The "n=5" sample size is highlighted as being statistically insignificant, yet the story was carried by national news organizations including ABC. The segment suggests the story may have been a native advertisement for the chocolate industry.

He requests listeners send "offbeat" kale recipes to his email, noting that most involve parboiling and cooking with bacon fat to make the vegetable edible. The hosts jokingly rebrand the show as a "non-GMO superfood podcast."

The hosts reiterate their "value for value" mantra, asking for support based on the utility listeners receive.

The study suggests that cocoa seeds should be classified as a fruit. Media outlets have reported these findings as a scientific breakthrough, despite the study being funded and conducted by the chocolate manufacturer itself.
