A unusual legal ruling in Missouri found that Geico must pay a $5.2 million settlement to a woman who contracted HPV during a sexual encounter in a car insured by the company. The segment also provided updates on No Agenda community meetups in Tampa, Pittsburgh, and Charlotte. Listeners were encouraged to visit noagendameetups.com to find or start local gatherings.
One of the hosts recounts a grievance with GEICO insurance after the company automatically added a family member to his policy and raised his premium based on misspelled mail sent to his address. The discussion highlights how insurance companies use data mining to increase revenue.

Chelsea Clinton, Geico Gecko and Media Corruption
NBC's *Rock Center with Brian Williams* is criticized for a segment featuring Chelsea Clinton interviewing the Geico Gecko. The hosts argue that this "shameless plug" for the insurance mascot's new book represents the total corruption of news media, where advertisements are presented as editorial content. This is compared to recent long-form promotional segments for Taco Bell on other networks.
