
And then, of course, he has his YouTube address, which was very boring.
They dressed him up in a flight jacket.
He's on a battleship.
And it was very much...
And it didn't look good on him.
If you see the video, it's like one shoulder's way too long.
I mean, the thing is oversized by four sizes.
It just doesn't look good on them.
But they didn't center it, so it's like hanging off one shoulder.
Didn't look good.
So the West Wing Week.
West Wing Week.
Is this spelled W-E-A-K? Yeah, it should be.
Listen to the meme that we've been following.
To the Yadin Regional Head Start Center.
First, he visited a classroom to meet with educators and some of the nation's future builders.
Then he announced the next step in his We Can't Wait campaign.
Oh, it's a campaign now!
It's a We Can't Wait campaign.
Okay.
So the campaign consisted of yet another executive order, which he signed, and this was to cut waste, which we talked about on a previous show.
But this guy, I'm sorry, he's so childish.
So what he did is he held a contest.
A contest among staffers who could come up with the best idea to cut waste.
Now listen to how they, of course like any good reality show, you have the little sound clips and he does a conference, a video conference with the winners.
And then he's actually talking, he's in the Oval Office signing this order and he's got 20 people around him.
And one of the guys who wins, he doesn't even know who the guy is.
So he says, raise your hand.
Just listen to this.
During the teleconference, he thanked them for their ideas and told them he was signing an executive order to reduce government spending on travel, technology, and trinkets.
Dad, I love that.
Travel, technology, and trinkets.
You know, if we could only save some money on trinkets, that will save the country, John.
I didn't know that we had a budget for trinkets.
Apparently we did.
Now listen.
Saving taxpayers as much as $4 billion a year.
We had $4 billion worth of trinkets.
Holy moly!
What was it, travel...
What is it?
Technology.
Technology and trinkets!
We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as we'd like, and that's why we launched, on our own initiative, the campaign.
The campaign!
We can't wait.
Not just to cut spending, but to make government work better for the American people.
Roger Rhodes works at the Department of Commerce.
Raise your hand, Roger.
See, he doesn't even know who the guy is.
Raise your hand, Roger.
He's reading off the paper.
Raise your hand, Roger, so I know where to look.
It's an old trick, by the way.
You know, it's like when you forget someone's name, there's all kinds of tricks you can get out of it.
Oh yeah, I got a half dozen tricks I use.
Yeah, but this is a really old one.
Like, raise your hand, Roger.
What are we, in kindergarten?
Here's Roger.
He found a way to save the department almost $2 million a year on its cell phone bills.
And I'm sure that there are probably some consumers out there that would like to talk to him and find out what they could save on their cell phone.
Oh, he made it funny.
$2 million on cell phone bills?
That's nothing.
That's how medium-sized business does that.
That's nothing.
Don't make me laugh.
Now, the final one.
So he's on this video conference.
He's complimenting these winners who came up with genius ideas to cut back on trinkets.
But now, apparently they used a tool that I was unfamiliar with.
It's apparently a tool that is only available in the Obama administration.
Where it was effectively tracked, everybody was putting The same special super-duper space wrench in the same place.
The super-duper space wrench.
What?
Yeah.
Super-duper what?
Space wrench.
Super-duper space wrench?
Listen to it.
Am I hearing this right?
Yes, you're hearing it right.
This is your president.
Listen again.
It was effectively tracked.
Everybody was putting the same special super-duper space wrench in the same place.
What?
What are you talking about?
I love it when you're flabbergasted.
Well, because they use the super-duper space wrench to find ways to cut back on spending on technology, travel, and trinkets.
And apparently, you can only do that with the super-duper space wrench.
What is he talking about?
What?
Super-duper space wrench!
Don't you have one of those in the garage with an outline so you know where to hang it up again?
It's like an attack vector.
Attack vector dashboard.
It's a super-duper space wrench.
It's like a clutch car.
What is he talking about?
What is it supposed to be?
How many times do I have to tell you it's a super-duper space wrench?
It was effectively tracked.
Everybody was putting...
The same special super duper space wrench in the same place.
Even the people around him were like, what a buffoon.
Super duper space wrench.
I think that should be, you know, if we get a debate, if he doesn't quit, between, I guess, Romney and him, I hope the Major, or Anderson, says, Mr.
President, will you be using your super-duper space wrench to fix the economy?
These issues will never come up.
These things are all rigged.
No kidding.
Wow.
That gave a hit at Clip of the Day.
Really?
Oh, I didn't expect that.
Well, thank you.
I'll take the honor.
Clip of the Day.
And I thank the producers of the West Wing Week.
West Wing Week.
W-E-A-K. West Wing Week.
For handing me that on a silver platter.
The Super Duper Space Wrench.
It may even be the title of the show.
It's so good.
It's on the list of names to consider.
So, um...
There's a summary of these Walkie Pie things which have deteriorated.
Yeah, they've been getting kicked out.
I think the main thing, this guy by the way was clipped to death.
He was on every sort of international news show with just one simple comment.
You've got to imagine a guy covered with Rastafarian hair and he looks like he's wasted and he says, I'm here to stay.
Oh, okay.
You surprised me.
I didn't know what to do.
I got it.
This idea is my home and I'm here to stay.
Oh, God.
He's doing a very subtle Christopher Walken.
Subtle?
Not really.
This is my home and I'm here to stay.
This idea is my home and I'm here to stay.
Stay.
It's so sad.
It's like, you know, you do this in the sand somewhere where you can steal oil.
You're fighting for democracy and for God-given rights as human rights.
You do it in America, you're an idiot.
You're an idiot.
Exactly.
There's even an Occupy White Sands going on here.
They were tents.
Oh, really?
Yeah, they're tents everywhere.
Sure, that's just not squatters?
No, but maybe.
No, but it's 99%.
Big 99%.
And by the way, I want to mention to people that now, of course, everyone's looking at pictures of Michael Moore's $2 million home.
People, this is all part of the setup, okay?
This is all part of the setup to distract from what you're trying to do.
They're doing this just to create more reasons for news airtime on this bullcrap.
We have Michael Moore.
Oh, he's one of them.
He's one of the 1%.
Look at his mansion.
Michael Moore's in on it and he's selling books like crazy.
27 bucks a pop.
Is that thing on the bestseller list yet?
I think he is.
It's funny because the other guy, Clinton came out with a book I guess he somehow managed to write, or somebody did.
So he's on C-SPAN, being interviewed by his daughter Chelsea, and it's just like the two of them.
I don't think that they like each other.
He's giving her the stink eye and she's asking stupid questions.
No.
No.
Like, you're just a spy for your mother.
I hate you.
And I guess I should back up and say, these kinds of financial crashes take, historically, five to ten years to get over.
And if you have a mortgage component to it, it tends to push it out toward ten years.
We should be trying to beat that clock.
We can't do it, in my opinion.
Even if we adopt, I'm for the President's jobs plan.
I think there are a lot of good ideas in there.
And they'll give us one and a half, two million jobs according to the economic analyses.
But if you want to return to a full employment economy, if you want to start having 240,000 jobs a month, I think we average 227,000 a month for eight years.
If you want that, you've got to flush this debt and get bank lending going again.
So he's going on about, it's going to take five years, it goes to ten years if there's a real estate component.
This is bull crap.
It's the last decade we're spiraling.
He's just making stuff up.
He was standing there making stuff up very slow-witted.
I think he's in trouble.
I think he's very ill.
Much iller than we think.
He's going to his face with his hands, but it's like when you go to your face before he lies, which is most of the time, so he's constantly doing this.
But he goes to his face, but he goes so slow, and then he kind of scratches real slow, and then he talks, and his eyes are really...
He looks like he's an advertisement for Samsonite with all the bags under his eyes.
It's unbelievable.
And then he glares at Chelsea, who tries to liven things up, and it was pathetic.
Painful.
But he was mostly just bullcrap and it was a lot of nonsense and it was laughable.
I think it's going to be interesting because he keeps pushing himself onto all these talk shows.
Yeah.
And I think they're going to reject him because he comes on.
Last time he was on one of the talk shows, it was just like, you don't know what he was talking about.
It was just crazy.
Anyway, let's eat some meat, dude.
Have a hamburger, will ya?
It'll do you some good.
Yeah, I used to chow down at McDonald's, and then, you know, now he's going cold turkey, he only eats seagrass.
Not looking good, no.
I can't find Michael Moore on the bestseller list.
I don't think he's on there yet.
Oh, well.
I have no idea.
Earlier we were talking about vaccinations.
Remember Baxter?
Our favorite company who mixed up swine flu?
Oh yeah, the one that mixed up the flus.
The swine flu with the bird flu.
They've announced they are recalling 300,000 doses of its pre-flu cell flu vaccine due to, quote, an excessive amount of adverse reactions.
Recalled from thousands of pharmacies and surgeries, that's like doctor's offices, across Europe, Guillain-Barre syndrome and narcolepsy are being induced by this vaccine.
And they're recalling it now.
But of course, in the United States, they can't be sued by executive order.
Baxter.
Well, they can be sued elsewhere.
I think it's almost unconscionable that we have allowed this sort of thing to just continue.
If it wasn't for Ron Paul, no one even would have any complaints apparently in Congress.
No one has any complaints.
Oh, and Occupy Wall Street, this is what I wanted to find for you.
Jay-Z is launching a line of themed t-shirts featuring the phrase, Occupy All Streets.
They went on sale on his website on Friday, and according to his spokeshole, Rokoware, spokeshole from Rokoware, told Business Insider in a statement the company has not made an official commitment to support the movement financially.
Ha!
Jay-Z is great.
Hey, I got some idea.
These people out there, they need t-shirts.
You got internet there?
Buy my t-shirt.
Buy my $99 t-shirt.
What a douchebag.
Right along there with Russell Simmons.
All cashing in on it.
Oh yeah.
You need to occupy that guy.
So I do have a kind of a, I don't know, I was watching free speech TV. Oh yeah.
And there was a, they were doing a donation thing.
And it's like, are you kidding me?
I mean, even PBS doesn't go this far with what they want you to give them for what they return.
Now, wait a minute.
Don't you already pay for this as a part of your cable package?
They're getting money.
As far as I know.
Denver, Colorado, we have short-sleeved gray ones.
If you're looking for a shirt, we can help you with that, too.
Now, these shirts are great.
I've seen them.
They're among the best that we've offered in recent pleasure eyes.
Yep, these shirts are union-made and screen-printed right here in Denver, Colorado.
We have short-sleeved gray ones, and we also have black zip-up hooded sweatshirts for $150.
Wow!
Would you like a challenge coin with that?
$150 for a hoodie?
It's $100 for a t-shirt!
Wow!
John, we should just quit doing this show and just sell t-shirts.
If we can get a hundred bucks and pop.
Yeah, union made and silkscreened here in Austin, Texas.
Enjoy, everybody.
Now, unfortunately, that's not the way it's not going to go.
I'm going to show myself the world by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
Cool, cool, cool.
Nailed it.
Because it was 11-11-11, we have a lot of people to thank.
I want to start, though, with a make good.
We should have been done on the Thursday show from CKP Creative, our night out in Hatsboro, Pennsylvania.
I'm closing a quad niner donation.
Niner, niner, niner, niner.
For his birthday wishes to his wife on the November 10th show, she's mentioned as part of his PR initiative, and you want to put her on the list, even though he never says her name in here.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Anyway, it's Craig in Gitmo Nation Cheesesteak.
So Craig's wife.
Just put that on there, and we'll give her a birthday shout-out.
Hopefully it's on the list, isn't it?
I don't think so, because this came in as a hard copy.
Hold on a second.
So, just as I say, Craig's wife?
I guess.
Well, what kind of make-do is that?
Well, I know.
It's just...
No, there's no name of her right here.
All right.
All she wants is a happy birthday from the douchebag boys.
She wants some karma.
She got over cancer.
Give her that.
That'll do it.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
You've got karma.
And I've got her on the list for the birthdays.
Okay.
Richard Heldenberg came in with $168.02.
Sommen, Sweden.
Hope this letter finds you well.
I missed to add a note in the PayPal.
I sent this donation.
This is 1111.11 Swedish Kroner, which comes in at $168.02.
In desperate need of some karma to get my love life started and find a girl.
He's in Sweden?
Thanks for providing the best podcast in the universe.
I guess those Abba chicks are too old now or something like that.
You thought.
Sorry.
You can't find a girl.
Go to Norway.
They're there, too.
Stefano Mellis in Italy, $151.33.
Linda Lee Briggs in Lakewood, California, 12345.
He says, I have no way of thanking the Baron personally for keeping you podcasting.
I'd like to thank him.
The only way I can conceive of, which is matching his contribution by nominating him formally for sainthood.
St.
Von Pelsmacher really says that all your...
St.
Stephen.
I like it.
St.
Stephen.
Yeah, that's not bad.
The only source I trust for real news, and I'm ashamed to have you made beggars.
We're not beggars.
Which is $11.11 plus $11.11 plus $1.11 plus $1.12345.
In the name of her son, Saper Ode.
Saper Ode?
Saper Ode?
I think Saper Ode.
I guess.
Ode.
Saper Ode.
I think he would punch me in the mouth a while ago.
He is my white knight and could use a heaping helping of karma as he's now living the American dream of just getting by.
Okay.
You've got karma.
Uh, we've got, uh...
Link?
Link dot me?
Link.me, a fairly new listener, but your podcast has quickly become my favorite.
So $11.11 times 11 is $122.21.
All I can afford right now.
Please give my WordPress plug-in and business some karma.
Link.me.
L-E is Lima Echo Echo November Kilo dot Mike Echo.
I'm thinking of creating a no-agenda show directory.
Link.me.
We're all on No Agenda show lists to promote their businesses.
Actually, we want to do that on No Agenda Nation.
Now, the following, we have a huge list of donors that came in with the $111.11.
I'm going to write off the top.
These people all gave 111.11, so I don't have to repeat that.
One of them starts off with somebody anonymous.
Then somebody in Philadelphia named Anthony Gennaro.
Then Brian Barrow in Wooten, somewhere in England, UK. He was driving home on Friday evening at 11, 11, 11.
Pulled up a set of lights.
It was 8, 11.
Glanced at his trip counter.
It's odometer.
It was 111.1.
Figured it was some sort of sign, so here's another donation.
Okay, I agree with that.
Chad Watson in Uless, Texas.
Christoph...
What do you think?
It's German.
Schoteldreier?
Schoteldreier.
Schoteldreier?
Which means dish turner.
Yeah, maybe it's Schoteldreier.
Maybe it's a dishwasher.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Best podcast in the world.
Needs karma for the best podcast in the universe, by the way.
Travels 60,000 kilometers a year, and we keep him awake.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
You've got karma.
I gotta tell you, on this drive, I actually said to Mickey, I said, man, I wish I didn't do No Agenda, because then I could listen to the show.
It would be fun to listen to.
Clifton Sluice from Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
I tried getting drunk, but I'm running out of beer.
Here's my 111.11, which is a bit shy of relevance, numerologically speaking.
I sincerely thank you both for the show.
It's nothing short of revolutionary.
I set up a dollar-an-hour subscription.
A steal...
And something we all should be doing last month, but now it's time to make good on a few things.
Adam Shastid, a.k.a.
Shasticles, called me and several other boners out of douchebags a while back, so I suppose I need a dedouching, and as fate would have it, Mr.
Shastid is now in need of some karma to get a raise at work.
We'll see you guys at Galt's Gulch.
I'll bring the mesh-based internet in the morning.
So here's a dedouching double shot.
You've been dedouched.
You've got karma.
I guess he's in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
I know how he's going to get to Texas.
Damien Taman in Perth, a place that we all want to go.
Dear John and I, you've been there.
It's beautiful.
I felt compelled to donate today, one day late, after someone outside my office tried to pickpocket me on 11-11.
When I confronted them, they became violent.
But luckily, a group of people grabbed the guy and hit him in the mouth.
Yeah.
This all happened on 11-11.
So when I sat down to think about this today, I'm sure this was a sign from the universe that I should donate to the No Agenda show.
Please give the pickpocket a call-out as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
And a karma shout-out to the group of people who saved my ass.
There you go.
That's awesome.
You've got karma.
From Montreal, Quebec, Daniel Margulius.
Morning, John and Adam.
I'm a Montreal resident who fled his home country of Australia to enjoy some French country and language insecurity.
I was tipped off about your show after Adam's appearance on the Buzz Out Loud podcast with Ms.
Molly Wood.
After a few listens...
No Agenda rocketed to the top of my subjective charts.
I can officially confirm that No Agenda is the best podcast in the universe.
I've been a boner for a few months, but today's auspicious date of 11-11-11 provided the perfect excuse for me to finally donate.
Keep your insightful analysis of the media and politics.
I especially appreciate your discussion of non-US politics, i.e.
Euroland, Canadian, and Australian politics and affairs.
I hope the show goes from strength to strength and you liberate more and more of us slaves from our programmed minds.
We can't wait.
Daniel, P.S., could you send me a shot of karma, please?
I'm back on the job market and need some luck on my side.
Well, it does seem to work.
Here you go, Daniel.
You've got karma.
Then Daryl Slade in one of the two in Dublin, California, right around the corner from me.
This contribution is for some karma from my wife, Melissa, and I to create a new human resource.
Yay!
Yay!
Oh, he wants the karma.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, some penile karma.
Yeah, you got it.
You've got karma.
There you go.
He finally came to donate after seeing a commercial on Sunday morning cartoons for a drone for kids.
Please send me a link to that.
I need to have that for our game show.
Drone for kids?
Is it like a miniature drone?
You two can have a drone.
That's right.
That's right, kids.
Here's your drone.
David Eckersley in Mount Helena, Western Australia, recharging the Karma account.
Cheers from Yallingup.
Get Monation down under.
A drone.
You've got karma.
Recharge.
Eric Brown, Felton, California.
No comment.
Eric Vela Nueva in Houston, Texas.
Hi, John and Adam from Gitmo Mofo.
I've been listening to your show for more than a year.
I finally admit to my negligent participation to donating to your show insertion of your douchebaggery soundbite here.
Douchebag.
Many of us who have been hit by the headwinds of carbon-emitting blowtards in D.C. as well as the 57 states of the Obama nation.
He's got all the corny memes.
He's got all the memes in there, yeah.
State officials have been bribed to have us vaccinated into the inattentive sports-induced captives programmed to absorb their news rather than stopping to read the label and questioning what the hell they are feeding us.
Your show is the laxative to purge out all toxins of misinformation and fear-mongering that we digest from our dietary consumption of the mainstream news.
He hopes to hear Adam on a future broadcast of The Alex Jones Show.
I'd actually like to see you on The Alex Jones Show.
He'll never have me on.
He doesn't like competition.
Some anonymous person from Middletown, Rhode Island, gave us some money, but he wants to send some karma to Ron Paul...
You've got...
Horse Presence in Pacifica, California.
Thanks to you, I can't get the Moxie Girls song out of my head.
Otherwise, great work with what you're doing.
Karma, shout out to my loved ones and businesses.
Would be appreciated from Horse Presence there.
You've got...
Karma.
Hugo HB from Puerto Rico.
Uh...
Curitiba.
Curitiba.
Curitiba, Puerto Rico?
In the morning from Gitmo Nation House of Cards.
I've been a donor since I started listening back in the good old U.S. dollar two days.
Now I'm on the U.S. dollar, oh, $11 a month subscription, but we'll try to fast-track to knighthood, compliments of Sir Baron Von Pelsmacher's, or not, he says.
Well, you have to write in your 25-word essay.
Essay.
Yeah, your tweets to noagenda at dvorak.org.
Keep up the good work, guys.
The best damn podcast in the universe.
Give a call out to my fellow Brazilian producers.
There you go, a little call out.
I don't have a...
I don't have a...
I have Spanish.
Maybe close to Portuguese.
Yeah, Portuguese.
Grab your line in Tustin, California.
Or actually Israel, I guess.
But it says Tustin.
Grab you on again.
Here's a donation for the Gitmo at 2222 Gitmo Nation falafel time.
Like a birthday shout out for my little human resource.
We'll do that in a little while.
It's turning three.
Thanks for the best podcast in the universe.
JC, no name, no, I mean just JC and parts unknown.
Jacob Cruz, I guess it's Cruz, Decatur, Georgia.
$11, 11 cents, I'm sorry.
Jake the button-pushing monkey.
Hopes for snagging some sweet double karma for my dad, Mark, and wonderful wife, Ann.
I'm sure my dad is on this show.
I'm afraid he might have got shit canned from his job because of me.
Uh-oh.
Oh, this is not good.
Sorry.
This is my first donation.
I'd like to be called out as a douchebag for not donating sooner.
No, it should be a de-douching.
We'll give him a de-douching.
I've been listening to Noah Genesis, episode 183, long-time boner, first-time donor.
Also, Adam, I've worked with Al Roker, too, and my God, is he a dickhead.
Thanks, guys.
Jake the Button.
Really?
Yeah, we've talked about that.
It's a huge egotistical...
Yeah, I know, but you had confirmation.
Yeah, well, I knew that.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
James Gowan in Fremont, California, in the morning to the best podcast in the universe.
I'm sorry, I'm on a little delay here.
It ties up my tongue.
Can I get some karma for myself and for Ron Paul?
Adios, mofos.
Absolutely, James.
You've got karma.
James Pierce from Copperas Cove, Texas.
Welcome to Tejas!
Thank you so much.
Jeffrey Stekroth in Norfolk, Virginia.
For my donation of $111.11 at 1111 on 111111, I request that karma is bestowed upon my entire Stekroth family and a healthy de-douching for myself.
Of course, happy to comply.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Jeffrey Van Den, no note, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Thank you so much.
Jesse Wilson hops on the 1111 bandwagon, Hobart, Indiana.
John Adam, I request a dedouching for being a boner, not a donor.
It's my first donation to any podcast ever.
I'd like to request some comment from my girlfriend who's looking for a new job who is also celebrating having lost 100 pounds this year.
Oh, well, I have a special one for her.
Hold on a second.
You've been dedouched.
That's wonderful.
You've got karma.
Triple shot.
I bet she's rocking.
Where were we?
Jonas Astrum, as a matter of fact, in some place which has got a bunch of symbols on my screen.
Looks like, I don't know where, it looks like somewhere in the Netherlands.
In the morning, John, I'd like to request some karma for all of us living the American dream of just getting by in Gitmo Nation, haiku hell, EU. Thank you very much.
P.S. Bill Maher is a douchebag.
He sure is.
He needs a karma.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You've got karma.
What a list, John.
Joseph Graceffo.
I think that's it.
Yep.
In Ramsey, Jersey.
Jersey.
In the morning from Gitmo Nation Garden State where all the slaves are in a vegetative state.
Oh, get it?
Yeah, I like it.
Get it?
You made it funny.
I got it.
I got it.
Absolutely.
I wanted to wait until May and donate 365 for my no agenda birthday since I started listening last May, but I need the karma now for a new job opportunity, so give me the double shot because I'm no longer a vaginal irrigation sack.
Yeah.
Love the show, and I'll work for my night ring so I can hit more people in the mouth.
Joe, absolutely.
You've been de-douched.
Nothing like a vaginal irrigation sack.
Josh Bean in Lakewood, Colorado, recently started listening to the show, figured I better take advantage of this unique 11-11 opportunity.
On Twitter, I like the wisdom of at bad Dalai Lama.
Perhaps you can suggest him to the listeners we just did.
Justin Bowerly...
Which also could be pronounced barely.
In Rescue, California, trying to convert people every day by assassinating the meteorite when they were watching it.
Had to make sure to go to see Jerry World.
Oh yes, absolutely.
It's a little drive from Austin, unfortunately, but you definitely have to see the Cowboy Stadium.
Okay.
Needs a karma shot.
Sorry, here we go.
You've got karma.
Sir Justin Seitz in Pittsburgh.
Sir Keith Edwards in Gilbert, Arizona.
Sir Lawrence McBride in Morton, Merseyside.
Is that how you pronounce that, by the way?
Merseyside.
Yes, Merseyside.
Raymond Cousera.
I am sad.
Raymond is from Clarkson, Michigan.
I'm sad you guys did not win the podcast award, but it was bullshit anyway.
The fact of the matter is...
True.
That you guys make the best podcast in the universe, and I'm proud to be a producer.
The fact of the matter is...
The fact of the matter.
Yeah, this is...
Oops, second one.
Here we go.
I was going to make this donation at 111111, but I knew I would forget.
Dr.
Ray.
Thank you, Dr.
Ray.
Enough to talk about?
What?

Mark Morrison from Roswell, Georgia, checks in with the 1111 karma.
Mark Trinuth.
Marcus from Sadbury, Ontario.
I was sitting in my car before a three-and-a-half-hour one-way weekly commute home talking to some sales guy.
At XM about the $111 renewal cost, I noticed.
My odometer read $11,111.1 on November 11th.
I can take a hint.
I canceled the subscription request with SiriusXM and made the donation to you guys since your show was far better value and a better travel companion.
As a first-time donor, I'd like to dedouching and a shot of karma.
Since I have no idea what's going to happen when I tell my best friend I've fallen deeply for her around the time you guys read this from some northern cis admin.
Well, my friend, thank you so much, and I think you've made a very wise value for value choice.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Matthew Wilson in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
Came up with some math.
Came up with 111.
Matthew Heap, or Michael Heap.
Michael Heap in Somerton, Somerset.
Michael Warner in Vestal, New York.
Vestal?
Is there a Vestal, New York?
I guess.
Nick Kosterman, Oakville.
You've been there?
Nope.
Oakville, Ontario.
Hey, John, I'm donating even though I am a student.
I'm a fourth year at Ryerson in the business program.
My commute is amazing with the podcast.
Like some karma for my buddy Joey B on his new job.
And also call him out as a douchebag as he's...
What?
As he's become a big fan and not donated.
I don't know if it cancels each other out, man, but I'll try it for you if you want.
Douchebag!
You've got karma.
Eric is setting up noagendanation.com slash jobs as an alternative to Craigslist to create some sort of potentially a free way of looking for work.
So check that out.
Ray Metz, San Diego, California, now a donor, not a boner.
Needs some karma after his recent divorce.
You've got karma.
Robert Gold, Toronto, Ontario, needs karma.
Oh.
Roses are red, violets are blue, here's no agenda.

Robin Durden in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Also, Ryan M. Reich in Brooklyn, New York.
We're getting a lot of East Coasters this celebratory day.
Hi, John and Adam.
Sorry it's taking so long to donate.
I just missed the 11-11-11-11 slot.
I've been listening for about a year now, and you guys are great.
I was short on funds for a while because I was hit by a car while biking in a bike lane in April.
Ugh.
Finally found the guy despite poor data collection by the NYPD and got some money from the insurance company and now in physical therapy is a donation for my inconvenient payment from the insurance if I could have some karma towards finding a new job in the new year that would be great.
My friends got me into the podcast but I don't think they've donated.
You've got karma.
Dear Mr.
Adam Curry writes, Sahil Amin from Enola, Pennsylvania.
Hi, foremost I'd like to mention I'm making this donation in the name of my brother, Suril Amin.
Oh, okay.
So please dedouche him.
And yes, Suril, this is your birthday present.
Also considering I haven't sent a donation under my own name, please douchebag me.
That should be a dedouching.
Surreal and I have been listening to your show since day one when we read Dvorak's tweet about it or when you mentioned it on Twit or whatever.
I don't remember.
But we've been listening since day one.
I'm currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh and have been propagating the formula since day one.
Actually, technically before since day one because freshmen have a special orientation week since day minus seven.
Adam, I'm so glad you are moving to the land of the Longhorns, a.k.a.
the best college football team in the history of college football.
I would love if you could send my mom, dad, brother, and sister some karma, also my dad, brother, and I all have November birthdays, so if you could send our Y chromosome, which I have aptly nicknamed Dragon, a birthday shout-out, that would be most awesome.
So I'm going to give you a double shot of the de-douching of karma.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Salt River Studio in Plantation, Florida from Jamaican in New York.
Ah, the Jamaican in New York.
Mr.
Curry, please make it safely to Austin, Texas.
My hometown.
How does that work?
Look for the Jamaican on a green bike trying to kill himself in traffic.
That would be me.
Lessons can commence when you find me.
Yes, he used to give me Jamaican lessons in speaking Jamaican.
What is a Jamaican lesson?
How to speak Jamaican, man?
Okay.
On the daily source code.
I also would like to be de-douched and call out Eric McGregor as a douchebag.
Eric.
Douchebag.
And here you are, Jamaican and New York.
You've been de-douched.
Sam Lang.
Jump saw on the bandwagon from Toronto, Ontario.
Sean Thompson from Ackworth, Georgia.
Hi, John and Adam.
First time donor here.
I'm taking advantage of this great 11-11-11 day.
May I have a dedouching and I'd like to request karma for my startup company Electro Innovations with a K. I'm trying to get into the alternative energy field, but times are tight and no one seems interested in helping a fledgling company bring down big oil.
Thanks for all the great news you bring us.
Well...
Three words, my friend.
Zero point energy.
You've been de-douche.
You've got karma.
Karma.
Sebastian Nilsen.
Sorry, go ahead.
In parts unknown, starting donation Swedish time.
First, I need some quick karma for my lovely German-Russian woman, Anna, for her job searching here in Sweden.
Karma for her?
Hold on a second.
I wanted to make it extra special.
That's one hot elf, baby.
You've got karma.
Second, you should actually promote no agenda as a means to get chicks.
You make fun of it sometimes, but it's true.
Here's the angle.
Talking to a woman, giving her a glimpse of reality, a little bit of buzzkill, and most importantly, but in the right amount, some crackpot.
It's the key to success.
I think even the game confirms those ingredients just with other titles.
Backing all that up with the confidence of you knowing you're probably the only person in the room not being a slave, but a slaving knowing that he's a slave is priceless.
A slave knowing he's okay.
Also having the karma of being a one percenter and you're the one percent of the room that...
Gets lucky tonight.
How can you beat that?
I ask for a de-douching until I'm a knight.
Keep up the awesome...
Oh, I won't ask for a de-douching.
Sorry.
Oh, okay.
But he needs karma?
Karma shot.
No, she wanted karma.
Oh, she got the MILF karma.
Right, got it.
She got the karma.
Second Son LLC in St.
Charles, Missouri.
Good morning, John and Adam.
Thanks for the informative and entertaining perspectives.
A meager amount to be sure, but please accept the donation in the hopes that it will help keep the best internet...
Internet broadcast in the world up and running.
Best podcast in the universe, we like to call it.
Simon Ox-Toby in Queensland in lieu of blankets and water in the morning to you both.
Tim Winesery in Austin, Texas.
1111.
I've been listening to this since March 211.
And having laughed out loud one too many times, I can no longer remain a boner.
Adam, welcome to Austin.
Yeah.
I recommend going to the farmer's market and getting some fresh eggs.
Tom Boushey in St.
Paul, Minnesota.
Double nickels on the dime, plus 91 cents in change.
He managed to get...
Digging the couch to get the money to donate.
Then we drop...
We drop away from the classic 11111s to John Johnson II in Sedalia, Colorado, 9323.
Hi, John and Adam.
Donation brings my total contributions of the show to Knighthood, and he'll get it in a second.
Self-accounting is in the mail.
I'm sorry, John.
I think you missed a couple.
Oh, I miss Vernon White.
And Vivian Poole, yeah.
Oh, I did.
You're right.
Okay, Vernon.
Sorry, Vernon.
He's a black knight.
That's why he got missed.
Hail the foot.
Yeah.
And Vivian Poole, Memphis, Tennessee.
I've been trying to get this money together since my birthday in June.
Thanks, John and Anna, for the birth plus year plus age trick that got me started thinking about it.
It took so long because, like everyone else, I'm living the American dream, just getting by.
I finally made it in time.
Thanks for all the hard work on our behalf.
Give us some karma, she says.
Yeah, she and her whole family need it.
We met him in Shikshini.
Very nice people.
You've got karma.
During the Hot Pockets tour.
Yep.
Sir Schnorstein.
The only sane voice in the ocean of bullshit, he says.
Please send some karma to your northern most sir.
Thirteen weeks until we see the sun again.
Yeah.
There you go.
North Pole.
Why don't we go visit this guy?
We're gonna.
We're gonna go visit.
We're going to.
Thor Hanks in Seattle.
Thanks for making the end of Free Civilization entertaining.
It's true.
Longtime boner turned donor.
De-douche me, please.
You've been de-douched.
Andrew Gardner in Avenue, Maryland.
Binary 111111 is $63.
Best birthday wishes to his cousin.
We have her on the list.
Drop down one more.
Robert J. DeCastro.
Hey guys, I was supposed to check out your show and here I find myself hooked.
I realized that I was a boner.
And after being caught myself singing in the morning and douchebag to my six-month-old son, hey, this is good, I just sent in a previous donation for $50.11, but decided to throw in an extra $61 to make an even $11.11.
Very smart.
Requesting a double shot of karma for my family, of a wife and two kids.
While some of the things out of this show are too deep in the crackpot at times, I have to admit that I've become an avid listener.
Keep doing what you do.
Thank you very much, Robert.
Here's your karma shout-out for the fam.
You've got karma.
Robert J. Castro, 5790.
Daniel Thorley from Brighton, East Sussex.
Double nickels on the dime.
AC and JCD from Gitmo East.
Love your V.
Yes.
Thank you.
Kyle Kinzel, new donor from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Double nickels on the dime.
Logan Cato from Misala, Montana.
Hey, John and Adam.
Been listening for a few months up here in Gitmo Nation.
Grizzly Bear or Gitmo Nation Big Sky, which should it be.
I think Grizzly Bear.
I decided I need to become a donor, not a boner.
11-11 seems to be the perfect time.
I'm on a tight budget, being out of college and lacking a real job, so double dickles on the dime will have to suffice for now.
Thanks for a great show.
Can I get a de-douching and some karma?
Absolutely.
Thank you so much for doing that for us.
You've been de-douched.
You've got...
And we want to jump back to Craig Dash now from Tumwater, Washington.
Hello, John and Adam.
I'm an American in Australia with a fascist job.
And in my two weeks notice two weeks ago was later called by a job that I put in for a few days earlier.
So the karma I asked for worked.
Good.
Good.
No longer will I have to see people's papers.
So no matter what my wife says, here's some more money.
Yeah!
I'm sending this on 11-11-11.
By the way, have you checked into getting a bank account in Australia?
I asked this as I have to pay PayPal some extra money to give you.
I'm just saying.
Well, not yet.
It's not a bad idea.
No, I haven't done that yet.
Back to the bottom of the list, which was...
Philip Flick.
Hey, Adam and John, please refer to me as Brewer Phil.
There you go.
I hail from...
He's from Leawood, Kansas.
I give a nation green chill...
Chili.
And could use a double shot with an adios mofo to top it off because the office I work at is about to get axed by corporate.
Dunder Mifflin.
I'm seeking a job and I think the karma couldn't hurt.
This is not the last of my payments because I want to get to knighthood, but I can't get a ring before my girlfriend does.
Yeah, I know what that feels like.
Wait, hold on a second.
Stop the presses.
Give her a no agenda knighthood ring as an engagement ring.
Yeah, I think that would be perfect.
That is actually a great idea, John.
I think it's fantastic.
So he needs an adios mofo and a karma shot.
Happy to comply?
Adios, mofo.
You've got karma.
Ulrich, shh, shh, girl.
Shawgirl.
He's in Vienna.
Please quote me as Raphael the pool boy.
Good morning, John and Adam.
Here are the double nickels on the dime for all the value provided me during the week of the last couple of weeks.
Please give a MILF shout-out to my lovely girlfriend, Nicola.
MILF! Who has been working her sexy behind off as a veterinary surgeon during 70 hour weeks for the last couple of years.
Yikes.
I love her very much and it would be brilliant if you could send her a shot of karma to help her ascend to the ranks of the elite so we can escape eating sawdust and drinking fluoridated Kool-Aid.
It's silicon, actually.
You've got karma.
Gypsum!
Also, Michael Moran in Colorado Springs, Ulrich Hansen in Copenhagen, Robert J. DeCastro and Kent Washington, 50-11 for Robert.
Scott...
Lowen in the Colony, Texas.
That's where you are.
Yep.
I'd like to send out karma to my newlyweds, Scott and Jenny, who are married on 1111 at 222.
Many happy years.
Love you.
There's something I haven't heard yet.
Sending karma for wedding gifts.
What could be better?
Yeah, especially from the best podcast in the universe.
Happy wedding.
I think that's a great idea.
Sending karma as wedding gifts.
Karma rides.
Dennis, Denise, $50, parts unknown.
This is from ID Douching.
I was called out by Scott of Manville, New Jersey.
We're talking about a podcast called The Three Retards, hosted by the two of us.
We need Adam to say, you're listening to The Three Retards.
Okay.
You're listening to The Three Retards.
How was that for a jingle, huh?
How about...
You're listening to the three retards!
You've been a douche.
Oh, God.
I'm going to hell.
I'm going to hell.
Yeah, well, that was going to happen anyway.
Um...
Denise...
Or Dennis, sorry.
Dennis Denise.
We just did him.
Dennis Denise.
Scott Scanlon.
Carpentersville, Illinois.
50 bucks.
Matthew Nicole.
Brooklyn, New York.
Birthday shout-out coming.
Mike Westerfield at $50.
And that concludes a very lengthy thank you because we had a special moment in time and history.
Here's what we have to do.
You cannot donate anymore.
Donations are off.
Stop donating.
It's ruining the show.
Yeah.
Well, I can assure anyone out there who wants to sneak in as an executive producer that this next show is the time to do it.
Next week is the one to do it.
Exactly.
If anyone didn't fast forward through this, we're going to be in bad shape until Christmas because we had such a big 11-11 day, which was quite remarkable.
And we really want to thank people who got in on this.
And don't forget to join in on the essay writing contest, 25 Words or Less White.
You should get a free knighthood from the Baron.
Send it to noagenda at dvorak.org.
And again, the subject line has to say CONTEST in the caps.
Yes, and we have the 11-22-11 palindrome coming up, which should be good for some more super-duper karma.
And thanks to everybody who helped us out.
We always have slow times around this time of year, so this is definitely going to Help us get by.
But it also served a second purpose, which is the fact that Adam was traveling the whole time and probably didn't pick up as much kind of deep material as normal.
So this was the opportunity.
It wasn't a bad thing to thank all these people.
Also, I had to spend $1,700 on a new suspension.
This thing, it does 12 miles to the gallon.
What?
I know.
Are you talking about a great cruise?
Well, maybe if you weren't doing 100 miles an hour.
That was only the white sands to the checkpoint.
Anyway.
So, no more donations.
Dvorak.org slash NA. I feel a meeting coming up after the show.
And don't forget, I don't know what he's talking about.
We do need donations for the next show.
So, go to Dvorak.org slash NA. ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. No Agenda Show on NoAgendaNation.com and also you can go to NoAgendaNation.com slash jobs if you're looking for work and I think they're going to try to make something happen.
They're free.
And that's it.
We want to thank everybody who donated even the lesser amounts for this show.
It was quite nice.
Yes, and there's no denying.
You cannot deny that this karma thing is big.
People like it.
People get in on it.
People have good results.
I have not seen a negative anti-karma statement ever, I think.
I think one person two years ago said it didn't work and we gave them karma and then it worked after that.
Maybe they missed it.
I think it only lasts a week.
I'm still convinced of that.
That's right.
It's only good while stocks last.
Quick mention here, Diana Kennett.
I'm not sure if she was on the list, John, but she sent me an email so I just want to read it just in case.
I hope the $50 donation I sent made it to you okay.
Oh, I think it might have been under Diana Irwin, my maiden name.
My husband is a long-time listener of the show, and he got me hooked on it when we started dating.
We love listening to you guys, and since we started listening to the show, we can hardly stand listening to the corporate media shills.
I want to send a little something in honor of our first wedding anniversary, which is today, November 13th.
If you could give my husband, Kevin Kinnett, he's a brilliant software developer, KevinKinnett.com, a quick anniversary shout-out and a de-douching would be very much appreciated.
You've been de-douched.
Kevin, and I can promise you there's something else that Diana put here in her email.
You're going to be very happy later today.
And that does it.
Once again, everybody, thank you so much.
If we could get this kind of support every single week, we would do it five days a week.
Wouldn't we, John?
Yeah, I would say.
Yeah.
But, you know, that's probably not going to happen.
Divorce.org Slash NAM Alright, so first we start off with Craig's wife.
Says happy birthday to Craig.
And of course that's from the douchebag boys.
That would be us.
Andrew Gardner congratulates his cousin Erica Cerruti for her birthday, which is on the 11th.
Matthew Nicole's sister, Kristen.
Happy birthday!
Celebrates tomorrow on the 14th.
Rebulon's son, Ben, turns three next week.
And Sahil Amin sending out a Y-chromosome birthday shout-out to his dad, brother, and himself for this November.
Happy birthday on behalf of all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
And I'll have you know that everyone who celebrates a birthday and has been called out, as I mentioned, actually receives a birthday card, and I have to prop the shill for taking care of that.
It's a great service, part of noagendanation.com.
So we will have our three special Baron von Pelsmarkers, 11-11-11, knighthoods.
You just have to send in your 25-word essay to noagenda at dvorak.org, and in the subject line, what is it, John?
Contest?
Contests.
So that will be three special knighthoods which we'll be doing on Thursday's show.
And we'll read the best of the entries.
Oh yeah.
Make it entertaining.
That's why you do it.
And just to read the funny stuff.
That's the best part of it.
In the meanwhile, John Johnson II, please step forward, extend your ring finger, sir.
Very happy with your karmic donation to the show, keeping us rolling all the way to Austin, Texas, just north of San Antonio, where the earthquake machine was kicked in.
Kneel before me as I hereby pronounce thee, Sir John Johnson II, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Sir, you now join the very exclusive and elite club of the Knights at the Roundtable.
Here's your hookers and blow, your rent boys and chardonnay, or your hookers, I mean your hot pants and booze.
It's all good.
It's all here on the No Agenda show.
I need a break.
Let's play a little break.
Second half of the show.
Ready?
Okay.
Do I have your attention?
Good, because if you're a parent, you really need to hear this.
Quick or high, they think it's going to last longer.
It's more intense.
This is not isolated to any school, any city, any financial area.
This is everywhere.
When we heard how kids are getting drunk these days, we thought, no way.
So we hit up the experts to find out if it's an urban legend or if it's legit.
There's been documented cases of people going to the hospital with alcohol poisoning just from utilizing it that way.
Officer Chris Thomas spends his days patrolling the halls of a valley high school.
He's heard firsthand how kids are getting tipsy.
What we're hearing about is teenagers utilizing tampons soaking in vodka first before using them.
You heard right.
Teens taking tampons, soaking them in vodka.
And inserting them there.
It gets absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
There's no barrier, there's no stomach acid, there's nothing to prevent it.
I would expect it to absorb fairly quickly as well because it's a very vascular structure.
This is definitely not just girls.
Guys will also use it and they'll insert them into their rectums.
And that's not all.
Using a beer bong rectally is the same concept as a vodka-soaked tampon.
Yup, rather than the traditional beer bong you'd find at a college party, Kids are sticking the tube elsewhere to get wasted.
A lot of people believe that it would cover it up.
Your breath won't smell like alcohol, so you can hide it from the parents, hide it from the police.
But take it from this cop.
It won't work.
It's not just jail time that might be a problem.
These new tricks are really risky and could cause some serious trouble.
It can cause mucosal irritation, meaning the vaginal wall can be really irritated.
Plus, what if you overdo it?
Irritation could be the least of your problems.
Some of the dangers associated with this is there's no barrier.
And no gag reflex.
If it isn't going down the hatch, you won't have that telltale sign you've had too much to drink, which means you won't throw up if you've got alcohol poisoning.
You'll pass out before you know there's a problem.
It's problematic because you don't really know how much you're going to absorb.
We decided to find out.
Turns out a super tampon can hold about a shot of vodka, which is pretty potent when it's going straight into your system.
If a person does pass out or lose consciousness, healthcare professionals won't necessarily know that they have to look in those areas and that may delay treatment.
Okay, if I'm a parent of a teenager, what can I do to make sure these are used for the job they're intended?
Nothing more.
Well, then you need to get involved.
You know, stop being your kid's friend and be their parent first.
And one more myth we want to take care of.
Kids apparently think that getting drunk that way means they'll pass a breathalyzer test because they didn't actually drink the booze.
Not true.
The test checks out what's in your bloodstream, not what's on your breath.
Back to you.
Back to you, John.
Fantastic.
Deconstruct that.
This is all over the news this week for some reason.
I'm not sure why.
That's what I'm saying.
Deconstruct that.
There's got to be a reason for it.
There's got to be something coming up.
Yeah, I have been unable to figure it out, but I noticed the same thing.
This is being played everywhere.
I mean, somebody sent some press material out or something similar to that thing that you pointed out with the Conan show.
Well, either that or it's like the cigarettes, the limited ignition propensity.
Yeah.
There's something going on.
I wish I could smoke through my butt.
That would make my breath taste much better.
The chatroom loved it.
The chatroom loved it.
That smoke to your butt?
No.
The whole thing.
I love the whole thing.
I know you stymied me here.
There was a two to the head...
An obvious two to the head.
This, of course, is all part of Fast and Furious.
We've got to start cleaning up the mess now that, you know, by the way, we're the only people reporting on the congressional testimony.
John had the clips in the last show.
If you haven't heard 355, go to 355.nashownotes.com in the assets section on the JCD clips.
You can listen to it again.
We've got to get rid of it!
Another helicopter crash, this one in Mexico, has claimed the life of the country's interior minister, Blake Mora.
He was Mexico's point man in the fight against drug violence.
We don't yet know what caused the crash.
Yeah, sudden impact, loss of speed, stinger missile, who knows?
I mean, that's cleaning up the evidence there.
That's very obvious to me.
Those poor guys out there.
So I found an example of a thing that I talked about with Buzzkill Jr.
on Fox, which is a technology called boomerang persuasion.
Boomerang persuasion.
Interesting.
Yeah, we've kind of...
I never heard of the term for it, but we've discussed this before as we're like if you set up a debate between two people on one topic and you want the topic to go a certain way, you put somebody very reasonable on one side and the other one's a maniac.
Oh, okay.
Like this show.
It takes the other side.
Just to get them out, I'm going to read a couple of things here.
It's kind of an anti-persuasive argument.
For example, according to one report, if you insult all the values of the audience, they'll believe in their own values more.
And if you insult the values of the audience and attack some other new opinions and beliefs, they'll believe their own values and these new opinions and beliefs will be incorporated.
There's all these techniques.
And so Fox News does this sort of thing constantly.
They bring in these shills who say...
They had some guy on the other day who was a guy who was just a maniac.
He was like something going on about Obama.
He had one eye that was twitching and he had kind of a pinhead and he was just going on about how great Obama was.
Don Lemon.
Everyone else was a sleazeball.
So there's this one blonde who's a professor, I believe, at Pepperdine, but they never gave her a lower third, so I didn't write her name down, even though I've seen her two or three times on Fox.
And she's on Cavuto.
And you can hear the examples of turning, you know, taking the Fox audience and making them, you know, getting them to think a certain way about things.
If you listen to her, play that.
You got the Cavuto clip in front of you because I don't have the list right here.
You know, I think this goes too far.
I'm concerned about the employees at Walmart, the fact that they are putting profits above their own employees to the point where they're working on Thanksgiving Day.
I mean, this is what is wrong with corporate America.
This type of profits over people.
I actually heard...
I heard that they're chaining them to the stores themselves and they're not going to give them any food an entire day.
Well, close enough.
Why would you have them work on Thanksgiving Day if you don't have to?
Oftentimes employees want to work to get time and a half.
They want to get the extra hours.
Or to get away from their family.
Or to get away from their family.
And I'm thankful for Walmart.
Given that option, Jonathan, if you have a home life, you want to escape, or like me, you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, because the genocide of the Native Americans is not up my alley.
I don't like that connotation.
I would work...
But give them that option.
Don't require them to work on Thanksgiving Day.
I don't want to go too far afield here.
So you're not celebrating Thanksgiving.
Why?
Well, because I don't like the fact that we erase the genocide of the Native Americans upon which Thanksgiving is based.
That's my personal preference.
So I could actually work on that holiday.
But by and large, most people couldn't and they spend it with their families.
And I think Walmart should not be putting profits over people in such a brazen way.
By the way, do you eat any differently on Thanksgiving Day or no?
Well, I'm vegan, so I actually don't eat differently on Thanksgiving Day.
Wait a minute.
Most important question, John.
Was she hot?
She's very pretty.
Of course, of course, of course.
Wow, perfect.
But wait a minute.
She's vegan and hot?
She's, yeah.
Well, you know, it can happen.
I'm vegan.
I don't celebrate that.
She's a professor.
I don't celebrate the extinction of the indigenous peoples.
She says that Thanksgiving was actually created, by the way, we do this every Thanksgiving, we'll do it again on the show coming up.
It's a fake holiday.
A fake holiday.
But it's like, it was, and it had nothing to do with the Indians.
It was done as a, you know, Lincoln put it as to commemorate the deaths of people that died in the Civil War.
But she claims that Thanksgiving is not just a thing where the pilgrims and all the other bullcrap, but it was to celebrate the death, the genocide.
What college is she from?
I think she's at Pepperdine.
Well, Pepperdine, where surfing is an actual major.
Please.
Pepperdine.
She's a hot California girl.
By the way, I got an email from someone that on C-SPAN this morning, they had a super hot babe doing the call-in show.
C-SPAN, there's two extremely attractive women that work on C-SPAN. And by the way, we're not just being sexist.
We're not being sexist.
We believe that this is the ticket to ratings.
That's why we talk about it.
We're not being sexist because we're not getting dates with these women or we don't care.
But the fact of the matter is...
I got it.
I caught it.
I caught it.
I got it.
Don't honk the horn, please.
No, you need a double honking.
So anyway, the point is...
I think the point is also not good.
I think you can't say the point either.
That's not the point.
It's just your opinion.
My opinion is Adam's opinion.
As always.
Which is, if she's hot...
If she's hot, she's ratings.
But there's no ratings concerns at C-SPAN, so why would they put a hot woman on?
Hmm...
No, you got me on that.
I'm stumped.
Well, there you go.
Stumped, finally.
But yeah, there are two women I've seen.
One of them I've only seen once.
In fact, I sent you...
She's so outrageous that I sent you a text to turn on the C-spin.
And you were out gallivanting around at some bar.
Yeah, with a tampon.
That's me.
Anyway.
Alright, I've got to call it.
I'm going to call it right now.
Get out the red book.
No.
Within two weeks, 14 days from now, earthquake in Australia.
At least 20 whales were stranded on a beach today on the coast of Tasmania, Australia.
Marine mammal experts arrived with special equipment to try to help the whales, but most of them had already died.
It is unclear what caused the whales to end up on Ocean Beach.
Yeah, I can tell you, HARP. That's what always kills them.
They get those high frequencies, they get confused, they beach, they die.
This happened exactly the same thing happened in New Zealand.
Actually, it's the low waves that hurt the whales, not the high.
Oh, I'm sorry.
The low frequencies.
It's HAARP. You watch within two weeks, probably within three days, because it only took three days in New Zealand when the whales beached themselves, and then they had that horrible earthquake.
You said within two weeks?
Do you have two weeks?
What, are you going to change it?
You want to change it?
You want to move it closer?
I say days, not weeks.
No, keep it at two weeks, because we could have more whales or something.
Or nothing.
Nothing could happen.
Yeah, but that would mean I suck, so we're going to think it's going to happen.
I think it's going to happen.
I do have two clips which I kept from last week.
I have a little bit lengthier clip from, I think it's Barbara Boxer.
Oh, God.
And, you know, they've got this new program.
If you don't like getting groped by the TSA, and it has a name which eludes me for a moment, but she's so contrite and so, like...
Yeah, so, just ickety, this woman that I even put a little bit of her preamble before she gets to this fantastic program for trusted, oh, that's what it is, trusted travelers.
If you're a trusted traveler.
Oh, yeah.
It went, yeah.
Well, it started in October, so it's just rampant up now.
It only works at, like, two airports.
I mean, what's the point?
Well, it's going to be everywhere, because this is how you get the biometric passport in place.
This is how you get your special little ID with an RFID chip in it, and you're going to be a trusted traveler, a good little slave.
I'm pleased to call on...
Just listen, this Boxster woman is a douchebag.
The chairman of the Environment Committee.
Boxster.
Senator Boxster, she's very busy as we...
Very busy.
She's very busy, John.
She's so busy.
She's so happy because she actually had a double booking today.
We all are, but she's always there ready to go to work on the next thing.
Senator Boxer.
Senator, thank you so much.
And by the way, thank you for your support today and that important bipartisan markup.
This circle jerking that's on C-SPAN all the time is annoying me.
It's always thank you.
Thank you for your bipartisan time, your bi-curious outlook.
We have the highway bill.
Mr.
Chairman, this is a timely hearing.
I'm very happy to see you here, Mr.
Pistole.
I wanted to point out that I have a hearing at exactly this time over in a foreign relations on the violence in Syria, and as the chairman of a subcommittee, I'm going to need to leave, but I wanted to leave you with some very clear points, if I could.
In California, the travel and tourism industry employs more than 800,000 Californians.
A 2010 survey found that more than sixty percent of travelers Would take two to three more trips a year if the hassles in screening could be reduced without compromising security.
See, this is how it works.
Like, first make it really problematic.
This is the problem answer solution thing that David Icke always talks about.
They make it really problematic, really difficult, really annoying.
And then, oh, we have this little really handy solution for you, which, of course, tracks your ass everywhere.
Of course, that's...
The goal that you've been working on, sir.
At a time when our nation is suffering from 9% unemployment, the potential to increase demand and create jobs in our travel industry cannot be ignored.
And I wrote to the Administrator last November in support of his efforts to create a new Trusted Traveler program, and I'm excited about An announcement that I believe is expected shortly of an expansion.
A trusted traveler program not only has the potential to reduce the need for invasive screening of low-risk travelers.
I thought it was just like a picture, and now it's invasive screening?
Oh, really?
Now they're fueling you up, man.
It could also help TSA better focus resources where they're needed the most.
Oh, this is great!
Yeah, buses.
Yeah, yeah.
Buses of mass destruction.
Oh, it's the PreCheck!
That's what it is.
TSA Pre-Check.
Started in October.
And as I understand it, I'm not going to give away everything here because it's a surprise.
I want you to have the chance to do that.
We're going to hear about an expansion of this program to several other airports, including one very busy one in my state.
Well, she's a Californian, right?
right?
Yeah, she's from San Francisco.
So the very busy one would be LAX, I guess.
What other busy airports?
Ontario?
San Francisco is busy.
It's one of the major airports.
If that is right, and I'm right on that, may I thank you publicly for that, because I've been calling for this for a long time.
And I want to reiterate, no one who supports this ever wants to compromise security.
I was honored to be able to write the law that allows the pilots to carry guns in the cockpit to protect the aircraft.
I also wrote the language that expanded the air marshal program to long haul flights.
As we know, those flights were all long.
As we know, no air marshal ever did anything.
It's the public who did that.
So I am looking forward to hearing about this, reading about your testimony in support of the air marshal.
I'm done with her.
So proud of herself.
That was entertaining.
Well, it's...
maybe not.
It's annoying.
It's just...
I like to be annoyed by this woman so I can remember.
It's very easy to do.
Just listen to her any time she speaks.
Yeah.
All right.
You want to do your AC360 things?
Are those any good?
Because it's always...
Well, this is just light.
This is light.
Let's end on a high note, John.
Well, this isn't going to be a high note, but this is people, this is AC, Anderson Cooper came up with one, he's got this little ridiculous notes or whatever he calls it, where he plays this stupid crap.
Ridiculous.
And he, ridiculous, that's it.
You've been watching.
Oh, I'm a big fan of Mr.
Pooper.
And so he had apparently a lot of people call 9-1-1 with really idiotic complaints that they shouldn't be calling 9-1-1 for.
And this is it.
Play them in order.
And the funniest one is at the end.
According to authorities in Illinois, he called 9-1-1 to report, wait for it, that his iPhone wasn't working.
Wait for it.
Oh.
Why should you wait for it, by the way?
Because it's funny.
That's what comedians do.
He's not a funny guy.
His timing is bad.
I mean to say he called 911 five times to report his iPhone wasn't working.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
If only there had been some examples.
No, he doesn't know what I'm thinking.
I'm thinking.
He does not know what I'm thinking.
He doesn't know what I'm thinking either.
In fact, what were you...
Why does he say that?
He doesn't know what we're thinking.
What are you thinking right now?
I'm thinking he's a douchebag.
That's funny!
I knew what you were thinking!
Over the years, it might have taught Mr.
or Kopech, that 911 is to be used only in case of emergency.
I do think it's kind of funny that people think 911 is Apple customer service.
Apple care.
It's hilarious.
Apple care.
Oh, what's the next one?
Is another ridiculous?
The next one's funnier.
Now it's less Anderson Cooper than just a couple of clips.
People calling 9-1-1.
I paid $10 and these guys gave me one burger and a five.
I can't listen to that.
Does Pooper say anything?
He does on the last clip.
Can I just...
I'm interested in Pooper.
Okay, go to the last clip.
You won't let me play hilarious clips.
Yeah, okay.
911 emergency.
Let me get you to...
Sir, this is nothing the police are going to get involved in.
You need to take it up with the manager.
You cannot tell me I can call 911 and not get a cop right here.
You cannot tell me I can't get a cop right here at 86 in the Sunnyside Road.
I will sue your office right now!
This...
You know what?
I knew Green Gingrich is right.
We should be droning these people.
They have no reason to be around.
Now play...
Let me play this one.
I'm sorry.
Play the last one, which I think is number four.
No, we'll play this one.
I'll play three.
I'll play three.
What's the location of your emergency?
Let's not get into that yet.
Is it life-threatening or an act of crime in progress?
Crime in progress, possibly.
I was just growing some marijuana.
I was just wondering what the...
how much, you know, trouble you can get into for one plant.
I can't believe I'm laughing in an Anderson Pooper bit.
Okay, the last one is actually kind of amusing.
Thank you.
By the way, the last one had gone around the net a lot, but it's still funny.
I think I'm having an overdose that is still with my wife.
Overdose of what?
Marijuana.
Do you guys have fever or anything?
No, I'm just...
I think we're dying.
This is an old one.
What did you guys have?
This is like two years old.
That's what I just said.
But does pooper come on?
Yeah, he has a punchline, which is kind of...
I didn't know this part of it.
We made brownies, and I think we're dead.
I really do.
Time is going by really, really, really, really slow.
Let's just go in the Red Wing game.
Oh, the Red Wing score.
By the way, that caller?
A police officer who had confiscated the pot from suspects.
Yeah, it's true.
I knew that.
You did?
Yeah.
That's amazing.
He calls himself in?
What an idiot.
Yeah, well, okay.
So you're on par now with my dumb thing.
Okay, well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
We'll be here all week, everybody.
I think we need to get out.
We're overdue.
We've wasted enough time with our listeners.
We're overdue.
You're right.
All right, well, may I thank the fine people at Apple and the fine people at AT&T.
I shall call 911 in a moment and thank them for keeping the show on the air, as this entire show was done on a jailbroken iPhone 4 to tether via the Wi-Fi in the land of enchantment, New Mexico.
Good job, everybody.
That's actually amazing that you make that work.
Well, you know what?
With all the support we get for the show, why not?
It's worth it.
Thank you so much, Human Resources, for expending some of your valuable value listening to this program.
I hope we made your commute a little bit easier.
And the next time we will speak, I shall be in Camp Mofo, Austin, Tejas, coming to you from...
The land of opportunity.
The land of enchantment.
Right by the white sands in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
Yeah, watch out for the lightning bolts.
There's lots of it down there.
I'm in northern Silicon Valley.
I'm John C. Devorak.
We will talk to you again on Thursday, as said, from Camp MoFo in Austin, Tejas.
Right here, on No Agenda.
Export Selection
