One of the things I like about being on the Internet is that I get to meet the actual humans! There are people I've had real relationships with over many years, and some of them I've just never gotten to see in person yet. Making content on the Internet helps connect you to other people making content on the Internet, and if you're good at making friends, sometimes you can make a new friend. One such friend is featured in this podcast, and it's Annalisa Hanson—she is a therapist, who made some great content on TikTok, and then we hopped on the phone because we were such mutual fans, and then she joined me here on the podcast. Another guest on this episode is Dr. Mason Hargrave, we are also Clubhouse, and then he invited me to record a podcast in what was his apartment at the time. It's a classic.

Today’s conversation grew out of a phone call with Annalisa and subsequent calls with Brandon In, Mason, Ahmed Tahseen, and my daughter Quinn.

We “delve” into AI chatbots as a source of relationship advice. It’s quite the cautionary tale.

The music is by Owen Muir, with some tunes a gift from my friend John Vanderslice.
