The show wraps up with a "Tip of the Day" regarding P.A.N. brand gluten-free pancake mix, which the host recommends for those with wheat sensitivities. Final credits are given to the mix masters and technical producers as the hosts sign off from Texas and Silicon Valley.
Post-COVID Wheat Allergies, Hives Support Group
Following a previous discussion, more listeners write in to share experiences of developing sudden wheat allergies or chronic hives after contracting COVID-19. One host describes his wife's experience using trial and error to identify wheat as a trigger for severe reactions. The hosts suggest the No Agenda community is becoming a de facto support group for these specific post-viral symptoms.
The discussion opens with an examination of A2 milk as a dietary trend similar to gluten-free products, noting that cows are specifically bred to produce this milk variant. Reports from Australia indicate potential supermarket shortages of milk and Weetabix due to strict emissions regulations affecting trucking fleets. These climate change policies are characterized as scams that mirror logistics issues currently seen in California ports.
The hosts express their disdain for repetitive Super Bowl pre-game analysis, preferring to work through the event. A listener gift of sorghum flour prompts a discussion on the grain's culinary uses and its status as a major global crop that remains obscure in the United States. The segment concludes with a reminder of the show's financial independence through listener support.
The hosts read a list of donations from various locations, including a discussion on the proper way to cook sorghum. A listener from Urbana, Illinois, provides a gluten-free tip, prompting a request for a full methodology. Other donors are recognized for their long-term support and "de-douching" requests for family members.
The hosts briefly mention the recent Democratic primary debate, noting it ended early due to a lack of substantive material. Adam Curry then issues a satirical "trigger warning" for the audience, mocking modern sensitivities regarding gluten and dietary choices. This serves as a transition into the heavy news coverage of the Paris terrorist events.
A travel anecdote details how ordering a special gluten-free or vegetarian meal can prevent a passenger from being bumped from overbooked flights. By utilizing the "Sky Priority" check-in lanes and maintaining a friendly rapport with gate agents, a traveler managed to secure a first-class upgrade on a flight to Minneapolis after an original flight to Atlanta was canceled.
A new venture called Jambo Superfoods is launching a line of cannabis-infused "superfood" edibles that are paleo, gluten-free, and use non-refined sugars. The hosts discuss the marketing of weed-infused products as health supplements and the inherent contradictions in "non-refined" sugar claims. They predict the product will be highly successful due to the lack of healthy alternatives in the current edibles market.
The hosts discuss Thanksgiving cooking techniques, including the safety of stuffing a bird and a specific recipe for apple and cranberry dressing designed for a gluten-free diet. The conversation shifts to the rising popularity of kale, which is characterized as a public relations scam and a "money grab" due to its high price compared to other brassica vegetables like cabbage. They reference a Ugandan newspaper article promoting kale as a "friend with benefits."
Knighting Ceremony and Healthy Surprise Review
The hosts conduct a formal knighting ceremony for Sir Jule van de Meer, Sir David Rudolf Bucker, and Dame Cathy Siminich. They also review a gift box from Healthy Surprise, discussing the merits of various vegan snacks like wasabi seaweed and their shared dislike for kale chips.
No Agenda PR Associates and Domain Name Donations
Listeners have registered and forwarded several domain names to the No Agenda website as a form of promotion. Notable domains include noagendaSuperPAC.com, glutenfreestrippers.com, and 2americans1drone.com. These contributions are acknowledged as part of the show's "PR Associates" segment.
A listener sent a large box of vegan and gluten-free snacks from HealthySurprise.com to the hosts. The donor, who listened to the show while summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, expressed appreciation for the show's independent analysis and value-for-value model.
