On episode 129, August and Mazin welcomed [[Final Draft (software)|Final Draft]] CEO and co-founder Marc Madnick and then-product manager Joe Jarvis. Their visit was in response to negative comments made about the software on previous episodes of ''Scriptnotes'', and came out of Madnick's desire to discuss what he perceived as misconceptions about both the software and the company.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://johnaugust.com/2014/scriptnotes-ep-129-the-one-with-the-guys-from-final-draft-transcript|title= Scriptnotes, Ep 129: The One with the Guys from Final Draft — Transcript |last1= |first1= |date= February 6, 2014|website= johnaugust.com|publisher= |access-date= March 16, 2016}}</ref>
Instead, Madnick offered a revealing look into—as described by the Accidental Tech Podcast—the company's shortcomings, management's apparent feeling that they should make "[their] problems your problems," and the "severe technical debt" Final Draft has ignored for far too long, resulting in out of date, difficult to update, and unnecessarily expensive software.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://atp.fm/episodes/54-goto-fail|title= 54: GOTO FAIL; |last1= |first1= |date= 28 February 2014|website= atp.fm|publisher= |access-date= March 16, 2016}}</ref>
In response to the episode's controversy, filmmaker and software developer Kent Tessman pointed out that a possible reason many of Madnick's excuses were met with pushback is that, simply, "there might be technical people listening".<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.kenttessman.com/2014/02/notes-on-scriptnotes/|title= Notes on Scriptnotes |last1= Tessman|first1= Kent|date= February 8, 2014|website= kenttessman.com|publisher= |access-date= March 16, 2016}}</ref>

<blockquote>And, you know, I want to be clear, because Ted Cruz is a nightmare of a human being. I have plenty of problems with his politics, but truthfully his personality is so awful that ninety-nine percent of why I hate him is just his personality. If he agreed with me on every issue, I would hate him only one percent less.</blockquote>
