John C. Dvorak presents a "Pet Peeve" regarding the shift in cultural attitudes toward questioning authority. He notes that former radicals now discourage skepticism of government figures like Vivek Kundra. The segment also touches on Tim O'Reilly's influence on Twitter and his trademarking of the term "Web 2.0," contrasting it with Dvorak's own lack of verification on the platform.

The hosts discuss Tim O'Reilly's early contributions to the internet, including his work with The Well and the creation of the Global Network Navigator (GNN). They reflect on how being "too far ahead of the time" can prevent innovators from achieving the massive wealth seen during the late 90s dot-com boom. Curry compares his own early ventures in online video and audio to O'Reilly's trajectory.
