Archaeologists in England claim to have solved the mystery of Stonehenge's sarsen stones, tracing them to West Woods, 25 kilometers away. The hosts criticize the story as "recycled news," noting that the origin of the stones has been discussed for decades without explaining how the 30-ton boulders were actually moved. Personal anecdotes about visiting the site in the 1970s before modern restrictions are shared.
The discussion critiques the mainstream media's selection of top news events for 2009, labeling them as "main distractions." Featured items include the Tiger Woods scandal, the Balloon Boy hoax, Octomom, and the Kanye West interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards. The hosts contrast these entertainment-heavy stories with more substantive news like the Madoff scandal or the Hadron Collider.
