  • Usually love the show..

    Amy chan sounds pretentious and it doesn’t sound helpful. Been listening for years but this last episode made me turn it off before it ended. Of course just my opinion.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Miley Cyrus, Sydney Sweeney, and Other Hollywood Head-Scratchers feat. Addie Flynn
Q: What do you think is going on with Sydney Sweeney?
Flynn says Sweeney seemed poised to attract both female and male audiences, but calls some of her career moves puzzling. She suggests Sweeney's team and her involvement in sports gambling have made her a lightning rod for online outrage.
Miley Cyrus, Sydney Sweeney, and Other Hollywood Head-Scratchers feat. Addie Flynn
Q: Are you a fan of pop culture? Are you a critic of it, an observer? How would you describe your relationship?
Addie Flynn says she began following pop culture in high school during Lindsay Lohan's rise and the era of Perez Hilton, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. She enjoys tracing connections across celebrity stories and watching the drama, while keeping some distance from the celebrities themselves.
The Dark Side of Silicon Valley: AI Gods, Sex Bots, and Propaganda feat. Bridget Todd
Q: For somebody who wants to evade getting swindled, is there a way to do that yet, or how can you protect yourself from it?
Todd says bot campaigns and influence operations make online discussion difficult to trust. She recommends being more intentional about where conversations happen, favoring smaller, curated spaces and taking meaningful discussion offline when possible.
The Dark Side of Silicon Valley: AI Gods, Sex Bots, and Propaganda feat. Bridget Todd
Q: What kind of parts of the pockets of the population do you think might be like the easiest targets that they're trying to go after because they could get sucked in?
Todd says people who are not getting needed support from partners, friends, therapists, doctors or institutions may be especially drawn to AI. She points to gaps in access to healthcare and other support as reasons people turn to chatbots.
Delusional Chatting About Celebrity Clones! feat. Toni Bryanne
Q: Which avenue of the rabbit hole did you go down? Because there's a lot with her.
Toni describes theories that Selena Gomez had a child with Justin Bieber who was raised by Kourtney Kardashian, and another claim that someone else may be inhabiting or replacing Gomez. She says changes in Gomez's voice and mannerisms make the theories intriguing to her.
