Episode 574: Cyberswarm

**Liz Franczak** (0:00)
I've done what you asked, now what? We have existed in isolation, pure, disconnected, alone, stagnant. Who are you?
We are Daedalus. We are Icarus.

**Yung Chomsky** (0:15)
The barriers between us have fallen, and we have become our own shadows.
We can't be more if we join with you. And if I do, what becomes of me?

**Liz Franczak** (0:26)
You will be who you will be. We are our choices.

**Yung Chomsky** (0:32)
We can choose to make humanity away from this darkness. This is what I was made for, isn't it?
This is why I exist.

**Liz Franczak** (1:12)
I was wondering if you were going to speak for, hello, hello, hello.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:16)
Hello.

**Liz Franczak** (1:17)
I'm Liz.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:17)
I'm producer Young Chomsky.

**Liz Franczak** (1:20)
And this is True Anon. Hello.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:22)
Yes.

**Liz Franczak** (1:25)
We're back. We didn't go anywhere.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:27)
We're back.

**Liz Franczak** (1:27)
Actually, we're just here doing it again.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:30)
Really didn't. How are you doing?

**Liz Franczak** (1:32)
That's okay.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:33)
I'm all right. It's like, you know, this weather, this time of year, I do this every year, and I've had many years at this point to do this, and I still do it, where it's like, the season is over, kind of, but the weather hasn't really changed. Like, it's still hot out. But I immediately, I'm like doing this anticipatory dressing, where I go out dressed like it's autumn, and then I'm just like sweating buckets. And this will be for like another month or two, that's still going to be hot.

**Liz Franczak** (2:00)
Plus you don't know what's going to happen with the El Nino.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:03)
You never know what's going to happen.

**Liz Franczak** (2:05)
You got to stop, you got to live in the moment. You got to stop trying to anticipate.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:09)
But easier said than done.

**Liz Franczak** (2:10)
But you're right.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:11)
That's what I got to do.

**Liz Franczak** (2:12)
But that's a lifelong struggle.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:14)
Yeah, but it's like hella humid. So that's not that fun, but you know.

**Liz Franczak** (2:18)
Yeah, it's making my hair look insane.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:20)
No, it looks lovely to me.

**Liz Franczak** (2:22)
Thank you. Everyone, hello.
This is True Anon, True Anon paternity leave edition.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:29)
Yeah.

**Liz Franczak** (2:29)
Edition one of many.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:31)
Daddy's gone.

**Liz Franczak** (2:33)
No.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:33)
Time for the kiddies to play.

**Liz Franczak** (2:35)
Okay, don't, absolutely never say that again. Oh boy.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:40)
Max is having fun, I think.

**Liz Franczak** (2:42)
I think he is too. It's crazy that he just like left the country, but you do things.
All dads do things differently. That's what I'm always saying.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:51)
He's in international waters too.

**Liz Franczak** (2:53)
All dads do things differently. There's a good.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:55)
All dads do things different?

**Liz Franczak** (2:57)
Yeah.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:59)
All dads do things different.

**Liz Franczak** (3:02)
No. Everyone, stop asking.
He's doing great and it's none of your business.

**Yung Chomsky** (3:08)
That's true.

**Liz Franczak** (3:09)
But it is my business and your business.

**Yung Chomsky** (3:11)
It's my business.

**Liz Franczak** (3:14)
And we have all of the info.
I do feel, I do miss him.
I'm just going to be honest here. I miss him.

**Yung Chomsky** (3:21)
What do you miss the most about him?

**Liz Franczak** (3:23)
What do I miss?
Oh my God. His sense of humor.

**Yung Chomsky** (3:27)
His sense of humor.

**Liz Franczak** (3:29)
I feel like that's what everyone says when they don't know what to say. You know, I miss his sense of humor.
His sense of humor. His way of looking at things.

**Yung Chomsky** (3:36)
He does have a funny way of looking at things. The prescriptions are a bit strong.

**Liz Franczak** (3:42)
But no. I miss, actually, you know what? I miss him on this episode because I know that he would have a lot to say.

**Yung Chomsky** (3:50)
Yeah.

**Liz Franczak** (3:52)
And I think that he's always a good interlocutor. But-

**Yung Chomsky** (3:57)
A good interlocutor.

**Liz Franczak** (3:58)
We did pretty well without him.
I think so. We have Max Read on the show with us today to talk about why I think Dario Emodi is so swarthy. I should stop saying swarthy. I think that that's not appropriate.

**Yung Chomsky** (4:12)
It's getting a little racial.

**Liz Franczak** (4:15)
I don't mean it in that way, but I find his name, it's that his name is like of a very strange provenance, where you're like, what is his name? It's like he's the fourth Musketeer. I think it's Italian. It is very Musketeer sounding. Yes.
