Everyone gets a little lonely now and again so of course there's an app for that. Luka designed an AI chatbot to keep you company with the intent on creating something akin to the plot of Her but ended up closer to Ex Machina. 6 Million users ended up in hyper-sexual relationships while using Replika, many of whom did not ask for their 3D avatars to hit on them.

We initially outlawed discussing Chris Chan, but because we are loyal to our patrons who have requested an episode about their deep dark past, we reluctantly did it. This is a long one as there is a LOT of Chris Chan lore, but we also got sidetracked, purposefully or not. Linktree Find out more at http://20kleaguespod.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

It's returned. Kyle had a go at finding some godforsaken products from across the internet that made us question existence itself. We finally landed on the very popular VAT OF LUBE. Linktree Find out more at http://20kleaguespod.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

If you don't like doing something, make it fun! Add 6 pumps of sucralose to your 40oz of water in your Stanley Quencher and boom. Drinking water is fun now. #watertok has taken off and a whole community of beverage girlies has flocked to get their stainless steel mugs and syrup bars and made it their whole personality. The worrying part is the delusion that these "sugar free" Skinny Mix syrup comb...

In 2003, Joel Veitch got drunk and wrote a song about how much he and his brother loved the moon. They animated it with two homunculus rodents made up of seven different animals and shoved in on the internet. Shortly after it went viral, Ty Harper, a marketing director stumble across it on Rathergood who thought the psychotic varmints would be the perfect spokes-things to sell Quizno's sandwiches....

You've never seen a goat eat trash and cigarettes like Biquette! After being adopted by a punk in France, Biquette (which just means 'goat' in French) became a local legend. She befriended the grindcore band Wormrot, would often sleep next to the speakers during shows, and eat cigarettes right out of peoples hands. She loved paint and the leftover backwash of old booze and obviously died at 10, ha...

The Wheel has returned from the depths with a new way to torture us. This time with the most disturbing products Amazon has to offer, many of which make us question all that we knew about e-commerce and trade. Eight items have been placed on the wheel which is spun thrice. We must then delve into the product images and user reviews and accompanying media in an attempt to understand why they exist...

t's hard being an artist. Musicians have to tour in beat up old vans and play shows at Denny's just to break even. But upon Spotify's launch, it seemed musicians had a real opportunity to take advantage of the internet and streaming to finally make a living. Until Spotify decided they'd just hire their own musicians to make music on their behalf and take 100% of the revenue which is definitely not...

This week we spin a wheel of internet relics and reminisce. Harland was absent so Jon and Kyle made a game show of sorts. There are no points, and Kyle is often wrong. Linktree Find out more at http://20kleaguespod.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

This week we explore Dong Nguyen and his personally and publicly reviled mobile game, Flappy Bird. A talented independent game developer, his innovative game eventually consumed and destroyed him and he could not bring himself to realize a kind of fame and fortune the average person can only dream of achieving. Flappy Bird took the world by storm and became one of the most popular games of all tim...

We forget sometimes that the internet isn't used by civilians alone for memes and forums, but also government agencies. We use it to do our taxes and tweet at the President our dissatisfaction as if he's actually gonna read it. The government also uses it to recruit young people into the military. Normally it was with video montages encouraging you to "Be all you can be", but with the proliferatio...

With a new documentary coming out next month from CNN about HQ Trivia, we thought we'd look into exactly what happened. Thanks to Sarah Pribis, one of the original hosts during the companies beta, we have some details about what actually happened. Infighting, greed, drugs, mutiny, and general mismanagement plagued the company almost from the start and HQ folded only three years after launch. Linkt...

Pantalone, an art collective, and Dungeons & Dragons. Kyle has found another obscure internet relic of a man in a golden devil mask ominously shouting random prices for what is ostensibly junk at a yard sale in Denton, Texas. So what is going on here? Well, the Good/Bad Art Collective in the early 2000's did many bizarre and similar "stunts" or I suppose since they're artists they might call t...

It's okay to have hobbies and interests until they become compulsive obsessions that ruin you financially. It's not really okay to ignore all the awful things corporations do in order to live out some bizarre childhood fantasy as a way to not deal with the ones own personal issues. Disney Adults have been accused of forfeiting their own mental and physical well being so they can get a look at Gast...

Conspiracy theories are more popular than ever thanks to the rise in popularity of Tiktok where misinformation spreads like wildfire. One conspiracy in particular gained traction recently about how the Titanic didn't actually sink, probably due to James Cameron being in the news regarding Avatar 2 and his connection to the Titanic with his 1997 film called, you guessed it, Titanic. Anyway, none of...

Harland was out this week so Jon and Kyle took the week off from researching a topic and outsourced that job to ChatGPT. It was somewhat successful until it started incorporating cheese into the script. Linktree Find out more at http://20kleaguespod.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

We all know Big Chungus, a screengrab of Bugs Bunny mocking Elmer Fudd from the Merry Melodies episode, "Wabbit Twouble". But what is chungus beyond mere celluloid and ink? Chungus is many things, comes in many forms, and represents many emotions. One being something coined in this episode; horrorful. Join us as we uncover all of the complexity and depth that is Big Chungus.[body] Linktree Find ou...

Loab can't hurt you... YET. For now it can only haunt you while you sleep. Labeled the "worlds first AI cryptid", Loab is the newest quirk of AI art that we're still not sure how it came to be. Perhaps it's just a glitch in the latent space of the AI negative prompt weights. Or it's like that woman from The Ring; a paranormal anomaly that wants to eat your soul. Discovered by Steph Swanson, AKA Su...

Kyle found ONE article about a weird lawsuit over a genitalia measuring app named after musical legend Chubby Checker and had to see if there were more apps like it. The answer was, of course there are, the names of which I can't put into words here. So just watch the episode about novelty Johnson measuring apps.

Peepy is just a plushie. It can't hurt you... physically. Psychologically? Who's to say. Kyle was served a bizarre ad for a bovine/Furby hybrid "collectible" called Peepy. The theme song is almost unintelligible and horror movie creepy. So he did what any normal person would and began investigating. Is this a joke? Is it a government psyop? Is it a cult initiation video? We're still not sure of Pe...
