"Co-hostest with the mostest" Paul Doroshenko is hostest with the mostest this week. His guest is Jan Semenoff, an expert on breath testing and a former police officer.

There are concerns for police officers and other first responders as they come into contact with people infected by coronavirus.
Jan Semenoff speaks about his homemade hand sanitizer recipe which he shared in the journal, Counterpoint.
And finally, there's a Ridiculous Driver of the Week.

Kyla and Paul then ask whether the seven-day window to file for a review of an Immediate Roadside Prohibition will still be enforced given the current situation.
