Yes, thank you to Johnny Davis for that one. Shout out to Johnny Davis. We are here. We are here to tell you what is trending. We are about to go on stage in Washington, D.C. As you listen to this, we will be kicking it with you guys in D.C. Maybe some of you are listening to this while we are on stage,

while you're in the audience at our D.C. show. Take it off. That is rude. Let's talk about what's trending. Bill Barr apparently told Donald Trump, stop tweeting. Yeah, right. Yeah. That worked. i'm glad the message yeah yeah yeah what do you mean like because he's like hey you're making it really hot for me yeah exactly like like everybody who has ever worked

with him they're like you keep undermining everything you keep saying the quiet part out loud basically on twitter so you'll you'll be like, nobody would have necessarily thought I was working for you on the Roger Stone thing if you hadn't tweeted. Right. Like, somebody better do something about this. Somebody better do something that I just talked to. Right. Anyways. Pretty soon he's just going to tweet, don't worry, Bill Barr will handle this.

Right. Jeff Bezos is trending because he set a record with the purchase of a $165 million home. Oh, fantastic. That's so great to hear, and I love it for him. I love it for America. We have the highest cost house now in your face. I don't know what the last one was.

I think it's the most anyone's ever paid for a house. Well, I don't know. Ken Griffin put down $238 for a New York penthouse. Ken Griffin Jr.? No, Ken Griffin Sr. He put down what? $238 million for a New York penthouse. So I think it could just be in LA, the most expensive in LA.

So that's record. Okay. Yeah. Anyways, I bet it's nice, man. Woo-hoo-hoo. You deserve it. Yeah. You really deserve it.

Well-earned. Fuck. Bernie tweeted something recently about how he made like 15 billion in a couple hours or something dude 165 million dollars in a home yeah you can't you couldn't appreciate 165 million dollars there better be dinosaurs on that property like it better be like jurassic park yeah yeah yeah with the ride built into right yeah and dennis nedry That is an important part of the whole backstory. We got dots in here. See, nobody cares.

Sonic reviews are in. Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic is coming out tomorrow just in time for Valentine's Day, a popular romantic film. And I would say surprisingly good. It depends on what your expectations were, right? Right. I think some people, there's such a mix of reviews.

Some say, how Sonic the Hedgehog avoided death by Twitter with a dramatic whatever twist. Sonic the Hedgehog proves the internet wrong. Sonic the Hedgehog review. Jim Carrey makes a grand return. Then there's other ones that just says, Sonic the Hedgehog is bland and disposable. Forbes says, Sonic the Hedgehog is another surprisingly good video game movie. Yeah.

I don't know where to land on this. That's my boy, Scott Mandelson. Not really my boy. I was on the same podcast with him once in the past, but I do like his movie analysis, like film industry analysis. I can't necessarily ride for his opinions on movies, but he said that Sonic the Hedgehog

isn't just a perfectly enjoyable kid-targeted comedic fantasy. It isn't even just a pretty good based on a video game movie flick. It is the fifth good video game movie in a row. He was pointing to Tomb Raider with Alicia Vikander and Rampage and Pokemon

Detective Pikachu and get ready for it Sony's surprisingly good Angry Birds movie 2. These are all movies he loved? Yeah. I mean, I think he just sees everything and he's like, yeah, that was pretty good.

Oh, right. Like he's not like, you know, this is Kubrick. He's not a critic. Yeah, man, that'll work. That was fun, huh? People, yeah. Wow. The kids that were there with me,

they were having a hoot. They were having a hoot, yeah. Anyways, I go out and make up your own mind on Sonic the Hedgehog the movie. And then finally, Galentine's Day is trending. Shout out to

all the gals out there. Leslie Knope. This unofficial holiday that she has launched. I do like the idea that all the holidays we have currently have been through, you know, the boomer machine where it's all just like as profitable as it possibly can be. So like to have unofficial holidays that aren't like designed to make money necessarily. Oh, but wait, the corporations have begun oh really yeah so there's you mean besides our live show tonight galentine's day with miles and jack
