It's been an interesting five days....  There's a lot to talk about including the banning of President Trump from his favorite social network, and of course, the rioting and destruction which happened at the Capitol last week.  Alex roasts the bison horn guy and makes fun of the Karens who made this all possible.

Alex barely talks about the news, instead opting to talk about vaccines and tell stories about ski trips in the past involving a curious kid and a pack of dogsledding dogs.
