New Video: The Sex Talk

Howdy!

In this week’s new video, we explore what the appropriate response is when a child asks, “Where do babies come from?” It’s not this. It’s definitely not this.

“The Sex Talk” was directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd. It was written by Better Than The Machine and Will Nunziata for our seventh revue, It’s Not Me, It’s You.

Let us know if there are any uncomfortable things we can explain to a family member for you, as we are clearly professionals in this field!* Make sure to check bttm.net next Monday for a brand new video!

New Video: Presidents’ Day Debate

Happy Presidents’ Day from your friends Better Than The Machine!

In this week’s video, the topic is “Washington vs. Lincoln: which President was the best?” The debate is low in facts, rife with name calling, and has a strong focus on which President slept with whose mom. It is truly a worthy tribute to our country’s forefathers.

“Presidents’ Day Debate” was patriotically directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd.
