JulyDiaz 2797 Posted July 17, 2015 Dr. Nathan Bateman has hired Caleb Smith (Matt Besser) to conduct a series of turing tests to ascertain whether or not a machine’s artificial intelligence has actually achieved independent consciousness. In these interview sessions between Caleb and test subject Melissa, you’ll hear how a machine defines humor, music, and love. The United States of America has also hired Caleb to interview different citizens to see whether or not they are replicants, androids, robots, or any kind of artificial intelligence. Traci Reardon is his first interview subject and gives her honest answers to the Voight-Kampff test. 1 Share this post Link to post

Jon Onyx 1226 Posted July 17, 2015 lol i was really hoping that Matt would pronounce human as "Hue-man" like he does on I4H the entire time 4 Share this post Link to post
chesterdouglas 291 Posted July 17, 2015 The more that the idea of "lifting a blanket" in the night was mentioned, the more I had the odd sensation that it was wrought with strangely sinister undertones. 2 Share this post Link to post

MultipleReferee 176 Posted July 17, 2015 Had a serious case of deja vu when I realized Lauren Lapkus also played a robot who could poop on a live episode of i4h once. And of course.... more butt fixations. 5 Share this post Link to post
Gym Sockerman 1326 Posted July 17, 2015 WOW! Leave it to Besser to have such a high concept episode. The first 12 minutes were like a wonderful setup for a really cathartic loose-your-shit moment around the 11 min mark. Wonderful! 11 Share this post Link to post
JeffBurtMacklinMarra 6724 Posted July 17, 2015 Besser should have a movie parody show. Between this and his Whiplash episode of I4H, he knows how to make fun of great movies. 7 Share this post Link to post
CameronMascari 329 Posted July 17, 2015 Yes! I was hoping Besser would be on one of these episodes. Of course he has to do this type of podcast here, his other podcast is for humans only. 5 Share this post Link to post

earpanther 451 Posted July 17, 2015 This was fantastic. I feel like Matt made it a bit harder on her than most "hosts" do, which is expected. 3 Share this post Link to post
KajusX 1807 Posted July 17, 2015 Oh man, what a lovely mashup! I loved the Ex Machina framework, the Blade Runner questions, and the little sprinkling in of Inside Out when they were discussing emotions. Such good stuff in this episode! 3 Share this post Link to post
Kickpuncher 5012 Posted July 17, 2015 Of all the human properties that a robot could have delusions about, having written and performed "Black Betty" is about as funny as it gets. 18 Share this post Link to post
saddlebags 581 Posted July 18, 2015 Of all the human properties that a robot could have delusions about, having written and performed "Black Betty" is about as funny as it gets. Also I felt like besser mentioning her hip and neck movements (if she was really doing them) was maybe Lauren hinting at the Chuck E. Cheese animatronic band? Besser may not get that ref. 1 Share this post Link to post
saddlebags 581 Posted July 18, 2015 I like to think that Besser was really a little annoyed at having to listen to the song over and over lol. 2 Share this post Link to post
AlbinLundholm 4020 Posted July 18, 2015 Such a great episode, wish it was longer 2 Share this post Link to post
saddlebags 581 Posted July 18, 2015 Such a great episode, wish it was longer I would listen to this as a limited run podcast where each ep was a session. 1 Share this post Link to post
