yeah, put it in. One start, you can tell the hosts hate each other, see above, by S-L-R-N-V-O-S-N-T-K-W-C in the UK.

Nasty, nasty ass.

Untrue.

Why you keyboard smashed in a username just so you couldn't harass me?

It makes me feel like this is a pointed attack.

Someone who knows me or has beef, particularly with the Polyester podcast and is making accounts specifically maybe a fan of Taylor Swift specifically. Specifically, she approves us and isn't a real reviewer,

like the kind of kind people who leave us. Good review. In Spotify, we have Carly who says,

I heard someone say Gallo's humour only works

if you're the one wearing the rope. I think that sums up this kind of humour. Great episode, which is true. Thank you, Carly. And then Brooke said, I feel like it gets said every week, but so many good takes in this episode, which is also lovely. Thank you very much. Yeah, thank you. what we're talking about today Ione.

Oh, AI-Romantic partners.

I'm so har today, Ionia.

Or AI romantic partners. I'm so harrowed by the research. Yeah, me too. It's dark. It's dark times. This is the end of humanity. Eye robots coming true. We're all going to get... I've never seen I robot. I don't know what happens. The robots are actually sentient and people are like, oh, they're not sentient.

No, there's no way these things are sentient.

They're just evil. They're going to resendient. They won't. They will. If you keep like... It's not possible. It is possible. It's not possible. Anyway, my problem is that I was worried about the monkeys taken over and now I think... Yeah, the monkeys were never a problem. Monkeys are nice. I hate monkeys and I hate robots. Oh, can we not? Can we not about the monkeys today? I need to... I'm going to start living by candlelight. Like, I'm... I want to fuck it all of. Oh my God. I'm scared. You're not using AI though. no I'm not not. You're free from it. Yeah, but everyone else is. I'm going to end up with my inner tinfoil lined house. Keep them all out. Like, what's the breaking better call soul where he's just like everyone has to lock all their electronic devices off property before they can enter my house. I haven't watched better calls, so. I'm going to have that happen.
