Topic: Donation Spreadsheet

The hosts thank Sir Slough for the episode artwork and discuss the "No Agenda Art Generator." They address a significant issue with the donation spreadsheet, noting a lack of recorded contributions despite the show's 9th anniversary. They decide to postpone the full donation segment until the following Thursday to resolve the technical errors.

The hosts reiterate that the donation segment is being moved to Thursday due to a major spreadsheet error. They explain that many $99.99 anniversary donations were missing from the list. They emphasize the importance of their direct-support model to avoid the fate of hosts like Glenn Beck who rely on vulnerable advertising revenue.

The hosts experiment with "new speak" terms such as "native incumbent citizen privilege" and "non-disabled" as satirical social commentary. John C. Dvorak notes significant errors in the current donation spreadsheet, mentioning that a large contribution from Dame Astrid is missing. They decide to proceed with the available data while acknowledging the numbers are currently inaccurate.

The hosts process a large volume of donations, including contributions from the UK, Netherlands, and Switzerland. They clarify the policy on reading long notes and perform a knighting ceremony for Sir Stephen Van Gelder, the Grand Duke of Belgium and France.

The hosts report a significant lack of high-tier donations for the week, noting that for the first time in six months, there are no executive producers to credit. They analyze the correlation between show content and listener financial support. They conclude that they must credit themselves as executive producers due to the lack of $200+ contributions.
