14 - Party and Bullshit
Monday Oct 07, 2019
Monday Oct 07, 2019
This week Chris and David report back from Bird-dogging the Mayor about the coverup of the police murder of Edson Thevenin. Also Chris is sober. Bernie Sanders needs to fix Taco Bell for the people. Liz Warren's plans aren't enough, because you gotta build movements. For our wildflowers: Spiders ride the lightning and use electricity to fly!

11 - I Drink your Milk Steak
Monday Sep 09, 2019
Monday Sep 09, 2019
This week David gets back from a #Neveragainisnow rally and didn’t get hit by a car! Though we later agree that bikes are cars too (in the best way possible). The Joker is (un)cancelled. We look at the paltry offerings of the CNN town hall (except for Bernie, we stan him). Then we get into the equally sticky topics of population control and fish poop. Finally, for wildflowers we ask the tough question: “Can waifus consent to polyamory?” All this and more on IRONWEEDS! (Oh and a minor correction: when Chris says "ringworm" he means "hookworm.")

This week on the pod, Brit returns from her fieldwork in the North Star State, David gives us permission to call Ben Shapiro a manlet, local police do their darnedest to protect a killer cop, Trump wants to listen to your “mental extremes” on your Alexa, and thousands of NY State weed convictions are overturned. Hurray!

7 - All Cats Are Beautiful
Monday Aug 12, 2019
Monday Aug 12, 2019
The gang gets a welcome radio transmission from the future, and have our friend and comrade Caroline Nagy (@carolinenudge) on to discuss the recent DSA National Convention (https://capitaldistrictdsa.org/).
Afterwards we reel from the sudden death of billionaire-child-rape-ring-leader Jeffrey Epstein, and marvel at our near-constant feeling of unsurprising shock with that we dub "pikachu-face."
We check in with the Democratic primary, and discuss Columbia Development and disgraced developer / rat Joseph Niccola's most recent shenanigans in Troy (https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Nicolla-back-in-spotlight-with-220K-tax-break-ask-14284539.php)
Our wildflowers this week is all about healthy happy cats! Meow!
