Robot Worms, Oreo Chicken, and Mole People

The future has arrived—and apparently it brought robot worms, Oreo chicken sandwiches, and people crawling out of manholes.

Rick Robinson and The Amish return for another gloriously unfiltered #ChatLivesMatter night, beginning with a soft robotic worm whose potential “off-label” uses seem obvious to everyone except its designers. From there, they consider China’s Robot Olympics, how close modern life has come to ‘The Jetsons,’ and whether technological progress should really be measured by how quickly humanity invents a fully functional Rosie the Robot.

The conversation turns to alleged daycare fraud in Oklahoma, billions of dollars in government waste, and a federal debt that has crossed the incomprehensible $40 trillion mark. Rick and Amish also examine political donors, Democratic infighting, redistricting battles, election-law rulings, and the Democratic Socialists of America attempting to establish a foothold in Oklahoma.

Then come the truly important matters: KFC China’s Oreo-bun chicken sandwich, mysterious “mole people” emerging near Penn Station, classic television, modern streaming frustrations, Tubi’s escalating commercial punishment, and the shows worth leaving on while falling asleep

It’s politics, technology, terrible food decisions, pop culture, and late-night chaos—because #ChatLivesMatter.
