Guest Ted Scottstrong joins to discuss his new show about preparing for the machine uprising, and things escalate quickly. The crew brainstorms anti-bot weapons (foam cannons, trained falcons) and explores the inevitable rise of the sex robot economy—including timeshare robot pussy, robot douchers as a career path, and Crazy Larry's Fuck Robot Emporium. Yes, really.
But that's just the warm-up. The conversation somehow touches on serial rapist alpacas named Buddy, guard alpacas, sniper peacocks, and the attack turkeys that guard Ted Bennington's farm. We discuss robophilia, the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, and whether base-edited babies mean corporations can soon patent human beings.
