Dude, that was just wrong. Who do you think you are? William Shatner?
Yeah, that was very crazy-Shatner-esque.
John, just remember, wives don’t belong in pools. Ever.
JCD cuts loose!
Groucho Marks is going to haunt Dvorak for life.
The Woolite and Mucinex commercials were the highlights.
I thought that was entertaining. I KNOW THAT GUY!
Also noticed the ad. Get ready for some of the same for No Agenda, since no one over there seems to get the concept of a pledge drive.
Why does PBS have money and No Agenda doesn’t? PBS has a clue and figured out how to do an effective pledge drive.
free discount? thank god last time i hav to pay for one of those. sign me up!
Looks like Leo LaPorte type silly comedy.
…..never did like silly.
4 Stars
It starts off bad, then becomes so-bad-it’s-good, then it’s just fantastic.
Need a long-hair blond wig, and shorten the electrical tape on the lip down to a nice Hitler square.
I guess that’s one way to nail Nexus for short battery life.
Hmm, taken in Leo’s barn, no doubt.
You gotta love the duct tape mustache. How much does it hurt to remove?
Holy Schmoley! That was funkin funny! Why to go John!
We met back in Sonoma County in 1967
I’m having visions of a whole Tech Hippy Netcasting Network with 22 shows, like Leo’s,

Go for it dude!
Ok that was funny… don’t quit your day job but still funny.
Doing the ad was priceless!
More! You’re making more sense than Jim Goldman.
Cagematch between the Tech Hippy and the Tech Grouch needed.
Old hippies like JCD’s lampooning are still around in towns like Bloomington IN, Taos and Santa Fe NM, Boulder CO (Nanoo Nanoo), and Eugene OR. It’s amazing how many of them are still stuck in the 60s.
Mevio needs a makeup and costume department. John you need to use your characters to do a Apple/PC ad parody on a split screen.
Damn… did Tech Grouch quit? I loved him.
I’ve never been partial to smelly hippies. At least Tech Grouch has an excuse (no shower in the shack).
