Throwback: The Ariana Grande Conspiracy Iceberg

Are your favorite celebrities actually themselves...or have they been replaced by clones? This week I'm joined by Toni Bryanne for a deep dive into one of Hollywood's weirdest conspiracy theories...join us as we go completely off the rails. We're talking Avril Lavigne being replaced by Melissa, the bizarre theories surrounding Britney Spears' Instagram, Selena Gomez allegedly being a completely different person, and whether Kanye West has been cloned, replaced, or reprogrammed. Plus, we get into MK Ultra, celebrity handlers, the Illuminati, the uncanny valley, AI doubles, and the most wild theory involving Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and Kourtney Kardashian's son.

Is your boyfriend cheating on you with ChatGPT? Is Sam Altman trying to become God? And when was the last time you argued with someone online who was actually a real human being? This week I'm joined by award-winning journalist and tech expert Bridget Todd, author of the new audiobook Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy, to talk about all things AI, Silicon Valley, and the increasingly weird internet we're living on. We get into people falling in love with chatbots, whether having an AI girlfriend counts as cheating, why so many people are turning to ChatGPT for therapy and medical advice, and the tech billionaires who seem determined to insert themselves into every aspect of our lives. We also dive into Sam Altman's god complex, AI being treated like a religion, tech whistleblowers, online propaganda, and dead internet theory (because even Reddit can't be trusted anymore). Plus, we discuss why the internet used to be so much more fun, whether social media is officially dying, and what it would take to create an online space where we could actually talk to other human beings again.

Dancing With the Stars might be one big happy family…but it’s also one big dating pool! This week we’re going down the DWTS rabbit hole: which pros have dated each other, which celebrities hooked up with their partners, the Mormon-to-ballroom-dancer pipeline in Utah, and of course the blind items about dancing pros and celebrities from different seasons!

Why don’t you have a seat? This week, in honor of the new A24 movie with Robert Pattinson, we’re going down the entire "To Catch a Predator" rabbit hole - from how the Dateline series began and the wild lineup of people it caught, to the disturbing case that brought the show to an end. We’re also getting into the conspiracy theory that "To Catch a Predator" was getting a little too close to powerful people, Chris Hansen’s messy post-Dateline years, his battle with YouTuber Onision, and if there's a smear campaign directed at Chris Hansen as of late.

Fluently Fixed is back with more morally dubious advice that will never involve me telling you to meditate or go for a walk! This week, we’re fixing an ADHD morning routine, figuring out what couples can actually do together at home besides watching TV, dealing with the “anything works for me!” people pleasers who make you plan everything, and hacking corporate America when you work your ass off but keep getting passed over for promotions.
