Boeshield T9, a lubricant and degreaser developed by the Boeing Corporation, is featured as the "Tip of the Day." The product is described as a superior alternative to WD-40 for use in machinery and hinges, though users are cautioned that it is extremely difficult to remove if spilled on floors.

A lengthy segment dedicated to the "Value for Value" model, where the hosts thank executive producers and associate executive producers for their financial support. Several listeners are knighted, including Sir WD-40 and Sir Cyber of a Patio Igloo. Donors share personal stories of how the show helped them navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and media skepticism.

A correction is issued regarding the history of WD-40, confirming the name stands for "Water Displacement, 40th formula," which was originally used to protect Convair Atlas missiles. The discussion clarifies the difference between "sweet crude" and "sour crude" oil, noting that sour crude contains high levels of sulfur and requires more processing. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's recent comments on "dirty" Russian fossil fuels are attributed to this sulfur content.

A historical anecdote claims that WD-40 (Water Displacement, 40th formula) was originally developed to prevent water from freezing on the outer skin of the Atlas rocket during the early space program. The product was designed as a penetrant and water displacer rather than a primary lubricant, specifically to protect the thin-skinned fuel cells of the rocket.

A Colorado Springs homeowner discovered two shirtless men on his couch and a camcorder after using a popular dog-walking app. The sitter claimed a bottle of personal lubricant found on the scene was actually WD-40 used to fix a stuck car key. The homeowner's dog was found locked in a room, highlighting the risks of gig-economy home services.

The hosts reminisce about playing "Cowboys and Indians" with cap guns and having rock fights as children, noting that such activities would lead to school suspensions today. The conversation shifts to a squeaky mic stand, which Adam Curry plans to fix with a "pricey" synthetic lubricant called Ranch Hand.
