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.

The television show "Supernatural" featured a plotline involving Niveus Pharmaceuticals distributing a swine flu vaccine that turns people into zombies. The hosts suggest this is part of a broader media trend to normalize "zombie" imagery as a predictive meme. They debate whether the zombie craze in pop culture is expanding or has already peaked.

A report from a Chinese news website claims that thousands of porpoises blocked pirates from attacking a vessel. The hosts dismiss the story as "cultural malarkey" and supernatural propaganda similar to historical Japanese myths about divine storms protecting the nation.
