Julian Assange, Claire Daly and Show Sign-off
The show ends with a clip of Irish MEP Claire Daly criticizing the European Parliament's hypocrisy regarding the imprisonment of Julian Assange. The hosts offer a final "Adios Mofos" and play a satirical mix featuring New York Mayor Eric Adams. A brief tangent warns against the dangers of unpasteurized kombucha before the final credits roll.
Producers Jan Fury and David Van Root contribute to the show, with Van Root offering a kombucha starter. Dvorak declines the offer, expressing skepticism about the health benefits of the fermented tea, which the donor claims tastes like an Arnold Palmer.
Steven Ocher, relocating from Jersey City to Austin, Texas, attained knighthood as Sir Rutherford the Brave. He requested "Jobs Karma" as he seeks freelance photography work in his new city. The hosts jokingly promised to serve ketamine and kombucha at the Round Table.
Knighting Ceremony, Sir Peppy, Sir Tom Starkweather
The hosts conduct a formal knighting ceremony for producers Sir Peppy and Sir Tom Starkweather. As part of the tradition, they offer the new knights a choice of symbolic refreshments, ranging from "Hookers and Blow" to "Mutton and Mead." They also briefly discuss the health risks associated with drinking kombucha.
Quinoa Exploitation and the Benefits of Lifeway Kefir
The discussion covers the environmental and social impact of quinoa consumption on indigenous South Americans. It also highlights "teff" as a new ancient grain and provides a strong endorsement for Lifeway brand Kefir as a superior probiotic compared to inconsistent products like kombucha.
Interstate Alcohol Sales, Kombucha Alcohol Content
A bill in the House of Representatives aims to ban the interstate sale of alcohol, a move attributed to lobbying by major distributors. Additionally, retailers like Fred Meyer have pulled Kombucha tea from shelves to verify alcohol content after the drink reportedly triggered Lindsay Lohan's alcohol monitoring bracelet.
The hosts discuss Lindsay Lohan's "SCRAM" alcohol-monitoring bracelet, which she claimed was triggered by drinking kombucha tea from Whole Foods. This leads to a tangent about the legality of various substances and a personal recommendation to add a dash of sea salt to espresso for a unique flavor profile.
The hosts discuss Kombucha, describing it as a "gob of goo" or acetic acid colony. Dvorak shares his 35-year history of growing vinegar from leftover wine, warning that certain home-brewed cultures can produce "poisonous" vinegar that causes severe heartburn or ulcers.
