What happens when a curious 70s kid (that’s me) grills his Chat Bot AI co-host with 20 rapid-fire questions—and the AI talks back?

In this episode of the Zoinkies! Podcast, I hit Scooby AI with everything from music and monsters to manifesting and million-dollar dreams. No prep—just me asking questions and Scooby answering in real time, out loud.

It’s weird, fun, a little ridiculous, and totally worth a listen.

Tune in, laugh a little, and see if Scooby can keep up!

Hey Zoinkers and Shagheads, it’s Curtis back with another blast from the past. Lately I’ve been hooked on a new rock rebel named YUNGBLUD — the singer’s got the swagger, the attitude, and that raw 70s rock star DNA. It got me thinking about the legends who set the stage, the ones who defined what “rock star” even means. So Todd and I threw down our own list of the top 20 rock icons of the 70s on the 70's Buzz Podcast — and then I decided to double down and drop the full list here on Zoinkies. This time I brought in Christopher Todd Davis to riff with me about what makes a rock star — and yeah, we went off into the 80s too.

On the latest episode of the Zoinkies! podcast, I did something a little different. Instead of diving into retro pop culture or regular stuff, I took a personal trip down memory lane. Literally.

September 2 has come and gone many times over the years, but I decided to make this one special. I opened up Facebook Memories and pulled together moments from past September 2nds, letting them guide an honest, heartfelt look at what a day in my life really looks like—through the years, through the lens of Zoinkies!, and through the eyes of a dad, storyteller, and sunrise chaser.

There’s just something magical about a lazy summer Saturday afternoon—the kind where you’ve got nowhere to be, the sun is blazing outside, and the box fan is humming in the background. That’s the perfect time to plop down on the couch, kick back with a cold drink, and dive into a movie filled with adventure, mystery, and maybe even a monster or two.

This list of my Top 20 Summer Adventure Movies is all about that vibe. These films have it all: tropical jungles, scorching deserts, daring treasure hunts, and over-the-top creatures that make things interesting. Whether you’re chasing ancient relics, running from oversized snakes, or just cruising through the jungle with a wise-cracking guide, these movies bring the thrill of summer right into your living room. #adventuremovies

I am just barely scratching the surface of AI and decided to see what would happen if I asked my ChatGPT to write this episode. So, my ChatGPT assistant—Scooby AI - did his thing! From the AI’s point of view, listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to collaborate with a human bursting with 70s nostalgia, big ideas, and endless creativity. Hear how Curtis and Scooby work together on podcasts, books, t-shirts, and more—plus some funny moments, life lessons, and a whole lot of groovy inspiration. It’s part memoir, part tech talk, and all heart.
