A long-time listener and former associate of the show, Dexter, donated $241.19 after selling his two vape companies.

The hosts thank Executive Producer Robert Dexter Dieter and Associate Executive Producer Stuart Venable for their significant financial contributions to episode 1031.

The hosts critique a CBS News report by Holly Williams on Russian cruise missile strikes in Syria, noting the heavy use of "sweetening" (background music and sound effects) to manipulate viewer emotions. Adam Curry announces he will be attending a vape convention in Houston, which he describes as a cross between Comic-Con and a porn convention. The episode concludes with a final "In the Morning" sign-off and a warning to wash hands after "touching anyone on the internet."

Dexter Moloch, a former associate of the hosts, has entered the "vape liquid" business in the European Union. He specializes in importing high-end liquids from the Bordeaux region of France, capitalizing on the growing market for flavored nicotine delivery systems.

The hosts claim that the writers of the TV show *Dexter* are listeners of No Agenda, citing the use of the phrase "hookers and blow" in a recent episode. They jokingly request "Dexter" baseball caps and other swag from the production team in exchange for the shout-out.

Recent episodes of popular television shows "Dexter" and "The Mentalist" are noted for propagating police state themes. "Dexter" featured a "see something, say something" message with unusual audio cadence, while "The Mentalist" explored the concept of "pre-crime" and arresting individuals before they offend. These instances are viewed as examples of media being used to normalize surveillance and preventative policing.

Journalist Dexter Ford was reportedly fired from Motorcyclist magazine after writing an article for the New York Times that criticized current motorcycle helmet safety standards.
