In this episode of Bridgette Unfiltered, we’re diving deep into one of the biggest relationship trends of 2025: the rise of AI girlfriend apps and what it really says about men, women, and the emotional exhaustion we are all experiencing.
Why are men turning to virtual companionship? Why are women choosing silence and solo travel over swiping and settling?
And is it still possible to find real connection in this fickle world of digital validation and ghosting culture?
Bridgette shares her raw take on emotional intimacy, masculine burnout, the feminine glow up era, and how both sides are adapting (or avoiding) connection altogether.
This is the episode every man needs to hear and every woman will nod along to.

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.
