Thanksgiving hits different when your avatar is more valuable than your real self. In this week’s edition of Off the Record, On the Rocks, Toner & Ankarino break down the three big flippenings of the season: Sam Altman’s ambient “calm computing” moonshot, Jesse Pollock turning himself into a coin, and Elon Musk telling us that money is just a vibe (preferably traded in puka shells).

Google Gemini hijacks the narrative while Disney unzips its IP vault to let your digital twin play dress-up as Elsa. The creator economy is no longer about what you make—it’s about who you are, or who you pretend to be. Klarna mints a stablecoin, OpenSea trades creator tokens, and Polymarket becomes the unofficial Fed.

Black Friday isn’t even a day anymore—it’s a mirror, and you’re in it.

Happy holidays.

World Series goes to Game 7, Dodgers win big, and Polymarket wins bigger—because the metaverse already called it. As parents tailgate on lawns during trick-or-treating and kids watch Otani on PS5, America’s pastime collides with predictive markets, AI twins, and a new economic singularity.

Meanwhile, Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong trolls Wall Street in real-time, Hong Kong opens the crypto floodgates literally the morning after the election, and Animoca reverse-merges into a NASDAQ shell to become Web3’s first public sandbox. Throw in the AWS x OpenAI cloud arms deal, Tylenol stock manipulation via Truth Social, and a looming IPO from Sam Altman, and you’re not just watching the show—you are the bet.

The game now runs on tokens, energy, behavior, and time. And whether it’s GTA6 or Trump Tower Casino, your digital twin just placed a wager. On the Super Beaver Moon, the house always wins—but only if you missed the memo.
