Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 1229 of the No Agenda show on March 29, 2020, broadcasting from Austin, Texas, and Silicon Valley. They discuss the status of the Zephyr train and express gratitude toward truck drivers and IT professionals maintaining internet bandwidth during the early COVID-19 lockdowns. The hosts introduce the theme of the episode as "Counting Masks."

The hosts argue that the internet was never "neutral" and grew through complex peering and transit agreements. One host shares a personal grievance with Comcast, claiming the ISP shapes traffic to favor businesses during the day and only provides full speed to residential "users" after 5:00 PM.
