Baroness Sarah Rupert and Sir Jonathan Rupert of Pizzeria Violetta in Oakland donate to complete a damehood for their daughter, Violet.

Dvorak over their shared interest in ABBA.

A host shares a personal story involving an owl that appeared in a nesting box on the day of John C. Dvorak's memorial service. The owl returned on the date of the first podcast recorded after Dvorak's passing, leading to lighthearted speculation about Dvorak "haunting" the host in avian form. The anecdote serves as a tribute to the late co-host's presence in the lives of his colleagues.

Adam Curry reports on the memorial services held in San Francisco and Oakland for the late John C. Dvorak. The event gathered family, friends, and former colleagues from the early days of PC Magazine and the computing industry. Speakers highlighted Dvorak's unique role in critiquing technology products to drive industry improvements.

Adam Curry reveals a family tradition where John C. Dvorak would always ask piano players to play "Stairway to Heaven," a joke that will be honored at his memorial. Curry encourages the "No Agenda Nation" to keep the local meetup tradition alive as a permanent legacy. He signs off to attend to personal matters, leaving the guest hosts to finish the stream.
