Kyle and Emmanuel are in a new makeshift studio, trying to figure out what to adjust, an update on the trucker siege taking place in Ottawa, how the eventual end of mandates will be because the guidelines were followed, how the Democrats may yield yet another talking point to the Republicans, a review of Canadian news coverage, why CTV News Channel is much better than CNN, trying to understand the blockaders' motivations and tactics, what the cops should do in this situation, train horns and foghorns, Trudeau's words, the existence of swastikas and Confederate flags at the blockade, a "first cousin" of January 6th, describing that date as "legitimate political discourse," the weird Republican reaction to the January 6th commission, there are only 329 days until Lee Zeldin is no longer in power, seeing Republicans freak out over redistricting for a change, how what's happening in New York is fixing what was broken a decade ago, all of the snow has disappeared, an update on the Webb Space Telescope, how mass media seems to be promoting war, seeing Putin at the Olympics, questioning whether to say Kiev or Kyiv, imagining Ukraine not becoming part of NATO, how it's generally true that countries bordering Russia aren't NATO members, the surprising fact that Finland and Sweden aren't NATO members, Emmanuel's problem with the United States leading the charge in this battle, how right wingers seem to think this shouldn't be our concern, how superpowers never seem to learn the lesson about invading other countries, the prospects of Russia creating a fake video to justify an invasion, a call for seeing the evidence, a demonstration at the Shinnecock Nation concerning preserving the land where their ancestors are buried, a strong recommendation for "Reservation Dogs," an old track from a local band called Insanity Defense that focused on a Satanic worshipping cult in Northport.

A surprise snowstorm hits the area, an ill-fated plan to get wings for Super Bowl Sunday, the amount of advance planning Kyle and Emmanuel did, how the place they chose had no plan in place to manage large crowds of people who were all assigned the same pickup time, questions about smoke shops, how people in the long line for wings were looking out for each other, lessons that can be learned from this, Emmanuel explains why football is a boring game, a mixup during the national anthem, questioning why so many anthems are necessary during the game, Emmanuel's experience hanging out with Dr. Dre, listening to the trucker convoy people's online communications, the mistake of being too fair, how the positivity rate in Suffolk County has plummeted, why this is the reason restrictions are being lifted, the downplaying of far right extremism in the anti-vaccine movement, the Emergencies Act is about to be invoked in Canada, 2600 has been posting audio communications between Canadian blockade organizers, what has been particularly enlightening, a review of "The Great Beauty" from 2013, some of the unusual characters that were portrayed in this film, a review of "Twelve Years a Slave" from 2013, why this film felt particularly real, why this material should make people uncomfortable, how the law was used to justify the horrors of slavery, why this film needs to be seen despite its horror, the need to fight against laws forbidding the teaching of such things, music from the film.

Coming in at just the right moment, today is a very unique date, Emmanuel had great fun filling out forms today, why this will be the last time numbers will line up like this for a very long time, the fact that it's Tuesday is extra special, how FM radio frequencies are always odd numbers in this part of the world, Putin takes the next step in his anticipated attack on Ukraine, the weirdness of the two breakaway republics and our reaction to their recognition by Russia, why this latest action is a serious step, what happens next is much more significant, Putin's unhinged speech yesterday, how Biden seems to be accurately predicting each step of this crisis, the childish way the GOP expresses itself, thoughts on RT's perspective, the familiar tactic of rewriting facts, how Fox News and RT have the same talking points, a feature on Ukrainian interval signals from shortwave radio, how Kyle has used these chimes as alerts, a request to identify a language, competition emerges against Lee Zeldin from the Republican Party in his race for governor, how fourth doses aren't likely to be recommended, the great progress that has been made against the virus and where the credit for this belongs, thoughts on listening in to trucker convoy communications, a review of "Ida" from 2014, facts about the Catholic Church in Poland during the communist years, how the Holocaust isn't directly referenced, a review of "Birdman" from 2014, how this film had the appearance of a single take, Emmanuel's thoughts on superhero movies, a tribute to Gary Brooker from Procol Harum.
