The hosts compete with "In Search Of" (ISO) audio clips, featuring a voice clone of Natalie and a gravelly-voiced sampling of DHS spokesperson Trish McLaughlin. One clip humorously claims that "all the gals in the Pentagon" listen to the No Agenda show.
Several listeners were knighted for their financial support, including Sir Scott the White Knight and Sir Jonathan Rupert.

Candidates include Jen Psaki saying "We don't block anything" and a clip of someone saying "I think it is terrific." They ultimately select the "terrific" clip for its versatility in future media deconstruction segments.

The hosts search for a new "ISO" (isolated audio clip) to use in the show's production. They debate between a clip of someone saying "ridonculous"—attributed to Rachel Maddow—and a clip about "wreaking havoc on the industry."
