Special Guest: John Ziegler and Penn State Scandal 14 Years Later: It's Complicated
2026/02/24 | 51 mins.
Czabe recently made his first-ever visit to Penn State, and was pondering what it must have been like when the Sandusky scandal broke back in 2011. And now with "the benefit of hindsight" he welcomes back JOHN ZIEGLER who has done the most exhaustive deep dive into what he calls the greatest injustice in modern America history. A destruction of lives and legacies, in a rush to satisfy a moral panic. Also, why most Penn State-ers have no appetite for the actual truth, they just want to avoid sounding complicit, and are happy the whole episode is behind them. Listen with an open mind. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to discuss the final exclamation point from Milan, as Team USA wins gold in overtime in men's hockey, making it a perfect pair of overtime moments with the women. Poor Canada, this was maybe worse than actually becoming our 51st state! Also, we talk about Lindsay Vonn and when "discretion should be the better part of valor." Alysa Liu didn't just steal the games, she gave a template to follow for all future skaters and gymnasts. Duke and Michigan battle it out on a neutral court.

It's inconceivable how little some of the highest-profile and highest-paid media "stars" are these days. MORE....

So Many Dumb Ideas On 'Fixing' the NBA's Tanking Problem
2026/02/18 | 31 mins.
Czabe flies solo today as he's traveling to Arizona with his mom and daughter. The NBA Draft Lottery is worse than before, but Czabe has a simple proposal to return the league to "normal law" before making any more counter-productive "fixes." The Olympics still deliver the human drama that should resonate with everyone, but there's always a few "bah humbugs" out there. The feds are stepping in to help fix the "Poo-tomac" (Potomac River). Who knew bridges took that long to build? Plus bored apes, bangers, and what "Real Feel IQ" would look like. MORE....
