Trump's Bribe, AI Doom Psyop, and the Rapture
Trump's $5,000 bribe, stay-at-home moms, car insurance beefs, AI doom, 9/11 memories, Zelda rumors, rom-coms, and the Rapture—Freed Up somehow fits it all into one episode.
Robby Soave and Christian Britschgi kick things off with President Donald Trump's way-too-long Republican midterm convention speech before debating whether stay-at-home moms should get paid to stay home. Then, Robby picks a fight with car insurance; the guys ask whether AI is going to kill us all, and they reflect on where they were on September 11, 2001.
They end the show by getting excited about the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and revisit Jennifer Lawrence's character in No Hard Feelings. Finally, they close with a Rapture-themed detour through The Leftovers.
