A host recounts traveling to San Francisco for the memorial service of technology writer John C. Dvorak. Attendees from the Netherlands, Tokyo, and the early PC industry shared stories of Dvorak's gruff exterior and his commitment to driving tech companies to improve through harsh criticism. The service concluded with a prayer in a historic Oakland chapel, marking the end of an era for the No Agenda co-host.

John C. Dvorak passed away two days prior to the recording, following his final Sunday broadcast of the No Agenda show. His co-host describes the sudden nature of the passing, noting that Dvorak died peacefully while watching television with his wife, Mimi. The transition marks the end of a 19-year podcasting partnership that began in October 2007.
