Kevin remembers them all and talks about the anti-science movement which is hurting America now. This scientist knows about viruses. We worry about the polarization of society. And Kevin talks polar bears.  Listen to the advice George Burns gave Kevin about comedy.

Troubadour Dave Gunders has the perfect funny song called Hole in the Head which is what we need during these trouble times.  Discussion follows about the partnership in crime of Putin and trump and right-wing media. This funny song takes the edge off.

Sprawling nature of Trump’s White Power Coup/Riot now evident. Putin and Trump are partners in crime, and destabilization. So are top lieutenants like Giuliani and Jenna Ellis. Contempt for MAGA-enablers expressed at end of show. Serious times deserve some serious pointed commentary. And satire. Let’s keep our senses of humor.
