There's no crying on the Oregon Trail. The boyz hit the trail, buy some bad karma and really reminisce. Someone broke a leg. And we don't finish - but will we?

Some more Dufus Dude Moments;

• We open by celebrating the rebirth of comedy - and the true end of Rogan.
• “We don’t need money on the Oregon Trail. We need more meat.”
• “If you need to go home that bad, just go home" and why baseball’s unofficial pace-of-play policy sucks
• Fantasy football: Sometimes the strategy is surviving week two with your roster intact.
• “I just beat the Sonics. I made Gary Payton cry. What more do you want from me?” -- Remembering the greatness of Rodman, Ronaldinho, and wild athletes
• Civilization or Risk: Half the game is conquering the world; the other half is waiting for Freitas to take his turn.
• Also, Jaxson or Caleb?

Matt and Kyle dig into the current mass surveillance debate around FLOCK and AI accountability. For the first time, the guys bring some clips to get into Clip Roulette.

Key Takeaways

• How Kyle's town is at the center of debate where a company literally overruled a police department and put its own surveillance cameras back up after the cops took them down.
• Turns out anyone in California can pull your license plate location history — including your crazy ex. Yikes.
• The real AI doomsday scenario isn't robots, it's one exhausted power grid worker getting psychologically played into pushing the wrong button.
• Hot Take: forget banning surveillance tech, just make a citizen committee spy on the spies for 90 days.
• Also: fantasy football draft grades, Pokémon, beef with Gap's owner, and more.
