    Happy Chinese Year Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Tax Filing Season. It's a busy weekend on the show but first we talk about the https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/trump-impeachment-trial-day-3-house-democrats-rest/ (impeachment trial of the former President). Which reminds us of a certain lawyer who appeared as a cat on Zoom. Biden secures https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/02/11/world/covid-19-coronavirus (more vaccines for everyone) but there is some thinking that it could still be a long time before we are back to normal. Especially https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2021/02/10/salesforce-says-9-to-5-workday-is-dead-and-employees-will-only-come-into-the-office-one-to-three-days-a-week/?sh=726ee39b5d16 (when it comes to working). And the Boss's Jeep ad gets pulled https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/11/entertainment/springsteen-arrest-new-details/index.html (after revelations of a DWI).

Johnson & Johnson reveals the https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/29/health/johnson-coronavirus-vaccine-results/index.html (efficacy of their Covid-19) vaccine today and what it could mean for all of us. Why we're worried about the https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-variant-south-africa-us-2bc397370cdd44afe916ddd6edbaf870 (latest variants of the Covid-19) from around the globe.

In fact, comedian John Mulaney may have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhkZMxgPxXU&list=FLDY7okKwIpaNrs5KhKi3tWQ&index=166 (summarized it best), even before Covid. The introduction of our first female Vice President has also highlighted https://www.wsj.com/articles/wave-of-women-in-congress-puts-men-in-top-supporting-roles-11611320401?mod=politics_lead_pos4 (a big shift in Washington, DC with more male spouses). And the big highlight of the night, was the https://www.cnet.com/news/bernie-sanders-inauguration-mittens-the-funniest-versions-of-the-meme/ (Bernie Sanders meme) and his https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/22/business/bernie-sanders-mittens/index.html (now famous mittens).
