Summary

Today we are talking about trolls of the online variety. We talk about what it's like to be trolled online about our appearances on MTV's The Challenge. We analyze the psychology of trolls, and discuss what kind of people would engage in this behavior. We discuss why robots and AI are struggling with trolls who try to make them believe anti-semitic ideas, and people are accidentally falling in love with machines. Plus, we talk about Sarah's upcoming season of The Challenge, Rivals 3, and what it's like being paired with Johnny Bananas.
