Listen Later

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike.
This week's episode sees the guys discuss DARPA, the weird and terrifying world of military black budgets and top secret projects and their potential influence upon the world. Also discussed. murderous chimps with robotic arms, cross-dressing terminators, cyborg Jesus powered by the spear of destiny, rat-monkeys with a collective hive-mind, the complexities of accessing porn during the coming war with the machines, Asimov's three laws of robotics, self-aware AI's having a concept of morality and we tenderly approach Gaz's traumatic first viewing of Short Circuit 2 which has subsequently left him emotionally scarred.
