A large group of listeners, identified as the "Facebag" group, organized a collective donation effort for Adam Curry's birthday. While they aimed for a $1,000 total to secure a group knighthood, the final tally fell short. Individual donors from Texas, Italy, and California contributed various amounts, often using the number 54 to signify Curry's age.

Listener Neil Campbell provides a correction regarding the term "carpetbagger," explaining its origins as luggage made from old carpets used by poor people during the Civil War era. The hosts debate whether Georgia congressional candidate Jon Ossoff fits the definition of a carpetbagger. They conclude that running for office in a district where one does not currently reside justifies the pejorative label.

Adam Curry shares reactions from his former MTV colleagues on social media regarding the Comey testimony. Many express a belief that the testimony will lead to immediate impeachment.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the Easter Sunday episode from Austin and Silicon Valley. They discuss the linguistic curiosity of the phrase "He is risen" appearing on social media statuses. The conversation touches on the branding of Jesus Christ and the timing of military actions during a religious holiday.

The hosts highlight the show's influence on popular culture, noting the use of the term "facebag" in a Futurama episode and Bill O'Reilly's recent crusade against the phrase "at the end of the day."

A video circulating on social media shows a pedestrian punching a masked Black Bloc protester who was blocking a sidewalk. The incident is used to describe "LARPing" (Live Action Role Playing) as a term for young protesters who adopt a radical aesthetic without genuine conviction.

Eric Wesseldyke is thanked for his $200 donation. He credits the show with immunizing him from the "phobia" seen on Twitter and Facebook following Trump's win. At his request, the hosts prepare to play "The Ant Song" by Bill Walsh at the end of the show.

The No Agenda community has migrated to a new "closed" Facebook group, dubbed the "Facebag," after issues with the previous group's administration and privacy settings. The new group gained 700 members within 24 hours.

An activist group called "InDecline" installed naked statues of Donald Trump in several major U.S. cities, sparking a debate over "body shaming" within progressive circles. While some activists initially condemned the tactic, others argued that "fighting fire with fire" is necessary against the Trump campaign. In Seattle, a man was filmed taking one of the statues and driving off with it in his truck, presumably to keep it as a valuable art piece.

White House advisor Valerie Jarrett noted in interviews that two-thirds of the 30,000 annual gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides.

The discussion critiques the assumption that removing guns would prevent suicidal individuals from finding other methods.
