The hosts question the accuracy of COVID-19 death tolls in Italy and Spain, suggesting that financial incentives from the European Union may be influencing how deaths are recorded. In Italy, the percentage of deaths directly attributed to COVID-19 was reportedly revised downward.

They express interest in seeing such evidence if it were ever made available to representatives in a secure setting.

The official autopsy report for Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock lists his time of death as 12:00 PM on October 2, 2017, which contradicts the initial timeline of his suicide the previous night.

They argue that the "eyes in the sky" security in casinos is largely "theater" designed to catch card cheats rather than prevent violence.

The sheriff expressed hope that a pathological examination of Stephen Paddock's brain might reveal a "trigger point" for the massacre. Meanwhile, six major news organizations have filed lawsuits against the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to release 911 calls and search warrant records.

Questions are raised regarding the specific cause of death for Heather Heyer during the Charlottesville protests. While initially reported as being "mowed down" by a car, her mother stated in an interview that Heyer died of a heart attack at the scene.

Media outlets, led by British reporters like Neil Connery, report on torn-up sick notes found at Andreas Lubitz's residences in Dusseldorf and Montabaur.

Three years after the murder of Hollywood publicist Ronnie Chasen, a lawsuit by filmmaker Ryan Katzenbach forced the release of her autopsy report.

The coroner's report for Rolling Stone journalist Michael Hastings, who died in a high-speed car crash, indicates the presence of methamphetamine, DMT, and marijuana in his system.

This inconsistency leads to a claim that the toxicology samples may have been switched or tampered with to discredit Hastings.

A viral theory claiming Trayvon Martin was using Skittles and Arizona watermelon juice to create a drug cocktail known as "lean" is debunked using the official autopsy report.

The hosts criticize listeners and bloggers for spreading unverified "bullcrap" without checking primary sources.
