A man-on-the-street segment from Fort Lauderdale features college students during Spring Break 2026 discussing their party habits. The footage reveals a significant lack of geopolitical awareness, as several students from major universities are unfamiliar with the term "Ayatollah" or the current conflict in Iran. Despite the lack of cultural literacy, the observation is made that these students represent a carefree American youth envied by peers globally.

The host thanks several listeners for sending Ohio State University merchandise, including hoodies and a Brutus Buckeye doll. Specific thanks are given to Dreb Scott and Jay Madison of the Park Street Law Group for their contributions.

The hosts conclude the donation segment by thanking listeners like Jonathan Halper and David Moreno. Moreno, a software developer, was highlighted for his "freeware" and "donationware" tools. The segment emphasizes the importance of sustaining donations to keep the show ad-free and encourages listeners to check their recurring payment statuses.

John Dvorak notes a drop in recurring donations due to expired credit cards at the start of the year and urges listeners to check their status. He also makes a blatant request for free Ohio State or Montana championship apparel, complaining that he hasn't received any sports hoodies recently despite his large audience.

A viral video of a woman crashing a golf cart during the Ohio State national championship celebration is discussed. The commentary focuses on a social media reaction that jokingly links the driving mishap to broader arguments about women in leadership positions.

A "Police State News Bulletin" reports on a sting operation in Columbus, Ohio, where a female officer was stripped naked in a park to lure "perverts." A firefighter was arrested and found guilty despite entrapment concerns. The segment also mentions New York City subway stings where citizens are arrested for picking up "lost" wallets or iPods.

Congressman Jim Jordan faces allegations that he ignored sexual abuse by a team doctor while serving as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University decades ago. Jordan denies the claims, which surfaced shortly after his aggressive questioning of Rod Rosenstein. The hosts characterize the timing as a political smear intended to prevent Jordan from becoming the next Speaker of the House.

Research led by Theodore Braske at Ohio State University found that men taking high doses of Vitamin B6 and B12 supplements over a ten-year period face a significantly increased risk of developing lung cancer. The risk was found to double in men generally and triple or quadruple in men who smoke, while no such risk was observed in women. The study warns against "super-physiological" doses found in some supplements and energy drinks, which can exceed 8,000% of the recommended daily allowance.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an 18-year-old Somali permanent resident, carried out a vehicular and knife attack at Ohio State University. The segment reviews a previous interview Artan gave to the student newspaper regarding his fears of praying in public as a Muslim. The hosts question the media's reluctance to label the incident a terrorist attack.

Filmmaker Oliver Stone is mentioned for his views on the Ukraine conflict, which the hosts compare to their own analysis. In Russian business news, the Kia Rio has overtaken the Lada as the best-selling car. The segment concludes with a look ahead to the College Football Playoff National Championship between the Oregon Ducks and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

A debate on PBS NewsHour features Peter Mansoor of Ohio State University and Stephen Walt of Harvard University.

Walt suggests the group is a localized Sunni threat that should be managed with domestic counter-terrorism rather than foreign intervention.

John C. Dvorak explains his theory that the push to abolish the Electoral College is driven by media companies wanting to capture advertising revenue in non-swing states. Currently, billions of dollars in political ad spending are concentrated in a few states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, leaving markets in California and New York ignored. Removing the Electoral College would force candidates to spend money in every major media market to win the popular vote.

A police sting operation in Columbus, Ohio, involved a naked female officer acting as a lure in a public park to arrest potential offenders.
