Pedestrian deaths have jumped 46% since 2009, with 75% of fatalities occurring at night. The hosts argue that the trend is exacerbated by pedestrians wearing all-black clothing and a dangerous reliance on automotive safety technology that makes both drivers and walkers complacent.

Pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. have reached a 25-year high, with nearly 6,000 deaths in 2017. A report suggests smartphone distraction and legalized marijuana are contributing factors. Meanwhile, in the UK, a "war on weed" is targeting "Super Skunk" allegedly smuggled from Holland in flower trucks, which authorities claim causes neurological damage.

A 15% increase in pedestrian deaths since 2009 is attributed to "phone zombies" distracted by mobile devices. The term "nomophobia" (no-mobile-phone phobia) is discussed as a potential new psychiatric disorder, illustrated by a macabre story of a man killed by a rollercoaster while trying to retrieve his phone.
