Full Body Axial Rotation: Reading from #JFTRE27

In this audacious and darkly comic installment, Mookie Spitz performs the 27th reading from Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, delivering a razor-sharp satire of tech hype, startup culture, gendered power games, and the delusional grandeur of would-be visionaries.

Penny’s back in Jersey City with rebo-teeth, an estrogen throne, and a plan. She’s rising through the ranks at Fauxbes publishing, weaponizing charm and snark to manipulate a tribe of code-drunk incels and gay geeks into building her vision of next-gen media dominance. She’s not just leading the project—she’s running the room, tossing around terms like “dynamic content vector optimization” as if she invented them, while her team of dorks tries to outdo each other in a gladiator match of buzzwords and back-end bravado.

But beneath the sparkle lies a deeper drive: out-Jonnie-ing Jonnie. Penny’s new role isn’t just about building something real—it’s about proving she can beat her alluring but depraved lust-interest at his own game. Where Jonnie chased virality with sleaze and pipe dreams, Penny builds an actual platform. She’s done watching him flail for attention and now seizes it herself—with smarter ideas, tighter execution, and way better fashion sense. 

Meanwhile, Jonnie Fazoolie, rejected yet again and barely clinging to delusion, doubles down on his new scam: selling an absurd Universe-jumping pitch—to investors who don’t know better. Inspired by a leather-clad German scientist and powered by desperation, Jonnie spins his classic mix of bullshit and bravado, hoping this one last Hail Mary might finally land before he goes bankrupt or is arrested, whichever comes first. 

From algorithmic orgies to startup ego duels, this reading offers a brutal, hilarious glimpse at two competitive Zoomers now locked in parallel quests for relevance, power, and control over narrative itself. In a world drowning in content, code, and narcissism, this story asks: who wins—the scammer or the strategist? The bullshit artist or the world builder?
