Episode 14 – Robots
In this discussion about robots, Kyle focused extensively on the idea of having sex with them. We talked about just what a robot is, the future of robots, whether we would want to own one, and if we are scared of them. Exhausted fireman showed up, and Kyle explained how he built a waterjug robot. We also discovered whether of not Tig would want a live-in robot.
We played these clips:
