Hello and welcome to another regulation draft.

Today, we are going to be determining the 20 greatest robots of all time.

At least as I understand it, this is a Gavin idea.

So correct me if I'm wrong that's what we're doing today right

yeah he was very adamant that we do it first also so yeah this all feels like Gavin I will correct you oh what okay you are wrong what are we what am I what am I wrong about huh about robots

okay

this would be where you'd can you'd expound on that if you would like the fucking draft to continue

joking dude like say say the rest of your words oh you said correct me if i'm wrong if it's Gavin's idea, and I said you were wrong.

All right, so what's the correction?

I don't know whose idea is.

Okay, this sucks.

All right, we're doing a Gavin idea today.

It's robot draft.

He just came in and said point of order and then sat there.

Gavin's at the point where he's just saying words he's heard other people say.

Okay.

Doesn't understand the context behind them or what they're meant to do.

How many times are we going to randomize before we determine who goes first?

Five as in Robot.

There we go.

I'm fine with that.

There you go.

Excellent.

Five, it is.

As always, we're using Sean Bear's website, the regulation jaft draft.

The regulation draft generator, which you can use as well if you want to do drafts with your friends.

We're going to randomize five times.

Here we go.

Rolls on

two, stop.

Three, I'm almost done.

Four.

Here's Here's four.

This is where it would stand if it was four.

Eric, Nick, Gavin, Andrew, Jeff.

And remember, this is a snake draft.

So five will go twice in a row.

And here we go.

We are going Gavin.

Nick, Andrew, Eric, Jeff.

Wow.

I'm on it.

I'm on an end for once.

Yeah, it's really, it's always funny when you're in the middle.

Yeah, no, it's not.

Point of order.

No, it's not.

Overruled.

Well, this was Gavin's idea.

He really wanted to do robots first.

So guess what?

He gets the first pick.

Gavin, what's your number one with a bullet pick?

A number one best robot ever?

Ooh, you know what?

I like, I like robots from back in the day when they used to be called robots.

And I think the best example of that is the little robot from the Twilight Zone.

Oh.

Was there a time when they were called robots?

For some reason, you watch a bunch of old black and white shit.

They're always calling them robots really

that's great i didn't know that he does what's is there like an episode this is from or am i just writing twilight zone robot well i put a picture uh i can't remember what episode it's from but i remember seeing it it was pretty uh pretty mobile pretty cool pretty black and white

oh wow you know it's weird i've seen this robot but or sorry robot but uh i don't know anything else about it Oh, interesting.

Yeah, well, you've seen him in other stuff, too, because he looks pretty much identical to the robot that was on that TV show.

What was it called?

The Jetsons?

I'm going to say Flash Gordon.

He looks like every robot from everything that was from the 1950s and 1960s.

Shared the same robot between studios.

Yeah.

What the fuck was it called?

Why can't I think of the Lost in Space?

Oh, yeah, he does look like the Lost in Space robot.

Daniel Robinson.

Yeah.

Good robot.

That's a good robot, but not the one you pick.

You happen to pick this robot, which is from the Twilight Zone, and his name is Twilight Zone Robot.

So Twilight Zone Robot is number one, number one best robot pick from Gavin.

You also called him a little robot, which is weird because he's human size.

But that's neither here nor there, I suppose.

He's smaller than like Mecha Godzilla and stuff.

He is.

Most things, I think we're smaller than Mecha Godzilla, but I don't, you know.

Mecha Godzilla is an insane scale to work from.

Yeah, but I think so.

A robot?

So to you, a robot that's normal size is Mecha Godzilla.

Everything else is smaller or every

I should have picked Mecha Godzilla.

That's

the bug standard regulation robot size Mecha Godzilla.

Wow.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Okay.

Well, we go to Nick to see what his first pick in this robot draft is.

Oh, well, it's the coolest, slickest, scariest robot that you can remember from the 90s and your parents are dead because it's the t1000 wow t1000 is a good one that's pretty cool it's a good pick is it really a robot though because it's just metal uh it was on the it was on every list of best robots in film all time that i read so i would say yes interesting why does it being all metal well it just doesn't have any electronics it's just liquid metal in it well i think the whole thing is electronics they turned electronics into liquid metal.

I think that's what it was, right?

Yeah, that was the technology.

You know what?

Fair play.

If it's conductive, it's a robot.

Yeah.

It's some pre-nanotech shit.

I think we talked about this on 100% Eat the other day.

When the head split in half like that,

that is like the coolest thing in a movie.

I think that rocks.

That's a practical effect.

Yeah.

Yes.

That's a problem.

It's great.

It's a puppet.

Oh, is it really?

Wow.

Yeah.

Well, it's smaller than Mecha Godzilla.

So I don't know how.

He is small.

He's a little guy.

He's just a little guy.

who would win in a fight-the T-1000 or Mecha Godzilla.

Oh, you mean a regular-sized robot versus a tiny robot?

Dude, I don't know.

I don't know, man.

He's just metal, he could slip inside.

I feel like he could liquid his way up into Mecha Godzilla into his mecha brains.

Maybe he could steal some of him, too.

No, uh, oh,

but next, we go to the man who is the reason that we are doing this draft, the robot robot himself, Andrew.

Oh,

me.

Andrew is now a little robot in our house.

It was Gavin's idea, but Andrew is the inspiration for

rolling around.

I'm going with a robot that is near and dear to my heart, that is from the past, and I think should stay there despite multiple attempts of trying to bring them to modern times.

My pick is Bender.

I love Bender.

One of my great

childhood memories is in the summer going to my grandparents' house and just watching the original run of Futurama with my cousin.

Oh, so good.

I love that original run and have not been at all moved by anything they've tried to do after that.

Despite like, it feels like it's like an arrested development type show where they just keep bringing it back.

And I, I'm happy, I guess, for those who enjoy it, but I don't need that.

So, for you, is it more about the time that it represented in your life?

No, I just,

I remember loving that show so much the first time I watched it as a kid.

And I would watch like two or three episodes a day

before like we would leave to do errands and stuff.

So it's just, it's, it's a fond memory.

When I think of robots close to my heart, that experience is

high.

And I just think Bender is a great character.

Full name is Bender B.

Rodriguez, I believe.

That is correct.

That's correct.

Yep.

Yep.

But that's a good pick.

I felt like that's a...

he was on my list.

You took him.

It's an early on-the-list robot pick.

It's a good pick,

yeah, really good one.

Uh, but now we come to me, and uh, I hope you'll give me some leeway on my robot pick here because I don't know,

I don't know how you guys feel about it or whatever, but uh, I am going to pick Andrew from Regulation Podcast.

My number one pick was also on my list.

Gotcha,

my number one pick for best robot is a man on this draft.

So the inspiration for what we're doing and the reason we're doing it, it's Andrew, who has already given us all-time moments just in like two or three things that we've all done together.

Being a disgusting little robot.

He's heavy.

He's dirty.

He's great.

I'm ready to take on some squirrels is what I am.

He's ready to jump off some ledges.

We'll shove him in my ceiling.

He's going to get sticky.

We're going to put him in the freezer.

He's going to start to howl.

It's been good so far.

So, Andrew, you're my pick.

You need to re-stick me, I think, because I don't want to get taken by one of the squirrels.

We need to make sure I'm strong and I can grip the ground real well because I ain't going up no trees.

Could you imagine?

Like, we put it up there.

It's like, this will be funny.

And the squirrels just pick him up.

It's like when an eagle steals a cell phone.

I think maybe we should get an RC mecha Godzilla to protect him.

Oh, shit.

Smart.

Smart.

But that's my pick is Andrew.

And so, Jeff, this is a snake draft.

So you actually get two picks in a row.

And I know that's

valuable for you.

Yeah.

Very excited to have the opportunity to do that.

I'm going to kind of, I'm following in your footsteps a little bit, Eric, in that I am also picking a robot that exists in the real world.

Although I must say, he is small on the Mecha Godzilla robot scale.

He is mighty in accomplishments.

He is an overachiever.

I'm picking the Mars Rover.

Oh,

I like that.

That's a good one.

That robot's done some work.

He continues to do work.

Nobody's asking him to work anymore.

We told him he was done years ago, and he's like, no, I'm not.

You don't get this robot to stop.

I'm going to keep transmitting data.

And

he does it without fail.

That little son of a bitch won't stop.

That is a robot after my own heart.

Just keeps going.

Yeah.

Is that the universe's saddest robot where it's saying itself happy birthday?

Yes.

Oh.

He also, he didn't get to work from home during COVID either.

Yeah.

Well, that's his home now.

He lives there.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it's after six months, you just live there.

Why did they program him to sing happy birthday to himself?

Like, it's so sad.

It's so depressing.

I get weirdly sad every time I see photos from Mars and it's not as red as I like to imagine it be.

Like the movies make it so red.

How red are you imagining Mars?

They make it look so red and orange in like any media, and it's just not that vibrant of a color.

It's more of like a gray.

We bumped what you went in the sea and discovered the sea isn't that blue.

Whoa, listen, I know that there's a place in Key West, apparently, that it is blue

as can be.

It ain't here in Texas.

That's all.

Neither am I, so I don't give a fuck about that.

Oh, man.

Got me there.

Well, Jeff, great depressing pick to start, but thank you very much.

My second pick is an interesting robot because he exists in the world of fiction and reality.

He kind of dances between the two.

I've been a fan of his since I was about

17, 16 or 17, and I still enjoy him.

Weekly, I'm speaking of none other than Crow T Robot.

Oh,

that was a very good one.

We love Crow.

Very.

Very good.

So great.

So fun.

If you look at him as individual parts, you can just see what he's made out of.

Like,

as a whole, great for a silhouette.

Rough when you just look at a picture of him longer than five seconds.

But I think Crow is a fantastic pick before the robot draft.

Wow.

I didn't, it didn't even cross my mind.

Didn't even cross my mind.

Great pick.

I'm staying in the vein of, for my second pick, people that are robots.

And I'm going to go with a Haley Jill Osmut robot from AI.

That's a sad robot, too.

Yeah.

He's a Haley Jill Osmut is a robot in AI.

Doesn't really do anything to make him a robot.

He's just simply Haley Jill Osmut walking around going, it's me, I'm a robot.

The whole movie.

And then he meets aliens.

And then he gets a wish because the movie is Pinocchio.

And that is what the movie.

I think that's what the movie is supposed to be.

And then he sinks.

And then he cries to see this movie.

And he spends 10,000 years rusting underwater.

You've never seen that movie?

Never saw it.

You've never seen AI?

Nope.

Gavin, I have a rabbit-like question to pitch to you here.

Are we going to classify androids as robots?

That was a question.

Yeah, why not?

I also had I would say so.

Okay, what's the difference between an android and a robot?

I don't know.

Words, I was wondering that.

I think it's just an android is more human-like, right?

Yeah, I think it's like a human-form.

I wasn't sure if there's a thing where like androids are robots, but not all robots are androids.

If it was one of those, yeah, like toads and frogs.

Correct.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean,

he's a robot.

I don't know what to tell you.

He's here.

He is eating food and it doesn't work.

Not that I was disputing it in any way, but that's a great defense by you.

I don't know what else to tell you.

He tries eating food and it doesn't work.

It just gets him all fucked up and gummed up and stuff.

He's a robot.

I can't see this movie anymore.

Yeah.

I don't either.

That totally turned me off to it.

Anyway, question respectfully withdrawn.

Okay.

I think question mostly just answered and slapped down, but that's fine.

Nothing with Ron.

I haven't made a decision.

Point of order.

Overruled.

I don't know what these words mean.

So Haley Joel Osmutt's my pick.

And now we go to Andrew for his choice here on his next robot.

Oh, okay.

Well, I have a question about robots as well and what is or isn't a robot.

What percentage of robot is required for a thing to be a robot?

51%.

51%.

Yeah, I was going to say the same.

Fuck.

So if it's like

great.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, we need to get in then to the specifics of RoboCop.

He

has a human face.

Please robot.

He's a robot.

Okay.

It's in his fucking name, dude.

Have you seen RoboCop?

Yeah.

I have.

You look at the letters.

You look at the letters.

It's more robot than cop.

And then also, if you see him all torn apart without the robot shell, he's hardly man.

It's just like a head.

Especially in the remake.

He was like a head with a bag of lungs hanging off it.

There was like barely barely anything left.

It was really fucked up.

I haven't seen the remake, but

you saying 51% was terrifying because when I Googled it, they said 50%,

but it sounds like we all disagree.

He's definitely not 50%.

50% is a useless percentage.

It has to be 51 and 49.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just.

I think it's fine.

I like there's so many.

I think RoboCop is such a good pick.

And I'm going RoboCop.

I love RoboCop.

Also on my list.

Yeah.

I mean, it's so good for the Robo Wants Oreo story, which is really good.

But then the lore keeps coming.

Yeah.

But then also in WCW, when RoboCop comes out,

Sting

is pretty.

He helped, he saved Sting.

So that's the world changes.

So that's pretty, he's helpful.

Here's the thing with RoboCop.

I think RoboCop looks so fucking cool.

But if somebody told me they think that he looks dumb as shit, I can also see that.

And I wouldn't fight it.

He's cool until you see him getting out of a car.

I don't feel that way in my heart.

I think he's just fucking awesome, but it swings both ways.

And I would not fight either opinion.

Yeah.

I love RoboCop.

Great game.

Most recent one.

It's a polarizing aesthetic for sure.

Great movie.

Yeah, it is.

It definitely is.

That is my pick.

I think that's a great pick.

Great pick.

I think that

the 5149 doesn't make any sense because he's definitely way more robot than yeah.

Yeah, it is.

I haven't seen RoboCop 3, but I guess they get into the specifics of what in him is still human, which I think is a ridiculous thing.

If you've got a titanium plate where your dick used to be, I consider you an NPA or something.

You're a robot.

Once again, though, he is no mecha Godzilla.

So I don't know what any of us are doing.

No, no, no.

He's actually a very small robot.

We're picking a lot of very small robots.

This is a little robot.

This is so fucking, all these robots are so fucking small, dude.

Nick, Nick, are you picking, are you picking a big robot, a regular size robot, or a small robot?

I'm sticking small, baby.

And these robots used to be untrustworthy in the eyes of one particular character in this series.

And this robot slash android proved her wrong.

I, of course, am talking about Bishop.

from aliens

great pick my one of my favorite characters of all time he's

love him he's great what is it about bishop specifically where you're like hell yeah, this is it?

I like that the audience and characters are just viewing him with the same lens of a previous robot that's dead from the first movie.

And I think he just walks that line really well where he's like, oh, is he?

Isn't he?

Oh.

And then he saves the day.

It's also Lance Hendrickson is awesome in anything he does.

He's so good.

He's also such a selfless character.

There's a bit where he's getting welded into like a one-foot diameter pipe.

And he's like, oh, watch your fingers.

He's like, making sure everyone else is all right as he's been stuck in a tiny pipe.

Is he the one that does like the knife trick thing?

Uh-huh.

Yes.

Okay, cool.

Yeah, that part's cool.

That part's awesome.

Yeah, the thing that what's his name didn't know about when it was happening?

It's so good.

That part's awesome.

Bishop's a really good pick.

I really like that.

Very, very cool pick.

And he's small compared to just according to Gavin in where he lists normal-sized robots.

Speaking of Gavin,

he has our next two picks in the robot draft.

Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

In the car,

gym,

even sleeping.

So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.

She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

Sort of.

You were made to scream from the front row.

We were made to quietly save you more.

Intra.

Oh, oh, hang on.

Notice you already put your pick up.

He's got squirrel problems, everybody.

Give him a moment.

They've breached.

They're inside.

They're losing their minds over this potential Mecha Godzilla pick that's coming.

Man, I would love to have.

I'm so stupid for not including Mecha Godzilla.

What a more.

Adam now.

You can now.

Yeah, you have the power.

Or you have two picks.

I could go for one of my

favorite robots from a 1950s film.

It's the robot from Forbidden Planet.

Oh, I see reticism.

Yeah.

I see what you're doing.

He's a great little robot.

He's got some cool little things on him.

Picking up what you're putting down.

Looks like

a bad thing.

He's phenomenal robot.

Gavin's got a theme for once.

I love it.

And he's quite small.

Do you think everyone's going to get mad at him like the way they get mad at you, Jeff?

Or do you think it's going to be okay?

Dude, I get so fucking crucified when when I do this.

If David gets away scot-free, I'm going to be really annoyed.

Now, I haven't seen either of the stories relating to these robots.

Are they supposed to be like modern inventions?

Because they're so bulky and unnecessarily large.

Although small on the mecha scale, as I know, but they just don't seem user-friendly or convenient in any way with how they're designed.

That's a robot of the future.

Well,

you have to think, too, like in the 1950s and 60s when this was made, a computer was the size of a building.

Sure.

So

this was their idea of tiny.

I feel like every robot in Fallout was inspired by this robot.

Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah,

I've destroyed that specific robot a million times.

No hesitation.

Well, you know,

two is true, but let's see if three is a pattern because the next pick is Gavin again.

And let's see what he picks here for his next robot.

Interesting you ask.

I'm going to go...

Not that interesting.

True, truly, Gavin, not that interesting.

This is the order in which this goes.

Kind of expected.

Pretty expected and normal that you ask.

But this time, I'm going to go for a...

It's quite a small robot.

It's slightly taller than the man in the picture.

It's the robot from Colombo.

It's a great robot.

He talks to the robot.

He's asking the robot stuff about murders.

The robot's filling him in.

Phenomenal robot.

Great.

Great.

This is a Steven Spielberg draft.

This is ridiculous.

Oh, my God.

I like that his ear is like one up, one to the side.

Oh, man.

In everything he said.

Every iteration.

What's going on with Columbo's posture in this?

He's intrigued.

He's Columbo.

He's intrigued by the robot.

I mean, so would I,

but

he looks kind of huddled up.

He looks

thicker than I think of Columbo, typically.

I think it's an interesting pose.

Thicker?

It might just be the way the jacket's hanging.

I don't know.

I can't articulate exactly what I'm seeing here, but that is not a pose I've seen Columbo in typically.

He was always a bit of a gremlin, I feel.

Yeah, I feel like he's hunched quite a lot.

He's always like, you know what?

He definitely is.

Yeah.

Well, he's just asking the robot just one more thing.

Just one more thing.

He's also with a robot.

When have you seen that?

Yeah, that's true.

That's also very true.

Yeah.

I mean, Columbo's typically talking to people.

And maybe he's just mystified by how small this robot is.

Possible.

Alexa, order a coffee.

Like, he's just yelling commands at it, and he doesn't know how this works.

Columbo using Alexa.

We need to bring back Funnier Die just so we can make this

could be for old spice or something, and they could pay everyone like less than union wages.

That's exciting.

I would definitely use Alexa, though, if it was in that

kitchen.

Sounds like you have some 3D printing to do.

Put Andrew's head on that thing, and you got it.

Yeah.

Well, Nick, you've seen what Gavin's picked so far.

It's now your third pick in the robot draft.

Ooh, Gavin mentioned Fallout, which got me thinking about a certain character that I actually found very interesting.

I know Fallout 4 kind of divided fan base on how they felt about it.

I love the game.

Yeah.

So I'm going to go with one

partner in that game, Nick Valentine.

I knew it.

I knew it.

Who is an old private eye, old world detective kind of dude?

And he even has a cool questline where you can go and solve all that stuff.

But he's also just an interesting character since, you know, you have to deal with all the synths throughout that game anyway.

And he is one.

So absolutely.

How does he play in this world?

He's a great pick.

He's probably the companion that I use the most when I played the game.

He's definitely same.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was the most interesting character in a game full of less than interesting characters.

I like the reporter.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

We're cherry-picking things that were interesting in the game that was sort of bland, I think, is what I'm saying.

I like

it.

It's fun.

Well,

Nick Valentine, very, very good pick.

A very small robot compared to a regular sized robot.

Same name as you, Nick.

I know.

I like it.

Crazy.

Very interesting.

Right?

A draft of just Nick robots would have been really interesting if you could make a draft out of that.

Nick draft.

Yeah.

Robot Nick.

Nick draft.

Robot Nick.

Nick draft.

I'm writing it down.

Yeah, write it down.

Write down Nick Draft.

That's a really good idea.

I like it.

Andrew, you are the titular robot in this robot draft, so what's your next pick?

Nick Nick Valentine is an interesting one because we're going to do a sidekicks draft and he was on my list for sidekicks.

Wow.

So that's interesting.

How interesting.

But I am going with, once again, we talked about RoboCop.

It's in the name.

To me, an iconic robot that is not in the name.

It's actually quite the opposite.

I am drafting Mega Man.

Love

some Mega Man.

He's got a blaster for an arm.

He goes around.

He fights bosses.

Those are such fun games that they'll never bring back because people don't want them.

But I really enjoyed all those games.

So that's not a man in a suit?

No, robot.

Mega Man's a full robot all the way.

That's crazy.

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

I thought he was a cyborg.

No, he's there's no human part of Mega Man.

He is fully

fully robot.

What about, okay, what about his face?

It's human looking.

Okay.

And gosh made him look like that.

Oh.

All right.

I respectfully respectfully withdraw my questions.

Stop respectfully withdrawing your questions.

Do you think Rush is an actual dog?

It's a band.

Okay.

My question's disrespectfully withdrawn.

That dog sang Tom Sawyer.

Spirit of the radio, baby.

I think Mega Man's a great pick.

I don't know if they're going to make any more of those games.

I think the last one that they made was like sort of like medium received.

And I guess that kind of goes into my next pick also because my next pick is michael fastbender robot from prometheus and i don't i don't anticipate them making any more prometheus-esque movies after rombless or whatever uh david yeah david his name is david yes he'll do the figure also yeah

he's creepy as shit

So

that's my pick.

Michael Fastbender, I think, is a great actor that should be in more stuff, especially after Black Bag.

Put that guy in more things.

I think he probably had kids and then he went, I don't want to do this right now.

And now is the time for him to come back as the robot and answer all the questions we had left over from Prometheus.

Like, what's going on?

Where are you going?

What is this?

And many others.

You mean Alien Covenant didn't do that?

Prometheus is a weird movie because it follows like what Alien did almost like beef or beat.

And then just goes in like a different direction, kind of.

I don't know.

I just don't know why they made it.

I don't know why they made Prometheus.

Got a squid.

Got a big old alien squid.

That's all I think about with Prometheus.

I think about when the guy dissolves, he puts, he drinks the stuff, he dissolves in the water.

He dissolves into the water.

Yeah.

It's the most interesting part of the movie.

It happens like right at the beginning.

You go, what is this?

And then it's like, yeah, don't worry about this.

I like when the old guy's like, what's the meaning of us?

And the robot's like,

yeah, he

fucking like screamed.

He just like fucking picks him up.

Fuck you.

It's like, how dare you talk to me?

Is that how you make crest, Gavin?

Person drinking, dissolving.

Yep.

Dissolving the water.

Jeff, you're at the end.

So snake rules.

You get three and you get four.

This is your final two picks.

Oh, man.

The robot draft.

This is exciting for me for a couple of reasons.

One, I'm really excited about my third pick, but two, I don't know what my fourth pick is yet.

I haven't decided.

So future Jeff is going to figure that out in about, I don't know, 45 seconds.

Cool.

For my third pick, i'm excited to go with a robot that is near and dear to my heart it's one of the few robots that i have owned and used throughout uh my adulthood it's also a robot that has appeared in content and uh done very well for gavin and i i am speaking of course of the roomba great

classic robot so many iterations yeah yeah that's a great great one That's so many iterations.

Yeah, especially with the knives, too.

Did you guys like doing that?

Did you you guys like the knife Roomba thing?

Like, you feel like that's so difficult?

Should we do that with Andrew?

Yeah.

You put a knife on Andrew and you have him chase down a Roomba to see if he can do it.

Maybe we should all wear some metal ankle guards.

No, no kidding.

Oh, yeah.

Why did you say no?

Well, I thought, okay, in my defense, in my defense, this is what happened.

Okay.

We were all talking about attaching a knife to me and running around catching people.

And then Gavin brought up ankle guards guards like i would target you guys and that my brain went that like that was the content idea i'm now seeing that it's just like a helmet like a protection type thing you got you guys are all worried protection for when i i potentially accidentally go rogue i misunderstood i thought gavin was pitching you view ankle guards as a helmet Well, it's protection.

That's what I was the point I was articulating.

You know, the Spartan helmet, as we went over recently.

Spartan anklets.

Keep them safe.

Jesus Christ.

I thought Gavin was pitching that I chase after you guys with a knife.

That's why I said no immediately.

But I was also thinking about that I don't want a knife when I go see the squirrels because I would feel so bad to accidentally knife one of those little guys.

Little

menaces up there.

No knives.

I'll accept actually there will be knives, but

no attacking with the knives.

But yes.

I'm great.

I'm as good as one can be that's smaller than Mecha Godzilla.

For my fourth pick, the first three robots I picked were kind of grounded in reality and robots that kind of exist.

But

I decided for the fourth pick that instead of trying to follow along that

thought line, I would pick something an enjoyable robot that I like from popular culture and from media.

And so I'm going to go with a bit of a bad guy, but just a delightful robot to interact with and one of the best villains in a video game, I think I've experienced.

I'm going to go with Gladys.

Yeah.

Great robot.

That was on my list.

That's a go away.

Yeah.

Terrifying.

Whitley would have been a good pick.

Damn it.

Yeah.

Well, you still have to.

Oh, if only there was still time.

You seem upset.

Like, like everything's passed.

You keep going, I should have picked that.

And you have more.

A pick.

You can still pick.

Trust me, everything's past.

I'm locked in.

Trust me.

It's nuts.

I think Gladys is a great pick.

Make you think.

We go to my last pick.

And again, I'm going to ask for some leeway.

See if you guys will allow this.

Really, really, there's no way I'm probably going to back down from this because I think I'm right.

I'm going to go with Harrison Ford Robot and Blade Runner.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's fine.

Yeah, that's fine.

He's a replicant.

He's a replicant.

Yeah.

I think that's

heavily inferred.

If you have a problem with that, argue in the comments, guys.

That's he had a baby, though.

Didn't they undo that in the second movie?

I think they did.

Wait, wasn't the whole second movie about

he had a kid?

I meant him being a robot.

I didn't see the second one.

No, he's still a robot.

Okay.

All right.

I didn't see the second one either.

Wait, you didn't see the second one?

Wait, hang on.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hang on, hang on.

Nick, you didn't see the second one?

No.

Okay.

But how do you feel about minority report?

Just giving opinions to things we hadn't seen.

It's been confirmed by Ridley Scott that he's a replicant.

So, okay, so wait.

Nick was like...

Yeah, man, they undid that.

I've heard rumors on the streets.

Yeah, yeah.

I heard rumors on Wikipedia that I might have.

Well, no, I didn't read the article.

Never mind.

Nick is how misinformation starts.

Yes.

Yeah, put it.

Whatever.

I don't care.

Phenomenal.

I didn't see the sequel.

That was incredible.

That was, Nick, that was really crazy.

That's some wild takes today in this draft.

This is a good one, man.

I'm impressed with you.

I'm really impressed with you.

Can this be behind the paywall?

I'm generally not a fan of misinformation being spread, but I'm all for this.

And we just want to make this a thing.

And he's not.

I'm pretty into this idea.

Nick News is very interesting to me, where it's just some stuff that he heard or read one time, but he doesn't really know what it's from or what it's about.

What if we did like a series where it's predict a movie sequel badly?

I mean, I don't know what the series is, but a series called Nick News has to happen.

Yeah, absolutely.

Just by the desk guessing the news.

Hey, what do you think that is about?

We throw a date at him and he has to guess the news in his news anchor suit.

And it's like, all right, May 17th, 2029.

Go.

Maybe we just like spin by a bunch of tweets and headlines without any of the full context that he has to like

get the news from it.

Just the news.

Yeah.

Today, Balloon Boy's back.

2029, Balloon Boy returns and he's in the balloon again.

That's awesome.

But for real this time, right?

That's what happened?

Well, that's my fourth and final pick.

And Andrew is down to his last pick as a robot himself.

I don't know if I'll get pushback on this pick, much like Eric.

I think this may be one of the great underappreciated robots.

It's a thing that I don't think many consider to be a robot.

If you guys say it's not a robot,

I guess I'm fine with that, but

I'm drafting vending machines.

Vending machines, anyway.

Is that not a robot?

If Arumba is a robot, how is a vending machine not a robot?

Well, it's in the name.

It's a machine.

Oh!

A Roomba is a machine?

A Roomba is called a vacuum cleaning robot.

They're automated machines.

All robots are machines, but not all machines are robots.

Damn.

Okay.

I think we have to take a vote.

On...

I mean, it's mechanical.

It's...

Yeah, this is why I think we have to take a vote.

So's a toaster.

It's less human than RoboCop.

Hold on.

But a car is mechanical.

It's not a robot.

Yeah, a toaster is mechanical.

Okay, so you go, Andrew.

What about that?

That is definitely a vending machine robot.

If somebody told me that their toaster is a robot, I don't think I'd push back on that.

That's fucking shit.

You're an insane.

Are you ready?

Your mind is a little bit more.

You think if on the podcast, Gavin said that his toaster was a robot, you would just let that slide?

Yeah, I definitely would.

But there's no autonomy in a toaster.

Is autonomy a necessary part of a robot?

Well, I don't know.

Like a like a Roomba just kind of sees shit.

It goes about based on its programming.

That's, I feel like, function versus

so let's let's take a vote.

Andrew, is a vending machine a robot?

Yes.

Yes or no?

Okay.

Gavin, is a vending machine a robot?

Almost certainly not.

Okay.

I'm going to vote yes.

Jeff, is a vending machine a robot?

Not even close.

Okay, and now we leave it up to Nick to really make the decision here about if Andrew can have vending machine on this list.

Do I want to overcome the replicant thing?

I'm afraid.

No, it's not a, it's not a fucking room.

Oh, Andrew, we took a vote.

I was on your side, buddy.

Unfortunately,

vending machine, not going to count as a robot.

So you're going to have to make another pick.

Also,

also, it's not a fucking robot you're insane i googled it it it said google says while vending machines are automated they are not generally considered robots because i guess they're not autonomous and they can't do complex tasks like interact with their environment what about a crane game i would also say that the the machine that goes wrong the most in my life

really a vending machine i have bad vending machine luck i'm always getting gummed up in them

you're not supposed to put anything in it they put money in it well i put gum in it.

Gavin's like Homer Simpson.

He's got his arms stuck in there because he doesn't let go of the can.

Yep.

All right.

So, Andrew, vending machine is out.

What you got?

You know what?

I'm sick of all these tiny robots.

I'm going with an appropriately sized, average, standard baseline we can all measure off of.

Mecha Godzilla.

What a Godzilla.

Incredible.

That's

finally a regular sized robot around here.

You know what?

I think it's important to recognize that.

I was not a fan that they tried to make him not a robot in the sequel.

I was very upset about that.

But

outside of that, no complaints about Mecha Godzilla.

Everyone's good with Mecha Godzilla?

Yeah.

Just making sure.

Oh, I mean, it's a robot, so definitely.

Yeah.

I don't know who said it's in the name.

I also drafted Mega Man.

I just want to point out how dumb that was as a counter to why a vending machine isn't a robot it's not called a vending robot it's called a vending machine

that's true that's true

but my dumb point is i drafted something with man in the title yeah but he's not a man yeah okay that's my point

wait what okay but that's what

overruled

point of order it's nick's turn now nick you get your final robot pick here You know, just nostalgia is important.

Yeah, look at Gavin's.

Yeah, look at where Gavin's going to go.

And I could block him, but I won't.

So you don't know where I'm going.

Now I kind of want to guess.

No, but I'm thinking back to the afternoon,

after school's over, you come home, you flip on the TV, and there to greet you is Tom, the Toonami robot.

Oh, Tom.

To Nami.

He's a robot.

Bloom.

Bloom?

Bloom?

Is that his name?

Yeah, do you guys not remember this?

I don't know that robot.

No.

Not familiar with him, but he seems like a robot.

I got the American vote.

Yeah, no, I'm with you.

It's good.

The one that I remember more was this guy.

It's the same guy, but except before they changed his look or whatever, and he's like a little idiot.

That's a little robot.

Yeah, that's.

I think to me, William is like a little robot.

Yeah.

He put coins in him and he dispensed the snickers or

that would be a robot.

Can somebody lend Andrew a robot?

He's short.

This might be the smallest robot potentially on this list.

Could be the smallest robot so far.

Could be.

Could be.

However, we're going to round it out with Gavin, who's making his fourth and final pick in this robot draft.

Now, you may be predicting what I'm doing here.

You might think, you know, I know Gavin, his favorite movie is The Invisible Boy, but that is not my fourth robot pick.

Ah, yes, of course my fourth robot pick

is arock the housekeeping robot from the 70s if you just play the first four seconds of this video it's got mega man vibes you know it's a robot with a human face

i don't like the beginning of this video

it's real bad yeah no i don't like that very realistic housekeeping robot it can uh it can pour you a drink it can try and collect your mail there's all kinds of stuff.

It can try and collect your mail.

So far, everything you're describing is a vending machine.

It can give you a drink.

It can try.

It will not be successful.

Well, skip to 205 in the video if you want to see it attempt to collect mail.

Okay, skip to 205.

I'm watching it give him a drink right now.

Yeah.

Okay, let's see.

So his head's looking up.

He's grabbing the mail.

Oh, I might have spoken too soon.

He's attempting to grab the mail.

He's just looking at it.

Yeah, he's

trying.

Okay, he missed.

Oh, he touched the mail.

He pushed it back in.

He could have bashed it back in, but he tried.

Yeah, and then he looks at you directly.

I don't like his.

I have failed you.

I don't like his body with his head.

And it has like antenna.

It has antenna like he's a bug.

I don't like, I don't like him.

That's a great thing.

Great robot, Gavin.

I love

ugly, ugly, small robot.

I don't want a robot in my life that has the success rate of a claw machine for what it's trying to do.

He gets stuck at

like 20 at like 241, and the lady has to move him.

Yeah.

There's also a bit earlier on where he's walking a dog and he accidentally goes off the road and they have to run and stop him from falling over.

Oh, no.

It's like 107 in the video.

It's great.

Man.

Well, this robot's vile and terrible.

I wonder what he looks like now because all of like the

whatever that he's made out of is all deteriorated and disgusting.

It's probably really awesome.

Did you ever see when they when they found the hoggle puppet from Labyrinth like 30 years after the movie?

No, what?

I bet he would look like that.

Hoggle puppet.

Puppet.

Oh, oh my god.

Oh,

oh, there you go.

Oh,

they found

a thumbnail.

Oh, my God.

Man, what the he's missing.

Its cheek.

Its skin is peeling.

It looks terrible.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure

Five Nights at Freddy's got some inspo from that.

Yeah, I think so.

I just want to love.

Oh, brutal.

Is that Freddy?

Huh?

I've never played those games.

I don't know how it works.

He thought a replica.

The sequel.

And there's a cool robot in it.

Well, speaking of cool robots, all of the cool robots have been chosen.

We've done all the robots in the robot draft.

Gavin has picked Twilight Zone Robot, Forbidden Planet Robot.

Colombo robot.

Robbie the Robot.

Robbie the Robot.

Who's Robbie the Robot?

I was just saying the real name of the robot as you read off each one.

It's just called Robbie the Robot.

You can't.

Okay.

How can you do that?

You can't pick the same robot three times.

You can't pick the same.

That's like Andrew picking Bender four times.

No, they're different characters, but they're all played by Robbie the Robot.

You just told me.

What?

All right, so audience, discount two of Gavin's picks.

He only had two in this one.

Well, like, imagine if Robert Patrick also voiced Nick Valentine.

That's still two robots.

Yeah.

I get what he's saying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Yeah, that's fine.

Yeah, but he voiced it.

But he's playing a different robot.

It's not Robbie the robot he's selecting, it's the character he's selecting as the robot.

Yeah, that's fair.

Like, like Columbo Robot.

Yeah.

And A-Rock is your final pick.

Nick has T-1000, Bishop, Nick Valentine, and Tom from Toonami.

Andrew,

honestly, the most conventional choices.

I'm shocked.

Bender,

Robocop, Mega Man, Mecha Godzilla.

Tried to pick Vending Machine.

Did not.

I have picked Andrew from Regulation Podcast.

Haley Joel Osman robot from AI.

Michael Fastbender robot from Prometheus and Harrison Ford robot from Blade Runner.

And Jeff has chosen the Mars Rover, Crow T robot, Roomba, and GLaDOS.

Guys, those are all of the robots that we chose.

How do you guys feel about this compendium, this full list here of best robots?

Well, I want to apologize.

I don't usually do this thing in the drafts, but it is so fun.

I can see why it's done so often.

I apologize for it.

Jeff, do you think he's going to get just blasted?

No, I think he'll be fine.

He'll get a pass.

It's funny when Gavin does it.

Everybody loves Gavin.

He's the boy with the golden hands.

I was so blown away by the research on this because

typically after we do these, we always do our like our

robots that didn't quite make the cut, you know, sure.

Our runners up, but I kind of want to hold on to them just in case we ever have another robot drive.

Oh, is it?

Because there were so many, I think.

I think there's more robots.

Then we can see how many more robots Robbie the Robot was in or whatever.

I mean, more movies.

Yeah, let me see what else he was in.

Yeah, cool.

For why a vending machine is.

I have another six on my list that are all

big-time robots.

Okay.

Well, that's our robots draft.

Thank you so much for watching.

Check out the Patreon, check out YouTube, check out our gameplay channel, our regular podcast.

We have so much everywhere.

Patreon.com/slash the regulation pod.

But, guys, this has been a robot draft.

Andrew, as the robot, the resident robot here at Regulation, why don't you take us out with a cool outro and say goodbye?

Oh, I got it.

Do you mind if I use my native tongue for this?

Please, by all means.

Beep, boop, beep, beep, beep, beep, boop, boop, boop, beep, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, beep, boop, one, zero, zero, one, beep, boop, boop, boop, beep, beep snickers

goodbye
