Today on the show, teens are getting emotionally attached to AI chatbots, using them for advice, companionship, and sometimes treating them like digital therapists with Wi-Fi. We also look at why reality TV has become America's favorite stress escape, plus new research into the daily habits linked to happiness and lower stress levels. Tax refunds are rolling in, but most Americans are spending the money on bills, groceries, and basic survival instead of luxury splurges.

Also today: This Is Why I'm Broke Thursday, Things You Didn't Know You Needed To Know Today, the Crazy Crime story, and the ICYMIs.
