He’s back with a special guest! Randy Rainbow (4 minutes) 

Lookie there! It is Black History Month and Presidents Day rolled into one – Black Presidents History weekend, I guess. Quick, can you name the presidents who have also coincidently been black? Barack Obama! Very good!

Lots and lots stirring in the worldly soup these days. Olympics end, Russia starting a war as Republicans try to figure out which side they are on, the January 6th committee about to go live on TV – boy that will be TV worth watching – and Covid maybe subsiding or maybe getting ready for another bad wave. Things will be shaking soon. Good thing we have a steady hand at the wheel.

BTW, you may not plead the 5th amendment during this quiz!
