Alon Nu recounts a detailed ghost story told to him by a man he met on a flight to Las Vegas. The man claimed his deceased wife communicated through a three-setting touch lamp that would turn on to full brightness by itself every day. The paranormal activity reportedly ceased only after the man's new girlfriend helped him donate his late wife's belongings and crucifixes to a Catholic goodwill organization.

Host Greg Carlwood reviews a report detailing excessive compensation for CEOs of major charities, including UNICEF, United Way, and World Vision. The segment notes that the March of Dimes reportedly only gives ten cents per dollar to the needy, while Goodwill CEO Mark Curran profits millions from donated goods.

The host proposes a "targeted goodwill" initiative where half of the show's monthly donations would be given back to a random listener. This idea is complicated by potential legal hurdles, as various agencies and gaming commissions might classify such a giveaway as an illegal lottery. The discussion criticizes the "convoluted system" of arbitrary laws that prevent individuals from gifting their own money to those in need.
