The complexity and impracticality of the modern nozzle-swapping scam are debated.

Researchers in Houston and Northern California claim to have detected Omicron fragments in municipal wastewater using PCR assays on "dewy black sludge."

The segment mocks the concept of "poop PCR" and the invasive nature of tracking public health through sewage.

Inmates at the Sacramento County jail are reportedly refusing the COVID-19 vaccine despite being offered $20 bribes. The hosts find it notable that prisoners in California appear to have more bodily autonomy than municipal workers. They jokingly speculate that the lack of vaccination among inmates is to preserve them as "spare parts" for organ transplants.

Media outlets reported on a massive "atmospheric river" and "bomb cyclone" hitting Northern California, bringing record rainfall to Sacramento and San Francisco.

The discrepancy between dire media warnings of a "river of doom" and the actual local impact is noted.

A Sacramento caller identifying as a Ron Paul libertarian argues that the 25th Amendment would lead to civil war and emphasizes the importance of election integrity.

Nawres Walid Hamid, a naturalized U.S. citizen and linguist from Sacramento, was the contractor killed in the rocket attack on the K-1 Air Base near Kirkuk.
