Every time an ai chatbot gets something publicly wrong in an embarrassing way I like to think that’s some relic from something of mine it harvested.

Last night on the podcast @amikebloomtype.bsky.social said that Phil would be a great host for a kids show and I said “I think that did happen in the 90s.”

I give you: 23-year-old Phil as a kids tv presenter in the most 90s thing that ever 90sed:

Look, I know how I’D change #AmazingRace. They know how to reach me, so it’s on them that they haven’t called. 🤣

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (I mean they seem like nice guys but ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.) #AmazingRace #TAR38

Well, that seems like an appropriate finish line for one team dominating the entire season with very little suspense. #AmazingRace

In the below post I almost said “if they end up in the Bronx I’m going to be extremely weirded out”
They went from the neighborhood where my last job was to the neighborhood of the job I had before that. If I were running this #AmazingRace I would definitely get taken down by hubris.

If they’d gotten Will Shortz to judge this task, it MIGHT have saved it for me. #AmazingRace

Waiting for one of these crossword answers to be “caltoru” #AmazingRace

Now feels like a good time to share my NYTimes crossword stats. #AmazingRace

I rarely watch #AmazingRace finales by myself at home. So I can’t tell you what the chance is that I would have fallen asleep during any other finale…but I’ve already nodded off twice during this one.
December 11, 2025 at 3:33 AM
I don’t buy it for a second. Everyone who’s watched even one #AmazingRace finale knows that if you don’t literally see two teams in the same shot, it isn’t close.

Cookie Monster and Oscar don’t have legs. I’d rather see Big Bird and Snuffleupagus running #AmazingRace.
December 11, 2025 at 3:14 AM
Okay this fabric task explains a lot about my forthcoming Friday night plans. #AmazingRace

Watching Cookie Monster cuddle Phil, I’m not sure which one of them I’m jealous of. #AmazingRace

Spandex House is right around the corner from two different bars where I went to TARCon back in the day. #AmazingRace
December 11, 2025 at 3:07 AM
I’m waiting for someone to completely big-time Cookie Monster. “I’m sorry…you are?” #AmazingRace

Getting real tired of total nothing-burger #AmazingRace tasks that give teams no chance to catch up, like “adrenaline task that requires spectacle but no skill” and “take a taxi to this place and get a thing to take to another place.”
December 11, 2025 at 3:02 AM
Look I know you’re all using #tar38 for your hashtag but I’ve been using #AmazingRace for 14 years and I’m the closest thing you have to an Amazing Race influencer so I’ll be over here when you all come back around.

(This is facetious, don’t @ me.)

Honestly wouldn’t have been half as invested in #AmazingRace this season without Paige and Izzy.
December 11, 2025 at 2:54 AM
I need to see Phil housing the cookie again. I watched it on Instagram avout 90 times. #AmazingRace
December 11, 2025 at 2:51 AM
If they didn’t get Zohran to run a task in NYC, I guess Cookie Monster is a decent backup. #AmazingRace

Someone in the YouTube comments got mad because I took the lord’s name in vain on a podcast, to which I say, I’m glad this person has never interacted with me off the podcast because my everyday speech is, shall we say, often creatively embellished with colorful metaphors. #rhap

Phil: “if you think you can cancan kick it on the #AmazingRace…”
Me: (throws the remote at the tv)

As someone who wasted about a month of my life on this puzzle (which was missing a piece), I felt personally attacked by this week’s #AmazingRace
