Bird Road Podcast

The election is over and Issue 1, along with most electoral efforts to stave off the brutal, unforgiving nature of our bitter, regressive society failed miserably in Ohio. Still, we had Bryan Quimby from Street Fight Radio on to discuss the ramifications. Yes, this episode was before the vote. You can direct your complaints to RINGR.com and that’s all I have to say about that except for everything I say during the first 10 minutes of this episode. 

Check out Bryan on Twitter @MurderBryan and you should also be subscribed to Street Fight, if you aren’t already.

Our Florida interview with Billy Corben ran super long bro, so we opted to cut out the Miami-centric section and make it into this BONUS Ep. Strong city Mayor? Strong countywide campaign finance reform? Strong attraction to David Beckham’s enchanting eyes? We get into it with the director of Cocaine Cowboys, The U, and all-around Florida Man Billy Corben. (Keep an eye on the feed for the statewide Florida edition, which will come out on Saturday.) 

City of Miami recommendations:

No on 1.

No on 2.

No on 3.

Miami-Dade County recommendations:

Yes on 1.

No on 2.

Yes on 3.

No on 4.

No on 5.

No on 6.

Them Bird Boys are back after taking September off and boy does Jewish Dave have a lot of ideas for skits. We get back into the news of the day which involves the Supreme Courts and other fun things. We tell bad jokes. I literally just got done editing this episode and already can’t remember what we talked about in it.
