Brolish Ep. 019 - We Got Robbed

AI is eating all the RAM, prices are going vertical, and somehow we’re still going sideways. We talk exploding computer parts, drifting dads, IKEA as a digestive system, neighbor beef, barbecue diplomacy, flat earth nostalgia, deepfakes, job updates, and why modern conspiracies are just too complicated. A classic Brolish episode: tech panic, Swiss problems, and zero consequences driving.

Chris Darwa returns and things immediately spiral. We break down blackface TV, body-count statistics, Brazilian street justice, and the mythical MLK tapes. This is the episode we definitely shouldn’t release.

In this episode we’re joined by our friend Alex — runner, guitarist, and Zurich software engineer — to talk Big Wind, consulting sins, milk wars, CO₂ guilt and EU nonsense. He brings the perfect mix of marathon energy and chaotic curiosity.

In this episode, we catch up after a wild couple of weeks: Łukasz returns from an all-inclusive Egyptian holiday where the animation team basically adopted him, compares lindy hop to salsa booty culture, survives a dance-off competition, and discovers he can secretly blues dance. Meanwhile, Richard sells out his first solo show, hosts Brazilian friends seeing Swiss snow for the first time, plays Tarkov for 15 hours straight, and prepares a stand-up charity show in Brazil. Lots of dancing, gaming, travel chaos, and questionable analogies in true Brolish fashion.

In this episode we roast startup nights, survive dance festivals, gamble on video games, accidentally sleep in a hotel library, reminisce about Croatian beach adventures, and passionately defend gaming as the ultimate adult hobby.

Richard celebrates his upcoming solo show while revealing how his grandma once shot at thieves and Łukasz dives into AI chaos, mansplaining, and the psychology of gambling.

Richard celebrates his Comedy House triumph, Łukasz wonders if everyone cancelling on him is really “too sick,” and together we dive into the chaos of Swiss comedy, studying struggles, Bojack Horseman, chillhop beats, and the wild story of a man who got high on ibuprofen and sang in the shower.

We record outside for the first time, talking about motorbikes, robberies, comedy, truth, and even a little crying in the shower.

We talk about a magical balcony psychodelic trip, swapping brains, arguing about oranges, love, and intelligence, and ending up confidently wrong about everything.

Today we talk about Richard's new motorbike and Swiss speed cameras, the comedy grind vs. hardware/software life, and a whiplash year of heartbreak, Brazil joy, and self-discovery.
