The hosts note the aggressive marketing of flu shots at unconventional locations, including San Francisco Giants baseball games and Safeway grocery stores. They express concern over the lack of long-term testing for the combined seasonal and H1N1 vaccines.

He is charged with using a concealed camera for "sexual gratification," a phrasing the hosts find unusual and potentially indicative of expanding privacy laws.
