last night and picked one up. How do they look? So they're good?
They're for sale. They're for sale. Are we near the front door?
Are they forward facing? They're not forward facing? They were still way
in the back, carelessly unloaded. Do we have to go to retail shops
and make sure that these things are I was doing my due diligence, but
there's a hobby lobby near my house, so that's the only reason I stopped
by there. So if you go by your local Martell, no one's gonna
buy these and things. Again, I don't know. I think we're okay,

We made it through January yesterday. We're getting through April today, buncle style.
I'll try February third. This happened the United States announced it was tracking
Chinese spy balloons over America. Then they shot one down over the East Coast.
Remember that. Yes, that was this year crazy. And then everyone
got mad and turned into experts on balloons and weather balloons and I hate it.
I hate it. Here I do too. And how quickly the biggest,
the biggest story in the world, and the world's coming to an end.
It's like, oh, vaping's bad for you, and they just moved
to something else. Yes, Oh, vaping's killing teenagers across Oh there's covid.
Okay, let's talk about this now, Like, aren't we collectively smart
enough to not get worked up about any individual thing? Shouldn't we have learned
by now? Yeah? All just keep you engaged, keep you mad.
Yes, yes, you know. That's why whenever you see a headline that
is like some big deal or they're trying to make it a big deal,
just look at it and go huh huh me better. Before all this,
because the news was you know, researched and sourced and then presented once a
day or big news on the weekend in the newspaper whatever. Now it's just
scream sentences. They're spying over our nuclear plants, that's where they were spying
over. You can come up with anything, really, I thought Jeff Kavanaugh
to speak easy. Well. He had a really good idea. He was
like, won't we just send a balloon up there and just bump it?
And what? Just bump it? Oh, just bump it up into Canada
and I just get another, send another bloon out there and just kind of
bump into it, bowing. I was like, genius, Actually, Like
they're not expecting that they're expecting to shoot it down. Maybe just go up
there and just kind of like, what are you doing mine? So did
we shoot it? We shut it down over these codes like the US military.
Yeah, Oh, they're just waiting to put the crap up to right,
all ready to go. And then they fluttered down to the ground and
then they scrambled up crambled tanks. You know, they found it fell into
the ocean. Was in the ocean, all these scrambled boats off the coast
of South Carolina. Coast Guard had something to do. Yeah, like,
oh, finally, go jeez, we've just been busy fishing. If you
remember February fifth, it was the sixty fifth annual Grammy Awards, and the

got one there. Also, Beyonce won her thirty second award, become the
most winning Grammy artist of all time. How about of course, of course,
I guess Taylor Swift didn't have an album out there. She must not
have had an album out this year. Wait till this year's Grammys. Oh

to munch some albums she re recorded. No, it'll be a triangle to

fast anymore. She's more of a Mark Andrews guy. No uh, Jake
Ferguson Yeah. Uh. February sixth, the MAVs officially trade Spencer Dinwiddie and
Dorian Finney Smith and draft picks to the Nets for Kyrie Irving. Well,
I remember that kind of popped out of a sword of nowhere right on Sunday,
Gooday afternoon. It was only like a week or two prior. I
think that Kyrie whispers of all he wants out, he don't happy again,
and we're all kind of God, who's gonna get saddled with this guy?
Yeah, it's us? Yeah, and he's he is great. You got
to make it work. Is it working? I don't. I don't know
that. I don't even know. Very sucks. One Luca misses a game
because he had a babby Yeah, and then but the next night he can't
Kyrie Copton play because he played the night before. And them together in these
games that kind of matter, like we need both of you. It's a
it's hard to tell. He's a great basketball player, though, one of
the best ever. He's incredible, and that's what you do as a team.
You try to acquire great basketball players to play basketball talent. February eighth,
Good point, Mike. Twenty four year old Davion Daveon Irvan was arrested
on charges of animal cruelty after a string of incidents at the Dallas Zoo.
Oh, he broke in there, and he was letting all kinds of animals
run free. Right, the leopard nova went missing, We had pinned,
the vulture died, and much more. Eight. They think they don't know
because he was busting there, just setting animals free. Albeit dumb Penn had
a argue that there's something okay, Well, if he stabbed a bird,
we don't know that he did it. Well, you know he didn't stab
a bird. We don't know that he did. But Penn had a stab
one. So someone at the same time this guy was regularly breaking into the
zoo also broke into the zoo and stabbed pen the vulture. Who stabbing bird?
Words? How do you even get a hold of a bird to stab
it? What a lazy bird? Yeah, he's snuck into those enclosures.
I think if I had wings and could fly, I could avoid getting stabbed.
Never get stabbed. Creepy thing. About him one thousand years. He
kept like going and like there are people at the Dalla Zoo were like he's
like asking questions like how to get to the back. And he's got of
being very obvious with has intentions. And they finally caught him, and they
caught him at the aquarium and then saying the Dallas Aquarium. Really he just
loved he loves the animal enclosures. Yeah. Uh, it's his legacy.
Is heb jail or what he's in jailable? Believe he's arrested for animal cruelty
charges. I believe he's in jail. Ya. Feb twelve, Chiefs beat
the Eagles thirty eight thirty five to win the Super Bowl. Pat Mahomes is
your MVP. Streams of Rihanna went up over six hundred and forty percent after
her halftime show. She was outstanding what she said, I'm pregnant, pregnant
belly. Was that the one where they had all the platforms not up and
down? That's pretty cool? Yeah, that's cool. Oh yes. The
syndicated comic strip Dilbert is dropped by many newspapers after the creator posted a video
online in which he characterized black people as a hate group. Oh Delbert,
I've never had one Dilbert look at my African American aspapers. So he remained
on some, yes, some, although I don't read the comics anymore,
I just get them in the Dingo's Morning News. He remained on the Confederate
Gazette, which I refused to use as a source for Dinghy's Morning News in
case anyone you've always a pre shaded that. March second, the Alex Murdall
trial got convicted, finally sentence to life in prison. And then you know,
because he killed his wife and his son had a couple of gun charges
as well. You guys watched the was it the Netflix stock on that.
I ended up not watching it because I'm a little bored with true crime,
to be honest. But they extrapolated it out and make it into more episodes
than they need to be always so much fluff and I just need something that's
going to get to it. But the case is fascinating. It is.
March fourth, Netflix aired its first global live streaming event with Chris Rock's stand
up special Selective Outrage, and I loved it. It was great. Never
watched it, but I love his stand up and you heard the audio from
it and all that stuff too, though from the event. I was on
it for me, you know, that was I was very into that story.
It was the first time that the really publicly I guess worldwide brought the
the Will Smith stuff, right, yeah, that the Yeah, I mean
he had done tour dates and stuff, but this was, you know,
Netflix is like, screw it, let's this is a big story. Let's
capitalize. And they had a pregame show and a postgame show, which is
kind of cool and I think it's David Spade and a couple others were hosting
a pregame and postgame show of the event where he comments on what happened and
was that the year before the at the Academy Awards, so twenty three.
Yeah, it's pretty wild. Sorry, slap the Chris Rock that happened?
What the hell? What world do we live in? Nuts to defend his
pretend wife. Yeah that it hates him anyway. Are they still married?
I don't know. No, they're well, yeah, they're still They're not
together. They haven't been forever. Yeah, So he was, according to
her book, part of the big act. So he had a fake love
her so hard that he slapped Chris Rock. Yeah, but he had been
allegedly mad at Chris Rock for years, so that's wild. Yeah, this's
history there. He's kept that family in his mouth for some years now.
His comedian A Nightmare. Chris Rock made it to tell the Truth, Tell
the Truth joke based on Will Smith's accent and the movie Concussion, because that
was the year that Jada and Will did not go to the Oscars because it
was the hashtag Oscars too white or something. And I think Chris Rock made
a joke about his accent in the movie Concussion, and that made them mad
for a long time, allegedly. But sports with than that that, he
said something about Jada as well. Yeah, which the hair right, well,
and she's been very open about how she felt about how she looked because
of so I mean, I know, I just thought she looked like a
cool ass lady with short hair. Yeah, it was gorgeous, nice ball,
Yeah, looks good, bald is beautiful. There you are in most
cases those cases, and you could be one of those cases. Here.
He's still out, Thank you, Thank you. Mark's nine. The Recording
Industry of America reports that Vinyl out sold CDs for the first time since nineteen
eighty seven. Yeah, how about that making CDs? Well, here's the
problem. They took it out of the car. Vinyl sold forty one million,
CDs sold thirty three million. I think once they started, once you
started getting a car, buying or releasing, and then you look down and
go, oh, there's no CD. It's weird. I remember I got
a car one time, the years ago, maybe twenty fifteen. I remember
getting like halfway down the toll and going, damn it, this thing didn't
have a CD player. What do I do? I wanted that, because
I still I do want Did you already have your CD visor up above your
sun Block visor? Your case logic? You guys, envelope folder thing don't
even know the story of me and CD books, booklets. There's a story.
Can we pass on it? You can pass on it, that option,
you can pass on it, okay, because you don't have time for
you way anyways, choose too. But I have a very meticulous way of
collecting music and have four years and it involves more CD books than any normal
person should ever have in their car. He said, you told the story.
Anyway, There's more to it. Left Notes, March twelfth, ninety
fifth Academy Awards and your winner. Oh, we can do this. Hold
on j J. Wait everything all the time, and it's right yeah,
everywhere everything, it's right place. Great movie, I called it. Do
you think love that movie? I don't think he liked it. Jeff hated
it. You called a sweep. I think I did. I you know
what I like? I really liked it. And I was confused obviously at
the time, and I was like, what the hell when it goes full
haywire and they're doing a Samurai spin onto a b plug and there's hot dog
fingers. Yes, it's so wacky. But the best mark for me of
a good movie is one that sticks with you and it has I want to
see it again. Actually, God is beautiful. Movies incredible And I don't
know if there's fout the line, but uh, like all I ever wanted
was to do taxes and laundry with you. Well, he say, in
another life, I would have in another line, just do have a laundry
man and do taxi. It's one of the most beautiful lines in like,
yeah, recent movie history. It's another life. I could have done laundry
and taxes with you. I don't know, Yeah, right, I want
to watch it. Yeah. Again, I think a lot of people want
to see things that they're familiar with and it's safe and it feels, you
know, normal. I'm one of those people that I love being surprised by
something, and I couldn't have been more surprised by that film. God,
it was cool. I remember the first time watching that trailer thinking what is
this movie? What is it going to be? I don't know, I
don't get it, man, I was excited. I don't know if I'll
ever understand it either. And I think that's the point, is it's supposed
to confuse you with the what infinite timelines? And yeah, basically great movie
multiverse and yeah, that's the first time I think of film is like touch
based on a multiverse outside of Superhero. Yeah, thats really cool. Yeah
to see it, yeah, man. Shout out to them. Last shout
out eight twenty four for the day March sixteenth will be at April Tomorrow,
March sixteenth, the Houston Zoo announces that ninety year old radiated tortoise mister Pickles
