A controversy involving commentator Tim Pool emerged after his organization reportedly shipped cases of "pool water" using the U.S. Postal Service's Media Mail rate. The use of the discounted rate for non-media items led to a confrontation at a post office involving a host's wife. The incident was discussed as an example of "scams" being uncovered within the independent media landscape.

Little John's Candies, Post Office Media Mail Dispute

A shipment of "Little John's Candies" and "Gigawatt Coffee" was received, though one host is currently restricted from consuming them due to health reasons. A separate delivery of "artisan pool water" sent via "Media Mail" caused a confrontation at the post office, as the USPS clerk identified the shipment as a violation of the discounted rate. The hosts urge listeners not to "rip off" the post office when sending items.
