Episodes

DeWine Will Not Answer The Questions 20.04.2026

Bruce looks into the claims by Governor DeWine that Amy Acton had nothing to do with the order to shutdown everything during Covid.

Watch Out For Heresy 20.04.2026

Mike Carey Dodges Questions 17.04.2026

This Seems Like a Slippery Slope 17.04.2026

The Pope Has a Blatant Blind Spot 16.04.2026

Bruce carries on the conversation about the ongoing beef between the Pope and the President. Bruce wonders why the Pope only ever criticizes the US but never has a single word to say about the atrocities that are going on in Iran that the US is trying to prevent. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can't Bite the Hand That Feeds 16.04.2026

Bruce recalls an experience that he had when he was a student at Ohio State University, where he tried to detail how things had changed negatively at the school, but was reprimanded by the professor because he shouldn't bite the hand that feeds. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mamdani's Super Grocery Store 16.04.2026

Bruce takes a look at the proposed plan to open government owned grocery stores in New York City. The First one is scheduled to open next year and the cost is going to be 30 million dollars and 9,000 square feet. That could get you 30 Aldis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acton Still Hasn't Addressed This Issue 15.04.2026

Kids This Young Aren't Equipped to Deal With This 15.04.2026

Today in Crazy 15.04.2026

In this edition of today in crazy, Bruce plays audio from a woman who blames her boyfriend for having too nice of a car which caused her to speed and drive recklessly, John Kennedy talking about the loon wing of the Democrat party, and Joe Biden being unable to differentiate black people from each other.

Fitting End to Another Blue Jackets Season 15.04.2026

Bruce gives a few more thoughts on the back and forth between Vance, Trump and the Pope and then wraps up the show talking about another finished Blue Jackets season. The coach, Rick Bowness had some emotional comments following the final loss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Do They Care More About the Criminals Than the Victims? 14.04.2026

Bruce laments the fact that we've come to a point in this country where the vast majority of the left is more worried about the treatment of people committing crimes here in our country than getting justice for the victims and families of victims. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even More Crime in Ohio 14.04.2026

Bruce spends the majority of the second segment giving updates on violent crimes that were committed here in Columbus. It's yet to be seen if justice will be handed out appropriately, but Bruce doesn't have high hopes for that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce Weighs in on the Pope Trump Beef 14.04.2026

Bruce carries over his comments on the beef between Trump and the Pope from yesterday. Trump was in the wrong for posting the picture of him as Jesus, and the Pope has much better things to be doing then kowtowing to Muslims in Africa. He should absolutely be visiting Nigeria. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Swalwell's Career May Be Over 14.04.2026

Bruce gives an update on what's going on with Eric Swalwell in court. It's definitely not looking good for him as he's already withdrawn from the governor's race as well as from congress. This is probably the end of his political career. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Constant Crime in Columbus 13.04.2026

Bruce is sad to report more crimes committed here in Columbus leading to the deaths of innocent civilians. A truck driver killed three people and a wrong way driver tried to flee from the scene of their crash. Also a police report has surfaced over an altercation between Amy Acton and her husband. I wonder why the local news is completely ignoring it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inform...

Swalwell Can't Be Governor But Working in Congress is Fine 13.04.2026

Bruce takes a look at the Eric Swalwell saga. He has retracted his name from the Governor's race, but not before receiving some support from a few heavy hitters. Also, it's interesting to note that nobody is calling for him to step down from congress over these sexual assault allegations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beef Between the Pope and the President 13.04.2026

Bruce examines the social media beef between the pope and President Trump. They both have more important things to be focused on and need to stay away from attacking each other on social media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Money Monday 13.04.2026

Bruce chats with Josh Pick about the economy and tax season. They discuss some tips on making sure you get your taxes done on time and ways to file for an extension if you need more time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ongoing Negotiations in Iran 10.04.2026

Bruce plays some audio clips that give an update on how the negotiations are playing out in Iran. JD Vance and President Trump have made it clear that they're not messing around. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Doesn't Seem to be the One Who's Late Here 10.04.2026

Bruce plays audio that tries to claim that Donald Trump is late to the party in shutting down these Medicaid fraudsters. Well based on the numbers that show California has shut down 12 in the last year and a half while Trump shut down over 200 in one day, I'd say he's not the one who's late here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today in Crazy 10.04.2026

Bruce jumps around to a handful of different stories during today in crazy, from kids damaging doors and garages to the new space operation and Hunter Biden challenging the Trumps to a cage match. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
