AI, Deepfakes, and the End of Reality
The crew dives into Google's V03 (not VO5 shampoo) AI video generation tech and its inevitable use for deepfake pornography. They explore how AI-generated content will destroy the concept of presumable innocence—if everything can be fake, nothing matters anymore. The discussion spirals into existential dread about whether the podcast itself, the hosts, and reality are even real, with repeated callbacks to 'whisper chips' and whether birds are government drones.
Parenting, Cursing, and the Rocket Scientist Pipeline
Robbie discusses teaching his three-year-old rocket science (lift, thrust, gravity) while the kid refuses to learn the TV remote. The hosts debate whether kids cursing is bad (Robbie tries not to curse at home) and agree that potty-mouthed rocket scientists who say 'You wanna see some fucking shit?' would be the coolest presenters ever. Dingo shares a parenting win where his 'dumb' son is actually reading above grade level, while Robbbie admits his kid picks up profanity at school.
TV, Movies, and The Last of Us Controversy
The hosts discuss why people are mad about The Last of Us season two (a beloved character death in episode 2) and the creepy online discourse about the young actress not being attractive enough. They pivot to video game adaptations, with Robbie loving Hitman and the new Mario movie but finding Minecraft incomprehensible without nostalgia. They cover Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, and agree that the new Beetlejuice sequel was terrible.
Sports, Dunking, and Nostalgic Bike Culture
A rambling discussion about basketball (they all played in high school, some could dunk), Dingo's attachment to the Knicks, and why golf sucks. The conversation devolves into bike nostalgia—mag wheels, pegs, skeleton wheels—with Robbbie defending his decision to let friends ride on his handlebars and Tad's bitterness about passengers on his pegs.
Colonial Hygiene, Dysentery, and Why Nobody Wants to Go Downtown
In a deeply uncomfortable segment, the hosts imagine what sex was like in colonial times when nobody showered, diseases like dysentery and typhoid were rampant, and basic hygiene was nonexistent. They agree that COVID would've been a blessing in colonial times because you couldn't taste anything. The bit eventually ties back to their son saying 'poop' instead of the family-approved 'caca.'
The SQUEAM Video and Kyle Moody's Return to Awkward Comedy
The hosts become obsessed with a viral video of 'Squeam'—a dad giving an increasingly unhinged prom night talk to his son in the bathtub, mixing random non-sequiturs ('star of the squeam,' 'naughty boy crew') with actual parenting concerns. They identify it as Kyle Moody (pre-SNL YouTube comedian) and discuss how his character-based comedy was funnier than his later SNL work because the artifice was the point.
You wanna see some fucking shit? Check out this fucking rocket science. That would be the coolest rocket scientist. Everyone's lined up for his presentation.← All episode posts
