This week, Sarah and Zach are joined once again by Gabriel, returned from vacation.

First, we explore all our A.I. feels and once again crib from one of our eternal faves, Gattaca, with a robot that must pretend to be human to follow its dreams. Then, we go through the Snapchat-looking-glass to discover the Grumpy Cat of politics. And then we explore what happens when a small community tries to get rid of time… just for a bit. Plus, mistaking cat pictures for guacamole, a day with no end, cat filtering deep fakes, and a non-zero amount of people yelling at this podcast.
