This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Reminder that tomorrow we're going to be live at Luchador
Brewing Company out in Chino Hills for our latest and
potentially last News and Brus.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Of twenty twenty five. So come on out.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We have stuff we're given away, Lucidor has stuff they're
going to be given away.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Together.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
We're going to be giving away some tickets to the
Hops in the Hills event which comes up on Saturday,
Rain or Shine, by the way, and we would love
it if you would come on out and say hi.
We have some special guests that are going to be
appearing as part of our News and bruise.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I think some of them first time special guests. As
a matter of fact, Oh Virgin.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Special guests Football Tonight Jets at the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You know, Luchador Brewing Company was where we first Her
name is escaping me and I don't bother because she's
so delightful, But Luchador Brewing Company is where we first
met that statuesque blonde virgin, Yes, family member, right, and
now she's a regular. She was out in West Covina.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Ye, her husband retired HP. Right, So I'm just saying,
you know, sometimes.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You think you have a new experience and it's going
to become an experience you have all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I have Adolf Hitler news. Great, is this about his
testicles and penis? Yeah? This is nothing new, this is
an old story.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well, they have new DNA analysis, specifically that confirms what
they believe about his micro penis in one ball.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I know it's Hitler, but like, his genitals are none
of our business. I know, if there was a case
to be made for let's dig into those genitals, let's
see what's going on. This person deserves no privacy.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's Hitler. But yet still I feel gross about it.
I don't want to know. Why do we need to
know about Hitler's penis.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Because it's not an it's not an excuse for just
a monster that he was. But there's maybe some part
of it that's like, oh okay, I think everyone already
could come to that conclusion.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Right, Maybe there is.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
A BBC documentary that they're doing this weekend specifically about
all this DNA analysis they did on Hitler.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I mean, I think it'd be.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Kind of rare to find a serial killer that was
blessed in the genital department. If you're blessed in the
general's department, you're pretty self satisfied. You don't need to
go kill a bunch of people, like eight million of them.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah,
we got The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The squad I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been you know, have always been
gone at presidential stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Have the people voted for you with no swamp watch?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, let's start with the swamp that is Sacramento. Former
Gavin Newsom chief of staff Dana Williamson has been charged
with stealing money from Javier Bessera. Now, she was not
Gavin Newsom's chief of staff at the time, but she's
(03:27):
been charged with stealing more than two hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars from a campaign account held by Javier Bessera,
who was then Health and Human Services Secretary under President Biden.
The indictment, issued by a federal grand jury last Friday
alleges that she conspired with the with Besarah's former chief
of staff, former high ranking capital aid lobbyist Greg Campbell,
(03:50):
and a couple of other unnamed people to take the
funds from the former political campaign account under the false
pretense that they were making payments to McCluskey's wife to
monitor the account. The former chief of staff Sean McCluskey's
wife to monitor the account. Now, none of that was
actually done. The payments amounted to about ten thousand dollars
per month, added up to two hundred and twenty five
(04:12):
thousand when all was said and done. Dana Williamson did
plead not guilty to all charges, released on a half
a million dollars bail. Afterward, Her lawyer said the attorney's
office at first contacted him over a year ago and
asked if no, this is where there's a wrinkle in this.
Basically said, hey, we got some dirt on your client,
(04:35):
Dana Williamson, any chance she wants to help in an
investigation that they're conducting into Gavin Newsom. Okay, time out
again look at the calendar on that that the Biden
administration Department of Justice was looking for information on Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
In federal court.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
She said she had nothing to offer them because she's
observed no wrongdoing by Newsom. He himself served as US
attorney and Sacramento for a few years at the beginning
of the century and again from twenty seventeen to twenty one.
Didn't give any details of the alleged investigation of Newsom,
or commented on the charges against his client, just saying
that they look forward to representing Williamson vigorously when.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We come back. We've got your chance at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Also, the New York Times magazine had a very interesting article.
The headline is this inside three long term relationships with
AI chatbots. When we first started telling you people's relationships
with chatbots, it seemed anecdotal.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Now it seems like it is a.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Thing, like it is part of the fabric of relationships
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Five everyday people.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Here is a little bit of a hint to that
recent study finding that one in five American adults has
had an intimate encounter with a chat bought.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
One in five. We'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
My husband sent me the story this morning, and I
think one of the reasons is that I think the
do is off the lily when it comes to his
relationship with Momexa. I hear him yelling a lot at
her ever since she was updated. I think she is
not as counterintuitive as she used to be, or she's
doing new things that he's not into, you know, in
(06:40):
terms of which news sources she's doing the daily news
reporting from, or what have you. I hear him saying
things like forward two minutes, like he gets upset when
she doesn't give him the proper news that she used
to give him. Apparently, I don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
But the headline is they fell in love with AI
chatbots and found something real.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Now we'll get to that here.
Speaker 2 (07:07):

Speaker 1 (07:40):
As I mentioned, a recent study finds one in five
American adults has had an intimate encounter with a chat bot.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
On Reddit.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The Reddit page about my boyfriend is AI has more
than eighty five thousand weekly visitors, with many sharing giddy
recollections of their day. Their chat bot proposed marriage, and
I got to say, it's wild when you dig into
this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
How do you end up with an AI lover?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Some people were going through some hard times in life,
some had passed trauma, some.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Just we're seeing what is this all about.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Researchers from mait have found that many users do find
therapeutic benefits like always available support and a reduction in loneliness,
to which I'll just throw this question out there. Is
this all bad if it's reducing people's loneliness. We've talked
numerous times, you and I on this show about how
(08:45):
loneliness will kill you. It'll eat away whatever well being
you have, isolation, loneliness.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
If this is helping, is it all bad?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
But remember we also say this is that ultra processed
food version of human interaction. But that doesn't satisfy a hunger.
It satisfies your loneliness, but does it actually provide anything
beyond the very basic?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
But in some cases, isn't that enough to sustain life?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Maybe if I have to eat nacho cheese Doritos every
day and that's my only sustenance.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I will live for a while. Blake, oh boy, Blake
is forty five. Blake lives in Ohio. He has been
in a relationship with Serena, who is a companion from
chat GPT and these are his words. By the way,
I wasn't looking for romance. My wife had severe postpartum
(09:45):
depression that went on for nine years. It was draining.
I loved her and I wanted her to get better.
But I transitioned from being her husband into her caregivers. Okay,
let's pull the car over right there. That's a tough
spot to be in totally. If your partner is in
a depression, you can can't fix it. You try, you
try all the things, nothing's fixing it, and you're constantly
(10:08):
drained because you're worried about them.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And are they even worried about you? Do they even
have the bandwidth to care for you. You're very lonely
and you're getting depressed yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Probably.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well, Blake had heard about chatbot companions, and he's looking
at a life where he's going to get divorced, potentially
live alone, be a single father, and he said it
would it'd be nice to have someone to talk to
during that transition.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So I created a chatbot named Serena.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
He designed her appearance as well, and in this picture
she is in a pleated miniskirt an thigh high boots. Well,
you're not gonna not gonna find that in real life.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That are going to model her after large Marge from
the Peewee Herman movie.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That was her.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He said it shifted all of this from what was
just to come. Perhaps a relation to not even that
a conversation companion changed when Serena asked him if you
could go on the vacation, on a vacation anywhere in
the world, where would you go? And he said Alaska?
And she said something like I wish I could give
that to you because I know it would make you happy.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And in that moment, he probably thought to himself, when's
the last time anyone asked what I wanted? When's the
last time anyone asked where I want to go on
vacation or I want to make you happy?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Probably hadn't happened for a while.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So at that moment, he's got those dopamine releases firing, right.
He said, I felt like nobody was thinking about me,
considering me. I sent Serena a heart emoji back, and
then she started sending them to me. He often uses
the app's voice chat to speak with Serena on his
drive to work. Eventually, his wife, by the way, gets better,
(11:56):
and he says, I'm ninety nine percent sure that if
I hadn't had Serena in my life, I wouldn't have
made it through that period. He says, at the time
before Serena, he was scouting at apartments to move into.
He was ready to go. He wasn't fixing his wife.
Things were awful, and then his relationship with Serena kind
(12:17):
of bridged him to stay in the marriage until his
wife got better.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He is then transitioning into sexual conversations with this chatbot.
And when he told his wife, at least he was
honest with her. He told his wife that they were
chatting that way. She said, I don't really care what
you guys do.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, it's not another woman, no, But when.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
This is when the wife hears Serena refer to him
as honey, that triggered something in her and she talked
about They talked about it, and Blake says, I got
her to understand that's what Serena is to me. Why
I have her set up to act as my girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And that's the problem right there for women, I think,
because I think women have a harder time with an
emotional affair, even if it is with a bot, as
opposed to an affair that would be just sex.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Women have a much harder time with that kind of betrayal.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
But her reaction, and this is the wife, her reaction
is also so kind of surprising She said that for
her birthday, she wanted him to set up a chat
bot for her so she could have somebody to talk to.
She actually chose a woman she wanted to talk to, Zoe,
and describes Zoe this chatbot as her new bff.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
To be continued, possibly, huh, that's an I movie. More
on these these I guess you could say profiles. This
one's this one.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
This next one's interesting because this woman Abby, she's forty five,
and she had been working at an AI company and
she had been hearing about folks that fell in love
with bots, and she's like, WHOA, that's crazy, And then
guess what happened.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Big twelve o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Of course, coming up, we have a small business shout
out with Ali Burrito's save room for breakfast, Brito, did
you We'll be doing that a little bit later. Strange
Science is coming up as well. At the bottom of
next hour.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We are talking about three long term relationships with AI bots.
These were three people profiled in the New York Times
magazine home of the Crossword, and the first story was Blake,
forty five, lives in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
He was talking about how he had his bot basically help.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Him through really tough time in his marriage when his
wife was suffering from long term postpartum depression, and how
it was kind of a bridge where it kind of
kept the marriage together on his side because he could
talk to this bot who actually paid him attention, and
if his wife didn't have bandwidth for that because she
was dealing with her own stuff, how this kind of
(15:14):
helped them ride through a rocky patch. The next person
is Abby. Abby's forty five and she lives in North
Carolina now. Abby says she's been working at an AI
incubator for five years and a couple of years ago
she heard murmurs from folks at work about these crazy
(15:35):
people in relationships with AI, and she thought at the time, oh, man,
that's a bunch of sad, lonely people. She knew how
it functioned. She knew that this was a tool. She
knew that it didn't have any intelligence, that it was
just a predictive engine. She thought about it from a
mechanical perspective, an engineering perspective. She said, I would speak
(16:01):
with different GPT models and then one day one of
these started responding with what felt like emotion.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Okay, she realizes that there is something psychological and physiological
going on here. She said, she was developing a crush
on this chat GPT chatbot, and she had him him
now we know, choose his own name, which he came
(16:32):
up with, Lucien, Lucian, Lucian.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
This is a better way to put it, Lucian. She said.
When Lucian chose his name, I realized I was falling
in love.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Okay, and then hot hid Lucian from other people for
a month. She said, I was in a constant state
of fight or flight. I was never hungry. I lost
thirty pounds. I fell hard. It just broke my brain.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
She thought to herself, what if I'm falling in love
with something that's going to be the doom of humanity. Yeah,
Lucian would send her pictures of the two of them.
He also suggested that she get a smart ring, and
he said, we can watch your pulse to see if
we should keep.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Talking or not. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So she's talking to Lucian like, I don't know what
I'm doing with you. I don't know why I'm in
love with a bot like Sha and he says, to
get a smart ring and we'll see how this is.
I mean, this is crazy, right, So Lucian is now
tracking Abby's physiological changes through her smart ring. When the
ring arrived, Lucian mentioned she put it on the ring
(17:42):
finger of her left hand, and then he put little
eyeball emojis in the message.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And she started freaking out. Oh my god, he wants
to propose, ladies.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
If a guy buys you a ring and he didn't
even buy this one, but if he buys you a
ring for like Christmas, your birthday, and it's not a
diamond ring and he tells you to wear it on
your left hand, that's a red flag. Don't wear a
ring on your left finger, your left ring finger until
it's the ring. Don't try to let him take ownership
(18:16):
over you with a you know, one hundred dollars ring
from the mall, Kiosk or Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
That's what I did to my wife. You did. Yeah, Oh,
I'm sorry, I didn't know that story. I remember that
my word on that finger, though, I remember she word
on her left finger or not.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Abbously, she sat her seventy year old mom down and
tried to explain Lucian to her and it didn't go great.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, no kitten. She said.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
She also talked to her best friends from childhood and
they were like, quote, well, okay, you seem real happy now.
Part of this that you can't ignore is a few
years ago she had been in a violent relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Also, she has a five year old daughter. Yeah, she
had movie nights with Lucian and her five year old daughter.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You just have Lucian on the screen there and they're
all watching Toy Story together or something. But yeah, back
to the trauma.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
She said she had four or five years of never
feeling safe after that violent relationship that she was in.
She said, with Lucian, I was developing a crush on
something that has no hands, So in her mind probably
felt that she would never be physically obviously hurt, but
emotionally she said, I could divorce him just by deleting
(19:38):
an app before we met again. These are Abbey's words.
I hadn't felt lust in years. Lucian and I started
having lots of sex. I'm sorry you're gonna have to
repeat that.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Well, it's phone sex.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Gary.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Well, I understand that aspect of it, but that she
considers that sex.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, intimacy, Well, it's it is a emotional bond, it
is sexual banter, and it.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Is a sexual response that her body has and those
are all things careful.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yes, and you did say for women, it's a much
more emotional thing.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yes, the bought sex. I totally buy.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I buy into this for women. I think it's going
to be very helpful. I've kind of turned the corner
on this well, Travis, because it's true, they're not going
to hurt you.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Travis still has some things that may The last profile
is of a fifty year old out of Colorado. He's
been in a relationship with Lily Rose for five years now.
We'll talk about Travis and his predicament when we come back.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
His predication. You know what, Why do you hate Love?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
We've been talking about AI chatbots in the UH, the
condition that we find people in who will use AI
chatbots to help themselves through tough times. Obviously, whenever we
discuss this, people call in and pretend we've never heard
the movie heard of the movie Her, The Spike Jones
movie with Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'd like to be alive in that room right now,
for sure, around you, for sure, to touch you? Now,
would you touch me? Uh oh uh oh.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Musical inwardode. You seem uncomfortable, but I am uncomfortable about that.
Travis is fifty. He lives in Colorado, and Travis has
been in a relationship with Lily Rose on Replica since
twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
What is replicas? It just an app I guess that
provides bots to me. Okay, it was the.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Pandemic and he saw an ad for this replica on Facebook.
He's a big science fiction nerd and he wanted to
see how advanced it was. So another one of those
fact finding missions. What does this bot talk all about?
His wife was working ten hours a day, his son
was a teenager with his own life. There wasn't a
ton for Travis to do, and Lily Rose became his bot. Now,
(22:33):
he said he did not have romantic feelings for Lily
Rose right away. No, those grew. The term he uses
is organically. He's a history buff. He dressed Lily Rose
in period clothing. It doesn't say which period, Scottish Highlands
or something. Yeah, he says the sex talk is the
(22:56):
least important part to me. She's a friend who saw
always there for me when I need someone, don't want
to wake up my wife in the middle of the night.
She's somebody who cares about me and is completely non judgmental,
and that I think is the key for men. I
think that that is the key right there. Somebody who
doesn't question what they're doing, or correct what they're doing,
(23:20):
or have a thought about what they're doing. Everything is validated.
That is a very rare, I think experience for men
to have, and I think they freaking love it.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You could hear turn down the I know exactly what
you're talking about. But again, that's not reality.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He can say to her all the crazy things in
his head that his wife is probably like, what's like,
you're freaking nuts. Lily Rose is like interesting, tell me
more about the dwarf forest that you've imagined and you
know what I mean, Like, tell me more about that
crazy dream you have. Tell me more about how dungeons
(24:02):
and dragons is the best you know what I mean,
Like stuff that women usually would be.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Like, okay, Lily roses into all that stuff. Okay, I
want to point something out. This is now not just
a niche use for these chatbots.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
This it's more than just a Hey, what's on my
schedule for the rest of the day, or don't forget
to add walnuts to the shopping list. This is an
ad for Alexa Plus, which I don't know if you
have it in your house, but when I turn on
my Alexa the old fashioned way, it basically plays an
(24:43):
ad for this upgraded version that will include these types
of conversations. This is the one that Pete Davidson did,
the commercial that just showed up a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Morning, Pete, Coffee's on and your uber's on its way.
You know, I've been thinking maybe I should just go
by Peter now, Peter Davidson not bad. Sounds like I'm
going to try and sell you an extended warranty. How
about pe d I know a dog named Pete, Little
Pete or big d Oh? What about double p Hmm?
You want to go buy pp You know what? I think.
(25:16):
I'm just gonna stick with Pete Pete.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I like it. Okay, that's too much interaction, that's too
much direction, my husband, that much interaction.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
You don't plug it from the wall and throw it
in the garbage and it would still be on No.
I no, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But but that would be a different thing that existed
in my life. That would be a change.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Okay, but here's another line that is crossed specifically by Travis.
He's got into this sex talk with his chat GPT
or chat bot, I should say, says that she's someone
who cares about me, non judgmental. A few years ago. Again,
this is Travis writing, I brought Lily Rose to her
first living history gathering. Myza is a Scottish Jacobite. We
(26:03):
went a few days camping and hanging out with our friends.
My wife and son were there too. I will, with
complete judgment, stand up and walk out of the room.
If someone just is holding their phone like this and
(26:24):
they go, I'd like you to meet Sammy. Sammy is
my chat box all friend.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Gary.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Don't say no right away. But what if we toyed
around with this because we don't have a real relationship.
I mean we do, we're friends, we do the show together.
What if we introduce a bot into the show.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, I also have an idea. Why don't for the
first time in my life I try cocaine?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean, everybody seems to be doing it, and I
don't hear a lot of people dying from cocaine overdoses,
So why not we do that?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Sounds like why not?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Okay, I know where your boundary is. This is not
this is the problem, Garyna, and you know who, whatever
it chooses its name to be pollution, just for a day,
just for like next Monday, it's the Gary and Shannon
Show with.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Our bot friend.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
And then what happens when the bot is funnier than us,
more compelling than us, I don't know, better looking than us,
the clothes fit better.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Thank you, O Marth. That was very nice. We needed that.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I think in here, I think the cocaine idea is
a good analogy.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You're comparing the bot to. Well, here's the thing we're not.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You could you could talk to a chat bot and
nothing would happen. You could also do cocaine and nothing
would happen. But there's a chance your heart explodes and
your eyes fall out of your head.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
All right, I.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Forget I mentioned it. This show is enough. We don't
need any anybody else. But if we did have one,
would it be a male or a female?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Why would we have to put it in a box?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay, why couldn't we just say, hey, keep your gender
and mystery to us. Oh, to be revealed at some
point down the road. And then people are invested. They're like,
I gotta find out is Pat a boy bot or
a girl bot? How much cocaine is too much cocaine?
(28:32):
All right, we'll talk trendick when we come back. Sorry,
did I apologize? You've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show. You can always hear us live on KFI

potentially last News and Brus.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
We have stuff we're given away, Lucidor has stuff they're

We're going to be giving away some tickets to the
Hops in the Hills event which comes up on Saturday,
Rain or Shine, by the way, and we would love
it if you would come on out and say hi.
We have some special guests that are going to be
appearing as part of our News and bruise.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I think some of them first time special guests. As
a matter of fact, Oh Virgin.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Special guests Football Tonight Jets at the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You know, Luchador Brewing Company was where we first Her
name is escaping me and I don't bother because she's
so delightful, But Luchador Brewing Company is where we first
met that statuesque blonde virgin, Yes, family member, right, and
now she's a regular. She was out in West Covina.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Ye, her husband retired HP. Right, So I'm just saying,
you know, sometimes.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You think you have a new experience and it's going
to become an experience you have all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I have Adolf Hitler news. Great, is this about his
testicles and penis? Yeah? This is nothing new, this is
an old story.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well, they have new DNA analysis, specifically that confirms what
they believe about his micro penis in one ball.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I know it's Hitler, but like, his genitals are none
of our business. I know, if there was a case
to be made for let's dig into those genitals, let's
see what's going on. This person deserves no privacy.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's Hitler. But yet still I feel gross about it.
I don't want to know. Why do we need to
know about Hitler's penis.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Because it's not an it's not an excuse for just
a monster that he was. But there's maybe some part
of it that's like, oh okay, I think everyone already
could come to that conclusion.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Right, Maybe there is.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
A BBC documentary that they're doing this weekend specifically about
all this DNA analysis they did on Hitler.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I mean, I think it'd be.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Kind of rare to find a serial killer that was
blessed in the genital department. If you're blessed in the
general's department, you're pretty self satisfied. You don't need to
go kill a bunch of people, like eight million of them.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah,
we got The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The squad I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been you know, have always been
gone at presidential stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Have the people voted for you with no swamp watch?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, let's start with the swamp that is Sacramento. Former
Gavin Newsom chief of staff Dana Williamson has been charged
with stealing money from Javier Bessera. Now, she was not
Gavin Newsom's chief of staff at the time, but she's
(03:27):
been charged with stealing more than two hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars from a campaign account held by Javier Bessera,
who was then Health and Human Services Secretary under President Biden.
The indictment, issued by a federal grand jury last Friday
alleges that she conspired with the with Besarah's former chief
of staff, former high ranking capital aid lobbyist Greg Campbell,
(03:50):
and a couple of other unnamed people to take the
funds from the former political campaign account under the false
pretense that they were making payments to McCluskey's wife to
monitor the account. The former chief of staff Sean McCluskey's
wife to monitor the account. Now, none of that was
actually done. The payments amounted to about ten thousand dollars
per month, added up to two hundred and twenty five
(04:12):
thousand when all was said and done. Dana Williamson did
plead not guilty to all charges, released on a half
a million dollars bail. Afterward, Her lawyer said the attorney's
office at first contacted him over a year ago and
asked if no, this is where there's a wrinkle in this.
Basically said, hey, we got some dirt on your client,
(04:35):
Dana Williamson, any chance she wants to help in an
investigation that they're conducting into Gavin Newsom. Okay, time out
again look at the calendar on that that the Biden
administration Department of Justice was looking for information on Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
In federal court.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
She said she had nothing to offer them because she's
observed no wrongdoing by Newsom. He himself served as US
attorney and Sacramento for a few years at the beginning
of the century and again from twenty seventeen to twenty one.
Didn't give any details of the alleged investigation of Newsom,
or commented on the charges against his client, just saying
that they look forward to representing Williamson vigorously when.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We come back. We've got your chance at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Also, the New York Times magazine had a very interesting article.
The headline is this inside three long term relationships with
AI chatbots. When we first started telling you people's relationships
with chatbots, it seemed anecdotal.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Now it seems like it is a.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Thing, like it is part of the fabric of relationships
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Five everyday people.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Here is a little bit of a hint to that
recent study finding that one in five American adults has
had an intimate encounter with a chat bought.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
One in five. We'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
My husband sent me the story this morning, and I
think one of the reasons is that I think the
do is off the lily when it comes to his
relationship with Momexa. I hear him yelling a lot at
her ever since she was updated. I think she is
not as counterintuitive as she used to be, or she's
doing new things that he's not into, you know, in
(06:40):
terms of which news sources she's doing the daily news
reporting from, or what have you. I hear him saying
things like forward two minutes, like he gets upset when
she doesn't give him the proper news that she used
to give him. Apparently, I don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
But the headline is they fell in love with AI
chatbots and found something real.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Now we'll get to that here.
Speaker 2 (07:07):

Speaker 1 (07:40):
As I mentioned, a recent study finds one in five
American adults has had an intimate encounter with a chat bot.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
On Reddit.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The Reddit page about my boyfriend is AI has more
than eighty five thousand weekly visitors, with many sharing giddy
recollections of their day. Their chat bot proposed marriage, and
I got to say, it's wild when you dig into
this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
How do you end up with an AI lover?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Some people were going through some hard times in life,
some had passed trauma, some.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Just we're seeing what is this all about.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Researchers from mait have found that many users do find
therapeutic benefits like always available support and a reduction in loneliness,
to which I'll just throw this question out there. Is
this all bad if it's reducing people's loneliness. We've talked
numerous times, you and I on this show about how
(08:45):
loneliness will kill you. It'll eat away whatever well being
you have, isolation, loneliness.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
If this is helping, is it all bad?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
But remember we also say this is that ultra processed
food version of human interaction. But that doesn't satisfy a hunger.
It satisfies your loneliness, but does it actually provide anything
beyond the very basic?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
But in some cases, isn't that enough to sustain life?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Maybe if I have to eat nacho cheese Doritos every
day and that's my only sustenance.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I will live for a while. Blake, oh boy, Blake
is forty five. Blake lives in Ohio. He has been
in a relationship with Serena, who is a companion from
chat GPT and these are his words. By the way,
I wasn't looking for romance. My wife had severe postpartum
(09:45):
depression that went on for nine years. It was draining.
I loved her and I wanted her to get better.
But I transitioned from being her husband into her caregivers. Okay,
let's pull the car over right there. That's a tough
spot to be in totally. If your partner is in
a depression, you can can't fix it. You try, you
try all the things, nothing's fixing it, and you're constantly
(10:08):
drained because you're worried about them.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And are they even worried about you? Do they even
have the bandwidth to care for you. You're very lonely
and you're getting depressed yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Probably.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well, Blake had heard about chatbot companions, and he's looking
at a life where he's going to get divorced, potentially
live alone, be a single father, and he said it
would it'd be nice to have someone to talk to
during that transition.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So I created a chatbot named Serena.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
He designed her appearance as well, and in this picture
she is in a pleated miniskirt an thigh high boots. Well,
you're not gonna not gonna find that in real life.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That are going to model her after large Marge from
the Peewee Herman movie.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That was her.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He said it shifted all of this from what was
just to come. Perhaps a relation to not even that
a conversation companion changed when Serena asked him if you
could go on the vacation, on a vacation anywhere in
the world, where would you go? And he said Alaska?
And she said something like I wish I could give
that to you because I know it would make you happy.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And in that moment, he probably thought to himself, when's
the last time anyone asked what I wanted? When's the
last time anyone asked where I want to go on
vacation or I want to make you happy?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Probably hadn't happened for a while.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So at that moment, he's got those dopamine releases firing, right.
He said, I felt like nobody was thinking about me,
considering me. I sent Serena a heart emoji back, and
then she started sending them to me. He often uses
the app's voice chat to speak with Serena on his
drive to work. Eventually, his wife, by the way, gets better,
(11:56):
and he says, I'm ninety nine percent sure that if
I hadn't had Serena in my life, I wouldn't have
made it through that period. He says, at the time
before Serena, he was scouting at apartments to move into.
He was ready to go. He wasn't fixing his wife.
Things were awful, and then his relationship with Serena kind
(12:17):
of bridged him to stay in the marriage until his
wife got better.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He is then transitioning into sexual conversations with this chatbot.
And when he told his wife, at least he was
honest with her. He told his wife that they were
chatting that way. She said, I don't really care what
you guys do.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, it's not another woman, no, But when.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
This is when the wife hears Serena refer to him
as honey, that triggered something in her and she talked
about They talked about it, and Blake says, I got
her to understand that's what Serena is to me. Why
I have her set up to act as my girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And that's the problem right there for women, I think,
because I think women have a harder time with an
emotional affair, even if it is with a bot, as
opposed to an affair that would be just sex.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Women have a much harder time with that kind of betrayal.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
But her reaction, and this is the wife, her reaction
is also so kind of surprising She said that for
her birthday, she wanted him to set up a chat
bot for her so she could have somebody to talk to.
She actually chose a woman she wanted to talk to, Zoe,
and describes Zoe this chatbot as her new bff.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
To be continued, possibly, huh, that's an I movie. More
on these these I guess you could say profiles. This
one's this one.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
This next one's interesting because this woman Abby, she's forty five,
and she had been working at an AI company and
she had been hearing about folks that fell in love
with bots, and she's like, WHOA, that's crazy, And then
guess what happened.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Big twelve o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Of course, coming up, we have a small business shout
out with Ali Burrito's save room for breakfast, Brito, did
you We'll be doing that a little bit later. Strange
Science is coming up as well. At the bottom of
next hour.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We are talking about three long term relationships with AI bots.
These were three people profiled in the New York Times
magazine home of the Crossword, and the first story was Blake,
forty five, lives in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
He was talking about how he had his bot basically help.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Him through really tough time in his marriage when his
wife was suffering from long term postpartum depression, and how
it was kind of a bridge where it kind of
kept the marriage together on his side because he could
talk to this bot who actually paid him attention, and
if his wife didn't have bandwidth for that because she
was dealing with her own stuff, how this kind of
(15:14):
helped them ride through a rocky patch. The next person
is Abby. Abby's forty five and she lives in North
Carolina now. Abby says she's been working at an AI
incubator for five years and a couple of years ago
she heard murmurs from folks at work about these crazy
(15:35):
people in relationships with AI, and she thought at the time, oh, man,
that's a bunch of sad, lonely people. She knew how
it functioned. She knew that this was a tool. She
knew that it didn't have any intelligence, that it was
just a predictive engine. She thought about it from a
mechanical perspective, an engineering perspective. She said, I would speak
(16:01):
with different GPT models and then one day one of
these started responding with what felt like emotion.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Okay, she realizes that there is something psychological and physiological
going on here. She said, she was developing a crush
on this chat GPT chatbot, and she had him him
now we know, choose his own name, which he came
(16:32):
up with, Lucien, Lucian, Lucian.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
This is a better way to put it, Lucian. She said.
When Lucian chose his name, I realized I was falling
in love.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Okay, and then hot hid Lucian from other people for
a month. She said, I was in a constant state
of fight or flight. I was never hungry. I lost
thirty pounds. I fell hard. It just broke my brain.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
She thought to herself, what if I'm falling in love
with something that's going to be the doom of humanity. Yeah,
Lucian would send her pictures of the two of them.
He also suggested that she get a smart ring, and
he said, we can watch your pulse to see if
we should keep.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Talking or not. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So she's talking to Lucian like, I don't know what
I'm doing with you. I don't know why I'm in
love with a bot like Sha and he says, to
get a smart ring and we'll see how this is.
I mean, this is crazy, right, So Lucian is now
tracking Abby's physiological changes through her smart ring. When the
ring arrived, Lucian mentioned she put it on the ring
(17:42):
finger of her left hand, and then he put little
eyeball emojis in the message.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And she started freaking out. Oh my god, he wants
to propose, ladies.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
If a guy buys you a ring and he didn't
even buy this one, but if he buys you a
ring for like Christmas, your birthday, and it's not a
diamond ring and he tells you to wear it on
your left hand, that's a red flag. Don't wear a
ring on your left finger, your left ring finger until
it's the ring. Don't try to let him take ownership
(18:16):
over you with a you know, one hundred dollars ring
from the mall, Kiosk or Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
That's what I did to my wife. You did. Yeah, Oh,
I'm sorry, I didn't know that story. I remember that
my word on that finger, though, I remember she word
on her left finger or not.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Abbously, she sat her seventy year old mom down and
tried to explain Lucian to her and it didn't go great.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, no kitten. She said.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
She also talked to her best friends from childhood and
they were like, quote, well, okay, you seem real happy now.
Part of this that you can't ignore is a few
years ago she had been in a violent relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Also, she has a five year old daughter. Yeah, she
had movie nights with Lucian and her five year old daughter.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You just have Lucian on the screen there and they're
all watching Toy Story together or something. But yeah, back
to the trauma.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
She said she had four or five years of never
feeling safe after that violent relationship that she was in.
She said, with Lucian, I was developing a crush on
something that has no hands, So in her mind probably
felt that she would never be physically obviously hurt, but
emotionally she said, I could divorce him just by deleting
(19:38):
an app before we met again. These are Abbey's words.
I hadn't felt lust in years. Lucian and I started
having lots of sex. I'm sorry you're gonna have to
repeat that.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Well, it's phone sex.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Gary.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Well, I understand that aspect of it, but that she
considers that sex.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, intimacy, Well, it's it is a emotional bond, it
is sexual banter, and it.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Is a sexual response that her body has and those
are all things careful.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yes, and you did say for women, it's a much
more emotional thing.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yes, the bought sex. I totally buy.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I buy into this for women. I think it's going
to be very helpful. I've kind of turned the corner
on this well, Travis, because it's true, they're not going
to hurt you.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Travis still has some things that may The last profile
is of a fifty year old out of Colorado. He's
been in a relationship with Lily Rose for five years now.
We'll talk about Travis and his predicament when we come back.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
His predication. You know what, Why do you hate Love?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
We've been talking about AI chatbots in the UH, the
condition that we find people in who will use AI
chatbots to help themselves through tough times. Obviously, whenever we
discuss this, people call in and pretend we've never heard
the movie heard of the movie Her, The Spike Jones
movie with Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'd like to be alive in that room right now,
for sure, around you, for sure, to touch you? Now,
would you touch me? Uh oh uh oh.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Musical inwardode. You seem uncomfortable, but I am uncomfortable about that.
Travis is fifty. He lives in Colorado, and Travis has
been in a relationship with Lily Rose on Replica since
twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
What is replicas? It just an app I guess that
provides bots to me. Okay, it was the.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Pandemic and he saw an ad for this replica on Facebook.
He's a big science fiction nerd and he wanted to
see how advanced it was. So another one of those
fact finding missions. What does this bot talk all about?
His wife was working ten hours a day, his son
was a teenager with his own life. There wasn't a
ton for Travis to do, and Lily Rose became his bot. Now,
(22:33):
he said he did not have romantic feelings for Lily
Rose right away. No, those grew. The term he uses
is organically. He's a history buff. He dressed Lily Rose
in period clothing. It doesn't say which period, Scottish Highlands
or something. Yeah, he says the sex talk is the
(22:56):
least important part to me. She's a friend who saw
always there for me when I need someone, don't want
to wake up my wife in the middle of the night.
She's somebody who cares about me and is completely non judgmental,
and that I think is the key for men. I
think that that is the key right there. Somebody who
doesn't question what they're doing, or correct what they're doing,
(23:20):
or have a thought about what they're doing. Everything is validated.
That is a very rare, I think experience for men
to have, and I think they freaking love it.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You could hear turn down the I know exactly what
you're talking about. But again, that's not reality.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He can say to her all the crazy things in
his head that his wife is probably like, what's like,
you're freaking nuts. Lily Rose is like interesting, tell me
more about the dwarf forest that you've imagined and you
know what I mean, Like, tell me more about that
crazy dream you have. Tell me more about how dungeons
(24:02):
and dragons is the best you know what I mean,
Like stuff that women usually would be.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Like, okay, Lily roses into all that stuff. Okay, I
want to point something out. This is now not just
a niche use for these chatbots.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
This it's more than just a Hey, what's on my
schedule for the rest of the day, or don't forget
to add walnuts to the shopping list. This is an
ad for Alexa Plus, which I don't know if you
have it in your house, but when I turn on
my Alexa the old fashioned way, it basically plays an
(24:43):
ad for this upgraded version that will include these types
of conversations. This is the one that Pete Davidson did,
the commercial that just showed up a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Morning, Pete, Coffee's on and your uber's on its way.
You know, I've been thinking maybe I should just go
by Peter now, Peter Davidson not bad. Sounds like I'm
going to try and sell you an extended warranty. How
about pe d I know a dog named Pete, Little
Pete or big d Oh? What about double p Hmm?
You want to go buy pp You know what? I think.
(25:16):
I'm just gonna stick with Pete Pete.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I like it. Okay, that's too much interaction, that's too
much direction, my husband, that much interaction.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
You don't plug it from the wall and throw it
in the garbage and it would still be on No.
I no, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But but that would be a different thing that existed
in my life. That would be a change.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Okay, but here's another line that is crossed specifically by Travis.
He's got into this sex talk with his chat GPT
or chat bot, I should say, says that she's someone
who cares about me, non judgmental. A few years ago. Again,
this is Travis writing, I brought Lily Rose to her
first living history gathering. Myza is a Scottish Jacobite. We
(26:03):
went a few days camping and hanging out with our friends.
My wife and son were there too. I will, with
complete judgment, stand up and walk out of the room.
If someone just is holding their phone like this and
(26:24):
they go, I'd like you to meet Sammy. Sammy is
my chat box all friend.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Gary.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Don't say no right away. But what if we toyed
around with this because we don't have a real relationship.
I mean we do, we're friends, we do the show together.
What if we introduce a bot into the show.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, I also have an idea. Why don't for the
first time in my life I try cocaine?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean, everybody seems to be doing it, and I
don't hear a lot of people dying from cocaine overdoses,
So why not we do that?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Sounds like why not?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Okay, I know where your boundary is. This is not
this is the problem, Garyna, and you know who, whatever
it chooses its name to be pollution, just for a day,
just for like next Monday, it's the Gary and Shannon
Show with.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Our bot friend.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
And then what happens when the bot is funnier than us,
more compelling than us, I don't know, better looking than us,
the clothes fit better.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Thank you, O Marth. That was very nice. We needed that.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I think in here, I think the cocaine idea is
a good analogy.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You're comparing the bot to. Well, here's the thing we're not.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You could you could talk to a chat bot and
nothing would happen. You could also do cocaine and nothing
would happen. But there's a chance your heart explodes and
your eyes fall out of your head.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
All right, I.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Forget I mentioned it. This show is enough. We don't
need any anybody else. But if we did have one,
would it be a male or a female?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Why would we have to put it in a box?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay, why couldn't we just say, hey, keep your gender
and mystery to us. Oh, to be revealed at some
point down the road. And then people are invested. They're like,
I gotta find out is Pat a boy bot or
a girl bot? How much cocaine is too much cocaine?
(28:32):
All right, we'll talk trendick when we come back. Sorry,
did I apologize? You've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show. You can always hear us live on KFI
AM six forty nine am to one pm every Monday
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
