<h3><strong>This is the Bee Weekly for 3/12/21.</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kyle and Ethan are joined by CEO</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/SethDillon"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seth Dillon</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and Managing Editor</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/JoelWBerry"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Joel Berry</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. They discuss the eccentric Elon Musk tweeting at The Bee while roasting The Onion, all those who have been  recently cancelled in the culture wars, and Alabama kangaroos. Talk turns to Big Tech censorship in the subscriber-exclusive lounge with The Babylon Bee's CEO and, of course, there's plenty of weird news and glorious hate mail.</span></p> <h3><strong>Intro</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seth and Joel arrive in beautiful Southern California and everyone announces their preferred pronouns. They want to know what Trump's breath smells like.</span></p> <h3><strong>Subscriber Dare</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We'll do anything to get you to subscribe.
