Cockadoodle Coup!: Recent Episodes
Pretzelhead
When the most well-executed espionage happens, you have no idea it was even carried out. Host Pete Wallace explores history, geography, security, genetics, the economy & more to examine a serious potential threat to all of humanity: the Chicken Apocalypse. Some may dismiss it as doomsday prepper hogwash. Some may consider this satire or dark comedy a la 'Monty Python' or 'Shaun of the Dead'. Through research, interviews, and insightful commentary, the case for grave, poultry-based danger to humans is made clear. Ignore this information at your own peril!

When the most well-executed espionage happens, you have no idea it was even carried out. Today, I will explain how multiple NFL owners, a Hollywood screenwriter, a Super Bowl winning coach and others were involved in a devious plan to turn human against human, divert millions in taxpayer money, and weaken government defenses ... a plan that has the stench of chicken deception written all over it.

When it comes to transportation safety, there is quite a lot to consider. Remember, chickens can fly, but not very far. So, poultry deployments require long distance modes of travel. Today we take a look at chickens and the world of transportation and shipping.

“Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.” No, those were not my words. That was a quote by Werner Herzog, German film director, writer, and actor. Today we'll look at how chickens are portrayed on screen.

People watching for the Illuminati have it wrong. They're not looking at the appropriate indicators for trouble. It's not a triangle or pyramid you should be watching out for. It's an oval, the shape of an egg. And the signs are all around us: chickens are up to no good.

Video games have been around for decades, and have had a significant influence on culture around the world. It's a massive, fast growing industry. In today's episode, we'll look at how chickens are already undertaking efforts to leverage that size and influence in their nefarious schemes, experimenting with virtual worlds and alternate sets of rules.

You think cats' ability to always land on its feet or bats' ability to echo locate is impressive? Or the chameleon's ability to change colors? Remarkable, for sure. But humans eat chickens, and lots of them. So, today we're going to discuss abilities chickens have that humans do not, and why that makes them even more of a threat to us.

It's a new year and time to refocus. Today we look again at social media. TikTok in particular has been quite active when it comes to chickens and eggs, and for the safety of all, we need to fully understand what is happening to the best of our ability.

Phone conversation with friend of the show and former Rhode Island state historian Howard Pixmore.
We've picked up listeners in yet another country again, but there is always room for growth. For example, reaching different generations of people can be difficult, with their unique perspectives. Boomers. Millennials. Generation X, Y and Z. What an alphabet soup to sort through. But we must forge ahead to save lives. https://extension.psu.edu/history-of-the-chickenReferences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_generations https://time.com/3858309/attention-spans-goldfish/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/26/style/step-chickens-tiktok-cult-wars.html https://www.chickencheck.in/farm-to-table/traditional-chicken-breeding/ https://www.chickencheck.in/faq/supersized-chicken/

Phone conversation with Bob Wallace, Adjunct Professor of Semiotics at UMass-Plainfield. Again, no relation.
Please do yourself a favor and do not eat while listening to this episode. You've been warned. Chickens are so threatening to humans, and so unscrupulous in their tactics, that even their droppings can harm us in multiple ways. Yes, I'm talking about their excrement. This topic is quite unpleasant, but the dangers cannot be ignored.

Trite or cliche as it may be, it is still true that children are our future. We must raise them well, guide their understanding of the world around them, and teach them to think for themselves. Today we attempt to gauge how people in general, and particularly young humans, view chickens, in order to survey the future of chicken management and defense.

You would think that chickens might look more positively on vegetarians or vegans. After all, they don't eat chicken, right? They should be off the hook. Why would there be any question? Because when it comes to the vicious, cannibalistic beasts we call chicken, nothing is off the table.

This Thanksgiving may not look like years' past, but we do have a lot to be thankful for. In the challenging year known as 2020, it just might take a little longer to think about it or realize it. For example, I'm grateful for science alerting us of chickens' terrifying ancestry. I'm also grateful that today we have a surprise guest.

Here's a fun fact: did you know that roosters are omnivores? Yes, they will eat just about anything. Another fun fact: roosters are mean and more often than not aggressive, so they do not have friends, even among other roosters and hens. So why would a country choose a rooster as their symbol?

The school or team mascot. An intentionally selected symbol or idea representing a team, sometimes providing a rallying cry to compete, or even fight. And sometimes ... a source of controversy. With all the talk about potentially offensive mascots, how has there been no discussion about mascots based on chickens, roosters or hens? Talk about your red flag!

Cold and snow, substantial distance between you and major cities, a Russian backstory, few distractions, and a location and climate where no one expects to find a creature like you ... sounds like a great place for training grounds or maybe a hideout. Yes... today, we take a look where we might least expect to find insubordinate American chickens.

Can 2020 get any more strange or dangerous? We may need a new word for all this ... like "strangerous". After all that's happened this year: a pandemic, economic meltdown, protesting and rioting, an American Presidential candidate from the Blue Hen state .. And now, one of the most 'American' vehicles ever created, the Jeep, is back in the middle of a decades-old dispute involving - yes - chickens.

Did you know ... The United States government keeps millions of chickens at secret farms in undisclosed locations, protected by guards and multi-million dollar security systems? Is this some clandestine operation the public shouldn't know about, or morally questionable experiments taking place? Or maybe it's just some paranoid delusion? Today we take a closer look.

The world of academia. Intellectual and idealistic. Home to research and higher learning. And if we're not careful, a launching pad (so to speak) for a relatively flightless bird's counter strike against humankind.
