Hey fellow loneliness destroyer, text me!

I cannot believe we are actually here. We’ve created an AI “friend” necklace...a device that listens to your conversations all day long and claims to make you feel less lonely. In this episode, I react to the viral Friend AI Pendant, the controversial million-dollar ad campaign, and why New Yorkers are literally vandalizing the subway ads in protest. But most importantly, I explain why this kind of technology isn’t the answer to loneliness, and how it’s about to make it worse.

When I first heard Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” I expected glitter, heartbreak, and spectacle, but what I didn’t expect were the friendship themes hiding in plain sight.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the hidden emotional truths in two of her songs, “Ruin the Friendship” and “Cancelled”, and how they reveal what so many of us wrestle with as adults: fear of rejection, vulnerability, and being truly known.
