Guest Ted Scottstrong joins to discuss his new show about preparing for the machine uprising, and things escalate quickly. The crew brainstorms anti-bot weapons (foam cannons, trained falcons) and explores the inevitable rise of the sex robot economy—including timeshare robot pussy, robot douchers as a career path, and Crazy Larry's Fuck Robot Emporium. Yes, really.
But that's just the warm-up. The conversation somehow touches on serial rapist alpacas named Buddy, guard alpacas, sniper peacocks, and the attack turkeys that guard Ted Bennington's farm. We discuss robophilia, the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, and whether base-edited babies mean corporations can soon patent human beings. 
Other highlights include: 

• Bono's Cancer (Bo Jackson's blood as a miracle cure)
• Chatgoopt.com and whether AI needs guardrails
• The Robotics Special Olympics and why metalhead mental health proves heavy metal saves lives
• Man bear pig references that somehow age everyone in the room
• Weimar Republic of America and the coming age of unpersoning
• The scientific debate over whether the 49ers' injuries are caused by ELF exposure from a nearby power plant
• Methane gas turbines, facial recognition in gated communities, and why you can apparently still build a weapons-grade laser in your garage

Plus: mugshots, sobriety talk, and the official Tedification of another guest. If you've ever wondered what happens when conspiracy theorists, tech bros, and former meth heads all get named Ted and hit record, this is your episode.

Bot Stoppers: Prepping for the Robot Army (and How to Fight Back)

From Rebunked to Bot Stoppers: Scott Armstrong on Human Agency vs. Automation
Sex Robots, Drone Wars, and the Second Amendment: A Future-Proofing Debate
Gates, Guards, and Grock: Tech, Tyranny, and the Tools to Resist



Today on Uncle Ted Talks, we welcomed Scott Armstrong—now officially “Ted Scott”—of Rebunked News and the new show Bot Stoppers. We dove into the accelerating pace of AI, robotics, drones, and the future “robot army” problem, and why Scott launched Bot Stoppers to track weekly breakthroughs and crowdsource practical civilian countermeasures under a Second Amendment framework. From low-tech foam cannons, slippery ramps, and falcons vs. drones to lasers, EMPs, and legal gray areas, we explored how to preserve human agency in a world racing toward autonomous machines, deepfake realities, and even sex robots—plus the cultural fallout that may follow. We also hit MIT’s tech forecasts, GMO debates, nuclear and battery advances, and the creeping normality of surveillance and digital control—from gated-community facial recognition to power-hungry AI data centers—while keeping it very Uncle Ted with debates, jokes, and a few legendary hockey brawls for good measure.

Scott shared where to find Bot Stoppers and Rebunked, his vision for future live testing (yes, blowing up robots), and why now is the time to innovate, legally organize, and build tools and community resilience. If you’re into human freedom, practical tech, and an irreverent take on the next wave of automation, this one’s for you.
