February 09, 2026 Head to Head in "THE BIRD WARS" | Modern Apes | with Tristan Bowling & Daniel Bridge-Gadd
This week the boys decided to switch it up and do something a little different. The boys are going Head to Head in the first ever "BIRD WARS!"
How it works is both of the boys were given five topics of birds as if they were RPG video game archetypes:
Grunts
Speed
Stealth
Brutes
Wildcards
Best of 5 is how the game gets decided, and its off of who has the best argument, not just whos bird is best outright at the highlighted skill set.
Make sure to leave a comment for each round so we can know who the true winner is when its all said and done. And if you like this style and want some more, let us know in the comments as well.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the Modern Apes Podcast for more thought-provoking discussions and insights!
Welcome to a thrilling episode of the Modern Apes Podcast! In this episode, your hosts Daniel Bridge-Gadd and Tristan Bowling dive into the fascinating history of presents during Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. Join us as we unravel the origins, meanings, and some of the best gifts throughout Hanukkah history.
The Rich History of Hanukkah Gifts
Hanukkah, celebrated for eight nights, goes beyond just the lighting of the menorah. The tradition of gift-giving is a relatively modern development, but it carries profound significance.
Origins of Hanukkah
Historical Background: Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days. Understanding Hanukkah's historical context helps illuminate why gifts have become integral to the celebration.
Evolution of Gift-Giving
Early Traditions: Originally, Hanukkah was a time for joy, not necessarily gift-giving. Children received "gelt," or chocolate coins, symbolizing the importance of education and the story of Hanukkah.
Modern Adaptations: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in America, Jewish families began to adopt the tradition of giving gifts, similar to Christmas practices. This shift reflects wider cultural influences and the desire to create festive family traditions.
Best Presents in Hanukkah History
During this episode, we’ll discuss some of the most memorable presents gifted during Hanukkah. From meaningful tokens to extravagant surprises, these gifts not only bring joy but also convey messages of love and heritage.
