A clip from 2015 features Hillary Clinton claiming that she does not sweat, which the hosts use to joke about her being a robot. They also discuss her exaggerated reaction to the balloon drop at the DNC, labeling it a calculated performance for cameras and memes.
The "Rubio Robot" meme, stemming from Marco Rubio's repetitive debate performance, is discussed as a potential coordinated media narrative. The hosts question whether such memes are spontaneous or the result of "dirty tricks" and professional mnemonic strategies used by political campaigns.
Robot Memes, Movie Promos, and the Movie "Pecker"
The hosts discuss the current media obsession with robots, linking it to the release of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction." They play a dispassionate movie promo from Mark Wahlberg and engage in a "guess the movie" game. Dvorak fails to identify the 1998 John Waters film "Pecker," leading to a humorous exchange about their respective movie-watching habits on long flights.
