Diabolical Bastards Episode 006 Did Mayweather Go Broke? Our AI Dog, Reptilian Rumor, Ancient Tech

Nick and Billy are back with a no-script, no-filter hour that goes from the octagon to the pyramids. They start with UFC fight night, where every fight ended in a knockout, and then ask why boxing died and how Mayweather went broke after earning hundreds of millions. Nick breaks down the Bama–Georgia game and the call he says decided it. Then comes the question of why athletes who earn fortunes end up broke, and how guys like Shaq and Marshawn Lynch got smart with theirs. Nick shows off the AI companion he built in a week: a lifelike version of his late dog Capone. He also gets into the wild cost of GPUs, why Elon’s pivoting to robots, and what happens when the robots unionize. Billy brings Grok dropping its AI companions and a story about an AI that tried to code its way out of being replaced. Then it goes full ancient mysteries: storing an ebook in DNA, Noah’s Ark evidence, giants, the Shroud of Turin, dinosaurs in ancient carvings, and impossibly precise stonework. Roman concrete, rustless iron columns, and a 2,000-year-old gear computer all point to the same question: were the ancients way more advanced than we give them credit for? No safe space, no cancel button, just two friends talking the way they would on a phone call, except you get to listen in. 🎧 Watch the video on YouTube and Spotify. 📲 Follow @diabolicalbastards on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and @diabolbastards on X.
