Ashley Slater, Choking Up over Tributes
Ashley Slater from Elk River, Minnesota, donated $303.57, describing the emotional difficulty of processing the tribute episode for John C. Dvorak. She noted that while she had more to say, "the words aren't wording," a sentiment echoed by many in the community. The hosts thanked her for the contribution and acknowledged the widespread sense of loss.
The hosts read a long list of Father's Day donations and call-outs from listeners in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK. One listener notes that high immigration fees to the Department of Homeland Security have limited their ability to donate. The segment includes several "de-douching" ceremonies for first-time donors and birthday wishes for members of the "No Agenda" community.
John Dvorak celebrates his birthday with listener donations and shares a "money-saving tip" regarding restaurant corkage fees. He suggests bringing a high-quality bottle of wine and offering the server a taste to potentially have the fee waived, a practice common in American dining.
The hosts read a list of donors, noting the significant fees taken by PayPal on each transaction. They highlight the "69 Club" (donors of $69.69) and explain that bank transfers are a more efficient way to support the show. Banter ensues regarding the "net" amount received versus the gross donation.
