Are Robots Taking Over?! Marques Brownlee x Dude Perfect

The GOAT of tech, Marques Brownlee, joins the show to talk about how he built one of the biggest tech channels in the world, starting with reviewing a simple remote when no one else was doing it. Marques shares stories from interviewing icons like Kobe Bryant, Barack Obama, and Elon Musk, and dives into the future of robots, AI, and humanoid tech. He also talks about his career as a professional Ultimate Frisbee player and reveals a hilarious Almost Athlete moment. Later, Cody breaks down his NBA All-Star Celebrity Game performance and what went wrong in his matchup against Tacko Fall, while the guys answer wild voicemails about socks with sandals, eating pizza with a fork and knife, and whether Bigfoot could actually be real.
