The suicide of Leelah Alcorn, a transgender teenager in Ohio, is discussed following a viral social media campaign and a petition for her chosen name to be placed on her tombstone. Activist Dan Savage has called for the arrest of Alcorn's parents, citing their refusal to accept her gender identity. The story has sparked a global conversation about the treatment of transgender youth.

Rick Santorum reportedly contacted Google to request the removal of a derogatory definition associated with his name in search results. Google refused to intervene, citing its policy against manual search manipulation. The hosts argue that Santorum is too "wimpy" to handle the situation and should have used his political platform to threaten Google with congressional hearings to force a change.

The hosts discuss Rick Santorum's presidential candidacy and the "Google bomb" that redefined his last name as a byproduct of anal sex. They suggest that the media keeps bringing up Santorum's name specifically to drive traffic to this derogatory search result, a campaign originally started by columnist Dan Savage.
