The hosts deconstruct a "Two Techies" podcast segment about Steve Jobs, correcting historical inaccuracies regarding his departure from Apple in 1985. They highlight that under John Sculley, Apple's sales grew from $800 million to $8 billion. The discussion serves as a critique of modern tech reporting, which the hosts claim lacks editorial oversight and historical knowledge.

A look back at a 1985 concert in Rotterdam reveals a host's past involvement with Greenpeace, specifically "rocking for Greenpeace" during a televised event. This "cringe-worthy" moment is used to satirize current climate change rhetoric and the "reawakening" of former deniers. The anecdote serves as a reminder of how long environmental agendas have been promoted through popular entertainment.
