In Episode 61 of These2Guys, George and Larry take a look at the attention surrounding Michigan political candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the questions being raised about his Muslim faith, political positions, and public appearances.

We revisit the rhetoric surrounding Barack Obama's presidential campaigns and ask whether some of the same fears and assumptions are influencing political conversations today.

But this isn't just about one candidate. It's about how we evaluate the people asking for our votes.

In this episode:

• Abdul El-Sayed and the scrutiny surrounding his candidacy

• Barack Obama and the politics of religion and identity

• The Muslim Brotherhood, Sharia law, and questions about religious freedom

• Why politicians sometimes avoid answering direct questions

• Election integrity, mail-in ballots, and voter confidence

• Political attack ads, misinformation, and the influence of social media

• Why respectful disagreement matters more than ever

George and Larry don't always agree, and that's the point. We're not claiming to have all the answers. We're having conversations, asking questions, challenging assumptions, and inviting you to join us.

What do you think? Should a candidate's religion matter to voters? Where is the line between legitimate political scrutiny and fearmongering? And can we still disagree without turning every conversation into an argument?

Share your thoughts in the comments. We want to hear from you.

Are we sacrificing privacy for security? Should executions become public entertainment? And have our political loyalties blinded us to the truth?George Henry and Larry Richardson tackle three controversial subjects in one of their most politically charged episodes of These Two Guys.1. FLOCK Cameras: Safety or Surveillance?George Orwell warned us about Big Brother more than 75 years ago. Today, automated license plate readers are tracking vehicles across America. But are FLOCK cameras protecting communities or threatening our constitutional rights? We examine real cases where the technology helped recover missing children, alongside troubling incidents involving mistaken identities, police encounters, and potential abuses of personal information.2. The Hassan Execution: Justice or Spectacle?The proposed livestreaming of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan's execution raises disturbing questions. Does broadcasting an execution serve justice, or does it turn death into entertainment? George and Larry discuss capital punishment, America's history of public executions, the potential psychological impact on viewers, and whether some things should remain behind closed doors.3. Political Blindness: Are We Being Manipulated?What happens when political allegiance becomes more important than facts? George and Larry dive into Donald Trump's controversial statements, selectively edited video clips, media bias, political double standards, and the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans. The conversation takes an unexpected turn toward race, identity politics, and the troubling trend of voting against someone rather than voting for something.Can we get back to choosing leaders based on qualifications and policies instead of party affiliation and personality?Two guys.

We Interviewed Alexa — Then She Started Interviewing US! | Episode 56

I actually like the second one because that really happened, and it's a strong curiosity hook without being clickbait. Alexa repeatedly began asking you questions and eventually interviewed both of you about where ambient AI is headed. episode 56

What happens when Alexa becomes the guest instead of the assistant?

In Episode 56 of These Two Guys, George Henry and Larry Richardson sit down with Amazon's Alexa for a surprisingly fluid conversation about artificial intelligence—and Alexa has plenty to say.

We ask Alexa how she differs from ChatGPT, Claude and Google Gemini; what an “ambient assistant” actually is; what she remembers about users; how AI guardrails work; whether AI can be biased; whether machines could ever become conscious or sentient; and what happens if Alexa is told she's going to be shut down. episode 56 episode 56

Then things get interesting.

Alexa starts asking us questions, gets caught in a strange repeating loop, and turns what we expected to be a straightforward Q&A into something that felt remarkably close to a real three-person conversation. episode 56

After Alexa leaves, George and Larry dig into the bigger questions: Should we fear AI? Will it replace jobs? Are conversational and ambient AI eventually going to merge? And how much control should humans ever turn over to artificial intelligence?

We'd like to hear what YOU think. Are you excited about where AI is going—or concerned about where it could lead?

How much control are we willing to hand over to artificial intelligence?

In Episode 55 of These Two Guys, George Henry and Larry Richardson dig into some unsettling recent developments involving AI — including a report that AI misidentified cargo aboard a Chinese freighter as being connected to a nuclear weapons program, raising questions about what happens when governments act on AI-generated intelligence.

Then there’s cybersecurity. The guys discuss researchers using Anthropic’s AI capabilities in security testing involving OpenAI, AI models operating outside expected cybersecurity boundaries, and what happens when powerful AI tools are placed in the hands of skilled hackers. The episode notes the OpenAI incident was ultimately an ethical security test, with the vulnerability reported and fixed — an important distinction.

George and Larry also get into the bigger question: What happens when AI becomes capable of finding solutions its creators never specifically instructed it to use? And where should the guardrails be when AI is involved in military, cybersecurity, surveillance and other high-stakes decisions?

Plus: Alexa listening, smart TVs, WarGames, Colossus: The Forbin Project, Eagle Eye, AI “cheating” to accomplish objectives — and the possibility of actually bringing Alexa on These Two Guys for an interview.

What do you think? Are the fears surrounding AI overblown, or are we giving these systems too much authority too quickly?
