A new study from Dartmouth College suggests that climate change is responsible for an increase in home runs in Major League Baseball. The research argues that warmer temperatures lead to less dense air, reducing resistance for flying balls. Since 2010, the study attributes over 500 home runs to global warming, a finding the hosts view with skepticism as a potential "house ad" for the climate agenda.

Dr. Christiane Northrup, a Dartmouth-educated OBGYN and former Oprah Winfrey Show regular, has been named one of the "Disinformation Dozen" by the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Northrup defends her credentials and long history in women's health, arguing that her "fall from grace" is a result of challenging the pharmaceutical status quo. She remains a prominent voice for those skeptical of the current vaccine rollout.

Three students from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth were arrested for allegedly helping Dzhokhar Tsarnaev after the bombing. The hosts highlight that they were initially detained on "bogus" visa violations for not attending class. They argue these charges were a pretext to hold the students while the FBI sought evidence of obstruction.

President Obama's nomination of Dr. Jim Yong Kim to lead the World Bank is analyzed as a move to prioritize global health initiatives over traditional banking. A Charlie Rose interview is used to show Kim's ties to George Soros and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation regarding tuberculosis treatment. The hosts also play audio of Kim rapping at a Dartmouth graduation to question his suitability for the role.

A session of the European Parliament saw the microphone of MEP William Dartmouth cut off while he was criticizing Baroness Ashton, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs. The incident is cited as evidence of the erosion of free speech within the European Union's governing bodies. The "Starfleet Command" analogy for the EU leadership is debated by listeners who suggest "Federation Council" is a more accurate sci-fi comparison.
