Bird Road Podcast

We celebrate the tragic suicide murder loss of serial rapist and pederast Jeffrey Epstein. We kept this episode pretty short and didn’t really talk about much news or politics. 

We went super long on the triumph that was Quentin Tarantino’s buddy comedy Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood and hit all the cute little dumbass cultural conversations that orbit it. It’s kinda fanboy-ish type stuff so skip this one if you want. I won’t judge you. But you’re the one who has to live with that you did. 

We do other stuff too. I dunno, you listen to it, tell us what you think. 

Music in this episode is by David Rosen. Check out Piecing It Together and Awesome Movie Year anywhere podcasts are… sold? 

This week we break down Kamala Harris’ proposal to forgive (some) student loan debt to approximately 15 people starting ridesharing businesses in the Tenderloin. 

We also definitely do not disparage the venerable Alan Dershowitz (***parody***parody***) and look ahead to the Democratic debates. Also, a return to Love/Hate! 

We get an update from our intrepid Puerto Rico correspondent Carlito Brigante on the streets of Old San Juan on the night that Gov. Ricardo Rosselló resigned his post. Very insightful stuff from a subject matter expert. 

We catch up with the absolute dog-shit reporting committed by the moronic television reporters in Manatee County, FL who spent their weekend harassing a homeless person in the name of their own version of red-faced conservative social justice. Special shout-out to the thousands of awful affiliate stations and news sites that aggregated this putrid story. Not gonna link to any of those pigs here.

RIP in peace to Rip Torn, the god. 

Being a Democrat means grinning and gritting while everyone in your party trips over their dicks at every possible opportunity. It means being aligned with an intensely weak power structure that cowers at the idea of achieving any kind of power and constantly excuses itself for every one of its predictable failures. It really is a shit party. 

Donald Trump vs. The Squad© takes? We got ’em. 

Sucker-ass cowards like Chris Cillizza? We shot ’em. 

The primary season is a race to the bottom. 

You can catch us on the ‘gram, doing grams, eating Teddy Grahams, wake boarding and getting ink. Welcome to the New Bird Road. We check in on some of our new idols in the realm of dude-bro self help scams, the saddest section of self help scams. 

This week, Jewish Dave got skinny just in time to die horribly in an earthquake. We explored the idea of mob justice in the context of Jeffrey Epstein and child concentration camps. We made fun of that dumbass Trump supporter from the Young Turks video who thinks Joe Biden is a socialist.

We talked with Amy Westervelt, the host of smash hit podcast Drilled, about climate liability suits, denialism, what puts Miami in unique peril and all things environment. She was in town recording the Season 3 opener of Drilled, a live show held at the Frost Science Museum (which is a cool museum you should check out if you’re around South Florida). 

But first, Q and Jewish Dave break down the debate as only they can: by comparing Kamala Harris to Denzel Washington and  in Training Day and Eric Swalwell’s huge weird head to James Vanderbeek’s huge weird head in Varsity Blues.

Drilled is definitely worth a subscribe, rate and review, and it can be found everywhere they publish podcasts, including Apple and Spotify. 

We had Splinter News senior writer Hamilton Nolan on to talk about the inspiring effort to unionize Miami and Florida’s adjunct college professors. Also, we were a little late to the Kyle Kashuv thing, but presented that dumbass story in context with a little goblin we found named 22-year-old National Review columnist and Harvard ghoul Liam Warner, who sounds like Teen Monty Burns, and is someone we’re all likely going to be doomed to be read for the next 80 years.

After delays and postponements, floods, cancellations and travel problems, we finally saw THE END OF MIAMI come to pass! Bird Road’s latest live show at Life House Little Havana tackled the issue of climate change and its effect on South Florida, casting a tired eye to the future when we will all grow gills and hucksters, grifters and lawyers will rule the county. 

In Jewish Dave’s stead, Q welcomed guest co-host Jerry Iannelli, politics, environment and civil rights reporter at the Miami New Times. 

Our first guest was Kilan Ashad-Bishop, a biomedical scientist and a member of the Miami Sea Level Rise Committee. Then, People’s Progressive Caucus of Miami-Dade chair Geoff Campbell explored the political hurdles of making any progress in Miami, Florida, and the country.

We’re trying something new: making the content of the show actually good. 

We talk about how future-former presidential candidate Jay Inslee might actually be onto something with his climate plan, and how the conservatives are slowly starting to embrace the imperialist hegemonic status it occupies by putting its boot on the neck of the global south. 

Our next live show is The End of Miami at LifeHouse in Little Havana. RSVP now!
