2021 really upped its game this last week for us and not only remodeled the top of Jordan's garage and house, but took out the power and internet. So here we are a week late with power and communications back up to chat about the ice storm in Oregon and Texas, Bitcoin hitting a trillion dollar cap, Senators taking trips out of the country, Wuhan labs/funding, and of course we learned a little and laughed at Shower Thoughts.
