About this episode

The episode discusses AI, gaming controversies, and the bizarre future of food involving bugs.

AI & Robots: Waymos seem to be plotting something in an Atlanta cul de sac, China has rolled out a legit mecha suit. Mixtape Game: Jim has played the game Mixtape which has been stirring up controversy over paid reviews which leads to a discussion on the state of gaming and our media in general as they push us to eat bugs and dirt. Bugs In The Food: Speaking of eating bugs, we love to watch the sugary drunks covered in bees and the man making dough covered in bees. This is the future.
