Episode 54 - The Birds Work For The Bourgeoisie

Listen Later

"“All of the birds died in 1986 due to Reagan killing them and replacing them with spies that are now watching us. The birds work for the bourgeoisie.”

In this episode, Aislinn forces Miranda to endure more Cold War history as they delve into The Great Bird Conspiracy.  What is this odd conspiracy?  Who started it?  Why has it spread?  And perhaps most importantly:  How does Waffle House factor into all of this?

Maybe we should all be a bit more wary of those eyes in the sky.
