Cosmo Kramer bursts through the door, nearly tripping over the rug, waving his phone like heโs uncovered a historic event.
โJoe! Joe! I just saw it!โ he shouts.
Joe looks up calmly. โWhat now, Kramer?โ
Kramer points excitedly at the screen.
โItโs Miss Portugal herself โ Nelly Furtado โ asking for a kiss on X from her ex! On X! Thatโs the whole world watching!โ
Nelly laughs. โRelax, Kramer. Itโs just a joke.โ
But Kramer suddenly stops pacing.
โWaitโฆ waitโฆ I take it back.โ
Joe raises an eyebrow. โYou take what back?โ
Kramer straightens up and nods with admiration.
โYou beat them all, Joe. The whole system!โ
Nelly crosses her arms, curious. โWhat system?โ
Kramer points at Joe like heโs presenting a genius.
โYou didnโt put the kisses on X. You didnโt sell them to the studios. You didnโt hand them to the tech billionaires!โ
Joe shrugs. โSo?โ
Kramer slaps the table.
โYou put the A.I. kisses on your own WordPress site!โ
Joe nods. โFree for the fans.โ
Kramer gasps like heโs witnessing a revolution.
โFree! Do you realize what youโve done?!โ
Nelly laughs. โWhat has he done, Kramer?โ
Kramer paces like an excited philosopher.
โThis is renaissance thinking! Joe is a renaissance man with the A.I.!โ
Joe smiles. โA renaissance man?โ
โYes!โ Kramer says. โArt, technology, romance, philosophy โ all on one little WordPress page. The people donโt have to beg Elon Musk for permission!โ
Nelly shakes her head, amused.
โKramer, itโs just a website.โ
Kramer points dramatically at Joe.
โNo! Itโs independence! Itโs the digital printing press!โ
Joe laughs. โThatโs a big comparison.โ
Kramer nods seriously.
โYouโre leading the brotherhood into a new age.โ
โThe brotherhood?โ Nelly asks.
Kramer lowers his voice like heโs revealing a secret.
โThe Freemasons, baby. Builders of civilization!โ
Joe smirks. โAnd theyโre watching my WordPress site?โ
โOh theyโre watching,โ Kramer says confidently. โBecause the renaissance man always gives the art to the people.โ
Nelly smiles at Joe.
โSo the kisses are free?โ
Joe nods. โAlways.โ
Kramer throws his arms up triumphantly.
โThatโs it! Romance without corporate sponsorship!โ
He points at Joe like heโs announcing a champion.
โHistory will remember this moment!โ
Joe laughs.
โKramerโฆ itโs just A.I. kisses.โ
Kramer grins.
โMaybe today.โ
He taps the phone again.
โBut tomorrowโฆ itโs the renaissance.โ ๐
