Topic: Dearness

The hosts critique an NPR segment on maintaining long-distance friendships, which they find overly sentimental and "pathetic." One host describes his habit of sending supportive texts to friends facing medical procedures, attributing the change in behavior to his religious faith. The other host finds the idea of "spying" on friends' doctor appointments offensive, leading to a humorous clash of perspectives.

The show concludes with a "Good News" story about a Detroit man, Keante Edmondson, who rescued a special needs student who had wandered a mile away from his elementary school. The episode ends with the "Bingo Boom Shakalaka" mix and a final St. Patrick's Day sign-off.

Robert Dear, the suspect in the Planned Parenthood shooting, made several outbursts in court claiming to be a "warrior for the babies." Dear accused his public defender—the same lawyer who represented the Aurora theater shooter—of trying to silence him with psychotropic drugs. The segment highlights Dear's demand for a preliminary hearing and his refusal to be declared mentally incompetent.

The shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs is analyzed as a potential catalyst for renewed gun control efforts by the Obama administration. Skepticism is expressed regarding the reported motives of the shooter, Robert Lewis Dear, and the media's quick adoption of the "baby parts" narrative based on unnamed sources. The segment also touches on the $15 million lawsuit filed by Ahmed Mohamed, known as "Clock Boy."
