I have a sneaking suspicion that Lemon referenced one of my vids in an older episode (can't for the life of me remember the number or context. He just said "hookerbot" over and over)

Oh hey, serendipity!
Yes, I absolutely was referencing your video specifically. To elaborate, once upon a time there was a man named Bunky Bartlett. Bunky is a rather despicable human being, self-professed entrepreneur and WoW addict who suddenly found himself $27 million richer after winning the Mega Millions lottery. This life change gave him one great quest: Start a Kickstarter asking for an additional $1.1 million so he can build his own Second Life-style MMO called Your World. It was one of those game pitches where he was like
you can do literally anything, but he very much focused on the concept of "hookerbots": Sex workers who would exist in the game and rub their polygons aganst your polygons because that in some way was good. He talked about hookerbots a lot.
Here's a Polygon article about Bunky which also links to the "hookerbots" supercut.
One thing I've wanted to do for a while is to put together a little wiki on thefpl.us which explains really narrow references like this one. But I'd probably need help putting it together.
