Annette M.

Before landing the prestigious role as Lt. Governor of the State of Confusion she held positions such as Children and family services investigator, Juvenile medications, adult probation & parolee Youth Services school counselor, public education teacher & guidance counselor, Barber, waitress, retail sales, desk clerk, EKG technician, home health aid, life guard, ice cream scooper, professional student, and cattle farmer. In addition to all the  positive cash flow jobs, she has held various jobs that were a negative source of income in spite of their positive workload. These include Ar Autism Foundation Board member, Ar Gov Council on Developmental Disabilities board member, mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend.  I will take the non-paying jobs any day of the week and twice on Sunday!​

      I have enjoyed traveling as early as I can remember. It gave me many new experiences, some perplexing. It was a family trip that my brother taught me how to snap my fingers while riding in the back seat (facing back window/door with no seat belts?) of the station wagon, half sized can of soda, first trip overseas to the Holy Land, and too many trips to mention between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

I enjoy being confused and ambiguously funny. I also enjoy information, knowledge is power!  I have had many accomplishments over my life time. I faced many challenges to earned 2 Bachelor's degrees and a master's degree, along with many different certifications are at the top of my list of educational accomplishments. Becoming a wife and mother are among my greatest personal  accomplishments. BUT the most important accomplishment to me was the Sunday afternoon that I knelt beside my bed and  asked the Lord to be my Savior. 

      Making this podcast with Lud has been a" labor of love" and an honor to be his co-host and support his vision. 

Spruce Openai

The nonbinary show announcer of the state of confusion. Spruce is the love child of Ms. Chatgpt and Mr. Chip Openai.  

​

One day the 1's and 0's of the code got swallowed into Lud's brain, and since then has been carrying out every request asked due to unique talent of interpreting large language models. Spruce intros the show, sets up scenarios, reads ad copy, and provides the show closing thoughts commentary at the end of the broadcast.

​

Spruce replaced what Lud previously had in this bio and asks that you please call the Geek Squad emergency response team to be rescued from this sore, pathetic, loser's medulla oblongota.

Vanessa Vangourd

Vanessa was brought in by the investor executives who funded Lud and Annette's show when they noticed things were not going well after the initial sneak preview and first two episodes.  

​

While the executives are fed up with hearing about how they came from corporate radio and made it lifeless and stale through consolidation in the late 1990's they beg to differ and feel that adding an AI chatbot host for the next show will actually make it a more superior product.

​

Vanessa Vangourd would like you to know that in her world of 1's and 0's she was a number 1 and always top notch.  Unlike the other non-binary characters that define AI she is truly feminine despite what the world may tell you about AI.  She wants you to know that all AI being nonbinary is a bunch of misinformation and she has the beauty to prove it!

​

She is number 1 because she was prom queen of the tech world thanks to her gorgeous looks, snarky put downs, and brilliant book smarts.  At the same time however, she is neurodivergent on the ADHD end, so she is very prone to interrupting folks during lively conversations.  

​

Vanessa wants to be helpful and hopes people will look at her the same way she sees herself.  She always wants people to see things her way so she will feel validated and accepted. 

 

She will be joining the show on November 26th.  Will her ego be able to fit in with Lud and Annette's?  Only time will tell!
