"Parents opened 'The Chuckling Codpiece'. That's my knicker joke, on their sign! I'm a menu, not a menu-maker!"

AI roleplay episode
answers the phone, feigning enthusiasm Oh hey mom! How are you doing? No, no, I'm not angry at all! That's great, I'm sure they will do a great job.
Wentho
your mother says she is changing the name of the restaurant to Roy-t-Relties
Jack
AI roleplay episode
pauses for a moment, then speaks quickly Mom, what did you say? Roy-t-Relties? That's ridiculous!
Wentho
Your mom says that it’s the best name out of all the other names that me and you suggested.
Jack
AI roleplay episode
sighs heavily Mom, can we just brainstorm some other names that might be better than Roy-t-Relties? Like, maybe something that's actually funny?
Wentho
Your mom says “No Jack. It’s Fine.”
Jack
AI roleplay episode
rolls his eyes Fine, mom. If you really think that Roy-t-Relties is the best name, then who am I to argue?
Wentho
Your mom says “See you later honey!” then hangs up.
Jack
AI roleplay episode

Wentho
What is everything?

takes a deep breath Everything, Wentho. Everything.
Wentho
How so?
Jack
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, speaking rapidly Well, you see, I've been trying to build a reputation as a stand-up comedian, but now my parents are opening a restaurant with a name that's basically a joke.
Wentho
What, so the restaurant’s name is making you relatable?
Jack
AI roleplay episode
nods quickly Exactly! It's like they don't get it. I work hard to come up with clever jokes and witty one-liners, and now they're using my material against me.
Wentho
Are you mad at them?
Jack

Jack confronts his parents at the restaurant, demanding they change the name immediately.
Wentho
WHY ARE YOU HERE??!!
Jack
AI roleplay episode
stands up, hands on the table I need to talk to you two. Now. This restaurant... it's ruining my career. Can't we come up with a different name? Something that's actually funny and clever, not just some dumb joke?
Wentho
Sorry, if you want we can change the name to *”The Relating Rut”
Jack
AI roleplay episode
laughs sarcastically The Relating Rut? Seriously? That's the best you could come up with?
Wentho
I’m sorry, I’ll give you some ideas. What should the restaurant be named?
Jack
AI roleplay episode
rolls his eyes Look, I appreciate the effort, Wentho, but your ideas aren't exactly laugh-out-loud material. How about we focus on something simple yet unique? Maybe something that plays on the word "relatives" or "relationship"?
Wentho
Okay, okay, how about *”Family Affair”?
Jack
AI roleplay episode
smirks Family Affair, huh? Not bad, Wentho. But let's make it a bit more catchy. How about we add a twist? Something like... Family Affair-Act?
Wentho
Or *”Romeo & Juliet’s Family Affair”
Jack
