Episode 444: A Serious Moment with Bubbles the Chimp

[a chimp flipped out and ripped out all the ads]

If Bubbles the Chimp were here today, I like to think he would say “Hey man, YKS is, like, my favorite podcast, dude!” And I just remembered that he is alive, but I guess I meant “here” in the sense of like, being right beside me. Which would frankly be terrifying. I don’t want to be anywhere near a chimp. With all due respect to chimps, of course! They seem to have a lot to offer the world, and it’s certainly difficult to deny their charms, but a safe distance is preferable as far as I’m concerned. Alright now, let’s see, what is this episode about? Says here it’s about computers coming to life and kissing us. Well that will certainly be an interesting tale! Tune in to find out.
