This is Steve Covino from Covino and Rich. Quick trivia, fellas. Every guy listening is contestant. Answer honestly to yourself. You got a belly in a little chest, gasped by the afternoon, no drive left in the tank, you lack that confidence and mental edge. Those are classic signs that your testosterone's been sliding, and nothing drags it down faster than extra weight. So why not take matters into your own hands? Shrip off the weight that tanks your testosterone with Bioma, GLP1 booster. Every serving is packed with science-packed ingredients that crank up your natural GLP1 production. Visit bioma.health slash GLP1 and use code CRShow for 15% off your first order. I was in sick and pain. I'm my wife and I. Hi. Tommy, do you have a good, you pump your own water and plow and get blisters on your hand? I don't mind blisters. Tommy, do you think it's a car? Sure.
Very smart. I think it's you. And you can have a human name. Not a name with a number. I'm Bob. Bob Thomas. All right, Bob. What do we do now? Well, I got your escape from the city all planned. We go back to the spot. Who's there? I'm not mine. Holy. Electronic commander. Go back, mind police. Use the video signal. Let me see you. All electronic disruptors here. Open for inspection. Any rope and action? Remove device. Carzing defecalty. All of it. That's just an element. Remove it. Sure. Check it out. How's that? I'll be fine. You, dogs, two and three, investigate other apartments. I will stay. This apartment under protection.
Other apartments? We go. I will enter. Can you start the device again? What? What's that? Hello, Bob. It's a dirty nail. I'm fine. Well, so these are our new friends. Johnny, 212, Jane, 1, 6th, me, Ralph, 9, 8. Hello. What? Very much a human being. Johnny, don't look well. They got here thin-mad. That's one of the best. I'm top five in Mexico City. Bob, we gotta work fast before the electronics may get back. Bob, simple bad.
I didn't want to experiment for the master mechanical brain or to speedy. Well, that experiment. For years, Morton's been working to produce electronic men that can make other electronic men. But why? Why? Because the master mechanical brains can control electronic men absolutely. Humans rebel like you two. If you had children with little rebel's head base, the master mechanical brain had denied marriage permits to everybody. Except for just the humans. Who by just as well be machined or marriages no human children. Electronic men can reproduce their kind and think of. Complete machine civilization with a master as ruler. And once the experiments are definite success, the master will liquidate the humans. Oh, no. I'm just... I read a text thing for the centuries ago. Bob, let's get them out of here. Right, that's what I'm talking about. Open mind, party. See, electronic men are back. Take us now to re-adjust the quest. Oh, what do we do? Come and get the metal head mask on. And the voice box too.
There's not. Yes, they find out I'm human. Open door. Electronic man in there. Why does it come back? Johnny, I'm frightened. Bob, you said you had a escape. I have the first route. This is for you. What? Bob, you stuck your foot. It was a truck with a truck. Oh, come. Open the door, Johnny. And rush the electronic man. It will be expected by a lot. I killed him. All right, let us Johnny. There both out of commission. Let's go out. That's for the emergency, shoot. Now and make it. Oh, it's too late. That's an use of the atom war.
They were used as bomb-jellers, flying with left to protection against drew-son penetration. Now even the master's electronic standard can't fire. Let's get him out. Yeah. What's that, Robert? So, well, I'm trying to trick you, right? I never saw a key with you, Bob. He doesn't. No, but you said I shouted, he betrayed it. So the electronic men were hearing Duane believing he was one of them. Not out by those vicious renegades. That's right. We're ready now. Why bother to fool the electronic men? Why didn't Ralph just come with us? He's neither the next city. Ralph would have never known about more than experiments for the master mechanical brain. And if you really think you're more than gets electronic men that could produce others, you'll kill off all the humans? All but the few that more than will spare for his own aid and his vires. It's a logical thing. Master mechanical brain is extremely logical.
Well, I have subjects that are absolutely command. They're probably... Yeah. The electronic men that could only unimproper the master spends out are acts of machine-like logic. They don't fall in love. I can't. I disrupt any of more than the plan for a perfect machine safe. There's a... ...tumble ever in. Soon, Dr. Scheef. Oh, I... She didn't drop in time. Dr. All right, I guess. I'm just too quick. Bob, there's a light ahead. The end of the tunnel. Sorry. Yeah. All right. I don't know. You're... ...a little bit more beautiful in the picture. You don't see them under my studies, don't you? What the... What do you smell? Ha, ha, ha. The Gordon Ancient joke, Johnny, that fresh air. Hey, I like it. How do you make it?
Johnny, that there's a real air fresh air. It makes your make. And this is real grass, not synthetic. And they're noisy. Like a cork. Cricket. Frog. Nice bird. What the... Oh, you, you, you. No matter if I've been very old. There's lippin' to these tapes. Oh, they're cold. Yeah, they're less mesh. Mastors can't take them up in places. They have a blast rate, cut us down. Johnny, I scared. They can still turn back. They can say I kidnap you. Go back to your mix city. No. Where Johnny goes, I go. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sorry. And follow me. Only about 10 minutes walk of the cage and the jet-try will take my farm. I'm so tired. While I'm an hour, you'll be asleep in a feather bed.
A real feather bed. I have one hand, Johnny. I like pumping water. I think I got my first blister. This is wonderful. I just can't get over this. The realness of this thing. Your wife served me some milk. Real milk this one. She's a very remarkable woman, Bob. Whoever she's telling me takes me to Mr. Ranger. Making it their home. She's a fine air woman. New century style. Staying up yet? I'm not a mom. I've been out the market cook. Just imagine, Johnny, she actually cooks. It's good, then. And I just want to eat what I cook. Tell them come and get us. And tell that young man of yours to bring that water in it.
He's going to wash up for breakfast. I realize that. I get my hands dirty. Pump it up. I'm going to get it. I realize that. I get my hands dirty. Pumping water. Just so I can wash in the water right. Pump it up. We're coming, my best. Oh. Now that's with a meal. Why are the euro one here? We raise all our own food. We need your food, Johnny. Not for you. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. You want my own foods? Rudy earlier for Johnny. Not for me. I raise that bacon from his show. The old sour juice. The sour juice, the laid heads of the animals. He better be, with six miles to feed. What? Yes. Less than four kids. Three boys and a girl. Believe me, four growing kids can eat. Where are they? Away. I'm not going to owe you something away when I go to the next city.
You better notion those trips are dangerous. They are. The Master Mechanical Brain and Morton don't like you snatching their humans someday. Oh, nonsense. Wait a minute. It isn't nonsense, but you took a big chance for it. Here's the fly. Fly risk or the tapiness just for people like us. People you don't even know because he feels your worth it. I think you are too. And I'm for Bob and all the people he can help. But I'm still afraid. So he's send the kids to safety and let him go and wait for him to come back. Even though I'm glad you got us out, Bob. You, you haven't the right to take those chances. Once the Master Mechanical Brain has absolute control, you don't think we'll be safe, do you? There's one great American said centuries ago. This union cannot long endure half slave and half free. And that's still true. Even if that slavery is benevolent.
Yes. The Master is January. It gave us everything. It's a tapiness. You really think it will come after you. As soon as that's flying, excuse for a human being, Morton perfects the electronic men who can produce other men. The Master Robots will be after us like a shot. But every...

We'll see if there's any mention of your exercise. And in this brutal fight, a band of renegades snatch two humans. However, the master mechanical brain offers all renegades the opportunity to enjoy the peace and happiness of Mexico City. Notice to all renegades, all crimes against Mexico City will be forgiven if you surrender now for readjustment. Readjustment. If not, the master mechanical brain will be forced to make readjustment at a distance. What never dare to make a threat like that before. I can't stand that cold in human's body. No, that's here when he has to say. No. Can he do anything? Who knows what that man can plan with a master mechanical brain? You've got weapons, eventually you may. No, someone's coming. Wow. Bob, Bob, get the cave, quick. Why are you here?
How'd you get away? One suspect ordered tests. All the less hunting men. But that's not the worst, Bob. The master mechanical brain is turning destroyer ways on all of any forms until locate. So this is it. Like everybody in a bomb cave. What do you need to wait? I'll save what I can. Don't take a chance, Bob. We start with nothing, and we can start again. But that's without you. What can I do? Get to the cave. No, why? I think what is the center of the electronic men is a car, Bob. He's so true. I help the humans in next city. Well, we've got to go there more than we do. Oh, no, Bob, we're here. Back behind us, question. Is the cave in back of them? In here? Yeah. Cave is led live. Here's you go, Bob. I'm going with you. Oh, what's that? It's right away. Five times.
20 years. Five times. 20 years. It was a love list. Go on, Bob. What's that? That mechanical devil. I'll take the master of part two by two, both by both. Wow, if I get on the cave, take the victim. I'll let all her runny. I'll let kids I love. We're going back. Well, sure, I'm going, Danny. You mean you're going to try to destroy the master mechanical brain? That's right, the kind has come. We can't wait any longer. Good Bob, even if you succeed, even if you're not killed first, you'll be fine. Next city, no food, no water, no air. How will they live? Unless we destroy the master's they will live it all. For the rest, men live once before without machines. They can do it again. Well, Johnny, two twelve. No number anymore, outcome. I'm going to with Johnny. No, you stay with Mark. Mark, I have something to say for it. I don't have that you, Johnny. You stay with me. I know it's in you. You're going to hurry. Bob, get your belt. I'll come back with a master mechanical brain and broken pieces. Oh, my God. I'll come back with a master mechanical brain and broken pieces.
Oh, of course you will. I'll tell the others. Let's go. Bob. Mark, help me back. You're not going back. You're not going back. You're not going back. You better give me your hand, Jay. I'm not sure. You don't have that there. Oh, oh. It's OK, huh? I didn't. Don't bomb. I need to catch on. I've got to hurry. That's smarter almost ever human beings. Bob, the sewer leads right underneath the building. You need to wait around. Okay. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. You get away, Logan.
I can't today be just about 40%. What they are. I'll handle the speed, you know. Watch out. If I'm smiling or throwing you out I can't. Jay has to go back after theils. Go ahead. Yeah, he's just a child. That's kind of a man. Okay. I'll take you to the soldiers. I'll kill you. I'll kill you. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'll kill you. Uh, they're getting orders from the next unit. We've got to stop them. Let's go. That wasn't me. You can't stop that. Orange shop is a yet to master. Stop them forever.
Now they're gone. Alive. Now door leads to the master, mechanical brain. Let's go. Wait. Don't I take the other? Let's fight. There's a switch only. We are electronic men now. Now. Woo! Hey, boys. Stop by your arm. Have you flustered? You know. You know. What is? The master is in the air. Hey, where you are. What is the destroyer's people? Why? I'm the very innocent as the human is by the sea. I'm the very innocent as the human beings. You know what I'm saying? Now. There. There. There. There. Did you hear that?
The master of the circle breaks down. A human. A human. Yes, it is by the human because they are human. For too many centuries machines have been the servants. Now they will be the masters. Machine will be the world. The master will destroy humans. And the machine will be supreme. All are the techniques. These. Art. You. It. It's not fair to me. You are just. It's not fair. Man. Man. Man. Man. Man. You. But. But you. Is this the experiment that I was supposed to say? I'll explain it to you.
I'll take you. I'll follow the further machine. And. No. No. Hold them back. Help me. Help me. Help me. They just might be there, coming after us. Oh, not the bomb, come on. Burning the master face. Excuse me, those delicate wires, you well proud, your bad, your bad.
Yeah. Yeah, that's finished the master. Right. Good, Jimmy. Yeah. Oral makes it his power and functions were centered in the maximum mechanical brain. Everything will stop now. You're electronic men, the chilling, and the automatic, the purely, James, James, Dickles. Hold on to my arms. Dick, Dick, Dick, it's all wrong. That depends on how you look at a chain. For humans, for people, it's all just dying again. The makeshity destroying us. The whole civilization ruined. Oh, no, no, Johnny, no. The two things aren't the same. It's true that makeshity is destroyed. The civilization is something more than machines and apparatus. That's something I learned when I joined the Renny. The civilization doesn't until I'm dreams and make secure, not by efficiency, but by dedication.
Johnny, James, you and all the others who are alive today will soon learn that the pursuit of happiness, the desire to be with those you love, to think and act in freedom as men. That's the true meaning of civilization. That's what makes us human beings in the image of God. That's what makes us human beings in the image of God. That's what makes us human beings in the image of God. Next week, another exciting drama on 2000s plus. When the world met, you heard about the men from Mars. Ever wondered what they looked like?
