This week, the guys try to get to the bottom of whether you are really you if you are a robot. Evan is chomping at the bit to become a cyborg, but they're not sure at what point you stop becoming 'you' if you're just all electronics. Do you need to have skin and bones? Or at least have a brain? What about being just a brain in a vat? What if we already are all just brains in vats?! Josh and Evan might not have all the answers, but it's fun to philosophize about. Not everyone enjoys pondering life's big what-ifs, but it can be a fun exercise that's a lost art these days. The guys also talk about spicy neighborhood secrets, bring up some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and check out what's coming up on the calendar!
