What an unexpected treat this was! Top-notch satire over here, Noel! Would definitely be interested in doing more. Thanks for being so easy-going! And deep gratitude for Margaret, who made this happen.

I like the backup music. Same one I use for boring corporate tutorials. LOL.

"...demonstrating your ability to deliver insufferable human experiences." That got me big time! 😂

A terrific pairing of talent, you two. Plus AI -- perfectly suited to create THIS particularly creepy/hilarious project. (Tonika knows how much I loathe AI, so that's a huge admission on my part!) Great job.

😂 You know, between you and me and some other theatre nerds on here, we can try and put together some satirical videos ala Babylon Bea. I have a friend who does stuff for the Onion, and he just does it on his cellphone at his house.

Two lots of talent coming together to give us the perfect job advert. Absolutely brilliant which I know I will be watching again.

AI could be our best friend or our worst enemy, it all depends on how its used. If it’s used to spread truth, knowledge and understanding, then great, it’s our friend…..if it’s used to (further) corrupt us, control us and spread evil, then its not so good….this is true of all technology. We’ll never get it back in its box, so we may as well suck it up and use it to our advantage. Of course, the entity with the horns has other ideas, so eternal vigilance will always be necessary. Great bit of satire here guys!!

So brilliant, Tonika and Noel, well done! So many good jokes in this piece but Adobe Destructive Suite hit home because they just charged me $459 for the year and my bank account is destroyed! 😱 on the phone right now to see if I can get a discount again.

Haha, thanks so much! You are right about Adobe destroying life savings. 😂

Your username is one of the coolest I've seen on Substack btw.

Some of us lucky ones get the MPX treatment and get our own airport abbreviation from Sane Francisco who is also a really talented musician and film maker in her own right, Noel.

Thanks, Noel! I have more of those too (I am drenched in monikers and alter egos). 🤓
