Knighthood Ceremony, Fetus Knight Sir Simons Jr.
A formal knighthood ceremony is conducted for Sir Greg Filer and Sir Todd Simons. Notably, Simons's unborn child is knighted as "Sir Simons Jr.," making him the show's first "pre-born knight." The hosts emphasize that their listener-supported model allows them to report on rumors and topics that sponsored media cannot touch.
A series of donations are acknowledged, including wedding karma for Todd Simons and Dame Melissa. A donor from Florida mentioned an email scuffle with an IBEW union member regarding a newsletter about Leo Gerard. The hosts discuss the power of union leaders and their connections to major public relations firms like Omnicom and WPP.
Knighthood Ceremony, Layaway Knights, Value-for-Value
The hosts conduct a formal knighthood ceremony for several producers who have reached the $1,000 donation threshold, including "layaway" knights who contributed monthly. New knights include Sir Tristan Lennon and a young producer named Peter, the godson of Baron von Pelsmacher. The segment reinforces the show's "value-for-value" model as the only sustainable way to maintain independent media.
