We have a fun/interesting one for you this episode guys. The sprawling and surprisingly deep lore of the classic video game series, Mega Man. It’s a subject near and dear to Jbats’ heart, one which a lot of people would agree needed exploring. We use that lens to explore the idea of what would happen if robots became self-aware and the ethical worries that might evoke. So get cozy, diagnostics on this new model are gonna take some time to learn how hard it is to be human…
We also launch our Patreon this episode!
Music in this episode by the The Megas and The Protomen.

When Death comes to claim most of us, the setting is usually envisioned as a peaceful one, though possibly wrought with feelings of sadness, loss or regret from those around during that time... but what if you could choose the time and method of your demise? We're talking about how we wanna shed our mortal coils this episode, as well as some famous folk who might've called it correctly, so grab a drink, and get comfy as we discuss.
We have promos for Hysteria 51 and The Most Okayest Podcast this time around, show them some love and let them know you heard their promo on our show!
As always big ups to Zombie Hyperdrive for our rad intro/outro music!

You may know him as Lazlo Hollyfield in Real Genius, Det. Tony Montoya in Running Scared, Ronnie Wingate in Get Shorty, Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite, or Casey in the Taken franchise and more recently as Dr. Roberts on Dream Corp, LLC. on Adult Swim; the greeat Jon Gries has been a consummate 'that guy' character actor on the big and small screen for nearly 40 years. We had the fantastic opportunity to talk with him about his role in Real Genius, specifically what his thoughts were if the lasers in the movie were real.
Caution, your imminent vaporization via laser is about to begin!
We hope you enjoy this special episode!

2017 will go down in history as a very bad year for everyone... except the ultra-rich.
