So ok… a while back I interviewed Will McFadden (#Storytime on iHeart Radio) all about podcasting and thrills and chills and tea spills of it all. It was designed to be a companion cast to the ep I did about Meghan Markle’s new podcast (09/02/22 What the Why, Tho? ) so like, listen to that and then this one if you’re a completionist like me. If not, whatever, it’s a full interview, no edits, the most legit podcast I’ve done! Strap in for some eeeasy listening, baybees… also VOTE IN THE MIDTERMS!

So ok… President Joe Biden signed the “Proclamation on Granting Pardon for the Offense of Simple Possession of Marijuana” which grants over 6,000 pardons for simple marijuana possession (and yeah, that’s a thing, even if it isn’t so simple, so chill out in the comments unless you’ve googled 21 U.S.C. 844). Anyway, I celebrated accordingly.

On March 14th 2022 Dolly Parton rejected her nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, rolling the very foundation of rock! We of course, respect the queen's decision, twas a most resplendent defiance and we are all not worthy (righteous air guitar riff).

On March 1st, 2022: The world gasped in horror as the Wheel of Fortune came off it’s tracks, rolled into the audience and exploded, burning the studio down to the ground leaving only Pat Sajak and Vanna White to survive… is what you figured happened the way the internet lost its vowels about that episode. It is hilarious though.

Here’s the one that broke the Chaddosphere: Neil Young pulled out of Spotify in protest of them not pulling some Joe Rogan Experience episodes and Chad brought the facts and a lil opinion to the table and the Brosphere got the TikTok sillies.

Still in the New LockDown, let’s pull some classic vinyl Chad from the Vault! Recently, a meme concerning the oldest false eye in the world has been circulating the internet and it seemed appropriate to spin an oldie from the Day in response: Back in 2017, the University of Pennsylvania wanted to unearth the body of HH Holmes cuz Conspiracy Theories and Chad was having NONE OF IT! So drop the needle and sit back for this one cuz it’s a lo-fi wild vintage jam from the Before Times when we had no idea how wild it was gonna get.

A eulogy is a tough thing that no one wants to do but sometimes you have to do. Like eating cucumbers: Sure, you clearly said “no cucumbers” but they put ‘em on there anyway and you don’t wanna make a thing cuz everybody’s doin what they can here and picking them off is just ridiculous to watch and to do and it’s a really nice place, famous for their salads and honestly, when is the last time you had a really good salad? What I’m sayin’ is: I got the job of getting a little drunk and doin a eulogy for Norm MacDonald.

It’s a new day, a new format, a new Birdcast episode and waking up in 2021 is still really weird. But it can always be worse, just look at the NY Yankees: 8 of them have tested positive for COVID19 even though they were all vaccinated and two weeks out. Should we panic?
