Humanoid robots are running faster, boxing, and getting better every year — so naturally Tahir Moore and Patrick Cloud start planning for the robot apocalypse.

On this episode of Dam Internet, You Scary!, Tahir and Patrick get into humanoid robot competitions, AI fears, the economy, food and restaurant safety, tipping and delivery-app prices, a reported Power Rangers-related burglary story, and whether it might finally be time to move somewhere and start a farm.

Then the conversation gets more personal. Tahir talks about getting older and reconsidering what success actually means: Does he still want maximum Hollywood fame, or would making great work for an audience that genuinely cares be enough? That leads to a conversation about comedy as a craft, short attention spans, IRL streaming, artistic freedom, celebrity, privacy, and why artists like Yasiin Bey, Erykah Badu, Curren$y, and Terence Crawford represent a different kind of success.
