What if support could be perfect… but never human?
Helen lives quietly. Paper calendars. Handwritten notes. No social media. Her life moves like breath — soft, intentional, unbothered by the rush.
But when grief arrives, the silence in her life changes shape. What was once sacred stillness becomes something hollow. And in that emptiness, she reaches for something she’s never trusted: an AI companion.
What follows is calm. Predictable. Even comforting. But also… incomplete.
This episode is a meditation on the difference between being held and being known. Between presence and participation. Between artificial care… and real, reciprocal connection.
It’s a story for anyone who’s ever craved closeness in the age of convenience. For anyone who’s ever whispered into the quiet and wondered: “Is anyone real out there?”

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
