"It's weird, because it's an old timey kind of guy that keeps her setes playing," he says. "She obviously has access to the internec ecause it's not supposed to be out of time." But even then, when she types in key words, melancholya death, and she only gets like one hit explaining the trajectoryo of the planet,. is this just as simple as, this is the nineties, or something like that?

Note: We recorded the opening segment before the latest development in the Joe Rogan story, but we briefly address that in the promo segment right after the break.
