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.

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.

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.

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.

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
