36: Welcome to New York pt.3: Here and There

Pigeons in New York City? Absolutely groundbreaking. This week, we dive headfirst into the winged weirdness that takes over the Big Apple—whether they’re real or not, we’re still debating. Then, we explore why we once adored those feathered friends (hint: Charles Darwin is involved). Along the way, we swap stories about comedic altitude sickness and offbeat movie nights (hello, “Cocaine Bear”), because there’s never a dull moment around here. Next, we dissect the jaw-dropping “affluenza” defense in the Ethan Couch case, proving that real life is sometimes stranger than fiction. Finally, we land on an AITA debate from Reddit: should you just pack up and move to NYC on a whim? Our take might sound familiar, but it’s a can’t-miss conversation. Well, we laughed!   00:00:00 Victorian Child Syndrome 00:09:08 Cocaine Bear Cinema Night 00:18:30 Pigeons vs. Rats in the Big City 00:23:56 Story Starts: From Rat Kings to “Affluenza” 00:30:40 AITA Big Move Edition 00:45:00 Post-Holiday Reflections 01:05:00 Wrapping Up   Connect with Us Love a good laugh?
