Musician Bob Geldof is planning a 30th-anniversary re-recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to raise funds for Ebola victims. The hosts express skepticism toward Geldof's motives, noting that past charity single profits eventually reverted to the songwriters. They view the celebrity involvement as part of a broader "front" for the military and economic operation in Africa.

The hosts discuss the 1985 "We Are the World" benefit and the fact that royalties from such songs often revert to the artists after a few years rather than staying with the charity. They recall Phil Collins flying the Concorde to perform in both London and Philadelphia on the same day for Live Aid.

A 25th-anniversary remake of "We Are The World" produced for Haiti relief is criticized for its use of auto-tune and celebrity posturing. The hosts reference an interview where Gary Coleman argued that relief funds should be prioritized for New Orleans and victims of Hurricane Katrina rather than international causes.
