The boys drink and review Chocolate Cherry Stout by Firestone Walker Brewing, then discuss an alternative history book about the evolution of humans.  In this view of human evolution, a different group of humans – the Floyds – took over Beringia and then migrated into America. When Columbus came to the Americas, he didn't find Homo Sapiens. He found the Floyds.  The book starts by introducing us to this alternative modern life, where modern man and this other version of man are living side by side. We learn the history – from Beringia until the conflict with Columbus.  First contact took place in Florida, which is why they're called “Floros,” politely, or “Floyds,” derogatively.  The Floros are very compact and strong, and very useful in close-in fighting. They were captured en masse and taken to Europe to serve as infantry in everybody's armies.  They integrated into society to some extent, but remained second-class citizens.  Once warfare modernized, and close-in fighting was not prized to the same extent, the Floros lost some of their utility in the infantry. They still did manual labor, which they were very good at, but they didn't bring particularly good skills.  Modern man (homo sapiens) tried to integrate them into society.  One flaw in the book is an unrealistic expectation that there was no interbreeding – because the Floyds were not very attractive.  The Floridius Rights Movement advocates for the Floros and tries to help them, but the Floros don't want the help.  The book pokes fun at a couple modern themes.  Liberal woke activists who protest on some people's behalf, but those people don't really want it.  A simpler life is a worse life, and more material stuff makes a better life.  After the end of the book review, P&C discuss some of the issues raised by the book, such as why are we the only version of “man” left on the planet? Why did the Neanderthals and Denisovans die out?  P&C go into an extensive discussion of differences between Neanderthals and modern humans, and why we may have replaced them. 

P&C drink and review a cherry stout, then review "Florida Man," an alternative history by Allen Hunter. The novel features a different species of man -- Homo Floridius -- which occupied North and South America rather than modern man, so that when Columbus arrived he didn't discover modern man, but this primitive relative. The book delves into how modern man might interact with such a distant cousin.

Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide. Let’s start with a name-drop: over the past 20 years, Michael Dean Damron has played and toured with some of the greatest American songwriters in history: Alejandro Escovedo, Lucero, Rocky Votolato, Chad Price, Mike Watt, Eddie Spaghetti, Reverend Horton Heat, Drive by Truckers, David Allen Coe, Jerry Joseph, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Neko Case... Damron is tired, hopeful, and excited to play for new folks in a different part of the world. Oh, and he HATES to fly. Just another fear to overcome. On his upcoming tour of Belgium and Netherlands, Damron will be backed by the best there is, bassist Allen Hunter of Eels fame and guitarist/producer Dan Eccles of Richmond Fontaine and Fernando. A subtly powerful trio to make you shout, cry, and remember what it means to be alive.
