Revolting is a cycling podcast that isn’t about bikes, or even cycling really. Hosts Robot and Stevil sift through topics vaguely related to cycling, looking for what’s good, what’s better, and dwelling sometimes on what’s confusing. The guys are looking, and almost never finding, answers. But the fun is in the looking. This a cycling podcast for those not defined by racing, high-performance, or any performance at all really. It’s a podcast for people who just like to ride bikes, and do other stuff, because it’s fun. Revolting is another fine production by The Cycling Independent.

One of the problems of being alive right now is that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to know what’s true, to even know what you know. There’s AI, deep fakes, fake news, memes, rumors, conspiracy theories, stuff we see in dreams, numerology, astrology and psychic surgery. How in the ever-loving heck do we navigate a world in which what we know is constantly under attack b

Humans will believe just about anything. You wonder how people join UFO-worshipping, death cults, but is any of that so far from the stuff everyday people are completely sure about as they walk around the planet, eating food and reproducing?

This episode has been gifted to humanity one day before the US election that may or may not (but probably will) trigger the end of our species in the universe. We can imagine a few of you are feeling some considerable stress, so today we’re going to talk about how to laugh while all around you is fire and/or brimstone.

There are milestones in life that you see coming, and there are others that just happen to you. There are some you think are going to move your forward, like a marriage or a new job, but maybe they don’t pan out quite as expected. You shouldn’t expect anything, or maybe you should expect absolutely anything, if you know what we mean.

There are aliens among us, people endowed with extraordinary abilities and no fucks to give. They don’t need expensive equipment. They don’t need a very tight shirt. They don’t need you to see them do the things they do. They’re just built different.

Never mind the sci-fi novel or the mini-series they made from it. Today we’re talking about the design problems with the human body, which are as obvious as the nose on your knee. Also, we can’t do anything about them, even though they’ll probably cause us to go extinct sooner rather than later.

In the night, when the hungers come, the mind capers at the culinary possibilities lurking in pantries and refrigerators. Weekend mornings, when we’re maybe not our best, we’ve contrived dishes that will never find a home at your local Applebees. Then there’s the stuff we’ve eaten on dares.

Either by algorithm, lowest-cost architecture, or the crushing weight of American cultural hegemony, we are all being rinsed clean of original thought, encouraged to communicate in memes and enjoy things like “boneless” wings.

The Revolting biopic is a comedy and a cautionary tale, a bildungsroman and a French period drama. Sure, it’s got panache and style. The costumes are outstanding, but what are the lessons we’re meant to learn from it and why does the plot seem so incoherent?

We may look like only slightly abnormal human beings, but oh, you should have seen us back in the day, or rather, on that one day, when we were really good at something, so good that we remember it and base some not insignificant amount of our self-esteem on it still. You shoulda been there.
