A senior at the University of Missouri found a memory card full of family photos inside a 20-year-old camera purchased at a Goodwill in Manchester, Vermont. Through social media, she was able to return the photos to a family who had lost several members featured in the 2009 images, providing them with cherished memories.

A vigil for the Orlando victims at the University of Missouri was reportedly "hijacked" by a speaker who criticized the crowd for its lack of support for Black Lives Matter. The speaker expressed nervousness about the number of "white people" in attendance. The incident is cited as an example of racial politics overshadowing a moment of collective mourning.

A list of "crazy demands" from college students in 2016 includes Yale activists wanting to purge the English department of "white male poets" and Mizzou students requesting "spaces of healing" that exclude white allies. Other examples include Oberlin students complaining about the quality of General Tso's chicken and Western Washington University students wanting to replace the word "history" with "HX-tory" to remove patriarchal implications.

The events at the University of Missouri (Mizzou) are deconstructed, specifically the video of communications professor Melissa Click calling for "muscle" to remove a student journalist from a public protest area. The hosts highlight the irony of a media professor suppressing the press and discuss the university police department's request for students to report "hateful or hurtful speech."

The hosts examine the catalysts for the Mizzou protests, including the resignation of President Tim Wolfe. They question the validity of the "poop swastika" report, noting a lack of photographic evidence. The discussion emphasizes that the protest only gained significant traction when the football team threatened to strike, creating a massive financial liability for the university.
