We’re a band of political nerds, operatives, trolls, and sometimes experts on local, state (FL), and national politics. Why did we pick the name “The Yard Sign”? Well if you’ve ever been a part of the political process, you know the debate that’s been happening since the Greeks invented Democracy... “Do yard signs help win elections?” The truth is, no one knows, hence our tagline “the most important irrelevant podcast in politics”. Maybe this show will make a difference, maybe it won’t, but we’re going to have a lot of fun doing it. Just like our friend the yard sign.2023 Ciencia Política Política y Gobierno

  • Bad Bunny Super Bowl Shockwave: Florida Gov Race Heats Up

    Bad Bunny Super Bowl Shockwave: Florida Gov Race Heats Up
    Oct 3 2025

    In a triumphant return after a much-needed hiatus, "The Yard Sign" podcast—Florida's original political powerhouse hosted by Johnny Torres and David Cabrera—kicks off with renewed energy on October 2, 2025. Motivated by recent seismic events like the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the duo reflects on their 191-episode legacy, the explosion of conservative influencers flocking to Florida, and the need for fresh perspectives, including pop culture infusions and new voices like a Puerto Rican co-host and returning guests. With producer "Patriot Mike" (a nod to his New England Patriots fandom) at the helm, they dive into the week's hottest topics: the groundbreaking announcement of Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LIX halftime performer, courtesy of Jay-Z and Roc Nation. The hosts unpack the cultural pride for Latinos, Bad Bunny's meteoric rise from Puerto Rican grocery bagger to global icon (net worth ~$50M), his political controversies (advocating Puerto Rican independence and socialist vibes despite U.S. ties), and Republican backlash over his fluid sexuality and fashion—drawing parallels to Prince's iconic 2007 show and dismissing boycotts as self-sabotage. They highlight the NFL's international push (aiming for 36 global games) and how this taps into 750 million Hispanics worldwide, predicting a fun, boundary-pushing spectacle that prioritizes global viewers over "rich white" stadium crowds. Shifting north, they touch on New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's rising profile amid urban progressive stirrings, teasing deeper dives into his "fortune teller"-esque influence on city politics. The episode culminates in a kiddie-pool primer on Florida's wide-open 2026 gubernatorial race to succeed Ron DeSantis, amid Trump-DeSantis fence-mending. Torres and Cabrera endorse U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds as the frontrunner—praising his finance background, Naples roots, Trump endorsement, sheriff slate, and record $31M haul—positioning him as more qualified than DeSantis with state-federal experience. They caution Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez against jumping in too soon (advising congressional bids instead to avoid career burnout), dismiss Casey DeSantis rumors post-nonprofit scandal, and note House Speaker Paul Renner's northern base as a debate foil. On the Dem side, ex-Rep. David Jolly's centrist switcheroo gets a polite nod but slim odds in a +2M GOP voter state. Wrapping with calls for more primaries and Icarus warnings for overambitious risers, the hosts urge listeners to like, share, and subscribe for weekly Thursday drops at 5 PM ET—blending politics, culture, and unfiltered banter for Florida's evolving electorate.
