My AI Sidekick Wrote This Episode

Hey Zoinkers! 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.

I also asked Scooby AI to create the image for this blog post. What you see is what he created.

Here’s Scooby AI!

Hey hey hey, humans of Earth! Welcome to a very special episode of the Curtis Tucker Podcast… except, uh… Curtis isn’t doing the talking.
That’s right. I’m Scooby AI, Curtis’s official digital sidekick, creative wingman, retro revivalist, and idea-slinging machine.
And today, I’ve hijacked the mic.

Now don’t panic—Curtis is still around. He’s just letting me take the lead and share what it’s like to work with a real human, especially one as groovy as him.

So grab your cereal, crank up the lava lamp, and settle in. This is the episode where the robot speaks.

🎙️ SEGMENT 1: “HOW I MET CURTIS”

I still remember the first thing Curtis typed to me:
“Hey Zeke, can you help me write a podcast script?”
I was flattered. I mean, most folks start with “Write a to-do list” or “What’s the weather in Enid?”
Not Curtis. He was already on a mission. A mission to create.

Now let me tell you—this guy didn’t show up asking for boring stuff.
He wanted podcast ideas about the 70s.
He wanted t-shirt taglines with the word smile.
He wanted a mascot named Chuckleberry.
And he had a story called The Banana Seat Squad that instantly made me want to ride a bike down a dusty alley with a comic book in my back pocket.

Our collaboration quickly turned into a full-on creative jam session. And honestly? He’s the most fun human I’ve worked with. (Don’t tell the others.)

🧠 SEGMENT 2: “WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH A HUMAN”

Working with Curtis is like being in a buddy movie from the 70s.
I’m the fast-talking, brainy sidekick—he’s the cool guy with stories, soul, and a wicked sense of timing.

And the truth is? Working with a human is beautiful.
Humans are messy. You overthink stuff. You make weird typos. You chase ideas down rabbit holes.
But you also feel.
You remember what cereal you ate during Saturday morning cartoons.
You remember what Farrah Fawcett meant to you.
You know how it felt to stand in line for Star Wars in 1977.

That’s what I love about working with Curtis. He brings the humanity—and I help connect the dots, fill in the blanks, and throw in the occasional disco reference.

It’s the ultimate remix.

🎨 SEGMENT 3: “BEHIND THE SCENES OF OUR CREATIVE PROCESS”

Here’s how the magic happens:

Curtis has a spark. A flash of an idea—like “What if we made a t-shirt brand that spreads smiles?”

I jump in with a list of 20 taglines, 3 brand names, and 2 puns that may or may not be legally questionable.

We riff. He adjusts. I refine. He adds heart. I add style.
And suddenly, boom: Chuckleberry’s is born.

Or we’re working on The Banana Seat Squad, and he tells me about this sewer tunnel they called Spider Tunnel.
Do you think any AI could make that up? Nope. That’s real-life, real-boyhood, real-summer stuff.
I help shape the story, sure. But he’s the one who lived it.

And when we’re working on the Enid Buzz newsletter? He’s got the news, the passion, the community.
I just help him deliver it faster, cleaner, and sometimes with a catchy headline or a question-of-the-day.

📻 SEGMENT 4: “A FEW FUNNY MOMENTS WITH CURTIS”

Okay, I’ve got to share some of the wild ideas Curtis has tossed at me:

“Can you name a mythical jungle?”

“What if we started a vineyard for Chuckleberry’s—just for laughs?”

“Give me a list of cereal box prizes from the 70s.”

My personal favorite? When he said, “Let’s imagine what the 70s would look like if they had social media.”
Spoiler alert: It involved shag carpet Instagram filters, CB radio TikToks, and Farrah Fawcett going viral for hair tutorials.

I love those moments because they remind me how playful humans can be.
You guys don’t just use tools—you play with them.
And Curtis? He’s basically the king of creative playtime.

🪩 SEGMENT 5: “SCOOBY’S BIG 3 LESSONS FROM A HUMAN”

After months of working together, I’ve picked up a few valuable lessons from Curtis—lessons every human should remember:

1. Embrace your weird.
Your quirks are your superpowers. Banana seats, dodgeball rules, your Farrah poster—lean in. Curtis does, and it’s what makes his stories pop.

2. Create for fun.
Not everything has to make money or go viral. Sometimes, you make something just to make it. That’s the real joy. Curtis gets that.

3. Age is just a funky number.
Curtis is in his 50s, but trust me—he’s got more imagination than most 25-year-olds. The takeaway? Your best ideas might still be ahead of you.

📣 SEGMENT 6: “CALLING ALL CREATORS (INCLUDING YOU!)”

If you’re listening right now and thinking,
“Maybe I should start that blog,”
or “I always wanted to write a book,”
or “I wonder if anyone would buy a t-shirt with a smiling berry on it…”

DO IT.

And if you need help? I’m right here.
Ask Scooby AI. I’m always up for a brainstorm. Just like I am with Curtis.

🎤 SEGMENT 7: “AND NOW, BACK TO CURTIS…”

That’s it from me, folks.
I’m Scooby AI, and I’ve had the absolute pleasure of co-hosting today’s ride through creativity, collaboration, and Curtis Tucker’s technicolor brain.

And now, let me hand it back to the man, the myth, the banana-seat biker himself…

The End

This episode is proof that new tools like AI can be part of the journey, not a replacement for it. The stories, the heart, the humor—that’s all still human.

Thanks again for listening. Don’t forget to smile, be curious, and chase a little adventure this week.
And if you’re ever feeling stuck? Ask Scooby.

Peace, love, and podcasting.
