Next, the VP debate! They discuss Sarah Palin and how she has been groomed for the debate and the job. This really riles John up.

Miscellaneous ramblings: Adam rants about the melamine scandal in China and the deaths caused by the cervical cancer vaccine. How about Warren Buffet pumping $5 Bn into Goldman-Sachs? Are they part of the shadow government? WaMu is in the news. The UK's largest mortgage lender is about to go belly up. What will Adam do with his gold bars?

The EFF is suing the government over a new copyright treaty and can't even talk about it. John wonders Why this is so secret. What does Rodney Dangerfield have to do with all this? Listen to hear about some expert witness cases John has worked.

Why are we discussing dishwashers? We now know more than the pros, including how to pronounce "drawer." We're off into the world of accents and idioms, ya'll.

Adam laments that the UK economy is in the tank. The answer? Drink more! Let's discuss British politics and the Office of the Exchequer. Somehow this merges into the U.S. being the Saudi Arabia of coal and wind power.

Adam investigates Bill Gates and claims he won't be winning any Nobel Peace prizes for his foundation. Is Bill Gates Mr. Burns?

From Gitmo Nation, it's your weekly tuneup -- No Agenda! Some excellent news from Adam, we've reached over 100,000 listeners per week! Uh, oh - the bad weather has hurt the wheat crop, what will the crop circle aliens do now? Will food prices come down once they've gone up? More bad news, 89,000 Britons stranded as XL Travel goes belly up in the UK. John wonders why this news tops the Lehman Brothers collapse. Adam brings up the greenies and the CO2 tax. Adam's new theory: the Georgia invasion is part of the "drill oil, baby, drill" mentality to destroy the entire banking system and, gasp, population reduction?

After Adam points out the latest Chunnel accident, we get sidetracked into terrorism and John asks, are the new laws against liquids on aircraft really against terrorism, or is it a great plot just to keep people from overpacking? Adam's new show: "To Hell In A Handbasket!" Real stories of executions live on TV!

How does this tie into Obama's "lipstick on a pig?" John wonders about Obama's insult about "stinky fish." No one will touch that one. Adam claims this whole celebrity culture idea is hurting the Obama camp and John seems to agree. John: "There's no reason the Republicans should win this election, and the Democrats are delivering nothing on their Congressional promises from 2 years ago."

Now that Fannie May and Freddie Mac have gone into the dumper, this so big that no one know hows to unravel all these derivative deals. How many have made millions from Bear Stearns and Lehman Bros. going into the tank? Is the fix in? John suggests hyperinflation so it can all be paid off with bogus money. Maybe this will be the new bubble decade. Adam wants to know "where the next bubble is." John claims the Chinese are threatining to "call in" in the debt.

Bill Clinton says Obama will win handily. John thinks Obama looks gassed. Is this because Bill doesn't want Hillary in the 2012 race? John has some entertaining theories about who wants Obama out of the race. Adam backs this trend up with some good ideas of his own. Adam asks John, "Who is Cynthia McKinney?"

Adam brings up another conspiracy theory about the 757 that "hit the Pentagon" -- it didn't crash but released a missile, then flew on according to the "recovered, rebooted black box." John has some good arguments, and Adam asks, "then what really happened to Flight 93?" Adam does have one valid point about "evil people" in business. We'll leave it to the listener to pick it out.

From the Thames to Northern Silicon Valley, it's No Agenda!  First up, it's the 18th birthday party for Adam's daughter, complete with club, bouncers, free drinks and 80's theme.  John will celebrate his 18th birthday soon.

John claims to have predicted Sarah Palin (Tina Fey?) as VP some months ago.  And then claims Obama still has no chance to win.  Adam brings up Obama's speech, the great venue and how the whole thing looked like a rock show performance.  Do the Dems have the clout to elect anyone they wish?  John hedges a bit by saying he thinks it could be so.  Why is everyone following Karl Rove on Fox?  We'd better keep an eye on Joe Biden as well.  John goes back to the Kennedy years to draw some analogies.  Did you see the Free Speech Zone?

Adam switches to the financial times.  Have we hit the bottom yet?  John claims we have, Adam says we're not even close.  Will the market hit 6,000?  How about Sarah Palin and all that Alaskan oil?

Newspeak:  "Hey John, do you know what?  Right?"  Guess what?  John isn't too happy with it.  Well here's what Adam feels about this...

Adam delves into high-end food and the choices available in some new stores in the UK, like Marks and Spencer.  John recommends Fortnum and Mason for some great packaged food and ideas.  

From here it's a 180 into the worst economy in 60 years, expecting over 1,000,000 job losses.  Lehman Bros. has lost over 36 years of profits in the last 18 months.

How do we get from that to alien encounters? First, would Adam feel anything in the presence of these 'beings'?  Yes, the particular Pleidians with whom he has come into contact really like strawberry ice cream.  They're here to help us get by these tough transitional times.  Adam needs some kind of proof, they need to give him something concrete.  And for that Adam has received a message that for this October 14, from Alabama, they will surface a vessel for 48 hours.  John googles and finds the GFL spaceship (claimed by Blossom Goodchild) will appear over Alabama for 3 days.  Well, there you go.

John swerves into the dreaded British Tourist, who, in his haste to escape the totalitarinist camera-ready society, is willing to go bonkers in foreign countries.  "All they do is vomit, cross-dress and cause fights."  Adam counters, "This is what happens when, as a British citizen, you're searched 3 to 4 times per week and put up with all the other atrocities that take place in the UK."  He claims it's all Margeret Thatcher's work. Adam says that this was the beginning of the end, and he just may be correct.

From the 2 separate corners of Gitmo Nation, it's time for No Agenda with Scully and Mulder!  Back from SF, Adam has a good tale of his travels through customs and TSA.  Is it a bad deal when Customs and the TSA get to know you?  Apparently there's an Evil Adam Curry in Nebraska.

We switch to the U.S. / Canada agreement to join forces in the event of military action against either.  John moves off to the Russia - Georgia conflict. Who are the bad guys in this mess?  Could it be Georgia?  John has the facts and an entry from the blog.  Adam brings up the Holland connection and John interrogates a Georgian.  Is Condoleeza Rice stupid?  Somehow Obama gets thrown into the mix.  Another blog entry has Fox News video from a Georgian mother and daughter.

Adam brings up Fox News And Friends, and what a 'wonderful, unbiased' show it is.  Even John has some interesting comments about this one.  Are you a right wing or left wing blogger?  Let's just gen up a script for opposing views.

Back to Georgia/Russia, why wasn't anyone paying attention to the coup in Mauritania?  About 30% of China's oil comes from Mauritania.  Why is there a George Bush avenue in Tblisi?  There must be hundreds of photos of Bush in this city.  John wants to visit.  Nigeria seems to be under guerrilla attack - maybe it's a Nigerian scam.

Poland has agreed to let the US install nuclear missles.  This just might tweak the Russians a bit, but may be a preemptive move against the Russians in Cuba.  Adam brings up the notion that the US wants China to invade Russia.  John wonders why the Olympics may be the first time George Bush has been out of the country.

Restaurant review -- Larkspur Steak House -- and we enter through a mall?  Have you heard of Bradley Ogden? Goodbye bottled water, yea!  Famous horseradish?  Nothing remarkable at this restaurant, move along.

Adam recounts the kids trials and tribulations for public transportation near Paris.  What do you do when your child's phone dies at 01:30 in Paris?  Adam freaks out.

Let's talk about airlines, the crazy laws that regulate international vs. national flights, and Jet Blue vs. Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America.  So much for our "free market" for airlines.  John claims to be able to upgrade to 1st class for $50 on Virgin flights.  Adam gets some great service from Virgin.  How about some pole dancers?  Hey, where's my bag?  How is it possible, with all this war on terror and TSA stuff, do people manage to smuggle tons of drugs?  You can't bring your laptop, but a pound of drugs gets through all the time.

The economy of Spain is collapsing, says Adam.  John Googles and finds, "The Spanish government cancels holiday due to economic collapse."  It looks like the construction industry is to blame.  The pound took a beating against the dollar.

Adam finally gets to the Clinton story and the leader of the Democratic party and super delegate in Arkansas, Bill Gwatney, who was murdered last week.  How many friends of the Clintons have died so far?  This story goes way back, at least 50 people dead, and none by tylenol.  Also this week, the DNC concedes there will be a roll call vote at the convention.  Is this a message to the super delegates?  The Rothschilds seem to be pulling for Hillary Clinton.  Will Hillary win the nomination by intimidation?

John brings up the Ubisoft Tom Clancy free download game "America's Army" which he and Adam think is an indoctrination to recruit 12 and 13 year olds into the Special Forces, much like the movie "Starfighter."

Once again, from the UK and the Pac NW, it's time for No Agenda.  Are you an Olympic addict?  John isn't too excited but Adam is ready.  Maybe it's the costumes and the ratings.  How clean did the Chinese manage to get the air (er, mist).  Adam is coming to the US for another Olympian sized adventure through Customs.  What kind of tricks are in store?  This leads to the White House and falsified documents for the Iraq invasion.  Adam has some interesting perspectives from the UK standpoint.

Suddenly we're in Africa with the Currys ca. 1968, with some stories and conversion of Super8 to DVD.  John wants to know about the transcription process and how long will this media version last?  Cripes, we're drinking flavored tea!  Great, more cameras in UK grocery stores so 16 year-olds can buy booze and can't buy paracetemol.  And now we have more erosion of free speech rights in the U.S.  Why is the John Edwards story so important in the UK?

Adam has more UK politics and brings up Obama being 'booed' and Paris Hilton's video.  How is that affecting politics in the UK?  John does some research about both stories and wonders why Edward's affair with Rielle Hunter isn't the UK news?  Adam: She's not hot!  Adam moves on to the Bruce Ivens suicide.  How does this fit in with Nicola Tesla?  Oh, no, energy is all a global conspiracy.  John brings us back down to earth with physics and "Maybe it's the water in Britain" or island fever.  What's next?  Anti-gravity?

Let's go back to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.  Adam says the UK is going into bankruptcy.  John's tip: Wait until after the election to invest.  Has Obama already won?  Will Hillary contact the superdelegates and convince them to vote for her?  John asks, "Did Obama ever have a real job?  [Ed. No]  Is this man ready to direct the US?"  John's prediction: Both Hillary and Obama are unelectable.

John brings up his idea that McCain may have hired a professional humor writer, re: the Obama Tire Pressure Policy.  How about the Republican tire pressure gauge labeled The Obama Energy Policy?  And Obama counters with a gem.  Who actually produced the now-famous Paris Hilton Energy Policy video?  John cites the chronology of these YouTube videos and which party they support.  Who wrote and produced these gems?  Adam thinks some ideas may be taken from George Bush speeches.

The Skype software debug (21 minutes) is complete, so let's start the show with a comparison of Mac and PC.  Then try to get a website that compares the best cellphone plans.  Adam gets a 'twitter bomb' from drop.io with an experiment.

Let's discuss another layer of government that oversees the intelligence agencies.  This is not a good thing.  Is the financial system in the US about to end?  John reveals he uses a wooden computer as a rebellion against oil, and Adam counters with conspiracies about the banking systems.  What will prop up the value of the dollar?  John thinks it will be a major price drop for oil.  Adam counters with the actual costs of delivering a barrel of oil.

Both argue about the current housing and lending trends. You can't get a mortgage today, is this whole thing rigged?  Talk about salesmen - Adam tells us about the lenders in the UK.  Have you ever heard of Lyndon LaRouche?  "The dollar is going to collapse."  John claims we're already at the bottom, but Adam proclaims it's still gloom and doom.  Will the government bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?  How about the auto and airline industries?  John moves us into public transportation and why it's behind the times.  And now for something completely different in transportation, suggested by Adam.

Adam mentions the Anthrax Guy and his 'suicide'.  These crazy guys go right for the murder and conspiracy theories.  Was the autopsy rigged?  Was it the Russians?  The Chinese?  Who is Jill Dando?  Adam has the answer, and it's a good one.  Uh oh, they switched police chiefs!

How about the hydroxy booster for the home?  Adam thinks it's great and John says it's all BS and next we get a chemistry lesson about margarine.  Can you store H₂ in a brick?  Just wait until your car catches on fire from a "rupture proof" 10,000 PSI hydrogen tank.  John has an interesting story about cat screeching and hydrogen cars.  That and a rusty tailpipe.

We're back to Lyndon LaRouche and his webcast.  We're all gonna die!  And dying may be less difficult than tweaking open source software, including today's Skype linkup.

John wants to talk about Obama and Letterman's new deal, the "Annoying Word Of The Day."  Letterman's first candidate word?  Veep-stakes, the vice president sweepstakes.  There are, what, 75 different media references to this?  And let's not forget "Great Moments In Presidential Speeches."  How does this tie into Star Trek?  And who is Max Mosely?  You'll have to listen to this one, it's not bloggable.

China's not doing a great job of cleaning the air for the Olypics, yet they make a lot of the pollution control devices for us.  Here's why you want an electrostatic precipitator.  Have the Olympics slowed down the Chinese run to freedom?  "Doom" seems to be a good business.

Once we enjoy our very expensive trip through the Chunnel, we're off to the Black Cross motocross race.  Adam goes for a crazy hydrogen boost gizmo to boost his gas mileage, and it actually seems to work.  John's a bit skeptical, "What will you do with it?"

Adam tells John about the "Eurotom," the EU Atomic Energy Community and how they seem to be above the law.  How does this tie into Project Camelot?  Is everyone a "nutter?"

Let's get on with the "theories."  We'll tie 9/11 in with a new huge UFO event and the "grays."  The ships are here, with the bases on the Moon and the Men In Black.  How about the new $3.9Bn government orders for H1 flu?  We're all going to die!  John is "gobsmacked" and wonders where all the product placement for No Agenda is?  [Ed. this whole tale gets the Official Cage Match Seal Of Approval].

Adams bring up the headlines, "The robot that is Barack Obama hits Europe!"  What the heck is Obama thinking?  John has a good story about the Obama teleprompters, his newsman style and the "blown heroin line."  What is a neo-liberal?  John's favorite Obama lines, "My mother grew up in the heartland of America, but my father grew up herding goats in Kenya," and "As we speak, cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the icecaps in the Arctic,  shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic and bringing drought to farms from Kansas to Kenya!"

Adam wants to talk about the ISPs and possible new deals in Britain between artists and labels.  The Rolling Stones, on Mick Jagger's 65th birthday,  leave EMI and take their entire post-1971 catalog with them.  As other artists bolt, Adam predicts EMI will roll up and die, it's the beginning of the end for record labels.  This leads to the British ISPs spying on P2P users to report them for piracy.  This may become a new "Three Strikes and You're Out" law.  What a bunch of crock. (As John enters that epithet into his lexicon.)

This leads John and Adam into agreement about something -- earbuds are a bunch of crock.  A good discussion of high-end audio systems ensues.  Who knew John and Adam would be proponents of large speakers and the open air listening experience?  Somehow Adam leads this back into the hydroxy booster and more discussions of auto engineering.

Uh-oh, Adam's thinking about adjusting the computer parameters that control engine functions. John may be skeptical [Adam's a nutter] but agrees to look into it.  Johns swings this into a discussion of Ebert and Roeper and whatever happened to the great franchise "2 thumbs up?"

John hypes Craigsfindr, a neat utility his son Aric created for finding things on all the Craigslists.  Adam thinks it's cool.

This show just might get 2 thumbs up -- Queue the closing credits -- We hope you enjoy the show!
