Tip of the Day: Buy Your Own Plastic Produce Bags
Tire of the the crappy eco-plastic produce bags at the grocery store? They’re super flimsy and according to John Dvorak, they start to break down and rot in your refridgerator? This is becoming quite a problem in places like California where the fascist government controls the kinds of bags stores give away. As a solution, Dvorak suggests you just buy your own roll of plastic produce bags on Amazon.
Adam thought he didn’t have problem because in Texas, the H-E-B Grocery gives away quality plastic bags. John said, just give them time…
Get a roll of your own plastic produce bags from Amazon.

Tip of the Day: Silver Sharpies
Extremely handy for writing on anything dark like a power supply or a wine bottle; a silver Sharpie pen! John discovered these when he had to write on black floppy disks. Adam used them to write on studio mixers. This is definitely an Outstanding Product!
Back in the day when we tended to like all things goth, we used either gold or silver sharpies to decorate dark things or write on CD-R disks or mix tapes we gave to our friends. -
Deutschland 83 – Over the Wall and Under the Gun
Associate Executive Producer, Julianna Lee has a show tip, Deutschland 83 (86 & 89, too). By coincedence (I think, not!) I picked up Deutswchalnd 83 on DVD from my local library a week ago. It looks like an interesting cold war iron curtain drama about young East German spy-kids.

‘Breakdown 1975’ on Netflix
Adam and Tina are thoroughly enjoying Netflix’s documentary, ‘Breakdown 1975′.
Adam: And Tina and I were watching yesterday; we just came across it on Netflix, Breakdown 1975, which is…
John: Ooh, is it good?
Adam: Yeah, it’s very good.
John: Something I can watch?
Adam: Yes.
John: I’ve been watching Australian murder mysteries; it’s how bad it’s gotten.
So Breakdown 1975 is, it’s really, it’s a fractal is what it is. You’ll love it because they look at the year 1975 from a popular culture point of view. So movies and television primarily. And when you look at that time, it was so similar. We had scandals, we had Watergate, New York was a shithole, rats were everywhere. This is where movies come out like Taxi Driver, you know, Death Wish, Charles Bronson.
John: Blackboard Jungle.
Adam: Black, yeah, all of this stuff. And it’s very analogous to now, with the exception that it’s probably not quite as bad today as it was then. And what came out of this…
Yet, yeah. Well, and so maybe we’re a little bit late because by 1976, things started to change. And before you knew it, we had yuppies and we had, you know, Jane Fonda was doing workout videos, but it’s worth watching. It’s narrated by Jodie Foster, who was in Taxi Driver as I think a 13-year-old. And, oh, and they pinpointed it. This was interesting. They pinpointed, so they had Jaws. Jaws was a big change where they shifted from the bad guy winning to the good guy winning and blowing up the shark. And then as they claim in this, in this documentary kind of…
John: Yes, there was a period of time in the movies, especially where the anti-hero. Yes. Was the key. Was the winner. Epitomized by Steve McQueen in a number of films.
Watch Breakdown 1975 on Netflix.

Tip of the Day: Two Top Gins
John is watching the millennials and the older millennials are… they’re gravitating toward gin as like an after-dinner drink. He thinks they’re gonna end up drinking martinis. So people need to know what a good gin is.
In the year 2000 Dvorak was a judge at the International Spirits and Wine Tasting Competition. There were two gins vying for best gin–one was Tanqueray No Ten (his go to gin) and from Anchor (famous SF beer brewer) spirits division, Junípero.
Dvorak reports that the Tanquery No Ten gin ‘is a real killer’ and Junípero which is a very interesting product, because it is just concentrated juniper. It’s incredibly intense, and people should check it out. “You wanna blow away somebody with a martini using this stuff, you got something going on”.
