The renewed calmness of Curry from a couple episodes ago disappeared fast.
He keeps wandering into the danger zone where he’s just plain factually incorrect because he rants without thinking.
That’s why I stopped listening to all his conspiracy crap long ago. It’s not worth listening for John’s voice of sanity amongst all the lunacy any more.
Not that I don’t like Curry, but it would be nice if he could pipe down a bit. It becomes too much and I can no longer bear to hear the entire show. And I’m even one of them who is on the ATS forum.
They have lost the balance that was so good about NA, but I think Mr. Dvorak is aware of this. Curry seems like he is hovering in blissful ignorance of its own Limitation.
Well, it would take a *lot* for me to quit listening to the show, because the information is so good.
But I definitely can’t recommend it to anyone anymore.
The Enbrel rant from both of them was simply dumb.
My wife got serious Rheumatoid Arthritis at 50 and was basically crippled, even bed ridden and not able to walk, for 3 years! Her life has gradually changed back to normal over the past 12 months and she is now in full time work again – due to the immunosuppressant character of Enbrel. It cost ~USD 35,000 a year but worth every penny, luckily partly covered by private insurance.
For those with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, yes – Enbrel will control the inflammatory response and actually help you to get your normal life back! So John – it is actually damned right for you!
I have enjoyed the show since day one, is a 1%er even a Sir with a son as Sir too, and truly enjoy your deconstruction of “the news”. You are good at that. But seriously, when you go into rants about biology, chemistry, vaccines and pharmaceuticals, please cool it down bit. Sometimes you have to understand that you have no fxxxxxg idea what you are ranting about!
Weather Underground is a great website. They have a very fine collection of weather maps. Their photo galleries are just outstanding. They do have some blogs, but I never looked at any of them until Adam mentioned it. Whether or not they have any particular agenda — who knows?
…regarding drug ads…I think that there are a number of GREAT new drugs out there, but I hate the ads on television, and think they are open to being mocked.
The drug ads — you should look at WOMEN’S magazines, holy cow — are over the top. When pharma ads account for the top 3 in advertising dollars spent, it is too much. Why, was my question. So, turns out the pharma conglomerate believes (with some fact) that if you get the name of the drug in the ear of the consumer they will ASK the doc about it. Since the docs are high pressured by the cute, busty drug sales lady (always unless the doc is gay and/or female…then they send in the incredibly hansom, fit male sales dudes)they’re getting it from both sides — so they prescribe it (not to mention some big practices get huge perks for whomever can write the most scripts of a certain drug).
So, the ads are being broadcast to all 310million people in America, when only 2.3million people suffer from RA. (And, of those 2.3mil, 2/3rds of them are female.)
I can see advertising consumer products, because all but a very small number of us use things like food, and toilet paper, and soap, and laundry detergent (and I wouldn’t want to meet those who don’t use those things).But, to advertise to such a small group — is flat out stupid.
RA is one of those things which has such a wide variation in symptoms, and in some, remission and flare ups are the hallmark, that it is NOT something for which the drug works 100%, not in everyone, and perhaps not to the degree that your wife’s response was (plus, there may be an increased placebo effect due to the media ads).
I think it’s open game for NA to make fun of the stupid, stupid ads. Make them go away, and lower our health and drug costs!!!
i dont have a really big problem with adam talking so much. i think adams just more “on fire” and johns more cold.
was funny though, i was skipping through the episode looking for a particular rant and every time i stopped to listen, all i heard was adam yelling
he must interrupt clips like 30 times in a row. also, not complaining, but i see what people are talking about 
This show is no longer “No Agenda”. Adam proves every time, he has an agenda. He looks for facts to fit his twisted theories, while ignoring facts that don’t. It’s always the fault of others, never his own stupidity.
This is BS…sometimes Adam spends a lot of time digging up stuff and he blows it out on the show. Unless I find it objectionable I let him do it. This is especially true if he has clips I have not heard. And I thought the CBS gaffe was funny. Not seeing the big deal overall. I got all my material in.
And exactly what, specifically, is Curry’s “Agenda?” Would someone tell me.
currys agenda is to get everyone in the wold to throw their shoes! this would be great news for horowitz (sketchers!)
Check the sells figures on electric cars. Two of the better known modals didn’t even sell 2,000 cars combined. If these are the cars of the future why do they have sells that stink? Green jobs anyone?
Adam missed a good conspiracy theory. The NASA climate satellite that crashed was taken out so it couldn’t prove that man made global warming is a hoax.
I do hope Adam can find some way to cover his bills.
You might think whatever you want about the Libyan thing, but when you see chavez & Sean Penn supporting Kahdaffy, you know most of the things being said about Libya are true.
BTW Nick, great art once again.
John, they were in Venezuela. They are long gone. In fact, the site you refer to posted the info once it was known they were gone.
Aww Shut your piehole, Dvorak! Go cry about it on your own blog. Oh. Oh this is your blog. So sorry. Well you can certainly understand my confusion. You’re so rarely the one posting the stories. I mean, It’s not like you let other people do the work. That stuff you do about no spam is great, just great. And that thing how you say crazy off the mark shit about Tech. That’s…well that’s just awesome. I don’t think I’ve seen better parody written since National Lampoon. And in all seriousness, don’t let people bitching about Adam on the show bother you. Some people just value their time a little differently than you do. I mean I don’t have time to watch every shitty show on television just so I can record a few seconds of it to prove it’s shitty. You’re a warrior. Just a real warrior. You ever think about writing a book? I mean one about maybe an operating system after Windows 95? I’m having a real stinker of a time with Windows ME. Thoughts? Prognostications?
Good!
