What started as a few-paragraph rant, fueled by two Totino’s pizzas and a box of Whoppers candy, turned into a full-blown production because ChatGPT kept egging me on instead of being the responsible adult in the room. Apparently “artificial intelligence” does not include knowing when to stop encouraging an unsupervised Gen-X smartass.

NO! AI didn't write it! The AI just helped my organize my rant, tossed in a smart assed comment, I ran with that comment and the AI just wouldn't stop egging me on. All the content came out of MY totally fucked up, demented Gen-X brain!

It starts with America’s long-standing inability to leave well enough alone and eventually reaches Canadians defeating an invasion with snacks and aliens deciding that making contact with humanity was a spectacularly bad idea.

Somewhere along the way, history lost control of the meeting and the smartasses took over. It is profane, nostalgic, completely outrageous, and considerably longer than anyone involved should have allowed.

And before somebody starts with “TL;DR”—there’s a built-in audio player right on the page. Press play. I have arranged for the entire fucking thing to be read to you, complete with character voices. Roughly 50 minutes of questionable supervision, now available for your ears.
