Reference is made to a vaccine court case, Snyder v. HHS, which notes that results above 35 cycles are cause for concern due to potential DNA contamination. The "CSI effect" is discussed as a phenomenon where the public overestimates the infallibility of DNA evidence, ignoring risks of secondary transfer and lab errors.

This leads to a "Real Phrase from the Shays" segment regarding the origin of the phrase "blowing smoke up your ass." The practice originated in 1746 as a legitimate medical procedure using tobacco smoke enemas to revive drowning victims, which was common in the late 18th century.

The hosts mock the "CSI effect" in media and jokingly suggest applying such magical technology to analyze 9/11 Pentagon footage.
