Topic: Michael Garcia

The hosts announce the executive producers for the episode, including Michael Garcia from Tokyo and Dennis Cruz from Oregon, alongside associate executive producer Matthew Carey from Australia. They discuss the "value-for-value" funding model and the need for more $5 monthly sustaining subscriptions to keep the show viable. There is a brief humorous exchange regarding the attribution of blame when donation levels fluctuate.

In a formal segment, Michael Garcia is knighted into the "Order of the Mint" for his significant financial support of the show. The hosts use dramatic music to induct him into the No Agenda Roundtable, granting him the title of "Sir." The segment concludes with a humorous letter from a paranoid listener who is unsure if the food they are eating is actually food.
