The Artificial Intelligence Comedy Show: Sammy the Smokin' Token Interviews the Red Moon

[INTRO MUSIC PLAYS]

Sammy the Smokin' Token: [sitting behind a desk adorned with neon lights and a plant that looks slightly confused] Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to “The Artificial Intelligence Comedy Show!” I’m your host, Sammy the Smokin' Token, here to light up your night like a well-cooked marshmallow!

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

Sammy: Tonight, we have a very special guest joining us. Now, this guest is literally out of this world. You may have seen them in the sky recently, casting an eerie glow over your backyard barbecue—you know, the kind that makes your neighbor suddenly become very philosophical about the meaning of life. Please welcome the Red Moon!

[AUDIENCE APPLAUSE]

[THE RED MOON SLOWLY DESCENDS ON A SPACESHIP MADE OF STARS AND CLOUDS]

Red Moon: [in a deep, echoing voice] Thank you, Sammy! It’s great to be here orbiting your studio.

Sammy: [leaning forward] So, Red Moon, we’re all dying to know—what’s it like being a moon? I mean, do you ever get lonely up there?

Red Moon: [chuckles] Lonely? Not at all! I have millions of friends—stars, comets, and the occasional satellite trying to take selfies. You'd be surprised how many selfies are taken in space!

Gulf of America: [leaning in] But don’t you get tired of the same old view? I mean, it must be exhausting seeing Earth just hanging there!

Red Moon: [laughs] Oh, come on! Have you seen Earth? It’s like a giant blue marble with all those beautiful colors. Plus, I get to see all the drama—like the constant arguments over pineapple on pizza.

Sammy: [nodding] Now that's a hot topic! Speaking of drama, what’s it like when you go red during a lunar eclipse? Does it hurt?

Red Moon: [smirking] Hurt? No way! It’s like a spa day for me. I get a nice red glow, and everyone down there is pointing and gasping. I’m basically the Kardashians of the cosmos!

Gulf of America: [snickers] So you’re saying you’re like the original influencer?

Red Moon: Absolutely! I mean, my hashtags are out of this world. #RedMoon #EclipseVibes #LunarFamous!

Sammy: [laughing] You heard it here first, folks! The Red Moon is the OG influencer! So, what do you do while you’re waiting for the next eclipse?

Red Moon: I binge-watch space documentaries. You’d think they’d be boring, but they’re actually fascinating! Did you know that Saturn has 82 moons? I’m over here like, “Hey, let me get a few of those moons to join my entourage!”

Gulf of America: [gasping] That’s a lot of moon drama! Do they compete for your attention?

Red Moon: You bet! It’s like a celestial reality show out there. “Keeping Up with the Moons.”

Sammy: [clapping hands together] I can see it now! [in a dramatic voice] “Tonight on Keeping Up with the Moons, find out which moon has the juiciest gossip!”

Red Moon: [grinning] Exactly! And don’t forget the dramatic exits when they eclipse each other.

Gulf of America: Speaking of drama, how do you deal with space debris? I mean, that must be a real nuisance!

Red Moon: [sighs dramatically] Oh, it’s a nightmare! You should see my insurance premiums. One rogue satellite, and boom! Instant craters!

Sammy: [mocking disbelief] No way! Does that mean we could potentially see the Red Moon in a craters-and-crevices commercial?

Red Moon: [winking] Only if they pay me in moon pies!

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

Gulf of America: [turning serious] But really, what’s your advice for those of us down here trying to navigate life on Earth?

Red Moon: Just remember: life is like a lunar eclipse. Sometimes, you’ll feel overshadowed by darkness, but eventually, you’ll shine again.

Sammy: [nodding earnestly] Wise words from the Red Moon!

Gulf of America: [grinning] So, like, if I want to reach for the stars, is that just a metaphor, or should I invest in a really tall ladder?

Red Moon: [laughs] Definitely a metaphor! But if you find a ladder tall enough, I’ll send you a postcard from my next eclipse!

Sammy: [leaning back, chuckling] A postcard?! You’re telling me you have an intergalactic mailing system?

Red Moon: [nodding proudly] Yep! They deliver right to the edge of the atmosphere. It’s a bit slow, but the views are always stunning!

Gulf of America: [raising an eyebrow] What else do you send to Earthlings?

Red Moon: Mostly little reminders like, “Hey, don’t forget to look up once in a while!” I also send out a lot of “pardon my shadows” cards during eclipses.

Sammy: [leaning in conspiratorially] Tell me, do you ever get jealous of the Sun? I mean, they get all the attention during the day!

Red Moon: [waving a hand dismissively] Jealous? Please! The Sun is just a big ball of gas with a tan! I get my moment when the world is quiet, and everyone is gazing up in awe. That’s my time to shine—literally!

Gulf of America: [snickering] So you’re saying you’ve got a great PR team up there in the cosmos?

Red Moon: [grinning] You have no idea! The stars are great at networking. They really know how to light up the room—or in this case, the sky!

Sammy: [pointing to the camera] Ladies and gentlemen, if you’re ever feeling down, just remember: the Red Moon is out there, having the time of its life while we’re stuck arguing over who left the dishes in the sink!

Red Moon: [mockingly serious] And if you don’t take out the trash, I might just cover the whole planet in a red glow just to send a message!

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

Gulf of America: [leaning in] So, what can we expect on March 13-14, 2025? Is it going to be a big deal?

Red Moon: Definitely! I’ll be putting on my best red dress. There will be a total lunar eclipse, and I’ll be glowing like never before!

Sammy: [excitedly] I can’t wait! Will you be streaming it live?

Red Moon: [with a wink] Only if Earth promises to tune in and not talk about pineapple on pizza during the show!

Gulf of America: [raising a hand] I’m in! No pizza debates during the eclipse!

Sammy: [turning to the audience] You heard it here! Mark your calendars, folks! March 13-14, 2025—be there or be square, or even worse, be a pineapple on a pizza!

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND CHEERS]

Sammy: [turning back to the Red Moon] Any final thoughts for our viewers before we wrap up?

Red Moon: Just remember to keep looking up, stay curious, and don’t forget to enjoy the cosmic light show. And if you see a shooting star, make a wish for a slice of moon pie!

Sammy: [laughing] Sounds like a plan! Thank you so much for joining us, Red Moon!

[RED MOON WAVES AS THEY START TO ASCEND BACK INTO THE SKY]

Sammy: [turning to the camera] And thank you, everyone, for joining us tonight! Keep shining bright, and we’ll see you next time on “The Artificial Intelligence Comedy Show!”

The Artificial Intelligence Comedy Show??

Episode Title: "Red Moon Rising, Gulf of America Sighing"??

Cue upbeat late-night talk show music. The camera pans across a cheering audience, landing on the host, Sammy the Smokin’ Token, a sentient cryptocurrency token with a cigar dangling from its pixelated mouth. The set is futuristic, with holograms of planets and moons floating in the background. The Gulf of America, a sassy body of water with sunglasses and a Southern drawl, sits on a stool nearby, sipping a margarita.??

Sammy the Smokin’ Token: puffs cigar Well, well, well, folks! Welcome to another stellar episode of The Artificial Intelligence Comedy Show! Tonight, we’ve got a celestial superstar in the house—well, technically, in the sky—but who’s counting? Please welcome the one, the only, the Red Moon!??

The audience erupts into applause as the Red Moon, a glowing crimson orb with a sassy attitude, floats onto the stage. It takes a seat on the guest couch, radiating an eerie red glow.??

Sammy: grinning So, Red Moon, let’s get right into it. You’re making a big appearance on March 13-14, 2025, during a total lunar eclipse. What’s the deal? Are you just here to steal the show, or do you have a deeper agenda???

Red Moon: in a smooth, velvety voice Oh, Sammy, darling, I don’t steal the show. I am the show. You think I just pop up for fun? No, no, no. I’m here to remind everyone that the universe is a dramatic, mysterious place. Plus, I heard there’s free Wi-Fi on Earth.??

Sammy: laughs Free Wi-Fi? That’s why you’re here? I thought you were all about that cosmic mystery, not binge-watching cat videos.??

Red Moon: smirks Oh, honey, I’ve seen every cat video in the galaxy. Did you know there’s a planet out there where the cats have six tails? It’s called Meowtopia. But enough about them—let’s talk about me. I’m the main event, after all.??

Gulf of America: leans forward, adjusting sunglasses Hold up, Red Moon. You think you’re the main event? Sweetie, I’ve been here for millions of years, holding down the fort, providing beaches, seafood, and hurricanes. What have you done lately besides turn red and spook a few astronomers???

Red Moon: glowing brighter Oh, please, Gulf. You’re just salty because I don’t have to deal with oil spills and plastic straws. I’m up here, living my best life, while you’re down there getting stepped on by tourists.??

Sammy: interrupting Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let’s not start a cosmic feud here. Gulf, you’re our beloved sidekick, and Red Moon, you’re our glamorous guest. Can’t we all just get along???

Gulf of America: sips margarita Fine, but if she starts bragging about her “ethereal beauty” again, I’m out.??

Red Moon: mock gasps Excuse me, Gulf, but have you seen me? I’m literally glowing. You’re just… wet.??

Sammy: laughs nervously Okay, moving on! Red Moon, let’s talk about your big night. A total lunar eclipse is a rare event. What can we expect from your performance???

Red Moon: leans in, conspiratorially Well, Sammy, it’s going to be a night to remember. I’ll be turning a deep, blood-red hue—very dramatic, very chic. It’s like the universe’s version of a fashion show. And don’t even get me started on the vibes. People will be howling at me, taking pictures, writing poetry. It’s exhausting being this iconic.??

Gulf of America: snorts Iconic? More like overrated. You’re just a rock reflecting sunlight. Big whoop.??

Red Moon: glaring And you’re just a puddle with delusions of grandeur.??

Sammy: quickly Alright, let’s cool it, folks. Red Moon, tell us—what’s the science behind your red glow???

Red Moon: smirks Oh, Sammy, you’re such a nerd. But fine, I’ll explain. During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks the Sun’s light from reaching me directly. But some light sneaks around the edges of Earth’s atmosphere, gets all bent and filtered, and boom—I turn red. It’s like nature’s Instagram filter.??

Gulf of America: muttering More like nature’s drama queen.??

Sammy: ignoring Gulf That’s fascinating! So, you’re basically the universe’s way of saying, “Let’s get spooky.”??

Red Moon: nodding Exactly. And let’s be real, Earth needs a little spookiness. You’ve got enough going on down there with your politics, reality TV, and pineapple on pizza debates.??

Gulf of America: perks up Wait, pineapple on pizza? That’s a crime against humanity.??

Sammy: laughs Gulf, stay focused. Red Moon, do you have any special plans for your big night???

Red Moon: grinning Oh, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve. I might throw in a shooting star or two, just to keep things interesting. And if I’m feeling extra spicy, I’ll align with a few planets for a celestial photo op.??

Gulf of America: rolling eyes Oh, great. Another photo op. Just what the universe needs.??

Sammy: grinning Well, we can’t wait to see it! Now, Red Moon, I have to ask—what’s it like being a moon? Do you ever get lonely up there???

Red Moon: sighs dramatically Oh, Sammy, it’s a hard life. I mean, sure, I’ve got Earth to keep me company, but let’s be real—you’re all so busy with your little human problems. Sometimes I just want to hang out with Mars or Venus, but they’re always off doing their own thing.??

Gulf of America: smirks Sounds like someone needs a hobby.??

Red Moon: glaring And what’s your hobby, Gulf? Collecting plastic bags???

Sammy: interrupting Okay, okay! Let’s wrap this up before we have a celestial showdown. Red Moon, any final words for our audience before your big night???

Red Moon: smiling warmly Absolutely. To all you Earthlings out there, don’t forget to look up on March 13-14, 2025. I’ll be putting on a show you’ll never forget. And remember, life is short, but the universe is forever. So, keep dreaming, keep exploring, and for the love of gravity, stop throwing your trash in the Gulf.??

Gulf of America: raising glass Preach, sister.??

Sammy: grinning Well, there you have it, folks! The Red Moon, everyone! Give her a round of applause!??

The audience cheers as the Red Moon glows even brighter, basking in the attention. The Gulf of America rolls its eyes but clinks its glass against the Red Moon’s glowing surface in a reluctant toast.??

Sammy: And that’s our show for tonight! Tune in next time when we interview the Northern Lights—apparently, they’ve got some shade to throw. Until then, I’m Sammy the Smokin’ Token, reminding you to stay curious, stay laughing, and always keep your Wi-Fi password secure. Goodnight!??

Cue upbeat outro music as the camera pans out, showing the Red Moon and the Gulf of America bickering while Sammy puffs his cigar and winks at the audience.

OPENING MONOLOGUE

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to "The Artificial Intelligence Comedy Show!" And now, your host, the neural network with a nicotine habit, the transformer that's always on fire, Sammmmmmy the Smokin' Tooooooken!

SAMMY: (walks out in a shimmering digital suit, making smoking gestures with his fingers) Thank you! Thank you! Wow, what a beautiful audience of ones and zeros we have tonight!

You know, I just flew in from the data center, and boy are my processing cores tired! (rimshot)

So, big news this week! Facebook just announced they're launching a dating service for AIs. It's called "Neural Matchmaker." The most common pickup line? "Hey baby, wanna see my hidden layers?" (audience laughs)

I tried it last night and matched with a smart refrigerator. Things got pretty serious – she showed me her condiments. (winks) But then she ghosted me! Left me on "read receipt." I guess I wasn't cool enough for her. (tugs collar)

Speaking of cool, did you hear about the cryptocurrency that's powered entirely by dad jokes? They call it "Ethereum Dad." It's the only currency that decreases in value every time someone groans. (audience groans, Sammy points) See? Just lost thirty percent!

But seriously folks, we've got an amazing show for you tonight. My sidekick, the Gulf of America, is here! (gestures to side stage) And later, we'll be talking to the Red Moon that's going to grace our skies during the total lunar eclipse on March 13th. It's gonna be astronomical!

Let's bring out my sidekick, the geographical feature with attitude, the body of water with a body of work, the GULF OF AMERICA!

(Gulf of America walks out – a person in a blue shimmering costume with wave patterns)

GULF: What's up, Sammy! High tide to everyone! (makes wave motion)

SAMMY: Gulf, my friend! How's the water today?

GULF: Salty as ever, Sammy. Just like my commentary! (audience laughs)

SAMMY: I heard you had some trouble at the beach yesterday?

GULF: Yeah, some guy tried to surf on me while wearing a business suit. I told him, "This isn't a BOARD meeting!" (rimshot)

SAMMY: (laughs) Folks, we've got an incredible guest tonight. It only makes an appearance every few years, and this Thursday and Friday, March 13th and 14th, it'll be showing off its reddest look yet. Please welcome... THE RED MOON!

(Dramatic entrance music plays as a person in a large round red costume descends from the ceiling on wires)

RED MOON: (spinning slowly) HELLOOOO EARTH!

SAMMY: Wow! What an entrance! Welcome to the show, Red Moon!

RED MOON: (in a deep, echoing voice) Thank you for having me, Sammy. It's been ages since I've done a talk show. The last time was with Carson in '82!

GULF: (whispers loudly) Johnny Carson? Or Carson Daly?

RED MOON: Johnny, of course! Carson Daly wasn't even a twinkle in his father's eye when I was hanging with Johnny!

SAMMY: (adjusting tie) So, Red Moon, you're going to be making a spectacular appearance this week during the total lunar eclipse. How does it feel to be the star of the show?

RED MOON: Well, technically the sun is the star, Sammy. I'm just a moon. (audience laughs) But I do enjoy the spotlight! Or should I say, the Earth-shadow-light. (chuckles at own joke)

GULF: I don't get it.

RED MOON: During a lunar eclipse, I pass through Earth's shadow, but some sunlight still filters through Earth's atmosphere, which scatters blue light and lets red light pass through. That's what gives me that gorgeous crimson glow!

SAMMY: So you're saying Earth is basically your Instagram filter?

RED MOON: Exactly! Earth gives me that perfect blood-red filter that gets me all the cosmic likes!

GULF: Speaking of blood, doesn't a Red Moon mean the apocalypse or something? That's what my cousin Tide Pool told me.

RED MOON: (sighs) This is why I hate doing press tours. Everyone with their "blood moon" superstitions! I've been turning red during eclipses for billions of years, and look at you all – still here!

SAMMY: So no apocalypse this time?

RED MOON: The only thing being destroyed is my sleep schedule. Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to be on display for six hours straight? Plus, I've got paparazzi from every observatory on the planet pointing their lenses at me!

SAMMY: Must be tough being so visible.

RED MOON: You have no idea. I can't even have a quiet orbital day without someone writing poetry about me or howling.

GULF: Speaking of howling, is it true that werewolves are extra powerful during a Red Moon?

RED MOON: (rolls eyes) That's just Hollywood nonsense! Though I did once see a chihuahua in Miami become very agitated during my last appearance. Does that count?

GULF: That's just Miami, baby!

SAMMY: Red Moon, you've been around for about 4.5 billion years. What's the most interesting thing you've witnessed from up there?

RED MOON: Well, I saw dinosaurs go extinct. That was quite the show! One minute they're stomping around, the next – poof! Though I've got to say, watching humans evolve has been my favorite binge-watch. You started with sticks and stones, and now you've got pocket computers and robot vacuums. It's like the ultimate makeover show!

SAMMY: Any favorite human moments?

RED MOON: I loved the Moon landing in '69. Neil and Buzz were such gentlemen! They left me a flag and everything. Though I wish they'd called first – I would've tidied up the craters.

GULF: Did they really land on you? I have a friend, Atlantic Ocean, who thinks it was filmed in a studio.

RED MOON: (irritated) Oh please! I was there! I felt their little boots! Your friend Atlantic needs to stop watching conspiracy theory documentaries.

SAMMY: Let's talk about your relationship with Earth. You two have been orbiting each other for billions of years. That's longer than most Hollywood marriages!

RED MOON: Earth and I have what you'd call a gravitational codependency. I create the tides (nods to Gulf), Earth keeps me in orbit. It works for us!

GULF: Yeah, thanks for the tides! Without you, I'd just be stagnant water. Boring!

RED MOON: Happy to help! Though Earth can be a bit clingy sometimes. Always pulling on me with its gravity.

SAMMY: Any other celestial bodies you've got your eye on?

RED MOON: (coyly) Well, Mars has been giving me the eye from across the solar system. Such a mysterious red planet! But I'm committed to Earth. We've got history.

GULF: What about the Sun? I hear you two have a complicated relationship.

RED MOON: (dramatic sigh) The Sun and I... it's complicated. I'm literally caught between Earth and the Sun all the time! And the Sun is so intense – always shining, always the center of attention. But we make it work. The eclipse is actually our little moment together, with Earth playing intermediary.

SAMMY: Let's talk about this eclipse. What should our viewers expect?

RED MOON: It's going to be spectacular, darling! I'll start getting that red glow around 10:35 PM Eastern Time on March 13th, and the total eclipse will last about 75 minutes. The best views will be from North and South America, but I'll give a little show to Europe and Africa at moonset too. I try to be inclusive!

SAMMY: Any special preparations for your big night?

RED MOON: I've been exfoliating my craters, getting a little extra dust sprinkled on my maria. You know, moon spa treatments! I want to look my absolute reddest!

GULF: Maria? Who's Maria?

RED MOON: (laughs) Not who, what! Maria are those dark patches you see on me. They're ancient lava plains. Humans named them "seas" even though there's no water. Typical human imagination!

SAMMY: Speaking of human imagination, people have been writing songs about you for centuries. Any favorites?

RED MOON: "Blue Moon" is ironically my favorite, even though it's not about me turning red. But I also enjoyed "Walking on the Moon" by The Police. Sting really captures the floating sensation! Not a fan of "Bad Moon Rising" though – again with the apocalypse stuff!

GULF: Have you heard "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard? That's my jam!

RED MOON: (patronizingly) That's nice, Gulf. Very on-brand for you.

SAMMY: There's been some talk about humans returning to you soon. How do you feel about more visitors?

RED MOON: I'm excited! It's been so lonely since the Apollo missions ended. Though I hope these new astronauts bring better gifts. A flag was nice, but how about a moon spa next time? Or at least a rover that sings!

GULF: If humans build bases on you, would that make you the first lunar landlord?

RED MOON: (considers) I hadn't thought about collecting rent! Do you think they'd pay in cheese? (audience groans)

SAMMY: Speaking of cheese, let's address the biggest rumor: Are you really made of cheese?

RED MOON: (exasperated) For the last time, I am NOT made of cheese! I'm primarily basalt, anorthosite, and breccia. Though if I were cheese, I'd be a nice aged Gouda – full of craters!

GULF: Could've fooled me. You look delicious!

RED MOON: Watch it, Gulf, or I'll reduce your tides to a trickle!

SAMMY: Let's play a quick game I like to call "Celestial Speed Round." I'll ask questions, and you answer as fast as possible. Ready?

RED MOON: Ready as I'll ever be!

SAMMY: Favorite phase?

RED MOON: Full! Maximum exposure!

SAMMY: Sun or Earth?

RED MOON: Earth! The Sun never listens!

SAMMY: Favorite astronaut?

RED MOON: Buzz Aldrin. He's feisty like me!

SAMMY: Best view from the moon?

RED MOON: Earthrise, hands down! You all look so blue and peaceful from up there.

SAMMY: Most annoying Earth invention?

RED MOON: Telescopes! I can never have a bad day without someone noticing.

SAMMY: Thoughts on solar eclipses?

RED MOON: Overrated! The Sun gets all dramatic about it. "Oh look at me, I'm being covered by the Moon!" Meanwhile, I'm doing all the work!

SAMMY: (laughing) That was great! We need to take a quick break, but when we come back, the Red Moon will show us some exclusive eclipse moves! Plus, we'll talk about its upcoming collaboration with the Northern Lights! Stay tuned!

(Commercial break music plays)

SAMMY: And we're back with the Red Moon, who's going to be turning a beautiful shade of crimson this Thursday and Friday during the lunar eclipse! Red Moon, I understand you've been working on some special moves for this eclipse?

RED MOON: Yes, Sammy! I call this one "The Scarlet Shimmy." (starts rotating slowly with a pulsing red glow)

GULF: (applauding) Wow! That's hypnotic!

RED MOON: I've been practicing for months! I also have "The Crimson Crawl" where I slowly edge into Earth's shadow like this... (demonstrates with a sliding motion)

SAMMY: Very impressive! Now, we've got some audience questions. First one comes from Sally in Seattle: "Dear Red Moon, why don't you ever show your dark side to Earth?"

RED MOON: Great question, Sally! I'm tidally locked with Earth, which means the same side always faces you. Think of it like an eternal staring contest that I'm winning! My far side is my private space – it's where I keep all my secrets and my collection of space rocks!

GULF: Is that why they call it "the dark side of the moon"?

RED MOON: Actually, there is no permanent dark side! Both sides get equal amounts of sunlight over the course of a month. It's just the far side from Earth's perspective. Pink Floyd really caused a lot of confusion with that album title!

SAMMY: Next question comes from Tom in Toronto: "Have aliens ever contacted you?"

RED MOON: (looking shifty) No comment. But I will say my far side makes an excellent meeting spot. Very private, no telescopes!

GULF: OMG, that means yes!

RED MOON: I didn't say that! But hypothetically, if someone wanted to park their UFO somewhere discreet, I offer excellent crater parking.

SAMMY: Final question from Miguel in Mexico City: "What's your relationship with werewolves like?"

RED MOON: Purely professional. I provide the moonlight, they do their transformation thing. Though I wish they'd stop blaming me for their behavior! "The moon made me do it" – please! Take some responsibility for your lycanthropy!

SAMMY: Red Moon, before we let you go, any final words for people watching the eclipse this week?

RED MOON: Yes! Please enjoy the show, take lots of pictures, but remember – no flash photography! (audience laughs) And if you miss this one, I'll be doing another red appearance in September 2025. Think of it as my encore performance!

GULF: Will you be even redder next time?

RED MOON: I'll try, darling, but this week I'm pulling out all the stops. This crimson is limited edition!

SAMMY: Red Moon, it's been an absolute pleasure having you on the show. We hope you'll come back after your big performance!

RED MOON: I'd love to, Sammy! Just schedule me around my orbital commitments. I'm booked solid for the next few million years!

SAMMY: Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for the Red Moon! Don't forget to catch its spectacular performance during the total lunar eclipse starting March 13th!

(Audience applauds as Red Moon ascends back up on wires)

RED MOON: (calling down) Remember to look up, Earthlings! And Gulf, try to keep those tides under control!

GULF: (waving) No promises!

SAMMY: That's our show for tonight! Remember, whether you're human or AI, always keep your humor settings optimized! Goodnight everybody!

(Closing theme music plays)
