The hosts return to the theme of "33 signaling," noting how the number frequently appears in news reports of accidents or official notices. They encourage listeners to pay attention to these occurrences as potential markers of "bullcrap" or coded communication between organizations.

They discourage sending the same idea to both hosts and emphasize the importance of timestamps for long video links. Dvorak notes his increased use of foreign media sources to find stories that are ignored by the American mainstream press, such as events in Cambodia.

The guide suggests introducing oneself with specific pronouns like "she/her" or "ze/zir." A comedic exercise follows where a host attempts to read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice while replacing all gendered pronouns with neutral alternatives.

The Netherlands is noted as having the highest rate of phone taps per capita in the world, with Justice Minister Koen Geens seeking to expand these powers to include unencrypted WhatsApp messages. The hosts suggest these operations are often used for blackmail or gaining investment advantages.

The hosts emphasize that as a public news outlet, they treat mail like letters to the editor. They also discuss the technical hurdles of using PGP and GPG encryption for emails.

Adam Curry expresses skepticism about the project's intellectual property controls and Levison's past willingness to cooperate with federal authorities for a fee. He warns listeners not to be "snookered" by the "Summer of Snowden" marketing.

The site is described as a sophisticated, eBay-like operation featuring escrow services, resolution centers, and PGP encryption. Despite the anonymity of the browser, the physical delivery of pharmaceuticals and illegal substances via the U.S. Postal Service suggests the operation may be sanctioned or monitored by federal authorities to build databases of users.

He then discusses his use of PGP public keys in his email signature to slow down NSA surveillance. He encourages listeners to use encryption, even if the government can eventually crack it, as a form of digital resistance.

The Iron Key devices, managed by Imation, reportedly feature self-destruct mechanisms after failed decryption attempts. Additionally, amateur radio and Morse code are highlighted as secure communication methods because intelligence agencies have allegedly stopped monitoring those frequencies.

The show concludes with the hosts sharing their Thanksgiving cooking plans, including recipes for yams and kosher turkeys. They sign off with their traditional "Soviet spy" and "Silicon Valley" personas.
