On this episode of The Bee Weekly, Kyle and Ethan are joined by Kira Davis! They talk about the Bee fighting the New York Times and winning, the Tolkien Society going full on woke, and also try to figure out what the heck "race-norming" is. As usual, there is glorious hate mail and plenty of weird news.

This episode is brought to you by a new Christian fantasy dungeon crawler, Deliverance.

Make sure to listen to Kira's podcast, Just Listen To Yourself.

Kyle, Ethan, and Kira talk about the week's weird news like how someone mysteriously wrote "Joe Rogan is 5 foot 3 inches tall" in the sky above Los Angeles and how a New York Times columnist who believed Mayor Bloomberg could have given every American a million dollars is now very triggered by American flags. Cows may also now look like Bane but on both ends.

They also have another Heroes of the Faith segment this time featuring Aimee Semple McPherson.

Kira then asks Kyle and Ethan if they know what "race-norming" is and how the NFL is applying the racist rules that the federal government uses but this time to deny damages and payouts to players suffering from brain injuries.

In the subscriber-exclusive lounge, everyone laughs through bonus hate mails, reads some fan mail, go over the week's top subscriber-submitted headlines, and subject Kira to the Next Ten Questions.
