John C. Dvorak:
You're watching too much CNN to catch this.
Jingle:
Adam Curry. John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry:
It's Thursday, June seventh [7th], two thousand twelve [2012]. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assignation Episode four one five [415].
Jingle:
This is No Agenda.
Adam Curry:
Preparing for space-sponsored terror attacks, here at Camp Mofo in the capital of the drone star state, Austin, Tay-Hoss. In the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry.
John C. Dvorak:
And from Lookout Point, over the San Juan de Fuca sanctuary, in northern Washington, where the USA beats Canadia, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Jingle:
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
In the mornin'
Adam Curry:
It like rains or pours with you. Either we get a full-on stinger or it's like ugh. Anyway. You're in Studio B.
John C. Dvorak:
Studio B. I've got to add that.
Adam Curry:
Actually, to the end of whatever that was. The connection actually sounds pretty good, I have to say.
John C. Dvorak:
At the moment.
Adam Curry:
The whole family is up there? The kids? Mimi? Everyone's up there? All good?
John C. Dvorak:
Jay's graduated from high school.
Adam Curry:
She had the ceremony?
John C. Dvorak:
Yeah. We had it yesterday. Last night
Adam Curry:
Ahh. Was it fun? That must have been nice.
John C. Dvorak:
It actually wasn't bad. She gave a little talk. This was kind of funny.
Adam Curry:
Wait. Is she valedictorian?
John C. Dvorak:
There is no valedictorian at these hippie schools.
Adam Curry:
[laughs]Wait. I thought she was home schooled.
John C. Dvorak:
No. No. She was home schooled until she got to high school age and then she went to this school.
Adam Curry:
Oh.
John C. Dvorak:
But, straights a's. The top student, of course, because why? She was home schooled.
Adam Curry:
That's why? Because she was home schooled. But, of course, but not valedictorian because the hippie school she went to doesn't have that.
John C. Dvorak:
But, she did get the award for scholarship.
Adam Curry:
Oh!
John C. Dvorak:
But, she's taken a lot of improve. And she does a lot of drama, so she has to give a small talk. Just a short minute and a half speech of some sort. We're looking at it, reading it,
and she's trying to be funny. Both Mimi and myself were going over this and we're going over this and saying, "No, no. This is no good. You can't do this. You've got to change this line."
Adam Curry:
Hey kid. You're not funny. Okay?
John C. Dvorak:
You're not good. This is not going to work. So, she tells us to shove it and she gives the little speech and kills!
Adam Curry:
Really! Everyone loved it!
John C. Dvorak:
Yeah. They almost gave her a standing ovation.
