The show concludes with a "Good News" segment featuring the rescue of a pit bull named Kila from a storm drain in West Oahu by Honolulu firefighters. The hosts sign off with their traditional "A Hui Hou" and play an end-of-show mix. A final commentary touches on the closing of bus stations across America and the impact on low-income travelers.
Sir Tim of the Tunnels requested a barony for an island off the north shore of Oahu known as Mokuʻauia, or Goat Island. The Peerage Committee officially recognized his transition to the rank of Baron. The segment also notes the existence of another Goat Island in San Francisco Bay.
Hawaii Warning System, Siren Testing and Resident Reactions
Residents in Hawaii describe the confusion following the missile alert, noting that while tsunami sirens are tested monthly, the attack warning tone had been dormant for decades. One producer recounts moving children to a bathroom and searching for information on Twitter while local news remained silent. Representative Tulsi Gabbard is credited with providing the first credible confirmation that the alert was a false alarm.
Listener Donations, Phi Constant and John Foley's Birthday
The hosts acknowledge various listener donations, including a $161.80 contribution linked to the mathematical constant Phi. A donor from Oahu, Hawaii, sends $69.40 to celebrate her boyfriend John Foley's 40th birthday. The segment includes a discussion of "Portuguese sausage" and a humorous attempt at a synchronized birthday greeting over Skype.
