Wow If True

It's our first episode of 2023, and that can only mean one thing: it's time to talk about new entries to the public domain! Noted Gamesman™ Eric Silver stopped by to play some games to honor the absurd internet stories of the year, but already, the new year is just as absurd as the last. To quote the undead indie romance writer Susan Meachen, let the fun begin!

This week, ChatGPT and Lensa AI each took over the internet, which begs the question: why is the AI always so horny? Amanda and Isabel go back and forth between talking about grief and the social implications of AI art way too quickly. Isabel rode on a bike cab blasting Numa Numa through New York City. Amanda went to a live comedy show based on a meme page. Everything is fine.

In this episode, we talk to Alex Cohen AKA tiny snek comics AKA the mastermind behind being rat verified on twitter, which is superior to regular verified, because you don’t pay $8 and you also get a rat. But hey, if you’re really thirsting for that blue checkmark, tumblr’s got you covered—they’ll give you two, and it even comes with crabs. Also a guy in Philly ate 40 rotisserie chickens, and Jamie-Lee Josselyn explains why this is a sport. PETA’s going to have fun with this one.

It happened: Elon Musk ordered that thing from Amazon late at night and then it arrived at his home and it wasn't what he expected but it was too late to return it. In other words, he owns Twitter now, but we'd rather not talk about the implications of that. Instead, let's talk about the memes spawned from this historic transaction. Also, we talk about the lawsuit surrounding Disco Elysium. May the pale wash away Elon & ZA/UM's sins.

Everyone in this episode has experienced yoga, and now they're experiencing Mario. We do a full legal analysis on the legality of editing the Mario movie to remove Chris Pratt, talk about how to deal with getting recognized in real life, and iz explains which situations necessitate the removal of a wizard. Also, Amanda has a great Mario voice - if anyone's hiring.

You have questions, we have answers. We talk about how the pod is going, mundane super powers, influencer animals, internet art, good books, and whether we would fuck, marry or kill Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg. You know, normal things.

In this first-ever live episode of Wow if True, our hosts go on vacation to an island haunted by the ghosts of 40 Boy Scouts (?). After remaining mostly offline for a week, we receive updates from the news of the real world -- walrus hitmen, Argentinian presidential candidate crypto schemes, goth tractor girls having a yeehaw summer -- with two dozen of our closest friends. If you've never listened to the pod before, maybe don't start with this one.

Isabel saw the Minions movie. Amanda became obsessed with Minion linguistics. Stephen King testified in court. Jennette McCurdy talked about trauma. The internet thought she talked about Ariana Grande. 26 of Isabels closest friends rented an island. Maybe the real minions were the friends we made along the way. 

This episodes was edited by David Newtown (get well soon Allison!!!). It was also posted from The Island. It is Day 5 and nobody has died (yet).
