In the first episode since the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry returned to the microphone on the No Agenda Show, joined by special guest Sir Deucifer, Rob Dew of AlexJonesLive.com. Broadcasting from Fredericksburg, Texas, the episode, titled "Just Dew It," was published August 20, 2026, exactly one month and a day after Dvorak's death. Curry opened the show by framing the entire news cycle as being shaped by the upcoming midterm elections, a throughline he argued connects every story discussed.
The two-hour-plus conversation covered a range of flashpoints, starting with the morale scandal aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Reports of moldy showers, broken toilets, and a sailor going overboard after 250 days at sea in the war with Iran dominated headlines. Curry read a dispatch from a Navy aviator disputing the coverage, then shared his father-in-law Earl's blunt take from Vietnam: "I was in Vietnam for 8 months, slept in a pup tent for 3 months during the rainy monsoon season, period. Sailors are sissies." Dew countered with a viral Marine drill instructor clip, arguing the modern services have traded grit for grievance procedures, and suggested that family members, not sailors, are driving the media narrative.
The episode also examined President Trump's shift from bombing Iran to an economic blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicting that pipelines will make the strait irrelevant. Domestically, the federal debt hitting $40 trillion was a key topic, alongside Bitcoin surging past $72,000 and the Genius Act's stablecoin rollout. The Texas data center boom was also discussed, with Curry citing state Senate testimony on 500 proposed gigawatts of data center power chasing stranded wind capacity in the Panhandle.
Other stories included the Keystone XL revival, Alberta's October 19 independence referendum, Ukraine's 800-drone assault on Russia, and UK-supplied weapons hitting Wildberries warehouses. The conversation also touched on Judge Napolitano's interview with Max Blumenthal regarding the Ankara decoy flight. Dew connected the newly unsealed indictment of former SPLC CFO Heidi Beirich to a 2013 FBI Boston field office assessment labeling Alex Jones a racially motivated extremist, citing FOIA documents analyzed by former agent Kyle Seraphin.
Curry's return marks a significant moment for the podcast, which has been a staple of independent media analysis for years. The show's focus on deconstructing media narratives provides listeners with an alternative perspective on the news, and this episode continues that tradition with a deep dive into the stories shaping the current political landscape. For those interested in the intersection of media, politics, and culture, this episode offers a comprehensive overview of the week's events, all filtered through the lens of the coming midterms.
The No Agenda Show, known for its sharp commentary and humor, remains a listener-supported podcast that takes a skeptical look at mainstream media. Episode 1896 is now available wherever podcasts are heard.
