The host previews the topics covered in the THC Plus second hour, including AI habitat, star maps, and the "animist diet." He also promotes several upcoming listener meetups in New York City, Jefferson City, Scottsdale, and County Durham, UK. Carlwood encourages listeners to build local networks and support the show through membership to ensure the continuation of counter-culture dialogue.

Dr. Richard Jacobi, a leading peripheral nerve surgeon and co-founder of the Scottsdale Health Care Wound Management Center, joins the program to discuss his book, Sugar Crush. The discussion frames the modern diet and the sugar industry as a conspiracy of misinformation involving corporate lobbyists and deceptive scientific studies. Dr. Jacobi's background as a former president of the Arizona Podiatry Association informs his perspective on the systemic harms of sugar.
