The hosts thank Jock10 for the artwork for episode 1820, titled "Tokyo Rose," which featured Abraham Lincoln carving a turkey. They also discuss technical issues with a 3D soup can submission that failed to map text correctly. Listeners are encouraged to use the No Agenda Art Generator while following specific size requirements.

A lawsuit filed by a former Campbell's Soup employee alleges that an executive made disparaging remarks about the company's products, including claims of using 3D-printed or bioengineered chicken. While Campbell's denies the claims as "patently absurd," the Florida Attorney General has opened an investigation into the company's products.

A personal account of a dental procedure highlights the use of 3D imaging and printing for creating crowns. The dentist noted that while the software is being marketed as "AI," it is actually standard modeling technology that has been in use for years, illustrating the trend of "AI-washing" existing products.

Japan has introduced its first new banknote designs in 20 years, featuring 3D holographic technology to prevent counterfeiting. Despite the government's push for 80% cashless payments, the rollout faces hurdles as only 20% of the country's ubiquitous vending machines can currently accept the new bills.

Companies are developing modular platforms to 3D print meat using cells collected from live animals and "bio-ink" to replicate muscle and fat structures. Simultaneously, authorities in the Netherlands are proposing a tax of seven euros per kilo on red meat to offset perceived healthcare costs. The Dutch government claims red meat consumption leads to increased instances of illness that burden the public health system.

Ukraine is transitioning from old Soviet systems to Western weaponry as parts for S-300 air defense and older tanks become scarce, sometimes necessitating 3D printing for repairs. The Biden administration continues to refuse requests for long-range ATACMS missiles, citing concerns that they represent a "red line" for the Kremlin and could lead to escalation. Despite Ukrainian promises not to strike inside Russian territory, U.S. officials remain cautious about providing weapons with a 180-mile range.

Israeli company Redefine Meat has partnered with European importers to distribute 3D-printed "meat" cuts made from soy, pea protein, and coconut fat. A new factory in the Netherlands uses large-scale printers to recreate the texture and marbling of traditional steak. The hosts express skepticism about the product's appeal and suggest that the industry should have started with simpler 3D-printed foods like candy to build consumer trust.

A shooting incident in Washington, D.C., involving a sniper-style setup near schools and embassies leads to a discussion on firearm modifications. The conversation focuses on "Glock switches" and auto-sears, noting that despite strict gun laws in the capital, such devices are increasingly accessible through 3D printing.

IKEA launches a "Taste the Future" recruitment campaign in Europe, offering job candidates 3D-printed plant-based meatballs during interviews. The hosts mock the initiative as part of a broader trend toward normalizing "bug food" and meat alternatives.

NPR reported on the first "owner-occupied" 3D printed Habitat for Humanity home in Williamsburg, Virginia. Adam Curry describes seeing similar "automated mud flappers" in action, noting that the technology primarily prints the cement walls but not the roof or doors. The hosts critique the media hype surrounding the "first" status of the project.

The 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) features new categories such as food technology and space tech. Companies are showcasing 3D printers capable of producing plant-based meat alternatives, while Amazon expands its presence in the healthcare sector with its pharmacy division. Critics question the classification of "impossible pork" and other food products as consumer electronics.

The global meat processing giant JBS acquires the Netherlands-based plant protein brand Vivera for $400 million. The hosts discuss the rise of "alt-protein" and the potential for 3D-printed meat grown from human cells, jokingly referred to as "Hufu." They suggest the Biden administration's pressure on the beef industry is paving the way for these synthetic alternatives.

Texas Slim of the Texas Beef Initiative discusses how the "carbon credit economy" is being used to target the cattle industry. Global food corporations are reportedly shifting toward fake meat, including 3D-printed and vegetable-based proteins, to comply with new carbon regulations. The hosts suggest that after November 12th, new marketing plans for these alternative commodities will be released globally.

A series of donations are read, including a request for health karma for a niece at Johns Hopkins. Adam Curry discusses his recent appearances on the Tom Woods and Michael Malice podcasts, noting the overlap in audiences and the importance of promoting the show on other platforms.

Adam Curry recounts passing through a new 3D TSA scanner at the Miami airport while carrying an eight-inch pair of barber scissors in his carry-on bag. Despite the advanced imaging technology, the security agents failed to detect the sharp object. The hosts discuss this as an example of "security theater" and the inefficiency of expensive new screening hardware.

A study in *Nature Plant* warns of a global beer shortage due to barley's sensitivity to drought. In Silicon Valley, scientists are developing lab-grown chicken nuggets from feather cells to reduce the carbon footprint of the livestock industry. While major meat processors are investing in the technology, states like Missouri have moved to ban the use of the word "meat" on lab-grown product labels.

A TEDx talk by Oritz Dolev illustrates the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" vision for 2030, where individuals own no property and subscribe to all life needs. The vision includes 3D-printed clothing, drone-delivered meals, and "co-living" complexes. Critics argue this "build back better" future eliminates personal autonomy and assets in favor of total service dependency.

A World Economic Forum video titled "8 Predictions for the World in 2030" is analyzed, featuring the claim "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy." Other predictions include the end of the U.S. as a leading superpower, the rise of 3D-printed organs, and the implementation of global carbon taxes. The video's imagery, including a McDonald's sign used to represent the breaking point of Western values, is criticized as anti-American.

A series of $200 and $250 donations are acknowledged from producers in Michigan, Virginia, and Georgia. Sir Daddy Cast requests a custom "Hot Take" soundbite for his son's new podcast and promotes 3D-printable No Agenda accessories available on Thingiverse.

The "MAKERS 2020" conference is criticized for "hijacking" the term "maker," which is typically associated with 3D printing and DIY technology. The event is described as a feminist empowerment summit featuring figures like John Legend, focusing on social change rather than technical creation.
