The show reveals how Dr. Dave and Evil Steve selected guests: whenever their consulting work or daily travels produced a genuine wow, they made a note to bring the company onto the program. A caller's unreadable attachment becomes a lesson in practical kindness, with Dr. Dave arguing that senders should identify a file, keep it reasonably small and make sure the recipient can open it. His harsh Windows Vista judgment is preserved as major-release history, complete with a comparison to New Coke and a demand to tell the truth even when criticism is fashionable. Most memorably, he uses Google's drive study to plead for backups, then explains that successful recovery depends on tiny variables, relentless effort and sometimes enough luck to make the work feel like black magic.
