The episode wraps up with reports from various listener meetups, including a family reunion in Kodiak, Alaska, and a crawfish broil in Louisiana. John's "Tip of the Day" recommended the Windows utility tools developed by Chris Titus for system optimization. The hosts signed off by reminding listeners of the upcoming Father's Day show and thanking the global community of producers for their continued support.
A missed connection with the band Mercy Me is discussed; three members of the band are "No Agenda Knights" and had invited the hosts to their show at the Oakland Coliseum. Due to a missed text, the meeting didn't happen, and the band members reportedly went to Costco instead. Other donations from Kodiak, Alaska, and Los Angeles are acknowledged.

A "health karma" request is made for a listener's husband who suffered a bleeding ulcer due to workplace bullying. Another donor, Patrick Bowmer, is recognized for his recovery from a stroke. The hosts conclude the "Value for Value" segment by thanking all producers for their time, talent, and treasure.
Alaska Earthquake, Tsunami Warning and Media Footage
A 7.9 magnitude earthquake in the Gulf of Alaska triggers tsunami warnings across the Pacific coast. Both ABC and CBS are criticized for using the same "OMG" earthquake footage from YouTube, which appears staged. Despite the dire warnings, the actual tsunami measured only eight inches in Kodiak, leading to questions about the efficacy of the expensive buoy warning system.
