An account of purchasing a pig at a Future Farmers of America (FFA) auction details the process of bidding on livestock raised by children. The purchase is described as a charitable contribution that helps students pay for college, though it involves the emotional scene of taking a "pet" pig from a crying child. The pig was eventually taken to a Portuguese butcher in Manteca to be processed into linguiça.

Kraft has recalled 6.5 million boxes of its signature macaroni and cheese due to potential metal fragment contamination. The hosts speculate that the recall might be an accounting trick for a tax write-off near the end of the fiscal year. They discuss the popularity of the product as a "depression food" and joke about the nutritional value of the metal shards compared to the actual contents of the box.
