Bootleg Humans

Big news, peasants: there’s a new superior being in town, and his name is Lord Robert. His Excellency joins Adam to discuss their respective (and perhaps imaginary) trips abroad, belatedly open some birthday presents, and learn the correct way to serve rabbit to your dinner guests. Special guest star Jenna, Lord Robert’s sister, joins on the phone from Liverpool to learn some fun facts about ants and most definitely cut her brother down to size.

The Bootleg Humans are shrouded in darkness this week. Literally, not metaphorical. But despite the lack of light, Rob and Adam are here to brighten your day. The duo take a nostalgic drive through Adam’s Colorado upbringing, discuss favors and kickbacks in the chimp kingdom, and hypothesize what our impending communications with whales may bring. The star of the show is Delphi, the AI system with 2021’s most beautiful in-podcast glow-up.

Guest Star Joana joins the Bootleg Humans before her one-way trip to Mars to discuss love, Adam’s highly impressive work history, and Robert’s encounter with David Beckham in the R&B section of HMV. There’s also a discussion on the complexities of creating belts, hats, and electricity, and the groundbreaking revelation that it is the universe, and not you, that decides whether you order the Fish Taco or the Cochinita Pibil Taco.

In this week’s episode, Rob launches his “He’s Not A Bad Roommate” PR campaign, Adam recounts a highly-dramatic scene from Downton Abbey, and the pair talk plenty of shit on Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos. There’s also some mild chat about the benefits of psychedelics, an update on Adam’s archnemesis Pasquel, and whether it’s OK to tell children “Happiness is Temporary.”

The Bootleg Humans overcome squeaky shoes to review the latest drama in Rob’s chaotic love life, express their adoration for aspirin, and outline why they positively do not want to find themselves naked in a jungle. There’s also a long, largely ill-informed discussion about ants and the introduction of Adam’s new archnemesis, the legendary Pasquel.

In the debut episode, the Bootleg Humans discuss Adam getting his "head turned" by TikTok, speculate on the merits of "A Key To The City,” and bicker over the world's perception of Brits/Americans. They also tackle the big question: "Will Racism Ever Cease To Exist?"
