The "Tip of the Day" focuses on black garlic, a fermented product originally from Korea that reportedly helps lower blood pressure. Despite its appearance, it is described as having a sweet, chocolate-like flavor and a texture similar to roasted garlic. The hosts discuss the 4,000-year-old origins of the recipe and the specialized process required to create it.

Lara Logan's new show on Fox Nation, which originally shared the "No Agenda" title, features an investigation into Mexican cartels. The report highlights how cartels have expanded their portfolios beyond drugs into human smuggling, oil theft, and the multi-billion dollar avocado industry. The hosts joke that millennials are inadvertently supporting drug cartels by consuming avocado toast.

A new project aims to document specific cultural markers and linguistic habits associated with the millennial generation. Terms identified include avocado toast, "dropping T's" in speech, bone broth, and small-batch artisan products. The hosts debate the origins and relevance of these trends.

Millennials are characterized as being immune to traditional advertising but susceptible to "small batch" and "handcrafted" marketing that justifies higher prices. Examples include $16 avocado toast and $10-per-pound pickles in Berkeley that are identical to cheaper versions in ethnic delis. In Austin, a single dill pickle in a sealed bag is reportedly sold for $8 at high-end grocery stores.
