I’m a boy, so I like robots, and I like saying the word robots (which is derived from the Russian word for “worker,” robotnik)
If we emphasize the human side, it will just turn into Worst Job I Had, when It should be worst job anyone has.
I’m tired. I can barely stay awake. Can’t think.
Frangry: well i was trying to get AWAY from the robot thing
Andy: Can you think of a good angle? Some on that list are non-robot. How about:
- Your Robot Friend: What Would You do With One
- Fun With Your New Robot
Frangry: like i said, i was trying to get away from robots…
Andy: Friday’s Show: Not About Robots
Touchdown!
If only every show could be not about something instead of being about something: so much easier!
Frangry: are you drunk?
Andy: Fine, we’ll go with that one.
- Friday’s Show: Are You Drunk?
Frangry: ok im gonna stop emailing you now.
