Several listeners who completed their "layaway" donation goals are officially inducted as Knights and Dames. Priscilla Rubio is named Dame Alice Serpe of California, and other new members are assigned their virtual refreshments at the roundtable. The hosts promote the No Agenda signet rings available for verified Knights and Dames.
The knighting ceremony continues with the traditional reading of the "round table" menu, including items like pepperoni rolls and lukewarm tequila. The hosts discuss the logistics of ordering "No Agenda Rings" for new knights and dames, noting the difficulty of gauging various ring sizes.
Layaway Knighting of Sir Tom Baron of the Frozen Tundra
The program concludes its formal ceremonies with the knighting of "Sir Tom, Baron Tom Warden of the Frozen Tundra," who achieved his title through 11 years of monthly $33.33 donations. The ceremony includes the traditional recitation of the "round table" provisions and instructions for receiving a custom ring and certificate of authenticity. Tom's journey from a "layaway" donor to a Baron is celebrated as a model for long-term listener support.
Associate Executive Producers, Layaway Knights and Local Meetups
A long list of associate executive producers is read, including donors from the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and across the U.S. "Sir Colorado of the Pacific Coast" is knighted after completing a long-term layaway donation program. The hosts also mention "Hometown Hero," an Austin-based manufacturer of Delta 8 and Delta 9 products, as a local success story.
Donations arrive from producers in Tokyo, Japan, and Reykjavik, Iceland, with the latter providing a correction on Icelandic puffin-eating habits. The hosts acknowledge Doug Dodge's completion of the "knight layaway" plan, elevating him to the Roundtable. A collective "jobs karma" ritual is performed for all producers currently seeking employment or career advancement.
Donor Acknowledgments, Australian "Sheila" Terminology Debate
The hosts thank various donors, including a "secret knight" from Hungary who donated $1,001.32 and Carol Lennon, who contributed $51.92. A letter from Carol sparks a debate about Australian slang, specifically the use of the terms "Sheila" and "females" to describe women. The segment concludes with a reminder about the "Knight Layaway" program and instructions for donating via the show's websites.
