The show celebrates numerous birthdays within the producer community, including Lauren Schwartz and Tristan Jacobson. Cathy Rhodes (Dame Cece), Matt Sernell, and Alex Brewer are officially knighted. The ceremony includes a humorous list of "provisions" for the Round Table, such as Yoo-hoo, Twinkies, and Japanese BBQ sauce.
