In This Week’s Show, episode 261, our robot overlords force cum-beer up our noses until we promise to stop promising we’re “nice guys.”
Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Influenza hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying its veralency…
Shea’s Life Lesson
This week Shea learned that getting the Flu is terrible. It smells like rotting death upstairs…

But before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

Round Table
Have you guys tried this? I picked one up today at my local beer store. It's from Great Divide Brewing in Denver. The hop profile is a bit more bitter than you usually find in a stout, but it definitely helps balance out the malts and alcohol.

In preparation for the release of Terminator: Dark Fate, I've decided to do my best to prevent Judgement Day and scoured the internet for ways to help our would-be robot overlords hate us just a little bit less.
It did not go well.
The news is full of stories like, as you may recall an earlier episode, the tragic story of HitchBOT. The autonomous robot designed to peacefully hitch hike its way across America? Well, it got murdered. It managed to cross Canada but when it went south into Philadelphia to hike back, it's remains were found strewn across the interstate. It had been murdered because... fuck it why not?
Obviously some of the robots have seen horrors, but surely that's not the norm, eh?
Initially, I thought the best place to start would be service bots. For what machine would be less inclined to exterminate us than those designed to help? right?... Wrong. As Japan does it's best to make robot caregivers for the elderly, we've put our service bots to use Stateside by making them pick up shit. Like the Tinki drone, that's meant to fly around and use its impressive array of AI abilities to spot, pick up, and carry away dog crap. Literally. It’s a quadro-crapper-copter.
123tinki's fleet of robots have already collected an astounding 1.3 billion turds since their public release in the UK. Making them almost as full of crap as Brexiters. Skynet is obviously going to turn this bullshit detection system against us... https://123tinki.com/nl-nl/dogdrones-en
Perhaps parents at Stanford’s Shopping Center in Palo Alto forgot to change their baby's nappy since a securioty robot deciced the best way to serve and protect was to try to murder a kid. presumably, so other villians couldn't. While shopping, the mall's automated security bot knocked down, then ran over, an 18-month old toddler. Weighing in at over 300-unforgiving pounds the machine quickly flattened the child. Fortunately, SkyNet's "just run'em over" initiative isn't out of beta yet and the kid lived and will go on to join his parent's efforts to further infuriate the robots by suing the hapless machine.
