In JOJ Episode 90, all three Robinson brothers reunite for a raw, unfiltered conversation covering sports betting psychology, mental health, cold plunges, dystopian movies, Black Mirror theories, artificial intelligence, and the future of education. The boys review The Running Man, break down their favorite Black Mirror episodes, and connect dystopian fiction to real-world surveillance, propaganda, and social credit systems. They also debate whether AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are making people smarter — or just lazier. Along the way, they talk grounding sheets, placebo effects, padel vs. tennis, hole-in-one vs. bowling a perfect 300, foreign accent syndrome, weird internet conspiracies, and why exploring unknown spaces (digital or physical) feels so addictive. This episode is equal parts funny, philosophical, and unsettling — classic JOJ energy. 👇 Subscribe for more long-form conversations on culture, philosophy, fitness, technology, and life.
