The hosts acknowledge major donations from Mark Workman, David Foley, and the Viscountess of Tokyo, Dame Astrid. Workman is granted the title of Baronet of Galt's Gulch, while David Foley is recognized as a Grand Duke. Dame Astrid's note about the "sawing" sound clip in the show leads to a humorous discussion about the show's recurring audio memes.
Executive Producer Donations, Grand Duke David Foley and School Funding
A series of high-value donations from Executive Producers is acknowledged, including contributions from David Foley, Mark Wilson, and Dallas Spongberg. A letter from Greg Brinkman criticizes the misallocation of school grants in Illinois, where $4 million was spent on athletics despite crumbling infrastructure. The segment also includes a "fuck cancer" request and reflections on the importance of independent thinking.
The hosts acknowledge high-tier donors who support the show through the "value for value" model. Notable contributions include $569.69 from Mark Abbott and $569 from Duke David Foley. Several listeners are granted knighthoods for their financial support, including Sir Brian S. Hall and Sir Jeremy Johnson.
Congressional Page Program, Mark Foley Scandal
The House of Representatives abruptly terminates its 100-year-old page program, while the Senate maintains its version.
