Steven Crowder, Campus Security and Concrete Milkshakes
Steven Crowder explains his decision to pull back from campus events, citing increased violence and threats, including "concrete milkshakes" and attempts to firebomb his car. The hosts criticize Crowder's framing of the situation, using the Dutch term "lijkepikker" (corpse picker).
The "John's Tip of the Day" segment reveals the full recipe for a pre-show energy milkshake. Ingredients include eight ounces of milk, bee pollen, chia seeds, two shots of frozen espresso, Bio-Sil collagen drops, and Carnation Breakfast Essentials chocolate powder. The mixture is blended twice to allow the chia seeds to thicken the drink into a rich milkshake.
Journalist Andy Ngo was physically assaulted by Antifa protesters in Portland, Oregon, resulting in a brain hemorrhage. The hosts highlight reports that some "milkshakes" thrown during the protest contained quick-drying cement and criticize the lack of mainstream media coverage.
Milkshake Attacks on Nigel Farage and Political Violence

Oxford Dictionaries named "youthquake" as the 2017 word of the year, defined as significant change caused by young people. The runner-up was "Milkshake Duck," a term for a viral star who is quickly found to have a problematic past. The hosts and their "troll room" express confusion over these choices, noting that "feminism" was Webster's word of the year.
