The show conducted a formal knighthood ceremony for several high-level donors, including Sir HarvHat and Sir Bob. The hosts discussed the "No Agenda Rings" available for the peerage and encouraged producers to list their credits on professional platforms like LinkedIn or IMDB.

The No Agenda Book Club introduces "Without Conscience" by Dr. Robert Hare, which explores psychopathy in everyday life and the workplace.
