Bird Road Podcast

Just the original Bird Boys this episode, drinking bird-tainted Bird Water. Q began this episode defending the LGBTQ community from the New York Times’ weird homophobic animations, and this immediately enraged Jewish Dave, who was standoffish and mean-spirited for the entire show. We soldiered on, backs against the wind, and discussed the #SurrenderSummit or whatever they’re trying to call it. We also talked about a recent Treasury Department rule change that will make it more difficult to find out who funds disgusting subversions of democracy. We talked about Emmy nominations for like an hour but we ended up deleting all of it so don’t bother asking. Maybe that’s bonus content. Or maybe not! 

The music is by David Rosen.

Catch Q at Podcast Movement on Monday, July 23. 

Catch Jewish Dave’s new 360 video Palindrone 360, which drops Friday. 

It doesn’t feel like we accomplished much, but great art’s truest critic is time. 

Yo yo yo catch us at our booth at OzyFest this summer where we’ll be promoting Bird Water, water that has been soaked in birds, and see Jewish Dave during his breakout session, “How GG Alin Would Have Hearted Animojis” and “Democracy and dRUMPF: A Crisis in Civility.”

In this episode, we talk to Roosevelt University professor David Faris, author of “It’s Time to Fight Dirty: How Democrats Can Build a Lasting Majority in American Politics”, and dream of 58 states and a legislative body where the worst thing we have to worry about is the elite Democrat consultant class.

In other topics: there’s going to be a new Supreme Court justice. The apartment complex pool wars have begun, and only the dead shall see the end.

Vote no on the Miami Freedom Park soccer stadium. Just kidding, it’s not up for a vote. You have no say in this stupid thing.

Music in this episode is by David Rosen.

We trade the horror of national news and politics for a more preferable flavor of the genre, as we speak with Cristian Ponce, creator of Frecuencia Kirlian – Ghost Radio, a compellingly made online web series that everyone should be checking out.

After that, Jewish Dave walks us through some of the best films from what has been an underwhelming year of cinema.

So there, you animals, we gave you a break. It’s a shitty week/month/year for politics, and it isn’t getting any better, so enjoy this fun stuff while you can.

Cristian Ponce’s studio is Tangram Cine, and you can find them here:

Big thanks to Monika Leal for lending her voice and translating services to our show this week. Be on the lookout for a late-week show where we’ll get back to our bread-and-butter, discussing the futility of maintaining progressive positions in a country that’s too stupid to give a damn.

We spoke with Thomas Kennedy of the Florida Immigrant Coalition during a day of protest in Miami. Quick update: Thousands of families are still separated. ICE is still a rogue government agency that looks more and more like the Gestapo each day. The government has still failed to provide any proof that the 500 families they claimed to reunite actually exist. 

Get active. Be a part of your local organizations. Make people feel uncomfortable. Vote.

We also revisit the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez primary win, the Annapolis shooting and the arsonists burning down the judicial branch of our government lol jk it’s cool but yeah.

Man, we only covered like half the awful things that have happened this week and we’re still exhausted. Jewish Dave gives us a dispatch from the wildly disappointing Nevada Democratic Primary where everyone ignored a field of qualified, compelling progressives and instead voted for crates of remaindered Al Franken books.

The bright spot: we talked to Ryan Lindsey, a progressive candidate for Wyoming’s state house who’s putting education and land use at the core of his insurgent campaign. Check him out at fighting4us.org. (Special thanks to James Hearn for helping to make this interview happen.)

In love/hate: the correct North Korea opinion is no opinion. Other jokes. Look, if you get that deep into the podcast you may as well finish it. Music in this episode is by David Rosen. Subscribe. Rate. Review. Check out Entre Dos and Piecing It Together as well.

Dad-gum, this is a jam-packed episode. Hope you’ve got some spare time and Otter Pops if it’s hot. 

On June 19, if you live in District 5 in Miami-Dade County, you can do something more important than listen to a snarky, subversive regional politics podcast to express your disdain with the status quo–you can vote for Eileen Higgins, a candidate we actually support. Q and Jewish Dave spend time with future-Commissioner Higgins before teaming up with Will Hines (aka Knoxx Prime, aka Knoxximus, aka The Pretty Petty) to discuss the month that was in the world of memes. 

In Love/Hate, Q is psyched about a high school kid messing with rubes but is crestfallen to learn that Jack White has become lame. Jewish Dave bla bla bla movies bla bla misogyny. 

Learn more about Eileen Higgins at www.eileenhiggins.com. She’s got the right stuff. 

You can follow Will Hines on Twitter @Knoxximus, Instagram @Knoxximus, and on Facebook. So do it.
