Rest in peace to my grandparents. And I did not like it. Really? That or texture Joseph in the Technicolor Dream Code.

I was like, look, I get what you're trying to do. You want me to get into the vibe, but these just aren't hitting for me. Yeah. Although that one, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joseph. That shit kind of went. Was there a play that you really liked as a kid um yeah i think it was when i went to go see like this version of huck finn but it was only because the stage mechanics were so next level like they did on a raft and like

that shit started moving the background so it was more like it wasn't really the play but as a kid i was like it felt like a disneyland show where like shit just starts moving and you're like oh this is dope but i didn't really i don't really know what anything's about anymore the place uh all right well it is friday february 26th uh and super producer anna hosnia's twitter account is suspended with absolutely no explanation uh twitter what the fuck zeit gang let them know jack not you the other one the bad jack jack get off your shit what the fuck is happening man there's not even apparently she didn't even get a fucking like nothing explanation no explanation just straight bandage um not not okay that's so frustrating yeah all

right let's tell the people what's trending besides that yep yep uh syria airstrikes are trending those happened uh last night uh biden or biden ordered uh airstrikes on multiple facilities at a syrian iraqi border control point in southeastern syria um so just more escalation with iran yeah and it's like that's what that's all i can say aside from the other dynamics of it uh this doesn't seem like how you get anybody to come to a negotiating table you know like with the nuclear deal and all that uh but apparently very long time uh obama he had a middle east military strike within three days of being in office and trump was nine so biden was really restraining himself with 37 days in that's wild that they are like okay we gotta what's our first military strike put our dick on the table.

And it's so regular. It's like, let's just kill these people over here, huh? Yeah. Like, what the fuck? And it's always in the Middle East. Like, we're still, nothing's been learned. The entire, whatever. I mean, this is why.

I feel like we should also, like, at some point, change the way these way these like reports are worded. So it's not like a military strike in nation and more like they fired missiles at this many people and this many people died. Uh, that, well, they have to, well, that's the whole,

you know, that's why like war reporting, especially biased sort of nationalistic ones like insurgents were destroyed. That just seems like it's of a era that we should be uh beyond moving beyond people who have found them in a unlive untenable situation and have resorted to sectarian violence based off of the actions of the united states huh huh um but uh yeah that's so we'll see what happens i mean they're still enriching uranium and things like that but uh these are i mean there's so many there's so many foreign policy things he has to decide on whether it's this or afghanistan does he leave does he

stay it's all many decisions to be made by biden biden uh golden calf is trending uh thank you so much thank you so much and i appreciate the award for being the recipient of the 2021 golden calf we're having the sickest left calf out here i mean one of the best you know and uh i guess i it's hard to stay humble when you get this many awards you know yeah i think that's what we're talking about, right? Yeah, people have worshipped it I think the Israelites worshipped it My golden calf, yeah Yeah, your golden calf No, Miles

No? No So people are making biblical references Because at CPAC People were caught wheeling in a giant Or people took a picture Of some officials wheeling in a giant uh or people took a picture of some officials wheeling in a giant golden donald trump statue uh people were comparing it to you know the bible and shit

bible and shit the golden calf that uh there was someone who had a really clever tweet that was sort of like if like your observations about the israelites and the golden calf from biblical times is like those don't hit because this is too obvious and on the nose those aren't good observations so let's let that one go and i'm like yeah that's true you're just it's very it's so parallel the only difference is not a calf it's just trump yeah um but he is wearing shorts so he has golden calves uh technically yeah yeah uh definition though yes but all that to say i did actually receive the golden calf award so i don't want yeah i don't want people to lose sight of that either uh john gettert is trending uh he was the u.s gym gymnastics coach who was associated with Larry Nassar, apparently knew about Larry Nassar's abuse of the athletes and did nothing, allowed it to happen. him were announced on Thursday morning.
