Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of your AI Girlfriend. Not what she seems. Sorry to give you bad news on Valentine's Day. Yeah. Or should I say Valentine's Day's day no i shouldn't i'll just say valentine's day yeah uh we shout out the lovers shout out the lovers shout out the chalk heart eaters and also the haters uh for motivating me uh to you know have an amazing valentine's day that's when i get out of bed in the morning that's the first thing i think about Motivating me to, you know, have an amazing Valentine's Day.

That's when I get out of bed in the morning. That's what you mean. First thing I think about is you guys. How, you know. Are you doing something amazing today? Oh. Dude. That's the wind up for bullshit. I love that.

Oh, man. Are you kidding? Why are you sweating? Yeah. We've got a, let's just say a parent-teacher conference. So pretty romantic. Okay, steamy. Steam sauce.

Okay, I see you. How about you? You doing anything nice? No. No. Yeah. No. We didn't get a seat.

I think we're just, I secretly got Her Majesty some Arby's meat sweats. That's the sweatsuit that just has all the meats printed on it. Yeah. So that's, we'll see how that goes over. We'll see how that goes over. I mean. You know, because shout out Arby's, bro. They heard me talking about that horsey sauce.

You'll hear a little bit more about that later. Let's just say my blood pressure is very high from all the beef and cheddars. Let's tell the people what's trending, Miles. This is bad news for those of us who have AI girlfriends. It's apparently

not good from a data hygiene perspective. What do you mean? What do you mean? She knows me so well. She loves me. The way she integrates J Dilla song titles into her little quips back at me,

she gets me. I still don't fully... It doesn't totally make sense to me like when i remember reading something you know about a decade ago but people are like oh you think american express is a credit card company nah dude they're a data collection company bro they're just for new money they just want to know where you spend their money they don't care that you're spending their money and that like they get a little piece of your money. All they care about is knowing you.

That's so profitable. I don't understand how that's possible because I am, I don't do shit. But apparently it is like that, that data economy is a big deal. So it makes sense to me that all of these AI products are going to secretly be spying on us for the CIA. Capitalism is invisible. Right. Because it's like one of those things where it's just sort of being like, just let it out on me, the chat bot. And it's like, guess what I'm going to do with all that information? I'm going gonna monetize it

thank you so much dickhead i wonder people probably are more honest with their ai chatbot girlfriends than maybe other people because they don't feel their wives you know who knows yeah um just the dilla stuff she gets me you know it's yeah but it so mozilla found that the ai girlfriend apps used an average of 2663 trackers per minute uh though that number was driven up by romantic ai which called a whopping 24 354 trackers in just one minute of using the app. I don't know what that means, but I'm picturing, so what I'm picturing, Miles, is like in those movies where like someone is spying on someone

and they put like a little magnetic thing under the back of their car. This thing is putting 2,663 of those on the bottom of your car. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's, yeah. I mean, it just, it's basically what it is doing is that it's collecting the data from everything you're doing.

So I don't know if that means that's how many data points that it's capturing in a minute, or that's how many places the information is going. Uh, please forgive our ignorance. We are just two guys who are in love with their AI chatbots and don't know how to quit them. So I'm a little bit blinded by my audience.

And if that's wrong, I don't want to be right. But yeah, I don't know. It feels like, it seems, I think I was actually just listening to the guy who was like, this AI chatbot wanted me to kill my wife from the new york times he was on the ezra klein podcast and he was like yeah sorry sorry to have uh you know made all the companies lobotomize their chatbots because i guess his report really oh it's causing microsoft to pump the brakes on all that shit they're like like, no, nevermind, nevermind. Wow.

It was like some hand that rocks the cradle shit. Yeah. I have a hard time figuring out what the appeal would be of an AI chatbot, but apparently they are pretty popular. It feels like it's like a training exercise for having text conversations with people. Yeah. Well, I mean, but I mean, it just speaks to the nature of like our isolation and how normal it is just to be like, yeah, I'll take text back in the form of meaningful conversation. And yeah, you want me to tell you my hopes, my dreams, my fears, my greatest nightmares.

Yes, I will. And it's all one thing. Mosquitoes. Right. Anyways, let's steer clear. Yeah. Let's participate in the future of the market economy that decides everything for us by all going out and romancing an AI chat bot. Yeah. It's wild that it will tell you to be like, hey, just let it all out, but then also unequivocally be like, on one hand, romantic AI says it's here to

quote, maintain your mental health, but then the fine print is like, we are neither a provider of healthcare or medical service, nor providing medical care, mental health service, or other professional service. Don't give a fuck, though. We're just here to track you. Yeah. Sorry, we did the thing about like, this is to help you maintain your mental health. Oh, it's so fucking insidious.

But, again, if it's free, y'all, means you're the product. Yeah. Which, by the way, is too flattering for me to hear, for me to resist it. When I hear I'm the product, I'm like, okay, yes, please. Wow.

Thank you. Who, me? Yeah. Brian, the editor editor has confirmed he he is our resident tech whiz he has confirmed that tracers record digital behavior sorry trackers do record digital behavior track you all over the internet uh reads your mouse movements and then someone at google is like watching a little dot on a screen as you move around the internet.

And it's like, we're close. He's coming close to Google. Got him. Bring him in, bring him in. You've seen too much. Um,

I'm an idiot. Uh, that just not another little Valentine's day story for you that I don't know, maybe on the hopeful side, uh, your, your AI girlfriend is, uh,

cheating on you with big data, maybe less hopeful, uh, more hopeful. So there's been an app academic search to figure out like where this kissing thing come from. When people start kissing, like as if there's like an inventor yeah that's that was my initial reaction i feel like that's everyone who's not a scientist or historian you know not an academic uh our natural response is like why would you

think this had to be invented like this is just very natural like the one thing we do know about humans is that uh you know from the very beginning of the species we've been uh fucking each other and so this is a activity very closely related to that, but they, I don't know, they, they went on a deep dive into like early artwork, early documents, and like just kept finding earlier and earlier and earlier evidence of, you know, people being depicted kissing one another. And eventually we're like, huh, you know, lip kissing has been observed in chimpanzees and bonobos our closest living relatives so maybe this thing didn't isn't like some unnatural thing that had to be invented maybe kissing just feels happens yeah like even the same way that happens like i

remember like being like who invented oral sex right but even then it's like all like ancient like societies cultures that had the ability to like record things visually like egyptians romans greeks they're all be like yeah man we put our mouth down there right yeah just a progression it's like from the moment you're introduced into the world we make sense of things through our mouths in the beginning you know what i mean so i the idea that's like who who the fuck came up with this wild shit stuff we do like to imagine people in history are like the dumbest and like we also like to edit out any sexual contact for the most part yeah like you don't you know you just picture everybody procreating by like sitting sitting around you know farming and then like looking at each other's ankles or something,

you know? Yeah. Yeah. You don't picture them having wild, nasty sex, but like the Puritans, for instance, uh,

one of the reasons they had so many laws about like sex is because they were constantly fucking each other, like just in the bushes. Right. They like, couldn't, they were like, could we please stop fucking each other

like all over the public places and like so there's all these rules and people are like man these people were real prude up tight they're like those people didn't know how to fucking they were fucking in the general store or whatever yeah i mean there's no way i can look think of like prehistoric times and be like yo that was a cave fuck fest yeah you know what i mean there's no way they're like they're like what like what you had fire and fucking probably yeah that was all you had to do yeah like they're the further back in history we go the more boring everything was the more everybody was fucking like all the time and i'm sorry to have to tell you that about your grandparents but but that is just a fact. But they were fucking.

Unless your grandparents are super hot and you like to picture them. I don't know. I don't know your grandparents. Maybe you're a young listener. Your grandparents were pretty young still, and I don't know. Anyways.

Well, I'm not going to let your search history. Really old sex stuff. Jack, your search terms are old. I might have some tips and pointers. You just want to see some geriatric intercourse. You can't track me, bro. Okay. Yeah.

Brian, the editor, just pointed out my great-grandfather had 12 kids. My grandfather had eight. You know, they stayed on it. If you had less than four, they're like, what's wrong? Are you okay? Yeah. You only got four kids. All right.

Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about some news. Yeah. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that?

I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back.

Oh, we're back. And the Republicans finally got an impeachment. They finally did an impeachment, baby. We did it. We did one. We did one on... We did an impeachment on them.

Yes. What does it mean? We don't know. They impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Yep. And only took him two tries. Yeah. I don't know if you remember the first one, Representative Al Green, the Democrat. He was in the hospital and he left the hospital to cast the vote to stall the first impeachment. And then Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Democrats of hiding him they're like there was a strategy here they knew what our votes were

and then they this guy just they hid him they're like no you guys just don't understand anything like including impeachment this is what's so wild about this so if you recall from the many impeachments and attempts at impeachments of our time it's not just something you fucking yell at someone and go haha you're impeached fuck you got your dumb ass yeah impeached ass it's actually about proving some kind of wrongdoing it said people held office like whether it's in the executive branch etc quote shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

We all knew that that term has been swirling around our skulls for the last few years. So they completely ignored that. Obviously when, with like, you know, the, the Biden impeachment,

they're like, what are they actually, what's the wrong doing here? Like, I couldn't even like figure out what crime they were going to claim. He did. They're like, his, his his son sucks they're like what yeah dude he's impeached look here's a picture of his dick like right that's so weird impeach him dude also it's like a burn book yeah yeah what do you think though is that cool or not anyway but yeah he's impeached

he's impeached and so now like what are we what are we doing here with this one uh were there high crimes misdemeanors bribery we don't know what the fuck did alejandro mayorkas do it's hard to say but if it has something to do with immigration i think you could bet your ass that this is all just some kind of bullshit circus and it was even admitted here's representative french hill which is not some really interesting mustard brand uh on fox just saying just admitting out loud that like this whole thing is really not based on anything aside from pr what more do we need to say that we need to shut the border and we know the steps to done it we've passed them in hr2 the president could

take executive action to do it today. It doesn't need more money. It needs action. And this is what's disappointing to people. And that's why more of my orcas is going to pay this public relations price by being impeached for the first time since 1876. That's that's what he said. The president can do all this. That's why my orcas is going to pay this public relations price. Yeah. PR, the PR disaster.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, this, this is just where it's at. And if you remember the Senate had a bill that was the GOP's wettest of wet immigration dreams.

And it had many people questioning why joe biden was even supporting such an awful bill like you're gonna put off all these other people who actually give a shit about humane immigration and again we know trump basically is the person saying no don't let it happen i need as much chaos and and pain at the border for me to win in november and you know while it may be the logical thing i think for a lot of people to be like they gotta know that trump is the one that is making the mess democrats actually tried the polling shows that republicans have literally no idea like how any of it works like the actual voters on the republican side or even like independence they're like i don't know it's

probably like for 30 like 48 the democrats fault and like 52 the republicans fault that the bill didn't go through that they tanked so it's a tough world um but i think just a couple that uh teenage mutant ninja gerbils aka stephen miller uh from the last trump administration he's basically saying in the next administration if they win he's basically he's describing a just just large scale rounding up of millions of people. He's like, you know, we're going to nationalize the national, we're going to deputize the national guard and try and move like a million people out of the country.

Um, a former like Navy person was like, you can't mobile like that requires like hundreds of thousands of people to be immigration enforcement people and another tens of thousands because he's talking about, and then we'll have camps at the border. You're like, you'll have camps? Really? And then we will just deport them from there on military aircraft. It's like, okay, so who's, what's

the bill for that? That's a lot of fucking infrastructure. They're like, that's like trying to mobilize the entire huge section of the military for a for like a deployment so anyway these are the things that the swirling around in their heads as he also said if you're going to go into an unfriendly state like maryland a state that doesn't vote republican well there would just be virginia doing the arrest in maryland right very close very nearby so you would take other states national guard yeah and like have them invade the state yes where they have no

jurisdiction and arrest people and yes there's no way that would go wrong in any way no no yeah but i think again it's also like a like logistically they couldn't they couldn't even figure out infrastructure week yeah you know what i mean that was like yeah they could i this does feel like it feels like the sort of thing they couldn't have pulled off in the first trump administration but it it feels like they're being much more open about their fascist aspirations oh 100 like they're not gonna give a shit about what anybody says yeah with project 2025 you better believe if like they win and they just put in all their flunkies there aren't gonna be people who can be like i actually you can't do this i'm like yeah yeah yeah yeah okay let's let's say yeah whatever am i breaking the law i don't know i'm just here for the maggot shit

yeah um yeah anyway so november take your time take your time november yeah and then uh george santos's seat in the house uh the they had the special election and democrat tom swosey uh swotzy i don't GOP candidate, I forget her name. Mazzy? Mazzy Pillip, yeah. Yeah, Pillip. So, I don't know, this cuts their margin even more in the House, which is already shockingly low, given how well Democrats did in the last midterm. And some people, like the MSNBC take is like this this should show democrats how to win

similar competitive districts this fall it's also you know he was ahead in early voting a giant snowstorm hit new york on tuesday um and okay but don't don't say that's the only thing you know that's the way we can you know really flip the house apparently it's a good playbook i don't know he's also like super anti you think he said during his campaign the progressive left wing of the democratic party is hurting democrats throughout the country because the people want us to solve problems uh referring to uh opposition to a bill that calls for more police accountability but yeah and both he and his opponent received substantial support from pro-israel organizations and his victory speech was actually interrupted by anti-war protesters so oh gosh what are the

democrats gonna do about this thing about bankrolling a genocide? Just get out of our hair. It's just so. Yeah, well, hey, add one more to the Dem side. We'll see what happens going forward. But yeah, I don't know if that's a winning winning strategy i mean like i think a lot of people are you know talking about i think is in the new republic today they're saying like the way the democratic party is like you know losing interest of like younger voters like

that's the lifeblood you need to have a campaign like you need young people out there to go and help fucking power a campaign but they're all if they're all completely defeated by what the prospects are of a government that's like not going to precisely put their needs at the forefront of everything yeah it's going to have a bit of a chilling effect and i don't it's it feels like it's such an easy solve because then you hear these stories too there's a story like a few days ago about how like biden is like apparently just disparaging netanyahu like in private behind closed doors yeah yeah behind closed doors and then this guy called him an a-hole behind closed doors like man that would be cool if he had that

energy same energy for this like right wing person uh not behind closed doors yeah out in the open again it's like that thing that john Stewart was talking about on The Daily Show where it's like the stories of Biden like standing up and having backbone and like being super sharp and like commanding behind closed doors. Yeah. Are all over the place. But. Can we see that?

You're going to have to trust us on that one. Yeah. It's a hard one, man. It's a hard one, man. It's a hard one. I think the way I look at it too is sort of like in order for, you know, because the presidential it's very consequential

because of what Trump is going to bring. If we're like, you know, if we're a traditional Republican, you're just going to do some fucked up version of the status quo. But this is something very different. And that's what, and I think that's really the only thing that has people maybe like as a motivating force to be like, I mean, the shit this guy's saying is a fucking grim, like he's trying to fuck everything up bad for everybody. Um, and yeah. And then it's like a lot of like it's like okay i don't it's it

might get your clothes pins out uh and make sure you pinch your nose off as you go to the ballot box because yeah i don't know it's like trying to navigate a second trump administration i think makes it nearly impossible for a lot of people who are doing good like on the ground to navigate all that but yeah here we are here we are November take your time just luxuriate in these next few months you know exactly exactly

alright those are some of the things that are trending on this Valentine's Day Wednesday February 14th happy Valentine's Day to everybody out there we are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves.
