Dr. Drew Predicts Plague Outbreak in Los Angeles
Dr. Drew Pinsky predicted an imminent outbreak of the bubonic plague and murine typhus in Los Angeles due to the city's deteriorating sanitary conditions and homeless encampments. Pinsky contrasted the filth of Los Angeles with the well-maintained services of nearby Pasadena.

Baron of Altadena, Alien Documentation and Jingle Requests
Sir Isaac of Altadena is named the "Baron of Altadena" after a donation of $766.33.

Birthday wishes and "karma" are sent to listeners and their families, including a husband turning 30 and a cat with a broken leg. The hosts emphasize the importance of listener support for the "Value for Value" model.
A mysterious foul odor that caused nausea and stomach aches across the Los Angeles and Pasadena areas was officially attributed to a massive fish die-off at the Salton Sea, 150 miles away. Some residents remain skeptical of the official explanation, given the distance the scent traveled. The incident was brought to light by a listener who discovered the podcast via a stencil painted on a city sidewalk.
